Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Beast Tide Appears
As soon as he finished speaking, a large cloud fell from the sky and pressed down on the heads of everyone. As the girl pinched the trick in her hand, the clouds scattered, and a big ship appeared in front of everyone.
The boat is thirty zhang long, no curtain and no sail, the three-storey palace building is repaired, decorated with cloud seal wind pattern, the whole body is blue and white, Ambilight is colorful, just like one.
The girl turned into a streamer and flew to the top floor of the hall to stand still, and when the rest saw this, they boarded the boat one after another, and each looked for a place to live.
Under the leadership of Wang Qing, the five people of Yuan Qing found five adjacent rooms on the second floor near the bow of the ship. The room is quite spacious, enough to see three zhang square, a few incense burners, screen couches. There is also a small formation, if you look closely, it should be used for sound insulation.
Seeing that everyone had boarded the boat, the girl turned and walked into the temple. There was a huge magic circle carved on the ground of the green jade, the pattern of the formation was tight and complex, and there were several grooves in the array.
I saw her flip over her palm and take out a few spirit stones, the brilliance was shining, and the aura was compelling. With a light throw, the spirit stone fell into each groove accurately, and it was tightly sealed. The magic trick was played, there was a buzz, and the magic circle was full of spiritual light, and then the clouds and mist rose in all directions, and the flying boat turned into a cloud of green clouds and went away in the sky. The speed was extremely fast, and in a few breaths it reached the edge of the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Qing took a look around the house, and then laid down the Six Yang Ren Water Array, and then came to the deck and looked at the scenery outside the ship with Ling'er and the others.
Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded in her ears: "More than a month of travel, you wait for yourself." ”
"Brother Wang, who is this senior sister?" asked Liu Han after hearing the cold female voice.
Before Wang Qing could answer, he heard a deep voice coming: "This is Senior Sister Bai Zhi, the registered disciple of the head of the sect." Then I saw a sturdy man dressed in blue brocade with short hair and beard walking forward, followed by a woman in red with a delicate face.
"Hahaha, Brother Han, you're here too. This is Sister Ling!" Wang Qing said with a smile when he saw the visitor.
The two smiled slightly, arched their hands and said:
"Han Dongxing"
"Han Hongrui"
"I've seen all of you. ”
Everyone returned the salute.
Han Dongxing glanced at Zhu Ling'er and said, "This is Senior Sister Zhu Linger." Sure enough, Zhong Ling is handsome, and Lan Xinhui is good. Then he turned to Liu and Li and asked, "I don't know who the two junior brothers are?"
"Liu Han. ”
"Li Yang. ”
Then he arched his hand at Wang Qing, Zhu Ling'er, and Yuan Qing and said: "I'm ashamed to say that I haven't had time to thank the three for their help." Han has a little thin wine, if you don't give it up, you might as well come to my room for a while. ”
When Wang Qing heard that there was wine, his heart moved, and he answered the exit.
Yuan Qing smiled lightly and said, "Yuan still wants to meditate, so he won't go." ”
Zhu Ling'er also said: "My little sister still needs to breathe, thank you Brother Han for your kindness." ”
Han Dongxing did not show displeasure, smiled faintly and said goodbye, and then went back to the room with Wang Qingxiang to drink.
Han Hongrui had a cold appearance from beginning to end, and after glancing at Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er intentionally or unintentionally, she turned around and left.
The remaining four chatted a few words and then went back to their respective rooms.
Yuan Qing returned to the room and sat down, turned over and took out a white jade cylinder and put it on his eyebrows, contemplating it.
What is recorded in the jade cylinder is a method of concealment, which was purchased from Chen Mu's hands. I don't know if it's because he really doesn't have a talent for magic or some other reason, the boy has been enlightened for a few days, but he is still slow to enter the realm.
Speaking of which, since Yuan Qing decided to participate in the war, he really made a lot of preparations.
First, I went to the Consul's Hall to receive an offering for ten years, and then went to the Hall of Merit to take over the task, and by the way, I saw if there was anything to change.
The task description is quite brief, and it is not much different from what Xu Jingtian said, except that there is an additional item that you can get merit points by killing demon beasts, and the merits obtained are related to the level of the demon beasts killed: fifty points for a second-level demon beast, seventy-five points for three-level, one hundred and fifty points for four-level, and one thousand points for five-level......
