"Evil Lord" Guan Ying once escaped from the National Master and the Demon Queen respectively, and also defeated the Ghost King, Jue Dao, and Ruyi Monk together to be undefeated, which shows his strength!
The bitter wind naturally brought bitter rain. The autumn rain gradually began to fall outside the mountain temple, and the night became darker.
Lu Zhongqi did not mention rushing to the capital at night, because in such an environment, it is easy to be attacked when walking at night, and there will be no time to rescue him. It is better to stick to the mountain temple.
The wind was heavy and the rain was coming, making the tiles crackle, adding to the feeling of silence in the dead of night.
At this time, the windows on all sides were suddenly knocked open, and five or six figures jumped in.
Just as they were about to take action, they saw Shang Yi sitting cross-legged next to the fire, motionless as a clock, with a black black bird on his shoulder staring at them coldly, which made several people feel cold in their hearts.
The attacker was stunned and looked around subconsciously. He saw five corpses lying in a staggered position near the gate of the mountain temple.
One of them was tall, with a rough face, wide eyes, and a dead look. The other four looked exactly the same, and they were neatly dressed, as if they had never fought before. Only the center of their eyebrows was a little red, which was a sword wound, killing them with one blow!
These people looked away in fear and looked at Shang Yi, who attracted the most attention in the ruined temple.
"escape!"
These people shouted in unison and jumped out just as they came, but without their murderous aura and agility, they looked embarrassed and panicked.
The temple became quiet again. This time, Lu Zhongqi, Taoist Hu and others relaxed a lot. The sound of Ruan Yushu's guqin also changed, and the gurgling water moved the clear sky. Lu Guan simply picked up the book of war and read it carefully by the light of the fire.
.
Another group of people came outside. They saw the broken windows and doors, and felt that there was no movement inside. They were shocked and did not dare to act rashly. They quietly came to the window and looked inside.
When they saw this, they were startled. Lu Guan and his party seemed to be taking a leisurely outing, without the panic and nervousness of being chased and intercepted.
They swallowed and carefully looked at the situation inside the ruined temple.
Suddenly, their eyes froze, their pupils shrank, and they said in silence: "Sword General!"
"The four evil men of the Zheng family!"
After a short silence, many people turned around and left without looking back. Even the four murderers of the Zheng family died here. Who dares to take action?
There are still a few bolder ones left. They feel a little weird. Since the people inside can kill the four murderers of the Zheng family, why don't they come out and kill themselves and others? Is there something fishy? The one who killed the four murderers of the Zheng family is not
They have already left, so they only dare to scare people but dare not actually take action?
Someone mustered up the courage, climbed up to the roof, found the right spot, broke the tiles and wooden beams, and struck down in the air!
The other few people quickly turned around and looked inside. Once they showed their weakness, they immediately took action themselves.
ah!
The few people only saw the young man with a black bird on his shoulder waved his hand, and a cold light flew out from his sleeves and pierced the eyebrows of the attacker. The next moment, it flew around the temple and returned to the young man's hand. It was a
A flying sword with a handle the size of an index finger.
This is because Shang Yi deliberately slowed down the flying sword to scare them, and also told the people behind them to send out their masters.
They turned and left one by one in silence.
After that, several more waves of people came, but no one dared to enter the mountain temple anymore. They all just watched for a while and then left silently, coming in and out in the rain!
After the rain and clouds dispersed and the sky gradually became brighter, Shang Yi stood up slowly and said calmly:
"It's time to go."
Although Shang Yi acted faster than Meng Qi, he still followed the spiritual prompts and continued the original plot like Meng Qi.
In fact, he understood that this was probably a script designed by Emperor Fengdu. He wanted to use this to observe and understand himself, and at the same time, he wanted to find out from himself the whereabouts of Moro Tawo who was hidden in the Nine Netherworld.
Peishui, the long river on which the capital city depends for its survival, has rolling water and cascading sail shadows, making it very lively.
"I haven't seen you in nine years. The capital is as prosperous as yesterday." Lu Guan half sighed and half sighed.
"If the Western captives go south and such a prosperous scene will no longer exist, please ask Marshal Lu to take care of the health of the people and the world." Taoist Hu said sincerely.
