Fu Shifeng

Chapter 39
The sun was setting to the west, and a sunset glow stretched from the horizon. Several garrison soldiers listened to the sound of Tianchi waves in the distance, and yawned.

After An Quti's death, Tianchi, a blessed place, was naturally valued by the Duhufu.In order to prevent it from being stolen again by evil spirits in the future, the chief guard of Qi ordered to build a camp near Tianchi Lake, and sent another team to garrison here for other arrangements in the future.

However, Tianchi is located in a deep mountain, and there are no residential towns nearby. In addition, the wind is strong day and night, and the bitter cold is comparable to that of guarding the frontier desolate flint fortress. Whoever is on duty will feel miserable.The sergeants can only hope to get over it as soon as possible, waiting for the next group of unlucky ones to come to rotate.

The sergeants chatted one after another to relieve boredom. It was completely dark and the stars were shining in the night sky. They couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.As for the night patrol that should have been there, without the supervision of the chief, it is useless.

Even if there were some monsters and ghosts staring at this place, the sergeants didn't think they could deal with it. If so, they might as well go to bed early.Keep your spirits up, and you will continue to build the unfinished camp tomorrow during the day.

As gusts of wind blew through the camp, an erratic figure appeared, it was a woman with long hair like a waterfall, she was wearing a dark blue wide-sleeved skirt, with a slender waist and a slightly open skirt, snow-white shoulders and The clavicle is exposed, the fertile snow is full, and a line of gully is squeezed out, making the jade bone more fairy-like.

However, other than that, the woman's delicate face, which looked like a porcelain doll, was so indifferent that there was no trace of life, which made people shudder.What was even more frightening was that the woman's skirt was swaying, her feet were not visible, and her figure was floating a foot above the ground. Anyone who saw her thought she was a female ghost.

The woman was holding a lantern, and the candlelight inside gave off a dark green light, and the place where the light shone, the breath became colder.Even the fire in the camp was illuminated by the dim light, making crackling noises, and suddenly turned into a green will-o'-the-wisp on the grave.

Fortunately, all the soldiers in the camp are sound asleep at the moment, if anyone sees this green lantern woman floating away from the ground, they will be so frightened that their hearts clenched tightly and they will pass out before they have time to think about it.

The green lantern woman just shook the lantern in her hand lightly, did not do anything to the soldiers in the camp, and then drifted towards the Jingu on the bank of Tianchi.

This shrine, which was dug and expanded from the original mountainside cave, cannot be easily destroyed by external force. In order to prevent evil spirits from occupying it as a lair, Qi Dadu ordered to block the palace gate with nearby earth and rocks, and ordered the magician to seal it.Mysterious talismans written in cinnabar ink are densely packed on the rock wall of the steps outside the gate of the shrine, and there are several wooden plaques hanging from the nails on the rock wall.

The Qingdeng woman seemed to be a bit jealous of these cinnabar talismans, and she paused in front of the door and did nothing.

"This is the evil spirit enchantment of Xuandu Temple. If you forcefully break into it, I'm afraid you won't be able to please it."

Suddenly a man's voice came from far away, although it was not loud, it was like talking face to face.The girl in Qingdeng turned around and looked, and saw a person walking on the Tianchi Lake with his hands behind his back. The water surface under him was as flat as a mirror, with no waves, just like walking on flat ground.

The visitor was wearing a gown with narrow sleeves, which was probably the clothing of an ordinary Confucian scholar, but the cuffs and collar could be seen to be worn by washing for a long time, like those poor scholars whose family was in decline and depressed.

However, this poor scholar is wearing a camphor wood Nuo mask to cover up his true appearance.Nuo's face is not the ferocious look of green face and fangs, but the face of an old man laughing. All the elders in the village see the addition of children at home, and their smiles are simple, but with a bit of rural ignorance.

"Taoist spells are good at exorcising evil spirits. The inner secret text of the Three Emperors handed down by Xuandu Temple is used to deal with ghosts and spirits, and its power is even more powerful." The surface of the water rose again.

The girl in Qingdeng was still indifferent, not showing any interest in replying to Nuo Mian Qiongru's words.

"Almost forgot, you don't like to talk." Nuo Mian Poor Confucianism came to the gate of the shrine blocked by gravel, glanced at the cinnabar talisman seals, and said to himself: "Collection of pens and letters, these are not true ones." Written characters? It seems that Xuanduguan has made some progress over the years...Bei Chen is fixed but the handle is turning, Huang Chi Sanchen... Hey, it's more difficult than I expected."

Nuo Mian Poor Confucianism seemed to find it difficult to decipher, and looked back at the Qingdeng woman: "Frankly speaking, I don't know much about Taoist spells, why don't I leave for a while and go to Hong Ya for help?"

