One person guards the lonely city, invincible in the world

Chapter 21 He is at Yumen Pass, and he is mad [still two in one chapter]

Waking of Insects, the third watch.

On the Observatory of the Chu State, the girl in the black Taoist robe closed her eyes and rested her mind, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly with her breathing.

The 64 hexagrams at the base of the platform are arranged according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and there are also tortoise shells and a yellow flag, on which a symbol of peeping into the sky is painted.

The most special thing is the three-legged wooden crow beside her, with a small bell in its mouth.

Si Tianjian's colleagues looked dignified.

Two months had passed, and Li Ping vowed to find out where the man was, and he would not hesitate to move the treasure passed down from his ancestors.

unexpected.

The yellow flag folded without wind, and the flagpole was cut into two sections.

"Quickly seal the hexagram!" The young supervisor urged sharply.

The girl was unmoved, drops of blood dripped from her eyes, seeped from her delicate nose and dried up again, and so on.

"Li Ping, seal the hexagram immediately!" The warlocks were horrified, their lifespans were reversed, and one drop of blood was reduced by one year.

ding ding.

The small Wukou bell made a clear and clear sound.

Li Ping opened his eyes suddenly, staring at the three-legged Mu Wu, the Mu Wu turned rhythmically, and the speed became faster and faster.

"West, Fuyaofeng." The young supervisor murmured.

"The map of Shenzhou!" Li Ping urged hoarsely with a pale face.

The young prisoner quickly walked up to the base of the platform, handed her the map, and finally sighed:
"The year 13."

"The civilization of the Central Plains is facing life and death, so why should I cherish my 13-year life span?"

"The fate of the Tang Dynasty, which has been falling for decades, has risen because of him, and he deserves it."

After Li Ping finished speaking, he rubbed his tired head, and then immersed himself in observing the map of Shenzhou.

The young prisoner was silent.

Yes, maybe the person in the painting hasn't done anything earth-shattering, but at least it brought a glimmer of hope to Datang.

Although they are loyal to the Southern Chu regime, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and they are part of the civilization of the Central Plains.

It doesn't matter who wins the Shenzhou tripod in the end. Now that the powerful barbarians are entrenched, if the civilization of the Central Plains dies, who will have the face to see their ancestors after death?
"Is it in Xishu? But Xishu doesn't blow the wind of Fuyao." A warlock was confused.

Li Ping's eyes sparkled, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "The strong wind is slanting from southwest to northeast, the terrain is low and flat, and the desolation and openness is the wind."

"here!"

She pointed to a certain spot on the map, and said firmly and decisively: "Yumen Pass."

"He's at Yumen Pass!"

Si Tianjian and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

The gateway from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, the border between Northern Liang and the barbarians?

"Could it be that a certain general from Beiliang bravely killed the barbarian?" the young prison guessed.

"The fortune of the Tang Dynasty." The warlock beside him reminded him in a low voice.

"Although he is a general in Beiliang, his heart is in the Tang Dynasty. How did this lead to changes in the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty?" Although the young supervisor had doubts, he looked determined.

Everyone nodded.

This is the most reasonable guess.

Since ancient times, Yumen Pass has been a pass that symbolizes the rise and fall of China's honor and disgrace.

It was recorded there that the Central Plains was supremely glorious, that the champion Hou Huo Qubing sealed off the wolf as his Xu, and that all nations made a pilgrimage to Chang'an through Yumen Pass; it was also tragic and desolate, as how many soldiers from the Central Plains looked at Yumen Pass before they died.

Perhaps only the majestic Yumen Pass will be the birth of a person who can save the national destiny of the Central Plains.

"Go back and rest." The young prisoner looked at Li Ping worriedly.

The girl hummed.

One of the sorcerers hesitated to speak, but finally decided not to say anything, only to laugh.

He suddenly thought of the Four Towns of Anxi, because his great-grandfather used to be a member of the Anxi Army and was transferred back to the Central Plains due to military affairs.

Anxi definitely no longer exists. They have been cut off from news for more than 60 years, and they are in the hinterland of the barbarians.

If it still exists, it is no longer a miracle, but an epic myth and legend.

The most pitiful soldiers in the world are the Eighth Regiment of Anxi, who were ordered to garrison the territory of the Western Regions to contain the countries of the Western Regions for the Central Plains. Unexpectedly, the rise of the barbarians was so terrifying that the ashes of those great soldiers who defended the border could not come back.

"What do you want to say?" The young supervisor glanced at him.

"No." Warlock shook his head.

The key Western Regions are not booming either.

……

Changan.

Ganlu Temple.

Pei Jingshu walked into the palace, and saw the noble and elegant empress standing in front of the window, depressed.

