The Shaowu did not lift the siege of Zheng Shiguo. They mobilized elite field troops from the capital to replace the defense, but the number was less than half of the original army. Such an army was enough to block and guard, but he wanted to attack Zheng Shiguo by force.
But it's impossible, and the coach is no longer Yue Xuan, the former general of the Xiangshi Kingdom, but replaced by the unknown Lingbao.
It is said that Lingbao came from a humble background, and was only promoted and reused by Ba Jun because he got into the relationship with Master Peng Keng and became his disciple. Some well-informed people who are familiar with the affairs of the prime minister's court said,
Because Mr. Peng Keng's contribution has been too great, the young minister has almost no reward for him, so he re-employs his disciples to show his special favor.
Zheng Shiguo finally breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere in the court was no longer so tense, but he did not relax his vigilance because of this. He was still paying attention to the dynamics of all parties in Ba Yuan. Peng Keng and Xuanyuan controlled the Biyi flying boat to migrate.
The people of the world should have no time to care about him; Shrike and Changling often come in and out of the capital of Bashi, and there seems to be no unusual movement.
In recent decades, the celebrants of Zheng Shiguo's national sacrifice ceremonies have all been Mr. Yingzhu. He is even more like the officiant than the king. In important sacrificial ceremonies, everyone's identity is very important, which represents the communication between all people and heaven.
Occasions can add invisible sacred authority in the minds of the people.
Zheng Shiguo has also restored its academy in recent years, but the master of ceremony at the national sacrifice ceremony is still Mr. Yingzhu, and no one can replace his position. The academy of Bashiguo was established in Chengli, and it was Zheng Junhongzhu who was in Baichuan City.
He is also a disciple of Yingzhuling, and served as Mr. Yingzhu's assistant at the national memorial ceremony.
In recent years, on the day after the national sacrifice ceremony, Yingzhu would fly directly from Guishu City, the current capital of Zheng Shiguo, back to Bujin Mountain Dojo. From Guishu City to Bujinshan Dojo, ordinary people would have to trek hard or even be unable to reach it on foot.
Even Mr. Yingzhu's accompanying disciples would have to walk for more than half a day relying on magical powers.
But if the magical weapon flies through the sky, the straight-line distance is actually not too far. It took Mr. Yingzhu more than an hour to go back. He has a noble status and great magical powers. Of course, he will not spend half a day walking back to the mountain like other disciples.
So within an hour or so, I happened to be alone.
Mr. Yingzhu may have left the sect dojo alone many times. However, outsiders cannot accurately grasp his whereabouts. Therefore, if you want to capture Mr. Yingzhu in a surprise attack, the only chance you can seize is more than one hour every year. And just now, Mr. Yingzhu
When leaving Guishu City and when you are about to arrive at the Bujin Mountain Dojo, it is not suitable to take action. The really suitable time is no more than a meal.
…
Although the Bashi Kingdom's army besieged the remaining territory of Zhengshi Kingdom, it did not completely block it, nor did it completely cut off its contact with the outside world. The army only cut off the east, north, and west roads, while the south side was separated from the wild groups.
Bordered by mountains.
The so-called Yingzhuling. From the place name, it is actually a remnant of the Nanhuang Mountains extending into Bayuan. The Yingzhuling Taoist Temple is in the mountains, and Guishu City is located at the end of this mountain range, with its east, south and west
There is a city outline on each of the three sides, forming the current ruins of the Zheng family.
Yingzhuling was a small and unknown sect a hundred years ago. It was called Zhushan Sect at that time because the foot of the mountain where the monastery is located was densely covered with various bamboos.
Mr. Yingzhu was the first accomplished monk in the Zhushan sect and the one who revitalized the sect. After he became the sect leader, the Zhushan sect changed its name to Yingzhuling after the entire mountain range, and his sect leader was also known as Mr. Yingzhu.
As for Mr. Yingzhu's original name, no one seems to remember it, and even those who know it won't call him that anymore.
