Chapter 657 The Eastern Expedition Begins

Outside Xiqi City, in the woods.

"Xiao Sheng, you said that the Chan Cult imitates the way of heaven and cultivates the path of ruthlessness. What about our Jie Cult?" Empress Shiji was more interested in what Xiao Sheng had just said. After she came back, she continued to chat with Xiao Sheng.

"Uncle Master, although we, Jiejiao, obey nature and respond to people, we have the intention of intercepting a glimmer of hope. No matter when, there will always be a glimmer of hope.

For example, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong from before, if they were my disciples of Jie Jiao, even if they made mistakes, they would not die, Jie Jiao would give them a glimmer of hope."

"So, what I teach is the path of sentient beings?"

"That's right." Xiao Sheng nodded in agreement.

"What about Master Laozi? What did his people teach and cultivate?"

"Master Laozi cultivates the way of forgetting love."

"The way to forget love?" Empress Shiji was a little confused.

"Yes. Forgetfulness is not ruthless, nor is it sentimental. It dilutes the friendship in the world of mortals and reduces the influence of the atmosphere of the world of mortals on the monks.

When there is need for love, the love is there and never disappears.

When you need to be ruthless, you have already forgotten your love, and your love will not disturb your heart.”

"The way to forget one's feelings is good. We should learn from Master Laozi."

"Yes, uncle. In fact, after practicing in the mountains for a long time and not being stained by the world of mortals for a long time, I naturally forget my feelings."

"To completely forget is to be ruthless. You still need to go down the mountain occasionally."

"Uncle, you are right."

…

Let's talk about Han Rong at Sishui Pass. He soon learned the news that Zhang Shan and Yin Jiao were defeated and killed.

He urgently reported the morning song again.

King Zhou was furious when he got the news and hurriedly summoned civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

Someone remonstrated with the official Li Deng and wrote: "Your Majesty, I recommend Hong Jin, the commander-in-chief of Sanshan Pass."

In "The Romance of the Gods", it was Kong Xuan who succeeded Deng Jiugong as the commander-in-chief of Sanshan Pass.

Now, after the death of Zhang Shan, the great Yuanrong of Sanshanguan, "The Romance of the Gods" said that the chief soldier of Sanshanguan was Hong Jin, and Kong Xuan became the official.

This is what I don't understand.

"Good!" King Zhou agreed with Li Deng's recommendation.

The decree was sent to Sanshanguan again.

This is the third time the edict has been delivered.

The first time was when Deng Jiugong received the order.

The second time was when Zhang Shan received the order.

The third time, Sanshanguan Hongjin received the order, made clear with Kong Xuan, led one hundred thousand troops and marched towards Xiqi.

Who is Hong Jin?

He can be regarded as a disciple of Jiejiao.

Learn a strange skill, Qimen Escape.

There is also a sea mount, Whale Dragon.

In "The Romance of the Gods", Hong Jin went to the west and was captured by Princess Long Ji.

Later, Yuelao and Fuyuan Immortal helped to get Hong Jin and Princess Longji married.

I don't understand why this is the case here.

Guess: Princess Long Ji was probably tricked into marrying a mortal monk. Later, she was dragged down by Hong Jin and died in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

In addition, there are also speculations that Hong Jin is a descendant of the Kunpeng ancestor, and that God Haotian wants to have a relationship with Kunpeng by marrying Princess Longji. This seems unlikely.

Stop talking and get down to business.

Hong Jin led a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to march westward.

Not just for one day.

Arrive at the foot of Xiqi City and set up camp.

In the woods.

"Brother, it is Hong Jin who is coming to Chaoge this time. He is considered a disciple of Jiejiao. Should we let him leave Xiqi and return to the mountain to practice?" Qian Sihai said. He knew Hong Jin's background and had dealt with Hong Jin.

.

"Hong Jin? He is an unknown person. He is not considered a disciple of Jiejiao. He only needs to be warned not to take action against mortals. For the rest, let him fend for himself." Xiao Sheng did not take Hong Jin seriously.

"Yes." Qian Sihai took the order to warn Hong Jin.

The next day.

Hong Jin sent the pioneer officer Ji Kang out of the camp to challenge Xiqi City.

"Ji Kang, Mr. Big Dipper has an order not to use magic on mortals." Before Ji Kang set off, Hong Jin warned him again.

"The general will know." Ji Kang was a man from the left and knew a strange art, so Hong Jin specially warned him.

Prime Minister Jiang Ziya's Mansion.

Jiang Ziya didn't take Hong Jin seriously, and just asked: "Which general wants to go outside the city?"

"The general is willing to go." Nangong Shi asked for a fight.

outside the city.

Nangong Shi asked: "Who is coming?"

Ji Kang replied: "I am under the command of Commander-in-Chief Hong, and I am also the official seal official Ji Kang. I have been ordered to attack you now. If you rebels don't surrender quickly, when will we wait?"

Nangong Shi smiled and said: "For ordinary generals like you, more than a hundred people have died under Xiqi City. If you don't want to die, retreat quickly, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."

Ji Kang was furious and rushed towards Nangong Shi with his sword.

Nangong Shi also waved his sword, rode his horse, and rushed forward.

The two fought for thirty rounds.

Ji Kang was gradually defeated.

He just wanted to use some magic.

Then he suddenly remembered that he couldn't use magic on mortals.

A moment of hesitation revealed a flaw, and he was almost stabbed to death by Nangong Shi.

Another twenty rounds of fighting.

Ji Kang is surrounded by dangers.

Either use strange magic or be hacked to death by Nangong Shi.

Ji Kang had to make a choice. If he ran away, he would probably be hacked to death by Nangong Shi from behind.

As a last resort, Ji Kang recited a spell, and a black cloud appeared above him.

A black dog just appeared in the clouds.

Suddenly, a starlight shot over.

Defeat the black dog and the black cloud.

"Ah..." Ji Kang screamed and fell off his horse, his mouth and nose bleeding.

"Beidou Xingjun has an order not to use magic on mortals. Why are you disobeying the order?" Greedy Wolf appeared in the sky. Thirty-six Tiangang and Seventy-two Disha have been diligently monitoring the battle.

As soon as they discover any violation of the order, they take action immediately.

Ji Kang struggled miserably on the ground, trying to get up, but couldn't. His magic was broken, and his body suffered backlash.

"Since this is your first offense and you haven't caused any mortal casualties, I will spare your life this time, but next time, I will kill you without mercy!" Greedy Wolf shouted. After he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Nangong Shi looked at Ji Kang who was struggling on the ground, and instead of taking advantage of the situation, he withdrew his troops and returned to the city.

Ji Kang's men hurriedly carried Ji Kang back to the camp.

Prime Minister Jiang Ziya's Mansion.

"So it was Xingguan who took action?" Jiang Ziya was a little surprised.

"That's right, if it hadn't been for Xingguan's action, the general might have died due to the evil arts." Nangong Shi was a little scared.

"Generals are easy to handle, but leftists are difficult to defeat. You need to be more careful in the future." Jiang Ziya shook his head. He had seen too many leftist techniques in these years.
