Chapter 38: The Divine Decree of the Void
Tao Zongru is the herald sent by the Great Jin Dynasty, and he is the one who the Taoyuan family is waiting for. This time, there were twelve disciples of the Sect Extreme Sect who went north with him, and thirteen of them carried out the "Qi and Vein Integration", unfolding an oval sword dust realm ten steps long and two steps wide, warding off evil and poison, and advancing step by step, if it weren't for the fact that there were still all kinds of illusions in the ring wood forest, I was afraid that they would have been broken over.
Qin Zheng once heard Qin Wei say: "The four protectors of the Zongji Gate - Ru Sheng Tongyi, Sun Zongyi is just to accompany the last seat, and Tao Zongru, the head of the four protectors, is more than a step higher than the three junior disciples, and he is already a grandmaster-level figure, even his disciples have three or four who can be ranked among the world's first-class masters." ”
At this time, seeing through the Xuanguang Mirror, this Tao Zongru's spirit was restrained and as steady as Mount Tai, Qin Zheng said in his heart: "Daddy is right! This Tao Zongru's skill is really far superior to Sun Zongyi." Although my progress in the past six years has been a rapid progress, but if I can make progress, the masters of the Zongji Sect will not be able to improve? Can't there be rookies among the younger generation? Although I have learned the nine secrets of the Daomen, it is still very difficult to avenge this great revenge!"
The Taoyuan clan saw that the enemy was no longer hopeful, and at this time, they saw the momentum of Tao Zongru and his party, and saw hope.
At this time, Rotten Kezi had recovered two or three percent of his strength, condensed his true qi, stirred up an ancient Shu bronze mirror, and re-hung it on the cave wall in the southeast of Beichen Cave- Beichen Cave is the Taoyuan Hub, the cave wall was originally hung with all kinds of treasures and artifacts, Ding Gong caused the water worm to destroy the Taoyuan Hub, many treasures and artifacts or dust or fell or were polluted or broken, this ancient Shu bronze mirror also cracked a gap, fortunately, the spiritual power still exists, the rotten Kezi hand pinched the trick, urged the formation, the bronze mirror mirror produced a distorted picture, faintly you can see that it is Tao Zongru and twelve Zongji disciples, and Tao Zongru raised his head, his eyes also looked in this direction!
Qin Zheng was secretly shocked: "This Tao Zongru has such a strong sense of sensitivity!"
Rotten Kezi said with admiration: "The first protector of the Zongji Sect is worthy of its name!, Senior Brother Zhang, please send a signal to the mirror, let Senior Brother Tao know that this side is a friend or an enemy, and I will take them in." ”
Zhang Boning took out an antique lyre from his back, plucked the strings casually, the tone was condensed but not dispersed, and went straight to the bronze mirror, everyone in the cave couldn't hear the sound of the piano, Qin Zheng said: "It's not strange that he plays the piano even if the sound booms for miles, I can do it by luck, but I don't make a sound when I play the piano, only let the target hear, I don't have this ability, this is mostly the exclusive secret of the Guangling faction." This Zhang Boning is not an ordinary first-class master, it seems that he is also a grandmaster-level figure. ”
An old voice suddenly came from the bronze mirror: "Is it Brother Zhang Boning?" Zhang Boning's gesture of playing the piano was slightly adjusted, and the old voice said: "Okay, I understand." ”
The rotten Kezi turned off the engine, and the bronze mirror suddenly seemed to be muddyed like a pool of water, Lu Ye'er pointed to the Xuanguang mirror in the air and said, "Look!"
Qin Zheng looked up, and saw through the Xuanguang mirror that a black space crack appeared in front of Tao Zongru and his party, Tao Zongru beckoned to all the disciples, and the two middle-aged people walked in front of them, after they stepped into the crack, they stepped out of the bronze mirror, and when they saw Shen Zongru and others, they turned back to the bronze mirror and said, "Master, it's okay." Tao Zongru led the remaining ten disciples in. After they all walked in, the bronze mirror on the face quickly dimmed, and it was obvious that this magic power was very spiritual.
