Southern Xinjiang.
The terrain of Eagle Snake Mountain is extremely dangerous. When the Blood River Sect chose to rebuild here, they wanted to take advantage of the terrain and achieve great power in the world.
The mountain of eagles and snakes is nourished with blood.
The eagle turns into a dead phoenix, and the snake soars into the bone dragon.
When martial arts was in the Yuan Hua realm, it was still a very scientific martial arts. All training progress had laws to follow. It was a science of developing the body's potential.
But when you get to the gate of Dongxuan Realm, you change from science to metaphysics.
This is a Taoist concept. To explain it in Taoist terms, Dongxuan means cultivating the body and keeping the center, keeping the emptiness and stillness, and keeping oneness. Naturally, one can see the orifice of the entrance and observe the mysterious and wonderful things. This is called Dongxuan.
Qingyuan Daomiao, the younger brother of Wudang Sect Zhenwu Taoist Master, believes that in the Dongxuan realm, one can see oneself and develop one's own mysteries in order to prepare for the connection between heaven and earth.
The realm of Dharma, Heaven and Earth means seeing the heaven and earth, recognizing the insignificance of human beings, and seeing the vastness of heaven and earth. There is a world in the heart, and both heaven and earth are wide.
Qingyuan Zhenren has not yet reached the realm of heaven and man, but he believes that the sixth realm of Taoism is to see all living beings.
Once you have seen yourself and seen heaven and earth again, you will definitely return to the world of sentient beings.
Of course, this set of explanations may not apply to demon sects such as the Blood River Sect, but the power of heaven and earth must also be beneficial to the warriors of the Blood River Sect. Otherwise, they would not waste time and effort to combine the forces of heaven and earth with the formation of Liuhe.
It took Yang Qingyuan and others two full months to eradicate all the Blood River Sect branches in southern Xinjiang.
It is easy to remove the poisonous tumor, but difficult to remove the remaining poison.
The Blood River Sect has been dormant and developed in the mountains of Southern Xinjiang for who knows how many years. It has even become a part of the lives of the people in Southern Xinjiang. It is extremely difficult to eliminate it.
But Yang Qingyuan didn't dare to let it go.
The most terrifying thing about the Blood River Sect is not the technique, but the human heart.
Even if the core skills of the Blood River Sect were destroyed by him, as long as those who have practiced the Blood River magic are still alive, they will try their best to restore and perfect the Blood River magic.
Plunder always self-development comes fast!
"These two months have not been wasted! There is no trace of the Blood River Evil Sect in the southern border!" Zhang Xuanqing, an old Taoist priest, couldn't help but sigh.
The Tianshi Mansion controls the Five Thunder Methods, and eradicating evil spirits is the proper purpose of the Tianshi Mansion, but the two months of hard work still left a deep impression on Zhang Xuanqing's memory.
After wiping out the Blood River Sect's main altar, Zhang Xuanqing thought that the remaining people were just scabies. He never expected that these Blood River Sect disciples would become even crazier after losing hope.
There are those who use their own flesh and blood to reverse the Dafa and want to die together;
There are those who are lurking in secret, waiting for opportunities to assassinate;
There are those who go on a killing spree and massacre civilians;
There are those who develop highly toxic substances and destroy water sources...
After Yang Qingyuan and others set the tone that "no one who practices Blood River evil arts will be forgiven," the disciples of the Blood River Sect fell into a state of rage.
The people in the court were okay, they saw a lot of vicious criminals. Although the people of the Blood River Sect are bloodthirsty and perverted, they are still within the acceptable range.
But Taoist disciples are different. They have been cultivating for a long time, have insufficient experience in worldly affairs, and are still naive. Some of them even hold objections, believing that everything has two sides of yin and yang, that people have good and evil, that there is sun and moon in the sky, and that there is light and shadow in the world. Therefore, there may not necessarily be good people among the disciples of the Blood River Sect.
This argument has also received some support.
Later, Yang Qingyuan, Zhang Xuanqing and others explained the dangers of the Blood River Sect in depth.
The Blood River Sect's evil technique - temporarily called "Blood River Qi Refining Technique", needs to be practiced with the innate blood energy of babies. One practice can save two lives.
Therefore, none of those who practice Blood River Qi Refining Technique is a good person, and cannot even be called a human being.
It was not until Yang Qingyuan conducted an in-depth analysis of the Blood River Evil Sect that some of the opposition in the Taoist sect was eliminated.
As for whether this was in line with Yang Qingyuan's philosophy, when he truly stood at the height of the imperial court, Yang Qingyuan found that he had a new perspective on politics and law.
Law is the source of government, and law is the handle of governance.
On the Blue Star where Yang Qingyuan studied in his previous life, politics and law were basically inseparable.
Chinese Politics and Law, Central and South China Politics and Law, Southwest, East China, and Northwest China.
None of the five academies are named after the independent word "fa".
The two have always been closely linked, with law as the basis for administration and politics as the purpose of law.
A lawless government is a chaotic government, and a lawless government is a rootless tree.
