Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 215 Know Yourself and the Enemy, Only then can you survive a hundred battles

Hearing the past between Xuantianzong and Gu Yue, Chang'e couldn't help asking curiously: "Does Xuantianzong know about these things?"

Bai Mei shook his head: "I didn't tell him, and the two of them haven't seen each other.

This may also be a doomed result, either one will appear and the other will retreat, or they will pass by by accident.

I don't tell them, but I hope everything will go with the flow. "

"Then where is the Youquan now?"

Chang'e asked again.

Bai Mei let out a long sigh: "In the past, that old monster appeared with a certain regularity, about once in a hundred years.

After absorbing enough aura, he hid back to Jiuyou for retreat.

But since those foreign monsters came to this world, the situation has become even more chaotic, and they have been colluding with the old devil Youquan, which has made decency even more waning.

We have launched several counterattacks, but with little success, and lost many disciples..."

Master Baimei talked for several hours before giving a rough overview of the current situation.

In a word: the form is pretty grim.

It is said that evil prevails over good.

But right now, the evil way of this world has formed a tendency to crush the righteous way from all aspects.

Before the foreign monsters came to this world, the evil way headed by Youquan had already caused Zhengdao a headache.

But at that time, Youquan old monster was still afraid of Shushan, and he didn't dare to set foot on Shushan.

The Shushan faction is the leader sect recommended by Zhengdao, which is equivalent to the leader of the alliance.

Because of this, Baimei Zhenren feels a heavy responsibility.

He knew very well in his heart that if he was not sure about going to war with the Demon Dao, once he lost, the consequences would be unimaginable. Maybe the world would be completely controlled by the Demon Dao since then.

I wanted to accumulate strength while looking for an opportunity to counterattack, but unexpectedly, a group of more terrifying alien monsters rushed in.

Now, even Youquan has been tamed by the other party. He was originally the leader of the magic way, but now he bows his head and becomes a general under the other party's subordinates.

"Shortly after the arrival of those foreign monsters, Youquan finally began to attack Shushan.

It's just that this old monster is very cunning, he hides behind and doesn't make a move, he only orders his subordinates to charge.In addition, many foreign monsters also came to assist.

Most of those extraterrestrial monsters are different from the monsters we usually see.

Because we didn't understand their habits, strength, and attack methods, we suffered a lot in the beginning, and some disciples were injured or killed.

As a last resort, I used the Great Mountain Protecting Formation and activated the Ten Thousand Sword Formation that had not been used for many years, only then did I repel it.

Afterwards, these monsters from outside the territory came to attack several times one after another, and the attacks became more fierce each time, as if they were endless..."

When he said this, the real Baimei sighed again, it seemed that he was really tired.

"Well, I understand Xingjun's mood." Chang'e nodded, and comforted: "But Xingjun don't need to worry too much, we can think of ideas together.

If head-on conflict is not enough, try other methods, such as mastering their weaknesses as much as possible. "

At this time, Zhou Yu couldn't help thinking of one thing.

In the movie I watched in my previous life, Youquan came to Shushan for the purpose of entering Chiyou's blood cave.

In ancient times, Huang Di led his subordinates to fight against Chi You, but they were defeated repeatedly.

Later, the Yellow Emperor learned the technique of the Qimen Dunjia under the guidance of the Nine Heavens Xuannv. Only then did he use this thaumaturgy to trap Chiyou and kill him.

After Chi You died, his blood flowed into the ground and finally formed a Chi You blood cave with strong demonic energy.

Youquan has been looking for the entrance of Chi You's blood point, once it gets the power of Chi You's blood point, its power will skyrocket, and it will be difficult to find an opponent in the world.

Of course, this is just the plot in the movie. Zhou Yu is not sure whether Chi You's blood point is within the range of Shushan Mountain, so he can only search for it when he has free time.

After thinking about it, Zhou Yu couldn't help saying: "In my opinion, since we still don't know the opponent's strength, we should put defense first.

The Shushan faction can strengthen the mountain protection formation.

I also have a little experience in the technique of Qimen Dunjia, if there is a need for help from the Shushan School, I can do my little bit..."

Hearing this, Baimei Daoist was overjoyed: "Great, our mountain protection formation does have many flaws, and it should be repaired a long time ago."

At this time, Chang'e couldn't help frowning: "But, blindly defending is not a good way, it will only fuel the arrogance of the devil."

"The fairy is right!"

Zhou Yu nodded.

He continued: "Strengthening the defense is only the first step, to prevent the Demonic Dao from taking advantage of the gap. After we have a relatively safe protection, we can start to show our hands and launch a counterattack against the Demonic Dao from multiple points."

