After the boat landed, Zhao Shui and Qian Shaobai led more than a hundred soldiers into the thick fog.
In order to prevent the elusive monsters from kidnapping the soldiers, everyone tied hemp ropes around their waists, lined up on the left and right, and moved forward slowly. The rainbow reflection orb hung high above, and the rainbow light bloomed to push away the surrounding fog little by little, trying to illuminate the hazy mist around them.
"I can't sense the talisman crane I just released." Zhao Shu raised his hand to make a feint, but got nothing: "This fog is indeed unusual. It is similar to the fog barrier guarding the entrance to the cave, which can hinder the induction of magic and ghosts and gods.
peep."
Qian Shaobai pointed at the seals at the same time, carefully alerting the surroundings, and said: "To gather such a large fog barrier, we not only need to collect water for use, but also set up formations and perform spells where the earth's energy energy is vented."
"Where the earth's water and air meet, there are many springs, wells and canals." Zhao Shu asked, "What kind of monster do you think it could be?"
Qian Shaobai replied: "Perhaps it is a member of the water tribe."
"Not necessarily." Zhao Shu shook his head: "I sense a trace of vegetation growing in this thick fog."
He saw the wooden stick in Zhao Mi's hand glowing faintly with a green light, and a new bud growing from the top, as if the wooden stick was still a living thing.
Qian Shaobai glanced at it, but didn't dare to ask any more questions, thinking that Zhao Shu's cultivation base was unpredictable and his magic power was unpredictable.
Since he decided to walk as a disciple of Xuanpu Hall, Zhao Shu started to pick up "Sumai Danxin Jue" again.
This Xuan Pu Tang Immortal Technique starts with breathing in fresh Qi and cultivating and refining spiritual roots. It pursues the long and continuous flow of Qi, and refines the true Qi of Yimu, so as to fertilize the grass, cultivate the grass, and repair the garden.
If the "Shuyu Wuzang Chapter" is like a thick pile of earth, then the "Nine Heavens Purple Wen Dan Chapter" is like the cirrus clouds in the sky, and the "Sumai Dan Heart Jue" is like a spiritual soul that has roots deep into the earth and towers high into the clouds.
A huge tree.
Logically speaking, it is not easy to integrate the inheritance of the three immortal arts. However, with Zhao Shu's current cultivation level and Ling Xiao's guidance, he quickly understood the "Su Maidan Heart Jue"
and the many magic techniques in the Xuanpu Jade Book.
Except for the enlightened nine-door formation that can activate the nine-color edge, there are not many fighting techniques in the Xuanpu jade book. Zhao Shui found a living tree-turned-staff technique, drew a ray of true energy to write it into a talisman and seal, and printed it into it.
Offer sacrifices to living trees.
After the talisman is completely rooted in the tree and connected with its veins, the living tree can be transformed into a wooden staff by magic, and the vitality of the tree will be preserved.
This was originally a secret method used by Xuan Pu Tang to transplant mushrooms and maintain vitality. Zhao Shu mixed it into the weapon refining method and planned to refine a living tree into a magic weapon.
This tree staff can't be said to be very powerful now, but it has the wonderful effect of its branches and leaves smelling the wind and its roots exploring the ground. Even if the fog is thick in the sky, it does not prevent the tree staff from detecting the direction of water veins and terrain.
Following Zhao Shu's guidance, everyone walked through the thick fog and arrived at Liaohua County.
"It smells of blood!" As soon as he entered the city, the surrounding fog became slightly lighter, but Qian Shaobai became even more nervous.
Everyone did not dare to go deep, so they randomly found a nearby residence to rest for a while.
"There is no one and no body." The soldiers came to report after a careful search.
Zhao Miao shook the tree stick gently, and the buds at the top became more prosperous. It swayed slightly for a moment, and then shrank back as if frightened.
"How?" Qian Shaobai asked.
"The big demon is in the city." Zhao Shu's face darkened: "I'm afraid all the people in the city have been killed."
