Taoist temple that will cross

Chapter 112 (Three Chapters in One)

"This"

Xu Chu hesitated.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Cao Yi, but that he is not the kind of person who pins his hopes on others.

"go"

Cao Cao's face darkened, and he uttered a word without any doubt.

Xu Chu was helpless, clasped his fists, and rushed over with some soldiers.

The fighting outside, which was already very intense, suddenly increased several times.

A fierce general, especially a peerless fierce general like Xu Chu, is very high in both his own killing ability and his ability to inspire soldiers.

"I haven't eaten green plums yet"

Cao Yi picked up a green plum from the lacquerware and smiled faintly.It seemed that the killing outside was just a passing cloud.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia each took a green plum, and there was a sound in their throats that is unique to sour fruits.

"It's been a while since I took it off, not sour"

As Cao Yi said, he took a bite.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia took a bite at the same time and found that it was not sour.

Compared with the calm three people, Guo Yi, who was just a child, was far behind, and kept looking out.

Cao Yi took out a long flute with many small cracks on the surface, turned his head and asked, "Are you scared?"

"Who's afraid?"

The youthful Guo Yi immediately changed into another face.

Cao Yi smiled slightly, turned his eyes to a qin placed behind Guo Jia, and asked, "Is the qin Boyi's, or the one for offering wine?"

When Guo Yi came yesterday, he brought a long wooden box with him, needless to say, it contained this piano.

"The name of this piano is Duyou, which was loved by a certain person during his lifetime"

After Guo Jia said that, he got up and took the qin, and put it on his knees.

A pair of slender and white hands gently stroked on the strings, as if touching a lover, and beautiful notes sounded.

"There is a piece of music here in Pindao, it's called "The Song of the Tide of the Sea"..."

Cao Yi introduced the tune.

Guo Jia is a master in rhythm, he only listened to it once and remembered it.

Of course, what he remembered was only the surface.

……

On the outskirts of the green plum grove, among hundreds of plums with red leaves, Xu Chu, who is Kongwu and powerful, fought hard.

His surroundings, within a few feet, had been reduced to a dead zone, with mutilated corpses and wailing sounds everywhere.

boom!
A burly assassin, who should be particularly capable of fighting, was smashed in the head by Xu Chu and fell heavily to the ground.

The surviving assassins around them backed away in fright.

"Kill Cao Thief"

"Kill Cao Thief"

……

The assassin behind was like a tidal wave, screaming hysterically to kill, holding up their weapons fearlessly, and rushed over.

He collided with nearly a thousand soldiers where Xu Chu was, and the fight became even more brutal.

Suddenly, a quiet piano sounded.

The sound was so small that the people who were busy killing didn't notice it.

After a few breaths, a long Xiao sound sounded, the sound seemed to flow through the water in the heart.

It left many people in a trance.

As time passed, the sound of the Xiao was mixed with the sound of the piano, becoming more and more quiet and clear, and the scene of the sea kept flashing in the eyes of many people.

Most people in this era have never seen the sea in their entire lives, so when they saw it suddenly, they were naturally shocked.

Because they didn't know what happened, the fighting between the two sides became smaller.

Fog began to rise around it, rendering the range of several hundred meters like a cave.

This made people on both sides even more surprised and inexplicable.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and the sound was interrupted.

The first to respond was Xu Chu, who immediately swept away dozens of people.

Immediately, the assassins launched a counterattack.

……

Among the green plum groves.

Cao Yi threw the broken flute on the ground, released one from the purple-gold-red gourd, and found that it was broken again.

It just occurred to me that the rehearsals these days had worn out the dozens of flutes that Mu Heng gave and the dozens of flutes that he bought later.

At this time, a whistling sound came from another direction.

Immediately afterwards, there were screams of soldiers one after another.

Obviously, there were more than one group of people who came to kill Cao Cao.

"Kill Cao Thief"

The sound of shouting and killing came from the direction of the bow and arrow.

Not long after, a school captain with many arrows stuck in his body stumbled to the front, and said with difficulty: "Prime Minister, there are many barbarians among the assassins."

After speaking, he fell to the ground and died.

There are actually many barbarians in Taihang Mountains.

A sneer appeared on Cao Cao's face: "In order to kill this old man, these people are really unscrupulous."

"hu people"

Cao Yi frowned.

Raising his hand, countless drops of water floated up from the steaming bottle standing not far away.

With the palm of your hand, water drops shot towards the ground like sharp arrows. The distance between the two was not very far, and some curved shallow marks continued to extend.

