Qian Shaobai was sitting on the bow of the boat, with the rainbow reflected orb hanging above his head, slowly extracting the essence of the sun, bathing his soul, and moistening his nine orifices.
It was not until his meritorious deeds were completed that Qian Shaobai gathered his energy, twisted the pearl in his hand, and looked at the waves of the river in silence.
"When can we leave Huaxu Country?" Deputy Lieutenant Guan came to the side holding his sword.
Qian Shaobai pointed to a bend in the river in the distance: "After Huangnitan, we will reach Zhoutang County. There are soldiers and horses stationed at the fortress near the boundary monument."
"Fortunately, these ships did not set off from Lvzhuyuan." Deputy Lieutenant Guan said: "The people on the ship don't know that Wang Zhongding has suffered a disaster, otherwise they would not let us leave easily."
Qian Shaobai scratched his head and worried: "It's just a few ships of silk, but the first big thing can't be done at all this time. Zhao Shu dared to attack the Wang family of Chiyang, which shows that the leader of Huaxu Kingdom has made up his mind to contain Chongxuan Hall and
The family is so powerful that the left prime minister’s plans may all come to nothing.”
"These matters have to be considered by important people." Deputy Lieutenant Guan didn't pay too much attention. Seeing Qian Shaobai's gloominess, he asked, "What is Qian Shijun thinking?"
"I'm thinking about that Zhao Mi." Qian Shaobai played with the orb: "There is such a person in Huaxu country. It is a disaster rather than a blessing for us to have a Xiong country."
But Lieutenant Guan didn't understand: "Zhao Shuo stepped forward to defeat powerful people. This kind of person is most likely to arouse resentment. Isn't he afraid of being liquidated and retaliated afterward?"
Qian Shaobai shook his head and said: "Zhao Shu opened a forum in Huaxu Kingdom to patrol the country, restrained the powerful, wiped out prostitution, and eliminated evil spirits. He was very popular among the people. I also heard some news before, saying that Zhao Shu wrote a letter and proposed that Huaxu State establish a science and technology department.
If the selection of scholars, such a major event that changes the rules and regulations of a country, is really accomplished, Zhao Shui will probably replace Liang Tao's position as the current national advisor."
"Is this Liang Guoshi just watching the situation worsen?" Deputy Lieutenant Guan asked: "Back then, he brought the monks from Chongxuan Hall to fight with you in Jingzong. Both sides suffered serious losses. Liang Guoshi was able to defeat the Four Immortals alone.
It is impossible for him to allow Zhao Shu to run amok."
"I can't figure it out either." Qian Shaobai guessed: "Either Liang Guoshi was injured due to the internal fighting in Chongxuan Hall as rumored in the world, or he is about to ascend to immortality. Either way, at this moment, Chongxuan has no time to take care of worldly affairs.
Without this backbone of the Xuan Hall, the people below will be at a loss."
"Is that why Wang Zhongding lost his mind and went crazy, recruiting loose cultivators from all over the place, practicing heretical practices, and planning to besiege Zhao Shu?" Deputy Lieutenant Guan asked.
"The Wang family in Chiyang really doesn't have much to do when facing Zhao Shu." Qian Shaobai touched his chin and said: "If we raise the flag to rebel on the spot, the four surnames of the Immortal family cannot join forces, and they will be unable to fight alone. Especially when guarding and resisting floods.
Guan Liang Bao, whether he can succeed or not depends on him."
Deputy Lieutenant Guan laughed and said: "If Liang Bao dares to mobilize elite soldiers from Juhong Pass to rebel, I'm afraid Zuo Xiang will wake up from his sleep with laughter."
"An expert like Master Liang cannot be in seclusion without any arrangements. Liang Bao must strictly guard the border and will not act rashly." Qian Shaobai said: "And the Chiyang Wang family cannot rely on Liang Bao.
It was difficult for them to achieve anything by themselves. As a result, only Wang Zhongding went crazy, and the other Wang clan members did not respond, and this may not be a strategy for the big family to maintain their livelihood."
"How do you say that?" Deputy Lieutenant Guan asked.
