One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 154 The Ancient Wizard

The city of perfection, in the storeroom,
Zeluo escorted the convoy carrying the ordnance to the door of the warehouse, and handed over to the people on the Jingjue side. In their convoy, there were not only swordsmen, but also drinks and gifts brought by Zhang Qian. They had to be counted in the warehouse first, and then they were decided to distribute them. Go down, or store it in the warehouse.

The warehouse is forbidden, and it is naturally heavily guarded, and the camp of the Jingjue Army is next to the warehouse.

The five thousand sergeants and carriages made the team like a long snake. They were busy for a long time before the entire team entered the warehouse.The people from Qiuci haven't left because they are still responsible for the work and move the weapons into the warehouse.

There is no way, the old soldiers of Jingjuecheng, at most supervising the work, how could they do the rough work of unloading.

Zeluo led his subordinates to stand under the sun for a long time, and the little official in charge of warehouse management in Jingjue City walked over slowly, pacing Fang Bu without rushing.

As soon as I arrived, there were too many people who came to Qiuci, and the place was full of sweat.

The warehouse clerk covered his nose, just glanced at the convoy brought by Zeluo, and frowned.

There was something wrong with Qiuci's motorcade. The annual tribute of Qiuci was a fixed quota, so he saw that the number was not right, it was far from the standard, otherwise it would not be so many carriages.

If only a hundred knives and a few hundred arrows were missing, he would be very happy, because then he could take the opportunity to extort a sum of money, but if the delivered ordnance was nearly [-] to [-]% less, then it would not be him. Can hold it.

The young warehouse clerk pointed at Zeluo's nose and said arrogantly, "Zero! What's the matter with you! The armament you brought is clearly far less than this year's share!"

"Do you think that the envoy you escorted the big man has done a good job, so you can reduce the annual tribute without the Queen's permission?"

The young warehouse clerk stared at Zeluo with a pair of snake eyes, scolded Zeluo beside him, and spit on him. endured.

But in today's situation, how could Luo tolerate him.

Having said that, Luo didn't yell at this little official, but smiled calmly:
"It's just right if the number is wrong, it wasn't for you in the first place."

"What! What are you talking about."

The warehouse clerk hadn't figured out the situation yet. The last impression in front of him was that Zeluo reached out and hit his head in front of his forehead, and his thoughts fell into darkness.

"Comfortable."

Looking at the warehouse clerk who rolled his eyes and fell to the ground softly without saying a word, Zeluo's expression was satisfied, just like returning home under the scorching sun in summer, after opening the refrigerator

Relying on the deterrence of Queen Jingjue, these gangsters, even those kings of the Western Regions, are not at all sympathetic to them, and they call to and fro arrogantly, pressing them with Queen Jingjue at every turn.

Zeluo hated them for a long time, so he didn't talk too much, and directly knocked a sign on the head of the warehouse official, which caused an undercurrent in his head, and rolled up a small vortex, making him The solid brain pulp becomes liquid 'soy milk'.

The alien in charge of the warehouse was easily dealt with by Zeluo, and the remaining guards would not need him.

The 5000 people in Kucha brought by Zeluo did not look good, and besides Zumureti, who was only an assistant, there were also people from the Gao family and the entourage who went to the Western Regions with Zhang Qian.

In order to lift the curse, the people of the Gao family worked hard day and night, honing their physique, and sharpening their martial arts. Although they couldn't become an alien, they could still be regarded as the best among mortals. The followers of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, apart from training Outside the well-trained Han army, there are some rangers in Chang'an who Zhang Qian himself recruited and who are somewhat confident in their own skills.

These people put together a group, and they are simply overkill to deal with some of the army soldiers, and they have hardly encountered any decent resistance.

The only thing to worry about is to be careful not to disturb the military camp near it, and to draw attention in advance, but there is Zeluo, and the five sounds of Qiuci directly shrouded the warehouse, and no sound can be heard.

Qiuci Wuyin·Dayin Ruoxi.

A sound-isolating wall is formed with five tones, and the sound is isolated from the sound-isolating wall. Although there is only a layer of sound barrier, it is quiet and different.

Speaking of which, the name of this trick was given to Ze Luo by Gao Gu before, otherwise Luo himself would not have such an elegant name.

