Daming prepares the emperor

Zhang Zhongzheng was doing this while standing on a burning boat.

In addition to suppressing demons, the main job of Taoist priests is to pray for rain. As a large agricultural country, the people's yearning for good weather has always been warm and sincere. Except for evil spirits and crooked ways, serious monks can use spells about the weather.

It couldn't be easier to stop the wind this time.Even if a small Taoist boy is invited from a small country temple, he still knows some related spells.

But in the present situation, these are not applicable.The black flood dragon violated the rules and set off a storm, intervening in the dispute of human destiny and destiny. It was a big treason and deserved death. The lightning strike was the embodiment of punishment.When thunder strikes, it will die without a doubt, and its soul will be scattered.

But by virtue of the secret technique it got from Gao Bailing, it used a whole dragon palace monster as a scapegoat, and it ran away in an instant, which really disgusted others.

Hei Jiao's actions are like throwing a hedgehog at the opponent with gloves on in a volleyball match. If you want to catch it, you have to bleed your hands.

Zhang Zhong decided to bleed.

He held the Dao Jue Seal with one hand, and drew the Dao Talisman in the air with the other hand. To be on the safe side, he drew it very carefully, so he couldn't bleed and disappear, okay?It must be effective.

By the time Zhou Dian stepped out of the sea of ​​flames, he had already thrown the talisman into the air.When Zhou Dian came to his side, the Taoist talisman had already emitted ten thousand golden lights, and the invisible magic power enveloped Xifeng, preventing it from getting any closer.When Zhou Dian made a sound, the wind stopped.

Layers of dense wind slowed down gently, like a summer rainstorm, which came and went quickly, and ended abruptly, leaving only a mess.

"Zhang Zhong!" Zhou Dian said eagerly.

The red light reflected from the sea of ​​fire shone on his face, combined with the heat wave and choking black smoke, Zhou Dian's expression looked even more distorted and anxious.

"Alive, still alive..." Zhang Zhong's legs gave way, and he fell down slumped, being held in Zhou Dian's arms, he waved his hands weakly.

"What can you do? Just let me do it!"

"You? Can you do this well?" Even though he was so weak, Zhang Zhong still couldn't forget to scold Zhou Dian.

"I won't argue with you!" Zhou Dian straightened him up, resting his palms on Zhang Zhong's back, imitating the tricks of the Jianghu people to help him use his mana, "Your skills should be left behind! It's nothing to be injured now ?”

"Heh." Zhang Zhong coughed and spat out a pool of blood, all of which fell on his clothes.

The cassock is not stained with mortal dust or dirt, and even if the master's blood falls on it, it will not leave traces. The bright red blood rolled down like a round gemstone, and sprinkled drop by drop into the fire.

Zhou Dian didn't plan to take Zhang Zhong out for the time being. He was injured and needed to adjust his breath. Both of them practiced well. They were not afraid of cold, heat, water and fire. It didn't matter if they stayed here, and it happened to save some mortals from disturbing them.

"Pindao, Pindao is injured now for your own good." Zhang Zhong whispered, clutching his chest, "Look at you crazy man with thin arms and legs, if you come to bear the punishment of heaven, I'm afraid you'll get over it all at once. The apprentice's father is looking for a rich man from the poor daoist, how embarrassing the poor daoist is."

"Fuck!" Zhou Dian wished he could withdraw his hand and paste it on his forehead, so as to cure this unforgiving old man, "You wipe off your blood first before you speak!"

In such a short period of time, Zhang Zhong spit up more and more blood, like a broken faucet, which couldn't be stopped.

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, just vomit for a while, cough, cough, cough, just vomit for a while."

Zhou Dian was angry and funny: "If you spit again, you will spit it out! An empty pocket, just waiting to die!"

The word "pocket" touched Zhang Zhong's keen nerves. He took out his wine gourd from his arms with trembling hands, poured out the wine inside, turned it into a big wooden basin with his backhand, and handed it to Zhou Dian.

"Quick, come on."

"What next?"

"Next, don't waste the blood of the poor! You can still use it to draw talismans later!"

"You, you! You really are!" Zhou Dian trembled angrily, and his heart was filled with anger. At the same time, he couldn't refuse his request, for fear that he would do something whimsical and actually put the basin on the ground. Zhang Zhong's mouth.

When Zhu Biao broke through the sea of ​​flames and ran in, the first thing he saw was the half-filled basin in Zhou Dian's hand.

"...Master?"

Confused, Zhu Biao hurried over to take over Zhou Dian's position, and said nervously, "Master, are you the one who stopped the wind?"

"Well——" Zhang Zhong responded in a low voice, although his body hurts, he felt at ease, enjoying the feeling of being cared by his apprentice.

