When Emperor Yi's will reached Li Jing's mansion, Du Shi and Yin Xueniang were not at all happy with the honor of "sweeping the generalissimo", but were only worried that their son and husband would return to the dangerous territory. Li Jing took a lot of time to explain and comfort, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't want to distract Li Jing, who was about to go on the expedition, so they had to make a reassuring gesture on their faces.

Because of the urgency of the military situation, only three days after the decree was issued, the imperial court took Li Jing's 50,000 Shenwu army as the main force, and requisitioned 50,000 horses from all sides, gathering a total of 100,000 troops. Because Emperor Yi was ill, this time the crown prince Yin Shou held a Jintai worship ceremony instead of him. After Li Jing took over the sword seal and other things that symbolized the power of life and death, he immediately appointed Ding Ce as the deputy marshal to help him manage military affairs, Chen Qi and Zheng Lun as the main and deputy vanguards, Yin Rui and Lei Kai as the grain supervisors, and the rest of the generals were all under the tent.

The army was immediately mobilized after a slight reorganization. After leaving Chaoge, Li Jing suddenly summoned Deputy Marshal Ding Ce and said something to him.

Ding Ce's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "Marshal, you said that you have something to do and want the last general to take you to take charge of the army?" However, Li Jing's decision is too absurd, and there has never been a precedent for the commander of the first army to leave as soon as the army is marched.

Li Jing waved his hand and said: "General Ding, don't worry, this marshal is really going to do a crucial thing when he leaves this time." ”

Ding Ce sighed a little helplessly: "Marshal, please forgive the last general, what is more important at the moment than sweeping the North and quelling the chaos?"

Li Jing said with a smile: "General Ding doesn't know that what Ben Shuai is going to do is precisely related to whether the chaos in the north is smooth or not. ”

Ding Ce was puzzled and asked, "What exactly is the marshal going to do?"

Li Jing didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "General Ding thinks that the two armies are fighting, what is the most crucial factor that determines the victory or defeat?"

Ding Shiyi pondered and replied: "The last general once listened to the marshal's explanation of the art of war, and was most deeply touched by the words 'know oneself and know one's opponent, and will not be defeated in a hundred battles', and he believes that the insight between the two armies into the enemy's situation should be the key to victory or defeat. ”

"What General Ding said is exactly!" Li Jing applauded and laughed, "Ben Shuai is here to find two people." If we can get these two people, then every move, word and deed of the enemy army will be known to our army, and won't we be able to win?"

Ding Ceyue was surprised: "What kind of person can be so respected by the marshal?"

"I will know it then. Li Jing smiled mysteriously, "Okay, the military affairs of the past few days have bothered General Ding a lot, and the marshal will go." ”

After saying that, he stepped out of the tent and stepped onto the Black Flame Pony, stretched out his palm and patted it lightly on the head, and the four hooves of the Black Flame Pony gave birth to a cloud of fire, and flew away in an instant, leaving Ding Ce alone below with a wry smile and speechlessness.

The Black Flame Pony flew away, and in an instant, it was thousands of miles away, and it came to a halt above a high mountain.

Li Jing looked down for a while, nodded and said to himself: "Compared to this, it is Qipan Mountain, I calculated that there should be no twists and turns in this trip, and I hope that this trip will not be in vain." ”

He instructed the Black Flame Pony to land in a no-man's land, and then ran a little way to the top of the road, but he saw an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, helping the old and the young, all going up or turning back from the mountain.

Li Jing got off his horse, stopped an old man who was walking up the mountain, and asked, "Dare to ask this old man, I think this road leads to the high mountain in front, why are there so many pedestrians, could it be that there is any special scenery on that mountain?"

The old man saw that although Li Jing was dressed in civilian clothes, he was extraordinary, and he did not dare to slack off, and replied after returning the salute: "The good godfather learned that this mountain is called Qipan Mountain, and there is no special scenery on the mountain, only one Xuanyuan Ancient Temple, the temple is dedicated to the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor, and there are two gods named 'clairvoyant' and 'Shunfeng Ear'.