Whether it was the young Guo Yi or the well-informed Cao Cao, Guo Jia was puzzled.

"kill……"

The sound of fighting keeps approaching, and they have reached less than a hundred steps away.

Whoosh, a feathered arrow flew over and was about to hit Guo Yi beside him.

Cao Yi flicked his sleeve, and it was gone.

Guo Yi was stunned for a few moments, then came to his senses, and looked into Cao Yi's sleeve, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Cao Yi didn't stop, his eyes were slightly closed, and his hands kept turning up and down, left and right.

Two shallow marks gradually deepened, forming a gully.

Whoosh, whoosh... Feather arrows are constantly being thrown.

Cao Yi waved lightly.

The surrounding desks suddenly formed a wooden wall, and all the arrows fell on it.

Not long after, the barbarians had killed about twenty paces away, so it can be said that they were already close at hand.

Cao Yi also entered the end, focusing on a small area.

Suddenly, Guo Yi blurted out: "It's a snake head"

After ten breaths, Cao Yi stopped.

An earth python that is [-]% similar to the real giant python appeared on the ground.At first glance, it looks like the real thing.

At this time, the nearest few barbarians killed less than ten paces away.

The sound of fierce fighting and the sound of violent metal collisions are extremely clear.

Cao Yi waved his palm and sipped softly: "Get up!"

The earth python, which was originally just a dead thing, had a mutation, white smoke rose from it, and it began to twist, as if it was about to come back to life.

Guo Yi, who was on the side, hid behind Guo Jia and Cao Cao in a whoosh.

Guo Jia and Cao Cao also had strange expressions.

With roars, the earth python struggled like a strange beast chained by iron chains, and countless clods of dirt and dust fell from its body.

The first barbarian who rushed over happened to see this scene, and his face was full of horror.

The next moment, a khaki-yellow earth python, nearly 15 meters long and almost 6000 meters long, protruded its bloody mouth and bit half of the barbarian's body.

With a flick of the giant python's head, half of the barbarian's body flew out, and the next moment, blood sprayed out from the lower half of the barbarian's body.

"There is a big snake"

"monster"

"Go quickly"

……

The other dozen or so Hu men who came over shouted Hu language mixed with Chinese, and backed away in shock.

But it was too late, the earth python twisted its huge body, chased after it, and the huge python tail swept across.

Most of the people were blown away, and the rest were either killed or seriously injured.

Such a scene also frightened the soldiers, and they retreated one after another.

Accompanied by a trembling roar, the 15-meter earth python broke into the barbarians who were too late to retreat, and seriously injured and killed a bunch of barbarians in a crushing posture.

It's not that the Huren and the earth python are not without courage, but the difference in strength is too great, and the earth python is not afraid of the damage of weapons.

"retreat"

"retreat"

……

The dense barbarian shouts sounded.

Then, desperately fled into the depths of the Taihang Mountains.

A quarter of an hour later.

Xu Chu and many soldiers returned with blood all over their bodies, but what they saw was this scene.

A group of wounded soldiers with various yellow symbols on their bodies stood outside.

Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Guo Yi stood nearby.

Cao Yi sat cross-legged behind a guqin, playing the piano.

The sound of the piano is like a gurgling stream, and it is like the echo of a deep valley and a secluded mountain.

After a long time, the sound of the piano stopped.

Guo Jia sighed in admiration: "A student who has learned the piano for more than [-] years is not as good as Mr. Wu for a while."

At this time, a group of birds sang from the sky and flew south.

Cao Yi raised his head and said, "Poverty should go too."

……

Time flies.

Two months later, at noon.

Adjacent to Xiangyang, on the Mian River where the water and the sky are the same color, there is a piece of sparkling light, which seems to be covered with a layer of silver when viewed from a distance.

On the north bank, on a clean boulder, sat a man in coir raincoat and bamboo hat, fishing.

This person is none other than Cao Yi.

After the song in the forest that day, Cao Yi politely refused Cao Cao's persuasion, and left Taihang. Within a month, he visited seven famous mountains in a row, looking for the pre-Qin qi practitioners mentioned in the mission.

But after searching all the mountains, I couldn't find any clues.It seems that in this world, there has never been a group of Qi practitioners in the pre-Qin period.

Thinking that the opportunity was not enough, Cao Yi no longer insisted, and went south with a traveling mentality. He did a lot of things on the way, but afterward, nothing was as he wanted.

He had killed many bandits and bandits, but later found out that he was bullied too much by the vicious and powerful landlords, so he had to stand up and resist.

