Chapter 426: Ambush
"Where have you been?"
"I'm on a horse!"
"And then?"
"The horse didn't know what frightened him, so he left me and ran away, and then I walked back!"
Dong Zhongshu and the others retreated tactically, and waited until Wen Weng recovered his state before going to look for the snake, and the two only saw a muddy place.
In that muddy place, the snake disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a trace of the opponent's huge body crushing the ground.
This made Dong Zhongshu melancholy in the county guard mansion for a night.
And Wen Weng also spent a night in the county guard's mansion.
The difference is that the former lamented that he had lost the opportunity to step into the realm of self-righteousness, and his fate was full of ups and downs, while Wen Weng was worried about the hidden dangers brought by the snake to Shu County.
The two also hoped that Zhang Xuezhou, the last monk to return, had some relevant information, but the result of the inquiry was very disappointing.
Zhang Xuezhou jumped at the rear, didn't do the work, and lost the horse.
Shu County, which was not wealthy, lost two horses in this battle, and one horse went crazy after breaking its tail.
But the loss of the county guard was secondary, and thinking about the bulging belly of the snake, Wen Weng felt that the bad news would be reported soon.
And this also requires them to dispose of the snake as soon as possible.
"Brother Zhongshu, I'm afraid that this matter needs to be reported to the imperial court immediately," Wen Weng frowned.
"It will take at least a month for you to report to the imperial court before you can reply," Dong Zhongshu said, "The more troublesome problem is that no one will come to help kill the snake!"
"How is it impossible for anyone to come to such a great thing that afflicts a place?"
"Whoever you say?"
"Our Han Manchu Dynasty Civil and Military ......"
Wen Weng's face was just slightly angry, but when he recalled the faces of many civil and military officials in the imperial court, he felt that few people could come.
If it is said that Zhou Taiwei is diligent in government, Zhou Taiwei is dead.
Prime Minister Liu She adheres to the philosophy of not doing well, he is extremely wise and self-protecting, and he will not run thousands of miles away at all, and even Dong Zhongshu mentioned that the other party's status is unstable, and he was reprimanded by Emperor Jing several times.
And the imperial historian is not suspicious of being an official and low-key restraint, everything is done according to the previous system, the other party just wants to defend Chang'an City, and it is impossible to have the idea of coming to Shu County to make branches.
The military generals involved in the imperial court, Cheng Buzhi, Li Guang and others did not belong to the normal scope of transfer.
As for further down, when Wen Weng looked at Wei Qihou Dou Ying, Wu'an Hou Tian Wei and others, he only felt that it was impossible for these imperial relatives to come to do hard work.
It seems that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, but there are very few people who can come to Shu County.
Emperor Jing sighed in the past that no one was available, and Wen Weng somehow felt that few people were available at this time.
"If only I had a lower strength!"
Wen Weng finally sighed.
If he was just a Divine Ability Realm monk, there might be more than 20 Solipse Realm monks in the imperial court who would come, but he had the strength of the Solips Realm and could not solve the problem, and any monk of the same rank would hesitate again and again when he took over the problem.
"You're a little lower? What if someone is not as capable as yours?" Dong Zhongshu woke up and said, "Don't think about that matter!"
"Zhao Juan, Wang Zang and the others are a step above me," Wen Weng said, "They will definitely be able to solve the problem."
"Those two old guys can't ride horses, they can only sit in a flat carriage, and it's okay to cast spells in the city, but I'm afraid it's ...... to cast spells after running around in the wild."
Dong Zhongshu stretched out his hands and did not continue.
Compared with monks like Wen Weng, other monks are more unbearable, and as they get older, many monks also find it difficult to endure the hardships of running around.
Shu County is not near Chang'an City, if it is near Chang'an City, all the civil and military officials will be tired of running for hundreds of miles.
Thousands of miles apart, there are many poor mountains and rivers on the road, Dong Zhongshu came to take more than a month, and it will take even longer for others to come.
And such a long time is enough for the snake to run wild.
Ruoba Snake's target is set in Shu County City, and it is not surprising that the people of this city will be eaten up when they are rescued.
Solve the problem of the snake only
If Wen Weng, Dong Zhongshu and others can figure out a way, the means of asking for help from the imperial court will not have half an effect, and that little bit of distant water will not be able to save this near fire in Shu County City.