Qian Shaobai said: "Let a madman be released, let the court kill him to calm the people, and privately give him some benefits and high-level positions, and then let the matter be settled."
"Would Lord Huaxu do this?" Deputy Lieutenant Guan asked.
"I was able to do it before, but now, it's hard to say." Qian Shaobai suddenly had a feeling, stood up and looked to the east.
I saw two small dots appearing in the sky in the distance, and the yin and yang energy between heaven and earth was restless. It felt like a huge stone was weighing on my heart, making people instinctively feel fear.
"Yes, it's Zhao Shu!" Qian Shaobai was suddenly shocked and found that he was actually extremely afraid of Zhao Shu.
"Stop the boat!"
At this time, a shout came from mid-air, followed by rolling thunder, and the people on the boat were restless.
"What should I do?" Deputy Lieutenant Guan drew his sword and asked, but saw Qian Shaobai's face changed and he couldn't say a word about how to deal with it, and all the opportunities to deal with it were lost.
Zhao Shu came very quickly, and with a few strokes of the Qingxuan pen, a large block of ice immediately formed on the river, blocking the navigation of ships.
Seeing Zhao Shu approaching, Deputy Lieutenant Guan immediately raised his sword and flew forward, intending to stop him. However, Zhao Shui was too lazy to fight with him, and directly summoned the mighty tiger general. The ax fell with a huge force, and Deputy Lieutenant Guan and his sword were killed.
Plunged into the icy river water.
Qian Shaobai woke up at this time and hurriedly took out the orb. The dazzling rainbow light condensed into countless needles and spread around. Zhao Shu spread the spell widely and turned into hundreds of sword lights. There was a sound of the piano from behind and the sharp edges merged.
Under the blessing of the two phases, the hauni was overwhelmed and collapsed on the spot!
Qian Shao's white robe was torn to pieces, blood mist sprayed from his mouth and nose, and he fell directly from the bow of the ship and fell onto the ice.
Zhao Shu rushed after him, and the restraining talisman fell. Qian Shaobai froze, and was directly lifted up by Zhao Shu by his collar.
"A member of the Shangjing Sect? Your name is Qian Xiang, right?" Zhao Shu asked forcefully.
"My lord... Qian Shaobai is indeed a member of the Shangjing Sect." Qian Shaobai could only reply, "I didn't expect Marquis Zhenming to arrive so quickly."
Zhao Shu threw Qian Shaobai to the ground: "Should I say you are too greedy or careless? After the battle failed, instead of escaping as soon as possible, you planned to snatch the silk and transport it back to the Bear Country. You almost succeeded.
!”
Ever since he learned that a large amount of silk from the Chiyang Wang family was about to leave the Huaxu Kingdom, Zhao Shui had been flying non-stop to stop the cargo ship before it left the country. He did not leave any room for action when taking action, and there was Lu Wang.
Qian Shaobai and Lieutenant Guan are not the same enemy.
"I... I really have some luck." Qian Shaobai was lying on the ice, enduring the pain of his injuries. He saw Deputy Lieutenant Guan being thrown out of the water by the mighty tiger. His body was also covered with scars, and he was holding a long hand.
Sword, holding on to stand up.
"Don't resist stubbornly." Zhao Shui snapped his fingers and made up a restraint, letting him fall immediately, and then said: "Since you have been captured, I will not deliberately torture you. Just wait until someone from the Xiong Kingdom comes.
Let’s talk about it. Two spies with good cultivation are still members of the Shangjing Sect. Xiong Guo will not abandon you casually. It depends on what good price they will offer.”
"Let Marquis Zhenming worry about it." Qian Shaobai gave up his struggle, but he felt a strong sense of frustration in his heart. The gap between himself and Zhao Shu was astonishing, and he was afraid that he would never be able to surpass him in his lifetime.
Zhao Shu was about to take Qian Shaobai and Qian Shaobai away when he heard a sharp roar from the west. He looked up and saw a raging tide coming out from the bend of the river. The ice surface trembled and the tide roared.
, its power is frightening.
"Be careful, there is an expert approaching from the west!" Lu Wangji flew above and said bluntly: "The wave is too powerful and I can't stop it."
