Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 149 Bloody Battle at Beiyuan

Wu Xu got very drunk at Sun Yang's shop, and returned to the mansion together with Xu Zhiqiong.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, Xu Zhiqiong wanted to leave, but Wu Xu kept him.

"Let's go later, I will teach you a sword technique, it will be useful in the future!"

Another knife technique?
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Qianhu, I'm not a cultivator of killing Taoism, can I really learn your saber technique?"

Wu Xu said: "It's hard to say now, when you reach the sixth rank and your combat power increases sharply, you may be able to comprehend the subtleties."

After finishing speaking, Wu Xu pulled out his long knife, held it in the air, and then slashed straight down.

"Come on, you do it once."

Xu Zhiqiong was stunned for a while, then turned to Wu Xu and said, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, is this also called saber technique?"

How is this different from chopping wood?
Wu Xu said: "This trick is called Tiger Killing and Slashing! Don't look at the shape of the knife, don't look at the moves, just focus on the intention of the knife, and concentrate all the energy on the blade, which is smaller than the tip of a needle."

All Qi machines are concentrated at a point smaller than the tip of a needle?
How is this possible?

Xu Zhiqiong made a slash without any special feeling.

Wu Xu said: "The cultivator of the Dao of Killing has a deep energy and it is difficult to concentrate. You judges have less energy and are good at using the power of imagery, and concentrate your mind on the blade. Try again."

Xu Zhiqiong tried again, but there was still nothing special about it.

Wu Xu shook his head and said, "It's far from there. Your aura is bigger than your fist. Remember the essentials, forget the shape of the knife, forget the way to use the knife, and only remember the position of the edge of the knife. Focus your mind and quickly draw the knife."

Xu Zhiqiong tried more than a dozen times, and a spark suddenly burst out from the blade.

How could sparks come out of the blade without touching a hard object?
Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise, "Is this the power of Tiger Kill?"

"Your current qi mechanism is about the size of an egg, and it's still far from the tip of a needle." Wu Xu took Xu Zhiqiong's saber, and used his fingernails to draw a gap on the blade, "Concentrate all your thoughts on this gap." ,try again."

Xu Zhiqiong concentrated his thoughts and slashed with his sword, sparking more sparks.

After practicing for an hour, Xu Zhiqiong finally grasped the essentials, and sparks flew every time he took the knife.

But Wu Xu was still dissatisfied. Seeing Xu Zhiqiong exhausted, he sighed and said, "Forget it, this was not achieved overnight. Let's study harder in the future!"

Xu Zhiqiong gasped and said, "Qianhu, my qi has been concentrated at the size of a needle tip, and if the qi is insufficient, I can't do anything about it."

"Nails are about the same size, but how many needle points can one piece of nail hold?"

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "If it's really the size of a needle tip, how powerful can it be?"

"Power?" Wu Xu smiled, pulled out his saber, and waved it casually, a cloud of smoke and dust rose from the courtyard wall two feet away.

Xu Zhiqiong leaned over and took a look. The courtyard wall was more than one foot thick, and a hairline-wide knife mark more than one foot long ran neatly through the courtyard wall.

The knife didn't even touch the courtyard wall, but it actually cut the courtyard wall?
Xu Zhiqiong was terrified, and Wu Xu said: "I only used the Qi machine of the seventh rank, and I have such power. I killed Fan Baocai that day, and I used this saber. When you reach the sixth rank, the Qi machine is full. This knife It is enough for you to compete with Gaopin and powerful enemies."

Forget the shape of the knife, forget the tricks, and only focus on the meaning of the knife.

Wouldn't it be incomparable if this move could be combined with Xue Yun's sword technique?

But Xue Yun's sword technique pays most attention to the shape of the sword, which is contradictory...

While thinking, Wu Xu turned and walked towards the backyard, stopped after taking two steps, turned his head to stare at the courtyard wall, blinked and said, "Is this my courtyard?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded.

Wu Xu stared at the knife mark for a while: "Tomorrow, you can find a plasterer to repair the courtyard wall."

Xu Zhiqiong curled his lips and said in a low voice: "You chopped it yourself, why do you want me to fix it?"

Wu Xu pulled out his saber and said, "Be more careful in repairing!"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "I'm going to find the craftsman right away."

