Chapter 305: Sleepless Night, a harbinger of war
Late one night, the cold wind in the northern city was bitter, and the moonlight reflected the snow and was depressed. The lights of the house had long since been extinguished, but there was still no silence on the long street, and many soldiers with torches roamed around in groups, their faces frozen with fear and uneasiness.
Five days have passed since leaving the white bat's home.
At this time, before the night passed, in the huge northern city, in addition to the royal palace, there was only one place in the city where the lights were dim, and here was the inn where the Yunlong monks lived before.
After all, the previous hut was cramped, so in an emergency, this place had been purchased by the Righteous Path Alliance for a lot of money to be used as a temporary camp, and the plaque had not been taken off, but it was no longer open to the public.
In a large house in the backyard of the inn, the walls of the front and back rooms have been renovated and opened, although it is cold outside, the temperature inside the house is like an oven, and the heat wave bursts out from the gap between the windows and doors, and when it turns into bursts of snow-white water vapor floating upward, it is a spectacle at first glance.
At this time, in the room, there were three huge iron furnaces, the fire in the furnace was burning, a middle-aged man in shorts was sitting on the side of the road, holding a hammer in one hand, and pulling the bellows with the other hand from time to time, blowing the flames in the furnace whirring, because the fifth master used a unique secret method, so the flame color in the three iron furnaces was different, divided into dark red, light blue, pink and white.
And this man who is pulling the bellows is the fifth Youxin who is known as the "first craftsman" today, speaking of which, the fifth master hates others to call him the first craftsman, because this nickname and his name feel really strange to read.
The fifth master is indeed a perennial soldier, his skin is dark red and black, which is caused by perennial high temperature baking, and even his pores can't exud sweat. There are tools scattered around him, pliers, hammers, chisels and leaks, and there are more than ten kinds of hammers alone, and at this time, the fifth master pulled the wind box without saying a word, but his two eyes never left the 'black iron window' in front of him.
The window is fastened to a special steel plate. The steel plate has grooves, which closes the window opening card, and the fifth master saw that the fire was almost over, so he took out three pieces of charcoal from each of the three stoves, and gently placed them on the window, and then yelled at Li Hanshan next to him: "Come!"
Li Hanshan understood. The light between the eyebrows flickered, and the whole room was shrouded in blue light, and then, Li Hanshan stared at the open window, and the blue light gradually retracted, and finally only wrapped the open window. And at this moment, I saw that the fire of the three pieces of charcoal on the window was magnified violently, and the heat wave was coming, even if it was the fifth master, he was also squinted by the smoke.
In this way, after burning the scene for about three minutes, the fifth master raised his eyebrows and shouted again: "Stop!"
Li Hanshan, who was sweating profusely, took a breath and dispersed his spiritual technique. And at the moment when Lan Mang disappeared, Wu Ye quickly grabbed a sledgehammer and a black chisel from his side, and then he very skillfully pierced the chisel between the charcoal fires that had turned into powder, slammed his right hand, and knocked it without hesitation.
Even the window frames trembled.
And just after the last sound, the black chisel shattered, and the fifth master gasped and carefully brushed off the ashes on the window with a steel brush, put it on the plate and gently pulled it, and after a while, I saw him use a small pliers to pick out a small piece from the ashes. At the same time, he turned his head to Li Hanshan and smiled: "Look, the effect is getting more and more obvious." ”
Under Li Hanshan's Lingzi technique and the precision skills of the fifth master, they really destroyed the window opening little by little!
However, this efficiency is not satisfactory, I saw Li Hanshan wipe his sweat, and then said: "Fifth master." It's been almost six days, and we've only chiseled more than 20 pieces in total, can't we catch up?"
The fifth master shook his head, and then said to Li Hanshan: "Don't worry, what we are doing now is just to loosen the outer layer of this stubborn iron, according to the current progress, maybe it won't take five days to not need the demonic power on your body, and after the world takes back the 'fire' I want, it will be the time for the old man and me to do my real thing............ By the way, what did you say that kid wanted me to build those things, how do I think he doesn't look like a person with that kind of 'hobby', I don't understand what you three descendants say, what the hell did he do?"
Five days ago, Li Hanshan and the two went to the village of the white bat to find Shisheng, because the situation was urgent and could not be delayed, so they did not stay there for long, after making up the plan to counterattack, everyone quickly sought their own positions, and after leaving the white bat's house, Shisheng did not return to the north with them, he wanted to prepare the key items for the counterattack before the next demon invasion.
