Chapter 281 Tianxuan: Chen Ping and Li Shang...

"Uncle-master, you mean..." Xiao Ling, who was tied up like a mummy and could only move his body with difficulty, understood something when he heard Tianxuan's words and asked tentatively.

Tianxuan interrupted Xiaoling, "Yes, it's her!"

"Uncle Xiaomeng?"

"Master Xiaomeng is indeed the best candidate."

"Damn it, how could we forget about Uncle Xiaomeng!"

……

Tianxuan's words were like enlightenment, awakening Qingfeng, Xiaoling and others who had come all the way from Guanzhong. As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces blossomed with understanding, and they began to mutter to each other.

"The position of the head of Tianzong is temporarily vacant. It will be taken after Junior Sister Xiaomeng comes out of retreat." Tianxuan concluded. "As for you? Do you plan to rest for a few days and go back? Or stay in Wushuang City and spread the knowledge of Taoism?"

"this?"

"Just going back like this seems a bit..."

"How about building a Taoist temple in Wushuang City?"

……

Tianxuan's words brought the Taoist disciples, led by Taoist Qingfeng, back from the illusory future to the cruel reality. Everyone's faces were filled with emotions such as solemnity, hesitation, and embarrassment, and they murmured to themselves.

"If you want to stay, I will ask people to prepare a Taoist temple in the city for you to live in!" Tianxuan saw the changes in everyone's expressions and added.

"Then, I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Master."

Because of the prevalence of Honghuang, and the fact that Hongjun Daoist was regarded by Tianxuan as the incarnation of the Way of Heaven, he was also the founder of Taoism. Although the third volume of Honghuang, Fengshenliangjie, had just developed to the point of attacking the five passes, various factors still promoted the Taoist knowledge, and hundreds of Taoist temples appeared in the Central Plains.

Some worship Hongjun, some worship the Three Pure Ones, and some even worship the Three Pure Ones: Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu separately. However, as the source of the prehistoric times, Tianzong upholds Tianxuan's unique concept, with Hongjun Daozu as the main sacrifice and the Three Pure Ones as the accompanying sacrifices. When he heard that Tianxuan was going to prepare a Taoist temple for them, Taoist Qingfeng's eyes were filled with gratitude from the bottom of his heart, and he bowed his head.

"That's settled then. You guys go down and rest first. The Taoist temple will be ready in ten days at most."

"Here."

Taoist Qingfeng and his companions came all the way here, exhausted, and because they did not sleep last night, if they were not young and strong, they would have fainted. As Tianxuan said this, the tiredness suppressed in their hearts came over them, and they responded weakly and walked towards the guest room that Tianxuan had arranged for them.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
After seeing off Taoist Qingfeng and the others, Tianxuan's eyes flickered, filled with sadness for Chisongzi's death, and deep inside was a hint of anger, anger towards Xiaoyaozi, the indirect murderer of Chisongzi's death. However, Tianxuan did not let anger and sadness control him, and clapped his hands, making three consecutive crisp sounds.

call out!
As Tianxuan applauded, a dark figure emerged like a ghost, landed beside Tianxuan, and knelt on one knee.

"grown ups!"

A voice so hoarse that it was difficult to tell the gender was heard, and what lingered in it was not alienation or resistance, but obedience from the heart.

"Pass on my order. Within ten days, build a Taoist temple in Wushuang City." Tianxuan glanced at the Night Owl master he summoned and ordered, "Also, is there any news from Li Shang and Chen Ping?"

It has been more than a month since Li Shang and Zhou Bo, under Tianxuan's order, led 3,000 troops to the Western Regions to conquer the small country of Gumo. Initially, the two would inform Tianxuan of the latest battle report every five days, but no new battle report has been sent in for half a month. This made Tianxuan feel a little uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

"My lord, no!"

"No?" Tianxuan looked solemn and serious. ………………

Western Regions.

The night is deep and boundless.

The stars, as tiny as gems, surround a bright moon like a jade plate, making the world quiet and distant.

According to common sense, in such an atmosphere, even those who are most afraid of ghosts and darkness will inevitably feel a sense of emptiness and immerse themselves in the beautiful moonlight. However, with Gumo City as the center, within a radius of hundreds of miles, no one has even the slightest leisure to appreciate the moonlight.

boom! boom! boom!
One by one, pale and bony bodies without any flesh and empty skeletons were thrown on the ground, wrapped tightly, with even their eyes covered with cloth. The well-preserved skeletons were all human bones, and under the moonlight, the skeletons were shining with a blue light.

After each skeleton was ruthlessly thrown to the ground, the azure light lingering on the bones exploded like fireworks in later generations, overwhelming the Qin soldiers hundreds of feet away.

With the help of the bright moonlight from the sky, the true form of these blue dots of light was revealed. They were actually crystal-clear ladybugs with blue fireballs on their bodies. They flew at an incredibly fast speed. If you were hit by it, your whole body would burn. Wherever it went, a slight vibration sound came from the air, which looked indescribably mysterious and strange.

The Qin soldiers were unable to dodge. Faced with the small spots of light coming towards them, as soon as they were touched, their bodies quickly ignited with blazing flames and turned into burning firemen.

"what!"

"help!"

"No!"

……

The raging fire that started without any reason, coupled with the burning fireflies, dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Qin army. Amid the screams, the orderly formation was almost in chaos.

"Don't mess around, water it quickly!"

Seeing that his army's formation was in disarray, Li Shang's eyes turned red and he shouted loudly.

Wow!

Following Li Shang's order, the Qin soldiers untied their water bags and poured the water on the dancing fireflies and their companions who were enveloped by the flames. As expected, the flying fireflies, sometimes dispersing and sometimes gathering, with blue flames burning on their bodies, turned into wisps of green smoke as soon as they were hit by the water.

"No wonder His Majesty specifically reminded us when we set out to be on guard against the Queen of Jingjue!"

After using water to deal with these burning fireflies and successfully curbing this army of strange insects, Li Shang's military advisor, Chen Ping, looked at the fireflies gathered together like a blue cloud, and sighed.

Although the 36 countries in the Western Regions were independent, none of them had the power to annihilate the other heroes and unify the world. In addition, the terrain and topography of the Western Regions could not support a large country. However, Jingjue and Loulan, the two countries headed by women, were the two most powerful in the intelligence collected by Tianxuan.

When Li Shang and Chen Ping set out, Tian Xuan deliberately reminded them that after capturing Gumo City, they should not rush to attack other small countries around them, especially Jingjue and Loulan, and must not provoke them before he arrived. However, Gumo was a vassal state that was subject to Jingjue, and Li Shang and Chen Ping did not dare to disobey military orders, but that did not mean that the Queen of Jingjue would sit back and watch her territory being occupied by others.

"Has the firebug's weakness been discovered?"

Three hundred feet away from the Qin army's formation was the army of the Jingjue Kingdom.

Two thousand Jingjue people barely formed a military formation, but the formation was messy and there was no uniform clothing. In the center was a sedan chair with a very Western style, with light gauze hanging down to cover all four sides. In the clear moonlight, a graceful curve was looming, like a peerless enchantress that could arouse the desire of any man.

The ruler of the Jingjue Kingdom, the Queen of Jingjue!
