Shi Hao asked, "Yue'er, what about you?"
Yue'er sat in front of him, and he held her from behind. Although he had helped her get dressed, her clothes were still in disarray.
She raised her sleeves shyly, half covering her face, and whispered, "There are some gains."
Shi Hao could not help but hug her tighter. After a while, he said, "I also got something." He turned his hand and it was the green lamp in front of the Buddha. The light bloomed and formed a great and perfect Buddha light, covering them both.
After they left Lingshan, they were flying above the Demon Realm. Below them, countless demons were like a sea and a tide, trying to break through the boundary wall and rush towards them.
The precious light from the green lamp shone like the blazing sun, and a large number of Yin Demons were destroyed across the boundary wall. You know, Yin Demons are supposed to be immortal, and even if they "die", they just return to the Netherworld.
As a result, under the illumination of the light, those Yin demons were turned into ashes directly. The other Yin demons were horrified and fled away, not daring to approach at all.
Yun Caiyao breathed a sigh of relief, although this trip to Lingshan had some twists and turns... mainly because of that last moment, when she saw him running out with the female infant goddess in his arms, it was eye-opening.
But overall, there were still gains.
Just like this, Bai Jiao carried them away from the Demon Realm, and then under her guidance, flew out of the heaven and returned to the mortal world.
Chapter 468 Returning to the Human World, the Three Treasures of Buddhism
Shi Hao, Ming Yueshu and Yun Caiyao rode on the flying dragon and flew directly to Beidu.
At this moment, the war in the south had basically ended, with the Xuan Army and the Su Army dividing the country into two parts, one in the west and the other in the east.
If historical inertia is followed, in order to compete for the final victory, the two major forces will inevitably have a war that sweeps the world. Qinhuai, Changhe, Jiangnan and other places are all battlefields. Before one side sweeps the world, there will inevitably be continuous wars and the people will suffer.
But at this time, the top leaders of the Xuan Army and the Su Army seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other and actually restrained their respective generals. Both sides occupied their own cities and there were not many conflicts.
Once we crossed the Yellow River, the place became relatively chaotic.
Unlike Zhongdu Luojing, Luojing was under the control of Yueketai. The entire city surrendered to the Xuan Army, and some wealthy families were liquidated in the process, so the overall situation was stable.
In the Fuli area, the barbarian army was still cruel and perverse until the last moment. Once the Su army crossed the Yellow River, the lower-class people cooperated with the Su army to rise up in resistance. Not only the barbarian army, but all the people of the Jin tribe were massacred.
Although Li Xiuer issued an order to prohibit such involvement, she was unable to control it. Not only did the wealthy and powerful members of the Jin clan fail to escape, but even the common people suffered as well.
This retaliatory massacre also caused a river of blood. Some wealthy families wanted to flee to Luojing, but it was already difficult for the Yueketai family to protect themselves, so how could they dare to take them in
The Xuan army directly drove them back, so almost all of the wealthy members of the Jin clan who were traveling back and forth between Beidu and Luojing died on the road.
Only a few who knew that things were not going well from the beginning and completely gave up hope and fled to the bitter cold land of the Northern Territory barely survived, and they didn't know how they would live in the future.
War is inherently cruel, and this development was actually expected.
In fact, for Yun Caiyao and Shi Hao, it was already commendable that a war of changing dynasties could be stabilized so quickly in less than a year.
Of course, the reason why this could be achieved was also because Fairy Shengxuan and Emperor Mei returned to the martial arts world and shocked the martial arts world with their thunderous methods, which resulted in such an effect.
If they had not appeared out of nowhere, it would probably take another year to overthrow the Barbarian Court. During this year of war, countless heroes took advantage of the opportunity to become more powerful. The Chongxian Sect and the Weiba Army would certainly take advantage of this time to develop rapidly.
At this time, Li Xiuer had proclaimed himself a prince and occupied the imperial city of Beidu with his civil and military officials.
