The sound of footsteps was loud, and it seemed empty and monotonous in the corridor.

The deep thunder in the sky reached the ground, and it seemed insignificant, but if you listened carefully, you could detect the sound of water flowing all around.

Xiao Buyi intuitively understood that he had now gone deep into the bottom of the island in the lake, which was really a strange feeling, mysterious and somewhat frightening. It took him almost no trouble to find this place, although the boat lady described this place as hell, and it seemed that all the wicked people were concentrated here, but until now, not to mention the wicked, not even a ghost shadow could be seen.

The road is wide, and an oil lamp is lit every few zhang, Xiao Buyi looked at the oil lamp, but he was a little shocked by the scale here.

The bluestone road, the walls on both sides are also paved with huge bluestone, thick and simple, and there is a hidden ancient meaning. The corridor is about a foot wide, and although it is underground, it is as wide as walking on the street, and I don't feel depressed.

It's just that the oil lamp is in a trance, and the shadows reflected are also erratic, coupled with the faint thunder and water sounds from the walls of the corridor, as if the ghosts of hell are whimpering and crying, which makes people feel frightened.

Xiao Buyi's expression was not timid, but he was dignified.

Reaching into his arms, he took out a piece of steel plate, looked at it carefully for a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Buyi's mouth, the lines engraved on the steel plate were very complex, but it was the Tibetan armor diagram he took out from the turtle shell.

There are four turtle shells, all say that you can get the three books of heaven, earth and man when you collect four pieces, the underground road in the island seems to coincide with the terrain on the Tibetan armor map, when I saw the twists and turns, I only thought that it was like a treasure map, and the terrain of Yangzhou was drawn, where did I think that it was secretly consistent with the terrain here.

Could it be that this is the place where the Tibetan armor map alludes to? If this is really the case, this is Tibetan armor, or can you get the three books of heaven, earth and man directly, Xiao Buyi does not know.

Thinking that Taiping Road has gone through 400 years, it is still prosperous, and it is rare to have a strong surname. Xiao Buyi may not agree with the approach of some people in Taiping Dao, but he admires the persistence of Taiping Dao very much, whether it is the scale of the treasure or the armor, it requires the efforts of many people.

At the end of the road, there is no way out. The front and sides were paved with bluestone, condensed together, and it looked like he had reached a dead end.

Xiao Buyi stood at the end of the corridor, frowning and pondering, according to the Tibetan armor map, entering from here should be the marked Tibetan armor, is the map wrong, or is there a mystery he didn't find?

Thinking of how good the ancients were to do secret passages, even if Gao Junya and the like had secret passages, Xiao Buyi stepped forward slowly, stretched out his hand and knocked on the opposite wall a few times.

There was a sudden sound on the wall, and it was empty behind the wall!

Without waiting for Xiao Buyi to react again, the bluestone wall had been silently sliced open, flashing into the wall on one side, and suddenly a golden dragon pounced in front of him, the speed was extremely fast, and Xiao Buyi's eyesight was sharp and amazing, but he couldn't see the movement clearly, but there was a shadow of this dragon in his mind, although it was too late to dodge, Xiao Buyi involuntarily took a step back.

But although he retreated quickly, the dragon had already pounced on him, Xiao Buyi felt a bang in his mind, and he could only lift his qi to protect his body, never thinking that there was really a dragon in the world.

The golden dragon pounced on his body, and suddenly turned into a golden light, scattering in all directions, the light and shadow were vertical and horizontal, dazzling, and the front was already a golden avenue, suddenly brightened, as if the bluestone wall had never been blocked, Xiao Buyi's eyes turned from the wall, looking ahead.

The scene in front of him was resplendent and brilliant, ten thousand rays of light, a person sitting on a high platform, like a dragon and a tiger, his body was caged under a golden halo, exuding a faint golden light, and he said softly: "Tianji, you are finally here!" ”

**

Xiao Buyi stayed in front of the road for a long time, and it was still difficult to recover from the scene in front of him.

