Yu Hongchen

After Ji Qing and He Suowu left, Shang Lihang tidied up the books on the table, walked out of the study, walked through the courtyard, and came to the guest room where Xie Liuchen lived temporarily.During this period of time, whenever he felt unbearable pain in his chest, he would come to this wing alone and sit in a daze for a long time, and he could not help staying here at night, only when he smelled the unique smell of the quilt, could he sleep peacefully.

But the quilt is alone on the pillow, and his heart is cold and bitter, no matter how many quilts he has, he can't cover him warmly.

After resting for a while, he felt a slight itching from the wound on his heart, so he unbuttoned his clothes in the room, looked down, and saw that the scab the size of a coin had fallen off, leaving only a light white and tender red mark.Shang Lixing looked at the white mark on his heart, smiled wryly for a while, and said to himself: "Is it true that I am being sentimental?"

In the past half a month, apart from dealing with the affairs of the door, he spent the rest of his time alone thinking about the motive of Xie Liuchen's sword.He thought hard for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, since Xie Liuchen had doubts about himself, why he would rather believe in the people of the Demon Race, and never thought of interrogating himself for the truth of the matter, could it be because... President Shang Li sighed , and came up with an even more heartbreaking answer: "Maybe he didn't even think about trusting me?" He fell back on the bed, his eyes were dull, and he looked at the red silk green tent above his head.At this time, there was a whining sound from the backyard, which was sad and complaining. It was the sound of bamboo in the wind, which seemed to be weeping or humming.

Before the small courtyard, only some pine trees and cypresses were planted. Since Xie Liuchen moved in, Shanglihang imitated the scenery of Leiluo Peak and asked the Tuomen to plant dozens of bamboos in the courtyard.Watered by the water of the Sihai Sea, the southern bamboos have grown clumps and clusters in the past half a month, and they have grown more than ten feet from the ground. They were originally used for Xie Liuchen's sword practice, but unfortunately Xie Liuchen's unexpected sword that day took his entire plan upset.

Shang Lixing thought of this, and said angrily: "Whether he believes me or not! When I catch this bad guy tomorrow, let's see how I deal with him!"

After half a day, I saw a doorman come to report that the Yaozu had assembled an army of [-] and was heading towards Qiushuimen. According to the current distance calculation, it will arrive at the headquarters of Qiushuimen in six days.People in the gate were panicked for a while, because there were less than a thousand casual cultivators stationed at the main headquarters of Qiushui gate, and the sect's terrain was on a plain, easy to attack and difficult to defend, how could it counteract the tens of thousands of monster army?The sect members rushed to ask the sect master for instructions on how to meet the enemy, but they only got a short four-character reply from Shang Lixing: "Keep the headquarters well."The sect members privately pondered the meaning of these four characters, but they also knew that the sect master's actions were always unpredictable, maybe it was because he already had a strategy to deal with the enemy, so he was so confident?With a firm mind, I gradually gave up the idea of ​​exploring and returned to my post.

In order not to let the wind leak out, Shang Li did not reveal the matter of cooperating with the Great Demon King, but only pretended to strengthen the defense around Qiushuimen, waiting for the arrival of the demon army.However, he took a few senior casual cultivators with him, went out early and returned late at night, wasted energy, and set up a giant magic circle that could encircle ten thousand people in a deep valley ten miles in front of Qiushuimen.All the chores in the sect were entrusted to Bai Xuan, and Shang Lixing also appointed her to communicate with the major sects to fight against the demon clan.Except for the Yunshan Sword Sect, other sects have sent messages, saying that because the Yaozu allocated [-] troops to deal with Qiushuimen, the pressure has dropped sharply, and there is no need for reinforcements from Qiushuimen to help.The Buchan Palace suffered heavy casualties due to the previous monster clan's attack. For half a month, it has devoted itself to reviving its combat power and deploying subordinates. The entire palace has been reinforced with a three-layer magic circle. It is as towering as Mount Tai and as solid as gold. However, Buchan Palace and the Demon King are at odds with each other, and the Demon King dared to attack him, telling him that he would never return.

When Shang Lixing was free, he sent several secret letters to Yunshan Jianzong, but he never heard from him. I don't know what happened?Shang Lixing was worried, but when the wind and rain were turbulent, he didn't dare to leave Qiushuimen easily, so he summoned several trusted casual practitioners to fly to Yunshan Jianzong to investigate the situation.

