Chapter 52: The Ground Hunts for Soldiers and Horses

"Zhao Xiaoyou, aren't you such a person?" Hengbi said with a smile: "I heard from Tie Gong that you are not only proficient in performing spells and water, summoning and exorcising evil spirits, but also have the skill of pulling out the dead soul. Although this seat has to be sealed, it is a lonely sitting on the altar, is lacking soldiers and horses, insufficient guard of honor, if you encounter any spirits and demons, you still have to rely on this seat to kill alone. ”

Zhao Xiao pondered and pondered, the so-called Fu Gong generals and soldiers and horses came from more than one place. The most authentic nature is the immortal family who preaches the truth of the Tao, opens the cave, tries to urn, and drives the officials and generals to prepare all the soldiers. In the case of demons and evil calamities, they can rely on the Dharma to reach the true spirit, and summon the ancestor to drive down the immortal officials and generals, and descend the mighty gods.

However, this kind of Dharma generals have the highest requirements, and the children of later generations must not only have enough cultivation power, but also feel the heart of heaven. Otherwise, just like Liang Shuo, even if he relied on Liang Tao to control the cave and assign immortal generals, he would not be able to summon them at will.

The second-class Dharma Warriors are recruited and collected by mortal monks themselves, but there are many types, either to collect the dead souls of the defeated army and pull them out, or to subdue the mountain spirits and water monsters and prohibit them from being detained.

For example, the Zhu Wen white ribbon of the Huaiying Pavilion Fu Official, among them is the fire crow that seals the remaining gas of the fire essence, which is a kind of spirit that does not have spiritual intelligence, but it is better than the fierce fire.

Since it is a self-recruited collection of generals and horses, it often needs to be supported by sorcerers and monks. There are a lot of things to pay attention to, some generals need to set up a ritual altar to practice day and night, and some need to open a government and build a government and a clear order, even if it is a law urn fire crow must be raised with the temperature of the sun and harmony.

What's more, with the cultivation of individual monks, it is often difficult to recruit many soldiers and horses. Whether it is the dead soul of the defeated army or the spirit of the five elements, if it is not restrained, it is easy to turn against the person who practices the law.

The system of the temple was originally determined for this purpose, and one of the duties of the monks who could be awarded the position of spiritual officer was to provide for and practice the Dharma Jar soldiers and horses.

It's just that compared to the monks in the world, the city gods and earths guarding one side are often better able to control these undead souls, spirits and ghosts. And if you want to dispatch the city god to drive the generals, you can't just cultivate the mana, usually the corresponding temple keeper has the authority.

These temple observance and worship rituals gather ordinary believers through various yin and yang rituals on weekdays, so as to provide incense and faith for the Chenghuang Diji for good fortune, and also collect Yin soldiers and ghosts for the Chenghuang Diji.

On the other hand, the temple keeper will also be protected by the Chenghuang Di. There is even a legend in the Tianxia Dynasty, a certain temple wishes the gods for a long time, worship sincerely, suddenly the local flood is about to occur, the temple Zhu got the dream warning of the earth, quickly wake up the villagers to take refuge in high places, not to mention the catastrophe, after the flood also found a cellar where the ancients buried gold, silver and jewelry under the reminder of the earth, so the family business prospered.

Zhao Xiao understood that Hengbi hoped that he would be the temple of the shrine, which was not only a fancy to Zhao Xiao's skills, but also an affirmation of Zhao Xiao's conduct.

"After the end of the bandit disaster in Starfall County, there is no guarantee that Xiao Zhao will be able to continue to stay here." Zhao Xiao replied: "But now that Xingluo County is still killing and fighting, pulling out the dead soul and leading the altar, Xiao Zhao must do his best." It's just that Xiao Zhao also has a reluctant request. ”

Hengbi asked, "Do you want this seat to help you exterminate the thieves?" ”

Zhao Xiao sighed lightly: "Xiao Zhao understands that yin and yang have different paths and should not be mixed. What's more, if the mortal mortals fight with swords, if the gods are too deeply involved, it is difficult to bear the burden. Otherwise, it is like Liang Gongzi summoned God, but in the end, innocent civilians were killed. ”

Hengbi couldn't help but feel nostalgic: "If it weren't for Liang Tao passing the true shape of this seat to Liang Shuo and forcibly urging it, why would it cause a catastrophe?" Do you also want this seat to deal with that Yang Liujun? ”

"Does God know about this man?"

