246: Dark sky
Zhao Yingyun told He Jindou about his thoughts, and the two discussed the details with each other and made some plans.
But Zhao Yingyun knew that he could prepare, but all possible accidents would ultimately be Master Xun.
The time soon came to the evening of the next day.
Zhao Yingyun and the snake demon followed the wind to a mountain hundreds of miles outside Xutang Pass.
"Where did the negative cloud Daoist go this day, it really has no trace, like nothingness, if it weren't for the poor Dao who has really seen the Daoist, I'm afraid that I will think that the negative cloud Daoist is just an illusion in the dream of the poor Dao."
The snake demon and Zhao Chengyun were on this nameless mountain at this time.
Zhao Yingyun stood on top of the mountain on the earth and rocks, but the snake demon was floating in the air with the wind.
At this time, he did not look long, on the contrary, he was a little petite, and the lower part of the entire snake body was gathered with a cloud of white mist, covering the lower half of his body, as if he was wearing a half-length robe made of clouds.
Zhao Yingyun smiled and said, "The world is like a dream, who knows that we are not in a dream now?" ”
"Well, I once met an elder who had been sleeping in his dreams for many years, and as soon as he approached, he would fall into his dreams, and he could only meet him in his dreams." The snake demon said with the wind.
"Oh, there are such elders, if one day, I would like to see them." Zhao Yingyun said.
"If there is such a day, the poor Dao will meet with his Taoist friends in a dream." The snake demon readily agreed.
Zhao Yingyun once heard people say that when a thing is a thing, others agree very happily, there are only two possibilities, one is that the matter is just a trivial matter for the other party, and it can be done easily, and the other is that the other party has never thought about completing it, just a verbal promise.
Zhao Yingyun grinned, smiled brightly, and said: "I'm really looking forward to it, but that's all in the future, now, what should we do?" ”
"Just draw it out. We are 100 miles away from Xutang Pass, and those grass-headed soldiers can't see us. The snake demon said with the wind.
"At night, the yin qi is strong, those grass-headed soldiers, I think it will be more powerful at night, let's go at this time, is it okay?" Zhao Yingyun asked.
"At night, the grass soldiers in Xutang Pass will turn into people, and they can't tell which ones are grass soldiers and which human beings, and it is precisely because of this that Xu Hongyu will be careless, and he will lead the grass soldiers to rush out of Xutang Pass, as long as we kill Xu Hongyu, everything will be decided." The snake demon said with the wind.
"Where?" Zhao Yingyun asked.
"That's it." The snake demon said with the wind.
"What if he doesn't come?" Zhao Yingyun asked.
"If he doesn't, he will attack and kill him." The snake demon said coldly with the wind, murderous: "It is not a pity to die so that ordinary people are treated as cattle and sheep captive, and the people who died early to rescue Xutangguan are as far as I know, in the body of every grass-headed soldier, there is a person's soul who is trapped in it and cannot escape." ”
After Zhao Yingyun listened to his words, his heart was boiling, and he only felt that this person had to die, if he didn't die, he would toss and turn, couldn't settle down, and couldn't sleep steadily.
It was only at this time that he felt a sense of danger in his heart, like a rope entangled, and this invisible rope seemed to bind him.
He stood there without moving, suppressing his heart against Xu Hongyu's boiling murderous intention, his face showed anger, and said: "You should attack and kill directly, such a person should not be left to do evil in the world." ”
After Zhao Yingyun finished speaking, he got up, directly turned into a firelight, rolled up, rushed into the sky from the top of the mountain, turned into a fireball, and dragged out a long trace of fire cloud behind him.
Looking at Zhao Yingyun's appearance that he couldn't wait for a moment, the corners of the snake demon's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
He floated in the void, clouds and mist quickly gathering on his body, enveloping himself and making him invisible.
Zhao Yingyun thought about his plan in his heart.
Xu Hongyu represents the Great Zhou court, and there is a high probability that he has already used the human soul to cultivate and refine the treasure, which is not allowed in the laws of the Great Zhou, although for so many years, there are often people who do it secretly, but no one will do it openly.
From He Jindou, Zhao Zhiyun knew that Xu Hongyu actually had another identity, that is, the identity of the secret inspector of the Great Zhou Inspection Division.
His grass soldiers could be deployed everywhere and supervise the place, and he was an important member of the Great Zhou court to maintain and supervise local tranquility.
From this, he also knew that someone was going to pull out Xu Hongyu's nail.
