Chapter 539: Inside and Outside the City Gate
I don't know how long he slid in the dark, and when the dazzling light invaded his vision again, Zhang Shuilong couldn't help but close his eyes, but he couldn't help but fall under his feet, and he fell hard on his buttocks.
"Are you alright, Lao Zhang?" Liu Ah Da dragged Zhang Shuilong up and patted the dust on his back, and the latter quietly rubbed his sore buttocks, shook his head and said, "It's okay."
In front of him was a black city wall dozens of feet high, in the shape of a ring into the depths of the rock, the two huge gates under the city wall exuded a strong smell of rust, although the crazy attack of the desecration injured many people, but before this there were still many people successfully reached the city gate.
With the city gate as the boundary, inside and outside the city, there are two groups of people who are clearly distinguished.
"What's going on? What about the Master? Zhang Shuilong stood on tiptoe for a long time, and did not find Xun Mengqi in the crowd.
"Don't look for it, let's not go over for now." Liu Ah Da also looked into the distance and dissuaded.
Zhang Shuilong followed Liu Ada's line of sight and finally saw Cui Yao's tall figure. In front of him should be the sect leader, Zhang Shuilong thought.
"Why don't you go over, what the hell is going on?" Zhang Shuilong said that he was about to follow Xun Mengqi, but he was dragged by Liu A's arm, and he only heard him say: "The Sun Moon Divine Sect has encountered an enemy, let's not go to this troubled water, besides, his own family ......"
"Then I'll have to get over it!" Zhang Shuilong shook off Liu Ada, and without waiting for him to finish, he glared fiercely and walked quickly towards the crowd.
Dividing away from the crowd of onlookers, Zhang Shuilong arrived behind Cui Yao with difficulty, he was about to say hello to Cui Yao, but he heard Xun Meng Qi in front of him shouting: "Even if you fight to die today, you two will die in this tomb!" ”
"After getting along with each other in the past few days, I feel that the sect leader is a ruthless person who is invisible, how can he suddenly be so angry, could it be that he ran into the enemy that Liu Ada said? Enemies of the Cult...... That's why Luoyanmen can make him lose his temper like this. Zhang Shuilong thought to himself.
He guessed correctly at all, among the several groups of people who were assigned to stand in front of him, there were Xiao Shuguan, the master of Luoyanmen, and his apprentice Xiao Zhicheng.
"Hmph......" Uncle Xiao snorted coldly, and said nonchalantly: "A milky shemale, what can you do to me?" ”
"Look for death!"
"Huh?"
The person who was angry by Uncle Xiao and was about to step forward desperately was naturally Cui Yao, but the indifferent and harsh question came from a person standing tall under the city wall, he was wearing the clothes of a reckless man before, and his face with a slight vicissitudes of life had changed.
Xiao Shuguan didn't pay attention to Cui Yao, but nodded at the "reckless man" with a flattering face: "Ouch...... Look at my memory, I have forgotten that he is Lord Xun's nephew, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry......"
"What nonsense, today I want you to die without a place to bury!" Xun Mengqi said that he was about to go forward, Chu Xiang, Cui Yao, and Zhang Shuilong also drew their respective blades and prepared to besiege them, but at this moment, three people walked out of the city gate, and a solemn and majestic man in a brocade robe shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!" ”
His voice couldn't stop Xun Mengqi's move, but the "reckless man" and the vulture had to listen to him, one rushed from the city gate, and the other rushed out of the crowd, and at the same time stood in front of Xiao Shuguan, blocking the way of Xun Mengqi and the four of them.
As soon as the vulture suddenly appeared, Wan Linglong, Ren Xiaotian, and the three or five people who survived the siege of the Yin Sect stepped forward one after another, pointing at his nose and scolding: "Okay, you are a vulture, you attracted so many strange beasts, killed so many people, and dared to show up to find death?" ”
The vultures grinned a few times, completely unwilling to deal with them.
