Chapter 7 Chen Jianchou

The war in Ise was over, but the war in Fenglinzhou was not over yet. In addition to pressuring the royal family to surrender, there was another thing that needed to be resolved.

Before the February offensive, Qingwei Zhenren personally drew up a list, mainly targeting the various ghosts and gods in Fenglinzhou, divided into three parts: those who can be recruited, those who must be eliminated, and those who will not be moved for the time being. Not to mention the part that will not be moved for the time being, the top three of the part that can be recruited are Tamamonomae, Suzuka Gozen, and Ibaraki Douji. Now that these three parties have all surrendered, it can be said that Taoism has initially achieved its goal in recruiting, and the next step is to solve the part that must be eliminated.

First, we need to define what must be eliminated. One is those who are stubborn and resolutely stand on the opposite side of Taoism, and the other is that they cause great harm to a certain area, affect the safety of civilians, and hinder farming and trade. ..

There is a big monster that just occupies both of these points-Yamata no Orochi.

First of all, Yamata no Orochi is controlled by Tianmen, and unlike Tamamonomae, he does not have the relationship background of Qingqiu Mountain, so he naturally stands firmly on the opposite side of Taoism.

Secondly, the Yamata no Orochi had been entrenched in Izumo for many years, not only blocking traffic, but also eating people alive, which was considered to be a huge hazard.

So the Taoist sect decided to kill the Yamata no Orochi and get rid of this scourge. The story of Susanoo killing the Yamata no Orochi was sung for thousands of years. After the Taoist sect successfully killed the Yamata no Orochi, it was natural to publicize it and strengthen the orthodoxy and legitimacy of the Taoist sect's rule.

In fact, the people in the East have always been very realistic. What is the destiny is just a verbal shout. In their bones, they do not recognize the divine right of the king, let alone the bloodline. Haven't you heard that the kings, princes, generals and ministers are of different species? Whether it is orthodox or not, the key lies in merit. Either it is to expand the territory externally or to let the people live and work in peace and contentment internally. This is meritorious and the greatest orthodoxy.

The Taoist sect naturally also has this consideration.

So after the successful conclusion of the February offensive, Qingwei Zhenren asked the Zanhua of the camp to draft a preliminary plan for killing the Yamata no Orochi.

For the Taoist sect, killing the monsters in the longevity stage is not a big deal. First, monsters cannot be compared with humans. With the same realm and cultivation, immortals are always stronger. Second, there are not a few immortals or monsters who died in the hands of the Taoist sect. The dragon clan was almost killed, and the Taoist sect was already familiar with it, not to mention a mere Yamata no Orochi.

Throughout the ages, the organized are better than the unorganized.

So after receiving the order, the Zanhuas read the various files of Fenglinzhou Daofu, Toyotomi Xiangfu, and Ise Jingu, sorted out the various magical habits of Yamata no Orochi and the geographical conditions of Izumo, and transferred the dragon-slaying plan of the year from Yujing, and then modified it on the basis of the dragon-slaying plan, and a preliminary plan to kill Yamata no Orochi was completed. However, the Taoist high-level leaders such as Qingwei Zhenren will discuss, review and modify it in the future.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu did not participate in the drafting of the plan because they were approved to rest. Yao Pei was mainly responsible for this aspect.

Every profession has its own specialty. "Heavenly calculation" is not only used to fight with others, but also can be used in other aspects, including but not limited to playing chess and cards. Yao Pei's calculation power is just right for this kind of written work that requires a lot of data to support it.

In this regard, there are not many records in Toyotomi Xiangfu and Fenglinzhou Daofu, and more are about Izumo Province. However, Ise Jingu has a lot of records about Yamata no Orochi, which is the benefit of conquering Ise first.

After the fall of Ise Jingu, all the files and archives inside it were received by the Taoist sect, and there were also many people who turned against the Taoism, which provided great help in this regard.

According to common sense, except for immortals, the more powerful the existence, the more profound the impact on its environment.

In the past, when the Taoist sect had not slaughtered dragons on a large scale, dragons often landed on the shore. Wherever they passed, there were heavy winds and rains, even violent storms and floods. If they were not careful, they would be a thousand miles of marshland. This is the impact of dragons on the environment.

When Luwu God shows his true form, the huge amount of blood and heat generated unintentionally during his breathing can burn all ghosts and spirits. If Luwu God stays in one place for too long, the plants there will absorb Luwu God's dissipated blood and produce some kind of abnormality. This is not Luwu God's original intention, but Luwu God's existence itself naturally affects everything around him.

This is also the reason why there are often strange phenomena in the places where mythical beasts live, such as dragon caves and phoenix nests. There are even people who believe in dragons in legends. All the tribesmen live in the place where dragons sleep, absorbing the breath of dragons for years, and even scales grow on their bodies.

In the eyes of the Taoist sect, this is a kind of "pollution" or "infection", just like a person infected with a disease. Although this infection can make people obtain very thin dragon blood, and obtain some kind of magic and strengthen their physique, it will also change their minds, making them worship and obey the dragons, just like people killed by tigers will turn into ghosts, which is equivalent to puppets.

At that time, there were a large number of strange beasts named "Tu Lu" around Lu Wushen, with sheep heads and four horns, and a large number of divine birds named "Qin Yuan", which looked like bees and were as big as mandarin ducks. Once stung by it, any bird or beast would die, and any tree would wither. This is actually the result of some birds and beasts being contaminated by the blood of Lu Wushen, and they all became like this.