Wu Xu returned to the backyard, entered Xin Chu's room, threw himself on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Xin Chu got up quietly, went to the next door, and called Jiang Feili.

"Come on, you marry him first tonight. After this night, are you still afraid that he won't marry you in the future? I'll teach you some tricks later, don't be shy, I guarantee that he won't be able to leave you in the future!"

Jiang Feili was a little embarrassed: "Isn't this an adultery?"

Xin Chu said: "Don't miss the opportunity, the time will never come, if you miss this night, you will regret it!"

Jiang Feili bit her finger and said, "Allow me to think about it for a few days..."

"Just think about it," Xin Chu sneered, "Come to drink a wedding next month, and then don't cry."

"Next month, it's still far away, I'll think about it again..."

……

At Haishi the next day, Chen Yuanzhong brought [-] lantern bearers to Liu Langzhong's outer house in Beiyuan.

At this moment, Liu Xuxing is in the courtyard to catch a fifth-rank middle man. In fact, there is no need to dispatch so many people, because before leaving, Emperor Zhaoxing sent someone to send a handbook, reminding Zhong Shen that there may be Gu worms in the courtyard, let him Zhong Shen was extra careful with more people.

Chen Yuanzhong asked Lantern Lang to divide his troops into two groups, blocking the front and rear doors, and ordered Qiao Shungang and Qu Jinshan to call the door.

Just as Qiao Shun knocked on the door, the servant pushed it open and said numbly, "Who are you looking for?"

Qu Jinshan said with a smile: "Let's find Mr. Doctor."

"The doctor is not here, you go to his house..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Shun just kicked the servant down, and Chen Yuanzhong complained: "Why are you still so reckless?"

Qiao Shun just spat: "I'm too lazy to talk to them, brothers, follow me!"

"What are you going to do!" Chen Yuanzhong said angrily, "Let Qu Dengshou go and have a look first!"

Qu Jinshan led two lantern-handlers who knew yin and yang skills, and walked into the yard first. Except for the servant who opened the door, there was no one in sight in the front yard.

He sprinkled a piece of red medicinal powder in the middle of the yard, and waited for half a cup of tea, but the color of the medicinal powder did not change, which proved that there were no Gu worms in the front yard.

Qu Jinshan shook the lantern, Chen Yuanzhong led the crowd into the yard, passed the Chuihua Gate, Qu Jinshan went to the backyard, and saw Liu Xuxing sitting in the middle of the yard with more than [-] people sitting beside him.

Qiao Shun just stood behind the hanging flower door, and said with a smile, "Damn it, there are so many people in this family, are they all together? Didn't you say there were only twenty people?"

Qu Jinshan sprinkled the medicinal powder here, the color did not change, and there were no Gu worms in the backyard.

Seeing Liu Xuxing's posture, he didn't intend to resist.

Chen Yuanzhong stepped forward and said, "Liu Langzhong, have you pleaded guilty to the law?"

Liu Xuxing nodded.

Qiao Shungang grinned and said, "If I knew you were so happy, why did you bring so many people here? Zhiqiong, tie him up for me and send him back to the yamen. I'll take my brothers to Goulan and wait for you!"

Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward with the shackles, and was about to tie up Liu Xuxing, when a bloody smell suddenly came to his nostrils.

"Not good!" Xu Zhiqiong shouted, "Stand back!"

When the words fell, the red powder sprinkled in the yard suddenly turned black. Liu Xuxing slowly stood up, with a dozen arms protruding from each side of his ribs.

Qiao Shun just shouted at Qu Jinshan: "Old man, you can miss this!"

Qu Jinshan asked with a blank face: "Could it be the blood-jawed gnat, how did this Gu worm hide so deep?"

Chen Yuanzhong ordered: "Lang Lantern, hold the lantern!"

Ever since he fought against the fourth-rank golden silkworm last time, Chen Yuanzhong knew the power of the Gu technique, and his first reaction was to use the iron wall to trap the opponent.

Gong Taijin, the man of the green light, took out a three-foot iron box and pulled the mechanism. Before the forty-eight red lights were released, the servant who fell to the ground suddenly appeared behind Gong Taijin, and inserted his four arms into both of Gong Taijin's arms. rib.

