I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Next to the general was a middle-aged man wearing a snow-white fox fur hat with nine pompoms hanging from each side of the hat, strung together and hung in front of his chest.

He was dressed in military uniform, with a golden dragon-rimmed robe, a jade dragon belt around his waist, and holding a bow carved with gold feathers and pearls. Judging from the cost of his clothes, his status was even higher than that of the generals around him.

It’s just that the general’s momentum as he rode his horse and held his sword was so strong that the three armies became mere foils, and the hunter seemed insignificant.

His eyes flickered a little. He glanced at the general twice, then carefully looked at Shu Dao Nan, and suddenly smiled and said, "This is the Demon Lord. This king sees that he has an ordinary appearance and an ordinary aura. I have heard for a long time that all the evil demons in the world that have just been born or just broken are in a state of decline and need a process of growth."

"General, you are so serious about a mere demon that is still in its infancy. This is an insult to the prestige of our great country, Eastern Liao."

It turned out that this person was the King Rongliu of Eastern Liao, and next to him was the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Liao Army, Gai Suwen.

During the Western Han Dynasty, a prince of the overseas Fuyu Kingdom fled to the Eastern Liao area, gathered people, captured slaves, and established a city-state. When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he took the opportunity to attack the county seat and declared himself an independent country.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Liao Kingdom sought to form an alliance with Cao Wei and attacked the Gongsun clan of Liaodong. However, when the Cao Wei army won a great victory, the Eastern Liao Kingdom betrayed the alliance and launched a surprise attack on Cao Wei. It was counterattacked by Cao Wei and almost destroyed.

Unfortunately, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Jiuzhou has been in chaos. Except for some frictions with Murong Xianbei, the Eastern Liao Kingdom has been smooth sailing and has grown stronger again.

Especially after the Murong Xianbei were defeated and went into exile, a large number of soldiers and civilians were annexed by the Eastern Liao Dynasty, which then began to show signs of becoming a powerful country.

When the Sui Dynasty was established in the Central Plains, it went to war with the Eastern Liao Kingdom several times, forcing the royal family of the Eastern Liao Kingdom to submit to the emperor many times. However, each time they submitted, they would provoke trouble again soon after. The actual losses to the country were not great.

On the contrary, the Sui Dynasty launched several large-scale military operations, which caused great losses to the country's national strength.

But a strong military does not mean a strong royal family.

The authority of the Eastern Liao royal family has been strongly threatened by Grand Marshal Gai Suwen.

Recently, King Yeongryu announced that he was organizing a large hunting activity in accordance with ancestral customs and would take princes and ministers on the trip. As a result, the court discussed it many times, and so many soldiers were involved in going to the mountains. It can be seen how complicated the political situation is.

"Evil spirits are always treacherous and should not be underestimated."

Gai Suwen was not easily provoked and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I have communicated with the army and deployed a large force to stop him."

"Although Master Yijian is not here, Master Jiaxiang is in the capital. He must have sensed the changes here and came to help."

The titles of these two masters are not ordinary respectful titles for monks, but rather titles conferred by the Eastern Liao Kingdom. The kings three generations ago have shown great respect to these two masters.

However, King Rongliu secretly hated that these two old guys were unwilling to clearly support the royal family and help the royal family eliminate Gai Suwen.

"Hahahaha, I'm out hunting, and this so-called Demon Lord has landed before my eyes. It's a gift from heaven, destiny. If I don't take it, why should I wait for some elegant monk?"

Before he finished speaking, Rong Liuwang slapped the horse under his crotch fiercely. Purple-red flames spurted out of the tall horse's nose, and the entire head turned into white bones in an instant, as if it was wearing a bone mask.

The fire was blazing, the neighing was incessant, and the horses' hooves and tails were all in the shape of flying flames.

King Rongliu rode out wildly on such a fierce horse with such great momentum that it seemed as if he would smash through the mountains blocking his way.

This was really unexpected. Gai Suwen only thought that the king wanted to provoke him to fight the Demon Lord, but he did not expect that the king would be so courageous as to dare to fight the demon himself.

Most of the soldiers in the army were unaware of so many plots and schemes, nor did they know what the Demon Lord was. When they saw the king personally rushing towards the stranger, they thought that the king was going to hunt that person, and immediately the military drums roared and there was thunderous cheers.

King Rongliu laughed loudly on his horse, raised his hand to draw the bow, and purple-red flames ignited on his body.

