The two chatted for a while, and then a servant reported that Mrs. Long had returned home, and asked Long Zhen to go see her quickly and give her an answer.
After Long Zhen left in a hurry, he didn't come back that night. It seems that he temporarily followed Wuxu's instructions and deceived him temporarily.
Although today's troubles have more or less attracted the attention of the Dragon Palace Princess and the Black Dragon Envoy, we don't know when or how likely Long Zhen will be to enter the Dragon Palace or the Black Dragon Envoy. Let's call it a casual move.
Wuxu sat quietly on the bed alone. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not very interesting. What does Xuanyingmen have to do with me? I have already transferred my identity to Xuanjizi. Besides, the most urgent task is to leave the Dragon Palace barrier and enter
Jie Zhenren, and then see how to get to Tianwaitian.
Thinking of this, Wuxu couldn't help but look at the communication talisman in the Sumeru Ring, and murmured to himself, "I don't know what the situation is like on the mainland? Has Zhao Tong arrived at Yingtian Mansion? Liu Futong must have communicated with An Feng
The city must survive together."
...
In the Grand Marshal's Mansion of Yingtian Mansion, on the top floor of an attic in the backyard, the sound of a group of mixed men and women reading could be heard.
"The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. A city of three miles and a country of seven miles can be surrounded and attacked, but it will be invincible."
A woman in plain clothes, with a round face, long eyebrows, and straight facial features, was sitting upright. While watching the maidservant below reading in a melodious manner, she said to Zhao Tong, who was reading next to her, "It's difficult for my sister to be busy with the army.
Come and see me."
Zhao Tong, after reading for a while, closed the book and looked at the plainly dressed but somewhat majestic woman, he hesitated to speak.
This woman is none other than Ma Linghua. Since her awakening, not only has she become more knowledgeable and sensible, and she has taken care of the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner, but as the marshal's wife, she has not only comforted the families of the generals who stayed in Yingtian Mansion, but also the fierce advisers and generals, whenever they meet.
, a few words, all won over him with joy and sincerity. This made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was running on the front line of the battlefield, much less worried and relied on him.
Today, Ma Linghua has nothing to do and is gathering some slaves to teach the Confucian "Mencius". Following Liu Bowen and Xuan Jizi from Chuzhou, he came to Yingtian Mansion and met Zhao Tong.
Ma Linghua, through Zhang Yi, already knew Zhao Tong's identity, and had met him several times before. Now, seeing that Zhao Tong was preoccupied there and hesitant to speak, he waved the people away and sighed to Zhao Tong.
He said, "When my sister comes here now, it must be because of the same thing?"
Zhao Tong nodded silently and considered for a moment, "Now, although Zhang Shicheng has not explicitly surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, he has a tacit understanding with the Yuan army and is bent on capturing Yingtian Mansion. And Chuzhou is directly in front of its troops.
The world is now full of dangers."
It turned out that after Zhao Tong arrived at Yingtian Mansion first, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Linghua personally received him, but they kept King Xiao Ming and others in Chuzhou, saying that there was a war going on and there were not enough troops to welcome them safely.
After the city of Anfeng was defeated, Liu Futong used the screen of heroes surrounded by mountains and rivers in the Black Dragon Palace as the center of his formation. Taking advantage of the grievances that had accumulated in the city and the blood and energy that filled the city in those days, he launched the "Four Directions" that he had previously directed Chen Xuanli and Hu Dashan to set up at the Sifang City Gate.
The "Hell" formation transformed Anfeng City into a living hell. Anyone who entered the city would be attacked by the ghosts transformed from the dead in the city.
That day, not only ordinary soldiers suffered numerous casualties, but also the monks. It is said that Hu Zanganda, a master lama sent by the Yuan Dynasty to take advantage of the victory, and Sanshi Taoist sent by the East China Sea Alliance on Zhang Shicheng's side, these two real monks were also there
In this formation, one's body will die.
Zhu Yuanzhang led the army, and when he arrived later, he only saw that with Anfeng City as the center, with a radius of three hundred miles, the sky and the earth were colorless, and all life was in ruins. Resentment, murderousness, decay, and death were entangled together to form a huge
There was a black cloud of mushrooms, and no one could get close. So he invited eminent monks from all over the world to come and save the souls of the dead.
Hualien Miaofa Sect, which had always ignored Zhu Yuanzhang and secluded itself from the world, unexpectedly sent thirty-three monks headed by Zhenling Great Monk Zhiyu, who traveled day and night and broke into the city with a narrow escape.
They formed the White Lotus Formation of the Purifying World and chanted sutras for three days and three nights. Finally, the wise fool left the city with only Miaoyin and Miaofa, and all the other monks passed away.
Ma Linghua, seeing that Zhao Tong really came for this matter, could only say, "On that day, the Anfeng incident shocked the world. Zhang Shicheng's general Lu Zhen and tens of thousands of soldiers were all slaughtered, causing heavy losses. Now, if we rashly kill Xiao
When King Ming welcomed him back, Zhang Shicheng was angry, so he sent his army to the west, and Chen Youliang and Chen Youliang launched an east-west attack. Yingtian Mansion was too busy to take care of itself, so it was difficult for him to be careful. My sister must understand this truth? "
Zhao Tong sighed. Liu Bowen and Xuan Jizi had said Ma Linghua's words to him earlier.
