Chapter 21: Controlling Tong Guan

This time, the Quanzhen Sect only sent three disciples to go north with Lu Yi. The three disciples were Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu, and Wang Chuyi. Wang Chongyang wanted to take charge of the Quanzhen Sect, but he could not leave the Quanzhen Sect easily.

Originally, many disciples of the Quanzhen Sect wanted to go north to fight against Liao, but Lu Yi knew that the situation was chaotic in the battle between Song and Liao, and it was difficult for the Song Dynasty to make contributions. No matter how many disciples the Quanzhen Sect sent, it was useless, so he only brought three disciples north.

For the current Quanzhen Sect, it is important for disciples to work hard to cultivate and gradually increase their sect background. The three disciples led by Lu Yi are all talented and worthy of training.

Especially among all the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, Naqiu Chuji is not only the best in martial arts, but also has a very deep study of Taoism. It is not difficult to train hard and inherit the Taoist tradition of the Quanzhen Sect.

The Quanzhen Sect went north all the way, and twenty days had passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiongzhou was already far away. Xiongzhou was a city at the junction of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. If you go there, you will enter the border of the Liao Kingdom.

At this time, many martial arts people had already come to Xiongzhou City. These martial arts people were either long-known martial arts masters or disciples of famous sects. As for some idle warriors, they had already sneaked into the territory of the Great Liao.

Xiongzhou City is a military city that has always been responsible for resisting the invasion of the Liao Dynasty. At this time, Xiongzhou City was already full of war, and soldiers with neat military appearance could be seen everywhere. It was obvious that the Song Dynasty was ready to send troops.

Ten days later, Zhuge Shenhou of the Shenhou Mansion appeared and invited major sects to gather with many famous masters, and jointly formulated a strategy to fight against the Great Liao martial arts world.

"The news of this war has been spread for a long time, and it is impossible to hide it. The Great Liao is probably ready for a long time, but it is difficult for us to act in secret!" When the heroes gathered, Zen Master Jingneng from Shaolin Temple took the lead in speaking.

"I went deep into the Great Liao and found that the Great Liao had martial law in all directions. It was really difficult to kill local generals secretly!" Hong Qi, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, told what he knew.

"It's okay! Since the news has been heard, we might as well make an appointment to fight the Liao martial arts world openly. The focus of this national war is still on the battlefield. If we can defeat the Liao martial arts world, the soldiers will definitely be very motivated!" Zhuge Shenhou pondered for a moment and expressed his thoughts.

Many martial arts people pondered for a moment and all agreed with Zhuge Shenhou’s statement. After all, this war is a national war. Although martial arts people can contribute, the real decision on the victory or defeat is on the battlefield. However, martial arts people are only relatively powerful. When they arrive on the battlefield, facing thousands of troops, no matter how powerful their personal force is, it will not be of much use.

"The national teacher of Liao Kingdom, Xiao Wansheng, has unfathomable strength. Among the Liao Kingdom, there are even masters from the Western Region Demon Sect who are mixed up, but you should not be careless!" Zhuge Shenhou discussed with everyone and analyzed the many masters of Liao Kingdom one by one. Among them, the most important ones need to be paid attention to are undoubtedly the national teacher of Liao Kingdom and the people from the Western Region Demon Sect.

Zhuge Shenhou pondered for a moment and said, "Although Xiao Wansheng is extremely skilled in martial arts, he has not reached the peak. I can stop this person. It is just that Yang Baitian Gong, the leader of the Western Region Demon Sect, is involved in the fortune. It is very human to fight against it. There are many masters in the Demon Sect. Everyone must be careful and not be careless!"

"The Western Region Demon Sect has always been hidden in the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia Kingdom. This time the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom are in a battle of great power, and the Demon Sect will definitely take action. However, we have many masters this time, and the Western Region Demon Sect will not take action. If it takes action, it will definitely be impossible to come and go!" The head of the Huashan Sect and the Western Region Demon Sect have long had a deep hatred and wished to kill the Demon Sect.

After discussion, the mission was gradually assigned. Most of the Central Plains masters will fight to the death with the Liao masters, hoping to achieve results before the war begins and boost morale. However, some masters are assigned to generals at all levels in the army to guard against the assassination of Liao masters.

Originally, the Quanzhen Sect should have fought to the death with the Liao masters together with most martial arts masters, but at Lu Yi's request, the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect were eventually sent to protect the generals of the Song Dynasty.

This time, the martial arts masters in the Central Plains gathered together and fought against the Liao masters. There are a high probability that they will win. There will be many masters in charge, so there will be no danger. Protecting generals is different. Not only will they face assassination of various masters, it is also a chore in itself, and no one is willing to do it.

The reason why Lu Yi was like this was naturally because he knew that this time the Song Dynasty was invincible to win the battle against Liao, so even if there were many achievements in the Central Plains martial arts world, it would be useless. Now the Liao Kingdom is in turmoil, and Lu Yi's many plans must be started quickly, and this will fall on the commander of the army.

He brought the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect to the army. This time, the Song Dynasty attacked Liao, and the commander was Tong Guan, and the two armies under him were commanded by Grandmaster Dao and Xin Qingzong. The responsibility of Lu Yi and Quanzhen Sect disciples was to protect Tong Guan and guard against the assassination of the Liao masters.

