Chapter 321: Emotional Longji
As soon as this army appeared, there were two more Taoists behind him to protect Ji Fa. [Full text reading]
Yu Hua took out the Soul Killing Banner and raised it into the air, covering it with several black qi generals. But the golden light on Jun Tuli's body was scorching, and it was useless. Yu Hua was taken aback, and shook the Soul Killing Banner repeatedly, but it was useless.
Jun Tuli Daoist sneered: "I can subdue the five yin demons and remove all pollution obstacles, what is the use of your little soul dementor?"
After saying that, Jun Tuli shook his body, revealing his eight-armed Dharma body, and the magic weapon in his hand took off towards Yuhua. Yu Hua saw a golden light, right in his head, snorted, and lay on the back of the golden-eyed beast. The golden-eyed beast is psychic, turns around and leaves.
Hong Jin, who came from the rear, was taken aback when he saw a few Taoists around Jun Tuli and Ji Fa. Although Hong Jin did not hear the name of Jun Tuli, when he said that he was defeated by Huang Feihu, it was these people who made trouble, knowing that the enemy was powerful, and he did not force it, so he quickly ordered the whole army to withdraw.
Under the cover of the archers, opened by Wu Wenhua, Han Sheng and Han Bian quickly evacuated the Zhou camp with a 10,000-bladed car.
The night attack of the Shang army was a complete victory, and the 10,000-bladed chariot performed a miraculous feat, killing nearly 40,000 Zhou troops, and the injured ones were not counted. And the 10,000-bladed car only lost dozens of units due to the death of the sergeant they were driving, and these dozens of them seemed to outsiders to be just some papier-mΓ’chΓ© windmills, which did not play a role. The only regret is that Yu Hua was smashed by the enemy with an unknown treasure and died of the Heavenly Spirit Gai.
Yu Hua is a disciple of Yu Yuan, a qi immortal on Penglai Island, and Yu Yuan's master is the Holy Mother of Jinling, one of the four major sects of the Interception Sect. Wen Zhong and Yu Yuan are brothers, although Wen Zhong was pleased with the victory over the Zhou army, but the death of his nephew brought a hint of gloom to this good news. And Hong Jin also reported to Wen Zhong that those mysterious Taoists appeared and rescued Ji Fa.
Wen Zhong frowned, thought for a long time, and while ordering the Heavenly Shadow Crowd who accompanied the army to report to the Son of Heaven quickly, he summoned his disciple Ji Li and ordered him to go to Penglai Island and report Yu Hua's death to Yu Yuan.
Due to the heavy losses suffered by the Zhou camp and the need to recuperate, they could not avoid the battle for several days in a row. Wen Zhong sent people to call for war several times, but they were all shot back by random arrows, and his gate hung a "war-free card".
In order to prevent the recurrence of the mistakes of the past, Ji Fa sent people to strictly guard the area around the camp at night, and did not dare to relax in the slightest, and Jun Tuli and others did not show up, as if the world had evaporated.
The detailed battle report of the Western Zhou army was reported by the Celestial Shadow through some special facility to the Son of Heaven of Chaoge at the first time. Zhang Zixing was not surprised that the Ten Thousand Bladed Carriage and Archers could achieve such a victory, but was wary of the mysterious figure that Hong Jin saw in the battle report.
Zhang Zixing thought about it, lit the last incense left by Shen Gongbao, and soon, the curling light smoke condensed into the image of Shen Gongbao and saluted Zhang Zixing.
Zhang Zixing didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "National Teacher, right now, Xiqi Ji is leading the people to rebel, and the northwest is in turmoil. That Ji Fa rebelled, and actually went out of Qishan and committed the following crimes. Wen Taishi is fighting hard with the rebels in Jinjiling, can the national teacher come and help the widows quell the chaos?"
Shen Gongbao showed hesitation on his face, and after a long time, he sighed: "Your Majesty, you are ashamed of being poor. At this time when the great business was in danger, Poor Dao could not help, and I hope that His Majesty will allow Poor Dao to resign from the post of national teacher. β
Zhang Zixing looked surprised: "Isn't there anything unspeakable about the national teacher? Why do you want to abandon the widow?"
