Chapter 125: The Black Veil Secretly Crosses
"It's really ridiculous, the vast world is turbid and disorderly, but because the righteous people have distorted the nature that should return to nature, the world is covered in lies, bound to the chains of justice, and bound to the chains of the world, is this a blessing for the world?"
The man in the black veil suddenly turned to look at the man in Tsing Yi who was sitting at the wooden table and thinking about himself, his eyes shining like substance, and his hands clenched the window lattice. After a long time, he turned to sneer, "The Huangquan demon has small crumbs, and he pouts here, thinking that he can put me in the abyss by relying on this, just like an idiot talking about a dream."
"Let me ask you, why is there a distinction between the high and the low, the difference between the superior and the inferior, and the choice between the upper and lower in this world? If the great spirit lasts forever, then the life in this world will be so unfair, some people are destined to live a life of poverty, and some people are destined to stand above all sentient beings?
The eyes under the black veil were closed, and the window lattice held by both hands suddenly shattered into powder under the spiritual power, and the man with the black veil suddenly said, "Shut up, all living beings have the blessing of heaven, how can you be allowed to reverse right and wrong, I hope that the people in Huangquan Pavilion will save my life, I will not embarrass you today, and leave quickly, if I know that there are people from Huangquan Pavilion in Sanssouci City, if it hinders the survival of Sanssouci City, my Sword Emperor Gate will be destroyed."
The loud sound of the window lattice shattering did not cause any surprise to the people in Tsing Yi, he drank the bamboo leaf wine in the cup, filled two glasses again, picked up the wine glass and walked to the window, and a glass of wine was sent to the black gauze man, "Come, drink this cup of wine", the man in Tsing Yi looked at the circle of ripples on the lake outside the window, "Even if Huangquan Pavilion does not interfere in Sanssouci City, Sanssouci City is difficult to compete with the barbarian and underworld clans, and Tianhuang City is the best precedent."
The man with the black veil seemed to be extremely surprised, and his eyes looked sharply at the man in Tsing Yi. "You think I'm going to believe you, the Heavenly Desolate City is ruined. Huangquan Pavilion didn't even intervene?"
The wine sent by the people in Tsing Yi was not accepted, so he drank a glass in his hand. Said, "Yes, in the battle of Heavenly Desolate City, Huangquan Pavilion intervened, but only rescued one mortal, and the others were not affected."
"With the power of the barbarian and underworld clans, the Sword Emperor Gate should be able to contend with it, and in the battle of the Heavenly Desolate City, the Sword Emperor Gate is one step late. is not able to turn the tide, this sword emperor is the fault". As if remembering something, the man in black gauze stood in front of the window.
"The two barbarian clans have entered the territory of Yinlu Country two months ago, so heavy on the military situation, how can the Sword Emperor Sect not know?" the man in Tsing Yi smiled in surprise, "Tracing the moon, as a great disciple of the Sword Emperor, you are famous, and you are unrivaled for a while. With your intelligence, you haven't even figured it out with such an inside story?......" The man in Tsing Yi threw down the wine glass in his hand and bent down with a smile.
"Scorching winds. What nonsense are you talking about?" Before Tsing Yi finished speaking, Tsing Yue instantly drew his sword and stabbed Tsing Yi with a "Ten Styles of Leaping Clouds". "Ten Styles of Leaping Clouds". Sword Emperor Gate's nirvana, once stabbed. There is no blood, no collection, not to mention that it was the eldest disciple of the Sword Emperor who stabbed this sword, Su Yue.
However, the people in Tsing Yi seem to have been on guard. When the moon was about to draw his sword, he had already dodged out. Even so, there were several gaps in his clothes.
Thrillingly dodging the sword stabbed by Su Yue, Yan Feng jumped to his feet and scolded, "Fortunately, you have not practiced the 'Ten Styles of Leaping Clouds' to the peak, otherwise, my little life will be buried here today, so you can go back to the door to receive merit."
Su Yue didn't press forward step by step, a sword missed, and it was inserted back into the sheath in an instant, "Yan Feng, your other skills have not grown, and your ability to escape has improved a lot, when did your shadow step improve like this?"
Yan Feng lowered his head and patted the placket of his clothes that had been cut out, "Tracing the moon, Huangquan Pavilion will not interfere in the battle of Sanssouci City, but your strength is far from enough, it is better to give up as soon as possible."
The moon turned to look at the lake, the water was crystal clear, the fish in the water swam in groups, and the weeping willow branches danced and swayed, reflecting the blue sky.