And one of the things he wants to prepare is the 'demon fire' to be used to open the window and change the knife, because the things that Shisheng entrusted the fifth master to build are very simple, and it doesn't take half an hour, and the fifth master will help him get it right, at that time, after taking the wrapped items, the fifth master of the world said: In less than ten days, I will definitely send the demon fire back, so please start preparing after you arrive in the north.
The fifth master would think of Shisheng's words at this time, and he was still a little puzzled in his heart, so he asked Li Hanshan, and Li Hanshan's head hurt when he thought of Shisheng now, and I have to say that since he came back from the underworld, the things in his mind are even more daring and even absurd than before, such as this time..................
Li Hanshan smiled bitterly: "Don't ask, I'm afraid you'll be distracted, you just need to know that this kid doesn't care about doing ridiculous things, but he is really for the whole world." ”
"Oh well. The fifth master is also open-minded, anyway, he just said it casually, because at this time, all he was thinking about in his heart was how to transform this once-in-a-lifetime treasure knife, so even if the world poked a hole in the sky, he wouldn't worry about it, so after hearing Li Hanshan's answer, he sat down next to the stove and pulled up the bellows with all his might.
The fire was whirring, and seeing that the fifth master was so engrossed, Li Hanshan said to him: "Fifth master, why don't I help you, you haven't slept for five days." ”
"What is this?" I saw that the fifth master was happy and said: "No, because only I know the heat of these three furnaces, and as long as it is for forging knives, I don't sleep for a month." It's you, kid, don't you take a break? next time you need an hour, hurry up and get some sleep. ”
"I've slept enough. I saw Li Hanshan smile faintly, then turned around and pushed the door open, and a cool breeze hit his tired body a little refreshed. The reason why Li Hanshan didn't sleep, the fifth master would not know. I saw him say softly: "Time is very tight, juniors go to ...... Calculate the matter of the imperial mausoleum, and if I come back in an hour, I will not disturb the fifth master first. ”
Now that it has reached this point, everyone is doing their last thing to protect this world. So even if Li Hanshan doesn't have Tai Sui in his body, he won't rest, even if he only has a little time, he will do his best to find the whereabouts of the imperial tomb.
After saying that, he saluted the fifth master, and then gently closed the door. At that time, a bright moon was in the sky, there were no clouds in the sky, the night was clean and scary, the backyard of the inn was covered with snow, Li Hanshan walked slowly towards the inn with the snow, at this time in the inn, there were scattered some righteous path alliances at the table drinking and roasting the fire. Most of them were injured, and after seeing Li Hanshan, those demon hunters hurriedly got up and saluted him: "Li Daxia." ”
Li Hanshan hurriedly sat everyone down, he understood that these demon hunters were all good, even in the face of the more powerful Tai Sui demon soldiers, they never flinched, it can be said that they are all heroes, and the injuries they suffered are the totems that belong to heroes.
At that moment, a monk ran in from outside the inn. It was the monk who was familiar with them, because it was inconvenient for his legs, so now he was in charge of conveying important decisions to everyone, no, he had just returned from outside. After seeing Li Hanshan, he stepped forward with a tired face and said, "Brother Li, you are so good, Brother Liu just asked me to ask you, how is the progress of that matter?"
"There is no room for optimism. I saw Li Hanshan whisper to him: "I'm going to eliminate those graves one by one, what happened to the drunkard? He is also responsible for two duties now, is he lazy?"
Nan Sheng smiled bitterly: "There shouldn't be, because Brother Liu is now hanging the wine gourd around his neck, and his hands don't even have time to drink, he asked me to tell you that the 'formation' outside the door will be completed in ** days, so don't be distracted, just do your thing." ”
This time, the three brothers were all unprecedentedly determined to dispel the arrogance of Qiao Zi in one fell swoop, so they didn't talk about the world, Liu Bolun was not idle these days, he was proficient in the art of Qimen, and he arranged several Qimen arrays outside the city in the north in one go, just to be able to beat them when the demon soldiers attacked.
Of course, this qiē was carried out with the consent of the monarch of the northern kingdom, since the last incident, Li Hanshan and Liu Bolun understood that the current situation was beyond control, and it was not enough for them to defend the city, so they entered the palace after returning to the northern kingdom, and the king was so frightened that he lost his interest in composing poetry after learning that a group of monsters would come soon.
Fortunately, when Li Hanshan and Liu Bolun expressed their intentions, the monarch settled down and said that as long as they had needs, the northern kingdom would definitely meet them even if they did their best.
Then the king said to them, "How many soldiers do you need?" 10,000, 20,000, and will the people of the city use it?
