Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 365: The Wise Fox and the Descending Tiger

Guangmingding!
Although West Kunlun is only separated from Kunlun Sect by a mountain range, they are actually very far apart.

This Bright Summit is ten thousand feet high, with peaks upon peaks, all covered with snow, resembling the shape of a snow-capped mountain in the Western Regions.

The main peak is called Holy Fire Peak. There are a large number of buildings on it, and the palaces stand side by side, which looks beautiful. At this time, Chen Jie drove the carriage to the foot of the main peak.

From a distance, there are three checkpoints on the top of the mountain, each with a smoke tower. If one side is in trouble, the smoke tower can be lit immediately to carry out rescue.

At this time, Chen Jie said to Liu Caidie who was already asleep in the car: "Miss Liu has arrived at Guangmingding."

Liu Caidie woke up in a daze, reached out to unfasten the curtain on the car window, looked up and went out, and yawned.

Ah ~
Then he opened his mouth and said, "Don't stop, keep going, my old servant."

Chen Jie didn't say anything after hearing this, but urged the carriage road: "Miss Liu, I want to discuss something with you."

Liu Caidie said: "Oh, you want to discuss something with me. It's rare. Tell me, what is it?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Liu Caidie and said, "After we go up the mountain, don't reveal my identity yet. Let me be your old servant first."

Liu Caidie laughed when she heard this and said, "Haha, Chen Jiusi, do you have too many enemies? Are you afraid of being discovered and punished?"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Hahaha, Miss Liu is really smart. It's true that Chen has made too many enemies, especially on Guangmingding."

After hearing this, Liu Caidie said, "Well, since you said so, I have nothing else to say. You can continue to be my servant. Anyway, I am not on Guangming Peak all year round, and no one knows who is around me."

Liu Caidie was speaking, and Chen Jie glanced at her and followed her directly there.

"Thanks."

Liu Caidie said: "You're welcome, just don't forget our deal."

Chen Jie smiled and did not answer. Soon the car arrived at the foot of Guangmingding Mountain. At this time, he heard a voice: "Stop."

Soon after, a group of people in red clothes came running over. Seeing the appearance of these people, Liu Caidie said, "They are the people of the Fiery Flag."

After hearing this, Chen Jie was stunned. Chen Jie had a very clear understanding of the structure of Zoroastrianism.

The strongest among them is the leader Han Shantong, followed by two others, namely Liu Futong, the Monk of Foolish Mountain, and Peng Yingyu, the Laughing Buddha.

Below them are the Four Dharma Kings, namely Fang Guozhen, the Dragon King who enters the sea, Du Zundao, the tiger who descends the mountain, Guan Xiansheng, the wise fox, and Han Miaozhen, the phoenix.

Under the four great Dharma Kings are two parallel forces.

They are the Twelve Elders and the Five Elements Flags.

The status of the Twelve Elders is more like that of civil servants, because they are mainly responsible for managing the Zoroastrian branches across the country and are their supervisors.

The Five Elements Flag only obeys the orders of the leader and is the direct force of the sect. It can be compared to the three ace troops of the imperial court, the Baoxiang Army, the Canglang Army, and the Bailu Army.

The Five Elements Flag was the army directly under the leader of the sect. Later, when Han Shantong died in battle, the control of the Five Elements Flag was transferred to Liu Futong.

But Liu Futong didn't like vulgar things very much, so he handed over the management of the Five Elements Flag to Du Zundao, the Downhill Tiger, and Mr. Guan, the Wise Fox.

So now the Five Elements Flag is basically controlled by the two Dharma Kings.

Among them, the three chess pieces, Ruijin, Jumu and Hongshui, are controlled by Du Zundao, the descending tiger.

The two flags of Fiery Fire and Thick Earth are controlled by Mr. Duozhi Huguan.

This time, the ones who came to stop Chen Jie were the disciples of the Fiery Flag.

The disciples of the Fiery Flag wear red clothes and carry a huge gourd on their bodies, which is their weapon.

According to Liu Caidie's introduction, the flag bearer of the Fiery Flag is Xing Ran, who is good at using the Flame Palm and especially the fire-breathing technique, which is a necessary skill for the entire Fiery Flag. Every member of the Fiery Flag is equipped with a secret large gourd, which is filled with petroleum laced with explosives.

