Chapter 214: Housing prices in the capital
"You're crazy, if you continue like this, even your Shouyuan will be lost!"
β......β
Without answering, Mo Xiaolou's eyes were cold, and he swung his knife again.
Faced with such a desperate situation, he believed that he had made the most correct choice, and transformed all his surplus life into extremely fast sword techniques to fight against the increasingly sluggish operation of True Qi. If you don't get past the current level, what's the point of the rest of your life?
He weaves through the crowd of enemies like a wind sweeping away leaves. But he was constantly hit by sharp blades: he concentrated all his defenses behind him, and attacked and defended in front of him.
His breath became more and more sluggish, and even a layer of frost formed on his eyelashes, and as soon as the blood in the wound spilled out, it immediately condensed into blood-red ice crystals, which fell in an instant. His face was always calm, frighteningly calm. The movements are always so elegant and elegant, as brilliant as summer flowers.
Grandma Tong was stunned, not amazed by Mo Xiaolou's moves, but found that his hair was becoming snow-white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her heart sank,
"You damn bastard......"
Grandma Tong scolded lightly, hugged him tightly, and bit down on his neck fiercely.
Mo Xiaolou didn't feel the slightest pain, but felt a warm tingling on his neck, and the phenomenon of sluggish breath was suddenly relieved.
At this time, he was trying to break through the limit of his knife technique, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he slashed arbitrarily. It seems to be just an impromptu swing, but the aura emitted by the dance of the blade is like the most beautiful dance in the world: brilliant and ethereal.
Mo Xiaolou always thought that he knew the knife, but at this moment he realized that he only knew the knife technique, but he did not understand the knife itself. The meaning of the knife is to guard. He wants to protect the person behind him. When he connected with Wu Xingyun's life and entered the state of divine sense, he finally comprehended this extremely strange knife move.
No, it's not a knife move, such a knife doesn't need to be dressed up with moves anymore.
The sword is famous, not because of the weirdness of the legend, nor because of its peerless lethality.
The terrible thing about the knife is that it can penetrate any armor and destroy any defense. Even the hardest Hundred-Crack Cloud Piercing Armor, the legendary chain gold armor, is still pale and powerless in front of this sword. When fighting, it won't even collide with other weapons, but will only send it into the opponent's body as quickly as possible.
But the most terrible thing is not the knife, but the person.
Each knife has its own established route.
When a person strictly follows this route and swings the knife, the knife is no longer a knife. Rather, it is the product of harmony with space. Just as one cannot escape space, no one can escape the sword.
With a knife in hand, the prosperity is gone.
With a "poof", as the last golden knife man fell to the ground, Mo Xiaolou finally saw darkness and knelt on the ground.
He had become a bloody man, covered with countless wounds, and as the door of the courtyard slammed open, he knew that this hellish trial was finally over.
He turned around and patted Grandma Tong's buttocks, and was about to make a joke, only to find that there was a chill behind him.
The person behind him had already absorbed his cold qi and turned it into a crystal clear ice sculpture.
Mo Xiaolou hurriedly hugged Grandma Tong in his arms, and melted the ice around her with the only remaining bit of true qi.
In the middle of the night, the ice melted and the snow melted, Grandma Tong revealed a pale jade face, Mo Xiaolou stretched out her hand to probe, her heart was cold, she was out of breath.
"How could it be ......?"
Mo Xiaolou was a little dazed, but he heard a female voice coming from nowhere.
"Congratulations. You are the first person to get out of here alive and can get the Arcana. β
In the next moment, the stars shone brightly, and the woman appeared beside the two, her hair fluttering, and her moon-white dress set off her graceful and proud figure, and her skin was white, like a mutton fat jade carving.
When Mo Xiaolou looked at her face, he could only see a chaotic mist,
"I don't want anything but a treasure to revive her, and I know that your power can do it. β
The woman wondered, "Interesting." If you don't have a woman by your side, you will pass the first eight levels very easily, but it is precisely because of this woman that you can pass the ninth level...... Providence, providence. β
She looked at Wu Xingyun in Mo Xiaolou's arms, and suddenly showed a playful look on her face, and continued: "This woman should have died here. Help you win the treasure, this is her fate. This treasure is of great use to you, and after ten thousand years, you will inevitably be able to turn into death and life, flesh and bones, and it will not be too late to resurrect her by yourself. β
"Don't ask for ten thousand years, just ask for day and night. β
"Oh, this woman is so good, it's worth your future. β
"Well, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, like a pure white swan, elegant, pure, soft, beautiful, small jasper, shy and lovely, with bright wrists and snow, black hair like clouds, her eyes are watery and silky, just one glance makes me indulge in it and I can't extricate myself. What a lovely son who captivates the country and the city. β
"Poof!" Wu Xingyun finally couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud. When she opened her eyes, she found that Mo Xiaolou was also looking at her with a smile.
