The magic sword with a line of green light, steadily fell on the table, in the eyes of Ying Xuanzhaojingshu, there was a soldier standing on the sword to bow to Zhao Huang, and then returned to the altar outside the place to take place, waiting for the order.

"Xingfu Edgeworth is not a real flying sword after all." Zhao Xiao sighed secretly, and with the help of the soldiers to sense the direction of Dantu County, he could see that Shero Xiao, who was flying out of the city, took the initiative to retreat, and did not continue to pursue the grain ship.

"Captain Chen, you lead a group of light cavalry to pick up the ships leaving the city." Zhao Xiao looked at the side of the mandala and ordered: "After rescuing the people, bring them, I will interrogate." ”

"Order!" Captain Chen got on his horse and left.

Zhao Xiao also said to the baggage officer: "After the grain ship docks, we will camp along the river, and you will first bring the baggage carts and horses over and set up walls and trenches." ”

After the order was completed, Zhao Huang ordered the army to continue to march slowly towards the county seat of Dantu, while he himself stood on the altar and waited for the soldiers to send back the news.

This time to march into Dantu County, Zhao Huang did not rush to attack the city, but first summoned soldiers to reconnoiter the situation in the city.

Thanks to the soldiers and horses of Jiuli Kingdom after entering the city, they plundered and killed repeatedly, and the people in Dantu County were frightened into fleeing in a few days, but because the soldiers and horses strictly guarded the city gate, they could not get out for a while.

And Zhao Xiao was halfway through the march, and secretly contacted the second brother Yu through Lieutenant Zhang, and knew that there were several veterans in Dantu County who had private dealings with Chiyundu.

Zhao Huang summoned the soldiers, found these veterans, and passed on the word, and asked Yuan Wujiao to use the underground water veins to contact the other party in person through the wells and canals in the city.

Zhao Huang originally just wanted to know about the strength of the Jiuli State in Dantu County, but when he learned that the veteran wanted to escape from the city with his relatives and friends, Zhao Huang took advantage of the situation and arranged for them to attack and kill the guards of the Water Gate and deceive the grain ships.

But saving people is still secondary, and Zhao Xiao's move is mainly to lead out the Wuzhu of Jiuli Kingdom in the city. Zhao Huang ascended to the altar to practice the law, and the army covered up the killing, maybe he could wait for an opportunity to eliminate them.

It's a pity that Shera still didn't care about chasing the fleeing people, or fearing Zhao Xiao's spells, or sensing that the army was approaching, and immediately retreated into the city.

"First of all, the flying sword cut the shape, and while he was not prepared, he sent a thunder arrow, but this can't knock him down, and his ability is not shallow." Zhao Xiao pressed the token in his hand, and couldn't help but think about it.

The flying sword is Zhao Xiao's recent busy leisure, using a charm to refine a magic sword, hiding it in the box, and summoning soldiers to wartime, urging the magic sword to fly more than ten miles away, intending to directly take the head of the enemy army.

However, the sharpness of this hastily cultivated magic sword was insufficient, and it was almost taken away by the opponent's divine light forbidden, but fortunately, the real killing move was the subsequent thunder and arrow.

The power of the thunder and arrows is great, but it is better than to punish the demons and bombard the evil temple, even if Zhao Huang personally ascends the altar to summon the thunder, he also needs to lock the demon atmosphere in advance, otherwise there is no target.

And in the face of the swift and hidden people, the thunder and arrows may not be able to hit with one blow. If the opponent's qi is not yin and evil, the power of the thunder and arrow will also be greatly reduced.

Although Zhao Xiao didn't know the identity and magic foundation of Shera Xiao, he vaguely sensed that the other party had a divine power on his body, and the thunder arrow hit like a boot tickling, and it was difficult to shake the opponent's roots.

