Chapter 204: The actor with ten faces, the master of Budu
"Shh!"
While they were talking, Luo Ziqing suddenly reached out and covered the mouths of Mrs. Hu and Ma Jiaxiang.
At the same time, a pair of furry pointed ears sprouted from her head and trembled a few times.
"There was suddenly no movement downstairs..."
She had been using her powerful hearing to judge the movements of the walking corpses, but just now, all the footsteps and friction sounds disappeared together, as if they had all left Yichun Garden.
"Gone? How is that possible? Then why did they come?" Mrs. Hu also showed her ears and listened for a while, then shook her head, "Oh, I am old, and my ears are not as sharp as yours."
"No, maybe he is pretending to leave to lure us out." Ma Jiaxiang judged, "Don't act rashly first, wait a while."
In the darkness, the two demons remained silent, but the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Just when Ma Jiaxiang was wondering what kind of animals the old man and the young man were turned into monsters, suddenly——
"Click! Click!"
Several loud noises came from the soles of the feet, and the entire Yichun Garden was shaking!
"What's going on..."
Before Mrs. Hu could finish speaking, the ground beneath their feet began to vibrate rhythmically!
"No..."
Ma Jiaxiang looked horrified. He struggled to stand up, picked up his weapon, the iron rod wrapped with black gauze, walked to the wall, pointed it hard at the wooden wall, and looked out through the eyes he had made. "How is it?" Old Mrs. Hu asked, she couldn't care less about Ma Jiaxiang destroying her property.
He did not turn around, but looked out through the hole and said:
"Misstep.
"Their target is not us, nor the land where Yichun Garden is located.
"But Yichun Garden itself."
He gave up his seat and asked Mrs. Hu to check the situation outside.
"They, actually..."
"Yes. You two, prepare to break out. They have blocked the entire Yichun Garden from the first floor and are carrying it towards the river!"
……
"Oh my god, what is that?"
"The building...is moving?"
In Jiangdu City, the chaotic citizens also discovered this unusual scene.
In less than an hour, they had witnessed so many chaos and strange phenomena that they could no longer think normally.
Now, they only have one thought in their minds:
There is a ghost in Jiangdu City! You must escape!
As a result, the chaotic flow of people actually rushed towards the three city gates in an orderly manner.
"Go to the city gate!"
"However, the city gate is now closed, and the soldiers guarding the city are also..."
"With everything in such chaos, do you think there is still anyone guarding the city gate?"
"Run! Here we go again..."
Some were holding torches, some were carrying a few belongings, and some were supporting the old and young. Hundreds of thousands of Jiangdu people reached a consensus at this moment and rushed towards the west and north city gates that were farthest from the riot.<
/p>
During this period, people kept groaning and falling down, and gusts of wind blew by, forcing people to duck down to avoid it. For a time, countless people were trampled under the feet of the people behind them.
Women and children cried one after another, as well as screams of dying struggles...
The entire Jiangdu City is turning into a purgatory on earth!
On the northern city wall of Jiangdu, a person was admiring this hellish scene.
This man is in his thirties, with six distinct ring scars on his bald head. He is half-draped and half-hanging in an old cassock, and he is holding a Zen staff with skull ornaments in his hand.
One end of the Zen staff was stained with blood, and looking behind him, seven or eight armored soldiers fell in a pool of blood. Now, the winch that controls the opening and closing of the city gate is no longer guarded.
His face, which could not distinguish between male and female, was bright and dark under the firelight. Sadness, ecstasy, doubt, fear... various expressions flashed across his face one by one.
Suddenly, two figures flew up to the city wall and stood beside him.
"Master Budu, Jiang Linger, and Ruan Hunxiong are here."
The visitors were none other than Ruan Hunxiong and the troupe leader. They spoke respectfully and seemed to be very wary of this "Master Budu".
"Master, please forgive me. We were too slow. We didn't have time to force Zhao Xuan to bring in reinforcements. Your ghost had already entered the city and we had no choice but to return empty-handed." Jiang Ling'er reported.
Budu did not turn around to look at the two of them, and said: "It doesn't matter, I didn't expect to win two 'Dragon Locking Cities' at once."
Although he did not mean to blame, the class leader and Ruan Hunxiong did not dare to relax at all.
"Where is Mr. Mo? Have you found him?"
Ruan Hunxiong took a step forward, bowed his head and replied: "Master, I have found out that Mr. Mo is hiding in Fengde Tower. I wanted to wait for him to make a sneak attack, but at that time... when the wave of ghosts passed, Mr. Mo had disappeared.
”
Suddenly, he felt a murderous aura attack his neck. He hurriedly took half a step back, hesitated for a moment, then bit his lip and returned to his original position, his hands trembling slightly.
Budu was silent for a long time, then suddenly put his hands together and said:
"Amitabha...that's all, I don't blame you two. It's just that we can't catch Mr. Mo, and our plan is out of the question."
