Kunlun one millet

chapter 227

"For the altar to be in order, Marquis Zhenming is currently taking a bath and changing clothes. For the time being, I will lead you to the Jiaofa Cave."

In the post house, Xu Zhouzi was facing more than ten disciples of Chongxuan Hall, and outside the post house were more than [-] armored soldiers, who looked like they were ready for battle.

With Zhao Mi's permission, Xu Zhouzi hurriedly went to Da Sima Luoyi, and borrowed hundreds of soldiers from him.And thanks to the Jinding Division's branch in Jianjia Pass, many of these soldiers are equipped with rune soldiers, rune arrows, and they are also capable of fighting against monks and magicians.

Xu Zhouzi observed for a long time, in the hands of the people sent by the Chongxuan Hall, except for the half-hidden Jing Shi whose cultivation level is fair, the rest are ordinary people, with superficial and frivolous aura, and none of them condenses the profound beads.

Although there are many people in the Chongxuan Pavilion, there are still a few who are truly successful.As far as Xu Zhouzi knew, many people changed their surname to Liang in order to worship under the Chongxuan Pavilion, and Liang Tao did not stop it, because this move would strengthen the sparsely populated Yongjia Liang family.

Xu Zhouzi looked down on these people very much, they didn't have much yearning for the Dao of the Immortal Family in their hearts, they just admired the power and status of Chongxuanguan and Liang Tao, at best they were a group of flatterers.

There are only a lot of people like this in the Chongxuan Pavilion. They either stay in the Difei Mountain and consume a lot of metals and eight stones, burn elixirs, or search for spiritual materials everywhere, and they are inexhaustible. abound.

And Liang Tao is clearly a living fairy family, but still shields these treacherous villains, it is no wonder that it will cause resentment from all parties.

"Several, please." Xu Zhouzi saw that the disciples of the Chongxuan Hall did not move, so he had to signal and urge: "We can't let Marquis Zhenming do all the trivial things, right? Let's take a step first to get things done as soon as possible. .”

Jing Shi was silent for a moment, did not refuse, and led a group of Chongxuanguan disciples out of the posthouse. Under the guard of hundreds of soldiers, they boarded a carriage and set off for the Jiaolu Cave.

All the way was safe and sound, seeing that the Jiaobo Cave was not far away, Xu Zhouzi led the team into a tree-lined path.From time to time in the forest, there were sharp and unpleasant crows, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.

The soldiers on both sides walked silently, except for the rustling of armor, there was only the occasional coughing sound. A group of Chongxuan Hall disciples sat in three carriages, shaking with the undulating ground.

Xu Zhouzi, as the head of the Jiangzhen Hall, had also experienced the fighting scenes of the Five Kingdoms War. He knew very well that although the body, muscles and bones of a cultivator have been tempered by true energy for a long time, they are far stronger than ordinary people. Before, it is always a body of flesh and blood.

During the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, there were many monks and warlocks who, relying on their superb skills, braved thousands of troops, but were still chopped into meat paste by ordinary soldiers.

Xu Zhouzi is fully confident that he and Da Sima's hundreds of elite soldiers are enough to deal with these juniors.

"Why did you stop in front?"

When Xu Zhouzi was thinking about it, he saw soldiers and horses in front of him stop, and a small school came to report: "The road is blocked by mud and rocks, and it is currently being cleared!"

"Oh, that's how it is." Xu Zhouzi said so, but he gestured to the junior, who nodded slightly, and directed orders to the soldiers on the left and right.

Almost in the blink of an eye, hundreds of elite soldiers surrounded the sides of the carriage, with spears like a forest, piercing through the weak carriage in an instant.

"rise!"

With an order, the soldiers on both sides worked together to overturn the carriage, and among the flying sawdust and rags, more than a dozen monks from the Chongxuan Pavilion jumped up, but they didn't even utter a single exclamation or reprimand.

"Fire arrows!"

The elite soldiers under Da Sima's command cooperated tacitly, and before the monks landed, the strong bow and crossbow were fully charged, and the talisman arrows were shot through the air from the string.

However, a mass of jet-black mist rapidly expanded, and the talisman arrow seemed to be shot into the water, and the castration slowed down.

"Sure enough, you came prepared!" Xu Zhouzi sneered coldly, and made a gesture with his hands together, the branches and leaves above shook wildly, and the shape-killing golden ax came pressing on the top, shining the golden light in the forest.

However, the cultivators in Chongxuan Pavilion did not face head-on, and flew out from the ink cloud, most of them holding sharp-edged short daggers. They shook off their loose robes, revealing their slim and neat black clothes.

This group of black-clothed men rushed into the army in the shape of lightning, and they did not stop for a moment. They were like swimming fish swimming among the water and grass, and they freely interspersed among the soldiers in the formation. Harvest a life.

"wrong!"

Xu Zhouzi was startled suddenly, he immediately saw that this group of disciples from Chongxuan Hall was unusual, such agility and fierce means, both swordsman and assassin background, if not for a long time of killing, it would be impossible to display it.

