Ancestral land, heaven, Daxuan.
After experiencing the panic at the beginning of the moonlight transmission, the human race also reacted.
Emperor Daxuan, Ye Heng, hurt his heart, released the three tripods of luck, and distributed them to officials at all levels in Daxuan. He performed the emperor's great art of "emperor's grace", allowing all officials to "promote three levels in a row".
Ninth-rank county magistrates become masters, seventh-rank magistrates become Confucian scholars, and third-rank department halls...Luck is not enough, so it's up to you.
It's just that such a great technique is based on the national fortune. Once the national fortune is exhausted, the officials will return to their original grades, and it will even damage the Confucianism.
Han Changli once mentioned this matter in a poem, and said in a metaphorical way: "A letter to the nine heavens in the morning, and eight thousand in Chaozhou Road in the evening."
However, under this "majestic grace", almost all officials accepted it without hesitation.
At this moment, as long as they can gain the power to protect Li Shu, they can pay any price.
As the saying goes, "If you want to eliminate evils for the sage, you will be willing to spend the rest of your life."
…
"Your Majesty..." Hou An walked up to Ye Heng with a bowl of medicinal food, and said softly, "Eat something..."
Ye Heng shook his head. After using "Emperor's Enormous Grace", he was no longer as energetic as before. At this time, his eye sockets were sunken and wrinkles on his face were obvious, as if he had aged ten years overnight.
"How's the situation?" Ye Heng waved his hand and asked.
"So far, there are eighteen thousand three hundred and sixty-four officials who died in the country..."
"What about the people?"
"The people... are innumerable..." Hou An sighed softly, and then said quickly, "However, the heavy city that belongs to the prefecture city is protected by formations, and there are many great Confucian scholars sitting in the town, and the people in the surrounding towns are protected by officials. Most of them went to such heavy cities to take refuge, and the losses were relatively small."
Ye Heng closed his eyes: "Havoc..."
"It's me who is not virtuous..."
"Your Majesty..." Hou An looked at Ye Heng distressedly, and sighed, "This is a game that the barbarians have laid out for hundreds of years."
"Even Emperor Linhuang and Wudi have never eradicated the barbarians. This thousand-day defense against thieves will eventually be neglected with a hundred secrets. Your Majesty must not blame himself."
"When the old slave came, I heard from Minister Wen that the barbarians almost invested nearly 20% of their power in this moonlight transmission overnight!"
Ye Heng suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Hou An: "Twenty percent!"
Don't say that 20% doesn't seem like a lot. For the size of human races and barbarians, 20% clan strength can already destroy the world.
Taking the human race as an example, there are 10% clan power, of which 30% are outside the sky to guard against the demons, 30% are in the northern border to prepare for the barbarians, 20% are guarding the southern border, 10% are scattered in the East China Sea and Western Regions, and only 10% are guarding the territory of Daxuan.
Later, when Chen Luo conquered the Southern Wilderness, he liberated 20% of the clan power, 10% of which went to the northern border for reinforcements, and 10% still stayed in the southern border to prevent accidents.
As for the East China Sea and the Western Regions, although Chen Luo also subdued them, a large number of manpower was needed to manage the Western Regions, so all the forces that were originally responsible for the defense of Yuanhai were also invested in the Western Regions.
Therefore, the current layout of Daxuan is 30% outside the sky, 40% in the northern region, 20% in the Western Regions, and 10% in the Southern Wilderness, and 10% are still guarding Daxuan!
On the other hand, the barbarians, if it is true that as Wen Xiang said, the power they sent almost accounted for 20% of the barbarian clan's power, then for the barbarians, this is almost the luck of the gambling clan.
After all, they still need to deploy forces in the northern border to hold the main force of the human race, which will account for almost 40% or even 50% of the clan power. As long as the northern border human race wins, whether it is to drive the barbarians or return to strangle, the barbarians will almost be beheaded Cut off luck.
"There is King Jing in the three southern states, and King Qilin entered the Xuan and passed through the southern border first, so the loss is the least at present." Hou An continued, "The Western Regions have also set off to help, but the distance is too far, except for the semi-sacred, Other support is slower."
