Chapter 5 The arrival of His Majesty the Emperor (2)
Chapter 5 His Majesty the Emperor Arrives (2)
The three of them traveled lightly and simply. It was early spring and the scenery was beautiful. They were enjoying the mountains and rivers, but they didn't feel bored at all.
Traveling from north to south, the weather gradually became warmer. In the evening of that day, a heavy rain suddenly fell, drenching the three of them to death, and they hurried forward.
Jin Shengjie said: "Brother, not far ahead is the town we passed through when we came here. There is a good restaurant there. Let's hurry up!"
Zhao Caizi said: "The girl is also very interesting!"
Only Zhou Bangyi found it very interesting. He looked up at the hazy sky. Billions of raindrops fell from the sky, soaking the green forest and his clothes. The fragrance of the grass and the fishy smell of the earth mixed together, making people feel energetic.
shock.
Many poems that were originally boring appeared in his mind, and he murmured: "This is how I have lived!"
Jin Shengjie and Zhao Caizi couldn't understand his mood at the moment. They only looked forward to the wine and the girl in front of them, and then fell asleep happily while being slightly tipsy.
Zhou Bangyi also became curious in their descriptions and quickened his pace.
But when they arrived at the town, Zhou Bangyi asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
There is no peaceful and prosperous town in front of you, but only a burned-out ruins, with lush green grass growing up, becoming a nest for small beasts.
Jin Shengjie sighed and said, "This is a military disaster."
Walking in the abandoned town, Zhou Bangyi felt heavy in his heart, and couldn't help but think: "This is my father's dereliction of duty!"
But now all the wine and beauties were gone, and the sky quickly darkened. Zhao Caizi suddenly said: "What do you think that is?"
There were lights flashing in the dark mountains, and Jin Shengjie said: "I remembered that there is a small temple there, not far from here. Let's go there and stay overnight."
It's said to be a temple, but it's just the size of a mountain temple. It's been in disrepair for a long time, and even a section of the courtyard wall has collapsed. It's really rough, but I'm afraid it's because of this that it can avoid the intrusion of the rebels!
Sure enough, there were monks staying inside. When the host heard about the visitors from far away, he immediately warmly welcomed them in, arranged them in the west wing, and treated them to a vegetarian meal.
In the quiet of the night, Zhou Bangyi gathered his energy and meditated on the bed. Looking back on the experiences of these days, he felt that he had benefited a lot, and the speed of his practice seemed to be much faster. Looking at Jin Shengjie and Zhao Caizi, they were already asleep snoring.
For days.
Zhou Bangyi had finished his work and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard some strange noises coming from outside the door. It seemed that someone had entered the temple again.
He was curious, so he took out a few talismans from the package. These were all talismans he had made on the road according to the contents of "Mo Talisman". He took out one and activated it, listening to all the sounds within a radius of more than ten feet.
This is a sound-hearing talisman that is similar to a telepathic ear.
"Why did you come?" was the voice of the kind-hearted abbot.
"A rain delayed it, but as we expected, they did go this way."
"Then let's send them back to the west tonight. This place is deserted and it's a good time to deal with it."
"Hahaha, the master is indeed compassionate. After the success is achieved, he will have thousands of taels of silver as a gift."
Zhou Bangyi gasped when he heard this, pushed them awake quickly, covered their mouths, and whispered something. Jin Shengjie and Zhao Caizi were both confused. There were at least a dozen monks in the temple.
Plus the strangers Zhou Bangyi heard, how could they resist?
Jin Shengjie wanted to open the back window and run away, but several footsteps had already been heard from the window, and the same was true from the front door. Even though he was tiptoeing, he could still hear it clearly on a rainy night.
The three of them were like turtles in a urn, just waiting for someone to kill them.
Jin Shengjie also tremblingly took out an ancient sword and held it in his hand, but no matter how wise he was, he was just a businessman's son. He had never experienced such a scene. He didn't want to be burdened so he didn't bring a guard. At this time, he couldn't help but regret it.
