Chapter 134: Fighting the Demon (2)
On the hill, brothers Lu Yu, Lu Jun and Lu Yi were talking to each other.
Some things that Lu Yi didn't understand before finally got answers today.
For example, it was clearly the Daikonji that was working hard, but the slogan they used was "Red Lotus"!
The reason is that Honglian Temple is the most important branch among the three sects, three temples and three Zen temples of Buddhism today.
It’s not that the inheritance of Honglian Temple is so great.
The inheritance of Honglian Temple comes from the ancient Mahavairocana Pure World Sect.
When Lu Yu heard the name 'Great Brahma Pure World Sect', his heart skipped a beat, because the Red Lotus Immortal Body technique that he got for Ah Hu was the fundamental technique of the Great Brahma Pure World Sect!
The Mahabrahma Pure Land Sect was once the leader of Buddhism. As a branch of the Mahabrahma Pure Land Sect, the Honglian Temple naturally has a remarkable heritage.
However, when the Great Vajra Temple started the rebellion in Anping Prefecture, it used the name "Red Lotus" because there was a huge volcano created by nature in the Red Lotus Temple. Relying on that volcano, the Red Lotus Temple is now the only Buddhist sect that can still produce the "magic medicine" "Fire Red Lotus Seeds" on a large scale.
The 'Red Lotus Solid Pill' refined from the Fiery Red Lotus Seeds can make ordinary people's combat power soar, allowing ordinary mortals to have combat power close to the peak of Peiyuan Realm, or even half a step to Tuomai Realm.
The other elixirs made by the Red Lotus Goddess of the Red Lotus Temple using the fiery red lotus seeds are body-tempering elixirs that are urgently needed by various Buddhist sects, especially the Vajra Temple.
With the elixir from the Red Lotus Temple, cultivators can quickly complete the physical training in the 'Furnace Realm' and enter the 'Fire Realm' where 'vitality rises'.
In terms of cultivation realm, Lu Yu, who is still in the stage of opening acupoints, is only at the "Furnace Realm".
Lu Jun and Lu Yi have both entered the 'Realm of Fiery Fire', using their bodies as furnaces and their essence and blood as fuel, trying their best to raise their essence and blood and strengthen the innate fire in their bodies.
With Lu Jun and Lu Yi's qualifications and the current environment of the world, they will never be able to enter the Fiery Realm in their lifetime.
However, Lu Yu worked hard for the Great Vajra Temple in Beijie City, secretly recruited disciples for the Great Vajra Temple in the army, and also collected countless rare and precious medicinal materials with extremely high temperatures. Therefore, the Great Vajra Temple obtained several "Red Lotus Deliverance Pills" from the Red Lotus Temple, allowing the two brothers to complete their training in the Baking Furnace Realm and enter the Fiery Fire Realm in just half a year.
"So, this time we started an uprising in the name of Red Lotus, and let the Red Lotus Goddess take the bulk of the benefits first, so as to give birth to Fiery Red Lotus Seeds and quickly strengthen the foundation of Buddhism." Lu Jun patted Lu Yi on the shoulder: "When this matter is settled, you will definitely need a Red Lotus Deliverance Pill."
Lu Yi's eyes became bright in the night.
Although the Xuanyuan Divine Water is powerful, it takes three days to condense one drop, and he has a whole family to support. He doesn't know how much time it will take if he wants to rely on the Xuanyuan Divine Water to complete the physical training of the Honglu Realm.
Red Lotus Deliverance Pill?
It sounds like a good thing, we should make more of it.
Wang Pu’s military camp stretched for nearly two hundred miles inside and outside the valley.
The rioters rushed out of the mountains and forests and broke into the camp like galloping horses, right at the waist of the camp, not far from Wang Pu's central army.
Fences were smashed to pieces by the Dharma protectors of the outer gate of the Vajra Temple, and barricades were thrown far away by them. Arrow towers and sentry towers groaned shrilly and were knocked to the ground by their swing of arms.
In the camp, the large braziers used for night lighting were kicked up by the Dharma protectors, kerosene splashed everywhere, charcoal rolled, and large areas of tents were immediately ignited by the fire.
"I'll come to give them a boost." Lu Jun smiled. He took out a small windmill that looked like a child's toy and was only a foot long from the leather bag hanging around his waist.
The windmill is made entirely of an unknown metal, with countless wind patterns carved on it.
Lu Yi felt a slight fluctuation of spiritual inspiration. This was a treasure with extremely strong essence that still retained a trace of spirituality in this world.
Lu Yi stared at the small windmill intently.
Lu Jun bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the small windmill, and then pale golden light patterns burned all over his body.
In an instant, Lu Jun's breath weakened like the tide. The Buddhist energy that he had cultivated with great effort was swallowed up completely by the small windmill, squeezing him like an empty bag. Then the small windmill began to spin slowly.
As the small windmill rotates, the sound of wind whistling can be heard in the forest.
At first there were only slight breezes, and then suddenly there was a violent gale between heaven and earth. Ancient trees as thick as water jars were blown down, and fallen leaves, dust, grass leaves and broken branches rushed up to the sky. Black sand instantly submerged Wang Pu's camp.
In the camp, the flames suddenly lengthened, and the hot flames were like passionate tongues, licking the nearby tents diligently.
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
The fire, with the help of the wind, burned through the camp of the rebellion-suppressing army with a radius of more than thirty miles in an instant.
The soldiers of the riot suppression army were in chaos, with soldiers running around everywhere.
It was a pity for these city defense soldiers. Many of them were like Lu Yi. They left Haojing City for the first time in their lives and experienced a large-scale war for the first time in their lives.
It turns out that real war and drills on the training ground are two completely different things?
