Chapter 208: Military Immortal vs. Military Saint

"Ran?"

Gong Yu frowned and said, "Didn't they just set up camp in the last few days? They left as soon as they settled down. Could it be that one of us leaked the news in advance? No, even we didn't know about it beforehand, so it was too late."

"It should be Tong Xiaochu who noticed it."

Zhong Wuxin said in a deep voice: "As the saying goes, 'It is never too late to mend a broken fold.'"

"This is not the work of the boy named Tong."

Han Xiang's plan encountered unexpected results, but he was not annoyed or angry. Instead, his eyes revealed a hint of excitement: "A real chess player is finally here."

"Chess player?"

Zhong Wuxin asked: "Is the Immortal Master referring to Chen Sanshi? Is he here?"

"impossible."

Gong Yu said confidently: "According to the information we received, the Shengren court was worried that Chen Sanshi would be too successful and threatened the emperor, so they did not use him this time. Now most of the Northern Liang army has been transferred to the east, but Chen Sanshi and his Hongze Camp are still in Liangzhou."

"do you know."

Han Xiang was seen staring at the fire ahead, his tone as if in control of everything: "When a strong chess player finds an excellent chess game waiting for him, he will come and sit down no matter what. Especially when he sees that the current position is occupied by a mediocre person."

"Master, it's a good thing that Chen Sanshi is not coming." Zhong Wuxin said anxiously, "The most urgent thing is that we should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory. Master, please give the order."

"This time."

Han Xiang put his hands behind his back and said leisurely, "Although the boy surnamed Tong came to his senses after being reminded by Chen Sanshi and withdrew most of the troops in time, they did not have time to withdraw their food and supplies.

"In a hurry to retreat, they must have found a way to set up an ambush to stop the pursuers, and the ambush location is at Huangfeng Ridge on Jingxing Road.

“Zhong Wuxin, lead your cavalry around Huangfeng Ridge, and when you see the fire, charge out from the east.

“After this.

“The Du Biao Army has already lost two games in a row.

"Tong Xiaochu must be eager to stabilize the situation, so he will retreat another 200 miles to the east and try to enter the moated Lishi Mansion to rest. The garrison commander Yue Biao outside the city has a son with top-grade wood spiritual roots, who has been accepted as my disciple. The reason why Yue Biao has been hesitant and has not surrendered to us is because he thinks the Du Biao army will win. Now that he sees Tong Xiaochu's defeat, he will definitely turn against us immediately.

“I can’t get into Lishi Mansion.

"Tong Xiaochu can only go to the 'Shanhua Mansion' next door.

"But at this moment, after three consecutive defeats, the boy surnamed Tong must be insane. Zhong Wuxin, you only need to lead a team of troops to take a shortcut and appear in advance on the plain fifty miles outside Shanhua Mansion, and raise your Daxu military flag high, and he will be frightened and continue to flee by a detour.

“After reaching Yunduan Mansion, they waited for other reinforcements and with the help of the natural defenses, they were able to hold on.

“So far.

"We were defeated and retreated a thousand miles, losing a hundred thousand soldiers."

The words came down.

He actually predicted everything that would happen in the next two months, as if the other party would definitely act according to his arrangements.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

Zhong Wuxin didn't dare to question, even if he did it would be useless, he could only do as he was told.

……

Jingxing Road.

two days ago.

Two hundred thousand Du Biao troops began to retreat. With so many soldiers retreating, it looked like they were stretching across the sky and the earth, with no end in sight from a distance.

Qu Yuanxiang sat on horseback, throwing away the wine and drinks that the soldiers had brought him and cursing.

Wang Jun would fly high into the sky from time to time to investigate, to see if Nan Xu had sent any monks to chase him.

"Tong Shuai."

Teng Le looked back at the wildfire that had been burning for two days and two nights and was still spreading. He said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, you ordered the withdrawal a day in advance. Otherwise, the 200,000 troops in the 800-li camp would have been burned to ashes. I just don't know why General Tong suddenly changed his mind?"

"This~"

Tong Xiaochu pretended to be calm and said, "That night, I looked at the flame on the candle and suddenly an idea came to me. I guessed that the enemy might use fire attack, so I retreated."

"Fortunately, General Tong reacted quickly and made the 'Military Genius' plan fail. It seems that the so-called 'Military Genius' is nothing special!"

Teng Le asked: "Tong Shuai, what should we do next?"

