Liang Xingyang completely cut off the connection between him and his believers. His heart was like a bright mirror, reflecting back the elixir, with purple air curling up, and spring water melting into the air.
He practiced in seclusion alone in the back cave of Xuan Qiong Immortal Mansion, completely letting go of all ties, cutting off all ties with the outside world, and only remaining in hiding.
He has been practicing for two years, and he has cultivated his realm from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan!
The original golden elixir was dim and weak, but now it is bright. When you close your eyes and look inside, the golden light makes your body crystal clear, and every hair is clearly visible. If you look at it from the outside, you will see evil spirits. A golden man whose whole body was shining with light did not dare to approach.
His realm improved, his heart was happy, he was relaxed and carefree, he opened his eyes, looked at the cave door, and pondered for a long time.
He knew that as long as he opened the door, there would immediately be thousands of threads and endless troubles coming like a tide, drowning him in it, but he was almost powerless to do anything about it.
But if this door is not opened, there will be his disciples outside, his younger brother, and the ruined world...
He finally stood up from the futon and walked out of the door.
When they heard that he had left seclusion, all his disciples came to see him. Liang Xingyang checked their skills and found that they were all improving.
He found that everyone else was there except for the eldest disciple Xia Cunxu, so he asked: "Where is your senior brother? Why isn't he here? Could it be that he is in retreat at a critical moment?"
The disciples looked at each other, and the last few of them knelt down, and actually started to plead for Xia Cunxu.
Liang Xingyang wondered: "What happened to him?"
Liang Kuiwu said: "Elder brother heard that the emperor in the capital was dead, so he ran away, saying that he had to go even if he was punished by the master..."
Liang Xingyang's heart skipped a beat: "Why is the emperor dead?"
It turned out that Yan Wodan finally led an army of millions of bones to capture the Hai'er Pass and penetrated the thousands-mile Tianqin Ancient Road to the hinterland of the Central Plains.
This time, the White Bone Army was no longer divided into several groups like before, each fighting on their own. They only wanted to grab money and food. This time, with the White Bone Saint Yan Wodan as their commander, the forces of each department gathered together to kill directly. Rushing to the capital, they want to destroy the Great Xia Dynasty and change the dynasty!
The Xia Dynasty was already seriously ill, and all the civil and military officials fled. Those loyal members of the Mirror Party in the past no longer knew where they were.
The emperor sent his Yulin Guards to guard the imperial city, waiting for the troops from all over the country to come to the capital. The commander-in-chief of the Yulin Guards went directly to surrender to Yan Wodan. He converted to the White Bone Cult before the battle, opened the city gate, and let the White Bone Army enter the city.
The emperor was so disheartened that he set a fire directly and committed suicide on Tianqi Tower.
Before the matter was over, when Yan Wodan occupied the capital and announced the demise of the Xia Dynasty and the establishment of a new dynasty, Wang Dingyu, the commander-in-chief of Wanquan Pass, was known as Mr. Wuliang and had eight thousand Taoist soldiers under his command. The last elite of the dynasty, when he heard that the Great Xia Dynasty was destroyed, he immediately converted and surrendered to the Lianshan Sect, opened Wanquan Pass, followed the Lianshan Sect back to the capital, fought a bloody battle with the White Bone Sect, and defeated the White Bone Sect. Ran.
Wang Dingyu has been fighting with the Lianshan Cult for many years. Many of his elders lost during the war and surrendered to the Lianshan Cult. They wrote several times to persuade him to surrender. This time he really surrendered, because he took the country's food and salary to send eight thousand Taoists to the Lianshan Cult. Bing developed his own personal soldiers and converted them all, so he was called Wang Baqian.
About the demise of the Xia Dynasty, An Luoyi first got the news and went to the mountain to deliver a message to Xia Cunxu. After Xia Cunxu heard about it, he could no longer practice Taoism with peace of mind, so he went down the mountain that day. Before leaving, he cried at the stone gate where Liang Xingyang retreated. I kowtowed to him three times.
The disciples were worried that Xia Cunxu would disobey orders and go down the mountain, and Liang Xingyang would be angry and punish him, so they all interceded with Xia Cunxu.
Liang Xingyang sighed: "He can go if he goes. He should go. He has reasons for going, both for the country and for his family. You don't need to make excuses for him. Not only does he go, I also have to go."
After hearing this, all the disciples breathed a sigh of relief and became excited again. They all geared up and said, "Let's go too!"
"You all stay at home and practice well. If you are useful, I will naturally find you!"
Liang Xingyang left his disciples at home, left Feixiao Peak alone, and headed east to Quyang first.
The city is looking for An Luoyi.
