Chapter 246: Vertical and Horizontal (The Third Shift Asks for a Monthly Pass)
By the time everything had been arranged and everyone present had made their own arrangements, it was already an hour later.
With Dou Wenlong coming forward to suppress many foundation-building monks, when Zhuang Wudao gave orders, he seemed to be at ease, without half a point of resistance.
The positive and negative immeasurable heavenly arrays are very important, and they can only be handed over to Dou Wenlong, and the responsibility of contacting the family is naturally handed over to Gu Yueming. As for the rest of the schools and the royal family of Soochow, they all have their own competent people to be responsible for contacting.
However, until the end of the scene, he didn't say anything about the fact that there were hundreds of Ahuizotls and two third-order demon cultivators hidden under the nameless mountain at this moment.
At this time, all the people of the Nameless Mountain were panicked because of the Great Array of Ten Thousand Domains Guiding Spirits and Sealing Consciousness of the Shifting Mountain Sect and the changes in the Hanguang Mountain of the Great Prosperous Country. If you want to expose their residence at this time, it is above the heads of a group of extremely dangerous demon cultivators, I am afraid that the morale of the army will collapse immediately, and there will be no more fighting will.
Before Gu Yueming left, he intended to have a deeper conversation with Zhuang Wudao, but Zhuang Wudao didn't give him this opportunity. After coming out of the council hall, he went straight back to his small building, and then sat quietly on the top of the building, looking at the foot of the mountain and pondering.
"Master, the Shifting Mountain Sect and the Taiping Dao join forces, once launched, it must be a thunderous momentum, and it is difficult to resist. There are so many demon beasts lurking under the mountain, I'm afraid this nameless mountain can't hold it!"
Zhuang Xiaohu also knew about the changes in Hanguang Mountain, and the sadness in his eyes was even stronger: "In my opinion, it is better to make a plan as soon as possible." ”
The implication in his eyes is to ask Zhuang Wudao to find a way out as soon as possible.
Zhuang Wudao sighed, it was not difficult to think of a way to save his life and get out at this time. It should be possible to retreat from the Nameless Mountain, and it will not be punished too severely by the Dust Leaving Sect.
When he saw that the opportunity was not good, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away in advance, it was not the first time that he Zhuang Wudao had done this in Yuecheng, it is said that he should have been used to it for a long time, and there was no psychological burden.
Today, however, it is somehow difficult to decide. Zhuang Wudao stretched out his hand and took the edict and seal of the Fazhen in his hand, his eyes flashing. I felt that my chest was heavy, as if a big stone was pressing on my heart.
The trust of the Dharma was both touching and heavy. But some things can not be changed by just a passion and wishful thinking.
This time the East is chaotic, the other party has been planning for a long time, where can it be so easy to crack and turn things around?
Zhuang Wudao couldn't help but subconsciously think of Qin Feng again. If his cunning brother was here, there must be a way to deal with it, right? If it were him, what would he do now?
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhuang Wudao pursed the corners of his lips. If Qin Feng was here, he wouldn't have discovered the plot of the Shifting Mountain Sect until now, and maybe he would be able to calculate the plan and calculate the Shifting Mountain Sect in turn.
With Qin Feng's temperament, he will never allow himself to fall into extinction. In fact, if you think about it carefully, when he was persecuted by the Beitang family, was he really in a desperate situation?
Just from Qin Feng's overnight appearance, many brothers of the Sword Yitang disappeared from under Shen Lin's nose, and it can be seen that that guy must have a reliable way out for a long time.
It's a pity for himself, after all, it's not Qin Feng. Zhuang Wudao frowned, raised his eyes, and looked at the Fenghe River below the mountain. The ban on navigation has now come into effect, and there are no ships coming and going on the wide river, and it is empty.
Zhuang Wudao suddenly remembered something, and said in his heart: "That's right, you need to make a plan early! This battle may not be unwinnable, there should still be some hope." ”
"Master, see it!, huh?"
