Eight hundred and seventieth chapters Leiyin Temple
In the seventh and eighth years of Yuanwu's reign, several major events occurred.
First, the sixth vassal king who rose up in rebellion in the world appeared, the King of Chu in the south. This direct relative of the foreign vassal, who was as indistinguishable from the King of Han, became the first among the princes and kings in the four corners of the world to raise the flag.
Then the seventh and eighth foreign vassals who raised their flags also appeared, also from Nanyu. The kings of Yue and Wu negotiated peace with the king of Chu in the eighth year of Yuanwu, and then the army turned around and headed north.
The Four Southern Kingdoms, which is supposed to be the place where the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty has the deepest roots and where two direct descendants of the clan came to the country, has become the place of the greatest rebellion.
Among the four kingdoms, the Chu, Yue, and Wu kingdoms that reformed five hundred years ago and served as direct relatives of the Zhou royal family all rebelled. However, Shu, who fought two fierce battles with the Zhou army five hundred years ago, was defeated, and was defeated and asked to surrender.
The country firmly stood on the opposite side of the three kings.
Nanyu, and even the six Lingnan states of the empire, are also in chaos!
Secondly, in the seventh year of Yuanwu, the coalition forces of King Ning and King Liang combined millions of troops to attack Xuzhou, an important place in the east-central part of the empire. After a fierce battle in May, the old soldiers of the division were exhausted, and the imperial reinforcements arrived. The Ning-Liang coalition forces were defeated in Xiapi and suffered heavy losses.
The number of soldiers increased to 600,000. King Ning and King Liang then withdrew their troops and returned to their own states. The threat to the imperial court on the eastern front was sharply reduced.
Third, there were riots and small-scale uprisings among the people in various places.
What is the war fought about? It is not just the battle between generals and soldiers fighting on the battlefield, but also the national power, people's power, materials and transportation. The mobilization of millions of troops from all parties, the fighting of tens of millions of troops, the losses behind it
The indirect impact brought about by the transfer of civilian workers is an astronomical figure that cannot be calculated.
During the thirty years of peace in the country, the capital accumulated for recuperation and savings was quickly evaporated and squandered in six years of hard work. Both the imperial court and the local princes had reached the point of drying up.
It is a joke to starve rats to death in the warehouse, but it is not false to say that the family has been completely ruined.
It can be said that the war has been going on for eight years, and the initial explosive power of money, food and military preparations made between the imperial court and the various vassals for the war has passed.
Just like the fight between two people, the first period of fierce, fierce, large-scale, fierce, this period of fierceness has passed, that is the time for each other to temporarily shrink their claws and lick their wounds. In other words, after the fight,
The war reached a stalemate.
Relying on the previous rapid advance, the imperial court failed to capture the anti-kings in various places. The anti-kings also failed to capture the imperial court, so the fight was considered a draw.
Zhu Biao was very emotional about this. In eight years, in his previous life, the War of Resistance was victorious, but here it seems that the first stage has just ended. This world is really too big, and the population base, combined with the world's ten
There are one hundred and thirty-eight states in the rest of the country, which is also a jaw-dropping number.
The age of cold weapons. Based on such a large value, it is no wonder that after eight years there is still no end in sight.
The scale of the war was shrinking rapidly. The previous frequent battles involving millions of soldiers disappeared in the second half of the eighth year of Yuanwu. In the ninth year of Yuanwu, there seems to be no trace of them.
Just because every battle involving millions of soldiers requires a huge burden in terms of materials and people. When the wealth of both sides becomes completely depleted, such large-scale attacks and battles will naturally be unable to continue.
initiated.
Most of the current battle formations are maintained at a scale of 100,000 people. This is something that a war zone with a "state" as a unit can afford. If there is support from behind, it will be a relatively easy burden. The armies of both sides are all hoarded in
The city was immobile, and the King of Tang had organized a large number of refugees and civilians to establish military camps.
In another form, these people who lost their homes in the war have become an important link in the war machines of both sides.
After all, compared with taxes and levies, the benefits from the Tang Dynasty's military operations were undoubtedly many times greater.
The human race in the Central Plains has always been a farming society, and the farming and war system is the foundation of society. Farming precedes war, and without farming there is no war.
"Dad, Dad, Mom asked you to go back. Uncle Qi and Grandpa Gong are here..."
Zhu Biao transferred to Hedong in the second half of the seventh year of Yuanwu. The brothers had been away for more than a year and were homesick, tired, and tired.
In the eighth year of Yuanwu, Shan Yuping successfully gave birth to a pair of twins, a daughter and a son. Half a month earlier than Shan Yuping, Song Yingzhu gave birth to Zhu Biao's second child, Zhu Biao's first.
a daughter.
