Five hundred and twentieth nine chapters high priest
"High Priest, we meet again."
This area is like a paradise, with high and gentle mountains, surrounded by large rivers. Cherry blossom trees, which are rare in the Central Plains, can be seen everywhere here, with colorful fallen flowers and fragrant fragrance.
The breeze swept by, and the water vapor spread all over the mountains and inside, soaking every inch of the land and every inch of green leaves. It was noon, tomorrow was high, cold and hot alternated, clouds and mists suddenly appeared, misty and invisible, this is the fairyland on earth.
Standing among them, looking as far as the eye can see, there are towering peaks standing next to each other. Although most of the mountains are only a hundred feet high, looking around, they are getting higher and higher, and the terrain is quite strange and spiraling.
Looking down, people with different costumes from the Central Plains are working in it, producing in it, and hunting in it. However, at the same time, the core mountain peak of this area welcomes a distinguished guest.
He holds a Yin-Yang wooden staff and wears a light white Yin-Yang Taoist robe. His beard and hair are all white, and there is a two-foot-long beard under his chin. As he walks, his long beard sways, his crown is tied up, and his eyes are twinkling, making him look old.
His face showed a different kind of spirit.
"Haha, Nangong, I remember the last time you came to Shushan was fifteen years ago. Why are you free to come to Shushan now? Please!"
Wearing a light gray robe, his gray hair was combed casually behind his back, and he had a white beard no more than an inch long. He held a strange mahogany staff and had strange power all over his body. He looked at the old man in Taoist robes in front of him,
The man smiled and spoke.
After he finished speaking, he glanced left and right, and everyone who was waiting for him retreated, leaving a flat road leading to the tall stone hall not far away. After bowing politely, Nangong followed him.
"Old friends, you avoid the world and pay little attention to the world of mortals."
"If there is nothing urgent, Nangong will not disturb the high priest's purification. I hope you will forgive me!"
Nangong was naturally the Nangong of Chu who was almost killed by Zhou Qing when he was in Wei. He came down with a yin and yang ceremony and nodded to the high priest and elders of Shushan.
They are all people of the Qing Dynasty, and they are all people who uphold the ancient decree and protect the seal. Although they cannot escape from the world, it does not mean that they are not clear about the affairs of the outside world. As they step on the gravel road, words fall and a trace of light flashes across their faces.
Ashamed.
"It doesn't matter. In the past, Nangong helped me in Shushan to escape the catastrophe. For decades, there has been no repayment. If there is something urgent, Nangong please tell me quickly. If we can do it, we will not refuse.
!”
Decades ago, Sima of the Qin army entered Shu by mistake and attacked Shushan. Because some people in Shushan rebelled, the elite soldiers of the Qin army had already overwhelmed the Shushan boundary. Fortunately, at that time, people from the Yin and Yang family who had been friends with Shushan for generations took action.
, persuaded Ba State, Chu State came forward to suppress Qin State.
The Qin general Sima retreated by mistake, and Shushan escaped the catastrophe. Maybe many people in Shushan didn't know it, but as the high priest, I and the elders present were still aware of it.
This kind of kindness has always been remembered. Today, Nangong came here and spoke about something important. The high priest moved his heart. If the matter can be settled as soon as possible, it should be done successfully. Therefore, his slightly old face is quite firm.
"It's not Nangong who has something urgent, but something urgent in Shushan. The high priest has extraordinary cultivation. Could it be that he can't sense that a disaster is about to hit Mount Shu?"
Holding the yin and yang wooden staff, Duke Nan of Chu walked in slowly. Hearing the words of the high priest, he shook his head slightly, stopped, looked around at the void, and looked into the sky. The entire Shu Mountain was exceptionally quiet and peaceful.
It's a pity that I don't know how long this quietness and peace can last.
"Is there a big disaster coming to Shushan?"
"Nangong, what do you mean by this statement?"
The high priest also stopped for a moment. Hearing Chu Nangong's words, his expression changed slightly. The other elders beside him were also puzzled, their eyes flickered, and the mahogany staff in his hand loomed with a faint red light.
After counting the breaths, ask lightly.
"Qin wants to dispatch a large army to attack Shushan!"
Chu Nanggong paused the staff in his hand, said something, and looked at the high priest with flashing eyes.
"This..., since Qin's troops invaded Shu Mountain decades ago, we have been staying within the barrier without taking a single step. How could we attract the Qin army to attack?"
The Kingdom of Shu was destroyed, and the Shu Mountains were shaken by it. The Qin army was unparalleled in its warriors, and the entire Shu Mountains trembled. After that battle, I restrained the people in the entire Shu Mountains not to step out of the barrier easily.
Even if you step out of the barrier, don't use the name of Shu Mountain to cause trouble to outsiders, so as not to bring trouble to Shu Mountain. Recently, with your spiritual appearance and spiritual awareness, and the use of secret techniques, the entire Shu Mountain has not suffered disaster.
"The high priest and the elders naturally did not step outside the barrier, but some people from Shushan did."
"A few years ago, a cultivator from Shushan tried to attack Qin Wang Yingzheng in Qinian Palace, but he was defeated and died. Last year, another cultivator from Shushan was in Linzi, Qi, trying to attack Qin Dao.
Mr. Wu Zhen was defeated and died."
"A current king and a high-ranking monarch were all caused by people from Shushan. Qin's law came down, and Shushan can hardly be blamed. Recently, I got news from Xianyang that Zhenjun Daowu of the Qin State wanted to personally lead the army.
, attack Shushan!"
