This group of Yiluohe warriors, like the Yiluohe in Xiaojin City, all wore mountain pattern black armor, holding a knife in one hand and a hammer in the other. At this moment, they had surrounded the Khitan warriors and stopped advancing. The leader shouted Said: "Taligu, you can't escape, abandon your sword and surrender, I will spare your life!"
One of the Khitan warriors shouted loudly in Khitan. Jiang Shuo could not understand what he was saying, but seeing his eyes cracked and gnashing his teeth, he was definitely not saying a word of mercy. The Khitan warriors suddenly shouted in unison, and they were at a disadvantage. They failed to defend and counterattacked. They pounced on the Yiluohe warriors like crazy tigers. However, they were few in number and the long swords in their hands could not cut through the mountain pattern black armor of Yiluohe. They were restrained by the hammer. Although they showed off their bravery for a moment, Yiluohe took a few steps back, but Yiluohe stabilized his position and was immediately counterattacked. In an instant, several Khitan warriors accidentally broke their swords, and the situation became more critical. Jiang Shuo wanted to watch any more, but these Khitan warriors would definitely When there were casualties, he shouted loudly, drew his sword and jumped down from the pine tree.
Yiluohe only heard someone shouting above his head. Before he could raise his head, Jiang Shuo had already fallen into the crowd. He was walking back and forth among the Yiluohe warriors using the flying star step of the Southern Suzaku Wing Su.
After Dugu Wen's explanation, Jiang Shuo's understanding of this set of steps was far better than in the past - the four elephants of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu each have seven constellations. Yuan Tiangang, the master of numerology in the early Tang Dynasty, believed that the seven constellations of each elephant were composed of seven constellations. Corresponding to one of the seven stars "wood, metal, earth, sun, moon, fire and water", each of the twenty-eight constellations is named after a mythical animal. The Dugu family's first-level star-crossing formula "Bu Tiange" is just a direction formula, while the second-level formula of Dugu Wenchuan Jiangshuo is derived from the pictograms of the twenty-eight divine beasts. For example, this wing is called "Winghuo" "Snake", according to the first-level mental method, it is like a divine bird spreading its wings. Although it is light and agile, it is too strong. According to the second-level mental method, the image of a flying snake is added, then Even if there is softness in the hardness, the realm is completely different.
Now that Jiang Shuo had used the "Winged Fire Snake" movement technique, the Yiluohe warriors saw only a figure swaying among them, but their eyes could not follow his figure. The long knife and pecking hammer in his hands were frozen in mid-air. , I don’t know where to cut it.
Jiang Shuo deliberately used these Yiluohe to test out the moves to see how powerful Dugu Wen's Star Crossing Step was before the battle. Therefore, although he held the seven-star sword in his hand, he did not thrust it out, but just walked around the Yiluohe warriors. However, this Yisu step was too graceful and swift, dragging down the river and raising the sword and hammer, but he couldn't even make a single move. Jiang Shuo couldn't help but feel it was boring, so he changed to the Northern Xuanwu Qixu Zhongxu and Wei two Su steps.
Jiang Shuo originally thought that the four images of the Crossing Star Steps were just different steps. If the twenty-eight steps were performed in the same way, they would only have the same shape and lose their spirit. Only after Dugu asked some questions from the scriptures did he realize that the four images are different, such as Northern Xuanwu is the image of a spiritual snake surrounding a tortoise. In addition to a wrapping formula, it also contains seven constellations that must be matched in pairs to exert its maximum power - "Dou Mu Xie" as the lead, "Ox Taurus" and "Nvtu". "Bat" is a combination of yin and yang, "Void Sun Rat" and "Cruel Moon Swallow" are a combination of virtuality and reality, "Room Fire Pig" and "Bi Shui Jie" are a combination of water and fire.
Jiang Shuo deliberately slowed down his pace and lured the Luohe warrior to slash with his sword. On the way up, he ducked low to avoid it, and on the way down, he jumped up and dodged it with dangerous steps. He was really lying on the ground like a spirit rat, leaping as high as a flying swallow, dragging The Luohe warrior slashed at him with his sword, but couldn't even touch half of his clothes. This feeling of being visible and invisible was even more shocking when he just disappeared.
