I am the man who wants to be the immortal and the devil emperor

Hundreds of warriors rushed down from the upper reaches by boat, firing arrows on the river surface, and the rockets roared.

Shi Hao said: "These are the heroes of Lieshuitang. The rockets they use are specially made by the craftsmen and swordsmiths of the Benglei Society. No matter how humid the weather is or how strong the wind is, they can burn."

Bai Yao said happily: "I heard that Lieshuitang and Bengleihui have always been at odds in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they have been fighting each other for many years. "Fire Monkey" Guan Hua, the leader of the Lei Club, had a heart-to-heart talk with them, and then got drunk with them, and just now he persuaded them to join hands with each other to fight against the tyranny."

Shi Hao said: "It's also because these two are bloody men and heroes. Otherwise, even Shi Chongyun, how could he persuade them so easily?"

Bai Yao said: "Although this is the case, I heard that the two people have completely different personalities. 'Leng Jiangxiong' Xiang Changjian has a cold personality and is difficult to get along with, and 'Fire Monkey' Guan Hua is irritable and has a fiery temper. We must kill them It is by no means an easy task to convince both of them.

"What's more, these two people have been enemies of each other for many years, and it is even more difficult to make them cooperate with each other, just like mixing water and fire forcibly."

Shi Hao said: "Since we know their personalities are like this, it is much easier to deal with their personalities. Although their personalities are different, they all have a chivalrous heart and are willing to fight to protect the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. .Maybe that Shi Chongyun didn't say much, but just gave them a chance to cooperate, that's all."

Bai Yao said: "If you want to come to this war, you will win more than you will. In the end, it is to constantly increase your own chances of winning and reduce the opponent's chances. Every detail may be a detail, and the details are constantly piled up. Being together is the cornerstone of victory.

"What this Shi Chongyun did may not be enough to determine the outcome of the entire battlefield, but this one thing together is like the confluence of hundreds of rivers, and eventually becomes a mighty and unrivaled battle. trend."

Shi Hao smiled and said: "It seems that you are more confident than this Shi Chongyun."

Bai Yao smiled and said: "This 'Qianlong' master Chongyun is my idol. Although I have never met him, these days, I have been collecting information about him and inquiring about his deeds. He has done a lot, so he admires him very much.”

Shi Hao said: "That's it, it's a pity that I'm not that Shi Chongyun, otherwise I would be extremely moved by your worship, Brother Bai."

Scanning the battlefield, he said: "In this battle, the barbarian army went all out. Huang Tianjun and many heroes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are also fighting desperately. Although the battlefield on the Wusong River side is related to the overall situation, both sides will do their best. They are constantly coming, I am afraid that the war will not end so soon."

Bai Yao continued to point: "There is nothing left and right, why don't we go to the other side of the mountain and have a look?"

The two wandered away. It snowed in this area a few days ago, but this is not the north. Even on the top of the mountain, there is only a small amount of white snow remaining on the branches.

The chilling chill and the roar at the foot of the mountain intertwined into an elegy, filling the sky and the earth.

Although the weather is cold, the blood that flows out is always hot, and the smell of blood permeates, even such a high mountain cannot stop it.

Bai Yao said: "If this battle is lost, needless to say, if Huang Tianjun and these heroes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang win, brother, how do you think the whole situation will evolve?"

Shi Hao said: "If we can win this battle, Guangling, an important city, will definitely fall into the hands of Huang Tianjun. Jiangzhou and Guangling are each other's elites. For the barbarian army, no city can afford to lose.

"Without Guangling, Jiangzhou will lose the support of the Grand Canal. The barbarian army stationed in Jiangzhou is equivalent to cutting off the backup, so they will inevitably withdraw from the south bank of the Changhe River. The Dongting Army occupies the upper end of the Changhe River. Next, If the Dongting Army can cooperate with the Dragon and Phoenix Society and the Huang Tian Army to take the initiative to attack, then the battle for control of the Huai River will follow.

"Everywhere in the northwest, Hanshui, Bashan, Daxing City, etc., if they take the opportunity to revolt, the barbarian army will be defeated."

Bai Yao said: "I heard that 'Qianlong' Shi Chongyun had a secret meeting with the magic commander of the Dongting Army, and asked the magic commander Hao Xinghua to send a backbone expert to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to assist Huang Tianjun. I don't know what you think of that magic commander?

