Withered yellow autumn grass sticks to the cold ground, crushed together with tiny bits of frost. Thousands of hill-like one-horned thunder bulls raise their heads alertly. After panicking, they raise their hooves and rush towards the distance like a torrent. .
The earth trembled under their trampling, and the people of the Day tribe watched them go away, as if they were rushing into the setting sun.
The afterglow gradually faded away, and the darkness of the wasteland came in an instant.
Gu Hanxing, who was lying on a black cloud, couldn't help but yawn. At first, he followed the day tribe and kept his feet on the ground, clarifying his mind through walking asceticism. Not to mention, it was really useful, but he persisted for a month and felt that it was not much. Meaning, I started to be lazy openly.
"How long will it take?" He propped up his elbows and lay on his side on the black clouds. The night in the wilderness was so dark that when he looked at the ground, he couldn't even see any shadows.
Suddenly, the wind picked up, and the rumbling trampling sound grew from weak to strong, and became like thunder in a few seconds. The group of one-horned thunder cows came back again.
With the protection of their dozen or so strongest life and death realms, no one has rushed forward to disturb this team heading west. However, except for blocking some people who are dying, they have not interfered too much in the process, including in these natural environments. of danger.
The fur of the One-Horned Thunder Bull is dark blue, with electric arcs flowing around it, as if it were covered with armor. Its body shape is even larger than that of a mountain. Contrary to its majestic and fierce appearance, they have a little bit of courage.
Otherwise, how could these behemoths run away when they sensed the approach of the Sun Clan.
They fled with great momentum, and now they charged with great momentum, as if countless chariots occupying the entire sky were about to crush the Sun Clan.
The iron hoofs rumbled, and the air was full of chills, hanging at the end. The monks who were not good at it were already weak, but when they thought that the danger they encountered before had been solved by the clan leader, it would not affect them, and they felt relieved again.
Am I dragging you along, or are you defending me?
Along the way, Zhan Changfeng has been thinking about the future institutional system and the relationship between monarch and ministers, monarch and people. She doesn't like the phrase "one person can achieve enlightenment and a chicken or dog ascends to heaven", and she doesn't want the monks behind her and the future country to serve her alone.
If she simply wanted to become a Supreme Saint and the most powerful person in the sky, it might be more convenient to go alone.
But she didn't want to.
What she wants is to show her thoughts to the world, and her will is the immortal rule. She wants her name to be hidden, her identity erased, and she to disappear from the eyes of the world, all things will still rise and fall under her rules. Reincarnation.
This was the most worthwhile thing she could think of to spend her time and energy on.
Everyone is in the Tao, everyone yearns for the Tao, but the Tao has no words. Zhan Changfeng wants to get close to this Tao and become this Tao. After thinking about it, she clearly understands her position in the Sun Clan and the future kingdom. .
She will rule everything with her thoughts instead of using force to become the object of dependence and worship of everyone.
She would be the center of it all, and only the center. When a country is founded, it is ultimately for the people, and the people should be allowed to fight and enjoy.
Zhan Changfeng only blocked the most powerful one-horned thunder bull king. The black thunder bulls bypassed her and rushed towards the day tribe. Lian Wei and others were slightly surprised. They each used their own tricks and tacitly intercepted a group of powerful ones. A powerful and fierce bull.
Moo!
In the chaos, one-horned thunder bulls passed over them one by one, and crashed into the people of the Day tribe behind them like giant millstones.
"Shaking Light Corps, kill!"
"Qin Gun Company, form up!"
"Follow me to protect the disciples from Bailian Camp!"
"Jackdaws, sprint forward!"
The commanders of each barracks gave calm orders, and blood flowers fell in the darkness. The anger and lamentation of the one-horned thunder bull filled everyone's ears.
Zhan Changfeng killed the One-Horned Thunder Ox King with one sword. He looked back and saw that they were fighting endlessly. The Qin Gun Company and the Jackdaw Soldiers, two units that had practiced military exercises, also showed extraordinary combat power.
The military training technique connects all the practitioners, and one plus one no longer equals two. Let's look at the Qin Qiang group dancing with their spears, the power is overwhelming, and they are advancing like a crushing force. The jackdaw soldiers are like ghosts, and the scimitars are falling together. Kill on sight of blood.
At midnight, the few remaining one-horned thunder bulls fled one after another.
"Clan leader, someone is injured and needs to take a break for healing!"
"The injured will stay, and the others will continue on their way." Zhan Changfeng looked towards the clouds, "Fellow Daoist Gu, can you stay and take care of me?"
"good."
"Why did this group of one-horned thunder cows suddenly return to attack us? There may be something wrong." Yu Sheng said.
"No matter what the problem, you have to go on."
Zhan Changfeng continued to lead people westward, and encountered several waves of ferocious beasts on the way.
