Chapter 5 The Five Elephants Lost Heart Array
"Young master, a letter from the clan."
Cao Cao was about to go out, but he saw someone coming to report.
"Bring it." Cao Cao stretched out his hand to take the letter, and the letter was not thick, only two pieces of letterhead.
After looking at it, Cao Cao was also a little silent. The servant stood still, waiting for him to speak.
"A few months ago, was there really an angel coming?"
The servant next to him bowed down and said, "Young Master, the whole Luoyang City knows about this matter. What the lord saw with his own eyes at the time, what kind of fake. If the young master doesn't believe it, he can ask the eldest son of the Yuan family, the eldest son of the Yuan family that day."
Speaking of the oracle, the servant's eyebrows fluttered.
"Alright, you go down first!" Cao Cao waved his hand.
"Whoa." The servant retreated.
"Wait!" Cao Cao shouted at him again.
The servant said, "What else does the young master command?" ”
"Is the messenger still there?" Cao Cao asked.
"Yes, yes." Servant.
Cao Cao: "Okay, you wait here for a while, I will write a letter, and you tell him to send him back to the clan tomorrow." By the way, let the account office reward some money as appropriate, and it is hard to run back and forth. ”
"Yes, young master!" The servant answered, but he was not jealous, for he did not know how many people here were jealous of his position.
Half a month later, Peiguo County.
There are two major clans here, one is called Xiahou, and the other is called Cao. This Cao family is said to be the prime minister Cao Shen in the early Western Han Dynasty, and the person in charge Cao Song was surnamed Xiahou in his early years, and later became the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng before changing his surname to Cao. The two emperors of Huan Ling in the Eastern Han Dynasty all had eunuchs for chaos, so the Cao family also had a bad reputation among the scholars.
A fast horse drove into Qian County at a very fast speed and entered Cao Mansion.
There are several brothers in Cao Mansion who are competing in the martial arts arena. When the servants brought the letters, they gathered around.
"What does the eldest brother say?" Cao Hong asked.
Xiahoudun said: "The eldest brother has made a meritorious contribution to the yellow scarf, and he has been promoted to the prime minister of Jinan, and it is estimated that he is already on the way." However, he said that my brothers and I can go to Zhongnan Mountain to give it a try, and if we are lucky enough to get that immortal fate, it is also a blessing for our Cao and Xiahou families. ”
Xiahou Yuan said: "It's been a few months, and the eldest brother has just set off?" ”
"I guess it's another battle in the court, I don't need to worry about this matter, and I can't manage it. Talking about going to Chang'an Zhongnan Mountain, we all have this thought. It's better to go together. Cao Ren smiled bitterly.
The older generation of the Xiahou family has not done much, and the Cao family, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, is still in Luoyang, although he is not an official, he is still the Marquis of the Han Dynasty. Cao Song also served as a lieutenant in his early years, and although he has retired, he still has a lot of contacts. Now the two families are officials, and Cao Song's vein is the most prominent. Among the younger generations, Cao Cao's prestige is extremely high.
See this epistle. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They are afraid that the eldest brother will not agree, if they sneak in the past but do not enter the immortal gate, how will they see the eldest brother in the future?
Cao Hong said: "In this case, then I will pack my luggage." I'll leave tomorrow. ”
"Isn't it too early?" Xiahou Yuan said.
Cao Ren smiled bitterly: "It's been more than half a month since the news came to Qian County. Brother Wen that Jingzhou and Yangzhou have already set off. If you don't go, if you enter the fairy gate in the future, you will be a generation late because of the delay on the road. Why bother? ”
"Well, I'll go back to the house and clean up. Wait for tomorrow's fifth watch, I'll leave later! ”
Cao Hong finished speaking. The girl ran away. This son has an impatient personality, even more impatient than Xiahoudun. Xiahoudun didn't say much, and pulled Xiahouyuan away.
Cao Ren smiled bitterly: "These guys are walking quite fast." ”
In Shu County, Lujiang, Zhou Yu also came by car. In Jingzhou, all major families have children who go to Chang'an. Jizhou, Yizhou, Youzhou
The fastest to come were the military generals and scribes from Liangzhou and Sili, and many of them from various clans also came.
In a short period of time, tens of thousands of people gathered again at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
"This, when will this immortal open the mountain gate? I've been waiting for more than an hour, and I haven't seen the Immortal Venerable come out. A white-robed scholar said anxiously.
Someone next to him snorted coldly: "It's only been an hour, and your sincerity is not enough." ”
"I wonder when Brother Tai came here?" The white-robed scholar asked.
The man sneered: "I came out of Chang'an City yesterday and spent the night here. ”
"Unitary time? The sun is about to set, dare to call it early? Lao Tzu came yesterday. A strong man snorted coldly.
"Hehe, what are you talking about? The earliest, it is said that he did not return to Chang'an ten days ago, and called servants to build some thatched huts here to live here. Another scribe laughed.
"I don't know who Brother Tai is?" The white-robed scholar asked.
The scribe waved his hand, said no more, and disappeared into the crowd a moment later. The scribe walked some distance and suddenly stopped.
"Father-in-law! The son-in-law inquired about some news, but it was mostly useless. The scribe smiled wryly.
In front of him, there were more than 30 strong men, and the figure of the head was afraid of no less than 200 catties. Everyone was dressed in iron armor, and sitting down was a Liangzhou horse. The scribes and warriors around them did not dare to approach them, for fear of angering this group of killing gods.