Yesterday, Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er asked someone to bring a letter written in blood. He burst into tears as he spoke. He was miserable and miserable. He couldn't bear it in his heart, so he shamelessly asked Ma Linghua to plead for mercy. He hoped that someone else could write a letter and persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, who was blocking Chen Youliang on the front line of Taiping, to send troops.
Take Prince Xiao Ming and others to Yingtian Mansion.
Now it seems that it will be impossible to achieve his wish. Zhu Yuanzhang would rather send more troops to Chuzhou than take back Prince Xiao Ming. It is obvious that he wants Prince Xiao Ming to be a target to bear Zhang Shicheng's wrath and attract his troops.
Ma Linghua asked again, "It is said that Liu Futong handed over the White Lotus Order to Master Wuxu for safekeeping. I wonder if this is the case?"
Zhao Tong, who was full of worries, replied, "It is indeed the case. The situation was urgent, and Prime Minister Liu personally requested it. Master Wuxu then agreed to keep it temporarily and return it to Prince Xiao Ming later."
Ma Linghua said slowly, "I don't know where Master Wuxu is in the East China Sea now, and the communication talisman can't contact him." Seeing Zhao Tong's face became even more sad, he hurriedly said, "That day, after Master Miaoyin left Anfeng, he mentioned
I have been here and Master Wuxu’s life tablet in Hualien Miaofa Sect is intact, so my sister does not need to worry.”
Wuxu came from the Hualien Miaofa Sect, and Zhao Tong also knew it. Seeing what Ma Linghua said, he asked in surprise, "Is this really true? Did Master Miaoyin personally tell Dashuai Zhang?"
Ma Linghua paused for a moment and nodded.
After Zhao Tong arrived at Yingtian Mansion and was personally received by Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Linghua, he knew about the relationship between Wuxu and Zhu Yuanzhang. He knew that Ma Linghua would not perfunctory him on this matter, so he smiled, put some energy into it, and thanked Ma Linghua.
Farewell.
After leaving the Shuai Mansion, Zhao Tong walked halfway and came to Liu Bowen's residence again to inform Wuxu that the fortune cards from Hualien Miaofa Sect were intact as before.
Liu Bowen was silent there for a while, and only told Zhao Tong to be at ease and not to worry about Prince Xiao Ming anymore, and to just wait for the news at his residence.
After Zhao Tong left, Xuan Jizi came out from behind and said to Liu Bowen, "I used a blood letter from Prince Xiao Ming to encourage Zhao Tong to plead with Madam Ma, and now I'm telling him to be patient and wait for the news. In this way, I'm not afraid of being enlightened."
When fellow Taoist comes back, do you blame Brother Liu?"
Liu Bowen smiled and said, "Sometimes, only Miss Zhao Tong can find out some information. Besides, Liu is not doing it for his own selfish interests, so how can Master Wuxu not be surprised?"
After Zhao Tong used the secret technique of Heavenly Demon Dance for Wuxu, he is now only at the first level of mortal world. In Xuanjizi's eyes, he is like a useless person. It was only because of Wuxu's solemn request before leaving that he paid attention.
At this moment, seeing Liu Bowen talking about the news, he turned around and asked, "I wonder what news Brother Liu got from Miss Zhao's narrative just now? Is it the White Lotus Order?"
Liu Bowen put his hands on his hands and said with a smile, "It turns out that Brother Tong also noticed this."
Xuanjizi chuckled and said, "That Madam Ma came down from the outer world, and she took the initiative to ask about Bai Lian Ling. It's fine if you don't know her identity. If you and I knew it, wouldn't you think it was strange?"
Liu Bowen did not answer, brushed his beard for a moment, and then said, "How can the Hualien Miaofa Sect let such a heavy object wander outside? Let Liu Futong, an obsessive outsider, hold it in his hands?"
Xuan Jizi was also sitting there with his eyes closed and meditating. Suddenly he looked at Liu Bowen with a strange look on his face and said, "Brother Liu is a major Confucian cultivator. Do you know any young boy whose cultivation level is around the third level of the mortal world? Recently, he has
Study tour in the East China Sea?”
Liu Bowen, who was thinking about many things in his mind, was puzzled by Xuanjizi's question, and replied with a slight displeasure, "No! How can there be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy nowadays whose cultivation is still on the third level of the mortal world? Miss me Liu Bowen, ten
When I was three or four years old, although I dabbled in poetry, calligraphy, and painting, my cultivation was just an introduction to the mortal world!"
Suddenly, Liu Bowen looked at Xuanjizi in confusion, "Have you been studying in the East China Sea recently?"
Xuan Jizi was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be aware of Liu Bowen's doubts. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Xuan Ying Sect just sent out a message, and someone rewarded someone for finding out this message. He is thirteen or fourteen years old, good at water-based exercises, and has a lot of knowledge.
Poetry.”
Liu Bowen clapped his hands and said, "It must be Master Wuxu! A thirteen or fourteen-year-old Confucian student with a third-level mortal cultivation. Who wouldn't treat it as a treasure, put it in his family's sect, and cultivate it carefully, how could he reach the realm of the East China Sea Demon Alliance?
Master Wuxu has cultivated the Dharma Realm, and the water-based exercises are not imitated casually? Poetry? As a Taoist among you and me, when we reach the realm of real people, who can't draw parallels?"
As the saying goes
Countless murderous mushroom clouds, thirty white lotuses passed away.
The king of the Ming Dynasty used Chuzhou as a target, and Wuxu spread the news to the East China Sea.
