Chapter 524: Immortals show the way

"It seems that the future is uncertain, and it is ...... to be cautious," Zhou Dewei said to himself, but his eyes drifted away, and he felt an inexplicable deterrence surging towards him not far away. This divine will comes from a person with great inner strength, but in this wilderness, who else can there be except for the ignorant man just now?

The team was still marching silently, but unconsciously quickened its pace, as if to leave the scene far behind. As everyone knows, it has all been imprinted in everyone's heart. Zhou Dewei did not want to let the soldiers be overshadowed, but at this time, he could not boost morale, and the road ahead was slow, so he could only continue to move forward despite the wind and snow.

After walking for more than an hour, he was already sleepy. They did not travel lightly, but carried grain and grass together, wanting to gamble, or wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to re-"whitewash" Longshou County. Of course, this is just the thoughts of most of the soldiers, and the generals led by a few of them are uneasy in their hearts.

With Zhou Dewei's order, the large army stopped and came to a wide smoke lake to rest for a while. There are also dozens of dilapidated houses, but they are in disrepair and are no longer inhabited. There are still a few old trees growing next to the house, but when spring turns to winter, all the leaves on the trees have fallen, and only the roots and branches remain, stretching out indiscriminately, without fear.

In front of the house was a vast lake of smoke and waves, or because of winter, a thick layer of frost had formed on the lake. The smoke rising from the rising sun fills the entire surface of the lake, making it like a dream. I don't know if the tense nerves were relieved, or the scene just now was too weird, but among the soldiers resting in place at this time, some of them unconsciously closed their eyes.

This was undoubtedly a taboo on the march, and the people who should have been awake at all times were disturbed by the mist that drifted in, and they passed out unconsciously. By the time Chow realized that the mist was poisonous, it was already too late. But at the moment only a small half of the soldiers were disturbed by the fog, and most of them remained awake.

"All the soldiers obeyed the order, covered their mouths and noses, stood by in place, and did not panic." Zhou Dewei's voice broke the silence, and the soldiers who were about to be in chaos suddenly felt a little relieved after this sound, and they did so one after another, avoiding the continued erosion of the poisonous mist.

But what is disturbing is that the fog on the surface of the lake is getting thicker and thicker, and it begins to spread towards everyone. Just now, many people have been tricked, but now it has begun to spread, and I am afraid that it is necessary to flee quickly, so it is the best policy.

Zhou Dewei once again felt the illusion of being spied on, and he didn't think too much about it, so he made a quick decision, "Quickly reorganize the army, take the unconscious comrades with you, and march towards the windward." ”

The soldiers were like hearing the sound of heaven, they were already teary-eyed at this time, not moved by Zhou Dewei's words, but a little unable to open their eyes because of the fog. Zhou Dewei urged the soldiers to leave this place quickly, but he still stopped in place, gradually swallowed by the mist.

It wasn't until a cold wind blew and blew away the haze of the zenith, that everyone looked back and saw Zhou Dewei walking slowly from the fog, unharmed. There was no time to ask more, Zhou Dewei had already ordered all the soldiers to speed up their pace, and issued the first military order of the day, "Those who have not arrived in the military service city before the time will not be saved!" ”

This seemingly ordinary military order stimulates everyone's nerves. Everyone knew that the Military Service City was one of the three cities outside of Longshou County, and such an order was issued at this time to forcibly take this city and demonstrate to Longshou County.

It's just that there will be some kind of danger along the way, I don't know. And the word "not saved" is like an iron whip, constantly spurring everyone forward. No one knew who or what Zhou Dewei saw in that thick fog, but judging from his expression, it must not be so simple.

Zhou Dewei is no longer hiding in the army, but taking the lead in the forefront. And the three captains were placed in the pawns by him, and they have reassured the army. He didn't understand the thick fog, and could only deduce that it was the work of a master. As for who the master is, it is unknown.

But judging from all the things just now, the person who came must not have much patience, and as for why he did not make a move, it is not for him to know. What he could do was to rush to the military service city as quickly as possible and reverse the current situation. But he knew that this was not the handiwork of the people of Longshou County, and they were in a state of panic at this time, not knowing when the army would arrive.

But this seemingly treacherous, but traceless "witchcraft" continues to erode the hearts of a group of soldiers. And these "demons" who hide in the shadows and shoot don't know where they will appear and what actions they will take. Zhou Dewei had a thought in his mind at this time, that is, he wanted to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

But he didn't find any clues in the thick fog, which puzzled him a little. At this time, one of the three lieutenants rode a horse, slowed down when he was half a zhang behind him, and said as he walked close to Zhou Dewei: "General Zhou, my subordinates think that these two strange things are not accidental, I am afraid that there will be more strange things waiting for us." ”

Zhou Dewei nodded indifferently, but he was speechless in his heart. Admittedly, although he thought the same way, he felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time. The current situation is no longer under his control, and the situation out of control has aroused the long-lost heart of gain and loss in his heart.

