Volume 3 [The Mystery of Longquan] 266: Yangtun Mountain is rampant
After listening to the old man's words, Wudaozi had no choice but to accept this cruel reality. I thought to myself: If you want to break the curse, you have to find those three sets of elven secret arts. But now there are only two people, myself and this old man, if we can mobilize more people to search, obviously there will be more chances of finding it. So he said to the old man, "I have a way."
The old man hurriedly asked, "Oh, what way?"
Wu Daozi said: "If the two of us want to find those three things, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a needle in a haystack." Why don't we give the fruit to more people to eat. In this way, breaking the curse is not a matter for the two of us, but for everyone. The greater the strength of the population, the greater the chance of finding the three things. ”
When the old man heard this, this did make sense. The more people mobilized, the wider the sources. So he asked, "But we can't leave here for too long, where can we find so many people?"
"At present, it is the time when the two armies of the Great Desert and the Western Regions are facing each other, and the lack of food and grass has always been an urgent problem for the two forces to solve. There are 40,000 people on the Western Regions side, and more than 80,000 people on the desert side. This is a great time for us to send fruit."
The old man hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I am a person from the desert, how can I harm the army of the desert."
Wu Daozi laughed at him for being stupid, just a woman's kindness: "When is this happening, I am still thinking about others." How many people in the desert have died on the battlefield, and even if you don't feed them fruit, most of them will end up with a horse leather shroud. Since you don't want to poison the desert, then you are responsible for distributing the fruit to the people of the Western Regions.
"Since the third sister has run away, don't think about it for the time being. Concentrate on solving the difficulties of the Western Regions, and it is not too late to settle the grievances of Taoism in the future. There hasn't been any movement on the Underworld's side for two days, and I don't know what tricks they're up to. Nebula said wistfully.
Xian'er also wondered: "Yes, damn Minglun, if you fight, you will drag mud and water, and shit and sticky." If you want to fight, you will fight, and if you don't fight, you will withdraw the army, and the two armies are as ambiguous as if they were relatively similar. Trapping us in the mountains, is it to let these soldiers of the Western Regions starve to death?"
Damuti said: "It's really not good, let's take the initiative to call the war, let's always stay up like this, and the soldiers will not be able to bear it." Rather than starve to death, it is better to fight the enemy army happily."
Suddenly, the king of Tsarcin ran in happily and said, "There is salvation, there is salvation."
When everyone heard this, they all stood up inexplicably and looked at King Tsartin in puzzlement
King Zarqin gasped and said, "I have just eaten, and there is an old man in the mountain who has specially sent a lot of fruit in order to support the soldiers. ”
"A lot of fruit," Xingyun asked in wonder, "what kind of person would be so kind?"
King Tsarcin knew that Xingyun was very vigilant, so he reassured, "Rest assured, Anbang is a lonely old man in this mountain. He lived in seclusion alone in Xilin, planted a lot of fruit trees, and knew that the soldiers were suffering, so he specially donated them to us. ”
Xingyun thought for a moment: the desert has surrounded this place, and outsiders can't easily enter it. Since King Qin knew that he was an old man in the mountains, there must be nothing wrong with him. So I let go of my uneasy heart: "Let's go out and have a look, sisters"
When the sisters came out, they saw that fruit was being distributed in the barracks. Everyone was lining up, walking in front of the Huotou army one by one, and the moment they took the fruit in their hands, they all showed happy smiles.
When the sisters saw these lovely warriors, they felt an indescribable bitterness in their hearts. It is they who defend the dignity of the people with their lives, although they do not know if they will have the opportunity to see their mothers, wives and children again, but they can still fearlessly stick to the front line of the battle. Because he can get a piece of fruit and don't smile, people who are so easily satisfied are really amiable and respectable
The sisters all joined the queue to distribute the fruits. If nothing else, just to allow the soldiers behind to eat the fruit earlier and show a happy smile earlier
In the desert barracks, a similar scene was also staged. Seeing that Wu Daozi had not only come back unscathed, but also brought such a precious fruit. I couldn't help but give a big hug to Wudaozi
"The Divine Monarch really knows from the past, knowing that we are short of materials, and we have found so many fruits, this seat should really give you a credit hahaha"
The Void God Monarch smiled treacherously: Don't give me any credit first, if you don't know it, you should give me a big demerit
Styl asked, "But, your appearance"
Wu Daozi said: "Oh, hehe, this is the camouflage technique of the poor Dao, if I didn't turn into a tanuki, I wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of the Sanshan Gate."
Minglun laughed and said: "Hahaha understand that my eyes are also when I turn into a god, we are blinded by a hundred miles of nebula, let's not stand and say, sit inside"
Wu Daozi hurriedly stretched out his hand and refused: "No need, I still have to bring some soldiers to pick fruits, this little fruit is not enough for more than 80,000 people to share." When the soldiers are fed, we will discuss with the king how to break the enemy."
night
There were several screams in the barracks, and some of the soldiers noticed that they had changed their appearances and shouted in panic. The sleeping people were also awakened by the screams beside them, and when they found that their comrades had changed, they all touched their cheeks one after another, and they all screamed one after another. For a time, the Western Regions camp army was in turmoil, and mourning was everywhere
Hearing this, Xingyun and the others hurriedly put on their clothes and ran out to check the situation, and a group of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods scurried around with their heads under the moon shadow. All the fighters changed their faces. Some have become sharp-beaked monkey gills, some have become bull heads and horse faces, some have become tiger backs and snake waists, and some have become rat-eyed hawk's beaks. The sisters were shocked, wondering why this had come to be
A bonfire was also lit in the desert barracks, and the sounds of crying, shouting, and shouting were faintly heard under the entire Yangtun Mountain.
