Fu Shifeng

Chapter 159 Black Mountain Deer Crown
Dark clouds, thunder bursts, the wind swept the forest above Taihang Mountain, the vegetation swayed, and the birds and beasts trembled.

At this time, I saw five masters rushing with lightness kung fu, the leader was wearing a cloak, and the wide-sleeved gown under the cloak could be vaguely seen.

The other four have round collars with arrow sleeves and feather ornaments on their waists. In addition to horizontal knives, bows and arrows, they also have a short-handled iron bone that is specially used to deal with armor. This is a battle weapon, which is rare in martial arts.

The five people were running along the rugged and steep mountain road, when suddenly there was a thunderstorm from the sky, and the lightning hit a strange rock peak in the distance, causing the mountain to tremble and the rocks to shoot out.

When the cloaked man heard the thunder, his heart was shocked, his feet went limp, and he fell and rolled over.Seeing this, the four attendants exclaimed and chased after them.

Fortunately, the cloaked man stabilized his figure quickly, plowed a shallow furrow with his feet firmly on the ground, and slowed down the rolling momentum.

"General!" The four attendants hurried forward to help the cloaked man up without delay asking, "Run! That old monster is about to catch up!"

The cloaked man glanced around and saw a low building at the foot of the mountain below, which should be a temple: "Let's go there to hide!"

"General, it will be bad if your whereabouts are revealed!" A follower hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

The cloaked man scolded angrily: "What do you know? That old monster is best at hunting in the mountains and forests. How can we escape with two legs? The Taoist temples in the Central Plains have always been full of high-level people, maybe they can even seek asylum!"

After all, there was another thunderclap, and the naked eye could see the dazzling lightning strike somewhere deep in the mountain forest. The hairs of the five people were all standing on end when they saw it, and the followers dared not make any further objections, and rushed down the mountain protecting the cloaked man.

The five people ran away with all their strength and desperately.Hearing the sound of thunder approaching from behind, like the sound of a death bell, my heart beat faster than the beating drum in the school field.

When the five people came to the temple at the foot of the mountain, they climbed over the wall without saying a word and rushed into a hall like headless chickens. Seeing that there was no one around, they stopped, gasped, and sat down leaning against the wall.

The cloaked man was sweating profusely from running. He took off his hood, revealing a broad face with small eyes and a bushy beard. Although he was not heroic, he was bold and cunning. Even in a difficult situation, he still did not forget to turn Those small eyes, pay attention to the surrounding situation.

The main hall where the five people lived enshrined a statue of a god. The cloaked man carefully checked his surroundings and made sure that there were no other people. He went around to the front of the altar and saw a statue of a goddess with a high bun and wide sleeves. He raised his hand and held a piece of cloth. It says "the position of Xiancanshi".

"Oh, it turned out to be Empress Silkworm! Disrespect and disrespect!" Seeing the statue of the goddess, the cloaked guest bowed respectfully for a few times, and whispered in his mouth: "The boy is at the end of his life. He was killed by his brother, so he had no choice but to flee here. Today There is an evil witch from far away, who intends to commit murder, and asks the empress silkworm to use her divine power to protect the boy. In the future, she will make a golden body and wear silk for the empress silkworm."

The four attendants were speechless when they saw their general acting like this, they were in a precarious situation, life and death were at stake, and they still counted on the gods to rescue them.If the gods are useful, why are they in such a mess?
I don't know if the Goddess of Silkworm really appeared. The thunderstorm in the mountains that was chasing the cloaked man suddenly stopped. The cloaked man was the first to react and raised his hand to indicate:

"No movement?"

The entourage came to the door of the main hall, looked out, looked at the cloudy sky, and suddenly saw a cloud of black clouds passing by high above, they were so scared that they quickly took the cloaked man to hide in the corner of the hall.

"Oh, that old monster is here again!" The attendants turned pale with fright, and one of them made up his mind, and immediately said to the cloaked man: "General, let's exchange clothes, and I will lure that old monster to another place, and you Hide here for a while!"

The man in the cloak thought of those guards on the left and right who tried to stop the old monster before, each of them died in a miserable state. He was terrified and couldn't bear it, but in order to save his life, he had no choice but to do so.

"Dingzhou is a big silk county in Hebei Province. Why is this Xiansi Temple so deserted? There isn't even one offering incense."

At this time, a man's voice suddenly came from outside, without any warning, as if it appeared out of thin air, the five people in the hall were startled, and they hurriedly hid behind the statue, holding their breath and concentrating.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Now that there is a famine in Hebei, who will come to worship the silkworm god? Silk can't be eaten." At this time, another voice came from outside the hall, indistinguishable from male and female, and strange. Angry, full of sarcasm.

