Chapter 309: The Death of the Mountain Ghost
The general trend of the world began to change, some people rejoiced, and some people were sad.
Di Xin took the mighty main force of the royal division and once again embarked on the road of the Eastern Crusade.
In the north, a crimson army, under the gaze of the white-clothed armor array, passed by Hexi and Meng Ji helped to take a photo, and hurried all the way south, heading straight for Mengjin.
"Prime Minister, isn't it a bad idea to do this? When the time comes, the Lord will blame ......"
Zhao Bing stood next to the commander of the Chinese army, scratching his itchy scalp with some embarrassment, and asked incomprehensibly.
"Ziya went out of the mountain, just to clear the origin of heaven and earth, and to return the righteous way, how can you sit back and watch the common people wither? I let go, naturally there is a reason to let go, the song has a faint king, that Emperor Xin is the co-lord of the world, just by enumerating Ziya, there are seven sins,
One is to abuse the people, not to show compassion for the people;
Second, it is said that it is impermanent, and the order changes every day;
The third is arrogant and arrogant, and the army is reckless;
Fourth, it is said that it is not virtuous, and it is not benevolent;
Fifth, there is no eye, and there is no distinction between loyalty and treachery;
Sixth, it is said that there is no way, betraying the alliance and betraying righteousness;
Seven is said to be unwise, you are a king, so that you can rely on courage and resourcefulness.
In the past, the Great Shang was strong, and only Chaoge could stabilize the situation in the world, so the Shang was strong and the princes were weak, now it is different from the past, there is Rong in the north, Di in the west, and Yi in the east took advantage of the situation, Chu Man is dominant in the southern Xinjiang, if it is all by the power of the Great Shang, can he save it? ”
"Don't ask him to be Emperor Xin Lixian, how brave he is, as long as he knows how to use people well, he can really command the princes of the four sides to suppress my luck in Kyushu, this is the correct solution to today's big business dilemma."
Zhao Bing couldn't understand these ideas very well, but when he listened to it, he felt very unreliable, if Dashang could suppress it, Beihai, Jizhou, Pingling, including the current Zhou State, would not be everywhere and the horn of rebellion would be sounded everywhere.
He spread his hands indifferently: "I'm a rough person, I don't understand those crimes, and the prime minister doesn't need to explain to me, how you order, I will execute it, but according to my understanding of Meng Wei, ...... the prime minister let Zhou Guo go south, have you ever thought about how to explain it to him?" ”
Jiang Ziya closed his eyes with a headache and frowned.
There are two sides to everything, how happy he was with the delegation of power to the lord in front of him, and how he struggled at this time when he thought of the previous relationship between Meng Wei and Shang Emperor Xin.
"I am both the prime minister and the boss, if the lord is to blame in the future, Ziya will bear all the blame."
Zhao Bing nodded, didn't say much, turned around and retreated towards the left army that Bian Ji was in charge of.
Without waiting for the official to pass through, Zhao Bing pulled the thin Bian Ji aside and asked seriously: "Xiaoji, do you believe in the eldest brother?" ”
"Big brother, what do you mean by that? You and I are friends in trouble, friends in the neck! ”
Bian Ji looked at the serious expression of the man in front of him, subconsciously put away his laughter, and replied seriously: "I know what you want to say, what the prime minister did did indeed violate the will of the lord, but the lord also said that if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?" ”
"Even if you are a sovereign, you must not go against the will of the majority, the will of the people is the will of heaven, and isn't it what we must insist on doing according to the sky?"
Zhao Bing exhaled a breath of turbidity, gritted his teeth and slapped Bian Ji's shoulder heavily, directly slapping the withered Bian Ji to the ground.
"Sledgehammer, you ......"
"Look at your weak appearance, and you're embarrassed to teach me a lesson?"
Zhao Bing, who was untying the knot, was in a good mood, but he seemed to have thought of something, and after he became happy, he instantly became depressed.
"I think back then, he was still a teenager who needed my help to be in the front row, time flies so fast, haha, it's getting harder and harder for the two of us to keep up with the pace of tasting, since it's useless, then let's give full play to the last residual heat and help him!"
"Xiaoji, Meng Ji can do without me and you, but he definitely can't do without Prime Minister Jiang, let the brothers cover for the prime minister, just say that I am narrow-minded and can't bear the breath of the Qingyang Army, so I fake the military order to let you withdraw your troops, so ......"
Bian Ji looked smug and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, you can think of a mallet, can't I think of it?" ”
"You are a step late, I told my brothers as early as when I evacuated Sanshan Pass, I can take care of this matter alone, why do I need to take you again?"
"Uh......"
