Su Ming looked at the extraordinary avatar in front of him and was filled with admiration. The 1.8 million luck points were indeed worth it. As long as he reached the realm of the soul, he could make his next plan with peace of mind.
At this moment, Xiaoyaoyou was calm, nodded, and bowed deeply to Su Ming, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for helping me reappear in this world." Obviously, although this clone belongs to Su Ming, it also has a certain sense of autonomy, just like the heart. Like a demon.
Su Ming stretched out his hand to grab it, and a pitch-black Guqin emerged from the void. He gently pushed it to Xiaoyaoyou, "I'll leave this Tianlong Qin to you. You can refine it again when you enter the realm of the soul." If there is no world peace, let’s just make do with it for the time being.”
"It doesn't matter." He held the guqin in his palm, and his five fingers floated on the strings. A pure and beautiful sound jumped out, and the spiritual energy around him also fluctuated with the sound of the piano. It was soothing and leisurely, and it was infinitely higher than Su Ming's realm.
As soon as the song finished, Su Ming felt relaxed and refreshed. He even made some progress in the realm that had not stagnated for a long time. He exclaimed spontaneously, "Qin said that the world is not harmonious, and people call for a happy journey. It is really extraordinary."
"Fellow Taoist, that's ridiculous." Xiaoyaoyou nodded slightly. Although he was modest, there was a hint of pride in his eyebrows. He was obviously quite proud of his piano skills. He looked at the Tianlong Qin in his hand with a regretful expression. His expression said, "It's a pity that this piano is not an immortal after all."
Afterwards, Su Ming handed him a storage ring, "There is a black whip inside, and there is a remnant soul of Xiang Yu in it, which can help you condense Marshal Impermanence's clone. As for the power similar to the power of the Blood God, I'm afraid Only the Demon Cult has it, so I’ll look for it again when I have the opportunity in the future.”
"Okay, after I step into Yuanshen, I can start this matter. With Xiang Yu's remnant soul in hand, Marshal Impermanence will be even more powerful than before."
Su Ming felt enlightened and said in a deep voice, "In three days, you will go through the heavenly tribulation. I will take advantage of this time to arrange your background and identity."
Xiaoyaoyou readily agreed and continued to add, "I think so too. The three sects have a great influence in the world of immortality. It is very easy to check a person. My suggestion is not to do everything, but to secretly release information to guide you. I am As a descendant of Guigu, there is no need to hide his origins in Zongheng."
Su Ming pondered for a moment and came up with a new idea, "This world has always had examples of the descendants of Guigu appearing in the world. However, about a thousand years ago, the descendants of Guigu disappeared after appearing briefly. I suspect that it is related to the three sects. It happened to be This is used to test their reaction, and at the same time, this identity can also give an explanation to the court."
"Okay! In three days, I will begin to overcome the tribulation and officially enter the eyes of the world." After Su Ming made the arrangements, he transformed into light and left.
The large formation shrouded in the valley naturally revealed a passage, and a leisurely and domineering poem chant echoed in his ears: "I have been dressing up as a fisherman for hundreds of years, and the past and present events are clear at the bottom of the eucalyptus. Those who do so will be left unpunished."
······
It had been half a year since Su Ming left the capital. The imperial court announced to the outside world that he was in seclusion, but all this could not be concealed from the investigation of the three sects. After getting the news, the Demon Sect also began to make plans.
In the past six months, the war between the Great Zhou and the southern rebels has indeed fallen into a quagmire. Although the Great Zhou's army is more powerful, the south occupies a favorable geographical location with water systems and rivers everywhere. Coupled with the help of the Dragon Clan, initially the Dazhou suffered a great loss.
Fortunately, Zhou Dynasty cut off the chaos with a sword and ended the war with the Tatars early. Even if the war in the south was unfavorable, it still did not shake the people's hearts.
After that battle, the Xuanyi Army established its power with the heads of the Zhou generals and firmly established its foothold. This battle also caused many southern aristocratic families to start to vacillate.
This battle caused the Great Zhou Dynasty to lose tens of thousands of elite troops, shattering the idea of the court princes to decide the outcome in one battle. Subsequently, the court also intended to train its troops, putting the newly trained new army into the war, and dispatching experienced veteran generals to lead the army.
The two sides fought steadily on the border line. Every time the Great Zhou went to war, they advanced step by step with the purpose of consuming the opponent's vitality. With the support of the Demon Cult, the rebels had a deeper foundation and various powerful defensive equipment emerged in endlessly. It made Da Zhou suffer a lot.
