treacherous world

Zhan Zhao originally thought that this operation went smoothly and was very lucky, but he actually found the real Duan Sulong, and proved that his elder brother didn't seem too bad. Just as he felt relieved, Bai Yutang said to him—— One can only go one, and almost got hit by a trap.

In the middle of the night, a familiar laughter came from an abandoned corner of the imperial palace. It was creepy without any preparation.

As soon as Zhan Zhao heard the weird laughter, he remembered that it was the strange old man of unknown origin who was in the dangerous trap in the ruined temple.The old man didn't leave his name and surname, he was crazy, and he opened his mouth to ask everyone for the music score, but when he heard the name of the young master, he was scared away, leaving a lot of mysteries behind.

Although Zhan Zhao didn't know the origin of this old man, but one thing is clear, that is, this man's kung fu and internal energy are extremely high, he should be higher than him and Bai Yutang, and he is familiar with the mechanism, the formation here should be arranged by him.

"Eldest young master is really good at predicting things, Zhan Hao is smart and not stupid, he was well prepared."

The old man giggled strangely, and the voices came from all directions, because he could control his breath, so it was difficult to tell where he was.

Fortunately, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were battle-tested, and they were not flustered. They identified their directions from the slight changes in their voices, and then... looked at the northwest corner of the house together.

Sure enough, I saw the old man sitting cross-legged on the roof. Unlike before, he was no longer slovenly in rags, but changed into clean clothes. He was wearing a dark green gown. His hair was neatly combed and his eyebrows were trimmed. After that, he looked a lot more normal except for being shriveled and vicious.

"Little ghost, do you know what this formation is called?" the old man asked Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao knew that the one in the ruined temple was called the Sky Spider Formation, so this... seems to be different from the one just now, and more vicious.

"Celestial Silkworm Formation." Bai Yutang replied unhurriedly, "It's the same as the Heavenly Spider Formation but more fierce. It's a long-lost formation."

"Lost?" The old man smiled maliciously, "Didn't you still know each other? You are only lost when you die."

Bai Yutang didn't show weakness either, "Aren't you still alive? I don't know how. You want to be lost so much, so hurry up and die."

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips—it developed into a bickering. As expected, Bai Yutang didn't like the old man, and he hadn't heard him quarrel with anyone for a long time.

The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm here to kill you today.

Zhan Zhao felt harsh when he heard this, but Bai Yutang waved his hand gently, "Don't touch the cat." Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned, not understanding what Bai Yutang said.

Bai Yutang said in a low voice, "Ceremonial silkworm formations are very vicious, and people who don't know how to form them are easy to fall for. The silkworms grow in the Western Regions and are extremely poisonous. Once scratched by silkworm silk, blood will seal their throats."

Zhan Zhao frowned, looked at Bai Yutang - how to break the formation?

The two have always had a tacit understanding, and they can understand each other by exchanging eyes - Zhan Zhao's meaning is very clear, it is absolutely impossible for Bai Yutang to want him to go first, if it is really only possible for one to go back, then no one should go back.

Bai Yutang also knew that it would be impossible to persuade Zhan Zhao to go first by any means here. The wiser way is to get rid of this old man. It would be a very stupid way for Zhan Zhao not to intervene, no matter for Zhan Zhao or himself. , should cooperate with each other.

Bai Yutang knew that Celestial Silk was not afraid of water and fire, it had no flaws, it was soft but very sharp, the most difficult thing to do was it was transparent, it was hard to defend against.Even if they are all cut off, they will be blown away by the wind, and even if they touch a little bit, it may scratch the skin. As long as they see blood, they will definitely die, and Gongsun may not be able to save them.

How can I avoid these silk threads well?unless……

Bai Yutang looked up at Zhan Zhao, coincidentally, Zhan Zhao was also looking at him, the two seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding.As soon as Bai Yutang's eyes moved, Zhan Zhao knew that he had a way to solve it, but at this time, he had to wait for time!

……

At this time, Zhao Pu's barracks gate was busy for a while.

Zhao Pu has always said nothing about military affairs, and he is very annoying when he speaks. You can see how annoying He Yihang, a lieutenant general, has lost his temper at all under his orders.

This time, Gongsun personally took the lead, and a group of shadow guards ran the errands.

Zhao Pu crossed his arms, sat on a table with a stern look, and urged, "Darling, hurry up, your feet are numb from waiting."

Gongsun turned his head and gave him a white look, telling everyone to speed up.

