In the depths of the blue water forest, the windows of the originally destroyed Buddhist hall have been replaced and the tiled roof has been rebuilt, but there are still many battle marks left inside.

The golden Buddha that was knocked open is still standing on the left side of the Buddha hall, and several craftsmen from the Thousand Machine Gate are repairing the slide rails under the floor.

In the center of the Buddha hall, there is a small case, and Zhongsun Jin sits on the ground, sketching the sketch of Hudong Fort on the paper with a ruler; On the opposite side is the father-in-law who is responsible for assisting in the defense.

Hudong Fort is on the east bank of Tianlang Lake, that is, the pass where Xie Jianlan's ancestors were stationed, after annexing the Northwest Royal Court, the border line moved forward, and Hudong Fort was replaced by the Xihai Protectorate.

However, with the appearance of the remnants of King Tianlang, there is a risk of losing control in the western frontier, and a project was started a year ago to repair the Hudong Fort, which can be regarded as building the second line of defense in the west.

Zhongsun Jin is a true sense of both civil and military, not only the status of the rivers and lakes is transcendent, but also the ancestors of the city attack and defense, construction and water conservancy, etc., and by the way, he took his disciples and grandchildren to study materials, metallurgy, equipment, medicine, etc., which can be said to involve all aspects.

But it's a pity that the rivers and lakes of the Northern and Southern Dynasties are too small, and the ability is not small.

Otherwise, it is not an exaggeration to say that Qianjimen is the power of one family, and it is not an exaggeration to open the technological generation gap between the two dynasties in the north and south.

Because the imperial court is too disobedient in terms of technical secrecy, Qianjimen actually has a lot of complaints.

At this time, Song Yi, the old protector of Qianjimen, was standing next to the Golden Buddha to supervise the repair of the doorman's repair mechanism, and kept chattering with his father-in-law:

"The difference between the smallest and the last is enough to determine the victory or defeat of the war. In ancient times, the first emperor was able to dominate the world within a few years, not relying on Wen Tao's martial arts strategy and using soldiers like gods, but only by skillful craftsmen who studied the 'stirrup'.

"With stirrups, the cavalry has free hands, like a fish in water, and the strength of the enemy is stronger. When the enemy country noticed it, the First Emperor had already approached the city, and he had no time to train the cavalry to adapt to the stirrups, and the army was already defeated.

"I have worked hard for decades, and there is more than one important weapon of the country for the imperial court, if it is not revealed until the two countries go to war, I am afraid that fighting the Southern Dynasty is no different from fighting the uncivilized barbarians.

"But the result? The disciples who went to Yun'an to study this year were specially led to the Ordnance Supervision of Yun'an to observe the new warships of the Southern Dynasty; My apprentice looked inside and out, from the keel shape to the cabin layout, it was exactly the same as the one parked at the Hudongbao shipyard.

"In order to build a new warship, it took eight years from design to material selection, and it took countless manpower and material resources; And the Southern Dynasty stole it from the military department, I'm afraid it took a few quarters of an hour. Speaking of this, what is the difference between 'measuring the material resources of the beams and forming the joy of the country'? ”

Gong Gong is in charge of the anti-theft office, and does not interfere in espionage work, but after all, he is the person of the twelve servants, and in the face of the complaint of Qianjimen, he sighed lightly:

"Song Protector said seriously, the Southern Dynasty stole a lot of things from our dynasty, and I also got the manufacturing method of black rattan bricks, dissolved oil and other things. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and since both sides regard each other as strong enemies, it is impossible to completely conceal these things.

"It's useless to talk about this matter, and at present, the matter of pills is still the most important. The Mingshen Diagram has been stolen, and if the elixir falls into the hands of the Night Terror Hall again, I am afraid that there will only be one Fengguan City left in this world that can suppress him in the future. Song Protector is sure that the traps arranged outside can be foolproof? ”

Song Protector specializes in the formation of organs in the Thousand Machine Gate, such as this kind of thing to command the disciples to deploy defenses, he is helping Master Zu to do it, and at this time he showed an unexpected face:

"From the river bank to this Buddha hall, a total of nine formations were laid out, starting with seven peerless formations and ending with three immortal formations, with a total of one hundred and eight organs, which were interlocking with each other, and moved the whole body. Not to mention that the Night Terror Hall is coming, even if the master personally goes out and walks from the river bank to the wall, he will ......."

At this point, there was a sudden pause.

Song Protector's ears moved slightly, sensing that something was not right, and turned to look at the front of the manor.

And Zhongsun Jin and Gonggong Xu, who were sitting on both sides of the small case, also turned their heads and looked at the garden outside where the night breeze was howling.

Click......

The subtle movement of the iron rubbing the stone bricks, with the night wind, although the distance was extremely far, there was no concealment, and even deliberately let the internal hands hear, so that everyone present clearly felt an ominous aura of 'the mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings'.

"Who?"

"Beware of ......"

With the strange noise, the masters who were patrolling the periphery of the manor immediately realized that something was wrong, and jumped up to a high place to check out, and opened their mouths to scold.