"I heard that the various tribes of Jiuli Kingdom believe in different gods, among which Wu Zhu entertains the gods with dance and music, and worships the gods with blood and food, and the gods give them divine power. Even if there is no immortality and ascension achievement, the power of its magic cannot be underestimated. Zhao Huang asked Qi Lingxiao: "In ancient times, there should be more witch and blessings, right?" Do you know what's going on? ”

"Mountains, rivers, plants and trees nurture all souls, and it has always been the same. In ancient times, people and gods were mixed, and in the eyes of later generations, most gods were just spirits with occasional mana, and they were hindered by the ignorance of mortals and enjoyed offerings. The spirit flute said:

"As for those who can give divine power, they will be the work of years and have their own pattern. If the Duke of Hengbi is regarded as the official who guards the place, then these gods are regarded as the kings of the aliens. The tribe is its people, and they worship the gods devoutly, and the witch is their minister, and they can be given divine power to act as an agent of secular affairs. ”

Zhao Xiao heard this: "Isn't this the set of awards? The immortal family really taught the disciples the Dharma urn, so that they were supported by the immortal generals, and the disciples became enlightened and ascended to the cave and ranked in the immortal class. ”

"Nonsense!" Ling Xiao said coldly: "The immortal family teaches the Dharma to teach the law, that is to help people learn the Tao and guide the cultivation of immortals, have you ever asked the disciples for blood food sacrifice?" ”

Zhao Xiao was puzzled: "But as far as I know, those immortal family inheritances are also incense all year round, even in the Chongxuan Pavilion, they still enshrine the tablet of Qingya Zhenjun." ”

"Ghosts and gods attach to the altar seat to nourish the soul with faith, but the faith of incense is the most filthy and unsightly!" Ling Xiao said bluntly: "You are also proficient in Shinto, and you should know most of what mortals think in their hearts when they worship the gods and pray and pray. ”

Zhao Xiao nodded slightly: "Ordinary people kneel and beg the gods, and their minds are different, but they can be satisfied by doing whatever they want." Fame, fortune, power, beauty, and heirs, most of them are like this. There are also some people who have evil thoughts in their hearts, who intend to curse, and many other unspeakable things, who can pour out in front of the gods. ”

Zhao Xiao was raised by his grandfather Zhao Wei in his childhood, when the Tianxia Dynasty had long since perished, and his grandfather, as the descendant of the praise official, was only the temple keeper of a local shrine, relying on doing things for people to subsidize the family, while ensuring that the surroundings were not violated by demons.

At that time, the war was raging, and there were many believers who came to the shrine to pray and ask for charms, and some of them asked Zhao Huang's grandfather for the matter of the town, so as to curse someone for an early death, but his grandfather politely refused.

Zhao Xiao didn't understand these things when he was a child, and in retrospect, when people prayed and prayed, they didn't necessarily have good intentions.

Ling Xiao continued: "The descendants of the Immortal Family may have respect and respect, but that is just a superficial move. If you want to go to the immortal truth, the best way is to practice wholeheartedly, understand the immortal law, and study the metaphysics. The patriarch thus attained the Tao, and if the disciple can participate in the immortal scriptures, he will naturally be of the same heart as the immortal patriarch. ”

Zhao Xiao said helplessly: "When the cultivation realm reaches this level, it doesn't matter what kind of talisman generals there are. ”

"If you have to say that the ancestor of the immortal family has something to ask for, it is nothing more than that the disciples and descendants are sincere in their dedication to the Tao and cultivate the truth, the Xuanmen is wide, and the avenue is promoted, which is not much better than the faith of good and evil mixed and full of vulgar feelings?" Lingxiao said.

"But the blessing of the divine power on the body of the Jiuli Kingdom Witch Zhu just now can't be underestimated." Zhao Xiao said: "And I noticed that his physique was particularly vigorous, and the blow of the flying sword made his blood burst out, and even the soldiers who were living in the magic sword were almost forced away." ”

"It is not surprising that the body has been tempered by divine power for a long time, and the body is therefore extraordinary." Ling Xiao said.

