Standing northwest of Kyoto in the Tokai Kingdom, Mt. Fangwen has long been a place of royal worship of Dongyue and the Four Blasphemy. There is a huge stone protrusion on the top of the mountain, obliquely probing to the south, and the name is Wentian Stone. When the monarch of the East China Sea sacrificed to heaven and earth and the four blasphemous gods, he set up an altar here.

But now this important place of national sacrifice has become someone else's home.

More than 30,000 people in the vanguard of the Rong army conquered the important town of Ximayi in the north of Kyoto a few days ago, and then the 100,000 Chinese troops drove straight in, besieging Kyoto in the East China Sea in one fell swoop, and did not even give the East China Sea royal family a chance to flee eastward.

Now, on this questioning stone, there is a person standing in the wind.

This person doesn't look young anymore, and his temples are like frost. His black hair was mixed with white hair, and it was combed into a meticulous bun. There is a crown of five thunder golden lotus on the bun, and a sword from the clouds is inserted, and the momentum is extraordinary.

The two sword eyebrows on his face are in the sideburns, but the tips of the eyebrows are also pale, so they are against the nobility of the golden crown, making him look more stable and old. There are long hairs on the lips, cheeks, and chin, but this long hair is also black and white. This one looks like a Taoist leader in his forties and fifties. is indeed wearing a purple ribbon gossip fairy robe. The light on the fairy clothes is circulating, and you can see at a glance that it is not an extraordinary product.

Looking south from him, the outline of the huge castle of Kyoto in the Tokai Province can be faintly seen. If the weather is good, you can even see the glazed gold dome of the palace shining in the daylight, like a small sun. But for the Dao Master, whether the weather was good or bad did not prevent him from using his spiritual power to see the situation under Kyoto Castle clearly—he could even see the cold light shining on the blades of each person's hands.

The Rong army is under the city of Kyoto, and the Praetorian Guards in Kyoto are defending to the death. In fact, all the elite soldiers of the East China Sea Kingdom have been crippled by the Rong army, and the tens of thousands of people in Kyoto are just a rabble. However, the walls of Kyoto, like the walls of the capital of any country in the Middle Continent, were laid and built by Taoist priests or swordsmen of Genmon who laid a powerful magic circle.

Now that it has really reached an unprecedented critical situation, no one has ever thought that the magic circle that will be used passively will be opened in the end.

The eight golden gates of Kyoto in the Tokai Kingdom emitted a dazzling glow, and the glow converged in the sky, forming a huge shield that shrouded the entire city. The source of the power of this circle is the feng shui air pockets under the castle of Kyoto, the dragon energy of the emperors in the city, and the popularity of the people in the city—the monks who presided over the formation gathered these qi machines in one place and withstood the onslaught of the Rong army's three rounds.

Looking at the current situation, it seems that the capital of the East China Sea Kingdom is impregnable and cannot be captured.

There is another person beside the Taoist priest, who is a general with a helmet and armor. With his hand on the sword at his waist, he paced back and forth. After walking two or three steps, he craned his neck and looked into the distance. But this place was dozens of miles away from the place where the two armies were fighting, and he was a mortal, where could he see it? At most, he could only hear some occasional noises. But the sound was also ethereal, and he couldn't tell if it was a few drums or whether it was gold.

After a while, the general was in a hurry. He glared at the Taoist priest in front of him suddenly, as if he was about to shout and ask. But he remembered something, and hurriedly took a deep breath and clenched his fists—the words he wanted to say came out of his mouth, and his appearance had changed: "I said the Holy Monarch...... I'm not in the array, I'm really anxious! If the Holy Monarch wants to do it, he will do it...... What do you want me to do here?...... The three armies must be without commanders, if Your Majesty knows that I am not in the battle this time, and Kyoto will not be able to attack for a long time...... I'm afraid my head is—"

The Taoist priest glanced at him sideways, and the general quickly stopped talking, only frowning.

Seeing him like this, Lao Dao smiled: "General Zhang, have you forgotten your origin? You were originally born in Heizhai Castle and were a sword and axe hand who followed your majesty. If you want to say that you kill people and sell more goods, maybe you are good at it. But if you want to command tens of thousands of troops, it's not what you're good at. ”

The general was obviously not convinced, and glared again: "I have won a lot of battles—"

"It's because you've gathered a lot of defeated generals who are good at using your soldiers. but it is their merit. The Taoist priest smiled, "But you are also meritorious." Your credit is not in the siege of the city, but in the good work of those people. But today's situation is different - the three armies have joined forces to attack Kyoto, and the two people except you are all generals. If you're there, you're the manager. When you become a manager, you naturally want bad things. So it's better for me to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger here, and ask those two to do their best. ”

With such an evaluation, General Zhang was obviously not convinced. was afraid of the identity of the person in front of him, so he could only mumble a few words in his mouth: "Holy Monarch, if you speak, I naturally don't dare to say anything else." But if I'm not here, what if this city can't be captured? Look, Holy Monarch—"

As he spoke, he pointed forward: "You can also see the golden light there here, it should be that they have set up the formation! It has been four hours now, and the sound of the golden drum can still be heard, so it can be seen that it has not been taken down." Holy Monarch, when we attacked the capitals of Qi and Liu, the people inside had already fled, and this kind of big array didn't have time to be used. But at this time, our three-way army can be regarded as a lone army, and there are still rebels in Qi and Liuguo in recent days, once something happens in the back......"

