On a hillside outside Pingbo Mansion, Feng Xingping and Ma Cunyong, masters and apprentices in simple clothes, were stewing fish soup.
The master and apprentice sat next to the hanging pot, adding firewood and communicating.
"Master, now it seems that Pingbo Mansion is in disaster, and there is absolutely no reason for it. What should we do?"
Feng Xingping also agreed with his apprentice's statement.
Fighting against the Mullet King is something that is really unthinkable. Fortunately, these guys have the courage.
"Pingbo Mansion is doomed this time, and Master Yuan will probably be buried with him. We probably won't be able to get his righteousness, so we have to give up!"
"Are you just giving up?"
"What else can we do?"
"But in today's troubled times, etiquette has collapsed, and the number of people with gentlemanly demeanor has decreased greatly. It is even rarer to have people with pure Haoran righteousness. Without Haoran righteousness, we don't know how long our practice of "The Book of Foolishness" will be delayed. ..."
When Feng Xingping heard this, he also sighed:
“There’s nothing we can do about it, we can’t stay here and die.
At this time of life and death, it is still important to be wise and protect yourself.
If something happens to us, the "foolish and stubborn way of heaven" will be broken. "
"Then master, where should we go next?"
"...Your master left a few prophecies before his death:
It's hard to get in the way of talent, and you won't pay back if you hit a wall.
Ignorance will not change, but mediocrity will lead to stupidity. "
"What does this poem mean?"
"Your master told me that in fact, we are not talented enough in practicing the "Foolish and Stubborn Principle of Heaven", so we can only practice the two methods of human virtue and truth.
If we can find people who are capable of cultivating 'Heavenly Principle', our sect can prosper! "
“It’s hard to get in the way of talent, and you won’t pay back if you hit a wall.
Ignorance will not change, mediocrity will lead to stupidity..."
Ma Cunyong read these sentences again and asked,
"Are these few words left by the master to provide guidance to those who have the appearance of 'Heavenly Principle'?"
"Yes, in fact, I brought you out not only to find Haoran's righteousness for practice, but also to find the figure of 'Heavenly Principle'."
"Does the master have any clues?"
"Now we have traveled through Yuzhou, Ganzhou, Puzhou, Qingzhou and Longzhou, but we have not found it.
Let’s go to Pingzhou as our next stop! "
"Pingzhou."
"Yes, there is a well-known Mr. Bai over there in Pingzhou, and he must have a pure and upright spirit.
Even if you can't find someone with the same ideals as "Heavenly Reason", you can still try to get this person's awe-inspiring righteousness. "
When Ma Cunyong heard this, his eyes lit up:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Bai's reputation is much louder than Master Yuan's, and his awe-inspiring righteousness should be stronger."
As he was talking, he saw that the fish in the pot was already cooked.
The master and apprentice were about to carry the bowl and use chopsticks when they heard a young man's voice:
"You two are eating fish here. I wonder if you can give some to me?"
When the master and disciple heard the sound, they were both shocked.
With their cultivation, they didn't even notice the other party's approach.
He immediately looked sideways and saw that the visitor was a young beggar, accompanied by a donkey.
This beggar has a handsome face and is very young. His clothes are very shabby. Although he looks sloppy, he is actually not dirty.
But his eyes were closed tightly, making him look like a blind man.
"Who are you?"
"Don't be nervous, you two. I'm just a passerby. I saw how sweet your fish soup was, so I was attracted to it and wanted to taste some."
Ma Cunyong was not sure where this person was coming from and did not answer.
Feng Xingping glanced at this man, then at the fish soup in the pot, and refused:
"There isn't much fish soup here. We, the master and the disciples, don't have enough. If you want to eat, you'd better go fishing yourself!"
As he said that, he divided the fish in the pot into two and put it into his and his apprentice's bowls, leaving no trace behind.
Seeing this, the blind beggar said with some pity:
"Actually, I don't eat two of you for free, I can give you something in exchange."
