Chapter 297: Demons Dance (1)
It’s the New Year.
Logically, after ascending the throne again, Yinzhen should have changed the reign title.
What is speechless is that Yinzhen actually continued the reign title of "Jiayou".
So, this year marks the 20th year of Dayin Jiayou!
It is said that in order to continue the reign title of "Jiayou", some civil officials in charge of "rituals" in the court of Dayin almost died in the Fuyao Palace. However, Yinzhen just did his own thing and continued to use the reign title of "Jiayou".
"So, they are indeed father and son!"
In Yincheng, in the Great Situ Mansion which was formed by connecting and merging several mansions of wealthy businessmen, in the huge library, Lu Yi was holding a talisman pen surrounded by spiritual light and writing quickly on a long piece of yellow paper.
Lu Yi always received the news from Haojing first.
Yinzhen's willful behavior was obviously inherited from Yinyuan... Lu Yi didn't need to look to know how chaotic the city of Haojing was because of the issue of the reign title.
However, Yinzhen is the emperor.
Besides, who said that father and son cannot share the same reign title?
"As long as His Majesty is happy... If he is happy... Tsk tsk, will the princes of Beiming Province cry?"
Dayin and Xinyin were governed separately across the Yangjiang River. Yinzhen began to think of those northern princes who stabbed him in the back when he personally led an expedition to Dazhou in the far north, and who sent a large army to besiege and kill him when he finally escaped from the territory of the Black Wolf Clan.
News came from Gaojing that Lu Yu, the governor of the Five Armies, had personally led the Canglang Cavalry to station in Beijie City.
The entire Dayin Northern Expedition Army, as well as 30% of the troops from the Eastern Expedition and Western Expedition Army, were converging along the highway towards Beijie City.
It is said that on the day of the New Year's Palace Banquet, Yinzhen broke his arrows in the Fuyao Palace, cut his forehead with a sword, and swore to all the civil and military officials in the court with blood all over his face that he would completely annihilate the traitors in Beimingzhou!
This is a war that must be fought.
Moreover, with the support Yinzhen has now, it is basically a war that is sure to be won.
Without mentioning the military strength of the Five Military Offices and the Four Expedition Corps, let's just talk about Lu Yu's Canglang Cavalry. The 800,000 Canglang Cavalry are all outer disciples of the Great Vajra Temple. Each of them has cultivated a body of steel and is a hundred times stronger than ordinary soldiers.
In the entire Beiming Province, no vassal’s army can withstand the attack of the Canglang Cavalry.
Therefore, Yinzhen's another Northern Expedition had a great chance of winning.
Dayin is going to war, and the situation in Xinyin is also very complicated.
Le Xi sat on the throne of the emperor in Yincheng. With Lu Qingyang and a group of disciples supporting him, he was quite comfortable sitting on the throne.
As the Grand Marshal, Lu Yu is in charge of the Xinyin army. Now the army is expanding rapidly, and its strength is growing day by day.
The main force under the command of Le Wu, which was mainly composed of the elite private army of the Le family, was stationed directly in Yangcheng. It refused to accept any orders from Yincheng, and it was obvious that it was in an attitude of "separatist kingship".
According to the information sent back by the spies, many mysterious characters appeared in Lewu's army.
From time to time, some shocking news came from the surrounding areas of Yangcheng.
For example, a corpse resurrected from an old grave; for example, a ghost appeared in an ancient well; for example, a bride suddenly turned into human skin on her wedding night, or a groom was beaten into a mummy on his wedding night...
There are endless strange things happening, which shows that Lewu and the six sects of the devil are completely mixed together.
Not only that, after the New Year, the army under Le Wu sent out dozens of small troops to launch a tentative march towards the states and counties south of Yangjiang River.
South of the Yangjiang River, people in the states nominally under the rule of Xinyin are in unrest... Many knowledgeable people have a vague feeling that the internal strife within the Le family is about to break out completely?
Lu Yi didn't take it to heart at all.
Whether it was Le Wu's ambition or the changes of the six sects of the Demonic Path... everything was for the sake of interests, for different interests. And now it seemed that their changes had all fallen into the calculations of the Buddhist sect.
"Fortunately... I, Fahai, am now also a member of the Buddhist sect... It is better to be able to scheme against others than to be schemed against by others!" Lu Yi murmured with emotion while drawing talismans quickly.
These days, he went to ask Lu Qingyang about the art of talismans at a fixed time every day. Lu Qingyang also followed his promise to the monk Shenzui and taught Lu Yi all the "art of talismans" he had learned.
New "Taoism" patterns emerged from the Tao seeds that Lu Yi planted in the Fiery Lotus Pond.
Because of the Three-Eyed God-Man Diagram, Lu Yi's spiritual power is much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. He has an extraordinary understanding of the "Taoism of Talismans". In a short period of time, his attainments in the "Taoism of Talismans" have reached a high level.
As Lu Yi's understanding of the "Way of Talismans" gradually deepened, his aura changed from that majestic and imposing like a mountain to one that gradually gained a few strands of elegant, natural and soft charm.
'puff'!
The yellow paper on the long table suddenly exploded.
A flash of lightning burst out from the yellow paper and slammed heavily towards the bookshelf beside Lu Yi.
Lu Yi grabbed the ball of lightning, rolled it into a small bullet, and crushed it with his fingers.
