Chapter 362: Five years of wind and rain, the devil swallowed the sun! (Two-in-one)
Song Changming was quite happy when he saw the successfully arranged talisman array for the first time in the courtyard.
Only the entry-level Spirit Gathering Array has such an effect, and as he gains more experience, the effect will only get better.
At the same time, it is also of great help to his Qi refining practice.
“Ah, congratulations, sir, it’s a success!”
Ah Er on the side was also very happy and looked at the talisman array curiously.
He couldn't feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy. He only felt that the ground was bright and the white light was very cool, and he felt very comfortable staying in the yard.
Of course he also knew that this talisman formation should be something extraordinary.
"Young master is really all-powerful, he knows everything." Ada looked at Song Changming with nothing but respect.
I just feel that there is nothing in the world that can be difficult to get my son.
The little yellow chicken and the little white bird in the room noticed the movement in the yard and jumped on the window sill, quietly witnessing the whole process of Song Changming's successful arrangement of the talisman array.
After about an hour, the spiritual crystals in the talisman array were exhausted, and the talisman array fell silent, losing its function of gathering spirits.
"Can the entry-level small spirit gathering array only last for one hour?" Song Changming sat in the courtyard, looked at the eclipsed talisman array on the ground, and shook his head.
An hour-long small spirit gathering array costs four pieces of mid-grade spirit crystals and eighteen pieces of low-grade spirit crystals.
This price is not small.
If you don't care about the cost and just pursue the ultimate speed of cultivation, you can consider superimposing such a cultivation talisman array.
Anyone who has a limited number of spiritual crystals would not consider a small spirit gathering array of this level. It is really not cost-effective.
To reduce the cost of formation, Song Changming has two known methods.
The first is to increase the experience value of this talisman array, so that the one-hour small spirit gathering array can last for one day, five days, or ten days.
The second method is to completely replace the materials of the formation and replace the spiritual crystals with spiritual vein arrangements!
In this way, as long as the spiritual veins can still produce spiritual energy, the talisman array can continue to operate.
It is equivalent to one being a small spiritual gathering array arrangement for temporary use, and the other being a semi-permanent talisman array arrangement.
"No matter what, the first talisman formation was finally successfully arranged." Song Changming smiled lightly.
Although there are still many unsatisfactory aspects of the talisman array, he is satisfied with it.
The next step is to accumulate time and slowly improve and improve.
Time passes bit by bit, like gentle breeze and soothing rain.
Although there is a slight sensation when it is shaved on the face, it is difficult for people on the road to feel the passage of time.
When I came back to my senses, I suddenly realized that time had left so many traces and gains and losses on each other.
Five years were so easily passed over by all the creatures in the world.
Five years later.
Cuibai Road, outside the main city of Cuibai, is on a wilderness plain.
The galloping momentum of the war horses is like a torrent, sweeping across all directions.
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered here, forming dozens of square formations.
There is another open battlefield in the middle. At this moment, the two selected armies are fighting fiercely, causing huge commotion.
This is another round of military parade.
In terms of time, although the military parade was delayed and late, this rare opportunity to rectify military discipline will never be missed.
Over the battlefield, several government military attachés flew around and watched the battle below, acting as supervisors and referees.
On one side of the battlefield, above the peak.
There are also many royal officials holding notebooks to record every detail of the battle.
Among the seats, the leader of the seats is naturally the Cui King who dominates the Cuibai Road.
Behind him were forty-eight military marshals, as well as Hu Zhong, the military marshal, who also accompanied King Cui.
Besides the marshals are all the military flag-bearers.
Song Changming was wearing a set of gilded flag master's armor robes. He did not wear a helmet, his hair was simply tied up, and he stood beside Yang Zhen with his arms folded.
Looking calmly at the fierce confrontation between the two armies below, I felt a little sigh in my heart.
I still remember the last military parade. As a general, he participated in the fight and showed everyone his extraordinary martial arts.
But this time, he didn't have to face the consequences personally.
In the past five years, his position has changed again, from the originally designated candidate for the small flag leader to officially becoming a full-time official.
Became the 41st Army, the fifth small flag leader under Wang Tianshuang after Gao Shuxi.
This is basically undisputed.
Song Changming's record of killing the elder of the Zhao clan is really convincing.
In terms of strength, he is basically unparalleled among the generals, unmatched by anyone.
If Wang Tianshuang did not promote him to the rank of small banner leader, he would probably have Song Changming recruited away by other Cui Banner troops the next year.
