Chapter 249 Chongxiao Wolf Smoke 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】
There was an explosion and thick smoke floated into the sky.
It was not only the church members at the top of the cliff who were alarmed.
Two or three miles to the west of Lingshan Col, among the reeds, water and grass, a Zoroastrian believer crouched every three to five steps. Almost all of these believers were immersed in the water, with only their mouths and noses sticking out of the water for breathing.
They held short-handled crescent shovels in one hand and slowly peeled off the leeches from their necks with the other hand and flicked them aside. Occasionally, water snakes passed by leisurely, seeming to be frightened by the murderous intention lurking here, they actually walked away from it and jumped into the water in an instant.
When the huge explosion sounded, the mountains seemed to be shaken. Although the believers submerged in the water were extremely shocked, they remained motionless. Only one protector wearing a green lotus robe poked his head out from the reeds.
Come, look around from a distance, and your face suddenly freezes:
This "smoke rising into the sky" is a signal for Zoroastrian Dharma kings to "ask for help from all directions". If it were not an emergency, which Dharma protector would be so reckless as to use this method of communication? No! I can rush there as soon as I need, or I can
Give a helping hand.
As soon as he thought of this, the protector suddenly made a strange frog sound. Hearing the sound, the other believers also responded with frog sounds: "Magu ~ Magu~"
The leader suddenly jumped out, like a huge water bird with dripping water drops. He touched it lightly on a thuja tree and went far away.
Opposite Thuja, on the cliff, stood a protector wearing a blue lotus robe. Behind the protector were six missionaries, all dressed in the same indigo lotus robe and moon-white scarf.
The protector had obviously heard the commotion. When he saw the green shadow at the foot of the mountain erratic, heading west, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "This is the 'smoke rising into the sky'. It shows that what is happening to the west is not a trivial matter! The protector of Chishui has already set off, how can we stay here?"
Queen? Envoy An Ren will stay, and the Fire Crossbow Team will be at your disposal for the time being. Others, follow me!"
"Magu! It's just... Divine Fire Protector, what's the meaning of this 'wolf smoke in the sky'? It's hard for me to understand." An Ren envoy was unwilling. When he wanted to ask more, the Divine Fire Protector had already brought five missionaries with him.
Catching the flying claw and hook, he ran down the cliff.
"If you can come back alive, this protector will answer your questions again..." A voice came from under the cliff, making Anren feel a little calmer. He turned around, opened a crossbow machine, and met with the Fire Crossbow Team
Lying down in one place, waiting for the fighter plane to arrive.
The body is like a pendant, and the wind whistles in the ears.
Unless he was extremely talented and brave, ordinary rangers would not dare to jump off the cliff like this.
Before the alchemist joined the religion, he was a Taoist priest who practiced the art of external elixirs. His Taoist skills were not obvious and his martial arts were mediocre. However, he was very interested in these strange things.
He used his hands and feet to relieve the force of the fall on the rocks and vines; at the same time, he stepped forward and respectfully said to the Divine Fire Protector: "Master Protector, although we have heard of 'Wolf Smoke in the Sky', we don't know how it is generated.
I also hope that the Dharma Protector will not hesitate to advise me, and I will die without any regrets if I do this humbly!"
The divine fire protector held the hook with both hands, tightening and loosening each other. His figure became more like a spider, running down quickly and slowly. After hearing what the alchemist said, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Refining
Medicine Maker, you are lucky enough to be from a Taoist sect! Do you know the 'Internal Sulfur Subduing Fire Technique' recorded in Miaoying Master Sun Simiao's "Elixir Sutra"?"
The refining doctor was ashamed: "I have never studied this sutra... Most of what my master taught me was the meaning of the sutras in "Baopuzi", "Yao Zongjue" and "Ji Jin Dan Huang Bai Fang". I don't think so of what others say...
"
The divine fire protector was now close to the bottom of the cliff. The sound of Luoshui flowing over the reeds and trees reached the ears, making one feel suddenly cool.
He simply jumped down and as soon as his feet landed on the ground, he interrupted the alchemist's explanation: "Your master sticks to the old ways and does not admire the learning of others. He is really misleading the students! "The Alchemy Sutra" contains: "One liang of sulfur and one liang of saltpeter.
