Chapter 16 Beidou letter lamp

The snow gradually became smaller with the glimmer of the morning light shining through the clouds, but the wind was still blowing, and the curls were whistling and rushing straight to the face, like a knife cut.

More terrible than the cold, is Luoyang City is about to face the incoming enemy, the demon war is about to be the warning of the body of every demon warrior has made every demon warrior tense strings, but once it became a reality, there was a little stunned trance, the ancient tribe and the demons of the past of the fierce battle has become a silent history in memory, and since entering the era of the Wanghua Rite Sect, human beings have never had the experience of large-scale battles with demons, even if they are specialized in subduing demons and subduing demons, the construction that can be given at this time is only based on piecemeal experience。

The soldiers trained by Shen Jin are still usable, although there are still people with a look of fear and horror on their faces, but most of them have calmed down, especially after Ji Rui Xue Yang's earnest teaching that he can barely stop talking all night, a large number of well-made city defense equipment have been pushed to the forefront of the battlements, especially the single hard crossbow with a stumbling and waist stretch and the ballista that can catapult stone giant arrows are the most, a pot of boiling oil soup is bubbling, and the city head has also lit as many fire sources as possible, saltpeter, Sulfur and charcoal wood were placed in barrels, and the barrels were covered with thick quilts to prevent dampness due to wind and snow; Originally, there were people who wanted to use the legendary things to ward off evil spirits, such as black dog blood, but they looked at Wushi for a long time, but they didn't dare to bring it up.

Judging from last night's hand-to-hand combat, the human war is not completely ineffective against demons, especially the use of fire, if you add the help of the disciples of the Qianjia family, it may not be impossible to fight with the demons in a dignified manner, but the implementation of this method depends on the number of demons attacking Luoyang, and whether they still use the tactics of suppressing the demonic power to attack and attack last night.

Qianchong's armor looked neat and shiny, because his own Xuan Jin Gang Force had been running, and the flying snow had been shaken open before he could get close, which was in stark contrast to Shen Jin, whose armor was already covered with half a cloud of snow.

By the dawn but not yet transparent morning light, Qianchong looked down from the city, it was dim and gloomy, sad and miserable, and no new movement of the demon was found.

The first noise came from the city, louder and louder, buzzing, mixed with the cries of children and the screams of women.

Is it a demon that has infiltrated the city? Qianchong's heart tightened, but he saw several officials slipping in three steps, and they ran up to the city in a very wolf manner, and whispered in their ears to meet that Luoyang Ling Cheng Yifan.

"What's wrong?" the noise made Shen Jin raise his eyes vigilantly.

Cheng Yifan's face was solemn when he heard this, and he waved his hand to let the officials go down to the city before replying: "I don't know where the news leaked, the people in the city heard about the arrival of the demons, and they made a noise and wanted to flee out of the city. ”

"It's not surprising, the demon roar last night was even heard clearly by us in the distance, and those people were woken up no matter how heavy they slept again, and the matter of Guangliang Town was spread again at that time, and the existence of demons is not a myth or legend for them, as long as you inquire a little closer, it is not difficult to know the truth of last night. Qian Chong was not surprised by this, he heard that it was not the demons who were haunting the city, so he first put half of his heart at ease, and then slapped his hand on the door of his head, "Damn, I almost forgot about it when I met the enemy in a hurry, evacuate the people immediately and let them go!." ”

Hearing Qian Chong say this, Shen Jin did not have the usual decisiveness, hesitated for a while, Cheng Yifan and he looked at him for a long time, obviously it was difficult to decide.

"Let them go?" Shen Jin finally asked Qian Chong, "Are we going to guard an empty city?"

Qianchong said very clearly: "I know what the general means, there is nothing to say about this, but now it is the demons who are coming, you forcibly leave these many people in the city, once the city is broken, how can you let these people escape? Demons will not have mercy on mortals, they will treat the people in the city as blood food to satisfy hunger, are you willing to see this kind of miserable scene?"

Cheng Yifan shuddered, glanced at Shen Jin, and did not speak.

"It's you......" Qian Chong was talking about the soldiers defending the city, "If you are wise, you should not stay here, even if you have the heart to fight, but after all, the number is too small, and there is not enough strength to fight the demons, so you can't die in vain." ”

Shen Jin frowned, this is right, although last night was a contest between the human army and the demons, and it could even be regarded as a remarkable achievement, but in a short period of time, the five hundred defenders had lost more than 100 people, this is still the result of the timely arrival of the disciples of the Qianjia, and the demons are said to have not done their best, last night was just a tentative attack, and the next attack of those demons, I don't know how it will be, even the gods of the Qianjia family have a solemn face, and they are even more unsure.

