Chapter 216: Xu Guo is difficult for Xu Qing

Qingque Dynasty, outside the capital.

Today is the day when Gu You, the former commander of the Qingque Dynasty's Praetorian Guard, was buried.

A woman sobbed to herself, holding a child, and stood aside to watch her husband's coffin be buried.

Several adults in the court did not wear official robes and came here in plain clothes.

In addition to the officials of the Qingque Dynasty, there was also an envoy from the Zhaoshen Division of the Dahe Dynasty, Guo Maoxue also came to condole.

Because this funeral is not a funeral, it is not appropriate to be too public.

Therefore, the few people present were all close friends and relatives of the deceased, and in order to avoid people's eyes, they did not even dare to wear white clothes.

In terms of form, try to follow the arrangement of the national teacher Zhang Boyi, "to the simplest".

Strive to put aside all unnecessary regulations and keep only a few necessary links, including burial.

It is enough to mourn in your heart for the deceased.

Zhang Boyi, the national teacher of the Qingque Dynasty, personally presided over this "secret funeral".

The old national teacher clenched his hands into fists, commanded several miscellaneous servants of the national teacher's mansion, and slowly closed the coffin.

The person present, the national teacher of the Qingque Dynasty, Zhang Boyi.

The edict of the Dahe Dynasty and the envoy Guo Maoxue.

Qingque Dynasty Criminal Department Squire, Chen Yufu.

The deputy commander of the Qingque Dynasty's Praetorian Guard, Ye Shaowen, who is about to take over the position of Gu You's Praetorian Guard.

Qingque Dynasty Rite Department Shangshu, Song Shuyuan.

Gu You married his wife, Ren Haitang, Gu You's son, Gu Zhaoxue.

Except for the miscellaneous servants of the National Teacher's Mansion who were responsible for closing the coffin and carrying the coffin, only six people present were present to bid farewell to Gu You.

The former commander of the Janissary of the Qingque Dynasty, the poisoning of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Ying Xiao, has now spread all over the Qingque capital, and I believe that it will soon spread throughout the entire Qingque Dynasty, and then throughout the entire Sangro Prefecture, and then it will spread to the world.

As the commander of the palace guards, he did not perform his duties, but poisoned His Royal Highness the crown prince, who was about to become the king of a country, on top of the crown prince Yingxiao's enthronement ceremony.

Despised by the world, it is destined to bear the infamy of the ages and leave a stench for thousands of years.

The prestige of the original Gu Mansion will also plummet, and these reputations accumulated over decades have also been pushed to the forefront of the entire Gu Mansion overnight because of the "crime of killing the king".

At night, many people in the capital sneaked outside the gate of Gufu and threw eggs and vegetables inside.

posted some messy "ghost drawings" at the door of the Gu Mansion, and wrote down the eighteenth generation of people's ancestors on paper and scolded them all over again.

Such people abound.

The problem is that there may be some indignant patriots among them.

However, among them, there were also officials who had a holiday with Gu You, the commander of the palace guards, who happened to take advantage of the fire to rob and spit on the door of the Gu Mansion, which had been spurned by tens of thousands of people.

It didn't help, but when they did, they were happy.

In any case, Gu You is dead, and the subordinates who stayed in the mansion chose to leave the Gu Mansion overnight because they couldn't bear the pressure of Qianfu and the accusations of relatives and friends.

As a result, Gu You died only three days ago, and a general's mansion was empty, leaving only the old grandmother who had served the family for decades, unwilling to leave, and willing to share glory and disgrace with Gu You's wife and children.

The old national teacher raised his hand slightly, and the subordinates nodded knowingly, and began to close the coffin.

"Wait. ”

Gu You married his wife, Ren Haitang stopped sobbing, actually let go of the hand holding the child, walked quickly to the coffin of her husband, put her hands on the coffin, looked at the person in the coffin, and felt grief in her heart.

"How is that possible······

In order not to worry the child, the woman did not want to show tears in her eyes, so she endured her grief and sobbed secretly.

At this moment, I saw that my husband, who had been in the same bed for decades, was about to be buried, and it was difficult to see each other again in this life.

Under the great compassion, Ren Haitang finally found it difficult to forcibly hold back her sadness, and tears appeared in her eyes.

Just like the river bursting its banks, it has been out of control ever since.

In the blink of an eye, a woman burst into tears.

