The theory of ghosts and gods has always existed in ancient times, and there were countless kings who believed in ghosts and gods. Especially in the last years of the dynasty, the theory of ghosts and gods became even more prevalent, and the people became more superstitious about the theories of ghosts and gods.
Among all the unified dynasties of the past dynasties, the Eastern Han Dynasty placed special trust in ghosts and gods.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when Wang Mang usurped the throne, prophecies and the theory of destiny became popular on a large scale. The most famous prophecy at that time was the prophecy about Liu Xiu: "Liu Xiu sent troops to arrest the enemy, and the barbarians gathered in Long Dou Ye, and the Four Seven Flames
The main thing is Jihuo."
The key is that this prophecy was not spoken by Liu Xiu after he became famous.
Before Liu Xiu was unknown, there were prophecies about Liu Xiu. At that time, a Han clan clan member named Liu Xin changed his name to Liu Xiu in order to conform to the prophecy, intending to defy destiny and overthrow
Wang Mang rebelled.
In the end, he was executed by Wang Mang, and finally the real Liu Xiu became the emperor.
During Liu Xiu's southern campaign and the Northern War, celestial phenomena occurred frequently. The most famous one was the Battle of Kunyang. Before the war, a large number of meteorites fell on the enemy camp, causing chaos to the enemy army. After the first battle, the enemy army was defeated and there were strong winds and heavy rains.
came and gave Liu Xiuru divine help.
Liu Xiu's own miracles, coupled with Liu Xiu's belief in ghosts and gods, made the Eastern Han Dynasty extremely awe of ghosts and gods.
What goes up is good, and what goes down is effective.
Prophecies have always been popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty, as have theories about ghosts and gods. It is precisely for this reason that Lu Xuan suddenly opened the altar in a very sacred way. Even though Xia Houyuan loudly said that he did not believe it, there were still countless Cao Jun soldiers staring at him on the tower of Pingyang Pass.
With.
Everyone looked at Lu Xuan, and occasionally glanced at the western sky.
A gentle breeze blew from the northwest, making the Yangpingguan city tower feel a little cooler in the early morning.
"The wood of Jia and Yi in the east, the fire of Bing and Ding in the south, the gold of Geng and Xin in the west, the water of Ren and Gui in the north... The sky is round and the place is round, the law and order are nine chapters, and the gods are in the lower realm... Taishang Laojun is as urgent as the law and order, and the gods in the sky obey my order...
"
Lu Xuan's voice came from the altar.
The sound is not loud and can be heard clearly when the door is closed.
This rhythmic approach made all Cao's soldiers hold their breath and cheer up to listen.
After Lu Xuan chanted, he raised his sword and walked to the east-south position, just facing the front of Yangping Pass. A flash of light flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he quickly reached into his sleeve and took out a
Put a piece of paper on the talisman, rub it heavily on the blade of the sword, and insert the talisman on the tip of the sword.
Wow!!
In an instant, the talisman burned.
The same is true for the sword blade. The place where the talisman paper was wiped instantly burned with fire.
Countless Cao Jun soldiers on the tower of Yangping Pass were shocked when they saw this scene, and started talking with a bang. The eyes of Cao Jun soldiers widened, and there was even more fear in their eyes.
The talisman burned out of thin air, and the sword blade also burned. It was simply unheard of and unseen.
This is a miracle.
When Xia Houyuan saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat. He always felt that something was wrong. But in public, Lu Xuan clearly cast a spell to ignite the fire. Xia Houyuan didn't understand why?
Xia Houyuan stared at Lu Xuan, only to see Lu Xuan swinging the long sword. The next moment, Lu Xuan picked up the cup prepared on the altar, took a sip of water, opened his mouth and sprayed out the flames of the sword blade.
boom!!
The fire started burning.
The fire was burning brightly and brilliantly, making people feel even more awed and frightened.
Xia Houyuan's mouth suddenly became dry and his eyes were inexplicably panicked. Even though he didn't believe Lu Xuan, he always felt that Lu Xuan had a conspiracy, but at the moment, Xia Houyuan just didn't know.
