Chapter 268: The first real demon has discovered the secret from now on
"Hurry up and let me go! Do you want to disobey the current Holy Emperor? There is someone behind me who you can't afford to offend!"
Gao Quanzhong was lying on the ground, his body twitching slightly, but he was still shouting.
The invisible force suddenly strengthened.
Breaking through Gao Quanzhong's soul energy defense, every bone in his body was broken into pieces. He was in agony and screamed like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
However, the other person's next words made him freeze on the spot, a chill came over him, and his whole body became ice-cold.
"So, there is indeed a real demon in Chang'an City. If the young monk guessed correctly, it should be Gao Wuji, who has been the eunuch for sixty years and is regarded by you as your ancestor."
A picture flashed in Zhou Yi's mind.
It was the scene inside and outside the palace that he captured when he used the loophole of Ziwei Qi for a moment and entered Chang'an City with his sword.
Although there were many people with advanced cultivation in the palace, only three people caught Zhou Yi's attention.
He Zhenren's younger brother, Ye Tianshi was the most talented among the seven Tianshis at that time.
Hidden deep in the palace, the mysterious female crown appears like a fairy, and is suspected to be the Fairy Taiping, who is tied for first place on the most popular list.
There was another person, the old eunuch who almost never left home.
The small black characters showed that Gao Wuji had entered the palace a year ago and had gone through the changes in the palace, but he had always stood firm. Although his rank was not high, in the harem, from the head guard to the maids and chambermaids, everyone
Have great respect for him.
Although Zhou Yi vaguely noticed that there was something wrong with this person's aura, he did not think deeply about it. With the purple aura guarding the palace, evil spirits could not invade at all.
It was only today, after meeting the demonic Gao Quanzhong, that Zhou Yi was sure that his previous feeling was correct and that Gao Wuji was one of the three true demons in the world.
And it is most likely the strongest one.
As for how this big devil sneaked into the palace... Since he could use his clone to lure away Ziwei's energy, Gao Wuji would also have similar means.
Gao Quanzhong looked at Zhou Yi with horror and horror: "You...how do you know? Who are you!"
"Amitabha, I am just a monk."
Zhou Yi chanted the Buddha's name, and a circle of golden light fell from the sky, covering Gao Quanzhong. His physical body began to collapse, and the skin, bones, and internal organs that had been penetrated by the demonic energy quickly melted in the golden light.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Quanzhong had been refined and his soul was gone.
Where he disappeared, a black whirlpool floated. Hidden in the whirlpool was a terrifying strange eye, looking out at the outside world.
Wow!
A strong, pure and extremely pure demonic energy suddenly emerged, with the force of thunder, covering the darkness like eternal night, and shot towards Zhou Yi.
"Are you so impatient?"
Zhou Yi's closed palms flew with ten fingers, pinched the Zhi Fist Seal, and the health-preserving power turned into the formless and formless Buddhist golden light, facing the demonic energy.
boom!
The Buddha's light and the demonic energy collided together, like a dragon and a tiger fighting, and like a giant swirling current. They separated at the first touch, and both sides collapsed backwards.
Zhou Yi did not use the Buddhist sword energy.
The demonic energy released by the real demon also disappeared in an instant, leaving no chance for Zhou Yi to pursue him along the way.
Ding...the copper bell rings, which means it will transform the meaning of the law and cover up the secrets of heaven.
But its sound is no longer as clear as before. It is obvious that the opponent's cultivation is far beyond any opponent Zhou Yi has encountered before. Even if he tried his best, he could only barely cover it up.
"You are worthy of being an innate demon. When Buddhism collapsed, what role did you play in it?"
Zhou Yi put away his Zhi Fist Seal and murmured in a low voice.
He turned his palm over and looked at the lost luster of the Buddhist copper bell.
This covering of the heavenly secret has exhausted all its spiritual power.
The first true demon, including the secrets that were previously concealed, will naturally not be leaked.
But from now on, whenever he encounters anyone who is hostile to himself and Buddhism, this Buddhist bell will no longer be able to hide his secrets.
Unless the green smoke is leaked again and refined to improve it.
However, Zhou Yi did not intend to do this.
"The Buddhist sect of the young monk must eventually stand upright and upright in the land of China.
In the past days, thanks to your protection, now your merits have been fulfilled.
Go and protect your former master and tell him that given time, the young monk will personally pick him up."
As he spoke, Zhou Yi stretched out his finger, a flash of light appeared on his fingertip, and he clicked on the copper bell.
A whirlpool opened in the air.
As if the bell understood, it shook Zhou Yi twice, as if saying goodbye.
Then it floated upwards, turned around and flew into the whirlpool, disappearing into the bizarre trajectory of the world.
In an unknown corner of the world, the former Master Daming, now a little baby, turned over, and the copper bell tied to his wrist made a crisp tinkling sound.
