Chapter 354: Drawing a Path (5)
"Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha right now!"
"Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha right now!"
"Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha right now!"
The five-colored light shield was like colored glaze, covering the entire Hellfire City. Within the five-colored light shield, there were even more strands of golden light, which entwined into a lotus ten thousand-character Buddha seal, condensing into a number of Vajra Dharma images.
From time to time, dull roars were heard from within the light shield; it was someone attacking violently.
However, the light shield was very solid. The roaring sound continued, but there was not even a ripple on the light shield, as if the attack did not exist.
Outside the light shield, floating warships came and went, some were suspended sparsely around, and some officials and soldiers on the deck were jumping, shouting, and chattering incoherently.
Occasionally, a warship roared, spitting out powerful beams of fire and lightning to bombard the light shield.
From time to time, officials of the Yan Dynasty dressed in gorgeous clothes would use various magical weapons to bombard the light shield.
On the ground, there were military formations of varying sizes gathering from all directions. They shouted loudly and bombarded the light shield frantically, but they also could not cause much impact on the light shield.
From high in the sky, there were often very thin streaks of fire whistling in, crashing into the light shield, and then exploding into large sparks, revealing documents and letters that were activated by secret techniques.
These official documents and letters all came from various parts of the Yan Dynasty and were official documents submitted to Hellfire City by officials from various places.
According to the rules of the Yan Dynasty, every important official document from all over the country must be sent to Hellfire City through three channels: a special document transfer array, a special secret messenger, and a special secret method of transmission. This is to prevent any one of the channels from going wrong, resulting in the loss of important documents and the omission of important events.
The colorful light shield blocked the void, so the teleportation array was useless.
All the official documents that were transmitted through the air using a secret method were shattered by the colorful light shield.
The secret messengers who were responsible for the manual delivery of official documents stood blankly outside the colorful light shield, looking at the blocked Hellfire City, not knowing what to do!
The special training they received included various methods of fighting or fleeing for their lives to protect the safety of official documents. However, no special training program told them how to break the ban and send the official documents into the Hellfire City if the Imperial Capital Hellfire City was blocked by a powerful enemy.
Within seven days, the news that Hellfire City was blocked by an unknown formation had spread in all directions.
In the counties and prefectures that are close to Hellfire City, local officials have already sent people to gather information. There are even civil and military officials who have brought local garrisons to Hellfire City to "serve the king and protect the emperor"!
Those warships floating in the air belong to the garrison of "Protecting the King".
But no matter whether they came to gather information, to protect Huo Yu, or to show their presence and loyalty in front of the officials in the court, no matter what means they used, they could not do anything about this layer of colorful light shield.
Those who are isolated outside the light shield are fine.
The most miserable ones were Huo Yu and a group of court ministers who were trapped in the light shield for seven days.
Lu Yi sat cross-legged in the air, chanting various Buddhist scriptures every day as if he had a toothache. At the same time, there were hundreds of thousands of voices of different sizes, thickness, roughness and femininity, constantly "buzzing" in their ears, chanting "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha right now."
Whether he was eating, sleeping, walking, or even wanting to be intimate with his concubine secretly, these overlapping humming sounds kept buzzing in his ears, disturbing him to the point of almost driving him crazy.
For seven days, Huo Yu and the three ancestors of the royal family, together with all the civil and military officials in the court, and hundreds of thousands of elite troops stationed in Yuhuo City, used all kinds of means and frantically attacked the formation set up by Lu Yi, but they were still unable to do anything about it!
On the contrary, during these seven days, some middle and low-level officials and soldiers who were not good enough in cultivation and character had already developed a hint of the dignified charm of Buddhist monks, and if they were not careful, they would start by saying "Buddha have mercy on me"!
It was obvious that they were about to be converted by Lu Yi's ear-piercing devilish sound... Oh, no, it was the Buddhist's universal salvation divine sound!
As for the ordinary people of Hellfire City...
Well, it's more serious.
The common people of Hellfire City, regardless of gender, age, wealth or poverty, all sat cross-legged on the ground, imitating the great monks in meditation. Most of the people had a faint Buddhist charm flowing through them, and a trace of Buddhist power was flowing in their bodies.
The common people in the city were simply unable to resist Lu Fu's forced conversion. They immediately became his devout followers and began to practice the first Vajra Dharma Image technique of the Great Vajra Temple that Lu Fu had injected into their minds.
In the city area covered by the five-colored light, the spiritual charm of heaven and earth is more than a hundred times stronger than usual.
In addition, with the presence of Lu Yu, a great monk who had reached the Golden Lotus realm, who used his magical powers to guide the people, the speed with which these people were able to enter the realm was extremely fast.
However, Huo Yu and the others couldn’t care less about this.
The Hellfire City is hundreds of miles in radius, and there are tens of millions of people in the city. Once they have all achieved success in Buddhist cultivation and have sufficient cultivation base... haha, it is hard to imagine what the consequences will be.
However, even if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became a hundred times stronger, it would still take some time for these people to achieve success in their cultivation.
What Huo Yu and his men are worried about now is that their connection with the outside world has been completely cut off, and they cannot contact the officials and the army outside by any means. The Yan Dynasty has become a headless snake and has completely lost its leader.
