The Li Tang Navy was led by the flagship iron armored ship Tianwei, the four-story giant ships of Jade Dragon, Flying Tiger, Silver Eagle, and Night Owl, and the vast fleet sailed down the river.
Li Jiancheng and his confidant generals Zhuo Li, the bow of the ship, leisurely enjoying the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River
He was wearing a light clay-yellow armor and covered with a silver cloak that was reaching the ground. He blew in the wind and had a majesty and arrogance that looked down on the world.
In the afternoon sun, the Yangtze River is like a vast jade belt, blown by the long wind, one wave after another of different sizes and shapes, and there are thousands of silver snakes struggling and moving.
The terrain on both sides has gradually become plain, with terraces stacked and dense green colors. The vaguely visible on the Chibi Mountain in the distance is surrounded by clouds and mist, and the landscape is endless.
More than an hour ago, Li Tang naval commander 320 warships attacked along the river, and without any effort, the Luoyang army was about to occupy Yiling, the only important town south of the river.
Li Jiancheng, who tasted the taste of winning a battle for the first time, was ecstatic: the speed of winning the war was so wonderful, no less than being surrounded by people and enjoying the worship of thousands of people
At the same time, I have more confidence in the larger water battles that follow one after another
Li Tang cooperated with Xiao Xian and was not worried that the other party would make a fraud. It was just because under the current situation, Xiao Xian did not want to surrender, so he naturally failed to rely on defending Baling. So he accepted Li Jiancheng's proposal: The section from Bashu to Xiakou was originally controlled by Xiao Xian to temporarily lend it to Li Tang, and the Jiangnan city obtained by Li Tang belonged to Xiao Xian.
This is an agreement that both sides can benefit: Xiao Xian saw that the main wars were concentrated in the Yellow River Basin and near Luoyang. If Li Tang seized Baling at this moment, he would be asking for trouble. Therefore, Li Tang's goal could only be cities such as Xiangyang, the Jiangbei region. If Xiangyang is really lost, Luoyang will definitely not be able to help. Li Tang will naturally be prepared to deal with the Pegasus Ranch, so he can only rescue Lin Shihong, who is far away from the battlefield. This is a good opportunity for the ambitious Xiao Xian to expand. He hopes that Luoyang will fight for both losses and both sides will be injured.
As for Li Tang, he also did not take Xiao Xian, who was overestimating his abilities, at all. Their current main target is Luoyang. After getting Luoyang, he would slowly kill Xiao Xian.
Li Jiancheng's right hand, with a sword on his waist, and a leisurely and comfortable expression, is the old monkey. Li Nantian. His internal skills have reached the peak. He is the veteran master of Li Tang, Li Yuan's cousin, and his guard leader; Li Jiancheng's left hand is his brother-in-law, and the head of the Nanhai Sect, Mei Xun; standing side by side with Mei Xun is a one-eyed middle-aged man holding a 8-foot-long Zhongguan knife. This man is strong and burly, with a thick chin and slightly bald head. He has a slight eyebrow and a strong and cruel smell. It is Zong Luohu, the invincible general under Xue Ju, who secretly defected to Li Jiancheng for his livelihood after Xue Ju's defeat.
Other important generals who followed Li Jiancheng were Thunder Sword Qin Wutong, who was a famous general in the Tang court. He was famous for his thunder Sword in Mobei and was as famous as Pang Yu, Yuchi Jingde and others from Tiance Mansion. He carried a big sword and stood on the left back of Li Jiancheng without any expression on his face. Zhuo Li Li Jiancheng's right rear man wearing black clothes and guns was named Qiu Tianjue, who was Li Jiancheng's favorite general. His martial arts were especially above Qin Wutong, and he was a young master who rose locally in Guanzhong.
In the back row, there are the elegant and elegant swordsman Wei Jiaqing, who is one of the three disciples under Jin Dazun, the head of the Longxi sect. The two in the same row are Er Wenhuan and Xue Wanche, among the five generals of Changlin. The former is strong, fierce and stubborn, and looks brave and fierce. The latter is good-looking and has a peerless demeanor in every move. His martial arts are only higher than Li Jiancheng's martial arts.
There is another person who was not on this boat. Li Xiong, the second leader of Jingzhao League, who had been defeated by Hou Wenqing. This person was originally close to Li Jiancheng. After the collapse of Jingzhao League, he secretly defected to Li Jiancheng. He was good at water battles and was steering himself. Yulong is also some less famous generals.
Li Jiancheng looked back at the fleet that could not see the tail and the fishermen nearby who were scared to pull boats to hide on the shore, showing a smug smile.
In order to seize control of the Yellow River, the Li family has been actively training the navy.
The main equipment for water war is warships, which are like a mixture of city blocks, camps, chariots and horses.
A good warship will be brave by fighting, a good warship will be firm by coercion, a fast by chasing, and a strong by rushing. Only when you can achieve courage, solidity, speed and firmness, can you be called a good warship
However, warships are very easy to lose in water battles, so not only are there many, but they also need to be prepared in various performances to cope with ever-changing battles.
After hundreds of years of development, in order to cope with different war needs, ships are classified according to the situation and have their own special uses.