It was difficult to focus on the Shu Road, and the scene before my eyes seemed like an ancient painting.

The purple-red flames of King Rongliu and his horse suddenly spread across this huge ancient painting.

Wherever the flames passed, the picture was not burned, but changed completely.

There were no grass sprouts on the ground, only arms as delicate as babies'. Thousands of bones were hanging in the woods, and the distant mountains were a pile of human heads.

The armored skeleton soldiers, with fire spewing from their seven orifices and wielding swords and guns, charged behind King Rongliu.

There were no arrows on King Rongliu's bow. When he pulled the bowstring, the flames from countless corpses and ghosts swirled towards his bow and formed purple-red arrows of light.

Ghosts cried and gods howled, and the wails continued.

"Dabie King's Arrow?!"

Gai Suwen had a flash of thought, "So he has mastered this magical power, no wonder he dared to rush out."

In the mythology of the Eastern Liao Kingdom, the King of Heaven and Earth is the ancestor god. He gave birth to the King of Dabie and the King of Xiaobie, who respectively managed the world of the living and the world of the dead.

King Xiaobie cheated and gained the power to manage the world of the living, but King Dabie was more powerful. He not only controlled the world of the dead, but also allowed the power of the dead to interfere with the world of the living.

The royal martial arts of the Eastern Liao Kingdom was named after the Dabie King. When practicing, one had to collect evil spirits and use magic tools to create eighty-eight hell illusions, known as the Eighty-eight Dabie King Palaces, in which these souls were imprisoned and tortured to maximize their potential.

After the death of each ruler, the souls in his hands would continue to be passed down. After accumulating over generations, the power has become considerable.

However, only if the king himself cultivates the corresponding immortal magical power can he take the Eighty-Eight King Palaces into his body and unleash the highest power of the royal skills.

King Rongliu took the initiative to rush out because he wanted to show his divine power and deepen the impression of the king in front of everyone, so that the attitudes of the princes and ministers would turn back to himself, and let the people of the whole country worship him as the mythical King of Dabie.

He saw that the aura of the "Demon Lord" was just two kinds of immortal magical powers, and the aura was still very unstable. Even if he could block and dodge the Dabie King's arrow, he would definitely look embarrassed.

When the time comes, when he calls on Gai Suwen to take action, it will not be a general protecting the king, but a king ordering his subordinates to pursue the victory, and all the prestige will be taken by the king.

King Rongliu had so many beautiful fantasies in his heart that he ignored the subtle changes in Shu Daonan's eyes.

"Using the souls of so many people to practice martial arts?!"

Shu Daonan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

He originally didn't mind leaving some room when confronting and fighting with the locals, talking more and getting information. Even though he was called the Demon Lord, his expression was still calm. But at this moment, his eyes were almost frozen.

King Rongliu released the bowstring, but found that his arrow did not shoot out.

The speed at which the purple-red flame was swaying slowed down rapidly, and it was fluctuating very slowly like silk.

The bowstring is rebounding little by little, and the arrow is moving forward little by little.

But it was too slow, even the bow and arrow were so slow that the horse and the man on it seemed to be stuck in a state of stillness.

King Rongliu was horrified, and his joy disappeared. He gathered all his strength and resisted with all his might, and finally felt the reason why his speed had slowed down.

In the space ahead, at some point, it was filled with circles and layers of arc-shaped ripples.

He rode forward and crashed into these intangible but powerful arcs, and even heard a strange audio sound, like the sound of a sword.

The sound of the benevolent sword is loud!
Although the sword was kind, Shu Dao Nan's hand was ruthless. His foot had already stepped on the head of the ghost fire horse, and his body had leaned forward. He grabbed King Rong Liu's face without giving him any chance to dodge. Two fingers pierced into his eye sockets, and his palm locked his cheek bones.

Click! !

Before King Rongliu could scream, Shu Daonan raised his hand and tore his head and chest apart.

When it just arrived, there was a little discomfort between the battle body and the spiritual light. The battle body itself did have only the aura of two kinds of immortal magical powers.

But when Shu Daonan got angry, his own spiritual light and the two kinds of immortal powers he possessed also merged into it.

As the head was pulled off, King Rongliu's body was shattered. More and more obvious silk ripples bloomed outward, extinguishing the poisonous fire on the souls of all the people.

Make all the invisible ghosts fly out in all directions, merge into the magnetic field of nature, and wait for reincarnation as the magnetic field runs.

The cheers of the army paused.

