Chapter 344: Shine on the Sea
Du Yu stood behind Ling Hu Minzhi, listened to Ling Hu Minzhi's sneer, and lowered his head.
Linghu Minzhi in front of him was a little unfamiliar. was put on the Meng family's side, not only did he not have a little frustration, but he was so relieved, somewhat unreasonable. Isn't he mad?
"Du Yu, let's go, let's go to the Tiger Infantry Legion. ”
"Wow!" Du Yu responded, took a step, and then stopped, looking at Ling Hu Minzhi in surprise. "My lord, where are you going?"
"You heard it right, go to the Tiger Legion. Now the only person who can save the world is General Xiahou. ”
Du Yu's face changed greatly, and he stopped sideways in front of Ling Hu Minzhi. "Adults can't. Xiahou Mengde is a traitor, if you defect to Xiahou Mengde, I am afraid that the Linghu clan will be involved. Your Majesty does not kill the Yin family, it does not mean that you will not kill the Linghu family. ”
"You're right, the Linghu clan can't be compared with the Yin family, but I can't represent the Linghu clan. When they abandoned me, they didn't think about the Linghu clan. Linghu Minzhi laughed. "They don't take the Linghu family seriously, I want to let them know that the Linghu family is the mainstay of the empire, but it's just not as self-righteous as them. ”
Du Yu looked at Ling Hu Minzhi, and felt that the more Ling Hu Minzhi looked at it, the more he looked like crazy. The Linghu clan is only one of the thirty-six clans, and it is ranked low, why does Linghu Minzhi say that the Linghu clan is the mainstay of the empire.
With the strength of the Linghu clan, I'm afraid it can't even be counted as a pillar in the kitchen corridor.
"Du Yu, if you are worried about the future, you can leave now. Go to Crouching Tiger Town, go to Xiaoyang Kingdom, although Wuji is not ambitious enough, his strength is outstanding, follow him, at least you will not be in danger of your life. ”
"My lord, I'm not leaving. Unless an adult walks along. ”
Ling Hu Minzhi smiled, and without further words, he jumped on the back of a centaur knight, rushed down the hillside, and galloped off into the distance. Guiyu didn't dare to slack off, led the other knights, and followed closely.
......
Xiahou Mengde, dressed in loose civilian clothes, sat in a big tent, holding a wine glass in one hand and a piece of meat in the other. Sent to the mouth, chewing in large gulps, chewing with a mouth full of oil. Xiahou Dan stood in front of him, his helmet under his armpit, and the blood on his face had not yet been washed.
As soon as the battle was over, he was ordered to rush to the camp and report the setback to Xiahou Mengde.
Xiahou Mengde didn't care. The death of more than a thousand tiger riders was not a big loss for him. The super strength displayed by the Meng family did not shock him either. After listening to Xiahou Dan's report, he asked a few more words about the scene at that time. He put down his glass and clapped his hands.
"The old horseman still hides such a hand, which is worthy of the thousand-year-old Montessori. But. After all, he is old and does not know the terrible truth of the afterlife. Xiahou Mengde stood up, walked out barefoot.
"General......" Xiahou Dan was puzzled. followed Xiahou Mengde and walked out.
Xiahou Mengde is not tall, but he has a dragon-like tiger step and is majestic. Every step he takes. It's like a tiger flying forward, Xiahou Dan follows him, and he actually has to trot to keep up.
After a while, the two came to the outside of the camp. In the distance, a centaur knight galloped towards Linghu Minzhi with a horsetail horse.
Seeing Xiahou Mengde's appearance, Hu Minzhi was very surprised. He jumped down and took two steps forward, looking at Xiahou Mengde. "General, you are ......"
"I'm a tiger, waiting for you, a fox. Xiahou Mengde enthusiastically pulled Linghu Minzhi's arm, and without saying anything, he walked to the camp. "Fox fake tiger might, without my tiger, you are rootless duckweed after all. ”
Fox Minzhi was surprised. "The general knows I'm coming?"
"You escaped from Xianyang, you have to find a place to go. You've been to the Yin family, the Bai family, and the Mengshi family, I'm here in the Xiahou family, if you don't come to see it, won't it give me face. ”
Ling Humin couldn't help but laugh when he heard it. Xiahou Mengde's words were very relaxed, but he said all the bitterness of his past few years. He had originally prepared a lot of words, but after listening to Xiahou Mengde's words, he felt that he didn't need to say anything.
When the two came to the big tent, Xiahou Mengde pressed Ling Hu Minzhi into his seat and turned his head to look at Du Yu with a nervous face. "I heard that you are a friend of the second senior brother of the Heavenly Academy, Wuji?"
Du Yu nodded.
