Chapter 73: The Black Mountain Soldier
Jishan is mainly composed of Cambrian and Ordovician limestone, and some parts are Sinian quartzite, Qianmei rocks and schist.
In addition to the steep mountain slopes, karst development in limestone areas, stone buds, trenches and caves can be seen everywhere, which makes Zhou Yang unable to imagine how such an environment can live in people.
As the saying goes, relying on the sea to eat the sea, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain.
That's because there are forests and animals in the mountains, but in addition to snakes, insects, rats and ants, it is estimated that even birds are hard to see in such mountains, unless there is enough food and water in the cave.
However, the Black Mountain Army has gathered together recently, so it is impossible to transport and accumulate things on the mountain.
"Maybe General Le Jin was wrong, the names of Zhang Niujiao and the Black Mountain Army may just be a coincidence." Wen Long began to complain.
This guy ran very fast, but his endurance was not as good as Ren Hao, and he could not be compared with Zhou Yang.
However, Ren Hao and Zhou Yang did not respond to him, just because they were thinking about something silently.
Wenlong felt that he was blowing the wind alone. After a long time, he finally couldn't help asking again: "I think we should go down the mountain! These thieves are not on the mountain."
"No, General Le Jin guessed right." Zhou Yang then said.
"There are indeed signs of people here." Ren Hao also said.
"Look at that side." Zhou Yang stood by the cliff on the top of the mountain, pointed to a stone tablet on the open ground in the distance, and recited, "Zhu was Xu You, and his roots were in Ji Mountain."
"So?" Wenlong was still confused by the monk Zhang Er, "What does this have to do with the Black Mountain Army?"
"It is said that Xu You was once the teacher of Yao, Shun and Yu, so later generations called him the Grandmaster of the Three Generations." Ren Hao explained on the side, "The Taiping Cult is the peasant army that revolted with the dissatisfaction of the court and the hardship of the people."
Seeing that Wenlong was attentive, Zhou Yang continued to help him add: "Zhang Niujiao would choose to be in such a place. In addition to the name of Taipingzhai Mountain, he also worships Yao, Shun and Yu's wisdom, and yearns for the Han Dynasty to produce a holy king like them."
Ren Hao said again: "So Zhang Niujiao probably compared himself to a hermit like Xu You.
Wen Long was still skeptical and said, "By these, can we determine that Zhang Niujiao is in the mountain?"
Zhou Yang said: "Of course not only these, the most important thing is that there are indeed people living here, and there is no one else, so it is undoubtedly the Black Mountain Army."
Wenlong asked, "Why?"
Ren Hao turned his back to the wind outside the mountain and chuckled, "You can see it yourself."
I saw two swordsmen standing in front of the tor, one tall and one short at some point.
One of the swordsmen was as tall as two meters tall, but his eyes were cold and he didn't look like a big silly person. Instead, it made people feel that he had no weaknesses on his body.
Although the other man was only at the height of the tall man's waist, and two sharp bent hairs were erected on the left and right sides of the head, which looked a bit out of place, but because of his extremely strong body, people mistakenly thought that this was a monster transformed by a bison.
The two have a huge contrast, but they have one thing in common, that is, they have black cloth strips tied to their left arms.
"Is the black cloth strip the logo of the Black Mountain Army?" Ren Hao asked in a sarcastic tone, "Do you want to go to Luoyang to hire a painter and help you design a pattern as a military flag?"
"wrong!"
A loud thunder sound echoed among the mountains for a long time, but the two of them kept silent.
As the echo gradually disappeared, the two stood left and right.
A man appeared in the middle, raised his huge hammer with both hands, and yelled again in the sound of a bell-like voice: "That is a mourning for Master Zhang."
Except for the two people who were tall and short, Zhou Yang controlled his mind with his own cultivation, while Ren Hao and Wen Long were obviously shocked by the series of roars.
"If I guess correctly, you should be Mr. Lei Gong from the Black Mountain Army!" Zhou Yang said calmly as if he was talking to his friends who had been familiar with him for a long time, and his tone was not humble and disrespectful, "I have long admired Daming."
"I have long admired Daming?" The man holding a giant hammer suddenly said at a normal volume.
In fact, in addition to asking the other party to indicate that this was just a trick, Zhou Yang also hoped to interrupt.
Because Ren Hao only felt uncomfortable at most, he would not have sat down on the ground and felt in pain like Wen Long.
But the other party couldn't think that Ren Hao and Wen Long would become his companions, so they pretended not to care. However, it was a lie to admire Daming for a long time. It was just that what Ye Xuan introduced before, the four commanders and the nine commanders.
It seems that this guy who is known as Thunder God must have guessed it correctly, but I don’t know which level these three people are.
Zhou Yang thought that the Black Mountain Army originated from the Yellow Turban Army and also belonged to the peasant uprising category.
However, these people are all experts in the Green Forest, so they cannot be ordinary people. However, they should have a good impression of grassroots civilians who are still trapped in dire straits.
So he planned to get close to the other party and said tentatively: "Next Zhou Yang, on the way back from Chang'an, he saw many hungry people along the way. Everyone was celebrating the merits of the rebel army. It is said that there were loud voices in the army that claimed to be "Thunder King". He was bold enough to guess, but I don't know if it was right."
