Chapter 723: Side-door cultivation and the true teachings of the Xuanmen

Tonight Xiaoyu did not turn into the “Flying Feather Fairy” and make trouble everywhere.

First, there is nothing to worry about.

Tonight, the Donghu immortal masters were all very well behaved. Some were guarding Kebineng in the king’s tent, while others were gathering together to meditate and relax.

Well, they don’t live in a separate tent anymore.

In fact, last night, except for the newly arrived Taoist Master Longyang, the other immortal masters were also in groups of at least two.

For example, Master Xueling and the Dragon Elephant Buddha.

The one to be on guard against is the Feiyu Fairy who “doesn’t have the face of a fairy”.

They were even crazier tonight, with seven or eight immortal generals and strange men gathered together.

Xiaoyu was also invited by Master Xueling. She didn’t want to seem different, so she didn’t refuse.

Besides being unable to do anything, Xiaoyu found that there was no need to do anything.

If the Zuoguli King’s troops were still there, the Qin army and the Hu people alliance could still maintain a balance of power.

Now that King Zuoguli’s army has been completely wiped out, the Qin army has an absolute advantage in both high-end forces and overall military strength.

In the battle during the day today, Li Xin, with his “farmer soldiers”, was able to defeat the elite cavalry of the Donghu. What else is she doing?
In Chang Qing San Ren’s words, she has already performed outstandingly by doing her spy mission well.

Without her efforts, the Donghu people would not have had a peaceful night.

The first half of the night was fine, but in the second half, when the stoker and the groom got up to make fire, cook, and feed the cattle and horses, the accident happened as expected.

“What? A large number of horses in the Southeast Camp have fallen ill, and some soldiers have fainted?”

Halfway through the fourth watch, Ke Bineng was stunned by the bad news brought by the messenger. “Is it the Fairy Feiyu? Where is the witch doctor in the army? Why don’t they check the water source and food?”

The captain of the Southeast Camp, who came with the messenger, reported: “The witch doctor checked the well water and horse grass as usual before we started feeding the horses.

At the beginning, everything was fine and no problems occurred to people, cattle and horses.

But after eating the hay, they opened the door to the stable and a cold wind blew in. Even the strong and sturdy horses shivered in the wind and then fell down. “

Ke Bineng seemed to have thought of something, his face changed several times, and he said in a hoarse voice: “Go and invite Master Yuwen and Master Longyang quickly. If they are awake, ask them to come over.”

Last night it was Yuwen Bo and Venerable Huang Feng who were guarding him, but tonight it was Fire Wing Immortal and Donghu Ten Thousand Cavalry Commander Yesen who took over.

If Ke Bineng is still alive by tomorrow night, it will be the turn of Longyang Daojun to play the role of “immortal master” and partner with another Donghu cavalry commander.

“Oops! This is my blood-sperm plague.”

After listening to the messenger’s description of the symptoms of the warhorse plague, Yuwen Bo’s face immediately changed, “After the blood-sperm plague is weathered, it will merge with the blood and essence of living things.

Only when you encounter the warm wind from the world of the living again will the effect be exerted quickly.

Therefore, the Qin army’s medical officers were unable to determine that the well water was poisoned by checking the food and water sources.

Xiao Yu shouted, “Did you get water from the well? Hey, didn’t the Great Chanyu order us to dig snow from the surrounding area to boil water last night? Where is your camp? How far is the well from Daiyi City?”

“Our southeast camp is about ten miles away from Daiyi City! Although we received the order from the Great Chanyu last night, the cattle and horses drink too much water.

Moreover, the trees on the surrounding mountains had already been cut down by us.

There is no wood to make a fire for heating, so we can only use horse manure and cow manure, how can we boil snow water to feed livestock?” said the captain.

Modern people have always had a misunderstanding: the living environment of ancient people must be better than that of modern people, with green mountains and clear waters, shady trees, no pollution, and everywhere is a natural oxygen bar.

The truth is, in ancient times there was no natural gas or coal, and people could only burn wood and charcoal, and the air quality and urban environment were not as good as they are today.

It is difficult to find a small tree as thick as a wrist around big cities.

Unless it is a privately owned mountain, mountain rangers are assigned to prohibit the felling of trees.

For example, Cuiping Hill outside Tianmen Town.

Otherwise, the trees on the mountain would have been cut down by city dwellers and taken home for firewood.

There was already a large Qin army gathered in Daiyi City, and outside the city came 300,000 Xiongnu cavalry. The low hillsides within a radius of 50 miles had already been plucked bare.

Bald, cleaner than a monk’s head.