When An Luoyi saw him, the first thing he did was to kneel down and plead guilty: "The capital was captured, and the emperor is under attack. I... I think we should let senior brother know, master..."
Liang Xingyang asked him to get up and ask him about the situation here.
An Luoyi was a capable person. He sensed the changes in the north in advance, sent many people to find out the news, and spent more than a year accumulating supplies such as food, ironware, war horses, and timber.
Through a series of means, he killed the original governor of Liyuan, controlled the governor of Liyuan, and purged all the prefects and generals of Liyuan Jiuzhou. They either died accidentally or completely converted to the Golden Lantern Sect.
Unfortunately, the time was too short. Before he had time to settle Zhenyuan and Xunyuan in the east, the north was disrupted.
"You did a great job." Liang Xingyang praised without hesitation, "Even if I were here, I might not be able to do better than you. Over the past two years... I have worked hard for you."
An Luoyi was flattered and quickly said that he had not done enough.
He was still worried that Liang Xingyang would punish him for what happened to Xia Cunxu. After all, he stayed in Quyang City all year round and followed the path of the divine path which was different from the immortal path. As the saying goes, if different paths are different, there should be no conspiracy. He rarely saw his brothers. Even if we get together to study Taoism, we can't talk about going together. The relationship is not very close to begin with. This time I informed Xia Cunxu that if Xia Cunxu had a problem in the north, the master and his brothers would inevitably suspect him of having bad intentions. With ulterior motives...
However, he still firmly believed that he should tell Xia Cunxu that he was not wrong! Even if he is punished, if he does it again, he will still find a way to inform Xia Cunxu as quickly as possible, and he will never regret it!
Liang Xingyang is really not angry with him. This kind of thing should really be told to Xia Cunxu. Just like when he accepted Xia Cunxu as his disciple, he first helped Xia Cunxu find the bodies of his parents and relatives and buried them together. Such a major human matter , if everyone stops him and refuses to give in, wouldn’t he become a beast by cultivating immortality? Even if something unexpected happened to Xia Cunxu in the north this time, he would not blame An Luoyi.
He told An Luoyi: "The war in the north, no matter who wins in the end, will soon spread to the southeast. You can take the two states of Zhenxun if you can, but forget it if you can't. You have to find a way to manage Liyuan and Jiuzhou." , especially be prepared to face war."
An Luoyi nodded vigorously: "Master, don't worry, I have been preparing for this for the past two years!"
Liang Xingyang patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you!"
This year, Liang Xingyang turned eighteen.
In this life, he has experienced all kinds of ups and downs of the world since he was born. He had a wealthy and happy family since he was a child. His father was a high official in the court, elegant and knowledgeable. He often put him on his knees and taught him how to read and write.
When he was five years old, his father died, and his mother believed in the Golden Lantern cult, donated all her family property, and married Lao Yang. From then on, he never had a good life. He didn't have enough food and clothing, and he had to be beaten by Lao Yang.
After enduring it for two years, he ran out of the house, begging and wandering, collecting supplies, and finally refined the Pure Yang Fairy Sword, and came back to seek revenge from the Golden Lantern Sect.
Now, he is eighteen years old. The experience and growth of these eighteen years are much more complicated and exciting than the more than twenty years of life in his previous life. After two years of seclusion, his temperament has begun to become calmer. , a lot of innocence and childishness faded away.
He asked An Luoyi to continue making preparations for the war, while he used the Xuan Qiong Nine Heavens Escape Technique to rush to the north.
The reason why there is no sword control is because the sword light is easy for others to see. Although the re-refined Taiyi Yin Yang sword light is gray and dull, capable people can still see it at a glance. In the previous series, even people from the Xingluo Sect could see it. He saw it, so he used the Nine Heavens Escape Technique. The speed was slightly slower than Yujian, but the escape light could blend into the sky. It flew completely and silently, and no one could detect it.
At this time, the land of Jiangbei was even more shabby than two years ago.
Natural disasters come one after another, including severe drought in the northwest, typhoons in the southeast, locust plague in the north, and plague in the south.
And man-made disasters are more severe than natural disasters. Years of wars, evil spirits emerge, and people feel like they are living in hell!
Liang Xingyang flew to the capital in one breath. The place was completely occupied by the Lianshan Sect, and there were large flags and banners with animals painted everywhere.
The palace suffered a serious fire. First, the emperor burned it once, and then Yan Wodan and others set another fire when they left. Most of the buildings were burned down, but within a few months, they were almost cleared up.
On the base of the original palace, altars were built one after another. Fires were lit on the altars, and large flags several feet high were erected next to them. The worshipers wore red and green clothes, beat drums and rang bells, and sometimes breathed out fire and sometimes water to offer sacrifices to the gods.
This mountain sect seems to worship all fairies, um, fairies.
