Chapter 15: The Killing of the Tang Dynasty Monks (I)
In recent days, Li Ye has felt more and more bad, and the number of times he looks up at the long sky in Hexi has become more and more frequent.
The battle of the Immortal Domain is imminent, and the Immortal Emperor's men have already left the Immortal Court and are persecuting the Demon Clan. The demon clan is stepping up the arrangement of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, but the function of the demon suppression talisman is still there, and the situation is urgent.
The speed at which the luck of the people in the world gathers has gradually slowed down after a period of climax. Li Ye entered the fairy garden and saw that in the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Huainan and other places, there are still half of the people who have not turned into stars, which shows that these people do not recognize him.
As for Hanzhong, Jingxiang, Chudi, Lingnan and other places, the number of ordinary people is relatively small, Li Ye has roughly calculated, even if the officials he arranged are in place in time and the first batch of new policies are promulgated before the year, the luck of the people harvested is not enough for him to break through the Golden Immortal Realm.
If there is no special opportunity, just relying on the implementation of the new policy step by step, I am afraid it will take many years for most of the people everywhere to recognize Li Ye. And the decisive battle of immortals in the immortal realm will definitely not take several days.
"A special opportunity...... There is no major event in the world that can make the people return quickly than defeating foreign enemies and recovering the territory of their ancestors. Li Ye is well aware of this.
He came to the roof of the main palace and looked west again.
"With Li Maozhen's strength, as well as a large number of real people from the Phantom Sound Workshop and the Tsing Yi Yamen, unless it is an opponent who has also obtained the Heavenly Machine, there is no problem in crisscrossing the west of the river and going directly to the Moon God Temple. Thinking of this, Li Ye's eyes gradually lowered.
When the first Heavenly Dao Secret Realm appeared, Chu Nanhuai said that the aura of the Great Dao was divided into nine and scattered all over the world. So far, Li Ye has won two, Zhu Wen, Gao Piao, Li Maozhen, and Wang Jian have each won one. The total number of people is only six, and there are still three.
Where did those three go?
Li Ye frowned, and said secretly: "Hexi's immortal power has been dissipated, and it has been replaced by a new force, and the process is far faster than previously expected...... If Hexi is left alone, it won't be long before Li Maozhen and others are afraid that they will repeat the mistakes of Feihong Dashi. ”
When Feihong Master came to Hexi, because he was suppressed by the immortal power of the Daomen Immortal Court, his strength never really came into play.
After pondering on the roof for a long time, Li Ye suddenly shouted: "Come here, pass on the official to see you!"
After Shangguan Chengcheng was ordered to arrive, Li Ye issued a military order to her: lead 100,000 troops west into Qinzhou.
At the same time, Li Ye ordered the Fengxiang Jiedu envoy to prepare all the grain and grass for Shangguan Chengcheng, and at the same time ordered Shuofang Jiedu to prepare the army for war.
The army is destined to be unable to march west before the year, since this is the case, then only the elite will be selected to cooperate with the monks.
......
"Li Ye has a letter, let's find out why the divine power of the Hexi Moon God Sect has enveloped the earth so quickly. After receiving Li Ye's news, Li Maozhen called Chu Nanhuai over.
Chu Nanhuai took the summons and looked at it, and said when he handed it back to the other party: "In the past few days, when we destroyed the Minzhou Luna Sect Temple, we discovered some new situations. ”
"What's the situation?"
"The statue of the moon god enshrined in the temple is pouring out its power. Strangely, these powers did not enter the Cult of the Moon as they had done before. ”
"Where did you go?"
"Heaven and earth. ”
Li Maozhen was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Recently, I feel that my cultivation power is not working well. ”
Chu Nanhuai said solemnly: "The same is true for Lao Dao and others. ”
"It seems that above the immortal realm, at the same time that the Daomen immortals withdrew from Hexi, the Moon God Sect completely occupied this place, and immediately began to communicate with the temple, pouring divine power into the mortal world through the temple. ”
"The danger has arrived, and if it is not addressed in time, I am afraid that there will be a lot of harm. Once the power of the moon god completely controls Hexi, we will do it again
To recapture Hexi, it is not so simple. ”
Li Maozhen understood what Chu Nanhuai meant, once the construction of the immortal and mortal integrated order was completed, it could not be easily destroyed. At that time, immortals must march at the same time. And now, the Immortal Realm does not have the strength to occupy Hexi.
