Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Temple of Wind and Snow Mountain (Part 2)
December 26, Boxing Rites, Gold Value.
It is advisable to sacrifice and avoid breaking ground.
Towards the end of the year, the long streets and alleys are filled with a lively atmosphere, and a touch of orange and red rises from the junction of heaven and earth, dyeing the sky and shining brightly.
Hanoi County, Chaoge, the old capital of Yin Shang.
In the past, it was the center of a generation of imperial dynasties, and since King Wu established the Zhou Dynasty, this ancient city has gradually become ordinary.
The terrain is built along the banks of the canal from outside the city, and if you look down from the heights, they are lined up one after another, and the towns and cities are intertwined according to some indescribable pattern, circle after circle, and finally converge to a high platform in the center.
It is the place where the king self-immolated to the sky, and it is also the place where the Xuanniao descended from heaven in the past.
Such a glorious and magnificent city naturally has enough to match its flow of people, even if it is not the day of the market, the street is also crowded, and there are always men who rest under the street trees, boasting about the sights and stories of the north and south of the river, and talking about the dragons and tigers of the thirteen states.
In addition to the official mansion in Chaoge City, the major forces compete, and it is difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom, so the fish and dragons are mixed, and there are many hidden masters, which are relatively disorderly.
In front of the beacon tower, a young man in purple clothes and green shirts stood with his hands in his hands, looking at this magnificent old land, and all kinds of emotions rose in his heart.
The person who came was Xiang Ji, who came from Luoyang, went to the court to make an appointment, and did something to intercept and kill.
Just one day before he arrived in the city, several officials jointly signed a letter requesting a thorough investigation of Wang Meng and Wang Ji, but they were stabbed on the table by the Shi clan.
All kinds of culpabilities were exposed one by one, which suddenly caused a wave of reprimands against the eunuch group, and the fierce counterattack of the scholars after the second party disaster made Wang Fu and others have to temporarily avoid the edge and choose to dissociate themselves.
Without any obstruction, the Shi Clan Group's actions were even more rapid, directly characterizing it as absconding for fear of crime, and mobilizing the people of the Dragon Guardian Villa to arrest them.
As one of the ten permanent attendants, Wang Fu naturally will not give up, and he will leave the relationship behind him on the surface, but secretly he has already arranged the manpower of the disaster elimination building to solve it, and he must wipe out all the clues that can affect him.
Xiang Ji, who received the news, couldn't help but shake his head, these have nothing to do with him, today is just to kill.
The beacon tower has been abandoned for a long time, surrounded by weeds, the sun shines through the branches, sprinkled with pieces of gold spots, and soon another person arrived, dressed in a brocade robe, dark red robe, straight sword eyebrows, straight nose and wide eyes, extremely handsome, and there is a touch of arrogance and nobility between the eyebrows.
Xiang Ji faintly felt a little familiar, but he hadn't seen this face, so he couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Shanhe, it's me." It wasn't until the other party opened his mouth that Xiang Ji realized that it was Yuan Shao who had arrived, and he didn't know how to change his face, but there was not the slightest trace of a human skin mask.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw him rushing to his true face, this was too sincere.
Instead, I saw that he took out a thin dough like a cicada's wings from his bosom, "This trip is dangerous, in order to avoid exposure, I brought some special human skin masks, which can isolate the induction of spiritual power, which is produced by the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, which is trustworthy." ”
After taking the mask, Xiang Ji put it on his face, and suddenly felt a coolness, and when he looked up again, his face had changed, and he became a person with his eyebrows flying like fire, the corners of his eyes hanging up, the bridge of his nose towering, and the evil aura was full of flying and domineering, but he looked like an unscrupulous boy, or a person begging for a living in the evil sect.
With such a change, it is difficult to recognize even the mountain catchers and others in person, as if they have changed their faces.
"You are really well prepared, if I didn't happen to see you wearing a mask, I wouldn't have been able to identify you, Brother Shanhe.
