dark battle

Chapter 40

More and more, when the table is full, they put it on the ground, and if there is no room for it on the ground, they simply write it on the ground, sitting on the piles of books and reciting.

I don't know how many years have passed, Chen Xiang stroked his long beard, and said calmly: "Erlang God, come out, I have already broken this barrier."

"Have you memorized everything?"

"Not bad, not missing a single word."

"What's on the ninth line on the eighth page of the third book in the first row from the left?"

Chen Xiang gently stroked the long gray beard hanging on his chest, recalled briefly, and said: "Shang Yang, the representative of Legalism, wrote "Out of the Fortress", "The king's way has a rope, the king's way is one end, and the minister's way is at the other end. The way is different, and the way is different." A rope is one.'”

"What is line No. 30 on page No. 20 in the second row from the right in the sixth book No. 13?"

"A verse by Li Yu, the posthumous master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, 'Ask how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.'"

"No.70, the third row from the right, the fourth row from the bottom, No.30, six pages of the second volume."

"In the "Biography of the King of Wu", King Zhou of Shang said to Daji, 'Beauty, is the body of the phoenix healthy?'"

The sea of ​​books dissipated, and the rocky cold wall outlined the space back to the cramped cave in the secret prison, as if it had been a lifetime away.Only the god in the silver helmet and the crown stands here holding a halberd, which makes people immediately recall the scene before entering the pass.

"I didn't expect you to pass this test. One thing I'm very surprised about is that you, a person who hates reading, how could you memorize these [-] books?"

Chen Xiang smiled indifferently, and there was something deep and honest in his eyes, "Yes, it is five thousand books after all, but as long as I have determination, confidence and patience, I can memorize even fifty thousand books." .”

"It seems that I have made a mistake." Yang Jian's thin lips curled up, revealing his neat white teeth, his brows showed a happy and happy look, and the praise in his eyes was deeply cast on the childish young man opposite him, making this dark cave linger. Feel the warmth.

"You really made a mistake. My beard grows longer every day, and I understand more truths every day. If you understand a little more truth, you will be happier!" In the corner, Chen Xiang smiled all over his face, and habitually stroked the long beard on his chest, but found nothing, "Hey, where is my beard?"

Yang Jian laughed, and the deep and clear laughter echoed in the twists and turns of the cave, as if sweeping away all the haze and dust, like seeing the sun through the clouds, or like the sun rising at the beginning of the morning. "You took advantage of it. It took you three hours to read a book that others could not finish reading in 30 years. What you entered was a dreamland. This level was designed by me with my determination, confidence and patience. Those [-] books were selected from what I have learned in my life. Chen Xiang, you have passed this test, you have also gained determination, confidence and patience, and you can go to see your mother."

Before Chen Xiang could react, the god had disappeared, and the iron grid was slowly raised to make way.

The warm eyes are still in front of the eyes, the hearty laughter is still in the ears, Chen Xiang froze there, unable to recover for a moment.

The wind is blowing in the daytime, and the scenery is rushing westward.The Hunyuan gate opened, and the four eyes looked at each other in the water and stone.Yang Chan stood up and looked at the young man standing at the door in disbelief—the eyebrows and eyes remained the same, darkened, thinner, and taller.

"Mother, I broke God Erlang's trap, I'll rescue you right now!" As he said that, the young man had the small ax in his hand.

Yang Chan hurriedly said: "Chen Xiang, you can't save mother!"

"This ax belongs to the Taishang Laojun, it is extremely sharp, and it will definitely be able to split that beam of light!"

"No, you can't split it!"

Chen Xiang was full of ambition, but he was not willing to listen, "Mother, back up!" He said, he flew straight up and slashed at the beam of light.The beam of light suddenly brightened and bounced Chen Xiang back.Yang Chan was so shaken by the fluctuation of the airflow that her headache was splitting, she fell limply on the round platform.

One blow failed, Chen Xiang sweated all over his head, let out a long cry, and threw himself on again, being knocked back again. "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I don't believe it—" Chen Xiang roared, took a few steps back, and rushed out with all his strength.

"Chen Xiang, stop!"

The air seemed to be still, Chen Xiang's ax was held high, and he finally retracted the strength into his palm.Inside the beam of light and outside of the beam of light, the mother and son, who were three feet apart, looked at each other, one with dissuading eyes, the other full of puzzlement, the only sound in the air was Yu Yang Chan's rapid breathing.

"mother……"

Yang Chan held her heart that was in severe pain from the impact of mana, "You have already caused a landslide, if you continue to chop down, the people of Huashan will suffer..."

Staring at each other for a moment, Chen Xiang put away his moves unwillingly, turned around and fell steadily back to the rocky ground by the water, and fell to his knees with a plop.Sweat and tears mixed with the dust on the face, making it dirty.

"Don't be sad, mother is very satisfied with your current appearance."

Chen Xiang looked at his mother's thin figure in the beam of light from across the bank, his eyes flickered, and he got up suddenly.

"Chen Xiang, where are you going?" Yang Chan had a bad feeling and hurriedly asked.

