The establishment of the Celestial Dynasty began with the bestowal of the title upon the River God.

Chapter 148 A Team Takes Action

The scouts from each battalion returned empty-handed due to the variable of Jiang Gaoqi. If there was anything commendable, it was that the second garrison team understood the reason for the internal structure of the mountain range.

Meng Yunjie was seriously injured and was recuperating at his residence, so Zhong Ming reported the matter to Liu Tianyun on his behalf. Not long after, the document was delivered to the Marshal's Mansion.

Liu Tianyun saw Li Shuyan and smiled.

"With your impatient nature, you're probably urging the commander-in-chief again."

He paid no attention to Li Shuyan's presence and handed over the document, saying, "According to Commander Zhong's deduction, the internal structure of Liangjie Mountain is similar to that of the human body. I think we should send another elite force to investigate secretly?"

Li Shuyan frowned and retorted, "When we scouted the mountain earlier, the brothers already suffered from the spiritual energy there. Since we can't go up the mountain to fight, wouldn't that be a waste of manpower?"

Liu Tianyun nodded slightly. "The Two Realms Mountain is the transformed body of the Five Elements True Man. The spiritual energy in the mountain naturally repels the people of the Great Zhou, but it probably cannot directly cause casualties. If we can find out the main passage inside the mountain range, we may be able to send out small groups of surprise troops in times of war."

Xu Xiaofeng closed the military intelligence document, leaned back, and said, "Then let's investigate."

Now, let's talk about Xiaoqi of Sanyi Manor.

Since Li Erhu and the Wen family girl had taken a liking to each other, whether it was a show staged for Da Li's secret agents or a pre-arranged marriage in the army, it was all just a formality, and he returned to his barracks that same day.

Li Yi rarely had a moment of leisure, but he was still worried about Zhang Junyi's safety. However, only two or three days had passed since Shangyuan Peak sent a letter to Xiaoqing, so there was no time to rush things.

He practiced meditation in the monastery, silently asking his mind to help him eliminate distracting thoughts, while he could hear Liu Zhi and Erhu talking to each other from time to time.

"With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, there are only a few days left until then. We should hurry up and get on the second round of blind dates."

"Why are you in a more hurry than I am? Even if Rong'er and I get together, we can't get married until after the New Year."

"Rong'er? Tsk tsk, we've only met once—"

"Bullshit! I saw her just yesterday!"

Li Yi listened with a smile when suddenly a man walked in from outside the hall. He was the chief clerk of the prefectural governor's office in the county town. He had been dealing with Sanyi Manor quite a bit recently, and the two sides were quite familiar with each other.

"Registrar Zhu, you've come to ask my master for more magical techniques again?" Li Erhu greeted him upon seeing him.

As early as the beginning of the Three Nines, when the army captured the border of the Great Yan, Li Yi's "Lingmingqing" technique began to show its potential and was highly regarded among the wood element cultivators in the army. Recently, it has become increasingly famous.

While this "Clear Mind" cannot enhance physical strength, it can keep one clear-headed during combat, improve mental agility, and has great benefits.

effect.

When the expedition first began, there weren't many soldiers with sufficient military merits. As time went by, many who couldn't earn a lot of military merits were able to accumulate them over time. The number of merits they could exchange increased significantly after the end of the Three Nines. Recently, the new Fourth Battalion has been injected with new blood, which has already accumulated nearly two hundred third-rank military merits for Li Yi.

If military merits can be exchanged for higher ranks, and considering the original amount, it would amount to nearly forty fourth-rank military merits, enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment technique for Zhang Junyi.

Li Yi secretly regretted it, then smiled at the registrar Zhu and asked, "How much do we need to replenish this time?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to save up more, preferably around thirty," Chief Clerk Zhu congratulated him first, then hurriedly added, "I'm afraid you don't have much spiritual energy left, so the army has given you an extra three Wood Spirit Pills as a reward."

That's a good relationship.

Li Yi had no objection and was about to return to the city with him when another soldier walked up to the entrance of the barracks and strode over.

"Commander Liu has ordered that Commander Li select five elite soldiers to report to the government office immediately."

"Understood."

After seeing the man off, Li Yi thought for a moment and then called up the three junior officers, Zhong Wending, Guan Tian, ​​and the other four men.

The commander's mansion was also located in the garrison fort. It was a small, unremarkable two-courtyard house, with only life-sized potted plants placed on both sides of the main hall for decoration.

Liu Tianyun was sitting upright in the central hall, waiting. When Li Yi and the other six entered, he said directly, "Commander Meng is still seriously injured. The two scout teams will be under my direct command for the time being. As for what Commander Zhong said, the internal structure of Liangjie Mountain is similar to that of the human body. I presume you have already heard about it?"

Li Yi nodded, as if he had understood something, and continued, "If we take the human body as a reference, then no matter how complicated it is, we should be able to find out the general pathway."

Liu Tianyun nodded to himself, a smile appearing on his face. "I brought this up before the Commander-in-Chief, so the task naturally falls to the garrison. Since Commander Zhong already led the search yesterday, how about Commander Li lead the reconnaissance this time?"

Li Yi rose and bowed, "Your subordinate obeys."

"Go."

Liu Tianyun waved with a smile, and as Li Yi turned to walk away, he suddenly called him back. After dismissing He Shouli and the other five, he sighed and said, "I suppose Commander Li can sense Commander Meng's attitude towards you. Yesterday's trip should have included you, so this time I will make up for it on your behalf."

Li Yi's eyes were strange. "Lord Meng and Commander Shi are—"

"He's just a promising junior from the past. Backstabbing and infighting are the last things the military needs."

Liu Tianyun spoke with considerable emotion, looked at Li Yi again, and waved his hand, saying, "Go."

Since Commander Liu had not specified a time for exploring the mountain, the sooner the better. Therefore, Li Yi had no choice but to put aside the matter of filling in the magic spell and set off on horseback immediately.

Two hours later, at the end of Qiujiang River, at the foot of Liangjie Mountain.

Sun Xueming stood in the valley, looking around. "Tell me," he said, "is this place an eye, a nose, or an ear?"

"Why bother with all this?" Chang Heng said, stepping past him. "Let's go inside and talk about it."

Chung Wending also looked thoughtful, "Since this valley is not exposed, it can only be an eye or a nostril."

"The passage for the nostrils should point north, but Zhong Ming says it points south, so it should be the eye opening."

Chang Heng turned around and stared blankly at Zhong Wending and Li Yi, then cast a strange look at Sun Xueming.

Wait, why are we actually discussing this?

Li Yi's expression was serious, not like he was joking. He walked straight into the cave. "Since you guessed it was an eye orifice, then follow the Yangming Stomach Meridian, down to the Chengqi acupoint, all the way to the ninth acupoint, Renying, which leads to the throat. After that, the path should be much clearer."

Guan Tian followed silently, and Zhong Wending caught up, saying, "I heard that after the Five Elements Daoist exhausted his Qi, he was..."

Our predecessors wielded swords to cut someone in half at the waist, a practice that embodies the inhumanity of our time. If you wish to explore further, you can go directly into the esophagus, down through the stomach and intestines.

Li Yi nodded slightly, somewhat surprised by the reason behind the inhumanity.

No wonder the Two Realms Mountain, which separates the two great martial dynasties so tightly, still leaves a wide road between them; the reason is quite simple.

So, the rugged path to the south must also be from an injury?

The group entered the cave one after another, leaving only Chang Heng standing there somewhat dazedly until Sun Xueming turned around and cast a disdainful glance at him. Only then did Chang Heng lower his chin and chase after Sun Xueming in embarrassment and annoyance.
