Chapter 857 Before the decisive battle
The four Dharma, Celestial and Earth realms join forces, and this force is enough to make the court make compromises and concessions to a certain extent, at least comparable to the former Blue Dragon Society.
Nan Huazi, the leader of the Taoist sect, and Zhang Xuanqing, the old master of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, are two old masters of the Fa Tian Xiang Di Realm.
And Zhuge Zhengwo's Bagua mind method operates even more freely, quite like the legendary traveling six virtual skills.
Although Liu Dufeng is slightly inferior to these three people, his Hunyuan Sword Qi is violent and violent, and his killing power is worse than ordinary martial arts.
The four of them are not simple people. Of course they can break into the realm of Dharma, Heaven and Earth, and none of them are simple people. Which one is not a great master? The ultimate master? !
As for Sandu sent by Shaolin, he is a veteran Dongxuan, and he is very courageous and strong. He once challenged the Zhenwu Taoist Master with a diamond subduing demon circle at Zhang Sanfeng's birthday banquet. Although the result was very bad, it also reflected the power of the King Kong Demon Circle.
If he didn't have a few kilograms, Sandu wouldn't challenge Zhang Sanfeng. It can't be said that the three eminent monks of Shaolin are so trustworthy!
Moreover, the power of the Diamond Subduing Demon Circle is indeed extraordinary. Although it is not included in the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin, it is not that it is not powerful, but that this martial art is really difficult to practice.
The eminent monk of Sandu has been sitting in meditation for more than thirty years, and he has now reached the point where his minds are connected, and when one person thinks, the other two will immediately understand.
Only in this way can the true power of the Diamond Subduing Demon Circle be unleashed.
"Vajra Subduing Demon Circle" takes the "Diamond Sutra" as the highest purpose, and finally achieves "no self, no one, no sentient beings, no lifespan". The difference between human beings and me, the difference between life and death, all can be seen. Make an illusion.
If it really reaches such a state, even masters like Zhuge Zhengwo and Zhang Xuanqing will be suppressed by the Vajra Demon-Conquering Dharma on the Vajra Demon-Conquering Circle once they enter the formation, and the vitality of heaven and earth will be difficult to control and trapped. No matter how difficult it is to escape from the formation, you can truly suppress the Dharma image with the cave.
It's just that although the three monks are highly cultivated, they can't get rid of the idea of defeating the enemy when they take action. Although they have put their own life and death aside, the distinction between human and self cannot be eliminated, so the power of this "Vajra Demon-Suppressing Circle" cannot be practiced to the extreme.
Among the three monks, the cultivation of overcoming disasters is the highest, and the deep body must eliminate the "four characteristics of human and self". However, as soon as the idea of fighting for supremacy and victory among the two monks in overcoming disasters and tribulations became strong, the stain became deeper and mixed with the traces of the worldly appearances, leading to this It is difficult for martial arts to exert its maximum power.
It can only trap warriors in the realm of law, heaven, and earth for a certain period of time.
Counting the three crossings, Zhengdao Fang is equivalent to the combat power of five Dharma, Heaven, Elephant and Earth Realm.
"It's a pity that Marquis Yang has not arrived, otherwise this matter would be a sure thing." Liu Dufeng's true energy turned, and a cup of fragrant tea was filled into Zhuge Zhengwo's cup, "Brother Zhuge, please!"
Liu Dufeng is now Yang Qingyuan's staunch subordinate. Originally Liu Dufeng was in the Cave Mystic Realm and was at the sixth level. In the court, his grandma did not care for him and his uncle did not love him. Although he was trusted by Emperor Taizongwen, he was just a reckless thug in the eyes of those officials.
But since he recognized Yang Qingyuan as his boss, not only did his martial arts improve, but he also gained the title of Lord Wu Wei.
Duke Bozinan, this is the third-class title!
Moreover, when Emperor Linde ascended the throne, Liu Dufeng stood correctly and tried his best to help Emperor Linde quell the rebellion and eliminate evil. Although his title has not been promoted, it has been inherited from the original reduced title to a title that remains unchanged for three generations.
From this, it can be seen that following Yang Houhun was a wise decision. It was everything you wanted until the end.
Regarding Liu Dufeng's view, Zhuge Zhengyi also agreed. Regardless of martial arts and intelligence, Yang Qingyuan was the best choice. If he also participated in this encirclement and suppression, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
"At this time, Yang Hou was under the orders of the Emperor to depose and recruit envoys for Yangzhou. When he was in charge of Yangzhou, he couldn't get away for a while. And I heard that General Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue were involved in the Jinling Sword Duel. , I’m afraid Marquis Yang won’t be able to get away to come here.”
Zhuge Zhengwo also did not hide his appreciation for Yang Qingyuan in his words.
"Brother Liu knows where the other experts are and when they will arrive."
Liu Dufeng's Six Gates now share an intelligence system with the Guangwen Department of Dali Temple, which is much stronger than the Shenhou Mansion.
