The next day, in the morning.

Northern Regions, Shouchun.

Crowds of people, cars and horses like carp, crowded inside and outside the town, but orderly. Inside the city are merchant horses, and outside the city are war horses. The iron armor outside the city does not enter the city for half a step, and the residents of the city are not afraid of the soldiers with swords, and everything is harmonious, not much worse than usual. It's just that when I chatted about melon seeds, I was more involved and more excited.

After all, last night's events were too confusing.

You can't tell you clearly, I don't understand, but there are different opinions.

There are 100 guards at the two gates in the northwest of Shouchun City, which are temporarily not allowed for the people to enter and exit, and the officers and soldiers also need to be strictly checked before they can pass, and the people in the rivers and lakes are even blocked out of the city pass.

At the other end of the city pass, there is the Shoushan Mountain Range, and the defenders here are even tighter. At first glance, there are as many as a dozen red armor and black guns, green clothes embroidered spring, black robes and brocade clothes, and just a dozen troops. The two mountain passes in the southwest are all white-edged knives and guns for half a mile, and one person is surrounded by a person in a radius of more than ten miles and five steps, and the garrison is so tight that it doesn't matter whether flies can fly over for the time being, but it is impossible for a living person to sneak into it.

Climb the peak and look far away.

Overnight, the green hills were gone, and the tide and fog were gone. Thousands of miles of Shou Mountain's lush forests melt thousands of miles of loess dust, like a desert dried by the scorching sun, layer by layer, making people's lips dry, eager to pour a pot of ice water immediately. The dust is drifting, the atmosphere is dead and silent, there is no life for thousands of miles, only the sparse figures walk silently with knives and guns, and from time to time there are a few exclamations from the fast horses galloping, and from time to time the birds fly high across the sky.

Go straight to hundreds of miles, the core area of the Shoushan Mountains.

The earth-destroying power contained in the scorching sun last night was displayed here to the extreme. The majestic mountains and mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles were razed to the ground, the core sixty miles was twisted into a funnel shape and plunged deep into the earth, the sea of corpses was burned for more than ten miles, there were still some remnants of charred black flesh and bones, the two purple bones that had been drained of water were particularly conspicuous, and what was even more conspicuous was the broken altar left in the center...

The horses galloped and chattered.

"Report! The Shenji Battalion has returned, the Ming Array is indeed Tiangang Nuyang, the auxiliary array is temporarily unknown, and there are more than 340 places within a radius of 100 miles, all of which are hidden in secret hands. ”

"Report! The retreat camp confirmed that this side was indeed the Sixiang Mountain, and there were traces of the formation. It cannot be ruled out that there were two formation divisions fighting. ”

"Report! Shouchun City Mansion Letter Newspaper confirmed that one of the corpses was identified as Mao Cha, the capital of Hezhou Prefecture, who had died in Yueyang twenty years ago in the middle of the king's reign. ”

"Report! The Heavenly Elephant Pavilion replied, and it was confirmed that the remaining broken bones all had traces of the Maoshan Corpse Refining Vein Technique, and there had been a corpse refining and gathering array within a radius of sixty miles, and the specific formation technique could not be confirmed for the time being due to the vague traces. ”

"Report! The Shenji Battalion petitioned, because none of the Tiangang Nuyang arrays had found the location of the arrays, and it was suspected that the people who arranged the formations only used Dao talismans to place the arrays, so they requested that all battalions of Shenji military divisions be dispatched to come for review. ”

"Exactly. ”

"Newspaper! A letter from the West Yamen of Shouchun said that two old men bought a large amount of jute shou paper in Fuluzhuang eight days ago. The letter contained paper samples, which were compared and confirmed to be the same type of paper after incineration. ”

"Report! After the arithmetic masters reviewed and deduced, there was a lost secret method of the Tianshui Sect that was used here, and it was suspected that the power of the saint was great. ”

The Shangfeng army returned and traced to the northwest mountain range 3,000 miles away, but the clues were suddenly interrupted, and the initial suspect was that there were six people who had hit and run, five of whom had gone north and one had infiltrated Yuhua County. ”

“......”