Dragon and Tiger twenty-five, congratulations. Cao Cao also changed his appearance, changed his strong outfit, his sleeves fluttered, chic and uninhibited, but he was carrying a black gold lance, elegant and ferocious temperament coexisted, and the end was strange.
Xiang Ji glanced at the big lance he was carrying, and couldn't help but be curious, what is this lord's main road weapon? It seems that Cao Cao has never seen Cao Cao's attack until now, and it is very hidden.
Soon, Liu Bei also arrived, because of the dragon qi in his body, he had already given birth to a special miracle, and he could freely change his bones in the Book of Changes, so he was the least likely to be exposed among the people.
In the time of a stick of incense, Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Yue, Zhang Miao, Wu Chen, and Wu Fu arrived one after another, all of them were disguised and modified, and even the number of martial arts roads was deliberately covered up so as not to be recognized.
Among the ten people, only Yuan Shu did not come, and he himself would not go to the appointment, but he was just a few people who were used to making up the scene, and he was not used to seeing any eunuchs dare to do anything to the Yuan family.
Everyone had expected this, and they were not surprised, and they directly discussed their own preparations and plans, and the masters of this level all had strong confidence in themselves, and their hearts were as solid as a rock, and they knew that they were going to do it, and they were naturally fully prepared.
Today, kill Wang Meng and kill Wang Ji.
Everyone has their own ideas, and the lines and means of thinking are also different, some advocate strong attacks, frontal attacks and kills; It is recommended to ambush and wait for the rabbit; There are also suggestions to squat and settle down, light a fire and then besiege it, and there are many arguments for a while, and no one can convince anyone.
Cao Cao doesn't think there's anything, throughout the ages, real people are mavericks and unaffected people, if a person doesn't even have his own unique personality, how can he practice unique martial arts? How can you achieve something that ordinary people can't achieve?
It is unreliable to measure them by the standards and eyes of ordinary people.
In the end, it was Liu Bei's dragon qi in his body that played a role, and his charm increased greatly, persuaded Yuan Shao, chose to wait for the interception of the rabbit, and ambushed Wang Meng and others on a mountain road, where there was a mountain temple, there was a mountain temple, there was a lot of wind and snow at night, and the road ahead was deliberately blocked by several people, they would inevitably choose to rest there, of course, even if they didn't choose to rest, everyone had a way to create an accident and force them to stop.
When the sun set in the West Mountain, everyone left Chaoge City and embarked on the mountain road, during which the snow had fallen, and the wind was wrapped in frost and snow and slapped head-on, and it was fierce in the moment.
When it arrived, the weather was cold and clear, the blizzard gradually subsided, the snow was already very thick, the dark clouds dispersed in mid-air, and the bright moon showed its face, reflecting the snow in a cold, thrillingly white.
The moon is bright and clear, there is a hidden silver white, there is a mountain temple next to the road ahead, for pedestrians to rest and avoid the rain, it is repaired quite neatly, the light of the fire seeps out inside, the orange jumps, the warm winter night, people can't help but want to go in to roast the fire, rest their feet.
"I'll go in first to arrange it, Gongsun Zan brothers cooperate with the tacit understanding, and then ambush outside the temple, Zhang Miao, you follow me to cut off their back road, Wu Chen Wufu and the two of them hibernate on the roof, waiting for the opportunity to move, Meng De, Xuande and Shanhe three people will be in the temple, luring the enemy to take the bait, and carry out the first wave of fighting."
After Yuan Shao finished thinking about it, he had already made arrangements, and everyone suddenly scattered, and they each disappeared into the wind and snow.
It was a cold winter, located in the north, and the outside of the ruined temple was covered with a thick layer of snow, which would make a creaking sound when stepped on.
The cold wind was blowing, and the windows and doors rattled, Xiang Ji pushed open the door, and a little fire came into view, and there was already a person living here, curled up by the fire and fell asleep.