The history of Yingzhu Ridge is like this. The mountain-suppressing whip was also acquired by Mr. Yingzhu by chance. It is unknown which ancient immortal family left it. Together with the inheritance of the divine soul brand, it has now fallen into the hands of Mr. Yingzhu.
Mr. Yingzhu is over ninety years old this year, but he still looks like a middle-aged man. In his mind, although Yingzhuling cannot be compared with Chiwangqiu, Wufuqiu, and Mengyingqiu, it is no longer there.
It is under the major sects such as Bujin Mountain, Guxiongchuan, Zhongshou Mountain, Lianzhi Peak, and Dazu Mountain, and will become more prosperous sooner or later.
Today, Mr. Yingzhu can be said to have taken control of the court of Zheng Shiguo. After Zheng Shiguo experienced a defeat in the national war, Yingzhuling's control over its state affairs became more complete. Mr. Yingzhu was indisputable in the country, and even
More authoritative than the king.
Huwa and others knew the history of Yingzhu Ridge to some extent, so they wanted to deal with a master like Mr. Yingzhu. Of course, they were extra cautious. Huwa, Panhu, Yang Hanling, and Mr. Sanshui first detoured to Nanhuang, and then followed Yingzhu
This mountain range sneaks in, and when it approaches the land of Zheng Shiguo, it stops flying and blocks the only way from Guishu City to Yingzhuling Dojo.
Mr. Yingzhu flew up along the undulating ridgeline. There was a majestic mountain in front of him. The vegetation below the mountainside was lush. Near the top of the mountain, huge rocks were exposed and barren of grass. This is also a landscape feature in the Beihuang area. As long as you cross this mountain peak, you can reach the next step.
Passing through a mountain col covered with flowers and grass, in front of you is the Yingzhuling Dojo.
Huwa and others were lurking on the north side of the peak. Yang Hanling suddenly said with his spiritual thoughts: "It's different from what we expected. Two masters are here!"
The person flying in the sky was obviously not one person, but two masters walking side by side. Mr. Sanshui was surprised and said: "The information we have is wrong, or Mr. Yingzhu has heightened his alert. Should we proceed as planned?"
The opportunity was fleeting and a decision had to be made immediately. Huwa squinted his eyes and said, "How can everything go as planned? Just two!"
…
Mr. Yingzhu and his junior brother Gu Caiqi were flying with their weapons, when suddenly a ball of light came from the top of the mountain. Mr. Yingzhu gave a soft drink, and a bright yellow whip appeared in his hand, and he swung it towards the ball of light.
This whip seemed to be made of bamboo roots. It was very flexible and divided into many sections. It spread out in the air like a swimming dragon, scattering the light. The moment the light dispersed, he found that what he had hit was actually
An egg! The egg immediately turned into a sword array, trapping him and Gu Cai in the air, and then countless sword rays came to kill them.
Huwa has never delayed his cultivation. Except for the time when he was trapped in the small world, other times including riding in a car with Xuanyuan and sneaking into the wilderness with Mr. Sanshui and others, he was doing other things at the same time.
After breaking through the realm of transformation, he finally combined eighty-one stone eggs into one weapon, which is a miracle in the history of monks refining weapons.
To deal with Mr. Yingzhu, Huwa did not use other artifacts, but sacrificed the magic stone head egg that he had personally crafted since the beginning of his practice and had been refining to this day. After the eighty-one stone eggs were combined into one, they were able to unfold into
A powerful sword formation, with the potential of Wufu Qiu Suoshan Sword Formation, is Huwa's most handy magic weapon.
The intertwining sword light did not hurt the visitor. Mr. Yingzhu threw the mountain whip. The bamboo whips unfolded one by one, connected end to end in the air, and turned into a ten-foot-wide circle. It was also a tower that could be attacked and defended.
The magic circle. Seeing this scene, Huwa was able to confirm that on the night when Dajun and Hanxiong were attacked, someone did use the Mountain Whip.
