The general, who had put away his usual boxing stance, stood with his hands behind his back, ignoring the real Hongxiao who was sitting on the big clock. He just remained silent for a moment and then walked back to the queue of military attachés.
Throughout the square, countless courtiers looked at the Master Hongxiao who had come uninvited to deliver the bell at the current court meeting. Most of the courtiers' thoughts were racing at this moment. Regarding the arrival of this Master Hongxiao, they just thought about what happened.
Unexpected, but indeed reasonable.
His Majesty the Emperor uprooted the Xia family, and the crime did not give Monk Fang Wai any face. It is said that many Monk Fang Wai died in the Xia family's private residence that night.
It was a kind of provocation from the monks. Now that the monks from outside the country have come to the capital of the gods, the so-called gift of a bell actually means returning the gift.
He also wanted to let the Liang Dynasty understand a truth. It does not mean that they can ignore the will of the outside world because they have a seemingly great emperor.
As for this Master Hongxiao, he is actually very famous. He was born in the Taoist lineage of Changsheng Dao, and he had already entered the realm of Wangyou in the early years. No one knows what his current realm is, but based on his identity as the master of Ziye Cave,
, he has been respected by the monks since he walked in the world. Now that he has come in person, he probably won't just deliver the bell.
Just as the colorful clouds behind him slowly dispersed, several figures slowly appeared in the sky, including men, women, old and young, five in total.
From left to right, the person standing on the far left is a middle-aged Taoist nun with an ordinary face. She is wearing a large gray Taoist robe on her body that cannot be said to be graceful. She is holding a whisk in her hand with an indifferent expression.
Next to the Taoist nun, there is a young sword cultivator, with a slender figure and handsome appearance. His eyes are full of sword intent. The flying sword he is stepping on has a bright sword body, and the word "长明" is engraved on the end of the sword body.
Obviously, this is also a famous sword from Jianqi Mountain. A well-informed person immediately recognized this person's identity. This person's name is Lu Chu. He is the most outstanding swordsman in Ziyun Cave of this generation, and he was once
He was considered to be the leader among the young disciples of Ziyundong's generation. Ziyundong also sent someone to participate in the Wanliu Society at the time, but this person was in retreat at the time, so he did not come with his master.
Now that he has broken through the barrier and his level has greatly increased, he is afraid that his ranking on the so-called Hidden Dragon List will rise even higher.
Speaking of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, even if Chen Chao defeated the genius He Yi on the Hidden Dragon Ranking in the palace before, and later defeated Song Changxi's thunder method by the lake, he is fully qualified to set foot on the so-called Hidden Dragon Ranking, but I don't know
Why, even if the list was changed later, he never left his name on the Qianlong list.
Beside Lu Chu, there was another young woman wearing a bright red robe. The woman's appearance was beautiful, and she had a sense of being otherworldly. If it were seen by ordinary people, I am afraid that the woman today would be...
She was called a fairy, but in fact, the woman did have the title of Red Fairy in the outside world of cultivation. In the eyes of the monks outside, this red fairy was the same as Jiang Shuchan, the old enemy of the Chen Dynasty. However, this red fairy was also called a fairy.
The realm of the fairy is much higher than that of Fairy Jiang.
It's just that this Red Fairy is not a disciple of Ziyundong. Now that they are here together, it shows in disguise that this provocation by the monks outside is not limited to Ziyundong's family.
Next to the Red Fairy was a middle-aged monk with a restrained aura. The man looked ordinary, but he exuded an extremely dangerous aura. For a moment, no one in the room recognized him.
As for the middle-aged monk, there is an old man with a face full of wrinkles. In a pair of cloudy eyes, there are endless births and deaths of stars. It seems that the old man who has lived for countless years looks at the ground and only thinks that this imperial city is owned by all.
People are like bones.
There is no doubt that this old monk is the most powerful and terrifying existence among these people.
Master Hongxiao's eyes moved away from the figure of the general, and then fell on the guardian envoy. The master of Ziyun Cave smiled and said: "The general has guarded the northern border for many years and devoted his whole life to the human race. Now,
It would be great if the fallen leaves return to their roots, but Pindao is very worried about whether the new general can take on the important task of the northern border."
His words were said indifferently, but in fact they were very provocative. Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, there were constant curses at his feet. Although the military attachés in Daliang were not as good as the monk Wangyou in front of him, they were also extremely angry at this moment and criticized one after another.
Master Hongxiao, how to choose a general and who to take over are all matters of the Liang Dynasty. When will you monks get involved?
"No, the northern defense line is the barrier for the entire human race. As human beings, we naturally have to ensure whether the new general has this ability."
Master Hongxiao did not speak, but the middle-aged Taoist nun spoke. She looked at the ministers in the square and spoke indifferently, her voice cold.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the courtiers in the square became ugly, and the military attachés' faces turned red. They wanted to refute this, but during these ordinary times, they only knew how to work hard and practice. How could they have a clever mouth?
