Chapter 144 After this battle, the prosperity of the east and the decline of the west have become a
Lin Qingxuan felt mixed feelings in his heart after seeing that Afanti was not only dead, but also that his life span had expired and his vitality had been greatly depleted.
First, he silently recited the Sutra of Transforming Humans to Transcend One or Two, and then praised Afanti for his extraordinary mind and heart, and that he was worthy of being a peerless great master.
By this time, Lin Qingxuan was certain that Afanti knew that his life was about to end when he invited him to the Vatican in Rome for a duel last year.
I'm afraid this Afanti originally wanted to die of old age in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, but the Quanzhen Sect suddenly emerged, and he single-handedly wiped out the three major sects. This made Afanti realize that the Quanzhen Sect with the presence of Qingxuan Zhenjun is no match for the Quanzhen Sect.
Tianfang Sect has a crushing trend.
That's why he suddenly took action, just to kill himself before death, so as to alleviate the disaster of Tianfang Sect.
However, he knew that it would be difficult to kill him after the failed attempt last year, so Afanti invited him to come to Rome for a duel.
Lin Qingxuan felt that what Afanti wanted at that time was to catch all the masters of various sects.
Since Afanti already knew that he would not live long, he still invited Prince Vsevolod, who has the highest martial arts in the Orthodox Church, Robin Hood and others who have enmity with their Tianfang Sect, and King Wolf of the Vikings, who has the highest martial arts in Europe.
, then once these people come, Afanti may not be prepared to let them leave alive.
Most of these people were church leaders or leaders who had a feud with the Tianfang Sect. Lin Qingxuan believed that the simple-minded Ulf was probably the person Affanti had invited to deal with him.
The fact is indeed as Lin Qingxuan guessed. When Afanti learned that Quanzhen's great rise was unstoppable, he prepared to die before dragging the religious masters of the Orthodox Church, the Holy See and the Nordic polytheistic religions and the Quanzhen Sect Qingxuan Zhenjun to go to hell together.
Just because he wanted to complete the victory in one battle, he had already made up his mind to go to Rome.
After thinking about it, Lin Qingxuan felt that Afanti's mental methods and careful consideration were indeed worthy of awe, and he was worthy of being the most outstanding figure in the Western Region in the past three hundred years.
In fact, if Afanti had not come to Rome to fight with the masters and duel, he could still live for a few days or a month or two if his vitality was not depleted. But if a person like him knew that his life was about to end, how could he be greedy for life and not plan for future generations?
foundation.
In order to eliminate all the formidable enemies of the Tianfang Sect, the final battle with Lin Qingxuan exhausted his energy, and he eventually died in the pinnacle duel at St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican in Rome.
However, Afanti is worthy of being a peerless great master, almost a martial arts myth. Before he died, he saw that the two gates "Burning Jue Sixth Heaven" and "Black Water True Law Sixth Heaven" that Lin Qingxuan had painstakingly created were already vaguely visible.
The magical power that reveals the rudiments of Taoism and Immortality.
With nearly a hundred years of cultivation, he was still in awe. He realized that there seemed to be another way to go up the path of martial arts. Therefore, at the end of his life, he forgot everything about the fame and fortune faction and just indulged in Lin Qingxuan's "water, fire, yin and yang".
ball" and laughed away.
Lin Qingxuan, as a peerless grandmaster, could understand Afanti's mood and knew that he died happily and happily.
Lin Qingxuan felt that Afanti's mentality before his death was probably the same as Confucius said, "It is enough to die in the morning if you hear the Tao in the evening."
It was already late at night, but standing on top of St. Peter's Basilica and looking to the southeast, one could see brightly lit lights in many places in the Roman city across the river, and thousands of soldiers were vaguely waiting in formation on both sides of the river.
Ulf's Viking war cry let the Roman generals know that no matter how many soldiers rushed into the Vatican, they would only die in vain, so they could only send fast horses to report the message to the old Templars hiding in Sicily, and at the same time choose to retreat in
By the river, to prevent Ulf and others from breaking into the city of Rome.
Looking at the corpses strewn in the Holy See, the smell of blood caused countless ravens to circle and crow, adding to the desolation.
Under the deserted moonlight, Lin Qingxuan sighed quietly and said with emotion: "The old place lingers, the old friends disappear, and the sound is lost. Thinking of life and death, forever, who can protect it?"
At this time, the Nordic polytheism has long been extinct, and the last Viking king Ulf, who was able to suppress the masters of the Western Regions, also died here. This Viking warfare method has not survived in my heavenly mirror, and I am afraid that there is no trace of it in Europe.
