Chapter 43: The Shaman

After Mu Yilianke Zhao and Wu, he learned the lesson of the second prince last time, and without waiting for a break, he divided into three routes with the Xuanjia army and the Zhennan army to attack the Song, Chu and Yue kingdoms respectively.

The 500,000 allied forces of the mountains were already sent to Wu and Zhao, and the rear was very empty, and the Xia army basically did not encounter any resistance, so they took the capital of the three kingdoms, and then destroyed the three kingdoms of Lu, Zhang and Min, and fought until they reached the edge of a deep stream, and then had to stop and rest.

To say that this deep stream is like the crack left by someone after someone cut off the 500,000 mountains with a sword, it is called the sinking fish stream. The deep stream traverses the entire continent from east to west, dividing it into two parts, north and south, with thousands of zhang wide and only a few dozen zhang narrow, and the rough sea water below.

There were more than a dozen bridges that used to connect the north and south, but now they have also been destroyed. The danger of this terrain is as dangerous as that of Luoyan Mountain.

In the last southern expedition, Emperor Xia's strategy was to first lay down the Eight Kingdoms on the north side of the deep stream, because this deep stream was really insurmountable. The narrow places where the bridge can be built are heavily guarded by enemy troops, and if you want to cross the sea by boat, it is also impossible, and the 500,000 mountains bordering the surrounding sea are all cliffs, and there is nowhere to land.

The Xia army conquered half of the rivers and mountains in the north of the 500,000 mountains, and the southern expedition was half the success. While Mu Yi rested the army, he followed Xia Wenyuan to appease the people of various countries and support the puppet regime. After all, this place is too far away from Great Xia, and the terrain is extremely treacherous. At most, they can only be guarded by garrisons, and there is no way to forcibly relocate the people to live a hard life in the poor mountains and bad waters.

Half a month later, the holy decree of Emperor Xia's commendation also arrived, and Mu Yi was officially named a general and given the title of "Dingguo". This time, Mu Yi made another miraculous achievement, and naturally no one in the DPRK and China could object. Xia Wenyuan and Sima Shu also expressed their happiness, and both said that Mu Yi should be enshrined this time, and immediately convened all the generals to have a feast to celebrate Mu Yi.

Mu Yi finally got what he wanted, and he was overjoyed. Regardless of the previous caution, he had a good drink with the two generals, so he was not happy.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Sima Shu praised the wine: "This big victory, thanks to the work of Mu Jianjun alone, since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and they really teach us and other veterans to be ashamed." ”

Mu Yi smiled with a tongue and said, "Old General Sima is serious. The kid is also a fluke, a fluke, hehe. ”

"Haha, come on, little brother Mu has another drink. Sima Shu picked up another glass of amber wine, a specialty of the Song Kingdom, and drank it with Mu Yi.

Mu Yi was busy clinking glasses with Sima Shu, and when he went down with a big cup, he felt like he was in the clouds and fog, and he was floating when he saw everything.

"General Mu was able to raid the Wu army's camp this time, which really impressed the two of us. I don't know how General Mu used to climb over the deep pit without Wu Jun knowing, and the old man was very puzzled. Xia Wenyuan took the opportunity to ask.

"This is simple," Mu Yi said after drinking, "Our Great Xia Kingdom is based on craftsmanship, so naturally we have to rely on these instruments more." I just got some "wooden birds" that could carry people to the mountains, and the sneak attack was naturally not a problem. ”

"I see," Xia Wenyuan's eyes rolled twice, and he said suddenly, "There is such a delicate and exquisite instrument, it seems that we old guys are outdated." During the last southern expedition, His Royal Highness the Second Prince used a flint cart to break the golden soup and the two cities of Yushan, and I thought it was just some strange tricks. Now, the old man realizes that he is outdated. ”

Sima Shu laughed: "Yes, since Little Brother Mu has such a delicate instrument, it must not be a problem to cross this deep stream." At that time, the heavy task of building bridges will all depend on you, little brother. ”

"That's natural," Mu Yi couldn't say it clearly, "This matter is wrapped up in me, and there will be no problem." ”

"That's good, that's good. Come, Brother Mu has another drink. Sima Shu smiled again and came over to pour wine.

