The exchange of captives went very smoothly, every time the Divine Sect monk came to the Earth Immortal Realm, the red boy first sealed the other party's cultivation, and when the twenty Earth Immortal Realm came in turn, Li Ye returned Yelu Abaoji to the other party.

Returning to his own people, Yelu Abaoji breathed a sigh of relief, and before leaving, he said to Li Ye: "His Royal Highness King An, we will definitely meet again." You'll have to be careful, because I'm going to take you down!"

When he said this, although he did not have a bitter and hateful expression, he also looked solemn and serious.

Speaking of which, Yelu Abaoji met with Li Ye twice, and suffered a lot of losses, and he lost several great monks in Hedong, and this time he lost twenty people in the Earth Fairyland, not counting the casualties in the previous battle, it can be said that he was very aggrieved and miserable.

Li Ye was in a good mood now, and said with a smile: "The first time you let you run, the second time you fell into my hands, according to this trend, if we really have a third meeting, then you will definitely die." ”

Yelu Abaoji took a deep breath, didn't fight more, and saluted Li Ye: "Then there will be a period later, His Royal Highness King An." ”

After that, with the help of the Heavenly Immortal Realm monks of the Divine Sect, Yelu Abaoji and the others left the border of the Tang Dynasty in the north and disappeared from everyone's sight in the night.

Seeing that the other party was walking away, Li Ye withdrew his gaze, looked around the border pass, was silent for a moment, and said to the demon monk: "Collect the corpses of the soldiers and restore the border pass." ”

The Gubeikou border pass has been damaged by the Great War and has been unrecognizable. The big pit smashed by Yelu Abaoji directly damaged the barracks. However, for the demon clan monks who have many immortal realms, repairing the border pass is just a matter of convenience.

There were thousands of soldiers stationed at the border gates, and most of them died at the hands of the Divine Cult monks, and more than one in ten were lucky enough to save their lives. Most of them were ordinary armor warriors, and the highest cultivation level was only at the high level of Qi cultivation, and they didn't have the ability to save their lives in front of the Divine Cult monks at all.

Most of the survivors were injured, and some even broke their hands and feet, Li Ye asked the demon monks to heal their injuries and went to condole. Of course, I also want to tell them that from now on, Youzhou, including the northern border passes, will be in charge of him Li Ye.

"Meet His Royal Highness King An!" Dozens of surviving soldiers at the border pass, after recovering from their injuries, came to salute Li Ye together. They all witnessed Fang Cai's immortal battle, and they threw themselves to the ground with the five bodies that Li Ye admired for determining the battle with a sword, even if the previous comrades died in battle, it did not prevent their excitement at the moment.

Because they know that the suffering that Gubeikou suffered tonight will not happen again in the future.

Li Ye pondered for a moment, and said to the red boy: "Take them all to Pinglu." ”

Red Boy said, "What are you taking to Pinglu for?"

Li Ye said: "I want to build a cultivation academy in Pinglu, recruit a wide range of disciples, teach cultivation methods, and let them serve on the battlefield in the future." ”

The red boy was stunned: "Do you really want to do this?"

Li Ye nodded.

He had been thinking about this for a long time.

Although there are hundreds of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, in fact, there are a few monks in the world, and the total is only a few hundred thousand people - Penglai Gui is one of the five great sects, and in the case of the troubled times coming to accept disciples in a big way, there are only a few thousand disciples.

In fact, there are far more people in the world who have cultivation qualifications, they just don't have a chance.

In the past, ordinary people without a family inheritance had only two ways to enter the door of cultivation, either to pass the imperial examination and obtain the Dao method issued by Qin Tianjian on behalf of the imperial court, or to take refuge in the Jianghu sect.

Under the deliberate control of the imperial court, the scale of the Jianghu sect is very small, and even the disciples of the Five Great Dao Sects are strictly limited in number.

Monks of the world, half-out officials. This is the means by which the imperial court controls the world.

Although in the troubled times, the imperial court's control over the world was no longer what it used to be, and the ranks of monks were greatly expanded, but this absolute number was still very small.

Monks represent strength, Li Ye in order to clear the universe, of course, to expand the team of monks, he has no intention of making a small fuss, then building a training academy is the best way.

"How large a training academy are you going to build?" asked the red boy.

Li Ye didn't hesitate: "At least it must be able to accommodate 100,000 people." Not only that, after the completion of the Pinglu Army Training Academy, with the corresponding experience, the same cultivation academy will be established in Hedong and Youzhou in the future. ”

Red Boy was stunned: "Do you want to bring all the people in the world who have cultivation qualifications under your command?"

Li Ye did not answer immediately.

He walked at the dilapidated juncture of the border pass, watching the surviving soldiers with the help of the demon monks, collecting the bodies of the dead soldiers, stroking the cold female wall with their palms, and finally came to the juncture, looking north.

