Ling Ning noticed the soldiers coming and going in a hurry outside, and he was slightly surprised: "Did the demon monk commit murder again?" Why is it so noisy outside? Could it be that Brother Qin is going to march? ”

Qin Fei nodded: "That demon monk actually ran to the royal city of Zhao State this time, and also killed the emperor and empress of Zhao State!" Now Zhao is in a big mess, and the fighter plane has arrived! I'm about to take the royal city with all my might! ”

At this time, Qianmei'er's third daughter also came, and she split her head and said: "We have decided to kill Wangcheng with Xi'er, Xiao Ning, will you go?" ”

"Huh? Aren't we not allowed to meddle in the internal affairs of Zhao State? Wouldn't your rash move like this provoke a reaction from other sects? ”

Phantom Ji said: "These are small problems, we can hide our whereabouts and try to make as few shots as possible, and follow quietly." Hehe, if you have to make a move, then you won't be left alive, we are doing this for your precious apprentice, you as a master will not stand idly by, right? ”

Ling Ning said: "How could it be! Brother Qin, I'm going to help you this time no matter what! ”

Although Qin Fei didn't want to use the power of the monk, he had already regarded Ling Ning as his own after getting along for so long, and he was overjoyed when he heard it: "This is very good!" Don't worry, only me and Xi'er know your identity, and I will strictly order the other sergeants not to talk too much, and they will never cause you trouble! ”

Phantom Ji narrowed her eyes and licked her lips and said, "It doesn't matter if you add some trouble, I haven't had fun for a long time, I hope to meet some powerful guys......"

The elite soldiers stationed in the White Horse Temple were almost all dispatched this time, leaving only some of the old and weak wounded. A total of 10,000 elite cavalry marched towards King Zhao City. Along the way, he encountered some scattered soldiers of the Zhao State, who knew that they had lost their fighting spirit in the chaos of the royal city, and they fled without any confrontation. A few deserters were caught on the way, according to them, the royal city is now in chaos, many mercenary monks actually took the lead in starting to rebel against the water, crazy plundering, ordinary soldiers are not their opponents at all but join them, poor Zhao Guo wanted to rely on these hired monks to quell the rebellion, but he didn't expect these people to become rebels first, it was really unexpected.

It took several days for the stronghold of the White Horse Temple to be a few days away from Wang's division, and along the way, Qin Fei exerted his commander's leadership ability and frequently issued orders, organizing the rebel troops stationed in various places to start a large-scale counterattack. On the third day after the order was issued, the report of victory came like snowflakes, and everyone was even more energetic.

Everyone encountered a lot of city passes on the way to the march, and they originally thought that these were "hard nails" that were difficult to break through, but they didn't expect that when they heard that it was General Qin Fei, the commander of the righteous army, they surrendered spontaneously! Many of the cities that had always been held on before were actually in chaos due to the rebellion of the mercenary monks, and the city gates were wide open, which undoubtedly gave Qin Fei a great opportunity. Occasionally, they ran into a few "hard-boned" monks, and Phantom Ji and Qian Mei'er didn't say much and killed them directly, which made the group even more overwhelming.

On the fifth day, it was only half a day's journey from the royal city, and at this time, the number of people and soldiers fleeing from the royal city began to increase, according to them, the royal family of Zhao State had been killed in order to compete for the throne, and the eldest princess took the lead in killing all the other princes, and had ascended the throne as the empress! The mercenary monks who committed the murder were also controlled, and many generals and royal relatives who held military power also led their troops to gather in the royal city, and I heard that many troops under the royal city had begun to arrange defenses, which was undoubtedly not good news.

At night, the group camped outside, and after Qin Fei and the generals discussed the military situation, they came to the bonfire of Ling Ning and the others with heavy faces.

Ling Ning said: "Wang Cheng is right in front of you, why is Brother Qin so sad?" ”

Qin Fei said: "After all, we are still one step slower, and now we have gathered 30,000 troops outside the royal city, and there are still 8,000 elite royal forest troops and many monks in the royal city...... The walls of the royal city are so strong and moat that our 10,000 cavalry may not be able to take it......"

Phantom Ji said: "Didn't you other rebels mobilize over? ”

Qin Fei said: "Now the rebel armies everywhere are taking the opportunity to attack the towns, and there is no way to transfer more people over for a while, if they are rashly transferred, I am afraid that it will affect the overall situation......"

Ling Ning said: "You just said that 30,000 troops have been assembled outside the royal city, who is in command?" ”

Qin Fei said: "It's the three princes of Zhao State, they are all the emperor's younger brothers, and they each have their own territories, so it's really hard to deal with." ”

Ling Ning said: "In my opinion, these people are not necessarily here to defend the royal city, it is likely that they want to take the opportunity to control the royal city and seize the throne. ”

Qin Fei nodded and said: "This is very likely, the eldest princess usurped the throne and ascended the throne as the empress, many people will not be convinced......"

