Chapter 9: What I Saw and Heard in Guyang City.
It is said that Li Zhenguan escorted a group of bandit leaders on Qingyang Mountain, got off Qingyang Mountain, and finally came to an open land, a place he had dreamed of for a long time.
Feeling the joy of freedom, I began to think about what to do next. The first task at the moment is to hand over these people to the Yamen of Guyang Mansion, and then completely eradicate the bandits in Qingyang Mountain.
Maybe he didn't have the strength to say this kind of thing before, but now it's different from the past, a sixteen-year-old monk who has entered the Four Realms, although he doesn't say that he is a very powerful person, but in this Guyang Mansion, he still has to weigh it carefully.
So the young man in front of him was full of ambition at this time.
On the way down the mountain, he met Wu Bad and the woman again, Wu Bad dictated that he was recovering from his injuries here, observing the surrounding layout by the way, and then preparing to find someone to avenge Li Zhenguan. Under that kind of encirclement, he really didn't think of a possibility that Li Zhenguan would have any chance to come back alive.
In fact, Li Zhenguan himself didn't expect that the formation that was enough to wipe him out would end in that way. Regarding Jiang Qianli's violent death, he thought about it all the way on the road and didn't understand what was going on.
The only thing that can be said may be that he has his own celestial phenomena. But the rhetoric seems to be ......
He told Wu Bad about this question, and Wu Bad felt strange at first, but when Li Zhenguan chattered about everything it did on this Qingyang Mountain, he immediately knew the cause of Jiang Qianli's death - Zhongping Array, or the misused Zhongping Array.
According to Wu Bad, this Zhongping Formation has the miraculous effect of resurrecting people, but the premise is that the killer must use the same power to kill the opponent when he or she is balancing the mirror in the bombardment array. And this kind of control is not only accurately grasped by the killer himself, then it can only be grasped by the master who compels the killer.
And when Li Zhenguan bombarded the mirror, he didn't show any mercy at all. Directly crossed a realm. The result of this is that the person can only live for another half a year at most.
Because this kind of person who brings people back from the dead is the creation of heaven and earth. Therefore, this resurrected person can no longer attain martial arts or literary orders. Otherwise, he will die on the spot.
And this will be a thousand miles away, and all the taboos that should and should not be committed have been walked through.
Jiang Ziwen couldn't have imagined that he would change the main position and let his son experience the realm of Zhitian, but it caused a complete reversal of the situation. The three-hundred-year-old bandit foundation on his Qingyang Mountain was also destroyed because of this.
Jiang Qingzhuo and his entourage, who were escorted by Li Zhenguan, also turned pale when they listened, and they didn't know if it was because they had misgrasped the timing or regretted their misuse of the formation. After all, for losers who fall short, every step on the road is material for regret.
After listening to Wu Wei's explanation, Li Zhenguan's smile on the surface was shocked and frightened, if he used a trick incorrectly along the way, or reversed its order, then he might be rotting freely in a stinky ditch in a mountain now.
But everything has a cause and effect, since he Li Zhenguan did not die here this time, then there is no need to suspect that it is a demon, everything has to look forward.
Regarding Wu's analysis of the formation, Li Zhenguan was satisfied and dumbfounded. In my heart, I was even more curious about the origin of this powerful and cold person in front of me. And who knew that he would be killed on Qingyang Mountain, and then let people come to save him.
All of this is an unexplainable mystery, so he wants to ask Wu Wei to clarify. He believes that there is nothing bad about this person. After all, a man who can protect his promise with his life will be trusted by any man. This has nothing to do with birth or ability, it is completely out of a man's innate romance.
Listening to Li Zhenguan's question, Wu Wei first stared at him for a while. Then he began to speak slowly, and when he looked at Li Zhenguan, he was actually thinking that those contents could be told to him now, and those contents could not be told to him now.
After combing it twice. Wu Wei began to talk slowly. "I can only tell you part of it, not all of it, and someone will tell you the rest when you get to Luoyi. As for my personal situation, I can tell you, I am the Luoyi Wu family, my family has been a general, my father, and my grandfather are now the generals of the Qi Sheng Dynasty. The Warriors are now our commanders. As for who asked me to come and save you, you don't know yet. The teacher told me not to let you know about his existence. ”
Li Zhenguan was also quite amazed when he heard the answer, after the gate, he was still the commander of the Wushu army, which was good, powerful.
There is also the mysterious teacher of Wu Wei, although his original intention was not to let Li Zhenguan know about his existence. But Wu Wei seems to understand only half of this sentence. He understood not letting him know to mean not letting him know his name......
Wu Wei looked at Li Zhenguan with an unfinished look, and thought about it in his mind again. Then he said with a serious face.
"That's all, I'll tell you everything you know."