This year is also the third year that Song Changming was promoted to the small flag leader.
"Changming, without you as a general in the army this year, I'm afraid the ranking of our 41st Army will decline." Wang Shifu couldn't help but shook his head as he looked at the fierce battle of his own army below.
"There is nothing we can do about it. With Changming's current ability, participating in the war would be a bit of a bully." Yang Zhen said to Song Changming to save him.
"Besides, there is still Tiexin, so he may not lose his ranking, and even if he drops one or two places, it will be excusable." Therefore, he still serves as the commander-in-chief.
But his strength has truly reached the standards of a small flag master.
Compared to five years ago, Xing Tiexin, who had opened up the Tianwu Meridian, has been in a period of rapid growth in strength in recent years.
Now he has grown into a trump card among the military commanders, a true mainstay.
No wonder Yang Zhen has always been optimistic about Xing Tiexin.
"Brother Yang is still as optimistic as ever. Last time we ranked fourteenth in the military parade, I'm afraid it won't end if we lose one or two places this time." Gao Shuxi said calmly. .
It’s not that he dislikes the good of his own army, he just doesn’t want to deal with Yang Zhen, and incidentally he doesn’t like Song Changming and Xing Tiexin who are traveling with Yang Zhen.
On weekdays, he would make sarcastic remarks about the three of them from time to time, which would make them stumbling and make people unhappy.
Another point is that the Gao family behind this person is close to the Zhao family.
To put it more bluntly, the Gao family is located in the Second City District and has always been Zhao's loyal lackey.
Therefore, even for reasons of position, it is impossible for this Gao Shuxi to associate with Song Changming and the others.
"Xing Tiexin's personal bravery is good among our army, but when looking at the generals of the entire army, it is not enough."
As soon as Gao Shuxi finished speaking, on the battlefield, Suddenly, a small hilltop was blown to pieces by a powerful blast of energy.
Looking closely, it was Xing Tiexin who single-handedly defeated one of the opponent's generals and dozens of guards.
For a time, the 41st Army was as powerful as a rainbow, and the opponent was in danger of being defeated.
This also made Gao Shuxi unable to speak his sarcastic words for a moment, as if he had been slapped in the face.
Several small flag owners of the 41st Army were quite excited, but he remained silent. After winning the first battle, Xing Tiexin played brilliantly and his performance was eye-catching for everyone to see.
Song Changming is also happy for Xing Tiexin. According to the current situation, it should be within a few years that Xing Tiexin can also be promoted to the position of small flag leader, and he does not need to worry about anything.
As for Gao Shuxi, in his eyes now, he is just a small character.
Although the Gao family behind it is in the Second City District, not to mention the top families like Wang, Meng, and Zhao, it is one level worse than the Guan family behind Guan Yuntai. Naturally, it cannot threaten him now. .
Gaoshuxi itself is already a facade that the Gao family has tried its best to cultivate and launch. Song Changming, who was able to kill Zhao Liang five years ago, is not afraid of a small Gaoshuxi now, so he does not take it seriously. inside.
According to his observation, Wang Tianshuang already wants to move the position of the little flag leader of Gaoshuxi.
After all, the Wang family represented by Wang Tianshuang is already in opposition to the Zhao family, so naturally he will not keep such a scoundrel of the Zhao family around for long.
Gao Shuxi's situation is actually not very good. He may be kicked out one day because of a crime.
"Which two armies will fight next?" Song Changming asked.
"The Fifth Army and the Twenty-first Army." Yang Zhen glanced at them from a distance and said.
“The Fifth Army.” Song Changming was still impressed.
In the last military parade, it was the Fifth Army led by Meng Kunlun that gave them a taste of defeat.
It's a pity that this year, he was promoted to a small flag leader, and he was destined to have no chance to fight with the fifth army again.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed a line of sight falling on him, and he couldn't help but look sideways.
“It’s him.”
The person who caught his eye was the former top general of the Fifth Army.
The man who was born with the power of thunder, Xu Yuan.
Back then, it was his presence that made Song Changming and him both out of the game.
Now, after so many years, Song Changming has become the minor flag master, and the opponent is also wearing the banner master's armor robe and standing on the summit stand.
There is no doubt that the other party has also been promoted to the banner leader of the Fifth Army.
"It's a pity that I don't have the chance to compete with you again." Xu Yuan was not far away and directly controlled his voice to reach Song Changming's ears.
