In an elegantly decorated flower hall, two ladies were drinking tea and chatting.
The woman sitting in the main seat is Mrs. Wang of the Jia Mansion, the mother-in-law of Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu. She is wearing a navy blue pleated skirt and is full of smiles when she speaks, "Fairy aunt, Master's birthday is coming soon. "These past few days, I have been worrying about what gift to prepare for my birthday. There are so many rare and rare treasures in my house. I can't get anything out of them after thinking about them carefully. I'm really worried that a few of my hairs have turned gray."
If you look closely, although she is already middle-aged, she still has a soft voice and delicate skin, and she is really well-maintained.
No wonder she can give birth to a beauty like Jia Yuanchun.
The guest lady was slender, with curved eyebrows and a romantic mole at the corner of her mouth. She was Mu Guiying from Tianbo Mansion and a direct disciple of Our Lady of Lishan. When she heard this, she smiled and said, "Madam, you're too polite. My master never cares about this." , why bother to bother." There was a bit of pride in his smile.
"It's God's blessing. I got something by chance a few days ago, so I asked the fairy to taste it." Mrs. Wang smiled and then ordered her servants to bring a square brocade box.
Mrs. Wang personally took out a purple-blue open copper incense burner from the brocade box and held it in front of Mu Guiying.
Mu Guiying didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after she got it, she knew that this thing was not trivial. When she looked closely at the incense burner, it was full of light and contained precious light. When she knocked it a few times, there was a faint sound of pearls and jade. When she turned the body of the burner, she could only see the bottom mark. There are several regular scripts that read "Melting Heaven Furnace".
Mu Guiying was shocked: "How did you get this?"
Mrs. Wang smiled proudly and said: "I thought it would be useless to keep it for myself, so I gave it to the Holy Mother to wish her a happy birthday. I hope she won't dislike it."
"I'm afraid it's hard for anyone in the world to dislike this thing." Mu Guiying played with the incense burner, staring at the seal pattern on it, and said softly.
"Where will the birthday of Our Lady be held this time?"
Mu Guiying's face darkened and she said, "The newly built Star Reaching Hall in the west."
It is difficult for them to return home because there is no one in the Central Plains who dares to openly worship Our Lady of Mount Li.
Ever since they started a war with Li Yu's Zhengjingmen, the situation in the world has changed dramatically. The six dynasties that were originally wary of each other and even had wars suddenly united closely.
Then the Six Dynasties destroyed the master's dojo, and then started a war with Tianting in Bianliang, and now even destroyed the Great Leiyin Temple.
The incomparable authority of heaven and gods and Buddhas in the human world seems to have been exposed overnight.
No one knows why, but the concept that was once so unbreakable was suddenly burst. That’s right, it was just like bursting a bubble.
Several disciples of Our Lady of Lishan once suspected that this was a nightmare, but the master's new disciple, Wang Xifeng, was like a fish in water in the West. He helped the master rebuild the ashram and recruit followers. Now it is quite large.
Wang Xifeng's contribution also gained leverage for the Jia family and the wealthy Jinling family behind it.
Both sides are being squeezed out. The difference is that Our Lady of Lishan has been squeezed out of the Central Plains, while the wealthy Jinling family wants to support it for a while longer.
However, there have long been voices within them saying that it is difficult to resist the imperial power and they will have to leave sooner or later.
When the time comes, he may still have to take shelter under the gate of Our Lady of Mount Li, settle down on her territory, wait for the time to come, and return to the Central Plains with Heaven.
After all, as long as they can gain a foothold in the Central Plains, no one wants to go to the surrounding barbarian lands.
"By the way, when will Feng Yatou come back? In a few days, it will be the birthday of the old lady in our house. Feng Yatou is her favorite junior."
Mu Guiying smiled and said: "Little junior sister? You can send someone to invite her back at any time, but it's hard to say whether she is willing."
Seeing the vastness of the sea, thousands of miles of waves.
Li Yu said loudly: "Haike people talk about Yingzhou, and it's hard to find a letter from Yan Tao."
"Whose poem is this? Why haven't you heard of it?" Zhang Sanfeng asked with a smile behind him.
"Your junior brother's."
"Junior brother is really talented and worthy of being a poet."
Li Yu chuckled. He didn't know whether Li Bai had written it or not. Anyway, it would happen sooner or later.
"Master, I see you are much happier when you come to Japan than when you go elsewhere?"
"Is there any?" Li Yu asked with a smile.
