The gods who travel between the two worlds
Chapter 147 On Dao Bing Ge
Chapter 147 On Dao Bing Ge
Near the border, Wang Shengan and others gathered together. Unlike the army, they, a group of practitioners, took on more important responsibilities.
I saw that where the mountains overlapped, I set up the first banner and set up the camp. Looking from the height, I saw that the Buddhist and Taoist flags were also mixed, and there were various costumes to distinguish them.
At the same time, a lot of newly cast equipment made a rumbling sound. If you look closely, you can see that there are many depressions on it, which seem to be able to store some unknown things. Not long after, some garrison personnel were seen taking out a square spirit stone from a special iron box.
Immediately, a bright brilliance appeared.
This is one of the latest communication products of supernatural and technology researched by Xia Guo. At this moment, with the communication of various places, it is a million miles in an instant.
Inside the camp, Wang Shengan heard a restless sound, but his eyes were slightly closed, as if he seemed to be asleep, and there were several people sitting in front of him, such as Taoist Duancheng and several disciples of the great monk Jingyan.
After a long while, someone looked at the human being in front of him and said, "Brother Du, what you mean is that many demon kings have gathered in one place, and our methods of defeating them individually won't work?"
The person who came was Du Xingyan who had escaped from the siege, but he looked a little more embarrassed than that day. From his appearance, it could be seen that he had suffered a lot during the day.
Hearing the sound, he frowned slightly, did not speak directly, but looked at the person who came, it was a great monk, to be honest, he also knew this person, he was one of the disciples of the abbot of Cilian Temple, his name was Zhenxing, his cultivation could only be said to be at the Yinshen stage, which was not bad.
But different from the previous respectful and thoughtful, the tone of his speech now was a bit superior, which made Du Xingyan very displeased.
Of course, he also knew what was going on. After all, he was strictly a defeated general. However, such a tone really made him angry.
He couldn't help but look at the person around him. It was the most outstanding representative of Cilian Temple's generation, the one most valued by the Great Monk Jingyan, a monk named Guangde.
"Why, is this how your temple behaves?"
Suppressing his anger, following Du Xingyan's utterance, he could hear the displeasure in it slightly, almost overflowing his mouth and nose, making it known to everyone who heard it.
Regarding the experience of this person, even the practitioners in other places also know about it, and they also have some opinions on such a tone.
After all, Du Xingyan's fault wasn't serious in the strict sense. Right after he came back, he didn't see anything to say, he just acted like an interrogator. Besides, your Cilian Temple doesn't represent the official.
In this way, it is really hard to convince the public.
Realizing something was wrong, the real monk saw that he seemed to have aroused the anger of the crowd, and immediately smiled and said: "This poor monk is under the custody of the military law, and I failed to inform you beforehand, please forgive me..."
Hearing this, many practitioners present were taken aback for a moment, and then looked at their superiors, only to see Wang Shengan nodding slightly while closing his eyes.
Seeing this, everyone didn't dare to speak anymore. No wonder the special department did not speak out in this gesture.
It turns out that there are still things that everyone doesn't know.
However, Du Xingyan has already turned to the government after all, is it really good to do so?
At the side, seeing that everyone stopped talking, the monk Guangde got up slowly, and after paying respects to the crowd, he said, "This time I invited everyone here temporarily, it is really hasty, so after discussing with the Buddhists, Taoists and the government, we decided to join hands with the three parties to jointly organize supervision. In this way, everyone can feel at ease, and many things will be more transparent..."
"However, I learned from other defeated Annan Army that those people don't seem to have seen the so-called hermit masters, and even a team of special staff from the previous special department said that they didn't receive Mrs. Boa Constrictor... I don't know, what does Mr. Du think about this?"
Following the arrival of the Great Monk Guangde, everyone and Du Xingyan realized why Wang Shengan himself was silent and why Cilian Temple's attitude was so strange.
"I didn't receive it... how is it possible!"
When Du Xingyan heard this, his complexion also stiffened, and he recalled the appearance of the Youlu Immortal in his mind. Suddenly, he was horrified to realize that his memory of this matter gradually became blurred, but unlike other people, his appearance of the Boa Constrictor and the Youlu Immortal was directly blanked out.