There was indeed something unusual, as if someone deliberately drove these ferocious beasts towards the Day Clan, but this man was very well hidden, and they could not deviate from the route to find this person, so they could only passively kill the attacking ferocious beasts.
Ten days later, the coast appeared at the end, and they walked along the coast again, slowly measuring the entire northern border.
Lianwei thought something was wrong. If she followed this route, she would inevitably encounter the Moonlight Delta. If she didn't include the Moonlight Delta into the territory, she would soon have to take a diversion to avoid it. If she wanted to include it into the territory, she would have to pass through it. , but this is impossible.
The Moonlight Delta is a forbidden area that no one can enter safely, let alone come out alive.
Lianwei did not raise any questions directly. She believed that Zhan Changfeng had his own judgment.
However, in fact, Zhan Changfeng was not sure whether he wanted to bypass the Moonlight Delta, which was theoretically designated within the territory of the Day tribe.
To preview the imperial path, it is best to follow the boundaries of the territory exactly. If you miss one place, the technique will be missing a corner and will easily fail.
It's just that the Moonlight Delta is special, and she's not sure about entering it, so she prefers to avoid it.
For other people, this may be an ordinary and arduous trek, but for Zhan Changfeng, this road is filled with choices that reflect the future. In the process of making choices, she perfects her own Tao. A predetermined world-unifying system that fixes leaks. Predicts the difficulty of the imperial Tao.
And every choice she makes will be reflected to this world by rehearsing the art of the emperor's way, hoping to be recognized or inspired.
Therefore, the important point is not whether to circumvent or not, but what mentality and intention she uses to decide whether to circumvent or not.
The land shrouded by the aurora was getting closer and closer, and Zhan Changfeng's mind became more and more ethereal. She could clearly sense the power it radiated, as if a giant hand was pinching the land, calling it The creatures in the earth suffocated and died.
But now, it is within her territory, and she declares it to belong to her. No matter how dangerous it is, it is just a secret place that she cannot enter temporarily.
Zhan Changfeng finally decided to avoid it, not to abandon it, but to avoid it strategically.
When she made this decision, she felt something different. She couldn't help but slow down and observe the blowing wind, the swaying blades of grass, and the rolling sand and stones. She seemed to get close to them all at once.
The world appeared in front of her. Zhan Changfeng realized this and was sincerely happy.
Go around the Moonlight Delta and continue along the border.
On the way, Shuo Yu and Zuo Zhuzhi also caught up, bringing unexpected bad news.
Shuo Yu looked at Zhan Changfeng, whom he hadn't seen for many years, and a group of people he didn't know. He was so excited that he couldn't find the opening remarks, so he calmly said, "The checkpoints in this place are very strict. We were stopped and questioned when we came here. ”
Zhan Changfeng looked in the direction he came from, which was the Fanhe Plain.
The tribes in the Fanhe Plain are in their own camps, and there are no barriers set up to stop the powerful people in the life and death realm.
She transformed into Qianliu Jutsu, and the scene inside shocked everyone.
"Fan He's tribe marched into the north?"
"Those are Marquis Jinchi's troops, right?"
Zhan Changfeng thought that they would not enter the northern territory for no reason. There was a high probability that someone recognized that she was rehearsing the imperial way, and because she was too powerful to do anything, they wanted to occupy her territory. Preview failed.
"Yu Sheng, go and see what's going on, Hua Jianci. Shuo Yu, you guys will lead the Yaoguang Corps and accompany you."
When everyone heard this, it was clear that this group wanted to start a fight if they could not negotiate peace.
On the other side, a large tent was erected on the boundary between the Fanhe Plain and the northern border, and 80,000 tribal soldiers were standing ready.
There were nearly thirty people sitting in a circle in the tent, including the leaders of the twenty-one tribes, Marquis of Jinchi, Lao Yanyu Zhenjun, and a young man sitting at the same table as Qi Huan, wearing a feather fan and silk scarf, and was polite and polite .
The Twenty-One Tribes presented Shen Buping's speech, and Shen Buping smiled bitterly. On one side was the Day Clan, who might be able to destroy an entire tribe with just one person, and on the other side were the respected envoys from the two continents. Neither of them could be easily offended.
After weighing the balance, they agreed to lend 80,000 troops to Qi Huan and that man. They thought that after all the troops were lent, they could stay in their own tribes, but who would have thought that they would be "invited" to come to the Communist Party again with explicit and implicit orders? Business matters.
What is negotiable?
The Twenty-One Tribe asked Shen Buping to be the spokesperson, but Shen Buping said nothing. What could he say? Is what he said useful?
Neither of the two people above were natives of the wasteland, so it was not appropriate to speak first at this time, so Jinchi Hou condensed his anger and said loudly, "When did our wasteland become so desolate, allowing outsiders to occupy such a large piece of land as a back garden?" ?”
