Chapter 362: Five Years of Wind and Rain, the Evil Spirit Swallows the Sun! (Two in One)

Song Changming was quite delighted to see the first successful talisman formation in the yard.

Only the entry-level spirit gathering formation had such an effect, and the effect would only be better when he gained more experience points.

At the same time, it was also very helpful for his Qi training.

"Ah, congratulations, young master, you succeeded!"

Aer, who was standing by, was also very happy, and looked at the talisman formation again and again with curiosity.

He could not sense the fluctuation of spiritual energy, but only felt that the ground was bright and shining with white light, which was very cool, and he was also very comfortable staying in the yard.

He naturally knew that this talisman formation should be a very remarkable thing.

"Young master is really omnipotent and knows everything." Ada looked at Song Changming with respect.

He felt that nothing in the world could be difficult for his young master.

The little yellow chicken and the little white bird in the room noticed the movement in the yard, and also jumped onto the windowsill, quietly witnessing the whole process of Song Changming's successful talisman formation.

After about an hour, the spirit crystals in the talisman array were consumed, and the talisman array also became silent, losing its function of gathering spirits.

"Can the entry-level small spirit gathering array only last for one hour?" Song Changming sat in the courtyard, looking at the dimmed talisman array on the ground, and shook his head.

A small spirit gathering array for one hour requires four medium-grade spirit crystals and eighteen low-grade spirit crystals to set up.

This price is not small.

If you ignore the cost and only pursue the ultimate cultivation speed, you can consider adding such a talisman array for cultivation.

If you have a limited number of spirit crystals, you will not consider this level of small spirit gathering array, which is really not cost-effective.

There are two known ways for Song Changming to reduce the cost of setting up the array.

One is to increase the experience value of this talisman array, so that the small spirit gathering array for one hour can last for one day, five days, or ten days.

The second way is to completely replace the materials for setting up the array, replacing the spirit crystals with spirit veins!

In this way, as long as the spirit vein can still produce spiritual energy, the talisman array can continue to operate continuously.

It is equivalent to a temporary small spirit gathering array arrangement, and the other is a semi-permanent talisman array arrangement.

"Anyway, this first talisman array has finally been successfully arranged." Song Changming smiled lightly.

Although there are still many unsatisfactory aspects of the talisman array, he is satisfied.

Next, it is the accumulation of time, and it can be improved slowly.

Time is bit by bit, like a gentle breeze and a soothing drizzle.

When it blows across the face, although there is a slight feeling, it is difficult for people on the journey to feel the passage of time.

When I came back to my senses, I suddenly realized that time had left so many traces and gains and losses on each other.

Five years of time were so easily and fairly turned over by all the creatures under the world.

Five years later.

Cuibai Road, outside the main city of Cuibai, on a wilderness plain.

The galloping of war horses is like a torrent, sweeping in all directions.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered here, forming dozens of square formations.

There is another open battlefield in the middle. At this moment, the two selected armies are fighting fiercely, causing a huge commotion.

This is the convening of another round of military parade.

In terms of time, although this military parade was delayed and late, this rare opportunity to rectify military discipline will never be absent.

Above the battlefield, several government military officers flew around and stared at the battle situation below, acting as supervisors and referees.

On one side of the battlefield, on the top of the peak.

There are also many officials in the royal palace holding notebooks, recording the details of the battle.

The first seat is naturally the Cui Wang who dominates Cuibai Road.

Behind him are 48 military marshals, and Hu Zhong, the great marshal of the army, also accompanied Cui Wang.

And next to the marshals are all the small flag owners of the military.

Song Changming wore a set of gilded flag master armor, without a helmet, his hair was simply tied up, and he stood beside Yang Zhen with his arms folded across his chest.

He looked down at the fierce battle between the two armies below with a calm expression, and sighed a little in his heart.

I still remember that in the last military parade, he was in the middle of it as a main general, participating in the fight and showing everyone his extraordinary martial arts.

But this time, he didn't have to go out in person.

In the past five years, his position changed again, from the original candidate for the small flag master to a formal official.

He became the fifth small flag master after Gao Shuxi in the 41st Army under Wang Tianshuang.

There is basically no dispute about this.

Song Changming's record of killing the elder of the Zhao family is really convincing.

In terms of strength, he is basically the best among the main generals, and no one can match him.