The largest one is the building ship. This kind of ship is tall and wide, with a building appearance, and can accommodate hundreds of people. The bottom is pointed, the boat is wide in the face, and has a head and tail, with a deep draft, which is conducive to breaking the waves through the ocean.
First, send spies to the Pegasus Ranch to steal art, and then after Li Tang's craftsmen racked their brains to transform the famous tower ship of the old Sui Dynasty, the Five-Tooth Large Ship, into a tower ship with a smaller scale but stronger combat power. So there were five battleships including the Tianwei
The decks of these five warships are only three floors, and they are equipped with iron protective panels on the side, standing as strong as walls.
There are four floors in the ship, with the lowest floor covered with wood and stone, which compacts the bottom warehouse, making the hull stable and reducing the bumps in the wind and waves.
There are oar holes on both sides of the hull for the oar to extend out, and all the oars are hidden in the hull
There are no snatch holes on both sides of the stern. Eight giant wheels were installed, and the people in the tail cabin stepped on their feet and used the wheel to stimulate water. The mast sail on the ship increased to ten, which increased its travel speed.
This trick was stolen from Lu Miaozi
This kind of ship has a large hull and strong firepower, which can also deter the enemy. If you encounter smooth sailing, as long as you advance at full speed, when encountering a smaller ship, it is like a car crushing a mantis, fighting the power of the ship without fighting human power... but it is not flexible to rotate and it is difficult to control it freely, so it must be used with other types of ships to exert its power before it can be exerted.
The troops who went to the expedition with Li Jiancheng accounted for one-third of the entire Li Tang Navy. In addition to the five luxury main ships, the second-class one was fifty Meng Chong Dou Ship, which were mainly used to charge and break the enemy. The hull was ten feet shorter than the five main ships twenty-five meters long. They still built a guardrail on the side of the ship on both sides, with a raw cowhide. Because the hull was shorter, the hull hole was opened at the bottom of the guardrail, and the oar was able to be extended and the boat was driven.
Because it lacks the power of the tower ship and is condescending, the guard wall is also opened with crossbow windows and bow holes. During the Battle of Red Cliffs during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhou Yu, the Grand Governor of the Eastern Wu, used dozens of Mengchong Dou Ship, which actually poured into it with firewood and oil. After igniting, it broke into the Cao army's formation and burned the Cao army fleet in one fell swoop. It can be seen that the Mengchong Dou Ship is convenient for attacking the enemy with long-range weapons.
More than 200 other warships are smaller, mainly light and flexible boats and yachts.
When Li Jiancheng turned around, he happened to see Li Nantian frowning, so he said strangely: What are the emperor thinking?
Li Nantian said calmly: Old minister wondered whether the wars in other places have also begun at this moment?
Li Jiancheng laughed and said: Today is the best opportunity, Dou Jiande will definitely attack Hulao
Then a cold light flashed in his eyes and said: The King of Qin should also wait for an opportunity to attack the southern bank of the Great River.
But he cursed the Demon Sect in his heart: He originally planned to lead sailors out of Bashu when people were attracted to the April Magic Sect Conference. However, WānWān and others made a loud thunder and little rain. In the end, no outsiders knew where the Demon Sect Conference was held. Fortunately, there was this eye-catching Supreme Decisive Battle, otherwise Li Jiancheng might have sent troops later. If he was accidentally snatched the limelight by his two brothers, he would not have suffered a lot!
Mei Xun said coldly: The Song clan should also attack the southern portal of Bashu!
Li Jiancheng said: Mei Qing, don’t be excited. Since the Song family secretly seized Hainan Island, the hatred between us has been formed. Since we have sent troops to the Bashu border area, I believe the Song family will never succeed! I hope that today we can meet their so-called warship team that dominates the river! We can bring a large number of turbid oil produced from Bashu, and we will not be afraid of water pouring. Thank them!
Li Nantian said that they were all warriors. He sighed secretly that he had no luck to see the Supreme Demon Sect’s decisive battle. He immediately said: The prince must remember that the enemy is extremely cunning, don’t be careless
He is Li Jiancheng's cousin. Although his official position is bad, he came out this time to protect him personally and supervise him.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Li Jiancheng's eyes and he was taught: "Uncle Huang is saying it."
After a pause, he said with a flash: There are many waters in the upper reaches of the river to Yiling, and there are many beaches. From Yiling to Xiakou, there are many winding and lakes. This is the best position to attack us. After leaving Xiakou, the river surface is more than two hundred feet wide, and the water flow has slowed down. Now we only need an hour to reach Xiakou. The enemy still has not attacked, which means that our army has various advantages and opportunities, and it is difficult to lose! Big defeats small, tough defeats fragile, go against wind, go against countercurrent, go against shallow, fire, wind, jig, and iron locks. This water method is nine leaders. If you violate one of them, you will also end up with the disaster of the boat capsizing and the death of the people. I still understand it!
Everyone was speechless for a moment
A small wooden boat suddenly came in front of him, and a short man in tight leather clothes flew up from it. He came to Li Jiancheng and knelt down and said, "Reward, there were nearly a hundred fighting ships under the Song Dynasty's banner near Xiakou.
