Chapter 232: Marriage is destined

"Rika has seen the senior sister of the martial arts—"

Seven days later, a young woman in full uniform entered the palace of Tuyuhun in the city.

"Hehe, please get up quickly, I have long heard that there is an outstanding female disciple under the seat of Our Lady of Lishan, and I am overjoyed to be able to see my little junior sister here today, and this palace is overjoyed——"

The lady of the martial arts family carefully looked at the people who came, hurriedly got up and left her seat, and stretched out her hands to help the woman who was bowing down.

"Senior Sister Rika is this from Lishan?"

The martial lady invited someone to sit down, and personally brought melons and fruits snacks for her, and carefully poured a cup of tea, but the two daughters met for the first time like good sisters who had known each other for many years.

"So that the senior sister of the martial family learned that Pear Blossom did not come from Shizun's side this time, half a year ago, Pear Blossom bid farewell to Shizun and returned to Xiliang's house, and this Tuyuhun trip, Pear Blossom also received a letter from Shizun before coming from home."

"I heard that Senior Sister Wu has done a big battle in Tuyuhun, and what Shizun means is that he wants Pear Flower to learn more from Senior Sister and take the opportunity to find an opportunity to make a breakthrough in cultivation."

It turned out that the name of the person who came was Fan Lihua, she was not originally from the Tang Dynasty, her father was Fan Hong, the master of the Western Turkic Hanjiang Pass, and Fan Lihua was naturally born in Xiliang.

When Fan Lihua was three years old, she was photographed by the Mother of Lishan who traveled to Hanjiang Pass, and took her back to Lishan to practice for fifteen years.

This Fan Lihua is really a talented person, no matter what she practices, she is fast, she is smart and willing to work hard, and she can master it in just a few months.

Such a disciple, what master can not like?

Is Our Lady of Lishan still right?

She was originally a disciple of the Shangqing sage, but after being canonized, she struggled to support the remnants of the sect, and did not hesitate to incarnate as the Holy Mother of Lishan, and had close contact with the increasingly prosperous Western Buddhism.

Of course, the true identity of the so-called Our Lady of Lishan is naturally known to all the bigwigs in the Three Realms, but later the luck of the Three Realms has been decided, and naturally there is no one who will not open his eyes to the sect and fight to the end.

The sect is only dispersed and the hearts of the people are scattered, not that it is really completely destroyed.

Let's not talk about how many of the three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods in the Heavenly Court were originally born in the Interception Sect, just look at the West.

You don't see, there are many people who were born in Buddhism, and the high-ranking Buddha was still the first disciple of the sect.

If it is really a deadlift relationship, Our Lady of Lishan calls that "senior brother", how much can there be a trace of incense, right?

Hey, there is no way, who let the sect of the Ten Thousand Immortals come to the dynasty to fall to the point where it is now.

In order to survive the inheritance of the sect, didn't the proud Mother of Wudang also beg to become the Holy Mother of Lishan?

Our Lady of Lishan is rarely in "Penglai Island" on weekdays, most of them always stay in her Lishan, and she has accepted Zhong Wuyan and Fan Lihua as apprentices.

However, until now, Fan Lihua did not know the true identity of her master, and she had not been to the "Biyou Palace" on Penglai Island with her master.

And her senior sister Zhong Wuyan and Fan Lihua have only heard of their names, but they have not seen their faces.

According to Shizun, the talent of the senior sister is far inferior to her, but she has already entered the realm of "Da Luo Jin Xian", relying on diligent practice day after day, Fan Lihua has always regarded the senior sister she has never met as an example for her to catch up in practice.

In just fifteen years, he has cultivated to the early stage of the "Taiyi Golden Immortal", and even if you look at the entire Three Realms, such a speed is rare.

Of course, if you want to compare with Li Zhi's children, it is estimated that they are still inferior.

