Chapter 191: Layout and Move, Luofeng 6 Days
Chapter 191: Layout and Move, Luofeng Liutian (asking for monthly ticket)
Chaisang is located south of the Yangtze River.
This place was once the land of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. Due to its extremely important geographical location, Sun Quan stationed heavy troops here. It was also here that he met with Zhuge Kongming and reached a decision to join forces to fight against Cao. The beginning of the Three Kingdoms began in Chaisang.
After a hundred years of development, the former military stronghold has not lost its importance. In fact, due to the continued chaos and Chaisang's location on the river bank, it has become an increasingly important water transport center.
During the Jin Dynasty, the navy was trained here, and the same was true during the Song Dynasty.
There are 30,000 soldiers stationed there, and if there is a war ahead, they can enter the river.
"It's a pity that the so-called 30,000 naval forces are now missing even half of them!"
Liu Yuanjing stood on the high platform, looking at the soldiers below. He was so angry that his face turned red and his body was shaking. In his anxiety, his old injuries seemed to have recurred.
"Cough cough..."
"General."
The soldiers around him hurried forward to help.
"Need not."
Liu Yuanjing raised his hand to stop the soldiers' actions. With a fierce look in his eyes, he looked at a middle-aged man wearing inner armor and with disheveled hair who was tied up tightly at the side: "Someone! Take this thief down and behead him!"
"Ah! Liu Yuanjing! You can't kill me. I am the commander-in-chief of the Chaisang Navy appointed by the emperor himself!"
The man immediately shouted, "You have no right to kill me!"
"no power?"
Liu Yuanjing sneered and raised a sign in his hand: "What are you looking at?"
"Restrain the navy..."
The naval commander immediately collapsed like an eggplant hit by frost.
Liu Yuanjing's face darkened, and he pointed at the naval commander's nose and roared, "You, as the naval commander, you don't care about managing military discipline. You only know how to eat empty salaries and indulge in pleasure. A good navy has become like this in your hands! There are 30,000 soldiers in total, but now there are only 17,000 people. Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are less than 10,000 people who can fight! What right do I have to kill you? Any of my subjects in the Great Song Dynasty has the right to kill you! Take him away! Behead him!"
"No! No! General Liu, please spare my life!"
Hearing the screams, Liu Yuanjing ignored them.
He turned his head and glanced at the deputy generals around him.
All these deputy generals trembled and dared not reply.
Liu Yuanjing just snorted coldly, but did not continue to kill.
This official position was only a temporary one, and it was obtained by King Jiangxia who went to Jiankang to ask for it.
Otherwise, how could he, an official of Jiangxia State in Jingzhou, be able to command the soldiers of Jiangzhou?
Likewise, he will not be in charge of the Chaisang navy for long. After dealing with the monsters in Xunyang, he will step down from this position.
Of course, the most important thing is that the matter of eliminating the demon is urgent. If he kills the main general, he can also establish his authority.
But if those deputy generals were also killed, he would lose direct control over the army and his command strength would be greatly reduced.
However, there were not many good ones among these deputy generals, and Liu Yuanjing did not pay any attention to them. He directly arranged for them to count the number of combat-capable soldiers and warships that could be deployed in each unit.
Then, accompanied by several personal soldiers, he entered the main camp.
As soon as he entered the tent, Liu Yuanjing spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then his body went limp and he almost fell to the ground. He quickly said to his subordinates beside him: "Medicine!"
"General!"
The guard put the pill in Liu Yuanjing's hand, and the latter swallowed it in one gulp. After waving his hand to let the guard go, he sat cross-legged and began to practice qigong to recuperate.
After a while, the surging blood and energy were suppressed, and he slowly opened his eyes.
However, a tall figure that came into his sight made him frown: "Who are you? Why did you trespass into the main camp without informing us? Someone, come here!"
"Don't shout, they can't hear you."
