[355] Dialogue in the air
Wu Xiaoshen can't govern the country, not at all, but his military talent is perfectly inherited from his father Wu Zhiqi. Thinking back to Hu Hui's words before and after, I knew what Hu Hui was going to do when I looked at Hu Hui's gaze at this time.
The place Hu Hui looked at was in the direction of Eight Tree City.
Eight Tree City is located in the south of the Devil's Crying Beach, dozens of miles west of the mountain surrounded by water. It is only because there is a tree with a peculiar shape on the eight directions in the city, and the branches are twisted and towering, and it is named after the ancient and lush ancient trees that swirl like a pan.
Long before the Devil's Cry Beach was built, Eight Trees City existed, an authentic ancient city in the underworld. After thousands of years of development and continuous construction, the countless streets and alleys in today's Eight Trees City are centered on the yamen in the middle and the cross street that runs through the city as the main trunk.
The oval-shaped riverside wall outside the city is even taller and harder. The city foundation is all made up of granite stones, and the whole city wall is all made of glutinous rice juice and lime and other mortars, and the city bricks and loess are mixed and rammed to build up, the height is five zhang, and the thickness is more than two zhang.
On the steep hills around the outside of the city, on the slopes facing the direction of Eight Tree City, whether it is the top of the mountain surrounded by white clouds, from the edge of the verdant forest to the stone wall and the steep cliff, it is full of neat and orderly, rich and colorful lines, like a chain that surrounds the mountain peaks into a thousand strange terraces.
The clouds and mist drift by, making those curvilinear terraces more like waves across the mountains.
Because of the fact that there are thousands of acres of fertile land, Eight Tree City has always had the reputation of being the granary in the south of Devil Cry Pass.
If the Nine Shadows Army can quickly send troops to capture Eight Trees City after quickly consolidating the defense in the area of Devil Cry Pass, it will be able to exchange some food security for the garrison of Devil Cry Beach and Ghost Cry Pass. In this way, even if the supplies came slowly, the defenders would not run out of rice to cook.
It can also alleviate the pressure of material shortages caused by the Great War in the Nine Shadows.
"Uncle Hu, are you eyeing that big granary in Eight Tree City?" Wu Xiaoshen smiled.
"Well, smart. Hu Hui didn't shy away from anything, nodded and said bluntly: "According to the intelligence, Du Ziren previously arranged in the Eight Tree City and the Windless City outside the pass, and there was a million main army. There are also the soldiers guarding the city, which add up to more than a million in total. You should also have discovered that Song Dingbo's massive onslaught actually brought a million enemy troops. The rest of the soldiers were still in the two cities. If you can take a city, then the military strength of the Nanban will become weaker and weaker. ”。
"Hmm. Wu Xiaoshen nodded thoughtfully and said sincerely: "Yes, then Uncle Hu, you will command." After all, you are an old minister who has been messing with Uncle Xiao for a long time, and you have more experience than us little ghosts. ”。
"Well, you first ask Bai Qian to quickly lead someone to repair the pass. Hu Hui was not polite, and directly opened his mouth to assign tasks: "I am dividing the three seedling warriors and the stone ghosts into two." Part of it will be left to Bai Qi, and the rest will be left to me. ”......
"Say it. Xiao Shizhu, who was sitting in front of Lu Zhu and Lu Pothos, who were locked in the cold and damp prison, looked up and down the two sisters who were standing in the standing cage, their hair was scattered and their faces were pale and haggard, and they were covered with blood because of the scars on their bodies and the tattered prison clothes on their bodies.
In addition to the wounds on the two sisters' bodies, the nails of the ten fingers of their hands and feet were also pulled out, and the tender flesh under the nails was covered with bamboo sticks, and the blood flowed so that the ten fingers and toes turned bright red.
After a pause, Xiao Shizhu asked casually: "Your downline, contact point." ”
"One day husband and wife for one hundred days, does the king really want to do things to the end?" Lu Luo said these words weakly, raised his head and glared at Xiao Shizhu viciously with resentful eyes.
