It was approaching the time when the Tang army was about to set out.
Bai Gui got the news about Zongshenguan from Chang'an, then went to Shushan, and exchanged it for the Chixue Liuzhu Pill from Chang Hao, the leader of Shushan.
"The living dead, flesh and bones."
"For ordinary people, and for Taoists, this is the treasure pill for cultivating one's life."
He opened the medicine bottle containing the elixir, scraped some of the elixir powder, and after swallowing it, he thought to himself.
The key to cultivating the holy fetus is to cultivate one's nature.
However, the inner elixir method focuses on the cultivation of both nature and life. It is impossible to cultivate nature without cultivating life. In Bai Gui's view, cultivating nature is to understand the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, just like the debate between six qi, three yang and three yin. Qi, strengthen the soul.
For example, the Zhonglu Taoist school says that nature is spirit, the spirit is gathered into spirit, and the spirit is combined into Taoism to return the elixir and then transcend.
Cultivation of one's life means to strengthen one's body and build a body that can hold the soul, or to build a good cauldron, to build one's life inside and to create a golden elixir.
…
In Jiannan Road there are Jiedu envoys from eastern Sichuan and western Sichuan.
Each sent 20,000 troops.
A total of 40,000 troops, accompanied by more than 30,000 subordinates, known as one hundred thousand, went south to attack the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Following the Tang army, there were also monks from various sects in Sichuan.
Nanzhao was in panic due to the Yue Worship Cult at home, and did not know that a large army was approaching from outside. Therefore, the Tang army caught Nanzhao off guard. They won consecutive battles and quickly approached Taihe City, the capital of Nanzhao.
During this period, Nanzhao used voodoo, miasma and other witchcraft to stop the Tang army. However, Bai Gui had already been fully prepared. The witchcraft was resolved with Taoist techniques from various schools. As for some poison techniques, he also had the knowledge of modern medicine. help.
Even though the lives of some Tang troops could not be saved, the casualty ratio was extremely low.
A big victory was achieved.
…
Nanzhao Kingdom, Royal Palace.
Hundreds of officials forced the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is a monster!"
"Didn't you hear what the Tang army said outside the city? Kill the demons! If we don't hand over the queen, our country, Nanzhao, will probably be destroyed."
"I hope the king will abandon the queen for the sake of the people of Nanzhao!"
A minister came out, holding a wat tablet, and shouted loudly.
"right!"
"Your Majesty!"
"As long as the queen is handed over, the Tang army will no longer have a reason to send troops. When the time comes, we will cede territory, pay compensation, and bribe the Tang army's commander. The Tang army will definitely retreat, otherwise they will be an unjust army."
Another minister came out and said hurriedly.
The ministers of Nanzhao were all afraid.
Once the Tang army entered the city.
The soldiers passed like a grate!
Whether their wealth will be protected by then is another matter, but they are afraid that their lives will not be protected either.
"Please make your decision, Your Majesty!"
"Please make your decision, Your Majesty!"
"Handing over the queen will ensure the peace of the country. This is a blessing for all people!"
One by one, ministers stood up.
Although they also knew that if the queen was handed over, the Tang army would not necessarily retreat.
But what if?
What if the Tang army retreats? !
Anyway, the ones handed over were not their wives and daughters, but the queen of King Nanzhao.
For them, the deal is doable.
"The widow..."
"The queen is the symbol of a country. If we hand over the queen, how can we, Nanzhao, have any dignity in the future?"
"After a hundred years, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors?"
King Nanzhao looked hesitant and couldn't bear to say.
It's not like he couldn't understand the value of it. Compared with the great cause of the country, the queen really was nothing.
But who knows... whether the Tang army will retreat because of this.
Based on his reputation, the head coach of the Tang Army does not look like a lecher.
If he didn't withdraw his troops, he would lose his wife and lose his troops.
"Report!"
The ordering soldiers galloped all the way from outside the hall and half-knelt in the main hall.
"If you have any military information, report it immediately!"
King Nanzhao breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly.
"Report to your Majesty."
