The sword light was like rain, the sound of the piano was like waves, overlapping and force, and the ground suddenly sank three feet before the military formation, and the white fang-like beast shape of Shera Xiao was instantly wrenched into slag.

I could only hear the riot in the smoke and dust, a roar shook the heavens and the earth, and the divine power penetrated through the universe, giving the body of Shera Xiao and forcing away the sound of the sword light and piano.

The turmoil has not stopped, and with the support of the divine light, he lifted his body in one fell swoop and retreated hurriedly towards the county seat of Dantu.

Where could Zhao Huang allow him to escape back to the city? Ignoring the restlessness of the true qi in his body, he forcibly urged the thunder and arrows, intending to eliminate the enemy.

But when he raised the token, he suddenly felt a huge divine power invading the mandala. It was as if a pair of indifferent eyes were looking from afar from the south, and the altar barrier was like a giant mountain falling, It collapsed in an instant, and a group of soldiers were shaken to pieces.

The mandala was disturbed, the practice was interrupted, Zhao Huang was suddenly impacted, the true qi in his body suddenly became chaotic, the light and shadow in front of him flashed, the ears were sharply pierced, and blood spurted out from his mouth, spilling blood on the Dharma table in front of him, and he raised his head and fell off the altar.

This frightened everyone nearby, Lu Wangji was the first to fly and fall, and immediately helped Zhao Xiao up, seeing that his mouth and nose were covered with blood, and his limbs twitched slightly.

"Collect, collect." Zhao Huang endured the pain of the impact of his true qi on the hundred veins, looked at the crowd that was crowded, raised a trace of strength, and fainted after saying this.

After receiving the order, the lieutenant under his command immediately signaled Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and the army covered each other and slowly withdrew to the riverside camp.

……

"What's going on? Why the sudden withdrawal of troops?! ”

Ding Muqiu hurried back to the camp, angry, and was about to go straight into the big tent, but was stopped by He Dangguan and a group of personal soldiers: "Zhao Changshi suddenly fell ill, and asked the immortal chief not to disturb him." ”

"Sick? Are you kidding? Ding Muqiu waved his hand and raised the purple silk, easily forced He Dangguan and the others away, broke into the big tent, and asked again and again: "What's wrong with Zhenming Hou?" ”

"Quiet." The heron forgot to press the strings and drank softly.

Ding Muqiu saw that the other party was wearing a hat and did not show his true face, he had occasionally seen this person in Pujiaguan, but the other party never talked much about him, and I heard that she was a master of casual cultivation recruited by Zhao Xiao.

"How's the condition of Marquis Zhenming?" Ding Muqiu looked at Zhao Xiao, who was sick and bedridden on the marching couch.

"The qi in his body is in chaos, and it is difficult to adjust it for a while." Lu Wangji said: "I have played the piano for him, suppressed the restless true qi, so that he can concentrate a little. ”

"It was good before, how could it suddenly be like this?" Ding Muqiu was puzzled.

Lu Wangji said: "I sensed that there was an external force invading the altar. The practice of ascending the altar is the most taboo to be disturbed by external forces, and the Marquis of Zhenming may have been injured because of this. ”

Liang Hui also entered the tent and said, "I'll take the pulse of Marquis Zhenming." ”

Unexpectedly, Lu forgot to take a look at Yaoqin and stopped him: "No need, others should not approach Zhenming Hou." ”

Liang Hui was stunned for a moment and explained: "Marquis Zhenming is now the commander in the army, and the success or failure of the war depends on him, how can he not be regulated?" ”

"I don't believe you." Lu Wangji said bluntly, which made Liang Hui's face immediately become ugly.

"Do you want to make Zhao Xiao's injuries difficult to treat?" Ding Muqiu asked: "We almost killed that Jiuli Wuzhu just now, if we hadn't suddenly withdrawn our troops, we would have attacked Dantu County by now!" ”

Lu Wangji said: "It is the order of the Marquis of Zhenming to collect the troops. ”

"Who knows if you're giving a false military order?" Ding Muqiu bluntly scolded: "And didn't Marquis Zhenming ask you to assist in guarding Pujia Pass?" How did you suddenly come here? ”

"It was he who sent a message to let me come to Dantu County to help." Egret took out the letter from his sleeve.

