Chapter 278 The Jinling Palace is a guest


Su Hanshan spent more than half an hour, step by step, to break through Heitoutuo's instinctive vigilance.

I asked about important secrets from unimportant places, such as the secret method of Heitoutuo's own master, and the backers behind these three villages, etc., and interrogated everything I wanted to know.

Then he settled the account with Toutuo with a snap of his fingers, and he sat on the Toutuo Ridge and started practicing.

In two days and three nights, he extracted the essence from the medicinal materials on Toutuo Ridge and mixed it with a lot of golden elixir wine to drink, which made the child's body full of energy and blood. The meridians are tough.

It was also through this process that Su Hanshan gained a deep grasp of the vitality of each part of the body. Based on his original experience, he made some fine adjustments suitable for this body and prepared to temper the ladder.

As expected, it was unsuccessful.

When a slight injury appeared on the tail vertebra, he decisively stopped this step.

This is enough to show that the normal Xuan Gong breathing technique cannot grasp the invisible demons inherent in this body, as if the demonic energy really does not exist.

However, when this body wants to evolve to a higher level, it will fail because of the lack of understanding of those invisible demons.

Su Hanshan has thought about whether he should rely on the subtle flaws he feels to infer the existence of the demons in his body.

But after a moment's thought, he discovered that the workload involved was immeasurably huge.

Seventy-two kinds of seduction magic. Judging from the results, the amount of information is actually not very large.

However, any one of these methods of seducing demons, how to elucidate the source, how to add and delete details, and when it was slowly worked out in history, the painstaking efforts and wisdom expended would probably be enough to fill 10,000 library books. .

Su Hanshan is asking for trouble if he wants to complete these processes by himself.

It’s also because he loves martial arts so much that he was obsessed with it for a while, so he became interested in overestimating his abilities and getting to the bottom of things.

But for now, it is more convenient to directly copy the results that have been explored by local civilizations.

“Let’s start with the hanging volcano lure magic.”

Su Hanshan calmed down and used his white fingers to repeatedly poke a few acupuncture points from his lower abdomen to his neck. , shoulders, waist, forehead.

Each set of techniques to seduce demons naturally has a corresponding boxing technique, and it also pays attention to what kind of state it needs to be practiced to.

Su Hanshan can directly use his spirit to transport qi and blood and stimulate acupuncture points, so that he can practice the boxing to the corresponding level, and then suddenly close his eyes.

It's ice and snow here, and it's Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, so there are no volcanoes at all.

However, the illusion created by Su Hanshan's spiritual visualization is no different from a real volcano to this child's body.

He has seen the volcanic magma gas in Changle Mountain House in Xueling County, and has studied some of the mysteries of Situ Yuntao's Holy Scripture of Earth Fire Roar.

The illusion created at this time even has a strong smell of sulfur smoke, which can float down the mountain with the wind.

In the center of Toutuoling Camp, this large area was razed to the ground. In the following days, the scenery changed even more strangely.

Sometimes the red light is surging, as if you are inside a volcano, sometimes the wind is howling, as if you are under a winter cliff, and sometimes the blue waves are surging, rippling back and forth, as if you are drowning all living things.

Su Hanshan felt something in his heart and gradually captured some corresponding demonic energy.

In Zijin Mountain, the other two people from the village had not seen anyone from Toutuo Ridge moving around during this period. They thought there was something fishy, ​​so they sent people over to investigate.

The spies were frightened when they saw so many dead gangsters on the mountain road and in the camp. They were even more horrified when they discovered the unusual scenery on the top of the mountain.

The lovely child in Yuxue, sitting cross-legged on the yellow cloth, standing still among the water, fire, wind and smoke, should have looked like a complete fairy child.

However, the contrast with the mountain of corpses made this scene look completely weird and strange.

Especially the water, fire, wind and smoke, sometimes inadvertently change, and show the appearance of ghosts crying and wolf howling. It seems that there are thousands of things that are tortured by illness, looking like humans but not humans, like ghosts but not ghosts, wandering inside.

Those bandit spies who usually boasted about their cruel methods and liked to be nicknamed "Beasts and Fierce Ghosts" and were proud of them all turned pale with fear and fled in a hurry.

Of course they didn’t know that when they escaped, the child on the top of the mountain had already opened his eyes.

The blue luster in Su Hanshan's eyes flickered slightly, and the extremely secret Xuanyin Sword Plague mark had been left on the spies just now by using the golden elixir to inert vitality.

