232 Sky Cannon
232 Sky-booming cannon
After this foundation-building monks trade fair for the Great Zhou Kingdom, the troops hoarded in the Danyang Camp began to be mobilized and went to the border battlefield. The border between the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Northern Qi Kingdom was a stretch of valley jungle, with many large and small mountain passes. These mountain passes were a place of war, and people must be sent to guard them.
In the sky, several golden and green flying swords flashed by. Ye Qin, Taoist Zheng, and Zhou Xing, a middle-aged foundation-building cultivator from the Zhou family, the three foundation-building cultivators fell in one of the passes. Following them were more than 20 Qi training cultivators, all of whom were protecting the country of the Great Zhou Kingdom. The task of their group was to ensure that this pass was not occupied by the monks of the Northern Qi Kingdom.
The middle-aged monk from the Zhou family took out more than ten large formation flags and handed them to Ye Qin and Taoist Master Zheng and said, "Master Zheng, Brother Qin, this is the formation flag. You two help me set up a large guard formation here!"
Ye Qin and Taoist Zheng took over the formation flag and quickly inserted it into the dangerous place at the pass.
These array flags radiated light into the sky. In a short while, all the lights were connected, and a light shield that enveloped several miles of light envelope wrapped around the entire pass. If the monks of Northern Qi want to enter the pass, they must first break through this layer of light shield.
After Ye Qin finished all this, he had time to check the terrain of this pass.
This is a steep pass built against the mountain. The Great Zhou Kingdom hoarded 100,000 troops here. Outside the pass, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Northern Qi Kingdom attacked in large numbers, and the two armies were fighting under the pass.
Ye Qin climbed up to a high platform on the city tower and looked at the jungle outside the pass, with a faint expression. Tens of thousands of mortal soldiers from the two armies were densely packed between the valleys, arrows were like rain, and shouts of killing were shocking the sky. A large number of soldiers were killed at every moment.
Since embarking on the path of immortal cultivation, Ye Qin has experienced many battles and has seen countless dead people. He does not have much feelings about this war between the secular mortal army.
However, he felt a little worthless for these mortal soldiers. The Zhou family and the Lu family went to war, just to seize a small spiritual stone mine vein between the border mountains of the two countries. This is a conflict of interests among the cultivators. However, in order to avoid serious casualties among the cultivators of the two major cultivators, the mortal soldiers of the two countries were allowed to fight. These soldiers who died in the battlefield would not know why they were sent to the battlefield until they died.
Zhou Lin had some knowledge of what came several feet behind Ye Qin. Tingting stood quietly, looking at the cruel battlefield outside the pass, and seemed a little reluctant.
Ye Qin turned around and said to her: "Zhou Lin, do you know why the Great Zhou and Northern Qi went to war?"
Zhou Lin thought for a while, shook her head sadly and said, "Senior Qin, I don't know why the Great Zhou suddenly started a war with Northern Qi. This is the decision of the upper class of the family. Ordinary disciples like me are not qualified to participate. Moreover, the Great Zhou royal family and the Northern Qi royal family have a hundred years of marriage, and it has been a long time since such a big war occurred in the two countries. My sister married the secular tribe members of the Lu family of Northern Qi, and I don't know how she is now."
Ye Qin was silent.
In the eyes of many immortal cultivators, mortals are like ants, used to protect the interests of these great immortal cultivators. In this regard, the Lu family and the Zhou family are no different.
A cultivator from the Qi training stage of the Great Zhou Kingdom hurriedly rushed to the city tower and said in a panic voice: "Senior Qin, there is a battlefield ahead of him that is in a tight battle. Senior Zhou, Senior Zheng, please come over immediately!"
Ye Qin was stunned. Do people who still need to take action on the battlefield of mortal soldiers? "Oh, where are they?"
The monk said, "It's in a valley ahead."
Ye Qin thought about it. He didn't understand military affairs, but he also knew that someone needed to stay in the core and important areas of the pass. He looked back at Zhou Lin and said, "This platform is the core of the large flags and the highest point of the entire pass. You can guard it here. If there is a sudden change, send me a message."
Zhou Lin nodded nervously, "Yes, senior, don't worry!"
Ye Qin then threw out his flying sword, took the monk who came to report the message, flew directly away from the pass, and flew to the valley ahead. Within a few breaths, he passed the soldiers and landed on a mound dozens of feet high.
Zhou Xing and Taoist Zheng, the two were standing on the mound, looking indifferently at the battlefield ahead. There were seven or eight Qi training cultivators and many mortal generals beside them. These generals seemed a little frightened.