Ding Muqiu snatched it and glanced at it a few times to confirm that it was correct, but the eyes that looked at Lu Wangji still couldn't help but question.

"No matter what, rescuing the Marquis of Zhen Ming is the number one priority at the moment!" Liang Hui said eagerly: "Marquis Zhenming can't afford to be seriously injured, it will shake the morale of the army, if the barbarians of Jiuli Kingdom know about this, I'm afraid they will go out of the city and attack the camp!" ”

Lu Wangji was silent for a moment, and just as she was thinking, Zhao Xiao's voice came from the side: "You guys...... It's noisy. ”

Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and gathered around Zhao Xiao's couch, seeing that he was pale and obviously seriously injured.

"How are you feeling?" Heron asked.

"I ...... You get out of the way, I'm not angry. Zhao Huang shook his fingers, now he even struggled to sit up, the hundreds of veins in his body were like a thousand knives, his whole body was painful and numb, and the slightest movement involved it, which made people feel painful.

Several monks took half a step back, and Ding Muqiu couldn't help but ask, "Marquis Zhenming, why did you suddenly get injured?" Who is invading the altar? ”

"The god of Jiuli Wuzhu." Zhao Xiao spoke weakly: "At that time, that witch Zhu called for divine power to give it, and the altar was disturbed, how could I not be hurt?" ”

"With such divine power, the gods worshiped by evil witches are extraordinary." Liang Hui frowned and said.

"So what now?" Ding Muqiu asked.

Zhao Xiao glanced at the tent, except for Lu Wangji and these monks, no one else was present.

"Gather all the captains and officers into the account." Zhao Xiao also obeyed, these monks are either young masters and young ladies who don't know how to take care of people at all, or they are outsiders like Lu Wangji, who have a weak temperament, and they are in such a miserable state that they don't even have a person to hand over a glass of water.

A group of captains and military officials rushed in with eagerness on their faces, and knelt down in front of Zhao Xiao's couch.

"I'm in such a situation that I'm afraid it's hard to preside over the war in a hurry." Zhao Xiao just lay down and spoke, and felt a sharp pain like a thousand needles in his chest, but he still insisted: "I was in a hurry to collect the troops before, and there was suspicion in Dantu County, and I will definitely use various means to test it later." For this reason, the camp must be prepared, if the enemy witch Zhu Fei Fei attacked the camp, the bow and arrow can be fired, do not rush to pursue. ”

A group of lieutenants and military officials bowed their heads and said yes, and Zhao Xiao continued: "In addition, the daily horse scouting and riding must not be interrupted, and the situation within a radius of thirty miles in Dantu County must be investigated clearly, and any abnormalities will be listed in a book, and they will be reported twice in the morning and dusk. If there is any support from the Jiuli Kingdom, you must report to me immediately...... No matter what my condition. ”

Captain Chen couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Zhao Changshi, how do you tell General Wei about this matter?" ”

Zhao Xiao was silent for a moment and looked at Lieutenant Zhang: "You arrange for your henchmen to report to General Wei quickly." Let's just say that I was wounded on the battlefield, and the capture of Dantu County will be delayed for ten days. However, our army is holding the waterway and the grain and grass are not hindered, so General Wei does not have to worry about the battle situation in the rear. ”

Lieutenant Zhang bowed down and said yes, he understood Zhao Xiao's eyes, and this matter obviously had to be conveyed to Chiyundu.

