Chapter 16: The Head of the Quail
In the county office, it is already a ruined wall.
The house collapsed, and the man-thick pillar broke from it, and the broken branches and leaves of the old locust tree flew everywhere, leaving only half of the bare trunk. And no matter what it is, it is densely covered with traces of being sharply cut.
There were no lights in the courtyard, and it seemed to be empty.
Shen Yanping's body had been cut in unimaginable ways, leaning against the corner of the wall in disfigurement.
Pei Ye moved down Cheng Feng's body and put it together with Shen Yanping.
There were still more than a dozen white-robed people and the corpses of the tolerance people lying in the courtyard, and there were even two martial arts hall masters, who should have rushed to reinforce after seeing the water dragon.
Judging from the tragedy of the scene, there may have been a chance of victory, but in the end it was unfortunate to prevail.
Pei Ye walked quickly through the courtyard and came to the room where he had stayed before, which was also eroded by the current, but after all, it was in the backyard, and the damage was not serious.
Pei Ye found the wine and medicine he brought from under the overturned table and chair, took out a dark brown ball from the cloth bag, and swallowed it with the wine.
Soon, like a fire burning in the abdomen, it melted the hundred cold iron needles, and the burning pain gradually rose, replacing the colic that was about to break out in the second wave.
Pei Ye leaned against the wall and took a few deep breaths, the rosy return to his face, and then he stood up and walked back to the hall.
The roof collapsed diagonally due to the breaking of one column, but the remaining three still held up a piece of space.
Pei Ye dug through the ruins and didn't find Chang Zhiyuan's body, perhaps before a more fierce battle broke out, Lord Shen asked him to leave.
There was no trace of the soul bird, but the jade box fell under the table, and Pei Li picked it up, and there were two letterheads inside.
With the lights on, Pei Ye took out one and put it under his eyes.
Shen Changjian said:
Fenghuai was already aware of the danger, but a few days ago, Shenjing wrote a letter, saying that a team of special envoys had arrived in our state on a mission, and they must fully cooperate, and Jing Duwei went to Zhengshou County to greet him this morning. When I received the letter, I immediately passed the soul bird to him, and first asked Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yizhang to help you, but I am afraid that they will not be able to be timely, so the 'little Jiaoxin' will be lost to the soul bird, hoping to temporarily solve the danger.
The heart of reading the letter is like burning, Shen Changzhen, Master Feng, Zhiyuan and my friends, take care! ”
Pei Ye put down this letterhead and picked up another one, the pen and ink on it had been replaced.
"Little Jiaoxin......" Pei Ye muttered, perusing the second letterhead again.
The first sentence was: "Shen Yanping, Xiao Jiaoxin has been soaked in water and wrapped, and can be used directly." ”
Further down is a long gap followed by a new section.
"If Shen Changjian has suffered an accident, please use 'Xiao Jiaoxin' according to the following book.
Xiao Jiao's heart refining self-nourishing Yilou warlock, usually sealed in a state of dehydration, before using it needs to be soaked in water to make it 'live', the soaking time is affected by the concentration of aura in the water.
When using, it must be wrapped and swallowed in the abdomen with a specific talisman, and its magic is two: one is called 'Jiao muscle', which can strengthen the body, the knife does not enter the bones, and the force carries the five oxen;
The two spells are called binding crocodiles, which can be trapped by water; The second is to break the turtle, which can turn water into a blade. If you don't have spiritual power, you must use it in a place where there is enough water, and the effect varies from person to person.
Note 1: If you don't have the experience of casting spells, don't try to use the two water spells!
Note 2: 'Little Jiaoxin' must be used by a Meridian Tree Warrior of the Fourth Life and above. If there is no true qi to protect the body, even if the talisman is wrapped, the 'little Jiaoxin' will erode the five internal organs. If the imperial envoy wants to stay alive, the minimum must not be less than two lives.
Note 3: Even if you are eligible to use it, you must use another talisman within two hours of entering the abdomen, which is attached to the bottom of the box and is activated with the blood of the person who swallowed it, and can be used three times. Once it is more than two hours, within ten days, you will either find a warlock from Yangyilou to perform a spell, or find a doctor from Taishan Yaolu to cut your abdomen and cut your flesh. If this time limit is exceeded, and the human beads are united, only the gods can be saved. ”
"Magic Weapon ......" Even though he had a guess in his heart, Pei Ye was still speechless for a while.
This kind of thing, which has only been heard of in the story, is so real in the world.
Turning over the bottom of the box, there was indeed a talisman with a gold pen on a black background.
Pei Ye took out this talisman, came to Shen Yanping's side, half-knelt on the ground, took one last look at the hideous face covered with blood, pulled out the dagger, and pierced it into his abdomen.
Cut open the belly, and the appearance inside is shocking.