Zhuang Xiaohu was overjoyed at first, and couldn't wait to speak, but when he heard Zhuang Wudao's words clearly, he was stunned on the spot: "Master, what do you mean, is it to continue to stick to the nameless mountain? Isn't this no different from waiting for death? If there is a 'positive and negative two instruments immeasurable heavenly array', I don't have to be afraid, but those Ahuizotls below can dig up the earth's leylines at any time-"
"Therefore, we need to seek foreign aid first, not to be evenly matched, but to have the strength to resist. ”
"Foreign aid?"
Zhuang Xiaohu frowned, but she couldn't think of it, at this time, where could she find a strong man who could fight against five or six Jindan near the Nameless Mountain?
"The first one, naturally, is the one from the Dongwu royal family. I don't want to see this southeast half of the country, all of which have fallen into the hands of the enemy. ”
As Zhuang Wudao spoke, he took out a talisman of good material, and then used the seal of the real person to stamp a clear seal on it. The pattern of the seal is peculiar, and there is a spiritual light to circulate, and it contains a forbidden method unique to the real person, and no one can imitate it.
"The second place is up to you. You can take this talisman with you to the south as soon as possible, and find a way to see the king of the east within five days. It's only 11,000 miles away from Beijing, and with your speed, can you do it?"
In addition to the talisman in his hand, Zhuang Wudao handed over the 'Shadowless Light Clothes' again, which was the cloak that Xiao Yun used that day.
This thing is a high-grade spiritual weapon, which can help people to hide. Coupled with the 'Sky Shadow Ring' in Zhuang Xiaohu's hand, she can avoid the strong people on the side of the Yishan Sect in advance, and she can sneak into the capital without knowing it.
"The Emperor of the East Leaving the Kingdom?"
Zhuang Xiaohu was stunned again, and then said with a smile: "Could it be that the old man is in the position, the former monarch who left the east will turn around and help the Lichen Sect?"
"Why not?"
Zhuang Wudao asked rhetorically: "Dinghai Gong has paid so much for the Yishan Sect, and he does not hesitate to throw out a few qualified heirs, but also to plan to leave the dust, is it a great achievement for the Yishan Sect?
"The Lord of a Nation?"
Zhuang Xiaohu fell into contemplation, and really couldn't think of what kind of bargaining chips the Yishan Sect could come up with, so that the successful Dinghai Gong was moved, and he was willing to take risks and volunteer to be the pawn of the Yishan Sect.
"It should be so, if it really happens this time, it will be able to hit the dust hard. It is only natural that the Duke of Dinghai has the support of the Yishan Sect and establishes himself as the lord of a country. Otherwise, it is not enough to reward its great achievements. ”
Zhuang Wudao's face. also floated a smile: "Then where should this Dinghai Gong's future land come from?"
Zhuang Xiaohu was puzzled at first, and then only thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he came to his senses: "Master, what do you mean?
Even if the Lichen Sect was defeated this time, the army of Dongli swept through the southeast of Wu State. Most of the places that can be occupied are wild and dense forests, and there is not much population. And even with the wealth of Yuecheng, it is far from enough to support a country.
As for the destruction of Soochow, this is something that you don't have to think about. A thousand years ago, when the Lichen Sect was at its weakest, it was still able to firmly control the Eastern Wu Half Kingdom. What's more, now, the strength of the Leaving Dust Sect has been thriving again?
Even if it suffered a heavy blow in Dongli, it still did not hurt the fundamentals, and Dongwu only had the risk of losing land, and there was no worry about destroying the country.
If Haigong wants to establish a country and ascend the throne, then there cannot be only one Yuecheng in the territory under his jurisdiction. Indeed, he will divide the land of the sixteen states under his rule from the east from the land.
In other words, she is the monarch of the Dongli Kingdom, and I am afraid that she will also have a grudge against the Yishan Sect.
"But even so, it's not enough to make the former king who left the country turn against the Yishan Sect?"
"Then Xiaohu, do you think that after I have suffered a big loss from the Dust Sect this time, I will give up?"
"No!"
