Chapter 166 Gongsun Family
Three months later, the Demonic East China Sea Temporary Headquarters launched a war mobilization order.
All the logistics monks and wounded soldiers who were recuperating behind the East China Sea immediately rushed to the front line of the Luosong Mountains inland to participate in support without delay.
At this time, the Jingtan envoys, including Lin Shan, had to be put on the shelves and took over the transfer orders from the headquarters.
After all, this time is different from ten years ago, when the demon camp had strong soldiers and masters. At this time, the strength of the troops was already stretched thin, so it was natural to recruit all the strong men according to the number one.
The transfer task that Lin Shan received was to go to the central theater to find reports on the reorganized ninth detachment. The captain of this team was still his old boss Yan Yuanchun, which showed that the devil was a little more reasonable in this regard.
And after several months of practice, he finally managed to stabilize his cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building, so he would probably be able to fight with others without any worries.
……
Half a month later, a passenger flying boat flew quietly in the eastern hinterland of the Song Dynasty.
In the large cabin hall, Lin Shan sat cross-legged in the corner and silently adjusted his breath. There were a boat full of nearly a thousand demonic monks sitting around, two-thirds of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.
These people were originally logistics personnel or wounded soldiers, but when the frontline war was tight, they had to be mobilized to make up the numbers. At this time, some of them were in twos and threes, and some even formed a circle, exchanging information they had learned from channels.
"I heard from my brother-in-law in the sect that in recent months, the front lines of the Luosong Mountains have been full of fighting for three days and one small battle for two days, and it has turned into a bloody millstone."
"Isn't that right? My senior brothers on the front line have sent a message back. Reinforcements from the northwest and southwest of the righteous path are coming in a steady stream. We, the Demon Sect Alliance Army, may be afraid."
"Your information is out of date. I heard that ten days ago, two of the dozen or so entrance camps in the Luosong Mountains were breached. Now it can be said that the east wall is demolished to repair the west wall!"
"According to rumors, quite a few of the sect families in the eastern part of the Song Dynasty that had previously surrendered have been shaken. This group of wallflowers is likely to become a hidden danger in our hinterland."
"I have secret rumors here. It is said that the Huangquan Sect of the Yan Kingdom and the Nanhai Great Sect Lin Yuzhai have secretly discussed withdrawing their troops. Without the restraints, Qianyunge and Yushou Valley will probably join the war in the near future!"
< br>
"Then the number of Zhengdao's participation in the Nascent Soul stage will increase to double digits?"
……
There were many different opinions in the hall, and I don't know which one of them was reliable, but each one of them described it in a realistic way. Even Lin Shan, who was adjusting his breath, was frightened when he heard it.
The reason why the three sects of the Demonic Path are still holding on to various places in the Luosong Mountains is because the other two major sects of the Righteous Path are restrained by their allies. This allows them to rest assured and wait for the Lu State General Forum to send troops for reinforcements. When the new reinforcements are in place, they can still form an overwhelming advantage over the Zixiao Sect.
After all, there is only one "Alchemy Book and Golden Edict", and it is a consumable item that is gone once it is used up. And even if it can still be used, it is impossible for the Zixiao Sect to find a second super spiritual vein to supply and stimulate, so the three demon sects still have a chance.
But all this is based on a delicate balance. If the reinforcements from the rear do not arrive in time, and the allies in the north and south really retreat, how can they still fight this battle?
Moreover, even if those rumors are just a cover, several gaps in the front line have been broken before, and even if they are closed later, there may still be fish that slip through the net.
These people are very likely to cause trouble behind the demonic camp, fanning the flames and confusing people.
Lin Shan's heart was solemn. It was no better than before. The demonic path was now in decline. It was hard to say whether the allies in the north and the south would continue to contain him. It is indeed possible that these wallowing forces in the eastern hinterland who have surrendered to the demonic ways will take a second look.
No wonder Lin Fan, his good brother from the same clan, traveled thousands of miles to give him a letter asking him to escape from the devil's path as soon as possible. It can be seen that Zhengdao may have really gotten some inside information, and is already full of confidence. It feels that the chances of winning this war are high if the stalemate continues.
……
The flying boat flew across the sky, arrived at the front line of the Luosong Mountains, and stopped steadily at the edge of the camp outside the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon.
At this moment, the camp was surprisingly deserted. There was neither a chilling atmosphere nor a large gathering of demon elites, only a few patrolling monks.
A vulture on the archery tower at the entrance of the camp stared with cold eyes and uttered human words:
"Stop those who come, show your identity and verify your true identity!"
Thousands of demonic monks in the flying boat disembarked and lined up at the gate of the camp to be interrogated. Two humanoid puppets were staring at white light in front of them. It seemed to be some kind of detection method that could identify the authenticity of identity tokens and individuals. .
