.

I saw that on the cliff of the hanging rock, the ancient vines were growing, and a cage was slowly hung down with a winch from the top of the mountain of more than 1,000 meters, ready to lift the coffins of the Nanmu boats containing the dead souls of the ghost cave tribe sacrificed soldiers one by one to the cliff wall of the mountain.

The ghost cave clan believes that the dead soul cannot touch the earth, otherwise the soul cannot ascend to heaven, and the "hanging coffin burial" can make the soul of the deceased ascend to the fairy world, go to the heavens and enter the earth, collect the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, obtain divine power, and cultivate into a demon after thousands of years, so as to protect the people. "In the high mountain of Linjiang half rib digging niche to bury it, from the mountain suspension rope down, the high one thinks that the filial piety. "Not transporting the coffin to the mountainside in a cloud-driven manner is the greatest respect for the donor.

The presiding elders and assistants led the people of the ghost cave to the cliff where the coffin was placed, holding incense and candles, blowing suona, scattering yellow paper to the sky, and reciting scriptures. The assistants put a copper coin in the mouth of each soldier and civilian, and then, more than a thousand tall and strong ghost cave soldiers walked out of the audience and followed.

Those coffins that are filled with the dead souls, the head is big and the tail is small, mostly the whole wood, fixed with the mother and son buckle and tenon, it is made of solid wood, the corrosion resistance is very good, each body weighs about 1,000 catties, the coffin coffin lid is chiseled with square holes for wearing ropes at both ends, carried by four soldiers, and put into the cage hanging on the top of the mountain one by one in order. Halfway up the mountainside, the ghost cave craftsman has been sent to chisel the cave or erect a wooden pile, each time the suspension is hoisted, the coffin is hoisted, there are four warriors along the coffin to the halfway up the mountain, the coffin is transported up the mountain, on the cliff where the hanging coffin is placed, and then along a parallel passage carved out of the cliff, the coffin is advanced in turn, and the coffin is placed in a centralized manner.

Death is not the end, it is a consummation.

The coffin raising ceremony of the thousands of dead souls of the ghost cave clan took a whole night, Su Xinyan and Chang Xi accompanied Fan Xiang to watch for a while, and then returned to the cave together and rested separately.

The next day, Fan Xiang heard from the mouths of several captives that the Beigong servant army that had set out from the south of Dongshengzhou and marched west had continued to assemble westward along the Shunzi Du River along the Kunlun North Mountain Pass.

The harlequin and Su Xinyan naturally wanted to stay with Fan Xiang for a few more days, but Fan Xiang urgently needed to rush to the west to find the enemy, and wanted to save his benefactor as soon as possible, so it was inconvenient to stay longer.

The harlequin and Su Xinyan took several ghost cave elders and dozens of guards to accompany Fanxiang out of the main hall.

At this time, the shark fat fireball on the roof of the cave is also like the sun, from the dark red of the morning dawn to turning red over time, and finally shooting a bright red brilliance. In the large square in the cave, the white cranes fly in the green forest, and the white deer walk freely by the stream.

Stepping over the reef in that section of the stream, stepping on the bluestone slab on the transit plaza and walking out of the cave. In the middle of the line, suddenly the horn outside the cave blew three times, which was a signal of urgent military intelligence.

The clown was slightly surprised, and everyone stopped, stood on the transit square, and stared out of the cave. Dozens of guards behind him drew their swords in unison, ready to fight. At this time, I saw a soldier on duty outside the cave rushing in with a post in his hand, and when he arrived three steps in front of the harlequin, he handed it over with both hands, and bowed down to report: "Report to the master of the village, Murong Shao, the servant of the Beigong Army, sent a messenger to ask for a meeting." ”

The clown took the post, opened it, looked at it, and said, "Okay, bring him in." The warrior turned and ran. After a while, a soldier on duty walked into the cave with a spear in front of him, followed by three envoys from the Beigong servant army. When they were about ten steps away from everyone, the three messengers stopped at everyone and bowed slightly to them.

The envoy of the North Palace was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, with a slightly thin figure, but his gait was also vigorous, followed by two retinues, one of the entourage wore narrow sleeves and half-arm three-piece left suit shirts, decorated with dragon patterns, animal face patterns, insect patterns and back lines, with fine lines and complex structures;

The envoy of the North Palace walked up to the harlequin, nodded, his expression was very arrogant, and the big lama said, "Are you the owner of the village?"

The harlequin looked at the messenger coldly and remained silent.

The envoy took a step forward, didn't care, looked at the harlequin calmly, snorted lightly in his nose, and said loudly: "I am here to make peace on the order of Murong Shao, the left general of the West Road of the Beigong Servant Army. Our Beigong army does not regard you and others as opponents, as long as you do not harass our army and hand over your immortal tears 'shark pearl', General Murong Zuo said that you can ignore your existence in the ghost cave village of Lingzun Mountain, otherwise my Beigong army will step on the ghost cave at any time and destroy your clan, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

The Beigong servants invaded the Ghost Cave Clan for no reason, killing people and setting fires, and the Ghost Cave Clan had long hated them, at this time, seeing that the messenger was so arrogant and rude, the guards behind him couldn't bear it, and jumped forward, and the long knives came out together, facing the three Beigong messengers.

