Chapter 43: Resetting the Light Gate
At this point, Li Pingbo also has a detailed understanding of the process of Tiejianmen defeating the lonely mountain.
Looking at the young head of the Iron Sword Sect in front of him, Li Pingbo didn't know whether to be grateful or resentful.
It was the Iron Sword Gate that inadvertently hid the two assassins, which caused the Jindan Archmage Lu Shanhe to be seriously damaged, and also led to the current defeat.
But it was the young master in front of him who led the two hundred lonely soldiers to defeat the lonely mountain with great casualties, giving the remaining three thousand monks a base to live in.
Moreover, he also gave Li Pingbo himself the credit for laying down the lonely mountain, which made Li Pingbo sigh in his heart. On weekdays, Li Pingbo completely disdains such a contribution, but now when the army is defeated, he needs this credit to enhance his prestige and improve the morale of the army......
So even if he had a bad impression of Zhang Xu before, now that he has experienced this incident, Li Pingbo's opinion of Zhang Xu has changed a lot.
"Zhang, what do you think our army should do next?" Li Pingbo suddenly asked, at this moment, he suddenly wanted to hear the opinion of this young leader. If it was impossible for him to ask Zhang Xu in the past, how could the dignified Jindan Grand Monk question a young man who had just stepped into the foundation building?
Zhang Xu pondered for a while, knowing that now was not the time to hide his clumsiness, so he said: "Big shopkeeper, in my humble opinion, what we have to do now is nothing more than two choices, one is to reset the light gate as soon as possible and get in touch with the Flying Yellow Realm, and the other is to regroup and continue to conquer the mountains and forests."
At the moment of defeat, the morale of the army is low, and it is not easy to regroup. And Grand Master Lu has not recovered from his injuries, and the big treasurer is afraid that you alone will not be able to deal with the Demon Snake King, after all, its speed is too fast.
Therefore, the best choice is to stay in this lonely mountain, try to reset the light gate on the one hand, and wait for Master Lu to recover, and then attack the mountains and forests. ”
Li Pingbo nodded, agreeing with Zhang Xu's opinion, but he was slightly disappointed in his heart.
For the entire army, just as Zhang Xu said, it is the best policy to stick to the lonely mountain and try to get in touch with the Feihuang Realm. With reinforcements from the Flying Yellow Realm, or wait for Lu Shanhe to recover from his injuries, and then launch an attack on the mountains and forests, it is possible to smash the lair of the Demon Snake King and kill the Demon Snake King!
But Li Pingbo was not reconciled, because it was a complete failure for him. Since entering the Feihuang Realm, he has lost troops one after another, and even this lonely mountain is not really built by him.
Although now that there is a lonely mountain, he can barely hide his face, but Li Pingbo also knows that the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce is not a fool, and he has experienced such a defeat, and it is unknown whether he will be able to sit firmly in the Wuzhou branch in the future.
Therefore, Li Pingbo urgently needs a victory, the demon pill of the Demon Snake King, and the spiritual land in the mountains and forests, so as to show that his attack on the beast spirit realm has not failed.
However, in Zhang Xu's place, he couldn't find a good way, so he could only comfort Zhang Xu for a few words, and then left.
A conversation, although it does not involve deeper topics, but both people are tacit. The biggest credit for the capture of Gushan is Li Pingbo's proper command, and Zhang Xu will restrain his subordinates from talking nonsense. Then Li Pingbo is not guilty of Tiejianmen's past mistakes, and will look at Zhang Xu differently.
This is the exchange between the two.
Then, Li Pingbo officially ordered the garrison of Gushan. Build a cave on the top of the lonely mountain peak as the command center of the army.
Although the spiritual veins of the lonely mountain are small, there is no problem in opening dozens of caves on the top of the mountain, and the high-level officials of the Chamber of Commerce and the stewards and disciples of various sects will be assigned a cave mansion. As the hero of the Lonely Mountain, the Iron Sword Gate was also assigned a place in the Cave Mansion, but it was given up by Zhang Xu. Zhang Xu knew that it was only an expedient measure in this lonely mountain, and it didn't make much sense to cultivate for a little more time, not to mention that the Iron Sword Gate already had a cliff cave......
