Chapter 608: Sunset and dusk. The mountains are high, tigers can leap, and the rivers allow fish to swim. A big river that divides the Central Plains in two runs from east to west. Only the two words "Yangtze River" can express its majesty. Although the world is in chaos, people still have to live, especially the fishermen who make a living on the Yangtze River. Ninety percent of the time, they worry about how to make a living at home. The ferries on the river are still full of guests, but most of them are coming from north to south. Jiangbei Road has been involved in the war by Luo Yao's million-strong army. The people are as afraid of soldiers as they are of tigers. Everyone has relatives, so most of the people who can find a place to hide have hid. The people with their families took a boat to go south. When they boarded the boat and looked back to the north of the Yangtze River, everyone felt a little pinched in their hearts. If it weren't for natural disasters or man-made disasters, who would be willing to be homeless and live under someone else's roof? There are a lot of people crossing the river recently, so after the ferry leaves people on the south bank, they immediately rush to the north bank. One more trip can earn hundreds of more copper coins. The most you can earn in one day is several taels of silver. Especially the rich people who spend a lot of money and don't want to be crowded on a boat with others. Most of them give a lot of money to charter the boat south. However, although the fishermen are greedy for the money that the rich people have escaped, no one does this. They will loudly tell the rich people that if they want to cross the river, just take the same boat with everyone else, and if they don't like it, don't come up. The angry wealthy people cursed loudly, but the fishermen refused. "Bah!" A boatman docked the boat on the south bank, watched the well-dressed rich and other people ashore together, and spat thickly: "You think a few stinky money is enough? I'm willing. I can only cross the river if I carry you. If I don¡¯t want to carry you, I¡¯ll just wait to die on the north side. If you are so capable, why are you running away?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± asked the boatman of the boat next to me. "It's okay. Those people wanted to charter a boat, but I scolded them." "Oh, Liu Laosan, who regards wealth as his life, is actually so generous. It's rare." "Fuck you, uncle, when will I regard wealth as life?" Wealth is like fate, um the year before last, I even treated you to a tea egg! " "Fuck, do you want me to give you a reed chicken, Liu Laosan, I don't know yet? You? If my aunt hadn't told me that the boat must be full before we can leave, and we are not allowed to pick up passengers or charter the boat, even poor people and beggars must be carried, how could you have such courage? Since my aunt came to our place, you are better than before. You are much more honest. Everyone looked down on you before, but now you have become a bit more like a man. By the way, my aunt is going to your house today, do you know?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The third child was stunned for a moment: "Why are you going to my house!" He was obviously shocked. The boatman said: "Look at what a coward you are. The last time you were slapped into the water by my aunt, you were scared to death, right? Don't worry, my aunt is so big that she can be as knowledgeable as you? She heard that there is a disease in your family. Dear mother, you are greedy for money just to treat me, so I went to your house early in the morning. My aunt said that she also knows some medical skills to see if she can be of any help. " Liu Laosan's lips twitched a few times. My nose felt sore and I wanted to cry. ¡°Ouch, are you going to shed tears?!¡± The boatman laughed. "Shh" Liu Laosan glared at him: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute." "Please take me across the river." The two people were talking and laughing when suddenly an old voice came from the shore. Liu Laosan took a look and found an old man who looked very old, with a stooped body and a hunched back. He was wearing very new clothes, and a very new pair of boots on his feet, but because his waist seemed to be no longer straight, the new clothes did not appear to be very straight. "Old man, are you going to Jiangbei?" Liu Laosan hurriedly advised: "Whether you are visiting relatives or something else, it's better not to go because there is chaos in the north. It's not that I won't take you, but you won't be able to run away if there is chaos in the army. It's moving." "It's because I'm running out of energy, so I'm in a hurry." The old man smiled and got on Liu Laosan's boat: "Let's go, I'll give you a lot of money." "Liu Laosan. He shook his head: "Don't say I didn't advise