How do you know my identity so well? A few days ago, I tried to recruit the remaining disciples of Rama, the "Light Messenger", and asked her to help decipher the difficult parts of the "Book of Wisdom" at the cost of providing shelter. However, before reaching an agreement, she was sent by Yang Guang Come over.
Could it be that this disciple of Rama has actually contacted the Persian Orthodox Church a long time ago and is not afraid of the pursuit of the five types of demons at all. The previous statement was just a lie, but in fact it was a plan to capture him?
Wang Shichong's eyes flickered, just like Rong Jiaojiao's before, and he suspected that Zhao Qing was the new "Light Messenger", and his martial arts skills were definitely far superior to the current great master Xu Kaishan of Huihe Ming Dynasty.
Since the "Devil King" Zheluo who defeated Lamo is said to have died at the end of his life, the current strength of Huihe Daming Zunjiao is probably not her opponent. If the enemy is strong and I am weak, I will directly express my surrender. Maybe I can take over on my own. A glimmer of hope.
Guessing that Zhao Qing's request for the "Wisdom of All Laws", which actually had a copy in Persia, was a test for himself. Wang Shichong did not dare to think too much and glanced at Zhang Zhenzhou, who was caught just after him, knowing whether Under human command, it is difficult for the navy to play a rescue role.
He sighed in his heart, finally made up his mind, curled up slightly, lowered his head and replied:
"The Zhi Jing that Wang knows is only a copy handed down by Xiugu Sidu. It does not rule out that there are errors, omissions and imperfections. After reciting or dictating it, if it is different from what the messenger knows, please do not take responsibility."
This Xiu Gu Sidu is the current Grand Master of the Ming Dynasty Sect, who is now aliased as Xu Kaishan.
He originally planned to contact Lamo's disciples secretly and provide them with shelter, which was no different from betraying the Ming Dynasty Zunjiao. He had been able to bend and bend in front of Yang Guang for many years. When Wang Shichong made the decision to surrender, it was not difficult.
…
At the same time, in the military camp outside Liyang City, under the starlight and moonlight, Shi Qingxuan walked in leisurely and calmly, wearing a green and black hat, a cream-colored tight-sleeved top, and a vermilion skirt, giving people a profound and endless feeling. a feeling of.
Du Fuwei, who returned to the military camp from outside, stared closely at the young girl who was Zhao Qing's representative. He couldn't help but feel shocked. He realized that with his decades of profound cultivation, he could not see the depth of the other party at all.
This is not because Shi Qingxuan's martial arts skills are really better than those of Du Fuwei, but with the help of the "Secret of Immortality", she has embedded an indescribable, ever-present, invisible and intangible In the way of heaven, the essence in the body is integrated with the essence of heaven and earth;
In this state, only Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan and other great masters can see and understand such a mysterious realm. Even with Du Fuwei's extraordinary eyesight, it is still several levels behind.
Shi Qingxuan's face was calm, and she glanced at the two famous masters, Du Fuwei and Fugong Er. She took two steps forward, her eyes lingered on the sword she carried for a while, and then she sighed softly:
"Fu Gong Er, what is the current level of contact between Du Fuwei and the Tie Le people? But no matter what agreement you have with Qu Ao and Tie Le, Ren Shaoming has been killed by the 'Heavenly Sword' Song Quezhi. Hands, no matter how difficult it is to fulfill it.”
Ren Shaoming, the leader of the Iron Cavalry Association, "Qingjiao", is actually dead? How could the contact between me and the Tiele people be leaked?
Hearing the news from Shi Qingxuan, Du Fuwei couldn't help but show a bit of shock on his rigid face. At the same time, he also noticed that the other party asked Fu Gong'er for the news in front of him, as if he didn't put himself, the leader of the Jianghuai Army, at all. In eyes.
I heard that Shi Qingxuan is the daughter of Shi Zhixuan, the "Evil King" of the Demon Sect. She and Lao Fu seem to be familiar with each other. Does this mean that the latter has different intentions? But expressing it publicly like this might be a tactic to alienate someone?
Rumors in the world are never necessarily true. "Green Dragon" Ren Shaoming is said to have escaped from Song Que's heavenly sword, so he is famous all over the world. He is recognized as a master in the southern martial arts world after Song Que, and is as famous as Du Fuwei.
But in fact, the two of them were not fighting one-on-one at all, but Ren Shaoming and several men wanted to seize territory from the Song clan. Song Que led his troops to kill him and fled. He was forced to leave Lingnan and suffered heavy losses. , retreated to the Jiujiang area and mixed with Lin Shihong of the Yingui sect.