During the year when I returned home, the General Mansion was filled with laughter.
In September of the eighth year of Yuanwu, Zhu Biao did not lead his army south. Instead, he only took 3,000 bodyguard cavalry and went down to northern Xinjiang to take charge of Zhu Hong's cavalry. However, his reputation was too great. Everywhere the cavalry went,
The Zhou army closed the city gate tightly and did not dare to fight in the open field.
In April of the ninth year, Zhu Biao returned to Hedong. Until now, in the midsummer, he is peaceful and peaceful, leisurely fishing in the backyard pond.
The pond is three acres in size. It was expanded just two years ago. Now the area of the General's Mansion is three times larger than before. It is directly connected to the moat outside the city, providing running water and raising fish.
The little jade ghost, who had not been seen for a long time, was paddling leisurely in the water. Because of its troubles, Zhu Biao didn't catch a single fish for an hour.
If he was really fishing, he would have wanted to throw that guy to death. Zhu Biao was just enjoying a leisurely and soothing mood. Sitting under the shade of the willow tree, with blue sky, white clouds, and sunshine, it was a peaceful and relaxing feeling.
Filling his limbs and heart.
Zhu Biao likes this feeling——
This kind of success and fame, this kind of lifting people up, that kind of ease and appropriateness.
"Qi Qiuyu, Gong Wuhui..." What are they doing here? Is there a big case happening in Hedong?
With Xing Tian laughing, Zhu Biao classified a group of masters into the six gates of Hedong counties. This is a very funny reality, enemies in the past are now comrades-in-arms.
But, there is no way.
The six gates under the control of the imperial court were not strong enough. There were Jianghus and spies from nowhere coming and going in Hedong. Zhu Biao had no choice but to recruit people to fill in the gaps.
Qi Qiuyu is the chief arrester of the six gates of Yongling County, and Gong Wuhui is the guest minister of the General's Mansion. In fact, he is the Zhenhai God Zhentie in Hedong. After all, Zhu Biao is not often at home, and his status does not allow him to
Every time he takes action at will, Gong Wugui's existence makes up for this.
Although the strength of Song Yannan, Song Yingzhu, Zhu Qiangsheng, Yuantong, Yan Qing and others has never stopped growing, except for Song Yannan who has touched the threshold of martial arts perfection, the others are still far away from the perfection of martial arts, and are just shy of the innate grandmaster.
Even further away.
After going through the Flame Mountain Conference, Zhu Biao did not underestimate the Xiantian Grandmaster, but valued him even more.
There are "many" innate masters, but this cannot hide the fact - only those who are innate masters can get on the stage!
Don’t believe it?
There were more than 2,000 people who looked at the imperial court. But the people's eyes were always looking at only the thirty innate masters.
"What? Wei Feng was caught?"
Looking at Qi Qiuyu in shock, Zhu Biao couldn't believe what he heard. Then he looked at Gong Wuhui...
"Ahem..." A flush flashed across his face as he coughed. "I am old and incompetent, and was defeated by the great monk of Leiyin Temple. So I had to come to ask for the commander--"
There was silence in the small flower hall. Zhu Biao pondered and pondered, is that string of silver bells really of such great value that it is worth Leiyin Temple not to offend himself?
He called Zhou Yunfei and asked him to tell Shan Yuping to bring the silver bell. Zhu Biao handed it to Qi Qiuyu and took it to Leiyin Temple. There is no need to say more.
After leaving the General's Mansion, Qi Qiuyu and Gong Wuhui looked at the string of silver bells in front of them. They looked through them carefully and did not miss any trace, but they could not find any traces of 'extraordinary'.
They had never heard Wei Feng talk about this silver bell, and they had never heard Wei Feng talk about his relationship with Dashuai Zhu's sister. If the old monk from Leiyin Temple hadn't told him, they wouldn't have known about it.
Wei Feng still has such a past.
But it doesn't matter. Qi Qiuyu and Gong Wuhui are two "outsiders" from Wuliangdao. The other is someone who has traveled abroad for decades and has retired. Wei Feng can be forgiven for not telling them this.
.
But since Wei Feng was approached by Leiyin Temple, the news must have been leaked. In other words, Wei Feng had told others about the silver bell.
Qi Qiuyu and Gong Wuhui were helpless. Wei Feng just did what he did. Why did he leave the tail behind? Didn't he know how much trouble that thing had caused in Beiyu and Northern Xinjiang?
At this moment, in the general's mansion.
After Qi Qiuyu and Gong Wuhui left, Zhu Biao rubbed his chin and remained silent for a long time.