However, at this point, Shen Jin did not hesitate at all, and straightened his waist: "I ask Da Sima for orders, no matter what kind of enemy comes, I must do my best to defend this ancient capital of the Great Jin, and now I will only meet the enemy overnight, and then I will retreat and flee, isn't it a big joke?"

"What about them? they're just ordinary soldiers, and you haven't thought about what will happen to them?" Qianchong nodded at the busy sergeants at the head of the city.

Shen Jin smiled calmly: "They are all soldiers of the Great Jin Kingdom, since they choose to stay here and stay here, they have already made up their minds, death in battle is inevitable, it is only sooner or later, and as for whether they die under the knife of the Xianbei people or in the mouth of the demons and monsters, it seems that there is not much difference." ”

"I understand...... Qian Chong sighed, and then his face showed a resolute look, "You want to show the world your dignity and show that the integrity of sacrificing your life for righteousness is not an empty talk of the Jin people, very good." Qian Chong punched lightly in Shen Jin's broad chest, "And this kind of temperament, as a manifestation of human beings in front of demons, may have an extraordinary significance. ”

Cheng Yifan suddenly interjected: "I'll go here and evacuate the people." After a pause, as if adding and explaining to himself, "We will guard this empty city." ”

"Captain Zhang, take twenty people and help Master Cheng evacuate. The plan has been decided, Shen Jin did not hesitate, and ordered Zhang Xiu loudly, Zhang Xiu didn't expect Shen Jin to directly order his general, and it was the same place as the Luoyang Ling, who had never gotten along, so he couldn't help rolling his eyes, and muttered a step in his mouth.

Just before Cheng Yifan went down to the city, Shen Jin added another sentence behind him: "Master Cheng, you also go with the people, you are in charge of the people, since the people have migrated out, you don't have to accompany us to death in this empty city." ”

Cheng Yifan didn't hear it, he leaned on the edge of the wall without looking back, stepped on the muddy snow, and walked down the stairs step by step, and finally Zhang Xiu made a grimace at Shen Jin, and reluctantly followed with twenty soldiers.

......

"Actually...... Mr. Qian and a few gentlemen don't have to stay here, they helped each other last night, and taught us these ways, which is full of hospitality, you all have great magical powers, and you don't have to be like us ordinary people to spend with that kind of thing in the city. This was a kind word, but Shen Jin felt that he had to say it.

Qian Chong smiled: "General Shen, you are all good, but this is not good, you always say something insincere, this is also clumsy, you know that we have no reason to stay out of the matter......"

"No, no, Mr. Qian, I misunderstood, I think you ......" Qianchong's joke made Shen Jin serious, his face instantly turned red, and he hurriedly explained.

"Well, I was talking to you. We are here, in addition to dealing with demons, there is also a reason why we must be here! They are the demons of Fly Mountain, and we have a deep hatred and hatred, if you really drive us away, I and my junior brothers will not leave, we are all full of strength, we have to settle this old account with that guy and demon. As soon as he thought that his father had died in the conspiracy of Fly Mountain, Qian Chong felt resentful, since this is where the Fly Mountain soldiers are direct, is it more likely to see the mysterious Gray Peng Assassin?

"But here is a dangerous city, isolated and helpless......"

"Maybe it's not as bad as we thought. Qianchong's originally stern expression also eased, "It is precisely because it is the demons who come, we will not be isolated, the Seven Star Alliance is already paying close attention to the movements of Fly Mountain, as long as we know the news of the attack of the army of Fly Mountain here, within two days, all allies will gather, and they can detect the demon ...... of these demons."

When he said this, he suddenly paused, so that Shen Jin looked up at Qian Chong in surprise, and saw that his eyes flickered, as if he had figured out the key.

"I know!" Qian Chong's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly, Ji Rui Xue Yang and several junior disciples looked back together, "I know why those demons suppressed their demonic energy last night! They are afraid that the Seven Star Alliance will master the march movement, they want to avoid the eyes and ears of the Seven Star Alliance, and take Luoyang City first!"

Guan Qiao turned out to be here, and several disciples of the Qianjia family showed sudden expressions, and Qianchong's excited tone was still wafting at the head of the city, which made many soldiers look sideways.

