Chapter 30: The Age of Collapse
Later, the faltering old man came to the ancestral tomb of the Feng clan and respectfully bowed to the head of the Feng clan who was buried here.
Next to the shrine of the first head of the family, there is a stone sculpture of Haidongqing, which seems to be traveling in the sky. Tomber's trembling hands stretched out his sleeves and slowly lowered the Xuanwu talisman into the gap in his tongue, triggering the mechanism hidden under Zheng'an City.
Blood-red pillars of light erupted from the four corners of the city wall, reaching the vault and suddenly a gust of wind erupted. The black dragon that flew out of the ground burrowed into the thick clouds along the pillar of light, causing the night to fall sharply.
Tom Bo turned his head, and finally stared at everything that was about to disappear, and couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, the old slave has become a sinner for the ages. ”
He stepped forward and pushed open the tiger-striped stone wall that seeped with droplets, and then walked down the narrow passageway. However, at this moment, a figure wearing a silver mask quietly followed behind Tom.
I saw that this person was wearing a dark blue coat, and the flickering light illuminated the coat of arms tattooed on his left placket, which was the unique emblem of the Devouring Sect - the blood moon pattern.
After that, the formation that enveloped Zheng'an City rose from the ground. The blood-red pillar of light then spread outward, causing everything around it to be annihilated inch by inch in the blood light.
The carved beams that fell from the roof smashed beside him, and the glazed tiles that poured down fell to the ground and shattered.
It had become a sea of fire, and it was impossible to get close to it. Feng Yu sat upright in the Hall of Clear Wind, blood dripping down his fingers. He watched the ruined city alone, and for the first time in his life, he smiled with relief.
It is said that Zhang Fengyi and Wei Jiqian have been fighting with the enemy for a long time, but they have always been indistinguishable from each other.
However, the Jidong Festival made Cui Qianguang appear more and more brave in the fierce battle, wielding the long-handled moon-covering knife in his hand. I saw that he suddenly raised his knife and slammed it forward, and knocked Wei Jiqian off the horse.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cui Qianguang immediately recited a spell and cast a spell, and the thousands of mountains rose from the ground, shaking back the gathered dark demon riders in one fell swoop. Zhang Fengyi and the deputy lieutenant Yu were thus blocked, seeing that Wei Jiqian was in danger but could not do anything, so they had to cast spells together to break through the mountains in front of them.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the cool tower that emitted golden light shattered the mountain stone and shook off the moon covering knife. Cui Qianguang looked back in amazement, but was stabbed to death by Dugu Ye who came to the wind.
Seeing that the general of the main battle had been killed, the soldiers guarding the Guigu Pass and the reinforcements from the two routes gradually retreated, while the dark demon cavalry of Rinzhou rode away on horseback. The grief in the gate is all over the field. The rest will die or fall.
"Humble and incompetent, he didn't share his worries for His Highness, but almost lost his life. ”
"Alright. I'm still counting on you to continue to fight and kill the enemy, how can you fall here?"
"In this life, I will follow His Highness and be loyal to the country. Wei Jiqian replied.
"Pass the order, order the dark demon to ride ......" At this time, Dugu Ye suddenly paused, looked back at the vision in the sky, and said movingly: "This is ...... Northern Pluto Slaughter Array. ”
For a while, the war horses neighed, and the swept red light destroyed the strong city wall at this moment, and disaster was approaching in a blink of an eye. Dugu Ye's neck had scaly cracks, and white wings stretched on both sides of his back. Then the sound of Zhenyu rose, and he turned into a dragon and rushed to the sky.
The red light came destroying the world and destroying the earth, and the plants and trees burned everywhere it passed. Before the firelight completely engulfed Mengshan, I saw that Ying Long looked up to the sky and roared, spreading his wings to cover the sky above Guigu Pass, looking proud and fearless.
After a while, the red light dissipated, and the demon clan in Guigu Pass was spared. However, the golden scales that covered his cheeks began to fall, and the flying white feathers immediately turned to ashes.
Dugu Ye, who turned into a human form, fell from the sky, and the purple-backed dragon horse that stepped on the clouds carried him. And Dugu Ye buried his face deep in the white horsehair, and the ethereal back disappeared in the slanting sun, and he was never found.
