Chapter 373 The Two Women Caught
Xiangming City is located on the chokepoint of Gyeonggi.
The city is surrounded by the steep Black Rock Ridge to the north, the rapid White Water River to the south, and the east and west sides are covered by dense forests, forming a natural defensive barrier.
It is not only an important commercial and trade hub, but also a strategic military location.
Because it is only a few hundred miles away from the capital, it is easy to quickly gather forces to launch an attack once there is a situation in the capital. Secondly, starting from Xiangming and going north, you can use the complex terrain of Heishiling to hide your whereabouts and carry out surprise attacks.
Although the Baishui River is difficult to cross directly, it can still become one of the marching routes in certain seasons or through secret passages.
More importantly, the city is rich in supplies and can support a long siege.
It stands to reason that such an important and dangerous place, whether it is the new emperor Zhou Xun or the prince Zhou Min, will seize it as soon as possible.
However, what was surprising was that before both parties could implement their plan, a rebel army suddenly appeared out of nowhere and quickly took control of Xiangming City and the surrounding areas.
Under the guise of Qingjun, this rebel army marched towards the capital.
The war descended into chaos.
The leader supported by the rebels is named Zhou Zhifan. He is a member of the continental royal family. He is only sixteen years old. His grandfather was a vassal king who was sent to a remote area in the past.
Like other young masters from wealthy families, this little vassal king spends his days idle and wandering around, a typical playboy.
So he suddenly raised troops, which no one expected.
However, as the intelligence deepened, everyone realized that the little vassal king was actually just a puppet, and there was a more powerful figure behind the scenes controlling everything.
As for who this character is, there is no accurate guess yet.
......
At this moment, a small courtyard in Xiangming City was brightly lit.
From time to time, the sound of laughter can be heard.
In the room, I saw several beauties with fluttering clothes and different postures, laughing and chasing each other, avoiding a skinny young man whose eyes were covered by a scarf.
The young man smelled of alcohol and was immersed in the fun of hide and seek.
Whenever he accidentally captures a beautiful woman, he will forcefully take her into his arms and make love with her, causing the beauties to squeal repeatedly, either angry or happy, and the scene is very ambiguous.
The young man is Zhou Zhifan, the king of the small vassal.
Consistent with outside investigations, Zhou Zhifan is indeed a playboy with a dissolute character.
If nothing else happens, he will at best be a young master in this life.
But luck happened to take care of him. One day, a mysterious man found him, and then he secretly owned an army, and then started the road to Qingjun.
If successful, he will also become emperor.
This is something Zhou Zhifan never dared to dream about.
Although he is more like a puppet, as long as he can become the emperor, this little vassal king does not care who controls the military power, does not care whether the ministers are loyal or not, and does not care how the people live...
< br>He just wants to enjoy the glory and wealth, and he just wants to get the beauties in the world.
Being a faint king is also the ultimate happiness.
This is the moment.
"Beauty, I caught you..."
Zhou Zhifan hugged a woman who was "accidentally" caught by him, and couldn't wait to sniff her neck. "Little beauty, stay with me tonight."
The woman smiled coquettishly and pretended to push the other person: "Your Majesty is so evil~~"
At this moment, the candlelight in the room suddenly trembled, and the light and shadow flickered uncertainly.
The next moment, the other women who were playing and playing in the room were helpless and collapsed on the ground, falling into a coma.
The woman held in his arms screamed in fear.
After noticing the abnormality, Zhou Zhifan pulled off the blindfold handkerchief. When his eyes were slightly brighter, he was surprised to find that there was an extra woman in a gorgeous gold dress in the room.
The woman has an extraordinary temperament and a graceful figure, like a snow lotus blooming in the cold night.
The appearance with phoenix eyes and pointed jaw should have been pitiful, but instead it was as cold as ice, revealing an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty.
Zhou Zhifan was stunned.
He who loves beauty has never seen such stunning beauty.
I just feel that even if the fairy from the sky comes, it is nothing more than this.
“Did the beauty come to see me?”
Zhou Zhifan swallowed, pushed the woman in his arms away, and stepped forward to hold her in his arms.
However, as soon as he started to move, he suddenly felt as if his whole body was entangled with countless steel wires, and severe pain suddenly occurred. Especially the lower body area, there are drops of blood, soaking the clothes.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that he couldn't even scream, as if his vocal cords were being strangled by an invisible hand.
Luo Wanqing stepped into the room without looking at him.
The only conscious woman was shaking with fear and her face was pale.
Luo Wanqing looked around the room, picked up a fake jade seal placed on the table, and raised a cold sarcasm at the corner of her mouth: "These days, any pig or dog can be the emperor."
Zhou Zhifan knelt on the ground, his face flushed.
The surroundings were silent, except for the moonlight outside the window, which made this scene even more eerie and mysterious.
