XXVII. Shaken and broken
Walking through the sky-like mountain road, there is a vast platform in front of you. The platform is round, extremely wide, roughly calculated, enough to accommodate 10,000 people, people stand on it, like ants. And the surrounding mountains are continuous, the smoke and clouds are swirling, the birds are scarce, but the partial green space is brittle and tender, and there are towering giant trees growing sporadically on both sides, the appearance is simple and stout, and it is full of towering ancient feelings. Around the platform, there are two sections of red stone pillar porch, the left is engraved "Eight Desolate Cave Immortals Come to Worship", the right book "Nine Heavens Goddess Descends to the Dust", the handwriting dragon flies and the phoenix dances, if it is intermittent, in this barbarian settlement, it is not easy.
On that platform, there were already more than 100 people standing, many of whom surrounded the young village master and his companions in the back of Fengling, yelling and scolding him, and some people were holding swords and wanted to fight him desperately.
I heard one person say: "Yi Shaoshan! You are acting so despicably in Huifengling, and you actually sent someone to plot against us for such a major event as the Flame Festival! If you don't take advantage of you, won't there be no rules in the future, and the world will be in chaos?"
Yi Shaoshan's face is thin, and he looks energetic, this person has obviously trimmed his eyebrows, even painted some rouge gouache, and is wearing a silk robe, looking at his appearance, it doesn't look like he's here to compete, but like he's here to perform, but most of the people on this platform are like this.
He sneered: "Your skills are low, you can't pass the test, but you want to run to deceive the goddess of the Ming King, in the next life, I hate you people with evil intentions the most." It is to send the masters in the village to block the door, one to test your martial arts, and the other to save some strength for the goddess. If she sees you people with poor martial arts and ugly appearances, if something goes wrong with her anger, how can she bear it in her heart?"
Some people are angry, take out a chain gun, the bell rings, the head of the gun flies out, from the side, straight to the neck of Yi Shaoshan, Yi Shaoshan snorted, dodged and avoided, opened the fine steel fan in his hand, and slashed on the chain, the iron fan was extremely sharp, the iron chain was broken, the man shouted regretfully, and before he came back to his senses, Yi Shaoshan hit the man's forehead with a palm. The man was shaken, Deng Deng Deng took three steps back, his eyes were wide open, and he fell straight to the ground, only breathing, not inhaling, and seeing that he was not alive.
The chain gunner's martial arts are not weak, how do you know that Yi Shaoshan's kung fu is powerful, the blade is sharp, and it is even more terrifying, as soon as he fights, he will kill the opponent, and the rest of the people will see him fierce, and they will be discouraged for a while, and they will shout and curse for a while, and then they will swallow their anger and disperse. Yi Shaoshan waved the folding fan, his expression was dashing, and he looked extremely proud.
Goshawk and Jiuying looked around, and saw that Qi Yu and Gu Xia were standing in the corner of the platform, very far away from them, and they were not busy looking for them at the moment.
Jiuying said: "I don't know how to compete later, how to evaluate the winner, how does the goddess choose the destined person?"
Goshawk snorted lightly and said, "This woman is also a superficial and ignorant person, and when she sees a man who is good-looking, she will definitely become like a nymphomania." ”
Someone behind him suddenly reprimanded: "You don't respect the goddess, you should be guilty of death! If you don't sincerely apologize, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will smash you to death?"
When the goshawk looked back, he saw a man dressed as a scribe, about thirty years old, who spoke in a fashionable manner, and looked arrogant, thinking that he was suave. The goshawk was itching his hands, and now that the rain was not there, he was just beating people, and immediately said with a grin: "Goddess, I think it's just a flower crazy woman." ”
The scribe was furious, rolled up his sleeves, took out the purple gold hammer, and was about to tear up with the goshawk, but the goshawk couldn't ask for it, and was about to start fighting, when he suddenly noticed a chill, peeked into the distance, and saw that the rain was looking towards this side.
The goshawk became apprehensive and said, "This brother, brother, I'm just joking, and I've offended a lot, so I won't compensate you." My brother's martial arts are superb, and he has his own magnanimity, and he will definitely not take my little joke to heart. ”
The scribe was overjoyed when he put on a high hat, and said happily, "You son of a bag, why do you dare to speak wildly when you know that you can't do it?" and after a few more foul words, he and his companions walked away haughtily.
Jiuying smiled: "Big brother, I said that you are afraid of the rain, but you still don't admit it?"
The goshawk laughed twice, admitting that he was unlucky, and he didn't argue much.
I only heard the young man beside the scribe say: "Brother Luo, I heard my father say that you also came to this flame festival ten years ago, right?
The scribe surnamed Luo showed an indulgent look, and sighed: "Alas, how can I describe the appearance of a fairy with my stupid mouth? Alas, such a woman as soft as a demon is so holy and loving, how could I be so uncompetitive last time?"
He showed a sad face, lamented, and said: "But this time I recoiled my head, and my kung fu temperament has long been different from what it used to be, and the unobstructed boy just now, as soon as he saw me angry, he was scared like a rabbit, which shows that I have been practicing hard in the past ten years, and my progress is amazing, hehe." ”
His young companion asked, "Is the goddess really floating in the air, standing in the air? Is there some mechanism in it, or is there a string hanging from her?"