Song Protector and Father-in-law Xu, seeing this, wanted to go out to take a look, but before Father-in-law Xu got up, they heard a voice outside:

Boom –

In the explosion, the long silent night, which was originally as dark as ink, exploded into a monstrous fire, followed by the noisy sound of flying knives and hidden weapons and bricks and tiles breaking.

Gong Gong looked at it fixedly, and it could be seen that in the far distance in front of the Buddha Hall, a wild dragon with smoke and dust suddenly appeared, which instantly rushed from the distant river bank to the white high wall, directly smashed the wall, and the aftermath of the energy rushed straight in, and even blew off the candle flame in the Buddha Hall.

The guards of the Bishui Forest, who originally jumped up and were about to check, saw this scene, and were shocked to scatter, and retreated to the Buddha Hall almost at the same time.

A few people who were too far forward were directly swept into the earth dragon that was carrying countless hidden weapons and broken tiles, and only made a short sound, and they were buried by the billowing dust mist.

Bang la la la -

When Gonggong Xu and Song Protector saw this scene, their faces changed suddenly, and they took a step back.

As the flames in the temple returned to straightness, the churning dust and mist outside the blue water forest was quickly blown away by the night wind, revealing the gap in the wall and the landscape forest that was almost leveled after the gap.

The landscape forest was originally planted with countless flowers and trees, but at this time the lawn has been destroyed, revealing the loess below and turning into a loess straight road more than a foot wide.

And at the end of the road, there is the white stone road by the river, a black-robed figure wearing a hat, holding a spear obliquely in his right hand, striding towards the gap, the hat is slightly lowered and can only see the chin covered by the black scarf, but the terrifying momentum like the black cloud pressing the city still instantly makes everyone in the blue water forest understand who is coming.

"Night...... Night Terrors? ”

"Go and call your father-in-law and they ......."

The countless guards who were originally suppressed saw the black-robed figure strolling outside knew that something was wrong, and they didn't even have the courage to stand in the way, so they all stepped back.

And the three great eunuchs guarding in the blue water forest jumped to the top of the building complex in brocade robes at this time, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

Father-in-law originally wanted to scold him, but it was estimated that the night devil would not listen, so he said urgently to his colleagues:

"Fireworks send everyone to come and help......"

Woohoo –

As the words fell, two beams of fireworks burst into the sky and exploded in mid-air.

Treading ......

The Night Terror Hall carried a nine-foot spear and stepped across the yellow mud road, turning a blind eye to the fireworks that rose into the sky, after all, Bingtuo Tuo had been surveying for a day, Fang Yuan had no masters to hide at all, and the others came from the capital twenty miles away, and the time was enough for him to go in and out three or five times.

Seeing that everyone was like a great enemy, but Zhongsun Jin did not show up, the night terror hall was not easy to rush forward, and unhurriedly came to the gap in the wall, looking at the Buddhist hall in the distance:

"There was already a fight two days ago, and Mr. Zhongsun didn't show up, could it be that he didn't know the bottom of his heart, and wanted to let these stinky fish and shrimp rot first, and then try a certain way at night?"

Zhongsun Jin faced the uninvited arrival of the Night Terror Hall, and did not make a big mess, he got up slowly and picked up the black sheath sword from the Buddha statue:

"The night boy is really bold, he went deep behind the enemy and swam in the shallows, and dared to kill again. The young man has already appeared two days ago, and the old man has been preparing here for two days in advance, just in case, are you sure you can get out of the way? ”

Night Terror Hall single-handedly rushed into the big array placed by Zhong Sun Jin, it must have been unsure that he would retreat, but he didn't come alone, so he didn't have much fear for this, and Yao Yao responded:

"Whether you can get out of it or not, you have to fight to know. If Mr. Zhongsun only prepared these bells and whistles outside, Ye still advised you to hand over the Dan Fang as soon as possible, and when you are old, you should take care of the days and years, and do things for the court, and you can't take your life if you can't take your life. ”

"Huh...... The night boy is young and vigorous. ”

Zhongsun Jin walked across the cobblestone trail with a sword, came to the dragon and phoenix shadow wall of the manor, looked at the black-robed figure standing at the wall, flipped his left hand, and took out a small medicine box from behind his waist:

"The elixir is here, if you want it, just take it."

Stomp ......

Seeing this, the surrounding guards all retreated to the periphery.

This move is not to advocate martial virtue and let Night Terror Hall and Zhongsun Jin fight each other, but the entire manor, which is a 'Demon Slaying Array', and their group of miscellaneous fish is purely in the way.

And Gonggong Xu, Song Protector and others hid in the shadows, and there was no sound, obviously in place according to Zhongsun Jin's arrangement.

Whew~~

But in an instant, there was silence in the vast cloud forest, and only the faint sound of flags and torches blown by the night wind.

Night Terror Hall stood at the gap in the wall, holding a nine-foot spear, and after glancing at Zhongsun Jin, he strode onto the white stone ground behind the wall.

Step, step......

