Chapter 17 The wind wants to stop, but the flags move
At midnight, Chu Xunyu, Mu Yuan, and Guanyue Xiaosheng stood on the roof of a building, looking at the Yuan soldiers below. Mu Yuan sighed and said, "It's been a few days, and it seems that there is still no end in sight." There was a hint of gloom in the eyes of the moon watcher, and Chu Xunyu was still so calm looking at everything downstairs.
For five days in a row, the remains of Yuanmeng will appear every day until midnight, Chu Xunyu and his party are no longer surprised, the only difference is that on the limbs of these bones, the new flesh and bones are already visible to the naked eye, and the appearance looks nondescript, but it is still fierce, Mu Yuan's power of Buddha's light at this time has been greatly reduced, and the power of the living person is getting smaller and smaller.
Chu Xunyu and his entourage set up fifteen small defensive formations in the city, protected fifteen large buildings, and accommodated a large number of civilians.
When the dawn of the sixth day came, these wrecks still returned to their homeland, Chu Xunyu and the three of them returned to the inn, and as soon as they entered the gate, Mei Wan greeted them and asked, "Is there still no result?" Guanyue shook her head, and Mei Wan was speechless.
The three of them walked to the table and sat down, and Mu Yuan asked, "What about Senior Sister Shang Qian?"
"She's gone to the city to take care of the wounded people, and she won't be back until a while. Mei Wan came over with a pot of tea and replied closely.
"Well, let's go rest first, and wait for Senior Sister Shang Qian to come back and see if there is any new news outside. ”
When the noon sun hit the roof, Shang Qian came back, the difference is that she didn't come back alone, there were a few people in the group, Chu Xunyu They all felt the breath and went downstairs at the same time, and saw a few young people behind Shang Qian, the breath on his body obviously indicated that he was a monk, but his cultivation was not high, and the highest was just Kaiguang and building a foundation.
They all looked at Shang Qian with questioning eyes, and Shang Qian explained that it turned out that these people were met when they were healing mortals in the city in the past few days, and they were monks from Tiantai Mountain and Kaiming Temple outside Hanzhong City. Now the space and time in the city are reversed, and I can't get out, so I have to stay in the city to save people. was met by Shang Qian, and brought it back, after all, in the current situation, it seems that gathering people together will get more help.
The young man at the head of the group shook his head and said, "Tiantai Mountain Zhao Wen, I have seen all the senior brothers. ”
Everyone nodded, and didn't mean to say much, seeing this scene, Chu Xunyu opened his mouth and continued: "You have to work, now in this situation in the city, it is impossible for you to go out for the time being, I don't know what else you have to do?"
Zhao Wen, who was the leader, replied: "Don't hide it from you, we ourselves are desperate, we want to contact the division to report the situation, but we can't spread the news, we can only stay in the city to treat the people, I didn't expect to meet your senior brothers and seniors today, and your cultivation is profound, have you found any clues?"
Chu Xunyu shook his head: "At present, there are no clues, but according to the current situation, such a situation is continuous according to time, it may end tonight, or it may be many years before there will be results, in short, there are great supernatural powers who have reversed time, what are you looking for, you just need to take care of yourself and all mortals, after all, these Yuanmeng remnants will not pose much threat to us." ”
As soon as these words came out, those low-level disciples all talked about it, and they had all kinds of expressions, and several people shook their heads after looking at it for a while, and Mu Yuan said loudly: "In this way, since you don't have any good ways, you will cooperate with Senior Sister Shang Qian in the city to treat everyone, and at the same time, you must secretly pay attention to any special circumstances every night, if there are any accidents or things that need help, you can come to us." ”
After speaking, Mu Yuan quietly waited for these people's answers. What other reply can there be? These people are just low-level disciples, and they have never seen much of the world, so when they heard this, they had no choice but to agree, hoping that such days would end soon.
When the people saw their reply, they had nothing more to say, and began to go on like this again. More than ten days have passed, and the situation has not improved at all. On the night of the sixteenth day, everyone was still sitting at the table in the lobby, you know, for sixteen days, watching the same picture every day, anyone would be annoyed. Everyone was at a loss, but Chu Xunyu was still waiting so calmly, but Shang Qian couldn't bear it anymore, and said first: "Senior brothers, after so many days, is there no way at all?"
