Zhao Miao returned to the tent again and looked inside with a subtle expression. Lu Wangji was holding the Yao Qin across his arms. The sound of the strings was like a spring flowing through the tent. It rippled away. He saw a vague figure sitting on the marching couch. It was not clear to the naked eye.
.
"Fantasy Feather Butterfly? Your Gu art is indeed much better than before, and you actually brought this lost art of Gu to the world again." Zhao Shui looked slightly serious.
After the magic was removed, Miao Suoluo appeared. Her legs were crossed and raised, her jade feet were dangling lightly, and she supported her chin with one hand. She looked at Zhao Mian with a charming face and said, "The little husband Zhao back then has grown into an adult now."
Why did you grow a beard? Isn’t it the custom among men of Huaxu State to shave their faces?”
Zhao Shu touched the beard around his mouth and couldn't help but smile: "I am in the army and have no time to pay attention to my appearance. If it weren't for the invasion of your Jiuli Kingdom army, I might still be in Dongsheng Capital at this moment."
Miao Saluo also laughed: "Are you blaming me, sister?"
"I just didn't expect that you would actually participate in the surprise attack on Dantu County." Zhao Shu asked: "I wonder how long the food and grass in the city can support it now?"
"I'm not responsible for these trivial matters, and I'm too lazy to ask." Miao Saluo waved his hands indifferently: "But don't expect to trap them to death in ten days. People in Jiuli Kingdom have gone crazy and eat human flesh alive to satisfy their hunger.
, it’s not something unusual.”
"Barbarians are indeed barbarians." Zhao Shu sneered twice, and then asked: "If you don't stay in the city and take the risk to come to my camp, do you want to surrender?"
"It's rare for old friends to meet each other, why don't you allow me, sister, to reminisce about the past?" Miao Sa Luo looked at Lu Wangji with her wonderful eyes and said in surprise, "Mr. Zhao Xiaolang has also learned bad things. He went out to fight and brought such a female piano player with him."
"This is Fellow Taoist Lu Wangji from Fengming Valley." Zhao Shu introduced: "I advise you to be careful with your words. Whether you can leave or not depends entirely on her."
"What? You've grown so big and you still need someone else to take care of you?" Miaosaluo became interested: "Or are you still injured and can't perform spells?"
Zhao Shu did not hide anything: "Your great witch who can turn into a wild boar, the gods behind him took the initiative and directly overturned my altar. This kind of behavior is rare."
"His name is Sheluo Mandrill, and he is the number one master of the Bailu Tribe." Miao Saluo explained: "It's not just you, I also find it strange. The gods of the Southern Earth Group have been silent for a long time, and the Tianxia Dynasty has been firmly suppressed.
, died and died, hid and hid, but now they are coming forward one after another to make trouble."
Zhao Miao's face was expressionless, Miao Soluo stood up and approached gracefully, Lu Wangji clasped his fingers and hooked his string, Miao Soluo was immediately trapped in the formation blockade and could not move.
"If you want to speak, speak well and don't make any small moves." Zhao Shu was quite afraid of Miao Salo.
When Zhao Shu was seven or eight years old, Miaosaluo traveled to his hometown of Xuanwu County in search of a rare alien insect. Miaosaluo's appearance at that time was not much different from today's. She appeared in the countryside, naturally attracting many rangers and prodigal sons to follow her.
.
These people were all bewitched by Miaosaluo's bewitching skills and were willing to fight to the death for her. In addition, Miaosaluo had few scruples in his actions, so they started to have disputes with local bigwigs.
At that time, there were refugee armies all over Xuanwu County setting up camps and building forts. When Miaosuluo gathered a crowd to offend her, the local wealthy family naturally mobilized their troops to try to capture her.
The scary thing about the voodoo technique is that no one knows when Miao Saluo cast the voodoo. Half a day after the big family led the troops out, many of his subordinates fell ill one after another, and some even acted crazy and started to kill their colleagues.
