Chapter 17: The 17th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The 19th: The

In the early morning, Tongguan main hall was lonely and there was no one. Suddenly, the mist came from nowhere, and it spread out quickly, flooding Ji Ruochen's body. Even in the misty smoke, two white air could still be clearly seen spraying out from his nose. Ji Ruochen slowly opened his eyes and returned to his soul.

At this moment, the red sun jumped out of the horizon, and thousands of lights instantly swept the smoke in the hall clean. A ray of sky light directly projected on Ji Ruochen's face. He did not avoid it. His eyes looked directly at the rising sun in the winter, felt the pulse of the revival of all things, and sighed softly.

Ji Ruochen knocked on the handrail, and the generals of Tongguan had already sensed it. They stood up and put on armor and rushed over. In less than a cup of hot tea, the generals gathered in the main hall, waiting for the general to speak. He stood up and two personal soldiers immediately brought the desk. A very detailed map was spread out on the desk, marking all the mountains and rivers from Tongguan to Xijing.

Ji Ruochen pointed his fingers at Tongguan. With this as the beginning, he slowly moved forward and stopped to Xijing. He paused, then headed west, and walked all the way to Jiange. He thought for a moment and ordered: "I sent a commandment to all counties and counties west of Tongguan. The general's troops were sent to Xijing in three days. The county towns along the way, but if anyone dared to resist, he would massacre the city!"

After the personal soldiers were ordered, Ji Ruochen asked the generals again: "I have been wandering for a long time. Do you have military information these days?"

A general came out of the line and said that there was an army of more than 3,000 people near Tongguan. They wandered around under the banner of Shi Siming, collecting grain Latin, burning villages and burning houses, and were arrogant. They even wanted to rob the grain warehouse dedicated to Ji Ruochen's army. The hundred soldiers guarding the warehouse fought fiercely with them, each of which injured dozens of people. The army retreated unwillingly.

Ji Ruochen frowned slightly, and waved his hand and took another map east of Tongguan and spread it on the table. Then he asked the general to point out the route of the flowing army. The general stretched out his fingers and pointed out the way of the flowing army. Ji Ruochen's brows were even tighter and said, "So, this flowing army has been collecting grain and recruiting people on Hebei Road these two days?"

"That's right!" said the general.

Ji Ruochen pondered for a moment and clicked four generals out of the line, marked the marching route on the map, and ordered them to take thousands of demon soldiers to attack in groups. Within three days, all three thousand troops must be wiped out on Hebei Road, and no one is allowed to escape. After encirclement and annihilation, all the three thousand Shi Siming soldiers must be beheaded, put the heads in bamboo baskets, and then sent them to Shi Siming.

At that time, a mature and steadfast general came out to persuade him. In this way, when he turned against Shi Siming, he would not say that Shi Siming's rank was much higher than Ji Ruochen at this moment. He was fighting against friendly soldiers and swords, and killing them all, and even causing fear of An Lushan. Although all the generals were willing to follow Ji Ruochen's birth and death, this was obviously just a temptation of Shi Siming. It seemed inappropriate to react so fiercely. After all, the overall situation in the world was not determined. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were still leading the army to resist stubbornly. It was not the time for internal struggle, unless Ji Ruochen wanted to set aside his own uniqueness now.

Of course, if Ji Ruochen really has this intention, these generals will never object.

After hearing the generals talking for a long time, Ji Ruochen finally raised his head and said lightly: "No matter what happens in the future, but now Hebei Road is my territory. To the east of Tongguan and north of the Yellow River, they are all my leaders. Without my consent, don't say that only Shi Siming, even if An Lushan comes by himself, he will not allow him to act at will. You four can send troops."

After Ji Ruochen decided on things, the generals stopped talking. After the four generals took the order, Ji Ruochen looked at the generals again and said, "Do you think this war can last?"

