Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 170 Entering Chang'an
Shao Lingxiao's retreat not only concealed his own figure, but also disappeared with his four attendants. He could only vaguely realize that there were five vitality in the void, one big, four small, Wandering uncertain.

Guan Luoyang can say with certainty that they have not really transformed their flesh and blood into a state of vitality, and are still in a normal environment where light shines, scatters, and is received by other people's eyes, and they have not achieved invisibility in the conventional sense.

That should be to use Shao Lingxiao's swordsmanship to evoke the psychological perception and resonance of everyone present, so that these people who have not touched the telepathy of the master realm can't control the flow of their spiritual power and confuse it in the vast world. Between streets and alleys.

Everyone around was suppressed by Shao Lingxiao, thinking that he couldn't see it, and their sense of confusion was coerced into affecting Guan Luoyang, making him really "see" Shao Lingxiao's existence.

Lihuo's double pupils can break through evil spirits and illusions, and break through the mist of yin and qi, but in this situation, there is really nowhere to start, and they don't know where to attack in order to see the truth.

However, those chaotic and flowing perceptions could not penetrate within three feet of Guan Luoyang. As long as Shao Lingxiao launched an offensive again, he would be caught in specific traces the moment he approached Guan Luoyang.

He held the sword and waited for three seconds, but the attack still did not come, so he frowned.

Three seconds is extremely short in the eyes of others. It seems that after the two of them fought, Guan Luoyang's steps stopped, and even the robe on Guan Luoyang was still in the aftermath of the round of confrontation just now. dancing among.

But in the vision of the grandmaster, the time scale of three seconds is long enough.

"wrong!"

Guan Luoyang slashed the ground with his sword, and the sword energy spread out from the ground.

shhhhhhhhhh-

In an instant, hundreds of slender ink-colored sword marks pierced and shot upwards from the surrounding ground.

The scope of these sword qi dispersions is too wide, and the strength is not too strong, but if there are still people hiding around, it will definitely cause some abnormalities in the trajectory of the sword qi.

The greatest feature of the true qi cultivated in the Inaction scriptures is its subtlety. The momentum Guan Luoyang has learned from it is called "doing nothing without doing it", but it actually means meticulous, and it is best used to spy on the surroundings.

The ink-colored streaks rose straight up, without any sign of being distorted.

"You actually want to leave just like that?"

Guan Luoyang breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke slowly, his voice was heard clearly for several miles.

"Now you still have the opportunity to kill us directly here. If you wait until Chang'an, what you have to face is at least three times the current manpower."

"As the leader of the Demon Cult, don't you even have the courage to try this?"

While he was speaking, he had already exerted his hearing and induction to the highest level.

Under the vibration of the sound waves, there was a slight abnormal sound from the city gate. With a movement of Guan Luoyang's body, he flew across the street, with an afterimage on his body, to the city gate not far away.

The city gate was wide open, and on the door on the right, a lot of sawdust peeled off, revealing a line of large characters.

"The song is over, the bet is settled, and within [-] days, there will be no more moves. '

Guan Luoyang went back to Jubu and them.

Many first-class masters, each of them looked like they had lost their true energy, and they couldn't stop panting.

Lu Ningxian supported Shi Qing.

You don't need to hold the pipa, sit on the ground, wipe the blood on the pipa with a silk handkerchief, and apologize to them: "Everyone, I was reckless this time. If I can wait for General Feng and Guan Shaoxia to arrive before doing anything, I won't be able to kill you." You are all involved."

Shi Qing's face darkened, and he said harshly: "Mr. Ju has such a great reputation, do you think we are all here for you?!"

He uttered angrily, barely uttered a word, and coughed again and again.

You don't need to know that you have made a slip of the tongue, these people came here with pride, and they don't want to fall into the reputation of Guanzhong, which makes people look down on Datang. He talks like this now, as if he feels that the meeting with Shao Lingxiao should not be the responsibility of these people. Inevitably infuriating.

"Sorry, it's me..."

"This matter, you are not wrong at all."

Guan Luoyang came over and said, "Before Shao Lingxiao came here, he just killed a fleet on the river. Since you met him, if you don't take action, no one knows what he will do in the city."

"As for everyone coming here for righteousness, it is absolutely not wrong."

"But I have a question. What kind of bet did he make with you that he can promise not to make a move on the [-]th?"

Everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect Shao Lingxiao to abide by the bet, especially after being completely controlled by Qisi, they completely believed that it was just a scam.

No one even noticed when the sound of the pipa stopped.

Looking back now, I realized that the group of people who rushed forward to protect Juyou were indeed standing beside Juyou, a total of 14 people.

After Guan Luoyang heard them say a few words to clarify the whole story, he repeated in doubt: "You mean, he proposed the bet by himself?"

Not right.

