Sacrifice to Feed Demons [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

In the busy city of Luoyang where people come and go, there is an endless stream of people going to all directions.

Suddenly, there was a loud tremor from the bluestone-paved ground, and the people walking on the street retreated subconsciously to the two sides, allowing a fast-moving horse to pass by.

A knowledgeable man poked his head out from the window on the second floor, his brows were tightly knit on his handsome face.

"...This is... an emergency at the border..."

Horse-running horses generally take into account the health of the horses themselves, and will not whip the horses knowing that the horsepower will be damaged, forcing the horses to move forward regardless of life and death.

Because it is clearly stated in the laws of Daqing that if the post horse is damaged, the officials in charge of the post will be fully responsible, and in serious cases, they will even be sentenced to exile or removal from office.

But there are only a few situations where "eight hundred miles are rushed" and those who stand in the way die.

The emergency at the border that the man mentioned is undoubtedly the most serious of them.

"Brother, do you mean that there is a problem in the frontier?" The man who was tidying up the man in white obviously looked older than him, but he called him brother, and the man's face was also good-looking. It seems deserted, but the eyes seem to be filled with countless emotions, but they are a bit sentimental.

"Follow your life, go back to Chang'an and report to Uncle Shi."

After the man finished speaking, the man he called life-chaser picked up the thing on his shoulders without hesitation, pushed the senior brother's wheelchair and walked out.

Chasing his life is as careful as dust, and he did not forget to leave a message for the local yamen when he left.

After all, the two six-door arresters had just arrived here for two days, and left before the case was solved, so they had to give someone an explanation.

In dealing with people in the world, Wuqing has always been reassuring of him, so when the two of them set off, the fast-paced postman passed the news back to Chang'an first. As soon as a disciple told the information collected along the way, Zhuge Shenhou's expression darkened on the spot.

"The thief Fu Zongshu, how dare you conceal the military situation!"

In the imperial court, Fu Zongshu's party members are everywhere, and he has always been Zhuge Zhengwo's old enemy, and he is also a pro-Liao faction. However, Zhuge Zhengwo never thought that this person would dare to conceal the military situation one day!

Ruthless frowned when he heard the words: "Uncle Shi, haven't you found any news about His Majesty?"

The angry Zhuge Marquis took a deep breath, managed to calm down, and said with a bad expression: "The court has the Queen Mother's decree, and it is still stable. The most urgent thing right now is His Majesty's presence."

The implication is that no one has been found yet.

Ruthless fell silent for a moment.

It's incredible for Zhui Ming to hear this.

"Such a big living person, will he be gone if he doesn't?"

Zhuge Shenhou couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "The reason lies in that one from Longhu Mountain."

Zhui Ming was stunned: "Don't tell me that the little emperor will believe the hexagrams as soon as he hears others' criticism?"

Zhuge Shenhou remained silent, as if he had acquiesced.

"Ridiculous!" Zhui Ming had a stern expression on his face. If there are all kinds of people in this world, Zhui Ming is the one who doesn't believe in fate.

At this time, when he heard that the majestic Emperor Daqing was said a few words by a few swindlers, he left the throne and didn't care where he went. He still didn't know where he went.

Wuming glanced at him as if aware of it, and said lightly: "No matter what you are thinking right now, don't tell me."

Just about to say "Is this country still saved?" The pursuit of life immediately withered.

If you want to say who in this world can make the famous Zhui Ming obedient, big brother Wuqing is one, Zhuge Zhengwo is another.

The two of them looked at him with disapproving eyes, knowing without thinking that there was no other way out for chasing his life except to be obedient.

But he was still not reconciled, chasing his life and forbearance: "Could it be that we just watch like this?"

The border is in a hurry.

If Fu Zongshu is allowed to control the government, and the flames of war will rage outside Yanmen Pass, who will be responsible for this?Who will collect the dead people?

Zhuge Zheng and I were silent for a while, then suddenly got up.

"I enter the palace!"

Hearing the determination in Zhuge Zhengwo's words, he ruthlessly said in a panic: "The Empress Dowager is in power but has no seal of state on her body. Even if Uncle Shi goes, His Majesty is not here, everything is just empty talk!"

Zhuge Shenhou was about to step out of the door and stopped, his tall figure seemed to have aged a lot at this moment.

Zhui Ming felt sad, and couldn't bear to turn his head away.

"Uncle Shi, let's find the emperor first."

Nodded mercilessly.

