Chapter 198: Becoming Demonic by Offering Loyalty and Becoming a Wedding Dress
In Wuchang City, all the people were shocked!
Everyone could clearly see the black dragon that soared into the sky just now. Outside Wuchang City, the wind was roaring and flying sand and rocks were flying, but there was no sound of wind inside Wuchang City. It was so quiet that it even made people feel a little scared!
The tall black dragon is like a god descending into the world, looking down at the tiny people.
At this moment, the soldiers and civilians in the city felt an indescribable force of pressure. Under this pressure, the soldiers and civilians knelt down one after another and kowtowed to the black dragon.
At the foot of the black dragon is a large pit tens of meters deep. Naturally, what is in the pit is the Kowloon Town Golden Pagoda, which was completely stained by blood.
The black dragon-like black smoke comes out from the body of the Kowloon Town Golden Pagoda.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was sitting naked on the top floor of the Golden Pagoda in Kowloon Town.
Zhang Xianzhong laughed and stood up. He could now clearly feel that scales were growing on his back. They were dragon scales!
At this moment, his entire back was covered with a layer of black scales the size of a copper coin. There were only a dozen golden scales on Chang Xiao's back, which were completely incomparable to the dragon scales on Zhang Xianzhong's back at this moment. These black scales were also opening and closing. Swallowing the energy of the dragon's veins, it continuously flowed into Zhang Xianzhong's body.
Dragon Veins Imbuing the Body is not a Taoist practice, nor is it a Buddhist magical power. In other words, it is not something on the immortal path, but the ultimate in the human path.
Unlike Chang Xiao, who after the Dragon Tiger Pill was completed, the dragon scales absorbed the energy of the dragon veins to help Chang Xiao practice and increase his cultivation level, Chang Xiao was an exception.
Being imbued with dragon veins will not give Zhang Xianzhong the powerful power to sweep through thousands of armies, nor will it make Zhang Xianzhong instantly realize any magical Taoism.
The infusion of dragon energy brought Zhang Xianzhong great luck, an extremely healthy body, and endless energy. This meant that Zhang Xianzhong had reached the pinnacle among mortals at this time, and Zhang Xianzhong was protected by hundreds of dragon veins. Although he was still It's not as good as a real dragon, but it's still quite impressive. These hundreds of dragon veins are also related to the well-being of tens of thousands of people. With the power of faith of tens of thousands of people, even the Golden Core monks can't hurt him with Taoist magic. It can be said that , at this time, Zhang Xianzhong has reached the pinnacle of humanity.
The infusion of dragon energy will not bring Zhang Xianzhong Taoist and supernatural powers, but at the Jiulong Zhentian Pagoda, the Buddha bone relic has completely turned from the crystal clear color to blood red, and then turned into the current incomparable black color.
Zhang Xianzhong opened his mouth and spit out the Buddha's bone relic. The Buddha's bone relic circled in the air several times, then came behind Zhang Xianzhong, absorbed the energy of the dragon's veins from Zhang Xianzhong's dragon scales, and then swallowed it again.
Immediately afterwards, there was a roar from behind Zhang Xianzhong, and several jet black smoke immediately sprang out. The shape of these dark smoke was like Zhang Xianzhong sprouting several arms and legs from behind. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was like a giant with hundreds of hands and feet. Buddha.
Yixi looked on with great joy. Since Zhang Xianzhong has merged with the dragon veins and now cultivated the Buddha's form, it won't take long for him to become a great helper to their tantric lama. If Zhang Xianzhong can really achieve something If he succeeds in his career and becomes the True Dragon Emperor, the time for their tantric lamas to return to the Central Plains and occupy the Central Plains has finally come!
Just when Yi Xi was feeling happy, smoke suddenly came out of Zhang Xianzhong's head, and long horns sprouted out, and four interlaced black teeth came out of Zhang Xianzhong's mouth!
