Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

Zhuge's family and Wei's family are both descendants of a hundred schools of thought, and they were supported by the master of the pen tomb, so they became the two schools of inheritance of the pen tomb.Most of the pen officials in the past came from two families, and they were all rich families that lasted for thousands of years. Since the day of their establishment, these two companies have always been in a faintly competitive relationship. They are different from each other, and they both want to overwhelm each other.Ever since the Bi Tomb was closed at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the two families have been fighting for the limited resources of the Bi Spirit, and they once regarded them as enemies.

But no matter how fierce the battle between the two families is, there is a bottom line that has never been crossed-that is, never shake the other party's foundation, and never kill the grass and roots.This is because the Confucian sect is so powerful and powerful, the two families inherited as the pen tomb are actually dependent on each other.This tradition has never been broken over the years. until now. Luo Zhongxia did not expect that it was Zhuge's family who attacked Wei Zhuang this time.This is not an ordinary offensive, but a battle of genocide that has been pulled up from the beginning!

First came the Tianrenbi and the Confucian Taoli Array, and then the general mobilization of the Zhuge family. Old Li was really ruthless. Looking at the densely packed Zhuge family officials, Luo Zhongxia gritted his teeth and gave up his plan to confront Fei Lao and Wei Qiang.He was just one person, counting Yan Zheng and Qin Yicai, he couldn't compete with the Zhuge family who had a lot of people.The current strategy is to enter Neizhuang as soon as possible and tell the Wei family and Monk Peter about the situation outside. "The star falling in the north moves its brilliance, and the generals marching south are like clouds and thunder."

As he recited these two lines of poems, stars began to fall from the sky, all of them were as big as beans; from the other end of the sky, there were golden clouds pouring in, among which there were bursts of thunder and the clang of armor. Voice. This is just an illusion created by Qinglian's posthumous pen. It looks majestic and majestic, but it is actually vulnerable, but it is enough to bluff people for a while.With the cover of these illusions, Luo Zhongxia ran away and quickly ran up the bamboo bridge. Farther away, Yan Zheng and Qin Yi also realized that something was not right.They saw Luo Zhongxia release the illusion, and when they knew it wasn't a fight, they exchanged glances tacitly and ran towards the bamboo bridge.

The team of Zhuge's family suddenly saw the glorious scene in front of them, and couldn't help but stop.Fei Lao in the team said coldly: "This is just an illusion, tell them not to hesitate, go forward immediately!" One person said, "Old Fei, do you want to send someone to clean up those little bastards in front of you?" Fei Lao pondered for a moment, then said: "If you dare to come out and break the Confucian Peach and Plum Formation, it must be the hard hand of the Wei family. Don't underestimate the enemy." "Understood." The man nodded.

Fei Laodao: "Just now, Tianrenbi only devoured half of Mrs. Wei's pen layout, and now there are probably many pen officials in Wei Zhuang. You must follow your team to maintain the advantage over the enemy, and don't stand alone. " "Then shall we start the assault?" "Just walk over slowly like this." Fei Lao said indifferently, with a tired expression on his face, which was a kind of tiredness from the heart.So the Zhuge family's team still maintained a loose formation and slowly moved towards Neizhuang, gradually forming a semicircular encirclement line.The encirclement line is sparse but not chaotic, and murderous intentions are hidden inside.It was obvious at a glance that they had no intention of letting a single person escape.

In the distance, there were two people standing side by side, looking towards Neizhuang.One is wearing a long robe, with a fat, wide face that is fair and clean without any wrinkles, and a pair of tortoiseshell black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He is Lao Li, the current patriarch of the Zhuge family; the other is tall and slender. , the whole body is white, and the complexion is ashen and livid, just like a pen boy. "You Zhuge's family really have a good plan." That Tong said coldly.When it spoke, only its lips moved, but the other facial muscles did not change at all, it looked extremely stiff and cold, like a puppet, only its eyes were shining, as if it was possessed by something.

