Chapter 456: Nine Palace Spirit Gu
Xiao Yao sensed the trouble of things from Yi Tian's words, it seems that the Witch God Temple was also forced by the imperial court to sign an alliance under the city, if this is really violated, then it will face a full-scale war with the imperial court, and the imperial court will never allow a unified and powerful Miao Jiang to appear, and the most likely to unify Miao Jiang is the Wu God Temple with divine power.
It seems that the low-key of the Witch Temple for so many years is also to avoid arousing the suspicion of the imperial court, and if the Witch Temple stands up this time, then the nature of the war will change, and the imperial court will completely change from promoting the reform of the land to the elimination of the enemy's separatist regime.
At that time, the imperial court will definitely send more troops into Miaojiang, and it is estimated that Miaojiang at that time will really be everywhere.
Yi Tian's concerns Xiao Yao agreed very much, but if he couldn't help Peng Shan this time, then first of all, Xizhou City would be in danger, and if Xizhou City was taken, who could guarantee that the appetite of the imperial court would not become greater, and then it might not only be to change the land and return to the stream, but to completely eliminate the original tribal structure of Miao Jiang.
"Senior, then don't you worry, will the army of the imperial court come to Phoenix Mountain?" Xiao Yao asked his own question.
"Worried, and if we don't do something, the army of the imperial court will definitely come to Phoenix Mountain." Yi Tian replied in the affirmative.
This sentence surprised Xiao Yao a little, it seems that this first witch god is very calm and objective in judging the situation, and he does not have any luck mentality.
"Teacher, what can we do, we can't get out now." Yi Feng asked with some anxiety.
But the first witch god did not speak, but looked at Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao didn't talk immediately, and suddenly felt as if he had missed a key. Slowly, a complete vein gradually emerged in my heart.
"Senior, in fact, you blocked the watchtower of the Witch God Temple, not because of that big chaos, but to sue the court that the Witch God Temple will not come forward in this war, so as to eliminate this excuse of the court." Xiao Yao said the answer that came to mind in his heart.
Yi Tian looked at Xiao Yao with very appreciative eyes, looked at it for a while, and then said slowly, "Miao Jiang is weak, and it is divided into many tribes, even if the four Miao descendants are not united, so our Witch God Temple has no other choice but to avoid the worst first." ”
Yi Tian paused here and then continued.
"I naturally know Peng's Tusi's thoughts, he wants to hang the name of uniting the Witch Temple on them, so that they have the righteousness of leading Miao Jiang, I believe Xiao Gongzi, you also understand, in fact, the Witch Temple doesn't care who is leading Miao Jiang, but we can't allow the worst to happen."
Yi Tian's words made Xiao Yao feel a lot of helplessness, indeed, Miao Jiang faced the imperial court, and the hole cards in his hand were extremely limited, and once the war broke out in an all-round way, what would happen to Miao Jiang, maybe it would be a very tragic result, there are too many variables in this, and the determination to start a full-scale war is not just a matter of saying, because it is related to the lives of many people.
"Senior, I understand your situation and concerns very well, but passive waiting will only make the situation worse and worse, so you must turn passive into active in order to earn a chance to survive." Xiao Yao didn't want to give up.
"I believe that Peng's Tusi is also ready to do without the help of the Witch God Temple, but with such a catastrophe, our Witch God Temple really can't do nothing. Xiao Gongzi, you, an outsider, are so concerned about the thousands of people in our Miao Territory, which makes me very moved. After our witch temple entered Miaojiang, it was passed down for thousands of years, not just to survive, but to better protect Miaojiang. ”
Yi Tian's words were very slow, but Xiao Yao felt a huge energy from them.
"Miao Jiang is our thousand-year-old homeland, how can we give it to others like this, and we are the descendants of the Jiuli tribe, how can we be afraid of war. So before you came, we had already drawn up a plan, the Peng Clan Tusi had already taken the Nine Palace Spirit Gu from the Witch God Temple's underground palace, and our Witch God Temple would send someone to help them open the Nine Palace Spirit Gu. ”
Xiao Yao and Yi Feng looked at Yi Tian puzzled, they had never heard of any Nine Palace Spirit Gu.
Mu Huan next to him began to slowly introduce, it turned out that this Nine Palace Spirit Gu was a kind of Spirit Gu array refined by the seventh generation of Great Witch God to guard Phoenix Mountain, and it was originally guarded by the Ghost Hou One Pulse, but at that time, due to the civil strife in Miao Jiang, the Ghost Hou One Pulse faded out, so this Nine Palace Spirit Gu has been buried under the nine pillars of the Witch God Temple's underground palace.
Each pillar is buried with a totem of the Jiuli tribe back then, and the nine totems can form the Jiuli Spirit Gu Array. This Nine Li Spirit Gu was refined from the corpses of some half-step Transformation Realm masters back then, and then it was sealed into nine totems, but Phoenix Mountain has never had the opportunity to use it.
And if you want to use this Nine Palace Spirit Gu Array, you must first get the Nine Palace Spirit Gu that has been sealed for thousands of years, and then draw the Spirit Gu out of the totem, merge the nine into one, and give birth to the Nine Palace Spirit Gu, so that the Gu Array can be arranged.
