Chapter 690: The Old Man Asks to See
The Liangzhou army retreated like a tide, and even Su Peng, who was in front of the formation, ignored it.
Su Peng looked at the demon army coming from afar, there were probably more than 3,000 monsters, but these monsters did not come directly to raid the flank of the Liangzhou army, but stopped when they were still some distance away from the Liangzhou army.
Su Peng saw it, and let out a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that these demon armies would rush forward like that.
Although the Liangzhou army retreated, but the formation was not chaotic, if those demon armies rushed up, I am afraid that there would be a bloody battle, and when the time came, their two thousand demon troops would also have to rush in, it would be a bloody battle, and in the end, no one would be able to get benefits.
It's better to be like now, just relying on deterrence to frighten these Liangzhou troops back, it's better than fighting both sides.
Those Liangzhou troops, although they retreated, maintained their position, did not disperse, although the retreat was a little urgent, but they did not panic, and they withdrew from this plain.
Su Peng did not command his demon army to pursue, he stood in place, waiting for those demon troops who came to support him to come to his place.
Not long after, those demon troops who came with reinforcements also came here.
The leader was the Great Elder of the Demon Clan, although it was carrying a crutch, but its speed was not slow, and it came to Su Peng very vigorously.
"Great Elder, thank you for your reinforcements!"
Su Peng looked at the Great Elder of the Demon Clan who came over and said to it.
When the Great Elder of the Demon Clan heard this, his face was covered with wrinkled brown skin like old bark and squeezed out a smile, and said, "The only person my Demon Clan trusts is you, the City Lord of Su Peng." Naturally, I don't promise that someone will seize your position, this time I heard the message from Elder Dream Tapir, and I immediately dispatched the clan to come, which can be regarded as giving Su Peng City Lord a strong reputation. ”
"Thank you."
Su Peng bowed his hand to the Great Elder of the Demon Clan, and then looked at the retreating Liangzhou Army in the distance.
"How? Shall we pursue them? ”
The Great Elder of the Demon Clan followed Su Peng's gaze, looked at the direction of the retreat of the Liangzhou Army, and asked Su Peng.
Su Peng shook his head and said, "The Liangzhou army has at least 30,000 people, and it has formed a formation, even if we kill them." You have to lose a lot of yourself. The gains outweigh the losses, so it's better not to conflict with them. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, the Great Elder of the Demon Clan looked in the direction of the retreat of the Liangzhou Army, and said to Su Peng, "We are in the Demon Realm. If the demon clan has a conflict. First, skirmishes. Later, if both sides feel that it is not good for both sides to continue fighting. Then there is a need for peace talks, and when peace talks, no matter who is more reasonable, it is the weak side that wants to give a lot of goods to the strong side as compensation, and you are also ready to make peace talks with the leaders of those people? ”
When Su Peng heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Although my Yuncheng is only a city, it is not a weak person, they always can't expose it this time when we are not prepared for a sneak attack, and they always have to pay some price for the other party, but they are not in a hurry at this time, they will always make them regret today's things!" ”
The elder of the demon clan listened and nodded, it was not afraid of making a big fuss, but if Su Peng was calm, it would wonder if Yuncheng was handed over to someone who should not be trusted.
Su Peng and the others waited in place for a while, during which they had their own flying monsters flying in the air to report the situation of the Liangzhou army, and later got the news that the Liangzhou army retreated for thirty miles, and then camped not far from the direction of Linyi.
"Camp there? It seems that the other party still doesn't give up......"
Su Peng got this caution and thought in his heart......
……
……
In the evening, Su Peng and the demon army returned to Linyi City, leaving only a few demon troops to inquire about the intelligence of the Liangzhou army.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Su Peng received the Great Elder of the Demon Clan, but the Great Elder of the Demon Clan also had a lot of things to do, and after chatting for a long time, he left, just bringing the more than 3,000 demon troops it had brought to Su Peng for the time being.
With these three thousand demon troops, the food in Yuncheng suddenly became nervous, most of those demon troops ate meat, and the amount of food was not small, which made Yuncheng meat suddenly twice as nervous, Su Peng sent his subordinates to buy it from the butchers of the restaurant in the city, and only then did he temporarily gather the food of the demon army in the past few days.
Those demon armies were temporarily arranged to rest outside the city near Linyi, anyway, they didn't need camp tents, they could spend the night in caves in the mountains, forests, and caves, Su Peng was not very worried.
Su Peng expected that those Liangzhou troops would not come to attack the city when they saw the number of demon clans today, after all, although the demon clan was not good at defending the city, but Yuncheng had a city wall, and those Liangzhou troops did not dare to come over after estimating their strength.
It's just that Su Peng is a little unhappy in his heart, Liangzhou Assassin Xu Huaiyu has done it for so much today, in addition to wanting to take advantage of Su Peng's unpreparedness to take Yuncheng in one fell swoop, it is estimated that there is also a temptation, if Su Peng does not react, I am afraid that Xu Huaiyu's heart will not die, and sooner or later he will come again to seek Yuncheng.
"I have to give this Xu Huaiyu a heavy blow, let him remember the lesson, so that he doesn't dare to invade Liangzhou, hmph, if he is really excessive, it's a big deal that I will forcibly break into Linyi's assassination mansion, behead Xu Huaiyu under the knife, and then see if I can control Linyi and forcibly occupy his Liangzhou!"
Su Peng thought so in his heart.
Just as Su Peng was thinking, a personal soldier walked in outside, came in and bowed down to Su Peng on one knee, and said: "Lord City Lord, there is a young Taoist outside, who says that he is the old acquaintance of the city lord and wants to ask to see the city lord. ”
"Oh? My old acquaintance? ”
Su Peng listened, but he was a little curious, he knew a few Taoist priests, but they were all elders in the door, and they were not young, when did he meet a young Taoist priest?