"Sit!" Xiahou Mengde couldn't help but say, waved his hand, and ordered someone to serve wine. "At this time, he can still never abandon the little fox, he is a man, much stronger than those nobles in Xianyang City. ”
Someone served wine, but Du Yu couldn't resist Xiahou Mengde's enthusiasm, so he had to drink a glass. Xiahou Mengde didn't say much, and toasted three times with Ling Hu Minzhi, and then said: "That thing that Meng Lao Xiong did was your idea, right?
"Seven Killing Arrays. Ling Hu Minzhi put down his wine glass and said slowly: "It's also called the God-killing Array." ”
"God-killing array?" Xiahou Mengde grinned. "So, this array can not only break my tiger horse, but also kill Dao Realm and God Realm masters?" he glanced at Linghu Minzhi, with some banter in his eyes.
"Just a tiger ride, what a foot. The god-killing array was originally prepared for the general, and the tiger was ridden, and it was a knife to kill chickens. ”
"Sure enough. Xiahou Mengde clapped his hands and laughed. He picked up his wine glass and drank three more glasses with Linghu Minzhi. "How long does it take to train into a Seven Killing Array?"
"It depends on the people who practice the formation. If it is a master of the Great Perfection who has been in battle for a long time and cooperates with tacit understanding, it can be achieved in three or five days. ”
Xiahou Mengde glanced at Ling Humin, and seemed to be smiling. "Do you think I'll have seven Great Perfection masters?"
Ling Hu Minzhi was unhurried. "Originally, I thought it was unlikely, but after listening to the general's words, I was a little convinced. ”
"Hahaha...... Sure enough, it was a little fox. Xiahou Mengde stroked his palms and smiled, laughing like a tiger. He paused, and then said, "I do have seven Great Perfection masters. But that's got to add me. I have to command the whole army, and I'm afraid I don't have time to practice the god-killing array. In this way, I will give you seven masters above the fifth order of the Xuan Realm, and slaughter Meng Lao Xiong first. Don't tell me you didn't hide a hand, in that case I'll be disappointed. ”
After speaking, Xiahou Mengde laughed again.
Ling Hu Minzhi's face remained unchanged, and he looked straight at Xiahou Mengde. "General, I want to remind you that your enemy is not only Meng Zili. If my guess is correct, you have at least two strong opponents in the short term. ”
"Who?"
"Yin Xuan and Bai Fengbing. ”
Xiahou Mengde touched his chin and laughed twice.
......
In front of a wall of ice, Wuji stopped, and grabbed Yingyi with one hand. grabbed Lin Ziyue with one hand.
"Stop, don't go. The front is plugged again, and there is no gap at all. ”
"Why?" Lin Ziyue said indifferently: "Isn't it just a few stones, just destroy it." ”
"It's easy to destroy a few stones, but we can't keep going like this. Wuji smiled bitterly: "It is too luxurious to be a stonemason in the dignified Taoist realm. ”
Lin Ziyue clapped her hands and giggled. Ying Yiyi did not laugh. Like Mowgli, she is worried about the situation she encounters along the way.
Jumping from the ice peak, they found a cave with great difficulty. It was pitch black in the cave. If it was just her, she wouldn't have found her way at all. Wuji and Lin Ziyue are both people of the Dao realm, Lin Ziyue can make a whistling sound like an arrow, Wuji has extraordinary ear power, even in the dark, they can find the correct direction and not get lost.
However, in the face of a cave that has collapsed in a large area, and in the face of a mountain of ice. Even the Dao Realm couldn't do anything. Lin Ziyue and Wuji waved their palms to split stones, using the powerful realm to open the way, forcibly rushing forward, and could barely continue to move forward. But it's as slow as a snail.
The Dao Realm is not without tiredness, and in front of heaven and earth, the Dao Realm is also insignificant.
"What then?"
"Let's find the cause first. Mowgli thought for a moment. "I'm going to look through the archives of the millennium and look for clues. ”
Ying Yiran laughed when she heard it. It's just that the laughter is bitter. "How can there be a thousand-year-old archive, it would be good to be able to find a hundred years old. Do you know how many documents there are in the Great Qin Empire in a year? A thousand years of archives are piled up, and the entire Afang Palace can't fit it. Moreover. What kind of material can last for thousands of years other than stone?"
Mowgli suddenly realized.
"Even if the archives are less than a hundred years old, I'm afraid they are not complete. Ying Yiran sighed, and the sigh caused a resentful echo in the cold cavern. "The four major legions are still nominally obedient to Xianyang's orders, but in fact they have been doing their own business in their respective defense areas for nearly two hundred years. The annual plan is just to send people to perfunctory, and there are many natural disasters, but in fact, where there are so many natural disasters, they just want to reduce taxes and fill their own pockets. Those natural disasters are mixed with the real and the fake, and even they may not be able to tell the difference. ”
Wuji suddenly felt that one head and two were big, and the difficulty of this matter was far beyond his estimate.