The generals looked at each other, a little confused. Although there were many generals in the hall, most of them were transforming demon soldiers and showing their human physique and were promoted to generals. Two months ago, most of the generals in the hall were ordinary soldiers, so how could they understand the military strategy and political map? A few generals who came from the aid of the army had never led the army independently, so they naturally could not understand the meaning of Ji Ruochen's words.

Ji Ruochen did not explain, and ordered the generals to prepare for the advance of the army. Three days later, he would go out to the west to fight and go straight to Chang'an.

Not to mention Ji Ruochen's arrangement, just talked about it for more than ten days later, Shi Siming was so angry that his face turned pale and his teeth were broken! The generals next to him were even more angry. Some wanted to raise troops to pacify Ji Ruochen immediately, and some wanted to mount an army to An Lushan. More generals wanted to take the opportunity to raise troops and seize the rich land of Hebei Road. After all, Ji Ruochen was only tens of thousands of troops, and Shi Siming was conquering the army all the way, and at this moment there were already 200,000 troops under his command. After thinking about it repeatedly, Shi Siming sighed and ordered people to bury the head quietly, and then he stopped mentioning this matter. He finally did not dare to fight Ji Ruochen to the death.

After the generals in the hall left, Ji Ruochen sent another personal soldier to invite the world to come.

After Ji Ruochen's soul returned, he arranged a march into Xijing in the main hall. In the side room of the garrison mansion, Su Gui, Zhang Yinyin, Yun Feng, Ji Bingxian, and a group of disciples of the Moral Sect gathered in the room, listening to the world's talk.

The Tongguan Guardian Mansion is magnificent. This side room is used for informal guests. Although it is not as elegant as the main hall, it is also very spacious, and it can accommodate more than ten people.

At this time, the original tables and chairs in the room were pushed to the wall, and a sandalwood table was placed in the center, with a length of more than meter wide, which was twice as big as the eight immortals table in ordinary families. The table was green and brown, as if a table was spread out with a table of micro-carved bonsai.

Looking closely, the table is not a common thing, and it forms its own world. I saw the green mountains and clear waters, the clouds and mists fluttering in the mountains, and the streams at the bottom of the valleys. If you have enough eyes, you can even see mountain people logging wood, fishing, birds flying in the forest, and fish swimming in the streams. Among the peaks, a palace is built on the top of a beautiful peak, with green tiles and white walls, and its energy is clear and gorgeous, and it is harmonious with the green mountains and clear waters. On this table, the world appears in the heart of Tao in the subtle places, and the breath and the heaven and earth are in harmony. Not to mention ordinary craftsmen, many monks present do not have this magical power, and only Su Gui's Taoist practice is barely enough.

The most eye-catching thing in the whole world is the Xiufeng Palace. With enough eyesight, you can see that there are small characters as thin as needle tips on the archway at the gate of the palace, and the book: Qingxu Palace. It turns out that this case is restored to the mountains of Qingcheng.

Ji Tian held a thin ivory chopstick in his hand and tapped it on Qingxu Palace, pointing to the country and judging heroes. Although the surroundings are the temporary choices in the Taoist world today, there are even many top figures, and Ji Tianxia is just a mortal, but at this time his mouth flew and his aura rose. Not only did he show any weakness to Yun Feng, Ji Bingxian and others, but he even faintly suppressed Su Yan.

"The saint said that when using troops, they should be like thunder, and their intentions are two. One is to join forces and defeat the enemy with a thunder and a huge force. The second is that they are so-called thunder and lightning are not enough to cover their ears, which means using troops like lightning to defeat the enemy's head and prevent the enemy from saving themselves. Taking the saint's words as a guide, the last time you attacked Qingxu, you did not know the reality of the enemy; the second time you never called friends, you could only make a move even if you were only a few three people; the third time you attacked the mountain one by one. How could you not defeat such a fire-filled attack?!"

Ji Tianxia said this and paused, glanced at Su Qi's eyes sideways, her mind was self-evident. Although Su Qi had thousands of years of experience, her face turned light and blushed, making Ji Tianxia stunned. She immediately remembered it and sighed quietly.

