The war of faith in the Western Regions was very fierce, and both Buddhism and Taoism were involved. A Buddhist and Taoist master with a good reputation in the Central Plains rushed to the Western Regions to participate in the war. At the same time, both Buddhism and Taoism had a large number of armed forces and resources to the Western Regions.
Tilt is the result that Lei Hu is happy to see.
It is better to have something to do than to sit in the Central Plains doing nothing and risking bad things.
At this time, the Central Plains was a large construction site, and construction scenes were in full swing everywhere. The emergence of cement was definitely a big benefit. Whether it was building roads, bridges or dams, it was not only strong but also the workload was reduced a lot.
The craftsmen of this era were really amazing. I didn’t know much about the cement thunder itself. What I remembered was only volcanic ash and clay. As a result, it took craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to trial-produce it in less than half a year.
Unsurprisingly, the Kodong region became the first to try something new. It directly built roads, bridges, and dams using the cement pouring method, which raised the level of land transportation in the Kodong region to several big steps.
Although water transportation is convenient, it is limited by the topography and environment. Short-distance transportation is still mainly by land. The emergence of cement roads has suddenly increased the speed of land transportation.
At the same time, four-wheeled carriages that could carry more cargo also appeared, and soon became popular in Jiangdong and the Central Plains, becoming the main force of land freight transportation.
At this time, the environment in Guanzhong and Liangzhou was not as bad as it would be in later generations. It was still a relatively good nurturing land. Lei Hu took advantage of the large number of Guanzhong people who went to the Western Regions to fight, and returned farmland to forest on a large scale. At the same time, he also built it with cement.
There are many large, medium and small reservoirs, so it is basically impossible for Guanzhong to appear as desolate as the Loess Plateau in later generations.
When the government affairs in the Central Plains were on the right track and there was no need for Lei Hu to sit in and pay attention at all times, he asked his two queens to act as supervisors and temporarily put aside the government affairs to invite his father-in-law Song Que and the Taoist disciple Ning Daoqi to go to the desert temple to see what happened.
.
How could Lei Hu forget the mysterious place that allowed the former Turkic Martial Lord Bi Xuan to break through from a first-class master to a master master in one breath.
He had been busy with official duties before, and it was the critical moment for the three great lords of the North and a group of frustrated heroes to gain a foothold in the Western Region. It was impossible for Lei Hu to abandon government affairs and go to the desert temple to study.
Who knows whether the Desert Temple will have mysterious restrictions like the War Temple?
He could not guarantee that if he had not been in charge of the Eastern Capital, his civil and military officials would have slowed down in supporting the vassal states in the Western Regions.
This is a very real problem. There are only so many resources in the Central Plains. If we support the vassal states in the Western Regions, the Central Plains itself will have fewer resources.
It's not that his subordinates, Wen Wu, have selfish motives, but people's hearts are inherently biased. Don't expect them to be able to think together with Lei Hu and generously support the vassal states in the Western Regions.
Lei Hu has a big plan in his mind. The Central Plains is still in the recovery period, so it is naturally difficult to propose it early. Some things can only be kept in his mind for the time being, such as supporting the vassal states in the Western Regions, which cannot be relaxed.
Not only that, in order to control these vassal states, the economic and trade exchanges between the Central Plains and them must be indispensable, and the scale is getting larger and larger. It is best to prevent them from getting rid of their dependence on the Central Plains. This is the best result.
Otherwise, when the first generation of vassal kings dies, who knows whether the second and third generations of vassal leaders will be influenced by the customs and culture of the Western Regions and gradually deviate from the scope of Confucian thought?
This is something Lei Hu does not want to see, especially when Tianfang Sect is about to rise, it is necessary to establish an ideological defense line dominated by Confucianism in the Western Regions.
Why did Lei Hu send a steady stream of disobedient and dishonest talents from aristocratic families to the Western Regions? It was to consolidate the Confucian ideological front.
In any case, the Central Plains is dominated by Confucianism. Especially high-end talents are deeply influenced by Confucianism. If they take charge of the power of the vassal states in the Western Regions, it will naturally further expand the influence of Confucianism in the vassal states.
These are just the calculations in his mind. Lei Hu has no intention of letting others know about it, so as to avoid unexpected changes. He doesn't want to waste extra energy on a war of words.
"It's just the three of us. I'm afraid the news has already spread!"
Song Que rushed over from Lingnan immediately and said bluntly: "While I was still on the way, several old guys with good connections with Buddhism and Taoism came to inquire!"
"If you want to follow me, just tell me!"
Lei Hu spoke calmly and said angrily: "If they want to be sneaky and shady, then they should just stay in the Central Plains!"
"I'm afraid it's that guy Ning Daoqi, but he doesn't want to save face!"
Song Que changed the subject and said with a smile: "I don't know how this guy did it. He got too close to Cihang Jingzhai. No wonder the higher-ups of the Taoist sect don't like him!"
"Haha, a copy of "Cihang Sword Code" bought him over. This guy is also very ambitious. He wants to practice both Buddhism and Taoism at the same time. I can only say that his ambition is too great!"
Lei Hu spoke calmly and shook his head: "After all, he is the Central Plains Grandmaster. This time I go to the mysterious desert temple and ask him to follow me. If the opportunity is right, we can go further. It will be a good thing for the Central Plains martial arts!"
