The moonlight was as red as blood, and thousands of forbidden soldiers poured into Liyang Cang, as if to herald that this thrilling battle was about to come to an end.
The Wagang Army is still stubbornly resisting, and has not given up the last glimmer of hope. But in the face of the Sui army, which was ten times its size, such resistance was becoming more and more weak.
Yuwen Chengdu sat on the Smoke Cloud Beast, with murderous cavalry guards in front of him and behind him, and chickens and dogs did not leave corpses everywhere they passed.
Even a child who is not as tall as the wheels will not let go. Because when he grows up, he is destined to be a thief again.
The General's Mansion was in sight, and Yuwen Chengdu rode forward unhurriedly, stepping on a corpse with blurred flesh and blood, ready to pick the fruits of victory.
Suddenly, a scream sounded, and more than a dozen forbidden soldiers fell to the ground with arrows. A Wagang army stabbed obliquely from the alley, like an arrow from the string to kill Yuwen Chengdu.
Rushing to the forefront was a black-faced man holding a Xuanhua magic axe, fierce and unstoppable, and shouted: "Yuwen Chengdu, your grandfather Cheng is here!"
Several generals of the forbidden army behind Yuwen Chengdu each moved their blades and prepared to step forward to intercept them, but he stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Let him come!"
Before the words fell, Cheng Biting Jin had already killed the front, picked up the Xuanhua Magic Axe and slashed at Yuwen Chengdu with lightning speed, which was the first move of his famous three-plate axe "Split the Brain".
Don't listen to the name of this move, it's a bit old-fashioned, but I don't know how many green forest heroes with three mountains and five mountains, and the famous generals of the Great Sui who can fight well have fallen under the three-board axe.
Yuwen Chengdu was brave and brave, and with one arm, he moved the phoenix wings to block the gold boring.
Who knew that Cheng bit Jin's arms and twisted violently, and the Xuanhua Demon Axe suddenly turned to the horizontal cutting Yuwen Chengdu face door and said: "Piercing the eyes!"
Yuwen Chengdu smiled coldly and said, "Carving insect skills!" The phoenix wings and gold boring quickly changed the move, and the wind wheel sealed the magic axe.
Cheng bit his golden hand and brought it back, shouting: "Pick out your ears!" Xuanhua Demon Axe spun around unbelievably, slashing Yuwen Chengdu's left cheek, fast and ruthless.
Yuwen Chengdu was slightly stunned, and immediately dodged sideways to the right, and slapped a "Yellow River Thousand Dragons Roar" with his left palm.
"Bang!" The light burst out, the Xuanhua Demon Axe flicked high, and the two rode their horses by mistake.
Cheng Biting Jin's mouth spurted blood, his hands and tiger mouths were shattered, and he turned the horse's head and raised the axe to kill him.
Yuwen Chengdu put away the heart of the enemy, locked his eyes on Cheng Biting Jinshen's elusive Xuanhua Demon Axe, and waited for it.
Who knew that Cheng picked up the axe that bit Jin, and shouted loudly and made three moves: "Split the brain, pierce the eyes, and pluck the ears......"
Seeing this, Yuwen Chengdu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Just this three-legged cat's ability to dare to show off in front of me, take your life!"
Cheng Biting Jin hurriedly flashed his body sideways, and the sound of "pop" was slapped on his left arm by the phoenix wings and gold boring, the armor was shattered, the bones were broken, and the tendons were broken, and he screamed and turned over and fell off the horse and fainted.
Yuwen Chengdu's Xiao Cavalry Guards were already waiting by the side, picking up the rope and about to step forward to tie people.
A person rushed out of the crowd of Leng Buding's chaotic army, brandishing a machete indiscriminately and cutting down two forbidden army horsemen one after another, shouting: "General Cheng, run away!" It was the Huang Erchou who was ordered to report to the General's Mansion.
Taking advantage of this time, Cheng Yanjin's personal soldiers rushed over desperately, picked him up and fled into the alley.
Yuwen Chengdu thrust the phoenix wings into the ground, took off the treasure fetal bow and put it on the vest of the feather arrow aiming at Cheng Biting Jin.
Huang Erchou roared and jumped up, and pounced on Yuwen Chengdu with his bare hands.
The forbidden soldiers on both sides shot out in unison, and seven or eight knives and spears slashed through his body almost simultaneously.
Huang Erchou grabbed Yuwen Chengdu's treasure fetal divine bow, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "General Cheng, I didn't find two ......" and his head drooped down suddenly.
Yuwen Chengdu shook his arms and threw Huang Erchou's body out of the air, and then saw that Cheng Yanjin's back had disappeared into the alley, and the surrounding Wagang soldiers had also been killed and wounded, and only a very small part escaped.
With a cold snort, he shot an arrow, nailing a wounded soldier of the Wagang Army who was struggling to get up to the ground, urging the Thousands of Miles of Smoke Cloud Beast to go straight to the General's Mansion.
At the same time, in a secluded courtyard in the general's mansion, Princess Jincheng stared at the house, the smoke and rain were misty, the small bridge was flowing water, but the old monk with the cane was missing on the riverside.
The old monk's Buddha bowl and staff had been gently placed at his feet, and his hands pushed open the two hidden doors of the ancestral hall.
It was pitch black behind the door, there was no candle flame inside, and no light from the outside could penetrate it.
The three walls on the left and right sides and directly in front of them are covered with niches. Each niche enshrines a spirit card, and when the door is opened, all the spirit cards are lit up with silver divine light, like ten thousand arrows stabbing at the Jinding monk.
