After the bell sounded to start the war, soldiers and horses were not immediately dispatched, but a large amount of white mist first appeared between the sky and the earth.
The white mist spread and swept across, and in just a short period of time, the entire land of Southern Jin was swallowed up by the white mist.
Seeing the light white mist getting thicker and thicker, all the people in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and even many practitioners, began to panic.
It's all just because the visibility in the thick fog is too low, and even the range of spiritual detection is greatly limited.
It looks like an ordinary thick fog, but it is the law of a saint.
The first thing to block is perception.
What can be expected is that after the formation is fully activated, Nan Jin in the fog is essentially like a ferocious beast hidden in the darkness with its bloody mouth open.
Once it finds the right hunting opportunity, it will inevitably pounce on its prey ferociously.
Jianye.
The guard Yu Youquan and the other eight deputy guards, as well as a large number of cultivators and warriors under his command, all took their positions and appeared in different directions of the formation.
The formation opens.
Jianye is still the same Jianye. It seems that there is not much difference in every brick and stone.
But for Yu Youquan, the main guard, the entire Xiongcheng seemed to have come to life, completely becoming a part of his body and mind.
Yu Youquan is familiar yet unfamiliar with this feeling.
The core reason why we are familiar with it is because the Refining Xiongcheng and the Refining Ten Thousand Stars Tablet Star Tablet have the same purpose.
Once a star tablet is refined, part of Senior Long's memories and heritage can be accessed, or more precisely, the "dao mark".
Because this is the way of Senior Long!
Same reason.
As the city lord of the Refining City, after the formation was opened, he also began to be able to touch some of the laws of Yi Hongyuan's small world, that is, the Tao of Yi Hongyuan.
For a moment, Yu Youquan seemed to see a huge net and appreciate the beauty of the avenue.
Yu Youquan just looked at it with fascination.
at the same time.
Outside the twelve cities on the border where the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Jin Dynasty faced each other, the white fog that spread from the Southern Jin Dynasty swept all the way, like a white fog dragon crawling all the way.
but.
Under the illumination of the Buddha's light from Lingshan, these white mists were either directly dissolved, or directly became thinner, and their power was greatly weakened.
The lecturer and the holy monk Panzhi were looking at the Southern Jin Dynasty, which was all shrouded in white mist, and they felt a little solemn for a moment.
The white fog fills the sky and makes it difficult to see even one's fingers. It is definitely a huge hindrance to the people and is destined to be impossible to last.
They can actually choose to delay for a moment or two.
but.
Neither the first sermon nor the Righteous Compassion chose to procrastinate.
For one thing, they are the attacking side, and their aggressiveness is very important.
Second, a saint suddenly disappeared, and even the other two saints could not sense it. This was definitely a terrible thing.
Zheng Panzhi muttered, "The spiritual consciousness has been weakened very much. Even the divine consciousness of the saint cannot completely penetrate the foggy realm formed by Yi Hongyuan's small world combined with the great formation of the world. It almost occupies the right time, place and people. , it seems that Yi Hongyuan intends to isolate our perception and form a situation of using more to fight against fewer."
When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you can directly break through the barrier between the material world and the legal world.
The distance in the real world begins to become less absolute.
And because this is Yi Hongyuan's bubble world, Yi Hongyuan can graft two completely unrelated places together, similar to grafting, to form a military suppression.
As the defender who occupies a strategic location, Yi Hongyuan has an absolute advantage.
To put it bluntly, the Southern Jin Dynasty today is like a giant integrated into one body.
If you stand the people of the land upright, you can basically understand the current arrangement and combination of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
The boxing champion is a shield and a contracted fist, the sword master is a cantilevered sword, and the Tuoba villager is the armor that protects the internal organs.
These positions have relative concepts, but they are not absolutely fixed positions.
As far as fists are concerned, he can strike in all directions at any time.
Xiongcheng, which acts as other body parts, also has similar effects.
This is the home field advantage!
I saw the leader of the lecturer stretching out his hand, and a pool of eight treasures of merit flew through the air.
