Chapter Eighty-Five: Warriors
As early as when Bigan had just received the news that the Chenghou rebels had gathered under Chaoge City, Bigan had already brought the pivot of the Zhuhuang Great Array.
The pivot is a warm red seal.
If it is an official and ordinary people who often go in and out of Chaoge City, they can naturally find that the appearance of the Xuanniao on this seal is actually somewhat similar to the Xuanniao totem outside Chaoge City.
The Xuanniao is vivid, its eyes are smart, and there is a fiery red aura swimming slowly in it, so that the cold carriage in winter is filled with warm spring.
If King Shang was in Chaoge City, then of course this "Xuanniao Seal" was carried by Zishou, but when Zishou left Chaoge City, he handed over the Xuanniao Seal to Bigan and let Uncle Wang personally control the Zhuhuang Great Array.
It's a great trust, but it's also a great burden.
This is tantamount to entrusting the safety of the entire Chaoge City to the hands of Bigan.
When the Zhuhuang Great Array was built, it was mainly to prevent those ghosts and demons from sneaking into Chaoge City to harm people, and it was not set up for ordinary human soldiers, after all, the Zhuhuang Great Array was under the control of Phoenix Ling in the Bronze Divine Tree, and there was a trace of divine consciousness from that colorful phoenix, and she instinctively did not want to hurt the human race and then be contaminated with cause and effect. But if there are really rebels who want to shake the foundation of the Dashang royal family, then Caihuang, who is closely linked to the fortunes of the Dashang country, will not hesitate to take action.
There has indeed been such a thing in history, those rebels came to the outside of Chaoge City, and before they could attack the city, the overwhelming flames erupting from this large array made them unable to avoid it, and one by one the fire phoenixes flew outside the city, which frightened the courage of those traitors, and also created the immortal reputation of the Zhuhuang Great Array.
A few years ago, when Wu Zhiqi was not in retreat, he personally went to repair the formation, although Wu Zhiqi thought that he had no talent with the formation, but that was also because he had been by Candle Jiuyin's side for a long time, he was hit for a long time, and his vision was too high.
After all, Candle Jiuyin is the number one formation master in the Dragon Clan, and after being nurtured by Candle for a long time, how can Wu Zhiqi really be a formation idiot?
Although the repaired Zhuhuang Great Array did not have the Phoenix Feather as a source of spiritual power, Wu Zhiqi's natal Xuanxuan Vortex Divine Water and the Phoenix Heavenly Fire in the Zhuhuang Great Array were exercised by him with secret methods, and they had become a combination of water and fire, not only to some extent got rid of the control of the colorful phoenix, but the power had increased by as much as thirty percent compared to the original.
However, such an infinitely powerful array was ineffective this morning.
Originally, Zishou was very hesitant, after all, the people outside the city were all big merchants, but they were deceived by Chenghou, so they raised their swords to their compatriots, if the formation was activated, it would not be difficult to defend the city, but in that case...... There are so many evils that have been committed.
Although Bigan is not a cultivator and cares about karma, in his eyes, these are all human lives, and behind them are families, of course he is unwilling to use this big killing weapon.
It wasn't until he stood on the city gate that he sensed that the gate of Chaoge City was opened in a grand manner, and that anger was still suppressed in his chest, firmly controlling his killing intent, and he didn't want to use this last resort.
But when he sat down to the gate of the Zhuhuang Palace, and saw Zheng Yuehe, the commander of the Tiger Army's shield armor, that Changge penetrated the driver's abdomen, and the man struggled painfully and powerlessly on Changge, he finally made up his mind.
If the Zhuhuang Great Array will kill many people, then I will bear this sin.
In this way, there will always be fewer deaths, and maybe Chenghou will know the difficulty and retreat.
The carriage kept jolting, Bigan made up his mind, touched the long sword that had been hanging beside his waist, pulled out a snowy blade with force, and with a slight stroke of the ring finger of his left hand on the blade, a drop of blood seeped out of the small wound.
He carefully dripped the blood onto the Xuanniao Seal, watched the blood seep into the smooth surface of the Xuanniao Seal, and then lifted the curtain of the car, quietly waiting for the ending to come.
The Shang kings of the past dynasties were unable to cultivate due to the "curse" in their bloodlines, and their method of triggering the Zhuhuang Great Array has always been based on the blood in their bodies.
Bigan had seen his father Wen Ding use his blood to inspire the Zhu Huang Great Array to kill the enemy troops outside the city, and he had also seen Wen Ding use the Xuanniao Seal to kill the big demon who coveted the flesh and blood of the human race and tried to enter Chaoge City.
Before Zishou went out on patrol, Bigan also confirmed with his nephew again and again that the easiest way to stimulate the Zhuhuang Great Array was to use blood as a guide.
He and Zishou are both the descendants of Emperor Tang, so there is no reason why he can't stimulate the Zhuhuang Great Array.
Bigan's face was solemn and cold as frost and snow, and he looked at the Xuanniao Seal suspiciously, as if he had not devoured the blood in his body just now, and the ominous premonition in his heart became heavier and heavier.
