Chapter 76 Countermeasures(1/2)
What this incense burner contains is the very rare Yin Sandalwood. This is made by grinding the finest sandalwood into powder, and then mixing it with auxiliary drugs such as motherwort, manjushuahua, and tea powder.
Put it in the jar, seal it with wax, and sink it into the underground Yin River for brewing. It will be a small success in three years, a medium grade in seven years, a top grade in thirteen years, and a top grade in thirty-one years.
However, the shelf life of most Yin Sandalwood is only ten years, so ordinary and medium-grade sandalwood are still available in the market, but top-grade and top-grade sandalwood are the kind that are rare to find. However, there are people who make this kind of sandalwood among the esoteric sects.
It turns out that in order to make top-grade and top-quality sandalwood incense, the blood of enlightened monks must be added.
Because the main use of Yin Sandalwood is to soothe frightened souls, adding the blood of enlightened monks, it contains the meaning of Buddhism feeding tigers with one's body and feeding eagles with meat, so only top-grade and top-quality Yin Sandalwood can be brewed.
.
At this time, the top-grade Yin Sandalwood burning in the one hundred and eight incense burners was burning.
Strange to say, after the Yeyin sandalwood is lit, there seems to be a faint silvery brilliance in the curling light, and the smoke is also condensed and does not disperse, slowly spreading and sliding in the air. That kind of posture is amazing.
I can't help but think of the scene of oil droplets slowly spreading on the water.
To a living person, the smell of Yin Sandalwood is just so-so. If you smell it carefully, it seems to have a little smell, but you can't notice it if you don't consciously notice it.
After the 108 incense burners scattered around were lit, the entire Wuzuo City was quickly covered by the scent of the Yin Sandalwood with a faint silvery light. However, the fierce hungry ghosts who rushed into Wuzuo City were holding their heads high.
Necks, greedily breathing this breath, each one has tears streaming down his face, intoxicated. At this time, they are all immersed in the happy memories of being reunited with their families, completely forgetting everything outside them.
I seized this opportunity. At this time, it was already floating on the surface of the Black Emperor Mirror, which was more than a hundred feet high in the air, and little bits of rain began to fly down. These little bits of rain soon enveloped the whole city, and it was the weirdest thing.
What's surprising is that even ghosts without any physical body can be wetted by this rain.
At this time, you can see that on the surface of the Black Emperor Mirror, you can see Wu Zuocheng from any angle. Wu Zuocheng in this mirror looks particularly transparent, and every ghost inside is clearly visible.
.There was no hiding place. Without exception, they were all lying on their backs, greedily sucking in the dripping rainwater with a look of intoxication on their faces.
Immediately afterwards, the Black Emperor Mirror slowly turned, and finally turned towards the barrier defense line not far away. The camp of the East China Sea Alliance Army could be vaguely seen, and a simple and shabby road glowing with black began to slowly extend towards there. This
Although this dilapidated road is covered with wooden boards, it is decayed and dilapidated, and looks similar to a plank road that has been in disrepair for a long time.
The rain suddenly stopped, and the face of the ghost reflected in the Black Emperor Mirror was filled with disappointment, pain, and a huge feeling of loss for a moment, and then he looked at the winding black tattered road with red eyes.
At the end of the road, I rushed over like crazy!
At this time, in the hearts of these ghosts, Wu Zuocheng is a happy place full of memories, as delicate as glass, and as fragile as glass. Under the misdirection of the Black Emperor Mirror, the East China Sea Allied Forces Camp opposite
It is filled with countless enemies who are full of hatred for this place and want to crush it all, so these evil spirits awakened by the forbidden secrets must rush over and protect this happy place!!
At the same time, many high-status figures in the East China Sea Alliance Army gathered at the barrier defense line.
Because the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts is a very famous rumor among the countries in the East China Sea. I heard that the ancient terrifying secrets have reappeared and can still be used on the enemies on the opposite side, so half of these people are invited, and the other half are
But he came uninvited.
Of course, such people saw the terrifying power of the Tengu Eclipse Moon, and then witnessed the entire formation erupting to the extreme in an instant. They were all amazed and said that they had never seen such a spectacle. At this time, the priests were also striking while the iron was hot, and they were all arrogant, and even
Some people say that if you were sincere and asked us to take action early, I believe this city would have been leveled long ago.
At this time, all the generals also donated money generously, some converted, and some immediately bowed down.
However, while these priests were busy collecting money and ushering in the door, the counterattack led by Shui'e was already in full swing, rolling in like a tidal wave!
