If you don’t give up, I’d like to be your adoptive father.
Chapter 726: Battle of the Generals
Chapter 726: Battle of the Generals
When the Snow Mountain Patriarch flew to Juyongguan, everyone on the city gate, including Xiaoyu, seemed to see “a god descending to earth.”
The purple-gold helmet was inlaid with beautiful gems that sparkled brightly in the sun, and there were two phoenix wings on the top of the head.
It seems to be even more majestic than Monkey King’s Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown because these are two real phoenix divine feathers.
It stirred up colorful lights in the air, which seemed to help the Snow Mountain Ancestor escape faster.
The golden chain mail shines brightly, like a little sun.
The big red gorilla’s cloak was three meters long and fluttered in the wind like a red cloud.
And in his hand he held a three-pointed, double-edged spear.
“Senior, you are so majestic. I feel that even Erlang Zhenjun of Guanjiangkou would feel ashamed in front of you.” Xiao Yu’s words were at least 60% sincere.
At least this outfit is really impressive.
This made her faith in the Tao waver: Was she wrong to insist on following a simple and virtuous style of true cultivation?
The gold and silver ornaments, silks and satins of mortals, piled together, are indeed vulgar, like a nouveau riche, very low.
But if you use rare and precious products, even if you go for the ultimate luxurious style, even if the color saturation is maximized, it can still look extraordinary, and show your class and majesty.
——Or, should she also prepare a set of “God Armor”, just like the Snow Mountain Ancestor, and keep it away on weekdays, and wear it to show off when encountering a scene of facing the enemy in battle?
“Hahaha, to be honest, this old man’s outfit came from the North Sea Dragon Palace, and it cost him quite a bit.
It is the real Dragon Palace treasure
It is not necessarily worse than the divine battle suit of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun. ” Snow Mountain Patriarch laughed proudly.
He could see that the envy on the old demon Long Yang’s face was completely genuine.
His own pride and laughter came completely from the heart.
If he couldn’t attract admiration and envy, wouldn’t it be a waste of time for him to wear this gorgeous Dragon Palace armor?
“It’s actually a treasure from the Dragon Palace. I can tell from the first glance that this is not something that a human craftsman could have made.”
Xiao Yu asked curiously, “Is the North Sea Dragon Palace open for business and even sells treasures like these?”
Snow Mountain Patriarch looked even more proud, “As the saying goes, don’t say that the Dragon King has no treasures.
Dragon Palace is the richest place in the world. Does it need to open its doors to do business?
This was the birthday present that Ao Hong, the eighth prince of Beihai, gave me on my 16,000th birthday.
As for the price, hey, it’s not gold or silver or anything like that.”
“The senior has actually lived for 16,000 years and is also on good terms with the prince of the North Sea Dragon Palace.”
Xiaoyu looked at him with more envy and became more respectful towards him.
Although the Snow Mountain Patriarch enjoyed the envy and respect of the old demon very much, he did not continue to pretend.
After all, he put on the Dragon Palace armor to go into battle and kill the enemy.
At this time, the snow on the northwest road had been cleared.
Starting from early this morning, the vanguard of the Meng family army took shovels and shoveled the snow on the road to both sides of the road.
During the previous forced march, the Meng family army formed a military formation. Although affected by the accumulated snow, they did not shovel snow as they marched.
We were shoveling snow early this morning because we have arrived at Juyong Pass, where the great battle will take place. Shoveling the snow away will make it easier for the war horses to charge.
“Everyone in the army, follow me out of the pass!”
The Snow Mountain Patriarch raised his three-pointed, double-edged spear and shouted, then jumped off the city gate and walked forward on the ground with his feet.
Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but still took a horse and trotted to his side.
The five thousand elite Donghu cavalry did not completely leave Juyong Pass.
They were brought to a high slope by the Snow Mountain Ancestor. There was an open area in front, suitable for a battle between the two armies.
Under Xiao Yu’s doubtful gaze, the Snow Mountain Patriarch ran back and forth in the army, shouting loudly, and in just two quarters of an hour, he arranged the five thousand elite cavalry into a “four-gate defense formation”.
The formation also immediately connected the evil spirit underground with the four kinds of heaven and earth vital energy of “earth, water, wind and fire” in the sky.
Although the Snow Mountain Patriarch also took out twelve formation flags and handed them over to the Qi-refining practitioners who came with the army, this group of Donghu cavalry had never practiced formations before.
In just two quarters of an hour, and even during the study before the battle, the formation was successfully arranged.