"Sister-in-law, mourning. ”

Chen Yufu, the servant of the Criminal Department of the Qingque Dynasty, walked behind Ren Haitang, raised his hand slightly, and wanted to pat her shoulder, but he felt that it was not polite, so he immediately retracted his hand, and only comforted her.

The group of subordinates in the National Teacher's Mansion were interrupted, and they all looked at Zhang Boyi, and the old national teacher waved his hand at them, shook his head slightly, and signaled them not to disturb Ren Haitang to bid farewell to Gu You.

After all, after this farewell, it is difficult to see each other again.

It's human nature to want to take a closer look.

Chen Yufu also looked towards the center of the coffin.

The man in the coffin, whose bones were not cold, jumped from the head of Ziyang City, his eyes were clearly open, but when he landed, he had already closed his eyes.

I think it was because before Gu You died, he wanted to take a look at the Vermilion Bird Street again, and then take a look at this Qingque capital.

Maybe he still wants to go home and see his wife and children again. But for some reason, it didn't.

Maybe I'm afraid that if I look at it more, I will be more sad.

"Brother Gu······ Let's go. ”

Chen Yufu couldn't bear to look at it anymore and turned around first.

People who know the ins and outs of the matter, there are only two people in the entire Qingque Dynasty.

One is him, the squire of the criminal department, and the other is the old national teacher Zhang Boyi.

Gu You was charged with such a crime, and he was only willing to tell himself and the National Teacher. He said that no one else in the DPRK and China could be trusted. It is also said that there are spies sent by Yongle in the court.

Chen Yufu watched his friends for many years jump from the city, but he couldn't stop him, and the feeling of powerlessness was even more painful than when he came to the capital to take the exam when he was hungry and cold.

Two fellow villagers, when he first arrived, Gu You said that he couldn't study, couldn't walk the literary road, and could only take the martial arts road.

Chen Yufu said with a smile at the time, the martial arts road is easy to walk, the swords and guns are all dangers that the eyes can see, which is like Wenlu, the sword of the tongue, the honey sword, are all invisible dangers.

Two hungry and despondent young people from the same township meet to meet at a higher place.

After many years, one entered the palace from the battlefield and became the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

The other is a battalion step by step, walking on thin ice in the officialdom, and now he has become a waiter in the criminal department, and the criminal department lang of the current dynasty is very old, and he will sit in that position for three or five years at most, and Chen Yufu has been secretly trained as a successor. The position of Lang Zhong in the Criminal Department is about to arrive.

The that they blew back then is about to be witnessed and realized together.

But Chen Yufu didn't have time to share the joy of success with his old friend, so he first heard such a shocking secret from his old friend.

He didn't even say anything about the old man of the Criminal Department, he chose to tell himself as soon as possible, and under his own witness, he drew a hand in the Criminal Department, confessed his guilt, and handed in his own criminal evidence.

What a complete Gu Da commander.

At that time, above the city, Chen Yufu thought about holding Gu You, and he did so.

But the quarrel eventually calmed down.

After calming down, make a choice, and it seems that everything is clear again.

Do you want Qingque to start a war with Yongle, or do you want Gu You to die alone and end this farce.

It seems that any court official who stands on the position of his family and country will not hesitate to choose the latter.

Chen Yufu hesitated, because of the many years of friendship between the two, but he finally made the same choice as Gu You and chose the latter.

At this moment, standing in front of the coffin of his old friend, this no longer young servant of the Criminal Department gathered a thousand words into one sentence, and there was nothing else.

Zhang Boyi glanced at Ren Haitang, who refused to retreat, and stepped forward helplessly, saying: "The deceased is like Sifu, the deceased has gone, and I also ask Mrs. Ren to mourn and cherish it, after all, Zhaoxue is still waiting for Mrs. ”

After speaking, the old national teacher was stunned and turned his head to look at the child.

Gu Zhaoxue's name······

The child stood in the distance, never near the coffin, staring at the coffin with a pair of eyes, not knowing what to think.

"National teacher, the auspicious time has come. Guo Maoxue, who is familiar with astronomy, kindly reminded.

This was said to the lady, and Ren Haitang listened to it.

The woman wiped away her tears, nodded slightly, and took a few steps back. The people closed the coffin.

Accompanied by the old national teacher's sentence "Lift the coffin and enter the soil for peace!"

Everyone bowed their heads and mourned in silence for the deceased.