"After all, if the Dongting Army takes the initiative to attack the Huai River, although it can win the opportunity for the anti-barbarian forces in the world and make the attack and defense change, but at that moment, the Dongting Army will inevitably face the full blow of the barbarian court. He is a man in the way of the devil. , do you have the awareness to share China's worries?"

Shi Hao said with a smile: "The man in the Demon Sect is weird and unpredictable, how can I guess his intentions? But since the commander-in-chief is a member of the Demon Sect, the word 'mo' alone has already made people in the martial arts worry. Heavy, it was only because he clearly posed the banner of resisting barbarism that he was able to slowly recruit heroes from all over the world.

"Since this is the case, sending troops to Huaishui is a test for him. Besides, I heard that he once participated in the battle of the overlord's underground palace against the barbarian court and the Supreme Emperor Lie Zunyi with his mid-level strength, and assisted the goddess baby and Yun Caiyao from the Taisu Immortal Pavilion. fairy.

"Compared to Venerable Yinyue, the head teacher of the Chongxian sect, who obviously has top-rank strength, but only wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. This person is also courageous and insightful. I am still willing to trust him."

Bai Yao pondered for a while, then nodded slightly: "Brother's words are also reasonable."

Shi Hao asked back: "Brother Bai doesn't trust him?"

Bai Yao said: "In fact, a long time ago, Dao and Demon had no other meaning in themselves. It's just that over time, Tao and Demon have gradually become the distinction between good and evil. Although there are villains in the Taoist sect, there are also evil people in the Demon sect. There may be good ones, but in general, Tao represents inaction and inaction, and demons represent insidiousness and cunning.

"The reputation accumulated over a long period of time in history is not only due to the propaganda of the Taoist sect. Even if there are hypocrites in the Taoist sect, as long as the rituals of the demon sect's advancement remain unchanged, the demonic way is an evil way and an evil way!"

Shi Hao nodded and said: "Many rituals in the Demon Sect are indeed harmful to nature and disregard human relations. Unlike the Taoist Sect, they search for immortal materials and practice outer alchemy on their own, so they can stand aloof from the world. There is no meaning of good or evil in itself, just two different ways of cultivation, but after a long time, it is a matter of course that Tao represents good and devil represents evil.

"Just is there a possibility, be it Dao or Demon, their cultivation methods are all flawed?"

Chapter 378

Bai Yao showed a slight astonishment.

His delicate face was not frozen in the cold wind blowing from the top of the mountain, but instead looked even more rosy.

He said: "I don't know what brother Tai said is flawed, what is it referring to?"

Shi Hao said: "It is rumored that immortal gods have the magic of immortality and the miraculous power of ascension in the daytime. However, whether it is Taoism or magic, no matter how hard you practice it, you can't do it. It's better than 300 years. The former Taisu Immortal Pavilion Shengxuan Fairy and Demon Sect Charming Emperor are also difficult to be reborn and become saints, does this mean that the cultivation methods of Taoism and Demon Sect have shortcomings?"

Bai Yao said softly: "But it needs to be proved that the art of immortality and the law of ascension in the daylight do exist, and only then can we pursue it. If there are no such gods, then no matter how you practice, you are just looking for fish from a tree. It’s just fishing for the moon in the water.”

Shi Hao said: "Then, is there a possibility that if you can practice both the magic and the Taoist techniques together, there will be unexpected effects?"

Bai Yao couldn't help laughing and said: "Daoism and demons are incompatible. What I'm talking about is not just the way of dealing with things between Taoism and demonism, but also the means of cultivation. Since ancient times, there have been countless strange people and strange men. It's not that no one has tried it, it's just that none of them have had a good end, and no one will dare to try it again."

Shi Hao nodded: "That's true!"

Bai Yao asked puzzledly: "Brother, it seems that he is also a person with extensive knowledge. He shouldn't be ignorant of this truth, but why did he come up with such conjectures out of thin air?"

Shi Hao said with a smile: "Brother Bai, I am just an ordinary person, not someone with extensive knowledge. As an ordinary person, it is inevitable to look at the sky and make wild guesses. Brother Bai, tell me, is there a possibility that The immortals in ancient times actually practiced both internally and externally.

"The immortals at that time also needed inner alchemy and outer alchemy, but their outer alchemy was special?"

Bai Yao said: "How special?"