Looking at the shattered yellow paper with a bit of distress, Lu Yi shook his head.
The talisman he drew was correct.
Any step is correct.
The only flaw is that compared to his attainments in the art of talismans, Lu Yi's magical powers are a little too strong.
With the Infinite Return to the Underworld body and the five Vajra Dharma images, Lu Yi's magical power is extremely strong. He accidentally input a little more magic power into the talisman pen, which burst the finely crafted yellow talisman paper.
"I have to think about it and try to make jade and gold talismans."
Lu Yi put down the talisman pen and waved his sleeves. The fragments of talisman paper on the long table flew out of the library with the wind and fell into the pond outside the building.
It was just after the Chinese New Year, and the weather outside was freezing cold, with water turning into ice.
Inside Lu Yi's Grand Tutor's Mansion, all the ponds and streams were steaming with water and there was no sign of freezing at all.
The alligator turtle that was originally left in the Gaojing mansion to protect the house has been secretly transported here by Lu Yi. Now it is lying in the lake in the back garden, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Because of the presence of the alligator snapping turtle, it is difficult for the water features in Lu Yi's mansion to freeze.
The big parrot flapped its wings and scurried in. "Hey, there's a grandson outside who's taking the blame... there's a grandson who's taking the blame... he's not a good person, not a good person!"
The big parrot landed on Lu Yi's shoulder and flapped its wings hard.
A faint light flashed in Lu Yi's eyes, and he immediately laughed.
Xinyin is still recruiting talents.
However, all the normal talented people were sent to Lu Yu, who would use them according to their abilities.
Only those abnormal talents would be sent to Lu Fu's Grand Tutor's Mansion, where Lu Fu would accompany them and give them a good beating.
As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth recovered, the amount of Xuanyuan Divine Water condensed in the Guixu Treasure Bottle increased every day, and the quality became better and better. The big parrot and other five uncles would take a certain amount of Xuanyuan Divine Water every day. Their blood had undergone a great transformation, and they became amazingly spiritual.
If the big parrot says that he is not a good person, then the person who came is definitely not a good person.
After changing into a full set of imperial robes, Lu Yi put his right hand behind his back, and in his left hand held two white, sparkling, cold and chilly evil bone relics that continuously emitted wisps of white evil energy, and slowly came to the front yard lobby of the Da Situ Mansion.
In the lobby, on the main seat that should have belonged to Lu Yi, a young man wearing a black robe and with a faint pungent odor on his body was sitting there steadily.
In the lobby, there were several other young men in different clothes and with sinister auras sitting or standing, and there was also a young man in heavy armor walking slowly around the lobby.
Every step the young man took was as sharp as a knife, leaving clear footprints three inches deep on the hard floor tiles.
Simply leaving footprints on the floor tiles can be done by any martial arts expert at the meridian expansion and meridian opening levels.
However, the footprints left by the young man on the ground, after he passed by, wisps of black air gushed out from the footprints, transforming into swords, spears, swords and halberds of various colors that collided with each other, making a "ding ding" sound, stirring up a chill in the hall...
This is an extremely profound magical secret technique.
Outside the lobby was a large courtyard. Ah Hu, Yu Dian Hu and others were standing sparsely in the distance, looking sideways at the young man in heavy armor who was showing off his skills.
Several Tiger Lords who had been in Baihu Hall in the early years and loved to fight bravely in the streets and play tricks with the heroes in the market, kept licking their tongues and carefully calculating how many moves it would take to tear the heavily armored young man into pieces if the brothers rushed forward!
Lu Yi walked out slowly.
The black-robed young man sitting on the main seat of Lu Yi sneered, "What a big deal, hehe... this new Yin..."
In the lobby, several young men looked at Lu Yi at the same time.
The pupils of the black-robed young man who was about to say something rude suddenly condensed, and his eyes were grim, staring at the two evil bone relics in Lu Yi's left hand, which were spinning rapidly in his palm like iron walnuts.
These two evil bone relics were found by Lu Qingyang when he excavated an ancient tomb.
The name and origin of the owner of the ancient tomb are no longer known. However, Lu Qingyang found many valuable treasures in the ancient tomb, and these two evil bone relics are the only things left in the coffin of the tomb owner.
These two evil bone relics have an astonishing weight, and contain extremely powerful and pure Yin energy.
In other words, Lu Yi has thick skin and flesh, and is not afraid of the erosion of evil spirits.
Lu Yi had tested these two evil bone relics. Ordinary pigs, sheep and the like would be frozen into ice chips immediately if they were slightly touched, and not even a piece of good meat would be left.
These people in the lobby are obviously connoisseurs of good stuff .
The black-robed young man who had taken Lu Yi's seat slowly stood up and bowed to Lu Yi: "I didn't expect that the Grand Tutor is actually a fellow practitioner... It seems that we have come to the right place."
Lu Yi nodded to the black-robed young man in a dignified manner and said, "Maybe we have come to the right place. Let's see... What are your names, backgrounds, and why do you dare to reveal my Xin Yin recruitment list?"
The young man in black robe smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "We are all people who seek immortality in this world... We came out of the mountains this time to experience disasters... The reason we dare to post the recruitment list is naturally because we can solve the biggest problem for Xin Yin!"
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows.
"What is my Xin Yin's biggest worry?"
The young man in black robe stepped forward: "General, Le Wu... and the six sects of the Demonic Path gathered around him!"
