It was getting dark, and a group of men and horses were marching in the twilight, and the lights were dim not far away.

Zhao Zhengli in plain clothes didn't say anything all the way, but he often looked at the white-robed senior brother who was driving the carriage.

He has always been curious about his life experience, wondering what kind of people his parents have never met, who are really as chivalrous and courageous as the rivers and lakes? Or is it a rebellious minister and thief in the mouth of the imperial court?

Earlier, Yuan Chaoyang had a brief exchange with the ghost monk, and he seemed to hear some hidden secrets, so Zhao Zhengli didn't say anything all the way, but he didn't know how to speak.

Yuan Chaoyang was aware of it, but he chose to squint and pretend not to know.

Yuan Chaoyang didn't even mention the relationship between the "Peerless Ghost Monk" and Northern Shaolin, and whether he was good or bad after the war.

Yang Guifen was very worried, and when she saw that he didn't say anything, she had to hold it in her heart, and thought about entering the inn and asking carefully.

Li Zhanyi and Yu Xiaowei are all in awe of the strong, and Fang Cai's methods are still vivid, although the Tao is different, they have also benefited a lot from close observation.

There was no noise in the team of five except for the sound of the horses, the melodic sound of the wheels and hooves.

The lights are getting brighter and brighter, faintly hearing the noise, there is a "wine" word flag fluttering in the hazy twilight, the stone gate, and the plaque on the door reads "Laijia Inn".

Yuan Chaoyang, who had been squinting, suddenly said quietly: "Some things should be done sooner rather than later, and some things should be sooner rather than later, so let's take advantage of the trend for the time being." ”

Then he stretched: "It depends on whether we can get to the coast of the East China Sea smoothly tomorrow." ”

Several people entered the inn.

At the second watch, Yuan Chaoyang suddenly appeared outside the inn, looking up at the figure that appeared quietly on the roof.

In the night, the man's face could not be seen clearly, and it could be seen that he was wearing a crown of skillful warriors and a purple brocade robe with a gorgeous round neck, and he stood quietly on the wall with his hands in his hands.

When he reached the realm of Yuan Chaoyang, his eyesight naturally far exceeded that of ordinary people, even monks, and he could infer the identity of the person who came from his breath alone, it was the first eunuch of the dynasty, Cao Yan.

He said flatly: "You're still here!" ”

Cao Yan's sharp voice sighed: "Our family doesn't want to come, the emperor's order cannot be violated!" ”

"And what's the matter with this late-night visit?"

Yuan Chaoyang was already prepared for the worst, and the five-finger true qi that hid his big sleeve was reversed.

Who knew that Cao Yan said bluntly: "Remind you, the itinerary can be faster, if you wait for the emperor to send out the forbidden army, then our family will have no way, or let Qi Taishi, Xiao Taifu and others come, although it is not a threat, it is also difficult to deal with the ghosts." ”

The handsome and bright-eyed Yuan Chaoyang looked at the gorgeous brocade robe, living to their age, he didn't believe in the friendliness for no reason, and questioned: "What does my father-in-law mean?" ”

The brocade robe glanced sideways at the inn and said frankly: "The Taoist chief is guarding the little heavenly master for the sect, and our family is taking the opportunity to find an unspeakable truth. ”

Yuan Chaoyang asked: "You don't care about the truth, just ask, are you friend or foe?" ”

Cao Yan tilted his head and thought: "It's friendly for the time being!" ”

"Clear!"

After Yuan Chaoyang finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the inn.

Cao Yan looked at his back in a daze, such an ending made him a little sluggish, and the other party was not even curious about the reason?

The brocade-robed figure of Qiao Shiguan lingered on the roof for a moment, and quietly disappeared into the night.

。

Laiyang is close to a Yinshan jungle in Dengzhou, where there is no grass for dozens of miles, and a ragged dry and thin body lies in it, and the clothes are full of scabs and bloodstains.

This person was the ghost monk who was penetrated to the ground by Yuan Chaoyang's Big Dipper Lotus Array.

Under the moonlight, the ten fingers like dry wood trembled slightly, and the surrounding space faintly converged towards him, and in an instant it was majestic like a tide, and the ghost monk who was originally in a lying position slowly sat cross-legged in the air.

The vast air flow washed over the sluggish body, and the eyes under the shriveled skin suddenly opened, and two Buddha lights suddenly appeared in the night sky, like the heavenly eyes of the gods and Buddhas, and the breath also rose, and the space trembled.

The thin body in a hundred clothes slowly got up, and the face full of old teeth aroused a smile, and then looked at the east and smiled: "The dying has been realized, Yuan Chaoyang old monk has to thank you well, quack!" ”

The eerie crow-like laughter spread across the night sky.

