Chapter 331 Stop pretending, you four
Night enveloped [Daqi Town], and a steady drizzle fell.
The waning moon was looming, and it was difficult to see anything in the dark sky. Only two hunters carefully returned to the town along the road.
Daqi is the most remote town in the Yanshan area, usually focusing on the trade of mountain goods.
The scale is far from comparable to that of Yanliang Town, with a permanent population of only about 20,000. However, the folk customs are extremely strong. Even before the rise of martial arts, Daqi Town was relatively martial.
Two hunters came to the city gate in the rain, even wearing raincoats were already soaked.
"What the hell is the weather? The temperature has dropped sharply in July, and the birds and beasts have disappeared. How can it be that in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, thousands of miles of ice have to be frozen?"
"Who says it's not the case?"
“It has been raining for seven or eight days in a row, and the sun cannot come out until noon. The previous path to the mountain has collapsed, and now it is empty.”
The officers and soldiers were familiar with the two of them. A rag for wiping.
"Be careful, maybe something big is going to happen in Yanshan?"
"What's wrong?"
The officers and soldiers hesitated and said, "I don't know if it's a demon that's causing trouble, but there's always something going on in the city these days. The lingering smell..."
Orion couldn't help but look at the almost deserted street.
The mountain breeze blows.
A faint fishy smell flooded into their mouths and noses, but when they tried to distinguish it carefully, they felt that the so-called corpse odor was just a vague illusion.
"What did the court say? Are you letting it go?"
The officer and soldier hesitated for a few seconds before replying: "The Jinwu Guards came to see it, and the court denied that it was a demon, and it seemed that no action was taken."
If you think about it carefully, it's not that the imperial court has taken no action, it's just that it has been instigating the customs of immortals and gods.
The officers and soldiers were not panicked. After all, everyone knew that Yanshan was Zhong Kui’s dojo, and the demons could not make any waves in Daqi Town.
The night rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Orion was in no hurry to return home and chat for a while.
The raindrops hit the bluestone, making a dull sound. The lantern in front of the shop swayed in the rain, like a dark will-o'-the-wisp.
“Huh?”
The officers and soldiers signaled Orion to be silent and pointed to the official road outside the city.
I saw a figure wandering on the official road. The footsteps were extremely clear in the darkness. The face was hidden by the robe, and the appearance could not be seen clearly.
"What kind of bastard did you come to Daqi just before the city gate was closed?"
"Hello"
The officers and soldiers called several times, and received a hoarse response from the figure.
"Ahem, cough, cough, cough. I am an old man selling goods in the mountains. I pass by Daqi Town. Can the officials be accommodating, otherwise there will be no place to hide from the rain."
The officers and soldiers and two The hunters looked at each other with serious expressions.
They have a clear understanding of Yanshan Mountain. Where can the old salesman come from in the mountain? This person is probably transformed by a demon, and Jin Wuwei must be notified as soon as possible.
The officers and soldiers winked, and one of them turned around and planned to go to the Yamen to report to the official.
The old man coughed and paused before the hunter took a few steps. Looking back, he could no longer see the old man in the rain.
Crack.
In an instant, the old man appeared half a meter away from the city gate.
"I'm offended by Meng Lang."
The officers and soldiers took a closer look and saw that the old man lifted up his robe, revealing a strange and inexplicable fox face, with the corners of his grinning mouth reaching to his ears.
"Monster...monster..."
"Hey, I am not a demon, but Hu Cai, the inner disciple of Moyun Cave."
Fox-faced spitting White smoke appeared, and the expressions of the three people became dazed, and then they continued chatting at the city gate, as if nothing strange had ever happened.
Hu Cai looked around to make sure there were no peeps and then walked into the town.
"Well, as expected, there is a smell of corpses. It seems that the Long Live Fox King is right. The Arhat under Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has arrived at the Salt Mountain."
His brows are full of energy. His eyes were half exposed, observing meticulously.
The current situation in Yanshan is very strange. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has obviously intervened in advance, but Lu Zu did not see any counterattack.
Boom.
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the streets and alleys of Daqi Town.
At that moment, it was like a huge thing was lying in the sky above the town, and countless limbs flashed past, which was terrifying.
Hu Cai was sweating coldly, and the shadow of the giant thing seemed to be an illusion.
"What exactly is going on? Has Lu Zu given up on Daqi Town? If the demon just read it correctly, is it the [Buddha outside the temple]?"
He learned through the Long Live Fox King that, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva refined many kinds of ghost weapons.
For example, the monks in the temple are the ghosts responsible for preaching and teaching, while the Buddha outside the temple is the evil thing used for refining elixirs and refining weapons.
“Damn it, damn it!”
“Buddhas outside the temple have come to visit, and they said that Lu Zu has not given up on Daqi Town.”
Think about it, Yan The terrain in the mountain area is covered with mountains and forests, and there are four towns in total. It is impossible to hold the pass with scattered forces.
Hu Cai would also give up one or two towns.
He was secretly glad that he didn't let his disciples come.