After clasping his hands together at the beginning of the sermon, he drew a circle with his index fingers in the air. The energy of heaven and earth gathered together. This circle was laid out on the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. The soul thoughts left by countless Buddhists in the merit pool all gathered together, and finally they gathered together into a flower. Another Buddha lotus.
The leader of the lecturer gently pressed his hand on the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and the merit pool immediately took root and began to erode the veins of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
At this point, the boundary-suppressing formation set up by Yi Hongyuan and the eight-treasure merit pool planted in the first lecture hall were connected together, as if they formed a chessboard of heaven and earth.
Even if the great fog set down by Yi Hongyuan can block spiritual perception, it cannot block the soul mark left by Buddhists in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
It feels a bit like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers!
Even if these fogs of war still fail to clear away, as long as the footsteps of many Buddhist monks measure enough area, they will eventually be able to dispel these fogs of war.
Not only that, but there are also several bright chess pieces visible on the chessboard.
They clearly represent the nine kings of the Southern Jin Dynasty, especially the six kings who chose to defend the city, and their positions are most obvious.
Obviously, the Southern Jin Dynasty was taking precautions against the Buddha in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the two holy places in the Northern Wei Dynasty also anchored the positions of the Six Kings in advance through various methods.
Even the fog of Saint Yi Hongyuan's laws could not hide their whereabouts.
Obviously, the nine kings of the Southern Jin Dynasty also knew that the two saints of the Northern Wei Dynasty knew this.
The first sermon: "Yi Hongyuan's plan is to use the geographical advantages and powerful troop dispatching capabilities to form a situation where the strong versus the weak will defeat the few. However, our Buddhist sect has produced numerous talents in recent years, including Arhats and Bodhisattvas. How can it be so easy to form the three formations of the Buddha, the strength and the weakness?"
The holy monk Zheng Omni nodded.
This is the truth.
The Southern Jin Dynasty and Jin Dynasty were weak, so they needed to "win by surprise", while the Wei Dynasty relied more on "crushing by the general trend".
The Southern Jin Dynasty’s boundary-suppressing formation and fog may sound mysterious, but they are simple in nature.
As long as the Northern Wei Dynasty could eradicate the majestic cities (formation eyes) that dominated the land of the Southern Jin Dynasty one by one, it would only become more and more difficult for Yi Hongyuan to maintain the town boundary formation.
In the end, he could even use the weight of the world to severely damage Yi Hongyuan.
To put it bluntly, it may seem like a very, very complicated thing, but at its core it is actually the simplest thing in the world. It even simply returns to the common essence of all wars——
Siege the city and destroy the enemy's entire force.
The leader of the lecture did not hesitate and directly arranged for the "Dragon-Subduing Arhat" built by a group of monsters headed by the Poison Dragon Demon King to take the lead.
The Poison Dragon Demon King is a veteran demon king who was captured and suppressed by Buddhism a long time ago. He is unruly and has been imprisoned by Buddhism for many years.
In the early stage of this war, he was released from the Demon Suppression Pagoda by Buddhism.
According to the agreement between Buddhism and him, he took the lead to coordinate the commanders of the eighteen demon clans to jointly build the Dragon-Subduing Arhat Formation.
As long as you can kill the enemy and perform meritorious service on the battlefield, you can wash away the sins of the past and regain your freedom.
Because he is the Demon King, equivalent to a great cultivator in the fifth realm of the human race, and his body is extremely strong, so jointly building an Arhat battle formation is essentially a tactical deception.
Either use it to be strong and be upright; or use it to be weak to lure the enemy into attacking.
A mixture of the two, true and false.
There were also a number of demon kings and great demons who had similar experiences to him.
They are all the tough ones among the demon kings, and they have never been surrendered by the Buddhist Bald Donkey.
but.
The promise of Buddhism that they would be punished and meritorious, regain their freedom, and be free to massacre the Southern Jin people, but it made each of these demon kings scream in excitement.
After being imprisoned for too long, many demon kings have actually gone a little crazy, and now they only have the desire to kill.
Even if they knew that these monks were using them as victims, they would not hesitate.
Kill one to get enough capital, kill two to earn blood.
The three formations of Arhat, Bodhisattva and Buddha in Buddhism are all very mysterious.