The [-] elite soldiers of the Yao clan approached step by step, like a broken bamboo, and gradually approached the plain where the Qiushui Gate was located. Shang Lixing immediately ordered the gatekeepers to retreat five li and flee into the valley.The monster army didn't know what to do, they trekked through mountains and rivers, and the more they marched, the faster they marched. Fortunately, all the way from the south bank was a deserted plain and river bank, and the monster army had no chance of harming mortals.

Six days later, the monster army finally arrived at the plain in front of Qiushuimen, only ten feet away from the giant magic circle set up by Shanglihang.The leader is the follower Han Zhu who is good at wielding the demon fire.

Shang Lixing led dozens of casual practitioners to stop in front of the magic circle, next to a stone tablet.The hunting mountain wind blows his long ink-dyed hair. He is wearing a black robe, holding an ebony staff, his eyes are like the sea of ​​stars, his face is solemn, and he has a majestic bearing and a strong character.

Han Zhu ordered the army to stop at the place, led the crowd out, separated a shrub from Shang Li Xing, and looked at each other from afar.

"I've seen you before." Han Zhu said, "350 years ago, I saw you in Xiaopan Mountain, Nanling."

Xiaopan Mountain is located on the west bank of the Nanling Continent, and it is the place where Shang Lihang and the former Demon King met for the first time.

Shang Lixing raised his eyebrows, and also remembered the past: "At that time, it was you who was by the side of the previous demon king."

Han Zhu said loudly: "That's right. At that time, my king traveled to Nanling, and hit it off with a young man at Xiaopan Mountain. He lamented that the vicissitudes of life have changed, and the stars have changed. People in the world have come and gone. After thousands of years, who can be the leader? Who would have thought , Hundreds of years later, we are actually facing each other here?"

Shang Lixing said: "Since you are loyal to the previous Demon King, you should know about the signing of the agreement between the previous Demon King and the human race. Why are you willing to let him be sent and offend me at Nanling for no reason?"

Han Zhu said bluntly: "I am a member of the demon clan, so naturally I am at the mercy of the demon king."

Shang Lixing recalled the big demon king who visited a few nights ago, and chuckled: "Which one is the real demon king and which one is the fake demon king, your subordinates don't know, don't you?"

Hearing that there was something in his words, Han Zhu changed the topic and said: "It seems that you are Shang Lixing, so you are not dead."

Shang Lixing continued calmly: "The enemy is not defeated, how dare you die?"

Han Zhu resolutely said: "Why would you dare to die if you are so good! Today I will let you die what you deserve!" After saying that, the flags were raised high, the noise shook the sky, and he ordered the [-] troops behind him to charge into battle!

The monster army got the order and shouted in unison, the people and horses spread out like ripples, all over the mountains and plains, killing generals came over, and gradually became a encirclement trend, besieging the unmoving Shang Lixing people in the valley.

Shang Lixing didn't move his body, letting tens of thousands of people surround him tightly, and never took his eyes off the commander among the crowd.Han Zhu saw his calm demeanor of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his face, secretly admired him in his heart, and said: "Ten people want to deal with our tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the leader of the merchant sect is also very supportive!"

Shang Lixing smiled, and said slowly, "How do you know if I'm trying to trick you, or if I really have a plan?"

The cold bamboo sinus is full of doubts. Looking around, I can see the valley is low, the distant mountains are lush and high forests, blocking the sun, and there is white snow beyond the mountains and forests, connecting with the clouds.Suspecting that the snow mountain was treacherous, he ordered the monster army to surround it more closely, and stay away from the snow mountain that would collapse at any time.The monster army obeyed his orders, and the army that had been scattered in the wild approached again and gathered densely on the ten-mile plain.

Han Zhu looked at the calm Shang Lixing, and said loudly: "Where's your magic circle? Why isn't it showing?"

Shang Lixing remained calm and asked, "What magic circle? How could I not know?"

Seeing that he was pretending to be crazy and being stupid, Han Zhu ordered them all to be arrested. At this moment, he felt the ground tremble, and there was a loud bang in the distance. Singing, cracking stones and piercing clouds.Immediately there was a commotion from the monster army: "What's going on?" "Avalanche!"

