Chapter 14: Mutations

It's very unpleasant to be woken up by anyone, and the same is true for Yun Yi, but he has some doubts in addition to being unhappy.

The formation set up by Zuo Ci can not only make it impossible for outsiders to enter the Wujiao Courtyard, but also isolate the sound, how does the sound from the outside come in?

Under the doubt, I had to get up and go out of the house to check, put on shoes and socks and clothes, and went out directly without washing my face and rinsing my mouth.

Glancing at the three of them, seeing that they were all frowning, Yun Yi was even more puzzled in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to ask, but saw Wang Xiaoshu raise his right index finger in front of his lips, and said in a low voice: "Shh...... The formation is broken, and the soldiers outside don't know yet, don't alarm them. ”

Receiving the response, Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought after coming back to his senses, there are two ways to break the formation, one is that a Dao Sect master found the formation talisman of the formation, and then withdrew it. The second is that there are masters of the Dao Sect who forcibly break the formation from the outside world with domineering spells, which will cause a great shock.

The second method can be ruled out first, because he did not feel the vibration beforehand. In addition, the two Taixuan Dao people had also tried to break the formation with their aura, but they were unsuccessful.

The first method can also be ruled out, because the formation talisman was placed in the formation by Zuo Ci, and outsiders couldn't enter it at all. Moreover, if Dong Zhuo had asked the Daomen master to break the formation, it would be impossible for the soldiers outside not to know and have rushed in a long time ago.

In this way, there is only one reasonable explanation left, which is that Zuo Ci removed the formation talisman.

Thinking of this, Yun Yi asked in a low voice, "What about Master?"

"I don't know, I went to his room to see it, the dust is not there, maybe it's gone. Zhu Xiaoqing shook his head and said.

Yun Yi frowned again when he heard this, most of the weapons used by Taoists are long swords and dust, and Zuo Ci also uses these two, if you go out to do business, you only need to bring a long sword to defend yourself, and only when you go out to travel will you bring a dust, since Zuo Ci has brought a dust, presumably he will not come back.

With this thought in his heart, Yun Yi felt helpless in his heart, he had guessed that Zuo Ci would leave after teaching many skills of the Dao Sect, but he never thought that he would leave so eagerly, and he left without saying a word, let alone that he would withdraw the formation before leaving.

Those two Daoists should also have been led away by Zuo Ci, otherwise with their cultivation, they would be able to easily detect the disappearance of the formation.

Obviously, it is easy to see that how to leave the Wujiao Courtyard is the first problem that Zuo Ci gave them.

Although Zuo Ci's farewell caught everyone off guard, no one complained about him, Zuo Ci had already pointed out the path of cultivation, and how to go on depended on their own creation.

"Did Master leave a letter?" Yun Yi looked at Zhu Xiaoqing.

"Yes. Zhu Xiaoqing nodded, and instead took out an opened letter from his bosom and handed it over.

Yun Yi took the letter and did not invite the three of them to read it together, because the letter had been opened, indicating that the three of them had already read it.

"Born as a marquis, dead as a temple, not for the noble. The marquis is just a false name, and the temple food is not separated from the ghosts, so it is better to live forever and see for a long time. This is the first paragraph on the letter, this passage is not difficult to understand, Zuo Ci is warning them not to neglect their cultivation, not to be entangled in worldly fame, and it also indirectly proves Yun Yi's guess that he will indeed not come back.

Looking further down, it is written: "The number of Tibetan gas, the water wind well, Ji." Feng Shui is sloppy and fierce. "There's no more content at this point.

This passage is very vague, "well" and "zhuan" are two of the sixty-four hexagrams, Zuo Ci should be trying to express something, but Yun Yi is not good at reading hexagrams, and his doubts cannot be solved, so he has to look up at Mo Luli.

"I Ching" is a classic revered by Confucianism and Taoism, Mo Luli was a disciple of Confucianism, familiar with many Confucian classics, should be able to guess the meaning of Zuo Ci's words.

Master's last sentence was clueless, and I didn't understand what it meant. Mo Luli waved his hand and shook his head.