When Feng Xingping heard this, he glanced sideways at him and saw that this man was not even as well-dressed as himself and he looked like he had no official status.
In his opinion, people without official status are not worthy of respect. Even if the other person is also a monk, he will look down upon him and will not give him face.
He immediately and clearly refused:
"No, I advise you to fend for yourself and go fishing by yourself!"
After the other party refused twice, the blind beggar did not stalk him. He just sat down and leaned against the stone, waiting for the sunrise.
Seeing him like this, the master and the apprentice were a little worried that this one would snatch the food, so they both wolfed down the fish in a few mouthfuls and drank up the soup as well, leaving nothing at all.
After looking at the remaining fish bones and then at the blind beggar, Feng Xingping poured the fish bones on the ground and crushed them with his feet, ensuring that it would be impossible to pick them up and eat them again.
Ma Cunyong followed suit and acted in the same way.
After the master and apprentice finished eating, they looked at each other, ignored the pot, turned around and cast a spell to fly away, not staying here.
The blind beggar "looked" in the direction they were leaving, and said with a smile:
"That's all. Since I'm willing to go down this crooked road, I won't care."
After saying that, he stood up, walked to the hanging pot, stroked the hair of the donkey next to him, and said with a smile:
"It seems like you have to wash the pot, add water, and prepare firewood yourself. Well, you also have to catch the fish yourself."
Moving his hands, his eyes slowly opened, one golden and the other purple, scanning the sea and sky in the distance:
"Speaking of it, it's a bit evocative..."
...
Under the arrangements of the elders of the Lihai audience, a huge magic circle was erected along the coast of Pingbo Mansion.
This is the "Yuntian Canghai" formation of Lihaiguan. Using this formation as a defense is an important guarantee for Pingbo Mansion.
Yuan Chixin, Xiangu Henyu and others were on the top of the three-circle city tower reinforced by the sea.
The Lady Henyu is three feet above the ground, sitting cross-legged in the air, closing her eyes and regulating her breath.
Suddenly, his eyes opened and he said calmly:
"coming."
Yuan Chixin, who was looking at the defense blueprints, heard the words and immediately cheered up, came to the edge of the city and looked into the distance.
After a while, I saw huge waves rising where the sea and the sky met in the distance.
The sky in the distance also turned into layers of black clouds, and thick fog followed.
This time, no one needed to shout. Anyone with eyes along the coast of Pingbo Mansion could see it.
Even a blind man can hear this sound.
Even if you are deaf, mute and blind, you can still feel that the aura between heaven and earth is starting to become dull and oppressive.
When the scene in the distance was viewed from far to near, countless sea tribes were seen waving flags and drums in the waves, and their weapons were shaking. The scene looked extremely ferocious.
The defenders along the coast were frightened when they saw how powerful the monsters were.
Many people were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, and many people simply dropped their weapons and ran away.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhixin immediately picked up the official seal and read:
"Calm down!"
An invisible wave of power immediately emitted from the official seal.
Wherever they passed, the mood of the soldiers gradually calmed down. Although they were still a little scared, no one ran away directly.
Seeing the menacing attack from the other side, Yuan Zhong was a little nervous and asked Xiangu Henyu:
"Xiangu, the other party is an army of monsters, and we are all humans...
Can you win? "
Fairy Henyu still said calmly:
"Most of the monsters on the other side are just little monsters who have barely managed to become half-human.
These little demons are no different than ordinary soldiers.
As for the enemy demon general, we will have to deal with it ourselves. "
Yuan Zhong couldn't see his own hidden strength, so he would naturally feel uneasy, but in the view of Henyu Xiangu, his defense was not bad.
At a glance, everyone on the garrison along the coast exudes a yang energy.
Especially when tens of thousands of people form an army, the Yang Qi has long been invisibly entangled together, like a continuous sea of fire.
Such momentum is actually not weak at all.
