"The horse was frightened for some reason. He left me and ran away, and then I walked back!"
Dong Zhongshu and others made a tactical retreat, and waited until Weng Weng recovered before going to look for the snake. The two of them only saw a muddy land.
In that muddy land, the snake disappeared without a trace, not even leaving a trace of the opponent's huge body crushing the ground.
This made Dong Zhongshu melancholy in the county governor's mansion all night.
Wen Weng also spent the entire night melancholy in the governor's mansion.
The difference is that the former lamented that he had lost the opportunity to enter the solitary realm and that his fate was full of twists and turns, while Wen Weng was worried about the hidden dangers Ba Snake would bring to Shu County.
The two also hoped that Zhang Xuezhou, the monk who finally returned, would have some relevant information, but the result of the inquiry was disappointing.
Zhang Xuezhou jumped to the rear, unable to finish his work and even lost his horse.
Shu County, which was not considered wealthy to begin with, lost two horses in this battle, and one horse went crazy after its tail was broken off.
But the loss of the county magistrate's office was secondary. Thinking about the bulge in the belly of the snake, Wen Weng felt that bad news would be reported soon.
And this also requires them to deal with the Ba Snake as soon as possible.
"Brother Zhongshu, I'm afraid this matter needs to be reported to the court immediately," Weng Weng said with a frown.
"It will take at least a month for you to report it to the court for a reply," Dong Zhongshu said: "The more troublesome problem is that no one will come to help kill the snake!"
"Why can't someone come to such a big event that brings disaster to a whole place?"
"Who do you think will come?"
"We, the Han Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty, were civil and military..."
Wen Weng looked slightly angry just now, but when he recalled the faces of many civil and military officials in the imperial court, he felt that only few people could come.
If we say that Zhou Taiwei was diligent in his duties, Zhou Taiwei is already dead.
Prime Minister Liu She adhered to the philosophy of not doing anything wrong, and was extremely sensible and self-protective. He would not travel thousands of miles away. Dong Zhongshu even mentioned that his status was unstable and was reprimanded several times by Emperor Jing.
However, the imperial censor has always been low-key and restrained in his official duties, and everything is done according to the previous system. The other party only wants to secure Chang'an City, and there is no way he would have the idea of involving in Shu County to cause trouble.
The military generals Cheng Bushi, Li Guang and others involved in the imperial court were not within the normal scope of transfer.
As for going down the road, when Wen Weng turned his attention to Wei Qihou Dou Ying, Wu'an Hou Tianfu and others, he felt that it was impossible for these relatives of the emperor to come to do the hard work.
It seems that there are many civil and military officials in the dynasty, but only few people can come to Shu County.
In the past, Emperor Jing lamented that no one was available, and Wen Weng felt that there were few available people for some reason at this time.
"It would be better if my strength were lower!"
Wen Weng finally sighed.
If he was just a supernatural power monk, some of the twenty or so solipsistic monks in the court might come, but he has the strength of the solipsistic realm and cannot solve the problem. Any monk of the same level would hesitate when taking over the problem.
"Your strength is lower? What if there is someone whose ability is not as good as yours?" Dong Zhongshu reminded him: "Don't think about that!"
"Zhao Wan, Wang Zang and others are more powerful than me," Wen Weng said, "They will definitely be able to solve the problem."
"Those two old guys can't ride a horse and can only ride in a carriage. Casting spells in the city is fine, but casting spells after running around in the wild is..."
Dong Zhongshu spread his hands and did not continue.
Compared with monks like Wen Weng, other monks have more disadvantages, and after aging, many monks find it difficult to bear the pain of traveling and working hard.
Shu County is not near Chang'an City. If it were near Chang'an City, all the civil and military officials would be tired from traveling hundreds of miles.
They are thousands of miles apart, and there are many rough mountains and rivers on the road. It took Dong Zhongshu more than a month to come, and it would take even longer for others to come.
And such a long time is enough for the Ba snake to wreak havoc.
If Ba Snake's target was Shujun City, it would be no surprise that all the people in this city would be eaten by the time they were rescued.
Wen Weng, Dong Zhongshu and others can only find a way to solve Ba Snake's future troubles. Asking the court for help will not be of any use, and even a little water from afar can't save the Shu County City from this close fire.
"The most important thing right now is to find the whereabouts of Ba Snake," Dong Zhongshu said, "Then let's see if we can set up an ambush!"