There are too many ways to provoke Guanzhong Wulin, so why make such a bet.

If the purpose of gathering these masters is to allow him to speed up the transfer of injuries, then after he has almost used them, why are these people still not killed?
Although the five-color true qi can offset a lot of their internal energy, it is not a permanent injury. As long as they adjust their breath for a few hours and take the wound medicines from various schools and factions on their bodies, they can recover first-class masters. s level.

In a way, the injuries of these people were not even as serious as the chronic poisons among others.

There is no doubt that these people will become obstacles to the Demon Cult's subsequent actions, and when Shao Lingxiao sensed Guan Luoyang in advance, he had enough time to kill all of them first.

As long as the air filaments are controlled at that time to penetrate the internal organs from the acupuncture points and destroy the heart vessels, it is easy.

After half an hour, everyone had settled down in the local government office to recuperate. Guan Luoyang helped a few of the more seriously injured to finish the treatment, and the doubts in his heart still did not ease.

General Feng and An Feiyu had already arrived here, so Guan Luoyang talked to them.

After listening to the battle, General Feng looked at Guan Luoyang with joy, and said, "Perhaps, he didn't expect Guan Shaoxia's martial arts to be so advanced at the time, so there are some things that can be saved for later, and everyone can be dealt with calmly." Mind, when we really fight, we won't have this chance."

"Could it really be such a simple mistake?"

Guan Luoyang shook his head, suppressed his doubts for the time being, and said, "Anyway, after this time, the tactics you originally planned to delay his recovery through constant fighting won't work. The remaining injuries , he will be fully healed soon.”

"Wuwei is separated from the body. He may even have more leeway than he did on Laojun Mountain that day. We must be prepared to deal with Shao Lingxiao when he is completely victorious."

General Yin said: "Can you try to send him to Shatter the Void like he did with Tianfang Zhenren back then."

Anfeiyu disagreed: "He has used this method himself, how could he not be on guard? He was originally evenly matched with Tian Fang, but he was almost beaten to death in order to force Tian Fang to break through the void. Who can survive a situation like that?"

"Then we have to wait until we go to Chang'an. Our strength will be concentrated in Chang'an. Compared with those uncontrollable monsters, our manpower will form a tighter structure."

General Yin said, "At that time, the two sides will be done trading, and the extra power that can be used to deal with Shao Lingxiao should be more than the few of us now."

Guan Luoyang's lips moved, but he didn't say anything else.

'Even if there is a way to force him to shatter the void, I will try to see if I can kill him first. '

After this day, the Wulin in Guanzhong was like the surface of the water that was blown by the breeze, turned into a raging wave, and the undercurrent surged to the surface of the water, and there was no place where the sound of the turmoil could not be heard.

No matter what kind of news, if you want to see its influence clearly, you have to go through a fermentation process. In the era of feudal dynasties, the fermentation time of news is often longer.

Originally, the rumors related to Laojun Mountain, Shaolin Temple, and monster mutants were just rumors. Many people only heard the rumors, and many more people didn't even hear the rumors.

But ever since Shao Lingxiao's bet in the city got out, it seemed like a real blow to Guanzhong Wulin. Whether you could hear it or not, he had already rushed in front of you.

It is so big that it is famous for thousands of miles, its roots are intertwined, it connects with the government at the top, and even the reckless big sects at the bottom, and it is so small that it only teaches one or two disciples in its own courtyard. They all really felt that a heavy rain is passing by and the flood is coming. general impact.

Among them, there are hundreds of people, thousands of people, chose the attitude of not having anything to do with themselves, thinking that no matter how much trouble the Demon Cult makes, it may not be found on them, and they still only regard this as a piece of talk, some are Medium-sized sects will even deliberately gather outside forces to reduce the chance of encountering demon cult monsters.

What they did is not necessarily wrong, and sometimes it is good to be self-aware, but there are still more people who feel righteous indignation.

Because the over a hundred monster mutants have already followed the traces of disaster and poured into the pass from all directions. They are destroying, devouring, growing, and setting fire without sleep.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a lot of wilderness, and the distance traveled by each monster in the wild mountains and forests was actually longer than the distance they traveled between cities and towns. Guan Luoyang and the others are still chasing and hunting kill.

However, such accidental, passing, and even interrupted destruction has brought some villages and towns to the brink of destruction, and made some cities panic.

The people in Guanzhong may have heard about their old friends, their mother's family, or the hometown of friends around them, where disasters and disasters have happened.

There are also some false news, but it is difficult to distinguish for a while, and they all become fuelwood for anger.Urge them to do what they can, even if it's just verbal criticism.

They will cry to the government, and they will ask those famous masters to come forward to kill these demons who are angry and resentful.

Hiss! !
With blood splashing by the river, Guan Luoyang tore off a monster that was shaped like a lion but covered with horny thick skin like a rhinoceros.

