Chapter 24: The Tragic Kyoto Patrol
Three hundred miles west outside Shicheng, an elegant man in an official uniform was exhausted, followed by more than a dozen guards, all of whom were acquired martial artists.
Thundered
The ground shook and the mountains shook, and the groups of blue unknown demon beasts behind were chasing wildly, and at a glance, there was no boundless.
The elegant man's name is Li Zhi, a monk of the ninth layer of qi refining, and this time he patrols the heavens, passing through the Frost Fortress, with only three purposes:
The first is to promote the grace of the country and supplement the needs of local formation spirit stones.
The second is to assist the small northern cities to resist the tide of beasts and try to ensure the safety of the people.
The third is to gang up and choose supporters for the eldest prince behind him, after all, the lord of Nanzhao is already old, and I am afraid that time is running out.
"This ice beast is so hateful, it's simply incomprehensible."
Li Zhi cursed in his heart, he originally led a hundred acquired martial artists to come to Shicheng to support, it stands to reason that even if he encounters a beast tide, he can raid, who knows that this year, these ice beasts who don't know how to form seem to have wisdom, they actually know how to retreat as advance.
I thought that I could annihilate the beast tide and become famous in one fell swoop, but Li Zhi was deeply encircled, thanks to the fact that he carried a three-grade attack spirit rune, he rushed out, but it is a pity that the more than eighty guards of the Son of Heaven who died, and the punishment will inevitably be true after going back, even if Confucianism is the state religion, the Son of Heaven has three thousand guards, and he can get the help of the guards, which is no less than the cooperation of many middle-level Qi refining cultivators.
roar
At this time, another beast roar came from behind, the sound was dull, and the huge body was about a foot high, and every step made the ground shake.
The ice-blue scales reflected the cold glow in the sunlight, and the four pillar-like legs were thick and long, like a war elephant covered in scales and armor.
The two men beside Li Zhi clenched their fists and stopped, and said respectfully: "Although Master Li keeps moving forward, my two brothers stay behind." ”
Then the two Son of Heaven guards launched a suicide attack, but unfortunately in the face of the huge ice elephant, the bones were lost after a few tramples.
"Abominable"
Li Zhi gritted his teeth and glanced back, seeing an ice sculpture with a wingspan of more than two feet in the air, he couldn't help but change his face, and in desperation, he had to leave the rest of the people behind, and he took out a magic talisman from the storage bag and slapped it on his leg, and immediately accelerated towards Shicheng.
The rest of the Son of Heaven guards were not afraid, there were guards with bows and arrows on their backs, and guards with shields stood in front of them, fighting for opportunities for their comrades, and everyone shouted: "Heaven is clear, people's hearts are burning, and Nanzhao will never be destroyed......"
At this moment, the white Haoran righteousness surged, the thick pillar of light soared into the sky, there were inexplicable reading voices around and chanting and singing, and the hundreds of ice beasts in the front suddenly shattered, except for the huge ice bird in the air and the huge ice statue on the ground that hit wildly, and finally drowned everything.
"Damn, I didn't expect to realize Haoran righteousness in the end."
Li Zhi, who fled for his life in front, also had a heroic righteousness on his body, turning into wings, although he couldn't fly, but he jumped more than ten feet, ran at a low altitude like the wind, and soon stayed away from the danger area, his elegant face was a little hideous, and he muttered: "Fortunately, it's not in Kyoto, if people know that I destroyed more than a dozen Confucian and Taoist seeds, I'm afraid that I won't be removed from my reputation and swept away......"
……
An hour later, the soldiers guarding the west gate of Shicheng were waiting for the battle, remembering that there was a demon beast robbery in the city a year ago, and it was rumored that it was a demon robbery, which made a courtyard in Shangcheng District sink several feet, so the soldiers did not dare to relax at all, to prevent unknown demon clans from mixing into it.
"Head, can a madman outside also cultivate immortals? Why can't we work so hard? Zhou Yan, the soldier guarding the city, asked his captain, but the bow and arrow in his hand did not relax, and he kept staring at the unknown man outside.