It's just that Xu Hongyu himself may also be conniving at his wife to refine the dream fruit in the dream, which is a violation of the law of the Great Zhou.
Among the laws of the Great Zhou, there is a clause that does not use the flesh and blood of human gods and souls to refine the treasure and cultivate the law, and those who violate it will be beheaded or thrown into the heavenly prison depending on the severity of the circumstances.
It's easy to practice with his back to the imperial court, and he himself supervises others, so it's inevitable that he can't bear to practice slowly and lonely, and wants to find a shortcut.
Zhao Yingyun originally wanted He Jindou to find the chief official of the local inspection department, but He Jindou said that it was better not to, he said, the Great Zhou Inspection Department seems to have great powers, but in fact it is also very powerful, can supervise local monks, and has the right to arrest and detain.
However, when the inspection department was established from the beginning, it was already a mixture of dragons and snakes.
There are local monks, there are casual monks, and there are sect monks, so people from various forces are entangled, and it's like a sieve, and if someone wants to be arrested, the other party will get the news very quickly.
Therefore, He Jindou said that if he went to find the chief officer of the local inspection department, he would know before he arrived at Xutangguan.
Moreover, Xu Hongyu is a person from the Inspection Division, and it is not difficult for local monks to know.
It is said that Xu Hongyu had contact with a certain prince in the capital.
I don't know how this news came out, maybe it was him, or it could be someone else.
Anyway, there must be a purpose, if it is himself, it is to add a talisman to himself, if it is someone else, it is to help him add a potential enemy.
What Zhao Chengyun is thinking about now is to detain this Xu Hongyu first, at that time, the person behind this snake demon must come out and kill himself, just to see who else is behind the snake demon.
It's a very simple and straightforward way.
When he told Master Xun about his plan, Master Xun only said the word 'may'.
Zhao Yingyun turned into a huge fireball, came to Xutang Pass with great momentum, and suddenly exploded, and in an instant, in this twilight sun, a rain of fire fell towards the city.
And in the city, a roar sounded at the right time.
"You dare to come here, I'm going to kill you."
A person rushed out of the Chengguan Mansion, he held a pagoda in his hand, rushed into the sky, and at the same time raised his hand to throw, the lock spirit town demon tower had already flown out, turning into a yellow light flying above Zhao Chengyun's head, the tower body in the void quickly appeared, the moment of appearance, to lock the spirit of the demon.
Zhao Yingyun felt a strong danger, so his body weakened, turned into a rainbow light, and flew away into the distance.
It's just that his escape is not continuous, after escaping for a while, he will reveal his body again, like his escape technique consumes a huge amount of money, and he can only escape for a while, so he needs to keep showing and stop casting spells.
Xu Hong chased after him again and again, as if he would be able to put the people in front of him into the tower immediately.
Just after Xu Hongyu came out of Xutang Pass, a figure walked in from outside the pass, he was dressed in a gossip robe, holding a finger dust, wearing a black Taoist hat, and a faint smile on his face.
He wants to go in and get the 'order talisman' of the soldier master of Xutang Pass.
He couldn't help but sigh that his planning in the past few years has been realized today, and his heart is inevitably a little fluttering.
He knew very well why Xu Hongyu rushed out of Xutang Pass so irrationally, because he ate the dream fruit, although he could improve his cultivation, it would also make people extreme, impulsive, irritable, and lose their minds.
That's why it's easy to be lured out.
In Xutang Pass, there are two things he wants to obtain, one is the 'talisman' of the grass head soldier master, and the other is to enter the spirit grass secret mansion and pick a nightmare grass, which is of great help to his cultivation.
And this grass head soldier master's 'talisman' can be refined into an extremely powerful magic weapon, and he is even sure to refine it into a spiritual treasure.
As he walked down the street, he noticed that the grass-headed soldiers were in the process of turning into real people, so he quickened his pace.
No one saw him, because he walked down the street as if in a dream.
came to the front of the Chengguan Mansion, without the slightest hesitation, and then through the gap, and soon in front of a secret room.
He knew that this was the place where the Grass Soldier Master's 'Talisman' was placed.
Of course, the 'talisman' is not a real token talisman, but a straw man, which is said to have been woven from the body of the king of the grass man country, and has been worshiped here for many years, and every soldier master has controlled the grass man in the city through it.
He believed that with a little effort, he would be able to refine it into a spiritual treasure.
