Chapter 40: The common people ask the ghosts and gods

Zhao Huang was slightly surprised, he originally thought that Tie Gong, a god of the past who was cut off from worship and incomplete in human form, should not be very sound in his spiritual thinking, who would have thought that he would have the wisdom to understand the world.

It would be great to be able to communicate. Zhao Xiao was also worried that this mountain god who had broken off the incense to worship would become a mountain demon again.

Because with the demise of the Tianxia Dynasty, the Kewen ghost law that used to restrain ghosts and gods has been abolished one after another, and it is not unusual for the original ritual gods to become evil gods.

Just like the local magistrate and commander of the first army of the Tianxia Dynasty, after the imperial court was unable to command the Quartet, he immediately turned into a heroic man who divided one side and was good at prestige.

"Xiao Zhaodou dared to meet Tie Gong to solve his doubts." Zhao Xiao said.

Tie Gong's moire iron ball head turned, and a few low cushions appeared out of thin air in front of Zhao Xiao, and a cup of warm fragrant tea was placed on it.

This made Zhao Xiao very shocked in his heart, and he didn't dare to sit down easily. Tie Gong said, "I have seen you bury the dead in the nearby countryside and practice the Dharma to save your souls. Knowing that you have the heart of helping people and benefiting people, according to the law of Tianxia ghosts and gods, warlocks and mages can eliminate harm and prosperity, help the country and protect the people, and there is a reward. Therefore last night I showed my brilliance and drew you here. If you have any doubts, it's okay to speak up. ”

Zhao Xiao didn't expect that his every move was in the eyes of this iron man, although his tone was calm and unwavering, it seemed to approve of his own approach. Considering that this Iron Princess, who was already very loved by all the people of Xingluo County in Tianxia, he was also a kind and upright god.

Zhao Xiao sat down and asked: "A few days ago, there were thieves and thieves in Panlong Mountain who forged the divine sword, and it was rumored that the sword qi was rushing into the sky and was intimidating, did Tie Gong know about it?" ”

"It is true." Tie Gong replied: "However, the place where the sword is forged is a little far away from here, located in the northwest Yunyan Peak. That place is the place where the veins of Panlong Mountain rise to the sky, and there were immortal cultivators who built caves thousands of years ago. ”

"Yunyan Peak?" Zhao Xiao secretly thought to himself, presumably this place was closely related to the Yunyan Chief, so he asked again: "Could it be that the person who forged the divine sword is the immortal cultivator on Yunyan Peak?" ”

"Definitely." Tie Gong said: "Yunyan Peak has been inherited and cut off nearly a hundred years ago, and people have gone to the mountains and skies. It's just that because this peak is extremely high and steep, and there is a ban on the wind around it, it is difficult for ordinary people to approach, even if the mountain spirits want to steal the cave, they can't get it. ”

Zhao Xiao was puzzled: "In that case, why can the Chiyun Du monk enter it now to forge a sword?" ”

Tie Gong's head turned: "I don't know the truth, back then, the heroes of Tianxia rose together, and the people of Yunyan Peak went down the mountain. Maybe it was a struggle with people, and in the end no one turned back. Recently, the people who occupy Yunyan Peak can freely enter and exit the Gangfeng prohibition, and they should have the inheritance of Yunyan Peak. ”

Zhao Xiao pondered when he heard this, don't look at it with a cloud word, in fact, there were many immortal cultivation sects like this in the past, and the name was more mysterious than the other. Most of them occupy a mountain stream where the clear qi gathers and will stand on their own, some of them may really be traced back to the inheritance of the law line left by an ancient immortal family, but more of them are three or five, seven or eight disciples, shrinking in a hole in the mountain to blow the wind and refine the qi, the situation is similar to that of Mr. Lishan Zhu at the beginning, and the cultivation mana of the disciples of the sect is by no means smart.

However, after the fall of Tianxia and the violent turmoil of the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, these so-called immortal cultivation sects have also gone through the sand and sand tide, such as the Huaxu Kingdom set up a pavilion to replace these mountain-lined immortal cultivation sects.

Zhao Xiao also knew more or less that these immortal cultivation sects did not have a good impression of the pavilion. At the beginning of the establishment of the pavilion in Huaxu Kingdom, the Chongxuan Pavilion once took the will and openly broke into some immortal cultivation sects to search for immortal scriptures and magic weapons, and there were many lives in that year.

Later, in order to survive, some immortal cultivators either sacrificed the immortal scriptures and turned to the imperial court, or abandoned the Zongmen Cave Mansion and fled from Huaxu Kingdom.

Zhao Xiao suddenly thought of Yang Liujun, whose use of magic was very different from that of Chiyun Mountain, this person was probably not the true disciple of the three elders of Chiyun, but only later joined Chiyun Capital. Could it be that this person has obtained the diaspora inheritance of Yunyan Peak, and now he is coming back to take revenge on Huaxu Kingdom?

