349.Chapter 349
A blazing red line drew an ominous trajectory through the black pine forest.
But in the eyes of Zuo Laoweng, it was a ball of fire like a big fight.
Before he could react further, the whole person was engulfed in flames!
The flames burned and the heat overflowed, leaving only human-shaped fires in the glade. No matter who else is changed, there is only one way to fall into such a situation.
The monster with the magic of the demon still tied to its mouth crouched tremblingly in the snowdrift, and its big eyes turned while carefully looking at all this in front of it.
As the cacophony of beasts approaching through the snow, more than a dozen animals born like jackals and wolves barked and bowed their backs vigilantly at the humanoid upright fire.
If you look closely, these monsters, which look like jackals and wolves, are charred as charcoal, but their torsos are completely hollow like lanterns torn off the paper. It is not quite correct to say that it is hollow, because between the chest and abdomen of these demon beasts, there are blazing red flames. Not only that, but even their bare tails and skulls, which looked like only charred bones, were filled with pulsating flames.
Just as they cautiously approached the humanoid firepile in front of them a few steps, the flames burning on the humanoid firepile shook suddenly, and then they suddenly retreated down the figure of the old man Zuo!
The tongue of fire retreated again and again, revealing the old man's thin and unremarkable face, and there was no trace of burns, and even the blue and white robe on his body was not damaged at all. And around the old man, there was a faint flow of clear air, and the flame was forced by this clear air, falling straight to the ground, spreading into a ring of fire!
Zuo Laoweng still has one hand across his chest, but between his middle finger and index finger, he has picked up a white bamboo piece, and the bamboo piece is full of cinnabar to depict the panqu order, faintly revealing spiritual light.
With the bamboo talisman in his hand, Zuo Lao Weng raised his eyebrows, but his tone was full of made up his mind: "The demon star committed the three walls, and the demons in the world were born, but in the end, they rose from Liangzhou and the rebels in Wuwei County?"
Before he could finish speaking, the group of wolf-like and jackal-like monsters had already jumped backwards in fright.
Mortal demons are the most difficult to open their spiritual intelligence, but their innate five senses are far more sensitive than mortals. Zuo Laoweng's body is like a spiritual machine, full of pure energy, although it is not yet immortal, in their eyes, it is an existence that is difficult to match.
In the black pine forest, a roar with anger sounded at this moment!
In the midst of the roar, these demon beasts, which looked like jackals and wild wolves, let out a low cry of fear, and then raised their heads, stood on their hind limbs like people, and pounced violently forward.
Even if the demon beast is good at jumping, this pounce can't move much distance forward. However, with their uniform movements, the beast skull, which seemed to have only a charred skull left, actually broke away from the torso and came straight to the old man!
The beast's head ignited the fire, and it turned into a ball of fire, and it smashed towards the old man Zuo. The flaming beast's head brought a hot whirlwind that rolled up the snow in the air, and then evaporated, leaving only a ravine half an elbow deep in the snow.
The line of fire that came from the surprise attack just now lies in this!
In the face of such a situation, Zuo Laoweng's expression was not chaotic at all, and he suddenly rose from the ground more than two feet high. As he rose into the air, the flaming beast's head fell into the air. Poor ancient pine in the mountains has just been robbed, and in the sound of explosion, sawdust flies, and it is on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, he looked at those headless demon beasts, but they straightened up and gave birth to a burning head on their necks.
Zuo Laoweng pointed to the bamboo talisman, but nodded: "I see, your generation was born purely with anger in the fire, but it is not a living creature raised by nature, but it seems to be a repelling spirit refined by people with evil methods." The person who casts the spell can also be called a genius who is rare to see in a hundred years in the field of magic, but why not follow the right path?"
As he was sighing, this group of demon beasts with flames all over their bodies howled angrily, and shook their heads forward, and more than ten fireballs rushed straight in!
