Chapter 398 Guarding the Four Generals
Zhou Wen and Wang Lu came to the City God Temple. It was obviously much more magnificent and larger than the one Zhou Wen and his friends had visited before. There were three gatehouses, three mountain gates, three theaters, a hexagonal stone pillar pavilion, three curved roofs, five Weiling Halls, and five rear halls. There were twelve east and west wing rooms on both sides of the stone pillar pavilion.
The Weiling Hall is the main hall, where the City God Weiling Gong and two judges are enshrined. There are relief stone carvings on the ridge at the top of the hall, and "Runaways" are sculpted on the four corner ridges. Legend has it that they are the four generals Han Xin, Zhou Yu, Pang Juan and Luo Cheng, who were punished here to guard the city because of their narrow-mindedness.
But this is just a legend. The four guardian generals of the City God Temple are named the Four Generals of Wei Ling in the dimensional realm. As long as you challenge any one of the Four Generals of Wei Ling and can persist for three minutes without being defeated, you can get the reward given by Duke Wei Ling.
However, to remain undefeated for three minutes against the Four Generals of Wei Ling, one must be at least at the legendary level. Most of the students at Sunset Academy cannot do it. No wonder this academic task is only issued to special admissions students. Even if ordinary students come, they will not only get no benefits, but may even be in danger of their lives.
The four city-guarding generals wield four kinds of weapons respectively: sword, knife, spear and mace, so they are also called sword general, knife general, spear general and mace general.
"Which city defender do you want to choose?" Zhou Wen asked Wang Lu.
"Legend has it that Pang Juan is the corresponding mace general, so I will choose him." Wang Lu thought for a while and said.
"Why him first?" Zhou Wen was a little surprised, because Pang Juan's reputation should be the worst among the four city defenders, and few people would choose him.
Most people would choose the legendary sword general who may represent Han Xin, or the spear general who represents Luo Cheng. Relatively speaking, fewer people would choose the knife general who represents Zhou Yu and the mace general who represents Pang Juan.
"I have read some stories about Pang Juan, and I always feel that the so-called crime of killing his fellow disciples is groundless. At that time, Pang Juan was recognized as the best general, invincible in every battle. He and Sun Bin belonged to two different countries and were quite different in age. No matter how I think about it, I feel that the story is a bit too bizarre. Just like Zhou Yu's reputation of being jealous of talented people was fabricated in novels. The Battle of Chibi was all the credit of Zhou Yu and other Wu generals. The so-called stories of borrowing the east wind and borrowing arrows from straw boats are just the beautification of Kong Ming by novelists. They never happened to Kong Ming. Liu Bei's subordinates did not have any military merit in that battle. They just waited for Cao Cao to be defeated and came out to take advantage." Wang Lu said.
Zhou Wen nodded. He didn't know much about the history before the dimensional storm, but he felt that what Wang Lu said seemed to make some sense.
Zhou Wen took a photo of Wang Lu with his mobile phone. Wang Lu entered the Wei Ling Hall, bowed towards the Hall, and then pulled out a talisman engraved with the word "jian" from the shelf on the altar.
After the talisman was pulled out, a sound like a meteorite hitting the ground was heard in the yard, and a general in armor appeared in the yard, holding two maces.
The general was of strong build, holding two heavy maces in his hands like a giant spirit, staring at Wang Lu with eyes like lightning.
After Wang Lu walked out of the gate of Weiling Palace, the general smashed down with his mace. Although the mace did not shine brightly, it was powerful and heavy, like a mountain pressing down on one's head.
Wang Lu did not engage the mace general head-on, but used her skills to deal with him. Her skills were agile and graceful, and she seemed to be at ease under the violent attack of the two maces, which surprised Zhou Wen a little.
Zhou Wen always thought that Wang Lu was just lucky, but he didn't expect that his body movements were so exquisite. Apart from the difference in level and speed, his body movements were no worse than Zhou Wen's.
In three minutes, the maces were completely unable to hurt Wang Lu, and the double maces didn't even touch her clothes.
When the time came, the mace general turned into white mist with a bang and disappeared, but the talisman that Wang Lu had previously pulled out from the altar underwent a strange change and turned into a dimensional crystal. The light and shadow of the mace general were inside the crystal, and it was actually a crystal of Yuan Qi skill.
"Do you want to try it too?" Wang Lu put away the vitality skill crystal and asked with blinking eyes.
"Is it okay? I don't have any homework." Zhou Wen asked.
"Since the pass can bring you in, of course it's fine." Wang Lu said.
Zhou Wen nodded. Since he was already here, he might as well take advantage of it.
Zhou Wen came to the Wei Ling Temple. This time he did not dare to bow. If he bowed to Wei Ling Gong and got him angry, where would he get the benefits?
He glanced at the talismans on the shelf representing the four generals: sword, spear, and mace. Originally, one was taken away by Wang Lu, but now there were four more.
Zhou Wen had limited knowledge of historical figures and had only heard of their names. It was also difficult to say whether these four generals really represented those four generals, so after thinking about it, he chose the sword general.
He has the Overlord Sword in his hand, which can be used if he wants to use sword-type energy skills.
There was a bang sound from the yard, and a general with an ancient sword on his belt appeared in the yard.
As soon as Zhou Wen left the yard, the general swung his sword at him, but the speed of the sword was not fast, nor did it have the overwhelming power of a mace general.
Zhou Wen had no intention of dodging. He directly summoned the Overlord Sword and slashed at the Sword General's ancient sword. He wanted to test how strong the city defender here was.
But when he swung his sword, he saw the sword general retract his sword and retreat, leaving Zhou Wen's sword missing.
"What's going on? Will the general defending the city be afraid too?" Zhou Wen was wondering, but suddenly he saw the general waving the long sword in his hand. Light and shadow flickered in the yard, and ten beauties holding ancient swords appeared out of thin air. Each of them had a murderous look on their face, and they rushed towards Zhou Wen with swords in their hands.
For a moment, sword lights were everywhere and turned into a sword formation, trapping Zhou Wen inside.
Zhou Wen was a little surprised. This sword was quite interesting. It could even summon a sword formation. Seeing the layers of sword light approaching, Zhou Wen did not avoid it. The Overlord Sword burst out with a terrifying sword light, and he swung out a move of Flying Fairy from the Sky in an instant.
The sword lights crossed each other, and in just a moment, the ten beauties holding ancient swords were cut into pieces by the sword tyrant, and turned into white mist and dissipated.
When Zhou Wen looked at the sword general, he saw him wave the ancient sword in his hand again, and ten ancient sword beauties appeared and formed a sword formation again.
Zhou Wen killed seven waves of beautiful women's sword formations in a row, but the sword general just moved around and did not fight with him. Zhou Wen used ghost steps to approach the sword general, trying to force him to fight, but the sword general's body movements were weird and inexplicable. He actually avoided Zhou Wen's attack and summoned the beautiful women's sword formation again.
Three minutes passed quickly, and the sword general turned into white mist and dissipated with a bang. Zhou Wen was a little depressed because he was unable to force the sword general to fight him with his sword.
His eyes fell on the talisman, and he saw that it had indeed turned into a crystal. There was the light and shadow of the sword general inside, and it was also a crystal of vitality.
