Chapter 344: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
"At least three thousand below, the number of embroidered guards is unknown. β
Above the main gate of Yunmengguan, a man with a dragon-faced mask looked down with a gloomy face: "The person at the head should be the new crown prince Zuo Wei rate, Kaifu Yi and the third division Li Shimin!"
"Li Shimin, isn't this one in Luoyang City, and the entire black market has been wiped out? Why is he here?"
Lin Zixuan, the master of Yunmeng Temple, who was standing on the main gate, was first surprised, and then his eyes showed an awe-inspiring look: "Long Xiang, your people are inevitably too useless, why didn't there be any news beforehand." Aren't those 'dragons' in your hands staring at this Li Crouching Tiger all the time?"
is not only Li Shimin's movements, but also those forbidden troops outside. There were three thousand people, and before they arrived at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, there was not even a trace of wind and grass.
These people should have been lurking not far from Yunmeng Mountain, but they were not alert at all.
And the 'dragon phase' beside him is in charge of the 'dragon people' in the eight divisions of the demon dragon, and is ordered by the emperor to collect information and inquire about it.
In the original Buddhist scriptures, the 'dragons' are not real dragons.
The 'dragons' in body poison language mostly refer to water snakes, turtles, fish, shrimp, crabs, and other beings born in the waters.
In Buddhism, the dragons in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragons refer specifically to a kind of creature called 'Naga'. It has multiple heads, and the head shape is similar to that of a cobra, with a long body without feet, no horns, and a highly poisonous water spirit, which can transform into a god with the body of a human snake.
People with poisonous bodies often respect the 'Naga', believing that the creatures in the water have the greatest strength of the 'Naga', so they call the people with noble virtues "Dragon Elephants". In the position of poison in the body, it is equivalent to the dragon,
And because this kind of spirit can also soar and travel clouds and rain, when translating Buddhist scriptures, the monks of Middle-earth often translate 'Naga' into the dragon character.
And these spirits with nine snake heads will sneak in the water every day, lurking in. The Emperor Shakti's designation of these people as 'dragons' has a certain meaning.
But this time, these 'dragons' were obviously disappointed.
"It's right to stare at it, but most of the embroidered guards are masters of magic, and our people don't dare to get too close, so it is inevitable that they will be deceived. β
Long Xiang snorted softly: "I bet that it took less than half an hour for Li Shimin to leave the city and get here!
At this time, his eyes were full of helplessness, as well as a trace of regret and doubt.
The confusion is because he thinks that his own work is seamless, and the embroidered clothes guard has not been able to find the top of Yunmeng Mountain after so many days of searching, which is very revealing.
The remorse was due to his own carelessness, and when he heard that Li Shimin had taken the entire black market ship city, he should have been alert in advance.
Lin Zixuan was silent for a while, and after a moment, he turned around and walked towards the stone staircase next to him: "I'll go and prepare one or two first, but there are too many things here, and there is no way to leave no traces in this moment." β
"Don't panic, I think the other side is surprised right now. β
Long Xiang's eyes narrowed into a slit: "There are five people in Yunmengguan, three hundred elite soldiers, I think this is something that the other side never expected." β
Lin Zixuan noticed that there was a hint of implication in Long Xiang's words, and he couldn't help but turn his head sideways and look back thoughtfully: "What do you intend to do? This cloud dream view can't be kept!"
Unless you are a madman, you will think that a mere Taoist temple has the power to oppose the imperial court. Even the terrain here is indeed very dangerous.
"Of course I know it, and I don't intend to stay here. β
Long Xiang chuckled, and his eyes moved with the figure of Li Shimin below: "But if it's just this guy? β
Lin Zixuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly: "You want to kill him, see if I'm not mistaken, the person next to him is the former Shaolin Temple's first Buddha Buddha Buddha of King Kong Hall." In addition, according to the information you have gathered, Luo Li has been confirmed, and he is under his hands. It's very expensive to do it here,"
'Long Xiang' turned back coldly: "But we already have to give up here, don't we? It is estimated that the number of people we can take away will not exceed fifty." Don't tell me, you are a true person, and you have not mastered a method of sacrifice!"
Lin Zixuan and the 'Dragon Phase' only looked at each other for a moment, and their murderous determination was already unshakable. It is clear that he has already made up his mind, that is, no matter what the price is, he will get rid of Li Shimin here.
And after he heard this, his expression also moved slightly: "I estimate that Wang Chonggu and the others will rush here in a moment or two at most." β
"But I think that Kinnara and the others, as well as the 'celestial beings' of the Throne Division, can still do it for a moment to stop them. β
As 'Long Xiang' was saying this, his face suddenly changed greatly.
