Chapter 1 (full): The longest day

In the eleventh year of Emperor Shaojing, May 13.

Inside and outside Xingqing City, there is a depressed atmosphere. It's just that the Heishui army, which was dispatched to stop the main force of the Xiang people more than a month ago, has been defeated at night, and the defeat is so miserable: even the head of the six armies, the great Sima of the Xia Guan, the master of the Heishui Wanyan family, and the Wanyan Qianjun are seriously injured, and they can't even walk by themselves.

The only thing that is still worth being happy about is that the Xiang people did not get any benefits: in that extremely tragic battle, although the Blackwater Army suffered heavy losses, the Xiang people did not get any benefits, judging from the way they withdrew, at least for a long time, it is impossible to make a comeback, but in any case, in the end, more than 3,000 soldiers fell on the battlefield forever, and the number of serious injuries is roughly the same as this, for Xingqing, who is almost the entire city of the Blackwater clan, it means that at least thousands of families have to cry and taste sadness today.

Of course, not every family with a loved one who has fallen or been seriously injured is in a state of grief, for example... At this moment, the "first family" in Xingqing City.

"I was so badly injured that I couldn't even ride into the city in a carriage... Really? ”

With a longing glint in his eyes, he walked quickly around the room, his hands pinching meaninglessly, making a rattling sound.

"I think it's more likely that he didn't dare to go into the city, not to come to 'our' land."

Slowly touching his chin, Guigu Fulong, who was sitting quietly on the side of the window, formed a stark contrast with Wanyan Gaizhi, the only similarity between the two was that their brows were frowning.

"So, what do you think?"

Faced with the problem of changing his face, Guigu Fulong's face was like water, and he said quietly: "Go, you must go, but when and how to go... We have to wait until Puxian Wannu and Brother Cave send the news back. ”

Wan Yan Gaizhi snorted and said, "Just wait." And he said, "... What are you going to do over there? ”

Guigu Fulong said: "I have passed on the matter over there, and I have heard about it. ”

Wan Yan Gaizhi raised his eyebrows and said, "You really don't plan to intervene?" ”

Guigu Fulong smiled and said, "Why intervene? ”

"The more they fight, the weaker they become, the weaker they are, the more they can't get rid of us... Isn't this what we planned to do? ”

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, stopped in front of the door, did not speak, sent a tray in, that is, turned around and hurried away, Guigu Fulong picked up the thing on the plateβ€”it was a piece of armorβ€”and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It is the previous agreement." In the laughter, there was a strange light in his eyes.

"So...", his eyes also shone with a strange brilliance, and he finished his face: "It's time?" ”

Slowly getting up, Guigu Fulong bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

"It's time for us to go and meet Da Sima..."

Almost at the same time as Wanyan Gaizhi and Guigu Fulong left the mansion, on the barren mountain more than a hundred miles away from Xingqing, the Taoist with a calm face closed his palms and gently crushed the message he had just received.

"That's it."

"So, real person, let's go."

With no expression at all, Xiao Wenshuang regained her old outfit when she accompanied Zhang Nanjian's side: a deep black robe covered her body, and her face was a wooden mask with long hair.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, it's time to visit them..."

As the main fort of Wanyan's family, Xingqing City is of course also the place where the main force of the famous Blackwater Army is stationed, but, at the same time, as the central city of the entire Jinzhou, every piece of land in Xingqing City has a huge value, so as time goes by, the place where the garrison begins to move out slowly, until today, except for a few teams of people stationed near Wanyan's house, almost all the troops are stationed in an area about thirty to fifty miles away from the city, and according to the topography of the water source, it is divided into a total of eleven military camps, The big ones can camp tens of thousands of military horses, and the small ones also have 10,000 camps, but on weekdays, except for the three camps where the Tiefutu army is stationed, the military camps under the names of the eight tribes of Heishui, who have long been governed by one place, are basically empty.

After the defeat and retreat, the thousands of troops were stationed in one of the camps.

"That place was originally the military camp of the cave brothers, although they had already moved east to another town, but this place is still in their name, and it has not been renovated over the years, the scale of the barracks is roughly the same as before, and the cave brother is still the nominal landlord no matter what, and it is of course incumbent on him to be arranged..."

Walking side by side with Wan Yan Gaizhi, Guigu Fulong whispered the details of the target ahead, and came to this conclusion:

"Therefore, the place where Da Sima lives should be at the back of the entire camp, far away from the barracks, if the movement is not too big, I believe no one will notice."

Ru finally also had a lovely smile, his tone was flat, Guigu Fulong seemed to be talking about the most ordinary cold noise, only the cold light in his eyes flashed from time to time, revealing some different information.

As he spoke, he saw flags waving in front of him, and a few horsemen galloped over, but they were already close to the camp.

straightened up slightly, his face was expressionless, and he waved his hand: "Lead the way ahead." As soon as those people bowed together, they turned back the horse's head, led the two of them all the way, and turned into the camp, and then someone hit the horse to meet them, and arched his hand: "Second master." He added: "Great military division." After finishing his face and changing his head, Guigu Fulong said: "General Puxian Wannu has worked hard, Da Sima is fine, right?" The man waved his hand and ordered the previous leading sergeants to go, and Fang Gong said, "The military advisor is polite." After a pause, he said: "Da Sima's body is a little heavy, and he can't come to greet the second master, please move to the back." ”

After changing his face, he didn't care much, so he picked up his horse and moved forward, Puxian Wannu hurriedly led the way in front, but he heard Guigu Fulong ask casually: "The assassin hasn't been whereabouts a few days ago, Da Sima is injured now, you have to be careful when you shoot, how about the guards in the camp now?" Then he said: "Brother Cave is also following behind, Tuoba and Nalan are also injured, resting in their respective camps, the second master may as well go to visit for a while...", paused, and said: "Yelu is in good spirits, he is patrolling the camps on both sides at the moment, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come to see the second master for a while." After walking for a while, he said: "The front camp of this place is now guarded by our Puxian Wannu surname, and on both sides are the people of the Yelu family and the Nalan family, and the inner camp where the big Sima lives is full of the cronies of the cave brother, which is very reliable, and the second master and the big army don't have to worry." As he spoke, a very cruel smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

At this moment, the three of them were walking in two tents, and there was no one else around, Guigu Fulong saw a smile in his eyes, smiled coldly, and said, "That's good." ”

He also said: "Everything else is a small section, as long as the big Sima is settled 'properly', it will be fine." He didn't speak loudly, but Puxian Wannu trembled, and hurriedly said, "I know." ”

The two of them asked and answered, and they all listened to their ears, but they didn't hear it, and there was no expression on their faces, but they just silently held the reins, and in a blink of an eye they had come to a big tent - sure enough, they were very guarded, and there were no less than a hundred and ten strong men around, all with steel knives in their hands, their expressions were vigilant, and they were fierce, but their faces were full of confusion and frustration.

A giant man had already greeted him, arched his hand, and said, "Second master." Then he raised his voice inside: "Da Sima, the second master and the big army division are here." ”

I heard the faint sound of the word inside, and then I heard someone inside respond vaguely, and someone said respectfully: "Da Sima has something to say, please come in with the second master and the military advisor." After finishing his face, he didn't delay a little, he lifted the curtain with his hand, and went in, but Guigu Fulong stopped and waited for Brother Heishui Cave to guard the surroundings with a calm face: "The second master has something to discuss with Da Sima, give me ten steps outward, that one dares to eavesdrop, Lao Tzu will break his neck!" Fang smiled slightly, and followed Yan Gaizhi inside.

Brother Heishui Cave and Heishui Pu Xian Wannu glanced at each other, followed behind the two of them, and also entered the account.

More than 100 miles away, the giant gate gently put down the letter in his hand, and thought silently for a while before he said: "Zhenren, Yuqing Zhenren, they have reached thirty miles away, and they are about to come." ”

In the shadows, the Taiqing Zhenren, who was meditating on himself, but seemed to be shrunk into a ball no matter how he looked, didn't even open his eyes, but said vaguely: "Oh... Is it coming? That's something you have to be ready forβ€”" said in a lower voice, as if he had fallen asleep.

Jumen smiled, got up and went to the ground, paced a few steps, and suddenly said loudly: "Come on, prepare to welcome you!" ”

The tent was really big, and the four of them turned around, straight through four or five curtainsβ€”Fang understood why Shicai heard the sound inside so vaguelyβ€”Fang saw Wanyan Qianjun, leaning obliquely on a bed, his face was pale, not like usual, and the fog in front of him was a medicine pot, which was being boiled and bubbling, and a medicine boy was squatting on the side, not raising his head, just tending to the medicine pot. There was also an attendant on the side, hanging his hands, standing respectfully behind Wanyan Qianjun.

There were four other people in the tent, all of whom were broad-shouldered and strong, with faces like cast iron, and broad-mouthed broadswords with unsheathed swords hanging from their waists, standing on both sides like pillars.

Brother Heishui Cave and Heishui Pu Xian Wannu stopped after entering the tent with the two, and stood on both sides of the tent door, Wan Yan Gaizhi and Guigu Fulong walked forward a few steps, and saw Yan Qianjun raise his hand lightly and said, "Sit down." Fang Yiyan sat down.

Coughing twice, Wanyan Qianjun smiled bitterly: "This time, it's really a big loss, but it's a pity that I didn't listen to Mr.'s good words..." ”

Wanyan Qianjun stroked his chest and said: "My own brother, what to say, Xiang Ren is so stubborn, who would have thought..." But they are alone in South Vietnam, and they are so familiar with the Yihe garrison, there must be an internal response in this... Is there a clue to this internal matter? ”

After Yan Gai's heart jumped wildly, he held it strongly, and said in a bowed position: "This matter is also suspicious, and some clues have been investigated..." Heishui Puxian Wannu behind him stepped forward early, took it in his hand, looked at Yan Qianjun, and saw him nodding, so he bowed forward.

The breath that had changed his face was almost completely condensed.

The plot that has been planned countless times is finally close at hand, and Rao is fierce and stubborn and bold to change his face, and he can't be completely indifferent:

The veterans who are loyal to Wanyan Qianjun have been transferred, Brother Cave and Puxian Wannu have been promoted by themselves, and they have shown their loyalty many times, including the four people in the tent, and the guards here are all the henchmen of Brother Cave, and the old master in front of him has been seriously injured...

And more importantly, in the dossier that was being held in the hands of Heishuipu Xian Wannu, there was a scroll of black gold silk that was thinner than a hair, but stronger than an iron lock, and a volume of black gold silk that could cut off an adult man's throat with great ease.

When Wan Yan Qianjun owes himself to win the letter, Heishui Pu Xian Wan Nu will tear apart the file with extremely skillful movements, shake out the black gold silk in it, and strangle him, and even if this old and sick tiger still has enough strength to fight back, Wan Yan Gaizhi and Brother Heishui Cave, who have been watching and delaying, will not give him more opportunities.

In this process, there may inevitably be some voices, but when the children of the cave brother surnamed outside the tent are all the children of the cave brother, when the black water cave brother has specially told them not to interfere with the "deliberations" in the tent, it will not cause superfluous variables.

(Hey...) οΌ‰

With a low smile in his heart, Wan Yan Gaizhi only felt that all his internal organs were extremely hungry and thirsty, although he knew that there could be no abnormalities at this time, he still couldn't help it, and he wanted to raise his eyes to look at Wan Yan Qianjun who was sitting on it.

(Hey...) οΌ‰

After three or two steps, Heishuipu Xian Wannu had already walked in front of Wan Yan Qianjun with the dossier, and he was about to walk in front of Wan Yan Qianjun, Wan Yan Qianjun suddenly coughed violently a few times, his whole face was wrinkled in one place, his expression was extremely painful, and he reluctantly raised his hand and said: "Count... Forget it, you should read it to me..."Heishuipu Xian Wannu was stunned for a momentβ€”he was almost about to look at Guigu Fulong's eyes, but he held his palm, and with a promise, he turned around and walked towards Wanyan with the dossier in his hand.

Watching Heishuipu Xian Wannu approach step by step, he was very disappointed in his heart, but he had a very strange feeling.

If you want him to read it, there is no problem, Guigu Fulong's heart is as careful as a hair, and he has expected many variables, and there are indeed some related things in the dossier, but it stopped abruptly at the climax of his longing, but it made him have a strange sense of relaxation, and his mood has been tense like a string, and it is inevitable that there will be some chaos.

(Old fellow, luck is it...) οΌ‰

When he thought like this, Heishuipu Xian Wannu had already walked in front of Wan Yan Gai's body and said in a low voice: "Second master." After Yan Gaizhi casually agreed, he reached out to pick it up, but he was suddenly startled, and his body tensed!

And, before he could react more, Heishuipu Xian Wannu had already torn the file like lightning, and among the flying pieces of paper, there was a black light flickering, and it was twisted straight towards his neck!

"Phew!"

At the moment of life and death, Wan Yan Gaizhi finally showed the power that he didn't even use when facing Yingzheng before!

Bowed his head and bent down, although he still couldn't avoid the strangulation of the uginsi, but he successfully replaced the throat with the forehead, the uginsi was as sharp as a knife, and in just one moment, a deep blood groove had been strangled on his forehead, and the red splattered red!

"Get out!"

Roared again, turned his hands up, and grabbed the wrists of Heishuipu Xian Wannu after Yan Gaizhi, and twisted it with force, and the sound of broken bones sounded in a row, and Heishuipu Xian Wannu's face immediately turned pale, but he couldn't exhale!

Because, only slightly slower than the movements of his hands, Wan Yan Gaizhi had already bent over and bounced up, his legs kicked out in a row, one took the throat, the other took the heart, Heishui Pu Xian Wannu screamed miserably before the throat had been kicked off, and his huge body was kicked upside down and flew out, crashing straight into Wan Yan Qianjun!

But there was a lot of noise.

Like a thunderstorm, the huge iron shovel smashed straight down, slashed Wan Yan Gaizhi's right shoulder, smashed his body down, and actually planted it on the ground, knocking the previous chairs into a few places, he still didn't give up, only fell, bounced up, kicked his legs backwards, and forced the sneak attacker behind him to retreat - he already knew that it was the Black Water Cave Brother.

As soon as he raised his head, he already had a slender palm slapped down on his head, and there was a faint white light flashing on his hand, mixed with seven-colored brilliance, and somehow, he interfered with the operation of the true qi in his body, and he couldn't turn it in one breath, and fell back to the ground with a bang, and when he got up again, two knives and one sword were already pressed on his head at the same time.

"Shhhhh

Gritting his teeth, Wan Yan Gaizhi stared at the medicine boy who had just gently unloaded the body of Heishui Pu Xian Wannu, and then lowered his head and retreated, still blocking in front of Wan Yan Qianjun, and also saw that on the other side, Guigu Fulong had been cut off his shoulders by the other two guards and pressed on the table.

I also saw that Wanyan Qianjun's face suddenly no longer had any tiredness, and he was full of gloom, and slowly, with his hands behind his back, stood up from the Hu bed.

For a while, except for the tumbling sound in the medicine pot, there was no other sound in the tent, and the sound of blood gushing and flowing down his forehead was quiet, and his eyes and nose were covered clearly.

The first to break the silence was still Guigu Fulong.

"Da Sima."

In an instant, the roles of hunter and prey have been reversed, but Guigu Fulong can still maintain his calm, although half of his face is pressed tightly on the table, he still asks Wanyan Qianjun vaguely.

