Xue Ne said in a deep voice: "This Xiongcheng appeared very strangely, but I want to be inseparable from Wu Cao, according to the news from Chang'an, Wu Cao took Li Xiaoyi as the general, commanded 300,000 troops, and sent troops to Yangzhou to crusade against us, this pass appeared out of thin air, the purpose is nothing more than to delay the time for us to go north to Luoyang." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

There is a strange Xiongguan blocking the way, and Li Xiaoyi's 300,000 troops are coming, only 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yangzhou, how to resist?

Tang Ao immediately understood the reason why everyone was depressed, if he couldn't break through this Xiongguan and open up the road to the north before Li Xiaoyi's troops surrounded Yangzhou, the Yangzhou army would be in danger!

Everyone couldn't discuss an effective countermeasure, Tang Ao saw that it was getting late, and after informing everyone, he went back to rest, meditated and practiced all night, and finally recovered his spirit.

Since returning from the Mirror Flower World, Tang Ao has been deeply impressed by two successive fighting methods, whether it is Wang Yuan's realm and the transformation of the Five Thunder Spell Imperial Weapon, or the tacit cooperation and superior qualifications of Wang Shaoye's cousins, Tang Ao's winning is dangerous and dangerous, and the slightest mistake has already turned into dry bones, fully exposing Tang Ao's shortcomings and shortcomings.

Tang Ao's cultivation time is still short, he has little experience in fighting methods, and he has no treasures and means to press the bottom of the box, he can win once or twice with luck and special physique, and in the long run, who can guarantee that good luck is on his side.

Thinking of this, Tang Ao took out the Tianshu Greedy Wolf Seal and the silver Moro Knife, and made up his mind to refine these two treasures as soon as possible, and then go to that Xiongguan to investigate after improving his actual combat ability.

Tang Ao took a leave of absence for three days, and Li Jingye readily agreed, because there was news from Duliang Mountain that Wei Chizhao and Xue Chang had gathered and reorganized the defeated soldiers of the fugitives, and the original 20,000 horses, excluding the loss of more than 8,000 people, now the strength has reached 50,000.

There are 30,000 more horses out of thin air, and the morale of the Yangzhou army has been significantly improved, as the first meritorious Tang Ao, if he wants to take a leave of absence, how can Li Jingye not allow it!

In the small courtyard, with the door and window closed, Tang Ao sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at several objects in front of him, and fell into a dilemma.

In addition to the seal magic weapon and the Moro knife, there were several trophies placed in front of Tang Ao.

There are two main ways to sacrifice other people's treasures for their own use, namely heart sacrifice and blood sacrifice, the heart sacrifice is time-consuming and laborious, but after the sacrifice is completed, the treasure is like an arm, and the effect of the original owner of the treasure is almost the same.

The blood sacrifice is a quick method, and the sacrifice can be completed in three or two days, but not to mention the damage to the treasure, it will also affect the power of the treasure.

Tang Ao first excluded the magic weapon of the seal, first of all, the Tianshu greedy wolf seal is a magic weapon rather than a magic weapon, the two methods of sacrifice and refining that Tang Ao knows may not be able to work on the magic weapon, and secondly, the magic weapon of the seal is amazing, if the sacrifice fails, it is definitely a violent act to destroy the heavens.

Tang Ao's gaze fell on the Moro Dao and other magic weapons of the Maoshan Sect, and finally decided to sacrifice the Moro Dao with blood.

First, although the Moro Knife is not a magic weapon, judging from the attitude and reaction of Wang Yuan's father and son to the Moro Knife, the power of this knife must be far above that of ordinary magic weapons, and secondly, Tang Ao feels that he has an eye for the Moro Knife, and he is eager to use the Moro Knife in his heart.

