Chapter 20: Extinguishing the Array (3)

"Today, thanks to the help of the former Arctic disciples, this battle will definitely be won. ”

Next to the East Mountain Gate, in front of the Seven Shadows, behind the phalanx of warriors who were also waiting for the battle. Outside the sect, Daoist Qingyu led a hundred people in a formation, righteously denouncing the sins of the Tu Feng Sect one after another. Just now, Wang Yunhai relied on his own skills, and first went to Taihua Mountain to meet the Xinzhao Sect Master who was activating the second major array. After some explanation, it was mentioned that Wang Yunming may also come out of the inner sect. Xin Zhao could only acquiesce to the two brothers and let him come to Dongshanmen to help.

The two Yuanying monks who guarded this place were the two female disciples of the Star Sea of Xinhe and Xinyin. Just now, after Wang Yunhai arrived, he regarded himself as a former disciple of Ziwei of the Arctic Emperor Palace as an old friend of the sect master, and won the trust of the two. Elder Taishang's heart sounded that the hearts of the people were becoming more and more relaxed - all this, in her opinion, was just a drill, just a show.

And Wang Yunhai stood behind the two of them for a while, but he was always worried about Wang Yunming lying in the cave.

It's very strange that after the three orders of the Protector Sect were thrown down by Xinhe, the other disciples only felt a momentary feeling of dizziness and were fine. But his brother was so miserable... It was as if there was some close connection between him and the Protector Array.

Wang Yunhai frowned tightly, and suddenly thought of a long-ago rumor about Tu Feng Sect. I was shocked in my heart. At this time, the surprised voice of the Xinyin Daoist suddenly sounded, "This... Yun Ming, why is he here!"

Wang Yunhai hurriedly turned his head sideways. Seven Shadow Mountain and Guanmei Peak are two spiritual mountains apart, and at the foot of the Wolong Mountain in the west, a figure, carrying his back, gradually emerged from the fog and slowly walked towards them. Wang Yunhai's pupils dilated, but his younger brother still came, although he looked like the pain on his expression had not diminished at all.

The disciples in front of them also let out a whispered chatter. Only Xin and Dao smiled slightly, and said in her unique cold voice, "There will be no one less who should come." This is providential, so why be surprised. ”

After Wang Yunhai listened to her words, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart. He looked at the side face of Xiang Xinhe, and a monstrous wave was set off in his heart. He ignored one point, this person was the first person to be inferred by the Heavenly Machines in the Tu Feng Sect. She... The things of the future can be spied on by the heart and the eyes......

She suddenly turned her head and smiled lightly at Wang Yunhai. The fog in front of me seemed to be a little thicker.

"Poor Dao also knows who should come and who should not come. ”

Therefore, it is very likely that she has seen through her true identity! Wang Yunhai suddenly felt nervous, and said casually, "Heart and Dao Leader, then can you figure out who this Nine Lotus Sect Elder is?"

A playful smile appeared on the white face of the Heart and Daoist, and there was no emotion in his voice, "The Nine Lotus Sect also looks down on us. This Qingyu Daoist, a mere Zhongyuan infant elder, can also lead the crowd to shout. ”

The sound of footsteps rushed towards them intermittently, and Wang Yunming's voice, which had become hoarse at some point, sounded in their ears again-

"See the two uncles, as well as the same teachers. In the next six generations of the first Wang Yunming. Come and help. ”

————

"Senior sister, let's go over. It doesn't matter. Xin Heng's voice suddenly fell silent, and Xia Fanxing's ears sounded again with the voice of the elder of the Nine Lotus Sect. At the foot of Qixuan Mountain, almost everyone except Master Xinheng focused their attention on the dense fog outside the mountain gate. He temporarily put aside the surprise he had just said about what Xin Heng wanted to say, took Hou Ying's hand, and said seriously.

Hou Ying thought for a while, nodded, pulled her hand out of his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and stopped talking. He got up from the grass and walked towards the bottom of Qixuan Mountain. Xia Fanxing followed behind her, and as she walked, the sound of Xinheng in her ears became clear again.

