Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 416

The prairie in the southern Xinjiang continent stretches as far as the eye can see, with rolling mountains and green fields.

Tens of thousands of beast groups are active on this grassland, but there are also many cities built in it.

The so-called Qiancheng Kingdom is actually a big city not far from the Yugong Mountain Range, which has a history of nearly a thousand years.

Those who built the city back then planted trees around the city, dug lakes, and guided the water flow. After many years, a forest was formed around the city, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, and herbs fragrant.

But today, the entire Qiancheng Kingdom is shrouded in a chaotic atmosphere, like a miasma of smoke, making it difficult for people to see clearly what happened in the city.

It's like geomagnetic disorder, and it's like the turbulent flow of energy emitted by the unexpected collapse and disorder of many magical powers that should be very subtle.

The word Qiancheng has three meanings. One means that there are too many soldiers and chariots, and the other is used to refer to the vassal states.

The third is the place name.

It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Jinggong had a horse Qiansi, which was farmed in Qingqiu, so Qingqiu was renamed "Qiancheng".

The so-called Qiancheng is Qingqiu, which has a long history and has countless beautiful legends related to this place.

However, the Qiancheng related to Qi Jinggong is actually in the land of Qilu in the middle-earth continent.

The reason why southern Xinjiang also has such a place name is because after the immortals went to sea, they built cities in these desolate places and relocated many people.

In order to let them get a little familiar with this strange land, and to prevent them from forgetting their origins, they quoted scriptures and far-fetched words, extracted words and sentences from some ancient legends, and bestowed them on these barren lands.

This is the case in Southern Xinjiang and Eastern Wilderness, and it's not even limited to place names.

For example, in the Southern Xinjiang Continent, there used to be some indigenous tribes. After seeing the city built by the immortals, they thought it was a miracle and came to join them. Some practitioners read ancient books and took out a record from the Shan Hai Jing.

In the Overseas South Classic of the Shan Hai Jing, it is mentioned that the Yan Huo Country, its people have black hair all over their bodies, look like apes, and live in places where the heat waves are rolling, just like these tribes in the southern Xinjiang mainland.

Therefore, these people are called fire-hating people.

At that time, most of the Buddhist practitioners who came to overseas and southern borders liked to recruit people from the Yanhuo country as disciples, teach them to become Dharma protectors, and travel with eminent monks, which is quite impressive.

Over the millennia, the people of the Fire-hating Country have already naturalized, and they can no longer distinguish the appearance of the natives. They use the characters and etiquette handed down from the Middle Earth, but they still respect Buddhism the most.

At this moment, on the East [-]th Street of Qiancheng Kingdom, there is a warrior who is said to have the blood of the Nation of Fire, desperate to fight off a group of crows, and dragging the young monk surrounded by crows back to the courtyard.

The courtyard is vast, with many buildings, small bridges and flowing water, and artificial mountain bamboo forests, giving it a leisurely and leisurely demeanor.

There is also a plaque hanging outside the courtyard, with the words "Shigu Academy" written on it.

Strange to say, those crows with red eyes and sharp claws like iron did not dare to really enter that academy. Even if they circled around in groups, they never crossed the high wall at all.

Everywhere in the academy was already crowded with people, only the front yard had a little space, where some imposing Taoist priests, Confucian scholars, and monks sat cross-legged.

One of the old monks covered his mouth with his left hand and coughed repeatedly, but a golden light shot out from his right hand and landed on the blood-stained young monk.

The heartbeat of the young monk stabilized again immediately, and he fell into a drowsy sleep.

"This monk is not my disciple of Baoriwang Temple, but it is a good thing to save one more."

The old monk said to the Iron Rod Warrior, "Aba, you should also take a rest."

Aba took a breath and said, "Elder, monks are treasures. The merit of saving one monk is better than saving seven ordinary people. I will save a few more monks. The more merits and virtues, the better life in the next life will be. "

As soon as these words came out, there were several people around with subtle eyes, and they didn't blame the warrior, they just fell on the old monk frequently.

"Don't misunderstand, everyone, Abba was just selected from the Luxembourg Academy. Although he is talented in strength, he hasn't read a few Buddhist scriptures, and his ancestors are from the country that hates fire, so there are such rural sayings. It’s never been taught to disciples like this.”

The old monk quickly explained and coughed lightly, "Aba, there is chaos outside now, and those who can hold on, even if they didn't go back to their own courtyard, they must have found a place to hide..."

"Do not worry about it."