呲呲~

Only three steps forward, between the houses and buildings on the left and right, bursts of white smoke came out, gradually obscuring the vision with the wind, and the figure of Zhongsun Jin under the shadow wall in the distance was also blurred.

Night Terror Hall looked calm, and after a little scrutiny, he spoke:

"It's just going to be a trick?"

Zhongsun Jin in the distance did not respond, but there was the sound of the door being broken not far away.

Click-

Then came the muffled sound of the giant stomping on the earth:

Knock, knock......

Night Terror Hall frowned, and looked into the depths of the smoke by the firelight, only to see the silhouette of two more figures in the white mist.

The figure is one size larger than normal, about the same as Xuanyuan Chao, who is more than two meters old, and his waist circumference is as big as Tu Jiul's, and at first glance it looks like a small mountain, walking towards him with heavy steps, one holding a hook and sickle gun that is more than two feet long, and the other holding a long-handled copper hammer.

And Zhong Sun Jin's rich voice also sounded from inside the manor at this time:

"Liang studied Tianlang Zhu Yijiazi, and there was more than one recipe for pondering, and there were a lot of waste products. The old man is a man in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't like these out-of-the-way methods that are contrary to human ethics, but he can't be informal when he serves the country.

"These two righteous men, named Chen Chao and Feng Yu, were classmates when they were silent and silent, but they failed to survive after taking the medicine and became what they are today. If they can leave you behind today, or die at the hands of you, they will be considered to have fulfilled righteousness, and they will be liberated. ”

Knock Knock......

As the two figures approached, Night Terror Hall also looked at the silhouettes of the two people.

The two figures were covered with heavy iron armor, and the cold iron helmet wrapped the entire head, not even eyeholes, only the fierce grimace engraved on the front of the helmet, which looked like two steel giants from a distance.

The two armorers wrapped in heavy armor seemed to have no senses, and after walking to the left and right of the Night Terror Hall, they stopped and stood silently with their weapons in their hands.

Night Terror Hall carried a spear, and after a slight glance, he looked around at the white mist:

"Just these two iron bumps, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop me."

There was no response from Zhongsun Jin in the mist, but instead there was a flute sound:

"Woo~woo......"

Boom –

Almost at the same moment when the flute sounded, the armor soldiers standing on the left and right sides came straight out of place without warning, and stepped on a round pit in the ground.

One was armed with a hook and sickle spear that was more than a foot long, piercing the waist and abdomen of the night terror; The other person held his hammer high and smashed it directly on the head of the Night Terror!

Night Terror Hall just glanced at this, and realized that the armor was no longer human, after all, from the perspective of size, this explosive power completely exceeded the limit that ordinary people could bear, let Xuanyuan Chao or Tu Jiu Lin come like this, it is estimated that they can pull the tendon on the spot.

Boom –

The two behemoths landed at the same time, the hook and sickle spear passed through the Standing Position of the Night Terror Hall, and the two heavy hammers also fell on the floor tiles, tearing apart the masonry in an instant, and the aftermath directly shook a circular wave on the White Rock Avenue.

And the Night Terror Hall, which was originally standing with a gun, had no intention of scheming with these two stupid big men at all, so he took a step forward and flashed to the side, stepped on the trunk of the tree with both feet, slid a black folded line in the air, and rushed directly to the center, whirling with a gun in mid-air.

Phew-

The spear stirred the night wind, and the surging energy poured out, instantly blowing away the smoke in the square circle, and pushing a huge ring into the manor, revealing the original complex.

But Zhongsun Jin, who was originally standing under the shadow wall, has disappeared.

Night Terror frowned, and quickly searched for traces of his opponent in the complex, never thinking that in the next moment, there was a sound of machine reinforcement in the house below:

Click......

Bang –

Then the roof of the house exploded, spewing out a waist-thick fire dragon, and a viscous burning liquid scattered around the perimeter, apparently a special fire oil.

Night Terror didn't need to think about it to know that this thing was sticking to its body, and it had to shed several layers of skin, and in the face of the sudden heat wave, it immediately slashed downward, splitting the fire dragon and the house in two, and at the same time, the tip of the gun clicked on the broken wall and flashed to the side.

Bite~

And the two armorers who missed the blow turned around and chased after them at the same time as the Night Terror Hall, and the heavy hammer smashed directly into the Night Terror Hall's landing point.

As soon as the Night Terror Hall landed on the ground, the twin hammers had already pressed the top, and the flaming spears were immediately blocked.

Bell –

The figure of the Night Terror Hall did not seem to shake in the loud sound of the gold and iron clash, but the spear bought by Bing Tuotuo for seven hundred taels of silver, under the strong brute force of both sides, was like a bamboo pole, bent instantly, and smashed into the chest and abdomen of the Night Terror Hall together with the hammer, and the hook and sickle also followed, pouring into the chest and abdomen again.

And at the same time that the two of them locked their positions together, a sword light had quietly lit up behind the Night Terror Hall, and there was no prelude to any moves, and they came to ten zhang away silently......