He glanced at Shang Yi and sighed:
"Little friend Huai Kong, although I don't know your origins, this matter is entirely due to the help of you and Miss Ruan. Everyone in the world is afraid of the power of spies and the masters around them. Only you are responsible for your righteousness. Although I can't do it for you, I can't help you."
All the people in the world can thank you on their behalf."
Lu Guan nodded lightly: "Heroes come from young, and Lu will bear in mind the kindness of these two little friends. I hope that I can repay you in the future."
"We are doing it for justice, not for personal favors. If Commander Lu can defeat the Xilu, it will be the best reward for us."
Shang Yi spoke Meng Qi's lines in the original work.
Lu Guan nodded solemnly: "It is Lu's lifelong ambition to expel the Western captives and eliminate future troubles forever."
With the capital in sight, pride and pressure suddenly arose in his heart. After boarding the boat, he remained silent, watching the rushing river and the crowds of people on the shore.
"Compared with the capital city, Yuexi is like a place on earth or in the sky." Lu Zhongqi obviously relaxed a lot. After crossing Pei River and reaching the other side, he could find the inn and take out the imperial edict. By then, the danger would be over.
So he was in the mood to admire both sides of the Pei River and the outline of the capital.
Taoist Hu chuckled and said, "I don't have any feelings about this. I just miss the number one scholar in Desheng Tower. Tsk, just thinking about it makes the wine bug in my stomach start to roll."
Along the way, he had actually refrained from drinking because he was afraid of causing trouble.
Shang Yi felt the river breeze and nodded slightly. The capital here is indeed larger and more prosperous than Xuanwu, but there are obviously fewer heroes with swords. Scholars and ladies are walking under the willows on both sides of the bank.
A large boat went down the river and passed in front of the ferry boat with five people sitting on it. Shadows shrouded it, as if the sky had darkened.
Suddenly, a figure rushed over from the building, moving very fast, with almost an afterimage remaining.
His sleeves were spread out and fluttering in the wind, like a goshawk fighting a rabbit. They perfectly formed a whole with the rolling river water, the slowly descending building boat, and the shadow between the two boats. Regardless of the angle or posture,
It was extremely harmonious, as if it was taking the surrounding world with a palm, making Ruan Yushu on the side feel as if he was being rejected by buildings, boats, rivers, and shadows. It seemed that the world was so big that there was no place for him.
The attacker slapped it with his palm, but it seemed that he didn't use any force. It was empty and empty, and it became bigger and bigger, making people extremely uncomfortable.
Shang Yi pointed out a finger with a smile on his face. This finger seemed to contain endless Zen thoughts, pointing deep into the heart of the attacker.
"Pick your fingers!"
Ruan Yushu's red lips parted slightly, and she looked at Shang Yi in surprise.
But considering that this is a Buddhist disciple who has inherited the inheritance of the Buddha, the King of Freedom in the World, I think he knows a lot about Buddhist martial arts!
Nianhua pointed at the attacker, who was slightly stagnant in the air. He wanted to change his palm skills, but he saw the smile on the corner of Shang Yi's mouth in a trance, and fell into the peace deep in his heart, as if he was about to be saved.
Shang Yi's Buddhist realm and spiritual power are so powerful that even if the person coming is an evil king, it is still difficult to resist Shang Yi's finger-twisting skills.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Evil Lord was like a moth flying into a flame. He hit Shang Yi with a casual finger and immediately lost the slightest breath of life.
There was no time to use it.
"Plop~~~"
The sound of Evil Lord Guan Yingde's body falling on the deck made the others react and looked at the middle-aged scholar with slightly white temples and a wide-banded Confucian robe.
A sense of chill and joy arose in the hearts of the Hu Taoists, followed by an unparalleled shock.
Who would have thought that the evil king, who could defeat the Ghost King, Jue Sword, and the Ruyi Monk, would die so easily in the hands of the "Sword Immortal" Huai Kong today.
"The Evil Lord Guan should be conferred, and the spread of the Immortal Seal is cut off. The third side task is completed, and three hundred good deeds are rewarded. The "Immortal Seal" was taken from the Evil Lord's arms, and cannot be exchanged for good deeds, nor can it be taught to others."