He knew that he had gone a lot underground, but he didn't expect that there was such a magnificent structure underneath.

His eyes are like a palace, compared to the palace where Yang Guang lives, looking forward from the road, first of all, there are five floors of high platforms, each of which has nine steps, and each step is polished with white jade, and the black stone is edging, simple but solemn.

There is a gorgeous dragon chair on the high platform, and the double dragons on both sides of the dragon chair are entrenched, and the golden light is shining. Gold is extremely expensive, and the two long dragons here are made of gold, if you talk about luxury, you really don't let Yang Guang's dragon chair.

The hall is surrounded by not bluestone walls, but set up a large bronze mirror screen, if it is just a copper mirror screen, it will not make Xiao Buyi so surprised, from Xiao Buyi's point of view, the left and right sides of the hall and the front are inlaid with large bronze mirrors, the fire in the hall is blazing, the bronze mirror is reversed, the golden dragon shines, this shines brightly.

Xiao Buyi understood in an instant, and the golden light projected on him just now was the light and shadow of the two dragons intersecting on the bronze mirror, forming a realistic golden dragon, which rushed to his body through the refraction of the bronze mirror.

Thinking of this, Xiao Buyi was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that the ancients actually had such an ingenious and magnificent design, which is breathtaking.

White jade, black stone, bronze mirror, golden dragon plus the glow of ten thousand ways, constitute a blurry scene, the light between the bronze mirrors is colorful vertical and horizontal, the main hall is in a blurred trance in an instant, making people feel like falling into the magic realm.

Xiao Buyi was somewhat shocked by the exquisiteness of the design in front of him, and forgot to answer the other party's question for a while.

"Tianji, are you afraid?" The man said again.

His voice was low, coupled with the gorgeous and extremely strange atmosphere around him, the light was vertical and horizontal, and the faint golden light on his body, if his consciousness was poor, most of them would be controlled by his tone, and he had the idea of bowing and worshipping.

The man was dressed in a magnificent costume, standing on a high position, guarded by a double dragon, and wearing a golden mask on his face, which made people even more awe-inspiring.

"Who is the Heavenly Machine? What am I afraid of? Who are you? Xiao Buyi asked three questions, and finally walked slowly to the hall, looked at the bronze mirror wall opposite, and found that the wall behind him closed silently, and this side of the wall was also a bronze mirror.

The whole hall is integrated, there are bronze mirrors shining everywhere, and the figures in the mirrors are intertwined, making people look at the past suddenly, full of surprise, but then look at the past carefully, only feel dizzy and dizzy.

Xiao Buyi was secretly frightened, knowing that this was probably also a method to confuse the mind, he forcibly restrained his body and mind, and secretly used the meditation method passed on by the bearded guest, and after a while, the dizziness gradually disappeared.

Although the four walls of the palace are bronze mirrors, the design is extremely ingenious, in addition to the light at the entrance of the Yongdao Road, although the light elsewhere is brilliant, it is also peaceful, Xiao Buyi secretly said in his heart, the Taiping Dao is powerful, although it has always been secretly operated, but just look at this golden dragon bronze mirror, even if it is a great wealth, I don't know how to get it.

He said that Nuoda's wealth was not false at all, just because even if these bronze mirrors were melted and used to mint money, they were still huge wealth.

The person on the high platform sighed lightly, "Xiao Buyi, so far, you and I know it. If you weren't a heavenly machine, how would we build momentum for you, if you weren't a heavenly machine, how could you reach the peak in just two years, if you weren't a heavenly machine, you wouldn't have come here today. ”

Xiao Buyi frowned and looked at the person on the high platform, "Who are you?" ”

The man smiled, "Heaven and earth, I am the only one, with your cleverness, of course you should know that I am the supreme king of the Taiping Dao!" ”

**

When the man said that he was the supreme king, the hall burst into flames, and the sky shone with golden light. A curtain of water suddenly appeared between Xiao Buyi and the Supreme King, hazy with light.