"At this time, you must be steady. Your Majesty is not here. Now the court is supported by you alone. You can't let Fu Zongshu catch the flaw."

"...That's right." Zhuge Zhengwo turned around and sighed deeply, "I just don't know where His Majesty has gone, and whether he knows that the situation is different from before he left."

... Wuqing and Zhuiming glanced at each other and lowered their heads in unison.

If Zhu Yujun knew it or not, he...Of course he knew it.

To put it bluntly, he is more well-informed outside the palace than inside the palace.

Lu Xiaofeng called Huamanlou here with a letter, and there are many tricks in it.

For example, Jiangnan has been known as a land of fish and rice since ancient times, and the Hua family has the most real estate here, and it can be said that every inch of land is expensive.

However, the land generally belongs to the Tian family. The reason why the Hua family has this energy is to mention the famous seven sons of the Hua family.

There are flowers all over the autumn forest stream path, and the chrysanthemums bloom in September to build the courtyard.

Huamanlou ranks seventh in the family. The older brothers are Huamanlin, Huamanxi, Huamanting, Huamanjing, Huamanqiu, and Huamanyue.

Among them, Hua Manting entered the palace when he was young, and accompanied Zhu Yujun who was still the prince at that time. Now that Zhu Yujun has succeeded to the throne for many years, Hua Manting has also studied with Qingyun since he was a child, and became the general of Zhenguan.

The town is just Yanmen Pass!

Zhu Yujun is not an irresponsible emperor. He is away from the palace. His sources of information all come from Hua Manting who grew up with him since he was a child. Hua Manting was born in a Hua family in Jiangnan. The flexibility of Man Qiu's news can sometimes be of great use.

Now that he is in Wanmei Villa, he has not let the situation in Beijing out of control at all, but he cannot go back. He has always kept in mind what Fu Zongshu did after he left, and he will clean up after he goes back!

Zhu Yujun expressed a lot of gratitude to Huamanlou who brought Huamanting's accurate battle report specially sent through the Huajia channel. It is precisely because this is a secret that even Lu Xiaofeng was kept from it by both of them.

Lu Xiaofeng felt that he was squeezed out and went to Ximen to play, to make space for the two of them to be alone, Hua Manlou thought for a while, and said to Zhu Yujun with a worried face: "Your Majesty, isn't it time to return to Beijing?"

"Back to Beijing? How could I go back to Beijing." Zhu Yujun's eyebrows flew slantingly into her temples, and now she moves with great momentum, "Flowers are all over the building, and I won't hide it from you. Fu Zongshu is the elder of the three dynasties. I can't move him when I first ascended the throne, but Over the years, I have figured out that those people in the court belong to his party. If I return to Beijing now, I will waste a great opportunity to cut off his siblings. Not to mention, he is more likely to force me to bow down to Daliao outside the border. !"

Hua Manlou was startled when he heard that, and blurted out: "How is this possible?"

Zhu Yujun sneered: "The Hua family is a good one, and so are you in Huamanlou. You'd better not spread what you hear next."

Hua Manlou frowned, and nodded earnestly upon hearing this.

"I can save it."

Zhu Yujun: "You don't know why. You just see him looking grand and pleading for the people. In fact, he is not the case. The literati are highly respected. Fu Xiang, who is known as Bole and wise, has long been the running dog of the Liao people. I don't know how much he has said to the Liao people outside the pass over the years. Good words, the purpose is to prevent my sword from pointing at the border, and relying on my own strength, how much respite is left for the foreigners? Hateful, this person is so courageous that I am speechless. I have repeatedly tried to find him who knows foreign countries Evidence, but the old thief is cunning, I had to set up a trick to force him to show his fox tail!"

Hua Manlou was very moved when he heard it, and said in a shy voice, "So this is all your Majesty's plan?"

"Of course, although Master Zhang is highly respected and capable, but I am the Ninth Five-Year Honorable, and I belong to the people of the world," Zhu Yujun flicked his sleeves coldly, revealing the majesty of the thundering king for the first time.

While Hua Manlou was stunned, he couldn't help but be convinced, "But there is no one in the court who should cooperate with your majesty..." After feeling emotional, he was interrupted by the emperor in the middle of his rational reminder.

Zhu Yujun said seriously: "How could I be so unwise."

Hua Manlou: "What do you mean?"

Zhu Yujun rubbed his right thumb unconsciously, calmly said: "Manting is my companion, he is now guarding the border, and can turn back at any time if necessary, but when it comes to the war right now, this move is useless."

Hua Manlou: "Then..."