The blood of this monster has turned purple, and its weight is close to two tons. It can be said that it is a completely different species from humans.

But before, when a group of warriors besieged and killed it, it unexpectedly stood up from time to time in the gap between the culling and killing, and displayed its fierce claws all the way.

Several warriors just didn't expect this change, and were hit by a claw that collapsed their shoulders, or were hit in the waist or chest.

The few surviving people were surrounded by these corpses with red eyes. A young swordsman with a broad forehead came out first and thanked Guan Luoyang.

There was a silk scroll stained with bright red blood, which fell on the bank and was half submerged in the river.

Guan Luoyang picked up the silk scroll, on which were the handwriting of everyone's petition, nearly a hundred names and more illiterate people's handwriting, and the proof that was directly printed on fingers or palms with ink.

"The strength of these monsters can compete with first-class fighters, but their habits are closer to wild beasts. If you want to protect the people of one side, it is better to gather in the towns to echo each other. In case of monsters attacking, use firelight, giant louder, and more likely to force it back."

The world's first-class masters are equivalent to three-star reincarnation, these monsters are actually three-star creatures, and the few knights in front of them are almost only two-star level, and even one is not even two-star.

The young swordsman with a broad forehead took the silk book and said: "I understand the kindness of the hero. This silk book was left by that brother, and we are not from the same place."

"I heard that these monsters will go to Chang'an all the time, and they will not hesitate to move forward. The places where we are located, only heard that monsters have suffered disasters nearby, so we shouldn't have to stick to it, so we deliberately chased them out."

Guan Luoyang nodded: "Then you should find out where those first-class masters are, go meet them, and act together."

But the young swordsman said: "Seniors like heroes come and go like the wind. If they want to slow down their actions to take care of us, so that more places are attacked by monsters, how can we feel sorry? go."

"Actually, heroes don't have to worry too much about us. There are many people like us, and they are all in small groups, patrolling around. Even if we are overwhelmed, maybe after encountering a monster, we can delay for a while, make a noise, and attract people. It is enough to go to the nearby experts to eradicate this scourge."

Over there, a man with tears in his eyes who was lying beside the corpse also shouted: "A monster like this just needs to run across a street, and the walls and houses will collapse. I don't know how many people will be killed and wounded. My brother can kill you." With one stab, it can delay for a moment, let this beast hit the benefactor's hands, and kill him on the spot, and my brother will die in peace."

There was also a man with a broken leg, sitting on the ground, crying and laughing in pain, and shouted: "The storyteller in the Goulan has been retelling the Southwest War ten years ago and talking about those demon cult monsters. Add a few more ways to die, and talk about the ugliness a few more times, and the words are full of anger."

"He has his own battlefield where he spits. Can we martial arts practitioners be compared to them?"

"You don't need to worry about us, benefactor, you should go ahead and kill more of these monsters."

Guan Luoyang stared at them for a while, thought about something, bowed his hands to them, and left.

What those people said was true, in the following days, he encountered such martial arts people more and more frequently.

Sometimes when passing through towns, the faces I see are mostly apprehensive and angry.

Many people are talking about the Devil's Cult, scolding them for burning food, and many people are worried, but it is rarely fear. Real fear is what makes people speechless, and it will make the voice of discussion less , so that people subconsciously avoid mentioning and hearing.

As time passed day by day, those monsters and the masters who pursued them all came into Chang'an.

The [-] banned troops have already received the dispatch order and deployed outside to search from the surrounding areas of Chang'an.

The closer to the destination, all the routes began to converge.

Guan Luoyang and the others also reunited. In the pursuit team from Dongdu, many people were unable to meet here again, but the number of first-class masters doubled or tripled.

Those people heard that Guan Luoyang, Li Gong, Juyong, and General Feng were all here, so they all rushed over to meet, and finally clicked, in the place adjacent to Chang'an, there were actually nearly a hundred first-class masters gathered.

Almost all the first-class masters of the righteous way of the Tang Dynasty gathered here. Some of them reunited with old friends after a long absence, and some of them had been famous for a long time. amidst the noise.

This is a necessary meeting.

After calculation, more than half of the more than 200 monsters had been killed in the tortuous pursuit that lasted for more than a month, but there were still eighty or ninety.

If they want to break into Chang'an, they can't be stopped by the imperial guards alone. At most, they will give a warning. It is necessary for Li Gong to ask these masters to cooperate with the inner guards to carry out more careful defense.

For this matter, the emperor issued three imperial edicts in succession, dispatching high officials from the court as special envoys to read them out in public.

This meeting lasted from early morning to evening before getting to the point. It was not until the lighting of the lamps that Li Gong presented a detailed map of Chang'an City.

Except for the location of the imperial palace, which was blank, the map clearly marked the main roads of other cities and towns, and even the residences of some high-ranking officials and aristocratic families.

