Chapter 252 The General Trend of the World
Mu Xingqiu was just a little short of being able to break into someone else's mind for the first time, but he wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to identify images and sounds. When he finally found the trick, he just saw a blurry scene. Xunru broke free. ,ybd,
The Talisman Master knew very little about the long-interrupted mind-mind science. Qu Xungui was careless for a moment and fell into the hands of the inspiratory Taoist priest. He finally reacted quickly enough and used the Talisman to rescue himself. He couldn't help but feel a wave of fear in his heart.
But this was still an unexpected "gift". Mu Xingqiu had never learned the art of mind control. If it hadn't been for Qu Xungui's reckless attempt, he would never have realized it on his own. Although he didn't see any important memories, Mu Xingqiu However, Xingqiu had a more intuitive understanding of the workings of the mind, and began to be eager to use it in mental illusions.
But he had to get down to business first.
Mu Xingqiu went to the Dongjie Army Camp ten miles away, and Liu Ding still accompanied him. He was panicking along the way. He always wanted to ask what happened in the tent just now, but he didn't dare to ask. In his mind, Zuo Fuda The Talisman Master was a great man, but he suffered a loss at the hands of an inhalation Taoist priest. This shocked him and he began to doubt the idea that the triple crown corresponded to the inhalation realm of a Taoist priest.
"Tell me the truth, does Fu Lu Master not like Taoist priests very much?" Mu Xingqiu stopped and asked when he was approaching Dongjie's camp.
Liu Ding became even more panicked. He looked back at the guards who were following behind him and whispered: "Ordinary talisman masters respect Taoist priests. Great talisman masters... they are just jealous of the long lifespan of Taoist priests. In fact, most of them can live to be one hundred and fifty years old." At ten years old, he is already much older than ordinary people. It’s just that he’s afraid of comparing everything.”
Fu Lu is nominally one of the eighteen subjects of Taoism, but very few people in the Nine Dao Tradition study this subject. Mu Xingqiu doesn't know much about it. He only knows that most Fu Lu masters do not have Dao roots and inner elixirs. Xin Youtao Rather, he has been immersed in it since birth, so much so that he thinks there is nothing to explain about the talismans, so naturally he won't say much.
The night is already dark. The cold wind blew, seeming to carry snowflakes with it. Mu Xingqiu went to see the princess. Liu Ding hurriedly said goodbye. He was a little afraid of the cold. Some talismans and armor could ward off the cold, but they were not something that a triple-crowned talisman master could afford.
The princess's tent was as warm as spring, and those who had just walked in felt like their skins were melting. She was discussing tactics with a few generals. The veil was put back on her face.
Mu Xingqiu was not surprised to see Taifu Xin. His only feeling was that the princess was a little too impatient. She should wait for some time before appointing Taifu Xin.
Xin Youtao had been accompanying his sister, standing with the generals looking at the map on the table, waving to Mu Xingqiu, "Qi Wushang has indeed turned his army towards Duanliu City, eighty thousand demon soldiers, eighty thousand, at least tens of thousands Years ago. The demon clan has never assembled such a large army."
“This is why he must attack Duanliu City instead.
"Taifu Xin spoke. He currently does not have any official position. He is regarded as an advisor to the princess. At least on the surface, he has done his duty. He did not show any signs of dissatisfaction. "The demon army was temporarily put together by Qi Wushang. Conquering the Ancestor Peak won him honor and trust, but if he couldn't even conquer a small Broken Current City. His army was in danger of collapse at any time. "
"The demon army is going all out this time. I heard that there are still a large number of demon soldiers coming from the demon land in the north." A general interjected.
"It's not a place of monsters, it's a country of sacrifice." Taifu Xin is not the kind of general on the battlefield. However, being the commander-in-chief of the Purple Talisman Army of the Xijie Kingdom for decades was not for nothing, and he knew a lot about the general trend of the world. "There are a lot of half-demon in Qi Wushang's army, but only a few beast-demon. This is by no means a group of demons." The characteristics of all the tribes in the land are that only the country of Sheshen has so many half-demon.”
The Kingdom of Sheshen is located in the northwest of the mainland. To the east is the vast land of demons. To the south is across the forest from Pangshan, Xijie Kingdom, and Tu Kingdom. It is a prosperous half-demon country. It has surrendered to the Shengfu Dynasty a long time ago, but It is not one of the twelve vassal states.
"No way." Xin Youtao didn't quite believe it. "The Kingdom of Sheshen has always been honest, and don't they hate the beast monsters in the land of monsters? The two sides often go to war."
"The situation has changed." Taifu Xin said. He rolled up the top map and took out another volume and unfolded it. This was a simplified map of the general trend of the world. "Look, attack Pangshan and Xijie from the land of monsters." The country is not easy, there is only a narrow passage, Wandishan, Hongshan and Dongjie are facing the place where the monsters are, but they are rarely attacked by beast monsters or half-monsters who want to follow the group. A large number of monsters from the land entered Xijie Kingdom, so they could only bypass the Sheshen Kingdom. I carefully observed yesterday's battle. Some of the demon soldiers fought very methodically. They must have undergone long-term training. Only the Sheshen Kingdom can provide such professional monsters. Soldiers. The tribal soldiers in the Demon Land are brave, but unruly, just like those wolf cavalry."
