Chapter 311: Homogeneity and Harmony (4k)
"When I was on the expedition to the Ryukyus, I saw a mirage, and it was also a strange vision in mid-air. But this time, the image above Liyang City can emit such a conspicuous light at night, it seems to be very different from ordinary mirages, and it is probably not the same thing."
"If Wang Tongshou feels that the vision in the distance is a bad omen, he might as well let the two generals, Lang Feng or Song Mengqiu, take a speedboat to Liyang in advance to find out. After receiving specific information, we will make appropriate responses and adjust the deployment of the army." Zhang Zhenzhou thought for a while, and replied:
"However, since it is necessary to report to His Majesty today, it is natural to regard it as a good omen if no problem is discovered. If Lord Tongshou can seize this opportunity and successfully repel Du Fuwei's side, both his prestige and power can be significantly improved."
After listening to Zhang Zhenzhou's reply, Wang Shichong's heart moved, knowing that the other party's suggestion was very good, encountering this kind of strange thing, it seemed to be a bad omen at first glance, but if it is operated properly, it can indeed be used as a ladder for his own promotion.
Besides, when I saw the light emitted by that vision from afar, I seemed to have an inexplicable attraction in my heart, could it be that God had given me a revelation to Wang?
Lang Feng and Song Mengqiu are of average level and are not of great use, the eldest son Xuan Ying is drunk on wine, and the second son Xuan Shu has not been eliminated, and he has not obtained his true inheritance. When you really start a war, you can only rely on your own command.
Zhang Zhenzhou, who is quite good in the art of war and strategy, if he can join his command with his subordinates, it will be tantamount to adding a number of strengths to his side, and he will have a lot to do in dealing with possible turmoil in the future, and even standing on his own and dominating the side.
Thinking of this, Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with shrewdness, he reached out and patted Zhang Zhenzhou's shoulder, and laughed:
"Why bother to let Lang and Song go over to investigate in advance? Wang Mou asked himself that he was also a good hand in martial arts, and he was not afraid of ordinary dangers, and with the extraordinary insight of Brother Zhen Zhou, he should be able to identify the good luck and evil of the omen."
In the process of "making" auspicious signs, Zhang Zhenzhou participated together, and there was a connection of interests, which was the best way to win over the other party.
……
At the head of Liyang City, the Sui army defending the city was counting the personnel and materials lost in the first battle, and from time to time turned their heads to look at the strange giant paintings outside the city, both confused and surprised, and also had a feeling of the aftermath of the disaster.
Sensing Wang Shichong's gradual approach, Zhao Qing knew that the other party should be influenced by the dark system exercises he had practiced in the Great Ming Zun Sect, and he was attracted to each other with the light system vitality he emanated, so he made the decision to lead a small fleet to come, which could be described as a self-defeating net.
The cheats sent to the door, even if he wanted to manipulate the flying sword to fight against Song Que and win a mere Wang Shichong, it would be an easy matter, and it would not take much effort.
However, openly taking down the senior generals of the Sui army, unlike the last time when Yu Chisheng and Yu Wenzhi were killed in the mountains and fields, it can be regarded as openly creating a rebellion against the Sui Dynasty, and it is necessary to deal with the sailors under Wang Shichong, and it is necessary to carefully consider how to deal with it.
simply took advantage of the power of repelling Du Fuwei and Song Que, coupled with certain means, directly controlled Liyang City in his hands, captured the sailors led by Wang Shichong, and let Du Fuwei retreat in the face of difficulties and change to another target of attack.
In the upper reaches of Liyang, Lin Shihong's Poyang Society, Xiao Milling's Baling Gang, these two forces adjacent to Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army are good choices.
Lin Shihong secretly identifies as a veteran of the Yin Sect and guards the Xuan, and is currently the second leader of the Poyang Society, but he is obviously ready to merge the former, and his sphere of influence includes Poyang, Yuzhang, Jiujiang, Linchuan and other counties.
As a member of the Demon Gate, the lives of the people under Lin Shihong's rule are in dire straits, and they are still a few points worse than Du Fuwei, and if they can be defeated, it will be a good thing.
Similar to Lin Shihong, Xiao Mo is also the second leader of the Baling Gang, ranking below the big boss Lu Kang, but his martial arts are also above the latter, and he is supported by the Xiang family in the gang, hiding his strength and waiting for the opportunity.
Much better than Lin Shihong is that Xiao Mo himself is a magistrate, and he has the support of the local rich gentry, and the residents under his rule are rich, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. But the way this Baling Gang started, but
It is much more criminal than Poyang, specializing in trafficking women and supplying the needs of brothels all over the world.
