Liang Xingyang suddenly became a popular person.
Among the major immortal sects in the past, the Dongyang Sect lived in seclusion in the north. It is said that they have closed the mountains and retreated, and no disciples are allowed to go out.
The Ju Faction of the Baiyang Sect surrendered to the Lianshan Sect and are helping to pursue the remnants of the White Bone Sect in the northwest.
The Shenlu Sect was almost wiped out, leaving Yu Huazi, a loose immortal of the Golden Core stage, with twelve juniors, who were no longer worthy of their status.
The Five Elements Sect split, Kinmen and Shuimen defected to the Lianshan Sect, and Tumen was almost wiped out. Now only Huomen and Mumen are left. Mumen originally had contacts with Chen Potian, the governor of Zhenyuan, and Huomen is in the Jiangnan area. , this time completely on King Xian’s side.
Originally, they did not pay too much attention to Liang Xingyang. After all, the development time of Tianxin Sect was too short. Liang Xingyang was only in the middle stage of Jindan. The two sect leaders were still in the early stage of Jindan, and their number was small.
But this time, the strength he showed even surpassed that of the Earth Immortal in the Nascent Soul Stage!
Not only did he go deep into the enemy camp among thousands of troops and kill the commander of the Black Flag Army, he also fought with the black bear demon alone with his sword. Anyone who has fought with the black bear demon knows that even the Five Gods of the Mountain can fight many earthly immortals. But!
Therefore, both parties want to win over Liang Xingyang and ask him to support them.
The reason why Liang Xingyang chose to go to the meeting was mainly because he thought that if civil strife breaks out between the two forces in Jiangnan, one family alone will definitely be destroyed by the Lianshan Cult. The two families must work together, and both families must work together. Knowing this, but for their own selfish interests, they just couldn't cooperate sincerely. Liang Xingyang went to the banquet this time as a last resort to see if the two sides had the basis for unity.
However, the result can be imagined. After he went there, everyone from King Xian down to him was very enthusiastic about him, just like the stars holding the moon. However, once he mentioned the cooperation between the two parties, these people all laughed and blurred. .
In the end, Mei Qinghui, the owner of Jiangnan Luomei Villa, came to terms with him. There must be three prerequisites for the two parties to merge:
First, the other party must recognize King Xian as the emperor.
Second, the other side's imperial officials, such as ministers and ministers, must be abolished. We must reorganize the cabinet of the new dynasty and redefine the official positions.
Third, since the other side wants to use Jiangnan's money and food to support them, they must hand over their military power. All the general soldiers will retire in name, and the remaining soldiers will be dispersed and returned to Jiangnan and handed over to Chen Potian's command!
After hearing these three premises, Liang Xingyang knew that it was impossible for them to integrate peacefully, so he said goodbye and left in advance.
After returning, Yu Huazi and Xia Cunxu were still with King Zhong and they did not come back, so he meditated on the bed and practiced until night, when they came back and told Liang Xingyang what King Zhong meant.
King Zhong still wants to be emperor and hopes Liang Xingyang can support him.
After removing those modifiers, the core idea is this.
Liang Xingyang nodded and remained silent, while Xia Cunxu didn't speak either.
After a while, Yu Huazi asked: "Master Liang, what should we... do next? Are we going to help King Zhong ascend the throne?"
Liang Xingyang asked, "Do you have any ideas, fellow Taoist?"
Yu Huazi said: "Now that gangsters are eyeing the north of the Yangtze River, we can't have civil strife. Otherwise, if we can't do it with literature, we can do it with force..."
"Fire doesn't work." Liang Xingyang shook his head, "Once we commit suicide and destroy ourselves, and even the bandits enjoy the benefits, we can easily cross the river and gain this land in the south of the Yangtze River. To be honest, I have been paying attention to these people in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. Yes, it’s just that my focus is on cultivation, and what I know about them is limited to general outlines and details... I have to find someone who understands to ask."
Yu Huazi was very surprised: "Who does Mr. Liang want to know?"
Liang Xingyang smiled: "Don't worry about this. I'll handle it myself. I don't have a specific plan yet, so I don't know if it can be done."
He asked Yu Huazi and Xia Cunxu to wait patiently here. He left his residence, took off with his sword, left Xianzhou City, and headed west.
The understanding person Liang Xingyang wanted to find was An Luoyi. An Luoyi had been running the Golden Lantern Sect and was very familiar with many things in the Jiangnan area. Although he was mainly in Liyuan, he also knew about Zhenyuan, Xunyuan and other places. Quite a few.
Flying to Quzhou, I found that this place is also very chilly. There are lights everywhere, and the closer you go to Quzhou, the denser they become. Countless lights go from Quzhou City to the north, along the Qushui River, and then to the Huangting River. They are densely packed, like a meridian. .
Just in the light, you can see military camps along the Qushui River to the riverside, with soldiers patrolling inside, a scene of solemn killing.