Thinking of this, Tang Ao no longer hesitated, picked up the Moro Knife and fixed it in mid-air, bit the tip of his tongue and spewed out a mouthful of essence blood, turning into a blood mist to envelop the Moro Knife, and according to the blood sacrifice method taught by Duo Jiu Gong, he left his own imprint on the Moro Knife through the essence blood.

As if refining stone into iron and forging into steel, Tang Ao's essence blood wrapped the Moro knife, the silver knife trembled, and under the erosion of Tang Ao's essence blood, there were bursts of abnormal sounds, and with the shrinking of the blood mist, a mark connected to Tang Ao's mind appeared on the knife body of the Moro knife.

Tang Ao used the blood refining method for the first time, and in order to ensure a success, he spurted out a second mouthful of essence blood.

Two mouthfuls of essence blood spurted out, Tang Ao's face was extremely pale, but seeing that the mark that belonged to him on Moro Dao's body was becoming clearer and clearer, Tang Ao's face couldn't help but show joy.

Whenever there was calm in a major event, Tang Ao instantly suppressed the joy in his heart, and while continuously playing against the blood mist and the Moro knife, he ran the Dao Sutra Taisu Gong, and gradually entered a state of forgetting about things and me.

I don't know how long time has passed, when the piercing sound of a sharp blade coming out of the sheath woke Tang Ao up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the mist made of essence and blood had disappeared, and the Moro knife was like a small silver fish circling around Tang Ao, and the aura emitted by the knife was the same as Tang Ao himself, indicating that the blood sacrifice was successful.

Tang Ao sighed lightly, pinched the knife and put it away, and couldn't wait to find a place to test the power of this knife, Tang Ao, who pushed the door out, saw the sunset outside the door like blood, Luo Bingwang held a scroll in his hand, and fell asleep by the door.

"Brother Luo......" Tang Ao called King Luo Bin softly.

Luo Binwang's body trembled, and when he opened his eyes and saw Tang Ao, he hurriedly got up and said, "Brother Xian, are you sick?" Why didn't you go out for four days in a row? Is it because the weird male is worried and worried? Do you want to find a Langzhong to have a look? ”

Tang Ao didn't expect that this blood sacrifice Moro Dao would take four days, and after listening to King Luo Bin's words, his heart warmed and said: "It's wrong to let Brother Luo worry about the younger brother, but I feel tired, and I don't want to sleep for three or four days, and it's really a sin to make my brother worry and be afraid." ”

"Brother Xian is fine." Luo Bingwang put down the scroll in his hand and explained: "About that Xiongguan, the virtuous brother does not have to worry, the British Duke has issued a recruitment list, looking for strange people to enter it to find out, if there is really no way out, then turn south and go straight to Jinling, it is just a strategy to go south, Wei Siwen and others disagree very much." ”

Tang Ao nodded, the road to Jinling in the south, Tang Ao did not approve, the purpose of everyone raising troops in Yangzhou was to restore Emperor Li Xian's throne.

Going north to Luoyang is the policy of Dingding, if you go south, you will lose the righteousness of the world, the Shandong scholars who originally had the heart to belong to will definitely be disappointed, so the move to the south is equivalent to cutting off the arm, which is not taken by the wise.

Tang Ao knew that there was no shortage of cultivators in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jingye's promulgation of the recruitment list was also a way to solve the difficulties, but Tang Ao still wanted to explore the road first, touch the reality of the Xiongguan, and after chatting with King Luo Bin for half an hour, Tang Ao came to the canyon a few miles away from the Xiongguan alone, ready to try the power of the Moro knife here first.

A piece of mana was injected into the Moro Knife, and the Moro Knife was strong in the wind, instantly turning into a three-foot blade, shining with silver light.

Tang Ao snorted lightly, the Moro knife swished like a sharp arrow, but it was as flexible as an arm, and it was gently wound around an ancient tree ten zhang away, and when the Moro knife returned to Tang Ao's hand, the ancient tree that the three of them hugged creaked and fell to the ground, and the sound of branches and leaves breaking was sparse, and then looked at the fracture, which was as smooth as a knife cutting tofu.

