Chapter 749 Long River Breaks the Imperial Guard (please vote for me)

I wonder if barbarians entering China would fall into similar encounters.

Back then, when Herei was under siege by the Guichen Formation, he originally had a slight advantage. But at that time, Zhao Changhe, who had only practiced at the sixth or seventh level of Xuan Guan, did not draw the bow in the name of King Daozhong. He Lei thought that a strong man from the Earth Ranking was drawing the bow, which caused great pressure. So he was restrained everywhere, and eventually he was injured and escaped, laying the lead to his death.

And this time it's very similar.

Yue Hongling is a famous knight in the world, and Suzaku is just openly on the mission. It is normal for them to see the leader of the Hu people starting a fight here. There is no way for the Li family to openly deviate from each other, otherwise they will never be able to distance themselves from the Hu people. Cleared.

But he, Zhao Changhe, could not draw his sword and stepped forward to help. Once it is revealed that Zhao Changhe is here, not to mention Jiuyou will definitely take action, and the Li family can immediately besieged by an army. No matter what the popularity of the people is, as long as Zhao Changhe is killed, the Han Dynasty will fall apart in an instant, and the world will be at your fingertips.

Therefore, Zhao Changhe could not be exposed in close combat and could only draw his bow to help. Only a few people had seen his Dragon Soul Bow and Arrow, so he could still use it. At this time, random shooting of arrows may cause trouble to Zhuque Yue Hongling. The method used to deal with He Lei earlier is still the most suitable.

Bows and arrows are always most threatening when they are drawn but not fired.

In Bo'e's perception, the bow and arrow over there were chasing the soul, faintly exuding an extremely frightening aura. He had no doubt that once he was hit by this arrow, no body-building method could resist it. Even the powerful supernatural powers like this can't even hope to be able to bear it.

The threat of the bow and arrow alone seemed more terrifying than the two women besieging him at the moment. At least half of Bo'er's mind was focused on guarding against the bow and arrow, and his eyes would glance over there from time to time.

Zhuque Yue Hongling, on the other hand, felt extremely comfortable in the fight. The smell of the bow and arrow over there could even make them tremble with fear and their scalps would go numb. But knowing that it was their own men, why did they care about it? The two of them didn't even look at it, and just beat them roundly.

With this combination, the two of them looked a little weird without realizing it.

Sure enough, the previous hunch was reasonable...the two people's skills felt conflicting.

Suzaku Xuanwu even doubted whether the existence of the Japanese Emperor would be the intention of the Great Sun Tathagata. Later, he withdrew his doubts because he could not feel any conflict with the Buddhist techniques. However, Yue Hongling really does have one here.

It can be clearly felt that if the two sides are in opposition, there is an obvious intention to restrain each other. What's interesting is that it's not opposition at this time, it's cooperation. The result is a sense of complementary bonus, which is far stronger than normal cooperation.

What a hell, Tang Wanzhuang and I are at odds with each other. We have been enemies all our lives, but we have never had this kind of mutual conflict and complementarity. You, who specializes in playing swords, have no attributes, and you are just as stupid as me, and yet we actually complement each other!

The two women felt strange in their hearts. Being caught in the middle and being beaten randomly, Bo felt extremely uncomfortable.

Don't look at the messy writing in the book of troubled times that made the world laugh. In fact, he is truly the second best in the world. He is indeed in the late stage of the first level of imperial realm and is about to reach perfection. He is not afraid of anyone in the world except Xia Longyuan. And one of these two women is not very stable when they first enter the imperial realm, and although the other is stronger, she is far from the mid-level level. It can be said that even if she fights one against two normally, she has a chance of winning.

As a result, the two of them now teamed up to form an inexplicable formation. He actually felt that he might not be able to defeat one against two! In addition, the arrow that was drawn but not fired took away half of the mental defense. The more he fought, the harder he was to fight. He was already at a disadvantage within a few moves.

It is difficult to run away. In this kind of chaos, it is not easy for the archer to release the arrow. There is a possibility of accidental injury. Once he runs away, that moment is the best opportunity to shoot the arrow, which is extremely dangerous.

