In recent days, Li Ye felt worse and worse, and looked up at Hexi Changtian more and more frequently.
The Immortal War is imminent, and the Immortal Emperor's manpower has left the Immortal Court and is pressing towards the Monster Race. The monster clan is stepping up the deployment of the Zhoutian Star Dou formation, but the function of the demon-suppressing talisman is still there, and the situation is urgent.
After experiencing a period of climax, the speed at which the luck of the people of the world gathers gradually slows down. Li Ye went into the fairy garden and saw that in the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Huainan and other places, half of the people did not turn into stars, which showed that these people did not recognize him.
As for Hanzhong, Jingxiang, Chudi, Lingnan and other places, the number of people is relatively small. Li Ye has roughly calculated that even if the officials he arranges will be in place in time and the first batch of new policies will be promulgated years ago, the harvest of people Luck is not enough for him to break through the Golden Wonderland.
If there is no special opportunity, it will probably take several years to get most of the people from all over the place to recognize Li Ye by simply relying on the implementation of the New Deal step by step. And it will definitely not take several days for the immortal decisive battle in Xianyu to decide the winner.
"A special opportunity... For a major event in the world, there is no action that can bring the people back to their hearts more quickly than defeating foreign enemies and recovering the ancestral territory." Li Ye knew this very well.
He came to the roof of the main palace hall and looked west again.
"With Li Maozhen's strength, and the help of a large number of real people from Huanyinfang and Tsingyi Yamen, unless you meet an opponent who also has the same secret, there will be no problem traveling across Hexi and directly to the main temple of the Moon God." Thinking of this, Li Ye's eyes widened. Gradually low.
When the first secret realm of the Dao of Heaven appeared, Chu Nanhuai said that the aura of the Dao was divided into nine parts and scattered into all parts of the world. So far, Li Ye has won the second, Zhu Wen, Gao Pian, Li Maozhen, and Wang Jian have each won the first. The total number of people is only six, and there are three more.
Where did those three go
Li Ye frowned, and said to himself: "Hexi's immortal power is exhausted, and a new force is replacing it, and the process is far faster than expected... If Hexi is left alone, it won't be long, Li Maozhen and others may We will repeat the mistakes of Master Feihong."
When Master Feihong came to Hexi, because he was suppressed by the immortal power of the Taoist fairy court, he never really showed his strength.
After pondering on the roof for a long time, Li Ye suddenly ordered: "Come here, pass on Shangguan Qingcheng to see you!"
After Shangguan Qingcheng was ordered to arrive, Li Ye issued a military order to her: lead one hundred thousand troops westward to Qinzhou.
At the same time, Li Ye sent an order to Fengxiang Jiedu envoy to prepare food and grass for Shangguan Qingcheng, and at the same time sent an order to Shuofang Jiedu envoy to prepare the army for war.
The army is doomed to be unable to march to the west years ago. If this is the case, then only select the elite to cooperate with the monks.
...
"Li Ye sent a letter, let us find out why the power of Hexi Moon God Sect covered the earth so quickly." Li Maozhen called Chu Nanhuai over after receiving Li Ye's news.
Chu Nanhuai took a look at the Jade Slip of Communication and handed it back to the other party, saying, "We discovered something new when we destroyed the Temple of the Moon God Sect in Minzhou in the past few days."
"what's the situation?"
"The statue of the moon god enshrined in the temple is pouring out power. The strange thing is that these powers did not enter the monks of the moon god as before."
"Where did you go?"
"world."
Li Maozhen was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Recently, I feel that my cultivation power is not working well."
Chu Nanhuai said solemnly: "The same goes for Lao Dao and others."
"It seems that above the Immortal Realm, at the same time that the Taoist immortals withdrew from Hexi, the Moon God Sect completely occupied this area, and began to communicate with the temple non-stop, pouring divine power into the mortal world through the temple."
"The danger has come. If it is not resolved in time, it may cause thousands of harm. Once the power of the moon god completely controls Hexi, it will not be that simple for us to regain Hexi."