Zuo Laoweng's body turned, and the bamboo talisman in his hand was flicked by his thumb, but it seemed that several layers of bamboo skin were instantly uncovered on the surface of the bamboo talisman. The bamboo talisman in the palm unfolded like a fan, and with a wave of his hand, the bamboo talisman in the palm turned into a white light, scattered into a sky of light arrows, and came out of his hands!
Where the Dao Dao Bamboo Talisman fell, it was the neck cavity of those headless demon beasts. The bamboo talisman touched the exoskeleton of the demon beast, and then took root, and the bamboo root climbed at the place where the neck cavity of the demon beast was sealed.
There was a charm on the neck, and those demon beasts originally wanted to regenerate a new head from the flames burning in the abdominal cavity, but they couldn't break through the bamboo talisman seal at all!
This hand scattering talisman sealing demon technique made the lifting weight light, and there was no smoke and fire at all, and even a sincere praise came from the black pine forest: "What a very beautiful evil method!"
Zuo Lao Weng didn't wait for the figure behind the curtain to make any more moves, his hands were closed, the sword in his right hand was pointed at the sky, and his right foot slammed down: "One should be six days against the right demon and ghost, broken!"
As he said "broken", the spiritual text on the bamboo talisman responded to the sound and brilliance, and the more than ten demon beasts howled miserably at the same time, bursting into a ball of sparks, scattered with the wind!
And on the ground, there are countless fragmented blood crystals left, with a hidden evil atmosphere!
Zuo Lao Weng was not at all disturbed by such a scene, he moved his hand forward and shouted: "All the demons are tied, the ferocity dissipates, and all the demons should disperse." ”
As soon as he beckoned, the bamboo talismans scattered on the ground rose in response, turning into a wind, straight into the black pine forest!
The wind entered the forest, blocking the way, and the ancient pine suddenly fell to the ground, revealing the true body of the person who drove the monsters in the shadow of the pine forest.
Standing in front of Zuo Laoweng was a blue-faced giant monster with a height of two feet, all of which were blue-gray. However, if you look closely, the giant monster is surrounded by extremely thick stitch prints, and it is actually a giant zombie made up of the remains of countless dead.
The blue-gray color of the zombie's body is not the color of the normal corpse after decay, but the color that is revealed after applying the antiseptic effect of Wai Dan drugs such as Zeng Qing and arsenic.
Zuo Laoweng stared at the person sitting on the shoulder of this giant zombie, and said in a deep voice: "If you poison creatures like this, create monsters, and violate the taboo of heaven and earth, you will not be exempt from heaven's punishment." It's not easy to get to where you are now, so why bother?"
The man sitting on the zombie's shoulder, with long brown and slightly curly hair, was pale, but his cheeks were unhealthy bright red, and he looked like a patient with advanced tuberculosis. This man was wearing a colorful bodysuit, with a folded collar on the collar, and a long sword full of Hu Feng hanging from his waist, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a native of Liangzhou.
And this nonsense man also said nonsense of unknown meaning: "This depraved and ignorant world, why do you let me be in charge of the follow-up work? Although it is true that I believe in the same supreme being as those people, they believe in the truth that has been tampered with by some guy who claims to be a prophet. No, no, no, once the truth has been tampered with, it cannot be called the truth, and the only thing that can be appreciated is that they still have a devout belief in the one and only Lord. As for you—"
He set his eyes on Zuo Laoweng: "I have turned my back on the only way of salvation, given up the reward of the only father, and have not heard the old thing that can save mankind." Life is in the gospel and nowhere else. You idolaters, sinners trying to use the limited wisdom of mankind to understand the one truth, are the most ridiculous and pathetic people I have ever met. Listen, the only eternal life lies only in the kingdom of the Father, and not in what you wish to gain through witchcraft and communication with the devil, and may you repent soon in the Inquisition, poor old fellow!"