When Jiang Shuo saw that there was not a single expert among the people dragging down the river, he couldn't help but lose interest and shouted: "Everyone, pay attention, I'm about to take action."
This time, it was replaced by a white tiger from the west leaping and attacking. Among the white tigers in Qisu, "Kui Mu Lang" and "Lou Jin Dog" are similar to wolves and dogs; "Stomach Pheasant", "Pleiades Chicken" and "Bi Yue Wu" belong to the same species "Fire Monkey" and "Shenshui Monkey" are similar to the monkeys, but they add many changes of pounce in the white tiger's leap. They are harmonious but different, specious, and they are full of changes, in line with the white tiger at his feet. Stepping forward, Jiang Shuo didn't need to make any special move with the sword in his hand, he just casually pointed at Yiluohe's wrist.
Jiang Shuo knew that Yiluohe's weapons were thick and difficult to cut off, so he waved at their wrists. In an instant, he fluttered and leaped across a circle, but he could hear the sound of clanging. The dozens of Yiluohe warriors all The sword hit his wrist, and he couldn't hold the weapon and fell to the ground.
Jiang Shuo also imitated the behavior of the leading warrior in Yiluohe and shouted: "Abandon your sword and surrender!"
In fact, the word "abandon the sword" is superfluous. The weapons in these people's hands have long since been dropped. Yiluohe has nothing to fear, even if he fights to the death of one soldier
They were not afraid of death and would not surrender, but at this moment they were all taking pictures of Jiang Shuo's ghost-like body. They didn't know whether the young man in front of them was a human or a ghost, so they all stayed in place and did not dare to move.
This scene, not to mention the Yiluo River, even the Khitans surrounded in the middle were stunned. This place is close to the Konoha Sacred Mountain, the birthplace of the Khitans. Some warriors couldn't help but suspect that Jiang Shuo was a god descended from his ancestors, but Jiang Shuo was dressed as a Han. The Khitan ancestors must not be able to control the immortals of the Han people. While everyone was hesitating, the leading warrior named "Taligu" suddenly said: "I recognize you, you are Young Master Jiang Shuojiang!"
It turned out that when Li Huaixiu went to Shuofang's army to rob the camp that day, he brought with him all the children of the Khitan nobles from the eight tribes of Yao Chaan. Ta Ligu was also among them, so he recognized Jiang Shuo. Jiang Shuo vaguely remembered his face and said, "Is this eldest brother named Ta Ligu? This is Jiang Shuo. I'm here to find King Chongshun and Sister Zhu'er. Do you know where they are?"
Taligu said: "Khan's tent has long been dispersed by the Yan army, and I don't know where Khan has gone."
The leader of Yiluohe stroked his wrist and sneered: "I think you are the only one who doesn't know, right? Tarigu, one of your three battalions of Tulu Bubu was taken away by Huaixiu, and was given to his younger brother Hang Wo as the Tuju troops. . Now maybe Huaixiu thinks you are redundant, so he ordered your troops to be cut off here, and he has already escaped with the other seven troops."
The other Yiluohe listened to him mocking Taligu and laughed together. Although these Yiluohe were defeated by Jiang Shuo, they were still laughing and scolding without fear of death. Ta Ligu cursed in Khitan, with a very vicious look on his face. Unfortunately, most of Yiluohe was sarcastic and did not understand Khitan. No matter how vicious the curse was, the effect would be much less effective if others could not understand it. Jiang Shuo was even more incomprehensible. Yes, I just heard him mumbling a spell. Suddenly, I heard countless piercing sounds in the surroundings. The Yiluohe warriors fell to the ground one after another. Jiang Shuo was shocked. He thought, could this Tarigu really know how to spell? Looking at the arrows stuck in the back of Yiluohe who was lying on the ground, it turned out that someone had shot him to death with a bow and arrow.
Then there was the sound of rustling footsteps, and dozens of Khitan warriors emerged from behind the pine forest. As they approached, their bows were still drawn, aiming at the dead bodies on the ground and guarding against Jiang Shuo. Upon seeing this, Taligu hurriedly shouted in Khitan language, and the new Khitan warriors lowered their bows and arrows. It was expected that Taligu was telling everyone that Jiang Shuo was a friend, not an enemy, and asked them not to be rude.
