The man in gold robe carried it with one hand and walked into the courtyard.
When the old concierge saw a guest coming to the door, he hurriedly moved a wooden pier from the side and placed it behind the man in golden robe.
Then he went into the house and brought out a clay pot with a short mouth, and then took out an earthenware bowl and rinsed it with water in the pot.
He was very skilled at what he did. It was no secret that Xunzi lived in Chu. There were many people visiting him. The old concierge received an average of four or five waves of people a day.
Sometimes visitors would be rewarded with money, and the old concierge would be particularly attentive to his service.
He saved all the reward money and planned to keep it for his mute grandson.
I have saved a lot of money in the past two years, so the old concierge likes people to visit and always greets me with a smile.
After pouring the water, he picked up the bowl and handed it to the man in gold robe, serving him very carefully.
The mute grandson also stepped forward, sniffling and stretching his hands forward like holding water.
He couldn't speak, but his meaning was obvious.
The two men cooperated tacitly. Before Xunzi took them in, they had been begging for food on the street. They had practiced this routine thousands of times.
Usually, Zhang Cang and Wu Xi saw how pitiful the two men were, and never stopped them from asking for rewards.
However, this time, Zhang Cang took a step forward, blocked his grandfather and grandson from behind, and looked at the man in gold robe with squinted eyes: "Why did you come to see my master?"
"Kill him." The man in gold robe said.
Zhang Cang's heart sank, but Wu Xi and the others were stunned, almost suspecting that they heard wrongly.
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
"My master Xunzi has not returned to Qin. If you have the ability, you might as well go to Xianyang of Qin to kill him."
Zhang Cang had already guessed the identity of the man in golden robe, so he said this with the intention of provoking the general.
The man in golden robe said calmly: "Xunzi has left Xianyang and is on his way back to Chu. He will be back soon."
Zhang Cang said again: "You are afraid of the King of Qin and do not dare to enter Qin. Therefore, you wait until my master returns to Chu before you dare to come."
The man in golden robe said softly: "In my eyes, King Qin is just a stronger ant. I will get rid of him soon."
"Who are you?!" Wu Xi couldn't help but ask.
"Golden Crow Demon Lord." A mellow voice sounded.
Xunzi, wearing a white robe with his big sleeves fluttering, suddenly appeared in the yard and stood in front of Zhang Cang and others.
"Hurry up and leave." As soon as Xun Zifu settled down, he immediately spoke to his two disciples.
"Master..."
"Don't say anything more. This Jinwu is no match for me as my master, but escaping is not a problem. You hurry up and everything will be fine for me as my master." Xunzi spoke again.
Got it.
Wu Xi and Zhang Cang immediately grabbed the old concierge and the mute grandson, swayed away, and disappeared into the small courtyard.
Xunzi looked at Jinwu: "You want to kill me?"
"There is no point in delaying time in front of me!"
Jinwu took one step forward, with no time barrier at all. He appeared in front of Xunzi at the same time.
What surprised Jinwu was that Xunzi was not slower than him.
The Golden Crow approached, and Xunzi flew back.
The old saint stretched out his hand and said, "The power of heaven and earth bless me."
"Thunder from the Nine Heavens, kill this monster clan!"
Follow your words.
"Crack!"
A bolt of thunder struck down from the sky, like a war spear cast by the power of heaven and earth.
Jinwu stretched out his hand and caught the thunder in his hand, destroying it invisible.
"I step on thunder and lightning and go hundreds of miles away."
In an instant, Xunzi's figure disappeared.
However, he reappeared and did not go hundreds of miles away as he wished. Under the interference of the Golden Crow, his figure only came out of Lanling County and was located in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city.
There are a few dead trees around and a low mountain in the distance.
Because of Xunzi's sudden appearance, several old crows on the dead tree flew away in fright.
Jinwu and Xunzi moved outside the city simultaneously and stood diagonally above Xunzi, looking down.
The surrounding world suddenly changed, and golden flames emerged from all directions, surrounding Xunzi.
The power of heaven and earth controlled by Xunzi through his words and laws was immediately suppressed and cut off by the flames of the Golden Crow.
Suddenly, Xunzi's body gushed out with the light of a saint, and a saint's halo appeared behind him. A thick, ancient voice sounded from the void:
"Unnamed, the beginning of heaven and earth; Named, the mother of all things.
Therefore, always have no desire in order to observe its wonderfulness, and always have desire in order to observe its pleasure.
These two have the same origin but different names. They are both called xuan.
This voice was actually the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu that Xunzi borrowed from Zhao Huaizhong. Xun Zi used the power of a saint to activate it, and what came out was the voice of Lao Tzu himself reciting the Tao Te Ching, as if it spanned time and space.
When I left the Tao Te Ching, I had not yet left this world. I was at the same level as Zhao Huaizhong and was also a saint in the Five Realms.
This force was unleashed, and the golden flames between heaven and earth were instantly suppressed by the power of Laozi's chanting of the Tao Te Ching.
The flame disappeared, and the power of heaven and earth returned to Xunzi.
A door of Taoist power appeared in front of him. Xunzi stepped into it, and his body jumped out of the void and disappeared without a trace.
"The ancient sounds of the sages of the human race."
The golden light in the Golden Crow's eyes burst through the void and looked into the depths of the void.
He immediately found Xunzi's whereabouts.
In the blink of an eye, Xunzi was hundreds of miles away.
The Golden Crow did not chase after him, but stretched out his hands to grab them. Several figures appeared in the void one after another, and they rolled back and were caught in his hands.
It was Xunzi's disciples Zhang Cang, Wu Xi, the old porter, and the mute grandson who escaped first.
Jinwu then looked at Lanling County, not far away, with a population of more than 100,000.
A hundred miles away, Xunzi sighed and stopped.