Li Jiancheng snorted coldly and ordered: It's just right, all the generals obey the orders!
Yuan Yueze came to the hidden valley in the quiet forest according to his memory
After a pause by the stream in front of the stone house, he immediately stepped on the stones rising from the stream and rushed towards the source of the deep forest behind the hut.
The jade man who has not seen him for about 1990 is not in the room
Bend the stream left and right, and go deep into the dense forest. It is suspected that the stream is over, but it suddenly becomes clear: a small waterfall that emits the sound of fairy music flows down from the gaps in the middle of the mountain, rushing on the lush valley cliff walls, and forms a small pool after reaching the bottom of the cliff, blocked by dense forests. On the other side, you can't see the unique cave here, and you can't hear the natural music of the waterfall.
Yuan Yueze just moved mechanically with his heartbeat faster and faster. He jumped to the wrong place of the old tree plate on the waterfall, and pushed the branches away and walked in.
Although the hall was pitch black, it did not affect his vision. There was a unique cave behind the dense tree at the waterfall's source: the natural cave was arranged into an elegant small hall. Although the sparrows were small, they were all equipped with all the necessary items of the family. There were all the gods engraved with the spiritual position of the ancestor Bi Shi's beautiful heart.
Just as he came in, Shi Qingxuan, who was sitting cross-legged on a soft pad next to the small table, was sitting with her eyes closed and meditating.
Yuan Yuezawa is standing in place
He shines through the stars, his deep and transparent eyes and Shi Qingxuan's clear and clear pair of calm and far-reaching eyes, as if he was inlaid with the dark night sky and the brightest stars in the beautiful eyes.
It can no longer be separated after touching it, just like a magnet, it can be sucked tightly with each other
At the same time, a strange feeling that the other person is close to him, but also seems to be invisible in the deeper realm of the universe.
They're drunk
But their spiritual senses are more transparent and clear than ever before
In an instant, cicadas and insects outside the cave chirped, the cold wind blew, the unique smell of trees, flowers and plants, the sound of the small waterfall flowing, from the universe, from the small grass and stone, each with its own victory. It is fascinating enough to make them feel the meaning behind life and enjoy this intoxicating feeling that fills the world.
When he came to his senses, Yuan Yueze found that he had sat opposite her. Shi Qingxuan, who had changed to a side-sitting position, was lighting a corner of the oil lamp.
The oil lamp lights up, and the flames illuminate Shi Qingxuan's beautiful figure in her extremely beautiful figure
Bi Xiuxin's divine position also produces a solemn and sacred smell. The flame of the oil lamp is like a medium connecting the underworld and the human world.
Shi Qingxuan wore a long lilac gown on top and an apricot yellow silk skirt on the bottom, revealing a pair of crystal-like slender feet without applying any makeup. Her face was still a faint melancholy expression, with a unique beauty of ice, snow, cold and arrogant
Because of her existence, everything around her began to become dreamy and unreal, dreamy and sweet, touching
Yuan Yueze stared straight at her beautiful face that shone with a sacred colored zodiac
Shi Qingxuan's smile widened
It turned into a bright smile that shone through the earth like the moon rising from the east mountain, dispelling her seemingly innate melancholy. After the fragrance opened, she said in a naughty voice: "Don't you see enough yet?"
Hearing her crisp and condensed sound again, as beautiful as the sound of nature, Yuan Yueze nodded mechanically
Shi Qingxuan finally couldn't stand his burning eyes, two red glows burned on his jade cheeks, and his head was slightly lowered.
In order to cover up the embarrassment, she had to lift her slender fingers to gently comb her long and shiny black hair, but she was confused and unconscious of her quiet and elegant movements and postures, which were extremely charming and could make anyone intoxicated.
Yuan Yueze stared at her deeply, and infinite passion surged in his heart, and said with a smile: I am here to pick up Qingxuan this time
His tone fell heavily on the link. Shi Qingxuan, who was smart and smart, trembled violently when she heard this, and her head hung lowered, and she was about to bury her plump and soft-breasted chest. The slender pink neck as beautiful as a swan and the red glow of crystal ears exposed her shyness. It was obvious that she was caught off guard by Yuan Yueze's excessiveness. No matter how you have a heart of mind, your sword is clear, it can't play any role.
The surroundings were quiet, and after a while, Shi Qingxuan raised her eyes. Her pretty face seemed to have a layer of sacred light, which was so beautiful that it was even more affectionate as the sea. She met him without blinking, and returned his passionate gaze, and showed the feelings in her heart unreservedly to him. It was better than thousands of words and endless love words.
Yuan Yueze didn't know who was controlling his hands and stretching forward. The next moment he had embraced the peerless enchantment of his miserable life in front of him, touching her boneless shoulders and slender waist, and her tentacles were filled with youthful vitality and elasticity, and she used all her enthusiasm to find her fragrant lips.
Shi Qingxuan's delicate body trembled violently and her fragrance became hot and soft. Her jade hand wrapped around his neck, intoxicated by the passionate kiss of the soul-aberaging bones
Looking at Shi Qingxuan who was panting in his arms, Yuan Yueze shook his mind and sighed: I almost got my soul away by you, a girl!
