Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Three Parties Compete for the Golden Cicada
"At the end of Kun and the beginning of Yong, there were homeless people in the East China Sea who rebelled, and the incident started in February and was defeated in May. Its leader, Wu Fu, was born as a craftsman, led the remnants of his army to build ships, and fled overseas. Wandering for half a decade and encountering a sea beast, Wu Fu tempted and captured, not wanting the sea beast to fall off the deck and become an ape, so he bowed to Wu Fu and begged for mercy. Wu Fuqizhi personally loosened the tie and appeased in every way, and asked about overseas affairs, the ape only said that there is a golden cicada country a hundred miles away, and there are many golden cicadas in the country. Wu Fu was overjoyed, and said that the ape sought the way to become a child, and the ape smiled and did not say a word, and only went to the island to know. Then go to the island, there are trees and clouds, the leaves are huge like mountains, and the golden cicadas are hanging on the shell and perching, as big as people. Wu Fu wanted to ask the ape, but the ape was gone.
The East China Sea garrison learned that Wu Fu had fled overseas, so they sent the water division to the sea to pursue him. In another two months, the sailor turned back and said that he saw his ship but not his people, and when he was about to be on guard, he suddenly saw gold sticking to his armor. Looking at it closely, it is a cicada shell, and there are patterns like blessing characters"
"Smack!"
Liu Yun closed the scroll and threw it back to the Xuanmiao Gate.
The carriage bumped on the official road, the curtains flew, and from time to time you could see the long grass stone monuments on both sides of the road.
"Godfather, what are you looking at?" Jiang Xiaohou drilled his little head out from behind the Moon East God and asked curiously.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't! Calm down and recuperate, and you will kill people in a while. ”
Liu Yun said impatiently, saying this, but he couldn't calm down in his heart for a while.
No wonder he felt that the golden cicada sounded familiar, and it turned out that there was also an article about the golden cicada in the legendary story left by Feng Zhenlei. Coincidentally, the Feng family is overseas, and the golden cicada in the story is also from overseas, but now this golden cicada is left by Feng Bo, and the connection between them is obvious. However, Liu Yun was sure that Feng Bo had not read the legendary story, because he cultivated true qi and could not open the mysterious door, but the golden cicada he found was related to Feng Zhenlei. That is to say, before Feng Zhenlei broke through the void to find the gods, at least three things were left, one was "Thirteen Strikes of Shaking the Sky", the second was the Xuanmiao Gate, and the third was the golden cicada. The Thirteen Blows of the Earthquake are used to open the Xuanmiao Gate, and there are many legendary stories in the Xuanmiao Gate, among which this one faintly points to the golden cicada, which seems to imply that future generations will go overseas to look for it, but they were mistakenly hit by Feng Bo and found it in advance without reading that story.
The crux of the matter is, what exactly is the use of the golden cicada?
The night breeze was blowing, and Liu Yun's thoughts were also spreading.
This year's southeast region is particularly lively, if he did not appear, Qi Yue has married the Jiang family, taking advantage of the defeat of the Tianyong expeditionary force overseas, a large-scale invasion of the southernmost Luo Ze country of the three southeastern countries, kicking off the prelude to the troubled times. And with the arrival of Liu Yun, the chaos in the southeast region is out of control, and the future forces are beginning to emerge, Yuedong God, Li Zi said, Baishan River, Dugu Peacock In the dark, there seems to be an invisible undercurrent extending from the early years of Tianyong thousands of years ago to the present, ready to move, about to turn into a huge tide to sweep the southeast.
"Xiao Yunyun, don't get distracted. They're right in front. ”
Yuedongshen fiddled with the wine bag and said casually.
The carriage was driven by Bo Chihuafei, and in the carriage sat Liu Yun, Yuedongshen and Jiang Xiaohou. The four of them bypassed most of Xifang to reach the official road between Xifang and the inner city in advance, and then drove back, pretending to be passers-by, so that they could be more sure to break through the guards of the brigade and capture the golden cicada that fell into the hands of Jiangwei Marquis and Liang.
Looking at the side face of Yuedong God sunk in the shadows, Liu Yun's eyes flickered.
Bo Chihua Fei was desperate and could only follow himself, Jiang Xiaohou, this kid was almost brainwashed, and he could barely be regarded as a confidant. But the Moon East God is different, the future Emperor of the Martial Domain, a real overseas cultivator with a mysterious identity, his attitude towards himself seems to have changed too quickly.
Suddenly, Liu Yun turned his gaze to the window: "Why help me?" ”
"Help? Are you talking about helping you block the sky and Jiang Xinyue the night before, or are you going to kill people tonight? Yuedongshen smiled gloomily, and there was a slight self-deprecation in his tone.
"Both." Liu Yun turned his head and looked directly at the East God of the Moon.
"Ha, you're so forgetful." Yuedongshen met Liu Yun's gaze, shrugged his shoulders and said, "A certain family said that a certain family only helps three kinds of people. Friends, women, and friends' women, what do you think you are? ”
Jiang Xiaohou next to him was stunned when he heard this, pinched his chin, and thought about it: "What kind of godfather is it?"
Liu Yun was outraged.
"Such a simple question! Do you need to think about it for so long! Idiot! ”
Staring at Jiang Xiaohou, who shrank back with a stupid smile, Liu Yun scolded.
Except for the self-respecting momentum that was revealed at first glance, this little monkey Jiang is really stupid and stupid, not at all like the four monkeys in the legend. Fortunately, with the passage of time, his strength has gradually increased, and the small body of a three- or four-year-old child can burst out with a strength of nearly 10,000 catties without relying on his true qi and essence blood, plus the martial arts occasionally taught by Liu Yun and others, he can barely be used as a little minion. This is also the purpose of Liu Yun bringing him here this time, and real growth still depends on blood and killing.
