Chapter 1501: Wear the skin of the ancestor of the corpse village, and then go to the evil mirror stage
The sixtieth attack on the ancient inner city failed.
It has been two and a half years since Jin An and the others were trapped in the underworld.
Because they lacked the powerful force of the old Marquis, their advance on Prince Wu's Mansion had been unsatisfactory, and they had been lingering outside the sacred pavilion where the tomb of Prince Wu's daughter was located, unable to rush in.
If they were not afraid of death, they could also imitate the old Marquis and attack the Shen Pavilion and the tomb of King Wu's daughter to forcefully search for clues. Of course, the outcome would not be much better than that of the old Marquis.
Fortunately, after advancing so many times, as he became more and more familiar with King Wu's attack rhythm, Jin An finally found a flaw in King Wu and extended the time by three more breaths.
With the help of these three breaths, he was able to rush into the divine pavilion where the tomb was located and observe more details of the divine pavilion and the tomb.
Don't worry, you only get three breaths of time.
The price was that Jin An was injured several times when he advanced into Prince Wu's Mansion, so he could rush into the divine pavilion.
Master Qing Xi handed over a healing pill and personally helped Jin An cross over to Dao Qi to speed up his recovery, but was stopped by Jin An.
"We don't know how long we will be trapped here. Pills are precious now. Master Qingxi doesn't have to waste pills on my minor injury. I have rough skin and thick flesh, and this injury will heal itself quickly." Jin An
Originally wanting to reject Master Qing Xi's kindness, Master Qing Xi insisted on bringing the elixir to Jin An's mouth. Although she did not speak, she always looked at Jin An and wanted to see Jin An swallow the elixir with her own eyes.
With the persuasion of Taoist Zhanmu and Taoist Qingfeng, Jin An accepted Master Qingxi's kindness and swallowed the elixir.
After seeing Jin An take the healing medicine with his own eyes, Master Qing Xi looked away.
This time the attack failed again. Except for Old King Ling who came over to express some concern and repeated polite words, everyone else in the Tianshi Mansion had numb eyes and no worries, because they had long known that this would be the result.
Unless Jin'an can make significant progress at the tomb of King Wu's daughter, it will cause turmoil in the hearts of these people.
The attack on the ancient inner city failed this time, so everyone returned to the gathering place outside the city to rest and challenge again day after day after five or six days.
As soon as they returned to the gathering place outside the city, a big news suddenly came from the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue: "Martial Arts Corpse Immortal, there is news from the Yang world that has been brought to the small underworld. The Prairie Khanate has perished, and the Kangding and Rakshasa Kingdoms have been exposed.
Form an alliance and jointly attack the Grassland Khanate!"
When the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord spoke, he shared the vision of the spiritual eye, which was the vision of the elder Yujing Jinque who stayed at the passage.
Lightning struck wood, nailed dragon stakes, and passageways.
I saw the elder of Yujing Jinque unfolding the letter he brought in from Yangjian. The letter roughly described the process.
Kangding's army pressed on several major border fortresses, and the grassland khanate was tired of defense and missed the opportunity to reserve supplies for winter. In addition, this year's winter came extremely early and was extremely cold. Blizzards in the north caused disasters. Large areas of cattle, horses and sheep froze to death, and grassland herdsmen also suffered.
Large areas froze to death, and even tens of thousands of horseback warriors who had gathered outside the border fortress to confront Kang Ding froze to death, severely damaging the vitality of the Steppe Khanate.
In order to revive their morale, the Steppe Khanate had to forcefully attack the Kangding Kingdom even though they knew they were at a disadvantage. They wanted to replenish supplies by plundering Kangding's border towns as before.
But just as the Steppe Khanate launched an offensive against Kangding's pass, Kangding made a detour from the Western Regions and ambushed a firearms cavalry battalion deep in the northern desert. Like a sharp knife, it penetrated into the hinterland of the Steppe Khanate and broke into the empty defense rear area.