Shi Qingxuan was embarrassed. Seeing that this bastard was getting a bargain and was acting obedient, she immediately rewarded him with a few pink punches.
Yuan Yueze screamed exaggeratedly and said: The earth-shaking battle is about to begin. Ruo Qingxuan, everyone has no strength, I can go to watch the battle with you on my back!
Shi Qingxuan's delicate body trembled slightly, and she barely struggled to sit up. Her clothes were not in order, her hair was messy, and her face turned red from shyness suddenly turned dark. Her beautiful eyes were covered with a sad and sad look, and she said softly: Qingxuan doesn't want to see it.
Then he started to make tea with the exquisite tea set on the table and started to cook with leisurely expression.
Yuan Yueze's heart trembled. Thinking of her, she must have felt her helpless experience and was unable to control herself. She was unable to forgive Shi Zhixuan for such a rapid and complex expression change.
So he reached over, and carefully held her tender gusto tightly, his eyes were deeply focused on her beautiful eyes, and said softly: Qingxuan, don’t lie to yourself, no one can change the blood relationship between you, today is likely to be the last time you have seen him!
Shi Qingxuan's hand trembled, and half of the tea in the tea cup was sprinkled onto the silver plate. Then she raised her beautiful eyes and looked at him in confusion.
After drinking a cup of tea, Yuan Yueze explained: Qingxuan has made great progress in his cultivation over the past year, so he should be able to detect his existence? Don’t you think he is very different from before?
Shi Qingxuan's forehead frowned slightly, and several subtle and cute ripples appeared, and then shook her head.
Yuan Yueze smiled bitterly and told him about meeting Shi Zhixuan, saying: Although he concealed it very well, I can be sure that he was using Feixuan to test my feelings for Qingxuan, he might have missed it, but today's evil king is just a painful and regretful husband, a guilty and ashamed father
Shi Qingxuan's flower face turned white, and maintained his voice calm with great self-control. He said softly: You look down on him too highly. Before his death, my mother warned me that Shi Zhixuan is born with a tendency to self-destruct. He cannot tolerate perfect results. He is like what he told you. When he and my mother are drunk with love and the most happy and moving life like the blooming flowers, it is the moment when he started to kill my mother. The Great Sui Kingdom was formed by him to support Yang Jian, and he also destroyed it with one hand. This is the most terrifying part of his personality. Never have any longings or fantasies about him. Now he deliberately makes you and me hope, which is the sign that he wants to destroy everything. Including himself, he not only makes up his mind to destroy you, but also destroy me.
After a pause, he glanced at him in confusion and said: I am really curious why you misunderstood his words as that? He just wanted to destroy himself through duels, because this is his nature that cannot be compromised with his evil and conscience. Just like he destroyed his mother, and at the same time, he destroyed himself. Shi Zhixuan is not a normal person. He never knows how to master the real interest in ordinary life. Only through destruction and destruction can he satisfy his evil thoughts and souls.
Yuan Yueze shook his head helplessly. Shi Qingxuan had too much prejudice against Shi Zhixuan, but last year she took action to stop Yuan Yueze at the moment when Shi Zhixuan was dying, which made him unable to figure it out.
Shi Qingxuan's pleasant voice came into his ears again, saying: I have been reciting most of the year, and I have only been out twice. Once when Master Lu was happy to get a noble son, and once when I was on the sixth day of the sixth month of my mother's death, I realized that he was eavesdropping on the music I played for my mother in the distance. His spirit was not fluctuating. This is exactly the sign that he was completely possessed and had no flaws. The decisive battle may be for self-destruction, or perhaps he wanted to destroy everything after victory! This is also the reason why he chose the decisive battle on the Ghost Festival.
Her tone was as plain as water, as if nothing in the world had changed suddenly, which could cause ripples in the heart.
Yuan Yueze didn't know what to say. Shi Zhixuan was indeed cruel and ruthless, but he didn't believe that the Evil King could give up his deep affection for Bi Xiuxin and his father-daughter relationship with Shi Qingxuan.
This is purely an intuition, no reason is needed, and no reason is found
Sighing, he said helplessly: Then I'll ask Qingxuan to accompany me to watch the battle?
Shi Qingxuan looked at him in shock for a while before flattening her beautiful cherry lips and nodding slightly
The clouds are bleak, covering the sky and the sun, adding to the feeling of coldness and loneliness
Thunderstorm is coming
Yuan Yueze was led by Shi Qingxuan to a hill about half a mile away from the battlefield.
In addition to Hou Xibai who stood with Zhu Yuyan, and An Long who was a little farther away, there were also Sanren Ning Daoqi and the fourth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Master Daoxin, and a middle-aged nun with no expression.
After nodding to Ning Daoqi and Daoxin, the two came to Zhu Yuyan's side. Shi Qingxuan nodded calmly and said hello. Zhu Yuyan was not at all displeased. After returning the gifts with Hou Xibai, the four of them looked at the place of decisive battle together.
The distance of half a mile is almost negligible for these spectators
The open and wide plain is located in the center of a valley, surrounded by cliffs and rugged rocks. A waterfall rushes from the cliff in front of it and pours into a clear pond, stirring up endless splashes of water. It is imposing. The sound of the thunderous waterfall can be heard far and near.