The difference between immortals and divine beasts and monsters is that they know how to hold back, and even as early as the heavenly stage, they began to do so intentionally, and they paid attention to seeing a big horse and a golden sword in a small space. However, when immortals no longer deliberately restrain their own aura, various strange phenomena will also appear, such as the terrifying true body of human immortals, the golden body of the gods, and so on.

The Yamata no Orochi is no exception. The area where it is located is shrouded by a large amount of clouds and fog all year round, which confuses perception and is equivalent to a certain formation. When Qi Xuansu and others' flying boat deviated from the direction, there may be some human factors, and this cannot be ruled out. Due to the interference of factors, even the word "cloud" in Izumo Kingdom and the word "cloud" in "Amancong Yunjian" came from this.

These clouds and mist will greatly hinder the Daomen's use of flying boats. Either the Daomen will use the mobile formation carried on the "Yinglong" to forcibly disperse the clouds and mist, or they will abandon the flying boats and launch an attack from land.

This also involves the local terrain. Qi Xuansu has been there before. It is mountainous, with high mountains and dense forests. It is difficult to transport artillery in, and it is also difficult for Xuanjia heavy cavalry to fight in the mountains.

In this case, the only way is to mobilize elite combat forces to strangle. This method is not impossible, but it is best to understand the weakness of Yamata no Orochi.

When Suzhanwu Zun killed the Yamata-no-Orochi, he had not yet become a god. The reason why he was able to kill the Yamata-no-Orochi alone was because he got the Yamata-no-Orochi drunk first.

This has to mention a very magical thing, which Tianmen calls "spiritual poison and ghost poison wine", the meaning is straightforward and simple. Two people once fell into this trap. The first one was Yamata-no-Orochi, who was drunk and killed by Su Zhanwu Zun, who had not yet become a god. The second one was Shuten Doji, who also died after drinking the "divine poison wine". He got drunk and was eventually decapitated in his drunken state.

However, Taoist sects cannot use this trick, and not to mention that Taoist sects do not have such a thing as "spirit poison wine". Even if there is, it is impossible for Yamata no Orochi to be fooled a second time after it has been fooled once. You know, whether Suzhanwu Zun or Genji, they will first gain the trust of the other party, make the other party relax their vigilance, and then trick them into drinking the "spirit and ghost poison wine" instead of force-feeding the wine. If there is force-feeding, With his own ability, he can naturally kill him directly.

Looking at the many great demons defeated by Tianmen and the imperial family, except for Tamamo Mae who was besieged to death, the other great demons all lost unjustly. Yamata no Orochi and Shuten Doji were killed after being drunk, and Otakemaru was killed. He fell into a beauty trap and lost the "Sanming Sword". It can be seen that state cultivation is never the only factor that determines victory or defeat.

Yao Pei and other Zanhua unanimously believed that it was basically impossible to kill the Yamata no Orochi through deception. If you want to imitate the siege of Tamamo Mae, not to mention whether the "public opinion" within Domen can accept the large number of casualties that may occur, geographical factors do not support this method. So the final plan was to use a small number of elites to kill Yamata no Orochi.

The elites here are at least heavenly and above.

However, the first-level celestial beings can only be used as a containment, and the main attacker must be a pseudo-immortal or a created celestial being.

The Yamata-no-Orochi, as its name suggests, has eight heads. According to the records of Ise Shrine, these eight heads can continue to regenerate. Unless all eight of its heads can be chopped off at the same time, it will be difficult to kill the Yamata-no-Orochi.

This requires eight masters of the first level of pseudo-immortals or created gods, each holding a half-immortal-level weapon. When the other gods restrain the Yamata no Orochi, they take action at the same time and cut off the corresponding heads.

As for Zhenren Qingwei, he has many things to do and wants to focus on the royal family and will not personally participate. The great master Zhang Qihan will go to the Satsuma Domain to meet the Satsuma swordsman. This time, the master of the Fenglinzhou Taoist House, the master of the Fenglinzhou Dao Mansion, Jing Tianming, will be responsible for killing the Yamata no Orochi.

This Master Shenzhi has a close relationship with the royal family. His ancestor was the founding hero of the Daxuan Dynasty. He once served as the real person in charge of Liaodong Taoist government. Later, the situation in Fenglinzhou continued to deteriorate, and he was transferred to Fenglinzhou as the real person in charge. , acts more vigorously and resolutely, but Fenglinzhou Taoist Mansion is special. The real person in charge is the person with the greatest power. After Zhenren Qingwei arrived in Fenglinzhou, Zhenren Qingwei was the main one, so the existence of this real person in charge The feeling is not very high.

Yao Pei drafted a list. In addition to the real person in charge of the palace, Jing Tianming, who personally went into battle, there were also the second deputy palace owner Li Tiangang, the third deputy palace owner Yun Fengxing, and two first-grade spiritual officers, namely Jiachen Lingguan and Ding Wei. Lingguan and Jiashenlingguan are responsible for commanding the army and cannot participate. The Chief Deputy Palace Master, Tamamozen and others have their own errands, and Suzuka Gozen cannot leave Suzuka Mountain. At most, there is another Yagyu Munamasa, which is still two people short. Yao Pei and Li Changge can be considered a good fortune, but there is still one person missing.
