At the moment when Yu Chi'an of Henan Embroidery Household ordered to attack the city, Shi Lingtong, the abbot of Shanxin Temple, was standing on the ladder behind the courtyard wall, looking at the scene outside the temple from a distance.

His junior brother, Shi Lingzhen, the head of the Bible Study Hall, reported with a cold face: "There is news from junior brother Lingfei that they expect to mobilize 7,000 believers to attack the Ruzhou government office."

Abbot Shi Lingtong frowned after hearing this: "Seven thousand people? How come there are so few?"

He originally thought he could mobilize 30,000 believers.

Shi Lingzhen looked at his abbot brother speechlessly, wondering what the reason was, maybe his brother didn't know yet.

"Abbott! Since the continuous grain harvest last year, the imperial court has been giving porridge at the city gate day and night, and even asked the people to exchange for those Fenyang potatoes and champion potatoes. Most of the people in the four fields are somewhat grateful to the imperial court."

On the contrary, although their Shanxin Temple also had mountains of food, they did almost nothing.

Although they also gave porridge, the rice that was supposed to be in the porridge was misappropriated by a few monks in charge and became their own property...

The so-called 'porridge' in this pot can be said to be rice soup, but no one wants to come over.

In fact, the imperial government had a similar style in the past, but since Emperor Jingtai came to the throne, he has repeatedly rectified the administration of officials.

The ministers who were used, even Gao Gu and Xiao Ci, were honest and capable ministers and officials, so the atmosphere in the officialdom has greatly improved now.

During the Restoration Period, several auxiliary ministers in the DPRK paid special attention to the administration of officials.

In the past two years, Li Xuan, the protector of Neo-Confucianism, had used his tyrannical "eyes of heaven to protect the Tao" to eliminate many scum from the Confucian sect, thus suppressing the atmosphere of Neo-Confucianism.

Therefore, although the porridge given out by the imperial court also cut corners, it was usually able to survive with chopsticks inserted, which made the people very grateful.

"The imperial court is just a small favor, so they forget who they are. These stupid people and fools, they will never dream of entering the bliss of the Western Heaven."

Abbot Shi Lingtong roared angrily, and then rolled his eyes: "Let our believers attack the imperial treasury and granary, and call in those gangsters from Ruzhou. The imperial treasury, they should be interested."

Shi Lingzhen, the leader of the Bible Study Hall, couldn't help but gasped: "Abbott, it's just an attack on the government. It can be said that the believers are indignant for the imperial court's actions against Shanxin Temple. This attack on the government treasury and granary is a clear violation of national law. Together they rebelled."

"Then let them rebel." Abbot Shi Lingtong snorted and pointed outside: "How can the current situation be better? Where is Junior Brother Lingxuan? Let him put those sealed evil tigers and The black flame demon was also released.

The only solution now is to force the government to seek help from our Shanxin Temple, and only by letting them know that it is impossible for them to move forward without the Shanxin Temple in Ruzhou and Nanyang. This disaster can be resolved. "

He turned back and glanced at the monks: "The premise is that we can defend Shanxin Temple. As long as we can defend it for thirty days, we will definitely make the government bow their heads."

Abbot Shi Lingtong thought that this was not a big problem. After Songshan warned in advance, they stepped up their defenses intensively.

Add a stone barrier behind the courtyard wall and fill it with three-component soil. The defensive strength will not be much weaker than the county wall.

The eight hundred warrior monks in the courtyard are considered elite even in the Beijing camp. They even collected seventy-six 'bowl cannons' and twenty 'crouching tiger cannons'.

There are also three masters of the fourth sect in the temple. With only the power of Ruzhou Prefecture, it is difficult to defeat them no matter what.

At this time, Abbot Shi Lingtong heard a buzzing sound from the monks on the surrounding courtyard walls.

Shi Lingtong looked out in astonishment, and then saw a thousand 'giants' appearing in the array opposite.

They are all about two feet tall, wearing dark gold battle armor, surrounded by golden light.

They walked in neat steps, like a walking steel forest. Although his whole body is filled with brilliant divine power, the feeling given to the monks in the temple is that it is cold and icy, and his aura seems to be able to freeze people's hearts.

These burly warriors lined up three hundred feet in front of the temple, with one column in the front half-kneeling on the ground, and one column in the back standing straight.

They pointed thousands of 'muskets' two feet long into the courtyard wall.

It is worth mentioning those 'muskets'. In Shi Lingtong's opinion, those things are not much different from artillery, but the caliber is smaller.

And the ten cannons brought by Xiuyiwei were actually pushed to a position only three hundred feet away from the temple wall.

It is simply bold. From a distance of three hundred feet, many powerful monks in the temple can destroy it with a single attack.

But at this time, Abbot Shi Lingtong was shocked by the thousand dark gold armors.

