Chapter 632 Northern Barbarian Invasion!
End of August.
It has been almost a month since the [Lucky Star Shines] golden finger was refreshed.
During this period, Zhou Qing's life was quite peaceful and comfortable. There were no chores to disturb him, which gave him an environment where he could practice with peace of mind.
I have to say that this may also be a manifestation of luck.
Zhou Qing didn't feel that staying on Kunlun Mountain to practice was a waste of [lucky stars].
After all, for Zhou Qing now, if there is nothing he has to do, then the benefits of practicing with peace of mind are indeed greater.
Peace and safety are also blessings.
Of course, in this coming month, [lucky stars will shine] are not completely absent.
In cultivation, it can be said that it is smooth and I have not encountered any risks or obstacles.
Occasionally, some benefits would fall on him, from Xuandu Temple, or from people he knew.
For example, when An Lang went out earlier, he brought back a very rare star material.
It is indeed a bit of luck.
On this day, Zhou Qing was taking care of some of the spiritual plants in Kunlun Mountain, but the true token suddenly reacted.
The spiritual power penetrated into it, and there was a message for people to go to the True Palace.
"I don't know what will happen this time..."
Zhou Qing thought to himself and left on the crane.
It is true that outside the palace, there are many people.
When Zhou Qing entered, he found that many people had already arrived, including Dugu.
It seems that this time is a little more important than the last time...
The last time we gathered at the True Legend Palace, the first three True Legends didn't show up.
It is worth mentioning that since Zhou Qing and his group, five of them passed the true qualification examination together, no new true disciple has appeared so far.
Promoting to the True Successor of Xuandu is never easy.
It seems that Zhou Qing and the others were very relaxed at first, but for some people, it is really a chasm that is difficult to cross.
The real people from all walks of life continued to arrive. In the end, except for a few seats, all the others were full.
Those masters who are in unmanned positions have already entered the world and gained experience, and are no longer in Xuandu Temple.
Qian Lao's figure suddenly appeared in front. His expression changed from his usual friendly smile and became more serious than ever before, and even the true disciples became solemn.
Seeing Qian Lao acting like this, they knew that the matter of gathering all the true disciples this time... was probably very big.
“Everyone.”
Qianlao said in a deep voice: “I’ve called you here this time to say only one thing.”
"The barbarians have invaded, crossed the border, and are invading the human territory."
"The war... broke out."
There was silence everywhere, and Zhou Qing's heart sank.
At the end of June, he heard the news about the barbarian movements during the battle for the true inheritance. Now two months have passed, and the war has not been avoided after all, and it has really broken out.
Although he was still in the Zhenzhuan Palace at this time, Zhou Qing seemed to have "seen" the blood-stained border and "saw" the lives being harvested like grass...
"Qianlao."
Dugu asked: "What is the reason for this barbarian invasion?"
Qianlao replied:
"For the devil, this is The mobilization slogan passed down by the barbarian leaders. "This battle is inevitable."
If a war breaks out for a certain person, or for some resource or treasure land, then it is possible to resolve it and calm it down if you work around it.
However, a war started to please the devil can only be fought until rivers of blood flow. The barbarians will not stop until they achieve their goals.
With the barbarian tribe looming, Zhou Qing specifically checked this month to find out the relevant information about the barbarian demon god that could be seen within his authority.
The demon god of unknown origin and unknown nature has protected the barbarians for generations. It can give the high priest the power of an immortal and can also give gifts to the high-ranking barbarians.
But this does not mean that the demon god worshiped by the barbarians is compassionate.
On the contrary, He is cruel and bloody.
This is a demon, not a Bodhisattva.
Besides, Bodhisattva also has desires, let alone this kind of demon. You can tell what he is from the sacrifices he needs.
The war started for the sake of the Demon God is something that the Barbarians themselves cannot refuse, not only because the high-level Barbarians need the Demon God's gift, but also because this is the Demon God's "will".
If the barbarian refuses, whether he doesn't get the gift or not, the devil will punish him, and he will also take the initiative to get the sacrifice.
The barbarians believe in the Demon God and even claim to be of the Demon God's bloodline, which shows that their relationship with the Demon God is profound.
