Chapter 1105: Rescue the Wronged Souls
“When Xu Xiao attacked the city, Wang Mingyang defended the city, and each prepared for war. This scholar, who was born in Jixia Academy, fortified the city and cleared the fields. All the food and supplies outside the city were transported into the city. Even the houses were demolished, and the wood and bricks were moved into the city. In order to prevent Xu Xiao from digging tunnels, 100 wells were dug along the foot of the city in advance. Large clay pots covered with leather were placed in the wells, and people with good hearing were asked to lie down and listen.
Not to mention the 50,000 guards, the 150,000 Xiangfan people were divided into different levels, monks, craftsmen, and rangers each performed their duties, and the necessary materials for defending the city were divided into two categories: official and civilian.
Then select the martial arts masters of the world to be selected on the day of the battle. Patrol the city at night to prevent spies in the city from setting fire to the city.
Wang Mingyang has made full use of his military knowledge in Shangyin Academy in the past ten years.
Xu Xiao once said that if everyone in Shangyin Academy was like this, he would be fine even if he became a scholar in Jixia Academy.
"To attack a city, you must first cross the river and the trench.
Then you have to take the city, and then the most tragic city climbing. Climbing the city is also known as ant climbing. Looking at the top of the city, you can imagine the scene of thousands of people climbing up on the ladder with arrows, boulders, rolling logs and kerosene. The monks in the city invented the The demon-subduing pestle, the old Taoist with the ox-nosed nose created a furnace of gold liquid that would cause ulceration if it touched the skin.
After climbing the city, there was a street fight. At that time, Xiangfan gathered a large number of gangsters and green forest heroes, who vowed to defend this important town for the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains. They shared the same hatred and enemies. Before the street fight, they had repelled the Northern Liang army countless times in close combat on the city wall. If it were not for them, Xiangfan would not have taken ten years, but three years would have been enough.
People only know that the Northern Liang army is the best in the world in horse battles, but they don’t know that infantry battles and sieges are not bad. They have been crushing the enemy in the Spring and Autumn Wars, but when they arrived in Xiangfan, most of their elite troops were lost, including Three hundred cave masters who were skilled in drilling the ground died.
This attack and defense lasted ten years. As for who was right and who was wrong, no one knows.
But it was during these ten years that Xu Xiao, who had always been vindictive, had a real grudge with the Jianghu. "The moat was unusually wide, and the suspension bridge on the river was not retracted. Xiangfan was strictly banned at night, but the suspension bridge had been laid flat over the years, and even the main gate had never been closed overnight. It seemed that according to the instructions of the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master, after setting up more than 30,000 Zhoutian Dajiao for the good deeds of transcending the nine netherworlds and removing sins, the ghost gate was not closed, allowing the wronged souls to leave Fengdu Xiangfan. Legend has it that before leaving the city, the Huang Zi Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain personally drew talismans and wrote seals around the city, and finally hung a Taoist talisman on the top floor of Diaoyutai, which read "The Tiangang has returned to the Tiangang, and the Disha should return to the ground", saying that when the wandering souls in Xiangfan are gone, this talisman will burn out.
But the talisman has been written for many years and has never disappeared. It undoubtedly became an indelible haze in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangfan City.
Shang Yi said sarcastically in a low voice:
"There are countless masters in the world, including Buddhism, Taoism, and even Confucianism. How could there not be masters who can solve the problems here? It's just that Buddhism and Taoism are fighting each other, and even Confucianism is not allowed to enter, so this situation continues.
Later, King Jing'an arrived in Qingzhou and asked someone to use means to make Xiangfan and King Jing'an have a cause and effect. Those who can save the resentment in the city are naturally people with great abilities, but these Buddhist and Taoist masters are even more unwilling to get involved in the struggle for secular power, so they let it go."
Then he looked at Xu Fengnian and smiled:
"This is a bargain for your Xu family. King Jing'an, Longhu Mountain and Lantuo Mountain are all in vain!"
People downstairs can't see the people in the building, but the people in the building can look down and see Xu Fengnian.
The man in the building was tall and slender, wearing an ordinary Taoist robe, hemp shoes, a Taoist hairpin in his bun, and a whisk in his hand. The top floor of Diaoyutai is a forbidden area. Several respected old Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain are stationed there. Even King Jing'an is not allowed to enter. When the Great Heavenly Master left the city, he clearly stated that only the real people from the Heavenly Master's Mansion could set foot there.