"Your Highness......" Wei Jiqian knelt behind him and saluted, and suddenly burst into tears. More than 100,000 Rinzhou Dark Demon Riders in the Guannai were all moved, and they all followed his example and knelt on the ground.
"Now His Highness doesn't know where to go, and I hope that Lord Wei should focus on the overall situation. Zhang Fengyi helped him up and said, "The Northern Underworld Soldiers have been newly defeated by me, and they can get full merit by taking advantage of the victory to pursue at this time."
"The Celestial Wolf King Upache has just descended, and he may not be at the mercy of you and me. Once the army is defeated, it is bound to retreat to Longyou. If it turns against it and takes the opportunity to suddenly attack our army, then Longyou will not be protected, and you and I will have no way to return to the country. It is advisable to divide the troops and fight with the Sky Wolf Legion. Not only can it repel the main force of the Jidong soldiers, but it can also use it to deter Upache. ”
"As for the news that His Highness is seriously injured and does not know what happened to him, it will soon spread throughout the South China Kingdom. Therefore, we must immediately send our henchmen around to pursue it. The soldiers are fast, and there is no need to wait. Lord Wei will temporarily lead the army to support Upache, while I will lead the army to step up the capture of the Northern Underworld, and take the opportunity to find out the whereabouts of His Highness, what about it?"
After hearing this, Wei Jiqian hesitated for a moment, and then praised the goodness, and secretly sighed in his heart for the talent of Fengyi. The two of them then flew on their horses, and the soldiers divided into two ways, and acted according to the plan.
The flowers on the other side of the sky came out of nowhere, and the petals covered the bodies of the victims. And when Zhang Fengyi rode away, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
A faint wind rose from the gloomy stone passageway, causing the flames above the lantern to tremble slightly. The bats were whispering in the depths of the tunnels, damp and fishy smells coming from ahead.
Tom had only taken a few steps before he noticed that a pair of eyes were secretly watching him. Then they stopped, looked around at the empty surroundings, and said, "Your Excellency seems to have been with you for a long time, and I don't know what is going on?"
"Naturally, it's for the Golden Demon Book in your hand. ”
"Who sent you?"
"Those who are about to die, need not know. ”
"Although he is old, he still has some strength. If you want to snatch the magic book, you will have to fight to the death against the old decay. Tang Bo urged the dantian in his body, and the aura of Haoran gathered towards him, making his aging body glow, and he held the eyebrow knife composed of cyan spiritual power in his hand.
"I want to take a look, the first sword of the Northern Underworld, which was terrifying in the past, and now there is still a little cultivation left?" The man always hid in the dark where the light did not reach, and let out that sickly laughter that constantly echoed in the secret passage. However, its sound is difficult to distinguish from far and near, and it is creepy.
In the end, the other party swung his sword to cut off the candle flame in the lantern, and the figures of the two fighting each other were engulfed in the merciless darkness at the same time.
Artemisia terrestris frosts, withered leaves.
The skeleton bird flew back on the mountain, exacerbating the bitter cold of early winter at night.
A picturesque young woman walked alone on a mountain trail and went straight to the inaccessible Half Moon Garden. This place is a famous hot spring on the Kongming Mountain in Gwangyang County, and it is named because of its shape like a glaive.
The moon is like the yolk of a salted duck's egg, and the yellow moonlight falls on the water. A lilac mist rises above the hot springs of Half Moon Garden, and the ripples of fish scales sparkle in the night.
At this moment, a handsome man suddenly emerged from the water, brushing his hair back with his fingers, with a resolute expression on his face, and leaning his back against the hot and humid stone wall to close his eyes.
But seeing that this person is eight feet long, his appearance is majestic and outstanding. Beside him squatted two beast-shaped stone sculptures about three feet high, and the wind lanterns in their mouths were spitting yellowing lights.
The vermilion lacquer curved sill leads to an octagonal pavilion built at the water's edge, and several purple gauze lamps hang under its cornices.
The woman pulled out the hairpin carved with orchid jade, and the green silk that fell down suddenly reached her waist.
She slowly untied the purple ribbon on her thin waist, and the navy blue Tang dress with colorful Zhai bird patterns immediately slipped off her legs, and her white and plump figure looked particularly moving in the moon tide.