"How generous of you!"
Song Que chuckled and did not express any objection.
"hehe……"
Lei Hu chuckled and said coldly: "In the majestic Central Plains, there are only two powerful masters. My father-in-law, you were promoted later. It is really unreasonable to be tied with the grand masters of Goguryeo!"
These words made the Sanren Ning Daoqi and Song Que who had just arrived to join them a little embarrassed.
But the two of them couldn't refute it. They both had inheritances and naturally knew what it was like in the frontier period more than a hundred years ago. It was an era when there was no shortage of great masters and strong masters emerged in endlessly.
In just a short period of time, the level of masters in the Central Plains has dropped so much that it would be a joke to tell anyone about it.
"Ning Daoqi is here, let's go!"
Seeing Ning Daoqi coming, Lei Hu nodded to him and said directly: "The Desert Temple is just the beginning. I hope you two can practice hard and accumulate enough knowledge. You may suddenly break through one day!"
Song Que joked: "You are so sure that we can gain something from this trip!"
Lei Hu smiled and said: "I'm not sure, but I still got a lot of inspiration from Bi Xuan's Yanyang Miracle Technique. I think it should have some effects!"
Song Que and Ning Daoqi were excited when they heard this. Even great masters like Lei Hu could benefit from the Yanyang Miracle Technique. Obviously, the Desert Temple was even more magical than they imagined.
Bi Xuan's flaming sun skill is indeed quite impressive. Once activated, it can immediately create a flaming sun field, which can affect the mental perception of opponents in the field, and even cause people to consciously burn to death.
With Lei Hu's strength, it is not difficult to see the essence through phenomena. How can we fail to see that the core element of Yanyang Qigong is the true meaning of the sun that is understood in the heart.
If he is allowed to use the Yanyang Qigong, the high temperature within a radius of ten feet can be controlled at will, and the power is not ordinary tyrannical.
Ning Daoqi smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the master of the Brahma Palace of Cihang Jingzhai wants to participate!"
hehe……
Lei Hu said calmly: "It's not impossible for her to want to go, and the Taoist side can't favor one over the other!"
Naturally, Ning Daoqi had no objection. After all, he was also from a Taoist sect. He couldn't deny it just by calling the Taoist sect "Taoist". Song Que couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he didn't say anything unpleasant.
When the news came out, the Buddhist and Taoist elites who had been waiting in Dongdu for a long time immediately came to join them. They all had a very low-key attitude and did not dare to stab Wu Emperor Leihu.
This trip was originally led by Lei Hu, and he could not tolerate any noise from this group of Buddhist and Taoist participants.
After confirming the number of departures, Lei Hu was not polite and led a group of Central Plains masters directly out of Yumen Pass, following the route Bi Xuan had given them.
It is difficult to determine the exact address in the desert terrain. Fortunately, Lei Hu's mind is strong enough and can faintly merge with the world here, sensing clear or blurry images depending on the distance.
It took half a time to explore and sense. The team was all experts with extraordinary strength. The weakest ones were all innately advanced in cultivation. They moved like the wind and were still not affected by the harsh climate such as the desert.
Lei Hu estimated that the group went deep into the Taklimakan Desert and finally found a desert temple that looked like a ruin.
It was completely changed beyond recognition by the wind and sand, and the construction age and history of the temple here could not be seen. On the surface, it was just a ruin. Only when the group entered the underground space of the temple did they realize how extraordinary the desert temple was.
He didn't need to observe too much. He just took a few glances to see clearly the underground space of the temple, and he guessed why the desert temple allowed Bi Xuan to break through.
This is a temple dedicated to the sun!
Just briefly glancing at the dense mysterious patterns in the underground space of the temple and the sun carvings on the altar, I felt a strange feeling in my heart, and then the meridians and acupuncture points representing the Yang meridians in my body vibrated together, giving birth to a kind of
Inexplicable hot smell.
What's more, a great sun is about to erupt from the sea of consciousness!
A certain kind of enlightenment arises in his heart. Once the sun rises in the sea of consciousness, his future moves and the possible nature of his Qi will all become positive!
In other words, through practice (Long Sheng Jue), all the yin and yang of the five elements will be eliminated and turned into pure solar power!
It cannot be said that the power of the Sun's magical power is not strong. It is estimated that every few people in this world can withstand the power of his punch.
Even the evil emperor Xiang Yutian also resists the brilliance of the sun with his tender instrument!
With Lei Hu's advanced realm, it is natural to see at a glance that the Turkic martial lord Bi Xuan has not understood the true meaning of the sun too deeply. Otherwise, his strength would not only be at the level of a grandmaster, but he would at least be able to achieve the realm of a great master.
But Lei Hu doesn't need pure attack power, and he doesn't want his own cultivation to be too extreme, so he plans to follow the path of cultivation of Yin and Yang of the Five Elements.
The great sun that was about to burst out from the sea of consciousness was forcibly suppressed, and the pulsing of the positive meridians throughout his body slowly stopped. Of course, he did not give up completely, but just let the ribbon and the blazing sun-like breath wander around the whole body, constantly washing the already powerful and incomparable
