Just as the emperor of Daqian, temple officials and ordinary people celebrated for the victory of Southern Xinjiang, Qiu lie, the commander of the lion army rescued by his son Qiu Ao, was chased by the southern army of Daqian town. He had no choice but to enter the forbidden area of the mainland from the southwest of xiyuanze. At this time, there were only a hundred riders left beside Qiu lie and Qiu Ao.
Xiaoqingshan is a cemetery specially prepared by Lu que for the wild lion army. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and it is relatively flat, which is most conducive to cavalry raids. The army of zhennanguan, which is going south this time, has 50000 heavy Armored Cavalry. As the most elite heavy Armored Cavalry of Daqian, the momentum created by the surging of 50000 heavy armored beasts is not weaker than that of hundreds of thousands of troops.
At the foot of xiaoqingshan, Zhennan pass army and crazy lion army encounter. Daqian takes advantage of the terrain and has the most powerful weapon in the whole Qingmu continent. Even the famous star commander Qiu lie can't do anything about it. He is not wronged for his defeat.
"It's Qiu lie and Qiu Ao." Gu Qingcheng's eyesight is better than Lu que's. after carefully distinguishing for a while, he can see his identity. Such a long distance does not allow Gu Qingcheng to see the faces of people in the distance carefully, but Tianxing and Daqian are the same. There are strict ranks in the army, and there are clear regulations on what kind of armor can be worn for any military position.
"It seems that they should be defeated in xiyuanze. Since Qiu lie appears here, it means that the battle of xiaoqingshan outside has been finished, but why?" Lu que frowned and looked puzzled.
"What, why?" Gu Qingcheng asked.
"We only have a few hours to go into the pure land of Lianhua, but why is the battle of xiaoqingshan over? Is it that several hours in the pure land of Lianhua have passed for several days?"
When Gu Qingcheng heard this, he thought, "there are some records in the past. For example, at the end of Da Xuan's reign, a pregnant lady came to a small town at the foot of the mountain to avoid the war. She and her maid made a living by weaving. One day, the lady wanted to eat mushrooms. After the rain, the master and servant went into the mountain to pick them. When they came out of the mountain, they were already in the reign of Emperor Taizong of Da Qian, Hundreds of years later, they are still in their twenties. They don't know what happened
"I've also seen this story in the book. That lady's child was born a few months after she came out, which is the name of Xiangbu Shenglian, a generation later in the reign of Emperor Wen." Lu nodded his head. Such a thing is not unique in the past historical data. Even some robbers who are looking for a breakthrough have gone out of their way to find out the secret and see if they can help break through the existing realm. But every time, they are disappointed. Such a magical thing has never happened again.
"However, we have to know how many days have passed in this xiyuanze, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to get out of here." Lu said again.
"Can you work it out?" Gu Qingcheng asked eagerly. Although she is not very proficient in the way of array, she also knows that this kind of natural array needs the coordination of time and place. Most of the arrays operate according to the time of day, or the twelfth hour, or the solar term of the fourth hour, or the rotation of the star que. If the time can not be determined, even if she and Lu Kui get to the center of xiyuanze, they can understand the whole terrain of xiyuanze, It is also impossible to calculate the location and opening time of the birth gate.
"It should be, but it will take time." Lu que thought about it and nodded.
"Let's go, Qiu lie. They are not too far away from us. There are many of them. If they come after us, we and Bai Xia are not their opponents." Gu Qingcheng looks back and finds that they are more than ten miles away from each other. Qiu lie and others, who are separated by a mist, seem to find them. They are chasing them in the direction of the two.
"Don't worry about them. Except Qiu lie, they should not insist on coming to us, and even Qiu lie may not be Baixia's opponent when he comes to us." Lu Xuhun glances at Qiu lie and other people's direction, and then looks to the deep of xiyuanze.
After living in bugui mountain for 12 years and traveling all over the eight peaks and ten valleys, few people in the world know the power of the miasma better than Lu que, except for the heaven level spirit beast in the nine forbidden areas and the god beast like Xiaobai. Even Qiu lie, the fierce lion battle commander in Lingtai realm, can't withstand the attack of the miasma in the forbidden area.
Lu que looked at the landform around him and deduced the whole formation in his heart. According to his calculation, the heaven and earth forbidden formation in xiyuanze should be divided into nine layers, eight of which are Ming and one is Yin. Where he and Gu Qingcheng are now, they should be in the third layer of the formation, while Qiu lie's is in the first layer, which seems to be not far away from each other. However, Qiu lie and they can't catch up with each other without half a day.
"Lu que, is this miasma so severe that even Qiu lie can't resist it?" Gu Qingcheng didn't want to disturb Lu que, but when he saw that more than 100 cavalry led by Qiu lie and Qiu Ao suddenly abandoned their horses and kept approaching them, he was still a little flustered. Qiu lie was the realm of Lingtai. Even if she joined hands with the white wolf king, she might not be Qiu lie's opponent.
