The two armies faced each other, the wind blew the flags, making them flutter, and the two armies were on the verge of swords being drawn.
"You have changed, Pavilion Master Su. You have become arrogant. I have watched you grow up, but I was not paying attention. I didn't expect that you would grow crooked like a weed."
Xue Qingfu stepped out of the battle formation, looked up at Su Yun floating in the air, and sighed, "You used to be modest and prudent, afraid of making mistakes. Even after you became the master of Tongtian Pavilion, you still walked on thin ice in the West and took every step carefully. But now you are arrogant and domineering, and you no longer have the charm of the past."
Although his voice was soft, it spread throughout the two camps and reached the ears of every soldier.
In the Shuobei Green Forest camp, Qiu Shuijing heard the news and hurried out of the tent to see, thinking: "Su Yun, it's him!"
He was inexplicably excited, but he immediately calmed down and ordered all the troops to be ready for battle at any time.
On the fairy cloud, Su Yun smiled and said in a clear voice, "This is still the good teaching of the general. The general and Minister Wen taught by example, and I learned about 70% of their skills by listening and watching."
Xue Qingfu's momentum was still the same as before, and he had the demeanor of a general. He laughed loudly upon hearing this and said leisurely, "I heard from people that there was an old man in Dongjun. Others practiced supernatural powers, but he practiced facial skin. His facial skin could not be damaged by swords and knives, and axes did not leave marks. Someone once resented him and hid in the road. The spirit weapon attacked him secretly, and the sword broke his cheek. The force penetrated thirty miles without touching his flesh. He died of exhaustion in his facial skin. His face was so thick. Later, he ascended to heaven and met the immortal sword, and was defeated. I heard about this and felt sorry. Today, when I met Pavilion Master Su, I realized that the old man's facial skin is far inferior to yours. Pavilion Master can ascend to heaven with his face, and the immortal sword cannot break it."
The Taoist Saint and the Buddha Saint were also in the army. When they heard that Su Yun had arrived, they came out to watch. After hearing what Xue Qingfu said, the two old saints secretly thought that it was amazing.
Su Yun laughed loudly, pretending not to understand, and said to Yingying: "Yingying, he is scolding me, right?"
Yingying showed admiration and said, "As expected of a saint, he didn't use a single dirty word. He said that the scholar was so thick-skinned that he could block the immortal sword and ascend to heaven with his thick skin."
"If General Xue's abilities could be used to improve people's livelihood and the country, the people of the world wouldn't be living in such misery."
Su Yun smiled and said, "Some people say that the Grand Commandant and the Prime Minister are leeches that have turned into spirits, sucking the blood of the common people. If the Grand Commandant encounters this Dongsou, he doesn't need to sacrifice his sword, he just needs to suck his blood, and the Dongsou will wither and die of blood loss."
Xue Qingfu laughed and said, "The Pavilion Master is just a child imitating others and learning to walk."
Yingying, Chai Chuxi, Yinglong and others could not help but secretly shake their heads. Xue Qingfu's words were extremely sharp and his satires on Su Yun were very incisive. However, Su Yun's counterattack was a little weak and he seemed to be imitating Xue Qingfu.
There is obviously a qualitative difference between the two people's verbal skills.
Su Yun also knew that he couldn't win the argument, so he laughed and said, "Fortunately, my fist is hard and big enough."
Xue Qingfu sneered, "If the name is not right, then the words will not flow. If the teacher is unjust, then he will be laughed at by the world! Master of Tongtian Pavilion, what is the reason for you to send troops to fight Yuan Shuo?"
Su Yun spread out his palm and clenched his fist: "My fist is hard and big enough! Is this reputation enough?"
Xue Qingfu laughed loudly and said: "Even if you win the world, you won't win the throne legitimately. You will be ridiculed and insulted by people all over the world and future generations!"
Su Yun was stunned.
When Qiu Shuijing was counting the troops and horses, he was also stunned. The leaders of the 108 counties in Shuobei each heard what Xue Qingfu said, and each had his own thoughts.
On the other side, Zuo Songyan's army was at the rear. Zuo Songyan, Monk Tu Ming and Taoist Xianyun came over after hearing the news. Monk Tu Ming said, "Pavilion Master Su can't win over Xue Qingfu. The old thief Xue's ability to talk is unmatched in five thousand years!"
"People today fight, and future generations write history."