"There is some truth to this." The man's voice echoed in the hall, and he had already crossed the threshold.His voice was obviously not that of a young man, but his tone was a bit mischievous. Although he didn't see his true face, he could imagine a curious expression of looking around.

"You came here specially for the Silkworm Temple. Could it be that you found some clues?" The indistinguishable man asked, "Don't tell me, because they are all bugs, so the two are related. Silkworms and locusts are related." It's totally two different things."

"It's definitely not the same thing." The man smiled lightly, as if his eyebrows were dancing: "I think, if you want to make such a big battle, there must be a pivot to start it? After thinking about it, either it is on the ground The place where Qi rises, or the mandala that has been incensed for a long time."

"It's a pity that you have visited more than a dozen temples and shrines along the way, but nothing seems to be fruitful."

"It's not that there are no results. Haven't you seen many local community decrees and local gods ordering clouds to spread rain recently?" The man said, "So I plan to ask them for news, and at least find out if there are any forests near Dingzhou. What a strange movement."

"Didn't realize that you can still summon ghosts and gods?" Another person asked: "Don't you Confucian scholars always respect ghosts and gods?"

"The sages also said that respecting the gods is like a god." The man replied, "But I really don't have much hope. After all, most of the real masters can avoid the prying eyes of ghosts and gods. Let's see how much we can ask."

The cloaked man hid behind the statue, and was even more surprised when he heard the conversation between the two.At first I thought they were just ordinary pilgrims, but listening to what they said, they were absolutely extraordinary.

Just when the cloaked man was worried that he would be noticed, a strong wind suddenly blew into the hall, and the man heard a soft voice: "Huh? A master is here."

"It doesn't feel like a bad idea," said another.

The cloaked man's heart tightened when he heard the words, and he quickly signaled his left and right attendants to cover their mouths and noses and refrain from making a sound.

……

The person standing in front of the statue of Xiancan was none other than Master Wen, and the wooden kite landed on his shoulder, talking with each other.If other people didn't see it with their own eyes, they really thought there were two people at the scene.

At this moment Master Wen turned to look outside the hall, and saw a figure descending from the sky, wearing a kingfisher feather robe and a crown of elk antlers, who landed and appeared with the strong wind sweeping around, almost blowing the roof tiles away.

However, such a strong wind poured into the hall, but it could only blow Master Wen's white cloth slowly, as if he was in the gentle breeze.

"Ouch! Your Excellency's attire is really rare." Master Wen looked at the man outside the hall: "Seeing this feather coat, I thought it was some Taoist real person who admired the ancient style. But with this big antler crown, it's more beautiful." Confused me a bit.

"It is said that when Xianbei dominated the Central Plains, the noblewomen of the clan liked to wear antler crowns. Later, Xianbei imitated the customs of the Han family and made antlers from gold pearls and jade, embellished with gold leaves, very luxurious. Today a See, it gives me some proof."

"You are very powerful." The deer crown witch's face was covered by bone armor, and his voice was hoarse and low: "I have seen many Central Plains masters, and you are the most unfathomable."

"Oh? I'm really flattered to be commended by Your Excellency." Master Wen raised his hand and twisted his beard, his chin slightly lifted, as if quite proud.

The wooden kite on his shoulder froze and didn't make a sound, not knowing what to think.

As for the man in the cloak behind the statue, his mood is like a boat heaving and falling among the waves of the sea.The arrival of the great witch with the deer crown first made him so nervous that he almost fainted, but the appearance of Master Wen made him see a glimmer of hope.

The cloaker knew very well how powerful the great witch with the deer crown was, and he was known as the ancestor of the witches from all tribes of the Eastern Hu.Whether it is Khitan, Xiren, or Mohe, Shiwei, whenever encountering ghosts and gods within the tribe, they must rely on these shamans and witches.

The tribes of the Eastern Hu do not have sects, and shamans and witches do not have any serious inheritance.If you have to describe it in the terms of the Central Plains, then this great witch with a deer crown can be regarded as the ancestor of the contemporary Donghu witches, so that many shamans and witches have imitated him wearing an antler crown, claiming that this move can better sense The spirit of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers.

The age of the Deer Crown Witch is unknown, even the oldest old man in the tribe said that he had seen him when he was young.

As for the origin of the Deer Crown Witch, various rumors are even more bizarre.It is said that he is a great spirit transformed from white mountains and black waters, and walks in the world under the guise of a human body; it is also said that he guards the tombs of the Donghu tribes, and can awaken the spirits of the ancestors to protect the descendants, and so on.

