Chapter 2 Choice Before the executioner could pull out the death card from the prisoner's back, a strong wind suddenly blew up on Taiping Dike. White mist surged in the field, and sand and rocks flew everywhere. coming! Zhao Wumian narrowed his eyes and secretly used his internal energy to be on guard. On the embankment behind the sycamore tree, a magnificent purple light lit up, and under the purple light was an illusory huge bat wing, so big that it seemed to cover the sky and the sun! When the wings were retracted, the 120 Yipintang assassins hiding below were revealed, each of them was a murderer who killed without blinking an eye. Yipintang actually hid so many people in broad daylight! Zhao Wumian had seen similar methods in the game before, and now seeing it with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel amazed. The combat system of "Mythical Ming Dynasty" has always been well received. It introduces the concepts of Yin-Yang and Taoism on the basis of fantasy and martial arts. And the most amazing gift and magical power.
The Yin-Yang arts and Taoism were passed down from Zou Zi and Lao Tzu in the ancient pre-Qin period, while the innate magical powers are the inherent abilities of the "strange beasts of the mountains and seas" in the game, such as the dream tapir marrying dreams, Bifang controlling fire, the nine-tailed fox bewitching and so on. Using similar methods, the Shan Hai Jing is full of records of strange beasts "eating people". It was not until the ancestors of the human race created the method of "planting spirits" and integrated it into martial arts, allowing warriors to refine the essence and blood of exotic beasts and display their innate magical powers, that the offense and defense were reversed. ——"Records of Strange Things in China" records: In the Tangqiao Mountain, there is a beast with a rat body and purple wings, called "ostrich rat". When it encounters an enemy, it covers its head with its wings, so its shape cannot be seen. Using wings to conceal one's form is the ostrich's innate magical power! Being able to lead 120 people and hide from Mao Xiang and Jiang Huan, this person's cultivation must be no less than the fourth level. "Rob the execution ground! Save the Prime Minister!" "Rob the execution ground! Save the Prime Minister!" After two impassioned roars, the 120 people rushed towards Hu Weiyong like a surging tide. Each of them had extraordinary body movements and was as fast as a ghost. "kill!" A loud shout came from the sky. It was Mao Xiang's voice. The Jinyiwei in the dark immediately took action, rushing into the strong wind and white fog from all directions. The execution ground immediately fell into chaos. There were flashes of swords and sabers everywhere, blood and flesh flying everywhere, screams and shouts of killing one after another. On the execution platform, Jiang Huan sat steadily, playing with the long sword in his hand without moving, with a sneer on his lips. His task was to keep an eye on Hu Weiyong and wait for the big fish. He had no interest in such petty tricks. If he doesn't move, Zhao Wumian and others won't have to move either. Zhao Wumian is only a centurion, and a deputy one at that. His previous cultivation level was only at the first level, which was not presentable enough. It would be best if he could stay still. A real fight broke out right before our eyes! But the levee was splattered with blood and there were fallen corpses all around, some with their heads and bodies separated, some with their chests torn and limbs broken, blood and flesh flying everywhere, heads rolling around, and all he could hear were the screams of the dying. Zhao Wumian felt dizzy and nauseous, and his palms were full of cold sweat, but he tried his best to endure it. In this martial arts world where the strong prey on the weak, fighting is the norm. If you can't bear it, something bad will happen sooner or later.
I saw the Yipintang killers fighting their way into the execution ground, getting closer and closer to Hu Weiyong. Zhao Wumian and others drew their swords. At this moment, another voice rang out, covering the entire place like thunder. "The universe is yin and yang, the nine laws and commands, the two yin and yang are focused, and the eight gates are opened!" Mao Xiang in the dark took action, performing Yin-Yang magic. A ray of brilliant light shot up into the sky, and the vitality of heaven and earth responded. In an instant, wind and clouds gathered on Taiping Dike, and thunder rumbled. Eight formation flags dropped from the sky, with eight evil spirits painted on them, including Zhifu, Tengshe, Taiyin, and Baihu, guarding the eight directions and forming a formation. The moment the formation takes shape. The true Qi drew the Qi of heaven and earth into a cage, covering all the killers and Jinyiwei within the formation. These 120 people were immediately trapped. "sharp……" An old and hoarse voice came from the clouds and mist: "The Eight-Gate Dragon Locking Formation is truly exquisite." "Hua Hanchun, stop hiding it!" Jiang Huan stood up, strode down the platform, and directly pointed out the identity of the person hiding: "There are only two people in Yipintang who can hide from me and Governor Mao. One is the mad lion Wu Zefeng, but he doesn't have the courage to go against the court! The other is you, Hua Hanchun, the camel of the northern frontier. Only you, an old fool, would bring a group of trash to die! I just didn't expect that the Dharma image you have hidden for so long would be [Ostrich]. Haha, you cherish your own things, nothing more than that..." Jiang Huan smiled and drew his sword. Suddenly, a roar like that of a dragon or an elephant rang out between heaven and earth. The true energy exploded, attracting the vital energy of heaven and earth to gather together, and a huge Dharma image appeared above his head. Zhao Wumian looked up and saw a "rhinoceros" standing tall. ——"Records of Strange Things in Shenzhou" records: There is a beast in the Mt. Xi, which looks like a cow, but has a gray body, and sounds like a dragon. It can be destroyed by swords and knives, but it cannot be broken. It eats people, and its name is "Xiqu". The Xiqu people have unparalleled defense and are indestructible! In comparison, ostriches are indeed far behind. The voice in the mist came again, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry: "As expected, you are the two most powerful dogs in the Pacification Department. But how can you be sure that only Yipintang came?" As soon as the words fell, a long Buddhist chant was heard from afar: "A! Mi! Tuo! Buddha!" Supernatural powers and true words. Each word was pronounced with great emphasis, the sound was like a loud bell, and could be heard clearly within a radius of ten miles! As the voice sounded, invisible waves swept across the execution ground, the eight flags shattered at the same time, and the formation was broken! All the killers and royal guards were in a trance, and their internal strength was suddenly stagnant after being shouted at! "Oh no! The bald donkey from the Snow Mountain!" "Damn Hua Hanchun! Damn Xueshan Temple!" Jiang Huan and Mao Xiang in the dark changed their faces. Hu Weiyong was arrested only yesterday. In such a short time, Hua Hanchun actually found the great lama who was far away in the Snow Mountain Temple in Tubo to help him do such a heinous act as robbing the execution ground! Hu Weiyong must have something that tempted the old monk, so he was willing to go against the imperial court... But now is not the time to pursue any of this. The "True Word Art" is a secret skill of the Snow Mountain Temple, which is exactly the same as the "Silent Zen" of Buddhism. To practice this art, one must remain silent. The longer the "silent" time, the more power is accumulated, and the more powerful it will be when the skill is broken! There was once a "Living Buddha" in Tibet who practiced this skill for seventy years. The day he opened his mouth, he killed a ghost chariot of the fifth realm with just one word! This monk has been keeping silent for quite some time now. Being at the peak of the same fourth realm, he actually broke Mao Xiang's "Eight Gates Dragon Locking Formation" with just one mouth. The two knew something was wrong, but they were caught off guard and their minds were invaded by the truth, which frightened them for a moment! In just this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be paused.
Everyone was shocked by the mantra, their minds were in a trance, their vital energy was stagnant, and their bodies were stiff, as if they had been acupunctured. Mao Xiang and Jiang Huan were extremely anxious. They knew that Hua Hanchun would definitely take action after the secret trick, but their minds were invaded by the truth and they were out of control. They could only freeze in place. As expected, a figure took the opportunity to rush into the battlefield, stepping on the "Jinghong Treading Snow Step", like a flying sword, instantly passed through the crowd, and came in front of Hu Weiyong with many phantoms. He was an old man in a gray robe, holding a cane, with short eyes and a hunchback. It was none other than the strongest killer of Yipintang, the Bright Camel of the Northern Sai, Hua Hanchun. "Prime Minister, I'm here to save you!" Hu Weiyong's hands and feet were locked with shackles, and the chains were deep in the ground, so there was no way to use telekinesis or other means to capture him. Moreover, the Hanjiang Black Gold Lock was specially made and could only be broken by a magical weapon. Hua Hanchun came prepared. He immediately drew out his sword and was about to chop at the chain. As long as the iron chains are cut, no one can stop him with his speed! To save someone, just one breath is enough! Hua Hanchun is determined to win. however. What he didn't know was. At this moment, someone among the Jinyiwei had already broken free from the control of the mantra and regained consciousness. Zhao Wumian! His physique is full, and he is naturally skilled in horizontal training, so his physical resistance is amazing, which is equivalent to being born with a set of golden bells. His spirituality is at full value, and he is born with a Taoist body, so his resistance to magic is not low, which is equivalent to adding a set of magic resistance to the Golden Bell Cover. Combining these two factors, although he was still hurt and dazed when facing the [True Word], he broke free almost instantly. just now. There are two paths before Zhao Wumian. One was to watch Hu Weiyong escape without having to fight or take risks. Afterwards, the main responsibility would be on Mao Xiang and Jiang Huan, and he had done nothing wrong. It was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to put the blame of a small centurion on him for his poor supervision of the execution that led to the criminal's escape. The second option is to take a risk and take action before Hua Hanchun rescues Hu Weiyong. Hu Weiyong, who has lost his martial arts skills, should be attacked. Hua Hanchun is afraid of harming the innocent and is eager to save people. This is the time when the threat is the smallest. As long as they can drag out this short period of restraint and wait for Mao Xiang and Jiang Huan to take action, it will be a great achievement! But the price he paid was that from then on he became enemies with Yipintang and the Hu Party. Hu Weiyong served as prime minister for several years, and his followers were spread all over the country. In particular, he was from Huaixi and the leader of the Huaixi Party. As everyone knows, the current emperor relied on the Huaixi brothers to build his empire. After the founding of the country, there were so many meritorious civil and military officials in Huaixi. Even if they did not dare to target them openly due to pressure from the emperor, with the power of those nobles, a casual warning would be enough to cause Zhao Wumian a lot of trouble. No matter how you look at it, standing aside and watching is the best option. Zhao Wumian's reason also told him that even if he didn't take action this time, with his qualifications, he would surely shine in the future, so why rush? Zhao Wumian's mind raced, and he was about to give up, but when he saw the "2" in the life span column... he only had two years left to live, so what the hell was he waiting for? ! Just do it! Fortune and wealth are sought in danger, while evil comes from the courage. Zhao Wumian said nothing and slashed with his knife. The azure light of the knife was as fast as lightning and it slashed hard at Hu Weiyong's neck.
Stay for me! (End of this chapter)
