The sound of the bell swayed far away, like a wave, invading and rolling in all directions.
And Tang Zhao and the others were in the middle of the wave.
When the bell rang from beside Tang Zhao, Tang Zhao's whole body stopped shaking.
It was his eardrums that began to vibrate, and the close impact almost shattered his ears.
Then came the body. The vibration spread from the ears to the whole body. The skin, blood, joints, and five internal organs seemed to have entered a resonance rhythm and could not stop trembling.
Then came the power. Under the vibration, he involuntarily released Gang Qi. As soon as the Gang Qi appeared, it vibrated violently, like a shaken egg yolk. It condensed and shook for a while, fighting with the sound wave, and barely remained stable.
In the end, it was his soul that was shaken!
This was his own feeling. The shock came from the outside in, invading inch by inch, just like the suppression when encountering Longwei, but it was not the suppression of suppression, but the constant vibration. Under the trembling of the soul,
He became shocked, frightened, disgusted...
Fortunately, at this moment, the bell stopped.
Tang Zhao lowered his head as if he was about to vomit, but he did not vomit in the end. However, his whole body felt extremely uncomfortable and he could hardly stand. He held on to the gravel next to him and felt dizzy for a while before slowly getting better.
He raised his head and saw Zhang Rong standing next to the clock. His expression changed and he was obviously shocked. The sword at his waist had already been unsheathed three inches.
Tang Zhao did not expect that he had experienced so many battles, held fairy swords and power swords, defeated demons and swordsmen, destroyed the well-planned plots of turtle bandits, and faced the soul pressure of Long Wei and Bailing Cannon, but he was almost killed by a
The bell shook.
This reminded him of Zhu Yang's theory.
If the soul is not strong, it is ultimately weak in origin.
If you are not a swordsman, your soul is your biggest weakness. Gang Qi can protect your body, but it cannot protect your deeper soul. No matter how strong your body is, it can still be penetrated by certain moves.
It must be fundamentally strong.
Thinking about it, Tang Zhao calmed down and said with a smile: "Let sir laugh."
Zhang Rong shook his head and said: "The ringing of the bell is so powerful that I can hardly defend myself. My sword almost has to be unsheathed to protect me."
Tang Zhao was even more stunned. He originally thought that Zhang Rong could protect himself with the strength of a swordsman, but he didn't expect that Zhang Rong could defend himself with only his Gang Qi. It seemed that Zi Zai Gang had combined his firm will and was indeed better.
He can try it when he has time.
Then, his attention was drawn back to the bell itself, and he said: "The sound of this bell is so powerful. Isn't it really a magic weapon? You can still hit it with a folding fan. If you really hit the bell seriously, not to mention that the whole city will die and retreat."
The heroic soldiers are not an exaggeration."
Although Tang Zhao is not as good as Zhang Rong, he is also a decent Sanren, and his Gangqi can barely protect himself from the sound of bells. However, no matter how strong the elite soldiers of the previous dynasty were, not even a single knight could do it. How could he withstand such a bell?
He still didn't believe it, so he checked it carefully again, and even quietly took out his glasses to look at it.
Glasses……
The glasses don't show up.
The glasses do not display everything, wood, stone, scrap iron, etc. will not be displayed. They will only display swords, symbols, text and other related things. The glasses do not display, which proves that this is not a magic weapon or magic weapon, it is just a form.
A broken clock on top, essentially a pile of scrap metal.
However, what happened to the bell just now?
Tang Zhao was worried and took out a small hammer to ring the bell - as a serious talisman sword master, it was normal for him to carry a hammer with him, right?
However, when he rang the bell with gold and iron, it still made an "empty" decaying sound, which was incomprehensible.
Zhang Rong said: "I'll do it."
Seeing that he was about to ring the bell with the folding fan again, Tang Zhao couldn't help but step back and took out a longevity lock from the jar.
Zhang Rong naturally knew that it was a magic weapon, but he was confused as to why the longevity lock was used as a magic weapon.
Tang Zhao would never say that this was a legacy from his parents, and it had the origin of torture. After he became a talisman sword master, he made the Longevity Lock into a protective weapon.
Swordsmanship - draw the ground as a prison!
This is a Yuanjutsu weapon that Xingji gave to Tang Zhao. At that time, Tang Zhao thought it was a protective wall. Later, after recording the Bi'an Sword in the sword manual, he realized that it turned out to be a punishment, a prison sentence, that is, a confinement. But to put himself
It is enclosed and outsiders cannot come close, which is naturally equivalent to protection.
After wrapping himself tightly to prevent wind and rain from leaking out, Tang Zhao took out a jar and container specially used to absorb wind materials, indicating that he could start.
when--
In the wilderness, the bells that made countless creatures stand on end echoed constantly.
Not far from the bell tower, a woman was secretly observing with a very frightened expression.
However, that frightened expression could not last long. As the bell kept ringing, her figure turned from solid to insubstantial, from light to dark, and finally almost became a ball of light and shadow.
"No...I can't do it anymore."
In the end, the woman's shadow made a gesture of covering her ears amidst the ringing of the bell, and fled. She was running away. She couldn't even maintain the outline of her hands covering her ears. Her figure running away seemed like a shadow.
A group of will-o'-the-wisps.
Tang Zhao and Tang Zhao, who were ringing the bell and collecting the bells, didn't even notice that a master who was confident that he could eradicate them was silently knocked back.
After a while, as the sun set, Tang Zhao collected a large number of bells, filled nine large jars, and returned home with a full load.
Zhang Rong supported the clock and said: "It's really a treasure. I want to move it away, but destroying a historic site like this really ruins the scenery."