Shi Hao said: "For example, the Taoist inner alchemy method of the Taoist school, coupled with the magic source in the demon realm, is the orthodox way of cultivating immortals? But now the outer alchemy refined from various immortal materials can only Is it an 'imitation' of the real Wai Dan?"

A look of surprise flashed in Bai Yao's eyes: "This... I have never made such a conjecture. But the source of magic can only be obtained by yin demons in the demon realm. It is a monster. This kind of thinking may be unreasonable Unreasonable!"

Shi Hao said with a smile: "I guessed wildly, and sometimes I thought, maybe the source of the devil is not owned by those Yin demons at all. A long time ago, the heavens and the human world were one, and the heavens had their own gods to watch over them, and these gods controlled the outer alchemy.

"After the inner alchemy has reached a certain level in Taoist cultivation, the outer alchemy will be bestowed by the gods in the sky, so that they can continue to advance. Therefore, the ninth-grade immortal formula is not just called "immortal formula" as it is now, but the real one. The means of becoming a saint, but this means is actually in the hands of the gods.

"But later, something happened in the heavens, and the Taoists in the world couldn't get the real Wai Dan, so they tried every means to find medicinal materials in the world and refine the 'Wai Dan'. Besides, the pill can only be regarded as an imitation of the ordinary product in the world, not a real fairy prescription, so it is also Can't make people supernatural.

"The real outer alchemy may be just the fruit of the fairy tree planted by the fairy gods in the sky, but after something happened in the heaven, it turned into a demon realm together with its location, and fell into the hands of those yin demons. With a certain degree of pollution, the fruit on the fairy tree became a 'demonic source'.

"As for the various magic gate rituals to obtain the magic source, it is purely because mortals cannot enter the demon realm and have to make deals with those Yin demons, it has nothing to do with the magic source itself."

Bai Yao's eyes shone brightly, and his words were surprised: "Although it's just a conjecture, there is an unexpected reason for it, but in the past, Dao and demons did not stand side by side, so no one has ever dared to guess in this regard.

"However, Xiongtai not only knows that there is a heaven, but also knows that the heaven has already collapsed. Xiongtai is definitely not an ordinary person."

Shi Hao said with a smile: "I'm just a scholar. If I read a lot, I know more than other people. Similarly, if you read too much, you will inevitably think wildly. This statement is just an understatement. Brother Bai don't care about his wild thoughts."

Bai Yao smiled slightly, and said, "Although it's just a conjecture, it makes me feel suddenly enlightened. I even feel that perhaps the secrets of ancient times are really like this. It's just that any conjecture must be supplemented with evidence after all. If I have time in the future, I will , or will try to see if we can find evidence in this regard.

Shi Hao said: "I'm just talking casually, relying on unrestrained wild guesses and making some fantasies. Not only is Brother Bai not joking, but he wants to find evidence in this regard. It seems that Brother Bai is the real extraordinary person .”

Bai Yao said: "Brother, you are joking, brother, it is the real unfathomable, so that the little brother can't understand anything."

Shi Hao said: "I feel the same! I feel the same!"

At this end of the mountain, looking down, the battle here is getting more and more intense.

Like running water colliding with each other, both sides tried their best.

Huang Tian's army stepped forward in a formation of geese, and another elite barbarian army rode on horses, attacked from the side, shot random arrows from the forest, and followed the wind, shooting into the barbarian cavalry.

The iron cavalry of the barbarian army had bright armor and were not affected by the random arrows. Another flying cavalry riding Yingzhao came out from behind.

The number of heroic moves is rare, even on the battlefield, and most of them are the best warriors in the army. It can be seen that the real elite of the barbarian army has been dispatched.

Bai Yao said: "This is the Baiyang Army. Once the Baiyang Army is deployed, it is often overwhelming and unstoppable. I don't know if the Huang Tian Army can stop this hurdle? If it is broken by the Baiyang Army At this pass, the flanks are completely collapsed, and the Wusong River cannot be defended no matter what."

Shi Hao said: "As Brother Bai said before, the more you win, the less you win! Although the Baiyang army is strong, they are famous among the barbarian army. Huang Tianjun must deal with it. Dragons will most likely be prepared."

While speaking, Huang Tianjun's geese separated, and a group of warriors fought towards Baiyang's army.

Bai Yao was condescending, looked down, and said in surprise: "This army is not only well-trained and fearless of death, but also everyone knows their position. Three people form a small team, ten people form a large team, and five large teams form a large team." lump.

