Looking at the moire pattern on this flat face, it seems that it has nothing to do with the way of spiritual practice, right?
If you have to force an explanation, maybe you can say that the two eyes represent two points, and the bridge of the nose in the middle is a straight line. As for the two arc-shaped ripples above and below, are they used to compare lengths?
The straight line between two points is the shortest!
Yes, this is the way to practice.
What's the use? Wu Sheng was completely confused. Can he use these two "principles of the world" to create a sea of qi? No matter how I think about it, it feels unreliable. He was even a little scared - this is cultivating immortality, brother, don't be ruined by your past worldview!
In any case, you cannot ask others for help with this kind of thing. What everyone visualizes is their own thing and cannot be imitated. He also wanted to visualize some mysterious things like Taoist Mu and Jin Wuhuan, such as Tai Chi, Liang Yi, Sancai, Four Symbols, Five Elements, Liuhe, Seven Stars, Bagua, Jiugong and other great avenues, as well as voidness and divine consciousness. , golden elixir and other mysterious and mysterious concepts, but the reality is like this, he can only do nothing.
Bite the bullet and go down, Wu Sheng continued to attack the third cloud pattern, just hoping that there would be a change this time.
Just as he was practicing hard, Jin Wuhuan came again, looking excited and worried at the same time.
"The army is out!" Jin Wuhuan told Wu Sheng.
"Who is the army? Who are they fighting?" Wu Sheng's mind has been filled with cloud patterns recently, and his reaction was relatively slow, so he didn't understand it for a moment.
"Our Hufang army has attacked, defeated three thousand Chu troops, and has recovered Zhu Town!" Jin Wuhuan waved his fist.
Wu Sheng finally cleared the damn cloud pattern from his mind and couldn't believe it: "Hu Fang's army? How many?"
"Fifteen chariots are full," Jin Wuhuan replied with some pride.
In the Chu army, one chariot is equipped with three monks and fifty soldiers. Hu Fang cannot reach this level. He cannot refine so many chariots and there are not that many monks who can drive the chariots. Therefore, one chariot is usually equipped with two monks. , seventy-five soldiers, and the "full ride" that Jin Wuhuan specifically emphasized meant that the chariot was filled with three monks.
Fifteen chariots, that is, forty-five monks and more than a thousand soldiers. The chariots are all refined magical chariots. Not all monks are qualified to ride on the chariots. If you can make up this number, it is almost like Thunder God. The power of the mountain came out in full force.
Zhu Town was a place that Wu Sheng had passed by when he came with Jin Wuhuan. It was about twenty miles away. Although it was a well-known town, it was actually a larger village with about a hundred households, surrounded by a stone wall about ten feet high.
Wu Sheng didn't know whether the number of three thousand defeated enemies was accurate, but occupying such a town was of little value. If there was any significance, it might be to boost morale.
According to Jin Wuhuan's description, this battle was planned by Dr. Sikou Yu. Sima Liangji personally led the troops and caught the Chu army by surprise. Although the three thousand Chu army resisted stubbornly, the tigers were united and the soldiers fought to the death for two days. The city wall was breached in a short time, and the Chu army had to flee west through the city.
After listening, Wu Sheng initially concluded that there was a lot of water here. In such a small town, how could three thousand Chu troops be stationed?
This point was immediately clear when he thought about it, but Jin Wuhuan didn't consider it. He could only say that he was either completely ignorant of military affairs or had too little experience. Otherwise, there was only one explanation. He really wanted to hear such good news. I would rather believe it is true than be willing or afraid to verify the truth.
There was no need for Wu Sheng to undermine people's confidence. He just asked: "Is it okay to take the initiative before regaining strength?"
Jin Wuhuan said: "Didn't this catch the Chu army off guard? Of course, the main thing is money and food. With the money and food from Zhu Town, many problems will be solved."
Wu Sheng touched his forehead with his hand. At this moment, he felt that Jin Wuhuan was a military novice. Not only Jin Wuhuan, but also the entire Hu Fang monarchs and ministers in Leigong Mountain were all novices.
He went to attack the market town outside the mountain before he had even accumulated much strength. Is this because he didn't die quickly enough?
Wu Sheng suddenly felt a sense of urgency. It was not suitable to stay here for a long time. He quickly learned Qingmiao Xuan Gong and suggested that Mu Taoist bring his disciples to transfer there.
"How are you preparing the spiritual materials that Brother Jin mentioned last time?"
"Third Senior Brother has scheduled it for these two days. He will be back soon."
"Is there a secret passage in Leigong Mountain?"
"Secret passage?"
"Secret ways to escape, such as dead-end paths, underground tunnels, etc..."
Jin Wuhuan was dissatisfied: "Brother Wu, what do you mean, we will be defeated? The situation is perfect now, how can we escape? I know that Brother Wu is worried about the Chu army attacking the mountain, but I heard that there is a complete plan to go there. Set up an ambush at a strategic location from Zhuzhen to Xishankou, and when the enemy arrives, they can be wiped out with a single blow!"
"Did you hear that? Who said it?"
"This is the fisherman's clever plan. All the ministers and generals are ready, and the monks are gearing up, waiting for the Chu army to attack."
Wu Sheng was speechless. With this level of confidentiality, he still set up an ambush? Hu Fang really thinks too much. But it's no wonder that it took a year for the Chu army to attack the Hu Fang. The Hu Fang's capable soldiers were all killed, those who surrendered, and those who knew the soldiers were basically wiped out. The rest of the group definitely couldn't count on it.
"I mean just in case..."
"Nothing unexpected!" Jin Wuhuan was determined.
"What I mean is that when the Chu army comes, there will be a secret path out of the mountain, and more than ten experts will gather to catch them by surprise..."
Jin Wuhuan was overjoyed: "What a good plan! I'll go and do it right now..."
Wu Sheng quickly stopped: "Don't! It won't happen if it's not kept secret. Just let the master, you and I know."
Jin Wufan thought for a while and nodded: "That's true. Brother Wu said that, but I remembered a trail that goes in from the cave under the East Peak and reaches the main peak... but it can't get out of Leigong Mountain..."
Wu Sheng became interested: "Let's go and have a look!"
Under a cliff on the east mountain peak, there is a cave entrance that only allows one person to enter. The outside of the cave entrance has long been covered by dense shrubs. It would be difficult to find someone other than a local snake like Jin Wuhuan. A path was cut from the side, and the two of them got in one after the other. A flame burst out from Jin Wuhuan's fingertips, burning the cobwebs, and then they filed in.
Watching Jin Wuhuan use flames to clear the way, Wu Sheng was envious for a while. This is cultivation. Once you have entered the threshold, you don't have to play with flints to make fire and cook in the future.
The inside of the cave is larger, going up and down, sometimes climbing and sometimes sliding down. After about half an hour, I heard the sound of a waterfall in front of me, and the exit here turned out to be a water curtain cave.
The waterfall is actually not that big, about ten feet high and several feet wide, but it just blocks the narrow exit. Below the exit is a green pool, which is an excellent hiding place.
Unfortunately, this place is located under the main peak and is not outside the scope of Leigong Mountain. But there is such a secret path that can save lives in critical moments.
"Who knows this secret passage?"
"There are only a few of my disciples, and no one knows about the rest."
"Don't tell anyone, this is top secret!"
"Brother Wu, don't worry, I understand. But this secret passage is in the mountains, how can we surprise the Chu army?"
"It's just a backup, just in case. Are there any other secret passages that can lead directly to the outside of the mountain?"
"This kind of tunnel no longer exists, but there are still two paths. Can I take Brother Wu to have a look?"
"Walk!"
