The twilight is gathering, and the stars are beginning to rise.
Yang Chaoxi's sword-browed eyebrows were slightly stern, and his eagle eyes were full of anger: "Your religion is doing things, and you abuse the people and hold them hostage. God is angry and people are complaining! If you can do it, why can't you ask?"
"Ha! Young Master Yang has done good deeds today and has a heart of a Bodhisattva." Liu Xiaomu sneered, stared at him and said, "The way of heaven is permanent, and it will not survive for Yao or perish for Jie. If you are just worried about the lives of a few common people,
We, the Zoroastrian Church, looked forward and backward, shrank our hands and feet, and installed more than a thousand followers, and where are the tens of thousands of barbarians?"
"Just because you are fighting with Taiwei Palace, you can do whatever you want and poison the people?! Liu Xiaomu! You are also a Taoist, don't you know that this method not only harms the world, but also easily creates inner demons!"
Yang Chaoxi was filled with indignation, and there was no trace of politeness in his words. He had no idea that this was the first time he and Liu Xiaomu had such an argument since they met.
"It's reasonable, don't speak loudly, why are you shouting?" Liu Xiaomu was startled when he saw that he was really angry, but his tone was a little softer, "Do you know that the battle between Zoroastrianism and Taiweigong is so easy? Which one?
Aren't we going to fight openly and secretly, causing casualties to each other? If we show any weakness at all, Wang Jin will think that he can wipe out all our Zoroastrian followers in one fell swoop. If we try our best to resist at that time, we will need more lives."
After Yang Zhaoxi vented his anger, he saw that the demon cultivator was not very angry. Instead, he looked like a child who had done something wrong. He explained to him aggrievedly, but his heart softened: "Miss Xiaomu, since you are
A holy lady of Zoroastrianism, she is respected and admired by those who follow her religion. She should endure everything if she can. She should not have a tit-for-tat confrontation with Wang Jin. Even if she wanted to fight with Wang Jin, she would not just fight and kill him.
The original plan was just to worship Buddhism and suppress Taoism. Who would have expected that you, Zoroastrianism, would react violently and become his primary target of suppression."
"Forbearance? Forbearance can only push you too far, and you can only take a step back to make things worse." Liu Xiaomu said sternly, "Little Taoist priest, you still have too little experience. You don't know that everyone bullies the weak and fears the strong. The more arrogant and powerful you are, the more others will be afraid of you, and they will try their best to find ways to do it.
Be friendly to you; on the contrary, the more kind and humble you are, the more others will bully you and treat you as a punching bag who can be bullied at will."
After Yang Zhaoxi listened, he recalled some of his experiences from childhood to the present, and found that this statement was very reasonable. But when he thought of those poor people who had no money to buy rice and were suffering from hunger, he couldn't bear it in his heart: "Well, I also want to know
, when will Hu Shang stop the market? Is it possible that Hu Shang will not be willing to resume the market until the city of Luoyang is starved to death, the court imposes punishments, and Wang Jin, Xiao Jing and others are demoted and exiled? "
Only then did Liu Xiaomu show his admiration and said with a smile: "That's not a big deal. When Tianji and the others were making arrangements, they had already written to Chang'an and reported the matter to Lord Zhengzheng. By the time they came to the court to report the matter, the matter had already been resolved.
Heaven listens. It's just that the momentum of this matter has not yet become obvious, and it has not caused the sage Long Yan to be furious. So Hu Shang went on strike, just to let the sage know what Wang Jin and his like did, and give them a good beating, and then it will be fine. Then it will be over.
Justice is in the heart of the people, and Taiwei Palace and Henan Mansion are afraid of being drowned by spitting stars."
When Yang Zhaoxi heard this, he could only sigh: "It is indeed a fight between gods and mortals. How can the common people be blamed? They actually ran into a fight between Taiwei Palace and Zoroastrianism. Now there is no rice to cook, no money to buy cloth, and even food and clothing are a problem.
, who cares whether you are right or wrong?"
Liu Xiaomu stuck out her tongue playfully: "Young Master Yang has a kind heart and is willing to do charity. If you don't see the people starving and suffering from poverty, you can rob the rich and give to the poor, spreading your kindness widely! Which of those powerful families doesn't have hundreds of thousands of stones to store food?"
