All Heavens: Start by guarding the light at night

Chapter 134 Nanmen disciples become officials, Wei Guangming enters the Tiankeng

The army was defeated like a mountain.

General Xiahou of Zhenbei entered Yanbei with an army of 3 people, but ultimately returned with less than [-] people.

Drunk lying on the battlefield with a withered sword, blood soaked clothes and sand.

The Tang and Xiling coalition forces were unable to withstand the desert army, so Yan had no choice but to surrender.

The military advisor of Zuozhang Wangting who planned this southward attack was Song Zuoyun.

His name resounded throughout Yanbei.

He is a peerless politician and strategist.

For thousands of years, the barbarians and the barbarians have been at odds with each other, and they have been fighting constantly.

This military advisor, under heavy pressure, fought against all opinions and united the barbarians and barbarians.

This is the most perfect political combination on the prairie.

When the allied forces arrived in Yanbei, Song Zuoyunshi showed the strategy of using the enemy's weakness, exposing 30 troops and hiding [-] troops.

Xiling and Datang thought they were sure of victory.

Dispatching the younger generation of disciples to the front lines for training.

Instead, they fell into a trap and caught them all in one fell swoop.

Xiling, Tang Dynasty, Southern Jin Dynasty, Yuelun and others paid a heavy price for this.

Among them, the most serious one is Datang.

In order to temper the academy disciples, many were sent to the front lines to participate in the war, but what greeted them was a devastating blow.

Song Zuoyun is an excellent commander and a leader with both wisdom and courage.

The invincible Tang Dynasty and Xiling are the strongest countries in this world.The cavalry of these two countries are the most powerful in the world, and together they are unbeatable.No one believed that the barbarians on the grassland would win.

Even the barbarians and barbarians do not believe that they can win.

What Song Zuoyun did was not that simple.

The reason why the Huangren cavalry became so powerful and could defeat the Tang army was because of another thing.

Stirrups, this is a piece of historical reform of the cavalry.

The Guangming Chamber of Commerce rewards inventions and research, and stirrups are one of the important reward items.

The person who invented this thing was just a humble groom in Guangming Palace.

In Haotian's world, cavalry only have saddles or are equipped with heavy armor. It is extremely expensive to train a cavalry.

This is why Xiling and the Tang Dynasty cavalry are famous throughout the world.

These two big countries can withstand that kind of consumption.

But weak countries cannot support it. For example, Yan State, after they lost their original cavalry, they could no longer train a new cavalry army.

Most of the barbarians and barbarians are good at riding, but not all of them are good at fighting on horseback.

The militarized cavalry of Datang and Xiling was not simple.

Riding a horse and wielding a weapon on a horse are two different things.

Generally, the cavalry can only hold a spear or spear and use the speed and mass of the horse to charge into the enemy formation. The movement cannot change in any way and cannot chop, because doing so will cause the rider to lose his balance and fall off the horse. On the battlefield, It is very possible to be trampled to death by the companions behind you, which is very dangerous.

With stirrups, it's different. Since there is something to step on, the cavalry can do more movements on the horse, wield larger and heavier weapons, and even dodge left and right, or stand up to charge up and attack. Pressing down will make the weapon more lethal.

The existence of stirrups turned all cavalry into elite cavalry trained by Datang and Xiling.

Unless there are big figures above the fifth realm participating in the fight.

Otherwise, under the impact of so many cavalry, even a strong man who knows his fate will not be able to stop these prairie cavalry.

What's more, the 36 elders of the Demon Sect gathered together, but the masters of the Tang Army and the Xiling Alliance Army went deep into the grassland. There was no suspense about this war.

Xiong Chumoben, the headmaster of Xiling, has arrived in the Yan Kingdom.

But no matter what, he was defeated like a mountain and he had no way to recover. He couldn't kill the mortals himself.

What's more, Yan State itself surrendered.

Academy disciple Long Qing personally stood at the top of the city to greet the prairie people who came from the prairie.

Xiling and Tang will not let the barbarians grow bigger.

Winter has arrived and it is extremely inconvenient to mobilize the army again.

We can only wait until the spring of next year to mobilize more troops to fight back.

The war between mortals is over, but the struggle between practitioners continues.

Xiahou fell out of favor, and when he returned to the Tang Dynasty after this trip, he was bound to be severely punished.

Before returning to Chang'an, he had to do something else.