As for the other things, he remembered them carefully. After this accident, in an instant, he realized how powerful that person was.
Seeing Du Xingyan change from astonishment to silence, the three people above looked at each other and had some guesses for a moment. Immediately afterwards, Monk Guangde stopped the truth from continuing to ask.
In fact, it's not that they don't believe in Du Xingyan, it's just that for such a big event, they expected that he wouldn't be able to deceive them. It's just that all the people they came into contact with said that they had never seen it, and they even swore directly to see if you didn't believe it. It was hard not to confuse everyone.
For a moment, seeing such a scene, the three of them suddenly realized that there might be a secret event in it.
Wang Shengan's heart skipped a beat, and his body disappeared. At the same time, Du Xingyan, Taoist Duancheng, and the Great Monk Guangde were also missing.
woohoo~
In a canyon, the gust of wind was howling and moving, and with a flash of brilliance, the figures of four people appeared here. If you look around from here, you will only see depression on the top, no blue sky, and only a narrow moment of light.
Seeing that several people were silent, Wang Shenqian's eyes seemed to be alive and active as the light in Wang Shengan's eyes flickered, and then he said slowly: "Shicai, it's hard to be a Daoist brother, if it weren't for this, even we wouldn't be able to see the existence of such a stalwart!"
As soon as these words came out, all the Buddhists and Taoists around him agreed.
Only in Du Xingyan's words did they confirm that the terrifying existence had really appeared, not fabricated somewhere.
"If Brother Dao is right, I guess it's some immortal family who just became enlightened!"
It was Taoist Duancheng who spoke, but when he opened his mouth, the people around him suddenly became suspicious.
Seeing this, Taoist Duancheng said: "I used to serve the patriarch and know some secrets. There is no one who has become an immortal in this world. After all, the ancient times are different from the present!"
"If this fairy family really came here for Mrs. Boa Constrictor, I'm afraid there must be a request. Now, for us, the real test has just begun!"
With that said, it was time to ask about something serious.
"By the way, remember that Fellow Daoist said just now that the Demon King has already met?"
Du Xingyan was taken aback when he heard the sound, then he hesitated and said: "When I came here, I got rid of the pursuit. I heard about the defeat of the Annan Army and the Siam Army on the way. But at that time, some of the monster soldiers and generals I captured were indeed scattered. But after a while, I watched the monster spirit opposite. More than a dozen of them gathered, and they seemed to be standing still..."
"Standing still...that would make sense."
Hearing the sound, Wang Shengan said, but he didn't know what kind of means he took out a few jugs of wine from his sleeves, looking at the decoration made of this sapphire-colored gourd, he knew that it was extraordinary.
"I have a supernatural power, and I can know some secrets. The generals of the demon army on the opposite side did gather together. I personally guess that the opposite side wants to copy the previous form of fighting with Tianzhu, or they are caught in an internal struggle for power!"
"Struggle for power?"
After hearing this, Taoist Duancheng who took the sapphire gourd shook his head and said: "I don't think so. If there is a struggle for power, how could it be possible to fight at this time? After all, there are no fools in the demon kingdom, especially the demon master. I heard that this demon has retreated to the second line, but I personally think that it may not be possible..."
While speaking, he took a sip, and said again: "I also know Brother Du's biography. It says very clearly that the Tuoshan Niu King is different from ordinary people. We have almost never heard of such an existence before..."
Monk Guangde saw him, and when he was shaking slightly, he said with a faint smile: "How can it be possible to know everything in this world, but the good thing is that the details of the Tuoshan Niu King are finally clear, and we also know why this guy, as a cronies of the demon master, can seamlessly connect with the lion demon emperor. It turns out that his origin is such a thing!"
"In the future, if you want to surprise us, I'm afraid it will not be easy."
In fact, up to now, everyone has a little understanding of the arrangement of the demon country, especially the careless appearance of the Tuo Shan Niu King, which is more like a bait, but I don't know what happened, it seems that this guy is also releasing water, and the demon country has not achieved the original goal.
Maybe this is the reason why the opponents suddenly gathered together and stopped attacking separately?
After all, the strength of Tuoshan Niu Wang is no stranger to them now. Except for Wang Shengan and Taoist Duancheng who are sure to win him, the rest of them will at most be a tie.
