"When Xu Xiao attacked the city and Wang Mingyang defended the city, each preparing for battle. This scholar, who was born in Jixia Academy, fortified the city walls and cleared the fields. All the food and supplies outside the city were transported into the city. Even the houses were demolished and the wood and bricks were moved into the city. In order to prevent Xu Xiao from digging tunnels, 100 wells were dug along the foot of the city in advance. Large clay pots covered with leather were placed in the wells, and people with good hearing were asked to lie down and listen.

Not to mention the 50,000 defending soldiers, the 150,000 people of Xiangfan were divided into different classes, with monks, craftsmen, and rangers each performing their duties, and the necessary supplies for defending the city were divided into two categories: official and civilian supplies.

Then, good fighters from the martial arts world were selected to patrol the city day and night to prevent spies from setting fire to the city.

Wang Mingyang made all the calculations and put all his military knowledge learned in Shangyin Academy into full play over the past ten years.

Xu Xiao once said that if everyone in Shangyin Academy was like this, it would be fine for him to become a scholar in Jixia Academy."

“To attack a city, you must first cross the river and the trench.

Then came the most tragic city climbing, also known as ant climbing. Looking at the top of the city, one could imagine the scene of thousands of people climbing up on ladders, bearing arrows, boulders, rolling logs, and kerosene. The monks in the city invented the demon-subduing pestle in this battle, and the old Taoist priest with an ox nose created the molten gold in the furnace that would cause festering if it touched the skin.

After climbing the city wall, street fighting broke out. At that time, Xiangfan was home to a large number of gangsters and green forest heroes who were determined to defend this important town for the Three Kingdoms in the Central Plains. They shared a common hatred of the enemy. Before the street fighting, they had repelled the Northern Liang army countless times in hand-to-hand combat on the city walls. If it were not for them, it would not have taken ten years to capture Xiangfan, but three years would have been enough.

People only know that the Northern Liang army was the best in cavalry combat, but they don't know that they were also good at infantry combat and siege warfare. They were always invincible in the Spring and Autumn Wars. However, when they reached Xiangfan, most of their elite troops were killed, including 300 cave masters who were skilled in digging underground, all of whom died.

As for who was right and who was wrong in this attack and defense that lasted ten years, only God knows.

But it was during these ten years that Xu Xiao, who was always vindictive, finally forged his hatred for the underworld."

The moat was unusually wide, and the suspension bridge over the river was not retracted. Xiangfan was under strict night curfew, but the suspension bridge had been laid flat over the years, and even the main gate had never been closed overnight. It seemed that according to the instructions of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, after the Zhoutian Dajiao ceremony of more than 30,000 people to exorcise the sins of the nine netherworlds, the ghost gate was not closed, allowing the wronged souls to leave Fengdu Xiangfan. Legend has it that before leaving the city, the Yellow Purple Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain personally drew talismans and wrote seals around the city, and finally hung a Taoist talisman on the top floor of Diaoyutai, which read "The Heavenly Gang has returned to the Heavenly Gang, and the Earthly Evil should return to the earth", saying that when the wandering souls of Xiangfan are gone, this talisman will burn out.

But the Heavenly Talisman has been written for many years and has never disappeared. It has undoubtedly become an indelible haze in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangfan City.

Shang Yi sneered in a low voice:
“There are countless masters in the world, from Buddhism, Taoism, and even Confucianism. How could there not be masters who are capable of solving the problem here? It’s just that Buddhism and Taoism are fighting each other, and even Confucianism is not allowed to enter. In the end, this situation continues.

Later, Prince Jing'an arrived in Qingzhou and asked someone to use some tricks to make Xiangfan and Prince Jing'an have a cause and effect relationship. Those who can resolve the resentment in the city are naturally people with great abilities, but these Buddhist and Taoist masters are even more unwilling to get involved in the struggle for secular power, so they just let it go. "

Then he looked at Xu Fengnian and said with a smile:
"This is a good deal for your Xu family. Prince Jing'an, Longhu Mountain and Lantuo Mountain are all in vain!"

The people downstairs cannot see the people in the building, but the people in the building can see Xu Fengnian by looking down.

The man in the building was tall and slender, wearing an ordinary Taoist robe, hemp shoes, a Taoist bun with a wooden hairpin, and a whisk in his hand. The top floor of Diaoyutai is a forbidden area, guarded by several respected old Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain. Even King Jing'an was not allowed to enter. When the Great Heavenly Master left the city, he clearly stated that only the real people of the Heavenly Master's Mansion could not set foot there.

