Chapter 539 You hold me, let's ride the dog together? (Woooo...)

The sound of the drum clearly came from within the giant cauldron.

In this forbidden place, Jiang Yao was seriously injured and suddenly fell from the five-sided giant cauldron that was more than four feet high!

"Wow!" Xiao Hei jumped up and gently took the ginger medicine in his mouth.

Most of the attacks of the magic weapon of the Way of Sound are targeted and do not attack everyone who hears the sound. Otherwise, it will be an indiscriminate attack regardless of the target.

Therefore, when Jiang Yao was attacked by the magic weapon of the Way of Sound, although Xiao Hei and Xuan Miao nearby also heard the sound of the drum, they were not attacked.

The sound of the drum seemed to just concentrate on killing the ginger medicine.

It was too late, then it was too soon. Xiao Hei put down the ginger medicine, barked and turned into an afterimage, whipped up a gust of demonic wind, leaped into the air with a roar, and threw himself into the giant cauldron.

To be honest, in this forbidden law desert, Xiao Hei really deserves the name of a dog guard and is fully worthy of the fifth-grade salary.

"Pfft—" Jiang Yao spurted out a large mouthful of blood again, and his soul was about to escape from his body.

What a powerful sound attack!

Compared with martial arts, medicine, array, talismans, etc., the way of sound is much less popular, and very few people can practice it, even less than the way of soul.

Because of this, it is more difficult to defend against Sound Path attacks.

Otherwise, the ginger medicine would be almost wiped out.

"Jiang Yao!" Xuanmiao rushed over, "Is your soul seriously injured?"

The little Taoist nun's clear eyes were full of care and worry, and it didn't look like she was pretending.

Jiang Yao's face was pale and his breath was messy. He held Xuan Miao's shoulders shaky and nodded laboriously.

At this moment, his spiritual platform was in excruciating pain. If it weren't for the protection of the Heart Lamp of the Perfect Realm, he might have become an idiot even if he didn't die.

Although he is seriously injured now, he is already very lucky

The drum sound that attacks me is not only insidious, but also very powerful.

Jiang Yao had previously taken a number of commonly used elixirs from the ring and put them in his pocket, including elixirs for treating attacks caused by the Way of Sound.

Fortunately, this man has always been cautious and meticulous, and even prepared elixirs to treat injuries caused by the Way of Sound.

After taking the elixir, Jiang Yao felt much better. But recovery will not be a temporary success.

"Wow!" Xiao Hei's roar came from the giant cauldron.

"Woof woof!"

The huge cauldron buzzed with the roar of angry dogs, accompanied by the sound of sharp claws breaking through the air and an indescribable sound.

It was obvious that Xiao Hei was fighting fiercely with someone in the giant cauldron.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yao was seriously injured and was unable to climb up the giant cauldron. Xuan Miao was practicing Taoism, so his strength was low at this time, and he could not help Xiao Hei in the fight.

The two of them could only listen nervously to the fighting in the giant cauldron, with their hearts in their throats.

"Jiang Yao, what did you see inside before?" Xuanmiao couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't see clearly. It was very dark in the cauldron."

He really didn't see clearly, he only saw the Explosive Immortal Pearl. Because the Explosive Immortal Pearl has the brilliance of stars, it can be seen at a glance in the dim cauldron.

"Woof woof!" Xiao Hei's barking was like a roar, the sound of his sharp claws breaking through the air was as shrill as a howl, and he was still panting violently.

The violent demonic energy overflowed from the giant cauldron.

Jiang Yao's worried look seemed to overflow his facial features.

Although the two of them couldn't see the situation in the cauldron, they still didn't understand that Xiao Hei was already fighting with all his strength at this time?

"Dong -" Suddenly, a drum sound finally came from the cauldron again, with an ancient and stunning sound, which made people's minds twist.

However, the target of the drum attack this time was not Jiang Yao, let alone Xuan Miao, but Xiao Hei in the cauldron.

So the two of them just felt uncomfortable, but were not injured again.

But Xiao Hei in the cauldron roared angrily, and heard a "peng" sound, as if Xiao Hei flew out and hit the wall of the cauldron.

The huge impact caused the five-sided tripod, which was more than four feet high, to shake.

"Wow-" Xiao Hei roared in pain.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of sharp claws breaking through the air suddenly started again, and the powerful demonic aura carried the smell of blood.

Without even looking at it, Jiang Yao knew that Xiao Hei was already burning his essence and blood in the fight. Xiao Hei's character in hunting has always been to fight to the death, to advance without retreating. This was the case when he was just a mortal dog.

Jiang Yao was nervous and sweating profusely.

