I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 173 The Magnificent Past

Chapter 173 The Magnificent Past
"I grew up in a poor hunter's family. I had neither clan nor relatives. My parents were poor for several generations. When I was two years old, I had to go to the mountains with my parents to dig bamboo shoots and collect herbs."

"When I was seven years old, when I saw a book for the first time, I felt that there are such mysterious and magnificent things in the world."

"Afterwards, I entered Tongsheng at the age of ten, and became a Jinshi at the age of 20. It was a strange story in the world."

"Time flies, I have traveled all over the land of China, and finally at the age of 50, I am half a bachelor."

Sitting cross-legged on the back of the white crane, Tao Fengming narrated to Song Mu at this moment, the words were filled with endless vicissitudes, and his eyes looked into the distance at this moment, as if he saw endless years.

"I used to think that I was about to stand on top of the world, only to know that the suffering is not over."

"In the fourth year of Chongwen, when I was 60 years old, all my family members who have lived with me for half a year were plotted against, and your teacher and mother also died of... an accident."

"I was deeply saddened, and went alone into the Loulan Demon Sea, looking for the so-called Seven Soul Flower of the living dead and the white flesh."

"But I never thought that this turned out to be a trap. The monsters, barbarians and demons came from three sides, and they all wanted to put me to death. I tried my best to escape, but I was already poisoned by it."

Song Mu raised his head and listened to every word Tao Fengming said. Every time he uttered a word, his body seemed to tremble.

Song Mu also gradually clenched his fists.

"I don't even know what this poison is now. I only know that it continues to eat away at the meridians of flesh and blood, and my realm has plummeted."

"That strange poison destroyed my dantian and reversed my meridians, but it didn't let me die."

"The literary power in my body still exists, but every time I use it, I have to experience countless pains."

"Moreover, over time, my cultivation level has deteriorated a little bit."

"Whenever I fall into the realm of a scholar, I will die here."

Tao Fengming continued talking, but the figure standing on the crane's back was even taller, and his clothes and hair were fluttering in the wind.

Song Mu's expression was stunned, and he was particularly moved at this moment,

My teacher is really the all-powerful Huangfu Fengming.

His life was full of legends, he was a model for so many children from poor families.

But after that, it suddenly disappeared overnight without a trace.

Until it appears in front of oneself.

"Master, that teacher's wife..."

Song Mu was stunned for a moment, and asked again, but immediately regretted the words, and immediately lowered his head.

But Tao Fengming didn't care, on the contrary, he looked towards the distance, and it seemed to reveal deep thoughts at this moment.

"She is a descendant of the Tao family's poetry school, Tao Sheng's eldest sister, and one of the few people in the Tao family who can use "Peach Blossom Spring"."

"However, she has already left, to the land of the outside world, waiting for me there."

Listening to this, Song Mu straightened his back and looked at Tao Fengming with a solemn expression.

"Master..."

Tao Fengming waved his hand immediately, with a relieved look on his face, he looked at Song Mu and said.

"Do you know why I am still alive in this world?"

"Because I'm unwilling."

Song Mu raised his head again, while Tao Fengming turned his head at this moment, manipulating the crane to fall slowly.

"We have arrived."

After Tao Fengming said this, Song Mu came back to his senses, and now he lowered his head, looking at the ground slowly approaching under his feet.

This is not the scene that surprised Song Mu the most. In the distance on the ground, black smoke has risen at this moment, and the half of the sky has become dark at this moment.

In the black clouds, there seemed to be lightning flashing continuously. Although no movement could be seen, the scene that covered the sky and the sun still made people tremble inexplicably.

Tao Fengming stood on the back of the crane, directing the white crane to go to one side.

There was a sudden shout in the sky, and a figure came quickly.

"Who is here?!"

The sound came out instantly, and a figure covered in red light appeared on the side of the white crane, and the monstrous momentum suddenly surged, and Song Mu couldn't open his eyes.

It was a man wearing armor all over his body, and red light burst out from his armor. At this moment, a pair of red eyes under the helmet were looking at Song Mu and the two of them, and the spear in his hand burst into flames.

This is a Jinshi of the human race!
"Come to watch the battle, this is the waist card!"

Tao Fengming was calm at the moment, he just glanced at the other party, and then threw out something in his hand.

A piece of pink peach petal-shaped object fell lightly into the hand of the man at this moment, and the man caught it suddenly when he saw the message on it, and immediately restrained his fire red by three points, and saluted Tao Fengming with the spear in his hand.

"It turned out to be of the adult race, and I'm high-sounding, and I'm here to guard the battlefield!"

"Gao Xiang? Are you a Jinshi in the third year of Chongwen?"

Tao Fengming spoke immediately, and Gao Xiang raised his brows immediately, with an even more respectful expression.

"That's right, senior, Nanwu City is currently engaged in a war, and no one from a hundred miles away is allowed to enter, senior, please don't embarrass me."

Tao Fengming waved his hand, and the white crane under his feet let out a cry, and then landed gently.

"I know, you go."

"Farewell!"

Hearing this, Gao Xiang cupped his hands immediately, and left from here the next moment, turning into a fiery red figure again and rushing into the distance.

Song Mu watched these scenes intently, and was also surprised at the moment.

The Jinshi in this army is completely different from the officials I usually see. They don't have any sensual appearance, but they are arrogant and domineering, showing their majesty.

"This is the rule in the army, but this Gao Xiang is not an ordinary person. He is a descendant of the Gao family. He entered the realm of scholar at the age of 20 and went to the army to practice. Being promoted in the army is quite different from ordinary scholars."

At this time the white crane landed, Tao Fengming turned around and said to Song Mu, and then jumped off the white crane with Song Mu.

At this moment, the two of them were standing on the hillside, and unexpectedly they could see the scene in the distance. Although it was just an image of the horizon, it still felt shocking.

"The Wen Dynasty gathered armies from all four sides, and then assisted Changanwei. The five armies were selected from the world's literati to build them, each with millions of troops, and their combat power was strong."

"However, do you know which of these troops is the strongest?"

When Tao Fengming said this suddenly, Song Mu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately responded.

"Could it be the Southern Frontier Army?"

Tao Fengming smiled, and shook his head slowly the next moment.

"The eastern frontier army is the strongest. They are not facing land monsters, but underwater sea monsters."

Song Mu's heart was shocked, and he was calm at this moment. Indeed, in this strange world, the most difficult monsters to resist are not actually in this vast land, but on the contrary, they are in the endless ocean.

You must know that the monster race still has a demon god living in the ocean. After the stars fell and the monsters gradually rose, the monster race regarded the ocean as their own territory. It's the Kraken that turns the clouds upside down.

"But if you talk about the people commanding the five armies, it doesn't matter the strength, let's talk about the strategy."

Tao Fengming said again at this moment, but there was a bit of emotion in those eyes.

"Now he is Tao Sheng, who is not yet sixty years old."

Song Mu's heart was shocked, and he was also surprised at the moment. It turned out that Tao Sheng was the governor of Southern Xinjiang. Not only was he quite young, but his strength was also extremely terrifying.

At this moment, Tao Fengming seemed to be immersed in memories again, and said slowly at this moment.

"In the past, when I was in the Hanlin realm, I was the commander of the Eastern Frontier Army."

Tao Fengming's words were astonishing.

"Tao Sheng is my deputy. He once fought nine sea monsters and was honored in Ryukyu. He won the world's coastal waters for the common people to enjoy."

"However, at this critical moment, he was pulled from the bottom of the pot."
