Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 682 The Tranquility Before the Storm

On Cangyun Island, warships and chariots cover the sky and block out the sun, and they come and go like a shuttle. Rows of giant cannons stand above the city walls.

Tang Ning was wearing a battle armor and stood on the deck of the Fengling ship. In front of her eyes was the endless blue sky and blue sea, and the overwhelming warships stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

The real banners cover the sun, and the boats cover the sky, which is extremely majestic and magnificent.

Many large and small warships lined up and shuttled forward, like a giant beast swallowing the world, churning and surging in the clear sea.

The Fourth Army was fully equipped and dispatched to perform exercises in the waters near Cangyun Island.

From early morning to dusk, for a whole month, thousands of warships wandered back and forth on the sea, and the scene was nothing short of spectacular.

However, Tang Ning no longer had the agitation in his heart. He still remembered that when he first entered Qingzhou inland from Qinghai, he saw the army performing at sea.

But over the years, he has become accustomed to this, especially after the war a few years ago.

He no longer has the slightest fear of these seemingly powerful heavy equipment.

It's just a bulky machine with a gorgeous shell. It is far inferior to monks of the same level in terms of speed, and even worse in terms of agility. In front of monks of the same level, it is just a huge target.

If we say that the truly powerful ones are those high-ranking monks sitting in the cabin.

Tang Ning was sitting in the battle armor, and the screen on the console was constantly flowing. Everywhere she went, there were huge warships and chariots.

Since the last war, many warships and tanks of the third column have been destroyed, and countless spiritual armors have been destroyed. In the seventh regiment alone, fifty-four third-tier tanks have been destroyed, eight Tier [-] warships and chariots, the battle armor was damaged no less than a hundred sets.

This does not include the monks who died, and this loss is even more difficult to measure economically.

A total of more than [-] monks were killed in the seventh regiment, and even two stewards of the Huashen ranks lost two regiments.

There are more than a hundred disabled people, most of whom have mutilated limbs. It's okay to say that they can recover slowly with the help of the elixir of limb healing.

However, there are some people who have been injured at Linghai acupoint, the severe ones are dying, or their practice has stopped, and the mild ones will need at least several years or even decades to recover.

Fortunately, in recent years, the Qingzhou League has successively replenished supplies, including warships and chariots, artillery shells, armor and various spiritual weapons, including monks of course.

Since more than [-] monks were killed in the last battle, the Xuanmen Alliance has transferred more than [-] people from other legions to the alliance.

Because Cangyun Island is the portal heavily defended by the Taoist sect, and it is also the key point to prevent the Mubei coalition from going south. Therefore, it is necessary to give priority to ensuring that the supplies and manpower of the legion stationed in Cangyun Island reach the full standard.

Not only the Seventh Wing, but all the teams that had lost in the previous battles were given corresponding supplies.

Now there are hundreds of thousands of people stationed in Cangyun Island. There are two reorganized legions, plus the six columns of the Twelfth Legion.

It can be said that the Xuanmen team stationed on Cangyun Island is now strong and strong. In addition, the formation and defense of the entire island cannot be said to be solid, at least it is definitely a tough bone.

Therefore, after the failure of the Mubei coalition's attack last time, they did not move again for several years.

However, the Mubei coalition forces have been dispatched to the islands of Qinghai one after another. Although everything seems to be calm on the surface, in fact, the storm is coming, the dark tide is surging, and the war may break out at any time.

The fifteen regiments stationed in Qingzhou inland by Xuanmen have all stationed in the islands of Qinghai. Apart from several regiments on Cangyun Island and Qiansha Island, ten other regiments are stationed around Tianyuan Island.

Wuying Island, which was originally guarded by the third column of the Fourth Army, is now stationed by the reorganized Tenth Army.

The warships and chariots covering the sky and the sun shuttled among them, and the rear team was the front team, heading towards the direction of Cangyun Island. The one-month drill ended here, thousands of warships and chariots were in order, stretching for tens of thousands of miles , making the night brighter than the day, and wherever it passed, the powerful air currents set off huge waves on the bottom of the sea.

After traveling for more than ten days, they returned to Cangyun Island. Chariots and ships filed in from the top of the city wall, and then divided into several teams and went their separate ways to return to the station.

Tangning returned to the room, flipped through her hands, took out the storage bag, pointed it up, the storage bag swelled in the wind, and the mother-of-pearl clam inside floated out.

After so many years of relentless irrigation of the green spiritual power in his body, this pearl mother-of-pearl clam has finally grown new shoots. The originally withered branches have withered away, and the simple and vicissitudes of life on the "stone shell" have become more and more clear. New shoots are thriving.

