Guan Luoyang stood at the steepest point among the peaks of Liangshan Mountain. He was at the top of the mountain. He could almost fall into the water if he took one step forward. The strong wind blew from the lake, making his clothes flutter and his hair on his temples. Slightly confused, but his eyes are not confused at all.
A high platform has been erected next to it.
The top of the mountain was originally rugged, but he took it upon himself to flatten the area beside him. He also dug out large rocks from the mountain and piled them into a table, three feet and six inches high, divided into eight corners and about three feet in diameter. Every detail is made according to the requirements of Gongsun Sheng and others.
At this moment, Gongsun Sheng was standing on the stage, taking off his Taoist robe, turning it over, and putting it on again. Originally, the outward side of the robe had a picture of pine and crane, which had the effect of resisting swords and could also be used by the misty clouds. , invisible and flying away, leaving no trace.
Now when turned over, the outward side of the Taoist robe becomes a Bagua pattern. The long sleeves and hem are painted with the image of rolling ink clouds, and there are five colored silk threads hidden in the ink clouds, symbolizing the five elements.
This is a piercing method specially used when performing rituals on the stage. It can help Gongsun Sheng harmonize the five elements in his body. The spiritual stage will be clear, which is more conducive to sensing the inside and outside and calling out the wind and clouds.
"The people from Liangshan have already hid in the reeds at the edge of the water. As long as they go one mile further, they will be exposed to the sight of those big ships. It's time for me to set off."
Guan Luoyang said, "After I left the mountain, you started doing this. This place is still a hundred miles away from their military camp. Are you absolutely sure?"
Gongsun Sheng looked cautious, nodded slowly, and said: "The advantage of the stage approach is that it can attack from a distance, with enough room, and slowly build up the power, which is actually better than when a poor man fights up close. Bigger.”
"That's good, let's get started."
Green air floated around Guan Luoyang, and he took a big step towards the steep mountain. His figure flew away in the sky, and in an instant he merged into the water, sky and night.
Gongsun Sheng pulled out the ancient pine-patterned sword, walked around on the high platform first, took off his hair crown, messed up his hair, adjusted his breathing, and his eyes were shining with light, locking on the hazy scenery on the shore in the distance. Military tent camp.
call! ! ! ! !
The wind gradually started to sound, blowing from the mountain to the water surface, and from the water surface to the shore, blowing open the curtain of the corner of the Chinese army's tent.
Yan Shude, Liu Qi, Liu Lin, Lin Chong and others were talking in the big tent. When the strong wind blew, the Taoist priest sitting next to Yan Shude frowned.
This person is none other than Guo Jing, with a face like a goose egg, elegant eyebrows, thick black hair, a short beard on his chin, a dignified appearance, a purple gold crown on his head, a luxurious silk and satin robe, soft and high-quality material, and a pair of feet. Pure green lotus root silk boots, a whisk placed on the right elbow, and a golden bell hanging on a red string on the left wrist.
Liu Qi saw him frowning and asked quickly: "Why is the Taoist Master looking suspicious? Is there something weird about this gust of wind?"
Guo Jing hummed and chuckled twice, touching the bell on his wrist without answering.
Yan Shude let out a heroic laugh and said: "The military camp is near a water bank. It is not surprising that the water is strong and the wind is strong. Even if there is something weird in the wind, how can it shake the tens of thousands of tigers and wolves in our army?"
"The wind is weird, it's not worth mentioning, but the sky changes, there will definitely be wind and thunder."
Guo Jing closed his eyes slightly and said in an astonishing voice, "When the thunder strikes, it will definitely hit the military flag first."
He raised his fingers, waited a moment, and then rang the bell.
At this time, outside the military camp, the sky was already filled with wind and clouds, and a zigzag and dazzling lightning struck down.
The ringing of the bell coincided with the sound of thunder, and a burst of exclamations from the soldiers came from outside the Chinese army's tent. Immediately, a small soldier knelt outside the tent and reported loudly. Sure enough, a bolt of lightning struck the big flag with the word "Yan".
"The thunder struck three times, but General Yan's flag was not damaged at all."
Guo Jing whispered in his mouth, seemed to be listening slightly, and rang the bell twice in succession.
The sound of thunder and the sound of bells matched each other perfectly. Everyone in the camp looked at Guo Jing, and there was an illusion in a trance that the wind, thunder and sky phenomena in the outside world were all under the control of this Taoist.
When he was in Bianliang in his early years, Lin Chong had also heard of Guo Jing. It was said that he was a heretic warlock in his early years and had learned some Buddhist magic. His reputation was already quite famous among the people in Bianliang, Tokyo.
Later, because he saw Chen Xizhen displaying Taoism, he envied Chen Xizhen's true teachings of immortality in Longhu Mountain, so he lowered himself in rank and tried every means to become a disciple of Chen Xizhen, and also took the name of a disciple of Longhu Mountain.
