Chapter XI
"General, my subordinates remember that Elder Fu Heng once gave you a Jiaozhu...... "So you should understand."
"Jiaozhu?" Xu Mo was stunned, "Is there one?"
"......" sure enough.
Zhao Han hurriedly stepped forward and handed him a small black cloth bag.
Xumo took the cloth bag but didn't open it, but asked Zhaohan: "What is the use of this thing?"
"......" Zhaohan helped him open the bag, and the light leaked out.
"I can illuminate. ”
After being reminded by Zhao Han, Xu Mo remembered that there really seemed to be such a thing. He took out the South China Sea Jiaozhu and put it in his palm, and the light spread out at his fingertips, instantly filling the stone cave and covering the green light.
The silver-white Jiaozhu is brighter than the night pearl, its light is soft and warm, and the silver-white is like the moonlight, illuminating the entire stone cave.
Xu Mo was more comfortable at this time, and his fingertips pinched the beads to look around.
Several subordinates have their own duties, as long as there are caves, they have to collect some, even the stones on the stone wall have to pick off some and bring them back.
"Preface, the king of people said that if he found the body, he would immediately send it to the royal city, but this tree grows underground, and the entrance is still ......" Zhao Han stepped forward and handed over the secret order of the king of people.
"Well...... You really need to think about it. Xumo took the secret order and sat directly on the bare roots of the locust tree with a flick of his clothes.
He didn't open it, he just stuffed it into a cloth bag. Inadvertently touching the root system underneath, he stroked the thick root system and couldn't help but be stunned, why does this locust tree look so big?
After thinking about it like this, he actually felt that Tong Shan was strange everywhere. Let's not say that the mountain ghosts here are hopelessly stupid, but the aggression of any guardian spirit clan will definitely not be so weak. If this was the case, the King of People would have sent someone a long time ago, so why did the Fuping Hall and the Astrology Hall spend more than ten years arguing about the operation to capture Tongshan?
This hall of support and astrology represent two forces, and they have been fighting each other for two thousand years. It's just that the beliefs are different, and the Tao is different. Even the locations of the two halls are far apart, one in the east of the city and one in the west of the city, one near the palace, and one far away in the suburbs, where the eight poles can't be hit.
The temple is on the side of the gods, believing that the human race against the gods is a blasphemy of the oath made by the human race to the god ten thousand years ago.
God blesses all things, and they are very sad and angry at the act of killing the gods by man, but they cannot put an end to it, so they can only make small actions in the human world to hinder the action of the astrological temple.
The Fuping Hall is mysterious to the outside world, they are not like the astrological temple that is worshiped by the majority of the people, nor is it like the human king who is worshiped by the people and regarded as gods.
They just silently believe, silently support, and silently obstruct.
And they have been able to exist openly for so long because there are still people in the human race who believe in God. Although the king of men said that he was going to war with God, he obviously had many more concerns.
The astrological hall is subordinate to the king of men, and there are three houses in it, and there are six pavilions under the three courts. The three courtyards are Xuanji Temple, Xiudan Temple, and Kenyu Temple. Under the Xuanji Courtyard, there are Nian Ji Pavilion good divination, foreknowledge and Tianji Pavilion good at drawing talismans and detaining souls. Under the Xiudan Temple, there are Furnace Pavilion good at refining medicine, making puppets and Earth Furnace Pavilion good at refining souls. Under the Sword Feather Courtyard, there is the Ming Sword Pavilion and the Dark Arrow Pavilion is good at assassination and concealment.
All of these arrangements are directed at least indicatively to God and the Spirit.
Xumo lay down on the root system of his body, his eyes staring at the lush branches and leaves at the top, as if he was in thought.
Zhao Han stood beside Xumo with Jiaozhu in his hand, his eyes lowered, hiding his eyes to reveal an imperceptible faint joy.
In the early years, the king of the people had always had a clear attitude towards Tongshan, and neither said that he would abandon it, nor would he remove the people who were ambushed in the villages near Tongshan. This seems to be more like casting a long line to catch a big fish, but what else is there to find here besides the mountain god is valuable?
Jiaozhu's light was a little dazzling, and Xumo reached out to take it and put it on his side, directly letting Zhaohan leave.
"General, shall we contact the people outside first?" Zhao Han cut a branch and put it into a cloth bag full of charms, he really didn't see anything strange, so he stepped forward and asked.
Zhao Han is a demigod puppet refined in the same batch as Xumo, but because of an accident in the process, the refined divine soul collapsed, and it was reduced to a living soul that was not even as good as a human soul, becoming the lowest level of puppets.
But the puppet order ink that was originally going to be invalid was saved, and he used various precious medicinal materials for a few years to be able to speak, and he trained for more than ten years before he finally became his subordinate.
"It's okay, there's no rush to transport the body beforehand. Xumo got up and hooked his lips and smiled, dusted off the black soil on his clothes, stretched his body, and stretched his waist.
