"Yang Sui has divided our Turks many times, so why should he help them restore the country? This time, our army took Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou and others as the vanguard, not only to continue the separatist means of supporting the Han people to fight the Han people, but also to take advantage of the fact that the national strength of Middle-earth was not restored, and captured Ningxia, Taiyuan and other places in one fell swoop. ”

Soon, a big man with long hair and a shawl, a steel hoop with a jewel embedded in the center of the forehead ring, and a pale face, rode to the front of the Wolf Temple, followed by two teams of people and horses, it was Shibi Khan, who was severely injured in spirit, and replied in a deep voice.

I saw that Shibi's clothes were extremely exquisite, which was completely different from the rough and primitive warrior clothing of the Turks, which was mainly based on animal leather and fur, wearing a brocade warrior costume inside, a silk robe embroidered with dragon patterns on the outside, and long purple boots on his feet.

This is a symbolic means, with the Turkic Great Khan, incarnated as the emperor of Middle-earth, with the purpose of sacrifice, a metaphor for becoming the conqueror of Middle-earth, indicating that the Turks are now attacking the south, not only seeking the previous captivity, but intending to really establish a stronghold in the pass.

A group of knights who were four or five horses behind Shibi, there were more than 20 people, and they were a group of fierce generals and chieftains with a very high status in the Eastern Turks, and the most conspicuous was of course the undoubted number one Turkic master, "Wuzun" Bi Xuan.

Bi Xuan looked like he was only in his thirties, his physique was perfect, his bronzed skin shimmered with a dazzling luster, and his legs were extraordinarily long, so that his majestic body had the potential to support the starry sky, and the wild linen robe draped on his body was blowing in the wind, and he had the style of being a grandmaster independent of all beings.

For decades, Bi Xuan never participated in the wars of the Turkic tribes, but his own brother Tun Xugu was often active in the clan, and his martial arts skills and strategies were excellent, and he won the respect and trust of the Great Khan, and his status was second only to Bi Xuan himself.

The person who proposed the plan to establish the orphans of the Sui royal family as a puppet emperor is a subordinate who has been recruited from nowhere in the recent days, and this speech, because Bi Xuan was present today and did not refute it, theoretically it can also be regarded as representing the opinions of Bi Xuan, Tun Desire Valley and others.

Seeing that the Great Khan did not agree with his own remarks, Tun Desire Valley, who looked only in his thirties but was actually in his seventies and eighties, just smiled slightly and explained simply:

"Once our Turkic army enters the country, under the banner of supporting the restoration of Yang Sui's descendants, the situation of chaos and division in China will continue, making people think back to the Sui Dynasty when Yang Jian was in power, and give birth to expectations and illusions in their hearts, so as to reduce the resistance they will suffer at that time."

Shibi Khan naturally didn't understand what the other party meant, but when he was trapped outside Yanmen Pass, he was completely an enemy of the Sui Dynasty, and it was obviously not suitable for such a banner, otherwise there would be no credibility at all, and the effect would be almost nothing.

Tun Desire Valley went against himself in front of the wolf god, which was already a taboo since his mental trauma, which made Shibi Khan faintly feel a little ominous, and couldn't help but look back at Bi Xuan, whom he respected on weekdays, and thought of the relationship between the other party and Tun Desire Valley, and his heart was full of doubts.

In fact, the reason why Shibi risked his injuries and illness to lead the army south was precisely because he wanted to show his might more when he was weak, saying that his strength was still strong, aiming to suppress the idea of several brothers to seize the throne, and in the conquest of Middle-earth, he tried to consume the power of Chuluo, Jieli and others.

But now it seems that Shibi's plan to pave the way for his son Tuli's succession before his death did not work as he thought.

"I wonder what Wu Zun thinks about this?" After a moment of silence, Shi Bi turned around with the long knife in his hand and opened his mouth to break the silence here, but noticed that Bi Xuan did not focus on himself, the Great Khan, and stared thoughtfully at the old man who spoke under the Tun Desire Valley.

Almost no one imagined that this ordinary looking old man turned out to be the posture of the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan after dressing up, and his martial arts cultivation and disguise skills had greatly improved, and he actually concealed the "Martial Venerable" Bi Xuan, one of the three great masters in the past.