The real Baimei's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Oh? I don't know what your opinion is?"

"Since ancient times, as long as the world is in chaos, there will inevitably be demons everywhere.

Therefore, no matter how hard people on the righteous path try, it is impossible to fundamentally solve the problem.

As the real person said before, those monsters repelled wave after wave, as if they were endless.

The reason, I think, is largely related to today's world.

When the world is in chaos, the righteousness of the world will inevitably fail, just like a pool of clear water has turned into a pool of stagnant water, becoming a paradise for demons and ghosts to breed.

If you want to solve it fundamentally, the best way is to change the environment, making it difficult for them to survive.

Just like a fish, no matter how fast it reproduces, as long as the water is drained, it will perish by itself without touching it..."

"Well, that makes sense!"

The white-browed real person nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, what Zhou Yu said is very simple, but Baimei has been living in the world of cultivation, and he has far less feelings about the affairs of the human world than Zhou Yu.

Chang'e couldn't help but said, "However, how easy is it to change the general environment of the world?"

"It's definitely not easy, but we still have to find ways to improve as much as possible. Even if it's just a little improvement, it will be beneficial to us after all.

In addition, as the real person said before, we must try our best to find out the habits, strength, attack methods, weaknesses, etc. of those monsters outside the territory.

Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we be victorious in all battles.

Another point, I think, people in the magic way are not necessarily just a piece of iron bucket, and there will still be differences and contradictions inside.

Perhaps, there are also some who are unwilling to be enslaved by foreign monsters.

Now is a special opportunity, we can temporarily abandon our prejudices, find ways to divide the interior of the Demonic Dao, and expand the conflicts and contradictions between them..."

As far as Baimei Zhenren and Chang'e are concerned, they can be regarded as extremely intelligent people.

It's just that most of their thoughts are spent on cultivation, and they don't think about these detours at all.

After Zhou Yu said this, he was inspired and couldn't help but start to express his opinion.

In the end, an agreement was reached to strengthen the Shushan faction's mountain guard formation first.

The range of the mountain protection formation in Shushan is very wide, including the back mountain and the front mountain, which are all within the range of the formation, which is almost hundreds of miles away.

The overall design of the big formation is quite reasonable, with layers of progression, divided into peripheral, inner peripheral, core, and eye of the formation, with both offense and defense.

There is a special mountain in the formation, called Jianshan.

There are long and short swords of different shapes scattered on the mountain, the number of which is at least ten thousand.

This sword mountain is the ultimate move of the mountain protection formation: Ten Thousand Sword Formation.

To activate this formation requires at least five elders and hundreds of disciples, and the consumption of spiritual energy is quite astonishing.

Therefore, the Shushan School rarely used the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, unless the school was in danger.

Immortal Baimei personally led Zhou Yu and Chang'e around the Shushan Mountain, and introduced the mountain guard formation and various organs in detail.

According to Zhou Yu's observation, there are also many places in the Shushan School's mountain guard formation that incorporate the technique of Qimen Dunjia.

This also made Zhou Yu a little strange.

According to his understanding, the Shushan School is at the pinnacle of sword cultivation, and no one can match it.

But Qimen Dunjia doesn't seem to be inherited, right?
So, he couldn't help asking: "My real man, after my observation, the Qimen Dunjia technique is integrated into your mountain protection formation. I don't know which expert it came from?"

Baimei Zhenren replied: "According to the records of the sect, the initial scale of the mountain protection formation was not large, and neither the front mountain nor the back mountain were under protection.

Once, during the battle between righteousness and demons, Shushan's protective formation was defeated by people in the demonic way, and many disciples were lost.

Afterwards, the head of the Shushan School at that time went to find the suzerain of the Tianji Sect, and invited him to assist Shushan in rebuilding the mountain protection array.

In the process of building the formation, the head of the Tianji Sect used some strange techniques to protect the formation, and told them how to maintain it. "

"I see!"

Zhou Yu nodded suddenly.

It would be easy to understand if it was the Tianji sect. The Tianji sect has always been famous for its organ formations, so it is natural that they understand Qimen Dunjia.

However, from Zhou Yu's point of view, Shushan's mountain protection formation has gone through too long, and there will inevitably be some mistakes.

If you encounter a master who is proficient in formations and comes to sneak attack, you can use these loopholes to invade silently.

Next, Zhou Yu wandered around the mountain guard array in Shushan for several days, and drew an improvement map based on the surrounding environment.

This time, he added more Qimen Dunjia techniques.

