Chapter 10: The Rise and Fall of the Sword
In the house, after a while, Ning Jiang hugged the girl who was already weak: "Your injuries are not completely healed, you have to rest early, don't make any more trouble." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"You...... You bastard! Luan Mei beat his chest angrily, this guy actually put Baotong, Red Butterfly, and Xiaolu together...... Bastards, bastards.
"Besides," Ning Jiang said with a smile, "It was true that I couldn't hold back at the beginning, but now they can't help it...... Don't believe you ask them? ”
Three heads peeked out of the window, staring at him viciously...... Who can't help it?
Things have come to this point, and Luan Mei naturally has nothing to do, and after making a fuss, she is in a better mood. It's just that I think of the disappearance of Qimeng, and my heart is still sad after all, these days, getting along in the same body, it feels like sisters of the same family, but now, in order to be able to protect her, Qimeng was forced to suffer the sword that the evil goddess swung with the golden sword, causing the soul to fly away.
Regarding the golden sword, Luan Mei told Ning Jiang that what was contained in it at that time was the power of the Holy Phoenix, which Qimeng was very sure of, so much so that although it was only the power of a sword, with Qimeng's strength, it was already impossible to take it.
Ning Jiang remembered that at that time, when the Golden Warrior of unknown origin killed the Yuan Demon Emperor with the Golden Sword, the powerful power carried by the Golden Sword, it seemed that that the sword was indeed some kind of artifact that could be endowed with great power. With the strength of the Yuan Demon Emperor, he would not be able to defeat a figure of Zongsheng-level strength holding a sword, and when this sword was in the hands of that golden general, it should contain the power of Emperor Shura.
"But who is the real evil goddess?" That night, in his arms, Luan Mei said suspiciously, "The evil goddess who appeared in front of us at that time was neither Ah Feng who we saw before, nor should it be Ciyue Fairy, but Qimeng did sense that she was the evil goddess......"
Ning Jiang gently stroked her and comforted her: "This should be some kind of out-of-body incarnation method, when 'Ah Feng' appeared in Fuxiong Valley, Fairy Ciyue was already active in the south, and there was no indication that she went to the north." In fact, I can also do the ability to manifest the spirit and incarnate outside the body, but the key is not this. Assuming that Ah Feng, Ciyue Fairy, and the woman you met this time are all evil goddesses, then theoretically, even if she has three bodies and only one self, when she uses one of the bodies, the other two can only sleep, just like I can't move myself and 'Batboy' at the same time. But in this world, there are always some things that are unpredictable, and I suspect that the evil goddess is indeed three incarnations that can move at the same time. ”
Luan Mei lowered her head and pondered, and had to admit that although it sounded incredible, she couldn't take the liberty of ruling out this possibility.

Somewhere far away in the north, even in summer, it is a snowy Yinchuan, and the Zoroastrian Venerable Brother Xiao Bodhisattva is walking in the dark underground.
Although she has a sect-level cultivation, hundreds of years of time still make her skin crawl with wrinkles, and her whole person looks old.
High up are upside-down stalactites, surrounded by moss, and in the depths of the earth, there are many unknown underground caves, and this is just one of them. The calcareous stone pillars connected to the upper and lower ends flickered with tiny fluorescence under the light of the fire.
The fire was emitted by the head of the cane in her hand, and the cane made of metal emitted a cold silver light, except at the head of the cane, it flashed with a strange bright red, as if it was a living creature that was breathing fire at any time. In fact, the depths of the earth are completely cut off from the outside, and no one knows how or why she appeared here.
Suddenly, she stopped, and a bright red feather floated with it.
At the same time, another young woman from the barbarian tribe stood on the ground a hundred miles away.
Although she is a barbarian woman, she looks quite delicate, if Ah Cai is here, she will definitely be able to recognize it, this is her friend "Ah Feng".
On Ah Feng's back, he carried a golden sword, the sword was unsheathed, and the blade was not very sharp, and the light emitted invaded the surrounding heaven and earth. The golden hilt also has a light golden blade, which is quite wide and carved with mysterious patterns. The sword blades are spread out on both sides, each inlaid with a jewel, like a parallel double sun, and in the orb, there is a powerful force circulating inside.
