Sigh:

The clouds on the top of the mountain are dark and the old trees are suppressed, and the city under the mountain reflects the cold light.

Thousands of herds of beasts were ridden, and several camps were set up on iron walls.

The sword flashed and snatched the soul, and the rain of arrows covered the chest through the chest.

The sound of drums shook the wilderness, and the smoke covered the sun.

said that the next day, Gao Fujun left home in the name of experience and went to Jingkong Mountain. He has a spirit boat chasing the wind, which is naturally very fast, and after a while, Gao Fujun came to the foot of the Clear Sky Mountain and came to worship the mountain.

Gao Fujun went up to the Pure Sky Mountain, and Qing Yao, the abbot of the temple, came to greet him as if he were treating the Gao Lin and the White Star.

You say that this Qingyao, as the abbot of the Jingkong Temple, why should he be courteous to this young junior Gao Fujun for a few years? For no other reason, firstly, the Gao family is indeed a big family and a big force, and secondly, Gao Fujun, as a young man of the younger generation, is also a rising star.

As the saying goes, it is better to bully the old than to bully the young; not to mention the fact that the future of such an outstanding son of a big family is limitless? This is also a terrible future life.

Although Zen Buddhism is large, it is constrained by Mingzong, and the Jingkong Temple, for mortal monks, is just a nursing home branch equivalent to Zen Buddhism. Having said that, although Zen Buddhism is big, the Pure Sky Temple can't sit up.

At that time, Qing Yao was talking to Qing Xuan, the abbot of the East Peak Branch: "Senior Brother Qing Xuan, your Ming Chen on the East Peak, this person, there are probably some stories that are a little weird, you have to pay attention to him." ”

Qing Xuan said: "Senior Brother Abbot, that Mingchen is just a mortal old monk, what is strange and strange, should you pay attention to him?"

While he was talking, a little Zen sect came to report: "Gao Fujun, the eldest young master of the Gao family in Linsha City, came to worship the mountain." ”

When Qing Yao heard this, he said, "Please!"

Then, Qing Yao and Qing Xuan both got up and went to the mountain gate in person.

Gao Fujun had already entered the temple gate, so he went to the abbot's room, and there was a small Zen leader leading the way. So, Gao Fujun met with Qing Yao and Qing Xuan on the left side of the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

Gao Fujun bowed his hand: "Boy Gao Fujun gives a salute to the two masters!"

Qing Yao and Qing Xuan both laughed and said, "Amitabha!

Gao Fujun said respectfully: "Where is it, the kid is the last to learn, and the master has won the award!"

Qingyao said: "Master Gao, yesterday your old donor and Bai Lao donor came, today, the little donor came to my Jingkong Temple again, I don't know what is important?"

Gao Fujun smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disturb the master! Boy, I'm here today to visit Master Mingchen of your temple!"

When Qing Yao heard this, he glanced at Qing Xuan, and both of them felt puzzled in their hearts.

What Qing Xuan thought in his heart was: It seems that Senior Brother Qingyao wants me to pay attention to that Mingchen, it seems that it still makes sense. It's just that this Mingchen is just a mortal old monk, what is there that deserves the attention of this eldest young master of the Gao family, and he wants to visit? It turns out that Qing Xuan likes to use the word "seemingly" when he speaks, which is about the same as a mantra.

What Qing Yao thought in his heart was: Yesterday, Gao Lin and Bai Dongguang came together to find this Mingchen, but after all, it was in vain. Today, the eldest young master of the Gao family came, could it be that he was still robbing the wind chasing spirit ship for some kind of thing? I look at that Mingchen, he is just a mortal old monk, how can he have the ability to snatch their wind chasing spirit ship! What the hell is going on?

Qingyao said: "Gao Gongzi wants to find Mingchen, I don't know what is the matter?"

Gao Fujun said: "The kid is just visiting Master Mingchen, and I ask the two masters to tell me, how can I meet him?"

Qingyao and Qingxuan, hearing this, also said: "Amitabha! Young donor, Ling Zun and the head of the Bai family came yesterday, and it is estimated that they recognized the wrong person-

There is a man named Mingchen in our temple, he is just a mortal old monk, and now he lives in the Dongfeng Branch. Why don't you send someone to ask him to come and meet with your son?"

