Chapter 55: Deng Jiugong's Second Expedition to Xiqi
With the help of Han Rong at Sishui Pass, Deng Jiugong replenished his soldiers, baggage, food and fodder. He also waited for the reinforcements of 100,000 troops from Zhang Shan, which can be said to be a strong army and a strong horse.
They could have raised troops to attack Xiqi again, but there were many Taoist practitioners in Xiqi. Deng Jiugong and others were unsure, so they hesitated.
On this day, a soldier came to report: "There is a man who claims to be a Qigong Master from Shengshan Mountain in Kowloon Island. He was entrusted by Shen Gongbao and came here to help."
When Deng Jiugong heard this, he was overjoyed and led Zhang Shan and others to greet him. Deng Jiugong walked to the door and saw a man wearing a red robe, with a face like indigo, hair like cinnabar, three eyes wide open, riding a golden-eyed camel, and carrying a sword.
.
His appearance is indeed extraordinary, and you can tell he possesses special powers as soon as you see him. Especially the third eye between his eyebrows, which reminds people of Master Wen's divine eyes at first sight, and his eyes must have special powers.
Deng Jiugong was very happy and hurriedly welcomed the Taoist into the camp. Deng Jiugong said: "I don't know what to call him?"
The Taoist replied: "I am Lu Yue, a famous Qigong practitioner from the famous mountain in Kowloon Island. I have been invited by Shen Gongbao to come to help the old general!"
When Deng Jiugong heard this, he couldn't help but said: "For the sake of old age, I have tired Taoist priests from running around. I feel very guilty. Now that I have asked Taoist priests to come and help me, they have solved my urgent need."
When Lu Yue heard what Deng Jiugong said, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "What is the general's difficulty? It's better to tell it to Pindao."
Deng Jiugong sighed and said: "I was sent by the king to attack Xiqi. However, everyone in Xiqi relied on Taoism, but we were defeated. If we delay the attack, we are afraid that the king will punish us."
Lu Yue smiled and said: "What do I mean? Since I am here, I will definitely help you and others resist the group of Taoists in Xiqi. General, feel free to send troops."
Deng Jiugong said: "Although the Taoist priest comes to relieve the urgent need, I can't harm the Taoist priest. There are many people in Xiqi, but they always like to swarm them. If the Taoist priest stops one person, I'm afraid the Taoist priest will suffer a loss."
But Lu Yue didn't take it seriously and said: "General, it's just ordinary people's opinions. How can we monks judge the difference between superior and inferior based on the number of people and the number of people? Not to mention the Taoism that I know, I am best at using one against many.
. Just say that once my four disciples arrive, there will be no way that Xiqi can win with the help of more people."
Deng Jiugong was surprised to hear that the Taoist still had four disciples. He couldn't help but asked: "I wonder when the eldest disciple will arrive?"
Lu Yue replied: "We'll be here in a few days!"
After Deng Jiugong got the news, he finally felt at peace. Then he held a banquet to welcome Lu Yue.
In the next few days, Deng Jiugong led Zhang Shan and others to prepare for the expedition. He only waited for Lu Yue's four disciples to arrive before attacking Xiqi again.
Within a few days, Lu Yue's four apprentices arrived at Sishui Pass.
When Deng Jiugong, Zhang Shan and others saw the images of these four people, they were certain in their hearts that the Western Expedition was going to be stable. These four people had faces of green, yellow, black and red, and some were wearing double buns, or wearing Taoist scarves, or green.
Wearing Taoist robes of various colors, yellow, black, and red, he is one to six or seven feet long. He walks like a tiger or a wolf, and his eyes look fierce. He is very vicious.
Lu Yue asked the four of them: "Why are you so late?"
All four of them replied: "It is at the critical moment of refining the magic weapon. We dare not be distracted. Now that the magic weapon is complete, we are here to help the master defeat the enemy."
After hearing this, Lu Yue nodded. Then he introduced his four apprentices to Deng Jiugong. These four were Zhou Xin, Li Qi, Zhu Tianlin, and Yang Wenhui.