"Hmph."

With a snort in his nose, Wan Yan Qianjun raised his hand and said, "Let Mr. go." The two guards raised their hands a little higher according to the words, and Guigu Fulong smiled and said, "Xie Da Sima." But he didn't pay attention to him, so he stared at the medicine boy, looked at it, and suddenly smiled: "White Lotus Pure Land Eight Brothers, Compassion Huayan Five Princes... Who is you? The medicine boy looked at him for a moment, stood in front of his chest, and said, "Under Cao Bodao." The corners of Guigu Fulong's mouth twitched, and he said: "It's really Cao Taishi's person, Da Sima is really worthy of being a generation of heroes, and he can bend and stretch..." ”

Guigu Fulong said silently: "It turned out that Cao Liuye, who had a plan in one step, arrived, but I don't know, is Cao Jiuye, who has no last resort, here?" ”

Cao Zhongde's face was expressionless, as if he was deaf, and ignored him.

The two knives crossed and pressed Wan Yan Gaizhi's neck, Brother Heishui Cave withdrew from the tent, and came back in a blink of an eye, holding a long halberd in his hand - it was the "Halberd Exterminating Phoenix Gate" - respectfully presented, Wan Yan Qianjun glanced at it, waved his hand slightly, taught it to the side, took his hands, slowly paced a few steps from the front of Hu's bed, and glanced at the corpse of Heishuipu Xian Wannu - his face was still full of horror and disbelief - Fang glanced at Wan Yan Gaizhi, and said leisurely: "Second brother, why are you doing this?" ”

In the eyes of the changed face, there was a sudden burst of light!

With a muffled snort, he slammed his head downward, smashed the cases in front of him, followed by a low howl, and even ignored the two snow-bright steel knives on the back of his neck, and slammed it backwards!

The two guards are both generals with the surname of Brother Cave, both of whom are in the position of a hundred, and their subordinates have cut countless lives, although they are not shocked, they have added two points of strength to their hands, and they push their elbows with heavy arms, and press the back of Wan Yan Gai's head - but they shook violently, and they actually seemed to be cut on something tough and thick, although they also saw blood splashing, but they failed to cut off Wan Yan Gai's head as expected.

I was stunned for a moment, and I saw the fire!

In the midst of the flames, the two guards were shocked and took a few steps back, but the Fengmen inserted behind Wanyan Qianjun miraculously disappeared and appeared in Wanyan Gaizhi's hands.

The new wound on the back of his neck was bleeding, and the scar on his forehead was also opened by this struggle, and he was covered with blood, and his face was changed as if he had put on a helmet made of blood, and his hands were holding the phoenix gate horizontallyβ€”there were already flames burning on it, and even his hands were soaked in the fireβ€”his eyes were full of madness, like an invincible god of war.

"Phew!"

With another roar, he stepped forward, slammed the phoenix gate with both arms, and walked towards Wanyan Qianjun's heart!

At this time, outside the main altar of Taiping Dao, the giant gate was standing in front of everyone with a spring breeze, and greeted the colleagues from afar.

"Jade Al Zhenren, I've worked hard all the way."

The distance between the two is too close, the halberd is blowing, and it has approached the chest of Wanyan Qianjun, although Cao Bodao's body method is fast, it is no longer enough, in an instant, although the master of sanitation around him, the outside of the tent is like a cloud, Wanyan Qianjun can only face this painting halberd that has put everything on the table.

But he was laughing, vicious and cruel.

Smiling, he raised a hand and raised it towards the halberd.

"Fengmen, it's time to come back."

The sharp halberd was like piercing paper, easily tearing Wan Yan Qianjun's palm, but Wan Yan Qianjun's face did not show any pain, on the contrary, Wan Yan Gaizhi's face, which was hurting people, was full of fear.

"You?!"

At this time, everyone in the tent could also see clearly: after penetrating the back of Yan Qianjun's hand, Fengmen froze there, Rao is face was angry, his arms were strengthened, and he couldn't push forward for half a minute.

Looking at him, Wanyan Qianjun smiled even more cruelly.

"Faster than I estimated, you tamed the Fengmen, faster than I estimated, you brought the winged fire snake down... But, second, you probably don't know that the Yuan Spirit you invited down is different from the records in the literature, right? ”

As he spoke, Fengmen began to tremble, gradually melting and shrinking, and became more and more like a living thing.

"The eyebrows of the winged fire snake are a little more red, which does not match the legend that has been handed down..."

In a voice that seemed to be a sudden realization, Guigu Fulong muttered, hearing this answer, Wanyan Qianjun's smile became more and more hideous.

"Hey, you noticed that too."

"Yes, I noticed it at the beginning."

Low, Guigu Fulong said: "But that's just a record that no one can confirm anyway, and there are no problems in the envoy to Fengmen, so..."

"So," Wan Yan Qianjun intercepted, "You didn't care, you didn't think of another possibility." ”

Shaking his shoulders violently, Guigu Fulong gasped: "I didn't expect that you might have already invited the Winged Fire Snake to surrender first, but I didn't expect that that bit of Yin Red was actually a blood spell you used to restrain the Divine Soldier Yuan Spirit..."

Laughing, Wanyan Qianjun's right hand shook and flipped over, only to hear a crisp sound like popping beans, Fengmen had fallen into his hands, and the injury on the back of his hand healed in a blink of an eye, leaving nothing. After Yan Gaizhi fell heavily, his face was gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were already bleeding.

"After all, the military advisor is a god, so please calculate it again, obviously I will be able to control the divine soldier, but I still have to seal it first and then give it away, what is it for?"

Hearing this question, a sparkle of sarcasm suddenly appeared in Guigu Fulong's eyes.

"I believe that the second master should have the deepest understanding of this."

"The principle of the Black Water Ascending Dragon Jue is really in conflict with the Winged Fire Snake, such as the same furnace of ice and charcoal, this elimination recipe has its own strengths, although the second master has been practicing hard in the past two years, but every time he gets a little benefit from the Fengmen, his own original cultivation will be a little damaged, and the increase and loss will be offset, and it is still useless, hey..."

At this time, Wan Yan's changed face was already like ashes, his hands were shaking, Brother Heishui Cave glanced at him, and ignored it, only teaching the two guards to still step forward, crossing their knives and suppressing him.

It seemed that he had completely lost interest in Wanyan Gaizhi, Wanyan Qianjun looked at Guigu Fulong and said with a smile: "Since the military advisor understands everything, why is he so stupid?" Guigu Fulong smiled bitterly, but said to Cao Zhongde, who had been silent: "Sixth Master Cao, there are still a few words I want to ask." ”

Cao Zhongde's expression did not move, only his eyes rolled on Guigu Fulong's face like ice wheels, and said, "Please speak." ”

Guigu Fulong smiled to himself, gasped a few times, and said, "I want to know, see through my secret arrangement, is it Your Excellency or Da Sima?" When you see through my arrangement, is it before or after the food is cut off? ”

Cao Zhongde said coldly: "People who are about to die, why should they care about this kind of thing? ”

Guigu Fulong smiled and said, "Da Sima really didn't see it. Ignoring how ugly Yan Qianjun's face was, he only muttered to himself: "Then speaking, long before you went north, you had the heart to guard against me, so you deliberately left the foolish egg of the bone sand tiger to supervise the transportation of grain and grass..."

As he muttered to himself, his eyes gradually brightened.

"If you are prepared, you should not really be in danger, you should not really be in great damage... Hey," he suddenly raised his head, stared at Cao Zhongde, and said, "If you don't say that, even Xiang Ren's side may not really have any damage, right?" ”

Cao Zhongde bowed slightly, but said: "I don't know what kind of agreement there is between Your Excellency and the Hetao Jin Clan, but I can assure Your Excellency that unless the Jin Clan has a way to eliminate the anger of the Great Desert Sand Clan and the Yinshan Yue Clan alone, otherwise..."

Guigu Fulong laughed a few times, and said: "Even if there is doubt, everything is naturally easy to solve, Da Sima was originally the co-master of Heishui, and it is very simple to re-subdue the two, but..." ”

When Cao Zhongde didn't hear all the troops, Brother Heishui Cave's face changed, and he came over and kicked Fulong in Guigu with a heavy kick, and said angrily: "Fart!" ”

He also said: "Lao Tzu has always been a person of Da Sima, but he has taken the words of Da Sima, and he is guilty of being with you, you can't see it..." Seeing Cao Zhongde nodding, he said: "The core of Cao Liuye's plan is naturally to reach a consensus with Xiang Ren in order to preserve his strength and return to the army to appease... However, didn't the sixth master feel strange at that time, why did the high-level Xiang people believe your words so simply and agree to return to the army and return to the north? ”

Cao Zhongde's pupils constricted, and he said, "You...?" Suddenly, he said, "Eighth brother...!" ”

But it's too late.

It seemed that he was completely powerless to resist, and his arms that were firmly held suddenly shook and turned like a spiritual snake, and he was actually three inches long, and Guigu Fulong's hands had come out of the clamp, and they slapped one by one, and they were falling on the necks of the two unguarded guardsβ€”when they were lifted again, there was no expression on their faces.

Before the second guard fell to the ground, Brother Heishui Cave had already roared and smashed down, but the speed of Guigu Fulong was far superior to him, and he only turned around and flashed behind him early, holding his hands on it, Brother Heishui Cave felt a pain in his armpit and had fainted to the ground. Guigu Fulong took advantage of his strength to step on him, and he actually took Cao Zhongde directly!

Almost at the same time as the attack of Guigu Fulong, the fierce light in Wan Yan Gai's eyes reappeared, and his arms suddenly reversed, and the two guards couldn't stand on their feet, so they fell in front of him with the strength of his shoulders, and when he was still struggling to get up, Wan Yan Gai's fists fell, and he smashed his two heads to pieces!

At this time, Guigu Fulong was already hidden behind Cao Zhongde, and a black silk that was difficult to see had already wrapped around Cao Zhongde's neck, and he laughed softly: "By the way, Cao Baye, don't move..." ”

"Actually, long before the two armies came into contact, my people went to the Xiangren army with enough reliable evidence... Is that enough? ”

Cao Zhongde's self-control work was really good, his face was still not a little flustered, and he actually frowned: "That means that you also planned to betray the Jin clan from the beginning?" ”

Guigu Fulong smiled and said, "In my Guigu Fulong's heart, I will only fully believe in one kind of ally, that is, an ally who can't threaten me. ”

"As long as they are united, the Xiang people will be giant wolves that can devour everything, but when there is no leader in the wolf pack, they will only kill each other... How can an ally with a promise of friendship be better than three allies who kill each other? ”

Nodding silently, Cao Zhongde said, "Yes." ”

"The more they fight, the weaker they become, and the weaker they are, the more they need to show favor to you... Very good. ”

But said: "Your Excellency's martial arts are beyond Zhongde's imagination, this is Zhongde's miscalculation, but, with this kind of counterattack, Your Excellency thinks you can turn the tables?" ”

At this time, Wanyan Gaizhi did not take any further action, but just looked coldly at Wanyan Qianjun, who had not yet reacted, still holding only a halberd, and stationed his tail in the soil, blocking in front of him.

At this time, at the Taiping Dao General Altar, Yuqing and his party had been welcomed inside, but almost all the welcoming Taoists could not hide the complicated looks on their faces.

Why? Why is it that "Jiutian", who has been closely following Yuqing and is said to be the number one master in the "Eight Frauds of the Divine Plate", has the exact same appearance as the "Tianmen Greedy Wolf" who was martyred with Shangqing Zhenren last year?

"Because I don't want to publicize my ugliness, I arranged today's game, because I still have a glimmer of hope for you, so I arranged this game... Do you understand this? ”

Ignoring Cao Zhongde's restraint and ignoring the flames gushing in Wanyan Gai's eyes, Wanyan Qianjun lowered his head slightly, with a little compassion, and said so.

"Whew."

With a long breath, he smiled and said: "Of course I understand, and I also know that you will say that the reason why you didn't call the soldiers outside the tent to assassinate me, a traitor, is also to save me some dignity, and I hope that I can stop being confused by outsiders, and don't do things that I will regret in the future... Hey, big brother, look, can I also talk like Xia Ren? ”

Fang sneered: "Big brother, you might as well look at yourself, how much do you look like our Blackwater people?!" Do you really think that you are one of those Xia nobles who only know how to play the piano and read poetry since childhood?! ”

In the angry voice, the faces of Guigu Fulong and Er Cao changed color together, and among them, Guigu Fulong's face was the most strange.

glanced at Guigu Fulong, smiled strangely, and said: "Big brother, for many years, you have been considered to be a smart person of our Heishui clan for hundreds of years, you learned the Xia people's writing at a very young age, read a lot of Xia people's books, and can write their poems, knowing what they like and what they don't like, so... We can get out of the Black Water and get this anointed place, but is that enough? ”

Wanyan Qianjun's face sank like water, and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Wan Yan Gaizhi grinned at the corner of his mouth, but said: "Even my name was given by you, although I haven't figured out what these two words mean, but I know that even the scholars among the Xia people don't necessarily know how to name names." ”

"In many places, you are more like the Xia people than the Xia people... So, you have to die here today, you know? ”

Wanyan Qianjun laughed dryly, but unconsciously added a little more strength to his hand, and firmly pinched Fengmen.

The blood on his head and neck had gradually stopped, forming a blurred blood clot, and he looked extremely terrifying on Wan Yan Gaizhi's face, but he didn't raise his hand to wipe it, just stared at Wan Yan Qianjun coldly, his eyes became more and more fierce.

"The rules of the Blackwater people, the strong is the king, the patriarch has an order, all obey it, even if I have been taking the camera for a few years, but for those ordinary warriors, only you, the great patriarch who led them to live in the city and got women and land, are the only sweats, so you could have publicly gotten rid of me at any time, you can order the eight tribes of Blackwater to rise up and besiege me, or you can announce that you will put me to death in any public occasion, in that case, I have no way out, but you choose to use a conspiracy, Let me send myself to death. ”

Wanyan Qianjun said angrily: "Nonsense, I don't want our Blackwater people to kill each other...", but he was truncated by Wanyan Gai's life, and said loudly: "Fart!" ”

"If you don't do it, you don't dare, you're afraid that I will propose a chance to fight according to the ancestral rules, you're afraid that you will get hurt or something else will happen... So you don't dare. ”

smiled coldly, his face was full of contempt, and he finished his face: "I won't forget how the third uncle died, you deliberately gave him a chance to rebel, and then led him into the swamp and shot him to death with random arrows, he used to roar desperately at that time, asking you to go down and kill him with your own hands, he didn't want to die so humiliating... But you, how did you answer? ”

Wanyan Qianjun suddenly said: "If you can climb in front of me, I will kill you with my own hands." As he spoke, his face was already cold, and he had no expression at all.