Tang Ao nodded secretly, and sacrificed the Moro knife again, with words in his mouth, his hands changed decisively, only to see the Moro knife tremble above Tang Ao's head.

Tang Ao immediately stretched out his unicorn arm, grasped the handle of the knife, and the mana was violently poured into the Moro knife, only to hear the sound of the knife, as Tang Ao slashed forward, the Moro knife conjured nine illusory knife shadows, and entered the stone wall of the canyon in unison.

"Why didn't you move? Could it be that this trick has its appearance? As soon as the doubts in Tang Ao's heart came out, he saw the stone wall of the canyon crackling, and nine deep ravines appeared on the stone wall.

Large chunks of rocks disintegrated and rolled down, as if the entire stone wall was about to collapse, the frightened Tang Ao hurriedly retreated, his mouth was powerful, and he suddenly fell in love with the Moro knife, this knife really had a fate with him!

For the time being, Tang Ao can only exert the two powers of the Moro Knife, the Aura Imperial Weapon and the Nine Shadows Sword Strength, the power and the Qilin Arm have their own advantages and disadvantages, combined with them, Tang Ao is confident that among the cultivators in the Qi refining period, he should be among the best.

As for killing Wang Yuan in the foundation building period before, that was a special case, if Wang Yuan hadn't used the Five Thunder Spell at that time to help Tang Ao open up the meridians and acupoints of his left arm, and directly attack Tang Ao with the transformation of the weapon, Tang Ao would have been dead for a long time.

Tang Ao put away the Moro knife, turned his head to look at the Xiongguan Giant City that seemed to be the Prime of Optimus in the night, hesitated slightly, raised his legs and walked towards Xiongguan.

On the way, I met a few Yangzhou soldiers who were looking at the giant city, but there were no people within three miles outside Xiongguan, not to mention people, there was not a single worm, it was very abnormal, and Tang Ao secretly said in his heart that there was really something strange.

Tang Ao, who was on guard, stood outside the open gate, staring at the city gate, only to see a plaque carved on the city gate, with three big characters carved on it with a small seal, North Luguan.

Tang Ao was familiar with the scriptures and history, but he had never heard of the place name Beiluguan in the world.

Tang Ao stood outside the gate of Beiluguan, hesitated again and again and saw nothing unusual in the city, and walked into Beiluguan with courage.

The city was quiet, Tang Ao could only hear his footsteps, and he didn't see anyone after walking for more than 100 zhang, as if the entire Beiluguan was an empty city.

Even if it is an empty city, what about the Yangzhou army that entered Beiluguan before? Where did it go? Tang Ao had all kinds of doubts in his heart, holding a talisman in his left hand and a Moro knife in his right hand, becoming more and more cautious.

Tang Ao crossed the city gate hole, and suddenly opened up in front of him, the ground was paved with white marble bricks and stones, and every household carved railings and painted walls, except for no one, as if the sky was beautiful, but the more so, the more it gave Tang Ao a heavy sense of depression.

The back of Tang Ao's neck suddenly cooled, and the hairs stood up in an instant, even if there were no eyes behind his head, Tang Ao could feel that there seemed to be something behind him, clinging to him tightly.

Such a strange feeling made Tang Ao hold his breath, his body jerked forward, and the talisman in his left hand waved behind him, inspiring more than a dozen Xuan Ice Picks to shoot out, Tang Ao turned around at the same time, and couldn't help but shiver.

A corpse stood where Tang Ao had just stood, the corpse was really only half, and half of the head was flowing with red and white blood and brains.

One eyeball drooped on the blurred face, the internal organs were dragged to the ground, and more than a dozen ice picks left blood holes on the corpse, but they couldn't stop the footsteps of the corpse, and one of the legs of the corpse jumped on the ground, and hit Tang Ao directly.
