God left

According to the time given by Lin Qinghe to Jianzong, he could go to get the results on the third day of the first lunar month, but before the third day of the first lunar month, something happened in the northwest.

There is a long-standing commercial route on the northwest border, which extends in all directions and is extremely prosperous. Over the years, it has been an important source of commerce for the cities in the northwest.

On the night of the first day of the first lunar month, most of the checkpoints and post stations along the commercial road that the locals were proud of were completely destroyed, and almost no one was left alive.

The destruction of hundreds of miles of post stations overnight was either due to large-scale organized rebellion or power beyond ordinary people.

Lin Qinghe didn't think about it at all, and knew that something was really wrong.

It was already the next day when the news reached his ears, and the movement outside the Great Wall was no longer a petty entry, but an advance with great fanfare.

Ever since the destruction of Youzhou City, Lin Qinghe knew that there must be a tough battle to fight, but they were waiting for it, but the other party was putting countless termites into the long embankment. It's a thousand miles away.

The three factions have branches all over the place. Starting from the northwest region, the Daomen branch altar, the Jianzong branch and the Taihuai branch all ignited red smoke on the towers and headed all the way to the pass.

All day long, the metal and iron drums resounded through the sky, and on the third day of the first lunar month, they weakened everywhere, leaving only the signs that heralded the war still faltering.

The box pigeons flying the message flew to various places, and the disciples stationed in the sub-altars urgently took over the relevant matters of the post station, and informed the main altar of the local situation as quickly as possible.

Taihuai was originally guarded by Cang Jin, but due to the sudden change in the South China Sea, Zang Feng is now in charge.

It was already the fifth day of the first lunar month when Mingzhushan received the letter. Yan Zhong didn't know when he came back. He probably knew that Jiang Lizhou was seriously injured. He was just led by his erratic thoughts, and he was in a daze all day long.

Most of Yan Zhong's disciples were dispatched to various towns, showing a sense of urgency as soldiers approached the city.

But Jiang Lizhou was seriously injured, and he couldn't leave people by his side, so he left Fortune behind.

Shi Yun saw that he didn't wake up from his lethargic sleep all day, and felt anxious like a cat scratching. On the one hand, Jiang Lizhou didn't get better after taking so many medicines. Although it was only two or three days, there was no sign of improvement. On the other hand, Xu Ling hasn't come back yet. It stands to reason that he should have left home on the third day of the first lunar month. Even if he was delayed on the road, there should be a letter sent back.

Besides, the Northwest Commercial Road seemed to be another hell on earth, and Xu's family also lived on that road. Whatever Shi Yun thought and worried, he walked around the tea table in the Jiangli boat house for half an hour.

When he was burning with anxiety, he heard the copper bell hanging on Jiang Lizhou's wrist ring - in order to know whether he was asleep or awake in time, they put the copper bell on a rope and hung it on him.

Shi Yun hurried over to see him: "Brother, do you want some water?"

Jiang Lizhou seemed to feel that the atmosphere was different, and asked him, "Did something happen?"

Fortune briefly recounted to him the news from the northwest, and then took out a sound-transmitting bird from his sleeve: "By the way, this is for you. It's been a few days, but you're not in good spirits, so I didn't give it to you." look."

Jiang Lizhou took it over and asked again, "How many days have you received it?"

Shi Yun thought for a while: "I received it on the second day of junior high school, and it has been four days."

Jiang Lizhou frowned: "Have I been in a coma for so long?"

Shi Yun said: "Senior brother concentrates on taking care of his injuries, it is estimated that something big will happen."

Jiang Lizhou suddenly remembered Xu Ling: "A Ling hasn't come back yet?"

Shi Yun's face was filled with sadness for a moment: "I'm also worried—but he should be on his way, and he'll be fine."

What he said seemed to comfort Jiang Lizhou and comfort himself.

Jiang Lizhou shook the sound-transmitting bird in his hand, and said, "I haven't taken the medicine for today, you go and get it."

Shi Yun hurriedly nodded and ran out, for fear that he would fall asleep again later.

Jiang Lizhou knocked on the voice-transmitting bird, first came the faint sound of firecrackers, and then Lin Qinghe's voice, which seemed far away, said: "The clock was still ringing at midnight just now, I wanted to visit you New Year, but I really can't slip away, anyway, there will be many New Years to spend together in the future..."

He babbled on some trivial matters, his voice slowly became a little frustrated, he sighed and said: "Okay, I miss you."

Jiang Lizhou stared at the sound-transmitting bird for a long time, unable to tell what it was like, but only thought that it was lucky to come back with a life.

Shi Yun brought the medicine, Jiang Lizhou swallowed it with a frown, and asked, "How many people are there on the mountain now?"

Shi Yun took the medicine bowl and said: "It's less than twenty, and the rest have been sent out. People at the bottom of the mountain are in panic, especially the one to the west, where red smoke is lit everywhere. Now everyone is stretching their necks to watch, for fear This cigarette is lit at the door of your own house."

Jiang Lizhou asked again: "Do you know where the tiger is these days?"