Using spells to save people was regarded as Zhang Jiao's remnants by powerful landlords and officials, and ordinary people also helped the officials to fight and kill.

……

Not without gain though.

Many treasures of heaven and earth were found in the deep mountains and old forests, such as Ganoderma lucidum with hundreds of years, old ginseng with hundreds of years, Polygonum multiflorum with unknown age, and elixir with unknown name... There are as many as sixty or seventy plants harvested. The elixir collected in Taihang before has been upgraded to a higher level.

Seven days ago, Cao Yi came to the deep mountains and wild forests outside Xiangyang City, and strayed into a deep valley with a lot of bamboo, so he built a bamboo house with bamboo and lived there.

In addition to practicing every day, I use the method of making flute that I learned from others on the way to make flute.

This kind of life is boring, and Cao Yi would occasionally go fishing on the north bank of Mianshui, where fish gather, to relieve boredom.

Of course, not today.Today, there is another purpose.

There was a sound of thin footsteps.

Cao Yi knew without looking that he was an old fisherman.

Fishing in the past few days, I have encountered it several times.

The old fisherman, 60 years old, is short, with dark and wrinkled skin, holding a fishing rod in his left hand and a fishing rod in his right hand. He looked at Cao Yi's jade-like face under his bamboo hat, and a good-quality robe inside his coir raincoat. , and said with a puzzled face: "I have something that I have never understood, please ask Xiao Lang to clarify."

Cao Yi turned his head, with a smile on his face: "Old man, please speak."

The old fisherman pointed to the hook that was less than a foot below the surface of the water, and asked, "Why is Mr. Xiao Lang's hook straight?"

Cao Yi didn't explain, and dropped the hook into the water.

After a while, the fishing charm shook.

"Catchable"

The old fisherman shook his head.

Cao Yi raised his fishing rod, and a fat big crucian carp was brought out of the water, splashing continuously.

"This, this is how to do it!"

The old fisherman was shocked.

Cao Yi looked up and saw that the sun was already in the middle of the sky.

He put away the fishing rod, released the fish, poured out the fish in the fish basket, and walked towards the ferry with the empty fish basket.

Since it is not far from the ferry, it didn't take long to arrive.

I don't know if it's because of Cao Cao's army going south, but there are many people preparing to cross the river.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, seven ships arrived from the south bank.

"Hey, why are there five more ships this trip?"

"Didn't you see it? It's a boat from Jingzhou. It must be here to pick up some nobleman?"

……

The crowd murmured.

After a while, seven ships from the south came within fifty feet of the ferry.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of horseshoes from behind.

After waiting for a while, Cao Yi turned his head and saw dozens of people riding slowly along the official road.

The first three people.

On the left, wearing a crane cloak, wearing a lun scarf, holding a feather fan in his hand, he is not very old, only 25 or [-] years old.

In the middle, she looks dignified, with slightly larger earlobes, and looks about forty years old.

On the right, sword eyebrows and star eyes, white horse and silver spear.

"Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun"

I came here today just to wait for these three people.

There are two reasons. One is that Zhuge Liang is the first person he has seen with thin aura since he came to this world. The person behind Zhuge Liang is very likely to be a clue to the Qi practitioner in the pre-Qin period.

The other is that the rules for manifesting in front of people have changed.Enough people are needed to get rewards.

In less than ten breaths, the three came not far away and dismounted.

Liu Bei looked at the boats approaching on the river, with a worried expression on his face: "Cao Cao's army went south and arrived in Xinye in a few days, but Jing Sheng was seriously ill at this time."

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and said, "According to the letter, I'm afraid Liu Jingzhou will die. My lord must beware of Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others during this trip."

Liu Bei shook his head: "Kai Yidu is a well-known scholar in Jingxiang, so he wouldn't do such a lowly thing."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly a few times, and said, "What about Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, my lord forgot about the leaping horse in Tanxi."

Liu Bei fell silent.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Cao Yi looked at the approaching boat with a strange look on his face.

Soon, the first ship came to the ferry.A rope was fastened to a stake by the sailor, and a long plank was lowered from the ship.

"someone first"

"Step aside"

……

A group of people squeezed on it, just like scrambling for things in a vegetable market.

Cao Yi didn't move.

Soon, the second boat docked, and another group of people crowded onto the boat.

Just as Cao Yi was about to board the boat, a gentle voice sounded: "Is there room for a certain boat?"