Li Zhenguan was also surprised to see Wu Bad's appearance. Why is this person with such a high level of martial arts cultivation so ...... in terms of keeping secrets This may mean that God will open a door for you and must close a window!
After understanding the general course of the matter, Li Zhenguan and his entourage set off to prepare to go to Guyang City, but when they set off, they encountered a little interesting incident.
As for the woman who was rescued by the two of them, the two of them intended to let her go home by herself, but the woman said that she had no home and asked them to bring her with her. The reason given is that there are people among them who they have been looking for.
This seems to be a posture of not leaving and preparing to eat and drink, but this absurd reason is really ......
And in the end, she also told the specific candidate - Li Zhenguan. According to his description, he has been looking for Li Zhenguan for 16 years and 10 months.
Then Li Zhenguan asked her how old she was, and he replied to a familiar number—sixteen years and ten months.
"Damn", Li Zhenguan scolded in his heart, this nonsense is not at all level. It's hard that she was looking for herself as soon as she was born, so she was really moved.
For this scene, Li Zhenguan couldn't help but look at the people on Qingyang Mountain behind him, but received a roll of Jiang Qingzhuo's eyes.
Also, it shouldn't be their plan at this time.
In this way, Meng Yao followed Li Zhenguan and his party into Guyang City, and walked next to Li Zhenguan on the way, and the reason given was that he had finally found it and could not lose it again.
Outside the ancient city wall, there is an open plain outside the tall city wall. On both sides of the plain are the cliffs on both sides, rising from the ground, neatly and neatly, straight up, and at first glance it is artificially modified. And on the top of the cliff are also many strange buildings.
This is the purpose of ambushes.
The group quickly entered the city, and after entering, there was a lot of traffic and people on the streets. Do all kinds of buying and selling. There are snacks, odd goods, sugar people, cloth villages, grain stations...... There was shouting and selling everywhere.
A scene of peace......
Most of the people on the street are in twos and threes, women with children, husbands with wives and children, grandfathers with grandchildren...... But it is true that a group of people like Li Zhenguan and them hardly saw the second batch again.
Also, in such a market, two young men with a girl, and a few big men and a woman and an old woman were handcuffed in the back. It's a bit weird, so after they walked less than a few hundred steps, about a hundred people turned back......
Being looked at like this, Li Zhenguan didn't feel anything wrong, because after all, he had been in Guwang Village for sixteen years, and it was the first time he had come to such a big city, and he regarded this as a greeting from the people in the city.
Like Li Zhenguan, Meng Yao didn't react, and still followed Li Zhenguan half a step.
But Wu Bad and the people in Qingyang Mountain are different, one is that they don't want to be noticed by too many people and want to keep a low profile, and the other is that they are escorted on the street in broad daylight because no one has face. Of course, the old woman is an exception, she is very calm, neither the confidence of Li Zhenguan's fascination, nor the nowhere to hide of the others.
It's that she still has hope in her heart, and there is also a hope of resurrection and life after death
Finally, Wu Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly ran to a hall near the organ hall and lit a wooden horse with a human name, and sent them to the yamen of the government department.
This so-called organ hall is a few gadgets invented by the commoners of the world without the blessing of martial arts cultivation, in order to be able to make their lives better, and they are still very popular among the people, after all, there are only a few people who can practice martial arts in this world.
The products produced through the organ hall are uniformly divided into six levels: time, place, and people. And these things are also useful in all walks of life.
The so-called Trojan horse is a kind of suggested means of transportation, which is generally available in big cities, and his function is simply to carry tourists around the city.
Here, Wu Wei is nothing more than trying to use its enclosed space to avoid the eyes of curious people on the street.
Several people sat on this Trojan horse, Wu Wei's heart ushered in purity, and Li Zhenguan was busy comparing the description in the book with this realistic thing. Everyone on Qingyang Mountain also has their own expressions, and they have their own calculations in their hearts.
The master who drove the Trojan horse was very talkative, and began to talk non-stop as the Trojan horse began to drive, from ancient times to the present, from heaven to earth. In the end, it mysteriously settled in the current situation of this Guyang Mansion.
"Do you know that among the various mansions in the various provinces today, our Guyang Mansion can be ranked first?" The old master asked proudly while driving the wooden horse.
Everyone also shook their heads according to the old master's meaning. got the response he wanted to see, the corner of the master's mouth smiled slightly, and then he began to tell one after another, that serious posture, for fear that this point would not be made clear in this Guyang Mansion.
Based on the content of the master's speech, I will divide it into the following central ideas and a few small points to make a summary......
First of all, it is definitely not a problem for this Guyang Mansion to rank in the top 20 among all the provinces in the world, but this is not the case with Guyang Mansion six years ago, to be precise, before the person who caused this key change came, Guyang Mansion was in chaos. And since which adult arrived. This Guyang Mansion has a new look.
