The coast of Japan experienced various unexpected situations. Ieyasu, Terumoto, and Nagamasa finally led the remnant army back to this land. However, Takatora Toudo and others did not come back. Ieyasu waited for a while on the coast to rest and regroup.
, until a week has passed.
Toudo, Honda and the others are probably dead.
"It's a pity that the artifact was not recovered."
Ieyasu was very grateful to Takatora Toudo. After all, he saved him from the fire at the beginning. However, in the end Toudo was overconfident in his combat power with two magical weapons. Now it is normal for him to be killed by the Ming army. The magical weapons are also
The loss was all caused by Takatora Toudo not obeying his command.
"Guan Bai actually didn't send anyone to pick us up. It's impossible for him not to receive the message, right?"
Terumoto Mori found that seven days had passed and no one had come from the direction of Kyoto. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. He had heard that Osaka had been destroyed. Could it be that Hideyoshi was actually dead but claimed to be alive?
"Could he be dead?"
Kuroda Nagamasa narrowed his eyes and was about to jump right on the spot.
If Hideyoshi really died, the world would be like returning to the Warring States period.
"Nonsense."
Just when they felt rebellious, a sound of laughter came from not far away from them. The three of them were suddenly horrified. They saw a pale eunuch-like figure with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks. They thought it was a monkey demon from somewhere, but
Take a closer look, isn't that exactly Hideyoshi?
The three of them didn't notice when they appeared here, but their survival instinct made the three of them step forward quickly and kneel down to apologize.
The words about the scene of seppuku and apology have not yet been spoken.
Hideyoshi had already appeased the three of them: "Why are you so guilty? The defeat in this battle was due to immortals rather than ordinary people. The defeat was due to the lack of national power rather than the lack of courage of the generals."
"I already know that this battle will be lost, so I sent you a letter agreeing to withdraw the troops. Please stand up."
Seeing that Hideyoshi was not as gloomy or angry as expected, but rather very kind. Although the three of them were confused, they immediately stood up on the stick.
"Everything that can be taken has been taken. The destiny of the country has been obtained. Half of North Korea's life is in our hands. You have done a good job, which is enough to become famous all over the world and go down in history."
Ieyasu said at this time: "His Majesty Guanbai, Todo Takatora is covering our evacuation, and we have taken three thousand naval troops to break up the rear. We haven't heard from him in seven days, and I'm afraid he has been killed by the Ming army. He still has two dragon ball artifacts in his hand.
....I'm afraid..."
"It's just an artifact. You are still alive, so what does it matter? If you don't die, we will have a chance to fight again."
Hideyoshi smiled.
"Fight...again?"
When Mouri Terumoto heard Hideyoshi's words, his expression suddenly changed a bit. He quickly clasped his fists and said something to stop him: "Your Highness, the national power has been exhausted. Is it true that there must be no roosters for thousands of miles and bones exposed in the wild for this battle to be considered over?
?”
"Hundreds of thousands of our soldiers and civilians have lost their souls in a foreign country. Even if the souls of the dead soldiers can return to our country, they cannot be resurrected after death. The dead are really dead and will not stand up or continue fighting.
, I’m afraid the whole world will turn against you!”
Although Mouri Terumoto also had a rebellious heart, Hideyoshi's words that he could fight again really frightened him.
I was lucky enough not to die this time, but next time I have to let the three of me be the generals? Is that really putting my head on the military flag and just waiting for others to come and snatch it from me?
It's almost done! If I continue to fight, I don't know if I will survive! If this is the case, it is better to jump back now.
Hideyoshi was startled when he heard this, but immediately he stopped being angry and laughed instead. While laughing, he comforted Terumoto Mori:
"There is no need to be so afraid. The next war will take a long time, and we also need to prepare carefully. Now, all the poison left over from the Warring States Period has been scattered in Korea. What remains in the mainland is only the accumulation of time.
The essence of.”
"Everyone, let's feel this new Japan! Although it is devastated now, in the near future, both Korea and the Ming Dynasty will crawl at our feet!"
The three of them were still confused, but the next moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who knew more information, suddenly showed a shocked expression, and after a few breaths of silence, he tentatively asked:
"Could it be that the Kingdom of God...has been perfected?"
Hideyoshi smiled: "Although the immortals from the Ming Dynasty came across the sea and destroyed many important places, and sacrificed many fake immortals to maintain the operation of the divine kingdom, fortunately, the national destiny of Korea has filled in these holes in time.
Well, all the troubles that have existed since ancient times have been eliminated with the help of the immortals of the Ming Dynasty."
"His Majesty Emperor Jimmu has made all the preparations."
Taoyuan was destroyed, and the place where the gods originated returned to the Kingdom of God, and instead became the most important puzzle piece. Ji Xiang's behavior was a blessing in disguise for Japan, and what it suffered was nothing more than temporary pain.
The war did not end so soon, it was just a temporary no-war card.
