The fire had long been extinguished by frost and snow, and the charred beams and rafters were slightly sticking out in the severe frost.
A few steps away, there is a bottomless pit. Standing on the edge, the burnt smell of fire and thunder has not dissipated, lingering on the tip of my nose.
The square-faced man was silent for a while, then he raised his head and looked around.
This small village located on the border of Beiwei is in a dilapidated state. Half of it was shattered by the lightning summoned by the curse, and the other half is cold and sparse.
Majia Village, like hundreds of small border villages in Beiwei, has been completely reduced to a dead end.
The square-faced man's arms trembled slightly, and he stared at this scene with confusion in his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, they all seem to be dead."
Another voice came from the snow.
The man, who was also wearing a white linen robe and had three big flags behind him, walked slowly. He was like a plate of walnuts, slightly turning the three purple pills in his hand, smiling jokingly.
"It's so tragic, tsk tsk, I can't bear to see it."
He walked up to the square-faced man and gave a pretentious sigh:
"Seeing this scene, General Chen, I almost cried."
"Do you have a silk scarf, let me wipe away your tears, how about it?"
The man with the square face was clearly Chen Ao.
Bai Shu had a friendship with him in Fenyin City.
But for some unknown reason, he wandered to Beiwei and actually joined the ranks of those in white linen robes.
"Zhuangjiabao, Xujia Town, Xiaohe Village, Dahe Village, Baixi Village..."
Chen Ao hoarse his voice and silently pointed forward: "Now, add another Majia Village."
"What?" His companion said nonchalantly.
"You...are you still human?!"
Chen Ao finally got angry, his hair standing on end like an angry lion.
"The king and the great Zen master have a destiny! They ordered us to capture the black demons roaming the countryside! You, you..."
He was breathing heavily, and his eyes flashed fiercely:
"You don't care at all. You push and hold back, and you obey and violate. Look, look, how many people are dead right now!"
"you……"
A hand pressed on Chen Ao's shoulder, which also interrupted his rage. Chen Ao's knees softened and he almost knelt down due to the heavy force.
"It's not you, it's us."
The man lowered his head, staring at Chen Ao with a pair of eyes as pale as a ghost lamp, without any trace of color.
"We are not humans either, we are demons."
He spoke softly, raising the corners of his mouth:
"Just like humans and monkeys, how can they be compared together?"
"The great Zen master has spread his power all over the world, and you and I are the ones who have benefited from it, and we have become masters in the world."
He slowly let go of Chen Ao, stretched out his hand, and walked in the deserted village, his laughing voice echoing.
"When I was young, my family was extremely poor. Although my talent for cultivation was not bad, I couldn't afford the consumption of martial arts, elixirs, mental techniques, magical powers... which one didn't cost money? At that time, I secretly made up my mind
Determined."
"I, Zhang Boyu." He turned around suddenly, a fierce look on his face flashed away: "I, Zhang Boyu, want to be a master!"
"Is this a great person?"
"Why do you have to ridicule me, Chen Ao."
Zhang Boyu smiled and regained his disapproving expression:
"You took refuge in Chen Jia in the early years. You were servile and fawning in every possible way, and you took it as a way to get ahead. You even changed your surname. You and I are the same kind of people."
"I want to be a master. I also want to go to court and be the prime minister, and I also want to restore the old scenery of my home.
I make friends with the lords of the Holy Land and noble families, I curry favor with the chiefs of the court, I act like an eagle, a dog, a horse, an ox, but whenever I can speak while kneeling, I will never straighten my body and even lower my head."
Zhang Boyu had a smile on his face. He folded his hands and listened to Chen Ao talking to himself. But suddenly, the square-faced man turned around sharply.
"But I! I never thought about killing anyone!"
Chen Ao's face was ferocious, and countless cruelties were highlighted in the moves he made against Sen Bai.
"Is human flesh delicious?" Zhang Boyu smiled warmly.
"you……"
"Let me ask you." Zhang Boyu clapped his hands and walked slowly to Chen Ao.
He cleared his throat and his expression changed instantly.
Before Chen Ao had time to react, he was pressed on the head with great force. In an instant!
Bang!!!
As if being bombarded by hundreds of heavy cannons, a deafening loud noise suddenly sounded! The horrifyingly dull air was compressed into substance, countless earth and rocks flew randomly, and the earth suddenly cracked, sinking three inches.
In the smoke and dust, Zhang Boyu patted the dirt on his clothes, still smiling.
Chen Ao's limbs were twisted in weird ways, as if they had been broken. He was like a rag doll, with blood spurting out from between his mouth and nose, and his eyes were dim.
"Human flesh."
Zhang Boyu stepped on Chen Ao's head and slowly exerted force, and the sound of bone cracking gradually sounded.
“It’s still delicious.”