"What's the news, just say it." Dahan asked.
The scribe smiled bitterly: "The time is right, ten days after what the Immortal Venerable said, it is today." It's just that the Immortal Venerable has never been on the road, but I don't know why. Among these people, some came today, and some stayed here ten days ago, in addition to my people from Liangzhou, Yongzhou, and Sili, there are also people from Yuzhou, Yizhou, and Merge Prefecture. ”
"They're fast! Hmph, the old man has been dominating the world for decades, and that horn is also known as an immortal apprentice, but in the end he died of illness. The old man wants to see, what is this so-called Immortal Venerable" The big man snorted coldly.
"Father-in-law!" The scribe suddenly shouted.
The big man knew that he had lost his words, so he didn't say anything more.
After a while, someone at the front shouted: "Xianzun is estimated to have overslept, why don't I wait to go up the mountain first." There are people who can't wait. Come with me up the mountain to meet the Immortal Venerable. ”
"Let's go!"
Suddenly, some people echoed, mostly people with some martial arts.
"That man, don't walk blindly." A middle-aged civil servant shouted.
The man shouted, "Why, is this mountain still too up?" There is a road leading to the top of the mountain, and I will walk on my own. ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for the scribe in official uniform to speak, and he had already climbed up.
Seeing that the others were also a little moved, the middle-aged scribe shouted loudly: "This official is Chang'an Taishou Yuan's legacy, you should be calm and don't be impatient, listen to what this official says." This mountain has already been laid down by the Immortal Venerable. If the Immortal Venerable is not opened, it will not be able to enter. Don't be impatient, Immortal Venerable said that if you open the mountain and accept disciples today, you will definitely not lose your trust in the world. ”
As soon as these words came out, many people stopped again. The immortal family's methods are mysterious, that's for sure, but whether it's true or not, no one has ever seen it, right? So, let's wait and see!
After almost a stick of incense, the big men who had gone up the mountain before came down the mountain with embarrassed faces. This speed. It was as if there were wolves chasing after him.
"The ten-day period has arrived, open the mountain gate!"
Above the sky, a majestic voice rang out.
Suddenly, something fell from the sky.
"Boom!"
The earth shook. At the foot of the mountain, there was a stone monument. I saw six quaint characters written on it: Enter the fairy gate, get the truth.
"This thing fell from the sky, but it has just been buried in the ground. It's not biased or oblique, it's really an immortal means! Someone sighed.
"Immortal Gate, Immortal Gate. Can you really become an immortal? "There are people who yearn for it.
The scene is a bit noisy.
Immediately, a young man appeared in the sky, and he saw his mouth move slightly, but his voice reached everyone's ears: "Those who can go up to the top of the mountain can enter the fairy gate!" Don't crowd it, don't think about other bad people. ”
"It's a little immortal, it's an apprentice of Immortal Venerable." Someone recognized the identity of Broken Waves.
"What's so hard about that? This mountain is no more than a thousand zhang at most, and it only takes half an hour to go up. Said a strong man, the first to climb the mountain.
Someone takes the lead, and the back naturally swarms up, so I'm afraid that it will be late.
"Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji, the three of you open the way ahead."
"Yes, my lord!"
The thirty or so men dismounted, leaving ten men to take care of them, and the rest followed.
"This mountain is an aura. Just go up to the top of the mountain? Could it be that there are many tests set in it? I, Jia Xu, have been in turmoil for half my life, and I saw what this immortal venerable is like. ”
A gray-clad scribe smiled faintly and stepped forward.
"Immortal Venerable, my Yuelai also" A big man rushed forward.
A large group of people rushed up the mountain, and it was inevitable that there would be some congestion. If it weren't for the broken waves, I don't know how many people would have been squeezed down the mountain, and how many people would have been trampled to death. The road up the mountain is just like that, no more than a zhang wide, and there are five or seven people side by side, but there are tens of thousands of people here.
Fortunately, among these tens of thousands, more than half of them came to see the play. There are still some of them who do not move, wait and see first, and even those who are physically weak scribes do not dare to squeeze in, they are also afraid of such a scale of crowding.
After a while, I suddenly saw several more people in a clearing.
These people were confused and seemed to be a little distracted. When they came to their senses, a voice came.
"Hey, me, why am I here? Didn't I go to the mountains just now? I've just been right, I just seem to have seen a lot, what are those? ”
"There are bears blocking the way on the mountain!"
"No, it's obviously a tiger, a giant tiger, the boss is big, and I'm afraid it's ten zhang long."
"It's not a tiger, it's a wolf, a pack of wolves, no less than 10,000."
All kinds of words are sounding here, and they are said differently.
A smile flashed in Broken Wave's eyes, a little illusion trick actually scared them like this, this illusion array is really good, I don't know where the master learned such a formation, I will learn it in the future.
On the top of the mountain, Xu Fu also curiously asked Bai Feiyun about this formation. It's a that I know I know, and I can't say it.
This formation is called the Five Elephants Mystery Heart Array, which was obtained by Bai Feiyun from the Tibetan Heaven Pagoda, and it cost a thousand merit points. At the same time, he also exchanged a lot of formations and experience methods for alchemy and refining.
In the Heavenly Desolate World, he also discovered many of his shortcomings. Anyway, there is a lot of time, and it can be used to practice these miscellaneous arts. (To be continued......)