Since running the Five Thunder Dreamland, his Xuanyin Sword Plague, in addition to torturing the cursed person, has additional functions of eavesdropping and locating.

After he learned the secrets of demon-conquering martial arts, he felt a great desire in his heart. After hearing the news about Heitoutuo, he made a rough plan.

On Toutuo Ridge, we have been upright and lingering these days. It can also be said that we did it on purpose.

Unconsciously, the spies returned to their respective villages and reported the total destruction of Toutuo Ridge.

The two village leaders were also shocked. They left the village in person, came to observe the situation on Toutuo Ridge from a distance, and then led people straight to Jinling City.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Xiong Shang of Chu Wei built Jinling City in Stone City, and the name Jinling originated from this.

Later during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, Sun Quan of Soochow Wu established his capital here. From then on, the beautiful land of Jiangnan and the imperial state of Jinling began to rise.

The Song, Qi, Liang and Chen in the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties also established their capitals here one after another, so it is also known as the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties".

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, this place was entrusted to the Cao family. After more than a hundred years of operation, the Cao family's mansion, the king of Jinling, has become the most magnificent building in the center of Jinling City.

The two stone lions in front of the palace, each weighing 50,000 kilograms, have vivid eyes, paws and teeth, and are majestic. They are not at all like the naive, round-headed and fat lions in front of the palace. .

All pedestrians, when passing by on this long and wide street in front of the door, will feel that they are being condescended to by two giant beasts, with insight into the body and mind, and they will not even dare to breathe.

The red lacquer door with copper nails is heavy and solid. It usually takes eight strong men to open and close it. The tall and thick wall can be used for people to walk and patrol. There are many tall buildings in the four corners of the palace, which can overlook the inside and outside.

In the southwest corner of the palace, there is a spacious martial arts field.

This is the afternoon, the time when Yang Qi is at its strongest in the day. Even in winter, people feel a bit hot when they move around.

Cao Ying, the crown prince of Jinling, stood in the martial arts arena, holding a six-foot bow in his hand. He clasped the bowstring with his jade fingers and slowly pulled it back.

Just a bow, no arrows.

When he loosened his fingers, the bowstring bounced back with a bang.

It is a taboo to draw a strong bow empty.

Without arrows to withstand the force, the bow string can easily injure the back of the bow as it swings. If you pull it a few times, even a heirloom bow with a copper body and an iron arm will be broken on the spot.

If he is hit by a broken bow back, he may kill the person pulling the bow.

But Cao Ying fired it once, and the big bow in his hand was not damaged at all.

Because he didn't really leave it empty, but had a little flour on his finger.

The arrow he shot was just a handful of powder.

The power of the strong bow was concentrated on the powder, causing the handful of flour to break through the air and hit the stainless steel arrow target a hundred steps away.

The white powder penetrated deeply into the silver steel and could not be wiped off no matter how hard you wiped it with your hands.

"Without the aid of skill, just relying on the attainment of the arrow path, the guidance of the power, and the precision of the control, the power of a strong bow can be fully exerted on a handful of powder."

A man wearing a hat next to him Black Hat, a muscular man in brocade clothes in his forties, clapped his hands in admiration.

"Although the young prince is still in the realm of subduing demons, with this skill, even ten people in the martial arts world who have the same skill as you are definitely no match for you."

He is like this. It's not a compliment, it's just the truth.

The power of the physical body is always much bulkier than the power of internal strength.

But if you only rely on the most ordinary strength of the body, you can direct the power of the bow to gather powder, and do such a thing that goes against common sense.

Once Cao Ying fought with others and used his internal strength, it would be impossible for others with the same skill to withstand such concentrated arrow power.

"Hahaha, Mr. Feng is ridiculous."

Cao Ying was also a little proud, "Mr. Feng thinks, with my archery skills, if I hold the Winged Saint handed down from my ancestors, Tian Gong, can you compete with Lu Xingxian? "

This Mr. Feng is a Lu Xingxian himself, very famous in the world, and is known as the Crystal Demon Feng Kun, the leader of the Tianxian Sect.

Cao Hong, King of Jinling, also spent a lot of effort to invite him to the palace and hire him as a guest minister.

Although Feng Kun wanted to be friends with Cao Ying, he didn't really need to deliberately flatter him.

"Within three moves, we may be able to compete."

He thought for a moment and said pertinently, "Within three moves, the young prince will be very dangerous."

