Chapter 448: First Cloud
At first, the wildlings followed directly behind the group, but as we went deeper and deeper into the woods, the number of wildlings gathered around them, and now the sound of the bushes shaking could be heard at the back and to the right of the group.
The voice came one after another, and it was unsettling.
I stopped, turned back and looked at the shaking bushes, and in an area of hundreds of meters, the shrubs and weeds rose and fell like waves in the river, and the number of wild people following them was estimated to have reached hundreds.
Seeing that I stopped, the movement in the bushes suddenly became much smaller, and the wild people did not seem to want to just surround them, and lurked one by one, not intending to show their heads at all.
I frowned and said to Jin Xiangqian, "Where are we now?" ”
Jin Xiangqian immediately took out the map and glanced at it, but then shook his head: "Let's go too deep, are there any obvious landmarks nearby......
Before he could finish speaking, Li Huaishan quickly came over, stretched out his finger, and clicked twice on the map: "After leaving the valley, we have been walking in the northwest direction, and now ...... It should be in this position. ”
I looked at the place where his finger had finally landed, and on the contour topographic map, I could see that we had just stepped into a flat field, and ten miles to the northwest was a depression surrounded by mountains.
Among those mountains, the highest one is more than a thousand meters above sea level, and the shortest one is nearly 500 meters high, and these mountains form a large barrier, enclosing the depression in the middle, causing the depression to be blocked, and it has become a dead place where evil qi accumulates.
The savages were lying in ambush due south and east of us, leaving only a gap in the road to the northwest.
I immediately reacted that they were trying to drive us into the depression.
Li Huaishan also found the problem, and muttered to himself: "They want us to go into the depression." ”
No matter what kind of plan the savages do, that depression is absolutely not allowed to enter, it is estimated that there is not only a miasma in that place, I am afraid that there are also a large number of wild Gu, once inside, the wild people will block the entrance, blocking our retreat, when the time comes, there are Gu groups in front of the group and wild people after them, whether they can come out alive or not, it is difficult to say.
Taking advantage of the fact that the savages had no intention of attacking for the time being, I called Boss Wen and they discussed countermeasures.
Dantuo said that the number of savages who have besieged us now is at least hundreds, which is far beyond the population limit of the small group, in other words, what is staring at us now is the most troublesome large community, and most of the entire river circle is their sphere of influence, even if these savages behind them are driven away, the next road will not be too easy.
Boss Jiang's thoughts are similar to mine, and she also said that most wild Gu will appear in piles in places full of miasma, and once they are forced into a depression by wild people, it will be difficult to get out.
Boss Wen said that when he was fighting with the wild man just now, he had noticed something unusual. At that time, he had used the technique of controlling corpses, so that the savage who had been killed had become the combat power of our side, but when he cast the spell, he had felt an inexplicable resistance, and there seemed to be a strange Qi field in the savage's body, trying to prevent him from performing the spell normally.
A few of them just talked about these things that didn't hurt or itch, but they didn't want to come up with an idea, and when they finished speaking, they all turned their eyes to me, and threw the final decision to me.
Although they didn't say anything at that time, the look in their eyes all showed the same meaning: "What to do next, you have an idea." ”
To be honest, I'm not a person who likes to make decisions for others, mainly because I don't want to take on this responsibility, and now I feel like I'm being forced to go to Liangshan.
It wasn't until now that I knew how much pressure the second master usually had.
I clasped my hands together, pondered for a moment, and then asked Danto, "The savages on this side of the river circle should have their own beliefs, right?" ”
Dan Tuo was stunned for a moment, sighed and said, "Yo, I really haven't studied this matter, but since each community has its own totem, it should have faith, right?" ”
When he said this, there was a great deal of uncertainty in his words.
I think that these uncivilized savages probably don't have much scientific knowledge, maybe they are like the ancient Homo sapiens, every time there is a thunder from the sky, the sun and the moon eclipse, or when the flood erupts, because they can't explain the causes of these phenomena, most of the time, they will think that it is a sign of miracles.
It would be nice if there were Taoist people, and summoning a heavenly thunder would be enough to scare away the wild people lurking around.
Boss Wen is a descendant of the corpse chaser lineage, proficient in Chenzhou Mansion and Xiangxi witchcraft, but people in this vein have never known much about Taoism. Not to mention Boss Jiang and Dan Tuo, one Gu master and one head lowering master, the daily practice is too different from Taoism. Among all of them, I am the only one who doesn't know much about Boss Yu's inheritance, but seeing that he often uses all kinds of talismans, even if he is not a Taoist family, he should have a deep understanding of various Taoist techniques.
Thinking of this, I asked Boss Yu: "Boss Yu, are you a Taoist?" ”
Boss Yu nodded: "Sort of, what's wrong?" ”
"Do you know how to channel thunder?"
