[7. Dancing through the Central Plains (I)]

[In November of the first year of Guangming (880 AD), Huangchao went to Ruzhou, approaching Luoyang]

The rebels are coming!

There is an atmosphere of unease and doubt in the bustling city of singing and dancing, which makes the cold winter even more oppressive and unbearable.

"Either way, this uneasy confusion is in our favor. The loose thick braids swayed slightly in the evening breeze, and the "leader of the minced flowers" Baili Haoguang shook his legs comfortably on the thatched roof of the low house, and said with a smile while peeling lychees.

"It's useless to listen to Tian Shehan's arguments. His handsome old friend, "The Father of Deterrence" Yuzhangjun, brushed the thatch critically and sat down.

"Ah, unlike you, 'Tanmaru Borrower (Note 1) has gained a lot, right?" Hazy Light grabbed into the void, and there was an extra handful of lychees in his hand, "The last stock, don't talk after eating it." ”

Yuzhang-kun pretended to be arrogant and stretched out his hand: "Hmph...... It's been a long time, it won't break, right?"

Haoguang pursed his lips, grabbed the air with his other hand, and the dung bucket under the house flew into the air, and then he shook his hand and stuffed the dung bucket into Yuzhangjun's arms.

The dung bucket crystallized into jasper, and Yuzhangjun dropped it expressionlessly: "Don't make trouble, be serious." ”

"It's been a few months, and the group of ants of the Divine Army have only come to Luoyang now. Haoguang sneered, "Should it be said that the dragons have no leader or is it mediocre, after such a long delay, do you really want to defeat our Yan Ying Academy?"

Yuzhangjun sneered: "It must be that the superiors disagree and contain each other...... It's really pitiful that your junior brother is being used as a cow and horse, running around for boring things all day long. ”

"Xiao Fang? That kid used to have a bad temper, but now it's so useless? It's trouble to fall in love with a woman you shouldn't love, why don't you take a fancy to our military etiquette or Teng Meiren? Chunyin and Xue Rou are okay...... Speaking of which, Xia Bai Zeyu Xuan has disappeared for a long time, how can he think that he is dead, right? Why is he still in the Divine Army......

"Who knows," Yuzhangjun peeled the lychee, "by the way, it seems to have been found underground, 'Beastmaster Ding'." ”

"Oh, that seems to be the last one, isn't it?" Haoguang nodded with interest, "It's all gathered...... Winning the Central Plains, the Divine Army is going to be angry. ”

"If Jiuding is activated, no matter how united they are, it will be useless. Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and Yuzhangjun's dark purple pupils shone with madness.

Hazy Light let out a low sneer. When night falls, there is no prosperous scene in the countryside, and when the afterglow fades, there is only the infinite expansion of the shadows, just like the Ding of the boarding monster under Luoyang City is rapidly expanding its body, encroaching on the eastern capital inch by inch. It's a huge, secretive conspiracy that, once launched, will destroy everything and crush everything to ashes—

It's just that it's not yet time to wake up.

"Ah, I'm going to win anyway, I haven't heard that the guy who got the Nine Beast King Ding will lose," Hazy Guang grinned, his childish eyes revealing the cold glow of the miserable years, and his voice was soft, "What's more, it's us." ”

"Just wait for them to come and die. Jade Zhangjun's white shirt fluttered in the wind, and under his princely and noble appearance was a cruel evil heart, "I'm impatient...... You know, Sheng woke up. ”

"Really, he's slept for so long, with his temperament, he shouldn't be able to sit still, right?" Haoguang raised his eyebrows happily, "I've always felt that he is like the old Xiaofang, and finally someone can play with me again." ”

"Your junior brother didn't work so hard, Sheng said that he would lure the enemy into battle tonight. Yuzhang-kun said indifferently.

"Tonight? Hazy Guang was stunned, and then laughed, and his eager expression was like a beast seeking blood satisfaction, "It's worthy of Sheng, it's really ...... Great!"

——·——

The slender boy looked down at his bare white upper body, as if the body carved from white jade could not see any flaws, and the wound that was once so hideous that he couldn't bear to look directly did not leave any traces, which was enough to prove the mastery of the healer's spell.

"Sheng," a calm and pleasant voice came from outside the door, followed by a soft knock.

Sheng hurriedly put on his shirt: "Come in." ”

Petra walked in and gave him a cold look.

"Long time no see. Sheng showed a well-behaved and cute smile, and his voice was clear.

Petra just threw the new clothes at him: "New clothes." ”

Sheng looked at him quietly for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Angry?"