At this time, the Rakshasa Kingdom, which borders the Steppe Khanate, suddenly passed through the vast snowy mountains and swept across the territory of the Steppe Khanate. At this time, most of the troops of the Steppe Khanate were held back by the Kangding Kingdom and the Rakshasa Kingdom, and were unable to do so.
Returning to support the capital in the rear area, Kangding's surprise troops who had ambushed in advance were like entering uninhabited territory, and the entire steppe khanate was about to be breached.
Although the information in the letter did not mention many details, and it did not mention whether the capital of the Steppe Khanate was finally breached, but these few details in the letter were enough to make everyone feel numb and numb, as if they were hit by an electric current.
numb.
The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord exclaimed in surprise: "Martial Arts Corpse Immortal, you really got it right. Kangding's army is pressing down on several fortresses on the border. This is a dubious plan to attack the east and the west. The real killer is the army that quietly ambush in the desert in advance.
Firearms Cavalry Battalion in the Deep!"
Um?
The elders of Yujing Jinque, who had still completely recovered from the shock brought by this information, hurriedly asked what was going on.
The Thousand-Eyed Daojun Statue took a peek at Jin'an and saw that Jin'an looked calm and had no intention of stopping it, so it roughly dictated Jin'an and the senior officials of the Criminal Investigation Department's analysis of the situation in the Three Kingdoms and the intention behind Kang Ding's sudden army invasion.
once.
After everyone heard the analysis, they were all surprised. They looked up at Jin An in surprise. They didn't expect that Jin An had such profound military and strategic skills.
We must know that throughout the ages, military books have rarely been circulated outside the country. Although there are many folk books, including poems by saints that have been widely circulated, the circulation of military books is strictly prohibited.
Unexpectedly, Jin An was not only talented in cultivation and had spiritual roots, but was also a great talent in the art of military strategy, which attracted many eyebrows for a while.
Taoist Qingfeng sighed with emotion: "After being enlightened by my little Taoist friend Jin'an, I suddenly became enlightened. The layout of this secret chess move is really high, and it has the magic of a strange army to determine the universe."
"No matter whether the Steppe Khanate attacks the border towns of our country, their defeat is already doomed. If they launch an attack, their rear will be empty, and surprise troops will raid the capital. If they don't launch an attack, countless men and horses will freeze to death. We will be defeated without a fight. We won't waste a single soldier.
One pawn and a complete victory."
After hearing the words and carefully considering the details, the elders of Yujing Jinque all nodded in agreement. They finally understood why Emperor Kangzhao and King Zunyi pressed their troops on the border, always showing a sense of tension that a war was imminent, but yet they delayed taking action.
reasons.
A military strategist who was just waiting for work came up with a plan. He simply dragged his troops to defeat the enemy without fighting, and directly dragged the elite troops of the Steppe Khanate to death on the border.
No matter whether the Steppe Khanate finally attacked or not, they had already fallen into the trap set by the two countries long ago.
"If I remember correctly, there are several great witch masters in the Grassland Khanate. This time, the country is in danger of subjugation. Why don't these great witch masters intervene?" Taoist Zhanmu frowned.
This is also the biggest mystery.
The black witch religion is prevalent among the grassland nomads, and its realms are spiritual witch, great witch, and great witch master, which are in turn compared to the three realms of Qi Practitioner, Yuan Shen Leaving the Body, and Day Traveling to Control Objects.
Above the great witch masters of the Prairie Khanate, there are also some pseudo-fourth realm people who have lived old enough. Even Tianzhu Kingdom was able to send two of the most powerful pseudo-fourth realm figures to Kangding State this time. The number of powerful men in the Prairie Khanate will not be the same.
Less than Tianzhu.
The information content on the letterhead was too little, and many details were not mentioned.
In other words, the incident happened suddenly and the march was kept secret, so a lot of information was only recently transmitted to the capital.
