71. Lin'an
Outside Yanjing City, in the post station, the two brothers of the Zhang family were quarreling.
It's basically Zhang Lan shouting.
Zhang Chu didn't say a word.
The relationship between these two brothers is very tangled, if it is placed in normal times, Zhang Lan would like to kill Zhang Chu with one finger.
But at this juncture, it's different.
"I led the army to attack Lin'an and destroy the southern country, it won't hurt Shen Qiu or you and others."
Zhang Chu played with the teacup and said softly:
"Aren't you going to fight against Penglai?
When I clean up the rivers and mountains and let the world be unified, I will raise a large army and attack Dongying. β
Zhang Chu seemed to know more than Zhang Lan imagined.
He said:
"When I chatted with that old ghost in Hongchen before, I learned from him that most of the aura of Penglai Immortal Mountain was obtained from Dongying.
As long as that country is destroyed, and you are waiting to disrupt Penglai's arrangement in Middle-earth, there is no aura, how can those so-called immortals be the opponents of our generation of warriors? β
Zhang Chu raised his head and looked at the angry Zhang Lan, and said:
"Or do you hate me, and you already hate me to the point that you'd rather win than accept my help?"
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhang Lan pursed her lips.
He said:
"I have been deceived by you since I was a child, if I still believe in your mouth now, then I am really an unwise person!
You have a good mouth, who knows what you will do after you dominate the world? β
"Brother, what you say is very obvious."
Zhang Chu put down the teacup and his posture was pleasant.
He said:
"What I'm going to do, don't you know?"
"I really don't know."
Zhang Lan hugged the cat and said indifferently:
"At the beginning, in Suzhou, you wanted to revive the prestige of the Demon Sect, and then in Luoyang, you joined forces again and brought up the five sects of the Demon Sect and mixed with the northern country.
Later, in Jinling, you took away the old ghost of Hongchen, and at that time I thought you had lost your mind and gone crazy!
What happened later made me feel a little relieved that you still haven't forgotten your father's advice and teaching.
But I really don't know what you want to do now.
When you become the national teacher of the Northern Kingdom, it seems that you have inherited the mantle of happiness, and you are bent on destroying the Southern Dynasty, but you are happy for the sake of the belief in witchcraft.
Zhang Chu, what are you for?
Do you really want to sit on the supreme dragon chair in the world? β
After Zhang Lan's words were finished, Zhang Chu let out a chuckle.
He took a moment to lift the teapot and pour his brother a cup of tea.
Say:
"When I was in Suzhou, I was young and frivolous, thinking that the world was easy, but I was slapped in the face.
When I was in Luoyang, I grew up a little bit, and I knew that it was easier said than done, and I already knew that the goal was more rational, but I failed again.
As for Jinling, I found that the situation was beyond my control, and the collapse of the Demon Sect made me see the reality clearly again, and that failure also allowed me to regain my original intention.
Xiaolan, you ask me what I want to do, and I also have a question for you. β
He looked at Zhang Lan.
Say:
"Do you remember when I was a child, my father was still there, what did he want to do?"
How can Zhang Lan forget such things?
Without thinking, he said:
"My father hated the distinction between good and evil in the world, and brought the Demon Sect into the Central Plains in order to dominate the rivers and lakes.
Completely eliminate the estrangement of martial artists, at that time, he already knew about the Penglai conspiracy, so he wanted to unite the strength of the world's martial artists to take precautions.
But his father failed, was forced to be leveled by Chunyangzi, and was led by Ren Hao to fight in a bloody battle with the righteous path, blocking the Demon Sect in Luoyang City, and after that, his mother was seriously ill, and his father no longer paid attention to those things. β
"Yes, that's what my father wanted to do, but he couldn't finish."
Zhang Chu closed his eyes and leaned back on the wooden chair.
He said:
"That's what I'm going to do, I'm going to finish, what my father is not done.
After dominating the world, we must fight Penglai, and then abolish the martial arts of the world, and destroy the source of this disaster, you see, Xiaolan, you and I have the same goal at least the first half.
In the past, I was too frivolous, but now I can accept cooperation and conspire to great things. β
He picked up his teacup, drank a glass of water, and moistened his thirsty throat.
He said:
"Xiao Lan, bring a message to Shen Qiu for me, the grievances between us can be talked about later, Penglai is our common enemy."
"It's different!"
Zhang Lan shook her head.
He said:
"You and our goals are different.
We won't work with you either, and Father's ideals are not what you think.
I've seen him and I know what he's thinking. β
Zhang Lan accentuated her tone.
Say:
"With what you did at the cost of human life to fill in and win the victory, what if you really defeat Penglai? The essence of the whole world has been squandered by you.
Have you ever thought about how to face the challenges after Penglai in this world?
We really want to win!
But we can't gamble at the expense of the future to win in the present.