Yang Zhaoxi was speechless. Thieves are also thieves. If the government hadn't forced the people to rebel in troubled times, who would have dared to open a warehouse in the powerful family to store grain? It should be noted that those staff and guards are not vegetarians. The Shanling Guards of the Shan Cui Family and the Mulan Guards of the Yuan Family,
If any of the Xuanyu Guards tried their best, he would have no choice but to run away.
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked back to the central courtyard. Yang Chaoxi finally had a grudge, so she didn't even say hello and went into the guest room without saying a word.
Liu Xiaomu laughed it off, but changed into a pair of night clothes. His body turned into red light, and he left Nanshi again at night and went straight to Shendu Garden.
It is said that recently, Taiwei Palace's Tiger Guards and Chain Guards have secretly fought several times with Xuanwu Qisu and Baihu Qisu of Wei Bo Town by the Ningbi Pool. Liu Xiaomu would sneak nearby every night to watch the excitement and no longer went into the water to search.
, just wait for someone to fish out the 'ancient monument', and grab it directly. Sometimes when one party is losing, they will quietly help each other, so that the two parties can build up their grudges and attract more Weibo Town Deadpools.
, Anzi, give Wang Jin more trouble.
It's night, the blue clouds are dim and the stars are dim.
In the Shendu Garden, there are one sentry every five steps and one post every ten steps, with lights reflecting each other, and the guards are heavily guarded. From time to time, you can see the guards passing by in formation, holding halberds in their hands and horizontal swords on their waists, looking murderous. However, when they patrolled Ningbi
When they were near the pond, the guards all turned around, as if there was some vicious fish or water monster in the pond.
Liu Xiaomu was familiar with the road, walking freely among the pavilions, pavilions, tall trees and flower beds without leaving a trace, as if he was a wandering spirit. Not long after, he arrived at the Ningbi Pond, where he saw the water in the pond was like ink, swaying in the waves, and there was a strange gurgling sound.
The soft sound on the shore sends chills down your spine. If you look closely, it's the sound of water waves hitting the cracks in the rocks.
She still found a bush and hid in the shadows. Occasionally, she learned a few frog calls to paralyze the nearby guards, which was quite interesting.
Not long after, several black shadows rushed nearby, gestured to each other, and then dispersed. Each of them clasped their flying claws on the shore, dived step by step into the unsearched waters, and continued to grope at the bottom of the pool. The black shadows settled silently,
His movements were skillful, and he was obviously the only remaining tiger guard. Because he often came here, although he was sneaky, he moved smoothly, just like entering his own back garden.
After half a stick of incense, fourteen nimble figures in black clothes and black scarves came flying from the north. Their light skills were quite remarkable. Their hands were equipped with iron claw sheaths, and their nails were shining with green light.
, glowing with a cold light. However, Xuanwu Qisu and Baihu Qisu followed closely behind.
These Weibo town deadlocks rushed to the water's edge and spread out. Each found a hook and lock, and they waved their palms to cut it off. At this moment, two or three black shadows appeared around the rope, but they were ambush.
The armored guard here decisively drew his sword and slashed down at the intruder!
Not far away from Liu Xiaomu's eyes was the pheasant in the White Tiger Qisu.
I saw that he was fighting one against three, but he was not afraid of the formation. He waved his two iron claws in all directions, and his fierceness was more powerful than the sword. Before the blade of the mail guard came, the iron claws had already greeted him, and there was a chaotic sound of "ding, ding, ding, ping, ping, ping".
, then he took down all three horizontal knives.
There are many shadows of trees on the bank of the pond, and sparks are flying in the night, just like the fireworks on the first day of the year, which is actually a bit gorgeous.
Liu Xiaomu watched with great interest, and even took out a handful of preserved fruits from the Qiankun bag. While chewing, he nodded repeatedly, as if he admired the pheasant's performance very much.
Seeing that the two sides were evenly matched, she flashed her figure and moved to the next battle group. Here was a Xuanwu Qisu, fighting with two mail guards. Although the iron claws in his hands were indestructible, they only defended but did not attack. Obviously
Has fallen behind.