Saying these strange words that made people wonder why, the Hu man stood up on the body of the giant corpse and drew the long sword at his waist: "In the name of the successor of the Lord of the Disciples, the servant of the many servants of the One Lord, and the representative of the Messiah of the Savior, I, Baron Ibelin, will give the final judgment to all those who worship demons!"
Listening to the nonsense of that Hu man, Zuo Laoweng shook his head: "Whenever troubled times are about to arise, there are always crazy people with delusional attacks who will become the harbingers of the change of the world. Whether they want to or not, troubled times use their crimes as the rope to kick off the curtain. Then Xiaosheng Zuo Yuanfang also has to make a little contribution in this world......"
Before the words fell, Mr. Zuo Yuanfang, who had been old for more than a month after being separated from someone, took a step forward suddenly, and the bamboo talisman in his hand had turned into a golden light and slashed forward!
......
.........
The cold light flashed, bringing countless blood flowers, and making the black land more ****.
The executioner, wielding the broadsword, shouted listlessly: "Next!"
Immediately, two Qiang soldiers with their heads wrapped in white cloth escorted a man with a big tie into the school field as a place of execution.
On the beheading platform, two men wearing official uniforms and indecently wrapped in white cloth on their heads were facing the school as prison beheaders. Between the two of them, from time to time there is a few small talks:
"What sin do these Han people want to cut off their heads today?"
"One is hiding wine at home, and the other is a local butcher who is good at killing dogs and pigs. As a result, they were denounced by the parishioners below, who should die if they don't die?"
"It's also a fool who doesn't know how to read the style, even if Wuwei County is returned to our Qiang people, as long as they are willing to honestly sacrifice their family wealth and serve as slaves and maids, a life can still be saved. Otherwise, just like the local clans who defend themselves according to the walled fort, with more military rations, military horses and people, they can always save their lives. ”
"Even if you can't think about it for a while, you have to at least pretend to be something. Naturally, the books of the Han people are not allowed to be collected, and as for the ancestral tablets, of course, they cannot be left. The above can be strict about these things, once the traces of the Han people worshipping their ancestors are found, one family is guilty, and ten families are connected, and they will never be allowed to intercede. ”
The two petty officials shook their heads as they spoke, spread out the prisoner book in front of them and put it on a new one, and then took an arrow from the case and threw it down: "The case of the Suo family in the east of the city is still on the run, and they are still on the run, and they are captured today and beheaded together!"
Between the words, these two petty officials whose ancestors were from the Qiang Department shook their heads, and they were relatively speechless: "If you continue to kill in such a beating, I am afraid that there will be no Han people in Wuwei for a long time, and when the time comes, who will plough the fields and who will pay the rent? No matter what else, how many knives have been cut down on this execution ground? But more than half of the remaining blacksmiths have been executed, how can there be enough craftsmen to use them at that time?"
Listening to the complaints of his colleagues, the younger Qiang official couldn't help but laugh and said: "If we keep these craftsmen, then we don't have this kind of feeling, but I have a way to make the loss of this weapon less or less." ”
Hearing him say this, the old Qiang official couldn't help urging: "Colleagues, what is your way, why don't you come and hear it? If I can subtract a few points from my deficit here, I will thank you for your kindness." ”
Urged by his colleagues, this Qiang official stopped hiding his selfishness, and pointed his hand to the west barracks: "In the future, whenever there is a need to execute prisoners, wouldn't it be good to pull the prisoners together to the Xuanfeng battalion to serve as military rations?"
Hearing him say this, the older Qiang official couldn't help but shudder violently, glanced around, and then shrank his head: "Don't talk like that! What is the location of the Xuanfeng camp? Yincao, hell, and the ghost gate are just like that! Last time, I went to the head of the door to greet the general above for a while, but I didn't scare half of my life!"
Saying that, he shook his head and sighed: "I am here to supervise the beheading, although it is also a one-knife and two-life business, but the body is one, and it can be regarded as leaving a whole corpse for these Han people, but if it is sent to the Xuanfeng camp...... It's just that, what a grudge is this?"