When the Demon God takes the initiative to take sacrifices, who will become his target? Obviously, the first ones to suffer are the barbarian masters who are close to the Demon God.
It is impossible for him to come and take it from the human race that has nothing to do with it. If he really had this ability, the demon god would have ruled the world long ago.
Therefore, the war caused by the demon god is the most determined among the barbarians, the least likely to stop, and the most sudden type.
Not to mention foreign tribes, even the barbarians themselves don’t know when this type of war will break out.
For the human race, there is no retreat, and they must fight hard to stop the barbarian war.
Qian Lao then said: "When the human-barbarian war broke out, I, Xuandu, became the state religion of Da Qi and worshiped the people of Shouhan Prefecture. I should be a pioneer and guard the homeland."
"A Months ago, six true disciples and many inner and outer disciples rushed to the border, but this was not enough. Starting from today, our Xuandu Temple City will continue to send People rush to help the border until the end of the war."
"Of course, this matter is not the responsibility of the Xuandu family, and all the forces in Hanzhou will also do their part."
"If you want to go to the border to join the war, you can also sign up. In three days, a sect master will lead the team to set off."
"There is no need to make a decision in a hurry at this time. War is not a child's play. You go down and think about it carefully before making a decision."
Qianlao glanced around and said:
"This is a war, but it is not a critical moment for the survival of the human race and Xuanduguan, so there is no need to What are you worried about? Although the barbarians committed crimes, it is not a disaster. The barbarians on the grassland are destined to fail. "
"I want to sacrifice to their demon god and have his great spring and autumn dream. . ”
The barbarians have plans, and the human race will naturally not sit back and let themselves be sacrificed.
In the long struggle between humans and barbarians, through the research of generations of human ancestors, a method has been created to prevent human practitioners who died in the war from becoming sacrifices to the devil.
Of course, if the human race creates such a method, the barbarians will naturally try to crack it.
So the final outcome depends on both sides showing their special abilities in the war, and who is more skilled.
If the human race completely defends against the barbarians, then in this war, the barbarians' plans are destined to fail, and in the end more barbarians will only be able to use their lives to satisfy the needs of the demon god.
Even if the barbarians disintegrate the human race's counter-sacrifice arrangement, the dead barbarians still cannot escape the ending of becoming one with the demon god they believe in.
"Even if the barbarians come out in force, they can't do anything to the human race, let alone a war of this scale, so you don't have to put too much pressure on, and don't think about going all of them, but you can't escape either."
" It’s a responsibility for you to go, but it’s more about tempering and experience.”
This is also true.
The invasion of barbarians is indeed a big event, but the sky will not fall down. It really will not reach that point, and it is not a decisive battle between humans and barbarians.
You shouldn’t take it lightly, but you shouldn’t overreact either.
"For the disciples who go to the border front line, whether it is you or the disciples from the inner and outer sects, the sect will not hesitate to reward you. If you can get more credit, the sect will open up the exchange rights for some more precious treasures."
Qian Lao still has something to say, that is, as a person who comes back alive from the barbarian battlefield, if he wants to compete with others for benefits or opportunities in the future, his priority will be higher and his hidden status will be improved. .
Actually, there is no need for him to say this, everyone knows it in their hearts.
Of course, returning from the battlefield alive and deserting are definitely not counted.
Xuandu Temple has stood in Hanzhou for thousands of years. It has participated in countless human-barbarian wars and has its own mature and reasonable wartime rules system.
Disciples don’t need to understand it in detail, just know that the benefits are many and great.
"Okay, let's just talk about this matter today. You go down and think about it carefully."
Zhu Zhenzhuan left the Zhenzhuan Palace separately. After arriving outside, Murong Yanran and others approached Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing asked straight to the point: "Senior Sister Murong, what do you think after listening to Qian Lao's words?"
Shi Yi replied: "I plan to go there in three days. Border.”
Cao Yinyin echoed: "I think so too."
Murong Yanran smiled slightly, "I want to wait, this war will not end soon, as Qian Lao said, there will be more to come later We will continue to support the border.”
"Whether we want to go or not, we will see in the future."