He stared at his dying old friend and spoke seriously:
"Everyone is a demon, and no one forces you to practice the Yi Ding Heart Sutra. Old man, who are you pretending to be for?"
"I……"
In the deep pit, Chen Ao was so angry that he struggled to speak.
"You act like a dog for Chen Jia, and I act like a dog for Xie Kang. We are all the same. Why did you have a woman's heart and rebel against me after you fled to Beiwei? It makes me, Zhang Boyu, look like a great villain.
."
"Old friend, since you have chosen the path of a human being and a demon, you should adapt to it as soon as possible regardless of the scenery ahead."
When the sound of cracking bones was almost like a continuous blast of cannons, Zhang Boyu finally retracted his foot.
"There are thousands of people and demons who have come to Beiwei. It is a great blessing for you and me to be valued by the great Zen master and selected into the Yinghuo Army."
"There are not many people from Dazheng in the Yinghuo Army."
Zhang Boyu's face was expressionless: "I tolerate you once, but there may not be a second time. Don't be too ignorant!"
He raised his head and no longer cared about Chen Ao, who was as angry as a hairpin. From a distance, another person came through the wind and snow.
Seven or eight people wearing white linen robes with three big flags behind them suddenly stood upright. They saluted Zhang Boyu with respectful expressions.
"Report the battle situation." Zhang Boyu said.
"Eighteen water worms, twenty-four flying beasts, and seven hundred-legged bull snakes."
One of the seven or eight people stood up and answered with a smile:
"They have all been re-entered into purple pills."
"What about Fish Boy, Rentou Bridge, Hundred Eyes Temple, Meatman and Fish Face Mountain?"
"Those ghosts..." The person who spoke chuckled: "Sir, I have low magic power, but I don't have the ability to put them into the purple pill."
"I'm used to sneaking around!" Zhang Boyu laughed and cursed:
"It's because of these scum like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death that my Sixth Department is often overwhelmed by the other departments."
"As long as I am alive, I can only serve you with this miserable life."
The person who spoke was not afraid, lowered his body and said with a smile.
"I heard that everyone wants to seal that octopus." Another man in white linen robes said: "It's the octopus with twelve wings."
"Are they seeking death?" For the first time, Zhang Boyu looked moved.
The Yinghuo Army belongs directly to the Great Zen Master Miaoyan, and the entire force is the best among humans and demons.
The Yinghuo Army is divided into six divisions, and the person in charge of each division has a cultivation level close to the five realms of life, the ultimate Vajra!
Zhang Boyu and Chen Ao belong to the six places together.
The Great Zen Master Miaoyan took Ziwu and used unknown means to summon an indescribable monster from the Ziwu, and sealed it in the purple pill, allowing it to be driven by the Yinghuo Army.
Those indescribable monsters have also been given different names.
Water worm, centipede bull snake, fish boy, Rentouqiao, Baimu Temple, flesh man...
But there are also strengths and weaknesses among them.
The strongest ones are difficult to control even the most powerful ones in the Yinghuo Army.
The flying octopus with twelve wings, the dry and thin shadow burning with fire, the huge sphere of light...
During the war between the two countries, the twelve-winged flying octopus went into a frenzy and even broke free from Shimaru's shackles, disappearing without a trace.
At that time, even the local officials from Dazheng only cut off a few tentacles and were unable to intercept it.
During that battle, many monsters took advantage of the chaos of the fight to break free and wander into the countryside.
The Yinghuo Army came to re-seal the escaped monsters under the orders of the Lord of the Northern Wei Kingdom and the Great Zen Master.
"They want to compete for favor in front of the king." Zhang Boyu raised his head: "People everywhere, what can they rely on?"
"Zhebingshan will take action."
"It turns out." Zhang Boyu nodded slightly: "Don't worry about them. Don't think about fighting for favor. In troubled times, surviving is the most important thing."
"I understand, what about this meat man?"
"The flesh man was killed." Zhang Boyu replied lazily.
The monster in Majia Village was originally a person with a heart of flesh and blood, and was called a flesh man by the Yinghuo Army.
This fleshly creature is so tenacious that it only has one drop of blood left. Given time and supplemented by blood food, it can grow its body again.
The more flesh and blood he swallows, the stronger his limbs become, slowly evolving into a body that is difficult to cut even with fine steel.
Without exception, all the indescribable monsters in Purple Pill are extremely good at mental pollution and spiritual attacks.
If there is no powerful Yuan Mystic Law, if you are not careful, your consciousness will be polluted by the monster's spirit, and you will become a walking zombie, and you will no longer be able to control yourself.
Ordinary mortals who do not practice martial arts will fall into madness and despair as long as they stare at them, and their consciousness will be shattered.
Zhang Boyu and others came here with orders to seal it.
It's just that the flesh man is weird, even Zhang Boyu and others would never want to come into contact with him.
After putting it off again and again, until it could no longer be put off, many people arrived belatedly.