What's annoying is that none of his subordinates have the strength to participate in this battle and share a little bit.

While Bo'e was worried, Jiuyou, the leader of the Li Family Palace, stood on the roof, looking at the battle situation from a distance and frowning.

It's a shame that Ying Wu was messing with business, Xue Xiao went to deal with him, Huang Shang was in Hangu preparing to find something for the Yang family, Feng Yin was guarding against Suzaku in southern Shanxi, and as a result, all the Suzaku people were here. If he doesn't take action, no other strong person will be able to get involved in this kind of battle situation in a short period of time.

But he didn't want to take action openly. So far, Dao Zun Bo Xun has not stood on the stage. How come he has been standing on the stage for a long time, and the biggest celebrity is the first to step down and personally participate in the mortal war... Someone must be there. I kept observing in secret, fearing that I would laugh so hard that I would roll from the night sky into the mud. Forget it, if she finds the opportunity to do something, it will be troublesome. Jiuyou doesn't believe that the guy will not recover, and he doesn't know what big chess he is playing.

Yes, from the beginning to the end, the main reason why many gods and demons, including Jiuyou, dare not appear in the world randomly is because they are worried about a certain blind man. They are all thinking about what big plans and conspiracies that blind man has. Who knows that she follows him every day? When I see someone being affectionate around a man, I get so angry that I can’t do anything about it...

Jiuyou pondered for a moment and whispered to the people around him: "Go and tell Kong Shi that if he takes action, we will help him again."

Someone on the left and right said: "Kongshi Buddhism is competing with Yuxu for the hearts of the people. If he openly helps the Hu people, he will stop fighting...will he be willing to take action?"

"The people's hearts are empty, and the support of the imperial power is the most important. What's more, the people's memory is very poor... Just tell him, he will know the choice."

"Yes."

A moment later, a Buddha's call rang out in the center of the battle: "Amitabha... If you are fighting fiercely in the busy city, you may accidentally injure the people, which is against the harmony of nature. I have come to resolve the fight. I hope you will give me a good deal."

The words sounded very nice, but a ray of Buddha's light fiercely stamped on Suzaku's back, but it was murderous and extremely cruel, and its target was directly aimed at Suzaku's life!

"Stretch!" The arrow was like a shooting star, and it arrived before the sound was heard.

Zhao Changhe immediately shot an arrow and released it!

Kong Shi was well prepared, and with a movement that completely went against the common sense of physics, he suddenly flew back while advancing, and disappeared with an arrow grazing his face.

Taking advantage of Zhao Changhe's arrow, Bo'e found an opportunity, quickly deflected Yue Hongling and Suzaku's offensive, and escaped.

His laughter came from the wind: "It's ridiculous. Chang'an is busy, and Zhao Changhe's women are besieging his guests. Is this what Guan Long Yinghao wants to achieve by introducing Buddhism? What a big joke!"

The intention is to ridicule the Li family, you don't want to be my grandson, you are trying to balance everything, but the final result is like being Zhao Changhe's grandson, letting people run around in the busy city, and you have no way to do it. Can you be more honest and listen to our Saibei Langqi, we can still help you become the lord of the Central Plains. Otherwise, when Zhao Changhe comes, your Chang'an will be his capital.

Jiuyou stood calmly on the roof, as if he didn't hear anything. These words were like the wind blowing in her face, and they had no impact on her.

Her eyes fell on "Qin Jiu" who was shot in the air, and her right hand subconsciously rubbed her trouser leg.

You're pretty good at cumming, little brother... You still dare to show up in front of me. Do you really think I can't kill you?

At this time, Zhuque Yue Hongling surrounded Kong Shi angrily. Yue Hongling pointed her sword angrily: "The Buddhist saint monk actually colluded with the barbarians. How can he go to see the Buddha!"

Kong Shi smiled nonchalantly and said: "In the eyes of the Buddha, all living beings are equal, how can there be such a thing as a bastard?"