"The Chiyun Du monk forged the divine sword, presumably mining the hardware elite from Panlong Mountain." Zhao Xiao asked, "Does Tie Gong know where their mine is?" ”

Tie Gong pondered for a while: "This divine sword is not cast with hardware, and I don't know its origin. Previously, the divine sword was born, and the stars shook, I am afraid that the materials for forging the sword did not come from Panlong Mountain. But there are indeed monsters mining glowing stones in the mountains, which is a reed demon from the northern Xinjiang, this generation is good at digging soil holes, can detect the gas of gold and jade, and can also escape by means of the earth's veins. It is difficult for mortals to climb over Panlong Mountain, but this generation can use the leylines to communicate with the earth cave. ”

Zhao Xiao nodded thoughtfully, he had known about Chiyundu's collusion with the monster for a long time, but the ability of this Northern Xinjiang Otter Demon was unexpected.

Considering the vast territory of the northern frontier, it is already full of all kinds of non-human monsters and xenomorphs Rongdi, which does not seem to be surprising.

"I wonder if Tie Gong can point out the place where the Otter Demon mined the Glowing Stone?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"The rex demon quarrying is not on the ground, but underground, and the entrance and exit caves are narrow, and it is difficult for you and the soldiers to enter." Tie Gong's head turned, and the location of several Otter Demon Caves naturally appeared in Zhao Huang's mind, and he heard him say again: "The Red Cloud Monk goes to the cave every once in a while and exchanges the Zhicao Pill for the Glowing Stone. But a few days ago, the sword was cast, and the contact between the two gradually decreased. If you go, you will get nothing. ”

Zhao Xiao also felt quite helpless, when he learned that Chiyun had cast the divine sword, he didn't pay much attention to it, who would have expected that they would really succeed just after the beginning of spring. Originally, Zhao Xiao also imagined how to dispatch troops and horses to intercept Chiyundu mining, but the result was that none of them could be realized.

"Xiao Zhaoshang has something to ask Tie Gong for." Zhao Huang straightened up: "Recently, we are searching for the demon that drives away the walking corpse, does Tie Gong know its whereabouts?" ”

Tie Gong replied very bluntly: "In the Burial Valley more than thirty miles west of Huangyang Township, this demon is using evil magic to arouse the corpses of the people. ”

"Ichimoku Min?!" Zhao Xiao's face changed suddenly.

"In that year, Huaxu captured Xingluo County, beheaded all the people of Yimu, and abandoned all the corpses in the barren valley, so it was named Burial Valley." Tie Gong said.

When Zhao Xiao heard this, he almost jumped up, Yimu people were a descendant of the ancient Longbo people. Legend has it that "the people of Longbo are thirty zhang long, and they die at the age of eighteen thousand", which cannot be regarded as mortals. Even though the kingdom of Lombor no longer exists, its descendants are still tall. It is said that on the ice fields deep in the northern Xinjiang, there are other descendants of the Longbo Kingdom, who are two or three feet tall, with white beard and hair, and can drum cold wind, frost and snow when they open their mouths.

As for the Ichimoku people, this descendant of the Lombok Kingdom is known for their savage stupidity, except for the strange features of having only one look on their faces. They almost didn't know anything except fighting and gluttony, and they didn't do anything about production and cultivation, they all relied on plundering to get what they needed, even in the vast northern frontier, it was the scourge of the No. 1 people's disgust with dogs.

At that time, Xuan Ju, the lord of the Xuan Ming Kingdom, swept through the northern frontier, relying on a black dragon with an extremely violent temperament, and recovered all the Rongdi tribes, whether they were human or non-human, goblins and ghosts, all of them were loyal and loyal, including the descendants of ancient giants like the people of Yimu. As a result, the Xuan Ming Kingdom gathered a vast army that no one could stop, and attacked the city to the south.

Not to mention how other countries in Kunlun Continent fought back later, at least the people of Yimu who entered Xingluo County were wiped out by Huaxu Kingdom. However, I am afraid that the corpses of those one-eyed people have not gone through the rituals and rituals to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate filth, and it is very likely that they will be aroused by evil magic.

Thinking of the size of Yimu Min, Zhao Xiao felt that his scalp was numb, and he was about to get up, and hurriedly asked: "Tie Gong, I don't know what kind of demon it is, with such evil skills, it can drive many walking corpses?" ”

"I can't tell." Tie Gong said bluntly: "But I feel that its blood and filth are very heavy, and there is a move to devour people's flesh and blood to nourish itself." And the hair is dense, and every time he looks at the sun, he has a long howl towards the moon, unlike ordinary monsters who swallow the moon and cultivate. ”

Zhao Xiao's brows furrowed, the more Tie Gong's description became more and more familiar, how could it be a little similar to the young master of the Dai family at the beginning?

"Tie Gong, forgive Xiao Zhao for being rude, the stakes are very high, and I don't have time to talk about it deeply." Zhao Xiao got up and arched his hand: "If you let these demons evoke the corpses of the people, it will definitely cause great harm, and Xiao Zhao will leave immediately." ”

"You just go." Tie Gong said: "I have been attached to the talisman, if you meet a strong enemy, you will be summoned by the talisman, this is the reward you deserve." ”

After saying that, Zhao Xiao only felt the sound of gusts of wind in his ears, and the objects in front of him were quickly pulled into large patches of mixed light, and the whole person seemed to be dragged backwards by a huge force, and his mind was shocked and agitated, and the true qi in his body was rushing.

