Chapter 369: Battle Trends
Xuanluan heard the words of the fire monkey, and said angrily: "Who is afraid of you, there are not many good things in your fairy world, they are all sanctimonious old guys, when the time comes, I will have a good fight with you!"
Yifeng stopped Xuanluan and shouted: "It's getting bigger and smaller, if you want to be by my side, listen to me, otherwise you can go." ”
Xuanluan heard Yifeng's scolding, tears rolled in his eyes, and he didn't dare to speak up.
Xiu Gu couldn't look at it, walked up to Xuanluan, gently took her hand, and said to Yifeng: "Yifeng, you are still a child, why are you so fierce, if you don't scream, you won't scream." ”
Xuanluan heard Xiu Gu defend herself, as if it was really her own fault, she didn't appreciate it, shook off Xiu Gu's hand, turned around, turned into the body of Xuanluan in the Nine Prisons, spread her wings, set off a strong wind and rose into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yifeng shook his head and sighed, the fire monkey didn't care, but felt that Xuanluan's wild girl had a lot of personality, and Xiu Gu also smiled and shook her head.
Yifeng looked at Liu Yi who was standing next to him, from just now, Liu Yi couldn't interject, very embarrassed, and now he was stared at by Yifeng, which was even more embarrassing.
Xiao Fudie looked left and right, others couldn't see it, she had been in the world for so many years, how could she not understand the secret, of course, she couldn't say it now.
It's not easy for her to intervene in this matter, the emotional matter of the three of them can only be solved by themselves.
However, from her observations along the way, Xiu Gu and Liu Yi are indeed in love.
And Yifeng, before he could distinguish between family and love, he was pushed by morality and fate onto a path with great responsibilities, and when he looked back, he confused the true meaning.
One day, when he finds that he must separate these two, he will experience the pain of unbearable and severed endurance.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fudie reluctantly smiled: "Don't stand here and say it, it's smelly, it's almost dawn, let's go back to the city." ”
Yifeng retracted his gaze, nodded, and the group turned around and walked through the battlefield where countless corpses were piled up, heading towards the city.
Along the way, the faces of the Fire Monkey and Xiugu and the others were very solemn, although the joy and vignettes of the encounter just now made them dilute their perception of this battle.
But at this moment, when they really walked into the battlefield, they knew the bloodshed and cruelty of this battle.
The faces of the legionnaires still seemed to have a residual fear of death, and some of their eyes were staring at the sky, and their eyes were full of blood.
Puffs of black smoke rose from some of the corpses charred by the fire oil, emitting an unpleasant scorching stench, and next to them were scattered mutilated blades, some of which were covered with gaps, and I don't know how many souls had died at the edges.
There were also tattered artillery and bed crossbows, broken ladders, broken wood, and the remains of lost limbs······
There are not many corpses of Buddhist monks, and their bald heads look particularly abrupt at the moment, like cruel flesh fungi emerging from the ground, and they are also stained with blood.
Some monks are still holding the Buddha beads on their chests and the prayer beads in their hands, and the Buddha characters engraved on the Buddha beads are particularly dazzling in the pool of blood.
All the corpses pillow on each other, and now they have let go of their hatred and obsession, and they have all become a useless and miserable shell, and the souls on which they rely to act have fallen into the underworld, waiting for more difficult torments and the next reincarnation.
At this time, they walked slowly on the quagmire road of blood and blood step by step, and a question that seemed to have an answer came to their hearts:
What is it that keeps them asleep here forever?
Is it Emperor Wu, is it Buddhism, or is it fate?
The answer is yes, but everyone's mind is different.
But what is the same is that none of them can change it all.
Along the way, Yifeng and his brothers and sisters exchanged recent news with each other.
When Yifeng heard the shocking secret obtained by the fire monkey in Taiqing Gate, he couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that the secret of the Wei clan's long-lasting prosperity turned out to be the only human god, or the star god of the same origin as the fire monkey.
He suddenly thought of what Master Hong said to him when he was dying, Master Hong should know this secret, otherwise he would not have thought of avoiding directly overthrowing the Wei dynasty and establishing a new dynasty, but let Wei Huang, who was also a member of the Wei royal family, take it on his behalf.
However, when Yifeng learned that Xiugu was the prince's younger sister, he was even more shocked.
But later, when he heard that the prince actually sent someone to intercept and kill Xiugu, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, the complexity of the situation was beyond his imagination, and he couldn't predict how this matter would develop in the future.
