Chapter 2 Chapter Two Shamanhua

After climbing to the top of the east city, the five hundred mobs dispersed and formed two teams, and the presiding officer of the ceremony, Taibu Shuling, handed over a bright scimitar. As soon as the knife was in his hand, a satisfied smile flashed in Bai Yu's eyes behind the mask.Young Master Shu Ye took a look at Huo Qinglei, who was acting as the commander of the Grand Prophet, and nodded slightly—as expected of a general in Dunhuang City, the sword he chose was a famous sword from Damascus.The knife is like autumn water, and the cold gray knife has a special fine pattern, which is called "镔铁" in the Central Plains.Because the forging method has not been obtained so far, anyone who has it is regarded as a treasure.As soon as you get your hands on it, you know it's a good knife.

The captured Mingjiao believers have been escorted to the top of the city, kneeling in front of them in a row.The atmosphere of the festival reached its climax, and everyone was cheering, wanting to kill these demon cultists.Those ragged believers saw the young master drawing a knife and staring at him with cold eyes. They all knew that the catastrophe was coming soon, but they stopped crying. An elderly man took the lead and sat cross-legged, raising his hands to his chest, forming flame-like handprints , whispering a prayer to the west. "How happy is life?" The leading Ming Cultist, with pale beard and hair, just opened his mouth to say a word, the light of the knife passed by, his head rolled off, and his lips opened and closed.The knife is as bright as water, without a trace of blood.Holding a knife and staring coldly, looking at this group of demon cultists who will never realize their will, the eyes behind the white jade mask are suddenly filled with disgust: Do these people really think that if they die for Mingzun, they can go to the paradise of heaven? ... That "benevolent father" actually recruited so many blind and ignorant followers!

"Why bother to die?" The oldest believer died, and the second sentence was immediately read by the follower. The believer's lips trembled slightly, and his voice trembled a little. In the end, he refused to ask for mercy—the same without hesitation.The light of the knife passed by, and blood spattered out. Huo Qinglei ordered two soldiers to grab the bloody head and throw it forcefully outside the city, symbolizing that the demons were driven out by the Nuo ceremony.The bloody light splashed towards the east, drawing two arcs, and the people in the city cheered loudly, and the sound shook the outside of the city.The camel caravan that was just about to enter the city couldn't dodge in time, the faces of the first few people were stained with blood, and all the merchants had trembling expressions on their faces.

"Have pity on my people, there are so many sorrows!" The leaders were all dead, and the group of Ming Cultists simply spoke together, recited the last two lines aloud, closed their eyes together, and waited for the knife to strike, "Pity me, the world, there are many sorrows!" "Evil devils and evildoers, are you still obsessed with obsession?" The dark blue eyes suddenly condensed, and a sentence of anger was uttered from the back of the mask, and he was chopped off with a single knife.At that moment, lightning suddenly rose from the city, illuminating the city wall made of loess!

Feeling the extremely fierce murderous aura coming, the young master Shu Ye turned his wrist, and the scimitar stood upright, and there was a "ding" sound of metal and iron striking, and he only felt a slight shock in his wrist.A golden arrow landed on the city wall, and the shape of flames was carved on it, which was extremely beautiful.The body shook slightly, and the eyes behind the mask just swept away, and suddenly they were as bright as ice and snow! "Who?" Everyone in the city was shocked and looked back. In the turret on the west side, a yellow shirt appeared at some time, and the face could not be seen clearly, but it was an old woman's voice, which was heard clearly in the violent sand wind and resounded throughout the city: "Da Holy Maiden of the Star of the Bright Palace, I salute Shu Ye, the lord of Dunhuang City—Ming Zun passed away, what is the crime of instructing the people? Slaughtering innocents is a heinous crime. If you don’t let go of the butcher knife, you will eventually become a demon!"

"Evil Cult evildoer!" There was an uproar in the city and the city, and the people and merchants looked at the figure on the turret with fear on their faces. "It's Miaoshui, the elder of the 'Five Mingzis' of the Ming Sect." Huo Qinglei, who was standing behind him, suddenly reminded him in a low voice, his eyes were serious, "This old woman was defeated by the young master three months ago, and escaped with injuries, but now she has the courage to return?— —Young Master! Maybe she went back to the Persian General Forum to ask for help, and the Demon Cult masters coming this time may not be easy, so you have to be careful."

