Chapter 1,699 Fenglin Huoshan(2/2)
Following this movement, the mechanical hand crossbow made a fine and continuous sound of mechanical operation, and its shape continued to change, and finally shrank into a small group that was not in the way.
At the same time, the sound of uniform footsteps and friction echoed in the forest. On the road below the hillside, a large number of fully armed soldiers lined up and were marching in unison.
These soldiers all wore silver-white armor and wore tiger-shaped masks on their faces. The flag bearer among them had the word "King" written clearly on the big flag.
There is no doubt that this team is the same army that Long Qie's people inspected before.
One of the empire's ace troops, a battle-hardened armor-piercing soldier!
The identity of the general on the hillside is self-evident.
The grandson of Wang Jian, the general of the empire and the great general who destroyed the country, and the son of Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, Wang Li!
He was wearing a tiger-pattern armor with a silver-white background and copper edges. He had regular facial features, a tall figure, and looked like a general.
Whether he looks the same on the outside or looks good on the outside depends on how he performs in the war against the peasant family.
………………
In the core hinterland of Daze Mountain, the Tomb of the Six Immortals of Emperor Yan is located.
The two brothers, Sheng Qi and Wu Kuang, took a shortcut by digging into the ground. They arrived late and arrived at the Tomb of the Six Immortals of Emperor Yan before Tian Hu and others.
Looking at the huge statue of the ancestor Shennong standing on the mountainside, Sheng Qi and Wu Kuang bowed neatly.
Both of them have been away from the farm for many years. One was executed as a criminal, but luckily escaped death and was expelled. The other was a victim, but although alive, he has been dead for many years and disappeared into the shadows without a trace.
But from the bottom of their hearts, they still consider themselves farmers' disciples.
As a farmer's disciple, of course we must respect the ancestors of Shennong.
In a sense, the two of them were praying for the blessings of their ancestors.
What they do next is very risky. Even though they have been on the edge of life and death and returned from hell, they are not sure.
At this time, it was inevitable that I prayed subconsciously.
Then the two of them walked through the long and narrow passage in front of the Shennong Statue and came to the entrance of a cave.
Here is the secluded residence of the six elders of the farm family - this is also the origin of the name of the Six Sages Tomb of Emperor Yan.
The so-called Yan Emperor naturally refers to this huge statue of Shennong.
The so-called Tomb of the Six Immortals refers to the six elders of the past dynasties who were seated here.
Each generation of the six masters of the peasant family will become the six elders after retiring from office, and then they will live in seclusion in the cave of Yandi Liuxian Tomb until death.
Under normal circumstances, the head of the Six Halls will select a successor in advance, and will step down after the death of the six elders.
It has been like this through the ages and never changes.
Of course, the inheritance rules of farmers are very clear, but in reality, there are always surprises.
And this generation, the farmer's family happened to have the biggest accident...or two.
All the previous six hall masters died, causing the new generation of hall masters to take over too quickly, which caused a sudden increase in the pressure on the six elders - they cannot die too early, otherwise the inheritance of this generation will be temporarily interrupted.
And another big surprise was what happened to Xia Kui Tian Guang.
His disappearance caused the internal divisions in the farm family to become more serious. The heads of the six halls were all busy fighting among themselves, and no one had the time to cultivate a successor.
This further increased the pressure on the six elders.
Of course, it can also be said that the pressure does not exist.
After all, it's really hard to control yourself when to die.
For Shengqi and Wu Kuang, it doesn't matter when the six elders will die or when they will die.
The worst thing is that the position of Sixth Elder is temporarily vacant, and it is not a life-threatening matter.
What they are concerned about is the attitude of the six elders towards them.
If there hadn't been those accidents, the six elders they would face next would be the former six hall masters, all of whom they were familiar with.
One of them is Shengqi's personal master.
With this relationship, the success rate of their plan will undoubtedly be higher.
But now it's hard to say.
Of course, it's not without its benefits.
The six elders are now unusually old. No matter how strong they were in the past, the strength they can now display will have declined a lot.
However, even so, the two of them were not sure that they could beat two against six.
It's just that they have no choice and must face it.
………………
After Shengqi, Wu Kuang and others entered the cave where the elder lived in seclusion, Tian Hu and his party followed closely and came to the Tomb of the Six Sages of Emperor Yan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tian Hu, Tian Zhong, and Tian Mi are the three leaders, plus more than a dozen close disciples - of course Tian Hu's close disciples.
They did not directly enter the Liuxianzhong cave where the elder lived in seclusion like Shengqi and the others did.
That place is a forbidden area for farmers, and even the masters of the Sixth Hall are not allowed to enter at will.
Only the heads of the six halls are gathered together, or the leader of heroes is present, and they can enter the Tomb of the Six Sages.
Therefore, Tian Hu and the others can only wait outside the cave entrance and wait for the other hall masters to arrive.
Of course, he couldn't wait for the Zhu family.
Even if the Zhu family showed up, there was almost no hope of a comeback. He didn't want the Zhu family to show up, and he didn't want to become the hero under the watchful eye of the Zhu family.
He doesn't need to show off in front of his rival, he just wants his rival to die obediently.
Now that he has five halls on his side, he has an absolute majority. When Tian Yan, who represents Lieshan Hall, and Situ Wanli, who represents Siyue Hall, arrive, he can go in directly.
The Zhu family... regardless of whether the pursuit is successful or not, just treat him as dead.
Anyway, it's impossible for him to jump out and refute.
In this way, even if all the hall masters are gathered together.
However, Tian Yan never showed up.
This made Tian Mi very irritable, and she couldn't help complaining, "Why is the eldest lady coming slower than me?"
Hearing Tian Mi's obviously dissatisfied tone, Tian Hu stood on the steps with his back to her and couldn't help but frown.
Tian Zhong glanced at her secretly, his eyes were very surprised.
With Tian Mi's city, you wouldn't be so impatient just after waiting a little longer, right?
Tian Hu is more determined than you!
What's wrong with this woman?
Tian Zhong didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly helped Tian Mi to smooth things over - you just messed up an important task, and you are muttering about someone's niece in front of Tian Hu. Isn't this unpleasant?
"Just wait a little longer, so as not to lose track of what others say."
Just after these two sentences, Situ Wanli, who was waiting outside for Tian Yan, came in.
