Chapter 60: Yemen
Early the next morning, Shen Yan woke up from his meditation. It didn't cause a spiritual riot like the last time in another space, nor did it grow like crazy spiritual power in the ice stream of Guguan Mountain, and this time it was as ordinary as most of the time.
Remembering that Bai Zhi once said that if he had spiritual power, he didn't know that it would be useless in actual combat, and Shen Yan now had more daily lessons to practice swords in the courtyard.
When Su Qing came, she just finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, put away her sword and exhaled behind her.
The familiar coughing sound sounded behind him, and Shen Yan turned around and looked over: "Morning, Master Su." ”
Although Su Qing was still coughing, her complexion was a little better than before. Hearing this, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Miss Shen is early." ”
"The landlord looks much better. Shen Yan walked from the courtyard to the bottom of the porch, looked at Su Qing and said this. Then he thought about it and asked, "But is it because of Master Young Fu?"
Su Qing nodded: "I didn't plan to trouble Master Young Fu, but General Murong brought it up, and Lord Young Master and I revised the formula, which is indeed much better." ”
It's not that the recipe left by Cangming is useless, but this time and that time. In the past, Su Qing didn't do much by herself and used the recipe to warm up, but now there is a shortage of manpower in the north, and she has to take action herself to aggravate her condition, Murong Qing just modified the prescription according to her current situation.
Hearing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but be happy for her: "It would be best if Master Su's condition could improve." ”
Just as he was saying something else, he suddenly saw several sword lights flying from the sky, but in the blink of an eye, they had already landed outside the General's Mansion.
Su Qing looked at the place where the sword light landed, and asked sideways, "Is it a cultivator?"
Shen Yan shook his head: "Among my masters, there are only me and my ancestor now. By the way, last night the young city lord said that his uncles would come here today, and now the one who is coming may be the uncle that the young city lord said. ”
With that, the two of them also walked to the front yard.
The speed of the sword light was too fast when it fell, and now the people of Cthulhu City are evacuating in batches, maybe most of the people did not notice the abnormality in front of the General's Mansion, but as the master here, it is impossible that Murong will not notice.
When Shen Yan and Su Qing came, Murong and Murong Qing had already arrived.
Jinxiu was the last to arrive. He first greeted Murong, and then stepped forward to salute a few men in azure robes who came, "Uncle Shi can be regarded as arriving. ”
The man with the head looked the oldest, with a medium-length hair that was not neatly tied up in a bun like the others, but was just loose. After seeing Jinxiu, he let out a loud laugh and said, "We rushed here as soon as we received the letter from our nephew, but there were other things on the way that delayed us for some time. As he spoke, he looked at Murong and asked, "These two are Murong, the general of Zhenbei, and Lord Murong Qing, the young master of the crown prince, right? ”
Murong hurriedly said: "You guys are coming from afar this time to expect that it is also for the Northern Demon Disaster, Murong is too late to be happy, why do you want to say anything strange?"
"Hahaha, that's good, that's good. Jinyue's temperament was bold, and when he heard this, he said: "Why don't we go in first?"
Murong nodded, turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to everyone, and then walked in front to lead the way.
This time, of course, it was not the room to go to, but to bring everyone to the hall where the guests were gathered.
There were no maids and maids in the general's mansion, and the tea was served only by relatively young soldiers.
After everyone sat down in turn, Jinyue took the initiative to mention the lifting of the ban.
"When we came to the north, we received a call from Bai Zhi Shangxian and went to Guguan Mountain. Now the demon clan has directly crossed the 'gate' of Guguan Mountain for some reason and directly arrived in the northern city, but fortunately, the number is not too large now. With the guidance of the immortals, I came to Cthulhu City to send a message from my nephew asking me to come, and secondly, to explain to General Murong that the people in Yemen City are still saved, but it is not too late to save people, and I am here to save people. ”
Murong had already learned about this matter from Murong Qing's mouth earlier, so he said directly: "This matter was also stated in the message brought by the Lord Zhishi Tuo Rongqing before. We are also talking about going to Yemen to get those people out. Originally, I was a little worried that with our current manpower, I might not have much chance of winning, but now that your seniors have arrived, I am a little more sure. ”
Jin Yue nodded and said, "In that case, I don't know if the general has a plan?"