Ren Shaoming was originally from Tiele, his real name was Qute, so he was very cruel to the Han people. His father was Qu Ao, who was known as the "Flying Eagle" and was running rampant in the western frontier. His reputation was so great that he was directly chasing Bi Xuan, the "Martial Lord" of the Turks. He was cruel and easy to kill, and his reputation was even more vicious than Bi Xuan's.
The Tiele people have always been the sworn enemies of the Turks. Seeing the Turks' increasing influence in the Central Plains, they began to have the ambition to get a piece of the pie. Following the secret order of King Tiele, Qu Ao came to join forces with the emerging forces in the Central Plains in an attempt to fish in troubled waters and take advantage.
Lin Shihong, who was supported by the Yingui sect, and Du Fuwei, who was famous in Jianghuai, were the two targets chosen by the Tiele people. Ren Shaoming established the Iron Cavalry Association to recruit villains and bandits, and hoard large amounts of property through plunder. , and continue to expand outward.
About half a month ago, when Du Fuwei led his army to attack Liyang and once he succeeded, he would have an impact on the world. Ren Shaoming sent his right protector "Yanni" Chang Zhen to secretly negotiate with the Jianghuai army. Cooperate and form an alliance after conquering Liyang.
Du Fuwei is a person with no sense of morality. Even though he knows that Ren Shaoming has a deep connection with the Tiele people, many rebel armies are now colluding with the Hu people. He is also ready to give it a try and use the Tiele people to experts to deal with the enemy;
However, they did not expect that before Liyang City was captured, Ren Shaoming was already dead, and he was killed at the hands of Song Que, which showed that the Song clan had officially listed the Tiele people as enemies and was not afraid of the conflicts that might follow. .
With Song Que's swordsmanship and martial arts skills, even Ren Shaoming's father, "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao, could only do one or two swords after he was defeated by "Martial Lord" Bi Xuan and his martial arts regressed. , not to mention the weaker Ren Shaoming.
He never expected that "Heavenly Sword" would actually leave Lingnan and take action himself. Ren Shaoming, his Zuo Dharma Protector "Evil Monk" Fa Nan, as well as many senior members of the Iron Cavalry Association were beheaded by Song Que on the spot. There was chaos, leaving him unharmed. Leave without damage.
"The Iron Cavalry Association has mixed qualities, good and bad. There have always been different opinions on which party to form an alliance with. Only because they were frightened by Ren Shaoming's authority, they seemed to be united. When Ren Shaoming's big tree fell, the hozens below naturally fell into pieces."
Fu Gonger knew that Du Fuwei did have the intention of colluding with the Tiele people. Faced with Shi Qingxuan's meaningful inquiry, he sighed softly and did not answer directly. Instead, he turned to the upcoming changes in the Tiele Cavalry Association. , continued:
"Old Du, the Iron Cavalry has offended such a powerful force as the Song Clan and ended up like this. It is no longer possible to recruit Tiele as foreign aid in a short time. It may be too late to cut off the relationship with them now."
"Looking at the intentions of Miss Shi and the person behind her, it is obvious that they have no good impressions of foreigners like the Tiele people, and even went so far as to list them as enemies invading the Central Plains, and want to cooperate with the Song clan to expel them."
"Currently, 'Yanni' Chang Zhen, who was sent by Shaoming Ren as a messenger and has committed numerous crimes, is still in the military camp. Why not take her down immediately to show her solidarity with the Iron Cavalry Association, 'Flying Eagle' Qu Ao, and Tiele people? Determination to break up?"
Intimidating Du Fuwei to openly deal with the messengers he recruited and go back on his words can significantly reduce his prestige as the leader of an army and prepare for the power grab planned by Fu Gong.
Hearing Fu Gong'er's speech about making a decision for him, Du Fuwei couldn't help but feel shocked and angry, knowing that the other party pointed out the collusion with Tiele to Shi Qingxuan through his injury, revealing his hidden ambition.
Under this situation, if you act a little carelessly, you will end up in a similar situation to Zhai Rang and Li Mi in Wagangzhai. They will become alienated and gradually lose control of the Jianghuai Army.
However, compared with the Jianghuai Army outside him, Du Fuwei naturally valued his own martial arts and life more. Although he was deeply dissatisfied with Fu Gong's words, he did not show it. Instead, he nodded and said:
"Lao Fu's suggestion is indeed a good one. Xiong Dan, where is 'Yanni' Chang Zhen now? Lead a team of people to capture her immediately and hand her over to Miss Shi."