The biggest reason why last night's attack failed was due to a collision halfway. This kind of short-distance and rapid contact rarely gave the magician time to cast the spell.
The size and strength of Ba She were so different from what Weng Weng had previously described, which also caught the two of them off guard.
The dark night and heavy rain brought a harsh environment for casting spells.
For various reasons, the success of killing the Ba Snake fell short.
"This kind of monster is too big, so it will be difficult to set up an ambush," Weng Weng said with a frown.
"Not to mention setting up a trap to trap the snake, as long as you cast a spell to restrain it for a moment, my spell can break its head!"
If there are enough external supporting conditions, Dong Zhongshu believes that he is still capable of defeating Ba Snake.
He is not a master on paper like Wen Weng, but a real master in practice.
The higher the realm, the more difficult the skills you practice and the greater the power they bring, but you still need to be able to master the skills and even use them skillfully.
If he played against Wen Weng in twos, as long as he kept a certain distance, he could defeat the opponent easily.
Dong Zhongshu still has enough confidence in Ba She, who is also chaotic and ignorant.
The giant snake's size is a great advantage for many people, but for some spellcasters, it is a big enough target that they can hit even if they throw spells with their eyes closed.
Having had the first contact, Dong Zhongshu believed that he would never make the same mistake the second time.
"The people from the Sheriff's Mansion have already gone to Taipingyan to patrol and check. Once they find any traces of Ba Snake, they will report back." Wen Weng nodded and responded: "I will carefully think about setting up an ambush!"
Wen Weng and Dong Zhongshu finished discussing the relevant issues and then hurriedly left holding hands.
"It seems that Governor Wen doesn't want to cast a spell on Ba Snake!"
Seeing Wen Weng leaving in a hurry, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but hissed.
"His technique is almost ineffective against Ba Snake. There is only one method of turning water into a prison that he has never tried." Dong Zhongshu said sadly: "But it takes at least half a stick of incense for him to perform the method of turning water into a prison. If he sets an ambush, he will risk his life!"
"I think Wenjun's military training is very high, so why is his actual combat ability not as good as yours?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"He emphasizes the realm but not the techniques. He only has the realm but lacks the skills to take advantage of it. However, this is also the most common practice method in our Han Dynasty." Dong Zhongshu said: "The techniques practiced when the realm level is low are almost useless when the realm is high.
, most people don’t want to waste time on useless spells.”
"I think some low-end techniques are quite useful," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"There are 683 low-end techniques in the Han Dynasty in the True Spirit Realm, but the effect of each technique is not as good as slashing with a knife." Dong Zhongshu said: "You said that the low-end techniques are quite useful.
What kind?"
"I learned a Taiqing technique, and I think it's quite useful."
"Don't mistake the second-class high-grade magic as a low-end magic. Even the first part of this kind of magic is a high-level magic."
Dong Zhongshu pursed his lips, feeling that the technique Zhang Xuezhou mentioned was beyond the scope of normal monks.
For normal monks, most people can only come into contact with low-end techniques such as the 'Female Object Tracking Technique' and 'Small Spark Technique' in the early stages of their practice.
These techniques are purely hands-on skills and rarely have suitable situations.
The techniques mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou are already heavy techniques, which is a level that is difficult for normal monks to access.
Firstly, this important technique is under the control of the military, and secondly, this technique cannot be spread wantonly.
For example, Zhang Xuezhou's Taiqing Zhenshu requires continuous recovery of injuries before it is possible to improve the skill's ability. Once it is spread wantonly, monks will inevitably create injuries to practice.
Today I cut off my hands, tomorrow I cut off my arms, and the day after tomorrow I cut my belly and heart.
As long as it can bring enough rewards, the dark side in the hearts of some monks will inevitably expand rapidly, and they will do whatever it takes to master these useful techniques to the extreme.
Zhang Xuezhou asked a few questions in confusion. When Dong Zhongshu explained, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but look shocked.
In the past, Ren Wuyan warned Zhang Xuezhou not to spread the spiritual enhancement chapter wantonly, and later Dong Zhongshu said that the spread of advanced techniques should be strictly controlled.
Zhang Xuezhou originally thought that this was a matter of high-level control of knowledge circulation, but he did forget the multifaceted diversity of people.
The consequences of wanton dissemination will inevitably be a disaster that is difficult to disappear.
