On the sixth day of the first month of the 21st year of Wanli, 40,000 Ming soldiers came to the city of Pyongyang.

Li Rusong inspected the army lined up in an offensive formation on his horseback, and he was in high spirits. With a wave of his hand, 4,000 Liaodong iron horsemen trampled on the snow-covered wilderness like a plough, locking up the battlefield west of Pyongyang. The firearms soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the Southern Army assembled all the Franc cannons, filled the fire guns with pills, and lined up in several columns to follow up, and he could imagine the next grand battle with 10,000 cannons. At this moment, he knew that his name Li Rusong would live forever in history.

But just when Li Rusong turned his gaze to the city of Pyongyang, which was destined to be crushed by artillery fire, his confident smile suddenly froze, and his expression was even a little stunned.

At this time, I saw that the city of Pyongyang was lit up with lights, the city gate was wide open, and more than 100 Japanese people dressed in colorful clothes and lined up in a strange formation actually swaggered in front of the city wall. Looking at it, those Japanese people in colorful clothes were actually young boys and girls, and their expressions didn't look like they knew that this place was going to turn into a bloody battlefield next!

What's going on!

Li Rusong looked back at the generals behind him who also had strange expressions, raised his whip and pointed at the young men and girls of the Japanese Kingdom who were wearing flowers and branches, and then pointed at the generals, and for a while he didn't know what to say about the heroic words of battlefield mobilization.

Shen Weijing rode his donkey, came to the front of the battle, and when he saw the battle of the Japanese people, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly turned down the donkey and shouted: "Admiral Li, this is a successful plan of humble duties, and Governor Konishi still thinks that our army is here to negotiate peace, and this is a ceremony to welcome the Admiral into the city." ”

When the generals heard this, they looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly they all burst into laughter.

"Negotiate peace?" Li Ning, who had been beaten by the military stick for a long time and was jumping around, laughed and said: "I pressed the little lady on the kang and stripped off my clothes, and when I was ready to fight with real knives and guns, I actually wanted to worship heaven and earth?

When the generals heard this, they laughed unscrupulously and shouted in unison: "Let's talk about it! Say it again!"

Li Rusong didn't expect that the good pre-battle mobilization would be turned into a meat joke by Li Ning's gang, he glared at Li Ning fiercely, and then glanced at Shen Weijing with great meaning, turned around, and looked at Pyongyang City, which was full of lights and colorful clothes. Holding his breath and concentrating, he finally waved his hand and said loudly: "Attack!"

The military drums sounded, the war horses neighed, and the generals ordered their soldiers and horses to march towards the Pyongyang black cloud city according to the previous arrangement.

At this time, it was not only the Ming army that was confused, but also the Japanese army in Pyongyang. A short, well-dressed general of the Japanese army was also wandering around in front of the city tower and scolding his mother loudly. A young man in colorful clothes followed behind the Japanese general, and he was also at a loss.

The general of the Japanese army looked at the advancing Ming army, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the collar of the young man in colorful clothes and said: "Didn't your master say that he had already laid down the Qimen formation in front of Pyongyang City, and was waiting for the Ming army to throw himself into the net, but what about others? What about others? Could it be that if he is not there, this Qimen formation will not work? Do you want our Yamato warriors to hide in the city and wait for the Ming army to attack the city?"

According to the plan, it was supposed to take advantage of the Ming army to harvest the lives of the Ming army after they were trapped in the formation, but at this time, an accident appeared, and the great mage of Jiawei, who presided over the formation, actually disappeared, which made the Japanese army at a loss.

The young man in colorful clothes looked helplessly at Governor Konishi in front of him, and then helplessly looked at the hundred junior brothers and sisters under the city, and finally said helplessly: "Since Archmage Jiawei can't preside over the formation, then we, the junior brothers and sisters, can't resist the attack of the army, let's let them enter the city, as for what to do after that, I think Archmage Jiawei will explain to the general." ”

Konishi really wanted to cut off the young man's head with a knife, but when he thought of his master's unpredictable spell, he finally gritted his teeth, put down the young man, and waved his hand to signal him to quickly recruit his junior brothers and sisters into the city.

At this moment, the war drums of the Ming army camp roared, the war horses neighed, and the Ming army attacked! According to this distance, I am afraid that before those young men and girls in colorful clothes enter the city, the cavalry of the Ming army will rush to the city.