Not long after, he returned to the place where he fought against Jinwu.
"Let them go, and I will fight you until the death!" Xunzi said solemnly.
Golden Crow's eyes were playful.
At the same time, golden flames suddenly appeared on the bodies of the old concierge and the mute grandson.
In the flames, the old concierge hugged his mute grandson tightly, his face twisted in pain, but he couldn't make a sound, and he was swallowed up by the flames in an instant.
On the other side, Zhang Cang and Wu Xi's eyes were red and red.
Xunzi's body was also trembling, and his beard and hair were spread out: "The sage said, this monster should be killed!"
With his voice, words grew up one by one. Xunzi wrote in the air, forcing the saint's blood from his body with his fingertips to bless the words.
The words were blessed by the blood of the saint, shining with golden light and shooting straight into the sky.
Several handwritings turned into huge mountains and slowly pressed down on the Golden Crow.
Countless textures also appeared in the surrounding void, blocking the Golden Crow's retreat.
"You two leave quickly."
Xunzi raised his hand and held out an ancient scroll, which was Laozi's Tao Te Ching scroll.
The power of the ancient scroll shrouded and protected Zhang Cang and Wu Xi.
Xunzi sent a force into it, prepared to push the Tao Te Ching, and left with two disciples.
However, at this moment, a golden crow's paw print fell from the sky, shattering several handwritings as huge as mountains.
A wave of demonic power spread, sealing off the world and immobilizing Zhang Cang and Wu Xi.
The white robe on Xunzi's body fluttered, combining his own power with the Tao Te Ching, fighting with the Golden Crow for the power of heaven and earth.
The surrounding world is spinning and everything is changing.
The ancient saint's voice sounded like the power of God.
"It's a very good thing!
The way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection."
The ancient music of the sages recited by Xunzi combines the essence of Confucianism and Taoism, and has the same power.
In the air, a majestic breath was generated.
Boom!
The golden electric pillar broke through the void, and the Golden Crow was unable to avoid it, and its entire body exploded in the electric pillar.
"Master, with great power, this monster was chopped to death." Wu Xi was overjoyed.
Xunzi moved very quickly, activated the Tao Te Ching, and pushed Zhang Cang and Wu Xi out.
Driven by Xunzi's power and protected by the Tao Te Ching, the two were hundreds of miles away in an instant.
But he saw flames growing next to Xunzi, and the Golden Crow walked out again without any damage: "You still have some means, don't think I will kill you myself."
He stretched out his hand and flicked it, and a golden black feather flew through the air.
In the distance, Wu Xi, who was running away, was crushed by Wu Yu's power. It was like the mountains were looming over him, and his whole body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
"ah!"
The Confucian energy in Zhang Cang's chest surged, like a moth flying into the fire, ready to come back and fight the Golden Crow.
But Xunzi reached out and slapped him, and a force came out of the Tao Te Ching, and Zhang Cang was included in it.
The next moment, the Tao Te Ching turned into a little golden light and disappeared through the sky.
The last scene Zhang Cang saw was the Golden Crow appearing in front of Xunzi, reaching out to pat his Heavenly Spirit Cap.
Hot tears welled up from his eyes, Zhang Cang clenched his fists and almost fainted.
In a state of confusion, and he didn't know how long it took, Zhang Cang felt his body light up, and someone grabbed him out of the Tao Te Ching.
In front of him was a young man in black robe.
————
A little earlier.
In Xianyang City, Zhao Huaizhong finished reviewing the last memorial in his hand and looked at the sky. It was almost dusk.
When he came out of Xianyang Palace and was about to return to Wuying Palace, he suddenly felt a strong palpitation in his heart.
Following some mysterious and mysterious aura between heaven and earth, Zhao Huaizhong's expression changed in shock.
His figure suddenly disappeared: "The power of heaven and earth is at my disposal, Chu Di."
In the clouds, a flash of lightning flashed, and Zhao Huaizhong stepped on the lightning and walked away. The vast land and thousands of mountains and rivers disappeared in a flash.
After several flashes, Zhao Huaizhong traveled thousands of miles and arrived in Chu land.
At this moment, he saw the Tao Te Ching pushed by Xunzi.
Zhang Cang was released from the scriptures: "Xunzi's disciple."
When Zhao Huaizhong spoke, his speed did not slow down at all.
"King Qin!"
Zhang Cang recognized Shen Rubing in front of him and the young man in black robes was the Lord of Qin, and hope ignited in his eyes.
At this time, Zhao Huaizhong had already arrived at the place where Xunzi and Jinwu were fighting.
The surrounding area is empty.
There were only battle fluctuations left in the void, and there was not a single human figure. The battle was over.
"There are blood stains here, they belong to Master." Zhang Cang pointed to a place where blood was red on the ground.
The blood contains the smell of death.
Xunzi is dead?
Zhao Huaizhong's plug-in blessed his eyes, and all kinds of visions passed before his eyes, as if he had gone back in time and space, and he could see the truth.
In front of him, a vague figure appeared vaguely, staggering through the void and diving into the chaos behind the void.
Another figure followed closely behind.
Obviously, Xunzi used all his strength to break through the void at the last moment and rushed into the chaos behind the void to take refuge.
The one chasing behind is undoubtedly the Golden Crow.
Zhao Huaizhong stretched out his hand, and the void opened. He grabbed Zhang Cang with one hand and chased after him.
Behind the void is boundless chaos.
Zhao Huaizhong followed a gust of energy and rushed after him.
After walking a few dozen feet, I saw another pool of blood floating in the chaos.
Along with the blood stains was half a white sleeve.
Xunzi, who fled into the void, was obviously overtaken by the Golden Crow here.
Ps: Please make reservations and tickets. I had something to do in the morning, so I was delayed a bit~
