The devil is coming

Chapter 543 The Immortal
The continuous drizzle fell and the dust fell, making the inside and outside of the military camp a little quieter.
In fact, the military camp should be a very noisy place, for the soldiers and generals inside, but to outsiders, it is often extremely quiet there, like a ferocious beast that is choosing people to devour, with its cold eyes. He glanced around.
Tian Wujing's figure appeared outside the Chinese army's stronghold, and beside him was a Taoist priest.
If Uncle Zheng were here, he would recognize him;
In the past, when I was at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, I had seen the sorcerer named Drunken Immortal Weng arranging formations for the corpse of Shatuo Queshi. Because of Xiao Liuzi, this Drunken Immortal Old Man even came over to say a few words. gossip.
Dayan, because when the late emperor was in power, he believed in alchemists, sorcerers, and various gods, Taoists, Buddhists, etc., for a time, the city of Yanjing was called a "pistil".
After Emperor Yan came to the throne, he swept away the old rules and almost set off a wave of extermination of Buddhism and Taoism. All other gods and ghosts were also swept away and arrested.
I ate as much as the royal family at first, but in the end, I vomited it out twice as much.
But this does not mean that there are no people from outside the country in the Yan Kingdom. Let’s not mention it far away, let’s just say that the former palace master was just a Qi Refiner?
Emperor Yan valued martial arts and was too lazy to deal with the law. People from outside the country who could be used for his own purposes would still be welcomed by the court.
Drunkard is one of them, he really has some skills.
but,
Thousands of miles of battlefield, millions of troops fighting in battle formations, and picturesque scenes of gold and iron horses, there is really no room for Taoist robes or cassocks or warlocks' crowns.
If added, it will become very cumbersome.
This is not their battlefield, and it is difficult for them to play a substantial role here.
That's why Master Qian Guozang didn't guard the three sides and went deep into Yanjing to cut the dragon's veins, because his ability was actually not worth mentioning in front of the fierce cavalry that swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, at least, he couldn't bring up that power.
There are tens of thousands of paths to practice, and there are also millions of paths to follow, but most of them lead one way and lead another.
Drunken Immortal Old Man said;
"When I came here, I heard from the sentinels that Uncle Hirano had made great achievements again. He was right here in the middle of the army, my lord. Why didn't I see him?"
Tian Wujing said:
"The war at Xishan Fort is at a stalemate, and Li Fusheng has been unable to capture it for a long time. Yesterday, the king asked him to help command."
Hearing this, Druid Immortal Old Man smiled and said, "This is indeed difficult for Li Fusheng. As a native of Beifeng County, the desert is vast. He has been leading troops there for half his life. How can he attack the city?"
"Zheng Fan seems to be from Beifeng County too."
"That one is an alien."
"Alien?"
"Yes."
Tian Wujing stood on the hillside, looking ahead. Behind him, there were towering and neat military villages.
"According to the custom of charlatans, are you going to say that when you first met him, you thought he was extraordinary?"
"Hahahaha, we can't talk about it, we can't talk about it. If we really found out, how could we have just met in a hurry? But the ten words Uncle Zheng once said have always been in my heart.
He said that what a sorcerer like Lao Chan does is nothing more than making a living by talking about people and ghosts. "
"It's quite appropriate."
"No, it's a pity that I didn't touch Uncle Zheng's bones back then."
"When he comes back in two days, you can touch it again and say a few good words about happiness and longevity. He will also be happy."
"Can you come back in two days?"
Xishan Fort should be difficult to attack, otherwise a battlefield veteran like Li Fusheng would not have been able to maintain a stalemate there for so long.
at this time,
A group of personal guards came on horseback.
"Your Majesty, battle report from the Western Front, our army has entered Xishan Fort and is clearing out the remaining enemies!"
Tian Wujing waved his hand.
The guards immediately withdrew.
Drunkard Immortal touched his white beard and sighed, "Is it broken?"
Tian Wujing nodded and said, "It's much earlier than I expected."
"How did you do it?"
"Tomorrow, you can ask him yourself."
"My lord, you don't know either?"
"When His Majesty uses you to do things, do you still need to study the techniques yourself?"
"What the prince said is absolutely true."
Tian Wujing sat on the ground.
Drunken Immortal Old Man also crossed his legs on one side and said;
"I also saw that Eunuch Huang from the palace is here."
"Well, I brought a word of mouth."
"I think it's extremely important."
"Your Majesty asked me how long this battle will last."
Zuixianweng's expression suddenly froze. He really didn't expect that King Jingnan would speak out His Majesty's words in front of him.
How could it be that a red-robed eunuch was sent all the way to deliver the oral instructions?
Why so much trouble?
Isn’t it because this oral edict is inconvenient to put on paper?
"This………"
Tian Wujing said calmly:
"Your Majesty is holding on to the days and trying to hold on until the attack on Chu is over."
Although Zuixianweng is an outsider and should logically jump out of the Five Elements, after hearing these words, his body trembled several times in succession.
If he were alone, he wouldn't be afraid of anything, but he had disciples and disciples.
Everyone in the world thinks that the secrets of heaven are mysterious and unfathomable, but the storm in the court is the real terror.
Tian Wujing turned around and looked to the south, Zhennanguan Pass, in that direction.