It seems that he didn't listen to the reminder from his subordinates behind him. At the moment when he saw the little golden arrow coming, Young Master Shu Ye's eyes suddenly widened, and he was a little dazed.He subconsciously raised his hand and pressed it to his chest, as if a fire was burning there. —Is it finally here?The moment he saw the arrow coming through the sky, there was a smile in the eyes behind the white jade mask, as if expected, as if despair and joy.He blurted out and whispered: "Shamanhua!" But on the one hand, he just shook his wrist slightly, and before he finished speaking, he slashed at the group of Ming Cultists again. "Shua!" Sure enough, another ray of white light came, and it hit the blade before he chopped off the head of the cultist, shaking it away.

The force was so wonderful—his saber was shaken away, and the tip of the arrow deflected slightly and shot through the iron shackles on the cultist's hand with a single turn.The eyes of the Mingjiao believer who had regained his freedom showed surprise, he jumped up, kowtowed to the west and bowed: "Welcome to the saint! Welcome to the west!" The moment he yelled that sentence, ten bolts of lightning shot up over the city of Dunhuang, weaving into a dense net! Young Master Shu Ye slashed at the remaining ten disciples without a break.In the turret to the west, ten bolts of lightning also burst through the sky, like a gust of wind.The knives and arrows clashed, bursting out brilliant light.After ten flashes of lightning, the shackles of the last believer were also released, and he fled toward the west corner building recklessly.

After a round of confrontation, Young Master Shu Ye was not in a hurry to chase those fleeing Mingjiao believers, but just stood on the top of the city and looked in the direction of the turret, turning his wrist indifferently - with a slight shock, the Damascus scimitar, which is said to be a sharp weapon in the world, Suddenly the pieces shattered. Thirteen arrows, what an astonishing power that is, enough to crush all sharp weapons!Sure enough, her archery has improved again. At the beginning of the fierce battle, the people who gathered on the top of the city to watch the ceremony scattered in all directions and fled in all directions. The narrow steps of the city wall could not accommodate so many people, so they rolled down one after another like this.Only the five hundred gangsters stood there motionless, led by Huo Qinglei, waiting for orders without any disturbance.

"Take off the mask! Let's fight!" Huo Qinglei yelled, and the five hundred disciples suddenly raised their hands together, took off the mask worn in the ceremony, and removed the loose cassock—the five hundred disciples who were singing and dancing in the ceremony , are all elite fighters from the Dunhuang Shenwu Army.All the masks were thrown on the ground, and there was a sound of shattering one after another, but Young Master Shu Ye was still wearing the white jade mask that he wore when he was a wizard. A moment of silence.Young Master Shu Ye suddenly threw away the shattered knife in his hand, and laughed loudly in the city: "Go on! Is there any more? I know you only carry thirteen arrows—" Before the voice finished, the white clothes flickered, Young Master Shu Ye rushed forward like a gust of wind, cut the throat of a fleeing believer with a snip of his finger, blood shot out like an arrow, and laughed again: "Come on, show me your fourteenth arrow ! Shamanhua!"