Speaking of this, Hou An felt that he still needed to share some good news with Ye Heng, so he raised his volume a little and said, "But Your Majesty, it's not like we don't have good news."
"In the north, Xin Jiaxuan, King of Zhenxuanbei, canonized as a saint, crossed the realm of the first saint in one step, and became a half-sage."
"In the east, Li Changgu, the king of Zhenxuan, canonized the saint, wrote a poem into waves, and buried two barbarian gods."
"So far, the East, South, West, and North kings of Zhenxuansi's generation have all been canonized! This is rare in the past!"
"In addition, Chen Gongbi, the deputy minister of the bias office who went to Mozhou to support him, also became a half-sage of legalism in one fell swoop."
Speaking of this, Hou An paused, and continued: "In addition, among Chen Zhuguo's disciples, the sword **** Xie Xiaofeng and the Wuji son Song Wuji have also traveled thousands of miles!"
"Xie Xiaofeng is not yet twenty this year, so Song Wuji is just ten years old!"
"In the past dynasties, this is something worthy of special mention in the martial arts of emperors!"
Hearing Hou An's exaggerated tone, Ye Heng finally had a faint smile on his face.
"Don't coax me!"
"Now the common people are still in misery, my false name is not worth mentioning."
Hou An shook his head: "It's not just to make His Majesty happy, this old slave thinks that the most dangerous moment is over."
"The Western Regions return aid, and Yunlong goes to sea, which is enough to suppress the barbarian forces in the territory!"
Ye Heng was silent for a moment, raised his head, and looked at the somewhat dim sky outside the imperial study room: "If I were the barbarian emperor, wouldn't I not consider this."
Hou An's complexion changed: "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
"Since you are on the gambling table, there is no reason to be soft." Ye Heng shook his head, "The barbarian will not give up."
…
Barbarians, Wumei Snow Mountain.
Blood energy filled every corner of the mountainside. Walking in it was like walking in water, and one could clearly feel a sense of stickiness.
"Your Majesty..." Ta Gu bowed devoutly in front of Emperor Man.
In the formation of the Great Banner, the Man Emperor slowly opened his eyes, looked at the tower bone, and asked in a gentle tone, "Is everything in the Man City settled?"
"Return to Your Majesty, everything has been arranged." Ta Gu replied.
Emperor Man was silent for a moment, and then said: "Do you think this emperor is too cruel?"
"Ta Gu dare not." Ta Gu lowered his head.
Emperor Man nodded, and said: "Whether it is human race or barbarian race, the fundamental purpose is for the reproduction of the race..."
"The Heaven is different from the Man Heaven."
"The barbarian sky is immortal, and the barbarians are endless. This gives us the capital of the barbarians to come back again and again."
"Even if we go to the last step, as long as we endure for a hundred years, our barbarians will still prosper."
"Sacrifice is inevitable."
"Especially, our opponent is that powerful human race."
Ta Gu sighed softly: "Ta Gu is willing to follow in His Majesty's footsteps."
"The magic power is limited, and the summoned demon will hold it back for a while at most." Emperor Man looked at Yidu's body, and said softly, "After the two bright moon murders, we still need to deal with the returning human power from outside the sky."
"These are sacrifices that must be made."
After finishing speaking, Emperor Man paused: "Where is Han Changli?"
"Return to Your Majesty, Han Changli and Chen Xiyi were about to enter Mantian, but were blocked in the void by the four Great Elders of the Golden Tent." Ta Gu replied.
Emperor Man nodded.
Whether it is the Sanyang Great Man God or the Full Moon Great Man Sacrifice, in the barbarians, there will always be an honorary title, that is, the Great Elder of the Golden Tent.
In other words, four barbarian gods and barbarians who were similar in level to Sanwen Bansheng stopped Han Changli and Chen Xiyi in a two-on-one manner.