With Guan Luoyang's previous strength, he would not be arranged by Li Gong to stay in a fixed position, he must be a supporter.

So when Li Gong started to speak, Guan Luoyang was bored, so he went to the garden alone.

There is no moon tonight, and the stars are sparse, but there are lights everywhere, and the garden does not look too dark. I don’t know what the original arrangement of this mansion is. The flowers in the garden are all kinds of strange and colorful. In the taste of rancid wine.

Guan Luoyang paused for a long time in the shadow of a clump of tall bamboos, and broke off a big purple flower with bright petals, and crushed it between his palms with the dew in the evening.

"You seem troubled?"

Gu Lanxiang's voice came from behind, bringing a burst of alcohol smell.

"Destroying flowers with hot hands can't relieve your worries."

She handed Guan Luoyang a wine glass, "Try this."

Guan Luoyang patted the broken flowers on his hands, took the cup, and drank it all in one gulp: "Huh, it seems to be more mellow than the one you gave us before?"

"The wine prescriptions I got were originally related to the Zen meditation in the Panda Jiuxian martial arts. Two days ago, after I broke through to four stars, I followed the method in the Vajra Essence Sutra to extract the Zen thoughts, and then mixed Take a look at the recipe in the wine shop."

Gu Lanxiang shook the gourd, took a big gulp, and said with a smile, "It really tastes better."

"Mental power brewing?" Guan Luoyang looked at the wine glass and laughed, "This glass is too small, a gourd is just congratulations on your promotion to four stars."

"The last time we met, I already knew that I was 100% sure. There is nothing to congratulate. Brother An seems to be a little bit worried, but it's almost too soon."

Gu Lanxiang directly poured another cup for Guan Luoyang from her own gourd, "Unfortunately, it's only July now, otherwise, if we go to Chang'an City, we can rely on the service we bought at the base to lock the enemy Find out the positions of those in Team Fang, and then find out where Shao Lingxiao and the others are, and arrange them in advance."

"Now they are full of three and four stars. Even if that Sun Ling is an awakened monster, his potential has not been exhausted. What methods can he use to temporarily improve it? It is only four."

"On our side, you, me, the abbot, and General Feng. I heard that there is another one in Chang'an. If you don't need it, Lu Ningxian and the other four magic soldiers can count as one."

"That is to say, if the situation goes well, after the exchange is over, at least three of us here will surround and beat Shao Lingxiao together, so we can be confident."

Guan Luoyang took a sip of the spirits and said, "Unfortunately, the situation will never be so smooth. Apart from killing demons and practicing kung fu, I have passed many places on the road, and my doubts are getting deeper and deeper."

Gu Lanxiang said: "What are you wondering about?"

"First of all, a little discovery."

Guan Luoyang looked up at the night sky, "Different from some eras I've been to, people in this Tang Dynasty are really...very...confident, even proud."

"Even if they knew about those monsters, and that bad news spread one after another since the attack on Laojun Mountain, and that so many granaries and grain transport fleets were destroyed, they still didn't feel too anxious."

"Even if they can't name who can put down the chaos of the Demon Cult, they definitely believe that Tang will win."

Gu Lanxiang held the gourd to her chin and said, "Isn't that good?"

"How can it be bad? Of course it's good, I like it very much, so I feel even more strange..."

Guan Luoyang asked a deep question, "It's only been so long since I've been here that I've already experienced the pride of Datang, so what about Shao Lingxiao?"

"Shouldn't he be ignorant of this kind of Tang Dynasty, just by burning the granary to kill the emperor, even if he really kills the emperor, can he really complete the revenge in his heart?"

Gu Lanxiang understood a little bit: "Do you think what he has done is not perfect?"

"Far from enough!"

Guan Luoyang said firmly, "A person who was able to lead the Demon Cult ten years ago and complete such a tragic battle, his revenge should not be like this."

"So procrastinating, so unfocused, such a distraction, such a bet, and even retreating in front of me a few times. When we met for the first time, he should never have given me this level of feeling."

Guan Luoyang's voice slowly lowered, "There must be something crucial that we haven't thought of yet."

He recalled the first time he fought against Shao Lingxiao on Laojun Mountain, compared to the few encounters later that were painless.

When they met for the first time, the shame of that move, the feeling of emptiness, emptiness, and emptiness, was the "truth" that Guan Luoyang's instincts were more inclined to.

There is also the second time at Laojun Mountain, although it seems that he was suppressed by the real Tianfang...

Tianfang real person.

Guan Luoyang's mind suddenly flashed the last words that Immortal Tianfang slammed on the Tianmen with his palm, and couldn't finish his sentence.

"Lan Xiang!"

"Ok?"

"Where is the deceased abbot? I have something very important to ask him."
