At night, there was a golden gong on the Anxiwei Mansion, and the music rang in unison. All the thin guards lined up one after another. Those who rang the chime and those who rang the chime, the music was loud, and the hall was very lively.
An Lushan ate meat and drank wine, the wine spilled all over the couch, a young eunuch hurriedly wiped his body, all the officers and men were rough people who had followed him for a long time, and kept yelling. In the arena, two warriors each held a long halberd and danced to the music.
Mo Zhigen and Lu Xu were on both sides of Anlu Mountain, each kneeling on one knee, holding a large gold plate in their hands. When serving the dishes, the attendants put roasted meat, fruits and vegetables, roast chicken, etc. on the plate. Or he just pointed at it, and the little eunuch came to take it, held it up, or fed it to An Lushan, or let him eat by himself.
Both Mo Zhigen and Lu Xu took the opportunity to look at An Lushan. His size can only be described as a mountain, and he is covered with various ornaments. When he entered the city that day, the gold ring on his neck was gone. Instead, It was a necklace of peacock green gemstones, huge night pearls on his ears, and a white jade belt on his belly.
There were more than forty generals who entered the hall to participate in the dinner, and there were also many Tang military officers invited by An Lushan, including Hu Sheng. Everyone chatted and laughed happily, while An Lushan watched the warriors fighting in the hall, seeing one of them being knocked down by the other, he couldn't help laughing.
Mo Zhigen signaled Lu Xu to look into the hall with his eyes, and saw that the two warriors were beating harder and harder, and the music on one side had stopped, replaced by continuous beating of drums, and the movements of the contestants were getting faster and faster, one of them lost his strength , An Lushan roared: "Kill!"
I saw the strong man chasing up, stabbing the weak man's abdomen with a halberd, breaking his strong abdominal muscles, and piercing through his back. The weak man immediately fell to the ground with blood gushing from his mouth.
It was like this every night in Anxi's mansion, but it was the first time for Hu Sheng to come here. Immediately, his expression changed and he almost cried out.
The generals shouted wildly, the strong man let the halberd be nailed to the weaker's abdomen, turned around and knelt down on one knee towards An Lushan, clasped his fists in salute, when An Lushan was about to get up to reward, his face suddenly changed.
The loser who was pierced through the abdomen by the halberd suddenly pulled out a long sword from the side of his leg, exhausted all his strength, and threw it at the winner whose back was turned to him!
Everyone in the hall shouted at the same time, Lu Xu almost couldn't hold the gold plate steadily, and a man rolled over with his skull and fell down the steps. An Lushan roared instead: "Good! Reward him, reward him!"
However, the loser avenged his revenge, his stomach was broken, and he could no longer live. The blood of the winner spurted wildly from his neck and sprinkled it all over the ground. The whole hall was filled with the smell of blood.
"Go to Leopard—" An Lushan said again.
The generals shouted, "Good!"
Then, the gold plates in Mo Zhigen and Lu Xu's hands were removed, and two white jade plates were replaced with good raw mutton. Only then did Lu Xu know what "holding meat" meant. Immediately, a cage was pulled in from outside the hall, and a black cheetah was trapped in the cage.
There was another "wow" in the hall. Hu Sheng said, "What is this again?"
An Lushan laughed a few times, and said, "Hu Sheng, wait and see."
Lu Xu looked at the cheetah, and then at Mo Zhigen. Mo Zhigen hesitated for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and shook his head slightly. As soon as the black panther smelled the bloody smell in the hall, it stared at An Lushan and let out a low growl. Then several animal trainers came in with spiked sticks and poked the black panther, and the panther came to the middle. The servants first built up iron nets, connected them with iron wires, pushed them to the beams of the house, and tied them. Leave an opening for one person to enter.
The bell rang, and four teenagers came to the hall, all wearing a pair of silk white trousers, with snow-white skin and bare chest, with Khitan characters written in cinnabar on their backs to indicate their identities, and bells tied around their ankles. Leopards are earth-colored.
Lu Xu: "..."
Mo Zhigen: "..."