Without waiting for a warning, Jing Shi, with a half-covered face and a black sword in his hand, sprang out of the black mist and charged towards Xu Zhouzi.The Xingxing golden ax landed in the air, twisting the chariots and horses into pieces.

Xu Zhouzi backed away quickly, raised his hand and opened his fingers, a golden lotus bud appeared in his palm, and it bloomed instantly.The golden lotus is bigger than the wheel, and there is a ball of burning fire at the position of the lotus heart, and the flames flicker in and out.

This is the "Golden Lotus Fire-breathing Hand" secretly handed down by the Jiangzhen Hall, which is both offensive and defensive. If a strong enemy comes close to you, a golden lotus can be compared to an iron barrier, which can stop the enemy's attack.And the lotus heart fire bead contains a huge power enough to burn dozens of feet in a radius, and it gathers all the power to explode within a short distance, which is Xu Zhouzi's ultimate move!
Originally, Xu Zhouzi didn't intend to use such a powerful method, but Jing Shi's offensive was too fast and too fierce. In order to protect himself in desperation, he had no choice but to give it a go.

The golden lotus blooms like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth, and the lotus heart fire bead is spinning around, shining continuously, and it is about to burst out with great power in the next moment.

Unexpectedly, Jing Shi's figure turned into a cloud of black shadows, avoiding the raging flames spit out from the front of Jinlian with an unreasonable movement.

Jin Lian breathed out fire, and the trees in front of her were exhausted. In just a moment, the trees hundreds of feet away immediately turned into fly ash.Looking down from the sky, the dense forest looks like tofu, a piece of which was dug out with a spoon, and the embers on both sides are slowly burning.

However, the current situation does not allow Xu Zhouzi to be complacent at all. Before he could figure out how Jing Shi avoided his ultimate move, he noticed that Mo Ying reappeared from the side, and a sword shadow stabbed straight at him.

After all, Xu Zhouzi is a person who has experienced the dangers of the battlefield. He doesn't need to make formulas, chant mantras, and burn talismans. The life-protecting general will take the initiative to appear.

The god held the might of the iron whip to break the mountain, and scattered the shadow of the sword with one blow, as if pouring a pot of thick ink.

However, the thick ink was flying, and immediately turned into thousands of sword shadows, spinning around and attacking again!

Seeing this, Xu Zhouzi turned pale with shock, how could it be possible for a junior like Jing Shi to be able to use such a skill?

When the mind was in a hurry, the god general swung the iron whip, dancing into a wall of copper and iron, and every sword shadow had the power to split gold and break rocks. Where the iron whip passed, the sword shadow shattered, and black clouds and black mist exploded in all directions .

The ink cloud and black mist drifted away, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a sword shadow and killed him again. With just a few breaths, Xu Zhouzi was trapped in the dense sword net.

Xu Zhouzi just couldn't believe it, obviously he had sensed Jing Shi's whole body before, and he might not even have the Condensed Profound Pearl, but the cultivation power revealed at this moment is not inferior to his own at all.

"Are you trying to hide your clumsiness on purpose?" Xu Zhouzi knew he was playing the trick, at this moment all the soldiers below had been killed by the group of black-clothed men, howling everywhere and being routed.

However, Jing Shi remained silent, and Xu Zhouzi couldn't even grasp her exact position. This made him frightened and angry. He immediately pulled out a mourning stick full of charms from his sleeve, waved his hand, and suddenly the wind blew up, and countless souls were called And to.

The Jianghu Pavilion was originally formed by a group of quack warlocks and casual cultivators from other sects. There are good and evil in the use of spells, and naturally it also includes such means of driving the ghosts of the dead.

The yin wind was not violent, but it easily tore a gap in the black clouds and black mist. Xu Zhouzi rushed out of the encirclement directly under the cover of the generals, and also summoned the dead souls to make ghost cries, which shook the soul and prevented the pursuit.

Looking back, hundreds of soldiers and horses have been killed to pieces. Those seemingly ordinary disciples of Chongxuan Pavilion are all people with profound mana.

"How could there be so many masters in the Chongxuan Hall all of a sudden?!" Xu Zhouzi ran away in a hurry: "Since they have set up such a formation, it seems that they not only want to kill me, but they may turn around and deal with Zhao Mi!"

Xu Zhouzi took out a spell, put it on his lips and recited it in a low voice, intending to convey the situation here.He raised the talisman towards the sky, and just as he was about to cast it, a beam of sword light swept over for no reason, cutting off the wrist above, interrupting the spell.

A few drops of blood fell on his face before Xu Zhouzi felt the pain.Before he could react, a long sword shot towards him, easily killed the guardian of life, pierced Xu Zhouzi's chest, and nailed him to a big tree.

"puff!"

Xu Zhouzi spat out blood clots with his mouth open, with only one blow of the sword, more than half of his viscera, muscles and bones were shattered.He looked down, the long sword piercing his chest was like a pool of autumn water, and the star symbol was looming.

Before taking a closer look, the long sword came out, Xu Zhouzi fell from a high place, and almost turned into a puddle of mud, relying on his cultivation base, he would not die immediately.

Xu Zhouzi tried his best to turn his eyes, and saw a man with eagle brows and falcon eyes, dressed in black and strong clothes, holding a long sword, slowly approaching.