After twenty years of retreat and penance, Yuan Qing still has more than 700 merit points left, and there are no other magic weapons except for a water-breaking sword.
Looking at the things on the list, they are inevitably too expensive. Any exercise requires hundreds of merits, and a superb defensive magic weapon is as high as seven hundred merits, especially after seeing that a fist-sized piece of Taiyin Xuantie requires tens of thousands of [merits], the young man completely gave up the idea of exchanging merit points for magic weapons, turned his head and went straight to Tongbao Building.
Tongbao Building was already overcrowded, and it took two teas to reach him. Chen Mu was still smiling when he saw Yuan Qing, but he didn't use any words anymore, he went straight to the point, and he was also very happy when he negotiated the price.
While the two were chatting, Chen Mu specially told Yuan Qing that he was also going to the front line, but not to participate in the war, but to do business and buy monster materials. also promised Yuan Qing that the price would be satisfactory.
Yuan Qing just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
In the end, the young man spent a lot of spirit stones on his body, bought several bottles of healing pills, a few defensive talismans, a concealment spell, a high-grade spirit boat, and a cloud silk moon white magic robe. This vestment is the best, avoiding water and fire, and the talisman treasure light is extremely tough, and it is difficult to break through ordinary means.
Back at Qingyuanju, Yuan Qing changed into a magic robe and went into the secret room to comprehend the concealment method, and it was not until seven days later that all the formations were put away and the ship set off.
More than ten days have passed.
Yuan Qing sat in the room, pinching the recipe with both hands, and chanting words in his mouth. Gradually, its form became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into a phantom, as if it was about to dissipate as soon as the wind blew. The boy looked at his hands and nodded in satisfaction. The mind moved slightly, and the silver light flashed, and it returned to normal.
Then, Yuan Qing took out the water-breaking sword and put it in front of him, stretched out his palm, and stroked the sword body inch by inch, and the palm was shining silver. The snow-white sword body gradually glowed with light and became crystal clear, and the sword body also trembled slightly, letting out a low whining sound.
More than ten days have passed.
Yuan Qing put away the array equipment, walked out of the house, and came to the side of the ship. Although the clouds were shrouded outside, it was clear from the inside, and there was no sound of wind.
Gradually, the speed of the boat slowed down, and the scenery below changed from the rolling hills and dense forests to the abandoned sergeants and displaced refugees, dressed in rags and formed into several long dragons, with no end in sight.
"With so many displaced people, it seems that the disaster should not be underestimated. Li Yang didn't know when he came to the side of the boat and said in a deep voice.
"Alas, in the wilderness, I don't know what these people are going to do. Liu Han sighed on the side and continued.
Zhu Ling'er sighed lightly and stood silently beside Yuan Qing.
Wang Qing stood on the other side, picked up the gourd and poured a big mouthful, looked into the distance, and sneered.
Yuan Qing noticed the arrival of everyone in the morning, and he didn't look back, just looked at the endless flow of people, his eyes were sharp, the killing intent in his heart was blazing, and the blood in his body was boiling.
It didn't take long for all the cultivators on the boat to come to the side of the boat, looking at the bleak scene below, silent, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy for a while.
Suddenly, a few wolf howls came, and then I saw several green shadows coming from the distant mountains and rushing straight to the crowd. As soon as the people cried, they scattered as birds and beasts.
In the blink of an eye, the wolves had entered the flow of people, pounced left and right, and suddenly mourned all over the ground, and corpses were all over the field. There are brave warriors, pick up the roadside sticks and stones to fight to the death, but the physical endurance is far from the same, a few faces were bitten off the neck, blood splashed three feet.
Yuan Qing saw this scene, called out the broken water and was about to take out the sword, and suddenly saw a white rainbow flying down from the top floor like a flying fairy out of the sky, suddenly turned into more than ten ways, and in the blink of an eye, the wolves were all beheaded, and then merged into one in mid-air, and exploded with a "bang", turning into a rain sprinkled on the homeless.
