Chapter III, Section 3
Aha, it's updated before the first month, which is a good sign...... It seems that this year will be another good year for the speed explosion and even the change~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the blink of an eye, it was October 14th.
Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, which was almost like a jade plate, Xiao Wenshuang's heart became more and more anxious.
It has been nearly a month since he entered Nadi, and it has been nearly 20 days since the news was cut off from the Taipingdao, although Yuqing said with certainty that "the overall situation is fine, and there will be no real decisive battle before winter", but when he couldn't hear any news at all, Xiao Wenshuang still couldn't feel at ease.
(But things are also important here...... )
When Xiao Wenshuang pondered, the flames were slicing and burning not far away, and the air was filled with the smell of blood, Gu medicine, and burning corpses, and there was a low moan, and occasionally the sound of weapons clashing, or the wail before death.
As the search line progressed, the Lunatic Cult was no longer blindly retreating, and various traps appeared one by one, ranging from the nest bow that cleverly used the terrain to place it, or the thick bamboo that had been sharpened, and the fierce or highly poisonous insects and beasts that were placed on some of the necessary paths. Just yesterday, Xiao Wenshuang witnessed how the four warriors of Heina quickly lost their combat effectiveness after straying into the poisonous spring, curled up in a ball and fell, although they were eventually rescued, they had completely lost their combat effectiveness.
There are also warriors who do not hesitate to die, forming a line of defense, trying their best to hold back the pursuing team, and according to those who know them, these are the core personnel and most loyal followers of the Lunatic Cult, including even one of the four great sacrifices.
However, it was not these that really slowed down the advance of this team, no matter how delicate and vicious the trap was, whether the blockers were brave or desperate, the power of great difference should have easily crushed these resistances.
(But that's a good thing.) )
With the advance of the team is accompanied by infighting and rumors, all kinds of rumors.
For example, some people are suggesting that the relationship between the Ghost Tajiang River and the Lunatic Worship Cult is simply untidy and chaotic, and the so-called "theft" Yunyun is just an internal strife between allies, even if it is not a good scene.
For example, some people are pursuing, listing the past events one by one, investigating the difficulties and successes of those Lunatic Cults, investigating who supported them in the first place, and who was protecting them.
“…… What a strange alliance. ”
Watching this group of "rabble" with the same goal move forward and pursue, Xi Qiyan and Zhu Shouyi, who were born in different directions, but had the same ideals, invariably sighed, and Xi Qiyan sighed and said that if you want to integrate such a force, I am afraid that only the Lunatic Worship Sect can do it.
"Although they share the name 'Naren', the contradictions, hatred and differences between them are beyond imagination...... Whether it is the Black Mountain Company or the Ghost Tajiang River, it can only be done in form. ”
"Because they don't have a common ideal."
Zhu Shouyi said such a thing, which can be called the most natural, because he himself is a typical person who gave up everything for the sake of "common ideals" and devoted himself to the Taiping Dao. For a long time, he almost did not participate in all kinds of wars, and the main work he was responsible for was to re-analyze and interpret those Confucian classics based on his own perceptions, and dig out the commonalities between them and the Taiping Taoist scriptures.
"The people of the Seven Shares and Buna are in conflict again."
Frowning, looking at the news she had just received, Xiao Wenshuang shook her head helplessly, but there was no way.
It seems that because of the loss of face in Jiaobo Village, Qigu Na and Buna were entangled to death, not only "Maple Tree" Changkong, "Copper Drum" Changge, and "Butterfly" Changqin all arrived, but also brought hundreds of sword soldiers, although the overall strength of the Buna clan is above the Seven Shares, but in the face of the elite opponents, their capital in the trial cave is indeed a little weaker.
"Speaking of which, isn't there a big difference in strength between the three leaders of the Seven Shares?"
I have seen Changqin and people on Jiaobo Village, in Xiao Wenshuang's assessment, even if he is allowed to sneak attack, he will not want to go through three moves under his hands, but judging from the records of the past few days, Changge is enough to fight against any of the Buna clan's Mo masters alone, and Changkong is even tougher to the point that even the big clans such as Ghost Na and Heina do not sell face.
