Chapter 1921 Cultivation
After listening to Nan Youyue's words and looking at the terrain map in the hall, all the officers and soldiers looked solemn.
"This 'Netherworld Valley' is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. The terrain in the valley is low, and the Black Mountain Region cannot fly. Once inside, the spiritual sense can only detect a distance of several hundred feet. At that time, they only need to be in When magic powers are used outside the valley, we have no time to react, and we can only be moving targets."
Wang Chonghua is a veteran on the battlefield, and he revealed the key with just one sentence.
Tang Qianzhi also said: "Although our army won the battle at Huluguan, because the 'Three Immortals Formation' was too powerful, many men were lost. In addition, a large number of monks were injured, and their morale was not as good. It was high before.”
"That's right." Zhao Yi also nodded and said: "Although there are not many monks killed, there are many injured. These people are distributed among the armies, and I am afraid it will affect the commander's formation."
"What should we do?" Tianxie Demon Lord raised his eyebrows: "It takes time to recuperate from injuries. If it is fast, it will take ten days and a half. If it is slow, it will take months or even years. Our army cannot wait that long."
"It seems that the situation is serious."
Liang Yan took a deep breath, his face a little gloomy.
At this moment, Nan Youyue suddenly said: "According to the information we obtained during the interrogation, there is a 'countercurrent spring' not far from Huluguan. The spring water flows backward from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, passing through many caves. As long as you bathe and meditate in any cave, you can speed up the recovery of your injuries.”
"Oh? Is there such a strange place?"
Liang Yan was a little surprised. After a change of thought, he looked at the woman in green not far away.
This woman is one of the five elders sent by the Zerg Control Clan and is also the envoy of the Holy Palace, Su Xiaoqian.
"This area is where you control the Zerg tribe. You should be familiar with the 'Countercurrent Spring', right? Is it really such a magical power?" Liang Yan asked.
Su Xiaoqian smiled slightly: "It is true. The 'Counter Current Spring' contains strange energy, which can speed up the repair of injuries. This place was originally under the control of our Zerg tribe, but since Beiming invaded in large numbers, and in After Huluguan was built here, the 'Countercurrent Spring' became a resource for Zhou Tong and others."
After listening to Su Xiaoqian's answer, Liang Yan felt a little more convinced.
He pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Since Elder Su also said so, let me, Nanxuan soldiers, rest here for a day. Pass my command, the army will be stationed at Huluguan, and all the wounded will be divided into batches. Go to the 'Reverse Current Spring', nurse your injuries, and prepare for the next battle!"
"Yes!"
Everyone took the order and slowly exited the hall.
Only Wang Chonghua and Nan Youyue did not leave and stayed in the main hall with Liang Yan.
After everyone left, Wang Chonghua said in a deep voice: "Liang Shuai, although the 'Counterflow Spring' can solve the problem of the wounded, the terrain is extremely unfavorable to us in the battle of Netherworld Valley, and I am afraid we will lose our troops. If we lose too many men, Attack the sky from behind It will be difficult to form a large formation when we are in Mucheng.”
“Of course I know this. Does General Wang have any countermeasures?” The Death Troopers took the lead in charging to attract the enemy's attention. , and the large army used formations to quietly cross the Netherworld Valley. As long as we get out of the fog, our army is not afraid of the Beiming monks' attack."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's expression was noncommittal. He said calmly: "What General Wang said is indeed true. method, but in this case, all the monks in the Death Soldier Army will undoubtedly die."
Wang Chonghua said with determination: "In the face of a war, sacrifice is inevitable. Wang is willing to serve as the Death Soldier Captain and take the lead!" br>
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Youyue said: "General Wang is not afraid of hardships, but most of the monks in the army are unwilling to serve as cannon fodder. This approach is too cruel and I don't agree with it."
"But other than this, there is no other way!" Wang Chonghua said helplessly.
Nan Youyue pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The terrain of Netherworld Valley is special. There is fog in the valley, so the spiritual consciousness cannot spread too far, but the monks outside the valley can't see our exact position clearly either. Maybe You can use the music method of Yuzhu Mountain to disrupt the enemy and take the opportunity to pass through the Netherworld Valley."
"This. It's a way. But it's not safe, because we don't know anything about the strength of the Tianmu City defenders. If they have monks who can restrain the music, it will probably be a bloody battle. "
Next, Wang Chonghua and Nan Youyue discussed several methods in the main hall, but none of them could perfectly solve the problem at hand.