After a while, Mu Yi was drunk and muddy, lying motionless on the table. Xia Wenyuan and Sima Shu looked at each other and smiled, and then ordered his subordinates to help Mu Yi go back to rest.

Mu Yi woke up the next day, recalled the events of last night, and regretted it, and even said that the wine in this cup was wrong, and told everyone his hole cards.

Nian Yi looked at him with disgust: "Men will make mistakes when they get drunk, either they are drunk and have sex, or they are drunk and talk nonsense." ”

"How do you know that men will be drunk and sexual, could it be that you have any painful or shy memories?" Yue Ting smiled.

"Little fat man, are you itching?" Nian Yi glared at Yue Ting viciously.

"Brother is not fat, at most he is strong, don't talk nonsense, little girl. Yue Ting argued. In fact, it's no wonder that these years have been good, Yue Ting is eating Haisai for a meal, and he has eaten a fairly handsome face with Chinese characters into a big cake face.

"Okay, okay, what time is it, you still have the heart to say this, my head is big now. Mu Yi looked weak.

"Who can blame that? Don't you blame yourself for being stupid, if you want me to say that you are really a piece of wood, I will call you a little wood in the future. Nian Yi said with a grin.

Mu Yi was speechless, so he could only pretend not to hear it, and cast a look of help at Yue Ting.

"It's a little bigger, look at what makes you nervous. Yue Ting disagreed, "Sooner or later, this 'wood bird' will be known." We have transported a full 100,000 people, although they are all our own Heavenly Hunting Army, but there are many people, even if you seal it again, it won't be long before it spreads. What's more, this 'wooden bird' is not so easy to imitate, otherwise it would not have been made for thousands of years. ”

"I can only think like this," Mu Yi sighed, "This 'wooden bird' is really not easy to hide, and when I return to Beijing, I am afraid that Emperor Xia will ask me for drawings." ”

"If you want, give it. In fact, although the 'wood bird' is exquisite, the actual effect is not very large. It is not safe to transport fewer people and short distances, and it is not as good as carrier pigeons. That is, it can only be used in situations like Luoyan Mountain, which require short-distance transportation. It's okay to sink the fish stream, but to erect a pontoon bridge, you only need someone to pull two ropes over, and you are enough for one person, and you don't need this 'wooden bird'. ”

"That's what I mean," Mu Yi smiled bitterly, "What's more, I made a guarantee last night, so I have to go if I don't go." ”

Yue Ting and Nian Yi couldn't help but ridicule Mu Yi again, and he was a little embarrassed when he said it. Just when he was embarrassed, a figure suddenly flashed into the tent.

"Third brother!" Mu Yi opened up Ren's pulse, and his sense of all things in heaven and earth was extremely keen, and he recognized it as Anan without waiting for anyone to stand still!

"Two brothers. Anan still had the same cold face, but when his eyes glanced at Nian Yi, a little softness appeared.

"Third child, what's wrong with our treasures, have you hidden them? Yue Ting's mouth turned out to be this stubble.

"Don't worry, big brother, only I know. ”

"Look at your little bit of talent, it's not all my Tocharian treasures," Nian Yi pursed his lips, "This is your third brother, cold as a stone, so I'll call you a little stone." ”

When Anan heard this, he squeezed out a rare smile to her, but this smile was a little stiff: "My name is Anan, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Nian Yi was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "I'm also very happy to meet you, I'm Nian Yi." ”

After saying this, it was a little cold. Nian Yi waited for Anan to answer, but Anan was stunned and didn't know what to do. Mu Yi knew that he was stupid and stupid, so he opened his mouth to ask about his recent situation.

