Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 362: Five Years of Wind and Rain, Heavenly Evil Swallows the Sun! (Two in One)

Looking at the talisman formation that was successfully set up for the first time in the courtyard, Song Changming was quite happy.

Just the entry-level spirit gathering array can have such an effect. As his experience points increase, the effect will only be better.

At the same time, it is also of great help to his Qi training.

"Ah, congratulations, sir, you succeeded!"

Ah Er on the side was also very happy, and looked at the talisman formation again and again with curiosity.

He could not sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy, he only felt that the ground was bright and the white light was cool, and he felt very comfortable staying in the yard.

He naturally knew that this talisman formation must be a very extraordinary thing.

"Young Master is truly almighty and knows everything." The look in Ah Da's eyes when he looked at Song Changming was nothing but respect.

I just feel that there is nothing in the world that can be difficult for my son.

The little yellow chicken and little white bird in the room noticed the movement in the yard, jumped onto the windowsill, and quietly witnessed the whole process of Song Changming successfully setting up the talisman formation.

After about an hour, the spirit crystals in the talisman formation were completely consumed, and the talisman formation became silent, losing its function of gathering spirits.

"Can an entry-level small spirit gathering formation only last for one hour?" Song Changming sat in the yard, looking at the dimmed talisman formation on the ground, and shook his head.

A small spirit gathering formation that lasts for one hour requires four medium-grade spirit crystals and eighteen low-grade spirit crystals to set up.

This price is not small.

If you are willing to ignore the cost and only want to pursue the most extreme speed of cultivation, you can consider superimposing such a talisman array for cultivation.

If one has a limited number of spirit crystals, one would not consider a small spirit gathering array of this level, as it is really not cost-effective.

For Song Changming, there are two known ways to reduce the cost of setting up the formation.

One is to increase the experience value of this talisman formation, so that the small spirit gathering formation of one hour can last for one day, five days, or ten days.

The second method is to completely replace the materials for the formation, replacing the spirit crystals with spirit veins!
In this way, as long as the spiritual vein can still produce spiritual energy, the talisman formation can continue to operate.

It is equivalent to one being a temporary small spirit gathering array arrangement, and the other being a semi-permanent talisman array arrangement.

"No matter what, the first talisman formation has finally been successfully set up." Song Changming smiled faintly.

Although the talisman formation still had many unsatisfactory aspects, he was satisfied with it.

The next step is to accumulate time and gradually improve yourself.

Time passes by little by little, like a gentle breeze and a soothing drizzle.

Although there is a slight feeling when the shaving passes across the face, it is difficult for people who are traveling to feel the passage of time.

When I came to my senses, I was suddenly surprised that time had left so many traces and gains and losses on each other.

Five years passed so easily and fairly by all living beings in the world.

Five years later.

Cuibai Road, outside the main city of Cuibai, on a wild plain.

The galloping momentum of the war horses was like a torrent, sweeping across all directions with great force.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered here, forming dozens of square formations.

There is a cleared battlefield in the middle. At this moment, two selected armies are fighting fiercely, causing a huge commotion.

This is when another round of military parade is held.

Although the military parade was postponed and late in terms of time, this rare opportunity to rectify military discipline will never be missed.

Above the battlefield, several government military officers flew around and kept a close eye on the battle situation below, acting as inspectors and referees.

On one side of the battlefield, on top of a high peak.

There were also many officials in the royal palace holding notebooks, recording every detail of the battle.

Among the seats, the one sitting at the head is naturally the Green King who rules over the Green Cypress Road.

Behind him were forty-eight military marshals, as well as Hu Zhong, the Grand Marshal of the Army, who were also accompanying King Cui.

Next to the marshals were all the small flag owners of the military.

Song Changming was wearing a set of gilded flag leader armor and robes, without a helmet, with his hair simply tied up. He stood beside Yang Zhen with his arms folded across his chest.

With a calm expression, he looked down at the fierce battle between the two armies below, feeling a little sad.

I still remember the last military parade, he was the main general, participating in the fight and showing his extraordinary martial arts to everyone.

But this time, he doesn't have to do it himself.

During these five years, his position changed again, from being a candidate for the position of small flag leader to an official position.

He became the fifth flag master of the 41st Army under Wang Tianshuang after Gao Shuxi.

This is basically indisputable.

Song Changming's record of beheading the elder of the Zhao clan is so convincing.

In terms of strength, he is basically far ahead of the other generals and no one can match him.

