Chapter 135: Jianling
Hou Bufan and the others walked a long way forward, and after they took down the things on the car and put them into the space, they burned all the dart cars with a fire.
"Second brother, now that you have entered the Burning Sun Empire, everyone must be more careful!"
"Big brother, don't worry! I know how to be measured!"
After Hou Bufan took a few steps forward, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "By the way, big brother, do you know what city is in front of you?"
"I don't know! But, if I'm right! In front of me it's either Shidan or Jianling City!"
"What a strange name! Does it have any special meaning?"
"I heard that many years ago, there was no city here! There were only a few towering mountains, and then I don't know what happened, these mountains not only collapsed, but they also left a small half of the peak. What's even stranger is that all the remaining peaks, almost on the same plane!"
"Tell me more about it!"
"More than a hundred years ago, after the death of the old Emperor Lieyang, several of his sons attacked each other in order to compete for the throne!
The Seven Princes, who were the weakest at that time, used the favorable terrain here to not only defeat the army of the eldest prince and the second prince, but also win the love of the people, and finally ascended to the throne. ”
"I see! Did he later thank the merits of this place and let people build a huge city here?"
"That's right! This is not so much a city as it is! It is the last bulwark of the Empire! As long as it is held here, the enemy cannot threaten the capital. ”
"Oh, I see there's a murderous aura everywhere, is there a lot of troops here?"
"Of the three most elite corps of the empire, there are two here! One is stationed in the city, the other is stationed in the area of the Cangling Mountains not far from here, and the last corps is stationed in the area of the Yellow Mountains! ”
Seeing Hou Bufan's brows furrowed slightly, the Buddha shrine explained: "I know what you're worried about! However, the army here is very friendly, and everyone can really do it: don't close your door at night!"
"There are such places, and you must see and learn when you wait for the meeting!"
After Hou Bufan smiled slightly, he followed the Buddha shrine and walked towards the gate of the West City.
The road into the city is full of tall stone staircases, and there are some high lookouts and some arrow towers to defend against enemies.
Finally came to the outside of the city gate, into the eye is a huge city that can not be seen, the huge city gate is written on two huge words: West Gate!
At the gate of the city, two gates nearly 50 meters wide are connected to the city wall more than 20 meters high, and these walls are all composed of huge strips of stones, each stone may weigh several tons, and it is still four tiled.
"Breathtaking, breathtaking!"
"Don't be emotional! follow me!" The Buddha shrine walked quickly to the city gate, nodded to the guards next to him, recited the Buddha name, and said politely: "Shaolin Buddha shrine, if you have something important to ask to see General Qiao Mao, please pass it on your behalf!"
Hou Bufan hadn't reacted before, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head speechlessly, smirked again, and then stood still.
After waiting quietly for some time, they were led into the city, and walked for nearly half an hour before the leader said, "The general is in front, go over by yourself!"
The shrine said, "Thank you!" and walked quickly forward with them.
"Amitabha! Old General Qiao still remembers the little monk?"
Qiao Mao, who was busy, looked up, was stunned for a moment, then stood up excitedly, and said, "It turns out to be the proud disciple of Master Tianzheng, the little master of the Buddhist shrine!
"General, I have something important to tell you when I came this time, and I ask you to find a safe place!"
Qiao Mao saw that their brows were furrowed, and he knew that something big must have happened, and immediately asked his subordinates to guard the surroundings and opened a secret room.
Hou Bufan was also very interested, and immediately asked his subordinates to guard outside, and he and the Buddha shrine followed Qiao Mao into the secret room.
Along the way, everyone didn't speak, and when they finally arrived at their destination, Qiao Mao said, "Little master, there is something important, you can say something." ”
"Second brother, show it to the general!"
'Hmm!' After a sigh, he pretended to take out a box from his arms and handed it to Qiao Mao.
He didn't reach out to take it, but after a few glances, he asked, "What is this?"
"I don't think General Qiao knows this thing! I don't know, have you heard of the Cow Hair Broken Spirit Needle?"
"What? This is the long-lost Tang Sect's No. 1 secret weapon, the Ox Hair Breaking Spirit Needle?"
However, it's just a needle box, no needles!"
"No, you two are confusing me! That's what you're talking about?"
Hou Bufan arched his hand and said solemnly: "Not long ago, Chang Feng, the head of the Four Seas Dart Company, received a task to escort the needle box, and it happened that we were also involved in this matter!"
Along the way, we were chased and killed by the Tang Gate and the Iron Sword Gate, and the head of the dart was seriously injured. ”
Qiao Mao hadn't paid attention to it before, but the more he heard it, the closer his brows wrinkled, and in the end, his fists were about to pinch blood.
"Brutes! I didn't expect these brutes to appear again, I'm going to kill them, I'm going to kill them!"
His actions, not to mention that Hou Bufan couldn't understand it, even the Buddhist shrine didn't understand, and the two looked at each other for a long time before waiting until Qiao Mao was not so excited.
"Old General Qiao, what's going on?"
"I didn't know how my pioneer battalion died, but today I finally knew! ”
Before the words fell, the majestic old general actually hugged his head and cried, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"Amitabha! relics, the color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true when you want to do it. The relics are the void of all dharmas! they are neither born nor destroyed, neither impurified nor impure, neither increased nor decreased......"
With the help of the Heart Purification Mantra, Qiao Mao finally calmed down, and his faint and sad expression made him look a lot older in an instant.
"Old General Qiao, the deceased is gone!
"Thank you, little master, since this thing has reappeared, say what's the matter with me?"
"Old general, this thing is something ordered by His Majesty, I want to ask the general to send troops to pretend to escort it, and we will take it with us and walk the mountain road!"
This little brother will definitely become a rare general in the future!"
"Hou Bufan, General Xie Jiyan! However, the current matter, please hurry up and do it! We have all encountered a large number of ambushes along the way, and I think the things that will not be easy in the future!"
"Don't worry, whether it's for Your Majesty or for my dead brothers, I will do my best!"
Without further ado, we will set off, and we hope that the general will also make preparations as soon as possible. ”
After Hou Bufan and the Buddha shrine said goodbye, the old general found a very secret route for them for their safety, allowing them to walk at night and day and night.
