Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Spring goes to winter, cold comes and summer comes, time flies by like a white horse, and more than ten years have passed in a flash.

During this period, troops of the Mubei Allied Forces poured into Donglai County continuously. In addition to Yuanxian, Zuozong and Luzhi counties that had been occupied by them, Tianquan and Yuguan counties were also lost one after another.

Of the nine counties in Donglai County, five have been lost. However, the Mubei Allied Forces have not stopped there and are still sending troops to attack Yunlan, Fengyuan and Baiyun counties adjacent to their occupied area, intending to encircle Donglai County and encircle Donglai County. Lai County was completely isolated, and then the coalition forces stationed in Donglai County were eaten in one bite.

Over the years, the coalition forces and the Mubei coalition have fought countless battles, both large and small, with few victories and many defeats.

The biggest victory of the coalition was three years ago. After the Mubei Blue Army captured Yuguan County, Qingjiao King Xuanzhen led his army to Donglai County, but was defeated by the coalition forces. Jiang Yu, the master of Xuande Palace in Donglai County, He personally beheaded a Mubei Mahayana monk, halting the retreat of the coalition forces, and also frightened the Mubei coalition forces.

Unable to attack Donglai County, the Mubei Allied Forces launched a large-circle encroachment strategy, and then turned to Yunlan, Baiyun, and Fengyuan counties to launch an offensive.

………

In the majestic and majestic meeting hall of Donglai County, senior officials of the coalition frontline headquarters gathered together.

"Everyone is here. We are summoning everyone for discussion today. We have an important matter to discuss." Jiang Yu, the master of Xuande Hall of Taixuanzong, took his seat and looked at the next man with slightly white temples, an old man with pine-shaped crane bones and said: "Fellow Daoist Feng, please tell everyone the information your department has obtained first!"

"Okay. According to reliable intelligence, Mubei Demon is recruiting troops in its homeland and has expanded six legions of reserves. Half a month ago, Mubei Demon's three legions stationed in Qinghai entered Yuanxian County. Peacock King Yunfei led Huang Yixing of the Heavenly Demon Sect and Yu Jiayuan of the Buddha Heart Sect also followed the army to the front line. "The person who spoke was Feng Hongcheng, a senior member of the Netherworld Sea Organization and the general manager in charge of the coalition's intelligence affairs.

Zhu Ziqing, the leader of the Jingyue Sect, answered: "Mubei has been increasing its troops recently, and the three demon kings have reached the second. It seems that they are bound to win over Donglai County. I am afraid it will be difficult to stop them with the troops we have on hand. We need to invite you." Fellow Taoist Han will have to send troops for reinforcements.”

Jiang Yu said: "I'm afraid it is impossible to increase the number of troops. The day before yesterday, I got a letter from the leader of our sect, requesting the monks above the management level of each hall and courtyard of our sect to return to the sect as soon as possible, including Junior Brother Han and me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Jiang Yixin asked in surprise: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, what does your sect mean by this? Why are you transferring all of your fellow sects back to the sect at this time?"

"Recently, the seal of Tianyuan City has shown signs of loosening and is becoming more and more unstable. The headmaster of our sect called us back to solve this problem. This is a serious threat to our sect. Therefore, we need to mobilize all available manpower Go back and wait until the seal is stabilized and Tianyuan City is safe, then we will return to Qingzhou."

Feng Hongcheng's eyes flickered: "The seal of Tianyuan City was relaxed? Why so fast?"

"It was faster than expected, so the headmaster urgently called me back to the sect."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please think again. If you fellow daoists return to Tianyuan City, what will happen to the war in Qingzhou? The demons of Mubei have arrived at the city, and they have sent more troops, plus three Mahayana monks named Peacock King, Huang Yi, and Yu Jiayuan. The arrival of Qingzhou is difficult to resist with the strength of our frontline headquarters. The departure of Jiang Daoyou and others will make the situation in Qingzhou even worse. Shouldn’t Qingzhou be abandoned? "

Zhu Ziqing frowned and spoke in a rare loud voice. As the leader of the Mirror Moon Sect, he was undoubtedly the most worried person in the room.

The headquarters of the Mirror Moon Sect is in Donglai County. Currently, five of the nine counties in Donglai County have been occupied by Mubei demons. It can be said that half of Donglai County belongs to the Mubei coalition.

Once Jiang Yu and others return to Taixuanzong, the Mubei demon will definitely take the opportunity to expand its results, and Donglai County will be in danger.

With the loss of Donglai County, the Mirror Moon Sect has become a rootless grass, which is what he cannot accept the most.

"The war in Qingzhou can only rely on you. We will leave for our sect in a few days. It can take as short as three years or as long as ten years. We will return to Qingzhou."

Feng Hongcheng also frowned and said: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, your lord is the leader of the Qingzhou coalition forces, and you are the frontline commander of the coalition forces. Once your buddies leave, it will inevitably destabilize the morale of the army. Can't we think of a compromise? Is it possible? Only some people will be sent back first?”