Ye Qin walked to their side, bowed and asked, "Brother Zhou, Master Zheng, I don't know what's wrong with you calling me?"
Zhou Xing pointed ahead and said, "Brother Qin, what do you think that is?"
Ye Qin looked in the direction he pointed.
The two armies had more than 5,000 elite soldiers fighting bloodily on a flat ground in front of them.
Among the Northern Qi army, dozens of big sword sergeants with bare chests and exposed chests rushing in the front were shrouded by a faint red light. Not only was they invulnerable to swords and guns, but they were extremely powerful. One such sergeant was enough to resist dozens of big Zhou army soldiers. Even if these big sword sergeants were shot by arrows densely like locusts, they left almost no scars, and these sharp arrows were broken.
Several consecutive charges were fought against each other, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou retreated.
Seeing this, Ye Qin was not too surprised, but frowned and said, "They should have been cast some kind of spell, Vajra cover or divine power talisman. Brother Zhou, have you not prepared talisman paper? You can also bless the talisman paper to the soldiers of the Great Zhou."
"I've used it, but it's not the opponent of these big sword sergeants."
Zhou Xing shook his head and said, "Brother Qin, how did you come here for the first time? You don't know much about the secular battlefield. They use not the Vajra cover and divine power talisman, but a kind of evil aura unique to secular soldiers, which is called the Iron Blood Evil. The iron blood Evil has very few iron blood Evil on ordinary soldiers, but after thousands of soldiers gather together, this evil aura will become quite terrible. The most troublesome thing is that these evil auras are collected by the monks, tempered, and then concentrated on the dozens of soldiers, which will make them not afraid of any spells, and their combat power will increase by dozens of times, or even hundreds of times. Ordinary spells have no effect on them. If Brother Qin encounters them, you must not underestimate the enemy. I asked Brother Qin to come over because I was worried that Brother Qin would suffer a secret loss in the future. I could see this Iron Blood Evil aura with my own eyes and could deal with it."
"Iron Blood Evil?"
Ye Qin frowned even more. When he had just gone to Northern Qi State, he met an evil cultivator from the Hongyun Sect collecting iron blood evil energy on the way. He almost caught a fuck. He was wary of this iron blood evil energy. "Brother Zhou, do you know what can control this iron blood evil energy?"
Zhou Xing shook his head and said, "This is the pure iron-blooded evil spirit of the most tough and yang. It not only wards off evil spirits, ghosts, but also magical powers of immortals, which are extremely difficult to control. However, they are not invincible. After all, they are just the flesh and blood of mortals, and they cannot exert too much power of the iron-blooded evil spirit. You can see it clearly."
After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he stopped talking.
Master Zheng looked like an old god, and obviously he didn't plan to take action.
Several Qi-training monks set up a strange iron tube on the earth slope. Ye Qin had seen this thing. It was a stone cannon, which was available on the city heads of many secular countries. It could fire stone bullets to defend the city, but the range was not far, at most hundreds of feet.
However, this fine iron and stone cannon seems to be a little different, with exquisite workmanship. There is a strange formation engraved on the base of the cannon barrel and the location where the spirit stones are inlaid. The iron bullet cast by fine iron is placed in the cannon barrel.
Ye Qin was wondering.
A monk had installed a low-grade spirit stone and activated the formation on the cannon.
"boom--!"
With a loud bang, a dazzling red light spewed out of the cannon barrel, and a missile shot out. A few miles away, a pit appeared in the military formation of the Northern Qi Kingdom, and a large area of blood was surrounded.
Even the soldiers blessed by the Iron Blood Evil could not stop the power of the missile and were smashed to pieces.
On the cannon barrel, the spiritual power of the low-grade spirit stone has completely disappeared and has become a waste stone sand.
The monks cleaned up the waste stones, replaced them with a low-grade spirit stone, and continued to fire. The military formation of the Northern Qi Kingdom was overturned by the bombardment. The decline in the Great Zhou Kingdom's army was quickly reversed.
Ye Qin stared at the stone cannon, watching the monks busy and speechless. He had just discovered that this stone cannon was actually a large spiritual weapon. This kind of spiritual weapon was almost no threat to agile monks, but it was surprisingly domineering when used in war.
"This is?"
Zhou Xing laughed and said, "This is a spiritual weapon refined by the Sky Cannon, the weapon refining master of Daluomon, which is specially used for sharp weapons on the battlefield. However, the number of refining is rare, and our pass is just a bite. However, this bite is enough to make the Northern Qi army suffer a lot."
