9 Finger Master
From the Silk Road of the Han Dynasty to the west, is the Western Great Qin State, in 181 AD, the Great Qin Empire is in the "Golden Age" of the Antonine Dynasty, as the last monarch of this dynasty, the Emperor Commodus sat on the throne is not very peaceful, just a year ago, its predecessor Emperor Marco? Aurelius died of illness on his way to conquer the northern barbarian tribe of the Dacias, and the betrayal of the barbarians made the new emperor unable to sleep every day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rome, the main city where Commodus lived, has been a feared city in the west of the Western Regions for centuries, not only here came out of Caesar, Octavian, Augustus, this small city-state has long become a powerful empire in the West, its territory is enough to rival the Han Dynasty in the East, and its strong army and huge national power because of the integration of various civilizations and economies, it is no better than the Han Dynasty.
However, the emperor seldom appeared since he succeeded to the throne, and the senators of the Senate rarely saw the honorific face, but more often heard that he hid in the pantheon, sitting in front of the idol of Augustus, not knowing whether he was praying or searching for the great soul of his ancestors.
"Rest in peace, although the border has been harassed repeatedly, there is nothing to fear!" A middle-aged senator stood up and broke the eloquent talk of the great patriarch Crassus, who glanced at him, put his staff on the ground, and said sharply in an extremely authoritative and undeniable tone: "It is precisely because of the invasion of my border that the barbarians have a chance!" These guerrilla units should be annihilated in one fell swoop, otherwise we will be tied up in the war with the barbarians! ”
The young patriarch sneered: "The barbarians have been conquered by us for hundreds of years, and now they suddenly rebel, why are they so bold? Is it just because of the harassment of the Sabbath? His Majesty Aurelius had already wondered before the conquest whether it had something to do with the rebellion of those Jewish slaves! ”
Crassus's face changed suddenly, and he said, "Those slave revolts have long been suppressed, what are you doing with it!?" ”
The middle-aged patriarch stepped forward and asked step by step: "I heard that the leader of that slave revolt did not die, but directly tempted the barbarians to attack!" The Grand Patriarch wouldn't know the whereabouts of that man, would he? ”
Seeing that the elder was forced to ask, another white-bearded elder said loudly: "What do you mean, you can make it clear!?" ”
The middle-aged patriarch turned around and pointed at the elder elder and said, "That leader, there is a father-in-law in Rome, that Jew, that 'son of the stars', is the leader of this barbarian rebellion!" Hmph, he organized the Jewish uprising three years ago, and now the ghost is still gone, isn't there someone in the Senate to back him up! ”
All the elders looked at the elder in unison, and the meaning of what the middle-aged elder said was clearly revealed.
The Great Elder was so angry that he lowered his staff and said angrily: "This person has already been cut off by me, and he has nothing to do with it!" ”
The middle-aged patriarch narrowed his triangular eyes and said, "Hmph, only you know this!" No wonder you have to rest first, so that the barbarians can go straight in! O great Lord Aurelius, you died on the way to conquer the barbarians, you are the pride of the empire, and your holy and glorious halo shines on us forever! Under your guidance, let us tell who is loyal and who is traitor! ”
When he prayed with open arms, all the patriarchs stood up and shouted, but the patriarch did not expect him to suddenly attack, and for a moment he did not know what to do.
The middle-aged patriarch lowered his arms and said, "Crassus, you traitor, say, what traitor did you do with the son of the stars!" ”
Grand Elder Crassus closed his eyes and said slowly: "I have a clear conscience, even if I want to be convicted, I will have to be carefully investigated by the Senate!" I ask the Archon to investigate this matter immediately! What if it was completely unnecessary!? ”
The middle-aged patriarch gritted his teeth and said: "If I wronged you, I should judge myself to thank the countrymen!" ”
"Shut up!"
The tense atmosphere in the Senate was interrupted by a shout of rage, and all the senators returned to their round seats, leaving only the Grand Senator standing on the stone platform in the middle.
A few people walked in outside the door, and Crassus hurriedly crossed the staff, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Why did your lord suddenly come here?" ”
The person who came was the Archon of Great Qin, he was in a plain robe, his figure was very tall, and the sturdy gladiators around him were also a head shorter than him, and the Archon said as he walked: "I heard your quarrel outside, Crassus, what is the result of the discussion?" ”
Crassus glanced at the archon's pale face, did not dare to look up, and said, "We are discussing how to deal with the barbarians!" ”
The prefect scoffed: "I see that you patriarchs, gossiping, can't discuss anything!" I heard that the Child of the Stars is related to you? ”
Crassus was in a cold sweat and said angrily: "Sir, don't listen to one side, there is no such thing, but the villain's slander against me, please investigate carefully!" ”
The archon smiled, "Is it that the son of the stars is making trouble, don't you know if you defeat the barbarians?" Now guessing and guessing, it will only hurt the harmony! Your Majesty has been in the Pantheon for 14 days, and it seems that someone is coming to harass you today and tomorrow, and I am ordered to protect it with all my might, you don't quarrel, and you must discuss the results in the next few days! Otherwise, Your Majesty will be very angry! ”
Crassus nodded again and again, and said, "Take care, sir, I don't know who is so bold as to dare to break into here!?" ”
The archon said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will send troops to protect it!" ”
Crassus didn't feel good in his heart, since Commodus succeeded to the throne, an ordinary senator in the former senate suddenly overrode him, and the violent death of the previous consul also made him guess that it was related to this consul, the former senator of his subordinates, and the emperor had never seen it, and must have been controlled by him. None of the spies and assassins sent by the Senate returned, which made Crassus believe that the archon in front of him had taken control of the empire, but he did not know his past and background, only that the archon who held the military, finance, and personnel power of the empire was not easy to mess with.