He first went to Quzhou Jindeng Academy, and after asking around, he found out that An Luoyi was not here, but had gone to the riverside.
It turned out that the five flags of the Lianshan Sect came out together, and the White Flag Army and the Yellow Flag Army went west to pursue and annihilate the White Bone Sect. The remaining three flags divided into two routes and went south. The Black Flag Army and the Green Flag Army took the east route to pursue the remaining main force of the Ming Army. They were all senior officials from the capital and general soldiers from various places, and they fled across the Huangting River to Xianzhou.
On the other hand, the Red Banner Army took the middle route and headed south from Mingzhou in the Zhongyuan Dynasty. It planned to seize the upper reaches of the Huangting River and seize the cities on both sides of the river. Then it would go down the river and join the East Route Army. Together they would besiege the important town in the southeast and destroy Xia in one fell swoop!
But they didn't expect that they would encounter strong resistance here in Quzhou.
An Luoyi had long seen that something was wrong and had been preparing for war. At that time, Liang Xingyang told him that there would be chaos in the north and asked him to keep the collected money and grain for his own development instead of sending it to the emperor to fill holes. Working hard.
An Luoyi used two years to kill the original governor of Liyuan, control the governor of Liyuan, and clarified all the prefects and generals of the Jiuzhou of Liyuan, making them all completely convert to the Golden Lantern Sect, and then passed They began to train the army.
At the same time, he worked hard to make weapons day and night. In addition to the swords, guns and armor used by soldiers, he also made a large number of god-killing crossbows, sky-breaking arrows, etc., built large combat ships, and built 81 beacons along the river. On the platform, an altar is built on the platform, and a five-treasure golden lantern is enshrined on the altar.
Once there is an enemy threat, the flames of the golden lights will skyrocket and shoot straight up into the sky, reaching a height of thousands of feet. If it is at night, a straight line of light can be seen clearly from a long distance. If it is during the day, it is not afraid. Between each lamp They can all sense each other, crackle with lights, and transmit the message to Quzhou City within ten seconds, and everyone along the route can prepare.
At first, the people of the Red Banner Army did not take these people seriously. So many capable regular troops in the Great Xia Dynasty were defeated by me. How much capability can you, a local force, have? The direction of my flag and gun will be overwhelming...
When they really started fighting, they found that this army was extremely powerful!
An Luoyi actually didn't have many troops at his disposal. All the troops in Liyuan Jiuzhou combined were only over 50,000.
However, he has many believers under him. When the leader gave an order, millions of believers immediately responded. Even the people in the south by the sea came to Quzhou to defend their country and protect their religion, carrying their belongings on their backs!
The believers are really not afraid of death. Even a scholar with no strength can still brave local arrows and artillery fire to go to the riverside to pull strings and carry supplies on his shoulders. Even if it lasts for two days, he will not be able to survive. Without any complaints, they sang the leader's hymn, encouraged and supported each other, and continuously transported food, weapons, and various war resources to the riverside like ants moving.
And An Luoyi did not live up to their support. When the 30,000 Red Banner Army raised their flag guns and released monsters all over the sky, especially one of the five main gods of Lianshan, a hundred-foot-long sable with a body full of fire, rushed straight from the river. Come here, An Luoyi also bravely uses the Yuan Shen Dharmakaya!
An Luoyi's Dharma body has three heads and six arms, and is covered with golden light. There is a vertical eye on each of the three heads, which can shoot out streams of golden light. Wherever it hits, it will explode and then catch fire. He holds six in his hand. The golden sword burning with flames started fighting with the sable on the Huangting River!
An Luoyi's Taoism is not high, and he is still in the elixir-forming stage, but he has gathered more than five million willpower!
The sable had two wings on its back and was covered in fire armor. It held a spear in each hand, wrapped in a ball of flames, and its mouth was full of long fangs.
The two sides are fighting with swords and guns, without any fancy, what is fighting is the willpower of both sides, and what is fighting is the accumulation of the past!
Word spread quickly among the Golden Lantern Sect that the leader was fighting a very powerful monster. All the believers immediately sat down. Those who had an altar nearby rushed to the altar, and those who didn't have an altar took out their lamps from their pockets. Lit with hands held
He sat cross-legged on the ground, recited the Golden Lamp God's Mantra, prayed for the leader, and also blessed the leader!
This phenomenon quickly spread from the riverside to the south, reaching all parts of Quzhou, where countless believers sat down and chanted mantras loudly.
Relying on the blessings of these loyal believers, An Luoyi became more and more courageous as he fought. Since entering the Central Plains, the sable has eaten countless people. It has also evolved, its strength has skyrocketed, and it has swept the world. It has never encountered an opponent. Today, it met An Luo. Yi was very angry and used all his strength to suck the milk. He stabbed at random with his spears and kept opening his mouth to bite.