Li Maozhen understood what Chu Nanhuai meant. Once the order of the unity of immortals and mortals was established, it could not be easily destroyed. At that time, Xianfan must enter the army at the same time. But now, Xianyu has no power to occupy Hexi.
Li Maozhen was a little annoyed: "We are already destroying the temple!"
"However, the Taoists of the Quanzhen Temple are still stuck at the border, and cannot enter Hexi without the escort of an army. Without the Quanzhen Temple to reverse the beliefs of the residents in Hexi, even if we destroy the temple, it will not have much effect. As long as we leave, the gods The temple will be rebuilt."
"Now what?"
"Let Li Ye send troops to escort Quanzhen Taoists into Hexi. We can no longer go on a guerrilla attack in Hexi. We must take down a place and rebuild the belief of the people in a place, step by step!"
Li Maozhen was stunned suddenly, with a strange expression on his face: "Li Ye has already dispatched Shangguan Qingcheng, leading a hundred thousand troops to Hexi."
Chu Nanhuai was also taken aback, "He moves so fast?"
The two looked at each other, speechless for a while. At the end, Li Maozhen became even more irritable, but Chu Nanhuai laughed out loud, "Li Ye is like this, planning a strategy to win thousands of miles, always anticipating the enemy first, sometimes I wonder how he does it."
Li Maozhen said angrily: "This king is not as good as him, but you don't need to remind me all the time!"
Seeing that Li Maozhen was very self-aware, Chu Nanhuai couldn't help laughing. At this time, Chu Nanhuai finally believed that Li Maozhen was sincerely relying on Li Ye. As long as Li Maozhen is clearly aware of this problem, it is logical to have such a choice.
Chu Nanhuai was about to talk about the next arrangement, but Li Maozhen waved his sleeves and gave orders in an indisputable tone: "Next, the troops will be divided into two groups. You return to Qinzhou to meet the army. This king sits here and waits for the gods to teach The monks come to challenge!"
Minzhou is already the middle area ruled by the Tubo people of the Liugu tribe in Hexi, and the surrounding counties are all under the control of the Tubo people. It won't be long.
Now that the next strategy has been decided, which is to encroach on Hexi and replace the Moon God Temple with Taoist Quanzhen Temple, there is no need to rush to implement the plan to go straight to Shanzhou.
Chu Nanhuai was a little displeased with this division of labor, and asking them to go back to pick up people was really overkill, "We have been traveling across Hexi for several months, and we have been going all the way forward, how can we turn around now?"
Li Maozhen glanced at the old Taoist, "Can you beat me?"
Chu Nanhuai chose to shut up. It is definitely impossible to fight, but it cannot be admitted.
He suddenly thought of something, and immediately opened his eyes and smiled: "It's better to let the Tsingyi Yamen pick up people, and we will continue to sweep the prefectures and counties."
Li Maozhen frowned, stretched out her thumb, and praised: "I appreciate this arrangement very much!"
Chu Nanhuai can't beat Li Maozhen, but Song Jiao can't beat him either, so of course the dirty work is done for Tsingyi Yamen... It is not accurate to say that it is dirty work, on the contrary, it is located in Minzhou The one who is tired is the one who needs to face the Luna Cult's counterattack.
In the face of face, whether you are tired or not is not within the scope of consideration.
In the next few days, the Luna Sect monks around Minzhou City ushered in the end of the world.
...
The Wulu Mountain in Taozhou is cold and windy, and the rugged mountain roads are full of passers-by with shabby clothes and sallow complexions, especially women and children. There are no stone steps on the dirt mountain road, so it is very difficult to walk, not to mention that the snow has frozen, even the young and old are prone to slipping, let alone the old and weak, women and children.
Even if someone is behind you, slipping and falling on the mountain road is dangerous. Knocking on the protruding gravel and wooden piles can easily hurt your tendons and bones, and bloody skin is even more common.
Even if they sprained their feet and bled, these people had to get up quickly, gritted their teeth and continued to climb the mountain road. Slightly slower, to attract the attention of those monks of the Luna Cult beside the road. If it is light, they will shout and curse, and if it is serious, they will be whipped.