It's just that now there is no one in the Ghost Hou Pulse who can open this Nine Palace Spirit Gu Array, so the people from the Witch God Temple must come forward to help.
Xiao Yao had seen the Spirit Gu Array, but Xiao Yao still felt a little unreliable about using this thing to block the army of the imperial court, because almost all Gu worms had one thing in common, that is, they were afraid of fire. I believe that the Nine Palaces Spirit Gu is the same, this is the instinct of living beings, no one can do anything, you have arranged a Spirit Gu array on your side, and the court side only needs to send archers to shoot some rockets.
At the same time, the imperial court dared to press the territory with a large army, that is, it must have fully considered the various difficulties of conquering Miao Jiang, and there must be people in the army who specialize in dealing with witchcraft.
Yi Tian seemed to see Xiao Yao's doubts, and explained: "Young Master Xiao, this Nine Palace Spirit Gu is different from ordinary Spirit Gu Arrays, the reason why it is the guardian treasure of our Phoenix Mountain is not because of his aggressiveness, but because of one of its characteristics, that is, his sphere of influence. The Nine Palace Spirit Gu Array can cover the entire main peak of Phoenix Mountain, and it can probably also cover Xizhou City. Moreover, the Nine Palace Spirit Gu Array is a kind of auxiliary Gu Array, and his true effect is to affect the reaction speed of people who enter the range of this large array, making people's reactions extremely sluggish. ”
"Wouldn't that affect both sides?" Xiao Yao asked.
"Yes, both sides will be affected, and the large array will only last for about a month, but there is a way to eliminate the impact on our personnel. As long as you drink the water containing the antidote before entering the Great Array, you will not be affected by this Gu Array. Yi Tian said.
"In other words, this big array can buy Xizhou City a month." Xiao Yao asked.
"Yes, this is already a very powerful Gu array, he can cover the entire Xizhou City, acting on tens of thousands of people, so the speed of energy consumption is also very fast, once this large array is activated. The energy that has been sealed inside for thousands of years will be exhausted at once. Therefore, Xizhou City can only have one more month, which is already a very good result. Yi Tian continued.
"Seniors, are there any special conditions for the opening of this Spirit Gu Array?" Xiao Yao asked some specific questions.
"Yi Ming, come on, this time you will go to Xizhou in person." Yi Tian looked at Yi Ming, the third temple witch god beside him.
"The Nine Palace Spirit Gu Array is a special way to use the remnants of the half-step Transformation Realm master after his death as the prototype of the Yuan Shen to seal the high-level spirit Gu and it together. After activation, the seals of these primordial forms will be opened, so under the influence of this, people below the transformation realm will become sluggish in their actions and reactions. But once the sealed primordial spirit prototype energy was exhausted, the great array would lose its power. At the same time, due to the need to open the seal, once the Gu array is arranged, it can no longer move, that is, the large array will only have an effect on the people inside the formation, and the people outside the formation will not be affected. Yi Ming began to introduce the detailed part to Xiao Yao.
It turns out that the antidote to this Nine Palace Spirit Gu Array is to release the primordial spirit bones sealed in the Nine Palaces Spirit Gu, and the nine totem spirit bones left behind, grind them into powder and give them water to drink, because they are the same as the primordial spirit formation, they can not be affected by the big array, but those nine spirit bones are very limited, and they can't make too many antidotes at all, according to Yi Ming's estimate, they can be drunk by up to five thousand people, that is to say, at the same time as the big array is opened, there will be no more than five thousand people in Xizhou City who can still maintain their standing strength.
Although the large array still has many restrictions and shortcomings, it can delay the progress of the imperial army's attack for a month, which is already a very heavy victory in itself, at least a month's time, and it also consumes a month's grain and grass for the imperial army.
But according to Yi Tian's orders, Yi Ming, the third temple witch god, could only go back with Xiao Yao secretly, unless there was also a half-step master of the transformation realm on the side of the imperial army, Yi Ming would never be able to make a move.
This is a tacit understanding, that is, both sides are wars of people below the half-step transformation realm, once the half-step transformation realm masters are not restricted from interfering in the war, then the war will escalate, because these people can often take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies, but there must be far more such masters in the Central Plains than Miao Jiang, and the third temple witch god rashly made a move, which would give the court more excuses.
Xiao Yao felt very lucky, fortunately, his realm had slipped back to gathering qi into a blade, which was the highest level that could participate in this war.
At the same time, Yi Tian also asked Xiao Yao to leave with Yi Feng, so that he could experience it outside.
When the three of them left, the witch temple closed the sluice, so the three of them didn't have to dive, and under the leadership of Yi Ming, the three of them took a different route, which was much more convenient than the route Xiao Yao came in.
Xiao Yao originally wanted to take Li Song with him, but Yi Ming did not agree with Xiao Yao's approach, the front line was too dangerous, and once the war was in chaos, he could not take Li Song's safety into account at all, so Xiao Yao had to give up. I can only find a chance to take him to Xizhou in the future, and it is also a good arrangement for him to stay and take care of his mother.
