The soldiers and horses of King Shen of the capital surrounded and attacked the city with drums. The famous generals of Yinyue Kingdom guarded the four directions. Recently, the Qiang people made trouble in the west again.
Only the southern garrison could spare their hands, but it was summer, and the frequent floods obviously stopped the southern army's footsteps, and the reinforcements were delayed, so Wangcheng became so isolated and helpless.
Before the reinforcements from the south arrived, only the 80,000 imperial troops directly under the old emperor could protect the royal city. It's ridiculous to say that the capital was completely surrounded by King Shen's 50,000 iron hooves. One side put all their eggs in one basket, while the other wanted to ensure that all the royal relatives in the city were safe under King Shen's wrath... Three battles were played, and the imperial army lost three times. People in the entire imperial city were in panic, from the princes and nobles down to the street beggars who made sarcastic remarks a month ago, all fell into panic.
With the hearts of the people scattered, Wangcheng may not be able to wait for the day when the reinforcements arrive. The old emperor probably finally made up his mind. When King Shen's army attacked the city again, almost all the forbidden troops were dispatched.
It was under such circumstances that Lin Luoran squeezed onto the city wall.
War is always cruel, regardless of time and space, and it is not softened just because of the cold weapon era. The soldiers who climbed the ladder and were stabbed to death were covered with holes all over their bodies, and the soldiers who were cut in half during the cavalry confrontation... The large loess under the high city wall is now broken, and the soil layer is dyed reddish brown. The piled corpses occasionally tripped over horseshoes, screams and clamor, the dull sound of swords cutting into bodies.
It was under such circumstances that Lin Luoran suddenly met Xin Yuanping.
On the front line of the bloody battlefield, a Taoist nun wearing a lotus root white Taoist robe and holding a black lotus, a beautiful woman walking on the battlefield with compassion, not shying away from blood staining her white satin powder-soled embroidered shoes.
If the black lotus Lin Luoran was not so familiar, she would not have believed that the other party was Xin Yuanping, the female devil!
Although Lin Luoran has never seen Xin Yuanping again in the blink of an eye since she was rescued by the old Huizhu Taoist after she broke her wrist in the Dragon Palace, and the Qingchengguan lineage immediately escaped from the world, but the memories this woman brought her It was so unforgettable, she remembered Xin Yuanping's appearance very clearly.
That summer, on the eve of the rainstorm, a woman in black suddenly appeared in front of Villa No. 18 in Qingcheng Villa.
Yanshi Meixing's charming woman is exactly Xin Yuanping. At first glance, it is easy for people to let go of their guards, and they don't dislike her natural coquettishness, but under the charming expression, there is a hostility in the bones.
Using living people to make alchemy, Xin Yuanping is definitely a 100% female devil.
Looking at her now, with a peaceful face, Lin Luoran was almost deceived by her compassionate eyes when she looked at the battlefield—if the black lotus in her hand hadn't been absorbing blood stains with her footsteps, Lin Luoran would have been more willing I believe that Xin Yuanping will change her mind and turn to the right.
Lin Luoran realized in his mind that Xin Yuanping might be the "Lady Xin" that shopkeeper Wu said.
This female demon, by some means, suppressed her devilish energy, but she couldn't hide her cultivation, which was beyond the reach of the Nascent Soul in the middle stage. After more than four hundred years, Xin Yuanping's cultivation level seems to be a bit weak according to the progress of the magic cultivation. When her arrogance was high, even Lin Luoran had to avoid her edge.
Could it be that all the lotus seeds of the black lotus were destroyed by her when she was in the Dragon Palace of Nothingness, which made Xin Yuanping's cultivation progress not in the normal state of magic cultivation
Seeing Lin Luoran staring blankly at the female Taoist nun who had pinched the invisibility formula on the battlefield, Mu Tiannan followed her gaze to look at her. The strength of the opponent did not necessarily make him afraid, but the way of cultivation was a bit weird.
"Strange, it looks like a demon but not a demon. It seems that someone has forcibly covered up the evil spirit, and it looks familiar."
Lin Luoran nodded, "Three people passed through the Chaos Lingquan, except you and me, the rest is her."
Mu Tiannan couldn't hide his surprise: "It's Xin Yuanping?!"
Lin Luoran glanced at him suspiciously. Mu Tiannan was still an ordinary person when Xin Yuanping made trouble, so he knew him unexpectedly.
Mu Tiannan smiled slightly: "When I was young, she seemed to have hugged me."
Mr. Mu and Mr. Guo got close. When Mu Tiannan was young, Xin Yuanping was still under Mr. Guo's school, hugging the child of a family friend, which made sense. Later Xin Yuanping found out the truth about her life experience and betrayed her teacher. Mu Tiannan only had a vague memory of her when she was a few years old. He could remember her so vividly. He came here, of course, because Mu Tiannan found out the "truth" during Lin Luoran's disappearance in Jinling for three years.