"Bastard!"
Wu Xingyun suddenly felt bored, closed his eyes, and said with a cruel smile: "I don't want to see you laugh now, I want to see what you look like when you cry." β
Mo Xiaolou squeezed out two more tears when he boarded, which made Wu Xingyun look angry and funny.
After the rest of the disaster, the two of them relaxed their hearts, and made a few more jokes, only to remember that there were outsiders present, Grandma Tong coughed twice, Mo Xiaolou put clothes on her, and asked the woman:
"May I ask the gods, what kind of place is this, and why is time and space still here?"
The woman said softly: "This is just a memory that I cut down when I traveled to the Ten Thousand Worlds, and it was also out of boredom...... What you see now is not me, but a remnant of consciousness. β
Mo Xiaolou's heart trembled, just a memory is so ferocious, how powerful this woman's body should be!
"You have completed the trial, and you deserve to be rewarded. β
The next moment, the stars shifted, and the three of them appeared at the same time in a fairyland-like cave, in which all kinds of jade slips and ancient books, as well as various wonderful ancient paintings and clots, all revealed that this was the blessed land of a certain enlightened person.
In the middle of the cave, there is a raised stone platform, on which lies a very old and broken utensil, looking at the shape, some like a shuttle for weaving.
"You have a destiny with me, and this treasure is given to you. β
The woman waved her hand lightly, Mo Xiaolou suddenly felt refreshed, the serious injury he had suffered before, half a breath had been recovered, and the shuttle lying on the stone platform appeared in his hand without warning, the sharp end of the shuttle stabbed his palm, and a drop of essence blood melted into the shuttle from the palm.
Mo Xiaolou looked at this tattered thing curiously, but he didn't see anything special at all, so he casually gave it to Pandora and asked her to study it.
Exhaled a breath of turbidity, and when Mo Xiaolou raised his head again, the woman's face no longer had the feeling of being surrounded by chaos, but her face was still invisible.
Her slender body was silent, and her face wore a grimace mask that seemed to cry but not cry, and seemed to laugh but not laugh, which was strange and inexplicable.
"Your blood is amazing. There was no aura of great power in his body, but he evolved to perfection in another strange way...... To be honest, for the first time, I was so eager to see a future for humanity. β
There seemed to be a taste of regret in the woman's voice.
"You...... Can you see the future?" Mo Xiaolou asked with a move in his heart.
"When you cultivate to a realm like mine. We know that the past and the future are just a drop in the ocean in a long time and space. It's a pity that this body is just a memory......"
The woman was silent for a long time, and then said, "Grant me a request." β
The last word is "request", not "request". Mo Xiaolou clearly felt the slight tremor in her words. With this person's strength, if she still wants to say the word "request", I am afraid that what she wants to say is a concept that ordinary people cannot understand.
Mo Xiaolou subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, his mind changed, the situation was difficult to understand at this time, it was better to follow the words of this terrible person, so he nodded solemnly and said, "Okay." I tried my best. β
"With your strength, you may not be able to touch the edge of this matter in your lifetime...... I hope you will help me find a similar flower. β
"Similar...... Mo Xiaolou was stunned: "What kind of flower is it like?"
She didn't answer this question, but stretched out her finger and pointed at the center of Mo Xiaolou's eyebrows, "When you have enough strength, you will know." β
"See you in a hundred years. Go to yourself. β
After leaving such an inexplicable sentence, Mo Xiaolou and the two were shocked at the same time, and their eyes were dark. When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the entrance of the Loulan Secret Realm.
At this time, there is no so-called Loulan, and as far as the eye can see, there is only a vast desert.
Wu Xingyun said with palpitations: "What a terrible woman!" I just glanced at her secretly, and my whole body seemed to freeze. I can't even speak, and I can't hear what you're saying. β
ββββββββββ
Taihu Lake, Mantuo Mountain Villa.
The entire waters of Taihu Lake were besieged by the imperial court's sailors, and even the shores of Taihu Lake were controlled. Bursts of chaotic shouts came from the boats surrounding Mantuo Villa.
β...... You are already surrounded! Those who know each other should abandon the village and surrender immediately! Don't toast, eat or drink!" Such a rough and irritable voice was mixed with a thick ferocity and threat.
"The court and the rivers and lakes have always been well water does not interfere with river water, where are you in the tun army, do you want to provoke a fight between the court and the martial arts?" This is Li Qingluo's voice, a few days ago, she received a secret report that the imperial court was about to send troops to encircle and suppress Mantuo Villa, so she brought Xingzi and others and a group of original Xiaoyaomen people, and rushed over all the way.