However, your 100,000 demon soldiers don't matter. β
Zhang Lan stroked the cat in her arms and said to Zhang Chu:
"Anyway, keeping the demon soldiers will also cause trouble to the world, it is better to let them die in Lin'an, and they can rest in peace, as for the other soldiers, don't send them to death!
And you, since you all know that you are going to die, just find someone else to go.
Why do you have to go on your own? β
When Zhang Lan said this, Zhang Chu's expression had changed.
He shook his head and stood up.
Said to Zhang Lan:
"I thought you and Shen Qiu had some high opinions, but I didn't think about it, you are still so naΓ―ve, in this world, there is no sacrifice, how can you win? If you don't raise an army, how to stop Penglai's surging momentum?
You guys are really naΓ―ve! β
"It's you who is naΓ―ve!"
Zhang Lan sneered at each other, saying:
"As we did in Taihang, Qilu, although Penglai is strong, there are only a few leaders, beheading and tailing, Penglai collapses, the way we win is not to drive others to die!
We'll go to the danger and kill the enemy chieftain, which is much more upright than you! β
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Chu laughed.
He said:
"You don't look down on my methods, saying that I drive others to death, and your way to solve the problem is to send yourself to death! It's really 'dignified'.
That's it.
You have been so deeply affected by Shen Qiu's person, I have nothing to say to you, so you can go and die.
After you've failed, I'll probably have to clean up the mess.
What left-path demons?
Hehe, what a joke.
I see that he Shen Qiu's original intention has not changed, this is obviously going to be a hero, Ren Hao is really a good heir. β
He was not afraid of angering Zhang Lan, so he said bluntly:
"Now I listen to what my brother said, I really have to go to Lin'an City, if Xiaolan you unfortunately die there, I, as an elder brother, can't bear to see you buried in the wilderness.
Naturally, I will collect the body for you with my own hands. β
Zhang Lan was so angry by Zhang Chu's words that she smoked.
He picked up the cat, and with a cold face, he strode out of the station.
He said:
"Whatever you want, good words can't save the damn ghost! If you die there, I will collect your body too. β
Zhang Chu stood at the door of the post station with his hands behind his back.
watched Zhang Lan fly away with a getaway.
In his two-color pupils, all smiles were gone.
"Brother, what are you going to do when you suddenly came here? Is it in, spying on intelligence? Or do you really care about your brother's life?
You and Shen Qiu...
What secrets are hidden? β
The other side.
Zhang Lan kept flying in the dark night.
The surrounding scenery, like smoke and dust, constantly brushes by the two sides of the eye.
The purpose of his coming to Yanjing to see Zhang Chu was indeed not simple.
At night, he looked up under the stars and soon spotted a black dot flying high in the air ahead.
That's Qingluan.
It had just flown out of the Yanjing Imperial City, and if it didn't lure Zhang Chu away, it would be impossible for this eagle to hide from the national teacher's perception no matter what.
Of course, there is another purpose besides covering the delivery of letters.
"Zhang Chu doesn't seem to know Qingqing's identity yet."
Zhang Lan thought:
"But it may also be pretended, but he has already made up his mind to go to Lin'an in person, and with Yelu Jienan in the rear to help, great things can be done!"
"Alas, this work of playing with the eyes of the heart is really not suitable for Young Master Ben."
He landed on a treetop and looked back at the night.
There was a little doubt in his eyes.
"In Young Master Ben's memory, my eldest brother is not a person who likes to drink tea."
The playboy stroked the lazy cat in his arms.
He pondered:
"But I didn't have a stick of incense, and I drank six bowls of tea in a row... Is there something wrong with his body? β
----
Thousands of miles away, in the city of Lin'an.
In the temple that has already been repaired, the fairy girl who moves the mountain is standing on the nine-story wooden building, looking at the scenery of the city in front of her, with a purple oil-paper umbrella in her hand.
On the railing on the other side, there is also a packet of dried sweet potatoes.
It's her favorite snack.
Although with the respect of the national teacher, eating this kind of thing is not very decent.
"Hongchen has been caught."
The fairy girl's face was expressionless, but her heart was surging.
She thought:
"That mortal Shen Qiu, he really has some ability, Benjun casually gave him some information about the Red Dust Immortal Method, and he was able to break the Red Dust Lead.
Although Hongchen has not practiced for thousands of years, it is inevitable that some hands will not be able to find a good container to carry the soul, and the combat power will definitely be affected.
But... Mortals in this world should not be underestimated. β
Think so.
The fairy girl held the oil-paper umbrella in her hand and patted it gently.
The dried sweet potato jumped into the air, and was swallowed into the mouth by the fairy Gu in a deep breath, like an air current.
The entire cheek is stretched out.
She chewed on her beloved snack with a little difficulty.
Eat it at the same time.
While continuing to think.
Dongling, Hongchen, have been defeated one after another, and the Xianshan side must take action, and the next one will inevitably be in Lin'an City.