Beidu, Luojing and Xi'an are the three major capitals on Chinese soil.
At this moment, the Xuan army captured the western capital Daxing City and the central capital Luojing.
However, because Beidu is the imperial capital of the Barbarian Court, the significance of capturing Beidu is far greater than that of Daxing City and Luojing.
In general, the territories of the Xuan Army and the Su Army are still divided.
However, the demonic disaster in Liaodong has not been resolved yet, and the war is getting more and more intense, and it may sweep towards the northern capital at any time. At this moment, Li Xiuer and her officials are still unable to feel at ease.
The large number of troops pressing towards Liaodong put great pressure on logistics. Emperor Yang Yang once mobilized the whole country to attack Liaodong three times, but in the end, the ditches were filled with corpses and he suffered a great defeat.
The Su army had only recently occupied half of the territory, but the demon soldiers and generals of Morotian were far stronger than the Gao family and Goryeo in the past. This demon disaster put a lot of pressure on Li Xiuer.
At this time, Li Xiuer was in the imperial hall, discussing the transportation of food and fodder to the front line with a group of civil officials.
This war had already caused great damage to farm production, especially north of the Yellow River. It should have been the spring ploughing season, but because of the barbarian army's burning, looting and destruction, the people were forced to flee, leaving a large number of fields abandoned.
The area between the two rivers had originally experienced a great war. The Xuan and Su armies had fought against a million barbarian troops in Qinhuai, and the people suffered terribly. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were better off, having been controlled by the Huangtian Army last year, and generally remained stable with sufficient food.
But even with the Grand Canal, it would be extremely troublesome to transport grain from the south to the north in a continuous manner.
Countless trivial matters were reported to them, and Li Xiuer and the others were overwhelmed, but they had to deal with them. Suddenly, there was a cry from outside the hall, and the alarm bell rang again.
These days, Li Xiuer has been instructed by the Fairy Shengxuan, and her martial arts have improved greatly. Even so, she is still shocked.
Just because the alarm bell rang in the imperial city, doesn't it mean that the enemy has already conquered the imperial city walls? How can an ordinary person possess such strength
He hurriedly led the masters around him out of the hall, but saw that all the soldiers outside the hall were looking up at him, stunned.
Li Xiuer and others also looked up and saw the wind blowing and the clouds moving in the sky. A creature broke through the clouds and flew down from the layers of clouds. It turned out to be the legendary flying dragon.
The flying dragon had beautiful dragon scales that were white with a slight hint of pink. It soared in the clouds, its body looming in the mist.
A voice could be heard from the dragon's back: "I am Master Chongyun, and I come to see the Supreme Su King!"
The Supreme Queen was Li Xiuer. She waved her hand, asking the soldiers in the square in front of the palace to retreat, and the warriors on high ground did not need to be on guard.
Immediately afterwards, a flying dragon stretched out its head and flew down from the clouds.
At this moment, the entire Beidu military and civilians were staring at the strange phenomenon in the sky in amazement.
People in the martial arts world had long heard of the name “Hidden Dragon” Master Chongyun, but it was not until today that they learned that he actually had a dragon
Li Xiuer saw three people on the dragon's back, they were Shi Hao, Nu Nuying, and Yun Caiyao. She was quite surprised and even a little overwhelmed.
He is the young master of the Evil Lotus Sect, the demonic sect. Is it really okay for him to hang out with these beauties from the white world all day long
Although she was a little confused, she quickly invited the three people in. Shi Hao and the other two asked her about the situation of the Liaodong war.
At this time, the demon army had occupied Liaoyang Prefecture and crossed the Bailang River. Fairy Shengxuan had already arrived in Pingzhou in person, relying on the northeast Great Wall, and led a large army to confront Xue Luo's demon army.
Yun Caiyao pondered and said, "I didn't expect that even Bailangshui has been lost. If Pingzhou is lost, the demon army will be able to attack Beidu directly. The situation is probably not good."