"Sister Qingcheng, if you have green wood leaves to protect your body, you can't feel anything. Such a Jedi is just a little worse for other creatures in the world, and the others are no different. Moreover, the instinct of the creatures in the world to seek good fortune and avoid evil is much stronger than that of the Terrans. They are born to know how to survive in this miasma, but for the Terrans, the Jedi are not so friendly. " He said that he took out a piece of dry cake from his waist bag, tore off a piece and put it back.
"Sister Qingcheng, look." Lu que put the small piece of dry cake on the ground. When Lu Que's hand left, this small piece of dry cake lost the protection of the green wood. It dried and rotted at the speed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned into a pile of small black dust. A gust of wind blew, and the small pile of black dust was blown up by the wind and slowly dissipated between the sky and the earth.
"This ~ this is ~" Gu Qingcheng gaped at what happened in front of him.
Lu Que's eyes also shrunk when he looked at the direction of dust dissipation, because he found that the power of decay here seemed to be much stronger than that of the place on the edge of eight peaks and ten valleys“ This is the power of decay. If we don't have the power of green wood to protect us, we will soon grow old and die. We can't even keep our bones. We will also turn into dust and disperse between heaven and earth. This xiyuanze is known as one of the top ten Jedi. We have been here for such a long time. Didn't sister Qingcheng find that there is no skeleton here, not even the animal's remains? "
"So it is." Gu Qingcheng nodded clearly. After all, there is a limit to the life span of human beings. The life span of blood orifices is at most 120 years, the life span of Yuqi is 240 years, and the life span of Lingtai is 360 years. This is the life span that can be achieved by connecting all the blood orifices, air holes, and God. Even if a person reaches the twelfth grade of Lingtai peak, as long as he can't enter the realm of catastrophe, It's rare to live beyond 300 years old.
Although Qiu lie is a strong man in Lingtai realm, he is still famous for his military exploits in Tianxing northern realm for more than ten years, rather than his martial arts accomplishments. If he doesn't have a treasure that can resist the miasma of xiyuanze, even if he is a strong man in Lingtai, he won't last long.
Lu que, with his driving staff, tried to find out the firmness of the swamp at his feet, and deduced the array operation according to the subtle changes of the surrounding topography. About half an hour later, Lu que stopped suddenly.
If he is right, the place where they enter xiyuanze should be the outermost first floor. Because the first floor is the outermost edge, there is no danger except miasma. As long as they go forward, they can enter the second floor. The place where the previous stone tablet was located should be the junction of the second floor and the third floor. Now, the place where they stand, It should be the junction of the third floor and the fourth floor.
It's just that Lu que hasn't yet fully promoted the operation mode of the whole heaven and earth forbidden array. Even if he knows that the fourth level is just a few steps ahead, he doesn't dare to do it easily, because his mentor Bai Lijia once told him that some arrays don't seem to be particularly dangerous, and it seems that they are the right way to go, but only one step is wrong, However, they can never find the right way to live. They can only go to a seemingly infinite approach, but they can never escape. In the end, they can only live and die.
"Why don't you go? Is there any danger ahead? " Gu Qingcheng looks at Lu que who stops suddenly in surprise.
Lu que smiles and shakes his head. He looks at the white wolf king who has been silent since he came out of Lianhua's pure land. "Bai Xia, which direction do you think we should go?"
Even if Lu que is naturally sensitive to breath, even if Gu Qingcheng has entered the realm of Qi control since he was only 18 years old, their sense of crisis can not compare with the white wolf king of spirit beast level. Now, because they don't know how many days have passed since they entered Lianhua pure land, Lu que can't judge which direction is the right path.
"Ouch." With a low roar, the white wolf king straightened up and looked around. He found a dry place to lie down. He took a look at Gu Qingcheng and closed his eyes.
"Bai Xia said that if we go further in this period of time, we will encounter danger, and we will have to wait for some time." Gu Qingcheng and the white wolf king signed a spirit beast contract, can be said to be heart to heart, naturally can feel the white wolf king's idea.
"All right." Lu nodded. He just felt that something was wrong, so he didn't move on. Now the reaction of the white wolf king confirmed what he thought. He also went to the white wolf king and found a clean place to sit down. Gu Qingcheng turned back and looked behind him. At this time, Qiu lie and Qiu Ao had gone to the mysterious stone tablet.
"Father Shuai, what shall we do?" Go to Qiu Ao beside the stone tablet, take off his armor, and gasp to look at Qiu lie. After walking for a while, he felt that the power in his body seemed to be emptied by something. Now the armor that he usually wears on his body like nothing has become a heavy burden.
"It's a pity that there is no way out here. The big army forces us here to survive and die on our own." There was a trace of indignation in Qiu lie's eyes. He was very dissatisfied with his defeat. He believed that if the two armies really fought each other, even if Daqian sent out Lu Chun, he would not lose so miserably.
In addition to the main force stationed in Danshui defense line to guard against Daqian, the rest of the army are stationed in the north of Tianxing. Qiu lie is confident that with this defense line which has been operated for more than ten years, he can stop any of Daqian's legions.