Ling Ning said: "In this way, the threat of these 30,000 people should be greater than that of the rebels. ”

Qin Fei said: "Maybe the real situation is true, but their 30,000 people are not enough to attack the city, let alone besiege the city, they can't pose any substantial threat to the royal city at all." The military rations we carry can only last three days, so I plan to abandon the royal city first, or concentrate on attacking the strongholds of each city first, and wait for the various places to be taken one after another before considering attacking the royal city. ”

Phantom Ji said: "Why bother, let me go and pick the heads of the three princes, and ensure that those soldiers will surrender to the rebels!" ”

Qian Mei'er said: "We can also turn into the city, directly open the city gate and let the rebels enter the city, so that the big thing can be done!" ”

Ling Ning said: "It seems that you really want to do a big job, why don't you do it tonight!" ”

Qin Fei was dumbfounded when he heard this, although he had also seen the strength of the monks, but those were just some ordinary monks with lowly cultivation, he couldn't imagine what kind of strength the three people in front of him were.

"Is that too risky? If you sneak in rashly, you will be isolated, and if you are discovered, you will be besieged by 10,000 people, and the consequences will be unimaginable......"

Ling Ning said with a smile: "Brother Qin, please rest assured, you and Xi'er are ready to march, we will split up tonight, tomorrow you must lead the army to the front of the royal city as soon as possible, those 30,000 soldiers will definitely surrender!" ”

After that, the few people discussed some details, Qin Fei excitedly ran to a meeting with the generals, while Qin Xi cried and cried that he must follow. In desperation, Ling Ning had no choice but to take her personally.

The four of them rode fast horses on the road in the night, and the horses they rode were hybrids of demon beasts, so they were particularly fast, and the original half-day journey was only half an hour away.

There were three armies stationed near the royal city, each with different banners, and the four of them put on their cloaks and quietly sneaked in.

Ling Ning took Qin Xi to infiltrate the garrison camp in the middle, although the camp was full of patrolling soldiers, and the torches were lit as bright as day, but after all, there was a place where "the lights were dark", and the two of them were extraordinary in cultivation and very agile, and they actually infiltrated the Chinese army's big account without a sound.

The inside of the big tent of the Chinese army was brightly lit and people were talking, and the soldiers standing guard outside the big tent were all transferred far away, as if the people in the tent did not want to be heard by others. The two of them were about to go in when they heard a hoarse voice inside: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, only you promise to be in the next place, and provide shelter for you after you become the monarch of Zhao State...... Hey...... The contemptible man promised to help the prince ascend to the throne. ”

Then a loud voice said: "The king that Mr. asked can naturally do it, but how can the gentleman help the king?" How can the king believe that the gentleman hides his head and shows his tail? ”

The hoarse voice said: "I didn't deliberately hide my head and tail, but I ...... Zai Xia is also a disciple of the great sects, and the prince should know that if he is discovered by the sect, he will not be able to eat and walk away. As for the power of despicable people...... How about going and taking off the heads of the other two princes tonight and giving them to the prince as a greeting gift? In this way, the prince should be able to believe in the ability of the next. ”

The prince was really interested when he heard this, but he still hesitated: "I don't know why Mr. chose this king?" Can you tell me? ”

The hoarse voice smiled and said: "I just happened to enter the prince's big tent, if the prince didn't agree, then I had to take the prince's head and sacrifice it to others." ”

"In this way, this king is lucky, hahaha!"

"Hmph, I'm going to get the heads of the other two princes ......"

At this time, Ling Ning lifted the curtain and walked directly into the big tent, and Qin Xi behind him also hurriedly followed.

The people in the big tent were startled, and the two generals jumped up and shouted, "What people! ”

Ling Ning was wearing a cloak so that no one could see his face clearly, and he sneered: "In Xia Nai, the envoy of the righteous army, please surrender to my lord before dawn, otherwise there will be no mercy!" ”

The prince was about fifty years old, burly, gray haired but energetic, and he glared, "Your Excellency can break in quietly, which is also extraordinary...... Hey, how about I ask the gentleman to send this man for the king first? ”

The hoarse man was dressed in a black robe, obviously not wanting people to see his appearance clearly, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Willing to serve!" ”

With that, he suddenly pulled out a blood-colored long knife from under his black robe and wiped it at Ling Ning's neck!