Li Xiuer said: "The fairy knew that Bailangshui could not be defended, so when defending Bailangshui, she had already made some arrangements in Pingzhou and the Great Wall. At present, our army is still in a standoff with the Xueluo Demon Army, but Xueluo is now a demon army, a soldier, and they use war to support war, and even use people as food wherever they go.
"A large number of minorities in the north and the people in Liaoyang Prefecture and other places have been kept in captivity by them. In the northern capital, food and various resources are extremely scarce, and it is difficult to fight for a long time. If this continues, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous to our army.
Shi Hao and Yun Cai looked at each other from a distance.
For the demons in the Mara Heaven, they don’t care at all how the human world is destroyed.
But the human world obviously couldn't fight them head-on like that. Shi Hao whispered, "Let's go to Pingzhou first and meet up with Sister Ziyin."
The three of them left quickly. Li Xiuer looked up at them flying up on the dragon, becoming more and more confused.
Young Master calls Fairy Shengxuan... "Sister Ziyin"? "
Pingzhou is actually not too far from Beidu. If you ride a flying dragon and cross the mountains and ridges, you can arrive there in half a day.
When they reached the sky above Pingzhou, Shi Hao, Ming Yueshu and Yun Caiyao saw that the Great Wall was built against the mountain. A large amount of spiritual energy was rushing through it, and the surrounding mountains were dotted with stars. Although they were scattered, they seemed connected as one.
Yun Caiyao said: "It turns out that Master Zi Yin has set up such a huge magic formation here. No wonder it can stop Xue Luo's demon army."
The flying dragon descended. Ye Ziyin was a very important person. He knew Bai Lan was coming when they approached. He then floated out in a white robe.
"It seems that you have gained something from this trip!" Ye Ziyin said with a smile.
At that moment, Shi Hao took out the green lamp in front of the Buddha. Mingyueshu and Yuncaiyao also told their respective gains.
Yun Caiyao took out the Medicine Master's colored glass beads, and with a wave of her hand, holy light shone. Ming Yueshu shook lightly, and turned into a petite girl in white, holding a colored glass bottle with a willow branch stuck on it.
The Medicine Master's glass beads and the willow bottle have become their natal magic weapons.
In fact, the green lamp that Shi Hao took from the Buddha was far more powerful than the Medicine Buddha's glass beads and the willow pure bottle. If he had really realized that the four elements are empty at that time, sat in Nirvana, and become an enlightened person in this world, he could directly become a saint and become a Buddha.
From this we can see how wrong it was for Yue'er to sacrifice her beauty and forcibly pull him back from "Buddha" to human.
Of course, this is also because he does not have enough concentration. If he had enough concentration, he would see beautiful women as skeletons, and would not care about the bright moon, the little wild geese and the little magpies. In that case, all the beauties would be like passing clouds and smoke. Wouldn't that mean he has attained Bodhi? This shows that beauty can mislead people!
Because of that momentary mistake, the green lamp in front of the Buddha became just a magic weapon to him. Because he practiced both Taoism and magic, it even felt a little bit repulsive to him.
Fortunately, Ye Ziyin was also an extraordinary person. He took the green lamp, studied it carefully, and said happily: "It is indeed a natural demon-killing item! With the green lamp in front of the Buddha, the Medicine Master's glass beads, and the willow pure bottle, there is no need to worry about this demon disaster."
He added: "Mei Tao Niang has told you about your experience in the Shura Field. From various signs, it is clear that this incident has had a great impact on the King of Hell. Su Xi has led the Xuan Army to recapture Guanzhong and has begun to attack the Western Regions. The King of Hell is already avoiding the battle. In addition, judging from these signs, there seem to be other changes in the underworld.
"Yan Mo Huang's own immortal body has been broken, and the rear is unstable. The war in the northwest should gradually end."
Yun Caiyao said softly, "However, if we don't kill the King of Hell and let him return to the underworld and continue to dominate the Netherworld, there will be endless troubles. The Netherworld controls the reincarnation of the living after death, and this matter must be resolved in the end."
