Chapter 21
Qianshenzong cried out in pain, and unconsciously let go of his hands and swept towards the top of his head.As soon as Fomalhaut caught it, he had already jumped to it.Qianshenzong was swept away and screamed angrily.Lu Jian took the opportunity to roll down the altar, stretched out his mouth to pick up a severed blade, clamped it with a broken elbow, thrust forward, and pierced Qianshenzong's waist.

Qianshenzong suffered heavy injuries before, and the King Kong's indestructible body has already been broken. He only felt a chill in his lower back, and his whole body's energy dropped sharply. , all spurted out several feet of blood springs, and the bones creaked and smashed to pieces under the strong force of the fish monk.

Lu Jian saw Qianshenzong's nine-foot male body turn into a mass of flesh and blood in an instant. He was so startled that he took a few steps back, fell down again with a "plop".

Monk Yu swayed, sat down on the ground, looked at the Persian cat and sighed, "Fomahaut, I haven't seen you for 30 years. I owe you my life because I didn't expect to meet you today."

Lu Jian's heart was shocked when he heard this: "This master also recognizes Fomalhaut? He said he hadn't seen him for 30 years. Didn't this cat live to be 30?" I was puzzled for a moment, and when I looked up, the Persian cat was also very tired, lying lazily on the ground, its blue eyes were dim and lifeless.

Lu Jian wanted to get up, but felt weak again, but Monk Yu got up slowly, walked up to Ah Shi, stretched out two fingers, gently twisted the iron chains on her limbs, and carried her to a piece of brocade to cross into the bed. Infuriating.Ah Shi's cheeks gradually turned rosy, and there was a gleam in his eyes, he thought he felt relieved, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.

Monk Yu settled Ah Shi and connected Lu Jian's broken arm.Lu Jian thanked him. Monk Yu stared at him for a long time, and suddenly there was pity in his eyes, and he sighed: "This place hides filth and filth, so we can't stay here for long. These concubines are captured by criminals, and their fate is miserable. If they die here, they will be lonely in the wilderness." , making it even more desolate. I also ask little Tanyue to help the poor monk, so that she can rest in peace."

Lu Jian said: "Master is right." The two of them worked together to bury all the concubines, Hashimoto and others near the shrine, and Monk Yu recited scriptures to save them.

After the incident, we went back to the shrine and saw the wreckage of Qianshenzong. Monk Yu said, "The villain has done a lot of evil, but he was a recluse after all. He should be wiped out with the method of Buddhism. You take this little girl outside first and wait."

Lu Jian picked up Ashi and placed the Fomalhaut gate on his shoulders. Not far from the shrine, he saw flames rising into the sky behind him, and he saw Monk Yu floating over without touching the ground, and hurriedly said, "Master." Monk Yu He nodded and said, "Let's find a place to rest first."

At that moment, the three of them lit a bonfire in the wilderness. Monk Yu asked how Ah Shi was captured and how Lu Jian rescued him. He couldn't help but wondered, "You actually cut off the Cihang knife and broke the impossible stone armor?"

Lu Jian scratched his head and said, "I also find it strange, I don't know how to do it." Monk Yu pondered for a moment, and said with a smile, "It's not surprising, because you didn't fight alone from the beginning to the end." Lu Jianqi said "Who else?" Monk Yu glanced at Fomalhaut, who was sluggish, and sighed, "That's it."

Lu Jian was puzzled, and Monk Yu said: "Fomalhaut is a rare spirit beast in the world. It can stimulate the potential in your body. If you only have five abilities, Fomalhaut can make you develop ten percent. It's just that it never You are only controlled by women, and do not recognize men as masters, so it is strange to fight side by side with you this time."

Lu Jian told about Fomalhaut's recognition of Ashi as the master, and Monk Yu sighed: "No wonder, although it is a beast, it is eager to protect the master, and understands the principle of being in a hurry."

Lu Jian nodded, and was about to ask Monk Yu why he recognized Fomalhaut, when he suddenly felt a piercing itching accompanied by a huge emptiness surging from the three veins of "Ziwei", "Taiwei" and "Tianshi" at the same time. It was unprecedentedly violent, and Lu Jian's mind was like thunder, and he only had time to yell before losing consciousness.

When he regained consciousness, Lu Jian felt his body was very light, almost weightless, but everything in front of him gradually became clear.He found himself in a strange place, one side was bright and dazzling, the other side was dark and deep, he was between the darkness and the light, his body was formless and indeterminate, neither could be attributed to the darkness, nor could he merge into the light.

