Chapter 1501 Wearing the Skin of the Ancestor of Corpse Village, and Then Going Down the Evil Mirror
The sixtieth attack on the inner city of the ancient city failed.
It has been two and a half years since Jinan and his men were trapped in the small underworld.
Because they lacked the great strength of the old marquis, their progress in advancing the Wuwang Mansion has not been fast, and they have been hovering outside the God Pavilion where the tomb of the Wuwang's daughter is located and unable to rush in.
If they are not afraid of death, they can also learn from the old marquis, forcefully attack the God Pavilion and the tomb of the Wuwang's daughter, and forcefully search for clues, but the ending will certainly not be much better than that of the old marquis.
Fortunately, after advancing so many times, as he became more and more familiar with the attack rhythm of the Wuwang, Jinan finally found a flaw in the Wuwang and extended the time by three more breaths.
With the help of these three breaths, he was able to rush into the God Pavilion where the tomb was located, and was able to observe more details in the God Pavilion and the tomb.
Don't look at the three breaths of time.
The price is that Jinan was injured at the cost of rushing into the God Pavilion during these several times of advancing the Wuwang Mansion.
True Man Qingxi handed over a healing pill, and personally passed the Dao Qi to Jinan to speed up recovery, but was stopped by Jinan.
"We don't know how long we will be trapped here. Pills are precious now. Master Qingxi doesn't need to waste them on my minor injury. I have thick skin and flesh, and this injury will heal quickly." Jin'an wanted to refuse Master Qingxi's kindness, but Master Qingxi insisted on sending the pill to Jin'an's mouth. Although she didn't say anything, she kept looking at Jin'an and wanted to see Jin'an swallow the pill with her own eyes.
With the persuasion of Taoist Zhanmu and Taoist Qingfeng, Jin'an accepted Master Qingxi's kindness and swallowed the pill.
Only after seeing Jin'an take the healing medicine with his own eyes did Master Qingxi move his eyes away.
This time the attack failed again. Except for the old King Ling who came to the Tianshi Mansion to show concern and repeat a few polite words, everyone else had numb eyes and no waves in their hearts, because they had known that this would be the result.
Unless Jin'an can make significant progress at the tomb of the King Wu's daughter, it will cause waves in the hearts of these people.
This attack on the ancient inner city failed, and everyone returned to the gathering place outside the city to rest and come back to challenge day after day in five or six days.
As soon as they returned to the gathering place outside the city, the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue suddenly brought a major news: "Martial Arts Corpse Immortal, there is news from the Yang world that has been brought to the small underworld. The Prairie Khanate has fallen, and the Kangding Kingdom and the Rakshasa Kingdom have openly formed an alliance to jointly attack the Prairie Khanate!"
When the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue spoke, the shared spiritual eye vision was the vision of the Yujing Jinque Elder who stayed at the passage.
Lightning-struck wood, nailed dragon stakes, and the passage.
The Yujing Jinque Elder spread out the letter brought in from the Yang world, which roughly described the process.
The Kangding Kingdom's army pressed on several major borders, and the Prairie Khanate was exhausted from defense and missed the opportunity to reserve supplies for the winter. In addition, this year's winter came exceptionally early and was exceptionally cold. Blizzards raged in the north, causing disasters, and large numbers of cattle, horses, and sheep froze to death. Large numbers of grassland herders also froze to death. Even the horseback warriors who gathered outside the border to confront the Kangding Kingdom froze to death, and the vitality of the Prairie Khanate was severely damaged.
In order to boost morale, the Steppe Khanate had to forcefully attack Kangding, even though it knew it was at a disadvantage, in order to replenish supplies by looting the border towns of Kangding as before.
But just as the Steppe Khanate launched an offensive against the Kangding Pass, a firearms cavalry battalion from Kangding, which had taken a detour from the Western Regions and ambushed in the depths of the northern desert, stabbed directly into the heart of the Steppe Khanate like a sharp knife and attacked the empty rear of the defense.
At this time, the Rakshasa Kingdom, which bordered the Steppe Khanate, also suddenly crossed the vast snow-capped mountains and swept across the territory of the Steppe Khanate. As a result, most of the troops of the Steppe Khanate were held back by Kangding and Rakshasa, unable to return to the capital in the rear. The surprise troops of Kangding, which had been ambushed in advance, were like entering an unmanned area, and the capital of the Steppe Khanate was about to be breached.
Although there were not many details mentioned in the intelligence in the letter, and it did not mention whether the capital of the Steppe Khanate was finally breached, just based on these few details in the letter, it was enough to make everyone's numb minds quiet and numb, as if they were struck by an electric current, and their scalps were numb.
The Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue exclaimed in astonishment: "Martial Arts Corpse Immortal, you really got it right. The Kangding Kingdom's army is pressing on several major fortresses on the border. It is a deception tactic. The real killer is the firearms cavalry battalion that has quietly ambushed in the depths of the desert in advance!"
Hmm?
