"The adults are so sympathetic to us and the others, do we dare to kill the enemy for the adults?"

Hearing that Hong Yi was going to pack up the corpses of these dead soldiers after the battle, send them back to their respective hometowns at the expense, and return to their roots, the remaining more than 200 people present exchanged glances together, and then knelt down one after another, letting out a neat roar, which shook the entire group of snake canyons and reverberated for a long time.

Generally, the soldiers who died on the battlefield were abandoned corpses in the wilderness, and no one took care of them. Even if the victorious side collects the body, it is a concentrated spark and a landfill. There is no reason to transport it back to its hometown and bury it, because the cost is too great.

However, it is the tradition of the great cadres for generations to return to their roots, and after they die, they are buried in their hometown, which is the only way to rest in peace. This belief is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if they don't believe in gods and ghosts, university scholars and great Confucians, there are plots of falling leaves and returning to their roots, let alone these soldiers.

"Okay! ”

What Hong Yi wanted was this effect, with a wave of his hand, let these soldiers get up, sit on the ground and rest on the spot, drink water, and wipe sweat.

"Although we suffered heavy losses, we have made a great contribution by killing Green Eyebrow. Chi Chaiyang walked into the stream, and lifted the charred corpse of Green Eyebrow, although it was burned to a nonchéngrén shape, but it was still vaguely seen that Yīn's ruthless face was not hindered, and it did not prevent it from being used to invite merit and reward.

"Cut off his head and take it with you!" said the golden spider with a big grin.

"Leave him dead. Hong Yi looked at Chi Chaiyang holding a rebar knife, ready to cut his head and wrap it, but stopped it. "A few of you, stay here, keep an eye on the corpses and the battlefield, as well as the captured weapons and armor, and wait for the army to follow, and the others will continue to march with me, through the Serpent Canyon, which must be the base camp of the pirates. Be careful, everybody!"

Hong Yi's series of orders were issued again, and they did not leak.

Leave behind a part of the low-armed troops, take care of the seriously wounded soldiers, guard the battlefield, and wait for the follow-up troops to come in. It is naturally the best choice to move forward with a part of the strong team yourself.

"Brother Hong, come and see!" Chi Chaiyang lifted the corpse of the green eyebrow, as if he had found something, and greeted him.

Hong Yi stood up, walked over, glanced at it casually, and saw that this green eyebrow was burned off the inside of the green robe, faintly revealing the dark gold face, the dark gold clothes, interwoven with a lot of warp threads, grid strips, originally inconspicuous, but after being burned by fire and washed by water, it was shiny and shiny, like a treasure clothes. This dark dress seems to be a robe.

"Is this a robe?"

Hong Yi and Chi Chaiyang forgot to glance at each other.

"Yes, it's a robe, and it's made of black gold thread, so it's not afraid of fire, and the more it burns, the brighter it gets. And after wrapping, the sword is not injured, and it is better than the silver shark armor, which is the robe used by the elder level of the Great Chan Temple back then. "Chi Chayang Road.

"Wu Jinsi! No wonder..."Hong Yi suddenly remembered that the scripture cloth of the Mida Sutra was also this kind of face and texture, but it was much purer than the robe on the corpse of the green eyebrows.

"Just this one robe, even all our belongings, can't compare. As soon as Chi Chaiyang stretched out his hand, he pulled out the robe from the green eyebrows, a large piece of black gold cloth that looked like a sheet, after being torn out, folded it, it was no different from a handkerchief!

"Hey, there's a word on it. Hong Yi stopped the folding of Chi Chaiyang, shook the robe again, and after shaking it off, he reflected the sun, and sure enough, he found that the zhōngyāng of the robe had a trace of handwriting, as if it was a scripture.

"What kind of character is this?Is it a martial arts cheat?" Chi Chaiyang raised his eyes, but he didn't recognize the font on it.

"This is a seal script from a thousand years ago. Hong Yi said: "It's not a martial arts cheat, it's a merit chapter in the scriptures." ”

"What kind of merit scripture is this....... so weird, but so direct! It is completely different from the merit and good thoughts in the world!" Hong Yi replied to Chi Chaiyang while looking at the scriptures on his robe, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

The scriptures on the robe are not martial arts secrets, nor are they Taoist practices, but a scripture that talks about merits!

Hong Yi has also read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, and Confucian and Taoist scriptures that persuade people to be good, none of which mention merit. However, the merits on this robe are completely different from the previous ones.

"If I heard this, I asked the Buddha at one point, what is merit? If I use the vast world and infinite treasures to give to the poor and the poor, so that the world is peaceful, and everyone is free from sickness and suffering, can I have merit? The Buddha said: There is no merit. Generosity, good thoughts are for blessings, and it is not possible to talk about blessings as merits, merit is in the Dharma body, not seeking blessings. See xìng is merit, equality is virtue, there is no stagnation in thoughts, common xìng, true and wonderful, is for merit .........."