At this moment, the entire fortress defense line was filled with gusts of sinister wind, ghost chirps, and even many weak soldiers were possessed. They picked up knives and slashed wildly, and the entire military camp suddenly became a big mess.
Seeing Wu Zuocheng's staggering number of ghosts rushing towards the opposite military camp like crazy, even if they were dissolved in the blood-evil air, Lin Fengjin suddenly realized that Shui'e was really good at this.
Thousands of evil ghosts have been manipulated by the applause, and they are extremely skillful! This is quite clear. In addition to ability, there is no way to play without extremely rich experience.
The reason for this is very simple. If a novice Ph.D. in management is to run an exhibition with a scale of 100,000 people, it is impossible for a veteran with a high school degree to run it well. This is the importance of experience. But
There are too many mysteries about the servants Shi Nu and Shui'e, and when it comes to this aspect, the two of them disrespect the master Lin Fengjin very much, cosplaying the sawed gourd, and Lin Fengjin is helpless
ah.
Soon, Wuzuo City became peaceful again, and Lin Fengjin also specially designated a large area as the residence of the seven great lamas. This large area was the most prosperous area in Wuzuo City.
The divided area can be said to be very valuable. Once the siege is lifted in the future, a grand Buddhist temple will be built here.
Originally, the seven great lamas felt it was inappropriate to refuse, but Lin Fengjin cited the example of the Daxiangguo Temple in Xiangfan City. It is the most prosperous place in Xiangdu and is famous all over the world. Although this temple
It has been destroyed for a long time, but it is still called Daxiangguo Temple. There are many people in a prosperous place. When there are more people, believers will naturally come in a steady stream.
Changqing Living Buddha heard Lin Fengjin's words and was very satisfied, so he accepted it with emotion.
Although the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts was successful at this time, the Wu Zuocheng area overlapped with the Bardo Realm. A steady stream of evil ghosts spawned. However, after the evil ghosts within this area were spawned, they would first be enshrined in the Yin Tan in the Buddhist temple.
Attracted by the scent of incense and gathered there, there is no intention to harm people or animals.
Then every night at midnight, Shui'e used magic to confuse these ghosts and let them immerse themselves in the memories of the past. Then she interrupted their memories and induced them to attack the East China Sea Allied Forces full of resentment. This series of
His methods were very skillful and skillful, and Wu Zuocheng had no influence at all.
***
Wu Zuocheng's side was constantly fighting, and the hundreds of ghosts who had high hopes for the night march on the opposite side became a big joke. The hundred ghosts did indeed walk at night, but unfortunately they were in their own camp...
Among them, the priests were the most disgraced. They thought of ways to fight back, but no matter how they fought back, they were easily defeated by Shui'e. In the end, these priests could only bow down with sad faces, knowing that they could not handle this.
A powerful ghost fellow could only accept his fate and demolished the altar in the camp, and concentrated on dealing with the evil ghosts who had returned from killing him.
This made such a big mistake. The East China Sea Allied Forces have basically reached a consensus, that is, don't provoke these perverts in Wu Zuocheng. It's best to guard your defenses and trap them inside.
If you provoke me, you will either get a bloody blow, or you will be resolutely counterattacked like Hyakuki Yakou...
However, having the right path is both a blessing and a curse. The gods of the East China Sea were completely humiliated during the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts, and they were always thinking about counterattacking. The gods of the East China Sea were also a little angry.
, it turns out that they are called eight million gods after all, and the abilities of these evil gods are also all kinds of strange.
Finally, the God of Plague and the God of Luck joined forces and finally found a flaw in Wu Zuocheng. They sacrificed three red flags, and then used the eleven prisoners imprisoned in Wu Zuocheng as insiders. Finally, they succeeded in a conspiracy, and
This conspiracy did indeed bring heavy damage to Wu Zuocheng.
Horse plague began to spread in Wuzuo City, and this severe horse disease was extremely contagious and its onset was extremely fast, sweeping through the entire horse population in Wuzuo City in an instant.
According to the sailors who patrolled the sea outside Wuzuo City day and night, at the height of the plague, there were even thousands of war horse corpses abandoned from the small pier at the back gate of Wuzuo City every day! In many cases, the Sanli tribesmen who carried the horses out were
It was a loud cry. When the plague was over, after evaluation, it was considered to be quite good if there were only two to three thousand war horses left in Wu Zuocheng.
After such a victory was confirmed, the East China Sea Allied Forces celebrated with great joy. Even many generals breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that what these prairie barbarians in Wu Zuocheng are best at is cavalry attacks, which is also what everyone is most afraid of.