If the little girl and the little monks from the north and south went to the Tianshi Mansion to cause trouble, they would recognize this Taoist priest as the one who led them into the inner courtyard of the Tianshi Mansion. It was he who used the white-tailed whisk to block the attack of the arrogant yellow and purple Taoist priest from the Tianshi Mansion, and he also personally introduced Mr. Bai Lian.

This little Taoist priest from another family on Mount Longhu was named Qi, the same as the great Taoist Qi Xuanzhen, and had the same appearance as an ancestor of Mount Longhu.

Holding a whisk in his hand, he was praised by the national teacher who was in charge of Taoism in the world as "Taigong Sitting on Kunlun".

After he left Longhu Mountain, all kinds of legends snowballed, as if the whole world was praising him. But he was indifferent, because he didn't care about them. To him, those great truths, which most people couldn't even understand, were not truths.

In this world, brothers love each other, children are filial, and husbands and wives love each other, which is the truth. Those great studies, which are just studies of competing in books and classics, are not studies.

Old farmers work hard to cultivate, hawkers bargain, and merchants pursue profits day and night, which is knowledge. He believes that his Taoism is shallow, so he does not seek the way of heaven, but only wants to use martial arts to help the world. He went down the mountain for two things. One is to enter Xiangfan. Before the master went into seclusion, he said that the heavenly talisman would burn, and he wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.

The next step is to go to Wudang to confirm whether the young headmaster can really shoulder the Heavenly Dao. As for how to judge, it is very simple. The whisk in his hand can be used as a sword. If he can kill, then he is fake. If he cannot kill, then he is real.

He turned around and looked at the celestial talisman that connected heaven and earth with a red rope, and frowned.

The heavenly talisman is shaking.

Xu Fengnian narrowed his eyes and saw a strange woman walking out of the city gate.

She shaved off all 33,000 strands of hair from her head.

He was wearing a snow-white monk's robe, with a white snake on his wrist acting as a rope holding a white pot.

Barefoot, a pair of jade feet without a speck of dust.

She walked lightly onto the suspension bridge.

Outside the gate of Xiangfan city, the ghostly aura was as heavy as snow covering the sky, but she was the only one who seemed like a Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, saving all living beings.

In Diaoyutai, the heavenly talisman burned to ashes.

"All the ghosts are leaving the city."

The Taoist priest of Tianshi Mansion sighed and said, "Longhu Mountain lost. Lantuo Mountain won."

The woman in white clothes, white snake and white pot had skin whiter than snow. Such a fairy woman walked out of the ghost gate of Xiangfan. The horse led by Xu Fengnian's reins lowered its head and neighed loudly, and its hooves beat the ground hard. Not only this animal, but the whole horse team did the same.

Xu Fengnian opened his eyes and looked, and saw a woman, who was not sure whether she was a fairy or a mortal, walking onto the suspension bridge. There was no one stepping on the moat, but the water suddenly became turbulent and boiling, as if thousands of troops were passing by.

Shang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile:

"The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva who wanted to practice dual cultivation with you is here. He wants to see the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts in Xiangfan, and he also wants to see you!"

Then he looked inside the building again and saw that Master Qi from Longhu Mountain had already left.

Xu Fengnian was unwilling to wait. He was already at the door. If the merit of saving 100,000 wronged souls was snatched away by the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva, he would be in trouble!

He then activated the Dahuangting in his body to communicate with the princess in her sea of ​​consciousness.

During this period, the princess's soul resided in Xu Fengnian's body. Not only could she communicate with Xu Fengnian normally, she also taught Xu Fengnian all her insights into the swordsmanship over the years. Moreover, she became increasingly powerful under Xu Fengnian's care. Mysterious powers always flowed out of Xu Fengnian's body, making the princess's soul more stable, and even her insights into the Land Sword Immortal became more profound.

At this time, seeing that the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva had set his eyes on his son, he naturally did not want to be outdone. Suddenly, a statue of Guanyin with Buddha's light shining brightly appeared behind Xu Fengnian, floated up onto the city wall.

