Chapter 075: Fire Worship City
More than half a month later, at the border between the Xia Kingdom and the Posa Empire, Tiannan.
Lin Qi followed Yuan Jiugang, first left Canglong Ridge to Taiyue City outside Taiyue Mountain, and then flew directly to Tiannan City by flying kite from Taiyue City, and then rushed from Tiannan City to a small village with no name on the border between Xia and the Posa Empire.
In the dim, leaky cabin, a shelter lamp hanging on the beam of the house gently swayed with the wind, making a "squeak" sound, and the pale yellow light and shadow were sufficient, showing that there were four people in the room.
Yuan Jiugang sat on the only chair, his head resting on the back of the chair, his nostrils facing the sky, his mouth wide open, as if he was drunk, and his demeanor was ugly and unsightly.
Lynch stood behind this person, perhaps because after three years of living a life of drinking blood, he had long forgotten etiquette, manners, or something, and he didn't care at all, as if it was ordinary.
The other two were two young spies, a man and a woman, dressed in strong suits, each with soldiers, and at first glance they were capable and shrewd, with special skills.
They respectfully knelt in front of Yuan Jiugang, explained all the information they had found out clearly and simply, and then stopped making a noise and waited quietly.
"Is all the information conclusive?"
Yuan Jiugang seemed to wake up, sat up, and asked.
"Definitely. ”
The man replied without hesitation.
Yuan Jiugang groaned and asked again, "Are there any of our people still alive?"
"Uh......"
The man glanced at the woman next to him and said, "The two cases are the same method, the men were all killed, and only the women and children were taken away. ”
Yuan Jiugang stood up, his expression was gloomy, faintly full of murderous aura, he snorted coldly, and said: "If you commit such a bloody case against my Xia people in my Xia country, if you can escape abroad, you can't escape to death! Let's set off and get rid of all the murderers, even if not one of them can be spared." ”
"Whoa!"
The two spies agreed in unison and stepped aside.
"Qi Xiu, although you are the person I value, if you want to enter my Fengshen Army, you must pass the assessment, and I can't mess with the rules. This time I went abroad to kill the enemy, and I ordered you to take the lead, if you can slash the enemy chieftain, or rescue our people, even if you pass!"
"Wow. ”
Lynch has the same example, and he should be in harmony.
He is a dead person, of course his real name is no longer usable, Yuan Jiu has just crossed the generation, and specially took another one for him, called Qi Xiu.
Xia people firmly believe in karma and fate, feng shui is worthy of public opinion, and believes that a person's name is related to the luck of life, and if it is too big, it cannot be suppressed, but it will attract disasters, and if it is too small, it will not be productive, and it will not be able to achieve anything. Yuan Jiugang probably thought so too, and he didn't take it indiscriminately, and it took a lot of brains.
The meaning of the word "Qi Xiu" is also simple and simple, Qi people, Qi family, cultivators, self-cultivation.
As the old saying goes, those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies. This is obviously to let him practice well, take care of his body, and marry a wife and start a family in the future, continuing the Qilin bloodline left by Emperor Tianwu.
However, the reason why Lynch is willing to accept this pseudonym is also his own thoughts, "Qi" and "Qi" are homophones, and "Xiu" is the name of his ancestor, the Tianwu Lin Xiu. With a surname, the same name as the hero's ancestor, such a name is good.
When the two spies heard that Yuan Jiugang actually let Qi Xiu take the lead, they both looked shocked, you look at me, I look at you, they were puzzled, but they didn't say much.
In their eyes, Lynch is just a thin child, how can he be a pioneer? You must know that although those enemies are bandits who kill people and rob money, they really have a lot of background, not to mention that they have at least three warriors who break through the martial arts realm, and there are more than 100 well-trained soldiers and nearly 200 people, all of whom are fierce warriors who kill people like hemp and use one as ten!
The four of them rode off at night, crossed the unguarded border, and went straight into the Posa Empire, heading to a medium-sized military city belonging to the country, the City of Worship.
He knew that about a year ago, there was a major robbery and murder on the Yunzhan Mountain Road, a convoy of more than 20 vehicles was attacked, and the robbers not only looted all the property, but also killed all the men, abducted women and children, and finally disappeared.
There were no clues to follow in this case for more than half a year, until two months ago, another big case occurred, two flying kites full of goods and merchants were hijacked by gangsters and fell into the territory of the Posa Empire, shocking Tiannan.
The Fengshen Army sent elite spies to take great risks to conduct an in-depth investigation, and found that the robbers had a lot to do with the Yunzhan Road case, and it was finally implemented, so the two cases were combined into one case, and Yuan Jiugang was specially sent to close the case.
......
The city defense of Baihuo City is strong and exquisite, and it is worthy of being a military city located on the border, but because it is now a peaceful era, the declining Xia State has no possibility of taking the initiative to start a war, so its defense is very lax. The four of them hid their horses and entered the city easily according to the route set in advance by the two spies.
This city is quite prosperous, in the middle of the night is not restless, standing at the head of the city and looking at it from afar, it can be seen that the street is full of people, lively and extraordinary, rather than a military city, it is better to say that it is a shopping mall.
In fact, it is also the same here, it is located at the intersection of the three kingdoms, with the Xia Kingdom in the north, the Bosa Empire in the south, and the Xingyue Empire in the west, all of which are among the nine major countries in the world, and it is natural to produce commercial prosperity.
