Chapter 178
178 One cloud piercing arrow, two cloud piercing arrows, three cloud piercing arrows
The moon shone on the nine provinces, some happy and some sad.
A few brothels were drinking, and a few were wandering on the streets.
......
Outside Ling County.
Mount Qi Niu was a rare high mountain in Ling County. It was tall but not continuous. It was like a huge gate that suddenly appeared, blocking the path between the two counties.
In the local legend of Ling County, this mountain did appear out of thin air.
It was said that a few hundred years ago, the divine river was flooded, and the water flooded Jiangnan. At that time, Xu Ling was about to be drowned by the water, and the people couldn’t escape in time. When they were all wailing, a bull-riding Daoist descended from the sky.
This bull-riding Daoist used some unknown method to pull up a tall mountain from the ground, blocking the turbulent water, saving countless people, and then floating away.
After the incident, the people did not know his name, so they could only name the mountain bull-riding Mountain to commemorate the achievements of this living immortal.
Until today, on every 15th day of the Lunar New Year, there were still many people from Ling County who came to this mountain for a walk and to pay their respects in the sky. It had gradually developed into a folk custom.
Recently, there was a strange news that happened in Ling County, which was the matter of the shepherd boy picking up a brush. Many people said that the shepherd boy had mistakenly entered this bull-riding Mountain and had picked up the treasure that bull-riding Daoist had left behind.
In fact, Ma Liang’s village was close to a hundred miles away from Mount bull-riding, so the listeners only took it as a far-fetched explanation.
That night, there was a strange movement on the mountain peak.
It was clearly a clear autumn night, but a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky like a Golden Dragon. With a crack, it tore the sky apart and struck the peak of bull-riding Mountain!
His voice shook the world and shocked the surroundings!
Many of the people nearby were awoken by this bolt of lightning. When they looked in that direction, they could only see the vast night sky and nothing else.
What the people didn’t know was that the wild beasts on the mountain were all running wildly!
Be it jackals, wolves, Tigers, leopards, rabbits, rats, insects, or snakes, all of them mustered their strength and fled down the mountain. Their shadows were continuous, as if they had foreseen a natural disaster.
The sound of countless footsteps and jumping almost merged into a loud rumble.
No.
The loud noise wasn’t caused by them.
If the sky was bright at this time and they retreated to a distance to look carefully, they would be able to see the Kasaya.
The mountain seemed to be slowly splitting into two halves.
That rumbling sound was The Sound of the Mountain splitting!
Although it was slow, it was a tall mountain! Even if it was just a crack, it would be a huge shock to the creatures above. It was no wonder they ran away like crazy.
Or perhaps it was more than that.
There seemed to be something hidden in the black crack that was slowly opening.
There were demons on Mount bull, but they were also running away at full speed. Some of the more skilled existences would turn their heads from time to time, staring at the obvious crack on the mountain peak, their eyes filled with greed.
However, he did not stop running.
They could feel that something was attracting them from behind the crack, but they could clearly feel that it was the death that had been imprinted in the memories of their ancient ancestors.
......
On another distant mountain.
The smiling face man wearing a strange mask and an ancient robe stood on the peak of the mountain. He looked at the scene and said, ” “The demonic priest’s immortal treasure is indeed on Mount bull-riding, we didn’t guard this place for nothing.”
Behind him, the crying face said faintly,”the immortal treasure’s phenomenon has appeared. I think the surrounding major forces are coming.” It would probably take three days for the demonic path’s immortal treasure to be completely opened. Three days later, if no venerable is here, we don’t know if we can get in.”
“How could the venerable one not be here?” “Don’t worry,” the smiling man waved his hand.
“At ease?” The crying face snorted coldly. if it were any other venerable, it would be fine. But this bi an ...
“You must believe in venerable Xuan GE,” the smiling man said.
“......”
The crying face was silent.
“......”
The smiling man was also silent for a while, and then whispered, ” “He’s usually late by a month at most.”
“Messenger nu’s whereabouts are unknown. It’s very likely that he’s already dead,” the crying-faced man said in a low voice. I’ll definitely complain about this pigeon demon when I get back.”
The smiling man thought for a moment. that’s a story for later. Just in case, why don’t we call the people from King Jiangnan’s side over first? ”
“You want to touch the people over there?” The crying face hesitated.
“Move,” The smiling man scratched his head. the demonic priest’s immortal treasure is of great importance. The Kasaya hidden inside is a big secret that the bull-riding Daoist brought out from the divine Ruins.
“At that time, the 12 immortal sects all went to fight for that secret item, but they all claimed that they didn’t get it. Although we can’t rule out the possibility that one of the 12 immortal sects released fake news to incite the others, the possibility of such a thing happening is very low. It’s more likely.”
“It was the bull-riding Daoist who got the secret.”
“From then on, he disappeared from the pugilistic world and has not appeared anywhere for hundreds of years. That was until the Great Flood, and I made a move to save Xu Ling.”
“There must be a reason behind this!”
