Volume 1 The Five Gates' Grievances Section 1: The Phantom Gate Tribulation
1911 Beiping City, Early Morning, Headquarters, Commandant's Office
Peng~!!! The sound of something being broken came, followed by an angry scolding, bastard~~~ What are you eating, it's been half a month, and even a small cloud mountain hasn't been knocked down, what's the use of Lao Tzu raising you waste, this little thing can't be done, do you want Lao Tzu to personally lead the troops.
The commander was angry, there was something strange about the Cloud Misty Mountain, every time we attacked the Cloud Misty Mountain, there would be a lot of fog on the mountain, and we couldn't see where they were, but every time we retreated, the white fog would slowly fade. When the fog clears, we will attack again, and the white fog will be like guarding the people in the cottage, plus this cloud mountain has complex terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we can't attack it at all!
Didn't Lao Tzu already transfer 5 cannons for you, and if you can't attack it, you can't adjust the cannons when there is no fog and use the cannons to attack.
Hearing Commander Chen mention the cannon, the adjutant's face changed, and then cold sweat flowed down his temples, and he said tremblingly, Si~~Si~~ Commander, that ~~ After the five cannons were pulled over, they blew themselves up when the first attack failed, and even the gunner was killed.
What did you say? Exploded! How could it be blown up, it was snatched from the Japanese, how could it be, what is going on.
Commander, that's right, we decided to retreat temporarily after a long time of attacking, and wait for the white fog to dissipate, and then decide on the next attack plan after seeing the situation, but when the white fog dissipated, a soldier reported to me that three gunners had died, so I hurried over, but when I just saw the shadow of the cannon before it had time to get closer, the five cannons exploded again, and the soldiers resting around were also affected, resulting in the death of thirty-four people!
Damn~ Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil anymore, they can still have the magic power of heaven and earth, you go and call one battalion and two battalions to gather, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, even if it is a fairy Lao Tzu wants to use a cannon to blow you back to the sky.
Be!!! The adjutant replied and hurried to gather the men of the first and second battalions.
Cloud Mountain!
An eagle chirp of "resounding and curbing the clouds" sounded in the sky, a white eagle flashed in the sky, four white figures in the mountains and forests rushed towards the cottage on the top of Yunwu Mountain, not long after, they had already come to the cottage door, the guards guarding the cottage did not see who it was, a diamond-shaped object smashed at the guards, followed by a roar, "get out of the way", the guards reached out and grabbed the waist card of the door, when they saw that it was carved with the "Linglong ball" and quickly got out of the way, the four rushed in, Run all the way in the direction of the ancestral hall.
Outside the ancestral hall, a housekeeper who looked at a seventy-year-old man wearing a white robe was walking around the door of the ancestral hall with an anxious face, and from time to time he looked outside the village, and saw someone walking towards this side and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, Young Master, you are back, everyone is waiting for you in the ancestral hall.
Meng Linglong asked Uncle Zhang what was going on while walking towards the ancestral hall, wasn't there a cloud and mist outside the cottage to cover people's ears and eyes, how could it be discovered?
The young master is like this, a month ago, two Japanese officers came up the mountain to visit, it seems that they came to ask for something, the door master took them to the side hall and went in, and they left in a hurry not long after, I don't know what they talked about, and then there were rumors in Beiping City that there were bandits in Yunwu Mountain, and after the news reached the headquarters, there would be spies on the mountain every day to inquire about the news, until half a month ago, A junior in the door because of a moment of greed to sneak down the mountain when the spies found out, the next day after the army began to come to the mountain to suppress bandits, this half a month has been attacking our mountain gate all the time, if it is not guarded by the cloud array, the cottage has long been captured by them, a few days ago even they even pulled the cannon over to attack the cottage, if it wasn't for the door master and the three elders found the cannon in advance, in a hurry, they could only risk their lives and destroy the five cannons by the mist, the cottage may have been blown to the ground, It's also because the door master and the three elders were seriously injured in the process of destroying the cannon, so go in and take a look!
At this time, Meng Linglong and the others had already walked to the door of the ancestral hall, turned around and said to the three people who came together, turned their heads and pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and walked in, after closing the door, they stepped forward to salute everyone, and then walked to the old man who was sitting in the first place and stood still.
The old man at the head said with a pale face and weak breath, I called you over today, I think you also know why, Commander Chen's troops have been attacking my Phantom Gate for half a month, and even brought 5 cannons to come last time, this is not to destroy my Phantom Gate and vow not to give up! Commander Chen will definitely send a large force or personally lead the team to attack, cough ~ cough ~ The old man coughed twice.
Meng Linglong, who was standing behind her, heard the old man's words, and tears had begun to roll in her eyes, and when she saw the old man coughing, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her and said, Dad, are you okay! But when he saw the blood coughed up from the old man's hand, tears couldn't stop flowing out of his eyes, and he shouted, Someone! Go and call the doctor.
The elders in the ancestral hall were also startled, and got up and shouted to open the door and call for someone.
The old man sitting at the top did stretch out his hand to stop everyone and said, all sit down, sit down, I'm fine, Long'er, you help me sit down.
Meng Linglong didn't dare to disobey the old man's words, so she had to help him sit down, but she really couldn't stop her tears.