With this reply, Yun Yi tore up the letter and did not delve further, the top priority was to try to leave the Wujiao Courtyard, and the dumb riddle on the letter was left to be solved later.

After thinking about it in his heart for a long time, Yun Yi finally didn't think of a way to get out, so he could only look up at the three of them: "What do you have in mind?"

"What can you think? There are nearly a thousand Xiliang troops outside, and there are many archers among them, and it is a shame that they have not noticed that the formation has been removed, otherwise, we are either meat sauce or sieve now. Zhu Xiaoqing grinned bitterly, everyone is only too easy to cultivate, and it is not difficult to deal with thirty or fifty people, but outside are hundreds of neatly draped and skilled bows and horses, and trying to fight their way out of the encirclement is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"Sister Xiaoshu?" Yun Yi asked Wang Xiaoshu again, women are more delicate than men, and they may be able to think of a way.

Wang Xiaoshu was frowning and thinking at this time, and did not answer immediately when she heard the words, seeing that Yun Yi's face became more and more anxious, she said: "Don't worry, Master taught us all kinds of skills of Taoism, and naturally we will not fall here." Let's think about it carefully, the master must have taught the method of escape before, but we can't remember it for a while. ”

Yun Yi nodded, thinking quietly, Zuo Ci has taught them a lot of skills, the five qi dragon capture and star chasing the moon are what he is best at the moment, but these two things alone are not enough to break out of the encirclement.

Although his archery technique has improved greatly, his arrows are limited, and there is a big difference between shooting fixed targets and moving targets, so this method can also be excluded.

Not to mention spells, the five of them are all from the ninth grade, and they are not allowed to invite gods and ghosts, and besides, with their current subtle aura, they are not enough to cast other domineering spells.

After thinking of all the ways he could think of, after denying them one by one, Yun Yi became even more anxious, and there was no other way but to fight hard at the moment.

"The technique of Qihuang may be useful. Wang Xiaoshu stretched her brows and said.

"Go and check their pulse, can they let us go?" Zhu Xiaoqing pouted and said.

"Don't interrupt," Wang Xiaoshu glanced at Zhu Xiaoqing: "I have heard that thieves burglarize their homes, and before unlocking the lock, they must figure out the structure of the lock spring, and then pick the lock cylinder, and the lock head will be separated naturally." ”

Hearing this, Yun Yi instantly guessed what Wang Xiaoshu was thinking, and said: "To cure the disease and save people, the doctor must first find out the root of the disease, and then remove it according to the five elements of pharmacological proportion. The root of the disease is the warm water in the kettle, if you do the opposite, the fire will be added, the warm water will become boiling water, and the art of Qihuang will become the art of killing people. ”

"Yes," Wang Xiaoshu nodded with a chuckle: "All herbs are more or less toxic, the human body relies on the liver for detoxification, but the liver can only detoxify small poisons, Shennong died because he accidentally ate the broken intestine grass when he tasted the herbs." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, the broken intestine grass is a highly poisonous thing, if it is eaten by mistake, it will corrode the intestines, and eventually die of abdominal pain. However, the broken intestine grass also has the effect of dispersing stasis and relieving pain, killing insects and relieving itching, and can be used externally to treat many ulcers.

"Qi Huang's technique is originally a method of curing diseases and saving people, and it is inappropriate to use it to kill people and harm heaven and harmony?" Mo Luli had already guessed that Wang Xiaoshu was going to use poison, and he was a little hesitant.

"It's all this time, why are you still so pedantic?" Yun Yi said with a frown.

"Before dawn, hurry back to your room and pack your things, I will prepare poison and act when the opportunity comes. Wang Xiaoshu said again.

Everyone nodded and turned back to their rooms.

When she returned to the house, Yun Yi felt uneasy in her heart, the number of soldiers outside was too much, and the use of poison probably wouldn't have much effect, and what Wang Xiaoshu said just now showed that she didn't have much confidence in this matter, and if she acted so rashly, the chance of breaking out of the encirclement was not very high.

