Chapter 13: Qibei Resurrected from the Dead (13)
Xuan Chen's "spiritual" eyes widened, after all, they were not the naked eye, and they couldn't see clearly the legend of the Nine Golden Crows saving the wind and coming to the city that was meticulously portrayed on the city wall.
Moreover, now is not the time to rest and admire the reliefs of the city walls.
The fleeing spirits rushed into the city gate with a gust of wind, without alarming any of the officers and soldiers defending the city, and the candles of the tower only flickered gently. Qi Bei and Bai Fuchen also rushed into the city gate in time. The female ghost who followed closely behind her made a "bang", as if she was blocked from the door.
When Qi Bei looked backβat this time, the soldiers who were keeping vigil on the city tower also noticed something unusual, and several lanterns went out, and they all leaned out from the battlements to take a peekβand they all screamed.
The ghost of the red wedding dress was standing a step outside the city gate.
No, in fact, besides her, there were three or four headless ghosts around. And behind them, on the way into the city, headless horses came slowly with their hooves of shabby luxury carriages.
"Another demon is trying to enter the city!"
The soldiers on duty at night hurriedly beat the leather drum.
All the officers and soldiers at the west gate woke up and lay on the towering city wall, looking at the terrifying scene in front of the city gate in fear.
"More than half a year ago, there were corpses entering the city, why did they appear again tonight?"
"Look at the one at the head, it's a woman, and she's still wearing a red wedding dress?"
"Oh my God!"
"Have you heard of it, the rocky mountain outside the city gate is the place where the goldfish clan strangers are buried! Back then, Master Taishi wanted to marry the female patriarch and finally kill all the goldfish tribesmen. When the woman's head was cut off, she was still wearing a wedding dress. β
"Do you mean......" A soldier stiffened, gesturing to the bottom of the city.
"Look! the female ghost in red is rushing in!"
But isn't it, the undead spirit of the matriarch stopped for a moment and launched a direct attack on the West City Gate.
Everyone held their breath, and once the city gates were breached, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, there seemed to be an invisible wall a kilometer away from the iron gate, which repeatedly bounced back the undead. The ghost in the red wedding dress attacked again and again, and she couldn't get even half a step close to the city gate.
"Huh, why can't the goldfish clan attack it?"
"Don't spread rumors! Goldfish aliens are taboo not to mention! As a defender of the city, you can't even deal with this little ghost? Look, although the ghost is under the city, it can't enter the city gate. What's the alarm, come on, drive them all away at once. β
Yuan Guan, who defended the city, ordered people to take the lead and threw torches from top to bottom, intending to scare away the ghosts, and the soldiers lit arrows one after another, shooting indiscriminately at the city. The effect of the fire attack was not very good, and one of them happened to hit the red wedding matriarch at the head, the ghost was afraid of fire and light, and turned into a cloud of smoke in an instant, and the headless goldfish people standing outside the city gate with her, the headless horse pulling the cart, and the bones that walked down from the carriage one by one, all disappeared.
"Hmm......" During the whole process, Bai Fuchen was stuffed in Qi Bei's mouth, so as not to make a lot of noise and lead the soldiers on the city tower to find out.
"Go and report to the Taishi Mansion immediately. "The guard of the city Yuan Guan ordered.
Watching several soldiers pass in front of him, Qi Bei didn't dare to breathe, fortunately, he was not a human body here, and like Bai Fuchen, he would not be discovered.
Bai Fuchen pulled out, Qi Bei could finally gasp for breath, and the terrifying ghosts with long teeth and claws disappeared, and just a little bit, the ghosts and monsters of the Troubled Stone Mountain entered the city. He had never been so scared when he was hacked to death by the wolf.
"Safe?"
"The goldfish undead can't follow. Bai Fuchen tapped Qi Bei's shoulder with the handle, as if comforting. Then it twisted itself into a twist and shook off the saliva of Qi Bei on its body.
"I really didn't expect them to be so good. In a few more days, the resentment of the fish head fruit tree will be further condensed, and I am afraid that those ghosts and monsters will be more powerful, and when the time comes, they will not be driven away by fire. β
Thinking of the prophecy of "Baiyu entering the city", Qi Bei panicked: "Hey, that one just now was Baiyu attacking the city, right?"
The crisis of the situation could be heard in Bai Fuchen's tone, and it said, "It's so simple and easy to do." β
"Then or," Qi Bei shrunk his head, "let's leave quickly, it's too dangerous, what can we do if the undead come back and rush into the city gate?"
"There's no hurry. Wait a minute. I've got to figure out why the goblins can't get in. Bai Fuchen looked around, calculated the direction, and said confidently, "Ah, I know, it turns out that 'that thing' is at the west gate of the city." β
"Huh, what are you talking about, what's wrong with the west gate?"
Is there anything special about the West City Gate?
"Don't you think it's strange that the female ghost is blocked out of the door and can't enter? Hehe, in fact, this is the famous ancient formation of Fenglin City-Ten Golden Crow Formation. β
"Ten Golden Crow Formations! Sounds so powerful!" Qi Beibi gave a thumbs up.
"That's a must, because it's the Golden Crow God who stays. The Ten Golden Crow Formations are composed of ten carefully polished stone statues of the Golden Crow God, which are used to protect the safety of the place when the gods leave the Wind Landing City. It is said that the incomparably powerful Golden Crow Array was activated, and all the raging Baiyu were expelled. β
The more Bai Fuchen spoke, the more excited he became, and he searched left and right: "According to a certain direction of the array, ten golden crow stone statues are all over the Fenglin City, and it seems that there is one at the west gate of the city." Hah!"
"Sure enough, where is the golden crow stone statue at the West City Gate?" Qi Bei followed closely behind it.
β...... I don't know. It's weird. β
The two of them searched around, but they couldn't detect the existence of the stone statue again.
Bai Fuchen stopped looking and sighed clearly: "Ah, I understand. It's no wonder that I'm obviously in Fenglin City now, and I can't even detect the power of the Ten Golden Crow Array, let alone know the location of the stone statue. β
Qi Bei hurriedly pointed out the contradiction in Bai Fuchen's words: "How can you not find it? You just said that there is one in the West City Gate." β
Bai Fuchen explained to him: "I can only detect it at the moment when the female ghost rushes towards the city gate, when the formation is triggered and the power is displayed. And now the ghosts have retreated, and the power of the formation is gone. It seems that the stone statue was damaged, or it was not placed in the right place to exert its full strength. β
"That's exactly what happened. β
"No, it shouldn't be. According to my analysis, the formation is thousands of years old, and it must be considered a useless old antique by people in later generations, and now I don't know where to throw it. Hum. β
"Then you mean that there is no Ten Golden Crow Formation to defend against the evil spirits now?" Qi Bei was extremely nervous, "I can't even find the West City Gate?"
"Anyway, I can't find the West Gate. I heard that a stone statue is only half a person tall, and its volume is not large, and once it is corroded and damaged, its mana will weaken. Also, you see, the officers and soldiers at the West City Gate don't seem to know that they can use the Ten Golden Crow Formation to defend against the enemy, that is, the formation has not been handed down. It's a pity that Taishi Mansion really abandoned such an important defense. However, the mana of the stone statue still exists, which is really worth celebrating. Just one stone statue can keep evil spirits at bay and weaken the power of female ghosts, so a fire burns clean. β
