Chapter 1524 The World Is Like a Sea of ​​Suffering, You and I Are All Trying to Cross It

The heavy rain has finally stopped.

The clouds in the sky have dispersed, revealing a ray of sunshine.

Of course, the shadows in the world will not be easily wiped out.

The fishy smell is a sticky thing that will stick to your nasal cavity. It reminds you all the time that something has happened.

The blood has become a line on the ground.

The corpses are everywhere, forming a unique landscape.

Everything that was once lively and noisy has become silent.

Yi Shengfeng sheathed his sword and walked away.

Seven days and seventeen battles, nothing more than killing people and walking.

Although it is said that the Seven Killings Master and the Huaiguo Mansion have reached a tacit understanding.

But of course there is no restriction in the killing order of the Huaiguo Mansion. Anyone can kill Yi Shengfeng, and anyone can get the reward. Anyone can get shelter after killing Yi Shengfeng.

The restriction on not taking action above the God’s presence is completed by the deterrence of the Nandou Hall.

If any strong person who is at or above the level of God attacks Yi Shengfeng, Lu Shuanghe, the Seven Killings Immortal, will personally question him with his sword. No matter where he comes from, no matter where he comes from, it all depends on life and death.

"What a bullshit tacit understanding, it's a completely one-sided compromise."

Yi Shengfeng thought silently.

But this world is the law of the jungle, and the winner is right. He has already understood it, and there is nothing to complain about.

When he pushed Jiang Wang into the river, he didn't think of this person for many years.

It is said that he drowned. Even if he didn't drown, Jiang Wang's greatest achievement in such a broken place like Fengxi Town in Fenglin City was to inherit his father's herbal medicine shop, and at most open a few branches.

So many years later, he returned to his birthplace with a sword, overlooking the world with a mind that towers above the clouds. Perhaps he would just laugh at what happened that year, put down hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, and reminisce about the friendship of childhood.

But unfortunately, Jiang Wang did not die.

Not only did Jiang Wang not die, he also began to practice.

After missing the chance to become an immortal in the Nandou Palace, he still embarked on the path of cultivation.

Cultivation would be fine, working hard in the small land of Zhuang State, wandering around in the small Taoist temple of Zhuang State, struggling for a lifetime, and at most being the head of the Criminal Investigation Department. Tenglong Realm or Neifu Realm?

But Jiang Wang actually went to Qi State, which dominated the Eastern Region, and actually represented Qi State to win the Yellow River Championship.

Therefore, he saw a broader future than Yi Shengfeng!

Then the hatred that he pushed Jiang Wang into the stream and almost drowned him became real hatred.

Then the coldness, oppression, suffocation, and great terror between life and death in the water were truly felt!

Jiang Wang was no longer a ray of thin childhood memories, but really jumped out of that stream and jumped into his world of Zongjian Qingming, heard by him and felt by him.

He has been a stubborn person since he was a child. When he was a child, he fought with Jiang Wang with wooden swords. No matter how many times he lost, he would grit his teeth and start over, holding Jiang Wang and not letting him go, and he must win back.

But Jiang Wang was actually the same. In so many sword fights, Jiang Wang never let him go once.

He knew that Jiang Wang would never let him go, so he would never let Jiang Wang go.

It was that simple.

At a certain moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart and couldn't help looking up at the sky. There was an extremely subtle response in the distant starry sky.

His star tower rustled like the wind through the leaves, but I don't know why it sounded.

The Taoist tradition of the Southern Dipper Hall is ancient and does not follow the so-called Four Spirits Star Domain.

The star towers built by Yi Shengfeng are all in the killing star.

It is called Mars, Seven Killings, Pojun, and... Greedy Wolf!

It was the Greedy Wolf Star Tower that suddenly produced a subtle response. This star also has a name, called Tianshu, located in the Big Dipper.

This feeling is like a breeze rippling the surface of the lake.

He concentrated his mind to pursue it, but he didn't know where the wind came from or where it went, and the lake was already calm.

Just as he was about to manifest his soul into a star tower to see through this wave, his heart suddenly surged with blood!

Danger has arrived.

Yi Shengfeng turned around without hesitation, immediately abandoned the preset action plan, and went through the forest.

If possible, he was not willing to put himself in danger and face life and death. But if he had to face it, he would definitely draw his sword to save himself and let the other party die.

The world is like a sea of ​​suffering, and you and I are all fighting to cross it.

This battle royale in the entire southern region is of course the attitude of the Duke of Huaiguo Mansion of the Great Chu, and of course it is the sword-sharpening journey that the Seven Killings True Man tacitly allowed him to do.

But it is also a good time for him, Yi Shengfeng, to make a name for himself and prove his sword.

It must not be weaker than the name of the Southern Dou True Chuan and Lu Shuanghe's personal teaching.

...

...

To the south of the lawless land is the Daishan County of Zhuang State.