"Am I dead?" Lu Jian became confused. If there were lights flickering in the darkness, they became brighter one by one, and Lu Jian recognized them as stars.In the boundless darkness, a huge star map gradually appeared, Ziwei, Taiwei, Tianshi, Dongfang Canglong, Western White Tiger, Southern Suzaku, Western Xuanwu, the vast number of stars, as many as Huansha, are constantly moving and moving.

Suddenly, a star in the south lit up like a ball of fire, stabbing his eyes. "Fomalhaut!" Lu Jian yelled loudly, feeling his feet go numb, and he fell into the abyss.

Lu Jian screamed loudly, and suddenly felt his back touched the ground, and his eyes became clear, close at hand, it was a beautiful girl's face with tears on her cheeks, half crying and smiling.

"Ashi." He suddenly regained consciousness, his body was still weak, "I'm still alive..." Ah Shi covered his mouth and said with a tearful smile, "Of course I'm alive, thanks to Master for saving you."

Lu Jian wanted to get up, but he couldn't even lift a finger. "Don't use your own strength." Monk Yu walked slowly, his complexion became more and more haggard, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more profound, "I sealed your Sanyuan Emperor Vein, temporarily delaying the 'Heitian Tribulation'."

Lu Jian asked in surprise, "Master, do you also know about 'Hei Tian Jie'?"

"Know a thing or two." Monk Yu said indifferently, "Just because you have encountered a powerful enemy that you have never had in your life, borrowing the power of robbery is too much, and the power of robbery is even more powerful."

A glimmer of hope rose in Lu Jian's heart, and he couldn't help asking: "Master, you have great powers, can you help me eliminate the 'Heitian Tribulation'?" The two of them answered in Chinese, but Ah Shi couldn't understand what they were saying , but she was smart, and she guessed that it was a major matter related to Lu Jian's life and death. She couldn't help clasping her hands together, knelt down to Monk Yu, and said softly, "May the master be merciful and save Lu Jian!"

Monk Yu closed his eyes slightly, and said for a long time, "Son, who is your culprit?" Lu Jian said.Monk Yu sighed: "Sure enough, he is a member of the Eight Divisions. 'Fire Immortal Sword' Ning Bukong is a rare genius in the Fire Division, and he is not easy to be with." After saying this, he did not say any more, sat cross-legged on the ground, and meditated .

Lu Jian and A Shi were both exhausted. A Shi fell asleep on Lu Jian's chest.At dawn, he suddenly felt the ground shake. Monk Yu's eyes widened, and with one person in each hand, he jumped up the big tree beside the road and hid himself among the dense branches and leaves.

After a while, I saw teams of people passing under the tree.Looking at his clothes, Ashi said strangely: "These soldiers are not from the Oda family." Monk Yu sighed: "This is Imakawa Yoshimoto's army. It seems that Ta County has been conquered. These soldiers and horses are going to Jiujin and Marune. I heard that Imagawa attacked Owari this time, with an army of [-], and the defeat of the Oda family is inevitable."

Ashi's pretty face turned pale when he heard it, and he said in a trembling voice: "Jichuan Yiyuan? Big brother has no grievances or enmity with him, why did he attack us?" Monk Yu said: "There is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period. Wars in troubled times, profit is the first word, There is neither morality nor reason at all. Although your elder brother Oda Nobunaga did not offend the Imagawa family, he unified Owari and went west to Kyoto. He was so popular that he was deeply tabooed by the princes of all parties. The Imagawa family ruled the East China Sea. I am afraid that Nobunaga will be a big one. A few days ago, the eastern part of Owari suffered a tsunami, and Yoshimoto Imakawa took the opportunity to send troops, just to make things worse, destroy Owari in one fell swoop, and remove the thorn in his heart."

Ah Shi could not restrain his grief and indignation, tears flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he heard the sound of hooves like thunder, hundreds of horsemen came roaring, many of them were wearing armor, carrying red spears, and small flags were planted on their backs.Ah Shi recognized that this was the banner used to protect the lord of the country, and when he got closer, he saw the name of Jinchuan written on the banner, he felt his breathing tightened and his heart beat violently.

I only heard a vigorous voice shouting: "It's hard work in the early morning, rest under the tree for a while, and I will replenish my horsepower." The team of knights reined in and stopped, and a general wearing a horn helmet jumped off the horse. ottoman.The general didn't disarm, so he sat down.Several other generals also got off their horses and sat around them.All the flags shot horizontally and immediately surrounded the tree like an iron bucket.