Rushing to the top of the city tower, Elder Juechen and the others were sitting on the ground in the corner of the city tower to heal their wounds, he had just led more than sixty people to entangle Lu Tiesheng and Hu Ling and other generals, and was killed by more than half of them.
Later, when the monk regiment rushed out of the city gate, the corresponding thousand monks and ten thousand monks added up to only about forty people.
They were more than a dozen fewer than the enemy's legion generals, which was also the direct reason why they still allowed them to break through although they surrounded Shang Gu and the others.
They face opponents who outnumber them in strength and numbers, and continuing to grapple will only kill themselves.
And at this time, even if one life is exchanged for one life, it is very worthless and meaningless for the situation of the Yunzhou Buddhism and Taoism War.
Yifeng was entangled in Shura's karma at the time, and he also knew this deeply, so he let Shanggu and them leave, because as long as he made a move, other gods and monks would inevitably be involved in the battle.
When they climbed the tower, Xiu Gu saw Yuan Yin at a glance, exclaimed, and rushed towards him, and the fire monkey also quickly caught up.
Yuan Yin saw the two of them, it was a surprise, every day and night after coming down from Qingshan Temple, he was thinking about these junior brothers and sisters, and now seeing them safe and sound, he was even more in tears, and it was inevitable to reminisce about the old lyric.
Outside the city tower, Yan Yinshan held on to the railing, looking at the entire battlefield in front of the city, Qing Ning stood behind him, and there were 10,000 monks next to him, carefully reporting the number of monks killed and the number of enemies killed in this battle.
Yifeng walked towards him quietly, only to hear the ten thousand monks say: "Master Yan, a total of 24,312 Buddhist monks were killed and wounded in this battle, plus those twenty-three traitors······ The total number of soldiers of the Death Legion that we have counted is 48,253 people, countless escapees, and zero prisoners, after all, this battle, either you die or I live, Amitabha, good, good, may the Buddha open his eyes as soon as possible. ”
Yan Yinshan nodded, and the ten thousand monks glanced at the wind that walked by, folded their hands, nodded slightly, and withdrew.
Yifeng also hurriedly folded his hands in return, because of the behavior of this ten thousand monks, his heart suddenly felt a lot better, and he exhaled softly.
Yan Yinshan turned around and said to Yifeng, "Did you hear it?"
Yifeng nodded, Xiu Gu and the others came over, and Yi Feng introduced the senior brothers and sisters behind him to him, but the true identity of Xiu Gu was omitted, and the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.
Except for Xiugu and Liu Yi, everyone else Yan Yinshan had seen it, and when he heard that Liu Yi was the main general under the prince, Yan Yinshan's eyes flickered, but he didn't say much.
After the introduction, Yifeng asked Yan Yinshan, "What's next?"
Yan Yinshan pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "The situation is indeed a bit unexpected by us. ”
"What's wrong?" Ichikaze also had a premonition that something was wrong.
At this time, Elder Juechen got up and said a few words to the monks who were healing around him, and saw that most of the monks had gone downstairs, leaving only a few monks who had cultivated deeply and looked more experienced and steady.
Elder Juechen walked over with these people and said, "There is the latest news just now, the Right Dragon Martial Legion and the two state border legions responsible for exterminating the Southwest Prefecture and Mizhou Buddhism are moving to the border of Yunzhou, and they will enter Yunzhou in a few days!"
Yifeng and the others were silent when they heard the news, they knew that once this part of the army entered Yunzhou, Shang Gu and the others who were defeated by them just now would immediately make a comeback, and then their more than 20,000 Buddhist monks would die in vain today.
Ichikaze asked, "We just finished this battle today, how could they have predicted the dynamics here?"
Juechen shook his head and said, "This is not very clear, I heard that the Mizhou Mu and the Southwest Zhou Mu were both Shang Gu's contemporaries, they were both born in the Holy Academy, it should be that Shang Gu communicated the battle plan with them before this battle, right?"
Yan Yinshan groaned: "It shouldn't be, Shanggu has always been arrogant, if you borrow troops from them, wouldn't you be showing weakness to others? ”
"Could it be that the Buddhist monks in those two states have been exterminated by them?"
Ichifeng's eyes flickered, and if that was the case, it wasn't good news for him.
Yan Yinshan said: "It's not certain now, but we must send troops to stop them, otherwise once the troops enter Yunzhou, the threat to us will be too great." ”
Yifeng nodded, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "There is one more thing, I think, now I have to tell Elder Juechen about the plan." ”
"What plan?" Except for Yan Yinshan and Yuan Yin, everyone else looked at Yifeng suspiciously.
