Chapter 19: The Battle of the Spirit Temple

Zhang Huan took Xiaogui and Xiaoduo straight to Longhu Mountain, seeing the sun setting in the west, Xiaogui asked, "Master, do you want to play a shop?" ”

"Don't invest in the store, let's drive ten miles further, there is a Lingguan Hall in front, it's best to rest there."

"Is Master afraid that someone in the town store will intercept you?" Xiaogui asked.

"It's not interception, Xiaogui," Zhang Huan said, "it's the chasing soldiers, besides, I'm afraid it's not people who come to do it with us." ”

"Master, I don't understand."

"You've seen two black things on the court."

"See."

"How do you feel when you see them?"

"It's like I feel cold in the depths of my soul."

"That's right, those two are a kind of weirdness made by wizards, called necromancy."

Necromantic ......

"Yes, the necromancer of the enslaved."

"Master, I heard that Master Xu and Master Niang are wizards, are wizards good or bad?"

"I'm afraid it's quite complicated."

"Of course my father and mother are good people!" Xu Xiaoduo pouted.

"The two of them are the best people I've ever met in my life, otherwise I wouldn't have been friends with them for so many years, Xiaogui, you are also a disciple of the Heavenly Master, so it doesn't hurt to talk to you."

"The world we live in was originally a huge chaos, and then an initial force split the chaos, with the sun, moon and stars, and the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas." Zhang Huan said.

"I know this," said Xiao Duo, "my mother said that there was an immortal named Pangu who split Chaos with two axes. ”

"That's a myth, whether it's Pangu or not, we don't know yet, anyway, we don't know where the axe came from. But then, the earth gradually became human. At that time, people were far away in the West, living a dangerous life, with poisonous insects, fierce beasts, and many other human-like and non-human animals, killing each other. ”

"Later people's ancestors gradually expanded eastward, from the plateau to the seashore, and in the process, they met other people who were very similar to them, but completely different. They did not kill them, but lived with these distant relatives, some of whom intermarried with each other and gave birth to mixed-race children, and these children gradually developed some talents that neither of their parents had. ”

"Sister, what is mixed-race, how do you give birth to mixed-race children?" Xiao Duo interjected and asked.

"When you're older, you'll understand, listen to Master first." Xiaogui replied.

"Wizards like to say that their ancestors are mountain ghost Niangniang, and Mountain Ghost Niangniang has brought the ability to master spells to their bloodline, but Brother Xu and I have studied some ancient documents, as well as some ruins of Chudi, there should be no mountain ghost Niangniang, this is the fusion between the two races, resulting in an extraordinary miracle. These children and their descendants can drive the forces of chaos as it bursts. ”

"This is the truth of the mountain ghost wizards, their descendants intermarry with each other, forming four big surnames, and the four big surnames intermarry with each other, and the mana of the children is even more superb, but if the four big surnames intermarry with other people, the mana of the children is often mediocre. Occasionally, they were found to be able to use mana, and wizards would often take them away from their parents if they found such boys and girls. ”

"It's cruel." Xiao Duo said.

"That's right, their original intention was that witchcraft should not be leaked. But later, someone did something even more cruel, the Huo family made a terrible attempt more than twenty years ago, that is, to capture a group of children who had no magic talent at all and use them for potion trials. ”

"Touch the keychain?" Xiao Duo asked.

"It's testing on people with magical drugs." Xiaogui explained.

"Well, they experimented on human bodies with potions, hoping to turn the akumin into a physique capable of controlling spells."

"Why would they do that?" Xiaogui asked.

"Wizards have a long lifespan, they are handsome in appearance, they live a worry-free life, but wizarding society also has its troubles."

"A young shaman may study potions and witchcraft until he is twenty-four or five, or even thirty years old, before he marries, has children, and has offspring, both male and female. So the descendants of wizards became very rare. ”

"No one wants to have children."

"Pregnancy is a wear and tear on a witch's career, body, and mana, and for the sake of their children's health, they are not able to use potions or spells to alleviate their pain, which makes many people afraid of childbirth. If you marry a woman who is a vegetarian, it is easy to give birth to a weak child, or even a complete vegetarian, and you will lose the status of the family. ”

"Some wizards think that it is better to let nature go with the flow and let the wizard tribe slowly disappear, but the Huo family has always been worried about the demise of wizards and thinks that the wizard population should be increased, who do you think is right?"

"I think it seems that the Huo family's idea also makes sense."

"That's right, there is actually no right or wrong in this matter, but later, the Huo family became obsessed with the devil and began to artificially create wizards, and even used that barbaric drug method. They all choose girls, firstly, they think that girls are easy to control, and secondly, they provide fertility machines for the men of the Huo family, as long as women. Third, they foolishly thought that the introduction of male experimenters would tarnish the sorcerer's bloodline. ”

"It's so barbaric." Xiao Gui muttered.

"This woman Li Lianqiao is the first batch of survivors of the Potions Trial, and later the Huo family's experiment was revealed, and the Huo family was originally going to kill them, but under the opposition of Brother Zhixun and some well-meaning wizards, the Wizards Guild decided to accept these girls."