If the little girl and the little monks from the north and south went to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to make trouble, they would recognize this Taoist priest. He was the one who led them into the inner courtyard of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. It was he who used the white-tailed whisk to block the move of the arrogant yellow and purple Taoist priest in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and personally introduced Mr. Bai Lian.
This little Heavenly Master from Longhu Mountain was surnamed Qi, the same surname as the Great Real Person Qi Xuanzhen, and the same appearance as a ancestor of Longhu Mountain.
Holding a whisk, he was praised by the national teacher who controlled the world's Taoism as "Tai Gong sitting on Kunlun".
After he left Longhu Mountain, all kinds of legends snowballed, as if the whole world was praising him. But he was indifferent, because these were not what he cared about. To him, those great principles, which most people could not understand, were not principles.
Brothers love each other, children are filial, and couples love each other, which are principles. Those great knowledge, which are just knowledge competing in books and classics, are not knowledge.
Old farmers work hard to cultivate, vendors bargain, and merchants pursue profits day and night, which are knowledge. He believed that his Tao roots were shallow, so he did not seek the way of heaven, but only wanted to enter the world with martial arts to save the world. He went down the mountain for two things. One was to enter Xiangfan. Before his master went into seclusion, he said that the heavenly talisman would burn, and he wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.
Then he went to Wudang to confirm whether the young headmaster could really shoulder the way of heaven. As for how to judge, it was very simple. The whisk in his hand could be used as a sword. If he could kill, it was fake. If he could not kill, it was real.
He turned around and looked at the heavenly talisman that connected the sky and the earth with a red rope, and frowned.
The heavenly talisman was shaking.
Xu Fengnian narrowed his eyes and saw a strange woman walking out of the city gate.
She had shaved off all the hair on her head.
She was wearing a snow-white monk's robe, and a white snake was biting a white pot on her wrist.
She was barefoot, but her jade feet were not covered with dust.
She walked lightly onto the suspension bridge.
Outside the gate of Xiangfan City, the ghostly aura was as heavy as heavy snow, but she was like a Guanyin Bodhisattva, saving all living beings.
In Diaoyutai, the sky talisman burned into ashes.
"All ghosts leave the city."
The Taoist priest of Tianshi Mansion sighed: "Longhu Mountain lost. Landuo Mountain won."
The woman with the white dress, white snake and white pot has skin as good as snow. Such a fairy Buddha woman walked out of the ghost gate of Xiangfan. The horse led by Xu Fengnian's reins lowered its head and neighed, and the horse's hooves beat the ground hard. This was not only the case for the animal, but also for the horse team.
Xu Fengnian opened his eyes and saw that the woman, who was either a fairy or a mortal, stepped onto the suspension bridge. No one was trampled in the moat, but the water suddenly surged and rolled like a boil, as if thousands of troops were passing by.
Shang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile:
"The Six-Jead Bodhisattva who wants to practice double cultivation with you is here. Not only does he want to take a look at the Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night in Xiangfan, but he also wants to take a look at you!"
Then he looked at the building again and saw that the Dragon Tiger Mountain Qi Xiaotian Master had already left.
Xu Fengnian was unwilling to wait and had already arrived at the door. If the merit of rescuing hundreds of thousands of wronged souls was snatched away by the Six-Jead Bodhisattva, he would be in trouble!
Then the Da Huang Ting circulated in the body, communicating with the princess in the sea of consciousness.
During this period, the princess' soul resided in Xu Fengnian's body. Not only was she able to communicate normally with Xu Fengnian, but she also taught Xu Fengnian her many years of kendo insights. She also became more powerful under Xu Fengnian's pregnancy and was always in Xu Fengnian's body. The mysterious power flowed out, making the princess' soul more stable, and even her understanding of the Land Sword Immortal became deeper and deeper.
At this time, seeing the Six-Jead Bodhisattva eyeing his son, he naturally refused to be outdone. Suddenly, a Guanyin Dharma image blooming with Buddha's light appeared behind Xu Fengnian and floated up to the tower.
The hundreds of thousands of wronged souls that were originally released due to the burning of the Celestial Master's talisman in the building, now their resentment gradually dissipated under the illumination of the Buddha's light, turning into shadows to worship Guanyin.