"Your father, he is not an ordinary official. ”

"Back then, he was also a great prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people, the prince and the prince. ”

Walking into the mist between the two mountains, Xia Fanxing and Lingbao's induction became more and more stable. And the sentence mentioned by Xin Heng made Xia Fanxing almost scared half to death.

In the years in the Tu Feng Sect, almost, no one has ever mentioned how he Xia Fanxing entered the sect. He only knew that the reason why he was able to become a big disciple of Xinheng was because his parents made a lot of efforts.

His biological father... Was he a governor of the three provinces? That is, a prime minister in the popular sense?

Several names immediately came to his mind. And more than 20 years ago, even 30 years ago......

So, from before Li Linfu became the prime minister in the 22nd year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, to Xiao Song, the right man of Shangshu in the 16th year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the major governors of the three provinces, there are five or six. Xia Fanxing felt that his brain was very messy... I can only barely remember the names of the prime ministers in the middle, Xiao Song, Han Xiu, and Zhang Jiuling. Also, Li Linfu.

"Because, his official position is too big. But at that time, he made a very serious mistake that could well have brought his career to the end. In the imperial court, there were too many open and secret battles between ministers. The emperor was also a generation of Ming monarchs at that time, and the courtiers at that time were often cautious in their words and deeds. Unlike now, where corruption is rampant and the government is extremely chaotic. ”

"Who is he?" Xia Fanxing, who was slowly moving in the mist, lost his patience and asked impatiently to Xinheng.

"At that time, the atmosphere in the DPRK was very good, but it was also very strict. Heavy ministers often pay great attention to personal style and do not want to be caught by others. Illegitimate children are often criticized by people with intentions. Plus, your father ......"

Xia Fanxing froze and stopped. Hou Ying glanced back strangely, but she couldn't see anything clearly except the fog. Suspiciously, he whispered, "Senior brother?"

"Wait, wait......"

He thought of Senior Sister He Qiongjiu, the fifth seat of the sixth generation. Senior Sister He, who has a bright and active personality, is rumored to be the illegitimate daughter of a minister in the court at that time. Whenever he saw Senior Sister He, he couldn't help but feel this emotion, He Qiongjiu was indeed very strong. was not hurt by the rumors, and lived out his own character in the sect.

However... Now, the master is telling him that he, Xia Fanxing, is also an illegitimate child who has been abandoned by others? Moreover, this person's official position in the DPRK turned out to be one of the three ** officials in the government and the opposition, and one of the prime ministers of the dynasty!

How can it be... Xia Fanxing faced his life experience for the first time, and he was unwilling to look directly at everything Xin Heng said. In the mist, he slowly crouched down and hugged his head. After a while, Xinheng's sigh came.

Hou Ying walked slowly to him, not knowing what was going on, sighed, and said softly, "Senior brother, what happened?"

“...... This is the second sin of Ruzong! The third sin! Sect Master, if you are listening, you and I both understand what is happening today and what is the cause of all this. Back then, the Li family had already made a decision. But they flouted the rules and refused to accept the verdict. The sect realm has its own rules of the sect. Since you are not satisfied, then you have no choice but to meet each other with swords!"

When these words came out, most of the disciples could not understand them. Even the two hundred men brought by the other party couldn't understand it. Only the high-level leaders of both sides, Xin Zhao Xinheng and the others, as well as the elders of the Seven Sects, understood the meaning of Qing Yu's words. However, if it weren't for the fact that Xia Fanxing only had the voice of Xin Heng in his ears, he would definitely wake up after hearing these words.

Because, the reason why Tu Fengzong had a relationship with An Lushan was because he wanted to help him. All of this seems to lie in the fact that An Lushan has something that the Li Tang Dynasty also has. It is very precious and all the sects want it. But at the secret meeting of the royal family ten years ago, the Tu Feng Sect was excluded by the major sects. That's what happened. As early as the day of the Rongwang Mansion Tribulation, Jin Qifa partially revealed these secrets to Xia Fanxing.

