For the next three days, the army rested in the military camp.
During the day, Zhang Sui used his land-awareness skills from time to time to look for any traces of foreigners.
Not to mention, for two days in a row, he found some aliens who came to spy. Needless to say, the result was that after he pointed out the location, Youde led his troops and directly captured the aliens who were spying.
On the third day, except for the group of captives, there was no trace of aliens within a radius of a hundred miles.
It seems that after the Kongming tribe suffered such losses, they also knew that the small group of people coming over would not have much effect, so they did not send anyone to get closer.
Everyone in the army was extremely amazed when they saw Zhang Sui's method of searching for enemies.
Mr. Feng even tentatively asked if this method could be taught to others. Zhang Sui smiled and explained: "This method involves the inheritance of the master. With my current ability, I cannot teach it to others."
Mr. Feng had no choice but to give up after hearing this.
In the past few days, apart from searching for the Kongming clan, Zhang Sui had not been idle at other times.
Mr. Feng personally brought a large box of jade, no less than a hundred yuan in size.
The number exactly corresponds to the two statues, each with fifty jade tokens.
For Zhang Sui now, making the four-image jade plaque is easy and very fast.
But in order to avoid trouble, I still spent a day in my tent to make these jade tablets.
When Zhang Sui asked Mr. Feng to come over to pick up the things, Mr. Feng's eyes shone brightly when he looked at the box full of jade tokens that shimmered with light.
Mr. Feng said: "Master Zhang's craftsmanship is really amazing. I also know that these four elephant jade tablets are the signature items of the four Taoist temples.
I just didn't expect that it could be produced in such large quantities. If an elite army could be equipped with such a good thing, the effect on the battlefield would even be better than that of an ordinary team of practitioners.
After all, soldiers can make up for some deficiencies in strength with military formations, but it is difficult for practitioners to unite as one. As an individual high-end combat force, it is okay, but when facing a large-scale war, it will be a bit difficult."
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Mr. Feng's idea is not impossible to realize. As long as you bring me the corresponding statues and prepare the materials, I will make them for you as much as you want."
Mr. Feng took a deep look at Zhang Sui and said, "Then let's make it a deal!"
Zhang Suidao: "It's settled in one word!"
Mr. Feng ordered someone to carry the box back to the Chinese army's tent, and stood up to say goodbye.
Zhang Sui looked at his back and watched him go away.
Although making the four-image jade tablet was a piece of cake for Zhang Sui, he still put forward the conditions in exchange for the statue of a foreign god.
It's not that he doesn't want to support the fight against the aliens, but sometimes although this is the reason, it can't be done this way. If people think that the jade tokens he made are as cheap as cabbage, the troubles that will follow may bring him down.
Falling into the quagmire.
In the early morning of the fourth day, the army set off.
Zhou Jiang, the leader of Bingzhou Palace, and the commander of Wuwei Army came to see him off. Zhang Sui saw the four-image jade plaques on their waists, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
After Mr. Feng exchanged some pleasantries, he gave an order and all the troops galloped towards the southwest.
It takes two days to get to Anxi City. Along the way, Mr. Feng handed over the power of commanding the army to Guan Dong, and he and Zhang Sui sat in a four-wheeled carriage, facing each other, each arguing about right and wrong, while playing chess.
, while chatting about spiritual practice.
Zhang Sui was very curious about Mr. Feng's cultivation, and Mr. Feng was also interested in exploring why he could achieve such cultivation at his age.
Seeing Zhang Sui talking about cultivation, Mr. Feng smiled and said: "I am ashamed to say that I have been a Taoist for a long time, but my cultivation has not made much progress until now.
During the Southwest Rebellion, I had already entered Taoism. After that, as the war progressed, my cultivation improved rapidly. However, after the war ended, my cultivation stagnated. For so many years, it has been difficult to cross the realm of human immortality."
Zhang Sui asked: "I heard Lao Lu mention the Southwest Rebellion, but I didn't hear anything about practitioners from him?"
Mr. Feng said with a smile: "At that time, it was not that we didn't take action against the southwest barbarians, it was just that it was difficult for the mortal soldiers to see them.
At that time, there were some worshipers from the other side, and their strength was actually not weak, but they were killed by a few of us practitioners who had entered the Tao. Otherwise, how could those mortal soldiers wipe out the barbarians so easily."
Zhang Sui was a little surprised. Ten years ago, most practitioners rarely showed their supernatural powers in front of ordinary people, so there were not many rumors.
Mr. Feng added: "During this underground alien invasion, I found that my cultivation seemed to have loosened. After several battles, I found that I had really made great progress, so I agreed to come back to General Feng and help him take care of some military matters."
Central affairs.
Otherwise, how much fun it would be to spend time with my wife at home, drink wine, and read some idle books!"
Zhang Sui laughed when he heard this and said, "I think this may have something to do with your determination when you entered Taoism."
