Chapter 313: Backstabbing Tieler, Root Wisdom Sutra (5k)
How do you know my identity so well? A few days ago, I tried to recruit the disciples left behind by the "Light Messenger" Ramo, and asked her to help interpret the difficult points in the "Book of Wisdom" at the cost of providing shelter, but before an agreement could be reached, I was sent by Yang Guang.
Could it be that this Lamour's disciple has already contacted the Persian Orthodox Church, and he is not afraid of the pursuit of the five types of demons at all.
Wang Shichong's eyes flickered, just like Rong Jiaojiao at the beginning, he suspected that Zhao Qing was the new "Messenger of Light", and his martial arts were so high that he was definitely far superior to the current Great Venerable Xu Kaishan of the Hui Ming Zun Sect.
In the case that the "Demon King" Zheluo, who defeated Lamor at the beginning, is said to have died at the end of his life, the current strength of the Hui Daming Zunjiao is most likely not her opponent, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and directly expressed surrender, perhaps Fang is his next glimmer of life.
Guessing that Zhao Qingsuo wanted to leave a copy of the "Imperial Ten Thousand Laws Root Wisdom Sutra" in Persia, it was a test for himself, Wang Shichong didn't dare to think about it, glanced at Zhang Zhenzhou, who was caught next to him, and knew that in the case of no one to command, it was difficult for the sailor to play a rescue role.
He sighed in his heart, and finally made up his mind, curled up slightly, lowered his head and replied:
"The "Book of Wisdom" that Wang knows is only a copy handed down by the ancient division, and it is not excluded that there are errors, omissions and defects.
This Xiugu Sidu is now the current Da Ming Zun Sect under the pseudonym Xu Kaishan.
originally planned to secretly contact Ramour's disciples and provide them with shelter, which was no different from betraying the Daming Zun Sect, and he had been able to bend and stretch in front of Yang Guang for many years, and it was not very difficult for Wang Shichong to make the decision to surrender.
……
At the same time, in the barracks outside Liyang City, under the starlight and moonlight, Shi Qingxuan wore a blue and black hat, a milky white tight-sleeved top, and a vermilion long skirt, and walked in leisurely and calmly, giving people a deep and endless feeling.
Du Fuwei, who returned to the barracks from the outside, stared closely at this young girl who was Zhao Qing's representative, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, realizing that with the profound cultivation he had accumulated for decades, he couldn't see the depth of the other party at all.
This is not that Shi Qingxuan's martial arts cultivation is really more sophisticated than that of a master of Du Fuwei's level, but that with the help of "The Secret of Longevity", she has embedded herself in the heavenly dao that cannot be spoken, is ubiquitous, and is invisible to ordinary people, and the essence in her body is integrated with the essence of heaven and earth;
In this state, unless it was Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan and other great masters who were in person, they had the ability to see and understand such a mysterious realm, even with Du Fuwei's extraordinary eyesight, it was still several levels behind.
Shi Qingxuan's expression was calm, she glanced at Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyi, the two famous masters, and took two steps forward, her eyes stayed on the sword she was carrying for a while, and then sighed softly:
"Fu Gongyi, what is the current level of contact between Du Fuwei and the Tiele people? However, no matter what agreement you have made with Qu Ao and the Iron Cavalry, now that Ren Shaoming has died at the hands of the 'Heavenly Sword' Song Que, it is difficult to fulfill it. ”
The leader of the Iron Riding Club, "Qingjiao" Ren Shaoming, actually died? How did my connection with the Tielers come out?
Hearing the news from Shi Qingxuan, Du Fuwei's rigid face couldn't help but show a little surprise, and at the same time, he also noticed that the other party asked for news in front of him, as if he didn't take himself, the leader of the Jianghuai Army, in his eyes.
I heard that Shi Qingxuan was originally the daughter of Shi Zhixuan, the "evil king" of the Demon Gate, and she is suspected of being familiar with Lao Fu, does it mean that the latter has different intentions? But to say so publicly, maybe it's a divisive ploy?
The rumors on the rivers and lakes are never necessarily true. "Qingjiao" Ren Shaoming claimed to have escaped from Song Que's heavenly sword, so he was famous all over the world, and was recognized as a master of southern martial arts second only to Song Que, and was as famous as Du Fuwei.
But in fact, the two of them were not one-on-one confrontations at all, but Ren Shaoming and a number of men and horses wanted to grab territory with Song Valve, but they were killed by Song Que and fled, and they were driven out of Lingnan, suffered heavy losses, and retreated to the Jiujiang area, mixed with Lin Shihong of the Yin Sect.
