Chapter 603
Building the Strongest Shaolin Temple in Another World Chapter 603
Mo Tianxie was not as Huo Yuanzhen imagined. As soon as he took hold of the religious power, he immediately swept the rivers and lakes. The entire Demon Sect of the Tianshan Mountains was unusually calm. Even many people didn't even know that Mo Tianxie had become the Sect Lord again.
But Huo Yuanzhen understands that Mo Tianxie's painstaking efforts to regain the position of Sect Lord definitely didn't mean to just stay silent. His ambition is unimaginable, and he was determined to surpass Ding Bu' er is evident.
Perhaps he is integrating Demon Sect's internal forces, or there may be unsettled factors that have not been dealt with, in short, such peaceful days will not last forever.
But for Shaolin Temple, now is the best time.
Huo Yuanzhen knew that he must make Shaolin first under the heavens, and I am afraid that one day he will meet Mo Tianxie, but before that, Shaolin and Demon Sect are not enemies.
After bringing Murong Qiuyu back, Huo Yuanzhen began to devote himself to cultivation again.
Now Shaolin's development momentum is good, there are no enemies in the rivers and lakes, and Huo Yuanzhen basically doesn't need to worry about the usual things, everything is on track, the monks perform their own duties, everyone is self-disciplined, and there is no other Jianghu Sect Pie chaos.
Huo Yuanzhen's primary task now is to improve and improve, and progress and progress.
Although I learned Great Star Absorption Art, cultivated Beiming Inner Strength, and learned Cold Ice Palm from the Torch Order, these martial arts are basically impossible to use.
Just as Huo Yuanzhen can't use Shaolin's distinctive martial arts after putting on makeup, he can't easily use non-Shaolin's martial arts after removing his disguise.
After all, as an abbot, you still have to play an exemplary role, and everything is in the interests of Shaolin.
From mid-December, Huo Yuanzhen returned to Shaolin, and until the end of December, Huo Yuanzhen never left the Abbot's Court, except for a one-night stay with Ning Wanjun and the others on the first day. .
Nearly ten days of sleepless cultivation made Huo Yuanzhen's internal strength a great improvement again.
The three-point Yin-Yang Qi group in the body has reached a diameter of one meter four.
Huo Yuanzhen is completely in the cultivation of Young Boy Art, because the progress of Darknorth Divine Art can absorb the opponent's skill, if deliberately going to cultivation is not beautiful, he will put all his mind on Young Boy Art, these After days of cultivation, Young Boy Art is halfway through the Innate Early-Stage to the Innate Realm Middle Stage.
Huo Yuanzhen estimates that when the three-point Yin-Yang Qi in his body reaches 1.6 meters in diameter before Beiming does not break through to Innate, then his Young Boy Art will reach the Innate Realm Middle Stage when.
The joy of cultivation made Huo Yuanzhen almost forget about other things. It was not until December 22 that Huo Yuanzhen stopped cultivation because an unexpected news interrupted him.
************************
The Northwest Region is independent!
Independence on the northwest side is nothing new. The northwest general Ma Daoyuan and the Imperial Court have been fighting for a while, and the Imperial Court has been unable to take the northwest. The quagmire of war has exhausted everyone's enthusiasm.
After Zhao Yuankui became emperor, he was unable to reverse this unfavorable situation. Because winter was coming and the northwest region was cold, everyone thought that the battle would not end before winter, so whatever he did The listless, looking forward to the early arrival of winter, so that everyone can rest.
The ancient war practice, generally in the winter, will automatically truce, because the winter is cold, the roads are difficult, the logistics supply is difficult, once encountered a wind and snow barrier, the warriors are short of clothes and food, and they are easy to freeze to death in the desert. In the countryside, let alone fighting.
Even Zhao Yuankui himself thinks that there will be no results before winter, and he can only make calculations after the spring flowers bloom next year.
Winter is here, it snows, the two sides automatically truce, and the Imperial Court's expedition army also automatically stops, stationed in the only city in the Hexi area that is still controlled by the Imperial Court, Cold State City.
At the beginning, the Imperial Court army was also wary of Ma Daoyuan's army sneak attack, but as time went on, it was the end of December, and it was a new year, and people were all No vigilance.
However, Ma Daoyuan was in danger. On the 18th of December, he dispatched troops to attack Cold State City at night, and cooperated with the inside and outside of the city to conquer Liang Province in one fell swoop and take the Imperial Court's The 100,000 troops in the West Conquest were wiped out.
These troops were in the barracks and were told to shovel the snow and stock up on hay. As a result, the snow was swept away and they were set on fire in the middle of the night.
There is no snow to put out the fire, and there is hay everywhere. Countless people are buried in the fire sea. The only exit is to be firmly guarded by the enemy. Under the leadership of some martial arts experts, wantonly slaughter, only small In one hour, more than 9,000 corpses fell from this exit.
The collapsed Imperial Court army collectively defected under the threat of death, surrendered on the spot, and accepted the reorganization of Ma Daoyuan's army.
100,000 troops marched to the west, more than 30,000 were killed, 50,000 surrendered, and some were seriously injured or missing.