Mu Yuan secretly smiled bitterly: "Everyone, your respective bodies have already noticed it." ”
Shang Qian asked strangely, "What do you perceive?"
"The aura is lost, and the cultivation is degraded. Chu Xunyu said calmly.
Shang Qian was shocked for a while, as if she didn't believe it, at this time, Mei Wan stretched out her arm, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Yes, everyone, please take a look." ”
Everyone looked at it at a glance, only to see that the aura on Mei Wan's arm fluctuated irregularly. It turned out that on that day, because Mei Wan's appearance was too frightening to the laity, so, before entering the city, she transformed into an ordinary peasant woman, and now her cultivation is regressive, and the illusion technique of this Jindan period can no longer be supported, the aura on her arm is unstable, and the fair and beautiful complexion of Mei Wan's own body has loomed.
Shang Qian also understood what was going on, and thought that this was the rumored four beauties, but it was just an exaggeration, relying on her famous background, but now that she saw the clues, she knew that this woman might really have the appearance of a celestial person. Thinking of this, I actually had an inexplicable sense of loss in my heart, and I didn't expect Mei Wan's true intention to show everyone her arms, which really made people laugh and cry.
Guanyue Xiaosheng also said: "The aura in my body has also been passing, and my cultivation is obviously suspected of regression, and I have been pressing it for the past few days, but every day that passes, it is difficult to get a minute, and I can't last a few days before I retreat." ”
Chu Xunyu said: "There is no need to resist, it's just in vain, now forcibly stabilizing yourself is ineffective at all, this is the power of one person, fighting against the entire tide of time, and it is better to use the mantis arm as a car, or save some effort to deal with unexpected situations that arise at any time." ”
"But," Mu Yuan said, "this situation can't go on forever, we must find out what the cause is, and put an end to this." ”
Chu Xunyu asked again: "How is it outside these days?"
Shang Qian came back to his senses and replied: "In the past few days, most of the mortals have stabilized their emotions, knowing that the building we have laid down the enchantment is safe, they have all hid in it, and with the help of those low-level disciples, there are no too many casualties." ”
Chu Xunyu nodded, and continued: "Don't take it lightly, with the regression of time, the enchantment under our cloth will not be stable, the three of us will reinforce them in the next few days, fortunately, it is just a very simple formation, against the mortal soldiers, even if our cultivation is a little backward, it is enough to deal with it." ”
Mu Yuan added: "One more point, those wrecks outside can already speak some simple words these days, although it is only a few words, but it should not be too far from the day when they will regain their sanity." ”
But Chu Xunyu was happy to hear this news, it seemed that it would not be long before he would know the answer, and suddenly looked around and asked, "Huh, where is Gao Wei?"
Mu Yuan laughed: "These days, he can't intervene, it's stuffy, no, I heard that the Yuan soldiers outside were a little sane, and when they saw that they were back to normal, they rushed out to save people." ”
Guanyue also smiled: "It's fake to save people, it's true that you can't hold back and want to cut people." ”
Chu Xunyu frowned and said: "He is a mortal, and the Yuan soldiers outside are no threat to us, but there are too many people, and he will be in big trouble." ”
Mu Yuan laughed: "Don't worry, before leaving, I cast a vajra spell on him, protecting his whole body, it is useless to cultivators, but it is more than enough to defend against these ordinary swords, guns and sticks." ”
As he was talking, the door of the inn was knocked open by a figure, and with a thick bloody aura, Gao Wei rushed in with a big knife in his hand, shouting: "It's so happy, it's really happy." ”
The blood color of his body stained most of his body red, and he sat down without any scruples, grabbed a pot of tea, and poured it into his mouth. This bloody body frightened Shang Qian, but Mei Wan and Guanyue looked at him with very appreciative eyes.
Chu Xunyu hurriedly asked, "Is Senior Brother injured?"
