On the other side, in the Sishui Pass, Jia Yue stood in front, arranging the defense of Sishui Pass to Han Rong... But the real leader of the generals, Huang Feihu, stood aside aggrievedly, waiting for his wife...
"The battle to annihilate the evil god is of great importance, and Dashang needs to gather all his strength. Therefore, you will not have any support this month!"
"Bishui Pass defense, Han Rong is in charge. You have only one task, to defend! Do your best to defend!"
"The Shangqing lineage has set up a defensive formation. The four generals of the Mo family will guard the gate. You and Yu Hua will guard the middle army. As long as you don't leave the gate and defend with Sishui Pass, even if the quasi-sage comes, it will be enough to stop January. !”
"Remember, this month, as long as the Sishui Pass is not lost, it will be a great achievement!"
Jia Yue taught the people in front of him earnestly, especially Yu Hua and the four generals of the Demon Family...
"Yu Hua and the four generals of the Mo family, as monks, are arrogant. But war is not only about the strength of the army, but also about strategy. Sometimes patience and concession are not failures, but for the better. Accumulation!"
"You must not attack at will. You must obey Major General Han's orders in everything!"
"We will obey military orders!"
Yu Hua and the four members of the Mo family looked at each other. They had never seen Jia Yue be so cautious before. They all straightened their expressions and nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, Jia Shangshu, as long as I am here, I will definitely control them and the pass will never be lost!"
"Well, with you here, I feel relieved."
Jia Shangshu nodded and patted Han Rong on the shoulder... But then, she still looked at Jin Ling.
Yunxiao understood and handed over a jade card that exuded precious light: "Major General Han, there are three clones of my strength in this card, and each clone has the power of my blow... No matter it is an enemy attack, or Even if they are disobedient, you can activate the clones and suppress them!"
"Thank you, Master Yun!"
Han Rong was overjoyed. Without this thing, he really has no confidence in suppressing the four warriors under his command! But with the jade sign, Sishui Pass is really worry-free!
Yes, he has never worried that Xiqi will break through the defense... Are you kidding me? Do you really think that the rapid development of Dashang in recent years, all of which have been applied to the latest technology of the Ministry of Industry in Sishui Pass, are all vegetarians?
As long as there is no internal chaos, relying on the pass, let alone a quasi-sage, even a saint, he is sure to survive two moves!
Seeing Han Rong looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, the four generals of the Demon Family and Yu Hua looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces... Are they really so untrustworthy?
After the explanation, Yunxiao opened the space channel and left with the generals.
Han Rong did not delay after everyone left, and immediately arranged the defense tasks to be on guard against Xiqi's attack.
As for Xiqi, for the time being, he was busy relocating, reorganizing his defenses, and practicing formations. In a short period of time, he really didn’t have time to attack Bishui Pass... For a time, many powerful people were keeping a close eye on Xiqi and Dashang. The war suddenly calmed down so strangely...
——
On the other side, within Dashang territory, is Meishan!
On the top of the mountain, a Taoist with a sharp mouth and big ears was bathing in the moonlight, inhaling spiritual energy, and practicing silently... Suddenly, a greeting woke the Taoist up.
The Taoist opened his black pupils without whites and looked at the sound... He saw an ape with his hands stretched over his feet, tall and straight, wearing armor and holding a big stick, appearing under the boulder where the Taoist was sitting cross-legged!
"Brother."
"Well, second brother, are you back?"
The Taoist said hello, and the ape didn't notice. He turned over and jumped to the opposite side of the Taoist. He sat cross-legged and sat down steadily, without any sign of jumping away like a hozen.
On the contrary, those captivating eyes were more like those of a Taoist monk, calm, calm, and somewhat general-like.
"Second brother, is there any result from this expedition down the mountain?"
The Taoist asked, and the ape nodded and told the news he had inquired about: "Brother, I have asked someone to ask, and the surrounding mountain gods, river gods and other gods are interested in participating in this operation... The person behind it is really planning to do so. In the territory of Dashang, a disaster has occurred! The plan is very big!"
"How could this be?"
The Taoist frowned and said in disbelief: "Aren't they afraid that Dashang will settle the score with them? Don't they think that Xiqi can really win over Dashang?"
"I don't know about this. However, I heard from one or two friends that the people behind the scenes promised that even if the Great Shang was not captured by Xiqi, they would be sure to save their lives. They would even introduce them to the great wilderness. In the midst of teaching!”
The ape frowned and said, and the Taoist's eyes lit up: "Is this true?"
"Brother, you don't even believe these lies, do you?"
