"Dead!" Lieutenant Zhang couldn't cry or laugh, and kicked casually, and the remains of the rat demon turned into charcoal and shattered to the ground: "I can't die anymore!" ”

"That's good." Zhao Xiao only felt exhausted and tired, and he couldn't straighten his back just by sitting.

This time, Zhao Xiao did his best to show his best rituals and rituals, summoning a group of soldiers and horses who had just been subdued, and using thunder and arrows to destroy the temple and punish evil.

After the three thunder arrows were cast, Zhao Xiao's eyes almost turned black and he fell off the mandala, thinking that he was planning the layout and design, this rat demon died unjustly.

The other monks of the Zhenzhen Pavilion were in charge of cleaning up the mandala, and Zhao Xiao beckoned to Zhang Yanshou and motioned for him to bring his bamboo basket.

"What does Immortal Zhao want?" Zhang Yanshou saw that Zhao Xiao was like a hangover, and he was pulling the bamboo basket in a trance, but his hands and feet didn't obey the call, and he couldn't pick up anything.

"Water ......" Zhao Xiao's mouth was dry, and his five internal qi were burned, In order to urge the clouds in the sky to accumulate thunder, the true qi of the five treasures in his body was almost scorched.

Zhang Yanshou hurriedly rummaged through the bamboo basket, took out a bamboo tube and handed it to Zhao Xiao, the other party raised his head and poured it violently, and after a while, his pale face returned to a little blood.

"Fortunately, I have prepared this anti-anxiety and qi water." Zhao Xiao gasped for breath, and his fatigue eased slightly, so he took out a few pills and water from the bamboo basket and swallowed them, and sat down to regulate the power of pranayama and refining medicine.

A moment later, the lieutenant came running quickly, and he saw Zhao Huang sitting cross-legged and pranayama, and he didn't dare to say anything to disturb him.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xiao closed his eyes and asked.

"I found this in the corpse of the rat demon." The lieutenant pulled out a thumb-sized orange-red orb, crystal like jade.

Zhao Xiao opened his eyes and took it, raised his hand and took it: "This is the demon's inner dan...... I can still save the demon pill after being attacked by my three thunder arrows, which is really not to be underestimated. ”

Zhang Yanshou asked curiously, "Is this rat demon very powerful?" ”

The lieutenant secretly kicked him: "How do you talk?" ”

Zhao Xiao didn't mind, and sighed softly: "I'm not modest, if I am asked to fight this rat demon face to face, it is estimated that I can only rely on the magic weapon to protect myself, and then take the opportunity to escape, I can't expect to kill him in one fell swoop." ”

"Is it so powerful?" The lieutenant was a little puzzled, in his opinion, Zhao Xiao's magic ability should be above the second brother.

At the beginning, with the secret assistance of the second brother, they smashed the shrine of the Void Sun True Monarch, and occasionally a few mouse demons who emerged were also stabbed to death by the villagers. Why does it seem that this rat demon's ability is not simple now?

Zhao Huang twisted the red jade-like demon pill, and those monks of the True Descent Pavilion also came over, so he simply said: "This rat demon has pretended to be an immortal god, and has been worshiped by incense for many years, and his soul is strong. Just like this demon pill, it is polished and rounded, and the original body is strong, and the sword is difficult to hurt. Not to mention that there is a group of demons under his command, who can also drive away the rat swarm and act as eyes and ears.

Let's put it this way, don't think of it as a monster in the mountains, maybe it's more appropriate to think of these rat demons as thieves and rebels occupying the mountains. I've had a lot of trouble dealing with them. ”

The lieutenant couldn't help but ask, "Immortal Zhao Chang, how did you do it?" Can you tell us about it? ”

Zhao Xiao glanced at the captain here, and saw the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, everyone looked along his line of sight, and saw hundreds of soldiers and horses lined up outside Xinglong County, and for a while, arrows flew wildly, and fires were everywhere, whether it was a rat demon that had begun to take on a human form, or a giant rat that was fat and abnormal, it fell into the blade bush one after another.

