From Heituan City to Huangming Mountain, although there are no mountains and rivers to block it, there are no uninhabited areas such as the Gobi Desert along the way.

The horse team led by Li Si marched towards Huangmingshan day and night, because they were afraid of being intercepted and killed, and basically only made short stops along the way, which can be said to be a death run of the horse.

Although the Monk and the others did not complain, this was a bitter pain for the Night Terror Hall and others who were tracking behind.

The night terror hall can not be thrown too far, although the horse is also a good horse, the speed can keep up completely, but there is no rest time on the road, stop to let the horse rest for less than an hour, you have to continue to set off on the road, and so on, not to mention sleep, even eating and drinking must be carried out on the horse.

Fortunately, this attack did not last long, and after two days of galloping west from Black Cluster City, the two teams arrived near Dolan Valley.

After passing the Dolan Valley, you will reach the point of no return, and there will be basically no supplies on the way back, so you must rest for a night near the Dolan Valley to recuperate, and prepare enough drinking water and dry food before you can set off.

In order not to be discovered, the Night Terror Hall did not follow into the Duolan Valley, but opened a distance of more than twenty miles, and only camped on the bank of a small river at the foot of the mountain to rest.

When the silver moon was in the sky, the three horses stopped on the grass by the river, Hua Qingzhi was helped off the horse by the green beads, and sat on the grass rubbing her calves, relaxing her sour muscles and bones.

Fan Qinghe took the blanket from the side of the horse, spread the grass on the grass, and took the prepared dry food.

Night Terror Hall picked up clean water by the river to wash his face, and chatted with the water around him at the same time:

"Are you sure you can find water in the Primary? If we are not sure, we will bring more, so as not to run out of drinks when we get it, and we have to go to Li Si to borrow it. ”

Xuanji Zhenren sat on a stone downstream, took off his embroidered shoes, put his white feet in the water, and held a wine gourd in his hand:

"I used to walk through the No Return to the Original, and I know a few water sources, if something goes wrong, your family law can deal with it."

The family law of the night family is determined by Ning'er and Sanniang, and there is no specific content, that is, you can't refuse when you are tossed, you can do anything.

When Night Terror heard this, he naturally believed in Shui Shui's ability, and his eyes took advantage of the situation to look at the feet and white calves soaked in the water.

As a result, when Xuanji Zhenren saw this, he generously raised his feet and sent them to the Night Terror Hall for him to touch.

Although Night Terror Hall thought about it, Hua Qingzhi was behind him, and he was afraid that it would be a bit of a collapse when he played this trick, but after sneaking it twice, he put away his distracting thoughts and came to the grass to ask:

"How? Can you bear it? ”

Hua Qingzhi sat on the ground on the blanket, and her face was also a little sandy, but her expression was very energetic:

"I haven't walked, so I can't bear it, it's the horses that I should care about."

Green Bead sat down in front of him and handed the water bladder to Night Terror:

"Miss has not been out of the door since she was a child, and she doesn't have much chance to go far away, and the night boy can take it out for a walk, and he is in a good mood, and he hummed a few words just now."

"Oh?" Night Terror Hall took the water bladder and asked curiously, "What tune?" ”

Hua Qingzhi is good at poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just touching the scene and humming casually, seeing that the night terror hall is curious, she said implicitly:

"In the past, I was in Guozijian, and I listened to the students of the Xihai tribes singing, huh...... Before the rain passes over the mountain~ The grass and trees are fragrant~ The water is clear and the sand is shallow~ See the mandarin duck ......"

Qing He, who was distributing dry food next to him, naturally brightened his eyes when he heard this tone, and said with a smile:

"Miss Hua is really knowledgeable, and she even knows the Wangshan ballad of the Wuma Department."

"That's it, Sister Fan is the king of the Winter Hades, you should have heard of it, right?"

Fan Qinghe has been able to sing and dance since he was a child, and he also has the pipa that Zhang brought from the winter underworld, seeing that Hua Qingzhi was curious, he was not stingy, sat down on the blanket, and sang with a delicate voice:

"Lang is on the mountain~ When will he return, the concubine's heart is like water~ empty hope~ ......"

Listening to Aunt Fan's smart voice, Night Terror wanted to hug her shoulders and shake it together, but Hua Qingzhi was obviously not suitable next to her, so she picked a leaf casually and brought it to her mouth to help with the rhythm to help with the music:

"Woo woo~~"

Hua Qingzhi turned her cheeks when she saw this, and her eyes were surprised:

"Nightboy can also play tunes?"