If Wang Tianshuang didn't promote him to a small flag master, I'm afraid Song Changming would be recruited by other green flag soldiers the next year.

This year is also the third year that Song Changming has been promoted to the position of a minor flag master.

"Changming, without you as a general in the army this year, I'm afraid that the ranking of our 41st Army will decline." Wang Shifu looked at the fierce battle of his own army below and shook his head.

"That can't be helped. With Changming's current ability, it would be a bit of a bully to participate in the battle again." Yang Zhen came to Song Changming's rescue.

"Besides, there is Tiexin, who may not drop in rank, and even if he drops one or two places, it is understandable."

Xing Tiexin was undoubtedly defeated by Song Changming in the election for the flag master, so he is still the main general now.

But his strength has really reached the standard of a minor flag master.

Compared to five years ago, Xing Tiexin, who opened up the Tianwu Meridian, has been in a period of rapid growth in recent years.

Now he has grown into a trump card among the main generals in the army, a real mainstay.

No wonder Yang Zhen has always been optimistic about Xing Tiexin.

"Brother Yang is still as optimistic as ever. We ranked fourteenth in the last military parade. I'm afraid this time it won't end with a drop of one or two places." Gao Shuxi said indifferently.

He is not unwilling to see his own army do well, but he simply doesn't get along with Yang Zhen, and he also doesn't like Song Changming and Xing Tiexin who are traveling with Yang Zhen.

On weekdays, he would occasionally make fun of the three people and make trouble, which is unpleasant.

Another point is that the Gao family behind this person is close to the Zhao family.

To put it more bluntly, this Gao family is located in the second urban area and has always been a loyal lackey of the Zhao family.

Therefore, even if it is due to his position, Gao Shuxi cannot be with Song Changming and the other two.

"Xing Tiexin's personal bravery is good in our army, but he is not good enough among the commanders of the entire army."

As soon as Gao Shuxi finished speaking, a small hill on the battlefield was suddenly blown to pieces by a strong and powerful aura.

Looking closely, it was Xing Tiexin who single-handedly defeated a fierce general and dozens of guards of the other side.

For a time, the 41st Army was full of momentum, and the other side was on the verge of defeat.

This also made Gao Shuxi unable to utter sarcastic words instantly, as if he was slapped in the face.

Several small flag owners of the 41st Army were quite excited, but he was silent. Xing Tiexin played well in the victory and performed brilliantly, which was witnessed by everyone.

Song Changming was also happy for Xing Tiexin. According to the current situation, it should not take a few years for Xing Tiexin to be promoted to the position of small flag owner, and he did not need to worry about anything.

As for Gao Shuxi, in his eyes now, he is just a small role.

Although the Gao family behind him is in the second district, it is not as good as the top families like Wang, Meng, and Zhao, and even the Guan family behind Guan Yuntai, so it is not a threat to him now.

Gao Shuxi is already the face of the Gao family who has been cultivated and promoted. Song Changming, who was able to kill Zhao Liang five years ago, is not afraid of a small Gao Shuxi now, and naturally does not take him seriously.

According to his observation, Wang Tianshuang has been thinking about moving Gao Shuxi's position as the leader of the small flag.

After all, the Wang family represented by Wang Tianshuang is already opposed to the Zhao family, and naturally will not keep such a lackey of the Zhao family around for a long time.

Gao Shuxi's situation is actually not very good. I don't know when he will be kicked out because of a crime.

"Which two armies will fight next?" Song Changming asked.

"The Fifth Army and the Twenty-first Army." Yang Zhen looked from a distance and said.

"The Fifth Army." Song Changming still remembered it.

In the last military parade, it was the Fifth Army led by Meng Kunlun that made them taste defeat.

It's a pity that this year, he was promoted to a small flag master, and he was destined to have no chance to fight with the Fifth Army again.

Just thinking about it, he suddenly noticed a gaze falling on him, and he couldn't help but look sideways.

"It's him."

The person who met his gaze was the former number one commander of the Fifth Army.

The man who was born with the power of thunder, Xu Yuan.

Back then, it was his existence that made Song Changming and him both out of the game.

Now, after so many years, Song Changming has become a small flag master, and the other party is also wearing a flag master's armor and standing on the peak stand.

There is no doubt that the other party has also been promoted to a small flag master of the Fifth Army.

"It's a pity that I don't have a chance to fight with you again." Xu Yuan was not far away, and he directly controlled the voice line and transmitted it to Song Changming's ears.