"Where to start......" Zhao Xiao pondered his words and confided in everyone his plans these days.

In fact, when he knew that the rat demon's lair was located in Xinglong County, Zhao Xiao had already vaguely judged that the rat demon was likely to collude with local mortals.

Monsters are not human after all, and not everyone is like Jiang Ru's fox demon family, who can serve the immortal Taoist family. Monsters enter and exit the world, and once they are exposed, they will not be tolerated by the world after all, so it is best to choose mortals and walk and do things for themselves.

Whether it is pretending to be a ghost or a lure with wealth, if there are mortals to help cover it, it will naturally save you a lot of trouble. If you only rely on the wild rampage of the mountains and forests, it will only attract monks and masters to come and kill demons and evil spirits.

Lao Sanqian is in the remote countryside of Qiaozhang Village, and he still knows how to move out of the name of Xuri Zhenjun, and he will have similar means when he goes to Xinglong County.

Therefore, when Zhao Huang learned that the rat demon nest was related to the Ancestral Hall of the Thousand Golden Immortals, he immediately began to lay out, it was not enough to kill Lao 3,000, he wanted to uproot this gopher demon atmosphere, and cleanse the world in one fell swoop!

It just so happened that the Xinglong County Commander actually thought that he had come to ask for a bribe, and took out the official money of the government treasury, so Zhao Huang ended the matter of raising money and grain by the way.

That night, Zhao Huang asked He Dangguan to summon the singers and dancers to the post house, and he himself actually performed the golden water shape method early, leaving a clone in the post house, making a momentum of seeking pleasure, so as to paralyze the local county order, as well as the possible snooping of demons and evils.

And Zhao Huang himself left the post house early with the help of masking illusion and began to investigate the specific situation in various places inside and outside Xinglong County.

"Wait, the one who threw up the banquet that night was just the clone of the immortal chief?" Lieutenant asked in surprise.

Zhao Xiao couldn't help but smile smugly: "How?" You didn't see it, did you? ”

When he said this, he also took out a paper figure from the bamboo basket by the way, and hit the open space in front of him, the paper figure seemed to tremble like insect wings, and changed into the appearance of Zhao Xiao in the blink of an eye.

Originally, the gold water shape method had to be condensed with the help of the magic mirror, and Zhao Xiao made additional improvements on top of this, inducing qi into a talisman and writing on the paper figure. When necessary, you can let the paper figure be robbed.

The paper clone doesn't have much ability, and even the technique of collecting qi and condensing is not smooth, but it is better than the description of the facial features, the tone and demeanor are consistent with the ontology, and it is made by the change of Zhao Xiao's own true qi, if there is no advanced cultivation, or extraordinary eyesight, it is difficult to see through the essence of the doppelganger.

"Well, the art of fractal change should not be preached everywhere." When Zhao Huang was in high spirits, Ling Xiao secretly reminded: "It was originally a conspiracy method you used to calculate others, and there is no need to explain it. ”

Zhao Xiao almost couldn't contain his showmanship, coughed dryly twice and withdrew the clone, and then said, "Where did you talk about it just now?" Oh, it's after I left the inn ......."

Zhao Huang was distracted in many places that night, first secretly probed the government office, and the paper crane sent out at that time spied on the private words of the Xinglong County Order and the shrine temple guard, so Zhao Huang set his eyes on the treasury.

But the door of the treasury was closed, and it was inconvenient to sneak in, so Zhao Xiao didn't waste too much time again, so he concentrated his energy and began to prepare for the means of dealing with the rat demon.

Gu Yan

With the help of the soldiers and horses of the altar, Zhao Xiao basically explored the exit of the rat demon's lair. However, the enemy was lenient, and Zhao Xiao considered that the rat demon leader might have cultivated for a long time and had advanced mana, and there was no guarantee that he would be able to catch it just by blocking the exit of the lair that was visible on the bright side.