His Majesty is used to being alone, wandering and sighing from time to time, and seldom take the initiative to talk to people.

Only when she occasionally looked at the portrait of Yu An, would there be a hint of light in her eyes.

However, that look was extremely weak and fleeting.

"Your Majesty, Li Ping found out that the person in the portrait is at Yumen Pass." Pei Jingshu brought good news.

The empress stared straight at her, her tone was fast and urgent:

"Tell Gao Chaoen to see you!"

"Yes." The maid took the order and left.

"Is it Yumen Pass?" the Empress was puzzled.

"With this hexagram, Li Ping's life will be shortened by 13 years." Pei Jingshu said softly.

The Empress lowered her brows slightly, the sadness in her eyes flashed away, and she stared out of the window in a daze:

"What have you done?"

"I don't even know your name, I'm sorry."

"The precarious civilization of the Central Plains needs a hero to boost its vitality."

Pei Jingshu nodded silently. To change the fate of the country, she must have done a great thing, leading troops to kill three thousand enemies?Or is it an innate talent in martial arts?

Your deeds cannot go unnoticed. This disaster-stricken nation urgently needs to rekindle its fighting spirit.

In a short time, a eunuch in a python robe with a full head of white hair and a stooped figure stepped into the palace.

"Your Majesty." He saluted respectfully.

The Empress looked at him:
"The portrait man is at Yumen Pass, no matter how long it takes, you have to find him."

Gao Chaoen nodded heavily, a smile appeared on his stiff face:
"Find him, and the miscellaneous family will take off his shoes."

The empress twitched the corners of her lips and smiled.

It was a very faint smile, but it peeled off like a chrysalis cocoon wrapped in layers with a light click, revealing the moving butterfly wings.

Pei Jingshu hadn't seen His Majesty show such a happy smile for a long time.

Gao Chaoen was amusing His Majesty.

He is the adopted son of Gao Lishi, a loyal official through the ages, and is now over 100 years old.

The source of this interesting story is that Gao Lishi took off the poet Li Bai's shoes in public in the past.

"Farewell, Miscellaneous." Gao Chaoen turned and left Ganlu Hall.

Stepping out of the hall, the figure hovered in the air.

……

Holy city, temples of bronze.

The atmosphere on the round table was dead silent, and the scalps of the twelve judges were numb, staring at the hideously twisted heads in the sandalwood box.

"Your Majesty, that's it." The dusty inspector finished his report and retreated to the outer hall.

Mandi squeezed his hands creakingly, slapped the armrest of the throne with a fist, and roared:
"frenzied!!"

"Yue Jiuling's human nature is distorted! She is the most hateful executioner in the Kingdom of God!"

The judges were silent.

Hu Yanshou lowered his head firmly, not daring to look at the terrifying head, he always felt that the eyes of the old witch were staring at him.

As he wished, in his frightening plan, he finally closed the lid.

The road leading to the isolated city is piled up with corpses of ordinary people, almost touching the sky, which is unlucky for a normal person, let alone a pampered inspector, it is even more impossible to go there.

The point is that the old witch has a reputation for bloodthirsty and viciousness, and the massacre is in line with her character. If it were Zhe Lansu, the center would definitely suspect this.

"Throw this dirty poisonous snake to the dogs!" Mandi roared angrily, and then roared:

"Who will sanction the seven thousand li territory?"

The twelve judges were silent, none of them wanted to recommend their cronies.

Hundreds of thousands of innocent people died tragically, and the evil spirit is too heavy to easily affect the mind. Besides, the old witch broke up all order, and the new sanctioners have to rebuild there, so it is difficult to make political achievements.

Unfortunately, who wants to go?
"Your Majesty, the veteran recommends Zhe Lansu." A judge with a high nose bridge and brown eyes said respectfully.

Hu Yanshou's heart was suddenly grasped by an invisible hand.

It's over, isn't it?

The one who deserves to be hacked to death is the old dog Zhelan, but this old dog will definitely refuse to accept the order, and the trouble will be out of control by then.

"Your Majesty, this person is rebellious and murdered the princess. If the official is reinstated so quickly, it may cause public dissatisfaction."

Hu Yanshou said seriously.

"That makes sense." Mandi nodded, glanced at the round table, and said in a deep voice:
"Put it aside for a while and discuss it later."

Hu Yanshou tried his best to restrain his mood swings, and praised: "Your Majesty is a sage."

This was the most favorable outcome, and it also meant that it was time for him to deal with the lonely city Gu Chang'an.

Damn old dog Zhelan, he runs like a real beast!
The Emperor Man looked at him for a long while, with a sullen tone:
"Huyan Aiqing, I have observed that you have been depressed recently."