But there is no other way at the moment, but to take the initiative to attack, hoping to catch the opponent off guard. If they delay too long, the soldiers outside will only need to sense the slightest disturbance and guess that the formation has been removed, and their situation will be even more dangerous.

Before going back to the house, he first went to wake up the fat man who was sleeping soundly, and fearing that his loud voice would cause trouble, so he covered his mouth beforehand, and turned to briefly explain what had happened.

"What are you going to pack?" The fat man didn't care where Zuo Ci went, he only cared about how to escape now.

"Do you want me to teach you this?" Yun Yi glanced at the fat man and turned back to the room to pack his things.

There aren't many things to pack, but they're a lot compared to the current situation, because everything you bring with you is a burden, but you can't throw them away.

After a little consideration, Yun Yi only brought a long sword, a bow and arrow, a basket, a magic seal, a drawing of talismans, and a few important scriptures, and the rest of the peach wood swords, copper coin swords and the like were all discarded, and he did not bring a change of clothes.

After packing up, Yun Yi went to the courtyard to meet everyone, he brought fewer things, and went to the courtyard first. The fat man followed, Mo Luli and Zhu Xiaoqing followed. Wang Xiaoshu arrived finally because she had to prepare poison.

"Rushed preparation, not very toxic, not enough to be fatal. Wang Xiaoshu distributed a few paper packets to everyone.

"How to use it?" the fat man asked, scratching his hair, the poison was there, and how to poison it became a problem again.

At this time, everyone was in trouble again, they had never encountered such a predicament before, and it was inevitable that they would not be thoughtful in a hurry, but at this time, the situation was urgent, and the slightest mistake would be lifeless.

"We can't invite the Heavenly Soldiers, but it should be no problem to catch a few lonely souls and wild ghosts, the Yin Soul carries the Yin Wind with them, and the Yin Wind can be used to spread the poison. Mo Luli suggested.

"No," Yun Yi shook his head and vetoed: "These soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their murderous aura is too heavy, how dare ordinary Yin Spirits approach them?"

"Insect consciousness is the most incomplete, and it can draw talismans to control a large number of insects, carrying poisonous powder and flying into the mouth and nose of the enemy. "I wish Xiaoqing advice.

"Where do the bugs come from in the winter?" the fat man tilted his head and pouted.

"There is a north wind today, with the help of the north wind, the powder will be blown to the south, once the soldiers in the south are poisoned, the soldiers on the other three sides will rush to support, and we will take the opportunity to run east. Yun Yi said.

Mo Luli frowned and said: "The wind is not strong today, and the soldiers are dangerous, I'm afraid it's ......."

"Is there any other way right now?" Yun Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Luli.

"Why do you want to run east, isn't it better to scatter and escape?" asked Zhu Xiaoqing.

"There are a few hundred people on the other side, and there are five of us, so it's useless to disperse. Yun Yi shook his head.

"It's better to go north, north and south are the farthest apart. "The fat man is clever to himself.

"Dong Zhuo won't chase too far east. Yun Yi waved his hand, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an not because he wanted to come to Chang'an, but because he was forced by the princes from all walks of life to run away, and he had to abandon Luoyang.

The fat man wanted to ask again, but Yun Yi glanced at him, and instead gathered all the medicine bags and opened them to the edge of the south wall.

Seeing the medicinal powder on the south wall being blown away by the wind, everyone was worried, and regardless of whether the wind could blow the powder away, even if it could be blown away and inhaled by the soldiers in the south, the amount was not large, and it could not be fatal.

After worrying for a long time, there was finally movement outside the south wall, and when I listened carefully, it was the screaming of the soldiers due to abdominal pain, and it could be judged that there were not many people who were poisoned by the shouting, only twenty or thirty people.

All the poisons added up are enough to poison hundreds of people, but when they are blown away by the wind, they consume more, and it is not easy to poison twenty or thirty people.

But there are too few poisoned people, and the poison is not strong, it can't attract the attention of the other soldiers on three sides at all, and the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain will not work.