"Go, Master, let's get out of here first."

Zhu Biao found that Zhang Zhong's condition was very serious, so he quickly moved closer, fully supported him, and led the others to stand up: "Be careful, go back and lie down first."

They quickly found a clean cabin, Zhu Biao supported Zhang Zhong to lie down, covered him with a quilt, frowned and said: "Master, if I give you a half-time job, can you avoid punishment? "

Zhang Zhong was taken aback, and said with a smile, "Want to be my boss?"

Zhou Dian was pouring hot water for him, when he heard this, he kicked him angrily: "What nonsense, what kind of person is the young master? Besides, you don't even think about whether your brain can be an official!"

"No way, apprentice, don't think of this way." Zhang Zhong smiled, "I have lived for many years as a teacher, and some people say that it is all a joke that the poor Taoist lived from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present. "

Zhu Biao didn't understand why Zhang Zhong said this, but he nodded naturally when he heard the joke. He had to live from the Spring and Autumn Period, and it has been more than 1000 years now. How can...

"But it's not much different."

"……what?"

"How old are you, apprentice? Even if you are talented and talented, you are still young! If you want to be a teacher or an official, you will find time for this mana."

"To put it bluntly, the Taoist monks in the entire Yingtian Mansion combined can't compare to being half a teacher!"

Zhang Zhong Anran lay under the quilt, put his hands outside, and said quietly: "This little injury will heal soon, what a shame! I have accepted you as an apprentice, so naturally I should do my best, although I am not very good at teaching— Cough cough, this is not important, but if you can help your father, it can be regarded as taking responsibility!"

"Master..." Zhu Biao moved, "Master used to be free in the mountains and rivers, and didn't have to swim in the muddy waters that the world fights for. The meeting in Yanque Lake that year was because the apprentice got the favor, got the opportunity, and I took advantage of it. How could the master do that?" Say something like that."

"Okay, okay, let Pindao rest for a while, and it will be fine in the evening." Zhang Zhong closed his eyes, "As you grow old, Pindao will be fine. Good apprentice, go and see your father."

"Master, there will be nothing wrong with my father. He has counselors and generals watching over him." Zhu Biao said, "I can't help even if I go, I'll take care of you first. I'll give you what you want to eat and what you need..."

This sentence was interrupted by Zhou Dian, Zhou Dian came to the side of the bed without knowing what, pushed Zhu Biao, coaxed him out of the door, and said: "Go, go , go and see the handsome man."

They rushed to drive Zhu Biao away, not wanting him to feel guilty about it.

Zhu Biao was pushed out just like that, and watched the door close in front of him.

He had no other place to go, so he lingered a few steps at the door, so he had to go to Zhu Yuanzhang's main ship to have a look.

After walking two steps, he heard a little movement in the room.

"Crazy Zhou, have you seen that my disciple loves me dearly?"

"That's the young master's kindness and kindness. If the puppy coughs in front of him, he feels distressed. Don't put gold on your face."

noisy again.

It seems that the master has a good idea.Thinking so, Zhu Biao rushed to Comrade Zhu.

As soon as he got on the boat, he was pulled into the cabin by Liu Ji who had been waiting for a long time.

The inside was full of people, lined up in two rows, and Comrade Zhu had obviously not arrived yet, and they were chatting in bits and pieces.Zhu Biao looked forward and saw Xu Da and Chang Yuchun standing at the very end.

Liu Ji dragged him into the inner room. This is where Zhu Yuanzhang stayed. Of course the guards at the door knew that Liu Ji's status was unusual, and seeing Zhu Biao behind him, they were naturally willing to let them in.

"How is the priest?"

"It's still energetic."

Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "I wronged him to deal with the black flood dragon. I didn't expect Gao Bailing to be so vicious and use such a poisonous trick before the critical moment."

"Sir, this is the first time I've seen God's punishment come back." Zhu Biao paused, "How long will it take Master's injury to heal? He told me soon, but I don't look optimistic."

Liu Ji was also not sure about this: "It varies from person to person. Daoist Zhang's mana is powerful and unfathomable. It is true that he will get better soon, but I can't figure out how fast. After all--heavenly punishment is still rare, There are no records."

"Is there a way to cure it?"

Liu Ji shook his head: "Maybe it's okay to lose some mana. I don't think there will be any hidden injuries. If we want to heal, we may ask the two big monsters in Zhongshan."

"Zhu Zhijie and Huang Xiuzhu?"

"Then what price will Gao Bailing use to offset the thunder disaster?" Zhu Biao told Liu Bowen about seeing the black flood dragon, "It doesn't look like it's injured, it's just a little bit embarrassed. Come out and pass on the punishment."