When Lao Li heard it speak, he turned his head slightly: "Our Zhuge family did not hesitate to break the principles of thousands of years to help the Lord, isn't it sincere enough?" "It's not enough." Bi Tong, who was honored by Lao Li as "the lord", said decisively, "What I want is absolute dedication and absolute obedience." "The fifty-six officials of the Zhuge Family's Bi Tomb, all of them are here except Ruyu Bi. It can be said that they are the best. Is this not enough for the Lord?" "Hmph, the best of the best? When the Confucian Peach and Plum Formation is disturbed, where is your Dharma protector?" Before Lao Li could argue, the pen boy said again, "I don't know your thoughts. You deliberately delayed until First, provoke my Tianrenbi to fight with the pen formation map, and then allow them to destroy the Peach and Plum Formation. In this way, Wei Zhuang's strength is weakened, but the Tianrenbi's strength is not too strong, so you can profit from it. "

Lao Li showed a gentle smile, he didn't make any excuses, instead he grinned and said calmly: "Honorable Master, this is exactly the strategy I made." Bitong said disapprovingly: "Hmph, you juniors, you always try to play such a trick... My black-clothed Confucianists have lost more than 20 pieces." "Anyway, the lord is extremely powerful, so he doesn't care about these small things. As the patriarch, the younger generation has to consider the clan after all." Lao Li replied calmly.He knew that the guy in front of him had unfathomable strength and extraordinary wisdom. Instead of playing tricks, he might as well spread everything out.

"A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit. Which one are you?" Bi Tong asked suddenly. "In a small way, it's for the continuation of the Zhuge family; in a big way, it's for the revival of Chinese studies. It's a matter of benefit and righteousness, just a thought." A playful light flashed in the eyes of the pen boy, and it raised its arm mechanically, pointing to Nei Zhuang: "The Heavenly Man Pen has only absorbed 50% of the pen spirit. There is still half of it in Wei Zhuang. Your people go in, I’m afraid it will take a lot of effort.”