For this reason, Zhao Xiao must lead three thousand people to appear, and the Qianjin Great Immortal Shrine is the best place to start.

Lao 3,000 fake gods, nourished by the power of incense, must have something attached to the altar of the shrine. Considering that the bottom of the shrine is likely to be where the nest is, it is best to use powerful spells to destroy the shrine, the nest, and the rat demon in one go.

After thinking about it, the method of thunder and arrows is the most appropriate means. If you can rain down thunder and fire in public and cut down the temple to punish evil spirits, then even if the rat demon escapes, it can completely destroy the god of the golden fairy in the minds of the local people, and cut off the incense belief and blood food offering of the rat demon.

For this reason, Zhao Xiao must set up an mandala, perform rituals and rituals, and rain down evil thunder. Similarly, Zhao Huang also has to draw out Lao Sanqian first, as long as the rat demon qi machine appears, Zhao Xiao's body can look at the direction and let the heavenly thunder hit with one blow.

Therefore, after Zhao Xiao's doppelganger went to the shrine, he repeatedly spoke out to make things difficult, that is, to do everything possible to force Lao Sanqian to show up and do it, and at the same time to prevent the rat demon from detecting that Zhao Huang was opening the altar outside the city to instigate the qi of heaven and earth.

And the end result is obvious to all. Lao Sanqian was attacked by three thunderbolts and arrows successively, and finally his soul was scattered, his body and spirit were destroyed, and there was only one demon pill left, which fell into the hands of Zhao Xiao.

In addition, Zhao Xiao also sent a letter to mobilize the 800 elite soldiers of the Wukui Army, but unlike what the county commander knows, this army is not to go to the countryside to recruit Ding and eradicate the rebellious party, but is responsible for killing those rats who have escaped from the city, and killing the rest of the little demons as much as possible.

"This three thousand is so powerful, then why did you ...... in the first place" The lieutenant wanted to say but stopped.

Zhao Xiao smiled: "I also asked you at the beginning, why did you smash the shrine, but the rat demon didn't retaliate. Now that I think about it, maybe Qiaozhang Village really has some kind of immortal family protection, which scared those rat demons and didn't dare to make waves. ”

The lieutenant kept his mouth shut, Zhao Xiao knew in his heart, Lao Sanqian avoided Qiaozhang Village, only because Chiyundu was more threatening, rather than pretending to be a ghost in the countryside and provoking Chiyundu to punish the evil and destroy the temple, it was better to go to the densely populated county town. This place is more prosperous and rich, there are more rats, and it is also suitable for the three thousand business forces.

The only thing Zhao Xiao didn't expect was that the Xinglong County Order would dare to claim that the Qianjin Daxian was the god of the Huaxu Kingdom's rituals, and it was also somewhat related to the Chongxuan Pavilion. Thinking that such a lowly monster should be compared to a city god like Hengbi Gong, Zhao Xiao was a little annoyed, and he thought that the three thunderbolts were not strong enough.

"Alright, pack your things." Zhao Huang got up and said, "I asked He Dangguan to take the county order and control the government office, and now the city is estimated to be in chaos." There's a bunch of aftermath for me to deal with. ”

……

Looking at Zhao Xiao and his party who went down the mountain to return to the city, Second Brother Yu lurked in the distance and did not appear, almost blending with the dust and mud of the earth.

When Zhao Xiao walked away, Second Brother Yu withdrew the spell and quietly came to the place where Lao Sanqian was finally ambushed, and the corpse of the rat demon that had turned into charcoal had already been smashed and buried, leaving only the cobwebs scorched by lightning strikes on the ground.

"With such a power of evil, I'm afraid that only the three elders in the Red Cloud Capital can display it." Second Brother Yu leaned over to look at it, and secretly exclaimed: "Is there such an extraordinary effect on the rituals and rituals?" I've never heard of it before! ”

Just as Second Brother Yu was about to dig out the remains of the rat demon and investigate them carefully, he suddenly felt a cold killing intent approaching, so he rolled on the ground, wrapped his body in the soil, turned into a terracotta figurine, and moved along the ground to withdraw seven or eight feet away.