In this way, the life of a palace guard commander ended like this, buried under the loess, and a monument was erected in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city.

At the end of the funeral, everyone comforted Ren Haitang in turn, and left one after another.

In the end, only Chen Yufu, the waiter of the Criminal Department, remained.

Chen Yufu walked up to Ren Haitang and Gu Zhaoxue, and took out a letter from his sleeve.

It was a letter from Gu You who stood at the head of Ziyang City and handed it to him before his death, asking him to hand it over to his wife and children.

Originally, Chen Yufu planned to transfer to Ren Haitang that night.

But when he went to the National Teacher's Mansion and saw the expression of the national teacher who was in tears after reading the letter, he felt that if he handed it over to his sister-in-law Ren Haitang that night, I am afraid that the woman would be sad twice.

Therefore, this gentle waiter of the criminal department chose to be buried on the day of Gu You's burial, and then handed over the letter to his sister-in-law Ren Haitang.

He thought about it like this, watching his husband leave, he would inevitably cry sadly, and when he read the family letter at this moment, he would have a trace of comfort in his heart.

Ren Haitang took the letter, and his hands began to tremble.

Chen Yufu said softly: "Sister-in-law, this is the letter that Brother Gu asked me to pass on to you." Please forgive the Jade Talisman for arguing and waiting until today to hand it over to you. ”

The woman did not speak, nor did she glance at Chen Yufu, but looked down at the letter.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yufu finally squatted down, gently touched the child's head, and said: "Zhaoxue, you will be a man in the future, you have to grow up quickly to protect your mother, you know?"

Gu Zhaoxue asked, "Where's Daddy?"

Chen Yufu did not bring grief to the child like a woman, but said with a bright smile: "Your father, you have gone to a far place. However, there is a letter in that place, and he says that he will send a letter back every month, asking me to pass it on to you. ”

In order to convince the child, the criminal servant told half a lie.

The little boy nodded lightly and laughed.

Chen Yufu got up slowly, bowed slightly to the woman and said, "Sister-in-law, if you need it in the future, you can say a word at any time." ”

With that, Chen Yufu left slowly.

Ren Haitang opened the letter.

is different from the letter delivered to the national teacher Zhang Boyi, which is full of dense things, full of entrustment, and the letter is full of righteous words and worthy of heart.

The letter in the woman's hand had only a line of small print and a name in the corner.

There are only a few strokes, but they are full of shame and shame and dare not face it.

Maybe this is the reason why Gu You committed suicide in front of the city and didn't dare to go home to see his wife and children again.

He is worthy of Qingque, but he is ashamed of his wife and children.

The letter was on a line of wild grass.

"Madam, it's not good for me to affect you and Zhaoxue. ”

A person who has always written Xiaokai, for the first time in his life, wrote wild grass, and wanted his wife who saw this line of wild grass to think that he was walking quite freely.

has promised the country, and it is difficult to promise Qing.

————

Before Zhang Boyi left, he sprinkled an altar of heroic courage in front of Gu You's tombstone, and said softly, "Heroes are brave to heroes."

Before Guo Maoxue left, he secretly stuffed a note into Gu Zhaoxue's small palm, which read, "Your father is innocent."

After Chen Yufu returned home, he began to write the first letter, the so-called "letter sent by Gu You to the child from afar", in Gu You's tone, and planned to fulfill his oath as promised, once a month in the future.

Linglong City.

The man covered his face with a thin veil returns to the city and plays against a friend.

The friend asked, "You have carefully arranged a delicate chess game for more than ten years, but it turned out to be broken by a Praetorian Guard commander with the death of one person, is there really no pity in your heart?"

The man smiled and dropped a white grain, and wrote lightly: "Who said that Gu You broke my game?"

The friend then smiled: "Do you want a dead duck with a hard mouth?" You intend to use Liu Wenchu's abandoned son to break into the Qingque Dynasty, poison the crown prince Yingxiao on the throne ceremony, and deliberately leave evidence and clues.

In order for the Qingque Dynasty to arrest Liu Wenchu, it is best to be able to interrogate him strictly, and this matter will be worshiped by a qi refiner who secretly followed Liu Wenchu to the Qingque Dynasty, and recorded it on the blank picture scroll with his unique view of mountains and rivers.

Afterwards, Liu Wenchu was arrested and imprisoned for poisoning the prince Yingxiao, and after the autumn, there was a voice in the temples and people of the Qingque Dynasty, and this voice declared the naked four words 'crusade against Yongle'.