Ke Bineng looked at Xiao Yu suspiciously and asked, “The Southeast Camp is about ten miles away from Daiyi City. How come the plague has spread to our side in just one night?”

Xiaoyu looked at Venerable Huangfeng.

Of course she was up to something.

Not only did she scrape some powder from the plague pill and give it to Changqing Sanren, asking him to take it to the Shenzhou Immortal for “testing”, she also used her ancient dragon magical powers to help dredge the underground waterways in Daiyi City, ensuring that the water wells in Daiyi City and the water wells outside the city were connected by an underground river.

This is relatively simple because there are no large rivers around Daiyi City and the underground rivers are relatively simple.

Originally they were connected, Xiaoyu just made the narrow passage wider and made the slow underground river rush.

Then, let the groundwater of Daiyi City flow northward, carrying poisonous water into the Donghu camp.

This is a bit difficult.

Xiaoyu dug another underground spring in the south of Daiyi City.

Using the ancient dragon’s magical power of “Water Veins and Origin”, he slapped the ground with a palm and immediately created a lake or the source of a river.

If she were allowed to use this magical power freely, it would be a spectacular sight, with the earth collapsing, springs gushing out, and underground rivers within a radius of hundreds of miles changing their direction. There was no need to go through all that at this moment, so she only adjusted the direction of the underground river between Donghu and Daiyi City.

There is almost no impact on the livelihood of the local people in Daiyi City.

The only people seriously affected were the Donghu people.

Almost all the poisonous water flowed into the Donghu camp.

Of course, this is the Qin people’s territory. If the poison cannot be detoxified, Xiaoyu will not let Venerable Huangfeng poison.

After she finished adjusting the underground river in Daiyi City, the Shenzhou Immortal had finished checking the plague pill.

“Go ahead and poison it! This plague is really powerful. If we allow it to spread in the city, many people will die. It will be difficult to completely eradicate it, and it may affect more than a dozen surrounding cities.

Now that you have discovered it in advance, the plague poison has not been consumed, and the transformation has not been completed with the help of the essence and blood of living people.

True Man Qingyang has analyzed the composition of the plague and has started to prepare antidote pills. Soak the antidote pills in water and the plague will be eliminated immediately, turning the poisonous water into good water.

The blood and essence that were dissolved could even provide some benefit to the people.

Even if the Donghu people outside the city were struck by plague, they would not be afraid.

If our troops drink the water soaked with the detoxifying pills in advance, they will not be infected.”

Xiao Yu was speechless and shocked. “In less than half an hour, Master Qingyang not only analyzed the composition of the plague, but also thought of an antidote. Could it be that Master Qingyang is also a ‘Poison King’?”

“What Poison King? Immortal Qingyang doesn’t understand plague at all. He performed a ritual and asked the God of Plague in Heaven to possess him, and asked a ‘Plague Messenger’ to develop an antidote pill.” Changqing Sanren said.

“Please ask the great god of the plague department.” Xiao Yu didn’t know what to say.

In order to refine eight plague pills, the “civilian scientist” Yuwen Bo participated in the massacre of millions of people. He did all kinds of evil things and was contaminated with endless cause and effect and karma.

As a result, the immortal from Shenzhou on the other side cheated and went directly to the “Academy of Sciences” to ask experts for the answer. It took no more than half an hour, and the manpower and material resources consumed were just a ritual to invite the gods to possess their bodies.
It is too normal and too reasonable that the plague pill of the unorthodox immortal Yuwen Bo was cracked by the plague messenger of the Plague Department of Heaven.

It is totally his job for Qingyang Zhenren to ask the immortals to help him, to pray to the gods to descend, and to ask the gods to possess him. It is normal and reasonable.

But the whole process, and even the final result… Xiaoyu didn’t know whether this result was fair, but she felt a little aggrieved for Yuwen Bo.

Although Xiaoyu was secretly doing something wrong, he did not interfere with the process of releasing the plague pill.

In fact, she was not the one who released the plague pill at all.

Being stared at by Xiao Yu with doubtful eyes, Venerable Huang Feng twitched his face a little unnaturally and said, “Great Chanyu, I personally used Qingfeng to dissolve the plague pill and did put it into the well water of Daiyi City.

Eight plague pills, not one less.

But when I come back, I will report to you that our camp is too close to Daiyi City, and the underground waterway is very simple.”

Ke Bineng was stunned for a moment, then realized that the person who poisoned him was Venerable Huangfeng, and Taoist Longyang only used the Water Avoidance Technique and Invisibility Spell.

