"Who is this person?" asked Yu Qi in a low voice to the scribe next to him.
The scribe and scribe thought for a while, and then opened his mouth to report the other party's name: "This person's name is Zhang Hao, he is a loose cultivator from Junzhou, and he is familiar with that person Yan Chixia, and he only came to the military tent last night to sign up." General, do you need me to summon him for questioning?"
"Oh," Yu Qi groaned when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Forget it, it will take at least half a month for us to go to sea this time, let's wait and see, I hope he will not disappoint General Ben." ”
General Yu Qi recruited dozens of loose cultivators this time, and specially set aside barracks in the barracks, and entertained them with good wine and meat, which seemed to be respectful. But for these loose cultivators, Yu Qi's heart is actually very complicated, and in a nutshell, it is "use their ability to doubt their hearts". This is also the attitude of the people in the government towards cultivators, awe mixed with uneasiness, in the end, this is an era of Taoist manifestation.
The Taoist named Zhang Hao in front of him looked extraordinary, standing in the crowd of scattered cultivators as if he stood out from the crowd, such a figure was by no means unknown, but he had never heard of it before.
It is very likely that this person is not a casual cultivator, but from the Taoist Academy, and he is just hiding his identity at the moment. In order to exterminate the pirates, he repeatedly went to the Taoist Temple to ask for help, but he was rejected, and now he secretly sent people here, what is the purpose, it is very doubtful.
Thinking of this section, General Yu Qi forced the joy in his heart and did not let his subordinates summon the other party to come.
Afraid of alarming everyone, Yu Qi didn't continue to look at it, and led the scribe to leave quietly.
A simple competition, but there was a huge movement, which was naturally not Chang Jin's original intention. But once the matter happened, it was too late for him to regret it, so he simply accepted it calmly.
In the morning, the military tent where he and Yan Chixia lived was as lively as a bazaar, and from time to time cultivators came to visit and secretly inquire about where the two came from.
For this kind of person, Chang Jin has a sentence about the secret affairs of the master and cannot be informed.
Of course, there are also people who are quite disdainful of Chang Jin's swordsmanship, no matter how powerful the swordsmanship is, in their eyes, it is not comparable to the Taoist supernatural powers.
Tomorrow is about to go to sea to face the evil gods and demons, and many loose cultivators have to prepare magic weapons and talismans. In the afternoon, the tent finally fell silent.
"Yunsheng, the commotion you made this time is a bit big. Sending off the last few fellow practitioners, Yan Chixia took a breath and said.
"yes, I didn't expect that to happen. Chang Jin replied with the sword in his hand, carefully experiencing the cheerful aura of the sword. In the competition just now, he gained a lot, and the connection between his mind and the sword became more intimate, and he felt like he was one.
"Earlier, I also said that there are not many cultivators who have passed the sword technique, but now it seems that the foolish brother is still a little underestimated. Yun Sheng has excellent talent in swordsmanship, if he doesn't talk about magic skills, only swordsmanship, Yun Sheng is afraid that he is already the first in the world. Yan Chixia sighed with emotion.
"Brother Yan, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. I, a cultivator in the realm of ghosts and immortals, how can I be qualified to be the first in the world, and I must not mention it again. Speaking of kendo, I don't think I'm so talented that it's just a coincidence that I can use the sword just now. Chang Jin waved his hand again and again, humbly said.
"Yunsheng, it's not that the foolish brother deliberately praised you, but he felt a lot of emotion. Yan Chixia's words did not stop, "My master once said, 'If you are extremely poor all your life, and if you do the things you want to do to the extreme, you can enter the Tao.'" Practicing with a sword in hand seems very simple, which cultivator has not done it. But Ruoyun Sheng has never heard of this.
I remember when we joined forces to exterminate the Venerable in the next life, you once said that you were bent on seeking the sword and did not borrow other magic weapons. At the time, I didn't think so, but when I saw it today, I realized that Yunsheng had taken a different path of cultivation. Yunsheng, as long as you persevere, it is estimated that you will not be far from the avenue. ”
"Borrowing Brother Yan's auspicious words" Chang Jin smiled faintly and said: "Since ancient times, it is easy to cultivate the Tao, but it is difficult to seek the Tao, how can it be so easy to set foot on the Great Road." And the Taoist ancestor also once said that there are three thousand Taoisms, and the Taoism cannot be counted. If you don't go to the last step, who knows if you want to get it. All we can do is find a path and keep going. ”
"Yes" Hearing him mention the Taoist ancestor, Yan Chixia also sighed with some emotion: "It is easy to cultivate the Tao, but it is difficult to seek the Tao, and we cultivators do it and cherish it." ”
After chatting for a few more words, Chang Jin opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Yan, I don't know much about the evil gods and demons of the Fuyu Kingdom, I wonder if Brother Yan can tell me in detail?"
When I met Yan Chixia yesterday, due to time constraints, the other party did not tell in detail about the various Shinto ways of Buyeo Country, but only said that there was an evil god behind the pirates.
In Chang Jin's opinion, since these evil gods can support pirates for more than ten years, they must have their own merits, so it is better to make more preparations.
"Buyeo country is thousands of miles away from my Dayan Dynasty, separated by the Bisha Sea in the middle, because the Buyeo country is small, the people's livelihood is down, and in addition to the perennial war, so few people in the Dayan Dynasty travel there, only maritime merchants will come and go by boat. It is because of the various Shinto in Buyeo that I know very little about the Taoism of the Dayan Dynasty. As far as I know from the secret texts, Buyeo Shinto is a system of its own, and there are as many as 8 million gods. ”
"Eight million, so many?" Hearing this, Chang Jin looked stunned.