Ji Tianxia said nothing. If she was not so arrogant at the beginning and went to Qingxu with her, even if she could not beat Yin Feng, she would probably be able to save her life. It would be too hasty to attack the true immortals, and she took action one after another. So she sent Yin Feng the opportunity to defeat each of them for free.

At the last moment, Ji Tianxia had talked about the significance of making complete preparations before the war several times, and blamed Su Yan very much early and secretly. Although Su Yan looked cute and obedient, Ji Tianxia was also a smart person. He guessed the power of this heavenly fox from his cautious attitude from Yun Feng, Ji Bingxian and other moral disciples in front of Su Yan. When he was erect, he did not forget to observe his words and expressions. At this point, he could stop immediately and changed his tone.

The ivory chopsticks slap, and gently hit the flying stone beside the Qingxu Palace, looking down on everyone in the world and asked at a glance: "You are all people who have achieved success in practicing Taoism. Who can tell me how powerful this true immortal has and how many people need to win?"

Everyone in the room looked at each other and could not answer at all. The ability of immortals was long beyond the speculation of human cultivators, and it had never been stated in the Taoist scriptures in the past. Although Su Gui had fought with Yin Feng, he was put into the demon-suppressing tower and was refined by heavenly thunder as soon as he made a move. Although she later shattered Yin Feng's demon-suppressing tower with the immortal body of the Heavenly Fox, she had a draw for a while. Yin Feng also had He Xian's magic weapon and He Xian's magic magic, but she had not yet tried it out. Yun Feng, Ji Bingxian and others even didn't know what the true immortal was.

Seeing that everyone could not answer, Jixia gently knocked on the flying stone and said, "That's it! Although you are not afraid of the true immortal, you actually don't know what magical powers the true immortal has. Only by knowing that you know the enemy can you win every battle. Now you only know that you don't know the enemy, and you have to fight this fight. Then you should give your all your strength, not be afraid of being too prepared. Even if you prove that you overestimate the magical powers of the true immortals afterwards, you still do your best to fight the rabbit. We ordinary people can't be wrong if you are cautious."

Jixia pointed at Yun Feng and said, "Now let's see what we have in our hands. Master Yun Feng, can you describe the people who can use the Daode Sect in the Battle of Qingxu and all kinds of magic weapons in detail?"

Not only Yun Feng, the disciples of the Daode Sect did not feel rude to help the world. After thinking for a moment, Yun Feng revealed all the cultivation levels of the true people, good at Taoism, proficient in talismans, special magic weapons, etc. After the true people, he became a Shangqing monk who was good at fighting. Although he was shocked, he also talked about an incense stick before he finished speaking.

Ji Tianxia spread paper and wrote down one by one, then stretched out his pen and looked at Su Gui, and said with a stern look: "Sister Su, why do you love relatives and friends to help the boxing?"

Su Gui had thought about it in his heart, but when he thought about Tianxing Mountain, he immediately recalled the demons who were kneeling in black and shouting in unison to his ancestors. His whole body trembled and he secretly broke out in cold sweat. When Ji Tianxia asked, she first pursed her red lips, pretended to think about it, then showed her slender fingers, and held it at Ji Tianxia's hand holding the pen. Yanran smiled and said, "Sister has always been helpless. Although she has ten tails, she can only rely on her own hands to find food and clothing!"

Seeing Su Wei sending her paws like snow and jade, Ji Tianxia swallowed her saliva and quickly withdrew her hands, for fear of being touched by her fingertips. Ji Tianxia is indeed lustful, but he, who is always self-aware, will never dare to hit Su Wei. Even if he has such a little bit of lust in the secret, he cannot really develop lustful courage.

So Ji Tianxia wrote seriously on the paper: Su Gui, ten tails and one pair of hands.

