Dayin, Nanman Prefecture, deep in the Mountain of Millions of Gods and Demons, in an unknown place.
A huge volcano towers thousands of feet tall, with a crater diameter of more than a thousand feet. Bright red magma boils, and from time to time waves rise to a height of more than ten feet, making a dull sound.
More than a dozen crimson chains as thick as water tanks extend from the periphery of the crater to the center. A lotus platform made entirely of red metal is tied by these chains and is suspended evenly above the volcanic magma.
A girl who looks exactly like the wooden statue enshrined in the villages and towns outside Anping Pass. She is about eight feet tall, tall and graceful, a dignified and beautiful girl wearing a red robe and covered with necklaces, sitting quietly on the lotus platform.
In Anping Prefecture and outside Anping Prefecture, there are disciples of the Great Vajra Monastery running around in countless counties, counties and towns.
Show off your magical powers, show off your force, set up an altar, worship the Red Lotus Goddess.
When an official entered, the disciples of the Great Vajra Temple immediately mobilized the people to attack, killed all the officials, and burned them all with fire. They called it "the fire of red lotus comes to the world and washes away the filth in the world"!
The more ruthless the methods, the more pious the people's beliefs became.
Vaguely visible, above the girl's head, in the very high sky, wisps of faint ripples flickered and swayed, and traces of dense air as fine as hair fell from the sky, constantly sinking into the girl's head.
Relying on this giant volcano, towering ancient temples and temples stretch for hundreds of miles in all directions.
In the halls and pavilions, old monks wearing red robes were sitting quietly, either chanting sutras or doing exercises.
When a red sun rises in the east, in this ancient temple, a red copper bell with an extremely ancient shape, a hundred feet high and weighing tens of millions of kilograms was hit with a giant pestle by several monks who were over ten feet tall.
ring.
The bell roared and turned into red ripples, rolling away in all directions.
The red sound pattern rushed out for more than two hundred miles, and the void suddenly distorted. In the void that was originally normal, a dark barrier with countless cracks appeared out of thin air.
The void barrier and the red ripples collided violently, making a loud noise and splashing countless electric sparks.
Groups of bald monks in red robes or female nuns with long hair in red robes filed out of the huge Zen rooms. They either went to clean various halls, lit incense wax, or gathered in one place.
Everywhere in the huge square, people holding various heavy weapons were performing martial arts exercises with a sound.
When the bell rang, the misty air that was constantly falling like threads in the sky suddenly surged a hundred times.
The girl sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform opened her eyes slightly and smiled brightly: "Thank you for your hard work, walking disciples outside."
As soon as she smiled, the boiling magma below suddenly calmed down.
The magma became as smooth as a mirror, and then red lotuses rose up from the magma, and the intoxicating fragrance overflowed, just like the floral fragrance of aged wine turning into red mist visible to the naked eye, coiling in the crater.
Thousands of red lotuses slowly bloomed, and then with a 'pop' sound, tens of thousands of lotus seeds spurted out from the lotus pods, entangled and flying under the support of red mist, constantly flashing a strange light.
A team of hundreds of red-robed female cultivators rushed up quickly carrying huge medicine bags. They stood on the edge of the crater, opened the medicine bags, waved their palms, and rolled up in a violent rush, and countless medicinal herbs flew out.
On the lotus platform, the girl formed a mudra with her hands and recited the mantra.
Red flames shot out from her seven orifices and quickly rolled tens of thousands of lotus seeds and countless elixirs into a ball.
A bright rain cloud drifted across the sky and sprinkled a large amount of sweet rain on the crater.
The fire light stirred up sweet rain, which mixed with the lotus seeds and elixir, followed by a crazy spin.
A quarter of an hour later, tens of millions of pills, only the size of sesame seeds, red in color and exuding a rich and strange fragrance, fell from the sky like a heavy rain.
Hundreds of female nuns raised their medicine bags at the same time and shouted "Take it" in unison!
Millions of pills turned into hundreds of crimson rivulets and were quickly put into the medicine bag.
A young monk with a height of two feet, a burly figure, and a serious aura appeared out of thin air beside the crater. He took a deep look at the girl sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform, and then shouted: "Quickly set off to remove these red lotus solids.
The pill is sent to Anping Prefecture for the planned use of the Vajra Temple."
Hundreds of female cultivators clasped their hands together and saluted, and then one by one, they were like fire clouds descending from the sky, descending dozens of feet in one step, and slowly and quickly descended to the monastery under the volcano.
The young monk clasped his hands together and saluted the girl on the lotus platform: "Junior sister, what level of cultivation have you reached now?"
The girl opened her eyes slightly and smiled calmly.
She didn't speak, but a large flame rolled above her head and quickly turned into a fire cloud with a radius of several acres.
A high-pitched roar sounded, and in the fire cloud, a phantom of a statue of a hundred feet tall, with three heads and eight arms, holding various weapons slowly rose up. The mighty and unstoppable spiritual pressure spread in all directions. The young monk was caught off guard.
He staggered due to the spiritual pressure and almost fell into the boiling magma below.
"I have planted the Fiery Golden Lotus, and I am just waiting for the flowers to bloom and the Buddha to appear!" The girl slowly stood up and looked at the slowly disappearing space barrier in the distance: "I don't know when we can leave the mountain gate and go to the outside world.