The ferry arrived, and the five of them stepped onto the pier and headed to the inn.
Under the arrangements of the inn officials, iron cavalry escorted him into Beijing soon.
Not long after, a group of people arrived outside the city. Shang Yi looked at the tall city gate and smiled slightly. He had already sensed Meng Qi's aura in the city. It was obvious that Meng Qi had entered the capital one step ahead of them, and he might have also broken out.
The name "Shocking Sword" has come.
"Successfully escorted Lu Guan to Beijing. Once the main mission is completed, each person will be rewarded with two hundred good deeds. After settling in, go to Xiaoxiang Tower, meet up with Meng Qi and his party, and start the second main mission."
The majestic and solemn voice of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded in the hearts of Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu.
In an elegant mansion, a very good-looking old man looked at the person in front of him in shock: "Did Lu Guan enter the capital alive?"
"Forgive me, Prime Minister. I really didn't expect that Lu Guan would have a master as good as the Ghost King beside him." Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the man in front of him.
"Which master is it? Didn't you say that Evil Lord also took action?" The old man calmed down.
The person who reported the report shook his head: "The evil king was killed. The master was very scary and very young. He was called the 'Sword Immortal' Huai Kong."
"Sword Immortal!?"
The old man repeated the name.
In the courtyard filled with the fragrance of flowers, a graceful veiled woman suddenly stood up: "Is Lu Guan not dead?"
"Yes, it is rumored that Evil Lord took action himself, but was easily killed because he had a very strong master beside him, who is said to be the 'Sword Immortal Sword' Huai Kong."
The woman who reported the report was a little scared and a little disdainful when she talked about the evil king.
"Hmph, isn't he known as the best in the world in immortal sealing techniques...'Sword Immortal'..."
The veiled woman paced back and forth.
In the Star Observation Tower, a white-haired old man looked at the astrolabe in front of him, frowned and said to his disciples:
"Obviously Lu Guan was going to die, so why did a meteor pass by and change the traces?"
"Disciple doesn't know." His disciple couldn't understand it at all.
The white-haired old man whispered to himself: "The Sword Immortal is empty-handed..."'
After entering the city and the post house, Lu Guan waited for the emperor's summons, while Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu found an excuse to visit their old friends and went to the street together.
On the way, Ruan Yushu said something casually:
"That was finger-twisting just now!?"
Shang Yi nodded and said:
"Yes, in a world of reincarnation, I learned it from an old monk who was half-stepping on location. In addition, I have already understood the third form of "Tathagata Divine Palm" - "Nianhua Finger".
Its power is even stronger than that of Shaolin Temple in the real world!"
Ruan Yushu took a deep look at Shang Yi and said:
"He is worthy of being a 'Son of Buddha'."
The streets of the capital intersect in a chessboard shape. The Xiaoxiang Tower is far away from the post house. However, Shang Yi can see the location of Meng Qi and others with his clairvoyance, so he does not need to ask for directions. He takes Ruan Yushu and spends a cup of tea to get there.
Xiaoxiang Tower.
"The reputation of the Sword Immortal has spread throughout the capital, and there are really no empty warriors under this great reputation."
He and Ge Huaien stood by the steps of the restaurant, as if they were waiting for them.
Immediately, Meng Qi said:
"There are many people here, let's talk after we get in."
Shang Yi nodded and silently followed Meng Qi and Ge Huaien through the lobby of the restaurant, across the small bridge and flowing water, and arrived at an elegant and quiet courtyard at the back.
"As soon as you entered the city, I received a reminder from the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation."
After closing the door and carefully checking the surroundings, Meng Qi opened his mouth to explain.
This is how collaborative tasks should be…
At this moment, the cold and distant voice of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded again:
"The second main mission begins. Help Lu Guan regain the emperor's trust and command his troops. If successful, he will be rewarded with 400 good deeds. If he fails, the corresponding good deeds will be deducted."
"Regain the emperor's trust..."
Shang Yi's expression remained unchanged, while Ruan Yushu frowned slightly and looked at Meng Qi:
"Xiao Meng, your main line 'Mission One' should be related to this, right?"
