Chapter 241 I Have a Plan to Defeat the Enemy
It is autumn now and the weather is getting colder.
Wearing the wooden mask of the arrogant beast, Di Qing felt an endless flow of warmth from the mask to his face and then to his heart.
The arrogant beast that Master Lu invited down was indeed useful.
At this time, Di Qing felt that his mind was very clear, clearer than when he was young.
He could clearly smell the scent of grass and cow and horse dung mixed in the wind blowing in his face.
It's really wonderful to feel like you can notice everything around you.
In fact, this was just his illusion.
The funny emoticons provided by Lu Sen are only used to refute the "public opinion persecution" against Di Qing.
Since there is really no point that can be found to criticize Di Qing, a good way to describe him is to say that he is the reincarnation of a killer and that he is a disaster.
Language is a knife that can kill people.
But under the effect of the 'placebo', Di Qing felt that this 'arrogant beast' really had incredible power.
Not only does it solve one's own problems, it also has the mysterious power to protect oneself and one's comrades.
Di Qing's light cavalry team consisted of only more than a hundred people, wearing only basic leather armor. In addition to basic guns and sabers, they also had a short bow.
In fact, this was the early configuration of the Khitan cavalry, which emphasized mobility, and now he has learned it.
More than a hundred cavalrymen roared across the plain, riding around the entire camp from a distance, and soon attracted the attention of the Xixia people.
It seemed that after a long delay, a sparse group of Western Xia light cavalry was finally gathered and began to find a way to intercept Di Qing and his men.
At first Di Qing thought the other side would be very "ferocious", but after the two sides collided he found that the Xixia people were very cowardly and becoming more and more cowardly.
The other side almost all fought with the Song cavalry with an emotion of "fear".
Especially when facing himself, or when being stared at by himself, the fear that appeared on his face and his pupils unconsciously widened and trembled rapidly all proved one thing.
The other party is very afraid of me.
After defeating the Xixia light cavalry as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, Di Qing ordered his men to tie up the few surviving captives and take them to a distant place, throw them on the ground, and prepare to interrogate them.
Then he saw it again, that look of extreme fear.
Some people swallowed their saliva and stared at the slanted smiling face on the flag, while a few people stared at Di Qing... or rather, at his mask.
Now everyone understood what these Xixia people were afraid of.
Di Qing took off his mask and moved closer. As a result, the captives sat on the ground and moved back subconsciously.
The eyes of everyone in the cavalry team lit up.
"Why are you so afraid of this mask?" asked someone who was proficient in Xixia language.
"This is evil."
"The devil who looks at people with crooked eyes."
"The devil is laughing horribly."
In fact, every nation has its own 'collective terror consciousness'.
Just like some pirate civilizations are afraid of 'clown' masks, while Oriental people just think it's ugly.
The Xixia people themselves had an instinctive aversion to things like bald heads, strange smiles, and squinting eyes. Just like many totems drawn by ancient people at that time, such as the Sanxingdui mask, seemed strange and absurd to later generations, this postmodern emoticon package was also full of "absurdity" at that time.
The people of Song Dynasty could accept this thing only because Master Lu said it was "good".
Then Di Qing wore this thing and kept sniping at them. During this period of time, the number of Xixia people who were killed in the ambush by Di Qing's light cavalry was at least 5,000, if not 10,000.
Moreover, he has always been wearing this mask, and his team has always been holding high the flag of the Arrogant Beast.
This further deepened the Xixia people's fear of this funny laughing expression.
"I see." Di Qing gestured on his horse: "Kill them all."
After a few screams, Di Qing smiled and said, "Let's go back to the city and prepare for a counterattack."
Di Qing was under a lot of pressure before. The Xixia people were building catapults at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was estimated that in five days at most, the other side would be able to set up several catapults.
They had no way to fight back and could only wait for death.
Not only did the other side have more people, but their morale also seemed high.
But it only 'seems'.
Now Di Qing has found their weakness.
Soon they returned to the city, walked to the city wall again, and in front of Zhe Jizu, they gave an order to the messenger beside them: "Go and inform the governor of Xi'an, Qin County, and ask him to order all the women in the city to help draw the pattern of the arrogant beast, so that it can be equipped with thousands of flags and embroidered on the chests of tens of thousands of soldiers."
The messenger immediately went down the city wall.
Zhe Jizu couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean?"
"The Xixia people are very afraid of the arrogant beast that Master Lu invited down." Di Qing took off the mask and smiled happily: "Although this mask cannot directly help us kill the enemy, it can cause chaos in the enemy's army."
The army is in chaos!
That's enough.