Liang Yan listened quietly to the discussion between the two people, without saying a word from beginning to end, and finally said: "Okay, I roughly understand the thoughts of the two fellow Taoists. It is not appropriate to rush into this matter. I know that Po'san Both of them were slightly injured during the Immortal Formation. , Let’s go to the Countercurrent Spring to rest for a day, and let’s worry about it tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Wang Chonghua also knew that it was difficult to solve the problem in a hurry, so he said goodbye. He turned around and left the hall.
In the end, Nan Youyue was the only one left beside Liang Yan and was not in a hurry to leave.
Her face looked a little strange, and she seemed to hesitate to speak.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan couldn't help but feel doubtful, and asked: "Do you have anything else to report, Fellow Daoist Nan? Could it be... the Demon Lord Tianxie?"
Nan Youyue shook her head: "You are not here. During this period, there was nothing unusual about Tian Xie Demon Lord.”
< br>"Well, is that something else?"
Nan Youyue bit her lip, and after a long while she said softly: "The Zerg Controlling Group, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
"No, didn't I come back smoothly?" Liang Yan smiled.
"But."
Nan Youyue raised her head and glanced at him, then quickly lowered her head and said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "I heard from Hongyun that during this period, you were summoned alone by the 'Holy Master Empress' of the Zerg tribe. For two full hours, she...she didn't do anything to you, right?"
The voice of this sentence was very soft, and it was almost inaudible in the end.
Liang Yan was slightly stunned, then smiled casually and said, "What are you thinking? The Holy Lord of the Insect Control Tribe and I are talking about serious matters. Otherwise, how could she send troops to assist me, and how could we break through the gourd?" Off?”
Nan Youyue’s face turned crimson.
"I didn't mean that."
She lowered her head, glanced at the corner of the palace, and pinched her belt with her fingertips, which were slightly white from the exertion.
"I just want to ask, the 'Holy Master' who controls the Zerg tribe. Is she beautiful?"
"Beautiful."
"Huh?"< br>
Nan Youyue raised her head in surprise and looked at Liang Yan. Their eyes met.
It was clearly in front of her, but she could feel that Liang Yan's mind was not on her, but on a certain memory.
This was the first time she saw tenderness in Liang Yan's eyes.
It was a touch of tenderness like spring water, which had never appeared in Liang Yan's eyes before
At this moment, Nan Youyue stood there blankly, seeming to understand a lot, and seemed to understand a lot. There was more confusion, and he just stayed there in a daze, without saying a word.
"It's getting late. You're injured. You'd better go to the Countercurrent Spring to recuperate as soon as possible. The next battle will probably be very difficult."
Liang Yan's solemn voice woke Nan Youyue up.
Her eyes gradually focused and stayed on Liang Yan's face for a moment, then she whispered: "Yes." After saying that, she turned and left the palace.
Liang Yan watched the female Pingting's back gradually go away, and sighed softly in his heart, but did not say anything more, and turned to look at the person next to him. Netherworld Valley topographic map
Nanxuan's army occupied Huluguan and was one step closer to Beiming's territory. Now it was only the last pass of Tianmu City. From then on, there was a vast plain, and there was no more danger.
It was night. Except for the soldiers on duty in the city, all the other monks went to the "Counterflow Spring" about eighty miles outside the city.
This spring is extremely strange. The spring is located in a cold pool underground. After the spring water emerges, it not only does not disperse, but instead flows upward, gradually turning into a backward waterfall, pouring into every cave on the mountain. These caves have become natural healing places.
Even if there is no injury on the body, one can quickly recover spiritual power in the spring water and adjust one's own condition to the best.
Therefore, most of Nanxuan's one hundred thousand soldiers had been soaked in the "Countercurrent Spring", and even Liang Yan was no exception.
He was one of the last to enter Countercurrent Spring.
It was already midnight, the stars were soft and the moon was like water.
Liang Yan found a remote cave and set up a layer of restrictions outside the cave. Then he took off his clothes, sat cross-legged in the spring water, made secrets with his hands, and began to absorb the medicinal power in the spring water.
“There is indeed something mysterious!”
Feeling the special energy contained in the spring water, Liang Yan nodded slightly.
The Black Mountain Territory is indeed a mysterious place, and it often surprises him. Take this "Counterflow Spring" for example. If it hadn't been during the Civil War, he would have really wanted to take the time to explore and see what was hidden in the spring. What a secret.
But now is not the time to study this matter. Not to mention delaying time, it may also attract the hatred of the eight major gods.
Liang Yan sighed secretly in his heart and looked up at the full moon outside the entrance of the cave. He saw that the moonlight tonight was bright and bright, and the clear silver light fell near the entrance of the cave, seeming to smooth out all the noise.