When Emperor Tianming was still the prince, he made friends with Chen Xizhen. After he ascended the throne, he relied on Chen Xizhen even more. Logically speaking, Guo Jing should be able to take advantage of this relationship to find a Taoist official status. But for some reason, there has never been this Guo Jing in the Bianliang court. Instead, he hid in Quancheng and only helped Chen Xizhen protect Liu Guang's family.
When Lin Chong heard about it at first, he thought that Guo Jing was a person who was not interested in fame. But now when he saw his deliberate and showy demeanor, he knew that this man's character was completely different from what Lin Chong had thought in the past.
The soldiers outside came to report again. Yan Shude's big flag had been struck three times by thunder, but it was still firmly rooted there. The flag was not scorched at all and was fluttering in the wind.
Guo Jing stood up with a smile and congratulated Yan Shude: "General, we are here to share the emperor's worries. God also felt it, so he sent down thunder and lightning to make his voice more powerful. The stronger the wind and thunder, the more powerful the army will be. There will definitely be more auspicious signs later. .”
As he spoke, two rays of vitality came out from the soles of the Taoist's feet, traveling underground and hitting the two big flags outside.
The "Yan" flag standing high in the military camp suddenly glowed, evaporating a large amount of golden clouds and making the faces of the surrounding soldiers shine golden.
The other flag of the Heavenly King, representing Guo Jing, is even more remarkable. A huge statue of the Heavenly King looms above the flagpole.
Although only the upper body is clear, the height is more than ten feet. Regardless of the navy or the infantry, all people inside and outside the military camp can see the image of the king holding magic weapons in each of its four arms, with a precious crown on the head, and a face with a loving smile. , a face on the back, with a majestic and angry look.
Yan Shude led everyone out of the tent to watch, and the laughter spread throughout the camp.
"Okay! The heavens above also know that this general has come to attack the water thieves and grass bandits, bringing blessings to the whole party and sending such an auspicious omen."
"God's blessings are shared by the three armies. After the victory, everyone of us will be favored by God!!"
The morale of the army soared, and the depression of days of running on land and water was swept away. Everyone raised their swords and guns and shouted in unison.
There were tens of thousands of soldiers, all of whom had practiced the magic method. The cheers were so loud.
In the surrounding forests and reed swamps, birds that had not been disturbed by the thunder before were all frightened and flew up. As soon as they reached the air, they fell one after another. However, they were scared to death by the sound, and their bodies fell on the water one after another. ,Forest.
The black clouds in the sky were lifted up a lot by the overwhelming momentum from the army, and they were far away from the ground. The sound of the wind suddenly decreased. There were thunders in the sky, and electric snakes were scurrying endlessly in the dark clouds, but no lightning could strike them. Come inside the military camp.
Yan Shude and Guo Jing tacitly understood each other and smiled at each other.
Before they came, they knew that there might be Lin Lingsu and other demons causing trouble in Liangshanbo. Lin Lingsu's divine thunder method was majestic and terrifying. If they were not careful, if he really set up an altar and used it to his fullest, it would be very difficult. It may cause a big blow to morale and lead to the loss of troops and generals.
But now that Guo Jing is acting like this, the soldiers originally mobilized from all over the country feel the same atmosphere. The morale of the three armies has been established, the magic skills are running smoothly, and the turbid air is connected. No matter what magic is blasted in, they have not touched it yet. When it comes to people, a lot of power will be offset first.
If Lin Lingsu was really wise, he should have abandoned Liangshan and fled long ago.
Yan Shude felt happy and thought to himself: No matter how powerful those demons are, they have no soldiers and horses to rely on, are they worthy of going against the imperial army?
He led everyone back to the camp and continued to discuss the method of fighting, which was to let his generals each lead a troop of troops, with Lin Chong and others assisting them, to encircle them from all sides and capture all the people in Liangshan.
This plan can be said to be very casual and can be finalized in just a few words. Following the example of the surge in morale of the three armies just now, he is now more dignified in everything he says, leaving no room for others to interrupt.
Some soldiers came to report on the way, saying that the wind and waves at the waterside were getting worse. It was getting dark, the reeds were undulating, and they were being swept up by the waves. The shadows seemed to be pushing to the edge of the camp.
Yan Shude didn't take it seriously and dismissed it casually.
It seems that those demons are not giving up yet, but the wind and thunder energy can no longer enter the military camp. Only a small wave can at most add some water vapor outside the camp. What else is there to care about?
On the top of Liangshan Mountain, Gongsun Sheng was dancing, his ancient pine-patterned sword flipping back and forth in the wind, and he kept chanting catchy mantras, with his own rhythm in his voice, like a ballad.
The lightning in the distance could not be struck, but the strong wind on the water was getting stronger and stronger.
