In the winter of the eleventh year of Jingyao, the southwest was cold and humid, and Lu Luo and Shui Changning finally arrived in the territory of Suyuanpo after a three-month journey.

They settled in the nearest town.

There were no checkpoints along the way, and he successfully entered Suyuanpo, which surprised Lu Luo a little.

Didn't you say there was a war?

"I caught the black python half a month ago!"

Lu fell to Suyuanpo and found that the streets were full of wolf smoke, but the faces of the people were happy.

Upon inquiry, I learned that the rebellion had been subdued.

The leader of the rebellion called himself "Black Python", which means a huge python that is good at drilling through mountains and forests and has bad poison, and no one can help him.

The black python is a well-known local bandit, entrenched for decades, for the disaster in the township, the locals hate him, he is unpopular with the people, the people are afraid that he really succeeds, hoping that the court can exterminate him.

The black python started in May of the tenth year of Jing Yao, and he also said that he would kill King Cheng.

"If King Cheng dares to come, he will be beheaded under the horse!" So said the black python.

Before, King Cheng guarded the southwest, and fought wits and courage with the black python for more than ten years, and they didn't take advantage of each other.

But King Cheng went to the northeast to suppress before the black python was revealed, and the northeast also rebelled, and he couldn't come to the southwest.

The imperial court sent the Zhongwu Marquis, who had more outstanding military achievements, to replace King Cheng's southern expedition to the black python.

The war in the southwest was very difficult, because there were few people in the mountains, and the bandits mainly attacked and harassed, and after the battle, they hid in the mountains, which made the imperial army a headache.

The bandits were familiar with the mountains, but the soldiers of the imperial court were prone to get lost in the mountains.

King Cheng had a good plan to deal with them.

It's a pity that it wasn't King Cheng who came this time.

The local people are afraid of the black python, and they are all scared. I am afraid that the Marquis of Zhongwu will be killed by the black python, and they will all be under the rule of the black python in the future.

The black python also has a skill that makes people frightened: he can play witch tricks.

"The black python is a wizard!"

The black python is not a native wizard, he is just befriending a wizard, and the other party teaches him how to play Gu and how to raise Gu.

The people are sweating for the Marquis of Zhongwu.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Zhongwu was also extremely fierce, and in just over a year, he beat the powerful black python back to the old forest.

The black python was like a lost dog, fleeing everywhere, and the Marquis of Zhongwu personally entered the old forest. Black pythons can be found almost every time. Very brave.

It's a pity that the black python is more familiar with the terrain, and every time he can get out of the way, his subordinates are almost dead and become the commander of the light pole.

Black Python's Gu Technique. It seems to be of little use to the soldiers of the Marquis of Zhongwu.

in a year. The Marquis of Zhongwu is in the hearts of the people of the southwest. It's even more powerful than becoming a king.

Not long ago, the Marquis of Zhongwu finally caught the black python, which removed great harm to the people of the southwest. The people revered him as the "God of War".

The streets celebrate together, and it is more lively than the New Year.

The fighting in the southwest has almost subsided, but the Marquis of Zhongwu still has to be stationed for half a year to maintain the situation.

"He's not afraid of the woods at last." Lu Luo thought to himself, "Even the witch Gu can deal with it, it seems that he really remembered his previous life completely." ”

The black python is a wizard, and Yan Xun is a warlock.

Judging from the ending, Yan Xun, a warlock, is more powerful than a wizard.

The ancestor has lived for nearly a thousand years, and he has many friends, and he also has witchcraft, and he has learned some by himself, and he has also recorded it and taught it to his disciples.

When encountering a witch Gu with a medium-to-low spell, Lu Luo can also deal with it.

The end of the war is also a good thing for Lu Luo, she can move around without restrictions.

She lived in the store with Shui Changning, gave a few rewards, chatted with the shopkeeper, and asked the shopkeeper: "From here to the southwest, about a hundred miles, what is the place?" ”

The shopkeeper is a lean man in his fifties, and his official speech is not neat enough, but he can understand it.

He told Lu Luo and Shui Changning in vague official words: "Further southwest, there is Miao Village, countless Miao Village." Don't go, many goddesses, and if you go, you will suffer. ”

There are witch Gu factions, descending factions, etc. in Miao Jiang, some of which are fused into one, and some of which are fragmented.

Previously, many schools of occultism in Miao Jiang were divided, especially the witch Gu sect, which mainly raised Gu worms, and the descending faction, which mainly descended heads, and the struggle was fierce.

The "goddess" in the shopkeeper's mouth does not always refer to women, which is a general term for the occult school.

In the past, Miaojiang's witchcraft was passed on to women but not to men, and the heirs had to be women, and they gradually gained prestige and were called "goddesses".

Later, the faction was separated and developed, and most of them were men, but the local people also called them "goddesses", and some called them shamans.

"If we want to ask the priests, how should we go to them so that we don't break the taboo?" Lu Luo asked again.

"I want to buy tribute." The shopkeeper said.

But the shopkeeper was far away from Miao Village, he didn't go to ask the goddess, and he didn't know what to prepare for going to Miao Village, only that he couldn't go.

He told Lu Luo that there was a paper horse shop at the end of this street, which was now closed, and the signboard was still there, and their family had invited the goddess.

"A few years ago, his grandson was entangled in a nightmare, which was terrible, and the doctors asked him to invite a goddess, and now it's all right." The shopkeeper said, "His family name is Ge, the shopkeeper died the year before last, leaving only orphans and widows, and there are bandits, and the business is not done, but he still lives in the yard behind the store." ”

Lu Luo and Shui Changning went to Ge's house, and it was a middle-aged woman who opened the door.

It's Mrs. Ge.

Mrs. Ge was also very hospitable, and when she heard that they were going to Miao Village, she told them what tributes to prepare: "Two live roosters, and the ones that are alive and kicking around cannot be half-dead;

One pound of brown sugar, one pound of glutinous rice, one pound of cinnabar, one pound of red nitrate, and two whole scorpions that have been concocted in the medicinal herb shop.

When you carry these things, and when you see the boundary marker, let the live rooster go, and wait half an hour, and then go in if the live rooster runs away or is still alive in the same place.

After you go in, you offer sacrifices and ask for something, and someone will lead you. ”

The things you want are not expensive, but they are very practical, and they are commonly used in formations.

Lu Luo nodded and thanked Mrs. Ge.

They rested for the night and got up the next day to prepare their things.

In the streets just after the war, it was quite difficult to get these things together.

"I'll buy it." Shui Changning cherishes words like gold.

Lu Luo nodded, and she stayed in the inn.

With nothing to do, Lu Luo calculated a hexagram, she wanted to know where Yan Xun was now.

She didn't want to meet Yan Xun, and if she knew his whereabouts, she could avoid him.

Lu Luo still remembers Yan Xun's birthday.

After some deduction, nothing was deduced.

"Yan Xun recovered his spell and obscured his birthday." Lu Luo thought to himself.

This is the most common of the Old Ancestor techniques.

Covering the eight characters of the birth date can blind the heavens, and it can also prevent the enemy from finding it.

She couldn't find Yan Xun's whereabouts.

Afraid of something, this is not false at all. Lu Luo was worried about meeting Yan Xun, but when she set off at noon, she suddenly found that someone was watching her on the opposite street.

She raised her eyes suddenly, and saw a tall man standing on the opposite eaves, wearing a dark robe and a straw hat, and the eyes under the brim fell on Lu Luo.

His exposed jaw has green stubble.

Lu Luo knew that it was Yan Xun.

Her figure froze—
