Chapter 451 Kaitianmen Plan [Subscription Request]

Dao Zun and others looked into the cauldron together.

There was a sound inside the cauldron, sometimes loud and sometimes soft. When it was loud, it was like thunder striking the wall of the cauldron, and when it was soft, it was like someone whispering in the ear.

"I brought this tripod all the way back and heard strange noises many times," said Dao Zun.

Everyone looked inside from the mouth of the cauldron, as if looking down from the air.

After the chaotic energy in the cauldron dissipated, a black shadow like a mysterious bird appeared and flew in the cauldron.

And below, an ancient and vast land appeared.

"There is a world sealed inside this cauldron... is it an illusion?"

On that ground, there were many ancestors wearing animal skins, offering sacrifices and worshipping.

The sound heard outside the cauldron just now seemed to be the strange tune made by these people.

They were bowing down to a triangular loess altar.

On the stage there was a priest wearing a bird feather mask and covered in animal skins.

There is also a big tripod in front of the priest!
Following the shouts of his ancestors, he held a bronze axe and kept hitting the wall of the tripod.

A loud sound like thunder immediately erupted from the cauldron, shaking all directions.

Under the gaze of Cao Cao and others, a black shadow flying in the sky like a black bird suddenly descended and fell into the cauldron in front of the priest.

In a moment, a baby was lifted out of the cauldron by a priest wearing a bird feather mask.

The ancestors below all raised their hands and cheered and worshiped.

At this time, in the sky inside the cauldron, where the black bird was flying just now, a real dragon surrounded by purple air appeared.

Next to the real dragon stood a Taoist priest.

There is a vague black figure behind him.

"Observe! Reflect the soul."

"This Shang Wang Ding can observe!"

The real dragon in the tripod is the reflection of Cao Cao's soul when he was looking through it.

The dragon soul is the true form formed by the fusion of his luck and soul after he became an emperor.

Is that Taoist the Taoist Master?
"The first sacrificial process that appeared in the tripod was the legend of the black bird falling and the birth of the Shang king!"

Inside the cauldron, the chaotic aura was gradually sinking and condensing into liquid.

What I saw just now was like the reflection of the moon in a well, all turned into virtual images and disappeared.

Cao Cao looked towards Dao Zun.

Looking inside the cauldron, the spirit and soul were reflected, and there was a figure behind the Taoist Master.

Does he have a hidden soul aspect?

[There was once a Shang king who put the destiny of the country into a tripod. After his death, he took the tripod into the tomb. The tripod gathered spiritual energy and settled it for thousands of years, forming a little bit of earth energy, so the tripod was as heavy as a mountain.

This tripod can not only reflect the true appearance of the soul, but also contains the natural sounds of heaven and earth. During the national sacrifice, knocking on the tripod wall can stimulate the celestial phenomena and reflect the destiny of heaven and earth. It is an ancient ritual vessel and a national treasure. Sequence: 32]

Cao Cao glanced at the push notifications.

In Shang culture, the Xuanniao is immortal and can be reborn like the Phoenix.

It was precisely because this tripod could illuminate the soul and cyclically present the scene of the birth of life that it induced the idea of ​​King Shang to come back to life.

He took the tripod into the tomb, hoping to be resurrected.

[This tripod is made of copper from the nine mountains that are the same source as Yu's nine tripods, and is connected to the energy of the land veins of China]

[Where the tripod falls, the spiritual rhythm of the earth veins gathers]

[The energy in the cauldron has been accumulated for thousands of years. It is used to nourish the Qilin wood in Emperor Wu's Mausoleum, which can promote its third fruiting. It is also very beneficial for humans and animals to absorb the spiritual energy in the cauldron]

Cao Cao's mind moved, and the imperial seal above the tripod's mouth emitted a purple glow.

The breath in the cauldron was drawn out, flowing like a stream of water, toward the small lake outside the study and into the old turtle's body.

The spiritual energy in the tripod is beneficial to humans, animals, and even the Qilin wood.

Cao Cao led out a ray of light and merged it into the old turtle's body, hoping that it would produce a new turtle bead as soon as possible.

At this time, the chaotic state within the cauldron returned to its original state.