White clothes are better than snow, and barefoot under the skirt, sitting cross-legged by the lake with her eyes closed, her expression calm and peaceful. Her breath is like the sky and water, as if it has merged with all the laws of nature, the world and the universe, and it is even more unfathomable in peace.
WānWān suddenly moved, she first changed from sitting to standing, and then slowly rose, completely contrary to the natural routine
An Long, not far away, shouted excitedly: Brother Shi is here!
A small black dot gradually became clear from a distance, and it was the evil king Shi Zhixuan who could do anything to him.
He was wearing a long Confucian dress and walked forward with his hands in his arms. He was calm and enjoyed the scenery. His eyes were sometimes deep and sometimes hot. With his tall and straight figure, his elegant and beautiful stance actually gave birth to a strange temperament that coexists with elegance and evil, which was intimidating.
Shi Qingxuan couldn't help but grab Yuan Yueze's arm, trembling slightly
Through her own eyes, her bright sword heart also noticed the difference between Shi Zhixuan and the past
Thousands of steps away, Shi Zhixuan walked by leisurely, as if it was slow and fast, full of inexplicable feelings
WānWān completely stood up when Shi Zhixuan came to her ten feet in front of her, and then opened her beautiful eyes.
Her pair of charming eyes lit up the strange blue light, touching Shi Zhixuan, who had just admired the surrounding scenery and turned around, was as cold as ice and snow, and her fierce eyes with a little longing in her eyes.
A strong gust of wind suddenly blew up, dark clouds covered the sky and dark for a moment
The strong wind blows harder and harder, making a sharp whistling sound like a ghost crying, rolling up the sand and dust on the hills flying all over the sky and sprinkling on the plains; the waves in the clear pond are surging, like the sea water at high tide, rushing towards the lake bed, making a shocking sound
At the same time, the middle space where the two people's eyes intersected suddenly collapsed, forming a bottomless black hole, and in a flash!
With a sound of the earth burst, the sound filled the world, and the air within ten feet of the radius immediately showed invisible and quarrels of ripples.
The sandstorm dyed the entire plain into a dim illusion. The two of them had sharp eyes and were locked and attacked without any obstacles. The corner of their clothes did not move for more than half.
WānWān's graceful lip line was pulled, and a sincere and playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: Please, Evil King!
Shi Zhixuan smiled and nodded, laughing and laughing as if he was looking at his trouble-making child: Wān, don’t be polite!
Thunder sound faintly came from the other side of Fenghuáng Mountain, and the sky was flashing with light and light and darkness.
The wind became even more violent, and in an instant, the people and things in the valley were swallowed up by the wind and sand.
WānWān and his two voices never came out again
The strong Dodge could not find out the specific location of the two, because their huge and boundless mental power seemed to have been integrated into the most original and mysterious power of the universe, without distinction between them.
Boom!
A golden light of light penetrates the clouds and rainstorm sprinkles
WānWān A delicate shout, overshadowed the sky thunder, and a beautiful figure appeared five feet above Shi Zhixuan's head, slashed down with a palm
Shi Zhixuan looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes seem to penetrate the dark clouds, and deep remembrance and sorrow are emitted, and he is completely unaware of the things around him.

Li Jiancheng and his confidant generals Zhuo Li, the bow of the ship, leisurely enjoying the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River
He was wearing a light clay-yellow armor and covered with a silver cloak that was reaching the ground. He blew in the wind and had a majesty and arrogance that looked down on the world.

He is the veteran master of Li Tang, Li Yuan's cousin, and his guard leader; Li Jiancheng's left hand is his brother-in-law, and the head of the Nanhai Sect, Mei Xun; standing side by side with Mei Xun is a one-eyed middle-aged man holding a 8-foot-long Zhongguan knife.

During the Battle of Red Cliffs during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhou Yu, the Grand Governor of the Eastern Wu, used dozens of Mengchong Dou Ship, which actually poured into it with firewood and oil. After igniting, it broke into the Cao army's formation and burned the Cao army fleet in one fell swoop. It can be seen that the Mengchong Dou Ship is convenient for attacking the enemy with long-range weapons.
More than 200 other warships are smaller, mainly light and flexible boats and yachts.
When Li Jiancheng turned around, he happened to see Li Nantian frowning, so he said strangely: What are the emperor thinking?
Li Nantian said calmly: Old minister wondered whether the wars in other places have also begun at this moment?
Li Jiancheng laughed and said: Today is the best opportunity, Dou Jiande will definitely attack Hulao
Then a cold light flashed in his eyes and said: The King of Qin should also wait for an opportunity to attack the southern bank of the Great River.
But he cursed the Demon Sect in his heart: He originally planned to lead sailors out of Bashu when people were attracted to the April Magic Sect Conference. However, WānWān and others made a loud thunder and little rain. In the end, no outsiders knew where the Demon Sect Conference was held. Fortunately, there was this eye-catching Supreme Decisive Battle, otherwise Li Jiancheng might have sent troops later. If he was accidentally snatched the limelight by his two brothers, he would not have suffered a lot!
