Qixuan Mountain·Dongtian
The entire cave sky, if you look at it, is dark and different from the underworld, and it is worse during the day. There is usually a glimmer of light, but on the ground there are many peaks and canyons with rapid streams.
Terraced fields and farmland surround the mountains, and the fresh fragrance lingers. Taoist pavilions, main halls, side halls, residences, and courtyards are all lined up in rows, with white cranes flying.
As for the Lingtian where the Lingzhu was cultivated, the surrounding spiritual energy was naturally richer, but at this time it was a little sluggish. Seeing the Lingzhu's lack of energy, the Taoist who was waiting was shocked and said to his companion: "I will report to the ancestor immediately that there is a change in the Lingzhi."
In the central hall, all the true kings gathered together, all sitting upright, neatly arranged, with solemn and heavy expressions on their faces.
Although they all have light, there are differences if you look closely. They are all determined by their achievements during life. The Taoist in the middle is the first generation headmaster. He has bright light on his body, and the darkness is consistent with the sky. At this time, his eyes are closed, and his eyebrows are as smooth as jade. wrinkled.
After a long time, the first-generation headmaster opened his eyes. With a low expression and a hoarse voice, he looked at the middle-aged true monarch on the left and asked: "How are the arrangements?"
"Grandmaster, the arrangements have been made. According to the plan, the disciples have been arranged to go to various places, and one even went overseas."
As soon as these words were said, the following sect masters were all silent. The first sect master saw that no one was speaking. He looked at these sect masters and sighed: "Since you have nothing to say, prepare to seal the mountain (cave heaven) immediately."
"What?"
These sects and elders were stunned after hearing this. They did not expect that the first generation sect could be so decisive in killing. Their expressions changed, they were a little surprised and worried, and they whispered among themselves. After a while, a female sect stood up and said, "Grandmaster, This matter may be discussed, but once the mountain is closed, the disciples are afraid that there will be no room for progress."
"Yes, it must come to this point? The pollution situation in the cave is actually getting better." Another person hesitated: "Maybe our calculations were wrong. No matter how unruly Cheng Yuanzi is, he will be ours after death. How could you, all the ancestors, live in caves with us, to this point?"
As soon as these words were said, everyone hesitated. It was no wonder that they were not cautious. Although Dongtian relied on the mountains, hundreds of percent of its income also relied on Qi Xuan Sect's own energy and the incense of its vassals. This sealing of the mountains would not only prevent Yangshi disciples from progressing, And he couldn't get much supplement.
"Grandmaster, it's not good." Just when he was hesitating, there was a report outside the hall. When the first patriarch heard it, his heart moved: "Let him come in and report."
Just for a moment, the disciple entered and saw the ancestors there. He couldn't help but step forward and said, "Master, I was guarding the spiritual plant just now and noticed that there was a strange change in the spiritual plant. Not only was it wilted, but there were also black spots on it. It was suspected to be the last abnormality. The evil spirit is coming out again."
"What?" Several True Lords listened and asked in shock.
The first patriarch stretched out his hand a little, and saw a spiritual light appearing, turning into a cave. Around the cave, the Qi was light yellow with the shadow of the mountains hanging down, but there was a hint of gray and black, which continued to penetrate into the cave and was no longer pure.
"There is no need to take any chances. Cheng Yuanzi's temperament has changed. He is the headmaster. He immediately polluted the sect's temperament and penetrated into the cave. The mountain was sealed immediately." Looking at this, the first-generation patriarch immediately ordered.
"Yes!" These true kings were all momentary heroes. They were all shocked when they saw this obvious situation. They immediately understood the seriousness and responded.
The first patriarch stood up and looked at the sky in the cave: "Everyone, please help me."
The ancestors all stepped forward, mobilized their authority, and activated the formation. Immediately, spiritual light shone out. Dongtian and Yangshi, which were originally closely connected and intimate, gradually became separated as the Dongtian was activated.
Then there was a flash of light, and drizzle began to fall in the cave. As the drizzle fell, there was a sudden sizzling sound and smoke rising in many places.
Qi Xuanmen
In a small hall, a Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged, with smoke curling up in the stove, breathing in spiritual energy. At this moment, he suddenly frowned: "Strange, why did the original intake of spiritual energy decrease?"
The Taoist hesitated for a moment, tried a few more times, but still didn't feel anything. He stood up and said, "Or am I feeling restless today? That's all, let's go out and work."
Just like this Taoist, there are dozens of them, all of whom generally believe that it is because of their own reasons that they feel restless and are not suitable for practicing the Dharma. This is actually true. There are always some days in a year when they are upset and dry, and they don't take it seriously and go away.
Zhenxi County·Big Account
Zhenxi County is a big city. It originally looked spacious, but now I look carefully and see that there are troops stationed in every open space. There are soldiers standing every hundred steps along the streets in the city.
When they arrived at the camp of the Chinese army, the atmosphere was tense, a large banner stood high, three cannons were fired, the main gate was opened, and more than forty generals from two rows filed in.
Although it is said that the Chinese army marches, in fact, in the main hall, a map of the mountain and river situation is hung on the west wall, and the four treasures of the study, a penholder, a paperweight, and an ink jade seal stand are placed on the file.
On the shelf at the back were the "I am here in person" token and the Emperor's Sword. At this moment, Pei Ziyun was sitting in the middle, the prince was sitting on his side, and the rest were standing in two rows.
However, the atmosphere was quite relaxed at this time. The secretary was singing loudly about the reward, but some generals looked at it and talked privately: "Why didn't Lao Sang come?"
"Or maybe you have other errands?" The general was talking, and the secretary read: "The deputy captain Zhang Sancun, beheaded five people, was promoted to one level, and was rewarded with fifty taels of silver."
