Pawn Crossing the River

Near the confluence of the Norte Brazi and Rio Grande rivers, across the San Francisco Mountains, there are ruins of an indigenous temple. This is a completely different architectural style from Western temples, with a trapezoidal base. , the square temples are located at the top.

At this time, the old temple site was opened as a temporary stronghold by Xidaomen, and many people gathered.

There are many murals inside the temple, which record the history and myths and legends of the indigenous people, which can also be said to be epic chapters.

One person was holding a lantern and looking at the murals, chanting softly.

"Donwu looks at the rest of Hangzhou. The sea of ​​clouds is two miles away. When will I return to my hometown after becoming famous? I will laugh drunkenly for thirty thousand times. There is no need to complain about leaving the cup. Drinking has never made me feel good. I will return home tonight with the cold lights on the river pond. The Weeping Sheep Gong is named Yang."

This man has a tall and powerful figure, an oriental face, oriental dress, and an extremely heroic appearance. The people behind him also all have oriental faces.

He paused for a moment and sighed, "When will the centuries-old dream of returning home reach the sky?"

At this moment, a person walked into the temple from outside and reported, "Master, someone has arrived."

The person who was admiring the mural put down his lantern and turned around to "let him in."

As soon as the words fell, a man wearing a priest's uniform walked in. Although this man is dressed as a priest, he is not blond but has black hair and a darker complexion. He seems to have Aboriginal ancestry.

"I have met the real person Huangfu." Although the visitor was dressed as a holy court, he was very familiar with Eastern etiquette and bowed his hands.

The person holding the lantern is none other than Huangfu Ji, the youngest of the nine immortals of the Xidao Sect. He has inherited the usual beauty of the Huangfu family, but there is no trace of makeup. He is masculine and heroic, and has great personal charm.

He waved his hand, "No need for so many vulgar etiquette, we are old friends."

"Yes." The person responded.

"Recovery." Huangfu was obviously standing very close, but his voice was like thunder coming from the distant sky, which made the priest's scalp numb. "Do you still remember the words I gave you when I went to the Northern Continent? ?”

"Remember." The man known as "Guangfu" replied respectfully.

Huangfu Ji said, "'There are great brave men in the world who are not surprised when they are attacked without any reason, and are not angry when they are attacked for no reason. The person they hold hostage is very big, and their ambition is far-reaching.' These few words are not only for you, but also I use it to encourage myself. I have seen you dormant in the Northern Continent all these years, and I have to take care of your suffering."

"Master Huangfu..." Guangfu seemed to have a thousand words to say, and

Don't know where to start.

Huangfu Ji's voice suddenly came closer, as if he was right next to his ears. "The first time I heard the word 'Guang Fu' was when I was a child when I read the allusion in "Hearing the Chickens Dance": 'Zu Ti, a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, had great ambitions and always wanted to restore the Central Plains.' For the people of the Central Plains, this is a very important name. I give you this name in the hope that one day we can regain the Northern Continent and regain the beautiful mountains and rivers that were robbed by the Western thieves. You can afford this name."

"Master Huangfu!" The man who was called Guangfu was obviously moved, and said with emotion, "Xunqing has a sense of justice. He will not be swayed by power, regardless of his own interests. The whole country will not change his mind. He values ​​​​death and upholds justice. Not giving up is the courage of a gentleman. Even though tens of thousands of people are gone, I, Liang Guangfu, have never regretted it.

"You can't die, and we can't die." Huangfu Ji put his hand on Liang Guangfu's shoulder, and his voice became passionate, "Those evil thieves who have occupied the land of the Northern Continent deserve to die. If blood must flow like a river, Then let this river of blood promote our great cause of recovery."

"Guangfu understands." Liang Guangfu said in a deep voice, "In fact, the reason why many brothers came together was not because of national justice or religious inspiration, but just because of pure revenge. Their relatives died in the hands of those Westerners. , they were scalped, but they managed to escape with their lives, and the meaning of the rest of their lives was just to pay blood for blood. "

"That's right, revenge." Huangfu Ji then got to the point, "Tell me about the situation you have."

Liang Guangfu said, "Beichen Hall's Sun Zhongnu was not captured by mistake, but rebelled on his own initiative. This prevented everyone in Beichen Hall from noticing in advance, resulting in heavy losses. Fortunately, Beichen Hall Lotus Seat got the news in advance and issued the retreat order as soon as possible." , avoiding greater casualties.”

"The new chief of Beichen Hall, Qi Xuansu, Qi Tianyuan." Huangfu Ji said to himself, "I have heard of this person. He is very famous at a young age. It is said that Wang Jiaohe fell into his hands. But for a local powerful man, one of the thirty-six Master Shen Zhi, even if he has Master Donghua backing him up, his reputation is now even higher than that of the Three Taoists. People often say that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. , Thirty years later, maybe the Taoist master will also have high hopes for him and send him as a lobbyist."

Huangfu paused for a moment and continued.