At this moment, Governor Konishi's heart turned a few thoughts, but if he really wanted him to order the city gate to be closed, so that those young men and girls in colorful clothes would die under the Ming saber, he didn't dare, after all, the great mage of Najiawei valued his apprentices very much, for example, a few days ago, a samurai under his command did something to one of the female disciples, and he was made into a pulp by Najiawei with an unpredictable technique, and he couldn't even find a decent bone. Governor Konishi knew that if he really let his apprentices die outside the city, he knew that he might have to become a pile of meat puree. That Jiawei Archmage didn't even pay attention to his head Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

But at this time, strange things happened one after another, and the iron cavalry of the Ming army, which was about to rush straight towards the gate of Pyongyang, suddenly stopped his horse, pointed at those young men and girls of the Japanese country in colorful clothes and talked around, at a loss, no matter how the officials roared, they no longer charged at Pyongyang City, and actually began to circle around Pyongyang City a hundred feet away from Pyongyang City.

A Liaodong cavalryman who rushed to the front pointed at those young men and girls in colorful clothes and shouted to his colleagues: "Good girl, why are those dozen or so Japanese people floating in the air, and their feet are not sticky to the ground, it will not be really as General Zu said, the Japanese people have gods and ghosts to protect their bodies, and they are not easy to fight at all!"

When the sergeants looked at it, they saw that more than a dozen Japanese people around those clothed Japanese were actually half-floating in the air, although they were only a few feet above the ground, but they were indeed half-floating in the air.

The army's offensive is all one blow at a time, then declining, and then exhausted. After the Liaodong iron cavalry that formed the wedge formation pulled the offensive, although the follow-up cavalry did not know the situation, they also pulled the reins, and then they all pulled the reins of the war horses and swirled in place, shouting.

This strange picture made Li Rusong, who was watching the battle from afar, have a crooked nose, he has been fighting for decades, and has never encountered this kind of inexplicable war situation, but fortunately, the Qi family army on the left and right flanks has formed a situation of encirclement of Pyongyang City, the Qi family army started from fighting the Japanese invaders, and they are not afraid of the Japanese at all, although they feel that the situation in front of them is strange, but they still feel that it is just the Japanese people playing tricks, and they are still brave and brave, and they can rush to Pyongyang City without a cup of tea. But the Qi family army is the infantry in the end, there is no cavalry to charge quickly, such a delay, the Japanese side finally reacted, the young men and girls in colorful clothes ran to the city one after another, the Qi family army rushed to the front of the firecrackers hurriedly released a few shots, and only killed two young men in colorful clothes, the rest of them squeezed into Pyongyang City, and the city gate was slammed shut.

Well, the surprise attack is about to become a siege war.

Li Rusong, who was gritting his teeth, could only order the cavalry to retreat, and the infantry brought artillery and siege equipment to attack the northern city of the Peony Peak Heights.

However, the Japanese army in Beicheng was well defended, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Ming army was quickly repulsed by the Japanese army, and the Ming army withdrew and regrouped after a tentative attack. And the Japanese army was also in full battle and did not go out of the city to pursue.

As a result, the first general battle between the Ming army and the Japanese army ended in such a hurry.

"Whitch! It's a fucking shit!" the angry General Li Ning rushed into the general's tent after reprimanding his subordinates several times. Dozens of generals had already gathered in the military tent, and all of them were not good-looking.

Li Ning stood at the door of the military tent and spread his hands at the generals and said: "The little lady is lying on the kang and preparing to receive the benefactors, but your colleagues have become impotent before they can rub it, do you say that the nest is not a nest?"

All the generals are angry, how can they have the leisure to fight with Li Ning, and they don't care about him at all. Li Ning was about to say again, but unexpectedly he was kicked in the ass and fell into a dog eating shit. got up and was about to scold which Wang Ba calf was scolding, but when he saw Li Rusong walking into the big tent with a frosty face, he immediately got up and hid with a humble face, afraid that he would eat Admiral Li's military stick again.

Li Rusong looked around at these generals, looked at them with a look of surprise, and finally laughed angrily: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Generals, if the battle is like this, there should be nothing to say!"

The generals of the army stared wide-eyed, and finally a thousand households of the Liaodong army boldly said: "The Japanese people have unpredictable skills, and this battle is definitely not because the soldiers do not sell their lives, but..."

"Presumptuous! Spreading rumors before the battle to shake the hearts of the army, what kind of crime should be done!" Li Rusong's eyes widened, and the frightened Qianhu hurriedly knelt down to apologize. In the end, it was his own general, Li Rusong would not really engage in his military law, but changed the conversation and asked Wu Weizhong: "The Qi family army has been fighting against the Japanese for more than 40 years, have you encountered this strange thing today?"

