Chen Yu took a deep breath, and his waist and abdomen trembled. The next moment, the blue and purple magical power circulated in his body, like ripples, surging in his chest. The next moment, the Dharma image in his consciousness was projected and took root in his waist and back.
This is a method he has recently explored. The Dharma image is too complicated and difficult to analyze, and it is impossible to control the changes. So he settled for the next best thing, combining magic power to reverse the Yuan blood and merge it with the physical body. The three of them work together.
The space that is barely able to carry it contains a trace of the lingering power that the Dharma image overflows.
The effect of this approach is actually not very great, but after many attempts, I found that at least the burden on the body and flesh is no longer so heavy when facing the return of the spirit, the mana flows, and the transformation process becomes much more docile.
Only when you are integrated into the spirit can you truly succeed at this moment. It will not cause too much oppression. It will waste your energy and at the same time make your body on the verge of being broken after the end, and you need to use a lot of the power of creation to repair it.
In the current world, Chen Yu landed on a mountaintop. The glow emanating from his body was undulating like clouds. He looked around a few times and selected a common rock that could be seen everywhere as the object of his next transformation.
The pupils bloom with divine light, and the art of observing all things is in the palm of your hand in an instant.
Layers of texture and detailed structure reveal the eyes.
From the outermost to the deepest parts, including the adhering grass clothes and insects sleeping in the cracks, all are analyzed one by one under the light of the spirit, showing the most authentic side.
That touches the microscopic world.
Integrating Dharma into the body, the characteristics of this creation realm have become more powerful under the influence of Qingzi's mana, or the Dharma image, which is more than 30% more powerful in vain.
However, Chen Yu didn't go any further. He just got to this point and continued to refine. Even if the technique had an increase, it could still be deconstructed, but there was a limit to how he could control the power of creation. It would be difficult for him to weave this by himself now.
levels of creation.
In situations where it is impossible to visualize it with the naked eye, it is possible to do this unless he invests a lot of energy and time to build a microscopic world system that is completely different from the macroscopic world.
Fortunately, there is no need to reach this point this time, and Chen Yu is confident that he will completely control the power of creation in the future.
In the first three months of the three-month coexistence, the power of creation is filled in and used as a bond. After the cycle of coexistence is successfully constructed, the characteristics of the power of creation are not obvious in the blue mana, but it is recorded in the Dharma image like many other powers.
The Dharma Image is the essence of his power, possessing the ultimate principle of change. As long as it is properly developed, Qingzi's magic power will naturally have various characteristics such as blood, spirit, and the power of creation in the future.
Become the most fundamental [Dharma].
In his opinion, this process may be one of the ways to practice the first realm of creation.
As for now, Qingzi's mana strength is too high and his spirituality is too abundant. These are advantages, but they also have limitations in many aspects of utilization, and he needs to make adjustments.
His thoughts were divergent, and the magic power outside his body kept gushing out and turned into clouds. When it was so rich that it almost turned into liquid dew, the Dharma image behind him finally reflected a shadow - a foot-long light wheel slowly emerged from behind, and the light and color were chaotic, as if it was all the time.
In the midst of passage and rebirth, there is an indescribable tranquility and tranquility.
Under the care of the nimbus, Chen Yu's body was changing. This time, unlike before, there was a Dharma image taking care of him, and the whole process of integrating into the spirit was very natural and peaceful.
In just two or three breaths, the person was gone.
There was only a surging ball of misty blue light dancing in the air seven feet above the ground.
Transforming into Xiawu, Chen Yu calmed down and continued with the next operation.
But I saw a wisp of mana flying out of the blue mist, like a thread, wrapping around the outside.
Soon, hundreds of thousands of 'lines' floated out from the mist one after another, interspersed and woven together, and gradually wrapped into one piece like silkworms spinning cocoons.
But compared to the silkworm cocoon, its appearance is not jade-rich white, but porcelain-like indigo, with a hint of blue-purple deposited at the bottom.
Under the sunlight, it shines and is beautiful.
However, the changes have not stopped yet. After waiting for about half a moment, fine lines appeared on the surface of the porcelain, and it began to crack and shatter. The fragments did not fall, but turned into mist again and swirled around, holding up the cocoon.
The next moment, all the condensation was shattered, the light mist gradually dispersed, and everything was immersed.
Boom.
In the fog, a gray bluestone block the size of a human head sank naturally. It weighed a lot. When it landed on the ground, it dented the soil layer by half a finger.
This is exactly the changed Chen Yu.
Whether it is intentional or accidental, the surface of the stone is uneven and the texture seems to reflect a shimmer, making it appear slightly different from ordinary stones.
call--
The wind blew and there was silence.
The stone does not move, as if something is brewing.
It has been a long time, at least far beyond the time limit for the first spirit to return to reality. It has been forty or fifty breaths. The stone is still a stone, and the glimmer of light has disappeared. The cyan color that was originally too conspicuous on the outside has also dimmed.
