Those years of farming in the mountains

Hejian Suzhou, three prefectures and 21 counties.It's been a hard time this year.Not to mention the distance, the cold air is invading and the rain is very heavy, which is far more than in previous years.

It rains every three days, and it is frosty every night.The water is flooded, rivers and lakes are overturned, and countless farmlands and villages have been washed away.

Fortunately, the ten or so days after February turned out to be quite peaceful. The warm sun rises every day, and sometimes the cloudy clouds gather and drift away for some unknown reason.

Farmers are busy picking up grain, rich households take the opportunity to take care of their farms, while soldiers stationed far away in the pass are increasingly worried and ready to fight - because the sun is good and the roads are no longer muddy, which means that there will be more scenes of hand-to-hand combat The emergence of the war will become direct and tragic.

In Hejian, there are four major passes and eleven scattered passes on the border between Qi and Liang——Yan Chongyue, who was a general in Zhennan but was transferred to the north to defend against the enemy, rarely left Guangtong Pass near the hinterland of Suzhou. After the heavy rain, he drove his horse and led the troops to Mawei Cliff under the golden sun.

This is a dry river bed. The winding and concave rock walls on both sides are staggered like dog teeth. Two hills, one high and one low, stand on the top of the river. The mountains are steep and jagged with strange rocks. A valley came into view and was unobstructed.

The two mountains are horns of each other, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Good place."

Put on armor and clang.

The big rough hand holding the soft whip waved around, as if embracing the mountains and rivers. Yan Chongyue, who was already in his fifties, could hardly recover from the depression in the camp for a long time before, and he spoke with a somewhat cheerful tone.

On the side, the warlord eunuch, the old god, was there, and he was alone outside the crowd with his green robe on his arm without saying a word.

His brows and eyes were soft, and his eyes glanced over the soldiers gathered around Yan Chongyue from time to time, with an inexplicable look on his face.

People seldom paid attention to this person, after all, he is a disabled person, and he came from the deep palace, and he was ordered by the emperor to go to the border.Everyone knows what is going on in it, and they don't want to break it.

In short, I really don't have much to say to a warrior like myself, and flattery will only be condescending, and even get a name of dedication from the general and his colleagues.

Therefore, it is still comfortable to follow behind the general.

The adjutant stepped forward and continued, "What the general said is very true. The Mawei Cliff stretches for ten miles, and the two sides are difficult to cross. One is rocky and the other is a river. If you want to pass, you have to pass it."

There was more than one adjutant, and there were quite a few military generals under the general. They, who were not rich and hungry, could more or less see that General Yan was in a good mood, so they offered their words one by one.

"Extremely extreme. Adjutant Yang said it well. The mountain is steep and difficult to walk. It is not much worse than the Mashan Mountain and Weishan Mountain at the foot. The old Orion has to be fully prepared before he dares to set foot. Others can easily climb over it, and they may lose their troops. .”

"Not to mention the Xiaochunjiang River, which is guarded by General Li Kuiyi. He is not afraid of false Qi not coming, and when he comes, he will hit him head-on!"

Everyone said what they said to each other, and said that there was a great general in person, even if the pseudo-Qi had all kinds of tricks, it would be difficult to get over half a step, and they dared not go beyond this thunder pool.

Yan Chongyue waved his hands, noncommittal to these words.

There were not many famous military generals in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but Gao Hongyan was the only one who overwhelmed the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the south.

But having said that, the civil and military personnel in the capital are not all cowardly and incompetent people. Yan Chongyue led the Zhennan General for half a hundred years and sent troops to defend against the enemy. It can only be said that the ability of the Daqi coach has exceeded the court's response. Even at the expense of leaving Southern Border, let him come here.

Having experienced Zhao, Song, and Liang dynasties and faced countless enemies, Yan Chongyue knows that fighting on the battlefield is far more than simply arranging troops.

The political affairs of the court are thousands of miles away, but they affect the future of tens of thousands of people under this banner.

"Pseudo-Qi Gaohu, this man has far-reaching strategies and unparalleled schemes, and should not be underestimated. General Li in Xiaochunjiang and General Wei in Wangfengpo still need to be treated with caution."

He said so, but he didn't expect these two people to drive the enemy away from the bottom of his heart.

Li Kuiyi was fine, he was born in a general family, his grandfather was under Jiang Guangwen, a former general of the Song Dynasty, and he was not bad in both literary and martial arts.

And the other General Wei... Although the Wei family is far from comparable to the Li family in terms of family background, this one is not very capable. If he doesn't walk around at home, how can he be a partial general.

Even so, he found an excuse to throw him to Wangfengpo, the position at the back of the Eleven Pass, away from the front line, so as not to miss a big deal.At the same time, there are military supervisors, but it is not possible to leave a chance to do something about the logistics.

"People of the family, heh."

Wei family... Huaiyin Wei family!Yan Chongyue didn't know that these insects were placed in the military camp for nothing more than money and military resources. Fortunately, most of the military officers under him were single-handedly picked up by him, so most of the time they can be watched over, so as not to delay the military plane and cause a catastrophe.