The four counties of Zhuang State are Hualin, Qinghe, Daishan, and Yongchang. Apart from the newly established Yongchang County, among the three traditional counties, Daishan County has always been the most well-equipped county. It has the most beast nests and the most brave soldiers. The famous Jiujiang Black Armor originated from here.

One day, the road was filled with smoke and dust, and a cavalry army rushed over quickly.

A large flag fluttered in the wind, with two big characters on it - "Huangfu".

As the first military official of Zhuang State, Huangfu Duanming, the general of Zhuang State, is often overlooked.

When people mention Zhuang State, they must mention Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui.

Then they trace back to the past and remember Zhuang Chengqian.

Ask ten people in the Western Border, nine of them don't know who Huangfu Duanming is.

When Zhuang Gaoxian lived in seclusion in the deep palace, he often competed with Du Ruhui, and he still had a sense of existence, but unfortunately he was suppressed by Du Ruhui for many years.

Of course, this drama of discord between the general and the minister lasted for many years, and at the end, they also got rich rewards, which enabled them to successfully seize the White Bone True Pill and let Zhuang Gaoxian reach the truth in one fell swoop.

After the Zhuang Kingdom ushered in the era of rejuvenation, Zhuang Gaoxian was called a heroic ruler and Du Ruhui was called a wise minister. Huangfu Duanming, who was in charge of the military, seemed to have disappeared, and rarely made any moves to show his existence.

However, the fact that the Zhuang Kingdom was able to defeat the Yong Kingdom and the Zhuang Army was able to capture the Dragon Lock Pass was not only the credit of Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui. Without a strong army, no matter how big the pattern or how excellent the strategy is, it cannot be implemented.

Zhuang Gaoxian often said in private that General Huangfu was my dragon bone, and if he was pulled out, the sky would fall.

Although Huangfu Duanming was low-key, his weight in the political situation of the Zhuang Kingdom had never diminished. No one could shake his position in the army.

In these years, the battles in the south and the north were all centered on him.

After the capture of the Dragon Lock Pass, he also personally guarded it and made it impregnable.

Now he quietly left the Dragon Lock Pass and appeared in Daishan County. He personally led the army and marched northward, and his intention was self-evident.

The king and ministers of Zhuang State had tried their best to remove the nail of Huang Jinmo, and now of course they had to enjoy the fruits.

Compared with Yong State, their disadvantage was that they could only passively wait for the strong men of the Mohist School to take action, and their actions would definitely be slower.

But the advantage was that they made preparations earlier.

Isn't it a coincidence?

When the two real-level combat forces of the Mohist School were asking for punishment for not redeeming the city, Huangfu Duanming happened to be inspecting Jiujiang.

He didn't even have time to report to the emperor, and he personally led his troops northward at the first time. Naturally, it was the decision of the famous general.

The sound of the wind, the neighing of horses, and the collision of armor and leaves, the sound of the battlefield always gives warriors a different kind of relief.

Huangfu Duanming rode his horse and silently thought about the emperor's layout this time.

When Zhuang Gaoxian was still in the realm of God, he hid in the deep palace to recuperate in the name of cultivation, and he stayed in seclusion for many years. At that time, the Yong Kingdom, which was bounded by the Qichang Mountains, did not discover it, and no one in the court or the country knew about it.

He had kept it a secret for so many years, so he must have his own unique reliance.

Now that he has achieved the Dongzhen, it is even more different.

Why was he able to deceive the White Bone Evil God and accurately take away the White Bone True Pill at the last moment?

Why was he confident that he could publicly try Jiang Wang in Yujing Mountain and give ironclad evidence of his connection with the devil?

Why was he confident that he could put the blame on Huang Jinmo so that no one could find out the truth for a while?

Huangfu Duanming certainly knew the answer.

But even if he knew the answer, he still couldn't help feeling uneasy.

The emperor's plan was too dangerous, and it was not a grand and correct way.

But then again...

The powerful Qin dominated the western border, Yong State got the support of Mohism, and Yujing Mountain's biggest interests were in Jing State, so it couldn't spare too much energy for Zhuang State. The king and ministers of Zhuang State didn't want to be too deeply affected by Yujing Mountain...

In such a situation in the western border, what else can we do if we don't take risks?

The emperor was very knowledgeable, and he broke Yong and got the pass. He took risks step by step, and gained a lot, but he couldn't stop.

One day, he would break the deadlock, jump out of the chessboard, and become a real chess player, and maybe he wouldn't have to do this anymore...

But how long is the road to that day?

How many more corpses will be needed to pave the way.

How many people like Duan Lihe who drew their swords...are there?

Huangfu Duanming pondered silently, without showing any expression on his face.

A scout came galloping in front and announced loudly: "The Duke of Yong, Beigong Yu, has been put under military control and the city is not redeemed. A large number of Yong troops are blocking the road ahead!"

