Chapter 33: Blood Soul Illusion
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and at the foot of Luoxia Mountain, Xingchen stood in front of the three teenagers, "Congratulations, you have become a teacher, and I don't have to toss anymore." ”
The three teenagers looked at each other, knelt down together, and bowed three times, but did not get up.
The scholar at the head of the scholar took out a personal mercenary badge, "Teaching, we have registered as a mercenary, and if you want to join the Holy Wind Mercenary Group, please do it." The three of them bowed again together.
Xingchen shook his head, "The Su family in the south of the city, the Liu family in the west of the city, and the Ouyang family in the north of the city are among the four major families, all of which have their own mercenary groups. Don't tease me, go back and wash and sleep!"
Senior Senior looked at the scholar and the student, "Xiaoshu, what should we do?"
The scholar was angry and glanced at Luo Xia Mountain, "I heard that the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment has an apprenticeship class, let's go there." He looked at the two people beside him again, "Yuan Xing, Cheng Hou, what do you think?"
The senior senior student hugged the two of them, "Of course we go together, we will be brothers for life." The thin student nodded as well.
On Luoxia Mountain, Xingchen looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed: "Tomorrow is the seventh day of July, the day of departure." I'll probably have to be away for more than ten days. ”
Blood Dance walked over, "Ten days? No, I have to go with you." ”
Xingchen turned around, looked at Blood Dance, and nodded.
In the early morning of the next day, when the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment was stationed, Xingchen looked at several high-ranking people in the group and began to give orders.
"Yi Lei, leading the three most elite brigades of the Armed Forces Department, a total of ninety people, set off with me at noon, aiming at Fuguang Town. ”
"He Kang, leading a team of twenty rangers, a total of one hundred people. This is the route map of our escort, removing all obstacles on this route. "A map appeared in the hands of He Kang, the head of the Ranger Department.
"Su Ziyan, we will leave our intelligence work to you this time. ”
"Twenty foreign mercenaries, set off with me. ”
"Auxiliary mercenary group, this is the location, you should go there and garrison it immediately. Second Uncle Yi Yun got a piece of paper with a place name written on it.
After the order was given, Yi Yun's second uncle set off with his own mercenary group.
The others prepared separately according to the order, and when noon came, Xingchen found Yi Yun alone, handed over a note, and set off with a large group of people.
After a day's march, they finally arrived in the town of Floating Light. Xingchen stood in front of Fuguang Town, looking at the Fuguang Town that had already been built, and had some indescribable feelings in his heart. This is his former home, but with the departure of his parents, he has lost his sense of home.
Not long after, the city gate of Fuguang Town opened, and Xuanyuan Feng, who was wearing silver armor, came to Xingchen accompanied by a middle-aged lieutenant general.
Xuanyuan Feng arched his hand and said, "Second brother." ”
The middle-aged deputy general was none other than Uncle Li, and he bowed to Xingchen, "Young Master Xingchen." ”
Xingchen also gave his hand, "Third brother, Uncle Li." ”
Xuanyuan Feng then said: "Second brother, I have prepared a place for you to live, please come with me." With that, he entered the town with the stars.
As soon as he passed through the city gates, Xingchen saw a number of children, all about six years old, from the seven military towns. He asked, "How many children are there?"
Xuanyuan Feng sighed, "Our border towns are not prosperous, and there are only more than 3,000 school-age children in the seven military towns. If it was a time of war, there might not be a thousand. ”
At this point, Xingchen knew that on the opening day of the year after he became an orphan due to the war, there were only more than 50,000 school-age children in the entire Fusu City.
After walking a long distance, Xingchen and his party finally came to a military camp. Xuanyuan Feng introduced: "This small military camp is for the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment, although it is simple, it only needs to endure for three days. ”
Looking at the barracks in front of him, Xingchen waved his hand, and more than 110 people behind him walked into the barracks and began to settle down.
