Chapter 64: Business as usual
The collapsing mountain sent up a cloud of dust and stones, and the stones that collided with each other were no less powerful than bullets. Running into the distance, everyone finally avoided the shroud range of the flowing mountains and flying stones, and when they looked back, a large mountain peak fell apart in an instant, and there was no trace of it.
Jiang Xiang's hair rope had been loosened, and he looked at the original direction of the altar, stunned and speechless.
Li Greed put Fengyun on the ground and lay down, patted his cheek, and asked in a deep voice: "Fengyun, can you hear me? Wake up!"
Jiang Xiang anxiously pointed to the direction of the mountain peak and shouted, "Go and find the heart of the ancestors!"
"Grandma Witch. Li Yuan screamed, paused, and then said: "Ancestor, I'm afraid ......" He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.
Li Po, who was sitting on the ground, gasped, pounded the ground with hatred, and said angrily: "It's all because of him! The soul of the human ancestor has dissipated! According to me, he is clearly a spy of the Yan Department! Sincerely, he has come to ruin the luck of my Li clan!"
"Po'er!" Jiang Xiang shouted, only to see her eyes closed, take a deep breath, and when she opened it again, her face was as heavy as water. Subconsciously pinched the bone staff, but found that there was nothing at hand, and the bone staff had been buried under the mountain along with the altar.
Reaching out to support the ground and getting up with difficulty, Li Yuan stepped forward to help. Standing firmly, Jiang Xiang looked at the exhausted and scarred Li Po and the others and said solemnly: "The eight of you will leave immediately, and return to the city to guard as soon as possible, in case the news is revealed." ”
On such a major matter, Jiang Xiang's opinion is an order, and Li Greed has no objection, Li Po and the others nodded yes.
Jiang Xiang said again: "Awaken the soul of the ancestors before the autumn festival, the Yanbu and Huangbu will definitely be suspicious, greedy, after you go back, you will send someone to the second department to inquire about the news, in case they take advantage of the ......."
In the middle of speaking, Li Greed suddenly threw himself into a tree behind him and shouted angrily: "Come out!"
A piece of bark on the trunk of the tree moved, a figure shook, and a burst of choking poisonous smoke rose from under his feet. A punch blasted a gap in the big tree where the two were hugging, and the fist wind directly blew away the poisonous smoke, but the person was gone.
The magic power of Li Po and the others was exhausted soon after the sacrifice began, and the magic power consumption of the entire second half of the ancestor recognition and return to the ancestors was almost supported by Li Fu alone. The magic power is too depleted, and the power of his punch is obviously not enough, but he can only watch the enemy escape, but the back is a little strange to look at.
"Take advantage of the weakness to enter the ......" Jiang Xiang's unfinished words spat out, and his eyes became cold. Li Po and the others were about to chase them out, but she raised her hand to stop them. Jiang Xiang looked around and said in a cold voice, "Let's go back to the city first." ”
Carrying the wind and clouds again, everyone formed a formation and quickly rushed to Chiyou City.
The entrance of the tunnel is under a boulder halfway up the back mountain, and after everyone is vigilant to investigate and make sure that there is no one, they work together to push the boulder away and help Jiang Siong enter.
Li Xiaoyue followed silently, looking at the bottom of the boulder, her eyes were a little complicated, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Come in!" Li Xiao was startled, turned around and whispered two words in Hei Baihua's ear, and after watching it run away, he carried Xiao Ying into the tunnel.
"What person?" Li Rou, who was guarding the tunnel, walked out of the darkness, saw the tragic situation of Li Gang and the others, and hurriedly greeted him, and helped Jiang Xiang back to the round house.
Li Xiaoyue and Li Rou stood together, looking down at their toes, and said nothing. Li Rong and the others sat in a circle, looking at the wind and clouds lying in the center, and were silent.
This time he spent a lot of effort just to help him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but Fengyun not only did not recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but even withered the hearts of his ancestors. Li Ben and the others didn't get anything except for a scar, which can be described as a heavy loss.
