Hearing that the Protector of Chishui had actually been killed in battle, the atmosphere that had been slightly relaxed suddenly became tense again.
Xiao Man couldn't help but sigh: "A few days ago, Brother Chishui said he wanted to teach me how to use the crescent shovel... but he didn't want to go to Chang'an, so he was separated from him."
Yang Zhaoxi lay on the embroidered couch and closed his eyes as he said: "On the way from Xianglu Village, I met Protector Chishui. I was fighting alongside him on the deck just now, but unexpectedly I came up to fight a tiger monster.
, he died in the hands of the heroes."
Liu Xiaomu adjusted his breath again, and then said slowly: "In any major event, death and injury are inevitable. Chishui martyred himself today, and should be an example for thousands of believers. In order to let all believers know: to eliminate evil and spread good, there are dangers.
If you are not afraid of death, why should you be afraid of anything else?"
Xiaoman quickly clasped his hands to make flames and said, "Remember the Holy Aunt's teachings!"
Liu Xiaomu suddenly raised his right arm, made a mudra, and returned the Yin Yuan Qi to the three dantians. He opened his eyes and said softly: "Auntie has stabilized the injury. Xiaoman, go and summon the protectors. Although today's matter has come to an end.
, how do you know there won’t be any troubles in the middle of the journey? It’s better to be prepared than to be caught off guard.”
Xiaoman agreed, covered himself with a scarf, and hurried out to summon the protectors on the boat.
Liu Xiaomu then spoke again: "Little Taoist priest, the one who helped you subdue the tiger demon was the mysterious senior you mentioned last time, right? With your ability, you should not be able to control such a character. It must be that he has some chance with you.
, and then came to help. Now that the tiger demon has been killed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him again in the future."
Hearing this, Yang Chaoxi reached out and groped around in his arms for a while, only to realize that the Kui Talisman had disappeared. He could only say angrily: "Auntie expected it to be true. The messenger token given by the senior has been taken away by him. Even if he wanted to
I thanked him face to face, but I didn’t know how to find him.”
Liu Xiaomu nodded and said, "Fortunately, he took action. Otherwise, with my aunt and brother's skills, it would have taken some time to drive away the tiger demon. It would have been impossible to kill him."
"But why is Aunt Xiaomu a Zoroastrian saint? In addition, I have never mentioned my entry into Zoroastrianism. How did my aunt know about it?" Since Liu Xiaomu showed up again, many questions have been kept in his heart, which made Yang
I was confused day and night. Now I finally found an opportunity and asked.
"Since I am a holy aunt, it is easy for me to know the things in the Zoroastrian Temple. In addition, my aunt also knows that you and the monk Bu Jing are both aides to the Cui Mansion and were ordered to join our Zoroastrianism as a 'secret son'. However, my aunt
I made an explanation in advance, so Kang Saiyin left you alone, but kicked out the monk Bu Jing. As for the relationship between my aunt and Zoroastrianism, it is "a child without a mother, it is a long story". If you have free time in the future,
Let me tell you slowly."
Although Liu Xiaomu's voice was hollow, he couldn't hide the hint of cunning.
"If so, after we parted ways in Shendu Garden, several things that happened one after another were deliberately arranged by my aunt?" Yang Chaoxi suddenly felt that his mood was complicated. He originally thought that Liu Xiaomu was just an ordinary demon cultivator, but he didn't expect her deep thoughts.
The planning is far beyond one's imagination.
"In order to compete with Taiweigong, my aunt naturally made a lot of arrangements, but I never expected that you would be involved. Perhaps, it was inevitable from the time you secretly investigated Na Luo Rou's case.
In this overt and covert fight between Zoroastrianism and Taiwei Palace. So, the little Taoist priest regrets it?"
Liu Xiaomu let out a long sigh, but it was a little more playful.
"I...I came here today. Although I overestimated my ability and wanted to make the Zoroastrian and the heroes kill less, I have nothing to regret. I only blame myself for my lack of skills and being indifferent, but there are still so many people who lost their lives in vain.
"
Yang Zhaoxi seemed to be a little angry. In her heart, she couldn't quite understand what the Zoroastrian religion and the heroes had done, but she also didn't take it seriously.
Liu Xiaomu smiled and said: "Little Taoist, although what you think and do is in line with chivalry, it is too naive. If the world and people's hearts were as simple as you think, how could there be so many temples, rivers and lakes?
disputes?"
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded from outside the cabin.
Liu Xiaomu coughed slightly and signaled Yang Chaoxi to continue to calm down and relax, and then said in a deep voice: "Come in, everyone!"
All the protectors came in one after another and stood quietly on both sides. The holy girl Xiaomancai raised her hands to make a flame and reported back: "Holy aunt, except for the protector Chishui who died in battle and the protector Xuantu who is missing, the sky, the earth, the sun, the frost moon, and the divine fire
, the six guardians of Jianmu are here, please give me your instructions!"
Liu Xiaomu glanced at the six guardians, and suddenly there was a cold look in his eyes: "Yaori! Do you know your guilt?"
After hearing this, Zhang Songyue, the Dharma Protector of the Sun, quickly knelt down on one knee, raised his hands to make flames and said, "I am guilty of this! I am so smart that I lured and killed the Paomaling ambush troops without authorization. As a result, people from all walks of life came to surround me and kill them. Now all the brothers in the sect have suffered heavy casualties."
