Chapter 17: Deus Ex the Siege

One

The appearance of the black dragon this time, neither spewing clouds nor flying sand and rocks, he suddenly broke in with a group of ordinary people. His abnormal behavior made the two fairies in the room, Zixia and Shang An, feel a little incomprehensible. They all knew that the demon was a guy who liked to be alone and domineering, and his unusual behavior this time must be unusual, so they had to be more vigilant.

"Evil beast, how did you force out the 'Demon Suppression Diamond Needle' that I threw into your body? and how did you recover your mana? Shang An still didn't give up on asking.

"Ha--- ha--- ha! The black dragon said arrogantly, "However, then again, the 'Demon Suppression Vajra Needle' you threw is really powerful, if it weren't for this Holy Monarch using the Displacement Dafa to move the acupuncture points away in time, I'm afraid my thousand-year-old Dao would have been ruined long ago." ”

"You're cunning. Shang An was very angry and asked again, "Let me ask you again, where is the child you took away now, and what happened to you?"

"Don't worry, the game isn't over yet, he'll be fine. The black dragon replied.

At this time, Mrs. Luo, who was in extreme grief and hatred, suddenly rushed over insanely, grabbed the black dragon's clothes, and shouted loudly, "You return my Zhi'er, quickly return my Zhi'er to me, return it to me." He's just an ignorant child, and I beg you to give him back! As long as you give me back my ambitions, you can let me do anything. ”

"Ha--- ha--- what a touching expression!" the black dragon asked in a strange way, "Do you really want to get back to your Zhi'er?"

"Yes. I beg you to return Zhi'er to me!"

"Hmph, okay! No problem. ”

The black dragon's various abnormal behaviors made the two fairies Zixia and Shang An turn from slight worry to extreme nervousness. They watched Madame Luo kowtow and bow down to the demon like pounding garlic, so they clenched the divine sword in their hands, ready to attack at any time.

"Hey, I said, Holy Monarch, who are you helping here?" Fang Dongsheng asked a little confused.

"Shut up. After the black dragon scolded Fang Dongsheng sharply, he turned three hundred and sixty degrees and said to Mrs. Luo, "Okay--- okay, you don't have to rush to thank me first, this deal between you and me is conditional." ”

"On what terms? I'll promise you everything. ”

"Really? Not kidding?"

"Of course not. I'm a mother, how can I joke with my own son?"

"That's right!ahhhh------h

At this time, everyone stepped forward to persuade Madame Luo not to believe everything the devil said, but out of her mother's instinct, she still chose to make a decision.

"Okay, what's the condition, you can say it quickly!"

"Okay, refreshing. The black dragon carefully looked at her complexion, face and skin, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Actually, the conditions of this Holy Monarch are very simple, as long as you are willing to sacrifice the essence qi in your body, your mother and son can be reunited again." Well, such conditions are not excessive!"

"What? That's not too much, so what do you say is too much? Shang An was very angry and pointed at the black dragon with his divine sword and said, "Mrs. Luo, you must not promise him, this evil beast has bad intentions, he wants to use Zhi'er as a cover to deceive the Zhengyang Essence Qi in your body." Did you know that if he succeeds, your life will end in an instant. You can't promise him!"

After hearing Shang An's words, everyone stepped forward to dissuade Madam Luo from agreeing to the devil's conditions. But because she missed her own flesh and blood too much, she couldn't care so much, so she agreed to his conditions.

"Okay, ha--- ha--- ha! The black dragon suddenly said in ecstasy, "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to cooperate with this Holy Monarch to practice Dafa, your Zhi'er will immediately return to you safe and sound." ”

"Don't believe his nonsense, he is lying to you, even if you agree to all his conditions, it is impossible for your Zhi'er to return to you, you don't want to help the abuse, and end up with a bamboo basket and a wasted end!" Shang An tried his best to stop him.

"I don't care so much, I just want to get back to my Zhi'er now, I beg you not to stop it any more, okay?" Mrs. Luo suddenly raised her pear blossom and rained face and said to the black dragon, "I want to see my son one last time, right now." ”

"Okay, no problem. The black dragon readily agreed to her request, and then waved his left arm forward, and the wide, long sleeve suddenly expanded rapidly in front of everyone, until it formed a black sleeve hole that could accommodate a child to enter and exit at will. Soon, in the enlarged sleeve hole, Luo Chengzhi, who was surrounded by a thin halo all over his body, came out. Although such a thin halo restricted his movements, it did not affect the conversation between their mother and son in the slightest.

