At first, Chisongzi thought that the other party had a conspiracy and deliberately acted like this to make them relax their vigilance, and then launch a surprise attack when they were not prepared.
But for the next few days, they had no intention of attacking Taiyi Mountain and just stayed where they were. The commander Gongsun Yu often took his guards to hunt nearby, but he never set foot in the Taoist Taiyi Mountain, seeming to keep to himself.
After so many days, Chisongzi has already found out who the leader of this army is.
Therefore, it feels even more interesting. Gongsun Yu should be able to see the situation clearly and does not really want to provoke them, the Taoists.
In this case, they would not take the initiative to attack the Weiguo army.
Peace and tranquility is the best state.
Chapter 290: Wouldn't it hurt if you treated your lovely junior sister like this?
At the back of Taiyi Mountain, Bai Yuan was sitting in the yard drinking tea and teaching Xiao Meng swordsmanship on behalf of his master Bei Mingzi.
There was no movement from Gongsun Yu these days, so Bai Yuan temporarily returned to his leisurely life.
At this moment, in the yard besides him, Ningyan and others, Yanfei, Yueshen and the eldest son Siming were also here.
They arrived early the next morning after Bai Yuan and others returned to Taiyi Mountain.
Originally they came here to support the Taoists, but who knew that Gongsun Yu did not play by the rules. He brought 20,000 people and stopped 20 miles away from Taiyi Mountain without moving a single step.
Taoists don't need support at all.
However, Yan Fei and others still temporarily stayed in Taiyi Mountain under the pretext of supporting Taoism, and came to Bai Yuan every day to eat and drink.
Now all the Taoist disciples in Taiyi Mountain know that the two guardians and two elders of Yin-Yang School go to Bai Yuan every day.
Sometimes when Bai Yuan was walking on the street, he would see Taoist elders giving him a meaningful look.
But Bai Yuan did not explain too much. Yan Fei and the others didn't care about other people's opinions, so why should he go around explaining to others stupidly?
Sometimes, silence is golden!
Yan Fei and Yue Shen would often come to Bai Yuan, naturally they had their own little thoughts.
Although Donghuang Taiyi had told Bai Yuan before that he would not directly arrange a marriage between Yan Fei or Yue Shen and him, and that it would ultimately depend on how their relationship developed, he would still make this happen and assist Bai Yuan behind the scenes.
Therefore, Donghuang Taiyi had specifically talked to the two of them, asking them to have more contact with Bai Yuan, which would only be beneficial to the Yin-Yang Family and themselves.
Yan Fei and Yue Shen also agreed with Donghuang Taiyi's words.
After all, they have felt how magical Bai Yuan is when they were around him. Not to mention anything else, just the "Fu Shou Quan" that Bai Yuan made in the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital last time not only doubled their internal strength out of thin air, but also extended their lifespan by twenty years.
Since then, both of them even found that their skin became more delicate and they looked younger and more energetic.
And only Bai Yuan can do this.
So naturally, the two of them were willing to have more contact with him.
Soon it was almost noon and Ningyan and others had already prepared lunch.
Xiao Meng practiced sword for the whole morning and was exhausted. She was very hungry.
My stomach growled at the smell of that tempting aroma.
"Okay, let's just practice here and eat first."
Bai Yuan smiled and waved to him.
Hearing this, Xiao Meng immediately put down the wooden sword in her hand, went to wash her face, and then quickly ran to the yard and sat down. It was obvious from her familiarity that this was not the first time Xiao Meng had stayed here to eat.
While staring at the delicacies on the table, she secretly glanced at Bai Yuan's handsome and unrestrained face and couldn't help but pout.
Although Bai Yuan sometimes likes to tease her, it must be said that under Bai Yuan's guidance, her swordsmanship level has improved rapidly.
In addition, the food here in Bai Yuan is very good, Xiao Meng likes it very much.
After a delicious meal, Xiao Meng touched her bulging belly and didn't want to move anymore.
After resting for a while, Xiao Meng suddenly asked Bai Yuan about some questions regarding the cultivation of her mental skills.
