CHAPTER XXXIII
The three people I saw before, one monk and one Confucian, each of them was not weaker than the Bodhi Sect Ying Zheng and the Confucian Li Yu of that day. The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism warned themselves together, and it was obvious that this matter was so big that it was beyond their expectations.
Su Ming saw the man in Confucian clothes leave and stood still. A moment later, another person appeared, armed with a spear, full of qi and blood, and full of anger, obviously a descendant of the military family. As soon as this person appeared, Su Ming found that in the starry sky above, a faint starlight fell down, falling from the Parkway into the Mud Pill Palace. This person is full of true qi, and he is also extremely murderous, and he is extremely strong.
"I was ordered to come here, hoping that Mr. Su would not step into this battle." This man opened his mouth to speak, like a clash of gold and iron, and it was extremely strange.
Su Ming asked in a deep voice, "Whose order?" β
The man pointed his spear to the sky, and without saying a word, he turned and departed.
When Su Ming saw this, he was shocked. When he was in Chengde that day, Wang Chengzong once said that the secret method of the military family, and many divided feudal towns were only medium methods, and the superior methods of communicating star power were always in the hands of the Li Tang court. Just now, this person was clearly able to communicate the power of the stars above his head, and later pointed his spear at the sky, which obviously meant that he was from Chang'an City!
Seeing this, Su Ming couldn't help but secretly exclaim, the method of communicating the power of the heavens and stars had long been lost in the cultivation world. I don't want to be in the hands of soldiers, but I still have some inheritance, although it is not comprehensive, but it is not trivial.
"It's getting interesting!" Su Ming suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and looked up at the starry sky, which was still vast and profound.
In the next time, Su Ming knew that there was about to change greatly in Luoyang City, and secretly adjusted his body and mind to the best state. Sometimes I also carefully observed Xu Huanlong, but I didn't find any problems. But not finding the problem is the biggest problem, the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, plus the Chang'an Imperial Court, warned from all sides, but Xu Huanlong did not show a trace of abnormality, which is the most abnormal thing.
Time flickered, and half a month passed, Xu Huanlong invited Su Ming to the mansion to attend the dinner. Su Ming's thoughts flowed, but he still agreed.
In the evening, Su Ming went as promised. The mansion of the Eastern Capital Jiedu Envoy, compared with the mansions of the other Jiedu envoys, is more magnificent and magnificent. A subordinate took Su Ming all the way, and when he arrived, he found that Xu Huanlong was not the only one who invited him. Su Ming swept slightly, and knew that there were all the officials sitting below the entire Eastern Capital, who were almost large and small.
"Brother Su is here!" Xu Huanlong strode over, smiled, led the way in front, and said, "Brother Su, please sit on my right side." He settled Su Ming on his right side.
Xu Huanlong, as the envoy of the Eastern Capital, his seat is naturally the highest and in the center. From him downwards, all the officials sat down in order, according to the size of their official positions. He placed Su Ming on the right side, obviously the position was only lower than him, higher than everyone else, and naturally had ulterior motives.
Su Ming didn't object, his face was indifferent. Seeing Xu Huanlong's big move, he pointed at Su Ming and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Su Mingsu, who was in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and single-handedly injured three of the four masters and killed one of them. Coming here today, we are also fortunate to have three lives! Let's drink this cup together! β
Some of the officials below already understood in their hearts, and if they didn't understand, they inquired a little, and they knew that at the moment, regardless of whether they were happy or not, they all echoed loudly and drank with a mouthful.
Slowly, the banquet entered a climax, and Su Ming just drank alone, occasionally talking to Xu Huanlong for a few words, as if the whole person was peeled off from the banquet. Seeing the people in the banquet wearing masks one by one, hypocritically, hooking up with each other, some respectful, some arrogant, very disgusted.
At this time, Xu Huanlong stood up, he drank a lot of wine, and he didn't have the luck to force it out, he looked like he was a little drunk, stretched out his hand, and said, "Everyone, listen to me!" There was an instant silence below, and everyone who was still walking around stopped and returned to their seats.
"I'm in my fifties and six, and I don't have much time left. You're all here today, and I'm going to announce something. Xu Huanlong glanced at the bottom and said, "Dog Xu Lingfeng, as the prince of the world, will succeed me as the new envoy of the Eastern Capital Festival in a year." β
The hall was silent for a moment, and the pins could be heard. Except for Su Ming, who was still drinking, everyone looked at Xu Huanlong without the slightest movement.