Unexpectedly, this time the moon tracing did not have half of his anger, and only heard him say softly, "Even if I am defeated, I will never retreat by half a point, and under the Sword Emperor, how can I retreat in the face of difficulties."
When Yan Feng heard this, he jokingly said, "The Sword Emperor Gate actually sent only one person to save Sanssouci City, a good Sword Emperor Gate, is this the so-called Heavenly Dao of the Famous Sect?"
"Shut up". In an instant, Su Yue wanted to draw his sword again, but the cyan figure had already fled away.
Only the sound of the wind still echoes on the surface of the lake. "Thank you for your mercy, otherwise, with what you just did, you could have taken my life."
Su Yue let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, uncovered the black veil under the hat, and showed a white face as paper, soft as a woman's eyes, if there was anyone here, he would think it was a beautiful girl.
The latticework shattered into splinters under his hands, and the window enlarged in a circle. He looked at the clear blue sky, trying to calm himself as calmly as possible, but his frowning brows could not hide the painful and distorted expression.
"Since you ignore it, then I'll come."
In the battle of Heavenly Desolate City, the barbarian and underworld clans were both defeated. The underworld army went all the way north, crossing the Burial Lin Mountains to the wild plains behind Sanssouci City and encamped, while the barbarian army pressed forward step by step, stopping at the Burial Lin Mountains, and the strength of the two tribes was equal, and neither dared to rush to send troops. In the battle of Heavenly Desolate City, both clans needed time to rectify and recover, and the confrontation situation lasted for a whole month.
Five days have passed in an instant, and the confrontation between the two clans has gradually deteriorated, with a team of Underworld Spirit Knights shuttling through the periphery of Sanssouci City, and barbarian elk eagles also crossing the sky above Sanssouci City to reconnoiter the movements of the Hades. Although there were 50,000 old, weak, sick and disabled reinforcements from the Yinlu Kingdom living outside Sanssouci City, they seemed to be ignored by the two clans and blatantly galloped around the Yinlu Army.
The soldiers in Sanssouci City are only as many as 5,000, in this situation, the Lord of Sanssouci City Liushu Kuaima asked for rescue from the Imperial City, and the King of Yinlu was helpless, raising half a moon to only send such an old and weak remnant army as reinforcements from Sanssouci City, Yinlu Country reinforcements were weak, and they witnessed the barbarian and netherworld armies all over the mountains and fields, hideous and terrifying like barbarians, dark and ghostly like the underworld, which made the people in the imperial city reinforcement camp panic and the army's heart was scattered. If it weren't for the extremely severe punishment of Yin Lu State to punish deserters, the reinforcements of the imperial city would have been defeated and collapsed. The explorers of the two ethnic groups around him failed to stop him, and let him go free.
The Lord's Mansion of Sanssouci City, the reinforcements of the Imperial City and many generals of Sanssouci City gathered, one of them had bright armor, a beard on his face, and sat on the first place with his forehead in his hand. The generals all stood with their heads bowed, and the hall was unusually silent. Needle drops can be heard. It's been a long time, and the hall has been silent.
The man on the first seat slapped his forehead. Looking up at the many literati and military generals, "What? On weekdays, they only talk about it, but at such a critical time of survival, they are all silent at the moment, everyone here is living and dying with Sanssouci City, if Sanssouci City is defeated, your lives will not be saved, if there is any good strategy, it is as good as you can say?"
Everyone in the hall bowed their heads, and a military general said in awe. "It's all up to the adults."
The person in the first seat suddenly stood up, and his voice was fierce, "You have also witnessed with your own eyes how brave the two armies of the barbarians and the underworld, if you don't make a decision, Sanssouci City will be destroyed sooner or later, and no one is silent at this moment, then you will die together with Sanssouci City."
"Report", a shout broke the deadlock, and a Sanssouci soldier rushed to the top of his life. Landing on one knee, he said, "A person outside the mansion claims to be under the Sword Emperor and wants to see the general."
Suddenly, everyone didn't know why, and they exchanged words one after another.
One of them, dressed in official uniforms, said, "Sword Emperor Gate?
Another humane in silver armor. "It is rumored that the Sword Emperor Gate takes it as its mission to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, and regards the safety of the world as its own responsibility. This person's presence should not be detrimental to Sanssouci City."
Another person said, "The Sword Emperor is all extraordinary. One husband is invincible. If this person is really from the Sword Emperor Sect, ask for his help, and Sanssouci City will be safe."
"The Sword Emperor Gate has never been loyal to any force, and there have never been any Sword Emperor Men people in the Heavenly Desolate City, but now how can they be willing to help Sanssouci City?"