"The Tang army said that they came here to kill the snake demon this time to relieve the crisis of the people in the world. If the snake demon of Nanzhao is handed over, the Tang army will retreat."
The messenger hesitated for a while and then said.
He also knew that the snake demon currently rumored in Nanzhao Kingdom was the queen.
Handing over the queen... would be a great shame for Nanzhao Kingdom, especially for King Nanzhao.
"good!"
"The Tang Dynasty is a country above our country, Nanzhao. Now there is a snake demon causing trouble in our country, Nanzhao. The Tang Dynasty has come all the way to solve the problems of our country, Nanzhao and all its people..."
"Xiao Wang burst into tears of gratitude."
King Nanzhao stood up, his face turned green and red, walked a few steps and said.
Now that he has received Tang Jun's guarantee, he can only do the act of breaking his arm.
If the snake demon is not dealt with, the country will not survive, the city of Taihe will be destroyed, and he, the king, and the queen will still die. Now that I have handed over the queen, I might be lucky enough to survive.
"Since the king has made his decision, I will go to the Tang Army camp."
The queen walked out from behind the tent, gritting her teeth, her almond-shaped eyes showing a hint of resentment and aggrievedness, and followed several maids out of the palace.
Half an hour later.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Tang Army said that the queen is not a snake demon."
"The snake demon has someone else..."
"Please also ask the king to hand over the princess, otherwise the city will be attacked as soon as noon passes, and by then not a single blade of grass will grow in Taihe City!"
The messenger said.
"What?"
"The queen is not a snake demon?"
"The queen is not a snake demon? So is the princess a snake demon?"
"It's too much!"
King Nanzhao looked ugly.
He didn't expect that the great Tang Dynasty would go back on its word.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the country..."
Several ministers stepped out to persuade him.
"Forget it, forget it."
"Since the queen has been handed over, the princess is the only one left. It doesn't matter if the princess is handed over."
"It's just a pity that the princess is still in her infancy..."
The King of Nanzhao sighed and sat heavily on the throne, his body weak.
Another half hour later.
"Your Majesty."
"The Tang army has found out that the queen and the princess are not snake monsters, but descendants of Nuwa. The snake monster has someone else, the Moon Worship Sect Leader. Please hand over the Moon Worship Sect Leader, otherwise we will send troops to attack the city as soon as the Shen time comes. At that time..."
The messenger hesitated.
"At that time what?"
An official shouted.
"At that time... the Tang army commander will punish you for teasing him twice!"
The messenger was frightened and replied immediately.
"The crime of teasing twice?"
The King of Nanzhao was startled. He understood something vaguely, but now that the queen and the princess had been offered, the Moon Worshiping Cult Master was not a big deal. It would not be a big deal to offer the Moon Worshiping Cult Master, who had nothing to do with him anyway.
In comparison, he would rather offer the Moon Worshiping Cult Master early.
If the Moon Worshiping Cult Master had not secretly instigated the people to spread the rumor that the queen was a snake demon, the Tang army would not have sent troops to Nanzhao.
"Send the Moon Worshiping Cult Master to the palace for an audience."
He said.
The Moon Worshiping Cult Master was the high priest of the Black Miao tribe and one of the ministers of Nanzhao.
"You don't need to invite me, Your Majesty."
"This Cult Master is already here..."
A voice came from outside the palace.
As soon as I heard it.
I saw the Moon Worshiping Cult Master in a black robe had already arrived in the palace.
Just seven or eight steps in front of the King of Nanzhao.
"You... what are you going to do?"
The King of Nanzhao was terrified and retreated again and again.
He had long known that the Moon Worshipping Sect Leader had ill intentions, but now that the minister was strong and the master was weak, he could only question him, and swallowed the word "regicide" in his stomach, not daring to speak it out.
Otherwise, if he approached the king in person without being summoned, he would already be suspected of regicide.
"Since the Tang army wants the king to hand over this leader, then this leader will go to the camp alone..."
"Let them know... what is the truth of heaven and earth!"
The Moon Worshipping Sect Leader glanced at the King of Nanzhao and said lightly.