In the distance, there is a frozen lake, surrounded by jagged rocks, and the sun that is about to set in the southwest is as pale as a layer of paper-cuts, lonely above the Gobi.
The barbarian young woman with the golden sword on her back had a feather floating in her hand, which was also bright red as a flower. With a bang, the magic power of the demon blood physique was activated, revealing three heads and six arms, one of the hands, tapping the holy feather, the holy feather turned into flames, and then spread out with the wave of her fingers.
Six hands waved together, streaked filigree weaving a delicate web of fire around her body, resonating with another sacred feather beneath the ground in the distance. Then, she began to fall, and kept falling. The divine flame tugged at her, as if folding the space and falling straight down.
By the time she came to her senses, she was in an underground cavern.
At this time, if someone can look through the earth and rocks from a high place, they will find that the old woman with three heads and six arms and the young woman of the barbarian tribe are opposite each other, although they are separated by a hundred miles. What's even more strange is that the cave they are in is like two sides reflecting each other in a mirror, although they are in opposite directions, they are completely identical.
And as they walked forward face to face, behind them, the cave was collapsing, collapsing, as if it had collapsed into nothingness, into a mysterious space that no one could see. With the two of them as the margin, the entire depths of the earth was actually a rotating circle, and as the two of them approached, the circle began to slowly shrink.
Spectacular, but strange and inexplicable spectacle, in fact, no one else can really see, on the ground, the pale sunset has also begun to sink, the darkness is like a tide, the earth as usual, quickly frost, the ice lake reflects the light of the silver moon slowly rising to the sky, like a mirror, smooth and transparent.
Suddenly-
The old woman with the cane, and the young woman with three heads and six arms were already standing in front of a silver gate. It's almost identical, except for the opposite gate, quaint and majestic.
The old woman held the cane high, and the amazing power poured out from her old body, and above the crutches, there was a fireball like a small sun, a high-density energy, rolling with piercing flames, and mysterious spells, like a rolling void around her, spreading layer upon layer.
On the other side of the distance, the young woman also raised the golden sword in her hand, and among the orbs on both sides of the sword, there were surging firelight pouring into the sword body, and then surging upwards against the sword body in waves, and above the tip of the sword, a dazzling fireball was also formed. The woman also recited the incantation, sweeping the heavens and the earth, folding the space.
The fireballs on both sides collided with the quaint silver gate at the same time, and the powerful force rolled into it, forming ripples in the center of the gate, and the rings spread outward. The surrounding scenes seem to be upturned, like a book that was originally spread out, the old man and the young woman stand on both sides of the book, the heaven and the earth are distorted, the space is changing, the universe is reorganized, and yin and yang are exploding.
Zoroastrianism reveres dualism, and the disintegrating yin and yang qi in the center of the two people who are rapidly approaching, like bursting stars, blooming strange and brilliant sparks, sparks are like a sea of stars, triggering a deep void crack. The next moment, the two were already standing side by side, and in front of them, the majestic silver gate slowly opened inward.
Inside the gate, the longing shadow seemed to slowly wake up from the frozen glacier, and deeper, a demon general kneeling in front of the throne opened his eyes coldly.
Then there are the cracked Gobi and glacial lakes......
***
The fortified city to the west of Sibi Cave was originally the place where the Sibi Cave Pacification Division was stationed, and later fell into the hands of the Miao army, but now, it has changed hands again and is controlled by Li Hu, the son of the queen of the eagle.
The southwest side of this city, is called the throat passage of the ghost fox, the peaks around it are towering, the mountains are interconnected, although it is the necessary place to enter Shu and leave Shu from Gwangju, but because of the treacherous terrain, it is difficult for the people and horses to walk, every winter, it is heavy snow to cover the mountain.
At this time, the ice and snow of the Ghost Fox have melted, and the Huaxia Army and the Barbarian Army, in order to seize control of the Ghost Fox, are spying on each other.