"Retreat first and find a place to rest and resupply."

Tong Xiaochu gave the order: "In addition, I predict that the military genius Han Xiang will definitely want to pursue the victory, so you should quickly send a team of troops to Huangfeng Ridge to set up an ambush and block the enemy. You will definitely be able to gain something!"

"Yes!"

Teng Le took the order and left.

"..."

Tong Xiaochu quietly wiped the cold sweat from his palms on the horse's mane.

Han Xiang deliberately took advantage of the hot weather to retreat and advance, luring them step by step to the Yiling area, forcing them to set up camp in the mountains and fields. Then he pretended to be a coward to make them underestimate the enemy.

If it wasn't for a letter from Chen Sanshi.

He was just afraid...

He and his 200,000-strong army were all buried in Yiling!
This is commanding a large army to fight.

It’s really not an easy thing to do.

until now.

Tong Xiaochu finally understood what it meant to be "an incompetent general leads to the death of the entire army". As a commander, if he made any mistake, countless of his subordinates would die.

This kind of pressure.

Like a mountain!

Fortunately, after escaping the Yiling fire, there will be no large-scale rout in the future. He can also calm down and have a good fight with the military genius Han Xiang.

Twenty days later.

Beijing.

Zhongjue Hall.

"Report——"

"Urgent report——"

The soldiers hurriedly delivered the information into the palace.

"The front line is defeated!"

"Twenty days ago, Han Xiang, the military immortal of Nanxu, burned down the 800-li camp of Yiling with a raging fire!"

"..."

"what?!"

Hear this.

Ming Qing, the Minister of War, suddenly realized what was going on, then beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Stupid! How stupid we are! We are too far away from Luozhou, so we ignored the dry and hot climate in Yiling! Setting up camp near the mountains and fields can indeed avoid the heat and take advantage of the stable terrain, but if the enemy uses fire attack, won't our army be reduced to ashes?! Fortunately, Tong Xiaochu discovered the clues in time and withdrew in advance, so as not to cause greater losses!"

"It was a near miss, it was a near miss!"

Prince Regent Cao Huan breathed a sigh of relief: "Tong Xiaochu is indeed a descendant of the Tong family, and he is quite good at commanding troops. It's just a pity that we have finally advanced to Yiling, but now we have to retreat again. If this continues, I don't know when we can recover the two states."

"Why don't you go and ask General Chen?"

One side of the hall.

Cao Zhi was lying on a chair, eating iced watermelon: "It's not too late to hire someone now."

"unnecessary!"

Ming Qingfeng raised his hand and said, "Tong Xiaochu was able to see through the Soldier Immortal's plan and withdraw from Yiling, which already shows that his talent is not inferior to that of the Soldier Immortal. I believe he will be able to stabilize the situation in the future."

"Master Ming is right."

Yin Mingchun echoed, "This is enough to prove that our Great Sheng Dynasty has plenty of young talents!"

"One collapse, one ...

Cao Zhi threw the watermelon rind away casually.

"Twelfth brother, how can you shake the morale of the army so many times?"

Cao Huan said unhappily: "If you continue to speak like this, I will be angry and punish you."

"Get it."

Cao Zhi said: "Just wait, the defeat at Yiling is just the beginning."

……

"Tong Shuai, this is bad, Tong Shuai!"

"When we arrived at Huangfeng Ridge, the enemy was already prepared."

"We were the ones who were ambushed!"

"Eight thousand soldiers were killed in Huangfeng Ridge, one Xuanxiang and two Tongmai were killed in the battle!"

"Another group of Western Qi troops have circled around to the end of Jingxing Road and are about to encircle us. If we don't think of a solution, we won't be able to leave this place."

"Tong Shuai, what should I do, Tong Shuai!"

"..."

Looking at the defeated soldiers who had fled back, Tong Xiaochu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his voice was trembling: "Quick, bring the map!"

"Wow!"

Two soldiers spread out a map in front of him.

"Lei Shi Mansion!"

After some judgment, Tong Xiaochu put two fingers together and placed them on a city on the map: "Let's abandon the main road and take the small road to Lishi Prefecture. Lishi Prefecture has strong walls, sufficient food and grass, and a moat. In addition, there is drought in summer and autumn, so we don't have to worry about them flooding the city. It will definitely help our army stabilize the situation!"

"Master Tong, great idea!"

"Quick, move out!"

