Chapter 375: The world has changed

Ten years have passed in a hurry.
Over the past ten years, the changes in the entire spiritual world seem to be a bit big.
Let me talk about the situation of the Lu family first.
The Lu family added two new monks of the Golden Core period, not others, officially Lu Wenen and Lu Weiwen, the brothers and sisters. After the two of them were promoted to Golden Core, the number of Golden Core cultivators in Lu's family directly rose to as many as six.
Chao Heshun smoothly entered the middle of the golden core and became a monk on the fourth floor of the golden core. And Chaoxi, Yanling, and Ming Chao, all three of them have reached the sixth level of the Golden Core, and they are only one step away to enter the late Golden Core.
Lu Qing is very satisfied with these descendants.
The family was promoted to six stars, and it was hoped that one of them would quickly come out of a Nascent Soul monk. The upgrade of the family level can be completed with only such a condition.
And Lu Qing's own words, now, has become a monk on the sixth floor of Yuan Ying.
However, for him, there is no need to talk about realm or something. As soon as he entered the middle level of the Nascent Soul, he felt that he was already invincible in the Nascent Soul Stage; now, he was just going further from the invincible level. Although he was only at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul, as long as he did not reach the opponent of the law, he would be scum.
In terms of the phase of the Fa... it's hard to say, it's a big power level.
However, Lu Qing has not shown their power once or twice by the masters of the Fa-Phase Stage that Lu Qing has seen so far. They can also compare and evaluate each other in their hearts.
He felt that the monks in the early stage of the Fa-xiang could use all their methods and could also fight against it - provided that the opponent did not show the true-body of the Fa-xiang, otherwise the level of strength would be too large and it would be difficult to fight.
But under this premise, Lu Qing couldn't think of a solution. Now that you know that a master of Faxiangqi can show the truth of Fafa, and he can't beat him, then you must find a way to suppress the opponent, so that the opponent can not show the truth of Fafa when he has time.
For the early stage of Dharma, this is not impossible. A clear gap between the early stage and the middle stage of the Dhamma is the time to reveal the true body of the Dhamma. The latter almost came out with a thought, but the former didn't work. There must be a process of using it.
This is where you can make a fuss.
Moreover, no matter what, facing the master of the phase, if you can't beat it, you can always run away.
This is the most stable.
According to Lu Qing's idea, wishing to develop slowly and stably like this, that is the most comfortable.
At present, the central court of Yan State has been able to control Jinzhou and Jizhou for two to three decades. After two to three decades of operation, it has become very obvious. The manpower and material resources of the two places can be driven very deeply. , Don’t have to worry too much. The Central Forbidden Army has also expanded to 40,000, and the number of Jindan monks who can be directly commanded by the Lu family has reached as many as 14. There are six Lu family members. In addition to Yunxuan and Hai Sande at Qingfengmen, another person named Fei Ancheng has also entered the Jin Dan stage. Counting Sun Changhai and Gongsun Chan from Selangor, that's eleven.
Here in Yandu, Mo Ruhai is in the golden core period, and there are two other golden cores from the imperial court, and now they are basically taking care of them and can be attributed to the Lu family's command.
Not to mention, what made the Lu dynasty stronger than the Li dynasty was that they could get the full support of Feiyun and Selangor.
Now Feiyun Prefecture, that's not bad anymore. Shenlu County’s large-scale development, a large number of demonic tribes, became subjects of the Kingdom of Yan. After Shenlu County shined, Shenlu County quickly took advantage of its rich resources, developed rapidly, and gave The Lu family provided the main beam of income.
At this level, under the leadership of the Lu family, the central court after more than 20 years of recuperation, cleaning up civil strife, and uniting domestic forces, has managed to make the Yan court even more prosperous than the Li family back then.
No matter how slow Yunxiaozong was, of course they had discovered this situation.
To be honest, Yunxiaozong went up and down, and was really surprised by this.
At first, of course, they felt that the Lu family was weaker than the Li family and had no foundation in the court, so they supported them. They really didn't expect that Lu Jiaran was so capable, he would be able to do what he is now in just over 20 years.
In fact, Yunxiaozong is not that strong in nature, and has to intentionally suppress the court or something. But this kind of thing, to be honest, is not a question they want or not. The Yunxiaozong’s status in the Yan Kingdom was destined for normal work, normal decision-making, and normal development. That would be a suppression to the court.
The honeymoon period between the two parties has also ended in recent years.