“However, if it is two Lu Xing The immortals were fighting, and the young prince suddenly attacked from the side and fired an arrow. Even if it was Lu Xingxian, he would probably be killed." Cao Ying said happily: "Sir, it is true. My brother-in-law said the same when he evaluated my archery skills. .”

Cao Ying's eldest sister, the eldest daughter of Jinling King Cao Hong, was married to Su Yan, the governor of the Jianghuai River. She was also an important official of the party, commanded a large army, had advanced cultivation, and was well-known in the south of the Yangtze River.

While the two were talking and laughing, a guard in the palace, wearing a copper-colored robe and a scimitar hanging on his waist, walked over quickly to report that a visitor had arrived at Purple Mountain.

Cao Ying and Feng Kun moved into the living room together and saw an old man with five long beards and a one-eyed woman, each with a few followers waiting in the hall.

It is Mr. Tiexu, the leader of Xiaomao Village, and Shanmu Shengu, the leader of Tianbao Village.

"Why did you two enter the city in person?"

Cao Ying motioned for everyone to serve tea, chuckled, and said, "Could it be the reward from the past few days? Is there any shortcomings? Send a carrier pigeon and let me know. That’s good.”

The two people looked at each other. Although they had not discussed it, they roughly knew what the other party was thinking.

Since that child-like monster could destroy Toutuo Ridge, he could naturally destroy their two cottages.

They entered the city in person, not so much to report in person to show caution, but rather to escape from the mountain to feel more at ease.

Mr. Tiexu coughed dryly and said bluntly: "Little prince, Toutuo Ridge has been destroyed!"

Cao Ying's hand holding the tea paused, his smile disappeared, his eyes swept away, and his face darkened: "Why? What's going on? Please tell me in detail."

Mr. Tiexu told what he knew.

"So, you don't even know when Toutuo Ridge was destroyed?"

Cao Ying took a deep breath, then realized that she forgot to put down the tea cup, and raised her fingers He took it and crushed the tea cup directly. The tea inside was also vaporized by him, and the hot air flew out.

"How much money have the thousands of elite soldiers in Toutuo Ridge eaten over the years, and are just gone?"

"Heitutuo is even a disciple of Kunlun. I specially invited him here to leave a foreshadowing for the future. He takes the lead General, I want to establish a line with Kunlun Zhengzong and Xixia, but now it is ruined!"

There are many forces under the command of the Jinling Palace, but these three cottages in Zijin Mountain are the returned prince Cao Ying! Handled by one hand.

Cao Yinghua was thinking the most about this aspect. When she heard the bad news, she felt her blood surge and her face turned red.

"Young prince, please be patient."

Feng Kun said at this time, "According to your description, that person must be a Lu Xingxian-level figure. After destroying Toutuo Ridge, he just stayed there to practice without any further actions."

"This It didn't look like he was deliberately trying to embarrass the Jinling Palace. Maybe he was passing by there. Look at the Toutuo Ridge. The Diqi Mountain Village has been well built in recent years. The person in front of you is dead, so you can practice the method yourself."

Cao Ying snorted: "It's easy!"

"Yes, people in the evil way always behave like this. The style of doing things."

Feng Kun said with a smile, "It is said that good fortune lies in the presence of misfortune, and misfortune lies in the fate of good fortune. This is not necessarily a bad thing."

"If this person could be recruited into the Jinling Palace, wouldn't it be much more useful than a Toutuoling cottage?"

Cao Ying paused, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Feng, are you sure?"

“Someone Feng is willing to give it a try.”

Feng Kun said, “But I don’t know yet. What is the specific temperament of this person? If there is any dispute, he may not be able to take care of others. The young prince is rich and cannot come with me rashly. It is safe to stay here with the protection of the entire palace and the company of Brother Zhu. "< br>
Cao Ying nodded and said: "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Feng."

Feng Kun didn't say much, and walked out in a few steps. With a flash of purple light, the figure disappeared through the air.

Cao Ying looked at Mr. Tiexu and Single-Eyed Goddess, and whispered: "You two knew the danger and went to the city to escape in person, but what did you do with the elite soldiers and horses under your hands?"

Cold sweat broke out on the backs of the two men.

"Forget it, you two were quite envious of Heitutuo in the past. Seeing that he was dead, you felt a little bit lost, which is understandable."

Cao Ying He stood up and said, "Follow me."

The three of them left the living room, turned along several corridors, and entered a courtyard.

