[744] Secret arts
The ghost people and ghost soldiers in the pass surrounded the strange mountain peak in the middle every day, shouting to see Xiao Shizhu, and the surrounding area was blocked.
Even if Ke Yun sent his own soldiers to maintain order, he still couldn't disperse the enthusiastic ghost people. For twelve hours a day, the mountain is noisy and noisy all around.
They all want to see this legendary hero who made tens of thousands of Yudu troops obediently retreat with a few ghosts.
Ke Yun could only place Xiao Shizhu's location on the mountainside, but it was also quieter. It's just that in the dim room, as the cloudy sun sets, there is a cold and gloomy slowly diffuse, but it also makes the ghosts in the house refreshed. The yin qi in the cold made them all maintain a state of excellent sobriety.
After listening to the conversation between Ying Ying and Xiao Shizhu, the female girl, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and said with some worry: "Lord, I think as your courtier, I need to remind you that our time is running out. In five months' time the passage will open again, and we will have to go back. And the place occupied by the ghost soldiers of Xudu is vast. Even if you are a genius of war, you will not be able to defeat all the drunken ghost soldiers in five months. If you can do it, it's a miracle. ”。
There was no tactfulness, and the female Lu bluntly explained what she thought in her heart, and she did not have the slightest reservation.
When the words landed, the wind outside the house suddenly blew and shrieked through the pass where Ke Yun was stationed.
The wind blows the grass, and the fragrance of rice overflows. Wherever the wind passed, the brass bells hanging from the cornices and corners of all the houses swayed in the wind, making a whirling and crisp sound.
Xiao Shizhu, who was in the room, withdrew his gaze from the map again, slowly turned to face the female man, and slowly, slowly curled the corners of his mouth.
"I've created miracles, but I really don't want to create them this time. "This human soul who looks at the world, crisscrosses the underworld, and dares to openly argue with the Emperor Xudu has a warm smile on his face, and he is full of confidence. He looked at the female lu and asked unhurriedly: "My future daughter-in-law, who told you that I would kill all the ghost soldiers in Huangquan within five months? Besides, it is not a miracle to be able to kill so many ghost soldiers in five months, it is called a cheat." ”。
The female girl was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head embarrassedly, and whispered, "I haven't talked to Shi Cassia yet." ”。 But he only listened to half of what Xiao Shizhu said, the half about his daughter-in-law.
When he was still hanging his head, he couldn't help but peek at the smirking Shi Cassia beside him.
As soon as she finished speaking, the female lu raised her head again, and was suddenly stunned, and only after a while did she come to her senses, but her eyes were stunned before she dissipated: "Why don't you kill them all? Aren't the ghost soldiers still a threat to the ghosts of Huangquan?" We promised the Queen of Huangquan to help her clean up the ghost soldiers of Huangdu." ”。
The female lu suddenly also had a feeling that she couldn't see through Xiao Shizhu, especially the look on the other party's face, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which had strictly covered everything he thought in his heart.
The ghost doesn't know, what is this son of God thinking?
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, and the same is to be able to clean up the ghost soldiers of the drunken capital. After seeing that except for the female girl, the other ghosts were looking at him in his eyes, and they were all a little confused, Xiao Shizhu stopped selling Guanzi, and said to them bluntly without reservation: "When I was eating and drinking with Ke Yun and them in the past few days, I chatted about a useful news. The ghost soldiers of Xudu are led by eight ghost generals and are divided into eight armies. But all eight of them live in one place, and all I have to do is hit them where they live, capture them alive, or kill them alive. ”。
At this point, Xiao Shizhu's hand straightened up, and his erected index finger pointed at the map hanging on the wall next to him, and his fingertips fell on the map in the middle of the Yellow Spring Middle Earth, and the point was impartial to a place called Jiuquan Valley.
"This is the stronghold of the eight leaders of the ghost soldiers of the drunken capital. Heavily guarded, the terrain is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we just break into this place, five months is more than enough. Xiao Shizhu nodded to the Jiuquan Valley on the map, and he was full of confidence, and said loudly: "I just want to capture the thief and capture the king first, so that the ghost soldiers of Xudu will be leaderless and chaotic." The rest can only be done by the ghosts of Huangquan themselves. ”。
"That's a good idea. Tai Feng, whose eyes lit up, said excitedly after thinking about it for a while: "Do what we can do in the limited time, and the rest is the business of the ghosts of Huangquan themselves." ”。
Tai Feng, who was excited, raised his voice by a few decibels, and joked by the way: "Their Huangquan ghosts are not children anymore, and we are not their fathers and mothers." Even if it is, there will be a day when children will grow up and be independent. I think this thief captures the king first, yes. ”。
The other ghosts laughed, but Xiao Shizhu just smiled, but after nodding his head, he pointed at Taifeng with his finger and praised the other ghosts: "Look, look, this is the ghost who understands." They promised to help the ghosts of Huangquan, they would definitely help, and they couldn't do it from beginning to end, we had to worry about everything. ”。
"Go and get ready, and distribute your weapons and fire and thunder to the ghost soldiers under your command. Xiao Shizhu raised his hand again and pointed to the map beside him, but this time it was not Jiuquan Valley, but the border pass opposite Ke Yun's station, the ghost soldiers of Xudu.