The tall figure sat on a chair nearby, tilting his head to look at Liu Yuanjing. "You have demonic energy in your body, which has penetrated into your blood. Although you have high martial arts attainments and can suppress it with innate true energy, this method is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. If this continues, the demonic energy will even corrode your bone marrow. By then, even a god will find it difficult to save you... Well, the pill in your hand is pretty good. Who made it for you?"
"Naturally..."
Before Liu Yuanjing finished his words, he suddenly rushed out, grabbed the sword in his hand and stabbed it at the tall figure.
But the next second, the figure gently pinched the tip of the sword with two fingers, and no matter how hard Liu Yuanjing tried, he could not move the sword at all.
"You can't hurt me."
The tall figure did not get angry but laughed. Seeing Liu Yuanjing's pale face, his voice changed: "Don't continue to use the innate true energy, the evil spirit will backfire."
"You...you are Taoist Priest Lu!?"
Liu Yuanjing recognized Lu Chen's voice.
The paper man nodded: "It is me..."
"How to prove it?" Liu Yuanjing asked Lu Chen to prove it.
"The jade pendant with the word Lu on it." Lu Chen said.
Liu Yuanjing now believed that the paper man incarnation was Lu Chen, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Lu Chen and his younger brother Liu Zongshu knew about the Lu jade pendant.
As the anger in his heart dissipated, the effect of forcibly using his innate true qi came into play, and his body staggered again.
"You really think your martial arts skills are too high, maybe you've lived too long, right? You haven't recovered from your injuries yet and you're just recklessly using martial arts. You're really risking your life! Fortunately, this incarnation of mine brought some pills with him. Open your mouth."
Lu Chen asked Liu Yuanjing to open his mouth, and then a pill popped into Liu Yuanjing's mouth.
Before sending the paper man to incarnate, he had guessed that Liu Yuanjing was severely injured by the monster and might be possessed by evil spirit.
With the help of Lu Chen's detoxification pill, Liu Yuanjing quickly returned to normal. This time he really believed that the paper man incarnation was Lu Chen.
"Master Lu, how did you find me?" After temporarily suppressing the raging evil spirit in his body, Liu Yuanjing asked curiously.
After he was seriously injured, he went to Yuzhang and met King Jiangxia Liu Yigong. After receiving treatment, he came to Chaisang.
In order to avoid the monsters' revenge along the way, he specially went to ask for the Taoist's Breath-Suppressing Talisman. Except for a few special people, no one knew he was in Chaisang.
"This is my incarnation. I intercepted a trace of your aura after we met last time, so I was able to find you."
Lu Chen explained, and then asked: "Who gave you the pill you just took?"
"Master Xu from the Lingbao Sect."
Liu Yuanjing did not hide anything.
Lu Chen nodded. He felt that the pill was somewhat similar to the Lingbao Sect's external alchemy technique. "Friend Xu's elixir is indeed okay, but he follows the path of talismans after all. His achievements in external alchemy are okay, but the pill he gave you cannot completely eliminate the symptoms of the demonic energy entering your body. Here, this is the pill I made. When used with Friend Xu's pill, it will only take three days to eliminate the demonic energy in your body."
Liu Yuanjing was overjoyed: "Thank you for the elixir!"
The evil spirit in his body has been tormenting him greatly during this period of time.
After Liu Yuanjing took the elixir, he asked Zhengdao: "Master, what do you want to see me for?"
Lu Chen told the story again.
The purpose was also mentioned, as well as the plan to kill Zhao Hui.
He found Liu Yuanjing pleasing to his eyes and didn't want to ruin his career.
After hearing this, Liu Yuanjing pondered for a moment and nodded, "In fact, the reason why the prince arranged for me to be the commander of the Chaisang navy is because he wanted to deal with the evil spirits in the surrounding areas. Wang Lingqi is the Grand Master of the Shangqing Sect, and the prince has long wanted to win him over. It's just that because Taoist Xu is by his side..."
"I will tell Fellow Daoist Xu about this."
Lu Chen knew Liu Yuanjing’s dilemma.