At the beginning, Shi Zhixuan decisively evacuated Daxing City, and easily plundered Yang Guang's youngest son, Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, as another available pawn in addition to Yang Xuyan, who might betray, and secretly came to the territory of the Eastern Turks, disguised himself and traded with Princess Yicheng, who was loyal to the Sui Dynasty.

Although because of Zhao Qing, the previous plans were basically in vain, Shi Zhixuan knew that what he was best at was winning in chaos, and was ready to unite Princess Yicheng, "Demon Marshal" Zhao Deyan and others to guide the Eastern Turks to launch an invasion of the Central Plains and seize benefits in the chaotic situation.

After carefully observing the old man, Bi Xuan couldn't find any flaws for the time being, but he was keenly aware that there might be a big change tonight, and the conspiracy had already counted himself in it, making it difficult for him to kill his relatives in righteousness, and take action against the Lust Valley who was deeply involved.

Without leaking out half of his heart's complicated and changeable emotions, he walked abruptly in the direction of Shibi, his pace seemed to be slow and fast, and he was full of strange and inexplicable feelings.

All the warriors near and far stood silently and respectfully, for them, Bi Xuan was not only the supreme leader of the spirit, but also a god-like worshipped martial arts master, who had been famous on the prairie for more than sixty years, and his momentum was higher than that of Shibi Khan.

The whistling night wind and the burning sound of torches dotted the ominous night on Wolf Mountain, and then, Bi Xuan stood leisurely two feet in front of Shi Bi, and made a voice that was so calm that it almost did not contain any emotion, and said lightly:

"More than twenty years ago, I fought to a draw with Ning Daoqi, knowing that the other party's martial arts and wisdom were not below me. Now that he is no longer a 'scattered person', but has joined the disciples of Anguo Zhao Qing, it is enough to show the terrible enemy in the south. ”

"Although the saying 'once ascending to the immortal, the heavenly palace is reflected', although it is somewhat untrue, it can make so many people believe that it must be paid enough attention to thousands of miles away. At that time, you also witnessed the vision of the red clouds in the sky over Guanzhong. ”

"Under the domination of such a figure, Middle-earth will soon turn from decline to prosperity, and will eventually fight with our steppes, and if we cannot take advantage of the weakest moment of the other party to truly work together, the price to be paid is likely to be far more painful than the struggle within some clans."

The steppe stretches from the Khing'an Mountains in the east, to the Altai Mountains in the west, to the Yinshan Mountains in the south, to Lake Baikal in the north and the upper reaches of the Shihe River in the Yenisei River and Yeer, which is vast to the extreme.

No matter how powerful a regime is, it still has a long regret about governing such a vast land, so there has never been a cessation of incidents caused by conflicts of interest, division is the norm, and unification is unreasonable.

As a matter of fact, at present, under the supreme leader of the Turks, there are a number of small khans, each with its own territory, independent of both power and force, as the saying goes, "although migration is impermanent, each has its own land", if it can enter the stage of centralization, its strength can undoubtedly be greatly increased.

Furthermore, if there is a unified prairie of the Cypriot nationalities, uniting all the races, and there is no need to worry about the future, in the minds of everyone on the field, unless they encounter an unprecedentedly strong enemy, they will be like a devastating and devastating sweep of the Central Plains.

The meaning of Bi Xuan's words is to warn Shi Bi, Tun Desire Valley and others that they should not fight for power in the Wolf Temple at the critical moment of the expedition, and at the same time hope that everyone will temporarily put aside their suspicions and carry out various liquidations after achieving sufficient results, at least to temporarily maintain the unity within the Eastern Turks.

However, Shi Bi, who was not long in life, did not really mean to use troops against Middle-earth, but instead paid more attention to weakening the power of the two brothers, and couldn't listen to Bi Xuan's words, so he immediately quietly gestured to a team of knights around him, and retorted in a deep voice:

"The Central Plains Dynasty has always been mainly engaged in agriculture, although there are 100 times more people than us, but it is not easy to mobilize the army, which often only causes civil unrest, and the defense line is long, it is difficult to concentrate on defense."

"If it is an expedition to counterattack, as long as its grain route is cut off, it will become a lone army of laborers who are short of food, how can they resist the raid of our elite cavalry from the desert, but the change of weather and the scorching heat of the desert are doomed to defeat."

"Therefore, there is no need for Wuzun to attach too much importance to the new dynasty that unified Middle-earth, just looking at its intention to take the initiative to attack our Turks, it can be seen that Zhao Qing may have profound martial arts attainments, but he is not familiar with military content."