Xu Huanlong raised his hand and said, "Let's go on!" He sat back in his seat.
"Your Excellency, isn't this inappropriate?" Under Xu Huanlong, the first person on the left didn't stand up, just sat in place, and there was an unconcealable momentum. This person is the deputy envoy of the Eastern Capital Jiedu, Jiang Xing. As the number one person under the Jiedu envoy, Jiang Xing can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person in the Eastern Capital, and his power is second only to Xu Huanlong.
Jiang Xing was only about forty, and when he was in the prime of life, he smiled slightly, looking very elegant: "My lord is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, why do you suddenly say such words?" We will assist the adults, and there is no other thing to say. The matter of replacement needs to be discussed again. "The implication is that there is no problem with assisting Xu Huanlong, assisting Xu Lingfeng, then I'm sorry.
Xu Huanlong's face changed color slightly, and said, "What do you mean by this?" β
"I really don't like you literati, you speak in a concise manner, and you are not happy at all." The first person on the right spoke in a deep and majestic voice. This person is the capital of Luoyang, the eastern capital, called Wu Changhao, who is also about forty. Du Yuhou is a military attache in the army, who enforces the law in the army, and is the third person after the Jiedu envoy and the deputy Jiedu envoy.
Wu Changhao arched his hand towards Xu Huanlong and said, "My lord, I have an upright temperament, and you can't blame you for saying something." You sit in this seat, and we are served. But Xu Lingfeng sits in this seat, and we are not convinced. He is a yellow-mouthed child, he can't be a martial artist, he bullies men and women all day long, and he can be the envoy of the Eastern Capital Festival? If you really want him to sit in this position, within three or five years, I'm afraid that the Eastern Capital will be gone! β
What he said was simply lawless, and Xu Huanlong's face darkened when he heard it, and he said angrily: "Presumptuous! β
But he didn't want Jiang Xing to say again: "My lord, I am angry, although Chang Hao speaks straightforwardly, he is bare-hearted, and I hope that my lord will think twice!" β
As soon as the words fell, in the main hall, the rest of the officials all bowed their hands in unison and said, "I hope your lord thinks twice!" β
Xu Huanlong laughed angrily: "Okay! Good! Are you going to do the opposite? β
Jiang Xing shook a feather fan and said, "That's not the case, but I hope that adults will think twice." β
Xu Huanlong's face was grim, and he said, "What if I insist? β
Wu Changhao suddenly stood up and said, "My lord, you were also born in the last few years, and you led our brothers to fight in the south and the north, so you have this foundation. If it were you, I wouldn't say a word. But then again, this foundation is not something you did alone, but also a credit to our brothers. You know what you're thinking. I also confessed that if you really want your only son to take over, please forgive me for not being able to obey! β
As soon as he got up, at least half of the officials on his right followed suit.
Then, Jiang Xing also stood up, with a slender figure and an extraordinary bearing, and said: "Although Changhao said it bluntly, it is also what I mean. My lord, this seat is not for anyone to sit on, you baby bump, it's really dangerous to sit here, forget it! β
He was together, and most of the officials on his left side also got up.
The No. 1 civil and military generals under his command were directly opposed, and most of the officials who attended the dinner were involved, Su Ming watched coldly, only feeling that this was simply a small coup d'Γ©tat to force the palace.
Xu Huanlong sneered, and also stood up, holding the wine glass in his hand, and said, "Are you going to rebel?" β
"The word is too heavy, I can't afford it!" Jiang Xing said, "But the adult's decision is wrong, I'll just wait for advice." β
Xu Huanlong looked at Jiang Xing and Wu Changhao, and said word by word: "You two sit down now, I can act as if nothing happened!" β
Before the words fell, Jiang Xing shook his head, and he didn't say anything. Wu Changhao laughed out loud: "My lord, even I don't believe in this sentence, let alone others?" β
Xu Huanlong said coldly: "Since this is the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!" He threw the glass to the ground. Suddenly, there were many guards rushing out of the footsteps outside.
But at the same time, many guards rushed in at the entrance of the main hall. On closer inspection, it is clearly divided into two parts. One protects Jiang Xing in it, and the other protects Xu Huanlong in it.