I can't say anything.
As for the civil servants, there were also many civil servants with ugly faces, but they never spoke.
Just a moment later, Tai Shiling walked out of the queue of civil servants, looked up at the middle-aged Taoist nun and retorted: "What a joke, since the northern defense line is the barrier for the entire human race, why didn't you see the monks from outside? Could it be that?
Resisting the demon clan is just a matter of my Daliang Dynasty? Even if that is the case, then whoever I appoint as this general in our Daliang Dynasty has anything to do with you?!"
Tai Shi Ling was just an ordinary scholar. He had never practiced cultivation and was even thinner. He would not even dare to kill a chicken on weekdays, but now he was standing in front of this middle-aged Taoist nun with a high level of cultivation. He showed no fear at all.
After the middle-aged Taoist nun spoke, she never thought that anyone would dare to confront her. Now when she saw Tai Shiling speaking, her face was gloomy and she asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to die?"
Facing this naked threat, Taishi Ling raised his head without any fear, "Bamboo can be burned but its joints cannot be destroyed, jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed, so what if you die, why should you be afraid of being killed?"
As a Taishi Ling, the pen in his hand is as good as a sword. All he has to do in his life is to live up to the annals of history. If he has no backbone, he will not be able to become a Taishi Ling.
The middle-aged Taoist nun's face was gloomy. Just as she was about to speak, a lazy voice suddenly sounded, "Ding Yinjun, if you want to avenge your junior sister, come to me. I'm here to bully a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken.
What's the meaning?"
The middle-aged Taoist nun followed the voice and saw only the head of the main hall in front of her. I don't know when a sword cultivator in green clothes appeared. He was sitting on the roof at the moment, holding a wine gourd in his hand and taking a big sip.
Drinking wine, he smacked his lips and said with a smile: "Your junior sister died under my sword. If you want revenge, come to me. Just ask, and I will fight you right away and send you to see your unlucky junior sister."
The middle-aged Taoist nun looked gloomy, gritted her teeth and asked, "Who are you?"
The swordsman in green shirt was startled, and then said: "You don't care who I am, just tell me if you dare to fight me?"
The middle-aged Taoist nun was silent. She looked at the sword hanging on the side of the sword-slim figure in the green shirt, and did not rush to speak. The person in front of her was a real swordsman.
Master Hongxiao said calmly: "Liu Jianxian is not an official of Daliang, why do you have to go through this muddy water?"
Liu Banbi took out his ears and said with a careless smile: "Although I am not an official in Daliang, I am from Liang. I remember who my parents are."
His words indirectly scolded most of the monks outside the country.
As we all know, when monks go up the mountain to practice, they want to forget about the world. Many people's parents no longer regard them as parents, and naturally they do not recognize themselves as Liang people.
"Ding Yinjun, I told you anyway, I killed your junior sister. If you really want to cause trouble, I will accompany you at any time. As for whether you are shameless, you have to find three or five Wangyou monks to surround you.
Even if you kill me, I don’t care.”
Liu Banbi glanced at the middle-aged Taoist nun, and then shook his head with great disdain.
The middle-aged Taoist nun was so angry that she sneered, "Then I'm here to ask Liu Jianxian for advice. Let's see what the rebellious disciple of the academy who doesn't even look down on the dean will be like after practicing sword practice, and whether he is invincible in the world.
Got it!"
The middle-aged Taoist nun is also a highly respected figure outside the country. How could she have ever been so despised? What’s more, she and her junior sister were brothers and sisters. Otherwise, she would not have rushed to God after learning that her junior sister was dead.
All seek revenge.
Liu Banbi didn't care, he just smiled and said: "Let's talk about it first. Fighting with me is not the kind in bed. I really know how to kill people."
Liu Banbi smiled casually, he had learned a lot of nasty words after serving in the Northern Army for many years.
It's just that many of the courtiers from the academy in the square looked a little unhappy at the moment. They always had complicated emotions towards Liu Banbi. This person came from the dean of the academy, but he stopped studying and chose to practice swordsmanship.
As far as practicing swordsmanship is concerned, most people would think that this so-called academy rebel would be in trouble in the art of swordsmanship, but who would have thought that this man in front of him would really become a swordsman.
The middle-aged Taoist nun sneered and turned into a rainbow light and left the imperial city. Liu Banbi looked at the Taoist nun's back and said with emotion: "You are so smart, you also know how to find a place where no one is around."
After he laughed, the flying sword holding the cicada on his waist suddenly unsheathed, with the sound of a cicada chirping.
The flying sword hovered in mid-air, and then Liu Banbi jumped up, stepped on the flying sword, and turned into a sword light and flew away, showing the full style of a swordsman.
