Zhao Shu was depressed, so he left Jiang Ru and went to an open space alone to be in a daze.
"It's rare for you to be so angry." Lingxiao said: "What Jiang Ru said before is not unreasonable. When practicing rituals and summoning souls, you must maintain an upright and impartial heart. The souls of the dead who are detained in the world are full of resentment. If
Being contaminated by it and giving rise to all kinds of violent and disgusting thoughts will only make the Taoist heart dusty and unable to be peaceful."
"I understand, but I just couldn't control it all of a sudden." Zhao Shu rubbed his face. If Lingxiao hadn't stopped in time, he would have killed Jiang Ru on the spot. Looking back now, he felt scared.
"You are not a piece of wood and stone without any thought, you are always entangled with seven emotions." Lingxiao said.
Zhao Shuyan said: "I just... feel like I can't do anything. That village woman last night, it didn't matter if I let her in, or if she didn't. If she had entered the house, she might be able to ask for a few more buckets of rice, okay.
Let the family go through a difficult time, but her reputation is also ruined. This kind of thing can happen countless times once. If she is not allowed to enter the house, I am afraid she will be beaten and scolded by her father-in-law when she goes back."
"You think too much." Lingxiao reminded: "To you, they are just a passing passerby, and the same is true for you to them. You cannot fully understand the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy of the villagers here."
Zhao Mi was silent for a long time, feeling depressed in his chest. He suddenly felt something, and looked into the distance. He saw the village woman from last night carrying two buckets of water to the edge of the field, plowing and working like other farmers, and did not notice Zhao at all.
After watering a field, I said a few words to the villagers passing by, but there was no difference.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Miao murmured: "Yes, I thought I could understand their hardships. In fact, people work at sunrise and rest at sundown. After the husband died, wouldn't they still go to the fields to work? They just
I have to do my best to make a living, and I don’t have time to worry about other things. I’m being hypocritical.”
"Having clothes to cover one's body and having food to eat are equally important to ordinary people no matter in ancient times or today." Lingxiao said: "All the achievements from ancient times to the present are due to the hard work of the world, but some people get it without working.
There are people who work hard but without success, and this is where most of the injustices and sufferings in the world come from.”
Zhao Shu was greatly inspired by these words: "Yes. But with all the injustices in the world, how can I alone change it?"
"If you are determined, just do your best. Don't aim too high." Lingxiao said, "Some things cannot be accomplished by one person in one time and place."
Zhao Shu nodded silently, then raised his hand to watch: "I almost forgot, just now I felt that my strength had doubled. What was that about?"
"The Hidden Text of the Divine Tiger was created based on the true form and charm of Bai Egong. In addition to its ability to control evil spirits, it also has the power to bless the body with great power." Lingxiao explained: "You have made some progress in your cultivation recently, and you accidentally understood it.
It’s also common.”
"Mighty and powerful?"
Lingxiao said: "The original body of Mr. Bai E was very strong, and his strength of muscles and bones was comparable to that of a dragon in the water. Even if he changed his body, he could throw a rhinoceros with his hands and rub iron like mud. When I created "The Hidden Text of the Divine Tiger", it became
This is because we consider that future generations who practice this method, if they encounter a fierce evil spirit and fight at close range, and have no time to make hand seals and recite the incantation, they still need to be strong physically to fight with it."
"That's right." Zhao Shu said: "Several times in the past, when I faced those veterans of many battles, they were suddenly attacked by swords and guns, and I had no time to hide."
"It's not enough to be mighty and powerful. Your martial arts skills are shallow and you can't rely on this method to fight against others." Lingxiao said.
Zhao Shu smiled: "You are really good at boasting. My martial arts skills are not simple. I can't use swords, guns, bows and arrows. I'm lucky if I don't hit myself with the sword. The teacher said that I'm not a martial artist. I can only rely on my strength."
Call in troops and horses to meet the enemy."
"But Tie Gong gave you some advice on refining the Tiger Talisman before, but you made no progress." Lingxiao said.
