The climate of the Tubo Plateau is changeable and the weather is erratic, which is impossible to predict using conventional methods.
The unique and diverse topography, landforms, high-altitude air circulation and other factors on the plateau have resulted in strong sunshine, low temperatures, large temperature differences, and concentrated rain. , a climate characterized by obvious dryness and wetness, little rain, snow and strong winds in winter and spring.
If we were in the north, it would have started to snow heavily by now, but there was still no trace of snow here.
There were strong winds every day, and the blowing on the face was as painful as a knife.
After a few days of such wind blowing, the faces of the soldiers of the Western Qin Army were cracked.
Fortunately, the military logistics department had already prepared fish oil for the soldiers.
These things were packed in clam shells.
Each person received one, morning and evening.
Apply it once each, and within two days there will be significant improvement.
October 17th, the cold wind is still blowing.
Zhao Ziliang sat on horseback and observed the Jinding Pass a few miles away.
The clouds and mist were still surrounding it.
The fact that the clouds and mist did not dissipate under such a strong wind already explained the problem.
There was something strange about this Jinding Pass.
People used strange magic to set up formations.
Zhao Ziliang sat motionless on his horse with a stern face, thinking about how to attack the mountain, but could not find a way, but he did not want to affect the morale of the army because of his emotions.
A fast horse galloped from behind.
The man reined in the horse and stopped to report to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, Master Padmasambhava and Master Wugou from Nalanda Temple have arrived and will be there soon."
"Oh."
Zhao Ziliang turned his head and looked back.
Sure enough, he saw several people trotting over on horseback from far away.
He immediately pulled the reins of his horse and turned around to slowly meet them.
Two monks, Lianhuasheng and Wugu, came trotting over with a few young monks.
They reined in their horses and stopped in front of Zhao Ziliang.
They immediately dismounted and saluted with their hands clasped together: "Amitabha, I'm a poor monk who's been late.
I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said: "The two masters of Wuli have finally arrived.
Come and take a look at this Golden Summit Pass."
"Yes, Your Majesty" The two followed Zhao Ziliang and some soldiers of the Western Qin Army on horseback to the foot of Jindingguan Mountain.
After observing for a while, Zhao Ziliang asked, "How are you two masters?"
Monk Wugou and Padmasambhava looked at each other, and Padmasambhava said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a strange person causing trouble here, but what we have learned does not involve this kind of strange magic, but the poor monks and others can feel that there are people on this mountain.
Power fluctuations in the spiritual realm” Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "So the two masters are helpless about this."
Padmasambhava clasped his hands together and said: "Your Majesty, although the poor monk cannot completely break this magic, he can break the illusion on the mountain so that the king and the soldiers can see the whole picture of the mountain clearly."
Zhao Ziliang said quickly: "Oh, it would be good to break the illusion on this mountain.
Then please ask the master to do it quickly."
"Accept the decree."
Padmasambhava agreed, and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, clasped his hands, closed his eyes, and muttered something.
Zhao Ziliang suddenly felt confused, but returned to normal instantly.
This time, Zhao Ziliang clearly felt an invisible and immaterial force around him, emanating from Liansheng.
He turned to look at the others and found that everyone else was There is no response, it seems like I have no feeling over and over again, what is going on?
Lianhuasheng muttered for a while, then suddenly shouted: "Mo" An invisible ripple swept towards the mountain.
No one else felt it, but Zhao Ziliang clearly felt this power.
Could this be the actual power of the spirit?
As this invisible ripple swept towards the mountain, the clouds and fog that had always lingered in the area from the mountainside to the top of the mountain quickly dispersed, and the true appearance of the large area from the mountainside to the top of the mountain was finally presented to everyone.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the scene on the mountain and wondered: "Isn't this the scene on the mountain that you see from a distance?

Why can't you see it when you get up close?
When you walk up the mountain, you see a different scene."
"Amitabha" Padmasambhava clasped his hands together and explained: "Your Majesty, this is because people are not affected by the power of the spiritual realm on the mountain from a distance, so the scenes they see are real, but when they are close, they will be affected and cannot see clearly. , and the more you go up the mountain, the more deeply you are affected, and what you see is an illusion.”
"I see."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and asked, "Will going up the mountain still be affected now?"
"Although the illusion is gone, when the soldiers go up the mountain to attack, the opponent will definitely launch a formation, and the soldiers will soon lose their way.
Your Majesty, forgive me, but there is nothing the poor monk can do about it."
Zhao Ziliang frowned, but waved his hand and said: "Forget it, there are specialties in the arts.
Tianzhu's civilization is different from our Chinese civilization.
It is normal to not understand the knowledge here.
Let's go back to the camp and discuss it later."
Two days later, on October 19th, Qingluo Taoist Priest Wang Ximing, the chief prisoner of Qintian Prison, and Zen Master Qianye of Huachan Temple came over together.
The two of them visited Zhao Ziliang, and Zhao Ziliang couldn't wait to say: "Taoist priest, Zen master, you two have thought that the Tubo people have set up a formation-like pass at Jinding Pass, thirty miles to the east.