If Wang Tianshuang had not promoted him to the position of small flag leader, Song Changming would probably have been recruited by other Green Flag troops the following year.

This year is also the third year since Song Changming was promoted to the leader of a small flag.

"Changming, without a great general like you joining the army this year, I'm afraid the ranking of our 41st Army will decline." Wang Shifu shook his head as he watched the fierce battle of his own army below.

"There's nothing we can do about it. With Changming's current ability, it would be a bit of bullying if he continued to participate in the battle." Yang Zhen came to the rescue of Song Changming.

"Besides, I am still determined, so I may not drop in the rankings. Even if I drop one or two places, it is understandable."

Xing Tiexin was unsurprisingly defeated by Song Changming in the election for the flag leader, so he still serves as the main general.

But his strength has truly reached the standard of a small flag owner.

Moreover, compared to five years ago, Xing Tiexin, who opened up the Tianwu Meridian, has been in a period of rapid growth in strength in recent years.

Now he has grown into an ace among the main generals in the army and a real backbone.

No wonder Yang Zhen has always been optimistic about Xing Tiexin.

"Brother Yang is still as optimistic as ever. We ranked 14th in the last military parade. I'm afraid this time it won't be a matter of just dropping one or two places." Gao Shuxi said indifferently.

It's not that he couldn't bear to see his own army doing well, he just simply didn't get along with Yang Zhen, and by the way, he also didn't like Song Changming and Xing Tiexin who were traveling with Yang Zhen.

On weekdays, he would occasionally make fun of the three of them and try to trip them up, which was very annoying.

Another point is that the Gao family behind this person is close to the Zhao family.

To put it more bluntly, the Gao family is located in the second urban district and has always been a loyal lackey of the Zhao family.

Therefore, even if it was because of his stance, Gao Shuxi would never be able to associate with Song Changming and the other two.

"Xing Tiexin's personal bravery is good in our army, but when looking at the generals of the entire military, he is not good enough."

Just as Gao Shuxi finished speaking, a small hill on the battlefield was suddenly blown to pieces by a powerful aura.

Looking closely, it was Xing Tiexin who single-handedly defeated the opponent's fierce general and dozens of his personal guards.

For a time, the 41st Army was in high spirits, while the enemy was on the verge of defeat.

This also made Gao Shuxi unable to utter any sarcastic words for a moment, as if he had been slapped in the face.

Several small flag owners of the 41st Army were very excited, but he remained silent. Xing Tiexin won the battle and performed well, which was witnessed by everyone.

Song Changming was also happy for Xing Tiexin. According to the current situation, it would not take a few years for Xing Tiexin to be promoted to the position of a small flag leader, and he would not need to worry about anything.

As for Gao Shuxi, he is just a small character in his eyes now.

Although the Gao family behind him is in the second urban district, they are a level lower than the Guan family behind Guan Yuntai, let alone top families like Wang, Meng, and Zhao. Naturally, they cannot threaten him now.

Gao Shuxi himself was already the face of the Gao family who had worked hard to cultivate and promote. Song Changming, who was able to kill Zhao Liang five years ago, had no reason to be afraid of a small Gao Shuxi and naturally did not take him seriously.

According to his observation, Wang Tianshuang has been thinking about moving towards Gao Shuxi's position as the small flag leader.

After all, the Wang family represented by Wang Tianshuang is already in opposition to the Zhao family, so naturally they would not keep such a lackey of the Zhao family around them for long.

Gao Shuxi's situation is actually not very good. He doesn't know when he will be kicked out because of a crime.

"Which two armies will fight next?" Song Changming asked.

"The Fifth Army and the Twenty-first Army." Yang Zhen said, taking a look from a distance.

"The Fifth Army." Song Changming still has an impression of it.

At the last military parade, it was the Fifth Army led by Meng Kunlun that made them suffer defeat.

It’s a pity that this time, after being promoted to a small flag leader, he is destined to have no chance to fight the Fifth Army again.

As he was thinking, he suddenly noticed a pair of eyes falling on him and couldn't help but look sideways.

"It's him."

The person who met his gaze was none other than the former number one general in the Fifth Army.

The man who was born with the power of thunder, Xu Yuan.

Back then, it was his presence that caused both Song Changming and him to be eliminated.

Now, after so many years, Song Changming has become a small flag master, and the other party is also wearing the flag master's armor and standing on the high-rise stands.

There is no doubt that the other party has also been promoted to a small flag leader of the Fifth Army.

"It's a pity that I don't have the chance to compete with you again." Xu Yuan was not far away, and he directly controlled the voice line and transmitted it to Song Changming's ears.