Cao Yi stopped, turned his head to look at Liu Bei who was walking, and cupped his hands: "Thank you."

Liu Bei returned the gift, showing a gentle smile on his handsome face despite his age, which made people feel close.

Moments later, a third ship (the one belonging to Jingzhou) docked.

"Military division, Zilong"

Liu Bei greeted Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun first.

"There is no reason why the lord has not boarded the ship, I will wait to board the ship first"

Zhuge Liang objected.

"The military division is right"

Zhao Yun agreed.

Liu Bei had no choice but to board the boat first.

Zhuge Liang is the second.

Zhao Yun is the third.

Cao Yi is fourth.

Behind them are some soldiers and horses who came with Liu Bei.

Soon, the ship left the ferry before other navy ships.

Cao Yi, who was standing on the side of the deck, glanced away and found a sailor soldier who was dodging his eyes and trembling slightly.

"Hey, who left this remnant chess piece!"

Liu Bei's voice sounded.

Cao Yi heard the sound and looked.

In the corner of the deck, there is a pear wood table, on which there are chessboards, chess pieces, and chess boxes.

"Heizi has no solution."

Liu Bei's voice sounded again.

No solution?

Cao Yi, who is somewhat interested in Go, stepped forward.After looking at it for a while, he said: "It can be solved."

"Oh, how to solve it?"

Liu Bei looked puzzled.

Cao Yi picked up a sunspot and placed it on the chessboard.

"How can you play chess like this, this, um"

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, he was stunned.

The original dead chess not only solves the problem, but also wins easily.

Cao Yi smiled and said: "This step is called putting the dead to live."

"Dead and then Live"

Liu Bei chewed thoughtfully for a few breaths, picked up a white piece, and dropped it.

Next, two people, you and me, started playing.

Gradually, the boats came to the center of the river.

Cao Yi picked up a sunspot and was about to drop it when he heard a very slight sound.

Finally couldn't bear to do it!
Whoosh!
The sound is sharp and short.

All the attention was on Liu Bei on the chessboard, and it was too late to hear the sound.

At the critical moment, a cold iron silver gun was thrown in front of Liu Bei.

In the next moment, the imaginary sound of metal collisions did not happen, and the powerful crossbow stopped strangely in mid-air, as if hit by the immobilization spell.

"This"

Whether it was Liu Bei who was almost hit by an arrow, Zhao Yun who shot, or Zhuge Liang, they all showed surprise.

With a bang, a sunspot landed on the chessboard.

The crossbow bolt that was still in the void, seemed to have lost its invisible support, and fell down powerlessly.

"It's Your Excellency"

Cao Yi raised his head with a faint smile on his face.

Resting the wooden crossbow is one of his achievements in the past two months.

Because he absorbed a lot of aura from plants and trees, he possessed the power to control wood like water.

At this juncture, Liu Bei didn't want to play chess anymore, with his hands on the hilt of his waist, ready to get up.

"My lord is playing chess"

After Zhao Yun left a word, he rushed over like a tiger descending a mountain.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of metal clashing like a storm.

The fighting power of the peak generals was fully displayed at this moment. Even if there were many sword-wielding masters hidden among the assassins dressed as soldiers, they still couldn't change the situation of being suppressed and beaten by Zhao Yun.

"It's Your Excellency"

Cao Yi said it again.

Zhuge Liang behind Liu Bei shook his feather fan lightly and said, "The assassin has General Zilong to deal with him, so the Lord can play chess with peace of mind."

Liu Bei glanced at the killing field and saw that Zhao Yun seemed to be entering the land of no one with a cold iron spear. The infantry who accompanied him also joined in the fight. The situation was under control, so he felt relieved.

He picked up a white piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard.

When he withdrew his hand, his gaze paused for a moment on the crossbow bolt that fell on the edge of the table.In the eyes, there is surprise, confusion, and worry.

"Your Excellency, this step is not very good"

After Cao Yi put down a black piece, he ate several white pieces from Liu Bei.

Liu Bei frowned and thought for a while, then put down a white piece.

"It's a great step"

Cao Yi nodded and dropped another son.

In this way, a strange scene happened on the ship of the navy.

On the one hand, it is a life-and-death fight, and on the other hand, it is a leisurely and elegant chess game.

When Zhao Yun's killing was coming to an end, a raging fire was ignited at the stern of the ship.

Liu Bei suddenly lost his mind to continue playing chess, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, how about playing again at another time?"

"Download"

Cao Yi didn't raise his head.