"What did he say his name was?"
Su Peng asked the soldiers, and the soldiers said: "I said, he claimed to be a Minghui Daoist, and also said that his common surname was Mu, and he was once attacked by the city lord to avenge some of his own grudges. ”
"Is that him?"
As soon as Su Peng heard this, he immediately thought of who the people outside were.
That person should be Mujiazhuang, who used to live near Linyi, but he offended the big sacrificial wine of Chiqi Road, the whole family was raided, and he almost died in Linyi City, but fortunately Mu Xiaosong was saved by Su Can.
"Didn't he go to Qingyun Mountain? How did you get back? ”
Su Peng felt strange in his heart. He personally sent Mu Xiaosong to the carriage to Qingyun Mountain, it stands to reason that Mu Xiaosong should still be studying art in Qingyun Mountain now, why did he come back so soon?
After thinking about it, Su Peng felt that it was better to ask him face to face, so he said to his own soldiers: "Let him in, he is indeed my old acquaintance." ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers took the order and went out to lure that Mu Xiaosong in.
Su Peng waited for a while, only to see the pro-soldier walking in with a young Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest saw Su Peng. A smile appeared on his face. He said: "Mr. Su, it's really surprising that you have become the city lord after a few months. The trail is bright. It was Mu Xiaosong back then. Does Mr. Su remember me? ”
Hearing this, Su Peng looked at the young Taoist priest, and only felt that he didn't seem to know this person.
This young Taoist priest. The appearance is still Mu Xiaosong's, but his body seems to have risen a lot, higher than before, and this is not the place where Su Peng dare not recognize him, the most important place is the eyes of this young Taoist.
Ordinary young people's eyes are bright and clear, and few are very calm, but the eyes of this young Taoist are deep and abnormal, and those eyes are not like the eyes that only teenagers should have, but like the eyes of a twilight wise man who has seen through countless stories and the vicissitudes of the world, deep, restrained, and profound, so that people can't see what he is thinking.
And this young Taoist, although he looks young, but his body and actions are like old people, not that he is dull and dying, but there is an abnormal calmness, which makes people always feel that they want to blur the age of this person, and always feel that there is an old Taoist in front of him.
Su Peng looked at him roughly, but he didn't recognize him as Mu Xiaosong, and it wasn't until a long time that he connected the image in his mind and said to him, "Are you ...... Mu Xiaosong? How has it changed so much? ”
"It's hard to put into words." Mu Xiaosong listened, shook his head and smiled slightly, and said to Su Peng: "City Lord Su, can you have time to talk to me in detail?" ”
"Well, I also want to know what happened to you, how much has changed you."
Su Peng nodded and said to Mu Xiaosong: "Let's go, come to the back hall with me, and we'll talk in detail." ”
……
In the back hall, Su Peng and Mu Xiaosong chatted in detail for nearly an hour before Mu Xiaosong explained what happened to him.
It turned out that after Mu Xiaosong came out of Linyi, he did come to Qingyunmen.
In Qingyun Mountain, he found the master of the Qingyun Sect of the Esoteric Sect and told the whole thing clearly, and the master of the Qingyun Esoteric Sect identified the authenticity through the magic, so according to the last wish of the master before Mu Xiaosong, Mu Xiaosong was included in the Qingyun Sect and taught the Qingyun Technique.
Qingyunmen Esoteric Cultivation, like Zixia Mountain, where Su Peng is located, has a special introductory test for people who are new to the Esoteric Sect, and that introductory test is called "Ask Three Lives", or "One Dream and Three Lives".
Qingyunmen secret cultivation, there is a strange stone of the town school, called the Sansheng Stone, it is said that if you lie on the Sansheng Stone and sleep, you can dream of a person's past and present lives.
The introductory test of Qingyunmen's secret cultivation is on this three-life stone, and then the door master performs the Qingyunmen's unique technique 'Dream Returning Technique', through which you can sleep and see how many things you can remember in your sleep, and the more things you remember, the greater your potential in the door in the future.
Mu Xiaosong also conducted the introductory test of 'one dream and three lives' on the Sansheng Stone, but he didn't expect that he would sleep directly for five days and five nights in this dream.
In the past five days and five nights, Mu Xiaosong spent two complete lives in a dream, of which the former life was fine, but he was just a woodcutter, and in the previous life, he was a terrible person.
In his previous life, Mu Xiaosong turned out to be a person in Qingyun Esoteric Cultivation, a disciple of the Yang God Ancestor of Qingyun Esoteric Cultivation, and a supreme magic master who had lived for three or four hundred years.
Mu Xiaosong's dream actually directly obtained all the memories of the magic master, but the master's life was really long, so Mu Xiaosong spent five days and five nights in the dream before he woke up.
Mu Xiaosong, who woke up, told the Qingyunmen Esoteric Sect Master of this generation about the things in his dream, and after the Esoteric Sect Master verified it, he actually gave Mu Xiaosong a salute, because Mu Xiaosong's memories before the two lives were the memories of his ancestors.
And this secret cultivator didn't dare to treat Mu Xiaosong as an ordinary disciple, so he accepted the apprentice on behalf of the master and accepted Mu Xiaosong as his own junior disciple, with the Taoist name "Minghui......
After listening to Mu Xiaosong's story, Su Peng looked at Mu Xiaosong, his eyes kept flashing with surprise, and after listening to Mu Xiaosong talk about what he had experienced for a long time, Su Peng spoke: "I really didn't expect that you were the reincarnation of the predecessors in the Qingyunmen Sect ......"