Cao Yinyin said, "Senior sister has been to the border four times before and killed many barbarians who secretly entered Hanzhou territory." Zhou Qing nodded. , understand what Cao Yinyin means.
Every Xuandu true successor will usually go to the border once or several times from the day he becomes a true successor until he is promoted to the Yin Shen True Blood Realm.
Although this is not an explicit rule of Xuandu Temple, it is also a tacit understanding among the true disciples.
It seems that Murong Yanran chose to look at the future, certainly not because of fear of escaping.
As Qian Lao said, what they went to do was more to hone themselves, and the sect did not need all their true disciples to swarm to the border.
If too many true disciples go to the border after three days of registration, the senior officials of Xuanduguan will even actively reject the applications of a group of people and give priority to those true disciples who have never been to the border before to participate in the war.
One or two, what are they messing around with?
Otherwise, all the true legends of Xuandu will come out in full force, and those who don’t know will think that the border is in danger, and Xuandu Temple is already in danger to the point where no one will be spared...
Murong If Yanran also applied, the sect would definitely not agree. She knew that, so she said she would wait and see.
Although Shi Yi and Cao Yinyin expressed that they want to go, there is no telling whether they can go.
The support team that will be formed three days later will actually only have a few true disciples, and everything will be under the control of Xuanduguan.
In a battle between humans and barbarians, with the Qi frontier army and all the major forces from Hanzhou and nearby counties, it would be impossible for Xuandu Guan to attack in full force.
It is not necessary and cannot be done.
If Xuandu Guan comes out in full force, it will not end the war quickly. Instead, it will cause the barbarians to be stressed, and the masters will also come together.
At that time, the scale of the war will be expanded.
Cao Yinyin asked Zhou Qing, "Brother, what do you think?"
Zhou Qing thought for a while and replied: "Of course I also want to contribute to the human race, but it also depends on the sect's intentions."
Murong Yanran said: "The one who went to the border last time Among those six junior brothers and sisters, there is no top ten true biography. Three days later, To support, the sect should consider sending one of the top ten true disciples to set an example for the disciples. "
This is a very reasonable guess and plan. In a war, it is impossible for none of the top ten true disciples to show up. But not all of them will show up at the beginning of the war.
“Since Junior Brother has just become one of the top ten true disciples, or has just become a true disciple not long ago, and has no border experience, the chance that the sect will send you there is actually slim.”
“Three days later, Junior Brother Feng or Junior Sister Zhuge are most likely to set off with the team.”
Feng Wuji is the tenth true biography, and that junior sister Zhuge is the eighth true biography before Zhou Qing, her full name is Zhuge Yingyue.
Looking at this surname, you can tell the origin of the eighth true successor. Like Zhuge Tongda, the deputy observer, he comes from the Zhuge family, one of the twelve second-generation ancestors.
Zhou Qing heard that Zhuge Yingyue seemed to be a direct descendant of the deputy temple master.
“It all depends on the sect’s intention.”
Zhou Qing had no choice. After all, he had spent too much time to become a true disciple, and it was normal for the sect to consider this.
This is actually for his consideration.
After talking a few more words about the border, everyone left.
On the way back, Zhou Qing thought about the border war.
He had no objections to going to the border to join the war and was willing to go.
Now Zhou Qing has already practiced all the things he should practice, and the rest is just hard work. He just needs to spend a certain amount of time every day to complete it.
Things like martial arts training and soul cultivation can be carried out as usual even at the border, so going to war will not affect his cultivation progress too much.
Going to the border as the Ninth True Successor, Zhou Qing must have a high degree of freedom.
He is not going to be a top soldier, he will be centrally managed.
It is indeed a good choice to meditate for many days and then go to the battlefield for proper training.
Only by combining static and dynamic movements can you make faster progress. Each battle can bring out your own accumulation and foundation of long-term hard work.
Blood and fire are catalysts and firewood, which can directly ignite your accumulation and make it shine brightly.
And with martial arts such as the Immortal Sword Sutra, one can definitely progress faster on the battlefield.
This kind of killing martial arts is the most difficult to practice while practicing quietly in the mountains. The slowest to practice is that you still have to kill.
What place is more suitable than the battlefield of human barbarians?
