Yu Zhi knew that he should find a good sword for himself at this time.
However, he also understood that the sword in Jianlu was not so easy to find.
For countless years, the swords in Jianlu were only given to those who were destined to do so. It is a holy place in the hearts of sword cultivators, and those sword cultivators are proud of being able to obtain the swords in the sword hut.
"A sword that lasts a hundred years." Yu Zhi smiled with a smile on his face, his eyes radiating a fiery light. "The last century-old sword was taken away by the sword master Zhou Ping three hundred years ago. Since then, no one has obtained the sword again."
In the ruined beast yard, Wuhua fought with Cao Ling with a golden bell on his head. Golden light burst out, turning into Sanskrit gold characters, binding Cao Ling like a chain.
Cao Ling kept flying back with a ferocious look on his face. He never expected that the little monk in front of him would be so powerful.
Those golden lights blocked Cao Ling's actions, and the phantom of the golden bell blocked all Cao Ling's attacks.
Today's Cao Ling cannot break Wuhua's golden bell even if he tries his best.
Wu Hua thought: "Donor, your sin of killing is too serious, you should put down the butcher knife, follow the young monk back to the Hanging Temple, and go to the Buddha to repent."
Cao Ling was already angry and cursed angrily: "You damn bald donkey, shut up."
Wuhua was neither annoyed nor angry, and said somewhat innocently: "The young monk is saving the donor."
"Save your mother!" Cao Ling cursed.
Wuhua said seriously: "Master said that I was picked up. I have had no father or mother since I was a child. Donor, do you know the monk's mother?"
How could Wuhua, who is innocent by nature, know the vulgar language in this world?
Wuhua's serious look only irritated Cao Ling even more.
Cao Ling forcibly raised his breath, the spear vibrated, and countless falling rocks on the ground rose out of thin air. The entire animal trap was suspended like a meteorite from the sky, trapping the two of them.
Buzz!
Falling rocks of various sizes, the largest being more than three meters high and the smallest being no more than the size of a fist, all flew towards Wuhua.
Clang, clang, clang!
A series of rapid tolls sounded, threatening to shatter the golden bell.
Without being impatient, Wu Hua chanted Amitabha lightly, and then the golden light of the Buddhist door bloomed again, blocking the falling rocks.
"Donor, there is no end to the sea of suffering, but when you turn around, you will find shore again!"
"Go to hell!"
Cao Ling was beating and scolding, and Wuhua's nagging voice made Cao Ling upset.
Yu Zhi urged from the side: "Little monk, it's almost dawn. We have to take the children back to Su City. You move quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of footsteps came from the city gate.
Yu Zhi glanced at the city gate. The ground was full of corpses of bandits, and it was a mess.
"Finally here." Yu Zhi said softly.
The time now is just right to reach this mountain city from Sioux City.
You Yuanju stood in front of the city gate and saw the city gate wide open, and the smell of blood wafting straight into his nose. He knew something must have happened in the city.
"Leave three hundred people to guard the city gate. Anyone who wants to leave the city will be shot to death!"
"The rest of you will follow me into the city."
As soon as he entered the city, You Yuanju saw corpses on the ground and bright red blood.
"General, these people were all killed with one sword. There was only one fatal sword wound on their bodies." The soldier checked some corpses and reported back.
You Yuanju frowned, stared at a corpse, and said: "Seal the throat with a sword. Judging from the footsteps outside the city, only one person entered the city."
You Yuanju is very clear about the layout of the city in the mountains. There is a large formation in the mountains and forests outside the city. Unless a strong man who is proficient in formations can break through this place. The city gates are all made of huge stones weighing tens of thousands of kilograms. If there is no door in the city, even a strong man who can open the monument will not be able to open the city gate.
How could just one person break open the city gate and enter the city?
"Go, be careful."
After walking a few more steps, You Yuanju saw Yingqiu's head.
On the wine table, the head was placed upright, with its protruding eyeballs full of fear and horror, as if it was telling You Yuanju what happened before his death.
There were corpses of bandits on both sides. On the roofs and on the streets, blood had been flowing all night and had long since dried up.
Yu Zhi... This is the only variable that You Yuanju can think of.
"The city in the mountain is hidden. After being discovered by Su Ji, a large formation was set up to cover it up. Everything has been peaceful for so long. Yu knew that as soon as this guy arrived in Su City, something unexpected happened here. The supervisory censor... Huh, if you’re looking for death, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
As they went deeper into the mountain city, the sounds of fighting in the city reached the ears of You Yuanju and others.
"Be on guard!" You Yuanju ordered.
The two hundred soldiers under his command drew their swords and were alert to their surroundings.
Yu Zhi immediately walked out and stood in front of You Yuanju.
"General You, long time no see, do you still recognize me?"
"Yu Zhi?" You Yuanju said. The eastern sky gradually lit up, and the gentle morning light illuminated the entire mountain city, and also illuminated Yu Zhi's slightly tired face.
Yu Zhi corrected him: "According to etiquette, you should call me Master Censor or Supervisor Censor."
You Yuanju didn't answer and stared at Yu Zhi. That day in front of the city gate, Yu Zhi threatened him forcefully, causing him and the entire Su City army to lose face.
For the sake of the overall situation, You Yuanju can endure it. As long as Yu Zhi is sent away, banditry will happen again in the future.
But now Yu Zhi has discovered the secret of the mountain city.
No matter how much this kid knows, he must not be allowed to leave alive. Even if he is the censor, he will die... You Yuanju once again strengthened his heart.