The whole picture has been revealed, so Nordic polytheism and Viking culture may have come to an end here.”
Before Lin Qingxuan finished speaking, he was still thinking in his heart: The Pope Archbishop of the Holy See and the leader of the Knights Templar were all killed by Afanti, and the Temple Guards who protected the Holy Land of the Vatican were killed by Ulf.
Thousands of people. At this time, I am afraid that the Holy See of Rome is almost gone even if its incense is not cut off. Not only are 90% of the top officials dead, but the most terrifying thing is that the inheritance of the secret method is cut off. Therefore, it is an inevitable outcome for the Holy See of Rome to be in ruins.
The Orthodox Church is already much weaker than the Holy See. Now that Eastern Europe has been occupied by Mongolia, the nine princes, Prince Vsevolod and his son, who were supported by the Orthodox Church and represented the highest strength of the Orthodox Church, have all been killed.
The territory of the Orthodox Church is close to Mongolia, and it also assassinated the Quanzhen Sect disciples. In the future, the Orthodox Church will bear the brunt of Mongolia's expansion. When the three major religions are destroyed, it is destined to be the first to be destroyed by Mongolia and the Quanzhen Sect in the future.
of Western religion.
Calculating it this way, the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Nordic polytheism will all be destroyed sooner or later. Even if they are not destroyed immediately, they have all lost their incense and are unable to recover.
On the contrary, the Tianfang Sect is still very popular in the Middle East. Although the leader sect, the Muir Purity Sect, is extinct, there are still more than 10 large and small sects that support the lintel of the Tianfang Sect.
That's why Afanti agreed to a duel with Lin Qingxuan before he died. If he died, asking Lin Qingxuan not to call out the Tianfang Sect to kill them all would ensure that Lin Qingxuan would not take action, and the Jin Ping Quanzhen Sect could not threaten the Tianfang Sect.
After all, judging from the current situation of the various religions in the Western Regions, as long as Lin Qingxuan does not take action, the Quanzhen Sect and Mongolia will not be able to wipe out the Tianfang Sect, let alone wipe them out for no reason. The other sects in the Western Regions have been severely damaged by this peak Roman showdown.
Doomed to wither, it will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Tianfang Sect.
In a few decades, the Tianfang Sect will probably become a popular sect in the Middle East and even Europe along with the Quanzhen Sect.
How could Lin Qingxuan, who had figured this out, not marvel at Afanti's great wisdom and courage? How could he not admire his spirit of working hard for future generations and the prosperity of the sect?
Until now, no master except Lin Qingxuan has been spared. This drama of a decisive battle on the top of Rome is finally over.
However, Lin Qingxuan looked at the tragic death of these martial arts masters, whose lowest level was at the top of the Central Earth, and whose highest level was comparable to the Grand Master. He felt sad in his heart, especially for the death of Afanti, who was comparable to the Chongyang Patriarch, Huang Shang, Dugu Qiubai and other peerless masters.
Very emotional.
Looking at Hou Tonghai, Lin Qingxuan ordered: "Old Hou, please find a place to bury Afanti's body. After all, he is also a great master of the generation. He can't leave his body to be insulted, as well as those experts.
They were also buried together, so there is no need to erect a monument. Once you have finished this, go back to Kiev to the Emmanuel Temple."
After saying this, Lin Qingxuan floated down from the roof of St. Peter's Cathedral without waiting for Hou Tonghai to salute and accept his promise. He landed just in front of Afanti's donkey. He reached out and took out a few parchment rolls from the package on the donkey's back.
After reading it, it turns out that they are all magical secrets written in Arabic characters with strong characteristics of the Western Regions. Although each mental formula is biased compared to Jiuyin Magic and Xiantian Gong, it can still be seen that it is exquisite and unparalleled.
, the level of advanced martial arts is no longer lower than that of the top martial arts in Middle-earth.
After Lin Qingxuan integrated the Divine Art of Bathing Fire and the Great Shift of the Universe into the Burning Jue and the Blackwater True Technique, he deduced the sixth-level mental method based on this. At this time, he already knew that the Burning Jue and the Blackwater True Technique were transcendent martial arts.
It is a magical skill that I have learned, so if you want to continue to perfect it, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
However, if there are top-level magical arts with different styles and characteristics from those of Chinese martial arts as reference and verification, it can still provide many directions for deduction.
Therefore, Lin Qingxuan was very happy to obtain these top magical skills from the Western Regions, and thought to himself: With the help of these secret books, I can save me thirty years of hard work in deducing the subsequent mental methods.
