The South Gate Tower of Zhennanguan is a tall building with two floors and three eaves.
At this time, on the second floor of the city gate building, three people were sitting together and discussing something. They were Tianxuan Star Lord Liu Jiazi, Tianji Star Lord Wu Daozi, and Tianquan Star Lord Xu Kunsheng.
Wu Daozi said in a deep voice: "Reinforcements are arriving in droves at this moment. Zhennan Pass is already strong with strong troops and horses, which are better than the monsters and barbarians. Although the battles in the past two days have been repeatedly frustrated, the morale is still there. I suggest that we go out of the city tomorrow to fight to the death with the monsters and barbarians."
Liu Jiazi thought for a while and said: "What Brother Wu said is absolutely true. It's just that my injury is not healed. I need to nurse myself back to normal for a few days, so I can't help you two."
Xu Kunsheng waved his hand and said loudly: "Brother Liu can just hold the battle in the city. The two of us will be able to handle the battle tomorrow."
Wu Daozi also nodded and agreed. Liu Jiazi didn't want all the credit to go to Wu and Xu.
But the opportunity to fight is fleeting. If you postpone it for a few days and wait for your injuries to recover before fighting again, the demon barbarians will take the opportunity to send reinforcements, and it is hard to say who will win by then.
He had a smile on his face and showed his willingness to agree.
At this moment, a Taoist boy's crisp voice came from outside the door: "To the Lord Xing, Zuo Sisi, a disciple of Kaiyang Palace, asks for an audience."
"Kaiyang Zuo Sisi? I've never heard of it. Could it be that he is a newly promoted mage?" Liu Jiazi thought for a while, but did not remember who this person was. He changed his posture and asked in a serious tone: "What's the matter with him?
Do you want to see me?"
"Back to Xingjun, Zuo Sisi said that this matter is related to the head of Kaiyang Yuan, so I would like to ask all Xingjun to make a decision." The boy replied respectfully.
"About Mr. Yuan? Yes, Yuan Jinsheng and Jinlin Louchuan never arrived at Zhennanguan Pass. They said they were attacked by demons and barbarians, but with his strength, he is not afraid of mere demons and barbarians. There must be something fishy about this matter."
Thinking of this, Liu Jiazi ordered: "Let him come up."
The Taoist boy said that he was leaving. Not long after, Zuo Sisi's voice sounded outside the door: "Kaiyang disciple Zuo Sisi, please see all the Star Lords."
"Come in." Liu Jiazi replied in a deep voice, but he was still wondering what happened to Yuan Jinsheng.
Gently pushing the door open, Zuo Sisi stepped in and respectfully saluted Liu Jiazi, Wu Daozi and Xu Kunsheng one by one.
The three of them accepted it calmly, and then Liu Jiazi asked: "What is going on? Report it quickly."
Zuo Sisi was shocked after receiving the copper coin flying letter. On the one hand, she couldn't figure out why Yuan Jinsheng went to Xijing, and on the other hand, she was worried about Bai Liming's safety.
Hearing Liu Jiazi's question, he did not dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "The disciples received a flying letter of copper coins from fellow disciple Bai Liming. The golden-scaled ship they were riding in was not attacked by demons and barbarians. That's why they didn't arrive.
Zhennanguan is because the real destination of the building boat is Xijing."
"Xijing!" The three star kings were all shocked when they heard this, and then asked at the same time: "Why is Yuan Jinsheng going to Xijing?"
Zuo Sisi shook his head and said: "Bai Liming doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to make any inferences that will affect Lord Xing's judgment on the matter. In addition, he suggested that the matter should be reported to the Patriarch, and it would be most appropriate for the Patriarch to make a decision."
Regardless of his injury, Liu Jiazi actually stood up and paced back and forth thinking. Wu Daozi and Xu Kunsheng, one of them gently twirling their beards and the other of them shaking their wine glasses, were deep in thought and silent. In fact, the three spirits were communicating in a silent and invisible way.
With.