The water curtain erupted, and there were faint green dragons, white tigers, vermilion birds, turtles and snakes staggered in the air, and the gorgeous could not be seen.

In the middle of the water curtain is written eight big characters, heaven and earth, only I am respected.

Xiao Buyi took a breath, and a term suddenly appeared in his mind, water curtain movie.

This feeling is really a bit funny, and the solemn and solemn scene does not shock much in his mind.

Water screen films were not uncommon in his time, in which water was sprayed at high speed, atomized to form a screen, and then a special video was projected onto the water screen to create an ethereal and shocking effect.

Compared with that era, this kind of water curtain image is of course much simpler now, but if you don't know why, you are horrified and don't know where you are.

Xiao Buyi looked at the scene on the water curtain, and was not surprised, and said lightly: "Supreme King, since you and I both know it, you really don't need these scenes to strengthen my thoughts. ”

The Supreme King's eyes flickered, but with a wave of his hand, all the illusions disappeared suddenly, and the words on the water curtain were erased, but the water curtain still stood in the middle of the two. The Supreme King had been paying close attention to Xiao Buyi's expression, and said in a deep voice: "If you weren't a heavenly machine, how could you not be shocked when you saw such a supernatural phenomenon?" ”

Xiao Buyi's heart moved, and he frowned: "It turns out that you deliberately led me here?" ”

The Supreme King said softly, "It's not that I lead you, but that you will come sooner or later." ”

"What are you waiting for me here?" Xiao Buyi asked again.

There was too much meaning in the Supreme King's eyes, "I waited for you just because I should have waited for you, and told you how to do it?" ”

"Why should I listen to you!" Xiao Buyi said coldly.

"I am the supreme king of Taiping Dao, you are the heavenly machine of Taiping Dao, this is fate." The Supreme King shook his head and sighed: "Fate is destined, no one can get rid of it, you are not obeying me, but obeying fate." ”

"Fate?" Xiao Buyi muttered, "Then how should I do it?" ”

He said slightly, but the Supreme King heard it clearly, his arm moved slightly, and a row of words appeared on the water curtain, "This is written in the Book of Heaven, of course you can understand it." ”

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "You leaked the secret of heaven, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?" ”

The Supreme King said lightly: "All the fates of the world are predestined in the three books of heaven, earth and man. Since you are a heavenly machine, how can you leak the heavenly machine? It's not that I don't believe in you at the moment, but that you are a heavenly machine, your heart is higher than the sky, and you are at the peak, and you don't know the crisis, so you don't believe that I am the supreme king. ”

Xiao Buyi stared at the row of words on the water curtain, and read for a long time: "In the first year of Taiping, Yang Guang died, the supreme king was called the emperor, the fourth year of Taiping, the unification of the north and south of China, the seventh year of Taiping, the general Xiao Buyi under my account pacified the Turks, and in the ninth year of Taiping, he led a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses to level Liaodong and capture the king of Goryeo alive. ”

The fonts on the water curtain are all the words of Xiao Buyi's era!

He only realized this when he finished reading it, and his face changed color slightly.

The Supreme King's face was covered under a golden mask, which made people unable to see through his mind, but a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he sighed softly.

His sigh was very light and light, but after the sigh, the golden hall became a little cold, a little dark, and even a little, gorgeous and helpless when the sun set!

**

Wei Chigong can't think of the inheritance of the world, and he is now working hard to see the sun of tomorrow.

All the king's hegemony and ideals have been left behind, his single knife has been broken, his clothes are stained with blood, and there are no less than ten wounds on his body!

He knew he wouldn't last long! He wasn't such a stubborn man!

The holy decree had nothing to do with him, as long as he stayed out of the matter like a group of partial generals and lieutenants, he didn't have to fight so hard. If he gets Yang Yichen's respect, he may have a better future.

But he couldn't stay out of it, because he was Wei Chigong, and he knew that if he didn't make a move at the moment, even if he lived to seventy or eighty, he would be sorry in his heart!