"I thought that Gao Bailing would use Chen Youliang's soldiers."

"He didn't."

"Yes." Liu Ji stroked his beard, "so I think he probably did not know where to prepare enough vitality and yin energy. There may be reserves in that city that we don't know about."

To be honest, Zhu Biao thought so too.

"I was able to deduce some of the whole story after the lightning strike today." Liu Ji looked calm, and did not forget to educate Zhu Biao, "This is a common thing. After you learn the art of hexagrams, you should not be too serious. Over-reliance, over-confidence, everything needs to be three-pointed."

Zhu Biao first expressed that he was open-minded to be taught, and then asked, "What did you figure out?"

"Young master, do you know that there is a dragon palace at the bottom of the water?"

"I know, on the first day I came to Poyang Lake, I used these eyes to look around."

"After that thunderstorm, I poured mana into a leaf and sent it to sink to the bottom of the lake to investigate—"

"How about it?"

"There is no life at all."

"They're all dead?" Zhu Biao was shocked.

"Maybe that dragon palace was prepared for today's situation, maybe the monsters inside were waiting to die today."

Liu Ji's complexion was ugly, and he wanted to say something more, but the outside suddenly became silent, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, bowed his hands to Zhu Biao, and opened the curtain to go out.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang who came.

Zhu Biao moved a chair against the wall and sat down, so that he could hear the content of the meeting clearly later.

"Let's not say anything redundant."

Zhu Yuanzhang strode towards the main seat, and after sitting down, he threw out a secret report and threw it directly to Xu Da.

Xu Da unfolded the secret report, read ten lines at a glance, and handed it to Chang Yuchun.

Chang Yuchun also read it, frowned and said, "Marshal, what does this Chen Youliang mean?"

Seeing the different expressions of the two of them, the people below couldn't help whispering, looking at each other, guessing what information surprised the two generals.

"We can't see his way clearly." Zhu Yuanzhang tapped the table with another secret report in his hand, and made a sound, "It's unheard of to connect the boat with an iron rope."

At this time, Liu Ji finished reading the news sent to him, and stood out of the queue to express his opinion: "Commander, according to my opinion, although this method is absurd, it is indeed useful. If the iron chain connects the boats, the enemy can give full play to its advantages, and the huge With the ships entering and exiting at the same time, it is difficult for our small boats to ambush them."

Xu Da also figured out some ways: "The military adviser is right. They can stretch for several miles behind the ship, and their power will be multiplied by several times. They will advance and retreat more bravely than before. If our army is not careful, it will be defeated." Disappear completely."

"If we can't keep the army formation at that time, it's over." Chang Yuchun concluded.

"But……"

A counselor standing behind spoke.

Everyone's eyes are all looking back.

"But the iron chain connects the boat, if there is any spark, wouldn't they burn it immediately?"

Xu Da said: "Then there must be an east wind. They attack faster, and our army is defeated first. How can we make a fire attack?"

Liu Ji continued: "Therefore, Chen Youliang's idea is actually very ingenious. Although it is risky, it is full of courage."

Chang Yuchun said: "Today, the westerly wind is blowing by coincidence and helped them. I don't believe that God won't help us! Fengshui must take turns!"

Xu Da and Liu Bowen looked at each other, then at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at the two of them.

Chang Yuchun felt that the atmosphere was not right, he was a little dazed, he didn't know what he said wrong, he said awkwardly: "Marshal..."

"Okay, what to do." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand outside the door, "Tomorrow we will deal with the chain boat, so I urge my subordinates to prepare early."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

"You two stay."

Xu Da and Liu Ji followed Zhu Yuanzhang into the inner room.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the decoration had changed, and knew that Zhu Biao had been there, so he didn't ask at the moment, and continued to have a small meeting with them.

As for Zhu Biao, he left the cabin door when he heard the word Dongfeng, and walked outside and stood alone.

Unknowingly, it was already dark in the middle of the sky, the bright moon was hanging high, the lake was sparkling, and the damp breath from the water's edge beat over one after another, covering Zhu Yuanzhang's main ship.

The steaming heat unique to summer made Zhu Biao a little irritable.

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the suffocation and depression of breaking into deep water, put his hands on a fence, and thought about the current situation.

Everything that happened since he left home flashed before his eyes, sorted and connected spontaneously.

Mu Shisan, Zhao Qingya, Fengdu Ghost City, Dragon Slaying Sword, Stone Bridge, Fan, Black Flood Dragon...

Suddenly, he had a plan, just like Chen Youliang's chain boat, although it was risky, it would achieve unprecedented results after success.

The enemy dares to fight, why can't I?

Dongfeng!

Catch that dragon!

If it can set off the west wind, it can also set off the east wind!