Before that, this Guyang Mansion was famous for two things - lawless thieves, including the Qingyang Mountain thieves and the Guyang River He thieves. Then there is the Guyang River flood that is endless, and the Guyang River flood that has not been effective has been returned to treatment.
These two things can be said to have harmed the people of Guyang Mansion.
In the spring, everything recovers, and the bandits descend the mountain; In summer, the grass is abundant, and the river bursts; In autumn, the grain does not climb, and the river thieves come ashore; In winter, everything is silent, and the snow is heavy. At the beginning of the year, the arrangement of natural and man-made disasters was clear and clear, leaving no gaps. In this environment, the people are looking forward to the light day after day, year after year.
Fortunately, in the end, it came.
I remember that in the summer of that year, the day before was in full bloom, but heavy rain began to fall at night, and for one day in a row, the river in the Guyang River swelled. The levee is about to burst. The lord of the palace called the more than 4,000 soldiers who were guarding the city to repair the embankment.
As a result, the defenses of the city gate became empty, and at this time, the most unexpected thing happened. The bandits of Qingyang Mountain and the bandits on the Guyang River actually joined forces to attack the city, and there were about 2,000 people in the black press, almost all of them. But at this moment, the sergeants are building dikes on the river. It was more than forty miles away from the city gate, and it was almost impossible to rush back immediately. You can only let a few generals in the army who practice martial arts go back to defend. But that's still not enough.
Although martial arts monks have the ability to influence the trend of the battlefield on the battlefield, that is when there are no monks on one side or there are very few monks.
But the situation at this time is that there are monks with no low realm among the mountain thieves and river thieves, and it seems that there are no fewer people than the generals who practice martial arts in Guyang Mansion.
At this time, the most important thing is that the defenders will not be able to recover in time and will not be able to return to help. Because there is also a river embankment on the river that is about to burst, and it needs to be reinforced.
At that moment, from the government to the Li people, they made up their minds to die this time, but they didn't know if they would die at the hands of thieves or at the hands of the flood.
According to common sense, it is impossible for this thief to dare to directly attack Guyang City, and there has never been an incident in history.
So the moment the thieves appeared at the mouth of Guyang City, people knew that this Guyang City was gone, because they didn't have any preparations for this at all.
But as in many novels, miracles happen.
A person, a man and a horse, wearing a brand new red-robed official mansion, wearing a hat, never carrying a blade in his hand, and never having an entourage by his side. Came out of the city gate with the sound of gurgling and slowly moving horses' hooves.
When the thief leader saw the official who had come, he carefully checked for a while, and found that he had no soldiers or horses with him. Without laughing, the thieves behind him also shouted.
However, the red-robed official did not change anything because of the situation in front of him. Still not in a hurry, he walked towards the thief's camp according to the previous rhythm.
The eyelid officer is getting closer. The thieves who were originally laughing on all sides slowly suppressed their voices. Finally, after a while, the red-robed official took the reins in his hand, and the horse let out a few gentle neighing sounds. The man stopped less than ten paces away from the thief.
"Do you know that you have committed a capital crime on this trip?" The red-robed official spoke, his voice not too loud, and he was relatively peaceful. It's like telling an extremely ordinary thing.
"Oh? Then you might as well tell me how you are going to let me die, ah? The old man at the front of the thief formation was the first to speak, and this person was Jiang Ziwen.
"Naturally, it's using my royal method of the Qi Holy Dynasty." The red-robed official replied without hesitation.
"Wang Fa? But at this time, it seems that there are more kings behind me than there are adults behind me? Jiang Ziwen said with a smug and mocking face.
The red-robed official didn't say anything about Jiang Ziwen's words, just looked at him quietly for a while. Clapped his hands, and more than a dozen people flew out of the city tower in an instant, all of them were martial arts monks, and their realms were not low, and the worst was also a three-mirror stopper. The crowd did not land, but floated behind the red-robed official.
"Is my royal law enough now?" The red-robed official said slowly, with a point threat in the middle. But Jiang Ziwen didn't buy it. It's just a simple slurp, but it doesn't mean to retreat.
Indeed, it is a bit insufficient for these dozen or so people to retreat from this group of thieves. But how could this red-robed official stop there, after all, he retreated, and the people of the city were ......
But the red-robed official did not intend to fight to the death, he wanted to let this group of thieves retreat without spending a single soldier, and slowly destroy them at the lowest cost in the future.
But with these dozen or so martial arts monks, it really doesn't seem to be enough. After all, all of these people's martial arts cultivation was cultivated, not innate.
In this world, martial arts is a bit weird, most people can't practice it, even if they can't practice it, there is an unwritten and extremely unfair rule below Zhitian.
That is, the martial arts that come from cultivation are a few grades weaker than those that are innate. Because those who are born can reach the great perfection of the innate realm. On the other hand, what comes through practice is only the first understanding of the realm.