Xiang Yushan, one of the most despicable characters in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", is an important member of the Baling Gang, and his Xiang family specializes in searching for beauties in Middle-earth and outside the territory for Yang Guang, and secretly engages in the shameful business of trafficking women.
Yang Guangda Jianxing Palace, from Luoyang to Yangzhou alone, has no less than 40 palaces, and each one has to be served by hundreds of beauties. It is reported that one day Yang Guang suddenly had an idea to use the palace maid of one of the palaces as underage girls, so the left and right ministers notified the Baling Gang to carry it out.
At that time, Lu Kangshou, the leader of the Baling Gang, knew that this matter would be a public outrage, and ordered his subordinates to secretly search for and kidnap girls who looked like Peugeot elves all over the country, and later released a smoke screen, and rumored that the girl was sold to Saiwai, which is one of the examples.
It should be noted that during the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, a woman was considered an adult at the age of twelve, and a considerable number of underage girls forcibly abducted by the Baling Gang were even only seven or eight years old, which shows the weight of the sins of the Xiang family and Yang Guang.
The Xiang family never let people know that those casinos or Qinglou belonged to them, and they were dedicated to remote places, using coercion and temptation to buy young women at low prices, and then intensively trained to supply the Yin media of Qinglou in various places, and there were corrupt bureaucrats in the Sui court to cover them up, so no one could catch them with conclusive evidence of evil.
In terms of the degree of crime, this Xiang family is undoubtedly an existence that can compete with the Demon Gate, and he has lost his conscience and is unforgivable, and he has long been included in Zhao Qing's list of must-kill.
Originally, according to her plan, after staying in Liyang for a while, she would go to destroy the Baling Gang, which was trafficking in human beings, but now it was time for Du Fuwei to transfer his military forces to the west and compete with them for territory. In the case of Duvoway's invasion of foreign gases, it was most likely difficult for him to refuse this offer.
……
Song Quexiong's body like a pine and cypress mountain slowly walked towards the image of Fan Qinghui, his eyes shining like the brightest starlight in the dark night sky, and his handsome face did not contain the slightest joy, anger and sorrow.
After reading the poem that first saw Fan Qinghui as the opening remark, he stopped leisurely, returned to the scabbard, the horizontal knife stood proudly, and stared at the heavenly knife across his chest with deep eyes, as if he was an old monk, ignoring Zhao Qing's unexpected methods and strange offensive methods.
In front of Song Que, the sword light in the sky shot out like a shrouded in the sky, and it blended with the huge curtain of the image of the Derivative Tiger Leaping Gorge, making it impossible to distinguish, falling on the aura barrier created by the sharp sword qi around him, and quickly scoured out one pit after another.
There is no doubt that without continuing to use the Heavenly Sword Method, even if Zhao Qing is divided into the projection screen, the remaining sword qi offensive is still enough to defeat Song Que, which is not a clever defensive means, in a short period of time.
And in order to resist the ever-changing impact of these sword qi with all his might, Song Que had to amplify his senses to the most sensitive state, so he had to face the image of Fan Qinghui that he least wanted to see, and because the curtain was particularly large, there was no possibility of moving the venue to avoid it.
Therefore, the choice Song Que made now was really unexpected, it seemed that he had neither the ability to deal with the image of the painting screen, nor the effect of resisting the wave of sword qi, it was like being tied.
Only Zhao Qing can know the reason why he coped in this way: to put the knife back to the sheath, that is, to collect the heart, this is a very ingenious move to make the mind conform to nature.
Song Que was about to fall into the realm of "forgetting the knife", and went straight back to the realm where he had not yet "obtained the knife" when he first met Fan Qinghui, and took the initiative to give up, retreating into advance, entering and exiting between existence and non-existence, trying to recast the realm of "there is nothing else except the knife".
Since the fall of the Han Dynasty, metaphysics has emerged, a kind of ideological trend that combines the Confucian scriptures with the "three mysteries" of Laozi, Zhuangzi and Zhou Yi as the backbone, and replaces the cumbersome Han classics.
When used in martial arts, it has become the two mainstream mental methods of "everything in heaven and earth is based on nothing" and "self-generated and must be embodied".
Under the cycle of Heavenly Dao, everything has a beginning and an end, and then there is another new beginning.
Do not force everything to be forced, everything is natural, such as fire has a fire nature, water has a water nature, so that it can go according to nature, and it can be a matter of course.
In the new realm of "Getting the Sword".
