Volume 1 Chang'an Chapter 43 Water Recovery
The mountain road is rugged and not easy to walk, most of them are mountain people hunting, chopping wood, and to Sanqingguan incense, stepping out of the sheep intestine path, there are almost no stone steps, the forest covers the sky and the sun, thorns and weeds are overgrown, full of primitive atmosphere.
The Taoist of Sanqingguan led the way in front, Wu You and Fang Zheng talked very happily, especially when he heard the latter talk about the fact that he was not angry at the corruption of the county officials, and angrily took Fang Yuan's wife and son, and went to Chang'an to sue the emperor without fear of difficulties, his expression was very excited, showing a yearning look.
The chivalrous act of hoeing the strong and helping the weak, in the eyes of a simple girl, is always correct, attractive, and worthy of respect.
At this time in his previous life, Li Ye had already lived in the market, and Shangguan Chengcheng lived a hard life of dependence on each other, and now he knew that the world was about to be in chaos, but limited by the knowledge of his previous life, he didn't know what kind of worldly state and world situation it meant.
In the current Tang Dynasty, the clouds are treacherous, Li Ye wants to change the fate of his previous life, go to the world in this life, and compete for hegemony with the heroes and princes of the world, he will inevitably gradually realize and experience what it means to "the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings" and "the black clouds are crushing the city and the city is about to be destroyed".
In the inaccessible and undeveloped forest paths, there is really no vision, and after walking in such a place for a long time, Li Ye gradually felt a little uncomfortable, especially at the moment when everyone was in a very bad situation. Probably intuition, or the perception of danger cultivated by the cultivation career before the crossing, Li Ye always felt that this Niushou Mountain was full of mystery and speculation.
Then he found that the pale golden dragon qi floating on the dantian slowly swam up, it seemed to be threatened by something, and it seemed to be attracted by something, quite a bit restless and ready to move.
Li Ye couldn't help but look up and look towards the direction where the main peak of Niushou Mountain was located.
Dragon Qi is undoubtedly his biggest reliance now, after absorbing the seal of King An, representing the luck of the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, he has become a lot more condensed, but he has also been silent for a long time.
Around noon, everyone came to a small lake in the mountain stream, the small lake was only twenty or thirty paces in circumference, the lake was green but bottomless, and everyone decided to rest here for a while.
When Li Ye was fetching water by the lake, Shangguan Chengcheng stood behind him with a knife, watching around vigilantly, even though she was destined to see nothing, she would not relax her guard because of this.
Li Ye turned his head and smiled: "The valley here is deep, quiet and abnormal, and there is no one else to come, so you can rest." ”
Shangguan Chengcheng shook his head seriously: "Guarding His Highness is thorough, and it is the duty of the last general." Weekend...... If the cultivation is not good, he can't give His Highness much help when he is in battle, so he has to pay more attention to the movements around him at ordinary times. ”
This back to Niushou Mountain, Shangguan Allure did not lead soldiers, nor did she wear armor, only dressed in a strong suit, at this moment she stood by the knife, her posture was still straight, her body curve was quite exposed, and her heroic posture had not been reduced by half a point, and at the same time, she added a moving atmosphere.
In Li Ye's mind, he couldn't help but have some memories of his previous life. Li Ye was in Daliang City, when he was the puppet emperor, the attendants and eunuchs, palace maids, and janissaries were all people of the powerful minister Zhu Quanzhong, and the high walls of the deep palace were extremely cold, and they were in danger, as if they were going to swallow him at any time.
After Li Ye finished taking the water, he stood up from the lake, and at this moment, only seven steps away from him, the calm and waveless lake at that time, suddenly a large shadow rose rapidly, like a big bird flying in the air, casting a reflection, and like a big fish in the lake was about to surface.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
With a bang, Shangguan Chengcheng had already drawn his sword out of its sheath, held the handle of the knife with both hands, held it high above the top, and slashed towards the shadow on the surface of the lake.
When the four-foot sword qi flew out, everyone by the lake looked stunned, with a puzzled look on their faces, as if to say, what danger can there be in this place near the Taoist Temple of Niushou Mountain, is Shangguan Allure too sensitive?
However, before the sword qi touched the water, the surface of the lake, which was still calm a moment ago, suddenly rushed up a water spring that was higher than a person's head, and the snow-white water splashed in all directions.
Shuiquan and Shuihua held up a figure, but it was a burly man holding a giant axe, when he appeared on the water, he roared, and the giant axe slashed down at Li Ye!
Because of Shangguan Allure's timely warning, Li Ye was able to deal with it calmly, he floated back a few steps, avoiding the burly man's attack, and the aura from the giant axe slashed on the lake, and suddenly the gravel flew sideways, and the water waves were agitated.
At the same time, seven or eight figures appeared on the lake, and in the sound of rushing water, they rushed towards the clan disciples by the lake.
The children of the clan were shocked at first, and then angry, fortunately, they had already seen Shangguan Allure attack, at this time they were not completely defenseless, but they did not let the other party's sneak attack succeed, Wu You and Li Jing'an relied on their high strength, and they had already shown their magic weapons to meet them, while Li Qian and others quickly swept back and distanced themselves.
"For the sake of the country, kill these people!" the attackers did not forget to "identify" their identities as they moved.
Li Ye swept a few steps, threw away the water bladder in his hand, pulled out the Lu Gu sword and held it in his hand, Shangguan poured into the city, slashed several times, and the sword light shrouded the burly man holding the giant axe, "Bold thief, Hugh is arrogant!"
