Volume 2 The Dance of the Demons in the Imperial Capital Chapter 107 Preparing for War (5)
A man in a hurry rushed in from the door, walking in a panic, turning back from time to time as he walked, as if he was worried about someone chasing after him.
Yingcang felt a little strange, but he didn't care much, this is Yuqing Palace, although the old Taoist is not there, but his three disciples are also quite Taoist, and they are not afraid that someone will be bold enough to enter the palace to make trouble.
The orange cat was originally squinting, lazily lying in Yingcang's arms, ready to go back to eat meat to treat himself, but he inadvertently glanced at the person who looked panicked, and his eyes widened instantly, and he was completely lazy.
This man looks so familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere!
"Stop!" the orange cat screamed. The person who passed by in the corridor was shocked, and shouted out as if reflexively!
This cry scared Ying Cang enough, and she jumped out of the corridor and landed in the yard with the orange cat in her arms. He had already seen this person strange, and now he stared at him even more vigilantly.
The man seemed to be a frightened bird, hiding behind him with one hand and holding the red pillar, looking at the man holding the cat with horror on his face. When he saw the cat in his arms clearly, he finally shouted softly, in an uncertain tone: "Huangliang senior?"
"Hmm. The orange cat's body was still curled up between Yingcang's arms, and he stuck his head out, looking at the frightened Wang Shixin.
That's right, it's Wang Shixin. The two black-hearted monks who dug Xu Guan out of the grave at the beginning, Li Qianshan and Wang Shixin. And the person who broke into the Yuqing Palace in a panic was none other than Wang Shixin, who was good at using spells.
"What are you doing here?" the orange cat asked him, could it be that this person really had an intersection with the old San Lin Yao who pinched the talisman?
"It's not good!" Wang Shixin's face was full of sneakiness, he glanced at the gate, as if he was very worried, and said to the orange cat: "There is no time to talk here. If you want to know, come with me. After that, he pulled out his legs and rushed to the depths of the corridor, and it seemed that he was indeed going to the inner hall to find those Taoist priests.
"Keep up with him. Orange Cat said. Ying Cang nodded, and glanced at the direction of the door with a little curiosity, but there was nothing, he jumped into the corridor and drove Wang Shixin's back in.
Everyone who was originally sitting down to eat in the dining hall also heard the voice of Wang Shixin in the courtyard just now, Senior Brother Mufeng frowned slightly, and he was extremely frightened when he heard this shout, as if he was frightened, and he didn't know who it was.
Zhang Danyun's eyelids were also lively, and when he saw that several senior brothers who were eating were inquiring, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Senior brothers, I'll take a look." So he trotted out of the dining hall and came to the courtyard, just when he saw Wang Shixin coming in a hurry.
"This layman, do you have something to do?" Zhang Danyun scolded the man from a distance.
Wang Shixin is also a Taoist, and it stands to reason that he should return the salute, but at this time, the situation is really urgent, and he can't take care of it too much, and shouts to Zhang Danyun: "Little Daoist, are Lin Yao Zhenren and the other Daoists in the palace?" Lin Yao was the third senior brother who had pinched the talisman in his hand before.
"Yes. What do you ......" Before Zhang Danyun's words were finished, Wang Shixin passed him and walked into the hall, and when he saw Lin Yao and the other Taoist priests there, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his face was greatly softened.
"Wang Shixin?" Lin Yao looked at him with some surprise.
"Master!" Wang Shixin leaned next to Lin Yao and knelt down with a thud.
"I'm not your master. At that time, I just randomly pointed you out two tricks, and the talisman I gave you in the end was also because it was for the sake of your fate. It is never enough to be commensurate with a master and an apprentice. Lin Yao said very seriously.
At this moment, Yingcang, who was holding the orange cat, also walked in, and as soon as the orange cat heard Lin Yao's words behind him, he understood in his heart, it turned out that the talisman that suppressed the unconscious Xu Guan at that time was painted by Lin Yao, no wonder it had such power, at that time Wang Shixin also said that he couldn't tell who the person who drew the talisman was, now that he thinks about it, the reason should be that Lin Yao didn't look down on him as an apprentice at all, so he told him not to talk nonsense everywhere. As for that talisman, hehe, eighty percent was also given to him by Wang Shixin cheekily begging Lin Yao to give him alms with a handful of snot and tears.
Thinking of this, the orange cat couldn't help but laugh secretly. But after laughing, he quickly looked at Wang Shixin again and listened to what was going on with him.
Wang Shixin was helped up by Lin Yao, and he didn't care about whether the two of them had a master-apprentice relationship, looked around the room, and said with a solemn face: "The Lich Clan is here!"
"Where are you here?" Lin Yao raised the corners of his eyebrows, the other ordinary Daoists had never heard of the name of the lich, only the three disciples who sealed the dust had a tense face. The eldest Mu Feng waved his hand and asked the other ordinary Taoists to take the food to the next room to eat, and then closed the door. Only the three of his junior brothers were left in this room, as well as the junior brother Zhang Danyun, the orange cat and Ying Cang, and Wang Shixin, who told the reason for the incident.
