Romance of Gods

Chapter 179
The wildfires crackled and burned, and the night seemed even quieter.

Chen Yan was silent for a moment and then said, "Tell me and listen."

Wu Zhengting stepped forward and handed over his hands: "This time we are going to Shaanxi Mansion to respond to the general trend of the uprising. This is a fatal deal involving the nine tribes. We have no worries and have already pinned our heads to our belts. But there is only one orphan brother, It’s that little girl, we can’t let her go to die with us! If you are willing to take this burden with you, then you are the benefactor of me, Wu Zhengting, and all my brothers! If there is a place where I can be used in the future, I will not hesitate to die!"

When Chen Yan heard this, he thought to himself, you are going to be in danger, so why am I not?

It's a long way to the capital, and the future is uncertain. Whether it's the other actors or the emperor who wants to use them to make elixirs, they have to be on guard.

But compared to Wu Zhengting and others, it might be better to follow him. At least he wouldn't let her end up being thrown into a well.

"Okay, I promise."

"Emperor!"

Everyone couldn't help but be happy when they heard this, their gratitude was beyond words, and they bowed to Chen Yan again.

Immediately, everyone worked together to destroy the cannibal well and walked out of the courtyard together.

On the road between villages, corpses were piled up in mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and steam was rising. The cruel scene was shocking.

Xiaohua was placed in a private house, squatting on the bamboo bed with her legs trembling, obviously frightened by the heart-rending cry just now.

"Xiaohua, you should serve this knight from now on. Be more sensible and discerning."

The murderous bandits rushed into the house. As soon as they stood still, Wu Zhengting came to the point.

Xiaohua raised her head in fear and was surprised to see Chen Yan.

Not long ago, she was thinking that she would never see this brother again.

But now that they were reunited, she believed what Chen Yan said before was even more true.

Maybe her brother will appear in front of her like this one day.

The reluctant expression on Xiaohua's face dissipated a lot, and she nodded dully.

At this time, the sound of chaotic footsteps was faintly heard coming from far and near, approaching the village.

"Those bastards from Ashan Village must be back, brothers, prepare to meet the enemy!" Wu Zhengting had something on his mind at this moment and felt much more relaxed. Then he said goodbye to Chen Yan, "I hope we can meet again in the future."

Chen Yan stepped forward and picked up Xiaohua, nodded and said, "Take care."

"Uncle Wu..."

Xiaohua seemed to know that she was about to face another separation, and her expression was extremely reluctant.

"Xiaohua, remember what I said to you. You need to learn more skills when you are with the heroes. It's time for you to learn to make a living on your own... let's go!"

After that, Wu Zhengting resolutely rushed out of the house with his men and embarked on a decisive road.

When Chen Yan left the yard with Xiao Hua, a bloody fight had already begun outside the village. The purpose of the fight was to survive better in this cruel world.

Chen Yan compared the map of the country and glanced at the situation of the three people in the team. He found that Cao Chunhua's position had changed and he was heading southeast. It seemed that he was looking for Lou Huowang.

As for Shen Mengxi, she also left Jinling and started heading south, instead of waiting where she had planned.

After learning that the Ming Dynasty Temple coveted a god actor, the current changes were as expected by Chen Yan.

Compared to the remote country where he was, the capital city, as the emperor's home base, was definitely more dangerous at the moment, and the plan made by Zai Guo was no longer feasible.

I hope the four of them will be safe and sound when they meet again.

He took out the compass again, searched the surrounding area, and found nothing unusual, so he used the air control technique, jumped repeatedly, and left Ashan Village in the blink of an eye.

The destination here is Chaotianmen in Yuzhou, where the Jialing River and the Yangtze River converge, which was the thoroughfare of the Ming Dynasty.

If you are lucky, you can meet Cao Chunhua and the others here.

Before the official departure, Chen Yan spent fifty talismans to buy the essence of divine martial arts.

This technique of activating the power of qi and blood, even if he doesn't practice it deliberately, will increase his attributes a lot after using it.

While Chen Yan was traveling north, drastic changes were quietly taking place within the Ming Dynasty, which was engaged in a war with the Tang and Han Dynasties.

The dynastic regime, which was in a state of overwhelming power, was increasingly on the verge of collapse.

On the second day of March in [-], the Thirteen Route Rebel Army broke out in Shaanxi Province and took action at the same time. Immediately, the mighty fire of rebellion blossomed throughout the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, within the Tang Dynasty, the shaman saint Huang Chao froze the royal capital "Dunhuang" and massacred the royal family; while in the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo usurped power, and the eighteen princes raised troops to serve the king.

As for the most powerful Qin Dynasty, there was also some trouble. The Great Steel Wall they were building collapsed. It is said that it was caused by a woman crying.