Zhao Pu tilted his head, "Why is this table crooked?"

Gongsun grinds his teeth - I can bear it!He is the marshal, give him some face!

Zhao Pu pouted again, "Oh, the color is really ugly."

Gongsun felt that his scalp was hot, and the fire hit him upwards.

Zhao Pu opened his mouth again, "Huh..." Before he finished speaking, a small hand stretched out from behind and covered his mouth.

Zhao Pu glanced at him, and the fourth son looked at him with big eyes, "Jiujiu, let's ask for a beating."

With a smile, Zhao Pu grabbed the fourth son to the front and rubbed his hair, "I'm not teasing your father, you see he has a serious face and is more anxious than me."

Gongsun really came back to stare at Zhao Pu with a straight face, but after hearing Zhao Pu's words, he realized that his facial expression might be too stiff, so he stretched out his hand to touch his face.He also realized that Zhao Pu was the marshal after all, so he shouldn't be too nervous, so as not to fall into the trap, and he admired it in his heart, Zhao Pu is a rough man with a fine grain, and he doesn't usually see him so thoughtful, did he deliberately let himself in?

At this time, Zhe Ying came over and reported, "My lord, it's all done."

"Okay." Zhao Pu nodded, and asked Lu Tianhan and Lu Dongdi who were frowning beside him, "You two, can we start?"

Lu Tianhan nodded, seeing that Lu Dongdi was motionless and still in a daze, he raised his hand and patted him, "What are you doing?"

Lu Dong frowned, "Tsk...or else you can do it, I'm still worried."

"Hey!" Lu Tianhan grabbed him, and Zhao Pu nodded, "No way, such a big formation is ready! We can't delay the military situation."

Tianzun was watching the excitement with his hands behind his back, and he just smiled slightly when he saw everyone's actions, "Don't worry, Yinhou will follow."

"That's right." Zhao Pu also felt that the old man was too worried, "Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are not vegetarians."

"Otherwise..." Gongsun was still a little worried about Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Tianzun, would you go and help?"

Tianzun waved his hand, "No, you really think Yinhou can only play chess and fool around?"

Everyone is looking at Tianzun, but they are all over 100 years old...

"Don't worry." Tianzun smiled faintly, "If it's about catastrophe, Marquis Yin and I have thought about it, and there is only one. Yutang and the others can handle it. If they can't handle it, he will have no face to come back to see me."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding the mystery, but Tianzun was standing on the high slope at this time, dressed in white clothes, with white hair fluttering gently in the wind, making people look a little dreamlike.

Gongsun scratched his head, thinking it would be better if Tianzun came?

It was the fourth son who hugged him around his waist to cheer him up, "Daddy will be handsome in purple if his hair turns gray in 100 years!"

Gongsun rubbed his hair, not knowing whether to laugh or cry—as expected, his son was well-raised by himself.

Tianzun looked at this side silently, and there seemed to be some sadness in his expression.

Of all the people present, only Zhao Pu noticed the slight change in Tianzun's expression, and felt a little strange in his heart—something seemed to happen.

……

Marching and fighting, especially when the two armies are facing each other, it is not uncommon for one side to line up and practice, or even go to the front of the gate to scold the formation. What is unusual is actually doing something that has nothing to do with fighting.

One or two of the Nanman soldiers were as motionless as stones and wooden posts. According to Zhao Pu's guess, it might be because of the order on the one hand, or because they couldn't understand the language of the Han people, and they were separated by a raging black river.But once something really happens, it's impossible not to be alarmed. If such a big thing happens, the coach doesn't show up, then it can only be said...the opponent's coach is not here, and the opponent's soldiers and horses also have a big problem!

Not to mention, the movement from Zhao Pu's side really caught the attention of the other party.

In the opposing camp, some soldiers began to look around. Zhao Pu climbed to the top of the mountain by himself and took a telescope to look around, feeling strange.He is very experienced in leading troops to fight. Usually, when soldiers start riots, they gather together. One or two people watch, and the others follow suit.This is human nature, the camp may not be chaotic, but everyone has a sense of curiosity, if you don't notice it at all, it is a lack of vigilance.Occasionally there may be a few who are particularly calm, but at least they will take a look.

But the opposing camp was more interesting. The soldiers inside the barracks ran out to look around, while the masked guards outside the barracks didn't even move.And those soldiers who ran out of the barracks didn't ask the soldiers guarding outside, and they didn't communicate with each other... It's weird!

