Pawn Crossing the River

The great palace minister died in the battle, and the priests of Tianmen were also defeated. Under the leadership of Li Changge and Yao Pei, the Taoist priests invaded the Ise Shrine.

Qi Xuansu did not join in the fun, letting Zhang Yuelu rest in his arms, and simply found a place to sit down outside the shrine.

The two of them had enough military exploits that they no longer cared about such trivial details.

No one will accuse them of being afraid of fighting, but they will be grateful to them and think that they are being humble.

It can be heard that there is still resistance in Ise Shrine, but it is just a stubborn resistance and has nothing to do with the overall situation.

After a while, Zhang Yuelu, who was leaning in Qi Xuansu's arms, opened his eyes: "Is it over?"

Qi Xuansu replied: "Although it is not over yet, the overall situation has been decided."

Zhang Yuelu let out a low "hmm".

Qi Xuansu asked softly: "How do you feel?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy." Zhang Yuelu couldn't hide his tiredness and didn't struggle to get up.

Qi Xuansu said: "Then just sleep for a while, I'm here."

Zhang Yuelu disagreed: "This is a battlefield."

Qi Xuansu borrowed an ancient poem: "Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times."

Zhang Yuelu smiled and said: "In that case, where is my luminous cup of grape wine?"

Qi Xuansu said: "When we go back."

Zhang Yuelu stopped talking and lay in Qi Xuansu's arms, looking up with half-squinted eyes.

Only then did she realize that the place Qi Xuansu had chosen was very good. There was actually a cherry tree that had been spared. It sank into the underground mountain along with the shrine. It was spring, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, with petals falling from time to time.

The depths of the mountain are like the middle of the night, and stars are dotted on the tips of the upside-down stalactites above, forging a starry night scene. If one ignores the sounds of fighting in Ise Jingu Shrine, it turns out to be a beautiful scene of cherry blossoms at night.

Zhang Yuelu murmured: "The late spring light once a year brings the fragrance of falling flowers in a foreign country."

At this moment, a sword light illuminated the false night and opened a gap.

A mirror flew out from this gap, even a few points smaller than an ordinary mirror. As it fell, fluids continued to fly away.

This is the "Yatata Mirror", the first of Fenglinzhou's three major artifacts. Now it has been restored to its original shape. Except for the Yata Mirror, Sanguizi is nowhere to be seen.

In fact, it would take some time before the Imperial Master wanted to deal with Mikiko's divine incarnation. However, the Taoist priest's attack on Ise Shrine accelerated Mikiko's defeat. The Imperial Master did not allow Mikiko's divine incarnation to go smoothly. Returning to the Kingdom of God, but killing him completely. For a long time in the future, the three main gods will be unable to interfere in the human world except for coming down to earth in their true form.

After a moment, a portal opened above Ise Jingu Shrine, and the Imperial Master holding the "Kowting Gate" slowly walked out of it, crossed the sky, and overlooked the Ise Jingu Shrine below.

Wherever the Imperial Master looked, various formations began to collapse, speeding up the process of the Spirit Officers' capture of Ise Shrine.

Finally, the Imperial Master landed in front of the main entrance of the Imperial Shrine. When he walked in, he could see the statue of Himiko, dressed like a member of the royal family, with the sun hanging high behind his back and holding the "Yatata Mirror" in both hands.

At this time, the "Yata Mirror" was dim and dull, and there were still slight cracks on the mirror surface. It was obvious that the wear and tear was extremely serious, and it would take a long time of divine nourishment to restore it to its original state.

The Imperial Master pointed at the statue.

The statue turned around involuntarily, turning its back to the main entrance and facing the wall.

Above the East China Sea.

Master Qingwei took the initiative to disperse the "Xingluo Sword Formation", and Tamamo Mae also put away her tail behind her, just like an ordinary woman.

A shadow of a fox "ran" from the direction of Ise Omikami Mountain, and finally merged into Tamamo Mae's body.

Tamamo Mae asked: "Did Taiping Dao Master take action?"

"It should be." Master Qingwei responded.

Tamamo Mae sighed: "It seems that Sanguizi has still been defeated, or the failure of the entire Tianmen is inevitable."

Master Qingwei said: "My previous promise is still valid."

Tamamo Mae didn't answer directly: "The Tsuchimikado-ryu Onmyoji was very prosperous at that time. Except for being injured by a catastrophe, its leader, Tsuchimikado Yasuchika, never had a defeat. He single-handedly led the Onmyodo suppression. After passing through Tianmen and Buddhism, I became a being similar to an alliance leader, and could even use the three artifacts of Tianmen and the imperial family at will. If I were to fight alone, I would not necessarily lose, but Tsuchimikado Taichi had many helpers, and he also used the three artifacts. I was defeated by the Eight-tat Mirror, and my soul was taken away by the Eight-tat Mirror. After I escaped from Pingjing, Tianmen still refused to let me go, and pursued me three times."

Master Qingwei specially studied this record in order to recruit Tamamo Mae.

In the first stage, the Fenglinzhou court sent 130,000 pursuing troops to attack with bows and arrows. Tamamo no Mae used his natural magical power to set off a hurricane, blowing away arrows and raining fire, burning more than 30,000 people to death in one breath. The pursuers also brought in shield chariots and used frost as a barrier to surround Tamamo-mae. Tamamo-mae waved her third tail and triggered an earthquake, causing the tragic death of 20,000 people in the front army. The 70,000 people retreated first and left through a valley in Nasuno. Tamamo Mae shook the fourth and fifth tails. First, a meteorite blocked the road, and then a flood rose. Only seven people escaped from the 70,000 army. The first phase of the battle is over.