Ling Ning saw that the other party's long knife was thick and heavy, and knew that the other party was also a monk, and this time he did not use a stone sword in order to hide his traces, but brought an ordinary long sword, but this did not affect his skills. He flipped his long sword unhurriedly and casually pressed it on the opponent's long knife! The long knife suddenly slammed, as if it was pressed by a thousand catties of boulders, and it was fixed in mid-air and couldn't advance a single bit!

The black-robed man was so frightened that he couldn't pull out his knife!

Ling Ning sneered: "Guy who hides his head and tail, I want to see what sect and sect you are!" ”

He reached for the other man's cloak, and the man shouted in a hurry! Ling Ning suddenly felt that the true yuan in the sea of qi actually began to leak out, flowing into the other party's body along the long knife!

"Sky Devouring Demon Skill!"

Ling Ning blurted out, he didn't expect the heir of this magic skill to be there! He carried out the true element in his body as if he was fixed by the Dinghai God Needle, and no longer leaked out!

The black-robed man was secretly happy to suck the other party's true yuanben, but he didn't expect that he couldn't suck it anymore in an instant! He is also a thoughtful person, and when he saw the other party's hand mercilessly coming towards the door in front of him, he hurriedly roared and spewed out a stream of black gas!

Ling Ning was not afraid of poisonous gas at all, but he was afraid of Qin Xi behind him, so he had to retract his hand and grab Qin Xi's waist and withdraw from the big tent.

With a wave of his sleeves, a hurricane suddenly came out and blew away the black air, and the black-robed man had disappeared, obviously taking the opportunity to escape. Looking at the other people in the tent, they turned into a pool of blood in an instant!

Qin Xi covered his mouth in fright, obviously he had never seen such a powerful poisonous gas.

Ling Ning was already very calm when he saw this scene, he had already tried out the true yuan in the other party's body in the fight just now, and since the other party was a cultivator of the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill, needless to say, those true elements must have absorbed others. It's just that I don't know what he asked for from this prince, but no matter what, the matter of devouring the heavens and demons doesn't seem to be over......

Before noon on the second day, Qin Fei led a large number of cavalry to the city, and under the "coercion" of Ling Ning and others, these three armies really surrendered to Qin Fei and pledged allegiance.

Ling Ning did not kill innocents indiscriminately, but after the death of the prince and the two generals, he slightly revealed the coercion of the Yudan period to the surrounding soldiers, and successfully subdued the other generals; Qian Meier used some "charming" methods, did not kill anyone, but just a look made the other party's head prince kneel willingly; However, Phantom Ji was tough, and there were more than 20 monks hidden in the army she went to, and the prince regarded these people as "secret weapons", and Phantom Ji slaughtered those "secret weapons" with her own hands without saying a word, and the prince was immediately frightened and begged her to spare her life. Fortunately, she doesn't have any special hobby of killing, and she doesn't go on a killing spree.

Qin Fei couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the group of soldiers in front of him who swore allegiance. He was overjoyed and looked at Ling Ning and the others to thank them desperately, and then he spent an hour quickly reorganizing his army and preparing to march towards the royal city.

Phantom Ji and Qian Mei'er took the initiative to ask for help, and they jumped up the wall more than ten meters high in full view of everyone, and then anyone who dared to stop was all cut down by their swords. This group of elite royal guards saw that the monks who were usually high-spirited and invincible fell to the ground and died, and they were powerless to fight back, so they surrendered in fright. Even during the "game" of the three countries, it is impossible for a high-level monk like Xiang Phantom Ji to participate in the war, and under the huge span of ranks, these monk mercenaries are naturally vulnerable.

However, after half an hour, the suspension bridge of the royal city was slowly lowered, and Qin Fei shouted: "March!" The army slowly marched into the core royal city of the Zhao State.

Ling Ning and the three of them said that they would try to make as few shots as possible, but they rushed to the front, and if they encountered a monk who dared to resist, they would kill them mercilessly! The soldiers behind him were fed up with the anger of the monks on weekdays, and under the leadership of the three of them, they all stepped forward bravely, even the Imperial Forest Army knew that the general trend had gone when they saw that the army had entered the city, and they surrendered one after another, only a small number of monks did not understand how "terrible" their opponents were and dared to resist, but they soon realized the cruelty of reality, and all died without exception.

The people in the city did not cheer when they saw the rebels entering the city, but closed their doors and did not dare to come out. Qin Feijun was strict in discipline, strictly harassing the people, and if anyone violated it, he would be executed on the spot, so no one dared to harass the people, and this move undoubtedly won the favor of the people in the city.

The gate of the imperial city of Zhao was easily breached, and Qin Fei rushed in with all the sergeants in high spirits, and the sergeants shouted to capture the "empress" alive.

