The air in this era is as pure as crystal, and the rain is also extremely clean. A strand of crystal rain reaches from the high clouds to the ground. Just the clear water vapor is enough to make people intoxicated. Inside Anyi City
It was still noisy, and people from several factions jumped out to watch the fun. There were people and horses neighing everywhere. Outside Anyi City, it was so quiet that it seemed like another world.
The place where Shangtang entertained guests was very remote. It was a small village more than three hundred miles south of Anyi City. The village was very tidy, and all the houses were neat and tidy. The streets were more than two feet wide.
It was covered with fine white sand, and the rainwater hit the road, splashing small potholes. At the head of the village, under a large sweet-scented osmanthus tree hugged by more than a dozen people, there was a small thatched hut, which was also extremely neat.
.
It was already late at night, and the lights were still flickering in the thatched hut, and a strong smell of meat was drifting far away in the night wind. Xia Jie walked to the thatched hut and took off his heavy boots while being served by a girl in simple clothes.
I put on a pair of light cloth shoes, jumped on the wooden floor that was a few feet higher than the ground, and walked into the thatched hut along the outside corridor.
This is a wine shop that specializes in casual wine and food business. On weekdays, it only sells a few taels of cooked meat and a few kilograms of grain wine to the villagers. But today, on the stove in the corner of the house, a large iron pot was boiling hot.
There were two little lambs, and there was strong wine on the wooden table in the middle of the room. Xia Jie sniffed hard and asked in surprise: "Dongyi people's lamb blood wine?"
Shangtang, whose hair was down and tied with a black cloth at the back of his head, sat steadily at the table and said with a smile: "It is the lamb blood wine of the Dongyi people. A hero like Meng Tianhou can only
This strong drink is worthy of the fierce weather." Yi Yin, who was sitting cross-legged behind Shang Tang, stared at Xia Jie up and down almost rudely, which made Xia Jie feel uncomfortable for a while.
After twisting his body, he released his Wu Power, knocking away a few drops of water on his clothes. Xia Jie rubbed his palms, walked to sit across from Shang Tang, and said with a smile: "I'm determined. Lie"
Wine, good!”
He didn't say much, and didn't wait for Shang Tang to greet him. He just grabbed a jar of blood wine, opened the seal with his palm, and swallowed it in large gulps. His drinking posture was extremely bold, and a large amount of wine splashed out from the corner of his mouth.
It wet his clothes, and then splashed on the table along with his clothes, making a large area of the table wet.
Shang Tang looked at Xia Jie with a smile and clapped his hands gently. The girl who just led Xia Jie in walked to the stove lightly, put the two lambs on a big wooden plate and brought them up. Shang Tangba
He took out a short knife, carefully cut off the head of a lamb, served it on a small plate, and placed it in front of Xia Jie. He pointed at the sheep head and said with a smile: "My Shang clan raised the lamb using a secret method.
, the meat is extremely tender and fragrant, it is unparalleled in the world. Try it when the weather is fierce?"
Inviting people to eat sheep heads is a sign of great respect for nomadic tribes like the Shang people.
Xia Jie dropped the empty wine jar, reached out and grabbed the sheep head, took a few hot bites, tore off a few strips of tender meat and chewed it in his mouth for a while. It was indeed delicious, tender and juicy.
There was no mutton smell at all. He raised his thumb and praised: "Good meat, Shangtang, you took the trouble to do it." He was not polite, and in a while he ate the two lambs cleanly, without any trace of them.
He didn't leave anything for Shang Tang. After he had eaten and drank enough, Xia Jie patted his belly and said, "Good meat, good wine, Shang Tang, you are also a good person. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
After waving his hand, Xia Jie also pulled out a short knife and drew it between his teeth. He glanced at Yi Yin and said with a smile: "We, the Chihu tribe, are the most straightforward and say what we have to say."
Shang Tang exchanged glances with Yi Yin, who was sitting behind him, and a smile rippled on his lips. He said softly: "If you have the time, how about introducing Shang Tang to Mr. Tongtian?"
"My master?" Xia Jie glanced at Shang Tang in surprise, took the hot towel brought by the girl on the side, wiped his hands, and said lightly: "What's the matter? Well, my master has been in Anyi City these days.
