Chapter 528: Five Elements Escape, Free and Easy Travel
Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Wu Wei, who had been pretending to be dead, opened his eyes and smiled awkwardly.
"Kui Shou, you know that my cultivation is low, and I am mainly responsible for forging magic weapons for everyone. I am not very good at fighting, hehe."
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and said, "Oh? Then tell me, what magic weapon have you refined during this period of time?"
Wu Wei's eyes lit up, and he stood up from the ground with a somersault, and said excitedly: "Captain, you asked the right question. I have recently refined two new magic weapons, which are absolutely powerful!"
"I'll show you now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daoxuan saw that everyone stood quietly away, even Lou Ling was no exception, treating Wu Wei like a plague god.
The Green Emperor winked at him frantically.
Thinking of his junior's previous "God-defying" works, Li Daoxuan had a bad feeling in his heart. He coughed and said, "Forget it, I'll show it to you later when I have time."
Wu Wei muttered: "Humph, they are all jealous of my talent..."
After a pause, he continued, "Kui Shou, Xiao Tian and I have developed a new set of tactics. We will show them to you when we have the chance!"
His words were full of confidence.
“Woof woof!”
Xiaotian climbed out of the pool, called out twice in a very cooperative manner, and then dived down again.
The weather is so hot that even dogs don't live on the ground.
"Captain, the method you just used, could it be the legendary... Five Elements Escape?"
Lu Chunliang is a true disciple of Maoshan, and he has a guess about .
Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Daoxuan.
What happened just now left a deep impression on them. In that world where the five elements were reversed, they had almost no ability to fight back, especially the final volcanic eruption, which was simply devastating.
Lou Ling and Wang Bo are now half-step Yang Gods, two of the four pillars guarding the country, but they were played around in the palm of their hands from beginning to end.
Just like gods playing with ants.
How strong is the national teacher now?
Li Daoxuan smiled and nodded, saying: "Good eyesight, it is indeed the Five Elements Escape."
The other two clones also had an epiphany one after another. Li Daoxuan finally completed the practice of "The Great Five Elements Escape Technique" and mastered the great divine power of "The Great Five Elements Escape"!
This was the divine power of Tiangang that he acquired through his own practice without the help of the Heavenly Book. It took him five whole years with the help of the entire Tang Dynasty.
It's really not easy.
"Congratulations to the leader for achieving supernatural powers!"
Everyone bowed and congratulated him.
Li Daoxuan looked at Lou Ling and Wang Bo and said, "When you two officially enter the Yang God Realm, if you want to learn the Five Elements Escape, you can come and ask me for advice."
He was not stingy in imparting his magical powers, provided that the other party could learn them.
Unfortunately, according to Li Daoxuan's calculations, the possibility that Wang Bo could learn the Five Elements Escape was less than 10%. Lou Ling was a little better, but no more than 30%.
Lou Ling and Wang Bo looked at each other and could see the excitement in each other's eyes.
That is the great divine power of Tiangang, which is the dream of every cultivator!
"By the way, why haven't Zhurong and Dianmu come back?"
Li Daoxuan looked around and suddenly asked.
Zhurong and Dianmu, a pair of siblings with extraordinary talents, have grown rapidly in the areas of fire and thunder. In the past five years, under the guidance of Li Daoxuan, they have also successfully cultivated pure yang qi and become half-step yang gods.
Zhu Rong mastered the Samadhi True Fire, while Dian Mu cultivated the "Five Thunders Nourishing Essence" to the fourth level.
The Green Emperor, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "Reporting to the Imperial Master, Zhu Rong was sent to Yinshan by His Majesty, probably to support General Li Jing. As for the whereabouts of the Lightning Mother, it is unknown."
Li Daoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yinshan Mountain is an important line of defense against the Turkic invasion. Ever since Li Jing took over Yinshan Mountain, the Turks have never given up the idea of taking it back, and many small-scale wars have occurred.