, glanced at Zhou Bangyi, and felt bitter in his heart. At this time, the only person who could be used as a fighting force was Zhao Caizi, a half-time martial artist.
Zhao Caizi's eyes were red and his heart was fierce. He was holding a sword and was about to go out and fight with others. Zhou Bangyi hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.
Several men in black took the lead, and a dozen monks each held swords and staffs, surrounding the west wing, waiting for the leader's order.
The door suddenly opened, and a dazzling white light flashed out.
"My eyes!"
"Kill them!"
Zhao Caizi shouted loudly, jumped out of the room, and struck a man in black on the head.
The man in black is also proficient in martial arts. When he heard the wind, he raised his sword to block it. The true energy in his body was flowing, and his vision recovered a little, only a blurry figure could be seen. His martial arts was very crude. As long as he blocked this move, he could be killed.
Cut it off with one knife.
But there was no sound of swords clashing, only a muffled sound, and Zhao Caizi slashed down with his sword without any hindrance. The sword was sharp and bright, and there was a talisman attached to the hilt.
Zhao Caizi's confidence greatly increased, and while the eyesight of the group had not recovered, he swung his sword to kill them.
Jin Shengjie said: "Kill the man in black first!"
Zhao Caizi woke up and killed two more men in black in just a moment.
The leading man in black roared angrily, and struck Zhao Caizi with a sharp sword and several staffs at the same time.
Zhao Caizi couldn't dodge, so he simply refused to dodge. He stared at the leader of the men in black and stabbed him with his sword.
The sword was attached to his body, and only a few sounds of "dang, dang, dang" were heard. Zhao Caizi's body flashed with brilliance, but he was unscathed. A talisman flashed on his back.
Zhao Caizi was overjoyed and shouted: "It really works!"
The leader of the men in black widened his eyes, clutched his chest and fell down. He did not expect that he would die in the hands of such a person after practicing martial arts for twenty years.
"Monster! Monster!" The monks were so frightened that they abandoned their swords and staffs and ran away.
Zhao Caizi became murderous and chased after them and killed them one by one. The heads of the victims were rolling around and the sword in his hand broke. When he looked down, he saw that the talisman on the sword's hilt had turned into ashes.
In a short time, a mountain monastery was filled with corpses, and blood flowed all over the ground. Even rain could not dilute it for a while.
Jin Shengjie said: "Keep alive!"
"There is another one!" Zhou Bangyi pulled out the old monk from the abbot's room. When he saw the scene in front of the door, his heart tightened. He had never seen such a scene in his life. Then he saw that Jin Shengjie had already retreated into the house.
Zhao Caizi said bluntly: "It's so happy!" He patted Zhou Bangyi on the shoulder and said: "Your talisman is really easy to use!"
Zhou Bangyi grinned, his pride covering up his nausea.
When the old monk saw the murderer approaching, he rolled his eyes and fainted. He was dragged into the house and splashed with water to wake him up. After some interrogation, Jin Shengjie's face changed drastically: "It turned out to be him!"
The person who sent someone to instigate all this was actually his compatriot Jin Shenghao. Jin Shengjie prided himself on being romantic, but he was still a bit naive. He never expected that this kind of fratricide would happen to him. Jin Wancheng's time was running out, leaving him
The bequest is a huge wealth that ordinary people cannot imagine, and no one wants to share it equally with others.
Moreover, although Jin Shenghao could take over the Jin family as the eldest son, Jin Shengjie became an official in the court and was slightly supported by the Pan family. His future status is set to be higher than that of Jin Shenghao, and he is still the de facto head of the Jin family.
Just as Jin Shengjie's expression changed, Zhou Bangyi whispered, "What is this sound?" It seemed like many people were devouring food, and they were just outside the door.
Zhao Caizi stood up and said: "I'll go take a look!" After the battle just now, his confidence was extremely expanded. Without waiting for Zhou Bangyi to stop him, he opened the door. The scene outside was like a basin of cold water being poured on his head, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
Call.
