The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 139: The Immortal caressed my head, tied my hair and received immortality

The bright moon hangs high in the sky above the southern foot of the Yinshan Mountains.

Thousands of horses galloping.

Unlike Gao Yang, who had dark skin, scaly body, and extremely ugly appearance, Gao Cheng was very handsome.

Under the moonlight, Gao Cheng, who is over a hundred years old, still retains the appearance of his youth.

Baibao Xianbei was accompanied by the Turkic knights, as if returning to the scene when the State of Qi was conquering all directions.

Rumble..., the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and another group of prairie knights came.

The sturdy man in the lead was dressed as the Khan of the grassland. He had long fangs that looked like wolf's fangs, and his body hair was gray and lush, like a white wolf on the grassland.

According to legend, the Turkic leader was born by a wolf. Jie Li was born extraordinary and had great strength, and was revered as Khan by the Turkic people.

"Jie Li greets the Lord! One hundred thousand soldiers are at your disposal!"

Jie Li Khan, who was supposed to be the overlord of the grassland, now humbly dismounted and knelt under Gao Cheng's horse.

"Attack." Gao Cheng waved his hand calmly, "Start from the Western Regions, step by step, and destroy the Tang Kingdom."

The cavalry should play to its strengths. The northern Hu people have never been able to defeat the more disciplined and better-equipped Han people in frontal combat.

If 100,000 troops march directly south, I'm afraid the story of Fu Jian will be repeated.

"As ordered!"

Jie Li Khan led his men away.

Gao Yang, who was ugly and had dark skin, stepped forward and said, "Brother, let's join forces to sneak into Chang'an and assassinate Li Shimin."

Gao Cheng glanced at Gao Yang calmly and said, "Foolish! Going there now would be like walking into a trap."

Maybe Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang were setting up a tight net, waiting for the two to arrive.

They may not know the true identities of the two men, but the two sides have actually fought in secret.

Li Shimin's arrow shot back then was very impressive.

Now that he was going to a territory that had been run by someone else for decades, Gao Cheng was not sure of his success.

Before Gao Yang could answer, Gao Cheng spoke again, "You go back and guard the demon corpse. I will handle the rest."

"Okay." Gao Yang agreed immediately without hesitation.

The two parted ways.

Riding alone on the vast grassland.

Gao Cheng's mind was clear and he had only one thought in his heart.

"Longevity..."

He had been an emperor and had no interest in worldly power. His goal was to hide behind the scenes of history and control the movement of the stars.

He has ten years left to live, but because of hidden injuries in his early years, he may only live for two or three years.

Therefore, Gao Cheng became more and more anxious to discover ancient panaceas or try to find the secret of immortality from ancient relics.

The continuous deaths of his men have made Gao Cheng completely lose his patience.

No matter who it is, anyone who stands in the way will die!

The pedestrians disappeared into the night.

The Turks marched southward in large numbers to seize the territories occupied by the Tang Dynasty.

The invasion of the Turks dispelled the thoughts of the people about the coming of true immortals to the earth, and the most urgent task was to destroy the Turks.

The people of Li Tang were busy.

This time the strategic goal was no longer to defeat the Turks and make them surrender, but to completely destroy their country and not allow the Hu people to surrender.

"We have won the battle and annihilated the barbarians."

In Taiji Palace, Li Shimin waved his hand and issued orders to his ministers.

After hundreds of years, the power of the Han people once again surpassed that of the Hu people, and the humiliation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties no longer existed.

……

East City Mansion.

Liang Yue didn't know that his act of killing had triggered a war.

At this moment, he was studying talismans in the clouds.

In Baiyun Imperial Township, with stars above your head, you can overlook the earth.

There are cushions and tables in the imperial palace.

Liang Yue was sitting cross-legged at the desk, holding a wolf-hair brush, writing a fire-transforming talisman.

This time the fire-transforming talisman was different from the usual ones. There was an additional flowing text on the talisman, which Liang Yue called the cloud pattern.

"Hurry up as a law!"

