Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Xiao Xia and the other talisman priests arrived with the sound of firearms exploding and houses collapsing.
I don't know how the leaders of the Shenji Hall ordered it in advance, whether it was their fight in the dining hall over there, or the upheaval in this front hall was almost turned upside down, but there was no reaction in the huge Jingzhou rudder, all the craftsmen concentrated on continuing to work in the workshop, and there was not even a single person who came to inquire about the movement.
This was originally a good opportunity to escape, and most of the Fu Daoist priests also thought so, but Xiao Xia insisted that everyone come here to take a look. His reason is that this is originally the Shenji Hall and the Tang Sect are in the first place, and there is no reason for the people who were framed by them to hold their heads and run away, I heard that the young heroes of the Zhengdao Alliance are here, and they also have Zhang seniors to support them, it is a great opportunity to return to this justice, so it is natural to come to the hall masters and deacons of the Shenji Hall in a dignified manner to explain it.
It's just that his words are of course difficult to move others, but with the support of Old Man Zhang, it is completely different. The identity of Zhang Yuhong's real brother is too dazzling for the wild Taoists, and the Taishang Innate Zhengyi Dragon and Tiger Restraint Divine Qi Forbidden Law that was shown before is simply as wonderful as an immortal law, even if he was not very well plotted by Xiao Xiao later, he immediately took out the strength of the innate master, and set aside the chaos with a spell to beat the Xining Zidao who was bought by the Tang Sect into an idiot and rescued everyone. It is not an exaggeration to say that even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, as long as there is a senior Zhang who cultivates as a god, these talisman Taoist priests will really dare to break through.
However, when the dozen or so wild Taoist priests in this group arrived there, the scene in front of them stunned them all. This once spacious hall is already a ruined wall, dozens of people are lying in it, some are only unconscious, some are already limb and dead without corpses, and the wild Taoist priests know that among them are several deputy hall masters and deacons of this Jingzhou rudder.
While others were still in shock at first sight. Xiao Xia rushed directly to the white-clothed figure curled up on the ground and did not move, probed his pulse and breathing, and then let go of his hanging heart and carefully picked it up.
"Qingfeng Dao Chief, is that you?" a voice came from not far away. Xiao Xia was lying there with Nangong. He already looked like the best of all the people here, and although the blood oozing from a wound in his heart had stained half of his body red, at least he was alive and could still speak. Right next to him, a headless body lay there, and from the clothes and size Xiao Xia recognized that it was Li Shishi, Nangong Tong's loyal deputy.
"What's going on?" Xiao Xia walked over with Mingyue in her arms. Ask. Although it was Nangong Tong who instructed him to sneak in, Xiao Xia didn't think that Nangong Tong would be a shadow guard, at least not a shadow guard, he didn't have that qualification at all, maybe he was being used, maybe he was just helping.
Nangong Tong didn't answer. Just asked, "Is Miss Mingyue okay?"
Xiao Xia looked at Mingyue in his arms and said, "It's just that I fainted." β
"That's good. Nangong Tong looked relieved.
"Who knocked her unconscious?" Xiao Xia looked at the few claw marks on the ground around him, and of course he could tell if it was from Mingyue's hand, or if it was a rather fierce fight.
"Tang Jianyu, the eleventh youngest of the Tang family. β
Knowing that this person should no longer be here, Xiao Xia was still tight, and he guessed that there must be another Tang Sect disciple sitting here. But he didn't expect it to be an inner disciple. Tangjiabao has a total of thirteen rooms, and only one person in each room can become an inner disciple, which means that there can only be thirteen inner disciples in the entire Tangjiabao, and any one of them is an extremely terrifying figure. Mingyue just fainted, which can only mean that the other party did not make a dead move.
"Dead. Not even a corpse remained. Nangong Tong's answer was completely unexpected by Xiao Xia.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Natsu again.
Nangong Tongchang still didn't answer, and sighed weakly and asked, "I can't see when I'm lying down, please help me see, how many people are still alive in the Zhengdao Alliance now?"