"Now that the main body has been found, the mountain god will come back obediently no matter how far he escapes. Withdrawn!"
"Yes. ”
As long as you find the main body, you are not afraid that the mountain god will not appear. Xumo knew that the main body was the second life of the mountain god, and as long as the mountain god still wanted to have a complete divine body, he would definitely come back.
Xumo sealed the cave with a charm to prevent the mountain ghosts from entering. The immediate priority is to report to the king.
Xumo summoned a small paper kite for communication and truthfully wrote down the situation of Tongshan. After completing it, a spell seal was added, which the non-human king himself could not open.
With a wave of his hand, the paper kite flew into the sky and disappeared.
After everything was done, Xu Mo remembered that he still had the head of a mountain ghost hanging from his waist.
Thinking of the mountain ghosts who were still in the cage, the corners of Xumo's mouth couldn't help but hook upward. He untied the blue cloth bag around his waist, and the cloth bag that was originally the size of his palm returned to its original state the moment it was opened.
Xumo took out Ah Fan's head and carefully looked at the still beautiful face in his palm, the purple dark lines on it had always attracted him. But the momentary interest only existed for a while, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't see anything famous, and then he lost interest again.
"Beauty has no choice but to turn into dry bones. Well, in fact, I don't like beauties very much, especially those who are hooked with the gods. Xumo walked in front of him, holding Ah Fan's head in one hand, and several people behind him lowered their heads one after another, silently agreeing. At this moment, none of them could see the good or bad mood of Xumo.
However, the few people behind him knew that Xumo was extremely cruel to all races related to gods.
Xumo didn't care about walking and playing up and down, and the beauty's hair fell to the ground.
When he saw this, he reached out and fished it out, and his long inky hair hung down in his hand. As if he didn't think this was good, he hurriedly stuffed his hair into the package again, and said that it was a pity.
"It's a pity, if you were like your brothers, you probably wouldn't have killed you. Hehe, kill the mountain ghost...... It's refreshing to not kill the gods. Xumo pursed his lips, lost his interest in playing, and wrapped Ah Fan's head back into his waist again.
"However, life is better than death. Xumo walked leisurely in the mountains, and even the beasts dared to roar at him from twenty paces away as a threat.
Xumo just glanced at it lightly, still smiling casually, ignoring it.
"How's the Shoudan's side?"
"There's no news yet, but they won't last long. ”
"Hmm. "It's just a nuisance, you can't kill it, you can't keep it...... It's better to lock her up for a hundred times. Xumo touched his chin, thinking that this matter was feasible.
"Can you confirm with Nianji Pavilion that the mountain god is in Tongshan?"
"That's it. Zhao Han paused and said, "I've said it several times, even you have said it yourself a few times." ”
"Uh. Xu Mo smiled awkwardly, "Look at me, my memory is getting worse and worse." ”
Then, if the mountain god wants to escape, then he will definitely go ...... This way. Xumo clasped his hands around his chest and stretched out his fingers to the weakest point of the barrier. "Command to go down and withdraw half of the men who are guarding on the east side and transfer them to the south. ”
"Yes. The subordinate who had been following from a distance appeared after receiving the order, and quickly disappeared after receiving the token thrown to him by Xumo.
Xumo smiled and looked at the faint sunlight shining through the gaps in the trees, and was in a good mood. The morning fog is thin, and the forest is half shadowy and half hazy.
"It's a great day. ”
......
In the rear, several men in armor were pushing each other away with a roll of cloth.
"This, let's send it by Zhao Han, he and the order will go closest. ”
"Yes, yes, on weekdays, the order will take care of him the most, and if he goes, it will definitely be no problem. ”
"How can this work, it is clearly Concise's business to send news. Don't look at Zhao Han's honesty, you have to deceive him. ”
"Oh, every time the preface meets the astrological hall, it will be cloudy, and the temper will come as soon as it is said, I was rewarded with a whip last time, and I have been raising it for several days. Let Zhao Han go, maybe it can make the order feel better. ”
"Okay, okay, that's it, if we delay any longer, we won't have any good fruit to eat. Send the news to Zhaohan. ”
"It's okay, I'll just go. Zhao Han came out of the tent, took the cloth and walked away.
The rest of the people looked at each other and immediately dispersed.
"General, the news has just come from the Astrology Hall that the Holy Maiden will arrive at Tongshan before night. Zhao Han said and handed over the cloth.
Xumo took it, took a cursory look, and casually threw the cloth to him. With a flick of his hand, he frowned and asked, "In the matter of Tongshan, Your Majesty said that I am in charge of everything, why did the Xuanji Academy intervene?"
Zhao Han took the cloth and handed it over again. "You'll have to see it for yourself. ”
Xumo squinted at him, "Haven't you seen it all?" ”
Zhao Han was stunned and did not speak.
"You go down first, next time something is delivered, you can just tell me after reading it." Only in front of Zhao Han will he not claim to be below.
"Yes. ”