Through the weak candlelight in the room, I could vaguely see many little ghosts lying on the corpses, gnawing at the bones. They all raised their heads when they heard the sound. In the dark and rainy night, they looked particularly terrifying and ferocious.
The old monk rolled his eyes and fainted again. Zhao Caizi and Jin Shengjie turned to Zhou Bangyi for help at the same time. Just now, it was all because of the power of his talisman that the three of them could escape the disaster, but they did not know how to drive away wolves and summon tigers.
Zhou Bangyi also looked pale and hurriedly took out a few more talismans before he had time to activate them.
There were several "bang bang" vibrations, and a big ghost with a green face and fangs and a protruding belly stepped over the wall and walked in. He carried a mace on his shoulder and swung the little ghost away like a fly. Those who couldn't avoid it immediately turned into flesh.
The big ghost squatted down and was about to have a big meal. His lantern-like eyes stared at the people in the room and stuck out his scarlet tongue.
Zhou Bangyi was the first to bear the brunt, and a sense of despair arose in his heart. Facing such monsters, even though he had a diamond body to protect him, he was crushed by a hammer. He felt that he was so close to death for the first time in his life. Under the terrifying threat,
Yaxia, even the will to resist has disappeared.
If people like him in Taoism are like this, Jin Shengjie and Zhao Caizi are even more unbearable.
Suddenly there was a thunderous sound in the sky. Zhou Bangyi was shocked and dripping with cold sweat. He wondered what happened to him just now. He quickly mobilized some of his true spirit and concentrated his energy.
But how could the big ghost give him this effort? He stretched out his hand to grab it, but suddenly he retracted it as if he was being burned.
Outside Zhou Bangyi's Taoist robe, a faintly visible golden dragon swims. Even though he is the emperor of the last days, he still has pure dragon energy to protect his body and cannot be violated by evil and sycophants.
The big ghost became furious, and smashed down the mace with a sound as shrill as a ghost's howl. When this gang went down, let alone humans, the west wing was turned into rubble. Even if the dragon's energy could block the evil spirit, it could not.
Live this real stick.
At this moment, a white bat flew from nowhere and landed on the beam.
The big ghost's mace suddenly stopped, he suddenly retracted the mace, broke through the wall and fled eastward.
"Stop!" With a low voice, the big ghost stood still as if under a immobilizing spell, just like Jin Shengjie and others who had been frightened just now.
A vicious man in green robe walked into the courtyard. Yuan Ting stood there stiffly and looked at Zhou Bangyi deeply. There were four bats of different colors hovering above his head, joining the white bat.
.
Zhou Bangyi's heart moved: "Are you Zhong Kui?"
Zhong Kui didn't answer, but bowed to him, grabbed the big ghost with one hand, and turned into a whirlwind and flew away.
In Zhongnan Mountain, Xu Xian filled up his glass of wine with a smile and said to Zhong Kui, "Can you feel at ease?"
Zhong Kui drank it all in one gulp: "I promised the late emperor to protect the Zhou ancestral temple, but if you sincerely accept him as your disciple, you will be a thousand times more blessed than being an emperor. I am also happy for that child."
The five bats turned into five servants, busy serving wine and food. They were originally the five ghosts driven by Xiao Qing, but Xiao Qing had no use for them now, so Xu Xian asked Xiao Qing to let them go and follow Zhong Kui.
Xu Xiandao: "Now that the war has just ended, there are so many dead souls that the ten Yamas are stretched thin. As for the ghost emperors of the five directions, except for the southern ghost emperor Du Ziren who dare not see me, I have sent them to the spirit world, and all the ghosts under my rule are gone.
Now that we have become the commander-in-chief, we still need to take good care of the people and prevent them from causing chaos."
Zhong Kui said: "Besides you, who else can take care of this matter? Zhong Kui is willing to do his best to help."
Xu Xian raised his glass with a smile, touched it with Zhong Kui, and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhong Kui said: "But besides that, there is one more thing, please make your decision!"
"What's the matter?"
