Chapter 3: Izumo Province
Before leaving, Qi Xuansu also specifically looked for the dragon ball of the flying boat, as long as the dragon ball was still there, it was not difficult for Tianji Hall to rebuild a flying boat afterwards, but he found nothing, it may have been swallowed by the Yaqi Snake.
In the process of looking for people, a huge vibration could be felt from time to time, it seemed that the desolate beast was walking on the ground, which should be the sound made by the Yaqi Snake, which made Qi Xuansu extremely nervous, but fortunately it did not come this way. After the search was over, Qi Xuansu immediately led a few people to walk in the opposite direction of the vibration, and walked for more than 200 miles, and the vibration gradually became inaudible.
Qi Xuansu felt that this matter was a little strange, this was a relatively stable route, and there had been several round-trips by flying boat, how could he encounter the Yaqi Snake? When planning the route, the Daomen will deliberately avoid these dangerous places, either someone has lured the Yaqi Snake here, or there is a problem with the person who controls the flying boat.
However, now is not the time to verify this, the key is to find the location of the Daomen army as soon as possible.
Qi Xuansu saved a total of five people, except for Han Yongfeng at the beginning, the other four people were Li Mingshan of the ancestral hall, Lu Yuting of the Huasheng Hall, Tang Yongshui of the Tianji Hall, and Tiangang??????????????? Qian Daren of the hall.
Several people are at the level of the principal, after all, they fell from such a high place, and the low cultivation couldn't bear it at all, and they died on the spot, and those who were lucky enough to survive were all cultivated well, and since the cultivation was good, then the position would not be low.
These people were infused with divine power by Qi Xuansu, and they already had basic activity ability, but unfortunately there was no Wu Zhu, and Qi Xuansu, a halfway monk, could only be hard poured with divine power, and replaced with Wu Zhu cultivated by the Daomen, in fact, there were many treatment methods.
However, Lu Yuting of the Huasheng Hall is proficient in medical science, and has found a lot of pills from the wreckage of the flying boat, after all, it is wartime, and the healing pills are also complete, and after being classified, they have been distributed to everyone.
Li Mingshan of the ancestral hall is proficient in Japanese language, which is very useful for a few people who are not familiar with the place. In fact, when Qi Xuansu was studying in the palace, he was also required to learn a Chinese language, and Qi Xuansu finally chose the Western Lune, one is that he learned a little from Arthur, which is considered to have some foundation, and the other is that he also saw that it is the West that can really compete with the Daomen, and this language is more useful.
As for Tang Yongshui and Qian Daren, they are useless for the time being, but the two of them are born in Quanzhen Dao and Zhengyi respectively, and they are congenitally close to Xuansu, especially Qian Daren, who is from Tiangangtang, which has to be discussed in detail, and can always be related to one or two.
After temporarily leaving the dangerous situation, Qi Xuansu convened a few people for an impromptu meeting, mainly to discuss the issue of returning to the camp.
Several people were very worried about the current situation and expressed their willingness to obey Qi Xuansu's arrangement.
Qi Xuansu also had a detailed map of Fenglin Continent on his body, but the fog before made him not know where he was now. The immediate priority is to determine where you really are, and then you can make a route back to the camp. To determine the location you are prescribing, it is also simple, find a place with people, and ask for it.
This also involves a problem, although the physical characteristics of the Central Plains and Fenglinzhou people are not much different, and they can not be seen at a glance like Westerners, but after all, there are many differences in details, they are not ordinary people at first glance, and the Taoist temperament cultivated for many years cannot pretend to be ordinary people, and the magic clothes on their bodies are even more obvious at a glance.
Even if they are willing to change their clothes, the adult men of Fenglinzhou like to shave the head of the Yue Dynasty, that is, semi-bald, leaving only the hair behind, they can't cut the bun, not to mention the set of parents who suffer from the body of Confucianism, this is undoubtedly a shame for the people in the Daomen, and it is absolutely impossible, so it is not difficult to distinguish.
Now the situation in Fenglinzhou is very complicated, those who approve of the Fenglinzhou court will be more friendly to the Daomen, and those who approve the local feudal lords will be very hostile to the Daomen and may not be willing to cooperate.
Daomen repeatedly reiterated the rules before the war, Daomen is a civilized division, and it can be fought on the frontal battlefield, and it is not allowed to plunder property, molest other people's wives and daughters, kill people indiscriminately and set fires in private, if anyone violates it, once discovered, it will be dealt with by military law.
Now we can only hope that they have fallen within the sphere of influence of the Fenglin Continent Imperial Court.
After walking for about 300 miles, they had left the mountains and came to the more open plains, and they still did not see any people, but they unexpectedly encountered a group of ronin.
As soon as this group of ronins saw the Taoist priests of several people, they drew their knives without saying a word.
The ??????????????? used by the ronins The knife is slightly similar to the horizontal knife, but it is longer, and the swords of the Japanese are not distinguished, they are clearly using knives, but they prefer to say that they are swords.
The situation is very clear, and this should be the territory of the local feudal lord.
Several subordinates escaped death and were injured, so Qi Xuansu had no choice but to take action himself.
In all fairness, these ronins have some skills, according to the realm of the Daomen, the leader can have the Kunlun stage, and a few people holding firearms, but unfortunately they met Qi Xuansu, a celestial, and before they could react, they were smashed by Qi Xuansu's heads one by one.
There was only one leader left, who was pinched by Qi Xuansu's neck, and the long wild knife in his hand fell to the ground, unable to move.