The Niujiao general held a folding fan and fanned, "The weather is evil, it's only May, how can it be so hot? Or it's because you haven't fought too much recently, your heart is wide and your body is fat, and you can't bear the heat." All the generals laughed.

The general said again: "Hayato Yuzumi, do you have any news from Nobunaga?" A tall and thin general replied, "Go back to Lord Yiyuan, I only heard that he led the army to leave Qingzhou. I don't know where he is now. There were more than a dozen spies, but none of them came back."

Ashi suddenly understood that the fan-wielding general sitting under the tree was Owari's great enemy Imagawa Yoshimoto, he suddenly felt his heart beating faster, his slender fingers clenched into fists, and his body couldn't help shaking.

"Nobunaga is amazing!" Imakawa Yoshimoto sighed, "unified Owari, surrendered Dozo. When he met the general, Yoshiki also praised him for his intelligence and virtuousness. Such a person is a tiger sleeping next to my Imakawa couch. Kill him while he is still asleep, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it in the future." He paused, then asked, "Yuan Kang, you and Nobunaga were childhood friends, tell me, what kind of person is he?"

A short military general said: "He is a weirdo, he never follows common sense in things, he likes to play Indy (press: stone throwing game), and he also loves to dance. 50 years is nothing but a dream."

All the generals found it interesting and laughed for a while, but Imakawa Yoshimoto hummed a tune: "50 years in the world, compared with the sky, but a small thing..." Humming here, he slapped his fan and laughed, "Nobunaga is a master The greatest joy in life is to take off his head." All the generals said in unison: "I would like to do this little work for Duke Yiyuan."

"Okay." Imakawa Yoshimoto said with a smile, "I heard that Nobunaga has a girl named Ashi who is very beautiful. If anyone of you gets Nobunaga's head, I will reward him with Ashi."

Ah Shi was annoyed when he heard that, and suddenly felt that Lu Jian patted her on the shoulder. Looking back, seeing him shaking his head again and again, he couldn't help smiling, thinking: "Big idiot, do you think I'm going to go down a tree and fight people to my death? I You're not that stupid." Thinking, she groped for Lu Jian's hand in the dark and held it tightly, even though she was in a dangerous situation, she felt boundless joy in her heart.

Suddenly, Imakawa Yoshimoto said again: "Speaking of which, there is no news from Qianshenzong. The monster boasted that he would send Nobunaga's head last night. Huh, it's all bragging, it's a pity that those gold Beauty."

All the generals said yes.Imagawa Yoshimoto said again: "The Qianshenzong can't take it, let's take it by ourselves. Nobunaga is expected to see my military power, and he will not dare to act rashly. I can let go and attack the city with heavy troops. Matsudaira Yuanyasu, you lead 5000 people Attack Marone, Uozumi Hayato, you lead 5000 people to attack Washijin, Maori Hanoi, you lead 6000 people, and look for Nobunaga's main decisive battle. I lead the rest and control the overall situation in Ozaza. Yoshimoto hereby agrees that in the evening of the next day, Drink with the princes in Qingzhou City."

All the generals got up one after another, and coaxed: "In the evening of tomorrow, I will have a drink with my lord in Qingzhou City." The majestic and majestic sound made Ah Shi's heart agitated, and he couldn't help shaking his body, touching the branches, and the leaves rustled down.

Imakawa Yoshimoto snorted, and said sharply: "Is there someone on the tree?" Ah Shi was so scared that his face turned pale and trembling, Lu Jian couldn't help hugging her tightly, lest she accidentally fall off the tree.

But Maeda Toshika said with a smile: "My lord, you are worrying too much. Yomo's voice was too loud, which startled the birds on the tree."

Imakawa Yoshimoto snorted coldly and said, "It doesn't matter if he is a man or a bird, he will be served by the blunderbuss." With a sound of "crash", all the banners took out the blunderbuss and lit the matchlock.Lu Jian and A Shi were desperate, and they both closed their eyes, when they suddenly heard Monk Yu's voice as thin as a mosquito gnat: "Lean to the left, come behind me." A Shi was too frightened to move, but Lu Jian Gradually he gathered all his strength and pulled her to tilt to the left.

The sound of the guns was loud, the wind in Lu Jian's ears was rushing, and the "chucking" of the tree in the lead pellets was continuous, but he felt that Ah Shi's palms were sweaty, but there was no trace of heat.

After a while, Imakawa Yoshimoto suddenly sighed: "Is there really no one? It seems that the older I am, the less courageous I am. Everyone, set off early, win the first battle, and swear to destroy Owari."

