Chapter 222: Guarding the Heart (4)
The Heavenly Arrow Array is an anti-heaven magic circle left over from a long time ago, dating back to the human world, when the cultivation of techniques was just emerging.
Some people say that this is a formation left by the gods, after all, in that era when magic had just appeared, there should be no amazing predecessor who could think of such a formation so advanced.
In short, it is to use the human spirit as a guide to summon powerful monsters and even gods as their own shikigami, but this shikigami is naturally temporary.
Few monsters are willing to become human gods, let alone gods, and the spirit beasts summoned by the Heavenly Arrow Array often have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, no matter how advanced the cultivation of the warlock, they can't control it, and it is very likely that the summoned spirit beast is too powerful, and it will eat the caster's body, and the spirit of the body will be torn apart in an instant, almost gone.
Although I will use this kind of magic circle, I have never used it before, and I still expect its power and the possible consequences for me, Lin Suwen's worries are not unreasonable.
But that's the only way to do it now.
However, I just told him that I was sure that I would be able to live, not to deceive him, but to think of a spirit beast that was very suitable for summoning, and in its current state, it should not hurt me and make my soul fly.
Since ancient times, the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven has been regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness, and can be used as something similar to an enchantment to protect the subjects from the invasion of monsters.
In fact, this is related to that kind of divine beast.
This kind of divine beast, let's call it a dragon, after all, no one has ever seen its appearance, it lies dormant in every corner of the world, but most of the time, it is sleeping underground in the imperial city of a country.
In rumors, it is related to the imperial throne, and in operas, the emperor is often regarded as the incarnation of the dragon, and many people like to associate themselves with the dragon before sitting on the throne, and even, there was an emperor in ancient times, who coincidentally cut a small white snake, and they dared to boast that they were the true dragon son of heaven, and the destiny of heaven returned, but it was not like that.
It does have some kind of relationship with the emperor, but it is not bound to a certain person, it is more like the throne, the throne is there, whoever has the ability to get it, who is its master, but the change of government, no one can sit in that position forever.
And the person sitting on the throne, if he can't implement benevolent government, or even a cruel and unkind lord, the divine beast of that period will decline in spiritual power, if next, meet a virtuous and benevolent, deeply supported and loved monarch by the people, the power of the divine beast will gradually increase, so, the divine beast in my understanding should be a kind of faith, a kind of power that the people want.
The gods of ancient times, are born because of faith, the common people for the monarch, itself is a kind of faith, if the monarch is incompetent, cruel to the people, lose the hearts of the people, will naturally cause political turmoil, a monarch cares about the suffering of the people, regard the people as heirs, you can get the hearts of the people, naturally can be the country and the people, the river Qinghai Yan.
Therefore, in Shengjing City, there is already a powerful guardian spirit, but no one has awakened it.
Moreover, because Xiao Tan was seriously ill and his life was in danger, coupled with years of tyranny, he had already lost the hearts of the people, and the divine beast at this time should be the weakest time for his spiritual power.
Now summon it, the least backlash against me, if Lin Suwen and I cooperate tacitly, not only can I solve the danger in front of me, but I can also escape from death without being injured by the divine beast.
"My lord, why don't you think of another way?"
Listening to Lin Suwen, this kind of formation is very likely to make my soul scattered, and my colleagues in the Red Wen Pavilion are a little scared.
They are all hesitating whether this method is feasible or not.
I said, "It's okay, as long as you cooperate with me in performing the spell, plus Lin Suwen, it's fine." ”
Hearing this, they looked at each other, as if they didn't understand what this matter had to do with Lin Suwen.
I said: "The Heavenly Arrow Array, the reason why it is possible to counter the person who casts the spell is because its power is too huge, and it is difficult to distinguish which ones are the demons and which are the masters of the spells, if the monsters are allowed to enter the city, and the closer they are to the formation, it will disturb the power of the Heavenly Arrow Array, and the spiritual power of the Shishen will be drawn to the caster's body, so as long as we cast the spell, Lin Suwen blocked the monsters in the North Mountain, and the power to eat back on me was almost zero, of course, the number of monsters is huge, and it is impossible to completely block it, But it's okay to stop most of them. ”
"I see."
Qi Huanzhi bowed his hand to me again: "I should do my best, even if I fight for my life, I will protect the safety of adults." ”
I smiled and said, "You only need to assist me and activate the formation of the Heavenly Arrow Array." ”
At this time, Liu Bozhou hurried over, he was with his senior brother just now, and now that he is back, he must have evacuated the people in the city.
I asked him, "Have all the people in the city been evacuated safely?" ”
Although it was winter, Liu Bozhou was so tired that he was sweating profusely, raised his sleeve and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said to me: "After the withdrawal, the Fahua Temple is not big enough, so we will place them around the temple, where they can also be protected by the enchantment, rest assured." ”
"What about my brother, can he also retreat to a safe place?"
