During this period, because Li Xiao was in charge of Wushuang City, many small sects and sects in the world took this opportunity to submit and pledged their loyalty, and the strength of Wushuang City also increased rapidly.
At the same time, Li Xiao took the century-old rare wild ginseng, and after completely refining the medicinal power, his energy became much more abundant, and his cultivation level increased slightly, and he gradually felt like a master.
The threshold of realm.
On this day, when Li Xiao and Dugu Ming were discussing important matters in the city in the Wushuang Hall, a disciple suddenly came to report in a hurry.
"Reporting to the Lord of the City, someone discovered dozens of strange-looking long wooden tubes on the banks of Songqing Lake."
"A long wooden tube? What is that? Isn't it a ship or something?" Dugu Ming, whose thoughts were interrupted, raised his head and was stunned.
"It doesn't look like a ship. Its shape is very weird. I don't know what it is." The disciple replied.
Li Xiao couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
"Report, Lord City Lord, there is a group of men and horses with bad intentions and menace. They have already arrived at the city. It seems they should be from Tianmen!" As soon as he finished speaking, another spy came to report.
"What, the people from Tianmen are here? How can they arrive at Wushuang City without any trouble!" Dugu Ming took a breath, slapped the armrest, and stood up from the purple sandalwood chair, his wide eyes filled with emotion.
A look of astonishment.
You must know that in ancient times, the north was respected, and Emperor Shitian claimed to be a god. At the same time, he also needed cold air to delay the aging of his face, so he set up the Tianmen in the cold land of the extreme north. From there to Wushuang City, it is at least tens of thousands of miles away.
One kilometer, even for the fastest horses, would take at least ten days without sleep.
"Yes... the other party is like a ghost, without any warning, just like... appearing out of thin air under Wushuang City."
"Let's go and have a look!" The spies' panicked expression didn't look like they were lying, but Dugu Ming was still in disbelief and hurriedly walked towards the city wall! He had to see to believe.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiao also restrained his thoughts and followed quickly.
…
…
Li Xiao came to the city wall.
I saw the hunting wind blowing, flags fluttering, and a group of guards wearing armor, holding spears, or carrying bows and arrows. They flashed a cold light in the sun. From a distance, you can feel the chilling atmosphere of the golden sword.
Be angry and be ready.
The ancestor of Wushuang City is Wushuang General Pan Feng. As a general under Han Fu, Pan Feng is full of military skills and is good at conquering and fighting. His descendants have also inherited his advantages. Even today, these soldiers
Even if he is dragged to the battlefield, he will not lose to those brave soldiers.
After receiving the notification, Duan Lang came to the city wall first. Through the two battlements, he looked at the Tianmen forces below the city with a dignified look in his eyes.
Li Xiao followed his gaze and looked from a distance, and saw many people in martial arts wearing various military uniforms standing in front of Wushuang City. They were densely packed with no less than tens of thousands of people. They were vast and quite impressive.
The momentum, at this time, the several leaders headed by them were shouting arrogantly at the city gate.
And at the very front stood a few people in black robes. Judging from their aura and the respectful gazes of others, it was enough to show that their identities were much higher. They were probably the masters of Tianmen. All the masters.
In the middle is a large Kowloon sedan. Under a huge round parasol, Emperor Shakti is wearing an ice sculpture mask, covering the expression on his face. He is lying lazily in the luxurious sedan. Next to him,
The maid would bring peeled oranges to his mouth from time to time, serving them carefully.
…
…
"Is that person Emperor Shitian... But why do thousands of disciples in this Tianmen appear out of thin air? Is it true that the magical weapons in myths and legends cannot descend from the sky?!"
Dugu Ming's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and he felt a little dazed. This reminded him of the heavenly soldiers in the mythical story "Journey to the West" that is widely circulated in China. Are the people of Tianmen really so magical?
"How is it possible? Although this Tianmen is mysterious, it is definitely not to this level of mystery!" Li Xiao shook his head and decisively rejected Dugu Ming's unrealistic idea.
But having said that, how did Tianmen do it?
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind. He grabbed the spy who had reported earlier and asked, "Does the wooden monster you found on the river beach have a spiral embedded in its tail?"
wood chips?”
The spy was slightly shocked by the sharp aura that Li Xiao exuded unintentionally. When he came back to his senses, he nodded quickly after thinking about it carefully, and couldn't help but admired: "That's it, Master can calculate this, it's true.
He knows things like a god!"
"Master, have you calculated anything?" Dugu Ming looked at Li Xiao and asked with a little curiosity.
"Well, it turns out that Emperor Shitian and the others did not come by land, but by water." At this time, Li Xiao's heart suddenly dawned.