Xue Qingfu said loudly: "When future generations write history, what will they say about today's events? Will they say that the Master of Tongtian Pavilion colluded with gods and demons, committed disloyalty, injustice and inhumanity, rebelled and rebellious, slaughtered the orthodox court, and established a false dynasty? Or will they say that you acted on behalf of heaven, won the hearts of the people, obeyed heaven's will, eliminated the old dynasty's problems and abuses, and ascended to the throne? The change of dynasties among mortals is a battle of people's hearts and minds. You condoned the gods and demons to conquer and cause harm, and you could not see the people's hearts and minds! You just bullied the weak with your strength."
As soon as he said this, all the children and masters of the noble families guarding Guangping started to make a noise and shouted loudly: "That's right!"
"We are competing with Zuo Songyan and Qiu Shuijing for the world, admit it! What they are competing for is the justice of the country! What they are competing for is the orthodoxy of Yuanshuo! What they are competing for is the support of the people!"
"What are you fighting for, Master Tongtian? You use gods and demons as your fighting force. Even if you flatten the world, can gods and demons represent the will of the people, justice, or orthodoxy?"
"If you are in an improper position, you will be laughed at by people for all eternity!"
…
Su Yun frowned, and the young man in yellow sneered, "You can only make noise! In ancient times, gods and demons came to the world, representing the will of heaven. We gods and demons quelled the Yuanshuo civil war, which was in accordance with the will of heaven and established a new dynasty! Little brother, with your order, we can flatten Guangping and go straight to Dongdu! The next day, we can change the dynasty!"
Taotie, Qiongqi and other gods and demons are eager to try.
Su Yun was about to give the order when Qiu Shuijing's voice came: "Master, please be patient. In ancient times, the people were weak and the gods and demons were strong, so it was okay to establish a country in the name of gods and demons. Today, the people are wise and new learning has been established, so it is not okay to establish a country in the name of gods and demons. If we still want to use the name of gods and demons, what is the difference between asking the gods and seeking help from the gods in the West?"
Su Yun stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Shui Jing is finally here. Madam, this is Mr. Shui Jing, my enlightenment teacher."
Chai Chuxi also stood up and followed Su Yun to greet Qiu Shuijing.
Qiu Shuijing quickly returned the greeting and said, "The Pavilion Master has a broad mind and came to help. Song Yan and I are naturally grateful. But if we use the power of gods and demons to push it over, it doesn't matter whether Xue Qingfu obeys or not. But for the Yuanshuo people, it's just a change of rulers. What's the difference from the previous dynasty?"
"That's right! Yuanshuo is originally a pool of stagnant water. We are stirring it vigorously in the hope that the stagnant water will come alive!"
Zuo Songyan flew over breathlessly and landed on the fairy cloud. He took a few deep breaths and said loudly: "Today's battle is a battle between humans, not gods or demons! What we are fighting for is not the orthodoxy of the world, but the people's hearts and minds. What we are fighting for is to open the people's wisdom and intelligence in the process of conquering the world, so that the people can see that new learning is better than old learning, and we cannot stand still."
Su Yun looked at the two men. Zuo Songyan and Qiu Shuijing were determined. One of them looked old, and the other had gray hair at the temples, but they both had the sharpness of youth.
Su Yun looked at the Shuobei Green Forest Army below, and saw many old generals who were also vigorous and aggressive.
He looked back and saw that the officers and soldiers on Yuan Shuo's side, although they held high positions and great power, were mostly corrupt.
The weather on both sides is completely different.
"You two are my teachers. Since you said so, I won't force you. In that case, then we won't use the power of gods and demons."
Su Yun apologized to Yinglong and the others, "My dear brothers and sisters, you have made a wasted trip. Please go back to Tianshiyuan first. If there is any change in the imperial court, please inform me as soon as possible."
Yinglong and the others looked at each other, and the young man Bai Ze asked, "Pavilion Master, how do you plan to deal with this?"
Su Yun smiled and said, "If I can't use the power of gods and demons to push it over, then I will push it over myself."
The young man Bai Ze said with a smile: "The Pavilion Master of Tongtian was originally responsible for fighting. The Pavilion Master succeeded to the throne when he was young. Today is the Pavilion Master's age to dance with elephants and use weapons. I wish the Pavilion Master a victory!"
He got up and left.
Although the other gods and demons wanted to stay, they all left as well.