Petra looked at him, "The soul that should have been devoured by me is almost gone, what do you say?"

"Anyway, I'm not dead yet. Sheng smiled innocently, "Have you seriously practiced the secret ritual in the past few months? Anyway, your identity is Sister Yunwei's apprentice." ”

In the face of Sheng's innocent eyes, there should be very few people who can be angry with him. Petra could only sigh lightly: "It's useless to say anything, right, you've never heard me......"

"A-Ning, the power of life lies in disobedience......" Sheng gently weighed the fabric, and the touch of the snow-white silk clothes sliding on his hand was smooth and slightly cool, like a mountain stream flowing by.

He unfolded his clothes, and the dark lines embroidered with silver thread shone in the light of the candlelight: "Very expensive clothes, and demonic spirit...... Ah, it's a goddess curtain woven ......"

"Ah, the evil lord is determined to keep you. Petra's tone was flat.

Sheng's amber eyes sparkled: "Treat me who is dying, even the bone cracks and tendon fractures left by forcibly breaking through the seventh order have been carefully repaired one by one in the past few months, the evil lord is as kind to me as a mountain." ”

"You might as well try to stop using the Prison Qianhua and see if she cares about you so much. Petra looked at her with contempt.

The tame and well-behaved appearance disappeared in an instant, and Sheng's cold gaze was like a chain to seal the soul: "If my soul is humble and rotten, you can also care about me." Because you are useful, you will be pampered, and you are the same as the evil lord, Petra Sero. ”

Petra froze for a moment, and was unfamiliar with the first name, he knew that Sheng was really angry. Sheng has always changed his face faster than turning a book, and he can't do anything about it: "Okay, I won't say it." ”

Sheng stood up, gently picked up the bamboo fungus on the smoke cage, and slowly debugged it.

"You're going to be part of the action too?" Petra was surprised.

"No, it's just for Sister Yunwei. Sheng smiled, "Gong Nuan Shengqing, just in harmony with his sister. Doesn't my sister like me playing "Nu Luo" very much?"

——·——

The sheng music that emerges from the night has a clear tone, but it uses a low and sad tune. The simple rhythm of a nursery rhyme reveals a hidden sadness, gradually pulling the soul into the boundary between life and death in the night......‖

In the night with a heavy atmosphere, the sound of the sheng is simply a gust of wind that sets off the dark tide.

Just like the clouds surging in the wind, the snow-white figure quietly swept over the heavy eaves of the Huawu.

It was a beautiful silver-white fox, with satin fur like snow and nine long tails that shimmered in the wind.

As if to fight against it, a shadow also swept over the roof opposite it—

It was a pure black fierce dog, with inky bristles and a long shiny tail fluttering like smoke in the wind.

The white fox and the black dog stared at each other, and there was a sneer in their eyes.

The black dog shook its thick and relaxed hair, turned into a toned young man, and smiled toothily: "Where is the beauty going?"

"Then where is Wang Lang going?" The soft voice was full of charm, and the white fox turned into a beauty that captivated the city and the country, sneering at each other.

Young man - "Burning Lady" Wang Yanwu exuded a demonic aura all over his body: "Where the beauty is going, I will go!"

The beautiful woman in a neon dress drew her sword with both hands, and the sword light reflected the shining starry eyes: "This will bother me, Wang Lang!"

"Teng Ji, don't think that you can rule Kyushu with just a few of you!" Yan Wu's body moved, and he changed into a fierce red shadow and attacked directly!

Like a colorful glow fluttering, Teng Ji jumped lightly, and the colorful silk was gorgeously swept away, confusing people's eyes!

Yan Wu's iron fist wrapped in red flames collided with the thin sword that reflected the colorful clouds, and his handsome and stern face was close to Teng Ji's soft and smiling jade countenance.

"'A dance of neon clothes on a thousand peaks, the dance breaks through the primitive' (Note 2)......" In the bewitchment of the country's flowers and the man's dance, Yan Wu still jumped high, overlooking Luoyang in the sky and sighed slightly.

Teng Ji wielded her double swords in the cover of the colorful silk dance, her cherry lips opened slightly, and her smile seemed to be there: "Singing and dancing is not guilty, Wang Lang, the dance of secret rites is for the funeral of the corrupt, not for the death of the country!"

"Coffin Dancer" Teng Yunwei is good at sword dance "secret ceremony", her bizarre swordsmanship is covered by graceful dancing posture and peerless face, which is even more sinister in the shocking beauty!