A god and a demon are fighting to the death above, and the battle below is also continuing. God-killing crossbows, sky-shattering arrows, thousand-machine crossbows, mountain-blasting cannons... The Quzhou side is well prepared and well-trained, and the Lianshan Sect directly Being blinded, the temporarily recruited ships were sunk one after another.
The battle lasted from morning to noon. The commander of the Red Flag Army was very angry and asked his deputy to send out a python demon from among the main gods of the "Seven Little", as well as the master of the Water Gate Sect from the Five Elements Sect: "I don't need your protection. ! Go, kill all the generals leading the troops on the opposite side! We must attack across the river today and capture Quzhou City, and we will not seal the sword for ten days! Kill them!"
The python demon and Shuimen disciples flew over. A large number of Golden Lantern Masters from the Golden Lantern Sect cast spells to resist, and also mobilized a group of God-killing crossbows to take aim and shoot.
At this moment, dozens of sword lights flew from the west, and Xuan E and Gelsemium, together with the disciples of the Tianxin Sect, came to the rescue.
Although An Luoyi is a member of the Tianxin sect, he basically never returns to the mountains. He only runs the Golden Lantern Sect in Quzhou City. Others practice the Immortal Way, while he practices the Shinto Way. Liang Xingyang does not allow them to communicate with each other to avoid getting mixed up, so he is not sentimental. No kiss, many of them are strangers who have never spoken to each other.
However, the Tianxin Sect has property in the Bianshan area. I heard that the Lianshan Sect's army was coming, so they hurriedly sent a message back. Liang Xingyang was not here, and Xuan'e and Gelsemium couldn't make up their minds. They didn't know what Liang Xingyang planned. There is another decision to close the mountain.
Gelsemium was more thoughtful: "This matter has to be decided by my junior uncle. After all, he is the elder and the master's biological brother."
Liang Lingbao, this junior uncle, has a withdrawn temperament. He usually doesn't communicate with anyone and just practices silently by himself. He is still young and looks silly and not very smart. Everyone just keeps a distance from him.
This time Xuan'e and Gelsemium came to him and told him the situation. Liang Lingbao looked at the two for a few seconds and said three words: "Go to Quzhou!"
Seeing him making a decision so happily, Gelsemium and Xuan'e were stunned: "Master said before that we would close the mountain and not get involved in the right and wrong of the world. Let us close the mountain gate and focus on cultivating Taoism. Let's go like this..."
Liang Lingbao rolled his eyes at him, turned around and started to collect the magic weapons: "Brother is indecisive and kind-hearted. He refuses to abandon strangers. How can he not care about his apprentice?"
He had followed Liang Xingyang back then and personally experienced the process of taking thirty-six children over the mountains and ridges, responsible for eating, drinking, and eating, across the entire Yuxiao Mountains, and until they were given to various cottages. He knew that if Liang Xingyang were here, he would never He sat back and watched An Luoyi die in Quzhou.
With him as an elder as a guarantee, Gelsemium and Xuan'e naturally have no worries. This time, there are thirty people from Yaowang Sect and thirty people from Tianjian Sect. Here at the main peak, Liang Lingbao leads the team, including Liang Kuiwen, Liang Kuiwu, and Zhou Hong. Shuo, all added up, a total of sixty-four people, prepared all the flying swords and magic weapons, then closed the cave door and rushed to the riverside to help in the battle.
It was also a coincidence that they came when they encountered the python demon and the head of Shuimen leading thousands of demons and disciples to attack them, wrapped in black mist and white clouds, avoiding the arrows of Li Yuan's army. The python monster was huge in size, and it breathed out monster energy. When it spit out, it was like a mushroom cloud exploded by a nuclear bomb. It was full of acid rain. Ordinary weapons and armors were corroded when they encountered it, and swords and the like melted quickly.
The leader of the Xiushui Sect cast a spell to stir up a huge wave, and released a large amount of sleet, hail, ice picks, and ice lumps... encouraged by the cold wave, they hit the south bank.
The Golden Lamp Master on the south bank barely erected a golden light barrier, but was shaken by the powerful impact. One after another, the Golden Lamp Master vomited blood.
Seeing such a scene, Xuan E let out a long roar like a dragon's roar. He held the sword in both hands and pointed it towards the sky. The two ancient divine weapons, Jinshu and Biluo, suddenly unsheathed and turned into golden and jade light pythons that were dozens of feet tall. That water gate leader
.
Gelsemium laughed loudly. At the same time, his figure moved back and forth, and many shadows of Gelsemium appeared. Each shadow was laughing. Thousands of voices overlapped together, which was very evil: "Junior Brother An, don't worry, Senior Brother We are here to help you! Hahaha, I like this python the best, tsk tsk tsk, it’s the best, it’s the best!”
He released the Five Poison Immortal Swords. The evil swords were in one place, and the surrounding sky dimmed. The five swords flew forward to meet the python demon.
The addition of this new force immediately reversed the originally tilted balance of war!
