124: Embattled
……
"Boom!"
The ancient temple in the deep mountains, the snow is flying all over the sky, covering the green tiles and the red wall.
Suddenly, there was a melodious bell in the temple, and it rang loudly, deafening.
The temple door is wide open, the temple door is wide open, a person in the hall sits with the Buddha on his back, closes his eyes and crosses his knees, such as listening to the wind and listening to the snow, and is silent and settled.
Until the mountain road outside the temple gate, a figure rushed over, light and vigorous, and hurried to the outside of the hall: "Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master is here." ”
Qiu Xiaolou breathed a long sigh of relief as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and his breath was like a cloud dragon, shooting out from between his mouthpieces and splashing in the white snow: "It's good to come, let's get ready to start the eastward expansion, I can't wait to set foot on this river and lake." ”
The person who came was the copper camel.
The copper camel's facial features stiffened, and he stopped talking, and only then moved his lips to meet Qiu Xiaolou's scrutinizing gaze, and quickly recounted what Li Ducian said on the boat.
Qiu Xiaolou's majestic expression was no longer majestic, and his arrogant demeanor gradually dimmed in those words, and when he heard the bronze camel say that the "Tianmei Palace Lord" had betrayed him, his eyes were wide open, like a lion and tiger, and his whole body was angry, and his eyes were black in an instant.
Looking at the copper camel that knelt on one knee and didn't dare to look at himself, Qiu Xiaolou's eyes were cracked, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a loud roar: "Ah! ”
The wind in the hall was fierce all of a sudden, the roof tiles were shattered, and the terrifying and terrible roar roared out like a dragon roaring and a tiger's roar, and the frost and snow over the entire Lingyin Temple were chaotic and disorderly in an instant, turning into powder in the sky.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The copper camel's head was lower, he did know that Sun Xingyu had other thoughts, just because this woman had also bewitched him and wanted to subdue him.
Just to protect Qiu Xiaolou's reputation, and even more so to prevent this sect leader from falling into madness again, he could only suppress this matter in his heart, but he didn't expect Sun Xingyu to be so ambitious.
At the foot of the mountain, Li Ducian couldn't help but shake his head when he listened to the heartbroken and angry roar on the mountain.
In fact, there was still a sentence in his heart that he didn't say: "A bunch of fools." ”
The Lady of Bliss was very direct, she looked around carefully, and then laughed out loud: "This huge foundation, seeing that the hegemony is about to be obtained, I don't want to end up being ruined because of a woman, tsk, I really don't know whether to say that our sect leader is infatuated, or if there is something wrong with the brain." ”
Li Ducian stood in front of her, smiled slightly when she heard the words, put an index finger in front of her lips, and admonished in a casual tone: "Silence, I always feel that it is not good to fall into the well." ”
The Lady of Elysium nodded her head in a strange way, and then sighed in a low voice: "This person is too blindly confident, not to mention that he is still a pillow person, and he can't believe us, it is normal for being smart to be mistaken by being smart, and there are many stupid things in the world that are more stupid than this, but it is really rare to have such a big price." ”
"Yes," Li Ducian looked at the rising clouds and smoke on the mountain, his eyes slightly condensed, "but his first reaction was not to make a countermeasure in time, but to roar in that heartbreak, it was too stupid." ”
Listening to the two of them talking in a whisper under Qiu Xiaolou's feet, the faces of the two elders, Miao Tianwang and Tie Yan, turned white.
"It's a pity," Li Ducian didn't panic, and said slowly, "I originally planned to use the momentum of the Demon Sect to fight those few again." Woman, red face and trouble, King Zhou You lost the world because of a woman, and now this person has made the hegemony empty because of a woman. ”
Hearing this, the Lady of Bliss angrily said, "That's not necessarily. If the Happy King joined forces with the Yunmeng Fairy back then, who in the world could stop him? But this man actually abandoned her because Wang Yunmeng's martial arts were too high, betrayed the sea oath and mountain alliance, so that in the end, everyone betrayed his relatives and left, and he died without a place to be buried, so he can only blame himself for being too stupid. ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
As he spoke, the bell on the mountain rang loudly and magnificently.