Qi Xuansu originally wanted to use the "Chaos God", but the person who fell into the "Chaos God" was already confused, and could only execute some simple instructions, and he might not be able to ask what he wanted to know, so he beckoned Lu Yuting to come over.
Lu Yuting is a monk, and she survived thanks to a talisman treasure. Physical injuries have little effect on the alchemist.
Qi Xuansu instructed: "He is a damned person, so he doesn't have to scruple and directly uses the method of soul searching." ”
If this is the land of the Central Plains, the method of soul searching is a forbidden law, and it cannot be used in leisure, but it can be placed in Fenglin Continent, so you don't have to pay so much attention to it, the key is that these ronins are not even ordinary people, plus they dare to take the initiative to draw their swords and attack the Taoist priests, and they are not wronged at all.
Lu Yuting did not hesitate, and directly reached out and pressed on this person's heavenly spirit, and began to operate the mana.
After a while, Lu Yuting withdrew her palm and reported to Qi Xuansuyu: "Deputy Hall Master, we are now in Izumo County in Izumo Country. ”
"The place where the Yaki Orochi haunts is really the Izumo country." Qi Xuansu was not very surprised, took out the map and unfolded it, this map clearly marked the cities and array houses of each domain, as well as the areas controlled by the Fenglinzhou Imperial Court, which were distinguished by different colors.
The rest of the people gathered in front of the map, and Li Mingshan's face turned bitter: "There is no Xiangfu power in the entire ten prefectures of Izumo Province, but we are very close to Matsue Castle in Shimane Prefecture, only separated by a water. ”
Qi Xuansu is best at doing homework in advance, knowing that he knows that he is invincible, and after being reborn in a small transformation realm, his memory is far better than that of ordinary people, he never forgets it, and he has ten lines at a glance, and it only took a few days to take a general look at the history of Fenglin Continent before coming here.
He said slowly, "The lords of the Matsue Domain are the Horio clan, the Kyogoku clan, and the Echizen Matsudaira clan, and the domain is Matsue Castle. In the eighth year of the Great Xuan Taiping, after the battle of Sekigahara in Fenglinzhou, the 120,000 stone daimyo Horio Yoshiharu of the Enoe country was moved out of the clouds and hidden differences, and the stone was 240,000 stones. At first, it was called the Izumo Tomita Domain. In the 15th year of Taigen Taihei, Matsue Castle and castle town were built. In the 19th year of the Taihei, Matsue Castle was built, and because the feudal lord Tadaharu had no son to inherit it, it was ruled by the Kyogoku clan. Twenty-two years later, the lord of the Ohama domain, Kyogoku Tadaka, moved to Matsue and added the seal to 240,000 koku. Although there are people inside the Dao Gate clamoring for three months to level Fenglin Continent, it is difficult to shake the Songjiang Domain with just a few of us, so it is better to avoid it. ”
Qian Daren pointed to the map and said, "The nearest Xiangfu force is located in Hita County in Bungo Kingdom, that is, Hita Castle. ”
Han Yongfeng said hesitantly: "This Fenglin Continent is not as big as our Xizhou, and it is divided into so many countries, the status of a country is almost equivalent to a state in our Central Plains, right?" The territory is not big, but the famous hall is not small, and the tone is even bigger, no wonder there is an emperor in the size of the land. ”
Qi Xuansu stared at the map: "We started from Izumo County, passed through Shenmen County, then to Isaishi County, passed through Jiuzhu County, arrived at Hita County, and went to Hita City." Note that there is a camp house called Mori in Jiuzhu County. ”
The camp house is not a city, it can be understood as a barracks, stronghold, or checkpoint.
Lu Yuting proposed: "We try to avoid the city villages and take the wilderness mountain roads, which should save a lot of trouble." ”
Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "It's so decided, if you encounter a small group of enemies, no one will be left, and the corpse will be destroyed." If it were the people, as long as they did not attack us, they would use some magic to erase their memories and save their lives. We are not pirates, and we cannot be like pirates who do not do things. ”
In terms of concealing his whereabouts, Qi Xuansu is half an expert. And the status is high, and the angle from which he thinks about things is different from before, to consider the impact, Daomen has repeatedly reiterated civilization, indicating that Daomen is not like the Golden Horde in the past and just leave, but to continue to rule Fenglinzhou, not wanting to further intensify the contradictions. It's one thing to kill a lord and a samurai, it's another thing to kill an ordinary person. Of course, if ordinary people help to abuse, they should naturally not let it go, and eliminate all evil.
If the strength of the two sides is roughly equal, the battle will definitely not be fought like this, but when the gap between the two sides is huge, Daomen can really talk about the word "civilization".
Without Qi Xuansu's orders, Lu Yuting took the initiative to come to the corpse of the ronin, took out a porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and sprinkled some unknown liquid on the corpse.
I could only hear the sneering sound on the corpse, a faint smoke rising, and then the yellow water kept flowing out, the smoke became thicker, and the yellow water flowed more and more, emitting a sour and burnt stench, even the clothes, and finally only a "yellow soup" remained.
Not all the means of the Dao Gate are above board, after all, the three major yin things can be created, just looking at the appearance of Master Wan, you know that the research of the Transformation Hall on the means of raising corpses will not be less. Lu Yuting is a person from the Incarnation Hall, so it is not surprising that there is such a thing.
Han Yongfeng and the others buried the yellow water with soil again, and as for the remaining blades, they were also buried. These dead things don't smell and are hard to spot.
Bungo Province is located to the south of Izumo Province, so the group traveled south instead.
