Fu Shifeng

Chapter 327: Troops cause disaster

In a secret hall somewhere, the floor was stained with blood and filled with a stomach-churning stench. A fat barbarian with a fine, curly beard was carrying a skinny, sickly man and slit his throat with a short blade. Blood immediately gushed out. , gradually filling up a strange array on the ground.

Regardless of the blood stains, the obese Hu man knelt in front of a burning brazier and worshiped sincerely. After silently praying, he took a few pieces of charcoal and threw it into the basin. There was a crackling sound, and the flames became stronger and stronger. They shot up two or three feet, and then began to stop. It twists and turns, eventually transforming into a rough human form.

This flaming human figure jumped around, revealing a ferocious and cruel face, and uttered an ear-splitting voice: "Kang Yaluo, how brave are you? How dare you summon me to a weak sacrifice?!"

The tongue of fire sprayed in front of the fat Hu man, almost burning his beard. He quickly begged for mercy and showed a flattering look: "Ming Zun, calm down! There is a big event recently. If it can be completed, tens of millions of sacrifices can be offered to Ming Zun in the future." !”

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Ming Zun's tone was unkind and flaming, as if he was about to open his mouth and swallow Kang Yaluo at any moment.

"Something big has happened in Chang'an!" A trace of ecstasy flashed across Kang Yaluo's face: "The boy just got the news that a demon cast a spell and trapped the saints, civil and military officials, and royal family members in the Tai Chi Palace, unable to escape for many days! "

"So what?" Ming Zun was still dissatisfied, and his figure became larger and larger. The fire burned the walls and ceiling of the hall. Fortunately, the hall here was built with thick stone bricks, so it would not cause a fire.

Kang Jialuo quickly said: "The boy's mother-in-law once dreamed that red light entered her belly, and then she became pregnant with the boy. She has always said that I have the destiny of an emperor, so now may be a perfect opportunity!"

"You want to take advantage of the emptiness of the imperial court and replace it in one fell swoop?" Ming Zun asked.

"Not bad!" Kang Yaluo was so excited that his face was sweating: "The boy's manpower in Chang'an sends letters on flying horses every few days, learning that the government is now supported by Prime Minister Lu alone. If it drags on for a long time, there will still be no way. If the saint is rescued, then the world may have to change its master."

The Lieyan Mingzun didn't seem to be convinced: "Although you are a member of Jiedu, if you openly raise the flag to rebel, you are destined to destroy yourself."

Kang Yaluo showed a sly and vicious smile: "Mingzun, I have 150,000 to 60,000 available soldiers under my command, including 8,000 Yanyun cavalry. They are invincible. They will surely be able to march forward and change the name of the country!"

Lieyan Mingzun pondered for a long time, and the fire around him also eased a bit. Seeing an opportunity, Kang Yaluo quickly added: "The boy has been actively managing various contacts in these years. Guo Wanjin, one of the four wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, has been able to continuously acquire the Northland." A good horse, all thanks to the boy's support. He helped the boy to connect with the powerful people in Chang'an. If the dynasty changes, he will definitely be able to get support. Even the eastern capital Luoyang has the boy's trusted personnel, and they can cooperate with each other inside and outside!"

"You seem to have forgotten that if you can't defeat him, everything is just talk." Lieyan Mingzun said.

Kang Yaluo said: "The hinterland of the Central Plains has been at peace for a long time. The officials and the people have long been ignorant of weapons and weapons. The customs and defenses in various places are ineffective. It is impossible to stop the kid from advancing. What's more, the sixteen guards who are guarding Chang'an are extremely weak and weak. They are all a bunch of wine bags and rice bags. By then the formation will be The previous confrontation will definitely collapse at the first touch!"

Lieyan Mingzun seemed to have been convinced a lot, and no longer had the arrogant momentum before.

"Since you have this idea, just do it yourself. Why are you making noise with me?"

Kang Yaluo knelt down and kowtowed several times, with an extremely pious expression: "The boy is here today, all thanks to Mingzun's guidance over the years. It was Mingzun's blessing that turned disasters into good fortunes on several battlefields. If you want to achieve great things now, it is inevitable to be in danger. Chang'an The imperial court may not have strong troops, but if some masters are sent to assassinate me, I am worried that I will not be able to resist, so I beg Mingzun to give me more divine power so that I will not be afraid of being hurt by weapons."

"Are you brave? You want to ask for my blessing before the matter is completed?" Mingzun's voice was like thunder, and the raging heat forced Kang Yaluo to be plunged into hot soup. His skin and flesh were in excruciating pain, but he still fell to the ground and bowed his head. , endured it.

"Please give me your blessing!" Kang Yaluo did not flinch.

Lieyan Mingzun didn't seem to expect that he still had such courage, so he said loudly: "Okay! Since you want it, let's see how much you can bear?"

After saying this, dozens of tongues of fire spurted out, piercing into Kang Yaluo's head, face, seven orifices and everywhere on his body, burning all the clothes on his body in an instant, forcefully injecting divine power into his body, which was countless times more brutal than any other method of transferring power and energy. This method melted almost all the flesh, bones, bones, and internal organs under the skin.

