Chapter 79: Coming and not going back and forth is also indecent
“Take a look, take a look, look at the wood carving show from the south of the Yangtze River~~”
"The black-faced Zhang Fei, the red-faced Guan Yunchang, and the infatuated Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu!"
Boom~
The gong was ringing on the street, and a donkey cart carrying a small stage was parked on the street. The loud shouts attracted passers-by. The people in the city gathered around and watched the wooden figures on the stage being manipulated in human hands.
With the lines of the person below, I felt novel, and the performance was wonderful, and cheers broke out from time to time.
Lively sounds On the second floor of the street tea shop, people are noisy. Literati and elegant guests are chatting about the war in the north. There are also rich people who have a chance to sit for a while. Merchants are drinking tea and chatting here. Cheers are heard, and many people rush to the guardrail.
Looking down at the small stage, they were whispering to each other.
Amid the din of people, Qingxu glanced down at the table in the corner against the guardrail, smiled, raised his glass and signaled to Xu Qingfeng opposite.
"Pindao was very surprised when he heard that Senior Brother Xu was coming. With your temperament, you should not leave the Canglan River."
"Then you will be surprised twice."
Xu Qingfeng took a sip of tea, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "It's only been more than a month, but I have gone down the mountain twice. The first time was to chase people away, but this time, it was the same person."
Taoist Qingxu knew who the other party was talking about. His nephew Fei He came back and talked about the underground monsters, and there was also a festival between Chen Yuan and Canglan Sword Sect. How could he be chatting and reminiscing about old times when he came here?
"...Pindao was lucky enough to meet the person that Junior Brother Xu was talking about once."
"Oh? What does Junior Brother Qingxu think of him?"
Qingxu closed his eyes and replied simply: "There is no distinction between good and evil in law, and there is good and evil in people."
"How could I not know this?" Xu Qingfeng was also quite distressed about what happened in the door. When he came here, he saw corpses everywhere and felt angry in his heart. He also heard the news about the destruction of 30,000 Yuejie cavalry. You must know that the Heavenly Master
People in the government would never do such a thing. The evil monks lived in a simple way and would not attract anyone's attention. The information came from prying eyes.
He admired this young man named Chen Yuan more and more. He did not hesitate to destroy his own path, but also vented his bad breath for the people.
But the disciple of the North Academy died in his hands, and the head brother told him to take him back. The feeling of being caught in the middle was extremely tangled.
Outside, the gong rang, cheers came here, and even a group of people watching the show from a distance on the second floor also cheered.
"Now that I know it, Senior Brother Xu should just turn a blind eye and go back first. Now that the Yuejie incident is over, I will personally come to your sect on behalf of the Heavenly Master to make peace. Let's talk about the underground demons. This matter is also of great concern.
After the incident was reported, the Heavenly Master felt that there was something fishy about Priest Yuejie going south with the army, and whether it had something to do with it."
Xu Qingfeng nodded.
"The Tianshi Mansion is the guarantor, and I can easily communicate with the head brother, but there is one thing. I still need to meet Chen Yuan. Do you know where he is?"
The noisy noise was still coming. Qingxu looked at the sword head of Canglan South Court opposite with some disbelief, but finally, he spoke.
"I don't know. He may still be in Hezhou, or he may have gone elsewhere, but if he wants to kill Hu, he must go north."
The sun rose up among the clouds, then slanted down to hang on the red-hot clouds in the west. On the road to the north, fast horses were galloping. In the extending direction, in the Jin military camp, Chen Yuan, as the two people said, was in a remote corner.
, he carved and split the wood sent by the soldiers, and carved a simple wooden figure of the same size as a human in his hands, and then lit the incense candle and inserted it into the ground.
In the distance, there were soldiers shouting and cursing, and some soldiers who understood the Yuejie language were asking questions. The companions who knew how to write took pens and ink to write down the names one by one on the paper.
The Yuejie people are mainly tribal, and many of the soldiers in the army have tribesmen they are familiar with. It is not an exaggeration to know someone who knows twenty or thirty names.
There were also Yuejie people who were tough-talking and refused to speak. Chen Yuan let out a dozen black insects to fly away and slowly ate their toes or fingers, watching the flesh disappear little by little. Those who were tough-talking wanted to kill all three generations of their ancestors.
speak out.
More than a dozen Yuejie Hu people, who probably named two to three hundred people, wrote three pieces of paper and handed it to Gongsun Li. He took these and came to behind Chen Yuan with some doubts, wanting to ask, but it was obvious that the other party
I was busy and didn't want to be disturbed, so I asked in a low voice to the two Taoist priests of Tianshi Mansion who had been looking at Chen Yuan.
"At first I didn't know what he was going to do..." Taoist Mingguang glanced at the densely packed names of Yuejie and Hu on the paper, and then looked at the simple portrait carved by Chen Yuan, and he had a clear idea in his mind.
"...This should be a type of overpowering technique."
Prince Qing listened in a daze, and had never heard of the art of victory. He just looked at the rough figures and the serious tone of the Taoist priests, and felt a chill for no reason.
"This Taoist priest, I'd like to lend you some yellow talismans."
