Chapter 123: Seeking Food Again
After this large-scale "Tiangang Array" tossed, it seems that the Northern Army is also working hard and losing money, and greatly hurting its vitality. It's rare for Jinan City to be quiet.
However, the atmosphere was still depressing, and the ghosts in the city made trouble all night, and I don't know how many people were killed, and those were all grandmothers and brothers. It's just that in the past two months of the attack and defense of Jinan City, how many people have died, and I can't grieve anymore.
The funeral of Zixu Daoist was very grand, and about two-thirds of the people in Jinan City came out to see him off. This can be regarded as a well-deserved death, at least for the people of Jinan City.
Without food, firewood is useless. A two-story high firewood pile was piled up in the square, and Zixu changed into a clean Taoist robe, and he didn't know if it was freshly made, so he lay there.
The fire was naturally lit by dustlessness, and his tears had dried up. I still admire a young man with tears like that. It didn't take long for the flames to rise higher than the city walls. It burned for about half an hour before it slowly went out. When there was no more flames, the people gradually dispersed.
I looked at their expressions, a little frustrated, and a little unsatisfied. Perhaps the cruelty of war and the torment of facing death have made the people yearn for a little change, a little bit different.
Wuchen picked up his master's ashes from the still sparkling ruins and took a jar to put it up. If it weren't for the fact that I'm feeling depressed right now, I might still feel a little scary. Just like those people, if they have been depressed for a long time, they may no longer feel afraid. Isn't it just death, maybe it's still liberation.
"Brother Mu, thank you for taking care of me all the time. "In the end, there were only two people left in the square, me and Wuchen. I was embarrassed to leave him here alone, but I didn't expect him to thank me for this.
"That...... No. You've helped me a lot. "I'm a little embarrassed, I want to be able to laugh and laugh in the past, but the atmosphere is different now, "I also brought you to Jinan City, and caused your master to die a tragic death." Otherwise, you can't tell where the clouds and wild cranes are now. ”
"It was all fate. ”
Taoist priests are actually fatalists, and this is still the lovely thing about their kind Taoist priests. They don't blame others too much for their own lives and deaths, but regard them as God's arrangement.
"What are you going to do next?"
I look like this, Wuchen looks like he's going to part ways with me. Master's death was such a big thing, and it was so sudden, it was hard for him to withstand the blow at his age.
"When the master was leaving, he said, let me follow you, be your arm, and repay your favor. ”
I didn't expect this kind of thing, it was Zixu who let Wuchen stay by my side. This may have something to do with the fact that Zixu said that I was a dustless savior. He may just think that if his apprentice wants to get out of Jinan City alive, he can only rely on me.
Having said that, I don't even know if I can get out of Jinan City alive. This is what is currently in front of me, and Xia Rumei's soul has been sent out with those lonely souls and wild ghosts with a "blood curse", and no one knows where it is. I didn't have the heart to find it back, and Bai Qi disappeared with him, so no one would force me.
Lu Jia is still in Bao'er's body, and Zhang Lele can go to Xia Rumei's body to live temporarily. In this way, Lu Yuxiu will not have to suffer any more. I don't know how to go back from the Ming Dynasty to the modern age of the 21st century, and I don't want to be subject to Yi Kunlun and his gang anymore. Maybe there will be a way for Wuchen, and the Taoism of the Ming Dynasty is more sophisticated than the modern one. This kind of out-of-the-way thing is definitely getting worse and worse.
But in the end, I still can't tell Wuchen, and I can't tell him. Who would believe me if I came here 600 years later and want to go back now.
"Then you ......"
I wanted to ask him what to do with Zixu's ashes, but I didn't want to ask, so I shut up.
"Do you want to know where the soul of Twilight's wife has gone?" Wuchen said, "You desperately brought us to Jinan City, didn't you just save that woman?" ”
"You're trying to ask me what my relationship is with her?"
"Brother Mu, you're too worried, I don't want to know this. Wuchen hurriedly explained, "Xia Rumei's soul was sent outside the city by Master's 'Blood Curse' formation. As for where, I'm afraid no one knows. Don't worry, if you have the chance to go out of the city, I will help you find her soul. ”
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you save her or not. As long as the people who came to Jinan City with us are fine. ”
"That...... Brother Bai, he also ......"