In the original history, the Tang Dynasty had defeated the Turks in the third year of Zhenguan, but things have changed here.
Because of the demons, the Tang Dynasty was unable to develop well in the second year of Zhenguan, until the Zhoutian Xingdou formation was established and Li Daoxuan wiped out the Mara Sect.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty has been recuperating in recent years and has not easily resorted to war.
Now that Your Majesty has sent Zhurong over there, it is clear that the atmosphere in the Yinshan area is becoming increasingly tense, and the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are on the verge of a war.
"Master, His Majesty summoned me yesterday and told me that if you are out of confinement, please come to the palace."
Wang Bo suddenly said.
"What is it?"
"I don't know either, but your Majesty looked solemn at the time, as if he was worried about something."
Li Daoxuan nodded, took a step forward, and left a residual shadow on the spot, which gradually dissipated with the wind.
His voice echoed in the air.
"You should concentrate on the battle just now. This time, I will teach you about the five elements. How much you can understand depends on your own blessings."
Everyone bowed in the direction where Li Daoxuan left.
"promise!"
…
Li Daoxuan was walking in the city.
Through the Four Saints Formation, he saw that the fortune of the Tang Dynasty was several times stronger than before, like clouds and mist, like purple air rising into the sky, faintly converging into a golden dragon roaring in the sun.
During the five years, Li Shimin worked hard to govern the country, and he made use of wise ministers such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. He developed the imperial examination system, encouraged agriculture and sericulture, and attached importance to commerce. The national strength of the Tang Dynasty was no longer what it used to be.
Chang'an City became more majestic and taller, the population increased a lot, and the number of shops in the West Market even exceeded three thousand.
Along the way, you can also see foreign merchants with very different appearances.
However, these people ignored Li Daoxuan and some even bumped into him and passed through him.
At this moment, Li Daoxuan's body was glowing with a faint glow, appearing translucent, like a soul.
This was not the Yang Shen traveling, but he had cultivated the great magical power of moving stars and changing constellations to an extremely high level. Although he was walking in the human world, he was in the void.
It seems to exist but not to exist, it seems to be empty but not to be empty.
Neither here nor there.
Some of the spiritually-minded children looked up in confusion, but found nothing.
Even a Yin Shen cultivator who used his Dharma Eyes could only see a hazy figure emitting light, but could hardly see its true appearance.
Unless he volunteered to show himself.
In this wonderful state, Li Daoxuan could even hear the voices of some people.
"If I can earn some more money, I can help my son find a wife."
"That hairpin is really beautiful, but a little expensive..."
"The Turks always plunder the people of our Tang Dynasty. As scholars, we should give up our pens and join the army to defend our country!"
…
Zhuangzi once said in "Xiaoyaoyou" that if one can ride on the righteousness of heaven and earth and control the differences of the six qi, one can travel in the infinite...
Li Daoxuan felt that his current wonderful experience was a bit like the realm described by Zhuangzi, except that Zhuangzi's realm was obviously higher. Compared with the sages and philosophers, he still needed to continue practicing.
In front of Ganlu Temple.
Li Daoxuan's figure gradually solidified, as if appearing out of thin air, which scared the guards.
When they saw that it was the national teacher, they were cheered up, their eyes showed reverence, and they were very excited.
Some young guards had never seen Li Daoxuan and didn't know what was going on. But when they heard others say that the imperial master had arrived, they were so excited that even their hands holding the swords were shaking.
"Please inform me."
"promise!"
A moment later, to Li Daoxuan's surprise, His Majesty actually came out in person, grabbed his hand and laughed.
"Taichong, Taichong, you finally came out!"
"This time I must fight you on the chessboard for 300 rounds. The last time you beat me, I thought hard and finally figured out a way to break it!"
"But let's eat first, no rush, no rush, haha..."
