A hundred flavors of life

The one who killed Qin Ming and Huang Xin was naturally Hua Twelve. At this time, he was covered in black scarf and dressed as a bandit.

In fact, Hua Twelve didn't want to take action at first. He put on bandit clothes and took advantage of the night to stand on a turret in Qingzhou City, first to watch the show and second to rob the formation for everyone in Liangshan.

But Chao Gai and others were helpless. As soon as the Liangshan Army troops swarmed in, it should be a situation where Qin Ming and Huang Xin could block the remaining 2,000 or 3,000 people in Qingzhou. It's on the main street.

Originally, tens of thousands of Liangshan troops faced two to three thousand Qingzhou defenders. No matter how you thought about it, it was definitely one-sided. However, the main street was so wide. The two sides faced each other. No matter how many Liangshan troops there were, they were all at the back. Those who faced the official army were only the few hundred people in the front. In this way, under the overall situation, a small battlefield where the two sides are temporarily evenly matched is formed.

Qin Ming obviously wanted to take the opportunity to kill the bandit leader. When the time comes, the bandits will be leaderless and become headless flies. No matter how many people there are without command, they will not be able to defeat the official army.

In fact, even in this situation, Liangshan still has an advantage, because among the Liangshan leaders, except for the three heroes of the Ruan family who are not good at land warfare, who stayed in Liangshanbo to look after the family business this time, Chao Gai, Liu Tang, and Suo Chao, these three can fight They are all here, but in a three-on-two situation, they are being suppressed and beaten by others, and are surrounded by dangers. This makes Hua Twelve feel terrible.

Qin Ming alone suppressed the two horse leaders Chao Gai and Suo Chao.

Chao Gai was said to be born with supernatural power, but he was only a little stronger and his martial arts was mediocre. If it hadn't been for Suo Chao's help, he would have fallen to Qin Ming's mace long ago.

Liu Tang is even worse. He is good at foot combat. When faced with Huang Xin who is riding a horse and wielding a two-handed mourning sword, this guy can't even get close to the horse. He can only be beaten and beaten, dodging left and right. , so embarrassed.

Hua Twelve took a glance and found that the crowd in Liangshan was missing Ruiyunlong Gongsun Sheng. He didn't know where this guy had gone. Seeing that the great situation in Liangshan was about to be curbed, he finally couldn't help but let fly out from the turret. The sword instantly took away the heads of Qin Ming and Huang Xin.

When Qin Ming and Huang Xin died, the three suppressed Liangshan leaders were startled and then overjoyed.

Chao Gai had people pick up the heads of Qin Ming and Huang Xin, put them on spears, raised them high, and shouted: "The Qingzhou defender is dead, brothers, come and kill me!"

For a time, the Liangshan Army's momentum surged. The Qingzhou defenders had no intention of fighting anymore and were instantly defeated.

Seeing that the situation was complete, Hua Twelve wanted to make a successful retreat, but at this moment, a sense of crisis suddenly hit him. He suddenly dodged and appeared on the roof of another house in the next moment.

I saw where he was originally, a red light hit it, and suddenly broken tiles flew away, blasting a big hole in the turret, just like the marks of a cannonball.

Hua Twelve glanced around and saw a Taoist priest who looked to be in his fifties and was wearing a coarse sermon robe standing on the eaves of the city gate tower more than ten feet away.

When the Taoist saw that he missed a hit, he did not pursue him. Instead, he moved his lips, and a thunderous shout came from Hua Twelve's ears:

"Nie Zhan, what kind of scum are you? You dare to participate in human disputes without authorization and kill the imperial guards. You are so bold!"

Hua Twelve almost laughed out of anger. Who is this old man? His face didn't even turn red after the sneak attack, and he still called him evil. Is there any justice in this? Is there any royal law?

He immediately raised his middle finger to the veteran: "You are the evil one. Your whole family is the evil one. You can't afford to do a sneak attack. You little brat, you have no strength!"

A series of rap-like rhythms were sprayed out. The old man almost lost his breath after being scolded by him, blowing his beard and glaring:

"Okay, I'll take you down first, and then I'll ask your master to hold you accountable!"

After speaking, he raised his right hand and grabbed Hua Twelve from afar. He saw a ball of pure energy coming out of his hand, forming a palm the size of a wheel, like the palm of a giant, and grabbed Hua Twelve directly.

Hua Twelve snorted coldly, pointed his hand, and directly released the Heavenly Flying Sword. He saw a flash of light, and the sword light slashed straight towards the giant hand.

But at this moment, another familiar voice came to Hua Twelve’s ears:

"Don't use flying swords!"

This voice was made by Gongsun Sheng of Ruyunlong, who had not been seen since the Liangshan Army invaded Qingzhou City.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Sheng's reminder was already too late. He saw the face of the old Taoist who released his Qing Qi giant hand showing joy. He controlled the wheel giant hand and grabbed the sword's light. The sword's light immediately dispersed, revealing the body of the sky-relying flying sword inside.