On the temple, a few adults buried in Qingque in advance fanned the flames, and the people were because Liu Wenchu dared to poison the crown prince Yingxiao at the enthronement ceremony, if things really developed to such a point.

Even His Majesty the Emperor, who came to the Yongle Dynasty to take the principle of 'peaceful coexistence' as the principle, had to consider the advice of the rest of the officials above the temple, and wanted to seize the last pure land in Sangro Prefecture, Jieshi Mountain, and then take down the Longgong Cave Heaven hidden in Jieshi Mountain.

In this way, it occupies the Dragon Palace Great Cave Heaven, one of the 36 Taoist Cave Heavens, 72 Blessed Lands, and 10 Cave Heavens. When things come to this point, you can lead Linglong City to join the Yongle Dynasty, become the first worshipper of the Yongle Dynasty, and take people to enter the Dragon Palace Dadongtian first, and seize the magic weapon of opportunity.

This may not be correct enough, what you need is not only the treasure of the Dragon Palace Cave Heaven, maybe you have taken a long-term view and set your sights on the 'undersea dragon vein', then, as the lord of a city, it is not enough for you, do you plan to establish the eleventh 'Great Dynasty' in the world and become the master of a dynasty.

It's a pity that Gu You's death is a variable that you are far from expecting. When he was alone with the accusations and infamy, it was not good for the officials of the Yongle court to take the opportunity to give advice to the Yongle Tianzi who liked peaceful coexistence. Not to mention that the Qingque National Master invited the Confucian sage to deliver a letter to the Fusang Dynasty.

Xu Shengren has a few proud students, in a high position above the Fusang court, as far as I know, among the six departments, Xu Chang's students account for as many as three, Lang Zhong, Shi Lang, Taifu, not to mention that he also has a student who is better than the blue, Guo Maoxue, and now he is the edict of the Dahe Dynasty. In addition to mastering the power above the temples of the Dahe Dynasty, this person also has the incense of many gods and goddesses, and the blessing of this person can even be compared with the prince of a dynasty.

It's just that the others are still in Qingque Capital, and the specific thoughts are unknown, and the Dahe Dynasty will not mention it for the time being. It is only said that Xu Chang and several other students in high positions in the Fusang temple, after receiving the letter, tried every means to persuade the Fusang Dynasty to form an alliance with the Qingque Dynasty.

Even if it was just a verbal covenant, Yongle would not be able to move the Qingque Dynasty again. Naturally, your plans will fall through. ”

In the midst of this friend's endless talk and boastful talk, the owner of Linglong City has not been in a hurry, but has always smiled, and still seems to be confident.

When the friend finished speaking, the city lord of Linglong City smiled and said, "Very wonderful calculation, the Taoist chief is worthy of being from a famous Taoist family in Longhu Mountain. Dao Chief's ability to spy on the number of days, I'm afraid that even that Zhang Tianshi will have to stand back, right?"

The man wore a hibiscus crown on his head, stepped on the clouds, and did not carry the dust whisk on his body, but carried a fairy sword on his back.

It is the only Taoist origin among the ten immortal sword masters in the world.

If you talk about the generation in this life, this person is still ranked after the world-beating Zhang Tianshi, so in the face of the killing of the city lord of Linglong City, the Taoist master laughed at it.

He smiled and said: "What Zhang Tianshi is good at is killing demons, not deducing divination, but the poor way is to practice the 'three styles' since childhood, and the two of us cannot be compared." ”

This person is a pun, in any sense, he can't be compared with that Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain.

And the so-called "three styles" he mentioned, respectively, are Liuren, Taiyi, Dunjia, each of which is difficult to practice, the world cultivates these three magical powers, will not be able to escape the numerology of the five disadvantages and three deficiencies.

After all, extrapolating the past and the future is like spying on the heavens.

The number of days is mysterious, how can the world be allowed to snoop?

Nature is punished by the world.

Only those who have truly attained the Dao, with the permission of the Heavenly Dao, can justifiably spy on the number of days and do not have to be punished by Heaven.

The person in front of him who was playing against the city lord of Linglong City was one of them.

This person's name is Fu Shen, the master of the fairy sword and pure jun.

The master of Linglong City, named Sima Junchu, slowly got up at this moment and said, "What Fu Dao Chang said is actually not wrong. ”

The young Taoist listened.