The 31-year-old Li Shimin was a little fatter than before, but still charming, heroic and handsome. He was more mature and steady than before, with a hearty and heroic smile, and an indescribable personal charm.
Five years of hard work and diligent administration have not only not exhausted him, but have made him even more energetic, with his every move revealing the spirit of an emperor.
The two entered the Ganlu Palace.
"Gao Quan, go and add some chairs and dishes!"
"promise!"
Li Daoxuan sat down with the emperor. The meal was simple, a few Hu cakes, a bowl of vegetarian soup, and some summer side dishes. The most sumptuous dish was probably the plate of roasted lamb.
For an emperor, such a meal could be described as "simple".
Li Shimin asked Gao Quan to bring some good wine, and the two of them ate and chatted while enjoying the meal.
Gao Quan smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been unable to eat these past few days. Even the lotus seed soup made by the Queen was useless. It must be that the Imperial Master is amazing. Your Majesty's appetite has been whetted as soon as he arrived."
Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled, "It's not that the Empress's lotus seed soup is useless, but that Your Majesty is worried."
"Alas, nothing can be hidden from Taichong. I do have a worry... called Turkic."
Li Shimin's expression became more and more solemn.
"In the past five years, the national strength of our Tang Dynasty has been growing day by day. The Turks have already felt threatened. They have been harassing Yinshan constantly, and eight wars have occurred. Fortunately, the pharmacist lived up to my expectations and won eight battles in a row, and has held the Yinshan Fortress!"
Yinshan Mountain was the throat of the Turkic attack on the Tang Dynasty. If Yinshan Mountain was lost, the Turkish cavalry would have an easy route and could fully utilize their advantages of flexibility and mobility.
"As long as the flying general is in Longcheng, the Hu horse will not be allowed to cross Yinshan Mountain."
Li Daoxuan clapped his hands and praised: "General Li Jing is truly worthy of being a famous general of the Tang Dynasty!"
“Good poem!”
Li Shimin recited these two lines of poetry with his blood boiling.
"Taichong, if it is a normal battlefield confrontation, I believe that the pharmacist will be able to defeat the Turks, but what I am most worried about is that the Turks will use other means."
Li Daoxuan's eyes moved, and he said, "Your Majesty means... monks?"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "According to the spies, the Turkic high priest has made great progress in recent years and has recruited some demons that have escaped from the Tang Dynasty. His intentions are sinister!"
"In addition, in the past five years, Turkic monks often crossed the Yin Mountains and robbed the people on the border of our Tang Dynasty. They did not want money or property, but only captured people. Those people who were captured never appeared again..."
There was murderous intent in Li Shimin's eyes.
The country and the people all depend on the people. When he first came to power, he had said that the emperor is like a boat and the people are like water. The Turkic move was undoubtedly a humiliation and provocation.
"Over the years, I have continuously sent bad people to Yinshan. A month ago, I even sent Zhu Rong there. However, the Turkic monks are really cunning and we are always unable to guard against them."
Li Daoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. In order to recuperate, the Tang Dynasty allowed the Turks to jump around for a few more years, but unexpectedly, it made it even more arrogant.
I really don't know how to write these eight words "Horses trample on the golden tent, swords chop the royal court"?
He was about to speak when he suddenly stopped and looked outside the hall.
A moment later, Li Chunfeng hurried in with a celestial mirror in his hand. When he saw Li Daoxuan was there, he was stunned for a moment, but then quickly regained his composure.
"Your Majesty, there is military intelligence. There is another beacon fire in Yinshan. The Turkic army is challenging us!"
Li Shimin's face changed, and he immediately threw down his chopsticks, not even bothering to wipe his mouth, and said, "Quickly bring me a mirror!"
"Taichong, Chunfeng, come and watch!"
In the astronomical mirror, flags were flying, the army was approaching, and the dense Turkic cavalry surrounded Yinshan Mountain tightly, with a huge momentum.
On the Yinshan Mountain, a battle flag with the word "Li" written on it was flying. A solid camp had already been built here, and archers were ready to go.