"Blessed by Heavenly Father, there are currently nine Great Elders of the Golden Tent under Mantian." Emperor Mantian said calmly, "Three of them were lost in the battle of Dongcang City. Although there are already alternatives to receive blessings, but It has not been broken in a short time.”
"The remaining six Great Elders of the Golden Tent, Han and Li have held back four of them!"
"I have to say, the way of the human race, the further it goes, the stronger it really is."
Ta Bone thought for a while, and said: "Compared to the self-cultivation of the human race, my barbarian way is indeed a little vain. There may be advantages in the early stage, but in the later stages of cultivation, especially after the Qiankun realm, it is inevitable that it will be weaker in comparison."
"However, the human race has more enemies to deal with. If it weren't for Chen Luo's conquest of the Southern Wilderness, the destruction of the Western Regions, and the flattening of the Yuanhai, this time it is already in danger."
"Besides, Palace Master Artes and Palace Master Sacre, relying on Manshen Palace and Mantian Palace, may not lose to Han Changli and Chen Xiyi one-on-one."
"As long as the Heavenly Outer Saints are restrained and they don't return to aid on a large scale in a short period of time, then the advantage is still with me!"
Emperor Man was noncommittal, but changed the subject again: "My God, is it getting dark?"
"Return to Your Majesty, you can rise to the moon."
Emperor Man nodded again, raised a hand, and pointed at Lamia's body.
The next moment, the raised hand exploded into pieces, condensed into a drop of blood, and fell into the forehead of Lamia's corpse.
The corpse of Lamia, who had been silent for a day, opened his eyes again, and the bright moon appeared in his eyes!
…
Mozhou, Tianli City.
If Fang City is the private land of the Fang family, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Li City is the holy city of the Fang family, and even the entire Fang Li lineage.
Because it was here that Fang Yin was immediately sanctified.
And this place also has an alias, called the Thirteen Holy City.
Because in the center of Tianli City, according to Fang Sheng's intention, a statue of thirteen people was erected. The thirteen saints will appear, and the thirteen holy cities will come from this.
Due to the existence of the Fang family, Mozhou has always been Fang Li's stronghold, and today in Li City, Fang Li is even more prevalent.
It's just that since the Daoist Controversy in the Bamboo Forest, Fang Li has declined, and the entire Tianli City has fallen into confusion and struggle. Some Confucian scholars broke up and then changed to other ways, while others complained about themselves and allowed their cultivation to continue to decline.
In the past, the big city with strict customs and strict etiquette has gone to the other extreme in a short period of time. There are many brothels, drunks are rampant, and people can be seen going crazy every moment...
Sometimes, the collapse is just overnight, but the rebuilding takes a generation or even the efforts of several generations.
This is true of cities, and even more so of people's hearts.
However, a sudden barbarian attack intervened.
As a big city with a population of one million, Tianli City naturally has a defensive formation. However, there are too many traces of Fang Sheng in Tianli City, so this protective formation was naturally arranged by Fang Li's lineage. As a result, because of Fang Li's decline, the countless protective formations lost their rational support and were completely vulnerable.
At the moment of life and death, the thirteen holy statues suddenly erupted with majestic aura, and a familiar yet unfamiliar aura of the holy way permeated the whole city.
Immediately afterwards, a scarlet banner seemed to appear in the sky. The banner was damaged, and the characters on it were unclear, but the wind was strong. Under the banner, thirteen figures walked out from the thirteen statues, blocking the first wave of barbarian attacks.
A Confucian named Fang Li was at a loss at first, then ecstatically, and then wept bitterly, shouting loudly: "It is Fang Sheng, Fang Sheng is still there, Fang Sheng is still there!"
But is Fang Sheng really still there?
These are just the thirteen breaths injected by Fang Sheng when the withered statue was completed.
These breaths were not guarded until the end, but they bought time for the arrival of other reinforcements.
…
"Mother, it's getting dark." In a yamen refuge, a simple formation propped up a weak light curtain, and there were women, children and children in the light curtain. A girl who looked no more than four or five years old was held in her mother's arms, looked at the sky, and said with fear.
The mother hugged the child tightly, not knowing how to relieve the child's tension.
