Ascension Through Generations

Ten days later, southwest of Songlan Mansion, on an official road outside Qian'an City, more than a dozen red-armored knights were guarding three carriages and moving forward slowly.

Each of these red-armored knights has an extraordinary aura, and their rich innate true energy cannot stop flowing out. It is shocking that they are all a group of innate martial sects.

The leader had a face as thick as a jujube, and an unsheathed long sword hung on his waist. The blade of the sword shone with cold light, and there was a faint aura, but it was a high-quality magical sword.

This team of red-armored knights were the famous Red Dragon Riders of the Great Gu Tian Dynasty, who were responsible for protecting the high-ranking officials and nobles of the imperial court. The leader was none other than a Red Dragon Colonel.

Dusk gradually fell, the official road was sparsely populated, and a ruined temple suddenly appeared in the distance.

"Sir, it's getting late. Let's find a place to stay. When we get up early tomorrow and start our journey, we should be able to reach Qian'an City." The Red Dragon Colonel sent his horse to the carriage and whispered inside. .

Suddenly a middle-aged voice with a cold tone came from the carriage: "Well, I understand. I would like to trouble Captain Jiang to see if there is a suitable place to stay nearby."

Upon hearing this, Captain Red Dragon immediately replied: "Sir, there is a ruined temple a few miles ahead, which is perfect for a night's rest."

"Well, let's go to the temple and rest for the night."

"Yes, sir."

After saying that, Captain Red Dragon clapped his horse and left, then ordered his knights to speed up their horses.

As a result, the team immediately sped up a few points.

Not long after, the convoy arrived at the ruined temple and stopped in the open space outside the temple.

A white-faced old man with a majestic look and a rich body stepped out of the carriage. Beside the old man was a young woman with a gauze covering her face. The woman had a graceful figure and a fragrant fragrance.

A group of Red Dragon Riders surrounded the old man and walked to the door of the earth temple, only to see the fire flashing inside. There was a faint sound of laughter and slapstick.

"Come here, come in and take a look." Upon seeing this, Captain Jiang's face immediately darkened and he ordered to the knight next to him.

One person immediately took the order and entered the temple first. After a while, he came out again, clasped his fists and said:

"Reporting to the captain, they are just three passers-by. I have already questioned them. One is a doctor who sells medicine, one is a scholar with no power, and the last one is the scholar's boy."

"Well, even so, let's go in! Everyone is tired after a day's journey." After hearing this, the white-faced old man immediately ordered.

"Yes, sir."

Captain Jiang saw the adult speaking and immediately waved his hands to signal for his men to come in.

Then, a group of knights, surrounded by the white-faced old man and the woman in gauze, filed into the ruined temple. They saw that two fires, one large and one small, had been lit under the altar in front of the earth temple.

Next to one of the larger fires sat a handsome young scholar. The scholar was busy writing and didn't seem to notice that a group of uninvited guests had arrived in the temple.

Next to him was a half-grown book boy with sideburns. At this time, the child was feebly throwing branches into the fire.

Next to the smaller fire, there was a middle-aged man with a mustache wearing a yellow cloth coat. He had a sallow face and thin muscles, and sinister eyebrows. He did not look like a good person at first glance.

The middle-aged man with a mustache held up a handful of incense, lit it on the fire, and then inserted the incense sticks on the ground near his feet, forming a five-foot circle, surrounding himself in the middle.

Immediately, a faint smell of sandalwood filled the temple.

When the other knights entered the earth temple, Captain Jiang gave an order, and the knights immediately divided the work and cooperated skillfully. Some cleared the open space, some went out to find firewood, and some unloaded bedding, tables and stools, and lacquer boxes and tea sets from the carriage. And many more items.

After a while, the fire was lit, and all the items were placed in place one by one. The old man and the gauze woman both entered the banquet. There were more than a dozen exquisite dishes in front of them, and there was even a pot of sake next to them.

At this time, the Red Dragon Knight took out some dried meat from his body and started eating quietly.

The Red Dragon Guards are indeed elite, and they are all well-trained as expected.

"Captain Jiang, we have a lot of food here, and we can't finish it. Why don't we come over and eat some together." The gauze woman glanced at Captain Jiang, who was wearing armor, and suddenly said with a smile.

"Thank you madam for your kindness. I'd better eat together with my brothers." Captain Jiang glanced at her and shook his head in refusal.

"Haha, I won't force you to force me to do this. Master, let's eat!" Seeing this, the gauze woman didn't get angry. She just gently pushed the white-faced old man next to her and said softly.

"Well, what Madam said is, let's eat!" The white-faced old man suddenly said in a low tone as if he had just woken up from a dream.

About half an hour later, the old man and the gossamer woman had finished eating, and the leftover lettuce had been removed. The Red Dragon Riders dispersed around the two, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to close their eyes and regulate their breathing.