When the sound of the benevolent sword spread with countless ghosts, the poisonous fire and resentment backfired, causing all the soldiers who came to cheer for King Rong Liu to have negative energy enter their bodies, causing them to feel dizzy and nauseous.

"not good!!"

Gai Suwen had not expected that King Rongliu, who had mastered the Dabie King's arrow, would be defeated so quickly.

The key point is that the power that was just released was clearly the foundation of King Rongliu himself, which was transformed by some magical power of the Demon Lord.

The skills of the Eastern Liao army are all carefully designed. The army itself is nothing, but when combined with the royal family or generals like Gai Suwen into a formation, the power will be integrated and greatly enhanced.

However, it also resulted in the army's formation being unable to resist much against the force generated by the explosion of King Rongliu's foundation.

"This stupid pig not only made the Demon King fat, but also ruined my formation!"

In fact, Gai Suwen had never thought about fighting a life-and-death battle with the Demon Lord. He just wanted to wait for Jiaxiang and others to come and serve as the main force, and he would just play supporting role on the side.

It would be good if we could seal this demon lord, but if we can't, it would be a good thing as long as we drive him out of the territory of Eastern Liao and leave him to the people of Sui Dynasty to worry about.

Now he had no choice but to use his trump card. He swung his left hand into the air, threw a gourd out of thin air, and then pulled the gourd with his right hand's sword.

The mouth of the gourd tilted forward, and nine rays of light of different colors suddenly spurted out.

The Demon-Slaying Sword enlightened the Seven Souls, causing King Rongliu's foundation to vent out uncontrollably and transform into the sound of the Sword of Benevolence, like layers of waves, surging higher and higher.

But when those nine rays of light arrived, the ripples in the lines were clearly only cut into some small gaps, then they stopped in mid-air, layer by layer, and the dead silence disappeared.

It was as if those tiny gaps had strangled all the vitality of the Sound of the Sword of Benevolence and "killed" these forces.

The best fighter in the Eastern Liao Kingdom is the sword master Fu Cailin, but the best magical power in the Eastern Liao Kingdom is not the swordsmanship passed down by Fu Cailin, but this gourd of flying knives.

Ziwei Doushu, Nine-leaf Flying Knife! Shu Daonan was shocked when he saw the Nine-leaf Flying Knife.

It’s not just because of the power of the Nine-Leaf Flying Knife, but also because of that sense of familiarity.

In the myths and legends related to the Big Dipper, in addition to the worship of the Seven Star Gods, there is actually also the theory of the Nine Emperors.

Tan Lang, Ju Men, Lu Cun, Wen Qu, Lian Zhen, Wu Qu, Po Jun, together with Zuo Fu and You Bi, make up the Nine Emperors.

The real mystery of Sword Master Dugu's swordsmanship lies in using Zi Wei Dou Shu and the Nine Emperors of Beidou to calculate life and death, and fortune and disaster.

His swordsmanship at its peak could kill luck, shorten lifespan, find the weak points of all things, and break anything. That's why he was able to break the demons with his swordsmanship and seal the five great demons without knowing much about the demons' power.

However, mastering this kind of swordsmanship requires too high a level of willpower. Even for the Sword Master Dugu himself, he lost his love and affection because of it, and was no longer able to be with his beloved, which was an ominous backlash.

After this set of sword techniques was split into the sword skills of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, each still had its own flaws.

The Huashan Sanda Swords were created to protect the seal, but their true essence can only be understood after the seal is broken and under the pressure of the Xiyue Demon God.

The Demon-Breaking Sword of Mount Tai can easily make people's confidence swell and persist in doing evil; the Nine Deaths Wine God Curse of Mount Nanyue can split a lifespan into nine, and each time it is used, one life is cut off; the Tianxuan Big Dipper Sword of Mount Zhongyue is the last move, and once it is used, the soul will fly to the Big Dipper.

Beiyue's Shangqing Poyun Sword is even more bizarre. If one fails to grasp the essence of the sword technique, the lethality of this move will be even less than the second sword technique created by Beiyue's descendants.

But if one grasps the essence of swordsmanship, the practitioner will forget to use this move in the future.

If you fail to practice it, it's useless; if you succeed, it's just a waste of time.

The reason why Dugu Jiansheng was called the Sword Demon was not just because of his behavior. His swordsmanship style was indeed strange and bizarre, which was difficult to accept.

