Chapter 58: The Witch's Relic (Part II)
The third day after Ji Chengche returned to Nightfire City was the deadline for Lin Yin to issue a summoning order.
None of the three hundred and sixteen tribes that received the summoning order missed the deadline, and all rushed to meet under the Tiannu Peak.
Within a few days, two pieces of news, one good and one bad, were transmitted back to Nightfire City.
The good news is that the main army of Lin Han Temple successfully captured the Guoyan tribe in Pingding, and plundered nearly 10,000 miles, and is now on the way back, and it is expected to arrive in Night Fire City within a month.
The bad news is that the dragon slayer is furious, and he personally led the 150,000 troops of various tribes to claim to be 300,000, starting from Bailu Yuan and approaching Liucuiyuan, clamoring to step on the night fire city and cut off the heads of Lin Yin's father and son.
Lin Yin sneered when he heard the news, and did not wait for the main army of Lin Han Temple to return to the division, abandoned the old and weak and selected 50,000 iron cavalry, with Xiong Zhan and Bo Hu as the vanguard, with Zhe Chilie and Xueling as the two wings, and Zhe Yuhang as the main general of the Chinese army, and took the initiative to attack south.
Ji Chengche traveled with the army, and twenty-five days later, he encountered the dragon-slaying vanguard at the Green Wolf Ridge.
Lin Yin fought with the Chinese army, and ordered Xiong Zhan and Bo Hu's 4,000 horsemen to detour to the rear of Qingwolf Ridge to block the retreat of his forward corps.
In the battle, Lin Yin sat in the Chinese army, Zhe Yuhang and Ji Chengche joined forces to enter the enemy formation, plundered the head of the main general of the forward corps, and killed five Naluo, thousands of cavalry commanders, and countless less than 100 cavalry commanders.
The dragon slayer army was defeated, 20,000 iron horsemen suffered heavy casualties, and less than 3,000 men and horses were left to desperately break through the interception of Xiong Zhan and Bo Hushi, and fled south.
Lin Yin then placed the main force in the Green Wolf Ridge, and the construction works were recuperated and recharged, waiting for the arrival of the dragon slaying army.
Some of the troops of Zhechilie and Xueling went south, lurking on the road that the dragon slaying army must pass, and constantly carried out guerrilla harassment to frustrate its edge and fatigue its soldiers.
On another five days, the dragon-slaying army arrived at Green Wolf Ridge. Lin Yin did not come out of the wall, relying on the mountain situation to resist the enemy with a bow and crossbow rolling wood and stones.
The dragon slayer attacked for three days, and his subordinates suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the morale was low.
At this time, the main army of Lin Han Temple returned to the north, and drove directly to the Blue Wolf Ridge to join the Lin Yin Department, and the night fire coalition army was greatly invigorated.
After a stalemate between the two sides for more than ten days, the supply was urgent, and the cold winter of the Northern Wilderness Ice Field was approaching, so they could not fight again.
So after several discussions between Slaying Dragon and Lin Han Temple, they finally signed a covenant with the green wolf. The two sides are bounded by the Green Wolf Ridge, and the north belongs to the night fire and the south returns to Longwei, so far the northern barren ice field has opened the era of north and south juxtaposition.
Lin Yin used 50,000 horses to resist the dragon slaughter and 150,000 troops in the south of the Green Wolf Ridge, and was not allowed to cross the thunder pond for half a step, so the Northern Wilderness was known as the "knife of night fire".
After the signing of the agreement, Lin Han Temple and Dragon Slayer each led their troops back, and the Green Wolf Ridge was used as a buffer zone and was not under the control of each other.
Ji Chengche did not return to Nightfire City with the army of Lin Han Temple, but went directly from the Green Wolf Ridge to the Northern Wilderness Palace of the Great Qin Empire.
Before leaving, he asked Lin Hansi to release Wang Rou and return him to freedom. Lin Hansi said that Wang Rou could decide to stay at his own discretion, and gave Ji Chengche "that" 3,000 households to thank him for his honor.