A wisp of murderous aura shot out in response to the sound, so fast that even his eyesight couldn't detect it! Young Master Shu Ye was shocked suddenly, and without looking at the situation, he turned around, stretched out his hand out of thin air, and put his fingers together - under the finger of Jingshen, Jin Tie made a decisive decision.There was a cracking sound out of thin air, and the strong wind was cut off, but his hand was empty, only a strand of blood flowed from the cut finger. "A colorless arrow?" The eyes behind the white jade mask finally changed slightly, and he blurted out in surprise. Miaoshui, an old woman in yellow shirt on the turret, had been standing there watching the battle, and now she spoke again, her voice becoming more murderous: "The Holy Maiden of the Star pays tribute to the Lord of Dunhuang again, please let me teach the people and let me teach you to go east. No offense to each other .” "Kill me, and you can go east from Dunhuang." The young master Shu Ye coldly flung out the blood from his hand, looked at the turret, his eyes gradually turned ice, and waved his hand suddenly ordered, "Unless you step on my corpse to go over and kill me!" Dunhuang is razed to the ground, so you can go to the poisonous Central Plains! Otherwise, I will burn every evildoer I see to death!" Following the city lord's gesture and Huo Qinglei's order, five hundred soldiers unsheathed their swords and immediately surrounded the dozen or so fleeing Ming Cultists.The city was narrow and there was no way to escape, but in a blink of an eye those few Ming Cultists who had just escaped from death were surrounded again, some of them knew some martial arts quite well, grabbed the sword with their bare hands, and started fighting with the soldiers. Huo Qinglei glanced at the young master Shu Ye, the young master raised a hand and slightly bent his fingers. "Shoot the arrow!" Huo Qinglei ordered, shouted loudly, and pointed at the western turret.The meaning of the city lord is to shoot this Miaoshui who is rushing forward, together with the mysterious leader in the turret behind her - the city head is narrow, there is not much room for maneuver, and the old woman in the yellow shirt is in mid-air, and there is no way to dodge it .Once the young master has murderous intentions, he will be extremely ruthless. Five hundred crossbows were opened, and the pitch-black sharp arrows whizzed off the strings, shooting at the fleeing believers. "Shua!" At that moment, there was a whistling sound from the turret, as if some sharp weapon came through the air! All the sergeants looked up at the sky in horror—but there was nothing.It's just that a strange scene appeared out of thin air: like an invisible sword falling down, the yellow sand in the midair gave way one after another, giving way in unison.As if an invisible force suddenly approached, the arrows flying towards the turret suddenly slowed down at a speed visible to the human eye! "Shua!" There was another whistling sound from the turret, and the flying arrows all over the sky slowed down again, and then slowed down a third time.In the end, all the arrows suddenly lost their aim and collided with each other. "Lianzhu Divine Crossbow?!" Young Master Shu Ye's eyes changed drastically, he waved his hand abruptly, and ordered sharply, "Back to the city!" Young Master Shu Ye flipped his wrist, and there was a crystal clear long sword - that was his usual sword. The sword that is rarely used: Chengying.Seeing the sword coming out, Huo Qinglei finally realized the crisis at this moment, shouted sharply and restrained his subordinates: "Back to the city! Back to the city!" However, it was too late. The white light in the turret flew over the city like a ball, and the whistling sound was like dense rain.When the white light leaped closer, everyone realized that it was actually a snow-white lion!Sitting on the lion is a beautiful woman, wearing a crown decorated with gold leaves and wearing a white robe with a dark wide border on the neckline and front, embroidered with intricate red flowers—that is the blooming manjusawa. Sure enough, as Young Master Shu Ye expected, the quiver on her back was already empty.The woman in white is holding a silver bow, but there is no arrow on the bow. She just hooks her hands and draws the bowstring empty-handed, and keeps making arrow gestures—it’s just a gesture.However, the strange thing is that every time she let go of her hand, it was as if an invisible sharp arrow shot out from the silver bow, and the yellow sand in the mid-air retreated as if cut open by a sharp blade! The hundreds of arrows shot by the sergeant towards the turret were still flying in the air, but the woman riding the white lion leaped towards her, stretched her arms and bent her bow. In just a moment, she completed thousands of bow-bending and arrow-shooting gestures. The invisible "arrow" immediately filled the whole world.It seemed that two arrows were hitting each other, and the hundreds of bronze arrows with