Today, the reputation of Lingbao sect is higher than that of Shangqing sect. After all, Shangqing sect is divided into two, and Xu sect and Wang sect are fighting endlessly. Not to mention preaching, even the whereabouts of the authentic inheritance is unknown.
The decline of Shangqing Sect was due to the fact that Ge Chaofu of Lingbao Sect widely distributed the Lingbao Sutra throughout the world. The reason why Wang Lingqi of Shangqing Sect committed insubordination was because he was dissatisfied with the fact that the Xu family, the direct descendant of Shangqing Sect, turned a blind eye to the expansion of Lingbao Sect.
Lingbao and Shangqing, at this moment, can be said to be mortal enemies!
Liu Yuanjing asked: "Master, do you know Master Xu?"
Lu Chen smiled but said nothing.
Liu Yuanjing suddenly realized that he had asked a nonsense question. With this attitude, how could he not know him?
Then he nodded immediately: "Then I will tell the prince right away."
As he said this, he prepared to write a letter.
Lu Chen stopped him and said with a smile: "I didn't know that Fellow Daoist Xu was with King Jiangxia beforehand. Now that I know, I can send a letter to Fellow Daoist Xu to tell him the whole story. General Liu only needs to leave his mark in the letter."
Liu Yuanjing nodded.
Then Lu Chen took out a paper crane that had been folded long ago. After muttering a few words, he asked Liu Yuanjing to take out his seal and leave a mark on it.
Liu Yuanjing looked puzzled, but obediently took out his personal seal and left his mark on it.
After thinking about it, he took out the official seal of the control officer and stamped it, just in case.
Then he saw a magical scene.
Lu Chen blew gently at the paper crane, and the paper crane really flew out of the tent like a little bird.
This time, Liu Yuanjing seemed to be in a very calm state of mind.
He had already regarded Lu Chen as a real immortal!
Isn't it natural that you have such magical skills?
Liu Yuanjing said, "Master, you can kill Zhao Hui. His father-in-law was a high-ranking official in the previous dynasty. Although Taizu did not remove him after he succeeded to the throne, he no longer has much prestige in the court and the country. Zhao Hui is a man of limited talent and has made no achievements. If it were not for the court's legal system, I would have wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible!"
This means that although Zhao Hui has a backer, the backer has no power or influence anymore.
Lu Chen understood and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I know what to do. See you in Xunyang in a few days. I will leave first."
"Then I will see you off, Immortal..."
"No need."
Lu Chen waved his hand, and then his figure gradually disappeared.
……
In Xunyang City.
At the same time, Lu Chen also learned the news from the paper man incarnation.
Then he sent a message to all parties and the plan began. Lu Chen also started to activate his own paper man avatar and began to slaughter the monsters in the city.
And the people he used all looked like monks from Donglin Temple!
It is either Huichi’s or Huiyong’s.
The monsters under his command were slaughtered in large numbers, and the Crocodile King was naturally extremely angry. He immediately ordered a counterattack.
At the dock in the city, the turbulent river water hit the dock.
One by one, the water monsters came ashore.
But as soon as they got ashore, they were greeted by countless fire talismans.
Water is the nemesis of fire, but isn’t fire also the nemesis of water?
These fire talismans that had been placed there long ago were activated when they encountered the evil spirit, and for a moment the dock turned into a sea of fire.
Countless water monsters cried miserably. They wanted to escape back into the water, but they were trapped by the strange formation and could not escape.
The horrifying howling and the smell of meat spread throughout most of Xunyang City!
In the river, a crocodile over ten feet long looked at the flames on the shore with fear.
It felt that even as the crocodile king, it would not end well if it encountered these flames!
"This is a trap! The human race is so despicable! Shameless!"
The crocodile king gritted his teeth, but after thinking it over again and again, he had no intention of going ashore to rescue his subordinates.
If subordinates die, you can recruit new ones. The river is so big, are you afraid that there will be no monsters?
