"Where are you going, Mr. Hou?"
Bai Nanyu was riding on the back of a pony with a coat as red as fire and a high neck.
This red horse was a BMW presented by the lords of the various countries in the Western Regions when they came to Chang'an to meet the Holy Spirit.
Liu Qing prides himself on being a reasonable person, so he does business at a loss.
Bai Nanyu agreed to check her consciousness, but she found nothing. The house collected fine horses from various countries in the Western Regions, and among them, this pretty little red horse was given to Bai Nanyu.
In a sense, it is a kind of compensation.
"There is something wrong with the Han army in Yumen. Let's go take a look." Huo Qubing said.
The little red horse kept accelerating as it ran, as if it wanted to surpass Jin'an and become the first horse.
Jin'an snorted disdainfully, kicked his hoof, and the soil exploded, suddenly jumping out.
The two horses started their journey chasing each other.
After the team left Chang'an, Huo Qubing urged them to move forward, incorporating the magical marching method, and the speed surged.
The group first went to Yinxian Sect to get the Dao Bell.
Fortunately, the distance was not far. When night fell, Huo Qubing led a team of two hundred soldiers and headed northwest like lightning.
Early next morning.
The Han Dynasty's northwest border gate opened wide, and Huo Qubing rode out.
They arrived in Longxi in the early morning and stopped for a while at the border to adjust.
Early in the morning, we left the city again and headed towards the Yumen Camp.
Along the way, you can see tens of thousands of hard laborers, craftsmen, and carriages and horses transporting supplies, making a lot of noise.
Han is making every effort to develop construction along the northwest route.
After winning the Battle of Hexi and conquering the northwest, the emperor immediately promulgated a series of policies, including informing various places that those who were willing to move to the northwest and participate in land reclamation would have their taxes reduced and given away land.
And because the Huns lost their control on this line, the number of permanent troops stationed in the northwest can be reduced, and the burden on the people in all aspects will also be reduced.
Without the heavy burden of several large counties in the northwest, the entire Han Dynasty will also have a chance to recuperate.
The Han Dynasty planned to add four additional counties from Longxi to Yumen, based on the areas where the Huns used to herd horses.
The civil servants headed by Dong Zhongshu proposed that the countries in the Western Regions also participate in part of the construction to reduce the consumption of the Han Dynasty.
The enhanced construction along the line will greatly promote the economy, trade and security of the Western Region.
Afternoon time.
Outside the Yumen Camp, the Han troops stationed suddenly felt a strong pressure, sweeping like a storm, but they could not find the source.
The soldiers on guard were about to give a warning when they saw a group of Han troops appearing out of thin air and showing their whereabouts!
The leading general was dressed in military uniform and full of heroic spirit. He was none other than Huo Qubing.
The Han troops on duty immediately rang the bell, and the sound spread throughout the camp.
Zhang Jun, the governor of Xiguan in the camp, walked out of the tent after hearing the sound and saluted happily: "Zhang Jun has seen the champion."
Huo Qubing got off his horse and walked toward the camp with a serious look on his face, Zhang Jun accompanying him.
"The former army Li Gan's troops were attacked. Were you alert and conducted a thorough investigation of the military camp to find the reason?"
"We have taken precautions and checked inside and outside the camp."
Zhang Jun said: "The situation reported by Li Gan is that when the opponent launched the attack on the camp, there was a sound in the consciousness of our Han army.
After I received the message, I felt something was wrong and started looking for the source.
After some troubles, I found some problems in the drinking water. "
"The doctor ordered me to follow you."
Zhang Jun led Huo Qubing to the camp on one side.
There are multiple wooden buckets placed inside the tent.
Huo Qubing used the real intention method of Teng Snake to bless his eyes, and he immediately saw the abnormality in the water.
There are light golden spots hidden in the water, as big as rice grains, and very illusory.
If it weren't for the eyes blessed by Soaring Snake, even an ordinary celestial being wouldn't be able to tell.
If you look closely at those light spots, you will see that they are miniature scriptures.
Huo Qubing leaned close to the bucket, stretched out his hand to take it, and one of the sutras fell into his fingertips.
In a daze, there seemed to be the sound of chanting scriptures coming from it.
Zhang Jun was slightly surprised.
