Chapter 9: Noon I
The sun rose high and gradually rose in the middle of the heavens.
A hundred miles of grass and trees in the holy capital city have become a forbidden area, and a large number of troops are stationed outside the city, and the city is even more dark with war.
Xiang Lin parted ways with Dragon Boat Festival, Tang Xueluo, Lin Yin, Hai Mingyue and others and returned to the holy capital alone.
His goal was to infiltrate the palace to join Xiang Yu and Geng Tian, but after standing outside the Holy Capital for a while, he changed his mind.
Judging from the information heard so far, the imperial city has not yet fallen, but the holy capital city is already in the hands of the rebels, which is really unpleasant.
The fate of his father and emperor is unknown, tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards were coerced by Qi Longxiang and Xiang Ran to cause chaos, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the princes and princes, were either silent or abusive, and perhaps Tang Yan could completely stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi within three or five days. At that time, don't say that even if Xiang Yi is still alive, whether he can change the situation is between the two. The best outcome may be to transfer troops to the Fengshan camp, which is closest to the Holy Capital City, or even flee to Taiyue Mountain to regroup.
Therefore, Xiang Lin decided not to enter the city for the time being, and changed to Yunzhong Mountain to visit the ghost master first.
The ghost master is not only his own master, but also the first strategist of Da Chu, whose wisdom is as good as the sea temple, and even Fan Jian, the king of Wen, is willing to bow down and be shocked by the heavens.
Now that he is alone, it is useless to rush into the palace, it is better to ask the ghost master for advice. If the master is willing to go out to help, then it would be great.
The plan was set, Xiang Lin disguised himself, took the sheep and stole the order, there were dangers and dangers along the way, and he came to the bottom of Yunzhong Mountain after noon.
As soon as he got close to Yunzhong Mountain, Xiang Lin immediately realized that something was wrong.
The roads leading to Yunzhong Mountain are also set up with checkpoints, but the people guarding the inspection have been replaced by members of the Wiccan Cult.
Xiang Lin was shocked and said: "It's not good, could it be that Tang Yan has already found out the place where the master lives in seclusion, and he wants to go up the mountain to round up!"
If he hadn't been injured, he would probably have single-handedly broken up the mountain. But at this time, considering the injuries on his body, Xiang Lin thought about it and avoided these levels.
Relying on his peerless cultivation and familiarity with the terrain of the mountains in the clouds, he caught two lone witch disciples and interrogated them strictly, only to know that it was indeed led by the two great guardian Dharma kings Dianzhu Yeling and Curse Koi Carp.
Xiang Lin disposed of the two captives and changed into the costume of one of them and hiked up the mountain.
The Xuanyun Five Qi Array on the mountain has all been opened, and the fog and murder are lurking in the bamboo sea.
The night spirit and the koi carp knew the power of the ghost master and did not dare to be greedy for merit, so they were cautious in the mountains and forests, advancing very slowly.
In contrast, Xiang Lin was much faster, and it didn't take long to arrive at Molu, and he saw a group of people guarding outside the bamboo house from a distance, but it was Shi Yifu, Wu Dazhui and Yuan Shishiniang.
What surprised Xiang Lin the most was that Ji Chengche was actually present.
He was stunned, according to the news he got before, Ji Chengche, Xiang Yi and Yu Yu were trapped in the golden soup fire pool together, and life and death were uncertain, how could he appear in Molu now?
Since he is here, where are the father and Yu Yu?
Shi Yifu saw Xiang Yi and said, "Senior brother!"
"Senior brother!" Xiang Lin returned the salute and asked, "Is the master in the house?"
Shi Yifu bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness Cheng Che has retrieved the Heavenly Mandate Chiyan Stone from the Golden Soup Fire Pool, and the master is healing Senior Sister Wang, it will take more than an hour." ”
Xiang Lin heard that Wang Rou was saved, but he would never thank Ji Chengqing for this. If Wang Rou hadn't saved Ji Chengqing, she wouldn't have fallen to this.
He asked Ji Chengche, "When you came back from the Golden Soup Fire Pool, did you see my father?"
Ji Chengche nodded and said, "I saw it." ”
"Where is Father now?"
Ji Chengqing didn't make a sound, Xiang Lin was stunned, and then came to his senses and stopped asking.
Shi Yifu said in a low voice: "Your Highness's condolences are smooth. ”
Xiang Lin shook his head and said coldly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
Although Ji Chengqing and Xiang Lin did not deal with each other, it can be seen that this scene can't help but secretly admire this guy's concentration and calmness.
If there is a chance that another person will pull his neck and want to live or die, complain and blame him for leaving his wings and stealing his life alone.
But Xiang Lin didn't.
So Ji Chengche originally retold the battle of Lingshan, and after listening to Xiang Lin, he didn't say a word, and suddenly bowed respectfully to Ji Chengche to the ground.
Ji Chengche turned sideways and glared and said, "What are you doing?"
Xiang Lin raised his body and said, "The eldest husband has clear grievances, that's all." ”
Ji Chengche said: "You mean, after thanking you, do you want to kill or kill?"
Xiang Lin didn't speak, his eyes were clearly saying yes.
Ji Chengche cried and laughed: "Well, if you really want to reconcile with me, I'm not used to it." Xiang Yi left an edict before he died, and according to the meaning of the edict, you are now the respect of Chu Jun. ”
Xiang Lin's handsome face was neither happy nor angry, and said, "I don't want you to congratulate me." ”
Of course, Ji Chengche understood that succeeding to the throne of the Great Chu Emperor at this moment was not so much a glory for Xiang Lin as a burden for Wan Jun.
