Volume 2 The Rivers and Lakes in the Temple and Outside the Temple Chapter 177 Disaster and Belonging
Calamity and belonging
The lake returned to calm. Vertices
The land by the lake was rolling, and some remnants of armor were lying quietly on the ground.
The lake, which used to be the occasional crane skimming, is now a haven for vultures.
Now that summer had arrived, the remnants of the carcasses soon emitted a foul stench, attracting the foraging birds.
The blue water of the lake is now a little muddy, and the green meadows around the lake are now barren.
These giant birds had thought that this would be a paradise, with plenty of corpses and water.
But they were clearly wrong, and they swooped down from the air with their long, pointed beaks, pecking at what little flesh was left. The corpse quickly turned to bones, and the giant birds drank from the lake and flew away.
The battle by the lake has ended, and He Yuan's body has been taken away, but Liang Dao's body has not been collected.
As a worship of the Holy Dynasty, but he also helped the foreign tribes of the southern tribe to do things, injured Xu Chang'an, coerced the Han brothers The most important thing is that he also killed his brother who lived and died with him for more than ten years, such a person, it would be good if he didn't break his body into ten thousand pieces, how could he still help him bury the corpse?
Liang Dao didn't expect that Nan Gongzi, who he had been working hard for, didn't even look at him when he left, and let his body be there.
Soon, the stench of his corpse attracted the strange birds that ate carrion.
Xu Chang'an, Jiang Ming and Guo Fen returned to Yuezhou City with the army, and at the same time, the two worshippers also carried Hao Gonggong, who was beaten by Han Shitao to an inhuman shape, and followed behind.
They could only follow behind the three marshals and return to Chang'an to report on their work.
They didn't dare to go back first, after all, this encirclement and suppression was caused by Hao Lianying and Liang Dao into a civil war, and they didn't even see this underwater tomb, let alone help take some Nine Dragon Talismans.
The Nine Dragons Fu saw it, but it was in someone else's hands.
They were worried, and they didn't know how to go back and explain to the Holy Emperor, so they could only wait for the three marshals.
Xu Changan and Ge Zhouyi were directly sent back to the temporary mansion of Chuijiang by Jiang Ming, and Yuezhou City was directly left to Zhao Jin to guard, as for Guo Fen, he was also very sensible, he also knew that this Yuezhou City was Xu Chang'an who was the first to break the city, anyway, the three of them had already completed the expedition to Yue, and with the credit, they didn't want to fight for something, so they returned to Qiwu with their soldiers, and Jiang Ming's soldiers also returned to Nanfeng.
The two of them went back, but Shen Lang was too busy.
All three wounded needed his care.
One is Xu Chang'an, who almost became his future brother-in-law, the other is the young Taoist priest, and the other is Xue Pan, who lost his left eye.
Every day, he personally brought food to the three of them, brought tea and water, and instructed his subordinates to buy the medicine they needed.
Especially Xue Pan, because of the previous snake disaster, Liu Chenglang ordered to buy back most of the herbs.
After a few herbs, yellow pus and blood had begun to appear on Xue Pan's left eye, and the whole person was groggy and feverish.
Just when Shen Lang was busy, Li Daoyi also came back with Xiaobai.
Of the three, Ge Zhouyi seemed to be the least injured. He and Xu Changan are now able to sit on chairs and drink porridge and look at the scenery in the courtyard.
Li Daoyi frowned and walked in, Shen Lang saw Li Daoyi, greeted him affectionately, and then left the two to him, while he was busy taking care of Xue Pan.
Ge Zhouyi looked at Li Daoyi and stared at him deadly.
Li Daoyi didn't seem to see it, Xiaobai saw Xu Changan, and immediately ran to his side and lay down obediently.
"Where have you been?" Ge Zhouyi asked lightly.
Li Daoyi sat down next to Xiaobai and sat next to Xu Changan.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Changan seriously.
He had never been so serious, and he looked at Xu Changan.
