Chapter 235 The Support of the Taoism
The Wangshan Instant Tower was half-closed, and Luanjingshan was harboring evil intentions. Except for these two families, Yang Qingyin went through the Six Great Traditions, persuading, begging, and scolding, and used all kinds of tactics, but received very few responses. . ..
"Everyone gives up on Pangshan today, and someone will give up on you tomorrow." Yang Qingyin would say this everywhere she went.
"Tomorrow? Someone has given up on us today. Hongshan has been attacked. Look, look in the distance. Those are the corpses left by the demon clan. But we still have to keep the instantaneous platform open. Isn't this called assistance?" Hongshan Taoism is full of resentment.
"Stop making trouble, listen to me and go to Luanjing Mountain to find your parents..." A Taoist named Yang from Wandishan Taoism taught her a lesson as an elder.
"It's not that we gave up on Pangshan, it's that Pangshan refused to act in concert with us." Asan Taoism received her politely, but refused very simply.
"As far as I know, Grandmaster Pangshan and a large number of his disciples are currently fighting against the Kraken in Luanjing Mountain with the various avenues, so what do you mean by 'giving up Pangshan'?" Qishan Taoism deliberately pretended not to know about the Grandmaster. Tower crisis.
"The situation in Wangshan is unknown. The demon-suppressing seeds may fail at any time. We can feel it because the Demon-Batting Cave vibrates every day. This is an ominous sign..." Xingshan Taoism is worried and does not care about the affairs of other Taoisms at all.
High-level Taoist priests will not be persuaded by others, especially by an inhaled Taoist priest. In the Taoist concept, the difference in cultivation realm is also a gap in vision. Yang Qingyin is concerned about the crisis at hand. The masters and leaders see What comes is what will happen decades or centuries in the future.
Yang Qingyin had no choice but to turn to the low-level Taoist priest for help. She could not think of anything more to say, just a simple sentence, "Slay the demons and destroy the demons. Do you want to go to Duanliu City?"
She was once regarded as a lunatic, and another Yang family elder even seriously offered to check whether she was possessed by a demon.
Still not many people responded, even though Taoism did not have strict control over its disciples. All rules must be followed by the individual consciously, but running out to participate in the war without the permission of the Grandmaster or the Chief still seems too rebellious.
Yang Qingyin was almost desperate, and even wanted to go to Yashan for help again, and promised to have a mortal relationship with Shen Jiyi, as long as he would support Duanliu City, but she suspected that this move was useless, and what Shen Jiyi wanted was her willingness , will never agree to make a deal.
As a result, when she was transiting the Hongshan Taoist tradition, she found a group of Taoist priests waiting for her.
"Are you the Pangshan Taoist priest who goes around looking for people to slay demons?" someone asked.
"It's me.
"Yang Qingyin was extremely surprised. Because she only knew a few of them.
"Okay, let's go with you."
In this way, Yang Qingyin set off with more than 40 Taoist priests. They traveled for three days without stopping to rest, and finally returned to Duanliu City one day early.
"When will the fight start?" Yang Qingyin asked loudly as soon as she saw Mu Xingqiu.
"Tomorrow." Mu Xingqiu also replied loudly. Seeing the Taoist priests flying in one after another, a big stone finally fell to his heart, "Welcome to Duanliu City!"
Yang Qingyin looked to the west for a moment. He said to the Taoist priests following him: "Look, that's the Mountain of Demonic Fire. The one that destroyed the Ancestor Peak is hundreds of times bigger than this one."
A total of forty-three Taoist priests came to support, including a Wangshan Taoist priest. He was buying weapons-refining materials at Qishan, but when he wanted to look back at the mountain, the instant platform was closed. The only one missing was Luan Jingshan.
All Taoist priests are in the realm of inhalation, level three or above, and can fly with weapons. He was very curious about Duanliu City and Mu Xingqiu, looked at him rudely, and then looked around. Like a group of children who have never seen the world.
They are indeed not too old, ranging from seventeen or eighteen to twenty-four or five years old. Many of them are obviously Taoist disciples. It is probably the first time they have left Taoism and entered a city where ordinary people live.
The Taoist priests received a warm welcome in the military camp. Casual cultivators and soldiers were crowded together, with three floors inside and three floors outside. The streets outside the camp were also full of people. This made the Taoist priests who were accustomed to being quiet extremely uncomfortable.
Xin Youtao was especially overjoyed and immediately arranged accommodation for everyone. There were not so many houses, so each person was assigned a tent. These tents were blessed with talismans and looked ordinary on the outside, but they were spacious and very soundproof on the inside. They basically met the needs of Taoist priests from all sects. .
The princess sent someone over to thank the Taoist priests for their help, but she did not show up. She returned to the army camp outside the city early in the morning and continued to discuss the war with Taifu Xin and others.
All the Taoist priests gathered in the main hall, and no one was talking nonsense. Several Five Elements disciples came forward to arrange the battle formation and everyone's tasks. In previous wars, Taoist priests were the main attackers, and human soldiers cooperated on the ground. However, this time they were advancing hand in hand, so the tactics had to be slightly adjusted.
Mu Xingqiu introduced the trap tactics used to deal with the Demon Fire Mountain. Many people offered to help, so they all followed Shen Hao.
There was some confusion in the main hall. Yang Qingyin called Mu Xingqiu aside and asked in a low voice: "How do you plan to dig this big hole?"
Yang Qingyin was startled at first, then nodded with a smile, "I'm not here, do you really dare to think that Zuo Liuying is willing to lend it out?"