"Notify the front troops to change direction and head for Lishi Prefecture!"

"..."

Fifteen days later.

In front of Lishi Mansion.

"Tong Shuai, something terrible has happened!"

"Lishifu's garrison commander Yue Biao refused to open the city gates to let us in!"

"what?!"

Tong Xiaochu's face changed drastically. He rode his horse to the front gate of the city, drew his sword, and asked sternly, "Yue Biao, are you crazy? Open the gate quickly!"

"General Tong!"

On the tower, a middle-aged general answered loudly: "To be honest, I have already surrendered to the Immortal Master Da Xu! For the sake of our past friendship, I will not fight with the Du Biao Army for one day. But if General Tong has not left this place after one day, then I will have to cooperate with Da Xu to wipe you out together!"

"you you……"

Tong Xiaochu's neck was red and veins bulged.

He didn't expect that the city in the rear would actually turn against him and surrender to the enemy!

But there is nothing to do.

Now, with blockades in front and pursuers behind, it is impossible for them to stay and attack Lishi Prefecture.

"Shanhua Mansion!"

Tong Xiaochu thought of a solution in a hurry: "Quick, notify everyone to go to Shanhua Mansion immediately!"

Shanhua Mansion.

It is the last anchor point that can stabilize the situation!

The 200,000-strong army changed its route again.

"How about it?"

Tong Xiaochu asked the officer in charge of receiving intelligence: "Has any new secret letter from the Commander-in-Chief's Office been sent recently? If there is, give it to me and I will burn it myself!"

"To reply to Tong Shuai, no."

"..."

Tong Xiaochu took a deep breath and felt the pressure doubled.

But think about it.

The battle situation changes every day.

Chen Sanshi, who was thousands of miles away, was not a fortune teller after all. It was impossible for him to predict everything, and it was even more impossible for him to always give him great advice.

But the good thing is.

As long as we reach Shanhua Prefecture, even if Xiqi has a larger army chasing us, they will be helpless!

The army changed its route.

Another ten thousand rear guard troops were lost.

Another twenty days passed.

The Du Biao Army was finally getting closer and closer to its destination.

"Report——"

When they were only a few dozen miles away from Shanhua Prefecture, the blood-soaked scout stumbled back to the center of the army: "Oh no, General Tong! Shanhua Prefecture, Shanhua Prefecture has surrendered too!"

"impossible!"

Tong Xiaochu said: "The commander of Shanhua Mansion is the same as me. He is the descendant of one of the twelve generals of Qilin Pavilion. Even if his family has fallen on hard times, they are still loyal and brave for ten generations! How could he defect to the enemy?!"

"Commander, it's true!"

The scout, who had been fleeing all the way and was already frightened, stammered, "The road ahead is the only way to Shanhua Prefecture. There are Xiqi's military flags everywhere. I can't see the exact number of soldiers and horses, but they are very powerful, at least more than 50,000!"

"..."

The corners of Tong Xiaochu's eyes kept twitching, and he didn't speak for a while.

"Tong Shuai, it should be true!"

Teng Le, who was covered in dust, said: "Otherwise, how could the army of Western Qi appear in front? Aren't they worried that the defenders in the city will attack us from the front and back? As for the loyal and brave, didn't the seventh generation of loyal and brave of Qing surrender in the beginning? These people just want to exchange for a higher status! General Tong, quickly give the order to retreat, otherwise we won't be able to leave!"

"Retreat again..."

Tong Xiaochu pulled over the map, looked at their current position, and swallowed hard: "If we retreat any further, there will be no strong city to defend behind us. We need to retreat all the way to the east of Yunduan Prefecture, which means... the entire Pingzhou will be gone!"

He led the troops for two months and successfully lost a state.

"We have to retreat," Teng Le said, "otherwise, our remaining 160,000 troops will all be buried here!"

"Hey, retreat!!!"

Tong Xiaochu gritted his teeth and threw the map to the ground.

even so.

During their retreat, they continued to be ambushed.

"Oh no, Marshal!"

"There's an ambush ahead!"

"Marshal, we lost eight thousand soldiers!"

"Five thousand soldiers lost, and one general lost!"

"Twenty thousand casualties!"

"Marshal, the front one collapsed!"

“Enemy troops are everywhere!
"..."

Retreat all the way!

No matter where you go, you will encounter ambushes.

The Dasheng Du Biao Army suffered heavy casualties along the way and continued to retreat eastward.