, why don’t you go and ask for a meeting?”
After laughing a few times, Shang Tang said in awe: "It is true that Mr. Tongtian has been in Anyi City these days, but he is always accompanied by people from the Xingtian family. Well, in order not to cause misunderstandings from the Xingtian family..."
"Hmm!" Xia Jie pondered for a while, thinking that he should ask Shang Tang's intention first. Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside, and a dozen capable men rushed out from the shadows outside the hut.
The knife was unsheathed and headed towards the road where Xia Jie came from. A man shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing? If you don't want to die, go ahead!"
"Hmph! I'm looking for my own disciple. Do I need to inform you?" came the cold and arrogant voice of Taoist Tongtian. Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside the house. More than a dozen men were swept up by the strong wind without any ability to resist. They didn't know how to throw them away.
How far have we gone? Amidst the sound of footsteps, Tongtian Taoist held a person in one hand and strode in.
Taoist Tongtian, wearing a bright red Taoist robe and a smile on his face, walked into the room and said with a big smile: "Disciple Xia Jie, how come you didn't even notice that someone was following you? If it wasn't for the teacher's whim, I would have followed you.
Isn't there another trouble behind you?" He was carrying two men in black, and Taoist Tongtian grabbed them by the neck and dragged them all the way. Taoist Tongtian had heavy hands, and these two wizards who didn't know their strength
His face had turned purple from suffocation, and he could only breathe out, not in.
With a sneer, Taoist Tongtian threw the two of them to the ground, strode to the table, looked at the large pile of bones in the wooden plate, put his palms in his hands and laughed: "It's such a good night on a rainy night, with wine and meat, disciple,
Why don't you call me Master?" He grabbed Xia Jie, who was kowtowing to him, and Taoist Tongtian sat at the table and shouted: "Come here, serve the meat and wine!"
Xia Jie touched his nose and smiled bitterly at the stunned Shang Tang: "Shang Tang, my master is here. If you have anything to do, just tell my master directly!"
After hesitating for a moment, Shang Tang first saluted Taoist Tongtian, then pointed at the two people lying on the ground unable to move and asked, "These two people?"
Just after he finished speaking, dense footsteps came, and a dozen guards arranged by Shang Tang outside strode in. The eyes of these guards were all red, and Taoist Tongtian casually rolled up his sleeves and gave them all away.
After blowing for more than a hundred miles, such a terrifying master approached their master. How could they not be anxious? Two stout young men rushed into the hut and drew two slashes with long knives in their hands.
The arc light struck Taoist Tongtian's back fiercely.
"Tsk, these guys are pretty good, they came back so fast?" Xia Jiegang stretched out his fist to block the two knives, but Taoist Tongtian's reaction was a thousand times faster than Xia Jieyi's. He pointed out like the wind.
The tip trembled slightly like a young grass bud swaying in the breeze. Circles of soft light blue light rippled from his fingertips. The bodies of more than a dozen guards who shouted loudly to kill froze and fell out of the hut at the same time.
Shangtang was dumbfounded. The corners of Yiyin's eyes also twitched violently for a while, and he bowed respectfully to Taoist Tongtian and said: "Sir, your magical powers are indeed unfathomable. My master has something to ask for, please be kind and help me, the Shang clan."
." Yi Yin leaned down deeply and knocked his forehead heavily on the floor. It seemed that Taoist Tongtian had knocked away more than a dozen guards so easily, but only Yi Yin knew that there were three Jiuding in this group of guards.
A top-notch wizard!
For a Daxia clan like the Shang clan, the three Jiuding high-grade witches were almost half of the elites in the clan. However, the three Jiuding high-grade witches were easily knocked away by Taoist Tongtian twice, but they did not.
Suffering any obvious injuries is as easy as an old man playing with a baby. The terrifying strength displayed by Taoist Tongtian made Shang Tang and Yi Yin's hearts tremble. How could they dare to show any slightest care?
Shang Tang also knelt down deeply in front of Taoist Tongtian, and said in an extremely soft tone: "I have heard of Mr.'s name for a long time, and seeing you today is really extraordinary. Shang Tang has an unmerciful request, please show me your kindness.