It turned out that he had been looking for traces of the killer in Lingzhou recently, but unfortunately he didn't find much in the end, and only after returning to southern Xinjiang did he know about Mu Yi's southern expedition, so he hurried over.

Anan's lair is at the southern end of the 500,000 Mountain, but it has not been affected by the southern expedition at present, Mu Yi specially asked Anan's lair about the location, so as not to accidentally affect it when the time comes.

When Mu Yi said that the ultimate goal of this southern expedition was Yanling Kingdom, Anan shook his head and said, "Second brother broke this thought, it's impossible." ”

Although Mu Yi only acted according to Emperor Xia's orders and had no intention of invading other countries, he was quite strange when he heard Anan say this, so he asked the reason.

After some conversation, Mu Yi learned that Anan had broken into the Yanling Palace at night in order to find the traces of the enemy. When he arrived, he found that a banquet had been set up in the palace, and it was waiting for him to go. During the conversation, Anan learned that more than ten years ago, even if the Speech Spirit Shaman had reached this matter, he was so shocked that he never dared to set foot in the palace again.

Yue Ting was amazed: "If this is the case, the Spirit Kingdom of Yan Ling is indeed invincible." I knew what you were going to do in advance, and I was going to spank it. ”

"That's nature, little fat man has never seen anything of the world when you see it. Nian Yi was disdainful.

Yue Ting then remembered that Nian Yi was also from Yanling, so he asked her to talk about the situation in Yanling Kingdom.

"Actually, I also listened to my mother. My mother used to be a shaman in the country of Yanling, and she was also a white-robed shaman second only to the high priest. Yanling Kingdom does not have a royal family like other countries, the supreme ruler is the high priest, and the status of the rest of the priests is also extremely respected. ”

"However, although the shaman has a high status, he actually meditates in the Yanling Palace every day, in order to see some fragments of the future. The average shaman, meditating for a few years will not yield anything, and can only see what will happen in the next ten years or so. The white-robed shaman can see fragments within a hundred years, and the high priest can see what will happen a hundred years later. ”

"It's incredible," Mu Yi sighed, "If the future can be foreseen, then isn't everyone's fate already doomed, what else are we working for." ”

"Little wood, you are really rotten wood and cannot be carved. Nian Yi glanced at him with disdain, "The future is only foreseeable, but it is not immutable. A shaman once foresaw that someone would kill him in the future, so he killed that person beforehand. When the prophecy came, the assassination did not take place, and he continued to live, which is the role of the shaman. ”

Nian Yi paused: "If the future cannot be changed, and it is just a story to tell you about the future, how can the high priest become the ruler of the Yanling Kingdom." ”

"I see. Mu Yi smiled embarrassedly.

"However, the number of shamans in the Yanling Kingdom is extremely small, basically maintaining around a hundred. At the age of twelve, every Lingling person has to perform the Celestial Eye Opening Ceremony. Those who can successfully open the Heavenly Eye will naturally become a shaman and enter the Yanling Palace. ”

"Open the eyes of the sky?" Mu Yi's heart moved, "The 'Tao Sutra' records that Lu Dongbin opened the Tianmu Acupoint in order to travel outside the world and play the world, what is the relationship between the two?"

"There should be a connection, but it's certainly not the same thing. I have also read Lu Dongbin's record, and it seems that it is just a cultivation method to induce qi into the meridians, which is extremely dangerous. The opening of the Heavenly Eyes of the Kingdom of Words and Spirits is just a complex sacrificial ritual that guides people to see the future and is not dangerous. The divine art of the Kingdom of Words and Spirits is another set of methods independent of the prophecy technique, both of which are taken from an ancient book. ”

Mu Yi immediately thought of Tocharo's "Shanglan Sutra", could it be that this ancient book has no relationship with the ancient book that records the "Shanglan Sutra"?
