Chapter 16: Seeing the Yellow Spring at Night (5)
[5. Soul palpitations Jiangbei Snow (above)]
- The sixth year of Qianfu (879 AD)
"It's really slow," Du Chongxiao, who was leaping all the way up the branches of the tree and holding flowers in his mouth, looked at the rebels in Beihuan and sneered, "In this way, we can still catch Li Daoheng before they do? ”
"Maybe, but although Li Daoheng is seriously injured, his feet are very fast. Aunt Feng, who had not yet recovered, was riding in the car driven by Asuka and was not in good spirits to respond.
"Obviously I'm the fastest, but let Ju Mang chase after me, of course it's troublesome," Chongxiao complained, "You can't die, what kind of guards do you need, squeamish." ”
"Shut up, if you were another god, you should have gone to the underworld a long time ago!" Aunt Feng glared at him, but she didn't pursue it.
As they expected, due to the humid and hot climate on the surface of the ridge, the Huang Chao army suffered a large number of deaths from the miasma plague from spring to summer, and the generals "persuaded them to return to the north for great gain." Seeing the low morale, the Yellow Nest, who "wants to occupy the land of the South China Sea and be a nest forever", finally decided to return to the north. They weaved rafts in Guizhou, and they had to go down the Xiangjiang River, enter Jiangling, and go north to Xiangyang.
"If they go down the river, the speed will be faster," sucking up the nectar, Chongxiao replaced it with a flower to suck, "Over there in Tanzhou, Wang Zhen should be ready......
—
——Tanzhou (now Changsha City)
The magic turned into red-colored dust and flew down, and one of the generals of the Divine Army, Phoenix Emperor You Wangyue, looked at the Tang Ting army guarding Tanzhou, hoping that his ability to stabilize the creatures would calm them down.
Tang Ting learned that Huangchao would go north, and sent Prime Minister Wang Duo to recruit the capital for the southern camp, and stationed troops in Jiangling, and appointed Li as the deputy commander of the camp and the Hunan observer, and commanded 100,000 troops to be stationed in Tanzhou to "use the road north of the Lingling to reject Huangchao". At this time, the peasant army had already captured Yongzhou (now Lingling, Hunan) and Hengzhou (now Hengyang, Hunan), and a big war was imminent.
"General, Ji Chongming sent a message, saying that there is movement in the shade of Zhichun. The girl from the Western Regions dressed in a dark robe with a golden algae pattern was neither humble nor arrogant, and reported solemnly with dark blue eyes.
"Yes, then please go and inform Wang Zhen and the others to get ready, and lure the enemy into battle tonight, Moss Ji. Mochizuki smiled at her.
"Understood. Moss nodded.
"Are you ready?"
"You can go to war at any time, general, don't worry. Moss immediately bowed her head.
After bowing his head to her and looking down at the defenders who were nervous and fearful, Mochizuki sighed lightly: "We must win ......"
—
The smoke is in all directions, and the twilight is settled. The defenders of Tanzhou, who were about to fight with the rebels, closed the city, and the whole city was in a state of panic in the cold twilight.
Darkness gradually engulfed the outlines of distant mountains and meadows, and also swallowed up the castle towers. On the high trees on the cold slope, the nine-headed big bird like a owl stood in the shadow, and the eighteen dark chestnut eyes looked coldly at the green river and the dark city—
This is the Dark Empire that belongs to the Ghost Car Bird!
At this time, the slightly young ghost car bird jumped next to the big bird. "Are you afraid, Yao Ying?" the ghost car of the self-cultivation Hua Yu asked calmly, holding the young ghost car with wide wings, and his voice was calm and soft, "Don't be afraid, there is my army in the city, even if the gods themselves conquer, they may not be able to defeat me." ”
"The vitality of the people in Lingnan has been greatly damaged, and Senior Brother Chongming and Senior Sister Lihua have lost contact again, it's really not good! Mother, don't be anxious, we can wait for Sister Shenxue and Shengjun to ......"
