Chapter 22
After the seven factions met at the agreed place, they counted the number of people, and there were more than 100 people, Yuyan Zhenren: "We are so vast, the goal is too big, the people in the demon road are all foxes and demons for thousands of years, and they are very fine, once they see it, they will know the purpose of our trip, and they will know that they are not defeated by us, and they will flee early, don't we want to go in vain?" It is better for us to break up into parts, form their own teams, keep a distance from each other, secretly communicate with each other, and meet again through the Xisha Desert. ”
Everyone: "That's right! ”
The cultivation of more than 100 people is of different heights, the flight speed is fast and slow, the fast must stop and wait for slow, and some people meet the people in the demon path who are cruel to the people, and they can't hold it back, so they can solve a few easily, so the overall travel speed is not fast.
The magpie gate is the first major school of the righteous path, and the cultivation of the people in the gate is second to none, so it flies at the forefront.
On this day, fly to the hinterland of the Xisha Desert, look down, only to see the four fields are vast, the vast and boundless, the high and low sand dunes are one after another, one after another, endlessly, and it is a good scene.
The three division commanders traveled all over the world, and they were accustomed to all kinds of beautiful scenery, while the younger generation was fascinated by it.
A disciple said: "The head of Yuyan, the people of the six factions have been thrown far away by us, why don't we wait here, this place is deserted, the sky is vast, when they fly by, we can see them." ”
Yuyan Zhenren: "Okay, let's go down and rest for a while." ”
More than thirty people swooped down to the ground like falcons, and landed on a large sand dune with black pressure.
The three division commanders sat cross-legged on the ground, untied their water bags and dry food bags, and discussed the battle plan in detail while eating and drinking.
The younger generation didn't care about eating and drinking, rolling on the sand dunes, playing funny, having fun, tired of playing, spreading their limbs, lying on the soft sand, indescribably comfortable.
One after another, people from other sects arrived, had eaten and drunk, and were about to set off, when they suddenly heard someone shouting, "What is that?" ”
Everyone looked forward in the direction he pointed, only to see a majestic and magnificent palace in the distant sand dunes, all golden, dazzling, as if translucent, shrouded by colorful auspicious clouds, like Qionglou Yuyu, but giving people a sense of ominous depression.
Although far away from here, but because it is too tall and majestic, but see very clearly, carved beams and embroidered columns, eaves and arches, vividly in the eye, only to see just a section of golden stairs inclined upward, straight to the temple door, the temple door hangs a golden plaque above, engraved with three hollow characters: the Temple of Death!
Everyone exclaimed in surprise and stayed on the spot.
The air seemed to be stagnant, the atmosphere was very strange, everyone stood there in a daze, all silent, staring at the golden palace called the "Temple of Death".
Ji Wusheng broke the silence first and muttered, "The Temple of Death is thousands of miles away from here, when did you move here?" ”
Yuyan Zhenren shrugged his throat and said, "This is a mirage, don't make a fuss!" ”
Ji Wusheng said: "Senior brother, are you sure?" I've seen mirages before, but not like this. ”
Yuyan is truly humane: "The mirage is something that can be encountered but not sought, and ordinary people will never see it once in a lifetime, and it is not the only form you have seen." ”
Yi Jinxiu said: "Then what should we do now?" ”
Yuyan is really humane: "Let's go!" ”
When they walked forward first, everyone followed, and more than 100 people stepped on the sand, making a rustling sound.
The further I went, the taller the mirage became, and the more oppressive it felt, as if it was much closer.
Further on, the reality is even more real, and there is a faint sound of music and singing in the air.
One disciple said, "I seem to hear someone playing the piano and singing. ”
Someone chimed in: "I heard it too!" ”
Yuyan Zhenren said in a deep voice: "Don't say more, everyone follow closely!" ”
Everyone gathered their minds and followed behind Yuyan Zhenren, approaching the mirage little by little.
The music and singing are getting louder and louder, and I can already hear the melody and distinguish the lyrics.
"It is said that the gods have less troubles, how many people know the thoughts of the gods? It is said that the gods are happy, who knows how much happiness is worth? It is said that fairies are not lonely, who is to blame for fairy Sichun? It is said that the gods are not depressed, and they have no relatives and no reason for ......"
Someone shouted in panic: "It's the gods! ”
Most of the people present had experienced the fierce battle seven years ago, the god Kui traveled thousands of miles alone, single-handedly challenged the various sects of the righteous path, and left a song that made fun of the gods when he left, which was the one he heard at this moment, and he couldn't help but be shocked, but when he saw Yuyan Zhenren walking forward calmly, he was not to be outdone, and followed closely.
After a while, everyone finally arrived at the mirage, the sound of the piano was still the same, the singing continued, reaching out to touch the wall, but it was a phantom, looking up, only to see the door of the temple wide open, a middle-aged man dressed in black sitting on the steps of the door playing the piano and singing.
The crowd was so shocked that they took a few steps back and shouted, "It's the god leader, it turns out that he is not dead!" ”
The sound of metal rubbing sounded, and everyone drew their swords in their hands to prepare a protective frame.
Yuyan Zhenren looked at the person who was playing the piano and singing steadily, and suddenly said, "Don't panic, everyone, this is just an illusion technique!" ”
shouted, "Lady Thousand Shadows, please show up!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of the piano and the singing stopped, and the middle-aged man turned into a wisp of light smoke, rose away, and walked out of the palace gate A beautiful woman in white, with a red silk on her shoulder, was Lady Qianying.
