326 Book of Meritorious
Jiang Tong, who was on the other side, immediately screamed and fell to the ground, convulsive.
"King of the Five Spirits, you, if you kill me, it will be equivalent to killing your men. Haha, you will be infamous for killing your brothers!" Jiang Tong, who was taken away, staggered up for a long time, with a trace of a cruel smile on his face, revealing his true face.
Wang Baoyu was silent and looked at the other party coldly.
"Baoyu, don't be soft-hearted, this person can't stay. Tong Yansong stepped forward and said.
Yang Yuan sighed, and then also hugged his fists and said, "King, kill him, he is no longer Jiang Tong's brother." ”
"Haha, it's not Jiang Tong, it's also his body, as if he's still alive. King of the Five Spirits, haven't you always been the most hypocritical and righteous, are you watching your brother leave you?" Jiang Tong threatened.
Wang Baoyu got up slowly, came to Jiang Tong, bent down slightly, and finally took a look at the appearance of his former brother, who was timid and greedy for money, despite many shortcomings, but never had the intention of leaving or stationing on a small island.
Jiang Tong's trust in Wang Baoyu exceeded all his own limits. His greatest wish was to enter the Golden Pill Stage as soon as possible, but in the end, he was occupied by the Yuan Infant Stage enemy.
"Good brother, I didn't protect you. After Wang Baoyu finished speaking, he turned around and said resolutely: "Jiang Tong is a good brother to all of us, but I am very heartbroken by you to be tossed like this." Since you have taken possession of his body, come and bear the pain that this body has caused you!"
"No, king, don't kill me, I'm willing to surrender, I know a lot of Douwu Sect's exercises, and there are many secrets of many sects. King, please don't kill me, I'm willing to do anything!" Yuan Ying, who occupied Jiang Tong's body, was completely panicked and knelt down and pleaded.
"This tone annoys me, come on, shut his mouth, cover his face, take him down, give him three hundred lashes, and throw him into the furnace. Wang Baoyu didn't reply to the cold command.
"No...... King of the Five Spirits, you are too cruel. ”
Jiang Tong, who was taken away, was dragged out by Yang Yuan, gagged his mouth, and tied to a big tree with his face covered.
Because it did not fuse well with the occupied body, and the cultivation was basically zero, Yuan Ying did not have any resistance power, and could only keep squirming his limbs, and his mouth made a whining sound.
Warriors who did not know the truth poured in from all sides, and they did not understand what mistake Jiang Tong had made to suffer such a harsh punishment, and they ran to intercede with the Five Spirit King.
"Brothers, he is no longer Jiang Tong, but a Douwu Sect monk who has been occupied by Yuan Ying. I am very sad that Brother Jiang died in battle, and now we can only do it by punishing this body to avenge Brother Jiang. Yang Yuan said in a loud voice.
All the monks present understood what it meant to be reborn, but when they were asked to whip their brothers' bodies, they still couldn't bear to do it, and they hid their faces and wept.
In desperation, Yang Yuan had no choice but to personally hold the whip and beat Jiang Tong's body three hundred times until this soul-changing body was dying.
Then, the body was thrown into the furnace erected by Mantong, and in the midst of great pain, it was reduced to ashes.
Yuan Ying was extinguished, and Jiang Tong died like this, casting a shadow on the expeditionary force.
Wang Baoyu's face was always covered with haze, Jiang Tong only had cultivation in the later stage of foundation building, this fall, not even his soul was left, thinking of this big black man who accompanied his smiling face to earn spirit stones and worked hard to improve his cultivation, his heart was unspeakably uncomfortable.
At dusk, Wang Baoyu walked out of the small building, gathered five hundred warriors, and said sadly: "Brothers, I deeply regret today's incident, I must understand that it is not Jiang Tong who is punished, but the hateful Yuan Ying. ”
Everyone lowered their heads and didn't speak, the reason was clear, but the hurdles in their hearts were always insurmountable.