Ren Shaoming was originally a Tiele person, and his real name was Qute, so he was very cruel to the Han people. His father is known as the "Flying Eagle", Qu Ao, who is rampant in the western frontier, this person's reputation is high, and he is directly chasing the Turkic "Wuzun" Bi Xuan, and he is cruel and easy to kill, and his murder is even more famous than Bi Xuan.
The Tiele people have always been the sworn enemies of the Turks, and seeing the growing influence of the Turks in the Central Plains, they have the ambition to get a piece of the pie. Qu Ao was ordered by King Tiele to come to connect with the emerging forces in the Central Plains, trying to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of it.
Behind him, Lin Shihong, who was supported by the Yin faction, and Du Fuwei, who was famous for shocking Jianghuai, were the two targets chosen by the Tiele people, and Ren Shaoming established the Iron Cavalry Club to recruit villains and thieves, hoard a large number of goods by means of plunder, and continue to expand outward.
About half a month ago, when Du Fuwei led the army to attack Liyang, and once he succeeded, he could affect the situation in the world, Ren Shaoming sent his right protector "Yanni" Chang Zhen to secretly negotiate with the Jianghuai army, wanting to cooperate and form an alliance after conquering Liyang.
Du Fuwei was a person with no sense of morality, even though he knew that Ren Shaoming had a deep connection with the Tiele people, but now that many rebel armies were colluding with the Hu people, he was also ready to give it a try and use the masters of the Tiele people to deal with the enemy;
Unexpectedly, before Liyang City was captured, Ren Shaoming had already died, and he was also killed at the hands of Song Que, indicating that the Song Valve had officially listed the Tiele people as enemies, and was not afraid of the conflicts that might arise next.
With Song Que's sword skills and martial arts, since he personally took action, even if it was Ren Shaoming's father "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao, after he was defeated by "Wuzun" Bi Xuan, his martial arts regressed, it was only a matter of one or two knives, not to mention the weaker Ren Shaoming.
Unexpectedly, the "Heavenly Sword" actually left Lingnan to take action in person, Ren Shaoming and his subordinate left protector "evil monk" Fa Martyr, as well as many high-level officials of the Iron Riding Club, were killed by Song Que on the spot, and there was chaos, so that he left unscathed.
"The Iron Riders are complex, and the good and the bad are mixed. There have always been disagreements on where to form the alliance. It is only because of the authoritarian power of Ren Shaoming that it seems to be like one mind, and the big tree of Ren Shaoming has fallen, and the monkeys below are torn apart. ”
Fu Gongqi knew that Du Fuwei did have the intention of colluding with the Tiele people, and in the face of Shi Qingxuan's meaningful inquiry, he sighed lightly, and did not answer positively, but turned to the upcoming changes in the Iron Cavalry Association, and continued to speak:
"Lao Du, the Iron Cavalry Society has offended such a powerful force as the Song Valve, and finally ended up like this, it is impossible to attract Tiele people as foreign aid in a short period of time, and it may be too late to cut off the relationship with them now."
"Looking at the meaning of Miss Shi and the person behind her, it is obvious that she has no good impression of a foreign race like the Tiele people, and even further listed them as enemies to invade the Central Plains, and wants to cooperate with the Song Valve to expel them away."
"Now that the 'Yanni' Chang Zhen who has been sent by Ren Shaoming as a messenger and has committed many crimes, she is still in the barracks, why don't you take her down and dispose of her immediately, in order to show your determination to break with the Iron Cavalry, the 'Flying Eagle' Qu Ao, and the Tiele people?"
Coercing Duvowe to openly dispose of the messengers he had recruited and backtracking would have significantly reduced his prestige as the head of an army and prepared the way for the planned seizure of power by the Auxiliary.
Hearing Fu Gongyi's statement that he wanted to make a decision for himself, Du Fuwei couldn't help but be shocked and angry in his heart, knowing that the other party pointed out the collusion with Shi Qingxuan through his own injury, revealing the ambition he had hidden in his heart.
In this case, if he is a little careless in his actions, he will end up in a situation similar to that of Zhai Rang and Li Mi in Wagangzhai, deviate from morality, and gradually lose control of the Jianghuai army.