In the Tu Feng Sect, the Supreme Elders heard each other mention sensitive topics, but none of them made a sound, and they waited at the foot of the mountain everywhere, listening to the voices coming from the fog outside the mountain gate with disdain.

"It was a long time ago when I was a teacher, and it was still the year of the Divine Dragon. As a teacher, I have a friendship with your father. He is the later Shangshu Youcheng, Xiao Qiaofu and Xiao Song. At that time, he was just a member of the military and did not have the power that he later had. ”

But he is very optimistic about his potential in the future. Qiao Fu is good at observing words and feelings, but he can ask and know how to use people. It is actually reasonable that he finally became the right man of Shangshu. ”

Xia Fanxing had already stood up and slowly walked in the direction of Qixuan Mountain with Hou Ying's support. Hou Ying was very strange why the junior brother suddenly appeared in such a situation, but out of kindness, she didn't ask much.

As for Xia Fanxing, his mind was already completely confused. Before this, he had absolutely never imagined that his biological father would be such a big official. I never imagined that I would be an illegitimate child. What saddened him the most was that he didn't know much about the life of Xiao Youcheng, that is, his biological father, and had only seen it in history books. For this person, he couldn't find any possible feelings when he dug into his lungs, because there was no intersection at all. Xiao Song is a pure stranger to Xia Fanxing, a high-powered stranger. This is what really frightens him.

Moreover, when Xia Fanxing realized that the former right-hand man Xiao Song seemed to have passed away a few years ago, a deep sense of powerlessness came to his heart.

"Your father promoted the later prime minister, Han Xiu. Xiao Song's principle of being a gentleman is to try to follow his wishes, and the principle of dealing with the world is to make good connections and never make enemies. However, Han Xiu, who he picked up with one hand, was completely different from him. And Li Linfu had long seen that he was unhappy, and used means to win over Han Xiu, wanting to hit him. Xiao Song's political achievements are mediocre, while Han Xiu is known for his courage to give direct advice, and some people even say that he is quite like Wei Zheng. ”

"It's almost here, let's go and compensate Uncle Shi first. Then see if there's anything we can do to help. Hou Ying hugged Xia Fanxing, walked out of the fog, and was already under the eyes of all the disciples. The Heart Heng Daoist was following behind the Heart Soul Daoist in the air at this moment, frowning tightly above the phalanx, listening to the words of the Qingyu Daoist.

"Why are you here!" he approached the foot of the mountain, and the five generations of disciples guarding at the foot of the mountain all showed embarrassed expressions. The person with a bold personality sighed deeply and blamed.

"Back then, in order to maintain the balance of the Heavenly Dao, we and other members of the sect swore to be loyal to every royal family. No sect must appear to seize power and usurp the throne. What you are doing today and helping the Hu people to enter the Central Plains is not self-destructing and despising the original oath! Today, this seat led the crowd to come, and did not say anything about taking advantage of the fire to rob. Since he still chooses to close the big array, help the thief sacrifice to the sky. You're certainly prepared. I'm afraid, but not so afraid of us. ”

"Finally, Sect Master, Fellow Daoist Xinzhao, you have fifteen seconds to stand up and answer this seat. Either reopen your Protector Array now, and no longer participate in any matters related to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony; I advise you to think about it again and think about it for the sake of the three-thousand-year-old sect foundation. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, my disciples and disciples are very sorry. But... In fact, many disciples had already guessed that it was going to happen. The risk of this matter is also known to the disciples. But allow us to do that!"

"After Li Linfu wooed him, he squeezed out your father openly and secretly. In particular, Han Xiu's personality was too sharp, and His Majesty the Emperor at that time also liked outspoken ministers. After Han Xiu gained power, your father's life became more and more difficult. He seemed to have forgotten who had promoted him in the first place. ”

"At a time when there was a lot of personal importance, your father somehow got involved with your mother. ”

Xia Fanxing sat quietly on the mountain behind Senior Sister and Xincang Daoren, looking at the thick fog in front of him. What the two of them were saying, what Daoist Qingyu was saying, he didn't hear it.

