Further ahead is the prosperous Xijing Treasure Capital at the top of the world, Wu Gang put the Black Spirit Flame King in a dense forest, saw the sun slowly sliding to the sky, it is estimated that it will be completely sunk in another half an hour, and hurriedly walked out of the forest, to enter the city when the city gate is not closed.

The fleeing people who dragged their families along the main road were also in a hurry to enter the city like him.

When he passed by a group of refugees, he heard them say that they came from the east bank of the Haihe River, and that two towns over there had already fallen, and the demons had begun to eat people, and it was strange that the defenders of the two state cities did not resist, but opened the city to meet the enemy.

Wu Gang pondered: "I didn't expect Li Zhiyin to start so soon, his army will work with the Demon Man's Wulun Legion to advance the war all the way to the east, and more than a dozen cities along the way will be captured by him one by one, and his strength will be like a snowball, swallowing everything he goes, and finally reaching the Xijing Treasure Capital." ”

Suddenly, there was a great chaos at the gate of the city, and first someone shouted the order, but he couldn't understand it from a distance, and after a few shouts, he moved his hand, and then the twilight had fallen.

He thought: "The situation is already very tense, and from this matter you can already smell the tense atmosphere in the imperial city. ”

Seeing that he could no longer enter the city at this time, he tried to find an empty place and jumped over the city wall to enter. It's not that he can't go over the wall, it's that he doesn't want to.

He searched all the way, hoping that the sergeant was not at his post, so he took the opportunity to jump in.

Suddenly, two soft muffled snorts came from the head of the city, knowing that a master had killed the sergeant above. At this point in his cultivation, no slight sound could escape his ears. There was a half-man's tall grass beside him, and he leaned down to take a closer look.

Sure enough, three people jumped down side by side at the head of the city. It's all big sleeves fluttering. It's just a look of calm and complacency.

The man on the left has a square face and a long beard. He recognized it as Li Zhiyin, and thought to himself that this thief still dared to come to the heavily guarded imperial city at this time, and he went in and out like his own backyard.

The man on the right was tall and as strong as a bull, wearing a hood and making it difficult to see his face.

In the middle was an old man, thin and strong, short in stature, and he was held hostage by the two and flew away.

Dozens of people came up from inside the city. Just as they were about to jump down, they were discovered by the sergeants at the head of the city, and they were outflanked from both ends, and when they saw that they could not escape, they put down their arrows, and the defenders also shot arrows. The two fired at each other for a while, and there were casualties on each other.

At this time, someone shouted, "Master Pan, you go first!" A short and fat middle-aged man immediately jumped down. The men at the head of the city fought with the soldiers defending the city, and in a short time they were wiped out.

The duty of the sergeant in the city is not to go down to the city to pursue. Instead, they sent someone to report it.

"It's a good Li Zhuyin, this sound is very clever. Sacrificing the soldiers at the gates of the city, he himself escaped from this remote place. That Master Pan, it seems that he has heard it somewhere, but he forgot about it. ”

His hand touched the military card in his arms, and he suddenly realized that these people who tried their best to escape were the sixteenth battalion of the East Chamber Holy Pavilion, and the surname Pan was the head of the sixteenth battalion, which was said by the two warriors who teased Bess on the west bank last time.

A few people ran towards him, and as they ran, they said, "Hurry up, Master Pan and Taiwei are waiting for us at Dongyue Temple." ”

Another said, "My foot is injured, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." Don't leave me. ”

He stood up and said, "Brother has been waiting for a long time. "Those people were caught off guard and were about to crash into them. Wu Gang slashed his fist, and the fire flashed, where are those samurai still alive.

He took off the clothes of a tall samurai, which was already soaked in blood and smelled fishy, but it was just right for him, and he wore it on himself without frowning.

I thought I had met Li Zhuyin again, so I went to Dongyue Temple like this, so that he could recognize it at a glance.

I rolled twice in the mud and put some mud on my face, thinking that anyone who saw such a makeup would think that he had escaped after a fierce battle.

He went to Dongyue Temple with his mother when he was a child, and it was fifty miles away from Xijingbao.

He walked like the wind, walked for more than ten miles, and there were people shouting and fighting in front of him.

He ran over and saw a lantern hanging from the tree, and a lantern burning on the ground. Under the tree is that Pan Zhang's head was blocked by two good hands of the Imperial Forest Army, and he was forced to be in a hurry, seeing that he was about to fall, a warrior of the Royal Forest Army stabbed the arm surnamed Pan with a sword, and the surname Pan screamed, rolled to the ground, and another person stabbed a sword, that person's cultivation was very good, and the sword was like a rainbow, and it was about to pierce the thigh of the surname Pan.

It seems that the two men did not want to kill him, they just wanted to capture him alive.

He pushed out his palms, shook the two warriors into the air, and said in his heart, "I'm sorry, let me do what you have to do." He just pushed the two people away, and did not kill them, but used a clever method to stun the two of them first, and then pushed them away with the air current.

The man surnamed Pan thought that the two men were dead, and stood up to cover the wounds, which was very painful.

Ugang tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and bandaged him. The surnamed Pan was moved, and when he saw that it was a warrior in his camp, he said, "Are you the only one who escaped?"