Thinking of Lu Xuan's remarkable achievements at such a young age and his ability to conquer such a huge territory, Xia Houyuan suddenly wondered, could it be that Lu Xuan really had the help of ghosts and gods?
Xia Houyuan's mind was also filled with thoughts.
He didn't believe it, but seeing was believing, so he couldn't help but not believe it.
On the stage at this moment, Lu Xuan cast a spell to spit fire in the direction of Yangping Pass, and then followed the gourd's pattern and cast a spell to spit fire in other directions.
This will be a small trick in later generations.
Now, it is the most terrifying method.
After Lu Xuan saluted the four gods, he raised his long sword and said loudly: "The heaven and the earth are infinite, the universe borrows laws. Taiyi Tianzun orders, the heavenly soldiers and the heavenly generals descend upon the mortal ministers, and they are as urgent as the law, the order!"
Woo! Woo!!
The trumpeter who had been prepared long ago blew the trumpet immediately after hearing Lu Xuan's last words.
Boom! Boom!!
The drum beaters also beat the drums.
The low and powerful sound of horns and the passionate and magnificent drums complemented each other and echoed outside Yangping Pass. Many soldiers on the side came forward to burn paper, and the fire burned, causing billowing smoke to surround the altar.
The scene becomes more and more sacred.
Lu Xuan sat down cross-legged, with the long sword in front of him, as if he was meditating with his eyes closed, solemn and solemn. At this moment, the morning sun rose, the golden sunshine broke through the clouds, and the rays of light shone down, covering Lu Xuan's body, making Lu Xuan
Looks sacred and noble.
Xia Houyuan stood on the tower. He was really shocked just now. But when he saw Lu Xuan sitting down, he looked around again and found that except for the sound of horns and drums, there was no response.
Everything is business as usual!
His anxious heart gradually calmed down again.
Xia Houyuan glanced at the tower and saw that many soldiers on the tower were still discussing and their military morale was unstable. He immediately said loudly: "Lu Xuan, your trick of pretending to be a ghost is just to shake my military morale."
"However, these methods of yours are really not worth mentioning."
"Use the talk of ghosts and gods to scare people."
"That's useless."
"Every officer in my army is a hot-blooded man, with blood soaring into the sky and infinite killing intent. Even if the ghosts and gods come, my soldiers can kill all the ghosts and gods. In my army, if the Buddha stands in the way, Buddha will be killed, and if the ghost stands in the way, the Buddha will be killed.
Kill ghosts."
Xia Houyuan roared loudly: "Lu Xuan, the sun has come out. After morning, the weather has gotten hotter and the steam is steaming. Isn't it hot for you to sit on the stage? If I were you, I would go back earlier and don't bask in the sun here.
…”
"General!"
Ding Xiao opened his mouth to remind.
Xia Houyuan was interrupted. He glared at Ding Xiao fiercely, then looked in the direction of Lu Xuan outside the pass, and continued: "Lu Xuan, go back early, I feel like..."
Ding Xiao looked frightened and said anxiously: "General, look at the sky to the northwest."
Xia Houyuan was interrupted again by Ding Xiao, and became even more angry. Lu Xuan was meditating without saying a word. Now was the perfect time to attack Lu Xuan's momentum. He wanted to completely suppress Lu Xuan, but Ding Xiao repeatedly interrupted him.
plan.
Just as Xia Houyuan was about to speak, the soldiers suddenly started talking around him.
"Look to the northwest. There is a golden light emerging. Is it really a golden-armored heavenly soldier?"
"Lu Xuan actually summoned countless golden-armored heavenly soldiers and generals. It's so powerful. How can we resist when such heavenly soldiers descend on Yangping Pass?"
"What should I do?"
Panic filled the towers of Yangpingguan.
Sounds come and go.
Xia Houyuan's newly rising anger suddenly stopped. He looked towards the northwest of Yangping Pass, his eyes widened in an instant, and he felt his scalp numb.