"Mother, come and save me, I'm really scared, I don't want to stay in that dark and terrifying place anymore, mother. Luo Chengzhi said with tears streaming down his face.

"Zhi'er, don't be afraid, my mother will be able to save you soon, don't cry, Zhi'er, you have to be strong, and when you grow up, you must avenge your father and mother!" Mrs. Luo said to herself, "Xianggong, wait for me." You and I will soon be able to see each other, let us walk together on the road to the underworld. ”

"Mother------ mother, don't leave Zhi'er, mother, Zhi'er is so scared! ”

"Yes!" Tang Ao replied casually, then stepped forward to question Mrs. Luo, "Sister-in-law, how can you just leave Zhi'er and our brothers and sisters?

"Yes, sister-in-law, can you bear to leave such a lovely Zhi'er behind? He is only four or five years old, and he can't live without his mother. Anne also stepped forward and tried to persuade her, "Besides, even if you sacrifice your life, that demon will not keep his word and release Zhi'er." Sister-in-law, don't be stupid, can you be sober?"

The black dragon urged Mrs. Luo impatiently and said, "Okay, enough, have you finished speaking, do you agree or not." If you want your son to live, you have to give something. Don't hesitate any longer, or he'll be dead after staying in this thin-air 'Soul Eater Light Shield' for a long time. ”

"You ------ you despicable brute, you are about to let my Zhi'er go, I promise you everything, I beg you to release my son, the little woman is willing to exchange her life for her life, and will not break her word. ”

"Ha--- ha--- great, this holy monarch will soon be practicing magic skills, it's really good. "The old mistake of the black dragon has been committed again, and he has become arrogant and oblivious again.

Shang An knew that the opportunity had come again, how could he let it go easily, so he quickly turned around and swung a palm violently at the black dragon's left arm, but was discovered by the demon. I saw that his right hand swung outward like lightning, blocking the palm, and then quickly raised his left arm, and soon, Luo Chengzhi, who was trapped in the "Soul Devouring Light Wave Cover", was easily put into his sleeve hole by him. Suddenly, someone blew out the light on the square table, and the room was dark, and the two sides took the opportunity to fight.

Three

In the chaos, Tang Ao, Cheng Chang, Wei Siwen and others still used the old method by taking advantage of the moonlight outside the window, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, forming a circle to protect Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Luo, Lin, Xu Chengzhi and Annie, and rushed out together until they rushed out of the inn and could no longer move forward.

In the guest room, only Zixia and Shang An were left fighting with the black dragon, due to the small space, they did not summon their respective divine beasts, but just stood around the square table with their eyes closed and confronted.

I saw that all of them were muttering their own incantations as if they were chanting scriptures. In an instant, the light in the room flickered, and the dim space began to distort continuously, and soon the three of them were swallowed up by a virtual world that seemed to be nothing.

In this ever-changing virtual space, they still stand motionless, like three wax figures floating in the vision space, everything seems so fantastic and wonderful. The virtual illusion changes irregularly, sometimes stormy, sometimes snowy, sometimes blooming, sometimes dark clouds rolling and flying sand and rocks. All the changes in the space seem so impermanent and ephemeral, like a meteor falling into the night sky.

Suddenly, the two fairies, Zixia and Shang An, in this unpredictable space, quickly moved their bodies and changed directions, so as to confuse each other and attack at the right time. The black dragon knew that they were about to attack, and they had to summon the demonic beast to prepare for the battle immediately. Thinking of this, he still hovered in the virtual space, holding the magic battle, and slowly spreading his arms in a zigzag. Immediately afterward, he recited aloud with demonic vigour: "Ula --- Ulla! ”

"Hey, evil animal, you can't put that big stupid worm out to scare people every time you fight!" Shang An said with a loud voice dozens of times, "If you have the ability, you can fight with our two sisters for hundreds of rounds with real knives and guns, and don't keep being a turtle with a shrunken head." ”

Black Dragon is a man with multiple personalities, not only with a brutal temperament, but also with a moody temperament. The last thing he could accept was that someone flouted his magic and authority, especially his enemies. After hearing Shang An's words, he was very angry, and in a fit of anger, he accepted the spell, stopped all the actions of summoning the demon dragon beast, held his wand, and cursed and roared in this virtual space like crazy.

His crazy actions made the surrounding images extremely terrifying and bloody, and the smell of resentment and death filled the air. His evil thoughts turned this virtual space born from his heart into a terrible hell in an instant. In his inner world, there is boundless loneliness and melancholy everywhere.