As a loyal subordinate of Du Fuwei, Wang Xiongdan also heard the implication of Fu Gong's words. He glared at him fiercely and prepared to count a group of law enforcement experts to capture Chang Zhen.
But before he could step out of the tent door, a bald soldier next to him suddenly jumped up. His coat expanded and exploded, revealing a long coat as bright as clouds. At the same time, he shook his hand in the air and shot out a puff of cow hair. The thin needle was inserted into the back of Shi Qingxuan's head.
This person is Chang Zhen, a disguised "Yanni" who is proficient in many deceptive techniques passed down from the Yingui sect. He secretly takes on the identity of a Jianghuai Army soldier and uses it to eavesdrop on intelligence.
After realizing that the situation had changed, she became furious and knew that she could only get a draw with Wang Xiongdan at best, so she had to flee immediately. Before leaving, she suddenly attacked Shi Qingxuan, who was Zhao Qing's representative, with a poisonous needle in an attempt to make Jianghuai's army Encountered Zhao Qing's possible anger.
By using the master's secret skill "Ecstasy Colorful Clothes", hundreds of poisonous needles suddenly shot out, catching him off guard. Even a master who was one or two better than "Yanni" might not be able to block it in time.
Especially Shi Qingxuan, who had his back turned to her. In Chang Zhen's opinion, there was a 50-60% chance of being hit, and it would have to be when Du Fuwei and Fugong intercepted it, which would lead to chaos in the scene and create trouble for himself. opportunity for escape.
In an instant, she jumped ten feet away, and "Yanni" Chang Zhen let out a sweet laugh like a silver bell. Her eyes were filled with light. Just when she was about to speak, she left remarks that further aroused the conflict, but all she saw was the sword light all over her body. In a flash, the tendons of his limbs were cut off and he fell straight to the ground.
"The sword that senior lent to Qingxuan is indeed extraordinary in power." Under the shocked eyes of Du Fuwei, Fugong'er, and Wang Xiongdan, all the poisonous needles shot at Shi Qingxuan were instantly destroyed by the bright sword. The light was chopped into several pieces and fell to the ground one after another.
She turned around and glanced at the bald Chang Zhen who had just been chopped down by Zhao Qing's remote-controlled flying sword, and said calmly: "Just now, the senior gave instructions through the sword. He just cut with the cavalry and captured a mere beauty." Ni', sincerity is not enough."
"It is best to turn the army around and take advantage of the Chaos and Splits of the Iron Cavalry Association, which is impacting the nearby Poyang Association, to eliminate these evil-doing bandits and rescue the local civilians who have been bullied."
"As long as you punish rape and eradicate evil and do a certain amount of good deeds, wounds like Du Fuwei's will naturally be healed by her. On the contrary, evildoers who have been marked by spiritual brands will be able to escape wherever they go. There is only one ending."
When Shi Qingxuan relayed Zhao Qing's words, the shining azure Ziwu Sword penetrated "Yanni" Chang Zhen's pipa bone, dragged her back to the camp and put her down, then hovered in front of Du Fuwei's unconscious arms, emanating The faint glow suppressed part of the effect of the foreign energy.
The blade of the sword vibrated the air rapidly, simulating the voice of Zhao Qing himself: "Du Fuwei, the Tiele man Ren Shaoming you colluded with, and Fu Gonger, the true preacher Zuo Youxian you contacted, have all died. If you don't want to follow them, To follow in the footsteps of the two of them, we must change our minds..."
The sword that Shi Qingxuan carries with him can exert the power of that master. What kind of vast magical power is this? Fu Gonger secretly contacted the Demon Sect Zuo Youxian, what happened?
Finally feeling the presence of his arm again, although he had not regained his full strength, Du Fuwei was still very excited and almost did not dare to disobey the instructions issued by Zhao Qing.
…
While distractedly sensing the situation at Shi Qingxuan's place, Zhao Qing listened to Wang Shichong's recitation of "The Wisdom Sutra on the Origin of All Laws" away from Zhang Zhenzhou, and found that when facing an irresistible enemy, the opponent's courage became special Small, no forgery.
However, as Wang Shichong said, the "Zhi Jing" he knew was only a manuscript copied by Xu Kaishan. It was completely incomparable with the original version with comments from previous sages. It did not contain the essence of thousands of comments and lacked a lot of details.
Since Wang Shichong himself had only practiced a small and insignificant part of the "Book of Wisdom", this volume of martial arts classics written in ancient Persian is much more difficult to understand, and some of the content must be referred to the Great Ming Dynasty. You can only practice it by teaching secret books such as "Light Sutra".