carved feathers that were shot out broke like straws and fell to the ground in an instant. After the invisible arrow broke the long arrow, it continued to hit the soldiers who were retreating urgently.People fell down in rows, shouting.Those who were injured by the invisible arrow had very different injuries: some had their chests torn apart and gave off a scorched smell; some had pale faces, as if covered with ice.The yellow sand in mid-air condensed into a bunch, writhing like a yellow dragon. Where the invisible energy passed, those ordinary soldiers couldn't see it at all, and they couldn't hide in time, so they screamed and screamed. However, at that moment, a blue light curtain enveloped the city. Young Master Shu Ye suddenly drew his sword, and slashed against the wind in the void.The white clothes walked through the flying sand like lightning, and the sharp sword in his hand swept horizontally and slashed into the void.The sword was only three feet long, but the strong sword energy emitted from the sword cut off the invisible arrows in the air in an instant!The moment the sword tip collided with Qi Jin, the brilliance radiated, and the yellow sand in mid-air was violently twisted, and the grains shot onto Young Master Shu Ye's white jade mask. "Fire-crying golden arrows? Transformation-killing arrows? - Good, good! Although there are no arrows on the bow, one arrow in your heart can turn ten thousand arrows." Young Master Shu Ye suddenly laughed loudly, with a complicated look on his face, "Sha Manhua, you finally Have practiced a full set of colorless arrows? No wonder the king dares to send you to Dunhuang!" The ball-like white light froze suddenly, and the white lion stepped on the female wall and stopped on the city wall, roaring in a low voice.The woman on the white lion drew the string of the silver bow with her fingers, but stopped there, her blue eyes looked at him for a moment, as if she wanted to see the real face behind the white jade mask.After a while, he finally hesitated and asked, "Who are you? You seem to have expected that I would come? You also know that my Christian name is Sha Manhua?... How do you know about Colorless Arrow?" "I am the Lord of Dunhuang City." With a deep sneer in his eyes, he put away his sword and looked at the woman fixedly, "You don't have to think about it, you know that the king will send you here: the demon sect was besieged by the government and the opposition in the Central Plains, and the former allies The Moon Worship Sect in Southern Xinjiang is standing by, the situation is critical. And you can't go to the Central Plains to support through Dunhuang, and even Wu Mingzi has failed, so the general altar has to send three saints, right?" After a pause, Young Master Shu Ye continued to sneer: "Among the three saintesses of 'Sun, Moon and Star', Susan, the sun saint, is the eldest princess of Persia. As the godmother of the state religion in Huihe; then this time, the youngest star saintess Sha Manhua can only come here. Besides, among the three saintesses, you are the only one who has the highest attainment in martial arts." "..." The woman on the white lion was obviously stunned. Unexpectedly, this person knew everything about the sect, "How do you know?" "I know far more things than you can imagine." Young Master Shu Ye smiled and replied coldly, "I know everything that happened in the beginning, middle and end. The past, the present, and the future, I know. " "Nonsense, only Mingzun has such power." Sha Manhua retorted, suddenly slightly surprised, "The first stage, the middle stage, and the later stage? Hey, you also know the teachings of our Mingjiao? who?" "I am Young Master Shu Ye." The white-clothed young man on the top of the city replied again, "Dunhuang City Master Shu Ye." "Young Master Shu Ye...Young Master Shu Ye... I haven't heard of this name before." The woman on the white lion pondered slightly, and suddenly felt a twitch in her forehead, and her brain began to ache.He finally shook his head: "My loving father sent me east to the Central Plains to replace the dead leader Xiao Yunhe. He told me: The Lord of Dunhuang is a villain who blasphemed and trampled on Mingzun, and I need to use colorless arrows to smash Dunhuang and go east. Central Plains, save those Christians who are besieged by the emperor and the Orthodox Church. Why do you insist on being an enemy of my Ming Cult?" "If I don't become an enemy of your demon sect, should I let you go eastward and poison the Central Plains? Let you turn more innocent children into killers in the Shura field, and turn more ignorant people into citizens?" Young Master Shu Ye laughed loudly, with extreme anger in his eyes. He raised his sword and pointed at the charred corpses on the burning rack in the city. Your 'loving father'!" "Evil!" Sha Manhua frowned, and shot out an invisible arrow in his hand. The arrow's air split the white jade mask on Young Master Shu Ye's face into seven pieces, but he didn't move.At the moment when the mask burst, his