The northern grasslands under the starry night are vast and quiet.

He spoke slowly: "Since ancient times, the country has been destroyed by weakness, and the Han Dynasty has died by strength. For many years, China's border troubles have been endless, but except for the Han Dynasty, it was others who came to attack us and invaded our land, and we passively defended, even if we won and drove out the invaders, the border people also suffered deeply. The Tang Dynasty also had a vast territory and fertile fields, and also placed the battlefield outside the borders, but after all, it was not as long as the Han Dynasty, and the reason for this was nothing more than that it was not strong enough. ”

His eyes sharpened a little: "I hope that from now on, the border battlefield will no longer be within the national border! I want the monks and army of the Tang Dynasty to fight outside the national border, and I want the people of the Tang Dynasty to no longer suffer from foreign invasions! If you want to do this, you can only strengthen yourself." Therefore, I want to have an army of millions of pure cultivators to go out to conquer outside the fortress, so that the alien races will be terrified, and they will not dare to look at the border of the Tang Dynasty!"

The red boy was stunned.

After a long time, he clapped his high-fives: "This kind of thing sounds like it makes people's blood boil, I really didn't misunderstand you, you guy is really the same person as me! The world is so big, peace is impossible to be peaceful, the conflict of interests does not stop for a moment, the killing will never stop, it is better to plunder the wealth of others than to wait for others to invade the border!"

Li Ye smiled, Red Boy was a warmonger, he knew it very well. He did not intend to plunder the wealth of others, nor did he intend to invade other people's land.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty wrote very clearly on the stele of Dinghu: All the sun and the moon shine on the Han land, and the rivers are all Hanchen!

He's just taking care of his own business.

......

The two looked at the Saibei grassland side by side, silent for a long time.

After a long time, the red boy suddenly said: "I once heard my father say that there are Taoist soldiers in the Immortal Court, which is their greatest means of sweeping the world, so strong that even the iron cavalry of Great Qin back then could not deal with it. It is rumored that this army is all monks, even after the Nether Realm, they are all cultivated well, and the armor and blades are all magic weapons, and the grade is still very high. If you really become powerful, the Immortal Court will send this army to the lower realm to help Zhu Wen win the world, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with. ”

It was the first time Li Ye had heard such a secret, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He had thought that the Immortal Court had not assassinated him for too long, and it was very likely that he was planning a big move, but now when he heard the words of the red boy, he suddenly woke up like a dream.

He asked in a deep voice, "How many people are there in this army?"

Red Boy thought for a moment, "I don't know. However, there should be a lot of them, otherwise it would not be called the Immortal Court's greatest reliance on controlling the world. But it shouldn't be too much, and the Nether isn't that easy. If it weren't for that, the Immortal Court would not have let the First Emperor Yingzheng destroy the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, dominate the world, and almost wipe out the Taoist monks. ”

Li Ye didn't feel much easier in his heart: "It seems that time is running out." ”

If Li Ye's idea of building an army of pure monks is realized, then leading this team with a soldier will greatly improve his combat power and become his hole card for dominating the world. But it will take time.

The red boy was disturbed, and he was a little worried: "Even if you build a cultivation academy and build an army of pure monks, you still have something to do with the Taoist soldiers. ”

Li Ye nodded: "I really don't have so many magic weapons, I can arm a million army." Don't talk about a million army, not even a hundred thousand army can be armed. Even if the craftsmen were organized to refine the tools, it was too hurried and difficult to solve the urgent need. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at the red boy: "The process of refining weapons in the mortal world, in the final analysis, is limited by the cultivation of monks, if it is a demon cultivator refining weapon, the speed should be much faster." Although your demon clan has helped me a lot, you always half-cover your face, and so far you have only sent me thousands of monks, although your cultivation is good, but this strength is too small, right?"

Red Boy sighed: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." ”

"Because of the Immortal Court?"

"If the Demon Clan's movement is too big and completely angers the Immortal Court, no one can guarantee that they will not make a move against the Demon Clan's homeland. You must know that the Immortal Court's means of suppressing the demon clan are not only in the battle, but also under its control. ”

"In this way, shouldn't the demon clan have perished a long time ago?"

"That's not it, the demon clan has not perished, it still exists in the world, which is the meaning of the Great Dao. Although the Immortal Court can suppress the demon clan, it is not so easy to really exterminate the demon clan. It's just that if the two sides completely tear their faces, and the Immortal Court desperately pays a heavy price, slaughtering the demon clan with suppressive means, so that the demon clan can't slow down for a thousand years, it can also be done. ”

Li Ye fell silent.

The world order is what it is now, and it naturally has its reasons.