Mei Xun said coldly: The Song clan should also attack the southern portal of Bashu!
Li Jiancheng said: Mei Qing, don’t be excited. Since the Song family secretly seized Hainan Island, the hatred between us has been formed. Since we have sent troops to the Bashu border area, I believe the Song family will never succeed! I hope that today we can meet their so-called warship team that dominates the river! We can bring a large number of turbid oil produced from Bashu, and we will not be afraid of water pouring. Thank them!
Li Nantian said that they were all warriors. He sighed secretly that he had no luck to see the Supreme Demon Sect’s decisive battle. He immediately said: The prince must remember that the enemy is extremely cunning, don’t be careless
He is Li Jiancheng's cousin. Although his official position is bad, he came out this time to protect him personally and supervise him.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Li Jiancheng's eyes and he was taught: "Uncle Huang is saying it."
After a pause, he said with a flash: There are many waters in the upper reaches of the river to Yiling, and there are many beaches. From Yiling to Xiakou, there are many winding and lakes. This is the best position to attack us. After leaving Xiakou, the river surface is more than two hundred feet wide, and the water flow has slowed down. Now we only need an hour to reach Xiakou. The enemy still has not attacked, which means that our army has various advantages and opportunities, and it is difficult to lose! Big defeats small, tough defeats fragile, go against wind, go against countercurrent, go against shallow, fire, wind, jig, and iron locks. This water method is nine leaders. If you violate one of them, you will also end up with the disaster of the boat capsizing and the death of the people. I still understand it!
Everyone was speechless for a moment
A small wooden boat suddenly came in front of him, and a short man in tight leather clothes flew up from it. He came to Li Jiancheng and knelt down and said, "Reward, there were nearly a hundred fighting ships under the Song Dynasty's banner near Xiakou.
Li Jiancheng snorted coldly and ordered: It's just right, all the generals obey the orders!
Yuan Yueze came to the hidden valley in the quiet forest according to his memory
After a pause by the stream in front of the stone house, he immediately stepped on the stones rising from the stream and rushed towards the source of the deep forest behind the hut.
The jade man who has not seen him for about 1990 is not in the room
Bend the stream left and right, and go deep into the dense forest. It is suspected that the stream is over, but it suddenly becomes clear: a small waterfall that emits the sound of fairy music flows down from the gaps in the middle of the mountain, rushing on the lush valley cliff walls, and forms a small pool after reaching the bottom of the cliff, blocked by dense forests. On the other side, you can't see the unique cave here, and you can't hear the natural music of the waterfall.
Yuan Yueze just moved mechanically with his heartbeat faster and faster. He jumped to the wrong place of the old tree plate on the waterfall, and pushed the branches away and walked in.
Although the hall was pitch black, it did not affect his vision. There was a unique cave behind the dense tree at the waterfall's source: the natural cave was arranged into an elegant small hall. Although the sparrows were small, they were all equipped with all the necessary items of the family. There were all the gods engraved with the spiritual position of the ancestor Bi Shi's beautiful heart.
Just as he came in, Shi Qingxuan, who was sitting cross-legged on a soft pad next to the small table, was sitting with her eyes closed and meditating.
Yuan Yuezawa is standing in place
He shines through the stars, his deep and transparent eyes and Shi Qingxuan's clear and clear pair of calm and far-reaching eyes, as if he was inlaid with the dark night sky and the brightest stars in the beautiful eyes.
It can no longer be separated after touching it, just like a magnet, it can be sucked tightly with each other
At the same time, a strange feeling that the other person is close to him, but also seems to be invisible in the deeper realm of the universe.
They're drunk
But their spiritual senses are more transparent and clear than ever before
In an instant, cicadas and insects outside the cave chirped, the cold wind blew, the unique smell of trees, flowers and plants, the sound of the small waterfall flowing, from the universe, from the small grass and stone, each with its own victory. It is fascinating enough to make them feel the meaning behind life and enjoy this intoxicating feeling that fills the world.
When he came to his senses, Yuan Yueze found that he had sat opposite her. Shi Qingxuan, who had changed to a side-sitting position, was lighting a corner of the oil lamp.
The oil lamp lights up, and the flames illuminate Shi Qingxuan's beautiful figure in her extremely beautiful figure
Bi Xiuxin's divine position also produces a solemn and sacred smell. The flame of the oil lamp is like a medium connecting the underworld and the human world.
Shi Qingxuan wore a long lilac gown on top and an apricot yellow silk skirt on the bottom, revealing a pair of crystal-like slender feet without applying any makeup. Her face was still a faint melancholy expression, with a unique beauty of ice, snow, cold and arrogant
Because of her existence, everything around her began to become dreamy and unreal, dreamy and sweet, touching
Yuan Yueze stared straight at her beautiful face that shone with a sacred colored zodiac
Shi Qingxuan's smile widened
It turned into a bright smile that shone through the earth like the moon rising from the east mountain, dispelling her seemingly innate melancholy. After the fragrance opened, she said in a naughty voice: "Don't you see enough yet?"