"The head of Renzong, Nanhua Zhenren, wrote a letter the day before yesterday. He and a group of disciples arrived in Chuzhou and will arrive here in about three days. Shaolin's third crossing has just crossed the Yangtze River. Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain has also just made the journey. To the territory of Yuzhang."
Zhuge Zhengwo said thoughtfully, "In other words, it's just you and me here, so why not..."
Liu Dufeng heard the implication of Zhuge Zhengwo's words.
"Brother Zhuge means that we will go to southern Xinjiang to explore the road first?! It will be convenient for future operations?" Liu Dufeng also became interested.
"Brother Liu is indeed a fellow-minded person!"
Both of them are the top masters in the world. If they join forces, they should be able to escape even if they encounter any danger.
"Both of us are not familiar with this, so we still need a guide!" Liu Dufeng frowned slightly. He was not afraid of the Blood River Sect's people, but he was worried about the natural environment.
There are hundreds of thousands of mountains in southern Xinjiang. The mountain roads are rugged and filled with miasma and mist. Even an expert in the realm of law, heaven, elephant, and earth will run the risk of getting lost and wandering in them.
Zhuge Zhengwo smiled reservedly, "I still have some friendship with Tang Shengtan, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army."
Tang Shengtan was not the founder of the Shenwu Army. The predecessor founder of the Shenwu Army was Prince Mu of Qianning, who was the adopted son of Taizu. Later, Emperor Taizongwen reorganized the twelve guards into the Sixth Army of the Emperor.
Those who command the Sixth Army are naturally people he trusts. Li Chengen, the commander-in-chief of the Tiance Army, Tang Shengtan, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army, Zhao Xuanli, the deceased commander-in-chief of the Longwu Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Shence Army were all from the Yulin Army.
Zhuge Zhengwo had served as the chief instructor of the 180,000-strong Royal Forest Army when he was young, and he was familiar with these senior generals.
With a guide, things will be much easier to handle. Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng asked a few young people to wait here for other people to arrive.
The two handsome old men headed towards the Shenwu Army camp alone...
——
October 13th, Jinling.
The day after tomorrow is the night of the full moon, the day of the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue.
The bustle in Jinling City seems to be back to when Taizu established the capital, with people coming and going and traffic.
Of course, most of these people are martial arts people, armed with swords. They are also very generous with their money. They drink from big bowls and eat large pieces of meat. They have bold personalities and are rarely prudent.
In just half a month, Jinling City's tourism, catering, accommodation and other related industries have achieved considerable development.
This duel unexpectedly smoothed out the negative impact of the previous Jinling epidemic.
Where there are many people, commerce will develop and merchants will gather.
It was just something Ye Gucheng had never thought of before the duel between Ximen Chuixue.
Of course, these two sword idiots can't think of it now.
Only Mr. Shen Wenshen, the Yin of Jinling Prefecture, was smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. This October's fiscal revenue increased by 140% month-on-month compared with the same period last year. He passed the civil service examination this year and is basically guaranteed to be in the top grade.
…
Although there are so many martial arts people gathering in Jinling City, it does not cause any big security problems.
It can only be attributed to Sikong Zhaixing's hard promotion at the city gate and Ye Gucheng's previous cooperation.
Ye Gucheng defended himself against a murderer on the street and was detained for interrogation and recording. With Yang Qingyuan's deliberate spread, almost everyone knew about it.
People in the Jianghu also know that sitting in Jinling City at the moment is the second in command of the Wudang Sect, the most powerful eagle in the imperial court, and the most loyal minister, Yang Qingyuan.
Compared with the factional struggles in the imperial court, it is much easier for Jianghu people to judge the quality of an official.
In the hearts of people in the world, Yu Yanyi is the most upright official and the most loyal minister. He can govern the country with literature and control the prisoners with military force.
Such a good official was killed by Emperor Xizongli. Emperor Xizongli was definitely an out-and-out coward.
And Yang Qingyuan, a man who eradicated the foolish emperor, comforted the honest officials, and then retreated bravely, naturally became an upright official and a loyal man in the eyes of these people.
The ordinary masters in the martial arts world respected and feared Yang Qingyuan. They respected him for eradicating the weak emperor, helping the country, and protecting the country and the people; they feared him for establishing the Dali Temple and formulating a set of rules for the martial arts people in the world.
However, no matter what they think of Yang Qingyuan, few people in Jinling with him in charge will easily cause trouble.
…
In Jinling City, the envoy was deposed and went to the palace.
A carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the carriage house.
Three young swordsmen jumped down from the roof of the car, each of them still holding half a bun in their hands.
Looking at this scene, the soldiers of the imperial guard were speechless for a while. I really don't know how to describe this scene. It is too outrageous.
"Ye Jianhan, Chief of the Prison Department of Dali Temple!" Ye Jianhan said as he took out a jade plaque from his sleeve to show his identity.
"I've met Mr. Ye in this humble position!" The guards outside the door were all selected from the Royal Forest Army and did not know Ye Jianhan. After confirming Ye Baozi's identity, they immediately saluted.
