Chapter 54: The Great Black Sky(1/2)
The members of the Guards Register registered military merits and received rewards from the Ministry of War. However, the commander Yang Tian's reward was a bit embarrassing. He received a verbal praise from Emperor Tianyou, and then rewarded some things in the imperial wine secretly made by the Da Nei. He did not say that he was promoted, nor did he say that he would reward some practical gold, silver, jewelry, etc. However, Yang Tian was very open-minded: there was no way to get promoted, and if the official was too high, the Emperor Tianyou would not be at ease. Becoming rich, the large amount of money from Governor Hou had just entered his pocket, and he did not lack such a royal reward. Moreover, he had been in Shengjing for a year, and the supervisor on his fief also sent the annual income, and more or less than one million taels were earned. Suddenly, Yang Tian's wealth became much richer.
King Tianhu sent his fat head and big ears to come over and invited Yang Tian and four others to have a meal at the mansion. When the supervisor saw Jiang Chunshui and more than a dozen people shouting gambling dominoes in the hall, he invited all of them to come over with favor, saying that King Tianhu wanted to see the young heroes in Shengjing now.
Naturally, everyone had no objection. Although it was a casual meal in the royal palace, those who were eating, drinking and having fun were rare to find good things in the palace, and they could also make connections with King Tianhu, so why not do it? Zeng Guoxuan quickly ordered his entourage to return to the mansion and get a few big corals. Jiang Chunshui asked his entourage to send a box of black pearls. The other Lin Yiyun and Huangfu Siyun also prepared heavy gifts. Yang Tian was naturally unwilling to fall behind, so he pulled Long Feng to the back hall, exploited a large number of giant gems, and put the box proudly. Long Feng also laughed secretly in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't tell Yang Tian about the method of using his own energy to make gems, otherwise wouldn't he use diamonds to build a house? However, there was not enough materials, and he had to collect another batch of graphite...
King Tianhu was very happy. He was not happy because of the gifts given by several kids. He could find thousands of these things in any warehouse, that is, Yang Tian’s giant gems are still relatively rare. He was happy. Emperor Tianyou agreed to cut a piece of his fief from the richest land in the Western continent as his fief. Will his gold and silver treasury be more abundant in the future... Moreover, Emperor Tianyou also promised that once he conquered the three overseas continents where the Black Cloud Empire was located, he would directly let King Tianhu be the governor of one of the continents. Can he be unhappy with such good news?
So, during the meal, he opened his mouth and kept laughing loudly, and enthusiastically introduced the rare foods from overseas southern Xinjiang and other places, which made everyone's appetite so much that they stopped talking until they couldn't eat them.
After drinking and eating, King Tianhu said casually: "A few days later, I will go to Daheitian Temple to wait for the Old Buddha to come out of seclusion. On the way, I will rely on you to protect me. Hey, you also know that the soldiers in Shengjing have only been empty recently, and all the main forces have been transferred away, and the new recruits are useless, so I have to work hard for you."
Yang Tian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are polite. These things are what we should do for our ministers. It is not hard or hard. However, will we start attacking the mainland of the Black Cloud Empire soon?"
The cold light flowed out from the eyes of King Tiangu, and he said lightly: "It's okay to tell you, that's right. The armored warships and giant wooden ships have already made 3,000 ships, and are still working at full speed... The new crossbow arrows, artillery, etc. have also had a large inventory. Now the Heavenly Kingdom is preparing for war with all its strength. To be honest, we are also very interested in their continent."
Jiang Chunshui said 'oh' and said, "No wonder Xiaolong hasn't seen anyone for a long time, so is his army..."
King Tiangu nodded and said, "Little Dragon...is the little grandson of Long Shangshu? That kid has a trick. His 50,000 guards have long been transferred to the port near Wujiang... Now there are only 150,000 new recruits in Shengjing to support the storefront. Hey, I feel a little uneasy every day. If something goes wrong, these are the people..."
Zeng Guoxuan flattered: "Prince, the Heavenly Dynasty is famous, who dares to cause trouble in Shengjing? This time I went to wait for the Empress Dowager to come out of seclusion, could it be..."