Next, due to the spiritual refinement, the rudiments of the cycle that connects the beginning of "getting the knife" and finally "forgetting the knife" have been constructed, and Song Que will no longer be restricted by Fan Qinghui, and the defects and defects will become one;
No matter how the environment changes, the weakest point in his soul is equivalent to the strongest part, there is and there is no difference between strength and weakness, and it becomes the medium that connects the realm of "getting the knife" and "forgetting the knife", so that these seemingly contradictory two points can coexist.
Being able to attribute obedience to homogeneity, such a mysterious spiritual realm, Zhao Qing also saw it for the first time, and couldn't help but admire Song Que's creativity, knowing that under the high pressure he exerted, he finally realized the smooth way to enter the "forgetfulness".
Although when Song Que withdrew from the two realms of "Forgetting the Knife" and "Getting the Knife" one after another, she had the ability to attack with all her strength and defeat the opponent who had temporarily fallen in strength, but the reason why he dared to show such a weakness and gamble with his life was indeed quite extraordinary.
Being able to trust himself so much, Zhao Qing originally wanted to guide the other party to make a breakthrough, but he didn't obstruct it, stopped the flickering sword light in the sky, and put away the huge curtain, as if the light was suddenly swallowed up by the darkness, revealing the terrifying feeling of being in danger.
After Song Que initially completed the transformation, what kind of amazing power could the brand-new Heavenly Sword be displayed, and what kind of martial arts theory could be expounded?
Under Zhao Qing's induction, since she put away the offensive, Song Que stood straight in place, his hands hung down, his eyes were closed, he hadn't moved half a finger for a long time, he had said half a sentence, and entered the spiritual realm of crystal clear, without the slightest flaw, calm as a clear and deep pool.
The white horse, who ran away due to the unloading of his strength when he first came out of the knife, after wandering around the bleak battlefield for a while, Xiaobu returned to his side, seemingly unharmed, and stopped beside Song Que with tacit understanding, without making a new sound.
After a long time, as if he had woken up from a big dream, Song Que slowly drew his knife again, stretched out his fingers and carefully brushed every inch of the blade, and then looked up and found the ice sword that converged and swirled in the night sky.
He didn't see with his "eyes", but with his "heart", beyond the scene of the mortal world, probed into the depths of the ice sword, and came into contact with Zhao Qing himself through a long distance, which shows that Song Que's spiritual realm has indeed been unimaginably sublimated after re-"obtaining the sword".
Finally seeing this peerless master who stimulated himself with Fan Qinghui, but allowed himself to make a breakthrough in the sword path, Song Que was not half surprised by Zhao Qing's youth, but waved the thick-backed long knife in his hand diagonally upwards in a gentle attitude.
Although there is no change, but the ever-changing is in it, such as the infinity of heaven and earth, the universe is endless, and what is particularly eye-catching is undoubtedly the strange knife intent of the internal cycle of this knife.
[In view of the general environment,
There is not only the young and vigorous knife intent of Song Que's first knife practice, but also the artistic conception of affection and sharpness after seeing Fanqing Hui; The proud sword intent that shook the world after defeating Yue Shan of the "Tyrant Sword", and the "Eight Techniques of the Heavenly Sword" that matched the "Narcissus Blade", which was gentle and dexterous, and flowed endlessly......
From the most embryonic period, it has slowly developed into today's mighty Heavenly Sword, during which every process of change has been vividly revealed, and it shows a strange continuity, beyond imagination, it is integrated into one, and the cycle is endless;
It seems that the remnants of Song Lack's life at a certain level are ethereal, like the beginning of heaven and earth, and like the reflection of his Lingtai Dao mirror, beyond the description of any words, one by one, beautiful, everything is novel, although the sword intent of each period is strong and weak, but in fact there is no flaw to be found.
The golden knife light kept jumping, and in an instant, it connected the heavens and the earth, hooking up the shocking artistic conception of "getting the knife" and "forgetting the knife", and the mighty and mighty was like the torrent of the Jinsha River Tiger Leaping Gorge in the painting screen, releasing a majestic power beyond the limitations of the human body.
And in front of the direction of the extension of this astonishing sword light, the ice sword, which had been silent in the darkness, also lit up with stars, and the trajectories were connected, turning into a beautiful nebula, in the most brilliant and brightest one
Guided by the stars, they shuttle between the boundary between the sky and the earth;
With the North Star in charge of Zhongtian as the hub, Zhao Qing used the sword intent as the separation between yin and yang, and shuttled between heaven and earth in high-speed flight, attracting a huge amount of heaven and earth vitality, melting the power of yin and yang, and casting an earth-shattering and indestructible edge.