Wu Gang nodded and said, "Yes, they are all dead." ”

The surnamed Pan said: "Good brother, I didn't expect you to be so good, what is your name?"

"Pan Zhan, with the same surname as Lord Zhangtou. He took a random pseudonym.

"Okay, don't call me my father-in-law again, you saved me, it's my brother, call me big brother. In the future, if there is mine, you will be yours, and I will always be the best brother when you are the best. Pan Desheng was moved.

When the two rushed to the Dongyue Temple, they saw that the main temple was dark, and there was only a star on the second floor of the side hall in the east head, and they couldn't help but admire Li Zhiyin's courage, which was only fifty miles away from Xijingbaodu, and the army of the Beijing division arrived at any time, and they could do things under the eyes and nose of the emperor, which can also be seen to be extremely bold.

Pan Desheng let out the "cooing" of night birds, and two calls were heard upstairs.

Pan Desheng brought Wu Gang upstairs, this hall is not big, there are three people on the east and west seats.

The three people sitting on the east head are Li Zhuyin, and the three people sitting on the west head are wearing battle armor, and the middle-aged man in the middle is not tall, but his eyes are shining, and his expression is very resolute. There were two guards standing on either side, and those two guards knew at a glance that they were cultivators, and their level was quite high.

Pan Desheng saluted forward: "Desheng came to report to the Taiwei and greet the lord of the autumn country and the prime minister." ”

The two didn't look at him, but sat with their eyes closed.

Wu Gang's heart jumped: "Isn't the lord of the Qiu country a demon? I don't know how this person usurped the power of my big brother Gu's patriarch and established himself as the lord of the country, which shows that this person is a conspirator." I saw Qiu Rong and Dong covering his head with a hood, but he didn't show his true face.

Looking at the lean old man again, it turned out that this person was the prime minister Chen Buyi, and thought: "The prime minister of the Heavenly Empire is upright, and now it is in the hands of these two heroes, I don't know what the result will be, I will definitely find a chance to save him later." "The idea is certain, stand aside.

Suddenly, I heard a Buddha horn in the side hall, walked out of a triangular-eyed monk, sat down on the futon in the middle, Wu Gangda recognized this monk from the first time he went to the temple to burn incense, it was the abbot of Dongyue Temple, Huiguan, and he admired this great monk at that time.

thought to himself: "Abbot Huiguan must have been forced by Li Zhiyin, and he will be rescued later." ”

Huiguan said: "Lord Taiwei, Lord Qiu, my friend, the two of you have come to me again, so that we are in a small place, and the little monk is very honored!"

With just this sentence, Wu Gang "smacked" him dozens of times in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that this monk, whom he admired very much when he was a child, was such a servile face to these two thieves.

Huiguan said again: "The eldest prince of Chen, as the governor of Lianghui, has come to my place, and he is welcome. "Apparently no more respect for the previous two. He pointed at Chen Bu and said with a smile: "When your father and son meet, you will be happy, and the poor monks will be happy with you." ”

The middle-aged general is Chen Buyi's son Chen Zaiji, who is the governor of the two states of Huinan and Huibei of the Celestial Empire, who has a quarter of the military strength of the Celestial Empire, and has a very wide sphere of influence, but he does not advance and retreat with Li Zhuyin, and announced a few years ago that he would break away from the leadership of Taiwei and be only loyal to Emperor Zhou.

Li Zhiyin tried to win him over several times, but he pushed him back. In the end, there was no way, so he sent the sixteenth battalion of the Dongxiang Holy Pavilion to monitor his father Chen Buying. This time, Li Zhiyin lost a battalion of troops and took Chen Buyi to Dongyue Temple, hoping to use Chen Buyi as a hostage to negotiate with Chen Zaiji.

Chen couldn't help but sit between Li Qiu and the two, standing still, then opened his eyes and said: "Master Huiguan, I can't help but be taken care of by the Taiwei in recent years, recuperate at home, have nothing to do, study the Buddhist scriptures, and have a little experience, but there are a few doubts, today is a good opportunity, it is better to ask for advice together, please ask the master for approval." ”

Wu Gang didn't expect the two of them to discuss the Buddhist scriptures, but the others didn't stop them, especially Li Zhiyin and Qiu Rongdong, who immediately sat upright, as if they saw the arrival of the Great Immortal. Suddenly thought: "Yes, the prime minister must have something to say, but he is in the hands of others, and some things can't be said clearly, so I have to use Buddhist scriptures to hope that these few people who are treacherous and evil." ”

Huiguan said: "It is rare for the prime minister to have such a compassionate heart, once he enters the Buddha's path, he is easier to become than others, and the word "consultation" can be avoided, and the common reference is mysterious. Please give me advice. ”

Chen couldn't help but say, "Don't dare." I have heard the macro article described in the "Benzhao Sutra", I am curious, read it, it turns out that the scriptures say, it is to teach people to go from the heart, from the heart, and increase the ** of all kinds. ”

Huiguan said: "Human nature is like this, my Buddha is teaching people to discover the true self in their hearts, guiding people to follow nature, we must know that our real friends are ourselves, the real love is hidden in the bottom of our hearts, sometimes we don't know at all, reading it, I can perceive my true inner world, it is a good scripture!"