One collapse, a thousand miles away!

Thousands of miles later.

The defeated army was able to rest in a valley.

Suddenly.

There was the sound of wind and the cry of cranes.

The Du Biao army thought that they were pursuers and fled again.

Whenever I passed by the mountains and jungles and heard the sound of "rustling", I thought there was another ambush.

It can be said that the situation is very tense and every tree and grass looks like an enemy!

"General, Shanhua Mansion has sent an urgent report, Shanhua Mansion has not committed treason!"

"No treason?!"

During the retreat, we received belated news.

Tong Xiaochu was so angry that he almost fell off his horse.

"Han Xiang is so cunning!"

He only felt a dull pain in his chest and was depressed. He was cursing the immortal master, but his body had already been tense to the extreme. Even breathing became increasingly difficult and his vision became black.

This is pressure!

The pressure from the God of War!
This battle continues to this day.

Tong Xiaochu felt as if everything in the world had turned into a chessboard, with an invisible pair of hands controlling everything. He was supposed to be the chess player sitting opposite and playing chess, but somehow he had become one of the many chess pieces.

"Tong Shuai, are you okay?"

Teng Le noticed his abnormality and hurried over to support him.

"fine……"

Tong Xiaochu took deep breaths continuously, and it took a long time for him to recover. When he spoke again, his voice sounded like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness: "Keep retreating!"

Another ten days passed.

The Du Biao Army completely abandoned Pingzhou and retreated to Yunduan Prefecture in Jiazhou, where they finally stopped the defeat.

This is the end.

Of the 200,000 Du Biao troops, only the last half remained.

Less than half a year after the war in the west began, three states were lost one after another.

"Hurry, here's my resignation."

Tong Xiaochu didn't have time to think about anything else: "Wanli Shenying, hurry up and submit it to the Ministry of War as quickly as possible. Ask the Ministry of War to invite Commander Chen to take charge!"

……

Beijing.

Zhongjue Hall.

Twenty consecutive days.

Different reports of defeated battles are sent here every day.

"We were ambushed at Huangfeng Ridge and our army was defeated!"

"The commander of Lishi Prefecture betrayed the country, and our army was defeated!"

"..."

"What's going on? What's going on?!"

Ming Qingfeng angrily threw the memorial to the ground: "What is Tong Xiaochu doing? Before the burning of Yiling, wasn't he leading the troops steadily and well? How come he suddenly becomes a different person? Behead him! Behead him!"

"That's right, he must be killed!"

Yan Maoxing was also furious when he heard this: "Forty thousand! Forty thousand! How many years and how much money did it take the imperial court to train these forty thousand soldiers? In less than two months, they were all wiped out by him! He is a descendant of the Tong family of Qilin Pavilion. If I were him, I would not have the face to continue living!"

"He deserves to be beheaded, but..."

Cao Huan's hair had turned a lot whiter. He sighed and said, "In the current situation, if we kill him, who else can we use?"

"The Prince of Zhennan needs to deal with the thieves in Nanxu, and he has recently recruited a group of bandits. It is impossible to mobilize them in a short period of time. If it doesn't work, just call Lu Ji over!?" said the Minister of Revenue.

"Lü Ji? After all, isn't he also from the Military Governor's Office?"

Yin Mingchun retorted: "This battle still wants to focus on training new generals!"

"Where's Xu Wencai?"

The Minister of Revenue recommended him, "This man is extremely intelligent and may be able to play against Han Xiang."

"Below the Martial Saint, going to die?!"

Ming Qingfeng shook his head: "Xu Wencai has wisdom and strategy, but in the end he is just a weak scholar. This war has already involved the 'immortals'. If he is not even at the level of a martial saint, he might not even know how he died."

"I told you already."

Cao Zhi was lying on a cool mat, with two palace maids fanning her: "Please invite General Chen over."

"no!"

Ming Qingfeng refused outright and said angrily: "Is it true that our Great Sheng Dynasty will be in trouble without Chen Sanshi?! Wait a little longer and give Tong Xiaochu another chance! Tell him to stabilize the situation as soon as possible!"

"Ah~"

Seeing this, Cao Zhi just shook his head and sighed, without saying anything more.

Another twenty days passed.

As battle reports arrived one after another.

The expressions of the Prince Regent and the cabinet ministers became uglier day by day.

"General Tong fell into a trap in Shanhua Mansion and had to withdraw from Pingzhou."