Zhao Shu took out the golden tiger talisman from his arms. In fact, whenever he had free time during these days, he tried to use the true form of the divine tiger to sacrifice this thing. However, this Yinhu Order was not like a life contract ring, no matter how Zhao Shu placed it
Infuriating Qi, hooking and sensing, it is still as solid as iron and stone, without any change.
"I guess it's because I haven't cultivated enough." Zhao Shu said: "The method of sacrifice mentioned by Tie Gong is actually similar to the method of cutting paper to transform into a human being, or tying grass to transform into a horse. It temporarily turns dead objects into living ones. But the paper man
The straw horse can only fool ordinary people, and it cannot withstand destruction at all, so it cannot be used for fighting.
If you want to turn Yin Hu Ling into a lively and agile tiger, as strong as iron and stone, it will probably take a long time of sacrifice. It has only been a few months, and it is normal that there has been no progress. Moreover, the ancient seal script on the tiger talisman is inlaid with gold.
I can't decipher it, but there may be clues in it. After the bandit suppression is over, I plan to go back to Huaiying Hall and read the book."
Lingxiao couldn't recognize the ancient seal characters on the Yinhu Order, which were inlaid with gold. Zhao Shu thought that the twelve Earthly Branches Order itself was made by the Tianxia Dynasty. Maybe the books in the Chongxuan Hall had records about this order. Unfortunately, Zhao Shu didn't recognize it either.
There is no way to enter Chongxuan Hall.
Ten days later, the county government officials escorted a batch of grain and rice to arrive. Zhao Shu quickly gathered the villagers and divided the grain and rice in public. The villagers thanked him one after another and hoped that Zhao Shu could stay as a guest, but Zhao Shu still said he was busy with official duties.
Reason to say goodbye.
In the carriage, Jiang Ru no longer fidgeted as she did in the past, but leaned in the corner and remained silent.
"I'm sorry, I was rude earlier." Zhao Shu thought for a moment and said, "It's my fault for offending Miss Jiang. Please forgive me."
Jiang Ru raised her eyes slightly: "Zhao Fu, you don't have to be like this, I'm used to it."
Zhao Shu asked: "Liang Shuo usually treats you like this?"
"Absolutely." Jiang Ru changed her posture and relaxed: "You don't understand that these children of high-born families have been pampered for a long time and indulged as much as they want. Liang Shuo is already well-educated and rarely beats or scolds his servants. Some Liangs
Before the disciples could perform the crowning ceremony, they made several maids pregnant, then turned around and drowned them in the well."
Zhao Shu frowned: "Shouldn't those who cultivate immortality abstain from sexual intercourse? Is it such a waste at such a young age?"
"Do you think there are still some descendants of the Yongjia Liang clan who are dedicated to cultivation?" Jiang Ru sneered.
"With Qingya Zhenjun Zhuyu in front of him, Liang Shou's magical power reaches the sky. Even if he doesn't talk about the far-off immortality and soaring in the sky, don't they want the power of the magic?" Zhao Shu was puzzled.
Jiang Ru sighed: "Maybe it's just that I have seen too much since I was a child, but I don't value it. What's more, to be able to really perform magic requires years of hard practice. Not everyone has this kind of patience and aptitude. Time passes.
After a long time, there is no achievement, and most people can't persist. What's more, the environment like that of the Liang family in Yongjia, no matter how bad it is, they still have enough food and clothing, so why bother to work hard and make progress?"
"I originally thought that it was because my family was wealthy and I had no worries about food and clothing that I devoted myself to mystical cultivation," Zhao Shu said.
Jiang Ru smiled helplessly: "Zhao Fuli, people like you are becoming increasingly rare these days. My ancestor of the Jiang family was a celestial fox. He knew that Xuanmen immortality had flourished in the past, and the trend of cultivating immortality and learning Taoism spread throughout Kunlun Continent. But now this
In this year, it would be good to be able to barely hold on to the things passed down by our ancestors and sages."
Zhao Mingze said: "The so-called great rise of Xuanmen's immortal way cannot make the general public become immortals. After all, the matter of cultivation is the selfish achievement of a very small number of people."