Wan Yan Gaizhi laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I knew you would remember!" He added, "But what impressed me more was another thing you told me that day." ”

The voice suddenly lowered, and it actually took on a cunning taste, Wan Yan Gaizhi stared at Wan Yan Qianjun, and said: "You tell me that there is a saying among the Xia people that if a person wants to have a thousand taels of gold, he will be careful in everything, and he will never sit under the eaves, so as not to be hit by bricks... Right? ”

Wanyan Qianjun snorted and said, "'The son of a daughter, you can't sit down' is actually interpreted by you like this, it's just ridiculous and generous... What exactly are you trying to say? ”

Wanyan Gaizhi's nose twitched, and he suddenly roared: "I want to say, big brother, you are no longer the god of war of the Blackwater clan!" Have you forgotten that you were also a fierce general before the battle?! ”

"The Xia people are feminine and cunning, but the wisdom of the lamb, we are fierce and fierce, this is the courage of the tiger and wolf, big brother, you abandon the tiger and wolf and follow the lamb, then you can rule the black water again, and then you can rule the Fengmen again?"

"That can not die!"

In the roar, Wan Yan Gai's fists were raised at the same time, and he pounced on Wan Yan Qianjun, ignoring the fact that Fengmen's sharp blade had flashed the light of death, sweeping towards his waist and abdomen.

"Fengmen, I am a rough man and a Yi man, but I am at least willing to use my chest to meet the sword and exchange my blood for victory!"

"I at least know that among your former masters, there was the strongest god of war in the history of the Xia people!"

"If you really have a primordial spirit, you should obey me, the god of war in my new era!"

…

At the Taiping Dao General Altar, the ordinary Taoists have retreated, leaving only two Taiqing giant gates, extending Yuqing and the two people who are said to be "Nine Heavens" into the quiet room - in fact, it is a very large house, dozens of steps long and wide, but empty, only three low tables, the three of them sat in their respective positions, Xiao Wenshuang stood silently behind Yuqing, and did not speak.

Fang sat down, the giant gate had already clapped his hands, and when he heard someone outside agree, he smiled and said: "The real person is coming from afar, and a certain person has not come out to greet him, it is really rude..." With a faint smile, he held down the conversation, and suddenly heard a sound outside the door, and someone said respectfully: "Back to the real person, the two of you have arrived." As soon as he said that, the door opened, and the two of them came inβ€”but it turned out to be the two Taiyin Gou Chen, whom Xiao Wenshuang had seen captured by the Blackwater Army with his own eyesβ€”and their expressions were still extremely haggard, but their vitality had recovered after all.

While carefully watching the movements of Yuqing and the two, Jumen laughed and said: "These two Taoist friends got the news not long ago, they were captured by the Black Water people, and then they used some bribes, and they only took them out in the past few days.

After a few jokes, Jumen sighed again: "Actually, speaking of which, we have a bad relationship among the people of Heishui, and there have always been Taoists lurking in the border defense, but the two of them did not notify the general altar in advance when they came north, otherwise, how could this kind of thing happen..." ”

Jumen waved his hand and smiled, teaching people to hook Taiyin and the two of them still "please go down and rest", and did not return to their seats, with their hands behind their backs, they paced a few steps underground, and suddenly said: "Greedy wolf, half a year apart, has always been good?" ”

In Wanyan Qianjun's tent, the blood on the ground had coagulated.

His face was still twitching, his eyes were wide open, and Wan Yan Qianjun's body had cooled, but he still maintained that look of horror and disbelief.

Until he died, he couldn't understand why he died.

"Hmph..."

Squatting down, he forcibly closed his eyes with a rough movement, and said with a cruel smile: "Xia people often say that death is not blind... That's about what it means, right? ”

Nodding silently, Guigu Fulong looked at Wan Yan Gaizhi with a very strange look, and said, "Until he fell, he was still stronger than you... Even if he doesn't use Fengmen, he can kill you, and even if Fengmen is still in your hands, he can kill you... As long as he didn't have a scheming to get back Fengmen, and didn't want to rely on Fengmen to achieve an undamaged victory, it would only be him. ”

β€œβ€¦ So, of course, he can't be convinced, and he can't turn a blind eye. ”

Laughing silently, Wan Yan Gaizhi bent and stretched out his armsβ€”making a titicap soundβ€”and said, "Isn't it funny that the eldest brother is smart, so he will die in the end because of his cleverness?" ”

"It's not funny, it's not funny at all." With a very serious look, Guigu Fulong shook his head.

"Because he only trusts his own wisdom, he is lost because of his own wisdom, because he no longer dares to rely on his own strength, so he is betrayed by his own strength, because he does not respect Fengmen, so in the end he will fall under Fengmen... It's a very serious topic, and it's not funny at all. ”

When he said this, Fengmen, who was held in his hand by Wan Yan Gaizhi, still seemed to refuse to be quiet, still trembling slightly, exuding the smell of "blood" and the feeling of "thirsty for blood", coupled with his voice, it seemed that the air in the tent also trembled strangely.

Shicai, Wanyan Gaizhi fought with Wanyan Qianjun with his bare hands, no matter how you look at it, it is also an act of death, but after being stabbed in the chest by Fengmen, there has been a wonderful change.

After a fluctuation, Fengmen actually softened again like Fang Cai, dissolving into Wanyan Gaizhi's body, and before Wanyan Qianjun could react, Wanyan Gaizhi had already taken this opportunity to close the previous distance and beat him hard in the face and abdomen.

Of course, these two punches couldn't knock Wanyan Qianjun down, but when he retreated in pain and had to let go of Fengmen, Fengmen changed again: while quickly popping out of Wanyan Gai's body, its blood-stained front end actually increased by two blades, and a blade composed of a total of four moon hooks and a spear tip appeared. Grabbed by Wan Yan Gaizhi, before Wan Yan Qianjun could react more, he had pierced his chest and nailed him firmly to the ground.

… A generation of heroes passed away.

Ignoring Guigu Fulong's seemingly "disappointing" words, Wan Yan changed his face and looked at the Fengmen in his hand with an extremely loving eye, and rubbed one hand on it.

"At the end of the day, you'll still be able to predict everything accurately, and at the end of the day, all the threads will still have to be combined according to what you've drawn... Fu Long, I really want to know, in the end, will you also one day, miscalculate something, so wrong that you will lose everything like your big brother today? ”

The pupils widened suddenly, and a complicated look flashed in Guigu Fulong's eyes, but he said, "Family Master, Fu Long wants to ask, are you serious about what you said to Da Sima just now?" ”

Pulling the corners of his mouth, Wan Yan Gaizhi did not answer, but squinted at Er Cao, and said coldly: "These two people, what should I do?" ”

Guigu Fulong arched his hand and said: "According to the fool's opinion, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, so let's ask the two Cao Ye to go back." ”

After thinking about it, he said, "It's up to you." He strode out of the account.

Cao Zhongde's face was already extremely ugly, and he only nodded slightly to Guigu Fulong, and said, "Mr. is clever, almost able to understand the gods, Zhongde admires." ”

Guigu Fulong smiled and said, "Pass the prize." ”

But suddenly said: "The name of the double walls of Yecheng, I have heard it for a long time, if this is now the ninth master of Fengxiao, I don't know what will happen if it will succeed or fail?" ”

The muscles on Cao Zhongde's face twitched, he hugged his fists and said, "Farewell." As soon as he said that, he turned around with Cao Bodao, and actually turned out from behind the account.

Cao Bodao was speechless, but before leaving, he looked deeply at Guigu Fulong, with a slight anger on his face, but he endured it and went with Cao Zhongde.

Suddenly, after hearing Yan Gaizhi's voice, he said, "Why? But he did not know when he returned to the tent.

Guigu Fulong said lightly: "Cao Zhi is the imperial master, he is in a high position, if it is not necessary, why bother to make this enemy." ”

After a pause, he said: "As for deliberately insulting him, it's not a consideration, but I see that this person's face is a conceited person who is rigid and self-serving, intelligent and self-contained, and his heart will be narrow and cannot tolerate others. ”

Said and said with a smile: "Actually, our Heishui family is located in the northwest, and there is no chance of conflict with Cao Jiashi, these micro seeds are sown, the first one will inevitably have a chance to harvest, and the second may not be our turn to harvest, it is really an arrow without a goal, just habit." ”

He said solemnly: "Fu Long still wants to ask again, is what the head of the family said to Da Sima just now, is it serious?" ”

After Yan Gaizhi glanced at Ghost Valley Fulong, he suddenly laughed and said, "In the eyes of Mr., is a certain so useless?" ”

"The Xia Hua is the only way for my Heishui to live in the summer soil, and what Mr. has planned is a hundred-year plan, how can I not know?" As he spoke, he didn't wait for Guigu Fulong to reply, waved his hand again, and said, "Call the cousin of Brother Cave and Nalan to clean up here, I want to go back to Xingqing." ”

…

In the Taiping General Altar, he looked at the giant gate coldly, and Xiao Wenshuang did not answer him.

It's not that she hasn't thought about cross-dressing, but she thinks that she can't hide it from the giant gate, Xiao Wenshuang finally decided to use her usual outfit as a "canopy greedy wolf", hoping to at least interfere with the Taoists who are still blinded by the giant gate, so it is not unexpected to be recognized by the giant gate, but... After Jumen said this, the remaining elites among the nine generals of Tianmen did not immediately appear to kill the two, but it was something beyond Xiao Wenshuang's estimate.

With a long breath, Yuqing slowly got up, pacing sideways as if intentionally or unintentionally, just in front of the two, glanced at Taiqing, and saw that he was still sitting there curled up like ashes, smiled faintly, and said to the giant gate: "Shangqing people, we have come all the way, don't we have a vegetarian meal?" ”

Jumen laughed, and suddenly said: "Ming people don't say secret words, aren't real people afraid that this meal is a severed head meal for two people?!" ”

Yuqing only snorted and said, "If you're afraid, why are you here?" ”

Jumen looked at the two of them back and forth, suddenly burst out laughing, stretched out a hand to Xiao Wenshuang, and said, "Greedy wolf, let's make peace?" ”

Xiao Wenshuang's complexion changed several times, and finally couldn't help but say angrily: "Nonsense! As he spoke, he put his hands together, and immediately saw the royal blue brilliance emerging from between his ten fingers, like a large piece of frost condensed like a sword, slashing towards the waist of the giant gate!

Seeing Xiao Wenshuang burst into trouble, the giant gate was a little fearless, just squinted, sneered, suddenly stretched out his right foot, stomped heavily on the ground, and said, "Break!" The ground in front of him swelled, and suddenly more than a dozen earth and rocks rushed up, smashing Xiao Wenshuang's frost sword.

She had always known that the power of the giant gate was profound, and she also knew that the earth spell she practiced was the nemesis of her own water spell, Xiao Wenshuang was not surprised by such a result, and she had already retreated sharply before the earth sword pierced from the ground, wanting to widen the distance between her and the giant gate to use a stronger spell, but just after taking a step back, her shoulder had been held down by a powerful palm!

"Real person, you..."

When he found out that it was actually the Jade Pure People who restrained him, Xiao Wenshuang could not suppress his surprise, and seeing all this in his eyes, the giant gate let out a sarcastic laugh again.

"I didn't even know the true intentions of the Jade Innocents, so I came here like this... Greedy wolf, you really can't be reassured. ”

With a serious expression, one hand on Xiao Wenshuang's shoulder, and the other hand hanging down on his waist, Yuqing stared at the giant gate and said slowly: "Then what do you think, what is my intention?" ”

Jumen glanced at Xiao Wenshuang coldly and said, "Taiping." ”

"I can't defend myself for what I've done... Moreover, I don't want to defend either. ”

"If I want to dig deeper, I don't have a righteousness, it is said to be something that can be blessed and ruled legally... Hey, but I have something else. ”

Staring at Xiao Wenshuang, Jumen showed a strange smile and said, "I have the strength, and..."

"And, the ability to make Taiping Dao fall in a vigorous civil war."

With a calm face, cutting off and supplementing Jumen's speech, Yu Qing said coldly: "Is that right?" ”

Actually nodded, Jumen said: "Exactly." ”

"You can not accept me, you can use the southern Taoists to oppose me as the basis, and you can also preach my evil deeds among the Taoists in Jinzhou, but that may not make all the Taoists accept it immediately."

"Besides, I'm going to fight back at the same time."

"I will send messengers and tell the Daoists everywhere that they are all lies, that it is just a lie made up by you to seize power, and let the Daoists everywhere make their own choices."

"That will be a fierce civil war that has never been seen in the history of Taiping Dao, and I dare to assert it now, the one who can have the last laugh in this civil war will definitely not be either you and me."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Yuqing said indifferently: "Of course." Sandpipers and mussels compete with each other, and since ancient times, only fishermen have benefited. ”

Clapped and laughed: "Exactly." Jumen said: "And this is not counting the consequences of the collapse of faith. ”

"When I found that people who were trusted as gods actually had feet of mud, and when I found that the organization that I thought was made of 'ideals' was full of ugliness... Ha, what will happen to the lowest level of the Taoists? What will happen to those Taoists who are willing to sacrifice their blood for the sake of 'peace'? ”

"So what?"

There was not even a trace of emotion in his eyes, it seemed to be two bottomless Gu Tan, Yu asked lightly.

"Therefore, there can be no war among us."

Taiqing, who had always seemed to be asleep, suddenly spoke, but his tone was unprecedented, and he slowly got up and walked between the two.

It always seems that the eyes that are so sleepy that they can't open their eyes will actually emit as bright as starlight, Taiqing looked back and forth at Jumen and Yuqing, and every word he said was actually irresistibly heavy.

"We must keep our peace, and there must be no quarrel among us, because that will be the end of 'peace.'"

"The emperor's surname will never destroy the peace, only we can do it ourselves, and if the two of you really want to go down in history with such a reputation, then we might as well commit suicide together now."

"Because, the result is the same anyway."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Wenshuang hissed: "But, what about real people's affairs, how can it be counted?" ”

Glancing at Xiao Wenshuang, Taiqing said: "The dead are gone, and the living are eternal." Jumen took it and sneered: "Nanjin Zhenren... He was already an obstacle on the road to peace! Xiao Wenshuang said angrily: "Nonsense! There was tension between the two, and they were about to do it again, but they liked that Yuqing and Taiqing had a tacit understanding, and they had already separated the two.

With a sigh, Taiqing said to Xiao Wenshuang: "Greedy wolf, I know that you also hate me for cooperating with Jumen, but you might as well think about it, why, things have come to this point?" ”

Stunned for a moment, I wanted to scold, but was affected by something in Taiqing's voice, Xiao Wenshuang managed to calm her mind, and said in a deep voice: "Why? ”

Taiqing took his hand, paced a few steps, and suddenly said: "Yuqing Zhenren, the most important place in the morality of our Taiping Dao, or in other words, what is the essential difference between us and the emperor's surname?" Please let me know. ”

Yuqing was slightly stunned, and said: "The emperor's surname is the remnants of the people, he treats all living beings like dogs, treats all living beings equally, and swears to wait for the rich and the poor..." ”

Fang Dao: "All people are born with foolishness and wisdom, a mother and a compatriot, and there are also strong and weak, a teacher and the same family, always useful and stubborn, everyone is not equal from the beginning, how can it be equal in the end?" If the wise are forced to be the same as the stupid, and the hardworking are equal to the greedy, what kind of 'peace' is it? ”

"Just like you and me, strictly speaking, what's the difference between them and the rest of the Daoists, but why can you and I live here, and everyone can serve them, while others can only bow down and wait for you and me to send them?"