"That was ...... just now" Zhao Xiao blinked, and found that he was still sitting in the cave shrine, and his previous experience seemed to be true or not, making it difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality.

Ling Xiao said: "You just came out of your soul and went to the Void Palace opened by Tie Gong. ”

"Void Palace? Where is the Void Palace? Zhao Xiao was puzzled: "Didn't you say that the Void Palace is the realm of the palace formed by the condensation of the true spirit of the mountains?" What I just saw was an ordinary mountain forest, and there was no immortal atmosphere. ”

"The Void Palace is a general reference, and whether it is necessary to condense the palace and the true saints depends on the mountain weather." Ling Xiao said: "If the mountain is big, the god is big, and if the mountain is small, the god is small." Tie Gong is self-aware, and he is far from being able to take the Qi veins of Panlong Mountain. What's more, the palace scene is the favor of the world, and Tie Gong has no intention of this, so he naturally will not condense this kind of thing. ”

Zhao Xiao stood up, he looked at the true form talisman in his hand, among which the talisman diagram was a little more vivid than before, and the talisman seemed to be a little heavier.

"It's weird." Zhao Xiao touched his forehead.

Lingxiao explained, "If the spirit is too far away, you can't bear it. But if you go to the mountain Void Palace, you will use the fragrant clouds as a bridge to connect the charm of the Void Palace, but the spirit is not far away. ”

"I guess I understand." Zhao Xiao put away the talismans, packed up the sundries, and then walked out of the shrine and beckoned all the soldiers to gather.

Now that he knew the location of the demons, Zhao Huang no longer hesitated, he first sent people to Yuyang County on horseback, and informed General Wei of the news that the demons were trying to arouse the people of Yimu, and asked him to mobilize a large army to come, and then led everyone to rush to the Burial Valley.

Zhao Xiao didn't dare to be careless, and carefully counted the soldiers and weapons he led on the way, distributed the golden armor talisman to everyone, and handed over the five fire charm knives to the best soldiers in martial arts.

When he came to the outside of the Burial Valley, Zhao Huang could see a gloomy and gray dense forest from a distance, he did not directly lead the army to go deeper, but sent scouts to explore and sort out the terrain, and he also released paper cranes and flew to the depths of the Burial Valley.

However, once the paper crane flew close to the burial valley, the strong yin and evil qi scattered the spells on the paper crane, and it fell out of control, and Zhao Xiao couldn't see the things in it.

"What are you kidding? This filth is too strong! Zhao Xiao only thought it was incredible, it was not strange that the spell was broken by filth and filth. But the current situation in the Burial Valley is comparable to a big dung pit that has been soaked for more than ten years, and a slightly shallow spell cannot be used in it at all.

"Zhao Fu, what now?" The soldiers who had obtained the Fire Charm Sword were very excited and eager to try.

"There's no hurry." Zhao Xiao said: "Fence the carriage and dig a ditch outside, and we will stay here until reinforcements arrive." ”

Zhao Xiao knew his skills very well, he couldn't kill in and out of the enemy army like Luo Xixian.

Fortunately, the carriage that Zhao Xiao mentioned was not an ordinary cart loaded with goods, but a wagon with widened wheels and three layers of thick wood on both sides.

This was for most of the day, Zhao Xiao and the others stood behind the car base, and they didn't see any movement in the burial valley, and the ordinary soldiers also felt bored, and some people put their weapons aside, chatting and chatting in a daze.

Just when Zhao Xiao also felt that he had to find another way, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and a string of trees broke and fell in the distance, and no birds were frightened and fled, maybe there were not many living creatures there at all.

"Prepare for war!"

Seeing this, Zhao Xiao hurriedly shouted, he stood behind the wooden planks of the carriage base, and a soldier stepped forward and said, "Zhao Fu, it's good that you are behind, our brothers will protect you!" ”

"What protection?" Zhao Xiao retorted: "Just these few cars, where can I hide?" Stop the demon here, and wait for General Wei's soldiers and horses to come to help! ”

When all the soldiers heard this, their morale was high, and they immediately set up a battle posture, and everyone stared at the direction of the Burial Valley.

However, in the next moment, everyone's hearts were tightly grasped by invisible hands.

I saw a man who was more than two people tall, gray, swollen and fat, his whole body was covered with stitches and threads, and even the head that had been cut off was re-sewn with thick needles and threads, and the skin and flesh of his belly shook and trembled with the pace, and his turbid and yellowed one-eyed eyes were dull, dragging a dead tree in his hand, and slowly approached the camp.

"Did you really get it out?" Zhao Huang is really in trouble now, the height of the fortress is quite effective against ordinary foot soldiers and even cavalry, but in the face of the people who are far beyond ordinary people, I am afraid there is not much advantage.

But before the walking corpses approached, a large group of walking corpses ran out of the dense forest behind, and hundreds of them were seen to let out a strange roar, and their eyes burst out of the dark green ghost fire, and they staggered out one after another.