"Hahahaha! Well water doesn't interfere with river water? This is just a wishful thinking on the part of you people in the rivers and lakes who deceive yourself and others! Hmph, you and others are suspected of rebellion. The official family drove in person, persuaded Er to surrender as soon as possible, if he wanted to go his own way, under the king's master, the chicken and dog would not stay. β
......
In the villa, the wolf son was wounded by an arrow in the shoulder and looked a little weak, "The situation is not good. Looking at the number of troops, I am afraid that there are no less than 400,000. It seems that not only the tun army in Jiangnan Province, but also the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty should have transferred the forbidden army in the capital. β
"How is this good, my father-in-law is nowhere to be found, and several of your senior brothers and sisters have gone to the Western Regions, which is far from being able to solve the near fire. Li Qingluo's expression was full of anxiety.
At this time, another burst of laughter came from outside: "Haha, I heard that the hostess of the villa is a great beauty! If you don't surrender, it's okay, hand over the owner of the villa to me, blow and play and sing a few times, so that our soldiers and brothers can be happy, but you can hold off for a few days, hahahaha." β
A large amount of lewd laughter came from afar. Li Qingluo was so angry that he broke several vases, and shouted angrily outside: "No wonder all these years foreigners have dared to run rampant and domineering in my Great Song Dynasty territory, the army is actually this kind of oppression of women and children, I think sooner or later, even the emperor will be robbed by foreigners." β
"Bold!"
There was another roar outside, if it weren't for the order from above, recruit security first, and then use force, I'm afraid these guys would have waved the flag to attack.
"Senior sister doesn't need to be angry. Xingzi rolled his mouth and looked angry, "Let these people have a good taste of the poisoning of our birds!"
"No, you can't. β
Li Qingluo shook her head, "Now the Song army is only blocking Taihu Lake, and has not yet taken the initiative to attack. We'd better not have any overreactions, we can delay as long as our stepfather comes back, he will definitely have a way!"
......
Day 2.
Black clouds overwhelmed the city, Mantuo Villa, a place that should have been indisputable with the world, because of various coincidences, was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops at this time, and the soldiers on the building boat all showed fierce eyes, playfully looking at the panicked crowd on the island.
With a burst of cruel laughter, a guy in the Song army's ranks, who was obviously the leader, walked out, wearing a felt hat, his face was full of meat, and he spoke with a hideous and terrifying meaning: "I gave you a day to think about it, and if you are so ignorant of lifting, it seems that you can't see blood." With a wave of his hand, a group of soldiers dragged several female maids out of the cabin.
"Slash them all!"
With an order, the soldiers behind him held halberds and swung them violently!
In a scream of pain, several maids fell to the ground.
Bursts of frightened screams and crazy roars came from the small island where Mantuo Mountain Villa was located, and Li Qingluo was even more angry and trembling,
"Death to the thief!!"
Ignoring the dissuasion of picking stars, she rushed out of the village from the trail, holding a long sword, turning into a snow-white sword light that flew towards the cabin like a meteor, but the Song general only glanced at it obliquely, "Jianghu people, sure enough, there is only the courage of a horseman." β
Without his order, the next moment, countless arrows shot out of the warship and hit Li Qingluo. The arrows were too dense, and in desperation, Li Qingluo flew back again, his body fixed on the island, his eyes cold and angry.
"Hey, beauty, what's your name, how old are you?" said the general, standing on the deck railing, and mocked loudly.
There was a burst of laughter from the troops.
Li Qingluo trembled with anger, and scolded: "Bah, dog officer! If you do too much injustice, you will be punished by heaven!"
When the general heard this, he was not angry, but ridiculed: "If we talk about many unrighteous deeds, I am afraid that we are far inferior to our wife." In the underground of this Mantuo Villa, I don't know how many souls are buried. Hehe, but don't worryβ"
After a pause, he touched his beard, changed his words, and said loudly: "As long as you surrender and declare your return to the imperial court, you will be able to call the shots, not only to recruit you, but also to blame the past." If the beauty is willing, she can also be the fifth aunt's wife of this general, haha, this is the cooperation between the government and the people, and the result is twice the result with half the effort. Isn't it beautiful? β
"Bastard!"
Li Qingluo snorted, but the general's eyes lit up, and he said: "It seems that you are really the big boss of the Central Plains Headquarters of the Star Residence, Mantuo Cottage! Hehe, you dare to take the initiative to expose Xingzang, you are extremely stupid!"
Turn to the left and right:
"Order, the vanguard army will attack, capture the bandit leader alive, and the anti-thief cottage will collapse itself!"
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