"Your Majesty has the grace of knowing in the poor road, how can the poor road abandon your majesty?" It's just ......" Shen Gongbao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The surname Suo and Your Majesty have made it clear...... The poor way is to explain the sect, and now the master has a life, and the disciples of the sect should help Xiqi, so the poor road is in a dilemma. β
Zhang Zixing looked shocked: "The national teacher actually wants to ...... Helping each other to rebel! Could it be that he is also like Jiang Ziya, who is rebellious under the pseudonym Lu Wang, and wants to live up to the trust of the widows?"
Shen Gongbao looked ashamed: "The teacher's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and the poor road cannot be disobeyed......"
"National teacher, in fact, Xiaoyaozi has already told the widow what he said......" Shen Gongbao was shocked when he heard this, only to hear Zhang Zixing say again: "Xiaoyaozi asked me to tell the national teacher, he knows that you can't help yourself, and he doesn't blame you, I just hope that you will do it yourself, take care of yourself." β
Shen Gongbao's heart was surging, his body trembled slightly, and he sighed: "It's me who owes a lot of friends to the free Dao...... If you have the opportunity in the future, you should repay it with your life!"
Zhang Zixing heard Shen Gongbao's sincere tone, sighed secretly in his heart, and said: "National teacher, since it is difficult to disobey the teacher's fate, the widow will not force you, but only hate the widow for having nothing to do with you." Finally, there is one thing, and I ask the national teacher to answer. The previous marshal Hong Jin attacked Zhou and confronted Huang Feihu, and Ben had the upper hand. But Huang Feihu's army suddenly had some more mysterious figures, and the Taoism was extraordinary, and in the end, Hong Jin was defeated. Now, when Wen Taishi attacked the Zhou camp at night, those mysterious figures reappeared and killed the vanguard General Yuhua. What the widow wants to ask is, are these people the same as the national teacher?"
Shen Gongbao pondered for a while and said, "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I didn't teach everyone here. But...... It's the West that teaches people! That's all the poor Taoist says, please don't ask your majesty again. β
Zhang Zixing's heart was shocked: It is really the Western Sect! When it was said that Hong Jin was crusading against Xiqi, the elites of the Sect were all in the Sanshan Pass, and a group of redundant manpower could easily defeat Hong Jin. At that time, he had also wondered whether it was the secret power of the teachings, and he had also doubted the Western teachings. Now that it has been confirmed by Shen Gongbao, I know that it is indeed a Western teaching, and it seems that the exposition of the religion and the Western religion have been united.
"Alas, it seems that the 800-year-old foundation of Chengtang is about to be destroyed by the hands of the widow's unscrupulous descendants!" Zhang Zixing showed a depressed look and sighed to Shen Gongbao: "National teacher...... No, Shen Daochang, the widow knows your hardship, and from now on, the widow will no longer embarrass you, please cherish yourself. β
Seeing that the Son of Heaven was still treating each other with courtesy, Shen Gongbao was deeply affectionate, and he was ashamed in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the poor Dao knows that he is ashamed, so he will go to the famous mountain and invite one or two skilled people to try to solve this misfortune." This can be regarded as the last wish of Poor Dao to His Majesty. β
Since Yuan Shi Tianzun has a life first, then the "first and second masters" must be cannon fodder other than expounding teachings, and there are ten ** interceptions. Zhang Zixing thought for a while, and his face still showed joy: "Thank you Daoist Shen! β
Shen Gongbao solemnly bowed deeply, and his body gradually faded away with the smoke. Zhang Zixing pondered for a long time, instructed Shang Qingjun a few words, and rode the dragon horse to break through the air, and arrived at Biyou Palace in a short time. There are disciples outside the Biyou Palace who caught him and reported to the Golden Spirit Mother who is now patrolling the mountain. Our Lady of Jin Ling was ordered by the teacher and invited him into the Biyou Palace. Nearly an hour later, Zhang Zixing left and returned to Chaoge.
Not long after he came back, Yuan Hong hurried over and reported a news: Duke Longji is leaving!
Leaving so soon? Zhang Zixing was taken aback and hurriedly rushed to the eastern suburbs manor.
When Princess Longji saw him coming, she said: "Fellow Daoist, I have been blessed with your hospitality recently, and there has been a lot of chatter, and now I will go back to Phoenix Mountain." β
Zhang Zixing hurriedly said: "Why did the princess say this? With the friendship between you and me, what else do you say about the word 'chatter'? Could it be that I don't greet me well?"