In exchange, it was Xiao Shizhu's disapproving sneer.
"Husband and wife? I really don't have the grace of this husband and wife for you Xiao Ye. Xiao Shizhu's face was calm, he snorted coldly without hesitation, and said in a calm tone: "For you, Xiao Ye, I don't recognize people just by lifting my pants." ”。
The ghost mother who was standing on the side couldn't help frowning when she heard this, Xiao Shizhu's cold words made her feel some compassion, and she suddenly felt that even though the damn green beads and pothos were a little miserable.
"Assassinate my eldest wife, you really ate the dragon's heart and tiger guts?" Xiao Shizhu didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, he slowly stood up, stepped forward and stood in the middle of the standing cage, stared at the green pothos, and said coldly word by word: "I'll count five, and if I don't open my mouth after counting, I will immediately use the soul trick on you, and I don't need to say more about the consequences." ”。
The red flames in the brazier around him swayed a few times, reflecting Xiao Shizhu's face uncertainly, and a little more ruthless and hideous. Coupled with the cold murderous aura emanating from his body, the ghost mother felt that Xiao Shizhu at this moment was so unfamiliar.
"Five!" In the silence of Lu Zhu and Lu Luo, Xiao Shizhu spat out a word, and the sound echoed in the secret prison.
"Four!" After a pause, Xiao Shizhu carefully rolled up the sleeves on his arms without hurrying.
"Three!" Before the word came out, Xiao Shizhu's right hand with his sleeves rolled up had already reached into the cage, and his wide palm suddenly pressed on Lu Zhu's head.
Then a daze appeared on Lu Zhu's face, which quickly spread. I saw that the green beads trembled again and again, the two eyeballs rolled up, and the mouth immediately emitted a poignant "woo".
Immediately afterwards, the green tendons on the green bead's forehead burst out. The eyes rolled up and down, full of fear.
Xiao Shizhu stared at her eyes with full attention, and the bits and pieces of memories in Luzhu's mind continued to flow into Xiao Shizhu's mind, like a horse watching flowers, and scenes kept flashing. At the same time, her most fearful memories were recalled in this moment, and they kept repeating in her mind.
After a few moments, Xiao Shizhu suddenly let go, and the green beads that were still conscious became muddy, trembling all over, turning his head and continuing to roll his eyes, and the corners of his mouth continued to flow clear saliva.
When the pothos saw it, she was immediately frightened and her legs went weak.
"It's really not offline. From Lu Zhu's memory, after seeing that the two sisters were using carrier pigeons to pass the book, Xiao Shizhu was stunned, turned to look at the ghost mother, spread his hands a little lost, and shook his head gently.
In the past few years, Xiao Shizhu's cultivation of the soul dementoring technique has been perfected, and when he is full of energy, he will no longer be able to perform the trick and will be weak after the operation.
"Xiao Shizhu!" At the same time, Lu Zhu, who should have been unconscious, suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Xiao Shizhu's back, and the two white eyes that were still turning up also returned to their normal appearance, the only difference from before was that Lu Zhu's face at this time was as pale as dirt, and his body was lifeless.
Xiao Shizhu was stunned for a moment, sensing the cold and dead air emanating from the green bead behind him, and suddenly felt that this feeling was exactly the same as the night wandering god who gave him an arrow at the beginning, and hurriedly turned around, looked at him curiously, stared at his green bead, and said in surprise: "Emperor Xudu!"
"Emperor Xudu's soul continuation talisman seal?" the ghost mother also widened her eyes at this time, staring at the green beads and blurting out exclaimed.
She knew that this kind of divine and ghost technique created by Emperor Xudu was difficult to detect when she didn't cast it, and the ghosts who were implanted with this kind of talisman still had self-awareness. Once the other party enters death or the brink of death, the Emperor Xudu can be far away and control this spirit.
The only flaw is that this tricky spell can only control the body of a dead soul for a while. And Emperor Xudu can only control one ghost at a time.
