This time, the Quanzhen Sect only sent three disciples to go north with Lu Yi. These three disciples were Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu, and Wang Chuyi. Wang Chongyang wants to take charge of the Quanzhen Sect, but he cannot easily leave the Quanzhen Sect.
Originally, there were many disciples of the Quanzhen sect who wanted to go north to fight against the Liao Dynasty, but Lu Yi knew that during the war between Song and Liao, the situation was chaotic and it would be difficult for the Song Dynasty to make achievements. No matter how many disciples the Quanzhen sect sent, it would be useless, so he only took three The disciples went north.
For the current Quanzhen Sect, disciples must work hard to cultivate and gradually increase the sect's foundation. The three disciples led by Lu Yi are all talented and worthy of training.
Especially Naqiu Chuji, among all the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, he not only ranked first in martial arts, but also had a deep understanding of Taoism. It is not difficult to inherit the Quanzhen sect's orthodoxy after practicing hard.
The Quanzhen sect went all the way north, and twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiongzhou was already in sight. Xiongzhou is the city at the junction of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. If you go past it, you will enter the Liao Kingdom.
At this time, many martial arts people have come to Xiongzhou City. These martial arts people are either long-established martial arts masters or disciples of famous sects. As for some idle warriors, they had already sneaked into Daliao.
Xiongzhou City is an important military town, responsible for resisting Daliao's invasion all year round. At this time, Xiongzhou City was already filled with the atmosphere of war, and neatly-dressed sergeants could be seen everywhere. It was obvious that the Song Dynasty was ready to send troops.
Ten days later, Zhuge Shenhou from the Shenhou Mansion appeared and invited various martial arts sects and many famous masters to gather together to formulate a strategy to fight against the Daliao Wulin.
"The news of this war has already spread out, and we can't hide it if we want to. I'm afraid Daliao has already made preparations, but it's very difficult for us to act secretly!" When the heroes gathered, Zen Master Jingneng of Shaolin Temple took the lead. said.
"I went deep into Daliao and found that Daliao has implemented all-round martial law. It is really difficult to secretly kill local generals!" Hong Qi, the leader of the Beggar Clan, told what he knew.
"It doesn't matter! Now that the news has been spread, we might as well fight the Liao Kingdom's martial arts in an open and honest manner. The focus of this national war is still on the battlefield. If we can defeat the Liao Kingdom's martial arts, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly boosted!" Zhuge Shenhou! After thinking for a moment, he expressed his thoughts.
Many martial arts people pondered for a moment, and they all agreed with Zhuge Shenhou's statement. After all, this war is a national war. Although martial arts people can contribute, the outcome is truly determined on the battlefield. However, martial arts people are only relatively strong in their own abilities. On the battlefield, facing thousands of troops, no matter how powerful personal force is, it will not have much effect.
"The strength of Xiao Wansheng, the national master of the Liao Kingdom, is unfathomable. There are even masters from the Demon Sect of the Western Regions among the Liao Kingdom, but don't be careless!" Zhuge Shenhou discussed with everyone and analyzed the many masters of the Liao Kingdom one by one. Among them, the ones who need the most attention are undoubtedly the members of the Liao Kingdom's Imperial Preceptor and the Demon Sect of the Western Regions.
Zhuge Shenhou pondered for a moment and said: "Although Xiao Wansheng's martial arts is extremely high, he has not yet reached the peak. I can stop him. It's just that Yang Baitian, the leader of the Demon Sect in the Western Regions, is invincible. There are many masters, so you must be careful and don’t be careless!”
"The Demon Sect of the Western Regions has always been hidden in the Liao Kingdom and Xixia. This time the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom are in a battle that will overwhelm the country, and the Demon Sect will definitely take action. However, this time we have many experts, and the Demon Sect of the Western Regions will not take action. If it does, , He will never come or go!" The leader of the Huashan Sect has long had a deep hatred with the Demon Sect of the Western Regions, and he wishes he could kill the Demon Sect to an end.
After everyone discussed, tasks were gradually assigned. Most of the Central Plains masters will fight to the death with the Liao masters, hoping to achieve results and boost morale before the war begins. However, individual masters were assigned to generals at all levels in the army to guard against assassinations by Liao masters.
Originally, the Quanzhen sect was supposed to join most martial arts masters in a decisive battle with the Liao masters. However, at Lu Yi's request, Quanzhen sect's disciples were eventually sent to protect the generals who unified the Song Dynasty.
This time the martial arts masters from the Central Plains gather together to fight against the masters from the Liao Kingdom. There is a high probability that they will win. Moreover, with many masters sitting in charge, there will not be too much danger. But protecting generals is different. Not only does it have to face assassinations by various masters, it is also a hard job in itself, and no one is willing to do it.
The reason why Lu Yi was like this was naturally because he knew that this time the Song Dynasty could not win the battle against Liao Dynasty, so no matter how many martial arts achievements he made in the Central Plains, it would be useless. Now that the Liao Kingdom is in turmoil, Lu Yi's many plans must be started quickly, and this will fall on the commander of the army.
He brought the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect to the army. This time the Song Dynasty attacked the Liao Dynasty. The leader was Tong Guan, and the two armies under his command were commanded by Zongshi Dao and Xin Qingzong respectively. The duty of Lu Yi and the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect is to protect Tong Guan from assassination by Liao masters.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Tong Guan has a heavy responsibility and should be protected by the Shenhou Mansion. However, thanks to Lu Yi's innate cultivation level and the battle in Shaolin Temple, Lu Yi has now become famous in the world. At Lu Yi's request, the heavy responsibility of protecting Tong Guan fell on Lu Yi.
