The 23rd return of Tianbao's flaws in the Jingjing Scripture

  Guo Cheng and other generals led their troops in a fierce charge, and Wu Song hastily retreated to the side of the road with Yang Jie on his back. Despite this, many Song soldiers were thrown off their horses. Wang En, the deputy commander of the army, also fell off his horse and narrowly escaped being trampled to death by the chaotic horses. After struggling to get up, he adjusted his hat, glanced at Wu Song, and smiled: "Indeed, as Master Shi said, you are a strange man, the master of martial arts! I'll invite you for a drink when we return!" He then led his troops in another fierce charge.

  She didn't want to kill many more people, so after the army passed by, she slid down from the back of the fierce tiger mechanism beast, put away the chess pieces on the board, and saw that those mechanism beasts were getting smaller and smaller. In just a moment, they turned into one or two inches in size and were picked up by her. She walked to Wu Song's side with a small package on her back.

  Wu Song exclaimed: "Gong Sun's daughter is truly a divine skill!"

  Gong Sun Yan bowed and smiled: "General Wu is overpraising me, I'm just lucky to have not disgraced my orders."

  "Is that chessboard a magical instrument used to control the mechanical beasts?"

  Gong Shu Yanran took out the chessboard again, smiling and saying: "It's not a magical instrument, just an ancestral toy left behind to control mechanical beasts. I have no magic power, after using ten years of time, only refining the pawn beast, the general, minister, horse, car, and cannon were not refined, can only use bronze beasts to make up for it, laughing at myself."

  Yang Jiao lay on Wu Song's shoulder, weakly saying: "Brother Wu, we need to go see a doctor..."

  Wu Song tilted his head to one side and asked curiously: "What is this 'Gradual Victory' beast, and what are these 'copper men', 'soldiers on horseback', 'carriages' and 'cannons'?"

  "Gongsun Yan explained patiently: 'The Gradual Beast has no divine intelligence, it's dull and stiff in its movements, but the other mechanical beasts all have a spiritual core, which makes them even more powerful. The General is the Dragon, the central soul of the chessboard, our ancestors killed a dragon when they made the General, taking its spiritual core to create the military dragon. The Knight is the Snake Jiao, moving in and out of the square inch of land like the wind, guarding the General. The Minister is the Flying Elephant, rising up with its body, trampling all four sides...'"

  Yang Jian said with a sigh: "Our family is dying soon, we need to go see a doctor..."

  Wu Song was so absorbed in listening that he mechanically said: "Wait a moment."

  Yang Jiong angrily said: "Later you will really die! Good, Wu Er, earlier you still said to become sworn brothers with our family, now you just throw our family aside!"

  Wu Song laughed and said: "You're full of energy, where's the look of someone who's going to die right away?"

  "He looked like he was going to die right away, and at that time, he really did die!"

  Wu Song said to Gong Sunyan, "The method of arranging the chessboard is indeed clever. I'll come again tomorrow to ask for your guidance, but first, let's treat Yang's injury!" The Song army left some soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and Wu Song pulled over a few soldiers to ask around, finally finding the military doctor.

  The military doctor was unable to treat Yang Jia's injury, as the injuries of a Qi practitioner were different from those of ordinary people and involved many more aspects. The military doctor did not dare to administer any medicine rashly. Just as he was at a loss, Yang Jia spat out another mouthful of blood, his face turning even paler. Gong Sun Yan stood quietly by the side, suddenly reciting a prescription that used only common medicinal herbs. The military doctor hesitated for a moment before following her instructions to prepare the medicine on the spot.

  Yang Jiaolong finally couldn't bear it and fainted, Wu Song ordered the soldiers to take good care of him, and said to Gong Sun Yuer: "Miss Yuer is indeed a great talent, and her medical skills are also so remarkable."

  Gong Shu Yan hastily said: "I was often ill in my early years, and I happened to meet the Qin family's doctor. I learned medical skills from her for two years." Seeing Wu Song's confusion, he explained: "The Qin family is a descendant of Bian Que, a famous doctor, and they are a family of doctors who have refined their medical skills to perfection."

  "There are so many eccentric people in the world, I'm really a frog at the bottom of a well!" Wu Song suddenly had an urge to travel the world, but immediately chased it out of his mind. For him now, helping Feng Longting achieve immortality was the top priority.

  "Miss Yan, you are knowledgeable and experienced. I have a question to ask you. After some deliberation, Wu Song said: 'If someone's body is invaded by a beast soul, but the beast soul does not occupy his body, only when he gets angry, a demonic beast spirit will faintly appear behind him. In the long run, is it beneficial or harmful?'"