Just when Li Ye thought that it would be impossible to make the demon clan come out, the red boy suddenly said: "If you achieve the immortal realm, you should go to our demon clan's homeland." ”

Li Ye said strangely: "What am I going to do?"

The red boy was kind and persuasive: "You don't want to form an army of pure monks? The demon clan can produce some monks and some magic weapons." ”

Li Ye smiled: "What you say is inconsistent. ”

The red boy looked dumbfounded, the meticulous work of being a lobbyist was not suitable for him, and he simply explained: "The demon clan has been waiting for someone, waiting for him to help us lift the suppression of the immortal court." ”

......

In the vast and boundless mountains, there is a beautiful scenery and a blessed land full of spiritual energy. The satin-like river meanders and rushes, scouring out large areas of fertile plains, bathing in the sunset and the fragrance of birds and flowers.

Ten thousand years ago, after the demon clan defeated the fairy domain, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Daomen, the leader of the demon clan at that time opened up an independent space in a corner of Kyushu on the basis of his lifelong cultivation, and became a world of his own, which was the native of the demon clan.

Although for thousands of years, this world was finally found by the Immortal Court, but the Dao Sect found in vain that at this time they could no longer destroy this world, and all they could do was suppress it.

Time has passed, the world has changed, the demon race has grown and grown, and the number of people has exceeded the capacity of this world.

So up to the Seven Saints of the Demon Clan, down to the ordinary monks, they all left this realm from time to time, entered the mortal world, looked for a place full of spiritual energy, and built caves between the mountains.

In the company of birds and beasts, although they can enjoy themselves, but limited by their own strength, the demon clan does not dare to challenge the monks of all parties, and has never been able to enter the mortal city in a big way, which has always made the people with lofty ideals of the demon clan regret.

In the center of the plain, on the bank of the big river, there are demon tribes living in the city, and thirty miles east of the city, there are seven high mountains that are connected together. The mountain is not wide, but it is high enough, so the style is still extraordinary, but it seems a little abrupt and incompatible with the surrounding environment.

In the demon clan itself, few people don't know about the existence of these seven mountains, because this is the place where the seven saints meet from time to time to discuss the demon clan's plans and sacrifice heaven and earth. Whenever there is a major event, the Seven Great Saints come, and there will be a lot of people here.

However, it is said that it is the Seven Great Saints, but those who can usually come are only the Six Saints. Monkey King is always on the outside.

In the valley between the seven peaks, there was a huge flat land that was built into a sacrificial square, and in front of the tall altar, seven thrones were placed in different directions, and that was the seat of the seven saints.

At this time, on the six of the wide thrones, there was a monk from the Great Luo Jin Immortal Realm.

They have different forms, some are burly humanoids, sitting with big swords, and some are exposed.

The roc bird clutched its legs on the back of the chair, and looked around with its eyes wide, its eyes moving and turning, and it was agile but a little strange; a macaque grasped the spear hanging from the throne with one hand, and its body dangled as if it were at ease; and there was a dragon, its body coiled like a snake, and placed itself on the throne as if it were asleep.

The demons have different postures and different personalities and thoughts.

"Anyway, I don't agree!" spoke a white-skinned beautiful man, with a wide-sleeved robe and a folding fan in his hand, who at first glance seemed to be personable. But when he spoke, he was very loud, and the folding fan shook as fast as the wind, and no matter how he looked at it, it was a little out of tune.

"Why don't you agree to such a good thing?"

On the seat closest to the altar, there sat a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a rough face and a majestic expression, "Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life? In my opinion, you are just afraid! Timid as a mouse, what else is it called the Great Sage of Moving Mountains, why not call it the Rat Sage?"

The beautiful man suddenly became anxious, put away the folding fan, sat up and stared at the other party: "Old manniu, you have to mock me, don't think I don't know, you have already sent the red boy to help Li Ye's house! If you want to toss, you can toss, I can't care, but let Li Ye come to the mainland, I just don't agree! If this matter is known to the Xianting, how is it tantamount to setting yourself on fire?"

He is the Great Holy Lion Camel King of Moving Mountains, of course, the cave he established in the mortal world is not called Lion Camel Ridge, because he is not the green lion.

The one who spoke to him was the Great Sacred Bull Demon King of Pingtian.

The Dapeng bird, which grabbed the back of the chair with its paws, spoke, and his voice was yin and yang: "I have long seen that your stupid lion is not pleasing to the eye, I thought you just liked to be idle, but I didn't expect that I was willing to be kept as a pet by the Immortal Court, and I didn't want to restore the glory of my demon clan!"

"What's the matter, when a pet is happy, learn to wag its tail and beg for mercy? Look at you, you make yourself look like a white-faced scholar, do you think you are beautiful, do you still know that you are a stupid lion? Do you want me to give you another box of rouge and a box of gouache, and you can also wipe it on your face, so that you can kidnap a few ignorant girls?"
