Chapter 705 Lunar Eclipse Night Crisis (2)

Chapter 705

"Buzz!"

As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, everyone was shocked. Everyone suddenly raised their heads and looked at Wang Chong. Even Li Siye opened his eyes abruptly and looked at Wang Chong with an incredulous expression on his face.

The "Master Zhangchou" that Wang Chong said, as long as anyone from the capital knows, it refers to the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of War, Zhangchou Jianqiong. He also has another title, the Chief Protector of the Annan Protectorate, or another more well-known name, "Tiger of the Empire".

This name not only represented Zhangchou Jianqiong's great fame and prestige, but also represented Zhangchou Jianqiong's strength as the top general of the empire that countless people in the world looked up to.

All the generals of the empire are superpowers at the peak of holy martial arts!

Although Li Siye was confident, he also knew that there was still a big gap between himself and that "Tiger of the Empire", Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War. But Wang Chong actually said that even if Zhangchou Jianqiong, Minister of the Ministry of War, came here in person, he would still be crushed...

"Hehe, I should feel a little bit about it. That's right! The village head of Wushang Village is a Saint Martial Realm powerhouse at the same level as Zhangchou Jianqiong! With his strength, plus so many elders and villagers of Wushang Village, If Zhangchou and Qiong come in person, they will all be smashed into the sand, let alone us!"

Wang Chong sat on the ground, feeling the icy cold coming from the stone house under his buttocks, and said lightly.

"boom!"

One stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, Wang Chong said lightly, and the calm and breezy words immediately filled everyone's ears with turbulent waves. Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and all the guards opened their eyes wide with shock.

Although Li Siye was not as obvious as a few others, he felt the shock in his heart at all.

"A strong man in the Holy Martial Realm!"

"How can this be?"

"The old man with the white beard? He can't even walk!"

...

Everyone's heart was in chaos, but no one doubted Wang Chong's statement. In this kind of matter, Wang Chong's judgment is absolutely infallible.

Frankly speaking, Wushang people are not allowed to enter, not only did not respond to the call of the court, but even took the initiative to attack the officers and soldiers of the court. At the beginning, everyone was really very angry.

He even had the idea of ​​leading an army into Wushang Village.

But at this moment, when they heard that Wushang Village still had a strong man of the Holy Martial Realm sitting in the village, how dare everyone have such an idea!

"Master Hou, what is the origin of these Wushang people? How can an ordinary village be so powerful?"

Gao Feng's eyelids twitched, and he finally couldn't help asking.

"This question... I also want to know."

Wang Chong looked at the starry sky outside the window, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

There are many secrets about Wushang Village. All the people in Wushang Village can walk like flying among the high mountains. After all, there are indeed cliffs around here. It is not surprising that they have lived here for a long time and have developed their own skills.

But outside the village, the formations and spiritual attacks performed by the elders of Wushang village called Mr. Du and Mr. Fang cannot be explained by the lofty mountains.

Moreover, before Wang Chong stepped into Wushang Village, he did not expect that the patriarch of Wushang Village was actually a strong man in the Saint Martial Realm.

There are many secrets that Wang Chong did not know in his previous life.

Undoubtedly, I never had the opportunity to explore these secrets in my previous life, but now that I am doing it all over again, all the elders and core members of Wushang Village are still alive, and even Fang Xiaoyan has not yet grown into the mischievous and savage girl of later generations. .

I can finally find out the truth about Wushang Village!

But before that, the most important thing is to change the opinion of Wushang village chief and recruit the first batch of soldiers from Wushang village.

"Leave this matter to me, and you should rest first."

As Wang Chong said, he quickly turned around and fell into deep thought.

Freezing three feet does not happen overnight, and the traditions of Wushang Village cannot be changed overnight, especially when the catastrophe has not yet occurred.

But no matter how difficult it is, Wang Chong will find a way to change it.

As the former commander of the Wushang people, at this time, he needed the help of the world-famous "Wushang Iron Cavalry".

"No accident, that thing should happen soon!"

A thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind, and he slowly raised his head to look at the sky. High in the sky, a crescent moon hangs alone, such a night is too common in Wushang Village.

But if you look closely, you will find that the meniscus in the sky is changing little by little. The crescent moon is becoming thinner and lighter at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And as the crescent moon changed, the stars all over the sky and the entire Wushang Village also quickly became dim. Everything seems to be covered with layers of black veil.

It's a lunar eclipse!

Wang Chong remembered clearly that there was an incident in Wushang Village before the catastrophe. Many elders and villagers in Wushang Village died suddenly one night.

That night, at least two or three thousand people were killed or injured, and even Fang Xiaoyan's grandfather, the white-haired old man Wang Chong saw during the day, was seriously injured in that incident, and he was half paralyzed and his strength dropped greatly. .