"Chongming...... Regardless of his situation, Rou Mei and Sheng are dealing with He Yanfang, and it is difficult for them to distract themselves to assist me and Li Qing...... It's cold and cold, and it's really not good if you let Sheng fall ill - if you can, you should solve the problem yourself, so that they don't have to work. Although he was worried, Zhi Chunyin still had a resolute look in his eyes, "Our clan can make the souls of all people palpitate, and we will be with the darkness for eternity......"
As if ironic, at this time, the yellow light suddenly lit up inside and outside the city of Tanzhou! Zhi Chunyin, who had just finished speaking, paused, and then sneered: "Is this what the divine army's secret order to 'raise candles' refers to......?"
The flickering light was not the people's lamp, but—
The glowing grass branches that can see the ghosts grow rapidly, and the city of Tanzhou is shaking in the cold wind, and the evil aura is suddenly dispersed!
"Did you also use the goddess curtain......" The eighteen-eyed cold star of Zhichun Yin flickered and was about to burn, and the giant body and wings shook suddenly, "Where is my disciple!"
In response to her fierce call, the wind slashed, the slope forest was shaken, and thousands of ghost cars and birds flew up!
"Capture the soul and leave nothing alive!" the cold voice of the tree pierced through the cold night, and in the cold and sharp response of the birds, she flapped her wings into the air, leading the scream that pierced the bone marrow to reverberate the city, causing the soul fire to float out of the streets and alleys of the house and converge directly to the birds!
He is the phoenix at the head of all birds, even if he is as fierce as a ghost car, he can't look directly at the red flame and the precious feathers!
"If you are unkind and unjust, do you dare to have a life span like 8,000 years old for a spring!"
"If the world is clear, why should you worry about the growth of evil spirits! Why don't you reflect on how you govern Kyushu!" The chestnut eyes that face the brilliance are not afraid, and the smile of the tree is solemn and cold.
In the flames and sword light, the shawl woven by the gray feathers and the twelve torn fairy skirts stretched and fluttered, making the body of Zhi Chunyin slender and beautiful. But the "shadow of the soul palpitation" is not a false name, the steel fork in her hand dances heroically, and all the red-colored fire bullets are smashed into sparks like fireflies! Mochizuki raised his sword to block, and his arm was numb by her strength! He looked at Zhi Chunyin's pale and beautiful face in amazement, but he didn't expect such a graceful woman to be as fierce as this! In the scattered sparks, the ghost cars swooped down again!
Zhi Chunyin sneered, and her lips flowed: "General You, you should go to Jiangling, it must be better to meet Rou Mei than to face an old woman like me, right?"
"Needless to say!" The topic of Miyuki is Mochizuki's pain, and his anger turns into red-colored fire that illuminates the night sky!
Still disgusted by the dazzling light, Zhi Chunyin reached out and gently brushed the dotted emerald cloisonné gold hairpin on the bun, so that the pure cyan turned into a light mist to envelop herself - slightly similar to the goddess curtain, the alien shield "Jing Pingchai" can turn into a mist to block the strong light, which makes her light-phobic like a tiger with wings.
"Madame Zhi, you should know very well that being in the air is the same as having no protection. Mochizuki sneered, and suddenly flapped his wings and flew high into the air, "Pray for the blessings of your people!"
The red light that burst out in a piece of soft gold burned the sky in an instant, and countless flints flew in, like a rain of meteorites pouring down on the army of ghost cars! It was the flying stone formation and the fire technique that formed such a dangerous onslaught, and the ghost cars that reacted a little slower in the flock of birds had been shot down and killed, and those that reacted quickly were like planting chunyin straight into the clouds, and were gradually forced to the edge of the Xiangjiang River, where the river was surging!