The reason why Shu Dao Nan was able to integrate the Five Mountains sword skills and practice the Zi Wei Dou Shu supernatural power was mainly because of the blessing of Zhou Guang’s karma. After he mastered it, he was also inexplicably amazed and took it as his trump card.

I didn't expect that just as I arrived at this historical juncture, I saw another person using this magical power.

"break!!"

Shu Dao Nan shouted in shock, and retreated violently in the air with his fingers like swords, pointing his sword fingers nine times in a row, repelling nine flying knives in succession.

The force of the collision between the swords had already pushed him back hundreds of miles.

He was extremely shocked. When Gai Suwen saw his response, he trembled all over. He suddenly jumped into the air, grabbed the gourd, and shouted, "Collect!"

It turned out that Gai Suwen felt the immortal power of "Purple Star Astrology" from the universe and tried to comprehend it and practice it, but he did not dare to take it on himself. He exhausted all his energy and found another way. He collected many precious materials and while practicing this set of magical powers, he also refined a set of magic weapons, the Nine-Leaf Flying Knife.

In the process of comprehending the supernatural powers, he continuously passed on his gains to this set of magic weapons. When he had completely mastered the supernatural powers, he did not hesitate to damage his own foundation and sever his cultivation, and completely transferred the supernatural powers to the magic weapons.

From then on, he could no longer use this magical power himself, but he could release the Nine-Leaf Flying Knife.

Let the Nine-Leaf Flying Knife automatically display the power of Zi Wei Dou Shu and Bei Dou Jiu Huang, annotate the death of all things, and be invincible.

This flying knife technique was invincible. The only time it was blocked was when it was blocked by Fu Cailin's sword.

But Fu Cailin won by relying on his cultivation. Even though he could block the flying knives, it was impossible for him to take away the nine knives.

As for The Road to Shu is Difficult, it has demonstrated the magical power of "Purple Star Astrology". If it collides with the flying knife a few more times, it might be able to find out something strange and have the possibility to take the flying knife away.

"Um?!"

The road to Shu was ugly. He was eager to put away his sword, and a doubt flashed through his mind. But before he could continue to make a move, a large and mighty golden lotus rain flew over from the sky.

"Amitabha, the Demon Lord has indeed descended to the world. Sensing the celestial phenomena, there is more than one Demon Lord. Is it possible that he has been sent to two different places? Or is it the difference between his true body and his clone, or his spirit body and his combat body?"

Above the golden lotus rain, an old monk wearing a gray robe and with a skinny figure fell down. His skin was like tree bark with many wrinkles, but it was not loose, but dry and tight.

Because of this skin condition, not only was his head hairless, but his eyebrows and beard also seemed to have shrunk to almost nothing. However, his eyeballs were moist and bright. He glanced at "The Road to Shu is Difficult" and sighed.

"As expected of the Demon Lord, as soon as he appeared in the world, he killed a good king. It is a sin, a sin."

Shu Dao Nan snorted unhappily: "King Shan, you are a bastard who slaughters people and doesn't even spare their souls. You think you can be called a good man?"

"Not only are you a monk, but judging by the way you dress, you are not from their country either. Instead, you are a lackey."

The old monk Jiaxiang shook his head and said, "I am not trying to defend King Rongliu. My ancestors are from the Parthians. I moved to the Central Plains and the Southern Dynasties. I also studied Buddhism in the Eastern Liao Dynasty."

"When I returned to Parthia, I was treated with courtesy by the state. I met the emperor during the Southern Dynasty. When Yang Guang was the crown prince, he gifted me the Huiri Dojo and the Riyan Temple. The king of Eastern Liao also paid homage to me for several generations. I have met many emperors and kings, but I have never intervened in worldly wars and disputes."

"The so-called good king only refers to his respect for Buddhism, not whether he is good or evil in the secular world. In fact, among the emperors and dukes of various countries, which one can be considered a good person in the secular world?"

Shu Dao Nan laughed and said, "You want to compare the bad, right? I told you he deserved to die. You told me there are no good emperors. Then I might as well tell you that I have killed more than one emperor."

"I have a monk friend. If he saw these sinful things, no matter if it was the emperor or a dog, he would probably have only one word to say."

"Evil deeds, evil plots, and treason, kill!"

Jiaxiang was surprised and said, "What you said, benefactor, does have a hint of equality among all living beings."

The old monk paused, "Yes, even though he respects Buddhism and is called a good king, he does not have the compassion of Buddhism in his actions. He has done evil and has received this karma. This is the result of the law of cause and effect."

