Chapter 17: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
This is a golden building in a cave. The nine-storey gilded attic is supported by columns of chiseled gold, and the curly cornices are divided into two octagonal tiers that shimmer in the starlight. In front of the building is a huge jade platform surrounded by four flower-spraying pools in the central hall, and a row of golden Xingshen Palace lamps emitted a dazzling golden light on the stage. There is a golden bell hanging on the top of the cave, crossed by six rows of bright gold skeletons moving back and forth, six huge golden hammers are hanging upside down in the air, the hammer handle is connected to the gold frame, and crosses above the platform, fortunately there is no one on the platform at this moment, otherwise the people standing on the platform will break their bones and tendons if they are not careful. There is a stone door on the left and right sides of the roof of the hall cave, and the word "in" is engraved in the middle of the stone door on the left, and the word "out" is engraved on the right stone door. The door of the golden attic in front of the hall is open, and a bright gold treasure chair inlaid with beautiful jade and diamonds is seen in the hall, a gold plaque on the hall reads "Guangzong Yaozu" four big characters, a pair of couplets on both sides, the upper couplet reads "Look at the stars of Chuangyu", and the lower couplet reads "Countless heroes who hold up the starry sky".
On each side of the hall were two groups of red and yellow guild guards, cheering for their guild elders, some holding high golden swords, some brandishing bright golden bows. The two red and yellow elders each stood above the platform, each standing on the sleek surface of an inverted golden hammer, and as the golden hammer swung, at the moment when the golden hammer crossed, the golden swords in the hands of both sides pointed at each other's vital points and dealt a fatal blow.
The princess narrowed her eyes, and gently covered the golden light with her slender hands on the pergola, looking for a closer look.
At this time, I saw that the six pendulum-like golden hammers on the platform were flickering forward and backward, left and right. A golden-haired and yellow-bearded old man wearing a yellow vest covered with bright gold armor was jumping up from the golden hammer under his feet, making a move of the dragon swim in the air, and the bright gold sword in his hand stabbed at the red-faced old man on the opposite side of the hammer.
"Beware! Elder of the Red-Faced Demon Lord. โ
A woman in the RED team in a red dance dress with a bright gold armor and three stars on it, apparently the captain of the RED team's guards, shouted.
Hearing this, the red-faced demon lord was slightly red-haired, and his left hand shook his red brocade robe, and he had pulled out a fence from the bright gold armor, which was not a fence for fishing noodles, but a multi-functional protective fence made of bright gold.
Taking advantage of this moment, the red-faced demon lord waved his right hand, making a move of the dragon chanting the sea and Wuzhouping, and the sword qi carried the dragon chanting and roaring, attacking the heart of the yellow-bearded old man.
"Beware! Huang Xia is an old man. Someone in the yellow team also let out a rough and coquettish snort.
As soon as the yellow-bearded old man saw the tip of the golden sword being ranked, he hurriedly changed his move, and suddenly his right arm became paralyzed, and a soft soft force spread to the tip of the sword, and the sawtooth of the fence suddenly became slow, taking this opportunity, Huang Xia Lao Fu'er had already pulled out the bright golden sword.
Before he could retreat, a golden sword was already pointing at his heart.
Huang Xia Lao Fu'er urgently swung his tail with an oolong--- his body had passed, the horse coat suffered, only a millimeter, and the sharp sword blade failed to pick out the heart, but picked the yellow horse coat into the air.
"Awesome!"
Huang Xia screamed in surprise, and hurriedly did three backflips, standing on the hammer swinging behind him.
With his back against the handle of the hammer, the hand holding the sword holds a fist:
"Elder Red-Faced Demon Monarch, he really deserves to be the big shopkeeper of the pawnshop, and even took out the cooking fence at the bottom of the box, which can be regarded as a trick to beat me."
"Ha Luha, I said that I won or lost in one move, since you, the gold shop owner, are not as good as me, then I am the acting lord." The red-faced demon lord also hugged his fists and treated each other with courtesy.