In fact, this is why Li Zhenguan and Wu Wei can be on Qingyang Mountain with an enemy and not fall behind. The reason for the breakthrough of the realm is only a matter of one or two sentences.
These people are all born rich and noble, and they are dragons and phoenixes...... The starting point is the end point that many people can't reach alone.
But above the Five Realms Knowing the Heavens, that's not the case. From the moment a martial arts monk who has relied on cultivation steps into Zhitian, the realm gap between the four realms in front of him will be immediately repaired, and each realm will directly move towards the Great Perfection.
Then, in the rest of the practice, as long as they continue to practice diligently, perhaps those monks who are born rich and noble will be able to catch up.
Therefore, if the red-robed official was leading more than a dozen naturally acquired monks at this time, then these people in front of him might be able to immediately subdue on the spot, but there was no if.
But the red-robed official is not unaware of this, and there are two reasons why he is so confident.
For one, the people behind him were not city guards, but he brought them with him. And the city guards were on their way at this time. Among them, there are also more than a dozen monks from the Four Realms.
Sure enough, during the time when the two groups of people and horses were facing each other, more than a dozen figures galloped towards here. A middle-aged man who took the lead looked at these people floating in the sky and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The last general, Bai Zhuolong, meet Lord Trusting Fu Ling. Your Excellency hasn't arrived at the Yamen of the Prefecture yet. When I saw this red-robed official, the middle-aged general who flew over, immediately went over to pay a visit.
This red-robed official is the new Guyang Mansion Commander who has taken office, in charge of soldiers, and his mission here is to hang thieves. She has a single surname. A single name is a wheat word. Ma Mai, yes, it is Ma Mai that Li Zhenguan met in the mountain prison.
It's just that at this time, he is serious and mighty, not a joke.
At this time, the number of people on Mamai's side increased to more than twenty, and all of them were monks from the Four Realms or close to the Four Realms. The outcome is a foregone conclusion. But Jiang Ziwen is still a little unwilling, and still wants to give it a try, after all, this kind of opportunity is not available every year.
But Ma Mai's next operation completely dispelled his unrealistic idea, and he saw Ma Mai float up from the horse's back little by little, and finally stopped in the center. At this moment, his head shone with a multicolored glow. Reach the multicolored divine light of the realm of Zhitian.
Seeing this scene, everyone knew that there was no balance of victory. There are only Ma Mai who holds victory and Jiang Ziwen who holds defeat.
Because reaching Zhitian means that the cultivation of the four realms in front of Mamai is all complete, and the five realms are the watershed between the truly strong and the weak on the way to the five realms. Ma Mai alone in front of him could single-handedly challenge more than twenty monks behind him. Of course, it is another thing to say when you meet the perfection of the natural realm.
So Jiang Ziwen had no choice but to retreat with everyone.
Later, Ma Mai and his party rushed to the river and found that the water in the river was much larger. When I asked, I learned that the embankment that Bai Deyuan, the upstream secretary of the government, had built for several years, and the embankment had burst.
At this time, the embankment in front of the downstream is bursting in a matter of minutes. At this time, Bai Deyuan, the secretary of the government, was also leading everyone to constantly strengthen the river embankment, but it was a little futile, and everyone on the river embankment went back and forth, most of them were the defenders of this Guyang City, some were in their teens and twenties,...... ...... in their fifties
They were not afraid of death, they knew that if they didn't go over, the embankment would collapse, and the people of Guyang City would also suffer great calamities.
They didn't have time to defend the city just now, and they were defended by Mamai. Then this embankment is their gate, and the roaring flood is their enemy. Coexist with the river embankment, either guard the embankment, or break the embankment and walk ahead of the people. Anyway, they have a saying in their hearts, those of them who are soldiers, it is impossible for them to walk behind others when it comes to death, and this has been the case since ancient times.
The emotions of the soldiers were high in the sky, but the merciless flood was not humane.
The embankment eventually broke, and first a small opening, which they took with sandbags to plug ...... And then there was a big mouth, and there was no chance for them to block it. The reinforced embankment was washed away along with the people who reinforced the embankment......
Bai Deyuan was also swept away by the river, but was saved by Ma Mai.
Later, the river became more and more uncontrollable. In the end, it was Mamai who forcibly changed the course of the river, and the disaster stopped.
But Ma Mai also bore a curse, relying on human power to change the trend of mountains and rivers, which was against the sky. Therefore, disasters such as floods and wildfires generally rely on ordinary people. Ordinary monks are not capable of bearing this damnation.
Of course, not all monks are like this, because there is always a group of people who like to challenge the way of heaven, although the success rate is very low, but the feeling of fighting with the sky and holding their fate in their own hands is still very attractive.