Mr. Feng was a little surprised and said, "Do you also know about Wen Sheng's determination to become a Taoist?"
Zhang Suidao: "I heard Mr. Meng explain it to me."
Mr. Feng nodded and said: "That's no wonder." After saying that, he sighed: "It's all my fault. When I entered Taoism at that time, I wanted to have a peaceful world on a whim. After boasting about Haikou, the only way to make progress now is to go
This is the path of the military."
When Zhang Sui heard this, he gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Sir, you have such great ambitions!"
Mr. Feng said angrily: "You have such a good ambition. If you hadn't drunk too much at that time, how could you have blown off such a big piece of cowhide?"
Zhang Sui laughed.
Mr. Feng said: "Don't talk about me anymore. I think Mr. Zhang is not very old. His cultivation is really astonishing. I wonder where he came from?"
Zhang Sui used the trick he made up again. After some explanation, Mr. Feng touched his chin and was very confused: "Ruyi? I have never heard of this sect! Someone who can teach a disciple like Young Master shouldn't be like this.
It’s right to be silent and nameless!”
Zhang Sui thought to himself: "Not only have you never heard of it, but I also heard it from myself!"
The two of them each talked about some of their own cultivation experiences, and then talked about Junshan Academy.
Mr. Feng said: "I met Mr. Meng a few times in Tianjing City ten years ago. At that time, he had already retired as an official. I followed several teachers and met Mr. Meng at a banquet.
I didn’t expect that although I entered Taoism early, Mr. Meng would already enter the realm of earthly immortals in just a few months. The fate of life is really unpredictable!"
Zhang Suidao: "There should be no one like Mr. Meng in the world of spiritual practice."
Mr. Feng nodded in agreement.
While he was sighing, the guard outside the car called: "Mr. Feng, General Guan wants to see you!"
Mr. Feng lifted the car curtain, and when Guan Tong saw what was happening outside, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Feng, there is something strange ahead."
Mr. Feng asked: "What's going on?"
Guan Tong shouted: "Bring it here!"
Guwan
I saw a group of soldiers escorting three people walking towards this side.
These three people should be dressed as nearby mountain people. They were wearing short coats and had rough and dark skin. However, at this time, they were drooling at the corners of their mouths, their eyes were red, and they were roaring in their throats. They were very crazy.
The escorting soldiers used all their strength to knock several people to the ground.
Guan Tong said: "Several scouts of our army were attacked by these people while exploring the front. Only one of them escaped. When I received the news and led people to rush over, several other scouts had their bones mutilated and were killed."
These people are chewing it up."
When everyone heard this, their expressions became tense.
Cannibalism?
Looking at the few people who were still struggling vigorously on the ground, Mr. Feng looked a little unhappy and said, "Have you asked?"
Guan Tong shook his head and said: "These people are unconscious and attack wildly when they get close. They can't find out anything at all. In order to catch these people, five or six soldiers were injured."
Zhang Sui jumped out of the car and came to someone's side.
I saw this man staring at Zhang Sui fiercely, his eyes full of desire for flesh and blood.
Zhang Sui pointed at his forehead and used medicinal techniques, and soon he frowned.
Medical techniques revealed that this person's mind was contaminated by the God-Eating Gu, and his entire mind was completely destroyed, leaving only the instinctive desire for flesh and blood.
Finally, the medical skill reminded: "This poison has the power of contagion, so be careful!"
Zhang Sui was shocked. Could this symptom be the immortal version of a biological crisis?
Thinking of this, Zhang Sui quickly said: "Quickly, call all the people who have fought with these people here."
Guan Tong saw Zhang Sui's urgent voice and quickly sent someone to inform him.
Zhang Sui used medical techniques to directly drive a beam of spiritual light into a person's brain. Through exploration, he found that the person's brain was already a mess, and countless tiny poisonous insects were devouring his brain.
Countless Gu insects spread throughout the body along the meridians, controlling every move of this person.
Seeing the densely packed poisonous insects, Zhang Sui's scalp felt numb. Zhang Sui searched for a cure through medical techniques, but the result was that this person was hopeless. He even explained thoughtfully: "This person's brain has been devoured."
The divine Gu has been devoured completely, even if we kill the Gu insects, there is no way to save it!"
Even so, it also provides methods for killing poisonous insects. One is to use drugs to control and kill them. Twelve kinds of drugs are listed in it, and how to make and mix them is very detailed.
The second method is to use cold spiritual energy to kill the poisonous insects in the body. This method is extremely demanding in terms of operation, but for Zhang Sui at this time, it is the most suitable method.
Thinking of the soldiers who might be infected, Zhang Sui's heart was on fire and he shouted: "Go and bring those soldiers over quickly. Don't let them come into close contact with other soldiers."