......
On the first seat, the general waved his hand to stop the people who were disagreeing, and said, "Please invite the Sword Emperor."
After the general finished speaking, the soldiers kneeling on the ground rushed out of the conference hall, and after a long time, they saw a man wearing a hat and a black veil slowly entering. Who is it if it's not the moon?
Hundreds of civilians and warriors all looked at the rumored Sword Emperor Sect with wide eyes, however, to the disappointment of many people, the so-called Sword Emperor Sect people did not have three heads and six arms, nor were they tall and straight, and their bodies were much thinner than ordinary people.
On the first seat, the general was skeptical, but he didn't dare to show any posture, but he stepped forward quickly and said respectfully, "Shen Zhuo, the commander of the reinforcements of the villain Yin Lu Country, has seen the adult."
Su Yue was not polite to him, looked around the hall, looked at the person in front of him with bright armor, and said, "I am the eldest disciple of the Sword Emperor, Su Yue, this time I came to assist Sanssouci City to resist the enemy, what good strategy can the general have to retreat from the enemy this time?"
When all the civil and military officials heard this, they were all happy and in a good mood. If the Sword Emperor Gate is willing to make a move, how can the danger of Sanssouci City be a problem?
However, such straightforward words made the audience embarrassed, and Shen Zhuo was even more ashamed. Facing the Sword Emperor Gate, he could only say cheekily, "I am waiting for this time to be discussed, and now that the Lord is here, the Lord is in charge, and I am willing to follow the Lord willingly, do you say yes or not?" As he spoke, his gaze swept to the people around him.
"We are willing to follow the adults." A neat and high-pitched voice echoed throughout the chamber.
Shen Zhuo hesitated for a moment, and then babbled and said, "It's not that we don't believe in the adults, but the matter of Sanssouci City is very important, can we ask the adults to show their supernatural powers, so that everyone here can be convinced that the adults are really people under the Sword Emperor."
The hall was as quiet as a chilling cicada, everyone looked at each other, who would have thought that this person must be a member of the Sword Emperor Gate, if this person swaggered and deceived under the reputation of the Sword Emperor Gate, wouldn't the safety of this great worry-free city fall into the hands of a person who deceives the world and steals his name?
Su Yue inspected everyone's questioning gaze, and suddenly a faint white halo gradually lit up on the surface of the robe, and the whole body slowly left the ground and rose to the top of the hall. The whole person is as dazzling as a round of tomorrow, and everyone under his feet is as fragile as ants.
Traced Moon instantly pulled out the Moon Drinking Sword and stabbed forward, and in the blink of an eye, the blue Moon Drinking Sword stabbed countless afterimages in the air, and the speed was so fast that everyone under their feet was stunned.
Just listening to the sound of "bang", the sword shadow stabbed out by the moon and turned into three dazzling golden characters of "Sword Emperor Gate".
The hall was suddenly silent, and everyone stared in disbelief at the awe-inspiring moon over the hall.
"This, is this the stunt of the Sword Emperor Gate? Shen Zhuo's tone was actually stuttering at this moment.
Before everyone could return to their senses, Su Yue had already fallen to the ground, the light emitted by his body disappeared, and the three dazzling golden characters of "Sword Emperor Gate" in the air disappeared, and Su Yue's whole person returned to his previous appearance.
"Can you believe that I'm not a fake?" asked Su Yue, ignoring the stunned crowd.
When Shen Zhuo heard this, he immediately smiled. He stepped forward and said, "Haha." The Sword Emperor Gate Fruit is extraordinary, so skilled. Even if the entire barbarian and underworld races have nothing to fear."
"It's true that I am a member of the Sword Emperor Sect, but I will not be able to fight against the barbarian and netherworld clans with my own strength, even if the two clans are in the camp, they are by no means general, there are many masters of the barbarian and netherworld clans, if you pin your hopes on me and the moon alone, Sanssouci City will inevitably be destroyed."
Shen Zhuo said respectfully, "My lord is too humble, and no one knows that everyone under the Sword Emperor is as skilled as a god. How can the danger of Sanssouci City be under the words of adults?"
Tracing back to the moon, I finally understood that Yinlu Country was unbearable and even Yusi. The king has no way, the minister has no talent, the people are ignorant, everyone enjoys happiness, is content with the status quo, and the decay has reached a hopeless place.
However, the monarch bears the sky, and the common people are not guilty. The Imperial City reinforcements are already weak, if they collide with the barbarian and underworld armies. The ending speaks for itself.