However, compared with the Jianghuai Army, which is outside his body, Du Fuwei naturally values his own martial arts and life, although he was deeply dissatisfied with the words of the auxiliary prince, he did not show it, but nodded and said:
"Lao Fu's proposal is really good. Xiongsheng, where is 'Yanni' Chang Zhen staying now? You immediately take a team of people to arrest her for me and hand her over to Miss Shi to dispose of. ”
As Du Fuwei's loyal subordinate, Wang Xiong also heard the meaning of the auxiliary minister's words, glared at him fiercely, and prepared to count a team of law enforcement team masters to arrest Chang Zhen.
But before he could step out of the door of the tent, a bald soldier on the side suddenly jumped out, his coat swelled and shattered, revealing a long coat as colorful as a cloud, and at the same time, he shot a thin needle like a cow's hair with a volley in the air, and went to the back of Shi Qingxuan's head.
This person is the disguised "Yanni" Chang Zhen, who is proficient in a variety of tricks from the Yin Sect, and secretly replaced the identity of a Jianghuai army soldier to eavesdrop on intelligence.
After discovering that the situation had changed drastically, she was furious in her heart, and knew that she could only fight with Wang Xiongdan to a draw at best, so she had to flee immediately, and before leaving, she suddenly attacked Shi Qingxuan, who was Zhao Qing's representative, with a poisonous needle, trying to make the Jianghuai army encounter Zhao Qing's possible anger.
By using the secret technique of the master "Ecstasy Colored Clothes", one hundred and ten poisonous needles suddenly burst out, and they were caught off guard, even if they were a master who was one or two points stronger than "Yanni", they might not be able to block them in time.
Especially Shi Qingxuan, who had her back to her, in Chang Zhen's opinion, there was a fifty or sixty percent chance of being tricked, and it had to be intercepted by Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyuan, which would lead to chaos and provide an opportunity for her to escape.
In an instant, more than ten zhang burst out, "Yanni" Chang Zhen let out a silver bell-like laughter, her eyes were full of color, and she just wanted to speak, leaving a further contradictory remark, but she saw the sword light flashing around her, and the tendons of her limbs had been cut off, and she fell straight to the ground.
"The sword that the predecessor lent to Qing Xuan is really extraordinary." Under the shocked gazes of Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyi, and Wang Xiongdan, the poisonous needles shot at Shi Qingxuan were all cut into several pieces by the brilliant sword light in an instant, and they fell to the ground one after another.
She turned around and glanced at the bald Chang Zhen, who had just been slashed down by Zhao Qing's remote manipulation of the flying sword, and said, "Just now, the senior gave instructions through the sword, just to make a cut with the Iron Rider Association and take down a mere 'Yanni', the sincerity is not enough. ”
"It's best to turn around the army and take advantage of the chaos and division of the Iron Cavalry Society and the impact on the nearby Poyang Society, to go and eliminate these evil bandits and rescue the local bullied civilians."
"As long as the punishment of adultery and evil are eliminated, and the number of good deeds is widely done, a wound like Du Fuwei can naturally be healed by her. On the contrary, the wicked who have been marked by the spirit will only have one end no matter how far they flee to the ends of the earth. ”
When Shi Qingxuan relayed Zhao Qing's words, the blue radial meridian sword pierced through the pipa bone of "Yanni" Changzhen, dragged her back to the tent and put her down, and then hovered in front of Du Fuwei's unconscious arms, emitting a surging glow, suppressing the effect of some of the strange qi.
The sword body vibrated the air rapidly, simulating the voice of Zhao Qing himself: "Du Fuwei, the Tiele man you colluded with, Ren Shaoming, and the true preacher Zuo Youxian you contacted, Fu Gongyi, have all died. If you don't want to follow in the footsteps of the two of them, you have to change your mind......"
The sword that Shi Qingxuan carried with him could exert the power of that master, what kind of vast supernatural power was this? Fu Gongyi secretly contacted the Demon Gate Zuo Youxian, what was going on?
Finally sensed the existence of the arm again, although he did not regain his full strength, Du Fuwei was still agitated, and he almost dared not obey the instructions issued by Zhao Qing.
……
While distracted by Shi Qingxuan's situation, Zhao Qing listened to Wang Shichong's recitation of the "Wisdom Sutra of the Root of Ten Thousand Laws" from Zhang Zhenzhou for a while, and found that in the face of an irresistible enemy, the other party's courage became very small, and he did not fake it.
However, as Wang Shichong said, the "Wisdom Classic" he knew was only a copy of Xu Kaishan's copy, and it was completely incomparable with the original version with the annotations of the predecessors of the past dynasties.
In the case that Wang Shichong himself has only practiced a small part of the "Wisdom Sutra", this volume of martial arts classics written in ancient Persian is much more difficult to understand, and some of the content can only be practiced by referring to the "Bright Sutra" and other secret books taught by the Great Ming Zun.
