Taichu Palace.
Ji Liuli walked into the familiar courtyard and looked around.
She actually didn't leave here for long, but these few months seemed like years had passed. Too many things had happened during this period, and just the continuous battles made people tired without realizing it.
The young Taoist was not sitting in the courtyard, nor was he meditating on the cloud bed. He was standing on the edge of the cliff, looking to the north, silently calculating something.
The relaxation in the small courtyard was no longer the same as before, but was replaced by an inexplicable depression that made it difficult to breathe.
It wasn't until Ji Liuli walked behind him that the young Taoist-looking Master Yanshi turned around and said, "You're back."
Ji Liuli said: "Disciple should have returned, but... I want to postpone it for a while."
"Oh? Now is the time for your return and breakthrough. Why did you change your mind?"
Ji Liuli said: "I have gained some insights recently and feel that Dao Ji can go further, so I want to stay in the Western Region for a while."
"Why the Western Region?" True Lord Yanshi frowned slightly.
"Disciples have the opportunity to become enlightened in the Western Regions, and the foundation of Taoism should also be perfected in the Western Regions."
True Lord Yanshi returned to the small courtyard and sat down in the courtyard. In these few steps, the world in the entire small courtyard seemed to have completely changed, completely different from when Ji Liuli first entered.
True Lord Yanshi said slowly: "Your Tao is basically close to the Great Way of Heaven and Earth. It has many wonderful functions and supreme power. After years of polishing, your power has reached a higher level. But because of this, the difficulty of your attainment of the Dharma Appearance also varies.
It rises. Every time you add one more magical effect and one more point of power, it will become more and more difficult to achieve the Dharma. The saying that too much is not enough, I am afraid I am talking about you now."
"Disciple knows."
Zhenjun Yanshi nodded and said: "It's good that you know. What magical effects have you realized this time? Let me see."
Ji Liuli released the Nine-story Demon Suppressing Tower. At this time, the small tower was faintly transparent, like a glass treasure, giving people a particularly lively and agile feeling. If you get closer, your mind will be clear and your thoughts will speed up.
Ji Liuli said: "In the Western Region, I used the Demon Suppressing Tower to simulate the physical properties of heaven and earth, and deduce changes, adding exquisite meaning. I plan to make more deductions and continue to strengthen the function in this area. Eventually, I should be able to deduce thousands of things at the same time.
When physical properties change, you can prove the exquisite way. When the Dharma appears, you can achieve the nine-level exquisite pagoda that suppresses demons."
"The exquisite way is no trivial matter. If you do this, the difficulty of achieving the Dharma will be doubled. Have you thought about it clearly?"
"Don't worry, my disciple is incomparable and I can afford this."
"Having said that, you still have to stay with Wei Yuan as little as possible. If you must stay, then come back from time to time."
"Why is this?"
True Lord Yanshi picked up a handful of white sand from the flower pond and sprinkled it from the palm of his hand.
The white sand gathered into a mountain peak in the air, surrounded by bottomless darkness. Grains of sand kept sliding off the peak and falling into the dark abyss. New grains of sand were constantly being formed on the top, which was very strange.
Yanshi Zhenjun said: "This mountain peak is like Wei Yuan now. For some unknown reason, his real luck is getting higher and higher, and these are beyond the ability of ordinary people to detect. And it is like this around him.
The area around this mountain peak has become a valley of destiny. Even his closest relatives are like grains of sand on the mountain peak. Even if they do not fall for a while, they cannot stay on the mountain peak for a long time and will inevitably fall into the abyss as time goes by.
If you stay by his side all the time, you won't feel the impact, but a big accident might happen when you prepare to be promoted to Dharma. And most of my thoughts are on the north now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you in time. So you have to come back from time to time.
Cleanse negative luck.”
"Disciples will be careful themselves."
True Lord Yanshi nodded and said, "Then go."