"This array is easy to break. The Taoist priest interrupted him lightly, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, "It's just a true realm, and the two realms are presiding over the formation." To break it, it's just a matter of raising your hand. ”

The general was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Hehe, Holy Monarch, I don't believe this." If it's really a matter of raising your hand, why have you looked at it for so long and not made a move?"

The Taoist priest also smiled: "Okay." I'm going to show you. ”

As he said this, he raised his hand and flicked his thumb and middle finger.

and there was no vision or strange noise in front of him. The wind on the cliffs was still howling, and the fog between the valleys was undisturbed. Even the apes are still crying, and the birds are still singing. But after two breaths, the golden light in the distance disappeared.

After another three or four breaths, the general behind Lao Dao heard the sound of rolling thunder—but the thunder did not come down from the sky, but from the ground. Buzzing and rumbling, the two of them were dusty on their feet, as if a giant dragon was rolling underground!

The general was startled, and his eyes widened and he looked into the distance, but he still couldn't see anything. I had to say urgently: "What's wrong? What's wrong?!"

The Taoist priest dusted his fingers, and walked down to ask Tianshi in a hurry: "I killed the True Realm Taoist priest who presided over the formation, and the formation will naturally break." Soon the Northeast and West Gates will be breached, and it will only be a matter of a few hours to take Kyoto. ”

General Zhang was stunned for a moment. Only then did he shout: "Holy Monarch, since it is so easy for you to break the formation, why didn't you strike early, and watch so many people die in vain!?"

The Taoist priest smiled meaninglessly and shook his head: "I shot too early, it may not be a good thing." Now you see, many have died in these hours. But they were all killed. ”

"If I start shooting when I hit the north...... All the way to now, I'm afraid that these people are not the only ones who have died. ”

The general was stunned for a while, and probably understood what the Taoist priest said.

There are superior people on both sides to help. But these masters only do it when they have to, and on weekdays, they secretly contain each other. If there are high-ranking people who come forward in everything, I am afraid that it will eventually evolve into a fight between the gods. The power of this holy monarch's shot, General Zhang has learned. I know if two such holy kings fight in the middle of the battle...... I'm afraid that just one face, it will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dead people.

I heard the Taoist priest say again: "But I asked you to come here to explain another matter to you." Listen—"

His voice was slightly lower: "I'm going to leave for a while, and I'll leave today." Here's what happened here today—"

"The big array in Kyoto Castle, I could have easily broken it. But when I was asking the Heavenly Stone to exert my magical powers, my expression suddenly changed, as if I had heard some terrible news. ”

Then my face was like earth, and I had lost all my usual demeanor—and at this time the Rong army was besieging the city, and there were many casualties. You have the heart to ask me how it is, but you don't dare. I had to wait for a long time before I mentioned it. That's why I shot and killed the monk in charge of the formation in the city, and then—"

The Taoist priest slowed down his voice and looked at General Zhang: "The soul flew away without reluctance." ”

"When you go back, tell your soldiers to your right and left about it. Ask them if you have wronged me and offended me, so that I leave in anger. After that, you must strictly order your own soldiers not to spread the news of this matter, otherwise they will not be spared. ”

"You ask one person one night and another one person the second night. When the city of Kyoto is destroyed and the situation is stabilized, you should drink more alcohol at the celebration banquet. After drinking, after the feast, he mentioned the matter with the two generals with the intention of drinking, and told them the same not to spread the word. ”

"Do you remember what I said?"

When Lao Dao said the first few words, General Zhang was still suspicious and confused. But after he said a few more words in a low voice, the general's expression slowly froze. Except for nodding his head, he didn't do anything. His gaze also lost focus, and he turned to somewhere behind Lao Dao, not knowing what he was looking at.

When the last few words fell, General Zhang was like a wooden man, and he forgot to even nod his head.

After about three breaths, he gasped spasmodically, suddenly came to his senses, and shouted, "Holy Monarch, Holy Monarch!?"

But the Taoist in front of him was gone, and there were only birds singing and apes crying on the cliff. General Zhang stared at the left and right in a panic, but there was no one in sight, and then he sighed and cried bitterly: "Oh, oh, I said something wrong!? Why did this holy monarch leave?! I didn't say anything...... It's just a reminder to him!ahhh

"Huh...... Oops, fuck it...... What time is it now? Why is Lao Tzu here!......? How's the battle going!?"