"Waterway? This doesn't make sense. We also have sentries at the upper source of Songqing Lake. If they pass by the waterway, the sentries should also be alert." Dugu Ming was still puzzled.
Li Xiao shook his head and said: "They did not sail above the water, but came under the water. This Emperor Shitian has lived for thousands of years. He is very knowledgeable and has invented many things. This kind of underwater transportation relies on spiral propulsion.
The tool is one of them, it's called an underwater submarine."
Just now, Li Xiao also recalled that there was such a plot in the original work. At that time, Bu Jingyun wanted to let some well-informed pirates investigate the true identity of Emperor Shitian, but he did not expect that Emperor Shitian had already sat down.
In the wooden submarine, he lurked under the water and waited for the opportunity to release water arrows and kill the pirates to tease Bu Jingyun.
Not only that, the submarine was also equipped with a periscope and a powerful torpedo... Although it sounds a bit absurd at first, but if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.
Emperor Shakten lived for thousands of years and traveled all over the world. His experience and knowledge far exceeded ordinary people, so he had extraordinary foresight and was able to do things beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Emperor Shitian was also a very clever inventor. If he had lived to the present day, he would probably have come up with many great inventions. Maybe he would have won a Nobel Prize?
"Submarine?" Dugu Ming nodded thoughtfully. Although he was surprised, at least it confirmed that these people in Tianmen were not some powerful gods, and his confusion was cleared.
…
…
"People in Wushuang City, please listen to me. Those who are wise will hand over Bai Xiaosheng and lead the people in the city to submit to Tianmen. Otherwise, the city will be massacred with blood today!"
At this time, Luo Xian was dressed in a black robe and walked out of the array gracefully. His delicate and beautiful face was as cold as ice. The words he spoke were not coquettish words, but a chilling warning that resounded outside Wushuang City.
.
"Humph, it's really ridiculous and shameless. How can my master Bai Xiaosheng be seen by you guys? I'm afraid if you are destined to come, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back!"
"Lake a bow and shoot an arrow!"
Duan Lang let out a cold shout and ordered the city guards in unison. He raised his wrist and waved heavily towards the bottom of the city. In a moment, the soldiers of Wushuang City set up their bows and arrows well-trained, and drew the bows in their hands into a round.
A powerful full moon.
"Chichichi!" the sound that broke through the air suddenly exploded.
Hundreds of sharp arrows shot out immediately, turning into a mass of black mass, piercing the sky, overwhelmingly sweeping towards the Tianmen camp. Seeing that these sharp arrows were about to bury them all in a hornet's nest.
But at this moment, the disciples in the front row of Tianmen suddenly lit up their vine oil shields, raised them high and pressed them in front of them. The shields of each other were tightly connected, as if in a very short time,
A piece of copper and iron wall was pieced together, and the Tianmen disciples behind them quickly shrank, or ran under the shield, or lay directly on the ground, unhurriedly and methodically.
The rain of arrows that filled the sky did not kill any Tianmen disciples.
"Jie Jie, you didn't expect that this vine oil shield is invulnerable to weapons and bullets." Emperor Shitian, who was on the Kowloon sedan, stood up, scratched his head and ears like a monkey, and let out a weird laugh.
Emperor Shitian lived for thousands of years, playing games with all living beings. During the Three Kingdoms period, he heard that Meng Huo's soldiers all wore a kind of rattan oil armor that was invulnerable, so he went to the Nanzhong area to find out the principle of this rattan oil armor.
Later, he specially built these vine oil shields, and he also wore a set of vine oil heart armor.
The soldiers of Wushuang City couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this. At this stunned moment, the Tianmen disciples, under Luo Xian's order, also raised their bows and arrows in unison, but the arrows were wrapped with cloth strips and stained with kerosene.
After that, it burned fiercely.
"go!"
Flame arrows suddenly fired together, gathering in the air, like a blazing and sharp fire dragon, roaring towards the Wushuang City soldiers above the city wall.
"Hurry and escape!" Duanlang's eyes darkened and he warned loudly.
However, in this unexpected situation, it was already too late for the soldiers to escape.
"No need to dodge, just one punch!"
At this moment, a handsome figure lightly touched the bluestone bricks on the city wall, and jumped up like a dragon. The void under his feet seemed to be paved with invisible steps. When Li Xiao jumped into the air,
At this moment, countless tiny ice particles suddenly burst out from the open palms, floating and rising, dazzling under the refraction of the sun, and the surrounding air suddenly cooled down!
He clenched his palms into fists, as if the extremely cold air between heaven and earth was being drawn, pressed into Li Xiao's fists, and blasted out heavily.
In the shocked expressions of everyone, the roaring fire dragon was completely extinguished, and hundreds of arrows bent and fell powerlessly!
