Yu Xian thought for a while and felt more and more that he was insignificant in this game.
He sighed deeply and stepped forward to find the Ghost King of Nanchuan.
The future is uncertain.
And eating can be controlled now...
Yu Xian calmly had breakfast with Nanchuan Ghost King.
While we were chatting, someone came outside asking to see me.
When he was called in, he saw that Yu Xian was no stranger to him. He was none other than Zhang Song, the clerk he had seen in the tent last night.
Although Zhang Song's appearance is hard to describe, he is extremely talented and has a photographic memory.
But this guy was a famous wallflower, and Yu Xian didn't like him very much.
After Zhang Song entered the tent, he bowed in accordance with etiquette and said with a smile, "I have seen the Imperial Master in my humble position."
Yu Xian motioned him to get up, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Song heard the words and replied, "The humble post is here for two things. One is that Zhou Mu is going to adopt Taoist Chongxuanzi's method and start planting demon peaches outside Jianmen Pass today, and use the peach trees as steps to attack the sword."
Inside the gate, Taoist Master Chongxuanzi called upon the Imperial Master to come and help, and the state pastor asked me to ask the Imperial Master what he meant."
Yu Xian listened and nodded, "It's natural for a disciple to do his duty when something happens. I haven't heard of Master having other disciples, so I won't stop him if he wants to come to Zhou Mu."
After Zhang Song heard this, he seemed to have expected it and continued.
"The second thing is that some disciples from the Wugui Sect are coming to surrender one after another. Their skills are weird. If they are placed in the camp, they may panic the morale of the army. My lord remembers that the Imperial Master is all disciples of the ghost way. I don't know.
Are you willing to take it in?"
These are all things arranged by Gui Ji Wu Yan. As a tool, Yu Xian naturally has no room to refuse.
"Can."
Zhang Song and other Yu Xian all responded, and then said, "Zhou Mu said that if the Imperial Master is fine, he can go to Jiange with the vanguard team later."
Yu Xian smiled faintly, "I came to the army just to help Zhou Mu conquer Hanzhong. There is nothing else."
After saying that, he ordered the people around him to look for Bi Ping, and Yuan Jing went with him. The Nanchuan Ghost King wanted to frighten the people of the Witch Ghost Sect, so he could only stay behind.
…
The ones serving as the vanguard today are Sima Zhao Wei of the Chinese Army, Colonel Pang Le and Li Yi, and the three thousand elite soldiers they led.
Although the military attaches of the Yizhou Army could not defeat Pang De who was blocking the Jiange Pavilion, they would not be able to deal with the siege of soldiers and horses as long as Pang De left the natural danger of the Jiange Pavilion.
Therefore, although there were few soldiers this time, everyone was still confident.
By the time they arrived in front of the Jiange, Chongxuanzi, Chijinzi and other Taoists who had arrived earlier had already observed the terrain and were discussing in a low voice the power they could borrow for later actions.
The defenders on the sword pavilion initially paid little attention to these Taoists, but they became nervous when they saw the arrival of the group of vanguards.
Zhao Wei took the lead and ordered the crossbowmen to come forward and shoot a flurry of arrows at the sword pavilion.
The defenders who closed the gate quickly fought back and also greeted the outsiders with bows and arrows.
Jiange's terrain is high and it occupies an advantageous location.
In this round of shooting, the Jiange defenders were almost unscathed. Although the Yizhou army was mentally prepared, there were still soldiers who were unable to dodge and were shot.
Fortunately, Zhao Wei didn't expect to take any advantage. He visually measured the range of the defenders and directed the archers to retreat slowly.
Things have pros and cons.
Although the pass in front of the pass was narrow and difficult to attack, the defenders were unable to deploy their forces and quickly launched a surprise attack on the siege troops.
Although the archers of the Yizhou Army suffered a loss in shooting, as long as the deployed troops and horses could maintain several times the number of troops, it would be enough to make the Hanzhong Army pay a sufficient price.
Pang Le commanded some soldiers to start digging trenches and building camps. Li Yi was fully armed and took the remaining soldiers and horses back and forth on guard to prevent Pang De from charging out.
Chen Tiao went to the city to see it in person.
Seeing that the Yizhou army was just besieging them, they didn't take it seriously.
They are the ones defending the city and have enough patience to deal with it.
Yu Xian took a few glances and then went to Lu Peng to look for Chong Xuanzi.
Many Taoist priests in the Heming Taoist Palace had heard about Yu Xian. They knew that he was a disciple of Zhitou Dajiu Chongxuanzi, and that he had become a master of the Han Dynasty.
These people looked at Yu Xian with friendly and curious eyes.
Yu Xian did not dare to neglect, and did enough etiquette.
Chong Xuanzi looked at Yu Xian with a smile and bowed before him, and said to him, "I never thought that my disciple would have such a chance to become a national master."
Yu Xian's experience is already bizarre, and this encounter is even more unpredictable.
There was no arrogance on his face, and he said respectfully, "I have made my own decisions without asking for a teacher. I hope all teachers will atone for their sins."
Chi Jinzi listened and laughed, "Nowadays, the world is Confucianism. You can be the master of the country, and you are also worthy of Taoist priests like us. How can you blame me?"
Chong Xuanzi also smiled and nodded.
Although Taoists are quiet and inactive, they also have their philosophy of governing the world.
Taoism and Confucianism launched a life-and-death struggle in the three dynasties of Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu. Unfortunately, the Huang Lao line of civil servants who advocated recuperation failed miserably. The ambitious Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose Confucianism to assist him in ruling the world.
The Taoist disciples could only flee into the mountains and forests in embarrassment and be alone.
After Dong Zhongshu's "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", they even lost their chance of making a comeback.
The wealth accumulated by the Huanglao family during the "Wenjing Reign" was quickly squandered, which led to the great martial arts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty also took a sharp turn, from prosperity to decline.
It is naturally unrealistic to say that Taoists have no complaints about this.
Chong Xuanzi turned around and told everyone, "You can wait and build the altar at the chosen place. The poor Taoist will take the apprenticeship test."
All Taoists should be.
So the old Taoist took Yu Xian for a casual walk in the mountains, first asked about the progress of Yu Xian's practice, and then answered some doubts about Yu Xian's practice.
Later, Chongxuanzi did not hide his secrets and taught the subsequent cultivation methods carefully.
To be honest, Yu Xian and this old Taoist had not known each other for a long time, but Chong Xuanzi cherished his inheritance, and Yu Xian was grateful for Chong Xuanzi's kindness.
Both of them have simple emotions.
By the time the two returned to the sword pavilion, the altar had been built.
This altar is a ring-shaped earthen platform, with flags, Dharma bells, Dharma bells, Dharma seals and other objects placed around it according to the directions.
Chongxuanzi said to Yu Xian, "Disciple, you will be the one to activate the demon peach later. This is also a practice."
Yu Xian responded respectfully.
Chongxuanzi solemnly took out a peach branch from his sleeve and planted it in the soil in the open space in the center of the altar. Following Chongxuanzi's instructions, Yu Xian carefully aroused the vitality of the surrounding wood and poured it into the peach branch.
The peach branches trembled slightly and swayed in the wind.
Yu Xian clearly felt a vitality appearing on the peach branches.
This feeling was so wonderful that Yu Xian felt like a bridge, connecting death and rebirth.
——This is completely different from the feeling he had when he triggered the pear blossom!
Even if the pear branch blooms, it is just changing from one dead thing to another.
However, this demon peach, which had been killed long ago, is growing strong roots, spreading branches and leaves, and flourishing in the sun...
