"Report!"
In the prefect's mansion, the national teacher heard the sound and raised his eyes lightly. The sound of the piano did not stop at his fingertips, and while playing with the strings, he said, "Come in."
The herald Xiaochun entered and knelt down and saluted.
The national teacher asked casually: "How is the situation outside?"
"Chonghua's second attack this morning, the north corner tower of the city fell, and the defending camp has retreated to the north market to reinforce the barrier."
"Can you survive tomorrow?"
The herald was sweating coldly on his forehead, clasped his fists and lowered his head: "The commander of the defending city said he, he is incompetent, he can only do his best..."
"Then he is indeed quite incompetent." After the national teacher Yun Danfeng said this sentence, the sound of the piano gradually increased, suddenly raised his finger, and shouted in a low voice, "Lin Ling, summon."
But seeing the stream of light flashing, one of the nine eyes embedded in the guqin opened completely following his command - that eye blinked, and the pupil radiated the brilliance of blue, and the light became brighter and brighter. It was impossible for people to look directly at each other. When the Huaguang was extinguished, a colorful scale was already hanging above the guqin.
The national teacher waved his broad sleeves, and the scales flew towards the herald, hovering in front of him.
"Take it. This is the Xuanwu Heavy Armor."
The herald was shocked!
Isn't Xuanwu Heavy Armor one of the miracles left over from ancient times? That is the most unbreakable defensive magic weapon in the world! Why is it hidden in the nine-eyed qin of the national teacher
Before I was shocked, I heard the national teacher add: "One of them."
Herald: "..."
"Don't underestimate this piece, it is enough to withstand the attack of 100,000 heroic divisions. Take it to our waste city guards - remember, the city guards can die, and the black armor cannot be lost. If Looking back, what is the loss of this scale armor?"
After a pause, the strings rang loudly, and the national teacher smiled sweetly:
"I want all of you to be buried."
The herald hurriedly responded, holding the scale armour above his head with both hands, and stepped back. The ghostly prefect's mansion was then left with only the national teacher.
The sound of the piano is still gurgling like a quiet spring, and in front of the national teacher, the former group of brilliance named "Jingchen" has transformed into an incognito shape, it looks like a pure white baby. Dog, every hair is exuding a sparkling serenity. But the puppy didn't have any consciousness yet. It crouched on the soft felt blanket of the prefect's mansion, covered its eyes with its paws, and lay on the ground motionless. In the calming of the sound of the piano, it seemed very serene.
The national teacher raised his eyes, and the light emitted by the spirit beast floated in his eyes. He whispered: "Jingchen, I have almost solved the seal they gave you. In another day and a half, I will be able to take you. Get out of here and go back to your hometown. You have to be obedient and don't give me any more accidents. Huh?"
The puppy's ears moved a little, and his eyelids opened slightly, but a cold blue demon light that was completely different from its petite and cute appearance was revealed.
at the same time.
City North Corner Tower.
The Liao Kingdom was smashed in this battle, and the Teng Snake Flag of the Northern Army was already flying high in the broken walls in the corner. Mo Xi's forward was stationed in this corner of Daze City, and not far in front of them, the blue-colored protective barrier created by the monks of the Liao Kingdom was rising heavily.
The scout withdrew and informed the coach Mo Xi, who was looking at the Liao Army's defense, and then asked, "Commander Mo, do you want to take advantage of the victory and attack again?"
Mo Xijian frowned, folded his arms and looked at the defensive barrier that was building higher and higher, his expression solemn.
"Where did they get the basalt heavy armor..."
The scout was startled and turned his head to look at the blue-colored barrier: "Xuanwu Heavy Armor?! Then, isn't that an artifact that only our gentleman Hui has?! Moreover, after the gentleman Huixian passed away, the Xuanwu Heavy Armor also lost its contractor, and I don't know where it is scattered. Where did it go, and why is it now in the hands of Liao Kingdom?"
Mo Xi pursed his lips, his eyes darkened: "The effectiveness of their enchantment is far from the true strength of the basalt heavy armor. The heavy armor mastered by the Liao Kingdom should not be complete, maybe only one piece or two pieces."