Ye Ziyin looked at Shi Hao: "Su Xi has an absolute advantage, but his offensive is neither hurried nor slow. He should be trying to kill the Yama Emperor in the human world, so that he can no longer return to the underworld, and then seize the Yama Seal to command the underworld. The Yama Emperor must stay in the human world, but the Yama Seal must not fall into Su Xi's hands."
Shi Hao pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
What Master's wife is thinking at this moment must be that while Sister Ziyin is busy fighting the Xueluo Demon Army here, she should seize the Seal of the King of Hell and further control the underworld.
In this way, she not only wants to seize the Seal of the King of Hell, but also needs to protect the passage between the underworld and the human world.
With her powerful strength, it would be easy for her to kill the King of Hell, seize the King of Hell's Seal, and then step into the underworld to unify the netherworld. But Sister Ziyin would never allow the underworld to fall into her hands.
In the human world, because the Xuan and Su armies each occupy half of the territory, the two of them are barely able to maintain a balance.
But the underworld is different. If Master’s wife monopolizes the underworld, she will never hand it over. The underworld has its own system. How could Sister Ziyin allow the reincarnation of living beings after death to be controlled by the Demon Sect
At that time, the two of them will inevitably engage in a fierce battle over the underworld. Once the war begins, it will be difficult not to involve the human world.
Thinking of this, he looked at Ye Ziyin and said, "The system of the underworld is best managed by the gods of the underworld, and the only god in the underworld at present is Princess Kongming."
Ye Ziyin didn't say anything more, and continued: "I also sent people to investigate the immortal axe that Mei Taoniang mentioned when she came here, but for the time being, we could not find its whereabouts, and we have no way of knowing its origin for the time being. But there is one thing that is quite strange."
After Shi Hao mentioned "Princess Kongming", she stopped talking about the underworld and changed the subject. In this regard, she and Shi Hao reached a tacit understanding.
Shi Hao quickly thought about the strange things she mentioned and understood them: "Could it be related to the 'Four Evils'?"
Ye Ziyin nodded and said, "The Four Evils have made it their mission to bring chaos to China. Various signs show that the Four Evils have all come out, and the world is in chaos. However, during this period of time, there is no sign that the Four Evils are secretly causing chaos. This is quite strange."
Yun Caiyao pondered, "Logically speaking, now is the best time for them to cause chaos. The ghost chaos and demon disasters have not yet ended, and most of the land in the Central Plains is actually just settled in the war. Now that the Four Evils have appeared, why don't they make trouble at this time? Could it be that they have a bigger plan?"
Shi Hao said, "When Yue'er and I left Yanyun, we encountered Taowu and Taocan, two of the Four Evils. Although we managed to win at that time, the Four Evils are immortal. I thought they would continue to cause trouble. Could it be that they did not appear again during the time we were heading to the underworld and Lingshan?"
Ye Ziyin said: "The more chaotic the world is, the stronger the Four Evils become. You were able to defeat Taowu and Taocan. It seems that your strength increased greatly during the time you went to Yanyun."
Having said that, Ye Ziyin looked towards Ming Yueshu, only to see Ming Yueshu standing there quietly. Although she was still as quiet as usual, her pretty face had a slightly peachy color, as if the ice flower had thawed, making her look graceful and lovely.
Under her gaze, Yue'er seemed to know what she had guessed, and her little face couldn't help but blush.
Ye Ziyan glanced at Shi Hao again.
Of course, it was she who had asked Shi Hao to go to Yanyun to find Yue'er. Although Yue'er was a master in martial arts, she was simple by nature and it was understandable that she could not escape his clutches.
Chapter 469: Liuyan Demon Marquis and Moruo Emperor
For Ye Ziyan, Yue'er is the only descendant of the Ye family after all, so she naturally cares about Yue'er.
