Tai Sui

Chapter 122: Eternal Flame (4)

Views:

The sound of the firearm exploding can be heard so far in the narrow alley, even the half-immortal who always felt that he was "deaf" was tense all over.

Zhao Xidan didn't care about anything else, so he raised his long sword and rushed out.

An autumn rain is about to fall, and the cold dampness blows towards the face, wrapped in the smell of fish and gunpowder smoke, Zhao Xiaodan's hand hidden in his sleeve instinctively squeezed a talisman - nothing happened.

Startled, she stopped in her tracks.

That's right, she is no longer the Tianji Pavilion half-immortal who overturned hundreds of people with a spell.

There was another sound of firecrackers, the screams and curses were more piercing than the roar of firearms, and Zhao Xiedan was shocked. Qi Linwei didn't dare to trespass into the land of forbidden spirits, but told her to walk in the world of the former Tianji Pavilion to know what it's like to "walk in the world".

However, at the next moment, her heart beat wildly, and she was overwhelmed by inexplicable anger: because of her family who treacherously went north to Dongheng, because of that dishonorable marriage deal, because of her false self-esteem that was trampled into the mud ... And also because of her real cowardice and incompetence when she had nothing to rely on at that moment.

It was a garrison who happened to be patrolling nearby and rushed over when they heard the commotion. The centurion of the patrol team saw a thug throwing a large adze at the head of his colleague. In a hurry, he took out his gun and fired.

But Xiajiang's bastards had never fought at all, and their training was even more sloppy. This time they aimed clearly at the shoulder of the man holding the adze, but hit an old man next to him in the neck. When the shuttle goes down, the head is flying, how can people still survive? Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they heard the man holding the adze yell "Father" sternly, his eyes were as big as a cow's, his veins jumped violently, and he roared and rushed towards the murderer.

The centurion took aim this time and blasted a flower of blood on the man's forehead.

In a blink of an eye, two corpses lay before the eyes, like a ladle of ice poured on the excitement of the crowd. The angry crowd fell silent, no one dared to step forward, and confronted the military master who was eating the imperial rations across a narrow alley.

The soldiers who were drinking and making trouble ran back to the team, and there was another soldier who couldn't run back, lying "destroyed" under the feet of the people.

The centurion's eyes fell on the corpse of the dead soldier, thinking that Tao County was hopeless, and people were not normal after being with evil spirits for a long time. Then he slammed his helmet against the wall, and cursed: "It's against these troublemakers, take it down!"

The garrisons of the patrol behind them swarmed up.

However, even though these people had firecrackers in their hands, they subconsciously avoided those strong men with knives and axes, and rushed towards the old, weak, sick and disabled who could not run fast like dogs scrambling for food. Although there are so many old, weak, sick and disabled people, they can't help but scramble for it, and it's not enough for a while. The two military masters held an old woman on crutches at the same time, refusing to give in to each other, and even the old woman herself became embarrassed along with the two.

At this moment, the clear sword light came through the air, and along with a thunderbolt over Tao County, it pierced through the gap between the two soldiers' iron armor very trickily. As soon as the lightning flashed, before the thunder sounded, the long sword had chopped off one man's arm and cut the other's palm.

Even though the half-immortal couldn't draw a talisman, the muscles and bones that had been tempered countless times by the spiritual energy were still there. Zhao Xiaodan caught the old woman who was sliding on the ground with one hand, and stepped on the falling firecracker: "Presumptuous!"

Wei Cheng made no effort to stop him, and when he chased him out, Zhao Yaodan's scolding, which was quite characteristic of a nobleman, had already come out of his mouth.

broken.

The eldest lady is afraid that others will not know that there is something wrong with her background!

Wei Chengxiang also never expected that after climbing so far on the road of cultivation, fate would push her back to the place where she started - the root cause of this is her own efforts!

"Senior," Wei Chengxiang held the reincarnated wood and said quickly, "The troops stationed in Tao County are now scattered at twenty-five points, and the nearest station has about three thousand soldiers. If you can run over, none of these neighbors can escape today. If it’s just an ordinary conflict, you can spend money to clear up the relationship. Now that someone is dead, I’m afraid it won’t end well. You should send a message to the eldest lady and ask her to take care of herself It's even more troublesome to involve her!"