Xuanji Zhenren was originally admiring the moon by the river, and when he saw a few people singing a little song around, he also came over and sat down in front of him to answer:

"He not only knows how to play tunes, but also plays, 'light and slow twisting, wiping and picking', the kung fu is perfect, I don't believe you ask Qinghe."

"Really?!"

Fan Qinghe, who was singing, saw that the demon girl was not serious as soon as she came, so she sang and stuffed the bag of dry food into her hand:

"Eat your things, coax other little girls all day long, are you embarrassed?"

"Hehe......"

Night Terror shook his head and smiled, although he was tired from a long journey, it was quite a taste to rest and play around like this at night.

Originally, according to the estimate, Li Si would stay in Dolan Valley for the night, and they would set off tomorrow morning.

But just as a few people had finished their dry food and were lying side by side on the blankets looking at the moon and preparing to rest, Night Terror Hall noticed a black dot flying over the mountains, circling above, and speeding away in the direction of Dolan Valley.

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall immediately turned over and sat up, and turned his eyes to look at the mountains; Xuanji Zhenren also sat up:

"What's wrong?"

"There's a situation, I'll go over and take a look."

Seeing the birds coming and going in a hurry, the night terror did not delay, and immediately bounced up, grabbed the saber from his side, and galloped towards the mountains......

——

Earlier, Doran Valley.

The Dolan Valley is a large basin nestled between the mountains, covered in knee-deep weeds and a small village in the center.

Originally, the family members of Jiang Zahu lived in seclusion in the village, but last year this place was surrounded and suppressed by King Zuo Xian and others, Jiang Zahu definitely did not dare to let his family live here again, the people in the village have migrated to Hongshan, and the village has been completely abandoned in half a year, and even the vegetable field in the fence wall is buried by weeds.

Hoofs hooves dack......

A team of nearly twenty horses galloped in from the valley mouth and stopped at the edge of the basin, even if it had been more than half a year, a few battle marks could still be seen in the basin

It was the first time that Li Si had come to Huangmingshan, glanced at his horse, and asked:

"Camp in this place, make sure it's safe?"

The monk replied: "Last year, King Zuo Xian of your country fought with the Night Terror Hall of the Southern Dynasty here, and Jiang Zahu also participated. Let's go and settle down in the village, where there is a well. ”

Li Si looked at the deserted scene and felt that there was no threat, so he led the team towards the village in the center of the basin, chatting about the precautions for crossing the desert along the way.

But the group had just walked less than half a mile, and before they reached the vicinity of the village, Hua Junchen, who was following him, suddenly raised his hand:

"Slow."

More than 20 people left the silence, and Xu Tianying, who was in charge of the guard, jumped up lightly from his horse and landed in front of Li Si, with three points of caution on his face.

Knock~Knock~Knock~......

Li Si didn't know the situation at first, but as everyone fell silent, he faintly heard the sound of a wooden fish in the basin.

The percussion sound of the wooden fish is not hurried or slow, it feels very far away, but if you listen carefully, it seems to be close at hand, and the rhythm of the percussion seems to be able to affect people's minds, so that Li Si, who is mediocre in martial arts, feels a little dull in his chest.

Hoofs hooves dack......

Just when everyone was facing a great enemy, there was suddenly a little chaos in the rear.

Li Si quickly looked back, but saw that the pure space monk who was originally giggling was already as white as paper at some point, riding a horse and slowly retreating, staring at the dead and silent town in front of him with his eyes, just like a lonely ghost suddenly bumped into a god and Buddha.

Although Hua Junchen's martial arts attainments are mediocre, his brain is not stupid, and when he saw the appearance of the pure space monk, he understood that he had reached the Ghost Gate, and immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to retreat, and Xu Tianying also broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and retreated with several Beiliang masters.

Knock, knock, knock......

In the basin, the sound of the wooden fish not changing in the slightest, and it seemed that they did not mind the sudden intruder of outsiders leaving.

But the monk is a person from the Thousand Buddhas Temple, and he can understand what kind of character the true Buddha in the village is.

Shenchen Zen Master is a monk who is serious and does not kill, but the people of the rivers and lakes do not feel that the Shenchen monk is merciful because of this, on the contrary, for the people of the rivers and lakes of Shazhou, the Shenchen Zen Master is more like a devil in the rivers and lakes than the Night Terror Hall.

Night Terror Hall is brutal and brutal, but the code of conduct is 'guilty and decided', although the death is a little ugly, but you can always die a happy death.