Aba stroked the back of his head and said with a silly smile, "The monk is easy to recognize. The one with bald head reflects light like gold. No wonder it is called Sengbao."

The old monk's face turned green immediately, and he spat out a mouthful of green blood.

When the mouthful of blood first hit the ground, it looked like a liquid, but it quickly turned into a piece of moss. Gradually, you could even see small colored mushrooms growing out of it.

Xu Hongzu, who was diagnosing and treating the wounded in the main room, sensed that something was wrong, and immediately stepped out, and a small bug popped out from his nail.

The little beetle landed in the clump of mushrooms with colorful spots, and its body swelled several times. It ate up the mushrooms in a few bites, and even the moss was eaten up by it. It flew around and shrank again.

"Learn more elders, after you are poisoned, the seeds of these poisons will flow in your blood, it is best not to spit it out, otherwise, the poisoned blood will fall to the ground, grow poisonous substances, and when the wind blows, the people around you may also be poisoned. "

Elder Duoxue smiled bitterly: "Friend Xu Daoist, you said that this poison can't help the poor monk, but the poor monk seems to be unable to suppress it."

Xu Hongzu said: "This is an illusion. It's probably because mushrooms are growing in your stomach. But you are at the peak of Sanxian. These mushrooms won't break your stomach, but they will make you want to vomit blood."

He took out a jet-black pill, "Elder, if you hold this in your mouth, the poisonous blood will be absorbed by this, so it doesn't matter."

Elder Duoxue took the pill and put it in his mouth, suddenly his face changed slightly, and he said vaguely, "This, what is this, how can it move?"

"This is a leech that I have refined, also known as a leech... Elder, don't spit! The poison in you is both poison and supernatural powers. Only by finding the body of the monster that harmed you can you break it. Other medicines are powerful. Harm, only this leech can make you feel better."

Xu Hongzu patted Elder Duoxue on the back and said, "How is it? Is it better? I don't think your face is so green anymore."

Elder Duoxue felt bitter in his heart, and the feeling of the poisonous blood was indeed relieved a lot, but the leech was moving around in his mouth...

"Xiyu Dao again."

He was very poisonous, so he didn't dare to waste mana to pronounce it, so he had to move his mouth and get used to it, and then he could speak clearly, "Fellow Daoist Xu, is there really no other way?"

"I have learned medical skills from Wanshen Medicine, you know the name of a medical saint, and I have also learned poison and Gu skills from the elders of Wuli Poison Sect. You two sects are family friends, so you should trust their skills."

Xu Hongzu comforted him again and again, "I said if you don't die, you won't die. Don't worry, don't worry."

"Although we can't contact people outside now, as long as we last for another two days, the big sects such as Baoriwang Temple will definitely find something strange. At that time, the Earth Immortal will come to help us, sweep away the demonic atmosphere, capture that monster, and crack it. The poisonous supernatural power in your body."

Elder Duoxue sighed: "That's the only way."

In Qiancheng Kingdom, the three most powerful people are Elder Duoxue, Xu Hongzu, and Song Changgeng, all of whom are at the peak of Sanxian.

The multi-learned elders were careless and poisoned, and now only Xu and Song can really take charge of the overall situation.

Xu Hongzu, in particular, not only had extremely high attainments in formations, but also knew medical skills and poisonous Gu. Most of the people who were too late to evacuate to his home were gathered in Shigu Academy to help treat them, and there were no major casualties.

Now people from all over the city have retreated into their respective formations. As long as they hide well and hold on for a while, it shouldn't be difficult until reinforcements arrive.

Elder Duoxue just thought of this when he heard a strange long chant.

The flock of crows flapping their wings and clamoring outside Shigu Academy were immediately startled away.

The ground vibrated slightly, as if a giant beast was approaching, chanting continuously, one high and one low, like an elephant or a cow.

Everyone in the courtyard couldn't help being on alert.

Song Changgeng also came to the front yard. His head was covered with thick black hair. It was obvious that he took care of his hair and beard on weekdays. He groomed his beard carefully. He wore a gray robe with wide sleeves and a hairband that fluttered in the wind. magic weapon.

The gate of the Shigu Academy was open, and people could see the corner of the street, and soon everyone saw what the monster that was making a long moan looked like.

This monster has a body like an elephant, its skin is black and horny, its four legs are heavy and thick, but its neck is extremely long, supporting its head high.

There are nine necks and nine heads, but they are all blue-black sheep's heads. The eyes on the nine sheep's faces are all squinted, as if they are half asleep and half awake.

