Chapter 171: The Night Before the War
It took a while for Li Muxue to come back to her senses, and at this time, Yan Luo also saw her, smiled at her, walked down, and said with a smile: "Do you remember me?"
Hearing the familiar voice in her memory, Li Muxue was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said happily: "You are a fairy ......" The word "mother-in-law" swallowed before she could say it, because at this moment Yan Luo looked much younger than the "fairy mother-in-law" she saw when she was a child.
Xiao Chen's heart condensed, it turned out that Mu Xue had seen Yan Luo, thinking of this, he was very happy in his heart, smiled lightly, walked to Li Muxue's side, and arched his hand to Yan Luo: "Junior Xiao Chen, I have seen Yan Luo's seniors." ”
Yan Luo smiled at him, and Hua Yan gritted his teeth when he watched from the side, thinking that these people turned a blind eye to him, he was really angry, Mo Xuanzi saw her expression at the moment, and laughed: "I think one of my seven people has never gathered, and today we are together, very good, very good!"
When the disciples outside the hall heard this, there was also a burst of blood in their chests, the name of the seven sons of Yuqing was very prosperous in those years, but they didn't have the opportunity to see it, and it was inevitable that they were a little excited to see it today, but counting it, it seemed that there were only six people in the hall at this moment.
At this moment, Yu Yifeng's voice sounded outside: "Master and the other five uncles are all waiting in the hall, don't you really plan to go in?"
"If you dare to pull me again, the old man is not done with you!"
Everyone was stunned for a while, they didn't have to think about it to know that it was Uncle Xiaoyao who was coming, this uncle was the most eccentric, and when he heard that Uncle Yan Luo was back, he didn't know where to hide.
Xiao Chen keenly noticed that there was also a slight change on Yan Luo's face at this moment, and after thinking about it slightly, he understood the reason, smiled lightly at the moment, walked out, and pulled Zi Mo into the hall with Yu Yifeng.
"It's the other way around, you two little bunnies!"
As one of the seven sons, Zi Mo was forcibly dragged into the hall by two juniors, the scene looked more or less funny, and many disciples couldn't help but laugh dumbly, Yan Luo saw that he finally came in, and snorted lightly: "I thought you weren't coming." ”
Zi Mo's face burned red all of a sudden, and he said with a smile: "This...... That one...... Little junior sister, how have you been doing all these years?" he looked evasive as he spoke, not daring to look at Qingchen Zhenren at all.
"Hmph!" Yan Luo snorted lightly and said, "I'm doing well, but what does it have to do with you?"
For a while, Zi Mo's face became even redder, and Qingchen Zhenren was just smiling on the side, as if he recalled the years when the seven of them were young.
At this time, a disciple hurriedly entered the hall to report, saying that people from various sects and sects had arrived, and brought news that the ancestor of Guanshan would most likely come tomorrow.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, no one dared to laugh anymore, everyone frowned, Qingchen Zhenren looked outside the hall, and immediately greeted him, and the six people behind him immediately followed.
I saw that countless righteous people were rushing towards Shanmen Square, and the number of people was afraid that there were thousands of them, and the leader was the Xuanji Master of the Silent Temple, Xiaoyue of the Thousand Feather Gate.
This time they have received the news that the ancestor of Guanshan has successfully reshaped his body, and he will soon declare war on various sects, and the Yuqing Gate will bear the brunt, and once the Yuqing Gate is lost, the rest of the sects will not be able to escape the disaster of annihilation.
Qingchen Zhenren stood on the stone steps in front of the hall, and the six people behind him immediately stood in a row with him, and the seven sons gathered, how majestic, many righteous people who came this time showed their looks, and Qingchen Zhenren didn't say much, just listened to him: "Tomorrow's battle is a matter of life, are you ready?"
What he meant by this was that there was no guarantee that after the battle tomorrow, everyone would still be alive, after all, the strength of Guanshan Ancestor was extraordinary, even if he injected the power of the Seven Sons into Xiao Chen's body, he did not dare to guarantee victory.
"Fight to the death!"
In fact, they all understand how dangerous tomorrow's battle is, not only the body of Guanshan Ancestor has been recast, but his disciples have probably also been demonized, and their strength should not be underestimated, I am afraid that half of the people who came today will not be able to go back, but they have to come, if the Yuqing Gate is lost tomorrow, the so-called cold lips and teeth, they will not be able to escape a death, this is what they know cannot do.
The evening breeze blew lightly, blowing everyone's hair and fluttering, like soldiers dying on the battlefield, one step forward is the sword cold, one step back is the cliff, knowing that it is nine deaths, but there is no way back, everyone's eyes are slowly shifted to Xiao Chen, because Xiao Chen is their only hope tomorrow.
Xiao Chen also felt this blazing meaning, he couldn't retreat, as if this was his fate, if there was a second person here who could withstand the strength of the seventh son, then he didn't want to risk his life, because he still had too many worries, he hadn't found Master Ling Yin yet, and he hadn't figured out what happened back then.
But at this moment, he has no way out, maybe he can escape from Dongzhou with the people around him, but from now on, he will no longer have the shame to see Master Ling Yin.