"Fanxing, I know that you must want to know the truth of the matter now. Then the teacher doesn't intend to hide it from you. After all, it is possible that this is the only chance to tell you the truth. Your mother had just entered a green house not long ago. The Qinglou is less than 100 meters outside the east city of Chang'an, very famous, standing in the Taizong period, has entertained countless dignitaries and nobles. It is praised as the Tang Ming Building. Not long after she entered the Tang Ming Building, she met your father. No one can say anything about feelings, at that time your father was not young, at the age of fifty or sixty, but he loved your mother so deeply. The two of them had a very close relationship at that time, and Xiao Song hid his wife and all his friends in the court. And it wasn't until after that time passed that Xiao Song didn't know that your mother had accidentally conceived a child with him. ”

He knew that if he really had an illegitimate child, Han Xiu would definitely speak before His Majesty. Although this person is ungrateful, he really can't find any style problems, and Xiao Song must be in front of Han Xiu. And as long as there is a problem, Li Linfu will definitely magnify it infinitely. As it turned out, years later, they still found a reason to remove your father from office. ”

What's more, at that time he already felt a deep sense of crisis. A person who lives all year round in a sense of security built up by his good relationship is naturally restless. However, he has a deep affection for your mother, and he can't even let her take medicine. They intend to give birth to you. Xiao Song came to find a teacher to help. The place where you were born is my mansion on Zhixuan Peak. And your father, too, paid some price for it. In the following years, when he was an official in the court, he helped us do a lot of beneficial things for the Yexin Sect. It may be these things that have become important evidence for Han Xiuzhi and his ilk to impeach him. After his dismissal, there was no news of him and your mother as a teacher. A few years ago, you should also know that Xiao Song died of illness. ”

Xia Fanxing sniffed. The corners of my eyes felt very heavy. Hou Ying, who had talked to Xincang before, looked back at him with concern, but saw him lying slowly on the grass, looking up at the sky, and didn't know what he was thinking at this time.

"Master... What about my mother?"

After a moment, "I don't know. Since she sent you to the sect sixteen years ago, there has been no news of your mother. However, she was only twenty years old when she conceived you, and I believe that she will not have any accidents, and she will definitely live well now. ”

"That's... Do you know her name?"

"As a teacher, I only know that the name of the flower that your mother used at that time was called... Snow Willow Bar ......"

Xia Fanxing let out a long sigh. The whole body was as heavy as lead. Xin Heng's voice gradually faded, and the voice of the elder of the Nine Lotus Sect in his ears became more and more obvious. The more Qing Yu talked about the back, the more excited he became. Xia Fanxing felt a noise. Regarding his parents, it is another extremely difficult thing to let go. Especially when he knew that Xiao Song was dead and his mother was still alive, Xia Fanxing always felt that he had to do something, but he couldn't do anything about it, and he felt a deep emptiness. But the battle is about to begin. He even had some hope that he would die today with those uninvited guests from the outside world, leaving behind all the troubles and chaos.

"Are you okay?" After finally getting the understanding of all the division commanders present, Hou Ying walked up to him and sat down, and asked with great concern.

Xia Fanxing smiled, "It's okay. Maybe it's a matter of cultivation. When his heart was in turmoil, the voice of the Nine Lotus Sect Leader outside was particularly harsh.

"Sect Master, the hundreds of people outside the Four Mountains Gate at this moment know that when it comes to this, you will not change your mind. This seat is just to give you a face. However, Xinzhao Daoyou refused to return to the poor road even a word, and there was really no one in his eyes. ”

"Since you have in your mind, we have already reached the point where we don't need to say a word. Then tear your face, it's okay. Let's see if you can stop me with the power of your sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he tore his face, and something magical happened. From the moment everyone saw it, the endless fog gradually began to disappear. The vision suddenly cleared, and when everyone in the Tu Feng Sect reacted, all the dense fog inside and outside the entire sect had already dispersed at this moment. The morning light is sprinkled, the sky is cloudless, and the autumn breeze is rustling, just like a pleasing autumn scene.