There is a temple on the top of the mountain, which is their end point; it is their mission to kneel down to worship the moon god and offer their tribute—even if they are not believers of the moon god religion.
This kind of thing has to be done every year, and there are always fewer people going down the mountain than going up the mountain every year.
Hu Xiaoya, who is eleven years old this year, still has yellow hair, and her patched loose linen clothes are empty, making her look more and more petite and thin, and she looks about eight or nine years old. It's no wonder that the big ladies in the neighborhood still call her Huangmaoyatou.
Hu Xiaoya, who is struggling to carry a basket much wider than her shoulders, is not lucky today. When supporting Mrs. Xu next door who fell down into the steep valley with her foot rubbed on the smooth and frozen snow, because the little person was too weak, not only did she not support her, but she was brought by the other party and fell on the cold road together. .
The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source. Download the huanyuanapp.org source change app here, and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.
Although they managed to prevent the other party from falling into the valley, they also fell on the ground and slipped for half a foot. Their elbows were broken on the rocks, the pain in their bones was piercing, and their palms were wiped bloody on the ground. Fortunately, Big Brother Xu caught them in time, otherwise she would have suffered even worse.
Hu Xiaoya, with tears rolling down her face, didn't dare to cry, she didn't even care about her wound, her first reaction was to look at the basket. Inside the basket were the steamed cakes that were made after staying up all night until four o'clock yesterday. There were 18 of them. They were dedicated to the Moon God. I didn't dare to lose any of them, and I didn't dare to dirty any of them, otherwise I would be rejected when I arrived at the temple outside the gate.
If she couldn't enter the temple, and couldn't get the wooden plaque proving the tribute given by the Luna monk, she couldn't go down the mountain. She and her family could only stay in the mountain and become slaves in the coming year.
The beautiful sister of the old Zhang family at the head of the village, the year before last, when she knelt down to worship the moon god, she raised her head and looked at the image, and was discovered by the monks, saying that she looked directly at the god, which was the greatest blasphemy, confiscated the wooden plaque, and punished their family Atonement as a slave in the mountains.
For more than a year, Hu Xiaoya never saw Zhang's sister again. It wasn't until half a year ago when I went to the mountains to collect medicine, because I was chasing a fat rabbit, I wanted to catch my sick mother to make up for it, and accidentally went deep into an offset valley, and then saw Zhang's sister... .. . corpse.
There are many corpses in the valley, to be precise, a lot of bones, scattered everywhere. The beautiful elder sister of the Zhang family was dead and her eyes were still wide open, with strong horror remaining in her pupils. Half of her body was gone, and two wolves were crazily eating her naked upper body, bloody and bloody.
When she came back from the mountains that time, Hu Xiaoya also fell ill, and she was ill for more than a month. Her mother died within two days because no one could take care of her. If Mrs. Xu from next door hadn't come to see her, she would have died too. Her father and elder brother were forcibly conscripted by the army three years ago. They said they were going to attack Guanlong, so they left their mother and son behind and never came back.
The people in the village are all Han Chinese, and no one believes in the Luna Sect. The monks say that the blessings of the gods are boundless, and belief in the gods should be pious and voluntary from the heart, so they are not forced. Therefore, the labor in their village is extremely heavy. The number of young and old people is decreasing every year, and many houses are now empty.
It is mandatory to pay tribute to the Moon God Temple at the end of the year, and there is a quota for offering. For a one-person family like Hu Xiaoya, 18 steamed cakes are the bottom line. Eighteen steamed cakes are not many, but for Hu Xiaoya, who is hungry all year round, she needs to borrow flour from Aunt Xu's family next door, and it will take another half a year to fully repay it.
Hu Xiaoya didn't get up from the ground, her face was pale, she looked at the basket with horror in her eyes, her thin body was shaking like a sieve. Half of the steamed cakes were spilled, and five or six of them were covered with wet soil, which could not be wiped off. Cannot be enshrined to the moon god.
At this moment, she completely forgot about the pain in her elbow, and her mind was full of the tragedy of sister Zhang's death, "I will become like that...I will become like that too... . . . "
