Chapter 240: The Beginning of the Allure City
The news that Dugu Ming is going to get married has gone viral on the rivers and lakes, but the date of the actual wedding is still half a month later.
After all, this is a major event, and the early notice is also to give people from all walks of life a corresponding preparation time. Wushuang City is a powerful force that has not fallen for nearly a thousand years, although he is now somewhat declining under the suppression of the Tianxia Society, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and no one can say whether there are any hole cards in Wushuang City with such a long history.
Therefore, these days come from all over the world, and there are not a few high-rollers who live in Wushuang City.
It is said that because of this incident, the inns in Wushuang City are almost full. And even so, there is still a steady stream of guests who come to participate in the congratulatory gifts.
For them, it is naturally an opportunity to be able to participate in such a grand event, and it is necessary to do their best to witness such an opportunity.
For this, many people are in a hurry.
Yuan Hao, Shi Feixuan, and Fu Junwu were no exception. Although their minds were different from those of others, they were still on their way to the Peerless City.
If you want to travel comfortably from Jiangxia to Wushuang City, it is best to take a boat along the east of the river, go north to Jiangning into the Grand Canal, and then turn to Pengcheng to turn Huaishui to the west - this is not the shortest road, nor the fastest road, but it is the easiest and most labor-saving road. After all, it is not hard to take a boat, and there is a certain space for movement, but it is the best enjoyment.
That's what a lot of well-informed people do.
But, Yuan Hao didn't - he didn't have much time.
In desperation, he could only cross the Yangtze River and cross the mountains and mountains in the opposite direction. Because the artist is bold, Yuan Hao walked directly on an almost straight road. At this time, the red rear side has completed the layout of the high-altitude communication platform, and while gathering the whole map of Shenzhou, it has also enabled the corresponding position positioning ability, which can also ensure that Yuan Hao runs all over the mountains and fields without falling in the direction.
It's just that the correctness of his direction can be guaranteed, but the accommodation along the way cannot be guaranteed.
Yuan Hao thought that he would be able to arrive in Wushuang City faster, but he didn't want to make such a decision, but he was so tired that the two big beauties, Concubine Xuan and Fu Junwu, accompanied him to eat and sleep together, tired and hard.
Like right now, as the sun sets on the other side of the hillside, the sky is getting dark again.
Fu Junwu, who was still hurrying in the wilderness, looked at the increasingly dark sky, and thought that she might have to stay in the wilderness again tonight, and couldn't help but complain in annoyance: "Didn't you say that we will soon arrive in Wushuang City? Why did you let us sleep in the wilderness tonight?"
"I only think it's a rough idea, but it's a miscalculation...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Yuan Hao apologized again and again. As he spoke, he looked at his PDA, glanced at the location map on it, and suddenly laughed: "Maybe we won't sleep in the wilderness tonight! There is a temple less than three miles ahead, and we can go there for the night." โ
"Temple?" said Concubine Xuan frowned slightly.
Yuan Hao doesn't like Buddhist temples very much, and even Concubine Xuan, who has memorized his memory, has an inexplicable dislike for Buddhist temples - this is very different from her original standing on the position of Buddhism and preaching loudly.
Seeing her frowning, Yuan Hao knew what was going on, and felt a little sorry for her in his heart, but he still didn't regret it.
He opened his mouth and explained to Shi Fei Xuan: "It's not a Buddhist temple, but a Guansheng temple!"
"Guansheng Temple, there are also ...... in this wilderness" Now it was Fu Junwu's turn to be surprised.
Guan Sheng, that is, Guan Yu, or Guan Yunchang!
He was a famous general of the Ji and Han dynasties in the Three Kingdoms era, Rao Yong was good at fighting, and he once made a great career with Liu Bei, and was finally killed by Sun Quan's design.
Guan Yu's life is righteous and cloudy, a face is naturally red like a warm blood, loyal to the liver and courage, and history even calls him "loyalty, righteousness, wisdom, benevolence and bravery".
Therefore, it is with Liu Bei. The anecdote of Zhang Fei's "Taoyuan Righteousness" and its high wind and bright festival have been talked about and respected by countless people in the rivers and lakes since ancient times, and they have even been worshiped like gods by people from all over the world, three mountains and five mountains, and black and self.
Later, some emperors even honored Guan Yu as a god and called him a martial saint.
As the most righteous god, Wusheng Temple is naturally everywhere in the land of Shenzhou.
It's just that such a temple should be built in the middle of a bustling bazaar, how can it be in such a remote wilderness?
"It won't be abandoned...... " Concubine Shi was suspicious.
"I don't know......" Yuan Hao led them to continue forward, and soon saw the lights in front of him: "It doesn't look like an abandoned temple." Look at those fireworks ......" Yuan Hao smiled with a finger: "It seems that we have a place to sleep at night." โ
"You're in luck!" Fu Junwu snorted coldly, and walked forward to approach the Guansheng Temple, only to find that the temple was still filled with fireworks.
