Xitianfu, the school grounds, the wind and clouds are in the sky, and the flags are flying.
A sword chant resounded through the sky, and sword gleams shone coldly in all directions.
Tang Yu was wearing a crimson first-grade official robe, with a tight jade belt and a majestic crown. She held a pair of peach and double swords and danced majestically and full of murderous intent.
Not far from the school grounds, Li Yan, the general who defeated the altar, and Chai Zhou, the general who destroyed the temple, stood side by side, carefully watching Tang Yu's sword dance.
After an unknown amount of time, the murderous sword energy gradually dissipated. Tang Yu put away her swords and stood on the spot, then collected her power and dispersed her energy.
At this time, Li Yan and Chai Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and heard Li Yan say: "Shang Shu's swordsmanship has become more and more exquisite."
Chai Zhou also said: "The stars are moving around, and the sword is as powerful as a rainbow. I'm afraid even the sword master from Shushan can't compare to you, Shangshu."
Tangyu smiled faintly, loosened the wrist restraint, unfolded the long sleeves, then lightly closed the wide sleeves and said: "I have never seen the Shushan Sword Master, so it's not easy to compare, but in this Xiniu Hezhou, my Kendo should have a place.”
"Definitely number one in Xiniu Hezhou." Li Yan said immediately.
Chai Zhou also answered: "If Shangshu is not number one, then who can be number one?"
"Okay, okay." Tangyu waved her hand and said, "What's the report today?"
Li Yan said: "As reported to the Minister, Buddhism has summoned 150,000 Buddhist disciples from the True Immortal Realm from Xiniu Hezhou to Nanzhan Buzhou."
"Oh?" Tang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "I remember that we just summoned 200,000 True Immortal Realm disciples ten days ago, right?"
"Yes." Li Yan said: "But the war in Nanzhan Buzhou was not going well, so we summoned another 150,000 people."
Tang Yu couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "I'm afraid that Xiniu Hezhou doesn't have many disciples to recruit."
Li Yan also smiled and said: "When we first fought against Daomen, the main forces that could be mobilized have basically been mobilized, and now we are drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."
Tang Yu said: "The first time was 200,000 yuan, and the second time was 150,000 yuan. It can't be regarded as drawing out the firepower. At most, it can only be regarded as tearing down the west to make up for the south."
"But among the Buddhist temples in Xiniuhezhou, there are not many monks left in the True Immortal Realm." Li Yan said.
Tang Yu's eyes narrowed and she said, "Is this news accurate?"
"This is what I saw with my own eyes when I was supervising various temples in the lower realm of Tianluyuan. The number of True Immortal Realm monks in Xiniu Hezhou Land Buddhist Temple is very rare. Some of them don't even have a single True Immortal Realm disciple. There has been a gap. ." Li Yan said.
Tang Yu then turned to Chai Zhou and asked, "Where are you? How is the situation?"
Chai Zhou cupped his hands and said: "Similar to General Fan Tan, the Buddhist monks here in Xiaguan have tried their best to recruit Buddhist monks from the True Immortal Realm from Xiniu Hezhou."
"It seems that our heavenly army's offensive is very strong." Tang Yu said slowly.
Li Yan said: "The general envoy of the expedition is Erlang Zhenjun, the recognized war god of the three realms, and there are more than two million heavenly soldiers from the True Immortal Realm. Not to mention the Buddhist sect, the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect may not be able to withstand them together."
When Tang Yu thought of the more than two million heavenly soldiers in the True Immortal Realm, her scalp felt numb. That was the True Immortal Realm! Moreover, they are well-trained true fairyland heavenly soldiers. Only the heavenly court can afford such terrifying power.
Taoist and Buddhist sects also want to do this, but they can only think about it, because they cannot have the advantage of the 'three realms master' like Heaven to obtain so many resources. Moreover, Taoism and Buddhism are, to put it bluntly, a sect with a master-disciple relationship as the link, and there are various 'sects' within the sect. It is completely different from the immortal official system in Heaven, so it is destined to be unable to achieve such a high degree of concentration of power and authority as in Heaven.
After all, there are many Buddhas and many deities, but there is only one and only one 'Xuan Qiong Gao Jade Emperor'.
