The lotus girl brought back the explained "Sumeru Mustard Seed Heartwarming Mantra" and found that the difficulty of cultivation was still not small.

The vast Mount Meru can be stuffed into a small mustard seed, which is extremely incredibly powerful, and as the name of a set of internal strength, it requires that the practice must first pass the "faith" level.

And this belief is first of all a reverence for the Dharma, and secondly, a belief in the Dharma, which contains all the internal strength in the world, and is omnipotent after cultivation.

Gu Shenwei and the Lotus Girl couldn't get past either level, the two only had the most superficial understanding of Buddhism, and the principles they had been practicing were diametrically opposed.

The lotus girl brought back a few scriptures, Vajra, Fahua, Prajna and the like, and after reading a few pages, Gu Shenwei only felt dizzy, and there was an obvious feeling: the Buddha loved to brag, and then he had to believe it with all his heart, and there was a little doubt that the will to seek the Dharma was not strong.

In his opinion, a set of exercises encompasses all the internal skills in the world, which is also a similar way of bragging.

But if you don't believe it at all, he and the Lotus Girl have seen the unfathomable magic of Fa Yan with their own eyes, and the Lotus Girl has heard of the "Sumeru Mustard Seed Temptation Mantra" before that it is one of the treasures of the Four Noble Truths and the Great Temples of the Garan.

Moreover, the "Book of the Dead", which the two rely on the most, also has similar requirements for faith, and the book seems to be full of loopholes, like an ignorant person talking nonsense according to imagination, but as long as he has confidence, he will be able to practice it easily, and his power will be multiplied, and many seemingly loopholes will be solved.

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl hesitated, but they finally solved a difficult problem, this set of exercises has no other side effects, Fa Yan did not hide anything like the "Theory of Breaking Attachments" in it, his purpose is obvious, he wants the two of them to come into contact with the Dharma through the cultivation of divine skills.

The monk has an unwavering belief in Buddhism, thinking that a few scriptures can influence the devil who kills people as a karma.

"Sumeru Mustard Seed Mantra" was indeed invented for people like him.

The two of them tried to practice the most basic exercises, but after only three days, they had to stop and discover a more fundamental problem.

The internal breath produced by Sumeru's mustard divine skill is incompatible with the non-Taoist divine skill.

The former belongs to masculinity, and the latter is to yin, and the two skills meet like fire and water.

Even if the belief is not strong, the exercises can be practiced first, but the effect and speed will be greatly reduced, but as soon as the Sumeru mustard divine skill produces a little bit of true qi, it has a fierce conflict with the original internal breath, not only does not alleviate the danger of going mad, but instead stimulates that cold and icy qi.

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl went crazy one after another, but fortunately, it was not serious, and it only took one night to get through the danger, but they didn't dare to practice anymore.

This makes their belief in the exercises even weaker, and the "Sumeru Mustard Seed Heartwarming Mantra" claims to contain all the internal skills in the world, but the Wudao Divine Skill is obviously an exception.

Just when the two were about to give up, a miracle was born.

Chu Nanping went to the city with the lotus girl to listen to the monk**, and by the way, he also saw the magic of Sumeru, and the monk attached great importance to this young man, claiming that he had a wisdom root.

Chu Nanping was not interested in Huigen, and if he had, he would be immediately killed, and he wanted to continue to practice ruthless swordsmanship, and he came to listen to the monk's nagging, all because of the Dragon King's request.

Therefore, the young man had no faith in Buddhism and divine skills, and he did not have any faith at all, but he was able to cultivate smoothly without any conflict.

Gu Shenwei has taught Chu Nanping a part of the Daoless Divine Skill, the young man's internal strength is not much different from him, it is also the Yin attribute, and the newly generated masculinity, not only does not conflict, but complements each other, and the progress is wonderful.

In the many years that he left the Deyi Building and wandered together, the Dragon King and Chu Nanping were also teachers and friends, and for the first time, he wanted to ask the boy for advice.

But Chu Nanping couldn't say why, "Don't think about anything, just practice it, it's similar to "The Secret of Love", it's quite easy." ”

Don't think about anything, this alone is very difficult, the dragon king and the lotus girl are the same kind of people, on the surface calm and less thoughtful, in fact, the brain does not stop spinning for a moment, even if it is sleeping, it is also half awake, calculating traps and conspiracies all the time, letting go of these thoughts, for the two of them is like throwing away the sword that carries them.

It was hoped that the function of the Sumeru mustard god would be of great help, but now it seems that even if this path is feasible, it will be full of thorns, and every step forward will require great efforts.

Spring is coming, the army of Jinpeng Fort is coming, Gu Shenwei can't take risks on himself, he can only put aside the matter of cultivating divine skills for the time being, the pain of ice thorns once in two or three months, he has become accustomed to it, although the pain can not be relieved, but with the protection of the lotus girl, he does not have to worry about being taken advantage of by the enemy.

Zhong Heng's recruitment is all going well, so far, the recruits have exceeded 10,000 people, Dugu Xian has been training soldiers at different stages day and night, for the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, they are required to control their brave hearts, put down the speed of killing, and force them to strictly abide by the military orders for the half-hearted soldiers of the Five Kingdoms, and those who retreat without permission will be immediately killed.

After several months of training, Dugu Xian praised the slave soldiers of the country of Xiangji, believing that they took the general's orders seriously and forbade them, and could form a real overall combat effectiveness.