When they arrived at the army, Lu Yi and others did not see Tong Guan immediately. Lu Yi was secretly paying attention to the sergeant of the Song Dynasty. After taking a look, Lu Yi couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Although the morale of the Song Dynasty sergeant was good, his equipment was poor and his training was perfunctory. At first glance, he was not an elite army.
"No wonder Tong Guan was defeated this time. It's strange that an army of this strength can win!" Lu Yi really couldn't stand it. The Song Dynasty was an oddity in the history of dynasties. It was okay for civilians to command the army, but they didn't have any ability at all. Don't know how to drill a sergeant. This is not so much an army as it is farmers with weapons.
After waiting for three days, Lu Yi finally met Tong Guan, who had arrived belatedly. Lu Yi brought the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect to visit. Tong Guan's attitude was not bad. After all, Lu Yi and others protected Tong Guan, but they just liked Lu Yi and others but did not. They just said a few words that were not salty or indifferent. , and asked Lu Yi and others to retreat.
"Although Tong Guan is not very capable, he is deeply trusted by Huizong and can command the army, but he is not stupid!" Through a few words, Lu Yi already had a basic understanding of Tong Guan. This person is not stupid, and is extremely smart, otherwise he would not be a very popular minister. But just looking at Tong Guan's arrangement in the army, this person has no military talent.
For ten consecutive days, Lu Yi had been guarding Tong Guan Zhang, and the people in the army had gradually become familiar with the existence of the Quanzhen Sect and others. After Lu Yi showed his martial arts skills, Tong Guan's attitude towards Lu Yi became much better. There are also some martial arts people under Tong Guan, but they have not reached the innate realm.
That night, Lu Yi asked all the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect to go back to rest first, while he alone guarded Tong Guan's tent. In the army, Tong Guan did not dare to be too presumptuous. He studied military strategies every day, and his appearance was perfect. As for whether it was useful, I am afraid only Tong Guan himself knew.
"What's important, Director Lu?" Tong Guan couldn't help but ask when he saw Lu Yi walking into the military tent alone.
"I have observed that Master Tong has been working hard for the country these days, and his body is probably damaged. Many Taoists of my generation have methods to calm the mind and maintain health. I wonder if Master Tong wants to give it a try?" Old God Lu Yi said calmly.
"Oh? It turns out that Director Lu has this secret method. Give it a try quickly. I'm getting older and I can't stand it after being in the army for a long time!" Tong Guan had no doubt that he was there and quickly agreed.
During this period of time, the content will always reveal some methods inadvertently. Whether it is to cure diseases and save people, or to draw Taoist talismans to relieve disasters, Lu Yi has done it to the best of his ability. In addition, Taoist mantras often appear in the language. Now, everyone in Tong Guan's army doesn't know that Lu Yi is a Taoist master with real abilities, so it is natural for Tong Guan to have this attitude.
"Master Tong, please sit down!" Lu Yi asked Tong Guan to sit down, and the innate true energy slowly penetrated Tong Guan's body, gradually nourishing Tong Guan's already old body. Nourished by the innate Qi, Tong Guan's expression was peaceful, his body relaxed, and he couldn't help but moan in comfort.
At this moment, a divine light flashed across Lu Yi's eyes, and Tong Guan felt that his thinking had fallen into chaos. A voice kept ringing in his mind, and Tong Guan's eyes gradually became dull. Slowly falling into a deep sleep.
The innate energy was slowly withdrawn, and Lu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was obvious that Lu Yi had consumed a lot just now. Naturally, Lu Yi did not waste time recuperating Tong Guan, but used this as an excuse to perform a skill called "Seizing Souls and Seizing Souls".
This skill was learned by Lu Yi from the "Nine Yin Manual". This skill is extremely rare. It is a skill that affects other people's minds. After Lu Yi obtained this skill, he studied it carefully and combined it with the power of his own bloodline to make this skill possible. The power of the skill is increased, and it has the effect of controlling other people's minds. However, the limit of this skill is also extremely high.
First of all, the caster's own cultivation must be deep enough, and then the person being cast needs to be defenseless. It also takes a long time to cast this spell to gradually control a person's mind. And with Lu Yi's current ability, he can only control one person at most with this skill. If he uses more, he will be unable to continue due to too much mental damage.
Lu Yi made many previous arrangements to win Tong Guan's trust and make him relax his vigilance, so that he could control Tong Guan without anyone noticing. This time, when he found an opportunity, Lu Yi used the method of seizing the soul to initially control Tong Guan's mind.
In the following days, Lu Yi successively used the method of seizing souls and souls, gradually controlling Tong Guan's mind. During this period, not to mention others, not even Tong Guan himself noticed anything strange. Tong Guan also praised Lu Yi in front of others, saying that every time he was nursed back to health by Lu Yi, he would be more energetic the next day.
Just like this, half a month later, after Lu Yi used Soul Seizing for the last time, Tong Guan did not fall asleep again. I saw Tong Guan kneeling on one knee in front of Lu Yi, his expression was undoubtedly that of an ordinary person, and he said respectfully: "Master!"
"You remain as you are and don't reveal our relationship!" Lu Yi smiled. He worked hard for half a month and finally succeeded.
"Yes! Master!" Tong Guan's appearance was no different from before, but under the influence of Soul Seizing Soul, he obeyed Lu Yi's words and would not disobey him at all.