In the entire Dayan Dynasty, there were only more than 100,000 righteous gods who were enshrined by the Taoist Academy, and even if you count those grass-headed gods who did not have edicts, they were at most million. The land area of Buyeo Kingdom is less than one-tenth of that of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the population is not even one percent of the Great Yan Dynasty, and there are eight million gods, which sounds a little unimaginable
You must know that the evil sacrifice is obscene and the loser, so many gods are spread on the heads of the people of Buyeo country, and I don't know how much incense and mental power have been sucked away. Buyeo has been in war for many years, and I am afraid that too many gods are worshipped is one of the reasons.
"Hehe, Yunsheng doesn't have to be afraid, the Shinto of Buyeo Country is chaotic, the gods are mixed, there is no distinction between good and evil, and it is extremely chaotic" Seeing that her companion's face showed a different color, Yan Chixia spoke calmly: "Buyeo is an island country, with perennial natural disasters, and evil spirits are rampant, so it is easy to breed ghosts and demons from all walks of life." In the hearts of the Buyeo people, these ghosts and demons have supernatural powers, so they are also worshipped as gods. said that it is a god, but I am afraid that it is not as good as an ordinary demon. ”
"I see," Chang Jin suddenly snapped.
Eight million gods, this is a statement that sounds surprising indeed. But to put it bluntly, in fact, the people of Fuyu Country do not distinguish between good and evil, regardless of evil ghosts and demons, cats and dogs can be called gods. According to such an algorithm, the Great Yan Dynasty can easily make up tens of millions of gods.
The jousting was just a small episode, and tomorrow the army was about to go to sea, so the whole barracks were busy. From time to time, sergeants came and went, shouting loudly.
Chang Jin had no intention of cultivating, so he simply turned out a volume of Taoist scriptures and pondered carefully.
There was no word all night, and at dawn, the sound of the snare drum suddenly sounded, waking up the sleeping people completely. For the drumming in the army, Chang Jin has a little understanding, a drum, a war meal; Two drums, tight robes.
Now the drums are beating, but before the expedition, the army is fed and then boarded in procession.
When Chang Jin walked out of the military tent, he saw dozens of men carrying steaming cauldrons in the open space of the barracks, and then beckoned the surrounding sergeants to line up to eat.
Chang Jin looked at it, the food boiled in the cauldron is simple, the dish is nothing more than some sea fish and shrimp and wild vegetables stewed, this place is close to the river and the sea, and there are fish and shrimp in the water, so these ingredients are not difficult to get. In addition, there is a large bowl of brown rice per person, I don't know if it is cooked, and there is a lot of chaff on it.
However, their diet is naturally different from that of the sergeants, although the meals are also fish, shrimp and rice, but in terms of appearance, they are much more elaborate, and they are directly sent by the sergeants to the military tents.
Half an hour after eating, the sergeant who had delivered the meal earlier summoned them out of the tent and brought them to the tent.
At this moment, a big man with a dark face and a height of more than seven feet was already standing outside the military tent and waiting. This person's name is Lu Pingyi, and he is a powerful general under General Yu Qi.
Seeing the arrival of a group of scattered cultivators, Lu Pingyi hurriedly greeted him, hugged his fists and said: "Hello everyone, the army is about to start, this general is ordered by General Yu to pick you up and board the ship, and by the way, take care of the daily needs of all real people on the way." ”
It is said that these scattered cultivators are all equipped with strange skills, and they will have to contribute when they fight against the evil gods and monsters later, which is because Lu Pingyi is quite respectful to them in his words.
Four or five miles outside the city, there is the bank of the Qingliu River. At this moment, on the clear river, more than 30 large ships are neatly arranged, this is the sailor of General Yu's expedition to pirates.
The big ship is more than ten zhang long, three zhang wide and three zhang high, divided into three layers, the cabin is equipped, quite spectacular.
Chang Jin followed everyone to the dock, and couldn't help but look at this scene. But he saw more than thirty large ships in a row, spread out for three or four miles. The sails are lined up, covering the sky and the sun, and the mighty and mighty, like a big dragon going out to sea, which makes people daunting.
Such a formation is very difficult to see in the Inner 6.
Knowing that General Yu was going to lead a large army to exterminate the pirates today, the people nearby rushed to the wharf to see each other off, and for a time the whole wharf was very lively and full of people.
After the monks boarded a large ship alone, and each had his own cabin, the rest of the sailors began to board the ship, and in less than half an hour thousands of troops had already boarded the ship. As the flag fell, the warship pulled out and sailed downstream.
When the big ship started, the letter flags of each ship waved again and again, and the shouting of the ships continued. Most of the seafaring fleets use flag language, mainly because the sea is high and rough, and the ships cannot communicate with each other by manpower, so they can only communicate with each other by letter flags.
After Chang Jin boarded the ship, he did not enter the cabin to meditate, but stood on the bow of the ship to watch the scenery, at this moment his divine consciousness was thrown above the fleet, only to see the slightest red white breath coming out of the void, strong and abnormal, and finally gathered into a red Jiao, with teeth and claws, and the momentum was high, and he went straight towards the direction of the Bisha Sea.
Sensing it carefully, I saw that the white gas on both sides of the Qingliu River flowed into the dragon's body, making it continue to expand, and finally there was a trace of blood on its body.
Chang Jin had already seen a similar scene, so he was not surprised, he understood that this red Jiao was originally a piece of luck, and the slightest trace of white gas was the expectation of the people on both sides of the strait.
They have been plagued by pirates for a long time, and they are eager to destroy them this time.
If the heart is sincere, it will naturally offer incense and mental power.