As long as a thousand is enough, Liu Bolun returned to the king: as long as a thousand strong soldiers help him carry wood to set up the formation, and the city should strengthen patrols. In addition, don't tell the people in the city about this matter, you must know that this matter is a matter of life and death, if the news leaks out, it will definitely cause great panic, and before the monster comes, your royal city will be in chaos first.
When the monarch of the northern kingdom heard this truth, he immediately issued an edict to select a thousand sturdy soldiers from the army, and transferred them to Liu Bolun in the name of consolidating the fortifications of the outer city, and ordered the major generals to strengthen the garrison in the city in the next two months, and at the same time posted the emperor list in the trouble: although there are occasional demons in the city recently, the royal family has hired many demon hunters to subdue demons and subdue monsters, within two months, the demons and evil will be punished, and the people in the city should cooperate with the officers and soldiers and the masters, do not go out after nightfall, and stay until the spring equinox, the royal family will play the grain again.
Sure enough, after the emperor's list was posted, the people were jubilant, and the already panicked atmosphere was gone.
Even if there are demons, didn't Majesty say that a lot of demon hunters have been invited?
Therefore, the situation in the north has gradually stabilized.
But beneath this stable surface is an undercurrent, and in the past few days, demon hunters have begun to come to the northern kingdom in twos and threes, and most of them belong to the Righteous Path Alliance. Now that the news of Tai Sui's appearance in the northern kingdom has spread in the rivers and lakes, there will be more demon hunters gathered here in the coming days, but this time they are not to bargain, but to do their part.
After all, now. To save others is to save oneself.
And the paper kite, the forces that first came to the northern country, have already begun to act, they wander in the northern country, as long as they are evil, they will rush to the scene as soon as possible.
The smell of war is getting stronger.
The book returned to the main story, and said that Li Hanshan sighed softly after listening to the invincible words. At this time, he could completely imagine Liu Bolun's embarrassment, so he didn't say anything, but after instructing him to win, he hugged his fists with the demon hunters in the inn, and then returned to his room, and his eyes were raised. His hands kept pinching.
At the same time, Beiguo East Street, in front of a butcher's shop.
This butcher shop is connected to a wine shop, under the bright moon, the cold wind agitated, and the wine guise that keeps swaggering in the wind is suddenly splashed with a blood!
Then, a terrible scream came out!
The closed door was smashed to pieces by a corpse. Looking in from the broken doorway, I saw two corpses of a man and a woman on the ground of the wine shop, the man's body was torn in half and he had not yet lost his breath, the blood choked the throat, and there was a gurgling sound, and the woman was even more miserable, reaching out and not saying anything, a thigh stained with blood and grease was being held on a big hand full of miscellaneous hair!
A strangely shaped youkai was gnawing on that leg with relish, and this youkai looked like a fledgling bird. There is a tradition of eating hairy eggs in the north since ancient times, and this monster is like a bird's fetus in that hairy egg, but it is a hundred times larger than an ordinary bird's fetus, and its body is full of wrinkles. There were four human hands covered with slime on his chest, and the youkai giggled while eating meat, which was really weird and terrifying.
And just when the door of the wine shop was smashed, dozens of officers and soldiers with torches and demon hunters quickly rushed to both sides of the street, and veiled paper kites and swords stepped forward to witness the tragedy in the wine shop.
They came late.
The officers and soldiers were frightened by the monster, and the paper kite did not hesitate to draw his sword, and when he saw someone coming outside the door, the monster was not afraid of rejecting it, so he threw the thigh in his hand and pounced out with a 'quack'!
The wings of the monster set off a strange wind, extinguished many torches, everyone was shocked, and the difference between the officers and soldiers and the demon hunter also appeared at this time, just when the officers and soldiers were at a loss, the paper kite had already taken six demon hunters and the monster to fight together, when the fierce battle, the paper kite only felt that this monster was really difficult to deal with, the skin was rough and the flesh was thick, and even her sword could not be pierced lightly.
The officers and soldiers also joined the battle, the demon hunters possessed one, and the officers and soldiers behind them took the opportunity to stab with their spears, but the monster broke their spears when he turned around, and took several officers and soldiers away.
But it didn't feel it, and at this moment, a black shadow with a gourd tied to its neck was running towards it!
It was Liu Bolun, I saw the shirtless Liu Bolun running all the way, so fast, he actually rolled up the snow on the long street, and pulled out a white line behind him, just when the monster was about to jump up, Liu Bolun took a step and rushed to its back, and then chiseled it to the ground with a blow of old fist!