"In this way, Master Xu is the life-saving benefactor of Li Lianqiao."

"It can be said that Li Lianqiao should have been very obsessed with Brother Zhixun for a while, but Brother Zhixun and Tian Xiaoqian had already been engaged, and they were childhood sweethearts, and later Li Lianqiao married Shangguan Luoma, and soon became a widow."

"It should have been her who killed Shangguan Loma."

"It seems likely now, but at the time, there was no evidence. The prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty forcibly robbed Mrs. Xu, it should be Li Lianqiao who did something inside, and later framed Mrs. Xu in the court, it should be her. ”

"Master, I want to kill Li Forsythia directly and end all this." Xiaogui said.

"I've always thought about this, but Heavenly Master Dao has the rules of Heavenly Master Dao, that is, we must not intervene in palace disputes, we must protect human beings, but we do not intervene in human infighting, so, Xiaogui, you can't do this thing. But Xu Yongzhi can do it, and when I return to the mountain, I will announce that he will be exempted from the status of a disciple of the Heavenly Master Dao, and let him go to take revenge. ”

"Disciple knows." Xiaogui said.

"I can take revenge too." Xiao Duo said.

"Yes, you can too, but you have to grow into an adult first." Zhang Huan said.

"Li Lianqiao has been operating in the Southern Tang Dynasty for almost twenty years, her strength is very great, and her subordinates should have also collected a group of Huo family members who were expelled by wizards, these people are also difficult to deal with, the Yu family teamed up with her to frame Brother Zhixun this time, and she has the assistance of necromancy, in the short term, we can't move her."

"Master, so what exactly is necromancy?"

"They are the dead presidents of the wizards' guilds of the past."

"Dead President!"

"Yes!"

"The presidents of the past generations, as long as they died of natural causes, will be buried in the deep water of the Peach Blossom Spring, although these people have died, but the new president has the ability to awaken them."

"When the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, Yang Guang, that is, the later Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, once discovered the entrance to the Peach Blossom Spring, and led the army to attack the Peach Blossom Spring, at that time, all the wizards were engaged in the battle to defend the Peach Blossom Spring, but under the attack of the army, the casualties were quite tragic, with all due respect, wizards are not good at this kind of positional warfare at all."

"The head of the guild at that time was the head of the Huo family, and in desperation, he awakened the spirits of the seven ancestors of Shenshuiyuan, and these seven immortal spirits helped the wizards destroy Yang Guang's army, and made him dare not come again."

"The seven spirits also fell into eternal sleep during the battle, and can no longer be evoked."

Since then, President Huo has made a decision to wait for his death to seal his spirit body and prepare for future dangers. His subsequent presidents also sealed their spirits before they died, just to protect the wizarding world. ”

"I don't know why, I suddenly feel a little bit that these old gentlemen are really not easy." Xiaogui said.

"Their idea is naturally good, but I strongly disagree with this approach." Zhang Huan said.

"Why?" Xiaogui asked.

"Spirits are intellectually ignorant and can only mechanically obey orders, and once one of the presidents is ambitious, the spirits become the president's tools to suppress dissent."

"Suppression of dissidents?"

"Yes, Yu Sanjiang is such a person, he equips the spirits with iron armor and weapons, and makes them accept his command as warriors. Arrest whoever you want, beat whoever you want, under his obscenity, the four major families had no choice but to let him hunt down and kill Brother Zhixun. ”

"What a tyrant."

"He can't just destroy your body, but also insult your soul. Think about it, a wizard who is hunted down by a necromancer, and eventually discovers that the necromancer who is chasing you may be your family's ancestors at all. ”

"This thing is very inhumane, very barbaric, and once noble souls are being called around like slaves. This is also why Brother Zhixun's father, that is, Xiao Duo's grandfather, decided to burn his body before he died, and Brother Zhixun also used the fireball technique before he died, and they would not allow themselves to be used by the wicked as errands after death. ”

"I see."

"So necromancy is very difficult to deal with, although the dead cannot use spells, but in themselves are extremely terrifying resentment and momentum, they regard their opponents as enemies that threaten the wizarding world, their will to fight is strong, and they are tireless at all. Silver-plated swords will only work against them. ”

"Mine has." Xiao Gui looked at his sword.

"Because the Xu family has long been preparing for this day."

"Why didn't Master and Master tell us earlier......"

"They want you to never get involved in all of this and live the life of a normal businessman."

"They're carrying too much on their own."

"This is your Master Xu's style of life. Okay, dismount, we're here. ”

A depressed and dilapidated Lingguan Palace.

"The temple is very broken, but it is very strong," Zhang Huan looked at the Lingguan Master and said to Xiaogui, "You take Xiaoduo to hide in the secret door behind the Lingguan Master, which was used by the hosts in the past to hide from the chaotic soldiers, and if anything happens for a while, don't come out." ”

"Master, I can help!"

"No!"

Zhang Huan sat on the threshold, and the sunset outside the door was just right.

He opened the gourd and took a few sips, the wine was distilled and quite spicy and mellow.

At the speed of necromancy, it should be chasing it right away.