The owner of the gold shop smiled slightly: "Don't worry, since you want to be the acting lord, I have no opinion, but I don't know if others have any opinions." โ
"Who dares to have an opinion?" The Red-Faced Demon Lord Elder was a little puzzled.
"I have an opinion!" A bell-like voice came from the Yellow Team.
The red-faced demon lord looked at it with red eyes, it turned out to be a monk, with a string of prayer beads in his hand, barehead in his fifties, a straight nose and a square mouth, ears as big as a wheel, black eyebrows and eyes, and a strong spirit.
"Do you dare to pull teeth out of the mouth of a T-Rex? Do you dare to snatch eggs from the mouth of a giant python? The Red-Faced Demon Lord said.
"Poor monks don't pull out teeth or grab eggs, I'm a member of Elder Huang Xia's family and friend group, I just show that I have an opinion."
"Where are you a monk?" The Red-Faced Demon Lord said.
"You should call me Mage." The monk said, "I am from Guanghua Temple on Jizu Mountain. His name is Master Toiyaku. โ
"It turned out to be (โoโ) You, Jiu Yang, are you the head of the empty mage who fought all over the 21st Temple of the Transit Star?"
"Exactly." Head also empty mage said.
"Ha Lu, what a fate," said the red-faced demon lord, "I have long heard that you are a famous Zen master who deeply understands the true taste of the word 'emptiness' in Zen, and everyone says that your hands are empty, your feet are empty, your stomach is empty, and your head is empty, can you tell me if I am empty?" โ
"Some of your places are empty, and some of your places are not." Head also empty mage said.
"Can you elaborate on what I don't have empty?"
"Your stomach is not empty, some are chickens, dogs, donkey meat, your brain is not empty, it is full of hydrocephalus, your mouth is not empty, it is stuffed with Yonedako."
"Then could you please see which places I am empty?" The Red-Faced Demon Lord humbly asks for advice.
"With my head and empty mage, your ambition will be empty, your greed will be empty, your goal will be empty, and your ideal of being the acting lord will be empty."
"For what?" The Red-Faced Demon Lord said, "If it's really like what you said, aren't I just the four big ones empty?" It's better to go up the mountain and become a monk. โ
"If you go up to the mountain and become a monk, I can take you as a disciple." Head also empty mage said.
"I don't want to be a monk yet, I want to sit on that golden chair." The Red-Faced Demon Lord said and pointed to the golden chair in the hall.
Touyekong Mage Ha Luha smiled: "I have an opinion on you sitting on that chair, and I have no opinion on letting Huang Xia Lao Fu'er sit on it." โ
"It seems that you have a lot of opinions, you are an opinion basket monk." The Red-Faced Demon Lord said, "As the saying goes, it's annoying to give more opinions, so I should also give you some guidance for you to give you less opinions." โ
"You're giving the mage some pointers?" The head is also a little surprised.
The red-faced demon lord shook the fence in his hand and said to the monk:
"What is the shape of the fence in my hand?"
"Round." The monk said.
"What is the shape of your monk's head?"
"It's also round." The head also answered without thinking.
"That's right," said the Red-Faced Lord, "I'll point this round fence at the top of your head, and then a little bit over your head, and you'll be in a state of maze." That's the maze of pointing. Do you know the way? Mage. โ
"Don't you care if I guide you to become a monk?" Head also empty mage said.
"I don't care." The red-faced demon lord said, "It's a big deal that you call Master, it's not a big deal, it's not a big deal, it's not appropriate to eat or drink." โ
"Then you can put your finger on it." Head also empty mage said.
"Look at the move!"
The red-faced demon lord will be vertical, make a move to arrange flowers to cover the top, the body looks like a dragon out of the mountain and flies into the air, press the mechanism, and a fence rotates with sawtooth splitting head cover and smashes towards the top of the monk's head.
"Good time!"
As he spoke, the mage was not in a hurry, and when he saw a round of fences as a hood, he saw him gently pull his robe onto the curle......
The red-faced demon lord was slamming at the monk's head with all the strength of his life, and suddenly the monk's head was gone, and the fence swept quickly, leaving two shoulders to support a yellow shirt.