Yuqing was silent for a while, bowed down and said, "I would like to hear the real person's high opinion." β€œ

Tai Qing smiled coldly and said, "The so-called 'Taiping' is actually just a different distribution of power from the 'emperor's surname'. ”

"Under the emperor's surname, the emperor's words are the golden rule, the emperor's joy and anger are the door to advance and retreat, although the Confucian schools have many institutional constraints, but when the emperor's will or desire is strong enough, nothing can restrain him."

"In the game of the emperor's surname, there is always only one voice that can be heard, and whoever succeeds in extinguishing this voice will only make his voice the only one at once."

"Whether it's weak, strong, rich, or cheap, under the emperor's surname, it's actually the same, if you don't echo the emperor's voice, you can't make any sound."

"That's the difference between us."

"Why has the emperor ruled the world for thousands of years, but he has never been able to eradicate our peace? Because what we represent is actually a desire at the bottom of the human heart. ”

"In fact, many times, if the local princes were completely loyal to the orders of the emperor, we should be hurt ten times or even a hundred times as badly, but they will not carry out such orders, because they also have their own voice in their hearts, although they dare not let that voice replace the voice of the emperor, but where the emperor cannot see it, they will definitely do it according to their own voice."

"In Taiqing's heart, the so-called peace is that everyone can also make their own voice, even if I am only the poorest and cheapest person in the world, and the strongest and most expensive person in the world has a different voice, he can't erase my voice."

"And, Nanjian, he has actually deviated from this, so, in my Taiqing's heart, he has become an obstacle to the peace rather than a help."

Xiao Wenshuang squinted and said, "Nonsense! If there were no real people, how could Taiping Dao recover so quickly from the changes in the heavens and seas! ”

Tai Qing sneered: "Yes, Nanjin has indeed contributed a lot to Taiping Dao, but at the same time, he is also fundamentally harming the vitality of Taiping Dao." ”

"Greedy wolf, you are the most trusted and close person to Nanjin, you might as well think about it, how many times has he listened to your opinion, and how many times has he told you the reason for his decision before making a decision?"

"Just like the matter of the undead, in fact, it is not just the dissatisfaction of the giant gate? Yuqing and I have never been in favor of pouring all our hopes into this illusory matter, but did our opposition play any role? ”

"Taiping Dao will last forever, because we are always reactionary as the emperor's surname, and because the balanced existence of Sanqing makes Taiping Dao not lose its future due to an isolated battle, but, at that time..."Glancing at Yuqing coldly, Taiqing said: "Why don't Yuqing people come to make a conclusion?" ”

Yuqing's complexion changed several times, and finally said calmly: "Greedy wolf, on this section, what the Taiqing people said is right. ”

"With the highest status and power, and being able to suppress all opposition with one opinion, before his death, the Shangqing people were actually already the 'emperors' in our Taiping Dao..."

But he said: "But this is not a reason for rebellion! Although the Shangqing people are authoritarian, they have never been selfish! ”

Taiqing said calmly: "This is even worse! ”

"Because of its selflessness, people are not afraid of it, but in the long run, the system will be drowned, and when the evil people take control of this position in the future, who can copy it?"

"When there was an imperial system at the beginning, several generations were also British masters, and the reason why the remaining two ancestors founded Taiping was not to see the harm of the faint lord in the future?"

"My Taiping Dao was originally caused by the harm of the imperial system, how can I follow the same path?!"

Xiao Wenshuang's face was already pale, and her body shook slightlyβ€”she couldn't speak.

Yuqing glanced at him, his expression was very worried, and when he wanted to reach out to help, Xiao Wenshuang waved his hand violently, and he was already standing straight, the corners of his mouth were bloody, and he didn't know when he bit it.

Staring straight at Taiqing, Xiao Wenshuang said slowly: "You just said that if I insist on crusading against the giant gate, it will be the beginning of the civil war in Taiping Dao?" ”

Looking at Xiao Wenshuang, Taiqing suddenly felt a palpitation, nodded, and did not respond.

Trembling for a moment, Xiao Wenshuang said to Yuqing in a deep voice: "Real person, I am willing to accept the matter of peace." But before the giant gate Taiqing responded, he hissed: "But I have two conditions!" ”

Looking at Taiqing, Xiao Wenshuang said: "What the real person said just now is indeed reasonable, and the greedy wolf can't refute it, but the real person had better remember that your 'truth' has killed the Shangqing people." If one day, the greedy wolf discovers that you can't fully adhere to your own 'truth' by the real person, or that these words of the real person are just an 'excuse' for you to ask for power, then the greedy wolf will remind the real person that you have said 'these words', no matter how much it costs. ”

There seemed to be a slight chill in his voice, Xiao Wenshuang actually made Taiqing speechless, but he didn't wait for the other party's response, Xiao Wenshuang had already turned his gaze to the giant gate.

"The Civil War... That's really something that can bring peace to an end, and I believe that real people don't want it, so I'm willing to accept peace. ”

"However, please keep in mind that there are still some ways to solve the problem without triggering a civil war, and I have never promised not to use these methods."

Silently staring at Xiao Wenshuang for a while, the giant gate suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Good, good!" ”

"Ming people don't say dark words, greedy wolf, you do have the wind of a general!"

Laughing, his hand was stretched out towards Xiao Wenshuang.

"Then, greedy wolf, my former good brother and good colleague, for the dream of peace, let us show the arrival of peace now!"

Dusk, Xingqing, Wanyan Mansion.

The ants had begun to disperse, and the twilight had fallen on the huge courtyard, dyeing everything a faint yellow, a color that was not suitable for this spring day, but more like the color of autumn.

The man standing in the garden is an image that is completely incompatible with this environment, and in fact no one can think of those negative or mild adjectives at any time when anyone can observe the change.

"All the people are gone."

Smiling, Guigu Fulong appeared behind him, and whispered to him what had happened outside while he was standing still.

"The eight tribes of the Black Water have all expressed their obedience, and the elders of the various tribes will come here tomorrow afternoon to mourn the Great Sima in public, and at the same time officially recognize their new masters."

"Of the ten people who have secretly accepted Da Sima's orders, seven have come here to show their loyalty, and five of them have taken the initiative to confess their past, and at the same time, their confessions have also exposed two people who we didn't know before."

"The three main generals of the Tiefutu Army are already on the same side as the head of the family, and this time they have once again declared their loyalty, but at least one of them should be the internal response that Da Sima had secretly contacted before."

Speaking eloquently, while Guigu Fulong called Wanyan the "head of the family", he still added the rather respectful title of "Da Sima" to the name of Wanyan Qianjun, and finally, he made this summary:

"Whether it is to grasp the Yan family, or to receive the various benefits given to the Heishui family in Jinzhou by the imperial court, it is already a smooth sailing, but it is basically impossible to get the original official position of Da Sima, and the loss of the highest position in the military department will also have a partial impact on the development of the Wanyan family in the future, but it should not matter, but the movements of Taiping Dao and Xiang people must be paid attention to, if one of them can quickly extricate himself from the civil strife, it will become a very real threat."

"Hmm."

Nodding, Wan Yan Gaizhi, who had been listening intently with his hands behind his back, finally turned around.

"Very good, Fu Long, your ability to handle and summarize things will always be so capable."

While saying words of praise, he walked towards Guigu Fulong and patted him on the shoulder.

"If it weren't for you, I would never have been where I am now, I know that."

"So, I really should thank you for choosing me over Big Brother."

A hint of emotion flashed on his face, and Guigu Fulong bowed down and said: "People treat me as a countryman, and I repay me as a countryman... The head of the house is overrated. ”

The corners of his mouth squirmed and smiled, and he suddenly said, "By the way, I didn't have time to ask clearly." ”

"Those two godsons of the Cao family... Are you really going to let them go back like this? ”

Hearing this question, Guigu Fulong couldn't help but smile proudly.

"Death or life, that has nothing to do with us."

"I have let them go, but the Cao family is powerful and powerful, and there are many enemies, but they have nothing to do with us."

Wan Yan Gaizhi laughed and said, "What's the matter, you still got in touch with the descendants of the Dong family?" ”

Guigu Fulong shook his head lightly and said: "Dong Liangru is just crippled and arrogant, and he has no grace with the soldiers, and almost all those who really have the heart to repay are dead on the river of corruption... The Dong family is finished, and I believe that one or two generations will not be able to turn over, and there is nothing that can deal with the master of 'Jiuquer Cao', but, there are..."

With a little mysterious smile, he said softly, "... Annihilation in all directions. ”

After being stunned for a moment, Wan Yan Gaizhi suddenly laughed loudly, patted Guigu Fulong's shoulder heavily, and said, "It's actually him?" Lack of virtue, you are really lacking in virtue..."

In the laughter, there was a splash of blood!

"Master of the house, you..."

With a surprised voice, it seemed to be choked by blood, which seemed to be indistinct, and his hands were clutched back, but he could only freeze on his chest, Guigu Fulong's face was full of horror and anger, and it was full of "I can't believe it" vibration.

The three-foot sword had pierced his chest.

Holding the sword in one hand, the other palm that had just been affectionately slapped on the shoulder of Guigu Fulong turned into a palm, and fiercely clamped his left neck, and the kind smile on Wan Yan Gaizhi's face was completely gone, leaving only a fierce face and a cruel smile.

"Ghost Valley... Is this sword the first miscalculation you have made since you came to my Wanyan family? ”

When the blood was spilling in the garden of Wanyan's house, there was a noisy noise on the grassland, blood was splashing, the dying were screaming, the victorious were laughing, and the survivors... Running on a desperate horse.

The pursuer's horse is also running.

"Cao Zhongde, do you really have the face to run?!"

Laughing loudly, Shou Shifang did not force out the foot strength of the mount, but only held the reins, and the other hand quickly rotated the wheel blade that had been dyed red, his eyes were like poisonous snakes staring at the two horses who were rushing in the dark night ahead, and his mouth was full of cruel and evil smiles.

Behind him were five knights covered in gray robes, their eyes expressionless as a group of living dead.

Fang Cai, it was these living dead, with the sun and moon wheel blades of the ten directions of Shangshou, with a rhythm more efficient than chopping melons and beans, and quickly slaughtered dozens of subordinates who were following Cao Zhongde and Cao Bodao, making Er Cao want to escape with all his might.

(...) οΌ‰

He cursed in his heart with hatred, but on the contrary, he affected the injury even more, causing bright red to gush out of the wide wound on his chest that had just stopped bleeding, Cao Zhongde only felt a pain in his heart, his body shook a few times, and his brain was also dizzy, and he suddenly thought: "Am I going to die here?" ”

With the combined strength of him and Cao Bodao, he could not be easily bullied, but since leaving the Heishui military tent, Cao Zhongde has always been in a trance, and as a result, he was attacked by a surprise attack in the middle of the road, and was severely injured by Shou Shifang as soon as he fought, on the one hand, he deprived Cao Zhongde of his combat power, and on the other hand, it also restricted Cao Bodao's actions, in this case, they could not take care of the subordinates around them, and could only watch them fall one by one. Although the Shou Shifang side was not without casualties, the loss of a total of four people in exchange for Cao Zhongde's serious injuries and more than 20 lives, no matter how you look at it, it is also cheap.

(It's hateful, I didn't even think that there was a yellow finch behind...) οΌ‰

Of course, Cao Zhongde will not be completely ignorant of the people who are chasing behind: he regarded the "Peishang Liu Family" as an important opponent early on, and the relevant information has already let Cao Zhongde know that the Liu family has such a group of killers who almost never appear under the light.

(The ten directions are all destroyed, the number is unknown, it is believed that the Shou Shifang in the "Song of the Great Wind" was personally trained, and was only ordered by Liu Zongliang alone...) οΌ‰

(However, why is it not clear in the information that these people are so strong?!) οΌ‰

There are no mediocre hands who can follow the second Cao Xilai, all of them are capable and strong, but just now, although there is a factor of being sneak attacked, Cao Zhongde knows that even if he is fair to the enemy, the odds of victory will not be higher than forty percent.

(The strength of these people is not stronger than that of the tiger and leopard horseman, but what they use is a complete "assassination technique", each blow is created to kill people with the highest efficiency, in the future, it is necessary to select some dead soldiers in the tiger and leopard horseman, and also train in this way...) οΌ‰

The gallop and pain could not stop Cao Zhongde's "thinking", in addition to analyzing and judging the pursuers behind him as soon as possible, he also looked at the righteous brother beside him with curiosity.

"Jiuquer Cao" has different backgrounds, and before joining the Cao family, they all have their own past, among them, there are types like Cao Zhongkang that everyone is also clear about... There are also types like Cao Bodao who never mention it themselves, and others can't inquire about it.

In the year after entering Cao Zhimen, Cao Bodao was ranked eighth among the "Jiuquer Cao", everyone knew that he was born in the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism, and also knew that he had a close relationship with someone who had set off a bloody storm more than ten years ago, and also knew that the process of his departure from the Pure Land Sect seemed to be a little complicated... But there is only that.

As one of the two main strategists of the Cao family, Cao Zhongde certainly knew more than ordinary people, and even more than most of the "Jiuquer Cao", for example, he knew that Cao Bodao could be said to be "breaking the door" when he left the Pure Land Sect back then, and he also knew that even after he joined the Cao family, some high-level members of the Pure Land Sect had also brewed some actions against him, and it was only because some of the "opinions" that were said to come from the Lianyin Temple that all this was finally stopped.

… He also knew that Cao Bodao had a very close relationship with an important person in the "Peishang Liu Family", but he didn't really understand how close this relationship was until today.

That relationship can make him bet on an arm without hesitation!

In the eyes of outsiders, Shou Shifang's raid was undoubtedly a great success, but in himself, he did not think so.

While urging the horse under his crotch, Shou Shifang smacked his lips dissatisfiedly, but smiled bitterly from time to time, because he didn't believe that another way would make him a little happier.

Before Cao Zhongde had time to organize defense, he had bullied Cao Zhongde, showed his sun and moon blades, and cut Cao Zhongde's chest into serious injuries with the left moon blade... But, what he originally thought, it was not!

The left hand was just a prelude, and Shou Shifang was originally going to use the sun blade of his right hand to give him the final blow and cut off his head when Cao Zhongde lost his balance due to injury, but he failed to do so.

Shou Shifang's attack on Cao Zhongde was too fast, and Cao Bodao couldn't stop anything, but when the second knife was swung, Cao Bodao didn't hesitate to wave his arm out and block it in front of the knife!

If that knife continues, Cao Zhongde will undoubtedly be listed, but before that, Cao Bodao's left arm will definitely leave his body first!

A moment of hesitation, but gave Cao Zhongde time, while stopping the bleeding and relieving injuries for himself, he quickly burned out six runes with his left hand, and knotted the shape of Nandou in the air, Shou Shifang was careless, and was escaped by Er Cao, not to mention, and also lost several subordinates.

(Baidao, it's all your fault...) οΌ‰

Muttering in his heart, Shou Shifang added the blood on the moon blade, staring at the backs of the two, but there was a complex brilliance in his eyes.

Spare it once... It is true, but, just now, when he and his body pounced on Cao Zhongde to assassinate Cao Zhongde, why didn't he sell half of his body in front of others?

(But, no matter what, if you have to stand in front of Mrs. Liu, this time, it will really be the last time...) οΌ‰

In the garden of Wanyan's house, time seemed to have stopped, but there was a terrible sound of the wind intermittently, and occasionally a few birds were hoarse, and everything began to gradually become unclear.