"Your Majesty has always been very high-spirited and doesn't like to admit defeat. Since he said he wanted to hold on, he will definitely be able to hold on until the end of the attack on Chu.
When you came to Jin, you should have passed through the capital. Didn't you go and see it? "
Zui Xianweng's face was already a little sallow. He really didn't want to get involved in this kind of topic. Any mistake could cause him to fall into an abyss.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he let go.
Since the prince in front of me asked the question so calmly, I listened and answered calmly.
Anyway, the person in front of me disdains and cannot do such things as repaying God. If he continues to shrink back, he will lose his dignity.
"I have been to Yanjing, eaten roast duck, and met Eunuch Wei, but I have never met His Majesty. Your Majesty still trusts the imperial doctor more."
said,
Drunken Immortal shook his head again and said:
"I think that the former palace master has already done what we are supposed to do. Now, we can only rely on the imperial doctor.
However, it's a good thing that I don't know. Since I know, from today on, I will chant a round of sutras for His Majesty every night. "
"He would just find it annoying. Back then, when he knew that I had practiced Taoism, he asked me, do you also want to attain Taoism and inquire about the secrets of heaven?"
The drunken immortal smiled, thinking that King Jingnan was recalling what happened back then, because everyone knew that in the early years, the former King of Jingnan played behind His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and Li Liangting, the Crown Prince.
"I said, I don't know." King Jingnan continued to narrate, "He said, if you don't know, just come and ask him."
The drunken immortal's taste was not right.
Tian Wujing's eyes narrowed slightly and he continued slowly:
“He has always wanted to be a real Ninth Five Supreme Being.
he said,
God's meaning has to be expressed by celestial phenomena. When the celestial phenomena come out, it has to be guessed by the people in Qintian Prison. If they guess wrong, they will get the wrong meaning, and it will be in vain.
But a true emperor holds the Constitution of Heaven in his mouth, determines the livelihood of all people with one word, and destroys a country with one sword.
The way of heaven is too high, too far, too ethereal;
Emperor,
right here. "
"Your Majesty's civil and military skills are rare among emperors since ancient times."
Tian Wujing said;
"However, the sky is vast and misty, and the emperors of the world can never escape the dream of being an emperor and an emperor."
"Actually, Your Majesty, the reason why I entered Yan was because when I was observing the sky at night, I found the star of Ziwei shining in the northwest of Zhuxia, so I entered Yan in order to have the opportunity to realize the Tao with the emperor's energy.
Come to think of it,
The Master Zang of Qian Kingdom also calculated this, and then went down to Yanjing City to perform the act of severing the dragon's veins. All the lotus flowers bloomed, and only one broken lotus was left. "
"Although I practice Taoism, I have never been too lazy to pay attention to the nagging things of God.
The hometown of Dayan was preserved by countless ancestors over the past 800 years.
This land of Jin was also conquered by my own hands, led by me, the Great Yanerlang;
There is no providence, no destiny, no destiny for the country.
If you really think so, you are just desecrating Yan Dierlang who is buried in the withered grave. "
"Yes."
The drunken immortal didn't want to argue, because he could see that, even though King Jingnan himself knew some Taoism, in essence, he was the same as His Majesty.
"What's going on over at Wangjiang?"
It’s time to get down to business.
The Drunken Immortal immediately said: "The fifth prince helped me a lot. Although I am proficient in hydrology and astronomical phenomena, the fifth prince's ingenious craftsmanship really opened my eyes to him.
Now, water is being diverted, but more time is needed to ensure that nothing goes wrong when the gate is breached. "
Tian Wujing shook his head and said:
"I can't give you time, but I can tell Yingdu that in addition to the transportation of grain, grass and ordnance, the rest of the people can be used for river construction."
Now that the West Mountain Fort and the East Mountain Fort have been destroyed one after another, a huge gap has been opened in the Chu people's defense system before Zhennanguan. It will not be difficult to take down the remaining military forts.
"Thank you, Lord."
In fact, Zuixianweng came here just for this matter. Officials from Yingdu were supposed to come, but none of them dared to come to trouble King Jingnan.
"Remember, you touched the bones of those princes."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the eldest prince is like a fierce tiger conquering the territory, and the prince is like a crouching dragon in the wild..."
"Speak of Lao Liu."
"Sixth Prince, the Sixth Prince is a wealthy and idle man."
"Lao Liu is the person most like your Majesty. Do you mean that your Majesty is also a wealthy and idle person?"
Drunken Immortal smiled and said: "Of course, it needs to be avoided."
Next, King Jingnan did not ask further questions.
Instead stand up,
He stretched out his hand and waved.
In the distance, a personal guard who was on guard outside came on horseback, waiting for orders.
"The order goes down, the army is allowed to drink alcohol today."
"Here!"
On weekdays, soldiers are not allowed to drink privately. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!
But sometimes, the coach will allow drinking in order to boost morale, but the amount must be controlled and no one who is really drunk will be allowed.
The Drunken Immortal touched his beard,
laughed:
"It seems that the old man has taken oral medicine today, and he can still drink a bowl of water and wine with the prince. Is the prince congratulating him for the destruction of Xishan Fort?"
Tian Wujing shook his head,
Said very calmly:
"No, just happy."
