Chapter 281 Mysterious and unpredictable corpse drive
Beiyuan, Tianshui City.
Now that Hou Jin's army of 500,000 troops was attacking, Beiyuan, which had just fallen into the hands of the Yan State, suddenly started a fierce war. There were traces of the battle between the soldiers of the Yan State and the soldiers of the Hou Jin State in every city.
The entire Beiyuan seemed to have turned into a meat grinder. Countless living lives were buried here, and the bright red blood dyed the land red.
Because these cities had just changed hands and the Yan State had not yet fully digested and absorbed them, and Wang Shiyi also had a gentle policy towards the people in the cities, so when the army of the Later Jin Dynasty attacked, cities from all sides gathered to respond, plus the masters of the Snow Mountain of the Later Jin Dynasty
The battle situation suddenly became one-sided, and the Yan army had no choice but to retreat again and again.
Nowadays, most of the territory of Beiyuan has been recovered by Hou Jin, but as the central city of the entire Beiyuan, it is still in the hands of Wang Shiyi.
Wang Shiyi squatted on the chair and looked at Beiyuan's current sand table with a hint of solemnity in his eyebrows.
Hou Jin's army of 500,000 has now lost more than 100,000. It is only a matter of time before Pingcheng, which was guarding Tianshui City, falls. When the Hou Jin army attacks, the Yan army in Tianshui City will not be able to escape.
Li Qirong was sitting on the opposite side with a pale face. Looking carefully, one of his arms was cut off by a master from the Snow Mountain yesterday. If Wang Shiyi and Wang Ningshui hadn't arrived in time, this man who had been the number one scholar for seventeen years might have died.
He died yesterday.
This also made Wang Shiyi alert. He not only sent a large number of masters to protect Li Qirong's safety, but also set up suspicious tactics around the camp to prevent him from being attacked and killed by Houjin masters again.
Wang Shiyi asked: "When will Qiulun's reinforcements arrive?"
The general below clasped his fists and said: "It will take fifteen days to report from the scouting horse."
"Fifteen days is too long."
Li Qi tolerated the pain and whispered: "Masters like Taiyin Kui have appeared. We must be careful at all times. Coupled with the current disadvantage in military strength, it is very likely that we will not be able to defend Tianshui City."
When everyone present heard Li Qirong's words, their hearts froze and their faces looked very ugly.
Wang Ningshui gritted his teeth and said, "Hou Jin is really shameless."
Grandmasters are not allowed to participate in ordinary wars at will. This is the consensus of the world and an unwritten rule. However, Hou Jin never thought of abiding by this agreement, and the army was mixed with masters.
This is because they have made up their mind to start a national war. Even if Yan State and Zhenyi Sect send masters at this moment, it is already too late.
Wang Shiyi took a deep breath and whispered: "When the White Tiger Banner and the Purple Banner attack from the north, we will face the encirclement of the three armies of the Hou Jin Dynasty."
Not only did the army of the Later Jin Dynasty have far more troops than the Yan State, but most of them were cavalry. They fought very fiercely. If they took the initiative to fight in the wild, they would mostly lose more than they won. If they were to defend the city, they would have to face the siege of masters from the Snowy Mountains.
kill.
Even if Qiulun's 100,000-strong army came for reinforcements, Yan's army would still be at a slight disadvantage.
In fact, Hou Jin sent the White Tiger Banner and the Purple Banner, and the royal court was almost empty. If Wang Shiyi was given another 300,000 troops, he would even dare to attack the Hou Jin Royal Court. It was a pity that the remaining 500,000 troops of the Yan Kingdom were not available.
Defend Zhao and Nanman.
Li Qirong said: "Withdraw your troops, wait until the three armies are encircled, and then Houjin will attack for reinforcements. Qiulun's 100,000 reinforcements may have been wiped out by Houjin's iron cavalry halfway, and there is also a 100,000-strong army of the Xueshan tribe that is also rushing towards Beiyuan.
Come, when the time comes I will be alone and helpless, and it will be too late if you want to retreat when disaster strikes."
Wang Shiyi said with some reluctance: "Do we really have to give up on the huge Beiyuan? It's winter now. We can water the city wall to form an ice wall to block Houjin."
In this land, Hou Jin suffered many casualties, but Yan soldiers also suffered many casualties.
"Let's go."
Li Qirong shook his head and sighed: "If the Demon Cult hadn't delayed Hou Jin's army of 300,000 yuan and killed a large number of masters of the Suoming Mansion, maybe our attempt to invade Beiyuan would have been just a fool's errand. This time, I will completely
We underestimated Hou Jin’s strength and determination.”