As soon as the four arrived, Deng Jiugong raised an army of 200,000 to attack Xiqi again. Within ten days, they arrived at Xiqi and set up camp outside the north gate.
Everyone in Xiqi had already scouted the horse to report, and learned that Deng Jiugong was coming to attack with an army of 200,000 men. They closed the four gates early and waited for Deng Jiugong to attack.
Yang Tuo, Jiang Ziya and others were observing the enemy's formation on the city wall. Because Deng Jiugong did not surrender to Xiqi, Yang Tuo did not know the situation of Cheng Tang's army at this time.
But since Deng Jiugong dared to raise a large army and attack Xiqi again, I think he had someone to rely on, but I don’t know who it was!
At this time, a Taoist priest walked out of Chengtang Camp. Although he was wearing Taoist robes, he was about ten feet tall and very scary.
After this man came out of the battle, he asked for a fight outside the city. Seeing this, Jiang Ziya asked everyone: "Who is going to go and find out the details of the other party?"
Nezha on the side said loudly: "Disciple is willing to go." When Ziya saw it was Nezha, he turned to look at Yang Tuo. Yang Tuo saw Ziya looking over, although he didn't know who was coming from the Yin Shang side, but Nezha was the incarnation of the lotus.
, and with the "Hot Fire Wheel" in my body, I could resist and run, so I thought there would be no problems, so I nodded.
Immediately, Jiang Ziya sent Nezha out to fight. Nezha stepped on the "Wind Fire Wheel" and walked to the front of the formation and asked: "Who is coming? Tell me your name. My Nezha will not kill unknown generals with my gun."
When the Taoist saw Nezha's arrogant words, he snorted angrily and said, "The people who explain the teachings are really arrogant. I am Zhou Xin, a Qi practitioner from Jiulong Island. You are relying on Kunlun Taoism to bully me and intercept my teachings. Come down the mountain today.
I came here to compete with you."
Speaking of coming to get the sword, Nezha hurriedly raised his gun to greet him. Although Nezha was stepping on the "Hot Fire Wheel", he was not necessarily taller than Zhou Xin. Zhou Xin was nearly two feet tall. He looked tall and tall.
, infinitely powerful.
However, Nezha was not taking it easy. He was originally the reincarnation of a spiritual bead and the incarnation of a lotus. He was born with strange images. Guns and swords were exchanged between the two sides, and murderous intent was rampant. The land around Xiqi was swept away again.
The two fought for dozens of rounds, with no result in sight. Zhou Xin took out a chime and shook it several times at Nezha. Nezha suddenly turned pale and almost fell off the wheel.
Nezha had a splitting headache and did not dare to stay. He hurriedly drove the hot wheel back to the city. Everyone was surprised to see Nezha's condition. Jin Zha couldn't help but asked: "Nezha, what's wrong with you?"
Nezha fell to the ground when he returned to the city. He only complained that he had a headache. No matter how many people shouted, there was no other response.
Yang Tuo was shocked when he saw this, and thought to himself: "I'm afraid this is a 'headache', and it must be Lu Yue." Yang Tuo suddenly felt a headache.
This Lu Yue is the Plague Emperor, and he is best at the art of plague poison. Yang Tuo is not worried about other aspects, but this plague, for mortals, if they are not careful, it will be a disaster.
If the people of Xiqi caught the plague, they would probably suffer heavy casualties. Although they could go to the Emperor of the Fire Cloud Cave to ask for elixirs, there is no telling how many innocent people would die.
As a national master of Xiqi, Yang Tuo did not want the people of Xiqi to suffer such a disaster. Yang Tuo's brain was racing and he wanted to find a way to solve the problem. The first thing Yang Tuo thought of was the "Sword to Stop Plague". This sword is
Lu Yue's important magic weapon for controlling the plague. It can stop the spread of the plague and enable it to be released or contained.
But it is so difficult to snatch this sword from Lu Yue. This Lu Yue is a great monk in the Taiyi realm. Although he does not know the specific realm, he has found his own path and his realm will not be low.
Among the people in Xiqi, no one is their opponent when fighting alone. Even if they are swarmed, Lu Yue has three heads and six arms, and is not afraid of group fights at all.