After a pause, he said again: "But as long as it is a basalt heavy armor, even half a piece is enough for us."
"Send the order, the whole army will attack first, guard the north of the city, and repair it in place."
"Yes!"
"In addition, all the leaders are invited to the main tent. I want to discuss with them the plan for the third siege."
The third siege was not so much a siege as a search.
Back then, the place where Shen Tang sealed the blood beasts was in a lake north of Daze City. The Chonghua army had torn apart a corner of Daze City. From this corner, monks with quick movements could go to the lake to capture them. Probe.
However, this matter involved Chonghua's secrets, and Mo Xi was inconvenient to say that he only told a search team selected by the emperor about the discovery of the remnants of blood beasts, and the rest of the monks arranged matters for other reasons to respond.
The mission of Gu Mang accompanying the army is also being arranged in this operation.
"It's roughly like this." After everyone in the Zhongjun camp had left, Mo Xi and Gu Mang reiterated the real situation, "I sent Murong Lian and Mengze battalions to attack the main city of Daze, but the purpose is not The siege of the city is dispersing the Liao Kingdom's military strength. What really matters is that a team of ten elite spies must go to the lake to the north while we are fighting head-on with the Liao Kingdom, and capture the remnants of the blood beasts. "
As he said that, he handed over to Gu Mang the ropes for the search for Sinan and the soul-seeking rope given by the emperor.
"As long as we bring the remnants back, it will not be easy for Liaoguo to reawaken the blood beasts. So in this battle, whether Daze City can be captured is not the most important thing, the most important thing is not to let Liaoguo take the lead. Take away the remnant soul of the Gorefiend in one step. Do you understand?"
Gu Mang tied the golden gleaming soul rope around his waist, patted his waist, and took Sinan: "Don't worry, when did your brother Gu Mang fail in his mission?"
At this time, he hadn't put on a face covering, and was only wearing a tall and straight northern army uniform with neat braids. With a gold rope, a bayonet, and a mask around his waist, a thousand receivers are tied around his wrists, and the blue-black edge of the neckline stands tall, covering all the lock slave rings under the abstinence and strict robe.
Looking at it at this moment, it is actually the same heroic appearance as when he went on an expedition many years ago.
Mo Xi looked at him for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and embraced him in his arms, lowered his head, and gently kissed the top of his hair: "Yes. You have never failed."
After a pause, he said again: "But this time you have to remember that no matter what, your own safety is the most important thing. If there is anything you can't support, you must call me."
He raised his hand and rubbed Gu Mang's neck across the overlapping collars of the military robes, the place where they had cast the lotus seal on each other in order to protect each other when they were young.
Mo Xi pressed Gu Mang's forehead and whispered, "As long as you call me, I will come to you immediately. Remember?"
In the past, Gu Mang was Mo Xi's guardian. He was only willing to give Mo Xi the most comprehensive protection, but never wanted to share his suffering with Mo Xi. So in the past, Gu Mang would only say "haha" and say "it's fine" and "you brother Gu Mang is the best". But now, Gu Mang blinked his warm blue eyes, and then he raised his head.
"Okay," he said, "I remembered it all."
It is not too late, this round of repairs only took less than two hours. When the twilight was all around and the setting sun was like blood, the order of the Northern Territory came down - Chonghua launched the third siege.
This round came too fast, even though Liao Guo had been prepared, he was still in a hurry. This time, the 50,000 attacking cultivators led by Murong Lian acted as the vanguard to meet Liaojun head-on, while Mo Xi's army collided with the defenders on the north side of Daze City. Hongxia is even more fiery.
Under the cover of this mighty offensive, ten elite spies, including Gu Mang, set off from the north and sneaked into the depths of the city of Daze City with their own different routes. The lake swept away.
Daze Lake.
This is a vast and boundless lake, and the mountains on both sides of the lake stretch out to no end. At this time, the sky was already very dark, and a ray of setting sun spread across the lake. Three or two Mutian sand geese were startled, and they flew into the depths of the sunset with mocking cry.
Gu Mang, dressed in black robes, flew to the top of an attic by the lake, and stood with his hands behind his back in the wind, staring at the color of the lake under the attic.
