Chen Ke and Xiaoyaoxian went all the way to the southwest, sleepless, and traveled in a hurry for two days and two nights.

"Xiaoyao Immortal, how long do you think the defenders of Jianmen Pass can last?" Chen Ke asked the old panda as he sat on the treasure gourd

"I don't know. Xiaoyao Xian said a little tiredly, consuming mana continuously to hurry, Rao is also a little unbearable.

"The terrain of Jianmen Pass is dangerous, and the old saying goes: Jianmen is majestic and Cui Wei. Since the founding of the country for 8,000 years, no one has ever broken through the Sword Gate. ”

"The first emperor of Great Xia was determined to conquer the Quartet. However, he also lost his troops outside the Jianmen Pass, and finally exchanged for the surrender of Shuchuan, and the Great Xia vowed not to invade each other for a hundred generations. ”

"But the current national strength of Great Xia and Shuchuan is not what it used to be. Great Xia governs the country well and can produce many people. Although Shuchuan has not been war-torn for a long time, the people are rich. But over the years, Shu cultivation has withered, and even Jindan monks are very few. ”

Speaking of this, Xiaoyao Immortal sighed deeply and said, "What's more, my master and the Immortal Palace just made a blood oath to each other, and they must not interfere. As a result, the Jianmen Pass Jindan and above were overhauled, and only the chief soldier Yang Ping was left. ”

Just as the two were talking, Chen Ke suddenly felt two very powerful mana fluctuations coming from behind him.

He and Xiaoyao Immortal turned around and saw that it was Cao Luhua and Lei Bin, as well as Xiao Lingwei, who had just cultivated to the Jindan realm.

Calyx Luhua and Lei Bin each rode on top of a colorful lotus flower. They were very fast, and in a short time, they caught up with Chen Ke and Xiaoyaoxian.

"Come up!" swept to the side, Calyx Luhua invited the two people on the gourd, but only got a white eye from the free fairy.

"My master really didn't mean to lie to you. You didn't think of the Sword Gate, you only saw the scene of Guan Po and people dying, right?" Cao Luhua persuaded Wen Yan again, this time, Xiaoyao Immortal finally blew his beard and jumped on Baolian.

Lei Bin also leaned over his car, and two lotus flowers carried the five people forward at a rapid pace.

"Ling Wei, what are you and the Heavenly Master of the Calyx also going to the Sword Gate Pass?" Seeing that the Xiaoyao Immortal and the Second Heavenly Master of the Immortal Palace were still ignoring each other, Chen Ke had no choice but to ask Xiao Lingwei beside him.

"The day after you left, we received an edict from Great Xia. Xiao Lingwei replied, and she also secretly glanced at Xiaoyao Xian and Lei Bin, who were standing with their hands back to back. "The edict says that the demon king in Shu, Mrs. Hua Rui, has profound mana, and specially ordered my master and Lei Bin to enter Shuchuan to help the army surrender. If you can't persuade him to surrender, ~ he will be killed. ”

Xiao Lingwei timidly finished speaking, and Xiaoyao Xian immediately snorted coldly, looking even more unhappy.

"Now, this is what Liulituo brought to you. Xiao Lingwei hurriedly took out a mustard seed treasure bag from her arms and handed it to Chen Kedao.

Seeing that her master, uncle, and Xiaoyao Xian were in a tense situation, she had no choice but to divert the topic elsewhere.

Chen Ke opened his mouth to thank him, and by the way, he asked where Boshan Huaishan's master and apprentice were now.

He left in a hurry, estimating that the benefits promised by Boshan and Huaishan's master and apprentice were all cheaper than Uncle An Xiao.

"Boshan is dead. Unexpectedly, Chen Ke got a shocking answer from Xiao Lingwei's mouth.

"What? Didn't he still live well the day I left? Why did he die after only two days!?" Chen Ke was very surprised, even if he was going to die, he should be the master of Boshan's cultivation, and the old man of Huaishan was right.

Xiao Lingwei told Chen Ke the origin of the incident.

It turned out that not long after Chen Ke left that day, Xiangkang woke up. In terms of merit and punishment, Marshal Xiong's wind roared and guarded the palace forbidden, and the demon patrol was meritorious, and the merits and demerits were offset and were not commended.