The people taken in in the house also looked at the monster in fear.

A girl unknowingly slipped the medicine bowl in her hand.

With a broken sound, one of the heads at the edge of the nine-headed strange sheep turned around, opened its eyes, the pupils were purple, and the eyes were deep and deep.

The girl inadvertently looked into these eyes, and before she knew it, her stomach suddenly bulged and her clothes were arched high, as if she was pregnant in October.

It wasn't until she felt a pain in her belly that she realized something was wrong. She screamed and fell to the ground.

"In the magic way, he transforms freely into the supernatural power of reincarnation?!"

Xu Hongzu was startled, and returned to the girl. A piece of talisman was pasted on her stomach, and he shouted, "Don't look at it, whoever sees it is pregnant!"

In this Shigu Academy, there are common people in the houses on all sides, and most of the front and back yards are practitioners.

But not many people have heard of such a strange supernatural power that they can get pregnant after just looking at each other.

All women, no matter their age, hurriedly lowered their heads and covered their faces.

Unexpectedly, there was another exclamation from the front yard, and I saw that Lishi Aba knelt down on the ground, holding his belly in both hands, and said in astonishment: "Why is my stomach bulging?"

Everyone in the courtyard was in danger, and immediately showed signs of panic. If it was just a monster attacking the academy, they might not be afraid, it was just a fight.

But regardless of gender, if you look at each other and you will get pregnant, it really messes up everyone.

Song Changgeng looked at the nine-headed strange sheep, all nine pairs of eyes were opened, looked this way, immediately scolded, and patted the drum with his hands.

The formation of Shigu Academy has been operating in the dark, and it was completely activated at this moment, and the golden-red mask was immediately revealed, protecting the entire academy.

The mask cuts off the inside and outside, and everyone can't even see the outside scenery clearly. Naturally, it is impossible to have a clear look at each other.

The nine strange sheep seemed to be angry, and their eighteen eyes shot out purple light, bombarding the academy, and their bodies approached step by step.

Every time it gets closer to a certain distance, the eighteen purple rays of light become thicker and thicker. It is obvious that the magic power is profound and shocking.

"Don't be confused, this reincarnation supernatural power uses the eyes as a bridge, it is impossible to release this kind of supernatural power, and then release the divine light of destruction. This purple light has no effect on making people pregnant. As long as you avoid looking at each other, it will be fine. "

The talismans used by Xu Hongzu are not common picturesque spells, but rather some ink dots, arranged in an orderly manner and connected with lines. It is the formation talismans that can only be made by those who have a high enough knowledge of formations.

A piece of talisman paper is a small formation.

He used two pieces of talisman paper to refine the devil's embryos in the two people who had been tricked, and then he started to explain.

"The essence of his supernatural power of self-transformation is that when he looks at each other, he uses the entanglement of his eyes to put a strand of his own soul into the opponent's body, breeds the devil's embryo, destroys the supernatural power of the Taoist heart, and plunders the vital energy. It’s really hard to guard against.”

"Among Changsi Mozun's direct disciples, someone used this supernatural power to plot against many righteous heroes, but later met the young Qingtian Patriarch, and was beaten to death by Qingtian Patriarch with his eyes closed."

"It turns out that breaking this supernatural power is extremely simple, really just close your eyes."

As long as you step into the path of practice, after closing your eyes, your perception is still sharp, and there is not much difference, unless it is the kind of person who has cultivated Dharma clairvoyance, and there will be a significant gap when you close your eyes and open them.

Xu Hongzu deliberately said a few more words, mentioning this past event, also because it mentioned authoritative figures in the righteous way, it is easier to give people confidence and calm down faster.

At this time, the nine-headed monster sheep were less than ten feet away from the mask, and the purple light in their eyes was extremely thick, surged violently, and charged forward with great power.

The mask made waves, and Song Changgeng beat the snare drum again.

The purple light rushed back suddenly, pushing back the nine heads of the nine strange sheep, the whole body backed up again and again, unable to stand firmly, howling in pain.

After Xu Hongzu and Song Changgeng came to southern Xinjiang, although they lived in a hut in Yugong Mountain and prepared to make treasures, they also rented a courtyard in Qiancheng, so that Xu Hongzu and the people here could inquire about the customs and write travel notes.

Over time, well-educated people from Qiancheng Kingdom also came here, and a Shigu Academy was formed here.