Take a walk and take a look."
The young monk stood up a little embarrassed and said with a dry smile: "It will happen sooner or later. In today's world, we are hidden dragons. There is barely a small pond in the mountain gate, but the outside world is a desert. Let's go
I can't breathe at all."
"Sooner or later." The young monk murmured to himself with great fascination: "I just hope that the efficiency of the Great Vajra Temple can be faster."
For several days, Zhuge Li's army slowly passed through Anping Pass.
Lu Qian's team was blocked outside Anping Pass and could not move.
Wang Pu's military orders were also passed on.
Lu Qian didn't bother to argue with Zhuge Li, Wang Pu and the others. Since they had tried so hard to keep Lu Qian where he was, Lu Qian should just stay where he was. Could it be that Lu Qian had to pass Anping Pass and then fight with Tai Xiong?
Leading the rebel army to fight?
If it were just Xiong Taidou, Lu Qian would really be in the mood to do this.
But those rebels, he has no such interest.
In the past few days, news continued to spread from all directions, and the counties and counties surrounding Anping Prefecture seemed to have become restless.
Lu Qian's news came from the Forbidden Army garrisons in various counties and counties, but the news about the Forbidden Army was obviously not as well-informed as those local officials.
Those cultural and educational officials seemed to have intentionally blocked the news.
However, according to intelligence from the Forbidden Army from various places - nearby counties and counties have lost troops and generals, and the city defense army has suffered heavy losses. Especially in several counties and counties, the garrison camps of the city defense army have been completely emptied, but there are groups of people outside the city.
Rioters wearing city defense armor appeared.
It is very possible that the city defense armies in those counties have been completely wiped out.
There was a noise outside, and several strong men appeared in the southern mountains and forests with a group of heavily armed people.
In the past few days, none of the troops under Lu Qian's command, including the Forbidden Army, Yulin Army, and Palace Guards, were mobilized. Those sent out to patrol and scout were all Lu Jun and Cang Langqi under Lu Yi's command.
When those strong men saw Canglangqi, they immediately led the group of more than a thousand people to the west, toward Zhuge Li's camp.
The Canglang Riders did not pursue them. They slowly shrank back and returned to the camp, passing the information back.
Lu Qian took his people with him, climbed onto the small earthen bun behind the camp, and looked towards the direction of Zhuge Li's army camp.
From the southeast side of Zhuge Li's camp, a roaring and killing sound came. Two patrol sentries with a total of one hundred people were killed. Those big men rushed out of the mountain forest with more than a thousand people in helmets and armor, pulling
Open a long bow, and a stream of arrows will be shot out.
In Zhuge Li's camp, hundreds of soldiers were unable to dodge and fell to the ground.
A high-pitched horn sounded, and a cavalry force of three thousand people rushed out of the camp and charged towards the civilian rebel army.
The rebel army was not willing to fight. When they saw the cavalry leaving the camp, they immediately turned around and entered the forest.
Three thousand cavalrymen approached the mountain forest and were hesitating whether to pursue them or not. Arrows shot out from the forest and shot dozens of cavalrymen off their horses.
Amid the noise, the cavalry were seen lighting torches and throwing them into the forest.
Lu Qian's eyes twitched when he saw it.
If you don’t dare to go into the mountains and pursue pursuit, why don’t you just set fire to the mountains?
What a talent!
Fortunately, it is nearly March and there is a lot of rain, so we are not afraid of wildfires spreading uncontrollably.
If it were autumn and you set such a fire in the mountains and forests, Lu Qian would have the idea to pull over the commander of the cavalry team and directly accuse him of beheading him in public.
High in the sky, an eagle cried.
An eagle fell. Lu Jun raised his right hand, caught the falcon, and took off the small copper tube tied to its talons.
After taking a look at the information brought by the falcon, Lu Jun winked at Lu Qian and said in a deep voice: "Brother Qian, five hundred miles east from here, there is a 'Chen County'. The county governor is an elected official from our government.
Xiaolian’s uncle Lu? (yu).”
Lu Qian saw Lu Jun's eyes and hurriedly cooperated: "But Uncle Lu is in trouble?"
Lu Jun nodded slowly: "There are 70,000 to 80,000 rioters wandering around the county town. The power of the troops and horses in the county is all in the hands of the county captain. My uncle said that he knew that we were leading the army here and asked us for some reinforcements."
As he spoke, Lu Jun blinked again.
Lu Qian's eyes widened and he shouted loudly: "So, he is my serious uncle and must be rescued. I hold the emperor's scepter and have the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises. Come, break camp, and we will rescue Chujun."
Lu Qian gave the order, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command immediately broke out of camp. In just half an hour, the large group of troops left the valley road outside Anping Pass and headed towards Weijun in the east at full speed.
Lu Qian left with his troops. Although Zhuge Li was confused, he was inexplicably relieved.
Feeling inexplicably happy, he immediately found Bai Xi guilty of not copying the official document carefully and leaving some ink stains on the official document. He then ordered Bai Xi to be dragged out and beaten with thirty army sticks.
Lu Qian left with his army in the morning. Before midnight (15:00-17:00) in the afternoon, a vast ocean of human heads swept over. The main force of the quelling army under the command of Wang Pu finally arrived.