The 100,000 wronged souls that were originally released due to the burning of the Heavenly Master's talismans in the building, now gradually dissipated their resentment under the shining Buddha's light, and turned into virtual shadows that worshiped and paid homage to the image of Guanyin.

"That's it!~"

"The Bodhisattva Guanyin has appeared. She is saving the wronged souls in the tower!"

"May the Buddha bless you!" The people who were entering the city were all shocked, and then they knelt down with their hands clasped together, asking for the Buddha's blessing.

The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva standing in the middle of the suspension bridge and Qi Xiaotianshi who had already gone down the city wall and hidden in the crowd were all looking at the image of Guanyin with infinite Buddha light blooming in the sky in shock!
Qi Xiaotianshi and Liuzhu Bodhisattva both have sharp eyesight. The image of Guanyin in the air is the image condensed from the attainment of enlightenment and becoming a Buddha. Although it is an image of a Bodhisattva, his enlightenment is truly that of a Buddha, like a living Buddha in the world!
Moreover, the sword intent was surging in the Buddha's light, and he was a land sword immortal who entered Buddhahood from sword!

Princess Wu Suben had already reached the realm of a land-based sword fairy, and she had been a Buddhist for many years and was familiar with Buddhist scriptures!

Therefore, after experiencing nirvana and revival, when he achieved the form of Guanyin and resided in Xu Fengnian's body, his understanding of Buddhism also increased rapidly.

If one understands one law, then all laws are understood. He comprehended Buddhism with the realm of a land sword fairy. In addition, now that he has displayed the Buddha's light to save a hundred thousand wronged souls, the merits gained also helped Princess Wu Su to understand Buddhism.

If Princess Wu Su can successfully complete the meritorious service in Xiangfan, she will not only have enough confidence to come back to life, but she will also be able to go further and more steadily in the way of swordsmanship and Buddhism, and may even have a chance to achieve immortality!
Master Qi Xiao, who was watching, did not take any action. Although he belonged to the Taoist sect and the interests of Longhu Mountain were extremely important to him, the Guanyin Dharma Image now really had the ability to save these 100,000 wronged souls and send them to rebirth. This was the best destination for these 100,000 wronged souls. He was also a true Taoist, so he was unwilling to destroy it.

The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva is also compassionate, and what's more, the one who took action is the Dharma image of Guanyin, which means that Buddhism has the upper hand, so he will not try to stop it.

King Jing'an Zhao Heng, who knew what was happening on the city wall, wanted to sabotage Beiliang's plan, but as the prince of Qingzhou, if he took action, he would lose the support of the people of Qingzhou, and even more so the people of Xiangfan, which would be a greater loss!

Therefore, they could only send spies to find out everything Xu Fengnian had done along the way, so as to figure out what Beiliang's plan was! ?

Who is the Buddhist master who condensed the image of Guanyin and saved the 100,000 wronged souls in Xiangfan?

This matter is even more important. After all, they can see that the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva has not taken any action yet, and an unknown Buddhist Bodhisattva who can do such a thing seems to have appeared suddenly, making Prince Jing'an unable to sleep or eat.

Not only Prince Jing'an was making efforts, the emperor of the Liyang Dynasty was also uneasy. Over the years, the Liyang court believed that they had almost figured out Xu Xiao's trump cards.

The old sword god Li Chungang, the peach blossom sword god Deng Tai'a, etc., at this time a Buddhist Bodhisattva who had never appeared before suddenly appeared, how could the emperor not be furious.

The Emperor of Tai'an City knew about the strange phenomenon as soon as the Guanyin Dharma Image showed it. It can be seen how much importance Li Yang attached to Beiliang. This was in the feudal era, and the difficulty of transmitting messages could be imagined.

Obviously, this time the message was sent to Li Yang using special Taoist methods, so that the Imperial Observatory received the message and passed it on to the emperor.

Knowing that the Guanyin Dharma Image came from Xu Fengnian, and that the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva wanted to practice dual cultivation with Xu Fengnian, the man in Tai'an City suspected that Beiliang and Buddhism had joined forces.

After all, the Beiliang King and his family all believe in Buddhism, and this is something everyone knows!

However, Xu Fengnian did not give others time to react. The movement of Guanyin's Dharma image to save the wronged souls was very fast. The sky shook and the vitality of heaven and earth gathered together. At the same time, infinite merits fell down, most of which fell into the Guanyin's Dharma image. The remaining part was divided into two parts, one fell into Shang Yi, and the other fell into Xu Fengnian's body.