"Yunfei, tell me to go down and find out every move of Leiyin Temple..."
"Yes, young master."
Zhou Yunfei nodded and left. As Zhu Hong's heir and the de facto general manager of the foreign government, Zhou Yunfei not only controlled an elite private army of the Zhu family, but also controlled a team of secret agents. His functions were limited to Hedong County.
, but such a limited scope makes it mature more quickly.
As long as the people from Leiyin Temple are in Hedong County, Zhu Biao won't worry about not finding them. And if necessary, Zhou Yunfei can contact the Liu family and Liumen, so it won't be a problem to search for them.
"Amitabha, you are so good." A kind-faced old monk, holding a silver bell in his hand, proclaimed the Buddha's name to the expressionless Qi Qiuyu. "Huikong, go and invite Donor Wei to come out and talk to the two benefactors.
At first sight."
The old monk who issued the title of Duzhen handed Wei Feng over to Qi Qiuyu and Gong Wuhui. Whether it was words or actions, he was so equal and respectful. But the fact is that this move itself carries too much
It is oppressive and too powerful. Therefore, whether it is equality or respect, it must be put in quotation marks.
Qi Qiuyu was very unhappy with Wei Feng who was unscathed. But he also knew that whether it was old monk Duzhen or his nephew Guanghui, two innate masters wanted to take down Wei Feng, but Wei Feng really didn't need it.
He was injured. He had no strength to resist at all.
"You can stay in the Yamen with peace of mind for the next half year. Leiyin Temple can know about the silver bell, and so can the Demon Sect. It's better to be careful——"
Wei Feng drooped his head. In front of Qi Qiuyu and Gong Wuhui, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't raise his head.
"Wei Feng understands."
After dryly speaking three words, the atmosphere between the three of them became completely silent. The scorching sun was like fire, but it could not dispel the coldness in the atmosphere around the three of them.
"You want to go out? Didn't you agree to go to my little sister's house?"
Dressed in casual clothes, Zhu Biao looked harmless. But Shan Yuping, who knew him well, knew that the large outer robe was covered with Han Chi inner armor, and the seemingly ordinary long sword on his waist was actually sharpened like clay.
The world's magic weapon. Not to mention Zhu Biao's seemingly pleasant face, but actually hides his sharpness.
Shan Yuping was very uneasy and confused at the same time. Since the Chinese New Year, Hedong has been very stable, and I haven't heard of any major problems that require Zhu Biao to solve.
"Don't worry. I'll be back as soon as I can—"
Although he knew the power of Leiyin Temple in his heart, Zhu Biao was still confident.
The group of people rode their horses out of the General's Mansion and stopped in the willow forest ten miles outside the south gate, waiting quietly for the arrival of Du Zhen, Guang Hui and his entourage.
"Two masters, your Leiyin Temple family has a great cause, and to be honest Zhu Biao doesn't want to offend someone. If you can follow the rules and go to the general's house to say something, Zhu Biao will give you the silver bell without saying a word.
But now this thing is too unreasonable, just kidnap someone, if Zhu Biao lets you leave like this, I, Hedong, will become a joke in the world of martial arts."
"Which of the two masters is here to give me some advice? Zhu Biao will make a bet with the two of you on which one of us is more powerful.
If you win, Zhu Biao will run away. If you lose, your things will stay—"
"Amitabha."
The eight monks from Leiyin Temple were silent. After getting the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Ling, Du Zhen and others thought that Zhu Biao was self-aware and was too sensible to come to seek shame. But they never expected that he would be here in Liulin.
Wait, the sharpness in the words still rang the bell.
"That's good, that's good. I hope the donor can calm down. The poor monk took offense out of his heart. I wish the donor can forgive me."
Zhu Biao laughed. I'm sorry for the offence. Just think about it so easily? I'm not a groveling Manchu!
"Master, if you Leiyin Temple wants to lose face, can I just tear off Zhu Biao's face? Let's not talk too much, let's just show our skills! It doesn't matter if you are one on one, or two against one. I wish someone
then--"
The Zhanlu Divine Sword was held horizontally in his hand, and a sword energy soaring to the sky came from his body.
Du Zhen was in trouble, but Zhu Biao didn't give up any face, and really regarded himself as an equal to Leiyin Temple. This made him, an eighty-year-old monk, feel an unknown fire!
Don't say it's Hedong. Don't say it's the Zhu family. Even the entire Northern Han Dynasty and Beiyu can hardly be compared with Leiyin Temple.
But Zhu Biao refused to give up face, which was difficult.