Zhao Shu asked General Huwei to mention Qian Shaobai and Qian Shaobai, and said meaningfully: "It seems that your sect elders do not intend to let you go back."
Seeing the rushing tide, Qian Shaobai felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. Zhao Shu didn't have time to move a few cargo ships, so he had to shout loudly and call out the civilians on the ship, and then, together with Lu Wangji, directly used magic to photograph them from the air.
Go and take it far to the shore.
The civilians were taken away by the spell and were still shouting in panic in mid-air. Then they watched the flood below smash the ice and destroy it. Several large cargo ships were also knocked away and capsized on the shore.
Zhao Shu was secretly surprised when he witnessed the power of such a flood. Suddenly, he saw a monk in white clothes flying from the west, holding a jade vase in his hand, filled with water energy, standing in the sky more than ten feet away.
"Your Excellency, you have great magic power!" Zhao Shu was not in a hurry to take action, but was secretly on guard. At the same time, he asked: "I wonder which master of the Shangjing Sect is this?"
"The thousand-foot-long peak is square and round." The monk in white showed off his cultivation when he said this. Zhao Shu used Yingxuan's scenery technique to actually see a majestic and majestic peak standing alone in front of him.
"Fang Yuanzi? Is he one of the four immortals of the Xiong Kingdom, 'Xuanhuang Fangzhen'?" Zhao Shu had a look of surprise on his face, but he had not yet lost his composure and panic.
The Four Immortals of the Xiong Kingdom are famous far and wide, not only because they are from the Shangjing Sect, but also because the Emperor Slaying the Dragon was the leader of the plan. They invited monks from various sects to build a sky-wide iron barrier to prevent evil dragons and Xuanju.
Escape and facilitate the plan to slay the dragon.
In addition to this, he also had achievements such as the destruction of the Corpse Cult. In terms of prestige, the Four Immortals were not inferior to Liang Tao.
And although most people think that the Four Immortals are not as good as Liang Tao, a living immortal, Zhao Shui can be sure that the Fang Yuanzi in front of him is at least in the realm of becoming an immortal!
"Qi flows through creation, forming a fetus and forming an image." Lingxiao reminded: "This person's cultivation level is no worse than your teacher's. The aura of majestic peaks is enough to turn emptiness into reality, and his movements have the power of a mountain."
"I see." Zhao Shu looked at Fang Yuanzi, raised his hands and asked, "Your Excellency, you have crossed the border and you don't know why?"
"You must be Zhenminghou Zhao Shui." Fang Yuanzi said calmly, "When I meet you today, you are indeed a rare talent."
"Miao praised it." Zhao Shu responded calmly.
"It's a pity that in order to achieve the goal, we will do whatever it takes, forcing ourselves into a situation where we have no way out." Fang Yuanzi shook his head and said, "This is not a way to protect yourself."
"Your Excellency, there is no need to talk too much." Zhao Shui said: "You sent people to the Huaxu Kingdom to try to exchange rice and millet for silk and silk. You just want to use this to let the powerful annex the land and stir up unrest in the country.
It consumes Huaxu's national power. Who will use any means?
As for the retreat, I would like to ask Your Excellency, it has been more than a century since the Four Immortals came down from the mountain to enter the world. They have been working endlessly, and they don’t know how to protect themselves. How many mysteries have they understood? So much so that the younger disciples have to act as spies for the Xiong Kingdom.
, taking risks, can it still be called the inheritance of immortality?"
Fang Yuanzi nodded slightly: "Good eloquence and wit!"
"Your Excellency is here just to get back my disciples." Zhao Shu said: "Please rest assured that our Huaxu Kingdom has its own hospitality etiquette and will not deliberately torture. But how to release the captured soldiers requires
The two countries will send envoys for consultation before a decision can be made."
"Since you said so..." Fang Yuanzi took a deep breath, the clouds in the sky and the glaciers underground were churning together, and his eyes were deep and unpredictable: "Please forgive Fang Yuanzi for offending."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Shu was the first to take action. His air was ready, his body and altar rituals were complete, his officers and soldiers were in their positions, and the thunderous arrows fell with a crash!