Wow!
The talisman burned and turned into a large fireball that floated in the air before dissipating after a while.

"good."

Yunzhuan automatically activates the talisman according to the command.

That's right, Liang Yue wanted to give the talisman to the two disciples of Jiejiao.

He paced on the spot, as if it was not enough.

You still have to draw the talismans yourself, which makes people feel uninvolved.

"I should let them draw the talisman, and then I will inject my divine thoughts and true energy into it."

Liang Yue continued to immerse himself in research.

Perhaps you can let them draw the outline of the talisman first, and then use the Lihentian Order to communicate with yourself and inject your true energy and spiritual thoughts.

Night falls, and it is as dark as ink.

The eternal lamp is suspended in the air, illuminating all directions.

Liang Yue roughly figured out the method of "outsourcing" the talisman. He only needed to refine the Lihentian token into a seal and transport cloud gas through his divine thoughts. The cloud gas contained true energy and divine thoughts, forming cloud patterns.

The shelf life of cloud patterns is about one month. Currently, they can be used to make fire-transforming talismans, water-transforming talismans, hemostatic talismans, and earth-escape talismans.

To refine a spell, you only need to trigger it with a specific spell.

The process is roughly like this: the Taoist draws the talisman, communicates with himself through the token, and then he inputs his true energy remotely and hits the cloud seal.

"Almost, just add a little more ceremony."

A scene emerged in Liang Yue’s mind.

The Taoists calm their minds, bathe, burn incense, hold an altar for worship, communicate with the gods, write and draw talismans, and paint talismans.

Only after being "granted the magic talisman and entered into the immortal register" by Baiyun Emperor Township can one release magic.

After finishing the work, Liang Yue cleaned up the debris.

The figure suddenly disappeared and appeared above the clouds.

The strong winds on both sides were bone-chilling, and all things on earth fell into a deep sleep.

The darkness is vast and boundless, as if it is the end of eternity.

"There is no law in the mortal world, but I have my own law."

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, Baiyun Emperor's hometown was established and the Taoist country was just beginning.

The border town in the Western Regions has low walls and is full of Hu customs.

General Li Jing returned to his army here.

A small house with a private entrance, looking at the sword by lamplight

The sixty-year-old man was wiping the sword under the lamp. The sword was as clear as a mirror and spotless.

His eyes were fixed on the letter on the desk.

This letter came from Yuan Tiangang, who asked him if he knew the whereabouts of the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and told him what he had seen and heard that day.

"Being too obsessed will go against what you want."

Li Jing smiled helplessly, picked up the paper with the sword blade, and the sword energy tore the paper into pieces. At fifty, one knows the destiny, and at sixty, one's ears are obedient.

Ever since the Lingbao Patriarch cured his hidden injuries with the elixir, he found that his swordsmanship was improving day by day, which meant that he could practice swordsmanship to a level that the ancients had never achieved.

Li Jing's greatest ideal in life is to revitalize Cangjian Villa and gain enlightenment amidst the blood and bloodshed on the battlefield.

Apart from this, I have no obsession with anything else.

Perhaps, this is the reason why the ancestor came down to earth to enlighten me.

Under the candlelight, the sword light danced and the sound of the sword was like a zither.

The sword energy is subtle and continuous.

This is a sign of entering the great innate stage.

In the Great Innate Realm, the will and the body are cleansed by internal strength and sword energy, and reach a higher level.

What is manifested is not how much sword energy is released, but that the sword energy is subtle and can kill people invisibly.

"Report!!"

At this time, the scout came to report.

Li Jing put away the black iron sword and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The Western Regions Hu soldiers have joined forces with the Turks to cut off our retreat, and are now heading this way."

"How many enemies are there?"

"About ten thousand."

"How many of us?"

"Eight hundred."

"Eight hundred... that's enough."

Li Jing smiled coldly. There must be Hu people in the city colluding with the Turks, and the number is estimated to be quite large.

The barbarians are fickle and fear power but not virtue.

The number of Hu people is still too large.

“Leave the city!!”

Li Jing put on armor and led his troops out of the city.