"I didn't know where to find a beautifully carved topaz cup with dragon body and phoenix head and blood pattern. Shang Tang poured a cup of lamb blood wine and handed it to Taoist Tongtian respectfully. Yi Yin also ran over quietly.
At the same time, he ordered the girl to stew another pot of mutton quickly, and then ran out to stop the guards from breaking in again and asking for trouble.
Taoist Tongtian laughed triumphantly. He touched his chin, as if he was a little angry because his chin had not grown any beard, so he said with a gloomy face: "A little fame is nothing. I am a poor Taoist in Taoism."
Xia, I'm afraid he's not very famous, hehehe, but this disciple, Pindao, is quite good!" Taoist Tongtian patted Xia Jie's shoulder dotingly, Taoist Tongtian nodded approvingly towards Xia Jie, and took the Shangtang
The wine glass offered.
While Taoist Tongtian patted Xia Jie's body, Xia Jie felt a few extremely powerful heat flowing down his body into Taoist Tongtian's palm. He immediately understood that Taoist Tongtian lent him the sword and sword that saved his life when he went to heaven.
He took all the magic weapons back. He bowed gratefully to Taoist Tongtian. Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in his stomach, and out of thin air, another stream of wine poured into Xia Jie's stomach.
Xia Jie thought of that time when Primordial Taoist, Tongtian Taoist, and Tai Yi appeared in Sunset City at the same time. What a similar scene? He helplessly watched Taoist Tongtian drink up the blood wine in the glass, and he felt in his heart
He smiled bitterly and said: "Well, Master, he is not too polite. He wants to drink when others toast him, but this blood wine can only be poured into my stomach."
On the side, Shang Tang saw Taoist Tongtian drinking the blood wine so happily, and he was overjoyed and helped Taoist Tongtian pour the wine. Both Taoist Tongtian and Xia Jie looked a little strange, so Taoist Tongtian could only bite the bullet and pour the wine.
After pouring cups of fishy blood wine into his mouth, Xia Jie could only let his stomach become filled with blood wine with a stiff face.
In the end, Taoist Tongtian 'drank' six jars of blood wine. Shang Tang complimented Taoist Tongtian with a smile on his face: "Sir, it is indeed a huge amount. Few people in my Shang clan can drink this lamb's blood wine."
Those on the two altars." Shang Tang looked at Taoist Tongtian and then at Xia Jie, wondering in his heart: Why did his face turn so red in such a fierce weather?
Taoist Tongtian, who had a ghost in his heart, laughed a few times, hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and asked Shang Tang with a smile: "Shang Tang, what do you want from Pindao?" He looked at Shang Tang with an unfathomable smile.
His eyes reflected Shang Tang's figure, as if there was another world inside.
Shang Tang just looked at Taoist Tongtian's eyes, and felt that his soul was floating, as if he was about to be sucked in by the darkness. He was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Taoist Tongtian anymore, and said respectfully
Said: "Tang, I heard that Mr. Meng Tianhou accepted Meng Tianhou as his disciple, and built more than 300 dojos in the area of Shennu Lake, Meng Tianhou's fiefdom?"
Xia Jie, whose head was a little dizzy and was considering whether to force out the drunkenness, was shocked. It had only been a few days since he went to be the governor of central China? There were more than 300 dojos? What if every dojo had security guards?
With the Sanqing outside the city on such a scale, wouldn’t it mean that there are now millions of disciples admitted into the sect? The speed of this development is so fast and scary!
With a slight flick of his fingers, Taoist Tongtian glanced sideways at Yi Yin, who returned to the room and knelt respectfully beside him, and said with a smile, "Well, does Shang Tang have something to say?"
Shang Tang bowed to Taoist Tongtian and said, "Tang is bold, please come to our Shang tribe's territory and open a Taoist temple in our Shang tribe's territory. Our Shang tribe is willing to enshrine you and spread the great religion."
Taoist Tongtian's eyes lit up. He glanced at Xia Jie. Xia Jie was also stunned by the pie falling from the sky. He couldn't help showing an excited smile. The Shang clan is the strongest among the Daxia clan.
A powerful clan with a very vast territory and a large number of people, at least equivalent to the size of hundreds of Goddess Lake fiefdoms. If the Shang clan is willing to worship Taoist Tongtian, this will be a big problem for Taoist Tongtian who wants to spread Taoist teachings.
