Chapter 228: The Oath of Loose Cultivation
A man and a dragon looked at each other for a long time after dozens of miles above the sea of clouds, and the iron-spine dragon opened his mouth and said a strange word, "I am not an enemy of you, but I am just carrying out the curse of the demon baby, the first day of demon fire, the second day of dragon rain, and there are five days to follow." ”
Jiaolong's voice was as low as thunder, and after that, he turned around and flew to the northwest of the unclean qi, and it didn't take long for the news to break out.
Mu Xingqiu didn't chase after him, because the location of the Iron Spine Jiaolong was out of the range of thirty miles from the Ancestor Tower. The dragon dispersed the fog, and not long after Mu Xingqiu returned to the ground, the sunlight finally returned to Broken Flow City, rushing to expel some of the cold before it got dark.
"The demon clan is using the so-called curse to play tricks. After Shen Hao heard about Jiaolong, he felt even more confident in his heart, "If that demon-descended blood baby was really that important, Qi Wusupreme wouldn't just send him to command an army of more than a thousand people, and he wouldn't even have a decent big demon by his side." If you want me to say, Qi Wushang deliberately sent the blood baby to die, and then took this opportunity to coerce and lure the various tribes of the demon clan to participate in the war. ”
Shen Hao's guess has some truth, especially in line with the words of the Iron Spine Jiaolong, which obviously means that he is not a member of the demon soldiers, but to carry out the ancient curse rules, he has to come over to rain cold.
"The demon clan believes in such a thing as demon curses more than we do. Xiao Qingtao also agreed with Shen Hao's statement, "Qi Wushang's move is really insidious, he wants to pull those oldest tribes into his camp." ”
Mu Xingqiu couldn't think of a more reasonable statement, so he nodded, "Jiaolong gave us a reminder, the seven-day curse is not something that Yinyu Fadong said casually, there must be a basis, and we can take precautions in advance if we find out." ”
This was a simple question in Old Ancestor Peak, but in Broken Flow City, the Taoist priests had no way to ask.
"What kind of trick is Zuo Liuying playing? Surely he already knew about these things, but he wouldn't even give an explanation?" Shen Hao was deeply annoyed, and the other Taoist priests all nodded, feeling that the Forbidden Secret Sect had gone too far.
"Don't think about Zuo Liuying, no one can force him to take the initiative to speak. Xiao Qingtao, you go to the inn to guard, Fangfang may be able to know some things, and the others go out of the city as usual to inspect the movements of the demon soldiers, and I will ask among the monks. ”
"It's just a group of loose cultivators, what can they know?" Shen Hao's impression of this support soldier became worse and worse.
"The monk has a wide range of hobbies, and there may be someone who has done research on demon curses. ”
"Yes, I've never seen a real unicorn, and I can specialize in studying for decades. Shen Hao said sarcastically. "Get rid of them all. ”
"The monk's spells are still somewhat useful. Mu Xingqiu didn't want to give up any bit of assistance, no matter what, the strength of a hundred monks was far greater than that of seven hundred Xuanfu troops.
Several Taoist priests flew out of the barracks, and Mu Xingqiu went to see Sanxiu.
The ground in the barracks has not yet dried up, the soldiers are sorting out their weapons and doing some simple training, Pan Sanye has only been away for a few days, and there are already signs of slackness in the army, and the team in charge of more than 700 people is obviously out of the ability of Huang Duwei. He had a heated fight with the soldiers, but the orders were often inconsistent, and no one took them seriously.
Dozens of monks lit a bonfire on the edge of the camp and formed a circle to ward off the cold. Their spells are more low-level, and they still need firewood, but the flames are more vigorous, and there is no choking smoke.
The Linzi Daoren, who is all white, is also among them. He lost two unicorns one after another, although it was just a paper talisman, but it condensed a lot of his efforts. Therefore, he looked very lost, and when he saw Mu Xingqiu, he greeted him, and his usual smile disappeared on his face.
"Seeker, can you say something?"
"Of course. ”
The two of them were not too far away from the bonfire, and Linzi Daoist had no intention of finding a hidden place, so he just lowered his voice slightly, "Hong Futian is gone?"
"Well, go see the demon king Qi Wusupreme and persuade him to withdraw from the army. ”
"Hey, this kid is smart enough to find such a fair reason to run away. ”
"You don't believe him?"
"Of course I believe it, otherwise how would he come to Broken Flow City? But he ran too fast, and the apprentice didn't want it, and he didn't tell us, what is going on? To be honest, we all came to Broken Flow City for his face, and when he left, everyone's minds were all in chaos. ”
Mu Xingqiu's heart was bright, the monks were scared, they had stayed in Broken Flow City for less than two days, they were about to retreat, and now they just wanted to find a "fair and honest reason" like Hong Futian.
"I believe that Hong Fu is really going to see the Demon King. ”
Linzi Daoren laughed twice, "Then he is a complete madman, and he has to be killed halfway, alas, we were actually attacked by a madman." ”
His voice was a little louder when he said these words, and Hong Futian's apprentice Ouyang Lance walked out of the bonfire, his face flushed, neither roasted by fire nor frozen, "My master is not crazy, he cares about the well-being of the people in the world, and it is a fearless move to meet Qi Wusupreme!"