After listening to Wang Shichong for a while, she learned that the "Wisdom Sutra" is divided into two volumes, the "Imperial Method" about the mental method, and the "Ten Thousand Laws" about martial arts.
Among them, it mainly includes "alchemy", "Ming Yugong", "bloody hand miracle skill", "Heng Nian Jue" and other advanced and profound masters, which can be divided into eighteen heavens, from darkness to light, and finally reach the realm of great light.
Whether it is the "alchemy" that majors in the spirit and is divided into light and dark, or the "Ming Yugong" and "Bloody Hand" that can be used as internal strength and represent light and darkness respectively, they are all included in the division of the eighteen heavens;
However, even the highest level of the ninth-level "Ming Yu Gong" or "Bloody Hand" only focuses on the path of light and darkness, and only one deviation is obtained, and the cultivation to the limit is only equivalent to the seventeenth heaven of the "Wisdom Sutra".
It is rumored that unless you understand the most profound and subtle "horizontal thoughts" that connect light and shade, you may have the qualifications to achieve the final level of cultivation and get a glimpse of the mysteries that involve the light and darkness of the universe.
According to Zhao Qing's preliminary inference, the practice of the "Wisdom Sutra of the Root of Ten Thousand Laws" is very different from the vast majority of Central Plains martial arts, and many of the contents involve the mysterious and mysterious brains, and the hidden meridians, blood vessels, and nerves are developed and utilized, and they are self-contained.
Due to the excessive content of the "Book of Wisdom", after listening to Wang Shichong recite a small part of the previous summary, she asked him to stop first and mentioned the matter of controlling the Sui army's sailors.
"Let this sailor under the command of Wang surrender?" When Wang Shichong heard Zhao Qing's request, he was immediately taken aback, thinking that it was impossible to control a large number of troops by personal force alone, so he couldn't help frowning and thinking desperately.
However, he seemed to be at a loss when he first heard that the situation was not good, but the old fox was an old fox after all, and after his emotions calmed down, he immediately showed his old and spicy true colors.
"From the beginning of the Qin Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the method of conscription has always been the mainstay, and there have been occasional recruitment, which is only for auxiliary purposes. The so-called conscription means that all adult men are required to enlist in the army, serve for a certain number of years when they have nothing to do, and go to war when they have something. ”
Wang Shichong lowered his head and pondered, and then said: "But since the beginning of the Western Wei Dynasty, the government military system has been implemented, and production at home is usually carried out, and martial arts are trained in the slack time. Every year, they have to go to Beijing or the border areas to defend for January, go to the battlefield during the war, and return home after the war, and have to prepare their own weapons, equipment, and food. ”
"Yang Guang fought for many years, making the soldiers fight far away for a long time, which made them unbearable, either deserted and fled, or rebelled. If the conscription system is changed to the conscription system, in this situation, as long as the food and salary are sufficient, those who have their own courage are willing to work hard, which is far better than the conscription system. ”
"The Sui army sailors who supported Liyang originally had a considerable number of soldiers recruited by Wang, and if they could have a large amount of money and food to reward and maintain their livelihoods, it would not be impossible to recruit them with Yang Guang's faint virtue of making people angry."
"There is really enough food and salary, and with the cooperation of the deputy general Zhang Zhenzhou, coupled with the assistance of Wang's generals, I will quickly deal with those in the army who are unwilling to cooperate, under my own operation, there is indeed a great possibility that the sailor will rebel against Sui in one fell swoop."
Speaking of this, Wang Shichong's face showed a look of embarrassment, and said:
"However, to be able to equip the five-tooth ship, the treatment of the sailor itself is actually quite good, at least tens of thousands of silver taels, and there are more money and grain reserves, so as to suppress the opposition in a short time."
"The money that Wang carried on this trip is far less than this amount, and because he is out on the expedition, his own credibility is not enough to make all his Sui troops believe that they can supply it for a long time, and it is really a big problem to do this......
"There's no need to worry about money and food." At this moment, a middle-aged man with a silver beard and white hair was holding a cane and walking slowly along the city wall, it was Song Lu, the master of the Song Dynasty, who interjected: "Our Song family can take out 80,000 taels of gold now to serve as the salary of the navy." ”
And behind Song Lu, the "Heavenly Sword" Song Que and Song Shidao also looked at Zhao Qing, Wang Shichong, and Zhang Zhenzhou, and no one raised any objections, obviously this statement has been supported by Song Que, the owner of the Song valve.