In fact, there is also a good memory in his heart, that is, he was the same ordinary woman before he became a demon, unforgettable love, but because it has been sealed for too long, this beautiful memory begins to be like a black and white photo from the past, and a certain picture seems a little blurry, but it can still appear relatively completely in this virtual space. These thoughts and memories in his heart, in the moment after his madness, were completely exposed to Zixia and Shang An's eyes.

The black dragon knew that his momentary negligence had completely exposed his weaknesses, and if he didn't kill them immediately, he was afraid that he would become a big problem for himself in the future, so he was ready to fight a quick battle and kill the other party by surprise. I saw that he quickly threw the wand in his hand towards Zixia and Shang An's chest, and at the same time, he kept reciting incantations in his mouth. Suddenly, the wand that was thrown turned into several sharp knives, which quickly passed through the virtual space, until the chests of the two fairies automatically stopped passing, as if they were intercepted by some kind of elastic cover, and all of them lost their rapid penetration.

"Hmph, you underestimate our two sisters too much. Shang An stood in the golden light and said triumphantly, "Why, is it so easy to kill people as soon as your weaknesses are exposed? ”

"Black Dragon, having such good memories in your heart can fully prove that you are not a curable, mad devil. Zixia also stood in the golden light cover and said bitterly, "I advise you to put down the bloody butcher's knife as soon as possible, abandon evil and follow good, and leave the demon world from now on, and cultivate yourself and enlighten yourself." ”

Zixia's patient admonition made the black dragon, who was in a difficult choice between reason and ambition, very painful, almost on the verge of collapse. He hung frantically in the dark space, and shouted: "Ah! you give me a mouth, don't say it again---- don't say it again, ah! I'm in so much pain, my heart is about to break, ah——"

"Sister, what kind of nerves is he having?" Shang An asked puzzled.

"Don't you see that his mind is very confused?" Zixia said as she slowly raised a slender jade hand and stroked her hair, "Right now, his good heart is fighting against his demons. He was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. ”

"Sister, I'm afraid this statement is wrong, right?" Shang An asked again with some disbelief, "This evil beast is the holy monarch of the Black Sea Realm of the Demon Domain, and he often surrounds himself with demons, and his conscience has long been extinguished, how can such a big devil have a good heart?"

"No, he has. Zixia retorted, "All the spirits in the universe are born from the heart and destroyed by the heart, there is no distinction between the Three Realms and the Six Realms, whether it is a god or a demon, they all have a good heart and an evil bad heart." When good intentions occupy evil bad intentions, they will do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and on the contrary, they will go astray and do things that will cause misery to their lives. As the saying goes, the true and good are born from the heart, and the true and evil are also born from the heart. ”

"Okay, sister, don't talk about these profound truths anymore, okay?" Shang An suddenly asked quirkily, "Sister, it can't be that you did it when you were admonishing that evil animal, right?"

"No, I didn't do anything. Zixia replied naturally, "It's entirely due to his own carelessness, because of his resentment, that some dusty memories have been stirred up in his heart for a long time." And he himself does not know how to face and choose, and he has a hard time choosing between due reason and greedy ambition, so he is miserable. In fact, there are traces of love in his heart, but he is controlled by his own demons and is unwilling to accept it for a while. In fact, he loves his lady very much. ”

Shang An stared intently at the image of the black dragon and a young woman in love in the virtual space, and said in surprise: "I really didn't expect that such a big devil who kills people without blinking an eye actually knows how to love, it's incredible." ”

"That's the power of love. Zixia said slowly, "It can not only make a ruthless demon lord who has fallen into the path of demons suffer the pain of heartbreak, but it can also bring him a chance to mend his ways." ”

"Sister, do you think he can still reform himself?"

"Of course he can, as long as he still has love in his heart. ”

"After talking about it for a long time, what is this love? How can it be so powerful?"

"Love------, may be a necessary condition for the interdependence and co-existence of all living beings. Maybe it's a North Star that often hangs in the night sky!Who knows?" Zixia replied in a daze, "I'm afraid that even the old moon and the matchmaker who are in charge of karma will not be able to answer your questions correctly, let alone my sister!"

"Hey, after talking about it for a long time, it turns out that my sister doesn't know what this love is!" Shang An said with a sigh.

