Chapter 405: Tail Walker
Dunhuang Grottoes is Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as the Cave of a Thousand Buddhas, located in Dunhuang on the west side of the Hexi Corridor, and Luoyang Longmen Grottoes, Datong Yungang Grottoes together and called the three major grottoes in China.
Traveling west along the Silk Road, Lu Xiao took out the outfit he had prepared at the sixth special point of FGO.
The desolate Gobi Desert has a lot of windy sand, and the further west you go, the more sparse the vegetation density becomes, and the more common the sand and dust climate becomes.
Yuwen Tuo and Dugu Ningke successively sent troops to the Dunhuang Grottoes, but these soldiers were blocked by the power of the Thousand Buddhas in the Dunhuang Grottoes, and were trapped in the Buddha Caves to accept the control of the sound of the piano by Fu Xiqin.
The Dunhuang Grottoes are a holy place containing the Buddha's will, and the Fuxi Qin is also an ancient artifact with good characteristics.
They don't take a heavy hand on soldiers who break into the grotto, but these soldiers who have been pierced by the sound of magic will probably remain [Nameless fo] stupid for a while.
The power of the Fuxi Qin itself can only play a catalytic role, and the power of the Thousand Buddhas who trapped the soldiers in the stone cave to receive the baptism of the sound of the qin is the most critical problem.
Before leaving, Lu Xiao asked for the Pangu Axe from Chen Jingqiu's hand, and he planned to use the power of the Pangu Axe to split the space to forcibly break through the barrier of the power of the Thousand Buddhas.
When he arrived outside the Dunhuang Grottoes, the military camps densely scattered on the wasteland surprised Lu Xiao.
The troops sent by Yuwentuo to find Fu Xiqin in the early days and the second batch of troops instigated by Dugu Ningke combined, and the total number of soldiers outside the Dunhuang Grottoes has exceeded 10,000.
'Actually left 10,000 soldiers in remote Dunhuang to be brainwashed by the magic sound, Yang Guang, you are really willing. ’
After the second group of soldiers instigated by Dugu Ningke also failed, Yang Guang, under the persuasion of Yuwentuo, did not send more reinforcements to the Dunhuang Grottoes.
Now commanding this ragtag army is Shangguan Zhenyuan, one of the four tiger generals under Yuwen Tuo.
However, although he is a commander, he is actually basically doing the work of a nanny.
Thousands of stupid soldiers needed to be taken care of, and Shangguan Zhenyuan had to recruit military caregivers from the surrounding villages and towns.
Shangguan Zhenyuan, who was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, had no leisure and no manpower to tightly seal the Dunhuang Grottoes, and Lu Xiao slipped into the grottoes without much effort.
The Dunhuang Grottoes, known as the Thousand Buddha Caves, contain a large number of caves carved with Buddha statues and Buddhist murals.
According to the information obtained by Li Jing, Fu Xiqin should have been placed in the deepest part of the Thousand Buddha Cave, and the power of the Thousand Buddhas left behind by someone firmly guarded Fu Xiqin.
Once caught in the formation, it is impossible for the idle people to break out of the formation, and Fu Xiqin will begin to exert his ability at this time, expelling the intruders with a sound that can control people's hearts, and will leave them with a short period of sequelae.
Along the way, admiring the exquisite murals and Buddhist statues, Lu Xiao suddenly stopped before entering one of the caves.
A looming Buddha light overflowed from the largest stone cave, and before Lu Xiao entered the cave, the sixth sense began to warn him.
"Is this it?"
The Sui army, who knew the strangeness of the Dunhuang Grottoes, had long stayed away from this cave, and there were no soldiers on duty nearby, which facilitated Lu Xiao's actions.
Taking out the Pangu Axe from the portable space, Lu Xiao injected his spiritual power into the artifact.
The use of the Pangu axe was simple and rude, and Lu Xiao picked up the long-handled battle axe with both hands and slashed forward vigorously.
"Walk you!"
Obviously slashed in the empty air, the Pangu Axe was like a real thing, and there was a momentary pause in the air.
"Click!"
With the crisp cracking sound like substance, the hazy Buddha light in the cave suddenly dissipated, and Lu Xiao vaguely heard the sigh of who was left in the cave.
Ignoring the incomplete consciousness remaining in the power of the Thousand Buddhas for the time being, Lu Xiao carefully walked into the cave with a giant axe in his hand.
The cave has a huge mural painted on the wall, and the statues of the Buddhas are also carved to life.