"It's okay, you don't have to blame yourself, all this is done by Dao Yan's bald donkey. I'll make him look good if I have a chance. I smiled and said to him, "Tell me about your master's 'blood curse'." And also...... Sorry, forget about the inconvenience. ”
"I just wanted to tell you about this 'blood curse'. ”
Then we walked towards the prefect's yamen and said this "blood curse" formation.
Listening to the name, it is not a serious Taoist formation, even if the Yin and Yang Dao specializes in relying on the formation to make money and kill people, it will not be used.
From Wuchen's mouth, he knew that launching this "blood curse" formation was actually suicide. Because a person who knows the "Blood Curse" formation can only use it once in his life, and when he runs out, he will run out of blood and die.
It is rumored that the "Blood Curse" formation was discovered in the demon cave by the Dao Ancestor of unknown generation during an exorcism. The formation was carved into the wall, and he copied it down and studied it painstakingly for several years. When the research is understood, I regret that I shouldn't have learned this formation. Because this formation is too powerful, it must be urged by its own essence and blood, and it really has the power to destroy the world when it is launched. However, when the formation reaches the key point, it will suck out all the essence and blood of the caster, so that it can exert the greatest power.
Zixu only told Wuchen that there was such a formation, which was regarded as an evil formation by the Taoist court, and he resolutely refused to let future generations of disciples study it. Zixu didn't say whether he would be able to use this formation. It's just that a few days ago, Zixu showed it, and Wuchen knew that there was really this formation, and the master would do it.
As for this "blood spell", once it is cast, it can suck all the surrounding ghosts into its body, fuse with the essence and blood, and then release all the ghosts in an instant by self-detonation. Of course, absorbing souls and releasing souls is only one of the ways. In addition to the soul, it can also absorb the energy between heaven and earth. If you release it again, it's a bit like a bomb exploding. The more you suck, the more powerful the burst will be.
Zixu just sucked all the ghosts into his body and released them again. Those souls can't harm people, but they can hurt Dao Yan, the caster of the "Tiangang Array". So that day, Dao Yan was carried down the high platform by the soldiers.
Zixu used his life to save his precious apprentice and the people of the entire Jinan City.
"What formation were you using at that time to suck those ghosts from your seven orifices into your body?"
At that time, it was Zi Xuan who saw Wuchen luring ghosts into his body, so he panicked and used the "blood curse". That dustless formation can also absorb ghosts, so why use the "blood curse".
"I'm not a formation, it's the same as I sealed your friend's soul on Miss Bao'er's body. This time I just want to seal more ghosts in my body. ”
"This method is not feasible at all, first of all, my body's yang energy is too heavy, and there is no way to restrain so many ghosts, and secondly, even if I collect those souls, it won't take long, as long as the effect of the Dao talisman on the door passes, they will still come out to make trouble. And I will be drained of my body and will not be able to die well. ”
"Actually, your master has always cared about you. ”
"I know that he is usually very fierce to me...... By the way, Brother Mu, when Master was leaving, he also told me a way to find food. ”
"Huh?"
And this kind of thing? How do you find food? I know that those Taoist spells are all chattering, like what kind of five ghosts carry **ah, scatter beans into soldiers, and so on. But food is food, and what you have to eat in your stomach is not something that can be conjured out of thin air.
"Actually, I'm so stupid that I just want to attract rats to grab and eat meat. But I didn't expect that the food that was stolen by the rats, since that person has the ability to let the rats steal the food, I should have a way to get the rats to send all the food back. ”
It's a bit of nonsense, rats steal food, that's instinct. Twilight uses the rat's instincts, but it goes against their instincts to have the rats obediently send the food back. How could it be done.
"Don't believe it, you must know that the Tao is profound, and it follows the natural law of heaven and earth. This thing of exorcism and ghost control can be done, and there is a way to drive those beasts and beasts. ”
As soon as he talked about the subtlety of this method, Wuchen was fascinated by joy. For the time being, I forgot the grief of Master's passing away and discussed with me this method of finding food.
"I don't know if this method of finding food will be too troublesome. "I also have questions, "And the last time we made such a big fuss, I'm afraid that we killed most of the rats in Jinan City, where can we find so many rats to transport food." ”
"This is a thing, we can only use rats to transport food, and seventy percent of the rats in Jinan City have been killed by us. Wuchen said, "But it's not a big problem, at most, it's just a few more trips and a little time." ”
"Well, let's treat it as a dead horse as a live horse doctor. ”