——Did this old guy ever serve as a general in the human world?
Xiao Yu had doubts in his mind, so he asked directly after Snow Mountain Patriarch returned to the formation.
“More than a general.” Snow Mountain Patriarch looked at the Meng family army approaching slowly with a complicated expression, and his voice was so light that it sounded like a dream, “I have learned all the knowledge related to cultivation in the world.
The alchemy, weapon refining, and formation formations of the Qigong practitioners, the military formations and military formations of the mortals, and the martial arts of the human immortals.
Even the sorcerers in the world would pray to the gods, ask the gods to help them, and tell fortunes.
I was once a general, a knight-errant, a retainer of Lord Xinling, wore Confucian clothes to listen to Yan Hui’s Confucianism lectures, helped the mountain god guard the mountain, and lived in the sea as a ‘Yaksha’ for hundreds of years.
There is no way, all the true immortal methods are controlled by Taiyi Xuanmen.
Without good roots and good fortune, let alone entering the door, you can’t even see the door.
You have seen me dressed like this before. Do you think I am a Taoist priest or a monk? “
Without waiting for Xiaoyu to answer, he said to himself: “I am both a Taoist priest and a monk, but I am neither a Taoist priest nor a monk.
No matter whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, demon or monster, I will become the disciple of whoever can help me make one step further on the path to immortality.
This is the helplessness of casual cultivators.”
His eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked: “Fellow Daoist Long Yang should not be able to understand this kind of helplessness and powerlessness, right?
Daoist friend, your magical power is strong and pure, you must have inherited the legacy of a great sect.”
Xiaoyu felt the same way and secretly admired the old man’s inspirational spirit.
Hearing this, she subconsciously denied it, “I am also a casual cultivator—”
——No, the old man is not sharing his experience as a casual cultivator with me, he is trying to test my bottom line! Is “Longyang Daojun” a casual cultivator?
Xiaoyu suddenly realized that she had overlooked one thing. Although she had established the character of “Man-eating Old Demon” for “Longyang Taoist”, she did not set “him” as a casual cultivator.
Because she only changed her appearance and fortune, and did not deliberately hide the evil aura of “Little Dragon Xiaoyu”.
The demonic aura of “Little Dragon Xiaoyu”, who was transformed into an adult ancient dragon by using the “Dragon God Art”, is actually very pure.
This is obviously not what a casual demon dragon should have.
“But the situation of the younger generation is slightly better than that of the older generation. Hehe, the younger generation has met a mistress, she is the illegitimate daughter of the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea.” Xiaoyu was a little proud and a little embarrassed.
Snow Mountain Patriarch narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: “So, Daoist Fellow Long Yang has no master?”
—You keep asking questions, old man? You asked for it!
Xiaoyu gritted her teeth secretly and decided to turn the passive situation into active one.
She jumped off the horse and bowed to him respectfully, “Grandmaster, no, Master, I really don’t have a master. This time I came to the Southern Continent because my lover was skinned and flayed by Yu Fengxian.
I have the desire for revenge, but I don’t have the strength to kill the enemy, so I plan to find a master to learn from!
If you don’t mind, I would like to learn the secrets of magical powers from you.”
The Snow Mountain Patriarch was stunned, and quickly dodged, saying: “Your power is as strong as mine, how dare I accept you as my disciple?”
Xiao Yu said: “Teacher just talked about the helplessness and powerlessness of independent cultivators.
In order to go further, I will become the disciple of whoever can help me improve my Taoism, whether it is Taoism, Buddha, demons, or gods.
The disciples admired their teacher’s determination to seek the truth and wanted to emulate him.
Master Xueling said that the teacher had mastered several powerful magical powers and could kill Meng Yi as easily as slaughtering a dog or a chicken.
I don’t want to learn the Qi Refining Immortal Technique, I just want you to teach me how to fight and kill the enemy!”
“Don’t call me ‘teacher’ anymore. I really can’t be your teacher.”
Hearing that she was actually planning to use his magical powers, Snow Mountain Patriarch was anxious and angry. He suppressed his anger and impatience and reminded her: “Daoyou, we are facing the enemy in battle! Look ahead, the Meng family army is coming.”
“Old——” Xiao Yu had just shouted halfway when the Snow Mountain Old Ancestor changed color again.
She showed a helpless look on her face and changed her words: “Father Xueshan, is this okay? I am a disciple who sincerely wants to become your disciple and seek the truth with sincerity, so why is the teacher——”
“You should just call me ‘Daddy’!”