In addition to the "Dengxiao Sheng Kung" taught by the Tianfang Sect, Afanti also has all the martial arts secrets he has learned and created throughout his life here. When Lin Qingxuan and Afanti fought, he activated the Tianyan Mirror and observed many martial arts on his own.
The formula is very essential, and when I look at these secrets now, I feel even more deeply.
Valley is
Knowing that he would have to practice quietly for several years if he wanted to master all the practices, he immediately put the secret book in his arms. Then Lin Qingxuan let out a long sigh, turned over and rode on the back of the donkey, and sang loudly: "The light shines all over the river sand...
The Holy Spirit shares my home...
A single thought cannot be fully manifested...the six faculties are covered by clouds...the elimination of worries and the increase of diseases...the pursuit of truth is also evil...
Follow the fate of the world without any worries...Nirvana, life and death, etc. are all in vain..."
After singing loudly, Lin Qingxuan, who was riding a donkey, walked away, and the remaining singing echoed in the Vatican Square.
Hou Tonghai went over to carry Avanti on his back and looked at Joyce who was still there in a daze. He used the French he learned from Vsevolod and his son, jumping around the words in reverse order and said: "Your...grandpa...body...
...you...put...in the soil..."
Only then did Joyce come back to her senses, and then staggered to the bodies of Robin Hood and Little John. However, although she had some skills, her limbs were weak due to excessive fright, and Little John's body was too big for her to carry.
After watching Robin Hood, I looked at Little John’s body and lost my mind.
Hou Tonghai saw that she was a little pitiful, thinking that he had no relatives, so he went over and broke off a wooden stick at the collapsed hole of St. Peter's Cathedral, helped Joyce lift up Little John with the wooden stick, and then the two of them carried
He walked slowly behind the three corpses.
Hou Tonghai only had one arm, which was very inconvenient, so it took the two of them an hour to move the bodies of Little John, Robin Hood, Avanti, Vsevolod and his son, and Ulf out of the Vatican City.
A dozen large pits were dug randomly in a forest under the city and they were buried one by one.
Although Lin Qingxuan said there was no need to erect a monument, Hou Tonghai saw that Joyce had erected two crosses with wooden sticks in front of the low mound where his two grandfathers were buried.
In front of the pit, several Chinese characters were carved on stones - "Tomb of Afanti of Tianfang Sect".
After flexing his wrists, Hou Tonghai thought for a while and then pulled out the wooden board and crushed it. Then he reached out and pulled out the crosses in front of Robin Hood and Little John's graves, and used his broadsword to level the two graves.
Joyce thought Hou Tonghai was showing his bestiality, so she was so frightened that she pulled out the dagger from her waist and stabbed Hou Tonghai on his vest.
Hou Tonghai grabbed Joyce's wrist and kicked her down. Joyce rushed at her again. After a few moves, Hou Tonghai got tired of it and gave her two big mouths. Then he cursed angrily: "The Holy See saw that
…dig up the body and destroy it to vent your anger!”
Hou Tonghai's French is not good, so in the second half of the sentence, he changed to Chinese, but he was making gestures with one hand while speaking. Joyce also guessed Hou Tonghai's intention, and her already red face turned red.
.
"Yes...I'm sorry...I wrongly blamed you..."
Joyce bowed and apologized, then stepped forward to help Hou Tonghai return the cemetery where more than ten people were buried to normal ground, and spread hay and straw to cover it.
By the time the two of them finished their work, the east was already white and the sky was dawning.
Hou Tonghai felt very happy after Afanti died at the hands of True Monarch Qingxuan. He felt that the blood feud between his senior brothers, Brother Peng and Monk Lingzhi had been avenged, and he had obtained the complete version of the Holy Knight's body training method.
You only need to turn your spiritual light to observe good lives and practice for ten or eight years, and your skills will be greatly improved.
Seeing that the sky was dim and bright, I could still vaguely hear the hissing of people inside the Vatican. I knew that after enduring the night, I realized that there was no sound in the Vatican, and the Roman soldiers entered.
Worried that he would be found by the Roman pursuers if he delayed further, Hou Tonghai said to Joyce: "Girl, your grandfather is dead. It's not safe for you to be a girl in Rome. Go home quickly."
After Hou Tonghai finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. But Joyce whispered with a dazed look in her eyes: "Where am I going? England seems to be my home, but my grandma has died long ago, my father and mother have also died long ago, and only my grandpa and
Grandpa Little John is my relative. Now they are also dead. I have no relatives and no home. Where can I go?"