Gao Fujun saluted: "Thank you two masters, the kid is going to visit him, how can someone let him come!"

When Qingyao and Qingxuan heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, they really couldn't figure it out, how could this Gao Fujun respect such a mortal old monk as Mingchen so much. However, Qingyao and Qingxuan were also hindered by etiquette, so they accompanied Gao Fujun to the east peak.

Not long after, Qingyao, Qingxuan, and Gao Fujun arrived at the foot of the east peak, and when they walked through the north end of the town, Lu Sanya left the rented residence and met the three of them head-on.

When Gao Fujun saw it, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he thought that the beauty surnamed Shi and the fairy Minghui must also be nearby, so he greeted Lu Sanya from afar:

"Lu Daoyou! Fortunately, fortunately!"

Lu Sanya listened, smiled faintly, bowed his hand slightly, and said politely: "It turned out to be Gao Daoyou! I still have something to do, so don't leave it at that!"

As Lu Sanya spoke, he turned to the corner of the street, Gao Fujun was about to ask her about Shi Cuigu's news, but when he saw that Lu Sanya had passed, he had no choice but to give up.

Qing Yao and Qing Xuan said: "Look at this female benefactor, she is young, and her cultivation realm is already at the beginning of the spiritual path!

Gao Fujun said: "This person is the daughter-in-law of Master Mingchen, and Master Mingchen's cultivation realm is much higher and deeper than her!"

Qingxuan himself is also the ninth order of the true path of the innate realm, and he has not yet stepped into the realm of the spiritual path, and Qingyao is only the second order of the spiritual path, at this time, after listening to Gao Fujun's words, he thought in his heart: Could it be that this Mingchen's cultivation realm is even higher than me?

Lu Sanya went far away, and Qingyao Qingxuan said, "Master Gao, let's go up the mountain." ”

Gao Fujun was thoughtful, nodded and said, "Two masters, please!"

The three of them arrived halfway up the east peak and came to the branch of the Jingkong Temple, and Qingxuan took the lead to the east across the courtyard. Na Fan stepped forward, saluted the two hosts, and saluted Gao Fujun.

Qingyao Qingxuandu said: "Fan, where is Mingchen?"

When he heard this, he pointed to the meditation room where the dervishes lived and said, "No, that's it." ”

After saying this, Lifan shouted from afar to the meditation room: "Mingchen! Mingchen! The abbot has come to see you!"

The dervishes were originally meditating and practicing in the meditation room, but when the noise came, the dervishes had no choice but to take the work, and when he got up and walked out of the meditation room, he saw that Qingyao Qingxuan was there, and Gao Fujun was also there.

When Gao Fujun saw it, wasn't this person the old Zen master Mingchen who he met in the desert that day, known as the dervishes!

Gao Fujun took a step forward at that time, and he saluted the dervishes, and said: "Master Mingchen, the boy Gao Fujun made a special trip to worship the mountain today!"

The dervishes laughed and said, "It's you! Aren't you here for Cuigu?"

Qingyao and Qingxuan listened to the conversation between the two of them, inexplicable, and they didn't know who Cuigu was. Seeing Gao Fujun's face red, he took out something from the ring and said to the dervishes:

"The boy came to worship the mountain, there is no gift of insight - this is the boy in the desert of thousands of years of sand jujube, people call it 'thousands of miles of sand fragrance', the meat of this jujube can prolong life, its core can be sown, very rare!

The kid will dedicate this thing to Master Mingchen, and I hope that the master will guide the boy, where is Minghui Immortal Gu now?"

That Qingyao and Qingxuan were very moved when they saw the "Thousand Miles of Sand Fragrance" in Gao Fujun's hands, but they were embarrassed to show it. The two of them watched as the dervish monk didn't care at all, but just took it and threw it in the bowl he was holding.

Qing Yao and Qing Xuan were full of sighs and envy in their hearts, when they heard the dervish monk continue to say something that made people vomit and did not know anything!

I heard the dervishes say curiously, "Hey, how did you put this sand date in the ring?"

It turned out that the dervishes didn't know that what immortal cultivators often used to carry their belongings was often some storage magic weapons with inner space. This kind of storage ring is also the most common one used by immortal cultivators.

Dervishes, as soon as he opened his mouth to ask, Qing Yao and Qing Xuan secretly shook their heads, and secretly said in their hearts: In the end, he is a mortal old monk and has no knowledge!