Seeing that You Yuanju was silent, Yu Zhi smiled silently and continued: "General You, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about how to kill me?"
Suddenly, a cold wind hit him, and You Yuanju's eyes were cold and murderous, and there was no need to hide them.
"You already know?" You Yuanju held the hilt of the sword at his waist and pressed it gently, preparing to draw the sword. "Did Ying Chou tell you? Or was it Su Ji? By the way, you should have saved Su Ji too."
That night, the killer sent to assassinate Su Ji failed to respond. Apparently something unexpected happened.
Yu Zhi did not deny it and glanced at the soldiers behind You Yuanju.
"I didn't suspect the relationship between you and the bandits before. Until I learned about the existence of this mountain city from Su Ji."
"It just so happens that I have seen such a mountain city in the mountains of Cangzhou Prefecture. There are wild beasts in it. No, it should be more appropriately called strange beasts and ferocious beasts."
"Such a city is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Even if there are tens of thousands of bandits, it is impossible to build such a city without anyone knowing it. Similarly, a group of bandits cannot get the source of the night ghost. Of course. , maybe these bandits have other identities, or there may be someone behind the bandits."
"The above is one. The second point is that Su Ji has seen your confidant Chao Dabiao hanging out with the bandits. His one-sided words alone are hard to convince. However, by coincidence, I saw Chao Dabiao before entering the city."
Yu Zhi took out Chao Dabiao's waist badge from his arms and waved it. "With Chao Dabiao's status, it is possible that he colluded with the bandits, but the bandits have not been eradicated for half a year. From this, it is not difficult to conclude that you, General You, are also involved."
"Where is Chao Dabiao?" You Yuanju asked.
Yu Zhi spread his hands and said, "In the mountain forest outside the city, he was seriously injured when I found him. He may be still alive, or he may be dead."
Looking at Yu Zhi's appearance, You Yuanju probably already knew everything.
He sighed and said, "Now that you know everything, you don't need me to explain."
"Indeed. There are very few people as talented as me. I found out the truth and annihilated the bandits in about three days after arriving in Suzhou City. They are much better than your Suzhou Army army."
You Yuanju glared at Yu Zhi and said in a deep voice: "The Su City Army is not something you can insult. Since you already know the truth, you should know that the mountain bandits are not enough to put the Su City Army between their teeth. Banditry, huh, It’s just that Su Cheng’s army is unwilling to suppress the bandits.”
"Hmph." Yu Zhiye snorted coldly and said, "The Su City Army is guarding one side. Since the banditry, 900 children in Su City have been kidnapped, and more than 600 of them have been killed in the belly of the beast. Countless villages have been destroyed, and villagers have been killed and injured. , tens of thousands of people were displaced. The soldiers did not fulfill their responsibilities as soldiers. If the Suzhou Army is not trash, what is it?"
"You Yuanju, if you still have a conscience, you won't let these children be kidnapped without doing anything."
You Yuanju was silent for a while, his expression gloomy.
"The verbal nonsense is meaningless. After today, the Su City Army will still be the Su City Army. The bandits will be wiped out, and you will die under the knife of the bandits and become a corpse."
Yu Zhi sneered and said, "You made a good calculation."
"Don't worry." You Yuanju said, "In the memorial sent to Kyoto, you will be the first to eliminate the bandits!"
"Hey, have you thought of this ending?"
"Of course you have to be careful when doing things."
Yu Zhi shook his head and looked at You Yuanju as if looking at a fool. "If I was afraid of you, why would I still wait here?"
"Did you know I would come?"
"Such a big thing happened. If it were me, I would come here to have a look, and then kill them all. Wouldn't I?"
You Yuanju looked around and suddenly laughed and said: "You are still bluffing when you are about to die. Judging from the footprints at the city gate, it is clear that you are the only one entering the city. I came with five hundred personal guards, why are you afraid of you alone?"
The sound of fighting kept coming from the animal yard where Yu Zhi was trapped behind him.
You Yuanju didn't know what happened inside. The bandits in front are all dead. If there is still a fight, it will only be those people. And the aura of fighting is not weak at all.
He knew that those people in the deepest part of the city, especially that adult, even he had to be respectful.
But who is fighting with that adult now?
Could it be that there is a strong person lurking around Yu Zhi?
Yu Zhi saw You Yuanju's thoughts and explained kindly: "Cao Ling, one of the eighteen Yanyun riders under King Xiang Ji of Chu. Are you surprised why I know his identity?"
Yes, You Yuanju was indeed surprised.
Cao Ling's identity is exposed, and Xiang Ji can be traced from Cao Ling.
This matter can no longer be hidden.
Because it is harmful to nature, it cannot be discovered by others.
Because humans and gods are angry together, they cannot be revealed to the world.
You Yuanju also knew that the secret of the mountain city would be reviled by everyone in the world, but since he had done it, he must not let anyone know about it.
Yu Zhi continued: "Today, neither you nor Cao Ling can leave."
General Cao will not be defeated easily. For this plan, Yu Zhi must be captured first! ...You Yuanju said coldly: "Kill him!"
The blade was unsheathed. At the same time, Yu Zhi smiled calmly and said: "Don't be anxious, everyone. Look around you carefully. I dare say you will die in front of me."
In the morning light, talismans fluttered one after another, no more and no less, blocking the paths of You Yuanju and others in all directions.
"General You, you should be able to feel that the power contained in these talismans of mine is enough to kill you here."