And Shenchen Zen Master is different, no matter who you are, as long as you are caught doing evil deeds, you will be detained in the Thousand Buddha Temple, so that you will not do evil things again, and then persuade you to go astred and repent.

It sounds like a Buddha's compassion, but there is no time limit for this 'exhortation'.

If you don't repent, you will keep persuading, and if you repent, you will naturally go home, and if you refuse to become a monk, you will not repent, which is equivalent to a dead cycle, as long as you are detained, it is impossible to leave the temple again in this life.

The monk Jingkong stole a hanger of sesame oil money in the temple when he was a teenager, was caught and detained in the Thousand Buddha Temple, and chanted scriptures in the temple until he was in his thirties, but he failed to atone for his sins; And his foreman, the master, because he peeked at the woman of the good family taking a bath, burned the fire in the kitchen until he was more than sixty.

You must know that stealing a hanging of money or peeking at a woman taking a bath, and putting it in the black ya, it is only a fifteen-day detention and a few boards, and the Thousand Buddha Temple directly said that the sentence was life imprisonment, which is not more vicious than the Night Yama King?

The monk of Jingkong took advantage of the abbot of Shenchen to go out to preach, and tried his best to escape from the Thousand Buddha Temple, and he dreamed every day that he was afraid of being caught, and even thought that if he was really caught, he would commit suicide directly, so that he could die a happy death.

But now that he is shouldering a heavy responsibility, he can't just commit suicide, Shenchen Zen Master came in person, and it is impossible to escort him to escape with these three melons and two dates around him.

Knowing that it was impossible to run away, the monk finally stopped, stepped forward and knelt in the grass again, and said loudly:

"The wicked clear, visit the abbot. When I escaped from the Thousand Buddha Temple without permission, the sin was one of the criminals, and I was willing to take the initiative to return to the Thousand Buddha Temple with the abbot to continue practicing, and I hope that the abbot can open up the net and let go of my friends, they are all innocent people. ”

Knock knock.

After three more sounds, the wooden fish stopped, and the atmosphere in the basin turned to dead silence.

Li Si and the others frowned, looked at the village deep in the grass, and slowly found a figure walking through the waist-high grass under the moonlight.

Rustle~

When everyone looked closely, they could see that the person was of medium stature, with a two-foot-long white beard on his lower jaw, nine knots on the top of his head, a solemn face, a red and yellow robe, a Buddhist bead hanging around his neck, and a brass Zen staff in his left hand.

Although the monk has been in the Thousand Buddha Temple for more than ten years, he has never dared to look at the abbot of Shenchen with his eyes.

And the remaining more than ten people, although they didn't feel any sense of oppression, but they didn't feel any breath, which was the biggest sense of oppression, and they slowly retreated at the moment.

Rustle~

Soon, the Shenchen Zen Master, who was holding a Zen staff, walked to the front of the horse team, and an old voice also sounded:

"Jingkong, if you are willing to exchange your life for the righteousness in your heart, you will no longer be the idiot who stole sesame oil money back then. But the war slaughtered the people, the dead and wounded were often millions, you let them go today, and countless people will be buried in the war in the coming day. ”

The monk knew that he couldn't say that he was the abbot of Shenchen, and he said:

"Although the sin of the pure void is in the present era, as long as the two dynasties are unified, it will be a ...... for thousands of years."

"If you really have the ability to assist the emperor to create a peaceful and prosperous world, Lao Wei will not come, but you don't, conniving at Huang Liansheng and conspiring with Beiliang will only bring a catastrophe to Shazhou."

“……”

The appeal of the Shatuo Ministry itself is to take advantage of the chaos to support the army and stand on its own, so that the already chaotic situation between the two dynasties will become more chaotic.

Li Si had been listening, and felt that this god-dust bald donkey was still a reasonable person, and the pressure in his heart was a little less, and he said:

"Only when the two dynasties are unified, can the people of the world usher in a peaceful and prosperous era, if the war does not maintain the status quo, and the conquest from generation to generation is the real evil. This is the contest between our dynasty and the southern dynasty, if Master Shenchen is a true saint, he should not stop the general trend of 'dividing for a long time'. ”

Zen Master Shenchen said: "The old man is just a mortal in the flesh, how can he be worthy of the word 'saint', and he has not let go of it in his heart.

"How to fight the northern and southern dynasties, Lao Wei shouldn't ask, but Huang Lian's rise to the army will inevitably make the lives of the desert in Shazhou miserable.

