Chapter 17 Sword Gate
There was a divine sculpture to lead the way, and the two of them followed, and soon flew to a mountain village in a remote mountainous area and fell.
Hua Jiangnan was standing in a villager's yard and looking up to the sky. Seeing Shifang and Nan Yingyue, he said happily, "The master is back."
Two people fell to the ground one by one. Shifang saw the three saints of Hua Jiangnan and Mount Tai, and their faces were slightly unhappy.
As soon as Hua Jiangnan looked at his face, he knew what he was thinking.
"Master, if we didn't run away at that time, we would be trapped in it and all of them would be killed. So..."
Shifang waved his hand: "Forget it."
Tang Da laughed and said, "Son, it's not that we are unrighteous. At that time, we could really run one person. By the way, where's the teacher?"
Speaking of Qingzhu Shitai, Nan Yingyue was sad again. Shifang sighed and briefly talked about the death of Qingzhu Shitai.
Hua Jiangnan wanted to speak but stopped. Tang Sanxin said bluntly, "If the master and Miss Nan ran first at that time, I'm afraid that Qingzhu Shitai might have escaped with a serious injury."
"You! ..." Shifang was furious when he heard the words, but he thought to his heart that maybe it was true.
If the two people ran away first at that time, then Lang Jin, Brother Long and Brother Hu would definitely come out to chase and kill. In this way, although Qingzhu Shitai was entangled, she was injured and tried her best to escape. Maybe she would not lose her life in order to save the two.
Shi Fang was irritable, sighed, found a wooden stool and sat down.
At this time, an old man in a luxurious gown came out of the house, trembling with a crutch, and asked, "So the Song army won? Where is the Shu army? Are you scared to pee in your pants?"
"Isn't it, where is Li Shouyi's army?" At this time, Shi Fang thought of Li Shouyi's army. In addition to the three saints in the south of the Yangtze River and Mount Tai, there are more than 20 black disciples in this courtyard, but they can't see where Li Shouyi's army is.
Hua Jiangnan replied, "I don't know where Li Shouyi has been scared. Maybe he was destroyed by the Song army."
"So what should we do next?"
Shifang was confused and couldn't do it after thinking about it for a moment.
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "If the State of Shu dies, it will die, but don't wait for several years. When the former emperor beat Wang Yan, the former emperor of the State of Shu, our people suffered a robbery. Now that the Song army has attacked the State of Shu, it's better to finish it quickly.
Nan Yingyue was stunned: "Why does the old man expect his country to be destroyed?"
"Hey hey, prosperity, the people suffer, die, the people suffer. How can you immortals know? After saying that, the old man entered the house on crutches.
At the suggestion of Hua Jiangnan, everyone rested in this family all night, sent some money to the old man, and left for Chengdu, the capital of Shu, the next day.
After flying for half a day, the road is in a mess in all the towns and villages in the official road. Shi Fangqi said, "Song Jun hasn't hit here yet. Why is it like this?"
"It was done by the Shu army." Hua Jiangnan said calmly, "The government of Shu is corrupt, and it is not uncommon for officials to bully the people. Now that the Shu army has been on an expedition, it is natural to search for places. Especially the defeated army who fled is even more unscrupulous. It's a sum of money.
"Well, in this case, Song Guosheng is really better. When the world is settled, the people may be able to live a stable life. Shi Fang gave a sigh.
For a moment, I came to a mountain, and I saw under the sea of clouds. This mountain was straight and steep, but it was majestic and beautiful.
Hua Jiangnan pointed to a mountain and said, "Master, this is the sword gate closed. The Shu army must have a large number of troops stationed here. Let's go down and have a look.
Everyone led the south of the Yangtze River in front of a mountain. There were two high mountains standing upright. The peaks were as steep as swords, and the walls of the two mountains were opposite each other like doors. There was a huge stone gate pass between the two mountains, and there were Shu soldiers waiting.
At this time, the guard at the checkpoint saw these people falling from the sky and were shocked. Someone shouted, "The enemy is coming. Go and report to the general." The rest of the people set up their bows and arrows at Shifang and others.
"Hour, this is one of us."
At this moment, a person flashed from the city stack, ordered a few words to the guard, and then hugged his fist and said, "Master Shifang, how are you?"
At a glance, this man was dressed in white, as if he was as a fairy, as cold and arrogant as snow. He was actually Leng Aoxue, a proud disciple of the Baiyun Master of the Kunlun School.
When Shifang first entered the Kunlun faction and joined the League of the four factions, he fought with this cold senior sister. Now when I think about it, I really remember the situation at that time.
"Homo, Sister Leng, is Uncle Baiyun also here?"