She was originally the concubine daughter of the Fang family, married to the son of a respected Confucianist, although she has not yet given birth to a boy, relying on the status of the Fang family, she lives a carefree life.
But since the bamboo forest dispute, my father-in-law disappeared, my husband went to the north, and those relatives also lost contact with each other. The happy life was ruthlessly broken.
She didn't know the holy way, but he knew that the Fang family lost.
She hates it, but she doesn't even know who she hates because she doesn't leave the door.
She only knew that the most famous disciple in this bamboo forest was Martial Patriarch Chen Luo, and the biggest murderer who caused the Fang family's failure was also Chen Luo.
Then hate him!
But…
She looked up, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who was not good-looking, but she was full of energy, walked up to her, raised her hand to touch her child's head, and took out a candy from her sleeve pocket and handed it to her. , softly said: "Don't be afraid, sister will protect you..."
"Thank you." She subconsciously wanted the child to refuse the girl's candy, but when the words came to her lips, she turned them into a thank you.
She turned her head, and there were quite a few women like this girl around, all wearing white clothes, but now all of them were covered in blood, their cuffs were embroidered with colorful patterns, and each of them was holding a long sword, either patrolling or meditating.
It was them, who seemed to descend from the sky yesterday, and rescued them from those brutal barbarians.
They said that they were from Dongcang and were disciples of the Emei lineage of the Martial Academy.
They are disciples of Martial Patriarch Chen Luo!
"Women, can you be so heroic?" For a moment, the hatred in the heart of this concubine from the Fang family was shaken.
If she was twenty years younger, she thought, she would also want to join them.
But now, she looked at the daughter in her arms and sighed softly.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, the senior sister of this group of girls killed three great barbarian emperors with a single sword! My God, that's a barbarian who is equivalent to a first-grade Confucianism!"
"I heard that a half saint is coming, we should be safe, right?"
"Fang Sheng bless, Fang Sheng bless..."
The concubine of the Fang family heard whispers from other people, she shook her head, obviously everyone was running for their lives, where did they get this information?
This is really unbelievable for her who has never left her own house after marriage.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded.
The girl who was still comforting her daughter suddenly changed her face, pulled out her long sword, and said loudly: "Enemy attack!"
"Array!"
The concubine of the Fang family looked at the sky, and saw countless moonlight condensed into pillars, making a comeback!
…
The battle became intense almost at the moment of the battle.
The continuous roar caused by the magical powers shook everyone's eardrums.
In various refuges, the protection composed of luck and formations is crumbling in the aftermath of the battle, and all the people are huddled together, waiting for the judgment of fate.
But soon, bad news came.
A sense of sadness permeated the air, and then a figure appeared from the void and fell into the ground.
This is, there is a half-holy saint!
A Fang Li semi-sage who came to support during the day today was beheaded and killed by the barbarian gods in the void battle three quarters after the moon rose, and the saint died in Tianli City.
For a moment, the balance of the battlefield was broken, and the barbarian **** tore through the void and fell in front of the thirteen statues in Tianli City.
"Hahahaha, today, slaughter the city!" The barbarian roared to the sky, and the sound spread throughout the city. He swung the giant hammer in his hand, and slammed it hard at the thirteen statues, but the next moment, a crisp voice sounded, The same resounded through Tianli City.
"you try!"
"Dang!" The sledgehammer that hit the thirteen statues was blocked, the barbarian frowned, looked intently, and saw a pretty figure under the sledgehammer, with long hair casually tied into a ponytail, dressed in sky The cyan long gown was holding two Emei thorns in his hands at this time, holding his giant hammer.
"Huh? Four Masters of Martial Arts, Su Qianqian?" The barbarian recognized the identity of the person coming, but then raised his giant hammer and threw it at Su Qianqian again.
At this time, Su Qianqian didn't even have a woman's charming look, her figure flickered, she didn't retreat but advanced, and she wanted to fight that brute in close quarters!