Lu Xu looked at Mo Rigen, and Mo Rigen shook his head very slightly.
An Lushan said: "Who are you betting on? Come, come! Bet!"
It's time for the butler to hold four trays, corresponding to the four teenagers. Lu Xu's scalp felt numb when he saw it. Mo Zhigen had heard in the tribe that An Lushan was fond of beautiful boys. Who would have thought that he would be so blatant and disregarding human life in Chang'an.
In the hall, Tang officials placed their bets with fear on their faces. An Lushan said, "I bet on the third!"
The young man hurriedly knelt down towards Anlu Mountain with a crying voice, and the four young men were all sent in immediately after. As soon as the animal trainer withdrew his stick, the black panther rushed forward!
The teenagers fled crazily, screaming in panic, and even their feet were frightened. Lu Xu became nervous, and when he was about to speak, screams rang out one after another.
The black panther was dressed in black, while the teenagers were covered in white. When blood gushed out after being bitten to death, the scene was extremely thrilling.
However, An Lushan's group was extremely excited and yelled one after another. They saw the black leopard kill two people and ignored the others. They were about to enjoy the corpses, but they were beaten by the animal trainer with a nail stick, and then they became angry yell.
An Lushan stood up suddenly, and the hall was shocked. He walked to the couch, grabbed the meat on the plate that Lu Xu was holding, and threw it into the cage. The animal trainer and the servant worked together to hook the dead man out.
Mo Zhigen looked up at An Lushan's back, and saw An Lushan's fat waist and loose trousers, revealing the edge of a red gemstone, which seemed to be embedded in the flesh near the hip in the middle of the back waist.
Mo Zhigen winked at Lu Xu, but Lu Xu was extremely angry, looking inside the cage.
There were two teenagers left in the cage, and they just wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but the mouth of the cage was sealed immediately, and another round of killing began, and then, the screams disappeared quickly, and the black panther killed another person.
The hall was silent, An Lushan lost, his expression sank immediately, but he didn't order to open the cage door, and finally the young man begged: "My lord, please spare me, let me go around..."
When An Lushan was about to speak, the black panther suddenly rushed towards the last boy. Lu Xu closed his eyes tightly, and a final scream came from his ears. Accompanied by An Lushan's wanton laughter, he said, "Fen the money!"
So the butler personally sent the gambling money to everyone's case. Mo Zhigen repeatedly signaled Lu Xu to look behind An Lushan, and An Lushan turned around again, pulled up his pants, and tightened his belt. When passing the steps, he casually glanced at Lu Xu.
"You," An Lushan said, "where are you from?"
The hall was silent, Lu Xu raised his head and replied, "From Liangzhou."
Mo Zhigen opened his eyes wide immediately, and An Lushan ordered: "Go in."
Lu Xu knew that An Lushan must have noticed him when he showed disgust from the beginning. He immediately put down the gold plate, and under Mo Zhigen's shocked gaze, he took off his leather belt and held it in his hand. He only wore a shirt Skirt, go in barefoot.
An Lushan looked at Lu Xu with an evil smile, and said, "One round of marching drums, if you survive, come to my room tonight."
The generals laughed. Hu Sheng and other military officers had never seen Lu Xu. Lu Xu was shirtless, not as thin as the young man before, and walked slowly towards the black panther.
Mo Zhigen bowed his head and recited the spell silently. One of the seven nail-headed arrows slowly floated in from the window, rose to a high place, and was suspended in the air. The arrow was aimed at the black panther.
Lu Xu looked back at Mo Zhigen, Mo Zhigen nodded imperceptibly, and Lu Xu bowed into the cage.
When the black panther was angry because he couldn't eat meat, he suddenly saw another person coming, and immediately backed away slowly, looking at Lu Xu. Lu Xu was not afraid at all, so he stood in front of the black panther and looked at it.
In front of that gaze, the black panther was actually a little bit afraid.
"My dear generals!" An Lushan said, "Who are you betting on?"
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, all of them were very surprised. An Lushan sneered again: "I bet on the Black God, come on!"
For a while, several big drums beat wildly at the same time, the black panther bowed, and Lu Xu bowed at the same time.