Words are a great temptation.
Using his spiritual consciousness, he explained the situation of the Shang clan to Taoist Tongtian. Taoist Tongtian smiled slightly, put on an extremely majestic and graceful look, and said solemnly: "Why?"
Shang Tang just kept kowtowing to Taoist Tongtian, but Yi Yin on the side raised his head and said with a sad tone: "No one else, please protect yourself. Please be merciful, sir!"
Yi Yin, who was crying, told the story one by one. However, the Shang tribe is located at the junction of Daxia, Dongyi, and the Southern Barbarians. Although it is a tribe of Daxia, it has always been the tribe of Dongyi and the Southern Barbarians.
The object of robbery and plunder. Every year, the Shang people have to pay a lot of taxes and livestock as tribute to Daxia. However, Daxia has not fulfilled its protective obligations as the suzerain. The last time the Dongyi people invaded the Shang people, if the Shang people had not happened to
After discovering the original jade mine and dedicating it to Daxia, how could the former King of Xia send Lu Gui and the private armies of the four major witch families to rescue the Shang clan?
In this decisive battle between Daxia and the Hai people, although the Dongyi people were surrendered to Daxia's doomsday fortress and annihilated a large number of their elite forces, and the southern barbarians were almost completely wiped out in the Hai people's territory. But compared to the Shang people, the Dongyi and
The Nanman were still an unmatched behemoth. What's more, the Shang tribe sent a large number of tribesmen to follow Lu Gui on the expedition, and there were also a lot of casualties.
After the war, both the Dongyi people and the people of the southern barbarian countries needed to recuperate and recuperate. In this era, with this kind of social productivity, what do you rely on to recuperate and recuperate? Give birth to children, work hard to have children, have more children, the more you will have
The better! To have a baby, you need a lot of food and as many women as possible.
That's it for the Dongyi people. They have vast pastures and countless livestock groups. But what about the barbarian countries in the south?
Hearing this, Xia Jie's face couldn't help but blush slightly. The productivity of the southern barbarian countries was indeed a little primitive. He pulled Taoist Tongtian's sleeves and said with a wry smile: "Master, my disciple also knows.
After this battle, since Pan Geng has been returned to Chiyou Mountain City by the king, in order to recover as soon as possible, the barbarian country can only send out troops to plunder everywhere."
Glancing sympathetically at Shang Tang who was kowtowing his head and Yi Yin with a sad face, Xia Jie couldn't bear to say: "I was just taught a lesson by Da Xia and swore a blood oath before being let back."
Pan Geng will definitely not come to provoke Daxia. Then, he can only plunder the tribes and countries of Daxia in the south. The Shang clan has weak military force, but is extremely rich, making them the best targets for looting!
"
Not only did they rob food and livestock, but they also robbed women. This is what the Chihu clan did back then, and this has always been done by all the large and small forces around Daxia.
Seeing that Taoist Tongtian kept a straight face and remained silent, Yi Yin thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Sir, Yi Yin has heard that the Tao taught by Mr. Tongtian can allow ordinary people to have magical powers. If Mr. Meng, the Shang clan, opens the
The Taoist temple teaches the Tao, so it has the power to protect itself." Yi Yin also knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Taoist Tongtian and begged, with tears pouring down his eyes.
Taoist Tongtian closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then asked slowly: "Is it possible that there are no masters in your Shang clan?"
Shang Tang finally spoke: "The laws of Daxia stipulate the number of great witches in the country and clan. Our Shang clan is a top-ranking clan among the Daxia clans, and can have up to eighteen Jiuding great witches. Facing Dongyi, Nanman
How can you resist the intrusion of the He clan?" He raised his head, smiled bitterly at Xia Jie and said, "Do you still remember Meng Tianhou? The day you and I first met, Shang Tang went to hire those spirits to do things in our clan.
The guards. However, the Dongyi people are so powerful that in a small invasion, tens of thousands of hired spirits were completely killed!"
Xia Jie could only rely on hiring spirits to protect his territory. Xia Jie couldn't help but look at Taoist Tongtian. Although Xia Jie still had some small murmurs in his heart, what Shang Tang said was indeed pitiful. The territory of the Shang clan was really too big.