"This kind of loss has already been calculated by the younger generation." Lao Li said respectfully, "but the reward is always good. At least half of the Wei family's pen spirit, I can take back most of it—if the lord's celestial brush is allowed to absorb all , although the Zhuge family can easily capture Wei Zhuang, they only get an empty shell." This kind of naked interest analysis seems to be very much to the pen boy's appetite.It praised: "The idea is good. In this way, the strength of your Zhuge family can rise to another level." "Honorable Master's Celestial Brush is the supreme among the seven princes. He has managed it from Zhuge and Wei's family for so many years and took away many pen spirits. If you don't plan carefully, how can you have the strength to fight against Your Lord in the future?" Lao Li Speaking of this, he still stood firm and smiling, as if what he was reporting was an ordinary thing. Both of them spoke very frankly, and put their thoughts under the table on the table, without worrying about the other party's backhands.For Lao Li's bold speech, Bitong laughed three times.It's a pity that this boy doesn't have any expression, and the combination with the laughter is very strange. "Then, I will not intervene from now on, it depends on your means. Goodbye." "Congratulations, my lord." Lao Li bowed to Bi Tong till the end, and when he raised his body, the Bi Tong's eyes had dimmed, his expression became even more dull, and he had recovered into a servant boy, lifeless.Its shoulders were suddenly tilted, and there was a "crash", and the whole body collapsed and turned into a pile of bamboo ash. The Celestial Brush that was suspended in midair and the man in black on the ground disappeared quietly at some point.This "Honorable Lord" left as soon as he said it, and he was very straightforward. Lao Li, who was back to being alone, closed his eyes tiredly, and his original calm demeanor disappeared. It was only then that cold sweat gushed out from his forehead, neck and back.He opened his mouth and gasped for breath, as if a drowning man had just come ashore. "The Celestial Pen...is really a big trouble." Just now, he could feel the strong pressure just by standing next to the pen boy.This is just a pen boy possessed, if the "Honorable Lord" comes in person, I don't know how powerful it will be.The Celestial and Human Pen revived Confucianism twice, but its power is not enough to describe it as unfathomable. He knew very well that he was dancing with a historical legend on the tip of a red-hot knife.But now, there is no turning back.Either be terminated by the legend, or become a new legend, there is no third way. "Confucianism is the mean, I want to see how he is the mean this time." Thinking of this, Lao Li breathed a little easier.He took out his mobile phone and said in a cold tone, "Old Fei, let's start the assault." At the Patriarch's order, the speed of the slow-moving Zhuge family's team suddenly increased, and more than fifty officials quickly divided into dozens of combat groups, rushed into Weizhuang from different directions, and arrived at Neizhuang within a few minutes. Entrance - Bamboo Bridge. The assault officially began. After crossing the bamboo bridge, the Wei family ancestral hall is directly opposite.But the first few officials who rushed over found that the open land in front of the Wei family ancestral hall had turned into a swamp of water, the water was knee-deep, and it was difficult for them to walk.Those pen grave officials suddenly wanted to get out, when several silk threads flew from the deep building in Neizhuang, and tied them up immediately. Seeing that the situation was not good, one of the officials of the pen tomb yelled, his muscles swelled, and the silk thread broke.But his companions were not so lucky. After their hands and feet were bound by silk threads, they couldn't control their balance. They fell into the water with a "plop" and soon sank.The tomb official was very anxious, he plunged his arms into the water to meet his companions, but he didn't watch out for a small black cloud floating above the water, and thunder fell straight down. Water can conduct electricity, and the tomb official was covered with electric sparks in an instant, his whole body twitched a few times, and he could no longer move. There is no doubt that it was the Wei family's counterattack just now.It's just that they had just been poisoned by the Heavenly Pen, and they recovered from the chaos so quickly, and they were able to organize such an orderly counterattack, which was beyond the expectations of the Zhuge family. Zhuge's family, who had suffered a bit, did not fall into a panic. Lao Li was a man with a heart. He had painstakingly trained his family's pen officials according to modern military courses a long time ago, and now he finally showed his excellent psychological quality. Zhuge's second wave of attacks came very quickly.That piece of water was suddenly frozen into solid ice, and more than a dozen officials stepped on the ice and ran forward quickly.The silk thread on the opposite side shot again, and a person in the queue waved his right hand, and the silk thread froze in mid-air, and then began to burst into flames one by one, and soon turned into a string of ashes and fell to the ground .The little thunder cloud floated over impatiently, a series of lightning struck down, a mirror appeared out of thin air between Lei Dian and Zhuge's house, the thunder and lightning hit the mirror surface, reflected in all directions, and was extremely dazzling for a while. These pen officials have a clear division of labor and cooperate tacitly.When several main forces fought against the Wei family, several other people broke the ice and fished out the previous companions who were in distress. Immediately, the officials with medical capabilities followed up to rescue them. Put up your shield and stand in front of them. A pen tomb official made a ring in front of his eyes with his hands, glanced around, and said expressionlessly: "There are three people in the house on the right in front, two people in the house on the left, and one person on the roof. The distance is 65." The two officials of the pen grave nodded and extended their palms together.Those blue brick and tile houses sensed a rapidly rising heat, and then burned like paper.Several members of the Wei family fled from the burning house in a panic, and fell to the ground one after another, bleeding all over their bodies.It turned out that the surroundings of the house had long been covered with invisible blades, and as soon as they came out, they would be cut immediately. "Pen collection team, get on!" The commander ordered. Immediately, four or five people rushed in front of those officials of the Wei family's pen mound holding pen holders, pen holders, pen seas and other special equipment for collecting pen spirits.Lao Li had already set his goal in advance: to use as many Weijia pens as possible for his own use.Therefore, the members of Zhuge's family still have a sense of proportion in their actions, and they will not easily kill the killer. The people of the pen collection team leaned down to check the breath of these people.One of the Wei family members suddenly opened his eyes, punched the pen collection team member on the nose, then quickly backed up and pointed towards the sky.A huge goshawk radiating with the spirit of the pen swooped down, grabbed a wounded