He changed the subject and asked, "What about the snowfall?"
Xiang Lin replied: "She went to Lingshan. ”
Ji Cheng's heart was cold, Tang Yan even calculated his mother-in-law, how could he let go of the snowfall. Her return to Lingshan at this time is equivalent to a wolf entering the mouth of a tiger, which is extremely dangerous.
Xiang Lin observed his words and said with a sneer: "Don't worry, she already knows that Tang Yan has a problem." I just thought that you were still trapped in the golden soup fire pool, so I hurried back to Lingshan to save you. ”
Ji Chengche muttered, "This stupid girl!"
Xiang Lin said: "You have a senior brother named Lin Yin, who went to Lingshan with Da Si Ming. ”
"Lin Yin is here?" Ji Chengche perked up, with him and Tang Xue falling together, there was finally a response. Even if he bumped into Tang Yan and Wu Gongzang, with the current situation of those two people, they might not be able to get out.
"You're wrong, though. He's not a brother, I'm me. ”
Xiang Lin snorted, disapproving Ji Chengche's rather childish rebuttal, and said, "Did you see anyone from the witch sect when you went up the mountain?"
Ji Cheng said, "Are you talking about the night spirit and the koi carp?"
Although the witch sect is menacing and powerful this time, but those who can enter the eyes of Ji Chengqing and Xiang Lin are afraid that there are only these two great guardian kings.
Xiang Lin nodded and said, "The master still needs more than an hour, and this bit of work is enough." ”
Ji Chengche laughed, and Yuan Shisi Niang also smiled: "Senior brother, when you didn't come yet, His Royal Highness Chengche discussed this matter with us. ”
Xiang Lin's eyes flashed, and he looked at Yuan Shiniang and Wu Da Hammer and said, "The master promised to re-accept your entry wall?"
Wu Dazhui laughed and said, "It's almost, it's almost." ”
Xiang Lin said: "Okay, let's invite Senior Brother Shi to sit here, and a few of us will go to meet the people of the witch sect." ”
Shi Yifu said: "Senior brother, you just came back, why don't you rest here, and the few demons below will be handed over to the foolish brother." ”
Xiang Lin refused: "My injury is not serious, not to mention that there is a Xuanyun Five Qi Array, and there is no need to bother Senior Brother to deal with a few clowns who jump off the beam." ”
Shi Yifu thought for a while and said, "The person who is most familiar with the magic circle here is me. Senior Sister Yuan, you and Senior Brother Wu will leave the Dharma Protector, and I will accompany Senior Brother Xiang and His Royal Highness Cheng Che into the battle!"
Although he has abandoned his official position and escaped from the world, he was also one of the five doctors of Chu in his early years, and he and Xiang Yi have both the righteousness of monarchs and ministers and the feelings of comrades. Now that the national crisis is at hand, Shi Yifu hates the witch cult and Tang Yan to the core.
Where is Wu Da Hammer willing to follow, straightening his neck and shouting: "Then how can it be done, if you don't let me kill the thief, you will suffocate me to death!"
Shi Yifu said with a cold face: "Senior brother's words, do you dare to listen to them?!"
Wu Da Hammer hit the fire upwards and wanted to say "Registered ones are also counted?" Yuan Shi Niang pulled his cuffs and said, "Yes, we all listen to Senior Brother!"
Wu Dazhui snorted angrily, and he also knew that this registered senior brother had more face than his former junior brother who was looking at the aftermath in front of Shizun and Xiang Lin.
The soldiers were divided into two ways, Ji Chengqing, Xiang Lin and Shi Yifu went down the mountain to block the invading enemy of the witch sect, and Yuan Shiniang and Wu Da Hammer stayed in Molu to protect the ghost master.
Shi Yifu took the lead in entering the Xuanyun Five Qi Array, and Ji Chengche and Xiang Lin formed a corner on the left and right.
With the help of the formation, the three of them unknowingly approached the place, and saw that more than 20 witch cult masters led by koi carp and night spirits were slowly advancing up the mountain.
Shi Yifu observed Xu Yu and said, "When the night spirit and the koi fish get close to Yunying's qi hole, I will launch a formation to divide and conquer and break up this group first." ”
Xiang Lin said indifferently: "This group of demons is innocent, so there is no need for his subordinates to show mercy!"
Ji Chengche said: "Don't hurt the koi." ”
Shi Yifu promised: "Okay, the koi carp will be handed over to you, and the night spirit will be mine." ”
The cultivation of these two Guardian Dharma Kings has reached the realm of transcendence, and he is afraid that Xiang Lin's injuries will not heal and he will be eager for revenge, so he preemptively took them down.
Sure enough, Xiang Linmu said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter, whoever meets it first is counted." ”
After a few words, the night spirit and the koi carp had already led a group of witch sect masters to gradually enter the Yunying Qi Cave in the array.
The so-called Yunying Qi Cave is one of the five major formation methods of the Xuanyun Five Qi Array, Shi Yifu saw the opportunity to urge the secret key of the magic array, only to see that the jade Jue hidden in the palm of his hand suddenly flashed and released a five-colored cloud qi, and in an instant, the surrounding scenery rotated and drummed like a floating light, and the bamboo cultivation was twisted and deformed and shifted its position, and the entire void was also flooded with mysterious ripples.
Sensing the change in the formation, the witch cultists in the formation shouted vigilantly, and quickly gathered to move closer to the koi carp and the night spirit.
However, the strange thing is that this group of people is obviously close to each other and within easy reach, but they can't take the last step, they only feel that the people around them are constantly spinning like marquees, and then they are separated by the boundless cultivation of bamboo, and the clouds are rolling and never disappearing again.