However, Zhang Xu's humility made all the monks praise each other, saying that Zhang Xu was humble, polite and had the demeanor of a master. As for whether there is anyone behind the scenes, I don't know.
Although it was said that the wide woods under the lonely mountain were more conducive to the garrison, Li Pingbo did not order the establishment of a village in the woods, but divided the territory on the lonely mountain, and ordered the monks to open up cave dwellings on the mountain and build a defensive line.
Although the terrain of the lonely mountain is steep, there are many small flatlands in various parts of the mountain, which are enough to accommodate these 3,000 monks. The reason why the monks lived on the mountain was because they were afraid of being attacked by the monsters, and the flat and unobstructed woods were not conducive to defense at all.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Li Pingbo set up a total of five lines of defense, and then set up a defensive array, which can be described as heavily guarded, even if there are tens of thousands of demon beast armies, they do not want to attack the lonely mountain.
After seeing Li Pingbo's defense, Zhang Xu nodded secretly, he is worthy of being the treasurer of the Jindan Period Great Monk Chamber of Commerce, his ability to lead troops is still good, the defeat of the beast spirit world is not a crime of war, in fact, Li Pingbo's luck is too bad.
Although Jindan Archmage Lu Shanhe has not recovered from his injuries, he has the ability to move, and it is his duty to reset the Light Gate to communicate with the Flying Yellow Realm. However, resetting the Light Gate is not an easy task, and it requires a lot of materials, not to mention a certain amount of Dharma cultivation.
There is no shortage of materials, and when you enter the beast spirit realm, you will bring a large amount of materials, that is, after stabilizing the formation, you must set up a light gate in the spirit land of the beast spirit realm, and form a stable space channel together with the light gate of the flying yellow realm.
It is standard for both realms to have a light gate, in order to avoid problems on one side, and the other side can be reinforced in time through the other light gate. Moreover, the opening of the light gate requires a large number of spirit stones to drive, and it can only be driven by high-grade spirit stones. Therefore, the light gate is not open all year round, and no one can afford the massive spars needed to open it all year round.
It only opens when needed, or at regular intervals. But what if there is only one gate of light, what if the monks of the other realm want to come over? So two gates of light must be set up in both realms at the same time.
Therefore, when Lu Shanhe entered the beast spirit realm, he brought the materials to set up the light gate, but the number of mages was not enough. After the assassin escaped from the Light Gate, he slaughtered the mages on the other side of the Flying Yellow Realm, destroying the Light Gate, and no other mages came over except Lu Shanhe.
And it is almost impossible for Lu Shanhe to reset the light gate by himself, and there are too many things that he can do alone.
Therefore, Lu Shanhe decided to recruit mages from three thousand monks, and anyone who knew a little bit of formation could apply.
As long as there is some foundation, and after a period of emergency training, you can assist Lu Shanhe to set up the Guangmen Formation.
After hearing the news, Zhang Xu hurriedly returned to the cliff cave and pulled up the little Lori who was indulging in cultivation.
"Ah Xi, your opportunity has come, worship Archmage Jindan as a teacher to learn the formation, this opportunity is very difficult to encounter. ”
"Really, Brother in charge," Little Lori was overjoyed, "Master Lu, is he going to recruit disciples?"
Revitalizing the Iron Sword Sect is an obsession in Xiao Lori's heart, how to revitalize it? A powerful sect must at least have its own private world, so that it can obtain enough resources to develop and grow. If the Iron Sword Gate wants to be strong, if it wants to restore the scenery of Taizu, its own otherworld is indispensable.
And if you want to have your own otherworld, a mage who will set up a light gate is indispensable, so Xiao Lori has been practicing the formation by herself, and she perseveringly draws talismans after practicing every day.
Now that there is such an opportunity to learn from Archmage Jindan, how can she let it go?