That’s right, it’s oil, and this era is called oil.

For the sake of popular science, don’t think that oil is a modern term. In fact, the term oil was first proposed by Shen Kuo, a politician and scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, you may not be able to think of Shen Kuo at the first time, but his work is famous enough, that is "Mengxi Bitan".

It was recorded that Shen Kuo discovered a black liquid in Yanzhou in 1080, the third year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty. After observation and research, he believed that this liquid was flowing out of the stone. It was shaped like oil rather than water, had terrible flammability, and was difficult to extinguish. Based on the characteristic that it was oil coming out of the stone, it was named petroleum!
The Fire Department is an expert in using petroleum. They mix petroleum, sulfur and other substances to create their secret kerosene.

When fighting the enemy, just open the gourd lid and use the flamethrower to ignite the kerosene to start a raging fire. Moreover, the kerosene has strong adhesion. Once it is sprayed out and lands on the enemy, it will be an inextinguishable flame. Unless you can bear the pain and cut off your skin, it will be of no use.

What's more important is that the Fiery Flag is not fighting alone, but has more than 3,000 people. Don't underestimate these 3,000 people. You must know that when these 3,000 people erupt the flames together, even the masters of the Melting God Realm have to temporarily avoid the edge.

It can be said that if other soldiers are considered ordinary soldiers, the Baoxiang Army, the Canglang Army, and the Bailu Army are considered elite soldiers, then the Liehuoqi Army is a special forces army.

There are a total of four flags like the Fiery Flag.

Each flag has their strengths.

For example, the Ruijin Banner, whose flag bearer is Wu Jincao, is a long-range attack unit. Each of them is equipped with a set of bows and arrows, with a total of thirty-eight arrows. Each arrow is made using top-level fire-making technology and has extremely strong lethality.

This is the first line of defense of the Ruijin Banner. After all the arrows are shot, they still have twenty-four long javelins, which are also used for long-range throwing.

In the end, each person had twelve short throwing axes, and they almost never missed their targets. After this round of long-range attacks was over, the Sharp Gold Flag still had eight darts and a short knife for self-defense.

It can be said that the Sharp Gold Banner is actually a long-range archer with strong lethality but weak defense. Its advantages and disadvantages are very prominent.

Therefore, the Sharp Gold Flag usually appears together with the Giant Wood Flag.

The Giant Tree Flag, whose bearer is Wen Cangsong, is nearly two meters tall, like an iron tower. Height is also a symbol of the Giant Tree Flag, and the flag bearer is the strongest and tallest man in the army.

The average height is 1.8 meters.

Each of them is burly and strong, with muscles all over the body. There are a total of 1,800 people in the entire Giant Tree Flag. Each of them is wearing heavy armor and holding a thousand-pound giant tree in their hands. After the formation is formed, they are usually at the front, charging around with the giant tree in their hands. Even a wild horse finds it difficult to compete with them. They are the strongest meat shields on the battlefield.

It is difficult to break through their defenses, and the most terrifying thing is that they are often used in conjunction with the Sharp Gold Flag.

They were taking the damage in the front, while Sharp Gold Flag was outputing crazily in the back. It was difficult for anyone to break through the cooperation between the two. Often, as soon as they appeared on the battlefield, this area became a harvest field.

The fighting power is amazing.

In addition to the giant tree flag, there is also the flood flag.

The flag bearer of the Flood Flag is Tang Yang, who is from the Poison Sect of the Zoroastrianism. The disciples of the Flood Flag, like the disciples of the Fiery Flag, all carry a large gourd on their backs. The gourd is filled with a prepared corpse-dissolving water that has the terrifying effect of dissolving flesh and bones. During a battle, if it is sprayed a little, the skin will start to fester if it sticks to it, and the bones will not be able to resist, and the person will soon be turned into a pool of thick water.

It is the most terrifying existence among the Five Elements Flags.

Together with the Fiery Flag, they are known as the Two Poisons of the Five Elements. One of them is a highly toxic potion, and the other is an eternal flame. If one sticks to it, it will dissolve the flesh and bones, while the other one cannot be extinguished unless the flesh is removed.