At this moment, the young scholar who was fascinated by the book suddenly laughed out loud and praised repeatedly: "Wonderful, so wonderful! Humans and ghosts have different paths, and good and evil are rewarded! Taoist Zhao actually beheaded him again. A ghost.

The ancients said that beauty is like jade in books, but who knew that beautiful women are actually painted-skinned demons?

By the way, this awakening spell must also be written, so as to save some people from being indistinguishable from ghosts. "

The middle-aged doctor at the fire on the other side seemed to be startled by the scholar's voice. He raised his head and looked over blankly.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the double-horned book boy next to the scholar suddenly seemed to be energetic. He dropped the branch in his hand and shouted with disgust: "Hey, uncle, don't you think this place stinks! Besides, you care?" Don't you care? If you don't care, if something from outside rushes in, I won't stop you later."

This book boy's face is childish, but his voice is unusually old-fashioned, and his tone is old and hoarse, like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life.

"No, there's something going on outside!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Colonel Jiang's expression changed, and he suddenly jumped up from the ground with a loud shout. At the same time, he pulled out the magic sword from his waist, held it in front of him, and then stared out of the temple door expressionlessly.

At this moment, it was quiet outside the temple, and no one was seen.

But the next second, there was a sudden rustling outside the temple door, and the ground shook slightly, as if countless small animals gathered outside and crawled around the ruined temple quickly.

In the dark night, a pair of blood-colored eyes suddenly appeared out of thin air from the crack in the wall next to the door and the vent in the roof, their eyes full of greed and hunger.

When Captain Jiang saw this, his sword eyebrows gradually rose up. Suddenly, the magic sword in his hand moved, and three white sword lights shot out, passing through the door in a flash.

A scream was heard, and the bloody eyes outside the temple disappeared instantly.

At the same time, the other red dragon knights drew their weapons and protected the two white-faced old men with serious expressions as they retreated behind the altar.

After one blow, Lieutenant Jiang turned around fiercely, raised his sword and pointed it at the three scholars, shouting: "Who are you? How dare you attack an official of the imperial court? Aren't you afraid of being executed by the Nine Tribes?"

Seeing this, the book boy jumped three feet high in anger, and yelled back with his hands on his hips with an arrogant look on his face: "Boy, stop scaring me with a broken sword. Even though I've been defeated, I'm not someone who can be bullied by a mere Qi-refining cultivator." Besides, it’s not me and you who are going to deal with you, but that bitch who considers demons his father.”

Jiang Xiaowei's expression changed slightly when he heard this. At this moment, the white-faced old man who was protected behind the altar suddenly spoke: "Well, Jiang Xiaowei, don't just listen to other people's lies. These three are acting suspiciously and must be in the same group. Why don't you quickly take one piece of it off?"

"Sir, please get out of here quickly." Jiang Xiaowei stared at the scholar, the scholar and the middle-aged doctor, and shouted at the same time without looking back.

"Hey, no one can leave this place alive without my permission."

At this time, the middle-aged doctor spoke with a smile, and his mustache looked weird and ridiculous.

But as the rustling sounds outside reappeared, the dense blood eyes reappeared, and most of the people present were unable to laugh even if they wanted to.

Because at this moment, waves of stench mixed with the cold wind poured into the temple, and the air was quickly filled with a strong fishy stench.

Suddenly,

The middle-aged doctor suddenly fell to the ground. A large amount of gray and black coarse hair quickly grew all over his body. His head began to twist and deform. His lower jaw protruded forward, and his two front teeth protruded from his lips, making him look huge and sharp. His mustache suddenly spread out in all directions, like a rat. Must.

At first glance, this man looked like the reincarnation of a mouse spirit.

Squeak!

At this moment, countless cats-sized rats with gray fur poured into the temple from all directions, like a tide, from the entrance, walls, cracks in the roof, and so on.

Countless mice were huddled together, and there seemed to be a large gray blanket on the wall. There were densely packed rat heads sticking out of the blanket, with dense blood shining on them.

The rat blanket slowly squirmed and approached everyone. The open space in the temple is rapidly shrinking visibly to the naked eye.

"My lord, step back!"

"The red dragon knights set up a formation and immediately escort the master and rush out."

"Be careful of that human-rat, and also pay attention to whether there are rat monsters outside! I'll call one, two, three, and everyone will rush out together."

Lieutenant Jiang remained calm in the face of danger and hurriedly retreated in front of everyone. While giving orders in a hurried voice, the magic sword in his hand suddenly burst into dazzling brilliance. In an instant, he slashed out continuously, and saw pieces of sword light swaying out.

But this time the target was not the rats in front of them, but the wall behind them.

Just as the temple wall collapsed, the man-rat screamed angrily.

The next moment, around the ruined temple, a large number of gray-haired rats were rubbing against the ground and walls. They jumped up and flew into the air, biting everyone present without fear of death.