"Official Zhao Fu is so strict." Jiang Ru sighed, deeply feeling that the man in front of him was really weird.
…
Yang Liujun stood at the top of the city in Gaoling County, looking at the huge military formation slowly approaching in the distance, without any panic or nervousness.
"The armored chariots are marching forward in formation. It seems that they are learning lessons and are worried that I will rush into the formation and attack and kill them." Yang Liujun said with a smile.
Next to him, Sang Huazi held a talisman fan and said, "This armored chariot barrier is not very high and cannot stop Mr. Yang Liu at all."
"Haha, you can't stop me, but you can stop other ordinary soldiers." Yang Liujun said: "Wei Xiuwen deliberately lured me out of the city. If I broke into the chariot formation, there would definitely be countless arrows and spells waiting for me.
.This is a formation used to deal with monks. Once you and I are trapped, it will be difficult to escape by leaping. Ordinary soldiers and horses will be blocked by the chariot formation, unable to help you and me break out."
Sang Huazi asked: "But what if we don't leave the city?"
"Then Wei Xiuwen can attack the city with peace of mind." Yang Liujun pointed to the flying stone chariots and ladder chariots behind the chariot formation: "Gaoling County does not have deep ditches and thick walls, so it is not difficult to attack by force. They have complete soldiers and armor.
When soldiers fight together, the advantage is greater."
Sang Huazi shook his head and said: "Our troops are weak and it is unsustainable to hold on to the city walls."
"So we still have to go out of the city for an assault." Yang Liujun said, "We must inflict heavy damage on Wei Xiuwen under the city."
"Please give the order, Mr. Yang Liu." Sang Huazi said, cupping his fists.
"I have made arrangements for Dongzhang." Yang Liujun turned around and said, "You come to guard the city wall, and I will lead six people to form a Star Fire Burning Wild Formation and fight directly out of the city."
Sang Huazi's face changed slightly, but he still agreed.
"Everyone, follow me out of the city and kill the enemy!"
Yang Liujun shouted loudly and jumped out of the city wall, followed by six Chiyundu monks, wearing ocher red armor, each holding a weapon, muttering something in his mouth, and in an instant, the fire circled and roared, surrounding the seven people.
From a distance, it looked like a huge fireball, heading straight towards the army outside the city.
When General Wei saw the fireball coming, he raised his hand to signal to his side. He immediately sounded the horns and formed a camp. The car formation stopped immediately. The monks in the dispersed formation chanted a mantra at the same time. The white golden light of the Golden Armor Technique spread out like a tide.
, then hundreds of archers raised their bows one after another.
Before the arrow could reach the bowstring, the monks from Jiangzhen Pavilion waved the blue flags and flags, and there was a phantom of a dragon hovering above the military formation, turning into a frosty forest and hitting the fireball head-on.
There were several booms, ice and fire clashed, white steam filled the air, and the archers in the formation fired their strings at the same time.
But just as the strong wind roared, the white air dispersed, and the arrow was rolled back to the ground. Yang Liujun and the six Chiyundu monks stepped on the fire cloud and were unscathed.
The arrows landed, and the military formation below changed again. The monks from Feilian Hall were well prepared, and the swirling wind protected the soldiers. The few female cultivators from Mingxia Hall raised their flying silk ribbons, and turned into dense rays of light to try to seal the retreat of the monks from Chiyundu.
.
Yang Liujun led everyone to fly away, his big sleeves bulging, and his true energy gathered. The cultivator from behind, Chiyundu, sacrificed his magical weapon. As the formation changed, a ball of red thunder and fire gradually took shape between Yangliu Jun's palms.
"How can I give you full power?!"
There was a loud shout in the formation, Luo Xixian jumped up, flew in the air, and the cold light of his sword energy shot directly at Yang Liujun.
Immediately, another Chiyundu monk stepped forward and connected more than ten talismans to form a curtain, barely blocking 70% of the sword energy. He also used his body to resist the remaining sword energy, and blood immediately spurted out.
