Chapter 217: Riding the tiger away from the mountain
Xia Hou understood that at that time, it would not be a matter of whether he wanted to die or not.
Not only Ning Que wanted to die, Xiling and the court also wanted to die.
In particular, Princess Li Yu will definitely add fuel to the flames.
Xia Hou knew that when everyone wanted him to die, he would have no way to survive no matter what, unless he could get the exquisite box in Tang's hand.
When he attacked Ning Que, he had paid attention to the box in Tang's hand. The aura inside made him fearful and friendly at the same time. He thought that only things like the Book of Heaven in this world could have such an aura.
At the same time, it is also Xiahou's only way to survive. Only after obtaining the Heavenly Book and the Mingzi Scroll, can Xiahou transcend the five realms and reach the Heavenly Demon Realm to transcend the world.
At that time, his life and death will be truly in his own hands.
In fact, Xia Hou once had the opportunity to read Zhishou Guan's Heavenly Book after he became a guest in Xiling. It is indeed mysterious and extraordinary, and its help to the realm is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
So the Mingzi Scroll of the Book of Heaven, which once enabled the first person, the Great Priest Guangming, to create the Ming Zong and create the Ming Zong Kung Fu, was definitely the most suitable for Xia Hou who practiced the Ming Zong Kung Fu.
At that time, he also had the idea of snatching the Heavenly Book, but there were many powerful people who knew their destiny present, and Xiahou knew that he would not be able to snatch the Heavenly Book in the hands of everyone.
Therefore, Xiahou could only settle for the next best thing and choose to get rid of the hidden danger of Ning Que in advance.
It's just that he didn't expect that the college's senior gentleman would actually be here.
Then, Xia Hou suddenly looked outside the big tent. He was suddenly curious about who could let Mr. Da pull the cart!
If the master comes, Mr. Da will definitely not let the master suffer in the carriage, but will respectfully invite the master back to the tent. If this is the case, then the person in the carriage will definitely not be the master, so who can it be?
Woolen cloth?
Xia Hou didn't ask, because when he looked outside, he could feel the pressure coming from Mr. Da getting stronger and stronger, obviously warning himself not to explore things he shouldn't know.
He knew that many people in this world died because they knew too much. He himself had ordered the killing of such people, so of course he would not make mistakes in such matters.
Instead, he quickly shifted his attention and said:
"Since Mr. Da has said so, then I will retire! After the autumn harvest this year, I will go to the Central Government to resign and retire!"
Li slowly frowned and said:
"too late!"
Xiahou took a deep look in the direction of the wasteland and said:
"I still need to stay here to find a good way out for those who follow me, and at the same time, I also need to keep an eye on this war!"
Li slowly heard this and asked again:
"Do you have to focus on this war?"
Xiahou slowly said:
"After all, I was once a deserted man."
Xiahou did not continue, but Li slowly understood what Xiahou meant.
This is indeed the case for some people. Although they have no choice but to struggle in this world and put shackles on themselves, they cannot forget their roots!
Therefore, when Xiahou knew that he was about to die, he finally picked up his longing for the deserted people and his hometown, and wanted to do something for the deserted people.
As long as Xiahou is here, leading the army of the Tang Dynasty, even if the Xiling Allied Army defeats the Huangren, they will not do anything too excessive to the Huangren.
After all, they also need to consider the threat of hundreds of thousands of troops from the Tang Empire.
Li slowly took a deep look at Xia Hou, then left the tent with Ning Que, and continued to work as his coachman.
Zhuoer, on the other hand, led the Taoist puppet army to escort everyone towards the Tang Dynasty.
······
In the wilderness, two figures, one black and one white, were running and jumping rapidly in the forest. Each figure jumped several feet high, and every time it fell to the ground, it trembled slightly. The other, slightly smaller white figure was
It flickered in the forest, and every time it appeared, it was always next to a black figure, and only the afterimages could be seen.
However, a young monk suddenly appeared in front of him, staring closely at the two running people.
His appearance immediately caused the two figures to stop and look at him warily.
The monk was dressed in simple robes and did not speak after he appeared, just looking at the two of them.
And these two figures, black and white, are brother and sister Tang and Tang Xiaotang.
Tang Jie opened his mouth and said:
"I didn't expect that instead of pursuing the team that was about to leave the wasteland, the Buddha Sect would end up here instead!"
It turns out that the monk came from Qinian Temple.
Qi Nian still didn't speak, but stared at Tang, or rather the exquisite box in Tang's arms.
In that box, Qi Nian also felt an aura that made him fearful yet kind.
Being afraid of its power and being kind to it seems to be filled with the breath of Buddhism.
Qi Nian secretly thought:
"I once heard that all the laws of Haotian's world are recorded in the scroll of the Book of Heaven. It seems that Buddhism is also among them."
Obviously, Qi Nian came all the way from the Hanging Temple in the far north of the wasteland for the Heavenly Book that was born in the Demon Sect's mountain gate.
In his mind, Mr. Da from the Academy appeared at the Demon Sect Mountain Gate just for the Book of Heaven's Mingzi Scroll. It was just because Ke Haoran and Jian Xiaoxiao also came out of it at that time, so Mr. Da had no choice but to give up the Book of Heaven and protect Ke Haoran and the others.
People return to the academy.
"Hahaha, Qi Nian practiced closed-mouthed meditation thirteen years ago, so he won't answer you! You were also present at the time, weren't you? Tang!"
A clear voice appeared behind Tang. From his voice and words, he immediately guessed the identity of this person:
"The Taoist Zhi Shou observes the world and walks in the world Ye Su!"
He was wary of Qi Nian in front of him, then turned sideways and looked at Ye Su behind him and said.
I saw Ye Su wearing a simple green Taoist robe, carrying a wooden sword on his back, looking at his brother, sister and Qi Nian indifferently.
And the moment Ye Su looked over, Tang Xiaotang's divinity merged with the surrounding world and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
It is the "dark dispersion" in "Shadow Burning Holy Technique".
Tang Xiaotang knew that he was no match for the two of them, and that he might become his brother's weakness here, so he disappeared directly. Although he could not completely escape from the two people's thoughts this way, he would not be locked in instantly.
beat.
Seeing this, Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his body suddenly rose up, pressing towards Qi Nian and Ye Su.
Ye Su looked at the two brothers and sisters working together, and couldn't help but feel stunned, thinking of his sister who was watching Zhi Shou.
"It would be great if the two of us could work together like them."
Ye Su couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.
Tang suddenly smiled and said:
"Why are you two here?"
As he said this, a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Tang's mouth.
Ye Su also looked at the box in Tang's arms and said:
"The Great Priest of the Heavenly Mandate once predicted that the Heavenly Book would appear in the wilderness. I don't need to tell you what's in this box that is so precious to you, the Demon Sect, that you can walk around the world!
It's a pity that my sister was not snatched from your hands at that time, but with the college master here, it is excusable!"
Tang asked with a strange look:
"Have you met your sister?"
Ye Su shook his head in surprise and then said:
"The wasteland is vast. Ye Hongyu is devoted to cultivating Taoism and doesn't want to get involved in these things. Naturally, I don't want to disturb her..."