Taifu Xin's analysis made sense. Mu Xingqiu nodded in agreement and went over to take a look. This was the first time he saw a map covering the entire world, and he saw many legendary place names. What surprised him slightly was that it turned out that the entire Shengfu Dynasty and the twelve vassal states together only occupied less than one-fifth of the mainland. The land of monsters in the northeast was the largest, accounting for almost three-thirds of the map. One percent of the country, which he thought was very small, was actually about the same size as the human world, except that there were many deserts and swamps marked on the map, and it was not as fertile as the Shengfu Dynasty and the Twelve Princes.
There is a small piece of land to the west of the Kingdom of Sacrifice. The label shows that it belongs to the Shengfu Dynasty, but it is not connected to any human country. It is an enclave. Further to the west is a peninsula extending from the mainland. There are no words on it, just paintings. tree.
Mu Xingqiu paid special attention to Wangshan Mountain. It was located due north of the land of monsters. It stood alone, surrounded by ice and snow, far away from the various traditions, and looked like an abandoned orphan.
"What benefits can the country of Sheshen bring to surrender to Qi Wushang?" Xin Youtao was puzzled, "Qi Wushang calls himself the Giant Demon King, so it is impossible for King Sheshen to become the emperor, right?"
"The Kingdom of Sacrifice is placing bets on both sides, hoping that when the stronger side wins, it can keep its position." The princess spoke, without coming to look at the map. "This is an issue that the Shengfu Dynasty should be concerned about. I want to know, if we How many troops and how long will it take to win the decisive battle and regain Xijie Kingdom?”
This is one of the important reasons why the princess still needs Taifu Xin. Some people can charge into battle, and some people are loyal, but there are some things she still needs from more experienced veterans.
Taifu Xin thought for a while, "At least 50,000 people. It will take half a year. It will take Pangshan Taoism to regain the lost territory first and block the route of the incoming monsters."
The princess pondered for a long time without saying anything, and nodded to indicate to the generals that they could leave.
Taifu Xin's body was lowered than other generals, and he tried his best to play the role of a veteran advisor with no desires or desires.
"The decisive battle hasn't even started yet. I've been thinking about regaining Xijie Kingdom. If I succeed, I'm far-sighted. If I don't succeed, I'm arrogant. Haha, everything is determined by the result." There was a smile in the princess's voice, which made Mu Xingqiu also As a family member like a younger brother, "Taoist Pangshan is sure to destroy the Mountain of Demonic Fire? It is the key to defeating the demonic soldiers, and it is also the reason why all armies participate in the war. Youtao refuses to tell me your detailed plan, but it seems very Have confidence."
"I am also confident. With the two leaders joining the battle, Pangshan Taoist priest's strength has increased more than a hundred times." Mu Xingqiu and others have already discussed it, and no one can reveal Lan Qizhang's plan to destroy the mountain, even if they are close to him. Neither can the people.
The princess did not pursue the question and changed the subject, "The people from the Holy Talisman Dynasty are here, faster than I expected."
"But it's still a step behind the princess." Mu Xingqiu said.
"But it's still very troublesome. The Huang Fu Army has taken away the command of the decisive battle. When the armies of the various vassal states arrive, they will only obey the orders of the Huang Fu Army, and the armies of the Xijie Kingdom and Dongjie Kingdom are no exception."
"In the Huang Fu Army, the status of the Fu Lu Master seems to be very high." Mu Xingqiu came to see the princess to ask about this matter. Qu Xungui received not only respect but also fear from the generals, which was similar to Xi Jie's. The subordinate status of the National Talisman Master is completely different.
"For the army of the Shengfu Dynasty, Master Fulu is the commander-in-chief. Qu Xungui is cunning and insidious. He is one of the most difficult people to deal with in the imperial capital." The princess looked at her younger brother, "That's why I want to send Youtao to the imperial capital. Jinglong Binhui, but everything is up to him. If he wants to be a Taoist priest, then he can be a Taoist priest."
Xin Youtao's face was slightly red. He already liked the life of a Taoist priest, but the responsibility of the royal family still had a place in his heart. "My idea is don't be too anxious. What is the state of inhalation? You have to reach the state of dining to be a talisman." Teacher’s business.”
"Qu Xungui has been to Yelin Town and I have met him."
"Eh? Is it him? I remember you mentioned it, ww.a.cm Qu Xungui was the great Talisman master of Zuo Fu more than 20 years ago. Is Yelin Town worthy of his personal intervention? I don't have any other meaning, but Yelin Town It is indeed quite small. After the residents there disappeared, Xijie Kingdom did not move any more people there. "
"Tell me, what's going on?" the princess asked.
Mu Xingqiu briefly said that it was Qu Xungui who came out of Yelin Town on a donkey and delivered the bad news to the nine teenagers. He remembered it clearly. Since condensing Qi into pills, his memory has become better. Strong, even some forgotten details came back to mind.
The princess thought for a while and said, "The Emperor Longbin will leave records of everything he does in Xijie Kingdom. Unfortunately, the capital has been destroyed and many records have been lost. However, I can ask, and there will always be someone who will remember..."
There was a sudden vibration on the ground. This was not unusual since Duanliu City was attacked by demon soldiers. The three of them waited quietly, and soon the vibration stopped.
Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao looked at each other and said at the same time: "A demon has entered the city."
