2. Initial hiding

Dongfang Wubian has been acquainted with Dugu Chengying since he was a child, a snow-white straight-placked robe, a moon-white auspicious cloud belt around his waist, and a white jade exquisite waist pendant. A black hair was tied casually with a silver ribbon, without a crown or hairpin, and a few strands of hair on the forehead were blown away by the wind, intertwined with the silver ribbon and flying, looking quite light.

A chic and beautiful young man, looking at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind.

He watched the king set up a house and take a wife, and he took the throne for him, and he took the throne for him, and he took the border.

He watched the queen fall out of favor and lose her son, and she took a concubine and killed her son for him.

All these strife had nothing to do with him in the first place. After helping Dongfang Wubian successfully ascend to the throne, he has quietly handed over the talisman to the queen. As everyone knows, his army has always only recognized generals and not soldiers. The queen naively believed that Dinghou's army believed in the same as her Cangming, and the military talisman symbolized absolute military power.

In the third year of Dongfang Wubian's succession, he put on his armor and set out to conquer the Northwest Lion Camel Country.

The lion camel is located on the western edge of the Zhuoya Gobi, and the only place to go to the Xuan country is the Moon Singing Valley and the Lingxi Cliff Ran Moon Valley, which belongs to the junction of the lion camel, the hidden and the ghost domain, under the dual influence of the hidden illusion and the magic of the ghost domain, the Moon Singing Valley is shrouded in demonic energy and illusion every day, and people with weak willpower will gradually be swallowed up by the demonic energy in the valley and die. The Lingxi cliff is located at the junction of the lion camel and the Xuan country, like a sharp sword rising from the ground, on the top of the clouds, the dangerous peaks stand upright, which is daunting. Whether it is the Moon Singing Valley or the Spirit Rhinoceros Cliff, it is not possible to use magic to enter and exit. And since ancient times, there have been two huge rocks standing at the entrance of the Lingxi cliff, known as the "first line of heaven", and only one person and one horse can be used at a time.

This time, he only led 3,000 elite soldiers to attack the lion camel, and facing the entire lion camel's strength was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. He lost count of the number of battles in which he had won more with less, and this time it would be the icing on the cake if he did his best to take down the lion camel.

His soldiers camped within a five-kilometer radius of the Moonming Valley and the Lingxi Cliffs, and a hundred archers crouched in the bushes at the entrance and exit every day. After seven days of crouching, hundreds of archers competed to nothing. Dugu Chengying planned to take a risk, first take half of the elite soldiers through the Yueming Valley and the Lingxi Cliff, leaving the deputy general Shen Tai with five hundred elite soldiers to stay at the exit on the side of the Yueming Valley, and the deputy general Yan Shuang led the remaining soldiers to stay at the entrance of the "First Line of Heaven".

The danger of the Moon Valley, far beyond his imagination: the illusions in the valley are strange and confusing. It took them five days and six nights to reach the camp where the lion camel Changsheng Marquis was stationed, and when they counted the number of people, there were only more than 800 people.

He still cares about his subordinates, and he can't bear to suffer them anymore. So taking advantage of the night, after everyone was asleep, he quietly infiltrated the enemy camp alone.

When the whirlwind suddenly rose, blowing and folding the flag of the Marquis of Changsheng, the army looked at each other and moved.

When the lion camel Chang Sheng Marquis saw his poor mask in the tent, he was shocked...

"The Marquis of Xuan Kingdom, this is the mask of Qiqi that he will wear..."Marquis Changsheng looked forward to seeing his true face in his lifetime, but he never thought that it was when he was dying.

"Master Hou can die under my sword today, which is a blessing from his previous life. If you are willing to give me the talisman before you die, I will ensure that no one in your Changsheng army will be taken prisoner. He lightly removed his mask, revealing a handsome face.

“...... It's too similar" Chang Shenghou glanced at him, just repeating these three words.

"Who do you think I look too like?" Dugu Chengying was about to ask him, but Changsheng Hou killed himself in front of him.

If you are good, why should you end yourself. Surrender is nothing more than a matter of self-esteem and face, and it will never affect life too much. You're just a mortal, and you're going to take on me, an immortal warrior. As everyone knows, the most important thing for me is time. Alas, ignorance is the greatest flaw of you people.

But would he really spare the lives of those lagoon soldiers? No, certainly not. The soldiers of the Marquis of Changsheng are lions and camels, and they cannot become his people in the end.