"Lao Gu came to stop him, saying that it sounds good, it is my Buddha's mercy, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and I can't watch the people of the Shazhou desert fall into war; To say that it is cheesy, it is the chaos in Shazhou, and everyone is in danger, which will spoil the incense of Buddhism. There are thousands of disciples under the old man's seat, if there is no almsgiving food to the people, how can they eat fast and pray for the Buddha? ”

The Thousand Buddha Temple and the Shatuo Department are the forces of the same region, one takes advantage of the situation, the other is bound to be weak, since the Northern Liang supports the Yellow Lotus to rise to the house, it is impossible not to affect the Thousand Buddha Temple.

Li Si also knew that it was useless to just talk about righteousness and goodness, and if he wanted to resolve the current situation, he still had to say something realistic, such as Beiliang vigorously supporting the Buddhist family, and asking Shenchen monk to follow Huang Liansheng to do something together.

But before Li Si could think of the scale of his words, a middle-aged man's elegant voice came from nearby:

"Master Shenchen is really a master, he doesn't hide his words at all, unlike those wild bald donkeys who talk about compassion all day long, but secretly make a lot of money."

The sudden sound startled Li Si and the others.

Hua Junchen quickly turned his head to look, only to find that a middle-aged man was standing dozens of feet away on the left.

The man is tall, with a jade crown on his head, although his face is not handsome, but he is very temperamental, he looks like a literati of the Southern Dynasty, but his eyes are sharp, obviously with three points of arrogance.

"Chief!"

When the monk saw this person, it was like seeing a savior, and he quickly got up from the ground and ran behind the middle-aged man.

When Li Si and the others heard this title, they knew that this person was the Huang Liansheng they were looking for, and their eyes were slightly suspicious, but they were not slow, and they hurriedly ran to the front and continued to face the enemy.

Shenchen Zen Master pestle the Zen staff, looking at Huang Liansheng, but there was not much surprise, just sighed:

"The green bandit is really powerful, and he can even find out the whereabouts of the old man."

Huang Liansheng said: "The general trend is irreversible. You are a monk, you should stay in the temple and practice Buddhism, and when the two dynasties are unified in the future, my Yellow Lotus will open peace to this world, and you will know whether the action of the pure space today is a great good or a great evil. ”

Huang Liansheng's words can be said to be ambitious, and even Li Si can hear that this person not only wants to divide the territory and become a little king, but also points to the two dynasties and wants to be the emperor of the ages.

However, Li Si didn't mind this, after all, even if Beiliang really raised tigers, Huang Liansheng, the tiger, was definitely not as big as the night terror. And Huang Liansheng's ambition is big enough to disrupt the situation, if Xiaofu occupies a piece of land, he doesn't want to fight, then it is useless.

When Zen Master Shenchen heard Huang Liansheng's words, he did not refute:

"Lao Wei is not a sage, the heroes are competing for the deer, who can dominate, it is really not clear. But there is one point, Lao Wei wants to remind Huang Shizhu.

"The green bandits are just raising Gu, whether it is the empress of the Southern Dynasty, Xiang Hanshi, or even the Night Terror Hall, they are just a child on the chessboard; As long as they have the potential to win the world, the green bandits will secretly help, and then watch these people fight to the death in the cage until a Gu King appears. Huang Shizhu thinks, compared to the above-mentioned people, who is more like the Gu King? ”

After Huang Liansheng lost one-handedly, he really thought about it seriously:

"It is still unknown who killed the deer. If the green bandits are really as Master Shenchen said, then what is Fengguan City? Gu cultivators? ”

"Fengguancheng should have jumped out of the chessboard, what is Huang Shizhu should ask him in person, but there may not be this opportunity."

Monk Shenchen shook his head, pestle the Zen staff and turned to leave:

"Since Master Huang thinks that he has the confidence to fight with the night terrors, the old man will no longer advise. After going back, he will personally do a magic ceremony to resolve the unwillingness of Huang Shi and help Huang Shi to re-enter reincarnation. ”

The last word fell, and the Shenchen monk disappeared into the grass almost at the same time, without a trace.

When Li Si and the others heard the last words, they couldn't help but be a little dazed, and Hua Junchen and the others left, so they muttered in a low voice:

"This Shenchen monk is also a master in the world, how can he be like a splash, and he curses people to death before leaving?"

The monk was also puzzled: "This is indeed not like the abbot's style, he said to go back to do things, then the other party must be dead, and the monks don't lie......"