"We encountered ambushes all along the way!"

"Every tree and grass looks like an enemy!"

"Until ten days ago."

"General Tong has just arrived in the Yunduan Prefecture area and stabilized the situation."

"now."

"More than half of the 200,000 Dubiao troops were killed, and the entire Pingzhou was lost!"

"..."

"Click——"

Upon hearing the last battle report, the teacup in the hand of Regent Prince Cao Huan fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces. He felt a blackout and was about to fall backwards. Fortunately, two eunuchs stepped forward in time to hold him up and prevent him from falling.

The cabinet ministers, especially those in the Ministry of War, looked as pale as death.

"waste!"

"Tong Xiaochu is a piece of trash!"

Yan Maoxing was furious: "I asked him to lead the troops to recover Luozhou and Muzhou, but in less than three months, not only did he fail to recover the lost territory, but he lost another state!
"Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, one hundred thousand were killed!

"Is he a pig?!"

this time.

Enable Tong Xiaochu.

He was one of the recommenders.

He also has to take responsibility for such a huge defeat!

"..."

Ming Qingfeng also calmed down after being extremely angry. He looked at the sand table and the map, replaying the entire process of the battle. Even though he was thousands of miles away, he still felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Han Xiang.

terrible!

All strategies.

One thing leads to another, there is no way to fight back at all!
Ask yourself.

Even if it was Ming Qingfeng instead of Tong Xiaochu on the front line, he would definitely not be the opponent.

The most terrifying thing... is being able to feel Han Xiang strolling in the garden.

He didn’t just win.

And it’s easy to win.

If we compare it to chess.

It's like a national chess player who ranks among the best in the world is teaching a kid who is just learning how to play chess. The gap between them is more than just a gap. It's a chasm!
It really is...

Soldier Immortal!

The military genius who once destroyed seven kingdoms!

This time.

What they faced during the Great Sheng Dynasty.

He is a true military genius!

Not only is his wisdom unparalleled, his own martial arts skills are also extremely high!
Who can resist such an opponent? !

"It's better than..."

Yin Mingchun said, "Just invite General Lu Ji, Xu Wencai, and General Fang who is recuperating in the capital. Together, these three may be a match for Han Xiang."

"inappropriate."

Ming Qingfeng was filled with worry: "Lü Ji and Xu Wencai were transferred together, what should we do with the east? Is it going to be left vacant?"

"quick……"

Just as the officials were discussing this.

The weak voice of the Prince Regent was heard, deciding on the candidate for the commander of this battle.

"Quick, go to Liangzhou and invite the white robed commander!"

……

While the war was going on.

Chen Sanshi has also been taking a large ship by water, returning to Liangzhou.

Inside the cabin.

The azure spirit bead was suspended in the air, releasing bursts of spiritual energy.

A man in a white robe and a girl in a yellow skirt sat cross-legged opposite each other, each practicing their own cultivation.

Chen Sanshi formed seals with his hands, and a small purple sword would condense above his fingers at regular intervals. As time went by, the number of small swords continued to increase, and they looked closer to the real objects, until inscriptions lit up on the sword blades, and a panel quietly emerged.

[Magic: Ten Thousand Swords from the Sky. Level 2]

【Progress: 0/2000】

[Effect: ..., Charge 20 Swords]

original.

His sword energy technique could condense at most ten swords in advance, and after the breakthrough, it doubled.

There was no rest.

Chen Sanshi immediately began to practice the next spell.

In front of him, there was a shield suspended that was condensed from the spiritual energy of the earth element between heaven and earth. From a distance, it looked like a solid black earth wall.

"Click——"

Suddenly.

Cracks appeared on the earth wall and spread rapidly, soon covering the entire wall. The gaps began to expand rapidly until the wall was completely divided into irregularly shaped earth blocks, but the wall did not collapse. Dazzling golden light burst out from the gaps between these earth blocks, connecting them together.

Instead of becoming fragile due to the appearance of cracks, this shield exudes a special fluctuation of magical power.

[Spell: Thick Earth Technique (Mastery)]

【Progress: 0/1000】

[Effect: ..., anti-shock]

[Counter Shock: Rebound enemy spells to a certain extent]

Counterattack!

But we still need to try it to know its specific effectiveness.

"Little trash."

Chen Sanshi stretched out his hand and tapped the forehead of the girl opposite him.

Zhao Zhao, who was still in meditation, was awakened by the pain.

