Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 455 Northeastern Immortal Family
Many people may be unfamiliar with the name of the Dangxiang tribe.

If you mention its other name, perhaps everyone will suddenly understand.

I believe many people have heard of the names Qiang and Xixia.

That’s right, the Qiang people were the predecessor of the Dangxiang people.

Western Xia was a kingdom established later by the Dangxiang tribe.

The Dangxiang people were an ancient northwestern ethnic group, a branch of the Western Qiang people, also known as the "Dangxiang Qiang".

The main branch of the Qiang nationality originated from "Cizhi" or "Xizhi", which is the area around the Yellow River in the southeast of Qinghai today.

During the Han Dynasty, a large number of Qiang people migrated to the Helong and Guanzhong areas.

At this time, the Dangxiang people lived a primitive nomadic tribal life, without any knowledge of farming or keeping track of time using plants and trees.

They divided the tribe as the unit, and the surnames were used as the name of the tribe, and they gradually formed the eight famous party items, of which the Tuoba family from the Xianbei people was the strongest.

During the Tang Dynasty, after two migrations during the reigns of Emperor Wen of Sui and Empress Wu Zetian, the Dangxiang people gradually concentrated in eastern Gansu and northern Shaanxi, but they were still mainly scattered tribes.

The Tang court set up vassal states in many places where the Dangxiang people gathered.

Meritorious Tangut tribal chieftains were appointed as provincial governors or other official positions.

When Huang Chao Uprising broke out in the late Tang Dynasty, the Tang Emperor issued an edict to the whole country to support the king.

Tuoba Si Si, the party of the party Xiangzhou, sent the troops.

At this point, the Dangxiang Tuoba clan had its own territory, which included five states: Xia, Yin, Sui, You, and Jing. It had military power and became a veritable vassal state.

After entering the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" period, although the Dangxiang nominally depended on the Later Liang and Later Tang successively, received their titles and paid tribute from them, they actually maintained relative independence.

In the fourth year of Changxing in the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Siyuan, the Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, had been secretly coveting Xiazhou.

Therefore, he was not on good terms with Li Renfu, the governor of Xiazhou Dingnan Army and the leader of the Dangxiang.

This gave the Khitan an opportunity to take advantage.

Therefore, Yelu Honggu, the crown prince of the Khitan emperor and the commander-in-chief of the army, led 50,000 cavalrymen and launched a series of offensives against the Dangxiang.

The Khitan cavalry was invincible.

In just over a month, Yelu Honggu captured several cities and approached Xiazhou, the core area of ​​the Dangxiang.

The city wall of Xiazhou was originally built by Helian Bobo. It was as solid as iron and stone and could not be chiseled through. In addition, many shamans, Han Buddhist monks, and Tibetan Buddhist lamas from Xiazhou came forward to force the Khitan cavalry to hold a stalemate.

Khitan military camp outside Xiazhou city.

At this time, the Crown Prince Yelu Honggu was discussing how to break into the city with General Yelu Chage and other soldiers including the Left Guard General, as well as many shaman priests, Confucian teachers, and Buddhist monks.

Yelu Honggu sat at the table, frowned and said: "We have been blocked for more than ten days and cannot break into the city. If the stalemate continues, what will we do when the army runs out of food and grass?"

Yelu Chage said helplessly: "Although Xiazhou City is as hard as iron, it is not the most difficult thing to deal with. There are many masters in the Tangut army, especially the master Dama and the shaman fire god Hezhe. Although they don't attack mortals like us, they use great magic to make our army unable to launch an attack. It's really helpless."

"Yes."

"Master Dama and the Shamanism Fire God High Priest Hezhe are truly amazing."

"The priests, masters and many gentlemen in our army are simply unable to break the spells they cast."

A group of soldiers were sighing over there.

Seven or eight shamans, three or four monks, and several Confucian teachers looked at each other, as if they had made a decision.

A shaman suddenly stood up and said, "Marshal, I have a way to break it."

Yelu Honggu, Yelu Chage and other soldiers hurriedly looked towards this man.

"May I ask Priest Tengli if there is any way to break the mysterious magic cast by Dama and Hezhe?" Yelu Honggu asked respectfully.

Yelu Honggu was cruel and reckless by nature.

The fact that he was so respectful to this Tengli priest could only mean one thing, that this shaman priest's cultivation was truly extraordinary.

Indeed, Priest Tengli is no ordinary person. He is one of the few people in the late stage of the leader realm in Khitan Shamanism. He is known as the number one person under the last three leaders of Khitan.

The priest said slowly: "As the saying goes, the bell must be tied to the bell. I can't wait to break the spells of Dama and Hezhe, but if I wait to kill the two?"

Yelu Chage was speechless. You can't even break other people's magic, and you still want to kill them?
Yelu Honggu thought so too.

Or rather, all the Khitan generals present thought so.

"Priest Tengli's words make sense." Another old monk stood out from the crowd. He smiled and said, "Dama and Hezhe are extremely powerful. It seems that it will be extremely difficult to kill them. However, we have more than a dozen fellow Taoists here. If we unite, we may have a chance."

Yelu Honggu's eyes lit up and he said, "Master Yinuo, are you serious?"

Master Yinuo laughed loudly, "Of course I take it seriously. Priest Tengli is in the late stage of the leader realm, I am also in the late stage of the leader realm, and Mr. Zhu Wan is in the late stage of the leader realm..." When he said here, an old Confucian scholar in his sixties beside him smiled and nodded. It was the Confucian monk Zhu Wan.