At first glance, it looks like a three-legged situation.
Jiang Xing sneered and said, "My lord, who doesn't understand your thoughts!" Since we are here for the banquet, how can the two of us not make arrangements? β
Xu Huanlong said calmly: "Even with you, dare to be my enemy?" β
Wu Changhao said: "My lord, you led the army to fight back then, claimed to be undefeated, and cultivated as a soldier, it is by no means as simple as it seems. If the two of us don't have a little dependence, how dare we turn against you? β
As soon as the words fell, a person came out behind Wu Changhao, standing with a gun, it was the same military master who had warned Su Ming a few nights ago, who was likely to be from the imperial court!
Seeing this, Xu Huanlong's face changed, and he said coldly: "Wu Changhao, is it difficult for you to send this foundation to the imperial court?" β
"Sent to the imperial court, I can still live and enjoy the glory and wealth. If you don't send it, what awaits me is a dead end, and you forced me! Wu Changhao looked at Xu Huanlong, like steel, and was not moved at all.
Xu Huanlong looked at Jiang Xing again and said, "What about you?" β
Behind Jiang Xing, a middle-aged Confucian came out, who was also the one who warned Su Ming that night.
Seeing this, Xu Huanlong's face changed again, and said, "You even communicated with outsiders and wanted to put me to death?" β
Jiang Xing's face was indifferent, and he said, "I didn't want to, but I had to do it." β
Xu Huanlong took a deep breath and said, "Sun Potian, one of the seven military masters of Chang'an City, and Zheng Donglai of the Zheng family, one of the five great families of Confucianism!" You really think of me! β
Luoyang is the eastern capital, Xu Huanlong, who can control Luoyang, how can he be in vain? Although the three towns of Heshuo are known as the strongest feudal towns in the world, they are actually just boasting. Secretly, the Eastern Capital can definitely be regarded as one of the top three feudal towns in the world. And Xu Huanlong led his troops to fight back then and never lost a single defeat, so there are still people who call him "Xu Undefeated"!
This is not blown out, but the majesty of sacrificing life and forgetting death and fighting bloody battles back then!
Zheng Donglai's face was indifferent, and he said: "Lord Xu is too majestic, so I have to do it!" β
Sun Potian also nodded.
Although the two of them are strong, what is really strong is the force behind them! Chang'an Li Tang court orthodoxy! There is also the Zheng family, one of the five great families of Confucianism! Although after the Anshi Rebellion, the Li and Tang courts declined, the Confucian family still supported the Li and Tang courts. Now that the imperial court and the Zheng family have come forward together, if they say that they have not reached a certain agreement in private, no one will believe it.
"The world is going to change!" Even if Su Ming didn't understand politics and didn't understand soldiers, he could see a little sign.
Xu Huanlong suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand, and said, "I want you to know that this Luoyang City, or I, Xu Huanlong, have the final say!" β
Before the words fell, a faint golden light was born on the periphery of the entire mansion, and the mansion was protected in it, turning into a hemispherical golden light curtain. The pavilions, flowers, trees, bridges and flowing water inside all give birth to a little light and blend into it. The entire mansion is like a huge forbidden formation. And all of them are in the formation.
Xu Huanlong's soldiers instantly set up a battle formation, and the blood was blessed on his body. Countless fierce churning blood and qi like a substance, forming a vast space behind him, from which appeared a divine general, golden helmet and golden armor, five zhang tall, the face is the same as Xu Huanlong, a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and the battle intent is soaring!
"Good fellows! The soldiers and gods have actually practiced to the point of becoming one with man and god? Sun Potian saw that the face of the golden armor god general was the same as Xu Huanlong, his complexion changed, and there was a thick incredulity in his eyes.
The way of the soldiers, the first heavy killing, its magical secret method is different in the world's various sects, not like Taoism pays attention to longevity, nor like Buddhism cares about perfection, but also not like Confucianism pays attention to self-cultivation and Qi family governance and peace in the world. Everyone in their faction is a fierce general in the army, a veteran of the killing field, and they pay attention to killing to stop killing and countering violence with violence. For thousands of years, successive generations of fierce generals have emerged one after another. Even so, it is rare to be able to cultivate this soldier god to the unity of man and god.