Before she could ask angrily, Chen Sanshi said, "Try to use the magic you know to hit me."

"Eh?"

Zhao Zhao froze in his action of rubbing his forehead, and his eyes lit up obviously: "You won't fight back?"

"not return."

Chen Sanshi guaranteed.

"Yeah."

Zhao Zhao quickly stood up and cast a spell with awkward movements. A small azure sword slowly condensed on her fair and nimble hands, making a crisp humming sound in front of her.

Sword art!
Boring on the way.

Chen Sanshi taught her casually.

Mana fluctuations.

The sword energy suddenly shot out.

In front of Chen Sanshi, an earth wall covered with golden cracks rose up.

"Buzz!"

After the sword energy hit it, it immediately bounced back like a stone hitting a wall.

"..."

Zhao Zhao never expected this scene, and quickly summoned his flying sword to chop it down.

The two collide.

The sword energy technique collapsed.

But she also fell to the ground with a thud, and felt her buttocks were broken into pieces.

"Thanks."

"Snapped--"

Chen Sanshi simply closed the door and locked her out. He ignored her subsequent anger and returned to sit on the mat, recalling the details of what had just happened.

There is also a limit to the rebound.

It depends on your cultivation level.

If the opponent's cultivation is higher than yours, the counter-shock will be ineffective.

On the contrary, it will have a significant effect when fighting with people of the same level.

After two spells broke through.

Chen Sanshi took out the "Fire Swallowing Art" again. He quickly digested the contents through the jade slips. After swallowing a Huanglong Pill, he closed his eyes and concentrated, officially starting to practice.

Inside the cabin.

Under the guidance of his spiritual roots, strands of spiritual energy entered his body, circulated through the meridians, and were refined in his meridians before finally turning into spiritual power and being stored in his dantian.

It's different from before.

Chen Sanshi could clearly feel that the speed of cultivation had increased a lot!

Among his five elements spiritual roots, gold, wood, water and earth were all in a deep sleep, and only the low-grade fire spiritual root was functioning.

If all spiritual roots are compared to saplings, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is compared to nutrients, then when Chen Sanshi was practicing, the same amount of nutrients needed to be supplied to five saplings at the same time.

But after practicing the "Fire Swallowing Technique", you only need to provide a "fire" sapling, and the efficiency will naturally be many times higher.

and.

Chen Sanshi could clearly feel that his spiritual roots were really growing!
If he continues like this, he will grow once when he breaks through the early, middle and late stages of Qi Refining. It won't take too long for him to become a genius with a single spiritual root.

There is hope for immortality!
After two months of sailing, the efficiency of absorption by the spiritual roots alone, coupled with the Huanglong Pills, has improved proficiency visibly.

[Kung Fu: Fire Swallowing Technique. Qi Refining Level 2]

【Progress: 100/500】

[Effect: None]

Dharma practice is improving.

Naturally, Chen Sanshi would not forget the martial arts that supported his livelihood, and he spent more time practicing martial arts.

He took out the Jingshen Fruit.

The dark red fruit is not a freshly picked spiritual fruit, but has been specially processed. It looks more like dried fruit from the outside and tastes extremely bitter in the mouth.

However, for warriors who have already drunk all kinds of unpalatable tonics, it is naturally nothing.

Chen Sanshi swallowed it in one gulp, and then with a flash of silver light in his hand, he took the Longdan Silver Spear and began to practice the exercises of the True Power Realm.

I want to enter Zhenli.

Open Jingshen first!

Only after the Jingshen Cave is opened can the gods in the body be activated!
With the movement of the exercises.

The Jingshen Fruit in his stomach was actually refined like spiritual energy, flowing into his meridians through his limbs and bones, and then circulating through the meridians, constantly cleansing his body. During this process, Chen Sanshi truly felt the secrets within the human body.

That is……

Gods in flesh!

Within the mortal body.

There are many gods!
only……

It's the corpse of God!

lifeless!

They have divine powers within their flesh and blood, but because they are born in a world filled with complex energy, these flesh and blood gods are "stillborn" at birth. They exist but are useless.

until!

After being refined through the meridians, the Jingshen Fruit turned into a sweet rain and fell into the lifeless body.

Long drought meets rain.

then.

Everything came to life.

Within the flesh, all the “shrines” are no longer corpses, but sleeping gods.

Open the cave to see the gods!