And all the disciples in the four mountain gates also clearly saw the other party's formation.

Two hundred, and guessing less. In front of each mountain gate, the opponent's formation is also the same. Xia Fanxing saw that outside the mountain gate, there was a phalanx of fifty people pressing in front of him. The terrifying thing is that these people are all monks, composed of condensing qi and foundation building monks, and the lowest cultivation is not lower than the fifth layer of condensing qi. It seems that these people are all those second-rate and third-rate sects who have come to take the lead.

Outside the Nanshan Gate, there were four people riding on horses behind the phalanx. Behind them stood some people with unfathomable cultivation. Through the robes of these four people, the two of them were able to judge that this was a disciple of the Seven Seas Sect and the Shengyang Sect!

And these four people are all Yuanying cultivators! Although none of them are stronger than the two of them, the cultivation of the two disciples of the Seven Seas Sect is not much different from both of them, and the other party is outnumbered. If these four people rush up together, Xinheng and the two will definitely not be able to stop a few rounds and will be defeated.

Fortunately, they had expected this for a long time. When the dead soldiers sent by An Lushan were almost killed, the few Yuanying monks in the Tu Feng Sect would directly climb to the top of Lingshan Mountain to guard the eyes of the big array. With the help of the experience of the terrain, try to take a little time. Despite the plan, some optimistic elders believe that they have already made private covenants with the sects. When the 800 dead soldiers are halfway through the killing, the opponent will call in the gold and withdraw the troops, and the whole performance will be over.

The dead soldiers in heavy armor have already exercised the spirit of not being afraid of death after going through the battlefield. However, outside the locked four mountain gates, what they were about to contend with with their physical bodies were the incomparably powerful condensation qi high-level and foundation building cultivators with physical bodies. This is destined to be a fight that is extremely unjust. In the eyes of others, they are just a human wall to resist the first wave of the opponent's attack. However, as the fog lifted, no one took a step back, not even moving.

The Qingyu Daoist outside the Dongshan Gate finally revealed his true face at the moment when the fog dissipated. The heart and Taoist who protected Wang Yunming's brother behind him slowly cast his gaze away, staring at each other's faces without the slightest fear. The disdain from the heart flashed across her face, pursed her lips, and never gave Qing Yu another look.

And the other party was not surprised. Hateful eyes looked at her for a moment, then turned away. This profit-hungry woman, for her benefit, trampled a piece of his Qingyu's sincerity under her feet. He was even willing to commit himself to Shi Siming's Hu Pig! Thinking of this, Qingyu Daoist couldn't help but tremble all over, but he endured a huge resentment. Slowly turn your head away. A voice rang in the ears of everyone present, "Break through the mountain gate!"

In the phalanx of fifty people on the other side, a strong aura immediately condensed. The two hundred dead soldiers who were waiting in the major mountain gates took two steps forward neatly, and they were already very close to the mountain gates. I don't know who took the lead and roared, and the rest of the soldiers followed suit. The true breath outside all gathered together, and blasted towards the mountain gate again and again. It had been four or five hundred years since the last reconstruction, and the Four Mountains Gate immediately crumbled. The soldiers roared neatly at this time, which could be regarded as emboldening themselves.

The earth-shattering roar of the eight hundred Hu soldiers immediately resounded through the sky. Among the disciples who were attacking the door, some who had never seen the great world were even startled by the deafening roar. But most people didn't panic in the slightest. They knew that no matter what kind of equipment or how strong the soldiers, as long as they broke through this gate, in the eyes of the monks, they were ants that could be trampled to death.

What's more, in the realm of the sect, it is completely possible to use Dao techniques to bully and bully mortals.

Soon, four loud bangs rang out at the same time. The four gates were breached at almost the same time. After this battle, whether it can be won or not, it will take time for the mountain gate to be rebuilt.