King Tianhu took a big sip of wine, grabbed the maid next to him with a smile and kept rubbing it, saying, "That's right, yes, Your Majesty is afraid that they are a bit inexplicable mage, so he wants me to personally invite the Lord of the Expeditionary Army to take charge."
What else Yang Tian wants to ask? King Tianhu had already started to shake his head and said, "You must not tell me about mobilizing the army... Hehe, I trust you a few, so I told you, don't let me down. This, Mr. Yang, be careful. If you perform well recently, I will ask my brother to transfer you to fight the Heiyun Devils. Hehe, this time the Celestial Empire has collected 5 million local troops, and the vassal states in the Western continent will also produce 1.7 million elite troops. If you win, it will be a sure win. It depends on whether you can get the credit."
Several people in the Guards' Regiment were shocked. The five million troops in the Celestial Empire and the 1.7 million elite troops of the vassal states had invested a lot this time. Although the Celestial Empire had a large population, it was not very easy to collect five million elite soldiers. If it failed, it would not be able to recover its vitality within five years. In the Western continent, it has been gradually accumulating population recently. If these one.7 million elite troops were defeated, it would basically be a failure of all their families.
King Tiangu said proudly: "Several veterans of the Ministry of War have estimated the strength of the Black Cloud Empire, which is probably similar to the Heavenly Dynasty, but they were defeated by the Heavenly Dynasty one after another, and our weapons have great advantages. This time, we will definitely win a great victory with all our strength. If we can sweep the three continents overseas, it will be a great achievement that will never be easy forever."
The blood in Jiang Chunshui and his men suddenly became full of blood. However, Yang Tian and Long Feng were fine and were not moved by their words. Although they spoke beautifully, once these millions of troops fought and were in constant war, how many people could return to Liuhua Continent?
The King of Heaven was a little drunk and said with a lewd smile: "We set off the day after tomorrow. We can walk about three days on the road to the Black Heaven Temple of Lord Lama. Seven days later, Lord Lama left the customs, hehe... I have prepared a few beautiful virgins, you can enjoy it slowly, I will take a step first." I hugged the two maids in a hurry and walked quickly towards the back hall.
Yang Tian shook his head and said, "This, brother, I have suffered from a cold recently and was unwell. On this woman, the doctor warned me to be calm... and take a step first." He pulled Long Feng and ran away.
How could Jiang Chunshui and the others be polite? He walked out with the designated beautiful maids Shi Shiran. Zeng Guoxuan suddenly reacted: "It's a hot day now? Why is the boss infected with the cold?" Several young men were stunned. After a long time, Huangfu Siyun guessed maliciously: "It's probably because he was too drunk and sex recently, and he was a little overworked. He knew that we were going to fight together, so he escaped in the battle to avoid being ugly, right?" The few people smirked evilly, and tried their best to attack the maids beside him.
Leading by twenty-four monks from the Great Hei Tian Divine Sect, the Tiangu King followed in a carriage with more than a hundred carriages. Yang Tian and his guard regiment formed a long snake formation on both sides of the convoy to guard the middle. Yang Tian brought a few confidant men and accompanied him next to the Tiangu King's carriage and chatted with him all over the world.
King Tiangu whispered: "This, Mr. Yang is from the Western Continent, and I guess he is not familiar with this old Buddha. He is amazing. When my elder brother and I raised an army to attack the rebel Shenning, he led the church members, attracted the Tianhuo Pili, eliminated most of the rebels' troops, and made extraordinary achievements... His magic power is really capable of moving mountains and seas and turning the world."
Yang Tian looked envious: "Hey, if he could have one percent of his ability, he wouldn't be afraid if he went to the battle formation."
King Tianhu Gaga said: "That's right, that's right, we'll go and wait for him to come out of seclusion this time. If you have the chance, please ask for advice. It will definitely be beneficial."
Long Feng was silent, thinking something in his heart. Yang Tian smiled and said, "If the Old Buddha agreed to go to the army, it would be of great help. However, if you have seen the magic power of the disciples of the Divine Cult in the Western Continent, it would be earth-shaking and even more powerful than the cannon."