Especially the periphery, after the transformation according to his plan, the hitting ability will be more than doubled.

This is the best solution to prevent the opponent from attacking with brute force.

The technique used by Zhou Yu is quite ingenious. At the same time, he adopts the techniques of transforming energy, spreading and rebounding, so as to eliminate to the greatest extent the force that the formation is subjected to.

Huajin, in layman's terms, is to dissolve strength.

When the formation is subjected to a violent attack, the operation of the formation will cause part of the power to go underground and spread out of the formation.

This is equivalent to adding an extra layer of protection.

Rebound, that is, to bounce back part of the force, so that the force of the attacking formation is backlashed by the force.

In this case, the strength of the formation itself will be weakened a lot, and it will naturally be more stable.

In addition to basic defense, Zhou Yu also spent a lot of time thinking about offense.

Since Wanjian Formation is the ultimate move of the Mountain Protecting Formation, can it be activated more easily and consume less energy, so as to achieve the purpose of continuously attacking intruders for a long time?

Based on this idea, Zhou Yu communicated with Chang'e and Baimei many times, and finally formulated a plan: to arrange a special formation in the mountain protection formation.

This array is called Yinling Array.

This formation was built on the Sword Mountain, and its function was equivalent to a water diversion channel, drawing spiritual energy from the outside to the Sword Mountain.

There are several specially made magic weapons that can store spiritual energy in the eyes of the array.

Once the aura is full, it will be much easier to start the sword formation.According to Zhou Yu's estimation, more than a hundred disciples may be able to support the formation at that time, and it will last at least seven or eight hours after activation.

In the past, the Ten Thousand Sword Formation could last up to two hours.

Of course, since Wanjian Formation is a big killer, it is a hole card and cannot be used easily.

So in addition, Zhou Yu made full use of the terrain in the mountain protection formation, adding two five-element formations that can be defended and attacked, and those flying peaks were also used, forming an offensive and defensive situation where the air and the ground echo each other from a distance. .

Including the demon-suppressing tower in the back mountain, its power was also invoked.

It can be said that after Zhou Yu's transformation, the mountain protection array of Shushan can be said to be as solid as gold.

Of course, this is just a plan. To complete this transformation, a lot of people, material resources and time are still needed.

According to preliminary estimates, it will take at least one year to complete the renovation.

During this period, Zhou Yu naturally couldn't be idle, after all, defense was only a stopgap measure.

……

half a month later.

Zhou Yu came to the capital.

The current dynasty was named Daming.However, Zhou Yu knew that this was not the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, but just a parallel time and space.

Although the world is chaotic, the capital city still looks relatively prosperous, and it is like two worlds with the outside of the city.

Zhou Yu came to the capital to find the root cause of the troubled times and find ways to improve it.

This is like treating a disease, you have to find the root of the disease first.

Along the way, he stopped several times to observe the people's sentiments, and he generally grasped some situations.

The Ming Dynasty in this world is somewhat similar to the late Ming Dynasty in the previous life. The emperor is fatuous, and he only knows to spend his days in the harem seeking pleasure, indulging in wine and sex, and neglecting government affairs.

The eunuch is in power, disrupting the government, persecuting Zhongliang, suppressing tyranny, and completely disregarding the lives of the people.

As a result, most of the local officials are lazy and tyrannical, blindly taking the people's fat and anointing, causing complaints from the people all over the world, and even ruining their families.

The border is even more chaotic, wars continue, and bones are everywhere.

In such a chaotic world, countless demons and ghosts naturally breed.And among these demons and ghosts, I am afraid that many of them are transformed by the resentment of the common people.

After entering the capital, Zhou Yu wandered around and walked into a street tavern.

In taverns and teahouses, there are many guests traveling from south to north, and it is easy to hear some news.

Entering the tavern, Zhou Yu sat at the small table, ordered some food and wine at random, and listened to the conversations of the drinkers around him while drinking.

It's just that these drinkers are talking about some parents' gossip, or some women's topics, which is useless.

Just as he was about to leave, two men walked in.

As soon as they entered, the tavern was immediately silent, and some people took out money and put it on the table, and they turned around and left without thinking about drinking.

Because, the two men who came in were dressed in Jinyiwei's costumes.

One of them is a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife. It looks like it should be from a hundred households.

"Second officials, please come inside!"

The man stiffened his hair and went forward to greet him warmly.

The two Jin Yiwei sat down, and one of them waved impatiently at the waiter: "Don't order food, try to serve as good wine and food as possible."

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."

The buddy responded with a cry of shock, and quickly turned around and left.