Shi Yun thought for a while: "I should have been in the South China Sea two days ago, but I don't know about it these few days. The South China Sea is also in trouble, and the birds and beasts are all crazy. The ferry in the South China Sea has been closed for half a month. Everywhere It’s the dead bodies of seabirds and fish, it’s shocking, I heard that the rotten smell can be smoked for two miles.”

Jiang Lizhou asked, "Have you figured out what happened in the South China Sea?"

Fortune curled his lips: "It seems that there is no movement for the time being - Jianzong is really not a thing, it was the tiger himself who broke into their lobby, and that's why he condescended and sent people to subdue those crazy spirits."

Jiang Lizhou made a gesture to get up, but Shi Yun hurriedly stopped him: "Don't move around, brother, you've only been sewing for three days, and the doctor said it took at least ten days to take it apart, don't break the thread and suffer."

Jiang Lizhou was impatient and said, "There is no better and faster way? Can you drink two more packs of medicine?"

Fortune took a step back: "No, just wait, who said that he had the sense to go into that formation."

Jiang Lizhou looked up at him: "Yo, it's so easy to bury me."

Fortune waved his hand: "I didn't bury you, everything I said was the truth."

Lin Qinghe really didn't touch the ground these days. Those monster soldiers who silently destroyed half of the commercial roads have become more and more rampant.

Lin Qinghe was even more angry when he saw Xiao Yuanwen than when he saw the monster soldiers. They sent their disciples out as if they were serving food to others, and they didn't see them back.

After staring at Jianzong for a few days, Cang Jin couldn't bear it anymore, so he sat in the lobby when they were dispatched again, and asked Xiao Yuan about this idiot, but Xiao Yuan asked clearly that he didn't like oil and salt, so he opened his mouth and said : "The immortal sees how to arrange it properly, you come."

The talkative elders were sick and dying, Xiao Yuanwen seemed to feel that no one could stop him even if he handed over Jianzong to others.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of piercing sword energy split half of Xiao Yuanwen's chair, and the people below didn't dare to express their anger, but now they were even more stupefied.

Cen Yu walked in with his hands behind his back, he never learned how to be polite, his backhand was a gust of wind, and threw the master of a sect to the ground.

Xiao Yuan's face turned pale, he staggered up and pointed at Cen Yu "you you you" for a long time.

Cen Yu looked around and snorted coldly: "Is it true that there is no one left in the sword sect? You want to pick someone up, right? Now you can get your wish. I originally came with the fairy Cangjin, but first went to the bottom to look around. It really surprised me, Sect Master Xiao, I used to think that you were not good at martial arts, but I didn't expect that you were not good at brain either."

Xiao Yuanwen was humiliated in front of his disciples, trembling with anger, he still fought back: "Isn't the real person who doesn't recognize Jianzong San Ye? Why do you want to come back again?"

Cen Yu glanced at him: "Where I am willing to go or not, and whoever I am willing to admit and who is not, the suzerain probably has no right to ask."

"As for you," Cen Yu seemed to be looking at something dirty, "I have reason to suspect that you murdered disciples and colluded with demons."

Cen Yu waved his hand: "Throw him in the dungeon, I have to investigate."

After Cen Yu said this, the two disciples took two steps forward hesitantly, Xiao Yuan asked and shouted: "I'm afraid the real man has no evidence, so he can't arrest me!"

Cen Yu smiled: "If you want evidence, then I can only cripple you with my fingers and throw you into the dungeon—what are you doing in a daze? Want to go in and accompany your former suzerain?"

The two disciples didn't dare to hesitate any longer, they went up and grabbed him, Xiao Yuanwen was about to fight back in an instant, Cen Yu raised his hand and hit Xiao Yuanwen's knee, the man couldn't stand up immediately.

The farce was over, Cen Yu sat on the chair, looked around, and asked, "Is Xiao Fan here?"

A disciple cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xiao Fan was sent to Anzhou the day before yesterday."

Cen Yu asked again: "How is the situation in Anzhou now?"

The disciple replied, "Yesterday I also received a letter from my brother saying that everything is fine."

Cen Yu said, "Let him come back when he's safe—where's Xiao Sheng?"

"I was sent to Danzhou yesterday."

Cen Yu frowned displeasedly: "That kid is reckless, don't kill yourself, let him come back too."

The disciple took the order, and Cen Yu took back some of the disciples who had been sent out, and kept some of them to guard the place, which can be regarded as sorting out the messy things about Jianzong.

There are only a lot of disciples sent to the northwest these days, but they are still forced to retreat to the east again and again. The disciples of all sects have suffered heavy losses. Lin Qinghe took a trip to the northwest trade route, and first went to meet the Taoist gate located in the northwest checkpoint. elders of the branch altar.When he got there, he saw a chaotic scene, with Taoist disciples coming in and out, and only a little Taoist priest led him into the hall.

When Lin Qinghe met the elder in charge, he knew that the situation was not good by seeing his gloomy face, but after a rough understanding of the situation, the elder was also battered, so Lin Qinghe left first.

Not long after Lin Qinghe left, a little Taoist priest hurried in from the outside, saluted hurriedly, and said, "Master, it's a child who brought a group of demon soldiers to the door."

The elder stood up and asked in surprise, "Child?"

Little Taoist: "Yes!"

The elder went out: "Go and have a look."