Xiao Xia frowned, a little unaware of this guy and turned away, but vaguely felt that there was something different about him from before. looked up at the wild Taoist priests who were already rescuing those dying young heroes of the Righteous Dao Alliance, and said, "I don't know, it doesn't look like there are many." β
"I killed them," Nangong Tong muttered, looking at Xiao Xia again. "I almost killed you, but luckily you're okay. Otherwise, Miss Mingyue won't forgive me."
I asked one last time. What the hell is going on?"
At this time, Xiao Xia felt a slight movement in his arms. Then Mingyue slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at Xiao Xia who was close at hand, Mingyue was not overjoyed, but just smiled, reached out and hugged Xiao Xia's neck and buried her head in his neck: "Daoist Xia, I knew that you must be fine." I miss you so much these days. β
"I miss you too. Xiao Xia also smiled sincerely, and the green silk next to his cheek made him feel that the wreckage all over the ground was not so bloody. Gently patting Mingyue's shoulder, Xiao Xia put her down on the ground and asked, "What the hell is going on today?
"Yes, but it's okay, this Nangong Gongzi turned out to be a good person. Mingyue looked at Nangong on the ground and smiled.
Nangong Tong on the ground also smiled, half plain and half bitter.
Less than half of the people who survived in the end of the Zhengdao League, and they were all those who fainted from Tang Jianyu's fine needle at the beginning, and all of them died after taking the anti-poison elixir, Tang Jianyu's second shot of the iron cone was undoubtedly a heavy hand, it was undoubtedly a special iron cone The damage to the limbs is far greater than it seems, and the torso must be pierced into the body to crush the internal organs, even if the torn wounds on the limbs cannot stop the bleeding on their own, and then they are on the ground for a while, even if the wild Taoist priests who came later rescue it is uselessγ
On the contrary, Luo Yuanquan survived, and I don't know if this guy's rough skin and thick vitality are more tenacious than those young heroes, or Tang Jianyu's cone was mainly to save the piece of Divine Light Talisman and rushed to his shoulder, although he fainted due to excessive blood loss, but his life was actually saved. After bandaging it, like other young heroes of the Righteous Dao League, he was carried on a simple stretcher by two wild Taoist priests with clothes and solid talismans and left. It is also thanks to these wild Taoist priests who came with Xiao Xia, otherwise Xiao Xia and Mingyue would never have been able to transport these unconscious young heroes away. Even Nangong Tong was carried out of the Shenji Hall by two wild Taoist priests.
As for the unconscious incense lord deacons in the Shenji Hall, except for one or two who were really unlucky, the position where they were lying down was just in front of Mingyue's full claw, and they were torn into corpses by the sharp claws, and the others were all asleep and unharmed at all. These are all talents that can be used. Tang Jianyu probably just used means like incense to stun them. Xiao Xia and they had no choice but to let them lie there, and when they left, they just asked a wild Taoist priest to inform the craftsmen in the workshop behind. There are all kinds of medicines and craftsmen in the Divine Machine Hall, and they will treat them slowly, as for how this mess should end, it is no longer something they can consider now.
###
In the courtyard of the Nangong Mansion in Jingyang City, the surviving young heroes of the Righteous Dao League were poured into the antidote elixir of the Nangong family not long after. They all slowly woke up. When they heard that everyone except them was dead, some were shocked and angry and scolded Shenjitang and Tangjiabao, and some were so sad that their faces were like earth. They all fainted early, and they didn't know anything about the next life, which has to be said to be a rare luck, which allowed them to save their lives. It also saved the mood and spirit to anger.
Nangong Tong's injuries are not serious, but they are not light, they can only move. Seeing his pale face dragging his body to apologize to everyone, he said that today's QiΔ was all blamed on his planning mistakes. Naturally, all the young heroes don't even dare to say it, this blame Tang Sect is vicious and despicable, regardless of his face, he controls his own person, and directly tears his face and does it. If it weren't for the brave struggle of Nangong Gongzi and Mingyue Fairy Li Shishi Gongzi, maybe these people would have died in Si. In the future, Nangong Gongzi will still be the well-deserved leader of this righteous path alliance, and they will only look forward to Nangong Gongzi Ma.