The eldest son, Li Shenxiang, is now less than eleven years old, after more than half a year of battlefield fighting, Xiuwei has come to the middle stage of "Taiyi Xuanxian", compared to Fan Lihua, although it is still two or three small steps behind, thinking that the two are more than seven years apart, the gap between talent and chance is self-evident.

The second son, Li Aoting, has the unique genes of the dragon family, and he was born in the realm of "Heavenly Immortals", and he was more than four years old

Breaking through to the middle stage of "Xuan Xian", this time he traveled to the "Dragon Secret Realm" with his mother Ao Ling, and when he met again, he didn't know how strong he could be.

The sons are more evil than the other, and Li Zhi's daughters are also not far behind.

Take a look at the little Taiping next to the martial lady, who is about to be five years old, and finally survived the "Heavenly Immortal" Thunder Tribulation, a body of Buddhism mana far exceeds that of the martial lady of the same age, and the top "Ninety-Nine Thunder Tribulation" also indicates the best cultivation roots.

And the eldest daughter of Luo Jia who was taken to Penglai Island "Biyou Palace" is even more exaggerated, "Da Luo Jinxian"? ——

Well, the situation of that little aunt and grandmother is something that can be encountered in thousands of years but cannot be sought, not to mention others, even if Li Zhi himself thinks about it every time he thinks about it.

Eighteen-year-old Fan Lihua, after breaking through to the realm of "Taiyi Golden Immortal", was "driven" down by Our Lady of Lishan.

It's not that she broke any rules, but that Our Lady of Lishan doesn't want her disciple to become a person who only knows how to practice wood carving and clay sculptures.

It is true that she is close to Buddhism by her Lishan Holy Mother, but she has not practiced any Buddhist supernatural powers, even if it is her two descendant disciples, it is also the inheritance of the Shangqing Mystic Law.

How prosperous the sect was back then, the sage of the Shangqing Dynasty incarnated as the master of the Tongtian Sect, and for the creatures of the wilderness, it was truly unclassified, and those who came did not refuse.

And the Holy Mother of Wudang, the youngest of the four disciples under the seat of the master of the Tongtian Sect, is very sought after by the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Sect of Interception, and has received countless gifts, and all kinds of exercises are one of them.

The Holy Mother of Wudang naturally didn't cultivate these, but she also collected them seriously, and when she got to the two disciples, she also had sufficient resources to teach them according to their aptitude.

Take this Fan Lihua as an example, in addition to teaching the Shangqing magic method of this sect, he also mainly practiced knife skills, marksmanship and a secret weapon magic power.

Although people who cultivate in general will have some experience along the way with swords and guns, those who are proficient often choose only one of them.

And this Fan Lihua is different, whether it is a knife or a gun, she has actually practiced to the peak and the realm of perfection.

In the end, Our Lady of Lishan couldn't let this little disciple make a choice, so she simply gave Fan Lihua a treasure knife and a treasure spear.

What kind of knife is a knife?

Jiufeng Chaoyang Knife!

What kind of gun is a gun?

Pineapple flower gun!

They are all "Acquired Spirit Treasure" level weapons, and the two together have a nice name, called "Shadow Chasing Soul".

This knife and one shot, among the many gifts received by Our Lady of Wudang, are also two outstanding ones.

And the secret weapon magic power that Fan Lihua learned is a unique magic power passed down by the sect sage, and it should be a treasure more precisely.

It was a fire gourd, its shape was like a gourd, containing countless fire crows, open the lid of the gourd, release the fire crow, the fire crow can according to the owner's wishes, wantonly burn the opponent, never die.

The fire crow in this gourd was originally a congenital thing, and by chance it was obtained by the Shangqing saint who had not yet become a saint, so he refined a gourd at any time and put it up.

The eldest disciple Zhong Wuyan has a thin temperament, and he can be regarded as a person who has experienced hardships, but after the fate is over, he was taken to the "Biyou Palace" on Penglai Island by Our Lady of Lishan and continued to devote himself to cultivation.