And where he had just gained a foothold, the three inky black sword shadows were silently intertwined, and if he couldn't dodge, he was afraid that he would have already been severely injured.

"Who's coming?" Second Brother Yu put on a posture, but the person who made the secret shot did not show up. He drank in a low voice, and the copper rings of his hands turned, and the earthy yellow light shone outward, and the earth prohibition was released, and countless dust and gravel flew in the air, slightly blocked in the shadows of the treetops.

Second Brother Yu's hand is like stepping on snow to leave marks, so that the hidden person has nothing to hide, and the dust flies by, revealing the outline of a human figure.

"Get down!"

Second Brother Yu played with both hands, and dragged the hidden person to the ground with heavy pressure. But the other party paused in mid-air, scattering a large black ink cloud, followed by more than a dozen ink-line-like sword shadows, which came from gold and stone!

Blocking the first wave of attacks one after another, Second Brother Yu was shocked to find that the other party was good at fighting, thinking that this person might be the same as himself, secretly following Zhao Xiao, and his origin was probably unusual.

Thinking of this, the second brother Yu was unwilling to reveal his identity and had no intention of fighting. The covered earth shell pounced outward, blocking a few sword shadows, and then took advantage of the situation to perform the earth escape technique, and fled without a trace in a blink of an eye.

The momentum of the battle subsided, and the ink clouds swirled and gathered, revealing a slender Jing Shi, her eyebrows were cold, looking at the direction of Second Brother Yu's escape, frowning silently. Then he turned around and disappeared into the shadows.

……

"Zhao Changshi, the rat group escaped from the city in three groups, and according to the prior arrangement, the ambush was in place, and most of them were successfully intercepted and killed."

In the Xinglong County Government Office, a military captain of Wukui came to report: "Among them, sixty-three humanoid rat demons were killed, and the rest of the rats were countless, and some of the rats fled separately and could not catch up." ”

Zhao Xiao nodded and said, "Those are ordinary rats, driven by demonic magic, and after they escape, there is no need to worry. What about the rat demon corpse? ”

The lieutenant replied: "In order to prevent the evil spirit of the disease, the remains of the rat demon are piled up in the open space outside the city. How to deal with it, please Zhao Changshi to show me! ”

As a new army, the Wu Kui Army is not only to fight with the enemy country, but also to drill and drill a variety of strategies to deal with non-human demons, and the lieutenant colonel of the army cannot only learn martial arts, even if he is not a monk in the hall, at least he must know about the magic and ghosts.

"Okay." Zhao Xiao pondered for a moment: "I will gather the people in the city, announce in public that the rat demon is pretending to be a ghost and god, and burn the corpse of the rat demon to set the record straight!" Later I will write a proclamation and have them transcribed a few copies of which you will post all over the city. ”

"Order!" The lieutenant was ordered to retire.

"Deacon Zhao, the county order has woken up." He Dangguan came to say.

"Didn't I tell you to stop being heavy-handed?" Zhao Xiao shook his head and smiled.

He Dangguan said with a bitter face: "Deacon Zhao has wronged us by saying this, the county order was taken back to the government office, and when he saw the soldiers rummaging through the cabinets, he fainted in fright on the spot. ”

"Before in the shrine, I pretended to be impeached, but it turned out to be such a soft egg?" When Zhao Xiao came to the prison, he saw the county magistrate pounce on him, kowtow again and again, and cry incessantly:

"Marquis Zhenming! Xia Guan was fascinated by that monster, and he did something wrong in a moment's confusion, and asked Zhen Minghou to save Xia Guan! ”

Zhao Xiao sneered: "What? Now know that it's wrong? And put the blame on the youkai? Do you feel that if you die without proof, you will be able to escape punishment? ”