Princess Longji shook her head and said, "Daoyou is busy with business, and he still takes time to come from time to time, so I remember it in my heart. It's just that the current war is urgent, and Daoyou serve the king, so there should be no leisure. Not only was I unable to help my fellow Daoists here, but I was distracted by them, and I was so distracted that I took my leave. If you need help, you can come to Phoenix Mountain, and I will do my best to do it. β
Zhang Zixing looked at Biyun Tong'er and the maids around him, and said, "I have a few words from the bottom of my heart, can I ask the princess to borrow a step to speak." β
Princess Longji nodded and followed him out, but Biyun Tong'er seemed to understand something, and deliberately winked at Zhang Zixing, looking inciting.
Zhang Zixing and Princess Longji walked out of the manor on foot and went all the way. Along the way, the autumn colors are picturesque, the sky is faintly revealed in the clouds of the autumn sun, the branches of the trees are decorated with heavy fruits, the main colors of gold and red are mixed on the ground, and a comfortable cool breeze blows from time to time, giving people a sense of elegant and fulfilling coordination.
The two didn't say anything, and walked side by side for a while, and Princess Longji stopped first: "Fellow Daoist, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." β
Zhang Zixing looked at her beautiful flower that had faded most of her coldness, and an inexplicable affection swelled up in her heart, pointing to the scene in front of her and asking, "Princess, how do you think this song is better than your Phoenix Mountain?"
Princess Longji thought for a while and said, "If you only talk about landscapes, Phoenix Mountain may be a little better." It's just that there are only me and Biyun Tong'er in Phoenix Mountain, and I can't stay away, I have been used to seeing such a scene for thousands of years, even if it is a fairyland, I can't see it. Chaoge is the capital of the Great Shang Kingdom, and it is very lively, and there are Taoist friends in the ...... Self is far from being comparable to that empty mountain. β
Zhang Zixing nodded and said softly: "Princess, you said 'chatter' earlier, but you really lost your words...... In fact, as long as you don't dislike it, even if you stay here for a hundred years, a thousand years, or a lifetime, I won't feel chattering. β
Princess Longji trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to face his gaze, so she turned her head: "How can I dislike Daoyou...... It's just that I feel that I have dragged down my fellow Daoists, so I want to leave first, and then come back to meet when Daoist friends have leisure. β
Zhang Zixing took a step forward: "If the princess leaves like this, I miss it all night, and the bedroom is uneasy, which will really drag me down." β
The more Princess Longji listened to him, the more straightforward she became, Rao was as indifferent as ice, and she couldn't resist it. If someone else said such bold words to her, she would definitely be angry with the Erlong Sword and greet directly, but now it was "Xiaoyaozi" who said this, not only did she not feel angry, but she felt that her face was feverish, her heart was beating badly, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she replied casually: "If I leave, you will really miss it all night, and the bedroom will be uneasy?"
As soon as the words came out, Princess Longji already regretted it, shouldn't she refuse, why did she involuntarily say such "weak" words? When Zhang Zixing heard this, she had a way in her heart, and hurriedly followed the words: "This statement is absolutely true, if I don't see the princess, I will always miss it in my heart; when I see it, I am in a happy mood and I am afraid of losing it again, and I am extremely frightened, and it is very tormenting to repeat the cycle. I just hope to be by the princess's side forever, and I will never give up on life and death. β
Princess Longji's heart beat even faster, and her face was already crimson, how could she still have her usual cold and arrogant demeanor. The feeling that Xiaoyaozi said just now, in fact, she also had it in her heart. When they don't see each other, they only hope to see each other, but when they do, they are afraid that the heavenly court will condemn their crimes, and it will be difficult for them to last long. It's better not to see each other than to see each other, and to see each other if you don't see each other.
Although Princess Longji was shy, she had a faint feeling of joy in her heart: It turned out that he and I were like this!
"Princess, although I am powerful in the human world and rich in the world, I can't compare with Heavenly Court, and I know that I am not worthy of a princess. When Zhang Zixing said this, he also faintly meant to indicate his identity, "But my heart for the princess is sincere." If the princess does not dislike it, I am willing to marry you, and share weal and death in the future. I wonder if the princess will be willing?"
Princess Longji didn't notice the words "powerful and rich in the human world", and she was already at a loss when he said "always accompanying".
In fact, when she agreed to "borrow a step to talk" with Xiaoyaozi today, she had a faint premonition of his confession, and now listening to him beg in person, it is still inevitable that her heart will be in turmoil, and she only feels that since she was born, she has never been so nervous as she is now.