Hengbi said: "I have heard from Tie Gong that Yang Liujun has been secretly operating in Xingluo County for several years. He even noticed Tie Gong's deeds for a time, and tried to visit him, but Tie Gong didn't want to show it. Yang Liujun contacted the mountain people and monsters in Panlong Mountain, and exchanged affairs with Yunyan Peak, Tie Gong was aware of it, and the two sides did not interfere with each other. ”

Zhao Xiao couldn't help asking, "Does the god think that this person is right or evil, and is unwilling to make a move against him?" ”

"People's hearts are unpredictable, the world is uncertain, how can good and evil be so easy to decide?" Hengbi said: "It's just that now that this seat has been sacrificed on the altar, the people you see in your eyes are not limited to one city and one place. ”

Zhao Huang knew that although Hengbi was enshrined by the court of Huaxu State, he could not simply be regarded as a vassal of Huaxu State. Good people and thieves are all mortals in the eyes of Hengbi, and it is not good to favor one over the other.

"Xiao Zhao didn't dare to ask for too much." Zhao Xiao said: "Now the thieves are entrenched in Yunyan and the surrounding counties and townships, and the troops and defenses are unknown, and they only ask God to find out one or two. ”

"It's not that hard." Hengbi agreed.

Just as Zhao Xiao was secretly communicating with Hengbi, Xin Shunying suddenly approached and said, "Senior Brother Zhao is really calculating, he will catch the city god Hengbi so soon?" ”

Zhao Xiao was taken aback, hid the True Talisman with his backhand, and asked, "What does Senior Sister Xin mean by this?" ”

"I looked at the atmosphere of the shrine from afar, and I saw a ray of divine light from a distance that was tied to Senior Brother Zhao." Xin Shunying's demeanor was demure: "With such a connection of qi and numbers, I'm afraid that Hengbi Gong can be sealed and closely related to Senior Brother Zhao, right?" ”

Zhao Xiao said: "It's obviously a request from the Chongxuan Pavilion, how can it be closely related to me?" ”

"Do you still want to put it down?" Xin Shunying said: "Before the Tiegong Temple enchantment was launched, it should be the layout design of Senior Brother Zhao. Although I don't understand the secret, the Liang clan may not be willing to let the Fa Gong Immortal be granted a fief. Senior Brother Zhao used a clever plan to shirk the matter to the demon, and quietly took away Liang Shuo's big help, I really admire it. ”

Zhao Xiao was secretly shocked in his heart, and pretended to be casual on his face: "Senior Sister Xin, don't tarnish people's innocence out of thin air." Where can I interfere with the Liang Clan's Dharma Immortal General? As for Liang Shuo, people still have immortal magic weapons such as Jiutian Yuntai, there is no shortage of spell pills, and the first seat of Chongxuan Pavilion Liang is even more respected as a national teacher. ”

"Say whatever you want." Xin Shunying breathed a sigh of relief: "But that's okay, Senior Brother Zhao doesn't really want to take refuge in Chongxuan Pavilion after all." ”

……

Yang Liujun returned to the Yunyan rudder, which is a wide valley, looking up, when the clouds are thin, you can occasionally see the Yunyan Peak that reaches into the sky.

At that time, the displaced people of Xingluo County fled to Panlong Mountain one after another in order to avoid the people of Yimu. When some people come here, they find that there are stone palaces and acres of gardens, although they have been abandoned for a long time, but they are enough to settle down.