Hearing her crisp and condensed sound again, as beautiful as the sound of nature, Yuan Yueze nodded mechanically
Shi Qingxuan finally couldn't stand his burning eyes, two red glows burned on his jade cheeks, and his head was slightly lowered.
In order to cover up the embarrassment, she had to lift her slender fingers to gently comb her long and shiny black hair, but she was confused and unconscious of her quiet and elegant movements and postures, which were extremely charming and could make anyone intoxicated.
Yuan Yueze stared at her deeply, and infinite passion surged in his heart, and said with a smile: I am here to pick up Qingxuan this time
His tone fell heavily on the link. Shi Qingxuan, who was smart and smart, trembled violently when she heard this, and her head hung lowered, and she was about to bury her plump and soft-breasted chest. The slender pink neck as beautiful as a swan and the red glow of crystal ears exposed her shyness. It was obvious that she was caught off guard by Yuan Yueze's excessiveness. No matter how you have a heart of mind, your sword is clear, it can't play any role.
The surroundings were quiet, and after a while, Shi Qingxuan raised her eyes. Her pretty face seemed to have a layer of sacred light, which was so beautiful that it was even more affectionate as the sea. She met him without blinking, and returned his passionate gaze, and showed the feelings in her heart unreservedly to him. It was better than thousands of words and endless love words.
Yuan Yueze didn't know who was controlling his hands and stretching forward. The next moment he had embraced the peerless enchantment of his miserable life in front of him, touching her boneless shoulders and slender waist, and her tentacles were filled with youthful vitality and elasticity, and she used all her enthusiasm to find her fragrant lips.
Shi Qingxuan's delicate body trembled violently and her fragrance became hot and soft. Her jade hand wrapped around his neck, intoxicated by the passionate kiss of the soul-aberaging bones
Looking at Shi Qingxuan who was panting in his arms, Yuan Yueze shook his mind and sighed: I almost got my soul away by you, a girl!
Shi Qingxuan was embarrassed. Seeing that this bastard was getting a bargain and was acting obedient, she immediately rewarded him with a few pink punches.
Yuan Yueze screamed exaggeratedly and said: The earth-shaking battle is about to begin. Ruo Qingxuan, everyone has no strength, I can go to watch the battle with you on my back!
Shi Qingxuan's delicate body trembled slightly, and she barely struggled to sit up. Her clothes were not in order, her hair was messy, and her face turned red from shyness suddenly turned dark. Her beautiful eyes were covered with a sad and sad look, and she said softly: Qingxuan doesn't want to see it.
Then he started to make tea with the exquisite tea set on the table and started to cook with leisurely expression.
Yuan Yueze's heart trembled. Thinking of her, she must have felt her helpless experience and was unable to control herself. She was unable to forgive Shi Zhixuan for such a rapid and complex expression change.
So he reached over, and carefully held her tender gusto tightly, his eyes were deeply focused on her beautiful eyes, and said softly: Qingxuan, don’t lie to yourself, no one can change the blood relationship between you, today is likely to be the last time you have seen him!
Shi Qingxuan's hand trembled, and half of the tea in the tea cup was sprinkled onto the silver plate. Then she raised her beautiful eyes and looked at him in confusion.
After drinking a cup of tea, Yuan Yueze explained: Qingxuan has made great progress in his cultivation over the past year, so he should be able to detect his existence? Don’t you think he is very different from before?
Shi Qingxuan's forehead frowned slightly, and several subtle and cute ripples appeared, and then shook her head.
Yuan Yueze smiled bitterly and told him about meeting Shi Zhixuan, saying: Although he concealed it very well, I can be sure that he was using Feixuan to test my feelings for Qingxuan, he might have missed it, but today's evil king is just a painful and regretful husband, a guilty and ashamed father
Shi Qingxuan's flower face turned white, and maintained his voice calm with great self-control. He said softly: You look down on him too highly. Before his death, my mother warned me that Shi Zhixuan is born with a tendency to self-destruct. He cannot tolerate perfect results. He is like what he told you. When he and my mother are drunk with love and the most happy and moving life like the blooming flowers, it is the moment when he started to kill my mother. The Great Sui Kingdom was formed by him to support Yang Jian, and he also destroyed it with one hand. This is the most terrifying part of his personality. Never have any longings or fantasies about him. Now he deliberately makes you and me hope, which is the sign that he wants to destroy everything. Including himself, he not only makes up his mind to destroy you, but also destroy me.
After a pause, he glanced at him in confusion and said: I am really curious why you misunderstood his words as that? He just wanted to destroy himself through duels, because this is his nature that cannot be compromised with his evil and conscience. Just like he destroyed his mother, and at the same time, he destroyed himself. Shi Zhixuan is not a normal person. He never knows how to master the real interest in ordinary life. Only through destruction and destruction can he satisfy his evil thoughts and souls.
Yuan Yueze shook his head helplessly. Shi Qingxuan had too much prejudice against Shi Zhixuan, but last year she took action to stop Yuan Yueze at the moment when Shi Zhixuan was dying, which made him unable to figure it out.