Whether you can live forever or not is not important.

To be known as the god of war and passed down to later generations is also a kind of immortality.

Li Jing was born for the battlefield, and now he is old, but still able to kill the enemy.

The eight hundred Han cavalrymen penetrated into the enemy camp like sharp knives.

Eight hundred is a magical number. Since ancient times, an army of eight hundred has often been able to create miracles.

"kill!!"

"Kill the Han dog!"

The Hu people did not expect Li Jing to be so violent. It would have been fine if they had not run away, but they actually dared to attack.

For a martial arts master to dare to break into a large army formation when he still has all his strength left is simply courting death.

The Turkic general pointed in the direction of Li Jing and said, "Kill them, kill Li Jing in battle, and become famous throughout the world."

The sword energy was raging everywhere, and wherever it went, the Hu people fell like weeds.

Li Jing was at the front of the team, like the tip of a dagger.

Eight hundred cavalrymen protected the two wings and the rear.

The swords of the Han army were getting closer and closer, and even the innate masters of the Hu Lu could not stop them.

But human power has its limits. Li Jing slowed down, his body was covered in blood, and his sword was too slippery to hold.

The horse was dead, so he dismounted and walked. Everything in front of his eyes was blood red, and he looked like a puppet, only able to mechanically swing the black iron sword.

The internal force surged, and the sword energy cleansed every inch of the body, stimulating the flesh and blood and stimulating physical strength.

The barbarians were terrified. If they had not seen that Li Jing was about to die, they would have lost their composure long ago.

boom!
There was a loud explosion in Li Jing's mind, as if breaking through the mysterious gate of the universe.

"Great Innate..."

Wow!
His figure leaped up like a big bird.

Amidst the thousands of troops, only a streak of light was seen cutting through the night sky.

The enemy's banner was broken in half.

General Hu was beheaded with a single sword strike.

"The General is dead!!"

The general was killed in battle, the morale of the troops dropped greatly, and they fled in all directions.

Some people were so frightened that they stood motionless and surrendered themselves in the face of the Han army's butcher knives.

Li Jing stayed away from the enemy camp, went deep into the wilderness, and hunted down the Hu Lu warriors.

He half-knelt on the ground, blood dripping down his cheeks. He could no longer tell whether it was the enemy's blood or his own blood.

Maybe it's both.

He broke through in the battle and died on the battlefield.

Maybe it's a good ending.

He defeated the enemy army with only 800 men and destroyed all the countries in the Western Regions. People in later generations should praise his fame.

"That move just now is called Flying Fairy from the Sky."

The work has been accomplished, but it is a pity that I can no longer relieve the worries of the founder.

In a daze.

There are white clouds in the sky, and the gods descend to the earth on the clouds.

The blurred face contains eternal mysteries.

"Well done, I will teach you the art of the gods."

Immortals caress my head, knotting my hair and receiving immortality.

When Li Jing woke up, the master was nowhere to be seen.

Only one booklet remained in my arms.

Above the white clouds, the true body is sitting cross-legged.

The magical orb injected internal energy into Baiyun, and Baiyun automatically floated towards Chang'an.

Liang Yue sat cross-legged in meditation, visualizing the vast and boundless sea of clouds.

The Night Wandering God has mastered the magical power of clouds and rain and has the ability to change the celestial phenomena. The next step is to comprehend [Wind and Thunder], which will allow him to get started and master one of the most powerful skills in the world - thunder and lightning.

They became the legitimate gods in the Middle Ages, no longer the reclusive ghosts.

High in the sky, the gods eat clouds and practice meditation.

Under the blue sky, humans started a war.

As time passed, the scope and scale of the war gradually expanded.

With the help of a mysterious force, the two Turkic tribes began their historic cooperation.

All parties continue to increase their stakes and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

The Tang Dynasty mobilized the entire country's army, and the emperor led the army in person.

Two hundred thousand elite Turkic troops gathered and marched south to capture Long.

A decisive battle is about to begin.

Go south to capture the dragon and go north to seal the wolf.