Leng Aoxue shook her head: "The god doesn't have to call Ao Xue that, just call her by her name. My teacher is not here. Please come up and talk.
Shifang and others flew into the pass. Leng Aoxue and the three saints of Nan Yingyue, Hua Jiangnan and Taishan said after seeing the salute, "The three roads of the Shu army have been defeated. Now this Jianmen Pass is the last defensive place."
It is said that the Jianmen Pass was built by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the State of Shu, during the Three Kingdoms. The stone gate is strong and the military strength is strong, guarding the throat of the State of Shu. In those years, Zhong Hui, the general of the west of the Wei army, led 100,000 elite soldiers to enter Hanzhong and rushed to the Jianmen Pass to seize the State of Shu. Jiang Wei, the general of the Shu army, led 30,000 soldiers and horses back to the Jianmen Pass to resist the 100,000 troops of Zhonghui outside the Jianmen Pass. It can be said: "One man is the gate, ten thousand people can't open it."
All the way into the general's mansion, it can be seen that the defense here is strictly prohibited, and the soldiers standing on both sides are ten times stronger than the Li Shouyi army.
Before entering the room, a general in a red cloak and armor strode out of the door and shouted from afar, "At the lower sword gate, please."
This is full of spirit, and he seems to be a monk! He welcomed several people into the house, ordered them to prepare refreshments, and entertained them with enthusiasm.
Leng Aoxue said first, "I heard that the Master of Shifang and Sister Nan went to the East Road Army. At this time, did the East Road Army also be defeated?"
Hua Jiangnan told the battle situation to Leng Aoxue and Guan Chong in detail, and finally asked, "Are the other two armies also defeated?"
Guan Chong's sadness overflowed with words: "It is reported that the other two routes have suffered consecutive defeats, and the situation is not good. On your way here, have you been broken through the other pass?
"I didn't pay attention to this." Shifang said, "We have lost contact with General Li Shouyi, and we don't know the location of other pass. But the Song army is assisted by the masters of the cold-blooded alliance. I'm afraid that other pass will not last long.
"Hey." Guan Chong shouted, "At the beginning, I asked your majesty to repair the government and rectify the military strength. Now the real generals and fierce soldiers have left one after another because of the unsatisfactoryness of the court. How can you defend it?"
"I think General Guan is also a monk?" Hua Jiangnan suffoed for a moment and finally asked.
Guan Chong said feebly, "Which real general doesn't practice some martial arts? Although it's not as good as your cultivation of immortality, you can do more or less martial arts. But now only Guan and several other generals still have some force, other... alas!"
Several people looked at each other in con'ssment and didn't know what to say. Shifang suddenly remembered one thing: "I don't know which Taoist friends are there to help the other two armies?"
Leng Aoxue said, "As far as I know, the middle army has the seniors of Qinglan of the Yihua Palace led the sisters of Yihua Palace, as well as some masters of the round generation of Tianyin Temple. The West Road Army has my Kunlun Tiezhu brothers and others and some sisters in Yihua Palace. My teacher will also come here to discuss the strategy of resisting the Song army.
"Do they have any casualties?" Shifang was afraid to hear who would die again, but he couldn't help asking.
Leng Aoxue is still as cold as frost: "Well, there are some casualties. It is said that there are eight heavenly kings in the cold-blooded alliance, each of which has some magical power, which is really difficult to resist. In addition, the Shu army is too weak to be the opponent of the Song army at all, so according to my guess, the Song army will soon gather at this sword gate.
"At that time, the winner will be at this moment." Hua Jiangnan immediately said.
The eight emperors of the cold-blooded alliance have met four people in the ten directions. First, it was the rosefinch, followed by Xuanwu Tianjun Langjin. Later, the dragon and Hu surnames had strong martial arts skills, and they must be two of the eight heavenly kings.
Each of these four people are masters who can be alone. The people sent by Tianyin Temple and Yihua Palace to help the battle, except for the Qinglan Master of Yihua Palace, their cultivation is not high, and they are not the opponents of the Eight Heavenly King at all.
For example, there are few masters left in the Southern Xiuzhen world today, the black religion Shifang, the three saints of Mount Tai, the flower palace Diaohan Fairy, Qinglan Shitai, Tianyin Temple Xuanxing, Kunlun school Baiyun Shitai, drunken Taoist. Counting the evil Xiaoyao Situ Ruyi and a long-lost-lost ancestor, there are only 11 people in total. What's more, although the three saints of Mount Tai and Situ Ruyi have some magical power, they are not first-class masters. If it hadn't been for several wars of good and evil at the beginning, the Tiannan Xiuzhen world was really a master. How could the cold-blooded alliance blatantly invade?