, the cavalry tactics even brought a very deep shadow to their hearts. At this time, no matter how good the riding skills of these prairie barbarians in Wu Zuocheng were, and no matter how superb their shooting skills were, without horses, it would be equivalent to having no horses.
A stupid bird with no wings, it can't do any tricks or schemes at all.
After the assassination was successful this time, even the usually cautious Crow Gui Ce breathed a sigh of relief. He treated his subordinates to a rare meal and got drunk. On the front line facing Wu Zuocheng, Crow Gui Ce
The pressure of policy is also great. It can be said that it is a battle of repeated defeats. At the same time, it also has to deal with internal struggles for power and constraints.
This time, the incident of His Highness Yongtiao and the death of Gang Bo really sounded the alarm to the East China Sea Allied Forces, so the request made by Ya Gui Ce was also particularly generous. Ya Gui Ce thought which general was unruly and unruly
No, just transfer him immediately to ensure that he has all the power in the military camp and has only one voice.
In addition, taking advantage of the fact that the army was still there and plundered so many Han slaves, the barrier defense line was rebuilt. The walls of the barrier defense line were previously two feet high, but this time they were four feet high.
Oh, the last time Lin Fengjin used a blitzkrieg to catch them off guard, this time he dug hundreds of thousands of deep pits the size of a bowl between Wu Zuocheng and the barrier defense line. Not to mention that the horses in Wu Zuocheng died.
Seven Seven Eight Eight, even in its heyday, it was impossible to run on such a grassland.
At the same time, Yao Guice felt that his troops were insufficient, so he directly supplied his troops to 60,000.
When he left last time, there was too little food left for Ya Gui Ce, and he couldn't finish the food he grabbed this time. Therefore, the food left for Ya Gui Ce could last for three years.
Crow Guice felt that there were too few equipment on the defense line, so he just said one word: demolish it! Replenish all the ballistas and other things on the ship.
Finally, Yao Guice had nothing to say. He stroked the newly built defense line with an intoxicated expression, as if he was stroking the breasts of the geisha with blackened teeth in his hometown sake town. Under the guidance of the leaders,
He promised loudly in front of him:
"Next time the prairie barbarians come again, their corpses will fill this wilderness! These prairie barbarians will just wait obediently to get moldy and smelly in Wuzuo City."
The leaders observed carefully for a while and felt that Yao Guice was not bragging or talking big words, so they finally left with confidence and boldness. They also reached a consensus at this time. Soldiers need to be quick, and they must take advantage of the Central Plains countries before they return.
If an opportunity comes to you, go deep into the coastal areas and make a fortune.
According to the analysis of His Highness Tianlu, spies from the East China Sea countries who were stationed in the Central Plains court came back. Facing the first attack, the reaction of the four Central Plains countries (excluding Xirong) was very strange. They were all suspicious, and they felt that they should
It's the neighboring countries that are up to something. Even the opponents haven't figured it out yet. In this case, all states and counties can only be ordered to be on strict alert, and it's impossible to make any effective response in a short period of time.
However, the East China Sea Allied Forces adopted this method of fighting across the coast, which is completely unfamiliar to the four countries of the Central Plains. As long as it is close to the coast, or even cities by the river, it can be said that they will be covered and included in the attack targets.
The states and counties are on tight alert but no actual reinforcements have arrived, so the only consequence is to make people everywhere panic. It does not do any good to the overall situation.
For the East China Sea Allied Forces, they had no experience when they went there last time. Secondly, they were unfamiliar with the place. More importantly, they had no confidence. Therefore, they made many mistakes in the process. This time
If you go, you must make up for it. You must make up for the mistakes and regrets you made last time.
***
Although Wu Zuocheng is located in the north, it is still the end of April after all. The breath of spring has quietly entered the city that has been besieged for two months. Lin Fengjin sat in front of his study and was writing.
When I posted the post, I looked up and saw that the pear blossoms and peach blossoms in front of the window were already in full bloom. They were blooming in red and white colors and were very lively. The spores on the trees next to them were also glowing with green, which made people feel full of vitality at a glance.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside. After hearing this, Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"Why are you here so early today?"
The person who came was Yi Li who was assisting Lin Fengjin in handling internal affairs. After listening to Lin Fengjin's words, Yi Li reluctantly smiled and said:
"There is relatively little official business today, so I finished it in just a few clicks. There are only two documents left that need the master's approval, so I sent them over."
To be continued...