Seeing both of them leaving the imperial city, Master Hongxiao looked at the guardian envoy and asked, "I also want to ask for advice and see if the guardian envoy is qualified to be this general."
Before he finished speaking, Master Hongxiao jumped up and kicked the big clock under his feet!
The big clock came towards the square again.
The guard had no expression on his face and did not respond. Even the big bell just turned to look at the general and said with a smile: "General Zhuyu is in front of me. I have shown my shame."
The general smiled and said nothing, but stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Only then did the guardian look at the menacing big bell. With his toes on the ground, he jumped up and faced the big bell. Master Hongxiao made seals with both hands, then controlled the big bell with his mind and crashed into the guardian.
.
The guardian's uniforms were flying, but his expression remained unchanged. Just when the big bell came to him, he slapped it with a heavy palm, and the sky suddenly exploded here. The guardian who had been practicing hard for countless years now put his realm into the sky.
It was completely reflected in front of everyone.
Naturally, a kind of civil servant would not be able to see the secret behind it, but at this moment, when the military officers saw this scene, their hearts were swaying and they were extremely impressed.
The bell was struck by the guard, and another violent sound was heard throughout the imperial city. The courtiers who had suffered it before were well prepared and blocked their ears, but they still felt dizzy and swaying.
.
However, now Master Hongxiao is not just testing, but actually taking action. Therefore, the big bell did not fly backwards, but after shaking slightly, it has full stamina and presses towards the guardian envoy again.
The guard's expression remained unchanged, but several thunders suddenly sounded behind him, which seemed extremely unexpected at this moment.
Everyone looked up and saw a sea of clouds billowing in the sky above the guard's head, as if a real dragon was tumbling and swimming in the sea of clouds, disturbing the clouds in the sky.
The next moment, the guard jumped up, came to the big bell, and then stepped out with a heavy foot.
Following the kick of the guardian, the majestic energy rushed towards the big bell. It can be said that the guardian did not hold back at all. After a moment of hard resistance, the big bell became
It swayed a little, and then it seemed like it was drunk, and it staggered and fell, and finally landed heavily on the square!
Where the big bell fell, countless cracks instantly appeared on the ground around it, splitting in all directions.
There are also cracks appearing on the big clock at this moment.
The guardian stood on the big clock and glanced at the real Hongxiao in mid-air. Everyone thought that the guardian was going to say something, but he remained silent. The next moment he exerted force, the big bell under his feet shattered and turned into pieces.
It made countless fragments, and then the guard raised his hand, and countless fragments suddenly rose up, flying into the sky like thousands of flying swords!
Master Hongxiao looked at the fragments of the big bell that flew back, and his expression changed slightly, but he still waved his hand, and after removing the strength of the guardian, he reassembled it and returned to the appearance of a big bell, but now there are cracks on it.
The spiritual energy has dissipated completely and is no longer usable.
Fortunately, this big bell was not a high-grade magic weapon, so Master Hongxiao didn't care. He just looked at the guardian with a lot of fear in his eyes.
This scene shocked everyone present.
Especially those military attaches.
Master Hongxiao originally thought that in the Liang Dynasty there was only one martial artist, the Emperor of Liang, who could be said to be great, but he did not expect that the power displayed by the two generals, the old and the new, took him by surprise.
The general was okay, he could see a long time ago that he was in his twilight years, his blood had dried up, his whole person was in decline, and his level had dropped sharply, but the guard envoy in front of him was in his prime, and taking action now was really effective.
It's really shocking.
After a while, Master Hongxiao's expression recovered, and he said softly: "It's really not bad."
The guard had no expression on his face and just said: "This has just begun. Are you going to stop, fellow Taoist?"
Facing the guardian envoy's initiative to invite a fight, Master Hongxiao didn't take it seriously, "I'm just trying to see if the guardian envoy can take on this important task for my comrades in the world, so why is there any plan to fight in a life-and-death fight? I think it's because of your majesty's magnanimity.
Won't care."
Emperor Daliang, who had been standing in front of the main hall, still did not speak until now.
From the beginning to now, the Emperor of Liang has not made any remarks.
Master Hongxiao's face did not change, and his eyes signaled that Fairy Hong, who had been silent all this time, came out and said with a smile: "At the beginning of Wanliu Hui, the slave family was in seclusion and could not see the leader's style. I came here specially today. I don't know who he is.
Commander Chen, can you be here?"
As the red fairy spoke, countless eyes instantly fell on Chen Chao, who had not yet returned to the military attaché queue.
Chen Chao was still holding the jade belt with both hands at this moment. After hearing these words, he just glanced at Li Heng.
Li Heng has been working in the palace for so many years and has long been known for being able to observe people's emotions. Seeing this scene, he didn't care about the rules. Instead, he walked down personally, took the jade belt from Chen Chao's hand, and then lowered his voice and said softly
A few sentences.
Chen Chao then stood up and looked at the woman in a bright red robe.
