Chapter 352: The Three Qin Army in the Central Camp
After a long journey through mountains and rivers, Li Ye and his group have arrived at where Xue Ju is.
The place where Xue Ju's old nest was located was called Qianshui Street. But what was extremely strange was that there was an unusually quiet atmosphere here.
Looking around, there was complete silence all around, so quiet that it was a little eerie. Only ordinary undead people were moving slowly among them, and not even a single undead soldier could be seen.
Li Ye quickly stepped forward, grabbed an undead civilian, and asked softly:
"Old man, please tell me, do you know where the soul of your street will go?"
The undead citizen answered with a blank look in his eyes:
"I don't know. I only know that General Xue led all the troops and left here in a hurry not long ago."
"It seems that they got the news and ran away in advance. What should we do now? Should we track them down or go directly to the next one?"
Li Ye said to his four brothers.
"Let's go to the next one and look for Liu Wuzhou first!"
……
The three of them went through hardships along the way, climbing over mountains and crossing rivers, and finally arrived at Dingyang Street where Liu Wuzhou was.
However, what is surprising is that the situation here is exactly the same as Xue Ju's Qianshui Street. There are only ordinary undead people left, and all the fighting forces have been evacuated without a trace.
The three men were full of doubts and refused to believe that this would be the result, so they rushed to Kaiming Street where Wang Shichong was. However, the final result was disappointing, as the situation was once again shockingly the same.
Li Xingyun said somewhat disappointedly:
"Are these guys so cowardly? They just ran away. How can we take revenge?"
Li Ye pondered for a long time, but said firmly:
"I don't think so. They shouldn't be running away to avoid us, but gathering together and concentrating their strength to wait and fight us!"
"We are now heading to Xiawang Street where Dou Jiande is. They may all be gathered there!"
Li Xiuyuan thought about it for a moment, felt that what Li Ye said made sense, and agreed with Li Ye's suggestion.
The three of them set off again and rushed to Xiawang Street where Dou Jiande was.
……
The three of them once again traveled tirelessly through mountains and rivers, and after a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived at Xiawang Street where Dou Jiande was.
As expected, the atmosphere here was extremely solemn and oppressive, making people feel a little breathless. The entire Zhenhun Street was filled with dense, dark undead soldiers.
These soldiers were on high alert, making this place seem like an indestructible, impregnable steel fortress.
"As Jing Yun expected, they are all gathered here, ready to concentrate their forces to fight us!"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the hundreds of thousands of densely packed undead soldiers on Xiawang Street with a solemn expression.
"What's the big deal? Nezha is in charge of five camps of divine armies. With these five camps of heavenly soldiers and generals, these undead armies are nothing but chickens and dogs. They are just the defeated generals of Taizong's ancestor!" Li Xingyun seemed full of confidence and high spirits. He did not take the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Xue Ju and Liu Wuzhou seriously.
The Five Camps Divine Generals, also known as the Five Camps Generals, the Five Camps Marshals, the Five Camps Divine Army, the Five Camps Divine Soldiers, etc., abbreviated as the Five Camps, are important guardian gods who protect temples or villages in Taoism and Chinese folk beliefs.
The Five Camps of Gods are divided into five armies: the "Nine Barbarians of the East Camp", the "Eight Barbarians of the South Camp", the "Six Rong Army of the West Camp", the "Five Di Army of the North Camp" and the "Three Qin Army of the Central Altar".
The main duty of these divine armies is to resist evil spirits and protect the peace of the temple or village.
Among them, the Marshal of Zhongtan is the chief commander, leading the central camp, and the other four camps are each led by a marshal, together forming the Marshal of the Five Camps.
The chief commander of the Nine Yi Army in Dongying was General Zhang Jiqing (Zhang Shengzhe). As the chief commander of Dongying, he led the Nine Yi Army to resist evil spirits and protect the peace of the temple or village.
The leader of the Eight Barbarians of the Southern Camp is General Xiao Qiming (Xiao Shengzhe). He leads the Eight Barbarians of the Southern Camp and works together with the other four camps to protect the area from the invasion of evil spirits.
The chief commander of the Six Rong Army of the West Camp was General Liu Wuxiu (Liu Shengzhe). As the chief commander of the West Camp, he commanded the Six Rong Army and played an important role in resisting external evil and maintaining peace.
The chief commander of the Five Di Army of the Northern Camp was General Lian Zhonggong (Lian Shengzhe). He was responsible for leading the Five Di Army of the Northern Camp and, together with the other four camps, protecting the peace of the villages or temples.
The chief commander of the Three Qins Army in the Central Camp is Marshal Li Nezha (Li Shengzhe). Marshal Zhongtan, his full name is "the chief commander of the Central Camp of the Five Camps".
Nezha, the Marshal of the Central Altar, is in charge of four of the Five Camps of Gods and all the soldiers. He is equivalent to the defense force against evil spirits in the Three Realms. His main functions are to protect the country and the people, protect the periphery of Taoist temples, and the heavenly realm.
He was personally conferred the title of "Grand Marshal of the Dingyuan Expedition" by the Northern Emperor.
"Third brother, if I remember correctly, Nezha also holds the position of Great God of the Three Altars and Seas. Doesn't that mean he controls even more troops?"
Li Ye seemed to have thought of something and then asked Li Xingyun.
Upon hearing this, Li Xingyun replied with a bit of surprise:
"Jingyun, you also know this? Oh, your guardian spirit is Tianpeng Zhenjun, so it's normal for him to know this. Nezha does have more soldiers, but with my current level of hell, I can't summon them yet."
Nezha is a powerful god in heaven with a very high status. He is one of the bigwigs in the military department of heaven and controls a large number of heavenly soldiers and generals.
"Three Altars" is a Taoist term that refers to the three realms of heaven, earth and water, commonly known as land, sea and air, or the "Three Realms".
The implication of "Three Altars Sea Assembly Great God" is that he has the power of the three altars of heaven, earth and water, like the sea assembly. Of course, we can also understand that Nezha commands the three huge forces of sea, land and air.
"The Three Altars and Sea Assembly" refers to tens of thousands of soldiers from the three armies, that is, Nezha is the great god commanding a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals. It also symbolizes that Nezha possesses majesty and domineering power, and is the bravest of the three armies.
"Nezha, summon the five camps of divine soldiers and crush them directly!"
Nezha's figure appeared on Li Xingyun's shoulder. At this time, Nezha looked like a child.
The horns are just covering the fontanelle, and the hair is not covering the shoulders. The miraculous and intelligent, the delicate bones are even more beautiful. He is truly the son of the unicorn in the sky, and even more so the phoenix fairy in the mist and clouds. The dragon is naturally not ordinary, and the young age is not like the mortal world.
As soon as Li Xingyun finished speaking, Nezha changed.
Nezha at this time:
Her face is as delicate as the full moon, her lips are red and her teeth are silver. Her eyes are as bright as lightning, her forehead is broad and her hair is tied in a bun. Her embroidered belt dances in the wind and her colorful flames fly, her brocade robe reflects the sun and emits golden flowers.
The ring is blazing and climbing the mirror of the heart, and the precious armor is shining against the combat boots. The body is small and the voice is loud and magnificent, protecting the evil Nezha for three days.