If there is, then it has some grudges from the past life. Li Yu shook his head and said: "I don't know what kind of monsters Japan is, but it is so difficult to deal with. Our master and disciple cannot lose points this time."
"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "Master, we have been beaten and run away many times before. Every time we go back, we just regroup, find helpers, gather friends, think of a way, and then fight back.
"
Li Yu shook his head and said: "Only this time, I will kill you with one strike!"
Zhang Sanfeng looked at the excited master and felt that he was a little extra excited, and he didn't know why.
Perhaps the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was too polite. Zhang Sanfeng remembered that two days ago, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao, personally led several of his close associates to send his master and apprentice out of Yanjing City.
I am afraid that only the emperors of the other five countries who came to Yanjing in person could receive this treatment.
The reef in the distance reveals its pointed head, and there are countless giant beasts hidden in the boundless sea.
Li Yu could feel the long breath of the sea. Those beings might be tired of the battles on land, so seclusion in the sea was indeed a good choice.
Soon, they saw a piece of land, and Zhang Sanfeng asked: "Master, is that Japan over there?"
Li Yu raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He was not sure yet, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go over and have a look."
After they landed, many monsters popped up from the rocks on the seaside.
These monsters were extremely ugly, exuding the faint fishy smell of the sea, and looked at Master and Disciple Li Yu with horrified expressions.
Zhang Sanfeng frowned, clenched the sword in his hand, and was about to take action.
Li Yu stopped him and asked, "Who are you?"
One of those monsters came out from behind the reef and bowed to Li Yu.
They were gibbering, and Li Yu couldn't understand a word they said. When he saw Zhang Sanfeng, his face was full of confusion. Li Yu flashed a golden light on his finger and touched the monster's head.
The monster trembled all over. Maitreya's Dharma was really effective, and he could speak now.
"God, please forgive me, we are the residents of this island."
"Residents?" Li Yu smiled unkindly. These things were too ugly, like puddles of melted asphalt, commonly known as stinky oil.
Li Yu saw that what they were holding seemed to be harpoons made of fish bones, and he immediately believed it.
Li Yu then asked: "Have you ever seen a group of people similar to me here?"
"Yes, there are many. They come from the sea, and Poseidon is their mount. There are tens of thousands of them. After landing, they went east."
Li Yu secretly thought that what he was talking about was probably the Ming Dynasty's army.
Li Yu took a look at these monsters and asked: "You are residents of this island, so are there other species on this island?"
"Only some seabirds come occasionally."
Li Yu nodded, put his hand on the monster's head, and immediately taught him the text.
"You dare to stand up, which shows that you are the braver among your tribe, and you can answer my questions, which shows that you have some courage. I will teach you the writing and language today, and I hope you can lead your tribe towards civilization and development."
The monster was indeed very happy and bowed to Li Yu. When he raised his head, Li Yu and Zhang Sanfeng had disappeared.
Li Yu said to Zhang Sanfeng: "Don't think those monsters are ugly, but in this land, they are much better than the Japanese."
Japan is very big, at least twenty times larger than Japan in Li Yu's original time and space.
Even so, it is still a small country in front of the Central Plains.
Li Yu hovered in the air and soon found a place filled with black mist and evil aura rising into the sky.
Zhang Sanfeng's eyes lit up and he said: "It's probably this place."
Master and apprentice Li Yu shuttled through the air very arrogantly, not taking the monsters here seriously at all.
They have determined that among the Japanese resistance forces, the strongest ones are demons.
This place was probably dedicated to the demon god. After searching in the sky for a while, they found the flag of the Ming Dynasty.
On the yellow flag, the word "明" embroidered on a black background is very eye-catching, and on the flag next to it, the word "Qi" is written.
Li Yu had long known that the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty was Qi Jiguang, who was also a powerful figure. It was perfect for him to come to fight Japan, as he was a professional counterpart.
Sure enough, after landing, Li Yu felt the momentum in the military camp.
This kind of momentum cannot be displayed by ordinary soldiers and horses. It must be an expert in military training to train such soldiers and horses.
In fact, Qi Jiguang's ability in training troops was not inferior to other famous generals in the Six Dynasties.
After the two landed, they were seen by a group of patrolling soldiers and horses. As if they were facing a formidable enemy, they shouted, "Who are they?"
"I am Li Yu from the Zhengjing Sect. Please go and report as soon as possible. I want to see General Qi Jiguang."