No matter how hard Yitian Feijian struggled, he couldn't break free from the shackles of that palm.

Yitian Feijian lost control, but Hua Twelve was not weak at all. His figure flashed several times in succession. He had appeared in front of the old Taoist. He slashed with his right foot and used his modified "Dragon Subduing Kick Technique" to make the flying dragon in the sky. , and smashed down the door directly towards Lao Dao.

The energy stirred the air, forming a transparent dragon shape visible to the naked eye in the void.

There was a hint of surprise in the old Taoist's eyes: "Double cultivation of Taoism and martial arts?"

Although he was surprised, there was a look of disdain on the corner of the old Taoist's mouth. He waved his sleeves and rolled up his robe sleeves to disperse the dragon-shaped energy. Then with a finger, a red-light talisman shot towards Hua Twelve in the air. Shoot it, hit it directly.

After the spell hit, a raging fire instantly ignited and was about to devour Hua Twelve, but at this time an incredible scene appeared. When the fire suddenly started, Hua Twelve's figure gradually shattered, and turned out to be an afterimage.

The next moment, nine Hua Twelve appeared in front, back, left, right, and in all directions of Lao Dao at the same time. These nine figures shot at the same time, either with fists, claws, palms, or legs, or picking melons from the back of the head, or monkeys stealing peaches, and all at the same time. The old Taoist attacked.

A look of shock finally appeared on the old Taoist's face. He shook his hand and a talisman spontaneously ignited without fire. The next moment, golden light fell, covering the old Taoist in it. At the same time, the old Taoist was shocked and murmured:

"The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth has the root of all things. I have cultivated extensively for thousands of kalpas and proved my magical powers. Within and outside the three realms, only Tao is the most respected. There is golden light in my body, which reflects my body."

As soon as the golden light appeared, Hua Twelve and Eighteen's afterimages were instantly shattered, revealing his true body directly behind Lao Dao.

But at this time, Hua Twelve didn't care whether the opponent was protected by golden light or not. He waved his hands continuously and sent out eight invisible swords.

The Dao Gang hit the golden light, and a series of popping sounds were heard. At the last moment, the golden light burst, and the old Taoist was cut off by the invisible Dao Gang.

The old Taoist's body was chopped off, and a shadow flew out from his body, and the big hand that controlled the flying sword was about to escape.

At this moment, a green light shot out from the shadow of the city gate tower, hitting the shadow of the Taoist priest and freezing it. The green light revealed its true appearance, but it was a yellow talisman.

Hua Twelve waved his sword and cut the phantom in two. At the same time, Gongsun Sheng's voice came:

"Brother, show mercy!"

It's a pity that after he finished shouting, the shadow of the veteran had disappeared under the sword. That phantom was the old Taoist Yin Shen. His body, spirit and soul were dead, and the old Taoist was completely finished. The big hand of Qing Qi controlled by him dissipated. He relied on the flying sword to get out of trouble, and flew back to be taken into the body by Hua Twelve with a wave of his hand.

Turning his head to look into the shadows, he saw a figure walking out of the darkness, holding his hands with a wry smile and saying:

"Gongsun Sheng has met my brother!"

It turns out that after the city was destroyed, Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng, who had never shown up, was actually hiding here. He was the one who reminded Hua Twelve just now and issued the spell to immobilize the soul of the old Taoist.

"Brother Gongsun, you didn't attack the enemy with Chao Gai and the others, why are you hiding here!"

While Hua Twelve was talking to Gongsun Sheng, he ran to touch the corpse. The old man just now had some skills, and maybe there was something interesting left on him.

Not to mention, Hua Twelve actually touched something, a stack of talisman paper, and a rectangular stone about the size of a thumb, with a few words "Long Live the Emperor, Long Live the Emperor" engraved on it. He didn't know what it was used for. .

When Hua Twelve touched the corpse, he turned his back to Gongsun Sheng. He did this deliberately to test Rui Yunlong.

It should be said that Gongsun Sheng's performance tonight is indeed a bit strange. He was nowhere to be seen when he invaded Qingzhou, but he was hiding here, and there were also Taoist priests who sneaked up on Hua Twelve. These things happened together, and the latter could not help but feel suspicious. .

From Hua Twelve's point of view, the relationship between him and Gongsun Sheng was not stable. He did not follow him on his own initiative, but he used means to blackmail the other party. He would not be surprised if Gongsun Sheng defected before the battle or had some conspiracy.

Gongsun Sheng seemed to sense Hua Twelve's temptation. While Hua Twelve was busy touching the corpse, he took the initiative to explain:

"Brother, I don't know. People in Xuanmen must abide by Xuanmen's precepts and are not allowed to use magic to intervene in human disputes!"

Gongsun Sheng immediately explained to Hua Twelve that regardless of Buddhism or Taoism in the Central Plains, there was a common rule that it was not allowed to use magic to participate in secular disputes and court changes and other matters.

Some practitioners want to enter the court and borrow the fortune of the country to practice. This is okay. You can give sermons to the emperor, refine elixirs for dignitaries, or show your magical powers to pray for rain for the people and eliminate demons from the place. Either way.