Hearing him say this, the Qiang official who proposed only smiled indifferently: "Our Qiang people have the help of the gods in this incident, Ahura Mazda has sent down a decree and manifested a miracle, what are you afraid of those Han people doing? Brother dare not say anything else, there is the protection of the gods, this Liangzhou territory, from now on there will be no surname Liu!"
Hearing what he said, the older Qiang official just closed his eyes and said nothing, shaking his hand again and again: "If you kill someone, it's nothing, but it's a bunch of evil ghosts who eat human flesh! Evil ghosts are such things, at this moment, the generals above have divine power to protect them, and they can control them, but what if they can't control them? Don't persuade me again, I don't want to get close to the Fengfeng camp in the future." ”
These lower-level officials in the Qiang army had a look of fear on their faces, and when they mentioned the newly raised Xuanfeng Camp in Guzang City, the faces of the people walking in the Xuanfeng Camp looked even worse.
Su Che, a female warrior dressed in red armor and red robes, carried Changge, and her junior, the necromancer Gruggs, watched vigilantly at the wandering monsters around them.
"Xiao Gu, I remember that manipulating the undead is a specialty of your Lasma Order necromancer, right?"
"Senior sister, the premise is that these guys can really be regarded as pure undead. Gruggs' face turned paler than before, holding his Sea Blue Nightmare Staff in both hands, and replied with his head down, "These Qiang troops are directly transformed into half-zombie creatures by divine power, although they look very similar to zombies and ghouls, but they can only be regarded as half-undead creatures, and they also have the characteristics of living creatures, whether it is the necromantic magic of the Lasma Order manipulating the dead or the sacred magic of the Sakaram Order to repel the undead, the effect on them is not very high......"
"Sure enough, you can't expect too much from you fools! Forget it, we're just here to finish the work, and let the Taoist priest who loves to play with fire handle the rest by himself. Su Che muttered a word, clenched Changge in his hand, and walked into the big tent of the Chinese army in the Xuanfeng battalion.
The bed in the middle of the tent was covered with animal skins, and a general who looked like an ordinary human was perched on it, with layers of white cloth wrapped around his head. However, even a blind man could see that the part of the general's skull was unusually swollen even when covered by a white cloth, making him look more like some kind of mutated monster.
This general is now the supreme commander of the mighty Qiang army, the patriarch of Xian Lingqiang, what the original Qiang name was is unknown, only that his current religious name is Ibrahim.
Su Che greeted Ibrahim, the commander of the Qiang army, who seemed to have been half-zombied, and before she could speak, Ibrahim said: "Praise the Lord of the High Wind and the Eagle! He has given us the supreme glory of freeing us from the status of mortals! But wait a little longer, until our new angel returns. ”
A new oracle?
Su Che and Gruggs glanced at each other, they had dealt with Bahram or Helan Gong, a mountain god who had too many part-time jobs, and knew that all the power around him was now focused on a certain thing, how could there be any divine envoys to send?
"Baron Ibelin, from the High Heavenly Kingdom, has been commissioned by my lord, the Lord of the Wind and the Eagle, to erect here the sacred altar that connects Ahura Mazda. You can go there and wait for the Baron's majesty. ”
Hearing this, the two of them were even more suspicious, but being in such a place where there were piles of zombies, Su Che was not ready to make a fuss, nodded with a smile, and followed the zombie general towards the so-called altar.
The so-called altar was only a three-level platform of rammed earth, but the things on it were extraordinarily exquisite: silver candlesticks and square boxes inlaid with precious stones, goblets with gold rims, and-
A tall contour cross.
There is no traditional crucifix on the cross, but a skeleton wearing a wreath of thorns, looking mockingly at the people standing under the altar.
At the moment when Su Che stood still, a flash of fire burst out of the skeleton's eyes, and immediately, the entire cross fell downward!