"It's all right for everyone to be a martial arts practitioner. There is also some bravery and fearlessness. To be able to do this, everyone knows where they are. Even if they are caught in a fierce battle, they will not be chaotic at all. It is not unusual. Huang Tianjun will not be able to train Such elite soldiers."

Shi Hao said: "This is the elite of the Dongting Army who came thousands of miles away to support Huang Tian's army. The two leaders are Li Yiming and Gui Xiaoren who have recently joined the Dongting Army. I heard that these two are members of the Ghost Sect. It's just that he was unlucky, so he had to betray Guijizong and join the Dongting Army.

"Well, speaking of the Ghost Sect, the Ghost Sect is the number one sect of the Demon Sect. I heard that they tried to build a ghost on earth in Daxing City, but they were stopped by Fairy Yuncaiyao in the Taisu Immortal Pavilion. Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise Daxing City University has tens of 10 people, and I am afraid that all of them will inevitably encounter accidents.

"I wonder if Brother Bai has seen that Fairy Yuncaiyao?"

Bai Yao said: "This person is like Shi Chongyun, who can't see the end of the dragon, how can I have a chance to meet him?"

After a pause, he said: "It is true that Li Liming and Gui Xiaoren are strong generals, but on the battlefield, their personal bravery is limited. The elite soldiers they lead are only six hundred in number. It seems that they are able to hold off the white horse at this moment. Yang Jun, it's very unusual."

He looked down and sighed: "Since the Dongting Army rushed here to fight, I must have not had much time to rest when I arrived here, but I still have this level of combat power. The magic commander can train such elites. is very unusual.

"I heard that after the commander-in-chief established the Dongting Army, the soldiers in the general were divided into three groups. One group was stationed, one group was trained, and the other group hired teachers and people who could read and write in the army to teach and teach, so that the soldiers in the army could learn more. Everyone can read and write. This kind of practice has never been heard of throughout the ages."

Shi Hao shook his head and said, "Since you are called the Commander-in-Chief, it is inevitable that you will be more independent, right?"

The two of them observed it, and Bai Yao smiled slightly: "It seems that the Baiyang army is blocked, it seems that these elite cavalry are all looking for the right opportunity, and with one effort, tear the opponent's line of defense with an unstoppable momentum. play a decisive role.

"Now being blocked here, other soldiers and horses are coming in a steady stream. The battle situation has fallen into a stalemate, and even these Baiyang troops have begun to fall into chaos. In this way, although these Baiyang troops are still strong, they are already strong. It is no longer the key to the battle."

Shi Hao said: "It seems that even if it is this side, it will be difficult to tell the winner for a while."

Bai Yao said: "If this battle continues, what do you think will happen in the end?"

Shi Hao said: "The longer it lasts, the more beneficial it will be for the Huang Tian army. The barbarian army is attacking, and the Huang Tian army is defending. The attacking side always consumes more, this is one of them.

"The barbarian army came from the north to fight in other places. Huang Tianjun and the martial arts people and gang sects who supported Huang Tianjun are basically locals from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, fighting to protect their homeland. They are more resilient and hold back the barbarian army. Longer, stronger confidence, this is the second.

"With these two points, it will be beneficial to Huang Tianjun if it lasts for a long time!"

Bai Yao smiled and said: "I don't know if it's my little brother's illusion. When Xiongtai was in the restaurant just now, he was somewhat uneasy. After going up the mountain, he waited and watched for a while, and he was a little calm. Now wandering over here, Xiongtai seems to be in a good mood.

"Could it be because this battle is indistinguishable for a while, and blocking the first wave of the barbarian army is especially crucial. Now that the battle is stalemate, although the outcome is unpredictable, the situation is slowly turning in favor of the Huang Tian army?"

Chapter 379

Shi Hao smiled and said, "Brother Bai has the ability to observe people. I don't think there is any difference in me from the beginning to the end. How can I let Brother Bai see whether I am in a good or bad mood?"

Bai Yao said: "Little brother is making random guesses, if you say something wrong, I will make you laugh at me!"

Shi Hao said: "Brother Bai is not mistaken!"

Unknowingly, it was getting late, and some barbarian troops had begun to be forced to shrink.