Of course, the end of the honeymoon period does not mean that there has been any conflict between the two parties. Some minor political frictions are inevitable, but overall, there is not much conflict, and the court is still obedient.
In fact, as far as Yunxiaozong was concerned, although the Lu dynasty was prosperous, it seemed that the future potential was high, but to a certain extent, they were still not particularly concerned.
What's the use of more golden pills than there were during the Li Dynasty? In this world, after all, personal power is paramount. In the Li Dynasty, there were also Emperor Li Shiwen, plus prime minister Zou Ziwu, these two Yuanying monks existed. Especially Li Shiwen, who is still the pinnacle of Yuan Ying, can reach the Dharma Stage just one step away.
As for the Lu family, there was only one Lu Qing, and it was still in the early Yuan Ying stage-they could not have imagined that Lu Qing's cultivation speed would increase so quickly.
What's to worry about?
To worry, it will take decades or a hundred years to wait until Lu Qing reaches the peak of Yuan Ying.
For this situation, Lu Qing is happy to see it happen.
How nice to make a fortune by muffled voice!
He wished that Yunxiaozong would always underestimate the Lu Family, and then he could develop crazily in secret. After the family has two more Nascent Souls and he is promoted to the Dharma Form, what Yunxiaozong and Weiyunzuo master are all for nothing.
Based on Lu Qing's current situation, he can be invincible in the Nascent Soul Stage. When he reaches the stage of Dharma Stage, then the most conservative idea, at least not in the later stage of Dharma Stage, don't want to fight him?
But, having said that, in the past ten years, the world of spiritual practice has changed a little bit. This is not just casual talk.
Thirteen years ago, news came from the west that the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom, the strongest of the nine countries, finally unwilling to be lonely and started a strategy of outward expansion. To the east, they had a violent conflict with the Liang country; to the northeast, they also clashed with the Jin country; to the south, they also had a conflict with the Shu country.
The distance between them is too far, and the information that Lu Qing can get here is also very limited. But according to the information at hand, there might be a large-scale war in the west of the spiritual world.
And as expected, in the past 13 years, various conflicts between the four western countries have become more and more intense. Daqin Immortal Kingdom one-to-three still has the upper hand.
Especially Liang Guo was forced to breathe a little.
Originally, the two families of Liang and Jin were enemies for generations. In the past thousands of years, there was a lot of hatred between each other, not to mention the destruction of the Northern Wild Forest by the Jin Kingdom, which made the demon race very powerful. Liang Guo was very dissatisfied.
But at the moment, under the persecution of Da Qin, Liang and Jin have the meaning of letting go of their past hatred. Although it has not officially started yet, based on the intelligence collected by Jin Yiwei from the outside, the two countries faintly have the meaning of peace talks and even alliances to jointly fight against Da Qin's persecution.
And if it is said that the contradiction between Daqin and Liang, Jin and Shu in the west of the world, Yan can still be a melon-eater here, just watching the show here, and it has little to do with them, then what happened in the southeast Things, they can't be so out of the way.
There was an urgent message from Dayan Jinyiwei that Wei Guo was about to fight Qi Guo.
Dayan's Jinyiwei has been established for some years. In addition to the domestic intelligence network, Jin Yiwei's tentacles also extend abroad.
However, after all, the time is still short, and Jin Yiwei's tentacles are stretched out to the periphery, and it is difficult to grasp particularly confidential and important information.
And if the news of the Wei State launching an army to conquer the Qi State is all obtained by Yan Guo Jin Yiwei, then many, many people may already know about this matter, and even the current Wei State army is already in force Maybe on the road.
This matter is different from the big watermelon in the west of the world. When Qi and Wei went to war, this country of Yan was personally connected.
Both Qi and Wei are the neighboring countries of Yan State in the south. Needless to say, Wei Guo, although Qi State has no direct territorial contact, it is resting on an angled sea area.
The ocean, in this world of spiritual practice, is not an obstacle. Not to mention the large flying boats, some monks, even relying on their own abilities, can fly over directly.
The relationship between Yan and Qi is relatively cold. Although they didn't fight each other with bayonets like Yan and Wei did, they were still not friendly.
Of course, if the Qi and Wei are at war, Yan is more inclined to stand on the side of Qi.
In the past few decades, Wei has always been aggressive. In addition to having a good relationship with Liang in the west and no major conflicts with Chu, they have fought against Yan in the north and Qi in the east for generations. The enemy, there is also territorial friction with Wu in the southeast...
In other words, Wei is essentially a country with a strong desire for expansion.
The Lu family notified Yun Xiaozong of the incident as soon as he received the battle between Qi and Wei.