This day, a day of too much blood and too many things happening, has begun to gradually fall into the arms of the night

Bleeding hard, Guigu Fulong struggled and said, "The head of the family... Why?! ”

Wan Yan Gaizhi didn't answer immediately, just stared at him, with a very funny and cruel look in his eyes, like a cat looking at a mouse that had fallen to its mouth, but had not completely died.

Moreover, it is still the kind of mouse that goes and returns, and sends it back to his mouth.

"Why..."

Stretched his voice long, he pursed his lips in satisfaction, and seemed to be very, very happy.

"Isn't that how it should be, Ghost Valley... Or, Zhu Ziping?! ”

As soon as he heard these three words, Guigu Fulong's face suddenly changed!

Calm, elegant, and calm in the past... All of a sudden, there was nothing left, replaced by hatred, rage, despair!

"You, you always knew!"

The excited voice has been deformed, Guigu Fulong's eyes are full of crazy light, his hands are shaking violently, and his lips that are always smiling have spasmed.

"Hmph."

With a cold snort, Wan Yan Gaizhi wiped back his sword, and at the same time jumped backwards, avoiding the onslaught of Guigu Fulong.

"You, you even knew it all along!"

Blood can't stop flowing out of the abdomen, but the trance-like Guigu Fulong seems to have no feeling at all, since he was called "Zhu Ziping" name, he seems to have suddenly lost a lot of feelings, but he seems to suddenly have a lot of emotions, such as intoxication, also like madness, he struggled to complete the face to change the pounce, although every blow is just in vain, but perseverance.

His eyes are full of hatred for Wanyan Gaizhi, and that hatred is a fiery that no one understands and can't face.

"You're using me! You're teasing me! ”

In his excitement, he seemed to have lost his mind completely, and he didn't even notice that a third person had quietly appeared in the garden.

"You, how do you know!"

The frenzied pounce certainly had no effect, and at the same time, the new man was quickly approaching him and clapped his hand on the shoulder.

"Of course I told him."

Simple speech, calm voice, but like an angry thunder bombardment, made Guigu Fulong's body stiffen like a stone statue all of a sudden.

… Also, the thing "sanity" finally appeared on his face again.

"Sure enough, it's you, I knew it could only be you, senior brother..."

Muttering, Guigu Fulong's body leaned softly against the man, and slowly fell.

Helping him up with one hand and putting it on his shoulder, the newcomer tried the snort of Guigu Fulong with his hand, arched his hand to Wanyan Gaizhi, and said with a smile: "Wanyan family master, I am bidding farewell below." ”

Wan Yan Gai's attitude was extremely respectful, and he bowed down and said, "Sir, please." ”

He also said, "Please ask the Great Sage how he is well." ”

At the turn of Youxu, in the north of this early spring, the sky was already dark.

"We've walked more than seventy miles, haven't we?"

Enduring the pain, Cao Zhongde struggled and asked, although he was seriously injured, his mind did not stop thinking.

"Hmm."

Nodding, Cao Bodao was expressionless, while suddenly turning his right wrist and sending it back, there was a white Buddha light sounding from his palm, with a faint "10,000" word gushing out, and he heard a sound of "touching" behind, with a muffled hum, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground - the sound of chasing horses' hooves was scattered at all, and it was still neat and orderly.

"If you can't do this, if you run any longer, you will eventually catch up..."

After only saying a few words, Cao Zhongde's face turned pale with pain, stopped, took a few breaths, and continued: "Turn right at the intersection in front, I remember walking another thirty miles, there is a Faguang Temple, which is a famous temple in Jinzhou, and today is the birthday of the Buddha Gate Garan Bodhisattva.

Cao Bodao hesitated, his face was very reluctant, but he still nodded lightly, and when he arrived at the intersection in front, he beat the horse's head and went to the right side of the road.

Shouldering the corpse of Guigu Fulong, Tianji Ziwei walked away, although the four cities had fallen at this moment, but somehow, he had already Shi Shiran out of Xingqing City, until there was no trace of him, and he put down the corpse of Guigu Fulong - it was already cold and hard.

This kind of Guigu Fulong still maintains a last-minute expression, his eyes are wide open, he gritted his teeth, and the resentment on his face is overflowing, even if he is dead, he can also make people feel his anger and unwillingness.

After looking at him quietly for a while, Tianji Ziwei smiled faintly and muttered: "I can't put it down, why bother to pick it up, idiot, it's just an idiot..." Tianji Ziwei gently forced, crushed the two chess pieces, rubbed them with both hands, pinched the black * end in the palm of his hand, and sprinkled a circle around the body of Fulong in Guigu, Fang will rub the two fingers of his left hand, and with a sound of "Bu", the circle of powder has burned by itself, the flame is actually extremely high, three or four feet, it is a faint blue, although there is no fire, but it keeps shaking, as if something is rushing through from above, and it seems to be blocking and filtering something from the void.

After burning for a while, the flame gradually burned transparent, hazy, and the eyesight was almost invisible, Tianji Ziwei kept watching the flame, so far it seemed to be finally satisfied, and took out a vial from his sleeve, ripped off the cork at the mouth of the bottle, and poured out two pills in the palm of his hand, both of which were vermilion and the size of his little finger. Tianji Ziwei put the bottle back into her sleeve, closed her hands, warmed the pill, crossed the fire ring, squatted down beside Guigu Fulong, pinched her mouth, stuffed the pill in, stood up, and took out a piece of silk from her sleeve, spread it flat, swept it on the fire ring around her body, burned, and took the fire with it, and pressed it on the chest of Guigu Fulong: just listening to the sound of Zizi, there was a smell of burning flesh and skin, but it was also strange that the clothes were still good, and there was nothing strange at all.

The silk was not very big, and it burned very fast, and it had burned to ashes in a blink of an eye, but although the silk was burned out, it seemed to have led something: I saw that the chest and abdomen of the Guigu Fulong were slowly rising and falling from the beginning, and there was a faint transmission of red light in the middle, as if there was a fire source in the middle.

Tianji Ziwei was expressionless, just holding her hands, standing silently, staring at everything in front of her, a glimmer of strange light flashed in her right eye from time to time, but it was only once, and it was gone.

After a while, Tianji Ziwei raised her head to look at the sky, saw the moon wheel gradually rising, and suddenly shouted: "The idiot hasn't woken up yet, when will he stay?!" ”

With this sound of drinking, Guigu Fulong's body shook violently, and suddenly he stood up straight in the circle of fire, and his eyes were already open.

As the night deepened, the shapes on both sides of the road became more and more indistinguishable, and they were swallowed up by the thicker and thicker black, and the moon and stars in the sky seemed to be playing, hiding themselves behind the clouds, and at a glance, almost every direction was boundless, almost desperate darkness, and only one direction, as if there was some building or activity, flickering with a faint light.

Looking at the light, Shou Shifang's expression was very peculiar, he seemed to be a little hesitant, and he seemed to be a little angry, and there were many things that could not be described.

He had been standing like this for a long time since just now, and after Er Cao had beaten his horse's head and fled to this road, he stopped his subordinates with a very strange expression, and stood alone on the side of the road, staring at the brilliance over there.

Behind them, none of the living dead-like subordinates spoke, and they all stood silently, waiting for their leader.

In the silence, the wind blew quietly, with a small cracking sound, as if cutting something.

… Those, hard, old, things that have sunk in loneliness for a long time.

"May 18, the birthday of Garan Bodhisattva..."

With a long exhalation, Shou Shifang put his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed like two slits, staring at the lights in the distance, but he did not move for a moment.

"Before noon, after dusk, except for a very small number of pilgrims, the rest of the believers should have left."

A footnote to his judgment is the pedestrians on the road, and from the beginning of the day there have been hasty pilgrims coming from that direction and scattering in all directions.

"Well, then."

Nodding, Shou Shixiang waved his hand behind him, and said lightly: "Wait here until I come back." Without further explanation, he dismounted, straightened his belt, and walked slowly in the direction of the light.

The light looked very close, but it was long, ten miles away, but Shou Shifang seemed to be very patient, holding his hands, walking slowly, not even a little anxious.

After a while, I gradually got closer and saw the outline of the temple, and the specifications were quite different from the temples in the Jinqing area.

There are eight original sects of Buddhism in Daxia, which are for the Pure Land, Huayan, Tiantai, Faxiang, Santreatis, Law, Zen, Tantra and other eight schools, but since the year "Zhu Hong" afterwards, Tiantai and the three treatises were slaughtered, the Vinaya sect was broken, and the Dharma phase was on the verge of being bad, so the Buddhism was reorganized, the Mahayana people returned to Huayan, and the Hinayana sect attached to the Pure Land, so there are today's "four sects of Buddhism", namely: Huayan, Pure Land, Heart Zen, and Tantric four sects, among them, the believers of the Pure Land Sect are the most famous, scattered in the world, the Huayan Sect has the most famous temples, and the stars are all over the world, although the Zen people are not, but the talented monks and wise guests are endless, and there are more "Buddhas." "Headed by Shi Futu, he has a very good reputation in the officialdom and Confucianism, and the three forces almost divide the believers in the Central Plains, only the two states of Jin and Qingdao in the western Xinjiang, where the people have accumulated prostitution for many years, and do not follow the Buddhist rules of the Middle Kingdom, only worship the Lama Tantra, and the three sects have no way to intervene.

Inside Tantra, it is divided into red, yellow and black three religions, among which the Yellow Sect is the head, the central part of Jinzhou is the boundary of the Yellow Sect, the temple is high and steep, the wall is thick and the window is narrow, the eaves are low and flat, and there are many platform spires, and the painting color is mainly vermilion mixed with earth yellow, which is very different from the Middle Earth Temple.

This is not the case with this temple in front of you.

The eaves are hooked, the Buddha bell is golden, the household is vermilion lacquer, the door cloth nail ring, the night breeze blows, the sonorous sound of the Buddha bell is crisp and pleasant, it can be heard clearly in a few miles away, and the wind is mixed with the smell of pine and vanilla... All of this is a custom in the Central Plains Buddhist Temple, but it is rare here.

To outsiders, he may only think that the style here is a little strange, but in the eyes of Shou Shifang, he can clearly distinguish the differences formed by the different beliefs of each sect.

(Hinayana...) No, it's all in the style of the Pure Land sect... Hey... οΌ‰

With something that others couldn't understand, Shou Shifang walked slowly, and gradually walked to the front of a line of stone steps: extremely wide, ten steps left and right, counting hundreds of steps up, leading to the temple gate.

(Hmph...) οΌ‰

With a sigh of relief, Shou Shifang put his hands behind his back and looked up: there, at the end of the stone steps, in front of the temple gate, a person was standing silently, with his head down, looking at him.

With a weird smile, Shou Shifang greeted him with a rare gesture, and when returning the salute, Cao Bodao used exactly the same movements as him.

Soon, Shou Shifang had crossed the stone steps and stood in front of the temple gate, blocking him and the temple gate, was Cao Bodao, whose face was flat and did not seem to show any hostility.

didn't speak immediately, Shou Shifang crossed Cao Bodao's shoulder, looked at the temple, looked at it for a while, and said lightly: "This temple is indeed from the Pure Land Sect?" ”

Cao Bodao bowed slightly, but said: "I am also here for the first time, but I have been famous." ”

Shou Shifang squinted at him, and suddenly laughed wildly: "Once famous? That's an understatement!"

"Is it really your own volition to come here? Knowing that this place is something that Uncle Shi has always dreamed of, do you really have the courage to come here with your own will, come here to worship the Buddha, and come here to worship?! ”

In the midst of wild laughter, Shou Shifang's face reappeared, and his right hand flickered, showing a flashing white light, and slashed straight at the wall on his right hand.

"This hellish place, this place that 'finally' appeared when it was no longer 'should', you can actually watch it?!"

Almost at the same time as Shou Shifang's movements, Cao Bodao's left hand flipped up and down, as if pulling an invisible thin line in the air, binding the white light, and then his left hand tightened, and his right hand pulled outward, only to hear the sound of "pounce", the white light has been strangled.

Silently staring at Shou Shifang, Cao Bodao's eyes did not have any excited look, and he said quietly: "It's always something that Uncle Shi once dreamed of, who built it, so what's the matter?" ”

Contrary to Cao Bodao's calmness, Shou Shifang was almost spewing fire from his eyes at this moment, and the two confronted each other like this for a while, Shou Shifang seemed to suddenly relax and sighed: "That... So what's the matter? ”

Fang waved his hand lightly and said, "In that case, why not take a visit?" ”

Cao Bodao leaned sideways and said lightly, "Please." ”

In the barren mountains, the Guigu Fulong, who had just "returned", didn't seem to be able to understand what was going on, his face was dazed, his face was frightened, he just stood indifferently, his right hand pressed his chest meaninglessly, and his eyes were confused.

The red light that had just burned inside him had faded with every breath he had, and soon, his body had returned to normal.

"You, why..."

Without looking back at him, Tianji Ziwei said: "I have two vermilion fruits, which others asked for from Kunlun back then. ”

Guigu Fulong's shoulder shook and said, "Kunlun? "I can't control myself in my head, and words flow through me.

(In the enlightened north, there are sighted flesh, pearl trees, jade trees, jade trees, and immortal trees.) The phoenix and the bird are all wearing eyes. There are also Lizhen, Muhe, cypress, Ganshui, Shengmu Mandui, a very wooden tooth... οΌ‰

Glancing at him, Tianji Ziwei smiled faintly: "Remembered? ”

Guigu Fulong's face suddenly seemed to be frosty, and said, "I don't admit your affection." ”

Tianji Ziwei smiled and said, "Of course." ”

"I knew you were going to be 'immortal.'"

He bited very heavily in the word "immortal", Guigu Fulong's face changed unconsciously, and he actually took half a step back, and said: "You..." But listening to Tianji Ziwei said lightly: "If not, how would I know that the power of using the skin of the cave to trigger 'it' will allow you to 'come back' so quickly?" ”

Ignoring Guigu Fulong's face had turned pale, Tianji Ziwei still said slowly: "But don't worry, I didn't plan to ask you to ask for 'it', whether you are the 'right master' or not, if 'it' itself is unwilling, no one should want to take 'it' away from Guigu, since 'it' will allow you, of course, it also has its own reasons, so I don't want to meddle in things, but, another thing..."

As she spoke, Tianji Ziwei had turned around, her eyes blazing, and she looked at Guigu Fulong.

"But you must give it back."

Guigu Fulong trembled for a while, and almost wanted to retreat again, but he held back and said, "You, what do you want?" I don't understand. ”

Tianji Ziwei smiled and said, "What I want is a stone that you have been using for many years." In just one sentence, the head of the Guigu Fulong was already sweating profusely.

The strange light in the right eye reappeared, and Tianji Ziwei slowly approached Guigu Fulong, that kind of focused and strange gaze made Guigu Fulong even difficult to breathe, but like a prey targeted by a fierce beast, his whole body seemed to be paralyzed, and he couldn't even move.

"To put it bluntly, you don't need it now, because you should have absorbed everything you can learn, and you don't have the ability to stimulate what you can't learn, so now, it's worthless to you..."

"So, it's time for you to return the Fulong Stone and return it to the real 'Guigu Fulong'!"

Suddenly speeding up his voice, Tianji Ziwei's right hand suddenly accelerated, and before Guigu Fulong could make any reaction, he had already dug deep into his forehead!