"The flesh man was killed, why don't we find the culprit?"
"Looking for a shit!"
Zhang Boyu yelled and cursed, then hit the person on the head with no politeness:
"Open your eyes wide and see what a ghost this Majia Village has become!"
A bottomless pit that spread dozens of feet suddenly swept through half of Majia Village. Under the heavy frost and snow, it still could not fill the pit.
"It's Lei Fa." Zhang Boyu said calmly.
"Refa?"
"Anyone who can summon thunder has a great magical power no matter what." Zhang Boyu pointed out:
"Looking at the posture, the flesh man was directly blasted by the lightning method, and no bones were left. We cannot afford to offend such a person, whether it is Beiwei or Dazheng."
"But……"
"Don't think about how to invite favors, life is the most important thing, not to mention..."
Zhang Boyu sneered, his eyes a bit playful.
"The people from Zhebing Mountain patrol the border areas. If the person who kills the flesh man is a Zheng man, he will inevitably encounter Zhebing Mountain's defense. I heard that even Lu Yusheng, the new saint son of Zhebing Mountain, has come in person."
"Then what should we do?" The person who answered was still confused.
"Go home!" Zhang Boyu clasped his hands behind his back and didn't look back: "I've become a monster, but I still don't have any brains!"
All the demons and demons shouted out and responded to Zhang Boyu's call with great joy.
They may come from Northern Wei, or from Dazheng, and some even have their homeland as far away as Dachu.
After practicing the "Yi Ding Heart Sutra" and transforming into human beings and demons, they suddenly became superior to humans in the territory of Beiwei.
Cherishing life is a common thing in the world since ancient times.
No one wants to die if they can live, even if they are human demons.
"Stop being a woman, Chen Ao."
When passing the square-faced man, Zhang Boyu stopped.
"When you and I practiced the "Yi Ding Heart Sutra", we wanted to climb up the martial arts and improve our cultivation. Look, now, I am already at the second level of Yang Fu, but you still stand still."
"Your sister..." He sighed softly: "Your sister, she also wants you to survive."
The dying Chen Ao suddenly raised his head, and countless wounds burst out. His eyes darkened, but he did not speak.
…
…
…
At the same time, deep underground.
A dark yellow spiritual light flew through the tired soil and thick rock formations, as if it were nothing.
"Condensation!"
Deep in the aura, the monk in white moved his lips slightly and uttered a word.
The dark yellow spiritual light that was originally a little scattered suddenly solidified. Xuan Kong, who was sweating profusely, exhaled deeply and his expression became much more relaxed.
"Aren't you a ground-walking rat?" Bai Zhu said helplessly: "It's so hard to walk on the ground no matter what."
"Sir, I'm still young. In order not to be noticed, we have escaped to the depths of the earth. It's very laborious."
Xuan Kong also turned around helplessly:
"When the war between Zheng and Wei started, I was just trying to watch the fun and was accidentally shocked by the octopus monster's throat. Otherwise, sir, you wouldn't have caught me so easily."
"Let's continue on our way." Baizhu continued to meditate: "How far is it?"
"Two or three meals are not far away."
Xuankong exhaled, and the dark yellow aura continued to move forward.
Along the way, in the three or four hours since leaving Majia Village, there have been many practitioners in the border areas.
Yang Fu, King Kong, and at a glance, there is even a general-looking man, whose blood is boiling like an oven. From a distance of hundreds of miles, one can sense the frighteningly strong energy.
They seemed to be constructing an ancient formation, all arranged in strange directions and meticulous.
In order to avoid being noticed and causing trouble, Bai Shu and Xuan Kong used earth-moving techniques to rush on their way, but they were safe and sound.
It's just that this country rat is not strong enough. Halfway through the journey, his true energy dried up and he almost fell to the ground.
Bai Shu assisted him with words and curses, and at least he was finally there.
In the groggy state, there was silence all around. Suddenly, the monk in white who was sitting cross-legged in meditation suddenly opened his eyes.
He stood up suddenly, startling Xuan Kong beside him.
Baizhu's face was as dark as water. He put his hand on Xuan Kong's shoulder, just when he was about to activate the great moving talisman in Niwan Palace.
Suddenly, a sound as loud as the sound of heaven resounded.
A golden avenue spreads down the vast underground, with visions lingering, mist flowing, the dark abyss illuminated, and golden petals scattered all over the sky. Each one has the faint sound of Zen singing and sutra chanting echoing.
Xuankong was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
He hid behind Baizhu, grabbed the monk's clothes tightly, and carefully popped out half of his head.
On the golden avenue, a monk wearing cassocks is looking at him with a smile. He is not taller than an ordinary person, but he seems to be crowded with the vast abyss, shaking the depths of the void. He is sacred, solemn, solemn and compassionate.
"Xu Ming." The monk on the Golden Avenue clasped his hands together: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