Hou Tonghai didn't understand much, but he could tell that the girl was very sad, so he immediately shook his head and left quickly.
After a while, a small group of cavalry wearing iron armor and red cross linen robes suddenly appeared. When they spotted the girl, they shouted and rushed over.
At this time, it was too late to escape. Joyce hurriedly picked up the dagger and broadsword at her feet and leaned against the big tree, preparing to fight to the death. At the same time, she secretly cursed herself for being confused, focusing only on being sad and forgetting that she was still outside the city of Rome.
Just when Joyce was so frightened that she turned pale, but still raised her broadsword high and waited for the Templar cavalry to rush in front of her, a green shadow flashed, and then Hou Tonghai held a big wooden club with one arm and smashed down the two cavalrymen.
Then he jumped up and started fighting with the remaining seven cavalry.
Joyce felt relieved, and looking at Hou Tonghai's ugly and terrifying appearance made her feel more at ease, and she immediately drew her sword and went to assist.
After a while, the two of them worked together to kill the remaining seven cavalry, but they also heard a large group of cavalry galloping in the distance. Hou Tonghai immediately frowned and said: "Follow me and escape from Rome."
Joyce had already run out of ideas and could only listen to Hou Tonghai's words. Then the two of them headed south, specifically choosing the mountain roads that horses could not walk on. After walking for more than an hour, they gradually stopped hearing the rumble of horse hooves behind them.
The pursuit sounded.
Hou Tonghai sat down and gasped, frowning and said: "You girl doesn't look like a child, why don't you have any idea?"
Joyce didn't understand what Hou Tonghai said, so she smiled and left. After a while, she came back with two rabbits, and then skillfully handled them and started a fire to roast them.
Hou Tonghai ate the rabbit meat and praised loudly: "It tastes good. You are the granddaughter of Robin Hood. It is said that he lives in the mountains and forests. It is no wonder that you are a good hunter following him."
Hou Tonghai ate Joyce's barbecue, which was very delicious. He thought that it would take a long time to return to Kiev, and he didn't understand the language of the Semu people. It would be better to let this woman follow him. She could also serve him food and drink on the way, and it would be much easier to ask for directions and negotiate.
.
Hou Tonghai thought for a moment and said slowly in a mixture of Slavic and French: "If you really have nowhere to go, just come back to Kiev with me. My senior brother is also dead, and the Yellow River Gang is gone. At my age, I'm afraid
There is no chance of returning to China. The inheritance of the martial arts of the Yellow River Clan cannot be cut off.
If you have nowhere to go, come back to Kiev with me. I will teach you martial arts and you will have someone to rely on in the future. We can take care of each other when we travel together. If I leave you, I'm afraid you will be killed in Rome if you don't leave.
People from the Holy See killed him."
Joyce seemed to understand. She looked up at Hou Tonghai and saw that he had gray hair, an ugly face, and was missing an arm, but his expression was full of kindness. He was very similar to her two grandfathers, and her eyes suddenly smiled.
Hong stood up and said in Slavic: "I'll go with you."
After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, they headed south. Not long after they left, Hou Tonghai began to regret secretly again. He cursed in his heart: Lao Hou, Lao Hou, you have never done anything good in your life, why did you do the right thing?
You feel pity for this girl. Regardless of whether she will be killed in Rome, why did you come to save her? It has only delayed your journey.
She muttered in her heart that Hou Tonghai didn't have a very good attitude towards Joyce, but Joyce had not traveled far away for more than ten years and had not been in contact with many outsiders. After being rescued by Hou Tonghai once, she decided that he was a good person and agreed.
Go back with Hou Tonghai.
At this time, Joyce regarded Hou Tonghai as her teacher's relative. The two of them walked on mountain roads along the way. She took the initiative to hunt, cook and find water. On the contrary, she took good care of Hou Tonghai. Within two days, Hou Tonghai
Tonghai was very satisfied again.
The two of them escaped from the pursuers all the way out of Rome. During the period, they went to a town to buy some food and were chased by the pursuers. Fortunately, Hou Tonghai's martial arts is now the best in Europe. After he killed dozens of people in a row,
The two of them escaped.
After dodging and stopping, it took three or four days to reach the southwest seaside. Joyce disguised herself and went to the village to inquire about it, only to find out that it was four to five hundred miles away from Rome. Going further forward was the seaside.
Across the sea seems to be Sicily, a large island in the Mediterranean Sea.