"That's right!~"
"Guanyin Bodhisattva has appeared, and she is saving the wronged soul in the tower!"
"Bodhisattva bless you!"
The people who were entering the city looked shocked, and then they knelt down and clasped their hands together, asking for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.
The Six-Jead Bodhisattva standing in the center of the suspension bridge and Qi Xiaotian Master, who had descended from the tower and hid among the crowd, were shocked to see the image of Guanyin blooming with infinite Buddha light in the sky!
Qi Xiaotian Master and Liuzhu Bodhisattva are both very discerning. The Avalokitesvara image in the sky is the condensed image of the Buddha who has attained enlightenment. Although it is an image of a Bodhisattva, its path and fruition are truly enlightened, just like a living Buddha in this world!
Moreover, the sword intention surges in the Buddha's light, and he is also a land swordsman who has entered the Buddha from the sword!
Princess Wu Suben has already reached the realm of Land Sword Immortal. She has been a Buddhist for many years and is familiar with Buddhist scriptures!
Therefore, after experiencing death and resurgence, when he achieved the Avalokitesvara Dharma and resided in Xu Fengnian's body, his understanding of Buddhism also gradually increased.
One Dharma can lead to all Dharmas, and one can understand the Dharma from the realm of the Land Sword Immortal. In addition, the Buddha's light has now shown how to save hundreds of thousands of wronged souls, and the merit gained also helped Princess Wu Su gain insights into the Dharma.
If Princess Wu Su can successfully complete the meritorious deeds in Xiangfan, she will not only have enough confidence to bring back the dead, but also be able to go further and more steadily on the path of swordsmanship and Buddhism, and even have the chance of immortality!
Qi Xiaotianshi, who was waiting and watching, did not take action. Although he belonged to the Taoist sect and the interests of Longhu Mountain were very important, now Guanyin Dharma really has the ability to redeem these one hundred thousand wronged souls and send them to death. For these one hundred thousand wronged souls, It is the best destination. He is also a truly enlightened person, so he does not want to destroy it.
Liuzhu Bodhisattva is also compassionate, not to mention that the one who takes action is Guanyin Dharma. This is a sign that Buddhism is one step ahead and will not stop it.
And Zhao Heng, the king of Jingan who knew what was going on here in the city tower, although he wanted to sabotage Beiliang's plan, as the prince of Qingzhou, if he took action, he would lose the hearts of the people of Qingzhou, let alone Xiangfan, and the losses would be even greater!
Therefore, we can only send spies to find out everything Xu Fengnian did along the way, so as to figure out what Beiliang's plan is! ?
Who is the Buddhist master behind the scenes who condenses the Dharma of Guanyin and takes action to save hundreds of thousands of wronged souls in Xiangfan?
This matter is even more important. After all, they can also see that the Six-Jead Bodhisattva has not taken action yet, and an unknown Buddhist Bodhisattva who is able to do such a thing seems to appear out of nowhere, making King Jing'an sleepless and uneasy.
Check out the correct version one by one!
Not only King Jing'an exerted his strength, but the emperor of Liyang Dynasty was also restless. Over the years, Liyang court boasted that it had almost mastered Xu Xiao's trump cards.
The old sword god Li Chungang, the peach blossom sword god Deng Tai'a, etc. suddenly appeared at this time and a Buddhist Bodhisattva who had never appeared before, how could the emperor not be furious.
The emperor of Tai'an City knew about the vision just revealed by Guanyin Dharma, which shows how much Liyang attaches importance to Beiliang. This was in the feudal era, so it was understandable that it was difficult to convey messages.
Obviously, Li Yang used Taoism's special means to send the message this time, so that Qin Tianjian received the news and passed it on to the emperor.
Knowing that the Avalokitesvara Dharma came from Xu Fengnian, and that the Six-Jead Bodhisattva wanted to practice dual cultivation with Xu Fengnian, the man from Tai'an City had some doubts that Beiliang had joined forces with Buddhism.
After all, the Northern Liang King’s family all believe in Buddhism, and everyone knows this!
However, Xu Fengnian did not give others time to react. Guanyin's method of saving the wronged souls was very fast. The sky shook and the energy of heaven and earth gathered. At the same time, countless merits fell down, most of which fell into the Guanyin method. , the remaining part was made into two parts, large and small, one part fell into Shang Yi's place, and the other part fell into Xu Fengnian's body.