And there was a question she couldn't understand: since she learned that Xiao Shizhu was controlled by the Emperor Xudu, the ghost mother secretly asked Ying Ying to explore all the ghosts from the Xudu City. As soon as they found the ghosts who had been cast this technique, they immediately unravel the spell for them.
But after careful investigation, Chen Ruo and King Qin Guang, who are high-level agents of the Xudu regime, have not been used in the bodies of such tricky and strange talismans, not even in the bodies of the black and white impermanence who came to surrender, but why is there this talisman in the body of the negligent green bead because they are imprisoned?
After thinking about it, the ghost mother suddenly realized: when Chen Ruo arrived in the Nine Shadows Country, this country was still called the Ghost Mother Country, and Xiao Shizhu had not been born yet, so naturally he would not be spelled. It's useless to cast a spell.
And whether it is King Qin Guang, black and white impermanence, Emperor Xudu is too confident, and believes that they will not betray the Northern Yin Dynasty, so he did not cast a spell.
As for the green beads, it was the Emperor Xudu who secretly instructed the reincarnation king to send them to Xiao Shizhu's bed, so he naturally had to perform this technique to ensure that Xiao Shizhu was reversed, and he could take the body of the green beads and kill Xiao Shizhu on the bed.
Thinking about this, the hair on the back of the ghost mother suddenly stood on end, and cold sweat broke out.
"Bang!" A muffled sound sounded in the prison, and the flames in the brazier suddenly turned red and green, and suddenly became a little weird.
"We finally met. Lu Zhu stared at Xiao Shizhu's eyes for a moment, and slowly opened his mouth to spit out a male voice: "I didn't expect the kid from the Fuxi family to look pretty good, your eyes remind me of your old lady." ”。
"Awesome. Xiao Shizhu was not frightened, only curiosity was left on his face, and he stroked his palms again and again and said with a smile: "Your soul continuation talisman can actually use the dying ghost to talk to me in the air?"
"There is no fear and consternation, and you can still talk and laugh in the face of a strong enemy. Lu Zhu looked at Xiao Shizhu, who was full of composure between his eyebrows, and continued to say in a male voice: "This is very similar to your old father!"
"If you want to praise me for a few words, and ask me to stop resisting your tyranny, is that too bland and boring?" Xiao Shizhu smiled disappreciably, turned around and sat on the chair and cocked Erlang's legs, looked at Lu Zhu with a smile and said: "Don't talk about you, you have to learn how to make sycophants, especially my sycophants, I can consider considering not letting you lose too much shame." ”。
As soon as these words came out, the ghost mother, who was still on guard, laughed happily. In the huge underworld, since the ancient gods were destroyed by the Emperor Xudu, no ghost dared to talk to the Emperor Xudu like this, and Xiao Shizhu was also a precedent.
Lu Zhu raised his eyebrows, his face was full of anger, and he scolded in a deep voice: "Be bold! Don't think that if you defeat my million-strong army, you will be invincible in the world!"
"Is it just an army of millions?" Xiao Shizhu was suddenly in a good mood, and he was the most happy to ridicule his opponent, and he smiled with interest at the moment, and said: "But the young master seems to remember that there are still tens of millions of stone of grain, and it seems that under the joint action of me and the Mo family, it has begun to mold." ”。
Lying is one of his best skills, and he has long been trained to come when he opens his mouth, and his face is not red and his heart does not beat when he lies. As soon as the words came out, he said far away in Xudu, and the Emperor of Xudu, who heard this through the green beads, believed that he really asked the ink to help and ruined the grain storage in the granaries in the north and south of Xudu.
At this moment, Lu Zhu's entire face turned blue and green.
"Alright, don't talk nonsense. Xiao Shizhu clapped his hands in fear, smiled again, and said to Lu Zhu: "We'll see you on the battlefield, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”。
"Really?" Lu Zhu asked rhetorically, his gaze drifted to the ghost mother's face, and asked coldly: "How does it feel that you killed his parents with your own hands and then married him?"