What's more, this information was transmitted from the border to the capital, and it was no longer the latest frontline battle report. The soldiers were extremely fast, and the changes on the battlefield were changing rapidly. Maybe while they were discussing, the capital of the Steppe Khanate had already been defeated by the firearms cavalry battalion.
Broken.
While thinking, everyone turned their attention to the Rakshasa people who were staying with the Tianshi Mansion.
Since they have the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord here, they were the first to get the information. There has been no response from the Tianshi Mansion and the Rakshasa Kingdom.
But the information will be available within the next few days at the latest.
Because the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Daojun said that he saw the people from the Tianshi Mansion staying at the entrance of the passage, they had released several message paper cranes, turned into several streams of light and headed straight for this way.
Even though they had all kinds of doubts in their hearts, the few informants left by the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue in the passage were secret chess they kept as a back-up move. They could not be exposed easily. Everyone in Yujing Golden Tower could only pretend to know nothing.
The few spiritual eyes left by the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue at the passage are as important in everyone's hearts as the secret chess piece hidden deep in the desert. They can determine the outcome at critical moments, so they don't want to be exposed easily unless absolutely necessary.
.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Jin An with envy, and then asked the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue again about the whereabouts of its Taoist friends from the underworld.
As expected.
During the past few days when everyone was recuperating, a paper crane message was sent from the Tianshi Mansion. One of the spiritual lights passed through many obstacles, and a yellow talisman origami crane full of holes that was rotted by Yin Qi fell into the hands of Old King Ling.
.
King Lao Ling spread out the talisman paper crane. After reading the information, his expression changed. He immediately approached several people from the Rakshasa Kingdom, and then entered the old Marquis's tent. He didn't know what they were discussing.
At this time, Yujing Jinque pretended to have received a message from the outside world, giving off a tense atmosphere of being in a hurry and having something bad going on.
The fourth realm of the Rakshasa Kingdom must be aware of the details of the layout of the two countries this time, and the core senior officials of the Tianshi Mansion, Lao Hou Ye and Lao Ling Wang, who are closest to the masters of the Rakshasa Kingdom and are colluding with each other, must know some details in advance, but they do not know
Are their surprises intentional to show to outsiders?
The Tianshi Mansion and the Rakshasa Kingdom are being staged for other people to see, and the Jade Capital Golden Tower and Wu Zang Taoist Temple are not being staged for the former. Both parties have their own merits, and for the time being they are not superior.
We didn't wait too long, just for a cup of tea. The Tianshi Mansion sent someone to invite everyone to go to the old Marquis' big tent for discussion.
The old Marquis has been living in seclusion since his hair turned bald overnight. This is the first time he saw the old Marquis after half a year since his last bald night. The old Marquis, who is cursed and caused by karma, has been tortured all the time, and the essence and blood in his body are...
There is more decay. When we meet again today, he looks older than last time, with the aura of death exuding from his body every moment.
It is not surprising that the Tianshi Mansion wants to discuss something. It is precisely to discuss the changes in the war between the Three Kingdoms in the underworld.
In the underworld, the Kangding Kingdom and the Rakshasa Kingdom have officially announced their alliance to the outside world and jointly declared war on the Grassland Khanate. The old Marquis hopes that in the underworld, everyone can put aside their prejudices and form an alliance with each other candidly to solve the ancient country's giant city as soon as possible.
In order to return to the earthly world as soon as possible and stabilize the hearts of all the people.
And so on and so forth.
The old Marquis said it nicely, but in fact his body could no longer wait any longer. The one who was most urgent at the moment to resolve the curse on his body and return to the earth to find corpses that had not decayed for thousands of years and refining the elixir of immortality was the Old Marquis.
The old Marquis couldn't afford to wait anymore, and tried to put pressure on Jin'an by taking advantage of the righteousness between countries.
Regarding the alliance, Jin An sneered inwardly and did not give a statement. Taoist Qingfeng saw that the atmosphere in the tent became dull, so he eased the atmosphere and said: "We have also received messages about the external war, and we know a little bit about it, but there is one thing that we can't understand.