The little apprentice Fan Lihua is active by nature, and he is outstanding, and there is a red rhyme between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and he will have to experience it in the red dust in the future, and the Holy Mother of Lishan passed on the powerful fire gourd to the second disciple.

Maybe it's because Fan Lihua was born in a general's door, in addition to cultivating various magical powers, she is also interested in the method of battle formation.

This makes it even more difficult not to fall for Our Lady of Lishan.

There are all kinds of formations in the sect, and there are also many suitable for military formations, and the Holy Mother of Lishan herself is not very interested, but she threw her brain to Fan Lihua, who is tired of it.

After fifteen years of penance, in the eyes of Our Lady of Lishan, does this little apprentice really regard himself as a member of the Buddhist sect?

simply, as soon as Fan Lihua broke through to the realm of "Taiyi Golden Immortal", she banished her back to her hometown.

......

Hanjiang Pass, original

It was one of the border fortresses of the Western Turks, but because of the perennial rampant demons, even the Western Turks' royal tent could not be kept, let alone this Hanjiang Pass, which was on the verge of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, this place has also suffered from the invasion of the demons, and Fan Hong, the guard of the pass, called on the people of the whole pass to resist with all their strength, and barely managed to keep a remnant pass.

This kind of maverick pass naturally attracts the attention of the demons more, and it also attracts a more fierce attack.

It's just a border pass, even if there are garrisons all year round, how many people can there be?

Besides, the other party is a member of the demon race, although there is no demon clan at the command level so far, the leader is also a small leader in the middle stage of the "True Immortal".

In Hanjiang Pass, the strongest is only in the early stage of Fan Hong's "Heavenly Immortals", and Fan Lihua's two half-brothers, Fan Long and Fan Hu, only have the cultivation of the "Jindan" period.

Seeing that Hanjiang Pass was about to be breached, a team of Tang troops from nowhere arrived.

The number of Tang troops who came was not large, that is, the number of people who could be worthy of five hundred, which was less than a quarter of the people who attacked the city of the demon clan.

And the leader of the Tang Army was actually a teenage doll, riding a red dragon horse under his crotch and carrying a purple stick in his hand.

That stick was not trivial, it was picked up by this teenage doll general, and the demons who were besieging the city turned into powder in pieces.

"You're all waiting in the back to see how the master takes care of them—"

This doll general didn't think it was fun to ride on a horse, so he simply jumped over, flew away from the red dragon horse, and killed those demons in mid-air.

"Doll, who are you? ——」

In the blink of an eye, more than 2,000 demon clans who were besieging the city actually died under the stick of the doll general, and the little leader of the demon clan in the realm of "True Immortal" couldn't stand it.

"Hmph, just a 'true immortal's little minion, dare to come here to spread wild? Want to know the name of your master? I'm going to go to the Netherworld and ask!"

The doll general didn't bother to pay attention to him, and after only fighting for more than a month, he found that his combat power had made great progress, and even the realm had risen by one order.

It seems that the battle on the battlefield is the best way to improve one's strength, but as for the practice in the past, it is far from achieving such an effect.

Therefore, every time this baby general went to battle, he took the lead, and even ordered 500 guards to watch from behind.

Just like now, looking from a distance, a half-sized man, carrying a thick wooden stick, was so unscrupulously rampaging through the demon army.

"Daddy, this is the army of the Tang Dynasty, and it seems that it is still the elite of the forbidden army in Chang'an City, should we go out of the customs to take over?"

As soon as the doll general made a move outside the Hanjiang Pass, the demons couldn't care about attacking the Hanjiang Pass anymore, and they turned around to encircle and suppress the doll general.

In this way, the defenders of Hanjiang Pass finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the battle under the pass with courage, and Fan Long, who had gauze wrapped around his head, asked.

"Big brother, why are you confused, that's the army of the Tang Dynasty, we are here at the pass of Xiliang, and now most of the troops in Guanzhong have been lost, if this switch goes out, no matter which side of them wins, I'm afraid we won't be able to fall in this Hanjiang Pass."