Zhuang Xiaohu shook his head without thinking: "If the Lichen Sect doesn't come back with revenge, how can it continue to command the sects in the southeast?"
This time it was calculated so badly by the Moving Mountain Sect that the four Yuan Shen Zhenren of the Lichen Sect would definitely not be able to tolerate it. It also needs decisive means and the power of thunder to continue to deter the southeast.
"Everyone can understand this truth!"
Zhuang Wudao bowed slightly, and then asked: "Then in your opinion, if I leave the Dust Sect and make up my mind to suppress the Moving Mountain Sect, how long can the Moving Mountain Sect support?"
"With the Northern Taiping Dao as a backup, the Yishan Sect may be able to hold out longer, but the situation must be extremely difficult. ”
Zhuang Xiaohu had already understood what Zhuang Wudao meant, even if the Moving Mountains Sect won this time, he was still at a disadvantage.
The anger of the Lichen Sect provoked, the Yishan Sect may still be able to hold on, but the countries under its rule will definitely be hit by the Lichen Sect.
In the long run, the Shifting Mountain Sect is still a broken ship that is about to sink. If the monarch of the Dongli Kingdom has the opportunity to jump out and protect the whole country by the way, he may really be moved.
Zhuang Wudao's plot does not seem to be rootless. However, thinking of the risk of rushing to the east this time, Zhuang Xiaohu was still reluctant, but he knew that he could not disobey.
"But for Dongli, how can the Lichen Sect not have compensation?"
"Compensation? Or is there any, but what compensation can be worth the land of the Sixteen States? A few magic weapons, or mineral veins, are they useful?"
"After seeing the lord of the East Leaving Country, I don't know what the slave should say?"
"You can tell the truth about this nameless thing at the bottom of the mountain!"
Zhuang Wudao's words turned cold: "I can promise on behalf of the true person of the festival that if he is willing to turn against him, everything can remain the same except for the Yishan Sect." He can even promise to give him a place for the three disciples of the True Inheritance of Lichen. Whether to send carbon in the snow and help me get out of the dust, or to continue to stay on the broken ship of the Dust Removal Sect, it's all up to him to decide!"
"The slave knows!"
While Zhuang Xiaohu agreed, he also glanced at Zhuang Wudao carefully in surprise. Her master, obviously has no big ambitions, but her composure when she is in danger, and the determination to kill revealed in her words, are all shocking.
I only feel that all the heroes should have the bearing, and Zhuang Wudao should have everything.
"But even if the lord of Dongli agrees to defect, there are only two golden pills, and you still don't have much chance of winning, master-"
"So I need to see someone later, and with his help, I can have some hope of winning this battle. ”
When Zhuang Wudao spoke, he looked across the river. To be precise, he was going to meet a demon.
Now I only hope that the demon bear really doesn't dare to exonerate easily. The 'Upper Xiao Yang Flame Meter Thunder Talisman' given by the true person of the festival law can help him save his life without worry.
"You can tell the lord of Dongli that I don't need him to do it directly, I just need to find a way to delay the time for Dinghai Gong to attack the Nameless Mountain until night!"
With Dou Wenlong coming forward to suppress many foundation-building monks, when Zhuang Wudao gave orders, he seemed to be at ease, without half a point of resistance.
The positive and negative immeasurable heavenly arrays are very important, and they can only be handed over to Dou Wenlong, and the responsibility of contacting the family is naturally handed over to Gu Yueming.

This time the East is chaotic, the other party has been planning for a long time, where can it be so easy to crack and turn things around?
Zhuang Wudao couldn't help but subconsciously think of Qin Feng again. If his cunning brother was here, there must be a way to deal with it, right? If it were him, what would he do now?
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhuang Wudao pursed the corners of his lips. If Qin Feng was here, he wouldn't have discovered the plot of the Shifting Mountain Sect until now, and maybe he would be able to calculate the plan and calculate the Shifting Mountain Sect in turn.
With Qin Feng's temperament, he will never allow himself to fall into extinction. In fact, if you think about it carefully, when he was persecuted by the Beitang family, was he really in a desperate situation?
