Chapter 212: A Lonely City Without Help

The city cheered, and with the eleven Pangshan Daoists rising, it was not only amazement, but also hope and confidence that had been missing since the invasion of the demon soldiers.

The excited people knelt on the ground, and the soldiers in the barracks pointed to the prince and the "general" in awe, and Liu Ding, the master of the talisman, laughed, "I knew that they were still Taoist priests, bring wine, let's celebrate, no, bring paper and pen, today I want to write a few more talismans!"

In the backyard of the City Guard Mansion, Huang Duwei, who was having a headache about how to interrogate his old boss, walked out of the room and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince has also become an immortal." Turning around, he glanced at the castle keeper in the room who still refused to give in, "Damn, you have to come for real." ”

"I'm looking forward to the demon soldier arriving sooner. Yang Qingyin said as soon as he returned to the ground.

At noon that day, when Huang Duwei's torture was still unfinished, Chen Zhiwei handed over all the hidden treasures, and the soldiers immediately invited His Royal Highness the Prince and General Mu to check it.

Both of them have changed into Taoist robes, but in the minds of the soldiers, Mu Xingqiu is still the brave general who rushes to the front with a big sword in his hand.

Liu Ding, the master of the talisman, was also called, he was not interested in the boxes of gold and silver treasures, so he threw himself directly in front of a table, looked at the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and stacks of written paper talismans placed on it, and then walked to the wooden frame next to him, and reached out to stroke the armor one by one.

"This old turtle who can't hold on to death actually hides so many good things, but there is only a pile of rusty iron in the barracks. Liu Ding hated, "The dragon eye helmet and the hundred wash silver armor, this is the talisman armor that the royal family and the dragon bin will have, the demon armor, the barbarian spear, and the unsullied Tianyuan shield...... I've never seen it a few times since I was a talisman master, and there are also copying holy pens and submersible rune paper...... Oh my God, this old turtle is not a talisman master, what do you want these things for?"

Liu Ding has changed from indignation to bewilderment. Picked up the stacks of paper talismans and examined them roughly, and raised his head to be even more puzzled, "There are several three-cut talismans in here, and lo and behold, this is the apparition talisman......"

Xin Youtao interjected: "No wonder Chen Zhiwei knows that we are inhalation disciples. Originally, it was a manifestation talisman, which could only be written by a great talisman master, and was effective for Taoist priests below the starfall. ”

Mu Xingqiu nodded, and Liu Ding immediately said: "This is strange, the old turtle is not a member of the royal family, but also a talisman master of the Bulong Bin Society. How can there be any such things?"

"I want to interrogate Chen Zhiwei personally. Xin Youtao walked towards the door, stopped suddenly, and said to Mu Xingqiu, "You go with me." ”

Chen Zhiwei's nose was blue and his face was swollen, his hands and feet were tied, and Huang Duwei strictly obeyed the prince's previous order and searched the city guard cleanly. He doesn't even have a piece of clothing on him now.

"I've handed it over...... As soon as the door opened, Chen Zhiwei said in a trembling voice, now it is not Huang Duwei but the prince, and hurriedly changed his words, "Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness spares your life, and your officials are loyal to the country." It's just a moment of obsession......"

Xin Youtao walked straight behind Chen Zhiwei and glanced at the Fire God Seal on his back, "Which 'ghost' was lost in his mind?"

Chen Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, closed his legs tightly, and looked up at the two people dressed in Taoist costumes blankly, "That's it...... It is...... Greed and impatience are the two ghosts. ”

"Huh. Xin Youtao picked up a piece of clothing from the table and threw it on Chen Zhiwei's legs, "These two ghosts can't give you the Fire God Seal, let alone give you so many trespassers." ”

What Chen Zhiwei has is far beyond the status of the city guard, but he is obviously not very useful, even if he has the seal of the Fire God on his back. It's still vulnerable. The expression on his face became more and more dull, as if the prince's words were completely beyond his comprehension.

"The world is in chaos. Xin Youtao said in a harmonious voice, using words instead of torture to ask for confessions, "Xijieguo Mansion collapsed, what should the royal family do at this time?"