The formation was laid out by Xu Hongzu himself, and the magic weapon for the formation was refined by Song Changgeng.

With the two of them presiding over the formation, even if it is an ordinary immortal, they may not be able to break the formation with one blow.

However, the howling of the nine strange sheep attracted other monsters, and a colorful light flew in the air, passing over the heads of the strange sheep, and directly hit the formation of Shigu Academy.

It was actually a big fish, covered in silvery white scales, full of fangs, but had two wings covered with feathers, and the colors of the two wings were different, one white and one blue.

Even if it is a monster, it is rare to have such a strange appearance. It looks like three kinds of monsters, cut and stitched together.

This strange fish also failed to break through the formation protection.

Xu Hongzu's face turned serious, and he sent a sound transmission to some stable people among the surrounding practitioners who still had combat power, and discussed: "Everyone, something is wrong, I'm afraid we can't wait in the city."

"These monsters began to appear five hours ago. In the first hour, there were not many of them. They came from the deep mountains and were quickly culled and killed by the practitioners in the city."

"In the second hour, monsters suddenly appeared in groups, but their individual strengths were actually not high, and their weaknesses were obvious. It was just their magical powers that caused some losses in the city."

"In the third hour, a few monsters similar to Sanxian appeared, and their supernatural powers were even more treacherous. For example, the tree demon, the poison can hurt the elder Duoxue."

From then until now, the situation in the city has been relatively stable, so everyone made the decision to stand firm and wait, because there is not much pressure to stand firm, and if they want to break through, although they are confident that they can start a fierce battle, the people in the city will surely The casualties were heavy.

As long as the reinforcements come, everyone will be happy.

"But the two loose fairy monsters just now appeared. When the strange sheep howled in pain, I felt that many formations in the city showed signs of being attacked by the loose fairy monsters."

Xu Hongzu said, "The power of monsters has increased again. If this continues, we may not be able to hold on."

The elder Duoxue was puzzled: "Where did these monsters come from?"

"Monsters will also be born on the prairie, but this is the hinterland of our Southern Xinjiang Righteous Way. Regular inspections will take the good-tempered monsters back to be disciples, and the bad-tempered ones will be killed on the spot."

"When the city lord was hunting, what did he touch in the deep mountains, so that so many evil monsters with supernatural powers and secrets, who would kill anyone when they saw them?"

Hearing this, Song Changgeng shook his head and said, "Before, the city lord's servants came back to warn, saying that the city lord strayed into the ancient tomb while hunting and alarmed some tomb guard monsters. Now it seems that it may not be an ancient tomb, and the city lord went to explore the ancient tomb In the depths, as a result, there is no news so far, so it should be more or less ominous."

Xu Hongzu said: "It's meaningless to say these things now, learn more from the elders, and give Brother Song a token."

"Brother Song, you try your best to break through the siege, go to Baoriwang Temple for help, I will do my best to arrange the formation, and delay it."

Elder Duoxue pondered: "Since the danger in the city is unknown, even fellow Daoist Song may not be able to get out."

"It's better for the poor monk to go. If he can get out, it's best. If he can't get out, he will die in the city, in Baoriwang Temple. The poor monk's life lamp will also go out, which will attract the attention of the abbot and others."

boom! ! ! !

The entire Shigu Academy was shocked, interrupting the situation where everyone was discussing secretly through sound transmission.

I saw a huge bear's paw, and the protective layer of the formation was dented.

The entire mask, like a layer of flexible film, was oppressed by the bear's paw, and the claws protruded from the bear's paw, which had already reached the front yard, and it was just a little bit short of directly touching the bald head of the elder Duoxue. .

Elder Duoxue was taken aback. Although he said he was going to die, it came too soon.

Xu Hongzu was even more frightened and angry. Not only did he hold the formation of Shigu Academy, but he also secretly connected with other formations in this city, using the formation to spread his own induction power, so the sensitivity of his induction has surpassed the category of Sanxian .

But just now, he didn't realize the strength of this bear demon.

When this giant tortoiseshell bear slowly approached, it was bloated, slow, clumsy, and its aura was negligible compared to the nine-headed sheep and the winged flying fish.

But when it stood up and slapped it down, the blast of air blasted the flying fish and the strange sheep, and most of the hundred and ten houses around Dongsi Avenue collapsed.

It was not collapsed by mana, but by a simple storm.

"A bear demon in the realm of the earth fairy? No, why is the mana so weak..."