Wu Weizhong hesitated for a moment and said: "The Japanese people are scheming, as early as the Jiajing period, they spread rumors that they are invulnerable, which provokes the officers and soldiers of the guards in the coastal area to fear the enemy like tigers. But since Qi Shaobao recruited troops to exterminate the Japanese Invaders, he has never seen the Japanese Invaders have unknown skills, they are all two arms and one head, really fighting, the short and short Japanese Invaders are not the enemy of our Ming soldiers, my Qi family army has fought hundreds of times with the Japanese Invaders, killing thousands of enemies and not a single casualty on their own side There are cases, the key is that the morale is strong, the sergeants use their lives, and today's strange thing must be that the Japanese are playing tricks on the mysteries, and they want to enter Pyongyang City, and everything will fall into place. ”

"Look! It's all two shoulders and one head, where are there so many things that gods and gods are talking about!" Li Rusong took Wu Weizhong's words and scolded the generals again. In fact, he also had doubts about this inexplicable war, but he had no choice, he had to reprimand the generals, after all, there were secret spies of Jinyiwei in the army, and if he really didn't think about it, I was afraid that the military report about the war would be sent to Emperor Wanli's case.

After the reprimand, Li Rusong inquired about the ambush and learned that it would arrive southwest of Pyongyang tomorrow night, and immediately decided to repair the day tomorrow and fight again on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

At this time, in a mountain col eight hundred miles north of Pyongyang City, Pei Lingyun and Wan Fayi were facing each other.

Pei Lingyun looked at Wan Fayi, who had a cold face in the Spirit Binding Array, and chuckled: "My Senior Brother Wan, I'm afraid you have forgotten that I am a personal disciple of Wu Village, unlike you, an outsider, the Wu Clan has all kinds of wonderful spells that are not known to outsiders, do you really think that you can bully me at will if you have reached the middle stage of foundation building? In the case of this Spirit Binding Array, I didn't exert ten percent of the power of the Spirit Binding Array in order to avoid you, but if you are aggressive, don't blame me for using all means!"

As soon as Wan Fa heard this, after thinking for a while, he took the magic weapon and no longer broke the formation, he said calmly: "It seems that I still underestimate Senior Sister Pei's methods, but this is also a good thing, at least let us both know that each other's strength is similar, and we can be less wary in the process of exploring treasures in the future." ”

"What's the matter, Senior Brother thinks it's all like this, can we still work together to explore the treasure?" Pei Lingyun sneered, but also collected the formation flag, and no longer drove the Spirit Binding Array to attack Wanfa Yi.

It turned out that Pei Lingyun was chased out of 800 miles by Wan Fayi, crossed the Yalu River, and entered the territory of Jianzhou Wei, the capital of Liaodong, and she set up a spirit binding array in a mountain col before entering the dynasty, after all, she knew the ins and outs of Zu Chengxun's almost complete annihilation in North Korea, and knew that it must be Wan Fayi who was making waves, and set up a complete set of spirit binding arrays, so as to have room for maneuver in the process of fighting with Wan Fayi.

Hearing Pei Lingyun's ridicule, Wan Fa said with the same expression: "I have been separated from my senior sister for twenty or thirty years, and the fighting method is also to understand Senior Sister Pei's cultivation, our cultivators are already respected by strength, since Senior Sister Pei has so many means to restrain me, then I will naturally not press forward step by step, so let's not force the teleportation order, just return the blood soul spirit snake taken from me to Senior Brother." ”

"Oh..."Pei Lingyun said noncommittally, "Give the spirit snake back to you, and you will no longer forcibly take the teleportation order?"

Wan Fa Yi: "Senior sister, you also know that this blood soul spirit snake is in pairs, the female snake has been raised by the senior sister for more than 20 years, and you should also know that the two snakes are no longer connected, even if the senior sister returns the spirit snake to the senior brother, it will take me ten years to regain the loyalty of the female snake, don't be afraid that I will use this spirit snake to deal with you again." Besides, the exercises that my sister majored in are not blood soul techniques, and I have to spend time looking for flesh and blood soul nourishment with this spirit snake, so it is better to return it to my senior brother, and the two of us will be safe from now on. ”

"The Blood Soul Spirit Snake can return you, but you have to swear to your Dao heart, if you continue to harbor ill intentions towards me and try in vain to seize the teleportation order, the path of cultivation will be cut off, and there will be no place to bury you. ”

Wan Fa's face changed and said: "Senior sister is really whimsical, the road to cultivation is already treacherous, today is a friend, tomorrow is an enemy, if I swear, then I will not be suppressed by you step by step?"

"Then I have nothing to say, senior brother, you can be lonely in this dojo star until you grow old! Senior sister, I will use the teleportation array to return to the cultivation world. Pei Lingyun's figure flashed, and he planned to leave.

