Chapter XXVI
Heavy snow in winter, thousands of horses together.
The gate of the Sacred Mountain Underground Palace quietly opened, accompanied by the whimpering sounds of children, and the terrifying nursery rhymes echoed in the cold stone cave. The oil lamps slowly lit up everywhere, the stone doors opened one by one, the earth seemed to tremble, and the footsteps came and went, stepping on the wet and cold ground, echoing Xuanxuan.
The silent sacrificial disc of the Longevity Palace seems to have been waiting for a long time, raging and waiting to suck the most primitive greed of human beings.
"Let's go!" With this loud voice, the retinue that had been silent scattered in all directions, standing next to the eighteen arhats, and two pairs of boys and girls were pushed and placed in the east, west, north, south, and north directions.
When everything was ready, the burly man, dressed in a white floor-sweeping robe, holding a holy fire in his hand, clenched his fists and gurgling, stepped on the disc without hurry, and walked to the middle. I closed my eyes and felt the surging blood in my heart, and the green tendons in my arms burst out, indicating that the person who came was extremely nervous and excited.
"The auspicious time has come!" The man's loud voice rang out again, reverberating through the cavern.
The entourage took out the prepared wooden barrels respectively, the fishy smell emitted from them was disgusting, mechanically lifted the wooden barrel, poured the cold blood into the stone statue, opened the bayonet, and the blood flowed out of the hollow, concave along the disc, like a flowing totem, reflecting the hideous face of the person in the dark red ripples.
But before the blood could flow into the groove, the stone statue was filled with nothing, and no more red soup flowed from the hole. The attendants looked at each other and froze in place.
The man realized something and shouted, "What's the matter! ”
"No... I don't know, the mechanism seems to be stuck..."One of the attendants stumbled back.
The man strode over, kicked away the trembling retinue, swayed the stone statue, and his face became more and more gloomy: "Who! ”
The sound resounded through the valley, deafening.
"Who the hell is it!" A punch slammed into the ground, cracking the rocky ground on the surface.
Tick tock
Only the sound of droplets of water falling to the ground answered his roar, and there were children sobbing, intermittently burrowing into his ears, irritated and angry.
"Find out why! If the auspicious time is broken, you will sacrifice here! ”
“... It's a sparse voice, and the attendant swayed the stone statue with it, but there was no clue to it.
Time passed little by little, and even the oil lanterns overhead laughed at the antics of the group.
"Come out" The eyes were scarlet, but the voice was surprisingly quiet, "There are a lot of people with me, I'm careless." ”
"Uncle Lehok, I haven't seen you for a few days, look at each other for a different time," said Gerry, coming from the darkness, his tone flat.
"Heh" Lehok sneered and turned his head to look, "The horse has lost its front hoof, and it is planted in the hands of your boy."
In the darkness of the surrounding area, which was not illuminated by the lantern, there was a reflection of silver light, and it gradually appeared, it was a soldier with a blade in his hand, who had been waiting here for a long time.
Chongyu also came from the darkness, looked at the pattern of the disc, and then looked at the children in all directions, and stood behind Gerry with a frown.
"Uncle Lehok is really old, and this kind of trick of seeking immortality and deceiving children is also credible, and he has spent a lot of time on it, burying a good hand." Gerry stared at the nondescript Lehoek with a look of dissatisfaction.
"I'm not talking nonsense to you, you turn on the mechanism!" Leheke couldn't suppress his anger and shouted.
"Open?" Chongyu opened his mouth and said: "Open the mechanism and let the entire Nan Tart be buried!" ”
Gerry also shouted, "Old fool! For this ethereal thing, let the people you are dedicated to protecting fall into tribulation! ”
"So what!" Lehoke roared excitedly: "Without me, Lehoke, the southern tart would have been gone long ago!" I saved them from the war, and now it's time for them to repay me! ”
Hearing this, Gerry frowned, and said in a deep voice: "This is a scam, it's just a bureau set up by the Central Plains to destroy the South Tart, if you stop it, I will spare your life." ”
Lehok lowered his head, and after a moment he said faintly: "This is not a deception, this is the way of immortality, above all things, everything is ruled by me!" ”
"I originally thought that General Leheke of Nantar was not for power or profit, but was a real pillar of the country and the people." Chongyu shook his head and continued: "It turned out to be a crazy idiot who asked for immortals. ”
Le Heke laughed: "If you don't want to be for power or profit, how can there be such a person." It's just that the power is not big enough, and the benefits are not thick enough. Human greed is endless, and the relationship that is not bound by interests is the weakest. When I become a god, you are all ants, who can stop me! Without waiting for him to finish speaking, he threw a fist at Gerry and shouted: "Death to those who stand in my way!" ! ”
Gerry tilted his head and dodged the blow, shouting: "Indiscriminately kill innocents, bully the weak, trample on the people, and disregard for human morality!" What kind of Tao are you cultivating! What a god to become! "One sentence at a time, one fist at a time, it is indignation and helplessness.
Both of them were bare-handed, but their moves were sharp, and the speed became faster and faster, and they chiseled the stone wall with force, vibrating and cracking into the traces.
Chongyu winked, and the soldiers on the side took the retinue brought by Lehok out of the stone cave, and the four children went out together. Looking at the two people in front of him with different moves, he didn't know how to join the battle for a while, he didn't know the moves, and he couldn't make a rash move.