Lin Shan did not jump in line, went over honestly, accepted the review, and then entered the camp without incident.
At this time, there were more than 20 people in the camp who had been waiting for him for a long time. When they saw Lin Shan coming in, they all ran over to hug him.
"Master Messenger, you are finally out of seclusion. I want you to die!"
"Without you, we would have no backbone, and we would have to survive every time"
"It's safe and reliable to follow you. I almost lost my life in the past few years~"
"I thought I would never see you again, wuwu. No, I mean it's great that you are still alive, isn't it? I'm talking about myself"
……
Lin Shan was originally very happy to see a group of boys, but when he heard one of the boys curse him, he felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. I glanced sideways at this kid, and suddenly remembered that this guy seemed to be the weird guy who crossed the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon and stayed alone in the Poisonous Mist Forest for three or four days.
"Eh? Your boy has actually reached the ninth level of Qi practice?"
When he first took office in Donghai, he had hundreds of people under his command, but now there are only these twenty or so left, and he is very sad.
Now, after ten years of training, most of these guys have advanced their cultivation to the late stage of Qi training through merit points. The best ones are like this kid, who has reached the ninth level of Qi training, reaching the point where they can attack the foundation.
"Well, not bad. Oh no, where is the red-faced Toutuo?"
He remembered that the red-faced Tutuo also had perfected his Qi practice, but there was no such person in the crowd.
At this time, his number one confidant, Old Man Zhong, stood up and explained with some hesitation.
"Ten years ago, when I was at the Bianliang Camp, a red-faced Tutu came with your telegraph, and I arranged for him. However, after the shocking battle against the Zixiao Sect, this person suddenly left the team and disappeared. .”
This matter is strange to say. In the shocking battle of Zixiao Sect, the demonic alliance suffered heavy losses.
Lin Shan's team, even though they were originally slippery and capable masters, were able to escape unharmed under the leadership of Old Man Zhong in such a desperate situation. I have to say that this group of people There are several brushes.
As for the red-faced Toutuo, I don’t know which muscle he suffered from. He left the team on his own initiative at that time, and his whereabouts are unknown to this day.
Lin Shan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. It was a pity for this person's eloquence. He originally thought that he would have the opportunity to go to the Huanxi Sect in the Piluo Desert in the future. Having this person go with him might bring him a lot of convenience. However, separation and death were normal, so he looked at them quite openly and did not dwell too much on them. After reminiscing with a group of subordinates, he walked into the Chinese army's tent alone.
At this time, there were three Golden Core Protectors of the Black Lotus Sect sitting cross-legged in the big tent, discussing military affairs with each other.
Lin Shan saw Protector Yan busy up there, so he didn't disturb him and just waited quietly.
After a while, the other two guardians walked out of the tent, and now only Yan Yuanchun and Lin Shan were left here.
"I have met the Protector, and this is my order."
Lin Shan handed over the transfer order of Donghai Temporary Headquarters. Yan Yuanchun simply put it away and nodded casually without looking at it.
"You're so lucky, you happened to be able to avoid the battle with the Zixiao Sect. It's just a pity that Yuchun, Huanchun, and Yunchun were the ones."
Most of Yan Yuanchun's direct descendants were killed in the Zixiao Sect, and the other three female cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Period all died in fragility. These people were the disciples she had worked so hard to train in Yichuan. It was inevitable to lose so many people all at once, and it was inevitable to be emotionally sad.
Lin Shan didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to change the topic: "That little girl Luanchun."
Protector Yan thought of Luan Chun and showed a doting look: "She is fine. I have sent her to the rear to perform tasks."
At the same time, he seemed to think of something, and asked a little narrowly: "Why do you care so much about her?"
Lin Shan couldn't help but hesitate, then smiled casually: "It's nothing, I just wanted to say hello as a fellow disciple."
Yan Yuanchun carefully observed Lin Shan's expression and saw that his eyes were open and clear, showing no shyness and dodge, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In fact, she really wanted to bring Lin Shan and Luan Chun together. After all, he was young and had a good level of cultivation, and she had gotten to know him well over the years.
Now that the war situation is unfavorable, I cannot take care of all aspects on many occasions. Therefore, it is relatively safe to entrust Luan Chun, who regards him as his own, to him, but it is a pity that this boy does not have the intention not to say it, as if giving people a faint feeling, it seems that the heart is higher than the sky.
< br>
Could it be that this guy has very high vision? Even Luan Chun doesn’t like it?
Yan Yuanchun gave up after thinking for a moment and did not dwell too much on the matter.
Lin Shan also promptly raised the doubts caused by what he saw and heard on the road.