But you only have one life.
He had long experienced the insidiousness and cunning of the human race. If the news of the birth of the Demon King had not spread across the country, it would not have wanted to take this opportunity to obtain more blood food and would not have ventured into the city.
And now it seems...
"We can't stay in the city any longer. We must leave the city!"
The Crocodile King was also afraid that humans would come to the city to eliminate the demons on a large scale.
Just in case, the crocodile king simply let the water flow downstream.
Lu Chen waited on the shore for a long time, but he never saw the Crocodile King.
Suddenly, Lu Chen's mind moved, and his eyes looked in one direction: "He actually ran away?"
He was also speechless.
The Crocodile King has been showing an extremely strong attitude during this period of time, especially after defeating Wang Lingqi.
Only when the army from Donglin Temple approached did the situation calm down.
I thought I could successfully capture the Crocodile King this time, but this old guy didn't follow the ethics of martial arts and ran away before the fight even started?
Why don’t you come out and fight first? Instead of running away, don’t you, the demon king, have any dignity?
"Master Lu, do we need to chase?"
The butterfly demon asked.
Lu Chen looked at the direction and shook his head directly: "No need, the Crocodile King is not stupid. The direction out of the city is the direction of the Green Snake King. After leaving the city, it is the territory of the Green Snake King. The Crocodile King is preparing to find an ally. So don't worry about it. It's best to have it. Without it, it won't affect the overall situation."
Capturing the Crocodile King is just a backup plan. Without the Crocodile King, it will not affect Lu Chen's next plan.
"Relax." Lu Chen turned his head and looked at the fat man standing silently beside him. It was Liu Bing, the chief priest of Tianshi Dao in Xunyang City.
However, the one who was controlling Liu Bing's body at this time was the man with the human face Song.
"I'm here." The human-faced man controlled Liu Bing's body and bowed expressionlessly.
Lu Chen: "When will the Jingzhou government arrive?"
"Calculating the time, it's almost time."
The human face replied: "However, this time Liu Bing was useless after being used."
Now that the hidden chess piece has been activated, Tianshidao will definitely not keep Liu Bing any more.
"He's just a small chess piece. I don't plan to keep him any longer."
Lu Chen said calmly: "Has the Heavenly Palace King of Hell in Xunyang City arrived now?"
"Yes, sir."
The man with the face nodded: "The King of Hell who came is Nanming Gong, the Seventh Heavenly Palace of Zongling in the Six Heavens of Luofeng."
The word "King of Hell" was introduced to the Central Plains after Buddhism entered the Central Plains. It was originally the word "Yammo".
It was later accepted by many Taoist sects and renamed as King Yama, replacing the title of King of Ghosts.
Of course, there is no such thing as the Ten Kings of Hell, there are only the Six Heavenly Residences of the Ghosts and Gods of Luofeng!
After all, Taoism also needs its own system of ghosts as a form of incense and faith.
In this system, the Six Heavens system of Tianshi Dao performs the best. On the one hand, it publicizes the evil of the Six Heavens. However, while ordinary people are afraid of the ghosts of the Six Heavens, the power of incense and fear has already entered the Six Heavens and is used to nourish the ghosts of the Six Heavens.
The six heavenly ghosts refer to the ghosts that have passed away. According to the Taoist teachings before the emergence of Tianshi Dao, these six heavenly ghosts were actually gods, and some of them were the ancestral gods of ordinary people.
When Zhang Ling destroyed the mountains and temples, he not only attacked the demons and monsters, but also wanted to attack the ancestral gods as well.
But the result was naturally impossible. The ancestral gods were different from those wild ghosts in the mountains and forests. No one would let Zhang Ling dig up their own ancestral graves, so Luo Feng Liutian appeared.
Only with the six gods of Luofeng Mountain governing the ghosts can the world become more peaceful.
