CH.074 Mirror Blossoms
The confrontation on the city wall attracted the attention of thousands of soldiers outside the palace gate, not thinking that before attacking the imperial city, their own family started infighting. The trident glowed with a cold silver light, and Teacher Wang waved his hand back, immediately forcing Guan Song and the others to take a big step. There is a saying: "An inch is long and an inch is strong." "Whether it's a jade sword or a double sword, under the serial attack of Teacher Wang, you can't get close at all.
All of a sudden, the battle was at a stalemate, and the prince could not win with one-to-many, while Guansong and the others could not get close and could not exert the power of the weapon at all.
During the confrontation, the torches on the city walls froze in the wind, and the wind also brought up the shadow figure, and this darkness loomed around the trident in the night. Mr. Wang picked up the trident, one horizontally and the other stabbed, right on the side of the Shadow Knife. "What kind of monster is this, it can automatically attack without human movement. The prince's teacher was surprised at first sight, but after a few battles, the shadow had already fallen to the ground, and then he staggered and fell to the ground uncertainly.
Tied the bun saw that the shadow had been injured, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, and the shadow also turned into that golden chicken, and the left wing was already drenched in blood, and the injury was serious.
The prince teacher opened victoriously, and couldn't help but feel excited, he took several big strides in a row, trident in hand, wheel, split, thorn, and used it handily, strong and powerful. The strong wind of the trident blew through everyone's faces, and the sound whistled in everyone's ears. If anyone is hit by it, I'm afraid it won't feel good.
Guan Song and the others retreated one after another, there was no way to retreat, there was a lookout behind them, and the soldiers guarding the city wall did not dare to rush forward, but just watched from a distance. A few days ago, these people were still talking and laughing with the prince's teacher, but now, they are fighting hard, and the prince's teacher did not tell him to take down everyone, so these soldiers just watched and did not come forward. When he saw Mr. Wang shoot down the shadow, he just cheered a few times.
Before the Guansong jade sword touched Teacher Wang's clothes, the trident had already slapped at his arm, he quickly retracted his arm, stretched out two fingers, drove the flying sword, recited the sword technique, and attacked again and again. The cuckoo on the back side saw that Teacher Wang was busy dealing with the jade sword and double swords, and the stone in his right hand had quietly sent out, hitting Teacher Wang's shoulder, and several flying stones hit the back of Teacher Wang's hand. Teacher Wang's hand shook a few times in pain.
Just as he was dodging the flying stones, Xiangyu's soft whip rolled up the axe in Qing Chong's hand and flew towards the head of the prince's teacher. Teacher Wang hurriedly turned sideways a few times, so that there was no blood splashed on the spot. The axe flew back into Qing Chong's hand, but Xiangyu's soft whip changed direction and wrapped around the trident. The soft whip was tough, and Mr. Wang hurriedly pulled his weapon, but he couldn't pull it all of a sudden. Seeing this, Guan Song and Guan Feng saw this, and the sword and knife had already slashed towards the arm of the prince's teacher. Teacher Wang hurriedly let go of the weapon in his hand, but the person dodged backwards.
Empty-handed, Mr. Wang could only dodge the attacks of Guansong and others, and when he saw that the attacks were getting more and more dense, he ran on the city wall regardless of his manners. Guan Song and the others did not give up, they chased after him, Guan Song's flying sword cut off his back road, and Xiangyu's soft whip had wrapped around his waist, and he had no way to avoid it, and there was no way to escape.
When everyone saw that he had no way out, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and were about to tie him up and persuade the prince to surrender, when the prince's teacher shouted loudly and turned into a ball of white gas, and in the white gas was a big white fish. At the same time, the gates of the city wall and palace were peeled off one after another, and many soldiers turned into water vapor, which was thrown into white gas, disappeared, and disappeared.
"What kind of monster are you?" said Guansong, pointing at the big fish with his jade sword.
The big fish first laughed twice, and said: "I am Mengze, living in the water of Mengze." You see, the cloud kingdom here has been destroyed, the prince is dead, the queen is dead, there is no one left, only I am still in this dream, and I cannot be freed. ”
"No, you see. Guanfeng's eyes were exceptionally clear, "You see, although the palace of the Cloud Kingdom no longer exists, you see, behind the illusory city wall is the real farmland, and the crops on it are neat and consistent. The people of the Cloud Country are still there, and the Cloud Country is still there. ”
The big fish shook his head, noncommittal, and finally nodded at Guan Song and the others, turned into stars, and disappeared into the night sky.
Guan Song looked at the place where he was, in front of a river in front of a farmland.
"There are people farming here, and I think there should be residents not far away. Guan Song said to Guan Feng and them, "Why don't we go down the river, maybe we will find someone and spend the night at that time." Guanfeng and they nodded again and again.