"Lord Protector, I heard that there have been constant battles on the front line of Luosong Mountains for three days? Then why are we so deserted here now?"
Yan Yuanchun patiently explained to him that several groups of righteous monks had indeed emerged from the Zangdu Grand Canyon some time ago, but they were all beaten back by the camp here.
Later, the righteous coalition forces opened breakthroughs in the north and south, that is, in the areas under the jurisdiction of Baigui Gate and Blood River Palace, which caused excessive pressure on the defense lines on both sides. In addition, the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon is a naturally dangerous area, so all the elites were transferred to support the friendly forces.
The defense changed to the old, weak, sick and disabled from the East China Sea, symbolically guarding the Dirty Poison Canyon camp.
The most intense battles in the central war zone are currently in Chaisang Port and Dongmenguan, where battles are fought every day on both land and water. The rumored flesh-and-blood millstone refers to that place.
"It just so happens that you are here, and I also have a task for you."
Yan Yuanchun spread out the map of the Song Dynasty in front of the big tent, and his eyes kept crossing the mountains, rivers and plains.
"There is no war going on here in the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon, but the eastern part of the Song Dynasty is the hinterland of our demonic path. Many small and medium-sized sects and aristocratic families in the world of cultivation are on both sides of the snake and mouse, and they are undecided when they see the defeat on the front line."
"I have received a new secret report. Some sects and aristocratic families have secretly contacted the righteous monks a few days ago. We, the devil, will never tolerate such things that swing at both ends. If it is found out, it will be two words:
Destroy the whole family! ”
Lin Shan was secretly surprised when he heard Protector Yan's cold voice, no matter what he thought about it. Now that the devil is at a disadvantage, in troubled times, it is necessary to use heavy scriptures. It really needs a few forces to scare the monkeys and suppress the small ones.
"Stabilizing the rear area has to be done by other people. Nowadays, many places on the front line are facing tight fighting, and a large amount of manpower is also needed. The task I give you this time is to request reinforcements."
Yan Yuanchun turned around and explained to him solemnly.
"There is a family of cultivators in Shangdang County, the Gongsun family. They were a subordinate family of our Demonic Way thousands of years ago, and their ancestors were true disciples of the Black Lotus Sect. They are one of the more trustworthy families. You are here to convey the order and bring back reinforcements. ”
"I will give you orders from the newly established United Front Department in a moment. If we can bring back reinforcements, we will bring them back. If we can't bring them back, just stay there and wait and see what happens. It will be the same with or without you here."
Lin Shan trembled slightly after hearing these words. He understood the hidden meaning of Protector Yan:
If you don't bring back any reinforcements, just stay there and don't go back to the front line. You're avoiding the battle openly, and no one else can fault you.
It seems that Protector Yan is not optimistic about the upcoming war and has begun to leave a way out for his men in advance. It is estimated that the little girl Luan Chun was released according to her wishes.
"Thank you, sir, I understand."
Lin Shan once again chatted with Yan Yuanchun about cultivation matters. Yan Yuanchun, who was in the golden elixir stage, naturally gave him guidance on cultivation at will, which benefited him a lot.
Half an hour later, Lin Shan collected the orders from the United Front Work Department and walked out of the Chinese army tent.
The hot dog days were scorching the earth, the crows outside the camp were noisy, and the Dirty Grand Canyon in the distance was filled with deep clouds and fog, which made him feel heavy involuntarily.
He summoned all his subordinates and went with him on a mission to visit the Gongsun family. Everyone knew it at once and could leave the front line and go to the rear. Naturally, everyone was happy.
Clean up a little and take a break.
One day later, Lin Shan took everyone flying to the north on the Cloud Falling Banner.
……
At the same time, in a hilly cave somewhere in the eastern part of the Song Dynasty, a group of righteous monks gathered in a circle and were discussing something. Outside the cave entrance and around it, there were monks in twos and threes hiding on guard.
"The general offensive on the front line is scheduled for two months later, when Qianyun Pavilion and Yushou Valley will attack together."
"Yes, our righteous all-out counterattack is about to begin. It's a pity that I can't be there to witness the grand event!"
"Don't worry, Master Mang. We are waiting to stir up the storm behind the demonic path. We may be able to set off a spark and ignite it into a prairie fire."
"This is a great kindness. The sects and families in the east have been suffering from evil for a long time. As long as they release good intentions, they will be able to do good again."
"Based on previous secret testing, there are more than thirty forces that are likely to instigate rebellion, including Jiangdong Kurong Tower, Lingnan Guxian Village, Huaibei Jinyu Sect, Yanmen Wuyang Palace, and Shangdang Gongsun Family."
……
Five days later, Lin Shan and his party rode on the clouds and slowly arrived at the Gongsun Family of the Immortal Cultivation Family.