However, when Shibi Khan deliberately said that the strength of the Central Plains was weak and hinted that the guards on the side were ready, with a sudden cough from the depths of the dense forest, he suddenly stopped his voice by touching his forehead with both hands, and fell to the ground with a bruised face, as if he had been poisoned.

In an instant, he understood that the enemy actually took the first place to kill him, Shi Bi looked breathless, raised his arm tremblingly, and pointed to the side of the shocked Chu Luo Khan, and suddenly, a team of skilled cavalry swarmed up and shot the Chu Luo who did not react on the spot.

didn't have time to save the two in the sudden change, Bi Xuan decisively shook his body and stopped in front of Jieli, the most powerful of the remaining khans, although he was very suspicious that he was the real mastermind behind the scenes, but at this moment he had to go all out to protect the only other party with prestige to inherit the position of the Great Khan.

As for the son of Shibi Khan, the little Khan of Tuli, he was originally barely a suitable successor, but if he was chosen, there was a high probability that the civil strife of the Turks would be triggered by the revenge and liquidation, so he was excluded by Bi Xuan, who was eager to stabilize the situation.

Under the shock of the scorching sun's aura, Shi Bi's henchmen and cavalry couldn't help but give up the order to make a move, allowing Bi Xuan to maintain a certain attitude of staying out of the matter and watching coldly, and slowly looked towards Jieli Khan, aiming to let the other party express his opinion on the future direction of the Turks.

As if he had already been prepared, Jieli glanced at the two brothers who had lost their breath with a sad and resolute look, and sighed: "The attitude of the sage who attaches importance to An Guo and Zhao Qing is exactly what Jieli thinks in his heart. ”

"According to the information obtained from recent investigations, the weapons and equipment of our Turks once caught up with the skills of the Central Plains Dynasty, but according to the development trend of Anguo, it is likely to be left behind again in a short period of time, and reduced to the situation that the grassland was swept by Li Mu at will during the Warring States Period."

"Only by gathering millions of people in the clan to control the strings, and uniting the Khitan, Murowei, and Hui countries, and jointly attacking Middle-earth, can this great disaster be eliminated. The slightest carelessness may lead to a catastrophe from which you will never recover. ”

"At the same time that our army crossed the river and headed south, it could also reveal the news to the Western Turks, Tuyuhun and other countries. As long as the momentum of gaining a stronghold in the Central Plains is revealed, in order to prevent our forces from becoming large alone, the Archery will have no choice but to go to the Central Plains to get a piece of the pie, and then launch an invasion from Kansai......"

After listening to Jieli's speeches under the guidance of Shi Zhixuan, Zhao Deyan, Xuan Yugu and others, Bi Xuan deeply agreed, knowing that the Turks were really facing a huge crisis of destroying the country and exterminating the nation this time.

On the contrary, the sacrifice of Shibi's own in exchange for the "righteousness" of restoring Yang Sui during the invasion of the Central Plains, and the chieftains who opposed the all-out build-up of military forces to deter the unification of the forces in this battle is what the tribal leaders should do after calming down.

So, under the light of the blazing torch, the recognized Jieli raised his hands high, and prayed to the "wolf stone" above, asking the great god of the Turkic tribe to give victory, the sound was majestic as a golden stone knock, containing real strength, the waves rushed straight to the cliff, causing an echo, there was a terrifying momentum of the mountain and the wall, shaking the mountain forest and river bank, covering the sound of the wind and trees.

And Shi Zhixuan, who was dressed as an old man on the side, felt that the chaos created by this invasion that almost exhausted the power of the entire grassland should last for a long time, and he could take the opportunity to swallow the forces of the Demon Xiang Sect and the Extinguishing Dao here.

During this period, the schizophrenia was divided into three personalities, and he had to find ways to return to his normal self, and he should also lie dormant for a while, observing the changes in the situation in the Central Plains, and only testing at the critical moment.

The "Immortal Seal Method" has been sublimated into a new "Immortal Demon Seed", and his cultivation has greatly improved, and his lifespan should always be longer than that of Zhao Qing, who came out after I don't know how many years of retreat, right? As soon as the other party appears, he can cooperate with Xiang Yutian, and it is likely that he is a figure from a similar era.