Although the two Fan brothers are brothers of the same mother, their temperament is much different.

The boss Fan Long is still loyal, in his early thirties, and a big gun is also a bit hot.

The second Fan Hu is a little worse, not that his force is not good, but this person is always a little ambitious, and he can't see his identity and position clearly.

For example, now, the Western Turk royal tent has been razed to the ground, and frontier passes like Hanjiang Pass are actually like borderlands.

And Fan Hu had the heart to encourage his father to support the army and stand on his own, and the Fan family didn't know how many times they discussed this topic, but they never said that he was ugly.

It was at this time that Hanjiang Pass was attacked by the demons.

It's good now, the strength of Hanjiang Pass has been sharply reduced to a quarter of the original, not to mention the self-respect of the army.

Even if you want to protect yourself in troubled times, it has become a luxury.

The demon clan under the Hanjiang Pass is visibly decreasing with the naked eye, and the five hundred elite of the forbidden army who followed behind the doll general seem to have long been accustomed to this style of play.

Under the command of the two lieutenant generals, the elite of the five hundred forbidden army spread out in the shape of a crescent, and unexpectedly blocked the retreat of the army of the demon clan several times larger than their own on the periphery.

"Lord Demon General, how long do you think the young master will have to kill the two thousand demons this time?"

One of the young lieutenants asked, did he call the other lieutenant "Lord Demon General"?

"Huaiyu, the young master has now entered a 'misunderstanding', or this can be regarded as a kind of 'bottleneck', relying on continuous killing to improve his cultivation."

"Hey, I really regret it, I shouldn't have passed on my asura's exercises to the young master a month ago, this young man is really a good one, even if Lu Toro dies a hundred times, he can't escape the blame——"

It turned out that the two so-called "deputy generals" turned out to be the old men of the "Jin Palace" back then, Lu Toro from the Asura clan, and Qin Huaiyu, the son of Qin Shubao.

Lu Toro didn't have to say that the peak strength of the "Da Luo Golden Immortal" was that the deputy general actually served as the guard of the "young master" in their mouths.

And Qin Huaiyu is the real commander of the elite of the 500 forbidden army, and the daily encampment, marching management, rushing and killing battle formations, attacking, defending and ambushing and other trivial matters in the army are all taken care of by Qin Huaiyu.

These five hundred elites of the forbidden army are definitely the elite of the elite, and the worst ones have already completed the "foundation building", and the five uncles have even reached the "True Immortal" level of cultivation.

Such an uncle is placed among the other powerful forces of the Tang Dynasty, at least he is a general who commands thousands of troops, but in the elite of this forbidden army of only 500 people, he can only be condescended to the position of the uncle.

Of course, if they were put alone in the Three Realms, they would naturally not be able to make any waves, but in the military formation composed of the elite of the five hundred forbidden army, they would be able to play a big role.

With such a strong preparation, and can be called the "young master", I am afraid that there is only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Agarwood in the Tang Dynasty.

"It's not good, this doll is a killing god, I'll evacuate this place as soon as possible—"

Another incense stick time has passed, and there are less than a thousand demons who can continue to fight, and there are many injured ones, who are afraid of being killed by the baby general.

"It's not that easy to leave! All the soldiers listened to the order, and the demons who dared to escape were all driven back to the master-"

Well, what a murder this is?

Even if the demon clan escapes, he doesn't want to borrow someone else's knife, he has to let people drive him back again, and then beat him to death with a stick one by one?

Sure enough, whether it was Lu Toro or Qin Huaiyu, one left and one right each led a hundred elites of the forbidden army to block the two wings, and directly behind, there were three uncles leading the remaining three hundred elites of the forbidden army there.