Gao Fujun listened, but secretly said in his heart: I can't see that his cultivation is so high, and he actually said such uninformed words! Oh, yes, he should not have a storage ring, in this way, hinting that I will give him one!

For the beauty in his heart, what is it to give him a storage ring?! Gao Fujun expected that the dervishes was tactful and asked for a storage ring, so he smiled and said: "The master turned out to be missing a storage ring, but fortunately, the kid also has it." ”

Gao Fujun gave a storage ring as he spoke, but the dervishes took it unceremoniously, without the slightest shyness.

Qing Yao and Qing Xuan saw it, and they were surprised in their hearts, and they couldn't help but despise the dervish monk a little.

Those who were surprised, I don't know what the relationship between the dervishes monk and this Gao Fujun is, and why he can be so cared for by this young master of the Gao family.

Those who despise it are disgusted that this dervishes is so cheeky, and they ask for whatever they give, and even ask for it tactfully.

The dervish monk naturally has a number in his heart and sees everything in his eyes. But he doesn't care what others think, think about his life, he has been in trouble, and when he walks by, what kind of face has he never seen?

The dervish monk accepted the ring and asked, "Gao Xiaoyou, how do you use this ring?"

This time, Gao Fujun was really surprised, and Qingyao and Qingxuan were even more genuinely despised!

Although Gao Fujun was surprised, he also said: "Master Mingchen, you only need to pierce any fingertip, squeeze out a drop of blood, and drip it on the ring, and this ring is yours-

This is called 'Dripping Blood to Recognize the Lord', and it is a common ritual for immortal cultivators to receive magic weapons. Once you've done that, you can manipulate the object at will, take it from it, or put it in. ”

When the dervish listened, he stretched his right index finger into his mouth, and bit it lightly, and it was bitten and bleeding, and the dervish pressed the bloody finger on the ring, and sure enough, his heart moved, and he sensed the inner space of the ring.

The inner space of this storage ring is about a few zhang square, and it is black and rumbling inside, however, the dervishes clearly know that the inner space is dark, but there is no trace of darkness.

How can we know the darkness within, because the dervish can compare it with the inner space of the bowl it is holding.

At that time, the dervishes asked Gao Fujun for the formula, opened the space in the ring, and took out the thousands of miles of sand incense - several sand dates from the bowl and put them into the ring.

Then, the dervishes laughed and said, "Gao Xiaoyou, if you want to find my senior sister Cuigu, you have to go to the town under the mountain." The old man will not delay your time. I need these two things you sent, thank you!"

Gao Fujun was told by the dervishes, his face turned red, and he immediately said: "Since Master Mingchen needs it, the kid is very happy, and thank you Master for telling Minghui where Immortal Gu is." ”

Qing Yao and Qing Xuan, at this time, they understood, and said in their hearts: It turns out that this eldest young master of the Gao family wants to pursue his junior sister, so he will take such care of Mingchen!

Qing Yao himself is already a second-order spiritual path, and he doesn't take this storage ring and Qianli Shaxiang Sha Jujube very seriously, however, Qing Xuan's inner thoughts are different.

What Qing Xuan thought was: Ming Chen is just a mortal old monk, and he happens to be under my hands, don't I just take advantage of the situation to give him some unspoken rules? As long as he gives me two thousand miles of sand fragrant dates, I will be able to break through in one fell swoop and step into the realm of spiritual paths.

At this time, Gao Fujun was asking the dervishes: "Master Mingchen, dare to ask where Fairy Minghui is in the town at this time?"

The dervish laughed and said, "Gao Xiaoyou, if you give me something, if you have a chance one day, I will definitely repay the old man." If you really want to go to her, I can only tell you: 'Only in this town, there are many people who don't know where. 'Hahahaha!'

Gao Fujun listened, gritted his teeth, and said: "Thank you, master! In the vast sea of people, if the kid is lucky enough to meet the Minghui Fairy, it can be interpreted as a fate to meet thousands of miles away, since it is only in the town under the mountain, the kid can find her after a few more times." ”

The dervishes said: "Gao Xiaoyou, the old man still has to tell you, although there are hundreds of female families in the family, but my junior sister was originally promised to others, and the little brother is called Li Shijian, and he is a character!"