"But why don't we see monsters trying to stop us as we approach?" Qian Shaobai was puzzled.
"Because of me." Zhao Shu said bluntly: "It sensed my breath and didn't dare to take action."
Qian Shaobai lowered his voice and said, "Can you deal with this monster?"
"You will know it when you see it." Zhao Shu did not boast.
Qian Shaobai thought for a moment and asked the soldiers to regroup before setting off again. The group walked towards the depths of the county town.
After a while, the fog gradually thinned, and a large hole seemed to be torn open in the originally dark cloudy sky, and the naked eye could see the golden sunshine shining on the earth.
However, what we see in front of us is not a bustling market, small bridges and flowing water, but large tracts of winding vines all over the streets and alleys, overwhelming the walls, penetrating the roof tiles, and extending in strange shapes. Green moss covers almost every inch of the corner, covering most of the county.
Verdant green.
However, in such a lush and green scenery, the strong and abnormal smell of blood is suffocating, and even the most stupid people have an idea - this grass and trees can eat people!
Qian Shaobai had seen many big scenes, but he was still shocked by the scene in front of him of the verdant green ground and the vines entwining the city. He raised the Rainbow Reflection Pearl and tried to find the monster, but he sensed that the surrounding monsters were filled with evil energy, and the quiet atmosphere was breathtaking.
disturbed.
When Zhao Shu saw the vine in front of him, he suddenly recalled the demonic vine he had encountered in Lishan, Chengyang County. For some reason, although the two had very different magical powers, Zhao Shu still felt strange.
induction.
"careful!"
At this time, there was a burst of white mist floating in the distance, and everyone was on guard. Qian Shaobai did not hesitate, and the orb's rainbow light shot out, and the scorching flames swept across, blowing away the white mist.
They saw firelight floating in the air, and everyone could see clearly what kind of mist was here and there. It was clearly a large ball of white catkins.
The white catkins burned into nothing, and there was nothing unusual afterward. Everyone looked at each other, and Qian Shaobai also felt that he was making a fuss.
Everyone continued to move forward and came to the place where the vines and trees met. They saw that each vine was thick enough for two or three people to hug each other. The vines were intertwined and stretched towards the sky, like a giant tree, but the branches and leaves were sparse and there was no lush crown.
"Is this the original monster?" Qian Shaobai concentrated on it, and the orb bloomed with rainbow light one after another, but no abnormal changes were seen in the giant vine tree.
Zhao Shu walked forward slowly. He had been activating the Yingxuan Scenery Technique just now. He saw a mixture of light and color, and there was smoke floating in the air. However, there was no strange smell in this giant vine tree, and it was even far less alive than before.
He looks weak on the outside.
"It's strange, this should be the original body of the monster." Zhao Shu raised his staff and tapped the giant vine tree, and a clear, hollow sound came from it.
"Empty?" Qian Shaobai was surprised. The orb shot out a ray of rainbow light and penetrated the giant vine tree easily.
After receiving this blow, the heavy vine tree seemed unable to support its own weight, making a series of snapping sounds, and then collapsed.
The giant tree did not fall straight down, but shattered like an avalanche and mud flow. Countless wood chips fell down, raising smoke and dust all over the sky, and there were also balls of white catkins wrapped in it.
Zhao Shu noticed something strange, secretly adjusted his breath and exhaled the turbid air, then rejected the external breath and turned to keep the fetal breath inwardly.
Just as he was about to speak, a soldier behind him accidentally inhaled sawdust and white catkins, and immediately began to cough, and the cough spread from ten to ten. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding soldiers seemed to be seriously ill, bending over and coughing non-stop.
"That's not right!" Zhao Shu slapped his tree staff, and green light rippled out like a jade bowl that was turned upside down to protect everyone. At the same time, he secretly clenched his teeth and made a disenchanting sound of jade bells to prevent evil spirits from bewitching his mind.