The old monk Du Zhen is very confident in his own martial arts. For example, Gong Wuhui, who has also been an innate master for many years, can assert that his nephew Guang Hui will win without having to take action on his own. The two competed, and sure enough, the three
After a hundred moves, Guang Hui came out victorious.
But Zhu Biao is different from Gong Wuhui. Although he is old enough to be a grandson, he is really strong enough to be a grandfather. No matter how self-sufficient Du Zhen is, he never thinks that he can beat three with one and kill one.
Half and half.
However, he had to step up at this juncture.
The deputy seat of the Luohan Hall of Leiyin Temple could not lose the reputation and prestige of Leiyin Temple. At this moment, a figure gracefully came out before him.
This man is a sixty-year-old monk dressed in white monk robes, but with a very skinny figure. Between his eyebrows, there is a fingertip-sized red cinnabar bloody hemorrhoid! It is Guang Hui, his nephew who is known as the "Evil Monk" in the world.
.
As soon as the monk appeared, he clasped his hands and said to Du Zhen: "Uncle Master, please wait a moment. I will invite my nephew to fight in this battle and ask for some advice from the benefactor."
Like a ray of sunshine in the gloom, an extremely rare smile appeared on the serious face of the old monk Du Zhen.
He nodded slightly and said, "That's fine! Master Nephew Guanghui, be careful!"
After that, he slowly stepped back five feet.
Du Zhen has already made a calculation in his heart. When necessary, he can give up certain things. Even Zhu Biao doesn't dare to hold on to things. The Demon Sect is not as easy to talk to as himself. Honey for one's self is better than arsenic, and it is always a hot potato.
It should still be open.
Guang Hui came forward, and although Shao Leiyin Temple would be disgraced if he lost, it would be better than losing himself.
Zhu Biao threw the Zhanlu Divine Sword backwards, and the little girl disguised as a man took it and backed away. Although she was married and had children, she was still far from letting go of martial arts. It was Liang Jin who was originally a weak scholar.
Over the past few years, he has been 'trained' to become a master of swordsmanship.
The two of them combined their swords, and with Gong Wuhui's strength, he couldn't defeat it even if he didn't have three to five hundred moves. And this kind of 'strength' was still the result of not being able to truly master the "Jade Girl Su Xin Sword Technique".
After all, "Jade Girl Su Xin Sword Art" emphasizes the unity of men and women. The friendship between Xiao Mei and Liang Jin can be compared to that of Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu. Although the truth is not good, Zhu Biao would not admit it.
Guang Hui put her palms together in front of Zhu Biao and gave a slight salute, saying: "It's rare for Zhu Biao to teach me fists and kicks, so I appreciate it." After all, among the three skills of Zhu Biao's sword and spear, swordsmanship is the most famous.
.
As soon as the words stopped, Monk Guanghui took three steps back, with his palms slightly downward, his steps were steady, his energy was absorbed into his Dantian, and he held Yuan Shouyi, his expression as steady as a mountain. This was one of the many magical skills of Leiyin Temple.
The pioneering style of "Hundred Steps Divine Fist".
When Zhu Biao saw Monk Guanghui saying "Thank you", he nodded secretly in his mind. After all, Leiyin Temple still had basic qualities. Looking at Monk Guanghui's posture, he couldn't tell at a glance, but he also guessed: "
Pay attention, great monk, I've offended you!" As the words came out, he suddenly took three steps forward.
For a moment, the power of the palms was like a roaring wind and waves, and in the blink of an eye, two palms were struck with unparalleled power. One palm was "A Dragon Has Regret", and the other palm was seven rays of light.
Monk Guanghui let out a sigh of relief, and moved forward instead of retreating. His palms flashed like thunder and lightning, and in an instant, he struck out seven punches in a row.
The fists that were no bigger than melons left the hand, like meteors in the void, getting bigger and bigger, as big as a millstone or a pot lid.
But seeing the silhouettes of people swaying past, the strong wind blowing like a gust, and meeting Zhu Biao for the first time with this kind of "Dao Gang Sword Qi" Kungfu, his offensive could not help but slow down.
Yes, it is similar to Daogang Sword Qi.
In Zhu Biao's view, skills like the Hundred-step Divine Fist are no different from the "Seven-Star Demon-Slaying Sword" and the "Six-Mein Divine Sword". The only difference is that the first two forms of true energy release are Dao Gang.
Sword Qi, the latter is Fist Qi.
Monk Guanghui's body is like a lightning bolt, and he follows him like a shadow. He uses "Tathagata's Compassion", "Vajra Subduing the Tiger", and "Lotus Pond Xiangyun" with three moves in a row, as powerful as a tiger! (To be continued...)