"The Kingdom of God cannot be built with the destiny of one country, so the national destiny of a second country needs to be integrated into it. It was originally difficult to seize the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty, so it plundered the national destiny of North Korea to make up for itself, and then attacked Ryukyu. Although it was
It is a small country on the sea, but if it is attached to the Ming Dynasty, it will be a powerful help to seize it."
"If the fortunes of the three kingdoms are combined into one, the true goal of the Kingdom of God's ascension can be achieved."
"Once the kingdom of God is completed, we no longer need to pursue the way of heaven."
"We will take the place of Heaven! Then, we will rule the world for Heaven! Everything we do will be in accordance with God's laws and decrees, and the world cannot violate them!"
————
In the mountains of northern Korea, the Heavenly Gate opens, and Ji Xiang returns from the upper world to the human world.
"It should have been a long time..."
The sky knows how many years have passed. Ji Xiang spent a lot of time refining the army of demons, so that nearly half of the time for the sun to refining its form has passed. There are still more than 160 days left, and his own state of mind has also been improved to
Extremely high level!
boom!
The surging blood energy turned into a storm, and the mountains and rivers shook in an instant. All the sand, gravel, and dust settled, and all the clouds and mist in the sky were driven thousands of miles away.
In terms of realm, it has been promoted to the innate realm.
During the three hundred days of Sun Refining, those who have not reached the pure Yang level will slowly improve their realm from the moment Sun Refining begins. After breaking through from Yuanshen to Huangting, they will enter Xiantian from Huangting.
, twelve years were suppressed to thirty-six days, and these thirty-six days were also extremely dangerous "days of death."
The death of body and Taoism are at this moment.
But Ji Xiang has already taken Qibao Huanglian, and not only survived the "36-day period of death" safely, but also successfully shortened the 36-day promotion time, and even relied on the power of the Buddhist sword to combine several types of powerful
Breath gave birth to the essence of heaven and earth.
After crossing the threshold from Huangting to the Xiantian realm, there is nothing to be restricted from now on! The Xiantian aura continues to rise, and soon it will break through the realm of refining gods, and then enter the pure Yang realm, which is the pinnacle of the human world!
Ji Xiang senses the mountains and rivers in all directions, and can detect the breath of living creatures on the land hundreds of miles away.
A special aura that looked like a demon but not a demon, a monk but not a monk, appeared very clearly in Ji Xiang's perception.
"Who is it?"
Ji Xiang did not go over openly, but concealed his aura. However, because there was too much movement in the lower realm of Kaitianmen, including the innate realm aura just released, it seemed to disturb these inexplicable beings, and their aura stayed in place without any movement.
, as if dead, only the vitality is still telling Ji Xiang that what exudes these weird auras is not the wood carvings and clay sculptures of some gods.
Ji Xiang turned into a shadow and hid among the mountains and rivers without being discovered by anyone.
.........
"What was it like just now? Innate realm? Are there such powerful beings in North Korea?"
"What is the innate realm? We are all at the innate level. Korea and Japan are at war, and the Eight Paths fell in less than January 3rd. The group of Hwarangdo monks who were here in Korea before, relying on the national prestige and the protection of the Ming Dynasty,
In front of those fake immortals in Japan, I was like a chicken and a dog, and collapsed at the first touch, and now even the body has been reduced to ashes."
"What I'm saying is... Even if this genius enters the battlefield, he can't save the situation. I heard that it was the real immortals from Wudang Mountain who entered North Korea and killed all the fake immortals? This is really amazing. Wudang Mountain hides everything
It's so profound. Fortunately, I didn't fall out with the court..."
"It's that Taoist master who caused a lot of trouble in the area east of Mount Tai. He killed Nurhachi himself. I don't know if it has anything to do with Zhou Sheng who broke into the mountain last time."
"I can't see what Zhou Sheng is. He is a monster of heaven and earth transformed from black energy. In ancient times, evil spirits were naturally born and transformed. They were sent by God and were destined to bring disaster to the human world. He became an immortal.
People are afraid of avoiding this kind of thing, so how can they take the initiative to contaminate it?"
"By the way, speaking of the Hwarang Tao in North Korea, some of them have practiced to great heights. They should have become part of the Taoist sect after entering Rishan River, right?"
"Exactly, in the Tang Dynasty, Taoism brought the land of Korea under its own control and spread its teachings. There is even a legend that Huanren Zhenren, the first ancestor of the Eastern Korean Immortals, was the disciple of Yu Guangchengzi's disciple, Mingyou Immortal. Hwarang Dao
Also called the Immortal Way, but the
There are not many immortals who have appeared in modern times. In addition to Huanren, the first ancestor of the East, there are also the three immortals of Silla, Cui Chengku, Jin Keji, Seng Cihui, and Jinyan, the ancestor of Dunjia Yuanliu. However, it is said that he later went to Japan to escape.
Dharma flow, ninjas came into being..."
"And Buddhism has also been fighting in Korea for a period of time. Although it has converted several princes, it has little impact on the Andong Protectorate. Who can take advantage of those Silla princes? So seeing that it is difficult for North Korea to gain benefits, plus
The existence of the Andong Protectorate at that time, as well as Li Tang's admiration for Taoism, could only continue to move eastward and spread the teachings to Japan. Now, although it has been impacted by other religions, it can be regarded as having deep roots in Buddhism and has been integrated into Japan.
culture."