These abandoned stone halls were originally built by the people of Yunyan Peak. After all, not all disciples can climb to the top of the cave mansion, and they can only live and cultivate in the dojo at the bottom of the mountain.

Although the dojo under the mountain is far from being as pure as the peak cave, there is also a retreat hall where Kunlun jade is placed, and the sesame herb elixir is also planted in the garden of the fields, but it is a pity that the mountain people have changed to plant ordinary grains, which has ruined the charm of the medicine field.

When Yang Liujun came to Yunyan Peak, in order to raise the flag and raise troops, he set this valley as the general rudder, brought the people of the mountain under his command, and began to communicate with all parties and contact people.

Today's Yunyan rudder has been reorganized, and the periphery is arranged with fence walls, guard towers and arrow towers, and there are soldiers on guard to patrol and be heavily guarded. From a distance, it can be seen that there is a Dharma altar in the center of the valley, and the big ding on it is burning endlessly, forming a forbidden rudder that shrouds Yunyan.

However, there are not many people in the helm at the moment, and Yang Liujun has almost sent out all the people who can be sent.

"Yang Liujun." Bai Zhangqi stepped forward and handed over a bottle of elixir, and at the same time said: "There is news from Gaoling County that someone in the city has secretly contacted the officials and soldiers, plotting to open the city gate at night and introduce the officials and soldiers into the city. The traitor has already been decapitated. ”

Yang Liujun quickly unveiled his mask and took the pill, and after a moment of pranayama, he said: "Wei Xiuwen is really not to be underestimated, he is steady with his soldiers, and he uses deep risks, as long as he promises small profits, naturally some people plan to betray and escape." ”

"Our men have searched, that is, two hundred taels of silver bread, and bought four people." Bai Zhangqi frowned and said, "With these people's hands, you can't do anything at all." ”

Yang Liujun shook his head: "Wrong, Wei Xiuwen didn't expect to rely on this method to deceive the city gate, as long as someone tries to escape, it will naturally cause people's hearts to fluctuate." ”

Bai Zhangqi's expression was solemn, and he asked: "Now that the official army is strong, why does Yang Liujun take the risk of going to the battlefield in person?" ”

"I can't do it anymore." Yang Liujun shook the torn hem of his emerald green clothes: "Right now, in addition to the Huaiying Pavilion, there are also several pavilions in the front-line army. Fighting these incompetent mediocre people alone, I can kill them like piglets. But Wei Xiuwen never let them go out alone, but closely cooperated with the army. Each monk is supported by hundreds of soldiers on the left and right, and they mostly bless the soldiers with magic, and this kind of lineup is the most troublesome.

I rushed into battle several times, intending to directly attack and kill Wei Xiuwen, but those pavilion monks cast a spell to obstruct it, and then countless arrows slashed at the head and covered the face. I killed the No. 100 officer, and in the blink of an eye, a few swordsmen rushed out to entangle. Although my cultivation is not as good as mine, the edge of the sword qi should not be underestimated. And I was about to win, and there were other monks in the rear phalanx to restrain me, followed by another round of arrows and flying stones. ”

"Scatter the monks and hide them in the military formation, and use magic to contain and obstruct them at any time, and a few fierce swordsmen act as elites...... Wei Xiuwen is worthy of being a general who has experienced the Great War of the Five Kingdoms. Bai Zhangqi said.

Yang Liujun stretched his body: "Those guys in the Feilian Pavilion are really good at learning, they didn't use the wind knife to deal with me, but used the wind pressure to try to make me fall to the ground again and again, or to bless the bow and arrow against the wind." The arrows were so accurate that they almost stared at me, and I couldn't get enough of them. ”

"The people in Feilian Pavilion don't have this kind of brain, and at first glance, they are taught by Wei Xiuwen." Bai Zhangqi asked: "Does Yang Liujun plan to infiltrate the military camp to assassinate Wei Xiuwen?" ”

"It's hard." Yang Liujun patted his thigh and stood up: "I sensed that Wei Xiuwen had a treasure on him, unless I can guarantee that he will be killed with one blow." What's more, he is heavily guarded around him, and he is protected by a group of private soldiers at all times, all of whom are elite warriors, and I am not sure. ”

The white palm flag fell silent, he was not good at fighting, but was responsible for staring at the Gangfeng Post Banner to ensure that Chiyun was well-informed.