General Li Jing was wearing golden armor, had a beard, and had a firm and sharp gaze.
The Turkic army seemed to be serious this time and deployed most of its troops, vowing to capture Yinshan Mountain.
"Humph, the autumn harvest is approaching, and these barbarians can't sit still again!"
A general next to Li Jing said sarcastically.
The war drums sounded, the Turkic army began to challenge, and a figure rode forward on horseback.
He was wearing tiger skin, holding a mace, and had pigtails. His sturdy muscles glowed with bronze in the sun, as if he had skin of copper and bones of iron.
"Hey, I am Ashina Wumochuo, the first warrior of the Turkic people. Are you Tang people all cowards? Who dares to fight me?"
His voice was as loud as a bell, and his burly body was like a brown bear walking upright, with an extremely fierce aura.
Before the Weishui Alliance, he had fought with Yuchi Jingde in Jingyang, but was defeated by Yuchi Jingde.
He regarded it as a great humiliation. Over the years, he practiced martial arts diligently and took the elixir given by the high priest. This time, he vowed to avenge the previous humiliation by attacking the Tang Dynasty!
"I'll fight him!"
The general who had just spoken to Li Jing was enraged. He picked up his spear and asked for a fight.
Li Jing patted his shoulder and said, "Be careful."
"promise!"
If a general wins a battle in front of the battlefield, it can greatly undermine the morale of the enemy. The general beside Li Jing is named Wang Ben, a brave and skilled general who has followed him for many years.
The war drums sounded.
Wang Ben rode out of the pass, glared at the enemy general, and said, "I'm here to kill you!"
Ashina Wumochu said disdainfully: "Just you? Grandpa killed thirty-four generals in his lifetime, and you are the thirty-fifth!"
Wang Ben rode his horse to charge, stabbing the enemy general with the spear in his hand fiercely and sharply.
Ashina Wumochuo did not move at all, and without the help of horsepower, he swung the iron mace weighing 92 kilograms, causing a whistling gale.
boom!
The mace arrived first after being launched later, hitting Wang Ben's spear hard.
The spear forged from fine iron was actually bent by the smash. Even the warhorse under Wang Ben's crotch let out a mournful cry, and all four hooves were broken!
Wang Ben vomited blood and flew out. His broken ribs pierced his skin and his blood dyed the ground red.
But his eyes were determined and his teeth were almost broken. Despite such serious injuries, he still tried to get up and fight again.
There are only generals who died in battle in the Tang Dynasty!
His wife and parents are also waiting for him to return victoriously!
Ashina Wumochuo rode his horse forward and pulled the reins.
The wild horse neighed, raised its front hooves, and then stomped heavily on Wang Ben's head.
Li Jing closed his eyes and clenched his fists.
"Hahaha, this is the general of your Tang Dynasty?"
"He can't even block one of my attacks. Are all the men in the Tang Dynasty as useless as him?"
"It's a pity that their skull was crushed, otherwise we could have taken it back and used it as a chamber pot. This is the only thing you Tang people can use for it, hahahaha!"
Ashina Wumochuo kept shouting, and the warhorse under him kept trampling on Wang Ben's body.
The Tang army all over the city watched with gnashing teeth.
"Xiang Yin invites you to fight!"
"Ma Linyi asks for a fight!"
"Yelen asks for a fight!"
…
The generals were filled with anger and asked to fight.
Li Jing slowly opened his eyes, his gaze was cold and calm.
"Pass on my military order, no one is allowed to go into battle!"
Wang Ben's strength is already one of the best here. If others go there, they will just be seeking their deaths.
It’s a pity that Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao are not here.
At this moment, a figure rode out on a horse, his white robe fluttering, he held a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, a longbow on his back, his eyes were blazing, and he looked extraordinary and heroic!
"Tang Centurion Xue Li, I'm here to take your head!"