"So it depends on how my good uncle reacts."

Zhu Yujun narrowed her eyes, hiding the coldness in her eyes like a knife's edge.

Hua Manlou didn't know why, but he was not a curious person. Seeing that Zhu Yujun didn't want to talk anymore, he fell silent and poured tea cups for the two of them.

Undoubtedly, the emperor Zhu Yujun was talking about was King Taiping!

In the current situation, those who still have military power in their hands, except for the emperor's confidant Huamanting, the [-] military power in the hands of King Taiping can withdraw from the South China Sea at any time, return to Chang'an, and become a surprise soldier at critical moments.

But as Zhu Yujun said, after having children, a man will inevitably have some ambitions that he didn't have before, not to mention that his uncle has a criminal record.

In his heart, King Taiping had better act obediently according to his instructions, otherwise...the country is in chaos, the government and the public, and one or two ministers and princes died unexpectedly, all he can blame is his bad luck.

The cunning and hearty appearance hides a sharp heart. From the perspective of a friend, Zhu Yujun is indeed a qualified playmate. It can be seen from the fact that Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and others know his identity and can play with him.

Among them, Hua Manlou hides her vigilance under her calm appearance because of her heavy responsibility, but Lu Xiaofeng really has a good relationship with Zhu Yujun.

I don't know how it's only been a few days, how the two of them have become close friends, and sometimes Hua Manlou "watches" them in amazement.

The Wanmei Villa standing in the north of Saibei, withstood the bitter cold here, after decades of wind and frost, unknowingly became the best safe haven in the minds of martial arts people besides the holy place.

Seeing that the atmosphere in Chang'an is getting more and more dignified, Fu Dang's activities are becoming more and more frequent.

Zhu Yujun finally grasped the clue of another force connected with Fu Zongshu.

"it's time……"

Holding the latest battle report and the changing situation in Beijing over the past few days, he opened his slightly narrowed eyes and ordered in a deep voice.

It was clearly an empty room, but there were ghostly shadows drifting away, like ghostly shadows disappearing in the night of Wanmei Villa.

In the courtyard next door, who stayed awake most of the night, Lu Xiaofeng, who was drinking on the roof, caught sight of the shadow leaving in the distance from the corner of his eyes, rolled his eyes to the sky, turned around, and scratched his back as if he didn't see it.

In the blink of an eye, the situation outside the villa changed, and a kind of depression that was about to come was condensed in the sky above Chang'an City.

I don't know that the emperor's heart is in the Shenhou Mansion these days have been gloomy, and no one can be found no matter how hard they look, even the faces of the four famous arresters have become bitter.

When Zhui Ming rushed back from his stronghold in the capital again, when he entered the house, he was spread out on the chair, and what he saw when he came in ruthlessly was this kind of demeanor.

Among the four disciples of Zhuge Zheng, the one with the fastest legs and feet is chasing life, so he is always assigned to do some work of collecting information. In addition, he is slick, forthright and amiable, and has an advantage in character, so he can tell anyone Just a few words, before I knew it, I got a lot of information I wanted.

Ever since Wuqing found out that he had this talent, he advised him to work harder in this area. Who knew that after a few years, Shenhou's mansion actually had strongholds dedicated to collecting news.

The people in the stronghold are either poor women who were rescued by chasing life, or some ordinary people who admired him were trained again.

Loyalty is guaranteed, coupled with the lack of crowds, it can often have miraculous effects at critical moments.

But no matter how good the effect is, it still won't work at some point. Wu Qing knew that no one had been found yet just by looking at his appearance.

Wuqing's legs and feet are inconvenient, Zhuiming's ears moved, and he heard the sound of the wheelchair moving.

"Brother, Uncle Shi hasn't come back yet?"

Zhui Ming helped him lift the chair while asking questions.

Ruthlessly holding the hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, he shook his head slowly.

"For the past few days, Fu Dang has been attacking Uncle Shi, and the situation is not optimistic."

Zhui Ming couldn't help baring his teeth when he heard it.

"Where did the emperor go at such a critical time!"

Ruthlessly sighed in his heart, and his clear brows were covered with a layer of melancholy.

Daqing is currently facing internal and external troubles, and the emperor himself is... well, he doesn't know his mind, and he doesn't know where the future lies.

Zhui Ming didn't know what he was thinking, so he cursed freely.

"It's all the fault of the stinky Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain. If you have nothing to say to the emperor about the bloody disaster, they will know if it is a real disaster or not?"