So far, there are a total of seven branches on the stone shell that look like stone but not stone, and wood but not wood. The roots are crystal clear and brilliant like jade.

Each one is no more than half an inch high, and the stone shell has just been exposed.

This female clam can grow fifteen branches at a time, which has been verified before, but not even half of them have been born yet.

Tangning gently stroked the jade-like, crystal-clear branch, looking forward to the moment when it would grow into a mother clam and spit out the "spiritual fluid".

Just the "spiritual fluid" spit out by the growth of the mother clam made his eyes look like they were reborn, and he could see through illusions.

If you use ten times the amount, I don't know what magical effect will happen to the binoculars.

Even if it is useless to yourself, it is still valuable to others or sold.

If it can be infinitely catalyzed to help it continuously grow mussels and spit out spiritual liquid, this thing is definitely a priceless treasure.

Tang Ning put her palms on it, and the green spiritual power in her body was poured into it continuously.

It wasn't until the next night that the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted that he stopped irrigation with green spiritual power.

The night passed by in a hurry, and around noon the next day, footsteps came from outside the house, followed by a knock on the door.

A thick man's voice came: "Fellow Daoist Tang."

Tang Ning opened her eyes, stood up and opened the room. There were three men standing outside. The leader was a big man with a leopard head and ape arms. His name was Zuo Tianyuan.

The one on the left is tall and broad, with narrow eyes and long beard, named Xu Gongyuan.

On the right side is a person with rosacea nose and wide mouth. His name is Zhang Yan.

All three are monks of the second team directly under the joint team, Zuo Tianyuan is a disciple of Qianxuanzong, Xu Gongyuan and Zhang Yan are both disciples of Canglangzong.

Tang Ning has been in the alliance for so many years, and has become acquainted with dozens of monks in the headquarters. Sometimes she goes out on duty and stays on the Tianling ship for several months.

The boat was boring, and there was no fun, so they gathered together to chat, and made a few wine and meat friends, and occasionally drank together in one place for entertainment.

Although Qianxuanzong and Canglangzong belonged to the second-level Taoist sect, they were not as good as Taixuanzong, but the salaries of their sect's disciples were sufficient to provide pills and medicines.

Taking the early stage of Jindan as an example, the annual salary of a second-level Taoist disciple is almost one hundred top-grade spirit stones, so the three of them are more than enough than the top, and they occasionally drink together to have fun together.

"Why are the three fellow Taoists here? Come in quickly," Tangning said.

Zuo Tianyuan waved his hand: "I have nothing to do these days, and I am going to find some fellow Taoists to come to Fengxiu Pavilion to have fun. I don't know if fellow Taoist Tang would like to go with you?"

As soon as his words fell, Xu Gongyuan said: "After the last practice, I came back to rest for two days. I woke up today and suddenly got excited. I went to drink and chat with fellow Taoist Zuo. He proposed to find some fellow Taoists to go to Fengxiu Pavilion to play." If you want to play, we will find you Tang Daoyou."

Zhang Yandao: "I also have nothing to do, just happened to be looking for fellow Daoist Zuo and Senior Brother Xu. Anyway, the practice is not short of a day or two, it is rare to go out to play, we don't want to be with other people, let's join the team One room is better. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Tang?"

Tangning nodded without thinking too much, "Okay!"

The Fengxiu Pavilion mentioned by Zuo Tianyuan is actually a gambling house. Since all the chambers of commerce on Cangyun Island have moved away, there are few recreational places on the island, so some people will set up some gambling houses because of the business opportunities. Supply the needs of monks.

This Fengxiu Pavilion is specially used for gambling games by the monks of the Fourth Army, because it was created by some middle-level monks of the Fourth Army, so all the monks in the gambling house are basically members of the Fourth Army.

The four walked together, and called out to the other two members of the second team, one named Zheng Xian and the other named Han Yue.

They are all drinkers, and they would occasionally gather together to chat and drink, so they were quite acquainted.

The six escaped from the light, stepped out of the light curtain, and walked southeast. In less than an hour, they came to a thousand-foot peak.

The top of the mountain peak was completely flattened, and a majestic and majestic palace stood on it, almost occupying the entire mountain peak. Several golden characters were engraved on the plaque of the palace pavilion.

It is the Fengxiu Pavilion gambling house.

A few people entered the inner room, exchanged one hundred thousand spirit stones each, and spent the whole night playing in the room made of soundproof stones.