At this time, the dark Buddhist energy behind Zhang Xianzhong began to boil, and it seemed that some kind of change was happening, and Zhang Xianzhong's eyes gradually became clear and turned into pitch black, without the whites of his eyes, they were completely dark.
If you look carefully, you can see that there are specks of star-like things moving in his dark eyes.
The joy on Yi Xi's face disappeared instantly, and his dark face turned pale. Zhang Xianzhong's change at this time was completely beyond his expectation.
In other words, Zhang Xianzhong at this time was not what a Tantric Buddhist should be, but instead became a monster-like existence. Yes, Zhang Xianzhong was possessed by a demon!
At this time, the void above Zhang Xianzhong's head suddenly shook, and then the void was torn open with a click, and a large, dark hole appeared with layers of deathly air.
A huge, dry hand with countless long hairs protruded from the gaping hole. This big hand was white all over, and there was a soul wailing and moaning in every pore on it. Yes, this big hand had something.
Countless souls condensed together, and as soon as they appeared, they brought countless screams, turning the entire Kowloon True Gold Pagoda into a miserable hell world!
The palm of this giant hand was the size of a house, and the nails on the fingers were black and sharp, and they pointed towards Zhang Xianzhong.
For some reason, Zhang Xianzhong felt an indescribable feeling of closeness to this ugly big hand. This feeling was like seeing his long-lost parents. His heart was filled with joy, letting the tip of this big finger touch him.
on the forehead.
Zhang Xianzhong felt a sudden numbness in his head when he was hit by this fingertip, as if countless things were poured into his mind along the fingertip, making his head almost burst.
The big hand tapped Zhang Xianzhong and then slowly retreated into the torn space crack. In the blink of an eye, the crack was completely closed and disappeared into the void.
Yixi's face turned green at this moment. Isn't that big hand formed by the gathering of souls the hand of the emperor of the underworld in the ghost world?
Yixi originally wanted to fill the Jiulong Town Golden Pagoda with flesh and blood souls, and consumed the flesh and blood souls of 80,000 living beings, in order to completely change the effectiveness of the Jiulong Town Gold Pagoda in suppressing the energy veins, and use blood energy to
Pull out the power of suppression and instead extract the energy of dragon veins, and infuse it into Zhang Xianzhong's body, making Zhang Xianzhong qualified to become the next generation's destined emperor.
Yixi fantasized that after Zhang Xianzhong became emperor, the tantric lamas would return to their appearance in the Yuan Dynasty, preaching sutras and chanting Buddhism on the streets, and becoming the supreme ruler of all living beings in China. By that time, Zhang Xianzhong would be a protector of their tantric sect.
Emperor, who knew he would be self-defeating. The protector emperor would be seduced by his blood and fall directly into the devil's path, turning into a demon king. In other words, Zhang Xianzhong had a demon hidden in his heart. After becoming a Buddha, he turned into a demon and even obtained the power of the underworld.
With the favor of the domain emperor, he actually took the initiative to cross the border to teach Zhang Xianzhong magical powers. Yixi knew that there must be countless magical powers hidden in that seemingly simple thing.
Yixi gritted his teeth and turned around to leave. Zhang Xianzhong had become possessed by the devil, and had been personally taught by the Emperor of the Netherworld. He became the direct disciple of the Emperor of the Netherworld. It was impossible for him to become the protector emperor of their Tantra no matter what.
If he, Yi Xi, and others had worked so hard to make a wedding dress for the Demon Sect, and finally supported Zhang Xianzhong, who was filled with the energy of a hundred dragon veins and was most likely to become a true dragon emperor, but the Demon Sect was easily defeated by the Demon Sect.
It was snatched away. All the hard work was in vain!
Now that Zhang Xianzhong has become a demon, he has become a life-and-death enemy with Yixi, a Tantric disciple. Now Zhang Xianzhong is still screaming with his head in his arms because he was forcibly infused with various magical powers by the emperor of the underworld. When he recovers, he will probably be the first to kill him.
Yixi walked very quickly and basically chose to leave after seeing that things were not going well.