The dervishes talked about Li Shijian, which also reminded the dervishes that Li Shijian, who was still in the mortal world at this time, as the Taiping Khan Emperor, commanding the army, was fighting in Xiaoguanzhou and the red-haired soldiers.

——As explained above, Li Shijian ordered Lin Heng, the marshal of the Right Army, to lead his troops to defend Sanguan County, waiting for an opportunity to attack Yutian Prefecture, and ordered Li Shijun to rush to Langshan County in Dingbian Prefecture to attack the flank of the Hongmao Army that invaded Dingbian Prefecture.

On that day, Yang Du was photographed by the red-haired soldier general Hulagus with a bronze mirror, and he fell down from his horse, and after being rescued, the red-haired soldiers were ineffective in attacking the city for a while, so they retreated.

On the same day, Li Shijian gathered a group of strategists to discuss with the generals about the strategy of retreating from the enemy, and no one had a plan for the bronze mirror of Nahulagus.

Yan Junping said: "My lord Emperor Khan, since it is not appropriate for us to fight with that Hulagus head-on, it seems that we only have the idea of dragging Hulagus under this Dingbian City, so that the right army can take the opportunity to capture Yutian Prefecture, and let the left army attack from the flank of Hulags, in order to defeat him." ”

Wen Ziming listened to it and added: "Our army is dragging him here, and that side must recapture Xiaoguan Prefecture and hold Xiao Guan." Strangle his way back, let him have nothing to plunder, and he can trap that Hulagus to death, this is the best policy!"

All the strategists also agreed with this proposal, although Li Shijian felt inadequate in his heart, but he couldn't come up with a good way to break the bronze mirror. Therefore, Li Shijian discussed this according to this, and at the same time, informed the left and right armies of this intention.

At that time, the Taiping Army and the Hongmao Soldiers, under the city of Dingbian Prefecture, formed a stalemate in the confrontation between the main forces of the two armies at this time.

On Lin Hui's side, the right army lived up to Li Shijian's expectations, won three battles and three victories, and began the battle of besieging Yutian County, the capital city of Yutian Prefecture.

On Li Shijun's side, the left army also won victories one after another, and the army attacked from Langshan County and hit Longjiao Town, an ancient town under Qinglong Mountain in Dingbian Prefecture, which was only more than a hundred miles away from the main city of Dingbian Prefecture.

Over there, Lin Heng besieged Yutian County, and here, Li Shijun's left army and Li Shijian's Khan Emperor's Praetorian Guards were twice, faintly forming a flanking attack on the red-haired soldiers.

Li Shijun sent someone to report: The army will cross the pass of Qinglong Mountain and enter Longshou County in a few days.

Longshou County is only sixty miles away from Dingbian City, the main city of Dingbian Prefecture. Li Shijian was naturally happy when he got the letter. Consult with the people how to counterattack Hulagus.

Yan Junping suggested: "My lord Emperor Khan, please arrange for the left army to send troops from Longshou County to capture the Longjiao Peak of Qinglong Mountain, cut off the back road of Hulags, and at the same time, send troops to help our army attack Hulags."

As soon as the red-haired soldiers moved, our army will attack in an all-round way, biting the red-haired soldiers, plus the assistance of Marshal Shijun's left army, then, even if this battle can't catch Hulags, it will be able to greatly hit the red-haired soldiers!"

Wen Ziming said: "My lord Khan, our side is attacking Hulags, and we have to let the right army increase the offensive, and we must recapture the Xiaoguan Pass before Hulags, so as to achieve the goal of trapping Hulags." ”

——On September 14, the fourth autumn of the Taiping Khan Emperor Kaiping, Li Shijun's troops went out of Longshou County, and the edge approached the headquarters of the red-haired soldier Hulagus. On September 15, Li Shijun snatched Longjiao Peak and cut off the retreat of the red-haired Hulagus Division!

The action of Li Shijun's left army not only echoed Li Shijian's department, but also had the intention of buying time for Lin Heng's right army to seize the key pass of Xiaoguanzhou.

As a result, the shape is forbidden, and the military significance of Longjiao Peak is very prominent for a while!

As soon as Hulagus saw this situation, he returned to his army to capture the Dragon's Horn Peak. So, the two armies fought fiercely at the foot of Longjiao Peak!
