Pawn Crossing the River

The next day, according to the plan of the two great masters of Pingzhang, Daomen prepared to formally regain Zhangxia.

Letting Qi Xuansu personally lead the army was also the good intention of the two Pingzhang masters. Prestige is usually gained through fighting, so the third prince has to compete to be the master of the army. Of course Qi Xuansu is not qualified to be the master of the army now, but he can do it alone. Winning such small-scale wars can also accumulate reputation.

As a result, Qi Xuansu will have an even greater advantage when he competes for the title of head master. Even after he ascends to the throne, he will be able to benefit from the prestige accumulated through actual combat achievements. The positive example is the Fifth Generation Grandmaster, and the negative example is the Sixth Generation Grandmaster.

Anyone who was interested noticed that there was a figure beside Qi Xuansu, who was completely wrapped in a cloak and looked very mysterious.

However, most people didn't think much about it. With Qi Xuansu's status, he would definitely have his own team, and it was not surprising that there were some strange people around him who were not within the Taoist establishment.

In fact, Qi Xuansu does have many helpers who are not within the organization, and Qi Xuansu is also good at using such helpers.

Although Qi Xuansu has no experience in commanding thousands of troops, he is still familiar with this kind of small-scale leadership, especially when he was in Tawanting, he planned a palace coup and supported Huangfu Xi to come to power.

Xiao Yin also went with Qi Xuansu. Don't look at Xiao Yin Xiao, he is also a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest and has this qualification.

One day was enough for Qi Xuansu to be fully prepared.

The so-called preparation mainly refers to various external forces.

The world changes again and again. People who cultivate their minds are the first to be eliminated. Those who cultivate their strength are left. There is also a distinction between inner alchemy and outer alchemy, that is, whether to seek inward or outward.

beg.

A few years ago, there was a saying about a broken Taoist heart, which roughly means that if you fail to beat someone, you will have a shadow in your heart, which will lead to the root of the disease, and eventually become an inner demon, and you will be unable to make any progress throughout your life.

However, Qi Xuansu has never understood this so-called broken Taoist heart. In his opinion, improving the realm is to expand the container, and improving the cultivation level is to pour water into the container. What does it have to do with the Taoist heart? I haven't beaten anyone, so why Will it affect my ability to expand the container? Why does it affect my water injection? Isn’t this nonsense?

There is also the so-called enlightenment of the way of heaven. Once you realize it, you can directly become an immortal. If you look at mountains, water, and clouds, you can reach the sky in one step by summarizing the mysteries and laws.

Isn’t this what people who cultivate their minds do?

It no longer works.

Mastering the method of making "dragon eyes" does not mean that you can make "dragon eyes". The intermediate process steps cannot be omitted.

In fact, Qi Xuansu belongs to the pure Waidan sect, which is superstitious about external forces, that is, solving all problems through external forces. If the qualifications are not good, the external forces change, the cultivation is not enough, and the external forces support. If the Taoist heart is broken, it is due to insufficient technical ability.

Therefore Qi Xuansu never talks about martial ethics. One-on-one duel? No, righteous gang fights are the way to go. Head-to-head confrontation? It doesn't exist either. The soldiers are deceitful. Qi Xuansu has no psychological burden. Whether he can win or not, achieving the goal is the key. Why should I compete with you to release my energy? Winner and loser, no matter how powerful you are in a single fight, can you beat the enemy?

Qi Xuansu only had to fight alone when he was in a relatively depressed period.

At this moment, a spiritual officer reported to Qi Xuansu that the team had been assembled, including where Qi Xuansu was.

This flying boat.

The black-robed young man Qi Xiaoyin returned to the scene for a limited time. He stood on the bow of the ship, his makeshift cloak rustled. He waved his little hand and said loudly: "Let's go."

The spirit officer looked at Qi Xuansu again and saw Qi Xuansu nodded, then turned and left, executing the order.

There are many flying boats in Daomen, so it is not difficult to achieve air strikes. However, the occupation still relies on ground troops, so Wu Niang spent a lot of time cleaning up the weaklings and opening up land roads.

At this time, the number of weak men has been greatly reduced, and there are only sporadic fish that have slipped through the net, which is not worth mentioning.

So the journey was smooth and we soon arrived at Chaxia.

The so-called Chaxia area is essentially a vast pasture. Daomen has set up simple Taoist temples and outposts here. Naturally, it is not a city. Since the two sides started the war, there are no ordinary people here.

The Daomen's mission this time is to expel the Buddhist forces occupying this place. If necessary, they can also carry out indiscriminate attacks. Anyway, there is no possibility of accidentally hurting innocent people.

The early advance was very smooth and there was no resistance. The Daomen army successfully entered the outskirts of the Chexia Ranch.

Qi Xuansu did not take the lead. He was always on the flying boat and kept a low profile. On the contrary, Xiao Yin was very angry. He kept standing on the bow of the boat, scolding Fang Qiu and giving advice, as if he had already become the master of the army one step ahead of Qi Xuansu.

At the same time, people from Buddhism also came.

Jiang Dazhen's prediction cannot be wrong. Buddhism did not send a second great master, but Buddhism still sent a big shot with enough weight. This can be regarded as the last time for the Buddhist radicals to increase their efforts. If they can still fail this time, then Buddhism will There is nothing to say.