But there was a hint of ferocity in Zhang Xianzhong's dark eyes.
As soon as Yixi reached the exit of the pagoda, the countless corpses of men and women lying in the pagoda suddenly moved. Each of these bodies suddenly came to life and rushed towards Yixi.
Yixi was horrified. He quickly shook his body and pushed these men's bodies away. He accelerated his feet and saw that he was still a few steps away from the exit of the Golden Pagoda in Kowloon Town. Suddenly, there was a black hand covered with long hair.
Appearing behind him, he grabbed the collar of Yixi's back, pulled hard, and pulled Yixi back to Zhang Xianzhong like a cloud.
Yixi was shocked when he saw that the hundreds of hands and feet behind Zhang Xianzhong had now disappeared and turned into dozens of long-haired black hands. These long-haired black hands were the ghost hands of the underworld.
The ghost hands of the underworld were specially used by the emperor of the underworld to collect ghosts and monsters from the human world. Each one was equivalent to a real treasure. Yixi did not expect that the emperor of the underworld not only taught the magic skills, but also gave them to Zhang Xianzhong as a gift.
Many ghost hands from the underworld.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's mind was no longer in such severe pain, and he had already understood some things about the magical powers of the Demon Sect. With a finger from the Emperor of the Nether Realm, all the Emperor's understanding of the magical powers was directly driven into Zhang Xianzhong's mind.
, this is equivalent to giving a huge treasure house to Zhang Xianzhong at once. As for how much Zhang Xianzhong can comprehend, it is a matter of Zhang Xianzhong's understanding.
Zhang Xianzhong smiled arrogantly, his voice became hoarse and obscure, and said: "Yixi, I don't know why, but now when I look at your ugly face, I think it's very delicious. I want to bite your skin and your muscles.
I will smash your bones, suck out the marrow inside, and chew them carefully. It seems that this will be of great benefit to my magic power." Zhang Xianzhong said, and dozens of ghost hands from the underworld behind him suddenly moved towards
Yixi caught him.
Yixi's eyes suddenly shrank, and then he was grabbed by dozens of ghost hands from the underworld. Yixi didn't even have time to utter a cry, and was torn to pieces in an instant. Poor Yixi survived death.
, it was finally about to get ahead, but Zhang Xianzhong, who had been supporting him with one hand, suddenly fell into the devil's way, busy and busy, but in the end everything came to nothing! The greatest achievement of someone's life is to work hard all his life to make a wedding dress for others!
Xi's life is tragic!
Yixi's blood was splashed in the air, and Zhang Xianzhong immediately showed a greedy look on his face. He opened his mouth and sucked in fiercely, sucking in all the blood scattered in the air into his belly like a whale sucking water.
Immediately afterwards, each of the dozens of ghost hands grabbed a piece of meat and presented it to Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Xianzhong licked the bright red blood on his lips, and then began to eat. A heart-stopping sound of biting came from the Kowloon Town Golden Pagoda...
And the entire Jiulong Town Golden Pagoda began to gradually shrink. From now on, this tower has become a treasure of Zhang Xianzhong!
…
Chang Xiao didn't know much about Zhang Xianzhong, but he was enlightened by the name Li Zicheng. Even if Chang Xiao had a bad history in his previous life, he would still know about this person!
It was this person who forced Chongzhen to go to Diao Mei Mountain. It was this person who occupied the Ming Dynasty. It was also this person who caused the Qing soldiers to invade the Central Plains. It is impossible to tell whether this person is right or wrong, but what does this person mean to Chinese history?
It's all a turning point.
In fact, even if Zhang Xianzhong is integrated with the Jiulong Town Golden Pagoda, Chang Xiao still doesn't take it seriously, because there may be a figure like him in history, even quite famous, but in the end, he is just a loser, but the name Li Zicheng is
When Chang Xiao appeared, he felt a great sense of crisis. Chang Xiao didn't even have to think about it. This Li Zicheng must also be a person infused with dragon veins. In Chang Xiao's subconscious, he only had three enemies, one was Chongzhen and the other was Li Zicheng.