"I've heard you say before that the Immortal Family can also turn mortals into Cave Heaven Immortal Officials, could it be that it is also a similar method?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Lingxiao said: "Of course it is different. Dongtian is the development of the immortal family, and if you want to become an immortal official, the Dao base must be in harmony with the law of the cave. Even if a mortal ascends to the cave sky, it is by no means arbitrary.

The mortal body is stagnant, and it is necessary to dissolve the body and shed the dust shell, and this is secondary. Mortals' souls are scattered and ignorant, and without practice, if they rashly ascend to the cave sky, I am afraid that their souls will be scattered immediately. ”

Zhao Xiao roughly understood: "It seems that only the descendants of the disciples who have obtained the inheritance of the Immortal Family are suitable for being enlightened and ascending to the Cave Heaven." ”

"This is nature, is it possible that any fox and mouse can fly with it?"

"Don't talk about ascension." Zhao Xiao pulled the topic back: "The Thunder Arrow Demon is the most powerful spell I have at the moment, but it still needs to rely on the blessing of the mandala to fully perform it." Now this hand is not enough to deal with the Wuzhu of the Jiuli Kingdom, what restraint do you have? ”

"That man was struck by you and retreated, so it can be seen that he is still afraid, and you have come with a large army, why should you find any way to restrain him? Let the monks under his command rush up and besiege it together, and he will still die without a place to be buried. There seemed to be dissatisfaction in Ling Xiao's words.

Zhao Xiao also heard it, so he had to say: "If you can make the soldiers suffer fewer casualties, it is naturally the best." That Wu Zhu is also an important figure in the enemy army, if he can be killed, the morale of the enemy army will collapse without a fight, and the follow-up will be much easier. ”

"This is also the case with the enemy army, if you can be killed in public, the thousands of soldiers and horses you brought will still be crushed at the touch of a button." Ling Xiao said: "You have put yourself in an indispensable situation, destined to win and not defeat. ”

Zhao Xiao was speechless for a while, but it was not easy to refute Ling Xiao's words. He doesn't really feel indispensable, he just wants to do what he can to get things done. The compliments and appreciation of others reminded Zhao Huang of all kinds of powerlessness.

But Lingxiao still gave a solution: "Wu Zhu relies on the gods, and the gods absorb the trust of all beings, and it is not easy to restrain them, but they can fight with similar principles." ”

"Similarity? Could it be that he summoned the ghosts and gods who were full of the power of incense? But in the battle on the banks of the Cangshui River, these guys were all killed by Liang Tao. Zhao Xiao shook his head: "And these obscene ghosts and gods, where can they be compared with the gods who have been entrenched in the mountains and rivers of Nantu for a long time?" ”

"The so-called credibility is nothing more than the desire and concentration of the world." Ling Xiao said: "If you can gather the minds of sentient beings and turn them into magic skills, it is not difficult to kill the gods and witches. ”

"The minds of all beings?" Zhao Xiao raised his eyes in the direction of Dantu County, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "This kind of thing is extremely difficult to grasp, and I am not the god of the earth and the mountain who is in charge of the party, how can I gather the thoughts of all living beings?" ”

Ling Xiao said: "The minds of sentient beings are so complex that it is indeed difficult to grasp, but it is still possible to do it if the sword goes off the edge and is paranoid. It's hard to say about the situation elsewhere, but on the battlefield, the intent to fight, the intent to kill, and the ferocious spirit are naturally indispensable. ”

Zhao Xiao immediately understood: "You mean, treat the officers and soldiers in the army as soldiers of the altar, and let their fighting spirit and morale gather?" This method, this method is not impossible to try! ”

Lingxiao was silent for a moment, and then said, "I didn't explain it, you thought of it yourself." Could it be that the Tianxia Dynasty Praise Officer also has this kind of ritual ritual? ”