In the night, the huge temple was so quiet as if it was asleep, except for the neat and leisurely sound of evening classes, there was no "human voice" echoing here.

Along the way, through the Jialan Temple, the Arhat Hall, the Heavenly King Palace, the Bell and Drum Tower... The buildings that all kinds of temples should have, the images that all kinds of Buddhism should see, there are strong and majestic, there are gentle and affectionate, there are angry eyes, there are grotesque and unscrupulous, all of them, and so on, but they all reveal a calming taste.

As the predecessors said, it is said: You can rest assured.

However, there is also a heart that cannot be settled.

"This temple was also made by Hongdao?"

Walking in the temple, but completely ignoring the quiet atmosphere around him, with an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, Shou Shifang even seemed to be laughing at something when he spoke.

"Yes, it was built by Master Hongdao."

Completely different from Shou Shifang's attitude, Cao Bodao's expression was always calm and respectful, and while speaking, he suddenly turned sideways to make way for the two monks who walked in front of him.

"But today is unlucky, he went out again, and I don't know if he will come back that day, I'm afraid he won't see him..."

Taking a sip hard, Shou Shifang sneered: "It's just a dog from Shi Futu!" See his fart! ”

Cao Bodao sighed lightly and said: "Shifang, what happened back then, Shi Shibo was indeed wrong, but over the years, if..."

Staring at Cao Bodao, Shou Shifang said word by word: "Baidao, it is your business to be willing to reconcile with that thing... But never in front of me, okay? ”

Silently, after a while, Cao Bodao bowed silently and said nothing.

Shou Shifang didn't seem to be angry, staring at Cao Bodao, his chest was still lying together, and he seemed to be still caught in some great anger, unable to extricate himself.

After a while, Shou Shifang regained his composure, and that evil smile appeared on his face again, staring at Cao Bodao and saying, "Sixth Master Cao... Where is he now? ”

Cao Bodao raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "The main hall." ”

Without waiting for Shou Shifang to speak, he said: "I can't solve the poison on the knife." He said with an angry face.

Shou Shifang seemed to be satisfied or funny at first, and the smile on his face turned out.

"Baidao, you seem to be angry, is it because I actually used poison?"

Seeing Cao Bodao nodding silently, Shou Shifang's smile became even stronger.

"But why can't I use poison? Knives kill, fists kill, poison can kill, why can I use a knife and a fist, but I can't use poison? ”

Strange smile, although Cao Bodao did not answer, Shou Shifang's voice gradually became louder, as if he was debating with someone who could not see.

"Answer me, why don't you answer?"

"Isn't it okay to kill people with poison? Isn't it better to kill people with scheming?! ”

"Fuck, why don't you speak, answer me?!"

The louder the voice, the sleeping night birds also woke up, making Cao Bodao's brows also begin to tangle, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he clasped his palms on his chest and whispered: "Shifang, you have fallen into the devil." ”

In a word, it was like a slap on the head, Ling Shou Shifang's voice choked suddenly, and the whole person stiffened there, and the mouth that was halfway through the laugh was grinning like this, looking a little murderous and a little funny.

After a while, he replied and stared at Cao Bodao, looking incredulous.

The sound has also become an extremely slow rhythm.

"Say, I, into the devil..."

In a voice like a dream, Shou Shifang muttered, getting lower and lower, but suddenly burst into an earth-shattering laugh!

"Say I'm in the devil, ha, haha, I actually said I'm in the devil, Baidao, it turned out that you said I was in the devil, hahahaha..."

Laughing, Shou Shifang even burst out of tears, and his whole body was shaking violently, like a madman.

The laughter stopped abruptly, Shou Shifang stood up straight suddenly, there was no more excitement or madness in his eyes, only ferocity... Murderous.

… It's like a wild beast.

"Say that I am a demon, Baidao, this is really a great compliment, isn't Uncle Daohong said to be a demon? But I don't think I'm worthy yet, compared to my uncle, I'm not worthy at all, I'm like this, what kind of demon is it..."

Grunting, Shou Shifang suddenly turned around and strode in the direction of the main hall.

"I've talked too much nonsense, Baidao, let's go and see your 'brother'..."

The month is close to mid-heaven.

Just now, Tianji Ziwei suddenly made a move and dug out a small stone from Zhu Ziping's forehead, and after that, he ignored Zhu Ziping, who fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and just looked at the stone by himself.

Under the moonlight, I don't know what texture of the stone exudes a luminous brilliance, it looks ethereal, very good-looking, but I can't grasp it clearly, Tianji Ziwei looked at it carefully for a while, suddenly smiled to herself, and closed her hands - when she spread it out again, the stone was gone, and he didn't know where he had hidden it.

Fang squatted down, put a finger on Zhu Ziping's wrist, closed his eyes for a few moments, exhaled a long breath, stood up with his hands in his hands, and squinted to look at the stars in the sky: Hearing Sisuo behind him, Zhu Ziping had woken up and was struggling to get up from the ground.

Glaring at Tianji Ziwei for a long time, Zhu Ziping suddenly said, "I still don't understand." ”

Tianji Ziwei smiled: "You can ask." ”

Zhu Ziping thought for a while and said, "Back then, who left the Fulong Stone there?" ”

Tianji Ziwei said lightly: "Naturally, it is Fulong in Guigu, the people next to him, who can let the stone of Fulong leave the stone statue?" ”

Zhu Ziping's eyes showed a look of confusion, and said, "But, that's... Who are you? ”

Tianji Ziwei said: "I am Feng." He added: "I have the Phoenix Chick Stone in my body, you should feel it." The voice was flat, and there was no trace of emotion.

Zhu Ziping lowered his head and muttered, "But, this is not right, how is it possible, unless... Don't?! Suddenly stopped his voice, raised his head suddenly, his face was extremely shocked, staring at Tianji Ziwei, and he couldn't speak.

With the same look as usual, Tianji Ziwei said: "Figured it out?" ”

Zhu Ziping muttered: "I think, I figured it out, but how could it be..."

"For thousands of years, all the people of Guigumen have been proud of the four spirits of their bodies, working hard, trying their best to calculate, just to be able to take half a step forward, but I have never heard of anyone willing to bow down when they can go further, only you, you are the first, but, why..."

Smiling, looking at Zhu Ziping, who looked extremely distressed, Tianji Ziwei suddenly added, "Actually, I originally considered whether to take the Wolin Stone, but after thinking about it, I think I still prefer the phoenix that can fly in the sky." ”

Unconsciously grabbing his hair, Zhu Ziping's eyes were chaotic, and he said: "Yes, of course, at the same time that the Fulong Stone can be separated, the Phoenix Chick or the Wolin Stone must have been separated first, but why, why did you choose this way..."

A strange light flashed in her right eye, and Tianji Ziwei said: "There are two reasons for that choice, but there is no need for you to know." ”

And he said, "To be honest, you actually disappointed me. ”

"Although you haven't passed the exam, and you haven't received the empowerment of the Four Spirits, after all, you are a person who has studied art in the Ghost Valley for ten years, and you have the most detailed set of intelligence and strategies in the Fulong Stone today, so you should be able to deal with Jinzhou, and deal with small incidents such as the Xiang and Wanyan familiesAt the same time, they should not be allowed to have the capital to be autonomous, but in fact, such a little thing has been done by you full of flaws, so do you really think you can face the name of Fulong calmly? ”

Zhu Ziping was stunned for a moment, his face was already unconvinced, and before he could speak, Tianji Ziwei had already sneered: "You are still not convinced?" ”

"It is very beautiful to borrow a knife to kill people and use the power of Qiu Yangming to get rid of Zhang Nanjian, but why did he leave a greedy wolf to escape, and why did he not master the most important 'Taiping Heavenly Soldier'? Taking a step back, if it's already started, why not do it to the end? After the first wave of civil strife, the most efficient way to do this is to immediately create suspicion among the Taiqing and the Jumen, especially since the seeds that can give Yuqing an excuse have fled, and then all semi-public avenues should be opened to show favor to one of them, rather than waiting for them to create chaos on their own. ”

"The same is true of the Heishui family, I know that you deliberately let the plot leak out, and you want to use this to let the loyalists of Wanyan Qianjun gather together and catch them all, and you also want to leave the seeds of the Heishui family's continued civil strife in the future, this method is indeed efficient, but have you ever thought that if you want to leave this seed, there are more concise means?"

"I have already created the suspicion of my brother and mastered the truth of the double room, so why not go further and use those two people to induce Wanyan Qianjun to leave some handwritten documents that can prove that Wanyan Gaizhi is indeed a rebel? Only by owning this kind of thing can you destroy the reign of Wanyan Gaizhi at any time you want without using your own hands. ”

"And more importantly, I can assert that your identity has in fact been leaked, at least, some of the three kings of the inner court have noticed that your identity as a 'ghost valley Fulong' is in doubt."

Zhu Ziping's face twitched, but he couldn't help it, and said, "Why?" ”

Tianji Ziwei said lightly: "Because you didn't take advantage of the appearance of Qingyu, because you didn't even respond to the appearance of Qingyu." ”

"Killing the sword... Its Yuan Ling is Kui Wood Wolf, the only 'evil soldier' among the Heavenly Divine Soldiers, and it is a murderous thing that once set off a bloody storm, these things are all secrets of the DPRK and China, as the 'military advisor of the Wanyan family', there is really no chance to know, and it is impossible to arrange something for it, but as the 'Guigu Fulong', you should at least know the first two, and you should take advantage of this opportunity to directly direct the anger of Qingyu to Wanyan Qianjun and the others. ”

"In the database of the Ghost Valley, this is only the fourth-level intelligence, anyone who gets the 'Turtle Stone' can know it, but you, the person who calls yourself 'Ghost Valley Fulong', are at a loss, what will you think in Wang Siqian's eyes? You must know that among the ancestors of the 'Langya Wang family', there was once a 'Guigu Phoenix Chick'! The successive heads of the Wang family may know more about Guigu than most of the Guigumen people! ”

"This at least shows that you have not fully mastered the full extent of the Fulong Stone, and it also shows that your ability is not enough for you to control it. And what if, he wants to go one step further? ”

With Tianji Ziwei's reprimand, Zhu Ziping's face became more and more pale, and he finally lowered his head and said, "Senior brother blames." ”

He also said: "But, but Ziping really has a hard time, please..." ”

"What you really want to take revenge on is not the Wanyan family, but Zhongda and the 'Kaijing Zhao family', right?"

Zhu Ziping's face changed several times, and he said loudly: "Exactly!" ”

"The Wanyan family is just a knife, and the one who is really guilty is the hand holding the knife!"

"If you want revenge, you should destroy that hand and the knife together!"

Tianji Ziwei sighed lightly, her expression was very gloomy, and said, "Are you still thinking about revenge?" ”

Zhu Ziping was stunned for a moment, and said, "Of course...", but saw Tianji Ziwei turn around, her eyes were blazing, looked at him, and said: "I mean, just now, you have gone from life and death, from death to life twice, on the road of yin and yang, do you only have revenge in your heart?" ”

"Hokoji Temple... This seems to be the only big temple built by Hongdao in the Jinzhou area, right? ”

With his hands behind his back, walking in front of Cao Bodao, Shou Shifang walked very fast, until he reached the front of the majestic Daxiong Treasure Hall, Fang suddenly stopped and asked.

β€œβ€¦ Should be. ”

Hearing Cao Bodao's answer, Shou Shifang grinned, sneered, and did not answer, and as soon as he took a step, he went straight into the hall.

For example, all the temples in the world, the specifications are always about the same: the Mahavira Hall is a plastic golden body, the two sides are equipped with Manjushri Puxian Bodhisattva, the long case in front of the Buddha is dedicated to all kinds of fragrant flowers and fruits and the believers to offer the ever-bright lamp, a number of futons in front of the case, which is for the monks and pilgrims to pay homage to the Buddha, and there is a box, the word "merit" is written on it, which is to let a number of believers burn incense and then give a number at will. There are no new tricks in Faguang Temple, Shou Shifang enters the hall, everything you see is very familiar, the Buddha statue is so, the furnishings are so, for a while, there is a feeling of dizziness.

… For him, the last time he stepped into the Buddha Sutra was more than ten years ago.

Shaking his head, he took a deep breath of the cool air under the night, Shou Shifang calmed down, and saw Cao Zhongde, his face was pale, leaning on the side of the merit box, his eyes were still very calm, not a trace of scattered panic. I also saw that there were still four or five monks in the hall, but they were all small novices, all of them were full of panic, and their eyes were evasive.

οΌˆβ€¦ But he's also a good man. οΌ‰

Nodding slightly, Shou Shi smiled at Cao Zhongde and said, "Why, can't Sixth Master Cao solve our little poison?" ”

Seemingly extremely tired, Cao Zhongde's voice was very low, but it was still clear, and his tone was still crisp.

"Mention your conditions."

Stunned for a moment, Shou Shifang said: "What did you say?" ”

He didn't even bother to open his eyes, Cao Zhongde let out a breath, rubbed his body, leaned on the merit box, closed his eyes and said: "I'm seriously injured now, and I can't detoxify, so I can't escape at all, if you really want to kill me, you can do it now... So, don't waste everyone's time, put forward your conditions right away! ”

was shocked by Cao Zhongde's words, and his complexion changed suddenly, and the fierce light in his eyes appeared, but it only flashed, and he was pressed in the end. With a long breath, his face was slightly gentle, he stared at Cao Zhongde, and said with a smile: "Baidao, you brought me here just to let me listen to this?" But it was said to Cao Bodao, who had arrived behind him.

Shaking his head slightly, Cao Bodao said, "I just want to see you, I haven't seen you for many years." After a pause, he said, "I don't want to do anything with you." ”

Because of Cao Bodao's words, his shoulder shook, Shou Shifang Xuan calmed down, and said silently: "I haven't seen you for many years... Truly. ”

He smiled again: "Sixth Master Cao, you are so blessed, Lao Tzu will come here alone, in fact, I want to persuade Baidao again, don't accompany you to give up your life in vain, I am not interested in playing any tricks with you... Now, however, Lao Tzu's mind has really changed. ”

Suddenly, there was a long howl, and both hands were raised: only to hear the jingle noise, seeing two cold lights flying through the hall, the hand of "Qiang" fell back into the hands of Shou Shifang, followed by "Tong", "Tong" a few muffled sounds, four huge clay heads fell to the ground, and the statues of the kings of the two compartments have been made headless ghosts.

Staring at Cao Bodao, Shou Shifang said word by word: "Baidao, you are different from me, when you left, you did not turn against Buddhism on your face, I also know that over the years, you have never hurt anyone's life on your hands, and you would rather be injured yourself than kill the enemy, I also heard that you are very loyal to Cao Zhi, and you are also very concerned about these 'brothers' of yours, and you attach great importance to them... Well, I'll give you a chance. ”

Suddenly, he reached into his arms, and when he took it out, he had brought a small suede bag, and smiled mysteriously, he pinched the bottom of the small bag with two fingers and picked it up, and looked at it between Cao Zhongde and Cao Bodao.

"This pack of things can solve the poison on Cao Liuye's body, this bag of things, as soon as I exert myself, it will all be sprinkled on the ground... And what will happen to this package of things depends on you. ”

Suddenly, his face sank, and Shou Shifang said sharply: "Baidao, I will only say it once, now do it, dismantle this turtle sun Faguang Temple for me to flatten, kill all the fucking bald heads for me, this package of antidote is yours, Lao Tzu will turn his head and leave, and he will not delay!" ”

Under the moonlight, Zhu Zi sat calmly, like a stone statue without consciousness, and the Tianji Ziwei beside him just looked up at the sky and did not look at him slightly.

