Sensing the influx of spiritual energy in his meridians, Master Ba knew that Nan Feng had something urgent to do and did not need Nan Feng to urge him, so he flapped his wings vigorously and flew as fast as possible.
While conveying spiritual energy to the eighth master, Nanfeng looked up at the stars to judge the time. It was the third quarter of Yin hour. He must arrive in Chang'an before the third quarter of Chen hour. Otherwise, Long Yunzi would definitely kill Yuan Anning.
He had just come from Yingchuan before and knew how long it would take to get back to Yingchuan. In autumn, the north wind usually blows, and it is a headwind when it comes. This time it is a tailwind when going south, and he will definitely be able to get back to Yingchuan within half an hour.
It was a headwind when we rushed to Chang'an from Yingchuan. At that time, we could no longer rely on Ba Ye. We needed to use Earth Escape. Earth Escape can move wherever you see, and it can fly faster than Ba Ye, but its biggest disadvantage is It consumes too much spiritual energy, but I can't care about that much now. I'm lucky to be able to get to Chang'an before three quarters of the day.
Even if you are anxious, you can't mess up. There are some things that need to be clarified before arriving in Chang'an. You can't just rush there and die in confusion.
Yuan Anning did not go to the ruined temple in the south of the city as promised. He had already guessed that Yuan Anning was in trouble, but he did not expect that Yuan Anning would be caught. Knowing that the two had just returned from overseas, no one knew their whereabouts. In addition, Yuan Anning has been promoted to the mountain and has the help of firearms and hidden weapons. Ordinary people are no match for her.
This was also the main reason why Yuan Anning did not rush to the ruined temple and why he did not search immediately. But to say the least, even if he started searching immediately, it would be too late. By then, Yuan Anning had already been captured and taken away by Long Yunzi. .
As the saying goes, no matter how careful a person's thinking is, there will always be omissions. Just like Long Yunzi didn't know that he could escape from earth, nor did he know that he could use his own aura to accelerate Master Ba, he didn't expect it either. There would be Taoist Yuqing by Wang Sizheng's side. This was an accident and no one could foresee it.
The two Yuqing Taoists in Yingchuan were nothing to worry about. He was sure to rush over before the message bird sent by Long Yunzi flew to Yingchuan and kill the two unsuspecting Yuqing Taoists first.
What makes him most uneasy right now is what he will encounter after arriving in Chang'an. When Long Yunzi left that letter, he may not have known that he had been promoted to Taixuan, but Long Yunzi should have known it by now. Since he knew He is a Taixuan cultivator, so he will definitely make corresponding preparations. Long Yunzi takes Yuan Anning, and his speed will naturally be affected. But no matter how slow he goes, three days is enough for him to return to Chang'an. In the remaining days, In seven or eight days, Long Yunzi had enough time to make careful preparations for his Taixuan cultivation.
When people live in this world, if they don't want to swallow their anger and accept compromises, they will definitely offend others. The degree of offending is also different. Long Yunzi took Yuan Anning this time and wanted to kill Yuan Anning in Chang'an. It offended him to the point of death, leaving no room for reconciliation in the future.
The reason why Long Yunzi did this was not only because he had been humiliated by him before, but also because Long Yunzi was sure that he would never return. To put it bluntly, he would not give him a chance to seek revenge in the future.
Chang'an's city gates often have the word "Yang" in them. The south gate of the imperial palace is called Zhengyang Gate, and the south gate of Chang'an is called Qianyang Gate. Long Yunzi chose that place to kill Yuan Anning, no doubt to make his name known to the public.
Choosing to kill Yuan Anning at Qianyang Gate also indirectly shows that Long Yunzi left no escape route for himself. In the eyes of the public, Long Yunzi cannot afford to lose. Once he loses, his reputation will be ruined. In this case, Long Yunzi Even if Yunzi is at a disadvantage, he will fight for his life and fight to the death.
After summarizing his thoughts, he came to the conclusion: Not only will he be trapped in a tight siege when he goes to Chang'an, but there will also be an endless bloody battle. The enemy and we must decide whether to live or die.
Once you have a clear judgment on the situation, you will know how to fight and kill. You can only kill. There is no other way except killing. Not only must you kill Long Yunzi, but you must also kill the helpers invited by Long Yunzi. There must be no mercy or hesitation when taking action, otherwise you will be the one who dies.