"Da Da!" Xiao Ying staggered to the top of Fengyun, sat down, sat cross-legged on Fengyun's chest with two little fat legs, and stretched out her fat fingers to pick at his mouth.
Li Po stared at the wind and clouds, furious, all because of this guy, such a disaster star, why didn't he kill him!
"Ahh
Sensing Li Po's eyes, Xiao Ying spat at him, stretched out her finger and pointed at him and screamed, very arrogant.
Jiang Xiang looked at the wind and clouds and asked, "Greedy, can you see clearly, who is eavesdropping just now?"
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "I can't see it clearly, but I can be sure that it is a human race." ”
Jiang Xiang nodded and said, "Since it's a human race, it's easy to do." Po'er, you go back and bring the town defenders back directly! Gather a large army and prepare to fight west!"
"Xi Xi?" Li was a little surprised, and asked, "Isn't it a little hasty?" Why don't I send a spy to investigate the reality of the two parts first, and then make a plan?"
Shaking his head, Jiang Xiang said: "It's too late, once the news of the withering heart of the human ancestor comes out, the Yan Department will definitely go eastward." Jiang Yugang prepares food for the Eastern Expedition all year round, and the speed of gathering an army will be several times faster than that of my Li people, if you don't gather troops early, I'm afraid that the Li people will really die. ”
The magic power recovered little by little, Li Greed's injuries healed quickly, the blisters on his palms had dried up, and he rubbed off a layer of dead skin, and he said, "Why don't you wait for Fengyun to wake up and ask him what he said?"
Jiang Xiang looked at Fengyun who was lying unconscious on the ground, his fists in his sleeves were clenched, and he shook his head and said: "We can't put all our hopes on him, the heart of the ancestor is an example." He said last night that he doesn't believe in luck, he believes that people will win the day, perhaps, this is the way of life of my Li people. No matter what kind of crisis, if you fight it, there may be a chance to survive. Moreover, even if there is no life, my Li clan will never sit idly by!"
Li Greed's brows furrowed, still undecided, and after a while, he said: "However, we are still not sure whether the crisis comes from the same race, and we have rashly started a war, and I am afraid that it is the reality of the crisis. ”
Jiang Xiang nodded and said: "I'm also afraid, the hexagram of crisis has been a long-term thing, but it has never appeared, what I'm afraid of is that if you wait any longer, you and I will become frightened birds, and we will be worn out by the name of crisis." Waiting for disaster to come is not the solution, no matter where the disaster comes from, go to the battlefield first and then make a clear decision. Even if the crisis comes from somewhere else, we can't let Jiang Yu ignore it, if he falls into the well, then won't we suffer from the enemy on our backs? Now that I have learned through it, in fact, the Western Struggle is not a bad thing for us, if the crisis really comes from the war, then do we need to be afraid?"
Li Po on the side asked suspiciously: "Grandma Wu, patriarch, why can't I understand what you are saying? What crisis? What disaster?"
Li Yan looked at Jiang Xiang, who nodded, and then he said to Li Po and the others: "After Uncle Li Qiong's death, Da Wu once made a divination for the Li clan in order to elect a successor patriarch. The hexagram shows that my Li clan will be wiped out, and the new patriarch will die at the hands of a person surnamed Feng, but that person surnamed Feng will save the entire Li tribe, which is the crisis I told Grandma Da Wu just now. ”
"What?!" Li Po jumped up, pointed at Fengyun and said, "You mean, you will be killed by this guy?"
Li Yu nodded and said, "If there is no accident, it will be so." ”
Li Po suddenly blushed and asked, "Then you still ...... Hey, I think I've always hated you for the patriarch's business, damn it!"
Li Yan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. ”
Li Po was ashamed and angry, raised his hand and was about to pinch Fengyun's throat, and shouted angrily: "I'll kill him first, see what he does...... Whew~!"