The three of them sighed slightly, in this case, I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of its safety after a while, Liu Bei stepped forward and reached out with one hand, hit its sleeping hole, and hid it behind the statue of the mountain god, which can be regarded as avoiding being affected.
stop
For a whole moment, they each chose a corner to rest and close their eyes.
"They're coming."
On the roof, Wu Fu and Wu Chen couldn't breathe, and even the sound of their heartbeat disappeared, and they used a special secret method, just waiting for that opportunity to come.
Hula!
The cold wind blew the bones and the snow was reckless, covering the pine forest in a white expanse, dotted with green.
Half an hour later, a few shallow footprints appeared on the soft snow, two of which were close to nothing, making people suspect that ghosts were floating by.
But Yuan Shao, who was ambushed here, knew that it was not a ghost, but a eunuch who had practiced the Sunflower Secret Book and the Qingjian Secret Scroll!
There were more people in this group than he thought, and it was likely that they had received information from the court, and there were as many as twenty people.
The first person was a thin white-haired man, his skin was tight and smooth, he couldn't see his age, his cheeks were glowing with a faint blue light, his facial features were not bad, but he was gloomy and terrifying, he was covered in a black robe, and there seemed to be anger flashing in his eyes, it was Wang Meng who knew his situation.
The other man had a stiff face, tall and strong, but like a dead corpse like rotting wood, without the slightest vitality and true qi flow on the outside, as if everything was buried in the depths, carrying an iron rod on his back and walking slowly, but leaving no footprints, it was the cool official Wang Ji.
The eighteen people around them were all silent, either eunuchs or people for the disaster elimination building, at least they were all cultivators at the level of three levels, and they didn't know where to find the armor and weapons, just like an elite team.
"Damn it, you actually chose this time to backstab me, this group of dogs, if my Wang Meng escapes this catastrophe, I will definitely kill you all."
With one foot through the snow, the cold wind rose beside Wang Meng, directly blowing open the shaky broken temple portal, revealing the fire burning inside, as well as the three young people who closed their eyes and recuperated.
A cursory glance, did not find any familiar faces and powerful aura, and when the three of them glanced at him without a beard, revealing a different color, he couldn't help laughing, and he was worried that there was no place to vent, isn't this just sent to the door?
"Clear the field, no one will be left, what grade, it is worthy of living in the same temple as our family."
didn't even bother to close the door, Wang Meng let this gust of snow wash in, disturbing everyone's rest, and even ordered to slaughter the temple, just when he was angry, Wang Meng, whose life was in danger, naturally would not have a good face, and directly vented his anger on the three people in the temple who angered him, and wanted to kill them to occupy this place exclusively.
Hearing this, Cao Cao opened his eyes, disgust rose in his heart, and said coldly, "You are going to kill people when you first arrive, and Your Excellency is too domineering." ”
"I'm not overbearing, are you domineering? If you want to blame, blame you for your bad luck, you hit the gas head, and you deserve it; The three little people who sheltered from the wind and snow in the mountains also dared to judge our family! The blue light on Wang Meng's face became thicker, and I don't know when the nails of his ten fingers had been lengthened a lot, as sharp as a dagger, flashing with cold light.
Liu Bei shook his head and directly pulled out the long sword on his waist, "Then what else is there to say, let's do it." ”
Seeing the two of them like this, the eighteen eunuchs and the killer of the Disaster Elimination Building immediately surrounded them, occupying the entire temple, and snorted coldly in a dark voice, "A few stunned young people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, do they really regard themselves as strongmen who are in the rivers and lakes?" ”
Before the words fell, I saw Xiang Ji's chest and abdomen suddenly bulging like convulsions and inhaling, and there seemed to be a muffled thunder in his throat, turning into a series of pale voices surging out, "Look for death!" ”
Bang! The sound was like a huge thunder, and there was a purple electric stirring in the air.
Click, poof, someone was shocked by the sound wave on the spot, and his whole body twitched and twitched, like being struck by lightning, and the sound of the yin measurement disappeared completely.
"You?!"