The purpose of legislation is to enable the people of the world to live a better life, and to achieve long-term peace and stability for the court.
Those who the Blood River Sect stands on the opposite side need to be exterminated.
This is a life and death struggle.
With his vision reaching this point, Yang Qingyuan no longer sticks to the "law" itself.
From the small to the big, from the micro to the macro.
Although Yang Qingyuan's martial arts has not improved quantitatively, his state of mind has improved to a higher level.
…
Although the operation to annihilate the Blood River Sect was fruitful and a large number of Blood River Sect disciples were strangled, Yang Qingyuan still felt vaguely that something was wrong.
"Master Hou, your behavior these days is a bit strange!" Liu Dufeng was Yang Qingyuan's direct descendant and reported it directly to Yang Qingyuan.
"Huh?! Is it so obvious?!" Yang Qingyuan did not deny it, but asked instead.
Liu Dufeng nodded. His martial arts had reached their level, and his observation of the surroundings was unrivaled.
Although Yang Qingyuan's strange behavior was well concealed, several people in Fa Tian Xiang Di Realm were aware of it.
"Junior Brother Qingyuan is uneasy because of the Blood River magic?!" Xiaoyaozi's face was slightly solemn.
According to the records in the handwriting, after the last Blood River War, some people in the martial arts world experienced the power and rapid progress of the Blood River Sect's martial arts. Therefore, their Taoist hearts were turbulent and they had evil thoughts. They also wanted to practice the Blood River Qi Refining Technique, which caused There was quite a commotion.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the turmoil was put down in time.
In Xiaoyaozi's view, Yang Qingyuan's cultivation has been smooth sailing. Without enough experience, it is easy for him to lose his Taoist heart and be attracted by the blood river evil spell.
However, Yang Qingyuan was not abnormal because of this. He had not been practicing for a long time, but his experience was more than that of the world.
Yang Qingyuan has experienced life and death, being an official, commanding the three armies, having power over the world, and being free in the world.
The Heart-Questioning Trial in the Dongxuan Realm almost caused him to completely fall into the inner demons.
When it comes to the tenacity of the Taoist heart, Yang Qingyuan is no worse than Xiaoyaozi, and is even better.
"Senior Brother Xiaoyao, I am not troubled by the Blood River Qi Refining Technique. I have seen this evil technique at the foot of Wudang Mountain many years ago. At this time, the evil technique cannot shake my mind. What really worries me is this extermination operation. itself."
Those present were all high-level martial arts leaders in the Central Plains martial arts world, like the Dao Jin and others. Although Buddhism and Taoism were different, the two sides were highly consistent in dealing with the Blood River Sect.
"Brother Qingyuan, please clarify your doubts!" The one who spoke was Zhuge Zhengwo, the Sixty-Fifth Divine Lord.
Yang Qingyuan did not hide it and asked directly, "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Xiaoyao, and Master Lingjin, the three seniors of the sect all participated in the last Battle of Blood River. There should be records about the Battle of Blood River in the sect. Bar!"
"Mr. Zhuge, your respected master Wei Qing Qingqing should have been involved in the last bloody river battle. You should also know something about it!"
Zhang Xuanqing nodded and said, "At that time, the world was in chaos. The Blood River Evil Sect swept the world. The good and evil sides launched a desperate battle. After this battle, the Blood River Sect was destroyed. The righteous path was also severely damaged. Facing Hou Jin and Beigan who went south, , it is difficult to form much resistance at the martial arts level."
Yang Qingyuan looked at everyone, "When you heard this, didn't you notice anything wrong?!"
All the masters of Dharma, Heaven, Elephant and Earth Realm looked at each other, as if nothing was wrong!
"We won too easily!"
Yang Qingyuan's words were like a ray of light tearing apart the clouds and falling straight down.
Jie Jin, Xiaoyaozi, and Zhang Xuanqing, who knew the Blood River Sect the most, all had looks of surprise on their faces. Zhuge Zheng and I also heard about it and noticed something was wrong.
Only Liu Dufeng acted like a fool, "Is it easy to win?!"
Liu Dufeng didn't feel it at all. He and Zhuge Zhengyi had been ambushed and hunted in the Shiwan Mountain. They didn't get the easy point at all.
Zhang Xuanqing looked a little ugly, "In the Battle of Blood River that year, although the masters of the Blood River Sect were wiped out, as many as 60% of the masters of the righteous sects were martyred, and some like my master and uncle died of serious injuries. , and then died."
Xiaoyaozi added, "Not only the top masters, but also the elite backbones of various sects have suffered heavy losses. Many sects have declined as a result."
The most typical representative among them is the Huashan Sect. This is the first large-scale severance of the martial arts inheritance of the Huashan Sect. After this battle, the Huashan Sect ranked last among the eight major sects.
After the sword energy battle, the Huashan Sect was almost at the same level as the other four mountains.
"Now let's look at our operation, Lao Liu, do you still find it difficult?!"