"Haha, junior sister, don't be whimsical, in addition to needing a teleportation order to resist the spatial pressure formed by over-distance teleportation, you also need a medium-grade spirit stone with the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, do you think I will believe that you still have a medium-grade spirit stone now?one? or two?" Wan Fa saw that Pei Lingyun was going to leave, but he still said slowly with a calm face.

When Pei Lingyun heard this, he turned around and said, "Then how many mid-grade spirit stones do you have?"

Wan Fayi smiled faintly, patted the storage bag, and three crystal clear spirit stones flew out, suspended in front of him, and said, "Two wood attribute medium-grade spirit stones, and one fire attribute medium-grade spirit stone." ”

Pei Lingyun was silent for a moment and then said, "I only have a water attribute mid-grade spirit stone. ”

"Look, the spirit stones of the two of us together are still missing a medium-grade spirit stone with an earth attribute and a medium-grade spirit stone with a metallic nature. In this way, none of us can use the teleportation array to go back. Wan Fayi smiled bitterly.

"Now that the situation is clear, it seems that we still have to go to the Langyamen site, especially the spirit stone mine site, to find the missing medium-grade spirit stone. Wan Fayi continued: "Do you still insist on wandering alone with your junior sister now?"

"Swear, or I'd rather wander here for the rest of my life. Pei Lingyun said lightly.

Wan Fa's face was gloomy, and after a long time, he slowly replied: "I can swear, but I must add a time limit, starting from today, I will not use force on my junior sister for five years to seize the teleportation order." ”

"Ten years!"

"Seven years!"

"Yes. ”

In this way, Wan Fa swore word by word to his Dao heart: "From today on, if my Wan Fa has evil intentions towards my junior sister Pei Lingyun within seven years, and tries in vain to seize the teleportation order, the path of cultivation will be cut off, and there will be no place to bury him!"

The path of cultivating the truth, especially paying attention to the Dao heart, the higher the cultivation, the more dare not swear at will, otherwise if the oath is violated, it is extremely easy to be eaten by the demons in the process of advancement, and it is precisely because of the piety of the heart of ten thousand laws and one cultivation, coupled with the cultivation of the middle stage of the foundation, so Pei Lingyun asked him to swear to the Dao heart. If the other party only has the cultivation of the Qi cultivation period, then the oath has no effect at all. And Wan Fa Yi is also more important in time, after all, he may not know what will happen to Pei Lingyun in the future, and make a seven-year oath, at least to ensure that if he attacks him after seven years, he will not violate the oath.

"Okay, the oath is over, senior sister can let senior brother out. Wan Fa smiled with a smile.

"Hmph" Pei Lingyun sneered, raised the array flag and withdrew the spirit binding array. Then he threw the spirit beast bag on his belt to Wan Fayi, which contained the blood soul spirit snake that he had taken from Wan Fa.

A hint of joy flashed on Wan Fayi's face, who took the spirit beast bag, and after checking that the spirit snake was safe, he flew over to Pei Lingyun and said, "I don't know what Senior Sister plans to do next, do you want to continue to mix with mortal soldiers?"

Pei Lingyun retreated a few feet and said, "What qualifications do you have to ridicule me? Aren't you also driven by mortals in the same way? You also charged into battle for the people of the Japanese country and slaughtered the mortal army with the formation of the cultivation realm! Isn't it because you are no longer in the cultivation realm, you can not be suppressed by those cultivation sects, and you want to show off your spells in front of mortals and win the rewards of mortals, right?

"Haha, Senior Sister Pei is wrong to blame Senior Brother, slaughtering the Ming Army for those Japanese people in the formation, not to inform Senior Sister Yu Pei of her traces, I think this dojo star is not big, it is not small, it is not as big as a dozen Zhao countries on land alone, if Senior Brother has been incognito, then in another hundred years, Senior Sister may not be able to find me. ”

"Senior sister, don't worry, when I go back this time, I will find a secluded place to prepare for the treasure exploration in three years, senior brother has collected more than a hundred spiritual root owners in the past few years, just urging them to cultivate is a headache, where will I mix with mortals again?"

"How is it, Senior Sister Pei, where will we gather together to explore the treasure together after three years?"

"The three-year period remains unchanged, and today, three years later, the Ming Dynasty Suzhou Mansion Tianchi Mountain will meet again. Pei Lingyun smiled without saying a word, and then put the Spirit Binding Array into the storage bag, and the imperial weapon rose into the sky, turning into a streamer of light, and headed south.

Wan Fayi squinted, looked at the streamer of Pei Lingyun's departure, and muttered, "Seven years, right? Okay, I'll let you go for another seven years." ”