However, this still failed to stop the soldiers from choking and coughing. Zhao Shu stepped forward to take the pulse of one of them, and found that the blood and energy in his body were running wildly, the pulses were disordered, and a strange force invaded the internal organs.
"Poison?" Unable to find out the truth in a hurry, Zhao Shu took out the charm that suppressed the poison of the poisonous insects, burned it with a flick of his finger, and turned it into a little light and flicked it into the soldier's mouth.
However, the force within the soldier's body was so strong that there was no time to stop it. He only let out a few low screams, and his skin swelled strangely, and sharp vine branches burst out of his body!
Zhao Shu stepped back in a flash, and his expression became more solemn as he watched the soldiers' vine branches break apart one by one, turning into strange shapes of half man and half tree.
"Demon transformation?!" Qian Shaobai also reacted at this time: "When were they invaded by evil spirits?"
"It's the white catkins among the vines," Zhao Miao said.
"They accidentally inhaled some of it. How could the demon transform so quickly?" Qian Shaobai gritted his teeth and resented. He watched more than a hundred soldiers transform into demons one after another, like bloody men covered with vines.
"The white catkins in the wood are similar to medicine." Zhao Shu secretly breathed in the fetus, looked inside and said: "The fog around Liaohua County may be the cause of the demonic transformation. Once the white catkins touch the white catkins, it will immediately cause the demonic transformation...
…You and I have achieved success in cultivation, are full of true energy, can protect ourselves from external evils, and are not protected from the invasion of demonic energy.”
Qian Shaobai was shocked when he heard this: "Then the people in the city..."
"If I hadn't escaped, I'm afraid all the demons would have turned into monsters."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw shadowy figures in the distance, thousands of civilians slowly gathering like zombies. Regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young, they were all in the miserable state of vine branches torn out of their bodies, their skins shriveled, and their flesh and blood withered.
, which is unbearable to look at.
"This is a trap." Zhao Shu immediately understood the situation: "The flesh and blood vitality of ordinary people is not enough for such a big demon. It has not taken action yet, just waiting for us to get deep inside."
"Where is the monster's body?" Qian Shaobai drove the Hongying Orb, and felt that the surroundings were filled with an indescribable aura of evil, and he could not find the mastermind behind the monster's transformation into a walking corpse.
Even with his Yingxuan illumination technique, Zhao Shu could not see everything in the surrounding area. He understood that this monster was quite intelligent and it was not just invisible and invisible, but was creating a demonic atmosphere to hide in the forest with sinister intentions.
Seeing those demonic zombies approaching slowly, Zhao Shu said to Qian Shaobai: "I'm here to find the demonic body, and you protect me."
After saying this, he secretly clasped the True Essence Lock and held out the Great Ming Mirror. A circle of light emitted from the mirror surface, slowly unfolding outward.
The great mirror of the Ming Dynasty has the power of illuminating the heavens and the earth and discerning yin and yang. It is difficult for all concealment and concealment techniques to be effective in the face of such immortal magic weapons. However, when it was really activated, Zhao Shui realized that not everyone can do it with the immortal magic weapons.
Used at will.
The divine mirror shines through, and at the same time, countless lights, shadows, sounds, and colors are reflected in Zhao Shu's mind in detail. If his mind is not firm enough, he is afraid that the mirror light will fill his mind and shock his soul.
Fortunately, with Zhao Shu's current level of cultivation, he could slowly activate the Great Ming Mirror, and he could roughly have a panoramic view of Liaohua County, but it couldn't be done in an instant.
At the same time, the walking corpses whose bodies were broken by vines seemed to have received silent orders, and they let out low roars and ran towards Zhao Shu and Qian Shaobai.
Qian Shaobai didn't dare to be careless. The Hongying Orb emitted a needle-like rainbow light, easily sweeping down the dozen or so walking corpses closest to him, but the hundreds of people following behind them surged in like a tidal wave.
Come.