The scribe was furious, slapped the young man, and said angrily: "Luo Mao, how can you say such disrespectful words with your stinky mouth? That goddess is a goddess, how can she use a thin rope to deceive people? Besides, in the past hundred years, our predecessors in a hundred holes and hundreds of villages have been carefully searched around this platform, not to mention any mechanism, but not even a trace of spider webs. ”
He pointed forward, only to see between the clouds and mist, a straight rise of a high mountain standing in front of him, this mountain is extremely high and wide, the mountain peaks are hidden in the clouds, vertical up and down, the stone wall is smooth, lonely between the mountains, from this is a hundred zhang away. Luo Wenshi said loudly: "Do you say, how long should the goddess be hung with a thin thread, so that she can come and go freely and act like flying? ”
The goshawk suddenly thought of something, and he reached out to touch the platform and stood up, looking shocked.
Jiuying asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"
The goshawk said in a trembling voice: "This entire platform is naturally formed by soul stones. It is very similar to the Four Beasts Reincarnation Jade. ”
Jiu Ying looked at the ground, and felt that although his feet were smooth, there was nothing strange about it, so he asked, "How can Big Brother be sure?"
The goshawk put his finger on the ground and said, "Listen, this soul stone is slowly absorbing my internal power." ”
Jiuying groped with him for a while, but he didn't feel anything, he was very familiar with the goshawk at the moment, laughing and scolding, and didn't care about it, so he smiled and said: "Big brother, you are shocked again, I have long suspected that this soul stone matter, didn't you make it up to deceive me?"
Goshawk hurriedly said: "It's true, what did my goshawk deceive you about?"
Jiuying smiled: "You like to show off, and it is not impossible to deliberately exaggerate in order to surprise me." ”
The goshawk jumped up with a snort and said loudly, "What good is it for me to surprise you?"
Jiuying tilted his head, looked mischievous, and said with a smile: "King Zhou You smiled for Bo Bao, and did not hesitate to play the princes. Big brother, in order to scare me, you didn't cover your face and made up nonsense. ”
Goshawk scolded, "Fart, fart, you're not a beauty, even if I scare you out of shit and pee, I'm still stinky!"
Seeing that what he said was unpleasant, the others all pointed at the two of them, and their faces were mocking, and they were a little embarrassed for a moment, and stopped teasing the goshawk, and listened to the scribe talking with Luo Mao again.
Luo Wenshi said: "Little brother, let me tell you a secret wild history, this matter was told to me by the hundred-year-old bald man in our Chaohui Cave, do you want to listen to it?"
Seeing his mysterious tone, Luo Mao was whetted by him, and nodded suddenly.
Luo Wenshi said: "It is said that on the top of this light, it was originally the main altar of the Ming Sect in our Middle Earth. There are a lot of big devils living on it, and the empty view peak is connected to this reflecting platform, and there is also a stone bridge of 100 zhang. And the goddess of the Ming King is one of the three holy women in the Ming Sect. It's just that later, Mingjiao suffered heavenly punishment, countless masters died in the sect, and the rest of the people fled in a hurry, leaving only the goddess of Mingwang on the mountain, and the stone bridge was also broken and fell into the deep valley. ”
Luo Mao's eyes were full of anticipation, and he said happily: "So, there are two other saints who have come down the mountain?"
Luo Wenshi scolded with a smile: "You have no interest, you know the Holy Maiden and the Holy Maiden." The other two saints went down the mountain, which is equivalent to falling into the mortal world, and from then on, I am afraid that I will become mortals and die for an unknown number of years. The rest of the Mingjiao followers moved to the Central Plains and completely forgot about this sad past. The centenarian in our cave is said to be an elder of the Ming Sect in the past, and he was so frightened that he buried this secret in his heart until he died. ”
Luo Mao suddenly realized and said: "No wonder when the old man died, he muttered in his mouth, it turned out that this was what he said." It's no wonder that there are many huge pieces of rubble in the deep valley below this empty peak. ”
Luo Wenshi sighed and glanced at Jiuying and Goshawk, and the two of them remained silent, as if they were nothing. Luo Wenshi was relieved, and said: "All in all, this matter is too shocking, if it spreads, I am afraid that it will cause chaos, you must not talk too much, understand?"
The voices of these two people were extremely low when they spoke, but Jiuying's internal strength was deep, and the goshawk had a keen sense, and he listened to what Luo Wenshi said word for word.
Jiu Ying's face was overjoyed, and he whispered: "In this way, that Ming Wang Divine Maiden is really also our Mingjiao senior? If I show the Holy Fire Order in front of her, she will remember the feelings of her fellow teachers, and maybe she will agree to give me our Mingjiao relics." ”
Goshawk was quite unimpressed, and said: "Maybe that woman hates Mingjiao for harming her life, and after seeing you, she will directly throw you down the mountain, I don't know." ”
Jiuying was stunned for a moment, hung his head, and said, "That's also a little possible." ”
Goshawk asked again: "Second brother, you are now with the Flame and Ice Condensing Skill, which is rare in the world, and you have started to practice the kung fu of the predecessors of Zhangaxe Mountain, as the so-called greed is too much to chew, why do you want to covet the kung fu of the Ming Sect in the past?
Jiu Ying frowned and said, "That kung fu is also an ancient miracle skill, called the method of 'refining and shifting'. A senior master of martial arts once told my father that if you want to be truly invincible in the world and tie your hands, you have to practice this kung fu. ”