The other one is Huang Taiji who is enjoying the wind and recuperating in the northwest.
"Where is Li Zicheng?" Chang Xiao asked.
Zuo Liangyu actually wanted to recruit Chang Xiao as his assistant after Chang Xiao arrived. Although Chang Xiao was not well-known before and was known as a jester, Chang Xiao's military exploits were real.
Add some water!
Although the number of Changxiao's men and horses is not large, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. They can defeat the enemy immediately and never fail!
Zuo Liangyu seems to be in a good situation on the surface now, but like a person who knows whether drinking water is cold or warm, only Zuo Liangyu himself knows how bad his situation is.
Now he has to attract every bit of his strength and use it well. He can never let go of a nearly invincible force like Chang Xiao. He is even making up his mind, hoping to persuade Chang Xiao to fight hard.
When Chang Xiao asked Li Zicheng about Li Zicheng, Zuo Liangyu naturally perked up and led Chang Xiao to the sandbox map behind the commander's tent.
Chang Xiao walked to the map and took a closer look. He saw that there were two key points marked on the sand table map. One was in Wuchang City, which was naturally Zhang Xianzhong, and the other was located in Chenghuang Town, and this was Li Zicheng.
And Zuo Liangyu is now in Ma'an Township between Wuchang City and Chenghuang Town. In other words, if Zuo Liangyu goes to attack Wuchang City, then Li Zicheng will definitely lead more than 10,000 people to cut off his retreat.
There really aren't too many people, but they are enough to use as a retreat to disgust people. Once you are attacked from both sides, the first problem that will arise is probably the morale of the people. Secondly, there will also be big trouble in transporting grain and grass. In short, there must be no people behind the scenes.
Any force exists!
Zuo Liangyu sighed and said: "Wuchang is a place with many mountains and rivers, undulating hills, and crisscrossing lakes and rivers. Since ancient times, it has been a "geographical hub on the outside and dangerous terrain on the inside." It is a battleground for military strategists. This is what Li Zicheng only needs
Once I found a hilltop, I had nowhere to look for him. There were not too many of them. Ten thousand people tried to hide them, but they simply disappeared without a trace. I really couldn't mobilize the strength to surround and suppress the opponent, so I
It has become the current situation where we are surrounded by enemies from both sides and cannot get off the tiger!"
Zuo Liangyu saw Chang Xiao and was silent in thought. After a slight pause, he continued: "Now I only need a group of soldiers and horses to help me wipe out this Li Zicheng. If Li Zicheng's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are wiped out, even if they will
If 50% of his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are cut off, then I can freely go against Zhang Xianzhong. By then, it will no longer be certain who will win."
"You want me to help you kill Li Zicheng?" Chang Xiao said calmly while looking at the map.
Zuo Liangyu didn't say anything. They were both smart people. The words ended here. If Chang Xiao didn't want to go, there was nothing he could do. Chang Xiao was sent by the emperor and had not been appointed to any position yet.
He was not a member of his army, Zuo Liangyu couldn't handle such a person at all.
"Chenghuang Town is close to the Yangtze River and is open all around. I will lead the army there. He might find me before I get there. When Li Zicheng's feet are greased, I won't even be able to see his shadow. If I want to deal with Li Zicheng, he will
Ten thousand horses, unless we drive him into a dead end."
Zuo Liangyu also looked down slightly. Li Zicheng was like a rat now, scurrying around. Zuo Liangyu didn't want to strangle him to death, but he had also sent troops before. Unfortunately, when he moved here, Li Zicheng moved there. He was like this
Before Bian could see Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng was already running far away. Pursuing him along the way was a waste of food and grass.
"That's why I hope Lord Chang can send troops to annihilate this Li Zicheng. Lord Chang has killed countless bandits and kicked out dozens of groups of thieves along the way. His fighting power is amazing, but the number is not too many. He is an elite soldier. I
We went to kill Li Zicheng several times but failed. The reason was that there were not enough people to defeat Li Zicheng, there were many people and the target was too big. As Mr. Chang said, before our people arrived, Li Zicheng had already fled.