"I haven't congratulated Brother Xu yet on his promotion to flag leader." Song Changming said with a smile.

"That happened four years ago. I heard that you killed the Zhao family elder. I'll challenge you to another duel if I get a chance!"

Xu Yuan didn't seem to care much about his position as the leader of a small flag. Instead, he challenged Song Changming to a fight.

"Okay." Song Changming agreed.

In recent years, because Song Changming has risen too quickly and has such an amazing record of military achievements, there are actually quite a few generals in the military who want to compete with him.

Most of the time, Song Changming would accept it without any hesitation.

On the one hand, this allows him to accumulate practical experience and also verify the results of his practice over a period of time.

On the other hand, he has preserved his own traditions very well.

Anyone who wants to compete with him must put in enough stakes.

In this way, he earned a considerable sum of money from the gambling that came to his door throughout the year, which was enough to cover the material expenses for his daily practice to a certain extent.

At the same time, on the battlefield.

The battle was not intense and soon became one-sided.

Although the Fifth Army also lost its great general Xu Yuan, its military strength was not reduced too much. It completed a wave of clearing operations with an unstoppable momentum and easily won the first victory of this military parade.

Xu Yuan was on the stands, and seemed quite satisfied with the army's performance. He looked relaxed, chatting and laughing with his colleagues around him.

However, Meng Kunlun, sitting in the marshal's seat, still had his eyes closed and was not smiling.

A great victory at a military parade meant nothing to him.

While the military parade was in full swing here, in the precious land of Three Thousand Spiritual Mountains far west of Yunzhou.

On a high peak shrouded in clouds and mist, there are many palaces standing side by side, like a palace in heaven.

A huge white jade stele stood on the top of the peak, nearly a hundred feet high!

There are three ancient characters engraved on it.

Tiandaoyuan!
The sect, which used to be peaceful, was now in a state of rare chaos.

In a bamboo house, a man who slept until noon heard strange noises coming from the Taoist temple and pushed the door open and walked out.

If Song Changming were present, he would definitely recognize this person.

It was Li Jinyu, the eloquent and calculating man who came to Guyuan Country with him that year!
"Senior brother, what happened today that caused such noise?" Li Jinyu, wearing a simple white disciple uniform, stretched out his hand to stop a person on the road, bowed and asked.

"Elder Jin calculated that there will be ominous signs in the sky today. It is the evil spirit swallowing the sun that has not appeared for three hundred years! I am afraid that the three states of the human race will be in danger!" The senior brother explained immediately.

"The evil spirit swallowed the sun." Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment.

He remembered that he had heard about this ominous sign from his master.

I never thought that it would appear so suddenly today!

He knew Elder Jin, a man of great ability, and one of the top figures in Tiandao Academy in terms of stargazing skills.

Since it comes from the mouth of Elder Jin, this prophecy will basically not be wrong!
The evil spirit that will swallow the sun is really coming, and it will happen today!
"No more talking, Master ordered us to spread this news as soon as possible and warn the three states of the human race!"

After saying this, the senior brother bowed and left in a hurry.

"I think I'm safe in Tiandaoyuan. I wonder how my brother Changming has been doing over the years?" Li Jinyu suddenly thought of Song Changming who was still in Yunzhou.

Pinch lightly with your fingers and make a brief deduction.

However, it is still like seeing flowers in the fog, confusing.

Song Changming's existence is extremely difficult to calculate.

It was so in the past, and it is still so now that he has been a disciple of Tiandao Temple for many years.

He could only figure out that Song Changming was roughly in the Cuibai Road area of ​​Yunzhou. He had no idea what Song Changming was doing specifically, or what kind of opportunities and dangers would come his way.

"I haven't learned the skills yet." Li Jinyu shook his head and lowered his hands.

"Brother Changming, I can only hope that you are safe and sound."

Song Changming looked at the sky.

The sun was setting in the west, and the huge orange sun was slowly setting.

"It's time to take a break today." Song Changming calculated the time and said to himself.

"Changming, come to my place for a drink later. Tiexin performed well today." Yang Zhen turned around and said with a smile.

"Okay." Song Changming did not refuse.

Now is a period of severe crackdown and we are not allowed to go to places of romance. It is not a big deal to have a few drinks at home.

As he was speaking, a strange atmosphere suddenly enveloped him.

Song Changming frowned slightly, looked up, and his eyes slowly widened.

The scorching sun setting in the west is now being swallowed by a hint of darkness!