The stars moved westward, and Zhu Ziping finally let out a long breath, slowly stood up straight, and bowed deeply to Tianji Ziwei.

"Senior brother."

Without looking back, Tianji Ziwei said lightly: "Still can't figure it out?" ”

Zhu Ziping smiled miserably and said, "I figured it out, but I couldn't let it go." ”

"1,381 lives are on my shoulders, and I can't let go."

Taking a deep breath and exhaling turbid air, Tianji Ziwei suddenly said: "After that day, the Zhu family doesn't seem to have been removed, who are you who supports the faΓ§ade on Fengxiang's side now?" ”

Zhu Ziping said: "It's a brother of my clan, he is just honest, but it's useless." After a pause, he added, "He doesn't know me, and the people in the clan think I'm already dead." ”

Tianji Ziwei snorted and said, "But... Some people must still know? Is she close to you? ”

Zhu Ziping was silent for a moment, bowed down and said, "That's my sister." ”

Tianji Ziwei sighed and said, "That's it, that's it, if you can't let it go, you can do it." He waved his hand and said, "Let's go..." ”

Zhu Ziping bowed to the ground, didn't say anything again, turned around, strode away, and in a blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the darkness and disappeared.

In the Faguang Temple, hearing the "conditions" of Shou Shifang, the two Cao were surprised, and they didn't know what to say, the hall was extinguished for a while, only the few ever-bright lamps in front of the Buddha were burning and peeling, and the surrounding was more dead and silent, but outside, wave after wave of noisy.

At this time, there should have been monks in the temple, and it was just now that the two Cao entered the temple and invited them out of the temple, but they did not go far. Shou Shifang heard it in his ears, but he didn't hear it, and a pair of eyes turned around on Er Cao's body like two poisonous fires, and said, "What do you mean, have you two made up your mind?" ”

Cao Zhongde was originally a scheming person, so he made a decision in front of the army, but at this moment, he actually felt sweat on his back, dry hair, and a word rolled around in his mouth, but he couldn't say it in the end, peeked at Cao Bodao: Seeing that his face was slightly expressionless, he was also looking at his own expression, and he didn't feel a battle, so he hurriedly withdrew his eyes, and saw that Shou Shifang's face was ridiculed, and he felt that the wound on his chest was also to blame, and he was itchy again, and his heart was even more irritated, and in a chaos, he suddenly thought: "If it is... If Bong Hyo was here, how would he answer? ”

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting loudly: "The evil demons from there are talking nonsense?!" The voice was like thunder, and the cultivation seemed to be quite low, and I saw a fat monk holding a Zen staff and breaking into the hall, while still saying loudly: "Don't you know that this is Master Hongdao's temple?" I don't know what the relationship between Master Hongdao and the Buddha Venerable..."As he spoke, he walked closer, and when he saw that the three of them ignored him, he said loudly: "What are you from, you can't get through..."

I saw that Shou Shifang had moved in front of him like lightning, and the moon blade in his right hand had been slashed in front of the monk's forehead, but it was held by Cao Bodao with a Zen staffβ€”it was taken from the monk's hand.

According to the monk, the two of them were seven or eight steps away, but once they started, they were as fast as a spark, and the monk was like a child who couldn't use it for himself, and he didn't understand it for a while, and he was still saying: "... Through the surname... The voice gradually became smaller, and he began to fight, but he finally understood, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.

With a hideous look in his eyes, Shou Shifang stared at Cao Bodao and said coldly: "Do you want him to die?" As he spoke, he pointed at Cao Zhongde with his left hand, Cao Bodao was stunned for a moment, and said, "No." And said: "But, Shifang, you don't want to..."Before the words were finished, Shou Shifang cut off in a sharp voice: "Fart!" As he spoke, his face was full of fierceness, and he said loudly: "Baidao, let me ask you, if we killed one person at the beginning, we could let Uncle Shi survive, and we could make things happen later... Will you go with me to kill? ”

Cao Bodao's voice froze, and he said, "This..."Shou Shifang has said loudly: "What is this, I only ask you, will you kill?!" ”

"You should understand that you will definitely kill!"

"So don't lie to yourself and say that you are a Buddha and can't bear to kill, you just feel that there is not enough price to pay for your killing! So I'm going to ask you now, do you think it's worth your murder for the sake of your brother's life!? ”

In the loud shout, Shou Shifang's hand was not idle, and he turned around, the moon blade had been detached from the Zen staff, and the backhand slashed at the monk's waist, this time the move was faster than just now, the monk was already scared to the soft, and there was still a flash there, but only the sound of "Zheng" was heard, and the spark splashed again: Cao Bodao actually turned the Zen staff lightning and pestle on the ground, and blocked this blow again!

"Baidao, you!"

Something happened, Shou Shifang was furious, and his voice became sharp, but Cao Bodao's face became serious, staring at Shou Shifang and saying: "Shifang, the question just now, I'll answer you now." ”

"If we could have saved Uncle Shi by killing an innocent person, I would have killed him, but afterwards, I would have committed suicide to apologize to that person."

His voice was still calm, not slow, but Ling Shou Shifang couldn't speak, just looked at him in a daze, and listened to him continue: "As for today, I won't kill people or destroy this temple, but I won't watch the sixth brother die." Saying that, there was a heavy blow in his hand, and the moon blade of Shou Shifang was shaken open, and as far as he could reach, Shou Shifang retreated a few steps, but his face was still confused.

With a face like an ancient well without waves, Cao Bodao abandoned his Zen staff, put his hands together, and said: "Please give me the antidote, Shifang, as the price, I am willing to bear your anger." ”

Shou Shifang's face changed several times, and when he was finally about to speak, he suddenly heard a clear Buddha call coming from outside the hall:

"Amitabha, the three donors stepped into this Buddha land, and the poor monks were polite."

Because of this unexpected interference, the stalemate between Shou Shifang and Cao Bodao has a chance to turn around, but this does not mean that Shou Shifang will be grateful to this newcomer, in fact, in his mind, this person should be said to be a suitable opportunity, an opportunity for his "anger" to vent.

"What are you?!"

Extremely rudely asked, Shou Shifang quickly turned his head away from the position facing Cao Bodao, which made him not have to face Cao Bodao's eyes, but made him see another pair of more calm and peaceful eyes.

The monk who was entering the hall with a calm posture was no more than forty years old, with a beard, wearing a very poor brown cloth robe, with a gentle expression, and a faint sense of compassion in his eyebrows, and seemed to be very anxious, but he could not see clearly.

No matter how you look at it, this is a person who is difficult to be hostile to, but there are also people in this world who can't predict reactions like Shou Shifang.

"You, you're Hongdao?"

Seeming to hesitate, he asked, and when he got an affirmative answer, he looked at Cao Bodao first, spread his hands, and threw the sun and moon wheel blade in his hand to the ground.

Such an action made the monks inside and outside the hall breathe a sigh of relief, and Hongdao also seemed very happy, took a step closer, and clasped his hands and said: "Donor..."

"!"

Accompanied by this rude obscenity, a fist smashed heavily on Hongdao's face, the power of the fist was so great that in addition to cutting off his voice in his mouth on the spot, it also made his body fly up obliquely, and without waiting for him to land, Shou Shifang had also jumped up, his whole body tightened in the air, and then bounced horizontally, kicked straight with both feet, and supported Hongdao's waist heavily, making him fly out horizontally like a broken kite, and with a "pass", the statue of the king of the country who had been severed was knocked through, fell into a mass of wood and stone, and was buried alive.

With the uproar of the whole hall, Shou Shifang licked his lips, looked at Cao Bodao, and said with a cruel smile: "I don't use a knife... It's always okay, right? Without waiting for Cao Bodao to answer, he suddenly flew up and rushed to the pile of earth and stone fragments, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, his right fist was raised, and he slammed down!

In the thunderclap, the earth and rocks burst out, and everyone saw clearly: this punch pierced through the obstacle, and the unmistakable hit hit Hongdao's chest, causing his chest to sink downward, and at the same time, the fist power was transmitted, and a large pit was formed under him.

After receiving three blows in a row, Hongdao's face was already pale, but he was still able to hold it, there was no blood at the corner of his mouth, his spirit was still good, but he obviously had no strength, and he was lifted from the pit by Shou Shifang with his chest clothes, his hands and feet were soft and hung down, but a pair of eyes still had a god, looking at Shou Shifang, he still seemed to have pity.

… Such a look made Shou Shifang even more angry.

"You, can you really think that I can't kill you?!"

In the roar, he suddenly threw the grand road down, moved back to the hall like lightning, hit the ground with his right heel, shook the double blades into the air, copied it into his hand, glanced at the monks outside the hall, and suddenly asked Cao Bodao: "Baidao, you should always know the details of this guy?" ”

Cao Bodao lowered his eyebrows and clasped his hands, and said: "Master Hongdao, he doesn't have any strength in his body, if he wants to fight people, he can't even win against an ordinary soldier." ”

Shou Shifang said angrily: "However, he has the strength of that guy Shi Futu, and he has the capital known as 'can't be killed', right?" ”

Suddenly, he waved his blades vertically and horizontally, cut a deep ditch on the ground, and then somehow picked and picked, and shook the earthwork the size of a carriage into the air, and then jumped up, let out a roar, and kicked the earthwork in the direction of Hongdao, and all the monks saw it clearly, and they all exclaimed.

However, when the earthwork was about to collide with Hongdao, a faint white light flashed from his body, gently resisting the earthwork, although the earthwork collapsed in an uproar and buried Hongdao underneath, but for those who could see and know what the white light was, they understood that he had not been really hurt at all.

"Hey, sure enough, with that guy's power lurking in your body, although you can't hurt people, you can't be hurt by people so easily..."

With one hand on his waist, he stared at the large pile of clods with a sneer, Shou Shifang muttered, at this time, Hongdao was standing up calmly from the mound, seeing that he was obviously not hurt, all the monks were overjoyed, and even more humane: "Amitabha, it is indeed the Dharma boundless..."

"Fart!"

With a scream, Shou Shifang's left hand flickered, and he immediately saw the cold light flickering, and heard the sound of "Qiang", but it was his double-edged hands, flying in a circle in the air, turning back, and being taken by him with one hand.

Holding his twin blades high, Shou Shifang squinted at Hongdao and said with a cruel smile: "Buddhism is boundless? ”

Seeing that Hongdao was still standing in the pile of clods with his palms together, there was a faint red line on each cheek, and then, bright red blood beads began to flow out of the red line, slowly flowing down.

Seeing that Hongdao didn't answer, Shou Shifang laughed, turned to the monks outside the hall, and said fiercely: "See it?" That power... At least I can't defend against a sword, I can cut his face, and of course I can cut his throat. ”

Suddenly, he raised his voice and roared, "Tell me, do you want him to die?!" The sound waves were like thunder, and they shook the front monks to the point that their legs weakened and they sat down on the groundβ€”all the monks on their sides were already wrinkled and covered their noses, and a peculiar smell was already spreading in the air.

The fat monk before was the chief of the precepts in this temple, and when he saw that all the monks looked at him, he scolded in his heart, so he had to bite the bullet and said loudly: "Hong... Master Hongdao... He... He is a senior Buddhist monk of my Buddhism, a master of Buddhism... Profound... And the Buddha sees... Valuing, you... If you hurt him, the day... In the future, the Buddha will condemn the sin, and you must..."There must be something, I can't say anything anymore.

Hearing the word "Buddha", Shou Shifang was silent for a moment, suddenly laughed wildly, and even burst into tears, and said: "You, you * raised, actually used Shi Futu to scare me..." The contrast between his two words was too great, and the fat monk was stunned, and when he was about to find a few more words to say, he suddenly felt empty under his feet: Fang found that Shou Shifang had actually forced himself in front of him and lifted his collar up.

Almost touching the nose of this fat monk, Shou Shifang leaned his face closer, and said with a smile: "Offending the Buddha, the consequences are indeed very serious... However, if I just kill you, the Buddha may not be able to account for it? ”

In just one sentence, the fat monk had almost fainted, but Shou Shifang still didn't let him go, his face was getting closer and closer, and he sighed, and said: "However, I always like to give people a chance to choose, you can not die, but in that case, I have to recklessly send this Hongdao master to see the Buddha, and if you are willing to let me kill him obediently, I will promise to let Hongdao Master go... How about having such an opportunity to sacrifice oneself as a Buddha, do you feel so glorious and great? Suddenly, his face sank, and he said sharply: "Kill you or kill him, in a word!" He threw the fat monk to the ground.

In the dust, the fat monk said in a trembling voice: "Kill... Let's kill him...", although the voice was very small, it was enough for everyone to hear clearly.

Cao Bodao sighed lightly, bowed his head and said nothing, Cao Zhongde's face was also very ugly, only one of the ten sides seemed to be extremely happy, crossed his waist and laughed, in the laughter, the fat monk's face changed several times, gradually like ashes, and suddenly fell to the ground, whining and crying bitterly.

Laughing for a while, Shou Shifang turned around suddenly, looked at Cao Bodao, stared at Hongdao again, and said loudly: "Have you two seen it, this is a person in Buddhism!" That's what the fuck is a Buddhist! Suddenly, he raised his head and howled towards the top of the hall: "Uncle, have you seen it, this is the Buddha Gate, this is the Buddha Gate that has made you pay so many things... Fuck, why didn't you kill all these things in the first place, didn't you eradicate them all in the first place! "The howl was like a wolf, like a terrible pain, and there were tears like beads, rolling down.

He laughed and cried, looking crazy, but he frightened all the monks outside the hall, and there was no sound, so even Cao Bodao and Cao Zhongde felt that they had nothing to say, but Hongdao recited a Buddha name lightly and said: "Donor, you are still wrong after all." ”

As soon as he said a word, Ling Shou Shifang's snoring stopped abruptly, looked at Hongdao viciously, did not wipe the tears on his face, and hissed: "What did you say?!" ”

Hongdao shook his head slightly, and said calmly: "I mean, donor, you are wrong. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards Shou Shifang more slowly, his steps were calm, and he was not affected by the atmosphere in the hall.

"Good life, evil death, not understanding the Tao, this is the common thing in the world, if not, my Buddha does not have to make the true scriptures of the three Tibetan persuasions to the world."

"It is precisely because the people of the world do not understand the truth that they need to save the world by creating the Pure Land on behalf of the world, and it is precisely because the world is difficult to abandon their skins that they need to preach the true meaning of Buddhism..." The fat monk froze for a moment, then fell to the ground as if he had collapsed, and began to weep again.

"You!"

With a roar, Shou Shifang approached like lightning, and while he had already kicked Shengyou seven or eight steps away, he glared at Hongdao angrily and said, "The big monk said loudly, I think you are not afraid of death?!" ”

Hongdao sighed lightly, bowed his head and said nothing, but he didn't mean to retreat.

"You... You! ”

Angry, Shou Shifang couldn't control himself anymore, suddenly screamed wildly, flew up, only to see his legs flying in a row, and for a while he didn't know how many kicks he kicked on Hongdao's body, and he also lost his exquisite control, although the color of banging was endless, but he never kicked Hongdao away from the place, just like a sandbag, fluffy and vibrating.