The person coming is not the Three Great Scholars, but

In terms of status, he is not inferior to the three great masters. He is the Peacock King who is parallel to Wu Shi Dharma King.

As a strong contender for King Kong, King Kong Ming’s cultivation is not inferior to that of King Wu Shi.

The relationship between the two is similar to that of Master Donghua and Master Qingwei.

"According to reliable information, Qi Xuansu personally led the army this time." said a charming woman.

The appearance of the woman is not that of a Central Plains person. Judging from her face and facial features, she is somewhat similar to a Westerner, but her skin is much darker than that of a Westerner. She must have been born in Posas Island. She has a plump body, and the clothes on her body are very simple, and she is half-naked. , while wearing various magical instruments made of white bones on his neck, wrists, ankles, and forehead.

Judging from this dress, she should be a Buddha Mother.

The mother of the Buddha, literally understood, should be the mother of all Buddhas. For example, Lady Maya who gave birth to the Buddha or Mahaprajapati, the adoptive mother of the Buddha, are both mothers of the Buddha. But this is not the whole content of the Buddha Mother. In the Buddhist system, the Buddha Mother also represents the supreme wisdom and the highest truth of Prajna Paramita, because Prajna Paramita can give birth to all Buddhas, and the Buddha takes the Dharma as his teacher and is formed by the Dharma. Buddha and therefore Buddha Mother are also the embodiment of wisdom and Dharma.

In addition, among Buddhists in the Western Regions, all those who can produce Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are deified and called Mother Buddhas. This is a large and complex system of Buddha Mothers. Many gods and legends make this system full of majesty and solemnity.

Mingfei is another name for the Buddha's mother. "Ming" means intelligence, and "concubine" is a woman who has the function of giving birth to children and spreading the human race. It is used as a metaphor for wisdom and truth, which can break all worries and increase all merits. Some Buddhism in the Western Regions

The wives of the sect's masters, also known as concubines, have a very delicate status in Buddhism. Most of the time they have the charisma of the Buddha's mother, but sometimes they also cause some suspicion and distrust.

This Buddha Mother, or concubine Ming, is the dual cultivation partner of King Peacock Ming.

Peacock King is different from Jing Liuli. Although the word "Peacock" is in the name, which easily reminds people of Peacock Buddha, this generation of Peacock King is very contrasting. Not only does he not look like a boy or girl, but his face has hard lines. More like Fudo Myooh.

King Peacock Ming had no expression on his face: "The famous Qi Xuansu, who trapped and killed Monk Xiao and seriously injured Xiao Bodhisattva, is the leader among the eight generations of Taoist disciples. If Taiping Dao does not use some extraordinary methods, Li Changge will definitely not be his opponent."

Concubine Ming said: "I think so too. Compared to Qi Xuansu, Li Changge is too immature, or in other words, Qi Xuansu is too dazzling."

King Peacock Ming said: "I also heard that Dharma King Wu Shi once fought against Qi Xuansu, but he did not take advantage. He was suppressed by Qi Xuansu, and even came close..."

Concubine Ming said: "It was almost, if Qi Xuansu hadn't killed Monk Xiao first to avenge Chen Zheng, then Dharma King Wushi would have died. Of course, Dharma King Wushi was too careless and did not expect Qi Xuansu to be so troublesome, so he The Lord Buddha is not used. If King Wu Shi dies in the hands of Qi Xuansu, then the throne of King Kong will be ours."

"Learn from the past." Peacock King Ming spoke with emotion in a voice that did not fluctuate in tone. "We must learn from this. When facing Qi Xuansu, we must attack with all our strength. There is no room for carelessness."

Concubine Ming said slowly: "Qi Xuansu is about to

It's coming soon, and this person always moves with a plan and never fights an unprepared battle. I'm afraid it's someone with bad intentions this time. "

King Peacock Ming said slowly: "Qi Xuansu's biggest problem is his lack of cultivation. It is true that among his peers, he is already unparalleled. Except for Li Changge, who can keep pace with him, whether it is Zhang Yuelu, who was born to be an immortal. , or Yao Pei, who is of the great witch blood, are incomparable. But Qi Xuansu's current opponents are not people of his generation, but people from our previous generation, or even older generations, and his cultivation is not enough.

"The so-called difference between immortals and mortals is by no means an empty talk. Qi Xuansu has a high position and is a candidate for the Great Master. There is no shortage of immortals to work for him. It is inevitable that he will ignore the huge gap and even not take the immortals seriously.

"If he has already achieved the level of an immortal, then there is really nothing that can be done to him. Unfortunately, this step is not that easy to cross. If we give him another twenty years, it is indeed difficult to say, but the problem is that there are no twenty years, so we still have a chance. , it depends on whether we can catch it."

Concubine Ming suddenly said: "You don't have to be a strong opponent, but can you outwit her? How can a young man not be fond of women?"

King Peacock Ming finally smiled, but with a bit of sarcasm: "Qi Xuansu is not Zhao Jiaowu. Judging from his various behaviors, this person loves power far more than women. Even if power is put aside, he still cares more about it." Some other things are essentially making up for what was missing before, and now we have to make up for it. As far as I know, he is an orphan, so he is willing to play some tricks. "

Concubine Ming pondered for a moment and said: "Qi Xuansu has an adopted daughter who also came with her.

, maybe it will be a breakthrough. "