The ape looked at the Taoist speechlessly; "In this ancient world, there are only three religions that can be called great religions: Chan, Jie, and Western... The Chan religion is the most important foundation. To accept disciples, they must have extremely high qualifications and be innate. Creatures take form. In the eyes of Chanjiao disciples, these creatures are all wet-born eggs, covered with hair and horns. How can they enter the eyes of Chanjiao?
Western religions are the best at taking advantage of situations. Now that the fortunes of the great merchants are rising, and the threat to Kunlun Mountain a few years ago, they will definitely not secretly cause trouble, make the human race angry, and threaten Lingshan again! "
"Doesn't that mean that the person behind the scenes is a disciple of Jiejiao?"
The Taoist said in surprise: "I heard that tens of thousands of immortals came to court without looking at their feet..."
"Jie Jiao is even more impossible! Brother, have you forgotten that Jie Jiao has been passed down by Wen Zhong for three generations, but that is the Grand Master of Shang! In terms of the importance attached to Da Shang, Jie Jiao is far more important than the other two sects, and it is even more impossible. Send people secretly to cause chaos."
"Furthermore, I see that the god is hesitating, and I'm afraid there seems to be a big problem with Jiejiao... Brother, we are out of touch with all the creatures in the ancient world. We can no longer stay in Meishan, we have to go out completely!"
"go out,"
The Taoist smiled bitterly: "You think I don't want to? But with the strength of the seven of us, except for you, the second brother, we are all golden immortals... In the ancient world, if the seven of us go out without background or great religion, we will become someone else The existence of the food in the mouth was dug out of the demon elixir and became a spiritual material for others to cultivate!"
"Instead of taking my brothers to death, it's better to stay in the mountains and practice in order to live forever!"
"But don't we have nothing to do now?"
The ape sighed: "We, as the gods of Meishan Mountain, are now threatened by the people behind the scenes. How can it be normal if the other party dares to cause disaster in Dashang? If we don't respond to the edict and they come to us in person, how should we deal with it?"
"Is it possible, brother, that you want to give up the Meishan Dojo? Give up the human incense sacrifice?"
Yes, the people talking were none other than the eldest brother Dai Li (dog spirit) and the second brother Yuan Hong among the Seven Sages of Meishan!
Together with their five brothers, they are collectively known as the Seven Saints of Meishan, and are the gods of Meishan... They protect the people on weekdays and obtain incense for humane luck for cultivation. When the Great Shang purged the evil gods, because they only accepted the offerings of fairy fruits and incense, they escaped. Tribulation.
But a few days ago, some mountain gods from the surrounding area came to tell them that there was a powerful person who wanted to gather them and give some warning to Dashang so that they could resume human sacrifice again... Dai Li noticed something was wrong at the first time and let him Yuan Hong, who has the highest level of cultivation among the seven brothers, went down the mountain to investigate, hoping to find a chance of survival.
But who knows the result...
Dai Li was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Our brothers' lives are more important... Meishan, if it doesn't work, just give up!"
Yuan Hong was silent for a long time, but still reluctant to give up: "Is there nothing we can do? We have been running Meishan for thousands of years, and we just give up like this... Brother, I really don't want to give up."
"What can I do if I don't want to give up?" Dai Li smiled bitterly: "Except for my second brother, who was born and raised by you, the six of us are all acquired demons... Fortunately, we were favored by heaven and earth and transformed into demons. But in this ancient world, it is difficult to move without a backer. ah!"
"Backer...backer..."
Yuan Hong was pacing on the spot, thinking about ways to break the situation... Suddenly, he suddenly clapped his palms!
"Brother, I have an idea!"
"Oh? What can I do? Tell me quickly?"
Dai Li looked at Yuan Hong in surprise... Among the seven brothers, Yuan Hong had the highest qualifications, the highest cultivation level, and the highest spiritual intelligence. Even though he is the eldest brother, he still has the age advantage in transformation. The real talker is actually Yuan Hong!
"Take this opportunity to find a backer for our seven brothers!"
Yuan Hong said slowly in a deep voice!
"backing?"
Dai Li was stunned for a moment and did not react: "Other than Jie Jiao, where else can we accommodate our backers?"
"Yes! Human Race, Great Shang!"
Dai Li looked at Yuan Hong in surprise: "Second brother, do you know what you are talking about? Who are we? We are the demon clan, and we have a feud with the human clan! If you join the human clan, you will not be afraid of them taking the demon pill. Skin and bones, and eat all the flesh?"
The day when the Seven Saints of Meishan transformed, it happened to be shortly after the end of the Lich War... The human race hated the demon race very deeply! Whenever we meet, either you die or I die! What's more, they would rather die themselves than pull the monsters to blow themselves up.