The Duke of Yong is certainly not as important as the Duke of the hegemonic country, but as the only Duke of Yong, Beigong Yu represents a different meaning.

As soon as the Yong army entered the lawless land, the top leaders of Zhuang State had already reached a consensus on this battle. This is not a war to overthrow the country, but a war for land and power.

That is to say, we have to fight, and we have to fight within a certain range, but we can't fight too hard.

In the past, if Zhuang State wanted more support from Yujing Mountain, it had to accept more restrictions from the Taoist sect. Benefits and constraints are always equal.

But it's different now.

The Mo Sect laid out the official road and chose Yong State.

If the Taoist sect wants to have some restrictions, it actually has no choice except Zhuang State.

In order to curb the Mo Sect's layout of the official road and strengthen its control over Zhuang State, Yujing Mountain must also make some considerations and choices. And this is the space for the top leaders of Zhuang State to maneuver...

"The old dog came so fast." Huangfu Duanming hid all his thoughts, only pointed his whip to the north, and said angrily: "Let's go meet him!"

...

...

"Have you seen a man?"

Outside the city gate, a ragged and dirty man was asking people questions everywhere.

His tattered coat must have been very bright, but now it is very dull red.

Judging from his pigtails, he must have been very handsome, but now it is dirty and greasy, as if it has been glued together.

At this time, the city of Bushu has already entered a state of military control.

What life gold system, what freedom, all have become history.

The only thing that counts here is the military law of the Yong army.

Two rows of Yong soldiers in armor and holding swords are stationed at the city gate, and their temperament is very grim.

"Get out!" One of the soldiers said impatiently.

But the man just asked: "Have you seen her?"

He gestured with his hands: "So short, so thin, very rich, a girl, with a lot of toys."

He asked: "Have you seen her?"

"No, no, hurry up and leave. It's not worth it to get chopped down later." Another soldier made a gesture to drive them away.

The man shrank his head and walked aside, but muttered: "If you see her, drive her away. Don't let her play here."

"Who is this?" The young general with two swords on his waist asked on the city gate, "I think he still has some cultivation, how could he have fallen like this?"

"Lord Beigong, this man is said to be the commander of the crime guards here before, called Lian Heng." The commander of the guards next to him replied: "When the opera girl manipulated the counter-five elements to move the tower, he collected a bag of yuan stones and kept it there. He was standing guard nearby. When Master Tiangong arrived, he fainted on the spot. Jiang Wang picked him up and handed him over to other crime guards. They also wanted to wait for him to wake up and take charge of the situation, but they didn't expect him to wake up. I don’t know whether I’m alive or dead, but Huang Jinmo has been captured and questioned, and after the city of Buhu was destroyed...he immediately went crazy.”

"Where are those criminal guards?" Bei Gongke asked.

"Some have been incorporated, and some are still hiding in the wild, but the people's hearts have long been dispersed." The guard commander looked at the crazy Lian Heng at the bottom of the city tower and said: "Otherwise, he wouldn't be wandering around here alone. No one cared about this place before. These criminal guards talk better than anything else, hey, he is pretty cool."

It is really surprising that an extraordinary monk who once served as the commander of the Sin Guards of the Unatoned City has become so crazy now.

But Bei Gong Ke can probably understand the reason for Lian Heng's madness.

Lian Heng simply felt that it was him who gave the Mo girl the opportunity to teleport a real person, and it was his carelessness as the leader of the criminal guards that caused the city lord to miss the possibility of escaping. It was he who was so obsessed with getting rich that he lured the wolf into the house.

He was already seriously injured and his body and mind were fragile. He could not bear the impact for a while, and his mind collapsed.

But the most cruel part is that the Mo family wants to arrest Huang Jinmo, and it is useless no matter how perfectly Huang Jinmo responds. People like Lian Heng, no matter what they do, they can't even cope with it. Even though he had once been prosperous, he had also been free and unrestrained... The mountains were falling, and the people were like floating eaves.

In the big man's game of chess, the crisp sound of the chess pieces hitting the chessboard buried the cries of many people.

It may be difficult for him, Bei Gong Ke, to be an exception.

At this time, there was a commotion downstairs at the city gate.

"You're going to go away if I tell you to, right?" The first impatient soldier pulled out his saber and walked towards the crazy Lian Heng: "Keep shouting, keep shouting, it's annoying grandpa to death!"

Lian Hengquan didn't realize it and was still shouting: "Don't let her play here, this is our home, this is my home!"

"Rescue the person and find a place to raise him." Bei Gongke said casually,

"Sir, the war is about to begin, and brothers have a lot to do." The guard commander said reluctantly: "He has become so crazy..."

"Do as you do." Bei Gongke only said this, then walked to the other side and continued to patrol the city defenses.

The commander of the personal guards had no choice but to jump off the tower while enduring Lian Heng’s crazy voice and continue——

"Drive her away, drive her away, drive her away!"