He withdrew his suspicious gaze from Longyang Daojun and turned to Yuwen Bo, expectantly asking, “The Imperial Master’s plague pill should be ready with an antidote, right?”

Yuwen Bo was a little embarrassed and hesitant. “I can prepare the antidote right now. It will only take a little time, but the plague must not continue to spread to the surrounding camps.

My antidote may be able to cure the plague, but it takes time for the medicine to take effect. I need to rest for seven or eight days before the plague can be completely eliminated.

Secondly, after being struck by the plague, his body became weak and his brain became dizzy, and he would be unable to fight on the battlefield for the Great Chanyu for several days.

We cannot allow the plague to spread in the military camp, otherwise it will definitely delay the Great Chanyu’s evacuation plan!”

Maybe, possibly?
Xiaoyu really wanted to complain: This is the plague pill you made yourself!

Ke Bineng’s expression changed several times, and he said in a deep voice: “Master Xue Ling, can we now respectfully welcome the Snow Mountain Patriarch to come?”

Master Xueling glanced at the sky.

In winter, the sun rises late. It is not even five o’clock yet, and the night sky is as dark as the bottom of a pot.

“We must wait for the sun to rise.” said Master Xueling.

Xiao Yu comforted him, “Don’t worry, Great Chanyu. The well water in the southeast camp has been contaminated by the plague, which is indeed a bad thing.

But if you look at this bad thing from another perspective, it can also be a great blessing!”

“Where does the joy come from?” Ke Bineng asked.

“Even the horses in our camp have been infected with the plague. What do you think the situation is in Daiyi City now?” Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Kebi Neng’s eyes lit up, “Master Yuwen’s plague pill is so powerful! The plague water passed through the underground river to our military camp, and it should have become very thin, but the Khan Blood Horse was paralyzed by a gust of wind.

Isn’t it possible that the entire city of Daiyi across the street will be in complete silence?”

“Report~~~”

Before he finished speaking, another scout hurried to the king’s tent and said, “Great Chanyu, something happened in Daiyi City!
At four o’clock in the morning, a group of Qin soldiers pushed carts out of the city to shovel snow and transport it into the city.

At the same time, gongs resounded throughout the streets and alleys, and I could hear them even outside the city.

It was like a horse galloping down the street, shouting something like ‘The well water is poisonous, don’t drink it’.”

Ke Bineng was surprised and delighted. “Sure enough, Daiyi City was also hit by the plague! But they reacted too quickly. They went out of the city to shovel snow at four o’clock in the morning.”

He glanced around and asked, “When do we start digging snow and boiling water here?”

Yuwen Bo said: “The Great Chanyu sent the news last night. He started digging snow this morning after making a fire to cook.”

“Oops, we ignored Fairy Feiyu before! She must have noticed the unusual actions of our army and became alert.

Damn you, you lowly maidservant! You are a fairy, but you have been lurking in our army as a spy. How shameless and despicable!”

Ke Bineng suddenly realized and cursed.

——You’d better pray devoutly that you will be beaten to death by Meng Yi on the battlefield today, otherwise it will be my turn to take your place on duty at night, and I will let you see what true shamelessness is!
Xiaoyu was also cursing him in her heart, with the same ugly and annoyed expression on her face.

Yuwen Bo looked calm and said calmly, “So what if we find out in time? Some people have already contracted the plague, and it will soon spread throughout the city.

We have the antidote, how long will it take them to make it?”

Ke Bineng nodded slowly, “In any case, the situation in Daiyi City must be worse than ours.”

He looked at Master Xueling again, “It’s still some time before daybreak. What preparations should we make to entertain the Snow Mountain Ancestor?”

Master Xueling said: “Everything in the army should be kept simple. All you need to do is pour water, burn incense, lay yellow earth on the road, and build a large reed tent. That will be enough.”

Ke Bineng said, “Why build a reed tent? The Snow Mountain Patriarch is the elder, so just invite him into the king’s tent and ask him to take a seat!”

Master Xueling shook his head and said, “We must build a reed tent, and we must use golden-sun-dried reeds and wormwood to build the tent and weave mats and cushions.

When meeting with the ancestor, you can only enter the reed tent, not the king’s tent.”

Ke Bineng wondered, “Is this the old ancestor’s special preference, or is it a custom of Changbai Mountain?”

Master Xueling glanced at him and said, “Hasn’t the Great Chanyu ever read The Investiture of the Gods?
When a saint comes to earth, he also enters a reed tent and sits on a reed mat. Welcoming guests in a reed tent is the etiquette of a saint. “

“Oh, that’s what it is.” Ke Bineng suddenly realized, and immediately ordered people to build a reed tent.