Li Maozhen was a little irritable: "We are already destroying the temple!"
"But the Taoists of Quanzhenguan are still stranded on the border, and they cannot enter Hexi without the escort of a large army. And without the Quanzhen view to reverse the beliefs of the residents of Hexi, even if we destroy the temple, it will not do much. As soon as we leave, the temple will be rebuilt. ”
"So what now?"
"Let Li Ye send an army to escort the Quanzhen Guandao people into Hexi. We can no longer fight guerrilla warfare in Hexi, we must lay down a place, rebuild the faith of the people in a place, and work every step of the way!"
Li Maozhen was suddenly stunned, and her face was strange: "Li Ye has already sent Shangguan to the city and led 100,000 troops to Hexi. ”
Chu Nanhuai was also stunned, "He moves so fast?"
The two looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. When it was over, Li Maozhen became even more irritable, but Chu Nanhuai laughed, "Li Ye is like this, strategizing to win a thousand miles, every time he expects the enemy to be the first, sometimes I feel strange how he did it." ”
Li Maozhen said angrily: "This king is not as good as him, but you don't need to remind him from time to time!"
Chu Nanhuai saw that Li Maozhen was very self-aware, and couldn't help laughing. At this time, Chu Nanhuai finally believed that Li Maozhen was sincerely seeking refuge in Li Ye. As long as Li Maozhen is clearly aware of this problem, it is logical to have such a choice.
Chu Nanhuai was about to talk about the next arrangement, but Li Maozhen had already waved his sleeves and gave orders in an indistinguishable tone: "Next, the soldiers will be divided into two ways." You return to Qinzhou to meet the army, and this king is here to sit in town, waiting for the Divine Sect monks to challenge!"
Minzhou is already the middle area of the rule of the Tubo people in Hexi of the Liugu Division, and the surrounding states and counties are under the control of the Tubo people, although the main temple of the Moon God Sect is in Shanzhou, but it will not take too long for the monks of the other party's Divine Servant Realm to rush over.
Now that the next strategy has been decided, which is to encroach on Hexi and replace the Moon God Temple with the Daomen Quanzhen Temple, there is no need to rush to implement the plan of directly attacking Shanzhou.
Chu Nanhuai was a little unhappy with this division of labor, and it was really useless to let them go back to pick up people, "We have been crisscrossing Hexi for several months, and we have been moving forward all the way, how can we turn around at this moment?"
Li Maozhen glanced at the old Taoist, "Can you beat this king?"
Chu Nanhuai chose to shut up. It is definitely impossible to beat, but it cannot be admitted.
He suddenly thought of something, and immediately smiled: "It's better to let the Tsing Yi Yamen pick up people, and we will continue to sweep the prefectures and counties." ”
Li Maozhen raised her eyebrows, stretched out her thumb, and praised: "This arrangement is very appreciated by this king!"
Chu Nanhuai can't beat Li Maozhen, but Song Jiao can't beat him either, so of course the dirty work is done for the Tsing Yi Yamen....... It is not accurate to say that it is dirty work and tiring work, on the contrary, it is the one who is tired who sits in Minzhou, and needs to face the counterattack of the Moon God Sect.
In front of face, whether you are tired or not is not in the scope of consideration.
In the next few days, the Luna Cult monks around Minzhou City ushered in the end of the world.
......
The foggy mountain in Taozhou is cold and windy, and the rugged mountain road is full of pedestrians with thin and shabby clothes and sallow faces, especially women and children. The dirt mountain road is not paved with stone steps, which is very difficult to walk, not to mention that the snow has frozen, even young people can easily slip, let alone the old and weak, women and children.
Even if someone is behind you, slipping and falling on a mountain road is a dangerous thing, and it is easy to break your muscles and bones when you knock on a protruding gravel stake, and it is even more common for skin to break and bleed.