Moreover, the internal turmoil of the stars and moons was endless, divided and merged, the war lasted for hundreds of years, and the day of the end of the war was far away, and the nobles and wealthy merchants of the stars and moons would flee to Tiannan County of the Xia Kingdom or the territory of the Posa Empire from time to time, which greatly promoted the domestic demand of many border cities, including the city of worship, and enhanced the prosperity.
Moreover, the entire empire was religious, with a strict hierarchy, the nobility indulged in pleasure, the poor suffered and the poor, and the glitz and glitz of drunkenness filled the empire, and this small frontier town was no exception.
An hour and a half after entering the city, the four of them came to a huge domed white temple in the corner of the city, and no longer moved forward, hiding in the shadows not far away.
This is the empty god temple widely believed in by the people of the Xingyue country, all over the world, but wherever the people of the Xingyue country live, there will be this kind of domed white temple, and the bandits who committed two bloody crimes against the Xia people are hiding in this empty temple.
The temple was deserted, and not a single pedestrian was to be seen, but there were samurai guards armed with scimitars in front of and behind the temple, and they were heavily guarded.
The male spy said to Yuan Jiugang: "Today is the Great Prayer Day of the Empty God Sect once every seven days, and more than 100 of them basically don't go out, and all of them stay in the temple. ”
"The opportunity is rare, and if you lose today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch it all!"
Yuan Jiugang was still drunk a moment ago, but at this time, he was bright and sober, and commanded in a deep voice: "You two guard the back door, I will guard the front door alone, and Qi Xiu is responsible for entering the temple to kill the enemy." Remember, if you are an enemy, you must not kill anyone, and not a single person will be left alive!"
This was said so murderously that Rao was a "beast" for three years and killed countless Lynch, and when he heard it, he shuddered.
The tasks of the four people were divided, and they immediately acted separately without mentioning it.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three arrows killed each other, one arrow faster than the other, each shot three guards in the throat, and they all fell to the ground and died.
The fourth guard had just sensed that something was wrong, and before he could take a closer look, Lynch appeared at his side like a ghost, and the short blade of white bone swung through, cutting flesh and bones, and slashing with a sword.
The main purpose of this operation was to kill people, and to kill them completely, so that all the outlaws entrenched on the border of the three countries would be terrified, and let them know that those who committed the summer soil would be punished.
Pulled out the nameless demon sword, slipped a sword at the door, and the triple iron door bolt was cut off like cutting tofu. Putting away the demon sword, pushing open the heavy temple door, Lynch strode in.
A tall thin man wearing a square scarf and a black robe walked over with a basin of water, and when he saw Lynch entering with a sword, he stood in place, opened his mouth and just wanted to call someone, the shadow of the sword flashed, and another sword sealed his throat, and the basin fell with the person, and he caught it firmly with his sword in time and put it on the ground.
Walking through the dimly lit corridor, suddenly opened, a brightly lit hall was placed in front of you, very wide, dozens of snow-white columns supported the vaulted dome, the dome was painted with exquisite sun, moon, stars and gods motifs, on the gorgeous carpet, nearly 200 people sat on the ground, were praying sincerely.
The people of Xingyue worship the empty god, and like the Posa Empire, the whole country believes in religion, and everyone is a worshipper of the empty god.
What is the empty god, the empty god is the atmosphere that envelops the world, that is, the more distant void, that is, the universe that gives birth to everything and contains everything, the sun, the moon, and the stars are his children, and the world in which man lives is only one of his many children.
The empty god has no beginning and no end, no form and no substance, and no image that can be depicted. He is omniscient, omnipotent, and the sole ruler of all things in the universe, and no one can deceive his senses, let alone disobey his will. Everything in the world originates from the empty god and will eventually end in the empty god, which is both the creator and the destroyer, the origin and destination of everything.
There is no idol to worship in the empty god, people have an empty god in their hearts, and the empty god is at ease, and they bring down happiness;
Lynch suddenly appeared in the hall, carrying a steaming soldier with no expression on his face, cold as frost. The Xingyue Warrior was not a vegetarian, and someone immediately discovered him, first in twos and threes, and then in pieces and in twos, and then stood up in pieces, all with fierce eyes, and no one shouted.
These people are all ruthless characters with their heads pinned to their trouser belts and licking blood with their heads, they have never seen any battles, and they are only one person and one sword, and they only turn the realm into cultivation, so what are they afraid of.
The person closest to Lynch, on the contrary, reacted the slowest to be blind, and as soon as he stood up, the back of his neck was cut off by a sword, and he fell to the ground.
The warriors of the stars and moons were very angry, and were startled by this bold young man, and a man with a curved blade was furious, and rushed forward like a cheetah.
Lynch was as quiet as a mountain when he didn't move, and as fast as thunder when he moved, he flashed, slashed, only to hear a miserable scream, blood sprayed like mist, and the comer's head was sawed off by a sword, and he stumbled a few steps, and died on the ground, his legs twitching.
Rumble!
The whole lobby suddenly exploded, and those who were hiding short soldiers hurriedly surrounded them, and those who did not bring weapons hurried to get them.
At first, they were only angry that the sacred temple was defiled, but now they are like a great enemy!
"Dangdangdang......"
The alarm bell rings, and Lynch alone enters the empty temple full of treacherous people, and a killing begins.
Outside the temple, Yuan Jiugang lightly verticalized, swept up the circular spire, his posture was elegant, like a shock, really like a fairy.
"Kill one person in one step, don't ask for favor and hatred!"
Yuan Jiugang looked up at the blood-colored moon in the sky, raised his neck and drank a few sips of wine, and then chanted a crooked poem, so uncomfortable.