Before Xi Ping could reply, Wei Chengxiang said again: "In addition, I found out in the past few days that they carry a 'Flying Book' machine (note) that doesn't use spirit stones in their army. I don't know who they can contact with that thing, maybe The Qilin Guards outside Tao County, maybe they went up to the peak—currently the former site of the Snake King Immortal Palace in Yehu Township is their temporary general tent, but the person who came here was a mortal, I guess he was not a big man, there was someone behind them, no matter what, we can’t let’ Feishu's machine spread the news, Sanyue is worried that there is no reason to clean up Tao County."

Xi Ping: "Understood, be safe and don't be impatient."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Zhao Xidan holding a sword in one hand and a firecracker in the other, pointing at the centurion, and said: "You are a good man, you don't go to make meritorious deeds and defend your home and country, you only know how to blackmail the people. Kill the old man." Weak women and children, in the fish and meat village, where is the military law? Where is the Western Chu king's law?"

"Senior, tell her to shut up!" Wei Cheng's head was "buzzing". For a moment, he didn't know whether it was Zhao Xiaodan talking too fast, or Tai Sui being too old to be able to catch up with a word.

And Zhao Xidan was not finished yet, like pouring beans: "The elders here have never had the heart to seek rebellion, and they have always kept their own place. All they want is peace and nothing, and they dare not even ask for food and clothing. Dare I ask these military masters, who ordered them to provoke them?" Public grievances, forcing rebellion? The imperial court? Or the Sanyue Xianshan? Or do you have bad intentions, and you are a rebel?"

Wei Chengxiang: "..."

She was about to go forward immediately, but Xi Ping said slowly: "There are no monks nearby who heard her torture Sanyue Chan to shed her Taoism, so don't worry—she's right."

Wei Chengxiang blurted out, "Can you just say what's right?"

Xi Ping seemed to be stopped by her question, and after a while, he smiled and said: "Indeed, only children and young ladies dare to speak casually. Let her speak, or as time goes by, everyone will lose sight of the lice on the bald man's head." —Can the firecracker do it?"

Wei Chengxiang: "What..."

The next moment, her consciousness was pulled into the breaking method, and two moon-plated gold firecrackers, which were obviously much smaller and better than Xichu's armament, were thrown over, with a bag of ammunition attached.

Tai Sui left a sentence: "This place is for you."

He sent her out of Pofa.

This moment was enough for Wei Chengxiang to see that Pofa was full of firearms and armaments, and his thoughts changed sharply: "Could it be that Tai Sui wants to take Tao County... He has already prepared for it?"

However, it was too late to think about it at this time, and the centurion of the Tao County Garrison was really irritated by this "big talk" village girl, pointed at Zhao Xiaodan and said, "Well, I think you are Nanwan Xizuo. These troublemakers not only secretly Sacrificing to evil spirits, and harboring foreign masterpieces, I will take them all! Those who dare to resist will be punished as treason, strike... "

The word "kill" was not spoken, and a cold gun shot from nowhere hit him in the back of the head. The centurion froze there with his hands raised, with a pierced skull on his head, and panic The people looked at each other in blank dismay.

A group of garrison troops behind him didn't know why, so they held up the firecrackers and waited for the order from the lord, but the lord shook it twice, knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and slapped his face on the ground, as if he was knocked down by the terrified people opposite. After turning his head, thick blood came out gurgling.

The garrison closest to the centurion was so frightened that his face paled. He picked up the firecracker and was about to fire.

Wei Chengxiang sneaked through the dark alley like a ghost.

Others seek the Tao by delving into spells, probing the heart of the Tao, and using spiritual energy to cut through the scriptures and wash the marrow. She entered the Tao because of revenge, and most of the time she either killed or fled. Immortal artifacts, degraded immortal artifacts... even mortal firearms - she is familiar with all the ominous and ominous things.

She is no longer a crying child at the mouth of the mouse alley because she has nowhere to go.

The small patrol garrison who had been targeted by the "death ghost" panicked and scurried around looking for hiding places while trying in vain to fight back.

Wei Cheng sent off one by one with a gun, but she was only alone after all. The bastards in the patrol team were frightened and their firecrackers were flying around, Zhao Xidan was in a hurry to protect a group of neighbors, unable to help her.

Soon, someone took the opportunity to blow a sharp whistle.

"Senior Tai Sui," Wei Cheng took a breath, pressed the reincarnation wood, "how long do I need to hold on?"

Xi Ping said, "A moment."

Xi Ping did not expect the conflict in Tao County to intensify so quickly, but he was not unprepared.