Chen Yuanzhong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the servant who opened the door turned out to be a Gu Sect Gu Master (the host of a heretical Gu worm).

Gong Taijin, a seventh-rank Mohist, was wearing three layers of armor, and ordinary weapons would never hurt him. Unexpectedly, the three layers of armor were pierced by the opponent. Gong Taijin vomited blood and died on the spot.

Qu Jinshan exclaimed: "This is also a blood-jawed gnat, with six grades, hurry up..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xuxing rushed to Qu Jinshan, his six arms turned into blades, two slashes with thorns, and came together.

Liu Xuxing also carried a sixth-grade Gu worm on his body.

With the skill of the Yin-Yang family, he couldn't resist the blood-jawed gnats. Qu Jinshan parried the next blow with the flesh and blood puppet, but the flesh and blood puppet was torn apart by Liu Xuxing in a blink of an eye. , tapped on Liu Xuxing's left temple.

This is the vital point of the blood-jawed gnat. Liu Xuxing shuddered, took a few steps back, grabbed the white lantern man Wang Zhiyi, tore it into pieces, turned around and grabbed a lantern man and poked blood holes all over his body.

The servant jumped behind Ma Guangli, and two worm legs came to gouge Ma Guangli's head. Seeing this, Wang Zhennan knocked Ma Guangli away, and the worm legs immediately pierced through his left shoulder.

Chen Yuanzhong rushed up and fought with Liu Xuxing with two green lights. Qiao Shungang led Meng Shizhen and others into a bloody battle with his servants. He was able to fight and resist. With a large number of people, it was not a bad idea to fight with two sixth-grade blood jaws. downwind.

But things are not that simple.

The seventy or so people behind Liu Xuxing stood up, some shook their heads and tails, some had fangs, some had membranous wings on their backs, and some had legs under their ribs.

More than seventy Gushi rushed to Lantern Lantern, and the two sides fell into a melee. It was too late to hold the lantern. In the narrow courtyard, Lantern Lantern could only fight with flesh and blood.

These are all the gu masters that Liang Yuming has cultivated over the years, and now he has used them all. He spent all his money for one purpose - to hold Wu Xu back.

In Liang Yuming's mansion, Ju Chi looked at Liang Yuming and said with a smile, "Your scheme is really vicious!"

Liang Yuming said: "That Hunjun knew that there were Gu worms in Liu Xuxing's house, and he sent the Lantern Yamen to arrest Liu Xuxing, just to force Wu Xu to take action. He knew that Wu Xu was reluctant to be in charge of the Lantern Yamen, and he wanted Wu Xu to protect him. Wu Xu stepped forward and trapped him in Liu Xuxing's outer house!"

Ju Chidao: "Can you trap him? Don't talk about killing the third rank, is he invincible in the world?"

Liang Yuming said: "Zunsi borrowed my six fourth-rank heretics, and I put them in the cellar. It's good if they can be trapped for a while. The Canglong Palace has already started the war!"

Eunuch Yin Haicheng brought a twin candle, the candle had already been lit, and three blood-jawed gnats led a hundred Gushi, and they had already entered the Canglong Palace.

Two elders of the Canglong led more than a hundred disciples in a bloody battle with the three blood-jawed gnaws. Another Elder of the Canglong, Liang Jixiong, and the servant of the Ministry of War, Sui Zhi, came before Emperor Zhaoxing and advised him to leave the Canglong Hall immediately.

"Your Majesty," Sui Zhi said, "The Canglong Palace is dangerous, please return to the palace immediately with your subordinates!"

Liang Jixiong said: "What Sui Shilang said is very true, Your Majesty should return to the palace as soon as possible!"

Emperor Zhaoxing shook his head and said, "Isn't the palace dangerous?"

Sui Zhi said: "There are still forbidden troops in the palace, and the troops of the military department have already arrived outside the palace!"

Emperor Zhaoxing looked sad: "They are third-rank poisons, and the three elders are against him. Ordinary soldiers fight with them, but they don't want to die in vain. They are all good sons of Daxuan. For me alone, I will send you away in vain. Too many lives, I can't bear it!"

While speaking, Emperor Zhaoxing wept.