Although a few Jingjue warehouse guards were lucky enough to escape, Qiuci and Gao’s family suddenly attacked, but they lost their courage and lost the weapons in their hands that seemed cumbersome when they fled, and they didn’t dare to turn their heads back to Jingjue’s barracks. run in the direction.

Gao Yue took out an arrow from the carriage and put it on the bow to aim at the back of these people.

But before the arrow in his hand could be shot, when those people were running, they suddenly fell to the ground without any warning, as if their souls had been taken away.
Zeluo was very familiar with this scene, much like an old friend's move:

"King Yanqi, is that you!?"

"Hehe, Brother Zeluo is still so strong, his five senses are sensitive, he doesn't look like an old man, his body is already groggy and can't be used much."

This person's words revealed his identity, King Yanqi.

This old man who looked old and could hardly walk was actually King Yanqi younger than Zeluo!

In Gao Gu's eyes, King Yanqi was no different from an ordinary old man in his 80s or [-]s except for his black eyes. walked in.

But in the eyes of Zeluo and Zu Mugeti, King Yanqi was haunted by a black smoke-like yin evil spirit, and the rich yin evil spirit was not inferior to Jing Jueyi. , also circling the yin spirit resentment like a snake.

Although his cultivation base was astonishing, his and Zeluo's states were completely different. A wrestler with ferocious muscles, full of vigor, who was walking like a tiger, was already gray-haired, skinny, and even his back was hunched.

Although Zeluo's Qiuci Wuyin is different from the Central Plains method, it is still the same goal in the end. .

The witchcraft referred to here does not refer to the magic of the West, but the art of witchcraft and sacrifices that have been passed down in ancient times in the East.

Wizard, in ancient times, refers to people who can communicate with the gods and spirits of heaven and earth. Witchcraft is also the predecessor of various schools of practice. It was especially popular during the Xia and Shang dynasties. It uses the innate energy in the body to communicate and utilize the vitality between heaven and earth. The sorcery that came out was domineering and violent, and it could almost be said to be able to burn mountains and boil seas.

But this kind of primitive magic has a big drawback. Witchcraft can only use the innate energy, but I don’t know how to strengthen it and nourish it. Therefore, every time a wizard uses sorcery, he is destroying himself, which is similar to Red Lotus. Ninja is very similar.

Later, some experts in Xia and Shang found a way to treat the symptoms.

Since the innate energy is used less than once, then you simply don’t need your own innate energy, and use other people’s innate energy as spellcasting materials to cast witchcraft, and some simply absorb other people’s innate energy to complement and restore their innate energy. Qi.

Therefore, in the Xia and Shang dynasties, sacrifices, especially human sacrifices, were all the rage. The nobles of Xia and Shang scrambled to sacrifice their slaves to supplement the lost innate energy and prolong life.

But the innate energy of others is not your own after all. Over time, your innate energy will be polluted, and you will become like King Yanqi, not a human being, nor a ghost.

Until Xibogai came to the throne for 50 years, and he was imprisoned,

During the long time of imprisonment, Xibohou evolved the eight trigrams of "Yi" into 64 hexagrams, and realized the way of Zhou Tianxing Qi. After the improvement of Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Taoist practice method finally came out and became popular in the world .

The sorcery, which is infinitely powerful but cannot prolong its lifespan, has since taken a back seat, and only a few people still practice it in Chu.

······
Zeluo laughed at King Yanqi: "I heard that you were punished by Queen Jingjue."

King Yanqi's shy Zhao Zeluo smiled ingratiatingly: "I can't help it, as I get old, sacrifices become more frequent, and I accidentally used some of the sacrifices prepared by Jingjue, and I couldn't get them all together. Give Jing Jue Sui Sui tribute."

The reason why King Yanqi failed to meet the number of human sacrifices that Jingjue wanted was not as noble as Hadili. He was actually like Queen Jingjue, who regarded his people as lambs and didn't care about the lives of his people at all.

However, last year, King Yanqi went wrong in his witchcraft practice and was seriously injured. In order to survive, he mutilated a large number of people and absorbed their innate energy to heal himself. number of people.

Queen Jingjue asked for half of the people this time, which has already hurt the vitality of Yanqi country, and Yanqi Wangyou is getting older and older, and more and more sacrifices will be needed to prolong his life and heal his wounds. If all people are dedicated to Jingjue Queen, does he still have the resources to practice?

So as soon as Gao Gu came to persuade him, he gritted his teeth and joined the rebellion.