"The later immortals, as well as the First Lord of Haidong, are said to be the souls of an emperor's daughter from the Song Dynasty who died and wandered to North Korea to become the Taoshan God. I don't know how the ghosts of Bianliang people could go to North Korea.
"
"There is also Xue Li. It is said that he attacked Goguryeo so fiercely that the Goguryeo people even went to sacrifice him. This attack on Goguryeo was Silla's request to Tang Taizong, so the Silla people also regarded him as an evil god.
Spread to today’s North Korea.”
"Oh...Master Huang...is he very knowledgeable about these things?"
"That is, I'm not just bragging to you...I know everything about this world without leaving home."
"You said you didn't leave home, but haven't you come to North Korea yet? Did you follow Shulhaqi here?"
"Master, aren't you here to borrow the fortune of the country? Haha! The kind of person who borrows money and never returns it!"
"Bah! Don't talk nonsense, you boy from the Hui family, your voice is too loud! It's not fun to talk about! Shuerhaqi heard it. If he reports it to Shuntian, I'm afraid we will all suffer! Kaitian
Emperor Hongsheng cannot stop the true immortals of Longhu Mountain!"
Dong Dong, the crutches tapped lightly on the stone, and the laughter around them also fell silent in an instant. But to outsiders, the conversation just now was nothing more than the croaking of foxes, the hissing of snakes, and the squeaking of mice. In the mountains and fields, the words of wild beasts
, will not be known to the human race.
"Shamanism cannot support the sky of Changbai Mountain, let alone the immortal sky of Tatar. Those old shamans should also be buried. From the grassland to the white mountains and black waters, they have been like this bird for thousands of years. It is time to change. Only change can we
Preserve yourself in the coming turmoil.”
"We want to open a great religion! We cannot and do not dare to borrow the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. We are taking advantage of Japan's attack on Korea and come here to help with Shuerha in a grand manner. We can borrow some of the national destiny to make our gods become the orthodox ones of Korea. From now on,
Then slowly transform into the spirit of the Ming Dynasty."
An old man wearing khaki clothes and a long beard, with white spots on his pupils, looks like flesh and blood. He is standing in the mountains and fields. There is a small earth bag in front of him, made of stones, which looks as strange as a formation.
, there seemed to be fire coming out of it, as if something was being burned.
A group of demon cultivators in robes gathered around him, but because they had been eating incense all year round and were half demons and half gods, their auras were mixed and they could not clearly identify their true form.
"I have lived from the time of Bohai Kingdom to now, what haven't I seen?"
"Don't tell me, old man, I have never seen the big events in twenty years! If we can't handle this, we will be skinned and boned and used as medicinal materials for others to make elixirs! As for relying on the court, it is better to rely on yourself, outside the customs
This is the Jisi area, and killing Nurhaci to scare Shuerhaqi is a good move by the court, but for us, it is not a good thing."
"That Zhou Sheng is working for the Changsheng Heavenly Palace. He is a Taoist. If the righteousness does not decline, we cannot rise. That's the reason. Now we are borrowing the national destiny of North Korea to preserve ourselves. When the righteousness declines, we will not be able to compete with the people of Lishanhe.
Those old thieves have been beaten to death, and the time for our rise has come."
Mr. Huang shook his head, then looked at the heat, reached out and took out a sacred tablet from the tomb-like thing. The incense on the sacred tablet was bright, shining in all directions. He covered it with his long sleeves to suppress the brilliance.
.
"You little guys, have you never seen that kind of scene where the earth is falling apart? The Tang Dynasty was so prosperous, but in the end, the capital fell six times and the emperor escaped nine times? Now you are laughing and joking, listening to these things as stories."
"Really? Then tell me these stories?"
The sudden sound caused all the laughter in the mountains and forests to disappear in an instant.
Mr. Huang turned his head instantly, and a huge wave of evil energy burst out from his body, accompanied by bursts of divine power and the power of incense!
But the next moment.
A monstrous demonic energy defeated all his demons, gods, and incense powers! It was like a vast ocean, enveloping him in it!
Mr. Huang was sweating profusely in an instant!
He was locked in the whirlpool of demonic energy, unable to move as if falling into an abyss. Looking at the man in black standing not far away, he was the biggest "Devil King" in the world at this time!
"Xiantian... No, you are a pure Yang level evil demon!"
The innate realm is all deceptive, but this huge demonic energy cannot be carried by the innate, so a level comparable to pure Yang came to mind, but Master Huang's exclamation made Ji Xiang laugh:
"What is an evil spirit?"
"I am a demon!"
Then he stretched out his hand, and a large stone nearby was photographed, turned into a stone chair in the air, and landed behind Mr. Huang.
Ji Xiang stretched out his hand again, and a sound was like thunder from the sky, shocking the world!
"sit!"
Bang! Mr. Huang’s crutches were all thrown to the ground. He lost control of his body and suddenly sat on the stone chair!