It's just that mortals can't see this, so they feel fear subconsciously.
The army on the opposite side roared and rushed over without stopping.
Seeing this, Fairy Hate Yu expressed her judgment:
"It's just a vanguard force, used to test the reality."
Yuan Zhixin felt relieved after hearing this and ordered his soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy.
Soon, the monsters rushed towards the shore with huge waves.
The momentum seemed to submerge Pingbo Mansion in one fell swoop.
Just when the wave started to rise, we saw the protective formation along the coast was activated, and the energy of clouds and water surged, forcing the wave down.
Although the wave was suppressed and did not directly flood Pingbo Mansion, it did inundate more than ten feet of beach along the coast.
The Hai Clan soldiers will land from the sea and rush to the shore one by one, screaming.
As soon as they landed, the little demon came into contact with the yang energy that was like a sea of fire. His whole body was scalded and smoking, and he screamed repeatedly.
The soldiers of Pingbo Mansion behind the fortifications didn't know this. They just saw that some monsters on the opposite side were very cruel, and they "committed suicide" to cheer them up. Their momentum was really extraordinary.
The little demon who was burned to death and burned by Yang Qi is the front part.
As the number of monsters landing increased, bringing a large amount of damp and damp water vapor, the impact of the yang energy was much smaller.
As the enemy advanced, a large number of arrows were shot out immediately after the monsters entered the effective shooting range of the soldiers.
The human race forming an army is terrifying, and all methods of warfare will be tainted with Yang Qi, murderous Qi, evil Qi, etc.
Weapons containing these auras can directly kill monsters, monsters and the like.
The little demons were hit by arrows, screamed and fell to the ground on the spot.
When the soldiers saw this, they suddenly became excited.
It turns out that these monsters look ferocious, but in fact they are just that. Being hit by an arrow will still cause pain and death.
Things in this world must not be understood by others.
Once you are thoroughly understood by others, those who have lost their awe will trample you under their feet without mercy.
Under such a seemingly ordinary confrontation, the mentality of the soldiers was rapidly changing...
Under the rain of arrows, the little demons fought their way out and finally reached the human race's defenses.
At this time, they realized that siege warfare was not easy.
This is not a real city, just a higher fortification.
Even so, the sea tribesmen without ladder hook locks were still blocked.
They are accustomed to fighting in the sea and have no experience in fighting on land.
The defensive soldiers in the fortifications used spears, spears, etc. to stab the little demons who tried to climb up one by one to death.
Monsters are no big deal, just like people, they will die if they are stabbed.
The demon general who commanded the advance force of the Sea Tribe to attack did not rush forward directly.
Because he saw Xiangu Henyu and others on the thickened fortress opposite.
He also knew very well that a vanguard force could not easily take down Pingbo Mansion.
The main purpose of doing this was to test the combat effectiveness of the Pingbo Mansion defenders.
If they were all at a vulnerable level, it would be simple.
But now it seems that the opponent's preparations are not bad, and it is estimated that the team he brought will not be able to win.
In order to prevent the monks on the opposite side from suddenly coming out to kill him, the demon general watched from a distance and showed no concern for the life and death of his little demons.
The fighting between the government soldiers and the little demons gradually became more intense.
Fighting and fighting, Fu Bing's self-confidence was gradually knocked out.
At first, the soldiers just let go, but when they hit the back, they even dared to break out of the fortifications and carry out counterattack killings.
The little demons, on the other hand, have completely lost the ferocious arrogance they had at the beginning.
Not long after, the little monsters, as sea creatures, began to seek advantages and avoid harm. Many little monsters were frightened by the fighting power of the human race and began to flee.
Once someone starts running away, there's no stopping it...
Seeing all the little demons fleeing in large numbers, the leading demon general knew that this time the temptation was almost over.
He also turned around and planned to leave.
Just as he turned around, a bolt from the blue suddenly fell and hit him in the back.
"ah!!!"
...