  Gong Shu Yan didn't encounter such a situation before, and after hearing the words, he sank into deep thought for a long time. He said: "There might be two possible situations. Firstly, as the demon beast's yuan shen (primordial spirit) grows weaker over time, it will eventually be swallowed by its master. This is the scenario where the demon beast's yuan shen is weak and small. The second situation would be much more dangerous. Every time that person uses the demon beast's yuan shen power, they will allow the demon beast's yuan shen to grow stronger by a bit. The more times they use it, the stronger the demon beast's yuan shen will become. Eventually, the demon beast's yuan shen will inevitably swallow its master's yuan shen and occupy their physical body alone. This is just my speculation, I haven't seen it before, nor do I know the specific consequences."

  Wu Song listened and couldn't help but feel a little worried. The fierce tiger pattern on his back had indeed made his physical body stronger, but he still felt a sense of insecurity, especially since the fierce tiger spirit on his back had been appearing for longer periods of time since childhood.

  "If one cultivates the military family's law gate, can they restrain the demon beast's yuan god?"

  Gong Shu Yan shook her head and said, "I don't know about this either, but the military family's cultivation method is to kill decisively, using killing energy to impact the mysterious gate. I'm afraid that the demon beast's primordial spirit will be stimulated by the killing energy and wake up even faster. If they continue to cultivate for a long time, I'm afraid that the demon beast's primordial spirit will also be controlled by the killing energy, losing its divine wisdom and becoming a pure killing machine."

  Wu Song's heart sank, and Zhou Tong had so readily handed him the "Precious Scripture of the Heavenly Master". He suspected that there was no good intention behind this, and wondered if Zhou had seen that he couldn't control himself, which is why he had come up with this idea.

  This old man looks generous, but unexpectedly has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. If the monks from the Western Regions come to him for help, asking him to take action, he might even stir up more trouble.

  Wu Song glanced at Gong Sunyan beside him and thought to himself, "If I can get her to take action, it wouldn't be a bad help."

  Gong Shu Yanran used beasts as chess pieces and the chessboard as a formation, opening his eyes wide in surprise. Moreover, it was clear that this girl had not fully unleashed the power of the mechanical beast, either holding back or lacking in cultivation.

  Wu Song wanted to win her over to deal with Fan Monk, and Gong Shu also wanted to win him over, expand his own power, counter the Mohist Yin-Yang School, easily enter the Dragon Pulse, and remove the Eight Trigrams Seal of the Gong family that had been shrouded for 800 years. Both of them deliberately tried to please each other, but the atmosphere was quite strange, and gradually both of them became a little embarrassed and stopped talking.

  The Song army pursued the Western Xia's Empress Dowager Liang, but unfortunately, the troops had been fighting continuously for several days without sufficient rest and could not catch up with Empress Dowager Liang. Guo Cheng saw this and stopped pursuing her, instead turning to attack the scattered Western Xia soldiers, expanding the war results, and plundering several Western Xia tribes, seizing nearly 100,000 cattle and sheep, and countless gold and silver treasures.

  The great army did not disband, but instead stopped at Xianpo Port, occupying the Western Xia army's large camp. Wu Song and others also went to Xianpo Port. Almost simultaneously, Zhong Shidao also defeated the Western Xia army besieging Wuyan Pass, capturing General Rendaozhong alive. This time it was a great victory.

  Empress Dowager Liang fled to Yin Chuan, where she narrowly escaped being caught by Wu Song and was shocked into taking to her bed. The Western Xia state had been on good terms with the Liao state for many years, and Empress Dowager Liang wrote a letter to Emperor Yelü Hongji of Liao, complaining that he had refused to help her attack the Song state, which had led to the defeat of the Xia state. The letter was full of bitter words. On this day, Empress Dowager Liang drank some medicine and lay down on her bed, just starting to drift off to sleep, when she suddenly heard a strange noise. When she opened her eyes, she saw a person standing in front of her bed, with a brightly colored, monkey-like face.

  "That strange man burst out laughing and said: 'Empress Dowager, one letter from you enraged my king. The magician Ye Lu Nan Rou was ordered by the king to come and take your life!'"

  The next morning, the palace maid found Empress Liang dead in bed, her entire body black and festering, emitting a foul odor. The pitiful former female hero died because almost all of the guards in the palace had been killed by Wu Song and others, leaving no one to defend her, and she died just like that.

  Empress Dowager Liang was resented by Emperor Liao and was poisoned to death by someone sent by Emperor Liao, which is a historical fact.