The Six Heavens of Luofeng are also known as the Six Palaces, which are: the first palace is Zhou Jueyin Palace, followed by Dongxing, the second palace is Taisha Liangshi Zong Palace, the third palace is Mingchen Naifan Wucheng Palace, the fourth palace is Tianzhao Zuiqi Palace, the fifth palace is Zongling Qifei Palace and the sixth palace is Gansi Lianwanlu Palace.
The masters of the six heavenly palaces are Emperor Beitai, Lord Beidou, Duke Dongming, Duke Ximing, Duke Nanming and Duke Beiming.
The Tianshi Dao controls the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Daoist lineage on earth, and controls the Luofeng Mountain, which is known as the Six Heavenly Ghosts, within the Yin-Yang world. It is considered to be an extremely powerful force in both the black and white worlds of the cultivation world.
Of course, the Tianshi Dao claimed to be in charge of the Six Heavens, but this was only because it had helped promote the Six Heavens during the periods of Zhang Ling and Zhang Heng, and therefore had a long history with Luofeng Mountain.
However, the real Luofeng Liutian is not actually a subordinate force of the Tianshi Dao. There are also people in other Taoist sects who can have their say over Luofeng Liutian.
The 'Dongshan Divine Curse' of the Lingbao Sect can communicate with the ghosts and gods of the Six Heavens of Luofeng through the sect's ancestor in the Yin-Yang world.
It’s just that Tianshi Dao is closer to Luofeng Liutian.
The one who came this time was Lord Shao of Nanming, one of the six heavenly masters of Luofeng.
"Is it Lord Nanming himself?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.
The human face nodded and said, "Nan Ming Gong, the Sixth Lord of Luofeng, has recently awakened and went to Longhu Mountain to visit friends. He happened to hear about this, so he volunteered to come here to take a look."
"This is interesting. Would the Sixth Lord of Luofeng take the initiative to visit his friends? Moreover, even the Patriarch Zhang Ling is only a junior of Lord Nanming. How can he mention the word 'friend'?" Lu Chen smiled strangely.
I’m afraid Luo Feng Liutian has also smelled the food and is ready to get a piece of the pie?
"The same is true of the speculation about Lord Nanming in Longhu Mountain..."
The human face said, "Nanming Gong Shao Gong Shi lived thousands of years ago. They survived by relying on the power of incense, but the dynasties they belonged to have been extinct. The reduction of the power of incense has also had a great impact on them. I'm afraid that now... they don't have much spiritual intelligence left. Sleeping is just a way to reduce the distortion. There are very few methods that can effectively affect their consciousness. Perhaps they also want to get some treasures from the cave to alleviate their own situation."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows: "I remember that you are from Zhouchu, right? What do you think of Shao Gongshi?"
After a long silence, the man said slowly, "Mr. Shao is one of the three dukes, and I am just a nobody without a surname. However, everyone says that Mr. Shao is a good man."
Ren Liansong and Shao Gongshi are really from the same era.
The human-faced pine lived in the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty, and so did Shao Gongshi.
Many people are not familiar with the name Shao Gongshi, but many people will know his father and brother.
Shao Gong, whose surname was Ji and whose name was Shi, was the concubine's son of King Wen of Zhou and the half-brother of King Wu of Zhou.
Before his death, King Wu of Zhou entrusted King Cheng of Zhou to four important ministers, who were later revered as the "Four Sages of the Early Zhou Dynasty", and Shao Gongshi was one of them.
According to the Mingtang ritual, Duke Zhou Dan was the chief minister, standing in front of King Cheng of Zhou, responsible for guiding King Cheng of Zhou, and his name was "Da Qian Yi".
Jiang Taigong's status was second only to Zhou Gongdan. He stood on the left of King Cheng of Zhou and was responsible for supervising King Cheng of Zhou. His name was "Da Zuo Fu".
Shao Gongshi's status was second only to Jiang Taigong. He stood on the right side of King Cheng of Zhou and was responsible for correcting King Cheng of Zhou's mistakes. His name was "Da Youbi".