The already chaotic situation in the world has become increasingly complicated.

The situation in the world of the Ming Dynasty was also turbulent. On the seventh day of March in [-], more than a dozen powerful sects suddenly appeared in the world.

Relying on their own power, they madly annexed other local sects, and their power soared. They even put down their bold words and promised to put an end to the chaos in the world within three months.

Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible.

On March [-], [-], Ao Sanye, the master of martial arts in the Ming Dynasty, decided to hold a meeting of heroes at Chaotianmen to discuss strategies to deal with the crisis. All martial arts sects responded.

Yuzhou has mountains and rivers, and has been a famous mountain city and foggy city since ancient times.

It was late spring at this time, and it was raining heavily. The icy rain streaks passed through the thick fog, adding to the chilling atmosphere.

Like dumplings, the banks of the Jialing River are filled with all kinds of boats. Countless people from all walks of life are now gathered in Yuzhou City, waiting for the meeting of heroes to be held.

In Yuzhou, the most powerful one is Pao Gehui. Ao Sanye is the current leader of Paoge. He has reached the pinnacle of martial arts skills and is also the leader of the martial arts alliance.

There are less than seven days left until the agreed date for the heroes meeting. In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of guests coming to Ao's house, and the threshold has changed several times.

There are forces from all sides, all with evil intentions.

Ao Mansion, in the reception room.

The wizened old man in shorts was holding a cigarette pole and sitting in front of the screen where the tiger descended from the mountain. Although he looked unattractive, he exuded a sense of power.

A young man with a white face and no beard wears a black brocade robe rolled with gold threads, crosses his legs, holds a blue and white tureen, and blows tea.

The man smiled and said: "This white tea is indeed the best in Yuzhou. It is fragrant but not greasy. It has a hint of daughter-red color when you smell it. It is truly the best tea."

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Eunuch Cao, don't play riddles with me anymore. Your Excellency has come to my humble residence. What advice can you give me?"

The man put down the tea cup, straightened the wrinkled hem of his clothes, and said calmly: "Master Ao, you made a big scene this time." Master Ao said calmly, "People from Jinyiwei and the East and West factories are here. How can this little old man turn things upside down under your noses? Besides, the original intention of this gathering of heroes is to discuss how to save the country and the people, and we have a clear conscience."

Eunuch Cao hurriedly agreed, "That's right, otherwise His Majesty wouldn't trust the Third Master so much and let you lead the world for 30 years. You should also know that although Your Majesty is immortal, in 30 years, the head of the cabinet will I don’t even know how many times it has changed.”

Mr. Ao Sanye was noncommittal and puffed on his cigarette, "Your Majesty's kindness will be remembered by all the people in the world."

"There are not many people who are as considerate to Your Majesty as Mr. Ao Sanye." Eunuch Cao sighed: "You said, Your Majesty has exempted the people from land tax. How big a good thing is this? How many people can be saved every year with the food that we save? Isn't that right? Are you asking them to push a handful of people into the well every year? These people are going to rebel! Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others are really hateful. Fortunately, this city of Yuzhou has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times. Without internal help, they will definitely not be able to enter. Otherwise, if they were allowed to stand at Chaotian Gate and flow down the river, wouldn't they be heading straight for Huanglong?"

Mr. Ao Sanye has been around the world for many years. He knows that Eunuch Cao is targeting him, so he doesn't answer directly. Instead, he asks: "Your Excellency, are you saying that the bandit army will take advantage of the chaos to destroy the gathering of heroes?"

"It's very possible, so Third Master should be more careful. But..." Eunuch Cao changed the topic and his expression became extremely solemn, "These rebels won't make much difference. The ones we should be most wary of are those who have recently risen in the world. Several sects.”

Hearing this, Mr. Ao Sanye also became interested, "Today, all the sects in the martial arts world have spent thousands of years working hard to gain a foothold in the martial arts world. But these figures who have emerged recently, almost overnight Soon a sect was founded, and no less than a thousand people from each sect gathered, and I don’t know where they came from.”

"Their background is huge!" Eunuch Cao suddenly raised his voice and his eyes widened. "This involves royal secrets. Only His Majesty in the world knows it. I am also lucky to know it. Ao Sanye is one of our own, these It doesn’t hurt to tell you.”

Ao Sanye was about to refuse, but Eunuch Cao had already started talking to himself.

"According to the royal secret history, countless gods and beings descended from the three realms of heaven, earth and man 3000 years ago. These gods and beings turned the three realms upside down at that time. Not long ago, your Majesty observed the sky at night and discovered that these gods and beings have actually come to the world again. In comparison, For the rebels, these people are even more dangerous. Your Majesty is certain that they will come to disrupt this conference. Therefore, Third Master, you must find a way to share your Majesty's worries."