Liu Xiaomu frowned slightly, and with a flick of his hand, he saw an invisible force of energy shoot out and hit the horizontal sword of an armored guard. The horizontal sword immediately missed the mark by about a foot and cut into the air with one move.
Xuanwu Qisu was quite smart. He immediately caught the flaw and tore open the sleeve of the mail guard robe with one claw, and made several bloody wounds on his right arm. The mail guard let out a cry of pain and held the horizontal knife.
His hand almost let go, and he quickly handed the knife to his left hand, but it was no longer as flexible as his right hand, and his combat power was greatly reduced.
As a result, the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed in an instant. The two armored guards tried their best, but they could only barely compete with this Xuanwu Qisu.
Liu Xiaomu saw the two sides stalemate, and for a while he couldn't tell the winner. Then his body flashed again... a faint red light, walking back and forth on the shore of Ningbi Pond, specifically watching the battles of more than a dozen formations. But where?
When one side was at a disadvantage, she would come to help. For a moment, swords were blaring and sparks were flying along the Ningbi Pond. Liu Xiaomu was wandering around, enjoying it endlessly.
After a long time, maybe Liu Xiaomu got tired of watching, so he found a big stone by the pool and sat down, chewing the preserved fruit quietly, ignoring the fighting situation between the two parties. Then he heard screams one after another, but it was Xuanwu.
Qisu and White Tiger Qisu, seeing that they had not gained any advantage in today's fight, decisively killed several armored guards blocking the way, and retreated north together.
The armored guards did not pursue them, and hastily collected the corpses of their comrades, and continued to ambush near the hook rope in the dark night. Preparing for Bai Hu Qisu and Xuanwu Qisu, they would first move the tiger away from the mountain, and then return to this place to continue interfering with the Huben Guards' search for the ancient monument.
When Liu Xiaomu saw that the preserved fruit was finished and the show was over, he couldn't help but get up and yawn. He had just found a tall tree and was about to take a nap when his ears suddenly moved and his face darkened: "Li Changyuan, since you have discovered my aunt's whereabouts,
Why bother pretending to be stupid and come over to see me?"
Just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a tall figure and starry eyes appeared from behind a pavilion pillar. It was Li Changyuan, the "White Mountain Man".
I saw him bending slightly, then landed on the tall tree, cupped his hands to Liu Xiaomu and said: "Miss Liu, we meet again. I wonder what you are doing when you come here recently?"
Hearing this, Liu Xiaomu rolled his eyes and found a thick branch to lie down on, before lazily replying: "You know what you're asking! What are you here for? That's what I'm here for. But there's only one ancient stele, a sword."
There is only one handful. If you want it, you must be able to beat me first!"
Li Changyuan touched his nose and said with a slight embarrassment: "It turns out that Miss Liu already knows. It's just that this monument and this sword are really useful for poor people, and the girl's 'double green hairpin sword' is far better than the sword in the monument."
, why do you have to fight with us?"
Liu Xiaomu smiled sweetly: "Of course it's because now the 'Rushui Sword' is so famous and so magical that even my aunt is jealous. However, I don't want to compete with you, but I want to ask Wang Jin's bamboo basket to fetch water."
Only if it's all in vain can I vent the hatred in my heart. Haha!"
Li Changyuan smiled bitterly and said: "The reason why this sword is famous is not due to the girl's song 'Song of the Sword Like Water'. Back then, Taoist Brother Gongsun and I just made up the legend of 'Ji Kang Hidden Sword'. Who knew
This unintentional act of inserting a willow actually made this "Sword Like Water" famous throughout the world.
As for the grievances between your sect and Taiwei Palace, Pindao has also heard a little about it. As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. If Miss Liu is willing to let go of Wang Jin, Changyuan is willing to be the middle man and have a harmonious drink.
, eliminate this dispute. Let the Hu merchants resume the market, and the people will be happy..."
After hearing this, Liu Xiaomu raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of a smile: "I thought you were here to look for a sword, but it turns out that you are here as a lobbyist on someone's behalf!"