"This is a heavenly soldier?"

His pupils shrank slightly, and then his eyes widened in disbelief.

I wonder where this heavenly soldier came from?

There are still a thousand people, all of whom have cultivation levels above the fifth floor!

But since the First Emperor, heavenly soldiers and generals have disappeared from the world. It is no longer possible for the gods and Buddhas of the upper world to come to the human world in the human body, and they can only enter the mortal world with the consciousness of their souls.

Shi Lingtong thought to himself, could he be dreaming now? Where did these heavenly soldiers invited by the imperial court come from?

Just when he was confused and puzzled, he heard the Henan embroidered Qianhu Wei Chian outside shout angrily: "All artillery, fire!"

In an instant, the ten Franco machine cannons roared.

Those cannonballs hit the courtyard wall with great force. In an instant, rubble shot out and the entire wall shook.

Although the range power of these Folan cannons is not as good as the red cannons, their power is enough to blast through the walls of Shanxin Temple at a distance of only three hundred feet.

Even if the courtyard wall is strengthened, it is much stronger than the earthen wall in the small county town.

Moreover, the Folangji cannon, also known as the Zimu Cannon, has an extremely fast rate of fire. It fired three times in a row in just one hundred breaths, causing large areas of cracks in the courtyard wall.

"presumptuous!"

This is Shi Lingwu, the head of the warrior monks in the temple, the ‘head of the Demon-Subduing Hall’. His eyes were splitting, and he could not sit back and watch the courtyard wall being blown down by artillery. At this time, there was a roar, and more than twenty monks who had reached the third level of cultivation jumped off the courtyard wall with them.

In their previous plan, this was originally a countermeasure against the imperial cannon. Just use the tyrannical force in the temple to destroy these artillery pieces!

At this moment, the eyes of the thousand 'Heavenly Soldiers' soldiers all showed a cold light.

"All troops aim and shoot!"

Following the command of the 'divine general' leading the team, these thousand muskets spit out fiery snakes with a 'bang bang' sound. The dense fusiform bullets bombarded those monks, directly breaking through their protective Gang Yuan, and bombarded these monks who had reached the third level of cultivation until their flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Not only are the bullets of these muskets twice as fast as ordinary muskets, their accuracy is also astonishing. Nearly half of a thousand rounds hit the target.

Among them, Shi Lingwu, who had reached the fourth sect of cultivation and was the leader of the Demon Subduing Hall, was focused on the fire, and at least thirty blood flowers exploded all over his body.

Astonishment couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

Shi Lingwu thought, how could these muskets be so powerful? Even the ‘rune flintlock rifles’ currently equipped in large quantities by the imperial court would not be able to injure him at this distance.

What is surprising is that when these thousand soldiers fired at the same time, there was not much smoke rising from the scene.

Next, these thousands of 'Heavenly Soldiers' soldiers did not open the chambers of their muskets to clean the gunpowder residue in the chambers, nor did they load ammunition. Instead, he pulled the gun, pulled out the bright yellow bullet shell, and then filled another bullet with a copper shell and steel core into the gun chamber.

Metal bullets, firing pin collision, and manual bolt action. If a modern person appears here, he will find that these are the characteristics of a "manual bolt action rifle"!

Although this kind of rifle is ancient, it is not too outdated even in modern times where automatic rifles are rampant. As long as the distance can be increased, it is still very lethal.

These soldiers only took two breaths to complete reloading, and the god general leading the team waved his saber with a cold face.

"All troops aim and shoot!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Almost none of the monks who jumped down from the courtyard wall were alive. Their tyrannical martial arts golden bodies were bombarded by a thousand muskets and were riddled with holes, their brains bursting out.

Even Shi Lingwu, the leader of the Demon-Suppressing Hall, was covered in scars.

He roared unwillingly, turned back and fled towards the temple wall.

But then the thousand muskets fired a third salvo, and nearly 30% of the bullets in the dense rain of bullets hit Shi Lingwu's body. The huge force nailed his body directly to the courtyard wall.

At this time, the 'divine general' who led the team threw the bayonet violently, and directly drove it into Shi Lingwu's eyebrows from a distance.

Although this blow did not completely cut off Shi Lingwu's vitality, it made his body unable to move.

After that, the thousand heavenly soldiers continued their fourth and fifth rounds of shooting.

On the courtyard wall, Shi Lingtong, the abbot of Shanxin Temple, and Shi Lingzhen, the head of the Bible Study Hall, watched this scene helplessly, watching as Shi Lingwu, the head of the Demon Subduing Hall, was blasted into pieces of flesh and blood by the bullet.

At this time, the wall of the temple collapsed under the continuous bombardment.

The thousand muskets immediately fired into the breach in the courtyard wall.