Shi Hao said: "There are many rivers and forests in this area. At night, it is conducive to the sneak attack of the people in the martial arts. The barbarian army's heroic moves and iron cavalry are also difficult to use. We can only narrow the battle line and slowly retreat to the main formation. Huang Tianjun stabilized his position. , You can further rely on mountains and rivers to form camps.

"The two sides are exhausted from the fierce battle today, and it may be difficult to tell the winner tomorrow. It seems that the barbarian army will not be able to break through in the Wusong River area."

Looking at the sky, the setting sun was slowly setting towards the top of the mountain, and the orange light was spreading over their bodies.Shi Hao turned over in the air and darted into the forest, not long after, he caught two hares.

He said with a smile: "There is nothing left and right, brother Bai, do you want to try something new on this mountain with me? I am confident in my craftsmanship, and it is not bad."

Bai Yao happily said: "That's exactly what I mean!"

Immediately, Shi Hao found a shelter from the wind and lit a bonfire.He found a small stream, skinned and gutted it, and split logs with ease to make a frame.

He brought some seasoning salt and other seasonings with him, and the two hares were strung together on straightened branches, turned over the campfire, caught the fat with a self-sharpening wooden plate, and smeared it on the rabbit meat again.

As the sun slowly descended, the hills became dark and fragrant.After roasting, Shi Hao cut open the rabbit meat with a small knife and served it to Bai Yao on a wooden plate. Bai Yao was not too polite, and used his slender fingers to pick up the meat slices, eating with relish.

Bai Yao smiled and said: "Brother is really good, he seems to know everything, and is good at everything."

Shi Hao said: "It's nothing more than roasting some mountain delicacies, it's not surprising."

Bai Yao said: "Although it is wild game, in Xiongtai's hands, the fishy smell is completely gone, and it is tender and tender. Whether it is knife work or fire, it is perfectly mastered. From this alone, you can know that Xiongtai is made of Danshi. The way of refining must also be the innate talent. When grilling just now, lightly pick it with your fingers, and the fire will penetrate into the belly of the rabbit.

"Anyone who is good at alchemy can use Samadhi Fire, but there are very few who can use it to such a superb level."

Shi Hao said: "Brother Bai really has a good eye, and he can't hide anything from you."

The two chatted while eating wild game.Afterwards, wandering in the mountains, the moon rises, and the mountains are pure and clean.

Looking down the mountain, the barbarian army was indeed forced to retreat, the Huang Tian army was resting in the high camp, and some soldiers were busy repairing the camp that was destroyed by catapults during the day.

The chaotic and bloody scene during the day was like a sea of ​​people all over the mountains and plains, but at this moment, it seemed to be an illusion that was blowing away with the wind.

The night covered most of the ugliness, coupled with the bright moonlight, looking from a height, the scene seemed serene and peaceful.

They wandered to a cliff and looked at Taihu Lake. The west side of Taihu Lake is full of hills, but the east side is flat land. Looking down from a high place, the river is like a stream.

Bai Yao sighed and said: "If there were no iron cavalry trampling on and the flames spreading, it would have been a great river and mountain. What a pity! What a pity! I don't know when the people will be able to truly enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world?"

Shi Hao shook his head and said: "Even if we stop the war and stop the war, the people's lives will be miserable. Landlords invade and rich families suppress, after all, there is no end to it. It can only be said that barbarian bullying, powerful oppression, and bureaucratic oppression, the three A big mountain, if you move one, it will be one."

Turning to look at Bai Yao, he said, "The night is getting dark, I don't know where Brother Bai is going?"

Bai Yao thought for a while, and said: "My little brother came here from the Huaishui River, and wanted to meet that 'Qianlong', but he was satisfied when he didn't see Qianlong. There are still some important matters on the north bank of the Changhe River, so let’s go north first.”

Shi Hao smiled and said, "I'm also going to Kuaiji City. It's a blessing to see Brother Bai today. We may meet again someday."

Bai Yao looked at him, fixed his eyes and said: "Brother, is it really not 'Qianlong' Shi Chongyun?"

Shi Hao looked at him instead, and said, "Brother Bai is really named Yao?"

Bai Yao smiled lightly, under the moonlight, that smile seemed to be in full bloom.He raised his hand, arched slightly, and said: "There will be fate in the future, and I will reunite with Xiongtai again."

Bai Yao turned around and jumped out of the cliff. The cliff was extremely high, but the slender figure floated away like flying on the moon.Not long after, colorful flowers rolled up and whistled with the night wind.