Follow the river all the way to the east, sure enough, there is a village, and there are two big characters "Kaihua" on the archway at the entrance of the village.
This should be the eighteenth formation, with the name "Enlightenment".
Walking into the village, the thatched houses and stone roads are all normal, but there is one thing, it is very strange, all the houses here have no doors, windows but no panes or window paper. Guan Song and the others originally wanted to knock on the door of which house, so as to ask the owner if they could spend the night, but they didn't want to, there was no door in this house, and there was no palm light in the room, so it seemed inappropriate to rush in.
It seems that overnight stays are no longer feasible. Guan Song and the others found a pavilion, and there were two benches in the pavilion, and everyone sat or lay down, and they also survived the night.
The next day, when it was light, a villager passed by outside the pavilion, and the sound of his speech woke up Guan Song and the others. "Who are you, and why are you here?" asked a strong man, who was dressed in animal skins and holding a wooden stick in his hand, and he looked curiously at the clothes of Guan Song and the others, which were bright in color and soft in texture. Guan Song and the others were sleepy-eyed and did not answer for a while. The strong man waited for a moment, and then said, "I saw your clothes when I was a child." You are in the same place as the people who came here more than a decade ago. ”
The strong man muttered to himself for a while, and then took Guan Song's hand, "I'll take you to meet our village chief." ”
The thatched hut of the village chief's family is not outstanding among the many thatched huts, it is just as ordinary.
"The village chief. The strong man shouted loudly in front of the village chief's hut.
"It's coming, it's coming. The village chief was wearing a pale yellow linen coat, and he was carrying his pants as he walked, without a trace of the majesty and appearance that a village chief should have.
His hair was gray, his teeth were sparse, and his face was full of smiles, but when he saw Guan Song and the others, his face was obviously stunned.
"What's the matter, Liuwazi?" he spoke, his teeth still leaking with wind.
"I found these people in the pavilion at the entrance of the village and brought them back. The strong man said with a smile.
"I see. The village chief's face turned to Guan Song and the others again, "Are you from the market?" Guan Song and the others nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it's from the market." ”
"Oh, well, sit down and rest on the stake over there. The village chief did not beckon Guan Song and the others to come into the house and sit down, but turned back to his house as if he was in a bad mood, stayed in it for a long time, and when he came out, he took a letter and handed it to Guan Song and the others.
"I can't read, this letter was also left by a few people who were wearing the same material as you last time, saying that if someone has someone who is similar to their clothes in the future, you can give this letter to them, I have been at home for more than ten years, and I found it after looking for a long time, No, you can take it, you can take a good look. ”
Guan Song stretched out his hand suspiciously, but the village chief took Guan Song's hand and slapped the letter into Guan Song's hand. "Alright, that's it. ”
It is said that it is a letter, but it is actually an old yellowed paper, it seems that there is still some moisture, the words on it are not written with a pen, it is painted with charcoal, the paper is not large, the charcoal color on it has faded a little, and you can only see a few words vaguely, "natural" and "innocent". I read the other words for a long time, but I couldn't see what was written. Not knowing what it meant, Guansong carefully folded the paper and put it in the quail coat on his chest.
"Are you watching?" said the village chief in a loud voice, "You're here to break the formation, that's what those people said last time." I don't care if you break the formation or break the formation, as long as you live here for a month, I will see you off on the Falling Moon Peak in the west of the village and see you off. ”
Guan Song thought it would be difficult, and he didn't want it to be just like this, so he quickly nodded, "Thank you, village chief, we don't know what to do." ”
The village chief didn't have any expression, "You don't need to thank you here, just be like the villagers, it's just that your clothes are colorful and incompatible with our style here, so you'd better change them." There are still two empty houses at the east end of the village, so you can go and live there yourself. Liuwazi, if you are free, you can take them with you. ”
"Okay. The strong man, known as the Six Babies, smiled at Guan Song. "This way, you have to take the path, these clothes are too eye-catching, don't lose them. However, it is still very early, and many people have not gotten up yet, so it should be fine. ”
Guan Song saw that these six children were dressed plainly, and there was a beast tooth hanging on their chest. I couldn't help but open my mouth and say to him, "Can we call you Liuwazi?"
"Of course, it's good that you met me in the morning, or you'd have been watched like monsters. Liuwazi said as she walked.
"Why is that, is there any reason?" asked Guansong.
"Because I saw you like this when I was a kid, and I remember. And in the village, except for the village chief, I am afraid that I don't remember that incident anymore. ”
"Is it the incident that broke the formation ten years ago? What happened? Can you tell us about it?" Guanfeng couldn't help but step forward when he heard about the past.
"Of course, I am the only one in this village who has told you, only me and the village chief remember, but the village chief refuses to say it. Liuwazi took Guansong and the others to the two lonely houses in the east of the village.