"The most important thing at the moment is to find the whereabouts of the snake," Dong Zhongshu said, "and then let's see if we can set up an ambush!"
The biggest reason for last night's rush to break its wings was the collision halfway, and this kind of short-distance rapid contact rarely gave the magician time to cast the spell.
And the size and strength of the snake were too different from what Wen Weng had previously described, which also caught the two off guard.
The environment of dark nights and heavy rain brings a harsh environment for spellcasting.
For a variety of reasons, killing the snake fell short.
"This demon is too large, I'm afraid it will be difficult to set up an ambush," Wen Weng frowned.
"Not to mention setting a trap to trap the snake, if you cast a spell to clamp it down for a moment, my spell can also break its head!"
If there are enough external auxiliary conditions, Dong Zhongshu believes that he still has the ability to defeat the snake.
He is not a master on paper like Wen Weng, but a real master of actual combat.
The higher the realm, the difficulty of the cultivation technique can be increased, and the greater the power it will bring, but this must also be able to cultivate the technique, and even use it to the point of being handy.
If he plays against Wen Weng in pairs, as long as he keeps a certain distance, he can simply defeat the opponent.
For the same chaotic and unintelligent snake, Dong Zhongshu still has enough confidence.
The snake's large size is an advantage for many people, but for some spellcasters, it's a big enough target to hit with their eyes closed.
After the first contact, Dong Zhongshu believes that he will never make the same mistake the second time.
"The people from the county guard have gone to patrol the Taipingyan to check, and once they find the traces of the snake, they will pass it back," Wen Weng nodded and replied, "I'll think about the ambush carefully!"
Wen Weng and Dong Zhongshu finished discussing the relationship, and then left in a hurry with their palms in their hands.
"It seems that this Wenjun Shou is a little reluctant to cast spells on the snake!"
Seeing Wen Weng leaving in a hurry, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but sigh.
"His technique is almost ineffective against the snake, and he has never tried to turn water into a prison," Dong Zhongshu said, "But it takes at least half a stick of incense to turn water into a prison, but if he sets up an ambush, he is trying his life!"
"I think Wenjun's cultivation is very high, why is his actual combat ability not as strong as yours?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"He attaches great importance to the realm and not to the arts, and he has an empty realm and lacks the techniques to take advantage of, but this is also the most common cultivation method in our Han Kingdom" Dong Zhongshu said: "The techniques that are cultivated when the realm level is low are almost useless when they are in the high realm, and most people don't want to waste time in useless spells."
"I think some low-end techniques are quite useful," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"There are six hundred and eighty-three low-end techniques in our Han Kingdom under the True Spirit Realm, but the effect of each technique is not as good as directly slashing with a knife" Dong Zhongshu said, "What kind of low-end technique do you say is quite useful?"
"I've learned a Halal technique, and I think it's quite useful."
"You don't regard the second-grade high-grade technique as a low-end technique, even if it is the first part, it is a high-level technique."
Dong Zhongshu pursed his lips, feeling that what Zhang Xuezhou said was beyond the scope of a normal monk.
For normal monks, most of them can only come into contact with low-end techniques such as "Yin Matter Tracing Technique" and "Small Spark Technique" in the early stage of cultivation.
These techniques are purely hands-on skills, and are rarely used to adapt.
And the technique mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou is already a heavy technique, which is a level that is difficult for normal monks to touch.
This kind of heavy art belongs to the control of the military, and second, this kind of magic cannot be spread wantonly.
For example, Zhang Xuezhou's Tai Qing Technique requires constant recovery of injuries in order to have the possibility of improving the ability of the technique, and once it spreads wantonly, there will inevitably be monks who artificially create injuries to practice.
Today's execution, tomorrow's arms, the day after tomorrow's heart.
As long as it can bring enough rewards, the dark side of some monks' hearts will inevitably expand rapidly, and they will do whatever it takes to master these useful techniques to the extreme.
Zhang Xuezhou asked a few words puzzled, and when Dong Zhongshu explained, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but be shocked.
In the past, Ren Wuxuan told Zhang Xuezhou not to wantonly spread the spiritual strengthening article, and then Dong Zhongshu said that the spread of advanced techniques should be strictly controlled.
Zhang Xuezhou originally thought that this belonged to the high-level control of knowledge circulation, but he really forgot the multifaceted diversity of people.
The consequences of unbridled dissemination are inevitably a catastrophe that will not disappear.