, half a pound of sand, the three flavors on the right are made into powder, and the boiled water is turned into juice. Pour it into the trough to make it. This is the recipe for 'gunpowder'.
"Chongxiao Wolf Smoke" is to fill a bamboo tube with gunpowder, spread the powder, and make firecrackers. Then burn it with fire, and use the power of the feather arrow to shoot into the sky, causing it to explode in the air. The green and black smoke comes from
Firecrackers are set off and can be seen for miles, as a message... This is the method of 'shooting into the sky'."
The alchemist suddenly realized what he was doing, and when his figure fell safely from the rock wall, he was overjoyed and said: "The protector is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and has learned from the past and present. He is a humble model. Such a mysterious method is really unbelievable..."
"This method was taught by the holy aunt. I have only listened to it half-heartedly and have a rough understanding of its principles. Let's stop chatting. We must hurry up! If we are late, I'm afraid we will have to collect the bodies for the brothers in the sect." Shenhuo Dharma Protector saw him accompanying him.
The five missionaries have all descended from the rock wall, and they should take the lead and rush towards the west.
The alchemist immediately stopped talking and ran wildly together with several missionaries, struggling to follow behind the Divine Fire Protector. However, the distance was gradually getting further away, and after half a cup of tea, the shadow of the Divine Fire Protector could no longer be seen.
The gold-forged envoy was huge in stature, his footsteps sounded like thunder, but he was out of breath. He was at the end of the five envoys. He was obviously not good at running long distances.
He wanted to open his mouth several times and ask the missionaries in front of him to run slower. However, after holding on for a long time, his face turned red and he did not say a word.
Suddenly I heard a rustling sound coming from behind me, and I immediately turned my head alertly. After taking a look, I couldn't help but stare: "Yes, yes, someone is chasing me! Yes, yes..."
The alchemist and others did not wait for him to finish, they had already turned around, stopped in their tracks, drew out their weapons, and stood ready.
Looking eastward, I saw a red dot quickly enlarging on the official road next to Luoshui, coming from nowhere.
The goldsmith's eyesight was very strong, and he could see clearly that the person coming was wearing a crimson lotus robe and a moon-white scarf covering his face, so he gasped and said, "Yes, he is a brother in the sect!"
Hearing this, the alchemist was the first to put away the rake in his hand. The rest of the missionaries lowered their weapons such as bone whips, copper forks, and mace pestles, and the tight strings in their hearts suddenly relaxed.
However, a few people were still standing in the middle of the official road, wanting to ask the rushing believers what they were going to do.
The person who came was Yang Chaoxi.
After he came out of Xianglu Village, he ran all the way west without stopping. Along the way, he saw many corpses drifting in the Luoshui River - some were Zoroastrian and some wanderers, all of which were shocking.
It seems that the two sides have already experienced several rounds of fighting. It is really a fanciful idea for me to single-handedly stop the killing and reduce the enmity between the two sides...
However, Master Han Fengqiao, the son of Chengxu, once said: Although manpower is sometimes poor, we are born as human beings. If we have a little heat, we must give out a little light. Even if the light of a firefly candle cannot compete with the sun and the moon, it should be sustained in the dark night.
A small piece of light comes so that more people can understand that the world is not hopeless. After all, there are still upright and courageous people in the world.
As soon as I thought of this, the feeling of powerlessness and frustration in my heart suddenly faded away a lot. My feet became more and more anxious, wanting to rush to the place of killing as soon as possible. I can use as much strength as I have. If I can reduce the number of killings, I will reduce the number of killings.
One point of killing. Only in this way can you have no regrets in your heart.
After passing the Lingshan Pass, the mountain gradually opened up. Not long after walking, I saw from a distance that there seemed to be several people blocking the official road ahead. Just by looking at their clothes, I knew they were members of the Zoroastrian religion, and they were all members of the religion.
leader.
When he came closer, he had to stop his steps. Only then did Yang Chaoxi realize that the person blocking his way was actually the missionary who had besieged him in Tongyuan Canal a few days ago, and his eyes suddenly became uncertain.
