The key to destroying the Governor's Mansion lies in Cangyun Castle. To be more precise, the key lies in the Governor himself.
The governor did not just allow the Taiping Religion to develop, but kept sending people to suppress it. If it was just an uprising of ordinary people, he would have successfully suppressed it. It is a pity that the two outsiders, Zhou Mengyao and Qi Xuansu, were unreasonable.
This forced reversal of the situation caused the Dudu Mansion's suppression efforts to fall short.
As for the Governor himself, his surname is Li and his given name is Li Yuanjing. It is said that he is a member of the Daqi royal family and a key figure in the entire Governor's Mansion. He was already the chief official here before this world was swallowed up by the demons from outside the territory.
However, it seemed that he could not leave the Governor's Mansion at will, so he never showed up and had no head-on confrontation with Zhou Mengyao and Qi Xuansu.
This is also a very strange point. The formation time of this extraterritorial demon was much earlier than this island, so Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao speculated that this island was later swallowed by the extraterritorial demon. So before this island was swallowed,
There should be another world within the body of the Extraterrestrial Demon. That is the key to the formation of the Extraterrestrial Demon, and it is the core of the Extraterrestrial Demon.
The two thought about it and thought that this core world should be the fragments of the world from the underworld.
In other words, the two of them did not go deep into the core area of the extraterrestrial devil's body at this time, but were in a relatively peripheral position.
Just like the distribution of state capitals on a map, some states belong to border areas and some states belong to core areas.
In other words, the underworld is the true form of the extraterrestrial demon, and the fragment of the world that was swallowed by the extraterrestrial demon during the Daqi period, that is, this island, should be just the incarnation of the extraterrestrial demon.
The deity is made up of a small world, and the incarnation is also made up of a small world.
There is still a connection between the two, which is the key node in the Dudu Mansion and the source of Yin Qi.
Li Yuanjing sits here all year round.
Qi Xuansu guessed that Li Yuanjing should be a man of heavenly strength.
In the outside world, heavenly beings are of course nothing. If placed in the Daxuan imperial court, I am afraid that they would not even be able to serve as the chief military officer of the garrison, let alone the chief military officer of the admiral.
However, cultivation is prohibited here. When the false immortals come, they have to return to their original form. The dragon has to be coiled, the tiger has to lie down, and the gods are like gods, calling the wind and rain, omnipotent.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu waited until Zhou Mengyao became a heavenly being by condensing his divine power before he decided to take action.
The two thousand troops, plus the supporting civilians and auxiliary soldiers, totaling more than 10,000 people, marched in the direction of Cangyun Castle in a mighty manner.
Among the two thousand people, Qi Xuansu also managed to scrape together a hundred cavalry through frugality. Most of the horses were captured from the battle against the governor's army, as were the armor and weapons.
Originally, Qi Xuansu wanted to form a Shenji Battalion, but conditions did not allow for it, so he could only form a firearms team without fire guns. Because fire guns have high requirements on craftsmen, if the air tightness is insufficient, or the wall of the gun tube is
If it doesn't meet the standard, the barrel will explode. If you don't hit others, you will hit yourself first. Therefore, the firearms team uses rockets that emerged during the Jin Dynasty.
However, Qi Xuansu finally restored the Yuanyang Formation. Although it was definitely far behind the orthodox Yuanyang Formation, it was still better than nothing, and it was enough to deal with these rotten officers and soldiers.
The next development was just as planned by Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao. The two thousand troops were destroyed all the way. The officers and soldiers along the way were defeated and many county towns surrendered.
The seemingly stable rule of the Governor's Mansion is already full of cracks after hundreds of years of oppression. As long as someone raises his hand, the situation will immediately fall apart.
The morale of the Yellow Turban Army is getting higher and higher, and their faith in the two leaders is getting stronger.
Qi Xuansu can even clearly sense that every time he wins a county, a large amount of incense will come into his account.
In any case, Qi Xuansu has established himself as a military leader. Every time he wins a war, the followers of the Taiping Sect will attribute the credit to the Tiangong general instead of the great sage. Therefore, continuous victory on the battlefield can
Let Qi Xuansu quickly gain the power of incense. Only soldiers who have gone through successive battles will understand what the battlefield means. They will only believe in the generals who lead them from one victory to another.
Zhou Mengyao is on the other hand. After all, soldiers are only a minority. Ordinary people other than soldiers, as well as the old, weak, women and children, are the majority. They can also generate incense and desire, and they have no deep feelings for General Tiangong.
He is more willing to believe in great teachers, which is Zhou Mengyao's main source of belief.
This is also the basic base of Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao, which divides the Taiping Sect into two major camps. Qi Xuansu represents the military force.
Nowadays, Qi Xuansu is already in the Nine-Layer Building in the stage of returning to his true form, and is only one step away from heaven. Maybe Zhou Mengyao alone cannot guarantee that he can win over the governor Li Yuanjing, but with Qi Xuansu added, it will be different.