The temple was getting darker and darker, and the necromancer had not yet appeared.

Zhang Huan looked at the sword in his hand, "Could it be that I miscalculated?" ”

The moon hung over the treetops.

Zhang Huan felt that eerie and cold battle intent.

"They're waiting for a better opportunity, they don't use their eyes, and I do, so they wait until night to attack - they don't have brains, but with the instincts they've formed throughout their lives, they're still the best fighters."

Two black shadows appeared under the moon, and the outside of the Lingguan Hall suddenly became gloomy and gloomy.

Zhang Huan pulled out the long sword in his hand.

"I pity you."

"When I was alive, I broke my heart for a group."

"When he died, he gave his spirit to future generations."

"Didn't you think you might become a walking dead manipulated by bad guys when you made this decision?"

"A living hero, a dead aid."

"It's better to burn yourself back then, and the white expanse is really clean."

Without a response, they are unwise, ignorant, ignorant......

Two black shadows silently attacked from both sides.

Two black swords, stabbing Zhang Huan's ribs left and right.

Zhang Huan blocked them one by one.

When fighting, those who are not afraid of death are more powerful than those who are afraid of death.

For example, Xiaogui's style of play belongs to not being afraid of death.

More powerful than those who are not afraid of death are those who do not know death.

For example, the silly boy Duan Zishou never knew what death was.

Even more terrible than those who do not know death are those who are already dead.

Two necromancers are such people.

For people who are dead, you use the sword technique of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", but it doesn't work, because it won't hurt anymore, and you won't die again, and you still have to consider the consequences of being hit by the sword.

Zhang Huan had to block every sword of the necromancy, but he still took the opportunity to return the seventeen swords.

There is a small hole in the stomach of the statue of the spirit officer, and Xiaogui can see it clearly there.

That is, the master, can attack such a swordsmanship.

But most of the seventeen swords were stabbed into the black armor of the necromancy, and they did no damage.

And the cold of the necromancy was eroding his heart.

This is not the first time he has faced necromancy.

Twenty years ago, Zhang Huan and Xu Zhixun once teamed up to deal with a necromancer, and they didn't feel too much effort at the time, and after the two slashed the necromancer with two swords, the necromancer retreated.

Therefore, Zhang Huan felt that twenty years later, he should be able to deal with two necromancers alone.

It's too big.

Man cannot be arrogant, he cannot be inflated.

One plus one must be greater than two, and two divided by two may be less than one.

The momentum of the two necromancyrs slowly increased, and Zhang Huan only felt that his heart was getting heavier and heavier, and he became cold and desperate little by little.

He picked up the gourd, trying to warm himself up.

The mouth is spicy, the stomach is hot, but the heart is still getting cold.

Their attacks are not physical attacks at all.

They will slowly crush you in your heart.

Zhang Huan's mind began to have all kinds of different distractions.

"My sword, does it still make sense?"

"Is there any meaning to my life?"

"A person's life is nothing more than a small thing compared to heaven and earth."

His sword was getting heavier and heavier, and he only felt that it was very difficult to lift his arms, legs and feet.

The happiness, desire, and sense of accomplishment of the past forty years have been sucked away by these two cold guys.

"Oh, no."

Zhang Huan pinched a five-thunder method in his left hand and slashed at the two necromancers.

They each took three steps back, but the necromancer was a spirit, not a demon, so the Five Thunder Laws couldn't destroy them.

Zhang Huan took advantage of this opportunity to restrain his mind.

He groped in his mind for the emotional energy he had been suppressing for the past two days.

Wrath.

"Don't kill them all!"

"You have to leave room for things!"

"You killed my best brother, I'm going to fight with you!"

Effective!

He used a set of tempest sword techniques like a storm!

"Medium!"

The sword pierced through the gap in the armor and stabbed the necromancer's head.

That body began to tremble violently, and then burst into a shining light!

The armor fell to the ground, and the spirit turned into a puddle of water.

Zhang Huan looked at another opponent.

But after the blow was successful, his heart was already empty.

All of his emotional energy was drained, and he could no longer attack the next necromancer.

The opponent slowly approached him, strangling him by the throat with an ironclad hand.

At this time, the crossbow bolt stuck in the throat of the necromancer! Good arrows!

Xiao Gui stood by the idol, staring at the reaction of the necromancer.

The necromancer put down Zhang Huan and slowly walked towards Xiaogui.

Xiaogui's crossbow bolts are not silver.

Although it shot through the throat of the other party perfectly, the necromancer doesn't care, and the dead don't need to breathe!

Under the counterattack of Xiao Gui's double swords, the necromancer easily strangled Xiao Guibai's thin neck and lifted her up.

Now she has no power to fight back.

His strength was drained by the necromancer, and his will to live was lost little by little.

"Is that the end of it?" She was a little unwilling in her heart, but this unwillingness, so weak, so helpless, was not enough to support her to make any counterattack.

She felt her soul float up to the sky, higher and higher, and she saw the young man on the plateau who carried her on his horse and galloped up and down the snow.

"Yongzhi, I'm sorry!"

She couldn't hear it.

Her big beautiful eyes slowly closed.