The eighth master has already grown up, and he can already fly very fast. With the help of the south wind spiritual energy and the tail wind, he can fly faster and faster, as if the wind is passing by.
Once you arrive at Yingchuan, you will need to use Earth Escape to move forward. At that time, you will no longer be able to distract your thoughts. You can only think about what you should think about on this journey. The last and most important question is what to bring with you when you get there. beat.
He couldn't count on the Tortoise Shell Heavenly Book. He had six pieces of the Tortoise Shell Heavenly Book in his hand but he had never practiced it carefully. There were three reasons for not practicing. One was that the Tortoise Shell Heavenly Book was not complete enough. Even when he started to scrutinize it, a donkey was not like a donkey and a horse was not like a horse. To practice, you need to find all nine turtle shells. Only then will you be able to connect the whole text and get twice the result with half the effort.
The second reason is that the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book is not the Three-Character Classic, it is the original sect of Ten Thousand Dharmas, which is profound and mysterious. Even if you are satisfied with trying to figure out the four images, there is no hope of completing it within three or two years. Instead of doing this, it is better to stretch your head a little. After you gather them all, you can practice, and then go straight to the big ones. Not everyone has this thing of stretching their heads. Most people are like little toads who can't hold back a few pee.
The last reason is that even without the help of the Heavenly Book, relying on the Shangqing Sect's unique skills to suppress the sect is enough to deal with the troubles at hand.
This time when I went to Chang'an, I could only place my hope on the secret knowledge of the Qing Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Nanfeng thought about the overbearing spells of Shangqing Sect one by one in his mind. After careful consideration and elimination one by one, he finally found a way to deal with them.
At this time, Ba Ye had already flown to the boundary of Yingchuan. Nanfeng took back his thoughts and pointed the direction. When he reached the sky above the General's Mansion, he looked up at the sky again. It was still Yin hour, not Mao hour yet.
Nanfeng reached down and signaled Ba Ye to land, then he jumped out and dived ahead.
In order to kill with one blow, he did not fall in the courtyard, but directly penetrated the roof and landed in the west wing. He ducked and drew his sword, killing the two Yuqing Taoists who had risen in panic on the bed.
Breaking open the door, he came to the door of the main house, exhaled and used strength to break the bolt, and pushed the door open.
Wang Sizheng heard the sound of breaking bricks and stood up in a hurry. He had not yet put on a pair of military boots. Nanfeng had already entered the door. "General, don't panic, it's me."
"Oh?" Wang Sizheng responded in shock.
There were no lights in the room, and Nanfeng didn't light them either. Instead, he said anxiously, "I already know the whereabouts of Yuan Anning. She was taken by Long Yunzi, the real person who protected the country in the Western Wei Dynasty. I will ask Zhan Yuqian at three o'clock in the morning." In front of the Yang Gate, now the imperial court already knows that the general is protecting their siblings, and also knows that the general is not sincerely loyal. The two Taoists in the west chamber have been monitoring you. The imperial court has ordered them to harm you. If nothing else, Xinniao It will come soon."
Wang Sizheng is a general who leads troops and does not panic when encountering difficulties. Even though Nanfeng spoke urgently and quickly, he still listened clearly and thought clearly, "Young hero, can you rush back to Chang'an before three quarters?"
"Okay, general, come with me." Nanfeng turned and walked toward the door.
At this time, the protective sergeants outside the door had gathered and were urgently calling for inquiries. Wang Sizheng came out and shouted to everyone outside the door to tell them not to panic.
Nanfeng pointed to Ba Ye who had fallen on the eaves and whispered to Wang Sizheng, "This night owl is called Ba Ye, and it is my mount. I will keep it here temporarily. If there is another crisis, it can carry the two of them out of trouble."
Wang Sizheng nodded heavily and clasped his fists at Nanfeng in thanks.
Nanfeng made a gesture to Ba Ye, indicating that it would obey Wang Sizheng's orders. Ba Ye had been out of control before, but now he was very depressed. He managed to coo twice, and Quan responded.
"General, take care, I have to go." Nanfeng lifted up his strength and lifted into the air. He remembered something in the air, "It's tired from flying. Don't forget to give it some water."
"Don't worry, young hero." Wang Sizheng responded.