Hu Yanshou shuddered, and sighed in a hurry:

"The children are mediocre, and the minister has been struggling with family affairs recently."

After experiencing such a destructive failure, no matter how vigorous he was, he was completely worn out. He couldn't sleep all day and night, and his soul drifted to the lonely city seven thousand miles away.

"Cheer up!!" Mandi shouted coldly, slowly got up from the throne, and said arrogantly:

"The great cause has not been accomplished, you should do your best. When the Supreme Kingdom of God annexes the Central Plains, everyone here will accept the glory of the abyss of heaven!"

The crowd looked passionate and powerfully said:
"Long live the heavenly gods!"

……

Back at the mansion, Hu Yanshou learned another bad news.

"Father, according to reports from Southern Chu spies, there is an astrologer watching the sky at night, and the man who changed Tang's fate is at Yumen Pass."

In the quiet study room, Hu Yanjing's voice trembled violently.

Earlier in Tang State, there was a portrait circulating everywhere, which was exactly the same as the Gu Changan he had learned about! !

"It's Li Ping, that stinky bitch!" Hu Yanshou was short of breath, his expression twisted, and he lay on the chair looking up at the ceiling as if suffocated.

We are getting closer and closer to the truth, how long can we keep the lid on?

Seeing his father's terrified appearance, Hu Yanjing comforted him instead:
"The most talented sorcerer in the East is nothing more than that. Hehe, the Han slaves are seven thousand miles away in the Western Regions."

Snapped!
The sudden slap, Hu Yanshou slapped it hard again, suppressing his anger and roaring:
"idiot!"

"It means that the empire is favored by heaven, and everything outside the Yumen Pass is covered, otherwise you think she can't see it?"

Hu Yanjing was startled, and panicked: "What if..."

"Yeah, if her divination ability goes a step further and competes with the sky, then your father and my head will also be paraded along the street."

Hu Yanshou smiled miserably, his head was muddled.

When the world tells the first lie, it has to make up for it with countless lies. Now he is deeply in the fire pit, desperately trying to extinguish it, but the fire is already like a prairie fire.

Hu Yanjing was stiff all over, her limbs were cold.

Recently, he has been frantically filling up the history books of the Eastern Central Plains, and even read the history of the Western Byzantine Empire. Although Byzantium disappeared and turned to the Great Barbarian Empire long ago, there have been many outstanding people there.

He wanted to see where the limit of his own power was.

Tossing and turning, he was afraid.

No matter how great a character is, compared with the Hannu in the isolated city, they seem to be ashamed.

Dongtu might have thought that the person in the painting had just done a decent thing, but if he really knew what the Hannu had endured along the way, the entire land of Shenzhou would be shaken.

"Before the end of the road, the Central Plains doesn't know, and the empire doesn't know either. This old man will eliminate Gu Changan at all costs, and create traces that this person has never existed before."

Hu Yanshou muttered to himself, his expression was unprecedentedly fierce!
……

"Sprout."

"How about you sprout?"

The red robed man with disheveled hair was holding a peach branch. He really wanted to see the bright red peach petals again, but no matter what, it just didn't sprout.

Gu Changan can only pray, even if he can only pray to the gods now, not to hurt his relatives in the city again.

Why can't the plague stop?

Why is the bloody smell coming from the strong wind, bringing a rancid and unpleasant smell, as if the disaster that the isolated city has endured is not enough.

He didn't know that there were hundreds of thousands of corpses piled up five hundred miles away, he only knew that the sky was always scarlet, and the sky and the earth were filled with an aura that drove him crazy.

The so-called cultivation in the new world is mostly based on the power of heaven and earth. He doesn't know that it is evil energy, he only knows that it can become stronger by practicing it.

Gu Changan refined it.

He was afraid that the Buddhist altar would not be enough to clean the gas machine, so he chose to refine it by himself, so as not to affect those weak relatives.

"I'm really going crazy." Gu Changan moved his lips.

He can clearly feel his chaotic thoughts, those auras keep him falling madly.

When the day comes that he doesn't know that he is crazy, he will be a complete lunatic.

A long time ago, how long?When he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, he was looking forward to the emergence of a savior in the Central Plains to save this suffering territory.

At that time, I should be full of vigor, standing on the top of the city like a god of war, and accepting the admiration and worship of the Chinese nation.

The so-called youthful spirit should be like this.

But now he is numb, and he no longer believes that anyone can take over the torch he held high.

But there is still a glimmer of hope deep in the soul, what if it really exists?
How sad it would be if I went crazy and couldn't tell whether the visitor was a barbarian or my hometown.

"If you are not a lunatic, how can you defend this city?"

Gu Chang'an smiled, and continued to refine the Heaven and Earth Qi Mechanism.