There are many reeds in the reed marsh, rolled by the wind and waves, like a messy and thick high wall, getting closer and closer to the shore.
The people in the military camp didn't look carefully, and they couldn't find the rafts and boats hidden in the reeds in the chaos of the wind and waves.
Wu Song held two swords in his hands and stood on a raft, with his back slightly hunched and his body lowered, staring in the direction of the military camp.
At this distance, he could already reach the camp with one pounce.
However, for the eight thousand Liangshan soldiers hidden around, this distance is not close enough and convenient enough, so they have to wait a little longer.
Wu Song was a little anxious as he waited, and scratched his neck with the back of the knife. Suddenly his wrist trembled, and a half-moon-shaped jet-black knife light appeared beside him, slashing away horizontally.
The blade stopped in front of Guan Luoyang.
"Ah, it turned out to be you, you almost made me think I was discovered."
Wu Song retracted his sword, came over with a tiger-eyed face, and whispered, "You are a Taoist priest who is also a good man. You are not willing to sit in the mountains and come to the front."
Guan Luoyang smiled and said: "A Taoist robe is just a piece of clothing, so there's not much difference? If Gongsun Sheng didn't want to open an altar to practice, he would probably come to the front."
Wu Song clicked his tongue and shook his head: "When we were fighting against the Xia people, many Taoist officers in the army were only willing to use tricks to disturb the enemy. They made some fog and sand, which were not used by birds, but they always had to get a small share of the credit afterwards. You are a good Taoist, you have fine wine, and you know how to do it. Kill someone, let me teach you something.”
Not far behind, Lin Lingsu was sitting cross-legged alone, floating on the water. Her Taoist robe was separated from the water and did not touch any moisture. When she heard the word Taoist official, her face moved.
On the raft, Wu Song pointed to the two big flags in the military camp that were displaying auspicious signs, and taught: "The Heavenly King flag is probably with the military Taoist officials. It is farther away from the Chinese army tent. The Yanzi flag over there is It belongs to the commander-in-chief of the army, and the commander-in-chief's tent must be not far behind the Yan Zi Banner."
"We will go straight to the big tent later, burn the big tent, and cut down the flags. Even if the general does not die, there will still be some small turmoil."
Wu Song raised his two swords, "When there is chaos, people will come to kill people, and horses will come to kill horses. Don't worry about whether they die or not. Just chop them down and let them scream, which will further disrupt the morale of the army."
"I understand." Guan Luoyang listened humbly, nodded, and looked up again. He was less than twenty feet away from the camp. However, there was an antler wooden fence on the edge of the camp, so even the cavalry could stop him.
If people from Liangshan want to rush in from the water, they will definitely waste more time.
Guan Luoyang squinted his eyes and used the method of transmitting sound into secrets. His gentle and powerful voice reached the ears of more than a thousand people at the forefront of Liangshan troops.
"Squat down, grab the edge of the raft and boat, and I'll fly you into the camp."
fly?
fly! !
Guan Luoyang stretched out his right hand, turned his palm upwards, raised one arm, and the mighty green energy spread along the water surface.
The reeds wherever the green air passed grew taller out of thin air, and there were numerous shadows, as if they were about to break away from the water and float into the air.
The more than a thousand people at the forefront felt their whole bodies light up, and the boat beneath them floated up a few feet at the same time as their bodies, completely out of the water.
The wind and waves were turbulent and pounded against the bottom of the boat. Guan Luoyang spread his arms and shouted softly: "Go!"
Before the soldiers outside the military camp had time to react to the sudden change in the scene on the water, they saw thousands of reeds flying from the water towards the camp like a storm.
The young general patrolling the camp had a keen eye. From the reeds that disturbed his vision, he saw the small boats and rafts flying across the sky. His expression changed drastically on the spot, and he raised his gun to block them.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang…
Those small boats and rafts crashed into the military camp and hit the ground. They slid and collided for a certain distance before stopping. Some of them crashed directly into the military tent, causing the entire tent to fall down.
With ten thousand kilograms of strength in his body, the patrolling young man shot the entire raft apart with one shot. However, several fiery red figures jumped out from behind the raft, and while they were still in mid-air, they fired their weapons one after another.
Those inferior spears made of wood were drawn on the patrol generals and exploded into wood chips flying everywhere. However, this scene also showed the fierce power of the red-coated soldiers.
"Who are you?!"
The patrol general cried out in pain. His armor was intact, but several ribs were broken. He staggered out for two steps when he was knocked to the ground by several figures in red and stepped on by more than a dozen big feet. , trampled him until he was trapped in the ground, and the spear was also taken away.
A similar scene appeared on every small boat that landed in the camp. There were as few as five or six, as many as a dozen red-clothed soldiers, scattered out of the boat.