I saw that she wore a phoenix bird pattern on her neck, a black mandala flower tattooed on her chest, and a golden arm on her skinny arm.
Later, the woman walked down the wooden steps that met the water at the edge of the octagonal pavilion, and walked as light as a docile doe, staring at his face with affection, as if she wanted to scrutinize every eyelash on her eyes.
The man recognized the identity of the person by the wafting aroma, silently pulled her arm, and hugged her into his arms, saying, "Concubine, you are finally here." ”
The woman's eyes reflected a cold light, and when she heard this, she suddenly showed a heart-warming smile. Then, she brushed the bridge of the other's nose with her slender fingers. Whispered to him, "Why, have you waited for a long time?"
"It's just that I've been thinking about you, so I feel that time has passed a long time. He replied by kissing her slightly quivering lips, still with his eyes closed.
"I want to see you often, but unfortunately I am tired of mundane affairs. She slowly said goodbye, and suddenly said sadly: "There are more and more blood demons in the Wuling Plain, but the treasure phase flower doesn't know when it will mature?"
When he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, and came forward from behind, wrapped his arms around her slender neck gently, licked her earlobe, and replied, "We have waited for this for more than a thousand years, and we don't care about waiting a little longer." ”
"Cheng Yin, I still miss the old days. She said, "If we wait until the flower matures, will we really be saved?"
"Definitely. When the time comes, no one will be able to stop the gods from destroying the world. We are bound to make a comeback and put an end to this era of collapse!"
The right general Yingcheng raised his face suddenly, and his clear eyes surged with strong longing, and they became brighter and brighter under the glow of the stars.
Facing the starry sky full of brilliance, he spoke his heart for the first time.
Rime hangs above the pine branches, and the reckless ice field appears to be endless. The snow is burying the surrounding rocks, and the blue-backed dragon horse is snorting a warm snort.
"Warriors, the time has come to be loyal to your country. We have been ordered to secretly search for His Highness's whereabouts, and no clues can be ignored. With a bronze warrior mask on his face, he whispered to the more than ten dark demon riders: "It's just that this place is not far from Huaibei Daozhi, and there have always been many famous generals.
"If you are unfortunate enough to be captured by the enemy, Hugh will leak half of the news of His Highness. Otherwise, once it is discovered, it should be punished for treason, which is enough to kill the nine clans. You should do it yourself, don't make mistakes. ”
They all bowed their heads slightly and replied respectfully, "We will swear allegiance to Your Highness." ”
"In that case, we began to go our separate ways. "Tomorrow at noon, whether we succeed or not, we will meet here." ”
Unexpectedly, at this time, a bell rang in the hollow valley.
Escorted by two groups of heavily armed Huaibei soldiers, a dark green chariot was slowly driving towards them. The flag hanging from the roof of the car flutters in the wind, embroidered with a white mountain pattern. After seeing this, Yu Jiaohou was taken aback, and secretly said in his heart that something was wrong.
"Before the war in the North was over, you sent several groups of men and horses to Huaibei, and it didn't seem like they were trying to spy on the military. The woman in the carriage spoke suddenly, her voice as soft as catkins. "What is it here that deserves to make you come all the way?"
"I have nothing to say about it, so I won't bother you. He nodded to the Dark Demon Riders behind him, and then bowed slightly with the hilt of his sword in his hand, making a gesture ready to attack at any time.
"If you dare to be disrespectful to His Royal Highness, don't take them down quickly. ”
Chen Jingxiu, the commander of this team, drew his sword angrily and led the Huaibei soldiers to fight with him. Soon after, the Monkey and the Dark Demon Riders knew that they had a heavy responsibility, so they feigned defeat and scattered and absconded.
"Well, let them go. The woman in the carriage slowly lowered her hand, and her beautiful face soon disappeared behind the curtains. "There are still hundreds of thousands of refugees from the north who are constantly flocking to the border of Huaibei. Our immediate priority is to properly resettle the refugees who are suffering from hunger and cold. ”
Chen Jingxiu was about to lead his troops in pursuit, but he had to give up after hearing the words. After he slowly put the knife into the sheath, he rode on horseback and commanded the Huaibei soldiers to form an array, and continued to escort the carriage of His Royal Highness Lord Weng forward.
