There are so many beauties in the palace, but Zong Shou has no intention of enjoying them. Most of these barbarian girls are innocent, cute and simple in nature. But since Zong Shou has enjoyed the most exquisite food in the world and has developed an appetite, how can he like these little jade girls?
Most of the time, I sit alone and meditate on the sword art.
On that day when he understood the way of Xizi, Zong Shou felt that his swordsmanship had made a lot of progress.
Naturally, it is impossible to understand and master Xizi's true method of creation. It was just that he controlled the sword formation that day. The forbidden patterns and talismans in the battle were slightly gained.
It can be integrated into his swordsmanship, which is quite beneficial.
"It's a pity that there are still few people who understand it. However, for me, this method is dispensable. But for my brother Ao, it is of great use."
With spiritual transformation, a high-grade letter talisman on the ground floor turned into a wild crane in an instant and flew out of the wine pool palace.
His understanding of the true method of creation can only be carried by this top-notch talisman.
In fact, it doesn't have much effect, but the fact that Xizi's method is derived from human nature will definitely surprise Ao Kun.
After the letter talisman was sent out, Zong Shou stopped studying the forbidden patterns obtained from the Seven Swords of the World.
The Way of Xizi is one of the top avenues in the world, even surpassing the laws of creation.
However, he had already decided to follow the path of his sect, and he was not filled with the heart of serving the country and the people, so it was better to give up.
He spends most of his time studying the Killing Sword Intent and the Execution Sword Intent.
The level of the latter is far higher than that of the former. However, there are similarities between the two.
The Killing Sword Intent has broken through to the later stages of the Sword Intent Soul Realm.
Furthermore, this Killing Sword Intent is also the easiest to break through.
Zong Shou has an omen in his heart. After this battle, there will definitely be a feast of killing. But the soldiers in his hands must be sharp!
"The magic way!"
That bit of sharp and fierce anger was biting and jostling in Zong Shou's chest all the time, gnawing at his internal organs.
There is no need to wait any longer——
While practicing his sword skills every day, Zong Shou also devoted some energy to paying attention to the battle situation ahead. Every evening, he would read the battle reports coming from the front one by one, in detail.
In the four days since the 3.2 million-strong army withdrew from the south of the Henglian Mountains, almost all good news came back, and almost no defeat was reported.
The rivers in southern Xinjiang were wrongly added, so even if the merchants were well prepared, it would be difficult to advance.
The 18 million army was divided into dozens of groups by the water network and swamps.
This gave Kong Yao the opportunity to take advantage of the navy and suddenly insert 800,000 elite soldiers into the rear of Dashang. In just one battle, he was able to annihilate 400,000 enemy troops.
Then, they used attack instead of defense, and faced off against Dashang's left-wing army in a delta plain. After a long time, they finally defeated the million-strong army on the opposite side.
By the time Dashang's reinforcements arrived, Kong Yao's subordinates had already sailed away on the cloud ship.
Three battles in ten days were all great victories. After that, the merchant army began to be cautious and cautious.
Although Kong Yao could no longer find any opportunities to take advantage of, the general who conquered the south and Emperor Yuan Chen were also having a very difficult time. It could be said that they were in dire straits, being firmly blocked to the north of the Min River and unable to make any progress.
What's even more troublesome at this time is that Kong Yao is in this area, with strong walls and clear fields. All the tribes have already evacuated upon hearing the news. Not a single grain of food can be obtained in this area.
But just as Zong Shou expected, the Taoist and Confucian sect stepped in and were supported by countless Qiankun bags. The remaining food and fodder for the 17 million army could still be managed.
The war situation was at a stalemate. Although Kong Yao could still make use of the navy and made some gains from time to time. But he wanted to be like the first few people who frequently beheaded three to four hundred thousand people, but he could no longer do it.
However, Kong Yao's talent has been clearly demonstrated. With the help of these merging forces, three million troops were able to compete with six times the enemy, and they had plenty of room to do so, without falling behind at all.
They are not obsessed with fighting for one city or one place, but are flexible and mobile, focusing on attacking the enemy's key points. If they seize the weakness, they will attack fiercely and fight to the death. However, once the situation is unfavorable, they will quickly evacuate and never leave the water.
.So that the merchants could only have tens of millions of troops to cope with it.
"Save people and lose land, and both people and land will survive; save land and lose people, and both people and land will be lost—"
It seems that he was worried that Zongshou would misunderstand, so Kong Yao made such a memorial in the memorial. Zongshou didn't care. In fact, it didn't matter if the land in southern Xinjiang was lost, so naturally he didn't care.
And at this time, 50,000 Cangsheng Xuanlong warriors from Cangsheng Dao and 35,000 Weiyang sword riders from Sword Sect also arrived under Kong Yao's command one after another, making the entire defense line even more stable.
What surprised Zongshou the most was the Buddhist sect. They sent a total of 20,000 monks and soldiers at his command.
There are very few who are good at fighting, but they are proficient in the Thousand Leaves Living Sutra of Great Compassion and are good at treating injuries. When three thousand people form a formation and recite the Vajra King Mantra together, they can give an army of no more than three hundred thousand within a fifty-mile radius, which is particularly special.
The body of the Blessed Vajra is equivalent to a fifth-level spiritual weapon and armor, and its protective power is astonishing.