The red-faced demon lord was shocked and exclaimed: "What a monk, sure enough, his hands and feet are empty, and his head is empty, and he turns his head empty when he succeeds or fails in one move......"
Before the words fell, I felt a shock in my arm, and the bright gold sword had been kicked away by the monk, only to see the mage's head shake, and his figure had come to the red-faced demon lord, reaching out to take off the monk's shoes, and facing his red face is a crazy fan. At the same time, the mage's voice was heard:
"The mage is still here, and the demon lord is blushing."
The red-faced demon lord's red face was indeed red from the soles of his shoes, and the swelling pain (โงโฝโฆ) was unbearable, and his heart became more and more frightened, and he felt that his wrist was numb, and the fence had been taken away by the mage.
The head is also empty Master holds the fence in his hand, and comes to the empowerment of Daigo, the bright gold fence has been buckled on the head of the red-faced demon lord, the hole in the fence is open, the circular sawtooth flies, and the mouth reads:
"If you don't stick it, you can't take it off, and if you don't get away, you can't leave."
In an instant, his red hair was shaved off, his head was shiny, and the top of his head was bare, like a monk.
Then he kicked the handle of the hammer and kicked the Red-Faced Demon Lord off the hammer and tumbled onto the platform.
"Good martial arts!" There was another rough and coarse voice from the yellow team.
Master Touyekong put on the monk's shoes leisurely and smiled: "This master will choose to accept you as an apprentice one day." โ
The red-faced demon lord got up from the platform and grinned in severe pain:
"Elder Ben is naturally willing to bow down if he is defeated by the sole of your shoe within one move, but when it is not your apprentice, it is not up to you to decide, I have to ask my relatives and friends if they have any opinions."
Master Touyekong smiled again: "Ha Luha, you also have a group of relatives and friends?" Where is it? โ
The red-faced demon lord raised his hand, and the stone door with the word "enter" on the left side of the cave roof quietly opened, "Ding Yu Yu", where the golden bell rang, a snow-white flying horse flew to the platform with a red scarf and a charming figure.
"I have an opinion." Said the charming figure.
The head is also empty, and the mage fixed his eyes, only to see that this woman has a beautiful figure, a tight-fitting red dress, a red scarf masked, only a pair of Danfeng beautiful eyes are exposed, and the Ying Ying looks even more heroic, and the willow waist is wrapped around an apricot yellow silk silk, and the eight treasures of the golden bell are hanging.
"Why does the female benefactor mask and show her face? Where is your hometown? Master Touya said.
The female benefactor didn't answer, and with a turn, she pulled out a cold and shining full moon scimitar from the hanging knife from her waist, and said in a coquettish voice:
"The head is also empty, I have heard for a long time that you have traveled all over the world and are well-informed, can you recognize this Cold Star Lonely Shadow Bright Moon Knife?"
Master Touyekong took a look, took a look, and smiled: "This knife poor monk knows a little about its origin, it is owned by the eighteen horsemen of Yanyun under the command of Luo Yi, a famous minister of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the poor monk also heard that these eighteen hussars killed 20,000 soldiers and several partial generals in one day, the legend is more evil, and then he was drunk by the stupid boy Yumian Han Gun Luo Cheng for a day, and the eighteen horsemen were dismissed in a daze, and even the nursery rhyme of our planet has this sentence: 'Luo Cheng is drunk with a puddle of mud, and dismisses the eighteen horsemen of Yanyun. Who knows that a few brothers came to gather in the Hanging Temple. โโ
"Ha Luha, it seems that the mage knows a little bit about this knife." The masked woman in the red scarf said with a smile.
"Now you have the same knife in your hand, did you snatch theirs? Or did you co-opt them? Master Touya said.