After a long time, Princess Longji barely calmed down: "Fellow Daoist, it's not my own identity. It's just because I'm a princess of the heavenly realm that I can't marry myself. There are strict restrictions in the heavenly realm, and when men and women in the heavenly realm want to become Taoist couples, they must play the queen mother, and then Fu Yuan Immortal Weng will pull the power of the red line before it can be accomplished. If you don't follow the rules of heaven and marry privately, there will be no good results. Even if the sister of the Emperor of Heaven was privately married to a mortal in the Nether Realm back then, she was suppressed according to the rules. Daoyou's intentions, Long Ji knows, and it is extremely ...... Grateful. It's a pity that I have been convicted of my mother, and now I am afraid that I am ......"
Fu Yuan Immortal Weng? It's Yue Lao! To put it bluntly, it's one of the accomplices that Yaochi Jinmu used to control the marriage. When Zhang Zixing heard Princess Longji mention Haotian God, she only used the word "Emperor of Heaven", but when she talked about the Golden Mother of Yaochi, she was called "Queen Mother", knowing that she still had a lot of awe for the Golden Mother, and said at the moment: "What about Fu Yuan Immortal Weng? What about the Golden Mother of Yaochi? That Golden Mother expelled you from the lower realm, and you must have guessed a few points, where is there any mother-daughter relationship? Besides, you and she are both born of Taiyin's qi, and they are not real mothers and daughters." I don't ask about these trifles, but only one thing, is the princess herself willing?"
Princess Longji's face was flushed, but she was silent. Zhang Zixing knew that she must have an intention in her heart, otherwise she would have refused at first, but she couldn't say anything, so she quickly added another effort: "If the princess doesn't say anything, I will acquiesce to you!" From now on, you will no longer be alone, I should do my best to cherish you." Never let you suffer from loneliness again as you did in Phoenix Mountain. β
Is it no longer alone? Princess Longji heard such soft words, her body shook, and finally she did not say a word of refusal.
Zhang Zixing saw the affection in her eyes, and took the opportunity to step forward and gently hold her hand, only to feel as warm as jade, Princess Longji struggled slightly, but did not move again, and sighed: "It's just that Fu Yuan Xianweng and the queen mother are ......."
Zhang Zixing was secretly overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "As long as you and I are in love, Hugh said that it is Fu Yuan Immortal, even if it is the Golden Mother, she will not want to break us up! If she dares to interfere arbitrarily, I will do my best to fight her to the end! Not only that, but I also have one or two brothers and friends, who can match the Golden Mother Haotian ......"
The power of the whole country? Is there anyone who can match the emperor and queen of heaven? Princess Longji finally heard some clues, and felt strange in her heart, and was about to ask, when suddenly a strange appearance appeared in the sky in front of her.
The clouds in the sky suddenly turned black, and when you look closely, it is a large black gas rising from the ground that obscures the sky. In the eyes of mortals, it should still be a dark cloud, but in the eyes of Zhang Zixing and Long Ji, this black qi carried a terrifying power, as if it was about to devour the sky.
The two of them were taken aback, and Princess Longji instinctively felt the great threat brought by this black qi, and gently broke free of his hand, looking vigilant. At this moment, I heard a rough laugh from the black air, and this laughter actually made the ground tremble slightly.
Zhang Zixing only felt that this laughter was very familiar, and when he thought of something, he was in high spirits at the moment, and walked quickly in the direction of the black qi. Princess Longji didn't expect him to be so impulsive, and he actually walked forward regardless of the danger, and when he was worried, he also quickly followed.
The laughter lasted for a while, as if sensing the arrival of the two, the black qi quickly converged, condensed towards the ground, and finally became a tall and burly man.
When Princess Longji saw this man's appearance, her complexion suddenly changed greatly, her feet suddenly accelerated, and she stretched out her hand to stop Zhang Zixing. It could be seen from Princess Longji's slightly trembling hands that she was nervous, even scared.
The stout man caught a glimpse of Zhang Zixing at a glance, and with joy below, he walked up quickly. Princess Longji was shocked, the second dragon sword was already in her hand, who knew that the man did not attack as he imagined, but leaned down, half-bent his knees and saluted Zhang Zixing: "Lord!"
This unexpected title caused a strong shock in Princess Longji's heart, and she looked at Zhang Zixing with an incredible face.