And the ninth uncle "Wu Jiumei" that the little girl Fang Xiaoyan spoke of died in this incident.

If not, Wushang Village would not have been so traumatized, with so many casualties.

It's fine if Wang Chong hasn't met him during the day, but knowing that the white-haired old man is a peak Saint Martial Realm powerhouse at the same level as Zhangchou Jianqiong, Ge Shuhan, Fumeng Lingcha and other imperial generals, Wang Chong will do it anyway. We cannot sit back and watch this happen.

For the current Great Tang, every peak powerhouse in the Saint Martial Realm is a precious treasure, and any mistakes must not be easily made.

It would definitely be a deep regret for Wang Chong if a village head of Wushang Village who was at the peak of the Saint Martial Realm was allowed to fall under his nose.

Regarding that accident, there is not much information left. Wang Chong only knows that when the incident happened, it happened to be a lunar eclipse, when the cloudy atmosphere between heaven and earth was at its peak.

This is also the reason why Wang Chong asked officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Agriculture to make calculations before leaving the capital.

"Before and after the catastrophe, in the ten years, there were three lunar eclipses in Datang, one was five years ago, the other was three months after the catastrophe, and the remaining one is now. If there is no accident, that event is the most likely The time for it to happen is now."

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.

"ah!"

It was too late to say it, but when Wang Chong was thinking secretly, suddenly, a shrill scream came from outside the house, completely breaking the peace of Wushang Village.

"Mr. Du! Come here!"

Wushang Village, which was originally quiet, suddenly became chaotic. Before the sound fell, another shrill scream came from another direction in Wushang Village.

Wang Chong's complexion changed, like an arrow flying from the string, he rushed out of the room without even thinking about it.

"Li Siye, Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and others all come with me and bring the things I asked you to prepare!"

Wang Chong's voice still echoed throughout the room, but he had disappeared outside.

...

The night in Wushang Village is very quiet. This kind of place is isolated from the world and surrounded by mountains. Everyone maintains the habit of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

So when Wang Chong and the others entered the stone house to rest, they couldn't hear a single sound from outside.

But the current Wushang Village has completely exploded. Wang Chong stood on the square of Wushang Village, and the originally dark Wushang Village was lit up with a little bit of light. In the beginning, Wang Chong only heard one or two screams, but now they can be heard everywhere.

The cries of women, the cries of children, and the voices of those who were awakened by the screams and rushed out of the house to check and help, sounded into my ears, and came from all directions.

"It really happened!"

The wind howled, Wang Chong looked up at the sky, the moon in the sky had completely disappeared, and the earth was dark. At this moment, Wang Chong's long hair fluttered around his ears and temples, and his heart was in a mess.

Even though he had already heard about the major event that happened in Wushang Village, he only knew how serious it was after experiencing it. It is no longer a matter of one or two people, nor is it a problem of a hundred or two hundred people, but a matter of two or three thousand people dying at the same time.

As the former head coach of the Wushang people, it would be fine if he didn't experience it personally, but now that he is in Wushang Village, he absolutely cannot sit back and watch this happen no matter what. After all, although the Wushang people are somewhat arrogant, they are the most bloody, loyal and respectable troops on the entire land amidst the catastrophe.

The 5,000 black-scarred iron cavalry fought until the last person, and no one flinched. They were fighting to the death against foreign invaders until the last moment, defending this land, this divine continent.

They are the best fighters and the most loyal troops, which is why Wang Chong wants to subdue them no matter what.

Although Wushang people are rebellious, xenophobic, difficult to tame, and have deep-rooted traditions, once subdued, they are the most reliable fighters.

A fierce horse is hard to tame! This is the truth that every cavalry understands!

"Uncle Nine!"

Suddenly, a heart-piercing shout came to his ears, Wang Chong's face changed, and he flew out without thinking, flying towards the direction of the sound. The wind howled on both sides, and countless stone houses flew towards the sides in the dark night.

At this moment, Wang Chong also thought of many, many...

In the entire Wushang Village, there is only one person who is called "Nine Uncles", that is, the "Wu Jiumei" I saw during the day. In Wushang Village, Wu Jiumei is the elder with the highest seniority other than the patriarch. Although she has a staid personality, this "Nine Uncles" Fang Xiaoyan is extremely doting on her.

So back then, besides his grandfather, Fang Xiaoyan was most saddened and most regretful about the death of the ninth uncle. And for a long time afterwards, it was hard to let go. On Ninth Uncle's memorial day, Fang Xiaoyan would be particularly depressed and sad, and his mood would be low all day long.

All over again, even if he was able to step into Wushang Village ahead of schedule, no matter what, Wang Chong couldn't let this happen.
