Chapter 401 Chapter 6: Escape through injury

Everything seems to stand still, including the passage of time without distinction of day and night, like a dry desert with no life. The scorching heat of the air continued to increase. Such an imposing manner is really appalling to the extreme. Dazhi suddenly arched his back slightly, his eyes became brighter, he saw that his hand was approaching, and suddenly someone raised his voice: "Daozhi used only the 'sand tricks' for several times in the past, but this time he only used a few tricks Together, let us open our eyes, is there a special reason?" Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and all the princelings and concubines cursed in their hearts, and the speakers made it clear that they were pretending to be Xu Ziling.

Whether it is a decisive victory on the battlefield with thousands of troops, or a competition between masters, it is all about fighting with one effort.Dazhi is ready to go, if he is interrupted, after the momentum is frustrated, the next move will of course be affected. Everyone followed the sound and saw that the speaker was the chief minister on the right, Feng Deyi, Li Yuan's favorite minister. People on Li Shimin's side were all surprised. Feng Deyi had always had a close relationship with Li Jiancheng and was regarded as the backbone of the princeling party. Xu Ziling was also puzzled, no matter how much Feng Deyi valued and liked him, he would not risk offending the princelings and concubines to help him.

However, this is not a life-and-death battle, it is just a contest before the court, no one can blame Feng Deyi. Li Yuan, the war supervisor, smiled and said nothing, and others dared not object. Da Zhi smiled calmly, still maintaining a strong momentum, fixed his eyes on Xu Ziling, and replied in a deep voice: "With such a rare opponent as Brother Mo, how dare Da Zhi cherish himself with his broom, of course he must fight with all his strength." Li Jiancheng and the others immediately gasped in their hearts. Da Dazhi's words were superficially modest, but deep down they were arrogant, implying that the masters of the Tiance Mansion in the past were not yet qualified to force him to use his full strength.

If he can defeat Xu Ziling this time, everyone will feel that the Tiance Mansion has no opponent that can stand up to him. Xu Ziling said indifferently: "Thank you, Brother Ke, for your kindness. Please give me the trick." Da Zhi's tongue burst into spring thunder, and with a loud shout, the Kuangsha knife behind him appeared magically in front of him. With a very mysterious and strange technique, he walked with the knife and struck towards Xu Ziling. Kou Zhong was worried about Xu Ziling for the first time, and he had an unpredictable and profound feeling for Kodazhi. The reason for him to re-evaluate Dazhi is that although Dazhi was distracted to answer Feng Deyi's words, his momentum not only remained unchanged, but also increased, showing his strong fighting spirit and perseverance. Spirit, but also showed his bottomless skill.Kou Zhong asked himself that he may not be able to reach this state.

Xu Ziling was the first to bear the brunt and felt the opponent's pressure more clearly. He almost gave up the long sword in his hand, and used his good seal technique to block the three sabers that he made public in advance. Of course he couldn't do this, so he had to put all the distracting thoughts out of his mind, secretly pinch the fundamental method, and use his whole body strength to cope with the opponent's sharp sword technique using the Scroll of Sand Jue. The Kuangsha Knife drew a wave-like trajectory in the void, "rolling" towards Xu Ziling with endless changes.

Although it is a single knife, it is composed of more than ten continuous waves. Each wave, time and angle of attack have subtle changes. Powerless. Xu Ziling was also frowning. Just now, he was able to keep his head under Dazhi's sand-rolling knife tactic. It was all due to the method of taking advantage of his strength, but Dazhi was obviously aiming at his "strength". The knife that was sent out was a clever way to force him to fight when there was nothing to be unloaded and nothing to borrow. The most troublesome thing is that Kodazhi had used the opportunity to lock him when he was ready to go. If he used the earlier method of dodging first and then attacking, he would only avoid one stab, but not the second. Under the traction, he was defeated by the opponent in one fell swoop.

Only now did he know that there are no worthless men under the great name, Da Dazhi is indeed a young master of the same level as Ba Fenghan, Yang Xuyan, and Hou Xibai. Xu Ziling scolded in a low voice, the electric switch floated forward, the long sword first bent outward, and then went to meet Dazhi. "when"! The sword struck together like two bolts of lightning. The long sword should be broken by the knife. More than half of the people in the hall cried out in surprise. Li Jing raised his hand and struck the small bronze bell on the table, but it was too late to stop the bloody tragedy that was about to happen.

After cutting off the long sword with Dazhi's Kuangsha Dao, he slashed at Xu Ziling's chest head-to-head. Seeing that he couldn't take back the daring knife, Xu Ziling buckled the broken sword, but miraculously pressed his thumb on the edge of the knife. "when"! The armistice bell rang. Xu Ziling fluttered in response to the sword, and the kite with a broken string fell about Zhang Xu away. When it landed, it seemed to be slightly staggered, and it was only when it was able to stand still. Da Zhi retracted his knife and backed away, his eyes shot a strange light, he looked at Xu Ziling unblinkingly, and there was a hint of horror in his eyes.

Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. Even Li Jiancheng didn't want to see his subordinates bleed to death on such a festive occasion. The main hall was still silent, waiting for Li Yuan's judgment. Li Yuan applauded and praised him personally, which immediately attracted the approval of the whole hall, with endless applause. Li Yuan said with a long smile: "Good! Good! The competition between the two Qing families is indeed brilliant and breathtaking." Da Dazhi and Xu Ziling knelt down to thank each other. Li Yuan looked around the audience, smiled happily and said, "Your swordsmanship is unsurpassed, and Mo Qing's swordsmanship is also extraordinary. It's a pity that the sword is ordinary iron, and it is not a crime of war. I will make a tie. Who has any objection?" ?”

Of course, no one disagrees with the judgment made by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and the head of the Li Clan. Li Yuan said again: "The king of Qin will reward Keqing with ten taels of gold, and the Crown Prince will give Mo Qing a sword." Xu Ziling and Dazhi thanked each other at the same time. All the people in the hall applauded. This can be said to be an attempt by Li Yuan, hoping to calm down the dispute between the two sons. Kou Zhong leaned closer to Shang Xiufang's ear and said, "See you tomorrow!" Then he stood up, and under the attention of the crowd, he came to the middle of the two people in the center of the hall.

Li Yuan looked at him in amazement, Kou Zhong kowtowed and said: "If the villain can heal the eyes correctly, Mo Weizong suffered internal injuries due to the broken sword, he must find a quiet place and let the villain administer the needle himself, otherwise there will be endless troubles. The emperor is aware." Li Yuan's concerned eyes fell on Xu Ziling, who cooperated seamlessly and said: "The genius doctor is very accurate." All the people in the hall praised at the same time. Looking at it from such a distance, they can see clearly that Xu Ziling has suffered from an internal ulcer. Who could do it unless he has medical skills like a god like Kou Zhong? Wei Zhengxing, known as Huo Huatuo, almost hid under the table. The people on Li Jiancheng's side couldn't help but laugh.Kou Zhong's move indirectly pointed out that Xu Ziling played Mo Weishi as a big loser, which added to Da Zhi's prestige.But if this enemy whose martial arts are not far behind Dazhi is cured, there will be endless troubles.However, Kou Zhong, who is a doctor with a parental heart and always gives people a confused impression, seems not to understand the situation of the factional struggle in Chang'an, and even Li Jiancheng couldn't bear to blame him for being troublesome. Li Shimin stood up and said: "There is an answer from Lao Mo's wonderful hand, and take care of Teacher Mo. Please give me permission from the emperor." Xu Ziling, Kou Zhongxin and Li Shimin finally saw through their identities, thanked them and left in a hurry. Every household in Chang'an City was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the sound of firecrackers continued one after another. When the two left the palace, they both had the relaxed feeling of the dragon returning to the sea and the tiger returning to the forest. Squeezing into the flow of people on the street, you can feel the lively atmosphere of New Year's Eve even more.The two largest Lantern Night Markets are held in the East and West cities respectively, and most of the people on the street are destined for the two cities.Boys and girls wandered around in groups to their heart's content, which reminded the two of them of celebrating the New Year in Yangzhou. Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Our two brothers will finally be able to walk side by side on Chang'an Avenue in a big way. There is nothing more unpredictable in the world than this." Xu Ziling smiled and said: "There is still half an hour before the agreed meeting with Mr. Hou, so genius doctor Mo may be interested in enjoying the local attractions." Kou Zhong knew that he was not just sightseeing, so he happily said, "Why can't a villain follow me?" Xu Ziling led him towards the direction of the Yuema Bridge. In the "Bang Bang" group, no one pointed the fireworks in the air, bursting a series of gorgeous colorful awn patterns, as fantastic as a dream. Kou Zhong sighed: "Since Sui Niang left Yangzhou, we feel like we have never celebrated the New Year, so the feeling tonight is particularly strong." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Do you think of your Zhizhi?" Kou Zhong said dejectedly: "I've seen it through again. The last time my little brother was tortured by lovesickness was on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, which made me abandon everything and go to Lingnan to find her. I wonder if the festive season will make people miss her?" Recalling the moving scene of meeting Shi Qingxuan in Chengdu at that festival, Xu Ziling couldn't help sighing. Kou Zhong put his hands on his broad shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Who do you think of?" Xu Ziling changed the subject, and said, "Everyone's past is just a heavy burden, so it's better not to mention it. This kid Dazhi really has a knack for knives. Are you sure you can beat him?" Bi Zhong pondered for a while, then said: "It's very hard to say, when he confronted you just now, because he insisted on dividing life and death, he still had some strength left, if he really went all out, it would be even more difficult to deal with." The Yuema Bridge is in sight, and the streets are full of boys and girls setting off fireworks and firecrackers, creating a lively atmosphere. Kou Zhong said again: "If there is a chance to fight hard with him, it must be a joy in life." Xu Ziling suddenly stepped forward and said, "It's here!" Kou Zhong glanced around and found that he was standing outside the gate of a temple.The temple is