Chapter 417: Kongtong stays alive
When Shao Hao and the others heard a few verses from the old Taoist, they were instantly stunned. They suddenly felt that the golden light in front of them was shining, their minds were blank, their bodies were like being in a quagmire, and their hands and feet seemed to be bound by countless silk threads, and they couldn't lift them.
Without waiting for the four of them to struggle, suddenly an old voice sounded in their ears, "All laws return to the source as one, all elements can be one, all the ancestors return to heaven is ancient, and all ancient times return to the true and become ancestors." Its ancestors were born in nothing, for the first yang, the first yin, the first way. ”
Although this sentence is obscure, it can feel the true meaning. This is the understanding of the Tao and the teaching of the Tao. The four of them suddenly felt that the cultivation in their bodies fluctuated slightly, and there seemed to be a kind of power agitating in their bodies. Several of them suddenly had an urge to enlighten them, feeling that if they missed this opportunity, they would probably regret it for the rest of their lives.
The old Taoist priest in the middle of the main hall gently waved the dust, and the four people who were confused outside the door suddenly began to move, and slowly walked towards the main hall with steps. Enter the main hall, walk to the four futons in the corner, and sit cross-legged.
After the four of them were seated, the two Taoist boys brought out two trays with four lamps and candles on them. The four candles appear to be naturally occurring stones, with a puddle of lamp oil on them, and the twist of the lamp is immersed in it, and a section sticks out of the lamp disc. At this moment, the candle was not lit, and was placed in front of the four men by the two boys, and then turned away.
When the Taoist boy walked out of the main hall, the old Taoist priest waved the dust again. The people in front of him immediately had a pale yellow halo all over their bodies. After the halo appeared, it condensed towards the center of the eyebrows, forming a golden yellow point of light. At the moment when this point of light appeared, a gust of fresh wind suddenly blew in the hall, and after the breeze, the hall suddenly lit up. It turned out that in the main hall, in front of everyone, there was an oil lamp, which was lit at the same time.
It turned out to be a point of light in the center of everyone's eyebrows, which fell on the oil lamp in front of him and turned into a fire. At the moment when these oil lamps were lit, everyone in the hall opened their eyes, including Shao Hao and the four of them.
When the four of them woke up, their faces changed slightly, and they didn't know when they had entered the main hall and how they had sat here, and at the same time they also noticed the oil lamp in front of them. Looking at the oil lamp, several people raised their heads and looked at the old Taoist priest in front of them.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest didn't wait for them to ask, and spoke directly, "The life lamp you are waiting for has been lit, and there is already a trace of your soul in this life lamp." This trip to a different place is a difficult journey, and it must be more than lucky. With this lamp of life, it can protect you, although you have the worry of your life, but there is no danger of elimination. In case of emergency, there is no need to worry, you can do your best to show your might. ”
Only then did Shao Hao and the others understand that this was the legendary Soul Splitting Resurrection Technique. Looking at the oil lamp in front of him, he instantly understood that this oil lamp was the Na Ling lamp, which was the key to performing this technique. It is said that this Naling cup is not simple, and its history is extremely long, dating back to the years before the formation of the stars.
They understood that the purpose of the Yellow Emperor letting them come here, in addition to moving troops, was to leave them a way back, a way to live.
"You wait for this long trip, headed by Prince Shaohao, and you must prohibit it by order and not be arbitrary. Go ahead! I'm guarding this place, so you can rest assured. After speaking, the old Taoist priest closed his eyes, obviously not intending to pay attention to the four people.
Shao Hao and the four of them looked at each other, bowed to the old Taoist priest three times, and then stood up and exited the main hall. The four of them retreated with them, along with twelve young Taoists.
The twelve Taoists bowed to Shao Hao and saluted, "Twelve sons of Kongtong, meet Prince Shao Hao." I've seen all the major generals. ”
Shao Hao, Guan Shan, Wu Luo, and Yu Er hurriedly returned the salute. Especially Guan Shan, his face showed excitement, "If we can ask for the help of the twelve sons of Kongtong, our trip will be a great success." ”
Shao Hao was a little puzzled, "Is there anything extraordinary about the cultivation strength of the twelve sons of Kongtong?" ”
"The twelve sons of Kongtong, also known as the twelve beasts of Kongtong, are recorded in the name of the earthly branch, divided into, rats, ugly cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, and pigs. Yes and no. Wu Luo said softly on the side.