Zhe Jizu also understood: "It seems that my cousin's husband has already had a plan to lift the siege of Xi'an City, but he just didn't say it clearly. He just wanted to find a way to get General Di to come. After all, he has long disliked the officials in the court."
"But he would never leave the people alone." Di Qing placed his hands on the cold stone surface of the city wall and said with a smile, "A few days ago, I received a letter from home. My wife said that the few acres of land outside Bianjing City have been harvested. They are planted with Immortal Rice. The refined rice after husking is white and large. The granary at home could not hold it all, so we built three temporary ones to fill it. This year's harvest is enough for my family's food for three to five years. Not to mention that now the whole world is planting Immortal Rice. In the future, the people of our Song Dynasty will no longer lack food, and the world will be rich."
"Just for this matter, my cousin's husband will definitely go down in history." Zhe Jizu said enviously, "I don't know how the history books will evaluate us warriors in the future."
Di Qing smiled and said, "I am not that greedy. I don't want to be criticized in history. As long as the history books can record that I fought against the barbarians in the south and the Rong people in the west, I will be satisfied."
Zhe Jizu laughed loudly: "No matter what, General Di's name will definitely appear in history books thousands of years from now."
The city of Xi'an has found a way to repel the enemy, and Lu Sen also came to Mount Li with Lu Xianxian and Yang Jinhua.
Mu Guiying had asked someone to deliver a visiting card before, so Mount Li had arranged for people to wait at the foot of the mountain in the past few days. As soon as they saw the aircraft descending from the sky, they came up respectfully to greet it.
Even the two women who came to greet them had expressions of extreme envy.
Even their Lishan immortal master doesn't have the ability to fly, but this Master Lu has it. He is really amazing.
Because Lu Sen had been here once before and knew the bottom line of Mount Li, this time Mount Li did not use any "light and color illusion" to show its true strength like last time, but went down directly to the depths of the mountains through the secret passage on the other side.
A red "lava river" flows in a narrow gap not far away, and on the edge stands a huge Taoist temple.
In the main hall, Lu Sen and others sat cross-legged, while the old mother of Mount Li, 'Rong Yuan', opposite them, was looking Lu Xianxian up and down.
Lu Xianxian was very calm. She slowly drank the tea provided by the Lishan Sect and allowed the other party to look at her.
After a long while, Rong Yuan finally spoke, her beautiful face full of surprise: "It's really a big monster... and it's a Qingqiu fox! It's really rare to see monsters still alive these days."
Lu Xianxian put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, Mountain Master."
She smiled like a lady from a noble family, dignified and graceful, without any evil spirit at all.
Rong Yuan then turned his gaze to Lu Sen: "Master Lu, thank you for the rare items you provided us earlier. Our Mount Li has benefited a lot from them. If there is anything our sect can help with, please feel free to ask."
The redstone energy pack left by Lu Sen really helped the Lishan Sect a lot.
With the help of the spiritual energy cups in their sect, the Lishan Sect is no longer short of spiritual energy for cultivation.
However, this is only limited to the interior of Mount Li. Outside... without the maintenance of the formation, the spiritual energy will quickly dissipate.
Even so, everyone in the Lishan Sect was very fond of the redstone energy packs provided by Lu Sen.
The spiritual energy supplied by the master and the spiritual energy supplied only by mountain fires and earth veins are two completely different orders of magnitude.
Many spells that they couldn't practice before can now be practiced by them.
The most important thing is... if you have spiritual energy, you will have longevity.
The previous Rong Yuan, also known as the Mother of Mount Li, already looked like a woman, but now Rong Yuan has turned back into a young girl.
Looks fresh and lovely, and full of energy.
This is one of the charms of spiritual practice.
Hearing Rong Yuan's words, Lu Sen smiled and said, "This visit is not a big deal. I just want to ask the Mother of Mount Lishan to solve some problems related to the cultivation world."
"Please don't call me Mother of Mount Li anymore, Master Lu." Rong Yuanguai said embarrassedly, "Just call me Rong Yuan."
Lu Sen nodded and said, "Then may I ask, Lord Rongyuan, do you know the locations of small worlds such as 'Kuncang', 'Tianchi', and 'Tiangong'?"
"I really don't know about this, but the location should be roughly recorded in the books in the sect." Rong Yuan said rather embarrassedly: "We haven't sent anyone out to the world in Mount Li for a long time. We all live in the mountains and don't care much about these places."
This is normal. The spiritual energy in the world is exhausted and it is difficult to protect itself. Generations have been thinking about preserving their own skills and heritage, so they can't care about so many things.
