Chapter eight hundred and ninety second infatuation
The drum beat one after another, getting louder and louder, as if it was beating on people's hearts. Everyone felt that the entire Yuji Palace seemed to be shaking slightly with the drum beat.
The figures finally appeared at the gate of the palace again, but they were eight giant men wearing fine iron masks and black cloaks. They were the eight people who pulled the chariot earlier. These eight people walked side by side, with their footsteps and drum beats. The voices were in unison, and every step he took was extremely heavy, as if eight giant elephants stepping on the stone slabs walked into the hall.
It turned out that the vibration that everyone felt earlier was not caused by the sound of the drums, but by the footsteps of these eight giant men. What everyone could see was that their footsteps stepped on the white stone ground, leaving footprints half an inch deep. .
A tall man with strong muscles is nothing in the eyes of martial arts masters, because hundreds of kilograms of brute force are completely vulnerable to the power of superior martial arts. However, like this on a stone slab Leaving footprints on the road cannot be done with brute force alone. It requires extremely strong inner strength. Even the top masters of the "Seven Martial Arts" may not be able to do it.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall was filled with fear, which also made Hua Bushi once again think of the terrifying iron-faced giant Xiri Ahong whom he had seen in Henan back then.
Eight people walked three feet into the palace gate side by side, then stopped and stood separately on both sides. A man with a golden crown and brocade robe walked in, it was the old demon Wusheng.
Previously, when I looked out of the second-floor window, I could only see a general appearance. Now I was even closer, but I saw that the old demon had a jade-like face, a straight nose, a square mouth, and no wrinkles on his face. He was an old man, suddenly a handsome middle-aged Taoist priest. He glanced coldly at the people in the hall, but with an arrogant and contemptuous attitude, just like a superior immortal Buddha facing a group of mortal ants. generally.
Unlike those eight giant men, when he stepped into the door, he was extremely light and agile, as if gliding on the ice. This was a sign that his lightness kung fu had reached its peak.
Hua Bushi's eyes were fixed on the face of the old demon Wusheng, and his hands in the sleeves of his robe were clenched into fists.
This is the person who killed his father Hua Tianxiong and killed Brother Ma Wu. The sworn hatred made the young master feel infinite anger in his chest, his body trembled slightly, and he just wanted to cut this man into pieces immediately. Thousands of paragraphs.
However, the anger was suppressed in just a moment. Although Hua Bushi saw the old demon Wusheng for the first time today, he knew how powerful he was. This battle was not only a battle of revenge, but also related to many things. People's life and death, the fate of all the Bai Dao sects in the Ming Dynasty, as the person in charge, he must be calm and must not make mistakes because of impulse.
An instant later, there was no anger in Hua Bushi's eyes, only strength and sharpness.
He took a deep breath and said: "This person is so pretentious and just bluffing. We don't need to pay attention to it. Please go down to the main hall and preside over our sect's formation. The victory or defeat of today's battle will depend on this one move. "

Dusk has passed, the sky is dark, and the cold wind is carrying snow flakes dancing in the air.
On the roof of Yuji Palace, in the stone room of Qianji Pavilion on the fifth floor of the Treasure Building, candles were burning on the walls. Xiong Tiannan stood by the window, one foot on the window sill, his fat face with a frown. group.
Xiong Bailing stood beside his son, with a very calm expression on his face. Around them, there were several swordsmen in green shirts with long swords on their backs. They were Qingyun Guards.
This place is condescending and has a wide field of vision. The previous battle between the six sects and the devil in the open space outside the palace was clearly visible to the Xiong family and his son. But then the disciples of the six sects retreated into the palace gate, but they could no longer look at it. Gone.
Xiong Tiannan had a look of anxiety on his face and said: "There are so many people in the Demonic Path. It seems hard to say whether we can win this battle."
Xiong Bailing said: "The disciples of the six sects retreated into the palace in an orderly manner. They did not show signs of failure and were obviously withdrawing intentionally. Master Hua is resourceful and strategizing. We just have to follow orders."
However, Xiong Tiannan disagreed and said with a big mouth: "You all say how brilliant Hua Bushi's intelligence is, but I think he is just average. The war below is short of manpower, but he sent us to guard this treasure house, and why? They said we should be on guard against secret attacks. After guarding for a long time, there was no enemy, not even a ghost. Alas, I don’t know how sister Laner is doing, but nothing has happened to her."
Xiong Bailing's eyes widened and he scolded: "Shut up, Master Hua ordered us to guard here just as a precaution. It would be better if no enemy attacks. Why do you need to talk such nonsense?"
Seeing that his father was angry, Xiong Tiannan didn't dare to protest. He lowered his head and said, "Don't blame me, dad. It's okay if the child doesn't tell me. In fact, I'm just a little worried about sister Lan Xin's safety."