Of course, there were no gaps in the secret room, but when he saw the door, his eyes were filled with fog, and the door seemed to be in his dream, so he naturally passed through the crack in the door of the secret room.
The moment he entered it, his whole body froze, as if he had entered a snake cave, his whole body was numb, and it was like falling into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.
Because he saw that there were people in it.
There were two people.
A woman with a stick of incense in her hand is worshipping a straw figure in a shrine.
The woman was dressed in a black robe, with a black silk draped over her back, and an unusually striking red crown on her head.
He didn't see the nun's face, for his gaze quickly turned to the side again, and next to him was a man covered in silver radiance.
No, it's not a human, it's a silver-armored corpse golem.
This is, this is the silver-armored corpse puppet that Zhao Zhiyun brought, how could it be here?
His mind was a little confused for a moment.
Immediately afterward, I saw a black vortex surging in the eyes of the silver-armored corpse puppet.
He was terrified.
He was going to retreat, he was going to get out of this door.
It's just that his back hits the door of the secret room.
He was anxious and quickly adjusted his mentality.
"Everything is like a dream, everything is in my dream...... everything is like a dream, everything is in my dream......"
He had this in mind, to turn it all into a dream.
However, the eyes of the silver-armored corpse puppet firmly sucked his soul thoughts.
He found himself sinking deeper and deeper into the whirlpool, and slowly, the whirlpool seemed to become a dream for him.
One part of his consciousness was telling him that it was not a dream, it was the enemy's spell, and another part of his consciousness was telling him that it was all just his own nightmare, that he had a nightmare, that he had a nightmare, that he would be fine if he relaxed, and that he would be fine if he had a good night's sleep.
After the nun had finished praying, she stretched out her fingers, bit their fingertips, and smeared blood on the straw man's facial features.
The straw man's face suddenly became hideous, but after the nun pointed her finger on the center of its eyebrows, her expression slowly calmed down and slowly became docile.
At this time, the straw men in the city all looked towards the side of Chengguan Mansion.
After a while, he turned back again, and the body of the straw man slowly turned into a person.
Men and women, young and old, began to walk through the streets and alleys of the city.
At this time, as soon as the nun in the secret room stretched out her hand, the straw man on the shrine seemed to be alive, jumped onto her palm, and quickly shrunk into a pocket straw man.
And the Taoist who was leaning against the door lost focus of his eyes.
After a long while, he stood up a little dazed.
I saw him stretch out his hand, and this secret door suddenly twisted, as if in a dream, it became unreal, so he walked through it, and the nun and the silver-armored corpse puppet also passed through.
As soon as they walked through, the door recovered from its vain twist.
They walked through the corridors, passing by the maids, not real people, but grass-headed soldiers, who not only did not stop them, but saluted the women.
The nun came to a temple-shaped house in the middle of the house, where there was a shrine.
The altar was empty, and there should have been a tower here.
The name of that tower is the Demon Tower of Lock Spirit Town.
But now it was taken away.
After the nun looked around, the silver-armored corpse puppet that had been following her came to the left corner of the south and stood still.
She found a chair and sat down in the corner to the right of the south.
On that altar, there is a painting of an evil ghost opening its mouth, facing the door, as if it wants to suck in the yang energy of the world, and it looks like it is struggling when it is about to die after not being able to breathe.
The other sides of the altar are carved with dense runes, and the lines in them finally converge on the altar, where there is a carved stone mirror.
The stone mirror is engraved with two words - Yongmi.
And the Taoist wearing the gossip Taoist robe stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone mirror, and the void rippled, and in his eyes, this family temple seemed to sink into his dream.
Then I saw him like a well jumping into the water, and he drilled into the stone mirror, and in an instant he disappeared into it.
At this moment, the sky outside quickly darkened, like a black curtain, covering the sky.
No matter how dark the sky is, it is impossible not to have a little light, not to mention that it is not completely dark, there is still residual light between heaven and earth, and it is the time when the world holds the lamp.
But at this time, between heaven and earth, suddenly the black stretched out his hand and couldn't see his five fingers.
Immediately after, an excited voice sounded in the darkness.
"I really didn't expect that Tiandu Mountain really came to a golden pill, what a surprise!"
"And it's also a new Jin Dan, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that my Night Star actually had the opportunity to participate in the cause of killing two Tiandu Mountain Jin Dan in a row, my Night Star, after all, I want to break into a big career and a big reputation."
The voice of this self-proclaimed night star was full of irrepressible excitement and restlessness.