He tried his best to find out the reason in the water. After seeing this kind of scripture, he tried repeatedly and finally found the method.
Huo Qubing came up and took out the sutra seals from the water.
“This kind of scripture imprint was discovered after we conducted a thorough investigation. We collected water from different water sources and checked it repeatedly.
We discovered that in an area where we use the most water every day, this kind of sutra seal is hidden in the water source. If it doesn't go away after being boiled in water, it means that this thing has entered the body and affected ordinary people. "
Anger appeared on Zhang Jun's face and he said: "I have never encountered similar methods before, so I lack targeted defense."
“Someone secretly planted this brand in the water, but they underestimated the strength of our Han army.
When they first used this method to attack the former army Li Gan's troops, the effect was very good, but we quickly found out the reason. As long as we gathered the troops, we could suppress this scripture effect.
Therefore, when they attacked the camp for the second time, we were prepared and did not let them take advantage of us.
It's just that this kind of sutra seal is not easy to remove.
I've tried many methods, but can't get rid of them all. "
Dao Zun and Bai Nanyu also walked beside Huo Qubing and came in together.
The two of them promoted their practice, and only after Zhang Jun told them how to do it did they see the sutra seal in the water.
Taoist Master frowned: "This method is so secretive and rare. It is not the practice of any of the three religions and nine streams of our Han people. The blood is fused with spiritual thoughts to form a brand, which is blended into the water, invisible and colorless."
"The water and food used by our Han army have been inspected in advance.
Especially during wartime, the number of inspections will be increased, but this method has never been encountered before, so it fell into the scheme. "
Zhang Jun said: "However, only the subordinates with low cultivation are deeply affected, and it is difficult to get rid of them. The impact on the rest of the people is still controllable."
Dao Zun asked two soldiers from the battalion to come over to check. After a while, he said to Huo Qubing:
"I said you must borrow my preaching bell.
The power of this sutra seal is incompatible with our Taoist sect, and has the effect of forcing the teaching of the law. If it is covered by the Taoist sect's preaching bell, the soul will gradually become clear and clear, and it should be cleared in a few days. "
Zhang Jun was overjoyed: "Then please ask Taoist Master to help the soldiers in the camp get rid of this weird technique!"
Huo Qubing said: "This sutra seal is connected to the other party's blood. If you remove it now, the other party will know it immediately."
Zhang Jun understood what he meant and said, "Does Lang Zhongling want to find the other party?"
Huo Qubing's military formation pattern spread and covered the entire camp.
In the military formation, there are countless ancient font-like textures appearing, which together form the true meaning of the Seven Techniques of Yin Fu in the book.
Then the textures merged, and a huge soaring snake seemed to wake up from a deep sleep.
It raised its head in the military formation, revealing its neck, body, and wings. Its black scales were like giant iron shields, stretching and contracting, making a rustling sound.
Although this flying snake was transformed by spiritual practice, it is extremely real.
At this moment, the figure of Soaring Snake appeared in the consciousness of many soldiers in the camp.
The sutra seals in their consciousness were absorbed by Soaring Snake and merged into the military formation.
This sutra seal was created with the blessing of a few initial Buddhist disciples from the Western Region through a combination of blood and practice.
The sutra seal itself contains the blood of the original Buddhists.
Huo Qubing stepped into the military formation and turned it into the power of the Lingwei Soldier Talisman, relying on the Qi contained in the sutra seals to deduce the movement.
In his mind, the 'work' symbol appeared on the leaves of the Ling'er Soldier Talisman, slowly rotating and pointing towards the southwest.
The attributes of seeking good luck and avoiding evil on the soldier's talisman are also changing, and finally correspond to the evil position.
This shows that there is danger for Huo Qubing in that direction.
…
Western Region.
The yellow sand is thousands of miles away, and the sun is as hot as fire.
"That Han general has come to the Western Regions."
The Sixth Master stood on the sand dune and looked to the east: "I feel the breath of the World-Destroying Demon."
The Five Aggregates Buddhists beside him finished their sitting cross-legged practice and opened their eyes one after another:
"I also feel that someone is trying to trace our location with the power of blood."
One of the Buddhists was holding an alms bowl.
The sutra seals engraved in the bowl flickered, and he vaguely saw the scene of the Yumen Camp through the perspective of a Han soldier who absorbed the sutra seals.