"Yes!" Crassus nodded and got up from the ground, "I will definitely give His Majesty an explanation in two days!" ”
The archon was about to leave, when the troubled middle-aged elder suddenly jumped up from his seat and said, "Archon, don't you ignore the great elder's communication with the son of the stars?" Do you want to watch the barbarians invade the city of Rome? ”
The prefect paused, and said ****: "The official has said it, and this matter will be discussed later!" ”
The middle-aged patriarch said angrily: "All our patriarchs are going to question Crassus today, he has a foreign connection, and he must have an explanation today!" ”
Several gladiators spewed gas from their noses, turned around, their muscles abrupt, and shook the steel axes in their hands.
The prefect patiently said, "Don't you listen to me? ”
The middle-aged patriarch lost his mind a little, and said: "I am the country first, sir, you should also put the country first, if you stay in Crassus, Daqin will die!" ”
The archon turned around and smiled wickedly, "This is my order, do you want to disobey?" ”
The middle-aged patriarch shouted: "Your order, your order, what is the use of Your Majesty, what is the use of the Senate!" ”
As soon as the words fell, several gladiators suddenly rushed forward like a whirlwind, one grabbed one of his arms, and the middle-aged patriarch shouted: "What are you doing, get out!" ”
All the senators were a little excited, and stood up, and the archon smiled and said, "You are too excited, in order to avoid you offending this seat, it is better to remove your two arms!" ”
With a chirp, the gladiator wielded the brute force that could tear the beast apart, and immediately tore off the two arms of the patriarch.
All the senators cried out, this was the first tragedy in the Senate since Caesar was killed in the Senate.
The middle-aged patriarch fell to the ground and almost fainted, and Crassus hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sir, spare him!" ”
The Archon said, "I'll spare you this time!" ”
The middle-aged patriarch was unconvinced, and said angrily: "Manrius, you bastard, it's a pity that I can't slash you traitor!" ”
When the prefect saw that he dared to call his name, he smiled evilly: "Then don't blame this seat for being ruthless!" ”
With a wave of his hand, the gladiator spread his iron claws, tearing the patriarch to shreds mercilessly in an instant.
"I can't imagine such a fool......" Manrius walked out of the Senate and looked up at the sky, "that guy is coming, you guys stand down, I'll go to the Pantheon!" ”
The Pantheon, a huge four-story temple, Manrius walked into the temple alone, shuttling between the shadows of the huge Doric stone pillars, he walked up the stone steps that spiraled up, and went up to the second floor, only to see that between the two Ionic pillars that supported the whole temple, stood the huge statue of Augustus, he happened to step on the head of the shadow of the idol, and under the idol sat a person, Manrius stepped forward and said, "Fourteen days, I can't imagine that you are so persistent!" ”
The man didn't look back, pulled his drooping coat, and said, "The savior has come, waiting for you upstairs!" ”
Manrius laughed, "So you've been waiting for a savior!?" Haha, you'll be disappointed soon! ”
The man said, "No, he'll kill you!" ”
Manrius said, "Do you hate me so much? Without me, you wouldn't be where you are today! ”
The man said lightly: "I regret that I listened to your temptation that day, if it weren't for you, how would I have killed my own father with my own hands?!" Hmph, now that I'm better than dead, I'm a puppet in your hands, what's the point of me living!? ”
Manrius said: "You enjoy the glory and wealth, and you don't have to manage the affairs of the state, what are you not satisfied with?" Hmph, I'm sorry, I'm going to make you desperate! I wish I could see your desperate expression before slowly torturing you! It seems that I used to be too kind to you! ”
The man was silent.
"Come on, Tianhao has been waiting for you for a long time!"
A loud voice came from the third floor.
The corner of Manrius's mouth spat out a sentence: "I don't know whether to live or die!" ”
He spiraled up the stone steps, and finally came to the third floor, the third floor of the Pantheon, where a circle of gods was placed, and he saw a seven or eight-year-old Oriental boy sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a strange beast squatting beside him, Manrius glanced at the old man beside the boy, and said coldly: "You came to Daqin thousands of miles away, just to defeat me?" Tianhao! ”
Tianhao raised his head and said, "I finally saw you, the legendary Finger Sect Master!" ”
Manrius grinned, "Even the people of Great Qin don't know my name, where did you know that?" Presumably this Akomaru Immortal told you! ”
Tianhao was surprised that this Great Qin's ruling chief actually recognized Ah Zi Maru, but when he saw a complicated look on Ah Zi Maru's face, he said, "On the day I, Tian Hao, is resurrected, I will take over the world that belongs to me!" Hmph, I heard that you've been here for a long time, I'd like to try your catties! ”
Manrius sighed and said, "It turns out that your ambition is not small, but it is a pity that that the mediocre Commodus still regards you as a savior!" However, Tianhao, what this seat wants to tell you is that you are still the first and last person who comes here and challenges this seat! ”
As soon as his eyes opened, seven colors flashed in an instant, and the plain robe was really stirred, and the Pantheon trembled a little.