"It is said that there were some changes in Fenglinzhou. First, the second-in-command of Beichen Hall went to preside over the situation. After Qi Tianyuan became the chief of Beichen Hall, he took over from the second-in-command and went to Fenglinzhou to preside over the situation. He has yet to leave for the New World. He is thousands of miles away. How did Fenglinzhou know about the changes in the Northern Continent even earlier than Li Mingzhen knew about it? Could it be that he was not in Fenglinzhou, but had quietly arrived in the Northern Continent with a false shot? "

Liang Guangfu said, "I think so too. Although Rosette's move did not cause greater losses to Beichen Hall, it also exposed the fact that Rosette is in the Northern Continent. Not long ago, a big explosion occurred in the lower city of St. York. , someone single-handedly repelled four senior members, and I suspect it was Lotus who did it. Although Lotus was good at cultivation, he was in an enemy situation after all, so the Gospel Ministry made such a big fuss. The reason why they didn't hesitate to leak the news in advance and let many people from Beichen Hall go is because they found some clues and used this method to verify their guesses. No matter how many hidden people are killed, it is not as good as winning a rosette."

"What a compassionate person." Huangfu sighed with emotion. He couldn't tell whether it was emotion or sarcasm. "Compassion cannot control soldiers, and justice cannot control wealth. This is not possible. But then again, it is not right for Master Qingwei to use him. It makes sense that he was asked to lead the troops to fight, but to stop the war."

Liang Guangfu went on to say, "The Gospel Ministry wants to seize the rosette, but so far no trace of the rosette has been found. It is worth mentioning that the Speaker of St. York, Sophia August, has been unusual recently because of an actress Audrey. Al disappeared, and a war broke out. It was said that an airship was deployed to intercept and kill him on the way, causing a lot of noise. However, the airship was broken by one hand, and none of the people sent survived. From this, it seems that the rosette is not alone. , and there are helpers to assist.”

"Breaking an airship with one hand? This is not something that ordinary heavenly beings can do. At least they are pseudo-immortals." Huangfu Ji said thoughtfully, "It shouldn't be Qi Tianyuan. He doesn't have such cultivation. Could it be said that Yu Jing He was also assigned a 'Dharma Protector'? This is interesting. This kind of treatment is just for the heir of the Grand Master. No wonder he is confident. But according to you, this Yujing pseudo-immortal has been found in the sea. , If the gospel ministry doesn’t go to the sea to find people, how can it start a war on land?”

Xidaomen is also a Taoist sect. It is awkward to call Taoist sect "Taomen", so people in Xidaomen usually refer to Taoist sect as Yujing or Jinque.

Liang Guangfu said, "This means that Lotus Block and this Yujing master are not together. They may be divided into two groups."\u003c

"We are trapped in the enemy's territory, and we are outnumbered. We should have united our troops and clenched our fists to hit people. It is a taboo to divide our troops hastily. This Chief Qi has risen to a high position at a young age. He is definitely not a mediocre person. He will not I don’t understand this.” Huangfu Ji said slowly, “There must be a reason for him to split his troops into two groups even though he knew it would be disadvantageous. Now it seems that it is probably the pseudo-immortal from Yujing who took the sea route. Take the land route, build the plank road openly, and visit Chen Cang secretly."

"What a great idea." People around Huangfuji immediately praised him.

Huangfu was extremely unmoved and continued, "Whether it's Chief Qi or the fake immortal in Yujing, it's just ordinary to fly to the sky and escape from the earth. It's not difficult to fly thousands of miles in a blink of an eye. Even if the troops are divided into two groups, why do they need to take a boat?" car?"

"The missing Audrey Al!" Liang Guangfu suddenly realized, "It was Master Qi who took away Audrey Al, that's why August was so anxious. There must be something hidden in Audrey Al's body. What kind of secrets are there that makes Qi Zhenren and August fight for each other? It is precisely because of Audrey Al that Qi Zhenzhen cannot return to the Southern Continent directly and needs to cover up his whereabouts and figure it out slowly. "

"It seems that's it." Huangfu said, "This Audrey El is the key, we have to help Chief Qi. But we don't know where Chief Qi is now, didn't Lu Yujue tell her?"

Someone replied, "He probably doesn't know either."

Huangfuji stopped mentioning the matter and changed the subject, "Why did Sun Zhongnu take the initiative to rebel?"

Liang Guangfu hesitated for a moment, "I heard that it was because Qian Fuli wanted to transfer him back to Jinling Mansion, but he didn't want to go back."

A person in charge of intelligence next to Huangfu Ji said, "As far as I know, Sun Zhongnu's ancestral home is Jinling Mansion. It's a good thing that Lao Qian transferred him back. How could he disagree? To take a step back, even if he doesn't If you agree, you won’t rebel directly and harm Lao Qian, who almost treats him as his disciple.”

Liang Guangfu sighed, "People's hearts are unpredictable. Although his ancestral home is Jinling Mansion, he did not grow up in Jinling Mansion. He actually grew up in St. York. Even though he has black hair and eyes, But on the inside, he is no different from those Westerners. For him, St. York is his hometown and Jinling Mansion is his foreign country. "

Huangfu said expressionlessly, "He's just a traitor. Just kill him casually. Also get rid of his family members to avenge the dead fellow Taoists."