"Brother, I have recently encountered bottlenecks in my cultivation of Heart Like Still Water and Ten Thousand Rivers Autumn Water. I cannot calm my mind when cultivating Heart Like Still Water, and I cannot concentrate when cultivating Ten Thousand Rivers Autumn Water."
"Oh? It seems like you've encountered a lot of troubles at such a young age!"
Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Meng with a smile.
"No, I just have some doubts about my understanding of Tao recently. What exactly is the Tao that Tianzong is talking about?"
Xiao Meng tilted her head and looked at Bai Yuan, hoping to get an answer from him.
In Xiao Meng's opinion, among the Taoists today, apart from the head brother and the master, Bai Yuan should be the most powerful, so his understanding of Taoism should be very deep.
When Yan Fei and Yue Shen heard Xiao Meng's question, they looked at Bai Yuan curiously. Their Yin-Yang School was also pursuing "Tao", but in a different way.
So they still really want to know how Bai Yuan views "Tao".
Bai Yuan smiled softly.
"The Dao has long been recorded in the Daojing: There is a thing that is mixed and formed before the heaven and earth. It is so quiet and lonely! It is independent and unchanging, and it circulates without danger. It can be the mother of the world."
"The Tao is the root of change. It is neither born nor destroyed, has no form or shape, has no beginning or end, and encompasses everything. It is so great that it has no outside, and so small that it has no inside. It changes as it passes, but it remains unchanged from eternity."
After hearing what Bai Yuan said, Xiao Meng, Yan Fei and others couldn't help but brighten up their eyes and think carefully in their hearts.
But what Bai Yuan said next made them stunned.
"All of the above are the insights of Taoist sages about Taoism. In fact, I personally don't care what Taoism is, because everything I do is practicing Taoism."
Bai Yuan's aura suddenly changed and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Everything you do is in accordance with the Way. Mr. Bai Yuan is really bold in saying that!"
Yan Fei and Yue Shen couldn't help but laugh.
"Instead of dwelling on what the Tao is, you might as well enjoy the present moment. As the saying goes, life is short, so enjoy it while you can. Xiao Meng, if your heart is as calm as still water and as calm as thousands of rivers and autumn waters, you will encounter bottlenecks, which means that you have set shackles for yourself and cannot do whatever you want, so you cannot send and receive freely."
"I have put shackles on myself?"
Xiao Meng suddenly thought of what Bei Mingzi said to her when she first became his disciple.
"Water is colorless and invisible. Its shackles may seem like teapots, but they are not. The same is true of human hearts!"
So from the very beginning, Bei Mingzi saw that she had a knot in her heart and used this opportunity to remind her.
Seeing Xiaomeng suddenly become dazed, Bai Yuan tapped her gently.
"Okay, stop thinking too much and continue practicing swordplay this afternoon! I'll check on you before dinner."
"Eh?"
"As usual, the loser will have a turtle drawn on his face!"
"Ah! Brother, if you want to bully me, just say so!"
When Xiaomeng heard about drawing a turtle, she immediately got furious.
This senior brother is still so hateful, he always uses this method to punish her.
Wouldn't it hurt his heart to paint that ugly turtle on the face of such a lovely junior sister?
Bai Yuan saw Xiao Meng's angry look, so he pretended to be sad, covered his chest and said:
"How can this be called bullying you? Brother, I am clearly concerned about you! I am so sad that you said that to me!"
"Lie!" Xiao Meng didn't fall for it and made a face at Bai Yuan, "Humph, this time I will definitely draw a turtle on your face!"
After saying that, she took the wooden sword and ran off to practice swordplay.
Ning Yan and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
Sometimes they also feel that Xiaomeng is a little too mature and her mentality is not what she should have at this age.
But none of them explored Xiaomeng's past, because they knew that it was definitely not a good memory.
Suffering is the best way to make people grow.
Now in Taoism, perhaps only Bai Yuan can make Xiao Meng behave like a child.
Of course, Xiao Meng was not stupid. She knew that everything Bai Yuan did was for her own good. So even though she said she was angry, she felt very warm in her heart.