The sound is endless, like the boredom in the desert, and it is boring to hear.

There were several people standing on the altar, all of them middle-aged men. From the way they wore battle armor and the frequent reports of the sergeants under the altar, it can be seen that they were high-ranking generals from different military ranks. The horrific reports came one after another, and their faces were almost blue to the bottom of a charred pot. And the most irritating thing is that there is such a big case, as the nearest garrison of the Shoushan Mountain Range, they have not found a trace of conclusive evidence to clarify the identity of the perpetrator.

Moreover, judging from the current clues, this incident can basically be concluded to be closely related to the shocking war twenty years ago. As long as it can be connected with that war, it is never necessary to have a disaster...

"Interesting..."

"Hundreds of miles of chaotic feng shui, refining and breaking dragons for decades, Shouchun City is next door and unaware of it. Hehe, that's interesting. ”

The words were sharp, and the speaker was a bearded general in red armor. Although it was harsh, his face was not very pretty.

"Humph!"

The Huang Tie Armored General standing in the middle of a few people also had a sad face, and the knot in his eyes was almost about to be eaten alive, he snorted viciously and shouted: "Shouchun is close, but Yuhua County is not far away. If the top of the case is blamed, do you think you can still wear this tiger skin? What kind of cool things are you talking about here?"

"Heh, you don't have to worry about that. The bearded general looked at the speaker sneeringly: "The Shoushan Mountain Range belongs to the boundary of Shouchun, and it has been under the jurisdiction of your Shouchun Shoufu for all years, although my Yuhua County Mansion borders the corners, but I have no right to intervene in all matters." You want to throw on me? No way!"

"Hey... You all have to save your breath. ”

In the third row on the right, there was an older old general, with a gray beard hanging on his face like a veil, and he sighed bitterly and persuaded the two: "Dali is right, this case is not trivial." Judging from the current clues, a hundred miles of feng shui, the secret art of the saints, and the refining of corpses and dragons, all of them are enough for us to be dismissed and imprisoned, and they are all together? ”

"Confession?"

The bearded general disagreed: "Old General Mo, what you said is quite light, a radius of 100 miles has been burned down, there is no evidence and only speculation, how can you arrest people, and if you can't catch people, where will you get the explanation?

The old general shook his head: "That's not entirely the case. ”

The cloudy and misty eyes seemed to have an idea, and the old general sorted out his thoughts for a moment and then said: "I think there are still some clues, Tiangang Angry Yang is a pure yang demon array, Feng Shui breaks the dragon, refining corpses and cultivating evil, and it is the Great Technique of the Western Regions, there must be some inevitable relationship between the two, we only need to grope down in this direction, and we will definitely find some threads." ”

As the old general spoke, the eyes of a relatively young blue-robed general beside him suddenly lit up, as if he had felt something.

"Hearing the old general say this, I thought of something. ”

"What do you have in mind?" asked the old general.

The young general continued: "I think this Fang Tiangang is angry, it's really amazing. There are more than 300 bases within a radius of 100 miles, and the bright array hides the dark array, and the project can be described as huge. If the letter of Shouchun and Shangfeng is correct, there will be no more than six people who will arrange this large array, and it will only take seven days, and only the Dao symbols that are temporarily painted will be used. In such a short period of time, with the strength of just a few people and rough paper, such a Tiangang Fuyang with a power comparable to the Shouchun Defending City Array was arranged, and the difficulty was conceivable. Looking at the whole world, I am afraid that only a few great array masters in the Kyoto Stargazing Tower have this ability. ”

"Do you suspect that they did it?" asked the yellow-clothed general.