Zhao Bing was stunned for a moment, then pulled Bian Ji with a wry smile and hugged this former good brother.
"Silly Xiaoji, I'm your eldest brother, how can I let you bear this matter alone? With the big brother in everything, it will be fine. ”
"Taste, although I can't follow you to help you, but we brothers will definitely help you all the time!"
…………………………………………
In the middle of southern Xinjiang, at the foot of Yinling Mountain.
Meng Wei took the Wu clan and the seven monsters of Meishan to stand on a stone platform in the forest, the lush woods could not stop the exploration of the two brothers Gao Ming and Gao Jue, clairvoyance and the ears of the wind swept all the creatures in this mountain range, carefully screened, and repeatedly confirmed.
The golden light in Gao Ming's eyes went out, and the seven monsters who were waiting on the side immediately supported him with vain steps, and asked with concern: "Brother Gao Ming, have you ever found a mountain ghost?" ”
Gao Ming was a little weak, and he didn't answer, just shook his head.
"Brother Gao Jue, what about your side? Did you hear anything going on? ”
Gao Jue also shook his head weakly.
Seeing that the two of them returned in vain, the seven monsters of Meishan were also depressed.
Zhu Zizhen ran to Meng Wei with some anger and said loudly: "Lord, you have been on this mountain for a few days, and those twelve domestic animals are afraid that they are not lying to you!" ”
"Even if the mountain ghost can be invisible, it is impossible for the Gao Jue brothers to go wrong, as long as there is the slightest movement, they can't escape the detection of the two of them. Behold, nine times out of ten on this mountain, there are no mountain ghosts at all! ”
Several others chimed in.
"Lord, either there are no mountain ghosts here at all, otherwise, even the Gao family brothers will not be able to detect the traces, and we rough people who can only fight and kill will not be able to find his traces."
Meng Wei was silent, holding the leather scroll given by the True Martial Blessing Saint Zhenjun on Wudang Mountain, and repeatedly checked the description of the mountain ghost.
It is not so much a mountain ghost, but a native mountain god of 100,000 mountains, because he has not been recognized by the heavenly court and granted an edict, so he is called a mountain ghost.
There's also an interesting thing to say.
Immortals and mortals are strictly incomprehensible to each other, and from the hand-painted leather scroll of Zhurong ancestors, this is an inviolable rule.
Whether it is the gods in the sky, or the mountain gods and river gods on the earth, it is expressly forbidden to combine with the human race.
The gods represent a kind of rule, which is to help the Heavenly Dao to improve the operation of the world, and the union between gods and gods is understandable, if it is a union between gods and people, it is like a judge and a contestant are husband and wife, which is extremely unfair to other human races.
For example, if there is a drought this year, will the gods divert the original river and give priority to the distribution of water resources to the village where the beloved is located?
From before the throne of the Jade Emperor, gods and men were not allowed to fall in love.
After the Jade Emperor, the rules of heaven became stricter, and even between the gods and the immortals, emotion was no longer allowed.
Think about it, the immortals who are immortals in the back, or the immortals who don't get off the list early, are really miserable, the dignified marshal Tianpeng, but flirting with a little Chang'e, can be directly beaten down from the mortal world, and finally cast a pig fetus.
For the mountain ghost, there is no need to wait for the Jade Emperor to ascend the throne, what he has committed is much more serious than the love between man and god, and the man that the mountain ghost loves is probably eight hundred out of a thousand.
Otherwise, with his specifications of 100,000 mountain gods, it is impossible for Haotian God to let go of such a primordial mountain god who is not low.
Meng Wei smiled on his lips, closed the leather scroll, and asked the avatar outside Hu Lei beside him, "Can you sing?" ”
Mu Ne's doppelganger hurriedly woke up when he heard the protagonist's call, and as soon as he regained his senses, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his own lord ask such a question.
"What? Singing ......"
Hu Lei blushed: "The subordinates will be separated, arrayed, and thundered, but ...... This singing ......, Biyou Palace has never taught us this. ”
"Haha, it is rumored that Senior Sister Jin Ling is as beautiful as a flower, the most dignified and elegant, as her apprentice, how can you not sing?"
“…… Lord, I really can't sing! ”
"It's okay, I'll teach you, you don't need to be proficient, just know a little bit and show your singing voice."
There is a record in the leather scroll, when the Zhurong clan had just moved south. There was a young clansman who accidentally got lost in the mountains to collect medicine, and strayed into the 100,000 mountains, when he was physically and mentally exhausted and was about to die in the mountains, the young man remembered his beautiful wife, and sang loudly in the mountains, in order to express his feelings of longing for his lover.
The singing was not very good, but it woke up the mountain ghost, and he ran to the young man to tell him the beautiful story of himself and his wife.