Lu Ye'er and Qin Zheng admired it in their hearts: "The method of the Xingyi Gate Xuan Array is the first in the world, and it is not a fallacy! Under the serious injury of Rotten Kezi, the spiritual power of the "Mountains and Seas" has not yet fully recovered, but he can still use this ancient bronze mirror to travel through space. ”
Tao Zongru is both old and has a high status, and he is the herald of the Great Jin Dynasty, the three elders of Taoyuan hurriedly greeted each other in front of the mirror, Shen Zongtong and Kezi were about to introduce each other, You Naizhi suddenly shouted: "Master, someone has broken the ring wood!"
Everyone's hearts froze, and sure enough, they saw a sturdy figure floating out of the forest in the Xuanguang Mirror - it turned out to be the Tang Liusheng who had fought with Qin Zheng, Lu Ye'er snorted lightly and said, "It's someone from Feiwei Pavilion!"
You Naizhi, the apprentice of Rotten Kezi, shouted: "I'll go to the Kunshi Earth Puppet Formation to block her!" His skills are not as good as Tang Liusheng's, but there is still the possibility of blocking a strong enemy when he enters the formation. It's just that the Kunshi Earth Puppet Formation is already in front of the Tianquan Cave, and the enemy will break in at any time when he arrives here!
Lu Ye'er shouted: "You old men, don't be long-winded! How should you decide quickly, whether to kill or have another way to escape?"
Although her words are ugly, everyone thinks they have a lot of sense.
Guan Zhongping asked Ma Gongfu: "Lord Ling, what do you think?"
Ma Gong sighed: "The matter has come to this, let's move to Jiangnan." ”
It took three generations of people to give up, but there was no other way to do it. Rotten Kezi said: "There is a one-way secret passage in Beichen Cave, which can go straight to the bottom of the Danjiang River. ”
Qin Zhengqi said: "Underwater?" Look at the old and weak women and children in the cave: "Do all the people in this cave know the art of water escape and turtle breathing?"
Rotten Kezi smiled and said: "Qin Shaoxia don't worry, there is a layout below, which can help us go down the river and sneak a hundred miles away." However, after going out, you may still encounter enemies, so you must have a few masters in front to open the way to protect, and in addition, it will take time for so many people to retreat into the secret passage, so you have to ask a few masters to delay the delay. As he spoke, he looked at Tao Zongru, hoping that he would open his mouth to arrange for manpower. Originally, he already had an idea in his heart, that is, to let Zhang Boning and Shen Zongtong open the way in front, and after Tao Zongru led twelve disciples into the Kunshi Earth Puppet Array Palace, it was expected that he would use the sword formation of Zongji Gate and cooperate with himself to launch the Kunshi Earth Puppet Array to help, even if he was not able to defeat the many masters of the Qin army, he could delay for a while, but if he arranged it by himself, he was afraid that the other party would be unhappy in his heart, so he handed over the command to Tao Zongru in order to show respect for the convenience.
At this moment, everyone in the Taoyuan clan looked at Tao Zongru, just waiting for him to open his mouth to give the order, and he was about to take action.
Tao Zongru said: "The old man has been cultivating swordsmanship all his life, but he is not good at foreign affairs. Rotten Kezi also knew that he was not good at worldly affairs, and was about to ask for trespassing, but Tao Zongru had already said to Shen Zongtong: "Senior brother, you can give orders on my behalf." ”
Rotten Kezi knew that Shen Zongtong was not only profound, but also shrewd and capable, and thought that it was appropriate for him to pass on the order, but Shen Zongtong took a step, but said: "Pass the edict of the Emperor of the Great Jin!" Rotten Kezi was stunned: "The edict is on Senior Brother Shen?"
Shen Zongtong said: "Not bad!"
Guan Zhongping suddenly sneered: "Since the edict is on you, why do you keep saying that you have to wait for the herald?"
Shen Zongtong smiled and said: "The edict is on me, but the messenger is my senior brother, before the senior brother arrives, how dare I pass on the holy decree?"