Bang!
Lehok kicked Gerry in the head, and Gerry quickly raised his arm to resist, unable to resist Lehok's innate divine power, and retreated more than a dozen steps in a row, stopping in front of an Arhat stone statue.
"I taught you your moves, you can't win against me," Lehok said disdainfully.
Gerry's eyes were fierce, and he replied in a deep voice: "Yes, then let's try it, Admiral Lehok"
Swiftly stepping over, flying forward, Lehok leaned in to meet him, Gerry cleverly walked back, stepped forward, pinned Lehok's legs, raised his elbow and slammed at him.
The air waves are eternal, the lines are not moving, and the sound of water is murmuring.
Lehok pinned his legs and slapped them away, and Gerry was knocked back a few more steps. didn't ease up, he stepped forward quickly, raised his elbow to hit, blocked there, took advantage of the gap, turned over and kicked, and Griqiao had the upper hand. Lehok was knocked back a few steps, his patience exhausted, and he turned his elbows, his muscles bursting up, and the wet marks under his feet rolled up with layers of ripples. Lehok mobilized the momentum of his body, his eyes were scarlet, and his murderous aura appeared immediately. Gerry raised his hand to wipe away the droplets of water thrown on his face, and the evil aura was abnormal.
After another dozen rounds, the stone statues were all shattered, and the sacrificial disc was cracked everywhere. Gerry gulped a mouthful of blood to the side, his chest converging. Leheke's arm was numb, but the killing intent in his eyes was undiminished, like a fierce beast fighting.
"Just take it, you can't get out of here," Gerry said.
"Don't scruple, come along!" Lehok's rough voice roared: "The hairy boy dares to argue with me!" ”
Chongyu pulled out the sword in his hand, stepped forward and said, "I haven't comprehended the divine power of the first general of Nan Tart yet." There's a heavy guard outside, you can't escape."
Sa!
The sword pointed at the cold air and let out bursts of sparkling sounds.
"Your sword intent is familiar," Leheke's face did not change, "but you are still far away!" ”
A punch slammed into Chongyu's scabbard, and Chongyu's wrist changed, dodging the attack, and with another pick, he stabbed Lehok in the neck. He was kicked off by Lehoek again, and the sword roared, and Gerry ran quickly, with the sword on the soles of his feet, and jumped in. Lehok hit with a punch and another punch, Gerry leaned back to dodge, his hand on the ground, and came behind him with a turn, two fingers, Lehok was sealed with momentum, and his body was stagnant. Heavy Feather flicked the attack, hit the arm, drew a sword, disappeared from the shadow, and the leg was another knife, the blood entered the wetland, and the mud was not splashed.
Lehok: "Ha! With a bang, the momentum exploded, and both of them were bounced away, and both of them fell to the ground. Lehok hurriedly adjusted the qi veins around his body, and slapped the stone statue next to him with one palm, straight into Gerry. Gerry stood up, rubbed shoulders with the stone statue, and took a few steps back, seeing that the disc was already a little overwhelmed, he turned his head and shouted to Chongyu: "Fight quickly!" ”
Here Chongyu stood up with his sword, "Okay! "One is flying, and the sword shadow is heavy. Almost at the same time, the Gerry Snake came running, approached his eyes, and rolled over and swept the ground. One up and one down, perfect fit. Lehokon had divine power but was not alert, and was dragged by Gerry's ankles with both hands, and fell sideways. Heavy Feather stabbed his arm with a sword.
"Ahh
The meridians of Lehok's hands were broken, and the dark red blood flowed into the pattern of the disc, and it was abnormally languishing.
Chongyu turned his sword to his throat, thinking of life and death.
"You have disregarded the lives of others, and the blood poured into this stone statue is the evidence of your guilt!"
Gerry stood up, watched the blood flow into the groove, and then looked at Lehol Lelen, who was groaning in pain after being picked off the meridians, and said, "If you want to live forever, why don't you use your own blood?"
“... Hahahaha! Lehok looked up to the sky and smiled, gasping for breath and said, "You can watch, even if I don't succeed." Sooner or later, someone will activate this Longevity Palace, maybe it's one of the two of you! ”
"When you are young, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and who is not accustomed to the darkness and ugliness of this world. But when you are in the midst of this for too long, you will not be able to distinguish which one is the abyss, the world and yourself! ”
"How much effort I have put into this southern tart! Why does this Nan tart refuse to help me live forever in the end! ”
Lehok looked at Gerry, "You know what? Finding that he could no longer use the twelfth form of the horizontal sword, he watched his divine power fade with age, more and more gray hair, and the old injuries caused by the battle when he was young came to the door little by little. That kind of anxiety that I can't do is eating away at me little by little..."
Listening to Lehoek's unwillingness, Gerry interrupted: "I have never been a good person in your mouth, and I have never been afraid of bloodshed. Only the winner is king, it is a creed, and since he has lost, there is no need to say more. ”
I didn't look at him anymore and left indifferently.
Chongyu looked at the back of Gerry leaving, squatted down and whispered in Lehok's ear, "Admiral, why don't you make a bet." I'm not going to restart this longevity palace, and neither is Gerry. So I'm betting you're going to lose. ”
......
In a ruined devastation, this ridiculous duel ended. The Longevity Palace is still lying peacefully under the sacred mountain, and it seems that this duel has nothing to do with it.
