Chapter 207-212, The Seventh Spirit Seed, Under the Five Elements Mountain
The fall of Western Xia caused quite a stir internationally.
The powerful neighbor in the north, the Kereyid tribe, which was also the tribe of Temujin's godfather Wang Khan, was the first to react. They sent a small force south to test the current situation in Western Xia.
If the Xia territory was in chaos and failed to respond, Wang Han would personally lead the army south to plunder.
As a result, none of the troops sent out to test the enemy survived, they were all destroyed, and not even a single war horse escaped.
Wang Han quickly stopped the war and sent envoys to discuss the trade between the two countries, and at the same time to inquire about the future movements of the new force that destroyed and occupied all the territory of Western Xia.
As the suzerain state of Western Xia, the Jin Dynasty learned as early as last winter that Western Xia was invaded by powerful enemies from the Western Regions.
Xixia also once considered asking the Jin Kingdom for help and borrowing troops.
But no one in the Xixia court could have expected that the country would be destroyed so quickly.
The numerous defenses that had been prepared for a whole winter were easily penetrated. In just half a year, the entire country had been occupied, even Xingqing Prefecture was breached. Not only did they not have time to formally ask for help from the Jin Kingdom, but not even a single royal family member could escape Xingqing Prefecture.
The Jin Kingdom originally also had the idea of helping Xixia.
But the problem was that Western Xia did not formally send an envoy to ask for help, and the Jin Dynasty predicted that with the tenacious fighting power that Western Xia had demonstrated since its founding, as well as the fact that it had not lost the fertile land of Hetao, still had more than half of the elite territory and a population of nearly two million, it would be able to hold out for at least a year or two. It could even rely on the numerous pass defenses to continuously undermine the enemy's morale and deplete their military strength, and it was not impossible for it to turn defeat into victory.
Who knew that Western Xia would collapse so quickly?
The Jin Dynasty had not yet made any preparations, but Western Xia was destroyed so quickly.
The new power based in Western Xia soon raised a new flag and named the country "Yong".
The country name "Yong" does not sound very aggressive, and even gives people a very peaceful and friendly feeling.
But the Jin Kingdom was very wary of this - the Yongzhou in the ancient Nine Provinces of the Han Dynasty also included the present-day Guanzhong area.
Does the Yong Kingdom have any plans for the Guanzhong region of our Great Jin Kingdom?
Therefore, the Jin Kingdom strengthened its vigilance in the Guanzhong area while sending envoys to the Yong Kingdom to gather intelligence.
As for the State of Song, after receiving the news of the demise of Western Xia, there was a great celebration in the court.
Although Song and Western Xia were no longer direct neighbors after the rise of the Jin Dynasty and the occupation of Guanzhong, there were no more wars between the two countries, and they even began friendly exchanges, but the two countries were enemies for many years after all, and the people of Song were still very happy when they received the news of the demise of Western Xia.
Afterwards, the Song court also sent an envoy to Yong State to congratulate, and by the way, to find out whether Yong State would become hostile to Jin State next.
Of course, the Song State currently has no intention of joining forces with Yong to attack the Jin State.
The small Song Dynasty court in Lin'an was very satisfied with the peaceful situation that had lasted for many years and had no intention of starting a war lightly.
However, although he did not have the courage and ambition to attack the Jin army, he was still interested in sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between the two tigers.
The Song Dynasty delegation even planned to instigate something - since your country has been named "Yong", then shouldn't we also send troops to conquer the Guanzhong region of the Jin Dynasty in order to occupy the ancient Yongzhou area?
Ouyang Feng did not pay much attention to these disturbances.
After occupying all of Xixia's territory, crushing the last resistance, and naming the country "Yong", Ouyang Feng left all the complicated matters at the beginning of the founding of the country to the boss and Huang Yaoshi, and took Lin Chaoying on a tour to appease the people.
This work is of course very important.
After all, it is easier to destroy a country than to govern it.
As an outsider, it is much more difficult to gain the sincere recognition of the people and establish a stable and effective rule than to destroy an army and a country.
So even though Ouyang Feng seems to have done nothing serious and just takes his wife around to travel all day long, he feels that he has made an indelible and great contribution to the stability of the country.
This contribution is no less than leading an army to conquer, defeat an army and destroy a country.
"That makes a lot of sense, but I feel like this is just an excuse for you to be lazy and not be able to handle the mundane affairs."
At night, the former Xixia Weizhou City Government Office, which has now been changed back to "Changle Prefecture" during the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Chaoying, who had just finished a training session, sat facing Ouyang Feng, her snow-white buttocks resting on his thighs, her slender arms around his neck, her long legs locked around his waist, her chin resting on his shoulder, her eyes hazy, and she whispered with a sweet breath.
Ouyang Feng put his arms around her slender and flexible waist, feeling the softness of her buttocks with his fingers, and said with a chuckle:
"How can you say it's an excuse? You've seen the reactions of the people in various places during this tour. They truly respect me, not because they are afraid of my military power."