Sima Junchu continued: "But all the fates deduced by Daoist Fu are the fatalities before Gu You changed this matter. I wonder if anyone has told the aisle chief that such a thing as fate can be artificially changed?"

Fu Shen suddenly looked down at the chessboard, and then said: "I see, Sima City Lord has taught Poor Dao a lesson. ”

That Linglong City City Lord just didn't want to see Yongle start a war against Qingque, but wanted to see Gu You bear the charge and infamy on his own, but Xu Changfei sent a message to the students, making the Fusang Dynasty and the Qingque Dynasty form an alliance.

This is what Sima Junchu intends to see.

And Fu Shen was taught a lesson by this person, aiming to change the number of days, change fate, and take fate into his own hands.

This lesson is called "Man Makes Things," or it could be called "Man Conquers Heaven."

Linghu Cave Heaven.

After Li Zijin, Huo Ruhui, and Gong Zixuan repaired for three days, they planned to leave the border between the Eternal Day World and the Eternal Night World and re-explore the Eternal Day World.

Previously, Li Zijin planned to venture to the Eternal Night World, but it was not clear whether there was an immortal Zhi on this side of the Eternal Night World.

And when Gong Ziqian helped the young man find a fairy mushroom, Li Zijin naturally dispelled the idea of taking a risk.

As early as three days ago, he smashed the immortal herb and swallowed it according to what he said on the Baopuzi immortal medicine roll, and the taste was not as good as the fairy grass that Gong Ziqian ate.

But when the boy took a Xianzhi plant, he didn't mention that the aura in the sea quickly filled up at what can be called an exaggerated speed.

also let the young man's martial arts realm directly improve from the refining body to the muscles and bones realm, and the second-realm martial arts were transformed into three-realm martial artists.

It's just that the strength of the middle stage of the Peiyuan Realm has not improved, just like this immortal mushroom, the improvement of the mortal physique is far greater than the improvement of the cultivation path.

Li Zijin thought about it, but quickly figured out the reason. After all, he came to the idea of Xianzhi to prolong his life.

If you want to prolong your life, you must first start with your own body.

It's impossible to eat a single Xianzhi to make the Qi Refiner Realm go straight from the Peiyuan Realm to the Jindan Realm, right?

All the mountain qi refiners in the whole world don't have to practice any exercises. Those mountain immortal sects only need to bury their heads in search of the blessed land of the cave and find the immortal mushroom to eat.

This kind of thing naturally doesn't happen.

The three of them walked beside a mountain stream in Linghu Cave, and Gong Ziqian said, "Brother Li has a sense of longevity?"

The young man in the black and red brocade robe shook his head and smiled: "Your Royal Highness, shouldn't you be able to look through the book of life and death? ”

His Royal Highness, the prince of the Fusang Dynasty, said dumbly: "Then what kind of immortal medicine roll is it, is it reliable or not, in case Brother Li eats Xianzhi, instead of prolonging his life, he also hurts his own muscles and bones, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?"

Li Zijin waved his hand, "That's not going to happen, I think the immortal medicine roll is basically right, because in the lower qi double refining, after taking that Xianzhi, the martial arts realm has broken through from the second realm to the third realm, and there is no discomfort in the body, you can see that the immortal mushroom does have a miraculous effect." ”

Huo Ruhui's eyes lit up, "Oh?" and hurriedly asked: "That Xianzhi is really so magical, people can increase their cultivation to the realm by eating one plant, so if Wufu eats a few more plants, won't it climb steadily?"

Li Zijin looked at this horizontal knife ghost with the eyes of a fool, and felt that the other party didn't think about it first······

He explained: "How is this possible? The immortal medicine scroll clearly states that although the immortal medicine is good, the carrying capacity of the human body for the immortal medicine is extremely limited. The immortal medicine scroll mentions that 'the first time you take it within 10 years', and 'the combination of the sekia mushroom, only the first time it is effective within 10 years', which means that no matter how many senzhi you have and how many types of senzhi you have, it will only be useful when you take it for the first time.

If you want Xianzhi to take effect, you will have to wait until ten years later. However, the real problem is that after Xianzhi leaves the environment where it grows, let alone ten years, it won't even survive for three days. And even if you make a mark in the place where Xianzhi grows, how can you guarantee that you will come back after ten years, and no one will take Xianzhi away during this period?"

Huo Ruhui listened to the explanation and felt that there was some truth, so he stopped thinking nonsense.