The wealthy family knew that they had offended a powerful master, so they quickly sent someone to invite Zhao Wei, Zhao Wei's grandfather.
Zhao Wei found out that someone was causing trouble, and after applying talisman water to cure everyone, he opened an altar to practice Dharma, found Miaosaluo himself, and captured him.
Originally, the rich man wanted to catch the culprit, so he threw him into a manure pit to break the spell, then hung him up in the hot sun and whipped him, and tortured him severely. But when he saw Miao Sara, he became lustful.
, and planned to take her as a concubine.
Zhao Wei knew that if Miao Suoluo was let go, the hundreds of people in the wealthy family might become a breeding ground for poisonous insects. No matter how much the wealthy family begged, Zhao Wei refused to let her go and imprisoned her in the shrine.
In the cellar.
At that time, Zhao Miao knew nothing about voodoo. Out of curiosity, he secretly went to find Miao Saluo who was imprisoned.
Miao Suoluo wanted to escape, but she found that she was far from Zhao Wei's opponent, so she turned her attention to Zhao Wei, and took the opportunity of explaining the Gu technique to lure Zhao Wei to lift the restriction for her.
Although Zhao Shu had already followed his grandfather to study religious scriptures at that time, he was still young and ignorant, and he was actually allowed to lift the restrictions left by his grandfather.
Once Miao Saluo got out of trouble, he had revenge on his mind, so he kidnapped Zhao Mi and escaped into the mountains and forests.
This move was not only to use Zhao Shu as a bait to attract the insects, but also to attract Zhao Wei, so that they could fight each other after they met, so that Miao Soluo could take advantage of the opportunity.
Fortunately, Zhao Wei arrived in time and rescued Zhao Mi after severely injuring the insect. Miao Saluo also took the opportunity to collect the insect and escaped from there.
As for Zhao Miao, he was once trapped in a spider web by Miao Sara, hung upside down in a cave, and lived with countless corpses and bones, and almost died. After being rescued by his grandfather, he fell seriously ill and was extremely afraid of Miao Sara. This experience will also be reflected when he grows up.
Can't forget.
Today's Zhao Shu is obviously not what he used to be, but when facing Miaosa Luo, he still has to be careful and vigilant. However, he is still injured and cannot perform any spells, so he has almost no power to protect himself.
"Oh, men all have this problem." Miao Saluo tried to break free from the restraints and said with a charming posture: "Mr. Zhao Xiaolang, when you have a new love, do you forget the old love?"
"You didn't take the risk to come to our military camp just to gossip." Zhao Shu joked unintentionally: "Tell me, what exactly are you going to do?"
"I'm here to repay my kindness." Miao Saluo winked at Zhao Shu and said, "If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to catch the golden-winged dragon moth."
"Repay the favor?" Zhao Shu simply said: "Simple, let the Jiuli soldiers and horses in Dantu County come out of the city and surrender."
"Don't be ridiculous." Miaosuluo said with a smile: "She Luo Mandrill has been preparing to leave the city to attack the camp in the past few days. He ordered the Wu Teng Village Great Witch to drill tunnels with vine wood, intending to attack your camp in one fell swoop.
.”
Zhao Shu was secretly frightened and looked at Lu Wangji: "Has fellow Taoist noticed something strange?"
He saw Lu Wangji sitting on the ground, holding his fingers on the strings without playing with them. After a while, he stood up and said, "There are indeed roots of vegetation extending out of the city in the direction of Dantu County, and there are also a lot of digging movements."
"How's it going? Sister, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Miaosaluo turned on the spot, not knowing how to break free from the restraints.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Zhao Shu asked: "Don't say anything about repaying your kindness. You should know what the consequences will be if you inform us of the movements in Jiuli Country."
Miao Saluo sat on the camp couch and patted the seat next to her: "Come and sit with me, and I will tell you."
Zhao Shu thought about it again and again, and came to sit side by side with Miao Suoluo on the marching couch. The other party touched his beard naughtily. Zhao Sui secretly rubbed the life contract ring on his wrist, guarding against Miao Suoluo waiting for an opportunity to poison him.
