XVIII. The rivers and lakes have fallen

Li Shuxiu glanced towards the lobby with a pair of pretty eyes, remembered all kinds of records in the map, and said: "There is a niche in the northeast corner of this lobby, and there is a mechanism hidden behind the idol in the alcove. ”

Everyone had been in the lobby for a whole day, and they had already turned over the hall, and this alcove statue was so suspicious that it had naturally been inspected repeatedly. Tiande Daoist said: "Miss Li, there is nothing suspicious about this statue, where is the mechanism?"

Li Shuxiu's expression was calm, and he walked in front of the statue and saw that the idol was a kneeling villain, holding a long sword in his hand, and his face was blurred. She drenched her palms with water, and gently stroked the back of the idol's head, which was quite hard and smooth, but gradually became soft and rough, and after a while, she said happily, "Found it!" As soon as she pressed the switch, there was the sound of gears turning overhead, and the heavy iron door directly north of the lobby slowly rose.

Everyone cheered in unison, Li Shuxiu smiled slightly, took the torch handed by the goshawk, and was about to move forward, when she suddenly remembered Lapu, she looked back and saw that the goshawk held Rapp on his shoulder, Rapp's eyes were closed, his breathing was steady, and he was still in a deep coma.

She saw Rapp's haggard face, she couldn't help but feel a palpitation, although she was grateful to the goshawk and secretly cherished family affection, but when she saw her first love in the past, it was like meeting a natural enemy, she couldn't help but be so confused, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while, in fact, it was not only her, men and women in this world, which one is not so?

Goshawk looked as usual, shouldering the wounded, and walked calmly among the pedestrians, but Li Shuxiu was afraid that he would be jealous in his heart, and couldn't help but regret it, and secretly thought: I really shouldn't have told Brother Goshawk about me and me and Rapp's love when he was a child, although he was casual on the surface, but he was afraid that there was always some nostalgia in his heart.

She was thinking like a tide, undecided, the goshawk saw her appearance, her heart was strange, but after thinking about it carefully, she thought that she was concerned about Rapp's injury, and said secretly: This Rapp brother is Miss Axiu's former lover, I have to take good care of him, don't make Miss Axiu worry, in order to repay General Li Tingzhi's kindness, and atone for my sin of living in Yangzhou and stealing my life.

Everyone was cautious and trembling all the way, walked through the iron gate, and came to a wide walkway, Li Shuxiu said: "This is the palace of the barbarian king, not a dungeon tomb, there are not so many traps in it, everyone doesn't need to be so nervous." ”

Goshawk said: "Ah Xiu girl, I am afraid that there are other people living in this palace, and the barbarian king may not have laid a trap, but those outsiders may not be so polite. ”

Li Shuxiu was a little strange and asked, "Why did Big Brother Goshawk say that?"

Goshawk said: "When you were bathing in that balcony before, you found a piece of silk satin to cover your body, and the long satin is probably not very old, and there is no sign of damage. ”

When Li Linhong heard this, he couldn't help but scream, pinched his throat, and shouted sharply: "Brother Goshawk, you and Sister Axiu are in love and love, she even shows you her body." Your thousand-year-old pure yang boy divine skill, I'm afraid it's gone. You are so shameless, are you worthy of our iron-clad camp and our flowing soldiers?"

The goshawk smiled: "I have seen a lot of this kind of scenery in the next place." I have long been accustomed to it, and I don't care about it. If you want to break my magical power, you have to go on a blind date with my skin, grind your ears and temples, and gobble up and down your hands, and you can't gobble it ......up."

The two of them said that they forgot all about Li Shuxiu's previous brutal beating, and they couldn't think of the little emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty next to him, who was staring at his curious eyes at the moment, and listened to the crazy words of the two of them in his ears without missing a trace. If those loyal and righteous old ministers of the Song Dynasty saw such a scene, they would have to be half angry with the two of them.

Li Shuxiu was so angry that he was smoking, but the situation was unclear at the moment, when he focused on the overall situation, he couldn't teach the two of them a lesson, so he had to grit his teeth and curse in his heart: Brother Goshawk looks quite decent, he can't think of getting along for a long time, and he is so boring to talk, which is no different from those big and rough Kazakhs.

Kazakh life is bold, loves to drink, after getting drunk, full of nonsense, and playing with the beautiful women in the village, it is also a common thing, Li Shuxiu, as a Han Chinese, has never participated in the celebration of the Kazakhs, but sometimes sitting on the hillside looking at each other, he has also seen such ugliness.

Li Linhong smiled and said: "Brother Goshawk, am I dazzled, brother? Why do I think that this Rapp brother next to you, why is his hair a little green? But you are messing around with him?"

The goshawk sighed, looked sideways, and sighed: "Strange, strange, it must be that Brother Rapp ate too many vegetables before, so he has such a hair color." ”

Li Shuxiu has been with Kazakhs all the year round, and she can't understand the nonsense of the two, but it is not a good thing to think about, her brain is buzzing, and she can't help but shout: "Goshawk!

Goshawk and Li Linhong gasped, covered their mouths, and after a while, Goshawk whispered to Li Linhong: "This girl Li is the daughter of General Li Tingzhi, brother, you are talking too much!"

