Chapter 143: Death and Life
Omiya Division was killed in battle, and the priests of Tianmen were also defeated, and under the leadership of Li Changge and Yao Pei, the Daomen spirit officials attacked the Ise Shrine.
Qi Xuansu didn't go to join in the fun, let Zhang Yuelu snuggle up in his arms, and simply found a place outside the shrine to sit down.
The two of them have had enough achievements, and they don't care about this little detail anymore.
No one will accuse them of being war-like, but they will be grateful to them for being humble.
It can be heard that there is still resistance in Ise Jingu, but it is stubborn resistance, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
After a while, Zhang Yuelu, who was leaning on Qi Xuansu's arms, opened his eyes: "It's over?" β
Qi Xuansu replied: "Although it is not over, the overall situation has been decided. β
Zhang Yuelu let out a low "um".
Qi Xuansu asked softly, "How do you feel?" β
"It's okay, it's just a little sleepy." Zhang Yuelu couldn't hide her tiredness, and she didn't struggle to get up.
Qi Xuansu said: "Then sleep for a while, I'm here." β
Zhang Yuelu disagreed: "This is a battlefield. β
Qi Xuansu borrowed the verses of the ancients: "Drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, and a few people come back to fight in ancient times." β
Zhang Yuelu said with a smile: "In that case, what about my cup of glow-in-the-dark wine?" β
Qi Xuansu said: "When I go back." β
Zhang Yuelu stopped talking, lying in Qi Xuansu's arms, looking up with half-squinted eyes.
Only then did she realize that the place Qi Xuansu chose was very good, and there was a cherry tree that was spared, and it sank into the belly of the underground mountain along with the shrine, and it was spring, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and there were petals falling from time to time.
Deep in the heart of the mountain, the tips of the upside-down stalactites are dotted with stars, creating a starry scene at night, and if you ignore the sounds of battle in the Ise Jingu, it is a beautiful night cherry blossom scene.
Zhang Yuelu muttered: "Once a year, in late spring, the fragrance of flowers falls in foreign countries. β
At this moment, a sword light illuminated the false night, and also tore open a gap.
A mirror flew out of this gap, even a few points smaller than an ordinary mirror, and in the process of falling, there were constantly streamers flying away.
This is the first of the three major artifacts in Fenglin Continent, the "Eight Mirrors", and now it has been beaten back to its original shape, except for the Eight Mirrors, but the three nobles are not seen.
In fact, it would take a little time for the national teacher to solve the divine incarnation of the three noble sons, but the Daomen spirit official's attack on the Ise Shrine accelerated the defeat of the three noble sons, and the national teacher did not let the divine incarnation of the three noble sons return to the divine kingdom smoothly, but completely killed it, and for a long time in the future, the three main gods have been powerless to interfere in the human world except for the real body.
In a few moments, a portal opened above the Ise Jingu, and the national teacher holding the "Knock on the Gate of Heaven" slowly walked out of it, volleying into the void, overlooking the Ise Jingu Shrine below.
As far as the national teacher could see, all kinds of formations began to collapse, and the process of the spirit officials capturing Ise Jingu was accelerated.
Eventually, the national teacher landed in front of the main entrance of the Imperial Palace, and when you walked inside, you could see the statue of Himi Kozun, dressed as a member of the imperial family, with a sun wheel hanging high behind his back, and holding the "Eight Mirrors" in both hands.
At this time, the "Eight Mirrors" were dim, and there were slight cracks on the mirror, which was obviously extremely badly damaged, and it took a long time of divine nourishment to recover as before.
γ
The national teacher stretched out his hand and pointed at the statue. The idol spun involuntarily and turned its back to the main entrance, facing the wall.
Above the East China Sea.
Qingwei Zhenren took the initiative to disperse the "Star Luo Sword Array", and Yuzao also put away the tail behind him, just like an ordinary woman.
A phantasmal shadow of a fox "ran" from the direction of Ise Daigojinyama, and finally merged into Tamamo's body.
Yuzao asked, "Did the Taipingdao Dazhen make a move?" β
"It should be." Qingwei Zhenren responded.
Yuzao sighed: "In this way, the three nobles are still defeated, or the failure of the entire Heavenly Gate is inevitable. β
Qingwei Zhenren: "My previous promise is still valid. β
Yuzao did not answer positively: "At that time, the Tuyumen Stream Onmyoji was very prosperous, and its first territory, the Imperial Gate Taiqin, had never been defeated except for being injured by a heavenly calamity, and led the Yin-Yang Dao to overwhelm the Heavenly Gate and the Buddha Gate with his own strength, becoming an existence similar to the alliance leader, and he could even use the three major artifacts of the Heavenly Gate and the royal family at will." If I just fought alone, I might not lose, but Tuyumen Taiqin has many helpers, and he also used one of the three artifacts, the 'Eight Mirrors', and I was invincible after all, and I was '???????????????? 'Eight mirrors' take away a soul. After I escaped from Pingjing, Tianmen still refused to let me go, and pursued and killed me three times. β
Qingwei Zhenren specially studied this record before recruiting Yuzao.
In the first stage, the Fenglinzhou Imperial Court sent 130,000 pursuers to attack with bows and arrows, and Yuzao set off a hurricane with his natural powers, blowing a rain of arrows, and a rain of fire, burning more than 30,000 people in one go. The pursuers brought in shield carts again, blessed with frost as a barrier, and surrounded the front of Yuzao. Tamamo wags his third tail and unleashes an earthquake, killing 20,000 of the former army. Seventy thousand retreated first, leaving through a valley in Nasuno, and Tamamo shook his fourth and fifth tails, first a meteorite blocked the road, and then a flood arose, and only seven escaped from the 70,000-strong army. The battle of the first stage is over.
