Chapter 306: The Four Great Kou (3)
Strangely enough, there was no lively bazaar outside the door, but a bright and flat side street, about five paces wide, stretching into the distance.
I listened intently, and the laughter was still there, but it was probably at the far end of the street, at least fifty paces away.
The side street is flanked by two high walls of blue bricks and blue tiles, which block my view and make it impossible to see anything else.
"I see, it seems, there's nothing to be afraid of outside the door. I said.
That being said, I didn't dare to cross the threshold easily.
The quieter the place, the more dangerous it is, which is emphasized in the war book.
"Really?" asked Redsleeves with a sneer.
"Jingle bell" sounded, and a golden bell hanging on the door rang in the wind.
The golden bell is about the size of a ping-pong ball, exquisitely clear, exquisite workmanship, and the outer layer is all embossed with moire flower branches, which is extremely complicated.
It was tied to a jade plaque, and the palm-sized jade plaque hung above the lintel.
"Tianzong?" I looked up, and there were two quaint Hanli characters carved on the jade plate.
Heavenly Sect and Secret Demons are linked, opposing each other, and have become the cornerstone of the pattern of rivers and lakes for thousands of years.
In my concept, Tianzong belongs to the above and honest faction, just like the two major factions of Shaolin and Wudang in the traditional sense, which are powerful and uphold justice. As for the secret demons, they represent the villains such as the Demon Sect, the Ming Sect, the Power Gang, and the Everest Snow Mountain Fort.
Therefore, as soon as I saw the jade plaque of "Tianzong", my heart was immediately filled with hope.
"This leads to the Heavenly Sect? It's good, it's good. "I was reassured that I had lifted my right foot and was about to cross the threshold.
"Look at the reverse side of the jade plaque. Red Sleeves said coldly.
I raised my hand to hold the jade plaque, reversed it slightly, and the words "Secret Demon" were engraved on the back. It turns out that this jade plaque has words on both sides, each representing different powers.
"Do you want to go forward or backward?" asked Redsleeve again.
This time, I completely lost my judgment.
The jade plaque is not fixed somewhere, and can be flipped freely following the movements of the person, and even as soon as the wind blows, it may be reversed.
That being the case, the direction it indicates is certainly not exact.
The threshold is indeed a very strange thing, there is only a low threshold inside and outside the door, but in the past or here, it is already a different kind of cave.
"Let's go back, it's still too late. Red Sleeves said.
After a long hesitation, I finally turned around.
Behind me, there was only the endless darkness after the lights went out, and the red sleeves were the only thing that could be seen in the darkness, like a one-man show actor in the spotlight.
She is indeed a red-sleeved move, but she is not a beggar gang in Jinan in the 21st century, but a beautiful and ambitious woman who looks familiar on the outside but has a very different heart.
"There are four heroes in the world, and there are no dragons. She said lightly, "What I want to do is to be the leader of the dragons and sit in the Central Plains." In this game of chess, the outcome is decided early. If you want, this is our future country, from now on the sea and the sky are high, flying with wings. What do you think?"
In the past, the four major Kou were two strong and two weak, and Shandong Songjiang and Jiangnan Lala occupied the seats of the two strong, becoming the "big trouble" among the emperor's henchmen.
No one could have imagined that there would be a fifth ambitious figure above the four great Kou, and the red sleeve move was very right, if the four great Kou were jointly subordinated to one person, they would definitely not be broken by the emperor each, and a generation of heroes would be turned into a pie.
"Great!" I gave a thumbs up to Redsleeves.
"Yes, this is a very simple logical question, but the four big cowards are all unruly and unconvinced by each other, this is the biggest cover. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many wise men and strategists, as long as they have a sense of the big picture and a smart view of the overall situation, they can see this. It's a pity, it's a pity, the strategists under the command of the four great Kou are also short-sighted, with extremely high IQ and extremely low EQ, which ultimately led to the fact that none of the four major Kou survived. For me, I can change all of that with the touch of a finger, you say?"
Just like the "traversers" in many fantasy dramas, with the help of advanced productive forces and rich historical knowledge, they will definitely be able to easily get ahead, open up their territory, and finally gain huge benefits by combining vertical and horizontal with their incorruptible tongues.
If the plan of the Red Sleeve Trick is implemented, her position here will be unattainable, and the emperor will be replaced. There have been several female emperors in Chinese history, and she will also be among them.
"Stay and help me - maybe you don't have a choice, this is the only, best option. She said.
"Do you belong to the Secret Demon or the Heavenly Sect?" I asked.