"Is there anyone else?" Fu Junwu stepped forward and was about to say hello to the people inside, but found that there was no sound of a person's breathing in the temple.
"What's the matter?" The three of them entered, but saw that there were indeed fireworks in the temple, but this fireworks were a mouthful of incense in front of the statue of Guan Gong, in which a dense red incense was lit and there were not afraid of hundreds of sticks. Other than that, there was really no one in the temple.
"Who is so boring!" Yuan Hao muttered. He looked around the temple and found that it was quite clean, and although the smoke was a little choking, it was much better to rest here than in the darkness outside.
And......
With a "boom", a heavy thunderstorm broke out in the dark sky outside the temple!
In a few moments, the rain poured down like a waterfall, and the entire "Guansheng Temple" was plunged into a downpour within a radius of 100 miles.
"It's okay...... Let's hurry up, or else!" Yuan Hao rejoiced for this.
At this time, the three of them were eating hot wine around a small bonfire that rose in the open space in a corner of the temple. Suddenly, Yuan Hao's action of fiddling with the bonfire froze, and he heard the dense footsteps coming from a distance, and felt the faint murderous aura contained in the footsteps.
"Someone came, and it didn't seem like a good person. Yuan Hao whispered to Concubine Xuan and Fu Junwu.
"Don't worry too much, let's avoid it!" Yuan Hao's perception, Concubine Xuan and Fu Junxuan still believed it, they heard Yuan Hao say this, nodded lightly at the moment, and suggested to Yuan Hao.
"Okay!" Yuan Hao didn't want to do much, so he kicked out with a sweeping leg, kicked out the bonfire in front of him, and then with a thought, he put these ashes and everything into his personal space, and then he and the three of them stood up and jumped onto the pillars of the Guansheng Temple. They moved quickly by the beam, and soon reached the place near the big pillar on the back of the statue of Guan Sheng, and completely covered their figures by the shadow of the pillar and the idol.
They hid their bodies here, and the temple gate was "poof...... Burst...... Puff puff!", Yuan Hao poked his head out slightly, and saw that in the pouring rain, there were ten black shadows and lightning rushing into the "Guansheng Temple".
Yuan Hao took a closer look, but saw that these ten black shadows were all big men wearing night action suits!
They're a group, and they're a well-trained one. As soon as the ten of them entered the temple, they immediately tidied up their rain-soaked clothes. Such a monstrous rain only made them wet and cold in just a moment. It's really a bad feeling, and it's no wonder that one of the big men couldn't help but scold while sorting out his clothes: "Damn! Every time we encounter wind and rain in our spy business, it's really moldy for eight lifetimes!"
A few words revealed their identities, which made Yuan Hao's heart move slightly: "Oh, spies? Who are the spies of that sect? Why are they here at such a juncture? Isn't it related to Wushuang City? It seems that they want to be unfavorable to Wushuang City? But who else in the world can be so bold?"
One question after another passed in Yuan Hao's heart, and he couldn't help but be in a trance. Fortunately, the opening of another big man made his mind completely converge, and he listened intently to the following movements: "Don't be noisy! Our luck doesn't seem to be terrible, after all, we have found this ancient temple to shelter from the rain, which is a great luck! This is not far from Wushuang City...... Just right for us to move."
The rest of the spies also chimed in: "Yes, after the rain stops, let's try to sneak into the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of Wushuang City to see if there are any other secrets about Wushuang City, and meet the Xiong Gang Leader......"
"Male Gang Master?ahhh......h These ten people are the spies of the Tianxia Society?" Yuan Hao understood, and after thinking about it, he also took it for granted. After all, it is a matter of course that the world will secretly attack Wushuang City.
At this time, his ears moved slightly, but he heard another sound from far and near.
This is the sound of horses' hooves, Yuan Hao made a judgment. Horses were driven here in the pouring rain.
He could hear it very clearly, and he knew that the people below him would soon hear some movements.
Sure enough, just as the ten people were about to sit down and prepare to rest, one of them frowned and asked, "Huh, did you hear some voices too?"
"What sound?" said the man, and everyone was concerned. Their skills seem to be as good as if one person can hear them, and the other few people will naturally not be busy. Soon they all heard.
"Hey, this voice seems to be ......"
"The sound of horses' hooves!"
Everyone quickly affirmed their judgment. Listening to the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, it seems to be getting closer and closer to this ancient temple.
They couldn't help but look at each other, and one of them seemed to be the leader, and he had already ordered: "We must not let anyone in Wushuang City find out, go quickly!"
At the sound of an order, the ten people immediately flew out of the temple without delay, and rushed into the heavy rain.
