Chapter 97: No Victory

On the city, the smoke curls like flowing water.

Light and ethereal smoke and dust billowed down, and in an instant, flowed in the clearing below, forming a fragrance like a cloud shrouded in mist, which at first glance looked like a mountain mist.

Some people are discouraged, they don't know what it is, and they don't dare to get into it.

But there were already comrades in front of them, and the officers were not willing to let the offensive stop, and immediately reprimanded: "Keep going, don't stop!"

The military order is like a mountain, don't say it's just unknown smoke, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, you have to rush forward.

When everyone heard this, they all continued to move forward, and rushed into it without fear of death.

Soon, the mist floated over by itself, like life, and in the blink of an eye, more and more people were shrouded in it.

Zhao Yi and the others naturally saw this scene, and their eyes moved slightly: "What is that?"

"I don't know, but anyway, just let the soldiers go. ”

"Judging from the style of Li Zhen's actions yesterday, it doesn't look like a personality who likes to kill, so he shouldn't poison people to death. ”

They still had a little bit to speculate, but soon, something completely unexpected happened.

The soldiers who had been caught in the smoke quickly stopped.

One by one, they felt like they had entered a smoky fairyland, and an indescribable strange fragrance wafted out.

"What does it smell like?"

"It's a little fragrant......"

This fragrance is as empty as an orchid, as light as ink, the texture is completely different from those rich and fragrant things, and there is no refreshing effect of mint, but it inexplicably makes people feel peaceful, quiet and natural.

Under this fragrance, it is as if the troubles and sorrows of the world are far away, leaving only emptiness.

More and more soldiers looked confused, and their originally high fighting spirit melted like ice and snow, and they could no longer raise their energy.

"What are you doing, so bold, dare to disobey military orders?"

Seeing this scene from afar, the commander of the army was furious, and ordered his own soldiers around him to beat the war drums more heavily, urging the rhythm of the attack with a more intensive drum beat.

Opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting, and if an effective offensive echelon is not formed, it will be a wave of refueling.

Isn't that a free giveaway?

People who didn't really fall into the fragrance couldn't experience that kind of dazed at all, but the soldiers on the front line quickly threw away their armor and retreated one after another.

"Don't fight, don't fight!"

"Life is precious, why fight and kill!"

"I want to go home and farm. ”

Seeing the reaction of everyone in the city, Li Zhen was overjoyed, and secretly pleased: "It's successful!"

"Huayan Sutra" contains: There is incense in the sea, the name is invincible, if you use drums, gongs, and snails, its sound is issued to deter the enemy.

In the "Incense Vehicle", it is called the invincible incense, which is a classic incense that can change the enemy's mind and dispel hostility.

As early as half a year ago, Li Zhen controlled the cherished incense, and he had already had the idea of refining this incense, but he failed to try it due to his own knowledge and resources at hand.

Unexpectedly, this time the ancestor was recruited and went to Lingfeng, and he found some inventory related to it in the treasure house, which can obviously change people's spiritual will and make them war-weary.

Naturally, this point was found by Li Zhen after obtaining the essence of the book and communicating with him with his divine thoughts.

In addition, Li Zhen also began to look for the kind of Miqin wine that he had thought of before, and refined the magic incense.

He had a clue now, but he hadn't been able to find it in the Xuanxin Peak Treasury for the time being.

"How useful are those mortals, who have become war-weary, so distracted by the scent?"

"It's really good, in this way, even if the Shengyuan Kingdom has thousands of troops, it will not be able to attack it. ”

Zhou Cheng and Yi Yi helped to find auxiliary materials, and on the way to come, they also saw Li Zhen concoct it smoothly, and the incense and smoke were packed into the gourd, so they also knew a little about it, and couldn't help but show surprise.

Li Zhen was not without regrets: "It's a pity that this thing is not very useful to monks!"

Moreover, it needs to use spiritual materials to reconcile, that kind of coral branch is a product of the sea, although it is not a stream, but even the ancestor does not have much collection in his hands, otherwise, every time there is a war, this incense will be used, wouldn't the world be peaceful?"

It's a pity that he also knows that this kind of idea is just a thought, and it is not appropriate to actually operate.

Let's not refine the problem of cost, time and energy, that is, it can really be popularized, and do you really think that this will eliminate the scourge of swordsmen?

Hatred between men will not be extinguished, nor will disputes over land and wealth cease to be dissolved.