After taking control of the situation, Ma Daoyuan immediately marched his army in the wind and snow, and took all the territory of Liang Province west of the Yellow River. The Imperial Court defenders were distracted and collapsed on the first encounter. In less than three days, the entire area west of the Yellow River no longer had an inch of land in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and there was no longer a single defender of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
And Ma Daoyuan announced to the outside world that after the Spring Festival, that is, the first day of the first lunar month, the country will be established.
The area of Great Xia is almost equivalent to half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, not to mention the big cities such as You Prefecture, Liang Province, Shazhou, etc., and also conquered some small countries and city-states in the western borders.
The Yellow River line of defense is the boundary between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Xia. The Imperial Court lost thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Hexi. It wants to recover and is powerless, but fears that Ma Daoyuan's army will take advantage of the situation to kill the Yellow River and threaten the safety of Lanzhou. It turned Lanzhou into the front line, built beacon towers along the river, and defended the Yellow River.
Ma Daoyuan's army did not kill the Yellow River. He knew that the Imperial Court would send troops to recover Liang Province in the short term, so he took this opportunity to build the Yellow River defense line.
Both sides want to stick to it, the Yellow River here has become a border, and the situation of governance across the river has been formed.
Wait until this winter is over, whoever wants to attack the other side next year will probably become an extravagant hope.
This incident shook the world. Originally, the entire northwestern region was a prosperous Tang, but after the Ma Daoyuan rebellion, Shazhou, You Prefecture, and Ganzhou did not belong to the prosperous Tang. Only Liang Province is still in the hands of Imperial Court.
Nowadays, the great rivers and mountains with a radius of 10,000 miles have become another country, and the Imperial Court's army is actually unable to kill the Yellow River. These things make Zhao Yuankui, who has just been enthroned as the emperor, devastated.
********************
The news reached the Central Plains and Shaolin Temple.
Huo Yuanzhen has always been more concerned about the country's affairs, but he doesn't want to take care of this matter at all, and he has no ability to take care of it. Jianghu people should look like Jianghu people, especially if they are monks.
But one message caught Huo Yuanzhen's attention.
That is the Jianghu people who helped Ma Daoyuan's army block the Imperial Court army in the first battle of Liang Province.
The exit at that time was the main entrance of the barracks, and the rest of the place had become a fire sea.
Because the people from Ma Daoyuan also have to leave a passage for themselves to enter and exit, there is no fire at the main entrance.
The main gate becomes the only Life and Death Gate. You know, there are 100,000 troops ready to flee. Who can stop them when they charge?
So this matter is almost unimaginable in Huo Yuanzhen's view.
But the fact is that the 100,000 people in Imperial Court did not charge ahead, because Ma Daoyuan not only arranged catapults, archers and many obstacles at the exit, but also a group of Jianghu people got involved.
At that time, it was General Ouyang, the commander-in-chief of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, who commanded the Imperial Court army to charge. Directly shoot General Ouyang to death!
As soon as the coach died, several adjutants fought each other and led the sergeants to charge indiscriminately, which gave Ma Daoyuan's army a chance.
Although the news is not very detailed, Huo Yuanzhen can fully imagine how important the role played by those Jianghu people in this battle.
It can be said that the first shot that killed the prosperous Tang coach played an almost decisive role.
If the coach hadn't died, Ma Daoyuan's army might not be able to block it, because at that time, because it was a night attack, Ma Daoyuan's army entered the city less than 10,000 people, but there were only a few thousand people. , dragged forcibly one hour, and waited until the arrival of the last reinforcements, completely ruining the fate of the Imperial Court army.
If the Imperial Court army rushed out at that time and wiped out Ma Daoyuan's army, then Liang Province would not be lost, and might even organize a counterattack, everything would be different.
So this blade, in Huo Yuanzhen's view, is the most crucial one.
General Ouyang is very cautious, and regards his own life more than anything else. When charging, he commanded from a distance, and he was killed by a killing blade. It can be seen that the person who shot was definitely An expert, Huo Yuanzhen estimates, is an expert at the Innate Realm Late Stage.
Just when Huo Yuanzhen guessed whether this Jianghu man was the man who used the flying knife last time, another message came.
The emperor Ma Daoyuan, who was about to ascend the throne of Great Xia, announced that Luohua Shenjiao was established as the state religion, and all the citizens of the Great Xia Empire were untrustworthy to other sects.
The Sect Lord of Luohua Sect was conferred as Luohua Holy Mother by Ma Daoyuan himself, and a gossip said that Ma Daoyuan once said that as long as Luohua Holy Mother is willing, the position of Queen Great Xia will be It's hers at all times.
Huo Yuanzhen had never heard of Luohua Shenjiao before, but this time such a big thing happened, he also thought of a lot of things.
Obviously, the Jianghu people who used the flying knives were from the Luohua Shenjiao and made meritorious deeds in the war, so Ma Daoyuan discussed the merits and made the Luohua Shenjiao the state religion.
But who is this Luohua Holy Mother? Will it be Li Qinghua who uses a flying knife?
If it was Li Qinghua, what happened to Dongfang Qing who went to seek her revenge very early?
Thinking of this, Huo Yuanzhen suddenly felt a burst of heart palpitations, Dongfangqing, why is there no news yet? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
