20. Heaven-sent marriage

Zuo Liangyu's troops came out of the Bazhong Hills and immediately went to the Sword Pavilion, intending to recapture it as a place to guard. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info passed through ten villages and nine empty villages along the way, and there were no people, thinking that the villagers had been bewitched by Zhang Xianzhong and went to Bazhong to help him fight.

The left army came to the county seat of Jiange, and Manyi encountered fierce resistance, but the process went unexpectedly smoothly. As soon as the defenders of Jiange County heard that it was actually the imperial army, they immediately opened the city to greet them, so the left army drove into Jiange County unimpeded and stationed there.

Zuo Liangyu inquired in detail about the generals defending the city, only to learn that Zhang Xianzhong did not come to the Sword Pavilion at all, but took away all the food of the villagers near the Sword Pavilion, leaving only a lonely city for the defenders of Sword Pavilion County. The defenders held on to the Sword Pavilion for a month, for fear that they would encounter Zhang Xianzhong when they left the city, so they did not dare to leave the city too far until they ran out of ammunition and food, and almost ate people. Fortunately, the left army came to solve their urgent need.

Zuo Liangyu was greatly moved when he heard this, and immediately ordered that the rations collected along the way be distributed, and the defenders had a full meal, thanked Zuo Liangyu, and expressed their willingness to obey Zuo Liangyu's command and help him deal with Zhang Xianzhong.

Zuo Liangyu settled down in Jiange County, reinforcing the city wall on one side and cultivating the fields on the other. And sent a messenger, quickly horseback, through the sword pavilion plank road, to Xi'an, to ask for help from the Shaanxi general army.

Lu Guanzhong and Xiao Bei spent their internal strength to heal the wounds of the messengers. Since all the executive envoys were injured in the hands of Bodhidharma, Xiao Lu and the others did their best to help them stabilize their injuries, and if they wanted everyone to be as good as ever, they would be powerless.

Another week later, the spies sent by Zuo Liangyu came to report, saying that Zhang Xianzhong led the army to besiege Chengdu, but fortunately Yang Tianchen and Qin Liangyu led the army to help, so that Zhang Xianzhong retreated. However, on the way to pursue Zhang Xianzhong, they encountered a large number of believers in the Seven Killing Divine Monarchs, and Yang Tianchen and Qin Liangyu did not want to kill, so they had to retreat and return to Chengdu to defend the palace.

Zuo Liangyu hurriedly summoned Xiao Zhilu Guan Zhong to discuss, and the three of them felt that Zhang Xianzhong's approach was simply impeccable, if the Seven Killing God Cultists were wiped out, then Zhang Xianzhong would be able to become the real Seven Killing God Monarch. And if these believers are left alone, then Zhang Xianzhong will have no fear and be invincible. After discussing for a long time, the three of them were helpless, and Zuo Liangyu could only announce the dismissal of the meeting, leaving this problem for tomorrow's discussion.

Just as Xiao Lu and the others were sighing for a long time on the road, and their mood was solemn, suddenly a faint sigh sounded from the side, and then a woman's voice said: "The reason why Huaiyin Hou is like this, I am the culprit, so let me help you, how about it?"

Xiao Lu and the others were in a depressed mood, so they didn't notice that there were other people beside them, and when they heard this, they were startled, and they hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see a beautiful Taoist girl with first-born antlers standing aside, with a sad expression, it was Snow Lotus.

"Xuelian, why are you here, my brother-in-law?" Xiao Jie hurriedly asked.

"I'm here. A small voice came from the corner, and Xiao Lu and the others followed the voice, only to see a person emerging from the bushes beside them, his body was painted green, his face was covered with leaves, and his appearance was extremely strange.

Before Xiao Lu and the others could react, they heard Xue Lian let out a scream: "Quandan, I have been chasing you for two months, are you finally willing to show up?"

Xiao Jie looked at it carefully, and finally saw that this strange person was Zhang Zhinan, and said happily: "Brother Yi, how did you get here?"

Zhang Zhinan showed a generous look on his face, and sighed to the sky: "I have been pretending to be easy to follow you. It wasn't until Snow Lotus appeared just now that I thought that I could escape the first day of junior high and not be able to escape fifteen, so it was better to make a break and show my original form. ”

Xue Lianfei rushed forward, pinched Zhang Zhinan's ears, and said, "I knew that I would be able to find you with your brother-in-law, as expected, now see where you will flee?"

Zhang Zhinan cried out in pain and said, "Light...... Everything is negotiable...... Besides, since I chose to show up, I don't plan to run away anymore. ”

Xue Lian showed a satisfied look, relaxed her hand, and said, "You can't escape if you want to!"

Xiao Yi frowned and said: "Two, this is in the public, are you so flirting and scolding, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"

Lu Guanzhong also scolded: "Snow Lotus, your old lover Huaiyin Hou has turned the world upside down in Sichuan at the moment, although you have empathized with other lovers, but it is better to stop him from doing evil, and it is not too late to come and talk to my uncle about love." ”

Xue Lian's face showed a sad look, and she hesitated and said, "I...... I didn't empathize with Han Shin, and I still love Han Shin deeply...... But...... Now he has been robbed of his mind by the Sword Screaming Palace, and he is like two people with my husband. I don't want to see him go on like this, I want to be relieved of his suffering, so that his true spirit can return to the source of all things. ”

"What happened to Han Xin, how did he become what he is now?" Xiao Bei asked.