The green lantern girl didn't say a word, she just shook the blue lantern lightly in her hand, and several phosphorous fires flew out, turning into butterflies and fluttering their wings.However, when the Phosphorous Fire Ghost Butterfly approached the gate of the Jingu two feet away, it was immediately blocked by an invisible barrier, as if a ball of fire fell into a lake, a few wisps of smoke were stirred up, and then extinguished.

However, the talisman outside the door was stimulated by the phosphorus fire ghost butterfly, and there was a burst of light. end shot.

The stellar energy condensed into a needle light, nailing several key points of the talisman outside the door with precision, the light ripples immediately dimmed, and the operation of the barrier also came to a standstill.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not the overwhelming enchantment like Antty's, I can still suppress it for a moment with my ability."

The moment Nuo Mian Qiongru made a move, his aura suddenly became unpredictable, but when he lowered his hands, he turned back to a cynical look.Seeing that the Qingdeng woman didn't even bother to look at him, he had no choice but to sigh, raised his hand again to activate his energy, and slowly moved away the rock that blocked the gate of the shrine.

For those who practice martial arts, the internal strength is concentrated and the strong energy is released, and they are already among the ranks of masters in the world. This is the realm of integrating martial arts with their own body and mind.At this level, many martial arts practitioners were stopped.

Although going further up, how to use the stellar energy can also generate various supernatural abilities, but they are nothing more than sending out to defend against enemies, inner protection of the body, and wandering through hundreds of veins.

However, like this poor Confucian with a Nuo face, it is almost a supernatural power to shoot objects from the air by relying on the stellar energy. When the warriors in the world witness this scene, the higher the realm, the more shocking they will be.

What is even more miraculous is that the large piece of earth and rock captured by the awe-inspiring qi did not show signs of collapse, not even a speck of dust, just like a hill being lifted and moved by a god-man, causing the shrine to collapse. The door reveals a gap for entry and exit.

The earth and stone landed safely, Nuo Mian Qiongru heaved a sigh of relief, as if out of intention to show off, he said to the girl in Qingdeng, "I'm not trying to show off, after all, we can't let outsiders notice our actions. If there are no others, I will do it directly 'Jiuchou Yiguan', promise to smash this pile of earth and rocks into powder!"

The ability that makes warriors in the world hard to come by, seems to be done by hand in the mouth of Nuo Mian Poor Confucianism, but the Qingdeng girl never showed a look, neither envious nor curious, nor disgusted, she was like a ray of light wandering in the world. The phantom floated into the shrine.

Nuo Mian Qiongru spread his hands, laughed at himself and shook his head, and had no choice but to follow the Qingdeng woman into the shrine.

The construction of the shrine's mountain is not only done by ordinary craftsmen. The poor Confucianist with Nuo face raised his hand and passed the wall, feeling the straight touch, and said:
"It's hard to say anything about Ankyatti. He is good at digging mountains, digging rocks, and building houses. I once heard him mention his hometown, Wusili Kingdom, saying that there are tombs of ancient kings in the desert. The mountain is a mausoleum, which is like the mausoleum of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

"The difference is that the tombs of the kings in the Nabesli Kingdom are built with countless huge stones. It is said that the tallest one reaches more than fifty feet. There are many strange stone sculptures with sphinxes, dog heads and human bodies around them, just like the tombs of emperors. The statues on both sides of Shinto presumably also have the effect of exorcising evil spirits.

"However, the ancient kings of the Besli Kingdom, like some Central Plains emperors, were greedy for the art of longevity. The mausoleum built with huge stones is like the old Central Plains' yellow intestines and jade clothes. First, death is like life, and secondly, the emperors believed that this method can make the soul ascend to the gods and become the real house.

"Later, this kind of funeral knowledge evolved into the method of dissolving corpses into immortals in Taoism. In the early years, some Taoist coffins were dug up and opened, and it was found that there was nothing inside, or only shoes and bamboo sticks... Really, This is not good for Daomen, they like to play tricks."

This Nuo Mian Poor Confucianist has profound knowledge, not to mention ordinary scholars, even the Chang'an Guozijian, which gathers talents from all over the world, is afraid that everyone will be dumbfounded after listening to Nuo Mian Poor Confucianism, and few people can talk to him phase theory.

"Oh? Am I taking it too far?" The green lantern girl drifted away silently, and the Nuo-faced Qiongru followed quickly, and continued: "The tombs of the kings in the Besli Kingdom just mentioned should also be the place where they pursue longevity. It is a means of the law. After I heard what Ankati said, I didn't believe it for a while. Considering the scale of the mausoleum, the earthwork consumed is unimaginable.

"Later, I thought about it again. In the past dynasties of the Central Plains, tens of thousands of people moved earthworks to control water, build canals, prevent floods and irrigate, which is like moving mountains. The number is more than ten thousand trillion? Compared with this, the tombs of the kings in the Besli Kingdom are not counted. what.

"The original intention of this dynasty to use the mountain as a mausoleum was also to save people's labor. Otherwise, it would have exhausted many people's lives just to seal the soil and build it. I think that the construction of the tombs of the kings of the Usri Kingdom must be extremely labor-intensive. No wonder this country is full of good words and power.