blue eyes stared directly at the silver-bow Shamanhua, not for a moment, as if he wanted to catch every look on the woman's face at that moment. However, at the moment when the mask suddenly cracked, the Star Maiden did not show the slightest expression, only the concentrated expression when she was concentrating on her luck.The white lion continued roaring and jumping on the top of the city. The woman on the lion bent her bow and fired arrows, and countless vigor and vigor roared towards him, surrounding him.And at that moment, he seemed to lose his mind. Standing in the core of the storm, he actually forgot to draw his sword. "My lord!" Among the many people in the city, only Huo Qinglei could see the power of the invisible arrow, and blurted out in surprise, "Draw your sword!" The arrow hadn't reached his body yet, but the wind of the arrow seemed to freeze the scorching air around him into ice, piercing his body with thousands of sharp auras, but looking at the figure of the woman flying over the city with arrows from afar, Young Master Shu Ye felt suddenly A Frostbolt pierced through his heart and lungs.That impassive, indifferent face— Don't even remember anything?He waited in Dunhuang for ten years, but she didn't remember anything? ! "Young master! Young master!" Huo Qinglei screamed hurriedly under the city, "Quickly draw your sword!" "My lord, draw your sword!" The general's anxiety infected the soldiers beside him, and all the people in the city exclaimed together, and the voice resounded throughout the desert, "My lord, draw your sword!" At the last moment when he was forced to shoot from all around, he suddenly let out a long cry, and the Yingying Sword soared above the city like lightning. Seventy-four swords—she shot seventy-four arrows, and he sealed seventy-four swords, cutting off every strand of arrow energy.When she shot the arrow, she used eight kinds of vigor, and he used eight kinds of swordsmanship to defeat them one by one.The white clothes walked through the sky full of arrows at the top of the city, moving like a gust of wind and lightning, but it didn't hurt at all. In the end, the white lion stopped and kept roaring, while the woman on the back of the white lion held her strings and looked at him in shock: "No one has ever been able to catch my arrow. Who are you?" She was extremely surprised: "Eight different sword techniques were used!" "Hahahaha... It seems that your memory is not good, but your eyesight is not bad." Young Master Shu Ye suddenly laughed, looked at Sha Manhua's shocked face in the distance, and looked coldly, "Can you guess where I am? One faction?" Sha Manhua frowned and pondered, and did not answer for a long time, then suddenly put away the silver bow, crossed his hands in front of his chest, as if embracing the full moon, and slowly made a posture of drawing the bow in emptiness.That arrow was no more rapid than the previous round of heavy rain, with extremely slow movements and long breaths, but I don't know if it was an illusion, but a faint silver gleam appeared in the woman's empty hands! When the arrow came, the young master Shu Ye could hear the sound of the yellow sand being pierced one by one - in an extremely short moment, he saw that all the wind and sand within ten feet of the city had stopped. Moon Ice Gale Arrow? !The highest state of the colorless arrow! Young Master Shu Ye suddenly shouted at the soldiers and people in the city: "Back off! Back off ten feet!" At the moment when Huo Qinglei led the army to retreat, he swung his sword again—exhausted all his strength, disregarding any school of fancy swordsmanship, and only sent out a sword!The sword light spewed out from the tip of the sword, and Chengying uttered a long-lost terrifying roar in his palm, as if he wanted to open up everything between heaven and earth—but that sword was only opened in the void where the sand and dust were condensed. A sudden white light rises from the top of Dunhuang City, spreads, and the yellow sand splashes in an instant, shooting down the city. The tiny grains of sand intercepted by the arrows are like sharp arrows, and they are like sharp arrows, shooting those who are retreating. The sergeant stabbed blood all over his face! The girl on the white lion let go, the arrow seemed to have exhausted her true energy, she lowered her head and panted slightly, fine beads of sweat emerged from her forehead.The white lion also seemed to be forced by the counterattack force of the arrow, and took a few steps back, almost falling from the top of the wall. On the other side, taking advantage of the chaos in the city at this moment, Elder Miaoshui led the dozen or so believers to break through the siege, passed through the east gate and rushed into the desert.Taking a breath at this moment, the old woman took the time to look back at the battle situation at the top of the city, but she was also surprised--is it already a fight to the death after a face-to-face meeting?And the Star Maiden... is actually at a disadvantage? Sha