The elders of Yujing Jinque, who had completely recovered from the shock brought by this information, hurriedly asked what was going on.
The Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue glanced at Jin'an and saw that Jin'an looked calm and had no intention of stopping him. So it roughly narrated Jin'an's analysis of the situation of the Three Kingdoms with the senior officials of the Criminal Investigation Department and the intention behind Kangding Kingdom's sudden army pressing on the border.
After listening to the analysis, everyone was surprised and looked up at Jin'an in surprise. They didn't expect Jin'an to have such a profound art of military strategy.
You must know that from ancient times to the present, military books are rarely circulated outside. Although there are many folk books, there are many sage poems and essays that are widely circulated, but military books are strictly prohibited from circulation.
Unexpectedly, Jin'an is not only gifted in cultivation and has spiritual roots, but also a great talent in military strategy. For a while, many people looked at him with a sidelong glance.
Taoist Qingfeng sighed: "After the enlightenment of little Taoist friend Jin'an, I suddenly understood. This move of chess layout is indeed high-level, with the magic of a surprise attack to determine the outcome."
"Whether the grassland Khanate attacks our border towns or not, their defeat is doomed. If they launch an attack, the rear will be empty, and the surprise attack will arrive at the capital. If they do not launch an attack, countless soldiers and horses will freeze to death, and they will be defeated without a fight. We won a great victory without losing a single soldier."
After hearing this, the elders of Yujing Jinque thought about the details and nodded in agreement. They finally understood why Emperor Kang Zhao and King Zunyi pressed their troops to the border, always showing a tense feeling of an imminent war, but still delayed their troops.
What a great military strategy of waiting for the enemy to tire out. The word "delay" directly dragged the elite troops of the grassland Khanate to death at the border.
Regardless of whether the grassland Khanate finally attacked or not, it had already fallen into the trap set by the two countries.
"If I remember correctly, there are several great witches in the grassland Khanate. This time there is a danger of national destruction. Why don't several great witches intervene?" Taoist Zhanmu frowned.
This is also the biggest mystery.
The black witch cult is prevalent among the grassland nomads. The realms are spiritual witch, great witch, and great witch, which correspond to the three realms of Qigong, Yuanshen Out of the Body, and Day Traveling and Controlling Objects.
Above the Great Witch Lord of the Prairie Khanate, there are also some pseudo-fourth realm masters who have lived long enough. Even the Tianzhu Kingdom can send two pseudo-fourth realm masters to Kangding Kingdom this time. The number of masters in the Prairie Khanate will not be less than that of Tianzhu.
The information on the letter is too little, and many details are not mentioned.
Or, it is because the incident happened suddenly, and the march was kept secret, so many intelligences were only recently transmitted to the capital.
Even this information, which was transmitted from the border to the capital, is no longer the latest front-line war report. Speed is the essence of war, and the changes on the battlefield are changing rapidly. Maybe while they are discussing, the capital of the Prairie Khanate has been broken by the firearms cavalry battalion.
While thinking, everyone looked at the Luosha people who were living with the Tianshi Mansion.
Because they have the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Lord, they get the information first, and the Tianshi Mansion and Luosha Kingdom have not responded yet.
But the latest information will be obtained in the next few days.
Because the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue said that he saw the people left behind by the Tianshi Mansion at the entrance had released several paper cranes to deliver messages, which turned into several streams of light and rushed straight here.
Even though there were thousands of questions in their hearts, the few spies left by the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue at the passage were their hidden chess pieces for the backhand, and they could not be easily exposed. The people in Yujing Jinque could only pretend that they knew nothing.
The few spiritual eyes left by the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue at the passage were as important to everyone as the hidden chess pieces of the surprise troops ambushed in the depths of the desert, which could determine the outcome at a critical moment, so they did not want to be easily exposed unless it was absolutely necessary.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Jin An with envy, and then asked the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue about the whereabouts of its several Taoist friends in the underworld again.
As expected.
During the few days when everyone was recuperating, the paper crane sent by the Tianshi Mansion delivered a message. One of the spiritual lights passed through many obstacles, and a yellow talisman folded paper crane that was decayed by the Yin Qi and full of holes fell into the hands of the old King Ling.
Old King Ling spread out the talisman paper crane, and after reading the information, his face changed. He immediately found several people from Luosha Country, and then entered the old marquis's tent. I don't know what they were discussing.
At this time, Yujing Jinque pretended to have received a message from the outside world, and there was a tense atmosphere of hurrying and something bad was going to happen.
The pseudo-fourth realm of Luosha Country must be clear about the details of the two countries' layout this time, and the core high-level old marquis and old King Ling of Tianshi Mansion, who were closest to the masters of Luosha Country and colluded with them, must have known some details in advance. I don't know if their surprise was deliberately done for outsiders.
Tianshi Mansion and Luosha Country are performing for others, and Yujing Jinque and Wuzang Taoist Temple are also performing for the former. The two sides have their own merits and are temporarily indistinguishable.