At this time, Xuanyuan Feng coughed dryly, "Second brother, come with me to the General's Mansion, my father wants to see you, and I specially left a guest room courtyard for you." ”
Xingchen shook his head, "This mission is very difficult, and for the sake of morale, I must live here. It's already night, and I'll be visiting early tomorrow morning. ”
Xuanyuan Feng was helpless, "Okay! It's not early, I'll go back first." I'll be waiting for you tomorrow morning at the gate of the General's Palace. ”
Seeing Xuanyuan Feng leave, Xingchen walked into the big tent in the middle with Blood Dance, and as soon as he entered it, Blood Dance couldn't wait to take off his red hood, "It can be regarded as suffocating me, I don't understand, why am I carrying this thing." ”
Xingchen walked over to Blooddance and put her hood back on, "Because the first time you and I met, I felt the urge to kill you. Most of the people here have died because of the war, and wearing a hood can save a lot of trouble. ”
After staring at the stars for a while, Blood Dance hugged each other and said softly, "You must remember that I wear a hood because I love you." ”
Xingchen slowly stretched out his hand, "Thank you." ”
The scene of the two of them embracing is reflected in the eyes of the other in the darkness. This person was covered in black qi, and beside her, there was a purple qi figure. The two looked at it for a while, then quietly left the place.
After they left, there was a flash of red light in the big tent, and there was no one else.
Outside Fuguang Town, a blood-colored figure was looking at the two figures in front of him, and the Xingyao Sword appeared in his hand, "I have felt that someone is following me since Fusu City, who are you?"
The purple figure looked at the red-haired Xingchen, "The alertness is good. Then he looked at the black figure, "Holy Flame Envoy, I'll leave it to you here." After saying that, he disappeared.
Xingchen looked at the black figure, already thinking about how to escape. It is rumored that the Sword Demon Star Luo has eight holy envoys, and the weakest of them is also a saint-level consummation existence, but these eight people disappeared for no reason before the decisive battle. Now that it has reappeared, Xingchen can only think about how to escape.
The black gas figure looked at the stars, stretched out his hand, and a flame appeared in the palm of his hand, turning into a phoenix shape, and flew directly into the sky.
There was a particularly familiar aura in this phoenix flame, and he looked at the black figure with a shocked expression, "How could it be you?"
Because of Xingchen's words, the black gas slowly dissipated, and the flames also fell on the city tower of Fuguang Town, causing a huge explosion, and also illuminating the nearby sky, and a beautiful shadow was reflected in Xingchen's eyes.
Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Xingchen's thoughts froze, "Why you, Concubine Ming?"
Concubine Ming, who was dressed in black, smiled, "Yes, it's me, I originally wanted to apologize to you." As he spoke, he looked at the red bat mark on Xingchen's neck and continued, "It seems that there is no need to apologize. ”
Hearing this, Xingchen described himself as crazy, "Hahaha, it turns out that all this is fake. The qi and blood in his heart turned upside down, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground backwards.
Seeing this, Concubine Ming eagerly stretched out her hand, stretched out halfway, she stopped, looked at Xingchen's eyes hesitantly, and after a while, with a ruthless heart, the figure disappeared.
After she left, the red light flashed, the merger was lifted, and the blood dance appeared. She looked at the stars who were bleeding from the corners of her mouth and her eyes were blank, leaving tears of distress, and just wanted to touch the stars, a voice came from afar, "The attack is sent out near here, search for me, and kill the enemy if you encounter it." ”
Hearing this, Blood Dance wanted to call for help, but the cloak on her head made her change her mind, so she could only pick up the star and disappear in a blood light.
The next day, in front of the barracks where the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment was stationed, Xuanyuan Feng came here, but found that Yi Lei was eagerly asking the members, and the personnel were going in and out, as if they were searching for something, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yi Lei shook his head, "Last night, the regiment commander left a word and disappeared. ”
Xuanyuan Feng described eagerness, "What words?"
Yi Lei thought back and said, "He said that someone was following him and wanted to go out and have a look." ”
When Xuanyuan Feng heard this, he secretly said badly, "It seems that the second brother is very likely to be taken away by the person who attacked the city tower." ”
At this time, in the small courtyard of a guest room in the City Lord's Mansion of Guardian City in the Blood Sea Country, Blood Dance looked at Xingchen who was lying on the bed like a vegetative person, and shouted loudly, "Xingchen, can you say something?"
But there was no response.
After a while, Luo Lan came here, holding a scroll in his hand, "My father said that Xingchen is a soul that has closed itself, it should not be the first time, coupled with the special defense of his sea of consciousness, although it is a little difficult to wake him up, but this thing can make him wake up as soon as possible." "The soul of a practitioner closes itself off for a year or until death, which is a very dangerous state of stolenness.
Blood Dance hurriedly took the scroll in his hand and glanced at it, "Great." ”
Luo Lan smiled slightly, "My father gave you the quota for this year's Blood Soul Pool, Blood Dance, you bring the stars with me." "The Blood Soul Pool, built by the demigods of the Blood Clan, contains powerful blood clan energy, and is the standard configuration of the big families in the Blood Sea.