Master Yinuo continued, "With the help of more than a dozen high-level magicians and fellow Taoists at the early stage of the leader realm, it will not be difficult for us to defeat Dama and Hezhe. The prerequisite is that we can trick them out and not give them the opportunity to cast spells in secret."

Yeluhong asked with an open mind: "Mr. Mr., can you deceive Dama and Hezhe?"

"The hermit has a brilliant plan." Zhu Wan spoke slowly, "But we have to trouble Priest Tengli to ask Immortal Liu to send his immortals to pretend to flood Xiazhou. Dama and Hezhe will definitely come forward to stop it."

The priests hesitated: "Master Liu has long been a fairy, and all the immortals in the mouth are all cultivated monsters. According to the law of heaven, you must not shot mortal people.

Master Liu is a python that has attained enlightenment, and many of the demons and fairies in his hall are snake spirits that have cultivated into immortals.

However, these shaman immortals are different from the real demon immortals. They did not rely entirely on their own cultivation to become demon immortals, but also relied on the power of faith. Their strength is weaker than those demon immortals who rely on their own cultivation.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

For example, Master Liu possesses the strength of a top earthly immortal, but he just sits in the hall and generally does not show up.

As for the rest of the immortal family, the strength is definitely not as good as Mrs. Liu, but it also ranges from similar mage to the earth.

"Hey." Zhu Wan smiled and said, "Priest Tengli, have you forgotten that the decree of the Conferred God has been issued? Immortals who participate in the Conferred God War will not be punished by the laws of heaven."

Priest Tengli still had some concerns. "That's true, but if Master Liu sends immortals over, the immortals and gods of the Tangut Shamanism and the Tubo side might also send gods to help Xiazhou. At that time, it will become a war among the immortals, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Yelu Honggu, Yelu Chage and other soldiers nodded slightly.

Of course, they know how terrible to trigger the battle of the fairy, which is possible to fight.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one wants to let the real immortals participate in the war.

This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Taizong of Liao attached so much importance to Chen Yun.

Because as long as the immortals do not participate in the war, Chen Yun will be the world's number one combat force.

Zhu Wan said, "Priest Tengli is wrong. I only said that the immortals of the Liu Immortal Sect should come forward and pretend to prepare to flood Xiazhou. I didn't really want them to participate in the war. Moreover, the immortals sent by Master Liu are not very powerful, and generally will not attract many immortals of the Tangut Shamanism and the Buddhas of Tubo to come forward. Well, they are stronger than us, but they are not human immortals. I think they should be fine. When the time comes, as long as the immortals of the Liu family attract Dama and Hezhe, he can retire and leave the rest to us. Do you think the immortals of the Tangut Shamanism and the Buddhist saints of Tubo will come forward to obstruct us?"

Priest Tengli thought about it and said, "That makes sense. I will burn a letter to give to Master Liu later to see if he is willing to send an immortal over."

Yelu Honggu, Yelu Chage and other generals were delighted to see the experts discussing a strategy.

Afterwards, Priest Tengli burned the book and reported to Master Liu.

After a while, the green smoke condensed into a python shape.

The python formed by the green smoke spoke in human language: "Yes!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the smoke dissipated.

The book burning ceremony just ended less than a cup of tea later.

Priest Tengli, Zhu Wan, Master Yinuo and others saw rolling blue clouds coming from the northeast.

When blue clouds covered the sky above Xiazhou, an extremely huge green snake fell from the sky, like a celestial snake falling to the ground, and transformed into a middle-aged man with a long beard.

When the Tengli priest saw the immortal, he immediately stepped forward, knelt down and bowed, saying, "Tengli greets Master Chang."

Willow Immortals are generally divided into Ordinary Immortals and Python Immortals based on their body shape before attaining enlightenment.

Because the current chief leader of Liuxian Hall, Master Liu, is a python that became an immortal.

Therefore, python immortals generally have the surname Liu, while other snake immortals have the surname Chang.

This Mr. Chang Er is no simple person, he is the first immortal after the Grand Master, two Deputy Masters, ten Branch Masters, as well as the Chief Messenger and the Chief Protector. He is the angel messenger who is the chief among the ten messengers.

It is said that this Mr. Chang's cultivation is so high that it is second only to the human immortal, and is countless times stronger than the average late-stage leader.

That is why the Tenli priests tremble in fear in front of it.

Not to mention Priest Tengli, even Master Yinuo, Master Zhuwan and others who had nothing to do with Shamanism, were all afraid to breathe when they saw this immortal coming here.

Master Chang glanced coldly at Priest Tengli and said in a hoarse voice, "The Great Master has already agreed to what you said. You don't need to make so much trouble. I can defeat Dama and Hezhe directly. If they dare to send other immortals, the many immortals in the Northeast will surely repel them. The Great Master said that if necessary, he will invite Master Hu San to come together."

What…what.

If necessary, will you invite Mr. Hu San to come along?
Master Yinuo, Zhu Wan, Priest Tengli and other monks all gasped.

Others may not know what status Mr. Hu San holds in Shamanism, but how could they not know?
Master Hu San is different from ordinary immortals. He practices the authentic Taoism and is a true immortal. Even Master Hu Da is not as good as him.

It is said that Mr. Hu San also holds a position in the Heavenly Palace. Although his position is not very high, he is also a real god and has seen the Emperor of Heaven from afar!
Yelu Honggu, Yelu Chage and other Khitan soldiers naturally knew the great reputation of Master Hu San. They were secretly surprised and could not imagine that if necessary, Master Hu San would personally rush to the battlefield.

Everyone was trembling in their hearts, thinking that if Master Hu San was willing to show up, then Xiazhou would be captured this time!