King Tiangu nodded repeatedly and said, "I have also seen that Lord Lao Fu challenged the most famous alchemists in the Celestial Empire and won a great victory with one-on-ten. The mountain they competed for was beaten up afterwards. It was really a magical method."
I was chatting all the way, and before I knew it, three days later, the horse team arrived at the Black Heaven Temple, which was granted by the Imperial Temple on the "Xuantian Peak" three hundred miles south of the Shengjing City. The speed could have been faster, but in order to take care of the personal physiological needs of the Tianguwang, I could only walk about a hundred miles every day.
The Black Sky Temple occupies the entire "Xuantian Peak". From the top of the peak to the foot of the mountain, it is its magnificent and magnificent huge stone building. The black granite mined hundreds of miles away forms the entire temple. The most ordinary gate is as high as five meters high. Each huge stone is exquisitely carved with gorgeous, quaint and strange patterns. Five people are hugged everywhere. The fifteen-meter-high stone pillars form a mysterious giant formation corresponding to the stars of the sky. The waves of powerful energy surge in the stone formation. The only passage to enter the temple is the only avenue that is more than ten meters wide and paved with huge stones.
Long Feng looked at the monster stone sculptures carved on the eaves on the stone pillars and on the eaves. He had a little doubt in his heart: Could it be that the old Heitian monster has been to the Demon World? Otherwise, how could he carve the images of those lower races in the Demon God clan?
Long Feng smiled, it was very interesting.
King Tiangu got off the carriage, and with the help of several maids, he led everyone to the main hall to burn incense and worship the dark statue of the demon god with three heads, nine arms and four legs. Then he rested in peace under the leadership of the disciples of the Divine Cult.
××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
In the room, Yang Tian laughed secretly and said to Long Feng: "I have never believed in God very much. I didn't expect that I would even worship these inexplicable demon gods here. It's a bit of a loss."
Long Feng was full of fire. Looking at the sculpture of the statue, it was clearly a low-level demon god. He forgot which family he really lost money and actually kowtowed at the statue countless times.
Feng Ling'er said with some confusion: "It's strange. I seem to remember that I have seen a creature that looks like the statue... I have fought with them in my impression... It's true, I forgot all the specific information and can't even remember it."
The ghosts who had been quiet in Mo Jing for a long time shouted again: "Yes, yes, we still have the impression of them, we have fought with them, they are very strong, very strong." Long Feng's head suddenly churned like porridge. He used his energy to shake Mo Jing slightly and carefully. Mo Jing suddenly turned the world upside down, and the powerful energy flow shocked all the ghosts. Now, the world was quiet.
Yang Tian asked Feng Ling'er a little puzzledly: "I said, sister, you don't have such a bad memory, right? I was so impressed by the statue. How could you forget it after seeing it and fighting it?"
Feng Ling'er ignored him, walked out the door, entered her room, and went to rest. Long Feng smiled and felt something was wrong in his heart: If Feng Ling'er had already begun to recall what was deep in their memory, then if she found something she shouldn't have discovered, it would be hard to explain it to her now.
No words all night.
Four days later, it happened to be the day when the old ghost of the dark sky came out of seclusion. Early in the morning, the weather was clear and clear, and it was a bit strange. There was no cloud in the distance, and the silly sunlight shot down directly, barbecuing everything on the ground with a hot blast. The air was extremely dull, and a dead breath enveloped the world.
Yang Tian noticed something wrong and left all the guards at the intersection outside the temple. He found a reason to cut off the stern and said: "No idle people are allowed to harass the good things of Lao Fu from the confinement." Jiang Chunshui, who originally wanted to go to watch the fun, understood the meaning in Yang Tian's eyes, and obediently led his brothers to strictly guard the intersection where there were basically no one in and out on weekdays.
In the temple, about 10,000 disciples of the Black Heaven Sect were excited, but they lined up silently and quickly walked towards the peak. The Tianguwang and others slowly walked to the peak accompanied by several highest-level Dharma protectors.
The top of the peak is a circular flat ground with a diameter of about a diameter. In the middle of the site is a thirteen-story iron-cast pagoda. The tower is covered with black smoke, and countless unjust souls cried and howled endlessly. The powerful negative energy swept around, adding a little bit of vitality to the dead atmosphere today.