"Okay, sister, I'll talk about this later. Zixia suddenly said as if she sensed something important, "It's not good, the third sister is still outside, the situation is very dangerous, and she needs our protection, go quickly, get out of here." ”

"And what about him?"

His mind was in such a mess, he no longer had any combat effectiveness, don't worry about him, go. ”

Just as the two sisters were about to leave this ever-changing virtual world, they were stunned by the eerie and terrifying laughter, and the beautiful images in the virtual space suddenly returned to their original appearance, sometimes stormy, sometimes snowy, sometimes blooming, and then the dark clouds rolled and flew away.

"You want to go, it's not that easy. The black dragon stood in the virtual space again with a fierce god and said, "You don't want to stir up the dusty memories in the heart of this Holy Monarch again, because this Holy Monarch has already sealed them in the Infinity Seal together with my own heart, and it is up to the Great Demon God to dispose of them. Now I am the true Saint Monarch of the Black Sea Realm. Ha--- ha--- ha!"

"Sister, is it possible for him to reform now?"

"It's hard to say. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you're dead, look at the tricks. With that, the black dragon quickly cast a spell and withdrew his wand. In an instant, Black Dragon, Zixia and Shang An summoned their respective spirit beasts again, and they fought fiercely in this ever-changing space.

Five

At the same time that their hostile sides were fighting inextricably in this projectile land, Wu Sansi, who volunteered to go to Yangzhou to be the governor in front of the Empress Dowager Wu after the war, ordered someone to fly a pigeon to pass a letter to Wang Naxiang as soon as he entered the city, and ordered him to pay more attention to the young girls around him.

Why did Wu Sansi give the order to Wang Naxiang to kill Anne? Does he have a grudge against Anne? Of course not. The main reason is that it is because of jealousy and hatred and the struggle for power that he has the idea of killing people with a knife.

With the bright moonlight and the swaying fire at the city gates, a black and white carrier pigeon quickly streaked across the night sky. Immediately afterward, it slowly landed on a silver jade plaque worn by the king's waist, and kept flapping its wings as if to maintain its balance.

Wang Naxiang raised his hands and slowly approached the carrier pigeon, and suddenly he stretched his hands forward and grabbed it. Then, with one hand, he held the pigeon's neck and abdomen tightly, and with the other hand pulled out the paper scroll tied to the pigeon's leg, and after unfolding it and looking at it a few times, he burned the paper roll with a somewhat panicked expression. At this time, Wang Naxiang subconsciously ordered a general standing beside him to go to the south gate to find Li County Order, wanting him to do this fateful errand.

Just as the general was about to leave, less than 200 meters away from the Beicheng Defense Area, there was a sudden chaotic sound of killing, screaming, and the cry of a baby.

"General, what's going on?" the general asked, a little apprehensive.

"I really underestimated their strength, it seems that Brother Fang has encountered a strong enemy. Wang Naxiang said with a frown.

"General, did the general go to the South City Gate to summon Li County Order?"

"No need. Then the king then commanded the general, "Quickly, order the archers to quickly block the major roads and city gates, and never let go of a single rebel." ”

"Yes, General. After the general answered, he kept saying in a loud voice, "The general has an order, the special archers should quickly block the major intersections and city gates, and must not let go of a chaotic party, if there is a violation of military law." ”

It didn't take long for the entire North City Gate defense area to be blocked by archers, which can be said to be airtight. Of course, soon the heads of the other city gates followed suit, concentrating the existing archers to tightly block their respective defense areas, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Fang Dongsheng's hundred-man brigade finally failed to capture Tang Ao and Cheng Chang and others, but instead allowed them to break out of the siege and attack the northern city defense area.

"Stop---- everyone don't rush forward, stop, don't move forward. Tang Ao stopped everyone and shouted loudly.

"The enemy is about to catch up, why don't you run away? Ah! What are you waiting for at the city gate?" Du Qiuren asked breathlessly.

"Yes, Xianggong, what happened?" asked Lin Shi while hugging Tang Xiaoshan, who was crying.

"Don't you really see that there are a lot of shaking fire points ahead?" Tang Ao asked them very seriously.

"My eldest brother is right, there is indeed a large group of people with torches lying in ambush fifty meters ahead. Anne hugged Tang Xiangyi, who was crying, and said in a deep voice.

"What are you afraid of? How can they stop us with their wine bags and rice bags? Cheng Chang said with a bloody face.

"Don't be impulsive, the reason why they will stay there as soon as possible and wait for us to take the bait must be prepared, everyone must not act rashly!" Tang Ao persuaded.