Throughout the capital, there are many demons and gods dormant, including wild boars, cranes, tigers, gray wolves, black bears, turtles, weasels, foxes, venomous snakes, and strange pythons... all the demons and gods have their origins. Spirits are lurking in every corner of the city.
Liang Xingyang went north this time, firstly to find Xia Cunxu, and secondly to find the prince. He wanted to know whether the prince was still alive.
Now let alone the palace, he couldn't even enter the entire capital. He originally wanted to go to his own mansion to have a look, but he didn't know that he was still thousands of meters away when he landed in the air. Already aware of it, he raised his head and looked over here.
Liang Xingyang could see that several of those demon gods were as powerful as the Capital City God back then, so it was not advisable to attack more with less, so he used the Heavenly Escape Technique to turn around and leave.
He guessed, if Xia Cunxu was still alive, where would he be now?
When Xia Cunxu came, the capital was in ruins and the emperor had been dead for several days. What would he do? Will he mindlessly kill Xiang Lianshan Cult for revenge? Most likely not. He should also look for the descendants of the royal family, especially the prince, to help him escape from danger, gather troops elsewhere, and then fight back desperately to fight to the death with the Lianshan Cult.
He rose higher and higher, overlooking the earth under the night. Following the mountains, rivers, and the trends of various city checkpoints, he quickly deduced a route, which should be in Tianmu City on the south bank of the Sinian River! Descendants of the Xia Dynasty royal family had to go south to escape. There were two roads going south from Zhongzhou. One was the middle road, which went directly across the Huangting River to Quzhou. The other was to take the east road. They would not go to Quzhou, but to Zhezhou. Tianmu City is the place you must pass through!
He rushed to Tianmu City again.
Sure enough, as he had guessed, a large number of people gathered here in Tianmu City, including those who fled and the defeated Xia soldiers, all gathered here, preparing to cross the river in a dense manner, and then continue to flee to the south of the Yangtze River.
The Sinian River is turbulent, and Tianmucheng is the only place suitable for crossing the river. There are at least 200,000 people gathered on the north bank, stretching for dozens of miles. The open space is almost full, but there are not enough pontoons on the river, and they are not wide enough. There are officers and soldiers checking identities to prevent people from the Lianshan Sect from sneaking in. If some rumors are spread, the crowd becomes encamped, and the situation gets out of control, Mucheng will be lost that day!
Liang Xingyang was going to go directly to the Tianmu Prefect and ask him if he had seen the prince. After all, he was still the head of the Tianxin Sect registered in the court. If he came to help at this time, the prefect would definitely rely on him.
Just as he was about to fall out of hiding, suddenly a group of men and horses appeared on the horizon behind him. There were at least 30,000 riders, all of them black water ponies with one horn. Each shoulder was more than ten feet tall. They were extremely powerful and had a mouth full of fangs. The specialty of Genyuan, together with the knights on horseback, put on iron armor and charged, they were unstoppable, especially their unicorn, which could weaken or even offset all kinds of magic attacks, because whenever there was thunder, they would stand on high posts and use their unicorn as a shield. Because of the thunder forged iron, no matter how powerful the Taoist method is, it will be consumed when it encounters their unicorn. The Lianshan Cult uses such horses to train iron cavalry, and it will be invincible!
These more than 100,000 iron hooves beat on the ground, making a rumbling sound. The dust raised covered the sky and formed a huge cloud, which quickly spread from north to south along with the cavalry team.
The more than 200,000 refugees were shocked when they realized that the Lianshan Cult people were catching up with them. They were so frightened that they ran away with all their strength, their cries shaking the sky.
The knights on the cavalry each hold a large flag in their hands. The flagpole itself is a large iron gun, weighing more than forty kilograms, and the length of the gun head is more than half a meter. There is a flag on the gun pole behind it. When riding a horse normally, you can lift it. The flag was raised, and the flag was unfolded, with animal talismans on it. At this time, he launched a charge, pointed the spear forward, and used the power of the horse to stab the fleeing person from behind. Prick it out from the lower abdomen, then raise the spear, and the flag flutters in the wind.
The man was carried on top of the flag,
The blood flowed down the iron rod to the flag, and the essence and blood of the living people seeped into the demon totems and talismans on the flag.
There is a demon god living on each flag. They drink fresh hot blood. Some of them kill many people and become a climate. They can also get into people's bodies to swallow souls and breathe in human breath. For a while, In between, the person is sucked into a mummy.
Some demons and gods are doing bad things and sucking slowly. The person is not dead for a while, and they encounter a new target ahead. The mountain knights throw the half-dead person to the ground, let it be trampled to pieces by thousands of horse hooves, and then poke another one. New people are picked up on the flag...