One of the new Khitan warriors grabbed one of them, threw down their weapons, rushed forward and hugged Tarigu with both hands, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, speaking in Khitan language, with a very excited expression. Tarigu cried excitedly while hugging the man. They kept talking in Khitan. Jiang Shuo did not understand Khitan and had no idea what they were talking about, so he could only stand aside in a daze. Taligu suddenly felt that Jiang Shuo was being ignored. He patted the man's back and bowed to Jiang Shuo: "Young Master Jiang, this is my sworn brother Hang Han, the leader of the Sudden Division."
Hang Han obviously didn't know Chinese. He only imitated the Han people to cross their hands and salute. He still spoke in Khitan, but his tone was very respectful. The ancient Ta Li said: "Brother Hang Han has been in Songmo for a long time and has never been to Han. He doesn't know how to do it." Please forgive me for speaking Chinese, Young Master Jiang."
Jiang Shuo thought to himself that this was Hang Han, whom the Yiluohe warrior had just said, who was divided into a battalion under Tari Gu. Seeing that the two of them were so close, it didn't seem like there was any quarrel between them.
Seeing the doubtful look on his face, Taligu hurriedly explained: "Young Master Jiang, don't listen to the nonsense of the thieves of the Yan Army. Allocating a battalion to Hang Han is my own will. It is not the force of Zhanwu Khan. Don't Speaking of our tribe, even the Yili Jin division in Dadie Lie Prefecture was divided into two, all for the purpose of reviving the Khitan's former glory."
Jiang Shuo knew that Zuwu Khan was Li Huaixiu, and Dayi Lijin was Nirvana. He couldn't help but wonder: "The purpose of demolishing the house is to revive the glory? What is the reason for this?"
Tarigul explained: "The original ancestor of the Khitan people was called Qishou Khan. Qishou had eight sons. Later, as the clan became more prosperous, Qishou divided his eight sons into eight tribes. These were the "ancient eight tribes." Later, the Khitans were ignored. How did the position of the khan change? The Khitan has always been divided into eight tribes. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, when the Dahe clan took charge of the Khitan, it was divided into eight tribes, called the "Dahe Eight Divisions". The first khan of the Yaonan clan, Qu Lie also divided the Khitan into eight parts, which are the "eight parts of the distant chariot". However, after Li Guozhe's rebellion, the hearts of the various tribes were scattered, and the thieves of the Yan army were oppressed and plundered all the year round. Jin discussed and divided the five tribes into eight tribes, each occupying one area, reuniting the tribes, breeding livestock, and recreating the prosperity of the eight tribes of Khitan. "
Jiang Shuo thought that Li Zhuer said that Huaixiu was incompetent and that the military power was controlled by Nie Li, but today he heard what Tali Gu said
In other words, Li Huaixiu was a man with great ambitions and mountains and rivers in his belly.
Tali Gudao: "Although it is good to reorganize the eight departments, the new three departments need to be separated from other departments, involving human population, livestock, and the vital interests of each department. Naturally, what everyone is most worried about is how to achieve fairness? Dayi Lijin first He divided his B-room division into two, and handed the B-room to Saliben, while he led the Diela tribe on his own. The B-room was originally the strongest branch of the Khitan, but Dayi Li Jin was in charge of the military, but he took it first. My own tribe was attacked, and everyone admired it. This led to the formation of the Nirvana tribe by the Wukui tribe, the second largest tribe, and the Tuoju tribe by the Tulubu tribe, the third largest tribe. Therefore, I, the Khitan tribe, said that the Eight Tribes were revitalized. Working together to revive the great cause is definitely not what the thief said, it is an act of Khan hiding his selfish motives."
Jiang Shuo praised: "So, what King Chongshun and Dayi Lijin did is quite admirable."
While he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of bowstrings again. This time it came from above the treetops. A sound shot through the sky, and then two powerful crossbows shot at Tarigu and Hanghan with strong winds.