Tang Zhao nodded. In fact, he also wanted to move the clock away, but he seemed to have no connection with it and couldn't knock it. If he moved it to his home, he could only sell it as scrap.
Let this bell stay quietly with the ancient city, moss and sunset.
After the business was done, both of them felt relaxed and stood on the moss-covered tower overlooking the ancient times.
Tang Zhao stroked the masonry on the bell tower and found that although the masonry below the vines was old, it was still very hard, with almost no scratches or other injuries visible on the surface.
He lightly scratched with Gang Qi. The Gang Qi was like a knife, but the sharp blade could not penetrate the stone. He increased his strength, but it only penetrated three inches into the brick. The resistance was already very strong when he went in further, and even made a harsh sound.
The friction sound.
Tang Zhao couldn't help but wonder: "How did you burn the bricks and stones? It's harder than today's city walls. It doesn't look like a talisman was added to it. Is this a special method of the previous dynasty?"
Speaking of which, the previous dynasty not only suppressed swordsmen, but also developed very slowly in the Lianfu style. However, it always left behind many strange creations and legends, as if it was another system or even another civilization.
Zhang Rong said: "It should have been fired with a special formula from the early Wei Dynasty, and the materials are different from those commonly used today. Nowadays, the formula and materials have been lost. This is normal, because the enemies are different. The city walls back then were to defend against swordsmen and heavy swordsmen.
When attacking the city by force, the first priority was to prevent cutting and slashing, followed by crossbows and impact, so the hardness of the city bricks was specially reinforced. Not to mention anything else, the army of heavy swordsmen formed by the founding of this dynasty had one hand per man.
Standard magic weapons can cut iron like clay and are indestructible. No heavy weapons are needed to attack a city. Even the current city wall may not be able to defend it. There is nothing we can do against such a city wall."
"The situation is different now. The city wall does not need to guard against swordsmen and heavy swordsmen. The swordsmen are stationed to defend themselves. Instead, they have to guard against evil spirits and spiritual officials who are remnants of the previous dynasty. Therefore, the main purpose is to superimpose various talismans to deal with all kinds of evil spirits.
The moves are all restrained. The effect is also very good. Even though many city walls are now in disrepair and many talismans have been destroyed, it is still difficult for the phantoms outside to invade. Unless the devil's cave comes directly to the city, the demons, phantoms, etc. in the devil's cave outside are still difficult to invade.
Evil things rarely can invade directly beyond the city wall. This is why cities are safer than villages, and big cities are safer than small ones."
Tang Zhao nodded. Nowadays, evil disasters occur frequently. People abandon small villages and small towns and move to big cities and villages. In fact, it is not to gather people to protect themselves, but to rely on large numbers to resist evil. What skills do the people have? No matter how many people there are, we can prevent evil.
Beasts and robbers, can they still guard against the phantom?
On the contrary, when too many people gather and the phantom attacks, the casualties become more severe.
The reason why people are gathered together is to facilitate the construction of walls and shields with special effects. These fortifications cost a lot of money and cannot be built casually. Only large towns with tens of thousands of people can afford to build them. And the larger the city, the more difficult it is.
The more prepared you are, the less likely you are to be harmed. Therefore, wealthy families have to abandon their manors and hide in big cities with their families.
If Zhaocheng hadn't been unlucky enough to be trapped by the Hollow Demon's Cave, there shouldn't have been any danger. Yunzhou has good governance, relatively rich finances, city walls are often renovated, and Zhuocheng is one of the few majestic cities, even if the Demon's Cave descends on it.
Even if you close the city gate, you can protect the safety of the people in the city.
"The spirit officer and the phantom are one and the same. To guard against the phantom is to guard against the spirit officer. It is said that the more powerful the spirit officer is, the more suppressed he is after crossing the city wall. Even the spirit image cannot be released in the city. I just don't know if the spirit officer of this dynasty will.
Bad luck will follow."
Zhang Rong smiled and said: "The spiritual officers in this dynasty are not powerful at all. Most of them only serve as auxiliary positions, so they are less suppressed. Even if there are occasionally powerful spiritual officers, they should have special methods to not be affected." He sighed.
He said, "Even if there were really powerful spiritual officials, no one would dare to entrust him with important positions due to various taboos. However, Marquis Gao Yuan has extraordinary courage, embraces all rivers, and has spiritual officials as officials under his command."
Tang Zhao thought of Peng Yiming. Indeed, compared with the methods of the spiritual officials he saw at the Fu Conference, Peng Yiming's spiritual skills were too little. At most, he only accounted for his beauty and was more like an assistant. Therefore, although he was senior, he could not
Regardless of the official position, the heavy responsibility of the Prosecution Department also belongs to the swordsman.
It seems that the spiritual officials of the previous dynasty were not affected by the reversal of appearance and could adjust the appearance of the spirit according to their own wishes. Although it was pleasing to the eye, the appearance of the spirit was carefully modified and adjusted according to the standard beauty, which turned out to be ingenuity.
, it is also a pity that many of the stunning spiritual features that are completely natural are missing.
The two chatted casually, chanted many times from ancient times to the present, and felt nostalgic about this situation. In the end, Zhang Rong actually composed a poem, but Tang Zhao could not think of new words, so he only recited an ancient tune.
:
"The peaks and ridges are like clusters, the waves are like raging, the mountains and rivers are inside and outside the Tongguan Road. Looking at the Western Capital, I am hesitant. I am sad. Wherever the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been turned into soil. When it rises, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer!"
After chanting, the two of them returned home with a lot of harvest.
When the two of them walked away, the bell trembled slightly.
Under the giant clock, a little girl in red clothes crawled out and smiled slightly in the direction where the two people left.