Suzaku condensed flames in his hands and sneered: "Then you die for him!"

"Honorable Sir, you are just an envoy. This is Chang'an, but it is not your capital." A large group of armored soldiers roared around the long street. Li Boping finally led his elite troops to block the surrounding area, and said with a slight smile: "Bo'e is hiding This king did not know about the embassy in advance. Therefore, Yuenvxia and the Venerable attacked in anger, and I did not intervene... But now that Bo'e has left, Master Kongshi is a Buddhist holy monk, and outsiders are not allowed to shout and kill. .”

"This king" means that he established himself as the king of Qin. But these words first clear up the issue of colluding with the barbarians. Whether it can be cleared up is another matter. It has to be said this way. As for Buddhism taking action, that is because Buddhism itself believes that all living beings are equal and has nothing to do with us. If you want to take action against Buddhism, it means killing our holy monks in Chang'an, and we will take care of it.

This is political logic. No matter how stupid you are, there is always a rationale to explain. Unless you make a fool of yourself, there is no way for officials to continue saying anything.

But it's hard for them to talk, so there are others who can talk. Yuxu floated in the distance, and stood on the roof and saluted: "In this case, it is better to choose a day than to hit it. Today, Chang'an is watching, scholars and people are all here, and the old Taoist plans to start a Buddhist and Taoist debate again to see if Hu can be let go in front of the public. How many people support the 'Holy Monk' who is the leader of the people?"

The battle here just started suddenly and ended quickly, and Yuxu didn't have time to participate. But in the aftermath, politics cannot take action, but religion can. In the name of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, we can take the opportunity to expel Buddhism from Chang'an in one go. There was a rare murderous intent in Yuxu's eyes, and he secretly thought that even if you used your "discussing martial arts" mode yesterday, you would still have to accomplish this in one battle.

Kong Shi laughed and said: "You accuse me of colluding with the enemy chiefs, but I say that the real person openly colluded with the hypocrites in front of the King of Qin and all the nobles in Chang'an. It is said that the real person didn't know who he was fighting with last night, and then there was The Suzaku Fire fell in the alley. The Reverend Suzaku did not come as an envoy today at all, but he arrived yesterday. I don’t know what he secretly discussed with the real person first, and then he came to act again today."

Li Boping's eyes fell on Yuxu's face and he said nothing.

Both sides are suspected of "colluding with outsiders", which seems to be "offset".

In the dispute between religion and people's hearts, one side stands for the simple people's hearts and the other side stands for the rule of the Li family. If there were a vote, Yuxu would win completely. Unfortunately, it didn't depend on voting. If the ruler chose the angle, Kong Shi would win completely.

The scene was a little quiet for a while, except for the fire in Honglu Temple nearby, which had not yet been extinguished and made a sound. No one was interested in putting out the fire. Everyone, including the soldiers, was savoring the current situation, mostly sighing in their hearts.

During this period of silence, a figure that was almost ignored by people leaped over from the rooftop nearby and stood in the scene: "Is this... King Qin?"

Li Boping turned to Zhao Changhe and said calmly: "Who are you?"

Zhao Changhe smiled: "I think the first thing King Qin should do now is to put out the fire, otherwise the fire will spread and there will be a big disaster." Li Boping also smiled. He didn't put out the fire at the first time, of course because he wanted the victims to put out the fire. The anger was locked on Suzaku, after all, she was the one who set the fire. But no one mentioned it, so he couldn't pretend not to hear it, so he waved his hand and said, "Put out the fire."

"Yes." The surrounding soldiers quickly carried buckets to put out the fire.

Yue Hongling glanced at Zhao Changhe with joy in her eyes. This feeling of being able to cooperate in one place at the same time without an appointment was so wonderful. Only he would put out the fire as his first reaction in this situation.

Suzaku was also looking at Zhao Changhe, but his eyes were unhappy. You said you wanted to change your clothes and put on a different face before going out. What are you doing now? You are seeking death. Jiuyou must be watching from the side!