Tong Guan is the commander of the army and has a great responsibility. It is logical that it should be protected by the Shenhou Mansion. However, thanks to Lu Yi's innate realm and the battle in Shaolin Temple, Lu Yi is now well-known in the world. Under Lu Yi's request, the important task of protecting Tong Guan fell on Lu Yi.

When they arrived in the army, Lu Yi and others did not see Tong Guan immediately. Lu Yi was secretly paying attention to the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. When they saw it, Lu Yi couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Although the soldiers of the Song Dynasty had good morale, their equipment was too poor, and their training was even more perfunctory. At first glance, they were not an elite army.

"No wonder Tong Guan was defeated this time. It would be strange if the army with such combat power could win!" Lu Yi couldn't see it. The Song Dynasty was a strange thing in all dynasties. It would be fine if civil officials commanded the army, but they didn't have much ability and didn't know how to train sergeants at all. Rather than saying that this is an army, it's better to say that the peasants holding weapons.

After waiting for three days, Lu Yi saw Tong Guan who was late. Lu Yi brought the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect to visit. Tong Guan's attitude was not bad. After all, Lu Yi and others protected Tong Guan, but they only took Lu Yi and others to look down on him, but they didn't. They just said a few words indifferently and asked Lu Yi and others to retreat.

"Although Tong Guan is not very capable, he is deeply trusted by Huizong and is able to command the army, but he is not a fool!" Through a few words, Lu Yi already had a basic understanding of Tong Guan. This person is not stupid, and he is extremely smart, otherwise he would not be a high-ranking minister. But only by looking at Tong Guan's arrangements in the army, this person has no military talent.

For ten consecutive days, Lu Yi was guarding Tong Guan's account, and the people in the army were gradually familiar with the existence of Quanzhen Sect and others. After Lu Yi showed his martial arts skills, Tong Guan's attitude towards Lu Yi improved a lot. Tong Guan also had some martial arts people under Tong Guan, but none of them had reached the innate realm.

That night, Lu Yi asked the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect to go back and rest first, and guard Tong Guan himself. In the army, Tong Guan did not dare to be too presumptuous. He studied military strategies every day, but he did a lot of things. As for whether it was useful, only Tong Guan himself knew.

"What's the important thing about Taoist Master Lu?" Tong Guan couldn't help but ask.

"I think Lord Tong is working hard for the country these days, and his body is probably damaged. Most of our Taoists have methods to calm the mind and keep healthy. I wonder if Lord Tong wants to give it a try?" Lu Yi said freely.

"Oh? It turns out that Master Lu has this secret technique. Try it out quickly. I am old and I can't stand it after being in the army for a long time!" Tong Guan agreed quickly without doubting him.

During this period, some methods will always be revealed inadvertently. Whether it is to cure diseases and save people, or to paint Taoist talismans to save disasters, Lu Yi has made a complete move, and Taoist mantras often appear in the language. Now in Tong Guan’s army, no one knows that Lu Yi is a Taoist master with real skills, so it is natural for Tong Guan to have this attitude.

"Sister Tong, sit down!" Lu Yi asked Tong Guan to sit down. The innate true energy slowly penetrated Tong Guan's whole body, gradually nourishing Tong Guan's already old body. Under the nourishment of the innate true energy, Tong Guan's expression was peaceful and his body was relaxed, and he couldn't help but moan comfortably.

At this moment, a divine light flashed across Lu Yi's eyes, Tong Guanzhi heard that his thinking was in a chaotic place, and a voice kept ringing in his mind. Tong Guan's eyes gradually fell into dullness, and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

The innate true energy was slowly withdrawn, and Lu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was obvious that Lu Yi consumed a lot just now. Naturally, Lu Yi was not spending his time recuperating Tong Guan, but used this as an excuse to perform a martial art called "Soul-Seeing and Soul-Snatching".

This exercise was learned by Lu Yi from the "Nine Yin Jing". This exercise is extremely rare. It is a technique that affects others' minds and spirits. After Lu Yi obtained this exercise, he carefully studied it and cooperated with his own bloodline to increase the power of this exercise, and thus had the effect of controlling others' minds and spirits. However, this exercise is also extremely limited.

First of all, the caster's own cultivation must be deep enough. The caster needs no resistance when he is again, and it also takes a long time to perform this method to gradually control a person's mind. Moreover, with Lu Yi's current ability, he can only control one person at most with this skill. If he has too much loss of mind, he will be powerless to continue.

Lu Yi's previous arrangements were to win Tong Guan's trust and let him relax his vigilance. Fortunately, he controlled Tong Guan without knowing it. This time, he found an opportunity, Lu Yi used the method of snatching the soul and initially controlled Tong Guan's mind.

In the following days, Lu Yi successively used the method of soul-catching and soul-catching, gradually controlling Tong Guan's mind. During this period, not to mention others, even Tong Guan himself did not notice anything unusual. Tong Guan still praised Lu Yi in front of others, saying that every time he was recuperated by Lu Yi, he would be more energetic the next day.

Half a month later, after Lu Yi used his last soul-sucking spirit, Tong Guan did not fall asleep again. Tong Guan knelt in front of Lu Yi on one knee, with his expression undoubtedly as ordinary people, and said respectfully: "Master!"

"You keep your usual appearance and don't reveal our relationship!" Lu Yi smiled and worked hard for half a month, but now he has finally succeeded.

"Yes! Master!" Tong Guan's appearance is no different from before, but under the influence of soul-catching and soul-catching, he obeyed Lu Yiyan and would not have any intention of disobeying him.