Looking at it, it looks like an ordinary rock.
twitter!
The spirituality was still strong, and the birds were instinctively friendly, so they fluttered their wings and flew over, stepping on the big rocks with their paws. Not noticing anything strange, they tilted their little heads and looked left and right.
Toot toot!
Shaking his head, the bird's beak pecked it, and found that the hard stone was no different from the rocks seen in the mountains in the past.
Another bird with brown feathers flew over, not far away from the previous one. The two were at peace with each other. They could not sense the rich spirituality, but driven by instinct, they seemed to be immersed in it silently.
He failed to see a slender gap cracked in the stone not far away - that was the tip of Chen Yu's eyebrows.
Two more changes, and two eyes, one big and one small, pop out.
It looked strange. Although he couldn't see the whole picture clearly, he was not used to looking up at the two birds with their round buttocks from the angle of a stone.
So he withdrew his eyes and transformed into raised stone again.
And in the high place, a sense of transcendence transcends the body and overlooks all this, taking everything into its eyes.
"It turns out this is how I feel after the change."
Chen Yu was very excited. The stone displayed in his perception was indeed his own. It looked magical at first glance.
But the more important thing is to feel the strangeness of the Dharma image after the transformation and shaping. The power flowing in it seems to be touched when it turns into stone. I don't know why, but it is always a good thing.
At this moment, he had some understanding of [change].
After receiving the harvest, he has to slowly comprehend and analyze it, and now he enjoys the feedback after turning into stone - this is not an illusion like the mysterious soil space sense technique, but a real change in the structure, turning into a stone.
A square of stone.
Although with the help of the power of creation, we have only achieved macroscopic consistency, if we dig deeper into the fundamentals, the most fundamental parts have still not changed.
But it was enough, he felt. The light wind blew on the surface of the stone, which was different from the skin of the body; sinking into the earth, the body could no longer ride on the wind and support the clouds, and became heavy and difficult to walk...
All this is a new experience.
In the haze, the changes in the light wheel neither increased nor decreased, but quietly became half clear.
The feedback to him was that while he was turning into stone, the pressure that was vaguely approaching the limit was weakening. Although not much dissipated, it was still grasped by him who devoted all his efforts to sensing.
It is really unexpected that the Dharma Elephant was attracted. This time, Chen Yu only wanted to develop more methods by combining the integration of the spirit and the power of creation. He may have the idea of using these to study the Dharma Elephant, but that will all happen in the future.
At first, I didn’t expect anything to happen just by turning into stone.
By accident, I seem to have found a shortcut to master the changes in the Dharma image in addition to exploring the characteristics of mana.
After a moment of emotion, he no longer thought about distracting thoughts, but took the initiative to realize the changes this time.
Within the body, the light wheel rotates quietly, giving birth to thousands of things.
…
Just when Chen Yu was immersed in spiritual practice, turned into a stone and looked up at the sky, and experienced the novel feeling of being a mountain stone, the land of Hejian was not peaceful.
After February, the sky in March of the second year of Zhanghe was particularly bright and the spring sun was bright.
However, this means that under the sun that in previous years would have made countless people gladly offer two more sticks of incense to God, March this year will no longer be safe.
Tap tap tap!
Groups of soldiers rushed up from the shadows of the hillside, and were quickly silenced by the waves of enemies.
Halberds swept across, swords met.
The shield was pressed against a corner, and it collided with the black knight dragging long dust with great difficulty. Over and over again, it was finally knocked away and dispersed, wailing.
kill!
The two sides have clear flags, you come and I go.
Fighting and shouting resounded throughout the mountains.
On March 14, when it was supposed to be the time for sowing, the fields were filled with broken limbs and corpses.
At Mawei Cliff, Yan Chongyue came to this camp again wearing armor and holding a sword.
At the foot of the mountain, there are continuous tents and torches like dragons.
"What's wrong?"
Half a hundred years old, he sat in the general's position, his armor placed on the table beside him, his tone was solemn, and his eyes solemnly scanned the two rows of generals on the left and right of the field.
After everyone waited for a few seconds, someone stepped out with a sword in hand and spoke loudly, like a bell.
"Report to the general!"
"There is nothing going on at Mousekou. The Puppet Qi only sent out a small team of scouts on the ninth and twelfth day of the lunar month to test it out. After half of the number, they never came again."
The leader, Yan Chongyue, looked slightly tired, but his face remained calm. He nodded to the general who reported the report, indicating that he was aware of it.
Someone started to speak, and the atmosphere in the camp suddenly relaxed a lot. Others followed suit and reported the current status of the defense line at the pass they were holding.
"Two lines of ground stab formations have been newly deployed at Dafengkou. If you walk along the mountain, you will encounter one of them..."