Although Liu Dufeng did not experience the Blood River Battle that year, it is not difficult to deduce from everyone's words that if it had been the intensity of the first Blood River Battle, the grass on his and Zhuge Zheng's graves would have sprouted green buds by now.
This time during the encirclement and suppression of the Blood River remnants in southern Xinjiang, the Shaolin Sect suffered the greatest losses. Shaolin Sandu's Vajra Demon Subduing Circle could trap Fa Tianxiang in the realm. Three people died at the hands of the Blood River Sect elders. The Renzong also lost a Dongxuan Realm master.
But in Fa Tian Xiang Di Realm, no one died, Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng were only poisoned.
Jie Jin and Zhang Xuanqing were only seriously injured.
Comparing the two battles, this blood river extermination battle seems like a piece of cake.
"Old Liu, do you still remember the masters who surrounded you and Mr. Zhuge in the village that day?! One of them used the Xiaoyao sect's martial arts. Where are his traces?! The other one taught Shaolin's unique skills. Where is he now? Where?!"
Yang Qingyuan's words aroused the thinking of everyone present. It seemed that their eyes were covered by something before, but they subconsciously ignored these questions.
At this time, when Yang Qingyuan mentioned it, everyone woke up from a dream.
Not only them, but Yang Qingyuan has always seemed to be blinded by confusion, making it difficult to see the truth. It was not until today when he turned around that he used his power to break the illusion and use his sword of wisdom to break through the confusion.
"The blood that permeates the Eagle Snake Mountain seems harmless, but in fact it is already affecting us."
When martial arts reached their level, it was no longer possible to have an impact on all of them. It could only be done through the use of terrain and mountains.
"Also, the chief protector of the Blood River Sect once fought against me in Shu, and this time we fought with the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh elders of the Blood River Sect. What about the remaining ones?! Blood River Where is the great elder?!"
The more Yang Qingyuan spoke, the more solemn everyone's expressions became. These originally simple things turned out to be something they had never expected...
"The poor monk suggested that we should stay away from Eagle Snake Mountain for the time being. This mountain is really weird and creepy." All the monks thought it was outrageous.
Feng Shui formation master Xiaoyaozi frowned. He asked himself that he had already destroyed all the formation veins in the Eagle Snake Mountain. How could this be possible? !
"Since the truth cannot be found out at this moment, I agree to stay away from this strange mountain for the time being."
The ultimate idea won the support of everyone, and the righteous masters originally stationed near Eagle Snake Mountain began to slowly evacuate.
…
——
Yanmen, the right camp of Longwu Army.
On the feeling of an infantryman being targeted by a long-range rocket launcher.
Now the sentry on the Longwu Army sentry tower has experienced this feeling.
The Tianji City Breaking Crossbow is not just a larger crossbow.
Although the sentry tower built by Zhao Tianlin is not as lethal as the arrow tower, it plays a more important role than the arrow tower.
Wang Cong's two attacks were resolved in time by the sentry tower's summons.
If there were not these sentry towers, then Wang Cong's two attacks just now would definitely have good results, at least they would be much stronger than now, and they would have a lot of blow to the morale of the Longwu Army.
Because of the advance warning, the two attacks had little effect, but instead boosted the morale of the Longwu Army.
Wang Cong then became fierce and wanted to destroy these sentry towers with the city-breaking crossbow.
When did the sentries of the Longwu Army receive such treatment? !
The Tianji City-Breaking Crossbow is different from the ordinary bed crossbow. It has extremely high strategic value. Not only is it powerful and has a long range, but it is also extremely accurate.
The number of generals of Houjin and Yuanmeng who were killed by Tianji's City-Breaking Crossbow could not be counted with both hands. Some people even shot Yuanmeng's forward generals with Tianji's City-Breaking Crossbow.
Generally used to shoot high strategic targets or defeat enemy formations.
Although the crossbow gun of Tianji Breaking City Crossbow is specially made, it is not valuable, but its bowstring is extremely precious.
It must be hand-woven from high-quality beef tendons that are intact and not broken at all, mixed with various materials. An ordinary craftsman may not be able to make one in a month.
The Tianji Crossbow must be operated with a winch when firing with the power of twenty-eight raging bulls. Every arrow shot causes considerable damage to the bowstring.
The sentry on the Longwu Army's sentry tower felt that he was so virtuous and capable that he could enjoy the treatment of a general in the army.
As the sentries conveyed the movement of Tianji's city-breaking crossbow, the right battalion general Zhao Wu also issued an order to retreat.
Although these guard towers are built very solidly, they definitely cannot withstand the fire of Tianji's city-breaking crossbow.
We cannot let these sentinels die in vain.
Not long after the sentries were withdrawn, crossbow arrows from Tianji's city-breaking crossbows followed one after another. Two of the sentry towers were directly shot down by the crossbows. The falling pieces of wood and iron shields injured several soldiers below.
Seeing that the sentry tower was destroyed, Wang Cong's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
The feeling of being watched every move just now was so uncomfortable, now I can let go and have a big fight!
