Chapter 14: May 22 (1)
"What are you looking at?"
Sensing Sima Yi's gaze, Jia Xu turned his head slightly and looked at the skull floating in mid-air with a smile.
"Nothing ......"
The skull turned to the side with some stiffness, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance.
"That Zhou Ping seems to have arrived."
"Oh, really?"
Jia Xu also looked over, he obviously did not have such a keen perception as Sima Yi, in his field of vision, the mountains and forests were still the same mountains and forests, and he couldn't see the slightest difference.
"Isn't that exactly what you're calculating?"
……
In the mountains and forests in the distance, under the cover of the talisman, Zhou Ping, dressed as a soldier of the Xiliang Army, was making the final arrangements for tomorrow's operation.
It is obviously unrealistic to directly arrange the formation on the altar of other people, but the problem is not big, the formation of cloud vapor and fog change can be used by him twice, and now he has five times, and the understanding and application of this formation have matured, and the scope and timeliness are naturally not the same.
Although he was currently half a mile away from the altar, he was sure that the clouds that obscured his view would cover the entire riverbank.
Other than that......
Zhou Ping glanced at the trees beside him, the trunks of the trees had been pasted with charms, and thunder, and there were also sound and light misleading, everything that could be used here, he had arranged a lot.
The plan is very simple, there will be more morning fog at the water's edge, and under the cover of the morning mist, Zhou Ping's magic circle will be unconsciously cast. The timing of the other party's opening of the ban will definitely not be delayed because of the small mist, and at the very moment when they cast the spell, they will make a move, and rob Diao Chan in the next move in Dong Bai's internal response.
Of course, this is the smoothest situation, and if the circle is recognized, the talismans on these trees should be of their use, and the violent sound and light will create the illusion of an enemy attack. Dong Bai's military general ability is smell, and under the enemy attack, Dong Bai will pretend to panic and release the incense, and he can still fish in troubled waters.
The two strategists on the other side, Jia Xu in the Ming Dynasty wants to open the ban, and he will definitely have no time to take care of it, and Sima Yi in the dark will be handed over to Zuo Ci, and he can rest assured, and he only needs to deal with a few generals, although it is impossible to take their lives, but under the interference of many spells, it is not a problem to rob Diao Chan.
After going through the plan in his heart, Zhou Ping straightened his clothes and blended into the ranks of patrolling the altar.
……
May 22, auspicious.
Dong Zhuo rarely got up early today, or he didn't fall asleep at all last night, although he is old, but after all, he is a general, and he still looks energetic at this time after not sleeping all night.
"Taishi."
The car stopped by the altar, and Jia Xu immediately respectfully surrounded him.
"Everything is ready."
"Okay."
Dong Zhuo looked around, many arrangements had been made, the soldiers in charge of holding the flag stood on all floors of the altar, all kinds of banners and cloths swayed against the morning breeze by the river, and all the generals who should be present were also present, some were responsible for guarding, and some were on standby in place.
The only fly in the ointment is the morning mist on the surface of the water, which is mixed with the yin qi of the mausoleum, which coats everything with a layer of gloomy and cold atmosphere, and things in the distance look like eerie ghosts, which makes people very uncomfortable.
"Master, the time is almost up."
"Hmm."
Dong Zhuo nodded, signaled to the soldiers beside him, and Diao Chan, who rushed from Chang'an with him, was invited from the car under Dong Bai's escort.
Today's Diao Chan looks more gorgeous than the concubines in the harem, she is wearing a Luo shirt, a mud cloud cloak on her shoulders, a hibiscus crown on her head, a flower Luo skirt, a Luo small fan in her hand, and a mud gold shoe on her feet, but it is the dress of the Qin period.
Diao Chan was originally a national color and a fragrant appearance, and with this gorgeous outfit, it immediately attracted all Lu Bu's attention. Since Diao Chan was sent to the harem, he has never had a chance to see Diao Chan, and he thinks about Diao Chan day and night when he sees Diao Chan so beautifully, and his eyes are straight all of a sudden.
However, at this time, no one paid attention to Lu Bu, everyone's attention was on Diao Chan's body, under Jia Xu's guidance, Diao Chan climbed the altar step by step, and behind her, Dong Bai, who was in charge of guarding, and Dong Zhuo, who was about to enter the mausoleum.
In the past few days, Diao Chan has been served with good food and drink in the harem, although it is possessed by the soul, but the complexion is much better than when he was in Wang Yun's mansion, and not only the complexion, but even the godless eyes and indifferent expression have also changed slightly.
Although Dong Bai didn't tell her explicitly, the intentional or unintentional hints between the words, coupled with Diao Chan's not stupid mind, she had already guessed what might happen today, and she couldn't rekindle her hope, but she was really looking forward to something.
"What were you expecting?"
The cold voice came, and Diao Chan, who was walking with his head down, raised his head, but only saw the back of Jia Xu leading the way.
"No expectations."
Diao Chan said coldly.
"You should leave yourself a little vain...... Go up. ”
Jia Xu got out of the way, and on the last floor of the altar, only Diao Chan could go up.
What did he mean by that?
Dong Bai, who stopped on the same floor as Jia Xu, glanced at Jia Xu, but happened to meet Jia Xu's gaze, he smiled at Dong Bai and hid everything respectfully.
"Bell! Clang! ……”
At this moment, a melodious bell rang out.
When the sun is shining, the less yin is gone, and the first arrival of the young yang can be a good time.
"Taishi."
"Let's get started."
Dong Zhuo nodded lightly and said in a suppressed voice, although he was already restrained, his voice still trembled with excitement.
"Yes."
Jia Xu quickly saluted Dong Zhuo, he waved his hands, and there were words in his mouth, and then, the endless yin qi wandering in the air finally rolled up.
……
In the mountains and forests in the distance, Zhou Ping made a lot of arrangements last night.
"I didn't expect that Jia Xu was just a disguise, but it was you who really cast the spell."
Zuo Ci slowly walked out from behind a tree, and in front of him, Sima Yi had his back to him, chanting a mantra in a low voice.
Seeing Zuo Ci appear, Sima Yi was still chanting the mantra, but the three skulls around him flew towards Zuo Ci, and the eyes of these skulls were shining with purple light, and they looked vigilant.
"You don't have to be so hostile to me, although you and I have different positions, I'm just a bystander, at least in this matter, I won't take action."
Zuo Ci's words were obviously not convincing, and the purple light in the eyes of those skulls was not extinguished, and they still looked at Zuo Ci vigilantly.
"I'm a bystander, Yu Ji will only make a move when Zhou Ping is in danger, you are the actual manipulator, these are obvious, the only thing that makes me wonder is that Jia Xu, what is his role, or his purpose?"
Sima Yi obviously couldn't answer Zuo Ci's question at this time, and Zuo Ci didn't ask for any answers, and continued to reason on his own.
"You definitely won't give the things in the mausoleum to Jia Xu, he is willing to help you, is it really just for the so-called status?"
"Or does he have something else in mind?"