"That's not true, but I've seen a similar statement in an "Unfinished Miscellaneous Record", trying to capture the evil spirit of the battlefield and form a god general, all kinds of battle array martial arts are proficient, and it is dedicated to breaking the army and killing generals on the battlefield." Zhao said: "But this method is too complicated and profound, and its predecessors have not completed it. But I don't have to follow suit, I just need to take the fierce aura, even if it turns it into the shape of a sword, an axe, a sword, and a halberd! ”

Zhao Xiao suddenly became interested, and was about to try it immediately, but he found that Ling Xiao did not respond for a long time, and asked with a little worry: "What?" Am I not doing this properly? ”

"If it's not right, it's that the time to practice the Dharma is unpredictable." Lingxiao said: "The gods enjoy the nourishment of faith, and if they receive all the good and evil regardless of right and wrong, they will still shake the root of the spirit, make their temperament biased, and gradually become infected and become evil gods who seek good fortune and misfortune." And you are not a god, you are still on the battlefield, and if you are not careful, the consequences are unpredictable. ”

"I ...... Try to be careful. Zhao Yan said: "If there is another way, I will naturally not deliberately take risks." ”

……

"Gong Xiao? This ......"

Fei Zosheng's face was very ugly when he saw Sheroo flying to the ground, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, lest he anger this fierce person.

"It should be Zhao Huang, the Marquis of Zhenming of Huaxu Kingdom, who personally led the troops." Seeing that Miao Suluo, Meng Qu and others had also arrived one after another, Shera Xiao said with a straight face: "I fought with him just now, and I noticed that the other party could also use spells to attack from a very long distance, which was very difficult to deal with. ”

"I heard that this Marquis Zhenming is proficient in rituals and rituals, and there is some similarity with the rituals of the Ten Witches." The Great Witch of Wuteng Village glanced at Miao Suoluo: "Even the Gu Lady of the Hundred Flowers Valley didn't find out that the other party was coming, so it can be seen that the enemy army is at least ten miles away." ”

Miao Suo Luo smiled like a flower: "No way, who told me to be low?" ”

"But there are a lot of things to pay attention to when you want to go to the altar and practice the law." The Great Witch of Wutengzhai sneered: "The altar cannot be moved lightly, otherwise the Dharma will go wrong, and the person who practices the Dharma will also suffer." ”

Hearing this, Meng Qu immediately asked, "Where is he now?" We directly led the troops to kill him and lifted his altar! ”

"Not to mention that there must be heavy troops around the altar, the current situation is that people are eyeing us!" The Great Witch of Wuteng Village said: "If you rush out of the city, the other party's thunder can kill you." ”

"Not necessarily." Miao Suluo smiled on the side: "Our white fang, Xiao Gong, has resisted a thunderstorm and is still unscathed, so naturally he is not afraid of that Zhenming Marquis." ”

Sherro Xiao was not deceived by these words, he didn't show it on his face, but in fact, he was still secretly shocked by the thunder that Zhao Xiao had just descended, if it weren't for his divine power to protect him, he would have been knocked into the dust.

"When will the Blood Vine Covering the Sky Array be set up?" Sherro Xiao looked at the Wuteng Village Witch.

The other party glared at Meng Qu: "How can it be so fast?" Without the vitality of the fetus, it is difficult for the vine to sprout. ”

"Capture all the pregnant women in the city...... And the baby, the Blood Sacrifice Vine King! Sherroxiao ordered to Fei Zosheng.

"Gong Xiao." Fei Zuosheng was a little difficult to accept: "We finally seized Dantu County, and now the foundation is still unstable, so I am afraid that we will arrest pregnant women rashly...... I am afraid that it will cause confusion in people's minds, which is not conducive to long-term warfare. ”

"This is a small sacrifice for the great cause of Jiuli Kingdom, how can it be enough?" Sherro Xiao was dissatisfied: "You do this as soon as possible, the enemy army is already approaching Dantu County." If you lose this battle, I'll be the first to cut you! ”

After saying this, Sheroro and the group of Witch Blessing Gu Masters left one after another, leaving Fei Zuosheng to stay where he was with a sluggish expression.