All the troops responded in unison: "Victory in one battle, I swear to destroy Owari." They got on their horses one after another, whistling away like a whirlwind.

Jinchuan's army passed by one after another, and it took half an hour for the surrounding fields to be quiet.Monk Yu jumped down with the two of them in his arms, and shook his robes, shaking off many lead pellets.It turned out that he blocked the bird gun with the power of the Great Vajra, and solved the difficulty at that time.

"Master!" Ah Shi's eyes welled up with tears, and he suddenly bent his knees together, "I must find my elder brother, the fate of the Owari Kingdom is coming to an end, and Ah Shi cannot live alone."

Monk Yu frowned slightly, and said to Lu Jian, "Son, what do you think?" Lu Jian said, "My 'Heitian Tribulation' broke out, and if I don't go back, I will die. Since Ah Shi wants to go back, I will accompany her regardless of life or death." Ah Shi's heart was hot, and tears welled up in his eyes.Seeing this, Lu Jian took out a handkerchief and gave it to her, but Ah Shi refused to take it, hugged him and let out a groan, Lu Jian only said that Wei Zhang was about to die, she was afraid, and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here! "

Monk Yu sighed: "In this case, Monk will send you to Qingzhou, but you have to promise Monk one thing." Ashi said: "Master, please tell me." Monk Yu said: "You have to swear that when you return home, When others ask about how you got out of trouble, you are not allowed to tell the monk, just act as if you have never seen a monk before."

"Then how did it happen?" Lu Jian asked anxiously, "The Master Qianshenzong was killed by the master, what should we say when others ask?" Monk Yu shook his head and said, "Who said that the Qianshenzong was killed by the monk? He clearly died because of you And Fomalhaut's hands. If the temperament of a monk is used, not only can't kill him, but he might die in his hands." Thinking that if Fomalhaut hadn't hurt Qianshenzong at that time, I might have really stopped and ended up The whole army was wiped out, and he sighed unconsciously, and said again, "If you two don't agree, the monk will not go."

Lu Jian and A Shi looked at each other, knowing that Jinchuan's army was densely in front of them, and without Monk Yu's protection, it would be difficult to return to Qingzhou, so they said, "I will follow Master."

After the discussion was over, the three of them went to Qingzhou City.Lu Jian was weak, so he relied on Ah Shi for support.Monk Yu walked in front, coughing uncontrollably.On the way, they met several Jinchuan troops, all of whom were subdued by Monk Yu, but as the number of troops increased, the three of them had to take a detour, trying to go wherever the Jinchuan army could not reach.

After walking for a day, it was getting late, and the three of them rested by a small stream.Monk Yu was coughing all the time, while Lu Jian was hot all over, laying on the ground and babbling nonsense, all in Chinese, Ah Shi couldn't understand, only heard the word "Ah Ching" repeatedly appearing in his words, feeling strange for a moment Yes, but why is not clear.

Ah Shi was originally pampered, but now she tried her best to treat Lu Jian. She took a handkerchief, soaked it in water, and wiped his body. Suddenly, she saw the fish monk sitting by the stream, and when he coughed, there were balls of scarlet flowing down the stream. She couldn't help being surprised Said: "Master, are you injured?" Monk Yu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just an old injury." After that, he sat cross-legged and meditated to adjust his breath.

Ah Shi fed Lu Jian some water and sat beside him with his knees hugged, thinking that he had never experienced so many things and walked so many roads in his life.Looking down at Lu Jian again, she felt even more joyful in her heart, and couldn't help thinking: "I have never met such a man worthy of entrustment in my life." She stroked Lu Jian's forehead, staring at his black eyebrows, tall The bridge of the nose, the thin cheeks, and the pale lips seem to never be enough, and I really want to look at them for the rest of my life.

Looking at it, she became sleepy, leaned on Lu Jian's body, and fell asleep in a daze.Suddenly, the sound of running water woke her up, and when she looked up, the surrounding area was in darkness, she couldn't help feeling palpitations, and said in a voiceless voice: "Master, Master." But no one responded, Ah Shi became flustered, touched her lower body, but felt that Lu was getting better Yes, the breathing is steady, and the fever seems to have subsided a lot, so I can't help but feel relieved.At this time, a flash of fire ahead seemed to be accompanied by human voices.

Ah Shi turned around and touched a branch, thinking: "Lu Jian tried his best to save me, but now he is sick, it's my turn to save him." After thinking about it, he stood up, put the branch across his chest, and meditated on his elder brother in the past. The swordsmanship that has been taught, guess how to make the first move.