Nangong Tong didn't say much, just asked them to rest here for a while, waiting for reinforcements from other parts of the Righteous Dao Alliance.
As for those wild Taoist priests, Nangong Tong specially set up a banquet to thank them. These lowest-level wild Taoist priests in the rivers and lakes never dreamed that they would one day be able to step into the Nangong family's mansion and be thanked by the Nangong family, and they were all so excited. Of course, before today, Nangong Tong would never have dreamed of it.
But. Among these wild Taoist priests, there is an old man Zhang's cunzΓ i, which is also a very key reason. A congenital master of Taoism, the elder brother of Zhang Yuhong, a real demon subduer, is indeed a guest who cannot be ignored even for the Nangong family. It's just that this master sympathizes with Nangong and refuses all the invitations he has been waiting for a few days, and he also asks you not to mention him in front of people, and today's matter is over. Just as if he was just an old country man passing by by accidentally. The words and expressions are still the kind of overly polite and slightly cowardly of the three generations of old farmers, just like they can't stand the rich atmosphere of this Nangong mansion, and they must leave with the other wild Taoist priests.
Before leaving, Nangong Tong gave each wild Taoist priest two hundred taels of gold, saying that it was to compensate them on behalf of the Shenji Hall, and if they needed to testify against the Shenji Hall in the future, they would also be asked to stand up. These wild Taoist priests were naturally even more grateful to tears, saying that the Nangong family deserved to be the right way in the world, and they must promote the righteousness of the Nangong family on the rivers and lakes.
When bidding farewell to Old Man Zhang alone, Nangong Tong gave him a pair of trumpet prosthetics carefully made by the main hall of the Shenji Hall, which is said to have been made by Master Wei Sher when he was still alive, using the most delicate and powerful smart wood and several rare materials, which are almost the same as real legs. This is what Nangong Tong specially sent to Jingzhou to ask for after hearing what Xiao Xia said, although there has already been a pot of porridge over there, but this kind of trivial matter is not a problem.
Old man Zhang naturally laughed so much that his face was rotten, and he held these prosthetic limbs in his arms with his calloused hands, as if he was holding his grandson. It's just that when he said goodbye with a thousand thanks, he also said it to Nangong Tong and Xiao Xia again, hoping that they wouldn't tell others about their affairs, especially those from Longhu Mountain.
"Putting such a Taoist innate master in the countryside to farm is indeed a shame for Longhu Mountain, and it is no wonder that he is afraid that this matter will spread out. Xiao Xia couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Old Man Zhang's back as he gradually moved away. Such a master of the Daomen, needless to say, if he does anything, just stand there with his identity clear, and many problems will be solved naturally, just like today. But he was willing to work all his life in the countryside. It is said that he is a Taoist state of mind without desires, but seeing that he can be happy like that just for the prosthetic limbs of his grandson, it always makes people feel a little uncomfortable to watch.
Nangong Tong shook his head and said, "It's not the shame of Longhu Mountain, it's the shame of Zhang Tianshi." But he couldn't help it. A real demon Zhang Yuhong is enough. If the brothers are of the same heart, even if others don't have that mind, he will not feel at ease sitting in the position of heavenly teacher. β
"Oh, aren't they all from the Zhang family anyway?" Xiao Xia didn't know much about the intrigues and intrigues in these families.
Nangong Tong looked very clear, and said: "The Zhang family has been inherited for so many years, and it has spread so big and widely. There can only be one Heavenly Master in the past dynasties, and the various trade-offs in it are not necessarily simpler than those in the court. Otherwise, how could there be Maoshan and Zhenwu Sects rising one after another to divide the status of Dao Sect Grandmasters? In contrast, the Tang family's strict and cold style is really the style of family inheritance, but it is a little too painful for the Tang family's own people. β8555
Xiao Xia glanced at him and couldn't help asking, "What about your Nangong family?"