In this way, the young man searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, talked for three days and three nights, and successfully made this mountain ghost ...... Fell in love with him.
After squeezing out the last drop of essence, the mountain ghost was satisfied with putting it back into the tribe, and continued to sleep in the mountains and forests, waiting for the next 'destined person' to kiss and wake up the sleeping her, and then start a singing and crying "love" story again.
Seeing that the Gao brothers were still weak, Meng Wei was not in a hurry, and let a few people rest for two days, while he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, meditated hard, and saw if there were any materials that could be used in his memory, so that Hu Lei could make up for it.
There's no way, this kind of delicate work, whether it's the group of Tie Hanhan of the Wu Clan, or the monsters of the Meishan Seven Monsters who retain animal thinking, it feels unrealistic to think about it, and if you count the people around you, it seems that only Hu Lei is the most suitable.
Looks handsome, and has a sense of immortal cultivators, among everyone, he is like a jade-faced Tang monk, compared to the other 'Zhu Bajie', 'Sun Wukong', 'Bull Demon King', unless the mountain ghosts have bad eyes, otherwise they will choose with their feet, and they will not choose those few.
Two days later.
Hu Lei stood alone on the top of the mountain, while Meng Wei took a few other people and pasted a few hidden charms, which were hidden in the surrounding jungle and underwater according to the position of the four elephants.
"Lord, I really want to sing!"
In the bushes a hundred meters to Hu Lei's left, a man covered in green grass and branches stood up, cheering Hu Lei forward with an expectant expression.
"Nonsense, we've spent days, if this goes back in vain, wouldn't it be a big loss?"
"Hu Qing, today's events are in our ears, and we will never tell others, so you can sing boldly with confidence!"
If it weren't for the slight stirring of the grass around him, and the faint laughter, Hu Lei would have really believed his lord's words.
But what the lord said is also right, now is the time to race against time, although I don't know why the lord must personally slash the mountain ghost he doesn't know.
But he believed that the lord would never be untargeted.
After taking a few deep breaths of the mountain air with the smell of grass and trees, Hu Lei turned his head, simply closed his eyes, carefully thought about some strange lyrics that Meng Wei had taught him in the past few days, cleared his throat, and opened his mouth to sing.
"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost.
The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side.
Tracing back to it, the road is obstructive and long.
Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water
…………”
The light and empty voice sounded in the forest, and Hu Lei, who kept saying that he was not good at singing, really didn't understand music theory, but he didn't know if he didn't sing, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Meng Wei was shocked.
This song is hundreds of years old, or even a thousand years old, and it is not difficult to sing, and the whole process is stepping on the five tones of Gongshang Jiao Zhengyu, without too many changes in the voice, and it does not require too many skills to show off skills.
Paired with Hu Lei's voice as if kissed by the god of flowers, it only needs to be simply repeated, and it seems to be like heaven in this era.
Gao Jue's ears, who were crawling beside Meng Wei, trembled slightly, and he subconsciously pulled Meng Wei's sleeve.
Meng Wei put his index finger between his lips and made a downward pressure movement with one hand, reminding everyone to be calm and wait patiently.
A breeze began to blow slowly through the dense forest, shaking the leaves and swaying as if they were dancing.
The bright sunlight runs through the gaps between the leaves, like golden lanterns, sparkling and refracting the beautiful lights.
If he left behind the entire secular war, and put aside the pressures and crises that pressed on him, the scene at this time was really a bit beautiful.
It's a pity that Meng Wei didn't have time to appreciate it, he quietly took out the Great Sword of Emperor Yan from the beast bag and hid it under him, staring at Hu Lei with dead eyes, waiting for a clever signal.
"Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and right.
Tracing from it, it is like being in the water. ”
After singing the song, Hu Lei exhaled softly, slowly opened his eyes, and the beautiful scenery around him made him stunned.
It was only for a moment that he regained his senses, scanning his surroundings with the corner of his eye.
‘? ’
There was nothing around, and the lord clearly said that as long as he used the courtship song, he could lure the mountain ghost out, but he sang a song, and the mountain ghost didn't come at all.
Hu Lei was a little depressed in his heart, feeling that he had sacrificed in vain, Zhu Zizhen was right, the twelve earth branch gods seemed to be respectful to the lord, but in fact, they were just deceiving the lord, there were no mountain ghosts in this Shantou at all.
Just when Hu Lei turned around, he was about to ask the lord whether he would continue to sing now, or simply go home.
A lovely woman dressed in Xue Li's waist and pothos clothes appeared in front of him as if she was teleporting, so frightened that Hu Lei retreated again and again, staggering away.