"Ah Jiu." Jiang Yao struggled and waved his sleeves, signaling Ah Jiu to climb in and help Xiao Hei.

This is actually a more dangerous decision.

Because Ah Jiu is now a little snake and cannot transform. Although it is a Mahayana cultivation base, its strength at this time is far inferior to Xiao Hei.

In this forbidden place, except for the poison, her strength is really average. Once she enters, she may encounter unexpected events.

Because she relies on blood and innate magical powers, which is different from Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei is a mortal beast that has been forcibly upgraded by various treasures. He has neither noble blood nor innate magical powers, but he has just created a powerful demonic force.

With the demonic brute force fed by various treasures, Xiao Hei became a powerful man in the Forbidden Desert.

Ah Jiu quietly climbed onto the giant cauldron, but before he entered, he heard Xiao Hei let out an excited roar.

"Woof woof! Woof!!"

Although the barking sound was a bit weak, it still had an air of arrogance and arrogance.

That clearly means: I won!

Jiang Yao suddenly looked happy.

Blackie wins!

Sure enough, in the next moment, he saw a black shadow flicker, and Xiao Hei flew out of the giant cauldron, holding a big gray drum in his mouth.

The little black monster was a little messy, and his legs were weak. It was obvious that he was seriously injured and had consumed a lot of energy.

On the big drum, facial features and limbs had grown out, but now they were bitten off by Xiao Hei, and the wounds were emitting gray smoke and gradually disappearing.

It turns out that this big drum already had a strange physical body, but it was torn apart by Xiao Hei.

It was this drum monster who used the magical power of the Way of Sound to sneak attack Jiang Yao and almost kill His Highness Prince Ming.

But the first thing Jiang Yao saw was not the drum monster, but the big drum itself.

Isn't this the Chinese army war drum "Xi Ji Wu Wang" from the Kansai camp?

Jiang Yao immediately recognized that this was King Xijinwu who was in charge of the refining by Chu Taizong Panji!

Panji, Taizong of Chu, was Panlongshu's cousin and enemy in Haihualu's previous life.

This man was a supreme genius in the art of music, and was known as the Great Chu Music Emperor. Historically, Chu Taizong was a great man who was both talented and strategic, and also full of mystery.

He left many unofficial legends to later generations. He was the immortal emperor with the most unofficial legends and the weirdest since the Chu, Sui, and Tang dynasties. He even left behind the title of "The Weird Emperor".

Chu Taizong personally participated in refining the six-sided war drum magic weapon to replace the previous war drum magic weapon.

The army of the ancient immortal dynasty was composed of at least four forces in the battlefield:

One is the formation area where the military formation is generated;

The second is the military domain where the soldiers’ morale and combat power are condensed;

The third is the beast realm where war horses and mounts condense;

The fourth is the condensed sound range of war drums and military music.

At least it is composed of these four legal domains. The powerful battle domain also needs to bless the poison domain, cold domain, fire domain, water domain and other large domains.

But today's true army only has the formation domain, the military domain, the beast domain, and at most the poison domain, and there is no sound domain at all.

But in the ancient army, the vocal range was actually an important part of the battle domain.

After Emperor Taizong of the Chu Dynasty seized Pan Longshu's throne, he organized the refining of six top-notch war drum magic weapons, and named them Gong Jiwu King, Jing Jiwu King, Dong Jiwu King, Nan Jiwu King, West Jiwu King, and Bei Jiwu King.

It is said that many strange things happened in the Chu Palace when refining the six-sided war drum.

After the six-sided drum was refined, it was given to the four camps of the Royal Guards, the Beijing Camp, and the Forbidden Army.

After three generations, it was passed down to the Tang Dynasty.

Among them, the war drum given to the Kansai camp was this King Xi Jinwu.

How important is King Wu of Xijin? In the Kansai camp, together with the handsome seal, it is called "yingu", with the military talisman, it is called "fugu", and with the handsome flag, it is called "flag and drum".

After replacing the war drums, the battlefield power of each major battalion increased by 10%!

Because the six-sided drum was made by Chu Taizong himself, it was a very famous project at the time and was known as the "Taizong Six-sided Drum" in history.

The refining method and refining materials of Taizong Liuji are very mysterious and represent the highest level of magic weapon refining at that time.

Legend has it that Taizong's six drums were made of human skin, and a human heart was hidden in the drum. Each drum used a piece of human skin and a human heart.

Isn't this nonsense?

Of course, no one believes such a ridiculous legend. Because it is hard to believe that human skin can last for so many thousands of years.

And I have never heard that refining war drums also requires a heart.