You can tell whether it is poisonous or not at a glance.

Apart from these few people, there is only the last thick earth flag left.

The flag bearer of the Thick Earth Flag is Yan Heng. The members of the Thick Earth Flag are good at the art of escaping underground. They are good at tunneling underground. They are usually responsible for building roads and bridges when encountering mountains and rivers. They can often lead the troops to emerge from unexpected places and win the battle.

This brings us to the Battle of Rongguan. In that battle, the enemy besieged the rear army of the Zoroastrians and cut off the passage. If the Zoroastrians had followed the conventional route, they would definitely not have been able to catch up with the rescue.

The biggest obstacle between them was a hill, so Hou Tuqi was given the task and dug through the hill in just one day and one night. The enemy was forced to flee in panic, and they returned with a great victory.

This was the battle that Houtu Banner was most proud of at that time.

The Five Elements Flag is the most elite 10,000-man force of the entire Zoroastrianism, and is also the ultimate foundation of Zoroastrianism.

When Han Shantong died in battle at Wending Mountain, the entire Zoroastrianism was able to survive and did not collapse, not only because of Liu Futong and other masters, but the most important factor that contributed to this was the Five Elements Flag.

Chen Jie thought about the introduction of the Zoroastrianism Five Elements Flag and had his own thoughts in his eyes.

Now the gatekeepers at Guangmingding are all people with the Five Elements Flags. What does this mean?
This showed that the people on Guangmingding were aware of the bad situation and had begun martial law. After figuring this out, Chen Jie stopped the carriage and continued to pretend to be an old servant, waiting for the Zoroastrians to come forward.

Soon, the people from the Fiery Flag came over and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Who are you? If you don't have anything else, leave now. Don't come to Bright Summit for the time being."

Chen Jie looked at the people with the Fiery Flag and asked, "Heroes, is there any trouble on Bright Summit?"

The Fiery Flags said, "Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about. Go back."

"Our young lady came here for Bright Summit, and she needs her consent to go back."

As soon as these words came out, the people of the Fiery Flag turned around and looked at the carriage road: "Who is your young lady? Don't you know that we don't allow people here..."

At this moment, a token was handed out from the carriage. It had a strange shape, as if it was made of some kind of wood, but it emitted a scorching temperature.

There is a word "Liu" engraved on the token.

When they saw the token, the people of the Fiery Flag were stunned, and then they looked at each other.

"You wait."

After saying that, the people of the Fiery Flag ran to the top of the mountain. Seeing this scene, Chen Jie thought to himself that they would not look for them.

As he was thinking this, he soon saw the people of the Fiery Flag running down quickly, followed by a man with extraordinary bearing, whose strength should be at the Furnace Realm.

He was dressed in red, his eyes were like lightning, and his eyebrows were shaped like a figure eight. It was not known whether he dyed his eyebrows intentionally or if it was the backlash of his martial arts training that made his eyebrows all red.

He carried an exceptionally large red gourd on his back, which was larger than any other member of the Fiery Flag. He walked quickly to the front of the carriage and said, "Xing Ran, the flag bearer of the Fiery Flag, greets the young lady."

After hearing this, a voice came from inside the car: "Thank you for your hard work, the flag bearer. I didn't expect that the flag bearer would pick me up in person."

Xing Ran said, "The situation is special now. We have received intelligence that the three armies of the imperial court and the six major sects are ready to fight to the death with our Holy Church. We have no choice but to prepare for defense." After hearing this, Liu Caidie said, "Well, I also knew about this, so I rushed back. By the way, Grandpa is in the mountain."

"Here I am."

Xing Ran replied, and Liu Caidie said, "Then let me go up the mountain quickly."

Hearing this, Xing Ran said, "Yes, but Miss, please get off the carriage and move to the carriage inside the church. Mr. Guan has ordered that no one from outside is allowed to enter."

After hearing this, Liu Caidie frowned and said, "Can I be an exception?"

Xing Ran said: "Miss, the wartime management state has been activated on Guangmingding at this time. You know, I am not kidding you."

As Xing Ran waved, a carriage came down the mountain. When Liu Caidie heard that it was wartime management, she knew it was no joke, so she got off the carriage obediently.