For example, he led the practitioners of the Zhenbei Army to search for the legendary Heavenly Book.

The gate of Demon Sect Mountain has been opened, and they always want to take a look.

The same goes for the ruling priest of the Taoist sect.

What does success or failure among mortals have to do with practitioners.

Xiling lacks everything but people with faith. As long as there are no casualties on the cavalry and the practitioners do not suffer too much, it means there is no loss.

What does the life and death of mortals have to do with practitioners?
In the rich land of Xiling, even if another 40 troops are gathered, it is just a casual matter.

The battle of Yanbei was to support other countries, and they never took it seriously.

There are only two things that Xiling cares about, one is the emergence of the Heavenly Book, and the other is the rise of the Demon Sect.

Victory compared to the deserted man.

The scene of Wei Guangming fighting at the Demon Sect's mountain gate shocked practitioners all over the world.

The first Buddha to preach on earth, his life and death are unknown to this day.

What shocked the whole world even more was that Wei Guangming went to the west without stopping.

The white tower with the broken moon wheel.

Together with Liu Bai, he destroyed the entire Xuankong Temple.

The Buddhist sect that has been passed down for thousands of years was actually destroyed?

Even Master, when he looked at the West, his eyes were filled with complexity.

Master is aware of the Buddha's plan to trap Haotian.

Because of this, Master allowed the Buddha Sect to develop in the world for thousands of years.

If not, with Master’s personality, he would definitely teach the Buddha a good lesson.

The Master's way, the way of the world, emphasizes no belief, and he created a country without belief, the Tang State.

However, the Tao of the Moon Wheel is the purest faith. Apart from Buddha, one is not allowed to believe in anything.

In the Buddhist country, even some monks who believe in Haotian are not welcomed.

All people only worship Buddha.

The teachings of Buddhism are actually very good. They teach people to be kind and save all sentient beings.

Unfortunately, the implementer is not good.

The selfishness and greed of practitioners have blocked the dissemination of Buddhist scriptures. Mortals believe in Buddhism but cannot easily listen to Buddhist scriptures.

Only practitioners read the practice techniques in Buddhist scriptures.

They have never cared about the way to save all sentient beings described in Buddhist scriptures.

Practitioners, are they cultivating for individuals and to save all sentient beings?forget it.

The Buddha said that greed, anger, and ignorance are the three poisons. They have a pure heart and want to find a way to avoid them.

In fact, they have already been deeply poisoned by the three poisons. Since they did not have the courage to face the universal salvation of all sentient beings, there is no cure.

Xiahou went to the grassland.

In the Tang Dynasty's court, the voices of discussion about Xiahou never stopped.

The failure of Yanbei's situation was blamed by everyone in the court on Xiahou.

General Xia Hou of Zhenbei, why didn't he obey the command?
The imperial court issued three documents urging Xiahou to enter the grassland, and Xiahou was able to leave Tuyang City.

How could such a timid general deserve the title of Zhenbei Army?
No one in the entire court dared to speak out for Xia Hou.

Some generals who knew about it could only lower their heads and dare not speak.

Many students died in the academy.

This resulted in many vacancies throughout the court, which needed to be filled by the younger generation of students.

Those disciples who entered the South Gate suddenly received news that they could join the court as officials.

Astonished.

Can a poor student enter the imperial court?
There were too many objections in the court.

Li Zhongyi defied all opinions and vigorously promoted the policy of entering the dynasty from the south gate.

For many years, the Talisman Master Yan Se, who had never been to court, came to the court.

Yan Se stood in the court with his hunched body, and his back seemed to be carrying the stars, the ancient moon, and the world's mythical beasts.

Everyone in the court looked in awe.

The number one Talisman Master of the Tang Dynasty has now reached the fifth realm and is a legendary immortal.In the eyes of mortals, there is actually no difference between Master and Yan Se, practitioners above the Five Realms.

What's more, Yan Se stood in the court.

"Who is against my Nanmen students entering the court? Are my Yanse disciples inferior to those in your family who only know how to visit brothels every day?"

In the court, there are still some people who are not afraid of death. Academy students join the court as officials. This is a system that has been in place for thousands of years. How can it be easily changed.

Finally, some people stood up. If the south gate is opened and can enter the court as an official, then what happens in the future!

"Master Yanse, you are already an outsider, why do you need to interfere in mortal affairs?"