"Is there a difference?" she asked rhetorically.
"Of course there is a difference, I have to know who I'm going to help with. I replied.
She was not in a hurry to answer, but stepped forward, passed by me, and stepped out of the threshold. Of course, her other foot was still in the door, in a state of one foot in the door and one foot outside the door.
A whirlwind suddenly blew on the ground outside the door, and the wind carried a seven-colored glow, reflecting half of her body in a strange light.
I looked closely, and it turned out that there was not only the glow in the wind, but also countless scrawny ghosts, each of which stretched out its ghost claws forward, almost grabbing the face of the red sleeve.
"Do you see clearly?" asked Redsleeves with a smile on his face.
I nodded solemnly: "On the Avenue of Light, there are secret demons, then, what is hidden in the darkness is the Heavenly Sect." ”
Black is white, white is black, and in this world, black and white are indistinguishable and interchangeable. Black or white on the surface means nothing, just to blind the ignorant.
"In the world of chaos, black and white are reversed; She said arrogantly and quietly, "Now the plan, I should be born out of thin air, end everything, and return the Beijing master and the world to a bright future." Since then, there are no four big Kou in the world, only my Ni's red sleeves. There are no more officers and soldiers in the world, and the four seas are together, and the world is ......."
In this passage, the ambition of the Red Sleeves is fully revealed.
I believe she can do it, because as a modern person, her ideological consciousness and social understanding are far higher than those of the four big cowards who were born in a reckless manner. Even the great strategists and wise men who were famous all over the world at that time were short-sighted and narrow-minded compared to the red sleeves, and they could not be said of the same at all.
"Stay. She held out her hand to me.
In the bright and dark backgrounds, the bright places are all erratic ghosts, and the dark places are all neatly faced loyal ministers, and the two are divided by thresholds, without intruding on each other, and each going its own way.
If I stay, I will be able to guide the country in the future, inspire words, and be a marquis of ten thousand households—that is the dream of all men. In the 21st century, I will never be able to achieve such a dream, and I can only live honestly and suffocating under the framework of various rules, and I will probably never have a time to raise my eyebrows in my life.
"This ......" I hesitated, but there seemed to be a hungry voice crying out in my heart, "Stay, stay, stay......"
That is the "evil" part of human nature that is about to move, everyone has two sides, good and evil, incorruptible and greedy, radical and decadent, selfless and small-bellied...... Under the seduction of power and **, my position is loosening.
"Don't worry about the future, I've already planned for it. At least three of the four great Kou have promised to be my helpers, and I only want that after the world is pacified, they can list their territories and seal their borders. The world is so big, it couldn't be easier to give each of them a piece of the pie. Today, only one in Shandong is still holding on to the shelf and resisting stubbornly. Wouldn't it be easy for three of the four great families to join forces and conquer one? Stay, give me your hand—"
The red sleeves beckoned me to reach out, and my feet stepped on both sides of the threshold, majestic and strong, forcing me to dare not look directly.
I subconsciously reached out and let her hold it tightly.
"Alright, I've got you. She smiled meaningfully, "Now, let's go pick up the Star Tower and get back what belongs to us." ”
My mind was in a state of confusion, numb and stiff, letting her hold her hand and walk towards the path of light.
I didn't have to look back to realize that there were more and more "people" following behind, until the whole street was filled with people, and finally a torrent of murderous people was formed.
The whole city was boiling, and the doors of every house, the top of the trees, and the bridges and under the bridges were all hung with red lanterns, reflecting half of the city as if it were on fire.
"They are all my people, half of the city is mine, and the Zhao family is all mine, hahahaha......" Red Sleeves laughed wildly all the way, holding my hand, passing through the splendid palaces, and then up along the hundred-step stairs paved with white marble, to a towering and dangerous building.
I thought that we were about to face the emperor who had lost the capital, but unexpectedly, the roof of the building was empty, and only our team had just killed the men and horses.
"Set the wine and play music. Redsleeves waved his hand and commanded.
Immediately, two teams of palace maids came with trays of fish, and placed jade plates of delicacies on the long table on the roof of the building, and then the two teams of musicians came out, and the pipa, huqin and sheng flute were masterpiece, and the music rose around the beam.
Wine is good wine, and the crystal cup that holds it is even more exquisite.
"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people returned to the ancient battle? Mr. Xia, drink a bar, after tonight, dust to dust, soil to earth, the world is peaceful, there is no war in the four seas, hahahaha...... "Red sleeves laughed and toasted.