Shi Lingtong, the abbot of Shanxin Temple, saw only flesh and blood flying everywhere. The monks who were exposed in the breach had their limbs broken or had huge bloody holes blasted out of their bodies under the bombardment of large bullets.

Those blood spots shot out in all directions, and some of them even spilled onto Shi Lingtong's face.

At this time, the temple wall was still collapsing further.

Shi Lingtong's facial muscles twitched, and then he said with an ashen face: "Surrender! Call outside to stop firing. Our Shanxin Temple is surrendering!"

"Senior brother!" Shi Lingzhen, the leader of the Bible Study Hall, said in a difficult voice, but he had no intention of stopping him.

He knew that those bullets outside the temple would sooner or later make it impossible for the many monks in the temple to hide and hide!

Those thousand heavenly soldiers were completely unable to compete with them.

The hundreds of monks in the courtyard, even if they risked their lives, could not hurt the heavenly soldiers in the slightest.

There is indeed a barrier in their courtyard, and they can also invite the true spirit of the 'Vajra' from the upper realm to bend down to the abbot and release spiritual power, making the abbot's strength reach the level of heaven.

But this doesn't mean much. Shi Lingzhen, the leader of the Bible Study Hall, has discovered that the divine general opposite him also has the aura of heaven.

At this time, if Shanxin Temple did not want to be killed, they had no choice but to surrender.

About three quarters later, many monks from Shanxin Temple, led by Shi Lingtong, the abbot of Shanxin Temple, and Shi Lingzhen, the head of the Sutra Research Hall, were driven into Zhenyuan Nails and put on cuffs to block their cultivation.

Among them, those with high levels of cultivation were wrapped in iron chains and sealed in prison cars, making them unable to move.

Abbot Shi Lingtong was sitting in a prison car, looking at the heavenly soldiers and generals outside.

While Shi Lingtong guessed the origin of these heavenly soldiers, he thought it was not over yet.

The believers they inspired will not give up, and the demons released will only become more unscrupulous.

If the imperial court wants to stabilize people's hearts, sooner or later it will have to use the power of Shanxin Temple and our Buddha.

At this time, Yuchi'an, a member of the Henan embroidery industry, was looking at the warehouses in the temple with great joy.

There are twenty granaries with a scale of ten thousand stones, as well as a large amount of gold, silver, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as elixirs and magic weapons.

However, this time the Fenyang County Prince made very thorough arrangements. Not far from Yuchi'an, there were officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and a supervisory censor.

In addition, according to the Shangguan's instructions, these heavenly soldiers of Emperor Xuanhuang will take away half of the property besides food as reward.

Yuchi'an was thinking about how to move his hands up and down, and read a book www.uukanshu. net scraped some oil and water from the treasury of Shanxin Temple and asked the god general who was collecting the property in the Small Universe Bag.

"Your Majesty!" Yu Chi'an looked respectful: "I wonder if I can invite your Majesty to come to this world in the future?"

The god general looked at him with an expressionless expression: "My Emperor Xuanhuang is the Supreme Lord of the Three Realms and the God of Merit and Goodness who protects the world. As long as you can devoutly believe in our Emperor in the future, abide by his divine commandments, and refrain from doing any evil, you will have success." You are qualified to recruit my heavenly soldiers and generals."

As he spoke, he threw a bright yellow piece of paper over.

Yu Chi'an took it in his hand and couldn't help being slightly stunned.

What was written on the piece of paper was actually a price list.

To recruit the three Heavenly Soldiers of the Fifth Level Tower for two hours, they need to sacrifice one thousand silver coins and bear the damage to their equipment.

To recruit three heavenly soldiers from the Sixth Level Tower for two hours, one needs to sacrifice one thousand and two silver coins and bear the loss of equipment.

To recruit the Heavenly Soldiers of the Seventh Layer Tower for two hours, you need to sacrifice three thousand silver coins and bear the damage to the equipment.

In this way, even the level of a divine general can be summoned, but it requires 200,000 silver dollars.

The corners of Yuchi'an's lips couldn't help but twitch, and then he thought that when he went back this time, he still had to offer a statue of the 'Tai Shang Miluo Zhi Zhen Xuan Huang Emperor' at home.

Although the price in this price list is shocking. But in today's world, a medium-grade magic weapon costs ten thousand taels of silver!

If you support a martial arts cultivator with a seventh-level cultivation level, you will have to pay at least 20,000 grains of silver in a year.

Also, he had to report to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to recognize and canonize this great emperor as soon as possible and include him in the system of praying to gods.

In this way, he can ask the court to reimburse most of the expenses for recruiting heavenly soldiers and generals in the future, instead of having to bear it himself.

And it is up to the imperial court to communicate and negotiate with Emperor Xuanhuang, and they may be able to get a discount on the cost of summoning the heavenly soldiers.