"The order of the leader of our sect has been issued, so there is no room for bargaining. Fellow Daoist Feng should know that the seal of Tianyuan City is related to the overall situation of the world, so we must not be careless. We have solved the matter and will come back as soon as possible."

Zhu Ziqing looked a little ugly and said coldly: "Does Guizong mean that the coalition forces abandon Donglai County?"

Jiang Yu did not reply directly to his words, but asked everyone: "What do you think, fellow Taoists?"

"I don't agree." Before anyone else could answer, Zhu Ziqing took the lead in expressing his attitude: "We have paid a lot to resist the Mubei demon. If we just give up like this, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain? And the Qingzhou coalition still has If you have the strength to fight, there is no reason to surrender such a large county to the enemy. "

"Our sect has been working hard to defend Donglai County. There have been countless casualties among our disciples, but we have no complaints, just to drive the Mubei demon out of this land. If the coalition forces abandon Donglai County, it will be equivalent to abandoning our sect. At that time, everyone will be heartbroken, and no one will be willing to contribute to the coalition."

Jiang Yu said calmly: "We can all understand Zhu Daoyou's mood. No one denies your contribution to the fight against Mubei demons. But based on the current situation, I think withdrawing from Donglai County is the best choice. This is also for To avoid further casualties among the disciples of your sect, the people and people will be saved.

"As long as people are still there, there will be a day when Donglai County will be recaptured. At that time, your sect will still be able to control Donglai County. However, if your disciples are all killed while defending Donglai County, even if you defend Donglai County, it will be meaningless. "

"The demons of Mubei are increasing their troops one after another. The Green Dragon King and the Peacock King are already on the front line. Zhu Daoyou just said that we may not be able to defend Donglai County with just our manpower. In addition, we have to return to Tianyuan City. The strength of both sides is waxing and waning, so it is natural to avoid fighting. "

"The letter sent by Junior Brother Han also contains this idea. Most of the Taoist friends in the coalition believe that Donglai County should be abandoned to avoid its sharp edge."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Feng, what do you think?"

Jiang Yixin muttered: "In this case, we can only abandon the defense of Donglai County. There is no need to resist in vain and increase unnecessary casualties."

Feng Hongcheng also nodded slowly: "For the sake of the overall situation, we can only avoid its sharp edge and wait for Jiang Daoyou and others to return before fighting against the Mubei demon."

After the two of them talked, Jiang Yu turned to Zhu Ziqing, but saw that his face was ugly, his eyes were hesitant, and he said nothing.

Jiang Yixin comforted him: "Friend Zhu, we don't want to give up Donglai County. This is not only the headquarters of your sect, but also has a lot of resources under our jurisdiction. However, the matter has reached this point, so we have to make this decision. Even if we abandon the defense temporarily, we can always take it back in the future." day.”

"This is a serious matter. I want to go back to our sect to discuss with others before making a decision." After a while, Zhu Ziqing said slowly.

Jiang Yu said: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, you are the only Mahayana monk in your sect now. As the leader of your sect, you should have the absolute right to speak. This matter can only be decided by Qiankun, so there is no need to discuss it with other disciples."

"There are some things I didn't want to say on this occasion, but I still want to remind fellow Taoists that the Mubei demon is cruel and unkind and cannot be trusted. If your sect is secretly betraying you, I'm afraid it won't end well. It's a chance of survival. , must not ignore it.”

Zhu Ziqing said: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, don't worry too much. Our sect and the demons of Mubei are like water and fire, and it is impossible to cooperate with them."

"That's good. You can't fall into the same trap twice. The civil strife in Qingzhou has just subsided. I believe that your sect will make the right choice. The coalition will issue a plan as soon as possible to resettle the monks from the sects and aristocratic families who evacuated from Donglai County. We don’t have much time, so we ask Fellow Daoist Zhu to give us a reply within five days.”

………

Guangyang Pavilion is located in the southwest of Donglai County. It is under the jurisdiction of the county and is a subsidiary pavilion of Donglai County.

The setting sun was setting in the west, and the sunset was as red as fire. On the city walls, groups of monks stood tall.

The tenth column of the tenth legion is now stationed here to prevent the Mubei demon from attacking.

Inside the cave, Tang Ning held a golden sword and waved it like the wind. As the sword light flickered, afterimages appeared one after another, as if one person was divided into multiple figures, performing sword moves.

I don't know how much time passed until he put away his sword and the other figures had long since disappeared. At this time, Tangning's forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat and she was panting slightly.

To practice the Tianyan Sword Formation, you need to divide the entire spiritual consciousness into forty-nine channels, and then control the spiritual consciousness to wield sword moves. This consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness. Even with his current cultivation level, he cannot persist for too long.

Ever since he obtained the Sword Formation Technique from Xiaozhan, he has practiced diligently every day and picked up the sword to draw gestures whenever he had free time. As of now, he is still far from reaching the level of mastery. At most, he can only scratch the surface. (End of chapter)