The young general shook his head: "No, on the contrary, I am definitely not them. ”

The bearded general grinned contemptuously: "It's not for them, why are you still talking so much nonsense, are you showing off your own ability?"

The young military general was embarrassed, but he was not angry.

He paused and then said, "I just have something to say, and I don't have anything else in mind." The so-called art has a specialty, and although the great array masters in the Kyoto Stargazing Tower have this ability, they are limited to the formation techniques they are good at. Tiangang Fury Yang is a pure yang demon subduing array, and those who can use it so superbly, I think there is only the power of pure yang. ”

"You're right, but I'm afraid you're wrong. ”

The old general did not seem to agree with the young general's statement, and said: "In the first battle of that year, the elite of the Pure Yang Bagua Vein was exhausted, and its formation division was arranged in the rear of the army as a killing weapon to suppress the array, but at the beginning of the war, it was ambushed and encircled by the great strategist, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army. Since then, the vitality of the Pure Yang Heavenly Dao Palace has been greatly damaged, and it has not been able to recover so far. Even if the younger generations have a heavenly posture, they are still young, and they definitely can't make this Tiangang. If there is, it can only be the divine arithmetic in the Taishang Palace. Do you want to say it's him?"

The young general shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How could that person make a move." ”

The old general said: "In this way, there will be no one to plan for Chunyang." ”

"So, I remembered my predecessors. ”

"Oh?" said the old general's eyes.

The young general swept over the few people here in a blink of an eye, clasped his fists with both hands and asked humbly: "All the generals are my leaders, and I was too young to see it with my own eyes in the First World War, so many things can only be hearsay, please forgive me if there are any mistakes." Do you ever remember that at the end of the First World War, a woman who suddenly appeared next to the killing god is said to be the first person in the formation technique of the Pure Yang contemporary Bagua Vein, and his cultivation is mediocre, and his realm is not the apocalypse, but he can use a piece of Dao talisman to use the ability of thousands of troops, and he can be called the first formation genius in the world. ”

"Formation Master-Li Xiaohua. ”

The former asked, and everyone rose.

A name, invariably, blurted out.

A generation of Tianjiao, who can not know it?

Who could follow that killing god in the first battle back then was not a person from the past and the present? Not to mention, it was the female formation master who had attracted the attention of the world...

Although, she is already dead.

Li Xiaohua, the name of the pinnacle of formation art that was once suppressed in an era. She studied under the Taoist ancestor Chunyang, born in the era of geniuses and ruthless people, the two suns in the pure yang sky can not completely cover her light, so she is known as the third genius of pure yang.

Back then, the immortals rained down thunder to punish the heavenly calamity, and the big knife of the Huang family in Kyoto wanted to compete with it, but it was finally shattered. At the life-and-death juncture of the Nine Heavens Furious Thunder, it was this legendary woman who used the power of the Apocalypse Realm to sacrifice one hundred and eight paper true dragon white talismans to arrange the Pure Yang First Attack Great Technique, and block a vital ray of thunder tribulation for the killing god. Although, she also died because of this. But with the Heavenly Apocalypse Heavenly Man, from the level of realm transcendence, what she did far exceeded all the miracles that the other two geniuses of the Pure Yang Palace had ever created...

"Report!"

Memories haunt memories...

An urgent report cut off the thoughts of several wisps of memory.

A herald sergeant in a blue robe and steel armor galloped from a distance on a fast horse. Before anyone arrived, the voice came first: "There is an urgent report from the defenders at the west intersection of Shoushan Mountain, and Qin Ming, the left general of Tiance Mansion, has led an army of 120,000 into the Shoushan territory. ”

"Tsk, it's coming so fast..."

When the yellow-clothed general heard this, his face was even more sad.

The general next to him was not much better, his fierce eyes rolled for a few weeks, and he calculated and said: "Come on, 120,000 horses and horses marched hundreds of thousands of miles in one night, I'm afraid they are coming to Xingshi to ask for guilt." Hehe, that's interesting. ”

"Don't blame him for being nervous, after all, the situation in the Southern Regions has not been optimistic recently, and the Tiance Army will bear the brunt of the war. They're afraid, too..."