He had just found the Lion Camel Talisman from the tent when a general walked in and saw the Marquis Changsheng lying in a pool of blood.

The general rushed out with lightning speed, and in a short time the outside of the tent was surrounded inside and out.

It seems that they are underestimating my abilities.

He put away the lion camel talisman and skillfully pulled out the Zhanlu sword, the first sword was swung, the long swords in the hands of the three rows of soldiers were all broken, the second sword was swung, the armor of the three rows of soldiers was all removed, and the third sword was swung out, and more than a dozen people were lying on the ground and bleeding.

"Don't you give up yet?" Dugu Chengying took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the blood stains on it.

"Our Changsheng army would rather die than surrender!"

"That being the case, then Hugh blames me for being ruthless. He threw away the blood-wiping Ropa. The jet-black Zhan Lu sword has no brilliance, and Sen Han's sword aura is already imminent. The sword wind is like blowing bamboo, "brush, brush, brush, brush" There was a sharp sound, the sword qi and the night suddenly disappeared, but dozens of drops of sparks fell from mid-air, and the Changshenghou dozens of miles of station instantly ignited a raging fire.

Within one night, the news that the Marquis of Changsheng had been killed by the Marquis of the Xuan Kingdom spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms.

Today's lord of the lion camel country is a greedy man who is afraid of death, and he was almost frightened when he heard that his general was taken away by the killing talisman. What royal power, what gold and silver, living is the most important thing. The strategists around him suggested opening the city gate to welcome the army of the Xuan Kingdom, firstly, they could protect themselves, and secondly, they would always have the upper hand in this territory.

Dugu Chengying knew that they wanted to catch turtles in an urn, so he repaired a letter to the lord of the country in the name of the boundless east.

The content is roughly as follows:

To envy the lions and camels, the sky and the clouds, and the treasures. However, the road is difficult and dangerous, and it is difficult for me to return. Looking forward to the good of Qin and Jin forever, cloth clothes live and work in peace and contentment, why not.

After listening to this letter, the lord of the lion camel country resignedly, and he also estimated in his heart that it was written by Dugu Chengying.

In order to protect himself, he decreed: every year to donate a certain number of clouds and treasures to the Xuan Kingdom. Wangxuan made a promise of tranquility.

In fact, the thing of peace and tranquility, he only said Dugu Chengying.

The victory over the llama came much earlier than he had planned. While there was still time, he was thinking about how to take the hidden nest for the Xuan Kingdom, and the deputy general Yan Shuang reminded him.

"General, Yin Di has survived in the Zhuoya Gobi for tens of thousands of years with illusion. At present, our army still has a lot of casualties in Yueming Mountain and Lingxi Cliff, is it too risky and radical to attack Yindi at this time?"

That's true. Although the Hidden Realm is four times smaller than the Lion Camel, no other kingdom or royal realm has succeeded in bringing it into submission for tens of thousands of years. Yin Di does not rely on any marriage and kinship, and does not rely on offering treasures or food to large countries such as Xuan and Cangming, and in this Gobi alone, he can have long-term tranquility and his strength should not be underestimated.

After thinking for a while, he ordered Yan Shuang to take his handsome seal and lead everyone back to Xuan Kingdom first.

"What about you, General?"

"Tell the East Boundless, I'm going to hide. Before he could finish speaking, he rode out of his tent and headed south.

After Dugu Chengying became the new monarch of the Boundless East, he had long been tired of living in the capital of the Xuan Kingdom for a long time. Just seize the opportunity to find an unfamiliar place and enjoy a leisurely time.

Although he is the most beautiful man in the country, every time he fights in the Quartet, he never shows his true face, and he wears a poor mask. In the Xuan Kingdom, except for Dongfang Wubian and his henchman Shen Tai, no one knows the true appearance of Dugu Chengying. He went to hide this time, but he didn't need to do any disguise.

In the Xuan Kingdom, he is a well-known Dinghou Dugu Chengying.

In Yindie, he gave himself the pseudonym Xuanyuan Chengying.

Hidden illusionists often use illusions to spread the fragrance of birds and flowers throughout the country, and there will be small bridges and flowing water on the Zhuoya Gobi, there will be picturesque smoke and rain, and there will be rain and snow. Therefore, the tribesmen of the lion camel, nirvana and ghost snake are especially fond of bringing their relatives to travel in seclusion.