The harlequin waved her hand to the guards, ordered everyone to retreat, and said to the messenger awe-inspiringly: "Your Beigong servants have come to kill my people for no reason, invaded my homeland, and want to take away the treasure of our clan 'Tears of Immortality', unless there is no one left of my people, the Almighty Holy Spirit will punish you." If you want to fight, even if there is only one of us left, we will not give in to you. ”

At this time, the square was already filled with many ghost cave people. The people and guards of the Ghost Cave raised their swords and shouted: "If you want to fight, you will fight, and you will never give in." "The people of the Ghost Cave Clan know that the Beigong servants are powerful, and if they resist unyieldingly, there will only be one worst result, and they all have tragic and impassioned expressions.

Seeing this, the envoy raised the corners of his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "If you want to fight, you will fight? He turned his head slightly, reached out and gently dusted his left sleeve, as if he was dusting off a fly, with a very disdainful expression.

When everyone saw this, six or seven young guards jumped out of the crowd, pointed their swords at the messenger's door, and shouted: "The two armies will not fight each other, and they will not kill you today, but they will take your dog's head on the battlefield and sacrifice to my Holy Spirit in the future, you get out!"

The messenger didn't care, his mouth was flattened, he stared at the harlequin, he smiled, and said with an evil expression: "It's okay if you don't sacrifice the 'tears of immortality', as long as you defeat my two entourage, Dabao and Erbao, hehe, that's okay." However, if you are defeated by us today, then you must surrender to my Beigong and hand over your clan's treasure 'Tears of Immortality'. ...... Hey. Two of his attendants strode forward, rushed forward, pushed away the six or seven young guards, and stood in front of the messenger.

"How can the treasures of our clan be handed over to you devils, if there are no treasures, there are thousands of lives!"

The messenger spat fiercely on the ground, looked at the harlequin coldly, and said, "Bah, you are just a group of bedbugs, what's the use of possessing immortal treasures? ...... Ahem. He coughed twice, dusted his sleeves, and said arrogantly: "Duel, do you dare?"

Spitting on the ground is an extreme insult to the Ghost Cave Clan.

"Why don't you dare?" said the harlequin coldly to the messenger as she drew her full moon scimitar, "then come." ”

"Duel with you, I don't need my sister to come forward, I dare, anyone here dares us!"

The envoy looked at Su Xinyan, who was standing in front of him, and said, "Dabao go first, just don't break this little girl's face, General Murong Zuo specially confessed." The messenger took a step back without fear, and his tone was lewd.

The people of the ghost cave clan have the same enemy, and several well-known strong men in the clan have already stood up to fight a duel with Su Xinyan on behalf of the ugly.

The harlequin waved her hand to the guards and said loudly, "It is incumbent upon my sisters to fight for their homeland!"

The Beigong attendant wearing sleeveless backless armor did not answer, "Teng Tengteng" walked out, strode forward at the harlequin, and it was the big lama who came to grab the scimitar in the clown's hand with one hand. The clown swung her knife and slashed at the wrist of the attendant, and the big treasure flipped her wrist, but she didn't avoid it, and grabbed it against the blade.

The clown only felt that her hand was tight, and the full moon scimitar was already firmly grasped by Dabao, and she pulled and shook it, and shouted: "Get up!" actually lifted the clown in the air, and then threw it heavily to the ground, but her palm was not half scarred.

As soon as it fell, it was like a rabbit falling from a duck, and the big treasure technique was extremely fast, and the guards of the ghost cave were all shocked when they saw that the kung fu of this entourage entering the white blade with empty hands was so powerful.

The harlequin is about to roll over and jump up.

When the great treasure saw this, he jumped up with an arrow, bent his knees, and was about to fall straight from the air, striking the harlequin on the ground with the tip of his knee. The harlequin didn't have time to jump, and hurriedly rolled to the side to avoid the knee.

The guards only heard a loud "bang", the sand and dust were everywhere, Dabao kneeled, and the ground was immediately knocked out of a one-foot-deep stone pit, Dabao jumped up, still waving his hands, and grabbed directly at the harlequin, who waved the knife again and again, clanging, and slashed at the big treasure's body, neck, top of the head and other vital parts. Dabao does not avoid it, and every knife is borne by his body, but he is not injured in the slightest. The harlequin moved and dodged under the wind of the big treasure's claws, swinging her knife and slashing continuously; the big treasure shouted again and again, and the claws were windy, and she grabbed the harlequin's vital place.

The harlequin is at an extremely disadvantageous disadvantage, and several times she is in danger. The wind became more and more urgent, and he grabbed the scimitar in the harlequin's hand again, and he was about to throw it away in mid-air. The clown's hand was tight, and she knew that it was not good, so she had to give up the knife. Dabao threw the full moon scimitar he grabbed in his hand at the harlequin, and the harlequin hurriedly dodged. Dabao then bullied closer, followed by jumping, although Dabao is huge, but the body is extremely fast, kicked at the harlequin to chase the wind without a shadow leg, seeing that the clown is about to die at the feet of Dabao.

