1. Coincidences in the world are all fate
On the plain outside the city, the beacon fire burned the plain, the flags were flying like the sea, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouting and killing were blended together, like a stormy wave.
Zhang Qianfeng sat in the middle of the city and watched the ground, letting this dangerous and vast voice get louder and closer. He was numb, calm at heart, but a little gloating.
This was not his war, nor was the people of the city his allies. Together with him, all the people of the Ten Thousand Immortals and the Dragon Blood Kingdom stepped across the grassland again, but their minds were completely different.
It can be said that each has its own ghosts.
He closed his eyes, and the past came flooding back to him.
It was in the ring under Hayabusa Castle, and he was standing face to face with Suojiu. There were thousands of people inside and outside the ring, divided into four directions, one side was the Shenhai Sword Sect who asked for wine, one side was the master of the East China Sea Ten Thousand Immortals, and the other side was the testimony from the Dragon Blood Heavenly Kingdom;
Some people say that Zhang Qianfeng is competing for the first place in the world, so he made a duel with Suojiu. "No. 1 in the world," what's the use? Fame and fortune are nothing but a burden.
The madness and despair of people who waded in the water and swam in Jiangmen before dying remained in Zhang Qianfeng's heart, and appeared in front of his eyes from time to time. Zhang Qianfeng dispelled the tragic scene and focused on the opponent in front of him.
What he wanted was the Fountain of Change, and he wanted the disciples of the ferry boat to live.
Before this battle, the two sides had tried several battles, each with a victory or defeat, and finally asked for wine to defend, defeated several people in a row, and confronted Zhang Qianfeng. Zhang Qianfeng looked at Suojiu, his eyes were full of the shadow of the winding back then.
At that time, they were competing for the seat of Cloud Breaker, and now they are fighting for survival, Zhang Qianfeng knows that he is a foreign snatcher, and morality is not on his side, but he can't care about that much.
Zhang Qianfeng ordered Suo Jiu to strike first, he could see that this person was very excited, and he was glad for the evenly matched master, but Zhang Qianfeng had long been unable to feel this state of mind, although others were alive, they were no longer living for themselves. He had to live for the sake of ten thousand immortals, for the lives of the remaining thousands of people.
The battle situation is extremely fierce, and the Suojiu kung fu is ever-changing, sometimes the power is infinite, sometimes the spells are wonderful, and the swordsmanship is light, and it is even faster and abnormal. Zhang Qianfeng used Fuxi Tongtian to the fullest, and he was always on a par with him.
The two fought and ruined the ring, and when they reached the sky, they fell to the ground, and the onlookers had to run, and the two of them slowed down their fists and feet in unison, so that everyone could stay away. Then they fought again, and finally they were seriously injured.
Zhang Qianfeng was forced to have no choice but to take out the Yaoqin behind him. This piano is a magic weapon given to him by Huang Tuzhong many years ago, the sound of the piano is sharp, and it is secretly reasonable, which can enhance the power of Fuxi to pass through the heavens. Seeing this, Suojiu came to the spirit, but he still wanted to resist. Zhang Qianfeng knew that he was too deeply injured to resist.
He had to use such means, he had to occupy the fountain of change.
He knew where the spring was located, but he was afraid that there were still powerful guards, and martial arts would never be under the wine, so he didn't care about a fair duel.
It was then that they were plagued by snakes.
Many pitch-black, gloomy, weird, and cruel black snakes came out from everywhere, attacking Suojiu and Zhang Qianfeng. Because they are located in the south of the grassland, most of the people have never experienced the snake plague, and some have never heard of it, and when they saw the many dead and wounded, they were horrified, and those who fled fled, blocked and blocked, shouted and shouted, and those who waited for death to die. Zhang Qianfeng and Suo Jiugu couldn't tell the winner, and teamed up to stand up to resist the black snake's attack.
But they are all at the end of the crossbow, and they can only protect themselves, so they can only try their best to cover the withdrawal of everyone, but the screams of dying continue to come from their bodies and ears, and the black snake first kills the people, and then kills the masters, and the means are despicable and vicious.