Night gradually covered the entire vast land, and the darkness turned out again, controlling countless creatures of the gods, just like the scene of the end of Sanssouci City. And those who are immersed in it can still sleep with their hearts and souls, is this the belief that the Sword Emperor Gate brought to them?
The silent night sky with twinkling stars. From time to time black clouds swept over the eaves, inside the pavilions. The Moon Drinking Sword, which faintly emitted a ghostly light, stood alone in it. The black veil under the hat covered his fair face, and the black hair that hung down his shoulders flowed in the breeze.
He had been standing in this pavilion for nearly two hours. but it has not moved a single bit. "Tracing the Moon, Tracing the Moon, you bear the name of the great disciple of the Sword Emperor Sect in vain, but you have deceived the truth in the whole city, even if you die with the city, can you erase some sin in your heart?" he muttered.
Today, I have discussed for a long time with many defenders of Sanssouci City, but many of the strategies of the clouds are as ridiculous and pathetic as children, and many of the strategies are nothing more than relying on the Sword Emperor Sect's great disciple Su Yue to fight with the two armies of the Barbarian Netherworld, block the two armies of the Barbarian Netherworld, and turn the tide of the tide. However, he is not a god, how can he stand up to an entire army with the strength of one man, and how can he save all the people of Sanssouci from the flames of war?
He knew that he couldn't save Sanssouci City by himself, but he couldn't convince those defenders that the blind trust of the defenders of Sanssouci City in the Sword Emperor Gate had reached an unshakable place, what about the barbarians, what about the barbarians, all ants under the Sword Emperor Gate, it seemed that as long as he was here, he could sit back and relax, and he could sleep peacefully, and the next scorching sun rose, he could see the barbarians and the underworld both prostrate under the Sword Emperor's Gate.
However, at this point, he had no way to lay out how Sanssouci City could survive under the siege of the barbarian and netherworld armies.
"How many attacks can the Blood Demon Array withstand?" he looked up at the sparsely starry night sky and muttered, "Master, can you actually watch the Barbarian Underworld slaughter the city?"
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Zhuo found all the soldiers of Sanssouci City early to wait outside the Moon Trace Gate. A soldier entered for a while, and finally saw the great disciple of the Sword Emperor Sect in the pavilion.
When the soldier saw such a scene, he was instantly stunned, and after a long night, he saw that Su Yue was still standing where he stood last night with the Moon Drinking Sword in his arms, like a stone statue that had not moved a bit.
After a long time, the soldier knelt down on one knee. "General Shen and all the civil and military officers are already waiting outside the door, and I also invite your Excellency to come and deploy it in person."
Su Yue closed her eyes, slowly raised her head, and took a deep breath of early morning air, as if she would never have a chance to inhale such air after taking this breath.
"Let's go". He opened his eyes, turned and walked out of the pavilion and headed out the door.
Everyone lined up in an orderly manner, with a respectful and cautious attitude. Seeing Su Yue, who was wearing a hat and a black gauze covering his head, slowly walked out of the house, Shen Zhuo, who was at the forefront, said, "I've seen adults."
Everyone behind Shen Zhuo knelt on one knee, "I've seen an adult."
Mixed with uneven voices, it was so harsh in Su Yue's ears, he waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Everyone, didn't I say it yesterday, I am not your commander, don't be like this."
Shen Zhuo flattered a few steps forward and said, "The Sword Emperor is willing to save Sanssouci City, and the lives of the whole city are nothing compared to such etiquette."
Su Yue interrupted, "Is everything arranged?"
According to the will of the adults, the people in the city have moved to Xicheng, and the 50,000 imperial city troops outside the city are collecting huge stones, all of which are arranged in a zigzag array, and then the trap is ready. The 5,000 defenders in the city are stationed on the city in the north and south gates, and they can activate the formation only when the barbarian and underworld tribes further attack."
"What's going on with the Barbarian Underworld?"
Shen Zhuo said: "The barbarians lined up in formation, as if they wanted to advance to Sanssouci City, but the underworld had no movement."
Su Yue looked at the nearly 100 military generals in front of him, and couldn't tell the joy and sorrow. He said lightly, "Extrapolate from this." If the barbarians set off at this time, it would take an hour to reach the outside of Sanssouci City. Moreover, the target of the barbarians is not Sanssouci City, but the Hades, so you should quickly collect the items you need, and be sure to complete the Blood Demon Array within half an hour."