It's just that Ye Ziyin has been in Taisu Xian Pavilion since she was young and has been practicing asceticism since she was young. She has the ability to plan and strategize, and the wisdom to be a leader, but when it comes to family affection, she doesn't know what to do.
Taisu Xian Pavilion emphasizes entering the world and then leaving it, regarding the martial arts world as a chessboard and the heroes of the world as chess pieces, and guiding the general trend with a vision above the chessboard. However, even if this method can calculate all the heroes in the world, it cannot be used for family affection.
So even though she knew Yue'er was having a hard time getting over her problems and that she was her only relative, she didn't know how to comfort her.
This is not to say that she doesn't care about Yue'er, but it is because of her concern that it becomes difficult to deal with. After all, the teachings of Taisu Xian Pavilion are to look at the world with pure rationality, but emotional entanglements such as family affection and love are beyond rationality.
As her only relatives and ancestors, they could not let her feel relieved.
Generally speaking, this kinship is too strong, yet too distant. Although they are the only relatives, they are separated by countless generations, seemingly close, but actually distant.
Afterwards, she was busy dealing with the demonic disaster. Although Yue'er was helping her, she unknowingly drifted away from her, which made her feel quite guilty.
Seeing Yue'er back here, she was no longer so lonely. Her face turned red for no reason and she looked more like a little girl.
Ye Ziyu thought to herself: “Forget it!” In fact, the Ye family no longer exists. For Yue’er, instead of dwelling on the family’s past, it would be better to give her a real home that belongs to her.
She said: "You have come at the right time. Now the Xueluo Demon Army has already pressed forward to the Northern Capital with all its might. Although I have set up a magic array with the help of the Great Wall, I cannot hold out for too long. If this barrier is breached by the Demon Army, they will march straight into the Central Plains, and by then many places will blossom and the world will be in chaos.
"Under the Moruo Emperor, there are 'Demon Marquis Hun Tian' Chi Xuan Yang, 'Demon Marquis Liu Yan' Ming Liu Ying, 'Demon Marquis Bai Huan' Ri He, and 'Demon Marquis Wan Jue' Long Gu Zi. 'Demon Marquis Hun Tian' was originally the strongest of the four demon marquises, but after he went to the underworld, he has not appeared since."
Yun Caiyao analyzed, "That day in the depths of Shura Field, when Master-shi struck at the mysterious heart, Hun Tian Mo Hou tried to seize the Immortal Axe. The heart was shattered, and a stream of evil energy rushed towards the Immortal Axe. The Immortal Axe burst out with astonishing murderous energy, shattering the boundary wall. At that time, Hun Tian Mo Hou was closest to the exploding axe light, and even if he didn't die, he must have been seriously injured."
Ye Ziyin nodded: "In fact, these days I have also been collecting those martial artists who have obtained the magic weapons and martial arts books that flew out of Kunlun Fairy Mountain. Yue Panlong and Zhao Xian, the 'Absolute Sword', are hiding in the magic circle with these masters to stop the demon army.
"The outcome of the battle in the northwest is about to be decided. The Mara Emperor obviously does not want to delay and is approaching in a large force. You returned from Lingshan with the treasure and passed above the Demon Realm on the way. The demons in the other five days of the Demon Realm have already known about this. Although I heard that the relationship between the six days of the Demon Realm is not good, if you delay for too long, the fact that you brought back the Buddhist treasure from Lingshan may not be known to the Mara Emperor.
"In this case, there is no time to lose. You can rest here today while I make arrangements. Tomorrow we will have a decisive battle with Moruo Tian outside the Great Wall!"
Shi Hao, the distant clouds and the bright moon all have no opinion.
In fact, this day passed very quickly, and on the second day, they gathered on the Great Wall.
Shi Hao looked across and saw the demon army spreading all over the mountains and plains in the distance, with demonic energy rising into the sky.
—At that time, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the murderous aura rising from the sky made the gradually hot weather seem to turn cold again.