"Get out of my way!" Immediately from the other side of the temple, the double-horned book boy shouted in disgust, stretched out his white fist, and punched hard.

Boom!

A huge ball of demonic fist light was seen sweeping out. Countless gray rats were the first to bear the brunt. As soon as they touched the fist light, they were strangled into pulp by the hidden surging fist power, and a large open space was cleared in an instant.

However, these big gray-haired rats were not afraid of life and death. Under the control of their leader, they even rushed towards the double-horned book boy without fear of death.

Hey!

When the double-horned book boy saw this, he felt a wave of evil aura coming over him. He let out a weird laugh, sat down on his horse, and punched out again. The light from his fist was like a beam of light as thick as an arm, and he rushed out unstoppably, knocking out those who were in front of him. All the rats were cleared.

Not only that, even the entire temple wall was blasted by the light beam, creating a huge hole as high as a person. After the light beam broke through the temple wall, it still had enough power to plow the ground into a three-foot-wide pit. Disappeared into the deep night.

This punch seemed to consume a large part of Shuangjiao Shutong's strength.

After punching, his face suddenly turned pale, and then he suddenly turned his head and shouted to the scholar: "Master, I only have the power of one punch. Now you either have to release my restraint, or you have to take action quickly. Otherwise, we will Everyone will die here tonight. There is a big guy outside!"

After listening to this, the handsome scholar said without raising his head: "You block it first. I have just started writing my article 'Grandma Yinshan Huai Lao' and I can't stop writing."

"Fuck, I'm really unlucky for the eighth time in my life, I actually lied to you!" The book boy yelled when he saw this, and couldn't help but retreat slowly backwards.

Compared with this side, the other side is the main battlefield, and the target of the middle-aged man-rat is the Lord Jun Cheng who is about to take office.

With several loud "boom" and "boom" sounds, the walls on both sides of the temple shattered and opened, and densely packed gray-haired rats poured in from the gap.

A very small number of gray rats are much larger than their companions, almost as big as ordinary wolf dogs. They exude a faint demonic aura and are actually first-order demon rats.

As soon as these first-level demon rats appeared, they took the initiative to find the Red Dragon Riders and immediately fought with them.

The Red Dragon Knights are all innate warriors, and each of them can barely handle one or two first-level demon rats. If there are more, they will be reduced to rats.

Lieutenant Jiang wielded his magic sword, slashing out streaks of sword light like blades. Each sword could clear away a whole area, but there were too many rats in front of him. Even if he killed more, the number of rats in front of him still did not decrease at all.

At this time, a sharp rattle suddenly came from the darkness near the ruined temple.

Upon hearing this sound, the rats immediately became more violent and fearless of death.

The black shadow flashed, and the man-rat actually came over to kill him. The strength of this move was not low, his movements were as fast as the wind, his claws were flying, and his demon power was following him like the wind. He actually stopped Captain Jiang by himself and beat him. He retreated step by step.

In the blink of an eye, the white-faced old man and others had to retreat to the temple, and the situation was precarious.

Zhizhi!

A black light broke through the night, fell outside the temple door, and turned into a black-haired mouse about a foot long.

This rat is petite in size, with cunning and agile eyes. Its black fur is as smooth as satin, and its body is filled with a strong demonic aura. It is a second-level demonic rat that is comparable to a foundation-building rat.

As soon as he saw the real master appearing, Colonel Jiang's face changed wildly and he shouted: "No, my lord, take out the official seal quickly."

At this moment, the white-faced old man seemed to have heard nothing. He stayed in place expressionlessly, motionless, but he remembered to hold the gauze woman's arm tightly.

Captain Jiang was extremely anxious when he saw this, "Sir, it's too late, take out the official seal quickly! The official seal has the blessing of national luck, and it is the nemesis of all evil spirits."

At this time, Zhao Sheng put down his brush, stood up, stretched, and then said: "Stop shouting! You escorted us all the way. Didn't you see that there was something wrong with that woman? Your adults have long been adults." The family’s puppet and plaything.”

As he finished speaking, a powerful aura gradually rose from his body, and a wisp of red light suddenly shot out from the center of his eyebrows. After flying into the air, it expanded countless times in an instant and evolved into a huge nine-petal flaming red lotus. Attracted everyone's attention.

"What?!"

"Squeak!"

"Ah, it's Karma Fire Red Lotus!"

"Sir, we are saved! The scholar is not, the master is actually a Red Lotus Walker of the state religion."

Looking at the faces of ecstasy, surprise, and fear, Zhao Sheng suddenly smiled and turned his eyes to the silent woman in gauze.

"Today, I wanted to wait for the little mouse to fall into the trap, but I didn't expect that a ghost cultivator would come to my door. It's wonderful! The theory of luck is really wonderful!"