However, Taizong Liuji was an important treasure that the Emperor personally presided over and refining, and was given to the six most trusted commanders. It has always been an important weapon in the army that is not shown to others.

Casual people have no chance to see it, let alone study it, let alone break open the drum to inspect it.

As former immortal emperors, Yang Xuanming and Li Sui had both seen the six-sided drum and studied why it could be used for so many years without breaking.

However, the level of the drum is extremely high, and the drum must be broken open to study it clearly. This means that the treasure may be destroyed.

Once a treasure is destroyed, it may not be possible to refine it again.

Jiang Shu, the only great immortal of the Nine Paths at that time, also deduced that one should not study the drum, lest the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, no one actually knows what materials were used to refine the six-sided drum during the Panji Festival held by Emperor Taizong of Chu that year, and what method was used.

Now, Jiang Yao once again saw one of them, King Xi Jinwu, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

Very uncomfortable feeling.

At this moment, the big drum's facial features and limbs have completely disappeared, the consciousness of the tool spirit has been erased, and only the big drum remains.

After the weapon spirit was killed by Xiao Hei, the object took on the appearance of King Wu of Xiji again.

On the outside of this big drum, there are immortal materials that shield the immortal pupils of divine consciousness, and there are dense Tao pattern restrictions that seal the materials inside.

Sure enough, unless the Dao pattern on the outside of the drum is broken, it is impossible to study the drum.

"This drum is so strange." Xuan Miao frowned slightly, "Jiang Yao, why do I feel a little uncomfortable when I see this drum?"

Although the ginger medicine also makes me feel uncomfortable, I feel more happy!

This is an unexpected discovery.

Take this drum back and use it as the central war drum of the Ming army. It can increase the combat power of the army by at least 10%!

This is a magic weapon of the Way of Sound that can strengthen the battlefield. It can even deter the enemy's murderous intent and weaken the enemy's battlefield.

"Xiao Hei, how are you?" Jiang Yao looked at Xiao Hei with concern and ignored Min Gu.

The man stroked the furry dog's head affectionately, "Why are you working so hard?"

After saying that, he took out a handful of pills and fed them to Xiao Hei.

"Xiao Hei, you are my earliest Yuan Cong, so you should take it easy." Jiang Yao finally admitted in person that Xiao Hei was my earliest Yuan Cong. "After I return, I will promote you to the fourth rank and become the Tongzhou Shepherd."

When Xiao Hei heard this, his tail waggled into an afterimage, his mouth was whimpering, and his eyes were red with emotion.

After taking the healing elixir, its momentum immediately began to recover.

Soon, dozens of explosive fairy beads were found from the giant cauldron. Unfortunately, most of them were decayed.

Incorruptible, there are only three.

Even these three Explosive Immortal Pearls have not been refined yet. They still have to go to the last step, which is almost 90% complete.

If you think of a way, it is entirely possible to complete the last step.

"I understand." Jiang Yao looked at most of the decayed Explosive Immortal Pearls.

In this forbidden desert environment, the explosive fairy beads are difficult to decay, especially semi-finished products that have not been refined and have a longer shelf life.

Under the same preservation environment, since there are still three that are not decayed, there is no reason for the other Explosive Immortal Pearls to decay.

But they happened to be corrupted.

There is only one reason: their Taoist charm was absorbed by the spirit of the instrument on the drum.

It was by absorbing the Taoist charm of the Explosive Immortal Pearl that the weapon spirit of Jingu developed independent consciousness, cultivated the monster body, and became the strong man here.

As a result, the Explosive Immortal Pearl decayed.

Without the long-term nourishment of the Explosive Immortal Pearl, the weapon spirit would not be able to cultivate into a powerful monster.

If this monster left the Forbidden Desert, its strength would be at least that of a great saint.

If Jiang Yao hadn't discovered the Explosive Immortal Pearl, the last three Explosive Immortal Pearls would have been destroyed by this monster sooner or later.

But here comes a new question: King Xi Jinwu is the war drum of the Kansai Camp and is personally in charge of the commander. Why does he appear in the Kansai Prison? And he also appears in the cauldron being refined?

Also, who killed the eight dead people who refined the explosive fairy beads?

Why didn't the person who killed them take away King Xi Jinwu and the Immortal Explosion Pearl? How would the murderer not take away such important things?

This real fire underground palace is very hidden, and the soldiers of the Kansai camp may not know it.

But since the eight prisoners who were refining the explosive fairy beads were killed, the murderers must be very powerful, or there are many people, so it is impossible that they cannot discover what is in the cauldron.

These three questions immediately made Jiang Yao feel puzzled.

