readx;? Half an hour later, Aoyun put down the red pen, lifted the map on the table to dry, ran the exercises, and added a layer of protection to it, and then checked it with everyone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info map was scratched by the tongue, and Aoyun came with it, originally only marked with a few points of unknown meaning, and some unknown characters, but now they are clearly marked.

Indeed, the pirates came prepared. The shape of Beichuan City is approximately square, and there are two city gates, one south and one north, the east is the Linghai, and the west is the forest hill - Ling Xiaoxiao and his party came from the hundred decay forest in the north of the forest hill. More than 200 pirates landed from Linghai, led by Wulijing, and quickly captured two streets. At the same time, the large army of pirates quietly landed on the shore, outflanked in a roundabout way, and took advantage of the fact that the warriors in the city gathered in the southeast and were dragged by the vanguard team, quickly attacked the north and south gates, controlled the main roads in the west of the city, and then distributed troops, and also quickly attacked the houses in the city, looted food, killed people and set fires. The people in the city were caught off guard and had no power to fight back, and when they could react, Beichuan had been surrounded by iron buckets and had no way to survive.

According to Takema's account, several camps were marked on the map, which were previously stationed in the north and south gates and the Linghai Forest Hill, but now they have advanced some distance, and two teams have been stationed in the houses in the city in the south. There was still a handful on the seashore in the southeast, which, as Ling Xiaoxiao expected, were guarding the boats.

The routes of attack of the pirates on the map are clearly delineated, thick and thin, and the colors are different, and some of them are dated more than ten or twenty years ago. Everyone was shocked, Luo Jincheng, as a local, finally understood at this moment that for so many years, pirates have been committing crimes every year, in order to improve the map of Beichuan and prepare for the invasion!

"Whether the pirates want to swallow Beichuan this time is too early to say. Aoyun rubbed the map and said, "The result of the interrogation is that the pirates came to Beichuan to find something, and this thing seems to be in the city, and judging by their performance these days, they don't seem to know where the thing they are looking for, otherwise Beichuan has been broken at this moment." ”

The Heavenly King nodded, agreeing with what Aoyun said, and added: "The map is so detailed, they must have coveted Beichuan for a long time, and they didn't aim at it this time, probably something else induced this action." In addition, such a siege but not a break, it seems that they are waiting for reinforcements from the Heavenly Sect, could it be that what they are asking for is on the disciples of the Heavenly Sect?"

"No, it won't. How did they know who the disciples sent by the Heavenly Sect were? How could they be sure that what they wanted would be brought and not placed in the Heavenly Sect? And if this was the case, it would attract thousands of disciples of the Heavenly Sect, and this part of the price paid by Hesotin would be excessive. So, there is no such possibility. ”

The Heavenly King nodded heavily, noticing that Aoyun's fingers were twisting in the corner of the map, where was the Spirit Sea, and asked, "Senior, is there anything wrong here?"

Aoyun continued to rub it twice, allowing the Heavenly King to reach out and touch it, and said, "There is nothing wrong with the content. It's just that when I picked it up, it felt very slippery, and I saw that the handwriting on the picture was new and old, and I couldn't help but guess the material and age of this cloth. ”

The king pinched a corner and twisted it carefully, only to feel that his hand was cool and smooth, like a summer silkworm brocade, but it was more detailed, and this feeling was quite familiar, and he couldn't help but take it from Aoyun's hand with both hands and touch it carefully.

Due to his low seniority, Luo Jincheng didn't dare to touch it, and his curiosity couldn't be suppressed, so he asked Aoyun if he had found anything. Aoyun paused, and replied, "This is a human skin map, and it is at least a hundred years old. ”

Hearing this, the Heavenly King threw the map away with a shake of his hand, and wiped his hand vigorously in disgust. Luo Jincheng was also surprised on the side, and was surprised when he saw a thin piece of object flying towards him, and subconsciously caught it, and it was cool and delicate, it was a human skin map. Before he could react, the thing was pulled away again.

"At that time, the table was messy, and I only had this strange tactile map, and I took it back because I felt that it was useful. It is not surprising that Hesotin has some special behaviors due to its remote location, harsh environment, and vulgar folklore, but it is not known what the description of the map made of human skin is related to the invasion. Ao Yunzai carefully observed every inch of the human skin map, as if he could see some results.

Sunset, who was standing on the side, had been silently listening to their discussion, and at this moment suddenly spoke, "This human skin should be the back skin of the Black Soting Great Wizard. The Hesotins believe that the great wizard can communicate with the heavens, sacrifice the heavenly spirits with the blood of the great wizard, and make an oath with the skin of the great wizard, so that they can channel with the heavens, and be blessed by the heavens. Later, with the development of the times, this behavior gradually turned into an expression of the highest determination, which was used to show the people that the top management would do something at any cost. In other words, at least a hundred years ago, Hesotin set his sights on Beichuan, and no matter how many generations of manpower he had, he would get here. ”

All three of them gave them inquiring glances, and before they could ask, Sunset replied, "I have been there a few times a long time ago, and I was fortunate enough to witness a sacrifice.

"At the time of the sacrifice, the whole people bow down under the altar, and on the altar, a special person cuts off the skin on the back of the great wizard, and hands it over to the great wizard to wash it in the secret potion, and then picks up the blood flowing from the back of the great wizard, and dips it in it with a carving knife, and the same great wizard takes over, and carves an oath on the corner of the human skin, and the knife cannot pierce the skin, and the handwriting must be clear. Then the blood is put in the mouth and sprayed on the human skin, and the people under the altar are to chant a word, but I did not understand, and then the great wizard recites a mantra and swears to the heavens until the blood is exhausted, and then the people, both men and women, are to strip their clothes and burn them, and the ashes are scattered on the altar, and the ceremony is completed.

"Because the implementation of this method requires the sacrifice of a great wizard with extraordinary ability, and the great wizard has been rare in ancient times, this is not the case with major events. Sunset stroked the map, pinched a corner and showed them, and sure enough, there were a few columns of words they didn't recognize, and there was a delicate black powder in the handwriting, and several people were pale.

Luo Jincheng frowned, clutched his palm and said, "This map has such a high status, how can it appear in a vanguard command's room?"

Ao Yun observed very carefully, and speculated: "There is more than one kind of text on this map, and a small part of it appears at important nodes, it may be encrypted text, maybe only he can understand it, so the map can only be placed here for him." It is also possible that he is not only the vanguard commander, but also the commander-in-chief, and it is not surprising that the map appears in his room. ”

"Then why doesn't he live in the middle of the tent? ”

"Fiction is reality, reality is reality, fiction is reality, fiction and reality complement each other, making it difficult to distinguish. If there is a strong enemy who surprises, it will attack the center as you think, so it makes sense for him to avoid it in advance. As for strength, it's not that he's too weak, it's that Sunset Shadow is too strong. ”

"Not good!" said the Heavenly King in a deep voice, "If this map is really so important, then what measures will the pirates take tomorrow when they find out that something has happened to them? Retreat or attack?"
