The Ise War is over, but the Fenglinzhou War is not yet over. In addition to pressuring the royal family to surrender, there is one more thing that needs to be resolved.
Before the February offensive, Master Qingwei personally drew up a list, mainly for the various ghosts and gods in Fenglinzhou. It was divided into three parts: those that could be recruited, those that must be eliminated, and those that were not moved for the time being. Let’s not mention them for now.
As for the moving part, the top three that can be recruited are Tamamo-mae, Suzuka Gozen, and Ibaraki Doji. Now that all three parties have surrendered, it can be said that Domon has initially achieved its goal in terms of recruiting, and the next step is to solve the problem that must be eliminated.
that part of.
First, we need to define what must be eliminated. First, those who are stubborn and resolutely stand against the Taoist sect. Second, they cause great harm to a certain area, affect the safety of civilians, and hinder farming and commerce.
There is a great demon that just takes advantage of these two points - Yamata no Orochi.
First of all, Yamata no Orochi is controlled by Tianmen, and unlike Tamamo-mae, who has a relationship background in Qingqiu Mountain, he naturally stands firmly on the opposite side of Daomen.
Secondly, the Yamata-no-Orochi has been entrenched in Izumo Country for many years. Not only does it hinder transportation, but it also eats living people, which can be regarded as causing great harm.
Therefore, the Taoist sect decided to kill the Yamata-no-Orochi and get rid of this scourge. When Suzhanwu Zun killed the Yamata-no-Orochi, it was sung for thousands of years. After the Taoist sect successfully killed the Yamata-no-Orochi, it naturally had to publicize it and strengthen the legitimacy of the Taoist rule.
and legality.
In fact, the people in the East have always been very realistic. What is destiny, that is, just shouting it verbally, but in their bones they do not recognize the divine right of kings, let alone blood. Don’t they think that princes, generals, and ministers have a certain kind? Is it orthodox?
The key lies in merit, whether it is to expand territory externally or to allow people to live and work in peace and contentment internally, this is meritorious service and the greatest orthodoxy.
Taoism naturally also has this consideration.
So after the February offensive ended successfully, Qingweizhenren asked the Zanhua painters at the camp to draft a preliminary plan for killing the Yamata no Orochi.
For the Taoist sect, killing monsters in the immortal stage is not a big deal. First, monsters cannot be compared with humans. At the same level of cultivation, immortals are always stronger. Secondly, the immortal who died in the hands of the Taoist sect
There are not a few people or monsters, and the dragon clan is almost exterminated. Daomen has already been familiar with the road, not to mention a mere Yamata no Orochi.
Throughout the ages, being organized is better than being unorganized.
Therefore, after receiving the order, the Zanhua painters read various archives of Fenglinzhou Dafu, Toyotomi Prime Minister's Palace, and Ise Shrine, and sorted out the various deities of Yamata no Orochi.
The strange habits and the geographical conditions of Izumo country, while also transferring the dragon slaying plan from Yukyo, and then modifying it on the basis of the dragon slaying plan, a preliminary plan to kill the Yamata no Orochi was completed. However, the follow-up
It also needs to be discussed, reviewed and modified by Master Qingwei and other Taoist senior officials.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were not involved in drafting the plan because they were allowed to rest. Yao Pei was mainly responsible for this aspect.
There are specialties in the art. "Heavenly calculation" is not only used to fight with people, but can also be used in other aspects, including but not limited to playing chess and cards. Yao Pei's calculation power is used in this kind of written work that requires a large amount of data to support.
Above, it's just right.
In this regard, there are not many records from the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office and the Horinzhou Prefecture, but more about the Izumo Kingdom. However, Ise Shrine has a lot of records about the Yamata no Orochi. This is why I conquered Ise first.
The benefits of momentum.
After the fall of Ise Shrine, all its internal archives were accepted by the Taoist sect, and there were also some righteous people among them, which provided a great help in this regard.
According to common sense, except for immortals, the more powerful the existence, the more profound the impact on the environment where it is located.
In the past, when the Taoist sect had not massacred dragons, dragons often landed on the shore. Wherever they passed, there were strong winds and rains, even violent storms, and flooding. If you were not careful, you would end up in Qianli Zeguo. This is the impact of dragons on the environment.
Impact.
When God Lu Wu appears in his true form, the huge amount of energy and blood heat generated unintentionally during his breathing can burn out all ghosts and ghosts. If God Lu Wu stays in one place for too long, the vegetation there will absorb Lu Wu.
It is not God Lu Wu's original intention for the God's blood to escape, causing some kind of change, but the existence of God Lu Wu naturally affects everything around him.
This is also the reason why strange phenomena often occur in the legendary places where mythical beasts live, such as dragon caves and phoenix nests. According to legend, there are even people who believe in dragons. The entire tribe lives in the dragon's sleeping place, absorbing the dragon's breath over the years, and even
Scales grew on the bodies of all the clan members.
From the Taoist point of view, this is a kind of "pollution", or "infection", just like a person infected with a disease. Although this infection will cause the person to obtain a very thin dragon bloodline, and gain some kind of magical power to enhance his physical fitness,
It will also change the mind and make it worship and obey the dragon clan, just like a person killed by a tiger will turn into a ghost.
, equivalent to a puppet.
At that time, God Lu Wu was surrounded by a large number of strange beasts called "Tulu", with sheep's heads and four corners, and a large number of sacred birds called "Qinyuan", which were shaped like bees and as big as mandarin ducks. If they were stung by them, anyone would be killed.
