Volume 2 The Journey Chapter 98 The Beginning of the Westward Journey
When the bloody remnant sun hung in the western sky, the sentinels sent by Qingyangmen brought back the depressing news: the Western Chu army that had been scattered at the foot of Qingyang Mountain had regrouped, set up camp in thirty miles, and surrounded the road from south to north with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Zhang Qiyan immediately convened a meeting in Qiucao Pavilion, in addition to the helmsmen of the four major sects and the representatives of the new generation of forces and demon clans, Zhang Qiyan also specially invited Zhao Zihan and Yan Mei'er to participate.
The Autumn Grass Pavilion is an open stone pavilion on the flat grass of the back mountain, and the west side of the pavilion is the palace where Zhang Zhangmen usually cultivates and lives.
In the face of such a formidable enemy, every battle is a matter of life and death, no one is sure that he will survive to see the sun tomorrow, and any warrior has the right to know all the arrangements.
"After inspection, the mountain protection array has not stopped attacking too much, and the mountain protection god has lost most of its divine power, I am afraid that it will not be able to wake up again, and Qingyang Mountain will definitely abandon it. ”
Zhang Qiyan said very bluntly at the beginning, and the disciples of various factions standing ten meters away from the Autumn Grass Pavilion suddenly exploded, but several masterminds in the pavilion looked like they were unwavering.
"The next step is to retreat to Changsha City in the Yue Kingdom and defend the city. "This is the heart shadow of the flowerless mountain Fang who speaks.
Fang Xinying's actual age is rumored to be over fifty, but she looks like she is forty years old at most, and she exudes the afterglow of a mature woman.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Fang Xinying is a mysterious woman who rarely leaves Wuhua Mountain, but she is afraid that her magic is still above Tian Yunsheng, and she is not much different from Qin Wuji of the Martial Pole Palace, and she has always been feared by Qin Wuji.
But seeing that this woman is dressed like a cloud, she looks like a cheongsam, but it is not the current style, it is about the "Tang costume" in ancient times, right?
The clothes on her body are the color of light white jade, and when combined with her long cloud-like hair, there is a faint nobility appearing. She stood there, under the spring sun, as if this pale white was the most beautiful and purest color in the world, and she was the most awe-inspiring and inviolable woman in the world.
This woman is unusual. Zhao Zihan was secretly worried in his heart.
The Yue Kingdom roughly belongs to the territory of Wuhua Mountain, and the retreat to Changsha is naturally led by Wuhua Mountain.
Changsha City is an ancient city with a long history, although the old city was also destroyed in the catastrophe three thousand years ago, but the new city was built on the old city, the tall and strong city wall of the mainland is the first, still better than Los Angeles three points.
What is even more rare is that it has been able to retain many ancient relics, the poetry wall on Yuelu Mountain, the word forest at the head of Orange Prefecture and the scripture pavilion standing by the river, and even almost all the ancient and ancient grand chapters and famous works, which have always been the holy place for literati to learn from objective Mo, and are famous all over the mainland.
What is more amazing is that the Yue people are not only extremely prosperous, but also known for their bravery, ancient clouds: the Yue country is not destroyed, Yingzhou is not dead, and those who have the country can win the world.
"If Changsha City cannot be defended, it will retreat to the Hangzhou City of Wu State. Fang Xinying said this, and looked at Tang Zhi'an of the Yuan Sword Sect with a pair of wonderful eyes.
Tang Zhi'an is a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is over half a hundred years old, and it is rumored that in recent decades, the two strongest swordsmen on the mainland are Tang Zhian and Zhang Qiyan.
When the two were in their prime, they were also brave and aggressive, and the reputation of the two was comparable, and they were happy to see the two of them on the rivers and lakes, and it just so happened that neither of them was convinced of each other.
I heard that the two had secretly tried once on the first peak of Wushan, and that time they fought for three days and three nights, destroying countless places of interest and historic sites, many houses, trees breaking and landslides, and the sky was angry and resentful.
At that time, the outside world was very concerned about the outcome of the two of them, but the two of them were talking about this matter in unison, and outsiders did not know.
It's just that since this competition, the rivers and lakes have been a lot quieter, because the two of them have been hiding in their respective sects for many years.
Since then, the personalities of the two people have changed greatly, and they are no longer the kind of hot-blooded stabs who draw swords on the street and kill people in ten steps, but gradually because of their strong swordsmanship and calm personality, they have become famous in the mainland and have grown into the heads of their respective sects.
Yuan Jianzong is on Jiuhua Mountain in the Kingdom of Wu, if he retreats to Hangcheng, the responsibility of the natural principal will be handed over to Yuan Jianzong.
Tang Zhi'an glanced at Zhang Qiyan and said, "The most important thing at the moment is that Zhang Shaoxia and Miss Yan should immediately set off and go to find the holy mountain of Laoshizi Holy Lake. ”
"One of these two people is a disciple of Qingyang, and the other is a disciple of the demon clan, and I also ask Zhang Da and Qiao Banshee to make arrangements for this matter as soon as possible. ”
Tian Yunsheng immediately nodded in agreement, and he said: "From Los Angeles to Qingyang Mountain, there have been a few vicious battles, not to mention that no one hurt half of the monster's hair, but we have lost a lot of manpower, and even the old man almost died in the wilderness." ”
"If we don't get the power of the starry sky, we will be finished sooner or later if we continue to fight like this, and this matter must not be delayed. ”
At this time, in addition to the main figures of the various factions in the stone pavilion, there were hundreds of people standing a few meters away from the stone pavilion, so many people were listening quietly, and at this moment, their eyes were all looking at Zhao Zihan and Yan Mei'er.