Nanfeng did not hesitate, and flew out of the city. When he arrived outside the city, he collected his energy and landed. He carefully selected the place where he would appear and stay, and he made a secret with his fingers to escape.
You can move wherever you see Earth Release, but you must choose the place of appearance in advance, and you need to be down-to-earth before you can use it. Since there are many obstacles in the mountains, it is difficult to choose where to appear. Sometimes the field of vision is wide, and you can move hundreds of miles at a time. Most of the time it's three to five miles, not as fast as flying across the sky.
At this time, the eastern sky was dimly lit, and it was already past Mao hour.
Fortunately, the path was found soon after, and the speed was accelerated. He reached the official road even faster, and he could move dozens of miles in one Earth Escape.
No matter the spirit, he worked non-stop and finally reached Dehelin Town before Chen Shi.
When they arrived at Dehelin Town, Nanfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There was still a stick of incense left before three quarters of the hour, which was barely enough.
I had been rushing hard before, and I never got an inside look at the spiritual energy consumption. I concentrated on sensing it, and frowned. As expected, the Earth Escape had consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Most of the Taixuan spiritual energy, which was as vast as the sea, had been lost at this time.
In addition to the consumption of spiritual energy, earth escape also has a big disadvantage, that is, traveling underground, it is unavoidable to be contaminated with mud when going in and out, and the clothes you wear are often scratched and torn. They are really ragged and dirty.
He didn't dare to relax until he reached the end of the field. After taking a deep breath, he squeezed his fingers and continued northward.
At two quarters of the hour, Nanfeng finally arrived near Chang'an. From dozens of miles away, he found a sea of people in front of the Qianyang Gate in Chang'an. He was so anxious that he didn't care to look far away, so he chose the right location and then used Earth Escape.
There were so many people in front of him that he could no longer choose a place to appear on the ground. He was worried about Yuan'an's safety and did not dare to hesitate for a moment. After appearing, he immediately stepped onto the ground and volleyed into the sky.
When I got to a high place, I saw clearly what was going on in the scene. An execution platform had been set up outside Qianyang Gate. There was a wooden pillar on the platform. On both sides of the wooden pillar were two big and three-thick executioners. On the wooden pillar were tied There is a woman wearing black clothes, with disheveled hair and no face, but judging from her figure, there is no doubt that she is Yuan Anning.
Within fifty feet around the altar, there are a large number of Yuqing Taoist priests sitting cross-legged. These Yuqing Taoist priests are all wearing regular clothes. There should be about seventy or eighty of them. Judging from their complexions, most of them are lavender, about sixty or so. There are more than ten people from Ziqi Dongyuan and seven people from Deep Purple Taixuan.
Needless to say, all the purple energy masters of Yuqing Sect are here.
Nan Feng's sudden appearance caused the people watching to exclaim in unison. Hearing the sound, the woman on the altar raised her head. Nan Feng took the opportunity to see her appearance clearly. It was undoubtedly Yuan An Ning.
While looking at Yuan Anning's appearance, Nanfeng was furious and his eyes were about to split. Yuan Anning's forehead and left and right cheeks were severely damaged. He was no stranger to such injuries. The court would often inflict ink punishment on serious offenders. The so-called ink punishment is to tattoo characters on the face. The black characters on Yuan Anning's forehead were tattooed, while the damage to the cheeks was caused by applying green ink after using a soldering iron.
"Who is it?" the soldiers surrounding the people nearby shouted loudly.
Nan Feng ignored them and asked Yuan An Ning in a deep voice, "How is it?"
Yuan Anning suppressed her excitement and responded with a trembling voice, "It's okay."
At this moment, Long Yunzi, who was standing in front of the altar, raised his voice and said, "The time has come, kill him."
"Wait a minute." Nanfeng raised his eyebrows to stop him, and turned to look at Long Yunzi, "If you kill yourself now to apologize, you can keep the incense of Yuqing alive."
Long Yunzi smiled and shook his head, raised his hand again, "Cut."
As soon as Long Yunzi finished speaking, Nanfeng stretched out his arms, kneaded the formula with both hands at the same time, and chanted the mantra quickly.
There are many knowledgeable people in the Yuqing Sect. Seeing this situation, the soul of the dead came out, "This is the Shangqing Sect's borrowing method from Qiankun, stop him quickly..."