Wei family member with two claws, flew into the air, and flew towards the Cangbi Cave. Unfortunately, halfway through the flight, the goshawk was pierced by a radiant flying sword, and fell obliquely to the ground... The appearance of the dead made the whole situation slide towards the precipice of fanaticism and despair. Both sides knew that the other had made a strong determination, and neither could turn back.Offensive and defensive battles like this were raging throughout Neizhuang, and the entire Neizhuang was divided into countless small battlefields.The roar of the Bi Tomb official mixed with the neighing of the Bi Ling, and there were shouts and killings all over the place for a while, the ice and fire were mixed, and there was a huge roar from time to time. The Zhuge family wins because of their large number of people, and they are excellent in both individual quality and companion cooperation; although the Wei family has lost half of the pen spirits in the hands of Tianrenbi at first, but this time they are facing the catastrophe of the family's overthrow, and the heart of the same enemy is great. From then on, he became a mourner.In addition, there are still many Wubi members of the Wei family who have joined the battle to defend their homeland, relying on geographical advantages to resist desperately, and the two sides have fallen into a stalemate. Seeing this scene, Mr. Fei couldn't help sighing, and he didn't know whether he was sighing because the Zhuge family's attack was not going well, or because the thousand-year-old tradition was lost. "Are you really going to do this?" Fei Lao had a question in his heart. The pen spirit is a literati, elegant and calm thing, but now it has become a weapon for killing. Could it be that it has betrayed the master of the pen mound? Did you mean it? Old Fei could only hide these doubts in his heart, he would never question the Patriarch's decision.And he is the commander on the scene now, any hesitation and hesitation will harm his people. "Reserve team." Old man Fei said without answering.Immediately behind him, four men straightened their backs, "Go to Qingxiang Lane inwards from Wei's Ancestral Hall, the straight line there is the closest to the Cangbi Cave. You assist in the assault along the way and open that passage as soon as possible. the most important." "clear." The four people bowed in response, and then left quickly.They are all able-bodied officers carefully trained by Fei Lao. They are named after the four seasons, even in Zhuge's family, few people know about them. The pen spirits of these four people are all sentient beings, but these four pen spirits were collectively known as the Four Masters during their lifetime, and their temperaments are naturally similar.In addition, the four of them grew up together since childhood, cooperated tacitly, and were very good at group combat.Fighting alone may not be the opponent of ordinary Shenhui Bizhong officials, but if four people fight against four Shenhui Bizhong officials, the chance of victory is more than 90%. The four of them got Lao Fei's instruction, ignored the officials of the two pen graves who were fighting desperately on both sides, and went straight to Qingxiang Lane.After repelling several desperate Wei family members along the way, the four of them soon arrived at the entrance of Qingxiang Alley. The alley was very narrow, only a well-dressed young girl stayed in place, leaning against the wall with her knees half folded.She has a beautiful face, but her small face is covered with dust, and her eyes are staring blankly into the distance without any focus. The leader, Zhuge Chun, glanced at the girl and found that there was no trace of the spirit of the pen on her body, so he didn't take it to heart, and told the other three brothers: "Move her away, let's move on." At this time, the girl slowly raised her head and said with a serious face: "Don't go any further, the melody of crisis has already sounded." How could the four brothers listen, and as they were about to leave, the girl said anxiously: "I It’s true, although I can’t see it, I can hear the bells of the end of the world, and if you move forward, terrible things will happen.” "Are all the members of the Wei family so crazy?" Zhuge Dong, the fourth child, sneered. Zhuge Chun frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Don't waste your time here." The girl didn't know where the courage came from, she hugged the third brother Zhuge Qiu's thigh, and begged sadly: "What I said is true, you can't do this anymore. I can't take it anymore, the melody is too fast , will break..." "Damn it, get out!" Zhuge Qiu raised his leg impatiently and kicked the girl away. The girl fell to the ground limply, a trace of blood seemed to flow from the corner of her mouth.She didn't care to wipe it, covered her ears with her hands, and shook her head in pain. The second child, Zhuge Xia, couldn't bear it, and said to Zhuge Chun, "Third brother, this is a bit too much, isn't it?" Zhuge Chun said: "Old Fei's order comes first, don't worry about the others, let's go." Zhuge Xia hesitated for a moment, threw a handkerchief to the girl, and then turned around with his three brothers to leave. At some point, another figure appeared in Qingxiang Alley. "Hey, do you know that beating a woman is the second lowest thing?" The four brothers of Zhuge's family felt relieved immediately when they saw that there was only one other person, and it was a young man with a greasy hair and a pink face.Although he knew that the other party was deliberately provoking, Zhuge Qiu couldn't help asking: "Then what is the first low-level one?" "Of course he just walked away after beating the woman." The young man pointed at Zhuge Qiu and said coldly. Zhuge Qiu grinned, and said disdainfully: "Then what do you want?" The four of them have already seen that this young man is also a pen official, but he is alone, and there is nothing to be afraid of. The young man said: "You shouldn't ask me, but you should ask this lady." After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the girl. When the girl heard his voice, she was stunned for a moment, then struggled to get up, identified the direction, and threw herself into his arms. "Brother Yan!" "Ran Ran?" Yan Zheng was taken aback. He was also caught in the melee in Neizhuang just now, and he finally got out.He didn't know where the hidden pen hole was, so he had to walk around. He accidentally saw a girl being bullied here, and felt sympathetic, but he didn't expect that she was Wei Rongyu's younger sister, Wei Rongran.Ranran was frightened for a long time, exhausted physically and mentally, grabbed Yan Zheng's arm and couldn't help crying. Yan Zheng touched her head, and said softly, "My chest is wide enough to let you cry with peace of mind. The fortune teller said that I have the destiny to protect flowers." "I heard the death knell..." Ran Ran sobbed. Although she doesn't have a pen, but as a blind person, she has a special function, which can transform changes in the surrounding environment and expectations for the short-term future into music.The urgent one means crisis, the soothing one means safety, and different melodies herald different fates.Yan Zheng hugged her even tighter. "Don't listen to those things, you should only hear laughter and laughter." Yan Zheng murmured, and suddenly took out a dagger from his bosom, and stabbed it into Lianran's chest.