"There's only one way to get a thorough investigation. Ying Yiran said suddenly.
"What's the solution?"
"Unite the Empire. In the dark, Ying Yiran took Wuji's hand. "There are no two days in the sky, there are no two kings in the country, if you can't command the world and unify the scheduling, how can you accomplish such a grand cause. Who is willing to bear this matter, and who is capable of doing this?"
Wuji turned his head and glanced at Yingyi. Although in the dark, he could still see that Ying Yiran was a little excited.
However, Ying Yiran's words are correct. Such a big thing cannot be accomplished by any single state or county independently, and it can only be achieved by the unified command of the empire and the concentration of manpower and material resources as much as possible. Not only that, but it has to be fast. This deterioration of the environment usually accelerates, and once a certain point is crossed, it is irreversible.
It's just that in this way, he can no longer practice with peace of mind, and he must devote himself to fierce battles.
He didn't like this kind of life. If it weren't for Linghu Minzhi's curiosity, he wouldn't even want to leave the Liuyu Palace. How comfortable it is to practice enlightenment in the snow-capped mountains, be accompanied by beautiful women, and enjoy delicious food.
However, once the continent is about to run out of life, the snow-capped mountains will not be spared. There are some things he has to do, even if he knows that the chances of success are slim.
Wuji pondered for a long time and sighed helplessly. "Let's go, let's fight for the world. ”
"Wuji, you don't have to worry so much, there are Ziyue and I to help you, no one is our opponent. There's only one person who can cause you trouble, and she's not necessarily on your side. ”
Mowgli nodded. She knew who Ying Yiran was talking about. He took Lin Ziyue's hand and pointed in one direction.
"Ziyue, go that way. If my guess is correct, this should be the closest place to the outside. ”
Lin Ziyue didn't ask for a reason, took off Jiu Haoluo, hung up the bowstring, adjusted his breathing, aimed at the direction specified by Wuji, and pulled the string three times in a row.
No arrows were fired, only three fierce breaths burst out from the strings, whistling and shooting in the same position one after another.
"Sss
It was a hole, a hole nearly a hundred paces long, and though it was only a finger thick, it was as straight as an arrow. At the end of the cave is a white expanse of heaven and earth, so far away that it looks like a lone star in the night sky.
Lin Ziyue put away her bow, turned into a cat, waved her claws, and dug a door in the ice wall in a moment. Ying Yiyi did not slack off, incarnated as a red flame beast and fought side by side with Lin Ziyue.
A Dao Realm, a Xuan Realm Ninth Order, the two of them exerted their strength at the same time, and it only took half a day of effort to dig out an ice cave that was a hundred steps long and reappeared on the ground again.
They stood on top of a cliff, and in front of them was a vast sea of clouds, and they could see nothing but the clouds and mist that turned over. The cold wind howled, but not a single sound of water could be heard. There was a thick layer of ice under his feet, and even with Lin Ziyue's eyesight, he couldn't see the shadow of the land.
It's a lifeless world, a world covered in snow and ice.
"There's a room there, let's go check it out. Wuji pointed to the distance and said suddenly.
Lin Ziyue and Ying Yiran turned their heads and saw nothing. Mowgli pulled them along the steep ice and snow trail, step by step. After walking less than a hundred steps, they turned a jutting ice cliff, and a dilapidated temple appeared in front of them.
The temple was empty, covered with snow and ice, except for a wooden plank that appeared to be the temple door swaying and creaking in the cold wind. The planks were black and covered with ice, otherwise they would have been blown to pieces by the cold wind.
The three of them walked into the temple, found two pieces of wood, and lit a fire.
In the flickering firelight, the idols of the Ancestor God Fuxi and Nuwa were wrapped in ice and snow, but they were still smiling and looking down at them. There is kindness, compassion, and hope in the eyes.
Mowgli bypasses the idol and walks into the backyard to find a lonely tower in the snow and ice.
There was a corpse in the Tower of Loneliness, wrapped in a thick leather jacket, but it still couldn't stop the cold. He froze to death in the Tower of Loneliness, the painful expression on his face was clearly recognizable, as if he could reopen his eyes if he was given a little heat.
Wuji sighed, moved the body out of the loneliness, and let Ying Yiran cremate it. Ying Yiran spat out flames and set the corpse on fire.
The corpse slowly turned to ashes, and a cold wind blew, and the ashes flew away, revealing a silver medal that shimmered with silver light.
Mowgli picked up the silver medal and looked at it carefully. The front of the silver medal is engraved with two words: Zhaohai, and the back is engraved with the book of heaven that he is familiar with-