The ten-master Hu Mang smiled and said: "Little rabbit cub, cultivating immortals must have spiritual roots, how can you cultivate this thing without it, just like if you don't have the following thing, can you pass on the ancestry?" However, our martial arts practice is just as powerful, even if Lao Qin in the city cultivates to the sixth level of qi refining, it is not the same as being rubbed on the ground by Lao Wang with his fists. ”
Zhou Yan, who was in his early twenties, complained: "God is too unfair, the spiritual root is too mysterious!" ”
Hu Mang glanced at the madman outside, and pondered again: "You are wrong, this is the fairest place to cultivate immortals, whether the bloodline is noble or poor, the spiritual root is a special random appearance, if you are reincarnated well, you can cultivate, otherwise even if it is a relative of the emperor, it will be finished for decades." ”
"Just like this madman outside, even if he has a problem with his brain, he can cultivate as long as he has a spiritual root, which is what the book says about the unkindness of heaven and earth, and the use of all things as dogs."
Gao Yan said with a smile: "I still have a culture, and I still know the scriptures." ”
Hu Mang touched the long hair on his cheek and sighed: "It's not that my wife can't be idle, she loves to worship Buddha and ask for incense, and often goes outside to burn incense in Taoist temples, otherwise I wouldn't have bought so many scriptures at home, and it tastes boring like dung balls......"
"Head, otherwise I'll tease this madman below, even if there is a city protection formation, he can't get in, but it's not a way for Lao Lai to be below, it will affect the city's appearance."
Zhou Yan proposed, seeing that the ten-master nodded, he shouted at the bottom: "Hey! Does the one below know how to spell? It's the kind that changes into a living person, or you change into a dragon robe or something, so that we can increase our knowledge, otherwise how can you be sure that you are really a big official from above? ”
burst
Li Zhi under the city was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood when he heard this, and he was already seriously injured, but he didn't know when he lost his patrol token, and he was entangled by the group of soldiers in front of him.
If it weren't for the storage bag on his waist full of spirit stones, a full 100,000 spirit stones, this is for the sake of the stone city located in the north, often attacked by blizzard ice beasts, the conditions are difficult, and the special support, the other cities will only have one or two thousand spirit stones enough to consume the city protection formation for ten years.
"I deserve it, Li Zhi is unlucky this year."
Li Zhi took a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and then with his luck and spiritual power, he pinched the trick with one hand, and a three-foot Qingfeng sword appeared, which was the standard gentleman's sword of the academy, ranking among the middle-grade magic weapons, and began to attack the city gate frantically.
Snort!
At this time, due to the insufficient reserves of spirit stones, the defense of the city protection formation was weakened, so the light curtain of the formation was crumbling, which was also the reason for arranging soldiers to strengthen the garrison.
"Go and report to the city lord, just say that there are demons attacking the city."
The ten-division commander Hu Mang greeted, bent the bow and set up the arrows, and shot downward, one after another with the forbidden arrows have the miraculous effect of breaking the shield, which is the most suitable for dealing with those monsters with rough skin and thick flesh and scale armor, and it is used to attack Li Zhi at this time, and it seems that the effect is also good.
Woohoo
Dozens of spiritual arrows fell, the spiritual power shield on Li Zhi's body was broken, the whole person was knocked away, and blood marks appeared on his chest, looking extremely miserable.
"A few of you are waiting for me, the old man is on patrol, when have you been wronged like this!"
Li Zhi retreated dozens of feet, looked up to the sky and sighed, his nose was sour for a while, remembering that he had studied in the academy for several years, won the imperial examination, and became famous in Kyoto.
"Fellow Daoist, do you want to take a medicine first?"
Song Ke, who was about to go to the prison early in the morning, saw this scene and wanted to make a good fate, leaving a spirit pill to float away, and Zhengda Guangming entered the city from the city gate.
"How dare you insult me!"
Li Zhi looked at the Hui Ling Pill, which had little spiritual power left, it was almost the same as the waste pill in Kyoto, and he originally had a good impression of the beautiful boy with a gloomy temperament, but suddenly his chest hurt, and under the blockage of qi and blood, his eyes went black and he fainted.