"Speaking of this temple, it has been abandoned for many years, and then it has suddenly become extremely inspiring. Within a radius of thousands of miles, no matter which family has something difficult, there is no need to go to the temple, as long as they pray sincerely at home, the two divine envoys have seen and heard the Holy Emperor play clearly, and the Holy Emperor will immediately send down the spiritual response.

After the news gradually spread, many men and women from all over the world came here to worship incense, so the road became lively. If you have time, you might as well go to the temple to worship. Whether it is praying for blessings or disasters, as long as you sincerely put in a cigarette, you will be guaranteed to pray for blessings and disasters. ”

A meaningful smile appeared on Li Jing's face, and he said softly: "Since this is the case, I am bound to go." ”

Bidding farewell to the old man, Li Jing got on his horse and went first, galloping along the road to the mountain. When I got to the mountain, I saw an ancient temple that had obviously been renovated in recent years. At the temple gate, men, women and children come in and out, which is very lively. Not far from the door, there are actually several stalls selling incense and candles.

He got off the horse and bought a bouquet of incense in front of the stall, left the black flame horse outside the door, and walked to the temple by himself, but saw that the statue in the middle was indeed the holy statue of Uncle Xuanyuan, and there was a ghost envoy on the left and right sides. The faces of these two envoys are quite vicious: the one on the left has a face like blue indigo, eyes like golden lamps, and huge fangs, and the right one has a face like a melon skin, a mouth like a blood basin, and two horns on the top.

Li Jing lit the incense in front of the incense table, took three steps back and knelt down on a futon placed on the ground, bowed respectfully three times in a row, and recited silently in his heart: "Disciple Li Jing is favored by Uncle Shi and given many treasures. The disciple has nothing to repay, and I would like to wish my uncle Antai with a stick of fragrance. After saying goodbye, he got up and stepped forward to insert the incense into the incense burner on the table.

Turning his head and seeing the men and women who entered the incense after worshipping the Holy Emperor Xuanyuan and then went to worship the ghost envoys on both sides, Li Jing shook his head and smiled, only raised his head and looked at the two clay ghost envoys again, and then turned around and went out.

Gradually, the red sun went down in the west, the bright moon rose in the east, and the bustling Xuanyuan Ancient Temple was silent during the day. Speaking of the incense from the Xuanyuan Ancient Temple, people have also invited the temple to come to the temple, but after the successive temple blessings encountered strange things at night, people said that the Holy Emperor liked to be quiet at night, and did not want to be disturbed by ordinary people here, so he no longer let people preside over the temple. Therefore, every night, the temple is empty.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rolled up in the flats. After the strong wind, two figures of half a height appeared in front of the temple gate, if someone is here, when you can see the appearance of the person who appears is exactly the same as the two ghosts of "clairvoyance" and "shunfeng ear" enshrined in the temple.

The two of them strode into the temple, first bowed respectfully to the Xuanyuan statue in the center, and then turned their heads to look at the clay statues of ghosts on both sides that looked the same as themselves.

One of them laughed and said, "Brother, today's harvest is still not small. After absorbing these aura, you and I should be able to stabilize our supernatural powers. ”

The other person also laughed and said: "Speaking of which, thanks to your cleverness, brother, you can even think of risking the name of these two ghosts to eliminate disasters for those foolish men and fools, coaxing them to come to burn incense and worship, and condense the aura for the two ghosts with the power of the wishes of all beings." Our brother will absorb these spiritual qi again and practice the magic power of clairvoyance and tailwind ear!"

The two of them laughed and were about to absorb the aura condensed by the ghosts on this day, when they suddenly heard a sneer from outside the door: "You two demons are so bold, you dare to make ghosts in the temple of the Holy Emperor!"