King Shenlun and several generals rushed out of the camp tent, and when they saw the bustling and chaotic military camp, their eyes widened and they showed a look of consternation.
"Lord, what's going on, here, this, how did the soldiers become like this," Bahoro asked in surprise.
Ying Lun shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know. I guessed in my heart: Could it be that the people of Sanshanmen poisoned our army
He was thinking about it when someone on the side suddenly prompted: "Could it be that the lord eats a different fruit during the day?"
Only then did he remember that Wudaozi had brought so many fruits during the day, and they had all been distributed to the soldiers. He and several generals did not eat, so they were all safe and sound. In this way, there is a problem with the fruit.
"No way," Minglun yelled
A seven-star scoop armor flew in the air, flew to the camp and turned into a human and fell to the ground: "Hahahaha, don't guess that I did it." Wu Daozi fell in front of the underworld and confessed.
When he heard this, his heart suddenly rose with murderous intent, and he glared at the tiger and asked, "Why did you do this?"
Wu Daozi said: "I didn't harm you. It's just that these people can't resist the temptation, and they eat it voluntarily. You don't need to be angry, because it's not just the desert, you look at the mountains," he said, pointing to the Western Regions barracks on Yangtun Mountain with floating dust.
Shen Lun looked in the direction pointed by Wu Daozi, and saw that the mountain was also brightly lit and crowded.
"Who instructed you to do this, what is the plan?"
Wu Daozi smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not as ambitious as you. This matter has nothing to do with the war between the desert and the Western Regions, I just want to borrow some people from you to use, as long as you can help me find three things, this curse will be broken. At that time, you and the Western Regions will be at war or peace, and you will have nothing to do with me. ”
Here, Wu Daozi and Underworld are negotiating. On the other side of the Western Regions, the old man in the mountains also came out to clarify his intentions.
"Those of you who have eaten the poisonous fruit cannot do without it every day. Just listen to me and look for three things for me, and maybe we will all be saved. Otherwise, no one can do without the forest on the west mountain of Yangtun Bend. ”
Nebula asked, "What three things?"
The old man informed: "The first is the Bone Secret Technique, the second is the Hundred Herbs Heart Sutra, and the third is the Imitation Divine Skill. These are all magic skills that the elves have never passed on. Legend has it that it has already been snatched by the people of the Three Realms of Immortals and Demons. As long as these three secret techniques are found, the curse may be lifted. ”
Li Xiaoxiao heard that it was the Hundred Herbs Heart Sutra, and was just about to open his mouth to prompt Xingyun
Xingyun seemed to know what he was going to say, and immediately crossed his jade arm in front of Xiaoxiao, signaling him not to speak. Then he said to the old man, "Okay, we will help you find these three things, but how can you ensure the safety of my soldiers?"
The old man asked, "Then how can you convince me that with just a few of you, you will definitely be able to find those three things?"
The old man's implication was that there was no guarantee for either side of the deal, and Nebula had no choice at the moment. Seeing that Xingyun was in a dilemma, in order not to mess things up, he took a step back and said, "It's better to go find those three things, and I will take all the soldiers here to the forest and help you take care of them." As soon as you find something, come to the woods and redeem these soldiers. I'll make sure that no one will dare touch these people until you return. ”
Li Xiaoxiao asked, "What do you do to ensure the safety of so many soldiers?"
The old man smiled: "Believe it or not, you are not only eating the fruit now, but also the soldiers in the desert under the mountain. At this juncture, whoever is in the mood to fight will become deformed as long as he does not eat fruit for a day. Now that the fruit tree is in my hands, do you think I have the confidence to keep you safe?"
Piaoxue saw that these soldiers had become depressed and decadent one by one. I couldn't bear it in my heart, so I whispered to Xingyun: "Eldest sister promise him, the secret technique of the bone is in He Lingyun's hands." ”
When Xingyun heard this, he suddenly had a bottom in his heart. He Lingyun has the Bone Secret Technique in his hand, and Li Xiaoxiao has the Hundred Herbs Heart Sutra in his hand. In this way, there are already two of the three things. If you find one more, you can save these poor soldiers.
"Okay, I promise you, but you also have to promise me one condition," Nebula haggled.
"Oh what conditions"
"If it's the three things we helped you find, then you just need to help us. You can't save it over there in the desert."
The old man pondered for a moment and replied: "I said this, once the curse is lifted, all the fruits will be invalid, and the people on the other side of the desert will naturally be saved, but I can order the desert to retreat."
Lu Feiyan said: "How do you make us believe that once everyone is saved, then what will you use to threaten the desert and force the Hades Dharma King to withdraw his troops?"
The old man looked up to the sky with a wooden staff and smiled, laughing enough, and said: "Haha, do you know who I am, I was the first warrior in the desert, and I am also the righteous brother of the King of Hari Machi. It was I who introduced him to Hadan, the second son of King Amur, and also supported the throne of Hadan. Do you think I'm qualified to let the Underworld retire?"