Many soldiers had their bodies set on fire. They danced and screamed as they ran around the camp, bringing chaos to more people.
The rioters rushed in like mad tigers, waving their weapons.
Among the army that quelled the rebellion, only the 200,000 men of the vanguard corps were the elite soldiers of the Peiyuan realm carefully selected from the defense forces of Gaojing City.
Among the main armies of the army that later suppressed the rebellion, only 30% of the soldiers had the cultivation level of Peiyuan Realm, and the rest were just ordinary soldiers who had practiced martial arts and knew how to deploy troops.
After taking the Red Lotus Solid Pill, these rioters' combat power has soared to a level comparable to the peak of Peiyuan Realm, or even the Half-Step Tuomai Realm.
The arms of an ordinary soldier have only about 300 to 400 kilograms of strength.
At the peak of Peiyuan Realm, a wave of his arms can exert a force of a thousand pounds.
When one reaches the Half-Step Tuomai Realm, the meridians in the body seem to be open but not open, and a wisp of Yuan Gang grows. This wisp of Yuan Gang, when attached to a weapon, can burst out with a killing power of over a thousand kilograms.
Tens of thousands of rioters rushed in, and in the camp engulfed in flames, tens of thousands of soldiers who were in chaos and suppressing the riot fell to the ground howling in agony.
The shrill sound of whistles and golden gongs rang out from all over Wang Pu’s camp.
Sharp shouts were heard from many places in the camp. Soldiers walked out of their tents one after another, and tremblingly formed a battle array in the camp amid the shouts and scoldings of the officers.
The camp of two million people stretched for more than a hundred miles, and fires broke out in dozens of miles of it. The soldiers could only watch the fire from afar and had no idea how to deal with it.
The officers in the camp closest to the attacked camp could only restrain their soldiers and defend their own camp with bows and arrows. No matter whether the rioters attacked or the panicked riot suppression troops ran over, they were mercilessly greeted with a volley of arrows.
Someone was yelling, "Go to the sides of the camp, go to the sides of the camp, don't attack the camp, don't attack the camp!"
Someone knows how to deal with this situation.
We must not allow those chaotic fleeing soldiers to attack the camp, otherwise there may be a chain reaction in our own camp and it will be destroyed by the chaotic army.
Some even shouted: "Where is the general? Where are the other generals? What should we do?"
In the dark night, many middle and lower-level officers and soldiers were extremely anxious.
The place that was burned like a brick kiln by the fire was the central camp of the army that was suppressing the rebellion. Now the central camp was beaten to pieces, but Wang Pu and other senior generals who led the army were nowhere to be seen!
Without the orders from senior generals, what else can these officers, who have no actual combat experience, do except stabilize the camp?
The wind was raging and the fire was sweeping everywhere.
Lu Jun sat down on the ground, panting while pinching the little windmill.
Lu Jun stretched out his hand to him, and Lu Jun handed the windmill to Lu Jun casually: "This is not the treasure of my Buddhist sect. Every time you activate it, you will lose half your life."
Lu Yi played with the little windmill and said with a smile, "I think it and I are destined to be together."
Lu Jun chuckled and waved his hand hastily, saying, "Take it if you're lucky. Take it. From now on, I'll leave the arson business to you... Don't bother me again. Hey, hey, Lao Er, give me a drink to refresh myself."
Lu Yi also took out a small jade box from the leather bag hanging around his waist.
When the jade box was opened, a refreshing fragrance filled the air. Inside the box were more than a dozen red, crystal clear, paper-thin lotus root slices.
Lu Yi carefully picked up the lotus root slices and stuffed them into Lu Jun's mouth.
The lotus root slices melted in the mouth, emitting a rich fragrance. Lu Jun, who had just been squeezed dry by the windmill, took a deep breath, and his pale face quickly returned to its rosy color.
He looked at the small windmill in Lu Yi's hand with great fear and laughed dryly: "You can just play with this thing in the future. Hey, sooner or later you will know that this is a deadly thing."
Lu Yi smiled and nodded: "When I was in the imperial city, I also got a Buddhist secret treasure from King Lan Cang. It really is destined for me... As for this one, I think it's not bad either."
With a wave of his right hand, his mind was filled with spiritual light, and the small windmill in Lu Yi's hand began to spin rapidly, more than ten times faster than when Lu Jun urged it just now.
"Buzz!"
The ground was shaking violently, and the hill was shaking so much that the three people could not stand steadily.
More than a dozen black tornadoes with a diameter of seventy or eighty feet and unknown height suddenly appeared out of thin air beside the hill where the three people were. Then they shook their huge bodies, passed through the mountains and forests, leaving deep marks on the ground, and plunged into the chaotic central camp of the army that was suppressing the rebellion.
In the central army camp, several mid-level generals who stayed behind had gathered the defeated soldiers and formed several large military formations to resist the rioters attacking from all directions.
Relying on their advantage in clothing and armor, and with the help of a large number of crossbow arrows, the riot-suppression troops left behind in the center were on the verge of stabilizing their position.
More than a dozen tornadoes rushed in rudely and unreasonably, and plunged into the military formation that was formed with great difficulty.
Soldiers were wailing as they were swept into the strong wind, and were thrown hundreds of feet into the air. In whichever direction the tornado rushed, the riot-suppression army in that direction collapsed immediately.
"May the Red Lotus Goddess bless you!" Several outer sect guardian disciples of the Vajra Temple shouted in unison.
Countless rioters were dancing with excitement, and they were chasing the scattered soldiers like crazy, hacking and killing them indiscriminately. There was a constant "puff" sound, and thousands of soldiers wailed and fell to the ground with every breath.
The flames shot up into the sky along with the strong wind.
Several large granaries near the central army camp were set on fire, and the air was quickly filled with the aroma of burnt rice.