The demons plagued the court, and their sins were all in the dead False Queen Pure Fox and Yulin Weinu Battalion, and these poor scapegoats were all sent to the West Pole Frontier Wilderness.

Queen Chun was unfortunately killed by the fox demon and buried after a month of coffin. Shaokang has made meritorious contributions to the border and will also return to the Great Xia clan at that time.

It's just that there must be someone to carry the black cauldron of the Xiong family. Xiang Kang is not really a fool, as soon as he heard that Shao Kang was allowed to return to Shen Xun by the two worshippers, he immediately figured out that it was Huai Shan who killed his beloved woman.

Under the persecution and coercion of Baiguan and Xiangkang. Boshan stood up and admitted that he had stolen the armor of the Yuxiong clan and infiltrated the palace without authorization, taking all the superfluous blame on himself.

In the evening of that day, Boshan isolated himself in front of the palace gate in fear of sin.

Hearing Xiao Lingwei say that Huaishan was holding Boshan's corpse, wailing in front of the palace like an old ape crying blood until midnight, Chen Ke couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Why bother. Chen Ke couldn't help but sigh. The two masters and apprentices of Boshan and Huaishan were loyal and devoted themselves to planning, all for their masters to return to Great Xia. But even if they succeeded, they themselves ended up with one body dead, one lost their cultivation, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person to the end.

"You and Uncle An Xiao have also been rewarded for their meritorious service. Xiao Lingwei pointed to a jade tube held by Lei Bin, but looking at Chen Ke's expression, she felt that he would not be too happy.

Sure enough, Chen Ke, like Uncle An Xiao the day before yesterday, waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to mention it.

In this way, the five of them drove for another day and a night.

It was close to noon that day, and they finally arrived outside the Sword Gate.

The smoke had long since obscured the sky in front of him. The ground was littered with unextinguished fires, and countless broken armor was discarded in the wilderness.

On the battlefield, there are countless corpses and bones, and some even maintain a fighting posture until death.

The bloody battlefield stretched into the distance, where there were layers of tents that could not be seen at a glance.

And beyond these tents is a mountain that rises into the sky.

Mountains stretch across the horizon, cliffs, dangerous rocks are downsided, and they are unattainable.

Looking at this cliff with a drop of more than a thousand feet, Chen Ke couldn't help but think of the poems written by a great poet in his previous life.

"The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky. He sighed as he slowly followed his memory.

That's a fitting statement. Hearing this, Cao Luhua praised Chen Ke and said, "The Taibai Qinling Mountains stretch across thousands of miles, cutting off the border between Daxia and Shuchuan. From ancient times to the present, only Jianmen Pass has 800 miles of plank road for people to pass. ”

"Even if there are high-ranking monks who can fly over, they can't do without ordinary people. And if an ordinary army wants to enter Shuchuan, there is only this way. Therefore, in history, Shu has never been captured by external forces. ”

"Can't you cross the water?" Chen Ke asked with some curiosity.

"Shuchuan does have a river out of the river. Cao Luhua smiled when he heard this, "It's just that the weak water Yangtze River, the upstream is Fengdu Lethe, we have seen it, have you forgotten?"

Chen Ke patted his head helplessly, the sword gate was majestic, and there was still a way out. Three ways to forget the river, entering the ghost gate, it is ten deaths.

At the feet of the people, there is a great avenue. Tortured by war, the road was cut off and off into the barracks ahead. And on both sides of this main road, it is also the densest concentration of military camps.

The mountains directly opposite the barracks here are particularly high, and the avenue leads into the clouds. The wind passed through the clouds, and in the gap between the clouds, Chen Ke saw that there seemed to be an extremely thin crack in the middle of the mountain range opposite.

"That's the Sword Gate closed. Xiao Lingwei pointed to the crack looming in the clouds and mist, and introduced it to Chen Ke.

"There is no way in the sky, and the immortals open it with a sword, so it is called the sword gate. Xiaoyao Xian also opened his mouth at this time, "One husband should be closed, and ten thousand people should not be opened." Jianmen Pass and Yumen Pass are known as the two major Xiongguan in the world. ”

At this time, several magic weapons flew from the military camp opposite, and the enlisted monks on them were waving banners, as if they were here to reconnoiter and verify the identities of several people.