Gu Shenwei had to pour a little cold water on General Zuo, these six or seven thousand slave soldiers were accustomed to obeying orders, but whether they had combat effectiveness or not had to wait for the test of the battlefield.

In the process of recruiting troops and collecting supplies, Zhong Heng had contact with the people from all over the Xiaoyaohai, and he issued a warning to the Dragon King: The soldiers were tempted by the land of the country of Xiangji and began to accept the upcoming war, but the people still thought that the war had nothing to do with them, and it was all because of the Dragon King that the Jinpeng army would fight.

In addition to doing some business for the Dragon King, Xu Xiaoyi has also been listening to information, and has come to the same conclusion as the prime minister.

The whole Xiaoyaohai felt the breath of war, everyone was like a fly without a head, the people in the city went to hide in the countryside, the countrymen went to the city to seek refuge, and every household dug tunnels in the courtyard and house, buried food, and prepared to hide from the rebels.

The resentment of the people will not have an impact for a while, they are afraid of the dragon king, and they are even more afraid of the army under the command of the dragon king, and as long as the price is fair and the money is paid on the spot, they are also willing to do business with the dragon army.

Zhong Heng was worried that if the war was unfavorable or fell into a long-term stalemate, the already fragile connection between the Dragon Army and Xiaoyaohai would be completely broken, and the little supplies that had been transported by the country of Xiangji from a long distance would be far from being able to support an army of more than 30,000 people and a large-scale war.

There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two of them preparing for war and winning the hearts and minds of the people, just like "Sumeru Mustard Seed Heart-Stirring Mantra" and "Book of No Dao", which can only be taken for the time being.

But as long as the war is won, the dilemma will be solved.

It is precisely on this issue that the people of the Loose Navy, and even the entire Western Regions, are not optimistic about the Dragon King and his army.

Zhong Heng worked hard in recent months, and finally recruited more than 10,000 recruits, most of whom had never been exposed to sharp weapons, and at the same time, the Jinpeng Army on the other side of the desert increased by 30,000 people, and they were all veterans of various countries, swordsmen, and bandits.

80,000 against 30,000, the advantage of Jinpeng Castle has not only not shrunk, but has become more obvious.

Dugu Xian complained to the Dragon King almost every day, the slow progress of recruit training, the low morale of the whole army, the serious shortage of manpower, etc., he was a decent general, never believed that there would be miracles on the battlefield, and he either did not believe in the examples of winning more battles with less recorded in the book, or pointed out the limitations that were difficult to replicate.

"That's not called winning more with less, if you take a closer look, the side with more troops does not abide by the most basic military rules and makes serious mistakes, which leads to a rout, and has little to do with the enemy. ”

"The side with fewer soldiers can find a way to make the other side make mistakes. ”

"Hehe, the Dragon King believes in those conspiracies and tricks, they are all made up, if I have a superior army, I don't care about any interference at all, I will only move forward step by step, and I already have the inevitable victory in my hand, why do I have to think about it? Shangguan Jianyi will not be fooled, I know him." ”

Gu Shenwei thought that he knew better the commander of the enemy army who he had never met, Shangguan Jianyi liked to take risks, and liked to destroy the withering and decaying complete victory, so he didn't care how many people died at any cost.

But this is just a feeling, Gu Shenwei has not yet come up with a specific plan.

Dugu Xian is a qualified general, in front of the dragon king, he is obliged to point out all the loopholes of his side, leaving the dragon king's tent, he immediately becomes full of confidence, and uses all means to improve the morale of the whole army.

The war is getting closer and closer, and the spies will bring back a lot of information every day, indicating that the Jinpeng army in Shuangquan Village will launch an attack as soon as the spring flowers are in full bloom and it is suitable to march.

Gu Shen was entangled in affairs, and he didn't have time to study the magic left by the monk, but at this time, news came out in the palace: the queen had sorted out the eighth chapter of the "Book of No Dao".

Not long ago, the princess was only halfway through, and it was beyond Gu Shenwei's expectation to finish the work so quickly, but it made sense when I thought about it, the biggest obstacle to organizing the text was the confusion of the order of the hundreds of books, and once it was arranged as it was, the speed would naturally be greatly accelerated.

Gu Shenwei hadn't seen his queen for almost a month, and when he heard the news, he immediately entered the city.

The princess dressed up to welcome the dragon king and ordered a rich wine feast.

Gu Shenwei was not in the mood to appreciate the princess's efforts, so he said a few words of greeting, and he had to read the eighth chapter.

The princess seemed to accept the character of the dragon king, and calmly took out a stack of papers, which was full of neat words.

Gu Shenwei took a cursory look at it, this is indeed the eighth chapter, although it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate, but there will be no fundamental errors.

But there was one problem, the content was incomplete, and it came to an abrupt end at a critical point.

"Is that all?" Gu Shenwei was a little disappointed, the Daoless Divine Skill could be cultivated in chapters, but if it was missing within one chapter, it would be useless.

"No, there's more. The princess smiled and said in a soft, standard good wife's tone, "I don't know much about these things, but I believe that there is not only chapter eight but also chapter nine hidden in these hundreds of books." ”

"Give it to me. Gu Shenwei was rarely excited.

"Agree to my conditions first, and then I'll give it to you. ”

Suddenly, the shy teenage princess was gone.
