The peak of the Arhat Realm, or the monk of the Great Refiner level, is basically the highest-level monk that will appear in the battle array of the two armies. Whether it is the Bodhisattva realm or the Buddha realm of Buddhism, or the Heavenly Master True Realm of Daomen, or the Great Heavenly Master and Great True Realm of Daomen, they will not easily get involved in face-to-face military battles.

At this level, they can gradually touch the law of cause and effect, and they will have a vague feeling about what causes cause and effect, and what cause and effect is not good for the sermon.

Under the Heavenly Dao, the higher the cultivation, the greater the causal involvement. For example, Feng Tang, Zhao Ran and Longyang Patriarch do the same thing, if the cause and effect of Feng Tang is one, then the cause and effect of Zhao Ran's cause and effect is ten, and the cause and effect of Longyang Patriarch is one thousand. This is another way of saying that with great power comes great responsibility.

For cause and effect, the great monks will have a great awe from the bottom of their hearts, and this awe comes from the desire to achieve nirvana, to ascend, and from the pursuit of immortality and reincarnation.

If there are too many causes and effects on the body, the heavier the thunderstorm that the Daomen monk will suffer when he ascends, the greater the cost of dissipation, and if he is not careful, he will be relieved by the thunderstorm.

If you are a Buddhist monk, when you open the Hongqiao, you will be pulled by the force of cause and effect, and the direction will deviate, and the greater the deviation, the closer you will get to hell, and some will even lead directly to hell, without even having a chance to dissolve.

Of course, in the first life of cultivation, it may not be possible to avoid the cause and effect of human life, which requires the monk to weigh the importance and consider it carefully.

The so-called human life is a matter of heaven, and among all the causes and effects, human life is the greatest cause and effect. All beings are equal, this is the highest principle, and killing and injuring human lives at will is not allowed by the way of heaven.

Since all beings are equal, the cause and effect of an ordinary person's life and the cause and effect of a monk in the realm of the Convergence Realm are the same, in other words, there is no difference between killing an ordinary person and killing a great monk.

Therefore, if there is no special reason, the great monks will basically not do anything to ordinary people or low-level monks, they are all involved in the same cause and effect, and killing ordinary people and low-level monks is really a bloody thing, no different from self-harm.

They will not even appear in the battle formation of face-to-face fighting-if they show their faces, it is very likely to provoke a lot of human life karma, why bother?

......

This time, the army agreed on a countermeasure, and the military center of gravity of the entire Song Domain began to shift to the western front.

The shift of the center of gravity to the direction of the White River on the western front does not mean a large-scale transfer of troops from the northern front to the west, on the contrary, not only cannot be transferred, but also has to put on a posture of preparing for a big war on the northern front. After being strengthened, Xiaoshanwei began to take the initiative to counterattack the Black Mountain Weifu Supervision Military Division, and within a month, he continuously provoked battles with hundreds of people and as few as dozens of people. For a time, the battle clouds were dense in the direction of Ruoergai.

The counterattack on the northern front was to tell the Western Xia that I was coming, and at the same time to cover the covert build-up in the direction of the Western Front. In less than a month, more than 3,000 Ming troops from Xiaohe Qianhu and Chishui Qianhu were stationed in Geyong Village and Mengshui Village respectively through batches and night marches, forming two fists of accumulated strength in the north and south of Hongyuan City.

In front of the White River, the Song Domain Guard strengthened its combat preparations with the momentum of tightening inside and loosening outside, and paid close attention to the various rivers that stretched for 200 miles. In Hongyuan City, the White Horse Temple also began to recruit people and raise the outer city walls of Hongyuan City.

In order to prevent the leakage of news, the Governor's Mansion did not send soldiers and horses to garrison Hongyuan City, but gave Zhao Ran a quota of 800 people to form the Hongyuan People's Regiment, and handed over the responsibility for the defense of Hongyuan City to the White Horse Academy.

Zhao Ran asked Guan Er to draw more than 500 warriors from the self-defense force of the surrounding villagers to go into the mountains for secret exercises, and at the same time let dozens of former bandits in the Cointreau Mountain bandit village rush to the Song Domain day and night, and join as the backbone force, making up the number of 600. He also asked Bao Zhong to select 200 skilled herdsmen from the three feudal tribesmen, the party people, and the Han people, and put on valuable war horses to form a cavalry.

This Hongyuan militia with a total strength of 800 people was pulled to camp in a valley in Dajun Mountain, and Ning Deshou, the Hongyuan Imperial Guard, deployed more than 10 officers to come for training.

The Ming Dynasty and the Western Xia, Tubo, and Northern Yuan have always maintained a low-intensity war state, so the border army is very strong.

There has always been a saying between the government and the opposition that "the guard is not as good as recruiting, and the recruitment is not as good as the side", that is to say, the nearly one million soldiers on the Ming military register are divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Therefore, the more than ten low-level officers transferred by Ning Deshou are all experts in military training. Zhao Ran not only attended the reception banquet on the night after their arrival, but also toasted them one by one, highly praising them as "pillars of the country and pillars of the army", which moved these junior officers to the point that their eyes were red and they almost wanted to cry.

If the militia is formed alone, it is enough to suppress the bandits, but the army is far from being able to kill them. It is necessary to have complete armor and weapons, and then carry out a lot of adaptive special training, and the soldiers and military armor are closely integrated, so that an army can be pulled into the battle array.

Zhao Ran rushed to the Governor's Mansion of Songfan County again, and after strict procedures and procedures, accompanied by Jiang Ruobing, the secretary of the Governor's Mansion, he went to the armory to collect equipment.

Seeing that Zhao Ran came alone, Jiang Ruobing was also a veteran in this process, and immediately said, "Abbot Zhao has a large storage artifact?"

Zhao Ran took out a brocade and shook it: "Secretary Jiang smiled." ”

Jiang Ruobing was immediately a little surprised: "Meridian tips?"

Zhao Ran smiled and asked, "Can this tip still be used?"

Jiang Ruobing was speechless: "Can it still be used? The abbot is afraid that he is not joking? I have been an official for decades, and I am also well-read, as far as I know, there are only three in the world of this meridian bag, but I don't expect that one of them is actually in the Zongsheng Pavilion, and the building view is really profound." ”

Zhao Ran thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "This thing is indeed not easy to obtain, and it also took three Void Refining Cultivators and eight Great Cultivators a total of half a year to do it back then. Well, it's just that this thing is very useful, so why don't you refine a batch of them? Whether it's killing military formations, transporting money and grain, or transferring materials in various government offices, it's all very useful. ”

Jiang Ruobing shook his head: "It's not easy to talk about." I have read records that the Meridian Tip was created by Mr. Tongzhen Daling, and it was refined five at that time, and it was destroyed for various reasons in the past three hundred years. Subsequently, according to the prescription of Mr. Tongzhen Daling, the great heavenly master continued to practice sixty years ago, and only got three of the power of the dragon and tiger and Maoshan according to the prescription of Mr. Tongzhen Daling. ”

He sighed again: "I heard that these three meridian tips are far inferior to the batch refined by Mr. Tongzhen Daling, and I think of Mr. Style, and it is really ...... master."