Xuandu Guanhui sent its disciples to the battlefield, saying it was for support, but in fact it was not impossible without the Xuandu disciples.
The war is vast, and it depends on the masters on both sides, and also on the armies of both sides. Compared with the Qi border army and the barbarian army, there are too few Xuandu disciples.
For disciples to go to the battlefield, the intention of training is always the most important, including other forces.
Those who stand out in the battle on the battlefield can be said to be completely transformed. Ordinary people will become extraordinary and can soar into the sky.
The talents born in such a place are often more valuable and have a brighter future, and every force attaches great importance to them.
If Zhou Qing goes to the border battlefield and comes back alive with excellent performance, he will definitely make great progress. That kind of progress will be greater than staying in Kunlun Mountain and practicing hard.
Although fighting is risky, it is indeed one of the fastest ways to make progress.
Even for civilization, war is an accelerator of civilization.
Both accelerates development and accelerates destruction.
It’s just that if you take risks too many times, it’s easy to die. But this problem does not exist here in Zhou Qing, because he rarely takes risks, and he will be fully prepared when he does. .
"It's a pity. The auspicious star will be refreshed. If I go to the battlefield, I won't be able to enjoy the blessing of the auspicious star..."
Zhou Qing felt a pity secretly in his heart. If [lucky star shines brightly] can last until the battlefield, then he will be "invincible".
If you want to survive in a place like the battlefield, sometimes luck is more important than strength.
If the war breaks out in early August and Zhou Qing rushes to the battlefield again, then with the help of [lucky stars shining high], he may not encounter any danger this month and can turn danger into good fortune.
However, two days later, the golden finger will be refreshed. The day when Xuandu’s team set out for the border battlefield was the first day that the golden finger was refreshed.
It's a pity, it's really a pity. Only when you lose it can you understand how to cherish it.
But it's hard to say whether he can go to the border battlefield.
While thinking, Zhou Qing went directly to Shuiyue Peak, met with the master of Shuiyue Peak, and talked about what happened today.
"Barbarian invasion..."
The Lord of Shuiyue Peak looked at Zhou Qing and asked:
"Do you want to go?"
"Yes." Zhou Qing nodded, "I have been practicing in Kunlun Mountain for a long time. I can make faster progress by going to the battlefield to practice."
"Your idea is correct."
Master Shuiyue Peak expressed his approval, "But whether or not you agree to go depends on the sect's intention."
She has no objection. If a jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool. She understands this truth very well. .
"The team will definitely be led by experts from the Biluo Tongtian realm in three days. I just broke through, and the sect will definitely not let me go..."
What she needs to do most now is to upgrade her various methods to the Biluo realm.
The natal artifact, Taoist training... and other aspects need to be further improved and perfected. There is no way Xuandu Guan will let Master Shuiyue Peak participate in the battle.
Relatively speaking, Lord Shuiyue Peak is now in his own period of weakness.
The Lord of Shuiyue Peak pondered, "I will go find out who is leading the team to the battlefield later."
This means wanting to have a relationship.
"Please master."
Zhou Qing said: "Then I will go to Qian Lao to sign up."
Now that Lu Qingmo is in retreat and Luo Liuli and the others are not here, his main object of discussion is Shui Lord Yue Peak, this is basic courtesy when facing elders.
If she didn't object, Zhou Qing would naturally have no scruples.
“Well, go ahead.”
Zhou Qing returned to Zhenzhuan Palace again. When he saw him coming back, Qian Lao smiled and took the initiative to ask:
"What, you want to go to the border?"
"This disciple does have this intention."
Zhou Qing nodded, "So come and sign up with Qian Lao."
"You have just become a true disciple. In fact, there is no need to rush. Even if it is your turn, it will not be your turn. .”
"Although it didn't take long, I have already completed all the things I should practice."
Zhou Qing said: "If I practice in another way, I may have better results and get more results. Progress."
Qianlao laughed dumbly, "I almost forgot that you are different from ordinary people. A few months is not enough for others, but it is more than enough for you."
Zhou Qing used to do it. The performance is really convincing.
When some words come out of his mouth, they are taken for granted and will not make people think that he is bragging at all.