"I haven't congratulated Brother Xu on being promoted to flag master yet." Song Changming smiled and said.

"It happened four years ago. I heard that you killed the old man of the Zhao family. I will challenge you to a duel if I have a chance!"

Xu Yuan didn't seem to care so much about his position as the leader of the small flag. Instead, he challenged Song Changming to a duel.

"Okay." Song Changming agreed.

In recent years, because Song Changming has risen too quickly and has such an amazing record, there are actually quite a few generals in the military who want to compete with him.

In most cases, Song Changming doesn't mind the trouble and will accept it.

On the one hand, this allows him to accumulate practical experience and verify the results of his practice for a period of time.

On the other hand, he has well preserved his own tradition.

If you want to compete with him, you have to put up enough money.

In this way, he has made a lot of money from gambling all year round, which can make up for the material consumption needed for his daily practice to a certain extent.

At the same time, on the battlefield.

The situation of this battle was not tense, and it soon became one-sided.

Although the Fifth Army lost its general Xu Yuan, its military strength was not reduced too much. It completed a wave of clearing with overwhelming force and easily won the first victory of this military parade.

Xu Yuan seemed to be quite satisfied with the performance of the army on the stands. He looked relaxed and talked and laughed with his colleagues around him.

Meng Kunlun, who was sitting in the marshal's seat, still closed his eyes and rested, not smiling.

A big victory in a military parade was nothing to him.

While the military parade here was in full swing, in the Three Thousand Spiritual Mountains in the west of Yunzhou.

On a peak surrounded by clouds and mist, many palaces stand in a row, like a palace in the sky.

A huge white jade stele stands on the top of the peak, nearly a hundred feet high!

There are three ancient characters engraved on it.

Tian Daoyuan!

The sect, which used to be peaceful, is now in a rare chaos.

In a bamboo house, a man who sleeps until the sun rises, hears the strange noises in the Taoist temple and can't help but push the door and walk out.

If Song Changming is there, he will definitely recognize this person.

It is Li Jinyu, who came to Guyuan Country with him that year and is good at talking and calculating!

"Brother, what happened today? Such a noise?" Li Jinyu, wearing a simple white disciple uniform, stretched out his hand to stop a person on the road, bowed and asked.

"Elder Jin calculated that there is a bad omen in the sky today, which is the sky swallowing the sun that has not appeared for three hundred years! The three states of the human race are afraid of being robbed!" The brother explained immediately.

"The sky swallows the sun." Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment.

He remembered that he had heard about this ominous sign from his master.

He never thought that it would appear so suddenly today!

He knew that Elder Jin was a man of great ability, and he was a big shot in the Tiandao Academy who was good at stargazing.

Since it came from Elder Jin, this prediction would basically not be wrong!

The sky swallows the sun is really coming, and it will be today!

"No more talking, Master ordered us to spread this news as soon as possible and warn the three states of the human race!"

After saying that, the senior brother bowed and left in a hurry.

"I think I am safe in this Tiandao Academy. I don't know how Brother Changming has been doing these years?" Li Jinyu suddenly thought of Song Changming who was still in Yunzhou.

He pinched his fingers lightly and made a slight deduction.

However, it was still like seeing flowers in the fog, and it was unclear.

Song Changming's existence was extremely difficult to be calculated.

It was like this in the past, and now he has been a disciple of Tiandao Academy for many years, and it is still like this.

He could only figure out that Song Changming was roughly in the Cuibai Road area of ​​Yunzhou. He had no idea what Song Changming was doing and what opportunities and dangers he would face later.

"I haven't learned my skills yet." Li Jinyu shook his head and lowered his hands.

"Brother Changming, I can only hope that you are safe."

Song Changming looked at the sky.

The sun was setting in the west, and the huge orange sun was setting little by little.

"It's time to rest today." Song Changming calculated the time and said to himself.

"Changming, come to my place for a drink later. Tiexin performed well today." Yang Zhen turned around and smiled.

"Okay." Song Changming did not refuse.

At this time, it was a period of severe crackdown, and it was not important to go to romantic places. It was not a big deal to have a few drinks at home.

As he was talking, a strange atmosphere suddenly enveloped him.

Song Changming frowned slightly, looked up, and his eyes slowly widened.

The scorching sun in the west was being swallowed by a touch of darkness at this moment!