At that time, Mr. Mu was in a dilemma between Mr. Guo and Hui Zhu, Mu Tiannan went on a rampage to track down Lin Luoran's whereabouts, Mr. Mu couldn't control him, so he told him the reason.
Xin Yuanping is not only the daughter of the old Huizhu Taoist, but also the only disciple of Mr. Guo. The pressure of the two identities made Mu Tiannan unable to breathe. He couldn't find Xin Yuanping's whereabouts. Loran.
Lin Luoran was half happy and half worried when she saw Xin Yuanping. No matter how much she hated her, at least Xin Yuanping's existence proved that the monks who left the earth through the "Tiantian Tower" after the protection of God had really reached this world.
It's just that personal nature is different. Xin Yuanping became the guest minister of the Yinshan Zong with her Yuanying stage cultivation base, but she didn't know where the Lin family and old friends in the cultivation world were
"If you catch her..." Mu Tiannan immediately understood, since they were sent to this world together, Numa Xin must have heard about the whereabouts of the others, right
Lin Luoran shook her head: "Let's not talk about whether everyone arrived on the same star at that time, Xin Yuanping hates me to death, and expecting her to tell some news, I'm afraid the only way is to deliberately confuse people with false news."
She thought in her heart, what's more, once she stuns the snake, with Xin Yuanping's means, she is now involved with the Yinshan sect. Luo Ran dragged his family with him, and couldn't afford to waste time with the female devil.
Mu Tiannan didn't say any more. In fact, there are some more bloody methods to make a Nascent Soul cultivator tell the truth, but Mu Tiannan also understands in his heart that Lin Luoran is inherently kind, and rarely takes the initiative to put people to death.
After the two disappeared on the city wall, Xin Yuanping seemed to sense it, and stopped and looked towards the city wall.
There was a lot of voices above the city wall, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Could it be that she had a mistake in realizing the faint feeling of being spied on just now? Xin Yuanping was puzzled, and lost interest in collecting blood from the battlefield. He entered the city with a black lotus in his hand, and went to the small shop that Yin Shanzong opened in a hidden place.
"Lady Xin, you are here."
The smile on Shopkeeper Wu's face was not fake at all. King Shen was besieging the city, and the monks dedicated to Yinshanzong in the imperial city had discussed several times. The Zongmen's communication is to close the teleportation array, but it doesn't say to use force against the forces behind King Shen. What the priests are worried about is that if they let it go, this star Yinshan Sect will really be handed over to others.
This gentle reaction is very different from the Zongmen's usual behavior. It is reasonable for these disciples who are far away from the Zongmen's core to worry about whether the Zongmen has changed recently.
Tiankui star is not a fertile ground for cultivation. There are not many planets in this world that are rich in spiritual energy. Send fresh blood. Therefore, among the group of monks, the one with the highest cultivation level is only in the early stage of Yuanying. In terms of strength, Xin Yuanping, a guest minister, is the most respected.
Seeing Xin Yuanping coming, all the monks in the secret room greeted him one after another. The old man who had just conceived a baby was not very enthusiastic.
Xin Yuanping sneered, the old man surnamed Cheng had successfully conceived a baby half a year ago, and monk Yuanying was also very popular in a sect like Yinshan Sect, knowing that the sect would not let him continue to waste time in the half-derelict Tiankui Star, so he changed his previous treatment of her. The deliberate ingratiating attitude also puts on the airs of a Nascent Soul Stage monk.
Having lived in this world for hundreds of years, Xin Yuanping saw many similar faces, and cursed secretly in her heart, but her face was still gentle and gentle, without showing the slightest thought.
"Elder Feng sent a message earlier that Tiankuixing, another big party, is also interested. At this time, you have not received an order to act. It should be that the sect has reached an agreement with that big faction, and is going to let Tiankuixing out."
Xin Yuanping picked up the teacup gracefully, and let the tea slightly moisten her lips like a dragonfly's touch of water. She casually burst out a big news, which not only shocked all the monks present, but also the monk surnamed Yuanying, who was surnamed Cheng, had mixed feelings in his heart.
It stands to reason that he has managed this star for the Zongmen for many years, and he has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage in half a year, but he knows nothing about this kind of news. Is the Zongmen's trust in him not as good as a guest official
The monk surnamed Cheng frowned and said, "I haven't received a summons to evacuate..."
Xin Yuanping turned her head aside, "Shopkeeper Wu, what is the origin of the Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator you mentioned a few days ago?"
The old man surnamed Cheng was humiliated and had some resentment towards Xin Yuanping, but his cultivation was not as good as others, so he had to endure it whether he wanted to or not.