Seeing Zhang Sui, who had always been peaceful, look so serious, Mr. Feng knew that something was not right, so he immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
The frost-white sword light suddenly appeared in Zhang Sui's hand, turning into countless small sword lights, and entered the nasal cavity of the person who was contaminated by the poisonous insects, killing all the poisonous insects one by one along the way, and the poisonous insects in the meridians were also infected by the frost-white sword light.
The cold sword light passed by one by one and turned into ice slag.
In a few breaths, all the poisonous insects around this man were killed, but this man's brain had long been eaten away by the poisonous insects. Although the poisonous insects were killed, his life was also cut off.
The two soldiers who were escorting the man felt that the man in their hands was light, and they no longer had the strength to struggle. Then they collapsed on the ground and made no movement.
The two soldiers let go of their hands and looked at each other.
Zhang Sui looked at the lifeless mountain people on the ground and sighed.
Then he walked towards the remaining two people, and while killing the Gu bugs on their bodies, he explained to Mr. Feng: "These people were contaminated by a kind of Gu bug called God-devouring Gu, and their brains and marrow had been eaten away. They were already a
Dead man, all actions are controlled by the Gu.
Moreover, this kind of poison is contagious, and those injured by these people are likely to be infected and need to be treated as soon as possible."
When the people around heard this, their expressions changed. Several young soldiers escorting the three men were even more frightened and trembling all over.
Zhang Sui called them forward to kill any possible poisonous insects on their bodies.
However, several recruits hesitated when they saw that the three people he had "treated" had already died.
Zhang Sui explained: "These people were so infected by the poisonous insects that their brains and marrow had been eaten away, so even if the poisonous insects were killed, they would not survive. The reason for this is to prevent the poisonous insects from spreading."
You don’t have to worry, as long as the Gu bug doesn’t invade your brain too seriously, it won’t hurt you.”
After hearing this, the six soldiers felt relieved and stepped forward one by one for Zhang Sui to check.
After Zhang Sui's inspection, it was probably because people who were not infected by the poisonous insects were injured, and there were no poisonous insects on these people.
Zhang Sui breathed a sigh of relief and informed several people of the result. After hearing this, the recruits finally looked better and thanked them one after another.
At this time, the injured soldiers were rushed here.
Several people were still a little confused. One of them smiled and said to Zhang Sui: "Mr. Zhang, these are just minor injuries. You don't need to do it yourself, right?"
Zhang Sui shook his head and immediately stepped forward to check one by one. As expected, these soldiers who had been injured by the mountain people already had poisonous insects in their blood, and they reproduced at an extremely fast rate. One of them had even reached the brain.
Zhang Sui didn't say much and quickly killed the poisonous insects in these people's bodies.
After all the treatment was completed, Zhang Sui was still a little worried. The people who were going to bandage the wounded and those who had been in contact with them all called over to check one by one. When they found that there was no problem, Zhang Sui was relieved.
tone.
These injured people had been informed of the Gu worm's situation by the people around them. Looking at the three lifeless people on the ground, they couldn't help but feel frightened.
Zhang Sui said to Mr. Feng with a serious face: "Mr. Feng, the presence of these three people here means that there must be other people around who have been contaminated by Gu. If these contaminated people are allowed to spread, the consequences will be disastrous. It must be
Find the source of pollution!"
Mr. Feng nodded and said: "That's right. I've never heard of this poisonous insect being so harmful before. I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any way to prevent it?"
Zhang Sui nodded and said, "I have a prescription here that can prevent and treat this kind of poisonous insects, but I don't know if I can get all the medicinal materials here."
Mr. Feng immediately ordered someone to call the general quartermaster. Many medicines are necessary for the army to travel.
Looking at the fat man gasping for breath with each step in front of him, Zhang Sui directly named the twelve medicinal materials.
The quartermaster's name was Zhang Ning. After listening to the medicinal materials mentioned by Zhang Sui, he recalled: "Most of the medicinal materials that the young master mentioned are available in the army, but the three flavors, wind knot grass, clay lantern flower and bat tail are missing.
.”
Zhang Sui nodded and said: "These three herbs are not difficult to find. They should be found in the surrounding towns. I will write out the prescription. After collecting the medicinal materials, I will cook it according to the compatibility on the prescription and give it to each soldier.
Drink a bowl of it to prevent this kind of poisonous insect from infesting you."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Feng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. If it weren't for you, once this poison spreads in the army, the consequences would be disastrous."
At this time, You De and others also rushed over after hearing the news. When people heard what happened, their expressions changed, especially the people from the Nanli Sect, their expressions became even more ugly when they heard the word "God-Eating Gu".
You De said in a deep voice: "Second Young Master, are you sure it's the God-Eating Gu?"
Zhang Sui nodded, pointed to the three people on the ground and said, "If you don't believe it, you can crack open their heads and you will know at a glance."