Our army has been blocked here for a month.
If there are two more people left, please follow me and have a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Then Zhao Ziliang led the army generals, Wang Ximing, Zen Master Qianye and others on horseback to the foot of Jindingguan Mountain.
After some observation, Master Qianye Zen Master said to Zhao Ziliang: "As the king expected, someone used different techniques to use the natural terrain of this place to arrange an innate formation.
This belongs to Taoist knowledge.
In this regard, Qingluo The Taoist priest is an expert, but the poor monk will not show his shame."
Wang Ximing quickly slapped his head and said with a smile: "Zen Master is so humble."
Zhao Ziliang wondered: "What is an innate formation?
Is it possible that there are also acquired formations?"
Wang Ximing answered: "Yes, the innate formation that the king created is a formation that uses natural terrain, such as mountains, rivers, vegetation, rocks, earth veins, etc., to form the framework of the formation, and then uses Taoism to lay out the formation." method, and acquired formation method It means artificially arranging the props that make up the formation, and then using Taoism to drive the formation.
However, our Taoists use Taoism to associate the props when setting up formations, but this formation does not use Taoism, but a kind of supernatural power.
Although it can also drive the formation, But the effect is greatly reduced.”
Zen Master Qianye said: "The supernatural power mentioned by Taoist Qingluo should refer to a power in the spiritual realm."
"Yes."
Wang Ximing nodded and said, "This is completely different from the power of the soul practiced by our Taoists."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "The Taoist leader may have broken this formation."
Wang Ximing shook his head and said: "I can't do that" Zhao Ziliang was disappointed.
But Wang Ximing said again: "Although the poor Taoist can't, the king can."
Zhao Ziliang pointed at himself in confusion: "Why don't I know that I can break the formation?"
"Of course" Wang Ximing smiled, pointed to the mountain and asked: "Your Majesty, if no one casts spells on the mountain to drive the formation, your Majesty may be able to break through this Golden Summit Pass."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Of course, although some of the earthen castles on the mountainside serve as horns to guard Jinding Pass, there is still a way to pull them out.
As long as the defenses of these earthen castles are removed, Jinding Pass will be easy to deal with.
If there are too many, even the strongest passes and cities are not invulnerable.
There are always ways to break them."
Wang Ximing pointed to the mountainside and asked: "Has your Majesty seen the middle one among those earth forts?
That is the center of this formation.
As long as your Majesty leads his army to capture this earth fort as quickly as possible, he can capture or capture this earth fort."
Kill the person in charge of the formation, and the formation will be broken."
Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "You make it sound as if it is easy.
You must know that as long as the soldiers go up the mountain, they will be affected by the formation, their minds will become confused, and they will lose their way after entering."
Wang Ximing smiled and said: "Therefore, there should not be too many people attacking.
Three to five hundred people are enough, and the king must lead the troops himself, because only the king here understands the art of war and has the powerful power of the soul to help the soldiers resist the formation." influence” Chen Qing heard this and said angrily: "Master Wang, you are so courageous.

How can the king personally lead the troops to attack the fortress with a body of thousands of gold?"
Wang Ximing hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I forgive you.
I am just judging things based on the facts.
This time, only Your Majesty meets the conditions for leading troops to attack.
Everyone else can.
Other generals can lead troops to fight and understand the art of war, but none of them A person has the power of the soul as strong as the king, and although the power of the soul of the poor man is still barely enough, the poor man does not know how to march and fight."
Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, a little disbelieving, and asked: "You said that I have a powerful soul, how could I not know it?"
Wang Ximing said quickly: "Your Majesty, the poor Taoist can clearly feel the power of your soul.
Maybe you haven't noticed it yourself, and you don't know how to use it.
Has your Majesty ever practiced any Kung Fu?
My Taoist Kung Fu is definitely not To be able to cultivate such a powerful soul power overnight, Your Majesty must have practiced for decades to achieve such a powerful soul power."
Zhao Ziliang said: "The reason why I am able to kill generals, seize flags, and be invincible is, of course, that I have practiced martial arts.
When I was in the army in Shule Town, I accidentally obtained a copy of the martial arts training method.
There is also a set of mental training methods.
Later, a staff member who was an imperial doctor felt that this martial arts practice by me was too strong and could easily harm the body, so he taught me a set of body-building breathing exercises to assist."
Wang Ximing clapped his hands and said: "That's right.
The general method of breathing in and out is almost all created by Taoism.
In addition, it complements the fierce combat skills practiced by the king.
Therefore, it can further train and nourish the soul, and the king's soul can be strengthened."
That’s why the force is so strong.”
Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "Even if it is as you said, I don't know how to use the power of the soul, how can I defend the soldiers from the strange attacks from the formation?"
Wang Ximing smiled and said: "This is not a problem.
As long as the king has a powerful soul power, it is enough.
The usage is actually very simple.
Pindao can teach the king how to use it.
The king only needs two or three days of practice." " "Oh, then please ask the Taoist priest to teach me quickly":