They are a bit unlucky. To the east are Dongyi and to the south are barbarians. Compared to other vassal countries that have no border concerns, the Shang people are really unlucky.
Taoist Tongtian finally slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I'll just go to your Shang clan for a visit. But, Shangtang, you..." He nodded with a half-smile, Taoist Tongtian said lightly.
Said: "But is there anything else to say?"
Shang Tang was speechless, with a very strange expression on his face, as if he was very happy but unable to express his joy. He seemed to be severely suppressed by Taoist Tongtian's last words.
However, Yi Yin suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Of course, my master still has something to ask for. If you, sir, can help my master take over the power of the Shang clan, then the Shang clan will only accept your fate.
from."
Taoist Tongtian smiled. He admired Yi Yin's courage and straightforwardness. He smiled and said, "Okay, Taoist Taoist likes people who tell the truth."
Xia Jie looked at Shang Tang with admiration and admiration. He dared to play tricks in front of Taoist Tongtian. Shang Tang and Yi Yin were indeed bold. However, he admired Yi Yin even more. As expected of Yi Yin, he actually
I heard the implication from Taoist Tongtian's words, and he was able to confess everything immediately. He is really a person of interest. Who said that people without witchcraft can't achieve great things?
Woolen cloth?
At this time, the two unlucky guys who were captured by Taoist Tongtian struggled for so long and finally regained their breath. One of them roared, and his body suddenly swelled like a ball, and he fiercely rushed towards Taoist Tongtian, holding his waist with both hands.
He turned to Taoist Tongtian. The other person let out a mournful hiss, and his body turned into a streak of blood and fled quickly.
The man hugging Taoist Tongtian shouted wildly: "Let's die together." As soon as he finished speaking, his body exploded like a heavy cannonball.
"Let's die together? The poor Taoist hasn't lived enough yet!" He smiled sarcastically, Taoist Tongtian waved his sleeves, and the self-destructing witch was blown far away by a strong wind, and "boomed" high in the sky.
It exploded completely. He grabbed the void with his right palm, and directly grabbed the void with one claw, grabbing back Wu Lingkong who had turned into blood and escaped.
"The poor Taoist's name is Tongtian. Even if you run away to heaven and hell, no one will dare to save you even if the poor Taoist wants to arrest you!" Taoist Tongtian pinched the great witch's neck fiercely and shouted loudly:
"Who sent you to follow Pindao's good disciple? Tell me honestly, Pindao will leave a trace of your soul to be reincarnated! Otherwise, it will be wiped out, and Pindao can still find out with the soul search method!"
The Taoist Wu Chao Tongtian sneered several times with disdain, and said gloomily: "How to search for souls? If the soul is gone, how can you search for it?"
The last few words spurted out from the gaps between his teeth like ice slag. A strange green flame came out of his pores. There was no heat at all, but it gave people a great sense of threat. At the same time,
, an extremely powerful force spurted out from the body of the great witch, and all the power poured into his arms, and his arms turned into two pillars of blood-red flesh about a foot thick and translucent, fiercely
He blasted towards Taoist Tongtian who was very close at hand.
Sacrifice the soul. When the great witch is desperate and fighting for his life, he burns his soul and sacrifices it to the evil god in exchange for powerful power in order to finally kill the enemy. If the great witch who launches the soul sacrifice is powerful enough, for example, a great witch at the peak of Jiuding, he can even summon some of them.
Possession by the evil god.
The great witch in front of him obviously possesses extremely powerful power, reaching the peak of the Eight Cauldrons. Especially when the Soul Sacrifice was activated, a few streaks of black energy came out of a jade gourd around his waist, which were several wisps of the great witch's power.
The ghost was also ignited by the green flames coming out of his body and joined the ranks of sacrifices. As a result, the power of the evil god he could summon became even more powerful.
It's a pity that he is facing Taoist Tongtian - the Lord of Jiejiao!
With a sneer, he casually pointed his finger at the center of the great witch's eyebrows, and the flames coming out of the great witch's body were instantly extinguished. At the same time, Taoist Tongtian grabbed the void above the great witch's head with his right palm, and a huge gap suddenly opened in the void.