"It's impossible for him to find us based on the blood aura in the sutra seal."
"The Buddha came into the world to teach the Dharma, and our practice is the source of all Dharmas. If he wants to find us, he will only be led in the wrong direction."
"But now that he's here, it's not like our plan was in vain."
The old man at the head of the five aggregates said: "Today we will get rid of the world-destroying demon and take the demon seed back to Kongsamadhi."
"Shall we release our breath and lead him over?" said a tall monk in Wuyandana.
Liu Ru thought for a while and said: "That's fine, but the power of the World Destroyer Demon is not easy to deal with. I should make some preparations."
Several people agreed in unison, sat cross-legged and closed their eyes, connecting their Qi.
Layers of textures like flowers and leaves swayed beneath their bodies, blending into each other.
Around his body, countless scriptures burst out, like golden lotuses emerging from the ground, and visions emerged one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding void was covered with scriptures. And they sit cross-legged in the center of the scriptures, their whole bodies are shining, and their treasures are solemn.
In the void, the shadows of many believers appeared, and all of them chanted Buddhist sutras in unison to bless them with power.
time flies.
An hour later, the sun moved westward.
Several people were still sitting cross-legged, holding the alms bowl in their hands, with their eyes closed, in a state of meditation.
On them, a halo of flowing scriptures began to grow.
The surroundings seemed to have turned into a Buddhist kingdom, with a pale golden light rising into the sky.
At this moment, on a hill a hundred feet away from them, Huo Qubing suddenly appeared, accompanied by Bai Nanyu and Dao Zun.
Huo Qubing took a step forward, and using the combined effect of crossing the sea and walking, he suddenly came to the edge of the sand dune where several monks were sitting cross-legged.
Under his gaze, he could see these monks releasing themselves around him, like a halo of scripture barrier.
And a figure stood up behind Huo Qubing, it was Chi You.
Its two corners are curved, and its energy is domineering and unruly.
The black aura outside his body was boiling like fire.
That breath followed Chi You forward and came into contact with the light of the scriptures.
The halo of the scriptures seemed to be eroded and disappeared quietly.
At the same moment, the formation pattern under Huo Qubing's feet shrank into the void. He appeared in front of a group of Wu Yun monks and punched him between the eyebrows.
"We've been waiting for this for a long time!"
The other party opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a light gold scripture deep in his pupils, shrinking and swirling.
Huo Qubing's fist quickly expanded in front of him.
With this punch, the military formation under his feet spread infinitely, dragging all the six elements, five aggregates and other Buddhists into it.
This desert suddenly became a battlefield for military strategists.
With one punch, it was like thousands of horses and troops gathering together to exert force together.
After punching out, the military formation he released was retracted in an instant, and all the power was gathered at the edge of the fist, as if endless space and time were gathered into one punch, and his skills were close to the Tao.
The monk opposite also showed extraordinary practice.
A sutra seal fell off between his eyebrows, blocking Huo Qubing's fist.
Crack!
The sutra seal was shattered by Huo Qubing's punch, and the strength of the punch increased again, destroying it.
The monks moved back, trying to avoid it, but with a crashing sound, their fists hit their foreheads.
However, at the same time as he was hit, the round bowl held by the monks showed a scene of countless believers sitting cross-legged and chanting sutras.
One of the believers had a cracked skull and died immediately.
Huo Qubing's offensive seemed to be passed on to the believers.
And under almost impossible circumstances, the Wu Yun monk was able to dissolve the murderous intention of this punch.
"You have such a murderous intention and no Buddha's cause in your heart. No wonder you were selected by the demonic thoughts of destroying the world and became the body."
Before the monks finished speaking, their expressions suddenly changed.
Without any warning, another force of power surged out from his side and hit his forehead.
This punch came so unexpectedly, it was just the magical power of military strategy that came out of nowhere!
After the Wu Yun monks were hit, their words suddenly stopped, and their eyebrows cracked.
But Huo Qubing's attack was like lightning, and behind the scenes of the battle, several other Wuyun and Liuzuo masters woke up one after another.
On the sand dune behind, Tao Zun was sitting on the ground, as if watching the fun.
In Chang'an, the emperor was also watching the fun.
Moreover, he also invited envoys and kings from various countries in the Western Regions to the study to watch.