Ruthlessly frowned and said: "Zuiming Zhaikou, Master Zhang is indeed a powerful person."

Chasing his life and being scolded, he curled his lips and muttered: "If you have great power, how can you not count the situation in front of you..." But he still didn't continue talking about the senior brother's rare strictness, in fact, he didn't take it seriously in his heart .

For life-seekers from grassroots background, the name of Longhu Mountain is no different from the fortune-telling magic stick at the intersection of the street.However, Wuqing was born in a noble family. Before being adopted by Zhuge Zhengwo, the Sheng family was also a big family.Although Zhuge Zhengwo only had time to save Wuqing, who was still a baby back then, when he became an adult, I gave him the few books that I took away from the Sheng family back then.

One of them was a family tree.

A massacre, a fire that burned for seven days and seven nights, the Sheng family, which was full of bells and bells, disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Zhuge Zhengwo rescued Sheng Yayu, who was young and his legs were miserable, and named him Wuqing, but his real name was found in the genealogy.

Even though Wuqing read through the words of a hundred schools of thought, he did not let go of these ancient books.

After reading it, I learned a lot about Longhushan, a detached sect in the mouth of the aristocratic family.

Because aristocratic families pay attention to their origins and worship Taoism, some famous literati in history almost all occupy the same high status in Taoism.

The Sheng family was also a big family back then, so it is not unusual for a few people to join Longhushan.

Therefore, Zhang Zhenren, who has been conferred the title of national teacher in the past dynasties, naturally knows how extraordinary this Taoist teacher is.

Since he warned the emperor, there must be something threatening the emperor in Beijing.

But what exactly?

Ruthless thought of Fu Zongshu at the first moment, and from the current situation, he was undoubtedly the one, but there was always a little bit of uneasiness in his heart, and he kept reminding himself that there were still clues that had been ignored.

At night, Zhuge Zheng returned to the mansion with a dignified expression, and what he saw was Wu Qing's dignified posture.

Before he could ask, Wu Qing asked first: "Uncle Shi, is there a way to meet Master Zhang?"

Zhuge Zheng was dumbfounded for a moment.

Zhang Zhenren, the current state teacher, the emperor of three generations of Yaorong, is already a hundred years old. The only person who can see him is the one on the throne, and the other courtiers can only catch a glimpse of him from a distance at the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the national fortune.

Wuqing now wants to talk about meeting this old god, Zhuge Zheng, I almost pulled out my beard in anxiety, and I don't know how to tell my apprentice that I can't do it!

No matter how kindly and calmly Zhuge Shenhou later explained the extraordinary status of the other party, he said that since the old god told the hexagrams to Emperor Daqing, he watched the stars every night, but his complexion changed day by day. In the eyes of a day.

When his disciples and grandchildren were panicked by the different performance of their master, Zhang Zhenren finally called all the disciples of Longhu Mountain one night and solemnly let them go down the mountain to save the people.

"This is a catastrophe that I have never experienced in Daqing for hundreds of years. I can get through it. The national fortune is long and enduring. I can't get over it..."

He sighed deeply, and it seemed that all his worries were integrated into this sigh.

In particular, the few disciples who were called to the front looked at each other in blank dismay. Somehow, the ancestor could see the aftermath of the country's ruin and family death from the prosperous world outside the mountain.

Master Zhang didn't go into details, he drove them out with an old face, and climbed to the rooftop of Longhu Mountain by himself.

Looking at the Star River Dipper from a high place, the stars shone with mysterious brilliance in the night, and the scene is extremely exciting.

But when this scene fell into the eyes of Zhang Zhenren, who was watching the stars, his complexion became more and more bitter, and finally he turned his head as if he was about to drip water, but at this moment, his eyes widened , in order to prove that he was right, he raised his head again and stared at the stars in the sky.

After a while, he suddenly exhaled forcefully. As soon as the breath came out, his whole body relaxed a lot.

"Heavenly officials descend to the world, and heavenly officials save the world," Zhang Zhenren murmured to himself. With his cultivation base, he could have ascended immediately, but he couldn't let go of the common people in the world, so he kept resisting until the bad news came, and he turned from the state of seclusion. To warn the emperor.

Now seeing that the situation of the stars in the sky is finally not so dangerous, he is also worthy of his hard work all the time.

People who have the same idea as him have deeper insights than him. A wandering monk in the White Horse Temple outside Chang'an looked at the sky far more deeply than he did, and his complexion was far more subtle than him.