Even if Zhou Dewei has no last resort, but at this time, he was toyed with between applause, and there is indeed an inexplicable frustration of being humiliated. Seeing that Zhou Dewei didn't answer, the captain said boldly: "My subordinates have heard that there is an immortal mountain overseas, and its name is Penglai. There are immortals in the mountains, who enter the world to preach, and ferrile all beings in the name of Penglai Immortal Mountain. The vision here may be related to it. ”

Zhou Dewei frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Penglai Immortal Mountain?" ”

"Exactly, Penglai Immortal Mountain was introduced to the Nine Abyss and Seven Kingdoms many years ago and began to grow and develop. There are believers in many countries, and they are in opposition to the Later Tang Jialan Temple. It's just that later the Jialan Temple was weak, and the Penglai Immortal Mountain gradually became larger, and this stubble had the saying that 'I only know that Penglai does not see the immortals, and the Jialan Temple has been dry for a hundred years'. ”

Zhou Dewei has been in the military all the year round and does not have much interest in rumors. What's more, one of his deceased people has mentioned Jialan Temple many times, which is now vague. I don't know anything about this "rising star".

Zhou Dewei motioned for the man to continue, and the lieutenant was ready to talk endlessly when he saw that General Zhou was interested. Unexpectedly, Zhou Dewei raised his hand to interrupt, "Long story short, so as not to delay the fighter." ”

The lieutenant was in high spirits, and was suddenly poured a basin of cold water from his head, but he could only grit his teeth and insist, "General Zhou doesn't know, this Penglai Immortal Mountain has always been mysterious, but it is rumored that the immortals in the mountains have traveled the world, and they have met people who are destined to have visions that have been circulating on the rivers and lakes for many years. ”

"Someone who is destined?" Zhou Dewei laughed at himself, and then asked rhetorically: "What is a destined person?" You? I? They? ”

The lieutenant wanted to invite credit, but he was suddenly speechless when Zhou Dewei asked, and he couldn't help blushing. Zhou Dewei no longer paid attention to this person, but walked a few steps ahead of his horse, and said loudly towards the front: "If you disturb the immortals here, I hope you will forgive me." Worldly things are not what the immortals think, and the complexity is not something we can say. This trip is on the orders of the lord of the country, and I hope to give way to a broad road, allowing us to pass quietly. ”

After Zhou Dewei finished speaking, he did not immediately turn the horse's head, but concentrated on hope. At this time, the place where he was a gentle slope, and as far as the eye could see, there was still no place of 100 meters ahead. Zhou Dewei's words from the bottom of his heart, but he just wanted to try his luck, if it was really an immortal of Penglai Immortal Mountain, he might be able to use it, but he didn't know.

But after waiting for a long time, no one appeared. Just as he was about to raise his hand and give the order to continue on his way, a voice full of wisdom and calm came out from all directions. It seemed that eight people were standing in place at the same time, and said to Zhou Dewei with the same words: "General Zhou's name, we have already heard of it. I am fortunate to see it today, and it is really fate in the dark. ”

Zhou Dewei's face was as usual, but he had already made a decision in his heart. Hearing this, he clenched his fists and said loudly: "I don't know if a few of them are the immortals of Penglai Immortal Mountain, and they want to test the maze here?" ”

At this time, the soldiers who had just inhaled the white mist had already woken up one after another, and the voice continued: "General Zhou is a genius I have seen in my life, and I am here today to help the general take Longshou County in one fell swoop. ”

Zhou Dewei was happy when he heard this, but his face was still as usual, it seemed that as he expected, these people must have a plan. But now, if we can get this help, it will be like a tiger with wings, and the previous worries will also disappear. As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Dewei continued: "I don't know what the conditions of several immortal families are? Help us break through Longshou County? ”

Zhou Dewei had no intention of continuing to detour around the bend, so he directly made his words clear. The voice laughed loudly when he heard this, but he did not shy away from it, "I have been walking in the Later Tang Dynasty for many years, but I have never been able to go deeper. Seeing this, Tang Bing was in all directions, and he was heartbroken. He begged the general to introduce the lord of the country, and asked for something. ”

Zhou Dewei has no interest in this ethereal thing, but this person is not a "good type", but it is not good to offend directly. But judging from the appeal of this voice, it seems that the intention is very big, if it refuses directly at this time, it will probably annoy the "immortals" of Penglai Immortal Mountain. But if it is promised, then it will be with the lord of the kingdom......

Zhou Dewei's silence made the voice sound again, "If General Zhou is unwilling, then we don't have to force it." It's just that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and General Zhou still needs to be careful. ”

The threat in his words had gradually risen to the dust, and Zhou Dewei could only compromise and say: "Then ask the immortal master for help first, but how the lord of the country will decide, he doesn't dare to make a judgment." The voice laughed loudly when he heard this, "General Zhou, this is good, and it also saves me from waiting to continue to ethereate between this virtual reality." ”

By the time the words fell, several people had already come from not far away. These people were all dressed in white, and they were no different from the people Zhou Dewei had killed just now. Zhou Dewei suddenly felt an inexplicable chill coming, and the white-clothed man headed by the man in white held the dust, looking like a fairy wind and bones, and recited the Taoist mantra, "There is no way to do anything, like a dream and a fantasy." I've seen General Zhou......"

Zhou Dewei turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and saluted back, "In this way, there will be all the immortal masters......"