"You... What are you..." Even if Xu Zhouzi uttered a single word at this moment, he would suffer the pain of being hacked into pieces.

"You don't even know me?" The man in black sneered twice: "That's right, you should have never seen my appearance like this. When I was patrolling the country with a sword, it was only a few years since you entered Taoism."

Hearing the sword patrol, Xu Zhouzi immediately understood that the man in black in front of him was Liang Tao, and he was extremely shocked. If this person was Liang Tao, then the person who was usually in the court hall, could it be just a clone?
Xu Zhouzi had seen that clone cast spells before, and he admitted that no matter how hard he practiced, he couldn't keep up with him.But a mere avatar possesses such cultivation power, how powerful is Liang Tao himself? !
"No, don't..." Xu Zhouzi was at the end of his life and was speechless.

Liang Tao pointed from a distance: "What are your last words, but it's okay to say."

Xu Zhouzi got a trace of true energy to protect his life, and said with all his strength: "Don't hurt Zhao Mi! He only wants to benefit the common people, I beg you, don't kill him!"

Liang Tao paused for a while, but the lingering sound was still echoing in his ears, the light in Xu Zhouzi's eyes lost his luster, and he died at this point.

Looking at Xu Zhouzi's body, Liang Tao muttered to himself, "I won't kill him."

After a while, Jing Shi and a group of guests in black came to Liang Tao, and said in unison: "See you, master."

Liang Tao waved his hand lightly, and Xu Zhouzi's body immediately turned into dust and scattered: "If I don't make a move, you will almost miss the big fish."

"The subordinate is incompetent, let the master down." Jing Shi lowered his head and said.

"Forget it, after all, it is the first seat of the museum, and there are three catties of nails on a bad boat, so just remember the lesson." Liang Tao said.

"Master, what should we do with those dead soldiers?" Jing Shi asked.

Liang Tao thought for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "Don't worry about it, just stay here. Luo Yi privately borrowed soldiers and horses to Xu Zhouzi, and his intentions are very clear. This fat man seems to be rude, but in fact he has many and poisonous eyes. It's better to leave corpses all over the floor and make him more suspicious."

"Yes." Jing Shi replied with a nod.

Liang Tao continued: "When you meet Zhao Shu later, tell the truth about the situation here. He won't be clear about the purpose of my sending you here, but he still let Xu Zhouzi seek his own death. It seems that he has finally let go of that pedantry. Tempted."

……

Looking at the mountain wall engraved with talismans and seals, Zhao Mi used the Yingxuan lighting technique to carefully distinguish and analyze the charm of talismans and seals, translate the metaphysics, and occasionally raised his hand to write empty books.

"Deacon Zhao, I chiseled these talismans according to the album you sent, and filled them with fine cinnabar." Zheng Siyuan asked: "However, I found that these talismans are similar to the treasures handed down by our Chongxuan Hall. There are some similarities between the runes, I don't know why?"

Zhao Mi had no choice but to talk nonsense: "During the Tianxia Dynasty, all the emperors had the Chongxuan Pavilion, and the ritual talisman diagrams used by the officials of praise inevitably integrated the essence of various schools, and it is similar to your Chongxuan Pavilion's inheritance, so it is not a strange thing to think about it. "

Zheng Siyuan didn't have any doubts, just nodded slightly. Seeing Jing Shi coming to the Jiaofa Cave, he asked with some doubts: "Where is Xu Zhouzi the first seat? Didn't he come with you?"

Jing Shi didn't answer, but looked at Zhao Mi and said, "I have something to talk to you alone."

Zheng Siyuan left knowingly, Jing Shi said: "Xu Zhouzi colluded with Chief Sima Luoyi, intending to ambush and kill us."

"Xu Zhouzi was killed by you?" Zhao Mi just asked indifferently.

"Yes." Jing Shi replied, "The first seat himself took action, and he ordered me to tell you the truth."

"I see." Zhao Mi's face was calm, but his heart was extremely sad.

Ever since Liang Tao sent Jing Shi here, he expected that the other party wanted to eradicate all the people around Zhao Mi who might hinder the plan.This can not only ensure that the mandala is properly arranged, but also completely leave Zhao Mi with nowhere to retreat.

When Xu Zhouzi received a letter from Ding Feiling, he stepped into the trap from the very beginning.In addition, he planned to strike first, so he was destined to face Liang Tao's vicious killer.

Zhao Mi persuaded Xu Zhouzi that if he could obey, he might be able to save his life temporarily.However, Xu Zhouzi and Liang Tao have a deep hatred, and they insist on taking the disciples of Chongxuan Hall as revenge.

It's a pity that all of this was in Liang Tao's calculations, and Xu Zhouzi still failed to escape the disaster after all.

However, Zhao Mi was able to break through with Xu Zhouzi, but he still led him to a dead end.

Zhao Mi has never hated himself so much as now. In order to achieve his wish of being a Taoist country on earth, his words are full of lies and his actions are full of conspiracy and tricks. The former Zhao Mi, who had a bright heart, sank step by step like this After all, there is no cure.