At this time, Xing Ran looked at Chen Jie and asked, "What is this?"

Liu Caidie said, "This is the servant my grandfather assigned to me. He has been with me for a few years. Why would he want to deprive him of his power?"

Hearing this, Xing Ran looked at Liu Caidie and said, "How dare I? Since it is arranged by the Master, I will just make a simple record."

Xing Ran waved his hand, and soon someone came to ask Chen Jie some relevant information. Chen Jie answered according to what Liu Caidie taught him.

Liu Caidie changed a carriage and then headed straight to the top of the mountain under the leadership of Xing Ran.

After passing three levels, Chen Jie witnessed the powerful defensive power of Guangmingding. No wonder the imperial court itself did not dare to attack Guangmingding easily. Just relying on the powerful defensive power of Guangmingding, it would be difficult for the imperial court army to take it down easily.

In this way, the group went straight through the three levels and arrived at the real main peak of Guangmingding, the Holy Fire Peak.

At this time, Liu Caidie got off the carriage and saw that someone had already notified the people on the mountain. She saw a middle-aged scholar in white clothes, holding a folding fan, waiting with a smile.

When Liu Caidie saw the middle-aged scholar, she immediately jumped off the carriage and rushed towards him at high speed. When she got close, she hugged him directly.

This was actually considered a very impolite behavior in terms of etiquette, but the middle-aged scholar just laughed and said, "You are already a grown-up girl, but you are still so impetuous. How can you be so impolite?"

"Uncle Guan, did I miss you?"

Liu Caidie said with a smile, and the middle-aged scholar shook his head helplessly, wondering why this girl never grew up. At the same time, he glanced at Chen Jie and said, "Why did you bring back an old servant this time?"

Liu Caidie said: "Oh, I dumped all the people that Grandpa assigned to me, but this one is more pleasing to the eye, so I kept him, hehe..."

Mr. Guan said, "Nonsense."

Liu Caidie looked at Mr. Guan aggrievedly, and Mr. Guan couldn't bear to blame her, so he said, "Don't do that next time."

After hearing this, Liu Caidie said, "Yes, Caidie will obey Uncle Guan's orders."

Mr. Guan shook his head helplessly, and at this moment a voice suddenly came over: "Sister Caidie."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Caidie's face suddenly turned dark. That annoying guy was here.

As expected, as I heard the voice, I saw a burly, broad-shouldered, dark-complexioned young man walking towards me. At this time, Liu Caidie had a big smile on her face, just like a dog.

Mr. Guan saw Liu Caidie's face full of disgust, smiled and said nothing.

Then the big black boy came over and said, "Sister Caidie, you're back, hehe..."

Liu Caidie didn't want to talk to the big black boy, but Mr. Guan said, "Caidie, Axiong is greeting you, why don't you say anything?"

Caidie looked at Mr. Guan, then said reluctantly, "Well, I'm back."

The big black man, A Xiong, saw Caidie's look, but he didn't care at all and continued to say, "Caidie, you don't know how much I've missed you in the past two years. Let me tell you, my axe skills have improved a lot in the past two years. You definitely can't beat me now."

The big black guy had a face full of pride. Liu Caidie glanced at the big black guy's face full of displeasure and tried to ignore him, but the big black guy was like a dog-skin plaster and kept chattering beside her.

Liu Caidie immediately said, "Uncle Guan, where is my grandpa?"

Mr. Guan hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and his attitude obviously changed a bit, but he still smiled and said, "The Venerable is in retreat, so I'm afraid he can't meet you. You should stay here with Uncle Guan for a few days, and when your grandfather comes out of retreat, Uncle will bring you to see him."

Liu Caidie was very surprised when she heard this and looked at Mr. Guan and said, "He is in seclusion. How can my grandfather be in seclusion when there is a powerful enemy at hand?"

After hearing this, Mr. Guan said, "It is precisely because of the powerful enemy at hand that your grandfather is considering how to repel the enemy, so he is in seclusion to think of a strategy to defeat the enemy."

"Yes, Caidie, Grandpa Liu is in seclusion, and I am here. I can play with you, Caidie."