The crying face naturally knew what he was saying.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
Then, the smiling man blew a loud whistle.
There were two clattering sounds in the night sky, and a Large Green Pigeon descended from the sky and landed on the smiling man’s palm.
...
The smiling man held the fat Pigeon and said to the pigeon’s head, ” “The demonic priest’s immortal treasure is about to open, go to Jiangnan Wangfu to shake people.”
“COO, COO.”
The pigeon nodded and took off.
“I hate all pigeons,” the crying face muttered.
Puchi–
Before he could finish his sentence, something in the sky seemed to land on his shoulder.
......
At a place thousands of miles away from Ling County.
There were a few exquisite thatched cottages hidden in the mountains.
Little ma Liang and Mo Xian had been brought here by the old bull and had been living a shameless life for a while.
When the cattle plowed the fields, the women would weave, and when the cattle fetched water, the women would water the gardens.
...
It was like a paradise.
On this day, under the moonlight, Ma Liang suddenly woke up from his dream.
He walked out of the thatched hut and saw old yellow with a bull’s head sitting in the courtyard, staring at the South in a daze.
“What’s wrong?” Ma Liang asked as he walked over.
The Tauren looked at him for a long time before saying gloomily, ” “There are some things I should do.”
“Is it dangerous?” Ma Liang asked carefully.
“Probably,” The Minotaur scratched his head, ” but I’m not afraid. I’m only worried about Yingluo.
“Are you worried about me?” Ma Liang was sharp.
“Yes.” “I’m worried that you won’t know how to control yourself,” the Minotaur replied.
Ma Liang’s face turned red.
“Don’t just indulge in painting, you should also read more.” The bull-headed man warned.
“Oh, you mean this?” Ma Liang heaved a sigh of relief.
“What?” The Minotaur was stunned. what did you think? ”
“Um.” Ma Liang looked nervous and quickly changed the topic, ” “Can you tell me what you’re going to do?”
The Tauren was honest and straightforward, and he immediately replied, ” my previous master, Lao Ai, was a very powerful figure. He was so powerful that he even thought that a stupid bull like me would have intelligence after he pointed at it.
“He might have lived for a few thousand years, but he still died in the end. After he died, he left behind a treasure trove, and that treasure trove is about to be opened.”
“I knew about this before anyone else. I wanted to bring you in and secretly take some out. It would be enough for you to enjoy for the rest of your life.”
“Who knew that you would bring out that pen? you almost got yourself killed.”
“Now that Yingying’s treasure is finally going to be opened, I think he probably doesn’t want those treasures to fall into the hands of bad people.”
“I’m going to protect it,”
Little ma Liang thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up and patted the tall Tauren’s shoulder. He said with a serious look, ” “I won’t stop you, but you must come back safely.”
“I know what to do,” the Minotaur said with a silly smile.
......
Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu
A gust of wind swept through the night, and the faint wailing of ghosts could be heard.
In a remote alley in the hang Zhou Prefecture, a few ferocious ghosts suddenly appeared. They were fierce and frightened as they scrambled to escape.
As soon as they came out of the alley, the few ghostly figures were stunned.
Because on the street outside, there was actually a large group of living people surrounding them. At a glance, there were probably more than a hundred people. The majority of the people were women, and they were staring at them with excited and fiery eyes.
The hostile ghosts were stunned.
It was reasonable to say that they had been ghosts for quite a few years, but when had they ever received such treatment?
And,
These were clearly weak mortal women, but were they not afraid of ghosts?
Just as they were in a daze.
As the wind blew behind them, the malicious ghosts ‘short moment of distraction ended, and they suddenly remembered why they had fled.
He wanted to run again, but it was too late.
A cold black shadow flashed past and landed at the entrance of the alley.
The malicious ghosts a few feet away had already crumbled and turned into dust. No one present could see his movements clearly.
But they could see his face clearly.
“Zhan liuming-”
A strong female voice started the first scream, and then a large group of people swarmed up.
Zhan liuming landed on the ground. He was originally very confident, but when he saw this scene, a flash of panic appeared in his eyes.
As expected, this was what would happen if he made a move in the prefecture.
Even though he had already chosen to come to an extremely remote place in the middle of the night, he would still be found in advance every time.
I’ve already been very careful to keep it a secret, Yingluo.
There must be a mole in the Imperial court!
These admirers were the most difficult to deal with. After all, they were also part of the common people. If they turned around and left, it would appear that they were not close to the people, which was not good for Chaotian que’s image. Not to mention that they often needed the support of these people. If they all greeted him warmly, no one would be able to stand it tonight.
Helplessly, Zhan liuming could only sign on the items they handed over one by one and think of another way to escape.
He was surrounded and could only reveal one hand.
“Whose handkerchief is this? sign it.”
“Whose letter is this? it’s done.”
“Whose fan is this? it’s written.”
“Whose undergarment is this? please put it on properly.”
“......”
At this moment, a sharp sound suddenly came from the direction of Yangchun Street.