His claws touched Fengyun's elbow, and he was already sleeping like a dead pig, Xiaoying kicked his hand with his foot in disgust, preventing him from touching Fengyun's arm.
Li Feng looked at Li Po helplessly, and Li Wen on the right urged the magic power to heal the wound, and said with a smile: "It's better for him to be quiet, you said that the hexagram shows that the new patriarch will die at the hands of someone surnamed Feng, how can you be sure that it is him?"
Jiang Xiang opened his mouth and said: "I have divined countless times, trying to find out what the crisis is, but last summer, I suddenly divined a hexagram, and the hexagram showed that the person who could save the Li tribe was in the southeast, and the first time I encountered it. Greedy insisted on looking for him, and this son was the first person surnamed Feng that Greedy Er met. ”
The evidence was conclusive, and the eyes of everyone looking at Fengyun were a little wrong, Li Wen frowned and asked: "But I see that he didn't mean to kill you? Could it be a manslaughter? Then since the new patriarch died, if you give up the position of the patriarch before he makes a move......
"To whom?" asked Li Ran, looking at him.
Li Wen was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "If there is that seriously ill clansman, or an old ......" Obviously, he himself felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but make his voice smaller and smaller.
"Are you asking me to kill the elderly?" Li Yuan stared at him and asked coldly: "Do you still remember Uncle Li Qiong's words? The Li people are a piece of meat, broken bones and tendons, except for themselves who are old, no one wants to take out a piece!"
Levinne stopped talking.
Li Feng looked around, and said in a solemn voice: "If I can exchange my life for the Li people to reproduce safely, I will not hesitate to do it! You are not allowed to mention today's matter to any clansmen, it will rot to the stomach! Li Wen, you look at Li Po, he is impatient, don't let him help." ”
"I know. Levin nodded.
Li Yan looked at the wind and clouds, his thoughts were complicated, and after a while, he raised his head again, and he was already clear. He opened his mouth and said: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, today we will treat him as if he has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and the witch can not be faked, and you must remember not to mention anything else, and everything should be decided by me and the Great Witch." You set out immediately, and when you return to the city, find a way to bring back all the old chiefs, so that they don't hurt their lives, just so that they don't rebel. Then I will lead the army back to the city! After the autumn harvest, I will personally lead the army west to fight Jiang Yugang!"
"Command!" Li Wen and the others were about to set off, but when they looked at Li Po who was lying on the ground and snoring, they couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to do.
Li Greed sighed and said, "Leave him behind, you will return immediately, and I will figure out a way over there." ”
Li Wen and the others nodded and left along the tunnel.
"Grandma Witch. Li Xiaoyue said timidly: "Then will I go back first?"
Jiang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Xiaoyue was still there, this poor child, but she was also involved. But with the war, she also has to go out with the army, so it's good to know about it. Jiang Xiang nodded and said to Li Rou: "You send Xiaoyue back first!"
Li Rou answered, and when he walked to the tunnel first, Li Xiaoyue looked back worriedly, and then lowered his head and walked out with Li Rou.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Jiang Xiang, Li Greed, Fengyun, and Xiao Ying who was sitting on him and holding his toes were left in the round house.
Except for the burning of torches, there was silence in the round house, and Li Yen suddenly heard a few faint sounds.
Following the voice to Fengyun's side, Li Ben leaned down, but heard a few untraceable words in Fengyun's mouth: "Again...... Divine...... Hexagram ......"
Li Greed turned around and said, "He said another divination." ”
Divination was not difficult for Jiang Xiang, she reached out and tore a strand of hair, reciting witch language, she put her hair on the flame of the torch. After a burst of burnt smell of hair, Jiang Xiang looked at the small balls of burnt and curly hair at the ends, sighed and said, "The hexagram has not changed. ”
After thinking about it, she stood up and said, "I'll go back to the tent and try it again with a tortoise shell." ”
Li Yu nodded, pointed to the wind and clouds on the ground and asked, "What about him?"
Looking back, Jiang Xiang said after a while: "It's as usual!"