。

The next day, the sky was white, and the team of five headed east.

It's just that the rolling speed of the wheels has increased invisibly.

At three poles in the morning, the carriage had passed the territory of Laizhou, and half of the dust brought up under his feet began to belong to Dengzhou.

Dengzhou is near the East China Sea, and it is a "holy place" where many monks gather to visit the immortals, and the monks who travel here are all looking forward to coming and returning disappointed.

The most indispensable thing in Dengzhou is the adventures of Xianfan, which is as small as swaddling and breastfeeding, and as big as Bai Suo who has lost all his old teeth, which is well known to everyone.

The storyteller is even blowing in March without repeating the same, this place is indeed an extraordinary land, there are traces of history to follow, there is Xu Fu Dongdu, Lu Dongbin lifts the sun and soars.

The most recent time, Zhao Tianshi, who opened the gate of heaven three hundred years ago, vowed to open a path to immortality for the monks of the world, but unfortunately in the end, the road was not opened and the people did not return......

I don't know if it's because of the immortal spirit near Dengzhou, or if there are ups and downs all the way, Zhao Zhengli has a slight understanding in the past two days, but he doesn't know where the realization starts, just like scattered fragmentary memories, nowhere to find the initial clue.

He boiled it down to three points, one is the subtle rebound of Taoism after the realm plummeted, and the other is the perception generated by absorbing the causal qi of Northern Shaolin. Third, the ups and downs along the way, as well as the observation of the two great masters yesterday.

Either is joy.

。

There are three teams of people and horses on the Dengzhou post road, black pressure and pressure, it is generally estimated that there are hundreds of thousands, there are monks' clothes, there are short shirts and black clothes, there are cloth armor, wooden armor and other troops.

The monk group is the leader of the long-eyebrowed old age of the hundred clothed monks, this person is the "Absolute Ghost Monk" who was suppressed by Yuan Chaoyang's Big Dipper Lotus Array and broke through to death, and his law name is the Absolute Sky Zen Master.

On his left is the old monk of Hui Cong in a delicate robe, and on the right is the thin and short monk of the Fa Jue, and it is also the old monk in the yellow robe who was blocked by Yuan Chaoyang when he visited North Shaolin for the first time and was blocked in Dengfeng Temple.

There are more than 100 people in short shirts and black clothes, and the leader is an old man in a black Confucian shirt, who is the elder of the Du family who has been chasing and killing Zhao Zhengli, Du Qiao.

Cloth armor, wooden armor of the soldiers have hundreds, the leader of the three points handsome seven points mighty, is the Qingzhou governor of the military state Wang Chongli's son, Wang Feng.

。

Yuan Chaoyang, who had just entered the territory of Dengzhou, looked into the distance and sighed: "The road ahead is difficult!" ”

Then he glanced at Zhao Zhengli, who was in a plain shirt on the horse's back with a slightly closed expression: "Boy, there are hundreds of ghosts in front of you blocking the way, are you afraid?" ”

Zhao Zhengli opened his eyes and smiled brightly: "There are senior brothers who are not afraid of Hades, they are afraid of little ghosts!" ”

Yuan Chaoyang's teeth were slightly exposed, and he turned his gaze to Yu Xiaowei in the carport, and Li Zhanyi, the senior sister of Emei who was riding a horse: "This Taoist teaches you two a spell, and you can cast it synchronously at a critical juncture, so as to deter you for a short time." ”

The eyes of the two lit up.

"The seniors pass on the Fa, so that the younger generations are overjoyed!"

"The juniors are flattered!"

There are two types of "law" and "art".

Law; Presented with mystical spells, runes. The perception of qualifications is extremely demanding, so there is little circulation.

Technique; For the accumulation of hard work and hard practice, although understanding is also important, but diligence can make up for the clumsiness, keep one, and eventually achieve success.

At the moment, the method mantra passed on by Yuan Chaoyang must be extraordinary, otherwise how could it deter hundreds or thousands of people? It also needs to be performed simultaneously by the two grandmasters, and there must be something terrifying.

Yuan Chaoyang pinched the seal twice, and recited the incantation twice, even if it was split four times before and after, it still made the space turbulent and tremble, as if there was an invisible giant beast wandering in the void.

Yu Xiaowei and Li Zhanyi had little success, and they tried many times far from the expected results, and finally Yuan Chaoyang broke his index finger and pointed at the eyebrows of the two people, the blood was bright red and dazzling, and it was printed into cinnabar in the center of the eyebrows in an instant.