Yang Liujun completed his performance, and pushed the red thunder fire in his hand outwards. Hundreds of red electric snakes scattered in the sky above the nearby military formation, bursting out in all directions, and immediately exploded with flesh and blood flying everywhere. Countless screams, looking down from the sky, in the military formation
There is an obvious gap.
"presumptuous!"
Luo Xixian shouted angrily and waved his sword. The sword energy overlapped like waves and was dizzying. Immediately, a Chiyundu monk was chopped into several pieces.
"Little devil Luo!"
Yang Liujun was splashed with the blood of his comrades. Although he could not see his expression under the mask, his warm voice became hoarse and unpleasant, and he pressed down with a huge palm print with his backhand.
Luo Xixian's sword force turned, and the sword energy lingered like a whirlpool, neutralizing most of the power of the palm mark. When it hit the ground, it shocked the surrounding soldiers and knocked them down. Fortunately, it did not cause huge damage.
"put!"
General Wei gave an order, and the twelve ballistae hidden in the rear formation lifted up the tarpaulin. The spear-like crossbow bolts were accompanied by the sound of the machine gun, the wind screamed, leaving twelve flames in the mid-air, shooting directly into the red clouds in the mid-air.
All monks.
The power of this crossbow bolt was astonishing. Even with the support of the formation, three monks were pierced by the crossbow bolt on the spot and fell downwards.
But this time, Yang Liujun couldn't protect his comrades. There were three crossbow arrows in front of him. If he hadn't reacted in time and turned the Xingbu Zhenqi into a barrier, he might have been hit hard by them.
Yang Liujun took a closer look and saw that the crossbow arrows were simply spears with inscriptions on the spearheads. As the aura circulated, he saw that they were specially used to deal with monks. Looking up again, the person wielding the crossbow was not
Ordinary soldiers, but several monks from the Huaiying Hall, rely on identifying qi mechanisms to target themselves.
Wei Xiuwen had another strategy this time. Yangliu Jun was frightened and angry. Fortunately, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. A fast and fierce light cavalry suddenly attacked the imperial army from the flank. Dongzhang Sanren showed great power and released two fire dragons.
Big kill, special kill.
The Guanshi monks were restrained and concentrated by Yang Liujun and his group, and the defense on the flanks was quite loose. General Wei frowned and waved his hand, sending hundreds of elite cavalry prepared in advance to support the flanks, trying his best to stabilize the front.
In the direction of the Chinese army, after a round of crossbows, the monks from the Guanji Temple made another move. Several monks from the Jiangzhen Hall chanted incantations around the pottery urn. A black wind flew out from it and turned into several iron ropes holding talismans.
Like a giant python trying to wrap itself around Mr. Yangliu.
"White Urn Locking Demon Technique?" Yang Liujun pulled out his body, protected the remaining comrades and retreated. The ten fingers of his hands joined together to form a sword technique, and his true energy condensed into the Heaven-Pointing Divine Sword, and he slashed downwards.
The magic sword and the iron rope intersected, but there was no earth-shattering excitement. The demon-locking iron chain made a clanging sound, actually entangled the magic sword and dragged it into the pottery urn.
Yang Liujun only felt that his true energy was stagnant. The monks from the Feilian Hall below seized the opportunity and counterattacked with the wind knife, along with hundreds of arrows, which were bound to kill Yangliu Jun in front of the formation!
Seeing that the bandit was about to be beheaded, a majestic sword energy came from the head of Gaoling County, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth, and directly wiped out the rain of wind knives and arrows.
When the sword energy passed by, the chariot formation like a copper wall and an iron wall was easily torn apart, and thousands of soldiers in the front row were shattered into pieces. The wind and clouds were turbulent, and the other soldiers fell like reeds in the wind. More than half of the flags in the army were destroyed, and the large banner of the central army was even strangled by the sword energy.
broken!
After the strong wind passed, General Wei's red tassel fell from the top of his head, and his expression became stiff. Everything in the army was silent, but he saw a man standing on the tower of Gaoling County, holding a divine sword, shining brightly.