Upon hearing this, Liu Caidie glanced at Du Xiong. She had no good feelings towards Du Xiong at all. Her face was gloomy at this moment, but Du Xiong was unaware of it.

At this moment, someone suddenly appeared in the distance half-kneeling and saluting: "Your Majesty."

Everyone turned their heads and saw a sturdy man in purple clothes and a black cloak, striding towards them with a strong back and strong waist, his eyes holding a chilling light. Yes, this man was the second of the four famous Dharma Kings, Du Zundao.

Du Zundao glanced around, his eyes passed over Chen Jie, and finally fell on Liu Caidie. He looked at Liu Caidie and said, "Caidie is back."

Liu Caidie turned around and saw Du Zundao.

"Meet Uncle Du."

Liu Caidie bowed very politely. Du Zundao glanced at her and said, "Oh, Caidie is back."

Liu Caidie said: "Well, Uncle Du just came back."

Du Zundao said, "Well, it's not too bad. The situation outside is dangerous now. The six major sects and the imperial court are all competing with our Zoroastrianism. An important person like you should stop hanging around outside. It's better to come back."

"At least the elders are here."

"Yes."

Liu Caidie responded, followed Du Zundao and looked at Mr. Guan and said, "Mr. Guan, come with me."

Mr. Guan looked at Du Zundao and said directly: "Come here, help Caidie prepare a house."

After hearing this, Du Xiong said, "Uncle Guan, leave these small matters to me. I'll take Caidie to rest."

Mr. Guan looked at Du Xiong and said, "Okay."

However, Du Zundao on the side looked at his son with a dark face, which looked a bit ugly, what a useless thing.

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, they suddenly heard a cry of surprise: "Ah, colorful butterfly!"

Hearing the voice, everyone immediately turned around and saw a mischievous little girl, who looked at Caidie with excitement.

Chen Jie recognized her at first glance. She was Han Linger, the Zoroastrian saint who had helped him in the past.

Han Linger exclaimed at this time: "Cai Die, you are back."

"Ling'er, ah, long time no see!"

The two lively and active girls naturally embraced each other warmly when they met. They hugged each other excitedly with smiles on their faces.

"Hahaha……"

Holding hands and starting to spin around, to be frank, this behavior is quite childish.

"Cai Die, why don't you come to see me first when you come back?"

Liu Caidie said: "Oh, didn't I just come back and meet Uncle Guan and his friends? Uncle Guan just wanted to help me find a house to live in."

"Then what are you looking for? Just live next to me."

Han Linger made the final decision, and Liu Caidie said, "Okay, I'll live here with Caidie."

Han Linger turned to look at Mr. Guan and Du Zundao and said, "Uncles, do you have anything else to do with Caidie?"

The two shook their heads and said, "It's okay."

"Then I will leave with Caidie first. Let's go Caidie."

Han Linger took the colorful butterfly and left. Du Xiong looked at her and said, "I'll give you the colorful butterfly."

Han Linger heard this and said, "I'll take you there, why would I need you? Go back."

"I……"

Du Xiong looked at Han Ling'er angrily and wanted to say something, but at this time Du Zundao shouted, "Axiong, go back."

Du Xiong looked up at his father. He wanted to argue, but he couldn't say a word. He could only look at Liu Caidie reluctantly and said, "Well, Caidie, I'll come to see you when I have time."

Seeing Du Xiong like this, Du Zundao's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He couldn't stand his own son bootlicking like this. He wanted to slap this useless guy to death.

But this useless thing just wouldn't listen, and could only glare at Du Xiong fiercely, then looked at Mr. Guan and said, "Old Guan, let's talk business first."

Mr. Guan nodded, then left with Du Zundao. Du Xiong looked at Liu Caidie reluctantly, then left with Du Zundao. He knew that he would definitely be scolded by his father this time.

In this way, the group came to the small gathering hall. At this time, Du Zundao dismissed his attendants and ordered them to close the doors and windows and not allow anyone to eavesdrop.

Seeing how much he was making such a fuss, Mr. Guan frowned and asked, "Old Du, what's going on so mysteriously?"

Du Zundao sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Guixu is rioting, we can enter Guixu now!"