Li Ducian smiled: "I finally reacted, but I don't necessarily have to lose, thousands of elites, plus a group of masters, if they are properly mobilized, they may have a chance to turn the situation around." ”
He turned his head and told a few people behind him: "Now that you are turning from offense to defense, you should pay attention, but don't be blind when you are only one step away from glory and wealth." ”
"Ghost Child!"
In the wind and snow, I saw a group of people rushing this way.
The first person was Ma Kongqun.
This man's steps were sonorous and powerful, and his steps rose and fell in an orderly manner, like a fierce horse galloping, and he came very fast.
And behind Ma Kongqun were followed by five big men with swords, all of whom wore good swords, and they were all extremely well-dressed, very luxurious, and all of them had cold faces and cold eyes.
Li Ducian turned around and showed a smile: "Deputy Sect Master Ma, this is the land route?" Was it smooth along the way? ”
Ma Kongqun smiled, he didn't speak, a big man beside him raised his chest and raised his head, and said with a full spirit: "With the support of the five tigers of my Peng family, it can become smooth even if it is not smooth." ”
Tie Yan and the others shouted in unison: "Bold! ”
"It's okay," Li Ducian waved his hand and glanced at the five big men casually, "The people from the 'Five Tigers' in Guanzhong actually returned to the Peng family, interesting, who are you?" ”
Dahan said in a deep voice: "Peng Lie! ”
Li Ducian rolled her eyelids: "I haven't heard of it." ”
Peng Liehu's eyes widened, and he pressed the knife and shouted: "You ......"
"The ghost boy is famous all over the world when he is just starting out, and there are still many people who don't know him," Ma Kongqun pressed Peng Lie, and said with a smile, "The waterway that the son walked?" ”
Li Ducian climbed the mountain step by step, and the bell rang suddenly, which was to convene the demons of the Quartet to discuss major matters.
"yes, it's not a smooth road." He said.
Ma Kongqun said "oh": "I also had many twists and turns along the way, fortunately, there were no dangers, but I found that on the way here, those people in the martial arts seemed to be deliberately evading, for some reason." ”
Miao Tianwang sneered: "Don't worry, you'll find out later." ”
The two groups of centaurs seemed to be born to look unpleasant, except for Li Ducian and Ma Kongqun, who were walking in front, who looked at each other with a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, and the few people behind them all showed each other's murderous intentions and looked at each other coldly.
At the same time, many people came to the mountain one after another.
At this time, I saw a red cloud coming from a distance, stepping on the snow and frost as if it did not touch the ground, looking from afar as if relying on the void to resist the wind, the wind swept around the body, and the flying snow vaguely gathered into a ball outside its body.
Before he could see clearly, the red cloud roared, fell from the sky, and fell in front of everyone's eyes.
The red robe was rolled up and wrapped around a thin and short figure.
Great Elder.
The old lama's expression was solemn, but he still greeted: "The two deputy sect masters haven't seen each other for many days, don't come unharmed." ”
His whole person didn't seem to be walking, but jumping, jumping and jumping, and he was three or two feet away, and his pace was evil.
Li Ducian asked curiously, "Where did the Great Elder go?" ”
The old lama didn't hide it, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "I went to Luoyang and broke into the main hall of the 'Money Gang'." ”
Li Duciao's eyes flashed: "I'm afraid that the layout inside is empty, and there is no one to take charge of it." ”
The old lama smiled and shook his head.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Li Ducian raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that I guessed wrong?" ”
The old lama looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Shangguan Xiaoxian is still in Luoyang, and he seems to be practicing in retreat, with strict guards around him and many masters. ”
Li Ducian's face changed because of this, and he frowned and said, "The Great Elder has seen it with his own eyes? ”
The Great Elder nodded: "You can't be wrong, I only retreated after seeing her with my own eyes." ”
Li Duciao's brows furrowed even deeper, now that the siege has been completed, how can that person still be in Luoyang, is the news of joining forces fake? Or did he guess wrong?