Blood Dance nodded.
Half an hour later, in the top space of the seven-story pagoda in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Blood Dance gently put the stars into the Blood Soul Pool, took out the scroll, and whispered, "Blood Soul Illusion Memory." ”
After memorizing it, the scroll was put away, and Blooddance's hand rested on the tie of the red coat.
Outside the seven-story pagoda, Luo Lan looked at the top floor that was shining with red light, and was a little worried, "Is it really possible?"
Beside him, the defender patted Loren's shoulder, "Don't worry! Blood Dance has the purest high-level blood bloodline, and her sacrifice is definitely okay, but in this way, if Lu Xingchen discovers the truth in the future, it will be too aggrieved Blood Dance. ”
The red glow at the top of the tower shone for three whole days before stopping.
It was still the same small courtyard, where the sunlight shone in through the windows and swayed on the faces of the stars. He opened his eyes and looked at Blood Dance lying next to the bed.
In his memory, the two met in a team for the first time in the Peach Blossom Forest in the Divine Dragon Secret Realm, and they have been until now.
After thinking about it, he got up, and his pajamas changed into dark blue dark stripes. Turning around, he found that Blood Dance was looking at him, so he smiled, "You're awake." ”
Blood Dance nodded, looking at the smiling stars, she smiled happily.
"Blood Soul Illusion" needs to cooperate with the Blood Soul Pool, and with a high-level blood bloodline, she can modify the memories of another person in her heart into herself without hurting the soul of the practitioner, and eliminate the bad part.
Now, the protagonist of all the memories of Concubine Ming in Xingchen's heart has become Blood Dance, and some unreasonable places have been naturally polished, of course, these memories, Blood Dance will also know, just like she really experienced those things with Xingchen.
Xingchen looked at the decorations around him, and asked a little, "Where are we? What happened before?"
Blood Dance got up and walked in front of Xingchen, "This is the Guardian City Lord's Mansion, three days ago, we were attacked by the desolate men of the Demon Soldiers, you were seriously injured, I brought you here, and the Guardian saved you." ”
During the Blood Dance's narration, Xingchen recalled some fragments, the phoenix flame flew high, and there was the fact that he vomited blood and fell to the ground, which seemed to be indeed what Blood Dance said.
After thinking about it, he took Blood Dance's hand, "Let's go, let's go to the defender to thank you, and then return to Fusu City to complete the escort mission, it should be too late now." ”
When they went out, they were taken to a gazebo by the waiters who had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard, where Loran was waiting.
Loraine's first words were, "If you look for my father, forget it, he is in retreat in order to save you." ”
Xingchen was disappointed, but he didn't say anything, so he chatted casually with Luo Lan.
During the chat, he discovered that Luo Lan seemed to have re-entered the cultivation process, and he also learned the reason, the defender sacrificed some of the family business in exchange for something that could restore the blood bloodline. Xingchen was relieved of this, in fact, he had always had an idea in his heart, after finding out the truth about the war, he would take Luo Lan to the spiritual world, but now it seems that he doesn't need it.
After talking for half an hour, he left with Blood Dance and headed for Fusu City.
In Fuguang Town, Fusu City, the high-level leaders of the escort team gathered together to discuss the specific escort force arrangements.
In terms of troops, each of the seven major military towns sent 100 soldiers. In terms of mercenary groups, the Vermilion Bird Mercenary Group, as well as the Holy Wind Mercenary Group, there are more than 300 people gathered here.
Three days ago, the castle tower was attacked, which showed that they had been targeted, and the possibility of being attacked again on the way to the escort was too great, and no one was willing to lead the team to be the forward, and they were all vying for the position of the rear army. So the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment, where the leader of the regiment had disappeared, was proposed.
This time, Yi Lei stopped doing it, and smashed the table next to him with one palm, "A group of bad seeds, what kind of thing, whoever dares to use us as gunmen, I will kill him now." ”
One of the junior generals of the army directly pulled out his knife, "People who dare to threaten the military, you don't want to live anymore." Believe it or not, I led my troops to exterminate the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment. ”
Looking at the chaotic scene, Xuanyuan Feng, who was originally presiding over the meeting, really didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a powerful momentum descended, and everyone looked at the door, where Xingchen was standing.