"Yumingguan has rushed to stockpile logs, gold juice and other things to defend the city. Now there is plenty of food left in the city. At the end of the day, a puppet Qi army has just been repulsed."
"Guang Tongguan is safe now. Although several groups of troops have invaded one after another, the other party has not attacked forcefully..."
"Two ferries..."
Yan Chongyue listened and his expression finally calmed down a bit, but soon he spoke again and asked about Xiao Chunjiang in the Eleventh Pass.
"General Li and General Chen You are finishing the work."
Well, he nodded, but his heart felt heavy.
This time the Puppet Qi invaded unexpectedly, which was beyond everyone's expectation - they were not surprised by their arrival. The sun was bright and without the rain, it was a good opportunity for the Puppet Qi with a large number of cavalry. Yan Chongyue and others
The generals all knew this, but the place where the opponent struck was unexpected.
I thought that Guangtong, who was facing the Nine Peaks, would bear the brunt of the attack.
Or the four major passes may be used as a feint attack, and troops may be sent to seize the relatively weakly defended Sanguan. At that time, they can break through the pass and then bully the four counties and plunder.
They discussed this for several days and came up with many countermeasures after considering various situations.
As a result... the Puppet Qi did not engage in a head-on confrontation at all, but took advantage of Duzhu County, which was far away from the pass. When the intelligence report was received, the enemy had already reached the edge of Wuzhou!
It’s only four hundred miles away from the capital!
The whole court was shocked and angry. They were surprised that a pseudo-Qi army of tens of thousands appeared inexplicably on their own territory. They were angry that the enemies had all reached their homes and the tens of thousands of people at the border could not even react.
At that time, Yan Chongyue had already realized that something was wrong. Even though the court kept urging the troops to be divided to defend the capital, frames of impeachment memorials flew like snow.
He still ordered all checkpoints to be strictly guarded.
And transferred part of the manpower to Xiaochun River, Liangdukou and other places to disperse the border - this veteran general noticed the other party's premeditated plan, and only more than 10,000 people bypassed the border defense and went to Wuzhou. It seemed like a big problem, but in fact it could play a big role.
limited.
Those in the court were concerned about the lives and property of the state capital, and the enemy was approaching and could attack hundreds of miles in a day and two nights, so they made a noise.
However, Yan Chongyue, who traveled north from southern Xinjiang, knew that there were actually many garrisons around the capital, plus soldiers in various cities and towns along the way. No matter how lax and decadent the weapons were, they would not let the opponent go wild in the hinterland.
"Invasions are like fire, and battles are like wind... Even if this army captures the capital, it will never be able to defend it."
The intention seems obvious.
To divert the tiger away from the mountain? Or to besiege the city and call for reinforcements?
He estimated in his mind that Hejian's troops were already rare elites. If they were pulled from both ends, they would be divided and attacked...
It was night, and Xiaochunjiang was attacked as expected.
The same number of more than 10,000 people, including elite cavalry, took advantage of the darkness to set off torches and attack the guard tower on one side. After attracting the scouts, the main force was not afraid of the danger of attacking halfway across the river and forced themselves across the river to the front, where the two sides connected.
Li Kui fought bravely, but his thinking was limited and his defense was insufficient. If the generals who arranged for defense had not arrived in time, he would have been buried by the river.
In the big tent.
Yan Chongyue frowned as he listened to the audience reporting on the recent situation.
At the same time as the battle at Xiaochunjiang, several other scattered passes were more or less investigated by enemy scouts. There were also soldiers and horses present at the four major passes, but they were not attacked.
He vaguely felt that there seemed to be some conspiracy hidden in it. It was impossible for the other party to know whether the ten thousand people put into the pass had gone or not, let alone expect to capture all the passes with just such a small number of people without dividing their troops.
Liang and Qi had been at odds for almost a year, and both sides knew the other's layout at the pass.
If we really want to win the battle, instead of going all out to stir up trouble in the hinterland, we might as well attack them from the north and the south at the same time, leaving them vulnerable to enemies from both sides.
Furthermore, since he was the general of Zhennan and was not ordered to do so outside, it would be too much to rely on luck to allow him to allocate his troops based on these interferences.
Is it possible to make a mistake...
It doesn't seem that simple.
Just when he was still wondering why those ten thousand people were able to bypass the defense line and enter the country, and why he was trapped in the siege, someone walked in from the outside, but it was his counselor, holding a stack of letter paper.
, a little worried.
"General, there is a letter from the Suzhou Yamen saying that there are rebellions in several places."
"Rogue people?"
Yan Chongyue was stunned and didn't even come back to his senses. The Hejian Land was in such a state of chaos that the common people were either homeless or running away, or their bones were buried on the roadside. How could the rioters gather together?
His thoughts were spinning, and the veteran's expression suddenly changed.
Just at this moment, a guard rushed over in a panic.
"Report!"
"The puppet Qi and Chen soldiers have 30,000 soldiers, attack Guangtong!"