The corruption of the three armies of Western Chu far surpassed his imagination. In comparison, the officialdom in Dawan, where infighting never ends all day long, can be regarded as a pure lake. If Tao County falls into the hands of the Xiabei Army, it may not be as good as being under the surveillance of Sanyue Xianshan. Now, at least the immortal has the heart of Taoism - Tao County will become a place for raising Gu in a short time, and he has been busy for a long time not sure who to make wedding clothes for.

Therefore, when the public complaints that only he could hear grew louder, Xi Ping sent a warning to Zhou Ying.

Bering sent a batch of Dawan military equipment over the next day, and Lu and we were ready to face the garrison at any time.

Immediately, the "Feishu" jammers buried in the streets and alleys were turned on at the same time.

The general's tent in the former site of the Snake King Immortal Palace did not receive any warning, but heard a piece of funeral music mixed with Wan and Chu—a funeral caravan passed by playing and singing.

This group of fools in the countryside is really outrageous, the guards guarding in front of the "general's tent" immediately stepped forward and scolded them.

A tall middle-aged man playing the huqin seemed to be ordered by the master of ceremonies to stuff the huqin into the arms of the person next to him, and rushed over in three steps at a time.

Nalaqin's face was full of smiles, he nodded his head and bowed his waist, and at the same time reached into his sleeves to touch things, as if he wanted to save money and avoid disaster: "The coffins are around the village, our local rules have been around for many years, I didn't mean to offend .”

The guard's expression eased: "Then you can't pass here, do you know where this is?"

"Yes, those who don't know are not to blame," the huqin player leaned forward while talking, and quickly took out something from his sleeve, covered it with his hand and handed it to the guard, "Mr. …”

The personal guard was about to reach out to take it, but suddenly met the eyes of the player who played the piano.

There are thousands of folds in the corners of the violin player's eyes, but there is no smile in his eyes.

No, this is...

The next moment, the player flipped his hand deftly, revealing what was in his palm. A slap-sized pure black firecracker hit directly from the guard's lower abdomen, went up and passed through the chest, but only issued a "poof!" " a soft sound.

The personal guard met King Hades without saying a word, and the violinist caught him calmly, and almost inaudibly completed the second half of his sentence: "... let's get on the road early."

Then he put the bodyguard's body together, and the two brothers hooked their shoulders together, staggered towards the general's tent, and couldn't help saying: "Mr. Jun, we have to catch the auspicious time, Mr. Jun!" …”

Seeing this, the other soldiers in front of the general's tent came over for no apparent reason, and the funeral team dressed in sackcloth and mourning suddenly made trouble. The defense of the unsuspecting general's tent was like paper. Under the cover of the night, Lu Wu, who was very familiar with the terrain of the Snake King Immortal Palace, drove straight in without warning.

The "Flying Book Machines" in the entire county only made a "sizzling" noise.

At this time, Zhao Yaodan escorted a group of neighbors into the back alley, but not all of them were quick-footed. They had to support the old and the young, and they had to persuade the elderly walk. The eldest lady has never done such a thing before, and she was devastated for a while.

Just passing through the crooked alleys, before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the ground shook, and the garrison who was attracted by the whistle like a cloud-piercing arrow just now rode over directly, faster than they expected !

Wei Chengxiang changed the magazine, his heart sank. At this time, half of the leading knight's body was exposed, and he presumably got the news, so he wore special fire-resistant gun light armor.

The horse was as fast as a gust of wind, and blocked Zhao Xidan's and the others' path. Before they could see them, the knight immediately took out a five or six-foot cannon barrel and shot it out at the crowd.

Just a sound of "咻", and a large net with blue and purple lightning flashed down all over the sky.

A sparrow just flew by at this moment, bumped its head against the net, and turned into a roasted bird and stuck to it with a "squeak!"

Zhao Xidan was going to pick it up with his sword, but the sword had already been stretched into the air, and was held back by a few quick-response people around him. The cavalry's body armor easily blocked Wei Chengxiang's firepower, and the barrel remained motionless.

Wei Chengxiang had no choice but to show up. She jumped down from the canopy of an ancient tree that had not yet been damaged, and stepped on the cavalryman with her own weight.

The horse staggered a little under the weight of her heavy fall, neighed and raised its front hooves. The cannon barrel was out of hand, but other cavalry immediately followed. For a moment, countless firecrackers pointed at Wei Cheng, and they were loaded with a "click".