Of course Yunxiaozong also has its own news channel. When the news from the imperial court passed, they actually knew about it. Moreover, they also faintly revealed that they wanted to intervene.
Obviously, the Wei State supported Li Shiwen to break through the law and mess up the Yan State, and even the general Xia Cang directly led the army to fight with the Yan State on the front line of Pingzhou, which made Yunxiaozong hate to this day.
What's more, isn't this just an opportunity?
Qi and Wei fought, Yan Guo went south, stabbed from the north, that was a revenge.
What's more, besides revenge, this matter also has a very great practical significance.
The Yunxiaozonghui wanted to bring the northern half of Hezhou of Wei State into its own control. In fact, it was originally the land of Yan State.
In the past, hundreds of years ago, the border between Yan and Wei was not the generation on the front line of Pingzhou, but a river pushing thousands of miles south.
This big river originates from the impossibly high mountains in the west, flows all the way east, and finally merges into the sea. This is one of the largest rivers in the entire world, and is called the Great River to the south.
However, in the defeat of Yan State hundreds of years ago, Wei State crossed the river and took the land of these three counties north of Dahe as his own. At that time, Yan Guo tried a big crisis, but in the end it was passed.
But since then, great changes have taken place in the military strategic posture between Yan and Wei.
The big river is very wide, and it is also a huge water line. The surrounding products are rich, and the income of the three counties is not low. More importantly, along the big river, with the help of the river's aura, it is possible to arrange a very powerful formation. Using Dahe to do defense would definitely be much more comfortable and safer than the border between Yan and Wei.
Wei Guo has always been stronger than Wei Guo in national strength, in all aspects. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for them to find any chance to retake the half state north of Dahe under the defense of Wei Guo. On the contrary, Wei Guo still used that half of the state as a base for advancement all the year round, which made Yan Guo a big head.
But now that Qi and Wei are at war, this is a good opportunity.
Although Qi is a small country, the main territory is on the huge peninsula to the east of the world, but then again, the peninsula is rich in resources, and there are endless high-level monks. Even if Wei State is more powerful, when facing Qi State, he can't be underestimated, otherwise he will be vulnerable to violent backlash.
If the two countries play out their brains, it may not be impossible for the country of Yan to take the opportunity to go south and recover the homeland that has been lost for hundreds of years.
It is natural for Yunxiaozong to have such thoughts.
In fact, the Dayan court had the same idea here.
However, after discussing with his advisers and the core monks of the Lu family, Lu Chaoxi decided not to act rashly.
It must be true that Qi and Wei went to war. But now, at best, people are only in the early stages of the battle, and they don't know how far the war will go in the end. If it were just ordinary border frictions, or even local wars, then if Yan State hurried southward, it might immediately attract Wei's attention to himself.
Don't play the game of stealing chickens to save the Qi from the Wei Dynasty. While Qi Guo was laughing happily, he wouldn't be grateful to Yan Guo. At the same time, Dayan's Southern Expeditionary Army might be hit head-on.
Lu Chaoxi prefers not to do it, at least until the war between Qi and Wei has progressed to a certain extent, and until a tacit understanding with Qi is reached.
Of course, not doing anything for the time being does not mean that you have to give up this opportunity. Lu Wenen has ordered the Jinyiwei in Wei and Qi to pay close attention to the war between Qi and Wei, and report back in time.
...
Follow-up information, one after another, came from the hands of Jin Yiwei lurking in both Qi and Wei in a short period of time.
From this information, we can know that the war between the Qi and Wei countries has progressed so rapidly that it makes people feel a little jaw-dropping.
It was Wei Guo who initiated the attack. Xia Cang had clearly appeared on the frontline battlefield, and within a month, he had cut two Yuan Ying cultivators from Qi State.
Yuan Ying period, this is a rare master for any fairy country. Even if they die two, even Qi State, which is much stronger than Yan State, will feel very heartache.
At the same time, with the deaths of the two Yuanying monks, the Great Wei army made rapid progress in the east. Both Qi and Wei had territorial disputes in the border areas of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. These two states originally had the absolute advantage of Qi, but in the third month after the war, they all fell into the hands of Wei.
In the early days of the war, Qi State fell into a disadvantage, and their reaction seemed a little slow.
But the heritage of the old and powerful country is here after all. Qi's army quickly assembled from the hinterland of Qi, and under the leadership of Qi's masters of law, launched a counterattack.