"The pearls are dazzling and the stars are shaking, and the flowers are fighting and the dragon and snake are moving" (Note 3), the beauty dances and makes people immersed in it and never regret it!

But the soldiers of the Divine Army were not intoxicated. They lurked in the shadows of the market, quietly approaching Teng Ji's body!

The eye waves are just like meltwater in early spring, clear and cold, the beauty chuckles, and the sword shadow dances close to Yan Wu's fists and feet: "Wang Lang, I dance with you so warmly, don't you notice my difference?"

Yan Wu was stunned. Teng Ji is still combing the gorgeous jade ring flying fairy bun as usual, bright and beautiful as usual......

Teng Ji sneered, her eyes shining as cold as the jade and jade in her hair—

It's all jade hair ornaments, and no gold or silver is used! A trace of horror flashed in Yan Wu's mind, and he hurriedly withdrew, but he was entangled by Cai Aya and the double sword, and in his anxiety, he shouted: "It's 'Swinging Soldiers'!"

The name that made the divine army also frightened immediately made the whole city unload its armor in a hurry!

The unbridled laughter brought a strange metal buzz, and the weapons all over the city flew in an instant, stabbing the panicked soldiers into a sword formation, and in an instant, Luoyang was dyed red!

Tall and slender, a beauty in a pomegranate skirt stepped on the peak of the weapon and appeared on the stage!

"Bingyi, don't do a surprise attack if you have the ability!" Yan Wu smiled bitterly and hurriedly retreated, but his mouth still refused to back down.

"Don't you have the ability to know at a glance, don't you want to find such a ridiculous reason to win, dead dog!" The eyes painted with bright red eyeshadow were as sharp as the frost blades of the weapons, and the "Swinging Soldiers" Bingyi sneered and looked down at them, "You can only speak if you can break the 'Awakening Soul Sword', Mole Ant!"

The "Awakening of the Soul Awakening" of the military instrument can manipulate metal and even make the metal deform arbitrarily, and "wipe out the elite soldiers of ten thousand cities with a smile", which can be described as extremely powerful! Such a powerful can only make Yan Wu speechless.

"It's hard to beat the beauty...... Can you only use the 'Burning Plains' to fight with all your might!" Yan Wu was also merciless, the surging flames and the aura of the swinging soldiers collided with each other, "Hurry up and do it at this time!"

In the blazing fire of the whole city, the furious wind blade slashed all over the city, and Aunt Feng led the elite to rush to kill!

"It's been a long time, Aunt Eighteen Wind!" The brutal smile was full of anticipation, and the giant knife of the soldier collided with the colorless whip of the wind of Aunt Feng, and the weapons of the city also whirled with the storm furiously, colliding with the strongest music of the battle array!

"Even if I gamble with my life, I will kill you!" Aunt Feng's apricot eyes widened, and the strong wind sharpened the edge of the sword!

"It's a pity that you can't help us even if you send your cheap life!" The shock of demonic power brought a million weapons to slash, and in the turbulence of magic that made people's hearts and souls vibrate, the soldiers laughed contemptuously!

"You're too underestimated, shrew!" While continuing to fight with Teng Ji, Yan Wu didn't forget to distract the soldiers—

The tornado carried the flames of the "Burning Plains" into the sky, not only disrupting the formation of the awakening of the Soul Awakening, but also involving the military rites!

"Well done, Shang Bai Ze!" Aunt Feng praised Mingyin, who had cooperated just right. The cautious Mingyin used the two sealing monsters "Li" and "Xun" to raid at the same time, and at this time, his breath was unstable due to the use of all his strength.

"Did you succeed......" Mingyin stared at the fire tornado that reflected the entire city, and her two monsters were still flying there as if they were showing their superiority.

But her pupils, which were red by the fire, suddenly constricted—

The stunned weapon array suddenly awakened and flew out, directly turning the flying wind monster into a thorn ball!

Then there is the demon breath that tears apart the entire tornado and the fire monster of Mingyin. The corpse of the monster split in two hung on the white hands of the soldier, and the blood mist was still spewing out......

The battlefield was as silent as death, and everyone looked at the fierce smiles of the soldiers. The beautiful face like white porcelain was stained with the same bright and terrifying color as the pomegranate skirt, and the soldier narrowed his brown eyes in enjoyment, and his teeth shone brightly: "Interesting, it seems that tonight will not be boring...... It's not enough!

The two corpses were casually discarded, and the red slender hands stained with the hot and poisonous blood of the monsters grabbed the huge twin knives that shone with golden light, and the soldiers sneered and scanned the battlefield.