"As expected, he should be in the city of Chengdu in Shu County now. Soon, the army will be sent to Shu Mountain!"
With a slight smile on his face, Chu Nan Gong glanced at the high priest and Shushan elders present. He did not hide the reason, and besides, it was not a secret.
Based on the high priest's cultivation, he can tell whether it is true or false.
"Assault and kill Qin King Yingzheng, attack and kill Qin's feudal lord!"
"This... is not my plan in Shushan. Why did the Qin State do this? What should we do?"
In an instant, a dazzling red mysterious light spread all over the high priest's body, and the energy in his body became unstable. He immediately suppressed it, his expression was extremely ugly, and he murmured, whether it was to attack the King of Qin or to kill the Qin State Feng.
Jun.
I don't even know about this, but I see that Chu Nangong's words are not false. Could it be that those who escaped from Shushan did it again? Could it be that they don't know that they are inseparable from Shushan.
A trace of panic flashed across his face, as did the other elders beside him. Although they were cultivators, they had been aware of the power of Qin in recent years. The Qin army's warriors were unparalleled. With the power of Shushan, it was impossible to resist.
.
"This matter has been decided by the Qin court. On the way to Shushan, Nangong has noticed that there are many spies of the Qin army around the boundary. Those who should be prepared as vanguards."
"There are thirty thousand soldiers in the entire Shu County, standing tall and wild. The entire Chengdu is thousands of miles away with fertile fields, abundant food, and elite soldiers. However, there are only a few thousand soldiers in Shu Mountain, so it is difficult to resist."
"Furthermore, the leader of the army this time is the Qin Ting Daowu Zhenjun, and he is a disciple of the Taoist Tianzong. Although he is not old, his cultivation level has broken through the profound entrance. Unless the high priest's cultivation level goes further, he will not be able to resist."
Duke Nan of Chu spoke again, which made the people in Shushan, who were already looking extremely ugly, look even sadder. They looked at each other, and tens of thousands of troops surrounded them. With the strength of Qin's elite soldiers, Shushan was unable to resist.
Moreover, the person who leads the army as mentioned by Duke Nan of Chu, Xuan Qingzi of the Taoist Tianzong, has already broken through the Mysterious Pass. This is not something they can resist. Warriors of that level are rare even in ancient times.
"It must be the trouble caused by Wu Yuan, Wu Duan and others. Decades ago, they did not want to stay in Shu Mountain to escape the world and ran away. Except for them, no one in Shu Mountain disobeys the orders of the high priest!"
The collapse of the sky has added to the catastrophe, and the elders of Shushan looked at each other. For decades, they have been graceful in Shushan, but now a catastrophe has fallen from the sky. It is absolutely impossible to say that they are not angry in their hearts.
A middle-aged man with a strong build, bare arms, wearing coarse linen clothes, with green marks on his face, his light yellow hair hanging loosely behind his shoulders, holding a steel-edged knife, and said with hatred.
"High Priest, the Qin army is coming, what should we do?"
There is no point in continuing to talk about the misfortune of Wu Yuan and others. The current plan should be to think about how to solve the immediate trouble and how to save Shushan from this disaster.
The eyes of the elders flickered, and after a few breaths, they automatically focused on the high priest.
"This..., this... as Nangong said just now, the leader of the army this time is a disciple of the Taoist Tianzong. In the past, the Taoist Zhuang Zhou came to Shushan several times, and I have seen him several times. The Tianzong has always been extraordinary.
, can’t escape from the world.”
"Why are there disciples who are high-ranking and powerful lords in the Qin court?"
Facing the gazes of the Shushan elders beside him, the high priest felt helpless. Like them, he had stayed in Shushan for decades and was proficient in strategy.
However, the high priest was quite surprised to hear that the person leading the army this time was from the Taoist Tianzong. The Taoist Tianzong had had some friendship with Shushan for hundreds of years. Since he was a disciple of the Taoist Tianzong, there was no way that things would turn around.
.
"The high priest wants to talk to the Taoist Tianzong Xuan Qingzi?"
The Shushan elders present may not understand the meaning of the high priest, but how could Chu Nan Gong not realize that, yes, Shushan and the Taoist Tianzong also have a predestined relationship. If they can talk to each other, the catastrophe is not inevitable.
"I wonder if Nan Gong knows the title of the Taoist Tianzong?"
The high priest pondered for a few breaths, and then nodded. If he could see the other party in person, it would be a way to show that Shushan had no intention of harming the Qin court, and to show Shushan's willingness to hide from the world.
"Although this person is a disciple of the Taoist Tianzong, he has been staying in the Qin Kingdom for the past seven or eight years. He was first a palace protector and then a protector of the country. He has repeatedly performed meritorious services and was awarded the title of Lord Wu Zhenjun."
"And most of his achievements were in suppressing and killing the enemies of Qin. Over the past few years, thousands of people from hundreds of families have fallen at his hands. Thanks to his cultivation, he has broken through the profound entrance. Last year, Nangong was almost suppressed by him.
kill."
"Even so, my cultivation has been knocked down from the entrance. I want to return to the realm of heaven. I don't know how long it will take. Even if the high priest can talk to him and postpone the disaster, Shushan will eventually have to pay the price."
Telling the story of Qin Tingwu Zhenjun, since he was knocked down by Xuan Qingzi last year and had his cultivation level sealed, Chu Nan Gong has been staying in the Chu land, trying his best to restore his cultivation level.
Donghuang Taiyi had also seen that it was impossible to break the seal without injury for the time being. Unless he went further, Chu Nanggong had no choice but to wait for the opportunity.