Long Feng exclaimed and said, "Your sect really put a lot of effort into collecting so many beasts and ghosts."
A Dharma protector said proudly: "This is true. We have collected thirteen years, killed more than 100,000 beasts, selected the most powerful 99,999 Yin spirits, and blood sacrificed them into this Yin soul tower. This wizard is also a fellow master, and he can see the effort spent in it at a glance... But, let's forget about these Yin souls, the kung fu of this tower body is even greater."
The King of Heavenly Guard quickly said, "Yes, yes, I have heard that the tower is made of cold iron, mixed with the sea-year-old black ice iron and the Arctic ice essence. Then, the scriptures and mantras that are as thin as a fly's head were carved on it, and it also took thirteen years to use it."
Long Feng looked at the ghost tower with a little jealousy. If it could be stolen without knowing it, and use his own magic to practice it, it would be an amazing weapon. Unfortunately, there are too many people nearby. Long Feng has already started to think about finding an opportunity to sneak attack the temple in the future, and it would be better to rob it.
The disciples of the Black Heaven Divine Sect slowly gathered together, stood in the shape of a spell on the front of the tower, and began to gather everyone's magic power, slowly pushing a powerful spell. Several Dharma protectors were too lazy to pay attention to the Heavenly Guardian and others, so they ran over and joined the queue. The powerful energy cyclone slowly tore open the air and gathered a huge vortex over the peak, which was thrilling.
At the foot of the mountain, the guards group were stunned and stared at the abnormality that appeared on the top. Zeng Guoxuan stuttered: "It's really right if the boss doesn't ask us to go. What the hell are they doing?"
Without saying a word, Jiang Chunshui adjusted the queue and ordered: "The whole team turned around and walked quickly... the farther away, the better." Without his instructions, the young master turned around and ran away, muttering: "Damn it, let us chop people, let us do these gods and ghosts, we can't do these gods and ghosts, so we can't do it, so let's leave."
Yang Tian hid the Tianguwang behind him and whispered: "Damn it, what are they doing? Prince, be careful. If there is any abnormality in heaven and earth, hide behind Gnu immediately. His armor can have great defense."
The King of Heavenly Hu was frightened and nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, you are careful, these disciples of the Divine Cult, what are they doing?"
Yang Tian and Feng Ling'er didn't say anything, and slowly began to gather the thin energy around them - the energy was basically taken away by the formation of the disciples of the Divine Cult. Feng Ling'er instinctively noticed the danger, and Yang Tian recognized what the disciples of the Divine Cult are doing: the defensive formation to resist the heavenly tribulation. Long Feng cursed in his heart: "No wonder he wants to make such a big fucking scene. The ghost tower has come out. It depends on whether you can stand it or not. If you can't stand it, don't think I will save you."
At noon, when the yang energy is the heaviest, the disciples of the Divine Cult had gathered into a shiny tornado that was extremely rough, and they kept twisting and staying in the sky.
Driven by an unknown force, the Yin Soul Tower began to slowly fly upwards, revealing a dark cave with a diameter of more than ten feet below. Long Feng nodded: "The old ghost in Hei Tian is smart. He uses the Yin Soul Tower to hide his breath on it, and hides in the cave to practice with the earth energy." He suddenly remembered that on earth, did Long Kuang and the others do this? It seems that in order to resist this disaster that humans cannot resist, humans are almost the same.
The ghost tower slowly rose, and the tornado immediately tangled up, and the powerful energy was absorbed by the tower body emitting black light. The tower body seemed to have increased a lot in an instant, and a huge pressure came to the face. The disciples of the Divine Cult who had exhausted the last bit of their strength fell to the ground weakly. There were only a few high-level guardians, like a guy who had just vented on a woman eighteen times. His legs were trembling and his face pale, and he said with a forced smile: "The Lord of Buddha is coming out of seclusion soon, the prince will see it after waiting for a moment."
Long Feng suddenly asked them, "Do you know if the heavenly tribulation will affect the people next to you?"
The disciples of the Divine Cult looked at Long Feng in shock, and after a long time, he slowly shook his head. Long Feng laughed in his heart. He couldn't even figure this out, so he actually dared to let the Heavenly Guardian go up to the top to watch the ceremony. He was so brave.