Han Zhu looked in amazement, and saw lumps of milky white snow collapsing on the steep cliff in the distance, pouring down, rushing towards the monster army.Xiya Mountain is evergreen in four seasons, and extreme weather is rare. The people of Yaozu have never seen any ice melt and snow disappear. Seeing this turbulent movement, they all looked ashen, and some people even cried out in fright.Who would have thought that the louder they shouted, the more violent the avalanche would be, and the snowballs would rush down and smash into the demon tribe's troops, causing the demon tribe's army to fall apart immediately.In the midst of the turmoil, one could only hear Shang Lixing's faint voice: "Is it you or me..."

Han Zhu was anxious in his heart, so he hurriedly used the demon fire to ignite the oncoming snow into water vapor, and then ordered the army of demon clan to guard the spot. Fortunately, all the elite soldiers of the clan who followed him on the expedition were quick-witted, and the fear disappeared in his heart. It was difficult, but there was no need to explain more, so he spontaneously tidied up his appearance and arranged them in an orderly manner beside him.

Shang Lixing saw it clearly from the side of the cliff, and thought that this person is the one who is good at wielding the demon fire. Whether it is to eliminate the danger of the demon fire or to avenge Ji Rou, this person must not Keep.Thinking of this, he pulled out the Zhanran Qiushui sword, his clothes fluttered, and disappeared on the cliff in the blink of an eye.

Han Zhu ordered to rectify the demon army, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ribs. It turned out that Shang Lixing took advantage of the unpreparedness of the monsters, flew his light sword, broke into the army of thousands of monsters, and stabbed him with the sword.

Han Zhu tightly covered the wound, and took three steps back, suddenly heard a cracking sound from the ground, the sound was very faint, and could not be heard under normal circumstances, but Han Zhu was in extreme pain at this time, on the contrary, his eyesight and ears became clearer. Sternly enduring the pain, he shouted loudly: "No, it's not a snow mountain! Everyone get out!"

The sound became louder and louder. With the cracking sound that resounded through the sky, the whole valley shook, the trees fell to the ground, the river boiled, and a gap was opened around the monster army, and a magnificent white light glowed from the crack in the valley. , The mountains, forests, vegetation, rivers, and snow powder also echoed, sparkling with light.With Heyue as the carrier and water and trees as the sacrificial objects, the giant spirit-inducing magic circle set up by Shang Lixing took shape here, encircling the monster army, and not a single bird could fly out.

The monster army thought they had escaped a catastrophe, but they didn't expect that the real trap of Shang Lixing was under their feet, and their expressions suddenly changed. They pushed each other, swarmed with ants, and couldn't escape at all.Han Zhu secretly sighed in his heart: "What a Shang Lixing, this defeat is not unfair!" His eyes went dark, and then his feet were empty, and he fell into the boundless darkness together with tens of thousands of monster soldiers.

Han Zhu didn't die in the end.It turned out that Shang Lixing thought of Xie Liuchen at the critical moment. He had heard He Suwu said that Han Zhu still had a three-pointed compassion for this person, and he also knew that this person had followed the previous demon king, so he must be bigger than the moody one. The demon king was more reliable, and his thoughts changed, instead of killing Han Zhu, he simply trapped him in the formation.

Shang Li trapped Han Zhu and those people in the magic circle, then entered the dark magic circle, looked at Han Zhu who was sitting on the ground healing his wounds, and promised: "As long as you tell me the whereabouts of one person, I will not kill you."

Han Zhu nodded slowly: "I know, you are talking about the boy who was brought back to Xiya Mountain by Wang."

Shang Lixing said: "It's really easy for me to kill you, but for the sake of the former Demon King, I can let you go, as long as you tell the whereabouts of that person."

Han Zhu laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Hahaha, Master Shangmen, I am not such an ignorant young man, you said that you will not kill me, but you did not say that Qiushuimen will not kill me, you use this to deceive me , might as well persuade me to surrender.”

Shang Lixing was not annoyed when he saw through his inner thoughts, he shook his head and said: "I can't stop the sect's actions, you killed Ji Rou, Qiushuimen can't forgive you lightly."

However, Han Zhu refused to accept his stubbornness: "Kill me, and you will never get the whereabouts of that boy."

Shang Lixing asked sternly, "Where is he?"

Han Zhu heard the tension in his tone: "You care about him?"

Shang Lixing repeated: "Where is he?"

Han Zhu said: "He is already dead."

Shang Lixing said with a sullen face: "Why don't you say it? Since you don't say it, then you will stay in the formation forever!" After finishing speaking, he walked out of the formation with a flick of his sleeves.

After he left, Han Zhu finally let go of all his defenses, thinking in his heart: "How can I tell the king about this as soon as possible?"