One can imagine how high Shao Gongshi's status was at that time, enough to be on par with Zhou Gongdan and Jiang Taigong!
It was also because of the positions of Jiang Taigong and Shao Gongshi that they were later named "Zuo Fu You Bi".
Among the six masters of Luofeng, the Zhou Dynasty occupied the main position of the three major heavenly palaces.
The lord of the second palace, Taisha Liangshi Zong Palace, is Beidou Jun King Wu of Zhou; the lord of the fourth palace, Tianzhao Zuiqi Palace, is Ximing Duke King Wen of Zhou; and the lord of the fifth palace, Zongling Qifei Palace, is Nanming Duke Shao Gongshi.
These three people alone have already occupied half of Luo Feng Liutian's power.
The human face has a complicated expression, that's it.
He lived his whole life without even having a surname, and was definitely a member of the common people.
But Shao Gongshi was different. He was a member of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, a key minister of the founding of the country, and a minister for four generations. He was of a completely different class from Ren Liansong.
"Haha, even if we are not of the same class, but we can still see each other after a thousand years. Doesn't this also represent your success?"
Lu Chen noticed the loneliness on the man's face and said with a smile, "Look at Zhou Gongdan, Jiang Taigong and others. Even those who were more famous than Shao Gongshi and masters of cultivation did not live to this era a thousand years later, did they?"
The human face nodded.
Seeing this, Lu Chen continued, "Don't you have a surname? If you don't mind, you can take my surname and call me Lu Song from now on."
The man with the human face was stunned at first, then he immediately controlled Liu Bing's body and knelt on the ground: "Lu Song, thank you for the surname!"
Lu Chen waved his hand: "Okay, it's just a surname. This is no longer the Zhou Dynasty. Everyone has a name... Let's talk business. What do you mean when you say Shao Gongshi is a good person?"
The face of the man was loose... Oh, no, it was Lu Song who controlled Liu Bing to stand up and said, "Shao Gongshi is a member of the royal family, but he is different from Zhou Gongdan, Bi Gonggao and others. King Wen of Zhou never recognized the identity of this bastard until King Wu defeated King Zhou. His talent began to rise in the army and showed his talent. After King Wu died, his son Ji Song succeeded to the throne. However, the king was still young at that time, so Zhou Gongdan acted as the regent. Ji Shi suspected his intentions, so Zhou Gongdan wrote the article "Jun Shi" to express his feelings, which made Shao Gongshi let down his guard."
"Your tone just now wasn't just about that, was it?"
Lu Chen looked at Lu Song.
The latter nodded: "In fact, when Zhou Gongdan was regent, many people had objections to him. Jiang Taigong was not actually appointed as an important minister by King Wu at that time, so in terms of reputation, there were very few people who could check and balance Zhou Gongdan. Shao Gongshi was one of them. At that time, there were rumors that Shao Gongshi was one of the culprits who forced Guan Shu and others to launch the Three Supervisors Rebellion in order to prevent Zhou Gongdan from seizing power and replacing King Cheng to establish himself. Shao Gongshi's method could not only completely eliminate the risk of Zhou Gongdan seizing power, but also take the opportunity to completely eliminate Wu Geng and other merchants, descendants of the Shang Dynasty, and stabilize the eastern land at that time. Of course, this is just a rumor among the people."
"Although it's just a rumor, there's no smoke without fire."
Lu Chen smiled.
Later generations have always praised the Zhou Dynasty because it pioneered etiquette. Therefore, people believe that in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, everyone must have been a big family that loved each other.
For example, King Wu of Zhou, Duke of Zhou, Jiang Taigong, Shao Gongshi...these important ministers who founded the early Zhou Dynasty were almost all perfect.
The Four Saints of the Early Zhou Dynasty established themselves in a sacred position like that in heaven. They were perfect and were the representatives of many wise ministers in later generations.
However, among those in the upper class, how many are truly good?
Can those who are truly good reach high positions?
Don't even think about it, it's impossible!