How can shopkeeper Wu describe it? I only saw it once, when Lin Luoran entered the shop, he had an ordinary face. At this time, he wanted to describe it, but his words were scarce. As for Ma Shuangshuang and the three of them, each has its own characteristics, and Xin Yuanping has no impression of them all.
Later, several people from Mu Tiannan gathered in the capital one after another. With their cultivation base, how could they alarm Yin Shanzong's eyeliner
A very strange Nascent Soul casual cultivator. Could it be she peeping from the walls
Xin Yuanping didn't get any useful information, and there was an uncontrollable force lurking around her, which she always felt was an unknown threat.
Ignoring a group of Yinshan sect disciples who were staring at her eagerly, she only reminded shopkeeper Wu, who usually dealt with a lot: close the shop as soon as possible, and be ready to give up Tiankuixing at any time.
Shopkeeper Wu carefully glanced at the old man surnamed Cheng, then changed the topic to the talisman that Xin Yuanping consigned for sale.
"Recently, the situation on Tiankui Star is unclear. Loose cultivators are generous in order to protect themselves. The talismans sent by layman Xin are selling very well. Do you think you want to settle the spirit stones on the account?"
Xin Yuanping nodded noncommittally.
Throw it to shopkeeper Wu and sell it, it's just a very ordinary paper talisman, I draw a few in my spare time, just to make her life in Tiankuixing not so boring, Xin Yuanping doesn't pay attention to that bit of Lingshi.
Xin Yuanping, who received the spirit stone, left without paying attention to the ugly face of the old man surnamed Cheng after she went out.
The place where Xin Yuanping lives is in a mountain forest designated as a forbidden area by the royal family. There is a large-scale female temple with blue tiles and red bricks. The interstellar teleportation array is only one mountain away from the female temple.
"Master." A few beautiful little nuns came up to welcome her, smiling at Xin Yuanping.
Xin Yuanping nodded, "Your junior sister is back?"
Xiao Ni shook her head, the younger junior sister was not high in cultivation, but because of her natural obsession, she was selected by the master from the slave market, taught for a few years, and then sent to the palace to be the favorite concubine of the old emperor. She has been favored continuously for ten years, and now King Shen, who was besieging the city, was suppressed miserably by his junior sister back then. He was the prince who had the most hope of inheriting the great line, but instead he was exiled for thousands of miles, forcing him to turn against his father.
Although he couldn't figure out why his master had such a high level of cultivation and participated in ordinary rights, Xiaoni still replied respectfully: "Half a month ago, my junior sister came here to offer incense, and now she is coming out again, which is a bit more eye-catching."
Xin Yuanping smiled lightly: "Now that the country is about to collapse, as an imperial concubine, isn't it the best reason to enter the temple and pray for blessings?"
Xiao Ni nodded and said yes, let's make arrangements.
Sure enough, at dusk, the guard of honor of the emperor and concubine of the Yin Yue Kingdom came out of the palace gate, and came towards the temple of women in a mighty way.
Pretending to burn incense and pray for blessings, the imperial concubine said that she was going to take a bath and fast, and all the entourage stayed in the courtyard where the women were waiting for guests, and went to the backyard with nine bends and eighteen secluded places alone.
If Lin Luoran was here, he would be a little surprised. The imperial concubine is dressed luxuriously, and the way of looking at Yan Xing's charming behavior has won the essence of Xin Yuanping's charm in the past. No wonder she can fascinate the old emperor of Yin Yueguo. white.
Waiting quietly for Xin Yuanping to put down the silver wolf pen that was drawing the talisman in her hand, the imperial concubine swept away her usual arrogance in front of the palace people, and called "Master" affectionately.
Xin Yuanping also cared more about her than before, and asked a few questions about her daily life. Just when the imperial concubine was delighted by the attention of her master, Xin Yuanping changed the subject: "The Yinshan sect is about to give up Tiankuixing, and your uncle will also call on the date. As a teacher, I will take your senior sisters and leave in a few days."
The imperial concubine beamed with joy, "Master, don't you need to go back to the palace?"
A young woman who was born and bred, honored her teacher's order to serve an old man for ten years, and the imperial concubine's cultivation base is low. What she has done in the past ten years is enough to kill her a hundred times after King Shen breaks the city. No matter how powerful the world is, it must be kept Enjoy life. Besides, like her master, being a monk with a high level of cultivation, the sky is big and the earth is big, above the imperial power in the mortal world, is much better than what she is doing in the palace to be a noble concubine! Once upon a time, I heard senior sisters describe the truly wonderful cultivation world beyond Tiankui star, how could the imperial concubine not be yearning for it.
Unexpectedly, Xin Yuanping smiled meaningfully when she heard her question:
"Your senior sisters have to leave with their masters, but you have to stay. Not only that, but when the new dynasty changes, you still have to be an imperial concubine."