"How?" Chen Zhiwei repeated blankly.

"A building overturned. Of course, I have to find the next building, but I have been in Pangshan for a few years, and I don't know much about the royal family, so I especially need someone to show me the way, how can there be a reliable mansion for me to live in?"

"His Highness has already rejected Tosukekoku. Chen Zhiwei's voice was normal and even more cunning.

"Because Tosuke didn't talk to me directly. Moreover, it is not a safe edifice, and it itself is crumbling, and after the demon clan occupies the Xijie country, it will soon cross the Jiehe River. ”

"The position of the subordinate official is low, except for Dong Jieguo, it is really ...... I can't climb any other building. ”

Xin Youtao was smiling, and was about to continue to compete with Chen Zhiwei, when Mu Xingqiu suddenly stepped forward, "Huang Duwei seems to be very good at torture. ”

Chen Zhiwei's face changed suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you are ungrateful and commit the following crimes, sooner or later you will ...... one day."

"We are Taoist priests and never torture anyone. ”

Chen Zhiwei's face changed again, "That's ...... Very good. ”

"And the Taoist priest has been a monk for a long time, and he always fights demons, and we have forgotten the bearing capacity of ordinary people, so if I accidentally kill you, please don't be too surprised, and please don't blame me. ”

Xin Youtao felt that he could convince Chen Zhiwei, but Mu Xingqiu's methods seemed to be more time-saving, so he smiled and said, "Don't blame, General Mu can do it boldly with confidence." ”

"Wait. Chen Zhiwei's face had turned purple, and his last line of defense had collapsed, "I can help His Highness contact Huangjing, and they sent me those things." ”

A quarter of an hour later, the two Taoist priests walked out of the room, and Xin Youtao sighed, "As I guessed before, those gifts were too big, they couldn't have been given to him by the vassal states, and they were really the imperial capital." ”

"The twelve vassal states have been ministers for many years, what does the imperial capital do when they buy a city guard?" Mu Xingqiu heard a lot of names and official names from Chen Zhiwei just now, he heard it in a daze, and only understood one thing, the imperial capital kept giving gifts to Chen Zhiwei, but he never made a clear request.

"Huangjing is cultivating traitors, which is similar to the practice of the demon clan, but the means are more concealed, and the time is earlier, Chen Zhiwei's official fortune is prosperous, if it weren't for the invasion of demon soldiers, he would sooner or later become one of the top ministers in Xijie Country...... That's what the emperor wants, it is estimated that all the vassal states have people like Chen Zhiwei. This shows that we can't get support from the imperial capital, and the city of broken flow is a lonely city, a completely isolated city. ”

Mu Xingqiu didn't ask any further, he had enough trouble in his hands. I have no intention of participating in the battle between the emperor and the royal family anymore, not to mention that the Xijie Kingdom is nearing extinction, and there is no point in continuing to fight.

Xin Youtao didn't want to be bothered by these things at this time, shook his head, and asked with a smile: "Why is the effect of your words so obvious?" To be honest. Your words are nice, but they work too quickly. This is the mindfulness spell. ”

Mu Xingqiu smiled and nodded, thought for a while and explained: "At first, I recited the mantra silently, but after trying it a few times, I don't have to recite it now, as long as I evoke the state of mind when I recite the mantra." At the same time, I pinch the mantra in my hand, and then transmit this state of mind from the palace to my fingers like a spell, and then the qiē words I say will have the effect of a spell, but it will be discounted. ”

Mu Xingqiu raised his left hand and pressed his thumb against the knuckle in the middle of his middle finger.