With a sniff, Zhang Yinyin couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud. Yun Feng and Ji Bingxian couldn't help but smile. Su Qing's hands were condensed in the air, either by sending or receiving, and his talking eyes narrowed a little. However, she wanted to protect her glorious image of a Tianhu who only knew the overall situation, so she could barely resist the urge to slap Ji Tianxia out of Tongguan.

Just now, footsteps sounded outside the side room, and Ji Ruochen's personal soldiers rushed over and reported outside the door: "The General asked the Military Advisor Ji to go to the main hall to discuss military secret matters!"

Su Gui was in a bad mood and immediately said coldly: "What other military secrets can you do now?! There is really something important, let that boy Ji come here by himself! Just go back like this!"

The personal soldiers were in a difficult situation, but they also knew that Su Gui had a special identity, so they had to run back to the main hall and send Su Gui's words as they were.

As soon as the personal soldiers finished speaking, Ji Ruochen's figure disappeared from the spot. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing at the door of the side room, pushed the door open, looked at Qingcheng Mountain on the table, and understood what everyone was planning, and smiled and said, "Are you planning to go to Qingxu to kill and set fire?"

Ji Tianxia immediately talked about his full strength like a treasure. He beat the enemy in one fell swoop and handed the white paper in his hand to Ji Ruochen. Although Ji Ruochen's face was cold all year round, he immediately smiled uncontrollable when he looked at the rice paper. Almost at the same time, Ji Ruochen felt a little colder on the back of his neck, as if an ice needle was stabbed up, and half of his face was a little hot, as if he was staring at the enemy of life and death.

Fortunately, he was a person who had read the Spring and Autumn Period. He moved his smile to the sky at the moment of crisis, changed to his expressionless face, and said to Ji Tianxia: "It's great, just do it like this. Now Chang'an is empty and there is no need for too many helpers. Next, I will break through Xijing first. You go to the Daode Sect to move reinforcements. When everything is ready, you will attack Qingcheng!"

Zhang Yinyin suddenly said, "No!".

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Yinyin. She bit her lower lip and sighed, "Why do you have to attack Qingxu? You have returned from the underworld, and I am not dead. Mr. Ji said just now. In fact, no one knows what magical powers the banished immortal has. We will not know how many people will die when we attack Qingxu. The banished immortal will not stay in the world for long, so why not let him go back to the fairy world? Ruochen, let go of the past grudges and we will find Qingyi back. Although she refused to come to see you, I know that she could not let you go. She just... just wanted to fulfill us. Ruochen, don't take revenge, will you live your life well, won't it be good?"

Not only did Ji Ruochen not expect that Zhang Yinyin was so straightforward, but others were stunned. Although the dynasty was open-minded, most of the Taoist practitioners still valued a pure heart and few desires, and were implicit and harmonious. There was no one in the world who was as straightforward and bold as Zhang Yinyin.

However, Zhang Yinyin has a strong and strong temperament, and Ji Ruochen is wild and wild, so how could he take secular etiquette and law seriously?

In front of everyone, Ji Ruochen gently patted Zhang Yinyin's face and smiled: "At this point, it is necessary to attack Qingxu. Not to mention that you almost lost your life on Qingxu. The name of Fengfu Tian, ​​which has aroused the anger of immortals, has influenced the fortune of the world, and has promoted the world's group cultivators to besiege the Taoist sect. How many lives should be remembered on him? He is a true immortal, so he should know that every move will make Taoist sects in the world flock to him, so that when he ascends to the fairyland, he can get some shade from a chicken or a dog when he ascends to the fairyland. Since he can't stand the behavior of the Taoist sect, if he takes action himself, even if he beats the Taoist sect, it will be convincing. Why do you have to make the Taoist sect charge forward and fulfill his own transcendent posture?"

Zhang Yinyin naturally understood this truth, but it was faintly vague that a little fear arose in her heart, which made her want to persuade Ji Ruochen to stop her from doing everything possible.

There is another thing that they all know, but Ji Ruochen did not mention it before everyone, and Zhang Yinyin was unwilling to mention it.

This is the immortal sword that penetrated his heart and cut her hand.