The girl covered her mouth and chuckled: "The so-called Yiren is on the water side!" Childe, do you have a beloved? ”
Where would the frightened Hu Lei answer her question, directly pulled out the broken sword on his waist, pointed at the woman and asked angrily, "Where is the demon?" What are you going to do in broad daylight? ”
"What do I do? The little girl wants to ask her son, do you have a beloved? ”
The woman in the green pothos stepped forward, and Hu Lei just wanted to raise the sword as a deterrent, but two vines quickly grew on the ground, and he strangled the broken sword.
Before Hu Lei could pick up the trick, the woman quickly took out a handful of daisies from behind her, mixed with dots of colored grass in the middle, and handed it to Hu Lei.
"Boom."
"Demons! I am a cultivator, how dare I damage my Dao heart? ”
"Come on, Childe, this way of courtship in the mountains, people will come to try it every year, if Childe didn't come to me, why did he sing the lyrics, the so-called Yiren, on the 'water' side?"
The pothos girl, or the mountain ghost, turned into a vine, quickly swept across the ground, and came straight to the young Taoist in front of her.
Hu Lei was just about to abandon his sword and retreat, but the vines were already asleep and the surface of his feet quickly climbed on his body, and after a while, he turned into a 'fair' beauty like a thin snake, wrapped around him.
The tip of the vine turned into a beautiful woman, looking at him with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that the son is still a pure yang body, and his cultivation is also unfathomable, and the slave family's favorite is a little boy like you who has never experienced love."
bursts of fragrance, spit on his face along the words, but he didn't feel the charm, he only had grief and indignation in his heart, and wanted to scream, but he had the desire to restrain his voice, for fear of disturbing the mountain ghosts.
'Damn, I can't move, don't come, don't come!! ’
'Get out of here, stay away from me!!' ’
"Lord, why don't you do it yet?"
The mountain ghost's body exuded the fragrance of strange flowers, and after a while, Xiao Hu Lei raised his head and glared angrily.
Just when he thought he was about to die, several pitch-black backlit figures appeared in the sky.
A two-handed sword with a fire pattern on the blade of the sword slashed off the beauty's head.
"You demon, no wonder Meng couldn't find your existence even after searching the mountains, you actually set up an illusion array on this Hidden Spirit Mountain a long time ago."
"If it weren't for the revelation of your body, the two generals under my command noticed the movement, and almost made your junior brother lose his reputation!"
Wu Ting flashed with thunder, snatched Hu Lei, at this moment he seemed to be affected by the fragrance of flowers, let the thunder on Wu Ting's body hit his body, he still couldn't sleep soundly.
All around, the Seven Monsters and other Spirit Pattern warriors of the Wu Clan formed a formation one after another, a set of four-elephant magic arrays to seal the space of the mountain ghosts, and a set of thunder guidance magic arrays constantly consuming the wood divine power of the mountain ghosts.
"Ahh Let go of me, Wu Clan, you are Wu Clan and Demon Clan, I am the mountain god, I am the mountain god of 100,000 mountains, why do you ambush me? Why are you hurting me? ”
You are the mountain god of 100,000 mountains, not the mountain god of my Central Plains, and your hands are stained with the blood of the human race, why can't you hurt it?
Meng Wei didn't care about her wailing, the blood of the mountain ghost was full of evil, and there was a strong obscenity in the evil spirit.
Or that's what she chose, a big love against divinity, it's just that this hobby, some waste people, waste men.
I'm afraid there are not many men in this heaven and earth who can withstand her request like this, after all, one is a human, and the other is a mountain god who doesn't know what trees are cultivated.
Feeling the killing intent and strong strength of the group of people in front of him, the vines of the mountain ghosts danced into afterimages all over the sky, frantically whipping the magic circle, trying to break the formation and escape.
Meng Wei shook his head lightly: "You are right, you and I are indeed innocent and hateless, Meng will not find some hypocritical excuses, today, even if Meng can't stand you, if there is an afterlife, I hope that you and I can meet, and then make amends!" ”
A red line appeared in the middle of Emperor Yan's great sword, half of the blade was covered with Samadhi True Fire, and half of the blade was covered with Heavenly Fire.
The thick heavy sword was plunged deep into the mountain ghost's body, and the raging flames found the best attachment, burning violently directly from the inside out.
In a short time, this hard-to-find and hard-to-kill wood-based mountain god was purified into black ash by the flames, and with the majesty, it was sprinkled in the sparkling woods.
Meng Wei stretched out his hands, recovering the flames in one hand, and a faint green light lingering in the other.
Before he could begin to absorb, he only heard Wu Ting's anxious cry.
"Meng Wei!!"
"Look at this little Taoist priest in your family, why is he bleeding?"