Fortunately, there are only five missionaries, so even if they recognize him on the spot, there is nothing to fear. With the skills of these missionaries, he will be able to defeat one against five. Even if they are evenly matched, he wants to retreat, but there is no one
Can be stopped.
The alchemist and several other alchemists had already returned to the vicinity of the goldsmith. When Yang Zhaoxi stopped and performed the Holy Fire Ceremony to the people one by one, the alchemist asked: "I wonder where the little brother came from? Where are you going?
?”
Yang Zhaoxi suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said urgently: "My dear missionaries, I have humbly come here from Xianglu Village. Just now there are rangers from all walks of life, setting up camp to recruit soldiers, monks from two temples, Yuan clan's Mulan Guards... all heading upstream together.
He wanted to do harm to our religion. I humbly and the Protector Xuantu wanted to rush to help, but the Protector was injured and his legs were not strong enough. He was delayed for a long time on the road and finally failed to catch up. Only then did he follow the order of the Protector and leave him.
Rush there first."
"Rush for reinforcements? Are you two alone?" the alchemist asked curiously, "Those people you mentioned passed through the valley not long ago. If I had known this, I should have stopped them here. Now we are on our way.
Let’s go together to the west for reinforcements!”
"This... I have an order, I have to take one step first. Dear missionaries, see you later!"
Yang Chaoxi hesitated for a moment, then ignored the others, flew to the water plants beside the official road, stepped on the water plants, and walked around them lightly, running away on his own.
"This kid... is amazing at Qinggong! There's nothing to say, let's chase him!" The alchemist smiled bitterly and followed up. He knew the implication of the cultist's words:
Although you are missionaries, your light skills are not as good as mine. How can you go together?
With a little sense of frustration, the five people continued to run westward.
The mountains on both sides of the river receded head-on, and the grass and trees beside the road turned into green shadows.
Yang Zhaoxi flew all the way, and soon saw two more people wearing green lotus clothes, also speeding ahead. The speed was several times faster than that of ordinary warriors, but it was different from his own light body skill of "crossing the river with a reed".
Compared with the law, it is a bit weaker.
Seeing that he couldn't get around it, Yang Chaoxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and ran forward, clasping his hands in flames and saying, "I humbly pay homage to the two guardians!"
Protector Shenhuo kept walking and laughed: "I was making a bet with Protector Chishui just now, do you dare to come up and greet us two? It seems that this Protector has won! This little brother is so handsome in Qinggong, but I don't know who it is.
Grant?"
Yang Zhaoxi clasped her fists and said, "Once when I was hunting in the mountains, I was chased by a lone wolf for seven or eight miles. Seeing that my life was in danger, I was saved by a wild monk, who later passed on my method of escaping."
You’re making the Dharma Protector laugh!”
Protector Chishui naturally didn't believe his statement, but he didn't criticize it. He just smiled and said, "I don't know your little brother's name? Did you also see the 'Small Smoke in the Sky' and rush to the west for reinforcements?"
Yang Zhaoxi continued to salute and said: "My name is He Jiulang! Following the order of Mr. Xuantu Protector Luo, I rushed to the front to explore the situation... I have low martial arts skills, so I have to act according to the opportunity. If I can save one, I will save one."
"Okay! Little brother, please come with me sincerely! Let's see who kills the most enemies later! Hahaha!" The Divine Fire Protector let out a long roar, and his lower body turned into a green shadow. When he started laughing, his body
Xing had already rushed five or six feet away, hoping to compete with Qinggong.
Protector Chishui naturally refused to give in. His two legs were divided into four legs, and the four legs were divided into eight legs... but it was a set of light-body techniques called "Hundred-legged Magical Powers", which was quite mysterious.
Yang Zhaoxi was so relaxed and happy that she forgot to speed up to catch up. In the blink of an eye, she was far behind the two of them.
This kind of competitive drama is most suitable for the young man's taste. The two protectors Shenhuo and Chishui's flirtation, whether intentional or unintentional, immediately aroused Yang Zhaoxi's competitive spirit.
Yang Zhaoxi didn't hesitate anymore and shouted "Wait for me"! The figure turned into an afterimage again and quickly disappeared in the winding official road.