Originally, the Long Live Fox King asked Hu Cai, who had completed the Nine Realms, to lead half a hundred disciples to garrison Daqi. Hu Cai realized that Daqi Town might be abandoned, so he decided to visit the town alone.
The results of the investigation also show that the garrison in Daqi will survive nine deaths, no, ten deaths and no life.
"I will find a few Arhats in the city and quietly set up a magic circle. Long live the Fox King will not embarrass us."
"Haha."
"One is the Bodhisattva of Xiaoleiyin Temple, and the other is a living immortal Buddha of unknown origin. How can we, a mere mortal, interfere? If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces. No reward is needed."
Hu Cai licked his lips. , the breath of body and soul converges to the extreme.
As he walked around the outer city, he could always feel the Buddha outside the temple exhaling above his head, and the stench of corpses was constantly eroding his consciousness.
Hu Cai was shocked after finding out the current situation in Daqi Town.
Everyone with a population of 20,000 to 30,000 has abundant Qi and blood, and warriors from the Sixth Yuan Dan Realm can be seen everywhere. The leaked Qi and blood just wash away the corpse poison.
It's incredible.
Hu Cai swallowed. Even though he was a half-human and half-demon alchemist, he still couldn't resist the temptation of eating blood.
It is hard to imagine that the number of warriors in the Yanshan area exceeds 300,000.
"If the Fox King hadn't spoken, I would have chosen a few people to taste it."
Hu Cai suppressed his distracting thoughts and soon found the traces of the four Arhats. Hiding in the river connected to Piancheng District.
The Arhats each practiced Buddhist Dharma, waiting for the Buddha outside the temple to come to Daqi Town completely.
It can be seen that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is cautious. Even if there is a shortage of manpower in Daqi Town, the town will be refined in the most secure way.
As soon as the Buddha appeared outside the temple, twenty to thirty thousand warriors could refine how many immortal elixirs they could.
"No matter what, I will arrange the magic circle first."
After Hu Cai confirmed the position of the Arhat, he prepared to create a magic circle to prove himself without affecting the Buddha outside the temple. value.
Of course, the magic circle can still protect some mortal lives.
As for how long you can live, well, it depends on God’s will.
Hu Cai buried the spiritual materials prepared in advance everywhere without any warning on the surface, but in fact once activated, a chain reaction would form.
It took two days for his magic circle to take shape.
At the same time, the stench of corpses in the city is also getting worse.
The Yamen paid no attention to it, and it proved in disguise that Hu Cai's speculation was true. More than 20,000 people in Daqi had been abandoned by Lu Zu.
After Hu Cai finished everything, it was his turn to arrange the key formations.
The rain that lasted for ten days finally stopped, but the temperature was still dropping sharply, and even the walls and floors were covered with a layer of frost in the early morning.
If all the people had not practiced martial arts, such an abnormal celestial phenomenon would have caused countless casualties.
Hu Cai came to a temple in the west of the city.
To his surprise, the temple was newly built and it was not dedicated to Zhong Kui but to the god who wandered around day and night. There were very few pilgrims entering and leaving the temple. The statue of the day-traveling god faces the east, and the night-traveling god faces the west, with lifelike images.
Hu Cai felt inexplicably flustered and stroked the red paint made of cinnabar on the wall, "Judging from the date when the temple was built, it seems that it was about the same time when the Buddha outside the temple was started? "
"Could Daqi Town be a trap set by Lu Zu for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva..."
"Impossible, Daqi Town does not have any magic circle or any secret technique. Almost all the Jinwu Guards have been evacuated.”
"What's he going to do to counterattack!!"
Hu Cai thought about it and was horrified, and quickly carved the formation eye in the corner of the main hall. As the formation eye took shape, faint lines began to spread in the ground.
This magic circle is called [Drawing the Ground as a Prison], and even the gods on land cannot detect it.
Hu Cai now just wants to complete the arrangements to evacuate Daqi Town as soon as possible. No matter what Lu Zu's plan is, he cannot guess.
Suddenly.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed a movement in the eyes of the statue of Hyuyu.
Hu Cai stared at the statue of Riyu in horror. Whether it was an illusion or not, the pupils of the statue with wide eyes seemed to come to life.
He was so frightened that he trembled and did not dare to continue the engraving of his eyes.
It seems that if you make another move, you will encounter a bloody disaster.
“Photograph!”
Hu Cai touched his forehead, his eyes became extremely hollow, and his huge eyes opened between his eyebrows.
He looked up with the help of his secret technique, and saw that the head of the Riyu statue had turned into a burning fireball, and dense pupils appeared all over his body.
Demon! !
There is a demon inside the statue! ! !
Hu Cai turned pale and hurriedly escaped from the temple.
As soon as we left, we met a group of people celebrating their move to a new house. The leading young man was carrying a statue of the earth god on his back, asking the god to temporarily live in their new home.
Hu Cai retreated continuously, and the earth god turned into a demon with a head like ginseng, and its tentacles penetrated into the ground to absorb nutrients.