Mr. Ao Sanye nodded and said, "You don't need to worry about this, father-in-law. These sects came out of nowhere and turned the world upside down in a few days. I don't know how many martial arts masters died in their hands. This revenge must be avenged."

"If Third Master thinks so, then my father-in-law will feel relieved."

As he spoke, Eunuch Cao took out a translucent round white jade from his lapel and handed it over.

"This is?"

Mr. Ao Sanye took the jade and was a little confused.

"This is a gift from an expert to Your Majesty. As long as you carry this jade with you, you can pick out these gods from the crowd... This time I came and brought five hundred pieces of white jade. Now I will give you two hundred pieces of white jade." , Third Master gave it to the experts in the meeting, and asked them to find the traces of these gods."

Mr. Ao Sanye nodded.

……

Outside the city of Yuzhou, in the mountains, there is a ruined temple.

"Hey! Humph!"

Under the persimmon tree that has not yet sprouted new buds, a four or five-year-old girl is practicing boxing in a decent manner, reaching Baji.

Across from the broken stone monument covered with moss, a man with tied hair was setting up a bonfire and roasting a pheasant.

March [-], [-], was the fifth day after Chen Yan arrived in Yuzhou.

[List of members of Team [-]]

Wang Lingguan·Chen Yan (current location: Yuzhou, Xichuan Prefecture, Ming Dynasty)
Stove Lord·Lou Huowang (current location: Yuzhou, Xichuan Prefecture, Ming Dynasty)

Giant Spirit God Cao Chunhua (Current Location: Yuzhou, Xichuan Prefecture, Ming Dynasty)

Rabbit God Shen Mengxi (current location: Yuzhou, Xichuan Prefecture, Ming Dynasty)

In front of the campfire, Chen Yan glanced at the team information. After traveling all the way, all the team members had now arrived in Yuzhou.

But after several days of searching, Chen Yan has not found the specific whereabouts of Cao Chunhua and others.

"Okay, it's time to eat."

When Xiaohua heard this, she put away her immature fists and feet and ran towards Chen Yan happily.

Chen Yan tore off a piece of oily chicken drumstick, blew on it, and handed it to Xiaohua's hand.

"Brother, you eat first."

Xiaohua held the chicken drumstick and held back her saliva, but she would never eat it until she saw Chen Yan eating it.

Chen Yan nodded, pulled off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed the bones into pieces and swallowed them. Xiaohua also started to bite the chicken in small bites.

Throughout their journey, the two of them have been treated like brothers and sisters.

Although Xiaohua is young, she is very sensible and has never behaved like other children on the road.

Chen Yan was relieved and taught her how to practice boxing when he had time.

Of course, he also has some selfish motives.

Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and there are many people with mixed eyes. You are not sure who will jump out and kill you.

And carrying a doll with you can effectively reduce the vigilance of others.

After finishing the rest of the chicken, Chen Yan also stood up and started practicing boxing. Each move was like a hurricane blowing by, with the grass swaying around him.

Xiaohua followed him with a chicken leg in her mouth, imitating his example.

Chen Yan practices boxing mainly to improve his proficiency in qigong, and when his blood boils, his proficiency in divine martial arts will also slowly increase.

At the same time, a dozen beggars in ragged clothes and on crutches smelled the fragrance and hurried along the mountain road to the temple.

The leader was a one-eyed beggar. He led the crowd to stop by the persimmon tree, his face beaming with joy.

"Hey, our brothers are going to make a fortune today. How much money do you think such a strong laborer and a little girl can be sold for in those valleys?"

All the beggars shouted in unison: "You can get 200 taels even if you don't say anything!"

"Then what are you waiting for! Come on, brothers!"

Chen Yan shook his head. Along the way, he met countless traffickers who wanted to kidnap him and sell them for money. He was not surprised by the current situation.

When the beggars couldn't help but attack him, a ray of silver lightning suddenly came from behind him and circled in front of the beggars' throats. For a while, they screamed one after another.

Chen Yan could see clearly that there was a flying knife hidden in the light. Although the knife was bloody, it was controlled very well and did not kill the beggars.

"You guys are so desperate that you actually committed evil under the eyes of Brother Pao Hui. How many of your heads will be chopped off by my aunt?"

When the beggars heard the sound, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "We don't dare anymore! We don't dare anymore! Please forgive me!"

A plump young woman wearing a brown dress stood behind everyone at some point. The flying knife spun around in mid-air and flew back into her hand.

The young woman looked at Chen Yan and smiled seductively, "You shouldn't beg me, but the brother behind you."