Xun Mengqi has a lot of "alliances" behind him, which makes Cui Yao and the others feel a lot more at ease, Xun Mengqi doesn't care about the number of people at all, staring at the "reckless man" with a pair of cold eyes and saying in a deep voice: "Xun Yunan, you get out of the way for me!" ”
The real name of the reckless man is Xun Yunan, Xun Mengqi's own uncle, one of the four protectors of the Hayang Gate - the absolute protector!
Xun Mengqi's words were disrespectful, some people couldn't listen to it anymore, and a coquettish man wearing a glass purple and gold crown on the left hand side of the middle-aged man said: "Second brother, I advise you not to stick your face to other people's cold butts, the moment he becomes the leader of the Sun and Moon God Sect, he is no longer your Xun family, just kill him and it will be over, saving him from messing around and wasting our time." ”
"Yes, Lord Xun, so many people are waiting here, you can't waste everyone's time hunting for treasures because of his personal vendetta." A young man on the right hand side of the middle-aged man chimed in.
It was this remark that shook the minds of the heroes to watch the play. Yes, after all kinds of hardships and dangers, we didn't come here to see you fighting, we still have to hunt for treasure! Hit the side and don't get in the way at the intersection!
The young man is obviously a ruthless character, as soon as he said a word, the people below accused Xun Mengqi one after another, which made Xun Yunan unhappy, what kind of goods are you? Do you dare to blame my nephew in front of this Dharma protector?
"Iron Gate Lord, I advise you to understand your identity, it's not your turn to speak here!" Xun Yu Nan shouted without looking back.
"Tie Yingxia, go back to Luoyang to see if you still have the courage to say this." Chu Xiang pursed his lips with disdain. Growing up in Luoyang since he was a child, Chu Xiang certainly knew Tie Yingxia, the master of the goldsmith sect, and he didn't know what disgusting means he relied on to get into the powerful, and he actually stood in the city, what a villain!
Inside the city, there are people in the court, and outside the city, there are heroes in the rivers and lakes, so there is a clear distinction. Although the contradiction between Xun Mengqi and Xiao Shuguan belongs to the grievances of the rivers and lakes, but looking at Xiao Shuguan's flattering face, it is obvious that there is a tendency to take refuge in the imperial court.
Xun Mengqi finally understood that Uncle Xiao had become an eagle dog of the imperial court, and if he wanted to take revenge under the noses of the people in the city, it would definitely not be possible, at least his uncle would be the first to stop it.
He calmed down and thought about it, took a step back, and said to Xun Yunan: "If it weren't for your face, he would have died without a place for his master and apprentice." ”
Uncle Xiao wanted to fight back, but Xun Yunan was still in front of him, so he didn't dare to brush his face, so angry he stomped his feet and complained to Xun Yunan: "Listen to what he said, who can stand this!" ”
"That's it!" Xun Yunan snorted impatiently, softened his tone and said, "Since it's all right, let's listen to Lord Qin." ”
Xun Yunan said and hugged his fist towards the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man smiled slightly, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "You are all heroes and heroes in the world, and it is not easy to break into here......
This is a period of unnourishing words, it is nothing more than wearing a high hat and letting the heroes work hard for the court. Chu Xiang really couldn't listen to it, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this Lord Qin?" It doesn't look like a person who practices martial arts, why does Lord Xun still have to look up to him and snort? ”
Xun Mengqi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know him, but the coquettish man next to him looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it in Xunfu when he was a child.
Most of the heroes didn't know Qin Zhi, but Liu Adaa was an exception. He heard from a distance that Xun Mengqi temporarily stopped, not seeking revenge with Uncle Xiao, so he ran behind Zhang Shuilong and whispered to a few people: "Sect Master, you have to be careful of that Lord Qin, he is not an ordinary person, one person in name is above ten thousand people!" ”
"Huh? What do you mean? Do you know him? Xun Mengqi asked.
When Liu Ah heard this, he pushed Zhang Shuilong and approached Xun Mengqi, and when he saw the other party's disgusted eyes, he took a step back awkwardly, and then said: "My subordinates like to collect some antiques, calligraphy and paintings......"