The young Yinglong hesitated for a moment, patted Su Yun on the shoulder, clenched his fists, bent his arms, and said: "Let them see your pectoral muscles! Maha—"
Su Yun nodded heavily: "Maha!"
Yinglong flew away.
Xue Qingfu looked up and saw the dozens of gods and demons turning into streams of light and escaping into the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief. The ministers below him all praised him, saying, "The words of the Grand Commandant are worthy of defeating a hundred thousand gods and demons!"
Xue Qingfu laughed out loud.
At this moment, Su Yun, on the fairy cloud, held up a token high, and his voice was as loud as thunder, clearly transmitted to the ears of all the soldiers of the two armies, and he said in a loud voice: "Wenchang Academy, the first holy place of Yuanshuo New School, this is my Wenchang Token! I, Su Yun, am the senior brother of the Gewu Academy of Wenchang Academy! Although I am studying abroad and swore not to set foot in Yuanshuo, I will always keep the Wenchang Token!"
Many young soldiers in Shuobei looked up, and many of them were from Wenchang Academy, their faces flushed with excitement.
"I know that many of you are from Wenchang Academy, where you studied Yuan Shuo's new school of thought. Some of you even graduated from the Academy of Gewu, and you know my senior brother!
"I know that many of you come from rural areas. Your parents work in Shuofang City, and you can't even afford to go to school. You even work and study in the Jiehui Factory, hoping to make a name for yourself!
Su Yun's voice rumbled, wind and clouds gathered in the sky, thunder rumbled, the vitality of heaven and earth rolled in, and turned into a hundred miles of dark clouds that kept spinning!
Xue Qingfu's face changed drastically. He desperately raised all his magical power and urged his supernatural powers, saying in a stern voice: "All troops, listen up and prepare to meet the enemy! Meet the enemy!"
In the military camps of various Guangping armies, giant spiritual soldiers that guard the clans lit up one after another, and their might was unleashed!
The mighty power hovered above the camps, transforming into numerous strange visions, shocking everyone!
However, what is even more shocking is the hundred-mile vortex composed of the vital energy of heaven and earth in the sky. In the center of the vortex, a palm print is forming!
"I know some of you don't know why you want to go to war, why you want to overthrow this corrupt government? You are sacrificing your lives, your heads, your blood, for what
Su Yun raised the Wenchang Order with one hand and activated the First Immortal Seal with the other, saying loudly: "I'll tell you why! It's so that every poor child like you and me can have a chance to study!
"It is so that they can have the greatest possibility to develop their intelligence and talents, to realize their ideals and aspirations, and everyone has the opportunity to escape poverty!
"It is so that their spirits will not be bound by old learning, imprisoned by the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, or troubled by blind loyalty and ignorance. Let their spirits, transformed by their thinking, fly freely in this sky and this starry sky!
"It is for our country to no longer be defeated in wars, no longer cede territory and pay indemnities, and for our generation of people to no longer kowtow before foreigners, and no longer think that foreigners are superior and we are second-class people in our own land and country!
In the sky, Su Yun stood on the fairy cloud, his momentum reached its peak, and the power of the First Fairy Seal reached a level beyond the limits of the world!
Chai Chuxi stood silently behind him, helping him block the influence of the heavenly tribulation and the immortal sword.
Su Yun activated the First Immortal Seal and pushed it towards the Guangping camp. His voice became more and more shocking: "Today, I, Su Yun, the senior brother of the Wenchang Academy, will fight for Yuan Shuo! Please follow me!"
Thunderclouds were surging, and a huge handprint with a radius of several miles flew out of the vortex along with Su Yun’s first immortal seal.
The world in Guangping camp suddenly changed. Countless soldiers and horses rose up and flew in the air. The treasures that the noble families used to suppress their family fortunes exploded one after another!
Xue Qingfu vomited blood, his magical powers were crushed, and he flew up, retreating dozens of miles before crashing into a mountain.
He looked up with difficulty, and saw that dozens of miles away, a huge mark had been opened in the Guangping camp, like a gap left by a giant hand blasting through the city wall and pushing forward for dozens of miles.
At this moment, thousands of troops from Shuobei are rushing out from the gap with great momentum!
Xue Qingfu vomited blood and muttered, "In terms of talking skills, he may not be inferior to me, but in terms of hand skills, he..."
He spat out another mouthful of blood, and suddenly there was a slight cracking sound on his face, and his skin split in the middle.
——Gentlemen, follow me to fight! Please vote, please vote!