However, an official in China sent him and his army to return to China, and his son-in-law, the three princes, wrote one after another to analyze the power of the imperial court and asked him to return home. Even if Qiu lie didn't want to, he could only obey the king's orders. He knew that it would take time to gather forces from all over the country. He was also afraid that the garrison Legion in Nanguan of Daqian town would find out that the mad lion Legion was chasing after him with a tail. He also left his eldest son Qiu Ao to lead the 20000 troops to ambush in Jiguan mountain.
But when he gathered up his forces and wanted to speed up his return to China, he met Lu que, who was only 15 years old. After the first battle of Danshui, all the rear troops he arranged were destroyed. Later, Lu que used a heart stirring strategy to send his son Qiu Ao to yanlingyuan, breaking a gap in his original plan, and then the first battle of Hexing plain, All the former cavalry he sent to guard the Huangyan River were killed by Lu que.
So that the original smooth way back to the country has become a vast ocean of water, can only detour forward. Just when he personally forced Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng, two new generation of Daqian, into xiyuanze, and thought that he had broken Daqian's future stronghold, his mad lion army and Daqian's southward army met at the foot of xiaoqingshan. In the open terrain, fifty thousand running thunder riders were almost indestructible artifact, even if he was in command, But it can't stop the attack like a tsunami.
When the temporary formation was repeatedly pierced by the running thunder and heavy riding, the failure was inevitable. At this time, Qiu liecai reflected that all these were the plans of the 15-year-old boy, and the timing, location, and people of the whole battle were in his hands in advance. If Qiu Ao didn't rush back from yanlingyuan and fight to death, maybe Qiu lie's last choice would be to commit suicide.
Looking at the two figures who seemed to sit down and rest in the distance, Qiu lie felt a great deal of emotion. Daqian was a place of great wealth. Outstanding people of all ages emerged one after another. Lu Chun, the famous commander of the previous generation, had already overwhelmed all the war commanders of his time. Unexpectedly, after Lu Chun, his son was no worse than his father. You know, this young man named Lu que, Now I'm only 15 years old.
Thinking of this, Qiu lie could not help showing a smile on his lips. Even he did not know whether the smile was happy or bitter. As a celestial being and an important figure in the celestial Dynasty, Qiu lie was naturally more aware of the danger of this fate than ordinary people.
Now they, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng are all trapped in this desperate situation. It can be said that they have no life but death. It's worth it to think that they, the defeated general, can drag the most potential future marshal of Da Qian to die together. After all, Qiu lie is a rare General of Tianxing. It's bitter to think that he has such an idea and that he can't defeat the young man himself in the battlefield.
As a soldier who has been fighting for more than ten years, Qiu lie knows very well what kind of pressure the appearance of a generation of famous generals in Daqian will put on small countries like Tianxing and Nanli. When Lu Chun was born, the famous Qingyang empire was swept into the dust of history by Lu Chun. At that time, Tianxing Dynasty was terrified, for fear that Lu Chun would lead his army to the south. Now, like his father, Lu que, a young man, is an outstanding military genius. Even his potential is more terrifying than Lu Chun's.
"It's the last thing Qiu lie did to Tianxing that he can use this method to destroy the future pillars of Da Qian." Qiu lie looked at the faint figure in the distance and murmured.
"Father Shuai, what do you say?" Because Qiu lie's voice was too small, Qiu Ao didn't hear it clearly.
"Nothing." Qiu Li shook his head and looked at Qiu Ao, who was ten years old. A trace of pain flashed in his eyes. He knew why. He also knew that no matter his son or the only remaining soldier under his command, he would not last long in this fate.
Moreover, he also knew that even his current cultivation would sooner or later die under the omnipresent miasma and eventually turn into dust. At this time, Qiu lie suddenly had an impulse. He wanted to see the young man who had calculated all his thoughts. He wanted to have a good chat with him at the last time of his life.
Thinking of this, Qiu lie suddenly stood up, breathed out, and cried out, "Lu que, I'm Qiu lie, the commander of the crazy Lion War. Can I have a moment?"
"Father, what are you doing?" Qiu Ao was startled and looked at his father who was like a lion in his heart.
"I want to see him. Ao'er, although Lu que is young, he is one of the few outstanding people since ancient times. It's worthwhile for you and my father and son to die together with such people. " Qiu lie looks at the direction of Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng, and his eyes are shining. At this time, he seems to have become the famous star Marshal again, rather than the decadent general.
Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng also heard Qiu lie's words, and they both looked at each other.
"Qiu lie deceived us in this way, but he didn't know what he thought." Gu Qingcheng didn't say well.
"There is no intention to kill in his voice. The so-called death is good. Maybe he just wants to see us."
"Lu que, you don't want to pass."
"If the gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, we can't fight Qiu lie at this time. Since he wants to see us, let him come by himself." Lu que laughs and says in a loud voice to the distance, "Qiu Shuai, the younger Lu que, is waiting for Qiu Shuai."
"Ha ha, OK, I'll go."