"Yes, but my cultivation is not good, and I can't summon the heavenly thunder, what do you want to do?"
He said this as if he didn't say it.
I sighed helplessly in my heart, and said to the people present, "We have to work together to arrange a great technique, not how powerful it is, as long as it can create momentum." ”
Boss Wen immediately understood what I meant: "Bluff, huh?" ”
I nodded, "That's pretty much it." ”
Then Boss Wen was a little difficult: "But the inheritances of several of us are different, and everyone's mental power can't fit together, if you want to arrange a spell reasonably, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
What he said, I also thought about it, so I didn't plan to use those spells handed down by the family, fortunately, in the past year after leaving home, I often carried Shiyangzhi and Luban books with me, for the various formations and spells in these two books, although most of them have not been practiced, but the process of casting the array, but almost all remembered.
In the Ten Oceans Chronicles, there is a kind of magic, called "Chuyun", this technique is when Zheng He passed through Siam, learned from a local witch, it is said that Zheng He once saw the great witch summon rain clouds in the dry season, and in the flood season by the same spell to make the heaven and earth clear, because this spell can control the direction of the clouds, Zheng He thought that the essence of the spell is to be able to control the shape of the rain clouds at will, so this nameless spell was named "Chu Yun Shu".
And this magic has an advantage, that is, only with the help of heaven and earth Lingyun can be completed, the dependence on mental power is very low, it just so happens that the Savage Mountain is now in the rainy season, I wondered, if everyone can work together, jointly mobilize the spirit of the mountain, said that it can't be done.
In order to ensure that the techniques recorded in the Ten Oceans Chronicles will not leak out, I will only teach Boss Wen the first three steps of the Chuyun Technique, and the last step, which is also the most critical step when the technique is completed, will be completed by myself.
After listening to me fully explain the first three steps twice, Boss Wen and the others began to act.
Among the people present, in terms of telekinesis, Boss Wen and Boss Yu were the most refined, the two of them were the first to start the technique, and the two of them condensed a mouthful of telekinesis in the dantian at the same time, and let the telekinesis sink into the ground, as the two telekinesis spread rapidly along the earth's leylines, the spiritual rhyme in the mountains within a radius of thousands of meters was also mobilized, and began to gather towards our side.
Next, Boss Jiang and Dan Tuo also began to exert their strength, I don't understand the methods of the two of them, but I saw that Boss Jiang's long hair drilled out a lot of small insects the size of sesame seeds, and after flying into the air, they followed the trend of the mountain Lingyun, and slowly formed a circle, constantly circling above Boss Jiang's head.
Danto took out a straw man that had been tied in advance, and while chanting words, he put needles on the straw man.
Each family has its own different advantages, with the efforts of Boss Jiang and Dan Tuo, the speed of Lingyun gathering has accelerated sharply, and within a minute, a large amount of Lingyun is pressed on the grass and trees near my feet, with the soles of my feet as the center, the grass and trees within a radius of ten meters because they can't bear the huge volume of Lingyun, they all begin to swing non-stop.
When I looked at it, it was as if a whirlwind had risen around my body, blowing away the surrounding vegetation one by one.
When the spirit rhyme was almost accumulated, Li Huaishan took out the flying claw again and circled around me ten meters away, Li Huaishan's flying claw could hook the ghost that had no physical object, so I had speculated that this flying claw should also have an impact on other Qi fields and spirit rhyme other than yin qi.
It turned out that I was right, and when Li Huaishan was running around me, Lingyun, who had gathered nearby, was stirred by the flying claws and slowly circled.
At this time, I looked up at the sky, and I saw a new wind cave in the sky, located directly above my line of sight.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the first three steps of the First Cloud Technique have been completed, and next, I condensed a mouthful of telekinesis, took out three white candles from my backpack, first lit the wick with a lighter, and then gathered the telekinesis in my throat, and blew a long breath to blow the breath with telekinesis to the candle flame.
Unsurprisingly, the candle flame was blown out in an instant, and I lit the candles again and inserted them side by side directly under the wind cave.
Speaking of which, I can understand the first three steps of the First Cloud Technique, but this last step, I can't figure out what kind of ease of reason is contained in it.
The candle flame burned slowly, the wind cave in the long sky was still circling, and the spirit of the mountain slowly floated with the heat wave on the flames, and finally flew into the center of the wind cave and disappeared without a trace.
But the expected rain cloud did not appear for a long time.
Originally, I didn't think that a temporary spell like this could really successfully arrange the first cloud technique, but now seeing that the spirit rhyme around me is getting weaker and weaker, and the candles are burning shorter and shorter, I sighed helplessly in my heart: "It's no fun." ”
But just when the three candles were about to burn to the end, there was a rumbling sound in the sky.
It's thunder!