In addition to illusion, Hidden Die is unparalleled in the world, and there is also a friendship that no one can match.

The monogamy that Yin Die has always admired, from the royal nobles to the cloth people, without exception.

When Xuanyuan Chengying first entered the shadows, he felt a sudden reverse surge of air on his body. Even in the ghost, he can only cast all the spells at most, and there is nothing abnormal in his body. He sensed that there must be other problems in the hidden territory that needed to be solved urgently.

He has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child, and has won 30 consecutive championships in the quadrennial Seven Kingdoms Swordsmanship Competition. In the 31st event, he was defeated by the sword of the neighboring country's Cangming prince.

Of course, he was not convinced, and after the event, he made an appointment with the prince of Cangming, and when he came back from the battle, he would fight against Chunjunya.

Thinking of this, he had to find an illusionist in the hidden area to practice for a while.

He heard that there was an illusionist named Xi Zhu, who made a living in Yugui Mountain, outside the hidden city, because he was ignorant of the world, and occasionally gave minor illnesses to the villagers near Yugui Mountain.

From Yindi City to Yugui Mountain, you will pass through an autumn jade building. Qiuyulou is a famous flower building in Yindie, only in the night to make a living, this building looks very desolate and deserted during the day. Once the sun goes down, the lanterns in the building will be lit one after another, and they will not be extinguished until dawn the next day. The girl in Qiu Yulou has always been a singer and dancer who sells her art but not her body. The most famous Oiran - Ziqin girl in Yindie, only picks those little white faces who dance and write, and treats ordinary gentlemen coldly.

Because the hidden nest is a country born by illusion, among which this autumn jade building is another layer of enchantment in this illusion. If the guests are only looking for fun in the building, they can be safe and sound; On the other hand, if a guest forcibly uses any spell, they will be counterattacked. Serious injuries can be fatal. This barrier is so powerful that all the hidden illusionists are helpless.

Xuanyuan Chengying sighed at the power of the Hidden Illusion while observing the intricate terrain of the Hidden Illusion.

There are hundreds of cities on the Zhuoya Gobi, and only one of them still retains its original appearance.

After thousands of years of wind and frost and war, most of the surrounding cities have either collapsed, or have been attached to other countries such as Cangming. The Hidden Dynasty was under the rule of the 306th Lord.

There were really too many questions in his mind. And the most important thing at this time is to find Xi Zhu as soon as possible and practice illusion with him.

The breath of each kingdom is different. If you don't practice the exercises of the place where you have lived for a long time as soon as possible, your own cultivation and mana will be reduced by only one percent in a few months. In addition, every time you stay for a day, every time you use the spells of your home country, your own cultivation and mana will be reduced a lot.

He'd only heard the name, but he didn't even have a portrait, but it wasn't too difficult for him to find an illusionist who worked as a farmer.

Where there is nothing ignorant about the world, but disgusted with sycophancy and groveling. He is a military general, and he is aware of the chaos of intrigue in the court, and he knows very well that if he does not have elite soldiers, he is afraid that the ministers of the entire Xuan Kingdom want his life.

He has always had no intention of fame and fortune, and the title of God of War is also the fastest tongue in the East and spread all over the world.

This is a lot of weirdness in the villages near Guishan.

It was a sunny and sunny day, and there was not a single shadow left between the houses and the vegetation;

It is obviously a sign of peace and harmony in the neighborhood, and the tenant farmers here are doing their farm work in silence;

It was a spring day with the smoke of the stream, but there was no laughter of children playing with each other.

Not good.

He only felt that his eyes were dark, as if he was imprisoned by some magic weapon, and his eyes couldn't see everything clearly. As soon as he used the spell, he was banned even tighter, as if the magic weapon was absorbing his cultivation.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already night.

As far as the Seven Kingdoms are concerned, there are only a handful of people who can take him captive like this. Who was it? Came and attacked him as soon as he stepped into seclusion.

He saw a woman slowly walking towards him:

A green silk is lightly curled into a chic moon-chasing bun, with a touch of emerald in the hair, but it is a hairpin with a hollow and inlaid silver, a night pearl at the end of the hairpin, exuding a cold and cold brilliance, falling a few round and small pearls of the East China Sea, a plain face without powder, a white Liyue Bai Huasheng in front of the forehead, a pair of glass earrings in both ears, a crystal butterfly chain on the neck to remove the collarbone clear, a white jade bracelet on the wrist to line the skin than snow, a white dress on the ground, embroidered with moon white butterfly dark lines, a tassel made of pearls on the waist emitting a sound of Lingling, covered with a layer of snow-white tulle, and a pair of gilt exquisite shoes on the feet。

Dongfang Boundless played small and whispered in his ear: good-looking skins are the same, and interesting souls are one in a million. After meeting her, he had completely rejected this ridiculous argument in his mind.