Ji Liuli was about to leave, but was still a little worried and asked: "Is it important in the north?"
"The contemporary Imperial Master of Northern Liao wants to cut off my luck in the Northern Mountain Gate, but how can I let him do it? I have done it twice in a row some time ago, and maybe there will be a third one soon."
There was a sense of ease and strong confidence in Zhenjun Yanshi's voice, and Ji Liuliu's mood improved accordingly, so he said goodbye and left.
Western Jin Dynasty, Autumn Hunting Ground.
It was already dark, and under the guidance of his internal officers, Wei Yuan found the camp of his cavalry and met up with the knights.
He came to the Chinese army camp and spread out the map on the table. The map was only given to Wei Yuan in the morning. It has the starting position of Wei Yuan's troops on it. In addition, there is a small sword on each of the three central peaks.
mark.
There are secret treasures buried in these three small swords, one contains fairy silver, one is the seal of the lack of a fourth-grade official position, and the other is a treasure vase, which contains a little bit of the national fortune of the Western Jin Dynasty. Although the national fortune is not much, it is enough to provide
A person is blessed with three feet of luck. If this person only has seven feet of luck, then after receiving this national luck, he will break through one foot and become the son of luck.
These three secrets are quite attractive even to Jiedu envoys such as Xu Tongshou and Fan Wenbai. They can create a powerful subordinate out of thin air, or make a junior in the family who can only be said to be relatively outstanding step into a genius in one step.
among the list.
However, compared with the luck in the vase and the luck of the country that is rewarded after sweeping the hunt, it is completely insignificant and not worth mentioning.
There are nine forces participating in the hunt this time. Each party is limited to 500 troops, with no restrictions on types of troops and no restrictions on equipment. Except for Wei Yuan's own position on the map, the positions of the other parties are unknown.
Participating in the hunt were three princes, three Jiedu envoys including Wei Yuan, the troops of King Cheng of Ying, and a border army in the north. Basically all the powerful figures in the Western Jin Dynasty were here.
The targets of the hunt were more than 10,000 Liao people, most of whom were young men and women captured from the tribe, and some were prisoners of war. They were scattered in the vast mountainous areas, and at the same time, multiple weapons and supplies were buried in the mountains.
In the secret vault, which Liao people find what depends entirely on God's will.
At this time, Wei Yuan looked at the map and immediately eliminated the three marked secret vaults. This time, he was hunting for the bottom, so it was naturally impossible to grab the secret vault.
The position assigned to Wei Yuan is in the middle of the north, dozens of miles south of where a secret warehouse is located. This position is simply cheating. As long as Wei Yuan attacks with all his strength, it will be difficult for other parties to rush to the secret warehouse ahead of Wei Yuan.
However, Wei Yuan was considering going west or east, not south. He felt that the current position was still too close to the center, and it was inevitable that some troops would pass by, so he had to move to the edge.
But Wei Yuan couldn't run too far, at least he had to give King Jin some face and show off, so he planned to choose a hilltop to garrison, wait for the rabbit, and harvest whoever came to his door.
After glancing at the map, Wei Yuan saw a small river in the northwest corner and a hill beside the river. It could be advanced, attacked, retreated or defended, making it an ideal camp.
This place was so good, so naturally we had to stay away. So Wei Yuan decided to go east. There was a bald mountain in the east. It looked like it was something that grandpa didn’t care about and grandma didn’t love. It was just a good place to sleep peacefully for a few days and survive the hunting.
.
As the sky grew brighter and the horns sounded continuously, Wei Yuan led his team out of camp and headed straight to the selected hilltop, where the hunting officially began.
What Wei Yuan brought this time were all mounts obtained from the Xu family's private army. They were all tall horses, which were one level better than the mounts of the regular cavalry army of the Western Jin Dynasty. Although they were marching in undulating mountainous areas, they were already ready within an hour.
After running for more than a hundred miles, we arrived at the designated area.