However, when it comes to the Xiangjiang River, it is the realm of ghost cars, the dark flowing river is like an expanding black vein, and the endless darkness erodes the light, whether it is the cave grass or the flint array, they all turn into scattered weak light like a snake here. In this darkness, they all swirled and fell, and the ghost cars that had regained their momentum flapped their wings and roared!
But under the gaze of Uetsuki shade, Mochizuki smiled, and his voice resounded with Mizuzawa-
"Hold up the candle!"
"It's now—" Under the horrified gaze of Zhi Chunyin, the golden light lit up in the heart of the river like a lit candle! A small cluster of bright golden light gradually gathered like golden fireflies, spreading over the water waves, shining dazzlingly!
“...... (Note 1) "Looking down in horror at the girl from the Western Regions who was curling out of the waves, Zhi Chunyin felt bad.
The skirt fluttered, and the golden light on it flashed like a jewel, and the girl from the Western Regions, the vine gold moss "Moss Ji", looked awe-inspiring, and the water and light rippled like broken gold at the touch of her feet. With her rapid dance, the fire-like golden moss spreads and flickers on the Hunan water, and the light flows and swaggers, a river of dreams!
The dark realm was suddenly dispersed by golden light, and the army of ghost cars that was caught off guard was dizzy again! Uetsuki shook Mochizuki with a fork in anger, and directly threw a steel fork at the dancing Moss Ji with the strange power of the demon!
But in just an instant, the surging waters of Hunan were already surging! In the bright golden monstrous waves, black shadows burst out, and something shaped like a giant sickle had already pierced several ghost cars with the force of piercing through the mountains and cracking stones, hooking them into the water!
"Hooked snake - Yuan Feilang, this brute slave!" Seeing the hidden enemy clearly in an instant, Zhi Chunyin immediately bit his lip and flew up, "You guys have a good game!"
"More than that!" Like a chaotic black dragon, a hideous giant snake with blue-black body armor as hard as iron burst out of the tumbling frenzy! Spit out a long snake letter, "Terrifying Waves and Sickles" Yuan Feilang let out a wind-like roar! His black, iron-colored, slightly poisonous red tail hook shook the waves, throwing back the steel fork of Zhi Chunyin and several ghost cars!
Seeing the steel fork smashing the reef and the people also falling to the ground with blood, Zhi Chunyin's eyes were furious-she was also the eighteen kings of Kyushu, how could she allow herself to lose to Yuan Feilang!
Her faint, glamorous lip gloss outlined an angry sneer...... Knowing the power of her "funeral poem", Yuan Feilang and Mochizuki both tried their best to hear the verses she chanted in the storm and waves-
"Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star. ”
“...... What?" What I listened nervously was Li Bai's "Chivalrous Journey", Mochizuki and Yuan Feilang were stunned - what suddenly appeared was a chivalrous phantom galloping on horseback, and there was no attack on them, but-
"The sea is dry and icy, and the clouds are bleak and condensed. (Note 2) "The moment the enemy thinks about it, he changes the verse, and Uetsuki takes advantage of the sudden transformation of the ice and snow to glide back to retrieve the steel fork, and knocks Mochizuki down into the river with one blow!"
"Sigh ......" Yuan Feilang protected Moss Ji, and then launched the secret technique "Water Coffin" that can turn magic power into water, stirring the wild waves of the sky and rushing straight up! The cold ice of a hundred zhang turned into a waterfall and poured down, and the laughing plant Chunyin circled and flew fast, and continued to pour out a life-threatening poem: "The Yellow River came to the west to break Kunlun, roaring thousands of miles to touch the Dragon Gate." The waves are surging, and Yao is groaning. Dayu is in charge of all rivers, and he doesn't peep at home. Killing the turbulent flood, Kyushu began silkworm hemp. The harm is gone, and the wind and sand are dazed!" (Note 3)"
With the power of Yuan Feilang, he rushed into everything with angry waves, and the monstrous torrent pushed and pressed, and Yuan Feilang, who manipulated the water, was also so frightened that he couldn't speak!