Mo Zhigen was so nervous that sweat slid down his forehead and dripped to the ground.
In an instant, the black panther turned into an off-string arrow and shot at Lu Xu with a "swish". Lu Xu turned around barefoot and stepped on the iron net. Leopard!
One person and one leopard changed positions in an instant, and the whole hall immediately cheered. Mo Zhigen relaxed a little, knowing that the black panther was not as fast as Lu Xu, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly.
The next moment, the black panther roared and grabbed Lu Xu. Lu Xu's face remained unchanged, he bowed to avoid it, reached the black panther's belly, put its front paws on it, and threw a direct blow over the shoulder!
In an instant, the hall was completely silent, and even the drummer forgot to beat it down. In the silence, the black panther was spun and fell to the iron net!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At this time, the drumbeat fell again, and then Lu Xu stretched his arms, jumped up on the spot, stepped on the iron net and rushed to the top of the big cage. Mo Zhigen looked up, and the black panther rushed up, Lu Xu He hooked the top of the iron net with a leather belt, and flew away!
At the end of the war drum, the black panther rushed high, hooking its claws on the top of the iron net. Lu Xu turned over again, passed between the black panther's two claws, kicked the black panther back, and shouted: "Go to hell!"
The black panther let out a roar, and was kicked in the side. Then Lu Xu walked around its neck with a leather belt, strangled it hard again, hung on the barbed wire, and fell downwards, grabbing the whole black panther from the back , took it down suddenly!
The leather belt tightened immediately, wrapping the panther's neck tightly for an instant, the panther let out a muffled growl but couldn't let it out, its four claws scratched in the air, and was hung in mid-air.
Lu Xu landed, stood in the cage, and looked around.
An Lushan and Lu Xu looked at each other.
"You lost." Lu Xu said coldly.
The hall was silent, only to see the black panther making a soft noise from its throat, being strangled, and the light in its eyes gradually disappearing. Lu Xu silently recited the superseding mantra, and put one hand on the belly of the black panther, secretly thinking that if you don't kill you, someone will die because of Anlu Mountain tomorrow night, so he went to supersede him.
That night, Mo Zhigen and Lu Xu were taken to the bedroom in Anlu Mountain, and the housekeeper waited on them. The purchaser was terrified and said, "My lord, they are two brothers. The one who offered the offer didn't come today..."
Purchasing told the story once, when someone knocked on the door outside, An Lushan said, "Wait!"
After purchasing the whole sentence, An Lushan asked Lu Xu, "Is what he said true?"
Lu Xu nodded, and Mo Zhigen said: "My lord, my little brother has a talent on weekdays, and he can run fast since childhood..."
An Lushan raised his hand impatiently, indicating that he didn't ask you. He said to the purchaser and the housekeeper, "You all go down."
After the two retreated, An Lushan waved to Lu Xu and said, "Come, come here."
Lu Xu walked slowly towards Anlu Mountain, Mo Zhigen lowered his head, his lips moved slightly, seven arrows with nail heads flew from all directions, suspended in the air in the middle of the night, and surrounded Anlu Mountain's bedroom.
An Lushan stretched out his palm like a giant spirit, grabbed Lu Xu, and hugged him into his arms. Lu Xu struggled and shouted: "Brother!"
An Lushan coaxed Lu Xu, and kept licking his face, saying, "Are you from Liangzhou? Then are your parents there? Let your brother go back and tell your parents..."
Lu Xu shouted: "No! My lord, let me go!"
Lu Xu wanted to push An Lushan away, but An Lushan's wrist was as strong as an iron hoop, and he would not let go of the lock. Finally, Lu Xu couldn't bear it anymore and roared angrily, "Let me go!"
An Lushan got angry, and also shouted: "Toast, don't eat fine wine!"
Mo Zhigen hurried forward, pulled Lu Xu, and made him kneel down. An Lushan got up and walked towards Mo Zhigen and Lu Xu, revealing his back. The huge body was full of oppression like a mountain, and Mo Zhigen Begging: "My lord, please forgive me, my little brother is just ignorant..."