The Tianguwang looked a little wrong and asked in surprise: "What will affect us? Then, then, then, I still..."
Long Feng hurriedly said, "Although this may affect us, it is definitely no problem to have the Lord of Buddha here." Several Dharma protectors nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, Lord of Buddha takes action and is not afraid of any heavenly tribulation."
Before the Heavenly Guard could speak, the ghost tower suddenly soared more than a hundred feet, and the tower body suddenly shrank to less than one foot. The light outside was all restrained, and the black tower body seemed like a black hole. A glance could suck human souls in.
Long Feng took two steps forward and stood in front of Yang Tian. Feng Ling'er shook his head and leaned over, protecting Yang Tian and Gnu behind him. Behind Yang Tian and Gnu, they were trembling all over, and they were close to their Heavenly Guardian King. The followers of Heavenly Guardian King all turned blue and trembled all over, and followed their prince tightly and leaned behind him. No one wanted to go to the disciples of the Divine Cult to seek protection. It was hard to say whether they could get a whole body. The only backer now is Long Feng and Feng Ling'er, who had shown some magic power.
A burst of laughter sounded from the cave, and a ball of black smoke wrapped around an old bald man with a naked body, only a piece of cloth near his little brother, rose up.
Almost at the same time, a golden light flashed around the sky, and more than a dozen thin and invisible golden threads gathered in the middle quickly and suddenly shrank into a small golden spot of light. Then an extremely bright golden lightning slashed down at the Ghost Tower.
The old ghost of Hei Tian who rose from the cave stared violently with his eyes, his eyes shone with evil in his eyes, and he roared wildly: "God doesn't bless me." With his right hand, a ball of black light hit the Yin Soul Tower. The Yin Soul Tower let out a terrifying howl. A thin, black light tore through the nearby space and hit the nearby space with a twisted ripples. The golden light hit it right in front of it. The black light seemed to shatter the golden lightning without any obstacles, piercing the sky, and I don't know where it flew. God knows if there will be any unlucky ghost hit it.
The old ghost of Heitian laughed wildly and roared in the void.
The sky around the sky flashed again, and golden lines that were slightly more numerous than before gathered together, and a slightly thicker golden lightning flashed down quickly.
The old ghost of Heitian roared: "I will go against the will of heaven." Another ball of black light attacked, and a black lightning shot out between the towers of the Yin Soul Tower, and the golden lightning was completely shattered.
The third path, the fourth path, the fifth path...
The old ghost in Heitian looked at the measures he had prepared for more than ten years to fight against the heavenly tribulation. Needless to say, the joy in his head pointed at God and cursed: "I fuck your ancestors, I will practice Buddha myself, become a Buddha and be an ancestor, what do you have to do with you? Why did you kill me in heavenly tribulation? I fuck your ancestors."
The 250th Way, the 251st Way...
The black light shot out from the ghost tower became thicker and thicker, and the tower body was slowly getting bigger. Countless spells also turned into light spots and appeared, rotating around the tower body. The stormy energy flow slowly overflowed from the tower body, and the tower body began to flash black light again.
Long Feng whispered: "It's a bit bad. There are 360 thunder tribulations. I bet that he can't hold on for long, and the tower body can't bear it anymore... If his ghost tower is all made of thousands of years of black ice iron under the sea and Arctic ice sperm, it would be absolutely fine. It's a pity, a pity."
The 340th Way, the 341th Way...
The old ghost of Heitian was a little anxious. The Yin Soul Tower had become its original size. Each black light was shattered by the increasingly thicker golden thunderbolt. Then the golden lightning hit the Yin Soul Tower directly. Finally, with a loud bang, Long Feng felt deeply distressed. The Yin Soul Tower was completely shattered. The powerful lightning instantly qianed it, and the remaining golden lightning struck the old ghost of Heitian without hesitation.
Black lightning suddenly appeared all over the body. His hands were facing the sky, and a thick electric pillar broke through the air, instantly shattering the 358th electric light. He had just gasped for a moment, and the 359th golden thunderbolt almost connected the entire world and slashed down. The old ghost of Hei Tian yelled: "God, I fuck your mother..." The piece of cloth barely wrapped around the little brother shattered, and the little brother, who was filled with energy, was extremely majestic. The broken blood of his arms and skin splashed everywhere, and a black electric pillar that made a harsh "crackling" sound rushed up, colliding with the golden lightning, and disappeared invisible.