Wang Meng's expression froze, as if he felt something, but his voice paused, because Xiang Ji didn't mean to listen to him at all, and directly raised the knife qi in his hand, slashed out across several zhang of land, passed through the body of a eunuch, and in just an instant, it split in half from the middle and fell to the left and right, and a blood line came out of the snow.
The blood stains on the ground gathered, rippling between the snowdrifts, white and red.
"Be bold, do it for me!"
Suddenly, Wang Meng shouted angrily, and everyone around him suddenly came out, and when he spoke, there were already two people outside the temple stepping on the snow, running in a slight crunch, from time to time there was a knife light, accompanied by the death of a life, accompanied by the opening of a blood plum, the white snow set off more cold.
Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao had already cut off the back road to attack, and they wanted to attack in the mountain temple and kill all the people who came.
Swish!
An old eunuch with a white face and beard jumped in front of Xiang Ji, and slapped a double-peaked shelf with both hands, trying to burst Xiang Ji's eardrums.
However, Xiang Ji didn't even have a knife, and a red halberd had already condensed and formed, and the fire was faint, and it seemed to fall slowly, but the old eunuch seemed to be trapped in a whirlpool, only to feel that there were terrible flames in all directions, and he couldn't dodge it, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Xiang Ji didn't look at him, his wrist shook and changed, and the halberd was picked up, directly between his palms, like an electric snake flashing, cracking the body protection qi.
Raging!
Tongues of fire leapt into the air to illuminate the darkness, and the attacker knelt down with his hands together as if he were begging for mercy, and a deep scar appeared on his throat, and blood gushed out, staining the snow in front of him red, just like a maple leaf falling.
True Qi Creation, Wuguan Martial Master?!
"Okay, good, those scholars are really fast, you are all ambushed here to target me!" Wang Meng's expression was cold, and after discovering Xiang Ji's strength, he understood that this was a killing game, a killing game that had been prepared for a long time!
Then, Wang Ji, a cool official who had been silent, moved, and his body seemed to rise again, trying to resist the beams of the entire mountain temple.
In the humble, the whole mountain trembled, and an earthy yellow earth qi rose from the place where his feet were tread, and swirled around his arms, faintly highlighting the shadow of the mountain peak.
Just appeared, and the shadow of this peak made everyone feel a majestic and heavy terrible pressure, as if there was really a great mountain descending from the sky and crushing their bodies to pieces.
Wang Ji took a step slowly, the heavens and the earth changed, the earth shook and the house shook, and the strands of true qi condensed into black clouds and collapsed, extending to his feet, like a blooming sunflower, but it was cold and piercing, so that a layer of frost formed within ten zhang of the surroundings, and the earth qi continued to rise, making the mountains more condensed and heavy.
Everyone even faintly felt that their feet were trembling and shaking, and the earth seemed to be as strange as if it had become each other's domain.
"Sunflower Secret Dictionary and Spiritual Martial Arts, be careful, and Wang Meng's Qingjian Secret Scroll! This mountain qi is extracted, Wang Ji is the horned wood Jiao sequence, there is a favorable location here, I will deal with it! Cao Cao snorted and revealed the martial arts of the two.
One is the Yin Poison Martial Arts created from the Imperial Palace; One is the martial arts practiced by Zhao Gao in the past, which should not be underestimated; And the sequence of Wang Ji's cultivation is:
Jiaomu Jiao: In charge of the generals, soldiers, rain, Yansheng, and farmland cultivation divisions.
Introductory job introduction Mr. Kunshan.
And after all, between the lightning and flint, Wang Jina rushed to the mountain and the double of Yue
The arm has been fiercely pressed down, like a landslide!
I saw everyone's eyes bloom, and inexplicably felt that Wang Ji's right fist was unbelievably bigger, and it actually merged with the mountain shadow, turning into a real giant mountain descending from the sky, filling all the sights of everyone.
The veins with distinct bones had become cliffs on the mountain, and nothing could be seen under the hood, and the blood around the body was as stiff as if frozen, and the limbs seemed to be shackled, unable to move.
Strange Mountain!