"Yes, Master Yanse, mortal matters are better handled by mortals themselves. You are a newly promoted saint, why do you need to mess with worldly matters?"

Yan Se straightened his body slightly and sneered:
"New saint? You will really put a high hat on me. I am old, but I am not confused yet. I have no less contact with ordinary people than you nobles in the court. In the entire Chang'an City, who doesn't know that there is a hunchback? What a bad old man, wandering around Chang'an City and outside the city with nothing to do all day? They don't know my identity, Yan Se, and you dignitaries don't know either? I, Yan Se, know more about people's livelihood and people's conditions than anyone else, who is more suitable? When it comes to being an official, I, Yan Se, know better that it is better to let a poor boy from Nanmen become an official than some trash who wants to get married."

"Master Yan Se, few of the disciples of Nanmen have been officials for generations, and even more of them have been farmers for generations. These people were born in a lowly position. What qualifications do these people have to become officials in the court?"

Yan Se's eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard the words "low origin".

"When did I become a lowly person? Do you think that the south gate of Haotian Dao is a lowly place?"

After worshiping at the South Gate, he is naturally a disciple of the South Gate. The humble words of his ancestors are naturally not enough to prove.

Li Qingshan stood up at the right time, "Nanmen disciples become officials in compliance with the time of heaven and Haotian's order. You should not obstruct it with your own selfish interests."

Some ministers from the Qin Tian Jian also stood up and said that by observing the stars at night, it was in compliance with destiny for Nanmen disciples to become officials.

In the court, many people were disciples of the academy.

They know very well how difficult it is to get into the academy, and they also know very well what they can learn in the academy.

If we say that in addition to academy disciples, Nanmen disciples can also become officials.

That means that academy students are no longer unique in the Tang Dynasty.

This debate in the court is bound to last for a long time.

The words of Yan Se, the first talisman master of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Qingshan, the national master of the Tang Dynasty, played a great role.

The matter of dealing with Xiahou was put on hold.

The White Pagoda was broken, and so was the Hanging Temple.

The matter of the moon wheel is far from over.

In front of the cliff, Wei Guangming was silent as he looked at the giant peaks of the sinkhole and the broken temples between the peaks. He had stared at this place countless times, but he still felt very shocked here.

There is a wilderness connected to the north of the moon wheel. It is extremely desolate and there are few desert people living here.

The location of the sinkhole is in the desolate area in the northwest of Haotian World.

The cliff is very steep, and it suddenly sinks from the surface of the wasteland, which is quite thrilling to watch.

Wei Guangming had never been under the sinkhole before, and this time he wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Didn't use Wujian, just walked slowly.

Liu Bai hesitated for a moment and followed.

Everywhere he stepped was gravel. Wei Guangming's expression was calm, like a snow lotus falling in the wind.

There is very little sunlight in winter, and the smooth cliffs and gravel paths are not clearly visible, especially as the cliff is a thousand feet deep. The light becomes dimmer as you go downwards, and the temperature is extremely low, which makes people feel chilly.

A lot of snow appeared between the cliffs and rocks. They continued to move forward in the cold snowy world. They didn't know how long they walked. Finally, they walked out of the shadow cast by the wasteland in the sinkhole and came to a place where the sun could shine. location.

Under the sun is an endless wilderness. It is very wide. If a practitioner does not use his strength, he will not even be able to see the distant scenery clearly.
There are various felt houses dotted in the wilderness. There are cold-resistant meadows on the ground near the rock wall, and long-haired cattle and sheep eat in the meadows.

The center of the tiankeng is very warm, and the contrast makes people feel like they have stepped from winter to spring.

The naturally growing grass in the wilderness began to turn into land cultivated by farmers, and the ears of the fields were constantly swaying in the breeze.

A new type of rice ear developed by the Guangming Chamber of Commerce?
It didn't spread even in Yuelun Country, so I didn't expect that this kind of crop would be produced under this sinkhole first.

Naturally, it cannot be for these criminals.

The food under the tiankeng is supplied to the monks in the Buddhist temple.

If there were not Buddhist temples all over the mountain, what would the monks in them have to eat if they were not working?

There was not enough light in the sinkhole, but the river not far away was actually steaming.

There is actually a hot spring under this sinkhole with insufficient light.

For Wei Guangming, this tiankeng is a brand new world, a world that only belongs to Buddha.

