Chapter Seventy-Seven: Observing the Situation
With such a big movement, even Mr. Liang and Liu Weng, who were on the riverside, could already feel the shaking of the embankment under their feet.
Mr. Liang looked at the rising white smoke in the distance, and his heart sank, and he secretly said that it was not good.
"It's not good! Maoshan took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the academy and plotted against Brother Gu. Brother Liu, come with me to the academy to have a look. Ignoring the wine and meat on the table, the bustling three hundred people hurriedly rushed to the academy.
The closer he got to the College, the more uneasy Mr. Leung became. Even Liu Weng felt that something was wrong, and the pedestrians on the road avoided all the Confucian trips when they saw him, as if they were afraid that something would happen to him, and his eyes were all afraid or sneering.
At a glance, there are still the familiar bluestone bridges and academies of the Xiyan River in front of you. As far as the eye can see, there is a flat land, and all the plants and trees have been uprooted, revealing yellow-brown soil.
There was a very comfortable smell in the air, but this comfort was the most provocative and mocking of Chiguo.
"Aura!" Mr. Liang gritted his teeth, he was very familiar with this kind of aura, and he often added some spiritual objects at home to nourish his body on weekdays, but now he hated this aura so much. "Maoshan! What a Maoshan! This is blatant revenge on Confucianism!"
Liu Weng empathizes, he and Mr. Liang are classmates and friends, and they are in the same period of the palace examination, and their personal relationship is very good. Confucian affairs have always been both prosperous and lossy, and he has never heard of it since he opened his mind, and a monk dared to destroy a academy and murder a Confucian sage.
Although the three hundred scholars behind him are private school teachers from all over the world, they are all from Jingzhou Academy, and now when they see the destruction of the academy, they are also full of righteous indignation, and they can't wait to go straight to Maoshan now to avenge their classmates.
When Liu Weng first arrived in Jiangcheng, he didn't know what the situation was, and before Mr. Liang finished his lecture at the banquet, the academy suffered a catastrophe. Liu Weng was puzzled: "Maoshan is so unconscionable, isn't it afraid of hurting the people and causing humanitarian dissatisfaction!"
Mr. Liang's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Maoshan wants Jing Chu incense, and he will definitely form an alliance with He Pan, if it weren't for the prefect's order, how could the surrounding people evacuate in advance!"
"That Brother Gu......" Thinking of Gu Xizhi, Liu Weng's heart couldn't help but tremble. He and Gu Xizhi are not very familiar with each other, but the name of Gu Xizhi's Wensheng is the joint operation of Guozijian and Tai Academy. created a saint as a Confucian hole card, but now decades of hard work have been destroyed in this dynasty, which makes Liu Weng can't help but regret it.
Mr. Liang frowned and said, "How can Confucian planning be anticlimactic because of the fall of Wen Sheng. Without further ado, the late one will change. The holy purpose is in hand, and more than half of the families of Jing Chu follow, and we already have the victory in hand. It is better to go directly to Jiangcheng to announce the holy decree and give He Pan an official position. ”
~~
"Brother Gu, who are you?" Zhou Bai said in surprise as he looked at Gu Xizhi who came out of the ghost gate.
Gu Xizhi picked up the warm rice wine on the table, tasted it a little, and tasted "It's really good wine." He took out a ghost-faced token in his arms, and the word 'Lu' flashed in front of Zhou Bai's eyes.
"Lu Ju's life card!" Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that when he and Hongyu left Yin Si, he returned the two life cards to Shen Ju. But why did it appear in the hands of Gu Xizhi?
Gu Xizhi smiled and said: "On the day you left Lingyang, Lu Ju was entrusted by Lao Shen to go to Jiangcheng and sent me a life card for the purpose of escaping the robbery." Now although he has taken the opportunity to cheat his death, he has escaped the control of Confucianism but is involved in cause and effect with Yin Si, I really don't know whether it is good or bad. ”
The three of them sat on the riverbank, and Gu Xizhi told Zhou Bai about the situation in Jiangcheng.
When he learned that Gu Xi ordered the destruction of the Chu family, Zhou Bai couldn't help but glance up at him, and Gu Xi felt something, so he chuckled and said, "Since I owe Confucianism cause and effect, I should take Confucianism first." The Chu family is in the game, but they are wavering, and they are reluctant to take sides, even if I don't make a move, He Pan will give an order. ”
Zhou Bai suddenly felt that Gu Xizhi was close to Shen Juan and him, and he was generous and gentle on weekdays, but it was only this side he saw. The real him and Zhou Bai are completely different, Zhou Bai didn't talk about killing people in his previous life, and even fighting was rarely bloody, and Gu Xizhi was already in troubled times, and after the dismissal, he traveled all over the world, if it weren't for his tenacity and decisiveness, I'm afraid he would have fallen in a wilderness town somewhere in Daliang.