Kang Yaluo only had time to let out a half-howl, and then his body was lifted into the air by tongues of fire. Not only his body was melted, but his soul and mind were also ravaged, and the remaining bits of human nature were gradually wiped out.

A few moments later, Kang Yaluo fell to the ground again, naked, but his body was even fatter than before, with a huge belly that could only be described as bloated.

However, Kang Yaluo's body is now covered with embossed meridians, which are orange-red like molten iron, as if what is flowing in the meridians is not blood, but hot magma.

After letting out a gentle breath, Kang Yaluo's abnormal body condition slightly subsided, but the hot air from his mouth could still scald the flesh of an ordinary person.

"Take good care of it and don't live up to my blessing." Lieyan Mingzun's voice gradually faded away, and the flames on the brazier returned to normal.

"Farewell Mingzun!" Kang Yaluo bowed, and then looked at himself again. He could feel the unparalleled power contained in his body, and he couldn't help but feel unhappy.

"Hehehe...hahahaha——"

Kang Yaluo laughed wildly, then walked out of the secret hall with his head held high, changed his clothes and went out.

At this time, there were dozens of generals talking and arguing in the courtyard outside the gate. Among them was Hu Youhan, all of whom were fierce and brave men. When they saw Kang Yaluo, they immediately stopped talking, raised their hands and said in unison:

"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief!"

Although it was winter in Youzhou, with snow falling all over the sky and frosty wind blowing, Kang Yaluo was only wearing a thin brocade robe and did not feel the cold at all, and he became more and more in awe of Lieyan Mingzun. He secretly decided that when he conquered Chang'an and Luoyang in the future, he would sacrifice the blood and corpses of 100,000 people to Ming Zun!

"Generals, I have decided to send troops to Chang'an." Kang Yaluo glanced at everyone present: "Which of you agrees and who opposes?"

Everyone in the courtyard replied in unison: "I will follow Commander-in-Chief to the death!"

"Okay, okay!" Kang Yaluo cheered repeatedly, with great pride in his chest: "Now that the saint is trapped in the Taiji Palace by evil methods, it must be caused by a group of treacherous ministers led by Lu Yan who colluded with demons. I, Kang Yaluo, accept the emperor's favor, how can I do it? Are you sitting back and ignoring me? The purpose of raising troops now is to kill traitors and rescue saints. My righteousness is mine and no one can stop me!"

"Execute the traitor and save the saint! Execute the traitor and save the saint!"

All the generals shouted in unison, and the dark clouds in the sky thundered, as if gods were beating drums, symbolizing the approaching war.

……

"Stupid pig." Kong Fangfang sat in front of the brazier and extinguished the flames in front of him with a snap of his fingers. In addition to a sly smile, there was also a look of disdain on his face.

The Lieyan Mingzun that Kang Yaluo saw was one of the identities that Kong Fangfang had been secretly managing for many years.

Long before today's saints decreed the ban on Zoroastrianism and the destruction of temples, Kong Yi conveniently used the Zoroastrian custom of worshiping fire to secretly infiltrate among the barbarian tribes in the north. No matter how powerful the imperial edict of Da Xiazi was, it could not control these barbarians traveling in the border areas.

Zoroastrianism was introduced to the Central Plains during the Wuhu chaos in China. Jiehu believed in Hutian even more, built Zoroastrian temples, and lit sacred fires. Later, they successively exterminated Buddhism. Zoroastrianism in the Northern Dynasties was also affected. After several changes, from this dynasty, Zoroastrianism conquered the world. Gradually come back to life.

From that time on, Kong Yifang began to use Zoroastrianism, and secretly pretended to be a Zoroastrian lord to cultivate candidates who could be used. Kang Yaluo was one of them, or the one with the highest status.

Kang Yaluo himself could not have imagined that even his birth was the result of Kong Fang's secret manipulation. His mother was a witch from the Tule tribe. Kong Fang followed Fu Shifeng's method of transmuting fetal essence and blood to create a human. He used this witch as the mother body and implanted a little bit of gluttonous evil blood into it, supplemented by various secret techniques. , thus giving birth to Kang Yaluo.

Of course, in order to ensure that he could control Kang Yaluo, Kong Yifang made various arrangements in his life experience. Even the collusion he thought he had with the rich and powerful such as Chang'an and Luoyang was planned by Kong Yifang behind the scenes.

Otherwise, how could he, a lowly bastard who couldn't even figure out his biological father, achieve the status of a handsome man?

If there was any surprise during this period, it was that when the current Emperor of Great Xia Dynasty first came to the throne, he vigorously suppressed Zoroastrianism, banned laws and destroyed temples, causing many Zoroastrian believers to either be exiled to the border areas, or to hide their beliefs and worship in secret.

Kong Fangfang knew very well that it was because Anquti used the name of a Zoroastrian priest to meet the current saint who was still the king of Linzi, and acted smart, which made the saint particularly afraid of Zoroastrianism.

