Chapter Seventy-Four: Practice
readx;
The wind was strong, the lanterns fell to the ground, the lamp oil burned spontaneously on the stone ground, and the smoke and fog made the nearest soldier close his eyes for a moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Plop!"
The opening and closing of his eyes was no longer for him, but he saw that the soldier fell to the ground like a pot of noodles, and did not move again.
"This way!"
The new emperor turned the tip of his sword and pointed at it, and under the rising flames, a distorted shadow appeared out of thin air, and it slid into the soldier's shadow like a snake, and the soldier's limbs began to twitch and writhe in various postures that violated the restrictions of the human joints.
"Spread out! Don't come near him!"
A sergeant shouted, in fact, no one would be stupidly leaning on it at this time without his reminder.
But, if you don't lean in, will you be fine?
But can retreating really keep you safe?
"Boom. ”
The sinister laughter may be old-fashioned, but in the current scene, it can still send chills down the spine.
Under the gaze of everyone, a black shadow rose from the soldier who fell to the ground, like a human and not a human, like a snake but not a snake, it touched the ground, and jumped out quickly, but when it heard a 'poof', the black shadow wrapped around the body of the second soldier, and the latter fell in response.
"Vertical Mirror!' Golden Light Array!"
Under the throne, a Taoist priest stood up in a position that had been ignored by everyone before, and he swept the dust and drank it.
The landfill is not ignorant of the 'guests' who will visit tonight, and the corresponding countermeasures have already been laid out.
"Bang dang! bang dang!"
The sound of a heavy object falling on the ground is not born inside the main hall, but originates from outside the main hall.
Forty-nine huge bronze mirrors fell like shutter doors, facing inward, enclosing the main hall.
The light and fire were reflected and refracted by the bronze mirror, and the hall was as if it were placed under a shadowless lamp.
The light, the light so strong that you can barely open your eyes.
"Boom!
In the midst of the light, a figure twisted and struggled, and it was the possessed soldier. He had fallen to the ground and stood up in the strong light, his teeth and claws, like a mad beast.
Screams kept coming out of his mouth, but they didn't sound like human organs.
After about half a pillar of incense, the soldier fell to the ground again, motionless as if he had lost all his momentum.
"Heaven and earth are infinite!
A yellow talisman floated in time and landed on the soldier's body, and the yellow talisman reacted violently as soon as it came into contact with the human body.
The soldier twitched again, and fire rose from his body, and the unspeakable scorching smell of everyone in the room covered their mouths and noses.
As the flames rose, an imperceptible black smoke rose at the same time, but it barely looked up in the strong light before it vanished.
"Withdraw from the formation!
The Taoist shouted.
The bronze mirror was removed, the light in the hall returned to normal, and many armored soldiers saw the miserable situation of their former comrades clearly, and they only silently tightened their blades in their hands while breathing in the smell of burning.
Tonight's events are just the beginning.
"The flag is here!"
A strong man was shirtless, and the cold wind of the autumn night did not affect him in the slightest, and many sergeants recognized him as the famous executioner in Kyoto.
He was holding a black-bottomed cloud flag in his hand, the corners of the flag were slightly wrinkled, it should be an old thing.
It was probably older than the Taoist priest standing under the throne.
The Taoist priest didn't even grow a beard.
"Heaven and earth are infinite!
Yes, this Taoist priest is indeed still young, and he can only say one sentence of the mantra of the imperial envoy, but this does not prevent the people standing on the side from casting respectful glances at him.
It was precisely because of his arrangement and unchaotic command that the black shadow was eliminated, otherwise there would have been more than one or two people dead.
No matter how old or young, or the depth of Taoism, if you can stand up to it, you are a good Taoist.
The new emperor is a pragmatist.
The Taoist priest held the flag and waved it for a while, and the more he recited the incantation, the lower and faster he recited it, and in the end, it was actually muffled: "E!"
As soon as this sound came out, the flag waving in the Taoist priest's hand also stopped at the same time, as if to make a summary, and he pointed the flag to the front that he had been facing.
"Edict!"
A white light shot straight out from the flag, piercing all the way out of the main hall and into the depths of darkness. And after doing this, the Daoist's face was as pale as this white light.
"Sword!"
His pale face did not seem to affect the Taoist at all, and he handed the flag to the executioner on the side, who had been standing beside him since the flag was delivered, like a scholar, like an entourage, and after taking the flag at this moment, the man was still standing in place, not moving.
"Huh!"
Unlike the previous flags, this time no swords were delivered to the Daoists, only all the sword-wielding sergeants in the main hall drew their swords.
Each sword pointed to the position pointed out by the previous Daoist with a flag.
"Kill!"
The shouts seemed to turn the hall into a battlefield.
Murderous.
"Blood!"
The Taoist shouted again.
"Huh!"
The unsheathed swords slashed across their masters' wrists, and the blades were stained with blood, and blood flowed all over the hall.
The Taoist also did his part, but he didn't borrow the blade, and a mouthful of blood spurted directly from his mouth.
His figure began to shake, and the nearest soldier tried to help him, but he waved his hand and refused.
"Guns!"
The Daoist's voice suddenly became hoarse, as if he had aged for decades in one breath.
In the main hall, the sword-bearers and gun-wielding people accounted for half of them, and at this moment, the Taoist gave an order, and one hundred and ten spears pointed directly at the sky.
"Fill in!
There is no need for the Taoist to say more, two soldiers had died in the main hall before, and at this moment, two people immediately made up for it from the outside.
One hundred and eight swords, one hundred and eight guns, blood dripping to the ground, lamps burning in every corner.
This hall seems to have become a formation, a formation that cannot be invaded by a hundred evils.
"Done!"
So the Taoist said.
His posture was already trembling, I don't know if the night wind was too cold or too bad, behind him, the emperor on the throne looked at the situation in the main hall, and exhaled slightly.
"Now it's just a matter of keeping it that way until dawn. ”
He said.
"Tick-tock. ”
The wrists that had been slashed by the blade were still bleeding, like the oldest hourglasses.
The weapons held high were also trembling, not knowing whether it was because of the lack of arm strength of the bearers or the cold of the night.
"Ahem......"
The Taoist suddenly began to cough, and his breathing was so thick that he seemed to be pulling the bellows.
Will they really be able to hold out until dawn?
The Taoist people didn't know, and the many soldiers didn't know either, but the emperor on the throne had already picked up the tea and drank it leisurely.
He's probably the most confident guy in the room.