Immediately, the Avalokitesvara fell back and merged into Xu Fengnian's body. Just as the Six-Jead Bodhisattva was about to step forward to communicate with Xu Fengnian, Shang Yi had already come to Xu Fengnian's side and led everyone away with his magical feet.
"Magic foot power!?"
A strange look flashed in Liuzhu Bodhisattva's eyes. He didn't expect that the young man dressed as a businessman following Xu Fenghuang could easily use his magical power and lead everyone away directly.
She is also profound in Buddhism and has some understanding of the six magical powers of Buddhism. Therefore, she can detect that Shang Yi's magical feet are extremely far away, and she is very shocked in her heart.
The disappearance of Xu Fengnian also shocked the spies from all the forces in Xiangfan, and they all reported back everything that happened here.
"Commercial building~~~"
King Jing'an was in the palace looking at some information sent back by spies, which contained Shang Yi's portrait and related information.
He never expected that a businessman from overseas would have such means to take Xu Fengnian and others directly from Qingzhou.
After all, when they learned about Xu Fengnian's whereabouts again, Xu Fengnian had already appeared in Liangzhou City and even in the back mountains of Beiliang Prince's Mansion.
Such a method, whether it is to save one's life or to assassinate, is a method that makes those in power very jealous, and its deterrence is no less than that of Qi Xuanzhen's flying sword to behead people thousands of miles away!
Not only King Jingan, but all the forces have paid more attention to the Shang Building. With such a building owner, which force dares to deal with the Shang Building blatantly, isn't it afraid that the Shang Building owner will suddenly appear at his bedside at night?
With such mobility, it can be said that the owner of the commercial building is in an invincible position. As long as he doesn't want to die, no one can kill him!
This is also one of Shang Yi's purposes, to give everyone including Xu Xiao a deterrent.
After all, bringing the dead back to life is such a big thing. Once it is done, who in heaven and on earth will not covet it?
Even the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao may not have other thoughts.
Shang Yi is clearly telling everyone that I can come and go as I please, and I am not even afraid of people around me being arrested, because I can take people away at any time.
This is not the real world, but a private place created by Shang Yi and others in the world of the heavens, the world of honor. I am submissive in the world of the heavens, for fear of being plotted by the power on the other side, but in this world in the snow, I have a heavy fist Attack, you can even "don't eat beef"!
"Shua~~~"
Shang Yi, Xu Fengnian and their entourage appeared in Wutong Garden of Beiliang Prince's Mansion. At this time, Jiang Ni and others had just arrived at the border of Beiliang. It would take half a day to return to Beiliang Prince's Mansion.
Xu Fengnian looked at this familiar scene in shock, looked at Shang Yi with his mouth open and said:
"Awesome, Lord Shang, I thought you were just taking us to quickly meet up with Feng Ziying and return to Beiliang territory together. I didn't expect that you would go directly back to the palace!"
Shang Yi smiled slightly and said:
"We have done such a big thing in Xiangfan, so naturally we have to come back early, otherwise we will be intercepted halfway, and we will suffer a big loss!"
Then he threw the treasured money into the air with his right hand and said:
"Resurrection from the dead is something that defies heaven. Even if I conceal the secret, I can't hide it for too long, so I'd better do it as soon as possible, otherwise the success rate of the human catastrophe will be even lower!"
After saying that, he asked Xu Fengnian to lead the way quickly to where Wu Su's body was.
The Prince of Beiliang had already made preparations at this time, and Xu Fengnian quickly took Shang Yi to the place where Princess Wu Su's body was.
That's the back mountain. It was a place specially chosen by Li Yishan. He even used luck methods to arrange a great Feng Shui formation to cover up the secrets of heaven and gather vitality!
Not only that, Li Yishan also arranged a thunder array early. He calculated that Wu Su's resurrection would cause a heavenly catastrophe, so he arranged a thunder array to guide the heavenly tribulation underground and help Wu Su overcome the catastrophe.
After all, you can only overcome the thunder catastrophe from the sky by yourself. If others don't use special means to help, it may lead to worse results.
At this time, Xu Xiao had already been waiting beside Princess Wu Su. Seeing Shang Yi and others arriving, Xu Xiao solemnly bowed and said:
"Master Shang, if this happens, Shang will be Beiliang's benefactor. This kindness to Beiliang and the Xu family will never be forgotten!" (End of Chapter)