Chapter 291 Bastard! How can you curse me like this!
Pang Nuan did not achieve much success in his battle against the 100,000-strong Lantian army led by Wang Jian.
Although Pang Nuan was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, his control over them was actually very limited. The coalition forces were not united and some of his orders were disobeyed in secret.
For example, before, they had been arguing within the coalition over who would be the vanguard, and the commanders of each country did not want to be the first to take the lead.
Being a vanguard means more danger.
They joined the alliance to gain benefits, but the vanguard army would often suffer huge losses, which would not be worth the loss.
Because of this, the coalition forces missed the opportunity from the very beginning.
Wang Jian also saw the flaws of the coalition forces, and instead of engaging in a head-on confrontation with the coalition forces, he attacked the armies of Han and Wei, causing the main generals of both countries to want to retreat, which left Pang Nuan somewhat helpless.
As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Pang Nuan felt very tired.
At this time, a deputy general came in hurriedly to report
"General, our people have discovered that the 20,000 troops led by Gongsun Yu have been stationed 20 miles away from Taiyi Mountain for several days. They have found several excuses to delay the march. I think they may not intend to attack Taiyi Mountain at all."
When Pang Nuan heard this, he immediately became furious.
He couldn't get angry at the main generals of Yan, Han and Wei, so how could he not do anything to Gongsun Yu, a young general from Wei?
"Gongsun Yu is so bold to disobey military orders. Does he think that I dare not touch him?"
Pang Nuan clenched his fists. He thought about how he had not gained any benefits from the Qin State. Now the coalition forces had already shown signs of retreating. This alliance might be coming to an end. But they could not return empty-handed, otherwise the alliance initiated by him would become a joke.
Pang Nuan, who is already old, does not want to lose his integrity in his later years.
After some thought, Pang Nuan decided to give it a try.
“Let Zhao Cong lead 10,000 elite cavalrymen to meet up with Gongsun Yu immediately, and then urge him to go to Taiyi Mountain. Even if we cannot destroy Qin this time, we must at least make the Taoists spit out some good things. Instead of using their treasures to help the tyrannical Qin, why not give them to our Zhao?”
When the deputy general heard Pang Nuan's order, he responded and immediately turned around to pass on the order.
Soon, Zhao Cong hurried away with 10,000 elite cavalry.
Naturally, this movement could not be concealed from the commanders of other countries.
In the Korean military camp, Ji Wuye was drinking fine wine and eating barbecue, looking extremely well-refreshed.
Drinking should be prohibited in the military camp, but he is the commander of the Korean army, so who can control him?
At this moment, Mo Ya was kneeling below, telling Ji Wuye the news that Zhao Cong had left with 10,000 people.
"Humph! It seems that Pang Yuan really has his eyes on the Taoist things, but it's hard to say whether he has the ability to get them."
"General, with Gongsun Yu's 20,000 men, that's a total of 30,000 troops. Can it be that we can't deal with a Taoist?"
"Taoism is one of the most mysterious schools of thought. It has been passed down for hundreds of years. Who knows how many hidden cards it has?"
Although Ji Wuye is arrogant and domineering, he is actually very smart.
Of course, it would be a good idea to let Pang Nuan and Gongsun Yu test the strength of Taoism this time. If they really succeed in snatching something good from Taoism, they can also follow suit.
On the other side, before Zhao Cong met up with Gongsun Yu, Gongsun Yu had already received an urgent letter from Pang Nuan.
After seeing the content of the letter, Gongsun Yu's face suddenly turned ugly.
"If it's a blessing, it won't be a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. It seems that we still can't avoid the conflict with the Taoists."
Gongsun Yu held the letter in his hand, his face showing a look of struggle.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the tent, and Gongsun Yu couldn't help but frowned.
He picked up the sword beside him and walked out of the tent.
"what happened?"
"General, someone broke into the camp and has been caught by us."
"Break into the camp? Bring it up!"
Gongsun Yu looked unfriendly and asked his lieutenant to bring the person up.
But after seeing that man, Gongsun Yu almost pulled out his beard.
"Um... Master... Hello... Long time no see."