"Over there in Yanze City, is there any news from Fang Kui?" Yang Liujun asked.

"No, I didn't."

Yang Liujun sighed: "He was recognized." ”

"Why?" The white palm flag was puzzled.

"Previously, I found that the official army had no intention of attacking Gaoling and Changxia counties at all, and was still reinforcing the fortifications." Yang Liujun said: "I also talked to Ma Xi's four sons privately afterwards, which made me more sure that the two messages sent by Fang Kui before must have been wrong. Fang Kui didn't know that he was being recognized, but instead spread false military information for others, and the other party did it deliberately. ”

"Nafang Kui ......"

Yang Liujun waved his hand: "According to what I said before, don't contact him." Now we can't be distracted to save him. ”

At this point, Yang Liujun suddenly felt something, raised his head and said, "It's finally here." ”

Seeing this, the white palm flag asked, "Could it be the one who drew the sword?" ”

"I'll go to Yunyan Peak first." Yang Liujun left these words, and his figure soared into the sky, heading towards the peak of the mountain shrouded in mist.

……

Yang Liujun's whole body was really agitated, his sleeve robe was hunting, piercing through the thick clouds, looking at the sky and the sun. Yang Liujun opened the Gangfeng Prohibition outside Yunyan Peak, and saw two figures standing on the high cliff, walking slowly.

"What? Finally found the right one? Yang Liujun looked at the blue-robed man with a jade covering, the person beside him was not tall, he had not seen his true face, and his body under the heavy cloak was slightly thin, as if he could not bear the cold of the peak, and shivered slightly.

"That's right." The blue-robed man helped the short man and walked into the belly of Yunyan Peak, the warmth of the sword-forging furnace made the short man feel a little soothed, but he still had to hold on to the wall to breathe.

Yang Liujun asked, "Are you sure this person can really control the Divine Sword?" ”

"The Jade Ding Liuxia Chapter that you cultivated is the best qi practice method of Yunyan Peak." The blue-robed man said: "It's a pity that you are only used for killing and conquest, and you can't fully understand the mysteries, and recasting the hundred veins is one of the wonderful uses." ”

Yang Liujun shrugged: "Who told me to find the magic trick from the corpse?" I had to practice blindly. ”

The blue-robed man had no intention of laughing, and asked the short man, "Can you still persevere?" ”

The short man didn't answer, turned his head to look at the Excalibur stuck in the fire, as if he had used all his strength to stand up, and walked towards Excalibur step by step.

And the originally silent divine sword suddenly resonated to itself, and the sword qi spread for no reason, echoing throughout the mountain.

Yang Liujun was shocked to feel that there was a sword qi attacking him, he hurriedly avoided it, his sleeve robe was directly twisted into pieces, he instinctively wanted to deal with it, and his true qi instantly condensed into a barrier, barely blocking a few sword qis, but he was continuously pierced through the barrier by the continuous sharp sword qi!

However, the blue-robed man stood still, and his sword qi never approached within three feet of him.

"Don't have murderous intent." The voice of the blue-robed man came: "The divine sword has a spirit, and it chooses its master." If someone nearby has murderous intent, they will send out sword qi to block it. ”

Yang Liujun didn't have time to respond, and the sword qi of his body became stronger and stronger, and it was difficult to resist with his cultivation, so he could only retreat in a hurry. Seeing that the sword qi was heavy, he put an end to the way ahead, and even forced him out of the way.

Yang Liujun was also surprised when he was angry, he saw the short man approaching the Divine Sword without hindrance, and at the last moment when he was forced out of the mountainside, the man held the Divine Sword, and suddenly emitted a dazzling light, as bright as day, and could not be forced to look at.