Even if they broke their feet and bled out, these people had to get up quickly, grit their teeth and continue
Climb mountain trails. Slow it down a little bit, attract the attention of those Luna Cult monks beside the road, and the light ones will be scolded, and the heavy ones will be whipped, and the custody will make your skin open and painful.
There was a temple at the top of the hill, which was their end, and it was their mission to bow down to the moon god and offer their tribute, even if they were not followers of the moon god.
This kind of thing has to be done every year, and there are always fewer people who go down the mountain than people who go up the mountain every year.
Hu Xiaoya, who is eleven years old this year, still has yellow hair, and her patched wide hemp coat is empty on her body, making her more and more petite and thin, looking like she is about eight or nine years old. It's no wonder that the ladies in the neighborhood still call her a yellow-haired girl.
Hu Xiaoya, who was struggling to carry a basket much wider than her shoulders, was not very lucky today. When she helped Aunt Xu next door who rubbed her foot on the smooth frozen snow and fell down in the steep valley, because the strength of the little person was too small, not only did she not hold it, but she was taken by the other party and fell on the cold and hard road together.
Although they successfully avoided the other party from falling into the valley, they also threw themselves on the ground and slipped half a foot together, their elbows broke on the stones, the pain of their bones was heartbreaking, and their palms were rubbed bloody on the ground. Fortunately, Brother Xu in the back stopped them in time, otherwise she would have been even worse.
Hu Xiaoya, who was rolling down with tears, didn't dare to cry, and didn't even care about her wounds, her first reaction was to look at the basket. The basket contained eighteen steamed cakes that had been made yesterday until the fourth watch, which were paid to the moon god, and none dared to be less, and none dared to get dirty, otherwise they would definitely be turned away when they arrived at the temple.
If she can't enter the temple and get the wooden plaque given by the monk of the moon god to prove the tribute, she can't go down the mountain, and she and her family can only stay in the mountain and become slaves in the coming year.
The beautiful sister of the old Zhang family at the head of the village, the year before last, when she knelt down to worship the moon god, looked up at the elephant, and was discovered by the monks, saying that she looked directly at the gods, which was the greatest blasphemy, confiscated the wooden plaque, and punished their family to be slaves in the mountains to atone for their sins.
For more than a year, Hu Xiaoya never saw Sister Zhang's sister again. It wasn't until half a year ago that I went to the mountains to collect medicine, because I was chasing a fat rabbit and wanted to catch my sick mother to make up for her body, and accidentally went deep into a drifting valley, that I saw the sister of the Zhang family...... of corpses.
There were a lot of corpses in the valley, a lot of bones to be exact, scattered everywhere. The beautiful sister of the Zhang family died and her eyes were still staring, there was a strong horror in her eyes, half of her body was gone, and two wolves were frantically eating her bare upper body, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
When she came back from the mountains that time, Hu Xiaoya was also sick and was sick for more than a month. Her mother died within two days because she was not cared for. If Aunt Xu hadn't come to see her next door, she would have died. Her father and brother were forcibly conscripted into the army three years ago, saying that they were going to attack Guanlong, so they left their mother and son, and then never returned.
The monks said that the blessings of God are boundless, and believing in God should be pious and voluntary from the heart, so they are not compulsory. Therefore, the labor in their village is particularly heavy. The number of young people is decreasing every year, and now many houses are unoccupied.
At the end of the year, it is mandatory to pay tribute to the Moon Temple, and there is a quota for worship, and for a single-family like Hu Xiaoya, eighteen steamed cakes are the bottom line. Eighteen steamed cakes, not much, but for Hu Xiaoya, who is not full all year round, she needs to borrow flour from Aunt Xu's house next door, and it will take half a year to fully repay it.
Hu Xiaoya didn't get up from the ground, her little face was pale, her eyes were full of horror when she looked at the basket, and her thin body trembled like a sieve. Half of the steamed cake spilled, and five or six of them were wet with dirt and could not be wiped off. Cannot be offered to the moon god.
At this moment, she completely forgot the pain in her elbow, and her mind was full of the tragic situation of the Zhang family's sister dying, "I will also become like that...... I'm going to be like that......."