Luo Wanqing gently waved her sleeves.
An invisible wind blade is about to chop off the young man’s head.
But suddenly, the wind blade turned invisible.
Zhou Zhifan flew out and hit the bed hard with a dull sound. Then his vision went dark, he lost consciousness and fainted.
"He is useful to me."
The woman who had just looked frightened was now standing in front of the bed and looking directly at Luo Wanqing with an indifferent expression.
Luo Wanqing tossed the fake jade seal in her hand, and her tone was full of disgust: "You are getting more and more disgusting. What evil have I, Luo Wanqing, done to have a father like you."
"One day, you will be proud of me as your father."
Woman... No, Luo Mingtang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Luo Wanqing laughed loudly, and then threw the fake jade seal in her hand towards the opponent.
Poof——
The fake jade seal pierced the opponent's head, and white and red splashed all over the floor.
The woman's body slowly fell.
But then a monster like a lizard appeared in the room.
“How many of your divided souls will be left after I kill you?”
Luo Wanqing counted with her jade fingers.
“There are eight left.”
Luo Mingtang answered for her.
Luo Wanqing said "Oh", and a golden lotus appeared in the palm of her hand:
"I originally wanted that kid Jiang Mo to kill you, but it turned out that bastard knew how to hook up all day long. Women, I don’t do anything serious. Let me, my daughter, clean up the house.”
“I can live forever. I have already understood the "Yin Yang Shen Tu Lu".
Luo Mingtang said seriously, "As long as I complete these rituals, I can gain eternal life. And if you have my bloodline, you can also live forever."
Luo Wanqing sneered and said: "I ascended and will live forever."
Hearing this, Luo Mingtang's smile became a little strange and cold:
"Girl, you don't really think this is the case. There must be immortals in the world. You must have seen it with your own eyes when Zhao Wuxiu opened the Heavenly Gate. Do you still believe in the so-called scam of becoming an immortal?"
Luo Wanqing narrowed her eyes and fell into silence. Although the two were enemies, father and daughter, Luo Wanqing still had some scruples and admiration for this father.
She once told Jiang Shouzhong that although Luo Mingtang could not practice due to physical reasons, his understanding of martial arts was rare in the world.
It can be said that he is stronger than people like Yan Changqing and Zhao Wuxiu.
For any secret book of exercises, others need the entire book to practice.
But he only needed half a volume to understand and complete the following content on his own. Even if the direction is wrong, the effect is even better than the original one.
Luo Mingtang has been tirelessly researching the way to immortality for so many years.
Especially after the demonic energy revived, he studied it in detail.
In the end, he transformed himself into a strange monster form like a lizard, and studied advanced dual cultivation techniques such as "Yin Yang Shen Tu Lu" on his own.
And he was also the first person to doubt the theory of ascension.
Luo Mingtang had said to her daughter a long time ago:
“People practice in order to ascend, to ascend is to become an immortal, and to become an immortal is to live forever. But these They all exist in rumors and have never been confirmed.
So is it possible that the so-called immortals are actually just monks at a higher level, and there is no so-called immortality at all. The so-called immortality is just a scam? ”
At that time, Luo Wanqing sneered at these remarks.
But now, she saw Zhao Wuxiu opening the Heavenly Gate with her own eyes, saw Jiang Wan slashing through the Heavenly Gate with her own eyes, and saw with her own eyes The "immortal" was seriously injured... He couldn't help but become suspicious.
Of course, even if he agreed with Luo Mingtang's point of view, Luo Wanqing hated this disgusting and perverted guy to the core.
No matter what. , the other party deserves to die.
Perhaps knowing that Luo Wanqing would eventually take action, Luo Mingtang said: "My soul can disappear, but if you can stop killing Zhou Zhifan, he is still useful to me."
"What? Not only? If you want to live forever, you also want to be an emperor?"
Luo Wanqing snorted, "I thought you secretly organized the rebels in Minzhou, but I didn't expect you to be in Xiangming City, under Zhou Chang's nose. I admire him for doing things."
Luo Mingtang smiled and said: "I did those things in Minzhou to attract other people's attention and make Zhou Chang feel more at ease with me. If I am safe and sound, you will. The husband will be worried.
But even if I don't do it, someone else will cause trouble in Minzhou. The Qiu Tianshi of the Yin and Yang Sect is more unstable than me. It's a pity that this Qiu Tianshi is short-sighted and only thinks about it. Use dual cultivation to ascend”
Having said this, Luo Mingtang's eyes became much softer:
"Girl, you are my father's only relative in this world. If you want longevity and this world, my father can give it to you. "
"I just want you to die."
Luo Wanqing's slender jade fingers spread apart, and the golden lotus bloomed.