"Our Nangong family has a good head and two good uncles. But none of them have any children, so the other juniors in our rooms don't have to worry about anything and can live well. It was our luck. Nangong smiled at the same time, also with bitterness. "It's a pity that it's easy to raise some waste. β
"It's okay. Natsu smiled. After coming out of the Shenji Hall, Nangong Tong seemed to have changed as a person, and the previous flashy and beautiful were gone, but the charming demeanor of the family on his body seemed much more natural, and after all, he was a child of a big family, and he also had basic brain knowledge. The two days of reassuring people's hearts and cleaning up the aftermath are indeed an atmosphere that the children of the family should have.
Nangong agreed and let out a long sigh: "Just now, the Shenji Hall sent the news over, and their side has almost stabilized for the time being, just waiting for the people from the Tang Sect and the main hall to come and take over." I've done everything I can here, and after I've cleaned up everything I should have done, I'll wait for others to clean up this mess. I'd better go back to Nangong's house, this is really not a place for people like me to stay. β
Xiao Xia was really a little curious about what happened in that hall at that time, and he was able to change Nangong Tong so much, even if it couldn't be said that after going through the wind and rain, he changed his appearance like a sword out of the sheath, at least it was no longer an embroidered pillow that was a little offensive. As for how bad the stall left behind is, even if Xiao Xia didn't see the process with his own eyes. You can feel it very clearly from the results.
"Now in the end, the only thing left is the question of Qingfeng Dao Leader and Miss Mingyue. Nangong Tong turned his gaze to Xiao Xia: "Speaking of which, I also want to thank Daoist Qingfeng for your trust in me, staying here and not leaving." β
"Didn't Miss Mingyue also say that you are a good person. I believe that good people can never be wrong. Natsu smiled. "And even if I want to leave, I may not be able to leave"
It is said that "this is outside the gate of Jingyang City." There was no one around, but Nangong Tong still subconsciously looked left and right, and then said, "Why don't we talk about it in another place." β
###
In the middle of the small lake in the backyard of Nangong Mansion, a unique bamboo and wood pavilion stands in the rippling blue waves around it, and several maids hurriedly retreat after preparing fragrant tea and preserved fruits, leaving only Xiao Xia and Nangong sitting in the same pair.
Nangong Tong took a sip of the fragrant tea in front of him and said, "My Nangong family's house usually has such a small lake pool, and the surrounding area is all in full view, so you can speak with confidence." β
Xiao Xia also gently took a sip of the tea in front of him, only to feel a penetrating fragrance swirling between his mouths, it was definitely the best tea he had ever tasted in his life, even if the appearance and posture of the maid who made tea just now was not as good as Mingyue, she was also a first-class beauty, the movements of making tea were beautiful and smooth, obviously it was hard work, as if she inadvertently looked at Nangong Tong with a kind of flattery that was well concealed, but it could be felt at a glance, but it was a pity that Nangong Tong didn't look at her. Look at the surrounding artificially dug out of a large area of lake, there is live water in and out of the upper and lower levels, the breeze blows, and the blue waves are surging. If this kind of enjoyment can only cultivate waste, then probably ninety-ninety-ninenine-ninety-nine men in the world will be willing to be a waste.
Even Xiao Xia himself has to admit that he really wants to stay in this environment where waste is cultivated for a while.
"How is Miss Mingyue's injury?" asked Nangong Tong.
Xiao Xia didn't expect that after he came here without wanting others to eavesdrop, the first question he asked was this, and he was slightly stunned and replied: "Fortunately, she has been meditating and healing for the past two days." Aren't you going to see her?"
"No, I won't. It's better not to look at it. Nangong Tong sighed and replied lightly. In the past two days, he has been to see everyone, even Luo Yuanhuan, who is still unconscious, but he has never seen Mingyue. After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "Actually, what I want to say is to ask Qingfeng Dao Master to quietly leave Miss Mingyue for the time being." β