"You use the Vajra Warrior and the magic of 'generating light' to show 'miracles'. The people all regard you as the 'Dragon King' who has come to the world, and naturally they are extremely respectful to you. But this trick is probably not going to work in the Central Plains or the Jiangnan region."
"I used this method only to adapt to local conditions, just to calm people's hearts and consolidate my rule in the shortest possible time, so as to avoid constant unrest among the people and cause too much damage to people's livelihood. Now that I have occupied the fertile land of Western Xia and ruled over two to three million people, I have more sufficient manpower and enough scholars to use. When I attack Jin in the future, I will not need to use such methods anymore."
In the future, when we attack the Jin Dynasty, there will be flying dragons blocking the sun and cannons bombarding the city. These two things alone will be enough to make the people fear and regard them as being blessed by heaven and destined by heaven. There will be no need to use the old tricks of the Western Xia anymore.
"Speaking of which, Xiaoguan is not far from Weizhou. Since it is not far from Guanzhong, and you have been away from Huashan for more than a year, and I have been away from the mountain for more than half a year, why don't you go back to Huashan to take a look? Anyway, it only takes a few days for you and me to go back and forth."
"Well. It's time to go back to Huashan and leave the Huashan mark on the bronze gate. From now on, you can go from Huashan to Xingqing Prefecture, or even to Gaochang and Baituo Mountain, through the bronze gate in an instant..."
"This bronze gate of yours is very useful for military operations. If you mark the passes and cities in Guanzhong, wouldn't it be possible to directly transport troops to the passes and cities, and then attack from both inside and outside to easily break through the city?"
"That's true. But tricks are useful, but they are hard to convince people. Besides, I am not prepared to lead troops to fight in the future to destroy Jin and Song. All the battles will be handed over to the generals. By that time, the flying dragons will be ready to fight, and the iron cannons will be cast. The advantage will be so great that there is no need to use bronze gates to teleport and steal the city. We can set up a magnificent formation, destroy the army and break the city with ease. This will also deter the enemy to the greatest extent and make them dare not even dare to resist."
"That's true. Being defeated by a trick is always unacceptable. Defeating the enemy in a fair and square way and letting them see the insurmountable gap between you and them will wear down their arrogance."
After talking about state affairs for a while, Lin Chaoying gently swayed her waist and hips, indicating that she had rested and could practice again.
Ouyang Feng would not refuse, and he urged his Wuji true Qi to combine it with her Jade Girl true Qi, and began to practice intimately.
That night.
While Ouyang Feng was resting with his arms around Lin Chaoying, the Mirror of the Sky suddenly shone brightly in his sea of consciousness, waking him up.
He cast his mind towards the treasure mirror and saw that the seventh spirit seed that he had invested last year had fully grown. The object on which the seventh spirit seed was attached and the surrounding environment were clearly reflected on the mirror.
Ouyang Feng took a closer look and discovered that the object that the seventh spirit seed was attached to was actually just a dried peach pit.
The peach pit is half buried in the soil, surrounded by dense weeds. At the edge of the picture, a mossy stone wall can be barely seen, which looks like it is at the foot of a cliff.
"What is this place?"
Ouyang Feng observed for a long time, but did not see anything unusual about the peach pit and its surroundings.
There was not a single footprint in the weeds surrounding the peach pit, as if there was no human presence there.
The insects and mosquitoes in the grass all look very ordinary, nothing special about them.
"What kind of world is this?" Ouyang Feng was puzzled, but the surrounding environment seemed safe, so he was not in a hurry. He just waited for seven days, when the space-time channel was completely opened and stabilized, and then he would go there in person to find out.
The next morning.
Ouyang Feng and Lin Chaoying left Changle Prefecture and went to Xiaoguan. After passing Xiaoguan, they entered Guanzhong along the Xiaoguan Ancient Road.
With their current pace, if they set out early in the morning, they would have returned to Huashan when the sun sets.
Ouyang Feng left the mountain last summer and just came back this autumn. It has been more than a year since he left the mountain.
Strolling inside the mountain gate, looking at the sect that he had led all the disciples to build with his own hands, and listening to Baoqin chattering about the changes in the past year and the progress of the disciples, Ouyang Feng felt very warm in his heart.
At the same time, it was also decided to build another Huashan Sect in the Zhangshan Mountain in Dongtianfudi.
From now on, Huashan Sect will be divided into two sects, the inner and outer sects, based on loyalty, cultivation, and contribution.
Outer sect disciples practice in the Huashan sect. If they pass the assessment, they can be promoted to the inner sect and practice in the blessed land.
When he was practicing at night, he told Lin Chaoying about this idea. Lin Chaoying laughed and said that in the future, Huashan Sect would not only be the number one holy place in the martial arts world, but also a true immortal sect. Who knows how many people would fight to be accepted into Huashan Sect.