Shen Yanping undoubtedly has the qualifications of the imperial envoy Xiao Jiaoxin, but after death, there is naturally no true qi to protect the body, and this walnut-sized magic weapon is like a seed rooted in the soil, stretching out its roots and piercing into the flesh and blood.
The yellow talisman that enveloped it had not been punctured, but was still attached to the sticking tendrils of some stretching substance, preventing them from coming into direct contact with flesh.
Pei Ye took out the black talisman and dipped it with a little Shen Yanping's blood, but fortunately it was still effective, and between the flow of golden light, the black pen talisman with a yellow background wrapped around Xiao Jiao's heart was like a milk swallow throwing itself into its nest, dragging Xiao Jiao's heart away from the flesh and blood.
Catching this artifact, the roots and shoots on it were still wriggling and swaying.
According to the time, Lord Shen died less than two quarters of an hour, and during this time of losing his true qi, Xiao Jiaoxin almost parasitized his stomach. He has no true qi, and he should be the same as Lord Shen's corpse, and he can support Xiao Jiao's heart for half an hour at most.
It's time to go to the black-robed man.
Pei Ye got up and just took a step, but he stepped on something under his feet, which was exposed from the bottom of Shen Yanping's robe, Pei Ye raised the lamp and lowered his head to pick it up.
But it was a thin booklet, and the moment the yellow cover was on the light of the oil lamp, the sense of familiarity in Pei Li's mind exploded, and the whole person was stunned.
"The Legend of Mountains and Seas" ......" Pei Ye muttered, he rummaged through the book that he didn't find in the public house, and it turned out to be on Shen Yanping's body.
Turning the first page, the author of the signature is Jin Du Wuzhen, who didn't care about it when he was a child, but this time the name made Pei Li's eyes condense slightly.
- "I have found all the books of Du Wuzhen, and the rest are still being consulted. ”
No wonder...... Pei Li's mind is swaying, this is the "fate method......
Flipping through the pages quickly, this book is actually a picture book that depicts the appearance of various strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, without too much text, no wonder I liked to read it when I was young.
Finally, Pei Ye pressed a page, and the vague memory was found.
The content of this page is clear at a glance, with a phoenix-like firebird painted on it, and a small line of text below, which is "Kunlun Hill, there are birds, and its name is quail, which is the hundred clothes of the emperor." ”
It is here that the memory of the "quail" originates.
At first glance, a simple painting, just a dozen words, does not seem to have any information that can be linked to [Quail Head].
Pei Li looked closely, Du Wuzhen's pen was indeed quite charming, the quail's head was slightly lowered, looking calm and elegant, but there was nothing unusual in other than that.
But when his gaze moved to his wings, Pei Li's eyes jumped, and a dangerous sense of familiarity flashed, and his cold hair stood up in an instant.
This felt for no reason, Pei Ye frowned and looked again, but felt that the quail bird in this painting suddenly had a human demeanor.
It bows its head, pulls its right wing, and spreads its left wing on its chest, like an old monk, it is in ...... What do you worship?
The ghost made a miracle, and Pei Ye felt that he suddenly recognized the movement of the wings. He slowly raised his left hand, his tail finger cocked, and his thumb pinched the lower knuckle of his middle finger and placed it under his chin.
This mudra is so unfamiliar, why would I be-
His thoughts suddenly stalled due to shock, and Pei Ye was stunned.
Everything slowed down.
The flame of the oil lamp in his hand seemed to dance slowly, and the raindrops beside him crawled down from the sky like snails, and a birdsong lengthened his throat......
His mind became extremely clear, and all the dynamics around him were clear in his eyes.
"Quail is the emperor's hundred clothes", this ability to sort out the emperor's hundred things in an orderly manner was given to the boy at this time, and the world was like a fire in front of him.
Pei Ye took out this handprint again in a daze, this strange state suddenly subsided, and Pei Ye fell back to the real world.
The flames were still swaying and jumping in the wind, the raindrops were falling tightly, and the birds were chirping rapidly......
Pei Ye looked at his hand: "This is ...... [Quail Head]?" ”
He was well aware that it was not a dream, and that this fairy-like ability was very real in him.
At this moment, a distant and lofty call suddenly rose from his heart, and Pei Ye suddenly turned his head to look at the west of the city.
The ceremony began.
The activated Quail Head has worked.
Pei Ye obviously felt the soul-losing call this time, but he was not affected in the slightest, he felt that he could even cut this connection at any time, just like last night, and let the "god" lose his purpose.
Vitality is so palpable.
The black-robed man was heading to the west of the city, and the ceremony was also held in the west of the city, and he could sense the position that called him, just as they could sense their own position at this time.
There are still horses in the backyard, and as long as they cut off contact and leave the west of the city far away, they will never find themselves again.
Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly chuckled.
