Chapter 56: One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Armies
Zhao Xiao was bored in his heart, left Jiang Ru, and came to the open place alone in a daze.
"It's rare for you to be so angry." Ling Xiao said: "What Jiang Ru said before is not unreasonable, the practice of science and rituals, summoning the soul, should be upright and impartial. The souls of the dead who remain in the world are full of resentment, and if they are tainted by them, they will give birth to all kinds of violent and disgusting thoughts, which will only make the Dao heart dusty and not quiet. ”
"I understand, it's just that I can't control it all of a sudden." Zhao Xiao rubbed his face, if it wasn't for Ling Xiao to drink it in time, he estimated that he would really kill Jiang Ru on the spot, and now that he thinks about it, he feels afraid.
"You are not a thoughtless piece of wood and stone, there are always seven emotions entangled." Lingxiao said.
Zhao Yan said: "I'm just ...... I feel like I can't do anything. Last night, the village woman, I let her in, I didn't let in, I didn't go in. If she had entered the house, she might have been able to get a few more buckets of rice so that her family could survive the difficult season, but her reputation would have been ruined, and this kind of thing can happen countless times at a time. If she is not allowed to enter the house, I am afraid that she will be beaten and scolded by her father-in-law when she goes back. ”
"You're thinking too much." Ling Xiao reminded: "They are just a passing guest to you, and you are the same to them. The joys and sorrows of the villagers here, you can't see them all. ”
Zhao Xiao was silent for a long time, and his chest was depressed. He suddenly felt something, looked into the distance, and saw that the village woman carried two buckets of water to the edge of the field last night, and worked hard like other farmers, and did not notice Zhao Xiao at all.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiao muttered: "Yes, I think I can understand their hardships, but in fact, people work at sunrise and earn every day, and don't they still work in the field when their husbands die?" They have to do their best to make ends meet, and they don't have time to worry about anything else, which is my hypocrisy. ”
"Having clothes and food is just as important to mortals in ancient times as it is today." Lingxiao said: "From ancient times to the present, all kinds of achievements are the achievements of the world's labor, but some people get it without hard work, and some people work without success, and the injustice in the world often arises here, and the suffering in the world comes from this." ”
Zhao Xiao was greatly inspired when he heard this: "Not bad. But how can I reverse all the injustices in the world alone? ”
"If you have a heart, do what you can, don't be ambitious." Ling Xiao said, "There are some things that cannot be accomplished by one person at a time or in one place. ”
Zhao Xiao nodded silently, and then raised his hand to look: "I almost forgot, just now I feel that my strength has doubled, what is going on?" ”
"The Hidden Text of the Divine Tiger was created with reference to the true form and charm of the white-fronted Gong, in addition to the ability to control demons and evils, it also has the powerful blessing of the gods." Ling Xiao explained: "You have recently cultivated a little bit of progress, and it is not uncommon for you to comprehend by chance. ”
"Mighty?"
Ling Xiao said: "The white-fronted Gongyuan is very strong, and his muscles and bones are comparable to those of a dragon in the water. Even if he changes his body, the white-fronted male can throw a rhino elephant and knead iron like clay. When I created the "Divine Tiger Hidden Text", I thought that if the descendants who practiced this method encountered fierce and demonic hand-to-hand combat, they would not have time to pinch the mantra and wrestle with it. ”
"That's right." Zhao Xiao said: "I have faced those veterans of a hundred battles several times before, and I was attacked with knives and guns unguarded, and I didn't have time to hide. ”
"It's just that it's not enough to have power and strength, your martial arts are shallow, and it is impossible to rely on this method to fight with people." Ling Xiao said.
Zhao Xiao smiled: "You can really boast, where am I shallow in martial arts, swords, guns, bows and arrows are not the same, and I am lucky not to cut myself with a sword." The teacher said that I am not a martial arts practitioner, and I can only rely on recruiting troops and horses to meet the enemy. ”
"But Tie Gong instructed you to refine the Tiger Talisman before, but you didn't make any progress." Lingxiao said.