After the many members who make up the formation refine the key talismans of the formation, they will automatically draw a large amount of power from heaven and earth down, and then jointly build an integrated "Arhat", "Bodhisattva" and "Buddha".
Even the spiritual consciousness cannot detect the truth and falsehood inside, which is also one of the various blinding methods in Buddhism.
Take the dormant Poisonous Dragon Demon King as an example. The "Dragon-Subduing Arhat" that he and many demon clan leaders under his command jointly constructed is very coquettish in nature.
From a distance, he looks like a huge Arhat, about a hundred feet tall, with bare feet and a huge Buddhist bead. The muscle skin on his body is made of the power of heaven and earth, and is coated with a layer of bronze. He really looks seventy years older than an ordinary Arhat. Eight points similar.
But the green eyes, the raging demonic energy, and the demonic features such as scales, poisonous horns, and barbs that cannot be hidden in some places all make this huge Arhat look like a fallen demon Arhat.
Even so, it is difficult to find out who is leading this fallen demon arhat by ordinary means, and it is even harder to judge the true combat power of this dragon-subduing arhat.
Just from the appearance, it can only be seen that he is an Arhat, and the "formation heart" headed by him is a demon.
And the Arhat, with demons as its core, will certainly be able to attract more hatred, leading to an even more brutal fight.
This is the method of Buddhist saints, attacking the body as well as the mind.
The fallen Arhats, headed by the Poison Dragon Demon King, acted as vanguard scouts and walked step by step into the thick fog of the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Due to the formation, the hundred-foot arhat formed by the poisonous dragon looks rather clumsy in its movements.
but.
Every step he took was swift and lightning-fast.
In a short period of time, he traveled more than ten miles.
at the same time.
Behind the huge poisonous dragon Arhat, eighteen Arhat giants appeared.
Some of them are demon kings in disguise, and some are really ordinary demon clan commanders.
These giant arhats advance in the form of a widely spread square formation, forming a whole together.
In the middle of the giant Arhat, there is also a giant Bodhisattva formed by a formation.
It is the image of Vajrapani Bodhisattva, with one face, two arms and three eyes, black and blue body, wearing a five-stranded skull crown on his head, red hair raised, beard and eyebrows like fire, fangs exposed and tongue rolled, three red eyes wide open, very scary .
The right hand performs the Qimian seal, holds the Vajra pestle, the left hand holds the Wrathful Fist Seal, holds the Vajra hook and rope on the chest, and is solemnly decorated with bone and snake ornaments.
Wearing a skirt of blue satin and tiger skin, with her feet bent right and left extended, she stands majestically on the lotus and sun disk seat, dwelling in the flames of Prajna.
Generally speaking, it is majestic, ugly, and terrifying, and is the image of the true Buddhist wrathful Vajra.
Obviously, the plan of the Buddhist side is to use the Poison Dragon Demon King as the leader to form a giant Arhat as a scout, and the subsequent seventeen Arhats as the vanguard.
A Vajrapani Bodhisattva formed by a formation followed closely behind and rushed to the rescue in time.
Eighteen Arhats and one Bodhisattva form a square battle formation unit.
On the surface, these are 324 real people in the third realm and 36 venerable people in the fourth realm.
If the situation was hidden from the Poison Dragon Demon King, the actual combat power would be even more terrifying.
Especially the Bodhisattva in the middle is responsible for rescue and annihilation.
Actively offensive, but not reckless or radical.
And this is just the configuration of a square battle formation. There are many more square formations like this.
In the middle of approximately every four square formations, there is a statue of the Immovable King Buddha built using the formation method.
And these configurations together constitute a legion.
In other words, a legion sent by Buddhism has a Buddha, four Bodhisattvas, and seventy-two Arhats.
Converted into specific cultivation configurations, there are 72 great practitioners of the fifth realm, 144 venerables of the fourth realm, and 1,296 real men of the third realm.
One can imagine what a terrifying force this is!
You must know that a great cultivator of the Five Realms can support the inheritance of a huge family.
For example, if the Zheng family did not have the ancestor Mingshan Diaosou, the Five Realms would be the Zheng family's strongest combat power on paper.
But now only seventy-two great monks of the Five Realms can build a "Buddha".