But I saw Zhao Changhe slowly saying: "As for who I am, many people actually saw it yesterday... In the Louguan Pavilion, Master Kong Shi challenged Master Yuxu, and I took action. I think many people can see that, and so do I. Buddhist disciples.”

Li Boping said calmly: "What do you want to say? Do Buddhists also draw bows and participate in the battles of barbarians, or do Buddhists also shoot arrows at their own holy monks?"

"My own holy monk? That depends on whether you recognize him or not." Zhao Changhe chuckled: "Formal introduction, I am a Buddhist lay disciple Qin Jiu, on the order of Abbot Yuancheng, went to Chang'an to investigate the demonic way of pretending to be a Buddhist holy monk. "

Countless people were watching the excitement here from rooftops. After hearing this, people were stunned for a moment, and the next moment the crowd was in an uproar.

I thought it was a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but I didn’t expect that it also involved internal strife within Buddhism!

Yes, this Master Kong Shi suddenly appeared after Yuan Cheng left some time ago. I had never heard of this person before. Yuan Cheng, who was in Xiangyang, heard the news, realized something was wrong, and sent his trusted disciples to investigate. This was very normal.

But is Kongshi the devil? Don’t just say this without evidence!

"This grand-nephew of Master..." Kong Shi chuckled: "Master couldn't bear the pressure and gave up on Chang'an. But when he turned around, he knew that Chang'an Buddhism was flourishing again under the leadership of Lao Na. He felt unwilling to accept it. This is understandable. But It’s too much to just talk empty talk and slander your master’s uncle as a demon.”

"Whether it is a demon or not, you will know after a fight. Under the Buddha's light, there is no way for demons and monsters to hide." Zhao Changhe slowly drew out the Galaxy Sword and pointed at Kong Shi from a distance: "Qin Jiu, a disciple of the Buddhist sect, challenges Master Kong Shi. This Buddhist sect This is an internal matter and outsiders should not interfere.”

Even Yue Hongling and Zhuque could not imagine such an unfolding, and others were even more stunned and excited.

Today's onlookers are not in vain. The two countries are sending envoys, the chivalrous women are assassinating, the disputes between Hu and Han, Buddhism and Taoism, and internal strife among Buddhism are all twists and turns. It is really exciting!

Li Boping didn't know how to stop this "Buddhist internal affairs", so he could only twitch the corner of his mouth: "It's good for young people to suffer a little loss if they are angry."

After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to retreat to make room for the Buddhist internal affairs.

Everyone quickly retreated, leaving Zhao Changhe and Kong Shi standing opposite each other.

Kong Shi looked at Zhao Changhe's sword with surprise and uncertainty in his eyes. This black sword, you said you are a disciple of Buddhism? There is no such strange sword in Buddhism. It is enough to say that you are a demon...

It is true that not many people have seen the Galaxy Sword. It has never been seen in ancient times and only appeared in this world. Even Jiuyou has not seen it. The Desolate Wind and Snow Owl that he has seen are not here. Therefore, Zhao Changhe did not dare to pull out the Dragon Bird but dared to use the Galaxy Sword. . This sword looks pitch black and does not look like a Buddhist utensil. However, no one among the many experts here can see that there is any demonic intent in this sword. On the contrary, it is vast and ethereal, as quiet as the night, exuding the charm of blending with the way of heaven, and faintly. It has the solemnity and majesty of the sky.

This is definitely not a magic weapon, but a divine weapon.

Jiuyou's heart skipped a beat.

Where did this sword come from, and why does it look like that woman?

Zhao Changhe himself was actually a little helpless. This sword was obviously going to provoke Jiuyou even more. Anyway, Qin Jiu didn't dare to use his face. As long as he could run away this time, he wouldn't need this face in the future. This isn't a problem now. The problem is that just now I didn't dare to get close to him for fear of exposing my secrets. What now? Blind, you must be strong. You won't take action in the battle with barbarians. This is a battle between gods and demons. You should have some expressions, right?