An Lushan took a deep breath, and just as he was about to get furious—
——A light flashed in Mo Zhigen's eyes, and he pulled Lu Xu with his left hand. The two jumped up at the same time, flew back, and then Mo Zhigen whistled.
The seven nail-headed arrows broke through walls, windows and doors in all directions with a "shua", and flew towards the back of Anlu Mountain at the same time!
An Lushan turned around in an instant, and Mo Zhigen raised his hand and slapped him directly at his waist!
Immediately after the next moment, the black fire swept away, sending the two of them flying, and the seven arrows with nail heads swirled in the air like shooting stars, chasing Anlu Mountain all the way. Blazing red flames burst out, and then stretched out two giant hands to catch all the arrows!
The flames on his back kept erupting and burning, and black air burst out from his eyes. When Lu Xu saw that the situation was not good, he immediately took off the long sword on the wall and stabbed at Anlu Mountain.
"Exorcist—" An Lushan's voice suddenly changed, turning into a roar more terrifying than that of a black dragon, just like the inner demon seen in Dunhuang that night, the black energy spread out and filled the entire room. Mo Zhigen shouted: "Lu Xu! Run!"
The two were rushing out of the door and came to the courtyard, but a black shadow suddenly dispersed, turned into a whirlwind, and swept towards the two.
Lu Xu and Mo Zhigen jumped up in the air, and Mo Zhigen shook himself up and turned into a wolf, but the black whirlwind had dispersed into Gu insects, and scattered towards the wolf's fur.
"Mo Zhigen!" Lu Xu shouted.
"You go!" The wolf was instantly submerged in the black sea of Gu insects, and An Lushan chased him out, showing two giant arms on his back, and then the giant arms skyrocketed, and grabbed Lu Xu. Lu Xu stepped on the wall, somersaulted, and hesitated in the air, trying to save Mo Zhigen, but An Lushan's magic arm had already grabbed him fiercely.
And at this moment, the wolf rushed forward, bit the magic arm, the flames exploded, and the wolf was ejected. Lu Xu finally made up his mind, turned into a white deer in the air, soared into the air, and rushed towards the end of the night.
An Lushan held the wolf with both arms, the wolf couldn't help trembling, countless Gu worms came out from its hair, An Lushan slammed it to the ground again, the wolf couldn't help twitching and whimpering.
The Gu worms were densely packed, climbing from the ground, and gathered into the bodies of two Gu apes.
"Just now I wanted to remind you." One of the Gu apes said, "I met an exorcist outside, I'm afraid they will take action tonight."
An Lushan snorted coldly, put away the two flame demon arms, put them into the split back, and said in a deep voice: "Take it down, so I can take care of it, and I will personally come to judge tomorrow."
Lu Xu turned into a human being on a roof, panting for breath.
The black fire gathered in front of him, and Lu Xu was startled for a moment. When he looked at the gathered man, he found that it was Yang Guozhong.
"Xiao prison?" Lu Xu said.
"I wanted to go to save you." Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice, "What is Li Jinglong's plan? He can't let you go to die like this."
Lu Xu looked at Yang Guozhong vigilantly, but did not answer. Yang Guozhong asked again: "Where did Li Jinglong go?"
Lu Xu took a deep breath, holding a nail-headed arrow of Mo Zhigen's magic weapon in his hand, Yang Guozhong said: "Want to avenge your parents? But you can't kill me if you shoot now."
"Don't be nervous." A voice said in Lu Xu's ear, it was Qiu Yongsi's voice, and whispered, "Just ask him where Ye Ming's body is hidden by him, and he will leave immediately."
"Where did you hide Ye Ming's body?" Lu Xu then asked coldly.
Yang Guozhong was shocked instantly. When he heard this, he couldn't help stepping back half a step, and said in a trembling voice, "Who told you?"
"Of course someone will come to clean you up." Lu Xu said coldly, then walked to the end of the eaves, slipped down, and disappeared into the alley.
Yang Guozhong hadn't recovered yet, he couldn't help panting, his eyes were full of hatred.