"Say what you want to say!" Xu Changan saw Li Daoyi with this appearance, and knew that he had something to say.
Li Daoyi took a deep breath and said, "You want to go back to Chang'an in three days?"
Xu Changan nodded, this was agreed between him and Jiang Ming, and after three days, he would return to Chang'an.
"Can you not go?" Li Daoyi suddenly asked.
Xu Changan was a little strange, although he said that he didn't get the Nine Dragon Talisman this time, but the three of them captured Yuezhou City, which is also a great achievement, how can it be that in Li Daoyi's opinion, Chang'an will become a Longtan tiger's den?
"Why?" he stared at Li Daoyi.
Li Daoyi sighed and said: "I and it have actually been behind you all the time, our vein is good at divination, although it is said that you will be subjected to a huge backlash, but I can also vaguely calculate some things about you through the people around you." ”
When Ge Zhouyi heard him say this, he also became serious and pricked up his ears.
He knew the ability of the group of Taoist priests next door to them, and they recognized it as the second, and no one dared to say that they were the first.
"You're going to have a great catastrophe lately, I thought it would happen by the lake, but on the way back, I counted you through it. Li Daoyi pointed to Xiaobai beside him, Xiaobai yawned, this little Taoist's words, it doesn't believe it, except for gambling on pai gow.
As soon as Li Dao spoke, he coughed, and he immediately took out a piece of white Jinpa to cover his mouth, and then crumpled the Jinpa into a ball and threw it at his feet.
Looking at Xu Changan's appearance, Li Daoyi was a little anxious.
"You don't believe me?"
Xu Changan shook his head.
"Then don't go. ”
Xu Changan shook his head again.
"Since it's a catastrophe, then you can't hide it, you can only save it, even if it's a catastrophe in the world, I, Xu Changan, will never back down!"
Li Daoyi looked at him, shook his head, a little low, he stood up, and could only say: "Whatever you want, if you can come out of Chang'an, I will accompany you, so that you have a better chance of surviving this catastrophe." ”
After finishing speaking, he touched Xiaobai and left.
......
Lined with trees, it is a tree-lined avenue.
In addition to Dugu Idiot and the original tower-like men around Zhannan, there were only a few seriously injured grandmasters left.
The wind rustled the leaves, and they stopped.
Dugu Idiot jumped up the tree and leaned forward.
After a while, the half-step Grand Master returned.
"There's a group of cavalry ahead, heavily armoured!"
Zhan Nan's brow furrowed.
"Tell me, I'll escort you over, and we'll settle the bill, and we don't owe each other anything from now on. Dugu said with a big grin.
Zhan Nan smiled.
"What Dugu's predecessors said, it has always been owed to you by the juniors, and the seniors have never owed me anything. ”
Dugu snorted coldly and said: "Don't think that if you say that, I will be grateful to Dade, I have my own standard of judgment, I will send you out, and Lao Tzu will not owe you favors." If in the future, if I see your group of things endangering human beings, Lao Tzu will not be soft-hearted. ”
When Zhan Nan heard the words "you guys", a cold glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered up the past.
"What did our ancestors say, we are just looking for a place to live, how can we indiscriminately hurt people?"
Dugu Idiot looked at him and nodded.
"That's the best!"
Zhan Nan turned his head and gave a few orders to the guards who looked like iron towers beside him, and these bulky people jumped out like black shadows.
Soon, they came back and whispered a few words in Zhan Nan's ear.
A look of surprise appeared in Zhan Nan's eyes.
"Are you sure it's him?"
The tower-like man nodded.
Zhan Nan's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous light, and finally chuckled and said, "Okay, interesting, I didn't expect to give it casually, and actually played a good move." ”
Zhan Nan untied the Nine Dragon Talisman he had just obtained on his chest, handed it over and ordered, "You go and give the Nine Dragon Talisman to that person, and let him let us live." ”
"Young master, this ......" The man in the black robe, like an iron tower, hesitated a little.