"I want the Heavenly Court to release you! They won't let you go, I'm just like Monkey King 800 years ago, turning the world upside down!"

"No, you come back! If you do that, it will only lead to a bigger disaster! Chen Xiang, don't go..."

"Mother... in order to save you, the Lotus Lantern was lost, and my fourth aunt died for me! Mother, I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!"

The sour tears blocked his sight, making him unable to see the scene in the secret prison clearly, and unable to see his mother's appearance clearly. It was like a nightmare. He tried his best to break free, but he couldn't wake up no matter what.

"Don't worry, one day, you will be able to rescue mother, but now is not the time, even if you rescue mother, mother is still a sinner who violated the rules of heaven, and the court of heaven will still deal with us."

Chen Xiang doesn't know this truth, but he is a country boy, what can he do?

"Chen Xiang, although mother has violated the rules of heaven, mother has always believed that she has done nothing wrong. Only when the heavens realize this and let them take the initiative to pardon mother can mother live a peaceful life with you. In fact, I have always I was thinking, who is wrong and where is the mistake. Chen Xiang, when you figure it out, you can save your mother, and it will not work to fight against the Heavenly Court."

Outside the cave, Ding Xiang anxiously paced back and forth, "I've been in for three or four hours, why haven't I come out yet? I'll go in and see him!"

Ding An, who was accompanying her, hurriedly stopped the young lady, "Oh, you're going to make trouble!"

This room was pulling, when suddenly a Qingyue female voice sounded: "Ding Xiang, Brother Meishan and Xiao Tiangou are here, you guys hurry up!"

Ding Xiang recognized that it was the voice of the Huashan Banshee. She wanted to take Huashan Banshee as her teacher in recent years. Speaking of swordsmanship, the two of them are half master-student.

Ding Xiang hurriedly yelled into the cave: "Chen Xiang, Brother Meishan and Xiao Tiangou are here, hurry up!"

In trouble

"Chen Xiang, Brother Meishan and Xiao Tiangou are here, hurry up!"

Hearing the reminder from outside the cave, Chen Xiang gripped the hatchet tightly: "It's just in time, teach them a lesson!"

Yang Chan hurriedly said: "Chen Xiang, have you forgotten what mother said just now? Don't confront them, you go, no matter what, don't conflict with them."

Ding Xiang outside the cave murmured belatedly: "Shoutiangou... isn't he dead?"

As soon as the words were finished, Xiaotiangou and Meishan brothers had landed in front of the secret prison cave, and the two mountain gods guarding the cave rushed forward to report Liu Chenxiang's whereabouts.

Seeing Ding Xiang's slightly frowned eyebrows, Xiao Tian Quan couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart, he avoided his eyes and dared not look directly at her, he just pouted his mouth and made a "go fast" mouth shape.Ding Xiang was stunned, and was dragged away by the clever old housekeeper.The gods didn't make things difficult for the two mortals, and went straight into the cave.

The four Meishan brothers were all present, together with Xiaotiangou and two white-haired mountain gods, they poured into the secret prison, but only Yang Chan was sitting on the round platform, and there was no sign of Chenxiang.

Yao Lao Si said: "Third Holy Mother, where is Chen Xiang?"

Yang Chan raised her eyebrows lightly: "He's gone."

Yao Laosi naturally didn't believe it, and suddenly saw a hornet buzzing in front of him.In the secret prison, even the gods with lower morals can't easily get in, let alone a little hornet?Yao Laosi knew what he was doing, he raised and lowered his palms, but he didn't fan them. "He's not dead yet, don't let that wasp escape, kill him!"

A few people got busy catching the hornet, while Yao Lao Si threw the weapon at the door and turned it into a barrier to block Chen Xiang's retreat.A wasp just now turned into tens of thousands of them, enveloping several people and stinging them until they screamed. Only Boss Kang survived.

Yang Chan shook her head helplessly, knowing that she could not persuade this child.

Xiao Tiangou rolled on the ground, "Oh! What should I do? Think of a way!"

Yao Laosi covered his face and dodged back and forth, "Quick! Set fire, burn! Burn them to death!"

Zhang Laoer and Guo Laoliu opened their mouths to spit out flames, burning a few clumps of wasps to ashes, but another wasp took the opportunity to get into their mouths, causing them to cover their mouths and scream in pain.

When Yang Chan lived in Guanjiangkou, she was acquainted with the Meishan brothers, so she had to cover her mouth with her sleeve so as not to smile too clearly in front of them.

A few people huddled together by the narrow water and tossed and turned. Boss Kang couldn't help standing aside. Seeing that the brothers couldn't cure these hornets, he hurriedly said, "Fourth, close the door! Fourth!"

Yao Laosi originally wanted to trap Chen Xiang in prison, but unexpectedly blocked his family's escape route, hurriedly put away the barrier, and fled with all his brothers in a panic.

Chen Xiang appeared, listening happily to their scattered and hasty footsteps as they fled away.

Yang Chan scolded: "You child, you are still naughty at such an age."

"Who told them to bully me back then? Mom, they're all gone anyway, so I'll stay here with you a little longer