They had always maintained a crouching posture, but they exploded with maximum strength, jumping and charging, catching the soldiers in the barracks by surprise. In an instant, thousands of them were knocked down and their weapons were taken away.
On the water outside the camp, more people rushed over.
These red-clothed soldiers have no armor on their bodies. They seem to have only one layer of clothing, but the defensive power of this clothing is no less than that of leather armor. Their fighting skills are actually very basic, but they are as powerful as a crazy tiger. In the blink of an eye, they It has already disrupted half of the camp.
The soldiers who had been cheering for the auspicious omen not long ago launched a counterattack after a brief period of shock and confusion. However, their general did not expect such a scene to occur and did not assign generals to take command.
Soldiers from all over the country instinctively found their acquaintances to fight together. The entire camp was like a boiling oil pot, and the noise resounded across the waterfront.
Yan Shude and others rushed out of the tent. Seeing this scene, they shouted in disbelief: "Where did these soldiers and horses come from?!"
The first reaction of these generals was that someone in the army had launched a rebellion. They knew the inside story. It was impossible for Liangshan to have such an army. It could only be a rebellion. But which state did those red infantrymen come from? ?
Which state's governor or magistrate wants to rebel?
Guo Jing suddenly turned his head, floated into the air, and looked at his own flag embroidered with the image of the King of Heaven.
Under the big flag, a man holding a crescent shovel laughed loudly and hit it with three shovels in a row. The flagpole, which was as thick as a human waist, began to tremble and sway.
The statue of the King of Heaven appeared in the sky on the top of the flagpole. It was angry. It turned its head, turned its angry face to the front, and smashed down its four arms.
The reckless man didn't care at all, and swung the shovel horizontally again, breaking the flagpole. He inserted the shovel, jumped up, picked up the flagpole, and swung it on the statue of the King of Heaven.
Guo Jing has been practicing this flag for many years, and it is the foundation of his leftist method. It absorbs military power and can grow stronger, which in turn can increase the number of soldiers. However, he never expected that it would be broken by someone in this way.
The Heavenly King's flag hit the Heavenly King's statue, and just when it was restrained, the entire majestic Heavenly King's statue suddenly burst into many cracks, and with a cry, it was absorbed into the flag.
The false king of Buddhism in the sky is like dry sand in the wind, falling over when pushed, but Ruda on the ground seems to be the real king!
After he fell back to the ground, he didn't even pick up the crescent shovel. He swept forward with this big flag in his arms. Wherever he passed, countless people and horses flew upside down. Seven or eight tents were shriveled and collapsed by his sweeping of the flagpole.
Guo Jing looked at his flag, heartbroken, and frightened by Luda's power. He gritted his teeth, channeled his life's mana, and raised the bell in his hand.
After tearing off the red rope, the small golden bell was thrown into the sky, where it would grow in the wind and turn into a big golden bell. On the wall of the bell, there were many three-legged divine birds, the Lord of Fire Virtue and the Sun God General painted and engraved. The pattern, auspicious clouds and auspicious sea, is like a fairy palace.
This is the pure Yang treasure of Longhu Mountain, the Nine Yang Divine Bell!
Guo Jing borrowed it from Chen Xizhen and usually only shows it as a bell. Today, for the first time, he transformed into the original form of a big bell.
As soon as the bell rang, it echoed within a radius of nine miles. The Liangshan soldiers who broke into the camp felt inexplicably hot all over their bodies, their eyes were red and their ears were red, and the veins on their foreheads were pulsing. They felt dizzy and couldn't help but slow down their movements.
Ruda was targeted by the bell, and his whole body was as hot as a soldering iron. His seven orifices spurted fire, and his hair was the first to burn, and he couldn't help but roar.
Yan Shude was about to take the opportunity to send an order to gather his troops and horses, when suddenly a blue beam of light hit the top of the Nine Sun Divine Bell from mid-air.
The Nine-Yang Divine Bell could not withstand this huge force and fell down, covering Guo Jing inside and falling to the ground.
As soon as the big bell fell, the surrounding ground trembled like waves, fresh soil was dug up, the camps were knocked down one after another, and many soldiers and horses around were buried by the waves of soil.
The blue light dimmed slightly, Guan Luoyang stood on the clock, his robe had just fallen down, and was lifted up by the shock. There were ripples everywhere on the cloth, overlooking the chaos in the camp.
The Nine Sun Divine Bell vibrated one after another, as if it was mute, and the sound could not be heard at all.
Yan Shude saw the key, waved his sword, and gave orders to Lin Chong and others.
"Generals, listen to the order and kill this demon first!"
"Anyone who dares not to do his best is disobeying the imperial court and is treasonous, and will surely destroy the three tribes!"
Lin Chong and others did not know what kind of soldiers and horses were on the other side. In desperation, they had no choice but to pick up their guns and knives first, and follow Yan Shude to kill the Nine Yang Divine Bell.