Some military officials couldn't help it: "Zhao Changshi, you can rest!" If it really doesn't work, we will collect our troops and retreat to Pujia Pass. ”

"Nonsense." Zhao Xiao closed his eyes and said: "Dantu County is very important, even if you can't take back this city, you must firmly trap the enemy army." Once we withdraw our troops and collect our troops, the soldiers and horses of the Jiuli State in Dantu County will be able to scatter and attack in all directions, and the logistics and grain routes will be even more unstable at that time, and there will be endless troubles...... In the future, anyone who has spoken out of the army will be killed. ”

"Yes!" The captains and officers all had heavy faces.

"I just had some minor injuries, and I will be in good condition in ten days and half a month." Zhao Xiao comforted everyone and said, "I am a cultivator, and my body and bones are stronger than yours, so I don't have to worry too much. ”

Everyone present didn't dare to refute, Zhao Xiao waved his hand: "Okay, you continue to stick to the camp, and you must also send people to keep an eye on Dantu County, go." ”

The captains and officers retired separately, leaving a group of pavilion monks who looked at each other. Several Huaiying Pavilion disciples were signaled with eyes from all sides, and one of them took the initiative to come forward and said, "Senior, you ...... Don't worry, we'll be able to keep the camp. ”

"You are all young talents with cultivation, so naturally you don't need me to guide you." Zhao Xiao sighed secretly: "I only have one entrustment - please love the nurses, don't be arrogant and despise the public because of cultivating immortals and learning the Tao and studying techniques." Captain Chen has been in war for a long time, and if you have any questions about military affairs, you can ask him for advice. ”

The monks looked at each other a few times, and they didn't know if they listened, Zhao Xiao only felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and waved his hand with his fingertips trembling slightly: "Let's all go out...... You three stay for now. ”

Zhao Huang said, naturally Lu Wangji, Ding Muqiu and Liang Hui, he was silent for a long time, and said: "Ding Daoyou, please calm down these days, if the enemy is looking for a challenge, don't leave the camp to pursue." Jiuli Wuzhu was also severely injured, and it is estimated that the situation is similar to mine, and he will not be able to make waves in the near future. ”

"You...... You take care of your injuries first, I'm not that impulsive person. Ding Muqiu saw that Zhao Huang was seriously injured, but he still arranged the military affairs in an orderly manner, knowing that he had just misunderstood him, he raised his hand and clenched his fists in shame, and then left the big tent quickly.

Liang Hui looked at Ding Muqiu's back, his eyes were a little strange, and then he heard Zhao Xiao say: "Liang Daoyou, if anyone...... I contacted you and asked me about it, and it didn't hurt for you to be outspoken. ”

Liang Hui, who heard this, was startled, his face changed slightly, and he thought that he used the Sigui Mirror to contact his grandfather, all in the quiet room isolated from prying eyes, and Zhao Xiao's words clearly found out what he had done.

"Marquis Zhenming should take care of his health." Liang Hui didn't know what to say, he vaguely guessed that his grandfather attached great importance to Zhao Xiao, and he was a little jealous in his heart, obviously he was the younger brother of Yongjia Liang's family, why couldn't he be reused for a long time?

After Liang Hui also left, Zhao Xiao said to Lu Wangji: "Thank you Daoyou for your timely treatment, if it weren't for your qin music to adjust the qi pulse, I'm afraid I wouldn't have woken up so quickly." ”

"Here's what I'm supposed to do." Lu Wangji nodded slightly, and his hat shook slightly: "You sent me a letter to come before, I don't know what the original reason was?" ”

Zhao Xiao took a breath, Lu Wangji noticed that he was shallow, and then Hengqin was in his knees, plucking the silk strings lightly, and the music was like a clear spring and clouds, which greatly alleviated the pain of Zhao Xiao's veins.