The spiritual platform of the Jinding Divine Monk was swaying, and there was a trace of flaw in the heart of the Buddha at this moment. Not because of the tablets that shine like stars, but because of the names engraved on them.
"Third Brother Lin", "Bao Juhua", "Lin Wangcai", "Geng Nanmei"...... Familiar names, memories of the past, I thought I had forgotten everything, but they were just buried deep in a corner of my heart.
Except for the legendary stone monkey who made trouble in the heavenly palace five hundred years ago, everyone will have a father and a mother, and relatives are no exception. His father's name is Lin Sandi, his mother's name is Bao Juhua, his grandfather Lin Wangcai, and his grandmother Geng Nanmei......
His layman's real name is Lin Ergou, and the name given by his master after he became a monk is "Jinding".
The shining names on those spirit cards are all the ancestors of the Lin family, and they were also his ancestors who bowed three times and bowed nine times.
However, since he became a monk at the age of seven, he has never seen these people, these names, until this moment.
At this moment, he was a little distracted, and a thousand silver rays of light suddenly pierced into his stunned body.
"Bang!" the Golden Tripod Divine Monk snorted in his mouth, his body shook violently, and his hands slammed the door shut. The heavy and stagnant feeling seemed to be that the hands were not two ordinary wooden doors, but two mountains weighing more than 10,000 jun.
All the silver light was locked behind the door, and the golden-red blood on his face flashed, and his hands were still shaking unconsciously.
What a chance! Diao Xiaosi did not hesitate to contemplate the knife, and in the sonorous roar, nine treasure knives burst out of the belt of the dragon, and the brilliance of the sky was revealed, and the nine-palace knife array was cast around his body with a snap of his fingers.
Unexpectedly, the Jinding Divine Monk slowly turned his head, his eyes were as deep as a pool and as clear as the sea, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "You want to sneak attack?"
Diao Xiaosi's Lingtai was in pain, and he had the illusion that his chest was pierced by a spear blade, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, knowing that the old thief had recovered, and if he forcibly made a move, it would be no different from looking for death.
He hurriedly calmed down, grabbed a Zhou Gong Chopping Yuan knife in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm idle and have nothing to do, sharpen the knife." With that, he squatted down and sharpened his knife vigorously on the blue stone at his feet.
The Jinding Divine Monk looked at Diao Xiaosi, was silent for a while, and said, "When I was very young, our family lived in a small town in Jiangbei. My father was a blacksmith, and my mother did needlework for the family to support the family. We have six brothers and sisters, I am the fourth, and there is an older brother and two sisters above, so the nickname is 'Ergouzi'. ”
"Ha!" Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and hurriedly held back: "I thought that the name 'Xiaosi' was already dirty, but compared to you, it is simply a white-faced bun." Two dogs, two ......"
The Jinding Divine Monk looked indifferent, and said slowly: "The family is very poor, and they can't afford to buy meat during the New Year." My dad wakes up early and stays late, but the money he earns is still not enough to support his family. But at that time, I felt that I was very happy, and I lived a carefree life, and even thought that I could live like this, and when I grew up, I would be a blacksmith like my father. ”
Diao Xiaosi sharpened the knife vigorously while snorting, and sighed: "It's very tiring to strike iron, no wonder you didn't become a blacksmith later, but you became a monk!"
The Jinding Divine Monk continued expressionlessly: "When I was seven years old, a battalion of officers and soldiers came to the town, and my eldest brother and I were climbing on the old tree in front of our house to dig birds' eggs. Suddenly, I heard screams...... Those officers and soldiers killed people when they saw them, and even the elderly, women and children refused to let go. I was stunned when I lay on the tree, and was pushed into the hole by my eldest brother. He told me to hide my voice, and then I slipped down the tree and ran home to report the news. ”
Diao Xiaosi was puzzled: "Why do those officers and soldiers want to kill people?"
"They have suffered defeat in the suppression of bandits, and in order to conceal their defeats, they need hundreds of heads to lie about their military exploits. I only heard about this later, when I was trembling and biting on the hem of my clothes, and then I heard my father's voice, my mother's voice, and my younger siblings' ......."
The Jinding Divine Monk said in a flat tone: "The tree hole is dark and faint, I can't see anything, I don't know how long I hid in it, and finally I can't hear the sound outside." That feeling is longer than a lifetime. Before leaving, the officers and soldiers loaded all the looted gold and silver into carts, and then set fire to the town. ”
Diao Xiaosi shook his sour hands and asked, "Then how did you escape?"
"I curled up in the hollow of the tree and still didn't dare to move, and the smoke poured in, and I couldn't stand it, so I wet my sleeves with urine and covered my face. It was getting hotter and hotter in the hollow, and soon the tree was burning, and I finally couldn't stop crying. But before I cried a few times, I was choked by the smoke and fainted. ”
The Jinding Monk said: "When I woke up, the first thing I saw was the later Monk Huizhi. He was in the vicinity of the town when he saw the fire and immediately heard me crying. There are more than 200 families in the town, and only a dozen or so people survived except me. ”
Diao Xiaosi changed the knife and continued to sharpen, and said, "So you followed the monk Huizhi and became a monk?"
The Jinding monk nodded and said, "I have achieved a little success in Emei for ten years, so I was ordered by my master to go down the mountain to understand the world. I inquired in many ways, and finally learned that it was a general surnamed Bu who led the team to massacre the town that day. He relied on this 'military merit to suppress bandits', and he has been promoted continuously in the past ten years, and has become a general of the imperial court. ”
"The general surnamed Bu?!" Diao Xiaosi was taken aback, and realized the origin of the grievances between the old thief of Jinding and the Bu operator.