Man Shen was also taken aback by Su Qianqian's move, but he didn't react for a while, and fell into Su Qianqian's rhythm. The pair of Emei thorns shone coldly in Su Qianqian's hands, and every move was aimed at the deadly spot of the barbarian god, which actually forced the barbarian **** back ten steps!
Someone once asked Adama to comment on the martial arts talent. Adamo didn't say much, but just smiled and said modestly that he had a safe word; Xie Xiaofeng used a sword, but used up a dangerous word; There was a word "wonderful" in the hand, and when he finally said Su Qianqian, Adamo shook his head slightly.
"Senior Sister Su..."
"fierce!"
After saying this, most people nodded in praise, but only a few people approved of Su Qianqian's evaluation.
After all, in the eyes of many martial arts talents, the only woman among the four heroes, Su Qianqian, the master sister of Emei, is like a fairy in Linfan. , is the white moonlight in the hearts of countless people.
How can such a person be fierce?
In this regard, Aji can only sigh secretly that these people are too ignorant.
Think about the things that Su Qianqian has experienced, the family is ruined, the maid was raped to death by gangsters in order to save herself, and what was the first martial art that Su Qianqian learned?
Nine Yin White Bone Claws!
For revenge, she, who was originally Jiao Didi's eldest lady, would dig up corpses to practice kung fu!
If Chen Luo hadn't untied her knot in time, Su Qianqian would have been possessed.
Those people have never seen a serious Su Qianqian!
Adama once guessed that Su Qianqian walked the deepest on the road of the world of mortals. Perhaps, she was the first warrior in the world of mortals to step out thousands of miles.
…
Su Qianqian succeeded in the strong attack, and then made fierce moves, beating the wild **** until he couldn't breathe. This kind of attack completely disregarded the defense, and every attack was fighting for the opponent's life, making it difficult for the barbarian to parry for a while.
But it didn't take long for the barbarian to react. First, he took the initiative to retreat a few steps in exchange for a little room for adjustment, and then pumped up all his blood, and attacked Su Qianqian fiercely.
In this head-on collision, Su Qianqian was naturally at a disadvantage. She was sent flying by the earthquake and hit the statue of the thirteen saints before falling down.
"Sure enough, it's still a bit worse." Su Qianqian coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Su Qianqian, no matter how strong you are, you still haven't reached ten thousand miles." The barbarian looked at Su Qianqian and snorted, "This **** will not kill you. This **** will abolish your cultivation, take it back and enjoy it !"
"Presumably with your foundation, you won't be killed so easily!"
When Su Qianqian heard this, her eyes suddenly turned cold.
The barbarian raised the stone hammer and suddenly attacked Su Qianqian again, but the next one, a ray of light lit up, and on Su Qianqian's head, the phantom of a small apricot flag appeared, covering Su Qianqian , blocked the attack of the barbarian.
Su Qianqian let out a long breath.
She raised her head, didn't look at the manly god, but just looked at the sky, as if a colorful avenue appeared in her eyes.
"Young master..."
"Reassurance ape, tie the horse!"
"However, there is a thread of love in Qianqian that keeps cutting me off."
"It's obvious that one step is thousands of miles, but I... can't bear it!"
"Adamo has seen it through, and you have seen it through too..."
Su Qianqian smiled, but two lines of tears flowed from her eyes.
"Disciple today, cut off the thread of love and set foot in the universe!"
"Chen Luo..."
After finishing speaking Su Qianqian slowly closed her eyes, and immediately, a mysterious Taoist rhyme emanated from her body.
The face of the barbarian changed, and he lifted the heavy hammer again and was about to smash the light curtain constructed by the phantom of the apricot-yellow flag. sounded—
"Misty rain and sky blue cause trouble, nine shades and white bones make waves."
"The extinct love silk goes to the sky, and the martial arts peaks are another mountain."
…
At the same time, Lingzhou, Bamboo Forest.
An aura slowly emerged, and no one noticed it at first, but soon, the situation changed, and then it was quickly restrained.
"Congratulations, teacher, you have passed the test with three questions!" Zhulin Laoqi's voice sounded immediately.