Just like she once died generously but survived, she would cherish her life. She was extremely determined when she wiped her fate with blood. She never thought about the cycle of reincarnation in the future. However, when Qingxu was not dead in a battle, she found that Ji Ruochen had returned to the world inexplicably. In addition, she was ecstatic, so she wanted to live a good life with him. Even if there was no magic power to move mountains and fill the sea, even if there was no glory and wealth in the world, even if there was no descendants, even if there was no reincarnation, she would have to go with him, and she would have to live with him for a lifetime, plant two acres of thin fields, open an inn, eat melon fields and plums, sit and watch the sunset and the moon rise, and still support each other until she grows old. If this is the case, the Immortal Emperor will exchange the Golden Immortal Avenue with her, how could she be willing!

So she didn't want to go to Qingxu again, and Ji Ruochen took risks again. Even though she knew that this would make him unhappy, she wanted to try to persuade him.

Ji Ruochen stared at Zhang Yinyin's eyes, and after a moment, he sighed, moved his true energy slightly, and slashed his left hand horizontally. The light silver starry light shone in the way of his hand. The hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers from Tongguan to Chang'an appeared in front of everyone. As soon as Ji Ruochen's hand technique appeared, the clouds and winds of Ji Bingxian were immediately moved, and even Su Gui showed a slight surprise.

"Look at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the millions of people, how do you feel?" Ji Ruochen paused and said, "Are all sentient beings suffering? Are mortals like ants? I have been in the Yellow Springs and the wilderness for ten years, and I have destroyed more than one million ghosts and monsters in my hand? Even Fengdu City has been smashed by me! In these ten years, I have taken any ghosts and monsters into my eyes, but it is just a passing cloud. Now, even ghost cars, silences and the like, will be destroyed at will, and I will not be lingering in my mind. Esteem, do you understand now?"

Zhang Yinyin vaguely understood.

Ji Ruochen didn't wait for her to answer, looked at the people in the room and said, "Everyone on earth, whether it is a cultivator or a mortal, in the eyes of the true immortal, is like a ghost in my eyes, and is like an ant! For Yinfeng, the orders of the world to cultivate the Taoist sect and many things that happened later are just to order a group of ants to attack another group of ants. Why should we take it to heart? Why do we need him to do it yourself if we mistakenly ascend, we can't resist anything. He thought and did this, but it was nothing wrong. Unfortunately, a man would even splatter ten steps when he was angry! We were just accused of his high-ranking true immortals who were disliked, so he would not like his own strength and touch his immortal anger!"

Zhang Yinyin sighed softly and stopped persuading him. She could understand that Ji Ruochen chose to attack Qingxu not only for his own grudges, but also for her, the Daode Sect, Qingyi, and the grudges and causes and effects that he knew or did not know. Could it be that as Su Yue said, is this a man?

Her former, short-lived dream of a thin field and hut inside was quietly annihilated with the gentle sigh. This simple dream came quietly and left silently, just a dream.

As a true immortal, Yin Feng may not have done anything wrong. For the true people of the Daode Sect, they have other hidden feelings, and they do not seem to have done anything wrong. However, Ji Ruochen was entangled in his past and present life, whether he was forbearance or madness, it seemed to have not made any mistakes. Perhaps it was just a different Tao and he did not plan for each other.

Ji Ruochen said to Ji Tianxia again: "I have troubled you with Qingxu."

After Ji Tianxia said, "You should do your best", he looked at the background of Ji Ruochen's departure, looked at Zhang Yinyin again, suddenly sighed heavily, shook his head and said, "It's all a couple of Lao Chen, how can you know the door to liberation? Forget it, let's put all my old bones on it! I think I was a dragon in the game of life, how free and easy life did I live? Why did I get involved in so many things?"

Looking at Ji Tianxia, ​​I don’t know whether it was self-pity or self-proclaiming, although there were many people like Su Gui, Yun Feng, Ji Bingxian, etc., but no one found it funny.