Zhou Mengyao is also consolidating his cultivation of heaven and man. The method is very simple. Every time he goes to a county, he overturns the laws of the governor's office, abolishes the tyranny, kills the culprits, calms the public's anger, and establishes a relatively fair environment. Naturally, he can
Gain support in a very short period of time, and then gain incense and power.
News of the victory continued to spread from the front, the situation was excellent, and an exciting and fanatical atmosphere began to spread within the Taiping Religion.
Facts have proved that the two leaders' decision was correct.
The arrested senior leaders of the Taiping Religion ushered in their final fate.
On an inconspicuous night, the number three Taiping cult figure who stayed behind executed them all.
Physical annihilation is always a once and for all solution.
This order came from Zhou Mengyao.
Although she is indifferent to the whole thing, since it has been done, it must be done in full. At this time, there can be no chaos in the rear. If they lose, these people will inevitably cause chaos, so it is better to solve it as soon as possible.
Finally, six days later, Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao led the army to arrive outside Cangyun Castle.
As a military fortress, the city defense of Cangyun Fort is very strong, with all kinds of defense equipment available, and there are still a thousand officers and soldiers stationed in the city. Even if the more than 2,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army were almost consumed along the way, they want to attack by force.
This city is still a very difficult thing.
That's all. There is a black cloud condensed above Cangyun Castle, covering the sky and the sun. It can be seen that this black cloud is condensed by Yin Qi. Its principle is somewhat similar to the Yin Moon of God Ho Luo.
, but lacked a god, so the Kingdom of God could not be formed.
Li Yuanjing, who had been in the Governor's Mansion, naturally sensed the arrival of Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao.
What happened today and what was going to happen were actually within Li Yuanjing's expectation. He had anticipated this day after the second crackdown failed.
It was a pity that he could not leave Cangyun Castle and could only watch helplessly as the Taiping Sect grew stronger day by day, and the two outsiders became more and more powerful, and were gradually able to compete with him head-on.
It's not that he doesn't want to leave Cangyun Castle, but the power of Yin Qi binds him to Cangyun Castle. Yin Qi is his biggest support for ruling this place for hundreds of years, and it is also his greatest confidence to hunt on behalf of the sky.
It broke his shackles and prevented him from leaving Cangyun Castle for half a step.
Li Yuanjing couldn't quite understand why His Majesty would do this.
In fact, Taoism has already given the answer. This phenomenon is called "passive integration". Li Yuanjing absorbed too much Yin Qi and has merged with Tao. Of course, it is not with this "yang world", but through Yin Qi.
The connection, passively connecting with the "underworld" world on the other side.
Or in Western terms, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you. Li Yuanjing is being swallowed by the abyss under his feet. One day, he will become a part of the abyss.
The current Li Yuanjing is only preliminary, so he can still stay in Cangyun Castle. In a few hundred years, he may be dragged into another world.
However, Li Yuanjing was not completely unprepared. For hundreds of years, he lived in poverty, did not seek pleasure, and repeatedly oppressed and governed the people, just for this important event...
At this moment, a huge shock interrupted Li Yuanjing's thoughts.
Li Yuanjing climbed up to the watchtower and looked out of the city.
A figure had already risen into the air, using divine power to turn part of the city wall into soft mud, causing the city tower to collapse.
Although the city wall here is strong, the talismans that were once used to strengthen the city wall have become ineffective. After all, the pseudo-immortals have lost their cultivation, not to mention some ordinary talismans. As a result, the city wall has lost its ability to resist spells, and some who cannot perform meritorious deeds
The means will come in handy.
What Zhou Mengyao used was the reverse application of "turning fossils into mud", or "turning the ground into steel", and easily solved the problem of siege.
The Yellow Turban Army cheered loudly in the name of "Huang Tian" and "Great Master" and charged in through the gap in the city wall.
Zhou Mengyao did not land. After recovering her cultivation as a celestial being, she could splurge a little. She flew through the air and headed straight for the Governor's Mansion.
Along the way, many guards of the Governor's Mansion shot arrows at her, but they were unable to cause any harm to her.
Qi Xuansu could not fly at this time, so he could only advance from the ground and led the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army straight to the Governor's Mansion.
Li Yuanjing, who was upstairs, naturally saw this scene. The military attaché robe on his body moved without any wind and made a hunting sound. Then he jumped up and walked against the wind, facing Zhou Mengyao.
A fight between gods and humans is really nothing.
No matter in the past or now, Li Yuanjing has never touched the level of the immortal. He has never even experienced the mysterious experience of the immortal realm like Qi Xuansu.
But Zhou Mengyao is different. She has not only experienced it, but also crossed the threshold. She is an immortal herself. Although her realm cultivation has been inevitably weakened due to various reasons, she still has the experience and insights of an immortal.
.
There was no reason for Zhou Mengyao to lose in this battle.
At the same time, Qi Xuansu continued to kill the guards and followers who were loyal to Li Yuanjing himself, and went straight to the core of the source of Yin Qi.