"We, the people of the wasteland, must not encourage her arrogance, and we must take back the northern territory!" Marquis Jinchi raised his hand, "Young Master Jingyao does not need to be introduced. This is the envoy Yu from Donglin. You are also willing to help us!”
"In this battle, we must unite as one and drive the outsiders out of the wasteland!"
Nonsense, if these two people were really just helping hands, would they sit at the top?
It’s pure lies with your eyes open!
Shen Buping knew that they were heading towards Zhan Changfeng's Day Clan, but what the hell was it none of their business that they had to be dragged into the water for a justifiable reason?
"Master Marquis," Shen Buping said heartily, "There are not many people in the northern border to begin with. We don't lose anything because our territory has been occupied."
"Stupid!" Marquis Jinchi shouted, "There is nothing in the north. Isn't it even weirder that she occupies that land?"
"Her real target is you Fanhe tribe. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. They hold the bad ones, so why don't they miss you more good ones?"
"Look again, does she need supplies when she stays in that secluded place? Does the supplies going back and forth have to pass through the plains? If one day she comes up with a reason for missing supplies, she will kill you immediately. Come on. Why cry!"
.....The leaders of the twenty-one tribes whispered to each other. The words were a bit crude, but they seemed to make sense!
Shen Buping listened to the messages one by one and replied angrily, "Whatever makes sense is not right at all. They are a marquis, a young master, and an envoy. They will only care about whether we will be destroyed when they are full. It’s obvious that they want to use us as gunmen!”
If I had known from the beginning, I should not have been forced by the pressure and the conditions provided by Jin Chihou and others to lend 80,000 troops.
Shen Buping simply acted like a rogue and cried miserably, "The one with the surname Zhan alone is so strong, let alone a True Lord beside her. Among the people in the realm of life and death, I am different. I am the only one in my tribe." A leader who can be considered a strong one. If I die, what will happen to the people of my tribe? I have lent my soldiers to you. You can make the decision if you have anything to do. I am sorry that the little disciple I just accepted is only six years old. I can’t die so early. Master."
"...Stop it!" Marquis Jin Chi said straight to the point, "You just need to show your face, there is no need for you to take action!"
Co-author and let them show off their appearance?
That doesn't work either. When people attack a city and surround a mansion, the first thing they knock down is the facade.
Marquis Jinchi finally got fed up and sent them away, "If they don't show up, how will they get the manpower to occupy the land?"
The Marquis of Jin Chi wanted to use Qi Huan and Yu Xu who suddenly came to interrupt Zhan Changfeng's rehearsal of the imperial path. With these two people, he forced the Twenty-One Tribes to cause trouble for the Day Tribe and provoked a fight between the Twenty-One Tribes and the Day Tribe. The conflicts between the clans have left the Day clan isolated and helpless in the icy wasteland, hampering its development.
I didn’t expect that the Twenty-One Tribe would be so cowardly.
Qi Huan looked like he was staying out of the matter.
Zhan Changfeng's move made him feel a little anxious, but in the icy wasteland, his power was not enough to deal with her, and Jing Yaoguo was also beyond his reach. He might be able to cause some trouble for the Sun Clan in industry, commerce, and agriculture. But you can't fight her hard now.
So this time, he regarded himself as a helping hand purely to help Marquis Jinchi, and did not have any power grudges with Zhan Changfeng.
But what surprised him was how could Yu Xulai from the Donglin Dynasty find Marquis Jinchi and join forces with Marquis Jinchi.
"Mr. Yu, do you have a clever plan?" Marquis Jinchi dared to advocate provoking a battle because of Yu Xulai. He believed that the minister of Donglin would not cooperate with him for no reason. Maybe there was King Donglin behind him. Instruction.
If King Donglin sends some strong men, he might be able to deal with the Zhou clan directly.
Yu Xulai said calmly, "Master Marquis, don't be anxious. She is still walking the imperial path and cannot start a big fight. When my Taoist friends come, I will help you explore their strength first, and then decide whether to fight or not." and."
"Then listen to Mr. Yu."
In the silence of the night, Mr. Yu stood in the quiet wilderness. Yu Sheng, Hua Jianci, and Shuo Yu led the troops. When they saw his figure, they slowed down suspiciously and listened to him say, "Fellow Taoist Hua , Long time no see, these two fellow Taoists must be from the Day Clan."
"It's you." Hua Jianci couldn't tell how surprised he was, "Fellow Daoist Yu doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, and why does he come to the wasteland to instigate the people of the wasteland tribe?"
"Can I invite a few fellow Taoists to talk in detail?"
"please."
Hua Jianci secretly sent a message to Yu Sheng and Shuo Yu to explain his origin. He was a counselor whom King Donglin relied on more, with far-reaching wisdom and good preparation for rainy days.
"If it is him, firstly, it may be for the map in Lianwei's hand, and secondly, it may be to test the foundation of the day tribe and teach the wasteland tribes to enter the northern border. I am afraid he wants to test our strength one by one."