'Dangdang' A few sounds, Yu Chigong had already used the broken knife to slash several spears that had been stabbed, and easily cut down a guard, a trace of blood mixed with raindrops and sweat flew into the sky, and was washed away by the heavy rain in an instant.

He shouted and rushed forward a few steps, but several spears pierced behind him, and the wind was fierce.

Wei Chigong slashed with his backhand, breaking three spears in a row, his arm was sore, he dodged and twisted sharply, and the remaining two spears were shot away, and one shot was pierced under his ribs, and blood burst out. Wei Chigong didn't have time to look at the wound, grabbed the gun with his backhand, flew out with a single knife, stabbed his soldier and turned over and fell, and cut off his head with a knife!

Chaotic battles and masters against the enemy are completely different, masters against the enemy, there are always traces to follow, you come and go, with experience and strength to decide the victory, but in the chaos of the battle, the guards surrounded by the inner three layers, the outer three layers, out of the gun and machete are scattered, so that people can parry up without a trace, but also tired of running.

The guards may not need to be too strong, or even need to be clever in their moves, but as long as they are shocked by the successive Lieutenant Chi Gong, even if he has great ability, he will always have the moment when his strength is exhausted.

The front is only a few zhang away from the city gate, but Qin Shubao has a spear in his hand, sitting there, jumping over the city wall and escaping for his life is no different from a moat for Wei Chigong.

He had no way to retreat, and Yang Yichen behind him actually didn't make a move, which made Wei Chigong feel cold.

Wei Chigong broke his spear and beheaded people, but in an instant, the decapitated soldiers did not wait to fall, and more than a dozen soldiers filled in, and seven or eight spears stabbed over.

Suddenly, there was a shout behind him, "Wei Chi Jingde looks at the gun." ”

When the gun arrived, the wind of the spear shook the raindrops, making the wind and clouds change color, and Qin Shubao finally made a move!

In an instant, Wei Chigong suffered from the enemy on his back and could not escape.

Wei Chigong didn't have time to turn around, but he grabbed it with his left hand and shouted, "What a Qin Shubao!" ”

Stretching out his hand, Yu Chigong had already grabbed three spears in his hand, Huo Ran turned around, and he didn't care if he was stabbed by several spears in his back. When Wei Chigong turned around, he waved his arms vigorously, and three spears roared out!

Qin Shubao's spear can stab Lieutenant Chi Gong's chest, and the blood on Yu Chi Gong's chest blooms! It's just that Wei Chigong's move is already a jade burn, abandoning himself, Qin Shubao's face changed drastically, he didn't have time to exert himself, he drew his gun and turned over and retreated, and he had already reached the city wall.

Wei Chi Gong came out with a spear, followed the spear, exerted the strength of his whole body, jumped high, flew over the heads of all the soldiers, and Qin Shubao had already reached the top of the wall. Qin Shubao still had time to rush to stab, Wei Chigong stretched out his hand and grabbed it, grabbed the stabbing gun, and stabbed the spear in his hand, straight to Qin Shubao's heart. Qin Shubao broke off the shout, refused to give up the gun, waved his arm hard, and threw Yu Chigong off the wall!

Wei Chigong was slightly happy in his heart, secretly thinking that although the wall was high, he had a spear in his hand, and when he could block it, he would go out of Xiapi City, and there would be no restraint in the future.

He was overjoyed, but he fell into the infinite darkness in an instant, because he realized that the net of heaven and earth was not only in the tower, but also outside the city.

Outside the city, I don't know when, they have long been densely packed, and this time they are not full of spears in their hands, but a boundless net!

Wei Chigong fell quickly, holding a spear in his hand, but there was nothing he could do. The moment he fell into the layers of fishing nets, Wei Chigong thought of the big fish caught by the fisherman, but he still did not break through Yang Yichen's net, or rather, he did not kill the net carefully laid by Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xutuo's calculations can be said to be seamless.

