Chapter 40: Raising troops

Polishing the body and refining mana are the most time-consuming.

Especially in this illusion, true and false are mixed. Every time you take a step forward, there will be many falsehoods mixed in, so you have to take a big step back to distinguish the true from the false, and eliminate the false to preserve the true.

Although Zhao Yu had long considered honing his Taoism as his first priority in the illusion, he had no intention of becoming an Earth Immortal and refining the Hunyuan body in this world where it was difficult to distinguish between true and false. This step is very critical. Although it is an illusion, true and false are mixed, but once urged, the Tao seeds will germinate, and it will be an irreversible process.

After going out, his cultivation dropped and Hunyuan's body was greatly damaged, so the gain outweighed the loss.

But it does not prevent him from carefully polishing his physical body and refining his magic power. The physical body has five points of trueness, and if it is polished carefully, it can be polished to six, seven, or even eighty-nine points. His magic power has three points of trueness, and it can be polished to seven or eight points of trueness. , it will be much more convenient after going out.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

In addition to comprehending various magic weapons, allowing the physical magic power to slowly increase is also a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

As long as you have a little thought, the Four-Nine Transformation Yuan Gong is running all the time, making the mana more refined and promoting the physical body to slowly improve.

Zhao Yu had no intention of refining a flower before cultivating the Hunyuan body in the physical body. Except for the slightest reference to the Dharma, Heaven, Symbols and Earth, any other three-headed, six-armed or messy things should be discarded. Just from beginning to end, over and over again to consolidate the acupoints, enhance the source of Tao, and understand the art of change over and over again.

While Zhao Yu was indulging in practice, great changes had begun in the world.

When Ji Chang returned to Xiqi, Shen Gongbao deposed the emperor and established a new one. Ji Chang accused Shen Gongbao of deposing the emperor without permission and denounced him for being rebellious. He also spread the word to the world and called on all the princes from all over the world to attack him.

He ordered Jiang Shang to be the military advisor and Er Zifa to be the commander, leading an army of 100,000 to attack Sanshan Pass.

Nangong Shi, Ji Ming, and Ji Sheng were the first and second vanguards. They arrived at the gate of Sanshan Pass with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and contacted the secret agents stationed in Sanshan Pass, hoping to seize Sanshan Pass at night.

However, he was noticed by the general of the Zhenguan Army and suppressed the rebellion before the door could be opened, leaving Nangong Shi without success.

In these three mountains and passes, there are Kong Xuan, Yang Jian, Deng Jiugong, Zhang Shan and others. They all have their own methods.

Nangong Shi saw that he could not seize the pass and did not dare to stay under the city for a long time. He quickly led his troops to retreat dozens of miles to meet up with Ji Fa's main army. But he also knew that the military strength in Sanshan Pass was at its peak, and the generals guarding it were all very ordinary people, and they did not dare to stay here as targets.

At noon the next day, Xiqi's army arrived.

Standing on the city and looking down, it is boundless. The flags were fluttering, the crowds were crowded, and the murderous aura and blood soaring into the sky were like a scarlet Haoyang, driving away the white clouds in the high sky, and the wind and rain did not dare to approach.

On the city tower, Deng Jiugong, Zhang Shan, Kong Xuan, Yang Jian, Deng Chanyu and his wife, all holding soldiers and armor, were watching Xiqi's military situation.

Deng Jiugong twisted his beard and said: "Xiqi's rebellion against the merchants is indeed not unreasonable. The elites of these 100,000 troops are no worse than my soldiers guarding the pass."

Zhang Shan frowned and said, "Then I should have killed Nangong Shi first and cut off one of his arms last night."

However, Nangong Shi led troops last night, but failed to sneak through the gate. Zhang Shan wanted to lead troops to attack him, but was blocked by Yang Jian.

Hearing this, Yang Jian smiled and said: "For you and me, it doesn't matter whether it's one hundred thousand or ninety thousand. Killing Nangong Shi first will scare off the snake and scare away Ji Fa. It's better to wait for his army to come together and catch them all."

Kong Xuan had a cold face and nodded slightly, expressing his deep understanding.