And Lu Toro even stopped in mid-air, filling up the power of the peak of the "Da Luo Golden Immortal" to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

"Daddy, this ...... This Tang army is too strong, right? If they want to take Hanjiang Pass, I'm afraid I won't have the ability to resist at all......

Looking at this "unique" fight, even Fan Hu, who has always been above the top, can't help but have some tendons in his legs and stomach at this time.

This Tang army wouldn't just come and send these two thousand demons at will, and then turn around and leave, right?

The three fathers and sons of the Fan family, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to say for a while.

"Warriors of the Demon Clan, since these Tang troops don't leave us a way to live, let's fight with them, and the Heavenless Buddha will bless us—"

The little leader of the demon clan saw that he really couldn't break through, and the demon army he brought with him had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and he also knew that today's things might not be good.

"Haha, okay, such a demon clan feels more like killing, 'The form and the god are destroyed-"

The doll general swept the purple wooden stick in his hand one by one

Dao Qi waves were struck, and within dozens of zhang around him, there was no longer a complete demon race.

"This ...... Isn't that scary? That's a demon, he actually killed hundreds of people with a stick?"

It is said that Fan Hong, the master of Hanjiang Pass, is much more clever in terms of cultivation and vision than his two sons, but he didn't expect that the doll general of the Tang Dynasty would be so strong, so strong that he felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Shrink the military formation, drive the rest of these demon cubs to the young master, and let him kill one happily-"

Lu Toro commanded from above, but his eyes were fixed on the little leader of the demon clan, for fear that this army master would play some tricks.

It's a pity that until the death of the little leader, he didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, which made Ruo Toro a little disappointed.

"Dare to ask the Tang Army generals under the gate their names? Fan Hong, the master of a certain Hanjiang Pass, thanked the general for protecting the customs and protecting the people——"

The gate of Hanjiang Pass has been closed, and Fan Hong and his son are lying on the pass and looking down.

Waited until the doll general killed all the demons, turned his head and returned to his own team, and rode on the red dragon horse again, it seemed that he was going to lead the army away?

"Listen, this is His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, this time the demons are destroyed, or more demons will be killed."

"If you still have the strength to spare, you can defend the city, if you can't catch it, there will be other Tang troops here in two days, you just need to sacrifice Hanjiang Pass and return to the Tang Dynasty——"

The doll general is naturally the crown prince Li Shenxiang, but he has just experienced a fight, and he is almost using his mana, and he uses the power of his body to urge the "God Killing Spear" as much as possible.

Although he did not have a "god-killing spear" in his hand, the "agarwood" that came with the birth of agarwood is equally powerful.

In less than two quarters of an hour of fighting, Agarwood felt that the "Heavenly Demon Fighting Qi" in his body had increased a lot.

The so-called "Heavenly Demon Fighting Qi" is actually a special kind of true qi, and Agarwood simply grinded Lu Toro to teach him the unique skill of the Asura clan "Heavenly Demon Fighting".

In less than two months, Agarwood has cultivated it to Xiaocheng, and his own cultivation has come from the early stage of "Taiyi Xuanxian" to the middle stage of "Taiyi Xuanxian" in one fell swoop.

And Fang Cai's killing made him feel that the "Heavenly Demon Fighting Qi" in his body had once again reached the critical point of promotion.

It's a pity, it's just a little bit worse, if there are hundreds more demons, or if you can kill a demon clan above the realm of "Xuan Immortal".

Agarwood naturally has no interest in answering the questions on the wall of Hanjiang Pass, and the reins of the red dragon horse in a belt are really going back to the city, rather than bothering here, it is better to find a place to kill a few more demons.

Agarwood can leave indistinctly, but Qin Huaiyu can't.

He is the commander of this team, besides, why did they come to Xiliang, not to relieve (take advantage of) the sky (grab) the sky (grab) the sky (grab) (more) to give birth to (more) water (plate) fire?

"The Tang Prince? That doll general turned out to be Li Shenxiang, the prince of the Tang Dynasty? ——」

Looking at the Tang Forbidden Army that was gradually moving away, Fan Hong was already paralyzed on the Hanjiang Pass.