If he said that he met her together, the battlefield was his stage, and the sword was his lover. After meeting her, her smile was what he was most proud of.

She sat no more than a foot away from him, as if she was concocting some kind of elixir.

"I offended the girl somewhere, and Jing was intercepted halfway home on the way home. ”

Xuanyuan Chengying thought of 10,000 words to talk, who expected to blurt out such a question.

"When you wake up, come and test the medicine for me. The girl did not rush to reply to him, but asked him to help.

He still tried to use the Xuan Guo magic to break free from the magic weapon that bound him, but the original mana was swallowed by the magic weapon.

"Don't waste your efforts. This is Qiuyulou, and no one can cast spells here. ”

Seeing that he was bound more tightly by the magic weapon, she waved her finger slightly, and the magic weapon was gone.

Without the restraint of magic weapons, Xuanyuan Chengying felt a lot more relaxed.

He was about to get up, only to find that he had been changed into a dark hidden outfit at some point.

"What kind of medicine is this?" he asked her with the clay on the table.

"This is Erye Law and Ju Wei Cao, and a few drops of your blood are needed to refine the Jiuyi Pill. The girl took out a dagger and slashed it in the palm of his hand, and a few drops of bright red blood fell into the cup containing the herbs.

"How is this account calculated?" came here full of anger and was forced to be injured. As a warlord of the Xuan Kingdom, where can he be treated like this.

"By the way, what's your name. Looking at your original outfit, you must be from the Xuan Kingdom. ”

"Xuanyuan Chengying. Dare to ask the girl's name?" He finally remembered that he hadn't asked her name yet.

"Silver Sand. Wait for me here, I'll come later. Don't go out, shake the bell three times if you need it, and someone will answer you. Just as he was talking to him, Yinsha had already refined the elixir with a spell, and left a copper bell on the table.

He was about to stop her, but he only reached the silk that she pinned to her waist. In an instant, a fragrance lingered on the tip of the nose, not like the richness of roses, nor like the faint fragrance of daisies. The plain white silk handkerchief is embroidered with a few cherry blossoms, which is lifelike.

Originally, he wanted art to protect his own cultivation, but all of a sudden this woman's plan was broken. Count the hours, if he is in the Xuan country, he should also have dinner. Since she left a copper bell, then try it. Although he had been in the hidden area for less than ten hours, he was already unwell. If you can't fully cast your spells, then you can only use your sword to kill Qiu Yulou. But this must not have the upper hand, not to mention that the whereabouts of Zhan Lujian's are unknown, Ren is trying his best with all his strength, I am afraid that he will be eaten back to death before he reaches the door.

Forget it, the big husband can bend and stretch. People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads.

These little philosophies he has always kept in his heart. So I tried to shake the bell three times to see if what she said was true.

Before the echo of the bell had subsided, two or three men in black entered the room.

"What do you command?" The man in the middle appears to be a leader.

"No wine, no meat, no beauty, life here is too boring. He said in a joking tone.

"Please wait a moment, I'll wait for this to arrange. ”

A few of them left quickly, and after a while, a whole table of wine and food was served.

He lifted the chopsticks, and after thinking about it, he still didn't eat it first, if he was poisoned, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses.

But there is also a pot of good wine next to the meal. It smells like mandala pineapple.

Because I had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time before coming to Yindie, I really hadn't drunk heartily for a while.

Finally, I couldn't hold back after watching it for a long time, and the mellow liquid suddenly slid through the tip of the tongue, moistened through the throat, slippery into the throat, floated warmly in the abdomen, slowly wandered in the nose, and quietly dived into the blood...... The wine is sweet and mellow, and the dishes are very palatable. Yes, yes, this first flower building is not in vain.

After drinking less than half a pot of wine, Yinsha pushed open the door and entered.

"You can still be so sober, it seems that I underestimated your drinking. Yinsha looked at him with a ruddy face, a light smile on his eyebrows, and his eyes were like stars, not at all the cold and frosty appearance he had before.