In the early morning of this day, Ji Chengche stood on the ice field and watched the army of Lin Han Temple roll north, and the chariot and horse Xiao Xiao raised the snow and haze, and gradually disappeared behind the distant horizon.
In the huge world, suddenly he was the only one left, and there was Xuanshuang behind him.
Now, he has to finish the last thing in the Northern Wilderness, and then he can return to his homeland after eight years of absence.
But looking at the lonely north, Ji Cheng didn't know why he felt a little lost in his heart.
- Lin Yin, that bastard, actually forgot to agree with him on the date and place of the duel.
At this time, Xuan Shuang poked his head from behind and gently rubbed Ji Qing's shoulder.
Ji Cheng looked sideways and saw that it opened its mouth and spit out its tongue, and a jade cylinder was rolled on it.
Ji Chengqing was stunned, took off the jade cylinder and swirled it gently. The jade cylinder separates from the middle, and inside is a note.
"On the first day of the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Longwu, see you in Tiandu City. β
Seeing the content on this note, Ji Chengqing smiled.
He put away the jade tube and jumped onto Xuanshuang's back, and one man and one dragon flew into the air and flew towards the northeast.
Along the way, Ji Cheng was smooth sailing, and after passing through the secret transmission circle, he came to the Beihai Palace.
Because the Xuanshuang was too big, it could only stay outside the transmission circle, so only Ji Chengche entered the palace alone.
It is still the Dragon Boat Festival that greets him. I haven't seen him for several years, and the appearance of the Dragon Boat Festival has not changed at all, and I respectfully invited Ji Chengche into the palace.
Ji Chengche asked about the emperor's whereabouts, and the Dragon Boat Festival replied: "The emperor is now in the southern barbarians, and I am afraid that His Royal Highness will not be able to see him this time." β
Ji Chengche was quite disappointed, and said in the Dragon Boat Festival: "Your Royal Highness, the old slave will lead you to the Jingyue Pavilion." β
Ji Chengche nodded and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Dragon Boat Festival." β
At this moment, he is also the ancient master of the two great holy realm masters of the Immortal Dao Witch Sect, and his spiritual martial arts and cultivation are unparalleled in the world, so he is not very eager to cultivate the Demon Sect Divine Skill again.
But this is something that grandma explained six or seven years ago, and Ji Chengche felt that it was better to go to Jingyue Pavilion, just to fulfill one of Emperor Xuanyuan's wishes.
The two came to the door of the Jingyue Pavilion and said, "The old slave is staying here." β
Ji Chengche climbed the stairs and pushed the door into the ground floor hall of the Jingyue Pavilion.
"Uh-" The lights under the caisson were lit up in unison, and I saw a thick layer of velvet carpet in the hall, and one hundred and eight ice sculptures roughly equivalent to the size of a real person stood on either side.
Ji's clear gaze was quickly attracted by these ice sculptures, and it was difficult to move away.
Each ice sculpture is a beautiful work of art, with a lifelike face and a vivid expression, and the light and ethereal streamers of the clothes seem to be dancing in the wind, which is really vivid and breathtaking.
Such a miraculous work should be from the hands of the grandmaster.
All the ice sculptures are on two sides, with the Golden Armor Lux on the left and the Neon Dress Maggie on the right.
Ji Chengche took a closer look and was surprised to find that the appearance of each of the nine adjacent Golden Armor Lux Ice Sculptures should be the same person, but the joys, sorrows, and joys were different, and the situation of the Neon Dress Demon Queen on the opposite side was also the same.
Obviously, this was intentional.
Ji Chengche thought about it, walked to the front of the first golden armor wrestler on the left, and saw that the base under its feet was engraved with three lines of small characters in magic script, which were "Heavenly Demon Change", "Pulling Mountain", and "A".
Ji Chengche suddenly realized, it turned out that what was collected in the hall on the first floor of the Jingyue Pavilion was actually the top 12-style "Heavenly Demon Transformation" inherited by the Great Qin Emperor's family for thousands of years.
It's no wonder that with the identity and cultivation of the Dragon Boat Festival, he can only stay outside the Jingyue Pavilion and wait for himself.