In view of the strangeness of the sudden stop of the crossbow arrow just now, Liu Bei picked up the chess pieces again and started to play.

After a while, the sound of killing stopped.

Zhao Yun, who was stained with a lot of blood on his battle robe, walked over quickly with a cold iron gun in his hand and said, "The fire is raging, please swim back to the north bank with the clouds, my lord."

Liu Bei, who had wanted to abandon the ship for a long time, took the opportunity to say: "The fire is very strong, it is better to go to the shore and then go down."

"This round is almost over"

Cao Yi still didn't look up.

Liu Bei wanted to say something more, but a scene that shocked him happened.

A water dragon soared out of the endlessly flowing mists, and quickly hovered over the ship, making ear-splitting dragon chants continuously.

"Dragon"

"There are dragons in the water"

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun were also shocked.

"sing"

The water dragon rushed into the mists, and after a few breaths, it poked out most of its head, opened its mouth wide, and spit out a jet of water.

It didn't take long for the fire that had spread almost half of the ship to be extinguished, and thick smoke rose several feet high.

bang bang...

There was a knock on the table.

"It's Your Excellency"

Liu Bei came back to his senses, picked up a white piece, and landed it on the chessboard.Looking at Cao Yi's gaze, there was a bit of enthusiasm mixed with awe.

After a while.

Zhao Yun's voice sounded: "Master, look!"

Liu Bei looked up and saw more than a dozen boats coming down from the upstream, each of which had soldiers holding wooden buckets and pouring things into the water.

"Could it be?"

Liu Bei remembered a kind of terrible water he had seen in the north. Once it was ignited, it could not be extinguished.

The next scene confirmed his guess. A soldier threw a torch into the water, and the fire quickly ignited and spread towards here.

"Stone Paint"

"fat water"

Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang spoke different names.

Liu Bei sighed: "Cai Mao is vicious, fortunately we didn't choose to swim back to the south bank just now."

Zhao Yun showed shame.

"Why are you distracted again?"

Cao Yi dropped another sunspot.

Seeing that Cao Yihun didn't care, Liu Bei suppressed his worries.He picked up a white piece from the chess box and was about to put it down when he discovered a flaw in Cao Yi.

The corner of his mouth turned up slightly, and he put Bai Zi in the position of killing.

Cao Yi smiled slightly and put down the chess pieces.

Liu Bei frowned.

It's a trap.

"Lord"

Zhao Yun's voice sounded again.

Liu Bei turned his head when he heard the sound, his heart skipped a beat, the ship was already engulfed in flames.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to escape.

"gentlemen"

"No problem"

Cao Yi waved his sleeve casually.

There was no wind and waves, the mists that were just flowing quietly, now had waves, and the sea of ​​fire surrounding the ship was turbulent.

Then, there were three folds of waves on the Yangtze River, each wave was higher than the last wave, and after a short while, the sea of ​​fire was pushed far away by the waves.

"Mr. is really a fairy"

Liu Bei put down a pawn with a look of admiration.

Snapped!Cao Yi put down a sunspot.

Liu Bei looked at the board, cupped his hands and said, "Bei loses."

"Assignment"

Cao Yi smiled slightly.

"south"

Zhao Yun said suddenly.

Cao Yi turned his head to look, and there were dozens of ships flying majestic flags coming from the south bank, full of soldiers standing on them.

"These people are here to save your master"

The voice fell.

There was a shout.

"Don't be alarmed, Liu Yuzhou, I will come to rescue you under the order of my lord"

"Don't be alarmed, Liu Yuzhou, I will come to rescue you under the order of my lord"

……

Zhao Yun gripped the cold iron silver gun tightly: "I'm afraid there will be fraud"

"Look over there"

Cao Yi looked upstream.

The boats that had just released the stone paint were heading towards the north bank one after another, and it seemed that they were about to abandon their boats and go ashore.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun relaxed his hands slightly.

"Ding! The host has reached the goal of manifesting himself in front of the six plot characters, and the mission of manifesting the saint is complete."

The mechanical sound of the system appeared in my mind.

The task of manifesting the Holy Spirit was finally completed.

Cao Yi glanced across the vast river inadvertently, slightly disappointed.

The person hiding behind Zhuge Liang never showed a trace from the beginning to the end.

This visit was only half done.

It seems that we can only wait for the fire to burn Xinye.

That incredible battle would have been impossible without the intervention of external forces.

Suddenly, Liu Bei's voice sounded: "Sir, don't give up. After Bei sees Jing Sheng, he will go to Xinye to stay for a few days."