Besides, there are also many True Immortal Realm monks from Buddhist and Taoist sects, but the previous Nanzhan Continent has lost most of them in decades of tug-of-war. Now they are facing more than two million True Immortal Realm monks with high morale and strict training and cultivation by Heavenly Court. Heavenly soldiers in fairyland.
"However, having more than two million heavenly soldiers will naturally have advantages in fighting against Buddhism and Xuanjiao. But as it gradually advances, if people are to be left to guard various places, even more than two million heavenly soldiers will definitely not be enough." Chai Zhou guessed: "Perhaps heaven will recruit heavenly soldiers again soon."
Tang Yu said: "Let's not talk about this for now. You go and write a memorial to sort out the matter of Buddhism recruiting disciples from the True Immortal Realm in Hezhou, Xiniu. I will present it to Tianjun. This information may be useful to him."
"Yes." Li Yan and Chai Zhou heard this and immediately bowed and sang.
Tang Yu's memorial was not useful, it was too useful. The first thing Fang Jian did when he got the memorial was to lament that it was a great move for him to establish this 'Tianluyuan'.
With the name of Tianluyuan, Xitian Mansion can monitor the major Buddhist temples in Xiniu Hezhou for extremely legitimate and aboveboard reasons, thereby obtaining this extremely core information.
If there were no Tianluyuan, your generals from the West Tianfu would always go to the major temples to inspect and investigate, which would definitely arouse the vigilance and concealment of those Buddhist temples.
But things are different now. With the name of Tianluyuan, generals who destroy altars and generals who destroy temples can go to major Buddhist temples anytime and anywhere to call their names. As long as the Buddhist monks whose names are called do not show up, the abbot and abbot of the Buddhist temple must give a name. Reason, otherwise Tianluyuan will conduct an 'investigation' on your Buddhist temple. After all, a good Buddhist god, how can he disappear just because he said he didn't see him? Do you want to do something secretly?
Therefore, those Buddhist temples dare not hide it at all. With such a large number of true immortal monks disappearing, no matter how good the excuse you make up, they will not be able to get away with it.
Besides, Buddhist precepts cannot be used to lie. The full name of Tianluyuan is "Tianluyinyuan". It not only governs Tianjuan, but also manages Buddhist precepts. If you dare to violate Buddhist precepts, Tianluyuan can still deal with you.
Therefore, in the face of this situation, major Buddhist temples did not dare to hide anything and could only tell the truth.
But for those abbots and abbots, this kind of thing is not a big deal to be honest. These Buddhist disciples are all participating in the war in Nanzhan Buzhou. You, Tianluyuan, have nothing to do with this, so you can just say it.
Therefore, Tangyu's memorial to Dao Fangjian recorded in detail the number of Buddhist monks from Xiniu Hezhou True Immortal Realm who were transferred by Buddhism.
After receiving the memorial, Fang Jian attached great importance to it and immediately forwarded it to the headquarters of the Nanzhan Buzhou Expedition General Office and handed it over to Erlang Shen.
After Erlang Shen saw the memorial, he immediately knew that another 150,000 Buddhist monks from the True Immortal Sect had joined the Nanzhan Buzhou battlefield. He immediately issued an order to the six marshals on the front line, asking them not to attack too fast, to beware of lone troops going deep, and to be careful at all times. Pay attention to the changes in the number of people on the opposite side.
When Erlang Shen's edict reached Nezha, his left forward 30,000 heavenly soldiers had already captured Laojun Mountain and were setting up a "thick earth and rock formation" in Laojun Mountain.
The heavenly general who commanded these 30,000 heavenly soldiers was one of the seventy-two earthly evil generals, "Earth Dog Star Chen Menggen". Chen Menggeng ordered people to bury the bodies of the Buddhist disciples in Laojun Mountain on the spot, and then ordered the talisman to bring out the brilliance of the Dharma and the light. The earth vein seal in Laojun Mountain was opened.
"Send the order to set up the formation as soon as possible." Chen Menggeng said to his three subordinates, Du Yuhou, who were in the Taiyi Xuanxian realm.
"Yes." The three Yuhous immediately raised their hands and accepted their orders.
At this time, a heavenly soldier came to Chen Menggeng and said: "Report to the evil general, the underworld soldiers are coming to collect the souls."
Chen Menggeng nodded and said: "Everything is business as usual."