The Northern Qi army failed to gain any advantage this time.
Several cultivators from the Northern Qi training stage rushed over and tried to destroy the stone cannon. When they saw three foundation-building monks from the Great Zhou were present, they immediately retreated and did not dare to show up again.
After a day of attack, the Northern Qi army had no results and retreated.
Zhou Xing immediately asked the secular generals to lead their troops back to the pass. Most of these generals were secular children of the Zhou family. In front of Zhou Xing, the highest-level monk of the Zhou family, he didn't even dare to breathe a little longer.
......
The next ten days, the Northern Qi army continued to provoke their pass, and the war became increasingly fierce. As Ye Qin expected, the monks of the two countries never fought directly. Whether they used talisman paper to bless the sergeant, or used sky-bombing cannons, or other methods, they were just indirect fights.
The Lu family and the Zhou family are very restrained in this battle. As long as there are no cultivators who are killed, no matter how many mortal soldiers die, both sides still have room to maneuver and will not escalate into a battle of the immortal cultivation family, and may even involve the two major spiritual mist immortal cultivation sects, Qingdan Sect and Beast Spirit Sect.
"No one can afford such a large-scale war in the immortal world."
Every night after the war, Ye Qin came to the tower alone and whispered to himself. Although he felt it was not worth it for the mortal soldiers, he had to agree that in fact, the Great Zhou and Northern Qi dispatched mortal troops to compete for the spirit stone vein in the valley, which was better than the Zhou Immortal Cultivation Family and the Lü Immortal Cultivation Family.
Ye Qin stared at the valley with cold eyes. He could clearly see that there were dozens of evil cultivators in the distant valley, collecting items from the secular battlefields in the jungle of the valleys covered with corpses, iron-blooded evil spirits, and even the corpses of soldiers. As for what to do, it is clear without guessing.
"A bunch of vultures!"
Ye Qin snorted coldly.
He planned to leave the Great Zhou Kingdom after the expiration of the Immortal Master of the Kingdom of Protection in a month. He did not intend to intervene in the conflict between the Lu family and the Zhou family. He would not intervene any longer. No matter how the two of them fought, as long as they did not upgrade to a sect war, it would not have any hindrance to him.
The task assigned to him by the master was to check the reserves of this small ore vein and see if the Lu family needed the support of the sect. He found that the Zhou family was not too strong, and the Lu family was enough to cope with the current situation.
He did not intend to serve the Lü family, nor did he intend to work hard for the Zhou family. In recent days, he has been in exchange for the low-grade spirit stones that he had used for several months from the Great Zhou Kingdom's Immortal Master.
As for where to go after leaving the Great Zhou Kingdom, Ye Qin didn't think too much about it. He had many places to go.
The three years of experience going down the mountain are truly useful to him to practice and increase his experience. While practicing, he can travel to various countries. He can go to the chaotic places, the Wanyue Lake Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Tianqiong Origin Immortal Cultivation Realm. When the training period is over, he will return to Qingdan Gate to practice in seclusion and attack the Golden Pill Avenue.
Ye Qin looked at the sky. It was already late at night and was about to return from the tower to his residence in the city. Suddenly, he paused and saw a familiar dark gray shadow floating out of the pass of the Zhou Kingdom and running towards the valley.
"Master Zheng, what did he do in the valley late at night?"
Ye Qin was hesitating whether he was following the past. Taoist Zheng was a cultivator from a chaotic place, with haze and murderous aura hidden in his eyes, which was disliked by Ye Qin. He usually had no connection with Taoist Zheng. Moreover, Taoist Zheng had a high level of cultivation and was a mid-level cultivator in the foundation building. He might not have the ability to deal with Taoist Zheng.
At this time, a figure of a flowery monk floated down from the city gate, following the gray shadow from afar.
"Zhou Xing?"
Ye Qin took a deep breath of air. The only three Foundation Establishment Cultivators in this pass went out in one night. Where were they going? He waited calmly for a while, and saw that no other cultivators came out again, immediately turned into a shadow of blue smoke, flew out of the pass, and followed them.
Ye Qin did not dare to be careless and followed him very carefully to see what they were doing. Once he found something was wrong, he would leave immediately. If Master Zheng found Zhou Xing stalking, the two of them would definitely fight. He could take the opportunity to leave easily.
Master Zheng ran dozens of miles in the dark valley jungle, and arrived in front of a deep valley. He stopped, took a map, watched with the dim moonlight for a while, and hesitated, "It should be this place!" He turned around and looked around, gritted his teeth, jumped, and jumped into the deep valley hundreds of feet deep.