Lu Sen thought for a while and said, "Can we borrow some books from your collection?"
"Nothing is impossible." Rong Yuan nodded and smiled, "The Sutra Library has three floors. The lower two floors are all miscellaneous books. Master Lu can borrow them at will. The third floor is where our sect's skills are located. Please don't go up."
"I understand." Lu Sen stood up and said with a cupped hand, "Please ask your sect to ask someone to take us there."
"You're welcome." Rong Yuan responded with a smile.
At this time, there was a woman wearing green vine clothes standing next to them. After bowing, she took Lu Sen and the other two away.
The main hall soon became quiet again.
At this time, a woman in red couldn't help but say, "Master, the restrictions on the third floor of the Sutra Repository have been removed. If they go up to the third floor, won't they steal all the skills of our Lishan Sect?"
The woman seemed a little anxious.
Rong Yuan said calmly, "Master Lu is upright and honest, and doesn't seem like a mean person. Besides, he is determined to watch it. Do you think we can stop him?"
"Why not?" The red-clothed woman snorted and said, "Although Master Lu has spiritual energy, it is not much. I think he is not very good at practicing the art of killing. He should be good at making weapons. The other two women, one has less spiritual energy than him, and the other is just a monster! We can't say that our Lishan Sect is the best at catching monsters, but we also have skills specifically targeting monsters. Are we afraid of her?"
Rong Yuan sighed and said, "Hong Hong, Master will teach you a lesson. Not everyone in this world puts their strength on display."
The woman named Hong Hong frowned.
"The demon you mentioned just now is the famous Qingqiu Fox, with a surging demonic power. Even if we, the master and the disciples, come together, we can barely deal with it, but you have to consider one thing!" Rong Yuan said helplessly: "Such a big demon, but it is led by Master Lu, don't you think there is something strange about it?"
Hong Hong was suddenly speechless.
Rong Yuan continued, "The demon tribe respects the strong. If Master Lu cannot subdue the Qingqiu Fox, he will be attacked. But look at this Qingqiu Fox, it is as obedient as a married woman. In comparison, don't you think Master Lu is unfathomable?"
Hong Hong was stunned for a while, then said, "We can't leave the door to the third floor of the Sutra Library open."
"I am not as strong as the other party. If the other party comes to me, I can only do this." Rong Yuan's eyes were somewhat dim. "Master can only guard against villains, not gentlemen."
Honghong thought about it and decided to give up.
She felt that the master was right.
At this time, Lu Sen and the other two had arrived at the Sutra Repository under the guidance of Qin Cailu.
Qin Cailu then took her leave, leaving the remaining three people in the Sutra Library, allowing them to move freely.
This Sutra Repository doesn't have any special features, just some bookshelves and some books on them.
It's similar to the library of an ordinary family.
The only advantage is that the area here is a bit large and there are a lot of books.
The three of them looked for a while, and Yang Jinhua took the initiative to say, "I went over here to look through it, but if I find any books related to Kunlun, I'll call the official over again."
After saying that, Yang Jinhua walked aside and started flipping through the books.
Lu Xianxian walked to Lu Sen's side and whispered, "The Lord of Rongyuan Mountain played some tricks on us."
"I know." Lu Sen nodded. He has a high EQ. Although he is not as good as Lu Xianxian in grasping people's hearts, he is still not bad: "But generally speaking, it is not annoying. It is better to say that it is a helpless act."
Lu Xianxian narrowed her eyes and smiled, "My dear, it's good that you understand. I was afraid that you would think that the Lord of Rongyuan Mountain is an upright and reasonable person."
She now increasingly considers herself as a member of the Lu family, and is afraid that Lu Sen, the head of the family, will suffer any loss.
Foxes are members of the Canidae family. They are very home-loving and grateful. Once domesticated, they are actually not much different from dogs.
Lu Sen looked at Lu Xianxian with some surprise. He felt that Lu Xianxian seemed to be much more enthusiastic about this family recently.
Lu Xianxian pretended not to notice Lu Sen's strange expression and walked aside to read a book.
At this moment, Yang Jinhua next to him suddenly screamed. Lu Sen thought something had happened and turned his head to look, only to find that Yang Jinhua's face was red and she hurriedly stuffed a book back onto the bookshelf.
Lu Sen guessed that she had seen a pornographic book and suddenly found it funny. They had been married for so long and had tried every position of dual cultivation more than a dozen times, but she was still so shy.
Just when Lu Sen was finding it funny, Lu Xianxian, who was not far away, suddenly waved and said, "My dear, please come over here. I think I found it!"
So fast?
The vixen has such good luck!