"Merit has nothing to do with good or evil? If there is no stagnation in thoughts, that is, every thought is smooth and smooth, this is merit? If it is a demon who follows his own nature, kills people like hemp, and satisfies his thoughts, then it is also merit?" Hong Yi was a person who read the book in the end, and he instantly understood the meaning of the scriptures, but he also had doubts, so he hurriedly looked down and looked down.

Sure enough, in the following verses, this question is mentioned again.

This merit sutra is written in the form of a question and answer, and it is a disciple of the Buddha, asking the Buddha. The Buddha replied.

"Thinking without stagnation is merit, then if it is a heavenly demon, this xìng is extremely evil, according to this xìng evil thoughts, rampant killing, is it merit? ”

"Good guy, this scripture is simply a great rebellion! Is this a Buddhist scripture? Not a foreign Taoist classic?" Hong Yi read this, and shuddered, this scripture is what the Buddha said to the Buddha's disciples, which means this, the Buddha's disciples asked the Buddha, the Heavenly Demon's original xìng is killing, extremely evil, if the Heavenly Demon kills and mutilates according to his own nature, so that his own book can be stretched, it is not considered merit. The Buddha replied, "It is merit." The Heavenly Demon knows his own extremely evil nature, comes to do extremely evil things, and relaxes his thoughts, which is also a merit, such a Heavenly Demon has great and free supernatural powers, called the Heavenly Demon, and has the same power as the Buddha.

"The process of knowing one's own self is merit! After knowing one's own one's ..............own one's However....... at the beginning of people, the original goodness of people, the nature of people, is good...... There seems to be nothing wrong with this scripture, what is my essence? Is it good or evil? Is it jealousy and hatred? Or will revenge be avenged? or is it weak? or virtue? or advocating truth and violence.......

Hong Yi fell into deep contemplation of this meritorious scripture.

Suddenly, he found that he did not have a clear and adequate understanding of his own nature.

What is your own book?

Hong Yi has not yet made a clear summary, and his heart is a little vague.

"It seems that my merit is not enough, and if my merit is not enough, I will not be able to talk about virtue. Is this scripture really deviant? Is it really what the Buddha said? It is not a false Buddha. ”

Hong Yi has read books for more than ten years, whether it is three religions and nine streams, any classics, official or folk. When we talk about merit, we are all talking about how to do good, how to accumulate virtue, how to give alms, and how to do good deeds.

It has never been said that knowing oneself is meritorious.

If this scripture is brought to the court, it will definitely be a cult and a foreign way, and it will be severely criticized, confiscated and strictly forbidden, and spurned by thousands of people.

"Brother Hong, don't study knowledge. The soldiers are also rested, let's make our way through the Serpent Canyon. When Chi Chaiyang heard that it was not a martial arts cheat, nor a Taoist cheat, but a knowledge and scriptures, he had long lost interest, and when he saw Hong Yi, he couldn't help shaking his robe.

"Hmm, put your robe away. Hong Yi came to his senses, put aside the description of the merit scriptures, and fixed his mind. Seeing that his soldiers were resting, he roared: "Ready to go!"

Brush Brush Brush!

Swords collided, bows and arrows hung on their bodies, and all the strong soldiers stood up and lined up neatly.

After the battle just now, this group of soldiers seemed to have grown up all of a sudden!

"Fighting a war still depends on the strength of the core, and the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers can only play an auxiliary role, no wonder the founding king in history, surrounded by several generals, although the army is defeated and fled, but it can be organized at any time, as long as the core is not scattered, the soldiers are easy to recruit! No wonder it is said that a thousand troops are easy to get, and a general is difficult to find. ”

In addition to the soldiers who stayed in the snake canyon and waited for the large army, the strong soldiers under Hong Yi all began to march rapidly.

In the fierce march, Hong Yi recalled the fierce battle just now, and understood in his heart the truth that "a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find".

In the battle with the Green Eyebrow pirates just now, Hong Yi himself took the lead, and Chi Chaiyang, Shen Tiezhu, Xiao Mu, and the five elders of Bai Yun rushed to kill in front, and the rest of the soldiers followed behind, with the "chiseling tactics" to block the invincible, three or four hundred people against five or six hundred, with few casualties, but he was resisted by the green eyebrows, and the forward momentum was blocked, and his subordinates were immediately killed and wounded.

This made Hong Yi understand the role of the core vanguard master in the army.

has always been an army, with an invincible vanguard rushing to kill, when invincible. If there is no invincible vanguard core, no matter how many soldiers there are, they will be defeated.

In the history books, there was once an army of 7,000 people who defeated an army of 100,000 people, Hong Yi couldn't figure out why, and thought it was bragging in the history books, but now he finally understands a little.

