Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 52 Wanmu Mountains
Guan Luoyang pointed to the gully on the ground, and said, "This kind of trace should be obvious, didn't you follow along to chase after it?"

The giant python should have experienced a lot of hard work here, and the traces left by the galloping elephant made a lot of mess, but the last ravine still swam out of the battlefield.

General Yu looked at those traces, with horror, nervousness and anger on his face, he let out a heavy breath in his nose, and said: "The trace of the monster is broken, Daoist, come with me."

He led Guan Luoyang into the forest along this track, and when he looked up, he could vaguely see some soldiers searching around.

But this gully, about 300 steps into the forest, disappeared by a small river.

Here is another battlefield, the trees were broken, and several corpses were left on the ground, as well as some overturned large bluestones and broken swords.

General Yu said: "The traces of the monster are so far. It is obvious that it has entered the water. I sent people to check up and down the current, but there are many branches. I don't know where it will come ashore."

"There are still some small messy traces around, but they are too messy to tell which direction that nobleman will go."

In the land of Nanyang, there are too many wilderness forests. Once you leave the towns of prefectures and counties, no one knows how many rivers there will be in a forest.

General Yu hastily sent someone to ask for help from Zhenwu Temple because he understood that finding those few people in the wild forest by relying on ordinary soldiers is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Guan Luoyang stared at a tree, and stretched out his hand to caress the broken part of the tree.

The tree, about two feet in diameter, was cut off obliquely, the incision was smooth, and the annual rings inside were deep and dense.

This tree was severed by someone with a single blow. With such a master by his side, it's no wonder he was able to escape into the forest after a fierce battle.

But Guan Luoyang didn't think that the monster gave up chasing and killing this group of people.

The reason is very simple, this place is not far from the river, if they repel the python here, they can go back to the river bank and continue on their way.

But here they disappeared, fleeing into the depths of the woodland.

"It's strange. If it's for hunting, with those elephants there, the monster snake should be full. Why did it abandon those huge elephants and chase after a few people?"

Guan Luoyang looked at General Yu, "Is there anything about that nobleman that attracts boa constrictors?"

General Yu shook his head: "It's hard to say, I was just ordered to respond, and I don't know the specific situation of that nobleman. But if I say it, this snake may just be holding a grudge."

"Hold grudges?" Guan Luoyang asked a little strangely.

General Yu explained with a frown: "The legend of snakes channeling spirits and repaying kindness has been circulated in Zhongtu and Jiaozhi. Cui Wei in the Tang Dynasty is an example."

"There is also a custom here in Jiaozhi. If a snake escapes from the snake catcher, within three years, the snake catcher will go to the temple to ask for amulets, because it is not uncommon for snakes to take revenge."

"The team led by that nobleman met the snake group, and the two sides fought fiercely. Since he is the leader, it is natural for him to be hated by the monsters."

There was a commotion from the river.

Guan Luoyang, General Yu and the others walked out of the woods to see that mages had arrived one after another.

The situation is urgent, and there is no room for too many pleasantries.

The first few mages who felt it showed their strengths, some had a compass with their left hand and counted with their right hand, some let out a blood-billed bird from their sleeves, and some walked around with their hands behind their backs to survey the battlefield.

Qiu Shi and the others were young and strong, and they were also the first batch to arrive. They quietly approached Guan Luoyang, whispered a few words to each other, and then figured out what was going on.

"Unexpectedly, we have been fighting each other with the evil warlocks for a while, and what kind of Taoist and Buddha fights have been engaged in, but the evildoers have quietly become popular."

Qiu Shi sighed, "I don't know how many years this monster has practiced. I am afraid that when the earth dragon turned over, it followed the chaos of the atmosphere and the favorable time and place, and after the difficult shedding of its skin, it was just about to eat people. It’s time for a tonic.”

To ordinary boa constrictors, there is no difference between humans and beasts, but to monsters, eating humans is the most helpful for cultivation, especially eating those who are masters of boxing or mages.

Guan Luoyang said: "Don't you cast a spell to find it?"

"Can't find it."

Qiu Shi shook his head directly, pointed to his feet, and said, "Snakes and elephants are the easiest to channel spirits. So many poisonous snakes, pythons, and elephants have died here, and [-]% of the world's spells will be affected here, not to mention that The status of noble people is not ordinary, if we want to start from this place and measure their position, our group of people are not strong enough."

Guan Luoyang said: "Then Master Yanglian and Grandfather Huangtou can do it?"

"The two of them are not necessarily good at this kind of spell."

Qiu Shi looked back, "In addition to master and uncle, Taoist Zhiyuan, Master Gao Dian, and that Dao, maybe we can contribute to this matter."

The people he mentioned also came one after another.

There is a specialization in the art field, like that Da Da, who is flattering, flatters Wei Dinggong, and is not even qualified to fight for orders.

But his spells are indeed unique. He has trained a spiritual nose, which is good at smelling the whereabouts of ghosts, and he can also catch wind and smell, and track them for hundreds of miles.

I saw Da Da grabbing the wind in handfuls and sending it to the front of the nose, chanting words indistinctly.

Taoist Zhiyuan brought an incense burner, a yellow talisman, and a wooden sword. In this practice, he asked ghosts and gods.

Master Gao Dian went to General Yu, and after inquiring about the noble man in various ways, he first bowed to the elephant corpses twice, then sat on an elephant, and put the staff wrapped in linen in front of his knees. , meditating in silence.

From day to noon, the sun shines on the river bank.

The blood all over the ground soaked in the soil. After being exposed to the sun, more fishy smell evaporated, and the color gradually became lighter, so that the red between the soil could be seen more clearly.

Guan Luoyang waited quietly, looked up at the sun, the warmth of his body was still nourishing the bones, the blue bird vitality was now hanging down around the spine, and coiled along the ribs to the front of the body, the bones of the upper body felt tempered, Just be more obvious.

He blinked his eyes facing the sun suddenly, felt something, and tried to lift his left hand up.

If Qiu Shi felt something, he turned his head and looked a little dazzled, feeling that Guan Luoyang's body was floating for a moment just now.

It was as if he lost most of his weight at that moment and was almost blown by the wind.

Just at this moment, there was a sound of surprise from Taoist Zhiyuan, which attracted everyone's attention.

He slapped his sword on the incense burner.

"There are other people who are calculating the direction, all of which are evil ways, and they are incompatible with us and interfere with us."

………………

Outside the jungle, Hanami in a brown dress, surrounded by many figures, opened her eyes.

The calculations and collisions of the two forces have completely disrupted the air mechanism, and they can only grasp the vague answers they finally obtained.

"The answers they got should be the same as ours, five general directions, five areas..."

Old eunuch Chen said the result, "I'm afraid King Yue and the others are still moving. After today, all these answers will be wrong. Let's leave immediately."

Hanami asked, "Are you really going to follow?"

"Heh, didn't Master Ma say that we need to use as much strength as we want? Our family thinks that we still have some skills."

The old eunuch Chen smiled, "Besides, you may have only heard of King Yue. When our family was active in Jiangnan a few years ago, we have personally experienced how difficult he is. If there is a chance to kill him personally, we will miss it. Do you have to regret it for the rest of your life?"

　It was supposed to be updated after it was put on the shelves, but today, my friend Wang Ha successfully completed the operation. In order to celebrate his safety in the future, I will update [-] words!
　　In addition, I just want to count the votes, ask for some rewards, thank you everyone!