But you cannot use magic to help the court deal with mortals, nor can you use magic to help thieves fight against the imperial court. In short, you cannot use magic to interfere with the general trend of the world.

Unless the enemy breaks the precept first and uses spells to fight against the enemy, then he can use spells to fight back and break the opponent's spells. This is considered legitimate defense. It is absolutely impossible to kill the imperial guard directly with a flying sword like Hua Twelve. Once discovered, It just breaks the rules of the spiritual world.

Therefore, when Gongsun Sheng joined Liangshan, he could make suggestions, but he could not directly participate in the war. After Liangshan invaded Qingzhou, he would stay aside and watch the show.

But Hua Twelve didn't know the rules and used the flying sword, which attracted the local practitioners in Qingzhou.

After Gongsun Sheng finished speaking, he smiled bitterly again and said: "I didn't know that my brother was also a member of Xuanmen, so I never mentioned this matter. If I had known this, I should have mentioned it to my brother, and what happened today would not have happened. !”

After Hua Twelve listened, he thought that in the original book, Gongsun Sheng was like this. He followed Liang Shan in the east and conquered the west. Unless the enemy used magic to deal with Liang Shan's army first, he would use Taoism to defeat it. Normally, he would not take the initiative to use magic. The situation of attacking ordinary people.

Immediately his doubts about Gongsun Sheng disappeared and he smiled and said: "I see, it's my fault this time!"

Gongsun Sheng pointed at the corpse of the Taoist priest: "Brother, you really shouldn't destroy his Yin Shen. This Taoist priest is the abbot of Qingzhou Xiuzhen Palace, and Taoist Master Qingyangzi is a Taoist priest who has been canonized by the royal family. His death will definitely cause troubles for us. It’s better to dispose of his body first to avoid causing any trouble!”

After hearing this, Hua Twelve did not agree: "I don't care who he is. The moment he attacked me from behind, he died. He was killed in a right way. Who can blame him? As for this corpse It’s easy to handle, let’s see what I can do.”

He took out the corpse powder prepared last time for destroying corpses and exterminating traces from his arms, and sprinkled some on the two corpses. In a short time, the two corpses were turned into yellow water, and even the clothes were not left behind. Gongsun Shengdu's hair stood on end.

The city of Qingzhou was on fire. Chao Gai was leading his men to attack the government offices, while Liu Tang was leading his men to rob the wealthy households in the city.

Hua Twelve glanced at the battle situation and saw that the big thing was done, so he did not go down to help. Instead, he showed Gongsun Sheng the stone he just touched from the corpse:

"Brother Gongsun, help me see what kind of treasure this is!"

Gongsun Sheng took it and took a look, his eyes suddenly shrank: "Brother, it's so lucky that I even got this treasure!"

Hua Twelve rolled his eyelids: "You haven't said what it is yet?"

Gongsun Sheng said hurriedly: "The Xiuzhen Palace is a royal Taoist temple. It is said that before Taizu Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, he was in trouble here and was saved by the Taoist priests in the temple. Later, when Taizu conquered the world, he gave him a stone tablet. The words "Long live the emperor" are engraved on it.

There are rumors in the cultivation world that the stone tablet was imbued with the aura of the True Dragon Emperor and was turned into a magic weapon by the master of the cultivation palace of that generation. It should be this one.

As he spoke, he tentatively channeled a burst of magic power, and sure enough, the rectangular stone lit up, emitting a harmonious golden light, but other than that, there was no other abnormality.

Gongsun Sheng shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that there is no spell to control the magic weapon, otherwise it would be a good treasure!"

Hua Twelve rolled his eyes: "What's the problem? That Qingyangzi attacked me from behind is a heinous crime. Let's go steal a house. It's not too much!"

Seeing that Chao Gai would have to be busy for a while, he immediately asked Gongsun Sheng to take him to Xiuzhen Palace to steal the house.

Although Gongsun Sheng was a Taoist priest, he also developed a bandit spirit in the world. He had not thought about it at first, but he was bewitched by Hua Twelve and he immediately started thinking about it.

Hua Twelve first went to Chao Gai and told him not to harass the common people, and then followed Gongsun Sheng to the Xiuzhen Palace.

Although the Xiuzhen Palace is a royal Taoist temple, it is actually a small temple with a two-entry courtyard and three or five Taoist priests. Except for the dead Qingyangzi, their magic power is average. Hua Twelve knocked him out with acupuncture. , the two began to confiscate the property.

Hua Twelve only looked for secret books and Taoist books, but Gongsun Sheng was even more ruthless. He even didn't let go of the peach wood sword, the yellow paper talisman, and the compass used by Kanyu. In the end, he took away all the centuries-old cinnabar offered in front of the statue. He was really not a human being. son.

Looking at the back of Gongsun Sheng busy with his bags, Hua Twelve spat fiercely: "A monk? Bah!"

Thanks to: 08a, Brother Xiao Xiaohu in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