After the old man sat down, he said, this time my magic door suffered this catastrophe is really unfortunate, but my magic door can not be destroyed, so I want to pass the position of the door master before I go, Linglong in the door when you are watching Linglong grow up his personality does not need me to say more, outside is like a fish in water, can make good decisions, do not panic, do not mess up, I believe that after I leave, the magic door in the hands of the dragon can be more brilliant and prosperous, I hope that after I leave, you can assist the dragon more, let him grow up as soon as possible, I'm here to ask you as a father! After the old man said this, he fell to his knees as soon as his legs were forced.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man, and said, "What are you doing, master, this phantom gate is also our home, even if you don't say it, we will do our best to protect the young master and protect my phantom gate for a hundred years."
The old man was supported by everyone and sat back again, cough ~ moment ~ cough ~ Before the old man was the most stable, he coughed violently, and the old man fainted without coming up in one breath, Meng Linglong was startled, and hurriedly shouted, come on, carry the door owner to the bed in the inner room, and call all the doctors in the door.
Outside the door, the people heard the sound and hurriedly got busy, some pushed the door and carried the old man to the bed in the inner room, and some hurried to call the doctor, three or two minutes later, five or six doctors hurriedly came to the bed to diagnose and treat the old man, and after half an hour, the old man finally woke up leisurely and said, you all go down, I am fine for the time being, Long'er, you leave me with something to say to you.
Everyone knew that the old man was going to explain the future to his son, so everyone went out silently without saying anything, and Steward Zhang, who finally went out, closed the door.
Meng Linglong stepped forward and knelt in front of the old man's bed and said, Dad, you can't just leave, the Phantom Gate still needs you to sit there.
Dragons! cough ~ cough ~ It's not a big deal that people are inherently dead, Dad asked you to stay because he wanted to tell you that this Phantom Gate Catastrophe has something to do with the Japanese and the people of the Five Gates, so you should be careful outside in the future.
Father! When I came back, I heard Uncle Zhang say that the Japanese came to you to ask for things, could it be that someone from the Five Gates told them that there is Lethe River Water in the Phantom Gate?
Well! cough~cough~ They are here for the Lethe River, and one of the two is proficient in Qimen magic, I think it should be their Japanese Onmyoji, that day they came to me, when I saw the two of them, I found that one of them had a faint trace of evil on his body, so I took them to the side hall with the phantom array, and after chatting a few words in the side hall, they proposed to buy a drop of Lethe River water at a high price, cough~~cough~~ I was shocked at the time, how did they know that there was a Lethe River water in my hall, I told them at the time that I didn't know what Lethe River Water was, and there was no such thing in my Phantom Gate, but I didn't expect that the Onmyoji would suddenly attack me, fortunately, I had already taken precautions and slapped him, but I didn't expect that his hands were poisonous, I could only hurry up to force the toxin out, and the Onmyoji was shocked by me because of the palm with me, and I broke the meridians of the whole body and forcibly broke the phantom array, and the other person ran away with the Onmyoji when he saw that things were not good, and I could only watch them leave because I wanted to resist the toxin, cough~cough~Cough~ The old man coughed violently.
Meng Linglong hurriedly helped the old man with her hand, and saw that the old man was not coughing and said, This Lethe River Water is only known to the people in the Five Gates, and they want to get this Lethe Water There should be five people in the Middle Gate doing things for them, so I learned about the Lethe Water in my Phantom Gate, Dad! Rest assured, I'll look into the matter.
Guarding the water of Lethe River is the mission of my Phantom Gate for generations, in addition to the other four things that my Phantom Gate has been looking for for generations, namely Huangquan soil, the other side of the flower, and the three life stones, of which the other side of the flower is divided into two kinds, one is called the mandala flower, and the other is called the manzhu sawa, each of these five things is the existence that can make the living beings in this world miserable, which is also the biggest secret of this door, so it must not be known to outsiders, let alone allowed outsiders to get.
The old man took out a jade bottle from his bosom with a trembling hand and said, Now this Lethe River Water has been known to outsiders, and my Phantom Gate has suffered a heavy blow, I am afraid that I am no longer able to protect the Lethe River Water, I can only let you risk drinking this Lethe River Water, this Lethe River Water can only be eaten by the bloodline children of my clan, otherwise it will definitely die, and I don't know what the consequences will be after the disciples of my clan take it, no one has ever dared to try It was once said by the ancestor that my Phantom Gate Master can take this thing when the family is in trouble to ensure that this thing does not fall into the hands of others, The consequences to be borne after taking it are extremely painful, and my people are not allowed to eat it until the last resort, Long'er don't blame Dad, Dad has no way but to do this, Dad believes that you can, Long'er drink it, so that even if my Phantom Gate fails to escape this catastrophe, it can be regarded as avoiding a life disaster, and it is not in vain that my Phantom Gate has been guarding this thing for generations of ancestors and ancestors.
Meng Linglong knew that this was his father's last wish, so he had to tearfully take the jade bottle handed over by his father, did not hesitate, opened the cork, raised his head and drank it, three drops of Lechuan water just fell into Meng Linglong's mouth, Meng Linglong felt that his whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cave, followed by a piercing pain all over his body, as if thousands of steel needles were pierced on him, Meng Linglong couldn't help but roar and fainted, in the past he just fainted, there was a faint pattern on his back, this is a pattern of Bai Ze divine beast, It's like a tattoo imprinted on Meng Linglong's body.
Outside the door, everyone heard the roar and hurriedly pushed the door and walked in, when they saw Meng Linglong lying on the ground and fainted, everyone was stunned, and the four elders who came back to their senses hurriedly looked at the old man lying on the bed, but found that the old man had already choked his breath! Everyone hurriedly put Meng Linglong's room, and instructed his subordinates to prepare for the aftermath of the master.