Li Ye's eyebrows and eyes flickered, and he turned to the side slightly, and Lu Gujian lifted it behind him, and with a crisp sound, it was actually the intersection of two swords. A long sword stabbed from the dense forest behind Li Ye was picked up by Lu Gujian.
Li Ye's mouth was numb, his wrist shook, Lu Gujian trembled in the palm of his hand, and he almost came out of his hand, his face was straight, and he already knew in his heart that the other party's cultivation was one step higher than him, so he immediately lowered his eyebrows, and while moving away, he looked at the person who came.
The attacker was a middle-aged man with a Chinese face and good facial features, which at first glance did not look like a villain, but rather a gentleman. This is the middle-aged Taoist priest who spoke to Xu Qingfeng, and this assassination was also headed by him, in fact, Xu Qingfeng's eldest disciple, Xu Fengzhu.
A sneak attack with a sword failed, Xu Fengzhu was very surprised, he planned very clearly before, the people in the lake sneak attacked, forcing the people by the lake to retreat, at the same time, they killed a sneak attack from the dense forest, attacked from both sides, caught by surprise, and the possibility of success was very high, but was detected and warned by Shangguan Chengcheng in time, and Li Ye's reaction was so fast, so that he lost his hand.
When Li Ye moved sideways to the left, Xu Fengzhu had already followed, he missed a blow, but his movements did not pause, and his right foot swept in, heading straight for Li Ye's left waist.
Li Ye bent his knees and raised his legs to block Xu Fengzhu's sweep, and with a bang, the force from his left leg was so great that he was almost unsteady on his feet.
His right foot quickly stepped on the ground, and Li Ye slashed flat with a sword, directly hitting Xu Qingfeng's throat.
Xu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, probably he didn't expect that when Li Ye was defending, he could counterattack at the same time, and this kind of ability to fight with elimination was far beyond ordinary people.
He leaned back, dodging the Lu Gu sword that came from the horizontal slash, and at the same time the long sword was slashed diagonally, attacking Li Ye's left rib.
Unexpectedly, Li Ye slashed horizontally with a sword, but it was just a false blow, and his body had already jumped away and opened a step away.
Li Ye didn't blindly dodge, taking advantage of Xu Fengzhu's leaning back, before adjusting his body, he withdrew his long sword and slashed several swords, and the Dao sword qi flew vertically, blinking in front of Xu Fengzhu!
Xu Fengzhu's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, he didn't expect Li Ye's combat skills to be so good, even using it with ease, both offense and defense, and virtual and real transformation, and in the face of sneak attacks and cultivation that were higher than him, he didn't mess up at all, he dealt with it calmly, and his moves were old and spicy, like a great monk who had experienced countless vicious battles.
This surprised Xu Fengzhu. Li Ye can see through Li Guanshu's conspiracy, that is superior wisdom, this kind of talent, there is nothing to say, but combat skills have to be honed from countless battles, and the most important thing is to pay attention to experience and integration.
In Xu Fengzhu's prediction, King An, who is pampered and pampered, even though his cultivation techniques are very powerful, as long as he fights in close quarters and does not give him the opportunity to perform high-level exercises, the other party is just fish and meat.
Reality gave Xu Fengzhu a slap in the face, but it didn't make him panic, his figure flashed, and he avoided several sword qi from Li Ye's slash.
The sword qi struck the trees, cutting off the branches, chopping the leaves, and striking the trunks, plowing out several sword marks, shaking the trees to tremble.
When Xu Fengzhu dodged the sword qi, he did not simply retreat, but after moving sideways, he jumped forward, and the long sword swung again and again, striking out several sword qi, covering Li Ye, this move to cover himself, but also to restrict Li Ye, at the same time, people followed the sword, and approached Li Ye with the sword qi.
"His Royal Highness King An, you must die!" There was no hatred or resentment in Xu Fengzhu's eyes, only killing intent, cold killing intent. He has no grudge against Li Ye, but simply wants to kill Li Ye.
Xu Fengzhu's low voice was not untargeted, and when he heard his words, two of the surrounding attackers immediately rushed over and besieged Li Ye with Xu Fengzhu.
There is only one person here who can be called His Highness.
King An, this is the reason why Xu Fengzhu personally besieged and killed Li Ye.
Because the identity of the prince is noble enough, and the sensation caused by his death is big enough, it is most in line with Xu Qingfeng's intentions.
The children of the clan are now facing the dilemma of being attacked from both sides, and this place is located by the lake, there is only one forest path, although it is much wider than the rugged mountain road, but on the other side is the dense forest, and the widest place is only three or five steps.
Being besieged in such a place, Rao is the entourage of Wu You and Li Jing'an, who has the cultivation of the fifth level of Qi training, and it is not as good as it can be used on flat ground, and the manpower of the two sides is staggered with each other, and they no longer have the ability to kill in groups.
In this short period of time, both sides were entangled so badly that they were both dragged down.
"Ahh
Suddenly, Li Ye heard Li Qian's scream, and then there was a popping sound of falling water, and the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a large ball of blood spreading out of the lake, but no one struggled, his heart sank, Li Qi was already injured, and lost the talisman seal, even if there was a life-saving magic weapon, it was finally no match for the attacker's onslaught, and this time he finally explained.
And Li Ye himself has fallen into danger.
A sword stabbed on the left, he swept and flashed, and another sword swept on the right, he raised his sword to block it, and at the same time, Xu Fengzhu slashed out a sword qi on his head and went straight to Li Ye's door.