"I haven't seen Changkong either, so it's hard to say, but Changqin originally got the name of 'butterfly' this year. The original butterfly died in battle last year. ”
"Oh."
Originally, he didn't take this matter to heart, Xiao Wenshuang nodded while continuing to observe the map in front of him intently, closing his eyes from time to time, and gently tracing along some routes on the map with his fingers.
"No matter how long it delays, it is impossible for the Lunatic Cult to hold these three places anymore, tomorrow ...... By noon tomorrow, their last line of defense will be broken through and will be squeezed here. ”
Point your finger at the top right of the map, where there is no detail at all, just a symbolic drawing of a few curves representing the mountain, and a deep black straight line. Xiao Wenshuang looked at it for a moment, turned her head and asked Xiao Qiyan.
"What is this?"
"Oh, it should be Wuxi."
Xiao Qiyan has never entered the trial cave, but he has heard some legends: it is said that at the bottom of the trial cave, there is a wide and deep river, and there is a strong miasma in the river, no one has ever seen a bird flying on the opposite side, no one has ever seen a beast drinking water by the river, as for what is on the other side of the river...... No one has ever explored it.
"I haven't seen it, but it's not necessarily a dangerous place that can't be crossed, but I don't know what's behind it, and it's hard to think it's worth the risk."
"Oh."
Xiao Wenshuang thought of things, but they were different from Xiao Qiyan,
"Here, it's a Jedi......"
Pursing her lips tightly, she walked away from the map, frowning, thinking about the current situation.
"There's no going back, and the end is already visible...... The question is, Lunaticians, what exactly are they thinking? carefully planned, offended almost all the Naren clans, and fled here with great difficulty, it is impossible to just wait for being forced to die in the ground...... What are they thinking? ”
Stepping out of the tent, looking up and seeing the bright moon in the sky, it was almost like a pearl, Xiao Wenshuang seemed to be able to see that at this time tomorrow, the jade plate that would be more complete seemed to be able to see, the Moon Worship Sect...... of collapse and destruction.
"Rest early today to make sure you're in the best shape tomorrow."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the twelfth year of Emperor Shaojing, October 15
It's dusk.
Half a month of chasing is finally coming to an end, this place is already the bottom of the trial cave, the remnants of the Lunatic Cult retreat in formation, behind it, is the miasma is so strong that you can't see the opposite side of the river.
(Very old place.) )
Don't have anything to worry about, Xiao Wenshuang looked quietly: the area of the last part of the trial cave is far smaller than the valleys that were connected by the ring before, the whole is a long and narrow valley, the left and right mountain walls are steep, the distance between them, the wide ones are about a hundred steps, the narrow ones are more than ten steps away, and there are many stone buildings, and it is only now that this place is a little open, with a flat terrain with a radius of more than seven hundred steps, if not, it is impossible for the Lunatic Cult members to maintain their defenses throughout the day.
In Xiao Wenshuang's eyes, those buildings were just defensive fortifications that were temporarily put to use, and although they were carefully designed, they were too dilapidated to be able to stop the attackers who were so different. But in Wang Fuzhi's eyes, these buildings are out-and-out treasures!
From the moment he saw the first stone wall, he couldn't stop exclaiming, and from time to time he took out some silk paintings and books from his body to read and compare.
"Two thousand years, at least more than two thousand years...... I may even be two thousand years less! ”
Worthy of being known as "everything that the king doesn't use, he can remember" monster, Wang Fuzhi accurately recognized the origin of almost every carving or stone statue, according to him, this is the circulation of the Baina region since ancient times, and it can definitely be traced back to the era of King Sanna.
Wang Fuzhi's love for these things was not just in his mouth, and when he intervened several times to prevent the Namen from destroying the carvings along with the fortifications during the attack, he even almost invited a siege for himself. But the bell tie person can also untie the bell, just by looking from a distance, accurately judged that a certain building with a sacrificial purpose will inevitably find a breakthrough in a certain direction, Wang Fuzhi won back the favor and respect on his own.