“……”

Huang Liansheng frowned, pondering the words and deeds of Monk Shenchen, hearing this, it was as if something had slammed it in the heart lake, his eyes were slightly gloomy, and there was almost no warning, so he grabbed Li Si and fled to the west.

Boom –

And Hua Junchen and Xu Tianying were still stunned, and when they found that the escorted envoy had been robbed, they were startled, and hurriedly chased after them with all their might:

"Stop!"

"Presumptuous ......"

……

And the Monk of Clearance and the others, as well as the four masters of the Northern Liang, obviously did not have such domineering martial arts, and found that the four people disappeared on the other side of the valley in an instant, so they hurriedly turned their horses and chased them there, and asked at the same time:

"Monk of Clearance, what's going on? Is your leader unable to rebel? ”

"I don't know."

The monk of the clear space was also inexplicable, and he galloped on the horse and wanted to catch up, but where did the horse's legs run Xu Tianying and others, and he flew up and ran at full speed with light skills.

But as soon as the group chased after the mountains for a while, a voice suddenly exploded:

Puff –

Before the monk could react, he found that everyone seemed to have been swept away by a strong wind from the Heavenly Roc, and they staggered, and then their necks were grabbed and pressed directly into the mud from the air.

Bang –

The monk was caught off guard, only to feel that a strong dragon suddenly came and stepped on the ground with a paw from behind, and his face was instantly frightened, and he shouted repeatedly:

"Spare ......"

As he spoke, he looked around, but saw that the person who pressed him into the mud pit was a grim boy in a black robe, whose face was no more than twenty years old, but his eyes were like the Nine Demon Gods, staring at him and saying coldly:

"What about Li Heiren?"

The monk of the clear space was still a little backbone, but when he suddenly bumped into such a strong dragon, his brain was short-circuited, and he responded without thinking:

"Taken away by the leader, the hero is chasing west, and the abbot of Shenchen is also nearby......"

The Night Terror Hall had just received a message from Birdie, so he hurried over from twenty miles away, but it only took a few words for the three parties to make contact, and when he came over, he only saw that the Monk of the Clear Sky and the others had risked their lives and ran to the west.

Hearing that the Shenchen monk was also there, the night terror hall's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he was afraid that he would fall for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he quickly whistled at the sky and disappeared without a trace.

The birds hovering in mid-air turned into sharp arrows and chased towards the original of no return in Shanxi.

The monk lay on the ground, waiting for the black-robed immortal of unknown origin to disappear completely, and then he hurriedly probed from the dirt pit and looked left and right carefully:

"Where did this fairy come from?"

More than a dozen retinues and four Beiliang medium miscellaneous fish were actually near the monk of the clear space, but they didn't dare to get angry from beginning to end, for fear of being pinched to death by the demon god, so they whispered at this time:

"The momentum is so scary, it is estimated that it is the living king of the Southern Dynasty. Leader Huang and Master Li, I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck. ”

When the monk of the clear space heard this, his face turned pale again, and his heart suddenly understood, why did his extraordinary anonymous master say that he wanted to give Huang Leader an excess.

He touched his neck, found that he had not been hit by any delayed death magic skills, and said strangely:

"Why didn't the Night Lord slaughter us?"

"You are so sharp in guiding the way, you are obviously a teachable talent, if the Night Great Yama King makes another dead move, who will dare to descend to the Southern Dynasty in the future? This is called the way to attack the heart among the soldiers, treat the prisoners preferentially, and break the fighting spirit of the enemy......"

“……”

The clear space monk's eyes were embarrassed: "I was frightened, this situation is clear, it's the same if I say it or not......"

The dozen or so miscellaneous fish present didn't laugh at the clearance monks, after all, if they were questioned by the night devil with their heads pressed against each other, I am afraid that they would kneel faster than the clearance.

And the four Northern Liang Sect Masters looked at each other, but they were a little dazed, after all, they definitely didn't dare to chase after Lord Yan, but where could they go if they didn't chase them? The escorted Lord Li saw that he would not live long, and they did not dare to return to the Xihai Metropolitan Protectorate, so they could not really go to the Southern Dynasty to surrender to Cheng.

The monk obviously didn't dare to chase the night devil, hesitated, and turned the horse's head:

"Let's go back to Liangzhou and join the leader in the desert. I'll just say it's safe to go to Liangzhou, Li Shilang doesn't believe it, it's okay now, he was directly slapped on the door by the Southern Dynasty Wusheng Twin Ghosts......"

Everyone present agreed with this proposal, and immediately turned back and galloped towards the wasteland.

Hoofs hooves dack......