The soldiers' footsteps are staggered, and they have wrapped Yu Chi Gong layer by layer, so that he can't struggle, Wei Chi Gong gave up struggling, and thought to himself, Zhang Xutuo's three generals, now Qin Shubao is here, but Yang Yichen assists, and he is incapable of escaping. Zhang Xutuo personally went out on the horse, and there are Luo Shixin, Cheng Biting Jin's helpers, even if Brother Xiao is stronger than his own martial arts, but he is even more dangerous, but I don't know how Brother Xiao is now?

Xiao Buyi is a heavenly machine, is he really a heavenly machine? But even if it is a heavenly machine, what can it be, Zhang Xutuo will make a move, and no one will have a chance, including Tianji!

The head of the city put down the hook and hung Wei Chigong, who had become a bloody man in the net, to the head of the city, and he even had two long arrows on his body that could not be pulled out.

The soldiers at the head of the city looked down, with pity, sorrow, and respect in their eyes, but the only thing they did was hatred, even if Wei Chigong was the enemy of everyone.

Wei Chigong was in the net, feeling like he was in the clouds, flickering upward, and saw Yang Yichen's face.

Yang Yichen's face was not too excited, gloomy as a dark cloud on the horizon, and he suddenly asked, "Wei Chigong, have you ever regretted it?" ”

Wei Chigong's gaze swept over Yang Yichen, looked at the dark sky, and muttered, "Regret? I do not know! But I know that there are some things, you know the ending, but you will still do it! Yang Yichen, if everything were to be done all over again, Wei Chigong would still choose this path! ”

The rain stopped but the clouds still gathered, and the black pressure seemed to be pressed on everyone's hearts, Yang Yichen's face was also gloomy, he slowly straightened up, and said with difficulty: "Wei Chigong and Xiao Buyi are in the same stream, committing chaos, resisting arrest and being arrested, and the market will be beheaded three days later, in order to set an example!" ”

"Three days later?" Wei Chigong grinned, feeling that there were eyes looking at him, he reluctantly turned his head to look over, and saw that although Qin Shubao was holding the spear tightly, he was hanging his head, the rain slid down his cheeks, and the blood was dripping from the spear!

No one can see Qin Shubao's thoughts, maybe including himself!

**

"There are some things, you know the ending, you must do it, this is the heavenly machine!"

The Supreme King stood tall and stared at Xiao Buyi, "Xiao Buyi, you are a heavenly machine, you know the words of the Book of Heaven, since you know the ending, just follow the trend." Wang Tu hegemony, you are in control! ”

Xiao Buyi's face showed doubt, "There are only these words in the Book of Heaven?" ”

The Supreme King muttered, "Of course, it's not just that, different people see it differently. Since you are a heavenly machine, you should know your fate, now you only need to join forces with me, with the ability of Taiping Dao, with my appeal, with General Xiao's brave crown of the three armies, you and I join forces, conform to the will of the people, and hold high the banner of righteousness, why worry about the big thing? ”

Xiao Buyi sighed and said, "Why is your Heavenly Book different from what I know?" ”

The Supreme King was silent for a long time, "What do you know?" ”

"The heavenly machine I know is that Xiao Buyi will behead you, the supreme king!" Xiao Buyi said lightly.

The Supreme King was not surprised, and stared at Xiao Buyi on the high platform for a long time, "Do you want to go against the sky?" ”

Xiao Buyi stretched out his hand and pressed the handle of the knife, "If I am the sky according to what you said, where did I come from against the sky?" ”

The Supreme King laughed loudly and said: "What a Xiao Buyi, proud and ambitious, I will not lose the first general under my account in the future." Today, I don't blame you for your wild words, you can rest assured, I know that people are good at their jobs, and I know General Xiao's great talent, and I am definitely not dissatisfied because of your confrontation and conflict, and abandon the general. ”

"But all I saw was your bloody slaughter," Xiao Buyi said indifferently, "and unscrupulous means of doing things." As for what kind of people are good at their jobs, I haven't seen them at all. ”