"Do you still have this hobby?" Chu Xiang laughed and said.
"I'm afraid it's some Spring Palace beautiful pictures, Gang Leader Liu." Zhang Shuilong patted Liu Ada's shoulder and teased.
"Go, go, go...... You're just looking at some of the stuff, vulgar! Liu Ada's hand shook off Zhang Shuilong's hand and pretended to pat the dust on his shoulder, as if he wanted to draw a line with the vulgar Zhang Shuilong......
"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point!" Xun Mengqi said coldly.
Zhang Shuilong and the others looked at each other, not daring to ridicule Liu Ada anymore, and Liu Ada hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes...... Here's the thing, the Baihuamen brothers have all walks of life, so the master of Jiamen got a lot of strange things, among which there is a portrait from the Qinglou, which is painted on this Lord Qin, his surname is Qin Mingzhi, and the official worships Tongping Zhangshi, isn't it above ten thousand people under one person? ”
"Such a big official? What did he come to do? If you can't lift your hands and shoulders, you can't resist it, and you don't need him to win the treasure for the emperor! Cui Yao couldn't quite understand what a literati came to mix.
"Maybe it's to take care of Lord Xun on behalf of the emperor, or maybe he has another purpose, after all, it's common for the emperor to be incompatible." Chu Xiang guessed.
Although Qin Zhi's appearance is a blockbuster news, Xun Mengqi doesn't care, he doesn't know martial arts, no matter how big an official is, it's useless, what he wants to know more is what the origin of that coquettish man is, I heard him call Xun Yunan Second Brother, he should also be a person from Hagyangmen.
"Ren Palace Master, do you know the establishment of the Hagiyang Gate?" Xun Mengqi asked.
Ren Xiaotian also heard the internal discussion of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, and knew the existence of Qin Zhi, he thought for a while and replied: "The master of the Hagiyang Gate has a principal and deputy position, and there are four protectors of the Dharma down, and the phoenix is the best in the world, and then there are the four elders and the eight hall masters, but that was the previous system, and I don't know if this is still the case." ”
"That person is also one of the Four Great Dharma Protectors?" Xun Mengqi pointed at the coquettish man and asked.
Ren Xiaotian nodded a little hesitantly, and said: "Since he calls his uncle the second brother, it should be the Heavenly Protector or the Lower Protector of this generation, the Heavenly Protector has always been succeeded by the Cui family, and the Lower Protector is the Wang family, as for who it is, I don't know." ”
The Xun family, the Cui family, and the Wang family are all hidden families in the Central Plains, and it is no wonder that Xun Mengqi looks familiar. Xun Mengqi thought about it carefully, wasn't Huo'er what he gave to Xunfu? When I grew up, I specially asked my father what the name of the "kind-hearted man" was, it seemed to be Cui Lanyue?
Previously, the Xie family had been serving as the absolute protector, and the Xun family had only joined the Hayang Gate to replace the Xie family since Xun Yunan, and Xun Mengqi had left the Xun family, so he didn't know that there was such a thing. Now that I think about it, Cui Lanyue's gift at that time must have been because Xun Yunan was promoted to the absolute protector of the law, and he came to congratulate him.
"I remember, he is a member of the Cui family, his name is Cui Lanyue, and he should be the Heavenly Protector you are talking about." Xun Mengqi and Ren Xiaotian whispered.
Ren Xiaotian nodded, and guessed: "Do you say that it is possible that Qin Zhi is the master of the Hagiyang Gate?" ”
Xun Mengqi thought about it carefully, and felt that it was not impossible, he was just about to explain his guess to Ren Xiaotian, and Qin Zhi's tirade in the distance had already been finished, and the last sentence caused bursts of cheers from the crowd.
"Next, everyone queues up and waits, enter in turn, the last mechanism array of the thirteen tombs, the Qixing Five Elements Array, and there are many heroes who have cracked it!"