After experiencing several human-monster wars, Dai Li never thought about joining the human race again!
"Brother, today is different from the past. The human race today is not the human race back then."
Yuan Hong looked at Dai Li seriously and explained his reasons: "First of all, the human race has gone through several generations. Although they still have a deep hatred for the monster race, they can also distinguish who is their real enemy. We He is not a member of the Ancient Demon Court, and he is not without the ability to fight, and he is not stained with the blood of the human race... As long as he goes to Dashang to reveal his identity, not only will he be treated well, at least he will not be hostile. "
"Secondly, we have become mountain gods in Meishan, and we have always protected the people in the territory. We also have the luck and merits of the human race. I think it can also add some weight to us."
"The most critical reason that made me determined to join the human race was the last time the human race cleaned up the incense gods in various places... I wonder, brother, if you still remember, the human race general who almost killed us back then was named Yang Jian. He was the central court of the human race. A first-class official!"
"He said at the beginning that if we can sincerely protect the people... in the future, we may not be able to hold the position of a real god! But now, some people want to summon the gods to cause chaos in the territory of Dashang, which is our best Chance!"
"Tell me, if we tell the big merchant king this news, and coupled with our previous merits in protecting the people, can we become a small general in the big merchant?"
Following Yuan Hong's well-founded analysis, Dai Li's eyes gradually brightened... Yes, what his second brother said was so right! They have never killed or eaten anyone, so what the hell are they afraid of!
"Besides, I heard that Dashang Chaoge has a recruitment hall... Brother, I want to try it!"
"I can't believe that we can also find a new path and a greater support for our seven brothers!"
Looking at Yuan Hong's sincere eyes, Dai Li was silent for a moment... and slammed the boulder under his seat!
"You are right! We must not sit still and wait for death! We must find a new way out! Second brother, I fully support you!"
Yuan Hong was overjoyed... He had obviously surpassed Dai Li in realm a long time ago. The reason why he did not snatch Dai Li's position as eldest brother was because Dai Li was more courageous than him in making certain important decisions!
Sure enough, since Dai Li had made a plan, there was no need to delay it!
"Second brother, since you have decided to take refuge, you can't tie your hands! Just for you to go and for us seven brothers to go, it's not enough for the human race to take it seriously."
"So... I must give enough credit for joining Dashang this time!"
After saying that, Dai Li stood up and walked back and forth on the boulder several times before saying, "Second brother, tomorrow you, fifth and sixth brothers will go to the Talent Recruitment Hall to ask for an audience with the Human King!"
"What about you, brother?"
Yuan Hong asked in confusion when he heard that Dai Li did not come with him, and even only asked him to bring two people with him.
"I and the other three brothers are going to attend the conference organized by the people behind the scenes! You first convince the King of Humans, and when the Great Shang organizes personnel to go to annihilate them, we can just cooperate inside and outside to kill the people behind the scenes, and even the evil man-eating god. Catch them all in one fell swoop!”
A hint of violence flashed in Dai Li's eyes... Let those evil gods become stepping stones for his brothers!
"Boss! Is this...is it too dangerous?"
Yuan Hong never expected that his eldest brother would be so radical after deciding on something?
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the cub!" Dai Li said fiercely: "If we want to become a member of the Great Shang as a demon clan, we must gamble! Only by gambling can we get the protection of the Great Shang!"
"And... with the current prosperity of big businessmen, this gamble is worth it!"
"This..." Yuan Hong hesitated for a moment, but thinking of what he saw when he went down the mountain to inquire about the news, especially the visibly improved lives of the people and the smiles on their faces, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Okay! "
From then on, Yuan Hong led his fifth brother Wu Long (centipede spirit) and sixth brother Chang Hao (snake spirit) to go straight to Dashang Chaoge!
——
On this day, Jia Yue, the Minister of Rites, was handling political affairs in the Eight Rooms Hall...
"Tell the Ministry of Works that the king is back and will stay in Chaoge for a month... Construction of all buildings in Chaoge is suspended! Give workers a month's leave to avoid building high-rise buildings and being discovered by the king in the palace!"
"In addition, contact all the concubines in the palace and return to Chaoge just in case. You must charm the king and stay in the palace. Don't go out to avoid discovering the latest changes in Chaoge!"
"Also, let me ask the Ministry of War how many generals have not arrived yet?"
"Contact the Dragon Clan within the territory to find out the specific time for the Divine Convocation Conference of the disciples to be held! Remember, I want the exact time! Even if you send someone undercover, you have to give me the time!"
While he was giving instructions, footsteps suddenly appeared outside the palace... Jia Yue looked out, "Xia Zhao Taishi?" !