He now wants to go back to Fanchen to see his father, Bai Ying, and relatives and friends, but time is not allowed, I saw him stand forward, his eyes revealed incomparable firmness, and he said loudly: "Tomorrow's decisive battle against Guanshan Ancestor, Xiao and you will live and die together!"
The words made countless people's chests surging with blood, and they shouted in unison: "Live and die with Xiao Shaoxia!"
This joint action, Xiao Chen's prestige in the hearts of everyone has reached an unprecedented height, no matter what he did in the past, after tomorrow's war, he will inevitably make him famous.
The night gradually shrouded, no one slept tonight, everyone rushed to lay down sword formations everywhere, and Qingzhou City under the mountain was already empty, a few days ago the Qingguo Emperor issued an order, ordering the residents of the city to evacuate temporarily, and at the same time sent 100,000 troops to garrison near Yuqing Mountain.
Even the emperor of Zhou put aside his suspicions and sent 30,000 troops and 3,000 elites to support. Because the enemy they are facing this time is a demon from a thousand years ago.
At this moment, on the Heguang Palace, the faces of the seven sons of Yuqing were solemn, and Qingchen Zhenren had already laid a soundproof enchantment, and said: "Then when the time comes, I will invite the four junior brothers and two junior sisters to open the Seven Star Soul Turning Array with me." ”
Yu Hengzi frowned, and said: "Senior brother, I know that you have made up your mind, but this move is not trivial, if there is an accident in this, the consequences can be imagined, in my opinion, it is better to set up a return to the Yuan array in the Tongchen Palace, if Xiao Chen is really out of control at that time, or if he has evil thoughts in his heart, we can also withdraw our strength in time." ”
Qingchen Zhenren nodded and said: "I know you have concerns in your heart, but if you set up the Returning Yuan Array, you also know what it means, if the Returning Yuan Array is accidentally touched during this period, it is not us, but I am afraid that Xiao Chen will also suffer a great backlash because of this." ”
Yu Hengzi said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will send someone to guard outside the Tongchen Palace, and no one will be allowed to approach." ”
Qingchen Zhenren pondered for a long time, looked at Qingfeng and Zimo, and said, "Two junior brothers, you have been with this son for the longest time, what do you think?"
Zi Mo preemptively said: "I can trust that kid." ”
Qingfeng said: "He has a good character, it is impossible for him to have evil thoughts in his heart as Senior Brother Yuheng said, and he will never return with the skills of the seven of us, the only thing I am worried about is ......" He said this, falling into deep thought.
Qingchen Zhenren saw that his eyebrows were deep, and he guessed a few points, and asked, "Senior brother is worried about the mysterious power in his body?"
Qing Feng nodded when he heard this, and said: "This power has always been lurking in his body, it will cause him to give birth to an extremely strong demonic intent, and it is beyond his control, I have tried to resolve it several times in the past few months, but all of them have failed." ”
Qingchen Zhenren frowned and said, "According to the opinion of the junior brother, what is the origin of his power, or is it buried by whom?" Qingfeng shook his head: "The way of heaven is vast, and this matter is no longer for us to peep into. ”
Qingchen Zhenren sighed and said, "That's okay, tomorrow's battle will affect the lives of tens of millions of people in Dongzhou, so according to the words of Senior Brother Yuheng, let's set up the Guiyuan Array first." ”
At the same time, in a clearing in the back mountain, Xiao Chen pillowed his head with his hands, looking at the stars in the sky, he didn't know what to think, he had just told Luo Yanyan, Murong Xian'er, Liu Fenghuang, and Li Muxue that no matter what happened tomorrow, they should not act rashly. Especially Liu Phoenix, Qingyumen was destroyed by Guanshan Ancestor, he was afraid that the other party would do something impulsive tomorrow because of hatred.
Just thinking like this, a slight sound of footsteps sounded behind him, and he didn't need to look back to know who was coming, and got up lightly and said, "Senior Sister Liu, you're here." Even today, he still calls each other like that.
Liu Fenghuang walked to his side, sat down gently, the cool breeze was blowing, penetrating people's skin, the two looked at the flickering fire under the mountain, and did not say a word, and after a long time, Liu Fenghuang said: "Do you still call me Senior Sister Liu?"
Xiao Chen recalled the month when she first came to Zifu, she pestered herself to play here and there every day, and her face was always smiling like a flower, and now, I am afraid that I will never see the smile of the past anymore, he has always felt guilty about this, and he has been deceiving each other for that month.
"Why don't you speak?" Liu Fenghuang said softly.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Do you blame me?" If it weren't for the fact that he took away the strings of Fuxiqin in the first place, maybe things wouldn't be like this.
Liu Fenghuang didn't speak, and smiled for a long time: "I always believe that you will come back, I don't know when it started, I will go to Chengfeng Pavilion every day to sit, maybe one day you will really come back, gradually, autumn has arrived, the yard is full of fallen leaves, no matter how you sweep it, you can't sweep it all......"
As she spoke, her voice gradually became stumped: "Later, one time, I dreamed that you came back, and I was so happy, but when I woke up, what I saw was a mess of corpses, Senior Brother Mo was seriously injured and escaped with me, but he himself was ......"
"Don't ...... Don't say it...... Xiao Chen's eyes gradually reddened, and he gently hugged her on his shoulder: "I'm sorry, it's me who is not ......"