Kong Yao was especially happy. Only the twenty thousand monk soldiers made her even happier than the fifty thousand common people's Xuanlong warriors.
And the Lankavatara Buddha also made a special trip to the Jiuchi Palace to meet Zong Shou for this matter.
"The reason why these two thousand vajra protector monks are temporarily serving under the king is not because the king is the future immeasurable Buddha of our teaching. It is because of the alliance between Daqian and the Buddhist sect. If the ally is in trouble, we, the Buddhist sect, have to help. In addition,
It also involves the dispute between the six religions in the Yun Realm. I just hope that the monarch will not misunderstand it, and there is no need to care."
"Thank you very much. I will keep your kindness in mind for your support during this time of crisis."
Zong Shou smiled softly and had a great impression of Buddhism, especially the Lankavatara Buddha in front of him.
If these 20,000 Dharma-protecting monks and soldiers are here as a favor to him as the infinite and final Buddha of the future.
So no matter how regretful he was, he would send these monk soldiers away.
However, since it was because of the alliance, I felt at ease, but felt that I owed Buddhism a favor.
After the Lankavatara Buddha finished speaking, he frowned again. Looking around, he saw how extravagant it was. Beyond the wine pool and meat forest, in the garden, there were almost all the rare and exotic animals in the world. And even a maid in the palace
, it is stunning when placed outside.
"Lengjia doesn't understand. There was a huge battle on the Minshui River, with tens of thousands of casualties. Why is it that your Majesty is still interested in feasting and indulging in women in this palace every day?"
Zong Shou was helpless in his heart. He himself was not willing to do so, but he had to answer, so he said casually: "In the solitary eye, color is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from color. Color is emptiness, and emptiness is color -"
It does not refer to the beauty in front of you, but to all things and phenomena that can be seen or cannot be seen, and these phenomena are illusions produced by people. Emptiness is the essence of things.
In other words, what Lankavatara Buddha saw may not be true, and he did not see through the appearance.
But Lankavatara Buddha's body trembled slightly, and he looked at Zongshou intently, his eyes were so hot that it was scary. Then he solemnly saluted: "The king is indeed destined to be my Buddha. Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. Is it possible that Lankavatara has learned the lesson! If he can achieve something in the future,
Achievements are all due to a single word from the Infinite Buddha."
Zong Shou was astonished. This sentence came from Buddhism and was a scripture in the "Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra".
Could it be that at this time, Buddhism still does not have this sutra?
Sword Sect Lingchen was also on the side at this time. He had no idea what the fight between the two was, but he also looked at this extremely luxurious palace with an equally strange expression.
At this moment, I was extremely doubtful. The Zong Shou in front of me was really the Holy King coming to this world, the Lord of Qilin?
Could it be that Hua Ruo got it wrong?
Both of them were practitioners and could not stay in this charming and ambiguous place with so many beauties. After seeing Zong Shou once, they left in a hurry.
When these two left, another person came one after another, it was Zhang Huai.
According to this person, all the supplies and food are in place. Separately placed in safe places, it is enough for the army for ten years, so there is no need to worry about logistics. At this time, I am at leisure, but I really don’t want to miss this event that determines the cloud world.
The battle for hegemony is here.
"I heard that Emperor Yuan Chen has overhauled the shipyard on the north bank of the Min River. There are also hundreds of divine monks who are preparing to use their great magic power to transport Dashang's Five-Tooth Cloud Ship to the Min River."
Zong Shou curled his lips. Dashang's move was to prepare a fleet division in the Min River.
However, it takes time to build a ship, and it is not easy to transport a ready-made cloud ship. The cultivators of Cangshengdao and Sword Buddha are not vegetarians. Even Daqian has a lot of tributes at this time.
Moreover, Dashang does not have so much time to continue to delay.
"I have checked the tax revenue and expenditure of Huizhou and Nanfeng Yunlu in recent years, and found that there is always some money that goes missing every year. There is no objection from Ren Bo. I wonder, dear, can you teach me?"
"I know I can't hide it from you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Huai smiled heartily and took all the money to Dashang to buy grain.
At least 20% of the grain produced by Dashang every year was plundered by Daqian maritime merchants, and even the warehouses and national grain stocks of Dashang were hollowed out.
As for Daqian Country itself, there is actually no shortage of food. On the contrary, it is abundant every year.
"So I judge that Emperor Yuan Chen should have discovered that the grain in his treasury can only supply three months at most."
"So this shipyard is just trying to deceive people?"
Zong Shoumu showed a somewhat sarcastic smile, and was blocked on the north bank of the Min River. He was not allowed to enter. However, there was another problem with the supply of grain and fodder.
For big businessmen, there is no other way but to make a quick decision.
In other words, the day he is looking forward to will not last more than ten days at most.
After shaking his head, Zong Shou changed his tone again: "Concubine Yao will never come up with this Jiuchi Palace. But what's your idea, Zhang Huai?"
Zhang Huai was slightly embarrassed and could only bow to Zong Shou apologetically.
Zong Shouze snorted dissatisfied, and immediately his expression changed slightly. He reached out and pulled Chu Xue, who was standing by his side, into his arms.
He kissed Xue'er forcefully on the lips, and put one hand into Chu Xue's arms,
Chu Xue just exclaimed and then became quiet again. She vaguely felt that a vague thought penetrated into the palace. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to this site)