The roots of the war are still there, and this is only a matter of moving the contradictions forward.

But as far as what you see, it's enough to be amazed.

The Shengyuan Kingdom side quickly realized that this was not the soldiers on the front line who were slacking off and afraid of death, but that they had been hit by a spell, and hurriedly Mingjin withdrew his troops and withdrew the people.

An attack ceased.

After being asked, several monks couldn't help but look at each other: "Don't you want to fight? What kind of witchcraft is this?"

The disciple of Shengyuan Peak looked at Zhao Yi: "Senior Brother Zhao, do you know which sect has such demonic arts?"

Zhao Yi shook his head and wondered: "I've heard a lot of demagoguery and instigating fighting, but it's really unheard of to eliminate hostility and restrain killing intent!"

"These mortal soldiers have no fighting spirit at all, even if they are forced to rush forward, they are just sent to death in vain, what should I do?"

Zhao Yi said: "Wait a few more hours, it's a big deal tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, sooner or later, it will return to normal!"

"I don't believe that this thing can change their minds for a lifetime!"

As it turned out, Zhao Yi's guess was right, and after just one night, those affected mortal pawns returned to normal.

Their IQ and memory were not affected at all, but they were ashamed and panicked by yesterday's retreat.

Strictly speaking, that is disobeying the military order and will be killed!

"Dashuai, today we will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy, please give me a chance to make meritorious contributions!"

Everyone knelt down in panic and took the initiative to ask for battle.

The commander of the Shengyuan Kingdom gladly agreed: "Yes, I will give you another chance today, if it fails, you will be punished heavily!"

So the crowd attacked again.

At the head of the city, everyone watched the enemy army surging in waves, and couldn't help but be moved.

They all looked hideous, scrambling to be the first, as if they were not facing the stone walls of the fortified city, but the mountains of gold and silver, and whoever grabbed it first was whoever stood.

Zhou Cheng exclaimed: "Is this the momentum of the mortal army?"

Li Zhen said: "Although the monk is strong, but the qi refining realm power is only one person, and he has no ability to renew his limbs, or even reborn with blood, and it is difficult to survive if he is shot into a hedgehog by arrows.

If you really want to ignore mortals, you still have to rely on magic weapons or the power above the foundation. ”

Zhou Chengdao: "Even if you build a foundation here, you have to be in a dilemma, after all, killing too much will hurt the peace of the heavens, and sooner or later you will have to be robbed......"

The Heavenly Dao once again formed a closed loop of contradictions.

Qi refining cultivators have a short lifespan, even if they know cause and effect and know the principle of the formation of calamities, they may not care so much, and killing will kill life.

The foundation is above the long-term consideration, and the hands are not willing to be bloody.

Mortals are willing, they are willing to be driven by fame and fortune, and strive for their own interests, which is the self-improvement and self-reliance allowed by the way of heaven, even if there is cause and effect, it can also be eliminated by the fate of sentient beings.

The torrent of humanitarian luck can be seen here.

In the face of these soldiers who came up, what Li Zhen felt in his heart was not their intention to fight and fight, nor was he afraid of their force, but the spirit of striving for progress in order to support himself, his family, and even the feudal lord and worship the prime minister, which was the development of the times and the annexation of the country.

The upper echelons of the Shengyuan Kingdom may have launched an invasion for ambition, and these people may also be accomplices, but the right way in the world is to become a king and defeat a villain.

The public, long-term interest, is morality.

The loser will be wiped out of the country and the species, and maybe even the scalp will be removed to receive a reward, but the successful one can unify the universe and even become the light of civilization.

Win the king, defeat the king!

Such a fiery and terrifying torrent guides the life destiny and karmic karma of one sentient being after another to collide and compete fiercely here.

This is that no matter what is good or evil, good or evil, it is impossible to stop the torrent, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die.

"Such a brave soldier, once touched, it is cause and effect, and it is really not so easy to deal with!"

Seeing this, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but be moved: "These people are not pretending, they are really not afraid of death!"

When Lu Wencheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and explained: "As long as the Shengyuan State soldier kills one of the enemy soldiers, he can get a subordinate title and be awarded ten acres of land!"

Kill two people, you can pay for the sins of your family and buy slaves.

Kill three people, reward the house servants, and kill five people, and you can become a country landlord.

The commander is based on the strategy of victory, and the big and small generals have their own rewards.