He was seriously injured at this time, and his mind was in severe pain when he thought about the problem, but he had to think about it.

"Ahem." Jiang Yao sat down and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Senior Sister Ah Xuan, look at these eight corpses. What's wrong with them?"

It was difficult for him to walk at this time and it was difficult to examine the bones.

Xuanmiao looked at it and said quickly: "There are two corpses with waist tags and formation keys on them. The other six people don't have waist tags and formation keys."

"Hmm. It seems that there are actually six refiners, not eight. Those two are not refiners."

Jiang Yao's face was pale and his tone was weak, "How did they die? Can you tell?"

Xuan Miao pondered and said: "The two of them have magic weapons, but they have already decayed. The six refiners have no magic weapons. It seems that the two groups killed each other."

"The first ones to make the move must be the two people with the right credentials."

Jiang Yao understood. It was the jailer who killed six prisoners who were refining the explosive fairy beads.

They have already colluded as a team, why do they have to fight?

It is very likely that the Kansai Army was about to break through the prison formation, but the Explosive Immortal Pearl had not yet been successfully refined. In desperation, in order to survive, the jailers temporarily defected and wanted to kill the prisoners and surrender to the Kansai camp.

That's why the two jailers suddenly attacked.

They had magic weapons and a surprise attack, and actually killed six prisoners with Mahayana cultivation. But after all, there were only two of them, and they were killed by the other party.

Both sides perished together.

After the soldiers of the Kansai Camp broke into the prison, they must have killed many people. However, they did not know that the hidden True Fire Palace had this secret, so they did not find it.

Kansai Prison is actually a small independent town with a large area and many buildings. It has always been a confidential martial law unit for generations. It is difficult for people who are not familiar with it to find the secret place.

The sergeants didn't expect it to be normal here.

Okay. Now the two questions have been answered.

First, the eight people killed each other, not others.

Second, the treasure was not taken away because the secrets were lost forever with the death of the eight people and the destruction of the Kansai Prison, and no one knew about it.

Then, only the third question remains: Why did King Xi Jinwu appear in the tripod?

Is this the reason why the Kansai Camp attacked the Kansai Prison?

Xijin Wuwang is an ancient treasure of the Tao of Sound, with a powerful Taoist rhyme.

The six prisoners refined the remains of the Western Drum King and the Immortal together, probably to enhance the sound attack power of the Explosive Immortal Pearl and increase its power.

They are not members of the army, they are prisoners, they are all criminals, and they certainly cannot understand the significance of King Wu of Xijin to the soldiers.

Their starting point is clear.

But how did they get King Xi Jinwu of the Kansai Camp?

Jiang Yao thought for a while and came up with only one possibility.

That is, the commander-in-chief of the Kansai Camp at the time must have committed something and was imprisoned by the imperial court, and was temporarily imprisoned in the Kansai Prison.

This is something that happened in history. If a general from the Kansai Camp committed a crime, he would usually be temporarily detained in the Kansai Prison first, and then wait for someone from Chang'an to take him to the capital.

In the Tang Dynasty, this was considered a common practice.

The truth may be that just when the commander-in-chief of the Kansai Camp was temporarily detained in the Kansai Prison, and before the imperial court sent personnel to take over, the catastrophe of the immortal world came.

The commander-in-chief of the Kansai camp was a powerful man at the immortal level. He must have fallen and died in prison at that time.

So, the soldiers from the Kansai camp came to attack the prison and surrounded the city of the prison.

In order to protect themselves, the wardens of the Great Prison released prisoners with Mahayana cultivation and used the remains of fallen immortals to refine explosive fairy beads.

In order to strengthen the power of the Explosive Immortal Pearl, King Xijin Wu, who was kept by the commander of the camp, was simply thrown into the cauldron.

Unfortunately, before the refining was completed, the soldiers of the Kansai camp broke into the prison city. In order to retaliate, they bloodbathed the prison city.

Jiang Yao had a splitting headache when he thought of this.

This is probably the historical truth.

"Let's go to Guixiao." Jiang Yao struggled to stand up, "The healing of the forbidden land is too slow."

"Xiao Hei, you are holding the drum's gripper in your mouth, we will leave immediately."

Xuanmiao frowned, "Can you ride a horse?"

She didn't see how Jiang Yao could ride a dog in this state, he would definitely fall off.

"Ahem." Jiang Yao blushed and wiped her cold sweat in embarrassment, "Just hold me and let's ride together."

What?

Xuan Miao was startled, and his dark eyes widened.

PS: Today is too busy! It’s like a war! It’s over, woohoo! Good night!