It turns out that when Yang Jian left Chaoge and came to Sanshanguan as the commander-in-chief, he soon married Deng Chanyu. Deng Chanyu is also a practitioner, although her cultivation is not high and her skills are shallow. Yang Jian was attracted by her valiant appearance and extraordinary beauty, which was very different from that of Chaoge women.

Yang Jian was not a shy person, so he just took out the marriage certificate, and Deng Jiugong immediately agreed.

As far as Deng Jiugong is concerned, Yang Jian is not only a member of the Immortal family, but also the senior brother of Prime Minister Shen Gongbao. Regardless of his status, he is satisfied with Deng Jiugong. Yang Jiansheng's bravery was without any trace of powdery air, and his movements were majestic. His temperament was most suitable for generals like Deng Jiugong.

Not only Deng Jiugong, but also Deng Chanyu was extremely satisfied.

So the marriage was completed.

At that time, Zhao Yu also came in person, and as a high official, he witnessed Yang Jian's marriage.

So far, Deng Chanyu has given birth to a son for Yang Jian.

At this moment, I'm afraid even the saint has no way of calculating. How sad is it to be alone, but already has a wife and children?

When Yang Jian arrived at Sanshanguan, he was already responsible for suppressing Xiqi. Now that Xiqi was here, it was too late for him to be happy. He just said that after defeating Xiqi, he returned to Tiantai Mountain with his wife and children. He has long been tired of this mundane world.

Last night Zhang Shan proposed sending troops, but he vetoed it. It was just a matter of not alerting the enemy, hoping to catch all Xiqi's army today.

Neither he nor Kong Xuan took Xiqi's 100,000-strong army seriously. Yang Jian is now an out-and-out Yuanshen monk. He has mastered the Nine-turn Yuan Gong improved by Zhao Yu. His magical power and magical power are so strong that few others can match them. Just like Kong Xuan, there is nothing you can do to stop him without the five-color divine light.

Although due to Shen Gongbao, Dachang inherited the basis of talisman and Xiqi learned from it, which made the army prosperous. But even if a hundred thousand people form an formation, with the help of the power of the talisman and armor, they can kill the energy refining monks and resist the golden elixir monks, but they cannot withstand the Yuanshen 'Golden Immortal'.

Xiqi's army set up camp and rested for only half a day before coming to fight.

It was the pioneer general Nangong Shi.

Nangong Shi rode his horse and came to the pass with a sword, and said: "Shen Gongbao is unruly. He is favored by the late king, but he abolishes the establishment without authorization. He should be punished. Xiqi Chengtian responded to the people and raised an army to attack him. Guan Er Wait for me to open and close the gate quickly and welcome me into the city. Don't help the leopard, otherwise we will be destroyed in one blow, and it will be too late to regret!"

Yang Jian and others at the top of the city couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Then Yang Jian shouted loudly: "Why are there so many excuses? If the prime minister does not depose Emperor Xin, you will say that Emperor Xin is unethical and abuses the people. You, Xiqi, will punish you on behalf of heaven? You, Xiqi, will take the place of heaven. It is enough for you." That stinks."

Hearing this, the soldiers on the city burst into laughter.

Nangong Shi couldn't help but blushing, feeling extremely ashamed and angry, and shouted: "Which thief will dare to go out of the city to fight with me?!"

"That's right."

Yang Jian put his hands on his hands and smiled and said, "Just wait a moment."

Then he said to Deng Jiugong: "When my junior brother taught me to come to Sanshan Pass, I had already known that Xiqi had a disobedient heart. After several years, I finally waited. I went out to fight him, and the commander-in-chief saw the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to kill him. , today we have defeated the rebels in one fell swoop, Chanyu and I can return to the mountain with peace of mind."

Deng Jiugong knew Yang Jian's intention early. Although the world of mortals is prosperous, wouldn't it be better if we could cultivate into an immortal family? It is an opportunity for my daughter to follow Yang Jian, so why not support her?

Deng Jiugong said: "Go."

Yang Jian clasped his fists and smiled at Zhang Shan and Kong Xuan: "I'm going to take advantage of this."

Zhang Shan and Kong Xuan laughed.