At that time, the fairy girl looked for another opportunity, pretended to be invincible, and was restrained.
In this way, you can get out of Penglai safely, jump to the mortal side, and then secretly help each other, and break the spirit array of the Penglai Immortal Mountain headquarters before the ancestor completely wakes up.
Hehe.
Penglai, which has been inherited for thousands of years, will collapse with a bang.
Plan to pass!
The fairy girl's eyes bent as she smiled.
It seems that I feel the sweetness in my mouth, like the smile of a little woman when she eats honey, and she is satisfied.
The scene of the collapse of the fairy mountain.
She's been waiting for a thousand years.
As for why this fairy girl hated Penglai so much, so far, it is still a mystery, and no one knows except herself.
"Master Kuni."
On the steps of the wooden building behind him, there was a loud sound, and the Taoist priest who walked on the immortal view said very respectfully:
"There's a visitor."
"The national teacher wants to sleep for a while."
The fairy girl waved her hand casually and said with a big grin:
"Just go and meet you."
The Taoist priest pursed his lips.
Say:
"Guest, from the East China Sea."
"Huh?"
The fairy girl turned her head sharply.
East China Sea...
Isn't it Penglai?
Her expression changed, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and in the next moment, her slender body jumped down from the top of the wooden building.
The white embroidered cloth shoes are like stepping on a solid air, like Shen Qiu's dragon climbing stunt, but it is more freehand and relaxed.
The fairy girl held the purple umbrella, and walked down from the air briskly step by step.
The white skirt is flying, the ribbon is entangled, it is really like a lotus step by step, and the fairy is born.
This scene fell in the eyes of the other Taoists in the Immortal Temple, and they were all full of respect and awe.
This national teacher is amazing.
Don't practice immortal law, but take the martial arts, don't look at her as thin and weak as an ordinary woman, but many people have seen with their own eyes that the first master in Lin'an City, the presiding officer of Nirvana Temple, Yuanwu Zen Master, has been defeated by the hands of the national teacher several times.
The national teacher did not even use his sword.
Just rely on a pair of white palms to be able to harden the Buddha staff and dragon.
Its martial arts are absolutely extraordinary, and I am afraid that it is a little more powerful than the legendary first Mo Ye in the world.
The fairy girl ignored the bystanders.
With a frown, she stepped down from the air, and after taking the last step, she came to the Taoist hall.
It's a place to welcome.
"How are you?"
When the fairy girl saw the visitor, she was surprised.
Standing in front of her was the Penglai Daojun with extremely long white eyebrows and drooping old age.
Look carefully, this Daojun's right arm has been cut off, this is in Jinling, overnight, by Zhang Moxie's injury, this Daojun, almost died on the Yangtze River.
Daojun is in Penglai, with a noble status, and he is the head of a faction.
But the fairy girl is an immortal after all, and this Daojun's row of faces naturally can't be played in front of her.
I have met several times in the past, and this old Taoist gentleman has to give the young fairy girl as young as a girl, and perform the etiquette of the younger generation.
But today... No.
"Why can't I come?"
Daojun said softly.
The original impatient expression of the Mountain Moving Immortal Gu immediately stopped at this moment.
She put down the oil-paper umbrella, took a step forward, moved her sleeves lightly with both hands, and interlaced her fingers in front of her, performing the standard etiquette of the Spring and Autumn era.
The fairy girl leaned down and whispered:
"Welcome to the Ancestor!"
"That's it, don't see outside."
Old Daojun waved his hand with one arm.
He sat in his chair and looked at everything around him with a curious gaze.
And the Immortal Gu peeked at the ancestor's expression.
She asked in a low voice:
"When did the Ancestor wake up? Why don't you give us notice in advance, so that I can wait to be prepared? β
"I haven't woken up yet."
The mysterious ancestor chuckled, his voice was not old, and it was in stark contrast to the old Daojun's drooping face.
He said:
"Although the aura sent by Dongying is sufficient, I have slept for too long, and I have just woken up for three minutes at this time, and I can't sleep when I hear Dongling and Hongchen are in trouble.
Moving mountains, I came here to ask you a question, I hope you can solve my doubts. β
Old Ancestor's tone was still gentle.
But when those eyes fell on the mountain moving fairy girl, she felt that her soul was trembling.
She was afraid.
"You three..."
The ancestor picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said softly:
"What the hell is going on!"
"Boom"
The moment the teacup was placed on the table, several thunderbolts swept through the sky, and the muffled thunder resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Just for a moment.
The heavens and the earth change color, and the black clouds overwhelm the city.
Heavy rain poured down from the sky.
The whole city of Lin'an was drenched.
The thunder flashed, and the light brought up also illuminated the white and miserable face of the mountain moving fairy Gu at this moment.
Ancestor, I'm angry.
If you don't deal with it well.
Today, she's finished.