Cloaker himself was sent to Daxia in his early years, staying in the court and serving as a guard. He has seen with his own eyes how prosperous and powerful Daxia is. He is deeply influenced by the Han style of the Central Plains. With the strong and earthy smell of Rongdi on his body, he wished to completely get rid of his Donghu background and sing poems with literati and refined scholars.

This kind of experience naturally made the cloaker dislike Donghu Wuji.In his eyes, how can this kind of people with hair and horns compare to those Taoist masters in Chang'an who are dressed in blue and purple and chant Huangting?
"I don't know what your Excellency is doing in the Central Plains." Master Wen hurriedly added with a smile: "Of course, I am not a guard officer, and I have no right to inspect the pass. I just asked this casually."

"I'm looking for someone." The great witch with the crown said bluntly: "There are five people in a group, each holding a bow and knife. The leader is detailed and broad-faced. I wonder if you have seen it?"

When the cloaked man heard this, his heart was in his throat, and he even planned to kill himself quickly, so as not to suffer more unnecessary suffering in the future.

"No." Master Wen replied bluntly, "I have never seen the people you mentioned."

"Really?" The great witch with the deer crown was silent for a moment, then raised his foot and took a step, as if sensing something, then retracted his steps, and said: "I want to enter the temple to search, please get out of the way."

The Great Witch with the Deer Crown obviously seldom used this kind of negotiating tone to talk to others, and there was no respect in his words. This was neither giving orders from a superior, nor was he giving orders to avoid them based on his strength, but he seemed to take everything for granted.

"I still want to pay homage to Empress Silkworm, so I can't leave." Master Wen said with a full face of reluctance.

The great witch with the deer crown didn't intend to continue to ask, but saw him raise his hands slightly, and the wind howled all around, slowly supporting his figure, and thunder bursts came from the dark clouds in the sky. Chained.Once the restraint is released, the majestic power of the sky will pour out instantly.

"It seems that you are quite good at spells such as Yufeng Summoning Thunder." Master Wen was a little surprised, and at the same time made his own judgment: "But this is not to match the yin and yang, but to expose the violent and primitive corner of the world. Letting its power pour out into the world is like walking on the precipice between sobriety and drowsiness, which is extremely dangerous."

While Wen Master was speaking, the great deer-crowned witch exuded an ancient aura, as if the prehistoric world was not far away, and the mountains and rivers had just been settled. He raised his hand and pointed to the sky, and the pale lightning struck down fiercely with the terrifying force of tearing the earth!

The play of Bai Lei's strong light is enough to blind the eyes of ordinary people in an instant, and the wooden kite can't control it, so it flaps its wings suddenly.

But Master Wen turned a blind eye to him, and didn't see him making any movements. The clothes that were blown by the strong wind suddenly became calm, the dust and fallen leaves flying outside the hall were frozen in mid-air, and the wooden kite also stood still.

And the pale lightning that was as thick as a bucket slowed down suddenly, like a crooked, continuously extending tree branch, the surrounding branches diverged, and the writhing lightning tip slowly approached Master Wen.

Before the pale thunder light touched Master Wen, there were traces of electric arcs moving uncomfortably around his body, as if there were countless subtle energies resonating with thunder and lightning in the air.

"Frankly speaking, it's not the first time I've been struck by lightning." Master Wen looked at the great witch with the deer crown standing in the air, raising his finger to the sky but motionless, and said with a smile, "Forget it, you can't hear it anyway."

Facing the pale thunderbolt that was as slow as an earthworm wriggling, Master Wen raised one palm, bent his five fingers slightly, and directly took the entire thunderbolt into his palm.

Under the skin of the palm, traces of electric light could be vaguely seen, like water overflowing, the entire palm and half of the forearm shone with lightning.

The stagnant situation returned to normal in an instant, the wooden kite had just fluttered past Master Wen's ears, and the strong wind swirled under the stag-crowned witch. At this moment, the sound of thunder came to everyone's ears, and there was no lightning in sight except for an afterglow. .

Only the white thunder in the master's palm is like blazing.

The deer-crown witch was shocked suddenly. He seemed to be vaguely aware of the abnormality just now. Before he could think about it, Master Wen said mischievously, "This is a skill I learned from a powerful enemy. Why don't you try it?" try?"

As soon as the words fell, I heard that the master's figure flickered, and he was already in front of the Deer Crown Witch. With fingers together, he punched straight out, and all the power of white thunder pressed on the Deer Crown Witch's chest.

Rumbling--

There was a sound of thunder on the ground, and the great witch with the deer crown was blown hundreds of meters away with a punch, and his figure turned into a small black spot in an instant.