"This formation of mine is by no means ordinary, it is a pure yang true fire array! Even if you are prepared in advance, you will definitely not be an opponent under the formation and my attack. Surrender now, and I can still spare your life! Xu Huanlong's voice was rolling, one person spoke, but two people opened their mouths. Behind him, the golden armor god general also followed his voice, opened his mouth to speak, and the sound was like rolling thunder, and it seemed to be a sonorous sound of gold and iron.
"Pure Yang True Fire Array? This is not the formation of the Pure Yang Sect, how could you? When Zheng Donglai heard this formation, he obviously lost his mind, and his face was full of incredulity.
That Pure Yang True Fire Array is the most famous formation of the Pure Yang Sect. It is rumored that in ancient times, this formation was exerted to the extreme, and it once communicated the true fire of the sun, the true fire of the Vermilion Bird, and the true fire of the center of the earth.
Even if for various reasons, this formation cannot reach this level of power, it is definitely extraordinary, far from being comparable to ordinary formations.
"Because the concubine was born in the Pure Yang Sect!" It was Mrs. Xu who spoke, at this time she was wearing a long skirt, and there seemed to be real fire burning on it, looking full of fairy spirit.
"I see!" Jiang Xing looked at Mrs. Xu, and instantly understood in his heart, "You are not from some small cultivation sect at all, but from the Pure Yang Sect!" For more than 20 years, they have been deceiving us! When I thought that Xu Huanlong and his wife's thoughts were so deep, I couldn't help but feel a little chill in my heart.
The four major sects of the Daomen are Taiyi, Shenxiao, Dragon Tiger, and Dunjia, in addition, there are some major factions, even if they are not called top sects, they are not trivial, and the Pure Yang Sect is one of them. This sect is good at controlling all kinds of flames between heaven and earth, such as Nanming Lihuo, Sun True Fire, Earth's Center True Fire, Vermilion Bird True Fire, Samadhi True Fire, etc. Now that Mrs. Xu, a disciple from the Pure Yang Sect, is personally controlled, her power has naturally increased greatly.
"Isn't the Pure Yang Sect afraid of destroying the sect if he does this?" As soon as Sun Potian stood up, countless textures and tiny talismans appeared on his skin, circulating endlessly. The spirit rushed up from the top, piercing the sky, but was blocked by the golden light, where could it communicate with the power of the stars.
Naturally, the Pure Yang Sect had produced primordial god figures before, but now it doesn't. The highest cultivation in the door is only the innate peak, and he is still comprehending the Yuanshen Dao. Although the imperial court is in decline, it is not impossible to kill the Pure Yang Sect in anger.
"Even with the current imperial court, dare to speak so loudly?" Xu Huanlong and his wife showed murderous intentions and did it together!
Xu Huanlong stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a Fang Tian painting halberd fell into his hand. With a light blow, the Golden Armor God General behind him also stabbed out with exactly the same blow. The two are in one, and the strength is like a dragon, falling to everyone.
And Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand to control the formation, and white real fires appeared out of thin air, burning around everyone, blazing hot, as if they could refine everything into ashes.
At the same time, Wu Changhao shouted, and under the blessing of countless soldiers behind him, a gold-armored god general also appeared behind him, about four feet and five feet tall, and his face was not as clear as the god general behind Xu Huanlong. The two sledgehammers in their hands were smashed indiscriminately with a bang.
Jiang Xing and Zheng Donglai used their Confucian supernatural powers together, and their spirit rose to the sky, wanting to communicate the heroic righteousness between heaven and earth, but they were also blocked by the golden light curtain.
The formation is one, isolating the heaven and the earth! Even if the Innate Grandmaster wanted to communicate with the power of heaven and earth, he was also banned and it was difficult to use it!
In desperation, the two of them could only attack again and again with their own true qi. One after another, white qi came and went, attacking Xu Huanlong and his wife again and again, with great momentum.
Bang!
The aftermath of the first attack alone razed the entire hall to the ground, and the top, walls, tables, chairs, etc., were torn apart by the qi, flying in all directions, and then being refined into ashes by the blazing white true fire, and drifting away.
At this moment, everyone was fighting, but Su Ming was alone, standing outside, and between the movements of his true qi, he avoided the white flames, and he couldn't get close.
PS: 5,000 words big chapter, there should be a more at night!