Listening to Wang Shichong reciting for a while, she learned that the "Zhi Jing" is divided into two volumes: the "Yujin Chapter" about the mind method, and the "Wanfa Chapter" about the martial arts, plus the "roots" and "roots" that emphasize the profoundness of this sutra. "Wisdom" makes up the name "Wisdom of the Origin of All Dharmas".
These mainly include "Spirit Refining Technique", "Ming Yu Gong", "Blood Hand Miracle Technique", "Heng Nian Jue" and other profound secret arts. They can be divided into eighteen heavens in total, turning from darkness to light, and finally reaching the great light. To the realm.
Whether it is the "Spiritual Refining Technique" that majors in spirituality and is divided into light and dark paths, or the "Mingyu Technique" and "Blood Hand" that can be used as internal skills and mental techniques, representing light and darkness respectively, they are all included in these eighteen layers. in the division of heaven;
However, even the ninth level of "Mingyu Gong" or "Blood Hand", which is the highest level, only focuses on the light and dark paths. It can only be deviated and cultivated to the limit, which is equivalent to the seventeenth level of the "Book of Wisdom".
It is said that only those who understand the most profound and mysterious "Heng Nian Jue" that connects light and darkness may be qualified to complete the last level and gain a glimpse of the mysteries involving the fundamental light and darkness of the universe.
According to Zhao Qing's preliminary inference, the practice of "The Wisdom of the Roots of Control of Ten Thousand Dharmas" is very different from most Central Plains martial arts. Many of the contents involve the mysterious and mysterious brain, and the meridians and meridians hidden in it. Blood vessels and nerves are developed and utilized to form a self-contained system.
Since there was too much content in the "Zhi Jing", after listening to Wang Shichong memorize a small part of the previous summary, she asked him to stop first and mentioned the matter of controlling the Sui army's navy.
"Let the navy commanded by Wang surrender?" When Wang Shichong heard Zhao Qing's request, he was immediately shocked. He thought it was impossible to control a large army by personal force alone. He couldn't help but frown and think hard.
However, when he first heard that the situation was not good, he seemed to be at a loss what to do, but an old fox is an old fox after all, and after he calmed down, he immediately showed his true colors of being sophisticated and capable.
"From the beginning of the Qin Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, conscription has been the main method, with occasional recruitment, which is only for auxiliary purposes. The so-called conscription means that all adult men must enlist in the army, serve for a number of years when there is nothing to do, and go to the battlefield when there is something to do."
Wang Shichong lowered his head and pondered, and then said: "But since the Western Wei Dynasty, the government military system has been implemented. Production is done at home during the week, and military training is done during the off-farm time. Every year, one has to go to the capital or the border to guard for one month, go to the battlefield during the war, and return home after the war, with weapons You must prepare your own equipment, food, and equipment.”
"Yang Guang has been fighting for many years, and the soldiers have been stationed far away for a long time, which is unbearable. They either desert and flee, or they rebel. If the recruitment system is used instead, in this situation, as long as the food and salary are sufficient, the brave men are willing to work hard, and they will be far better. The system of conscription.”
"A considerable part of the Sui navy that supported Liyang was recruited by Wang. If there was a large amount of money and food to reward and maintain their livelihood, it would not be impossible for Yang Guang's evil deeds to make people angry. It’s possible to recruit them.”
"There is really enough food and salary, and I can persuade the deputy general Zhang Zhenzhou to cooperate, and with the assistance of Wang's generals, I can quickly deal with those who are unwilling to cooperate in the army. Under my own operation, there is indeed a big possibility that the navy will betray the Sui Dynasty in one fell swoop. .”
Having said this, Wang Shichong showed a troubled look on his face and said:
"However, to be equipped with a five-toothed ship, the navy's treatment is actually quite good. It requires at least tens of thousands of silver coins and more money and food reserves to suppress the opposition in a short time. "
"The money that Wang brought with him on this trip was far less than this amount, and since he was on an expedition, his reputation was not enough to convince his Sui army that he could supply it for a long time. It is really a big problem to do this... …”
"There is no need to worry about money and food." At this moment, a middle-aged man with a silver beard and white hair held a cane and walked slowly along the city wall. It was "Silver Beard" Song Lu, the master of the Song Dynasty, who interjected: " Our Song family can now spend 80,000 taels of gold as payment for the navy army."
Behind Song Lu, "Heavenly Sword" Song Que and Song Shidao also looked at Zhao Qing, Wang Shichong, and Zhang Zhenzhou. No one raised any objections. Obviously, this statement has been supported by Song Que, the leader of the Song clan.