In one of the mountains, Chen Tianya was leading a group of martial arts people, holding a telescope in his hand, and the picture in the distance was clearly displayed in his eyes, and on the mirror, he saw several barbarian scouts bypassing the foot of the mountain, and one of them was also holding a telescope.
"Found it!" He whispered.
The ghost fox has not been through for a long time, and the distribution of the enemy's forces is not very clear on both sides, coupled with the high mountains and dangerous roads in this area, it is difficult to march, but it is easy to ambush, and both sides dare not be careless, and send spies to spy on each other, which is naturally inevitable.
Most of the "spies" sent by the Huaxia side are martial arts people who joined the army at the call of Ning Jiang and the leader of the martial arts alliance, and their personal strength is good, but they are not very good at the formation of troops and collective battles, immediate charges, etc., and they are indeed the most suitable position for them to be released as spies to detect the enemy's reality and reality. Hunting down enemy sentinels, detecting the enemy's reality, approaching the enemy and being able to withdraw in time all require good force.
The addition of a large number of martial arts people has made the Huaxia Army have more people who can use it in this regard, and even Chen Tianya, a "fallen man" who is quite famous in the rivers and lakes, has taken the initiative to assume such a responsibility, and led a group of people to find and hunt down the spies, patrol horses, and sentries sent by the barbarian army by various means.
The application of the telescope has given the Huaxia army a lot of advantages, but the technical content of this kind of thing cannot be regarded as too high after all, and the barbarian army that occupied the Central Plains has collected a lot of talents and quickly copied it. However, on the side of the ridge, a higher quality telescope was soon delivered, and the original telescope used colored glass, which was not only expensive, but also always limited in definition.
In the past, the glass with exquisite patterns in the inside could often be sold at a better price, and now, both sides of the Chinese barbarian are rushing to make the glass with higher transparency and being considered a "low-grade goods" in the past, and even to the point that it is difficult to find on the market, and the craftsmen who know how to make the glass have also been recruited by the barbarian army in large numbers.
But now, on the side of Yueling, they have finally succeeded in developing a truly transparent and extremely low-cost "glass", and the telescope has also undergone further adjustment and improvement, and the new telescope not only sees farther, but also has a wider visual range, and it is precisely because of this that they can preemptively discover each other, so as to formulate tactics in advance.
When the other party continued to approach this side, and the telescope began to scan their position, Chen Tianya had already taken a few heroes around him, quietly changed his position, and ambushed these people on the way they had to go.
After Chen Tianya came out of the ancestral cave of Longhu Mountain, he was already a master at the grandmaster level, and now he personally led people to kill several spies of the barbarian army, and even he himself was somewhat funny. But war never depends on one or two masters, but on the different positions of each person.
If in the past, the survival and death of the Zhou Dynasty were not so concerned about them as Jianghu people, then now, everyone clearly realizes that this is not a battle between the Zhou Dynasty and the New Dynasty, but the survival of Huaxia and the barbarians.
Half an hour later, they left the place and continued to touch forward, and in the grass behind them there were several more dead bodies.
On the side of the ghost fox, at the stage when the enemy and us were still testing and containing each other, and making slow contact, Fengle County in Linghai, the lowest reaches of the Long River, was already flying with artillery fire, starting the first battle of the southern counteroffensive barbarians. A group of martial arts masters, after the suppression of the artillery fire, each rushed forward with explosives bags, followed by continuous explosions, and the city wall flew away.
The Chinese soldiers began to charge, but the enemy's firearms also began to fire, and the ballistas and rockets on the chariots flew wildly, although the range was not as good as the artillery, and they shot out suddenly, but they were also dense, not to mention that they also occupied the advantage of defense. People turned on their backs, dust rolled up, chaos on the battlefield spread sharply, and soon, the two sides formed a repeated tug-of-war around the collapsed city wall, artillery and explosives, more just attacking and deterring, what really decided the victory or defeat was still the collision of flesh and blood.
The Chinese generals who hoped to make a contribution to the resurgence of China, and the barbarians who fought to kill the enemy in order to seize more military merits and thus share more gold, silver, land, and slaves, turned up the waves of blood, rolled up the swords, and the corpses were all over the field......