The imperial concubine knelt down and wept, "Master, but what did this disciple do wrong?"
Why did all the senior sisters leave, leaving only her in Tiankuixing? The new dynasty has changed, and King Shen has ascended the throne. How can she continue to be an imperial concubine
Xin Yuanping wiped away tears for her personally, "Silly girl, it is not without precedent for Yin Yueguo to marry after the death of a father. You must be good at using your strengths... as a teacher, you really have important things to do, and you can't take care of Tiankuixing in a short time." , Among the many disciples, only you are the most suitable to handle this matter for the teacher."
Xin Yuanping explained to the imperial concubine carefully, but the latter was dumbfounded. Compared with Xin Yuanping's living age, the imperial concubine, as a native of Yinyue country, relied on her natural charm and some monk methods to get around the court. She is very good at charming her. When it comes to controlling power, her scheming and insight are not enough.
The interstellar teleportation array is near the imperial palace, no matter which faction takes over Tiankui star, it can't get around the royal family of Yinyue Kingdom.
Although Xin Yuanping intends to leave Tiankuixing, he does not intend to completely delegate power. If the monks are involved, the sect that takes over must be worried. Even if there are some tricks to install a concubine who is naturally flattering, how can the high-ranking monks care
A few years ago, there was an undercurrent in the world of comprehension, and the God of Tianji Zong, who was good at derivation, said something. Xin Yuanping estimated that only the outsiders sent through the Tongtian Tower could understand it.
There is a change in Tiankui, hmph, it means that someone will be teleported from the earth to this world.
Xin Yuanping had an intuition that the prophecy of Tianjizong had something to do with the woman she hated the most in her life.
She must be the first to get news from the other party without making a fuss.
How to put it into action under many eyes is very challenging, but Xin Yuanping likes to challenge difficult things.
For four hundred years, if that woman is still alive, at least it's time to conceive a baby.
But the difference in cultivation between the two is not too great. After all, the level of aura on the earth, no matter how talented the talent is... Xin Yuanping smiled and said nothing.
...
In the small courtyard of Xihua Lane, Lao Liao picked out his ears and received his supernatural powers.
"What's the matter, Uncle Liao?" Lin Luoran was a little anxious, hoping that the supernatural power "shunfeng ear" in Lao Liao's mouth would be really useful. I can't help but doubt his ability to do things.
Lao Liao guessed Lin Luoran's thoughts and was unhappy. I really want to grab a certain idiot's shoulder and shake her neck hard. Master Canglang is obviously very reliable. In the past, he lost his memory and had no cultivation.
When Lin Luoran served him tea in a doggy manner, the unhappiness in Lao Liao's heart disappeared immediately, and his old face burst into smiles.
Hu Ji secretly despises the unscrupulous "sister-controlled" Lao Liao, who ignores it completely and shows off the news he "heard".
It started from when Xin Yuanping left the battlefield and went to the shop of Yin Shanzong, until she recruited back the female disciple who was the imperial concubine of Yin Yue Kingdom.
Lao Liao summed it up in a few points:
First, Xin Yuanping is just a guest official of Yinshan Zong, but she has a very close relationship with this sect. She got the news about Yinshan Zong's withdrawal from Tiankuixing earlier than other disciples in the sect.
Second, Xin Yuanping concealed her demonic cultivation very well, lived in seclusion, and others only thought she was good at drawing symbols. In addition, she mentioned "Master Uncle" to her disciples in her paintings, which shows that she has a teacher in this world, not a casual practitioner.
Third, Xin Yuanping temporarily left Tiankuixing for some irresistible reason, but seeing that she did not forget to install someone in the mortal world, she was obviously obsessed with Tiankuixing. There is not something she is bound to have here, of course there is only someone who is bound to have.
Xin Yuanping is good at drawing talismans now, and is there a fellow student? !
Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan looked at each other, and had the same guess in their hearts. In the past, the female devil could only make "alchemy" from living people, draw talismans and so on, she must have been taught by Huizhu, her fellow disciples, could it be the Taoist priests who used to hide from the world in Qingcheng Temple
Everyone in the Yinshan Sect has never heard of it. Putting it aside for now, what is Xin Yuanping looking for in the half-abandoned Tiankui Star
"Boldly guess, she is waiting to kill you... Hey, could it be that someone has noticed that we have teleported from the earth to this world?"
The fragrance-free children's shoes who are silent most of the time, speak occasionally, really hit the nail on the head.
"So, we just need to—" Han Weiya muttered to herself, dragging out her tone, and everyone answered in unison: "Follow Xin Yuanping!"
Following Xin Yuanping, it is unknown whether they will be able to find the Lin family, but it is very likely that they will be able to find the Qingchengguan group first.
It was the best choice without knowing all the forces in this world, Lin Luoran could not object to such a tempting proposal.
