Zhang Lu looked pale and bowed in front of the palace, his words filled with sadness.
"Gong Qi has been loyal to our great man. He is worthy of being a marquis. How can he be said to be incompetent with his loyal and good body?"
Gu Cheng helped him up with his own hands.
"If His Highness hadn't sent someone to rescue me, I'm afraid... Your Highness has saved my life many times. I, the Heavenly Master, will serve Your Highness even to the death!"
Zhang Lu burst into tears of gratitude and solemnly swore an oath.
Taoism talks about responsibility, and this is the true thought of death.
In the original history, he always favored Cao Wei and served as the king of Hanzhong for more than 20 years. Later, he surrendered to Cao Cao, was promoted to a noble rank, married to Cao Cao, and died a good death. He was considered the best among the princes.
Although this kind of person has various character flaws and cannot reach the top, he should not be underestimated.
Gu Cheng gave Zhang Lu the elixir and asked him to go down and rest, looking thoughtful.
Sure enough, Tianshijiao encountered a wall when entering the formation and suffered heavy losses. If he had not made arrangements in advance, Zhang Lu would have been lost in the formation.
But it was not without gain, at least we found out what the formation was.
Buddhism set up eight Heavenly Dragon Formations to suppress the Eight Paths of Taihang.
In ancient times, there was a saying that the eight paths of Taihang run through the backbone of the world. From south to north, these eight paths are Zhiguanxing, Taihangxing, Baixing, Fukouxing, Jingxing, Feihuxing, Puyinxing and Junduxing.
.
As we all know, the eight groups of heavenly dragons are: one day, two dragons, three yakshas, four gandharvas, five asuras, six garudas, seven kinnaras, and eight mahurakas.
When Zhang Lu led the Tianshi Dao into the battle, Sun Jian's army entered from Fukou Xing, and Cao Cao's army entered from Zhiguan Xing. The three parties combined their efforts and almost killed Garuda and Mahulaka. Unfortunately, the eight heavenly dragons were actually
As one body, only all parties breaking the formation at the same time can the formation be truly broken. Therefore, the three parties are fighting in vain, and Tianshi Dao also lost many elite disciples in the formation.
This was just the first exploration of the formation, the tip of the iceberg. When Sun Jian and Cao Cao came to ask for a battle again, Gu Cheng ordered them to prepare their troops and not to act rashly.
This is actually the same as Mongolia's attack on Xiangyang. If Mongolia mobilized the whole country to attack Xiangyang day and night, even sacrificing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, then Xiangyang would have been captured long ago no matter how easy it was to defend and difficult to attack.
But the fact is that Mongolia cannot do that.
In the same way, if Gu Cheng ignores the losses this time and uses the lives of all the elite soldiers to pile up, the formation can be broken in a short time, but this will undoubtedly make the situation worse for the already weak national strength.
When the time comes for Buddhism to fail in this game, and simply drive the foreign races into the pass, and come to China in advance, the result will not be the same?
So under normal circumstances, there are eight celestial dragons outside to guard the eight branches of Taihang respectively, and there are 24 celestial light and dark barriers inside to isolate the original tomb. The layout of the Buddhist gate is foolproof, and it is calculated that even if the Han heavenly army arrives, it will be able to stop it.
For half a year.
In the past six months, once Yuan Shao succeeded in the original mausoleum, he would be done. Even if Yuan Shao failed to succeed, the golden giant Buddha would probably have worn away the original mausoleum formation, directly shot Yin Lihua's body, and even made
Something even more terrifying...
At this time when people's hearts were restless and everyone was about to take action, Gu Cheng's eyes fell back on the magical powers and secrets of Shui Jing Academy.
Let's see how arrogant Buddhism can be!
…
…
"Taoist Master, please stay!"
Shi Zixuan made a great ceremony and spoke sincerely.
There are three mountains and five caves in Daomen, and Kunlun Mountain is undoubtedly the first. After all, it is the dojo of the Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East.
But Shi Zixuan knew that the minds of these two ancient immortals were unpredictable. If they were willing to help, they would naturally send people down the mountain. If they were unwilling to help, he would never be able to ask them.