Birds and beasts will die, and any tree will wither. This is actually what some birds and beasts have become after being contaminated by the blood of God Lu Wu.
The difference between immortals and mythical beasts is that they know how to hold back but not let go. Even as early as the stage of heavenly beings, they began to do it intentionally, paying attention to seeing the golden sword in a small space. However, when the immortals no longer deliberately restrain their aura,
Sometimes, various strange phenomena will appear, such as the terrifying true form of a human immortal, the golden body of a god, etc.
The Yamata no Orochi is no exception. The area where it is located is shrouded by a large amount of clouds and fog all year round, which confuses perception and is equivalent to a certain formation. When the flying boat of Qi Xuansu and others deviated from the direction, there may be some human factors, and this cannot be ruled out.
Due to the interference of factors, even the word "cloud" in Izumo Kingdom and the word "cloud" in "Amancong Yunjian" came from this.
These clouds and mist will greatly hinder the Daomen's use of flying boats. Either the Daomen will use the mobile formation carried on the "Yinglong" to forcibly disperse the clouds and mist, or they will abandon the flying boats and launch an attack from land.
This also involves the local terrain. Qi Xuansu has been there before. It is mountainous, with high mountains and dense forests. It is difficult to transport artillery there, and it is difficult for Xuanjia heavy cavalry to fight in the mountains.
In this case, the only way is to mobilize elite combat forces to strangle. This method is not impossible, but it is best to understand the weakness of Yamata no Orochi.
When Suzhanwu Zun killed the Yamata-no-Orochi, he had not yet become a god. The reason why he was able to kill the Yamata-no-Orochi alone was because he got the Yamata-no-Orochi drunk first.
This has to mention a very miraculous thing. Tianmen calls it "spirit poison wine". The meaning is straightforward and simple. Two people once fell into this trap. The first one was the Yamata no Orochi, who was not yet a grown-up.
The god Su Zhanwu got drunk and killed him, and the second one was Shuten Tongzi, who was also drunk because of drinking the "spiritual poison wine", and was eventually beheaded in a drunken state.
However, the Taoist sect cannot use this trick, and not to mention that the Taoist sect does not have such a thing as "spirit poison wine", even if it does, Yamata no Orochi will not be fooled a second time after it has been fooled once. You know,
Whether Su Zhanwu Zun or Genji, they first gain the other party's trust and make the other party relax their vigilance, and then trick them into drinking the "spirit poison wine" instead of force-fed wine. If you have the ability to force-fed people,
since
However, it can also be killed directly.
Looking at the many great demons defeated by Tianmen and the imperial family, except for Tamamo Mae who was besieged to death, the other great demons all lost unjustly. Yamata no Orochi and Shuten Doji were killed after being drunk, and Otakemaru was killed.
He fell into a honey trap and lost the "Three Bright Swords". It can be seen that state cultivation is never the only factor that determines victory or defeat.
Yao Pei and other Zanhua unanimously believe that it is basically impossible to kill Yamata no Orochi through deception. If you want to imitate the method of besieging Tamamo-mae, not to mention whether the "public opinion" within the Taoist sect can accept it, it may cause
There were a large number of casualties, and geographical factors did not support this method. Therefore, the final plan was to use a small number of elites to kill the Yamata no Orochi.
The elites here are at least heavenly and above.
However, the first-level deity can only be used as a containment, and the main attacker must be a pseudo-immortal or a created deity.
The Yamata-no-Orochi, as its name suggests, has eight heads. According to the records of Ise Shrine, these eight heads can continue to regenerate. Unless all eight of its heads can be chopped off at the same time, it will be difficult to kill the Yamata-no-Orochi.
This requires eight masters of the first level of pseudo-immortals or created gods, each holding a half-immortal-level weapon. When the other gods restrain the Yamata no Orochi, they take action at the same time and cut off the corresponding heads.
As for Master Qingwei, he has many things to do and wants to focus on the royal family and will not participate personally. Master Zhang Qihan will go to Satsuma Domain to meet the Satsuma swordsman. This time he will kill Yamata no Orochi by Feng Lin.
Jing Tianming, the head of Zhoudao Prefecture, is in charge.
This real person, Shenzhi, has a close relationship with the royal family. His ancestor was the founding official of the Daxuan Dynasty. He once served as the real person in charge of Liaodong Taoist government. Later, the situation in Fenglinzhou continued to deteriorate, so he was transferred to Fenglinzhou as the real person in charge.
, acts more vigorously and resolutely, but Fenglinzhou Taoist Mansion is special. The real person in charge is the person with the greatest power. After Zhenren Qingwei arrived in Fenglinzhou, Zhenren Qingwei was the main one, so the existence of this real person in charge
The feeling is not very high.
Yao Pei drafted a list. In addition to the real person in charge of the palace, Jing Tianming, who personally went into battle, there were also the second deputy palace owner Li Tiangang, the third deputy palace owner Yun Fengxing, and two first-grade spiritual officers, namely Jiachen Lingguan and Ding Wei.
The Reikan and Koshin Reikan are responsible for commanding the army and cannot participate. The chief deputy palace master, Tamamozen and others have their own errands. Suzuka Gozen cannot leave Suzuka Mountain. At most, there is another Yagyu Munamasa, and there are still two people missing.
.Yao Pei and Li Changge can be regarded as gods of good fortune, but there is still one person missing.