not large in scale, but it is obviously full of incense. At this time, the middle gate is wide open, and there are many people who come to make wishes and pray for blessings. Kou Zhong was startled and said: "This is Wulou Temple, built in the eighth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, is it related to the treasure house?" Xu Ziling pulled him into the gate of the temple, and said: "From the ingenious structure and layout of the temple, I feel that this temple is most likely designed by Master Lu. If my younger brother's eyes are correct, the entrance to Duke Yang's treasury should be somewhere in the temple. " Kou Zhong's spirit was lifted, and he sighed again: "I only regret that I can't move an inch now, and we will come to explore the road tomorrow night." Xu Ziling also agreed that in the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to find a tunnel, and said with a smile: "I won't say that I am not enough brothers!" Kou Zhong compensated and said with a smile, "Little brother, how dare you." At this moment, the two of them arrived at the foot of the white stone steps of the Daxiong Palace, and the sound of fanchant came from inside the hall, it should be that the ceremony was going on. Kou Zhongdao: "Would you like to go to the hall to feel the internal structure of the building, and see if it is really Master Lu's style with your insightful eyes?" Xu Ziling smiled and said, "My little brother has exactly that intention." After a lot of hard work, the two of them squeezed close to the gate of the hall, and looked into the hall at the same time, only to see a group of monks, facing the Buddhist altar with their backs, knocking on the chime to chant Buddha. The abbot of the monastery should preside over the dharma. Facing the monks, he clasped his hands together and looked at his nose and heart while reciting sutras. Xu Ziling suddenly trembled, pulled Kou Zhong back and left. Kou Zhong was surprised, "What's the matter?" Xu Ziling said in a low voice: "Then the host is "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan." Kou Zhong lost his voice: "What?" Xu Ziling said with certainty: "Then the host is Shi Zhixuan. Although he has a beard glued on, I can still recognize him when he turns to ashes." Kou Zhong was overjoyed and said: "Your sharp eyes can't go wrong. And this is also a matter of course. Didn't Shi Zhixuan once worshiped under two of the four great monks and secretly learned the unique skills of Buddhism? He pretended to be an eminent monk, etc. If we go back to his profession. Ha! We are traveling to the tip of our toes this time, if we don’t hold rituals, we won’t have the chance to meet him.” The two finally squeezed out of the temple gate and walked towards the Yuema Bridge, feeling the festive atmosphere of the whole city even more.Although pedestrians bump into each other, no one will complain and get angry because of it. Kou Zhong continued: "Old Shi is very thoughtful, as long as he comes to practice in closed doors, or travel around the world, he can go out and do murder and arson, which is against nature and reason." "Peng! Peng! Peng!" A group of children threw lighted firecrackers from the Yongan Canal under the bridge. The more splashes they exploded, the more cheers and applause they aroused. It happened that someone left the impenetrable bridge railing, and the two took their place, leaning on the railing. Kou Zhong followed Xu Ziling's gaze to the half-queen moon in the sky, and said, "What are you thinking?" Xu Ziling sighed softly: "I'm calculating whether we can take Shi Zhixuan's old life if we jointly attack." A murderous intent flashed across Kou Zhong's eyes, and he frowned again and said, "You are more qualified than me to make a judgment. What is his Immortal Seal?" Xu Ziling said frankly: "I still can't figure out his background. Generally speaking: it is a kind of transition between life and death. When attacked, it can turn death into life, and when attacked, it can turn life into death, so that the opponent is defeated by him." Playing with the palm of your hand, you will always be invincible. Although I used all the magic weapons in my body last night, he still seemed like a normal person, you can imagine how powerful he is." Kou Zhongdao: "According to your estimation, if we want to kill Shi Zhixuan, how will Hou Xibai react?" Xu Ziling said: "It's very difficult to guess, first we have to decide whether we want to have a big settlement with Shi Zhixuan, the rest can be considered later." Kou Zhong smiled wryly: "Assuming that the entrance to the treasure house is really in Wulou Temple, we can't solve him even if we don't think of a way." Xu Ziling said: "If this is our decision, then we should never deal with Yang Xuyan tonight, lest we startle the snake." Kou Zhong nodded in agreement. One must know that up to this moment, those who know that they have arrived in Chang'an, except for Houhou, are all people who will not reveal their secrets, but if they take action against Yang Xuyan, Shi Zhixuan will definitely be vigilant, and even speculate that Gao Zhandao and others are related to him They are related. Kou Zhongdao: "What about Hou boy's test?" Xu Ziling said: "Let me tell him that since we are friends, we should not hide anything. See his reaction and we will make a decision." Kou Zhong patted him on the shoulder hard, and said decisively: "That's the decision. We'll go find Boy Hou right away." The two were about to leave, when the fragrant wind came, a sweet and familiar voice said behind them: "May I ask you two, what is the attraction in Wulou Temple that makes you take time out for a visit in your busy schedule?" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling didn't need to look back to know who was coming, they couldn't help crying in their hearts. The soft and attractive female body squeezed tightly into the insufficient space between the two of them.
