Chapter 42: The Black Talisman
The cavalryman knew very well that this arrow was powerful, and that it was not easy to shoot the flagpole in this dark night, so he picked up the flag and turned his horse back into the formation.
At this time, the four women walked out of the black tent, they had taken off their armor, each holding a whisk and a stack of black paper, the body jumped lightly and floated to the side of the cavalry, the black paper in their hands one by one pasted on the armor of the soldiers, the black note on the pawn flashed red runes, and soon disappeared, Ma Xiao looked at it in amazement, the note looked like the ghost drawing charm used by the village goddess to exorcise evil spirits, I remember that when I was a child, the neighbor's little brother was sick for a long time and could not get better, the village goddess lit such a ghost painting charm and slapped it on the little brother, not long after the village came to a foot doctor, and used a set of acupuncture and moxibustion The little brother was sick, I don't know if it was acupuncture that saved the little brother or the charm of the goddess that saved the little brother.
This is the first time he has seen a talisman for soldiers on the battlefield, but seeing the flashing red rune Ma Xiao felt that this talisman should be useful, and soon all the cavalry were pasted with black paper talismans, and the four young women were about to float back to the tent with a tower carriage, Ma Xiao saw that there were still remaining black talismans in a woman's hand, and quickly shouted on the ground, "And me, and me" The woman only glanced down with contempt and skipped him, and when the four of them returned to the tent, they set up a posture around the edge of the black tent, as if they were protecting the woman in the tent.
Ma Xiao didn't feel very good in his heart, how could he have experienced several battles, he should be regarded as a qualified soldier, he was actually looked down upon by these people, remembering that when he was in the village, he was often bullied by a few girls who were a few years older than him in the village, and suddenly he was stubborn, and there were seven or eight miscellaneous servants hidden under the carriage, and he saw that Ma Xiao was stupid to let people post talismans, and quickly shouted, "Little doll, hurry up and hide under the carriage, your small body is not enough for people to fight tooth sacrifices, don't do it"
"Hmph, master, I'm a man, how can I bend my knees under the carriage to survive" Ma Xiao's voice was very loud, deliberately wanting the women on the edge of the tent to hear, the women all smiled slightly, at this moment a wave of arrows crossed the sky like a fire meteor, and soon flew to the camp, Ma Xiao saw countless rockets flying, if the hard connection was not beaten into a sieve, where was there any heroism, a short body rolled into the carriage, just hid and saw the fire arrows densely shot into the camp, jingling and hitting the shields and armor of the Peijun cavalry, the soldiers did not dodge, they suddenly flashed a slight yellow light, the arrow hit the yellow light or slid out of the side, completely unable to hurt people, The military formation just retreated slightly to stabilize the formation, Ma Xiao saw the effect of the black paper talisman at this time, the war horse under the crotch of the cavalry was draped with the same canvas as the carriage, and the fire arrow hit the horse and the carriage and bounced away, this canvas is actually made of special materials, today is really an eye-opener, if it is on the battlefield in the future, the soldiers are all pasted with such black symbols, clothed with such cloth, it is not a hundred battles.
But those bounced and slid out of the fire arrows flying everywhere, hiding under the carriage of the handymen were killed, Ma Xiao was fine, one hand holding a shield and the other hand holding a dagger, constantly pushing away the arrows that shot at him, the other few people were not so easy, holding the pot lid plank, clumsily dodging and blocking, finally couldn't support it, was shot in the body, the body immediately ignited a fire, Ma Xiao wanted to come forward to help but was too busy to take care of himself, seven or eight fire men howled and ran around in the camp, and after a while they were shot to the ground by the arrows from later.
The fire arrows in the sky seem to be flying endlessly, if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not last long, and it will end up like those handymen in a while, Ma Xiao struggled to block the flowing arrows while looking at the black tent in the center of the camp, the four women flew up and down with dust in their hands, and their hands were extremely vigorous, easily separated from the flying arrows, and guarded the tent impenetrable, even if a few arrows were shot at the tent, they were also bounced off, and now it seems that the safest place in this camp is the black tent.
Seeing the endless arrows flying from all directions, Ma Xiao finally couldn't support it, quickly climbed out of the carriage, rolled continuously on the ground to the mouth of the tent, stretched out his hand to lift the tent, next to a woman saw the dust swept towards Ma Xiao, the speed was extremely fast, Ma Xiao flashed in a hurry, waved out the willow leaf dagger left by the old king, easily cut off the tail of the dust, opened the tent and got in, the woman was stunned when she saw that she was cut in the dust, she didn't expect this little ghost to have such a sharp soldier, but in the face of locust-like arrows, she couldn't care about much, she could only continue to resist。
And said that although Ma Xiao cut off the dust and rushed into the tent, but because of the delay just now, an arrow shot into his buttocks, he screamed in pain and threw himself forward, and actually threw himself into the arms of a person, and felt a warmth and softness in an instant, and a faint fragrance of herbs into his nose, which made him have an inexplicable impulse for the first time when he was young, but this impulse had not yet risen and the fire on his buttocks rose first, so frightened that he quickly got up, pulled out the arrow, and rolled on the ground to extinguish the fire on his body.