Zhao Xiao took out the wrong golden tiger talisman from his arms, in fact, he tried to refine this thing with the true form of the divine tiger whenever he had free time these days. However, this Yin Tiger Order is not like the Covenant Ring, no matter how Zhao Xiao acts to spread his true qi and hook his moves, it is still like iron and stone, and there is no change at all.
"I guess my cultivation is not enough." Zhao Xiao said: "The method of sacrifice and refining mentioned by Tie Gong is actually similar to the technique of cutting paper to turn into a human and tying grass into a horse, temporarily turning dead things into living things. But the paper man and the grass horse can only bluff ordinary people, and they can't withstand destruction at all, and they can't be used to fight.
If you want to make Yinhu Ling become a tiger that is alive and agile and as solid as iron and stone, I am afraid that it will take a long time of sacrifice. It's only been a few months, and it's not uncommon for no progress to occur. And I can't decipher the wrong golden ancient seal on the tiger talisman, there may be clues in it. After the crackdown is over, I plan to go back to the Huaiying Pavilion to flip through the books. ”
Zhao Huang thought that the twelve earth branch orders themselves were made by the Tianxia Dynasty, and it was not good to know the description of this order in the collection of Chongxuan Pavilion, but unfortunately Zhao Huang could not enter the Chongxuan Pavilion.
Ten days later, the county government officials escorted a batch of grain and rice, and Zhao Xiao hurriedly gathered the villagers and divided the grain and rice in public. The villagers thanked him one after another, hoping that Zhao Xiao would stay as a guest, but Zhao Xiao still resigned on the grounds that he was busy with official business.
In the carriage, Jiang Ru no longer scratched her head as she used to, leaning against the corner and being silent.
"I'm sorry, I was out of shape before." Zhao Xiao thought about it, and still said: "It's my sin to offend Miss Jiang, please forgive me." ”
Jiang Ru raised his eyes slightly: "Zhao Fu doesn't have to be like this, I'm used to it." ”
Zhao Xiao asked: "Liang Shuo used to do the same to you?" ”
"Pretty much." Jiang Ru changed her relaxed posture: "You don't know that these children of high-born families have been pampered for a long time and indulged arbitrarily. Liang Shuo is already considered to be well-educated, and he rarely beats and scolds his subordinates. Before the crowning ceremony, some of the Liang children enlarged the bellies of several handmaids, turned their heads and sank them into the well and drowned. ”
Zhao Xiao frowned: "Shouldn't immortal cultivators be concerned about sexual affairs?" So wasted at a young age? ”
"Do you think there are still a few of the younger generations of the Yongjia Liang clan who are focused on cultivation?" Jiang Ru sneered.
"With the Qingya True Monarch Zhuyu in front, the mana of the first seat of Liang reaches to the sky, even if you don't say that it is too far away to live for a long time and lift the glow to soar, don't they want the power of magic?" Zhao Xiao was puzzled.
Jiang Ru sighed: "Maybe it's just that I have seen too much since I was a child, but I won't cherish it." What's more, to really be able to cast spells, it takes years of cultivation and hard practice, not everyone has this kind of patience and qualification, and most people can't persist after a long time and no achievements. What's more, the environment of Yongjia Liang's family, no matter how bad it is, it is worry-free about food and clothing, so why bother to learn from the camp and make progress? ”
"I originally thought that it was precisely because of my wealthy family and worry-free food and clothing that I would devote myself to cultivation." Zhao Xiao said.
Jiang Ru smiled helplessly: "Zhao Fu, people like you are becoming more and more rare nowadays." The ancestor of my Jiang family is a heavenly fox, and I know that in the past, the Xuanmen Immortal Dao flourished, and the wind of cultivating immortals and learning the Tao spread all over Kunlun Continent. But now, it would be good to be able to barely keep the things handed down by the ancestors and sages. ”
Zhao Xiao said: "The so-called Xuanmen Immortal Dao is prosperous, but it cannot make the general public become immortals. After all, cultivation is the selfish achievement of a very small number of people. ”
"Zhao Fu is really strict." Jiang Ru sighed, feeling that the person in front of her was really weird.