After finishing the sixth one, which was enough for the time being, Chen Yuan packed up his tools and asked the Mingguang Taoist priest over there for six pieces of talisman paper. After using cinnabar to press the names of Yue Jie and Hu on the roster, he outlined two names.
The word 'Edict' is written in the corner of the talisman paper.
Then it was burned in front of the wooden man.
In an instant, King Qing rubbed his eyes vigorously and saw the appearance of the wooden figure. The outline of the figure gradually became clearer, and the faces of the two wooden figures also became different.
"This this……"
Even though he thought something mysterious would happen, Gongsun Li couldn't help but marvel when he saw the changes in the wooden figures. "Sir, are you going to use these two wooden figures to deal with Yuejie's army?"
"Today they killed people and abused animals, humiliating us and other Han people..." Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, "How can revenge be overnight? It's disrespectful to come and go without going back. I will also give them a big gift."
Watching Chen Yuan walk to the bullock cart and lie down on the cart to rest. Prince Qing Gongsun Li looked at the two wooden figures with some disbelief. At this time, a fast horse galloped in from the camp gate and asked Prince Qing where he was.
He ran straight here, and when he saw Prince Qing's figure, he jumped off his horse, half-kneeling and clasping his fists.
"Your Highness, this is a letter sent by His Majesty."
Since Yuejie sent 30,000 cavalry back to Hezhou, they have not dared to act rashly. At this time, a letter came over, and Gongsun Li hurriedly took the letter and unfolded it in his hand.
His eyes quickly scanned the vertical contents on it, with joy on his face, and he quickly handed the letter to the other two royal brothers. Immediately, he punched his palm with a fist, and looked at the two Taoist priests excitedly.
"Excellent news. The two Taoist priests know that the 30,000 Yuejie cavalry mentioned in the letter destroyed the Ruihe River in one day and blocked the river. No wonder the Yuejie people have not moved their troops in the past few days."
Mingguang frowned a little.
"Your Highness, do you think that annihilating 30,000 cavalry in one day is a bit exaggerated? Even 30,000 sheep can escape, let alone war horses."
Another Taoist priest named Yuchen echoed: "Unless someone casts a spell."
The three of them looked at each other for some reason, turned their heads in tacit understanding, and looked at the figure resting on the car.
Gongsun Li felt for a moment that there was no way those two wooden men could really accomplish anything.
…
The setting sun in the west sheds its last trace of orange, and darkness sweeps in like a tide.
The howls of wolves could be heard in the distant barren mountains.
In the fire-lit Yuejie military camp, on the quiet guard tower of the gate, Yuejie soldiers yawned and chatted with their companions beside them.
Phew~
A gust of wind blew over, and the light of the torch inserted in the sentry tower was extinguished. Amidst the chatter of small words, one of the two people suddenly stopped, and subconsciously looked outside the sentry tower, and saw the gray field in the distance. Wisps of water mist drifted in the wind.
'squeak'
There was an imperceptible soft sound in the darkness. One Yuejie man bent his bow and nocked an arrow, while another lit a fire and shot it across the field with a whoosh.
The fire light streaked through the darkness, and a black shadow stood out in the area where it fell.
"people?"
The two looked at each other and were about to shoot an arrow. As if they were dazzled, the black shadow that was originally more than ten feet away suddenly came to a distance of seven or eight feet, and they saw that it was actually a wooden figure. The face is engraved and looks familiar.
The man who lit the fire looked carefully for a moment, then looked at his companion next to him.
"Tuji, it looks a lot like you."
The companion next to him pushed him away, and this time he shot an arrow, nailing the wooden man on the forehead and knocking him down.
"Your archery skills have improved again!" The Yuejie Hu man who spoke saw that the wooden man was hit in the head by an arrow and praised him, but there was no reply for a long time.
He turned his head and saw that his companion who was still talking had a bloody hole in his forehead and fell backwards.
"Tuji!"
The Yuejie man shook his companion at a loss, and after taking a breath, he realized that the other party was dead. He quickly stood up and looked outside the sentry tower. In the gray night, the wooden man who had been hit by the arrow was still there. , but there was another black shadow behind, looking this way.
He blinked lightly, and looked again, and saw that the black figure was next to the wooden man who fell to the ground. It was also a wooden man, and his appearance was vaguely similar to his.
The Yuejie Hu man wanted to draw his bow in a panic, but thinking of the fate of his companions, he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly got off the sentry tower. As soon as he landed, the wooden man had quietly reached about two feet of the camp gate, exactly like him. On his face, sculpted eyes stared straight at him.
More than a dozen soldiers on guard at the gate were warming up a bonfire. When they saw the archer upstairs hurriedly coming down, and making some sarcastic jokes, some of them noticed the wooden figure about two feet tall, but in the blink of an eye, it stood there. In front of him, there was only a gate.
"what is it?!"
"When did you come?"
The soldiers gathered around the fire to keep warm and drew their swords one after another, but the Yuejie archers who came down shouted: "Don't cut it..."
Before he finished speaking, a soldier had already slashed through the gap in the camp door with a knife, and the knife edge fell on the wooden man's shoulder and neck. The Yuejie archer who was still shouting fell silent for an instant. Ring-shaped red marks suddenly appeared on his neck, and then gradually Zoom in, oozing blood.
For a moment, there was chaos on the Yuanmen side.