you. Look, all the boats heading north are empty, but is there a boat carrying guests? A few hundred miles to the north is the battlefield, where the imperial army and Luo Yao's soldiers are killing each other. The sky was dark and the earth was dark. It is said that General Liu Enjing led his troops to stop Luo Yao's troops in Fire Fox City. General Xu Xiaogong led an army of hundreds of thousands from behind. Luo Yao was attacked on both sides. He was already reluctant. Pang Ba led his troops to kill Luo Yao. After a while, I had no choice but to retreat and stationed myself a few hundred miles north of the Yangtze River." "EhXu Xiaoxu.How did you get here? " asked the hunchbacked old man. "It was Pang Ba who let him here. I really don't understand who is with whom. When Pang Ba led his army across the river, I asked the soldiers and they said that they were allies with King Yong Luo Yao. But when we arrived at Jiangbei Road, we were together with the imperial court again. The army who released Xu Xiaogong came over and stabbed Luo Yao hard in the back. These things are all told by customers, but I don¡¯t understand them anyway. " "Haha" The old man smiled and stroked the ancient sword in his hand: "We have to walk a few hundred miles less, not bad There is no eternal alliance in this world, especially in troubled times, it is even rarer. "After the old man said this, his face suddenly changed and he murmured: "I didn't expectthe momentum of hundreds of years could be so powerful. I think the formation in Dalun Temple is also a general formation, using the ground to nourish energy and then defend against the enemy. No wonder Qing Zheng So difficult. It's a pity that it would have been better if I were a few years younger, but the oil is running out" Liu Laosan didn't know what nonsense he was mumbling, and he didn't bother to ask. He knew that old people have this habit of talking to themselves, such as His mother would also talk like this, but she was just talking to herself: "I have several hundred taels of silver in my package. The old man smiled at Liu Laosan: "If I fall asleep for a while, please don't wake me up, and the money will be regarded as my reward." Don't touch me, don't call me, no matter what happens, okay? " "That's okay. If you feel sleepy, just take a nap for a while. "Liu Laosan smiled at the old man and said to himself that people like to take naps when they are old. Jiangbei Road Yongjun Camp Luo Yao frowned deeply when he looked at the map in front of him. He has led troops for decades, and since Xu Xiaogong knew a lot about human nature, but he still didn't expect that Pang Ba would lead his troops to get out of the way, so that Xu Xiaogong caught Yong Jun off guard from behind. Until now, he was still abiding by the minimum rules and had nothing to do. With his extremely strong cultivation, he slaughtered all the generals in the imperial court. The first reason was that Zhang Yiyang was in Liu Enjing's army, and the second reason was that even if he was impatient, he didn't want to look down on him. Luo Xiaotu, who was named the general, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want my subordinates to lead the troops and charge for a while? " Luo Yao shook his head slightly: "Wait a minute, Pang Ba has obviously reached an agreement with the court people. Those people in Tonggu Academy want to deal with me first. It seems that they are also impatient. If I lead troops to attack Liu Enjing, Pang Ba and Xu Xiaogong will immediately lead troops to harass my flank. I underestimated Pang Ba's people. They crossed the river not to attack Chang'an, but to target me. " Just as he was about to continue talking, his expression suddenly changed: "Everyone, please don't go out. No matter what happens outside, you are not allowed to interfere. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed. " He strode out of the tent, raised his head and looked at the sky to the south. A stream of rainbow came flying from the sky. " I spent those years hiding in Sui Dynasty, and I have lost my cultivation and dare not fight with you. Since you are here today, you have fulfilled my long-cherished wish. After hearing for so long that you are the number one person in the Central Plains, I am still a bit confused about not having a fight. I am in the west and you are in the east. Originally, we were not invading each other, but I crossed the line, so this battle is inevitable. " He looked at the flowing rainbow and spoke with a solemn expression. "You have nothing to say to me? " That ball of light stopped a hundred meters away from Luo Yao, motionless. " That's right, where did all the nonsense come from. Just hit it. Luo Yao took a deep breath: "I heard that you only have one sword. No matter who your opponent is, you don't have to use a second sword. Come and try today. Can