In a split-second, a loud noise covered everything. Countless dust rose up from the ground, making it difficult for anyone to see the situation clearly. However, the sound of blades piercing through the air also came to a screeching stop.
When all the dust had settled, Shen Dexu saw that all the walls around the warehouse had collapsed. The steel and tiles on the roof collapsed, but it avoided everyone.
Wang Kunpeng and his subordinates stood outside the warehouse with two female Taoist priest s standing beside them.
Xu Yunfeng slowly walked in front of a female Taoist priest and said with a smile: "I thought everyone had forgotten about me."
Faang Zhuo patted Xu Yunfeng''s shoulder, "Why didn''t you tell me?"
"Beijing is too far away." Xu Yunfeng pretended to be relaxed, "You know how lazy I am to find someone."
The Desolation Formation passed down from the Chu State was broken by the combined efforts of Xu Yunfeng and Faang Zhuo.
"This thing didn''t happen by accident." Shen Dexu said to Wang Kunpeng, "Your Seven Star Formation will become stronger with your help."
"Not enough." There was no sign of excitement on Wang Kunpeng''s face, "It''s far from enough."
Yao Guangxiao''s Opportunities
Acoustic String of the Jin Dynasty: The Small Order of the Feathered Angle
After the water war at Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang had defeated Zhang Shicheng who was in the east and finally unified the south of China. Zhu Yuanzhang started the war with the name of Ming Zong, so after the founding of the sect, he abandoned the name "Wu" and gave the name "Ming" to the country.
In the years that followed, Xu Da was dispatched to sweep through northern China, defeat the famous general Wang Baobao of the Yuan Dynasty, flee to the north of Mo, and completely destroy the Yuan Dynasty. The Mongols, who had survived in the Central Plains for ninety-six years, returned to the north. At this point, the Great Brilliance Sect had unified the world.
In these eighteen years of Hong Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang had selected ten monks from the people, and was prepared to give them to the vassal lords as a gift. These monks looked forward to his future, because this was related to their own fate. They were all discussing in private. If they followed that vassal, they would have a better future. However, everyone disapproved of King of Yan and Ning Wang from the north. This was because these two vassal lords were also responsible for protecting the northern territories of the Ming Dynasty, and were constantly fighting the remnants of the northern army of Mongolia. In the past, it was hard to enjoy the blessings.
But in reality, he was waiting, waiting for someone. That person did not just come to change his fate, he was going to use his lifetime''s worth of revenge. This monk called Dao Yan, his lifetime of revenge, was only limited to one. He was a sect that could flourish within the art of deception, taking revenge for his master Xi Yingzhen.
Dao Yan, commonly known as Yao Guangxiao. He was the one who told Liu Bowen that after Xi Yingzhen''s defeat, he was about to bury all the chess pieces he had set up! This was the curse Xi Yingzhen had placed on him after losing to him.
As the vassal lords walked in one by one, the monks immediately fell silent, waiting for their fates to be decided. Their fates were all in their vassal lords'' hands.
Dao Yan didn''t care about the other vassal lords at all. He was only waiting for one person, and that was King of Yan Zhu Di. Only King of Yan Zhu Di was able to help him do what he wanted.
He didn''t notice Dao Yan because he didn''t care about anyone else. Zhu Di was thinking about other things, and choosing a monk was only an act of expressing filial piety. He was going to accept the orders of his father and choose a few monks to pray to Empress Ma. However, Zhu Di had never thought that such an easy-going meeting would change his life and the direction of the Empire.
Just as Zhu Di was walking past the group of monks, an old monk suddenly spoke out, his voice was soft, but Zhu Di understood immediately: "Your Highness, I am willing to follow you."
Zhu Di turned around and looked at the monk that recommended himself. This monk was already very old, why did he choose to follow him to the north? Zhu Di asked: "Why?"
The old monk was expressionless, but his eyes were blazing. "This humble monk has a great gift to present to you."
Zhu Di''s heart skipped a beat. He was already the vassal lord, what else could the old monk have as a gift that he wanted but did not have.
Zhu Di stroked his beard, "Oh, what''s the gift?"
Dao Yan spoke extremely slowly, but every word was extremely clear.
"Your Majesty, if you can use me, this humble monk is willing to give Your Majesty a white hat!"