Murong lowered his eyebrows slightly and said, "This matter was discussed with Rong Qing last night. Both the words of Chiyo-sama and the words of our predecessors indicate that we don't have much time, so I want to leave for Yemen as soon as possible. ”
Jinyue looked at Jinxiu, who nodded imperceptibly, so he also nodded: "That's fine." ”
With that, they made some other additions to the trip to the city of Yemen.
The city of Yemen is now a demon city, and it is completely unrealistic for everyone here to go. Not to mention that Murong only knows some simple spells, Su Qing doesn't understand it at all, because it is best not to use martial arts for physical reasons, and the two of them are destined to not be able to go with them. Besides, there can't be no one in the general's mansion to guard the main business.
In the end, Shen Yan, Jinxiu, Jinyue and Murong Qing took the lead, and took the lead in infiltrating Yemen City to investigate the specific situation with another successor who had just arrived from Yunfu Heavenly City. The guards who came with Jinxiu still stayed in the general's mansion to protect Murong and them. In addition, it was Su Qing who sent some of the top martial arts people on the ninth floor to meet outside the city.
The area of Yemeni city is not large, and it is actually a larger town. The population is not very large, so it is enough to arrange just the right number of people. Once the plan was finalized, everyone wasted no time and immediately began to act on their own.
Unlike Wuyang City, which is not far from Cthulhu, Yemen City is located in an extremely remote location, and the strength of Jinxiu's party allows them to go directly with the sword without being affected by the ban, and Murong Qing is from the only cultivator family who is allowed by the royal family to enter and exit openly, and they are not restricted by this ban, they go first, but Shen Yan's strength is not enough and he does not have the same special gift as Murong Qing, so he can only follow the people on the ninth floor and ride a horse honestly. It is also because of this that after the discussion, the others directly asked her to be in charge of leading the people who answered outside.
In this regard, Shen Yan was not dissatisfied, but the secret letter that Jinxiu stuffed into her hand before leaving made her more concerned.
There were only four words on the letter: the plan begins.
Shen Yan looked at these four words, and some monks were confused. It seems that he didn't understand what this plan was, so he could only burn the letter first and rush to Yemen City to talk about anything else.
Even the best horse can travel from Cthulhu to Yemen in a day.
When Shen Yan and his party arrived, it was already completely dark.
Just from a distance, the city of Yemen seems to be no different from a normal city. There is no demonic aura even in the sky above it, if you don't know the inside story, who would believe that the Yemeni city of the fairy will be a demon city?
Shen Yan stood on a high slope outside the city, looking down at the situation in Yemen.
Although they came first, they are now nowhere to be seen. In other words, there is not a single figure in the city.
The moonlight in the sky was not bright, vaguely with a hazy beauty.
The snow didn't know when it was floating, Shen Yan looked back and told those people who came from the ninth floor to find a shelter from the wind, while he still stood there and watched.
Time is slowly passing, and there is still no movement in the city of Yemen.
Shen Yan suddenly thought of what the secret letter left by Jinxiu meant.
She suspected that there was something wrong with Murong Qing last night, and at that time, Jinxiu said that it was better to find a way to see if this young master was credible, and later said that it would be good to leave the matter to him. Could it be that the plan in his heart was the plan to test Murong Qing?
Thinking like this, Shen Yan also felt that it was possible. But the problem is that she doesn't know exactly what the plan is......
Thinking so, she couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Shen Yan felt that a violent spiritual power fluctuation suddenly erupted in Yemen City, where there had been no movement in front of him.
The rich demonic aura rose to the sky in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it had already enveloped the entire city, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
Such a big change was seen by other people who were not cultivators, and they gathered at this moment.
"Miss Shen, what's wrong?"
Shen Yan shook his head, his gaze always fell on the Yemen city, and said, "It should be the young city lord who alarmed the demons guarding the city." ”
There has been no movement before, but now when there is movement, it is so big, I don't know what the situation in the city is now?
Shen Yan looked worried, if he didn't know that entering the city rashly would not have any effect, but would lose himself, but he was afraid that he would not be able to enter Yemen City at this time.
The moonlight was much more faint and blurry in the demonic aura rising into the sky. It was in the faint light that one after another flew out of the city and hovered above the sky. At the same time, several sword lights flew out, fighting with these trap birds.