The second stage is the main attack in front of Yuzao, the Fenglinzhou court sent another 300,000 troops, the army returned to the vicinity of Nasuno, just set up the camp, the main generals were discussing in the camp, a huge thunder slashed, all the generals were killed. For a while, the army was leaderless, and at this time, a lifeless and strange army appeared in the direction of Nasuno, some people were damp, some were scorched, and some were blurred in flesh and blood, it was the first pursuing army that died in Nasuno, and was turned into an army of undead by Tamamo. The army fled in all directions, and many little demon foxes rushed out of the road, and in just one night, the army lost more than half, and another 150,000 people, counting the first time, nearly 300,000 people had died.
Fortunately, the monks, priests, and onmyoji arrived, purified the army of the undead, repelled the demon fox, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
In the third stage, another 500,000 people, along with thousands of priests, monks, and onmyoji, were sent to launch a counteroffensive. Three hundred and sixty monks formed a demon subduing formation, turned into three hundred and sixty chains, bound Yuzao, and then launched scriptures to form a cage blockade. Eight hundred onmyoji opened the enchantment to bless the demon subduing array, and the army took the opportunity to attack Yuzao, and in the end, the army took 200,000 people as sacrifices, and all the demon slayers exhausted their lifelong cultivation, and launched a Buddhist immortal artifact to kill Yuzao.
No matter what others think, Qingwei Zhenren has a feeling after reading it, which is outrageous.
In order to kill Tamamo, a total of 500,000 people died.
This is like the literati have no concept of the number of people, they always say that they are too big and too much, and they are millions of troops and eight million gods in the sky at every turn, in fact, the Daomen has used less than 100,000 people to fight Fenglinzhou, which also includes all kinds of logistics and auxiliary personnel, and the real combat personnel will not exceed 50,000.
Although there is a huge army of Toyotomi Prime Minister's servants in addition to this less than 100,000 people, it is undeniable that even with the family background of Daomen and Daigen, they cannot mobilize a million troops casually, they can maintain a million army, and maintaining an army and sending an army to fight are two different concepts. Not to mention the 500,000 killed, mind you, deaths, not casualties.
Based on their own experience, Qingwei Zhenren believes that this story is fake.
The point is that this story is self-contradictory, first saying that before the Tsuchigomon Taiqin seriously injured Tamamo, and then saying that before dispatching a million troops to conquer Tamamo at the cost of 500,000 dead, so what did the Tsuchido Gomon Taiqin do?
What the specific truth is, probably only Tamamo himself knows.
Qingwei Zhenren asked: "It is said that in order to kill you, the Fenglinzhou Imperial Court dispatched a million troops, and in the end 500,000 people died, is it true?" β
Yuzao said: "The historian rarely knows the soldiers, and he can't record the actual deeds. Of course, there is no such thing as a million-strong army, only tens of thousands of people plus a few thousand priestsγ???????????????? Onmyoji, monks, and finally killed me, who was seriously injured. β
Kiyo Shinto asked again, "Because the 'Yatsugami Mirror' has imprisoned your soul, you must follow the drive of Ise Jingu." But how did you come back from the dead? β
Yuzao smiled and said, "This should be what Daomen wants to know the most." β
Qingwei Zhenren does not deny it: "Daomen can create gods, but it cannot bring people back from the dead." β
Yuzao said: "The ruler is short, and the inch is long." It is undeniable that the Dao Gate is more powerful than the Heavenly Gate, but the Heavenly Gate also has places that the Dao Gate cannot reach. The key to this lies in the Huangquan Kingdom, we all know that the Reed Yuan Country is Fenglin Continent, the High Heaven Kingdom is the Kingdom of God where the three main gods are located, but the Huangquan Kingdom is an extremely mysterious place, the Huangquan Kingdom is of course not the Nine Yin Netherworld in the traditional sense, but a special God Kingdom. Real people have read legends about me, and they should remember this paragraph, saying that I once turned the dead army of more than 100,000 into an army of the undead, in fact, I don't have such magical powers, in fact, it is the priests who resurrected the warriors I killed with the help of the magic of the Huangquan Kingdom. β
Qingwei Zhenren continued: "And after you died, you were also resurrected by the Huangquan Kingdom. β
Yuzao said: "After I was resurrected, I barely maintained the status of an immortal, but my strength dropped greatly, which is also one of the costs of being resurrected. Before a real person has truly attained immortality, I am no longer an opponent, let alone a figure like a national teacher. But if I can get back to my prime, I'm definitely not a match for me. β
Qingwei Zhenren did not deny this, and then asked, "Why is Huangquan Kingdom so special?" β
"As far as I know, the Huangquan Kingdom is the kingdom of God left by the first generation of gods, and it was later taken over by Izang Ranzun in the second generation of gods, after Izang Ranzun disappeared, Izang Nuozun became the master of the Huangquan Kingdom, but Izang Nuozun was very jealous of the Huangquan Kingdom and sealed the Huangquan Kingdom. It is also rumored that the reason why Izang Nuozun sealed the Huangquan Kingdom was because Izang Ranzun was resurrected in the Huangquan Kingdom, and Suzhan Wuzun once wanted to open the Huangquan Kingdom, which made Izang Ranzun very angry. After the three noble sons overthrew Izang Nuozun, the moonlit night saw the honor inherited the Huangquan Kingdom, but the moonlit night saw the honor rarely went to the Huangquan Kingdom, and spent most of his time in the High Heaven Kingdom. Tamamo told the story in front of him.
Qingwei Zhenren said thoughtfully: "Seeing Zun on a moonlit night is not like the master of Huangquan Country, but like the guard of Huangquan Country. β