The moment the mountain gate collapsed, Xin Heng and Xin Soul immediately flew towards the foot of Qixuan Mountain. Hou Ying was puzzled and asked the people around him, "They are fighting against these mortals, and if we help, wouldn't we be able to annihilate these Qi Condensation Foundation Cultivators of the other party in one fell swoop?"

The Heart Cang Dao explained to her, "The Sect Master said it before. Only these soldiers can be allowed to fight with them. If our monks suddenly attack, so many masters behind the opponent will definitely release cold arrows. Also, this place is far away from the battlefield, and it is difficult for us to achieve long-range spell support. ”

"Ah——" The tide of people collided together, and the sound of fighting shook the sky. In the past, a monk in the early stage of foundation building could beat an eight-foot man half to death with the most ordinary transformation technique. However, Tu Fengzong and An Lushan also made preparations. The 100 equipped warriors at the front were extremely thick in iron armor, and their defensive capabilities were greatly improved. Coupled with the pills taken before, these things can reduce the opponent's damage by at least fifty percent. When the gate was broken and the two sides rushed to kill, the armored warriors stood in front and blocked them to the outside. The monks often punched and kicked, and even if they had true breath, they could at most knock the armored warriors to the ground. And these well-trained, death-defying fighters are often the first to stand up. Even if his face was covered with blood, he didn't care and continued to block the other party outside.

The rest of the lightly armed dead men rushed up from both sides, holding sharp spears in their hands, and stabbed at each other desperately.

The blood of the dead soldiers was immediately sprinkled all over the battlefield. The monks who rushed up all turned on the True Breath Protector. The scene was frozen for a while, but every minute and second, there were soldiers who fell and continued to stand up until they were really unable to resist and gave their lives.

After the start of the war, there was also movement on Taihua Mountain. Sect Master Xin Zhao had already opened the reserve array with all his might. Four dazzling white lights shot from Mount Taihua to the front of the four mountain gates. For a while, the aura of heaven and earth in front of the mountain gate suddenly decayed. All the monks felt that their spiritual power was weakened, and the true breath in their bodies that could be manipulated had decreased considerably. The mortal warriors, on the other hand, had no such concerns, dragging the other party to the death, and could even exchange their lives for a small number of casualties.

However, even in the current situation of four people surrounding a monk, it is still very difficult. Although the strength of the opponent's attack has been reduced a lot, it is even more difficult to injure a monk than to ascend to the sky. The sound of the armored warrior falling to the ground came and went, and he got up again, and was knocked down again. After a few rounds, he no longer had the strength to get up. The monks on the other side often only suffered flesh wounds.

But after the real fire, both sides have reduced a lot of concerns. None of the soldiers retreated out of fear, and even at the cost of their lives, they inflicted casualties on the other side. The monks, on the other hand, felt that they had been humiliated and that even the mortal soldiers could not clean it up. When a monk was attacked, he angrily grabbed his opponent's spear, broke it off, and plunged the tip of his spear into his throat. But because of negligence and vigilance, when the aura was sluggish, he was directly pounced on by another person who caught up behind, and a spear pierced his neck, blood flowed, and he couldn't stand up anymore.

Often, at the cost of the lives of ten dead soldiers, one monk can be replaced with one dead or seriously wounded, and must withdraw from the battlefield and no longer fight. The rest of the monks, each wounded, but not fatal, harvested the lives of the remaining soldiers more and more violently.

Eight hundred dead men, before they all fell, dragged on for a full two quarters of an hour, taking the lives of at least forty monks, and many more were seriously wounded. It has already shocked all the people inside and outside the sect!

At the foot of the Seven Shadows Mountain, the face of the Heart Sound Dao was like frost. Seemingly... None of this is acting. Watching more and more soldiers fall, she finally understood that these people really wanted to exterminate the thousand-year-old Dao Ji of the Tu Feng Sect!

She had never felt the crisis of life and death like at this moment. I feel that the thousand-year-old inheritance of the sect is swaying with the autumn morning breeze.

The same is true for all the other sect disciples.