The same is true for the inhuman generals, and the same is true for the generals who worship and kill the enemy, so the soldiers of the Shengyuan Kingdom are not afraid of death. ”

The day before yesterday, Zhao Yan, the young general of the Shengyuan Kingdom, even if he was just a fledgling, was now enough to change his court and become a nobleman, and this promotion capital was naturally based on the lives of the two generals under his command.

To be honest, he was a little envious of the other party's system......

When Li Zhen heard this, he thought it was true, but he had no way to promise to make any reforms and improve the treatment of the army.

He looked back at his soldiers, and the old and the weak, the sick and the disabled were already trembling, and their faces were frightened, as if they were facing man-eating beasts.

"It really doesn't seem to be useful. ”

Li Zhen couldn't order these people to be driven to fight, it was for nothing.

This is no longer a question of whether or not to be in charge of the army, this is a question of the system and strength.

But Li Zhen didn't count on these people in the first place.

He could now see that from the very beginning, the meaning of the existence of these mortal pawns was to be humane luck and counteract cause and effect.

You kill with a large army, and I will kill with a large army, and you don't have to do it yourself.

The monks hid in it, and in the name of accompanying the army, they were actually using humanity to cover themselves and prevent murder and robbery in the dark.

At first, I didn't know which powerful master discovered these principles and skillfully used them, and later generations followed suit, and it has become a precedent.

But now, Li Zhan seems to have found a way to crack it without relying on mortal pawns.

No Katsuka!

He opened the gourd again and let out the aroma that he had stored in it.

On Xuanxin Peak, in order to prepare for possible consumption, Li Zhen installed most of the gourd in it, and after using it yesterday, it was far from exhausting.

While releasing these aromas, he secretly urged the various wonderful incense recipes, and turned them into aromas with his own spiritual power, and the whole person burned like firewood.

With the consumption of spiritual power, a large amount of the same incense emanated from its body, and everyone on its side was dizzy.

But more of it, still drifting down with the wind.

"Here we go again!"

"It's not good, cover your mouth and nose!"

The people of Shengyuan are not stupid, after suffering losses yesterday, they all learned well, and immediately took out strips of cloth, or covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, and continued to rush.

It's just that they still need to breathe, and no mortal physical fitness can be strong enough to run a distance of hundreds of feet without breathing, and they can climb the city tower in one go and siege the city.

Even if there are occasional aliens whose physical functions are far superior to those of mortals, they also dare not kill them single-handedly.

The army of Xuanxin Country is sparse and good, but no matter how sparse it is, it is also an army.

Swords and arrows have no eyes, and that is really likely to be fatal.

Soon after, everyone fell into confusion and retreated again.

"What a bummer!"

"What kind of play is this, is there really no way to take them?"

A few monks were so angry that if it weren't for this twist and turn, they might have already attacked it and started to reward them for their deeds.

Zhao Yi looked at the city from afar, and his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character: "If this continues, Xuanxin's reinforcements will rush over, and Qishui Pass will be already strong, and it will be even more difficult for our army to capture it!"

The junior disciple of the same sect proposed: "Can we bypass the gate and raid the hinterland......

Zhao Yi shook his head and said: "It's meaningless, but it provokes karma in vain......"

The fellow disciple clenched his fists: "Damn! I must find a way to break his battle!"

But the way is not to say that you just want to think about it, on the third day, Zhao Yi and others continued to try, and even divided a few forces to try and lure, wanting to wait for Li Zhen to release the fragrance before running back quickly, but they were still caught up, and then most of the people were infected.

This method of not killing and robbing directly messed up the mentality of Zhao Yi and others, and the three scattered cultivators and many strangers who were eager to make meritorious contributions couldn't help but scold.

They didn't know that at this moment, a void spirit was as empty as smoke, floating to the camp to investigate the situation.

Li Zhen can go out of his body, how can he abandon this cheating method?

However, he had a lot of plans and did not want to turn himself into an assassin who came and went without a trace, so he restrained his desire to make a move.

The result really didn't disappoint him, as soon as he came this time, he heard Zhao Yi and others discussing countermeasures.

Suddenly, a foul stench emerged, like the smell of a rotting corpse rising from one of the cultivators.

He said to the crowd, "I have a plan to break this situation." ”

"Oh, what is the best plan for Daoyou?"

The scattered cultivator smiled proudly and coldly spit out four words: "Set fire to the city!"