Then the image of Guanyin fell back and merged into Xu Fengnian's body. Just as the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva was about to step forward to communicate with Xu Fengnian, Shang Yi had already arrived beside Xu Fengnian and took everyone away with his divine power.

"Divine Foot Power!?"

A strange look flashed in the eyes of Six-Pearl Bodhisattva. He did not expect that the young man dressed as a businessman following behind Xu Fenghuang could easily display the power of divine feet and directly take everyone away from here.

She also had a profound knowledge of Buddhism and had some understanding of the six supernatural powers of Buddhism. Therefore, she was able to sense that Shang Yi's supernatural power was able to reach a very long distance, and she was deeply shocked.

The disappearance of Xu Fengnian also shocked the spies from all parties in Xiangfan, and they reported back everything that happened here.

"Commercial building~~~"

Prince Jing'an was looking at some information sent back by the spies in the palace, which included Shang Yi's portrait and related information.

He never imagined that a businessman from overseas could have such means to take Xu Fengnian and others away from Qingzhou directly.

After all, when they found Xu Fengnian's whereabouts again, Xu Fengnian had already appeared in Liangzhou City or even in the back mountains of the Beiliang Palace.

Such means, whether for saving lives or assassination, are methods that those in power are very wary of. The deterrent power is no less than when Qi Xuanzhen used his flying sword to cut off heads over a thousand miles!

Not only Prince Jing'an, all forces have begun to pay attention to Shanglou. With such an owner, which force dares to deal with Shanglou openly? Aren't they afraid that the owner of Shanglou will suddenly appear at their bedside at night?

With such mobility, it can be said that the owner of the business building is invincible. As long as he doesn't want to die, no one can kill him!

This is also one of Shang Yi's purposes, to deter everyone including Xu Xiao.

After all, bringing the dead back to life is such a huge thing. Once it is accomplished, who would not covet it?
Even the King of Beiliang, Xu Xiao, might have other thoughts.

Shang Yi was clearly telling everyone that I can come and go freely and I am not even afraid of people around me being caught because I can take them away at any time.

This is not the real world, but the private land created by Shang Yi and others in the world of the Supreme One. In the world of the Supreme One, I was timid for fear of being plotted against by the powerful on the other side, but in this world in the snow, I can strike hard and even "not eat beef"!
"Shua~~~"

Shang Yi, Xu Fengnian and their group appeared in the Wutong Garden of the Beiliang Palace. At this time, Jiang Ni and others had just arrived in the Beiliang territory, and it would take another half a day to return to the Beiliang Palace.

Xu Fengnian looked at this familiar scene in shock, and said to Shang Yi with his mouth open:

"That's amazing, Lord Shang. I thought you were just taking us to quickly reunite with the Feng Camp and return to Beiliang together. I didn't expect you to go straight back to the palace!"

Shang Yi smiled slightly and said:
"We have done such a big thing in Xiangfan, so we have to come back early. Otherwise, if we are intercepted on the way, it will be a big loss!"

Then he threw the falling treasure money into the air with his right hand and said:

"Resurrection is against the will of heaven. Even if I conceal the secret, I can't keep it secret for too long. So I'd better do it as soon as possible, otherwise the success rate will be even lower when the human calamity comes!"

As he said that, he asked Xu Fengnian to lead the way quickly to the location where Wu Su's body was.

The Beiliang Palace had already made preparations at this time, and Xu Fengnian quickly took Shang Yi to the place where the body of Princess Wu Su was.

That was the back mountain, a place specially chosen by Li Yishan. He also used luck to arrange a Feng Shui formation to conceal the secrets of heaven and gather vital energy!

Not only that, Li Yishan also set up a lightning array early on. He calculated that Wu Su's resurrection would bring about a heavenly calamity, so he set up a lightning array to lead the heavenly calamity into the underground to help Wu Su survive the calamity.

After all, one can only survive the thunderstorm by oneself. If others help without special means, it may lead to worse consequences.

At this time, Xu Xiao had already been waiting beside Princess Wu Su. Seeing Shang Yi and others coming, Xu Xiao bowed solemnly and said:

"Master Shang, if this is accomplished, Shang Lou will be the benefactor of Beiliang. Beiliang and the Xu family will never forget this favor!" (End of this chapter)