Li Linhong was suddenly in awe, although he had never fought under General Li Tingzhi, all the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty heard the prestige of General Li Tingzhi and admired it in their hearts. He looked serious and said in a low voice: "You kid actually did something to General Li's daughter, if you abandon it in the future, I will be the first to skin you, brother." ”

Thinking he was still joking, the goshawk giggled and said, "Naturally, naturally." In fact, in his heart, he had long thought that Li Shuxiu's subordinates only had reverence and gratitude for her, but there was no love between men and women.

Li Shuxiu saw that the two of them were silent, so he asked, "Brother Goshawk...... Goshawk, if there are other people living in this palace, then who do you think they are?"

Goshawk replied: "I think that Zamule's martial arts are a demon cult's apologetic skills, and he obviously came prepared, even if he didn't know the mysteries in this palace before, he must have his own plans. From this, I guess that those people in the palace in this valley are the people who trapped us in the valley, and they are also members of the Demon Sect. ”

Xuanjing was shocked when he heard him say the name of the "Demon Sect" one after another, and asked, "Brother Goshawk, are you talking about the 'Xiaoyao Palace' that has disappeared from the rivers and lakes?"

The goshawk nodded and replied, "Not bad." ”

Xuanjing's face changed instantly, and his original calm appearance had already flown to the edge of the sky at this moment, holding the hilt of the sword, sweating in his palm, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaoyao Palace, Xiaoyao Palace......"

Tiande asked: "Master, why haven't I heard of the name of this Xiaoyao Palace?" He is young, he has just been out of the mountain for only two years, although his kung fu is good, but he has little experience in the rivers and lakes, and he has naturally never heard of these old things in the previous dynasty.

Xuanjing sighed: "How majestic the Xiaoyao Palace was back then, calling for wind and rain on the rivers and lakes, more powerful than our Quanzhen Sect, they admired a Western demon god named Xuanye, as soon as they met the same people in the rivers and lakes, they would pretend to be close, waiting for the opportunity to spread the teachings, ecstatic hypnosis, and pull people into the gang. More than ten years ago, several famous masters of our Quanzhen Sect were abducted by the demons of the Xiaoyao Palace, and they also took away many of the martial arts secrets of our Quanzhen Sect, which caused public outrage in the rivers and lakes. If it weren't for the emperor who waved his army south at that time, fought with the Southern Song Dynasty, and the world was constantly fighting, we would have gathered our fellow martial artists and gone up the mountain to exterminate these demons. ”

Li Linhong and the goshawk were furious when they heard this, and Li Linhong secretly scolded: "You, an old Taoist, as a Han Chinese, actually helped the emperor to abuse him, and returned the emperor's screams, which is really shameless." I think that even if the demon of the Xiaoyao Palace is ten times more ridiculous, it is not as brazen as you. ”

Tiande asked again, "Master, what happened to these demons later?"

Xuanjing said: "Later, the prince of Jiangtang led the army to break through Fancheng and Xiangyang, and the emperor's army drove straight into the world, sweeping the world, and sent the martial arts masters of the Western Regions and tens of thousands of elite soldiers to arrest those stubborn warriors in the rivers and lakes. ”

Goshawk suddenly asked: "Xuanjing Daoist, over the years, the southern martial arts have been full of mourning, lives have been ruined, and elite masters have been killed and injured, and since then they have been in a slump, presumably it is also the handiwork of Kublai Khan?"

Xuanjing heard his tone extremely disrespectful, and he actually called the emperor by his name, but after all, he felt ashamed, and at this moment, he paid attention to the overall situation, and it was not appropriate to dwell on small things, so he sighed: "Your Majesty...... It is true that he made some decisions, but if it weren't for this, he would not be able to maintain peace and stability in the world for a long time, and he did this for the sake of the people of the world. ”

Goshawk said angrily: "Nonsense! Such a means of exterminating human nature can actually put gold on your face like this? You old Taoist is so despicable, presumably you Quanzhen Sect also intervened in this massacre of the southern warriors! If it weren't for that, how could you be rewarded by Kublai Khan?"

The county lord of Jiuhe was extremely annoyed, plucked up his courage, and shouted: "My father is the co-lord of the world, what kind of thing are you, you dare to insult your father like this?"

The goshawk ignored her, just stared at the mirror, and a fiery and furious color gradually flashed in his eyes.

Xuanjing did not refute, but lowered his head, he was actually very depressed, he was silent for a long time, sighed, and said: "Poor Dao is incompetent, and he failed to stop the emperor's atrocities, but after this incident, our Quanzhen Sect leader was disheartened from then on, and let Xian retire on the same day." And instructed us to focus on missionary preaching from now on, and no longer advocate martial arts, alas...... My unsuccessful apprentice Tiande can be regarded as a first-class master of the Quanzhen Sect at this moment. ”

The goshawk looked at him for a while, gradually calmed down, and sighed: "You are being coerced by the Mongolian Tatars, and I can't complain about you. It is also the fate of the southern martial arts, when there is such a catastrophe. After that, he let out a melancholy sigh, and his voice was vicissitudes and sorrow, sounding like an old man who was worried about the world.