Zhao Zihan never thought that there would be such an eye-catching day in his life, and under the gaze of everyone, he couldn't help but feel a little drumming, uneven breathing, and hurried.
Yan Mei'er seemed much calmer, stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhao Zihan, and said with a little excitement: "I have discussed it with Han Han, so I will set off and go all the way to the west. ”
Zhao Zihan saw that Yan Mei'er was talking so much, and his heart was suddenly anxious, and he couldn't help but snort: "Return... Return... Go back to P!"
The last few words were very low and indistinct, and no one could hear them clearly, but he said them without beginning or end, and he seemed to be extremely unconfident but let everyone see them clearly.
Zhang Qiyan immediately made a straight face when he heard this, and looked at him as if he was about to reprimand, and looked at Zhao Zihan with a cold face for a long time, but his expression gradually eased.
"This road is high and the mountains and rivers are evil, the road is difficult and dangerous, and there are many unknown difficulties, at present, the army is pressing, even if it is more manpower, I am afraid that it will not only be useless, but will also expose the goal and intention, and cause trouble. “
"The two of you are not weak in cultivation now, let's think about it again, this time only the two of you will go west together. ”
After saying this, he felt ashamed in his heart: such a heavy burden, the future of the entire continent and the survival of the human race must be handed over to these two young people of the demon race, but in his heart, there is still an innate disgust and dislike for the demon race, let alone others.
These two children are not only burdened this time, even if they really appease the rivers and mountains one day, there is still a long way to go to make the entire human race accept the demon clan.
Then Qiao Wuna, Fang Xinying and other bigwigs also stepped forward to comfort them warmly, and they explained a lot in a chattering manner, and Lan Yue Ziyue and others even came over to cheer Zhao Zihan up, touching his shoulder and patting his back to show affection and encouragement.
Yan Mei'er took the opportunity to pull Sister Una aside and whispered about the Demon Star, Qiao Una was shocked and inexplicable, and suddenly realized: No wonder when I talked to Nie Ancestor about the little banshee coming south, the Ancestor seemed to be unsatisfied, and he stopped talking.
It turns out that there is such a secret in this little banshee.
The emergence of the magic star needs to be nourished by war, and the more you fight, the stronger you become, once the magic star comes out, no one can be it. If this is the case, it is no wonder that the ancestor is so relieved to let her enter the tiger's den alone.
She has such a monster possessed, if it weren't for the monster outside the star, I'm afraid that on the mainland, few people will have her, right?
I couldn't help but hug the little banshee lovingly, and said, "You are going to the Western Wilderness, you have to take care of yourself, we look forward to your safe return!"
Yan Mu'er didn't know what Mei'er and Qiao Wuna said, seeing that Mei'er was convenient, she stepped forward and hugged her sister, but glared at Zhao Zihan and shouted: "Don't lose my girl, she is disobedient, it's not easy for my mother to raise her to such a big age with a handful of and urine......"
When a purple waning moon hung in the middle of the sky, Zhao Zihan and Yan Mei'er packed their bags and slowly walked out of a remote path in the back mountain under the silent and eager gaze of many people, and embarked on the long road of tragic westward travel.
It was late autumn, the fog was deep and the dew was heavy, the moon was full of sky, and the wind was bleak and the water was cold.
No one noticed that almost at the same moment when everyone said goodbye to Zhao Zihan and Yan Mei'er, there was a faint figure on the mountain in front of Qingyang Mountain, stepping on the fog and riding the wind, extremely clever, silently bypassing one checkpoint after another, and when he touched no one around, he arrogantly flew up to the bottom of the mountain, and soon disappeared into the misty night.
**
Wen Chan was not embarrassed in her heart recently, looking at the winding Xichu army and the passionate comrades, she felt like the only sober person in a group of drunken people.
was ordered to take a few junior brothers and sisters to patrol the mountains, Wen Chan walked a little absent-mindedly, and silently sang an ancient song in her heart:
If life deceives you
Don't be sad, don't be anxious
Calm needs to be taken on a melancholy day......
Suddenly, a faint figure appeared in front of her, like a wisp of smoke, but how could she hide her superior spiritual sense and a pair of sharp eyes?
"Who?" Wen Chan shouted, her palms parted, and a golden halo circulated on her chest, and she was about to be embarrassed.
But I heard a panicked voice shouting: "Senior Sister Wen, don't do it, your own people!"
Why are your own people sneaking around here late at night? Wen Chan was surprised in her heart, and her hands slowed down.
I saw a flicker, a young man with a polite demeanor and a thief's eyebrows was already standing in front of him, his face seemed to be slightly sweaty, his expression was a little excited, he was wearing the clothes of Qingyangmen, and he looked very angry.
"Who the hell are you?" Wen Chan was on guard again, and several junior brothers and sisters behind her also started their posture, just waiting for the senior sister to give an order, and they were about to step forward to take someone.
"Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you!" The man suddenly recited an ancient poem, and his expression was quite exaggerated and mysterious.
"Ah!" Wen Chan was stunned: This is... But it is a secret cut between the secret stakes and sects that are planted in our sect among the various factions.
So, is he really a person from the Wuji Palace?