If the five thousand people under Mr. Chang take action, the situation will be different. First of all, Li Zicheng may not be staring at Mr. Chang like he is staring at me. Mr. Chang's team can attack from behind Li Zicheng in a roundabout way. In addition, Mr. Chang has few people.
The operation is silent, so Li Zicheng may not be able to discover Master Chang's team. Even if he does, Master Chang's team is only five thousand. Li Zicheng is also a proud man. He has 10,000 soldiers on his side, so maybe he will
I plan to eat up Lord Chang’s team in one go, so that Lord Chang will have a chance.”
Chang Xiao couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, and looked at Zuo Liangyu and said: "General Zuo is very calculating. Do you know how much it will cost if I really fight to kill Li Zicheng? This Li Zicheng is probably not something that ordinary bandits can compare with."
Well, otherwise General Zuo wouldn't be so cautious. I fought tooth and nail to cut off the rear for you, and your troops marched straight to Huanglong to kill Zhang Xianzhong. By then, all the benefits will be yours. I often laugh but I lead people to die in vain, and I can't touch them.
Li Zicheng is fine, but once we hit him, it might be a lose-lose situation for both sides. Mr. Zuo, if it were you, would you be willing to take 5,000 people to risk your life for Li Zicheng, who has 10,000 people?"
After hearing this, Zuo Liangyu's face immediately showed awe-inspiring righteousness and said: "This is natural. Now that our family and country are in trouble, we will naturally dedicate ourselves to death, and the imperial court will raise troops for a thousand days..."
Chang Xiao sneered and said: "Master Zuo, what you say is too false. Although I am young, I am not the kind of fool who leads his brothers to die after hearing a few lies. Besides, my
The soldiers under my command were not raised by the imperial court, and they have not received a cent from the imperial court."
Zuo Liangyu was interrupted by Chang Xiao's generous words. Chang Xiao also said something so explicit, poking at his hypocrisy. Zuo Liangyu really wanted to impress Chang Xiao with his words and asked Chang Xiao to run and work hard. Unexpectedly,
Chang Xiao looks young, but he has none of the impulsiveness and flattery of young people. No matter how thick-skinned his old face is, he can't help but show a look of forgiveness. However, judging from the current situation, Chang Xiao is the only one.
Only by attacking Li Zicheng with a force that was not very popular and had good fighting ability could he catch Li Zicheng by surprise. No one else could touch Li Zicheng's tail. Zuo Liangyu thought about another way to persuade Chang Xiao.
Chang Xiao thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible for me to beat Li Zicheng, but..."
When Zuo Liangyu heard this, his spirit immediately shook, and he quickly said: "Brother Chang, just tell me what you want." Zuo Liangyu really had no choice. If Zhang Xianzhong hadn't integrated with the Jiulong Town Golden Pagoda, he would have been killed by the dragon.
If the Qi filled his body, he would have a lot of time to delay it slowly, but it was different now, things suddenly became urgent.
You must know that the general Zuo Liangyu was given to him by Chongzhen. Why did Chongzhen give him this general? To destroy Zhang Xianzhong, now it is better. Zhang Xianzhong has not been destroyed for a long time. Instead, he was combined with the Jiulong Town Golden Pagoda to give birth to dragon energy.
!
This has touched Chongzhen's weak spot. What is the emperor most afraid of? Of course, the instability of the throne. The emperor can tolerate other things, but this is the only thing he cannot tolerate! If Zuo Liangyu doesn't do something within a short period of time,
, I am afraid that General Chongzhen will turn his anger on him!
When the time comes, it will be a trivial matter to lose one's official position and be demoted, but the crime of dereliction of duty will be enough to be beheaded.