“Come on, come on, Yinxianlou’s roasted duck is freshly baked~~”
The waiter in the shop routinely held up the roasted duck just out of the oven and moved it around the door. The smoke filled the air and condensed into ten A few fat Kitchen God heads.
Hu Cai's scalp was numb, and his back accidentally touched the door of a residence.
"Bah!"
With a strong push, Hu Cai fell to the ground in embarrassment, only to find that there was a bloody giant hand stretched out from the portrait of the door god.
The farmer sighed and accidentally spilled the grain in the bag all over the ground.
In Hu Cai's eyes, the grains turned into sharp teeth, forming a bloody mouth. They were demons dressed as the gods of grains.
Lu Zu abandoned his chariot to protect his commander?
Fucking fart!
After Hu Cai's general sweep, there were seven or eight demons hiding everywhere.
These demons all have four thousand years of Taoism, but they have no cannibalistic nature and hide in the city in indescribable ways.
“Wait.”
“Is there a possibility.”
Hu Cai noticed a lot of similarities between demons and immortals, and the occasional taboos were consistent with the duties of immortals in the old heaven.
"They are the remnant souls of the old heavenly gods!!!"
Hu Cai's mind went blank. What was Lu Zu's identity in his previous life? At least there is an Immortal Lord among the Eight Parts of Heaven.
Otherwise, how could he come into contact with the remnant souls of immortals and gods and resurrect them into demons?
Hu Cai was stunned, with goose feathers and heavy snow falling on his head.
The snowflakes are gray-black, exuding a touch of resentment.
“The Buddha outside the temple is here!”
As soon as Hu Cai finished speaking, limbs appeared out of thin air, and a 20-meter-long figure lay across the town, with limbs connected like a baby A giant young monk whose scalp is covered with twisted scriptures.
The monk outside the temple raised his limbs and heard dull movement from the soles of his feet.
It was like an echo from hell.
The air around him grew colder with every step he took.
Hu Cai took a breath of cold air. The Buddha outside the temple has practiced Taoism for six thousand years. From the original perspective, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was just using cannons to fight mosquitoes, which was unnecessary.
It is different now. The Buddha outside the temple may not be able to please the siege of the immortals.
“I have to withdraw immediately!”
“Lu Zu is definitely capable of fighting. Where is Xiaoleiyin Temple against Lu Zuguan, it is clearly against Xiaotianting!!”
Hu Cai fled in a hurry, but it was obviously too late.
Swish, swish, swish.
The roots of the tree broke through the ground and pulled more than 20,000 people deep into the ground.
Daqi Town was reduced to an empty city, and the ghost domain of the Eight-Headed Immortal Ghost spread out at the same time, and then the ruins and broken walls replaced the houses out of thin air.
Because of the ghost father, subtle changes occurred in the fairies and ghosts.
The ghost realms overlapped to form a large ghost realm called Ghost Heaven. The demonic characteristics of the fairies and ghosts were gone, and they were no different from the gods.
"Where did the great demon come from to break into the heaven without permission? It is an unpardonable crime!"
"Take a blow from my giant spirit god!"
"The glorious way of heaven cannot be tolerated. A little filth!”
………
Not long after the immortals and ghosts gave up evil and turned to good, he became as wise as a ten-year-old child, and his speech was all learned from dramas when he was sitting in the town.
They were putting on a show and looked extremely awkward.
Hu Cai dodges in embarrassment, and the ghost realm completely seals off Daqi Town. The Buddha outside the temple is already a turtle in an urn, resisting the siege of the fairies and ghosts.
Such a scene is not unique. Except for Yanliang Town, everything is in chaos.
However, there are currently only fairies and ghosts, twenty-eight in total. After all, it is impossible for the two forces to reveal all their trump cards at once.
More than 300,000 warriors were transferred to Yanliang Town by the Teleportation Tree to welcome Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"The light is absolutely not enough. The Buddha outside the temple is just a test of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
Hu Cai's pupils were shaking and he found a figure in the air watching coldly.
The scent of sandalwood fills the air.
A monk clasped his hands together and knelt devoutly among the clouds. The eight-point scar on his head was filled with Buddha's fingers, and countless scriptures were flowing.
"They are the Seven Arhats under the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's seat."
"Burning Incense Arhat!!"
The realm of Xiaoleiyin Temple is slightly different, and the immortals are called [ Human fruit].
The Arhat who burns incense is already a perfect human being and has refined more than ten scriptures. Even the Hucai in Moyun Cave have heard of his reputation.
"Hiss..."
Hu Cai looked in disbelief and found a gourd looming above the incense-burning Arhat.
Shen Lian was sitting cross-legged on the gourd with four things on him.
A starling on my shoulder.
A bone blade at the waist.
A branch in the palm of my hand.
There is a lotus platform between the tongue.
"Let's all express our opinions, who will deal with this incense-burning Arhat."
Myna turned his head and whistled, but the other three objects showed no reaction.
“You all think of me as a fool, right?”
“When I didn’t become an immortal, my cognition would inevitably be affected by the aura of demons, but now it’s a bit difficult to hide it from me, right? Don’t think about it. No effort. ”