And when entering the final area of the battlefield, Wang Fuzhi, he almost went crazy.
“…… King Sanna, that's definitely the place to worship King Sanna! ”
If it weren't for Wang Zhenzhi, who was most familiar with him, who had always maintained a high level of vigilance, he might even have swooped down on the Lunatic Cult like this.
"Look, Tajiang, big brother, the king of the Bai clan...... And the kings and chiefs. ”
Smiling sarcastically, Black Mountain Xiu, who had been independent in the middle of the front and maintained the morale and loyalty of the Lunatic Cultists, suddenly spoke.
"A Xia man, a Xia man who has never been to Nadi, can recognize the signs of our ancestors at a glance, but you will not be able to ...... until he explains so Hey, I see someone who is still confused. ”
Pointing to a leader in front of him, Heishan Xiu smiled and said, "You probably can't even remember who King Sanna is...... If you have forgotten your ancestors, can you still call yourself a Naren? ”
"Montenegro Show, what the are you arrogant, Lao Tzu ......"
That person is not a good man and a woman, but the head of the "Lanna" in Baina, called Lancelot, immediately jumped like thunder, halberd finger scolding, Montenegro Show has no foul words, just hehe sneered, occasionally a word, but it can make that person jump ten feet higher.
"Black two, Lancelot, you ......"
It seems that he can't stand it, Ghost Tajiang took a step forward and opened his mouth to mediate, but Xiao Wenshuang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in his heart: "Black Mountain Xiu directly called Ghost Tajiang by name, and Ghost Tajiang only called Hei Er, there is no such title as a sect leader, have these two been familiar with each other before?" Suddenly, he was startled, and he saw the figure of the black mountain show flashing, and the black robe hunted, turning into a strange floating shadow, hovering forward!
Montenegro's attack, not to mention the speed, is extremely unreasonable: the strong enemy on the opposite side is waiting, he is riding alone in the camp, it is ten deaths, but what is the plan?
Or it is precisely because none of the leaders, including Lancelot, have had time to react, only one ghost Tajiang seems to have predicted, and the black mountain shows that his body is moving, he roared sharply, and the sky-breaking hammer in his hand has also been shot!
In the crackling sound, few of them could see what was happening, only to see the black shadow flashing, the murderous aura overflowing, the rabbit and the falcon fell only a few times, the black mountain show had already flashed back to the main formation, still standing alone at the highest place of the moon worship cultists, still sneering slightly, if it weren't for the extra depression on his left shoulder, oozing a little red, and even people couldn't see that he had just moved with the ghost treading river.
"Head, head!"
The change was so fast that it was only after Lancelot was so depressed that everyone on his side reacted, and they rushed up, crying and grabbing the ground.
"Black Mountain Show, you!"
The one who was furious, but it was Bai Erniang, the king of the Bai Na clan, who was like the wind and attacked like the wind, but he didn't kill only Lan Slo, but he turned to fight with three surnames, and he was really strong and fast, such as Chu Bai, Hua Qisheng, etc., he was already a good hand with a head and a face, but he couldn't even support it, so he took his life.
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly think these names sound harsh......"
Raised his right hand slightly, there were four translucent souls in it, which seemed to be struggling.
"Chu Bai, Hua Qisheng, Lancelo, White Tooth...... It just so happened that to complete the blood sacrifice, there were still four souls missing. ”
"Blood sacrifice?"
One sentence reminded everyone, and finally set his eyes on the back of Black Mountain Xiu, Xiao Wenshuang was thinking to herself, but she heard a gurgling sound behind her, and when she looked back, it was Hua Shengrong, who was trembling.
"What's your trick again?"
Slightly displeased, Xiao Wenshuang opened her mouth to ask, but heard Hua Shengrong tremble and said: "I don't dare to have any tricks, but I suddenly understood a truth......
"The author of this book is really narrow-minded, and he will repay him...... No, no, I mean, it's really a happy man, who speaks like a mountain, and never keeps changing! ”