But Lu Xiao did not pay attention to these religious artworks, his eyes were attracted by the jade qin placed on the Buddhist platform.
"Is this Fu Xiqin?"
The gradually enlarged mental control ability made Lu Xiao's brows furrow slightly, and Fu Xiqin, who was placed in the heart of the Buddha Cave Array, was playing his role as an ancient artifact all the time.
'Who put Fu Xiqin here?' ’
The moment Fu Xiqin was lifted from the Buddha platform, the strange spiritual waves that filled the Buddha cave finally stopped.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Lu Xiao immediately turned on the breath after recovering the two artifacts, and quietly slipped out of the Mogao Grottoes along the original road.
When he came to the door, the clairvoyant's danger foreknowledge suddenly came into play.
Lu Xiao's left foot, which was about to fall, hovered in mid-air, and used the right foot supporting his body to twist the direction in place, narrowly avoiding the sonic impact aimed at his intended foothold.
Frowning and looking in the direction where the attack was issued, the Eagle Eye Technique did not gain anything, and the person hiding in the dark sneak attack seemed to retreat with one blow.
Although it failed to cause harm to Lu Xiao, the sound wave that suddenly exploded at night attracted Shangguan Zhenyuan's attention.
Shangguan Zhenyuan's tent was an uninvited guest who should not have been here, and under her reminder, Shangguan Zhenyuan kept vigilant, and at the same time as the sound wave exploded, he immediately led his personal guards to the scene.
The effect of sound waves is not only to warn, but the energy ripples that blow through will lift Lu Xiao's breath blocking state.
When Shangguan Zhenyuan came to the scene, he saw the "man from the Western Regions" wearing a hood and a veil on his face at a glance.
"Western Regions, covet ancient artifacts......"
Shangguan Zhenyuan was an experienced general in leading troops, and under someone's deliberate guidance, he immediately connected Lu Xiao with the assassin who set fire to the dragon boat.
Shangguan Zhenyuan's face sank, and he calmly commanded the personal guards to surround Lu Xiao: "This person is the assassin who burned the dragon boat, take him down and send him back to Daxing!" It will be left to Master Yuwen and His Majesty to decide. ”
"Yes!"
Lu Xiao didn't take these miscellaneous soldiers seriously, he was expanding the scope of Eagle Vision, trying to find the person who had plotted against him before.
Found it. ’
Contrary to Lu Xiao's expectations, this individual with strong vitality was actually hiding in Shangguan Zhenyuan's tent, and the noisy shouting outside seemed to have nothing to do with her.
"This familiar energy fluctuation ......"
Lu Xiao's eyes flashed with suspicion: "Shan Xiaoxiao? Why is she here? ”
Shan Xiaoxiao is one of Dugu Ningke's most valued personal maids, and she will not leave her easily.
Although it has not been specifically confirmed, before meeting Zhang Lie and Chen Jingqiu, this social expert in Daxing City should still be active in the city.
It's almost impossible to get there in advance, and a small action pattern has a very strong sense of purpose.
'My whereabouts exposed?' Why? ’
"Drink!"
The soldiers who gathered around shouted in unison, the shield soldiers formed a formation in tacit understanding at the front, and the pikemen stabbed their weapons from the gap in the shields, trying to rely on the number of people and the formation to suppress Lu Xiao's activity space.
"Boom!"
In an instant, he pulled out the undead slash behind his back, and the snow-bright sword light of the sword slashed across the night sky, and the pikemen who dared to attack lost their weapons, and a large number of spears were cut into two pieces from the center.
Lu Xiao's heart moved, and a large amount of water vapor suddenly gathered in the sky above the Gobi where the moon and stars were sparse, and a torrential rain fell almost in the blink of an eye, and the dark clouds were mixed with lightning and thunder.
"Hide and don't show up, huh?"
Raising his left hand to the sky, under Shangguan Zhenyuan's surprised gaze, thick thunderbolts fell from the sky, blowing up the Sui army surrounding Lu Xiao.
"Boom!"
Lu Xiao did not kill these Sui soldiers who were ordered to act, but the thunder and lightning that slammed into Shangguan Zhenyuan's tent showed no mercy.
The entire night sky was lit up by this giant thunderbolt, as if the natural power that connected the heavens and the earth made the soldiers who fell to the ground look frightened, and subconsciously fell to the ground and moved their bodies, trying to stay away from this thunder that penetrated the sky and the earth.
"Get out! Pipa Essence! ”