"Is Marquis Yang in the mansion?!" Ye Jianhan could detect Liu Wangshu's lonely and cold sword intent, but he was unable to detect the energy in Yang Qingyuan's body. Yang Qingyuan was born in a Taoist sect. After entering the Dharma, Heaven and Earth, his Qi gradually blended into nature. If he didn't want to, even the masters of the Dongxuan Realm would not be able to detect it.
The leading guard immediately replied, "Marquis Yang is handling government affairs in the palace. Please excuse me, Chief Ye, and there are two others waiting here."
Wei Zhuang sneered from the side, "Ye Jianhan, you don't have much face!"
"..."
The guard who went to report turned around and didn't take more than two steps when he met a woman in a black skirt, white boots, and a hosta with her hair tied up.
"Miss Liu! Outside the door, Dali Temple Prison Supervisor Ye Sizhu and two people want to see Mr. Yang."
After he finished speaking, Liu Wangshu nodded lightly and said, "Brother Yang already knows that they have arrived. Let me take them in."
"yes!"
The guard followed Liu Wangshu back to the gate.
"Back!" Looking at the carriage outside the door, Liu Wangshu's lips parted lightly, "It seems like we found it."
Ye Jianhan did not dare to remain aloof in front of his eldest sister.
In the past, when he was at Dali Temple, Yang Qingyuan only punished Ye Jianhan too harshly, but if he offended Liu Wangshu, he would be really cruel.
"Xiao Zhuang and Gai Nie are here too!"
When Xiaozhuang heard this, Ergouzi didn't react at all, but obediently agreed.
Not only Ye Jianhan, but also the young Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie were beaten by Liu Wangshu.
Although Gai Nie was proud, he was still polite in his speech, but his behavior was nothing more than excessive.
Ergou was a bit miserable. He was arrogant in body and mind, and he liked to pull out shark teeth at every turn. This behavior made Liu Wangshu very unhappy, and he beat Wei Zhuang countless times.
Liu Wangshu is also different from Yang Qingyuan.
When Yang Qingyuan competed with them in swordplay, he was very measured and would hardly make a heavy move.
As for Liu Wangshu... the last time Wei Zhuang was so miserable was when Black and White Xuanjian beat him.
Liu Wangshu's moon-like eyes glanced at the carriage behind them. This carriage was longer than ordinary carriages, and there was a faint chill in it, mixed with an unconcealable stench.
After following Yang Qingyuan for these years, Liu Wangshu knew it was corpse odor as soon as he smelled it.
"Then bring the bones in! Brother Yang wants to inspect them himself."
Just as Ye Jianhan, Gai Nie, and Wei Zhuang were about to take action, the guards outside the door saw the three people's predicament and immediately stepped forward.
"You three adults, just leave this matter to us. Three of you, please come forward!"
The four guards worked together to lift the coffin. When they just touched it, the four of them immediately got goosebumps.
This coffin revealed a freezing coldness.
"It's done!"
Yang Qingyuan didn't even look up. He was playing chess with Lu Xiaofeng, and Hua Manlou beside him was listening to the two's moves.
"You lost!" Yang Qingyuan fell down, "Lu Xiaoji, I started planning thirty steps ago, you... how can you beat me?!"
It is as clear as God, and the secret of heaven is deeper. I, Yang Qingyuan, should be known as the "Tianji Little Chess Sage".
On the chessboard, the four white stones had already formed a line. No matter how hard the black stones struggled, they could not escape the defeat.
A game of backgammon, played by Lu Xiaofeng and Yang Qingyuan, gave the feeling of a duel between national players, which made Hua Manlou laugh.
Without any foresight, Yang Qingyuan's true level is just a bad chess basket. He can't talk to people about Go at all and can only rely on backgammon to deceive people.
After defeating Lu Xiaofeng, Yang Qingyuan was satisfied and threw the white piece in his hand into the chess basket.
Seeing the coffin, Yang Qingyuan's eyes turned cold for a moment.
He only had 30% expectations that the leader of the Blood River Sect would die, even if it was Li Xunhuan's Little Li Flying Sword that was used.
Yang Qingyuan believed that Xiao Li's flying knife was a good example, but even if Xiao Li's flying knife penetrated the throat of the Blood River Sect Master, Yang Qingyuan still felt that he might survive.
"Boss, this is the autopsy report!"
Yang Qingyuan took Ye Jianhan and looked at it carefully.
"This work is from the Dali Temple Criminal Law College! It's very professional!" The difference between the work from the Dali Temple Criminal Law College and the ordinary work is incalculable.
According to the autopsy report and Ye Jianhan's notes, the wounds on the body were almost the same as those caused by Ye Jianhan, but the wounds could no longer be compared with Ye Jianhan's Canxue.
Looking at the internal injuries he suffered, they were the same as those caused by Zhang Xuanqing and Shi Feixuan.
The decisive evidence is Li Xunhuan's flying knife stuck in his throat. Although this kind of flying knife is made of Fan Tie, it contains the knife spirit that Li Xunhuan has cultivated, and no other person can imitate it.
After reading it, Yang Qingyuan closed his eyes and meditated for a few breaths before speaking.
"Open the coffin!"