Xiong Bailing sighed and said: "You are my son. How can dad not know what you are thinking? Master Hua's intelligence and ability are ten times better than yours and mine. His character and life experience are also good. If he were not terminally ill, She is a good match for Lan'er's niece. Alas, it's a pity that God is ruthless. After this battle, please comfort Lan'er and treat her sincerely. After all, you are childhood sweethearts. Chance,"
At first, Xiong Tiannan wanted to marry Sima Rulan, but he was only a little bit close to achieving his wish. Later, after experiencing what happened at Swallowing Whale Island, he gave up the idea. However, his infatuation for Lan'er's sister has never been over. Change.
The eldest son of the Xiong family was also a frequent visitor to restaurants and brothels. He was quite famous as a romantic young man in Okura City. However, since the "RT-Mart" incident, he has never been to such a place again, and in these years Many matchmakers came to Xiong's house to propose marriage, but Xiong Tiannan refused them all.
Since coming to the Middle-earth Continent, Xiong Tiannan, apart from following and protecting Sima Rulan every day, the only thing he does is practice martial arts, and the purpose of his martial arts training is actually to better protect sister Lan'er.
After five years, Mr. Xiong, who is known as "both civil and military", although he still has no literary talent, his martial arts has made great progress. The family's "Shocking Bear Palm" has become seven or eighty percent popular, and is comparable to Xiong Bailing in his heyday. Compared to that, it just lacks a little more skill.
As a father, Xiong Bailing saw all this in his eyes. He knew that his son could not forget his love for Sima Rulan, and he felt helpless. If Hua Bushi and Sima Rulan got married, this matter would naturally not be mentioned again. However, the changes that happened now have made things take a turn for the better.
Hua Bushi only has a few dozen days left to live, and Lan'er's niece is only twenty-four years old. The sadness will eventually pass, whether it is for Sima Rulan, "Wanjintang" and Okura City. Looking for a good son-in-law is the right thing to do.
There is no father in this world who doesn't want his son to be happy. If something good happens between Xiong Tiannan and Lan'er's niece, this is of course what Xiong Bailing wants to see the most.
Xiong Tiannan sighed softly and said: "Sister Lan'er only has Hua Bushi in her heart. She will never like children in this life. I have known this for a long time. The opportunity that dad said is definitely not available. I only hope that Master Hua will Now that she is gone, she can live a happier life, and the child will be content,"
Xiong Bailing glared again and scolded: "What's the point of being satisfied? Nan'er, you are not young anymore. A man should have some ambition. If you want others to live happily, but you just do nothing, how can you get what you want?" I hope Brother Sima has been kind to our Xiong family, and Master Hua has also saved your life. We just risk our lives to repay you. But Nan'er, you have to fight for your own happiness. As long as you are honest, there is nothing to fear. Yes, if niece Lan'er really doesn't like you at all, you should just give up and you don't have to live such a useless life."
Xiong Bailing had actually wanted to say this to his son for a long time.
Xiong Bailing only has an only son, and has been very arrogant since he was a child. Because of this, although Xiong Tiannan was born with a strong body, he has always been as timid as a mouse and lacked courage in dealing with others. Over the years, Xiong Tiannan's martial arts have improved a lot, and his courage has also become stronger. But In terms of emotions, he is still sloppy and has no decision-making.
Xiong Tiannan's face turned red after hearing his father's words, but he was speechless for a moment.
At this time, a Qingyun guard rushed in from outside the stone gate and said: "Mr. Xiong, we found an enemy on the top of the mountain."
Both father and son of the Xiong family were shocked. Xiong Bailing asked: "How many people are there?"
The Qingyun guard said: "Fifty or sixty people, probably from the top of the cliff on the secret path, have come this way."
Xiong Bailing said: "You're good to go. Let's go out to meet the enemy. Nan'er, set off the fireworks signal."
Sending the Xiong family father and son and Qingyun Guards to guard the rear was indeed a back-up left by Hua Bushi just in case.
Yuji Palace is built in the natural stone peak on the top of Shenxian Cliff. On the surface, only the main entrance can be entered and exited. However, in the Mituo Valley in Henan Province, the demons had already dug out a runner steel cable to pull an iron cage from the belly of the mountain. There is a mechanism that goes straight up to the top of Yuyang Peak. It is not surprising that there is a similar mechanism and secret passage on the top of this fairy cliff.
If this is the case, the old demon Wusheng may send a group of people to sneak in through the secret passage, attack from behind, and form a two-sided attack with the demons attacking at the front door.
The stone peak where Yuji Palace is located is not small, and it is impossible to find the exit of the secret passage for a while, so Hua Bushi made this arrangement, because this is just a guess, and it is impossible to be sure whether people from the devil will come to attack, but If it really comes, the defensive responsibility will be very heavy. If any of the six sects takes the responsibility, the young master will not be at ease. Only Qingyun Wei and the Xiong family are the most trustworthy of his own people.
When making this arrangement, Hua Bushi solemnly confessed that once the enemy was discovered, he would immediately set off fireworks signals. He also wanted to prepare in advance and send people to support.