At this moment, a white whisk of dust swept in the air, a mist appeared out of thin air, the fire on Ma Xiao's body was instantly extinguished, and there was a sense of coolness enveloping the whole body, Ma Xiao, who was lying on the ground, looked up, a woman with a clear face sat in the middle of the tent, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a dignified and generous appearance, dressed in dark purple clothes, holding a whisk, looking at himself at the moment, Ma Xiao suddenly felt embarrassed, and quickly struggled to sit up, but in a hurry, he did the wound on his buttocks, grinning in pain, and could only carefully crawl to the edge of the tent, and turned around to say"Disturb my sister, I really can't help it, there are too many arrows outside, and those four sisters don't give me invulnerable paper talismans, so I can only run to you to hide, and when the fire flow is stopped, I will go out"
The woman in purple didn't speak, took out a blue and white vase from her sleeve, pulled out the stopper and poured it out, a pill the size of a grain of rice fell out, and the faint fragrance of medicine spread, the woman took the pill in her hand, stretched it forward, stared at Ma Xiao, Ma Xiao knew what it meant, quickly rubbed over, stretched out his hands to take it, the white jade-like palm turned down, and the pill fell on the pair of small hands full of calluses and spring injuries, Ma Xiao's face was red, and he quickly retracted his little hand, held the pill tightly in one hand and covered his pants that were burned by the fire with the other, and retreated to the corner embarrassedly, came to the edge of the tent, and quickly soaked the pill with water and drank it。
The fragrance of medicine is fragrant, after the entrance, a familiar warm current down the throat down the twelve-story building to the stomach, Ma Xiao's light flashed, quickly condensed his mind to try to control the warm medicinal power, and after several attempts, he actually succeeded, and then mobilized the medicinal power like mobilizing vitality and slowly followed the meridians of the Great Zhou Tian to the buttocks, The three injured places of the thigh and back converged, and after a while, the three wounds came from time to time with a sense of pinprick and tingling, and Ma Xiao knew that this was a sign that the medicinal power was working, and the wound was healing and reborn, and immediately followed the treatment method written in the old book, and mobilized the vitality on the Dan Yuan in the body to assist, and the speed of wound healing was really slightly accelerated, and a sense of accomplishment made Ma Xiao happy, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he was meditating and healing.
The woman in purple sitting in the middle of the tent continued to close her eyes and recuperate after giving the pill, ignoring Ma Xiao who was healing on the side, the sound of the arrows outside the tent was like rain hitting plantains, and after about a cup of tea, the arrows finally stopped, a heavy and low horn sounded, and the Chu soldiers on the periphery launched a charge, and the Pei troops around the camp also let out a "Roar! roar! At this time, a middle-aged man's voice penetrated the sound of the two armies fighting and reached the camp "Hahahaha, the fairy is a good means, worthy of being a great family, the pen is so big, so many talismans are not distressed" Ma Xiao was awakened by the sound outside, "family" and "talisman" heard these words, Ma Xiao looked at the woman in purple, only to see that her face was expressionless, and she was still sitting there with her eyes closed, as if she did not hear the sound outside.
"Why, could it be that the Shen family in the dignified underwater mountain is so timid and afraid, and they have to rely on mere mortals to shelter them, it really makes people laugh off their big teeth" The voice of the young man outside sounded again, hearing this, the woman in purple slowly opened her eyes, stretched out her hand, and out of nowhere came out a sword in her hand, and flew out of the tent together, Ma Xiao's injury was under control at this time, and he took off the javelin and came to the outside of the tent, only to see that the entire camp was covered with arrows, like thorn bushes, making people look at the scalp numb, the surrounding Pei army has been entangled with the Chu army, this Pei army of less than 100 people is actually abnormal, not only the other party's weapons can not break through the armor, even the strength is absolutely superior, several Chu soldiers around a Pei soldier is not an opponent。
The woman in purple stood at the top of the tent with a sword in her hand, the green silk fluttered in the wind, like a fairy, and the four women also changed the dust and took out the sword to stand on guard on the periphery, but the young man who spoke did not appear, listening to the voice just now, it should be nearby, yes, the head of the long beard Dao was also far away that day sent the sound to people's ears, this must be a spell that they can cast by people who have achieved cultivation, Ma Xiaoxin suddenly understood.
The battle between the two armies soon entered the white heat, more and more Chu troops poured up, even if the talisman was used, some soldiers of the Pei army began to be powerless, several Pei soldiers were forced to dismount by the Chu army, a tear off the black charm, the yellow light of the talisman no longer flashed, the people who fell were also killed by the rebels, there were constantly Pei soldiers falling from the horse, the battle circle gradually narrowed, Ma Xiao nervously held the weapon and waited for someone to rush into the camp.
At this moment, the purple-clothed girl standing at the top of the tent suddenly looked at the corner of the sky, as if she noticed something, held a sword in her left hand, pinched a trick with her right hand, and pointed sharply to the darkness of the sky, and out of nowhere flew out a black talisman, like a black swallow, and went straight to the direction of the purple-clothed woman's finger, Ma Xiao looked up in that direction, and there were three black shadows swooping down like big birds, and the black shadow in front saw the black talisman, turned over in the air and slowed down his figure, and then shouted and punched forward, like a firecracker, the black talisman exploded a red flame a few feet away from the figure, and a hot breath came to his face, Ma Xiaoonly felt that his hair and eyebrows were about to be burned, and quickly covered his face and crawled to the ground.