A man came forward, with a happy face, and knelt down with a bang: "Thank you, the imperial court, thank you Zhenjun. Next time, I will fight with all my strength and try to behead ten people."
The man spoke rudely like this, causing a burst of laughter. The clerk's eyes swept over him, and his eyes couldn't help but smile: "Team leader Li Hu has commanded meritoriously, recorded the file, and been promoted..."
The leader was discussed below the team leader, and the command was discussed above the team leader. The secretary read aloud that those who have meritorious service will not only be promoted, but also receive bounties. Everyone in the tent is paying attention, and after they go out, they will be envied by everyone in the whole battalion.
"I didn't expect that Lord Pei Zhen was really coming down from the stars. King Lu raised an army and many generals couldn't defeat it. I didn't expect that as soon as Lord Zhen made a move, he immediately beheaded thousands of people. Everyone under his command was promoted. Why didn't we go?" The captain outside looked at him with hot eyes, and some people said lowly. Sheng and his colleagues were complaining, their eyes were red.
"Yes, Zhen Xian killed someone." The colleague stretched out his hand to scratch his chest, wishing that he was the one who went up.
Chen Yong looked at the military appearance and secretly sighed in admiration. After the reward, Pei Ziyun's expression changed and he looked around with a hint of coldness: "I have called you here today for two things. One is to reward those who have meritorious service. This has just been done It’s almost done.”
"The second thing is to punish me." As soon as these words came out, Pei Ziyun's face turned livid, he slapped the case and ordered: "Chen Yong!"
"The general is here!"
"You go and turn Sang into a righteous man immediately, as well as the criminal generals to be punished!"
Sang Chengyi is the commander-in-chief. According to the Daxu system, he is a third-grade military commander, also known as the "chief town". He has jurisdiction over tens of thousands of troops, which is naturally different.
At this time, the generals in the tent realized that Sang Chengyi did not come because he was captured, and they immediately looked at each other with worry.
For a moment, I saw a huge noise outside. I glanced at it and saw that there were five to six hundred people, many of whom were low-level officers and soldiers. At a glance, I saw that there were seventeen or eight people, all of whom were captains or above, being arrested. They twisted their arms to the big tent, and all of them were in a miserable state with black noses and swollen eyes. Even the commander-in-chief Sang Chengyi tore off his clothes and had a swollen eye.
At this sight, everyone in the tent had their faces change color and their hearts were filled with confusion. You must know that both civil and military officials pay attention to an official body, and military commanders must maintain their majesty. This kind of humiliation is actually endless. I suddenly knew Not good.
"Kneel down!" The escorting soldier kicked him in the knee, and dozens of people immediately knelt down.
"True Lord, what crime have we committed that you are so humiliating?" Sang Chengyi looked resentful and shouted: "I am a third-grade military attaché, how dare you do this?"
"Third-grade military attache, what next?" Pei Ziyun asked with a sneer after hearing what he said.
These words were full of murderous intent. Sang Chengyi's body trembled, his hair stood on end, and sweat oozed out. At this time, he was making no progress and shouted loudly: "According to the law of the imperial court, military attachés above the fifth rank will be arrested and questioned by the Secretary." It can be tried, and the decision must be made by request."
"Three ranks and above are required to submit orders even for interrogation."
"I am a third-grade general, not to mention a conviction, or an interrogation, all must have a purpose." Sang Chengyi roared, his veins bulging.
"Haha!" Pei Ziyun listened and laughed suddenly, then stopped and said, "Okay, what you said is really good, but I'll give you two."
"First, in the army at this time, in wartime, I have the right to make decisions on the fly."
"Secondly, I'll kill you if I blame you. Why bother with an imperial edict? The token and the Emperor's Sword will do." After saying that, he ordered: "Please give me the token and the Emperor's Sword."
"Please give me the token and the Emperor's Sword." A page came out, and the soldiers handed the token and the Emperor's Sword to the case. Seeing this, not only Pei Ziyun and the generals, but also the prince had to come down and face him. The token and the emperor's sword were knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times in a solemn ceremony.
Pei Ziyun stood up, snorted coldly, looked at Sang Chengyi with cold eyes, and said, "To be honest, you were the one who was killed this time. If it weren't for you, the implication wouldn't be so big."
Pei Ziyun said, sneered and waved his hand, and saw a soldier take out a letter with a seal on it, tear it open and hand it over. Pei Ziyun didn't even look at it, and handed the letter to Prince Chengshun.
The county prince was initially hesitant and doubtful. He took the envelope, opened it and read it. As soon as he looked at it, his face turned angry. He turned red for a moment and snorted coldly: "Send it and show it to all the generals." .”
After hearing what Prince Chengshun said, someone immediately came forward and handed the letter over, and the generals looked at it with confusion.
"Hiss" Every time I looked at one, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and all of them were silent.
"You see everything clearly?" Pei Ziyun sneered and glanced around. All the generals responded immediately without hesitation: "You see it clearly."
Pei Ziyun smiled coldly and threw the letter to Sang Chengyi: "See for yourself, you have colluded with King Lu and want to fight back and use the camp as a way to advance. I can't tolerate this, and neither can the court!"
No need to look at it, Sang Chengyi was already trembling all over. At this moment, he suddenly picked up the letter, bit it in one bite, and swallowed hard. Everyone around him was shocked.
Pei Ziyun sneered: "What's the use of destroying the evidence of crime? We are dedicated to serving the country. Not only are you slacking off, but you are also spreading rumors, disrupting the morale of our army, and starting a rebellion. It is a heinous crime. Come here, pull him out and punish him immediately!"