……
Yang Liujun stood at the head of Gaoling County, looking at the huge military formation slowly approaching in the distance, and he was not panicked and nervous at all.
"The ironclad chariot base is marching forward, it seems that this is to learn a lesson, and I am worried that I will rush into battle and kill." Yang Liujun said with a smile.
Sang Huazi next to him held a talisman fan and said: "This ironclad fortress is not too high, and it can't stop Yang Liujun at all." ”
"Hehe, you can't stop me, but you can stop other ordinary soldiers." Yang Liujun said: "Wei Xiuwen is deliberately leading me out of the city, if I break into that fortress formation, there will definitely be countless arrows and spells waiting for me." This is a formation used to deal with monks, once you and I are caught inside, it is difficult to jump out, and ordinary soldiers and horses are blocked by the fortress formation, unable to help you and me break through. ”
Sang Huazi asked, "But what if we don't go out of the city?" ”
"Then Wei Xiuwen can attack the city with peace of mind." Yang Liujun pointed to the flying stone cart and ladder cart behind the fortress formation: "Gaoling County can't talk about deep ditches and thick walls, and it is not difficult to attack. They have complete armor, and the enemy and our soldiers are entangled in fighting together, and they have a greater advantage. ”
Sang Huazi shook his head and said: "Our troops are weak, and it is difficult to continue to hold the city. ”
"So you still have to go out of the city and assault." Yang Liujun said: "Wei Xiuwen must be severely damaged under the city. ”
"Please give an order to Yang Liujun." Sang Huazi hugged his fists.
"I've already arranged it over there in Dongzhang." Yang Liujun turned his head and said, "You come to guard the city wall, and I will take six people to form a spark and burn the field formation, and go directly out of the city." ”
Sang Huazi's face changed slightly, but he still agreed.
"Everyone, follow me out of the city and kill the enemy!"
Yang Liujun raised his voice and shouted, jumped out of the city wall, followed by six Chiyundu monks, wearing ochre red armor, each holding a blade magic weapon, chanting words in his mouth, and in an instant, the fire disc swirled and roared, protecting the seven people, looking like a huge fireball from a distance, rushing straight to the army outside the city.
General Wei saw the fireball flying, raised his hand to the side, and immediately called the camp, the chariot base formation immediately stopped, and the monks in the scattered formation chanted a mantra in unison, and the white golden light of the golden armor technique stretched like a tide, and then hundreds of archers raised their bows one after another.
Before the arrow could leave the string, the monk of the Descending True Pavilion beckoned the blue flag, and there was a dragon phantom hovering in the sky above the military formation, turning into a cold frost and crashing head-on into a fireball.
There were several rumblings, ice and fire were intertwined, white gas was steaming, and the archers in the formation were shooting at the same time.
But just listening to the howling wind, the white gas was divided, the arrow was swept upside down and fell to the ground, Yang Liujun and the six Chiyun Du monks stepped on the fire cloud, unscathed.
The arrow landed, and the military formation below changed again, the monks of the Feilian Pavilion had already prepared, and the flowing wind swirled to protect the soldiers, and the few female cultivators of the Mingxia Pavilion raised the Fei Aya, turning into a dense glow to try to seal the retreat of the monks of Chiyundu.
Yang Liujun led everyone to gallop to avoid, his big sleeves were bulging, his true qi was gathered, and the Chiyundu monk in the back sacrificed the magic weapon, and with the transformation of the formation, a ball of Chiming thunder fire gradually formed between Yang Liujun's palms.
"How can I make you do it all?!"
With a loud shout in the array, Luo Xixian jumped up, flying in the air, and the cold light of the sword qi shot directly at Yang Liujun.