"Anyway, Lan Qizhang was lent to me and I said it must be returned." Mu Xingqiu smiled and winked at Yang Qingyin. Let's not talk about it for now. I especially want to know why these people are here. ? "Mu Xingqiu was really puzzled. Since he couldn't feel the emotions of the Taoist priests, he could only guess, but he couldn't think of a particularly reasonable reason.
Yang Qingyin did not answer directly, but waved to a Taoist priest, "Yang Qingyuan, come here!"
Yang Qingyuan is a Taoist priest from Qishan. He once met Mu Xingqiu and others in Zhaoshan. He came over after hearing the call and exchanged greetings with Mu Xingqiu.
Yang Qingyin said in a louder voice: "Mu Xingqiu wants to know why everyone came to join the war. You go first."
Yang Qingyuan smiled shyly, "My heart is filled with the passion for fighting, which has interfered with my practice. The head monk told me that this is the 'heart fire calamity'. I can either eliminate it by thinking about it, or really participate in the battle and understand the illusion of passion. I decided to use the latter method, which seems to be simpler. There are several wars at the moment. I chose Duanliu City because my realm is too low and I have no place to use my skills in other places."
There are many kinds of Taoist calamities. Not every Taoist has to experience all of them. Mu Xingqiu has heard of the heart fire calamity. Ordinary people would find it incredible to hear such a reason to join the war because of the calamity. As a Taoist priest, Mu Xingqiu certainly thinks this reason is more sufficient.
"Are they all going through the Heart Fire Tribulation?"
"Most of them."
A few people were persuaded by Yang Qingyin, and a few others came because of Mu Xingqiu, "I heard that you practice the art of defying the heavens, and we are the same, so we came to help."
There are not many Taoists who practice the art of defying the heavens, and their most obvious feature is that there are no high-level Taoists to guide and supervise them. It is more difficult to practice, and the actions are freer.
Ordinary people don't know much about the realm of Taoists. They only look at the number. There were only more than ten Taoists in Duanliu City, and suddenly there were forty-three more, which greatly boosted the confidence of the soldiers and civilians in the city.
Only a few people knew that the situation of the war did not improve, but worse.
At noon that day, Mu Xingqiu was summoned to the military camp outside the city. The commander-in-chief Xin Taifu personally announced him as the former general, and tomorrow morning, he would rush to the front of the Xijie** team.
Taifu Xin obviously disagreed with this appointment, and his expression was more serious than usual. When the soldiers of the whole army unexpectedly cheered too long, his face turned gloomy, without any concealment.
These soldiers who came to support had already heard about General Mu's deeds, and the admiration of the defenders of Duanliu City was successfully transferred to the newcomer.
Mu Xingqiu quietly used illusion to make this admiration rise a little more. If there is no advantage in military strength, morale must be compensated.
Back to the central army tent, bad news came one after another.
"The number of demon soldiers has doubled! It has reached 20,000." The talisman master who was responsible for monitoring the enemy situation was trembling in his voice. "There are at least 3,000 cavalry, half of which are wolf cavalry and half of which are bear cavalry."
"So many?" Several generals exclaimed in unison.
Master Xin sat on the commander's seat and leaned over to Mu Xingqiu and said, "You haven't seen wolf cavalry and bear cavalry yet, right? Don't imagine them as ordinary wolves and bears. Those guys are as tall as military horses, or even bigger, with sharp teeth. They can participate in battles themselves, not just mounts. I don't know how many soldiers died in their mouths. Wolf cavalry is faster, and bear cavalry is stronger. They are both difficult to deal with."
"Thank you for your reminder, Master." Mu Xingqiu could feel the other party's deep hostility. This was the consequence of interfering with a person's emotions. After Master Xin regretted his weak will, he hated this Taoist priest Pangshan even more.
"The enemy is very strong. We can only work harder. The battlefield situation changes rapidly. Only those who persevere to the end are the winners." Mu Xingqiu continued to speak while standing in the middle of the generals. He was surrounded by a group of old men, the youngest of whom was in his forties. "This is a life-and-death battle with no way back. Even if the enemy is a hundred times stronger, we can only face it. I don't want to die, and I think everyone here doesn't want to die either. The thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians outside don't want to die either. But sometimes, we have to use death to stop death."
Teacher Xin narrowed his eyes and said nothing. Fu Jun coughed twice and said with a smile: "Master Mu, no, no, General Mu is right. The ambition of the demon tribe is not just to annex Xijie Kingdom. They want the whole world. If they don't fight tomorrow, they will fight sooner or later. Let Xijie Kingdom set an example for the other vassal states."
A general asked in a low voice: "Are the reinforcements of several major vassal states really just watching the battle and not participating in it?"
The princess sat next to the commander's seat and said at this time: "Someone has to start everything. If Xijie Kingdom wins, they will have the courage to join the war."
The generals bowed their heads and said nothing. What Xijie Kingdom needs most is help tomorrow, not later.
"It must be okay to use traps to fight the Demon Fire Mountain?" Fu Jun asked.
"The trap has been dug almost." Mu Xingqiu said confidently, "The demon soldiers rely heavily on this Demon Fire Mountain. Trapping it will greatly destroy the prestige of the demon soldiers. I think this is the basis for our victory."
The generals nodded and had some hope in their hearts.
Mu Xingqiu didn't tell anyone. He felt that no matter how big the pit was or how powerful the bronze tripod was, it couldn't stop the Demon Fire Mountain.