In addition, after Zoroastrianism grew in strength in the Central Plains, it also behaved restlessly, which naturally led to disaster.

However, after this incident, there was an unexpected gain. Since quite a few Hu people believed in Zoroastrianism, they simply went north to join their original tribes. Instead, several towns in Youyan gained a new force. After being recruited, most of the strong men became what they are today. Kang Yaluo had capable soldiers under his command.

Because Kang Yaluo received divine help many times on the battlefield against the Khitans and Xi people, and because he was willing to reward his soldiers and let them plunder once they were victorious, he was deeply respected in the hearts of Youyan soldiers.

Some Hu soldiers even respected him as "The God of Hu Tianxuan", "Son of Light", and "God of Fighting", and believed that Kang Yaluo was a saint who led Zoroastrian believers to create a bright world.

Unsurprisingly, behind all of this, Kong Fang was secretly fueling the flames. He just wanted to wait for the right time to make Kang Yaluo a key step in overthrowing Daxia.

But the shady barrier that now enveloped Chang'an Taiji Palace was beyond Kong Yifang's expectations.

"Taotie, Taotie, you always give me such unexpected surprises." Kong Fangfang gently tapped the brazier in front of him. This inconspicuous brazier, which seemed to be covered with charcoal ash, was an authentic sacred object of Zoroastrianism. Relying on this object, he could pretend to be a Mingzun and show himself holy in front of the Zoroastrian believers.

After getting up and leaving, Kong Fang was now in a strange mine, surrounded by clusters of crystals, emitting a pale light that illuminated each cavern.

When they came outside the cave, they saw Sun Lingyin breathing and breathing from a high place, surrounded by purple energy, which was extraordinary.

Sensing Kong Yifang's gaze, Sun Lingyin took the initiative to withdraw her power, glanced sideways and asked, "I heard something happened in Chang'an?"

"You have been staying in the mountains these days without seeing anyone. How did you know that something happened in Chang'an?" Kong Fangfang asked curiously.

Sun Lingyin said: "I have achieved considerable success in the "Purple Supreme True Wonderful Method" that I have practiced. With my spiritual consciousness sensing the outside of the mountain, I will naturally know the changes in the world."

"Taotie is quite good to you." Kong Fangfang's tone was subtle. He noticed a flash of fierceness in Sun Lingyin's eyes. He said with a smile: "Taotie appeared again. He fought a big battle with Wen Bangzheng at Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue and took away most of Taiyi. Order, and then caused trouble in Chang'an, trapping all the royal family members, including the emperor, and all the officials in the barrier in one breath."

"Trapped? Not killing?" Sun Lingyin was puzzled.

Kong Fangfang laughed and said: "For a mortal, besides satisfying hunger, isn't it just for fun? You must have seen it before."

Sun Lingyin was too lazy to look anymore and looked at the snow-covered mountains in the distance: "What are you going to do next?"

"I had an agreement with Taotie at the beginning. I don't need to worry about Taiyi. I just want to do something about the sacrifice of the Five Mountains." Kong Fangfang looked to the south: "I just received the news that the Baiyunzi Grandmaster of Shangqing Dao has ascended and is going to There will be one less obstacle in handling this matter. In addition, Lu Yan has summoned experts from all walks of life to Chang'an, so there won't be many people who will hinder you."

"You want me to do this?" Sun Lingyin asked.

"These are the array diagrams and magical objects that need to be used." Kong Fangfang picked up a big cloth bag and threw it up.

Sun Lingyin raised her hand to catch it, untied it, glanced at it, and then asked, "You have more plans than that."

"Of course!" Kong Fangfang was quite proud: "I used Zoroastrianism to instigate Kang Yaluo, the governor of Youzhou, to raise troops. If the war breaks out, the world will inevitably be in chaos!"

Sun Lingyin's brows moved, as if she didn't expect the other party to go to such an extent. She couldn't help but frown and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will make this matter public?"

"What kind of conspiracy do you think this is?" Kong Fangfang was not afraid, and even grinned calmly: "I like to incite chaos, that's because the world is full of chaos. Kang Yaluo wants to rebel, do you think that just by relying on that? Can he make it happen on his own?

"Such a large military palace in Jiezhen, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in charge, and millions of civilians attached, how many staff and civil servants are needed to take care of it? How much money, silk, food and salary are needed to maintain it? How much of this is due to the fact that we are in Chang'an Unable to achieve their goals, they came here to seek a future? Of the many Hu and Han soldiers under Kang Yaluo's command, how many had their lands annexed and harbored resentment against the Chang'an court?"

Sun Lingyin remained silent while Kong Fangfang spread out his hands: "Kang Yaluo is indeed ambitious, but you are too naive to think that just killing him can stop this chaos. Kang Yaluo himself is afraid of being beaten by a master. Assassination, but let me tell you, if the Chang'an court really sent someone to assassinate, it would be a foolish act to allow chaos."

Sun Lingyin snorted coldly and jumped into the air. Kong Fangfang shook his head and sneered: "What a pity. If you could add more variables, I would find it more interesting."