Liang Jixiong was sweating all over his face and said: "Your Majesty, a country cannot be without a king for a day! Listen to the old minister, go back to the palace quickly, Chen Shuncai is still in the palace, he can resist for a while, wait until I kill these villains , go to the palace to escort him!"

Emperor Zhaoxing cried: "Yuming is my nephew, he makes mistakes again and again, I treat him so leniently, never imagined that he would do this to me!"

Liang Jixiong took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, if this matter is really related to Liang Yuming, King Huai's family will leave it to His Majesty to dispose of, and I will never interfere."

"I won't leave, I will stick to the Canglong Palace, I am willing to die here, and I will give this country to Xiankang (King Huai)!"

In the hall, drums were beating loudly, and the battle situation became more and more urgent.

Liang Jixiong was in a hurry to join the battle, and he didn't want to waste time with Emperor Zhaoxing: "Your Majesty, in the Canglong Palace, only the clan is discussed, no matter how high or low, or seniority. The old minister is your great-grandfather. I will ask you again today, are you going or not?" ?”

Emperor Zhaoxing insisted not to leave: "I am willing to fight with all the elders, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

Liang Jixiong turned to Sui Zhi and said, "Sui Minister, carry Your Majesty away!"

Sui Zhi took a few steps back and said, "I dare not offend Your Majesty!"

"Sui Zhi!" Liang Jixiong yelled, "Your Majesty made a mistake, and you are a guilty minister!"

Sui Zhi heard the words, and saluted Emperor Zhaoxing again; "Your Majesty, forgive me for offending you!"

Sui Zhi walked away from the back door with Emperor Zhaoxing on his back, and Emperor Zhaoxing cried all the way, walking very tragically.

After leaving Canglong Palace, Emperor Zhaoxing stopped crying.

"Are you all ready?"

Sui Zhi nodded.

Emperor Zhaoxing didn't say anything, got into the carriage, and left with Sui Zhi.

The two didn't go back to the palace, they went to An Shu Yuan.

There were no imperial troops along the way, and they all went back to the palace to prepare for the battle. The two entered the outer courtyard of Anshu Courtyard, where Empress Chai Qiuci had been waiting for a long time.

Emperor Zhaoxing sat in the courtyard with his eyes closed, and Chai Qiuci placed a row of candles beside him.

……

Liu Langzhong's outer house was full of flesh and blood. The scuffle lasted for a meal, and Lantern Lang suffered nearly half of the casualties.

After the scuffle, the gu masters suddenly gathered together, the thick-skinned scorpion, beetle, golden tortoise, and elephant armor stood in front, the relatively weak worms stood behind, and the flying gu masters stood on the wings.

They have lined up, and it is time for a general offensive.

Chen Yuanzhong's eyes were red, and he was thinking about forming an array and fighting with Gu Shi.

There is no way to hold the lights during the melee, but now that the two armies are clearly separated, it is a good time to hold the lights!
Xu Zhiqiong shouted: "Hurry up and hold the lamp!"

Niu Yuxian was the first to react and took out the light box in his pocket.He had just been promoted to the eighth rank last month, and now he is a green lantern man. Twenty-four blue lanterns are lined up to form an iron wall. It was knocked apart by two bloodjaw gnats.

The green lantern of the eighth grade can't stop the Gu Shi.

Seeing the blue lanterns falling from mid-air one after another, Niu Yuxian saw Gong Taijin's light box. He picked up the iron light box, tapped the mechanism, and released forty-eight red lights.

Before the red light flew into the air, the iron light box jumped up and down, and the collapsed Niu Yuxian's tiger's mouth burst open.

His cultivation base is not enough, he was only at the eighth rank just now, and this iron lamp box can only be controlled by a green lantern man of the seventh rank.

The white lantern man Lu Yinpeng rushed up, and the green lantern man Luo Ji'an also rushed up. All the Mohist lantern men held on to the light boxes and forty-eight red lights finally flew into the air, forming a sturdy and iron wall.

The instruments of torture fell from the lamp one after another, and the blood and flesh of the Gu Gu behind the wall flew flying.

Qiao Shungang's face was covered with blood, he gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Kill, kill all these beasts!"

Before the laughter fell, the two Gu Shi slammed into the sturdy iron wall together, creating a crack.