Shi Qingxuan's pleasant voice came into his ears again, saying: I have been reciting most of the year, and I have only been out twice. Once when Master Lu was happy to get a noble son, and once when I was on the sixth day of the sixth month of my mother's death, I realized that he was eavesdropping on the music I played for my mother in the distance. His spirit was not fluctuating. This is exactly the sign that he was completely possessed and had no flaws. The decisive battle may be for self-destruction, or perhaps he wanted to destroy everything after victory! This is also the reason why he chose the decisive battle on the Ghost Festival.
Her tone was as plain as water, as if nothing in the world had changed suddenly, which could cause ripples in the heart.
Yuan Yueze didn't know what to say. Shi Zhixuan was indeed cruel and ruthless, but he didn't believe that the Evil King could give up his deep affection for Bi Xiuxin and his father-daughter relationship with Shi Qingxuan.
This is purely an intuition, no reason is needed, and no reason is found
Sighing, he said helplessly: Then I'll ask Qingxuan to accompany me to watch the battle?
Shi Qingxuan looked at him in shock for a while before flattening her beautiful cherry lips and nodding slightly
The clouds are bleak, covering the sky and the sun, adding to the feeling of coldness and loneliness
Thunderstorm is coming
Yuan Yueze was led by Shi Qingxuan to a hill about half a mile away from the battlefield.
In addition to Hou Xibai who stood with Zhu Yuyan, and An Long who was a little farther away, there were also Sanren Ning Daoqi and the fourth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Master Daoxin, and a middle-aged nun with no expression.
After nodding to Ning Daoqi and Daoxin, the two came to Zhu Yuyan's side. Shi Qingxuan nodded calmly and said hello. Zhu Yuyan was not at all displeased. After returning the gifts with Hou Xibai, the four of them looked at the place of decisive battle together.
The distance of half a mile is almost negligible for these spectators
The open and wide plain is located in the center of a valley, surrounded by cliffs and rugged rocks. A waterfall rushes from the cliff in front of it and pours into a clear pond, stirring up endless splashes of water. It is imposing. The sound of the thunderous waterfall can be heard far and near.
White clothes are better than snow, and barefoot under the skirt, sitting cross-legged by the lake with her eyes closed, her expression calm and peaceful. Her breath is like the sky and water, as if it has merged with all the laws of nature, the world and the universe, and it is even more unfathomable in peace.
WānWān suddenly moved, she first changed from sitting to standing, and then slowly rose, completely contrary to the natural routine
An Long, not far away, shouted excitedly: Brother Shi is here!
A small black dot gradually became clear from a distance, and it was the evil king Shi Zhixuan who could do anything to him.
He was wearing a long Confucian dress and walked forward with his hands in his arms. He was calm and enjoyed the scenery. His eyes were sometimes deep and sometimes hot. With his tall and straight figure, his elegant and beautiful stance actually gave birth to a strange temperament that coexists with elegance and evil, which was intimidating.
Shi Qingxuan couldn't help but grab Yuan Yueze's arm, trembling slightly
Through her own eyes, her bright sword heart also noticed the difference between Shi Zhixuan and the past
Thousands of steps away, Shi Zhixuan walked by leisurely, as if it was slow and fast, full of inexplicable feelings
WānWān completely stood up when Shi Zhixuan came to her ten feet in front of her, and then opened her beautiful eyes.
Her pair of charming eyes lit up the strange blue light, touching Shi Zhixuan, who had just admired the surrounding scenery and turned around, was as cold as ice and snow, and her fierce eyes with a little longing in her eyes.
A strong gust of wind suddenly blew up, dark clouds covered the sky and dark for a moment
The strong wind blows harder and harder, making a sharp whistling sound like a ghost crying, rolling up the sand and dust on the hills flying all over the sky and sprinkling on the plains; the waves in the clear pond are surging, like the sea water at high tide, rushing towards the lake bed, making a shocking sound
At the same time, the middle space where the two people's eyes intersected suddenly collapsed, forming a bottomless black hole, and in a flash!
With a sound of the earth burst, the sound filled the world, and the air within ten feet of the radius immediately showed invisible and quarrels of ripples.
The sandstorm dyed the entire plain into a dim illusion. The two of them had sharp eyes and were locked and attacked without any obstacles. The corner of their clothes did not move for more than half.
WānWān's graceful lip line was pulled, and a sincere and playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: Please, Evil King!
Shi Zhixuan smiled and nodded, laughing and laughing as if he was looking at his trouble-making child: Wān, don’t be polite!
Thunder sound faintly came from the other side of Fenghuáng Mountain, and the sky was flashing with light and light and darkness.
The wind became even more violent, and in an instant, the people and things in the valley were swallowed up by the wind and sand.
WānWān and his two voices never came out again
The strong Dodge could not find out the specific location of the two, because their huge and boundless mental power seemed to have been integrated into the most original and mysterious power of the universe, without distinction between them.
Boom!
A golden light of light penetrates the clouds and rainstorm sprinkles
WānWān A delicate shout, overshadowed the sky thunder, and a beautiful figure appeared five feet above Shi Zhixuan's head, slashed down with a palm
Shi Zhixuan looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes seem to penetrate the dark clouds, and deep remembrance and sorrow are emitted, and he is completely unaware of the things around him.