Cao Luhua and Lei Bin cast a spell in the air to draw the verification pattern of Asgard, and followed the soldiers into the barracks.

As for Chen Ke, he felt that he would accompany the Xiaoyao Immortal who refused to enter the Great Xia military camp first, and he would go to find the Sword Saint Ah Wei first.

Xiao Lingwei had no choice but to give Chen Ke a summoning jade slip from the Immortal Palace, and asked him to come and join him earlier, because it was dangerous outside.

Xiaoyao Immortal took Chen Ke and flew around this military camp for a long time, which stretched for hundreds of miles. Finally, on a small dirt slope near the Sword Gate, they found the Sword Master, who had arrived first.

There are two other people around the sword saint Ah Wei, a swordsman in white and a girl in green clothes.

"It's not too bad. Seeing Xiaoyao Immortal landing in a hurry, Ah Wei opened his mouth to comfort him.

"Three days ago, the defenders of Jianmen and the army of Great Xia fought a big battle outside the pass, and then the defenders of Jianmen withdrew into the mountain pass. When I arrived, the battle had just ended, and the two armies of Long Xiang and Wuwei had been relatively safe in the past two days, and they had not harassed the surrounding people. ”

"Whew~" Xiaoyao Xian wiped the fine sweat from his fat forehead and let out a long breath. Then he pointed to the white-clothed swordsman and the girl in Tsing Yi and introduced it to Chen Ke.

"This is Senior Brother Chutian and Senior Sister Xiaoxiang. ”

Chen Ke bowed down to greet the two brothers and sisters of Xiaoyao Immortal. The two of them were very cheerful, and the white-clothed swordsman smiled at him, looking at the very young woman in Tsing Yi and giving Chen Ke two pieces of stinky tofu.

It's just that he was a little strange, why hadn't he seen the two senior brothers and sisters of this Xiaoyao Immortal when the Sword Pavilion was talking about the Dao. Sword Venerable Li Qinglian didn't come here either.

"Haha. Xiaoyao Xian seemed to see Chen Ke's confusion, and now he smiled when he dropped a little snack. "What's the matter? Do you think that Li Qinglian alone can make Great Xia taboo our Sword Pavilion, and deliberately let the Immortal Palace swear to each other?"

"The people of my school have always liked to act spontaneously. Eliminate evil and promote good, wander the world, and only follow your own heart. ”

"Therefore, the Sword Venerable of the past dynasties has always been the most quiet and guarded one. In addition to my master, among the brothers and sisters of the same generation in the Sword Pavilion, Li Qinglian and Li Qinglian are all in the Spirit Void Dao realm, and there are even three of them. ”

"I, Senior Brother Chutian and Senior Sister Xiaoxiang, don't like mortal things. If it weren't for my master, who was the first person to cultivate in the Sword Pavilion, he would often be harassed by his master. We also want to wander the rivers and lakes like them, and act chivalrous and righteous. Xiaoyao Immortal Fusu smiled.

Then he suddenly remembered that Chen Ke already knew what he and the Sword Saint had done in Dongyi in the early years. Seeing Chen Ke raise his eyebrows at him, his face was full of teasing and spoofing, signaling him to continue. I had to blush and stop bragging.

At this time, in the army formation of Great Xia, an overwhelming rain of arrows suddenly shot out, rushing towards the cliff of the Qinling Mountains in the distance.

A trumpet sounded, and there were immediately ripples on the cliff, blocking those arrows crackling.

"The temptations in the Great Xia army are becoming more and more frequent. The Sword Saint was between the two armies, looking at this scene and said leisurely. "Although the Sword Gate is towering, the battle three days ago, the Shuchuan defenders are exhausted. In less than a day, he lost tens of thousands of dollars and retreated into the Guanzhong. ”

"I heard that the famous general Ji Zhao of Great Xia is also here. In less than three days, Daxia will once again raise troops to tackle key problems. ”

(In the past two nights, there have been thunderstorms, power outages and network outages, and I described that on the eve of the war, I will also encounter the will of heaven, and the waves will crash on the shore?)