Ouyang Feng said that since it was an immortal sect, they could not be as careless in accepting disciples in the future as they did in the beginning.
In the future, even when accepting disciples from outside the sect, we have to be more strict, and both character and talent are indispensable.
After talking about the sect, Lin Chaoying suddenly asked him when he would bring Yang Guifei to the cave to let her see the beauty of the "flower-shy" beauty. Ouyang Feng fooled her with a few laughs, and in order to prevent her from asking more questions, he quickly practiced with all his strength, which really made Lin Chaoying confused and forget everything.
In the next few days, Ouyang Feng and Lin Chaoying continued to stay in Huashan to guide Baoqin and the disciples in their practice.
On the seventh day after the seventh spirit seed grew, the space-time channel of the new world was completely stabilized. Ouyang Feng was ready, and with a thought, he descended into the new world.
……
The peach core that the seventh spirit seed was attached to was indeed under a cliff.
There was a peach tree not far away, with a few peaches scattered on it, all of which were bluish-white in color and did not seem to be ripe yet.
The essence of heaven and earth here is extremely abundant and pure, much more than that of any blessed place.
Of course, after Ouyang Feng arrived here, the blessed land began to spontaneously breathe in the essence of heaven and earth, rapidly increasing the concentration of the essence of heaven and earth in the cave, and catching up with this place.
Ouyang Feng lifted up the dried peach core that the Tongtian Spirit Seed was attached to. He sensed it with his spiritual sense and tested it with his true Qi, but he did not notice anything unusual about the peach core. He did not even sense a trace of life. It was like a dead peach core. He did not know why the seventh spirit seed chose to attach itself to this peach core.
Is it possible that there is really no more suitable thing to attach to around?
Just when it was strange.
Suddenly a voice sounded in my ears:
"Hey, that young man!"
The sound came very suddenly.
When Ouyang Feng arrived earlier, he immediately used his spiritual sense to detect whether there were any living creatures around. As a result, he only found snakes, insects, rats and ants dormant in the grass, and nothing else. He did not sense any living human energy at all.
But I never expected that I would suddenly hear a human voice at this moment.
Even though he could hear human voices, he was unable to sense any living human energy.
This was enough to show that the speaker's cultivation was far superior to his, so powerful that even his powerful spiritual perception could not sense his existence.
Ouyang Feng was alert and prepared to leave at any time. His special skills such as "generating light, clones, and great strength" were also ready to be used, and the Blood Drinking Demon Sword was also ready to be displayed at any time. Then he used his naked eyes to find the source of the sound.
"Young man, here, here!"
The voice came again. Ouyang Feng locked onto the source of the sound and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a head covered with mud, weeds, and moss poking out from the foot of the cliff covered with vines about ten feet away. The head stretched its neck as high as possible and looked at him with blinking eyes.
At the same time, he raised a hairy hand and waved to him:
"Come here, young man, come here quickly!"
Looking at the furry head and hands, Ouyang Feng was stunned for a while.
After a while, he came to his senses, walked to the foot of the cliff, looked at the furry head for a long time, and murmured:
"It's a monkey!"
"Hey, I'm not an ordinary monkey!" The monkey laughed and said, "Young man, let's make a deal. How about you help me pick a few peaches to satisfy my craving?"
"..."
Ouyang Feng was silent for a while, then said:
"Why don't you come out and pick the peaches yourself?"
"I am being pressed down by the mountain. Look at me. Only my head, neck and one arm are exposed. I can't get out!"
"How long have you been suppressed?"
"It's been more than four hundred years, almost five hundred years."
"Have you violated the laws of heaven? You have been pressed under the mountain for nearly five hundred years..."
"Isn't it just a violation of the Heavenly Law? Young man, if you want to hear a story, please help pick the peaches first. After I quench my thirst and moisten my throat, I will tell you in detail the story of how I violated the Heavenly Law in anger. How about that?"
Ouyang Feng pursed his lips, went to the peach tree, found two of the whitest peaches, picked them, and came back to hand them to the monkey.
Monkey Head reached out to take the peach, bit off most of it in one bite, and wolfed down the whole peach. He savored the taste for a while with an intoxicated look on his face, then picked up another peach and chewed it slowly, as if he was reluctant to eat too fast.
Ouyang Feng found a stone, moved it over and sat down, looking at the monkey eating peach, his mood was full of complicated emotions.
The seventh spirit species is truly a force to be reckoned with when it makes a splash.
Unexpectedly, he was brought to the world of Journey to the West, and landed directly at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, in front of the Monkey King who was squatting in the bitter kiln!
Although the world of Journey to the West is mostly populated by mortals, where mortals can live quite well, isn’t the intensity of this world a bit too much for him now?
Although I have some extraordinary magical skills, my basic cultivation has not yet broken through the "external scene"...