It's simply a rakshasa (Note 4)...... No, she shouldn't be described as a ghost, she is the best illustration of violence and tyranny—she is one of the four evils, Qiqi!

"Ancient remnants as terrible as the rumors......" Aunt Feng was terrified in her heart.

"Let's all die here!" Bing Yi and Teng Ji danced together, and the most beautiful figure danced to the sky, leading the terrifying soul to fall into hell!

——·——

Preview: "I always thought that we could get rid of the four murderers with an army of 10 million, but are we too naïve......"

"You should surrender, you can't win our Yan Ying Academy!"

"The evil lord of planting, you are not worthy of calling yourself the Blue Emperor!"

"That's not what the weak should say. I will be the emperor, and then I will clean up the chaos!"

The demon army dominated by the four evils began to attack, and it was about to start from Luoyang to shatter the chaos in the Central Plains! The dance of destruction led to the end of Huangquan, and it was impossible to pause-

Next: Dancing through the Central Plains (II)!

——·——Notes

(Note 1) Exploring pills and borrowing guests: A metaphor for a guerrilla to kill people and take revenge. Jade Zhangjun's usual job is to hunt officials and gather intelligence among the wanderers, which will be mentioned in the biography attached to Volume 1.

Allusions: During the Yongshi and Yuan Yan years, the emperor was slack in the government, his relatives were reckless, and the Hongyang Changzhong brothers colluded with the outlaws to accept the outlaws. The big tycoons and merchants in the north tried to avenge their personal grievances and killed six people, including the chief of the righteous canal and his wife and daughters, and traveled back and forth in Chang'an City. The prime minister and the history of the Emperor sent their subordinates to hunt down the thieves, and the imperial court also issued a letter ordering them to be captured, and it took a long time to capture them. There are many thieves and traitors in Chang'an City, and the wandering teenagers in the alleys and alleys gang up to kill officials, and some even accept bribes to take revenge on behalf of others, and they make red, black, and white bullets for each person, and those who get red bullets kill military officials, those who get black bullets kill civilians, and those who get white bullets kill the troubled comrades; for a time, there are many marriages in the city, thieves rob pedestrians on the road, and dead bodies are strewn on the streets. (The original text is the "Book of Han" volume 90 "Cool Officials Lie Biography Yin Xian", this is a translation)

(Note 2) A dance on a thousand peaks, the dance breaks through the primitive: from the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's "Three Verses of the Qing Palace (Part 2)"

(Note 3) Zhu Xuan Xuan turns into the stars, and the flower beard fights the dragon and snake: from Bai Juyi's "The Joy of the Kingdom of Desire: The Pioneer of the Desire to Become the King and the Later Far Away (Dedicated in the Seventeenth Year of the Zhen Dynasty)"

(Note 4) Luosha: "Huilin Yiyi" volume 25 records: "Luosha, this cloud evil ghost also." Cannibalism of human flesh and blood, or flying in the air, or traveling on the ground, is terrifying. The seventh volume of the same book also says: "Rashasa, Sanskrit, ancient cloud Rasha, and Xuye (omitted) are the names of violent and evil ghosts." Men are extremely ugly, women are very beautiful, and they all eat people. ”

(Note 5) Poor Qi: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Classic of the West Mountains" has clouds: "Two hundred and sixty miles to the west, it is called Tai Mountain." There is a beast on it, its state is like a cow, the moth hair, the name is called Qiqi, the sound is like a dog, it is a cannibal. Another way of saying that Odd is the name of a god, "Huainanzi Shape Training": "Odd Wonder is born of the vast wind." Gao Lu said: "Strange and wonderful, the gods are also." In the northern road, the foot rides two dragons, and its shape is like a tiger. Later, the word "odds" was used as a metaphor for a person who has renounced his promise.

"The Eighteenth Year of Duke Wen of the Left" has a cloud: "Shaohao's family, there are untalented people, who are loyal and loyal, worship evil words, and the so-called wonder of the world." ”

"Historical Records of the Five Emperors" said: "The Shaoyan clan has no talent, destroys faith and loyalty, worships evil words, and the so-called poor wonder in the world." ”

The "Historical Justice" notes the "Divine Disogany": "There are beasts in the northwest, which resemble tigers, have wings and can fly, so they kill people, know people's words, and listen to people who fight and eat the straight, who are faithful and eat their noses, and who are disobedient and not good at killing beasts, and whose name is Qiqi." "This is a beast of great evil.