Immediately, another Chiyundu monk stepped forward, and more than ten charms were connected to form a curtain, barely blocking the seventy percent of the edge, and used his body to resist the remaining sword qi, and blood immediately gushed out.
Yang Liujun's feats were complete, and the red thunder fire in his hand pushed outward, scattering hundreds of red electric snakes in the sky above the adjacent military formation, violently bursting in all directions, and immediately exploding out of flying flesh and blood, countless screams, overlooking from the sky, there was an obvious gap in the military formation.
"Presumptuous!"
Luo Xixian shouted angrily and swung his sword, the overlapping sword aura was dizzying, and immediately a Chiyun Du monk was cut into several pieces.
"Little Devil Luo!"
Yang Liujun was splashed with the blood of his colleagues, although he couldn't see the expression under the mask, his warm voice became hoarse and ugly, and his backhand was pressed down by a huge palm print.
Luo Xixian's sword momentum turned, and the sword qi lingered like a whirlpool, dissolving most of the power of the palm print, and when it landed, the surrounding soldiers staggered and fell, but fortunately it did not cause huge damage.
"Put!"
General Wei gave an order, and the twelve ballistae hidden in the rear formation lifted the tarpaulin, and the spear-like crossbow bolts accompanied the sound of the machine, breaking through the wind and screaming, leaving twelve flames in mid-air, shooting directly into the mid-air Chiyundu monks.
The power of this crossbow arrow was amazing, and even with the support of the formation, three monks were pierced through the body by the crossbow arrow on the spot and fell downward.
And this time, Yang Liujun can't support his fellow Daoists, there are three crossbow arrows in front of him, if he doesn't react in time, Xingbu Zhenqi turns into a barrier, I'm afraid he will also be hit hard.
Yang Liujun fixed his eyes and saw that the crossbow arrows were simply spears, with Zhu Wen runes and spiritual light flowing on the spearheads, and at first glance they were specially used to deal with monks. Raising his eyes again, it was not an ordinary soldier who was wielding the ballista, but several Huaiying Pavilion monks, who relied on identifying qi machines to lock themselves.
Wei Xiuwen had another strategy this time, Yang Liujun was furious in his heart, fortunately he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a swift light cavalry suddenly attacked the imperial court officials and troops from the flank.
The monks of the pavilion were pinned down and concentrated by Yang Liujun and his gang, and the flank defense was much looser, General Wei frowned, waved his hand, and hundreds of elite cavalry prepared in advance supported the flank, trying his best to stabilize the front.
And in the direction of the Chinese army, after a round of ballistas, the monks of the pavilion made another move, and several monks of the Zhenzhen Pavilion chanted a spell around the pottery urn, and a black wind flew out of it, turning into several iron cables with charms, like a giant python to entangle Yang Liujun.
"White urn lock demon method?" Yang Liujun's body was pulled out, protecting the remaining fellow Daoists and retreating, the ten fingers of both hands were combined into a knife technique, and the true qi condensed into a finger heavenly divine knife, slashing downward.
The divine knife and the iron rope were exchanged, but there was no earth-shattering stirring, and the chain of the demon rattled and actually entangled the divine knife and dragged it into the pottery urn in one fell swoop.
Yang Liujun only felt that his true qi was stagnant, and the monks of the Feilian Pavilion below seized the opportunity, and the wind knife counterattacked, and hundreds of arrows were ready to kill Yang Liujun in front of the formation!
Seeing that the thief was about to be beheaded, a majestic sword aura came from the head of Gaoling County, covering the sky and the earth, directly sweeping away the rain of wind, swords, and arrows.
The sword qi crossed, and the armor-like fortress array was easily torn apart, and thousands of soldiers in the front row were shattered. The wind and clouds were turbulent, and the rest of the soldiers fell down like reeds in the wind. More than half of the banners in the army were broken, and the Chinese army was even more crushed by the sword qi!
After the strong wind, General Wei fell with a red tassel on the top of his waist, his expression was stiff, and the army was silent, but he saw a person standing on the tower of Gaoling County, holding a divine sword, shining.