In fact, it is not that the imperial court cannot use all its strength to attack the rebels, but it is very risky. In this world, it is not just the two sides that affect a war. A Yuanshen monk can turn a war around regardless of the cost. The overall situation of the war. What if Dazhou puts all his money into it, and the Demon Cult doesn't respect martial ethics and uses dead soldiers to destroy Dazhou's army, then something will really happen.
Although the Gong Gong princes in the court had their own plans, in general, their approach was correct. The first decisive battle between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the southern rebels was the best opportunity. It was a pity that in that battle, the Great Zhou Dynasty Zhou lost.
The two sides fell into a tug-of-war, and the southern rebels had to join forces to keep warm. Previously, the Xuanyi Army sent out a message, "Qing Jun, Destroy Demon Buddha" raised the banner and became the leader of the alliance. Now the pressure from the Great Zhou has made the surrounding The rebels were somewhat out of breath.
Behind them are just aristocratic families, but they don't have the background of the Demon Cult. The pressure brought by Da Zhou is powerful and suffocating.
Therefore, for the sake of the family's inheritance, they had to give up their thoughts of fighting for the dragon and join the Xuanyi Army.
Therefore, the Xuanyi Army effortlessly captured the territory of the southern rebels with just one slogan and brought the territories of the five southern states under their control.
For these rebels, although they had no chance to fight for the dragon, they retreated completely. If the Xuanyi army won and swept the world, they would be able to follow the dragon. If the Xuanyi army lost, they would He can also surrender to Dazhou and sell the Xuanyi Army at a good price.
No matter what, they will not lose money, because they are no longer on the chessboard and cannot affect the overall situation.
The Xuanyi Army has territory in the five southern states, and the Demon Cult behind them has more support. They continue to expand and train their troops, and they don't have to worry about the logistics of weapons, food, and grass.
War is the most baptizing thing for people. Both sides are training their troops, fighting for their knowledge and logistics. Of course, they cannot participate in the top game. This war will ultimately be resolved by force.
The force that determines the outcome is not on the battlefield, but between the monks. The cost of the Demon Cult's investment gradually increased. As a result, the Dragon Clan entered the water system of the five southern states and occupied the rivers, lakes and seas, and benefited a lot. Neither of these two parties will easily Spit out whatever comes into your mouth.
Therefore, Su Ming's enemies are them. So far, the Taoist and Buddhist sects have just stood aside and have no intention of participating in the war. The demon clan has not continued to expand after occupying the southern border. Although the demon clan did not participate in the war, Su Ming Ming had to be on guard.
······
Xining Prefecture, Bazhou in the south.
The Xuanyi Army has made this their base camp. The land of Bazhou extends in all directions and is adjacent to the river. It can be said to be the throat of the five southern states.
The decisive battle between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xuanyi Army took place here. The Xuanyi Army occupies a favorable location and has the help of the Dragon Clan. The navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was vulnerable to the Dragon Clan. In addition, the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were eager to attack the enemy and underestimated the enemy's advance. That led to the failure of the counterinsurgency war.
After this battle, the alliance between the Dragon Clan and the Demon Cult was revealed to the world.
In fact, if the Xuanyi Army had not had insufficient foundation, they could have waited until the war reached a stalemate and Zhou invested more troops before using the Dragon Clan's trump card.
However, war is a continuation of politics. The imperial army's counter-rebellion army was aggressive, and the Xuanyi Army had to fight beautifully and cleanly in the first battle. Therefore, they gave up the idea of severely damaging the Zhou Dynasty and annihilated the enemy in one battle, thus establishing military morale without any effort. The ground took over other territories in the south.
Temporary gains and losses do not mean anything. Just like the current situation where the Xuanyi Army and Dazhou are in a stalemate and evenly matched, Tang Xuanyi is not satisfied with this battle situation.
He is the leader of the Xuanyi Army and the person supported by the Demon Cult. In this battle, the south is training troops and the north is also training troops. They seem to be evenly matched, but for them, it is like walking on a tightrope. Once they lose, , then it’s really gone.
Looking back at the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if the counter-rebellion army was defeated by the rebels, it would only be a bruise for the Great Zhou Dynasty, far from breaking an arm. They could continue to dispatch more troops from various places. Army.
Tang Xuanyi knew this very well, but he was helpless. Although he was supported by the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect's support for him was not as strong as imagined.
The three major sects have always had a limit when they entered the world to compete for the dragon. If they exceed a certain limit, they will be punished by other sects. This is a tacit understanding shared by the three sects for thousands of years, because as early as after the establishment of the three sects, they have been fighting for the dragon. Things got violent and almost broke out, dragging the entire sect into trouble.
Since then, the three sects have set rules to fight for the dragon in the world and not to participate too much.