The two of them only felt that their eyebrows were burning, and they were gathered by a vast energy, and an unprecedented self-confidence arose, as if they had the ability to destroy the world with a wave of their hands.

Just as the two were immersed, Yuan Chaoyang said eloquently: "Save a little to be able to do it twice, squander it once, and remember to use it at a critical moment." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Zhengli, who had been watching: "What are you looking at?" These are the things you pick and choose not to learn! How? Do you regret it now? This Tao will not be taught anymore, and they will have to learn to find their own set of tricks. ”

“……”

Zhao Zhengli was speechless, because he found that he really regretted it.

Yuan Chaoyang seemed to see through him, and said: "Boy, don't be greedy, your understanding is high, but you still lack experience, jade is not grinding, it is not a weapon, the three thousand avenues are bypassed, as long as you reach a certain realm, a fart, a sneeze can shake the world, so you don't have to be envious." ”

Zhao Zhengli nodded and settled his mind, and closed his eyes to find the root of that subtle understanding.

Li Zhanyi and Yu Xiaowei were also slightly inspired and began to consolidate the method passed on by Yuan Chaoyang.

Only Yang Guifen was left in the team, looking at the back of the white robe in a daze, and Yuan Chaoyang turned his head and gave a comforting and affirming look.

She has no concept of rivers and lakes, she only knows that where there is him, she is not afraid of all things.

。

The sun is in the west, and there will be a carriage on Dengzhou Post Road, and the figures accompanying the two horses are very long.

The five of them looked at the end of the field of vision, and it was dark and oppressive.

There are many people on the post road, and the murderous atmosphere is in the air.

Yuan Chaoyang, who was driving the carriage, glanced at Zhao Zhengli, who was in a plain shirt accompanying him on horseback: "Kid, haven't you always been curious about what senior brother means, and today I will open your eyes." ”

After speaking, he said to himself: "I knew that I should have slapped those bald donkeys to death in the first place, and it was really a headache to get together." ”

Glancing at the black-robed man, he sighed again: "It seems that the Du family hasn't felt pain yet!" ”

He looked at his empty sleeves: "Boy, lend me your sword in a moment." ”

turned to Yu Xiaowei and Li Zhanyi again: "It's okay for you two to join in the fun, you have to be optimistic about that kid, don't be taken advantage of by others." ”

“……”

Miss Yu, Li Zhanyi, and Yang Guifen were speechless.

Zhao Zhengli raised his eyes and looked at it heartily, ignoring Yuan Chaoyang's words: "Senior brother, those old thieves of the Du family want to borrow my head to squeeze into the imperial court, I can understand that Wang Chongli, the governor of Qingzhou, is the prince. Party, when I got closer to King Cheng in the imperial court, his father and son wanted to ask for credit in front of the master, and I also understand. But what are those bald donkeys in Northern Shaolin? Is it simply the origin of my strange father? A new feud with my senior brother who smoked incense and aura for me? ”

The white-robed handsome face flashed a look of old-fashioned reminiscence: "Grace and hatred, like intricate silk threads, intertwined and twisted into knots, everything now is a criticism left over from that chaotic era, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, it's just that the positions are different, the rivers and lakes are, and the temples are even more." ”

He asked again: "Are my parents really chaotic and thieves?" ”

Yuan Chaoyang glanced at him deeply, and then turned his gaze to the crowd in front of him who was about to press closer, and he sighed rarely: "This question is inconvenient for Senior Brother to answer, since you are curious again and again, it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

He slowly grabbed the reins and stopped: "The new dynasty needs endless corpses and bones exchange, and the new order needs to be poured with blood. ”

He looked at the black oppressive crowd a hundred steps away: "This way can only say that they are disobedient ministers in the face of ethics and righteousness, and they are heroes who sacrifice righteousness in the eyes of the common people." ”

Zhao Zhengli stared tentatively and asked: "Are they really ...... He's dead? ”

Yuan Chaoyang recalled solemnly with his sword eyebrows: "I really don't know? Only the senior brother in charge knows your swaddling letters......"

At this point, he hurriedly stopped.

But Zhao Zhengli obviously heard it, and his emotions were immediately excited: "Do you really have a letter?" ”

Yuan Chaoyang, who said that he leaked his mouth, was rarely embarrassed: "Uh... Go back and ask the senior brother in charge, I don't know anything. ”

At this time, more than 1,000 people were nearly eighty paces away, and Yuan Chaoyang slowly got up and stood on the pedal of the horse.

The white robe rose and fell, and the eyes under the sword eyebrows were slightly smiling, turning from embarrassment to coldness, and then to sharpness.

He rolled his sleeves and shouted softly: "The sword is coming!" ”