The twelve did not speak, but nodded lightly with a slight smile on their faces.
Wu Luo sighed lightly, "Twelve Immortal Chiefs, I'm afraid this is for the trip to death." I would like to thank you to General Tiya for sacrificing my life for this righteous act. After speaking, he clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply to the twelve.
Shao Hao listened to Wu Luo's introduction, and he was even more confused, and Yu Er on the side was also confused. Shao Hao opened his mouth and asked, "Why is it a trip to death?" Twelve of you? ”
Guan Shan looked at Shao Hao, "The prince doesn't know, the twelve sons of Kongtong practice together, and their cultivation realms are exactly the same, they are all Da Luo Mixed Yuan Golden Immortals." As long as you make a move, it is twelve people who go out together, whether you are facing one person or a hundred people and thousands of people. Cooperate with each other and multiply the strength. However, the twelve of them have a spell that instantly increases their cultivation, and once they use it, they can exert the power of the Holy Venerable, but," Speaking of this, he paused, looked at the twelve, and hesitated whether to say it.
One of the twelve people, a tall and thin Daoist, glanced at Guan Shan, and then raised his eyes to look at Shao Hao, "The name of that spell is called Spirit Body Heaven Slashing Technique." Once this technique is cast, it will stimulate all the potential within the body, reach the highest cultivation level, and can last for an hour. However, when the time comes, we will immediately collapse and die. ”
After listening to his words, Shao Hao was in awe, and bowed his hand, "A few high righteousness, forgive this palace for being rude." I'm going to do my best to come back with a few of them in good condition. ”
is still the thin Taoist, "The prince is polite, since we have obeyed the orders of the master, we will do our best to complete the task and add glory to the master." As for whether or not there is a destiny to return, it is up to the destiny of heaven. ”
Looking at how decisive the man's words were, and then looking at the eleven people behind him, his eyes were also full of determination. Shao Hao knew that these people were proud of completing their mission, and as for their own lives, they were under the glory of the master.
Several people informed each other of their names and surnames, Shao Hao knew that the thin old man who spoke was Shen Monkey, and he also had a real name, called Juntan, and the others also had their own names, respectively, Difficult, Chi Fenruo, Setig, Shan Yan, Zhi Xu, Da Huangluo, Dun Fat, Xieqia, Zuo O, Eunuch Mao, Dayuan Xian, corresponding to the other eleven people. Then, they said goodbye to the old Taoist priest together, stepped on the colorful auspicious clouds, and went to the mountain gate.
Together with the twelve, their team of men and horses made a total of sixteen. They entered the Eighth Great Realm again and galloped towards the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Half a day later, they arrived outside the White Republic of China within the Nantian Gate. Seeing the north gate of the White Republic of China, the peddlers and pawns shuttled like weaving. This scene is not at all like it has just been attacked by a foreign race.
However, after a little thought, I figured it out, after all, the alien race attacked the Nantian Gate, and the Nantian Gate was connected with the Supreme Formation, which had unimaginable protective capabilities, and these Chinese people did not panic at all. What's more, at that time, there were still hundreds of thousands of defenders outside the gate, fighting with foreign races, and the war could not reach the White Republic at all. Therefore, on the day of the alien evacuation, the White Republic returned to normal order.
Shao Hao and the others, after entering the city, did not stop for half a moment, and went straight to Nantianmen. When he came to the door, at the general guarding the door, Shao Hao threw out a jade plaque, which was engraved with secret characters.
The general took it, and when he saw the secret words on the jade plate, he was startled and hurriedly ran to the lookout above the gate.
On the lookout, at this moment, another female general in a white battle robe looked at the battlefield where there were still traces of blood, and she was stunned. This female general has a pretty face, a high nose and a cherry mouth, phoenix eyes and long eyebrows, although she has a peerless appearance, she has a woman's courage to not let her eyebrows. At this moment, hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, her brows furrowed, and the female general's thoughts were interrupted by the footsteps, and her face showed displeasure.
Turning around, he saw a burly general running behind him, holding a crystal clear token in his hand.