I also raised my glass, but instead of drinking it all, I used the gesture of raising my glass with both hands, covering my face and peeking at everything.
Ten steps in front of us, a slender shadow slowly roamed. It was a dragon-shaped monster, covered in gray scale armor, each the size of an adult's palm.
It seemed to be waiting for something, and from time to time it came out grinding teeth and sucking blood.
This seems to have been seen before.
In my eagerness, I couldn't remember where I had seen it.
With the music, the palace maids' clothes fluttered and danced, and for a while, the clothes on this high platform were fragrant and beautiful, and they were almost happy.
The red sleeves kept raising her glass and drinking, and the palace maids standing on both sides stopped pouring her wine. Every time he drank a big glass, the red sleeves would laugh wildly, full of ambition, and overflowing with words.
Her appearance reminds me of the undefeated Dongfang, the master of the Demon Cult in film and television dramas, arrogant to the extreme, and clever to the extreme. It's a pity that being smart was mistaken by being smart, and finally fell under his own excessive arrogance.
If you are happy, you will be sad, the ancients have long said.
Actually, I'm not afraid of Red Sleeves' madness, what I'm afraid of is that her arrogance will attract God's curse and cause disaster to the people in the world.
"Mr. Xia, look at me...... Look at me...... Look at me today, am I happy enough? Am I living a chic life? If you stay, I will give you this son, so that you can also become the most alive man in the world, how about it...... Quick, go and pour wine for Mr. Xia, such a good wine, how can I enjoy it alone?" Red Sleeves waved his arms and shouted loudly to the maid beside him.
The two women with heavy makeup walked up to me and filled the crystal cups in my hands.
"Sir, please. One of the women smiled and urged him to drink.
I looked up and caught a glimpse of her eyes, and I couldn't help but be startled, for I saw in those smiling eyes full of malice.
It was like seeing a green-backed pit viper quietly swimming among the grass, and it gave me goosebumps on my back.
The impetuousness in my body dissipated, and I suddenly realized that the danger was close to me, and it was not far away.
"Sir, drink?" said the other woman.
I shook my head: "I'm already out of the woods, this glass, I really can't drink it." ”
Two women with poisonous snake-like eyes toasted, even if I lent me a great courage, I would not dare to drink it.
"If you don't drink, sir, do you want my sisters to feed you?" the two women laughed.
Then one of them took the glass from my hand, and the other took two diagonal steps behind me, clasped his hands together, and grabbed my head.
"Drink, drink!" the person behind me whispered to me, "If you don't eat in the toast, you will be punished with wine, and you will have to eat if the wine is unpalatable." You drink, Huangquan Road, everyone has a companion......"
I shook my head, bounced to my feet, and left my seat.
"Mr. Xia, they toast you, but if you don't eat, I'm going to punish them?" Red Sleeves smiled indifferently and pointed to the tip of my nose.
Realizing that Xingzang was exposed, the two women immediately stepped back, turned their backs upward, and fired two blue flag rockets.
"Bang, bang" twice, the rocket exploded in the air, and when the fireworks were flying, the words "Shuibo" and "Liangshan" appeared.
The red-sleeved move was as steady as Mount Tai, looking at the two women and sneering.
"Woo-" the dragon-like monster in the shadows screamed heavily.
I felt that as soon as it sounded, even the dangerous building under my feet would shake three times in a row.
"Great, great. Red Sleeves high-fived and laughed, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and if you don't come, what will my dragon eat?"
"Water Bo Liangshan, for the heavens. The two women shouted in unison.
"Do you do the way for heaven? Do you do it for heaven? Whose way are you doing? Hehehehe, only I can represent God, and only I can do the way for heaven and heaven, because from today on, I am heaven and I am the way...... Hahahaha......"
In the wild laughter of the red sleeves, the shadow rolled up and bullied the two women. I couldn't even see how it devoured its prey, and after the dark wind swept away, the two women were gone.
As soon as it approached, the roof of the dangerous building was filled with a terrifying bloody gas.
I smelled the murderous aura in the air, and although it was only an animal, it carried a murderous aura that was stronger than the sum of hundreds of executioners who had killed countless people.
The classics say that only strange beasts that eat more than 10,000 people will have this kind of strange power.
Right under my nose, the monster had eaten two living people.
Close at hand, I wanted to see the monster, but it was like a gust of wind, a shadow, drifting and disappearing in an instant.
"You see, no one can ever hurt me, not even a penny. "The red sleeves are arrogant and proud, and they can't be beaten.