Gong Ziqian smiled and proposed: "Mr. Huo, Brother Li, it's getting late today, why don't we 'set up camp' by this stream, you can catch a few fish from the stream and grill them to eat, and walking along the stream, it's usually not easy to get lost." ”

Huo Ruhui nodded and said, "It's all up to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Gong Ziqian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mr. Huo is really ······"

One mouthful, His Royal Highness, how can he listen to it so unpleasantly in his heart?

It's like swearing. Huo Ruhui didn't know that his palace liked to be called his son, not the son.

Li Zijin nodded and said, "Yes, anyway, I'm used to eating and drinking in Xia, and I haven't lived anywhere." ”

Gong Ziqian asked with interest: "Oh, it seems that Brother Li also has an unknown sad past?"

The young swordsman dressed in brocade did not answer this question, but smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince said 'also'?"

His Royal Highness, the prince of the Fusang Dynasty, laughed, and casually took out a small wine table with exquisite workmanship from the "inside the Qiankun" of the Twenty-fourth Bridge Bright Moon Flute, and there were three gold bottles on the table, one of which was used by the young man to pound medicine for him before.

"Come on, Mr. Huo, Brother Li, before we go down to the river to catch fish, let's have a drink together!" Gong Ziqian smiled and poured wine for the two, "Can you not give Ziqian face?"

Huo Ruhui just wanted to refuse, but when he heard the words of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, he swallowed the sentence "No need, Huo doesn't like to drink" back into his stomach.

At this moment, the young man took the gold bottle, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and suddenly asked on a whim: "His Royal Highness, dare to ask the territory of the Fusang Dynasty, can you buy Jiannan Burning Spring?"

Gong Ziqian frowned slightly, lowered his head, thoughtfully, and muttered in his mouth, "Jiannan Burning Spring... Jiannan burns spring ······"

After thinking about it for a while, Gong Ziqian shook his head and said, "It sounds familiar, but I don't know where I've heard it." There is no such wine in the palace, but Brother Li, don't worry, since you have asked, go back and wait for us to leave Linghu Cave, I will go back to Beijing and inquire for you. ”

Huo Ruhui also lowered his head and pondered, although he had never drunk this kind of wine in Jiannan, he seemed to have heard it from a guest.

The guest seems to be from Canggeng Prefecture. However, since the prince had already said that he would help the young swordsman inquire, the horizontal sword ghost did not take the matter on himself in one fell swoop.

When a few people were talking about wine, Gong Ziqian said: "When I find the Twenty-four Bridge Bright Moon Xiao, we can leave the Linghu Cave." ”

Li Zijin nodded and said: "The two of you can stay here as long as you want, inherit the love of the prince, let me take a plant of Xianzhi under the order, and when I look for your flute, it is incumbent on you to make up your mind." ”

Huo Ruhui said: "Huo Mou didn't have anything to want, so he found the immortal soldiers for His Royal Highness the Prince and left here." ”

Gong Ziqian took a sip of wine, and said with a smile that the two of them are too boring, one is more serious than the other, this Linghu Cave Heaven is so full of spiritual energy, don't you know how to use it, practice and practice?

And Mr. Huo too, he has to help Ben Gongzi find the treasure one bite at a time, so he doesn't know that on the way to help Ben Gongzi find the baby, "by the way" to find the treasure for himself?

After drinking a little wine, let Gong Ziqian teach a young swordsman and a swordsman a martial artist a lesson.

In the end, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was drunk like mud, and helped Huo Ruhui to the bottom of the tree to a crooked place, fell asleep, and began to snore like thunder.

However, Gong Ziqian likes to call this "informal." ”

If you want to achieve great things, you don't have to be informal. His Royal Highness always said so.

Huo Ruhui stayed beside Gong Zixuan, set up a bonfire, stretched out his hands, and slowly roasted the fire to keep warm.

He glanced at the young swordsman, who was rolling up his sleeves and trousers and stepping into the stream, holding a fishing rod made of sharpened bamboo tails in his hand. Huo Ruhui couldn't help but feel funny, it was clear that he didn't need a good weapon, but he had to spend time making a fishing rod with bamboo, what a stupid boy.

The verdant Cuiqu sword was left on the shore by the young man, silent.

There is also a sword, and the young man has not pulled it out of its sheath, but Huo Ruhui recognized it, it was a literary sword, just because there was a golden sword spike hanging on the hilt.