"Da Da Da!!"

As soon as the words fell, a hundred miles away from the hills stirred up rolling yellow dust, which looked like a storm of sand and dust that was about to sweep away. The sound of horses' hooves falling like gravel to the ground grew louder and louder. It didn't take long for a menacing group of men and horses to emerge from the yellow dust. Standing up to an eight-foot red tassel gun, wearing a dragon and tiger jasper steel helmet, wearing a hundred refined armor of Xuangang, riding a bloody and sweaty war horse. Hurried like the wind, running like thunder, the horse stepping on a hundred and ten zhang distance, ten thousand horses galloping and raising several miles of yellow dust, that one is called domineering!

"Royal..."

"Gogo..."

Dozens of breaths are not much, galloping for hundreds of miles.

The vast iron rider tightened the reins, and his hooves stopped two miles away from the altar. He rode two miles alone and came to the altar. The general's eyes were like eagles, and he was wearing a black steel armor and a black cloak, making his not very strong body look iron-blooded and tough. The visitor sat on the horse, first glanced at the generals on the altar, and then clasped his fists and saluted: "Colleagues, don't come unharmed." ”

"General Qin, don't come unharmed. The generals on the stage returned the salute again.

Immediately, the general immediately got to the point: "Tiance Mansion was ordered to take over the case, and it took half a day to clear the scene and hand it over, and no one was allowed to take away the evidence here without authorization. ”

“......”

The words are straight and sonorous, revealing an unquestionable atmosphere, which makes people very uncomfortable to listen to. However, at this time, the listener is more strange, because it is because of the Taishang Dao. Tiance Mansion is the first group army in the southern boundary of the northern region of the Tang Dynasty, directly under the command of the big * machine, the so-called generals are not subject to the orders of foreign monarchs, they have the highest command in wartime, and all people can be cut first and then played at very moments. It is reasonable for them to accept and examine such a big case. But it stands to reason that Tiance Mansion has to be held accountable for the case, even if it gives face, scolding and questioning are inevitable. But right now, General Qin is about to retreat from the forces of various armies without saying a word, and it seems that he wants to take on the case alone, which makes people very incomprehensible.

The old general pondered for a moment, then clenched his fists and asked cautiously, "May I ask General Qin to come this time, can he bring a military secret letter?"

General Qin looked at the speaker, Jun Su's expression seemed to have a trace of contempt, and said, "This matter has not yet been reported to Kyoto. ”

When the yellow-clothed general heard this, his sadness eased slightly.

He clenched his fists and padded to the sky, and said solemnly: "General Qin, it's not that Ai doesn't go to the Tao. It's just that you and I are both ministers guarding the frontier, and we are under the orders of the Son of Heaven, so we should know the laws and regulations of the military machine. This is the boundary of Shouchun, which is under the jurisdiction of Shouchun City Government, and if there is no Kyoto official document, Mo will never dare to take power without authorization. Please also ask General Qin's forgiveness. ”

Silently laughed, the corners of his mouth were cold, and the contempt on General Qin's face was instantly revealed. At the moment, he couldn't be clearer about what calculations this Shouchun City guard had in his heart, it was nothing more than trying to delay time, so as to open the joints as soon as possible, and deal with the clues that were unfavorable to him here, so as to protect the black veil on his head.

People rise and fall in officialdom, and the methods of the city government are all taken for granted...

"Don't worry, since Qin is here, he won't make it difficult for you. ”

General Qin said, untied a gold lacquer token from his waist, and raised his palm over his shoulder.

"The general Hu Fu is here, and from now on, this case will be investigated and handled by the Tiance Mansion, and if there is any violation of the order, it will be punished as a military crime. If there is any disobedience, it will be decided!"

“......”