The people below all kowtowed and bowed, calling for immortals. There are injured people, when they encounter this rain, they will recover as before in a moment or three, and they want to thank Xian En when they get up from the ground, but they just look up and look around, and they can't even see a cloud, let alone say anything about immortals.
The spaceship continued to move forward, and Senior Sister Bai Zhi remained silent. Yuan Qing's good impression of him increased sharply, and he only felt that my generation of monks should be like this, and when he saw that the road was uneven, he drew his sword and cut it, and he brushed his clothes away, hiding his merit and fame.
Zhu Linger had something else to think at the moment.
In her view, all beings are equal, and humans and beasts are living beings. People can kill and eat, and naturally they can also feed the beasts, which is the principle of the cycle of cause and effect. Even if he can't be indifferent to the beast, he won't help because ordinary beasts prey on mortals. At this time, there are monks hanging high in the sky, and their life and death will be decided with a snap of their fingers, so is his cultivation high enough that he can also determine the life and death of the people in a single thought?
About a quarter of an hour later, the ship passed through a seven-mile city, and the streets of the city were empty, and the people did not leave their homes, and the soldiers were all dressed in strong armor and armed with sharp blades, and they were waiting for the battle.
After traveling more than ten miles, the flying boat stopped above a capital city more than ten miles square. The city was empty, and there were no peddlers or pawns, only armored soldiers guarding the walls.
After a cold "arrived", everyone got off the boat, and their magic weapons floated in the air.
Then I saw this senior sister Bai Zhi pinching the trick, and the thirty-zhang long boat became the size of a palm in the flash of spiritual light, fell on her hand, and disappeared when the palm was turned. Then he led the crowd down to the palace in the center of the city.
In the main hall, a man more than seven feet tall, dressed in a purple robe, with a majestic face stood with his hands in his hands.
Bai Zhi walked up to him and saluted solemnly, "Senior Brother Mei." ”
The man also solemnly returned the salute and said, "Senior Sister Bai has worked hard. ”
Seeing this, the rest of the people also bowed and saluted, and said, "I've seen Senior Brother Mei." ”
After greeting everyone, the man said loudly: "In Xia Mei Xinyi, temporarily take the post of pre-war director." The name of the city is Xin'an, which is the residence of my Xuanyuan disciples. ”
"Most of the beast tide this time are ordinary fierce beasts, and the rest are demon beasts in the Qi cultivation and foundation building realms, all of which are the leaders of the beast herd, giving orders. Demon beasts above the Dan period are extremely rare, and there are the master of the sect and the senior brothers in the Dan period who are responsible, so you don't have to worry. Your task is to stop the demon beasts below the Dan stage in the beast tide, so that the dragons will be leaderless. In this way, the beast tide will be self-defeating."
"At this time, the beast herd is still a hundred miles away, and the senior brothers of the various Dan stages have already explored first. At this rate, the army will be in the city in three days. A large array has been carved into the surrounding city walls, so please prepare as soon as possible. On the battlefield, life and death are at your own risk. ”
"By the way, all the people of the city have been evacuated, and the soldiers are camped in the west of the city, and you can choose your own place to live in the rest of the city. After speaking, he walked to the back hall with Bai Zhi and discussed something in a low voice.
When they saw this, they returned the salute and dispersed.
Yuan Qing and others chose a courtyard in the south of the city as a resting place, with rockeries and flowing water, wings and water pavilions, and a small martial arts arena in the backyard, which was quite similar to the Yuan Mansion, which reminded him of his hometown thousands of miles away.
After a brief discussion, the five of them went back to their rooms to meditate and pranayama. Wang Qing flew around the mansion, and set up two large arrays in a row before returning to his room with peace of mind and waiting for the three-day period.
Three days later.
A group of soldiers are stubborn and stubborn, standing on the city wall, united in spirit and spirit, ready for battle. Hundreds of monks in the foundation period have their own multipliers, floating on them.
After a while, I saw a black line rolling from the sky. This was followed by the deafening roar of the galloping beasts and the fierce roars of the beasts.
Five miles in front of the city, the beasts stood like a group of well-trained soldiers.
A three-zhang mottled tiger slowly walked in front of the herd, looking at the towering city wall and the figures in the sky, and let out a beast roar.
"Whew......"