Suojiu shouted for help, Zhang Qianfeng saw an old white ape suddenly appear, his kung fu was very high, varied, and he helped each other for a while, but he couldn't stand alone. There were many dead and wounded in the city, and there were wails everywhere.
Suddenly, a group of black-robed people rushed over, holding a green and shiny staff in their hands, and started to drive away the black snake, Zhang Qianfeng recognized that it was a green snake repellent incense, a rare and precious, priceless ore, he had never thought that he could see so many "wandering" in his life.
The black snake came like a rising tide and went away like a low tide, as fast as it was mysterious. Zhang Qianfeng and the others breathed a sigh of relief and thanked those black-robed people.
The medicine given by the black-robed people to the wounded to treat snake venom also has an unheard-of miraculous effect, which can cure this poison that is certain to die. Zhang Qianfeng was very grateful, but when he saw who was coming and heard their identities, his heart sank again.
They called themselves disciples of ten thousand ghosts, and the leader was none other than the Wu Qi with sharp blades and superb swordsmanship he had seen many years ago.
He was in the south, and he almost didn't know anything about the situation in the northern part of the grassland, but he occasionally heard the news and knew that this Wu Qi was a very famous person.
Suo Jiu also recognized this person, many people in the Shenhai Sword Sect had a good relationship with him, and they were really happy to see him, but their identities were different, and their faces were impassive, Zhang Qianfeng could see that they were very familiar.
Zhang Qianfeng asked cautiously, "I don't know the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect Master, why did you save us Ten Thousand Immortals?"
Wu Qi said: "I came here to negotiate peace, and I hope that we will join forces to form an alliance from now on, and the past grudges will be written off like a passing cloud." ”
Although Zhang Qianfeng was desperate and favored by this person, he knew that there must be fraud in it. He said: "Brother Wu Qi has a strong heart, and we will voluntarily appreciate it." However, the hatred of slaughter and aggression is still in front of us, and the legacy has not disappeared to this day. Since Your Excellency claims to be a thousand ghosts, and you are familiar with the hidden secrets, so as to set up your own door, how can I, ten thousand immortals, not be blamed for the past?"
Wu Qi said again: "The kung fu we practice is still based on the Black Blood Divine Pool, and we inherit the mantle of the Golden Cicada Patriarch, so we are called Ten Thousand Ghosts, not intentionally to displease the Ten Thousand Immortals." ”
Zhang Qianfeng couldn't guess through this person's tricks, and said: "I also inherited the last wish of the Bodhi Patriarch in the next place, and I dare not disobey it, so I will never dare to join the same stream with ten thousand ghosts." ”
Wu Qi looked very unhappy, and looked at Suojiu again, and the dog fairy Panxiu shouted: "Senior brother, promise him, Brother Wu Qi is mine... Great benefactor to all of us. Suo Jiu shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I have always been a member of Wanxianmen, and my master's reputation is ruined, also because of ten thousand ghosts, senior sister, you must not forget this section." ”
Panxiu tilted his head sideways, whined and hummed, and didn't speak for a long time.
Wu Qi said to Zhang Qianfeng: "I know that your ten thousand immortals are facing the catastrophe of annihilation, if you can't find a spring to replace the fairy dew spring, you will lose your conscience one by one, and life is better than death." My Ten Thousand Ghost Black Blood Pool is equivalent to the effect of Xianlu Spring, although there is little hope, it may be able to save the lives of the people of Wanxianmen. ”
Zhang Qianfeng replied unceremoniously: "Isn't it ridiculous to drink to quench your thirst? We are ten thousand immortals, and we will never fall into the evil way." ”
Wu Qi said: "What an 'evil way', our rebirth from prison, after years of improvement, is no longer an evil method that distorts people's hearts and attracts people to demons, and the Black Blood Divine Pool is not blindly causing people to do evil." How can your eyes and ears be shut and self-contained?"
After he said this, he beckoned, and a black-robed man unbuttoned his hood, revealing his face, the Qing family sisters and brothers of the Shenhai Sword Sect were taken aback, and exclaimed in unison, Zhang Qianfeng also recognized this person, it was his apprentice Qingzhong, whose life and death had not been known for many years.