In the courtyard, I could see orioles singing and singing, beauties dancing, fresh fruits and melons from all over the world, rare birds and fairy grass, piled randomly among the grass in the corner, discarded like worn-out shoes.

The ancient Wine Pond and Meat Forest seemed crude and crude compared with this place.

But all of this is not a place for Cao Ying to enjoy himself, but to support an old man with a face as old as the moon and a white beard.

The King of Jinling had long wanted to rebel. Not only did he collect large sums of money to raise soldiers and horses privately, but he also had close contacts with the governor of Jianghuai and cultivated his own power in the officialdom of Jiangnan.

However, he still feels that his strength needs to be accumulated, and he is planning to take action at least ten years later.

Unexpectedly, not long ago, Jinling deputy general Niu Guocheng actually wanted to inform the court. When the letter he sent was intercepted, his family had already fled.

Niu Guocheng himself is nothing, but his actions aroused deep suspicion in Cao Hong. He wondered how many people in Jiangnan's officialdom now seemed to have been won over by him and who were respectful to him on weekdays. Secretly, I still have two thoughts.

So, he made a special trip to the Jianghuai Governor's Mansion. He wanted to explore the army with Su Yan first and completely control this Jianghuai army.

Nowadays, Cao Ying is mainly in charge of the Jinling Palace, assisted by two guest ministers.

Except for the crystal human demon Feng Kun, the leader of the Tianxian Sect.

The other person is Zhu Liang, the "Flying Sword Immortal" of Yinxian Village in Panshe Valley.

Different from Feng Kun, who is ambitious and in charge of a force.

This Flying Sword Immortal Zhu Liang was originally a reclusive man. He was nearly a hundred years old. When he was young, he was the top martial arts scholar of the Song Dynasty and sat in the position of the chief military officer. In order to meditate and break through, He just hung up his seal and left without any intention of rebellion.

But he had a direct disciple who, while traveling around the world, became a flower-picking thief and got mixed up with the followers recruited by the King of Jinling. Because he was not taken seriously, he thought of recommending his master.

Zhu Liang was a little reluctant at first, but King Jinling spent a lot of money, collecting poems, calligraphy and paintings from famous people, and chatting about everything, which aroused Zhu Liang's desire for fame and fortune.

Lu Xingxian has a lifespan of three to four hundred years. Although Zhu Liang looks like an old man, in fact, he can be considered young and strong.

When he was used to living in seclusion, he did not feel that he was poor. Once he was invited out by the King of Jinling, he came to the city of Jinling and enjoyed everything. Several major issues have been resolved, which are considered to be firmly tied to this ship.

Cao Ying met Zhu Liang, exchanged a few words, and then got down to business.

“I asked the old man to forge the two magic swords. I wonder if they are finished?”

Zhu Liang leaned on the brocade throne and smiled when he heard this: "It's a coincidence that the young prince came here. It happened to be successful yesterday evening."

He waved his hand and ordered his flower-picking apprentice to go to the room to pick up the flowers. Come out with two swords.

The two swords are long and short. The long skull swallows the mouth and is white and dazzling with cold light. The short one is azure, and the blue is dazzling.

Cao Ying said that these are the two magic tools that he has asked for again and again and made for Mr. Tiexu and the Single-Eyed Goddess.

With these two magical artifacts, their abilities may not be inferior to those of Heitoutuo.

Although Heituo Tuo is dead now and the two of them are not doing things properly, these two magical weapons are still given to them in consideration of their many years of hard work.

The two of them each got the sword, and they felt that it was vaguely connected to their own skills. They were overjoyed. When they heard such words, they felt even more ashamed and vowed to repay the young prince.

While master and slave were deeply in love and showing their loyalty and ambition, a light voice came from the sky.

“It’s so good that I don’t remember my mistakes, reward my old ministers, repent, and serve my young master. I can’t bear to do anything...”

On a sunny day, the pure white clouds Between the flowers, a piece of withered yellow fell down quickly.

Flying Sword Immortal Zhu Liang suddenly stood up and looked up at the sky, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

There is a little doll carved in pink and jade, standing on the yellow cloth, looking down, showing an innocent smile.

"Then I'll do it!"

He smiled, and the moment he opened his mouth, the sky above the Jinling Palace flickered with light and darkness.

The magnetic field oscillates and the colored light surges, forming a huge face that crushes down from above.

The child's facial features, on that hundred-foot-sized colorful face, looked extremely terrifying.

The child's words turned into roaring thunder, and he bit the two village masters who had just obtained the swords.