As for the Four Realms Venerable, he can be an elder with great authority in any big family.
But here, a "powerful elder" is only one-thirty-sixth of a Bodhisattva.
Eighteen three-level figures constitute an Arhat, thirty-six four-level figures constitute a Bodhisattva, and seventy-two five-level figures constitute a Buddha. It is conceivable that the higher the practitioner climbs, the gap between the great realm and the great realm is Gradually enlarged.
It is almost equivalent to seventy-two people in the five realms, and only one king of the six realms (Buddha) can barely be judged.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the power hidden in Buddhism. This is the era of great prosperity of Buddhism and the prosperity of Buddhism!
Cooperating with each other and supporting each other, it is mighty and vigorous.
The entire southern Jin Dynasty seemed to be shaking with earthquakes.
at the same time.
With the continuous advancement of Poison Dragon Arhat and other giants, some of the fog of war on the chessboard above the Eight Treasures Merit Pool was eliminated and illuminated.
It can also be seen from this that Lecture Leader's method is to passively break the formation, but the time for which these fogs of war can take effect may be quite limited.
Probably when the Arhats in the giant battle formation were marching for about a hundred miles, a storm surged in the small world of Southern Jin Dynasty, and a thick white mist floated in.
Like the Poison Dragon Demon King, he only felt the thick fog in front of him. When he could see everything around him clearly again, the Arhat battle formation behind him had completely disappeared.
The Poison Dragon Demon King looked in all directions, front, back, left and right, but there was no one everywhere.
The Poison Dragon Demon King suddenly felt a chill in his heart, remembering what the first lecturer had told them before the battle.
The battle between the North and the South was about luck, and the method relied on was to eliminate each other's effective forces. Fighting and casualties were inevitable.
but.
The three formations of Arhat, Bodhisattva, and Buddha in Buddhism are secondary in attack methods. The physical body constructed by the power of heaven and earth really has the power of the Buddhist golden body. It is best at defense.
As long as you can avoid dying in a short period of time, rescue will be waiting for you soon.
"Everyone pay attention to defense."
Poison Dragon Arhat was extremely careful and directly controlled the formation, making the giant golden Arhat's body flash with golden light. At the same time, a vajra, alms bowl, and Zen staff appeared in Arhat's hand.
but.
The Poison Dragon Demon King still felt some discomfort for the first time.
The earth seemed to have turned into a muddy swamp, and the vitality of heaven and earth had become extremely thin, giving the Poison Dragon Demon King a feeling of a fantasy version of "altitude sickness."
But in front of him, the majestic city instantly released thousands of rays of light. The entire majestic city seemed to have transformed into a huge god of war with flesh and blood, instead of being an immovable dead city.
Compared with the hundred-foot Arhat giant formed by the Buddhist formation, the God of War constructed by the earth-line city on the Xuanmen side is very different. The overall appearance is like a general wearing armor and a belt.
As for the weapons, they were almost unified into spears.
Obviously, similar to the Buddhist side, the giant city giants in the Southern Jin Dynasty had a considerable sense of confidentiality.
Just by looking at the appearance, it is impossible to tell who the city lord is, or even which of the most powerful cities in the Southern Jin Dynasty this is.
In addition, together with the large formation, Saint Yi Hongyuan directly set up a large formation to block the entire Southern Jin Dynasty. Even if there were some spies, it would not be easy to pass the news back to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
It has to be said that both the North and the South used their awareness of confidentiality and their military strategies to match Qi Zheng very well.
The two moved immediately and had a fierce collision.
The demonic pestle and spear were waved, and the endless power of heaven and earth was so vast that the sky and the earth were darkened.
There is no particularly mysterious fighting method between the two behemoths. They look quite bulky, just like two warriors fighting fiercely.
but.
This moment of great strength and miracles was vividly displayed between each other.
The plains, mountains, rivers, and lakes outside the city all trembled violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
But the destruction of the earth was not particularly serious. It was not like the previous wars between monks, which frequently destroyed the world and cut off mountains.
Overall, everything in the world seems to be reinforced and less susceptible to damage.
After all, the entire Southern Jin Dynasty was suppressed by the large formation of the town, and the mountains, rivers and rivers of the entire Southern Jin Dynasty were integrated and extremely strong.