Liu Bozhou replied to me: "Master Fu Xiao has already led the people of the Praetorian Guard to Fahua Temple, and before leaving, he asked the subordinate officials to come to the Lord and let you evacuate as soon as possible." ”
Knowing that my senior brother was safe, my heart relaxed for the rest of my heart, and said: "Wait for the formation to start for a while, you also leave as soon as possible, Shengjing suddenly changed, the people don't know what happened, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos, you rush to Fahua Temple to assist my senior brother to pacify the subjects and maintain order." ”
"W-What formation?"
Liu Bozhou was not here just now, and his mind was stunned for a moment when he heard what formation I said.
I asked him, "Does Lord Liu know about the Heavenly Arrow Array?" ”
Liu Bozhou nodded, and I said, "That's good." ”
Holding the jade flute, walked to the middle city of Shengjing, where there was once built a Bihai Chaosheng Pavilion, because of the last disaster turmoil, the Bihai Chaosheng Pavilion collapsed, someone suggested that the Bihai Chaosheng Pavilion is the symbol of Shengjing's building, it is a pity to fall overnight, and want the imperial court to fund the construction of another one, but was rejected by Xiao Zhuo.
Bihai Chaosheng Pavilion, was built by the emperor of the previous dynasty in order to show his merits, labored the people and lost money, and made the heavens angry and resentful, now Shengliang is in an eventful autumn, coupled with the flood in Qindi not long ago, he can't take out so much money to get this kind of superficial effort.
However, since the last time the Bihai Chaosheng Pavilion was uprooted and turned into a monster, there was only a bare foundation left, and the location in the middle city was not good-looking, so Xiao Zhuo issued an order to let people build a site there for the common people to use for business.
The Celestial Arrow Array was required to be located in the center of the Imperial City, and it had to be flat and free of obstacles, which was now useful.
On the huge circular field, there were thousands of charms, and I stood in the center with a jade flute and ordered: "Array! ”
Hearing this, the colleagues of the Hongwen Pavilion stood in accordance with the direction of the five elements of the gossip, and recited the mantra in a low voice with me, and with the start of the formation, the wind began to blow around again, I picked up the jade flute, stood in the center of the circle, and played the "Seeking Spirit" that summoned the gods.
A pale gold magic circle rose under my feet, and under the urging of the spell, it swirled and flowed like light and shadow, and I could feel that the land under my feet hid a divine beast with huge spiritual power, its body was enough to carry the sun and the moon, and its claws were enough to trample on the mountains and rivers.
What's more, through spiritual sense, you can see its eyes like amber under the dark and cold scales.
It was a kind of power that destroyed the world, and even, looking at those eyes, I subconsciously wanted to bow down.
Sheng Jing's current situation, it knows, but it doesn't want to come out, too, a divine beast that has lived for thousands of years, how many killing scenes it has experienced, everything in front of it, for it, is just a drop in the ocean, the disasters and sufferings of the people, the replacement of the imperial court, in its eyes, is just a long time, a light from light to dark, and will eventually return to bright light and shadow.
Even, there is some angry resistance to my calling.
The enchantment lost the support of our spells, one after another shattered, in the sky, the milky white light also dimmed, countless monsters broke through the blockade, poured into the city, black clouds overwhelmed the city, the smell of blood came to the face, and when you opened your eyes and closed your eyes, you could still hear the frantic screams of those monsters.
"Ghosts and ghosts, a hundred ghosts walk at night......"
Qi Huanzhi, who was beside him, looked at the scene in front of him, his face turned pale, and he muttered.
"My lord, we don't have a chance......"
As a warlock, there is no one who is not afraid of the nocturnal walking of a hundred ghosts.
As a warlock, it is a great shame to let the court under his protection have a hundred ghosts walking at night.
"It's useless, we'll be sinners through the ages......"
Seeing the monsters pouring into the city like a tide, and even some people hid their faces and wept, no one is not afraid of death, but what is more terrible than death is the loss of reputation as a warlock.
I frowned, stared at the broken barrier and was silent for a moment, and at a glance I saw a sword falling on the ground not far away, and as soon as I stretched out my hand, the sword fell into my hand, and the horizontal sword cut through the palm of my hand, and wiped a handful of blood on the jade flute, giving up "Seeking Spirits", and replacing it with a song to purify monsters.
The sound of the jade flute sounded, coupled with the blessing of the warlock's blood, the power of purification instantly became several times stronger, and with Zhongcheng as the center, a pale golden enchantment was formed and expanded outward.
The wind danced, their clothes and long hair flew flying, and the monsters were caught off guard, crashing into the barrier, letting out a terrible scream, and being purified and disappeared in an instant.
Behind him, there were one wail after another: "It's useless, Shengjing is finished, Shengjing is finished......"