There is nothing to worry about in ordinary provinces, counties and prefectures.
With local officials suppressing and local troops guarding, there would be no trouble for a while. Those local officials and generals would not be stupid enough to do anything inappropriate.
But Northern Xinjiang... Northern Xinjiang... Northern Xinjiang!
The key is Northern Xinjiang!
The army of the Hyun Dynasty is currently conquering cities in the Northern Frontier. Huo Yu and his men were discussing how to fight back against the army of the Hyun Dynasty... Without the overall command of the Hellfire City, the Northern Frontier can't expect any reinforcements, let alone any food supplies!
Without reinforcements, without supplies, and without the orders from Hellfire City, Northern Frontier is like a daughter-in-law who has been stripped of her clothes, at the mercy of the court, doing whatever it wants, and manipulating three hundred and sixty little people.
According to the estimates of Huo Yu and several important ministers, one year, just one year, would be enough for the Xuan Dynasty to annex the entire northern border, and the Xuan Dynasty army could directly march to the north gate of Yuhuo City.
In fact, the first line of defense before the Northern Frontier is the Zhenbei Army, and the second line of defense is Liuhuo City, Fuhuo City, etc. The entire Yan Dynasty’s northern army is basically concentrated in these two places.
Apart from these two lines of defense, there are no more than a few thousand permanent soldiers stationed in other cities to maintain daily law and order.
Thousands of soldiers and horses...what can they do facing the aggressive Hyeon Dynasty?
How can we resist the invading army of Xun Dynasty if we don't transfer elite troops from other directions of Yan Dynasty to the north?
However, Lu Yu sealed off the entire Hellfire City, and they completely lost contact with the outside world. For seven whole days, they frantically attacked Lu Yu's formation, but they couldn't break it... they couldn't break it!
In just seven days, Huo Yu's lips were burned by the heat in his heart, forming a circle of blisters.
Finally, early in the morning of the eighth day, Huo Yu, with a disheveled face, gritted his teeth, stepped on a dim fire cloud, and came in front of Lu Yi with some difficulty.
He looked at Lu Yi with a gloomy face and bowed to him: "Master Fahai... please tell me, what do you want to do..."
Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the golden clouds with blazing light, looking at Huo Yu with a smile: "For the sake of the people of the world, please let Yan Dynasty submit to Xuan Dynasty. As long as His Majesty Huo Yu issues a corresponding decree to Yan Dynasty and seals his cultivation, he will go to the northern border with me."
Huo Yu shook his head with difficulty: "Master Fahai, I can't make the decision on this matter."
He took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yi very seriously: "Master, your Buddhist teachings are profound and your magical powers are as vast as the sea. You are indeed powerful and a truly great monk of Buddhism... But even if you have great abilities, I, Yan Chao, cannot be deceived."
Lu Yi put down his hands and blinked at Huo Yu: "Yan Chao, you can't be bullied? But, am I not bullying you? Could it be that you have some tricks up your sleeve? Come on, come on, come on, use them quickly!"
Huo Yu pursed his lips and pointed at Lu Yi fiercely: "In the ancestral land of my Huo family, there is an ancestor who is in seclusion and cultivating."
Lu Yi shook his head: "You let them come."
The small Vajra Mount Xumi emitted boundless golden light. Lu Yi pointed at the thousand-foot mountain floating above his head and said calmly, "They can't break through my formation. What can they do? I will wait for them here."
Huo Yu took a deep breath: "Behind our Yan Dynasty is the ancient country of Yunluo. In the country, there are powerful cultivators who have achieved the Dao Condensation Fruit... Behind the ancient country of Yunluo is the Baoguang Pavilion, one of the hundred major sects in Yuanlingtian. Among them, there are even supreme beings such as Zhaoxukong and even Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm."
Huo Yu looked at Lu Yi with deep eyes: "If the Yunluo Ancient Country is alarmed, or even the Baoguang Pavilion is alarmed!"
Lu Yi pondered for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "If they alarm the Yunluo Ancient Country, there will naturally be people from the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty to deal with them... If they alarm the Baoguang Pavilion, there will naturally be Canghai Tower behind the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty to fight them."
Patting his chest gently, Lu Yi smiled and said to Huo Yu: "I am just bullying you guys."
Huo Yu was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
Shameless, so shameless.
What Lu Yu said was simply shameless to a certain extent!
However, he and the countless civil and military officials and elite soldiers in Hellfire City were simply unable to do anything about Lu Yi.
He stared at Lu Yi for a long time, then he sighed and said softly: "How much did Xuan Chao give to the master..."
Lu Wu interrupted Huo Yu and said, "Am I the kind of person who would bend down for wealth, beauty, or glory? I came here simply to help the people of the world and to end the disaster of war."
"So, put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha right now!"
Lu Yi smiled and looked at Huo Yu: "As for the other nonsense, don't say any more!"
Lu Yi smiled brightly.
Huo Yu's face drooped all of a sudden. He looked at Lu Yi and snorted, "Then you will definitely regret it...evil monk!"
Lu Yi sighed: "I'm waiting for you to make us regret it..."
"Hey, you guys are so ungentlemanly... Just now you were calling me Master affectionately, but now you're turning into a demon monk?"
"You guys are so rude!"