Wen Jian Cangjie.

In his distraction, the young swordsman, who was neat and nimble, had already grabbed three fish from the stream.

Li Zijin smiled and threw the three fish that kept swinging their tails ashore and said, "One for each person." ”

After dinner, although there was no night in the Eternal Day World, Li Zijin still rested for a while at Huo Ruhui's strong request.

Naturally, it was not that he was suddenly inexplicably concerned about the young man, but that Huo Ruhui was afraid that the young man would not rest well, so he just dragged his feet when he helped His Royal Highness the Prince find the Twenty-Four Bridge Mingyue Xiao.

This is also a rare time for a teenager who does not have to keep a vigil by himself.

It's not easy.

A few days passed, and the three of them went down the stream.

Just in response to the first arrival, Gong Ziqian said, "Maybe the baby is not at the top of the mountain, but at the bottom of the valley." ”

After careful calculation, seven days have passed since Li Zijin, Huo Ruhui, and Gong Ziqian entered the Linghu Cave.

On the way on this day, Li Zijin asked curiously: "Your Royal Highness, why are you so obsessed with walking down the mountain stream?

The horizontal knife ghost is sad and obscure, and he also has this question, but he doesn't talk much and never asks.

Gong Zixuan stroked the twenty-four bridge Mingyue flute on his waist, and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell the two of you before, Zixuan deduced that the immortal flute is not only in the Linghu Cave Heaven, but also has a clue, 'near the small water', I privately think that the big water is the big river, the small water, maybe it is this mountain stream." ”

The two of them suddenly realized, no wonder Gong Ziqian wanted to take the two of them all the way down the mountain stream.

It's just that it looks like this stream is coming to an end, how can it ······

Just when Li Zijin had this doubt.

The three of them saw the end of the "little water".

There are a total of twenty-four bridges at the end, and each bridge has an aura barrier blocking the way.

And over there, there was a black-armored giant with a silver halberd, standing at the end of the stream, with his back to the three of them.

At his feet, there was a deep pool, and in the center of the pond there was a shining thing, suspended and spinning in the air.

It was a flute.

"Twenty-four Bridges and Bright Moon Xiao!

"The Ghost Will ......"

The former sentence was said by His Royal Highness the Prince of the Fusang Dynasty, and the latter sentence was said by the ghost of the horizontal knife who was good at slashing the ghosts and ghosts.

The same light shone in the eyes of the two, and it was a look of eagerness.

Li Zijin narrowed his eyes and looked up at the tall black-armored ghost general, I'm afraid the other party must be ten zhang tall, right?

It's just that right now, it looks like the ghost is sleeping?

Gong Ziqian was pleasantly surprised: "That's the immortal soldier I'm looking for, the Twenty-Four Bridge Mingyue Xiao!"

Li Zijin said in a deep voice: "It seems that if the treasures in the world are hidden, there must be spirit beasts or organs to protect the treasures. The twenty-four bridges, I'm afraid it's not easy, you two should be careful. ”

Gong Ziqian nodded and said, "Mr. Huo, Brother Li, the two of you do what you can, just let me attack." ”

Gong Ziyao's injuries in the palm had already recovered, and now he was in a full state and resurrected, and he put on the half-immortal robe that Cao Wang brought back before.

The horizontal knife ghost was expressionless when he saw it, but he instantly pulled the knife out of its sheath, the horizontal knife was on the side, and dropped a sentence "The ghost will come to me." And he vanished in his place.

Huo Ruhui exerted force under his feet, rose from the ground, and the whole person was like an arrow, shooting out.

The twenty-four bridges each shot out a wave of aura towards Huo Ruhui who was floating in the air, not as powerful as the sword qi, but the speed was far superior to the sword qi, as if the twenty-four immortal ropes that had no substance suddenly flew out and went to the side of the horizontal sword ghost.

Seeing this scene, Gong Ziqian took off the twenty-four bridge bright moon flute on his waist, put it next to his mouth, and played a tune.

The meandering water flowed, like a melodious turn, and several colored lights flew out from the mouth of the jade flute cave, going to Huo Ruhui's side, and meeting with the twenty-four "bundle immortal rope brilliance" in mid-air.

Huo Ruhui seized the opportunity, suddenly accelerated, got out of control, and fell straight towards the black-armored ghost general who was more than ten feet tall.

The sleeping ghost will be awakened by the movement that has taken place.