"Don't worry, didn't I give him the essence blood before? The one who received my things is my person, and when you get close to him, you will use the blood to probe, if he uses my drop of essence blood, then give him the Nine Dragon Talisman, if he is not used, then give him the jade pendant you picked up that day. ”
The tower-like black-robed man bowed his head.
When the young master and the man met, the young master gave the man a drop of essence blood, and the man returned a jade pendant, but the young master had always been arrogant, so he let the jade pendant fall on the beach, and after he saw it, he picked up the jade pendant.
"It's okay, isn't this going to come in handy?" Zhan Nan patted him on the shoulder.
The black-robed man lowered his head and jumped out again.
"Looks like you've got a plan. Dugu said lightly.
Zhan Nan knew that this was Dugu's farewell, and their agreement was that Dugu Idiot would help them get the Nine Dragon Talisman and escort them out safely.
Now that he sees that he has a way, Dugu Idiot has done what he agreed on, and he is ready to go.
"Greetings to seniors. Zhan Nan said with a slight bend.
When he looked up, Dugu was gone.
......
The eldest prince looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him and Tiefutu.
He didn't go to join in the excitement of the lake, he sent scouts early, intending to surround these people, he didn't think that he could do anything big with the eunuch with little energy.
"Little Tie Mo, participate in the big prince. ”
The black-robed man suddenly knelt down and bowed respectfully.
He urged the blood veins in his body, and the eldest prince suddenly felt a palpitation, his face suddenly turned green, and then he shook twice, almost planting his horse.
When the black-robed man saw him like this, he was immediately overjoyed, and took out the Nine Dragons Talisman that the young master had just untied from his arms, and presented it with both hands.
"The order of the young master is hereby to give gifts. ”
When the eldest prince saw the Nine Dragons Talisman, surprise appeared in his eyes.
After thinking about it, he urged the Dragon Emperor Gong and sucked the Nine Dragons Talisman over.
The small jade talisman emitted a golden light, making him feel comfortable.
This Nine Dragons Talisman and Dragon Emperor Gong have an inexplicable sense of resonance, when this matter was very young, his father told him that when the Nine Dragons Talisman had not yet been sent to the Qingchi Peak of Shu Mountain, he had also felt that kind of resonance, exactly the same as this time.
"Who is the young master of your family?" he asked immediately with a hint of ecstasy on his face.
"The young master of my family had a relationship with the prince by the South China Sea that day. ”
Hearing him say this, the eldest prince recalled that weak and mysterious young man, and he also gave himself a drop of the essence blood of the ancient fierce beast Xiangliu, which helped him almost cure the backlash of the Dragon Emperor's Gong.
"Your young master helped me twice, I don't know what I want?"
Tie Mo replied respectfully: "The young master said that meeting is fate, and it should be a good fate." ”
The eldest prince remembered the young man, the young man who let his jade pendant be thrown on the beach.
His eyes narrowed, knowing that this matter was not simple, but he couldn't refuse to accept the benefits offered by the other side.
The first time was to heal his body, so that he had the possibility of continuing to compete for the crown prince, and this time, he directly sent the Nine Dragons Talisman, increasing his bargaining chips to become the crown prince.
He sighed, put away the Nine Dragons Fu and said, "Okay, if there is another fate, your son-in-law has something to ask for, and I Xuanyuan Chi will never shirk it!"
After saying that, he reined in the horse's head and turned to leave with Tiefutu.
After Tie Mo went back, his face was full of doubts.
Zhan Nan patted the loyal guard on the shoulder and said, "Aren't you still thinking clearly?"
Tie Mo nodded.
Zhan Nan said slowly: "Since you gave things out, it means that he used my essence blood." Is my Zhannan's things so easy to take, he, ah, will eventually become our own people. Isn't it safest to put things in the hands of your own people, and that one of your own people may become the Holy Emperor of the Holy Dynasty in the future?"
Zhan Nan said, looking at the direction where the eldest prince left, a cruel smile appeared on his face!