"Ha--- ha--- ha!" After a burst of wild laughter from far and near, the king and the prime minister surrounded him with a large group of archers and pikemen, and said very wildly, "yes! These archers are all for you, surrender and stop putting up useless resistance. ”

Six

After Cheng Chang heard Wang Naxiang's words, he scolded angrily: "Fart! You dog who sells your lord for glory, the governor is as kind to you, but you don't know how to reciprocate, but you have the heart to murder." Are you still a fucking person? Now the governor's wish has not been fulfilled, the revenge has not been avenged, and you want me to surrender later, you are dreaming. ”

"Hmph! Wang Naxiang said viciously, "The so-called 'good birds choose trees to perch', and submitting to the court is a move that conforms to the mandate of heaven, and if you dare to disobey, there is only one way to die." And from ancient times to the present, you are the prince of the winner, the loser Kou, you are so ignorant of the current situation, you don't know the severity, you are really ignorant to the extreme. ”

"You're right, we're ignorant enough, but do you think you're smart? Tang Ao stepped forward and retorted, "Do you really think that as long as you submit to the imperial court, the imperial court will be able to reuse you? Hmph, they just treat you as a dog, don't be so arrogant." Reading on the love of you and I acquaintance, Tang advises you, in today's troubled times, everything is changeable, the days are changeable, people's hearts are changeable, and the current situation can also change, when can you get your will, it is better to put down the butcher's knife as soon as possible and abandon greed and travel everywhere. ”

"Hmph, I'm not as ambitious as you, I just like to travel around. ”

While Tang Ao and Wang Naxiang were arguing fiercely, Fang Dongsheng panicked and took a group of remnants of the defeated soldiers, escaped from a cloud of colored bubble-like luminous bodies, and desperately ran towards the northern city defense area, shouting loudly as he ran: "Quick------ quick, run ,------ he ------ them coming, they are coming." ”

When the archers and pikemen saw this horrific scene, they immediately panicked, and their formations began to be chaotic.

"Hmph! It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose. Wang Naxiang suddenly shouted loudly again, "Don't mess up, everyone, keep in formation, that's just a trick for the enemy." Listen to me, if anyone dares to take a step back, he will not be forgiven. Archers ready. ”

With Wang Naxiang's order, hundreds of archers began to quickly change their formations according to the original plan, from the ring array just now to the gossip array. Then they all drew their bows and waited for the order to release the arrows.

"Wait. Anne suddenly stood up and held the princess Jin Ling and said, "I am the princess Jin Yao of Her Majesty's royal seal of the Queen of Heaven, I see that you are impatient and dare to release arrows." All to the princess to step down. ”

"Ha--- ha--- this is really interesting, there are really people who claim to be the princess of Jin Yao!" Wang Naxiang laughed wildly and said, "Everyone listen to me, this girl dares to pretend to be a princess, it is really an unforgivable sin." Give me arrows, and leave no arrows. ”

At this moment of crisis, the yin and yang round divine power in Anne's body suddenly rushed through the cave gate on its own, and shot out from her Yintang acupoint, quickly forming a glowing semi-circular cover in the dim world, blocking all the feather arrows that were shot, and the people who were protected in the cover could not hear anything except for some screams around them, so that everyone always had a feeling of being in a vision space, including Anne herself.

"Great, the third sister finally broke through the Jiaoxue Pass in Ren Duzhong on her own, and truly has the power of yin and yang. Zixia said very happily in the colorful bubble-like glowing body.

"Evil beast, do you hear?" Shang An said to the black dragon with confidence, "Now that we have another helper, I advise you to hand over the time ring as soon as possible, and follow us back to Heaven to be punished, otherwise you will be scattered and you will not be able to die." ”

"Hmph! It is simply wishful thinking to ask this Holy Monarch to hand over the time ring and go up with you to be punished. The black dragon still retorted domineeringly, "It is still unclear who killed the deer, so it will be too early for you to say such a big thing." I'll come back to you, we'll meet later, ha---haha---ha!"

After a few shrill laughter from the black dragon, it turned into a black wind again, and disappeared into the colorful bubbles unconsciously. When all this returned to the darkness of the night, they found that all around them were soldiers who had been shot by the rebounding feather arrows, and everyone knew that the opportunity had come, so they rushed out of the north gate under the leadership of Shang An.

"Brother Fang, chase after them, don't let them run away. The king, who had been wounded by an arrow, cried out.