"Tomorrow there will be wind and sand, as big as the dark one. Xiao Shizhu put away his smile, replaced it with a solemn face, and ordered the ghosts under him: "Under the cover of the wind and sand, we will take this place first, and we must win the first battle and establish our prestige in the first battle." The prestige of our Nine Secluded Countries has also been launched in the Yellow Spring. ”......
After the wind and sand stopped, the Huangquan Holy Land was still everywhere, and there were pieces of mess scattered on both sides of the valley.
The attack of the ghost soldiers almost destroyed the fortifications on both sides of the valley, and everything had to be rebuilt.
Queen Huangquan has mobilized most of the ghost people and ghost soldiers in the valley to start the reconstruction of the holy land. Fortunately, Xiao Shizhu skillfully used a fox and fake tiger power to bluff the ghost soldiers of Xudu, so that they did not kill the valley in the valley and retreated in time, otherwise with the destructive power of the ghost soldiers of Xudu, this Huangquan Holy Land would be a fee.
Queen Huangquan also participated in the reconstruction, cleaning the battlefield with magic and ghosts, and was so busy that she didn't have a good rest every day.
In the afternoon of this day, after the queen of Huangquan asked her subordinates to hurry up and rebuild the pass, she led a few guards towards the south of the valley, the south bank of the valley.
The entrance to the dungeon of the Holy Land was built on the shore of the lake. As for the dungeon, it is at the bottom of the lake in the valley.
Following the long secret passage all the way down, the Queen of Yellow Springs walked for half an hour before she came to the dungeon at the bottom of the lake. The ceiling of the hall was a large piece of golden amber embedded in the rock wall, which lay across the bottom of the lake, blocking the water from pouring into the dungeon.
Another function is that if a prisoner dares to escape, the jailer can ignite the fire thunder hanging on the amber to instantly shatter the amber, so that the lake water will pour in, and the jade will be burned.
The waves of clear water shook tirelessly on the amber, casting colorful flowing silhouettes that filled the halls of the dungeon.
And in the warm amber in the water, the luster and sparkle of the gemstone are full of brilliance, which is more beautiful than when it is no longer in the water. It's just that in the depths of this dungeon, there are sometimes painful * floating out and overflowing with a depressing atmosphere, and whoever walks into the dungeon has no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery overhead.
The Queen of Yellow Springs was not in the mood to look at it, and when she walked into the hall, she walked straight across the hall under the guidance of the jailer, heading farther away. When she walked slowly to the depths of the dungeon and stopped, in the dim light.
In the depths of this dungeon, screams and * voices kept coming, each of which pierced through the bones of Queen Huangquan, and it was so heartbreaking that she would feel terrible when she heard it.
Those who are imprisoned here are the most heinous criminals. Most prisoners are tortured every day, with old wounds added to new ones. He was tortured all day long, and even his voice was full of pain.
On the opposite side of the Queen of Yellow Springs was a windowless cell with thick walls on all sides of the lake. Outside the steel gate, the faint light of a lone lamp illuminates only an inch behind the door. After that, it was dark, and nothing could be seen clearly.
But when Queen Huangquan stood outside the prison door, a weak voice came from the prison door: "You still came to see me?
This voice is Lin Yun's voice, but compared to when she rebelled, she has a lot less confidence and more weakness with insufficient energy.
But from the voice, there was no fear, it seemed that death was not what Lin Wan was most afraid of.
When the voice echoed in the dungeon, her hands and feet had been broken by torture, and Lin Yun, who was disheveled, crawled over, showed her filthy and dirty face in the light of the faint light of the lamplight, and raised her head.
On Lin Yun's face, a pair of blood-red eyes burst out with a cold gaze like ice, and rushed straight to the Queen of Huangquan.
"Yes, I can't keep an ungrateful brute like you. Queen Huangquan's eyes were full of disappointment when she looked at her: "Whether it is me or the ghosts of Huangquan, you don't feel the slightest bit ashamed and indebted, but you bite us back." ”。
"To each his own, my Majesty. Lin Yun, who had no remorse, even though he was tortured, still said confidently: "Didn't you also kill a lot of ghost soldiers and our families?
Queen Huangquan didn't say much, she didn't have anything to say about diehards like Lin Wan, they would never think how shameless what they had done. The ghosts of Huangquan are self-preservation, and they only kill people by resisting aggression, Lin Wan will never realize this.
Queen Huangquan regretted a little, she still had pity for her, and came to see Lin Wan before she died.
"Wait. Just when Queen Huangquan turned around without hesitation and was about to leave, Lin Yun suddenly stopped her and said, "I have something, but I can exchange it for my life." You can keep me in custody, and I don't ask you to let me go, but I can trade this thing for a way out. ”。
Queen Huangquan, who had already stepped forward, suddenly stopped after walking three feet. She froze in place, and Lin Yun behind her sneered: "Let's see it as a deal, I will exchange this thing for a way for me to live, and you can also exchange this thing for the well-being of your ghost people." ”。
"What is it?" Although Queen Huangquan didn't believe it, this Lin Wan who had nothing to do when she entered the dungeon, and the treasures that she had talked to her about the conditions, she still turned around and stood in front of the cell door again, staring at Lin Wan who was still sneering.
"Mystic. I know a secret technique. Under her gaze, Lin Wan in the prison said word by word: "This secret technique uses the ghost life of the son of God as a medium, and it can change the climate characteristics in the Yellow Spring. ”。