The Snow Mountain Patriarch pointed ahead and shouted, “I have to go say hello to Meng Yi, fellow Taoist—”
Da Mie Ba was finally touched!
Xiao Yu suppressed his joy and shouted, “Old Master Xueshan, please stop calling me ‘Daoyou’. I cannot bear it. Please call me by my name.”
“Long Yang, you will take over the battle for me. Let’s go meet the most powerful general of Qin.”
The Snow Mountain Patriarch took the initiative to end the topic, then strode towards the Meng family army at the foot of the hillside.
“Father Xueshan, you are the elder, how can I let you challenge? Let me, your disciple, go!”
As soon as Da Mie Ba was activated, Xiao Yu sensed the crisis, Meng Yi’s crisis.
Although the Snow Mountain Patriarch has practiced for 16,000 years, in terms of his Taoism, he is probably not as good as the ten-thousand-year-old Earthly Immortal Xuan Yin.
Well, it’s a bit rude to use Master Xuanyin as a “reference standard”, but Xuanyin has always been cautious and has never demonstrated his peerless magical powers or invincible Taoism.
Now don’t blame Xiaoyu for regarding him as the basic standard of “ten thousand years of Taoism”.
Since his Taoism is not as good as Xuanyin, whom Xiaoyu looks down upon, shouldn’t the Snow Mountain Patriarch be despised even more?
But this guy has learned a lot of things, and his methods of dealing with enemies are quite fierce.
His hard power is not as strong as Zhang Yuan’s, but he is much more troublesome than Zhang Yuan.
Simply put, the difficulty of deducing the “method of sudden attack and killing” is lower than Zhang Yuan’s; the difficulty of deducing forced killing and assassination is not much higher than Zhang Yuan’s, but it is particularly time-consuming.
The Snow Mountain Patriarch’s single magical power is not as powerful as Zhang Yuan’s Blood-Transforming Divine Sword and Xuanmen Body-Forging Immortal Technique, but this old guy has lived too long and has mastered too many magical powers and secret techniques.
Even though it doesn’t take long to crack a magical power, the number of them is too large.
They are all small magical powers, but they are particularly strange.
Among them was a magical power that targeted the three souls and seven spirits. She didn’t know the name, but she was sure that if she was hit by it, she might be beaten to death.
If Meng Yi left the army formation and walked to the front of the two armies to fight with the Snow Mountain Patriarch, it would be possible that the outcome would be decided in one move, just as Master Xue Ling expected.
The Snow Mountain Patriarch stopped Xiao Yu’s warhorse and said calmly: “This old man and Meng Yi are fighting, you just need to watch from the sidelines and don’t interfere!”
“I’m just challenging you.” Xiaoyu said.
The Snow Mountain Patriarch asked impatiently: “Have you ever been a general? Do you understand the rules of the battlefield?”
“No, today is the first time, what’s wrong?” Xiaoyu said.
The Snow Mountain Patriarch said: “According to the Central Plains Military Etiquette, when two armies are at war, the commander-in-chief must speak to them.
You are not even a lieutenant general. If you challenge them, only the captain will pay attention to you.”
After saying this, he strode down the hillside, and shouted from a distance of three or four miles, “Are you General Meng Yi, the pillar of the Qin Empire? I am Mo Tuo, the garrison commander of Juyong Pass. Do you have the courage to come out and fight me?”
Xiaoyu cursed in his heart: You are the founder of our sect, how can you be so shameless that you even changed your name in order to lure Meng Yi into the trap!
“Mo Tuo? You are an unknown young general that I have never heard of. Do you think you are qualified to challenge my general? Go back to Juyong Pass and prepare to be killed!”
Meng Yi did not respond, it was Meng Huo who was shouting, and Meng Huo did not even ride his horse away from the army formation.
Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt a little gloating: I told you to show off, and you also said “only the commander can challenge the commander”, hehehe, no one even knows you, aren’t you embarrassing?
“You ignorant rat, this is the most powerful general of the Donghu. Even the Great Chanyu Kebi has to show respect and even kneel down to kowtow to him. You little sergeant, get out of the way and let Meng Yi come out to speak!”
Although she laughed at Snow Mountain Patriarch a thousand times in her heart, she reacted quickly. She rode out immediately and loudly defended the ugly-looking Snow Mountain Patriarch.
“You ignorant Longyang, retreat immediately. There is no need for you to say anything here.” The Snow Mountain Patriarch did not appreciate it and scolded in a low voice.