It didn't take too long, just a cup of tea, and Tianshi Mansion sent someone to invite everyone to the old marquis' tent to discuss.
The old marquis has been staying at home since his hair turned white overnight. This is the first time I have seen the old marquis again after half a year. The old marquis, who is cursed and causal, is tortured all the time, and his blood and blood are more withered. When we meet again today, he looks older than last time, and there is a dead air on his body every moment.
It is not surprising that the Tianshi Mansion wants to discuss the three-country war in the world.
Kangding and Luosha countries in the world have officially announced their alliance and jointly declared war on the grassland Khanate. The old marquis hopes that in the underworld, everyone can put aside their prejudices and form an alliance with each other in a frank manner, so as to solve the problems in the ancient city as soon as possible, so as to return to the world as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of the people of various religions.
And so on.
The old marquis' words sounded good, but in fact, his body could not wait any longer. At present, the most urgent thing to solve the curse on his body and return to the world to find the thousand-year-old corpse to refine the elixir of immortality is the old marquis.
The old marquis can't wait any longer, and he wants to use the righteousness between countries to put pressure on Jin'an.
Jin'an sneered in his heart about the alliance, and did not express his opinion. Taoist Qingfeng saw that the atmosphere in the tent became dull, so he eased the atmosphere and said: "We have also received messages about the war outside, and we know a little bit, but there is one thing we can't figure out, where are the great witches of the grassland Khanate, why don't they show up?"
Taoist Qingfeng asked the location of the masters of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
The burly man of the Rakshasa Kingdom wearing an iron bear mask said coldly under the mask: "Several bloodlines of the ancestors of the grassland Khanate have been active in our country. We spread rumors and found the burial place of their ancestors' bloodlines. Several of the largest tribes in the grassland Khanate are scrambling to find the tomb, claiming that they are the orthodox and the Khan of the grassland."
Rakshasa said it lightly, but no one present really believed this statement.
It is true that the grassland khanate is a tribal alliance, but it is obviously unrealistic for the largest tribes and the great witch to deceive these people with just a few rumors.
However, from the mouth of the Rakshasa master, at least one important clue was proved. The abnormal movement of the great witch of the grassland khanate is indeed related to these Rakshasa people.
Thinking of this, Taoist Zhanmu, Taoist Qingfeng and others all frowned.
The Rakshasa people's layout this time is so large and precise that even the great witch of the grassland khanate can be calculated. This kind of painstaking calculation is probably not a few years of layout.
The great witch is quick-witted and has a sharp mind. Even the great witch is calculated. It is not an exaggeration to say that it takes one or two generations to lay out.
The Indians were also present. The incarnation of King Hali and the envoy of Surya were surprised to hear that these Rakshasa people had such a deep calculation.
Regarding the alliance between Wuzang Taoist Temple and Luosha Kingdom, Jinan did not express his opinion. The old marquis did not urge Jinan, but asked Jinan to think carefully about the national justice after returning.
The old marquis even brought up the national justice, but Jinan remained unmoved, because he also had his own calculations.
After leaving the old marquis's tent and returning to the Yujing Jinque camp, Jinan found Qingxi Zhenren and conspired with him about his next plan.
Jinan went straight to the point and took out a neatly folded human skin bag from the human stomach, which was the skin bag of the ancestor of the Corpse Carrying Village.
Qingxi Zhenren's eyes were cold and calm, as if he had expected this.
Jin An did not intend to hide it from Master Qingxi, and directly told him his plan: "I broke into the divine pavilion where the tomb of the daughter of King Wu is located several times, and found some clues, but I am not sure yet."
"So I plan to go back to the Niejingtai to see if I can use the skin of the ancestor of the Corpse Carrying Village to carry out the bronze coffin to verify my idea."
"This trip back to the Niejingtai is dangerous and unpredictable. I don't know how long it will take to come back. I hope Master Qingxi can help me, so that the people in the Tianshi Mansion will not be suspicious of me."
Master Qingxi nodded without thinking and agreed: "Okay."
Jin An flipped his palm and took out a red lead-mercury holy fetus from the human stomach this time. It was the Nine-Turn Chongyang Holy Fetus with the heaviest yang fire among the six lead-mercury holy fetuses.
"Before I leave this Nine-turn Chongyang Holy Embryo next to True Man Qingxi to imitate my martial arts immortal aura. Even if I don't come back for a long time, the people from Tianshi Mansion or Luosha Country will not find any flaws unless they observe closely."
"Everything is up to True Man Qingxi."
After saying that, Jin An put on the skin of the ancestor of the Corpse Carrying Village, and then performed the seventh transformation of the Yin Walking Technique, chasing the spiritual eye aura left by the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue in the Evil Mirror Platform, and walked through the Evil Mirror Platform again.
"Be careful along the way..."
"I will always wait for you to return..."
The ethereal voice of True Man Qingxi came to Jin An's ears, and the voice quickly moved away, blurring and hazy until it could no longer be heard.