Guan Zhongping snorted, Lei Yan and the other young disciples were already holding back their anger at Shen Zong and Zhang Boning who had stood by and watched all the way, and at this time they were even more annoyed, even the three elders of Taoyuan felt depressed, feeling that they had been tricked by him, and the rotten Kezi thought: "The overall situation is important!" motioned to the disciples to be as patient as possible, and said, "What Senior Brother Shen said is also true. Then ask Senior Brother Shen to show the holy decree. ”
Shen Zongtong said: "This time, what His Majesty passed on is an oracle. The situation is critical, the incense case will be exempted, Taoyuan family, kneel and take it. ”
The Taoyuan clan is the northern remnants abandoned by the Eastern Jin Dynasty who moved south, and most of the villagers are still the descendants of the beggar army, the courtiers of the Ran Wei Dynasty, and the Great Jin Dynasty have mutual suspicion between them.
Rotten Kezi gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Ling, follow the power." ”
Qin Zheng was extremely helpless when he heard what he said, knowing that Taoyuan had now completely lost the bargaining chips in the game with the Great Jin, and everything had to be at the mercy of others, so what could he do if he was humiliated?
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly took a few steps back, and with a movement of his footsteps, he found that Lu Ye'er next to him was actually acting in the same way as him, and the two glanced at each other and smiled at the same time.
Ma Gongfu let out a long sigh and knelt down tremblingly under Yue Ji'er's support. As soon as the three elders took the lead, all the old and young people in the cave knelt down, and the rotten Kezi also prostrated on the altar.
Shen Zongtong said to Qin and Lu: "The holy decree will be transmitted, how dare you two not kneel!"
Lu Ye'er's mouth flattened, his head turned away, Qin Zheng's mouth slanted, and said with a smile: "Your holy decree is for the Taoyuan clan, and we are not the Taoyuan clan." ”
Shen Zongtong shouted: "Even if you are not from the Taoyuan clan, aren't you the people of Huaxia?
Qin Zheng said: "I am a child of Huaxia, but this is in the territory of Fu Qin, not Jiangdong, and when the Sima family recovers the Central Plains, I will not be too late to kneel." There is a hidden sarcasm in these two sentences, which directly stabbed the Eastern Jin Dynasty court for being incompetent and unrighteous in the south, regardless of the life and death of the people in the Central Plains.
Although Lei Yan knelt on the ground, he couldn't help but laugh out loud at this time, Qiu Baichuan Qu Yansheng and the others also applauded in their hearts, Lu Ye'er pursed his lips, and saw that Qin Zheng's eyes also had a smile and appreciation, Shen Zongtong raised his eyebrows angrily, and Tao Zongru persuaded: "Senior brother, the big thing is important, don't make trouble with a few children." Shen Zongtong glanced at Guan Zhongping and saw that Guan Zhongping was still sitting there, and said coldly: "Brother Guan, don't you accept the order either?"
Guan Zhongping coughed and said, "Forgiveness, forgiveness, I'm too injured to bend my knees, so I can't kneel." ”
Shen Zongtong's eyes widened, and he said coldly: "This is the sincerity of the Taoyuan clan?" Tao Zongru said again: "Senior brother, Brother Guan is indeed injured, don't worry about this." Let's read the decree first. Shen Zongtong snorted, then stood a step forward, and said loudly: "Spread the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty: Ran Min is a barnyard general, not allowed to be ordered by the court, vainly called the name of the emperor, the crime is not forgiven, the order to kill Hu is especially hurtful to the heavens and benevolence, and the first crime has been punished, and the crimes of his bereaved family will not be investigated, and his bereaved family will be allowed to retreat to Chu and recuperate for more than a year." On the day of the order, he handed over the "Mountains and Seas Map", destroyed the main card of Ran Min God and killed Hu Ling, and a cadre of people was divided into five roads, which were placed by the subordinate officials of Jiangxi and Huainan according to the order, and they were not allowed to mention the matter of Ran Rebellious for the rest of their lives!
The three elders of Taoyuan trembled all over, and all the people in Taoyuan roared in unison: "What!"