Zhan liuming raised his eyes and his expression froze, then immediately revealed a look of relief.
“The sect has an urgent mission, I’m sorry I can’t continue.” He shouted and then leaped into the sky.
Hu–
A huge night owl swept past at a low altitude and instantly took his body away.
“Ah!”
Only screams could be heard from below, but it was unknown if they were excited or reluctant.
The Night Owl spread its wings and instantly returned to Chaotian que’s residence.
The moment they landed, they saw many black-robed guards gathered.
The white-robed chief of the garrison, Duan Zhang, stood at the very front with a solemn expression on his face.
He knew that something big was about to happen. Otherwise, he would not have summoned all the black robes in the prefecture city so late at night.
When Duan baipao saw that Zhan liuming had returned, he nodded in acknowledgment. Then, he spoke in a deep voice, ” a strange phenomenon has fallen from the sky on Mount Qiniu in Ling County. A divine Thunder has struck the mountain. It is estimated that the secret realm will open in three days.
“With such power, it must be something left behind by a powerful being or even a demigod. Everyone at the middle stage of the Shenhe realm and above, follow me to investigate. Those below the middle stage of the Shenhe realm will remain in the prefecture city.”
“Ling County?”
Zhan liuming’s eyes flashed with reminiscence as he recalled those strange people and the huge Death Star.
This place was indeed extraordinary.
......
At the end of the night, he still returned to the Jiangnan Royal Mansion.
In the pavilion.
The king of Jiangnan’s face was gloomy. He faced Huo Zhuge, who had just arrived, and said, ” “Maybe the people from the demon sect are going to make a move in advance.”
“Oh?” Huo Zhuge frowned. what does your Highness want to do? ”
“A secret realm is about to open on Mount bull-riding, I need help.” The king of Jiangnan had not told him everything.
“It’s our duty to serve Your Highness in this King’s Manor.” Huo Zhuge pondered for a moment and said,”it’s just that these legendary demonic sect figures don’t seem like ordinary sinecures. The things they do for Your Highness must be kept secret.”
“After all, these people are more or less involved in some bloody cases. If they are discovered, there will be trouble.”
The king of Jiangnan nodded, indicating that he understood Huo Zhuge’s concerns.
“If it weren’t for the urgency of the matter and the difficulty of it, I wouldn’t have used these legendary figures of the demon sect.” It’s just that this time, I had no choice.”
“However, if Qianqian succeeds, it might be of great help to our great plan.”
“Since your Royal Highness has an order, I naturally dare not disobey,” Huo Zhuge replied. However, I still have to advise Your Highness that the more the matter is at hand, the more you can not act rashly.”
“I have my own plans.” The king of Jiangnan finally said,”I’ll tell you in detail about this matter when we get there.” As long as it’s successful, it doesn’t matter if I don’t get erect for the time being.”
Huo Zhuge naturally did not refute. that’s good. I’ll gather all the heroes for His Highness!
After that, the two of them walked side by side to the balcony on one side of the attic. Facing the vast back garden of the Prince’s Mansion, Huo Zhuge took out a talisman.
The yanyue sect’s unique summoning talisman. Only those with demonic Qi can sense the information within.
His left hand formed an incantation gesture and his right hand threw the talisman into the sky.
Whoosh—pa!
It was like a firework rising into the sky, instantly illuminating the sky and then exploding into a dazzling firework.
A cloud-piercing arrow, and thousands of soldiers and horses came to meet!
Although he had raised these demon sect members for many days, the king of Jiangnan had never summoned them. If there was nothing else, he would not want to see these strange and unruly people.
However, at this moment, due to some pressure, he had no choice but to move.
“Soldiers are trained for a thousand days, but they can only be used in one moment.” “I’m sure they won’t let you down, Your Highness,” Huo Zhuge said with a smile.
“I also believe that.” The king of Jiangnan also revealed a dark and difficult to understand smile.
And then,
Half a day passed.
The king of Jiangnan blinked. where is he? ”
Huo Zhu GE also frowned deeply. that shouldn’t be the case. No matter which branch of the demon sect it is, everyone must gather when they see the summoning talisman. This is the rule set by Lord Yin Emperor back then.
“Moreover, I’ve already made an agreement with them before I led them into the king’s residence.”
“Even if someone was slower, they shouldn’t have not shown up at all, Yingluo.”
The king of Jiangnan was a little displeased. was it because the light just now was too short? why don’t you take another one? ” he asked.
Although fire Zhuge felt that this statement was stupid, he had no choice but to summon it again.
With a flip of his hand, he shot out another army summoning talisman.
Whoosh—pa!
Another cloud piercing arrow!
And then,
After a long while,
Whoosh—pa!
The third cloud piercing arrow.
The king of Jiangnan looked at Huo Zhuge.
Huo Zhuge looked at the king of Jiangnan.
They looked at each other.
Cold sweat rolled down Huo Zhuge’s forehead. He said in a low voice, ”
“I think there’s something wrong with Yingluo.”
