Death Reincarnation Game Chapter 690: An old friend asks to see you
bsp;The Liangzhou army retreated like a tide, even ignoring Su Peng who was in front of the formation.
Su Peng looked at the monster army coming from a distance. There were about three thousand monsters. However, these monsters did not directly attack the flanks of the Liangzhou Army. Instead, they stopped when they were still some distance away from the Liangzhou Army. down.
Su Peng looked at it and let out a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that these monster armies would just rush forward.
Although the Liangzhou army has retreated, the battle is still in chaos. If those demon armies charge forward, it will probably be a **** battle. By then, my own two thousand demon armies will also have to rush in, and it will be a **** battle. , in the end no one can benefit.
It is better to just rely on intimidation to scare away these Liangzhou troops like now, which is worse than a **** fight between the two sides.
Although the Liangzhou troops retreated, they maintained their position and did not scatter. Although they retreated a little hastily, they did not panic and just withdrew from the plain.
Su Peng did not command his demon army to pursue him. He stood there and waited for the supporting demon army to come to his place.
Not long after, the reinforcements of the demon army also arrived here.
The leader was the Great Elder of the Monster Clan. Although he was leaning on a walking stick, his movement speed was not slow and he came to Su Peng very vigorously.
"Great Elder, thank you for your reinforcement!"
Su Peng looked at the great elder of the demon clan who was walking over and said to him.
Hearing this, the Great Elder of the Demon Clan squeezed out a smile with his wrinkled brown skin like old tree bark, and said: "The only person I, the Demon Clan, trusts is you, City Master Su Peng. Of course not. I promised that someone would seize your position. This time I heard the message from Elder Mengxi. I immediately mobilized the tribe to give City Lord Su Peng a boost of prestige."
"Thank you."
Su Peng bowed his hands to the Great Elder of the Monster Clan, and then looked at the retreating Liangzhou Army in the distance.
"How about it? Should we pursue them?"
The Great Elder of the Monster Clan followed Su Peng’s gaze, looked at the direction in which the Liangzhou Army was retreating, and asked Su Peng.
Su Peng shook his head and said: "The Liangzhou army has at least 30,000 people, and they are in a formation. Even if we kill them, we will lose a lot. The gain is not worth the loss, so it is better not to conflict with them."
"Oh?" After hearing this, the great elder of the demon clan looked towards the direction in which the Liangzhou army was retreating and said to Su Peng: "In our demon world, if there is a conflict between the demon clans, it will be a small conflict at first. Later, if there is a conflict, Both sides feel that continuing the fight will be detrimental to both parties, so they must negotiate for peace. During the peace negotiation, no matter who is more reasonable, the weaker party will give the stronger party a lot of items as compensation. You are also prepared to negotiate with the leaders of those people. ”
After hearing this, Su Peng couldn't help but smile and said: "Although our Yuncheng is just a city, it is not a weak one. They took advantage of our unpreparedness to attack this time, and they can't get away with it. They always want the other side. Paying some price, but not rushing this moment will always make them regret what happened today!"
The elder of the demon clan nodded after hearing this. It is not afraid of the matter getting serious. On the contrary, if Su Peng calms down the matter, it will wonder whether Yuncheng has been entrusted to someone who should not be entrusted to it.
Su Peng and others waited in place for a period of time. During this period, some flying monsters were flying in the sky, reporting the situation of the Liangzhou Army. Later they received the news that the Liangzhou Army had retreated thirty miles. , and then camped not far from Linyi.
"Where to camp? It seems that the other party is still determined to give up..."
When Su Peng got this warning, he thought...
……
……
In the evening, Su Peng and the demon army returned to Linyi City, leaving only a few demon troops behind to inquire about the intelligence of the Liangzhou Army.
In the city lord's palace, Su Peng received the Great Elder of the Demon Clan. However, the Great Elder of the Demon Clan also had many things to do. After chatting for a long time, he left, only to bring the more than 3,000 demon troops he had brought with him. It is temporarily under the leadership of Su Peng.
With the addition of these three thousand demon troops, the food supply in Yuncheng suddenly became tense. Most of these demon troops ate meat, and their appetites were not small, which made Yuncheng's meat supply twice as stressful. Su Peng sent his men to buy it from the butchers in restaurants in the city. We have just temporarily gathered together the food for the demon army for the past few days.
The demon army was temporarily arranged to rest outside the city near Linyi. They did not need tents anyway. They could spend the night in caves in the mountains and forests. Su Peng was not very worried.
Su Peng expected that those Liangzhou troops would not come to attack the city after seeing the number of monsters today. After all, although the monsters are not good at defending the city, Yuncheng at least has a city wall. Those Liangzhou troops should estimate their strength. , and didn’t dare to come over.
It’s just that Su Peng is a little unhappy. Liangzhou Governor Xu Huaiyu did something like this today. In addition to wanting to take Yuncheng while Su Peng was unprepared, he probably also wanted to test it. If Su Peng didn’t In response, I am afraid that Xu Huaiyu’s heart will not die, and sooner or later he will come again to seek Yuncheng.
"I must give this Xu Huaiyu a heavy blow and let him remember his lesson before he dares to invade Liangzhou. Hum, if he really goes too far, at worst, I can force my way into Linyi Governor's Mansion and kill Xu Huaiyu with my sword. , and then see if we can control Linyi and occupy his Liangzhou!"
Su Peng thought so in his heart.
While Su Peng was thinking, a soldier walked in from outside, knelt down on one knee and said to Su Peng, "Lord City Lord, there is a young Taoist outside who says he is an old acquaintance of the City Lord and wants to see the City Lord. ”
"Oh? My old acquaintance?"