The image of light and shadow is fleeting.
Zhou Yi withdrew his gaze.
He has rebuilt the underworld, and it is only a matter of time before he finds the reincarnation of Daming.
Then the next step is to rebuild Buddhism.
Compared with rebuilding the underworld, rebuilding Buddhism is obviously more difficult. The right time, place and people, including external opportunities, are all indispensable.
He came to Lingnan to seek opportunities.
In a corner of the camp, Xu Liang, the former manager of the Xu Mansion and now the army staff, was as angry as a thread and in danger.
Zhou Yi encouraged Monk Ye Fu to treat him.
"Master!"
There was an excited voice in my ears.
Wei Xiaochang's eyes were red, and he bowed his head.
"Long time no see, I miss you so much!"
Zhou Yi: "Didn't we just meet you and me a few years ago? Get up, don't kneel down, show me to someone."
Wei Xiaochang quickly got up, scratched his head and said: "Disciple knows that Mr. Ye is indeed the master's transformation, hehe."
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly, but he was quite satisfied with the growth of Wei Xiaochang.
Only half a year has passed, and he has already become a general, and may one day become a general.
Xue Yuanshan also rubbed his buttocks and climbed up, looked at Zhou Yi complicatedly, and then bowed deeply: "Thank you, holy monk, for saving me again, I'll..."
Zhou Yi interrupted: "Okay, are you ready for the money you owe Xiao Monk?"
Xue Yuanshan smiled bitterly and said: "Holy Monk, you also know that the new emperor has just ascended the throne and everything is still undecided. I have not yet found enough time to prepare for the construction of the temple."
Zhou Yi took a deep look at him and said with a smile: "There's no rush. The agreement was that when the southern Buddhist temple is established and the incense begins to burn, you can make preparations. However, it shouldn't be too far away."
Xue Yuanshan's face changed, and he whispered: "But Holy Monk, His Majesty has changed now... Even if I can return to Beijing this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to regain trust."
Zhou Yi chuckled softly: "Is it because Gao Quanzhong died and Jiedushi Xu Zhiling was not only safe but also about to successfully regain the Lingnan counties?"
Xue Yuanshan was startled, with a complicated look on his face, while Zhou Yi turned to look at Xu Zhiling.
Xu Zhiling's eyes were filled with emotion and he bowed deeply to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi clasped his palms together and saluted, but also said nothing.
it is more than words.
Xu Zhiling raised his head and said with a sigh: "This box of elm leaves from the holy monk has saved someone countless times. In the past, Xu Mansion, I only acted as a landlord, but I didn't expect such good fortune to happen."
Zhou Yi smiled: "Erlang's words are serious. The young monk came here today not only to kill this devil, but also to save your more than 200,000 Lingnan Tang troops."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiling, Xue Yuanshan, and Wei Xiaochang's expressions all changed.
Xu Zhiling and Xue Yuanshan were silent, but Wei Xiaochang couldn't help but asked cautiously: "I wonder what Master said? Although there were some obstacles in the siege of Panlong Valley, the rebels only had their last breath. As long as they surrounded them again,
In ten days and a half, they will surely collapse. Why would the two hundred thousand Lingnan Army be in danger? Could it be that... they have reinforcements?"
Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "Yes, they have reinforcements and they have already arrived."
Zhou Yidao: "Because their 'reinforcements' are not humans, but monsters. I think Erlang has already guessed something."
Xu Zhiling's face didn't show much surprise, and he sighed softly: "That's true, but why are those monsters like this?"
"Maybe you want to continue to maintain the chaos in Lingnan, or maybe... there are other reasons."
Zhou Yi paused and said: "In short, you need to break camp and retreat overnight, and exit Panlong Valley. It is best to retreat to the south of Qiling Pass."
Several people looked at the map subconsciously, with strange expressions on their faces.
Xu Zhiling smiled bitterly and said: "Exiting Panlong Valley means letting the tiger return to the mountains. If we retreat to the outside of Qianling Pass, once the remaining rebels join forces and form an alliance, all the previous achievements will be wasted. Even the soldiers can't guarantee that they will not have second thoughts.
"
Zhou Yidao: "Does Erlang trust me?"
Xu Zhiling nodded: "Of course I believe it."
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Then order the troops to retreat overnight. If you retreat a moment earlier, you will be less dangerous. As for Xue Shangshu, when the overall situation in Lingnan is decided, you can return to Chang'an City safely. I promise that the new emperor will only trust you."
Increases rather than decreases.”
After saying this, Zhou Yi said goodbye to everyone and walked out of the tent.
"Master..."
Just as Wei Xiaochang was about to catch up, an orange figure jumped up in the night and landed on Zhou Yi's shoulder. It was a raccoon slave who sneered at everyone with his eyes narrowed.
"Meow!"
Wei Xiaochang felt his head buzzing and subconsciously stopped.