You must know that Hou Jin's army of 300,000 and many masters and masters have gone to attack Dongluo Pass. Otherwise, how could the Yan Kingdom have invaded Beiyuan Tianshui City, overlooking the hinterland of Hou Jin.
Now that they have wiped out hundreds of thousands of Shuiyun Banner troops and plundered Hou Jin's supplies in Beiyuan, he has made some gains.
"Why."
Wang Shiyi sighed heavily after hearing this.
He knew that what Li Qirong said was the most correct, and that withdrawing his troops and joining Qiulun at this moment was the best choice.
The others did not speak, waiting for Wang Shiyi to give orders.
After a long time, Wang Shiyi clenched his fists: "Retreat."
"call!"
Many people felt relieved when they heard this, and then felt a bit unwilling.
There was a trace of ferocity in Li Qirong's eyes, "The late Jin Dynasty committed atrocities on our country, and naturally we must repay them in full."
Previously, because Wang Shiyi wanted to occupy Beiyuan, he was relatively restrained in treating various cities in Beiyuan. This caused many masters and soldiers of Hou Jin to hide among the common people, which caused a lot of trouble to the soldiers of Yan State.
Now that Yan State is about to leave this place, according to Li Qirong's vicious temperament, naturally he will not withdraw his troops from Beiyuan so easily.
Then, Beiyuan was still in the hands of the Yan State, and the people of the Later Jin Dynasty suffered disaster.
They also experienced firsthand the humiliation and pain that the people of Beihuang Dao had suffered.
Bloody, killing, bullying, and ravaging methods of grassland plundering appeared in Houjin City, especially since the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom had been suppressed for too long recently, and now they completely exploded like a mountain torrent.
Tianshui City has completely turned into a purgatory.
And who is the executioner of all this?
Outside Youcheng, on the official road.
An Jing made two living puppets. One of the black dragons gave birth to Lingzhi and stayed in Youshan. The other living puppet was given to Li Fuzhou and Yi Daoyun.
The black dragon was huge and needed to be covered, and it would also attract the attention of others, so An Jing planned to walk towards Jade Capital City.
If you think about it carefully, this is the third time he has gone to Yujing City. Every time he goes to Yujing City, he is in a hurry, and this time is the same.
The Yan Kingdom's heaven-sacrifice ceremony is about to be held, and Zhongshan is also gathering from all directions, so after Anjing goes to Yujing City, he has to rush to Zhongshan on Donglin Road.
This time I went to Yujing City. In addition to going to Yujing City to handle the order to open the Tianwaitian Mountain, I also went to Xuwang Mountain to see. In addition, I visited Lu Guoyong and Zhou Xianming.
Since Anjing went to Xuwang Mountain last time and did not see King Xu, he has been worried in his heart. It has been so long and there is no news.
From the first time he met King Xu, he had a strange feeling about him, and this time his inexplicable disappearance filled An Jing's heart with doubts and confusion.
The reason for visiting Lu Guoyong is very simple. Although Lu Guoyong appears to be just an ordinary Confucian scholar, he has the world in his heart and has his own unique understanding of the situation in Yan and the world.
As for Zhou Xianming, he has been idle at home with nothing to do since he won three yuan in a row. An Jing came here just to see if he could be dragged into the demon sect.
After all, this old boy has not returned the money he borrowed.
If Youshan is the last barrier in Gyeonggi Province, then Xuwang Mountain is the last barrier in the north of Yujing City. With Anjing's foot power and running at full strength, he arrived at Xuwang Mountain in half a day.
The trees in Xuwang Mountain are tall and eerie. Even in the cold winter, it still gives people an eerie atmosphere.
After a heavy snowfall, the sky and the earth were completely the same color, and only a piece of silver could be seen, as if the whole world was decorated with silver.
The pine trees stood green in the white snow, swaying with the biting northwest wind and making a sharp and piercing whistle.
An Jing walked toward the mountains according to his memory.
Not long after, he arrived at the entrance of the secret cave. After reaching the level of a three-qi master, Anjing's sensitivity to qi was also constantly improving. Before he entered the cave, he could feel the cold air coming from him.
After entering the cave, the corpse air from the depths slowly floated over.
The last time Anjing approached this depth, this place showed a black opportunity.
But this time, there was nothing shown in the land book.
An Jing walked slowly towards the depths of the cave.
