The news that Pingchao City was destroyed reached General Li's ears. He was so frightened that he actually fell ill. He asked people to close the city gate, saying something like "defend to the death".
A few days later, Daliang's army defeated two cities in a row and reached the city gates in one go.
The new recruits were pushed onto the tower, holding bows and arrows that had not been used many times in their hands. They looked blankly at the 50,000 murderous elite soldiers and generals on the opposite side. If Wang Wu and other veterans were not cleaning their knives on the steps below, they would have run away long ago.
!
"It's over, surrender, we are going to die!"
"Our Kingdom of Jin has been rotted into a sieve for a long time, and the generals we sent here are nothing more than idiots!"
After a few days of comfortable life, the recruits felt like pigs that had been fattened. They were led to the butcher's knife without any mental preparation, and they burst into tears.
A lieutenant general with good eyesight in the Daliang Army saw this scene, laughed and said to the heroic general on the horse beside him, "Concubine Li has bewitched King Jin to all sorts of things, ruined the government, and made him a weakling. This
Could it be that the nephew of the Li family has also stunned his own soldiers? Look at what a man he looks like!"
When Wu Zifa, the Marquis of Zhongyi and General of the Western Conquest, heard this, a smile appeared on his face that was blown cold by the wind and frost, but his tone was serious, "Don't take it lightly. Once we capture this city, we will take a good rest and reward you with rewards."
All officers and men!"
It was the beginning of winter, and the faces, hands, and feet of the Daliang soldiers were all frostbitten. They had been looking forward to getting into a sheltered place, drinking a bowl of hot soup, and resting for a while after hearing that the city was captured.
Soaring!
Wu Zifa drew his sword and gave the charge command, "Up!"
He took the lead and paid no attention to the enemy soldiers on the tower who were unable to hold their bows and arrows. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of one of the panicked enemy soldiers with a dull and out-of-place expression.
Unexpectedly, he met the man's eyes, which were like looking into the vast world. He was horrified and almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, the deputy general's quick eyesight helped him.
"General?" The deputy general looked at him worriedly.
"It's okay." He looked towards the tower again, but couldn't find the person.
Unable to do so, he attacked the city gate with strong uneasiness. Fortunately, nothing happened until they captured the city.
Wu Zifa personally went around the prisoner camp, secretly looking for the man, but could not find him. He couldn't help but wonder if he had seen it wrong.
He also said that after Zhan Changfeng met Wu Zifa, he expected that he would be the emperor who unified all the countries in the East, and some ideas gradually took shape.
The rapid increase in the number of spirits and ghosts in this world is due to many factors, the most important of which is luck.
If the human race's luck is huge, the destiny of the human race will be biased towards the human race, and there will be less opportunities for plants, animals, metal and stone artifacts to become spirits. What's more, when the human race is afraid of spirits and explicitly rejects the birth of spirits, the will power of the human race will be enough to affect the destiny and suppress them.
Due to their fate, they cannot become spirits and vice versa.
Nowadays, large and small countries are constantly fighting, and the destiny of the human race is chaotic and declining, which naturally gives space for plants, animals, gold and stone artifacts to become refined.
It is also because the fortunes of heaven and earth are chaotic and disorderly, and there are many dead people. The creatures who died with resentment and anger can easily become evil spirits and sneak around.
Therefore, in order to restrain the sneaky spirits, we must first calm down the war and restore order.
Since Wu Zifa has the status of an emperor, she will not interfere much.
What she wants to intervene in is an area that living beings cannot touch - conferring gods.
Suppressing the war will not affect the existing sneaky spirits, and the method of surrendering objects passed down from King Donglin's period to earn faith will not stop the increasingly powerful sneaky spirits.
The so-called material subjugation method is to use glutinous rice, peach wood, realgar, mirror, salt, jade and other things that have the effect of warding off evil spirits to restrain some small evil spirits. At that time, the ghosts and ghosts in this world are very few and weak, so this method is enough.
, but not now.
From what she saw along the way, the strongest little demon was already comparable to a foundation-building monk, but he was still an ordinary person.
It is unrealistic for the Imperial Court to send Heavenly Officials and Generals to sit down and take charge. It is like using a golden knife to chop wood, which devalues the value of the golden knife and damages the blade of the golden knife - it is not a good thing to suppress your cultivation for a long time and stay in the mortal world.
The punishment for someone who has been tortured is pretty much the same.
Therefore, it is best to train local people to take charge.
If this person is not involved in the interests of ordinary life, and if he is able to suppress ghosts and ghosts, then this person can only be a "dead spirit".
So the next question is to teach this "dead spirit" how to practice.
The path of ghosts, the path of incense, the path of faith?
These three are interrelated. The path of incense and fire is originally a branch of the ghost path, but it is a ghost formed by the soul of life. It has cultivated a spiritual body and relied on the will and belief of mortal creatures to practice.
The path of faith is a branch separated from the path of incense, which only absorbs the practice of faith. Later, there were also living souls who practiced these two paths, especially the monks of Buddhism, Taoism and Shinto.
Taiyi does not aim to collect the power of faith. To a certain extent, Zhan Changfeng still rejects the power of faith.
Because the power of belief is actually part of the spiritual power of a living being, when a living being ties this part of its spiritual power to or gives it to a certain being, the original power of the living being will be weakened, and there will be a lack of creativity and independence.
The most direct manifestation is to use great supernatural powers to send him to reincarnation, but it will not succeed because his original power is too weak.
Of course, except for the loss of spiritual power, which is not much, or which is replenished later.
Therefore, a truly responsible monk should, after accepting their faith, give feedback and help them do something practical, even send them a blessing to make things smoother for them.
If you can't do that, don't accept the believer's power of faith.
It's a pity that most monks who practice faith don't have this self-control.
If we talk about the root cause, it comes from the system of Incense Tao and Belief Tao.
First, let’s talk about the incense monks who practice with the power of vows and faith. They have a strong dependence on believers. Once no one worships them and believes in them, they will have no source of power and will die out. Therefore, many incense appeared.
Taoist monks meet the demands of believers without restraint, and believers often turn to "gods" for help.
Let’s talk about the Tao of Faith. Part of the reason why the Tao of Faith was opened was that the monks of the Incense Tao wanted to get rid of the situation of being “kidnapped” by believers.
However, the flaw in the way of faith is that it does not fulfill the wishes of believers and does not help believers do practical things, but it can also gather the power of faith, such as posing on the stage to trick the audience into following the flattery, and the impassioned demagogue who wins by talking.
However, Zhan Changfeng wanted a more perfect and vast "Shen Dao" so that they could not bear the burden of the common people and pursue the Dao like Taoist monks.
In the past, she had thought about using merit and laws to restrain her. The clone was also trying, and had already figured out a set of imperfect cultivation methods.
This kind of cultivation method turns the power of merit into the origin of the soul, and uses the soul origin to participate in the power of the law. This cultivation method greatly weakens the possibility of opportunism, has a higher degree of morality, and has a broad prospect.
The imperfection is that the current cultivation method of this system is single. If you cannot find the divine totem in the later period, or you cannot realize the power of the law, you will not be able to continue practicing.
There is also a threshold for cultivation. The cultivator must have the earth soul, life soul, and heaven soul. If one is missing, the origin of the soul is incomplete, it is predicted that he will not be able to reach the realm of quasi-sage through this method.