Meng Qi nodded and pointed to the table full of food and wine: "Let's talk while we eat."
Ruan Yushu seemed to be impatient, completely forgetting that he had just asked Meng Qi, and already picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating elegantly.
"The Western Pirates were victorious. They stationed troops in the upper reaches of the Pei River and sent envoys to negotiate. The conditions were harsh. The emperor was so angry that he suffered a stroke and fell into a coma."
Meng Qi said calmly:
"Our main task one is to gain the trust of a certain prince and temporarily prevent the peace talks. Now it seems that if we can help the prince we support ascend to the throne, main task two can be successfully completed."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shang Yi smiled slightly and said:
"Who do you support?"
Meng Qi smiled slightly when he heard this and said:
"We now support the fourth prince. Although he is the main militant, he can also see the situation clearly. He helped us temporarily stop the peace talks when Lu Guan did not arrive, and completed the main task one!
Moreover, after I created a reputation as the ‘Shocking Sword’ in the capital, the Sword Emperor came to test me. He is the fourth prince’s teacher, and he wanted to exchange swordsmanship with me and use him to meet the fourth prince!”
Shang Yi smiled and said:
"Where are the other princes?"
"The prince is the orthodox one. He has the national master, the Ruyi monk, and many courtiers behind him. The fourth prince is a disciple of the Sword Emperor and is quite popular in the world. There are many important officials in the court who secretly communicate with him. The seventh prince is the most trusted by the emperor.
, full of poems and books, skilled in bow and horse, but has no foundation in the world of martial arts. Originally, the Left Chancellor of the Political Hall wanted to belong to him because of his relationship with the emperor, but now that the emperor is in coma, I don’t know if there is a chance to wake up, and he has alienated him again. "
"However, now he seems to know his shortcomings. He knows how to communicate with courtiers and secretly recruits masters. I suspect that the Queen has secretly entered the capital and is living in the Seventh Prince's Mansion."
"The Sword Emperor's strength is definitely half a step outside. If there are no masters in the imperial city or court, this kind of character can completely influence the political situation, and anyone who refuses to accept it can be assassinated."
"However, the Confucianism of this family is strong, and there are countless rituals, music, and imperial books. Those who can be called great Confucians are not weak, such as the Right Prime Minister Wang Derang, the "Reincarnation Star King", and the half-Confucian and half-Taoist Imperial Master.
Master Changle, they all insist on distinguishing the elder and the younger, reject heretics, and despise those who abuse force. If they want to assassinate the emperor and the prince, even the Demon Queen and the Sword Emperor have to plan for a long time to find an opportunity."
Shang Yi nodded when he heard this and said:
"It seems that the prince is now the most powerful and has the best chance of succeeding to the throne!"
Meng Qi smiled confidently:
"The emperor has been in office for many years, and as he gets older, he is wary of the prince. He is very unhappy and suppresses him repeatedly. If it were not for the protection of the imperial master, I am afraid that the prince would have been deposed. Therefore, if there is an emperor's decree, the same goes for other princes.
There is a possibility of ascending to the throne, but after the emperor fell into a coma, the right minister, who was always loyal to the emperor, stayed in the Taiji Hall at night, not giving anyone a chance to tamper with the will."
Shang Yi sighed and said:
"It seems that I may not be able to wait until the time for the imperial edict to be read out smoothly.
The prince is not stupid. He knows that the emperor will not pass the throne to him, so he can only take it by himself! Maybe the prince is already planning to kill the king and seize the throne!"
Meng Qi was shocked when he heard this and said:
"Why didn't I think of this level!?"
Ruan Yushu swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a smile:
"Isn't this our opportunity? Once the prince kills the king, we will have reason to support the fourth prince in seizing the throne! Then it won't matter what the edict is! Even if the Imperial Master and the others want to support the prince, they can't!"
Shang Yi nodded:
"That's right! So during this period, our focus should not only be on the fourth prince, but we should also pay close attention to the palace, lest we don't know about the emperor's death and be at a disadvantage!
Although our force is very powerful, it is difficult to convince the public with force alone, and it will inevitably come to nothing!"