"Have you had enough fun?" Zhao Shu felt uncomfortable.
"She Luo Mandrill pretended to be a god and said that you were not going to die soon." Miao Sa Luo pinched Zhao Mi's cheek and said, "Now that I see you, I am sure that he just fabricated it out of thin air and was full of ambitions for success."
Zhao Shu understood clearly: "It must be quite difficult to come to Dantu County. You have thousands of soldiers and horses to surprise the city in the hinterland of Huaxu Kingdom. The local people must be resisting constantly, and you will not be able to hold on in Dantu County forever."
"Sheng Feizuo is going crazy. He drives the people in the city to strengthen the fortress and dig tunnels every day." Miao Saluo said: "He is the surrendered general of your Huaxu Kingdom who defected to Jiuli Kingdom after the Three Gong Rebellion.
If he doesn't get the credit this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in Jiuli Country any longer."
"No wonder you directly chose a key place like Dantu County." Zhao Shu asked again: "But these are not the reasons for your coming. I want to know how much benefit you can get from this move?"
Miao Saluo crossed his arms and said: "You should still remember, right? I am a Gu Master who was born in Baihua Valley. Unlike other tribes in the South, Baihua Valley does not serve a certain god. From our point of view, every plant and tree has its own characteristics.
Spirituality is the basis of Gu magic.
In the past, Baihua Valley could compete with other tribes by virtue of their Gu skills. However, in recent years, the movements of the gods of the Southern Earth Group have become more frequent. In the past, they would hardly interfere in the world with their own hands, and everything would be done by the witches and Zhus. However, this situation may have to change.
.”
"For example, the god that Sheluo Mandrill believes in?" Zhao Shu asked tentatively.
"Great God Baili." Miao Suoluo looked at Zhao Shu and said, "I still remember what my predecessors told me. Back then, the Xia Dynasty annexed the southern land and opened mountains to build roads. As a result, it shook the ground and disturbed the gods. The gods became angry and caused a landslide.
, resulting in countless casualties. When the Tianxia court heard about this, they sent a group of praise officers and cursed beings to suppress the gods of the southern land."
"It's called repression, but it's actually torture." Zhao Shu said: "The gods enshrined in the Shixi tribe were the first to bear the brunt. They were dragged directly from their lairs, had thirty-six god-killing nails, and were punished by wind and thunder for ninety-nine and eighty-one days.
, in the end both body and soul were destroyed. Then most of the Heidong Barbarians, Feitou Barbarians and other tribes also did the same."
"So, it's no wonder that you, the descendant of the Praise Officer, have attracted the gods of the Southern Earth to take action. You are a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh." Miao Saluo gently tapped Zhao Shu.
"The official of the Tianxia Dynasty suppressed the gods of the Southern Territory and established the Great Lord of Fire Virtue in the Southern Territory." Zhao Shu said: "Destroying evil customs and promoting education gave the people of the Southern Territory something to fall back on. At the same time, it also suppressed the fortune of the Southern Earth Group.
.It seems that the suppression currently exerted on the Southern Earth Gods can no longer continue.”
"Do you know the reason for Jiuli Kingdom's large-scale military deployment this time?" Miao Saluo asked.
"That demon king horned snake in the horned snake cave, right?" Zhao Miao smiled and said, "Huaxu Kingdom is not ignorant."
"A mere demon king and horned snake is not worthy of such a big fanfare from the Jiuli Kingdom." Miao Saluo said: "I heard some news that the Fengju ten witches from the Jiuli Kingdom planned to summon the snake god to come down to earth, and the demon king and horned snake came to earth.
It is the body possessed by the snake god."
Zhao Shu's expression changed when he heard the news. Originally, the news that the demon king was about to break the seal and be born was enough to make Huaxu Kingdom extremely nervous. Now it is heard that the ten witches of Fengju will summon the snake god to the earth. This situation is greatly
It exceeded Zhao Shu’s expectations.