"Congratulations to Brother Xu for being promoted to Flag Master." Song Changming smiled and said.
"It happened four years ago. I heard that you killed that Zhao family elder. If I have a chance, I will challenge you again!"
Xu Yuan didn't seem to be that concerned about his position as flag leader, but instead invited Song Changming to fight.
"Okay." Song Changming agreed.
In recent years, because Song Changming has risen so quickly and has such amazing achievements, there are actually many generals in the military department who come to him for competition.
Most of the time, Song Changming would accept it without bothering him.
On the one hand, this allows him to accumulate practical experience and can also verify the results of his practice over a period of time.
On the other hand, he has preserved his own traditions very well.
If you want to compete with him, you need to have enough winnings.
In this way, throughout the year, he actually made a lot of money from the gambling games that came to his door, which could, to a certain extent, cover the material consumption needed for his daily cultivation.
At the same time, on the battlefield.
The situation in this battle was not anxious, and it soon became one-sided.
Although the Fifth Army also lacked General Xu Yuan, its military strength was not reduced too much. It completed a wave of suppression with overwhelming momentum and easily won the first victory of this military parade.
Xu Yuan was in the stands and seemed quite satisfied with the army's performance. He looked relaxed and was talking and laughing with his colleagues around him.
On the other hand, Meng Kunlun, who was sitting on the commander's seat, still closed his eyes and meditated, and kept his expression serious.
A big victory at a military parade was nothing to him.
While the military parade here is in full swing, the treasure land of Sanqianling Mountain is far to the west of Yunzhou.
On a peak shrouded in clouds and mist, there are many treasure palaces, like palaces in the sky.
A huge white jade stone tablet stands on the top of the peak, nearly a hundred feet high!
There are three ancient characters engraved on it.
Tiandaoyuan!
The sect that used to be peaceful is now experiencing a lot of chaos.
In a bamboo house, a man who slept until midnight heard the strange noises coming from the Taoist temple and couldn't help but push the door open and walk out.
If Song Changming were present, he would definitely recognize this person.
It was Li Jinyu who came to Guyuan Kingdom with him that year and was a good talker!
"Senior brother, what happened today with such a noise?" Li Jinyu, wearing a simple white disciple uniform, stretched out his hand to stop a person on the road and asked with a bow.
"Elder Jin has calculated that there is a fierce phenomenon in the sky today, which is the evil god swallowing the sun that has not appeared in three hundred years! I am afraid that the three states of the human race will all be robbed!" The senior brother explained immediately.
"The devil swallows the sun." Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment.
He remembered hearing this omen from his master.
I never thought that it would appear so suddenly today!
He knew that Elder Jin was a man of great ability. His stargazing ability was enough to rank among the top bosses in the Tiandao Academy.
Since it comes from the mouth of Elder Jin, this prediction is basically correct!
The evil god swallowing the sun is really coming, and it’s today!
"No more, the master ordered us to spread this news as soon as possible and warn the three human states!"
After that, the senior brother bowed and left in a hurry.
"I think I am safe in this Heavenly Dao Temple. I wonder how brother Changming has been doing these years?" Li Jinyu suddenly thought of Song Changming who was still in Yunzhou.
Pinch lightly with your fingers and make a little deduction.
However, it is still like seeing flowers in the smoke and being confused.
The existence of Song Changming is extremely difficult to estimate.
This was the case in the past, and it is still the case now that he has been a disciple of Tiandao Academy for many years.
He could only deduce that Song Changming was roughly in the Cuibai Road area of Yunzhou. He had no idea what Song Changming was doing specifically and what opportunities and dangers there would be in the future.
“I haven’t mastered my skills yet.” Li Jinyu shook his head and lowered his hands.
"Brother Changming, I can only hope that you are safe and sound."
Song Changming looked at the sky.
The sun sets in the west, and the huge orange sun is setting little by little.
“It’s time to rest today.” Song Changming counted the time and said to himself.
"Changming, come to my place for a drink later. Tiexin performed well today." Yang Zhen turned around and smiled.
"Okay." Song Changming didn't refuse.
At this time of severe crackdown, it is not allowed to go to romantic places, so it doesn’t matter if we have a few drinks at our respective homes.
While he was talking, a strange atmosphere suddenly enveloped him.
Song Changming frowned slightly, raised his eyes and slowly opened his eyes.
The scorching sun setting in the west is now being swallowed up by a touch of darkness!