Luo Mingtang sighed: "Then let's make a deal. Some time ago, Honglian Temple captured two women from nowhere, and they seem to be related to Jiang Mo.
You can go look for it, it should still be alive. It is more cost-effective to trade their lives for Zhou Zhifan's. "
Luo Wanqing frowned and sneered: "Jiang Mo's woman was caught, it's none of my business! "
The woman's bright wrist was raised slightly, and she saw the golden lotus spinning and flying, unstoppable, going straight to Luo Ming Hall and flying away.
In an instant, wherever the petals passed, the air seemed to be blown by It split apart, making a slight tearing sound. Luo Mingtang's soul was instantly crushed into powder and dissipated invisibly.
——
Honglian Nunnery is a nunnery in Xiangming City.
On the surface, it is a pure place for Buddhism, but secretly it is more like a demonic sect or a cult. It forces many women to shave their heads and become monks, and believe in the mother of the Tantric religion - Our Lady of Mahabodhi.
Similar to a religious baptism.
However, Our Lady of Mahabodhi has never recognized the legitimacy of Honglian Nunnery.
But the head of Honglian Temple didn't care at all and always took the initiative to have a relationship with the Holy Mother. Even if the other person never looks at her, she will pretend to be his disciple with a shy face.
The main thing is a thick skin.
At this time, two special women were imprisoned in the dungeon of Honglian Temple.
Some time ago, the master of Honglian Nunnery learned that Our Lady of Great Bodhi had appeared in Nanjin Kingdom, so he personally and a group of guardian elders brought a new treasure and planned to dedicate it to Our Lady and make it official. Accept yourself as a Mahabodhi follower.
Unfortunately, they searched for many days in Nanjin Kingdom, but could not find any trace of the Virgin.
On the way back, I accidentally discovered two girls.
They were seriously injured and in a coma at the time.
These two girls are full of aura, and at first glance they look like people with deep blessings.
The master of Honglian Nunnery immediately fell in love with them. He believed that these two girls had a Buddhist relationship and it was an opportunity given to him by God, so he took them back to Honglian Nunnery and planned to accept them as his disciples.
But after waking up, the two girls were unwilling to live or die, so the nunnery owner simply imprisoned them in the dungeon and tried to reform them.
The method of reformation is also very simple.
Twelve hours of non-stop chanting of sutras was just a routine, and starving them or even not giving them anything to drink was just a small punishment. The real method of reform was... mental hypnosis.
On weekdays, many nuns in Honglian Temple accept their fate under mental hypnosis.
To be precise, this is a secret technique of hypnosis.
It was nightfall at this moment, and the cells were brightly lit.
A nun in plain monk robes is sitting upright on a futon, with a simple and elegant copper bell and a yellowed scripture in front of her.
The nun's face was calm and solemn, looking compassionate.
She looked at the two women in the cell, took out a small and exquisite incense burner from her sleeve, and lit the special soothing spices in it.
The curls of green smoke slowly rise, adding a bit of a blurry atmosphere.
Although there was not much progress in hypnotizing the two women in the prison, she believed that they would eventually become disciples of Honglian Temple.
“It turns out to be the art of absorbing souls and mysterious hearts.”
Just as the nunnery master was about to ring the bell, a mocking voice suddenly sounded in the cell.
The face of the nunnery master changed drastically, and just when he was about to turn around, he fell firmly to the ground, with blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth. The invisible pressure made her breathless.
Luo Wanqing walked to the cell door and looked at the two girls inside.
When her eyes fell on one of the round-faced girls with a plump figure, she said in surprise: "I remember... you should be the maid next to Ran Qingchen, what is your name Jin Xiu?"
Yes, the two girls who were captured were Jinxiu and Calm, who usually held a cactus in his hand.
It's just that at this moment, Calm's hands don't have the precious cactus.
The two girls were in a trance, and the many days of brainwashing had some impact on them.
At this time, when Luo Wanqing asked, his eyes were dull and he did not answer.
Luo Wanqing waved her hand to open the cell door, pinched a spell and tapped it lightly on Jinxiu's eyebrows, and asked: "How were you arrested, and who were you with before?"
"Mrs. Jiang Yi..."
Jinxiu looked a little pained and murmured.
Jiang Yi?
Luo Wanqing's pupils shrank: "Where is she?"
"Nan...Jin Guo...is injured..."
Jin Xiu replied.
Luo Wanqing was very surprised: "Didn't that woman go to Zhenxuan Mountain? Why did she go to Nanjin Kingdom?"
Jin Xiu suddenly fainted.
Obviously, she had been severely injured before this.
Luo Wanqing glanced at the calm person next to her, frowned in thought for a moment and then sighed:
"That's all, for the sake of her sister, I... No, Aijia I reluctantly went to save this slut. It just so happened that I didn’t have a maid by my side, so you two were the only ones waiting on me on the way.”