Cao Cao continued to push the imperial seal, which dropped a purple halo and merged into the cauldron, where he performed a sacrifice and refined it.

This tripod is placed in the Tongque Tower, which is just right for the fortune of the Great Wei.

Cao Cao returned to the Dragon Table and sat down.

Daozun and the other three then briefly described the process of going to the tomb of the Shang King.

"There are tens of thousands of people buried alive in the tomb. It is a burial pit and very dangerous.

We have broken the structure of the tomb and taken away the King's Cauldron. After a period of time, the evil spirit should be dissipated and peace will be restored." Daozun said.

"How is the consecration of your Buddha's relic going?" Cao Cao changed the subject.

“There’s one left.”

It is extremely difficult to sacrifice and refine the relics left by the Buddha.

It is even more difficult to intercept the good fortune and use it for your own benefit.

After the Taoist Master has offered sacrifices to all the relics, he will enter Kunlun Ruins again.

"Your Majesty, the treasures we obtained this time are huge."

Ling Jin said respectfully: "The King of Shang spent all his national and financial resources to build the tomb."

In the Shang Dynasty, there were no schools of thought, no educational norms, and people were not bound by anything.

During the Shang Dynasty, human sacrifice was popular.

It is not surprising that the King of Shang devoted all the national strength to build a tomb for himself.

Many emperors in later generations also took a small portion of the country's taxes into their tombs.

Cao Cao took out the gold and silver and exchanged them for supplies to build the north-south canal and even the east-west straight road, which saved a lot of accumulation time.

After a while, he ordered Jin, Li Wufang and others to retreat.

Cao Cao left the Taoist priest to talk: "Have you ever considered another way to seek immortality?"

Dao Zun: "Which aspect do you mean?"

"Emperor Wu frequently performed Fengshan rituals throughout his life, trying to communicate with heaven and earth, and in his later years he repeatedly raised troops and attacked thousands of miles away."

Cao Cao: "Historical records say that when he was offering sacrifices to the gods, strange phenomena appeared between heaven and earth. Have you ever thought about the reason?"

"You mean, Emperor Wu tried to improve the country's fortune and find a way to longevity through Fengshan?"

Dao Zun frowned:

“The emperor bears the fate of humanity, and although he is the supreme ruler of the world, he has no chance of immortality.

It is impossible for him to carry the fate of all living beings and ascend into the sky.

Therefore, the emperors’ search for immortals has always been in vain. Cao Cao shook his head and said, “If there was no hope, Emperor Wu would not have tried again and again.

He must have discovered some possibility."

"Destroying a country and swallowing up its territory is also adding land to China and expanding its borders.

When the destiny of a country is in harmony with the heaven, earth and humanity, a prosperous country will usher in a great era.

Only a great era can nurture many saints.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was a great era when hundreds of schools of thought coexisted and humanity reached its peak.

Laozi, Zhuangzi, Confucius, Mozi, Guiguzi, all emerged in that period. You can't achieve great luck on your own no matter what. It is the right way for you to assist me in promoting the prosperity of China."

"I have formulated a strategy to open the gates of heaven, which is to acquire land and expand the borders for China and promote the rise of humanity.

If defeating one country is not enough, then attack another country and swallow up its territory. "

Daozun heard that Cao Cao's purpose was to make him formally surrender to Wei and recruit him as a thug.

But what Cao Cao said was not without reason.

Since ancient times, those who seek immortality have actually sought within themselves.

Few people look at this issue from the perspective of the times or the fate of humanity.

Cao Cao said that the Spring and Autumn Period was a great era with Hundred Schools of Thought and the magnanimity of humanity, which pushed the various philosophers to become saints. This makes a lot of sense.

"Let me think about it." Dao Zun pondered and stood up.

study.

Cao Cao resumed handling state affairs.

He picked up a memorial.

After the announcement of the strategy to pacify the north, military generals from all over the country requested to join the war.

Even Cao Ren, Yu Jin, Li Dian and others who were stationed on the southern front sent in memorials requesting to fight.