Xue Lian said sadly: "The wall here has ears, let's talk about it in another place." With that, she summoned a large amount of purple qi and surrounded the four of them, and then she meditated cross-legged, and after a while, things changed, and the four of them had come to the top of a towering mountain, and there was no one around, silent. Xiao Jie and the others knew that this was the technique of snow lotus handling, and they were not surprised.

Hearing Xue Lian said slowly: "After I got acquainted with Han Xin, I had to be introduced by him and joined Liu Bang's command. Because I am a woman, it is inconvenient for me to show my head, so I live behind the scenes, and secretly use the Fuxi hexagram technique to divinate Liu Bang. ”

"The sixty-four hexagrams of Fuxi are so magical, they are almost all right. Liu Bang originally had three wizards, Xiao He, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang, plus I helped from the side, and it was almost difficult to meet opponents. Within a few years, he had faintly fought against Xiang Yu, and the two tigers had become a battle. ”

"Liu Bang is not handsome in this life, and it can even be said to be a little obscene. But after getting along with him for a long time, you will find that he has his own charm, coupled with his own luck, which can attract talented people to help him. I once used the Fuxi hexagram to calculate for him, knowing that he was born with the luck of heaven and earth, and he can always turn evil into good fortune when encountering trouble, and there will be blessings after the catastrophe. I want to accumulate merit and achieve immortal body, and he is undoubtedly the only person, so I treat him as if he were my own child, and I have protected him and saved his life several times. ”

At the same time, Han Xin also grew up rapidly in the experience of war, and he had extremely high attainments in martial arts, the art of war, and the true spirit. Even the invincible Xiang Yu has been repeatedly defeated by him, he and I are both close to the body of an immortal, each other has a soul, plus get along day and night, several times three times together to live and die together. Gradually, he admired him, and then his feelings secretly grew, but Han Xin was single-minded, and he only wanted to help King Han seize the world, and he had no personal feelings for his children. I also knew that such distracting thoughts were not conducive to my enlightenment, so I suppressed myself and never mentioned them. ”

"Liu Bang, the king of Han, sensed my thoughts, and in order to win people's hearts, he hinted to me and Han Xin that he wanted to marry us. But Han Xin refused again and again, saying that he respected me like a heavenly man, and he would never dare to be abrupt, and he had no intention of being a family because he had not achieved his work. I was arrogant, and I was deeply disappointed by Han Xin's desperation, and I would never be pitied, and I was also sternly refused. ”

And so the marriage was done. Since then, I have never pretended to Han Xin, and even when he greets me, I will take it coldly. ”

"But in fact, I have a deep roots in Han Xinqing, and the more I suppress this emotion, the stronger this emotion becomes, and later, my Fuxi Sixty-four Hexagram Technique has also been deeply affected, so that I can't use it. ”

"I didn't think at the time, I was repeating the same mistakes. It was my constant deception to my heart, not daring to be honest with my emotions, that separated me from my own brother hundreds of years ago. And now it is this kind of self-deception that makes me and Han Xin drift apart and become strangers. ”

"I lost my supernatural powers, so I became more and more depressed, lived in isolation, and no longer offered advice to the king of Han. But at this time, the general trend of the world was decided, and the king of Han began to suppress the heroes, and my actions made him feel at ease, and he rewarded me with great rewards and built my mansion like a palace. I just said that he didn't forget the old love and was very grateful to him. ”

At this time, Han Xin was already the king of Chu, under one person, above ten thousand. No, if you talk about his status in the army alone, Liu Bang can only be under Han Xin. He is the undisputed god of war and an invincible overlord. ”

"I hated Han Xin very much, he rejected Liu Bang's marriage, and ruined my supernatural powers, which made my dream of becoming an immortal and seeking Taoism out of reach. But I have nothing to do with him, and now he is a very popular minister, and I have no one to care about, so I can only be like a concubine who has been beaten into the cold palace, while secretly cursing Han Xin, while feeling sorry for myself. ”

"Just as I was sinking day by day, I was pleasantly surprised by the arrival of an uninvited guest and rekindled my hope. ”

"That's my long-missing brother, the ancestor of Taoism, Lao Dan. ”

"That day, I was deducing the 64 hexagrams of Fuxi, when suddenly a hurricane blew, and the hexagrams were in chaos. Then things changed, and I came to a vast starry sky, and in front of me stood a person, with a beautiful face and clear eyes, just like the old man when he was young. ”

"I was overjoyed, I couldn't suppress my excitement, and I immediately wanted to throw myself into his arms, but it was just an old shadow, I fell into the air, and I was lost in my heart, but I heard him say: 'Sister, I have already practiced the immortal soul, and now the true spirit has returned to the source of all things, although there is still a wisp of remnant soul, but at this moment I am trapped in the Sword Screaming Palace with my physical body, and I can't go out. What I am talking to you at this moment is my memory that I have left in the spiritual gate, and I want to tell you something. ’”

"I want to say that I have always been grateful to you and have loved you so much, so I don't want you to become enlightened. The so-called enlightenment is nothing but a conspiracy, a trap, and once you step into it, all that awaits you is endless regret and emptiness. For eons of time, there have been deceptions set up to lure otherworldly people to the source of all things, only to ask us to complete a task for them, a task that can never be accomplished.