Zhu Di looked around, he was worried that a Embroidered Uniform Guard would hear him, and then, he scolded the old monk that was speaking so arrogantly in a low voice, "Who the hell are you, do you not want your life anymore?!"
After he finished speaking, Dao Yan closed his eyes and started to meditate. He completely believed that the King of Yan would come back to find him. Sure enough, the King of Yan chose Dao Yan as his sage to pray for his, and the next day, they would leave together with his to head north towards the Peiping.
Dao Yan smiled as he smiled, "Teacher, my time has come. Although it''s not you, the number one strategist of the Great Ming Empire, it won''t be Liu Ji either, because … It must be me!
Xi Yingzhen inherited the art of deception, and the art of deception had a close relationship with the Crossroads Technique.
Dao Yan left Ying Tian and followed King of Yan Zhu Di to the Peiping.
The King of Yan seemed to have already forgotten about this old monk, Dao Yan. But Dao Yan was not in a hurry, he was waiting for the King of Yan, because the things he wanted to talk about with the King of Yan, would affect his entire clan and life. The King of Yan was still waiting, waiting for his father to die. The day that the Great Ancestor reigns, Zhu Di definitely would not dare to act rashly. So, Dao Yan could only do the same as Zhu Di, looking towards the south every night, and waiting for that day to come.
The eight-armed Nezha of the Peiping was below where Dao Yan stood. Back then, Xu Da had held Liu Ji''s image and operated in the Peiping for many years, and finally established the eight-armed Nezha''s layout. His original goal was to use Feng Shui to fight against the remnants of the northern Yuan Dynasty.
The Ming Empire occupied the north and south, while the Ying Tian occupied the south. The Peiping in the north was that of the eight-armed Nezha, which was the foundation of the Ming Empire. Liu Ji''s wishful thinking was actually an opportunity for Dao Yan to make a comeback.
The three Doyen guards had already pledged their allegiance to the King of Yan. The date of His Majesty Taizu''s return to the west approached from the south. Dao Yan needed to start planning to get the map of the Eight-armed Nezha''s layout. Dao Yan knew where this map was and was determined to get it. The Eight Armed Nezha''s layout was in the hands of Xu Da''s daughter, Zhu Di''s wife, and Princess Xu.
Finally, one evening, the sunset looked like blood as it hung on the western mountain. Dao Yan stood in his residence, deep in thought. When the King of Yan brought his follower here, Dao Yan couldn''t help but think that the Prince was even more anxious than he thought.
Dao Yan followed the King of Yan to the Peiping, and was placed in this Temple of Celebration for a few years. The Temple of Celebration wasn''t big, and had no name in the Peiping, Dao Yan became the host in name only. The monks inside the temple knew that he was a monk that King of Yan had arranged to pray for Empress Ma''s blessings, so the King of Yan did not place any importance on him. Secretly, he was extremely disdainful of Dao Yan, because although Dao Yan was dressed like a monk and had shaved his head, he had an edict for Dao Yan.
King of Yan brought his followers to the Temple of Celebration, but he did not inform them beforehand. The monks of the temple were all kowtowing on both sides of the road. When Dao Yan saw King of Yan, he immediately kneeled.
Although the material was luxurious, the color was very simple and unadorned. He was much taller than Taizu and very sturdy. Amongst all the vassal lords, the son who was the most like the Great Ancestor was him.
King of Yan''s black clothes should also be located in the northern territories, but when Dao Yan saw his slightly black clothes for the first time, he knew in his heart that he did not wait for this person for nothing. The Great Ancestor was from the Manichaeism, so after the Ming Dynasty arrived, he was still red. Perhaps Zhu Di had the thought of fighting with fire and water long ago, it was just that no one could see it, Liu Ji could see it, but he was already dead.
King of Yan had already walked in front of Dao Yan and ordered him to get up. He had been born into a military camp his entire life, and he retained the attitude of a soldier. Dao Yan stood up and looked at the King of Yan. He had promised to give the King of Yan a white hat before, and now he would make good on it. Dao Yan could clearly feel the killing intent coming from King of Yan''s body. If he said half a word wrong today, he would immediately be decapitated. But Dao Yan was not afraid, he had already thought about it, thought about it for more than ten years.