"As for Ankuti, he was looking for immortals and Taoists in Shu, and even sneaked into Guyang Pingzhi. After I found out, we fought. I chased him as soon as he ran, and went around for thousands of miles. Finally I couldn't run any longer, so I sat down to chat about anecdotes.

"I found out that Antty's magic methods are endless, but the real root is manipulating the dead bodies of the dead, and it is far more advanced than those heresy magic in the Central Plains. After careful questioning, I found out that his ancestors served the ancient kingdom of Besli. The Funeral Order of Kings, although passed down to his generation, has greatly declined."

When the two came to the Hall of Mirrors, the woman with the blue lantern stopped still, the blue lantern in her hand was glowing with gloom, she gently swung her black and white sleeves, and the mysterious mana reverberated here.

"Rice and barley come with yellow beams, Huazhuo is old and there is fine wine, orchid ointment and candles are full of lights, and the soul returns and comes here..."

The Qingdeng girl finally spoke at this moment, and she sang a soul-calling poem in the ancient Chu dialect. Compared with ordinary singers, there is a clear difference.Even the original ghostly temperament has changed, like Xiaoxiang Lishu, Luoshui Shenfei,
Nuo Mian Poor Confucianism nodded, and began to compare the similarities and differences between Chu's ancient poetry and today's folk customs.

"Setting up food and wine, incense candles and lamps, it seems that there is not much difference between the ancient method of summoning souls in Chu and the thousands of years of ancestor worship rituals in the Central Plains, which shows that the origin of the two is the same."

After singing a soul-calling Fu, the dim light gradually faded, but no soul emerged.The girl in Qingdeng silently looked at the Nuo-faced Qiongru, who raised his hand and supported his jaw: "No response? Then it seems that Anguti's soul has been completely swallowed up, and there is not even a trace of remnant soul left."

"You should know what this means, right?"

Suddenly another cold voice came from outside the mirror hall, and a wooden kite flew in, circled twice around the mirror hall, and landed on a golden iron beam that had not been removed.

This wooden kite is lifelike, like a living bird, except for the pair of eyes made of danyu, which are slightly dull.

"The gluttonous nature is growing again." Nuo Mianqiongru said: "But according to the past experience, the gluttonous devoured the soul of Anqiti, so it should be able to fill his stomach for a while? After all, I proposed to win Anqiti back then. The man who entered Fu Shifeng, you all have witnessed his ability, this time the chaos in the Western Regions was caused by him alone."

"Where did you throw all the classics and history collections you have learned? Using the land to serve the Qin Dynasty and holding the salary to put out the fire will only aggravate the consequences! Don't you understand such a simple truth?" Mu Yuan immediately scolded, the cold voice coming from her cavity Mo Bian: "The Taotie is not satisfied. The more powerful Anktyti's spells and the more powerful his soul, the more the gluttony's appetite will only grow! This time I am full, whose soul will I use to fill it up next time? You ?!"

"For things like cutting meat and feeding eagles, please ask Shengdi Tanhua to do it." Nuo Mian Poor Confucianism thanked Bumin: "Buddha's blood is like fine wine, which can make Taotie drunk and deep sleep. Didn't this method make Taotie sleep last time?" Are you settled down?"

"If it is not a last resort, we will not use this method again." Mu Yuan said: "What's more, it was your proposal to transform Taotie into a human body. Fu Shifeng and everyone worked together to complete it. Now it's your turn to do something."

"Don't worry, I still don't know how An Quti died." Nuo Mian Poor Confucianism looked at the girl in Qingdeng, and he was very respectful: "I would like to ask the senior to use the magic method to reproduce the situation of that day."

The woman with the green lantern didn't say much, the blue lantern in her hand was shining brightly, and the figures in the hall of mirrors flickered back and forth. A moment later, the fierce battle at the beginning reappeared.

"This Ankyatti is actually trying to take away Taotie!" Mu Yuan sneered after reading it.

Nuo Mianqiong Confucianism said: "From this point of view, this should belong to Anqu Ti's self-defeating, and it is not the awakening of gluttonous nature."

"That Dakini Yaksha is one of the Gongchen Guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now she already knows that Cheng Sanwu devoured Ankuti's soul, and the secret of gluttony may be hard to hide." Mu Yuan reminded.

"But she didn't publicize it to the public. The public announcement of the Dadu Protectorate only said to kill the demons, and did not mention Cheng Sanwu's credit." When people come to the Western Regions, they also have other thoughts."

"You don't intend to let Taotie fall into the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, do you?" Mu Yuan dissuaded: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs serves the king, and there is no life in your heart. If you do this, it will cause disaster!"

"I don't care about the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Nuo Mian Qiongru looked at a burly phantom, and said, "The one who really deserves my attention is Cheng Sanwu. He is the key to deal with Taotie."