"Da Dauntless? He didn't try to persuade the Kraken when he was in Qishan, he yelled to see the Dao Tong Sect Master every day, and he didn't see him put it into practice, why did he just arrive in Broken Flow City? Lin Zi Dao people no longer hide the indignation in their hearts.
"Maybe he's going to ask for merit from Qi Wusupreme. Another monk interjected, imitating Hong Futian's voice, "Your Majesty the Demon King, I will bring you more than a hundred human monks, go and kill them all." ”
Ouyang Li's face turned even redder, and as soon as he flipped his hands, each holding a fire dragon five or six feet long, he was about to make a move, but the monk did not show weakness, showing his magic sword, and pinching the Dao Fire Technique with his other hand.
The other monks followed suit, and the soldiers in the distance were also attracted to them.
"Enough!" Mu Xingqiu shouted.
He was just a young breath-inhaling Taoist, but last night's strong strength made the monks jealous, the sword-wielding monk withdrew the magic weapon first, and Ouyang Lance also put away the fire dragon, his eyes were still full of anger.
Mu Xingqiu originally wanted to talk to the monks in private, but since he had already attracted the attention of the soldiers, he simply walked to the bonfire, faced everyone, and said loudly: "A battle of life and death is about to take place in Broken Flow City, monks with the heart of death, please stay and fight side by side with us, those who feel that this battle is not worth fighting hard, please leave or not, the recruits are afraid of going to the real battlefield, I can understand." ”
No one left, and Daoist Pangshan's words were not very polite, but the monks all felt that he was qualified to say such things, and some other monks also came out of the barracks.
"Is there a bounty for killing demons?" a monk asked, looking left and right, and now many people around him felt the same way, and continued: "Hong Futian said that the battle of Broken Flow City was presided over by the Dao Tong of Pang Mountain, and the bounty for killing demons would only be higher than that of Qishan. ”
"My master didn't say it......" Ouyang Qi retorted in surprise, his voice quickly drowned out by a wave of approval.
"The bounty is a thank you from the Pangshan Daotong and the soldiers and civilians of Broken Stream City. ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a lot of disappointed boos, Mu Xingqiu was unmoved, and paused for a while before saying: "There is also the royal family of Xijie, they are willing to pay any price for defending Broken Flow City. ”
"Xijie Kingdom has even lost the capital, the royal family has long been missing, only a prince of unknown origin remains, and he has fled to Dongjie Kingdom, I don't know if I can come back, what is the difference between us and saving a dead man?"
"If there is no danger, how can you do miraculous feats? Saving Xijie Country is your chance to establish miraculous feats. I promise, the prince will definitely return. "Mu Xingqiu is a Taoist priest of Pang Shan, but the situation of the sect master is unknown, and he cannot give a specific commitment on behalf of Pang Shan.
The monks were a little moved, and whispered, Mu Xingqiu could feel two diametrically opposed feelings, his expectations were not high, as long as half of them were willing to stay, it would be a great help.
Ouyang Li disrupted Mu Xingqiu's plan and prediction, he was the same as Master Hong Futian, he was so simple that he was a little stubborn, he was extremely dissatisfied with the snobbery of the monks, and his anger finally exploded, shouting: "Have you forgotten that you are a monk? Have you forgotten your oath of chivalry and righteousness?
"The people can cross the river and take refuge in Tosuke Province. A loud voice said, "What's more, just our people can't defeat the demon army at all."
"The people crossed the river, and the demon soldiers also crossed the river, either the city of broken flow or other cities, there was always a time when there was no way back. The more Ouyang Qi spoke, the more agitated he became, "Handing over Broken Flow City will only make the demon soldiers more imposing, and when the next battle comes, we will have no chance of winning." ”
Ouyang Li looked around, his face was as red as a ripe apple, but the enthusiasm in his eyes was somewhat similar to Hong Futian's, "Stay! Not for reward, not for gratitude, just to fight with the demon soldiers, just to fulfill the oath we all made at the beginning - not to seek immortality, but only for all sentient beings." ”
The monks present had obviously made such an oath, and all of them were ashamed, and a stout monk suddenly spoke, "Damn, they all say that they will die without regrets, and Lao Tzu will die in Broken Flow City." ”
"Don't seek immortality, only for all sentient beings. The monks shouted one after another, but none of them left.
Mu Xingqiu was surprised, Ouyang Li's words were actually more powerful than his illusion, and then his heart also warmed up, on the one hand, because he left a support soldier, on the other hand, he finally realized: Nian Xin Illusion is a real power, stored in everyone, Nian Xin Ke, as one of the eighteen branches of the Daomen, is definitely not a side door, it opens the human heart.
After the enthusiasm, there will still be people who become timid, or even secretly run away, but Mu Xingqiu believes that the remaining monks will still be the majority.
"The war has begun. Mu Xingqiu struck while the iron was hot, "The demon soldiers will use different demon techniques for seven consecutive days to achieve the so-called blood baby curse, yesterday was demon fire, today is dragon rain, does anyone know what tomorrow will be?"
A very unconfident voice in the crowd said, "After the dragon rain, it should be an evil wind." ”
"What is an evil wind? a gust of wind?"
"The demon fire brings panic, the dragon rain rains down on weakness, and the evil wind seems to blow suspicion. ”
Mu Xingqiu understood that the enemy he was about to face was not a certain demon, but the people of the whole city.