Because if people still stay in the ancient temple, they will definitely find each other at a glance, but in the heavy rain, it is foggy, and it is easier to hide their figures.
"But it's too late!" Watching them move, Yuan Hao also followed, he jumped over the beams of the house, but from the inside of the temple to the door, kissed a piece of green tiles on the top of the door, and saw the situation outside while the wind and rain entered coldly.
Behind the heavy rain, there was already a black shadow riding a horse, waiting for them in the torrential rain, and blocking their way.
This is what happened to these Tianxia spies who came out of the Guandi Temple.
They were stunned.
And Yuan Hao was even more attracted by the appearance of the war horse under the man.
I saw that the horse, covered in fiery red as blood, except for the four hooves of snow white, there was no trace of miscellaneous hair, it was the legendary red free horse......
The horse is a red rabbit, but what about the man? Because of the raindrops, no one can see the face of the comer. As a bystander, Yuan Hao was still staring patiently.
But the spies who felt the hostility from the other party could no longer hold back. One of the spies suddenly burst out and shouted, "Who is sacred, and how dare you block our way?"
The mysterious shadow behind the rain curtain didn't move, didn't answer, just stood there quietly, like an eternal statue.
The icy rain washed over his body, and over the ten spies. Both sides were soaked with rain. But compared to the mysterious figure of Ruoyuan, the spy seemed extremely impatient, and some of them had already made threatening words: "Hey! I see that you don't want to live anymore, so get out of the way if you are interested, or you will ......."
The spy wanted to say "or something," but his voice stopped abruptly, stunned by the sight before him.
Wonder, really wonder...... Even Yuan Hao, who was lying on the beam of the house and looking down through the lifted tiles, couldn't help but be stunned: "Is this martial arts or spells? This is really Fengyun, not some fantasy world?"
But in the midst of the torrential rain, four "water dragons" with teeth and claws suddenly appeared from the rain, and they rushed towards these ten spies viciously!
"What?"
"Unbeatable!"
Under the elbow and armpit of the transformation, the ten people were dumbfounded, but they reacted quickly, they wanted to run in horror, but they didn't know that the three water dragons were so fast and urgent, they had already entangled them all in an instant, and the ten people couldn't move......
What kind of martial arts is this?
Or is this ...... Isn't it martial arts at all?
At the same time that ten people were restrained, the knife had broken through the rain!
Yuan Hao was condescending and could see clearly, but when he saw that the knife, it was a Qinglong Yanyue knife that was more than seven inches long!
The hand holding the knife is a hand with silver gloves!
This glove woven with silver thread is also embroidered with a vivid dragon, the dragon and the hand, are exuding a heaven and earth, but I am invincible domineering!
This is the most unprovoked domineering in the world!
At least, Yuan Hao thinks that he can't compare to the other party in this momentum.
Sweep!
The stone was broken! The sky was shocked! This earth-shattering knife had already "poofed" and split the heavy rain curtain into a two-zhang wide gap, and even cut the ten spies into several sections. For a while, the blood flowers were all over the sky, turning into a little rain of blood and smashing down.
In an instant, blood was even more dense than rain!
"What a fast knife! What a ruthless knife!" Yuan Hao's eyes condensed slightly, and his face showed even more disbelief.
At the moment when the sword light flickered, a thunderbolt also fell from the sky. The light of the thunderbolt pierced the sky, allowing everyone, including Yuan Hao, to catch a glimpse of the mysterious man's face. It's just this face, this face that they can't believe.
How could this man be...... He can't still exist now.
The rain still pours down like a flood, but this mysterious black shadow in the rain is not afraid of wind and rain.
Suddenly, he stuck the Qinglong Yanyue Knife on the ground, and suddenly opened his mouth and sighed: "Thousands of years have passed, and dynasties are constantly changing...... I have said that as long as my soul remains, I will not allow the Peerless City to fall into anyone's hands...... this heart. Even after thousands of years, it is still a ...... The same heart!"
The voice was infinitely indistinct, distinctly a low, old man's voice. At this time, the sound of rain is very loud, like countless soybeans being stir-fried. But such a noise can't cover his gloomy and majestic sad song......
Listening to what he said, Yuan Hao felt even more strange in his heart: "Why did he say such a thing......?" He's really not from this dynasty, but from a thousand years ago?"
Yuan Hao thought hard, but he didn't wait for him to come up with a reason.
As soon as the word "heart" of the mysterious black shadow came out, he suddenly pulled out the green dragon glaive knife inserted in the ground, and then rode his horse and disappeared into the downpour like a ghost.
The corpses of the ten spies that had been split open were still terrified on the ground, but if we could see the truth, we would find that the blood they had sprinkled on the ground was not washed away by the fierce rain, but seemed to be suspicious by a wonderful force, and gradually turned into four different blood characters on the groundโ"pour"!