Gao Wei shook his big hand like a fan: "No, no, thanks to Hua Da, oh, no, Master Mu Yuan's spell, King Kong is not bad." I've been suffocated for the past few days, and I'm so happy. By the way, when we were fighting, if Master Mu Yuan had given each of us a spell like this, wouldn't we have swept the world long ago, what else would we fight? ”
Mu Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, "We have our own rules, we can't meddle in the affairs of the world, otherwise we will mess with the way of heaven." Today, these soldiers outside seem to be mortals, but they are all dead people who have been awakened by others, so we can't interfere with the rules of the world. ”
Gao Wei could not understand these heavenly ways, but he also knew that they had their own troubles, so he stopped mentioning this matter. But suddenly remembered, he said: "But today, these people already have their own consciousness, if I cut them, they will dodge themselves, and if they are injured, they will also shout." ”
"Huh?" When the three of them heard this, they had a plan in their hearts, and gradually began to recover, and it seemed that it would not be long before the end would come to an end. discussed again, and in the past few days, we have been going step by step and waiting for things to develop.
At the same time, in the middle of Emei Mountain in Xishu, in the center of the main hall of the Emei faction, an old man is not angry and self-assured, his face is thin, but his eyes have a unique delicate color, wearing a plain robe, sitting in the middle of the hall, he is the head of the Emei faction today, "Pingfeng Daoren".
Today's discussion in the main hall, the people of Pingfeng Dao first opened their mouths and said to the elders: "Recently, I have felt in my heart, as if there is a catastrophe happening, I don't know if it is really going to fall on Mount Emei, I don't know if you have found anything strange in recent days." ”
Everyone in the room shook their heads, not feeling anything strange. The head sighed: "Isn't it because I'm too careful?"
At this time, a Taoist aunt sat down with her left hand and stood up, it was the senior sister of the head of the house, the Taoist name "Pinglan", gave a salute, and said slowly: "At present, the four seas are leveling, the world is decided, there will be no catastrophe in the world, otherwise Tianji Pavilion will have a warning, but the worry of the head is not unreasonable, I suggest that the mountain is closed for a hundred years now, recuperate, in order to avoid the catastrophe, a hundred years, in the eyes of our cultivators, but like a white horse passing through the gap, with a flick of the fingers." ”
At the same time, a Taoist on the right hand raised an objection: "Although Senior Sister Pinglan's words are reasonable, but now that the mountain gate is open, the ceremony of accepting disciples once in a year is imminent, how can you easily retreat?"
At this time, the head of Pingfeng decisively said: "Senior Sister Pinglan's words are reasonable, but the apprenticeship ceremony once in Jiazi should not be missed, in this way, the apprenticeship ceremony will be held in three days. ”
"Follow the Boss's Decree. Everyone sat down and answered in unison.
"Yes. The head continued: "In this case, let's go back and prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony, but don't leak the news of the mountain closure, so as not to attract criticism." ”
"Yes. And they said again, and took their leave.
Suddenly, the Pingfeng Daoist shouted, "Senior sister, wait." ”
Pinglan turned around and asked, "What else does Senior Brother have to order?"
"In recent days, how is Yu Mo?"
"She's been studying in Qingyin Pavilion these days, what's the matter? Why did the senior brother in charge ask like this?" Pinglan replied strangely.
The head shook his head and said secretly: "I don't know, but I have been restless recently, Yu Mo was one of the eight juniors of the Central Plains back then, and he was the hope of my family, so nothing can happen." ”
Pinglan nodded and said, "Well, I'll pay attention to it these days." But this girl is just too silent to talk about it, and even if there is something, she won't necessarily say anything. ”
Pingfeng sighed: "Because of this, you have to pay more attention." ”
Pinglan nodded in response, and then said goodbye to the head of the house.
At this time, in the mountain village at the foot of Mount Emei, an old man appeared, wearing a hat, holding a pink, extremely cute little girl in his hand. The old man looked up at Mount Emei, which he didn't know how high it was, and asked curiously: "Is this Mount Emei?" Speaking of which, I haven't been here yet, and the momentum is also majestic. ”
The little girl smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, in a few days, it will be a ceremony for accepting apprentices once every Jiazi, and it's been a long time, and I haven't come back." ”
The majestic Mount Emei is like an old man, looking at the old and the young condescendingly, and there is no sound for a long time......
