Chapter 168: Dangers of War (Please vote for recommendation on Monday!)
As Bei Mingzi left, the open door of the hall was closed again. The only human presence in the hall disappeared, leaving Tianxuan alone. Instantly, the already gloomy atmosphere became even more eerie, as if Tianxuan was not a Taoist disciple in seclusion in this hall, but a blood food offered to ghosts and gods by Taoists.

However, Tianxuan had no time to sense the surrounding atmosphere, as all his attention was attracted by the Art of Immortality in his hand.

Tianxuan opened the cover of the Book of Immortality, and the ghostly characters inside appeared in front of Tianxuan.

[I don’t know any of them! ]

Although Tianxuan said not long ago that Bei Mingzi was teasing him by giving him a secret book that he couldn't understand, after he really opened the Changsheng Jue, Tianxuan still expected that he could recognize some characters, which would be a help. However, the first page of Changsheng Jue was filled with characters that he didn't recognize at all.

His sharp eyes scanned the densely packed characters, but he didn't find any that he recognized.

Swish!
Unable to find any characters he recognized on the first page, Tianxuan could only turn the pages and look back. However, what followed was even more devastating. The characters written by Laozi on these pages woven with gold and silver threads that were indestructible by swords and knives were the oldest oracle bone script. Even though Tianxuan opened his eyes wide, wishing that all his skills would be mixed into his vision, turning into a raging fire that would burn the sky and boil the sea, and thoroughly penetrate every character, he still couldn't see through it.

For a moment, in the dark hall, the only sound was the faint sound of Tianxuan turning pages.

"Damn it! I can't read a word!"

The Art of Immortality was only a dozen pages long, with no pictures, and each page had about 300 to 400 words. Adding them together, there were a total of 4,000 to 5,000 words. However, Tianxuan flipped through the 4,000 to 5,000 words and 10 pages of the technique, and couldn't find even one character he recognized. Even though he had been mentally prepared, facing this cruel reality, Tianxuan still couldn't help but spit.

"It seems that, as Master said, the key to mastering the secret of longevity lies in the word 'enlightenment'."

After spitting and cursing, Tianxuan recovered and continued to turn the pages of the Changsheng Jue in his hand under the dim candlelight. Although he couldn't understand it, since Zhuangzi could comprehend profound martial arts from the Changsheng Jue, Tianxuan, who was proud of his martial arts aptitude, didn't think he was much worse than Zhuangzi.

Wow!
There were only a dozen pages in total, four or five thousand words, woven with gold and silver threads, and the complicated and profound secrets of longevity were constantly flipped in Tianxuan's hands. The sound of the pages turning gathered together and echoed in the hall, as if some incredible change had occurred in this hall, and a rootless and sourceless river suddenly appeared.

Amid the sound of pages turning, Tianxuan focused all his attention on the Changsheng Jue in his hand, ignoring everything outside. At this moment, if someone attacked him, they would easily defeat Tianxuan, who was almost defenseless! As he turned the pages, the characters he didn't recognize were memorized by Tianxuan as if they were being eaten alive.

Gradually, Tianxuan completely ignored everything in the outside world. In his world, there was only a book called Changsheng Jue, which was written by Laozi, the founder of Taoism. It was woven with gold and silver threads and was regarded as a Taoist secret treasure by Taoists!
…………

Boom!

The waves rolled in relentlessly. The fish and shrimp living in the river had no idea what was happening. They were swept away by the endless waves and left the river channel where they had lived for a long time.

"Help!"

"Flood, there's a flood!"

"Run!"

……

Under the impact of the raging flood, no matter how strong the city is, it is just a joke. In the night, a raging wave suddenly attacked the capital of Wei State, Daliang, with a devastating momentum. Daliang has been managed by Wei State for hundreds of years and is known as a strong city, but in the face of the terrifying power of nature, it can only be described in four words.

That is: vulnerable!
Although the soldiers and civilians of Daliang City knew that the Qin army was outside the city, most people were superstitious about the city defense of Daliang City. In addition, Wang Ben's army was unstoppable on the way to attack Daliang. However, the Qin army, which numbered as many as 100,000, did not launch an attack after arriving at the city of Daliang.

Therefore, the soldiers and civilians of Wei State in Daliang City all thought that Wang Ben's army came here just to take advantage of the situation. Most people did not take the imminent Qin army too seriously. No one could have imagined that there would be a terrible flood tonight. Faced with the sudden waves, many people lost their lives without waking up from their sleep.

Although some people managed to escape, facing the surging waves, both the military and civilians lost their courage. The shrill screams and wails broke the silence of Daliang City under the night, suppressing the roar of the waves. There was endless despair inside, as if playing a dirge for the Wei Kingdom. "Hahaha."

outside the city.

The Qin army had moved their camp to a higher ground a few days ago. When the dam broke and the water was released, the waves, with endless power, descended on Daliang City like the wrath of heaven. Although most of the 100,000 Qin soldiers were awakened from their sleep, they were not greatly affected. In the night, torches made of grease were lit, reflecting the faces of the Qin army commander Wang Ben and his generals.

Wang Ben, who was dressed in armor and looked very powerful, held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his hand, overlooking the scene of Daliang City being washed away by the flood, and laughed continuously. The generals of the Qin army accompanying Wang Ben were infected by Wang Ben's laughter and laughed one after another. They gathered together, laughing with endless excitement, showing their arrogance as victors and their contempt for the Wei people.

"There are 30,000 soldiers and 10,000 tons of food in the city!"

After a while, Wang Ben stopped laughing, but his brows were still filled with genuine pride.

"If we attack normally, it will take at least a year and a half to conquer it. And that's without Qi and Chu sending troops. Now I only need a flood to make 30,000 Wei soldiers stand on the roofs, their morale is completely lost; ten thousand dan of grain has also fed the fish and shrimp in the water."

"As long as King Wei is not crazy, he will definitely open the city and surrender! The great feat of destroying the country has been accomplished!"

"That's what the general said."

"When the general returns victoriously, the king will surely reward him handsomely."

"Since Lord Ziling, there has been no more talented people in Wei. Otherwise, we wouldn't have won so easily!"

……

Wang Ben's words were recognized by the officers around him. Some of the older people even recalled the Xinling Lord Wei Wuji, who was once regarded as a serious threat by the Qin State, and sighed.

…………

"Father, did you see this? The Wei Kingdom is dead!"

The night was hazy, the Wei people were panic-stricken and at a loss, while the Qin army was full of pride. However, on another high mountain a dozen miles away from Daliang City, a beautiful and delicate girl dared to come to this chaotic place alone. She ignored the cold night wind and took the danger that could come at any time lightly. She looked at Daliang City under the flood with her beautiful eyes without blinking, and murmured with her pink lips.

Endless emotions are condensed in the short words: joy, pain, sorrow and so on are entangled together.