Elder Duoxue's eyes were straightened, "Could it be that with physical strength alone, he achieved a blow comparable to that of an immortal?! What kind of monster is this?"

The five-foot-long bear monster, seeing that the palm didn't shatter the shield, twisted around and hit it with the turtle shell.

Xu Hongzu sacrificed an octagonal array plate, moved the array plate with both hands, and the golden-red mask suddenly rotated, and various uneven hexagrams and talismans appeared on the surface, and the shape also changed.

It is no longer like a hemispherical cover, but like a big drum, and the entire Shigu Academy is hidden in this drum.

The furbolg bumped into the big drum, his whole body was shaken, and he took three steps back.

The bombardment like an earth fairy did not beat the drum, and the people in Shigu Academy were unscathed.

Everyone admired him greatly, but Xu Hongzu's face was gloomy: "Elder, you've misjudged, this bear didn't use brute force."

The elder Duoxue looked over in horror.

I saw the bear's body turned halfway again, allowing everyone to inadvertently see the scene inside it through the gap in the turtle's shell.

There is no skin and flesh in its body, only a thick skeleton, and in the middle of the skeleton is a huge heart.

This heart is so big that it occupies almost one-third of the inner space of the turtle shell.

However, the heart was originally black, like a dead heart, but just now, under the collision, the power of the formation's resistance was cleverly guided there, and it was transmitted from all parts of the skeleton in an orderly manner.

The surface of the heart was immediately dented one after another, until the apex of the heart was also slightly dented, and all the shallow pits bounced away at the same time.

Boom! !

The whole heart skipped a beat.

The bear monster's aura surged, he turned around and walked over, stepped on it slowly with two steps, shaking the ground.

All the walls of Shigu Academy collapsed, and the magic artifacts buried in the ground were thrown into the air like golden pestles.

"A complete Earth Immortal!"

The formation in front of Xu Hongzu collapsed, spit out a mouthful of blood, staggered down and sat down, sighing in his heart, "I once set up formations to kill the Earth Immortal, but unfortunately..."

He just wandered here and lived here for a few years, and Shigu Academy didn't put too much effort into running it.

If you know that there are so many monsters lurking nearby, you might as well put on your face, make a few more IOUs, borrow enough magic weapons, and use the entire Qiancheng Kingdom as the base to set up an array.

At that time, with him in the lead and Song Changgeng as his assistant, how difficult is it to kill this bear?

Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity.

The bear's paw fell, and the people in Shigu Academy were so oppressed by the magic power of the earth fairy that they couldn't move, and couldn't even open their mouths.

Only one Dharma drum rose into the air and hit the bear's paw.

Song Changgeng resisted with all his strength and roared.

Not far from Qiancheng abroad, among the huts on Yugong Mountain, eighteen broken drums flew up.

In the past few years, Xu Song and Xu Song have been refining treasures and frying furnaces in the mountains. After the magic treasures were blown up, they were discarded here.

But today, even these broken drums have to be used reluctantly.

Between the clouds, a blue light flew.

Guan Luoyang's avatar looked down, and saw eighteen broken drums flying past under his feet.

In Qiancheng Kingdom, it was shrouded in a smoky evil spirit, making it difficult to see the scenery clearly.

But that couldn't stop his gaze.

"What a fierce bear."

He took half a step forward, fell down as if his body was weightless, and stepped on the drum.

Song Changgeng was struggling to support himself when he suddenly heard a roar.

Eighteen broken drums stacked together and descended from the sky.

That earth fairy-like bear monster, as if hit by the sun's divine light, its entire torso was burned instantly, leaving only ashes floating around.

There was only one bear paw left, which was stretched out horizontally and was pressed in the air, but it lost its mana support and quickly rolled down.

An absurd idea popped up in Song Changgeng's mind.

'Why is the bombed drum more powerful than this one that hasn't been bombed? '

But he reacted immediately and saw the figure standing on the eighteen drums clearly.

Guan Luoyang looked at the city, and saw monster fog everywhere, and monsters appeared in the fog.

"I came here as a clone and didn't bring anything."

Guan Luoyang turned his head and looked, "Let me borrow your drum."

The good drum hanging in mid-air expanded uncontrollably and turned into a big drum that was half as tall as a man.

Guan Luoyang swung his arm and hit the drum with the back of his hand. The sound of the drum swayed across the city, breaking through the demon fog.

The hearts of most of the monsters in the city were suddenly aroused by the sound of drums, and jumped out of their chests, bringing up a large fountain of blood, and then the corpses fell down.