——————
"The ancestor of Emperor Tang inherited the bloodline of Xuanniao and achieved the emperor's business, as long as it is his lineage, he can have a secret connection with the Zhuhuang Great Array. But my indecisive brother Wang always seems to be unable to remember, Brother Wang, I am also the blood of my ancestors. ”
Chenghou's feminine face was smiling insolently, but his face was as pale as snow, and a large hole was cut in the palm of his left hand near his wrist, and the blood from the wound had begun to coagulate, but some blood still oozed out of it, and was absorbed by the seal on his right hand that was exactly the same as the Xuanniao seal in Bigan's hand.
"Yes, yes, yes, what you said is, but Master Hou, enough is enough, how precious your blood is, in a few hours, it will be the holy blood of the King of Shang, where can it be used like this!" That Mr. Lu Da was already ugly, at this time Cui Ping had already left, and only he and Chenghou were left in the big chariot, and his face was no longer reserved and calm as before, but was full of flattery, which made him even more suspicious.
"Hahaha, Mr. Lu is reasonable, I think this blood should be enough to prevent the Zhuhuang Great Array from being launched, then ask Mr. to treat Ben Hou's injuries. Although Chenghou lost a lot of blood and turned pale, he was obviously in a very good mood, and he was even happier when he looked at the unresponsive phoenix totem at the head of Chaoge City, and stretched out his hand in front of Lu Yuan.
"Little things, little things!"
The flattering smile on Lu Yuan's face did not decrease in the slightest, but he stretched out his left hand and lightly tapped it on Chenghou's wrist, and a faint cyan aura crossed from his fingers to Chenghou's wrist.
That wound was actually condensing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye!
However, in a short time, the wound had already scabbed over and fell off, leaving only a shallow white mark on Chenghou's palm.
I never thought that this obscene-looking Mr. Lu was actually a cultivator with Aoki's aura.
"Sir, good means!" Chenghou's face turned a little ruddy, and he looked back and forth at his palm, and was amazed.
"Where is it, my little skill of carving insects, compared to the prince's means of reaching the sky, is really not worth mentioning!" Mr. Lu Da's eyes were about to become a slit with a smile, his mouth was grinning, and his waist was about to bow to the ground.
Chenghou played with the jade seal in his hand, and was very affected by Lu Yuan's sycophancy, and said with a smile:
"My royal brother only knows that there is a Xuanyao seal in the Zhuhuang Palace, and how do you know that there is also a Xuanniao seal in the priest's lineage that has been passed down by the high priest for generations. ”
"In the past, when Chaoge City was in distress, the king of Shang was in the city, so he naturally came to control the Xuanniao Seal in person, and there was no chance for the priest to make a move, and over time, no one in the royal family knew about it, if it wasn't for the great god who blessed me with this Xuanniao Seal, I wouldn't have thought that there was still a pivot in the original Zhuhuang Great Array. ”
Chenghou sighed.
"But it's normal to think about it, after all, the builder of this Vermilion Phoenix Great Array is the first high priest, and with that person's means, it is only natural to leave such a treasure to the priest. ”
Lu Yuan nodded endlessly, agreeing with Chenghou's statement.
"Master Hou. Lu Yuan called cautiously.
"Huh?" Chenghou looked away from the Xuanniao Seal and looked at the flattering face beside him that had been seen for many years.
"Let's go next...... You're about to go to Zhuhuang Palace?" Lu Yuan was a little excited, and his thin palms trembling as he twisted his two mustaches.
"yes. Next, I'm going back to the palace to have a look......"
Chenghou, who stood up, looked over the soldiers who had entered the Chaoge City like ants, and his tone was emotional and remembrance, I don't know whether it was nostalgia for those years that could not be returned, or the emotion of Zhuhuang Palace, which was finally about to return to the thirty years of not seeing.
——————
The war at the gates of the city is nearing its end.
The two thousand shield armorers who were originally like a hard reef can no longer see the complete formation, and there are even fewer wall shields that can still stand intact, and the outermost cowhide on those wall shields as thick as the city walls has long been broken, and even the bronze body inside has become scarred, and some have even been cut off by a great force!
Even the hard wall shield made of cowhide, bronze, and oak couldn't stop the full force of the powerhouse of the Refining Void Realm.
No matter how hard the reef is, it can't survive the long-lasting and frantic erosion of the waves, and it will always be slowly worn away and eventually come to naught.
Only the foremost wall shield is still like the hardest horn on the reef, stubbornly and stubbornly against the most turbulent part of the waves.
Zheng Yuehe had the largest number of rebel corpses piled up in front of him, and it had almost become a small mountain.
The bronze Changge in his hand was changed and changed, and I don't know how many it is.
The soldiers around him changed and changed, and his eyes, blurred by blood and sweat, could no longer see which of his colleagues were fighting together.
The heavy armor on his body was shattered, and the visor had completed its mission after blocking the impact of the four hundred and five arrows, and fell to the ground weakly, revealing his scarred face.
Even with his strong physique in the middle stage of refining the Void Realm, he had already reached the end of his strong crossbow.
The enemies ahead continued to pour into the city gates, as if there was no end in sight.
A foot soldier was pushed by great courage, and when he walked in front of Zheng Yuehe, who was like a steel fortress, his legs were already trembling with fright, and his hand holding the gun was about to be unsteady.
But as he shuddered, the tip of the spear pointed at the great wall shield.
The steel fortress collapsed.
Zheng Yuehe finally fell.
Chenghou's huge and luxurious chariot slowly moved forward in the Chinese army, and when he passed by the man whose blood had dried up at the corner of his mouth, he looked straight and sighed:
"Warrior!"