The monster screamed, and Liu Bolun tilted his neck and took a sip of wine, took out a fire fold from his pocket and put it in front of his mouth, and started an unreasonable squirt towards the monster!
The streets were instantly lit up with flames, and the officers and soldiers cheered.
And Liu Bolun wiped his sweat after burning this monster to death, and spat at it with a curse, and the paper kite stepped forward and sighed: "Brother Liu, thanks to you for coming, but, we are still one step late............"
"Didn't any of this family survive?" Liu Bolun sighed.
The paper kite said with some sadness: "There is only a child who can just speak, these monsters............ It's so hateful. ”
"Give the child to the palace to raise. Liu Bolun grabbed a gold medal from behind his buttocks, shook it at the soldiers and said, "Your Majesty has an order, properly settle the orphans who were mutilated by monsters, do you understand?"
"Yes, General!" the soldiers saluted, because the gold medal was given by the king of the north, and the soldiers could be mobilized, and Liu Bolun did not have time to consider what the soldiers called him, and he sighed after watching the soldiers take the child away.
The crowd dispersed quickly, leaving only five soldiers to clean up the scene, and the paper kite saw that Liu Bolun was a little tired and sat on the steps and stepped forward to say to him: "Brother Liu, you must be very tired, why don't you go and rest first?"
"I don't have time to rest. I saw Liu Bolun grinning, and then said to the paper kite: "There are still twenty-three formations waiting for me to arrange outside, sister, you don't know, those who are soldiers have not rested, how can I be embarrassed to rest?"
Paper Kite understands the plight of these three people, for the upcoming battle, these three people are all multitasking, take Liu Bolun as an example, due to the lack of manpower in the city, plus the monster conjured by Tai Sui is different from ordinary monsters, ordinary demon hunters can only contain it, and then send out a signal to let Liu Bolun outside the city to destroy it.
It's not that the demon hunters are too weak, it's just that Tai Sui's strength is too strong.
The paper kite talked, then took out a small bag of things from the backpack and handed it to Liu Bolun, saying: "Sister Bai is not here now, she entrusted me when she left, and said that if you are tired, I will give it to you, you have to take care of your body, Brother Liu." ”
Liu Bolun took the paper bag, opened it and took a look, it was now his favorite butcher shop, he couldn't help but smile warmly, but said in an indifferent tone: "This girl, I knew that there was still a bag hidden, forget it, I will accept it." ”
With that, he picked one out and put it in his mouth and munched on it, recalling in his head what the white bat had said to him when he had left the village a few days earlier.
We won't say what the white bat said to Liu Bolun at that time, but it is undeniable that those words brought Liu Bolun a lot of motivation and strength.
Seeing that he was still very energetic, the paper kite breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and saw her say softly: "You say............ Sister Bai, has it met the world now?"
"I guess I guess I met it. I saw Liu Bolun take a sip of wine, and then replied: "In the past two years, its foot strength has been much faster than before, it has been five days, and it should have arrived at the Bailugou............ Wait?"
Paper Kite was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
I saw Liu Bolun sneer, swallowed the meat shop in his mouth, and then stood up, moving his wrist and saying, "There are still fish that have slipped through the net." ”
While speaking, he heard a cracking sound from the butcher shop next door, and Liu Bolun gave the paper kite a look, the paper kite understood, and the two rushed onto the roof one after the other, only to see Liu Bolun roaring loudly: "Great, it's better to have more, it's better to come together, you monsters!"
After that, Liu Bolun punched the roof of the butcher shop out of a big hole, and this time, he was not late.
The night continued, slowly and quietly, and most of the people in the north were silent in their dreams of happiness, completely unaware that there was such a group of people who were protecting them while they were sleeping.
Time passed little by little, and on the twelfth day, the Sangha led by the senior monk of Yunlong Temple arrived in the north, and the power of the Righteous Path Alliance in the north was getting bigger and bigger, so it also reduced Liu Bolun's burden, and all their preparations were carried out in an orderly manner, and the white donkey came back on the thirteenth day, much later than expected.
In the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day passed, and on the afternoon of the sixteenth day, a long-lost demon cloud appeared on the distant horizon, and when it was far away, it seemed that the sky was stained with ink, and they finally came.
Above the city gate, Liu Bolun and Li Hanshan looked into the distance, and they were now, this time the number of demon soldiers seemed to be even more than the last time!
Although they had been prepared, they understood that this was still a vicious battle that could not be avoided, because this time, the purpose of that Qiao Zimu was the entire northern country.