So he left Chaoge, rode the wind and headed east, straight into Mount Tai, to visit the Bixia Cave.
Mount Tai is the head of the Five Mountains, and the Lord of the Bixia Cave is Bixia Yuanjun. She was a beautiful girl sent by the Yellow Emperor in the past. Considering the power of the dynasty, her disciples are most likely to help.
The strength of Bixia Cave Heaven is even higher than that of Zhongyue Cave Heaven. Although Taoist Jingxiu is proficient in Fuxi Heart Sutra, he is only in the fifth realm of astrology. Qing Lingzi, who received Shi Zixuan, is a giant in the conjunction realm and is only one step away from the World Honored One.
.
This is also what it should be. Zhang Ling became enlightened fifty years ago and ascended to heaven. In terms of age, he was much younger than them. However, Zhang Ling was the direct descendant of the Supreme Lord, and in terms of seniority, he was far ahead of them.
On top of them, Longhu Mountain is also ranked among the three mountains and five caves. Shi Zixuan paid a personal visit and naturally received a grand reception.
However, when Shi Zixuan proposed the Buddhist formation, Qing Lingzi refused.
Except for Tianshi Dao, which was pardoned by the imperial court, the other seven major Taoist forces all live in seclusion, so how can they lightly touch the mortal world?
He turned around to go back, but was stopped by Shi Zixuan.
"Hoover is so ambitious that he wants to disrupt our country and usurp our faith after all the lives have been destroyed. The founder of your religion is the daughter of the Three Emperors. How can you tolerate such evil things happening?"
"Mount Taishan is the first of the five mountains. If Hoover entered, he would never let go of this precious land. Instead of fighting for it in the future, why not nip it in the bud and nip it in the bud?"
Shi Zixuan explained the pros and cons and made a pleading request. Qing Lingzi pondered for a long time and sighed: "That's all! I will go with you!"
Shi Zixuan was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Taoist Master!"
Qing Lingzi came in prepared this time.
Bixia Yuanjun had already ascended to the sky, but left behind many treasures. Since Qing Lingzi decided to go out to help, he was unequivocal. After leaving the cave, a green lotus suddenly appeared under his feet, holding the two of them up, and wrapped a lotus around his right hand.
The golden rope, with one finger of the left hand, emits white light, two feet high, and a happy cloud appears on the top, protecting the top.
Sensing the aura of the rope and Qingyun, Shi Zixuan became happy, because these two magic weapons were obviously mysterious weapons and had origins in ancient times.
Zhang Jiao, as the World Honored One, risked his life for the Emperor's Book of Earth, but Qing Lingzi easily obtained two mysterious weapons to protect his body. He deserves to have a long heritage.
However, not far from Chaoge, when Shi Zixuan wanted to lower the auspicious clouds and went inside to report, Qing Lingzi raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "People in the mountains and fields have not seen the face of the sky. You can go ahead. I am the minister outside, and I am half-hearted."
In an hour, we should go to Taihang to break the formation!"
Shi Zixuan's heart skipped a beat, and after saluting, he went into the palace to pay homage.
After hearing this, Gu Cheng drew a stream of light with a snap of his fingers and said calmly: "After all, he is a righteous man who is willing to protect China and keep his life intact!"
Shi Zixuan caught the stream of light and understood the holy meaning: "Yes!"
Even in the Immortal Martial World, without the Huaiyin Sword's effect of teleporting the army, it would be a fool's errand to assemble an army within half an hour. Qing Lingzi was clearly arrogant and did not want the help of the Han army.
But when Xu Chu took the order and mobilized the army with the Huaiyin Sword, eight armies of ten thousand people quickly gathered outside the Eight Paths of Taihang. Qing Lingzi couldn't help being startled, with a solemn expression. After meeting with the commander-in-chief Cao Cao and Sun Jian, he came
In front of the battle.
He opened his heavenly eyes and took a look at the eight gates that no one could open. He saw the Buddha's light shining, golden lotuses stacked on top of each other, Sanskrit chanting in succession, solemn and solemn, as if he had arrived in the Paradise of Paradise.
Qing Lingzi pondered for a moment, chose Fei Huxing, pressed down Qinglian, and rushed in.