He reached into the dark gap and scolded coldly: "Dare you attack me? Leave something behind!"
The eyes of Shang Tang and Yi Yin almost popped out of their eyes - Taoist Tongtian pulled out a huge arm from the gap, five golden lights emitted from his five fingers, and he clasped the big hand, which was about ten feet thick.
The arm was dragged out by force. Panic screams came from the crack, but Taoist Tongtian completely dragged the arm out without changing his expression. Then he waved his right palm, and a bright handle appeared on his hand.
The sword struck down hard. An arm more than ten feet long fell down with a bang, smashing the hut to pieces.
"God? Pig dog!" Taoist Tongtian fiercely grabbed a wine jar on the ground and slammed it into the gap. The sound of the wine jar breaking was clear and sweet, and then the space gap quickly closed.
Shang Tang stammered and pointed at the huge arm on the ground and shouted: "Mr. Tongtian, this, this is the arm of the god of heaven!"
Taoist Tongtian raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "God? Ten thousand years ago, I killed many people. God? Humph!" He suddenly lowered his voice and muttered in a low voice: "If it weren't for the leader of this sect, there are still people in charge.
Wait, how can we allow that guy to escape today? Humph, it is already rare for someone to dare to follow my disciple. That guy actually dares to help the person who is following my disciple. I really don’t know what the word death is.
Write."
After a fierce attack, Taoist Tongtian grabbed the great witch who was almost strangled to death by him, shook it violently for a while, and shouted loudly: "Tell me quickly, who asked you to follow Xia Jie? I am here!
With my heavenly heart, I don’t want to commit more sins of killing, but I am determined to let your remaining soul reincarnate.”
The shining sword pointed at the great witch's neck for a while, and Taoist Tongtian said coldly: "If you still don't know whether to live or die, don't blame the poor Taoist!"
After coughing lightly, Xia Jie pulled Taoist Tongtian's arm and said with a bitter smile: "Master, you are strangling him to death, how can he speak?"
Taoist Tongtian was stunned for a moment, laughed "hehe" a few times, threw the big witch to the ground, and cursed in a low voice: "If I let you live, you will not die; if I want you to die, within the Three Realms
No one can save you except one person! Tell me quickly, are you going to be reincarnated, or are you going to lose your soul after being searched for your soul?"
The great shaman hissed and angrily made a wise choice. He pointed at Taoist Tongtian and shouted sternly: "Okay, if you dare to kill the secret guard of the Ansi, you, you, just wait until the clan is exterminated!" After that,
He closed his eyes and said very bachelorly: "I am a member of the secret guard of the An Division. Who asked me to follow Meng Tianhou? You don't need me to tell you?"
"Extermination of the clan? Haha! Extermination of the clan? Haha!" Taoist Tongtian laughed a few times, raised his sword and slashed the great witch to death with one strike. With a casual finger, he saw a soul wrapped in a spiritual light.
He ran downstairs.
Shaking his head, Taoist Tongtian said to Xia Jie with a smile: "Disciple, it seems that you still have to be careful recently! However, you have had some near misses recently, but Master is not worried about anything."
Patting Xia Jie's shoulder affectionately, Taoist Tongtian smiled and said to Shang Tang: "Shang Tang, I will go with you to join the Shang clan. Let's leave now!"
Taoist Tongtian couldn't wait to swallow this fat piece of Shang clan first, so as to avoid having two more senior brothers come to compete with him for the dojo and disciples. He didn't even bother to know that Guangchengzi and Duobao were preaching in the Goddess Lake fiefdom.
Taoist and other juniors will have to go to the Shang clan alone to do business.
Shang Tang naturally agreed with all his heart. Only Xia Jie frowned a little worriedly and said: "People from the Secret Guard of the An Division? Why are Lu Gui sending people to watch me? Will I still rebel?"
Shaking his head in confusion, Xia Jie knelt down on the ground and bowed to send Taoist Tongtian off to the south with Shang Tang.
Standing up, the east had already revealed a piece of fish belly white, but there were still a few dark clouds in the sky, scattering small drops of water. Xia Jie picked up the freshly baked god's arm and ran towards Wushan...