Zhou Bai is not a, and he won't say anything like why they are innocent and want to kill them. In this life, his hands have gradually begun to be stained with blood, and he has seen countless novels, films and television plots, and he deeply knows a truth, eliminate hidden dangers and cut the roots. If he had taken care of it, he would have made the same choice at that time.
Although the three of them did not have the method of seeing and hearing from afar, they also knew the art of looking at qi, and when they looked up, they saw that the tiger transformed by the local official was entrenched on the Jiangcheng, and the sharp claws poked out of the city to cover the ruins of Jingzhou Academy.
And a group of cultural qi turned python into Jiao, although the appearance is slightly sluggish, but it is constantly swallowing the breath of the true dragon, and the holy decree in the box turns into a ball of golden light, like a dragon ball, nourishing its injured spirit in the claws of the white Jiao.
When the dragon and tiger meet, it is the time of battle. The stars are everywhere in Jingchu, either merging into the tiger spirit or following the Jiao body.
Zhou Bai said: "The giant python has just turned into a dragon, even if it has the help of dragon qi, how can it be against this deep-rooted tiger." As he spoke, he looked at Gu Xizhi with a calm face.
Gu Xizhi smiled and said, "Even if someone acts for the tiger, but the ghosts are just dry bones in the mound." Jiao has a dragon posture and has a chance to win, and when the ghost is afraid, this tiger is just a sick cat. ”
Afraid? Zhou Bai looked at the military camp next to him with Gu Xizhi's gaze, and then he suddenly realized. No wonder Liu Weng knew that there were 3,000 Xuanjia garrisons on the north bank, but he still insisted on going south.
Sure enough, with the sound of war drums, the door of the Xuanjia military camp opened, and after three thousand Xuanjia followed General Zuo in battle armor, they stepped on the warship that had been prepared for a long time.
The expedition was imminent, and General Zuo was inconvenient to come forward to say goodbye to Zhou Bai, but he saw the three people sitting in front of the wooden house from the bow of the boat.
The three of them, General Zuo was curious, and the secret post did not find anyone else in Zhou Bai's residence until noon today.
Who is this person? Vaguely, his gaze seemed to be caught by that person, and although he couldn't see it, General Zuo felt the other party's gentle smile and a glass of turbid wine that toasted him.
The armor is black, and the morale is like a black cloud pressing down on the city, sweeping everything with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, and appearing above the dragon and tiger.
Zhou Bai said: "He Pan's luck began to dissipate. "The ghosts surrounding the tiger gradually dispersed with the black clouds at the top. And although Jiaolong's luck has not declined, his expression has become more and more anxious.
"When the black clouds crush down, and the dragon can't bear the fruit, then Confucianism will be defeated. Zhou Bai shook his head and said.
Gu Xizhi's face was calm, and this matter had nothing to do with him. Only after the cause and effect of Jingzhou Academy is over, he can truly retire.
Hongyu asked, "Why don't you see the Maoshan forces?"
Gu Xizhi chuckled when he heard this, "Maoshan's goal has been achieved, I'm afraid he is also sitting and watching Jiangcheng's affairs like us." Seeing that Hongyu was still puzzled, Zhou Bai shook his head and explained, "Maoshan moved the dojo and recuperated for thousands of years before it was able to restore the leylines, plus the sale of spirit runes has been interrupted by us. How can there be any extra aura to support the disciples, and how can they participate in such filth for such a reason. ”
The half of the black mountain stone in his hand was still exuding rotten and unpleasant karma, and Zhou Bai said seriously: "A thousand-year-old hatred, how can Maoshan be a great sect of Taoism and give up! Revenge in the name of missionary service is its real purpose." ”
Gu Xizhi was suddenly stunned, the inexplicable light in his eyes flashed, and the pottery bowl he picked up was gently put down.
Xiang Zhou Bai Hongyu smiled and said, "For my brother, I still have a private matter to deal with, so I will leave for a while." ”
Leaning back, a black vortex appeared from behind before it landed on the grass.
Zhou Bai stared blankly at the disappearing whirlpool and Gu Xizhi.
This...... Can the ghost gate still be used like this?