Although the strength of the trap bird is inferior, but the number is extremely large, although it is a behemoth, it is very agile when it moves, coupled with the tacit understanding between each other, it actually maintains the upper hand in the sword light.
What are those things?
A thought fell, and then Shen Yan didn't bother to explore the origin of the trap bird, and instead paid attention to those sword lights.
Although most of the cultivators can fly in the wind and perform spells with swords, only sword cultivators who major in swordsmanship will also use their swords to fight the enemy in battle. Only when people and swords are united can we achieve the greatest tacit understanding. The sword moves with your heart, fearlessly. As early as the beginning of the meeting, Shen Yan had already recognized that the people who came from Yunfu Heavenly City were all sword cultivators, so there was no surprise at this moment. What surprised her was that these sword cultivators seemed to be scrupling about something when they fought with the Trap Birds, which was also an important reason why those Trap Birds were able to gain the upper hand.
Obviously, those sword lights had countless opportunities to slash all the trap birds under the sword, but they subconsciously missed the direction every time they approached the trap birds.
Shen Yan looked hard at the situation in the sky, those trap birds flew too fast and kept moving, which was really not very good-looking. But it wasn't for nothing, at least it made her see clearly the existence of a figure in the bird's belly.
There were people sitting in the belly of each of the traps, and they were two people.
It seems that those things that the sword light is afraid of are the people in the belly of the bird.
Shen Yan thought that if he didn't make a mistake, maybe those people in the bird's belly would be the citizens of Yemen City. In this way, there is a reason for them to repeatedly deviate. Although it is the trap bird that has the upper hand now, they can be regarded as able to cope with it easily. As long as it can solve the problem of the person in the belly of the trap bird......
"It's not a ...... way to go on like this"
Everyone knows this problem, but there is no good way to solve the problem right now.
There are two people in the belly of the bird, one is a real person and the people in Yemen City who were originally considered by Murong to have died at the hands of the demon clan, and the other is a demon. Of course, it is possible to destroy the wings of the trap bird and make it fall, but before that, the people who were still saved will be killed by the demon clan in the same room as soon as possible. This is what makes them helpless.
Although Shen Yan, who is far away from Yemen, does not know this, he can also see their scruples. It's just visible, but it's useless.
Jinxiu came out of the sword, stepped on the flying sword and stood in the void looking at these trap birds, a pair of brows furrowed: "You have to find a way to kill those demon soldiers first." ”
It is a human being who controls the trap birds, but a few trap birds have fallen before, which also makes them understand that these people are the shield of the demon clan, even if Jinxiu and the others have a way to directly attack the demon soldiers, as long as they are not killed with one hit, the other party will directly attack the people next to them. And even if the demon clan is successfully killed, it seems that there is another mechanism in the bird's belly, as long as the demon soldier dies, another person will be killed.
Such a dilemma made Jinxiu feel a little embarrassed.
Beside him, Murong Qing also appeared from the sword, looked at the current situation and sighed slightly: "It's a bit troublesome now." ”
If you destroy these trap birds, the people inside will die, and then there will be no point in coming here. Without destroying these trap birds, his own side is completely contained.
Jinxiu glanced sideways slightly, and asked, "Can Master Young Master know the origin of these trap birds?"
Murong Qing shook his head: "It's not clear. In the records of the other side, the demon clan has always been very confident in their own strength, and they should not work these external forces. ”
Jinxiu said: "These trap birds are wind falcons. Driven by demonic power, it can also be driven by the power of the wind. In addition to these, there are other forms of trap beasts, including those that fly in the sky, those that run on the ground, and those that swim in the sea....... If the Demon Race is not only able to create and control the Wind Falcon, then when it is time for them to attack the mainland, the Terran army may be completely powerless to resist. ”
When Murong Qing heard this, his brows furrowed and said, "If this is the case, it is indeed a problem. ....... Since the young city lord knows this, I don't know who created these trap beasts?"
Jinxiu lowered her brows and said, "There are not many records about the trap beast in the city, but it is faintly revealed that it is related to the goddess Mingyue. ”
"This, how could it be?" Murong Qing's eyes were full of surprise, he saw that Jinxiu didn't seem to be joking, and muttered: "If these trap beasts are from the hands of the goddess, then they should also be in the hands of humans, how can they appear in the hands of the demon clan?"