"Ha Lu Ha ---" The woman in red smiled again, "I won't answer you first, you can first tell me how the stupid boy Luo Cheng abandoned the Eighteen Riders?" โ
"It's all his daughter-in-law who made trouble," Master Touyekong said, "Luo Cheng is also a person of lust, although he is not **, but he also attracts beautiful women, and he flocks to him, and he marries seven daughters-in-law before and after." Among them, the highest martial arts is Lao Qiji Sanchun, one of her cloud-swallowing snake swords can be expanded and contracted freely, hitting the ringing horses of the eighteen mountains of Liuzhou, the heads of people are rolling everywhere, and the corpses are all over the field, making the thieves tremble and chill. The second most martial arts are the old Erhu Jin Chan and the third Wang Jin'e, and the other few martial arts are mediocre and can only be counted as embroidered girls in front of the hall. This season's Sanchun is extremely beautiful, glamorous, and jealous. One day when Luo Cheng returned home, he happened to see Ji Sanchun and the old Erhu Jinchan and the third Wang Jin'e arguing, so angry that Luo Cheng drank five jars of wine and got drunk, and the three mothers-in-law escalated the scolding war, and couldn't help but hold their jade arms and sleeves in front of the hall and start moving. Ji Sanchun fought the second and third children without fear, and one move only made the second and third children have unkempt sideburns, blue noses and swollen faces, and the two had to cry to their husbands. Luo Cheng was moved, and with the power of wine, he grabbed Ji Sanchun and hugged his head and hit him, Ji Sanchun flashed sideways, "You dare to hit me!" Show eyes round star, come to a trick to stir up the clouds and rain, the jade hand raised 'pop papa' and gave Luo Cheng three slaps, Luo Cheng immediately had five fingers red on a jade face, he surged up with his wine, and was about to fight back, when Yan Yun eighteen horsemen heard the sound and rushed to persuade him. Luo Chengzheng was worried that the evil fire had nowhere to go, and said angrily: "What are you involved in my family's affairs, get out!" Disappear in front of me right away. So he punched and kicked Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen out of the door, and ordered the family to sprinkle ten barrels of tung oil outside the door and light a fire. For a moment, the fire was in the sky, the smoke was filled, and the eighteen horsemen could not get close, so they had no choice but to wander in the mountains and forests, and then how they arrived at the Hanging Temple of Puliace Xingyanyun Mountain as the nursery rhyme said. โ
"Ha Luha, your head is empty, you are right," said the woman in red, "Do you want to know how the Eighteen Horsemen of Lu Dao arrived at the Hanging Temple?" โ
"I really want to know Lu Dao," his head shook his empty head, "You can talk about it, the poor monk listens." โ
"That's right, it's a long story," the woman in red said, "I'm the Yanyun County Lord of Yanyun Mountain in Priace Star, and the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun were originally my personal guards. You know that I like to make friends with strange people in the world, and I am friends with Xu Maogong of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. That year, I went to visit him, and we came to Earth on a flyship, adjusted the time machine, and entered the Tang Dynasty through the Golden Triangle wormhole. Unfortunately, the airship was struck by lightning, and the six-way power ball lost energy and could not be driven, and the airship crashed into the wild forest on the shore of the Eighteen-Mile Lake. In order to restore kinetic energy, the airship urgently needs sapphires, because with sapphires we can extract energy. We asked, but when the fishermen saw us scattered, they ran away, shouting, 'Ghost, ghost!' It turned out that the appearance of our aliens frightened them. We all had lake-blue hair and eyebrows, and our ears were round. So I ordered Yan Yun to ride eighteen horses in black and masked from now on, and as the master, I also wore red clothes and masked. After many inquiries, we finally learned from the fishermen that Master Nengxing of Jingxin Temple on the island in the middle of the lake in the eighteen miles of Lake had a sapphire. So we rented a boat from the fishermen and rowed to the island in the middle of the lake, but there was an ugly demon at the bottom of the lake, known as the 'sloppy madman', who saw outsiders and stirred up a huge wave at the bottom of the lake, which turned our boat upside down. You know, we didn't bring Pegasus that time, although Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry is strong in martial arts and good at riding and shooting, but he can't swim, and I am also a landlubber. When he was exhausted and about to die in the belly of the fish, Luo Cheng's father, Luo Yi, happened to be hunting on the shore, and when he heard the cry for help, he hurriedly found a boat and threw a rope to save us. When he heard that we were looking for sapphires, he said that it was so difficult, that he had always been close to the Master of the Performing Profession. Immediately happily went to the Meditation Temple alone, and came to the sapphire for us. In order to thank Luo Yi for saving his life, I left Yanyun Eighteen Riders by his side......"