After a while, Liu Jiazi looked at Zuo Sisi gently: "Your fellow disciple Bailiming suggested it right. This matter is of great importance and we really need to report it to the ancestor."
As he spoke, he took out a bronze mirror and cast a spell to make the bronze mirror hang in the air. He also chanted a mantra, and the bronze mirror glowed slightly, and the surface of the mirror vibrated with ripples like water waves.
Suddenly, the ripples rippled faster and faster, and finally a face with white hair and a childish face appeared on the surface of the bronze mirror.
Seeing this face, Liu Jiazi, Wu Daozi, and Xu Kunsheng came forward to salute, and the old man slowly said: "I wonder what the three Xingjuns have to do with me?"
Liu Jiazi hurriedly asked Zuo Sisi to tell the message conveyed by the copper coin flying letter again. The old man did not show any surprise when he heard this, but nodded thoughtfully and said to himself: "I'm actually going."
After arriving in Xijing, it turned out that the object was hidden here."
Seeing everyone's questioning looks, he gathered his thoughts and then ordered: "Liu Xingjun, get the copper coin flying letter and check the time it was sent."
Liu Jiazi followed his instructions and asked Zuo Sisi for the flying letter. After some investigation, he said: "This copper coin flying letter was sent out at about Mao hour and flew to Zhennanguan at this time."
Hearing this, Zuo Sisi looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "It's strange, the flying letter has already arrived, why did disciple Shen only receive it?"
The Patriarch was not surprised. He explained: "Because of the war, your battle with the monsters and the city defense formation interfered with the positioning of Copper Coin Feixin's soul. For a while, your exact location could not be found, so I could only
Wandering outside the city."
Then he thought for a while and said to himself again: "So Yuan Jinsheng has arrived in Xijing. Without further ado, I have to set off immediately. Alas, my old arms and legs are going to suffer again.
"
The other four people in the field were even more confused. It seemed that the Patriarch had known what Yuan Jinsheng had done for a long time, and was not surprised at all. It seemed that he had been waiting for this moment to come.
The Patriarch glanced at the four people who had doubtful expressions and said: "You just concentrate on preparing for war, I will handle this matter."
As he spoke, the ripples on the bronze mirror swayed, and his figure disappeared. He came and went in a hurry, leaving only the four people at the scene, confused and looking at each other.
…
In the Xingjun Hall of Kaiyang Palace, as the master of this place, Shengyang Xingjun stood respectfully, looking at the person sitting in the main seat with a solemn expression.
The man put away a bronze mirror and murmured: "Oops, I almost missed it. Thanks to Baili Ming, a disciple of Kaiyang. If he can survive this time, I will give him a good reward."
Then, with a little excitement in his voice, he said to the two people in the room: "The direction is known, the time has come, it's time for us to set off."
Lord Shengyang Xingjun and the person standing beside him replied together: "Yes, Patriarch."
The three of them moved to the main hall where the Kaiyang Cauldron was located. The Taoist Patriarch moved his fingers slightly, and a huge bronze cauldron with three legs and two ears, with the four characters "Kaiyang Wuqu" engraved on the body of the cauldron, emerged from the magic circle.
come out.
The Taoist Patriarch looked at Kaiyang Cauldron with a solemn expression and sighed: "It's a pity that I can only take two people to teleport at most. One person is weak and the danger is extremely high. Lord Shengxing and Lord Wangxing, are you ready?"
This Wang Xingjun is the current Xingjun of Yuheng Palace. He has a long face, thin lips, and plain hair with a hanging collar. His name is Wang Lang.
He and Sheng Yang did not hesitate, but replied in unison: "Please rest assured, Patriarch, we are fully prepared, even if we die."
"Okay, the yellow sand will wear golden armor in a hundred battles. If you don't defeat the demons, they will never return." The Taoist Patriarch's eyes were burning and he said loudly:
"This matter depends on the two Star Lords, and we can wait with peace of mind. As soon as the other party activates the Youbi Star Cauldron, we will kill him!"