He was about to go down to the lake, but at this moment, his head suddenly tensed, and then a burst of heartburn pain exploded from his heart and continued up his spine—Gu Mang let out a low pained sound. All of a sudden he covered his throbbing forehead.
Why at this time...
He took a few deep breaths, and after a while, the pain eased slightly, but the dizziness increased instead. At this moment, the sound of slaughter in the distance sounded, and the official siege of the main force broke out.
Gu Mang knew that the time could not be delayed, so he blinked his eyes hard, trying to restore the clarity of his vision as soon as possible.
But when he raised his head and looked at the vast Daze Lake again, a vague phantom suddenly appeared in front of him.
Gu Mang was startled: "Shen, Shen Tang...?"
In the hallucination, he actually seemed to see Shen Tang standing in the middle of the lake, behind him was the surging waves, huge waves. The wind and thunder were surging, and Shen Tang jumped up on the waves, hunting in white.
The exiled man had a chilled expression, raised his hand to summon a seven-stringed guqin, and raised his chin slightly: "Hua Po An, listen. Your ambitions have ended here, whether it is Kyushu Continent or Chonghua, It will never fall into your hands—you will never get what you want."
blooming dark...
Flowers are dark.
These three words are just like the deep meaning they contain, like a short-lived flower breaking through the deep darkness, and exploded in Gu Mang's chaotic brain. Gu Mang only felt that the name seemed to have some kind of power, which made a mad bloodthirsty murderous intent pour out of his heart.
"You will always be the one who has nothing in the Cultivation Academy."
There seemed to be a voice in Gu Mang's heart shouting angrily: You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! I'm going to tear you apart until I kill you - what do I want? ! Why do you decide my fate, you ridiculous... you... you incompetent!
Shen Tang said: "It's all over."
As soon as the fingertips fell, the piano sounded loudly. Gu Mang's heart trembled, he actually felt that the black demon energy in his body was about to burst out at this very moment!
Seeing that the situation was going to get out of control in an instant, Gu Mang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Yongye, summon!"
The Mowu bayonet changed shape in response, Gu Mang took it, gritted his teeth and stabbed the back of his left hand—
Blood is flowing!
The severe pain pulled him away from the quagmire of hallucinations, he gasped sharply, and closed his eyes forcefully. When he raised his eyes again, Daze Lake was full of bleak eyes, the waves were clear, and Shen Tang's phantom disappeared.
"..." Gu Mang took back Yong Ye with a breath, raised his hand to quickly treat the wound, and glanced at the sparkling lake with lingering fears. He didn't know why he was able to see the afterimages of the war hundreds of years ago, but this was not the first time he saw Shen Tang in his mind. for what
Thousands of thoughts came to my mind, but I didn't have time to think about it.
Gu Mang planned to tell Mo Xi about his abnormality after he went back. The top priority at this moment was to catch the remnant soul of the blood beast left in the lake. Thinking like this, he adjusted Sinan, injected spiritual power, and then confronted the vast lake.
"Guide the way." Sinan got the order and began to turn frantically. After about half a cup of tea, the wicker-shaped leaf gradually slowed down, little by little, and finally stopped.
Gu Mang was stunned for a while.
Guiding Sinan did not point into the lake as the king said, but directly faced the direction where Gu Mang was standing! Gu Mang was startled and turned his head to look, but seeing the houses behind him were like grains of grain, the finger of the soul, Sinan, actually pointed directly to the core of the hinterland of Daze City.
"… broken?"
Gu Mang adjusted his standing position and shook Sinan again. That Sinan was trembling and hesitating, not knowing where to guide him.
"Where is that ray of blood demon remnant soul in the lake?" After asking two or three times, Sinan Biaoye turned around, but finally pointed to the location in Daze City.
Gu Mang was a little silent. He put Sinan away and touched his chin.
According to what Your Majesty had probed, the remnants of the blood beasts sank in the depths of Daze Lake. Sinan of the other secret agents didn't know how to show it, but he always insisted on guiding them into the city, which would not be a coincidence.
Could that be...
He groaned in his heart.
Could it be that the soul of the blood beast has been successfully captured by the Liao Kingdom in the past few days, and is now trapped somewhere in the city? !