After that, it is time to practice exercises, draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and gradually awaken the gods in the human body.

inside the human body.

Three parts, eight scenes and twenty-four truths!

The early days of Genelec.

It is to awaken the upper Jingshen.

"The eight gods of vision are practiced in the form, and the twenty-four truths emerge naturally.

"The soul is at peace when it is inactive, and the spirit appears and speaks to me."

Inside the cabin.

Chen Sanshi holds a spear.

Day and night.

until a certain moment.

A white robe suddenly flashed through his mind.

Brain God!

His name is Jueyuanzi, his courtesy name is Daodu, he is one inch and one centimeter tall, and he wears white clothes!

[Kung Fu: Dragon Sutra (Not yet started)]

【Progress: 12/100】

[Effect: None]

"call--"

One of the eight sacred scenes of the Lantern Festival is open.

You only need to activate the remaining seven gods to officially enter the realm of true power.

Whether practicing magic or martial arts, the road is long and endless, and it can take years or even decades.

Chen Sanshi's talent in practicing magic is mediocre, but his speed in practicing martial arts is already top-notch even in the world of immortal cultivation.

Don’t see you.

Many martial saints got completely stuck after entering a higher realm of martial arts.

For example, Wei Xuan from Dazefang City, when he was young, he and his partner were once the best couple in the world. But now he is ninety-six years old, his energy and blood are declining, and he is still stuck in the realm of transcendence.

No wonder.

After seeing the Jingshen Fruit, those martial artists would fall into a state of near madness.

Compared to the Dharma practice.

The lifespan of a martial artist in the early stages is almost the same as that of an ordinary person.

So they will do whatever it takes to get the treasure.

"call……"

The voyage took two months.

Chen Sanshi secluded himself for two months.

He was also feeling a little stuffy, so he put away his spear and went to the deck to get some fresh air.

Just in time.

The blue bird came back from the east and landed on his arm.

Chen Sanshi hooked his fingers and gently tickled its chin, and asked, "Did you send it? Did she ignore you?"

The bluebird nodded frantically, pointed its wings toward the east, and chirped as if complaining.

not long ago.

Chen Sanshi wrote a letter and asked Qingniao to deliver it to Dongqing, hoping to find out the current situation of the spiritual vein and advise Dongqing to withdraw its troops.

Fighting back and forth.

In the end, it's nothing but death and consumption of people's food stores.

Chen Sanshi was never afraid of fighting, but he never wanted to fight.

Only those who lead the troops know that no matter how great the victory is, countless families will lose hope.

pity……

The sister-in-law ignored him.

in this way.

There is nothing we can do.

Chen Sanshi could only hope that the war would end as soon as possible.

In recent years.

It can be said that wars have continued for years.

Even the people in Liangzhou could hardly bear the grain collection, let alone other places.

Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer.

"Old Qin."

Chen Sanshi asked, "What's the situation in Yiling?"

"I got the news five days ago."

Qin Changxu said: "After the defeat in Yiling, the Du Biao Army retreated all the way. They were beaten by the Western Qi military immortal Han Xiang, and now they have lost all 28 prefectures in Pingzhou. They retreated to Jiazhou to temporarily stabilize the situation, and the situation is still not optimistic. If this continues, I am afraid that Jiazhou will be lost within half a year."

"Hey~ I really don't know what the court is thinking."

A one-armed old man who was fishing said, "It's obvious that Tong is no match for us. He would rather lose 100,000 soldiers than send our commander over. This soldier fairy should be dealt with by a soldier saint."

"Don't say that, Old Li."

Qin Changxu said: "Believe it or not, when we return to Liangzhou, we will just encounter the imperial edict from the court, asking our commander-in-chief to go out. After this battle, they will know that the Great Sheng Dynasty cannot do without our commander-in-chief's office."

"That's even worse."

The one-armed old man muttered, "If our commander had stepped in at the beginning and quelled the war, perhaps it would have been fine. But now that things have gotten to this point, even if the commander won the battle, the court might not be very happy."

"What you said..."

Qin Changxu asked: "What does it mean?"

"You'll find out later."

……

Dongqing.

More than 200,000 soldiers from the Qing Kingdom were stationed at the border, confronting the Northern Liang Army and the Zhendong Army.

Chen Duhe, wearing the costume of the lion, the mascot of the Qing Kingdom, staggered to the front of the dragon throne, raised his head, and said vaguely to the high-ranking woman in a black skirt: "Aunt, fly..."