He looked at the young general who drew his sword and ordered, "Xuanyuan Feng, lock him up." With a wave of his hand, two sword shadows appeared, and the young general was seriously injured and fell to the ground.
Xuanyuan Feng smiled and waved his hand, and two soldiers appeared and carried the young general away.
The young general was not convinced at all, but could only shout, "What are you that dare to attack me." "The voice is getting farther and farther away.
Xingchen walked to Xuanyuan Feng and sat down, and took out a seal letter, "This is the general seal letter of my father Lu Hao, according to the military regulations of the Yan and Huang Kingdoms, my father died in battle, and my son succeeded him." Although Fuguang Town already has a town guard general, there is no dismissal order against my father, and my nobility, the son of a town guard general, will not be automatically eliminated until I am thirty years old. In other words, my identity, the general of Fuguang Town, the head of the seven towns on the border of Fusu City, has lost his real power, but he still orders you to do it. Which of you is not convinced. ”
One of them immediately stood up, "I don't accept it, you are taking advantage of military regulations." ”
With a wave of Xingchen's hand, the man was directly seriously injured and was carried out by two soldiers.
Xingchen looked at the crowd, "Okay now, let's start discussing." ”
It is said to be a discussion, but it is simply a family statement. The convoy was divided into seven parts by the stars, and the soldiers of the seven towns were responsible for guarding the children in their respective towns. As for the two young generals who were put out and locked up, their soldiers were handed over by Xingchen to the two inner students of Zhuge Academy.
Yi Lei took his men as the forward, and the other eighteen congenital-level mercenaries recruited by Xingchen were hidden among them, and the Suzaku Mercenary Group was the rearguard.
After that, Xingchen left with Xuanyuan Feng, leaving behind a group of high-ranking escort team members who were talking.
Soon noon came, and under the watchful eyes of the stars, the long procession of carriages left Fuguang Town in a predetermined order and entered the mountains.
After traveling fifty miles, a squad of rangers appeared and merged into the vanguard of the escort team, and the captain of the squad told Yi Lei in detail about the geography of the vicinity. Next, after traveling for half a day, night fell, and the team was safe and sound, and the eight ranger squads encountered on the way sneaked into the mountains and hid again.
When the time came late at night, some of the soldiers on duty fell asleep.
Not long after, in the mountains, a black shadow rushed into the camp and came directly to the Chinese army's tent.
The high-ranking members of the convoy were waiting here, and this dark shadow was none other than Xingchen, who had come here and issued an order to form a team of three hundred men to attack a valley.
The leader of the team was a middle-aged man, and before leaving, Xingchen bowed his hand and said, "Uncle Xuanyuan, next, it's up to you." ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand, "Don't worry! ”
Xingchen continued: "Uncle Xuanyuan, those masters, try to repel as much as possible, but the little minions should try to capture them alive. And once you make a move, you have to go back to Fuguang Town as soon as you are over, I am worried that this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”
The middle-aged man sighed, "Okay, alas, I was called by your father before, and now I am called by you again." After saying that, the middle-aged man had already walked out of the tent and disappeared with the team.
Before that, Xingchen did not travel with the large army, in order to hide in the shadows and lead the ranger team in search of possible attackers. And General Xuanyuan has been hiding in the ranks.
Not long after, a strong battle broke out in the valley in the distance.
The battle soon ended, and the fifty or so crazy men in black who were still alive were carried to the stars with chains all over their bodies.
As Xingchen waved his hand, the face towels on the faces of the black-clothed men were torn off, and they were all ordinary people with pure black eyes.
Xingchen walked up to one of them, took out the gas concentrating bottle, and began to cast it. After the man woke up, he looked around blankly, "Who are you and where is this?"
Xingchen said, "We are the escort team, and you and these men in black behind you are the attackers. ”
The man immediately argued, "No way, my son is in the ranks, how can I attack the convoy?" When he saw the other men in black, he stopped talking, because he had seen the madness in the eyes of those familiar folks.
Xingchen waved his hand, and all the men in black were escorted down.
He came to the side of the more than two hundred dead men in black and sighed, "Once you are controlled by the heart demonic qi, it is really difficult to capture." ”
Xuanyuan Feng beside him asked, "Second brother, what's going on?"
Xingchen explained, "They are all ordinary people in Fusu City, but now they are puppets controlled by the demonic energy. He turned to look at the group of mercenaries and soldiers, "It seems that we have to check the inside before we leave." Third brother, gather all the Illusion Dao cultivators in the team into a team and bring them to meet me. ”