Suddenly, demonic winds were everywhere, strange vines were dancing wildly, and zombies were running wildly. It was completely unlike the human scene. Countless demon-turned-walking zombies surrounded Zhao Qian from all directions.
Qian Shaobai has been in battle for a long time, but this is the first time he has seen a scene like this. He made a false move, and the rainbow light rose like a wall, blocking the demon from turning into a walking corpse.
Those demonic walking zombies may seem to be powerful, but once they hit the rainbow barrier, they will be immediately burned by the fire, and their limbs will be flailing in an unorganized manner.
Qian Shaobai could see that although these people whose bodies were broken by the vines still retained a glimmer of vitality, they were no different from puppets. They had lost their minds and were allowed to be driven by monsters at will.
Thousands of zombies swarmed in, not caring about gains and losses. In the blink of an eye, they crowded outside the rainbow barrier. The zombies trampled on each other and climbed higher and higher, trying to overwhelm the rainbow barrier with their numbers.
collapse.
Seeing that the rainbow barrier was rippled endlessly and seemed unsustainable, Qian Shaobai tapped his eyebrows lightly, drawing out a wisp of his life energy, then raised his fingers and chanted:
"The arrival of the three lights suppresses the evil spirits! Disasters subside and disperse, bringing peace to the eight extremes!"
The three lights in the sky responded to the sound, and a powerful stream of sun flames fell from the sky, illuminating the surrounding areas in white, and the dazzling light made it impossible for ordinary people to look directly.
The power of the Yang Yan does not end with just one breath, but is like an immortal in the sky wielding a big pen like a rafter, swiping ink on the earth at will.
Wherever the Yang Yan passed, the demon-turned-walking zombies were instantly burned to charcoal, and the surrounding dense demonic aura was also frozen, greatly curbing the siege of the walking zombies.
The fundamental secret of Shangjingzong, "The True Purpose of Three Lights", pursues the internal cultivation of the Three Lights to achieve enlightenment, and the external cultivation of the Three Lights as Dharma. The true energy of the Three Lights can save people from diseases; the magic power of the Three Lights can subjugate ghosts, gods and spirits; and the power of the Three Lights can be proclaimed.
, can eliminate evil spirits and evil spirits; the wisdom of the three lights can break through the darkness and darkness.
The method of the Three Lights seems simple, but it requires combining the three lights of the body with the three lights of the sky. When fighting against the enemy, you can call the Three Lights to come, the sun's flames will burn the demons, the moonlight will sway the soul, and the stars will bring fortune. This is a magic technique.
The power of Dharma also corresponds to the state of cultivation.
Now Qian Shaobai can barely summon Yang Yan, but after using it, he still feels that the true energy in his body is stagnant, and he urgently needs to adjust his breath.
Fortunately, the demon-turned-walking corpses were swept away by the sun's flames, and hundreds of them were burned in an instant. The attack slowed down immediately, and they had a moment of respite.
"found it."
At this time, Zhao Shu also spoke. The Ming Dynasty mirror hung high in the air, and a beam of light emitted from the mirror, shining on a temple entwined with vines.
Zhao Mi waved his sword finger, and countless frost arrows poured out from the mirror. The north wind roared, and the snowstorm was like a tide. In the blink of an eye, the temple was turned into a blanket of silver, and ordinary vegetation was frozen to death.
But then the earth trembled, and the ground around the Frozen God's Temple suddenly rose. The vines in the city quickly became alive, moving like snakes and insects, and the surging vitality gathered in the direction of the God's Temple.
Astonishingly, a statue of a god broke through the ice, and with the city shaking, it broke out of the ground!
Looking at it, you can see that the whole body of the statue is made of wood, which is four to five feet high. Most of the paint on the surface has peeled off, but you can still see the face of a kind old woman, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, sitting cross-legged. Under her body, a dragon spreads its teeth and claws, trying to escape, but she can't.
He was firmly suppressed by the old woman.
"This is...Mrs. Zhenlong?" Qian Shaobai couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the statue appearing.