Because of this restriction, Momen's current support for him is limited to logistical supplies and some talent support, but the thing he values most is missing.
Tang Xuanyi knew very well that even if he had the support of the Demon Cult, if he continued fighting like this, he would definitely lose, because he only occupied five states, while Da Zhou occupied thirty-one states, with billions of children The people are the foundation.
Putting aside resources and food, the biggest battle is population and the economy is at stake. Once the young men of the five southern states are finished fighting, the outcome of this war will be self-evident.
Therefore, he had to open up the situation as soon as possible. However, the veteran generals sent by Dazhou were very stable. He tried every method and could not completely defeat him. He occupied the city, captured one city today, and attacked another city tomorrow. Even if he could not capture it, he could not defeat it. There was no sloppiness, and the defense arrangement was watertight. He couldn't find any chance.
The war situation has reached this point, and the cities of the five southern states have been eroded a lot, but overall there is not much loss. However, he will definitely lose due to the ebb and flow of one thing.
However, what Tang Xuanyi didn't expect was that the Demon Sect had already had an idea.
Now that Tang Xuanyi occupies the territory of the five states, the Demon Cult has already been looking for Dragon Vein to prepare him to become the king. If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly. Proclaiming the king can not only enhance the cohesion of the five states, but also snatch the dragon energy belonging to the Great Zhou. Killing two birds with one stone, on the other hand, it can also intimidate the Great Zhou Center, forcing them to take the initiative to change the current situation.
Of course, finding dragon veins to help Tang Xuanyi become king is one thing, but on the other hand, Mo Lihai, the Holy Son of the Demon Sect, has already secretly formed an alliance with the demon clan.
He paid some price in exchange for the demon clan to participate in the war and contain Dazhou.
At the same time, Mo Lihai was also constantly looking for traces of Su Ming. Mo Lihai knew a lot about the situation in Dazhou. Although he didn't know what kind of trump card Emperor Shenwu had left for the royal family, he could vaguely guess it.
But he was the only one who couldn't see through this Pudu Cihang. He seemed to be hiding in the mist and couldn't see clearly. Among the three sects, Taoist Qingxu of the Kunlun Taoist Sect, Monk Wuxin of the Shaolin Temple, and he were among the new generation of Yuanshen monks. A leader, but Pudu Cihang not only broke through the boundaries and became the first Yuanshen monk in the new generation, his cultivation level also soared rapidly, reaching the level of the leader of the three religions.
Although the three sects have countless secrets, one of the criteria for measuring a sect is the combat power of the monks. The old people in the sect may have very strong combat power, but they are secrets after all and cannot be used lightly until a critical moment.
If they want to solve the Great Zhou Dynasty, they must dismember it, and the existence of Pudu Cihang is like the magic needle that fixes the sea. Unless this person is removed, no matter how great their victory is on the battlefield, it will be useless.
In the past six months, Mo Lihai has been planning a way to deal with Pudu Cihang. He has already had a rough idea, and when the time comes, his plan will be revealed!
······
Within three days, Su Ming mobilized the secret guards of the Xuanjing Division and left news about the Guigu lineage in various places. These messages usually only consisted of a small legend or story. They were so cloudy that even if they were traced, there was no way to trace them. Check it out.
Three days later, his clone is also preparing to survive the tribulation of the soul. Like the inner demon, Su Ming will not participate in this tribulation of the soul. As the most expensive product of Qiyun Mall, he believes that this clone will give him Enough surprises.
On Qianjue Peak, a solitary figure stands on the top of the mountain, where no birds can fly. He sits cross-legged and plays the harp. The melodious sound of the harp resounds between heaven and earth, just like a gurgling stream falling on the rocks, tinkling in the winter.
However, as soon as the sound of the piano changed, it became more and more rapid, and the stream suddenly turned into a raging river, running for thousands of miles, rolling up thousands of piles of snow, and gathering wind and clouds.
As the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, the figure on Qianjue Peak slowly stood up and looked up at the sky. An indescribable energy rose straight into the sky!
"Boom!"
The next moment, the thunder exploded, deafening. Thick dark clouds had gathered in the originally clear and cloudless sky. The sky was dim and dim for thousands of miles. The heavy energy made all living beings feel uneasy and frightened.
"boom!"
There was another thunder explosion, and the thunder and lightning danced wildly, lighting up the sky and the earth, as if the sky was about to be penetrated. Facing the continuously gathering thunder and lightning, Xiaoyaoyou stood up with his guqin on his back, his head held high, his eyes bursting with unprecedented divine light, as if We must go through the thick dark clouds and see the origin of the rules hidden in the avenue.