When he tried to chase him again, the snow-white monk's robe had disappeared outside the camp.
Xu Zhiling sighed softly in his ears, "Stop chasing her. If we are truly destined, we will meet again."
"Xue Shangshu, withdraw your troops?"
"Withdraw, withdraw overnight!"
After three sticks of incense, the 200,000-strong army had broken out of camp, geared up, and evacuated Panlong Valley.
Although the soldiers were surprised, they could only obey the military orders.
As for the more than ten generals, they thought that the war situation had changed and that the Jiedushi Master had another clever plan to defeat the enemy. They were all gearing up, full of momentum, and secretly looking forward to it.
But soon, they realized something was wrong. The army was moving farther and farther, and seemed to be heading towards Qiling Pass.
Once they reach Qiling Pass, they will completely leave the front line, and the good situation they have managed in the past half year will no longer exist.
"What happened to Master Jiedushi?"
"This doesn't look like an order from Master Jieduzhi at all."
"Could it be Fatty Xue and those servants who are causing trouble?"
"Let's go! Go to the Central Military Vehicle Tent and ask Lord Jiedushi for a clear explanation!"
"I have suspected before that Lord Jiedushi was harmed by Fatty Xue and Gao Quanzhong!"
The generals galloped their horses and whips, and stormed into the central army menacingly.
"Where is Master Jieduzhi?"
"Fat Xue! Gao Quanzhong! You two, get out!"
"Don't panic, Lord Jiedushi. The humble ministers are here to rescue you!"
The generals broke through the guards who tried to block them and came to the Chinese army's chariot tent. Before they could rush in, the tent curtains had been lifted.
In the chariot tent, Xu Zhiling, the Lingnan Jiedushi who also serves as the governor of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and Zuopu Shexue Yuanshan, the supervisor of the army, were sitting opposite each other, burning incense and drinking tea, talking and laughing, and sweating.
Behind Xu Zhiling, Wei Xiaochang, the most brave in the army, stood with a sword in his hand and stared at him.
All the generals were stunned.
One of the leading pioneer officers looked stunned: "Master Jiedushi, are you okay?"
Xu Zhiling twirled his fingers, raised his head, and said calmly: "What can happen to me? On the other hand, you guys are shouting and trespassing on the Chinese army. How can you behave like this!"
The pioneer officer smiled bitterly: "We thought that Lord Jiedushi was... killed, and we hope that you will forgive me. May I ask, Lord, why did you order the withdrawal of troops? And also to withdraw to Qiling Pass?"
Xu Zhiling said calmly: "It's about military aircraft, you don't need to know."
The pioneer officer scratched his head: "But sir, it is only a matter of time before Panlong Valley is breached. If we withdraw our troops at this time, wouldn't we be throwing the easily obtained military exploits into the water?"
"Grand Governor, we braved the rain to besiege Panlong Valley. We are about to succeed, but we can't let all our efforts go to waste."
"The soldiers in the army have been dissatisfied before. If this continues, I will eventually worry that... the soldiers will mutiny."
“I beg the Governor to think twice!”
"May I ask what good advice Master Jiedushi has?"
Listening to what the generals said to each other, Xu Zhiling's face gradually turned cold.
Snapped!
He slapped the chessboard down with one palm and shouted coldly: "Do you want to mutiny?"
Xue Yuanshan also raised his head at this time and sneered: "Your Majesty gave the tiger talisman to the Jiedushi Master. The officers and men obey the orders. Are you doing this nonsense, but you want to deceive the emperor and rebel?"
The faces of all the generals changed greatly, and they all said they did not dare. Although they were unwilling to do so, they all retreated one after another.
In the military tent, Xu Zhiling frowned and said in a low voice: "The generals have been fighting all year round, and they are not easy to fool. Sooner or later, the secret will be exposed, and I am afraid there will be a mutiny. I don't know what medicine Monk Yichen sold in the gourd.
?”
Xue Yuanshan sighed: "Brother Xu, please be at ease. The holy monk came here overnight to teach us how to retreat. He will not harm us."
Wei Xiaochang also said: "Yes, my master has great supernatural powers and can know the past and the future. He must have calculated something to make Lang Jun retreat."
"Of course I believe in the holy monk."
Xu Zhiling's brows relaxed slightly: "But the generals can only hide it for a day."
…
Outside Panlong Valley, Zhou Yi did not leave.
He asked Xu Zhiling to withdraw his troops only because he had just received a message from Lord Pingjiang.
The long-awaited battle between Lingnan dragons and apes will begin in three days.
At that time, the earth was shattering and the mountains and rivers were moving. If the 200,000 troops did not escape to a safe area in time, they might not survive.
Suddenly, at this moment, a cold air came from the Panlong Valley, vaguely mixed with dragon roars and wind howls.
"Monk Wu, the 200,000 Tang troops retreated. Could it be you who caused the retreat?"