you kill me with one sword?" ! " He took a fierce step forward, and golden flames burned out of his body instantly. The flames were blazing, five or six meters high. But the karmic fire that burned everything gradually changed its shape with Luo Yao's footsteps, and finally It turned into a giant Buddha sitting cross-legged, wrapping Luo Yao in it. The golden Buddha's eyes were clear, and the golden threads in his body were becoming more and more solid. Each of his hands held this golden Buddha. There is a method of cultivation: "No one has ever been able to break my Buddha's presence. "Luo Yao looked at the light group in the distance: "Come on! "Obviously, he was beyond excited. He had been looking forward to this battle for too long. The light ball suddenly moved forward and turned into a long sword full of ancient meaning. It stabbed straight towards Luo Yao's heart. It's not too flashy to be seen clearly, it's just straight and upright, and it doesn't look powerful, just like a sword thrust by a beginner in martial arts. Luo Yao looked ferocious and shouted again. : ¡°Come and fight! I want to destroy youThis is the first in the Central Plains! "The ancient sword flew over and pierced the golden Buddha, but the karmic fire that could burn everything had no effect on the ancient sword. The sword penetrated the Buddha's heart, with a surprised and frightened expression on his face. The one in the Buddha The same goes for Luo Yao. He never expected that Fo Lin, who had gathered all his cultivation power, could not block that ordinary sword! The sword moved very slowly, but it was not stopped. , pierced the heart of the Buddha, the look of fear on the Buddha's face became more and more intense, and even a thousand hands and ten thousand spells could not stop the sword from the south. Luo Yao was shocked and turned pale, trying to gather himself again. The sword of Nei Jin had already reached his heart, and then pierced his skin. He claimed that his golden body was immortal, but today he felt the aura of death, and Luo Yao had already cut through his clothes, skin, and then flesh. His face turned pale with fright. He could clearly feel the sword entering his body. The tip of the sword was just a hair away from poking his heart. It seemed like a very slow process, but those were the same. No one peeping out from the big tent saw what happened. Luo Yao knew that he was going to die. It was the first time that death was so close. When the ferry docked on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Liu Laosan glanced at the man sleeping cross-legged. The injured old man suddenly found that the ancient sword he was holding was gone. He was startled and quickly went over and shook the old man: "Old man, did your sword fall into the river? I didn't steal it. Although I am greedy for money, my hands and feet are very clean! You can't blackmail me, I really haven't seen you! " Yongjun Camp Luo Yao was already in despair. He did not expect that with such a level of cultivation, he could not block that mediocre sword. The tip of the sword was already pressed against his heart, and it did not take a second. It can pierce. With a buzz, the light group in front of him suddenly dispersed, and an ancient sword floated in the air. Where was the person holding the sword? Luo Yao's pupils suddenly shrank and murmured: "It's just a sword." ? " Liu Laosan looked at the beautiful village girl in front of him with a miserable face and explained: "It's really none of my business. He said he wanted to sleep for a while and wouldn't let me wake him up, but my aunt, Who knew he actually died in his sleep? When he got on the boat, I tried to persuade him that it would be better to stay at home at such an old age, but he refused to listen. " The village girl wearing a blue floral cotton skirt looked at the old man, her face was frighteningly white. The boatmen didn't know why my aunt's hands were shaking so badly, and why her eyes were full of sadness and shock. My aunt's face was frighteningly white. In the more than a year since she came, she has never been afraid of anything, but this time, she seemed to be really frightened. The village girl knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old man Luo Yao inserted it into her. He took out the ancient sword floating in the air and looked at the blood on the tip. He just stood there motionless, as if he had turned into a stone statue and lost his life. Thousands of stars. " I don't know how long it took, Luo Yao bowed to the south: "I have been taught! " He stood up and ordered: "Go! Make me three thousand white flags, I want to bury the sword.¡± ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ By the Yangtze River There is a solitary grave A sword goes north for seven hundred miles Sunset Dusk PS: At the end of this volume, too many people died.