The shaking in the city was smaller in comparison. People felt the earthquake, but it was not severe and the houses were relatively intact.
Boom!
In just an instant, there was a violent collision between the Xiongcheng God of War and the Baizhang Arhat.
But within a short period of time, the strong men hidden among the Arhats, such as the Poisonous Dragon Demon King, all laughed out loud.
They initially probed for a piece of information - Saint Yi Hongyuan indeed separated them Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas through the mist, but he did not penetrate the core of the Arhat formation.
This shows that the method of lecturing the first sermon is effective!
After testing out the intelligence and the strength of the city-defending God of War in front of him, the Poison Dragon Demon King and those who pretended to be pigs and tigers immediately stopped hiding and began to show their edge.
The power of the demon-subduing pestle he swung suddenly increased, and it instantly blasted the giant God of War in front of him.
With a loud bang, a main guard, eight deputy guards, and a large number of cultivators and soldiers under the deputy guards were instantly cut down.
The practitioners who made up the God of War giant fell almost instantly, not even able to utter a scream.
at the same time.
The city was destroyed as a result, and the people who had just noticed something strange immediately discovered that an extremely huge, god-like Arhat appeared in front of them.
And this giant Arhat has some characteristics of the demon clan.
He raised his hand and slapped them down, like a huge black mountain pressing down on the city.
The end of the world.
"No!"
"I don't want to die!"
"No"
All living beings screamed in fear, but nothing could be changed.
It was like a huge palm of flesh slapped down by a mountain, without any mercy.
In just an instant, almost all the people in the city who were caught by the huge fleshy palm died immediately.
at the same time.
The Poisonous Dragon Demon King, who killed a large number of ordinary people with one slap, immediately burst into flames.
This fire is clearly the fire of karma.
Born of sin, burned directly from the body to the soul.
"Ah~~~~No~~~"
The Poisonous Dragon Demon King, who was in severe pain from the terrifying karma fire, and all the demon clans and practitioners who made up this behemoth Arhat were also burned to death by the karma fire immediately.
Even the Poison Dragon Demon King is no exception. You must know that he is a great demon in the fifth realm. Under the burning of karma fire, he is unprecedentedly fair.
It can also be seen from this that in the world-suppressing formation with Saint Yi Hongyuan's Small World Law as the core, massacre of mortals is absolutely not allowed.
at the same time.
Similar experiences to the Poisonous Dragon Demon King include Arhats and Bodhisattvas composed of several great demons.
In a short period of time, several of the most blazing karma flames in history were ignited, and the screams of a large number of practitioners could be heard.
I have to admit that the vitality of practitioners is indeed strong, and there are many ways to save lives.
It can even be seen that some Arhats who have successfully disguised themselves as gods of war and slaughtered mortals directly ignited blazing fire on their huge bodies and exploded.
Some monks who were good at saving their lives ran away with the light of fire, illuminating the darkness in the fog, but in the end they died tragically one by one.
In a short period of time, the casualties were shocking.
After a brief confrontation, the arrangements of both Buddhism and Taoism had their own winners and losers.
By disguising and hiding, Buddhism successfully deceived the saint Yi Hongyuan's perception, and successfully induced the saint Yi Hongyuan to assign them to the weaker city's giant war god.
As a result, they achieved fruitful results and destroyed several war gods transformed from the city in a short period of time.
However, because of indiscriminate killing of innocent people, Yi Hongyuan turned his army around and burned several demon kings of the five realms who were pretending to be very good with the help of karma fire.
Judging from the loss of high-end combat power alone, Buddhism still suffered a relatively small loss, but when you think about the fact that these five great monks who died are basically demon kings who are extremely hostile to the human race, you can expect that The losses on the Buddhist side were not as great as imagined.
This is the meaning of using demon clan as cannon fodder!
But as for the damage to mortals, the Southern Jin Dynasty could not bear to look at it.
It was obvious that the saint had figured out the thoughts of the cannon fodder of the demon race.
Very cold-blooded and ruthless, but also full of love!
Immediately, the ears of all the creatures in the Arhat, Bodhisattva and Buddha array simultaneously echoed the warning voice of the lecturer.