Manhua, the star saintess who is number one in martial arts in the Ming Cult, was unable to defeat the Dunhuang city lord even though she tried her best?The king's worries finally came true: No one in the Ming Cult could deal with that kid who betrayed him in the Asura field! Could it be that he really wants to ask for support from the Moon Maiden Menia, who is far away in Huihe? "Iron Horse Glacier? The inner strength method you use is Iron Horse Glacier!" Sha Manhua on the white lion was silent for a while, and then blurted out in surprise—in such a blow with all his strength, no one can hide his most original strength. Martial arts, however, what the Dunhuang city lord in front of him used was...!There was an incredible light in her azure blue eyes, and she stared blankly at the man holding a sword against the wind at the top of the city: "This is the secret code of our Mingjiao sacred fire order! How could you do it? You, are you..." "That's right, I came out of the Asura Field." Young Master Shu Ye suddenly smiled, turned his wrist and retracted his sword, "Ten years ago." "Sura field?" Those three words made Sha Manhua suddenly have a splitting headache. She subconsciously put her hands on the back of her head and muttered, "The field of Shura in the main altar of the Great Bright Palace? Ten years ago...Kunlun?" "Yes. Kunlun Snow Region. Da Guangming Palace. Asura Field." Young Master Shu Ye suddenly smiled, but that smile was filled with unspeakable bitterness, "After Mo Xiang and I left there, we have been separated for ten years. It is a great honor to see the Star Maiden Shamanhua again." Looking at his smile, Sha Manhua felt a vague shocking feeling, and felt that three golden needles suddenly pierced in his head, piercing into the deepest part of his heart.She suddenly felt suffocated, pressed the back of her head with her hands, felt the pulse of blood under her hair, and her eyes began to waver: "You, you said you came out of the Shura field?...Why...I haven't seen you ?” The young master Shu Ye smiled again, with deep eyes, watching the woman on the white lion pressing her head with her hands in pain, with a slight air of cold air leaking from between her teeth: "It's so pitiful... Is your brain sealed by a golden needle? Your loving father It's really kind." Because of the severe pain, Shamanhua groped and pressed the three cold hard metals behind his head— along the middle seam of the hairline, three long needles were nailed to the Baihui, Yuzhen and Fufeng points in sequence , hidden under the hair, impressively terrifying. That was the beginning of all her memories—since she had memories, there were three long needles like this on her head, nailing everything into the empty memories.Since she was a young girl, when combing her hair, the ivory comb often broke on the nails under her hair. She once looked into the mirror and whispered in the hair gap, but she couldn't remember anything. "Ten years ago... I should have been sixteen years old. I don't remember anything before that." She murmured, with a splitting headache, "Do I know you?... In the Mingjiao General Altar in Kunlun Snow Mountain? Asura Field... ...Sura field. That is the place where the sect trains killers! You, are you the killer I teach?...But why don't I know you..." "You probably don't recognize me anymore—but your bow and arrow must still recognize me." Young Master Shu Ye laughed suddenly, his arm trembled, and the snow bear fur cloak fell to the ground without a sound. I was nailed to death with an arrow on the cliff at the back of the 'paradise'—forgot?" When the fingers fell, the skirt of the clothes fell apart.On the solid jade chest, there is a huge brown scar! "Ah!" Seeing the shocking wound, Sha Manhua blurted out as if he had been strongly stimulated, and the silver bow in his hand fell to the city wall, "Ah...this is, this is, you!...Ahhh what!" She suddenly hugged her head uncontrollably and cried out in surprise, the elegant and calm demeanor of a moment ago was gone. "Flying light! Flying light!" Seeing that the situation on the top of the city is not good, Miao Shui, the elder under the city, spoke decisively from the bottom of the city at this moment, calling for the white lion, "Bring the saint back quickly!" Frightened by the master's gaffe, the white lion jumped down as soon as he heard the elder's call, and fled back to the outside of the city like a gust of lightning, joining the Ming Cultists.A line of yellow dust rolled away towards the west. Young Master Shu Ye didn't move, he also stopped his army from going out of the city to intercept, and let the group go away. "Mo Xiang, as you expected, I finally saw her again. Although she doesn't remember me anymore." Looking at the Mingjiao troops who disappeared into the desert, the Lord of Dunhuang murmured the name of a partner, with a smile on his lips. Sneered, "The day you escaped from the Asura Field, you told me: As long as I stick to Dunhuang and resist Mingjiao, I will see her again one day."