Through the curtains, Liu Yun looked into the depths of the moonlight, and could vaguely see the team of people and horses sailing from Xifang to the inner city.
When the people and horses of Jiangwei Hou entered the land of a hundred steps, Liu Yun calmed down and the gods floated.
The other party has a total of two carriages and 323 guards, and the cultivation is about four times in the entrance road, and the overall strength is already good. In the first carriage, Jiangwei Marquis Tang Yuxi hugged two plump and bewitching women left and right, and his hands were up and down, very happy. As for the chief manager He, he sat in the back carriage, meditating cross-legged and restraining his spirits. The golden cicada was being placed in front of Tang Yuxi at this time, showing off to his love Ji, and bursts of laughter came from the carriage from time to time.
"Master Hou, the concubine likes this little thing so much, why don't you give it to the concubine."
"Ben Hou can give you anything, but this one can't."
"Why, Master Hou, you are so stingy!"
"It's not that Benhou is stingy, but this thing is not as simple as you think. If it is placed in the eyes of knowledgeable goods, this little golden cicada is enough to buy half of Qijing. ”
"Giggles, that's worth a lot of money. So, if it is dedicated to the eldest princess, how much reward does the princess think Her Royal Highness will give? Well, plus the head of the Hou Ye. ”
"You're the Ones Who Came"
Liu Yun's mood fluctuated, and the gods sank instantly.
It's Tang Yuchen!
This little lady is really scheming and ruthless, and she actually planted people around Jiangwei Hou in advance, and the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind.
About eighty paces away, the group had stopped, and the guards dressed in the same uniform were killing each other. Tang Yuxi stumbled out of the carriage, his chest was already dripping with blood, and he fought and retreated in the face of the second daughter's attack.
"Big brother! How to be good! ”
Bo Chihuafei, who was driving, hurriedly shouted and asked.
"Nonsense, rush up and grab it!" Liu Yun shouted.
As far as his eyes could see, Liu Yun saw that Chief Liang in the second carriage had already picked up Tang Yuxi and flew towards the inner city, that is, the direction where several of them were.
He stepped on a gang sword at his feet, and he flew away, which was a sign of the Tianyi realm.
Liu Yun and the four of them had already learned from Lang Wuzhi that this Chief He was a master of the Tianyi Realm, but with the ban of Emperor Yong, he didn't dare to make a move, unless he was willing to be punished for a thousand years.
"Ready, just grab the golden cicada."
Liu Yun lowered his voice and said, Gangbing Fengyue had fallen into the palm of his hand.
"Yes! Eldest brother! Bo Chihuafei replied loudly, straightened up at the front of the carriage, shook his wrist, held a blood thorn hammer in his right hand, and picked up a bear's head shield from his feet in his left hand.
However, just when the two sides were only more than fifty steps apart, the mutation occurred again.
Manager He, who was flying in mid-air, suddenly paused, grabbed Tang Yuxi and moved to the left, just avoiding an ice arrow that came out of the air. Immediately afterwards, the sound of breaking wind came, and eight black-clothed men all drove the birds and flew from the depths of the night to outflank and intercept Xiang He. Before they got closer, they had already shot true qi weapons, swords, guns and arrows, vertical and horizontal.
If Manager He can make a move, and there are eight more such entry paths, he will not be afraid at all.
But he was restrained by Emperor Yong's ban and Zichen Divine Court, and he carried Tang Yuxi, who was seriously injured with one hand, and his white and beardless face was slightly anxious at this time. He was afraid not only of these five sixfold masters, but also of the secret Taoist who didn't know where to hide to cast the ice arrow.
"Shoot, He Gong!" Tang Yuxi clutched his bleeding chest and shouted almost pleadingly, his eyes revealing a thick hatred.
He naturally guessed who the person who could place a pawn in the beauty of his mansion and instigate his personal defense to rebel. But he never expected that she would start so early, and she was so ruthless.
"Gong He, if you don't go back, I will let Brother Wang punish you for serious crimes!"
Seeing that Manager He was just parrying and dodging, and was already blocked in mid-air, Tang Yuxi was in a hurry, and threatened without words.
A haze flashed in Mr. He's eyes.
At this moment, a gloomy laughter rang out, echoing in the sky, flickering left and right, up and down.
After all, Manager He is a master of the Tianyi Realm, and his sensing power far surpasses that of everyone else.
In an instant, a slight chill surged in his heart, and he suddenly rose half a foot upward, which could avoid the white jade-like hand. He avoided it, but Tang Yuxi couldn't avoid it, and at some point, the Yuedong God who appeared in mid-air reached out and inserted it into Tang Yuxi's waist, causing Tang Yuxi to let out a heart-rending scream.
Another chill surged into Mr. He's heart, but at this time, he was really old, and he was already more than capable of strength.
Almost at the moment when Chief Manager He rose upward, a blood-colored soldier like a moon and a hook cut through the night and flew towards Tang Yuxi.
"Click!"
Tang Yuxi's hand holding the golden cicada was cut off by Qi Wrist, blood gushed out, and he fainted in pain.
The falling Moon East God swayed like a fallen leaf in the wind, avoiding the true qi volley of the eight black-clothed people, catching the golden cicada in mid-air, and throwing it at Liu Yun with his backhand.
"Smack!"
When the golden cicada arrived, Liu Yun showed ecstasy and shouted: "!" ”
It was only at this time that the gate of the inner city not far away opened, and the Qi Yue Forbidden Army rode horses and beasts, rushing like a tide to rescue Tang Yuxi, who was dying.

(There was a mistake before, Tang Yuxi couldn't be crowned king, and it has been changed to Jiangwei Marquis)