"Fa-rectification. Xin Youtao immediately recognized it, there were a total of one hundred and eight kinds of recipes. The disciples of Yangshen Peak have all learned, "It turns out that this is the method of reading the heart, I said why can't I use it usually." You didn't cast spells on me, did you? I've been getting better and better with you lately. ”

"Haha, how can I have such great ability? Don't say that you are an inhalation disciple, even if you are a disciple who has just opened the Seven Apertures, my spell will not work. ”

"It's also very powerful to be able to control ordinary people, thousands of troops and horses for you to drive. This is the art of the emperor. ”

Mu Xingqiu shook his head solemnly, "I can't control anyone, even if my illusion can be improved one day, the mind illusion can add a little anger to anger, but it is impossible to make people turn from joy to anger, Chen Zhiwei's heart is full of fear, I just let his fear increase a little, and then pour it out." ”

"Oh, I see. Xin Youtao was a little disappointed, "That's more direct than the Five Elements Spell and the Talisman." ”

Mu Xingqiu laughed. In fact, he has more understanding, the human heart is like the ocean, unpredictable and mysterious, and now he has just walked to the sea, and can vaguely see the treasures lying quietly at the bottom of the sea. When he can directly take the treasure and set off the stormy waves, he can compete with the Five Elements Spell.

Fu Master Liu Ding ran out excitedly and said loudly: "It's enough to equip an army of two hundred people, give me three or five days, I can write more runes, and we can fight with the demon soldiers!"

The mood in the whole city was very high, and the appearance of eleven Taoist priests could not stop the refugees from continuing to move to Dongjie Kingdom, but some Xuanfu soldiers who had fled from other cities volunteered to join the defenders of Broken Stream City.

A large number of demon soldiers did not come immediately, every day there were flying demons who came to visit the military situation, hovering in the air from afar, as long as they saw a Taoist priest flying up in the city, they immediately retreated.

On the ninth day of the destruction of the Old Ancestral Peak, all the Pangshan Taoist priests gathered at the inn, which was the fastest time to restore the Ancestral Tower.

The Patriarch Tower is the treasure of Zhenshan, and Yang Qingyin claims that it is still a powerful magic weapon, "As long as the Patriarch Pagoda is repaired and Zuo Liuying's mana is cooperated, even if the demon clan army and the Eight Great Dao Commanders join forces to fight against us, we are not afraid." ”

She said it exaggeratedly, but the disciples all believed in a truth, the forbidden secret seat dared to stay in Broken Flow City, and dared to hand over the task of defending the city to Mu Xingqiu, and there must be a final trick in his hand, that is, the Ancestor Tower.

Zuo Liuying didn't let the disciples wait too long, Lan Qizhang walked out of the room and announced that the Patriarch Pagoda had not been repaired yet, "The damage is bigger than imagined, you have to hold on for a few more days." ”

"How many days?" asked Shen Hao.

"Two months. Lan Qizhang paused, "Up to two months." ”

An end time is better than nothing, the Pangshan Taoist priests cheered each other on, and dispersed, they had guessed the result, they were not particularly disappointed, and they were all ready for battle, and they were looking forward to fighting with the demon soldiers.

Although he knew that Broken River City would not receive support, Xin Youtao officially sent an urgent letter for help to Dongjieguo on the other side of the river, as well as the farther Huangjing two days ago, and he also received a reply that evening, Dongjieguo politely refused to support, claiming that the two countries had already reached an agreement, and they would not step across the Jiehe River, and Huangjing replied by a general closest to Xijieguo, saying that he could not be the master, and that he would have to wait for Huangjing's decision, and it would take at least ten days and half a month before there was news.

In such an isolated and helpless situation, only a very small number of people understood that the stragglers among the refugees were still joining in, and soon reached 300 people, and they were about to take command of Huang Duwei.

On the fourteenth day after the destruction of Old Ancestral Peak, and on the eighth day after the battle of Broken Flow City, the high fighting spirit aroused by the eleven Taoist priests in Broken Flow City was severely damaged.

A group of remnants of the Xuanfu Army ran to Broken Flow City, bringing terrifying news that the soldiers and civilians of the city were terrified, and at least a thousand demon soldiers were approaching Broken Flow City behind them, including several real demons.

This group of remnants of the army was so frightened that they refused to stop even when they heard that there were immortals guarding the city, so they took off their armor in the city, changed into the clothes of the people, and fled across the bridge into Tosuke Province on the same day.

If the Pangshan Taoist priests want to defend the lonely city, they must have a little miracle to help.