Cui Qing, the supreme elder of the Dongzhou Cui clan, is also a well-known veteran Buddhist monk. He became famous even earlier than Xia Cang, and is said to be an expert in the later period of the Buddhist monk.
The armies of the two countries fought fiercely with Xuzhou and Qingzhou as the battlefield.
By the time the war lasted for half a year, the losses on both sides had reached a point of surprise. For the casualties of ordinary cultivators, I won't say more about this for the time being. In the light of the original infant stage, both sides have died six in total. Qi State’s losses were even greater, and the four Yuan Ying monks who died were all from Qi State’s side.
After all these pieces of news were put together, Yan Guo's decision-making has naturally undergone some changes.
Xia Cang obviously couldn't make a move. He was in full swing with Cui Qing from the east. In the case of real fire on both sides, Xia Cang absolutely must not leave the battlefield of Qi and Wei. Otherwise, after Cui Qing knew this, he acted unscrupulously, which would cause a devastating blow to the army of the State of Wei.
Then, under this premise, it seems that Yan's move to the south is an optional decision?
A few months ago, when I learned that the two countries were at war, although the State of Yan had not decided whether to intervene in it, the corresponding preparations for the war must be indispensable. Forty thousand Yandu imperial forces have gathered for a long time, and 20,000 monks have also gathered in Pingzhou and Jizhou. Feiyun State and Selangor State can provide another 30,000. This alone is 80,000 monks. There would be no problem if Yunxiaozong used the same number.
The Lu's imperial court and Yunxiaozong exchanged messengers very frequently. Lu Chaoxi used the mirror technique to meet again and again with the sect master Han Xuzi of the Yunxiaozong. They were talking about these matters and constantly exchanging opinions between the two sides.
This matter, the final decision-making power, of course, belongs to Yunxiaozong. When they say they want to fight, the Lu family can’t say anything, so they can only go side by side with them.
However, after all, the name of the emperor, including the current strength of the Lu Family in the Yan Kingdom, must be respected. What's more, if a war arises, whether it is logistics or support, the court will have to exert its strength. What's more, Yun Xiaozong was not so sure about this matter. Therefore, when making decisions, more discussions and discussions are naturally appropriate.
But before the two giants of Yan State reached an agreement with each other, one thing directly interrupted their discussion.
Wei Guo sent an envoy to Yandu.
This is not the first time Wei Guo has sent an envoy.
Earlier, after the war between Qi and Wei, the envoys of these two countries, including Chu and Wu far to the south, had diplomatic envoys and went north to Yan.
The two countries of Wu and Chu prefer to make soy sauce. Their envoys came to the country of Yan, the main purpose of which is to find out what attitude the country of Yan is.
This is normal, and Yan Guo would do it himself. Even before, in the West of the spiritual world, when the Great Qin Kingdom began to do things around, the Kingdom of Yan also sent its own envoys to other countries—not too important a role, and sent a foundation-building monk to take a look. Looking at the situation, there will be no big problems. You don't even need these envoys to go on their own. There is more or less commercial communication between the various immortal kingdoms. Let the envoys take the caravan's flying boat and it's done.
What is really important is the envoy of Qi Wei.
The envoys of Qi have come in waves since a few months ago. Their demands are simple, they hope that Yan will send troops to put pressure on Wei from the north. Even, they are still willing to pay a lot of things for this, from materials to personnel training, and even things like the quota of Penglai Immortal Palace, which can be discussed.
The conditions that Wei State had always offered were also benefits. The promise of resources was no less than that of Qi State, and even further, he was willing to cede a county north of the river to Yan State.
Looking at this condition, Wei Guo must be much more generous. But things can’t be counted like that. What's the point of ceding a county to the north of the river~EbookFREE.me~? What Yan Guo wanted was Dahe as the national boundary, and it was much more comfortable whether it was a defensive attack. Taking only one county to the north of the Dahe, Wei Guo still kept the land of two counties in the north. This is the nail under Yan Guo's eyelids. As long as they want, they can still launch an offensive at any time. There will still be no change in the strategic posture between the two parties.
I originally thought that this time the envoys of the two countries came, and the goal was still the same as before. It was nothing more than to look at the extent of the benefits of the parties. In this matter, the meaning of the Yan court is actually quite obvious: if it decides to join the war, unless Wei promises to cede the half of the state north of Dahe to Yan, he will definitely stand in Qi. there.
However, this time, after Lu Zhaoxi met with the envoy of Wei State as usual, he heard another news from the other party that they had never received before:
"'Ghost Face God' Chen Man has been promoted to the law????"