Qingzhong bowed to Zhang Qianfeng, saying that he had thrown himself into ten thousand ghosts, and as one of the ghost heads, he was now carrying the body of ten thousand ghosts and ten thousand immortals, and he repented, acted chivalrous and righteous, and vigorously did good.
Zhang Qianfeng was a little moved in a trance: Maybe this rebirth skill from prison is really the way to salvation? Maybe thousands of ghosts and immortals can also coexist peacefully?
Maybe if you put down the butcher's knife and really become a Buddha on the spot? Maybe good and evil will eventually end up in the same place, regardless of each other?
At this moment, a large group of people and horses rushed here, Zhang Qianfeng looked back and saw it, and he was even more shocked, the leader was none other than the head of the Dragon Blood Sect, the Dragon Blood Heavenly Kingdom Master Blood Cloud.
Blood Cloud wore a golden mask on his face and armor, and he wore a golden light, brilliant and shining, but it was impermeable, and people said that he was suffering from a terrible illness and could not see the wind. But as soon as you hear the voice, you know it's him.
He sneered: "The people of ten thousand ghosts, it is a real coincidence that they arrived. It is not easy to appear when the snake plague is raging, turn the tide, and sell favors well. ”
Wu Qi saw that the blood cloud was fierce and could make a move at any time, so he also replied coldly: "The army of the Dragon Blood Kingdom is also very opportune. With that, he nodded to everyone behind him, and all of them hurried out of the city.
Xueyun said to Zhang Qianfeng again: "Sect Master, were you moved by him before?"
Zhang Qianfeng shook his head and denied it.
Xueyun said: "For thousands of years in our south, we have never suffered from a snake plague, and now that Falcon Castle is located in the Western Regions, it should not suffer this catastrophe. Why did you immediately send down this natural disaster when the leaders of both sides were defeated? Why did ten thousand ghosts arrive as soon as this black snake appeared? Why did you prepare so properly?"
Zhang Qianfeng couldn't help but be suspicious, but still said: "Your Excellency's intention, is it that ten thousand ghosts drive the black snake to cause trouble? ”
Xueyun said: "They take a fancy to your ten thousand immortals' kung fu, or want to persuade you into the evil path, one by one to become a slave like Qing Zhong, from then on the ten thousand ghosts are powerful, and there is no control in the world." ”
Zhang Qianfeng thought about it for a while, and there were really a lot of doubts, if this was the case, this Wu Qi was dignified, full of compassion and benevolence, but his mind and means were more powerful than the golden cicada back then.
Xueyun said again: "I watched the sky at night and sensed that there must be a conspiracy among the ten thousand ghosts, so I urgently dispatched troops and horses to come to help, even if the ten thousand ghosts do not come, our soldiers of the Dragon Blood Heavenly Kingdom can also drive the black snake away." ”
Zhang Qianfeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness and persuasion." ”
Suo Jiu said at this time: "Uncle Shi, just now the competition, even if I lose, but I tell you the truth, our Spring of Change can only maintain 3,000 disciples to benefit from it, if the number is large, those who enter the pool will definitely die." Now there are exactly three thousand disciples of the Shenhai Sword Sect, and they really can't let people in. ”
Zhang Qianfeng heard him say this in person, knowing that this person would never lie, he felt a burst of anger in his heart, and thought to himself: "If you kill all the people of this Shenhai Sword Sect, all my ten thousand immortal disciples can be saved!" But this thought made him breathless, and he immediately restrained his thoughts and dispelled this thought.
Xueyun said again: "This ten thousand ghosts have made a comeback, driven by the black snake, and the momentum is fierce, far better than in the past, we must not sit still and wait for death." ”
Zhang Qianfeng asked in surprise, "Does Your Excellency have the intention of going on an expedition again?"
Blood Cloud looked up at the night sky and said, "Exactly." ”
Zhang Qianfeng said: "In the expedition back then, everyone was disgraced and in vain. Now that the Northern Expedition is again, how will the outcome be different?"
Xueyun said with a smile: "Last time, we were not familiar with the place, this time, let's find a big man to be the landlord, fight steadily, and we will definitely win." ”