The black smoke on the old ghost Hei Tian faded a lot. He stood on the ground with a hideous face and pointed at the sky and cursed: "Damn, the last word, come on, come on, see if you can kill your ancestors. As long as I hold on, I will leave the three realms and get rid of the five elements in the future. I will not be your God's care. Come on... Let's see if I can become a Buddha and become an ancestor."
The pressure in the air was getting stronger and stronger, and countless thin golden threads broke through the sky from all over the sky, constantly gathering above the peak. The golden light balls became bigger and brighter, and the colorful clouds gathered from where they gathered. The golden light balls were churning in the clouds, which was very beautiful. Golden light bolts kept flashing out of the light balls, tearing the void. The rumbling sound in the sky made everyone dizzy, and the entire "Xuantian Peak" trembled.
The golden light ball became bigger and bigger, and finally almost enveloped the entire Xuantian Peak.
King Tiangu has begun to pray to gods and Buddhas constantly, and I don’t know which gods and Buddhas are asking for blessings. No one has the idea of running away. If the old ghost of Heitian cannot catch this lightning, the entire "Xuantian Peak" with the temple below will definitely be smashed by a blow, and there is no time to throw it away.
At the foot of the mountain, the young men of the guard group standing in the distance stared at the stunned silence. Zeng Guoxuan suddenly yelled: "Are you all fucking stupid? Run for me, run quickly, damn, I don't want to die..." He dragged his long sword and ran away. The others were not polite, using their carefully practiced light skills, and fled quickly with their legs and two feet.
Jiang Chunshui ran and wailed: "If I can't die today, I will definitely get two girls well when I go back to Shengjing." He was swearing here, a lightning bolt that was extremely thick and brightened to the extreme had already struck the top of the 'Xuantian Peak'. The strong golden light made the guards members who were facing the top of the peak feel painful in their eyes, and they even faster.
The old ghost of Hei Tian sacrificed his life, lifted up all his true energy, opened his mouth wide, and his muscles suddenly swelled up. A mouthful of black blood was squirting out, and his hands suddenly pushed out to the sky. The black smoke wrapped around him was completely merged into his body. The black electric column, which was so thick that it was not as thick as the golden lightning in the sky, roaring and hitting it down.
Two lightnings collided head-on, as if two substantial pillars were striking and colliding with each other, making a 'cry, crackling' sound. But it was obvious that the black lightning column was no match for the golden lightning, and was slowly squeezed down one by one.
The old ghost of Heitian screamed in anxiety and kept vomiting blood. Several loyal Dharma protectors tried their best to fly out a few small black lightnings to fight upwards, but before their offensive touched the golden light, they were already shattered and even caused him to vomit blood.
Long Feng looked around the 'Xuantian Peak' and asked lightly: "Where is the place nearby that is very empty and no one lives?"
A manager of the royal palace pointed to the mountains in the west and said, "There are no ones over there, they are all mountains. This is the royal hunting ground. No one dares to enter on weekdays."
Long Feng laughed with evil intentions, took a sudden breath, and a thick black smoke appeared on his body. He flew out of the air with a ghost cry, pointing at the golden pillar of light in the sky, constantly chanting some strange spells in his mouth. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Old Buddha, you are ready to lead the heavenly tribulation to the west mountain."
The black smoke emitted by Long Feng held a golden light column. The pressure on the old ghost in Hei Tian lightened. He quickly let out a breath, put away the electric column he emitted, and roared violently, and a black electric column was slanted again. Long Feng's black smoke and the heavenly tribulation were slightly relieved. The golden electric column seemed to have a spiritual living creature, and suddenly turned the pressure to Long Feng, who was full of evil light. Long Feng hesitated, and the "demon energy" in his body turned wildly, easily offsetting the pressure, but the mage robe on his body was instantly shattered. Long Feng's mind turned sharply, and he forced a big mouthful of blood and spit it out.
To be continued...