People living here have only one meaning in their lives, and that is to make offerings to the Buddha.

If you want to stay alive and eat, it is always inevitable.

In such an environment, regardless of planting or breeding, the yield will always be much less.

Even using the new rice ears from the Chamber of Commerce is still not enough to change the current situation here.

What's more, most of the food they grow needs to be turned over to Buddhist temples.

There was a faint tinkling of bells in the distance, and a pious hum sounded from all sides of the field.

"This is!"

Wei Guangming was a little shocked. The source of the sound was very far away. It was on a huge mountain peak in the middle of the wilderness. In an unknown yellow temple, there was still a monk banging on it.

People in the entire Tiankeng world are praying silently.

They do not understand Buddhist scriptures, nor have they read Buddhist scriptures. They only know that they need to pray after hearing the bell.

What's going on here?
They had all seen the shattered scene of the Hanging Temple, but they still responded mechanically to the bells of the Buddhist temple.

This simple power of faith in Buddha slowly gathered and gathered in the ruins of Hanging Temple.

"What a powerful formation. Could it be said that the Buddha Sect can use these ordinary mortals to infinitely repair the Hanging Temple formation?"

Liu Bai was shocked by this scene. The Buddha energy filling the sky was actually gathering again.

Wei Guangming shook his head helplessly: "The faith in this world is too simple. The Buddha Sect uses the people in the sinkhole to draw unlimited power of faith. Look at the people lying on the ground around them. They are trembling. , is fear, is despair..."

Liu Bai's hands couldn't help but tremble. As a Southern Jin person, he hated the moon wheel. How could the Buddhist sect be so high up and be worshiped by others? His behavior was even more high-profile than that of the Xiling Temple.

The temple represents the Haotian apostles, and this is the world of Haotian.

Believers in the temple will tell the doctrines to mortals and spread Taoist scriptures and thoughts.

Among mortals, the smart ones can also use this to enter the Taoist sect and become believers.

The Taoist Gate has the Hall of Light, which spreads the teachings of light, helps the world and saves the people, and saves the world from water and fire.

Tianyuyuan will predict disasters and make some arrangements in Xiling in advance to reduce disasters and protect the people.

The Adjudication Department, adhering to Haotian's will, will punish evil thieves and promote Taoism.

And what about Buddha?I only know how to ask for things, but I don’t know how to give back at all.

Liu Bai saw clearly the Buddha's world under the sinkhole, and his disgust became even greater.

Buddhism really deserves to die.

When the bell rings, every mortal in the sinkhole kneels down to pray.

Imprisoning mortals in such an environment, never to see the light of day.

Is the meaning of these people's lives just to provide faith for the Buddhist sect?

How can Buddhism be pure with such a belief?

There are no strong men left in the Xuankong Temple. Ringing the Buddha bell will still make so many mortals crawl and restore the formation of the Xuankong Temple.

According to this progress, how long will it take for the Xuankong Temple's formation to be restored?

Cutting weeds is rooting out.

In the tiankeng, more than 500 million ordinary people believe in Buddha.

As long as they live, a steady stream of faith will be born.

Do you want to kill them all?

Liu Bai was startled by his own thoughts.

With the great and merciful Great Priest of Light here, everyone under the sinkhole will definitely be saved.

Let them live a happy life.

Wei Guangming continued to move forward and dealt with the Buddha Sect. Naturally, he wanted to take a closer look at the Buddha's world.

Cold, dark and damp.

The west-slanting sun cannot shine here at all, and the vast wilderness at the bottom of the pit and the entire mountain peak are shrouded in shadow.

After walking for a long time, Wei Guangming arrived at the foot of the mountain belonging to the Xuankong Temple.

Turning around and looking at the road we came from, the original cliffs had turned into distant scenery, and traces of snow could not be seen clearly between the cliffs.

The cliffs surrounding the sinkhole are extremely far away from the bottom of the peak.

While in the tiankeng, one can clearly see that the peak where the Hanging Temple is located is higher than all the peaks in the world.

Such a high mountain peak is only level with the surrounding cliffs.

You can imagine what kind of dark and deep valley the tiankeng is.

People living in the tiankeng have seen the sky round for generations, and the fields in the fields are square and regular.

This reminded Wei Guangming of a word, the sky is round and the earth is round.

Liu Bai, who was dressed in white, looked at the round sky and couldn't help but said: "Sit in the well and look at the sky."