He only encountered a few scattered groups of Liao people along the way. Wei Yuan did not waste time on them, accelerated his march, and finally climbed to the top of this hill.
This mountain is not high, only a few dozen feet, but it is the only mountain top within a radius of twenty miles.
Wei Yuan was very satisfied after seeing it and said: "Mountain the mountain, set up camp, and build the fortifications to store the horses first!"
The knights rode up the mountain, dismounted immediately, found a depression on the top of the mountain as a fortification for the horses, and gathered the horses together. Wei Yuan appeared with a large number of flat cauldrons and sent them down. They said they were flat cauldrons, but in fact they were flat cauldrons.
The shovel is less than a finger thick and has a sharp outer edge.
Regardless of its shape, this thing has the true meaning of a tripod inside, so it is a tripod.
Wei Yuan's rivers and mountains are now silent, and the things that appear are no longer magical at all, so they can only be used as shovels. But at least there is no need for the soldiers to carry another tool.
The five hundred knights immediately dug hard, and the trenches extended rapidly at an incredible speed. Within an hour, the top of the mountain was dug into pits, with ditches and pits everywhere.
Wei Yuan looked at the weather and felt that there might be heavy rain tonight, so he made several large cauldrons and placed them in the center of the position to catch the rainwater. There was no water source on the top of the mountain, and hunting regulations prohibited bringing food and water, so he could only
Search for pre-hidden food in the hunting grounds.
However, this one has no impact on Wei Yuan. The five hundred knights he brought are all Daoji monks. After one meal, they can go without food for seven or eight days, but they still need to drink water.
If they are in the casting stage, they will eat more and be very intolerant of hunger. Therefore, the elite troops of the human race pay special attention to food, and there are many cases in history where they were defeated due to lack of food.
Hunting does not take place in a day or two, it may last three or five days, so water must be prepared first. Wei Yuan's spiritual consciousness scanned the surrounding area and found no supplies within ten miles, so he did not waste any effort in searching.
Seeing that the fortifications on the top of the mountain were gradually taking shape, the knights opened their backpacks, took out steel pipe guns and ammunition wrapped in oil paper, and placed them on the position. According to Xu Wenwu, it was best to place several layers of barbed wire and mines in front of the position.
However, Wei Yuan felt that these two things were quite useful and there was no need to show them in front of the King of Jin now. When there was a conflict in the future, they could be used to surprise the Jin army.
Now the knights are quite skilled in building positions, and the realm armies know from top to bottom that in order to fight, they must dig the ground first. Monk Daoji is good at digging, and one shovel will yield hundreds of kilograms of soil. If it hadn't been for Yue Jinshan's cavalry last time.
It was too fast. If Wei Yuan was given half a day to dig three trenches, even 300 casualties could be avoided.
Wei Yuan inspected it back and forth, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. Even he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Wei Yuan said while watching: "Very good! Let's work harder. Once the position is dug, we can set up tents and rest. We won't go anywhere these days, we will just stay here and try not to cause any casualties. After the autumn
Let’s go home... eh??”
Wei Yuan suddenly saw an army appearing more than ten miles away, walking sideways in front of Wei Yuan, apparently intending to penetrate into one of the three secret vaults to snatch the reward.
When he saw the flag of that army, Wei Yuan's face instantly turned murderous. It was the army of Lu Wenbai, the military commander of Yunxiang!
Wei Yuan turned around and said: "Copycat, mount your horse, let's cover up from behind and destroy that army! Kill the resisters on the spot, don't show mercy!"
Wei Yuan pulled out the green colt and got on his horse. The internal officers accompanying the army quickly hugged Wei Yuan's legs and said repeatedly: "Master Wei, think twice, killing each other will make you lose your reputation! Sir, the overall situation is the most important thing.
ah!"
Wei Yuan kicked him away and said: "Fuck grandma's big picture, I always seek personal revenge first!"
Chapter completed!