She rarely walks in the world, and the younger generation only hears her name, but does not see her, only that she is an old witch with bared teeth and grinning, but she didn't expect that she was a cold and beautiful baby with ice muscles and jade bones, and she was stunned for a while.
Yuyan is really humane: "Hehe, Lady Thousand Shadows, I really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to recover so quickly." ”
Lady Thousand Shadows condescended and sneered, "Your three-legged cat spell, in my opinion, is a fart!" ”
Yuyan is really humane: "Okay, I will be careless that day, let you escape from death, and today I will teach you to fly with wings!" ”
Lady Qianying looked up to the sky and laughed, her sharp voice pierced the sky, and after laughing, she said coldly: "It's hard to fly with wings!" ”
With a twist of the body, the mirage disappeared, and a group of figures appeared, all hovering in the air, some men and women, old and young, some dignified and some extremely ugly, about fifty or sixty people, who had been hidden in the light and shadow of the mirage.
Lady Thousand Shadows said, "Have you ever seen such a lineup?" ”
When Yuyan Zhenren saw it, he couldn't help but secretly complain, among these people, there were not only masters of the Temple of Death, but also first-class masters of various sects of the Demon Dao, as well as many fresh faces, and they were not mediocre people, but they had already joined forces and waited for the rabbit here.
Although the number of people who came from the righteous path was twice as large as them, there were only a dozen people who could really be regarded as first-class masters, and besides, the first-class of the righteous path and the first-class of the demon path were originally one level apart.
With such a disparity in strength, let alone winning, in this empty and boundless wasteland desert, there is no way to avoid it, and it is difficult to even retreat with the whole body.
Alas, I wanted to take advantage of the weakness to enter and destroy the Temple of Death, and get rid of the great trouble of my henchmen, but who knew that greed for merit would harm others and myself.
The matter has come to this point, but Yuyan Zhenren, who is the leader of the righteous path, can't be soft, otherwise it will cause the righteous path disciples to panic and mess up, and then a big disaster will come, or they can rely on the strength of the crowd to fight and retreat, and get out by luck.
Cheer up at the moment, and use private language to inform Yi Jinxiu and Ji Wusheng, the two junior brothers, and the heads of the six factions of the righteous path, everyone mainly defends and retreats, and fights separately to disperse the enemy's strength.
With a light cough, he said to Lady Thousand Shadows, "Your Demon Dao is really scheming! ”
Lady Thousand Shadows sneered: "It's ridiculous, you guys are coming to the door with everyone, and we are not waiting to be killed, but we are scheming?" Then what do you say about assassinating my husband by despicable means? ”
Yuyan is really humane: "Since ancient times, good and evil have not been separated, gossip is less, and I have accepted it!" ”
With a roar, his body pulled up, and he attacked Lady Thousand Shadows first.
Lady Thousand Shadows scolded lightly and floated back, and everyone in the Demon Dao stepped forward to entangle the Jade Smoke Zhenren.
Lady Thousand Shadows rose into the air and hovered there to watch the battle, obviously not having healed from her injuries and not daring to rush into battle.
Everyone in the righteous path shouted in unison, and they all flew up and fought with the people of the demon path in the air.
For a while, I could only hear the clanging of the blades, the hurricanes swept in, the yellow sand covered the sky, covering the sky and the sun, the beams of various colors, the halo, the light and shadow flew all over the sky, and from time to time someone was injured or died, falling from the air to the ground, and being buried by the falling yellow sand, which was really thrilling.
The tactics formulated by Yuyan Zhenren improvised were really useful, the seven factions of the righteous path were divided into seven teams, each fighting for themselves, and fighting and retreating, and the people in the demon path did not know in advance, coupled with the unevenness of the people's hearts, the lack of a commander-in-chief who could see the overall situation, Lady Qianying, a female streamer, did not have the prestige of the gods, and everyone was eager to divide the power so evenly, all according to their temperament and preferences, the warmongers went all out, and the lazy pretended to fish in troubled waters.
Therefore, the scene on the battlefield is often that seven or eight people in the Righteous Path besiege two or three people in the Righteous Path, or one in the Devil's Path single-handedly fights more than a dozen people in the Righteous Path, and the strength is not equal, so that many people in the Righteous Path break out, of course, more die, and there are many who are disabled and unable to move and are buried in the yellow sand.
The Magpie Gate has the largest number of people and the strongest combat power, although there are only seven or eight people in the Demon Dao who besiege them, but all of them are shocking in cultivation, and they can't break through for a while, but they fall behind.
After a hard battle, he finally withdrew from the Xisha Desert and retreated into a primeval forest, and the people in the demon path were really tired, so they stopped chasing and killing.
The Magpie Mountain group was exhausted, all of them were seriously injured, that is, the three division commanders, there was no complete part of their bodies, their hair was scattered, blood was all covered with blood, and they all sat on the ground leaning on the tree and gasping.
At that time, the sky was dark, the bright moon was rising in the east, Yuyan Zhenren looked at everyone at a glance, and without naming them, he knew that more than half of them were missing, and he took more than 30 disciples down the mountain, so far there were less than ten people left.
He looked at the crowd: "Zuo Liang, Zhou Du, Guan Peep Garden, Bai Kan ......"
He called out the names of the disciples one by one, but no one responded, and all the disciples lowered their heads, some sobbing quietly, some wailing and crying.