Let's not talk about these two people anymore, Yan Chongyue thought to himself, and then they would be satisfied if they could get involved in the battle and share part of the pressure on the main business.

"Let's go, take a look at the two crossings, and then arrange scouts along the way to block the big wind, and then go to Yuming Pass."

Yuming, Guangtong, Jiufeng, and Dashan are the four major passes in the Hejian area, and the first two are located in Daliang.

Jiufeng was also owned by Daliang. Unfortunately, last spring, the Zuofeng Fortress was broken, which opened the Beiguan Cave. Most of the thirty counties in Hejian fell. achievement.

Jiufengguan fell into the enemy's hands together with Zuofengsai at that time.

"If the left wind is still there, Yuming and Guangtong are separated to rely on the left and right, supplemented by nine peaks, and the beacon fire stretching for thousands of miles is like a copper wall and an iron wall, so why worry about the northern enemy invading the border!"

Yan Chongyue knew that it would be very difficult to regain Zuofengsai.Northern Qi would not allow it, and that Gao Hongyan would not be so stupid as to let this important place be lost.

"There are two kinds of marching, one is to defend the soil, and the other is to solidify."

This sentence in the military book that he didn't know where to read appeared in his mind, and then he stroked the sword at his waist with his palm.

"The responsibility of guarding the soil..."

Unexpectedly, after half a hundred years, the old man still lost the blood of his youth.

Of course, it wasn't that he was afraid of the enemy, Yan Chongyue looked to the south, separated from the beautiful Huacheng by mountains and rivers.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the warlord, his eyes flickered, as if he saw the one on the golden throne in a trance.

Very young, in his early twenties.

That was once at the garden party eight years ago, and it has been a long time since I saw him.

"That's all, the more you do, the more mistakes you make."

With his thoughts sinking, he took the lead in forming a team, and led the generals behind him down the narrow path down the mountain.

……

The turmoil in the river did not affect Chen Yu. He was crossing the catastrophe. As the name suggests, the thunder was surging and slapped him continuously.

At this moment, Lingxi has calmed down and is no longer boiling, but it is stained with a trace of bright red, and the air is filled with waves of scorching heat.

The steaming clouds and mist made the area above the thunderclouds suddenly look like a fairyland.

Chen Yu is still immersed in ignorance and insensitivity, leaving only a weak spiritual sense to connect with the changes in the outside world, so that the transformation and sublimation will not completely get out of control.

The light is lingering, and many problems have been encountered in the process of sublimation, such as the ignorance of the five senses, the thunderstorm affecting the control of spells, and the spirituality being too active makes the sublimation changes difficult to refine.

In addition, he had enough primordial blood. At the critical moment, he melted away half of his body, grabbed the power of good fortune from the Qingyun Mountain to fill his flesh and blood, and then put his primal blood into Lingxi, so that the self that was already conceived in the spirituality would grow stronger. Suppress restlessness.

Stumbling all the way, I finally survived.

But this is only the first stage, to harmonize and match the primordial blood and spirituality. The two are not integrated, but they are forced to fight under the impact of the thunder, so they no longer reject it.

Just like this, after a while, the flesh and blood melted, and a mass of power hidden in the internal organs broke through the spirit sealing technique and rushed out from it.

The blue light of mana filled the sky, and suddenly turned into a cloud, intertwined with the blood-red aura, shining on one side.

boom!
The thundercloud surged, bursting out with even more intense white light!
In the emptiness, Chen Yu's consciousness awakened a little with the passage of mana, and after a short pause, he knew the current situation.

"Following primordial blood is mana. To be more precise, mana, as the foundation of this great cycle, must adapt to the rest of the power through repeated combinations."

Not only this round, but after the fusion of mana, he will be silent again, and sacrifice the primordial spirit, pouring the power of the primordial blood with the body of the primordial spirit, and the two must also adapt.

Normally, these powers are distinct and do not interfere with each other even if they are touched, but now it is different. Under the impact of thunder, the most fundamental spirituality of mana, vitality, and spiritual power has been shaken, and there are even signs of disintegration.

Only at this time can many forces really blend together. As he said before, it is very difficult to achieve in today's state without seeking to unify all laws. grope over.

Today, it's important to get on that ladder, to take the first step from nothing to something!
hum-

Insensible and ignorant, he was born with too much movement in the world, so that he disturbed the primordial spirit deep in his consciousness, as if there was a great attraction waking him up.

Chen Yu was unmoved, and there would be no problem with Yuanshen.He had never expected the situation in front of him, but when he woke up, he somewhat thought of it.

After all, the mana is condensed step by step by oneself, including the fetal breath, inner energy, spirit, qi and blood, etc., and even the spirituality in it is the most abundant in the concentrated power.

Now they fought against Thunder wantonly, and the aura was smashed to pieces and scattered all over the place.

The flesh was chapped, the blood flowed profusely, and the flesh and bones all wailed.The mana was also unbearable and was torn apart.

This is the 'self' contained in the aura is calling for help.

Chen Yu didn't care too much, let his spirituality be broken, and then reunited after the thunder light appeared, and went back and forth many times.Subjective consciousness is still silent, and the fragmentation of ego entangled in spirituality is harmless.