The "Funeral Poem" can embody the poems, and they are flexible and changeable due to the change of the verses, which is extremely tricky! This is the capital of Zhi Chunyin who dares to face the divine army alone. Her steel fork once again knocked the Divine Army warrior into the river, and her eyes burned in the blood and soul fire: "Give me the underworld!"
"Wang Zhen!" Under the rush of the flood, Yuan Feilang hissed and shouted!
"What-" Under the terrifying look back of Zhichun Yin, the "Thunder Crash" of Wang Zhen, the "Divine Power Shaker Hand," had already fallen with a bang! The scorching brilliance stained the entire night sky and the surging rivers, bursting into a thunder that made the gods and demons tremble! What a violent electric light it was! The incandescent that split the sky and water directly annihilated the Zhichun Yin!
"Finally one step faster than the mouth chanting the 'funeral poem'......" Rescuing Mochizuki from the waves, Yuan Feilang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the chaotic woods with relief.
"Did you succeed......" Hiding in the chaotic woods by the river, temporarily losing his strength due to the concentration of energy and thunder, Wang Zhen gasped and struggled to confirm the battle situation.
"Ah, I thought that the last time my brother was killed, it would make you collapse, but it seems that you have recovered, Wang Jun. The woman's coquettish voice suddenly came from the splashing mist, which made Wang Zhen's face change in shock-
“...... "When he saw the peach-colored figure that walked out of the mist like a waterfall, he couldn't help but be stunned.
But even if he was simple and careless, he noticed that that kind of coquettish and wicked posture could not be Yu Xuan! He immediately reprimanded: "Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Bai Ze!"
"I'm just here to watch the battle, thinking that if Mrs. Zhi has the upper hand, I'll help you......" Covering his mouth and chuckling, Yu Xuan's eyes were cold, "Correspondingly, if you have the upper hand, I'll assist Mrs. Zhi......"
"What's going on!" Yuan Feilang, who noticed the abnormality, rushed over.
"Run!" Wang Zhen exclaimed in a shudder, "This is not—"
But the red glow had already burst open, and the mercury chain tied Yuan Feilang up!
"It's not too easy to win......" With a bloodthirsty smile on his face, "Yu Xuan" shook his hand and smashed Yuan Feilang's huge snake body into the pile of rocks, smashing the dust and mist and splashing!
"This is—who ......" Knowing that she was invincible, Moss Ji, who had no ability to attack, hesitated and trembled on the waves. Behind her, huge charred bird remains flowed down the blood.
"This way you will escape this battle......" Looking up at the remnants of the ghost car chasing the birds, Yu Xuan smiled meaningfully, "Thank me, Mrs. Zhi......"
Just as she appeared silently, she silently dissipated in the vapor, and only the flood of shining golden light ignored everything and rolled down with flesh and blood.

Preview: The soaring Hunan water swept down the corpses of the soldiers——
Even the Huangchao rebel army in Yongzhou and Hengzhou soon arrived at the city of Tanzhou on a raft, even if the deputy commander of the camp and the Hunan observer Li closed the city gate, the Huangchao who waved his troops to fight still captured Tanzhou in one day, and the Tang army of 100,000 people stained the Xiangjiang River with blood.
In the dark red tide, the red carriage sped ashore. Seeing this, the two women who were already waiting by the river hurried forward.
The "red paint" on the carriage immediately turned into countless red birds and flew up, and then gathered into a young girl in red, panting and saluting: "Shenxue Niangniang, Mrs. Zhi......"
"I'm sorry for you, Rakshasa. Zhi Chunyin, who was wrapped all over her body, responded softly and hoarsely and weakly, "How is Li Qing?"
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Li Zhengyin's thin face was tired: "Madam, Niangniang...... Adults are in fine condition, just very tired......"
"Arrange for a medical officer right away. Shen Xuerou looked at the remains of the Tang soldiers who were constantly washed down, "I finally used the rebel army as a cover...... But Tanzhou was also captured by the Divine Army. ”
"I'm glad I survived......" Zhi Chunyin sighed, "What is the purpose of that thing that pretends to be Bai Ze......