The second stage was the main attack in front of Tamamo. The Houlinzhou court sent another 300,000 troops. The army returned to the vicinity of Nasuno. They had just set up camp. The main generals were discussing matters in the camp. A huge thunder struck down and killed all the generals. . For a moment, the army was leaderless. At this time, a strange lifeless army appeared in the direction of Nasuno. Some people were wet, some were charred, and some were bloody. It was the first pursuing army that killed Nasuno. , was turned into an army of undead by Tamamo Mae. The army fled in all directions, and many little demon foxes rushed out on the road. In just one night, more than half of the army was lost, another 150,000 people. Counting the first time, nearly 300,000 people had died.

Fortunately, the monks, priests, and onmyoji arrived, purified the undead army, and defeated the demon fox. The two sides entered a stalemate.

In the third stage, another 500,000 people were sent, together with thousands of priests, monks, and onmyoji, to launch a counterattack. Three hundred and sixty monks formed a demon-suppressing formation, formed three hundred and sixty chains, and bound Tamamo-mae, and activated scriptures to form a cage to seal it. Eight hundred onmyoji opened the barrier together to support the demon-suppressing formation. The army took the opportunity to attack Tamamo-mae. In the end, the army sacrificed 200,000 people. All the demon-suppressing masters spent their entire lives cultivating themselves and activated a Buddhist fairy. Killed Tamamo Mae.

No matter what others think, Qingwei Zhenren had one thought after watching it, which is outrageous.

A total of half a million people died in order to kill Tamamo Mae.

This is like the literati who have no idea about the number of people. They always talk about how big or too many people are. It can be like a million troops or eight million gods in the sky. In fact, the Taoist sect used less than 100,000 people to attack Fenglinzhou. It also includes various logistics and auxiliary personnel, and the actual combat personnel will not exceed 50,000.

Although there is a huge army of servants of Prime Minister Toyotomi in addition to the less than 100,000 people, it is undeniable that even with the wealth of Daomen and Daxuan, they cannot casually mobilize a million-strong army. They can maintain a million-strong army. A large army can maintain an army and dispatch an army to fight are two different concepts. Not to mention the death of 500,000 people. Note, these are deaths, not casualties.

Based on his own experience, Master Qingwei believes that this story is false.

The key is that this story is contradictory. First, it is said that Tsuchimikado Yasuchika seriously injured Tamamo-mae, and then it is said that a million troops were mobilized to conquer Tamamo-mae at the cost of 500,000 deaths. So what did Tsuchimikado Yasuchika do?

The specific truth is probably only known by Tamamo Mae himself.

Master Qingwei asked: "It is said that in order to kill you, the Fenglinzhou court dispatched a million troops, and half a million people died in the end. Is it true?"

Tamamo Mae said: "Historians rarely know the soldiers and cannot record the actual traces. Of course there is no so-called million-strong army, only tens of thousands of people plus thousands of priests, onmyojis, and monks, who eventually killed me who was seriously injured."

Master Qingwei asked again: "Because the 'Yata Mirror' imprisoned your soul, you must obey the orders of Ise Shrine. But how did you come back from the dead?"

Tamamozen smiled and said: "This should be what the Taoist sect wants to know most."

Master Qingwei does not deny it: "Taoism can create gods, but it cannot bring people back to life."

Yu Zaoqian said: "A ruler is shorter and an inch is longer. It is undeniable that Daomen is more powerful than Tianmen, but Tianmen also has places that Daomen cannot reach. The key lies in Huangquan Kingdom. We all know that Weiyuan Kingdom is Fenglin On the continent, Gaotian Kingdom is the kingdom of God where the three main gods live, but Huangquan Kingdom is an extremely mysterious place. Of course, Huangquan Kingdom is not the Nine Yin Netherworld in the traditional sense, but a special divine kingdom. I have read the legend about me. You should remember this paragraph, which said that I once turned an army of more than 100,000 dead into an army of undead. In fact, I did not have such magical powers. In fact, the priests used the magic of Huangquan Kingdom to resurrect the warriors I killed. "

Master Qingwei continued: "And after your death, you were resurrected by Huangquan Kingdom."

Tamamo Mae said: "After I was resurrected, I still managed to maintain my status as a sage, but my strength was greatly reduced, which is also one of the costs of being resurrected. Before the real person could truly attain immortality, I was no longer an opponent, let alone A person like a national master, but if I can return to my peak state, I will definitely not be my opponent."

Master Qingwei did not deny this, and then asked: "Why is Huangquan Kingdom so special?"

"As far as I know, the Kingdom of Huangquan is the kingdom of God left by the first generation of gods. Later, Yi Zang Ran Zun, one of the second generation gods, took over. After Yi Zang Ran Zun disappeared, Yi Zang Nuo Zun became the master of the Kingdom of Huang Quan. However, There are also rumors that Yi Zangnuo Zun sealed the Huangquan Kingdom because Izanagi Ranzun was resurrected in the Huangquan Kingdom. Suzhanwu Zun once wanted to open the Huangquan Kingdom. As a result, Yi Zangranzun was very angry. After the three noble sons overthrew Yi Zangnuo Zun, Yue Yejianzun inherited Huangquan Kingdom. However, Yue Yejianzun rarely went to Huangquan Kingdom and spent most of his time in Gaotian Kingdom. Tao Lai.

Master Qingwei said thoughtfully: "Yueye Jianzun does not look like the master of Huangquan Kingdom, but more like the guard of Huangquan Kingdom."