Zhao Pu began to wonder if these guards were stone men or dummies, and the other party was bluffing like himself?

But after thinking about it, it's not right. The opponent is attacking, and you are defending. There is a reason for your bluff. Isn't the opponent's bluff a little full?

At this time, Gongsun appeared on the high platform and made gestures.

There is a reason for him to choose this time.The terrain near Heishui is surrounded by mountains, Gongsun can accurately predict the weather changes, Tianzun has arrived at a certain place in the valley he set, and when the time comes, he will break a rock at the mountain pass with internal force.

On the side of the valley, following Gongsun's words and gesticulations, there was a strong wind.

This wind is by no means a normal night wind, but a monster wind with unknown origin that swirls on the flat ground, which is very strange.

The people in Yingxue Palace know nothing else, they are best at making snow. This time, Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er, two little girls, cooperated seamlessly, coupled with the deep inner strength of the two old men, Lu Tianhan and Lu Dongdi, the sky was filled with snow in an instant.

This is Dali, not to mention the heavy snowfall, the people nearby have never even seen a small snowflake, let alone those Nanman who live in the hot jungle all the year round.

All of a sudden, the Nanman camp was in chaos, everyone came out to catch Luoxue one after another, and some knelt down on the spot, making a mess.

Zhao Pu kept watching from a high place with a binoculars, frowning—the masked warriors of the guards still did not move, could it be that they are really stone men?And none of the enemy commanders was seen—this is too unreasonable.

"My lord."

Zhao Pu turned his face, and saw Ziying was carrying his new Tinghou on his back, and was also aiming at the opposite camp with a telescope, "Why is it so strange?"

"You find it strange too?"

"Yeah, those savages don't understand? Have you been acupunctured? Also, it's understandable that people don't move. Why don't those lions and tigers move?"

Zhao Pu rubbed his chin, also feeling strange, then looked down, and saw the little Sizi who was sitting on the edge of the stage not far away watching Gongsun gesturing, holding the little tiger picked up by Tianzun just now in his hand.If this little tiger says it is small, its teeth are not fully grown and it can't bite, it's all right, isn't it too honest?It's even smarter than a cat when it doesn't move.

"Hmm..." Zhao Pu frowned, "How could this be?"

Just as he was wondering, he saw Xiao Liang running up from below. He was sent by Gongsun to deliver a message, so he asked Zhao Pu, "Master, sir, the wind is about to stop, what should we do next?"

Zhao Pu thought for a while, "Let's go here first."

"Oh." Xiao Liang turned his head and waved his hand in Gongsun's direction, and Gongsun stopped his move. At this time, the wind direction changed slightly... and the snowflakes drifted away into the distance.

Gongsun's closing gesture seemed to deliberately push the wind and snow to the other side, and in an instant... the snowflakes were torn apart like a curtain... and flew away.

Zhao Pu and the others couldn't help clapping their hands—oh, Gongsun is just too serious to be deceived, any emperor who sees this trick will definitely accept him as a national teacher, it's like calling the wind and rain!

Snowflakes flew in the distance, Zhao Pu also looked in the distance, and saw that it was flying in the direction of the Dali Palace.

Zhao Puduo was a shrewd person, and somehow understood what Tianzun meant. He looked at Lu Dongdi subconsciously, and saw that his expression suddenly relaxed a lot, and he was no longer frowning, so he was relieved.

"what?"

At this time, Xiao Liang took Ziying's telescope and looked at the opposite camp, and after a glance, he showed a confused expression.

"Isn't it weird?" Zi Ying poked Xiao Liang, "These soldiers must be playing with one, two, three wooden figures!"

Xiao Liang took off the telescope, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "How does it look like this?"

"Like what?" Zhao Pu immediately asked Xiao Liang.

"Uh..." Xiao Liang thought for a while, "I've seen this before in the desert!"

Zhao Pu didn't quite understand, "Which kind have you seen?"

"I saw some Shaten when I was young." Xiao Liang tilted his head and asked Zhao Pu, "Isn't this similar? Master, you have been in the desert for so long, it is impossible that you have not seen it?"

One word from Xiao Liang reminded Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu lightly stroked his chin with one hand, "Sha Teng...it's true."

Ziying grinned, "My lord, is that the scary Sha Teng? In this way, except for the mask, everything else is exactly the same."

Zhao Pu shook his head, getting more and more curious, "Where did this gang of Nanman come from, and why does it have a demonic aura."