"I see." Master Touyaku said, "What about later? How did Yanyun Eighteen Riders come back? โ
"You listen to me, your head is empty," said the county lord of Yanyun, "That's the case, you know that Luo Cheng has always had a bad relationship with the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qi, Li Yuanji, and the two always want to eradicate him, Xu Maogong has already calculated that Luo Cheng will have a catastrophe in the silt river on the outskirts of Liuzhou on a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day." In order to save him, Xu Maogong wrote a note and sent someone to hand it to the Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen stationed in the jungle camp, and the Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen sent the contents of the note to me through the cosmic hotline of the handheld. The note read: 'Fake soldiers are ambushed in the river of silt, and the fake is the real thing. Seeing the content of the note, I was happy in my heart, I immediately acted according to the plan, built a clone Luo Cheng, took him on the flying ship, came to the outskirts of Liuzhou, took advantage of the night to replace the real Luo Cheng, the next day Clone Luo Cheng and Su Dingfang fought, Su Dingfang was defeated and fled, crossed the silt river, demolished the Shilong Bridge, and hid in the formation. Fake Luo Cheng chased to the river and saw the fake Su Dingfang standing in the middle of the river, reining in the horse, I don't know what the plan is, the lightning white dragon horse under the crotch with his legs, jumping into the river, who knew that this was a silt river, he and the horse were trapped, and the shore was full of arrows, and the fake Luo Cheng died under the arrow. That night, I rode a Pegasus to the body of the fake Luo Cheng and took out the clone master chip, so that the real Luo Cheng was safe and sound, and the clone Luo Cheng could also be resurrected. Then return to the flying ship, and at the same time recruit Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen. At this time, Luo Cheng also came with Ji Sanchun. I asked him why he didn't bring all his wives with him. He said it was too much trouble. So I drove the flying ship and took them back to the Hanging Temple of Yanyun Mountain. โ
"You're a graft, aren't you?" Head also empty mage said.
"Strictly speaking, this is the golden cicada coming out of its shell, using the cover of fake Luo Cheng to make the real Luo Cheng get rid of the framing and control of the prince and the king of Qi, otherwise, the bad guys will frame Luo Cheng one after another, and they will not stop until they achieve their goal."
"Now it's time for Luo Cheng to enjoy Qingfu. Yanyun's eighteen horsemen should also be put on Nanshan. "The head is also empty.
"No, they are practicing martial arts every day, Ji Sanchun also learned the neutron gun, and now their weapons and equipment have been upgraded, and they are ordered to garrison the Thunder Pool and the Hanging Temple, if you are not satisfied, you can go there, I don't think you dare to take a step beyond the Thunder Pool."
"Whoever said that I didn't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, I would not accept Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry and Luo Cheng." Head also empty mage said.
"You have a chance to go to the Thunder Pool to compete with them, but today you have to pass my level first." Lord Yanyun said.
"Then you let the horses come." Head also empty mage said.
The county lord of Yanyun grabbed the pegasus between his legs and flew towards the head of the empty mage. The Cold Star Lonely Shadow Bright Moon Knife in her hand was originally a three-in-one knife, and the knife had a doppelganger, only to see her jade hand raised, so that a move of thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed, and the knife body turned into a thousand flying knives, flying towards the head.
As soon as he saw the flying knives flying in front of him, he hurriedly jumped into a gecko swimming against the wall, and his body had climbed along the hanging hammer to the bright gold skeleton, just avoiding the forest of flying knives.
As soon as the county lord of Yanyun saw that he missed the blow, he immediately raised his hand and withdrew the flying knife. With a twist, he took out eight eight-treasure golden bells from his waist, and the jade teeth bit o(>_