"But they didn't expect that there were still our disciples of the Seven Star Alliance here, and the Seven Star Alliance naturally had its own way!"

Qianchong ordered loudly: "Fourth junior brother, quickly go down to the city and run quickly, and cast the Beidou letter lantern in all four corners of Luoyang City, remember, it is the Beidou letter lamp, not my Qianjia Bai Hongxun!

......

The Beidou letter lamp is not a lamp, but a unique secret spell of the Seven Star Alliance, using the aura to spawn the Big Dipper Seven Star pattern, which is the signal of the warning contact agreed upon after the Seven Star Alliance of Longhu Mountain.

Due to the thaumaturgy of Hu Ergongzi, the elder of the Seven Star Alliance, this Big Dipper pattern rising out of thin air is extremely magnificent and magnificent, and each star is dazzling even in the daytime, even if it is hundreds of miles away, the people in the Seven Star Alliance can be seen at a glance. What's even more wonderful is that the demons and mortals can't see this vision, there is no danger of startling the snake, and there is no danger of not keeping things secret, which is much stronger than Bai Hongxun of the Qian's family.

Today, in this windy and snowy, hazy and gloomy early morning, the Beidou letter lamp rose for the first time at the west gate of Luoyang City, seven stars are shining, eye-catching, and after that, the four directions in the city will show such a scene, which means that the momentum of the demons is imminent;

β€»β€»β€»

The airflow stagnated slightly, and then two white lights, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, appeared on the mountain road.

"Look! It's the Beidou letter lamp!" the white-clad boy pointed to the light rising in the sky in the distance.

"It's the direction of Luoyang City. Another young man in white looked into the distance, and slightly frowned his good-looking sword eyebrows, "Where are the Seven Star Alliance fellows?"

"Senior Brother Qi, why did you forget? Master Xu said that there have always been disciples of the Qianjia family waiting on that front line to replace the sacrificed Azure Society and the Flying Sword Sect. "The boy has the handsome and beautiful face that is common to the people of Heyumen, but he is a little childish, and the corners of his cheeks and mouth are even a little baby-like fat, but he looks like an energetic big boy.

The narrow mountain road was also covered by snow, and the two white-clothed figures seemed to be mixed with the snow, only the pair of slender crane legs embroidered on their chests were bright and abnormal. They are the disciples of the Heyu Sect Text Sect: Qi Wenyu and Bai Wenqi.

In addition to the three major disciples Wei Wenbin, Ge Wentong and Qi Wenyu, who followed Yunzi to Chang'an to punish Qianlisheng, there was only this little junior brother Bai Wenqi left. At that time, Bai Wenqi's cultivation was not complete, and he only left his sect to concentrate on cultivation, but he also escaped because of this, and recently the art of transforming qi and mental power was finally completed, and he also became one of the only two people who survived the achievements of the text gate.

Mr. Xu Da's exploration of the origin of the Fly Mountain is said to have a great eyebrow, and the implementation of the two-way attack strategy is close at hand, and Qi Wenyu and Bai Wenqi were entrusted by Mr. Xu Da to go to Jiangnan to contact Yu Shihuan, the deputy leader of the alliance there, and most of the Seven Star Alliance, to sneak into the Central Plains within a few days and launch a surprise attack on the Fly Mountain.

Unexpectedly, not long after they left, they saw the Beidou letter lamp coming from Luoyang City.

"It's not just about connecting with your peers. Could it be that these disciples of the Qianjia family have been attacked?" Qi Wenyu pondered.

Bai Wenqi tilted his head: "Didn't Senior Brother Qi keep saying how powerful the people of the Qianjia family were? What kind of demons could hurt them? Besides, if there were really those powerful demons, how could we not detect them?"

"Then why do they want to cast the Beidou letter lantern?" Qi Wenyu groaned slightly, and immediately made a decision, "In this way, at most a day's journey, I will turn the wind and go to investigate, you go straight to Senior Brother Jiangnan Yu, if there is nothing wrong, I will catch up with you again, this is called a mistake between the two." "I heard that it was a disciple of the Qianjia family, Qi Wenyu wanted to go and see it, his life was saved by the disciples of the Qianjia family, and he always felt that he had inherited their great affection.

Bai Wenqi was also obedient, nodded in agreement, Qi Wenyu was just about to confess a few words, but the two of them raised their heads in shock at the same time.

Another wave of the Big Dipper rose, obscuring the previous light.

"The second Beidou letter lamp," Qi Wenyu's face became solemn, "something must have happened!"