The man with giant hammer said in a deep voice: "I am the Black Mountain divine soldier Lei Gong. Today I will bring my disciples Zhangba and Qingniujiao to take the life of Zhou Taishou."
When Zhou Yang heard this, he knew that the tall man should be 800, and the other short man with a bull head was definitely a green ox horn. It seems that this ox horn does attach great importance to the title.
"Go ahead to pass this level." Before Zhou Yang responded, Ren Hao volunteered to stand up. "In the next Ren Hao, if any of you can survive under my three arrows, you will present your head with both hands."
Ren Hao did not make bets when he did not understand his opponent's strength, but had full confidence in himself, and at the same time he had to overwhelm the opponent first in terms of momentum.
Zhou Yang learned about Ren Hao's bow and arrow. At that time, he cunningly defeated Ren Hao by first learning the Taiping Sutra, snake venom darts, the Nebula Sword in his hand, and the opponent's underestimation of the enemy and his various tactics.
It seems that Ren Hao is no longer the same as before, otherwise he would not have dared to escort Yun'er to the dangerous place in Wancheng.
But he didn't expect that Ren Hao would become such a powerful aura after several years. Even Zhou Yang felt that the person in front of him was no longer the captain of the bow and cavalry under Li Jue's tent back then.
"I have taken over Ren Hao's life." The short man stood up and said.
He took out a pair of round shields from behind. It seemed that they were made of cowhide, and they were the absolute equipment to restrain the arrows and flying arrows. He just didn't know how this short man would attack the other party.
However, if Ren Hao really can't take the opponent within three arrows, he really doesn't know how to end it.
Now that the only comparison of weapons is the archer, the archer has lost half.
Zhou Yang was secretly worried, and saw the tall man who claimed to be a squat, standing up, pointing at Wen Long who was squatting in the middle, and shouting: "Three to three, the prefect Zhou will leave it to Master Lei Gong. In order to save time, I, a squat, will take the life of this brother."
After saying that, he flew over and stopped in front of Wenlong.
With his tall figure, he can actually have a speed no less than Wenlong. It seems that Wenlong, who was in a mess when he saw Lei Roar just now, was sure to win this battle.
Both of his subordinates seemed to have the determination to win against Ren Hao and Wen Long.
Zhou Yang remained silent, hoping that he could return his momentum to his companions, so he swung the tiger roar spear from behind to the sky and stood up and said: "Then Mr. Lei will not be idle anymore. I want to see him later. In addition to Lei Roar, will he have more powerful abilities?"
Lei Gong snorted coldly: "I will definitely not disappoint Zhou Taishou."
It was too late to say it, then it was soon.
When the words were finished, Zhou Yang felt a black swelling over the sky.
It turned out that the giant hammer of Thunder God fell from far to near and from the sky.
No matter how powerful the tiger roar spear in Zhou Yang's hand is, if it encounters the breaking and knocking of this heavy weapon, it will inevitably be the result of being broken into two pieces, and even he will be crushed under the hammer.
"boom!"
The giant hammer hit the ground, and dust and stones fell from the air around it.
Zhou Yang had already flashed to the side, but a cold sweat broke out from behind, but it did not make him confused. He just saw an arrow inserted into the green ox-horned leather shield not far away, and knew that Ren Hao had taken the first move unfavorable.
"Don't be distracted!"
The reminder of Thunder God appeared together with the giant hammer, and cracks appeared again on the ground.
This time, Zhou Yang hid more embarrassed than before, just because he was distracted to pay attention to his companions. In addition to Ren Hao's failure, Wen Long was facing a desperate situation of life and death.
Seeing the iron sword in the tall man's hand constantly sweeping dust on the ground, Wenlong rolled around and retreated.
If it weren't for his speed, he would have become a dead soul under the sword. However, if he wanted to counterattack and win, it seemed that hope would only be zero.
Zhou Yang sighed in his heart that the so-called Thunder King, one of the nine divine weapons, was just that his two disciples were so powerful, and I wonder what the level of that horn was.
But when I think about how powerful it is, I can be better than Ding Xiao? I feel relieved.
The giant thunder hammer suddenly changed to sweep. This kind of fighting method is the most exhausting of physical strength, but the opponent can use the sweep momentum to sweep it back. It seems that he has mastered the principle of physical inertia. In addition to his extraordinary arm strength, the giant hammer is so agile.
Zhou Yang knew that as long as he was touched by this hammer, he would immediately vomit blood and die.
He didn't dare to block easily, so he could only feel the strong wind whistling in front of him while dodging. He could no longer care about the outcome of his companions. He could only temporarily put aside everything and concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of him.
"Come on your life!"
When Zhou Yang was looking for the enemy's flaws wholeheartedly, he was shocked by the sudden loud roar of Thunder God.
Before he could even decide the shock, the giant hammer took the opportunity to attack again.
From this we can see that Thunder God is indeed the veritable Thunder God.
In addition to loud voices, he also used the same weapons as the mythical Thunder God, and used them to be freely restrained and released.
At this point, the three of them fought on their own and they could only rely on themselves.