He continued to wait until the mana was also stained with traces of bright red, and the scattered spiritual sense sent feedback, and then Chen Yu struggled to let go of part of his thoughts, and controlled the mana to return to his tattered body.

The next moment, the consciousness surged, and the golden little person flew straight out of it. At the moment when the mud pill dissolved, it glowed all over, shining like a small sun in the dark space of consciousness.

Breaking through the barriers, [-]% of the mind is drawn out, and only a little is manipulated in the body of the primordial spirit, driving the villain to cut through the surrounding fog and pass out from between the eyebrows.

stand in the present.

The appearance of the primordial spirit attracted more surging and intense thunder than mana and primordial blood. According to the plan, not only did it not resist, but it jumped over the thin thunder fog above the clouds and jumped straight into the vast sea of ​​clouds.

The white light was brilliant, and the thunderbolt jumped wildly!
At this moment, the spiritual power that is most closely related to him and the most fragile faced the sky thunder resolutely, not like flesh and blood, not comparable to mana, and had no protection outside the soul.

The Hundred Apertures Method works on its own, and the orifices flicker on the villain's body, stroking to emit a slender beam of light, cutting into the thunder cloud.

Boom!

Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles, and the holes seem to be connected with a bottomless pit, constantly sucking the thunder light from the outside world at this moment.

The golden body was melting, and in the next moment it was filled with the spiritual power rushing out from within.The two kept seeing each other with Yuanshen as the battlefield, bursting out countless golden flames.

On the ground, an Orion walking through the forest looked up, seeing the increasingly changing sky, he quickly turned around and returned with his companions out of the mountain.

"I don't know what's going on this day. There is a rumbling sound above my head, like drums. The clouds are also dark. It is estimated that it is in the Fanshiji area. There will be heavy rain recently."

Orion and his companions said so with worry on their faces.

Entering the forest on rainy days is the most annoying thing, and accidents are easy to happen if you are not careful, especially when crossing the mountain. These hunters mostly enter the mountain when it is bright, and turn around before sunset in the evening.

Of course, what worries Orion even more is that the family, the elders, the younger ones, and the family members open their mouths. It is obviously impossible to count on a few acres of fields that have been washed away by the rainstorm. It is rare to have a sunny day these days. I wanted to go to the mountains to look for it. Maybe I can get some medicinal fur to subsidize the family.

On the side, the companion is also helpless.

"A few days ago, Mr. Xu said that he wanted to repair the dirt road, but everyone knew that he wanted to repair his big house that was washed away by the rain, so he raised the rent again. If we delay it, I don't know how we will be urged."

The two looked at each other speechlessly, sighing again and again.

……

On the top, the thunder in the clouds burst, but the rain that Orion was worried about did not fall. The airspace seemed to be covered with dark clouds, but the water vapor inside was continuously gathered, gathering and dispersing outside the huge light mist in the center.

Being drawn to flow, unable to turn into water droplets and fall.

It took a full hour for the halo to dim.

Everything gradually calmed down, and the wind and thunder stopped whistling.Chen Yuye had woken up from ignorance and insensibility, his physical body in Xiaguang was intact under the force of good fortune, and the jade color was faintly visible outside his body.

Standing up, the majestic power entangled in front of him was suddenly restrained, sweeping through the wind, rain, thunder and lightning like a whale, filling an airspace like a glutton.

I saw thousands of clouds turning into handfuls of blue-purple light falling into the body.

His face was calm, and he seemed to be savoring carefully. The next moment his eyes were thoughtful, he hiccupped and let out a faint glow.

The light fell, not bright and conspicuous, just plain white.However, in Chen Yu's eyes, there is another amazing scene - fine texture weaving, in the shimmer of hair, with his eyesight and perception, he can't count how many there are for a while.

This is far more complicated than the spiritual text, and even makes him think that he has insight into the essence of spirituality.

"It's finally over."

Chen Yu stood up and stood in the air.The steps in the plan, including the smelting of primordial blood, reconciliation of mana, submersion of primordial spirit into the sea of ​​thunder, etc., have been completed step by step, and finally, with the help of the violent sky thunder, a large internal circulation of the three laws of mutual generation has been preliminarily constructed.

However, how effective it is remains to be verified.

Here, he tried the results.Exhale and breathe, the haze flows, and the thoughts follow the heart, and naturally gather into the wind, and hold it under your feet.

There is no spirit script flying, no mana gushing out.

This is how the technique is presented.

His expression remained unchanged, he coughed, and traces of silver floated out from the seven orifices.If you can look through the physical body to the consciousness space, you can find that the primordial spirit is lying in the void full of broken pieces.

Sometimes it trembles slightly, and it seems that something is blocked in the deepest part. While doing its best to provide for itself, it is trying not to let it be restless.

In the outside world, Chen Yu didn't care about anything else and just continued to experiment.

Collapsing mountain technique, weathering rainbow technique, spectroscopic technique...

Spells, formations...

At this moment, he completely got rid of the spiritual text, and could cast the corresponding spells only by thinking.

After trying it for a while, Chen Yu became clearer and clearer, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, the corners of his lips curled up, and there was a little eagerness on his face.