"I'm ashamed." Zhao Huang said: "I invited Daoist friends to come, originally hoping to come up with a set of methods to capture the fierce qi of the battlefield. ”

Lu Wangji asked: "Why did Marquis Zhenming suddenly have this thought?" ”

"The power of the Jiuli gods, Daoist friends have also seen it." Zhao Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "I consciously have exhausted all means, but there is still no way to restrain such divine power. After thinking about it for many days, I felt that the ferocious aura on the battlefield could be given by breaking the divine power. ”

"The ferocious aura can indeed hinder the magic, and the accumulation is so deep that it is enough for the ghosts and gods to retreat." Lu Wangji said: "But as far as I know, the fierce qi is also difficult to capture, and only the soldiers who have been killed for a long time on the battlefield and are full of blood can cultivate a fierce spirit." ”

"I know." Zhao Xiao sighed: "So what I want to take is not the ferocious aura of a soldier and a soldier, but the ferocious aura of thousands of soldiers in the battlefield military array, which will converge and form a surging trend, which can not only isolate the divine power from descending, but also break through the Dantu County formation in one fell swoop." ”

"This is unheard of." Lu Wangji asked, "Why did Marquis Zhenming ask me for help?" ”

"I've tried to use rituals to capture the evil spirit, but the soldiers are scattered and ineffective." Zhao Xiao said bluntly: "Later, I remembered that Daoyou could use piano music to set up formations and collect the sharp qi between heaven and earth for attacking, so I considered whether Daoist friends had also achieved something in the fierce qi. ”

Lu Wangji pressed the strings and said softly: "This matter is not easy. In this way, the monk himself will also be deeply affected by the residual qi. Fengming Valley's cultivation pays attention to the five-tone spirit, the heart of the piano and the elegance, and the sound of killing must be cautious, and the fierce spirit is widely used, I am afraid that it will ...... No Beneficial Immortal Dao. ”

"Of course I won't let Daoist friends do such things." Zhao Xiao said: "I just hope that Taoist friends can give you some guidance on music theory and the use of qi machines, and you don't have to use piano music to implement it." ”

"Marquis Zhenming, I don't want you to do this." Lu Wangji was silent for a long time before saying, "You've done enough. I didn't say it in front of others, but I just took your pulse, and I found that your cultivation coincided with the critical step of Xuanzhu overstepping the heavy building and entering the mud pill. If it weren't for that, the Ghost Altar wouldn't have hurt you so badly. ”

"I still can't hide it from fellow Daoists." Zhao Xiao just wanted to laugh, but his qi deviated and pulled his chest again, making him choke and cough out, but such a cough made the severe pain attack, making Zhao Huang break out in a cold sweat.

Lu Wangji hurriedly tuned the piano and stroked the strings, and the rhythm like water waves enveloped Zhao Xiao, which stabilized his injury.

"If you want to live forever, you must investigate life and death, but not towards death." Lu Wangji said: "There is no need for the Marquis of Zhenming to know that he can't do it, today's battle, doesn't it just mean that there is no fierce spirit, and you and I can also break the enemy together?" ”

"Fellow Daoist, how many people in the world are like you and me?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"There are very few of them." Lu Wangji replied after a moment of silence.

"I just think that with just those of us, even if we exhaust our own cultivation, what we can do is limited after all." Zhao Xiao laughed: "Actually, this is still a big talk, more often you can only fight for a trace of gain in the cracks." And on the battlefield, in the face of thousands of troops, the slightest carelessness is also a life of death. ”

"Hua Xu Guo still has a master like Liang Guoshi, Marquis Zhenming doesn't have to worry too much." Lu Wangji comforted.

"Liang Guoshi, Liang Guoshi......" Zhao Xiaozhen didn't know how to evaluate this person, Huaxu's fortune and fortune were all related to him, and he was already indispensable. But in other words, if the fate of a country is in someone's hands alone, isn't it dangerous?

"What if Liang Guoshi is not there one day?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"I couldn't have predicted it." Lu Wangji also said: "If there is really a day, why don't the Marquis of Zhenming give up his dust, sail on the blue waves, stroke the qin in the secluded grate, and the world will be extinct, and he will ascend to the immortal road?" ”

"I ......" Zhao Huang was confused for a while, he found that he had almost no practical plans for the future except for the True Yuan Lock, and if the ideal of the Dao Kingdom in the world was difficult to achieve, where should he go?