"In the city of Yanjing. Wang Shixin replied: "I originally lived in Yanjing City with Li Qianshan temporarily, but yesterday he suddenly found me and said that he had a good thing and wanted to cooperate with me to do a big deal." I was taken by him to the house of his master, Qiao Song, and when I got there, I saw that in addition to his master, there were two other monks, one with a string of rosaries in his hand, and the other with a wooden sword covered with runes, all sitting in the living room, as if waiting for someone.
Li Qianshan asked me to sit down and wait, and about an hour later, there was a knock at the door, and two young men came in. ”
"These two young men are lichs?" Zhang Danyun said curiously.
"Yes. Wang Shixin nodded: "I only knew at this time that these two lichs were looking for monks who were willing to cooperate with them, and were ready to join forces to build an inn. Although I don't know much about it, I've heard of the name of the Lich Clan, and I know that they do a lot of evil, but how can I compete with them if I am a mere cultivator? ”
"What do they want you to do?" said Yingcang this time.
"I don't know, the lich wants us monks to agree to cooperate with them, and are willing to listen to them. Then he controlled us and put us under house arrest, and he usually guarded us both, and when it was time to eat, one of them went out to buy food. I climbed out of the toilet window under the pretext of going to the toilet while one of them was buying food. Wang Shixin still has palpitations in retrospect, Qiao Song's house is on the fifth floor, he still escaped at the risk of falling to his death, if the two lichs found out that he had escaped, they would definitely catch up, no wonder he kept looking behind him.
As if he suddenly remembered something, he added: "They seem to have assigned a lot of people to do this kind of thing, and I estimate that many folk cultivators have been controlled by them in this way." ”
"What are they going to do with these loose cultivators?" the orange cat was puzzled, and the four Taoist priests, old and young, couldn't figure it out for a while, these people had low strength and shallow cultivation, in addition to being able to brush the two-handed style, they were not much stronger than ordinary people, how could they be hit by the lich?
Ying Cang pondered for a moment and asked, "Did those two lichs say anything else to you?"
"Nope. They only told us that when we needed us, they would naturally let us help, and they would not treat us badly when it was done. But during this period of their control, it is better not to act rashly, otherwise they will be unkind to us. Wang Shixin had long read Li Qianshan's genealogy over and over again. "But I heard something in the middle of their conversation, which should be useful. ”
"What?"
"One of the lichs said what was the use of looking for this garbage, I was afraid that it would end up in vain. Another said that after all, there are a lot of people, try your luck, maybe you can bump into one and it will break. Wang Shixin recalled.
"Maybe you can hit one that can be broken?" Ying Cang found the point: "What do you want to break? Who can break it?"
"Maybe they can meet one? This shows that they know that there is little hope, but they still make great efforts to do it, just for a person who can find someone who can break it?" Zhang Danyun was young, but his mind turned extremely fast: "What can be worthy of them to mobilize the people like this, and even be willing to do something that has a 9 in 10,000 chance of losing money." ”
"What the hell is the Lich trying to do?" the orange cat wondered, using her brain was never what she was good at.
"Imperial Capital Enchantment!" Mu Feng, the eldest senior brother, suddenly spoke: "The people they are recruiting are all human cultivators, and there are no martial artists, right?"
"It seems that this is indeed the case. Wang Shixin replied.
"That's right. Mu Feng's brows furrowed, and his eyes were deep in thought: "The Imperial Capital Enchantment was built from the previous dozen or so Taoist masters joining forces to gather the culmination of Taoist secret techniques. The Lich Clan is not familiar with the Taoist formation, so they have a one-in-a-million hope and collect a large number of scattered cultivators, just so that the blind cat can meet the dead mouse and get a way to break the enchantment. ”
"Then do you think it's possible for them to succeed?" Ying Cang hurriedly asked, the imperial capital can't be lost, and the old dragon in the locked dragon well must not be released.
"Impossible!" Mu Feng was categorical. "That barrier is invulnerable, and it will never be broken!"
"No weaknesses at all?"
"Yes. Mu Feng admitted, but then shook his head: "Even if there are them, they can't be broken." ”
His second and third junior brothers also seemed to know, so they didn't react in particular, but everyone else was a little uneasy.
"Anyway, now that I know the news, I still go to the imperial capital and tell the master about his old man. Mu Feng said that he was about to get up and go out.
"No, I don't. Don't worry, you don't have to go yourself. Just make a phone call and make things clear. Ying Cang reminded.
Who knew that the four Taoist priests shook their heads at the same time: "Our master never uses mobile phones, and we are not allowed to use them." ”
Ying Cang was stunned, but he didn't expect them to be really traditional. Then he said: "It's okay, I'll go back now and ask the people in the branch to contact the iron guards of the imperial capital and ask them to tell Mr. Feng Chen." ”
"That's fine. Mu Feng sat down and looked at the rice in the bowl, feeling a little tasteless.
......
The matter temporarily deduced a rough idea, Wang Shixin stayed and hid in the Yuqing Palace, Yingcang and the orange cat hurriedly returned to the inn branch, and discussed what had just happened in the Yuqing Palace with Wu Chen and other guards.
The three high-ranking disciples of the Yuqing Palace agreed to unite with the inn, and they immediately began to make some arrangements that were convenient for the two sides to cooperate, and also sent a message to the iron guard on the imperial capital that the Lich Clan was looking for someone who could break the imperial capital's enchantment, so that he could inform the old man who sealed the dust, and at the same time sent the news back to the inn headquarters so that he could deal with it.