The mountain-holding whip turned into a magic formation that could be attacked and defended. Back then, someone threw the mountain-holding whip and trapped the caravan, but now Mr. Yingzhu used the mountain-holding whip to protect two of his own people. Each piece of bamboo is
The center of the array shot out streaks of light as the mana circulated, and it was at a standstill with Huwa's stone egg sword array.
Gu Caiqi, who had not yet taken action, shouted: "Who is coming! Why are you blocking our way?"
Huwa did not fly in the sky, but appeared on the cliff ahead. He said coldly: "Mr. Yingzhu, don't you recognize me? When I saw the artifact you unfolded at this moment, I remembered the incident outside Shanchuan City.
It was a tragic incident. If you still remember that incident, you should know why I came!... May I ask this fellow Taoist, who are you?"
Along with his spiritual thoughts, Huwa told Yingzhu that he came today for revenge, and asked Yingzhu - who else participated in that incident? Thinking about the peace talks between the two countries, Zheng Shiguo had actually given
Bashiguo gave an explanation, arguing that it was Zheng Gu who ordered it. Since Zheng Gu was dead, there was no need to pursue it anymore, and the attempt was just passed away.
Zheng Shiguo wanted to be vague, but Huwa was not vague. He had to investigate and find out. Without the instruction and support of Mr. Yingzhu, the then king Zheng Gu would not have been able to do that kind of thing, and the mountain-killing whip would not have appeared in the hands of the assassin.
Yingzhu didn't say anything, and only used his spiritual thoughts to tell his junior brother who was coming. Gu Caiqi asked: "Didn't the events of that year have already been explained during the peace talks between the two countries, why is Mr. Peng Keng still entangled?...Come with you?
"Yes, which master is it?" At the same time, he introduced his identity with his spiritual mind. He is Mr. Yingzhu's junior brother and the former protector of the Zhushan Sect.
Some situations are secrets of the sect and are often unclear to outsiders. When Mr. Yingzhu changed the Zhushan sect to Yingzhuling, not everyone in the sect supported it, but Mr. Yingzhu suppressed the opposition with strong force. His junior brother Gu Caiqi
I was opposed to this at the time, but in the end I had to comply with the sect's decision.
Later, Gu Caiqi became the guardian of the sect. This identity is usually not disclosed to the public, and even ordinary disciples rarely know about it. The duty of the guardian is not to become famous, but to protect the sect when the sect suffers heavy losses or is in danger of destruction.
At that time, he tried his best to continue the inheritance. Because Gu Caiqi did not support but could not change Yingzhu's decision, he took the initiative to assume this identity.
In fact, the responsibility of the pulse protector is not only to continue the sect's inheritance in critical moments, but also to monitor the behavior of the sect's top leaders in normal times. Even if some sects do not explicitly designate a pulse protector, they still have hidden masters who shoulder this responsibility.
Nowadays, Yingzhuling and Zheng Shiguo can be said to have the same fate. Such a major change has just happened in Bayuan, so Gu Caiqi accompanied Mr. Yingzhu to the capital to participate in the national memorial ceremony, mainly to understand the current situation of all parties.
However, he did not show up publicly. When he returned with Mr. Yingzhu, he was blocked by Huwa.
Although Gu Caiqi has been cultivating in the mountains all year round, he has heard about the reputation of Mr. Peng Keng, and is naturally shocked. Huwa has never heard of Gu Caiqi at all, and he did not expect that such a master would appear next to Mr. Yingzhu.
.
Just now, Mr. Yingzhu blocked the sword formation with a mountain-suppressing whip, and the mana surged like a thunderbolt. It was said that such a big movement was enough to alarm Yingzhuling Dojo, but in fact, no sound spread to the distance. Because when the two sides started to attack,
Suddenly a shining umbrella appeared in the sky. The umbrella opened but seemed to have no handle, completely covering the battlefield.
This is Mr. Sanshui's move. According to the plan, Mr. Sanshui does not have to show up. His most important task is to cover up the movement of the fighting. The magic weapon umbrella in his hand is also suitable. (To be continued.)