I looked at her from afar, remembering the man who had assassinated another "her" in Wazi Alley.
Perhaps, everything I saw was an illusion created by the "art of hysteria", but the truth is that the Red Sleeves had murdered the man a long time ago, successfully usurped the throne, and became the current situation of "magpie's nest dove". What's even more terrifying is that she can command the dragon-like monster to stir up waves and devour everything.
"By the way, that's what the Western mural is about—" My mind lit up.
With the dragon-shaped monster as the dividing line, I and the Red Sleeves all occupied the right side of the mural, just waiting for the enemy to attack. Judging from the outcome of the battle just now, no matter how many enemies come, they will all die in the mouth of the monster, and there will be no difference.
Therefore, the last of the four big cowards who were resented by the red sleeves will also disappear and become a victim of the monster's poisonous kiss. In this way, the country of the imperial court is solid, and the fake emperor who is plotting to usurp the throne can also sit back and relax.
Well, what I look forward to most now is that holy light. I believe that when it shines on this tall building, it will be a new situation in which everything will be calm and the world will tend to be unified.
"Stand down, me and ...... I have something to say to Mr. Xia......" Red Sleeves staggered to his feet with drunkenness, waving his sleeves vigorously.
The maids and guards all stepped back, but the red-sleeved gesture staggered towards me.
"You must be resenting me for not telling you the truth. Now, I can say that you can also ask, and I must know everything, and I will say everything. Red Sleeves said.
I have a sense of powerlessness after being completely deceived because I have always underestimated the red sleeve move. Ever since she entrusted Bing'er to me, I have mistakenly thought that she is a lonely and weak person who needs my help.
Looking at it now, what she is trying to do is not a small Jinan City, nor is it a beggar foundation, but the world.
"You think it's the end, but it's not. I said softly.
Only I have seen the light of holiness, and it will come at any moment and change everything.
"I ascend to the highest place in the world, and when I say the end, it is the end. Tonight, there is a final battle, and after this battle, there will be no more enemies in the world, all of them are foolish and obedient people. The reason why I chose to come back here is because above the court and the temple, there are people as gentle and wooden as sheep, and they can be slaughtered by me. I, as long as I stand in the Central Plains, after Weijia Hainai, the world will not dare to disobey...... Mr. Xia, what else can't I do? After that, I ordered people to sail eastward and search all over the immortal islands on the sea to obtain the elixir of immortality, and then obtain the ...... of eternal life."
The more she talked, the happier she became, and someone jumped up from the left side of the roof, drew a bow and shot sharply, and three feathered arrows broke through the air.
I rolled on the ground, subconsciously reaching out and pulling on her sleeve, pulling her to the ground as well.
If it weren't for me, those three arrows would have penetrated her heart.
"Where's my brother?" the sneak attacker let out a long howl, and a dozen people flew up to the roof.
From their clothes, appearances, and weapons, I could tell the identity of each one. In fact, although there are thousands of years and several dynasties, many modern people are familiar with this group of people.
I was momentarily apprehensive, because I didn't know what the history of the great powers would be like if all these people died at the hands of the Red Sleeves.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Red Sleeves rolled over and jumped up, pointing at the group and laughing.
She has a magic weapon to defeat the enemy, even if the other party comes, it is useless.
I looked up to the sky, and there was no sign of the Light coming.
"Demon woman, the heroes of the world can't wait to drink your blood and eat your flesh-"
"Demon woman, troubles the capital, the crime is extremely evil!"
"Demon woman, let the emperor out, although he is not a good emperor, but the common people can't live without him......"
The men screamed in a mess, no one realizing that the dark shadow was approaching.
Historically, each of those people had their own way of dying. But here, no one escaped the giant kiss of the dragon-shaped monster.
"Don't kill them, they're all good people!" I cried out, but the reason was really unconvincing.
"The good guys deserve to die—" Red Sleeves roared.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The hero on the left also shouted and rushed forward, blending with the shadow of the monster in the blink of an eye.
It was clear that this state of chaos was exactly what the monster needed. The noisier the scene, the more it can break through each of them and catch them all.
The light arrived suddenly at this moment, but to my surprise, as soon as the light hit the platform, it quickly dived deep and split the dangerous building in two.
Coincidentally, the moment before the light appeared, I had already taken a few steps forward and left the Red Sleeve in order to stop the monster from committing murder. So, I was rowed to one side, and Redsleeve and the monster were isolated to the other.
I'm not afraid of these characters, but at this moment, everyone is trapped, and I don't know who will risk their lives to rescue them?