A group of people all walked into the "Lingyin Temple", just waiting for the news obtained by a few people to verify each other, and their faces were difficult to look at.
Qiu Xiaolou's face was like frost, swept over everyone, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think you should do now?" ”
Ma Kongqun said in a deep voice: "Now that the situation is like this, the advance is full of killing opportunities, and the retreat is also endless, not to mention that Shangguan has not arrived, in my opinion, the odds are still there, maybe the ghost boy is thinking too much, of course it is...... Kill. ”
The Great Elder's face was cloudy, his eyes flashed sharply from time to time, and blood flickered from time to time, obviously it was a good situation yesterday, but now it was in danger, how could he not be shocked, how not to be angry, but more depressed and aggrieved.
He turned his head to look at Li Ducian and asked, "What does Childe think?" ”
Li Ducian lowered his eyes, didn't think about it, and only spit out one word: "Guard!" ”
At the end, he added: "Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, we should respond to all changes with the same, with our confidence, even if he joins forces with several forces, besides, the northern martial arts are empty......"
Without waiting to finish speaking, Qiu Xiaolou only seemed to have red eyes, fainted, and said in a cold voice: "Going east and east, you want to enter, this trip must not be wasted, does the Great Elder have an opinion?" ”
The old lama pondered for a moment and said, "Sect Master, whether it's true or not, for the sake of safety, it's better to go north first, after all, the northern martial arts are empty, as long as you get out of the encirclement, and then join the tens of thousands of demons, the ending will never change." ”
"Wait," Ma Kongqun suddenly spoke, "Sect Master, Great Elder, there may be something else going on in this matter, whether we are caught in the siege is all speculation of the Ghost Prince, if it is fake, wouldn't we have given up the current good situation?" And who knows if it's a deliberate trap? Disturb the morale of the army. ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of a group of people looking at Li Ducian changed again.
After all, this person first rebelled against the "Blue Dragon Society" and then against the "Money Gang", and now it seems not surprising if he has a different heart again.
Li Ducian smiled when he heard this, he squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Kongqun with interest, and said calmly: "If the sect leader and the great elder doubt me, you might as well wait." ”
Ma Kongqun asked, "What are you waiting for?" ”
Li Ducian glanced at the sky, then looked at the people present, and said lightly: "Now that we people are gathered together, it is a good time to catch them all, if I am the Green Dragon Club and the Money Gang, I will never let you go." ”
The Great Elder's cheeks trembled, and he commanded outside, "Release all the falcons and keep an eye on the movements of the four directions." ”
For a while, I suddenly saw eagles and falcons rising into the sky, straight into the sky.
Everyone stopped talking, and the air froze like an iceberg that would not melt for thousands of years.
The hour passed little by little, seeing that the snow was weakening and the sky was getting late, Ma Kongqun said indifferently: "The ghost boy still has ......."
"Wow!"
But a sharp hawk's cry interrupted him abruptly.
More than one sound, the eagles and falcons circling in the sky made movements one after another, and their cries were endless.
Everyone's faces changed.
"Returning to the sect leader, I found the ear and eye spies of the Central Plains Martial Arts."
Hearing the reply of the demons, Qiu Xiaolou said expressionlessly: "How much?" ”
The copper camel said in a hoarse voice: "There are a lot, there are them in all directions." ”
In addition, outside the temple, suddenly a Demon Sect member hurriedly caught up, looking miserable, and said urgently: "Sect Master, a large number of people from the Jiangnan Martial Arts Family have been found twenty miles to the north. ”
Then the second, then the third......
"Sect Master, there are quite a few people from the south who have been killed."
"There are people in the west, too."
"To the east is the men and horses of the 'Blue Dragon Society'."
……
Qiu Xiaolou Huo Ran got up and said sharply: "Just according to what the Great Elder said...... Brothers, kill with me! ”
I saw that some book friends felt that there were too many invincible characters in the book. In fact, the word invincible of Gu Long cannot only be seen literally, but also biased towards a state. Changes in age, mood, and experiences may progress or regress. And invincible people do not mean that they will not be defeated, there are many factors that determine life and death, and there are no absolutes in victory or defeat itself.