A thunderbolt flashed, the sky seemed to be cracked, the earth seemed to be missing, and the arrows fell with fierce force even before the sound.
But the thunderous arrow was blocked a few feet away from Fang Yuanzi's head, and a majestic peak with a thousand feet loomed in the sky and the earth, strong and indestructible.
"Thunder arrows are evil?" Fang Yuanzi noticed it, and then said: "There are differences in the Qi mechanism of the Dharma veins. It seems true but not true."
While speaking, Fang Yuanzi raised one hand slightly, tilted the jasper vase slightly, and the vast ocean water suddenly gushes out, turning into a huge wave in the blink of an eye, rushing towards him.
The so-called overwhelming forces are just used as metaphors by ordinary people, but they do not know that faced with real overwhelming forces, ordinary people are completely unable to resist.
Even though Zhao Shu's cultivation level is now unmatched in the past, he still felt powerless when he saw the vast ocean waves that could cover several acres. Once he was involved in it and endured the grinding and grinding of tens of thousands of water, he would immediately be shattered to pieces.
.
"Separate and retreat!" Zhao Shui immediately sent a message to Lu Wangji, while Qingxuan's pen kept writing blankly, intending to freeze the ocean. On the other hand, Lu Wangji was stroking his strings and vibrating, trying to chop the waves and divide the flood tide.
However, Fang Yuanzi's jasper vase poured out a steady stream of ocean water, churning and rolling endlessly, unable to be frozen, and difficult to separate. It was chasing Zhao Shu all the way, and the flood cover became wider and wider.
Seeing this, Zhao Shu pulled out a string of talismans in five colors: green, red, yellow, white and black, and began to chant:
"Meng Zhang is in action, and his aura is flourishing. The supervisors are arrogant, and they are in charge of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Zhong is in charge, and he is in charge of the five directions!"
The talisman turned into five colors of mixed light and shot towards the water of the ocean. Wherever it passed, the ocean dried up and the waves calmed down.
Zhao Shu had used this method to deal with the Chiyundu monks, and the results were remarkable. Now that he has established himself in the altar and used the Five Elements Great Taboo again, he is still able to resist even an expert like Fang Yuanzi.
Fang Yuanzi was secretly surprised, but his magic power was endless. He tilted the jade vase another three points, and the waves surged. Huge waves piled on top of each other. Even the mainstay would be destroyed by the waves!
"As expected of the Four Immortals of the Xiong Kingdom, with such power, there is no room for any trickery." Zhao Shu retreated in a hurry, and at the same time asked General Hu Might to throw Qian Shaobai and the two of them towards Wang Yang Hongbo.
Upon seeing this, Fang Yuanzi immediately made a seal, and the jasper vase sucked back the vast ocean of water. The strong suction force swept Qian Shaobai and Qian Shaobai away together.
"Peak Master!" Qian Shaobai was photographed next to Fang Yuanzi, looking miserable, and said: "This disciple is ashamed. He did not do things well and was captured by the enemy."
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this." Fang Yuanzi's mind was spinning, thinking about whether to kill Zhao Shu here and now.
But before he could figure it out, five-colored auspicious clouds surged from the distant sky. Zhang Duanjing stood on the clouds, holding a ruler in his hand, pointing a finger from a distance, and the five lights converged in a line, shining directly on Fang Yuanzi.
"Five Elements Great Evil Divine Light?" Fang Yuanzi, Qian Shaobai and the others hurriedly avoided it. They saw the divine light shooting towards the ground, bursts of green smoke rising wherever it touched, and even the earth and stone barriers were reduced to ashes. It was extremely powerful.
, I'm afraid that even the body of a semi-immortal who has achieved great success in changing his nature will not be able to bear it.
"Master Zhang, your cultivation has improved again." Fang Yuanzi no longer wanted to fight, and took Qian Shaobai and the two of them to fly towards the direction of Xiong Country. The voice came from far away: "We only met in a hurry today, please forgive me.
Fang Yuanzi crossed the line and offended. Say goodbye now, no need to see you off!"