Li Yu's name is very famous now, especially after he killed the five gods in Bianliang, he became a legend.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps in the military camp, and Qi Jiguang and several lieutenants came out to greet him personally.
He looked a little excited. After all, he was promoted from a local level. He still wanted to meet the legendary Taoist priest who fought bloody battles with His Majesty in Jinling and helped His Majesty rise to power.
After Qi Jiguang saw Li Yu, he was slightly stunned. He did not expect that the legendary Taoist priest was so young.
He was a little wary at first. After all, the two countries were now at war, and the Japanese on the other side had always been cunning, cunning, and despicable. It was not unusual for them to use any method. They sent someone to pretend to be a serious Taoist priest, Li Yu, and then assassinated the coach or
It is possible to spy on information.
Although he had this suspicion, there was no sign of it on Qi Jiguang's face. He had already made a calculation and tested it himself. If he was really a serious Taoist priest, of course everyone would be happy. If he was a fake, he could also use him.
A soldier never tires of deceit.
"Oh, Taoist Priest, I have heard Taoist Priest's name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. When I saw it today, it turns out that the saying that a hero comes from a young age is really true." Qi Jiguang is different from ordinary famous generals. He does not have so much arrogance.
He is a very practical person.
Because he knew that if you wanted to do something in the Ming Dynasty, you not only had to have real skills, but you also had to learn the ways of officialdom.
Otherwise, there will be no chance of getting ahead at all, let alone displaying one’s abilities.
So when he organized a regiment to fight Japanese pirates in his hometown, the property he captured was not only used for troop training and recruitment, but also a lot of it, and he bribed his superiors.
It was precisely because he was overfed and because his achievements in defeating the Japanese pirates were so impressive that he had the opportunity to serve as the commander-in-chief of this expedition.
Li Yu smiled and said: "This is General Qi? I have heard the name of General for a long time."
Qi Jiguang only thought he was speaking politely, and felt warm in his heart. He felt that although this Taoist priest was very famous, he was quite good-tempered, at least not condescending or domineering.
Li Yu took out the emperor's token, a sword, and threw it to Qi Jiguang.
The latter took the sword and knew its authenticity at a glance. It was His Majesty's Shang Fang sword and was left by Taizu. No one in the world could imitate it.
He respectfully raised the sword in his hand and handed it back to Li Yu.
Qi Jiguang had already confirmed Li Yu's identity, so he was more respectful and brought his master and disciples to the big tent.
There were only generals who went out with Qi Jiguang in the tent. They initially looked down upon the generals in this place, but as the war progressed, they became more and more convinced.
After all, whether a coach is capable or not during wartime is something he can't pretend to be.
Li Yu looked around. Qi Jiguang's tent was as simple as Zhuge Liang's, but Zhuge Liang had very few things, and no matter where he camped, he could always pack his things meticulously. Zhuge Liang only had a few soldiers around him, and they were usually not responsible for chores.
Yes, that is to say, he did it himself.
Qi Jiguang's place was a bit messy, and his armor was even thrown on the ground. His accompanying and informality were evident everywhere in the big tent. Qi Jiguang was always extremely serious in his military training and did not allow the slightest slack or mistake. But for himself
As for the environment inside the tent, his requirements are not high, as long as it can be lived in.
The Japanese sword, which looked like it had been seized, had blood stains on it that had not been wiped off, so it was stuck on the table.
There is a map hanging on the handle of the knife, which is densely covered with various marks. It is estimated that only Qi Jiguang can understand such dense markings.
Qi Jiguang's face turned red and he said, "The tent is so messy, I'm calling the Taoist a joke."
"The war is urgent, so it should be." Li Yu sat down on the stool next to him and said, "I won't talk in circles. This time I came to Japan to help the general and completely eradicate this rude little country."
Qi Jiguang was overjoyed, "I didn't expect the Taoist priest to be so ambitious. I encountered some troubles at first, but as soon as the Taoist priest came, I no longer had any worries."
Everyone knows that Li Yu's magic power is very powerful. After all, he can defeat the five gods by one person.
Could it be that those demon gods in Japan can still compare to the gods in heaven?
Li Yu said: "When I came here, I felt the monster energy around me. There should be some big monsters in the enemy camp opposite, and there were more than one or two. But general, don't worry. I will kill them first before the two armies form.
Their demon gods sacrificed the flag, and the rest was handed over to the general and his subordinate Hu Ben."
"If they can kill their great demon, the Japanese soldiers and horses will look like chickens and dogs to the general!"