"Report to the general, more than a dozen people have come to the city gate, and they are going out of the city. The humble general did not dare to make an assertion, so he came to report to the general. ”
The female general took the token from the general's hand, looked at it for a moment, and suddenly her heart moved, "The things of the imperial palace!" Where are those people, take me there. ”
The general led the way in front of him, leading the female general down the stairs and coming to Shao Hao and the others. From the first time he saw Shao Hao, he recognized him, but he said in a tone of voice as he walked, "I don't know if the prince is driving, Jingwei has lost his welcome, and I hope the prince will forgive me." "This female general is Jingwei.
Shao Hao took the token in Jingwei's hand and smiled, "It turned out to be Jingwei's sister, I haven't seen her for many years, and she is becoming more and more beautiful." We're going to go out of town, and I'm hoping that my sister will help open the gate and let me wait to get out. ”
Jingwei glanced at the others and found that except for a woman and another man in a soap robe, everyone else was dressed as Taoists. Although Guan Shan worked as an envoy in Dongtianmen, his Taoist dress has never changed. It's no wonder that Jingwei recognized him as a Taoist priest.
"With you here, not to mention the Imperial Palace Secret Token, how dare I disobey. Open the door and let Prince Shaohao out of the city. ”
The sergeant who controlled the gate hurriedly turned the mechanism, and with a series of turning sounds, the two gates of the South Heavenly Gate opened again. When the gate reached a zhang wide, Shao Hao and the others hugged their fists to Jingwei and walked out quickly.
At the moment when he and Jingwei staggered, Jingwei asked Xiang Shaohao in a low voice, "Are you going to save General Gu?" ”
Shao Hao and the others were stunned, but when they saw Jingwei's eyes looking at other places, these people did not answer. However, Shao Hao still coughed lightly, which was counted as a response.
Jingwei looked at the figure of the group through the narrower and narrower crack in the door, and suddenly bit his silver teeth, and said to the person beside him, "Go and ask the Jianmu God to guard the city gate." The figure moved slightly, and swept out of the gate that was about to close.
Perhaps hearing the footsteps behind them, Wu Luo and Yu Er first looked back, and then the others also turned back and saw Jingwei running towards them.
"Sister Jingwei, the future of our trip is dangerous, you can't follow it." When Shao Hao saw Jingwei, his heart tightened, and he shouted in a low voice.
Jingwei came to everyone and looked at Shao Hao, "Your Royal Highness, if you don't go to save General Gu, I will return to the city immediately and never disturb." If you really go to save General Gu, I still hope that you can take me with you, after all, he is my life-saving father. ”
"Help? How to say this. Shao Hao asked with some puzzlement.
"At the beginning, I insisted on going out of the city, but I didn't expect to give people of different races a chance. It was Engong who blocked those people from the door in order to protect us, so that we were able to lock the Nantian Gate and not let the people of other races succeed. Therefore, my life is gracious, and I am willing to give it in order to save him. Jingwei said in a firm tone.
Guan Shan opened his mouth and said, "General Jingwei, we know your feelings. However, this time it has been full of crises. Several of us have left the soul of resurrection in Huaxia, and even if we die, we will not be wiped out, but in a few years, we will be completely resurrected. And you don't have any hope of resurrection, and if you are really in danger, there is no hope of resurrection. I also hope that General Jingwei will think deeply. ”
Jingwei looked at Guan Shan and smiled slightly, "How do you know that I don't have any hope of resurrection, my father is Shennong, and he has many ways to save people." Seeing that I am stationed on the frontier, I have already left a way back for me. Rest assured, let's go. After saying that, he patted him lightly on the head, and a metal mask that covered his face fell.
Guan Shan looked at Shao Hao, Shao Hao also smiled bitterly, he and Jingwei have known each other since childhood, and they know that this woman is stubborn and stubborn, once she makes a decision, she can't move. Looking at her words, although I don't know whether they are true or false, if you want to persuade her to go back, no one can do it, so she can only go with her.
However, Shao Hao seems to feel that Jingwei follows, and there are some benefits, after all, there is also a Wu Luo, she was the only one before, and among the many men, there is a lot of inconvenience. At this moment, there is an extra Jingwei, who happens to sit with Wu Luo, so that she is not alone.