His body was soaked in the spring water, and his mind gradually relaxed. His eyes were slightly closed, enjoying the moment of tranquility before the battle
I don’t know how long it passed like this, and Liang fell into meditation. Yan suddenly frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
There was a trace of helplessness on his face, and he sighed and said: "How long are you going to stay up there?"
There was no beginning or end to the sentence, but someone gave a response:
"Of course I will wait until I get tired of watching it, but I never seem to get tired of watching it."
The lazy voice has a hint of playfulness, like the sound of nature.
Liang Yan smiled, looked up, and saw a three-foot-square hole that had been cut out of the dark stone wall at some point, like a skylight, with a woman lying in the window.
This woman is wearing coarse linen clothes, has an ordinary appearance, and has spots on her face. She looks like a secular village girl.
But it was Liu Qing, one of the five elders sent by the Zerg Control Tribe to support him!
However, Liu Qingqiao was smiling brightly at this moment, completely different from the taciturn person during the day.
Her eyes wandered over Liang Yan, with a smile on her lips and eyes as bright as stars. Although she had an ordinary appearance, she had an indescribable charm.
"Isn't it unethical for the Holy Lord who controls the Zerg tribe to come and watch others bathing in the middle of the night?" Liang Yan said with a half-smile but not a smile.
"I can't help it. Who told you that you are a rare commodity? If I don't keep a closer watch, I'm afraid I will be seduced by the little prodigal hooves of the human race."
"Liu Qing" said, holding up his hand, It fell from the hole and slipped into the pool silently without any splashing.
She put her face close to Liang Yan, her slightly rising chest pressed against the other person's arm, her eyes as charming as silk.
"Tell me, are you going to tell me the truth, or am I here to 'interrogate' you?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan looked a little weird and asked, "I want to know what it is first. Interrogation? ”
"What do you think?"
Liu Qing exhaled like blue, and drew several circles on Liang Yan's chest with her right index finger.
Her fingers were slender, white and tender, incompatible with her own appearance. They only stayed on her chest for a moment, and then traced down along her belly
"Humph!"
< br>"hiss"
Liang Yan took a breath of cold air.
But soon, he felt a tenderness.
How do you say something? Holding the sun and the moon in hand, the universe is determined
“Aren’t you honest?” Liu Qing smiled.
"Change back first and then talk." Liang Yan refused to give in.
"Forget it, I'm afraid you don't dare to play any tricks!"
Liu Qing smiled slightly, a layer of purple starlight flashed around her body, and her body shape and appearance changed instantly.
In just the blink of an eye, a tall and enchanting woman appeared in front of Liang Yan.
This girl's eyes are full of spring water, clear waves are flowing, her skin is like gelatin, her red lips are like clouds of fire, her hair is in a bun with a jade dragon and phoenix hairpin inserted sideways, some green hair is hanging down, the ends are soaked by the spring water, not only It doesn't look messy, but adds a bit of charm.
Liang Yan looked at the woman in front of him, and his consciousness was in a trance for a moment.
If I could use a poem to describe it, it would probably be: "As graceful as a startled dragon, as enchanting as a lotus fairy."
"Wuxin." Liang Yan murmured.
It turns out that the so-called insect-control elder "Liu Qing" is their "Holy Master Empress", and she is also a demon woman, Wu Xin!
At this moment, her purple dress has been soaked by the spring water, her snow-white skin is looming, her eyes are starry, but her mouth is half-smiling
Wow!
The spring water is splashing!
Liang Yan turned around suddenly, hugged Wu Xin, his lips were close to each other, and his hands were wandering around wantonly.
“Hmm”
Wuxin just let out a muffled groan, followed by an enthusiastic response.
The two embraced each other and asked for each other, both of them seemed to want to make up for what they had done that day
I don't know how long it took, until the moonlight above my head gradually dimmed, a ray of sunlight shone at the entrance of the cave, and the sound of water in the cave gradually subsided.
In the dim cave, Wuxin lay in Liang Yan's arms.
I don’t know where the dragon and phoenix jade hairpin was thrown away. Three thousand green hairs were spread out, covering the flushed cheeks, making it look a bit messy.
"So, what is your relationship with that little prodigal named 'Nan Youyue'? I saw it today. You two men and two women were alone in the same room. Do you think I don't exist?" Wu Xin Panting slightly, he rubbed his face against Liang Yan's chest and murmured in his voice, as if he was talking in his sleep.
“This is a long story”
Liang Yan smiled slightly and stroked Wu Xin's smooth shoulders with his hands.