After hearing this, Su Peng was a little curious. He knew a few Taoist priests, but they were all elders in the sect and were not young. When did he meet a young Taoist priest?
"What did he say his name was?"
Su Peng asked the soldier, who said: "I told you, he calls himself Taoist Minghui, and his family name is Mu. He once got some revenge from the city lord to avenge him."
"Is it him?"
When Su Peng heard this, he immediately thought of who the person outside was.
That person should be the Mujiazhuang who used to live near Linyi. However, he offended the great sacrificial wine of Chiqi Road, and his whole family was ransacked. He almost died in Linyi City. Fortunately, it was Mu Xiaosong who was saved by Su Can. .
"Didn't he go to Qingyun Mountain? Why did he come back?"
Su Peng felt strange. He personally sent Mu Xiaosong to the carriage heading to Qingyun Mountain. Logically speaking, Mu Xiaosong should still be studying in Qingyun Mountain. Why are you back so soon?
After thinking about it, Su Peng thought it would be better to ask him face to face, so he said to the soldier: "Let him in, he is indeed an old acquaintance of mine."
"Yes!"
The soldiers took the order and went out to lure Mu Xiaosong in.
Su Peng waited for a while and saw the soldier walking in with a young Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest saw Su Peng. A smile appeared on his face and he said: "Mr. Su, after a few months of separation, you have become the city lord. It is really surprising. Xiaodao Minghui is the Mu Xiaosong back then. Does Mr. Su still remember me?"
After hearing this, Su Peng looked at the young Taoist priest and felt that he did not recognize this person.
This young Taoist priest still looks like Mu Xiaosong, but his body seems to have grown a lot taller than before. And this is not what makes Su Peng dare not recognize him the most. The most important thing is the eyes of this young Taoist.
Usually young people's eyes are bright and clear, and rarely very calm. But the eyes of this young Taoist were unusually deep. Those eyes, no matter how you look at them, don't look like the eyes that only teenagers should have. Instead, they look like the eyes of an old wise man who has countless stories and has seen through the vicissitudes of the world. They are deep, restrained, and unusually profound, which makes people feel uncomfortable. No one could tell what he was thinking.
Although this young Taoist looks young, his body and movements are like those of an old man. It’s not that he is sluggish or dying, but he has an unusual calmness that always makes people feel that this is blurring. No matter how old you are, you always feel like you are a seasoned person in front of you.
Su Peng glanced at him and didn't recognize him as Mu Xiaosong. It took him a long while to connect the image in his mind and said to him: "You are... Mu Xiaosong? Why have you changed like this? How big? ”
"It's hard to explain in words." After hearing this, Mu Xiaosong shook his head and smiled slightly, and said to Su Peng: "City Lord Su, do you have time to talk to me in detail?"
"Okay, I also want to know what happened to you to change you so much."
Su Peng nodded and said to Mu Xiaosong: "Come on, come with me to the back hall and we will 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 turns out that after Mu Xiaosong left Linyi, he did come to Qingyun Gate.
In Qingyun Mountain, he found the master of the secret cultivation sect of Qingyun Sect and told the whole story clearly. The master of the secret cultivation sect of Qingyun passed the magic to identify the authenticity and followed the last wish of Mu Xiaosong’s previous master. , took Mu Xiaosong into Qingyun Sect and taught Qingyun techniques.
Qingyun Sect Esoteric Cultivator, like Zixia Mountain where Su Peng is located, has a special entry test for new entrants to the Esoteric Cultivator sect. That entry test is called "Asking Three Lives", or 'One Meng Sansheng'.
Qingyunmen Secret Cultivator has a unique stone called the Sansheng Stone. It is said that if you lie on the Sansheng Stone and sleep, you can dream about a person's past and present lives.
The entrance test of Qingyun Sect's secret cultivation is on this three-life stone, and then the sect leader will perform the Qingyun Sect's unique technique "Dream Recalling Technique". After sleeping on this three-life stone, you can see what you can remember in your sleep. The more things you remember from your past life, the greater your potential in the future.
Mu Xiaosong also took the introductory test of 'One Dream, Three Lives' on the Three Lives Stone, but he didn't expect that he would sleep for five days and five nights in this dream.
During these five days and five nights, Mu Xiaosong lived two complete lives in his dream. The first life was okay, he was just a woodcutter, but the previous life was terrible. people.
In his previous life, Mu Xiaosong was also a member of the Qingyun Secret Cultivator. He was actually a disciple of the Yang Shen Patriarch of the Qingyun Secret Cultivator, and he was a top magic master who had lived for three to four hundred years.
In this dream, Mu Xiaosong directly obtained all the memories of the magic master. However, the master's life was so long that Mu Xiaosong spent five days and five nights in the dream before he woke up. turn around.
After Mu Xiaosong woke up, he told the secret cultivator of the Qingyun Sect about what happened in his dream. After the secret cultivator verified it, the secret cultivator actually saluted Mu Xiaosong because Mu Xiaosong's memories from two previous lives were the memories of his master.
The master of the secret cultivator did not dare to regard Mu Xiaosong as an ordinary disciple, so he took on the role of a disciple and accepted Mu Xiaosong as his junior disciple, with the Taoist name "Minghui"...
After listening to Mu Xiaosong’s story, Su Peng looked at Mu Xiaosong with a look of surprise in his eyes. After listening to Mu Xiaosong talk about what he had experienced for a while, Su Peng said: "I didn’t expect that. , you are actually the reincarnation of the senior in Qingyun Sect..."
