Volume 4: Listening to the Wind on the Bridge
The characters on the scroll were ancient characters similar to hieroglyphs, but Lu Chen's head could automatically translate them, allowing him to understand the meaning.
Looking back on the first three volumes, they are: numerous ghosts, flickering ghosts, and no sight of the imperial city.
The first two volumes seemed to be a foreshadowing, leading Lu Chen to the road to hell. The third volume was a transformation, and even a question of mind.
He always felt that if he chose another path in the Wenxin Bureau, the scenery he would see later would definitely be different. However, if he did not take this path and was not blind, he would not be able to see the imperial city and gain the blessings he would later achieve.
If the Imperial City refers to Fengdu, then this bridge should be Naihe Bridge.
A picture emerged in Lu Chen's mind. A man opened the gate to the underworld and saw heavy fog, countless ghosts, and even ghosts flickering in the sky. He looked around, but could not see the legendary Fengdu Imperial City. He walked in the fog, confused and helpless, and finally came to a small bridge.
This bridge is the Naihe Bridge.
He stood on the bridge, listening to the howling wind and the screams of ghosts.
Perhaps at a certain moment, the dark wind blew away the surrounding fog, revealing a corner of Fengdu. When he saw it, he embarked on the pilgrimage again.
Lu Chen guessed that the last volume of the "Heart Sutra of Ghost Gate" should be related to the imperial city, which would also reveal all the secrets of the Heart Sutra.
Lu Chen shook his head, throwing away the distracting thoughts, and then continued to read down.
One day later, Lu Chen had memorized the fourth volume in his mind. After a week of operation, he felt that his meridians had more than doubled in strength.
He felt that if he met Li Haolin again, he would be able to kill him instantly.
However, it is still difficult to face Rinka Hashimoto.
"The Hantian Bagua Diagram is a time bomb, but it is also a trump card. If used properly, my combat effectiveness will soar. The premise is... it cannot be fully lit."
Lu Chen called Qing Xuanzi and asked about the battle situation in Beihai. The battle fronts of Sakura and Bangzi Kingdom had been taken over by the gods, but they were exempt from war and had no intention of revenge for Uzumaki Hayate.
The war was not serious, so Lu Chen went to the God Department. He wanted to talk to the Dragon King about the inside story of the war, so as not to know anything.
But as soon as he entered the Jushen Department, he saw a soldier covered in blood rushing in.
"Marshal, hurry up eight hundred miles!!"
Immediately, two copper-faced patrolmen helped each other up and rushed towards the Dragon King's study. Lu Chen also hurriedly followed.
"Something happened in the Northeast?"
The Dragon King raised his head, two gleams of cold light shot out from his eyes, giving people a chilling feeling.
"Reporting to the Marshal, something unexpected happened on the battlefield in the Northeast. After the Shangguan family arrived at the battlefield, they actually joined forces with the Ice and Snow Sect and other forces to attack five families in the Northeast."
"They seemed to have been well prepared and blocked the communication equipment on the Northeast battlefield. The second master of the Hu family tried his best to escort his subordinates to escape from the Northeast. He, in order to cover me, his head was beheaded by Shangguan Lingfeng with a sword. He was dying. I only leave one sentence before: Please rest assured, the royal family, the Hu family will defend the Northeast battlefield to the death. If the enemy forces rush into the hinterland, it will definitely be my Hu family, who will no longer have a son."
At the end of the story, the soldier knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
"The Shangguan family rebelled? What about Shangguan Fei???"
Lu Chen suddenly grabbed the soldier's collar and lifted him up. He had a blood feud with the Shangguan family, but Shangguan Fei was one of the few people Lu Chen recognized along the way!
In his heart, Shangguan Fei is the true genius of the God Clan.
He is arrogant but not domineering.
He has pride, but he can bend and stretch.
He is extremely talented, and he is full of justice in his heart. He is persistent and does not do anything. He is far beyond the comparison of people like Yan Long and Bai Yufan.
He did not believe that Shangguan Fei would betray China.
"Master Lu, Shangguan Lingfeng has rebelled against me. What about Shangguan Fei? Of course he is sharpening his sword and aiming it at our compatriots!"
The soldier roared loudly, and his eyes were already covered with red bloodshot eyes because of anger. If it weren't for the purpose of passing this news back, he would definitely turn around and fight to the death with the officials.
"Shangguan Fei rebelled?"
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he took three steps back and sat down on the chair.
boom! !
The Dragon Emperor slapped his hand on the table and shouted angrily: "What a Shangguan Lingfeng, he didn't even want his own mother and wife. Send me an order to kill all the Shangguan family's family members, and then give me a thousand A dog entered Shangguan's house and ate their corpses for me bite by bite. I want these people to know the consequences of betraying me, China!!"
How could the Dragon King not know that the top ten protoss clans were ambitious and showed signs of betrayal, but he had too few soldiers at his disposal, so he had no choice but to gamble on the conscience of the protoss clan.
However, before the Shangguan family went on the expedition, he also left behind the Shangguan family members, including Shangguan Lingfeng's wife and mother, but he did not expect that the Shangguan family would rebel.
He couldn't understand what kind of promise Hera's Asgard made him so crazy!
"Marshal, the top priority is to send troops to support the Northeast battlefield. The Shangguan family is attacking from behind. The five families may not be able to hold on for long." Liu Ruyan said anxiously.
"I'll go." Lu Chen stood up slowly. After Shangguan Lingyun died, he met Guan Fei several times, but he was injured every time, and Shangguan Fei didn't want to take advantage of others.
Now, this fateful showdown should come to an end.
"Lu Chen, I have no soldiers now... Even if you go, nothing will change. I plan to abandon the Northeast and use Shanhe Pass as the boundary to reshape the defensive front."
A low voice came from the Dragon Emperor's mouth. He lit a cigarette with a lonely expression.
"give up???"
Lu Chen asked in disbelief: "On the Northeast battlefield, there are more than 100 million people and millions of soldiers fighting to the death. Are you telling me to give up??"
"Do you really think I want to do that? What else can you do if you don't give up? Do you think you can push back the coalition forces by yourself? Once I mobilize soldiers from other battlefields, the other battlefields will also fall!!"
"Let me tell you Lu Chen, the national war is not about playing house. You must give up what you should give up. You must not affect the entire war situation for the sake of Northeast China!!"
The Dragon King stared at Lu Chen angrily. The 1.2 million registered soldiers in the Northeast War Department all hated the frontier. They were all his direct descendants. He was even more heartbroken than Lu Chen.
"You don't have any soldiers, right? Okay, I'll take them there myself."
Lu Chen knew that the Dragon Emperor was not joking. The Ministry of God really couldn't send any soldiers to go to the north. It didn't matter. Then he would send troops himself!
"Lu Chen, you really... haven't grown up."
The Dragon King sighed, walked to the wall and took off a painting by Xu Tianqing. Behind the painting was a niche with a half-meter-high small tower in it.
The sunlight shines through the window on the small tower, making it look extremely holy.