At this time, only listen to the crisp sound of a string of "jingle bells", and then, a cyan ribbon is like a giant python, and the dozen or so golden bells at the end of the silk are like golden fangs, carrying the whirring wind, like lightning suddenly to the big treasure in mid-air, Dabao is in the air, caught off guard, although it is also a quick response, but the green cloud silk is really fast, like a cyan electric stone fire, and the big treasure is wrapped around the waist.

Su Xinyan held the Qingyun silk in his hand, pulled it hard, and pulled the big treasure like a big camel to the ground, and fell into the mud. Su Xinyan succeeded in one blow, but he didn't take advantage of the situation to attack again, his hand tightened, shook the Qingyun silk, and gently withdrew the Qingyun silk.

The clown had jumped up at this time, jumped over, and kicked Dabao's back buttocks fiercely, then jumped back to Su Xinyan's side, turned around, smiled at Su Xinyan, and said, "Little sister, this guy has brute force, you have to be careful." ”

"Sister, don't worry. ”

Dabao was in pain, and hurriedly turned over and jumped up, feeling extremely resentful in his heart. Shake your body and transform into a giant bronze figure. I saw him turn into a bronze giant two feet tall and weighing more than 360 pounds. The bronze figure wears a flower-shaped crown, a long cardigan with a chicken-hearted collar on the left, a swallowtail shape at the back, a slender and straight body, and thick arms, which are quite exaggerated and disproportionate to the body. The two hands are in a hugging shape, the left hand is bent and the arm is placed on the side of the chest, the right hand is raised to the right cheek, and the thick thumb is held with the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger. The muscles in his body were intertwined, like the roots of an old tree, and his two fists were the size of a sea bowl. The face is thin, square, straight, wide-mouthed, thick eyebrows and big eyes, the big ears are decorated with cloud and thunder patterns, there is a piercing on the earlobe, the expression is serious, and he stands barefoot in front of everyone, as if waiting to complete some kind of sacred mission.

The messenger took a step forward and shouted, "Great treasure, slow down. Seeing Su Xinyan's one-hit work, he was slightly surprised, looked Su Xinyan up and down, and saw Su Xinyan's face smiling, without fear, and a green cloud silk in his hand was as light as water.

The messenger wanted to stand up, but a beautiful girl came out of the queue before, and as soon as she made a move, she made a dog to gnaw mud on Dabao, and she was stunned for a while. Unconsciously, she took a few steps forward, getting closer to her, and suddenly a sweet fragrance filled the left and right in front of her, and the girl's complexion in front of her became more and more brilliant.

The envoy stared at Su Xinyan's face, and said in his heart: "No wonder Murong Xiaogongzi likes this woman, she is indeed very beautiful." Hurriedly lowered his head, did not dare to look directly, woke up for a while, he was about to take a few steps back to speak, suddenly his eyes lit up, only to see the light as smoke in the green cloud silk entangled, a pair of jade hands white and flawless, ten fingers slender like soft wattles, the skin on the hands is shining, extremely beautiful, the heart was fascinated for a while, I didn't feel a moment of confusion, my hands and feet were a little at a loss, I actually stood in front of Su Xinyan, speechless.

Su Xinyan smiled lightly and said, "What do you want!"

The messenger was taken aback, suddenly realized, hurriedly retreated, stumbled, and fell dangerously, so he stabilized his mind, stood still, fixed his eyes, and saw Su Xinyan in front, Fan Xiang followed behind, and the clothes he was wearing were quite different from those of the ghost cave people, so he raised his eyes to look at Fan Xiang, and in order to cover up the gaffe just now, he said hatefully: "Who are you? If you are not from the Ghost Cave Clan, get out of ...... as soon as possible."

"In Xia Fanxiang, of course they are not from the Ghost Cave Clan, but they are friends in Xia, and if their friends are in trouble, of course they have to draw their swords to help. Fan Xiang stepped forward, stood in front of Su Xinyan, tilted his head and looked at the messenger nonchalantly, and said with a smile.

"Fanxiang?...... I've heard of you, it's none of your business here, this is a matter between the ghost cave and my Beigong servant army, outsiders are involved, even if my two entourages are defeated, the gambling contract just now will not count. Seeing that Fan Xiang was wearing green clothes, like a scholar, he was born weak, his face was picturesque, his eyes were half-open, his expression was idle and free, standing in front of the guards of the ghost cave, he did not look very prominent, and he was very suspicious in his heart, "This kid is really so powerful as General Yan?"

"Is it true? But isn't your master, Beigong Heavenly Court, always wanted me? So, for you Beigong servants, I, an outsider, have something to do with you, isn't it?...... Why, afraid that I will defeat you?"

"Hmph, you're too arrogant, then I'll see how you defeat Dabao Erbao?"

"Haha, let's wait and see. Fan Xiang looked at the two treasures of the Great Treasure, said leisurely, smiled slightly, didn't look at the messenger, and slowly pulled out the Xuanbing Flame Broken Knife from his waist.