However, a few people thought over and over again, and they still tended to have some problems inside the opposite side, otherwise, it would be impossible to stop the attack at such a critical juncture.
However, when it comes to the offensive on the other side, we have to thank Earth and Star for its upgrade. Fortunately, with the expansion of Earth and Star, the territory of various countries has also expanded a lot. Therefore, although the demon country has embezzled hundreds of thousands of kilometers of land, the main population loss of each country is actually not large.
On the contrary, the main thing is military losses, which is the most important thing. Even if the mobilization of various countries is organized at this time, it will still be difficult to gather troops for a while.
Therefore, he was beaten so hastily by the demon army on the opposite side. However, there is good news. Although the demon army on the opposite side is much larger than that in the Tianzhu War, and even the equipment has improved, but it is clear that compared with before, it is more dependent on logistics.
However, there are many kinds of sources, and there are too many sources. For example, the armies of some small countries have reported that the demon army on the opposite side is powerful, but the firepower is not long-lasting.
But every time there are heavy casualties on both sides, the speaker on the opposite side will go out to fight. At this time, because there is no systematic strong man on the human army side, they can only retreat.
According to the judgment of the staff officers of the various armies, the ammunition reserves on the opposite side are probably not much. At this time, the only way to obtain insufficient ammunition is through seizure. After all, the production force of the demon country is a very touching word.
In fact, in terms of military production, it is actually difficult for many countries to achieve self-sufficiency, and outsourcing is actually the majority. Therefore, it is estimated that the demon army will not advance this time, and I am afraid that there are concerns in this regard.
After all, they will become familiar with the power of firearms after using them a lot.
"Then it looks like our team that holds the lineup is about to become the main force!" Du Xingyan sighed, and he also judged many things from the inside and outside of the words of several people.
"That's true……"
Great Monk Guangde clasped his palms together with a firm tone.
"However, if this battle is successful, our country will not only be peaceful, but also establish the future star pattern. In this way, it will be like the Han and Tang Dynasties before, and it will only be a matter of time before all nations come to court!"
"What the monk said is right..." Taoist Duan Cheng was the one who answered the words. He drank the wine in one gulp and said with a smile: "What's more, in this great world of cultivation, if you don't make some achievements, how dare you say that your family is the leader of the country!"
It is precisely because all parties have foreseen the general trend of the future that they are determined to fight at all costs, not to mention that your opponent is still an inhuman existence, so it will be more perfect.
In addition, the opposite side actively invaded the countries of Nanyang, and he was a famous teacher, almost perfect. Even, countless practitioners took the opportunity to participate in the war, and they took this opportunity to hone themselves. It can be said that utilitarianism and Taoism are both pioneers.
While speaking, Wang Shenqian's eyes suddenly moved, and then he apologized to several people, and left in a flash.
Seeing his departure, Du Xingyan was a little puzzled, but Taoist Duancheng seemed to have thought of something, and explained: "It seems that the new batch of weapons made by the research institute has arrived, and this is a good thing."
Seeing this, Du Xingyan was amazed, and then asked again, after all, if it can be called a good thing by Taoist Duan Cheng, it must not be bad.
It's just that he didn't speak a word, Taoist Duancheng suddenly took out a bronze mirror, and saw a brilliance flashing above it, and a figure with the appearance of an ancient official appeared.
Seeing this, Taoist Duancheng apologized and left.
In a daze, the great monk Guangde on the side said enviously: "Brother Duancheng has such a wide circle of friends, and he has connections with the Yin Division. I really envy my generation!"
Hearing Monk Guangde's words, Du Xingyan realized something, his pupils shrank slightly, recalling the glance in his eyes just now, he seemed to see the bronze medal on the waist of this ghost of the underworld.
It seems to read the words 'City God's Mansion Wang Qing' on it.
His mind turned slightly, and for a moment, Du Xingyan seemed to remember that the name seemed familiar.
"Wait... After the city god exam was over, there was a person named Wang Qing in the list announced by Gaocheng City of a certain state!"

Following the arrival of the Great Monk Guangde, everyone and Du Xingyan realized why Wang Shengan himself was silent and why Cilian Temple's attitude was so strange.