After kicking for a while, Shou Shifang was finally satisfied, with a strange roar, his legs kicked together, kicked him out like a meteor, and hit the main hall before he stopped listening to the golden body - it was already slammed into the golden statue, and the image of Rulai was knocked into a mess.

I don't know what Shi Futu did on Hongdao's body, but in short, it was really good: there was no external injury after being beaten, and there was a shallow white light, even if it appeared after Hongdao crashed into the Buddha statue, starting from the head, it flowed to other parts of the body.

The cold light flashed, and Shou Shifang had also swept the body of the Buddha, half-squatting beside Hongdao, looking at him fixedly, with a very strange expression.

"You know what? I don't want to do this to you, because of your name, because of what you do... It used to be another man's dream. ”

"But I can't stand the shadow of the Buddha on you, I can't stand it... I can't stand you doing 'this', but you're just a dog of Shi Futu, so I'm really going to kill you, not to scare. ”

"So please don't push me."

"My requirements are very low, I just ask you to say in my ear in a very soft voice, 'Shi Futu is a bastard', as long as I am alone, as long as you say, I will leave immediately, and someone will compensate for everything today... Good no good? ”

Looking at Hongdao with longing eyes, Shou Shifang's voice was very low, but it was enough for Cao Bodao to hear, he who had been silently bowing his head and clasping his palms, but after hearing Hongdao's answer, he seemed to have received some strong stimulation, and raised his head suddenly, and a bright light appeared in his eyes.

Hongdao's answer was: "Donor, you are in a demon." In a tone that was almost pitiful, he said.

Hearing such an answer, Shou Shifang's eyes appeared in a color that could only be described by the word "crazy", his lips twitched, and he suddenly waved the wheel blade in his hand.

"Obsessed!"

Roaring angrily, he slashed down, and immediately heard a loud sound, and saw blood splattering!

The blood flowed to Hongdao's forehead, and the knife had been cut into his forehead in half, and the flesh turned to the bone, and the red blood flowed out rapidly, and his eyes and face were blurred.

And, the reason why it was only cut in half and not split the entire head of Hongdao was because of the appearance of a lotus flower.

A lotus flower, white and flawless, still trembling gently, suddenly appeared from the void, supported Shou Shifang's wrist, and offset more than sixty percent of his knife.

Looking at this white lotus, Shou Shifang's expression gradually became confused, and gently, he withdrew the knife and looked at Cao Bodao.

… But he didn't pay attention to Dao, when he saw this white lotus, Hongdao's expression was even more confused than him.

"Baidao, did you still stop me?"

Nodding faintly, Cao Bodao said in a low voice: "Shifang, go down again... Uncle's yesterday will be your tomorrow. ”

As if listening to something extremely funny, Shou Shifang hissed and laughed wildly, and the voice was piercing, making all the monks outside the hall frown, but none of them dared to cover their ears or retreat.

After laughing wildly, Shou Shifang suddenly suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, thank you." You're still putting me on top of your godfather. ”

And almost at the same time as he spoke, Cao Zhongde was also complaining softly in his heart: "Why bother to make a move, if this monk dies, it will be of great benefit to the Taishi..."

"Buddha" Shi Futu, as one of the eight poles of heaven and earth, is also the co-owner of Buddhism in the world, although he almost does not ask about the world, but still has a huge influence on the other seven people, if the longevity of the ten parties kill Hongdao today, it will almost certainly attract the anger from the Lianyin Temple, and that anger is more likely to expand to the entire Liu family, understand the stakes, Cao Zhongde naturally complains about Cao Bodao's "nosy".

As if he hadn't heard Shou Shifang's words, Cao Bodao bowed down and said, "Shifang, please stop." ”

Shou Shifang shook his head slightly and said, "No, it's too late." As he spoke, he waved his hand, only to hear the two sounds of "Zheng" and "Zheng", and the two knives flew out together, slashing in front of Cao Zhongde and Hongdao respectively, and the blade was still trembling slightly.

With one hand on his waist, Shou Shifang stared at Cao Bodao, his expression became more and more provocative, and said: "My murderous intent has moved, not only your brother, not only this dog who released the floating picture... Including everyone here now, I will kill you except you, and no one will survive tonight. ”

After a pause, his expression was slightly indifferent, and he said, "... Unless, you can stop me. ”

Sighing deeply, Cao Bo said, "So, you didn't bring your men down?" Because you don't want them to know? ”

Waving his hand, Shou Shifang said: "No, I just wanted to catch up with you at that time, but, go back and look at it, that's fine." ”

"Because, what is going to happen in a while, there really shouldn't be anything alive to pass it on..."

As he spoke, the ground on Shou Shifang's side began to undergo strange and terrifying changes: it actually began to tremble slightly, and even oozed blood that had condensed into thick black from it, quickly spreading to the surroundings.

Soon, the blood was all over the hall and outward, and before the monks outside the hall could escape, the blood had already flowed under their feet.

"Does all this make you feel familiar, Momodao?"

With a strange smile, Shou Shifang just stood with his waist crossed, without any superfluous movements, but when he spoke, the blood on his side kept fluctuating, and a huge shape began to arch out from the blood water. Looking at these, Cao Bodao's complexion also became very complicated.

"The Seven Evil Men of the Fifth Anzhita Prison... Shifang, you have indeed mastered Uncle Shi's 'Hell Killing Dao' very well. ”

"It's something you won't learn."

As soon as the words were cut off, Shou Shifang's face was as cold as ice, and his tone became tougher.

"And you, the 'White Lotus Pure Land' you inherited, shouldn't you let me take a second look?"

"Ugh..."

With a long sigh, chanting a mantra with his palms together, Cao Bodao's side has appeared in a blink of an eye a wonderful paradise composed of seven treasure glass and perfume white lotus, which also extends rapidly in all directions, and intertwined with those blood and water, attacking each other, and soon, the hall has formed a quite wonderful scene: Cao Bo Daoshou is only fifteen steps apart, but the body is like a world of difference, on one side is the Buddha singing faintly, the lotus shadow is building, on the other side is the ghost crying bursts, blood and water flow, and in addition to the range of six or seven steps in diameter on the side of the two, the rest of the hall has become a mess, In the cross-flow of blood and water, there are white lotus trees from time to time, exuding bursts of aroma, mixed with condensation of bloody gas, which is really an indescribable taste.

At the same time as the "White Lotus Pure Land" appeared, there were also tall gods on Cao Bodao's side, all of whom were two long zhang, holding sticks, pestles, bells, and various magic weapons, a total of six people, lined up in front of Cao Bodao.

"Miyapila, Vazara, Miqira... The twelve gods of the medicine king will be reduced to half at once, and you are not easy to do with the hundred ways. ”

The words seemed to be praised, but the voice was full of sarcasm, Cao Bodao smiled faintly and said, "It's not the same." ”

"I can't invite the Heavenly King Bodhisattva, and you can't send the Prison King Shura, in the final analysis, this is originally Uncle Shi's thing, not something you and I can have on our own."

"Yes." Nodding vigorously, Shou Shifang said: "But, after all, it is still superior to the other." ”

"Let's take a look, the 'Hell Killing Dao' and the 'White Lotus Pure Land' can truly represent Uncle Shi's intentions!"

It's almost time.

After fighting for more than an hour, the entire hall was already shattered, and it seemed that the strength was close to the end, and there was no longer a virtual image around the bodies of Shou Shifang and Cao Bodao, and the ground where the blood and water white lotus was based was also greatly shrunk, except for a few steps around the two of them, they had all returned to their original state.

Both of them looked aggrieved, but they both had a tenacious light flashing in their eyes.

"Baidao, you are really good, all my changes have been broken by you one by one, but you should also be at the end, right?"

Panting heavily, Shou Shifang stroked his chest and said with a cruel smile, on the other side, Cao Bodao's face was already pale, and his body was a little stiff.

"I'm definitely at the end, but... Shifang, why aren't you? ”

Nodding vigorously, Shou Shifang said: "But, you should know that I still have the strength to make the final blow... Can you take it? ”

After a pause, Cao Bodao straightened up and said, "If you and I tried to make a move, I would have already admitted defeat, and if you and I were to die, I would also admit defeat... But not now! ”

"I have always been convinced that the senior uncle who uses the 'Hell Killing Dao' is a senior uncle who has entered the demon, and the value of the 'Hell Killing Dao' will never exceed the 'White Lotus Pure Land'!"

"Therefore, in order to correct Uncle Shi's name, in order to prove Uncle Shi, I must defeat you here today, and I must use the 'White Lotus Pure Land' to overwhelm the 'Hell Killing Dao'!"

"That's... Come on. ”

With a bitter smile, Shou Shifang muttered, as the end, the two of them no longer spoke, but concentrated, and soon, some of the remaining abnormalities in the hall also disappeared without a trace, but the two of them began to emit strong white light and black gas respectively, which looked strange.

(Bo Dao, he actually has such power...) οΌ‰

During the fight, no one noticed Cao Zhongde or Hongdao: although he was seriously injured and poisoned, Cao Zhongde still had enough strength to protect himself, and at the same time, he watched every detail of the fight between the two and was shocked by it.

After the First Battle of the Three Treasures, Cao Zhongkang was the strongest among the "Jiuquer Cao", but since February this year, they found that the door of strength seemed to be suddenly opened, and the wall of power that could not be broken through by all efforts could be gently crossed, in about two or three months, Cao Wenyuan and Cao Yuan let Cao Wenhe successfully break through to the eighth level of power, although Cao Bodao has also improved, but it is slightly inferior to others, and only to the peak of the seventh level can no longer be refined, these, Cao Zhongde knows.

However, just now, the strength shown by Cao Bodao far exceeded Cao Zhongde's estimate!

(This power is better than Gongming...) No, than Zhong Kang... No, even if Wen Yuan faced the current Bodao, he would only end up in defeat! οΌ‰

(Was it a boost made when I didn't know it, or...) He's been hiding his true power all along?! οΌ‰

Surprised, Cao Zhongde didn't notice the movement above him for a while, until the sound was louder, he paid attention and looked up.

There, Hongdao, who had been beaten into the Buddha statue since just now, was still deeply immersed in it, and he couldn't move even though his face was bleeding, and his eyes were covered with blood, and he didn't know whether to open or close.

He had been like this since just now, but now, strange low noises began to appear around him, but after just one glance, Cao Zhongde withdrew his gaze.

(Shi Futu is really powerful, and he can quickly repair his body after being injured like this, and the Buddhist exercises are indeed wonderful...) οΌ‰

At this time, the longevity of the ten directions Cao Bodao's skills have been gathered to the top, the two stand opposite each other, one is like a fragrant white lotus, planted alone in the chaotic turbid world, swaying in the wind, refusing to fake the world, one is like a magic knife, the whole body is thick and black, but they are all made of heavy blood, and all the scattered are ruthless and murderous, just like the heavenly killing descended into the world, to settle the sins of the world.

"Baidao, one last chance!"

In the face of Shou Shifang's roar, Cao Bodao's expression was surprisingly calm.

"Shifang, stop you here today, or watch you fall under siege by many people somewhere in the future... I'd rather choose the former. ”

"Then, let's fight!"

With this tearing roar, the White Lotus Prison Knife was pulled up to the sky at the same time and leaned towards the other party!

(Oops!) The biggest possibility is that they will all end up together! οΌ‰

With his physical strength exhausted and his eyesight still there, Cao Zhongde could see the situation at a glance, but the little strength he had left was used to suppress the toxins in his body, and he couldn't do anything.

The rattling sound was louder, and it was accompanied by large chunks of dirt, falling down.

At this time, the prison knife is about to cut the white lotus!

"Phew!"

The sudden roar is full of mixed emotions: anger, joy, anxiety, relief... And above all these things is power!

Powerful and unbeatable!

In the midst of the loud roar, the golden-bodied Arhat with a long body suddenly appeared, his left hand formed a fist, and he slammed the blade of the prison knife hard, and his right hand was used as a pincer, gently holding the white lotus.

The thunderbolt exploded in a row, and Cao Bo Daoshou all felt a strong surge in all directions, and he could no longer control his body, and flew backwards together, only to hear the two sounds of "Tong" and "Tong", which hit the walls of the temple on both sides respectively, before he stopped castration and slowly slid down - a huge crack appeared on the wall and stretched out.

I saw smoke and dust flying in the hall, and there seemed to be someone standing tall among them, and the anger on his body was tumbling and rolling, which was already extremely strong, but it was mixed with joy that could not be suppressed.

"White Lotus Pure Land, Hell Killing Dao... When I passed it on to you two little bastards, was it so that you could use it for your own hard work?! ”

On May 13 of the 11th year of Emperor Shaojing, after 13 years of absence, the Demon Mida returned to the world!

Taiping Twelve Volumes, Knot.

Postscript: The twelfth volume is the shortest volume to date, with only one chapter, and the name of this chapter was prepared as early as the eighth and ninth volumes, before they were written, called "The Longest Day".

Because, everything happens in the twelfth volume in one day, the thirteenth day of the fifth month, the birthday of Garan Bodhisattva.

I like the feeling, it's dramatic, it's fulfilling, it's fun, and when you write, you feel very rhythmic and compact, but people like it or not... You will only know after reading it.

The end of the twelfth volume was made as early as the idea of the White Lotus Chapter, at that time... It was three years ago, in 2003, when I was not married, and I still believed that I would be able to finish writing the autumn water before the Chinese New Year.

Anyway, it was my pain, and it hurt when I thought about it.

Taiping... Before I knew it, I had come here, and although it was still far from my whole plan, it had come here after all.

Friends who can always follow here, I want to say thank you, I feel that the positioning of Taiping Ji has always been a niche book, there are too many clues, too messy, and the speed of update can only be described as "miserable", in this case, I can still insist on reading it... It's really not easy.

For me, Taiping Ji is not exactly a novel, it should be said to be a dream, a very crazy and chaotic dream, the earliest time, it was influenced by works such as Jihad, Arslan and Alex, I hope to make an alternate history, and because I have always been a stream of Chinese studies, I hope to be able to build a world that can be included in the entire Chinese history.

That's why there are so many names that seem to be similar, and that's why there are so many stories that seem familiar.

Once, I dreamed that I could become famous with it, get rich with it, and become Jin Yong and Gu Long in the new era with him, but today, this idea is long gone.

Today, it's just a simple dream of mine, because I know that I will no longer be able to become a professional writer, that I will never become a language or history teacher at a university, and that writing and reading will always be my hobbies.

But dreams, people always have to have dreams.

As I get older, my work is getting bigger, and my son is growing up, I have long felt that my energy and time are becoming more and more embarrassed.

What I am more afraid of is that in such a cycle, I will eventually lose the will and ability to persevere.

As a creature on the evolutionary tree, man is always weak, and as a part of the social machine, man is always uncertain, so I can't promise something like "I will definitely finish writing", I can only say that, at least, for now, I still have a firm determination to complete the Taiping Ji, and I also hope that after completing it, I can also pick up and write the story of Chiqianshan Chai Tiancheng and Huaping Su Yuan Xiaobing and Ah Lang Wen Liangyu and their story.

At least, now, I still have such confidence and such dreams.

… Dreams, people always have dreams.

Thank you all for staying with me all the way here, thank you.