At such a short distance, even a half-immortal with spiritual energy protection may not be able to survive the firecracker without any injuries. Isn't the land of forbidden spirits going to be smashed into a sieve

Zhao Xidan, who was grabbed by the crowd, suddenly opened his eyes wide and struggled desperately: "Let go..."

In the nick of time, another sharp whistle sounded.

A cavalry soldier who looked like a general's personal guard came rushing forward with a command flag, and the voice of the people arrived before they arrived: "The general has an order not to disturb the people. If you dare to open fire in the county, you will be punished by military law!"

The cavalryman, who had already pressed his finger on the trigger, barely raised the muzzle of his gun, and Wei Cheng let out a stream of cold sweat before slipping down his sunken back into his waist.

The cavalryman who had just been stepped off his horse got up from the ground in embarrassment. Seeing the command flag and token in his hand, he could only swallow his dissatisfaction: "To the Chief of Guards, brothers, grab some gunmen Xi Chu worked carefully."

The cavalryman who delivered the order raised his chin haughtily: "Take it away and let the general handle it."

In the general's tent, Xi Ping, a violin player dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, looked at the fainted fat man in amazement.

Qu Longhou Zheng Bin of the Xiabei Navy is a half-immortal, so of course he would not come to this ghostly place where spirits are forbidden. At this time, the so-called "general" who is calling the wind and rain in Tao County is just a sixth-rank capital under Qu Longhou's seat. Wei, who looked like he weighed more than three hundred catties, fell down and hit Xi Ping's foot when he was knocked out, and he is still in pain right now.

Out of his preference for his third brother and his personal affection for His Royal Highness Duanrui, Xi Ping occasionally felt that although the Zhou family was not a good thing, Xuanyinshan had treachery first, and the string of people born with innate spiritual bones The lunatic was also forced out by Xuanyin Mountain.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that Dawan might have been another Chu state if Xuanyin Mountain hadn't suppressed the Zhou family for thousands of years.

Black and white, can't tell.

At this moment, a guard's voice came from outside the tent: "General, we have captured two Dawan girls!"

Xi Ping turned his eyes, and Lu Wu, who was a ventriloquist next to him, immediately imitated the captain's voice and said: "Understood, close it first, and I will interrogate myself later."

"yes!"

This is not the way, there may not be 100,000 troops stationed in the city, there are tens of thousands, and there are only a few people in Lu Wu.

Xi Ping then contacted Bering through the Reincarnation Wood: "Brother Bering, how long shall we last?"

"It won't be long," Bering replied quickly, "Zheng Bin is not a flawless egg—the Lord told you to hide it yourself, just pass on the news, don't get involved."

Xi Ping: "..."

Bering immediately sensed something from his momentary silence: "My lord, where are you?"

Xi Ping silently withdrew the foot that was stepping on the body of Captain Roushan: "Hiss... this... may be a little closer to the former site of the Snake King Immortal Palace..."

Bering: "... you can eat something good yourself."

On the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, the Zhao family secretly visited the dignitaries from the West Peak of the Three Mountains in Dongheng’s “Sacred Palace”, and Xiang Wenqing was among them. When they entered, a few servants who did not show the mountains and water were suddenly illuminated by the inscription on the wall up.

It turns out that the four walls of the Holy Palace are full of inscriptions, and the aura of the entire Holy Palace is circulating in a special way. When it passes through a person, it will cast different shadows on the walls, reflecting the person's spiritual appearance.

The monk's spiritual orifice is open, and the meridian is connected to the heaven and the earth. The spiritual energy passing through their body is different from that of a mortal, and the spiritual orifice mask cannot cover this. Those servants who were supposed to be mortals were beaten by spiritual energy and turned out to be half-immortals. Among them were the patriarch's personal servants. Lu Wu had penetrated to this point!

Xiang Wenqing made an attack on the spot, but those half-immortal Lu Wu did not know what strange celestial artifacts were on them, and they slipped from under the eyes of the middle stage of Ascension. While these Lu Wus were running wildly, they "just happened" to run into the Qiyang Princess convoy returning from the autumn outing.

The desperate desperadoes rushed over indiscriminately. Amidst the turmoil and treachery, Qu Longhou, who was in charge of managing Tao County, was away on business in Xiajiang, but heard the bad news thousands of miles away.

At this time, in the Three Mountains Fairy Mountain, a figure sitting in a lotus pond felt something, shook slightly, and opened his eyes.
