Chapter 145: Spellcasting
On the altar, Zhuge Liang stepped on Xinggang, and his mana penetrated the earth along the soles of his feet, hooking the power of the leylines of Caomiao Mountain.
The power of the leylines, to put it bluntly, is the energy underground.
For example, the magma underground, such as geothermal heat, etc., is also an expression of the power of the leylines.
To put it more mysteriously, the direction of the nearby mountains and rivers, as well as the magnetic field of this place underground, etc., just form a kind of potential. If the monk can borrow this momentum, he will be able to call the wind and rain, and he will be able to cast spells beyond the level.
Caomiao Mountain is a node with the strongest power of the earth's leylines within a radius of 100 miles.
It's just that because of the stone statue in the grass temple on this mountain, the power of the leylines of the grass temple mountain is not obvious, and there is no tendency to flourish.
In the previous life, after the original owner learned "Qimen Dunjia", when he traveled to Xichuan before going out of the mountain, by chance, he found the special of Caomiao Mountain, but the power of the leylines was not obvious.
Although the power of the leylines of Caomiao Mountain has not flourished, Zhuge Liang can use the formation and use the mana to penetrate the leyline nodes, and he can guide the power of this leyline to flourish, and then borrow it for his own use.
A trace of mana, with Zhuge Liang's pace, under the traction of the altar, penetrated the leylines.
Zhuge Liang could clearly feel that under the hook of his mana, the power of the earth's leylines began to flourish one by one.
Soon, the heat began to fall near Caomiao Mountain.
The hot and cold air hedged, and gradually the wind picked up.
At this time, Zhuge Liang guided this hot air, and his divine consciousness began to extend in the direction of the Qinling Mountains.
In fact, the foundation realm cultivators, the divine consciousness is naturally unable to perceive things or things a hundred or ten miles away. But with the blessing of the power of the leylines of Caomiao Mountain, Zhuge Liang was originally able to sense the divine sense within a thousand-step range, and he could barely sense the situation in the sky above the Qinling Mountains.
Beyond the Qinling Mountains, it is Guanzhong.
At this time, it was rainy weather in Guanzhong.
The power of the leylines gradually flourished, and Zhuge Liang's divine consciousness continued to cross the sky above the Qinling Mountains.
At this time, Zhuge Liang felt a coldness. It's not that his body feels cold, but his divine sense feels it, the Guanzhong region, close to the edge of the Qinling Mountains, the cold and the dampness in the air.
At this time, Zhuge Liang should have continued, using mana to drive this cold air and let them cross the Qinling Mountains and spread to the Hanzhong region.
It's just that after feeling the cold air at the edge of the Qinling Mountains, Zhuge Liang's divine consciousness was tired.
After all, Zhuge Liang now only has the fivefold cultivation of the foundation realm, not only is there not much mana in the sea of consciousness, but his divine sense is not strong enough, if there is no blessing of the power of the grass temple mountain veins, his Zhuge Liang's divine recognition is said to be outside the Qinling Mountains, even if he senses Xicheng County, it is enough to choke.
Stopping his steps, Zhuge Liang sat cross-legged on the altar, slowly recovering his mana, and also allowing his divine sense to rest for a while.
……
In Xicheng County, the officers and soldiers of the Hanzhong Army poured into the city like a tide, putting on a posture of preparing for success.
On the city wall, Liu Bei had long been ready for battle.
When two puffs of wolf smoke rose from Phoenix Mountain, Liu Bei knew that Phoenix Mountain could not be defended, and then quickly asked the soldiers to go up to the city wall and wait for the battle.
Because, two puffs of wolf smoke mean that Zhang Lu is using zombies to attack Phoenix Mountain.
The three thousand soldiers on Phoenix Mountain are just ordinary soldiers, and they are no match for zombies at all.
Therefore, if Zhang Lu uses zombies to attack the mountain, Pang Tong will not be able to defend the mountain.
At this time, Pang Tong had already returned to Xicheng County.
Behind Phoenix Mountain is a cliff, even if Zhang Lu's army besieges Phoenix Mountain, it is impossible to surround the cliffs and cliffs. Therefore, when the Phoenix Mountain was withdrawn, Pang Tong took the three thousand soldiers directly to the cliff, and then returned to Xicheng County from the bottom of the cliff.
In the city gate tower, looking at the formation of Zhang Lu's 100,000 army, Liu Bei was a little worried.
He was not worried about Zhang Lu's success in driving an army of 100,000, but about those zombies in Zhang Lu's army. After all, zombie swords are hard to hurt, and the bows and crossbows on the city walls and rolling wood and stones don't seem to be of much use against zombies.
"Shi Yuan, if Zhang Lu uses zombies to succeed later, what can he do?" Liu Bei thought about Pang Tong and asked.
Pang Tong comforted: "Don't worry, don't worry, those zombies in Zhang Lu's army have Kong Ming to solve." ”
However, Kong Ming's desire to attract the Divine Thunder Splitting Zombie is not a one-day effort. During this time, the lord only needs to prepare more oil, and if zombies participate in the siege, let the soldiers set fire to it. ”
Zombies can't fly away.
Therefore, if zombies want to attack the city, they have to go through normal channels.
Either break through the gates or climb the ladder like the soldiers.
The war is imminent, and several city gates in Xicheng County have already lowered the jack gates. Not to mention that zombies want to break the door, even if it is a martial artist of the Condensation Realm, it is easy to break it.
Therefore, in Pang Tong's expectation, if Zhang Lu wanted the zombies to break the city, he could only pass through the ladder.
Perhaps, those zombies will be mixed in with the siege soldiers, right?
Thinking of this, Pang Tong suggested again: "Zhang Lu's army is new, and the lord can let General Guan or General Zhang go out of the city to challenge and fight with Zhang Lu." In this way, it may be possible to delay for a day or two, and at that time, Kong Ming's spell will almost be completed. ”
……
Burning zombies with fire oil and pouring down the bottom is not a panacea.
Who knew that there were zombies in that wave of enemy troops besieging the city?
Who knows which ladder has zombies on it?
Xicheng County's fire oil reserves are not infinite, it is impossible for the enemy to lean on the city wall every cloud ladder, they use fire oil to burn it, right?
Since you can't cover everything, if a fish slips through the net and gets on the city wall, Xicheng County is really likely to lose it!
Now, it is time to delay the siege of Zhang Lu's army.
It is a common practice for generals to fight alone on the battlefield, which can not only stimulate morale, but also delay time.
Of course, Pang Tong is also selfish in suggesting this.
According to Zhuge Kongming, there were no Condensation Realm warriors in Zhang Lu's army.
However, in the face of the challenges of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhang Lu could not refrain from fighting.
If there is no war, the Hanzhong army will have no morale.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Zhang Lu should fight.
However, isn't there no Condensation Realm martial artist under Zhang Lu's command?
Then, those who go head-to-head with Guan Yunchang or Zhang Yide must be zombies.
Moreover, it is very likely to be a super powerful zombie.
Wasn't the zombie in Shangyong City crippled by Guan Lao'er?
The zombies that Zhang Lu sent out to fight this time are definitely not the same in strength.
Pang Tong's selfishness is to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go out and be taught a lesson.
Those two guys have always despised him and Kong Ming from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, in the matter of Kengguan Yu and Zhang Fei, Pang Tong and Zhuge Kongming also have the same thoughts.
Of course, it's just a pit, which makes Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suffer a little.
With the strength of the two of them, can't they escape if they can't be defeated?