Akomaru took a few steps back unconsciously.
Tianhao got up from the ground, and the lossless beast roared a few times, but he didn't dare to step forward.
The opponent's true ru was terrifyingly strong, and it seemed that the entire city of Rome was enveloped by his true ru.
Tianhao smiled: "It's not a big deal, hum, look at the move!" ”
Akomaru suddenly screamed, grabbed his wrist, and said, "Don't do anything to him, I said don't do anything to him!" If you want to conquer the world, you must cooperate with him! ”
Tianhao was furious, shook off Ah Zimaru's hand, and said, "Get out, you old man who can't eat the ancients, haven't you noticed that his truth is nothing more than that?" ”
Azimaru's face turned pale, and he said, "His strength can't be measured by the size of the truth!" ”
Tianhao smiled: "It turns out that you are so timid, I see that your ability is not bad, but I didn't expect you to be afraid of the corpse and this guy!" ”
Akomaru roared, "He's more ...... than the corpse dolin"
Manrius interrupted him and said, "Mr. Ringfinger, are you going to betray me!?" ”
Akomaru immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "No, no, I just persuaded him to come and cooperate with the sect leader!" ”
"What!?" Tianhao was shocked, "It turns out that you are also from the finger organization!?" ”
Akomaru's face blushed and said, "Suzuki, I have already persuaded you, but if you insist on this, I can't ...... it."
Tianhao kicked Ah Zimaru in the neck: "It turns out that you have long been uneasy and kind!" ”
Akomaru was swept away by him and said, "I just want to awaken your power and work together with the sect leader!" ”
Manrius laughed: "It seems that your works don't listen to you!" Hmph, a guy who was sealed by the Yellow Emperor, what qualifications does he have to come here to bark now, he is simply a lost dog! ”
Tianhao roared, it was really like an explosion, and a whirlwind suddenly blew outside the Pantheon, stirring up the Roman city all over the dust, and the people in the city didn't know what happened, and they suddenly became a mess.
Soon after, they saw a heavy fog falling from the sky, and there was no one on the other side, and people could not find their way home, so they had to stay where they were, and the fog filled for ten minutes before it gradually dispersed.
Commodus's heart was pounding, and Augustus didn't seem to hear his prayers, and the sudden fog gave him a bad premonition.
Finally, the sound of footsteps sounded from behind him, Commodus was so nervous that he didn't dare to look back, but there were two people listening to the footsteps, he was ecstatic, turned to look, but saw the tall body of Manrius standing upright in front, carrying a bloody man on his shoulder, and standing on the side was the white-haired Azimaru Immortal, kneeling down on one knee and saying, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”
Commodus's heart was as cold as an ice cellar for a moment, and Manrius snorted, "This is the strength of your so-called savior?" He threw down Tianhao on his shoulder, stepped on his back, spat at Tianhao, and said, "To this extent, you also want to fight alone with this seat?" Akomaru, get that woman out for me! ”
Azimaru nodded, Commodus fell to the ground softly, drooping his head and looking at Tianhao who was lying on the ground with blood, without saying a word.
Akomaru came to the statue of Augustus and touched his heel, and the idol popped open, but there was a woman hiding inside.
Manrius carefully observed the woman and said with a smile: "Peerless stunner, peerless stunner!" With a gesture of his hand, the unconscious woman fell between his hands, and before he could ask, Akomaru said, "This woman's name is Vasumido!" ”
Manrius commanded: "Imprison this faint king in this idol, since he so longed for his ancestors to send a savior, I have granted his wish!" ”
Akomaru smiled, mentioned Commodus, and said, "Your Majesty, you can live in it with peace of mind!" So he shoved Commodus into the idol, closed the lid, and it was seamless.
Manrius put down Vasumido and said, "This woman is a scourge, well, there is a lack of a goddess in the pantheon, you know what to do, right?" ”
Ah Zimaru's heart tightened, and said: "My lord, you have learned Tianhao's kung fu, this woman is useless, it is better to let her go!" ”
Manrius's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Why, after going to the East for a few years, you have also become merciful!?" ”
Akomaru nodded hurriedly and said, "It's a small mistake, let's do it!" ”
Manrius said: "Hmph, how have you guys completed their tasks in the past few years, there is no definite news until now, but fortunately, you are back, and the widow Venerable is also coming back soon, .mr.midfinger, mr.forfinger, . Where's Mr.Thumb now? You go and gather them back, the East is running out, and time is running out! ”
"Yes!" Akomaru wiped the sweat from her head.