The thought flashed through his mind, he always had to fight, and although this attack was temporary, he had his own intention. Zhao Changhe took a deep breath and said slowly: "Master, pay attention."

"Whoosh!" The Galaxy Sword pierced the void and reached his throat in the blink of an eye.

In the eyes of others, everyone was secretly glancing at Yue Hongling from the corner of their eyes.

Yes, this sword is very similar to Yue Hongling's sword intention, just like the brilliant rays of light in the sky spilling out, blooming on the horizon, and then returning to silence, the last light in the line between sea and sky, and darkness above and below.

The Sunset Divine Sword is not just the Sunset Divine Sword.

Instead, it enters the night after sunset, confronting, yet continuing.

Day and night rotate, time and space are eternal.

"Imperial!" Li Boping, Wei Changming and others who were knowledgeable around him blurted out subconsciously: "This man is merging his sword intent before the battle, and he is actually breaking the imperial guard before the battle!"

"Cang!" Kong Shi struck the sword with his bare hands.

The sharpness of this divine sword made him extremely cautious. With the golden bell that he simulated exactly like the real Buddha, he did not even dare to face the blade directly. I just thought he was a stupid young man who didn't know how to live or die, but damn, he turned out to be a pervert holding a divine sword and still breaking the law. How could there be so many perverts in this world!

The palms and swords intersected, making a crisp sound, and brilliant golden light bloomed at the point of collision, making many onlookers unable to open their eyes.

In the eyes of those who could see it, a huge image of the Buddha appeared behind Kong Shi. The Buddha glared angrily and majestically pressed down on the little ant in front of him.

How could this be the devil's way? He really is the Buddha... This thought comes to many people's minds.

On the other hand, "Qin Jiu" seemed to be unable to withstand such a powerful force and was retreating. What's strange is that every time he takes a step back, the shadow of a lotus flower floats on the ground with his footsteps. After taking a few steps, the ground looks like a lotus pond.

Lotus grows every step of the way!

This is also a true Buddhist!

Only Zhuque Yue Hongling secretly pouted, "You are so happy and blissful, it seems like that... don't want us to sit on the lotus platform next time."

"Ka!" Zhao Changhe stopped, and as the largest lotus flower bloomed, the flowers bloomed all over the sky, reaching up to the sky.

There seemed to be other phenomena appearing faintly in the void, beginning to respond to the lotus of the earth.

People looked up and saw that in this foggy winter sky, the sun could not be seen originally. But at this moment, the clouds broke through and the sun shone. For a moment, they could not tell whether this was an illusion of the Dharma or a real big sun caused by the influence of the weather. out.

The sword opens the gate of heaven, and the scorching sun rises across the sky!

I am the Buddha!

"Whoa!" Under the scorching sun, Zhao Changhe stepped forward again and pierced Kong Shi's face door with his sword again.

With this sword coming out, the celestial phenomena changed again.

It seemed as if the sky was opening up along with the trajectory of the sword, and countless stars lit up in the daytime, forming an endless galaxy with the light of the sword. The Milky Way pours down, the sun and the moon shine together.

Since you are already the sun and moon, why not control this galaxy!

In the image of watching the cooperation between Yue Hongling and Suzaku, Zhao Changhe finally took the step that he had been stuck on.

Zhao Changhe defeated the emperor in battle!

The Milky Way pours into the sky for nine days, rushing towards the huge phantom of Buddha. Buddha pushes his palm to reject this torrent. On the ground, Kong Shi quickly closed his hands and clamped the Galaxy Sword in his palms.

The bright golden light exploded for miles around, and Chang'an was covered in golden color.

In the eyes of everyone, this Qin Jiu is very awesome, but it seems to be a bit inconsistent with his original intention of going to war - he wants to expose Kong Shi as a demon, but this scene doesn't look like it, and instead makes Kong Shi a real person. The image of the Buddha is more specific than Qin Jiu's image of the great sun.

However, in the center of the battle that no one could see, the ferocious and devilish look on Kong Shi's face flashed across his face, and ripples suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The illusion of demons is invading.