"You can kill the war god transformed by the city and kill all practitioners, but you must not directly destroy the city and kill mortals wantonly. This is an iron law, and anyone who violates it will die."
At this moment, even the most murderous demon did not dare to kill mortals unscrupulously.
You may not be able to teach others in a lifetime, but war only requires a cup of tea, or even a few dozen breaths, to make all participants firmly remember a rule.
The Frost Centiped Demon King's heart trembled, and he was secretly grateful. Fortunately, he didn't rush to slaughter mortals after killing the human war god just now.
The human race is insidious!
But at this moment, the Frost Centipede Demon King discovered that four huge war gods appeared at the same time in front, back, left and right of him.
The moment these four giant war gods appeared, the Frost Centipede Demon King felt out of breath.
It’s not a psychological effect, it’s literally being out of breath.
It felt like all the energy of heaven and earth in all directions was blocked, and the power of heaven and earth he could control was getting thinner and thinner.
"not good!"
The Frost Centipede Demon King was startled and immediately took control of the Arhat battle formation and ran wildly.
But there were four war gods at the front, left, and right, forming a killing array. How could he be allowed to escape?
The four gods of war unleashed their weapons at the same time, their spears gleaming with cold light, and accompanied by loud explosions, the Arhat battle formation instantly exploded.
All the monks of the third realm in the battle formation died immediately, but the hidden frost centipede demon king of the fifth realm fled.
But a moment later, with the Frost Centiped Demon King screaming, he was also killed.
And similar scenes occurred in every corner of the battlefield.
Of course, not all the besieged Arhats and Bodhisattvas died as a result.
If there are friends around who arrive in time to support, they can basically break through the gap and survive.
but.
They will probably be surrounded and killed by more city war gods who were transferred by the saint Yi Hongyuan soon.
Fast, accurate and ruthless!
Soon, the ears of all the Arhats, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the great formation heard the voice of the leader of the sermon again.
"The great battle formation is a chessboard, and each God of War is a chess piece. Usually there are four breaths. Once surrounded from all directions, if you cannot wait for rescue and break the game, you will definitely die. If you are alone and find more than two Gods of War around you, you will die. , immediately transfer and escape."
Everyone in the Buddhist sect, as well as the demon king and demon clan leader who was forcibly recruited, all took a breath.
This is a Buddhist saint and a Jiuxuanmen saint playing chess with the heaven and earth as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces!
And if these little chess pieces like them are eaten, they will really be eaten.
Thinking of this, all the Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas felt their hearts tremble.
If there are more than two war gods around, they will run away immediately.
Although the Saint dispatches the God of War quickly, it still sways forward after all. This is their opportunity.
In the face of war, the rules are learned in a second, without anyone else even needing to give any instructions.
because.
In the corners of the Go board, some chess pieces only have two breaths. Once they are blocked by the two gods of war, it will be dangerous.
Of course, this situation is rare and harsh.
But if it reaches the three gods of war, the risk factor will skyrocket.
Running is the best option!
In a short period of time, the situation on the entire battlefield changed rapidly, and a large number of tall giants could be seen running desperately.
But as time goes by, we can also see that the probability of encounters between Arhats and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism has gradually increased.
It can also be seen from this that the fog of war effect of Saint Yi Hongyuan is weakening.
In other words, the external saints put enough pressure on Yi Hongyuan, forcing him to allocate more forces to fight, and his ability to mobilize troops was weakening.
at the same time.
Yu Youquan, who was guarding Jianye, also transformed into a huge God of War, and there was a Buddha in front of him at some point!
Gulu!
Not only the eight deputy guards, but also Yu Youquan broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
Although this is a Buddha constructed with a formation, it is still equivalent to the Six Realms King of the Southern Jin Dynasty. Even the weakest king is not that easy to fight against.
at the same time.
Yu Youquan and many deputy guards heard the voice of Saint Yi Hongyuan at the same time.
"Hold him for thirty breaths, and I will dispatch a God of War to help as soon as possible."
Hiss!
Everyone gasped, dragging a Buddha, and it still takes thirty breaths?
Gan! (End of chapter)