The Supreme King sighed and said: "General Xiao's words are wrong, those who do great things are not informal, there are people in this world who seek fame, some people seek profit, some people kill people, and some people are born to be killed. Some people are eloquent and strategic, and some people are inactive, but they are not as good as pigs and dogs. Since pigs and dogs are inferior, what is the difference between killing and not killing? If you can exchange these mediocre people for a thousand years of great things, what is the fault? ”

Xiao Buyi laughed, "I sound like your statement is similar to that of a robber, is it reasonable for a robber to rob and kill?" ”

The Supreme King said lightly: "General Xiao, you really shouldn't talk like this, it seems that I still think highly of you." You led the troops to defeat Lishanfei and led the army to eradicate Wagang, although you call yourself righteous, but the people who died in the two battles are not necessarily less than the ones I slaughtered. Are they all capital offenses, am they not? So I can only say that all the great achievements in the world need to be piled up with dry bones, and you and I are no exception! ”

Xiao Buyi no longer refuted, and was silent for a long time before saying: "If it is recorded in the Book of Heaven, what are you and I going to do together?" ”

The Supreme King's eyes flashed, "As recorded in the Book of Heaven, you and I will join forces today, I will take you as the general, order Huaibei, gather more than 100,000 people to the north to occupy Wagang, conquer Xingyang, wave troops to the west, and take the eastern capital!" But there is a problem here, that is, Zhang Xutuo is brave and invincible, and we must first design to get rid of him! Otherwise, with him in the Great Sui, although our great cause will succeed, we will suffer heavy losses. ”

"Will Zhang Xutuo also die?" Xiao Buyi's eyes also flashed.

The Supreme King said: "Who does not die?" Although Zhang Xutuo is brave and invincible, as long as he plans carefully, with General Xiao's martial arts, it is not difficult to eradicate him. ”

"But I've never met Zhang Xutuo." Xiao Buyi frowned.

"What's so hard about that?" The Supreme King smiled and said: "I am here, although it is difficult to see Zhang Xutuo himself, it is not difficult to see Zhang Xutuo's portrait." ”

As soon as he spoke, his arm pressed lightly, and the golden dragon beside him twisted, as if he was alive, and each shot out of his mouth, which converged and shot onto the bronze mirror on the wall behind Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi turned his head to look over and found that under the halo, a person was holding a giant bow in a bronze mirror, standing in armor, mighty and majestic. The figure of the man was similar to that of a real person, but his face was a little hazy.

"He's Zhang Xutuo?" Xiao Buyi frowned and said: "It's still a little vague, the Supreme King is really extraordinary, but can you let me see it more clearly." ”

"Just take a closer look." The Supreme King said lightly.

Xiao Buyi couldn't help but take a few steps forward, and suddenly saw a bright light shooting out from the opposite side, rushing towards him, making people unable to see. In an instant, a sharp sound sounded, and in the haze, I saw the person on the opposite side holding a bow and arrow, and shooting out angrily.

Xiao Buyi was too late to shout, Huo Ran fell down on his back, the angry arrow almost grazed his face and shot out, shooting on the bronze mirror behind him, with a loud 'bang', the bronze mirror behind Xiao Buyi exploded, flying all over the sky, the light drifted, thrilling.

Xiao Buyi lay on the ground, covered in cold sweat, and got up slowly, but still smiled: "Supreme King, what's going on?" ”

Seeing that the Supreme King was silent, the man in the bronze mirror stood with his bow in his hand, Xiao Buyi sighed lightly, "I have been thinking about how I will meet General Zhang, but I never thought that I would meet in this way." General Zhang, what did Xiao Buyi do wrong, and he wanted you to chase and kill for thousands of miles, and the sky and the earth were netted? ”

The light faded, and the face of the person in the bronze mirror had become clear, although he was dressed in armor and was mighty and majestic, he was sad and worried, and his face was old, and he was the old man who gave Xiao Buyi a map!

(To be continued)