"In the future, the men and horses under my command will still be mainly based on jīng Ying masters, assisted by silver money, as long as there are core men and horses and strong financial resources, they can gather a hundred battles at any time. Hong Yi said in his heart.

At this moment, my eyes lit up!

The team has finally made it through the Snake Canyon!

Although Hong Yi had already seen the map and knew that behind the snake canyon was a plain, and in the middle of the plain, there was a mountain city called Giant Whale City, which was the base of pirates, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he knew the magnificence in front of him!

A large plain is unfolded in front of you.

The plain is divided into large patches of land, and next to the land, there are houses, canals, waterwheels, mills, cattle and horses, etc.

Golden paddies, a variety of crops, shimmer on the plains.

The roads, interspersed between the fields, are like official roads of the Great Cadres.

The zhōngyāng of the plain is a city, at a glance, with a radius of thousands of acres, which is not big, as if it were a county seat. In the middle of the city, there are tall houses, and on the walls of the city, there are faint soldiers defending, and flags are fluttering.

"Is this a pirate? not a country?"

Hong Yi felt incredible, in his impression, pirates were ships, dilapidated cottages, and caves. Even if they are powerful pirates, they are nothing more than water houses made of huge wood and so on.

Who knows, the pirates in front of you, the Zhōngyāng Plain of Giant Whale Island, have all built a city! They have also begun to plant and raise! It is completely a posture of establishing a country on the sea and being the king of the city!

"On this Giant Whale Island, there were originally natives, but they were integrated by the three owners of the Giant Whale Island, and with the support of Yunmeng, they were built with great success, and in a few years, I am afraid that it will really become the climate and establish itself as a country! No wonder the Jing Navy wants to move such a big posture? After this place is defeated, it is completely possible to transfer the landless people along the coast and become an overseas province of Daqian!"

Hong Yi muttered.

"Look, someone has already broken through! Fireworks have been lit there, and the siege has begun! It's the vanguard of Wei Lei!" Chi Chaiyang pointed to the city in the distance again, and saw a pair of troops of nearly a thousand people, fighting out of the mountains and forests at the other end, rushing to the official road of the plain, and soon approached the city and began to attack.

Hong Yi's eyes are also very good, and he can see clearly at a glance that it is the vanguard team led by Wei Lei.

"Can't let him break through the city first and rush inside, this giant whale city has countless treasures. Let's kill it!" the golden spider screamed.

"You have a golden spider, what treasure do you want?" Xiao Mu looked at the golden spider who was more excited than anyone else, and asked strangely.

"Well, of course I like treasure. The golden spider looked at Hong Yi and staggered: "Kill it!"

"Naturally, Wei Lei can't be allowed to grab the first credit. Everyone, let's go down!" Hong Yi's eyes flashed, he raised the sword in his hand, and led the people to rush down the snake canyon and onto the official road of the Giant Whale Plain!

This Giant Whale Plain, with a radius of hundreds of thousands of tilts, is surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a natural barrier, and the land on the plain is fertile, and there are abundant springs, it is simply a big granary on the island. It is a good base for building a city and farming on the island.

Hong Yi stepped on the official road of the plain, looking at the rice fields on both sides that had not yet been harvested, and was secretly surprised by the magic of creation.

On this Giant Whale Island, rice is harvested four times a year.

"Childe, there isn't much defense in the city. We can completely break through this city, go straight to the mansion of the city zhōngyāng, and take it first!"

The next time, under the giant whale city, Wei Lei's team of hundreds of people had completely arrived.

Wei Lei looked at the banners on the head of the city, and the few guards, like the enemy, smiled coldly: "That's natural, how many people are there on this giant whale island? They know that they can't defend it, so they all go out to block the jungle on all sides and fight guerrillas." I broke through the blockade first, so naturally I had to break through the city first and enter the scrape!

"Yes!

Beside Wei Lei, a woman with a giant sword on her back nodded hurriedly, and suddenly, she took out a bow in her hand, and an arrow was placed on the bow, this arrow was a wooden arrow, and the arrow was full of dark runes, emitting a strong smell of gunpowder!

The woman shot out with an arrow, right in the middle of the city gate.

Rumble!

The wooden arrow exploded, and the entire city gate trembled. The black soldiers in the city were so frightened that they ran away.

Brush Brush Brush!

This woman is three arrows in a row!

The city gate was shaken by continuous explosions. The old man under Wei Lei, Henglian Taibao Lei pounced fiercely, and slammed his fist on the swaying city gate, boom! The city gate was completely opened.

"Childe, another team of soldiers is coming! It's that Hong Yi!"

At this moment, the people around Wei Lei saw Hong Yi and others who were marching over from a distance on the official road.

"Lei Lie! you take thirty secret guards, go up and intercept and kill! Kill cleanly, don't leave a single one, I'll go to the city first!" Wei Lei snorted coldly.