"Since it is a war, there will be bloodshed and sacrifices, this is an indisputable fact, it is better to die for everyone than to live for a long time. Jiang Tong's soul, when the time is right, I will go to the ghost clan to find it, and his name will be remembered by future generations. Wang Baoyu said sincerely.
Everyone's mood was much soothed, they understood the Five Spirit King's approach, and there was no better way to punish the Yuan Infant who forcibly occupied the body.
Wang Baoyu also said: "I announce that from today onwards, the Lingyue Meritorious Heroes Book will be established, and the merits of each of us here will be recorded. ”
The applause rang out, and everyone shouted in unison Long live the Five Spirit Kings.
Becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao and living with heaven and earth is, of course, the greatest hope of a monk. But being able to leave a mark on history is just as inspiring, and it's another way to live forever.
"Jiang Tong's fall also reminded us all that if we want to protect ourselves, we must work hard to improve our cultivation, as long as we cross the Jindan period, the matter of seizing will not happen. Also, everything must abide by the discipline of the army, if Jiang Tong did not go to the war without authorization, and his cultivation would be damaged, Yuan Ying was afraid that it would be difficult to take advantage of the weakness. ”
Everyone nodded and said that they would abide by discipline in the future and not let Jiang Tong's tragedy happen again.
The island has no resources, and it is a sad place, and after staying for a few days, Wang Baoyu immediately led the team and continued to embark on the journey of the Phantom Sea.
The lesson of Dou Wuzong made Wang Baoyu more cautious in his work, and every time he drove the flying boat, he patrolled the nearby sea area for thousands of miles, and even the smallest islands were carefully searched and never let go.
As soon as those remote teleportation arrays left over from ancient times were discovered, they were immediately dismantled, and the interception plans of some sects in the eastern part of the spirit world also fell through.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and the expeditionary force gained more than a dozen islands, and finally stayed on the eastern island. In other words, the expeditionary force came to the easternmost side of the Sea of Disillusionment, and was more than halfway there.
Donglin Island is a large island, with a population of 50,000 and a large number of monks, of course, compared to the strength of the expeditionary force, it is still far from it.
In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Wang Baoyu sent the national teacher Tong Yansong and the general Yang Yuan to take the lead in landing on the island and persuaded Qiang Zhen, the owner of the island in the later period of Jindan, to surrender.
Knowing the strength of the Lingyue Kingdom's army, and knowing that it could be interconnected with other islands, Qiang Zhen finally lowered his head and led all the monks of the sect to the seaside to meet the Five Spirits King, willing to include Donglin Island in the territory of Lingyue Kingdom.
In recognition of Qiang Zhen's practice, Wang Baoyu named Qiang Zhen as the general of Zhendong and rewarded him with a magic robe, two magic weapons, and five superb spirit stones.
Magic clothes, magic weapons, and top-grade spirit stones are all difficult to find, and Qiang Zhen's previous surrender was a helpless move, but seeing that the Five Spirit Kings were so tolerant and generous, there was nothing wrong with relying on a country, and from then on, he was sincere and obedient.
Wang Baoyu did not interfere with the affairs of the island, and the expeditionary force settled down by relying on the spiritual vein.
Jiang Tong's experience made everyone work harder, and the monks in the foundation building period began to enter the Jindan period, and when they left Donglin Island, there were less than fifty monks in the foundation building period in the army.
In the Qiankun bag, Wang Baoyu experienced another ordeal and finally bred a fire spirit baby. This spirit baby is very close to his name, and he has a hot temper, and as soon as he comes out, he will fight with his two brothers non-stop, and if he can't beat it, he will bite it, which is very difficult.
It took Wang Baoyu a long time to strengthen communication with the other two spirit babies before he stabilized him.
The flowers and trees carried in the Qiankun Tip Bag withered quickly after Wang Baoyu raised the Fire Spirit Baby, so he could only throw them out and bring in fresh plants again.
In the evening of that day, Tian Ying appeared in Wang Baoyu's office hall, holding the Tianyin pipa in her hand, with a happy face.