This momentum made Chen Yuanzhong shudder.

This is the power of the fourth rank.

Qu Jinshan also trembled, he couldn't tell the difference between an inner Taoist and an outsider Gushi, but he knew how terrible the fourth rank was.

The cracks on the iron wall were getting bigger and bigger, a guru came out of the cracks, and fought with Lantern Lantern, Liu Dashun, the Green Lantern Lantern, shouted: "Chen Qianhu, get out, we can't stand it anymore!"

Chen Yuanzhong clutched the wound on his chest, and shouted hissingly: "I can't retreat, let these Gu people go out, and the capital will be finished! Find someone to go out and ask for help!"

Qiao Shungang shouted: "Zhiqiong, you run fast, go ask for help, call Wuweiying!"

Xu Zhiqiong chopped down a thousand-legged Gu (Malu), turned around and shouted: "I can't go, I know how to deal with the Gu art, and I can resist it for a while, let Qu Deng guard it, the magic circle will go faster!"

Chen Yuanzhong shouted: "Qu Jinshan, you go! You go with the magic circle!"

Qu Jinshan said: "I left a magic circle at the door, you can go to someone else, I also know some ways to break the Gu technique!"

Qiao Shungang shouted, "Zhennan, you go!"

Wang Zhennan wiped the blood off his face, shook his head and said, "I won't leave, we brothers live and die together!"

Meng Shizhen cut a path with a knife and pushed Wang Zhennan out of the door: "Go! Go! Do you want all eight of your wives to be widows? Let me go!"

Qu Jinshan activated the magic circle and sent Wang Zhennan directly back to the yamen in charge of the lamp. There were originally more than a hundred people left in the yamen, but now they are all gone, only Ning Wenyi, the gatekeeper, is left.

"Where did everyone go?"

Ning Wenyi said: "We've all gone to the palace. A group of poisons from the Gu Sect have come to the city. They are about to overthrow the Canglong Palace. Your Majesty has issued an order to let the rest of us guard the palace!"

Wang Zhennan ran all the way, and ran to the main hall of the imperial city, the main hall was empty, only a few guards were left.

Wang Zhennan grabbed a policeman and said, "Where's the commander?"

"The commander took Wuwei Battalion to the top of the city, and a rebel army is attacking the city gate!"

"Wuwei Camp has gone?"

"All gone!"

Wang Zhennan's eyes darkened, what should I do!
There was no one in the yamen, no one in the Sizheng Hall of the Imperial City, no one in the Wuwei Camp, Wang Zhennan ran to the Tsing Yi Pavilion, and there was no one in the Tsing Yi Pavilion.

A stay-at-home Tsing Yi said: "Jiang Shaoshi has brought people to the palace, there are Gu people attacking the palace, His Majesty ordered Tsing Yi Pavilion to defend!"

"Where's the Ministry of War? Is there anyone in the Ministry of War?"

"The people from the Ministry of War have all gone to the city, and they went with General Cheqi."

"Where's the penance workshop? Where's the Onmyoji Division?"

"They're all gone, they're all fighting at the head of the city!"

Wang Zhennan was so desperate that he dragged one arm and ran to Beiyuan.

"Brothers, wait for me, whether it is dead or alive, we brothers are together!"

……

Two fourth-rank Gushi smashed away the Biaodao and rushed into the Lantern Lantern.

Chen Yuanzhong rushed up, fought twice, and was pierced through the stomach by a fourth-rank Gushi with one hand.

Xu Zhiqiong raised his long saber and slashed at the Gu Shi's head with a tiger slash.

hateful!The air machine is not enough, so I have to find a way to take a breath.

Xu Zhiqiong wanted to breathe some energy, but the fourth-rank Gu Gu turned around and kicked Xu Zhiqiong over, wearing Chen Yuanzhong's stomach, lifted Chen Yuanzhong up, and laughed sharply: "Kill, kill all these Xuan dogs! Kill them!" Ya, haha..."

After laughing twice, the Gu Shi broke in two and fell to the ground.

A tall figure appeared in the night, bursts of murderous aura billowed in the flames.

Xu Zhiqiong struggled to get up, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, stand up straight, Qianhu is here!"