That Lin Zixuan was also shocked, looking at the purple-gold cylinder held by Li Shimin below.
"This is, Taiwei Xuanshu induces the child and mother god thunder?"
With a beam of light, it erupted from the cylinder. The entire south side of this cloud dream temple first shone with a strong light, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion, and then the mountain shook and a large amount of earth and rocks collapsed down. The originally solid southern section of the outer wall has collapsed in a large area. Even the foundation of Yunmengguan has been destroyed on a large scale.
Even the other three surrounding exterior walls were also heavily cracked. Many of the soldiers above were unable to stand firmly, and they were all knocked to the ground, spilling blood from their mouths.
Lin Zixuan and Long Xiang not only glanced at each other in shock, but they both knew that the next problem was not only how to kill that tricky guy, but how to destroy the traces in the view before the other party broke through the Yunmeng Temple, and cut off the traces that could be traced by the embroidered guards.
"Fortunately, the circle here has not been completely damaged. I can fix it a little bit and hold it up for a while. If you want to do it, do it as quickly as you canβ"
Lin Zixuan said without hesitation, and hurriedly walked down the stone stairs.
And Long Xiang continued to look at Li Shimin, and the murderous intent in his eyes not only did not subside, but became more intense.

When the southern wall of Yunmengguan collapsed, the 1,000 forbidden army array under the command of Li Shimin waited until the soil that rolled down stabilized before it began to impact upward.
This gave the above a lot of time to react and rearrange the defenses. But the collapsed mountain will cause a landslide at any time. Li Shimin couldn't help but wait for the tumbling soil layer to stabilize, and ordered a few magicians who had already been ready to use the soil spell to strengthen the mountain in front of him before launching an offensive.
At this time, behind the array, there were hundreds of forbidden soldiers firing arrows at the same time, blocking the crack in the outer wall with a rain of arrows. The twenty heavy crossbows here are aimed at the stone tower above. Unfortunately, the angle is not right, and the other effects are extremely limited. Only those four small stone machines can pose a huge threat to the above, and they can be small in number, and they are equally ineffective.
Fortunately, those stone towers were also not lightly damaged in the detonation just now, and two of them even collapsed directly. Therefore, the arrows above were sparse, and most of them were obscured by the heavy shield in front of them.
However, when the thousand-person army array advanced to a distance of two hundred zhang, there was suddenly an invisible ripple in the Taoist temple, spreading outward. As a result, all the forbidden troops who participated in the feint attack felt a heavy pressure on them at the same time. It's best to carry three or five sandbags on your back, and every time you move, it's extremely difficult.
And the speed of the advance of this army formation also decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when the distance reached a hundred zhang, it was almost advancing at a turtle speed.
Even Li Shimin felt a lot of pressure. He took the lead, and at this time, he was wearing the 'Heavenly Thunder Shadow', a king-level ink armor, and walked at the forefront of the array.
Even where he is now, he also feels that his legs seem to be filled with a layer of lead, and his steps are heavy.
- Actually, this speed is so slow that it is nothing, the key is the physical exertion. Only this short 100 zhang, most of the soldiers in the formation were sweating profusely and panting like oxen.
Only Shi Benwu by Li Shimin's side is still business as usual, and he has no feeling for the pressure on his body at all. However, they can't stop and rest, and the speed of conquering this Cloud Dream Temple directly determines their harvest in this Taoist Temple, so they must race against time.
And when they entered the eighty zhang, there were huge fireballs condensed above them. There are twelve in total, all of them are the size of a water tank, and the color is red, and the temperature is obviously not low.
Li Shimin thought to himself, sure enough, this 'too micro Xuanshu inducts the child and mother god thunder', and he can't help it. The other party not only has a master of this level of magic, but also is good at the method of talisman array, and the time to repair the mountain protection array is far faster than he imagined!
When these twelve fireballs fall down, it is estimated that the casualties of the forbidden army in this array will be at least more than eighty!
Li Shimin didn't care, just as if he didn't see it, and continued to move forward.
In the next moment, when the twelve fireballs fell, more than a dozen ice arrows immediately shot at their rear. As the ice and fire collided in the air, the extreme cold and the extreme heat collided, and a fierce cloud of fire burst open, and clusters of smoothies sprinkled down.
There are only two fireballs, dodging the ice arrows. But at this time, in the military array, there were also two people who flew into the air, and in the air ten zhang high, they smashed the fireball with a white sword.
At this scene, all of a sudden, the forbidden army subordinates below, who were still a little apprehensive, looked settled, and their steps under their feet were firm.
At the same time, the warning sound from Luo Li also reached Li Shimin's ears.