Corpse Qi is rolling in. Corpse Qi is a kind of Qi generated after death. This kind of Qi is different from Yin Qi. The impact on the body's sea of Qi is slightly less dangerous than Yin Qi, but it is more difficult than Yin Qi.
It is very troublesome to eradicate after it invades the human body.
Even if the corpse energy remains in the body for a long time, it will cause corpse transformation.
In addition to the art of poisonous poison in the Southern Barbarians, another art of exorcising corpses is also world-famous.
It is rumored that Nanman can refine the human body and exorcise the corpse not long after death. Its effect is similar to the living puppet technique, but it is higher than the living puppet technique.
The living puppet technique must be controlled by the person at all times, but the corpse exorcism technique still retains the last trace of the person's will and can complete a complete will.
The corpse energy here is getting stronger and stronger, even giving people an extremely cold feeling.
An Jing was just about to use the "Nameless Heart Sutra" to resist the corpse energy. At this moment, the jade seal of the Zhou royal family in his arms released golden rays of light, forming a light shield.
Corpse energy rolled in from all around, and all of it hit the golden light shield, making a series of surging crashing sounds.
After walking for about dozens of steps, An Jing's heart was beating rapidly, and the front suddenly became clear.
The area around this hall is the same as the cave where I met King Xu, and it is actually covered with colorful luminous stones.
Under the illumination of the transparent luminous stone, you can clearly see that the open space is filled with exquisite coffins, and the extremely rich corpse aura emanates from these coffins.
"So much corpse energy around this coffin!?"
An Jing's mind was shaken, and there was some surprise on his brows.
Is there something terrible inside these coffins?
Just when An Jing was deep in thought, a familiar figure appeared in front of him, it was King Xu.
At this moment, he was still wearing the great cloak of Xuanyi Guard Da Tiangang, sitting cross-legged on a coffin, and the corpse energy around him almost formed a vortex and rushed toward him.
So rich!
The corpse aura was so strong that An Jing almost felt a little scared.
An Jing frowned and stood watching from a distance, thinking in his heart.
next moment!
The changes suddenly rose, and the corpse energy around them surged like a tide.
"not good!"
When An Jing saw this, he quickly retreated to the rear, but by now it was too late.
The corpse energy he saw in front of him was like a vast ocean, hitting the golden light shield heavily, like sea water hitting a rock, and An Jing's internal organs were shaken.
The violent impact is still continuing, constantly attacking Anjing, but fortunately, the Great Zhou Dynasty's national jade seal protects the body, forming an airtight light shield, blocking the surging corpse energy.
About dozens of breaths passed, and the corpse energy became more and more surging.
At this moment, King Xu suddenly opened his eyes, as if a sharp light emerged from his eyes. He stretched out his palm, and all the corpse energy like a vast ocean dispersed.
Peace was restored again.
An Jing moved his hands and feet, looked at Prince Xu in front of him and said, "Prince Xu?"
"Jing'an, we meet again."
A smile appeared on King Xu's pale face.
Seeing Prince Xu call out his former pseudonym, An Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
King Xu glanced at An Jing and then said slowly: "It's a long story. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
An Jing nodded slightly, and the two sat down cross-legged.
Due to the accumulation of a large amount of corpse energy, a faint chill continued to erode his body, and the "Nameless Heart Sutra" began to circulate, dispelling the cold energy in his body.
Not to mention ordinary experts, even ordinary masters would be extremely uncomfortable if they broke into this place.
King Xu said in a deep voice: "You saved me in the first place, so you should know that there is no memory in my mind. I only have the thought of coming to King Xu Mountain in my mind."
"And after I arrived at the cave in King Xu Mountain, my deepest memory was hidden deep inside. Only by entering the depths of this place could I find my lost memory, so after hesitating for a long time, I finally walked in here."
An Jing asked: "Have you found it?"
He was also curious about King Xu's identity and origin.
King Xu did not answer An Jing's words, but asked: "Do you know what is in this coffin?"
An Jing shook his head: "I don't know."
King Xu took a deep breath and said: "There are corpses inside, or corpses refined with special techniques. These are the corpses refined by the Nanman's unique corpse exorcism technique."
An Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at the coffins around him.
The Nanman Corpse Exorcism Technique is miraculous, but it is not as easy to refine as others imagine. It requires not only an intact corpse, but also techniques, materials, and martial arts that are still lost.
The more powerful a corpse is in life, the more difficult it is to refine it into a corpse, and most of the corpses are very weak. Not only that, because the people who refine corpses often deal with corpses, their bodies will gradually be infected by corpse energy.