, I cannot absolve myself of the blame for being so humble, please forgive me, Holy Aunt!"
Liu Xiaomu glanced at her phoenix eyes and said coldly: "Write down this crime and kneel aside. Diwei, you recklessly used the 'Small Smoke in the Sky' to recruit other protectors and missionaries to come to your aid. The backbone of our Zoroastrian religion was in danger of being killed."
Catch them all in one swoop, how can you tell whether they are guilty or not?"
Di Baofa was dripping with cold sweat, and he knelt down on one knee, clasping his hands to make a flame: "I'm humble, I'm humble when I see that I'm trapped in a tight siege with many brothers in the religion, and I'm eager to save people... I'm humble and I can't redeem myself even if I die!"
Liu Xiaomu didn't even look at him: "Kneel down and go aside. You two have left your post without permission. Do you still want me to invite you one by one?"
When the two protectors Shenhuo and Jianmu heard this, they both knelt down with a "pop" and said in unison: "I'm so humble and ignorant, please punish the holy aunt!"
Protector Tianji's internal organs were injured and his face was pale. Seeing that several brothers had knelt down, he looked at Xiaoman and knelt down decisively.
Liu Xiaomu stared coldly at the six guardians who were kneeling in a row, and a few words popped out between his teeth: "You are united in confessing your sins and submitting to mediocrity! Why do you have to take matters into your own hands and violate what I have told you? Don't you think,
Auntie, I am a demon cultivator and I am not worthy of dictating in the teaching!"
"I don't dare!" The six people were so frightened that they all bowed down.
Liu Xiaomu was still angry and looked at the six people coldly and said nothing for a long time. The six people just prostrated themselves and did not dare to make a sound.
Finally, Liu Xiaomu seemed to have suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "Forget it! If it weren't for the "Smoke in the Sky" released by the Earth Protection Law, my aunt would not have known that the situation had changed. Although you have acted wrongly, you are still loyal and brave to Zoroastrianism.
.However, Yuan Zai, who is in Chang'an, and Wang Jin, who is in Luoyang, will definitely not give up on what happened today, so there are probably still variables in the rest of the journey."
At this point, the six guardians knew that the holy aunt had spared them for the time being, so they hurriedly straightened up, put their hands together to make a flame, and performed the holy fire ceremony: "Please make a decision, holy aunt! I will go through fire and water, and never dare to resign!"
Liu Xiaomu nodded slightly: "Is the ambush I ordered you to set up near Lingshan Col still there?"
The three guardians, Diwei, Shenhuo, and Jianmu, said in unison: "I'm still here! I'm just waiting for the Holy Aunt's order."
Liu Xiaomu continued to ask: "How many miles of water distance are we from Lingshan Col now? Where are the heroes who returned to Luoyang now?"
The Earth Protector made a flame with his hands and said: "According to the signs made by the humble and others, our boat is only six miles away from the Lingshan Pass. Those Luoyang heroes also have many wounded people, and the distance is not fast. Now they are already gone."
It's in sight, less than two miles away from our boat."
Liu Xiaomu nodded: "Okay! You take the rest of the exploration horses and continue to inquire about the news in the second half of the journey. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately!"
"Magu!" the ground protector replied, immediately got up and ran out of the cabin.
Liu Xiaomu said again: "Sunday! The men and horses led by Chishui are crouching in the water and grass in front. You take the crescent shovel of Chishui's protector and pass my order to temporarily lead his men and horses, but there is no need to act rashly. If everything goes smoothly, there is no need.
Have a lot of grudges with the heroes of Luoyang; if they dare to go back and take action, they will kill them with all their strength to ensure that the boat can sail unimpeded. This is your last chance to make up for your mistakes. If you don't do well, you don't have to come back. Continue to do your job.
Zhang Wuhou'!"
"Magu!" Zhang Songyue saluted and hurriedly left the cabin.
Liu Xiaomu continued: "Shenhuo, Jianmu! You two return to the original place and tell the good brothers that you don't have to act rashly. If the boat is attacked, throw down the kerosene rockets, huge rocks and rolling wood to intercept the intruders."
If the boat sails out of the Lingshan Pass safely, you will bring your people and follow the boat. Further east is a flat river. Even if someone wants to ambush, the time and place will be out of the question."
"Magu!" The two of them agreed without hesitation, turned around and left.
At this time, Liu Xiaomu's inner breath seemed to be unsustainable, and waves of dizziness came over her head, like a tidal wave. She supported her body, showed the last bit of dignity and said: "Tianji! Go and urge the boatmen, raise the sails and shake the oars.
, Speed up the boat and leave the heroes on the shore behind at Lingshan Col."
"Magu." Tianji Protector Tan Xiangchu responded, then dragged his injured body out of the cabin slowly.
At this time, Liu Xiaomu could no longer hold on, and before Xiaoman could react, he fell down on the wooden floor.
"Magu!" Zhang Songyue saluted and hurriedly left the cabin.
Liu Xiaomu continued: "Shenhuo, Jianmu! You two return to the original place and tell the good brothers that you don't have to act rashly. If the boat is attacked, throw down the kerosene rockets, huge rocks and rolling wood to intercept the intruders."