Historically, conquests in heaven have been carried out firstly to show power and punish disobedient officials, and secondly to promote virtue and educate all sentient beings. Therefore, during the conquests, only the physical body was killed, but the soul was not destroyed.
This is not only the case in Heavenly Court, even if the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism, and Xuanjiao have been fighting in Nanzhan Buzhou for decades, both sides have suffered countless casualties, but they have never destroyed the enemy's soul in the battle, but left a glimmer of hope.
Although there is still a true spirit in the soul, the true spirit needs to be cultivated again, which requires countless time and massive resources. Even if the cultivation is successful, it will be thousands of years before the soul can return to the immortal world.
But leaving the soul is different. If you leave the soul behind, you can be reincarnated directly. If you are lucky, you will have the fate to re-enter the Tao in the second life.
Even if you are unlucky, you can regain your destiny even after ten reincarnations. Only heretics and true demons will destroy people's souls at every turn. Even Xuanjiao, a sect not recognized by heaven, adheres to this bottom line.
Therefore, during the conquest of Nanzhan Continent, in addition to the two fighting parties, there were also underworld soldiers who shuttled across the battlefields from time to time. They collected the souls of the heavenly soldiers and Buddhist disciples, and then brought them back to the underworld for centralized placement. .
At this moment, an ultimatum messenger descended on Laojun Mountain in the clouds, found Chen Mengeng and said: "To General Disha, the Marshal of Suppressing Demons has an edict to pass down."
After saying that, the ultimatum envoy immediately handed over the edict with both hands.
Chen Menggeng immediately took the edict and unfolded it, then frowned, "One hundred and fifty thousand True Immortal Realm monks will join the Nanzhan Buzhou battlefield?"
Chen Menggeng closed the edict, then called a Du Yuhou and asked: "Have the patrol scouts been sent out?"
Du Yuhou said: "They have all been sent out."
"Is there any reply?" Chen Mengeng asked.
Du Yuhou said: "There is no reply yet, General Tian, what happened?"
Chen Menggen handed the edict in his hand to Du Yuhou and said: "The Demon-Suppressing Marshal said that Buddhism has transferred 150,000 Buddhist monks from Xiniu Hezhou to join the battle in Nanzhan Buzhou. Let us be careful."
After reading the edict, Du Yuhou smiled and said: "General Tian, don't worry, we have already checked before. Within a thousand miles of Laojun Mountain, there is only this Buddhist monk army in Laojun Mountain."
Chen Menggeng said: "False and real changes, the flow of water is invisible, but we should not be careless. Send the order and order all the heavenly soldiers to occupy their positions and act. If there is any change, they can immediately prepare to meet the enemy in battle formation."
"Your order." Du Yuhou accepted the order with his hands raised.
But at the moment Du Yuhou turned around, the void around Laojun Mountain suddenly rippled, and then there was only a loud bang, followed by the void shattering, and then more than a hundred huge golden handprints appeared out of thin air. , crashing down towards Laojun Mountain from all directions.
When Chen Mengeng saw this scene, he immediately shouted loudly: "It's the Buddhist magical power 'Great Thousand Mudra'. Hurry, form a formation to meet the enemy!"
There are two types of 'formations' in heaven. One is the formation that captures the creation of heaven and earth. This formation does not require much manpower, but requires a large formation based on a 'formation base'. The defensive power of this formation is extremely powerful. A Taiyi Xuanxian-level formation can withstand the attacks of at least ten Golden Immortals as long as the power of Tribulation Jade or Earth Veins is continuously supplied for the operation of the formation. However, it is difficult to arrange and set up. It takes a long time.
The other is formed by the physical magic power of the heavenly soldiers. This formation is not actually called a formation, but a 'battle formation'. This kind of battle formation does not require the help of the power of heaven and earth, but the people who form the formation. The strengths are coordinated and gathered together to exert more powerful power.
Although this kind of battle formation can gather the power of the crowd, it is still much inferior to the formation method. Moreover, as long as one of the people forming the formation dies, the battle formation will lose coordination and reveal its flaws. However, the advantage is that the formation is quickly formed. , as long as the heavenly soldiers have adequate training and sufficient tacit understanding, they can form formations to face the enemy in a very short period of time.
So Chen Menggeng just gave an order, and the 30,000 heavenly soldiers in Laojun Mountain immediately formed 3,000 small battle formations uniformly.