A young man who was doing this behind him took a peach and ate happily until he said... "Disciple!"

Sun Wukong spat out a mouthful of peach flesh, and the whole monkey jumped out two meters away as if it had been electrocuted. After such a big reaction, he still said so.

"Master, you called me so kindly that Lao Sun had a bad feeling!"

Tang Seng, who had made great contributions to the eastward journey of Buddhism, originally wanted to become a Buddha. At this time, the person in the lower realm is a distracted, handsome face, but he is definitely not like the deity who provoked eight hundred monsters and tried to marry him back home.

Sun Wukong knew that he was overreacting, but seeing Tang Seng's gentle and gentle appearance, his body shivered subconsciously.

If others don't know, don't you know yourself?

Since the master was conferred the title of Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha by the Buddha, the memory of the golden cicada in the previous life has been restored.

Then this master changed, and he was no longer as stupid and dull as he was on the way of learning scriptures.Stealing rape and playing tricks, sometimes even Monkey King can't stand it.But in front of others, he has a respectable appearance. Even Zhu Bajie, the idiot, will only say that he has a rich imagination after hearing what he said.

idiot!When did Lao Sun lie? !

Sun Wukong recalled his experience of being cheated by his master many times in the past, and resigned himself to his fate to find that once his master smiled at him like this, nothing good would happen afterwards!

But this time it seems that the sky is going to rain red.

The virtuous Buddha whose dharma name is Tang San sighed lowly, "Wukong is not good, I just want to hear what happened to you when you came here as a teacher." , making wild speculations, but I have lost my heart, and the distance between my Buddha and me is getting farther and farther.”

I have already defeated the Buddha, which Buddha do I need to get closer to?

Happy Buddha? !

Of course Sun Wukong didn't dare to yell like that, he folded his hands together in depression, he looked like a noble son, but he looked good when he was doing Buddhist rituals.

"Master, Wukong knew he was wrong."

"It's so good, tell me what's interesting on the way, call it Teacher Lele."

"...Master, you look like a hooligan."

"Oh, this is not good. Let us forget the unpleasant things. My teacher has a Zen stick named Nine Rings. Although it is not as heavy as your Ruyi Golden Cudgel, it is still not light. When my teacher hits you on the head... "

"Three days ago, I met a horse thief..."

……

Sun Wukong spoke dryly, and Gongde Buddha listened with relish, until he said abruptly: "Wukong, you said that someone gathered Jiuding on purpose, what could it be?"

Speaking of those people who didn't want to recall at all, Sun Wukong just felt dizzy, so he didn't need to react when he heard the question, and said instinctively: "Jiuding is an important weapon to divide the world, self-refining Since then, together with the Xuanyuan Sword, it has become a fetish that gathers luck in the Central Plains. If someone deliberately gathers this thing, it is either for the world, or for breaking the sky."

Hearing this, Gongde Buddha smiled softly, and his meaningful eyes fell into the distance.

"That's right. Originally, I thought that breaking the sky was caused by man. If it is successful, it still needs to be opened by the way of heaven. But I never thought that someone would go against the sky and succeed."

Sun Wukong looked towards the far north where his eyes fell, and his peach blossom eyes suddenly widened.

I saw that the sky was clear and cloudless, but there were meteor showers in the north, and there was a strange phenomenon in the sky...

Monkey King hurriedly stood up, but Gongde Buddha sighed: "It's too late..."

It was too late, and I don't know if it was talking about the breaking of the sky, or when the mountains and rivers were pouring out...

Outside the frontier, Hua Manting was dressed in a military uniform, and when he heard the unfavorable battle report, Hua Manting's handsome eyebrows immediately burst into a fierce look.

"In March, it will be midwinter, and the Liao soldiers and horses must fight back before then!"

The foreign race outside the Great Wall grew up on horseback and lived by water. They are all good herdsmen, but they don't want to farm and lack food.The winter at Border Pass is bitterly cold. If a lamb freezes to death, the foreign tribes who are struggling to survive will inevitably gather to plunder the border villages. At that time, the army of Daliao will still be there, which will make Daqing even worse.

So you must fight!

Fight until the Liao people dare not attack the Daqing sideline again!

Hua Manting stared at the red eyes, and the lieutenant demonstrated the deployment of the siege several times, but no matter how he planned, in the eyes of the meritorious Buddha, Daqing's luck has been lost, and the dragon's energy has withered, which is a sign of the destruction of the country...

The author has something to say:

Ji Xianjun's path as a villain has officially begun.