It turned its head, its eyes dark, but where it was stared at by its dark eyes, the ground burned with black flames, and it was alive and again.

"Get out of the way!" Li Zijin pounced, and threw Gong Zixuan, who was still playing the jade flute, to the ground, avoiding the ghost general's "death gaze".

The next moment, where the two of them were standing, a black flame symbolizing death appeared.

In the firelight, everything burns out.

Gong Ziqian never expected that the patron saint of the Twenty-Four Bridges Mingyue Xiao would be such a ghost general who could not look at him.

What are those pitch-black eyes, those black flames?

They don't know it.

Huo Ruhui in the distance, when the ghost general turned his head and opened his eyes, he slashed with sword light and slashed with sword qi.

Make the sword like a sword, the only one in the world.

The snow-white sword qi slashed out by the narrow knife called "Soul Suppression" forcibly blocked the black flame that appeared out of thin air and should have burned on Huo Ruhui's body.

The collision of black and white, the game of yin and yang, they rub against each other, merge with each other, and burst out with an invisible force between heaven and earth.

The earth began to tremble, and a loud bang was born in the sky, booming like thunder, and it shook people's hearts.

After casting a few black flames, the ghost general's black eyes returned to normal, and he no longer possessed this terrifying ability to destroy the world.

Huo Ruhui volleyed downward, and slashed the head of the ghost general with a horizontal knife.

This style swallows mountains and rivers and pulls out the world.

The martial artists of the Seven Realms descended from the sky, like a god general of the heavenly court, raised their swords and entered the world, their bodies were covered with a layer of transparent martial arts true qi, and golden brilliance appeared on the blade of the narrow knife to calm the soul.

Like the Milky Way on the horizon, a falling star falls straight to the ground, pulling out a golden rainbow in the air.

The ghost general raised the halberd in his hand, held the halberd high with both hands, and resisted Huo Ruhui's earth-shattering slash.

The narrow knife slashed at the long halberd of the black-armored ghost general, leaving a crack about three inches long, although the power was great, it had been unloaded by the ghost general's ghost qi.

The blow missed, and the horizontal knife ghost saw that it landed on the long halberd of the black-armored ghost general, raised a kick, and then stepped on it suddenly.

A ten-zhang tall black-armored ghost general, his body suddenly sank by three points!

The ghost will open its mouth, and a roar of rage will resound through the sky.

Even Li Zijin and Gong Ziqiu, who were far away from the twenty-four bridges, covered their ears in shock by this ghost general's roar and couldn't move.

However, the martial artist standing on the long halberd was like a god of war descending into the world, and his body was motionless and as steady as a mountain.

Not only that, after the black-armored ghost general roared, the martial artist also opened his mouth, leaned forward with his whole body, and luckily used a strong martial artist's true qi to perform a legendary exercise called "Lion's Roar".

The sound is like a bell, overshadowing the "thunder", and it is extremely loud.

A lion's roar shook the earth and the mountains and rivers trembled, the water of the deep pool stirred up a thousand waves, and the ground on both sides of the bank was shaken by the roar of the ghost general and the martial artist of the Seven Realms.

Within a radius of ten miles, birds and beasts are scattered, and the spirit retreats.

When Huo Ruhui's roar completely gained the upper hand, the black-armored ghost general was stunned for a moment by this horizontal knife ghost.

In this short moment, Huo Ruhui raised his narrow knife, jumped high in height, and roared angrily, "Suppress the soul!"

I use the soul suppression knife to suppress the soul of the world.

The narrow knife slashed at the shoulder of the ghost general, directly cutting its black armor, and the ghost general reached out and pinched it, trying to pinch the "flea".

Huo Ruyan didn't dodge or dodge, and stretched out a fist straight towards the ghost general.

The fist of the ghost general, as big as the trunk of an ancient tree, collides with the fist of the martial artist as small as a sparrow.

When the two fists were handed over, with the deep pool under the feet of a person and a ghost as the center of the circle, an aftershock emitted after the collision of martial arts true qi and ghost qi began to spread to the surrounding radius of ten miles.

The rift in the earth deepened and sank, so much so that Li Zijin and Gong Ziqian wanted to cut through the aura barrier of the first bridge of the twenty-four bridges with one sword, and hid on the arch bridge that was empty and would not fall, and watched the battle from afar.

In the center of the deep pool, the soul of Wufu Town.