Where are the great witch masters from the Grassland Khanate, and why don’t they show up?”
Taoist Qingfeng asked about the location of the Rakshasa Kingdom master.
A burly man from the Rakshasa Kingdom wearing an iron bear mask spoke coldly from under the mask: "The ancestors of the Prairie Khanate had several bloodlines that had been active in our country. We spread rumors and discovered the burial place of their ancestors. The Prairie Khanate
Several of the largest tribes in the country are rushing to find the tomb, claiming that they are the orthodox and the khan of the grassland."
Rakshasa Kingdom said it very lightly, but no one present would really believe this statement.
It is true that the Steppe Khanate is an alliance of tribes, but it is obviously very unrealistic for the largest tribes and the great wizards to deceive these people with just a few rumors.
However, from the mouths of the masters of the Rakshasa Kingdom, at least one important clue was proved. The unusual movements of the Great Witch Lord of the Prairie Khanate were indeed related to these Rakshasa people.
Thinking of this, Taoist Zhanmu, Taoist Qingfeng and others all frowned.
The Rakshasa people's plan this time is so large and sophisticated that even the great shaman of the Prairie Khanate can calculate it. This kind of painstaking calculation may not be planned in just a few years.
The Great Witch Lord has many thoughts and quick thinking, and even the Great Witch Lord has calculated it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it took one or two generations to lay out the plan.
People from Tianzhu were also present, including the incarnation of King Hari and the envoy Surya. When they heard the depth of these Rakshasa people's calculations, they all looked at them in surprise.
Regarding the alliance between the Wu Zang Taoist Temple and the Rakshasa Kingdom, Jin An did not express his position. The old Marquis did not urge Jin An, but asked Jin An to think deeply about national justice after returning.
The old marquis even brought out the national interests, but Jin An remained unmoved because he also had his own plans.
After leaving the old marquis's tent and returning to the Jinque camp in Yujing, Jin An found Qing Xi, the real person, and plotted his next plan.
Jin An went straight to the point and took out a neatly folded human skin bag from the human stomach bag. It was the skin bag of the ancestor of the corpse-carrying village.
Qing Xi's eyes were cold and calm, as if he had expected this.
Jin An didn't intend to hide it from Qing Xi, and directly told his plan: "I broke into the divine pavilion where the tomb of King Wu's daughter is located several times and found some clues, but I'm not sure yet."
"So I plan to make another trip to the Evil Realm Platform to see if I can use the skin bag of the ancestor of the corpse-carrying village to carry out the bronze coffin to test my idea."
"This trip back to the Nie Mirror Platform is dangerous and unpredictable. I don't know how long it will take to get back. I hope Master Qingxi can help me to prevent the people of Tianshi Mansion from becoming suspicious of me."
Master Qing Xi nodded in agreement without thinking: "Okay."
Jin An turned his hand and took out a red lead-mercury holy embryo from the stomach bag this time. It was the nine-turn Chongyang holy embryo with the heaviest yang fire among the six lead-mercury holy embryos.
"Before going down to the Nie Mirror Stage, I will leave this Nine-Revolution Chongyang Holy Embryo next to Master Qing Xi to imitate my martial arts immortal aura. Even if I don't come back for a long time, the people from Tianshi Mansion or Rakshasa Kingdom will only need to
Unless you observe closely, you won’t find any flaws.”
"I'll leave everything to Master Qing Xi."
After saying that, Jin An put on the skin bag of the ancestor of the corpse-carrying village, and then performed the seventh transformation of the Yin-walking technique, tracing the spiritual eye aura left by the Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord statue in the evil mirror platform, and walked through the evil mirror platform again.
"Be careful along the way..."
"I will always wait for your return..."
The ethereal voice of Master Qing Xi came to Jin An's ears, and the voice quickly moved away, becoming blurry and hazy until he could no longer hear it.