Generally speaking, whether they are monsters, ghosts, spirits or monsters, the gods of the southern land are all people hiding in the mountains and rivers. They are already in the mortal world, but they rarely show their faces, so there is no need to talk about descending to the earth. If they can be canonized, Being listed in the sacrificial code, you can also master the talismans of mountains and rivers, even if you only have one land.
In addition to these, there is another type of gods, which are naturally formed by the creation of heaven and earth. They are innately sacred, in charge of laws, and their functions are far-reaching.
The Heavenly Emperor Taiyi, the Five Virtues Great King, and the Hundred Gods under the Emperor worshiped by the ceremonial officers of the Tianxia Dynasty are exactly this kind of innate sacredness.
However, unlike all kinds of mortal beings, mountain gods and water gods, these innate sacred beings are selfless and selfless, have no desires or demands, and do not drink or eat. Only in this way can they rule the sky and take over the earth. The praising officials have set up various rituals and rituals. , Only in this way can we have the merit of practicing law on behalf of heaven.
However, there are also a very small number of innate saints who are infected by the beliefs and wishes of all living beings in the future and develop selfish spiritual intelligence. These people live as long as the world, but they have selfish desires and are in charge of laws. If they behave in a biased manner, it will often lead to A huge disaster.
It's just that most of these gods are seen in the writings of the ancients, and it seems that they never appeared in the Tianxia Dynasty.
But now that he heard that the snake god descended to earth, Zhao Shui immediately thought of this matter. Could it be that this snake god was also an innate divine being infected by the faith and wishes of the mortal world?
"Looking at you like this, I know that I have found the wrong person." Miao Saluo propped up his chin and looked at Zhao Shu with interest: "I don't like any snake gods. The southern land is already very messy, and now it is like this. With such a respected god, Baihua Valley may no longer be able to stand on its own."
"For such an important matter, it seems that you have not found the right person to find me." Zhao Shu knew that the situation was serious, but he still pretended to be normal.
"No matter how powerful the ten witches of Fengju are, they still have to break the seal and rescue the demon king before they can summon the snake god to the earth." Miao Saluo said: "As long as your Huaxu Kingdom guards the Jianjia Pass, Jiuli Kingdom will have no chance. You can take advantage of it. If the ten witches of Fengju want to go to Jiaohui Cave alone, they have to take great risks. Not to mention others, your Huaxu Kingdom also has a Liang Guoshi."
The current confrontation between the two countries actually lies in this. The Huaxu Kingdom must force the Jiuli Kingdom's army away from Jianjia Pass no matter what, because Jiaohui Cave is near Guancheng.
"For the sake of Baihua Valley, you didn't even hesitate to betray confidential military information and sit back and watch the defeat of Jiuli Kingdom." Zhao Miao looked at Miao Suoluo: "You are as selfish as ever."
"It's you." Miao Saluo gently tapped the tip of Zhao Mi's nose: "You are no longer as innocent and cute as you were when you were a child. You are full of calculations. I don't like it very much, sister."
"Now that I am the commander-in-chief of an army, I cannot tolerate my childishness and naivety." Zhao Shu said with a serious face.
Miaosaluo rolled his eyes: "You guys, you only know how to fight and kill for the sake of power, fame and wealth. It's really boring."
Zhao Miao was speechless, and Miao Saluo stood up and said, "I have said everything. What Mr. Zhao Xiaolang plans to do has nothing to do with me."
Lu Wangji still held Yao Qin across his arms, looking ready to go. When Miao Saluo saw this, he said: "What? Don't let sister leave? That's fine. I'll sleep here tonight."
Zhao Shu waved his hand gently, and Lu Wangji stepped aside. Miao Saluo was not polite, and gradually disappeared, leaving a wisp of fragrant wind in the tent, and came to his face with words: "Zhao Xiaolangjun, are you okay?" Don't be too desperate, if you continue like this, it's not just Jiuli Kingdom who wants to kill you."
