I preached in the Six Dynasties

Chapter 283 Northwest
In the northwest of the Song Empire, a great battle has come to a decisive moment.

The battle clouds were densely covered, and there was an inseparable smell of blood in the air.

The party member who has always been good at fighting was forced to the point of desperation by the Western Army of the Song Dynasty.

In Xingqing Mansion, Emperor Li Ganshun of Xixia worshiped the Great God Baishi in Xixia Yipin Hall.

Unlike other ethnic groups in the northern desert who believe in shamanism, Xixia has its own gods, and they only worship their own gods.

The main god they worship is the god of heaven, followed by more than 30 kinds of gods, such as mountain god, earth god, river god, tree god, and fire god.

The worship of nature and the land is their tradition, and the power of this belief has naturally spawned a large number of gods.

You can say that he is a mountain god, but the belief in him existed before he became a mountain god.

According to Li Yu's deduction about the power of belief, someone must have stolen the belief of the ancestors and thus became a god.

After becoming gods, beliefs became targeted and spread more widely, and the status of these gods became more stable.

At the beginning, some people pretended to be gods, and their initial beliefs were collected and used by them to achieve their spiritual power.Then they used these spiritual powers to spread their miracles, develop believers, and gain more faith.

So, no matter how you look at it, the false gods you believe in become the true gods forever.

Now, the party members of Xixia began to pray for divine protection.

On the huge altar, there are eight pillars, which symbolize the eight departments of the party.All of them are wrapped with red silk, and next to each pillar, there are six strong men from various departments of the party, surrounding the stone pillar.

Extending along the altar, there is a steep and long staircase. There are eight party nobles, carrying a cow up the stairs. The cow's head was cut off from the neck.

The blood flowed down the shelf and dripped onto the stone steps. The dark red stone steps, after years of sacrifices, the blood color has long since penetrated into the white stones.

Li Qianshun prostrated himself on his knees, keeping his body firmly against the ground, then bent his knees and got up, repeating this nine times.

"The gods bless us, the descendants of the Great God Baishi, and bless us to defeat the Song people, occupy their land, kill their men, occupy their women, and enslave their children."

Around the altar, next to each pillar, six party men carried a huge horn.

This is made from the horns of giant cattle they hunted in the northwest. Every ten years, the party members will select the best young men to hunt cattle in Hengshan.But now, the entire Hengshan Mountain has been beaten down by the Song Army.

The desolate sound of the huge horn can be heard throughout the Xingqing Mansion. After hearing the horn, all the party members seemed to be aroused with the desire to hunt in their blood.

They rolled up their sleeves, their eyes were red, and they looked up to the sky and howled.
-
In the southeast of Hengshan Mountain, over the top of the mountain, a large flag suddenly appeared in front of us.

The three-foot-high flagpole stands up to the sky, as if it wants to pierce the sky.

On the black flag there is written a large Chinese character flying like a dragon and a phoenix: Qin
The Western Army came from Qinfeng, so this is the banner of the Western Army, which is the last good fighting army in the Song Dynasty.

In the twilight, the huge flag fluttered and fluttered in the wind. The black flag and the blood-red characters on the flag complemented each other, revealing a daunting majesty and majesty silently.

The big tent in the middle is the commander's tent. After years of wind and sand, the tent made of cowhide looks old.

An old general in the tent, sitting at the head, is the old manager, the commander of the dragon guard and the commander of the four chambers - Zhong Shidao.

"After fighting for so long, and with so many deaths, it's finally time to see the real chapter. The Xia bandits are destroyed. Let's fight here!"

Inside the camp, morale was high and everyone was excited.

"Yao Gu will lead the left army, and Xiyan will lead the right army. I will lead the middle army and rest in Hengshan. When the spring warms and the ice disappears and the weather turns warmer, I will send troops to Xingqing Mansion to fight the bandits. We must fight for a month. Clear out the strongholds around Xingqing Mansion and surround Xingqing Mansion."

All the generals stood up, cupped their fists and bid farewell, Zhong Shidao stretched out his hand and said, "Wang Jin, stay here for a while."

Among the crowd, there was a partial general who stopped in his tracks, "What orders does the general have?"

"Xingqing Mansion is easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially in the Xixia Yipin Hall. There are many masters who are quite good at witchcraft. I intend to form a team to deal with these masters. You are highly skilled in martial arts in the camp, so it's up to you Come and bring it, what do you think?"

Wang Jin did not agree immediately, he mused: "The general has such trust, it is beyond Wang Jin's ability to report it, but in the first-class hall, there are all top Xixia masters. With all due respect, although there are many troops in the army, the generals are not lacking in bravery. An unstoppable man, but when it comes to the ability to assassinate with spells, he is still lacking."

Seeing that he didn't immediately thank him excitedly, nor did he refuse, Master Zhong was very satisfied.

This shows that he has thought about it seriously, and in a short period of time, he discovered the problem.

Such a person is worth entrusting.

Master Zhong said with a smile: "What can you do?"

Wang Jin pondered for a moment, then said: "General, my apprentice Shi Jin is from Bianliang's Zhengjing sect. There are many strange people in their sect. It's better to let him go back and attract some experts to help."

"The orthodox sect? The sect of the orthodox Taoist Li Yu?" Zhong Shidao had also heard of Li Yu's name, and it was the death of Kui Ji that really made him famous all over the world.

Especially when the Tang State sent envoys to Bianliang to name Li Yu, everyone regarded the beheading of Kui Ji as the work of him.

"Exactly."

"If you can move the master of Zhengjingmen, I will give you a big credit!"

Wang Jin's face was still solemn, this matter was of great importance, and the burden on him was not light.

He turned to say goodbye, walked to the door, and suddenly turned around, "The general has a good friend who used to be with me in Bianliang and taught 80 forbidden soldiers. This person was framed by Gao Lian and is now assassinated in Cangzhou. If the general can help him Getting rid of the crime is also a helper."

"It's easy to say, Cangzhou is not far from here. I sent someone to pick me up. Gao Qiu was not satisfied, so I asked him to come to the northwest to find me. What's the name of this person?"

"Lin Chong."

"Come here, go to Cangzhou to pick Lin Chong up here. If someone blocks you, I promise you to deal with it yourself."

Only then did Wang Jin turn around and leave the big tent. Shi Jin outside the tent did not leave, but when he saw him coming out, his face was overjoyed, and he stepped forward and said, "Master, Lao Zhong left you behind, but seeing your martial arts skills, he wants to pull you up as a deputy." handsome?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Wang Jin glanced at his apprentice and sighed, "The Lord has given me a heavy responsibility."

"Oh?" Shi came in interested, "With what Master can do, it is more than enough to be a deputy commander. What orders does the old gentleman have?"

"You go to Bianliang and call your friends from the rivers and lakes to help the battle. The more the better. The general asked me to form a team to match the Xixia Yipintang. Yipintang is no small matter, you and I can't take it lightly."

Shi Jin was overjoyed, "So that Master will know that there are ordinary brothers in my group, all of whom are hard-bitten and heart-breaking people. crazy."