"Only considering this matter, the Demon Lord is not guilty."

The head in Shu Daonan's hand was losing its spiritual light, but Jiaxiang didn't look at the head any longer.

Seeing that they were actually chatting, Gai Suwen could not help but remind them: "Master, evil demons kill people regardless of their status. The Demon Lord wants to destroy all living beings. In his eyes, all living beings are ashes, so of course they are equal. Master, don't be fooled!"

Shu Dao Nan asked: "So, why do you say I am the Demon Lord, just because of this inexplicable celestial phenomenon and this prophecy that came from nowhere?"

"The donor is indeed not as rampant as the demon king we imagined."

Jiaxiang clasped his hands together, and his eyeballs turned upwards, turning into pure gold, with no distinction between the eyeball and the white of the eye. He said, "Unfortunately, the donor carries with him a fundamental destructive nature towards the world. This understanding of the nature of power cannot be concealed by the donor."

Shu Daonan was stunned for a moment, then his mind turned and he finally understood.

It’s the karma of the universe!
This force formed by the mixture of reverse cause and effect and the long river of time has created a new historical channel and strengthened the power of the long river of time.

But it does have a fundamentally destructive nature, destroying the original situation of only one river channel before it can begin to grow.

The Road to Shu is Difficult. They used this power to go back in time and change the original world situation, which can also be considered a kind of destruction.

"You can sense the karma of the universe, so you should understand that the power of the universe is the same as the power of the universe. Destruction sometimes represents a good change, and it is creation!"

"Don't quibble, benefactor. How can the destruction displayed at the fundamental level represent a good change?"

Jiaxiang chanted the Buddha's name, "Besides, in this world, we have never heard of any kind of overcoming. The evil spirits and monsters in the world are all fought by cultivators like us. I don't know how many people from the Buddhist and Taoist schools, and the Confucian school have shed blood for this."

"It is said that the demons will call themselves Buddhas and destroy our Buddhist teachings. The Demon Lord just pretended that he had a monk as a friend. Is he trying to make up things again, confuse the truth, and take credit for himself?"

He began to call the Shu Dao Nan the Demon Lord again, and a strong murderous intent emanated from his body.

With his and Gai Suwen's cultivation level, it is impossible for them to be deceived by the Demon Lord, but if the Demon Lord went to another place, this intelligent evil spirit would spread its demonic energy, infecting all people and controlling the life and death of all living beings.

If you want to destroy the devil again in the future, I am afraid that all the people controlled by the Demon Lord will have to be buried with him. I don’t know how much the price will be.

"Without an antidote, the cosmic karma that is pouring into this historical node... Damn it!"

Shu Daonan's mind was in a mess. He cursed and looked up at the trajectory of the red comet in the sky again.

He had already thought of something, but he felt that the monk opposite was gathering strength for his ultimate move, so he dodged without saying a word, his body like a crane dancing in the sky, with a light and ethereal trace that was enough to avoid the light of the Seven Stars.

"I can't talk to you for now, bye!"

The Crane Dance Seven Star Steps makes it difficult to lock on.

"Duh!"

Jiaxiang shouted, "Demon Lord, don't leave!"

A thousand-foot-long Buddha light shot out from his body, piercing through the clouds and condensing into a strange-shaped magical weapon, like a long sword with a sheath, dull and without an edge, cast in one piece.

This is one of the nine great Buddhist weapons personally passed down by the Buddha, the Wanhua Golden Dragon!

As soon as this Buddhist soldier took off into the air, it caused a distant sensation, and three Buddhist lights rose in the sky.

The Glazed Sword, the Thunder Zen, and the Thunder Sound Ruler appeared in the distance and approached this side at a very fast speed.

The Buddha’s light is so vast that it seals the sky and locks the earth, but ordinary people cannot perceive it. It is as if another world has been peeled off from the real world.

Beyond the world of dust, there is the world of Dharma.

On this day, four of Tathagata's nine great Buddha soldiers appeared in the world, fulfilling the Dharma Realm and attempting to seal away the demons.

It is rumored that the Demon Lord is good at swordsmanship and has unparalleled sharpness. He almost broke through the realm, but was severely injured by the four great monks.

The Demon Lord's temperament changed drastically. He attacked again and was severely injured. He recovered from his injuries and was injured again and again. His injuries disappeared many times. The situation was extremely bizarre and frightening. Finally, he escaped without a trace.
