Chapter 189
After Wang Shichong's death, the defenders of Tongguan lost their backbone. As soon as Li Jing's army arrived, they surrendered without resistance.
With Tongguan under control, Luoyang's western gate was completely safe.
After eliminating the old, weak, disabled and low-quality soldiers, the tens of thousands of soldiers who surrendered under Wang Shichong were all incorporated.
The Wagang army increased to 100,000.
The three major corps were not moved, and Zhang Xutuo, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan were transferred out.
Their ability to command operations was not as good as Li Jing and Xu Shiji, but they were brave and unparalleled, and they were more than enough to sit in one place.
Each of the four led an army of 10,000. Zhang Xutuo guarded Tongguan, Li Jing sat in Xingyang, Luo Shixin sat in Hulaoguan, and Pei Xingyan guarded Luoyang.
Yue Zhuoqun moved the Wagang headquarters to Luoyang.
Luoyang had a palace built by Yang Guang, which saved the trouble of rebuilding the palace.
"Brother Shengjun, Shi Feixuan is here in Luoyang."
Xianxian came to the palace where Yue Zhuoqun was handling official business with great joy, and her eyes were full of excitement.
After Shi Feixuan parted with Li Shimin, she brought the four Dharma protectors of the Pure Nian Zen Sect to Luoyang.
She deliberately avoided the eyes of the Wagang Army and was cautious along the way.
But her unconcealable temperament could not be ignored by everyone.
As soon as she arrived near Luoyang City, she was discovered by the Luoyang Gang.
Shangguan Long did not dare to be careless and immediately reported it to Xianxian.
Xianxian's biggest concern was to defeat this destined opponent. Now that the opportunity has finally come, her excitement is beyond words.
Yue Zhuoqun's eyes flashed with brilliance: "I forgot that the Jingnian Zen Sect is in Luoyang, and the Heshi Bi is also stored in a small bronze temple in the Zen temple. Let's go and meet the contemporary successor of Cihang Jingzhai and the monk Liaokong of the Jingnian Zen Sect."
...
The Jingnian Zen Sect is located in the southern suburbs of Luoyang. There are hundreds of buildings in the temple, comparable to a small city.
There are seven halls with golden glazed roofs in the middle of the temple. At the end of the main road in the middle of the hall, there is a bronze Buddha Hall that is three meters wide and one and a half meters high.
The door of the hall is also made of bronze, weighing ten thousand pounds, and tightly closed.
"The Heshi Bi has a special power that can affect people's spirit.
People who don't have a clear master's luck will be affected once they touch it.
Nephew, are you sure you want to go in and take it away?" Buchi asked seriously.
The Heshi Bi was originally a piece of unpolished jade nurtured by heaven and earth. It was revered as a rare treasure during the Warring States Period. The saying "returning the jade intact to Zhao" refers to it.
But the Heshi Bi at that time had no strange properties.
It was not until Qin Shihuang Yingzheng unified the world and ordered craftsmen to carve it into a national jade seal that its properties were stimulated.
After several dynasties, the Heshi Bi's own strange properties were integrated with luck, and it brought with it a sense of imperial power.
Those who are not strong in martial arts and are not the true emperor will be affected by just approaching a few meters, let alone touching it.
At the least, they will kneel down and surrender, and at the worst, they will fall into an illusion and cannot extricate themselves, and even go crazy.
Liao Kong took over the custody of Cihang Jingzhai, but he dared not place it at will, so he could only place it in this bronze hall.
Only the airtight bronze wall can isolate the strange power emitted by the Heshi Bi.
If Shi Feixuan wants to take it away from the bronze hall, she must first pass the strange power.
"We have to take this risk." Shi Feixuan's eyes were solemn.
Monk Buchi nodded and stopped trying to persuade him.
He stepped forward with his three junior brothers and slapped the bronze door with his strong and powerful palms.
"Ka-ka-ka~"
A harsh sound rang out, and the bronze door was pushed open to a gap that could only accommodate one person.
Even so, the sense of oppression had already spread from the gap.
"We will close this door immediately after my nephew enters, and we will open it to take you out after you successfully collect the Heshi Bi."
Shi Feixuan nodded, not daring to waste time.
A white shadow flashed, and her body sank into the bronze hall.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the bronze door closed again.
Buchi and the other four Vajras did not leave, and sat cross-legged outside the bronze hall to protect Shi Feixuan.
The bronze hall was very empty, with a Buddha statue placed in the middle and an incense table in front of it.
The Heshi Bi was quietly placed on the incense table, emitting a hazy yellow light.
After Shi Feixuan entered the bronze hall, the yellow light enveloped her body before she could even stand still.
She felt a shock in her spirit, and an invisible force surged into her body, affecting her mind.
The true energy in her body began to flow uncontrollably.
She quickly sat cross-legged, using her mind to suppress the runaway true energy and fight against the Heshi Bi's force.
Time passed by, and three hours had passed since Shi Feixuan entered the bronze hall.
The four great Vajras who were guarding outside became impatient, worried about Shi Feixuan's safety.
But they did not dare to open the bronze door rashly, so they could only continueTormenting waiting.
Just then, chaotic voices came from outside the temple.
"Someone broke into the Zen temple." Bu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked angry.
As the Dharma protectors of the Jingnian Zen Sect, it is their duty to protect the stability of the Zen temple.
"The Heshi Bi is important, don't pay attention to it." Bu Ju shook his head and said, "Our Zen temple is not a second-rate small sect, and the disciples in the temple can handle it."
Jingnian Zen Sect does have the confidence to say such things.
The righteous sect is headed by Cihang Jingzhai, but it does not mean that Jingnian Zen Sect is not as powerful as Cihang Jingzhai.
Both sects were established during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and their founding masters were Tianseng and Di Ni.
It is said that Tianseng and Di Ni were originally brothers from the same sect and had a relationship, but unfortunately they were not destined to be together.
Later, when Di Ni was practicing Buddhism in the White Horse Temple, he met Xie Tiao, the first generation of evil emperor of the Demon Sect, and the two fell in love.
It was during this period that Di Ni was able to read the Daoxin Zhongmo Dafa. However, the two eventually broke up because of their differences in Buddhist and Taoist concepts.
After that, Di Ni founded Cihang Jingzhai, and combined the martial arts of the Daoxin Zhongmo Dafa with the martial arts of Buddhism to create the predecessor of Cihang Sword Canon - the Bi'an Sword Jue.
Tianseng also founded Jingnian Zen, which complemented it.
The reason why Jingnian Zen is not as famous as Cihang Jingzhai in the world is that it often appears in the role of assisting the other party, which does not mean that its strength is inferior.
Ordinary people who come to Jingnian Zen to make trouble, they really don't take it seriously.
Unfortunately, this time they misjudged the strength of the people who came.
As soon as Bu Ju's voice fell, more than a dozen disciples were blown in and fell awkwardly on the open ground of the Zen temple.
Immediately afterwards, a handsome, noble and somewhat evil man, holding a woman with a beautiful figure and a peerless face in his arms, floated in and appeared more than ten meters away from the bronze hall.
"If you talk too much, you will be slapped in the face." Yue Zhuoqun glanced at the four Vajra and said lightly.
The four Bu Chens quickly stood up and looked at the two of them as if they were facing a formidable enemy: "I'm afraid the only one with such strength in Luoyang is General Yue."
"Since you know the identity of my brother Shengjun, why don't you come forward to greet him?"