On the Imperial Palace, countless palace maids and eunuchs were in a mess, and they began to desperately compete for the treasures in the palace, wanting to make enough money at the last moment before fleeing. On the throne that was high up, symbolizing the imperial power, sat a woman wearing a multicolored crown and a crown embroidered with the sun, moon and stars, this woman's face was as old as a mother-in-law of sixty or seventy years old, but her hands were white and tender like a girl of sixteen or seventeen. There were four extremely handsome young men standing beside her, but their faces were pale because of excessive fear, and their whole bodies were shaking violently unconsciously.

The woman's face sank like water, and as soon as she spoke, she had a girlish voice like fairy music: "What are you afraid of? ”

One of the beautiful teenagers trembled and said, "Gong...... Princess...... The rebels ...... It's coming......"

The woman's eyes were cold, and she said angrily, "What is your name?" ”

The beautiful boy knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Little ...... Small...... Small...... Lose...... Lapsus linguae...... His Majesty...... Your Majesty spares your life! ”

The woman restrained her anger and said lightly: "If you have lost your words, then you don't need to live......"

With that, she suddenly took a step forward, and drew a short sword from under her robe like lightning and stabbed the young man in the throat!

The young man screamed as blood splattered, and he clung to the woman's robe to make a sound, but only a mouthful of blood spilled!

"No one can betray me! I am the Emperor! Yes! ”

A sharp dagger suddenly pierced her chest, and she turned her head in disbelief to see the three beautiful young men she loved day and night all looking at her with a fierce look on their faces and hatred! At this moment, they are no longer weak kittens, but have become fierce and vicious wolf cubs!

"For ...... Why ......"

"You poisonous woman! We hate you to death! Die! ”

"Not bad! Do you really think we all love you? We're just afraid of you! Go to hell! ”

As the blades kept falling, the first eldest princess of Zhao and the first empress of Zhao died tragically on the jade steps.

……

It was a full moon night again, and a figure appeared on the side of the toad pond in the White Horse Temple.

The top of his head shone in the moonlight, but his handsome face was a little puzzled. He stared at the ancient yellowed scroll in his hand and muttered, "Why is this happening? According to the design drawings, there is also a 'Qiyun Pagoda' in the White Horse Temple, but why did it disappear...... Why ......"

At this time, a voice appeared in his mind: "Yi Nian, take a closer look if it is this White Horse Temple?" Is it another temple with the same name? ”

"According to the description on the design drawing, this person once designed two 'Zhaoti Temple', one of which was renamed 'White Horse Temple'...... Could it be that the Buddha's treasure is in another 'Zhaoti Temple'? ”

The so-called "Zhaoti" is a transliteration of Sanskrit, which means the residence of the monks of the four directions.

"It's not impossible, it seems that the 'Qiyun Pagoda' in the White Horse Temple has ceased to exist after thousands of years, and perhaps the place where the Buddha's treasure is really hidden is in another'Zhaoti Temple'...... Is there any mention of the location of another monastery? ”

Yi Nian looked at it carefully for a while and said excitedly: "It's here!" As described above...... Today's location should be in Dongyou! ”

"Without further ado, let's hurry over!"

Yi Nian nodded and put away the yellowed scroll of paper, and his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness in a flash.

As soon as he walked out of the toad pond with his front feet, a big toad jumped out, this toad was huge and mighty, his eyes were red like gems, and what was even more peculiar was that it actually had three legs! It's that Golden Toad Immortal!

It looked at the disappearing figure and said, "Is that him?" ”

A small cyan toad appeared behind it, and it also spoke: "It's him!" ”

The Golden Toad Immortal groaned slightly: "I wanted to spread the news of the birth of the Buddha Treasure with the help of the Buddhist Conference three years ago, but I didn't expect that there would be a ruthless character...... Hey...... This son is a serious murderer, and his crime should be punished! ”

The little cyan toad was puzzled, "Immortal, why didn't you kill him just now?" ”

The Golden Toad Immortal shook his head and said, "Ah Qing, since he has a relationship with the Buddha Treasure, why should he forcibly interfere?" 'All the ways that exist are the union of causes and conditions, and when they arise, when they are finished, and nothing else. ’”

Seeing that Toad A-Qing's eyes showed a look of incomprehension, the Golden Toad Immortal didn't explain any more, but looked at the open space opposite the Toad Pond and muttered, "It seems that the monks on the Immortal Dust Continent should have a good dream......

Under the moonlight, the shadow of a tower seems to appear in the open space, and the plaque on it faintly reads "Qiyun Tower".

The Golden Toad Immortal continued to mumble, "...... Why do the world turn a blind eye to something so close at hand? 'I dwell here forever, and by the power of the gods, I turn all beings upside down, though they are near, but they are not seen. ’”