Not long ago, the former Minister of War was beheaded, and just a few days ago, the head of the cabinet chief Qian Longxi was finally beheaded by Chongzhen. This is a bloody lesson. Zuo Liangyu, who is good at observing changes in the court, clearly felt
Now, the emperor is trying to establish his authority and is eager to find a target to establish his authority. Half of the princes locked up in the Jinyiwei cell have already confessed to the crime of treason. Calculated according to time, there is now a river of blood outside the Meridian Gate.
, this is all because the dragon veins of the imperial mausoleum were discovered by Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong caused Chongzhen's dragon energy to leak out. It lost its previous majesty and all the officials were dissatisfied. Chongzhen had been quiet for several months, and now he can only
He relied on killing to maintain his dignity as an emperor.
At this time, the incident of Zhang Xianzhong being filled with dragon veins happened, and Chongzhen's rage could be imagined. Zuo Liangyu had to do something before Chongzhen got angry, and temporarily calmed down Chongzhen's anger towards him.
So Zuo Liangyu is very anxious at this time. As long as Chang Xiao is willing to deal with Li Zicheng, he can agree to anything now.
Chang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Food, firearms, and most importantly, horses! I need a thousand horses!"
Zuo Liangyu thought that Chang Xiao would make such a difficult request, but he didn't know that there were so many requests. Except for the one thousand horses, which were not easy to raise, the rest were a piece of cake for him.
Zuo Liangyu was afraid that Chang Xiao would regret it, so he quickly said: "Okay, I will be able to raise food and firearms for Mr. Chang right away. As for the thousand horses, give me a day, and I will definitely send the horses to Mr. Chang in one day."
In the camp.”
Chang Xiao nodded when he heard this. He knew that what he wanted was really not a big deal. Although he told Zuo Liangyu that killing Li Zicheng was a bad thing, in Chang Xiao's heart he didn't feel that now
How difficult it is to deal with Li Zicheng. After all, Li Zicheng only has 10,000 people on his side now. In Chang Xiao's view, it is the best time to kill Li Zicheng before he has accomplished anything. If he waits until Li Zicheng grows stronger,
It would be too difficult to kill him.
Chang Xiao was also imbued with dragon energy. If he had the opportunity to eliminate those who were imbued with dragon energy, Chang Xiao would never let it go.
Moreover, after killing the dragon vein infuser, the dragon vein in the slain dragon vein possessor will be attached to the person possessing the dragon vein who killed him. In other words, if Li Zicheng is killed, the dragon vein in Li Zicheng will be attached to the person who possesses the dragon vein.
Xiao Xiao said that even if there was no request from Zuo Liangyu, he would definitely go. There was no reason not to go, whether it was public or private.
At dusk, when Chang Xiao left the commander's tent, a truckload of firearms and provisions followed Chang Xiao.
Chang Xiao now just wants to strengthen the strength of his private soldiers. Firearms, food and horses are all indispensable for strengthening.
Chang Xiao returned to the military camp and immediately consulted with Wang Gui, Dou Zhang and others.
…
Chongzhen has been very irritable recently. More and more of his dragon scales are falling off, his mood is getting worse, his body is getting worse, his spirit is getting worse, his court is getting worse, and his political affairs are getting worse.
In short, nothing is good here in Chongzhen, and everything around is getting worse and worse!
Chongzhen seemed to have fallen into a whirlpool. There were countless hands under the whirlpool, pulling his hands and feet to push him into the water. He was struggling constantly, trying to get out of this whirlpool.
I came out, but unfortunately I fell deeper and deeper.
Chongzhen is not a character who can be defeated. Even in such a situation, he is still very high-spirited. This feeling of high-spiritedness is even close to morbid.
Chongzhen now puts all his hopes on Bao Bao and the Holy Church because he can no longer find a better way.
He made the decision to convert to the Holy Religion!
He needs to seek a path other than the normal path. He already knows that the right path will not work, and now he can only take the evil path.
Now that he has made a decision, he no longer has any scruples. He wants to re-establish the majesty of the emperor. The best way to establish majesty is to kill!