Most of the people who suffer from infection are short-lived.
Therefore, over time, the art of exorcising corpses gradually declined in the Southern Barbarians.
Seeing so many corpses at this moment, An Jing was naturally a little surprised, but what King Xu said next was like a ground-breaking shock, setting off a storm in An Jing's heart.
Prince Xu said: "And I am also one of the many corpse chasers."
"Jing'an."
Just as An Jing was walking outside, King Xu shouted.
An Jing turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
King Xu sighed: "It seems that I can't help you in the future. I have to stay here for a long time, otherwise my body will continue to fester at any time. If you are in urgent need of my help, you can crush the remaining broken jade at any time."
An Jing smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. You have already repaid the debt I owe you for saving your life."
King Xu opened his lips and said: "My body needs the familiar Qi of Yin Han to continue to maintain. If you can find such a treasure of heaven and earth, I hope you can give it to me. I will definitely repay this kindness."
of."
An Jing patted Prince Xu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, if there is any, I will definitely send it to you."
"Thank you very much."
King Xu raised the corner of his mouth and showed a smile.
"gone."
An Jing waved his hand and walked out of the cave.
Looking at the figure dissipating in the corpse air, King Xu looked at his extremely pale and wrinkled hands, and his face could not help but darken.
After walking out of the cave, An Jing frowned.
I couldn't help but think of the two times I met King Xu. Somehow, I always felt that King Xu had something to hide from him, and he didn't tell him everything.
It sounds incredible that exorcism gave birth to spiritual intelligence.
What kind of terrifying secret art is the Southern Barbarian corpse exorcism technique?
After thinking for a moment, An Jing didn't have any clue, but meeting King Xu this time was enough to settle a matter in his mind. He didn't think about it any more and rushed towards Yujing City.
The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier. This year's winter seems to be colder than previous winters. The sun is shrouded in gloomy clouds, giving people a feeling of being breathless.
Another day and night passed, An Jing arrived at Wangjing Mountain outside Yujing City.
At this time, Wangjing Mountain was also covered with heavy snow, wrapped in silver, and everything you could see was vast.
An Jing carried two jars of wine and came to Jiang Sanjia's tombstone.
Suddenly, I discovered that there were two empty wine jars placed in front of the tombstone.
"Has anyone been here?"
An Jing raised his eyebrows. Jiang Sanjia had an eccentric nature and offended many people. He didn't have many friends in the temple or the world.
Who will come?
However, An Jing didn't think much about it. Instead, he picked up the wine jar and sat cross-legged on the snow, drinking wine while reminiscing with Jiang Sanjia.
"Brother Sanjia, it's winter again."
"Xiao Qianqiu's strength lies in the four qi, and he has sensed the telepathy between heaven and man. If he only has such strength on the surface, he may not be my opponent."
"It's almost time to take out the Dulu Sword and set foot on Zhenyi Mountain. However, Hou Jin and Yan are at war, and we don't know what the situation will be like. This matter may have to be put on hold for a while."
"Now that the world is about to be in chaos, they all want the country and the world. Whose country and world does it belong to? You are proficient in calculations. I wonder if you can calculate it."
"Can this Xuanmen still be established? Who will be the Taoist master of this Xuanmen then?"
"Also, Mu Xiaowan is dead, and Mu Xiaoyun is also dead."
After chatting for a long time, the sky became dark.
An Jing threw the empty wine jar aside, "It's time to go. I'll chat with you next time when I have time."
With that said, An Jing stood up.
The wind and snow roared in, like a knife being scraped on the face.
At this moment, a figure in black appeared in the distance. His footsteps were so light that he made almost no sound in the snow.
This person is none other than Meng Zhaodou, the leader of the Dragnet.
An Jing said with a smile: "Chief Meng, long time no see."
Meng Zhaodou looked at the young man in white clothes in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The ghost swordsman who stood behind Lou Xiangzhen was now the top master in the world, no, in the world.
"I came here to tell you some information."
"Please say."
"The man from Lingnan Road has been identified."
"Oh? Who is this person?"
When An Jing heard this, a glint appeared in his eyes.
The Tianluo Diwang is indeed the number one intelligence organization in the Yan Kingdom, and it actually found out the identity of the fake person.
Meng Zhaodou said calmly: "Thousand-faced Shura, one of the eight great evils of Black Ice Platform, should be slightly stronger than Qu Renlin, ranking around the third or fourth of the eight great evils."