"Anyway, tell Sheng first," beckoned a bird demon casually, Shen Xuerou leaned on the carriage and began to write, "Next, you must always be vigilant, Sheng's body is weak, and you should beware of ......"

"They met smoothly and are now resting. Sitting in the demon car, Petra finished reading the letter and looked at the absent-minded Sheng, "What's the matter?
"I'm not that weak. The tone was full of displeasure, and Sheng stroked the feathers of the bird demon who turned into a white dove, and his expression was still distant and unpredictable.
"I've worked hard, tell my seniors, I'm not going to be there soon, pay attention to precautions. After a while, Sheng gently lifted the pigeon to the curtain, and the pigeon, which he had been amused so happily, reluctantly spread its wings and flew away.
"Isn't it too suspicious that you've even been on guard lately?" Petra asked suspiciously, looking at Sheng, who was signaling him to come over after confirming that the harpye had flown away.
"Because it's not good," Sheng motioned for him to come closer, "there's something very important, and I can only tell you ......."
I felt inexplicable, but Petra leaned over anyway: "What......"
"About what the seniors said about Bai Ze......" slowed his tone, and Sheng whispered softly in his ear, "And mercury - I have a lot to ask you, little one!"
Suddenly reaching out behind him and grabbing something as fast as lightning flashing, Sheng's shallow smile turned into a brutal sneer: "What is this......"
Startled, Petra looked at the little thing he was clutching and screaming: "...... fairy?”
"What is it?" he brought the captive in front of him, his moon-like pupils radiating the magic of a prisoner's soul. He was caught by a small goblin with a transparent body color, but the size of a butterfly, with butterfly wings and tentacles, and a faint purple glow. She looked at him with an innocent look of horror, and kept struggling.
"Didn't you ask me why I haven't been sleeping well lately, and it's because of this girl," he said, smiling at the little captive, and then looking at Petra, "Is this the demon of the white world?"
"Water and Dark Power...... It's a goblin of the Gensera. Petra leaned in to observe the leprechaun, which caused her to scream again.
"Isn't it your mother who sent you to spy on you......" Sheng concentrated on soothing and teasing the little goblin who was trembling with fear, "Do you know their language?"
"No, it won't. Petra shook her head, and watched in amazement as the leprechaun fell silent under Sheng's smile.
"Is that right...... Sheng stared at the little goblin who was gradually deflated and tamed, "If only she could tell me anything about that fake Shimo-Shirasawa...... But what do you seem to have in mind?"
Petra lowered her head, her blue eyes full of fear: "Controlling mercury is a universal ability of the high-level demons of the Xuan World...... She should also be an envoy of the Xuan World Demon Clan. ”
Sheng looked at him, then leaned back and laughed briskly, "Really...... We're going to have to settle this matter anyway, right? After all, it's a demon race from another world......"
Petra did not respond. Even if he didn't look at it, he knew that under Yun Qingfeng's smile, there was no trace of a smile in Sheng's eyes.
"Lord Governor, what's wrong?" the demon car Ning Ye made a sound, which made the whole car tremble.
"It's okay, let's keep walking," Sheng let the little goblin who didn't dare to escape fly aside, and he sat up straight, showing the awe-inspiring momentum of the evil demon king with an expressionless face, "Rush to Gangneung as soon as possible." ”
"Yes!" the demon car sped under his gaze, all the way to the front of the fierce enemy watching.

(Note 1) Cranberry moss: During the Jin Dynasty, neighboring countries presented a kind of bryophyte called Cranberry Moss to the palace. Its color is like gold, like countless glowing fireflies gathered together, and its body is like an egg. If you throw it into the water, it spreads over the waves and the light it emits is dazzling. Therefore, it is also called "noctilucent moss". See Tang Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Miscellaneous".