Except for the West Gate, within an hour, the streets and alleys of Sanssouci City were empty. The City Lord's Mansion has been vigorous and resolute in recent days, in order to speed up the dispatch and even kill chickens and monkeys, the backward people have turned into cold corpses under the butcher's knives of the soldiers of Sanssouci City.
Such a generous transfer has already caused the people to panic, although the city lord's mansion has vigorously suppressed it. The residents who moved to Xicheng were still angry, and unease and fear spread among the crowd, and although no one dared to make a big noise, they all knew that Sanssouci was in danger. No one has one life, and no one is not afraid of death.
After a large number of immigrants moved to Xicheng, the originally wide streets and houses were overcrowded, and a stack of felt hats rose and fell with the waves. The inside of the felt hat is dull, the edges are pulled under the eyes, and the face is not visible, under the gloomy felt hat. A few strands of cyan hair could be faintly seen hanging out. There is no conspicuous place for such a person to be among the immigrants, and it seems to be integrated with the large number of immigrants.
The incident happened suddenly, when the city lord's mansion ordered the people of the three sides to relocate. He accidentally stepped on a man's shoe, only to see the man jump. Scolded, "Dog thing." Don't you have long eyes, dare you ......", but when the man faced the darkness under the felt hat, the angry expression on his face was instantly replaced by fear.
There was a shadow under the felt hat, and it was impossible to see the true face, but there seemed to be something terrible hidden in the darkness, and it was just a human face, which would be terrifying.
He didn't say anything, turned around, and continued to walk towards the west city in the crowd.
The man stood on the spot, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but driven by curiosity and the soldiers of Sanssouci City, he followed the man in the felt hat all the way to the West City.
The faces of the people around him were all flustered, but he was the only one who walked unhurriedly and followed the immigrants deeper into the West City. Suddenly, a hand lightly touched his back, and a voice came from behind him like a mosquito, "Alas, did you say that Sanssouci City would be breached?"
He didn't look back and knew that the person was the person who moved to Xicheng with him all the way with a large number of immigrants, this person's name was Xiang Xing, a rich boy in Sanssouci City, who was idle and idle on weekdays. Since coming to Xicheng, he chattered all the way, sharing his many "great achievements" with people wearing felt hats. Xiang Xing used to be in Sanssouci City, but now the arrival of the barbarian and netherworld armies has made his usual status as superior to others plummet, and he is no different from other civilians at this moment.
The man in the felt hat replied casually, "Let it be."
"I heard that the barbarians are all hideous, fierce and abnormal, drinking human blood, eating human flesh, and doing everything, while the underworld is all soul bodies, passing through the yin wind and gusting everywhere, and not a single grass grows, so you are not afraid of death?"
"I have never been afraid of death".
The man under the felt hat stopped, as if pondering something. In the crowd, the people behind him followed suit, and collisions were inevitable, and passers-by stumbled past him, hugging him and moving forward.
Xiang Xing couldn't help but chant behind him, "Damn Shen Zhuo, he actually treats Young Master Ben like this, as well as this group of homeless people, he is respectful to Young Master Ben on weekdays, but today he treats Young Master Ben as nothing."
At this moment, a team of Sanssouci City cavalry galloped over, and only in front of everyone did they suddenly take off the reins, only to see the soldier at the front groped out a yellow paper scroll from his arms, and unfolded it, "Lord Shen Zhuo has an order, Sanssouci City is in a critical situation of survival, and the city is ruined. Yesterday, thanks to the help of the Sword Emperor Gate, the City of Sanssouci will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety, and at this time, the Sword Emperor Gate needs your participation in carrying some materials in case of war."
"Haha, can't fool me and wait?, how can the Sword Emperor Gate come to the rescue in this mere Sanssouci City?" one of them immediately retorted.
As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed each other.
"Yes, when the Heavenly Desolate City was destroyed, the Sword Emperor Gate never appeared, why would he save him now?"
"What exactly is the intention of the City Lord's Mansion?"
All of a sudden, the howls came and went, the soldier looked around, saw that the anger of the crowd was difficult to suppress, put away the rolling paper, and said in a longitudinal voice, "What is the intention of the City Lord's Mansion, you have no right to interfere, as for why the people of the Sword Emperor Gate are willing to help Sanssouci City, we don't know, however, the Sword Emperor's disciple Su Yue is in the City Lord's Mansion at this moment, we have seen it with our own eyes, whether you believe it or not, at this critical moment, all the people of Sanssouci City must not hesitate, and quickly move the tall and hard objects in the city to the West City Gate, if you do not obey, you will not be forgiven." (To be continued......)