You must know that this is an unpassed secret that only the emperors of the demon clan and their heirs to the throne are qualified to participate in the cultivation of enlightenment, even if the other direct princes and princesses born to the emperor themselves are not allowed to peep.
At the beginning, the famous work of the previous demon lord Xuanyuan Kunlun was to hit the powerful Yao Xue Plough of the Wu Clan Sacred Realm at that time with a three-style "Heavenly Demon Transformation" eighty years ago, causing him to die of shame and hatred for the rest of his life. And this Yao Xue plough is also the mentor of the witch saint Tang Yu.
The strength of these twelve types of heavenly demons can also be seen from this.
However, with just these one hundred and eight ice sculptures, can people comprehend the twelve forms of the Heavenly Demon Transformation?
Ji Chengche looked at the golden armor Lux ice sculpture in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
"Uh-h
Ji Chengche was stunned for a moment, and found that there was a faint golden halo flowing on the Jinjia Lux ice sculpture in front of him, which was the effect of the reflection and refraction of the remaining lights under the caisson.
"Snort, sneerβ" The lights were still going out one by one, and the light in the hall was getting darker and darker.
Ji Chengche vaguely understood something, slowly took three steps back, and continued to look at this golden armor wrestler ice sculpture from a slightly distance.
The halo on the surface of the ice sculpture became more and more pronounced, like small golden snakes swimming.
Ji's clear eyes locked on a halo of light, following its flow until it disappeared into the fingertips of the golden armor.
"Poh!" Ji Cheng's clear spiritual sea trembled inexplicably, and a wisp of Gang Qi gushed out, along the route of the golden halo, from the dantian to the chest, over the left shoulder and down to the ring finger.
Ji Chengche was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that he had touched a little doorway, but he didn't expect that this Heavenly Demon Transformation would be so easy to cultivate.
His gaze turned to another golden halo, which also originated from the Spirit Sea and eventually reached the ring finger of his right hand.
The lights above the head were no longer extinguished, and the last seven were retained, reflecting on the one hundred and eight ice sculptures from different angles.
Ji Chengche was unconscious, and concentrated on looking for the trajectory of every halo on the body of the golden armor.
One, two, three......
Time passed unconsciously, and Ji Chengche found eighty-one tracks on the first Golden Armor Lux Ice Sculpture before confirming that there were no new ones.
He first silently recalled the trajectory of the eighty-one rays of light in his mind, and then moved from the sea of spirits
Condensed into eighty-one gangqi, it burst out like a hundred rivers and rushed to all the meridians in the body.
"Boom!" There was a treacherous trance in front of his eyes, and the golden armor Lux ice sculpture seemed to come to life, with a hideous face and open its arms to pounce on him!
Ji Cheng was startled, and the eighty-one qi that had just been emitted suddenly dispersed, and the hallucinations in front of him disappeared immediately.
The Ice Sculpture of the Golden Armor Lux stood motionless, facing him with its arms outstretched.
- No, it's not an illusion.
Ji Chengche recalled the 100,000 witch books, and found no less than 70 relevant records of similar situations in a short time.
In the witchcraft, this situation is called "psychic", which is also the "sympathy" of the fairy way.
Knowing this, Ji Chengche was not panicked and anxious, but became excited.
His interest wasn't really aroused until this moment.
- This kind of Heavenly Demon Transformation Twelve Styles is only a little interesting, if it is just a simple imitation of the Gang Qi Wandering Move, it is simply an insult to his wisdom and a waste of his time.
He took a few more steps back, and stood directly in the center of the hall, silently feeling the invisible luck from all around, calming his state of mind.
After a whole stick of incense, Ji Chengche opened his eyes and cast his gaze on the second Jinjia Lux ice sculpture on the left.
This ice sculpture is shaped immediately after the previous one, with its arms folded inward, as if holding the moon in its arms.
Ji Chengqing stared at the ice sculpture, and continued to look for the halo movement trajectory on the body of Jin Jia Lux, completely forgetful, and did not know how many degrees of sunset red the sun rose and the moon set outside his body.