The memorial Cao Cao picked up was written by Ma Chao:

"Since I have followed Your Majesty for several years, I have not achieved any success. I feel deeply ashamed. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty for the third time to allow me to attack the north and defeat the enemy thousands of miles away. If so, I will have no regrets even if I die."

Ma Chao and Pang De have joined forces and submitted a third petition requesting to fight.

Within the Wei Dynasty, there was an unprecedented desire to fight against the Xianbei, or to fight against foreign tribes such as Goguryeo.

……

About two hundred years ago, Goguryeo began to annex surrounding regimes and gradually became stronger.

However, it was defeated twice by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Goguryeo also sent envoys to the Eastern Han Dynasty twice, taking the initiative to adjust relations and considering itself a vassal.

However, due to the civil unrest at the end of the Han Dynasty, Goguryeo resumed its separatist rule and became restless.

Historically, Goguryeo took the initiative to propose an alliance with Cao Wei to attack Liaodong County.

After conquering Liaodong, Goguryeo immediately terminated cooperation and sent troops to independently annex Liaodong.

Cao Wei was furious and sent troops to destroy the city of Marudu, the center of the country.

The King of Dongchuan of Goguryeo at that time fled to Woju further east.

After Cao Wei destroyed Marundu, it thought that Goguryeo had been defeated and its capital destroyed, so it quickly withdrew its troops.

However, Goguryeo revived several decades later, rebuilt Maru and continued to harass the three counties of Liaodong, Lelang and Xuantu, becoming an external threat and sparking war again.

Cao Cao knew the general outline of these historical changes.

Even if these surrounding foreign tribes were subdued for a while, as long as the Han territory was weak, they would become the source of trouble again and again.

Therefore, Cao Cao wanted to eradicate all evil to avoid failing to kill the snake and end up suffering from its harm.

At this time, most of Goguryeo's territory was still within the territory of Jilin Province in later generations, and it had not moved south to annex the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

The eastern part of the country is mostly mountainous, with only a few plains and fertile fields on the western side.

Sending troops from Buyeo and Liaodong County of the Wei Dynasty could threaten the northern and western parts of Goguryeo at the same time.

It’s very hot in mid-July.

The capital of Goguryeo was a mountain city built on the undulating and steep Marudu Mountain.

The royal palace in the city.

Gao Nanwu sat on the throne, listening to his subordinates report the latest developments:

"The Wei army attacked from Fuyu and Liaodong.

The Wei army in the north has a total force of about 10,000 people and has fought with us twice. Our army was defeated both times and is currently withdrawing its forces to defend Beishan City.

Gao Nan Wudao: "Send 5,000 more troops to the north to defend Beishan City and Zuodu City."

Goryeo's grain-producing areas are concentrated in the west and north.

The Le Jin troops that launched the first offensive by the Wei army were just to their northwest, and Goguryeo could not afford to lose any of them.

The vital points were threatened, so we had to send reinforcements.

"Tell General Li Qijian on the west side to also shrink his defense line. The Wei army will not attack only one side. There will definitely be more troops attacking from the west."

Goguryeo's territory was not large, but its ambitions were great.

In addition, the country was quite turbulent, and in order to control power, the ruler directly commanded the troops, directed the battles, and was well versed in military affairs.

Gao Nanwu gave orders continuously, but he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

He didn't know that Zhang Liao had personally led his troops out of Liaodong and headed straight for Goguryeo's western defense line with 900 soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp.

Zhang Liao ordered Le Jin to lead his troops to tie down part of the enemy's forces.

And he himself was eager to accumulate military luck through war and impact the mythical realm.

Dian Wei used Japan as a stepping stone to break through and advance to the mythical realm.

Zhang Liao also clearly felt that barrier.

He came in person, ready to capture and kill the King of Goguryeo.

The sky is full of stars.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun stood on a low hill.

They marched quickly and were approaching Goguryeo's western defense line.

Ahead is Goguryeo's Yeonsekseong Fortress.

Gao Shun: "Shall we just fight back like this?"

Zhang Liao: "Yes. Your Majesty said to attack from the front, break through his defenses and crush him. Among our armies, whoever enters his capital first and kills his king will be the first to achieve the credit."

Gao Shun nodded and waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp in the rear rushed forward like a tide.