......

When Fan Lihua rushed back to Hanjiang Pass, it was already a few months later, and the wall of Hanjiang Pass had already been replaced with the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Datang did not arrange a single soldier here, and still let Fan Hong be the master of Hanjiang Pass, and even all his rights were retained intact.

It can be said that in addition to the change of flags at the juncture, Hanjiang Pass has not changed much, at most, it has become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the merchants who came from the mainland of the Tang Dynasty have gradually increased.

Fan Lihua has lived at home for less than a month, and she can't live anymore.

It's not that the demons come to attack the city again, and after it becomes the territory of the Tang Dynasty, this is no longer a border pass, and hundreds of miles to the west and north have gradually been incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, or become the actual control of the Tang Dynasty

District.

The reason why Fan Lihua can't live is because of his stubborn old father Fan Hong.

Fan Hong is seventy-seven this year, nearly fifty years older than Fan Lihua, no matter what era she puts in, she can be regarded as a typical old woman.

It can be regarded as the love for the only daughter of the old Fan family, and she set a family affair for this Fan Lihua when she was a child, but unfortunately Fan Lihua has not been at home all these years, but went up the mountain with Our Lady of Lishan to practice.

Two years ago, the in-laws wrote to urge Fan Hong to choose an auspicious day to dress up his daughter and marry him out of the cabinet.

No one is at home, even Fan Hong himself hasn't seen his daughter for more than ten years, who do you let him take out of the cabinet?

Later, the rebellion of the demon clan also spread to Xiliang, and the in-laws on the opposite side moved south in order to avoid the rebellion of the demon clan, and I don't know if they went to Tuyuhun or Tubo further south?

In this way, the marriage of these two families can be regarded as buying time for the demons.

However, just last month, Lao Fan Hong received a letter from his in-laws, and at this time, the other party actually did *** in Tubo, and his quasi-aunt became the commander of the first army in Tubo.

At a young age, that quasi-aunt has a good cultivation, and the "Taiyi Xuanxian" who is less than thirty years old, looking at Xiliang, Tuyuhun or Tubo, can be regarded as a hot existence.

Originally, Fan Hong had already thought about it, but now there is nothing important about Hanjiang Pass, he plans to hand over Hanjiang Pass to his eldest son Fan Long, who is still stable, and he personally took Fan Lihua to Tubo with his second son.

It's a pity that there is no impermeable wall, and Fan Lihua still inadvertently learned about this matter.

On a dark and windy night, Fan Lihua didn't even say hello, and quietly left Hanjiang Pass.

A person who has never met before wants to marry himself?

With such a marriage, Fan Lihua is absolutely unwilling.

In Fan Lihua's heart, even if she wants to marry someone in the future, she needs to choose it herself, no matter how she looks, her character, or her ability is not much worse than herself.

As for what parents say and matchmakers, to hell with them.

Fan Lihua's mother died early, she left home at the age of three, and her two half-brothers had no impression at first.

As for Daddy Fan Hong, if he still forces himself to get married like this in the future, Fan Lihua feels that she may not need to go back to this "home" again.

It was at this time that she received a letter from Our Lady of Lishan, and informed her that her fate might be in Tuyuhun, and at the same time briefly introduced the relationship between the martial arts lady and each other.

In fact, the letter passed by Our Lady of Lishan to Fan Lihua and the samurai lady was received by the two almost at the same time.

It's just that there is still a distance from Hanjiang Pass to Tuyuhun's Fu Qi City, and Fan Lihua is a thoughtful person, before entering Fu Qi City, she must always have to make some preparations and investigations, right?

In this way, those who stopped and walked were delayed on the road for seven days.

And it was precisely because of the delay on the road for these seven days that he almost took the life of Tang Emperor Li Zhi's second disciple, the commander of the First Army, Xue Dingshan......