The empress ignored him and flipped through the memorial in her blood-red hair.

"fly……"

Chen Duhe pulled at the hem of her skirt.

"Didn't you hear that?"

The empress said in a cold voice without even looking up: "Take the prince out to play, don't let him bother me."

"Sister."

Opposite her stood a young monk: "I came here to talk to you about spiritual veins, not to help you take care of the child."

"If you are told to go, just go."

The empress emphasized her tone.

"Row……"

The monk seemed to be quite afraid of the woman. He grabbed Chen Duhe by the back of the neck and flew into the air on his sword: "Hold on tight, little brat!"

"Sister."

Gu Xinlan came into the hall from the back door: "Are you really going to fight Dasheng again? I heard that Lu Ji and his men have already reached the border. Will Shi Ge'er be transferred here as well after a while?"

"Sister, please don't mention this matter every day."

The empress threw down the memorial and said indifferently, "I promise you, no matter what, I will spare his life, isn't that enough?"

"Ah? That's not what I meant."

Gu Xinlan explained: "I am worried that if the old emperor of Dasheng really transfers Shi Ge'er here, Daqing will suffer heavy casualties and greatly deplete national strength."

"..."

……

Liangzhou.

The Governor's Mansion.

The military supervisor eunuch Hou Bao, led a team of guards and hurried to the gate of the governor's mansion.

"Bang bang bang!"

Knock on the door with the knocker.

Soon after.

Wu, the steward of the military governor's mansion, opened the door and said, "Hey, what are you doing, eunuch Hou? Why are you so anxious?"

"Hey, my great housekeeper Wu, you finally opened the door. I was so worried!"

Hou Bao asked anxiously, "What's going on? Has Commander Chen finished his retreat?"

"Nope."

Butler Wu said: "My supervisor is still in seclusion."

"Then, then how long will the retreat end? You have to give an exact date, right?"

Hou Bao paced back and forth: "The situation on the front line is extremely urgent. We can't delay any longer. Butler Wu, can't you go and inform Commander Chen?"

"How can you interrupt him while he is practicing? If the Supervisor is at the critical moment of his breakthrough and his meridians are damaged, can you bear the responsibility?"

Steward Wu said confidently, "Besides, you all know that the Commander-in-Chief is in seclusion. At the beginning, he swore that you could rest assured and that the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion would not be needed this time."

"Plans can't keep up with changes!"

Hou Bao didn't have the patience to waste any more time, so he went straight to the mansion: "If Steward Wu is worried that the commander will lose his temper, I will go and tell him in person!"

"stop!"

Butler Wu's face fell: "Eunuch Hou, the commander said that he will not see anyone, you can go back!"

In a hurry.

Hou Bao pointed his toes and flew into the air, wanting to jump over the wall and enter the Governor's Mansion.

Never thought about it.

The old butler's body was filled with internal energy. He raised his hand and slapped out. Waves of internal energy blasted out like a dragon emerging from the sea.

"boom--"

Eunuch Hou had no choice but to raise his hand to block, and fell back to the gate of the Governor's Mansion from mid-air.

"Eunuch!"

Steward Wu was furious: "Have you forgotten the rules we set back then? No one from the court is allowed to step into the Governor's Mansion without permission!"

"That's the rule with Commander Sun, not the rule with Commander Chen!"

Eunuch Hou glared, "Besides, I just wanted to go in and talk to Commander Chen, but Butler Wu started a fight. Isn't that a bit too much?!"

He felt something was wrong.

This retreat lasted for more than half a year.

People who practice martial arts are not cultivating immortals, so it is okay for them to show up occasionally.

Is it possible?

Chen Sanshi is not in the mansion at all?

As a military supervisor, he was responsible for monitoring all officials in Liangzhou.

"Cut the nonsense!"

Steward Wu said coldly: "Today, you will never step into the Commander's Mansion!"

"you……"

Just as Hou Bao was about to open his mouth, he heard a strong voice.

"Uncle Wu, who did you fight with again? You need to control your temper."

Chen Sanshi, dressed in a white robe, walked out of the door: "Eunuch Hou? What are you doing..."

"Commander Chen? You finally showed up!"

Eunuch Hou immediately threw his worries to the wind: "There is a transfer order. The Ministry of War is transferring you to Jiazhou to lead the Du Biao Army to the west to conquer the immortals!"