At the beginning, he could spend twenty years to survive the Sui Dynasty, and even if the Turks lost and lost miserably in this battle, it was a big deal to spend hundreds of years in hiding and hiding, and she would also be lost.

Just as Shi Zhixuan was secretly thinking in his heart, he was retreated by Bi Xuan, Jieli and others, who secretly held the succession ceremony, and came to the dense forest to be ordered to search for the source of the cough just now, dozens of feet above Wolf Mountain, the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan transparent Yuan Shen was staring at his figure tightly.

In the sight of this Demon Gate Holy Ancestor, the usurpation of power, the trust of the wolf god, the crossing of the river by 100,000 golden wolf troops, etc., are not a big deal, Shi Zhixuan, a special individual with schizophrenia, really attracted his attention, and it was also the reason why he came here.

In his opinion, Shi Zhixuan's body used to live two different soul gods, which were surprisingly well coordinated, although it still inevitably formed his complex and contradictory personality, but it also made him live a more colorful life than others, knowing how to introspect, and his emotional fluctuations were particularly intense.

But now, these two soul gods were squeezed elsewhere by the third newly emerging soul god, and then forced to merge and grow with each other under pressure, suppressing the latter in turn, but they began to show their advantages and began to split again, so that they often reverted, which seemed strange, and developed his spiritual ideas to a depth and breadth.

Carefully observing this excellent experimental object, until sunrise and sunset, the day had passed, and the main army of the Turks sent the supplies of men and horses to the Houtao Plain on the opposite bank by means of the rafts that had been set up, and a small number of people remained on the west bank, where the altar under the wolf stone was located, and cut down wood and set up a village.

Although a coup d'état had only taken place and it would take some time to restore stability, the Houtao Plain was now completely and absolutely under the control of the Turkic armies, which allowed them to gain a foothold south of the Great River, which was strategically invulnerable.

In the sunset, the river is neither like the clear and graceful of the source, nor the turbidity of the downstream area, but the white waves are surging, carrying the momentum, and there is a great and mighty and unstoppable generality.

The Turkic wolf army is bound to attack, and the departure of the forward troops is likely to take place within a day or two, which is the consistent style of the Turkic people to march day and night.

……

Due to the limited time for traveling, Cangxuan's Yuan Shen silently left the Wolf Mountain area, headed towards the southeast, and returned to his physical body after half an hour, which turned out to be a small courtyard in Daxing City, and even near Xijiyuan.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door of the small courtyard, and a young man outside greeted him: "Uncle Qu, as the deputy director of the Lingmai mecha manufacturing project, you have been at home on sick leave for the past two days, which has reduced our work efficiency by several percent. ”

"For this reason, Master Lu sent me to specially send the elixir and tonic to cure all diseases, I hope you will recover soon, recover your spirit and rejoin your work!"

Without a sound response to the young man outside the courtyard, Heavenly Demon Cangxuan's heart moved slightly, and he unlocked the acupuncture points of the old man who was lying on the bed in a comatose state, and then took out a simple picture album from the sleeve of his robe and placed it on the table next to the bed.

In the light of the setting sun at the window, you can clearly see that there are a few large characters written on the outermost part of this album, "Oracle Bone Diagram Interpretation", which is a password that can be used to crack the large amount of text content in front of the seven pictures of the Immortal Formula, and it is also the price he paid after replacing someone else's identity here for a period of time.

The method of "longevity" is closely related to "light" and vitality, and the refining of the three lights of the sun, moon and stars is transformed into the vibrant side of the five elements of yin and yang, so as to have the effect of maintaining health and prolonging life.

However, the most mysterious part of this skill is that it is further extended from "light" to the realm of "time", and the effect of "immortality" is achieved by delaying the time that consciousness is subjected to, and it is necessary to combine it with the oracle bone inscription in it to have the possibility of comprehension.

Like the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan, who lived a long life from the Western Han Dynasty to today, although most of the time he was in a state of dormancy and unconscious, he also relied on the magic effect of the "Longevity Formula" to a large extent, otherwise he would have died long ago without breaking and ascending.

Sneaking into the research institute and learning about the amazing potential that Zhao Qing had unearthed from the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa, he was also quite surprised, and found that the things developed in it were more profound than his own creator, even if he even looked at it, it took a long time to understand.

Therefore, Cang Xuan specially left a note on the "Recipe for Longevity", hoping to see the further development of this work, and then quietly left this small courtyard, ready to change to another new identity.