Although Jiang Ling'er was far away, she knew that she had just escaped, and hurriedly said: "Old Mo has limited mobility and cannot escape from the city in the commotion. I will 'post' a hundred corpses right now.
We'll find him soon."
But Fudu just smiled: "One hundred corpses, you 'Ten-faced Actor' is not arrogant. Even Deng Dahu, the leader of your corpse exorcists, the 'King of Hell' at the bridge, could only drive more than a hundred corpses at the same time.
That’s all.”
"Master, there is no doubt that my lineage comes from the 'Qiaotou Yama King', and my ability is the best among the three generations above me. Even if I can't compare with the ancestor, I will not be much inferior."
Master Budu waved his hand and said: "No need. The practice of Wumen emphasizes the unity of nature and man. Mr. Mo must be waiting for the opportunity to suppress the ghost, and he will naturally appear when the time comes."
Ruan Hunxiong was puzzled: "What if he didn't stop him and just looked for an opportunity to escape? He has no relatives or friends, so why would he fight for Jiangdu City?"
"Oh, if he really had no worries, why would he become like this?" Budu raised his head and looked at Yichun Yuan, which was moving slowly in the distance like a living thing, and said, "Once Yichun Yuan is thrown into the river,
If the city gate is breached from the inside, the dragon-locking formation will loosen slightly, and then he will definitely take action."
The refugees at their feet were already shouting and looking for something that could be used to break down the city gate.
Soon, a beam that was removed from nowhere was carried to the city gate.
Ruan Hunxiong and Jiang Linger looked at each other, as if arguing about who should break the silence.
"Come on, one, two, three——"
"Bang!"
"Master..." Jiang Ling'er said hesitantly.
"Harder! One, two, three——"
"Bang!"
"You said before that you would not elaborate on the plan until the ghost enters the city. Now..."
He didn't dare to finish his words and was observing Budu's reaction.
Master Budu was silent for a moment, then turned around suddenly and said with a smile:
"Yes, it's a little inappropriate to keep you in the dark anymore."
Jiang Ling'er was startled by his actions, and then her surprise turned into joy.
Under the city wall, the shouts continued: "Come again! One, two, three——"
"Bang!"
"Jiangdu City is part of the Dragon Locking Formation. Have I told you this?"
"Yes."
"Three hundred years ago, when Daliang first established the world, Liang Taizu listened to the advice of an expert from the Western Regions and built 24 cities to form a dragon-locking array to lock the dragon's energy in order to consolidate the country forever. Jiangdu is the second
One of the fourteen dragon-locking cities.
"The dragon veins of the world come from Kunlun, and Kunlun is known as the fairy mountain. How can this not make people wonder? Since ancient times, it is not uncommon to have legends of Taoist masters ascending to heaven. There are even stories of ancestors ascending to heaven in Taoist orthodoxy.
There are no records of becoming immortals. But in the past three hundred years, not to mention becoming immortals, even monks who can slightly transcend the mortal world and extend their lives have not appeared. Some people wonder whether the dragon-locking formation will bring the spiritual energy from the immortal mountain.
The reason for being trapped in the dragon vein."
Ruan Hunxiong and Jiang Ling'er were filled with excitement after hearing this, and they felt like immortals and otherworldly beings... But at the same time, they had doubts, feeling that they knew too much.
Their emotional changes could not escape Budu's eyes.
"Haha, of course, the idea of becoming an immortal is too elusive. But since the Dragon Locking Formation was completed, the abilities of all 'foreigners' have been declining, regardless of the outer sect or the inner sect. The inner sect's family is well-off, and they have the right path.
It's easy to live up to our reputation, but our outer sect is in dire straits. Not only can our ancestor's methods fail to protect us, but the attitude of the people towards us has also changed from being disgusted and afraid to being disgusted by people and being hated by dogs. How do you feel about it?
It should be quite touching."
These words carried great weight to the ears of Ruan and Jiang.
Growing up listening to the deeds of the seniors of the outer sect, it is inevitable to yearn for that power. But the elders, the smile that the master would show when recalling the past, and the words "We were so prosperous back then, but now, alas -" are all reminders
With them, the outer gate is declining.
The various strange and cunning methods he learned at the risk of his life gradually failed, and he could no longer gain the respect of the past when he traveled around the world, and was even ostracized as a monster...
"So, if we can loosen the Dragon Locking Formation a little, we might be able to restore the outer door to its former glory. This is our goal."
"One, two, three——"
"Crack! Click!"
"Try harder! It will open soon!"
No matter how loud the shouts came from under their feet, they could not reach the ears of the three of them. All they saw, heard, and felt at this time was the bright future that lay before them.
"We understand, Master. But can we know more about some details of the plan?"
Budu smiled gently and said: "No problem, we are of the same mind and there are no secrets between us."
"Why did you ask the zombies to throw Yichunyuan into the river? This occupied almost all the zombies, and they couldn't even send manpower to search Jiangdu City..."
Jiang Ling'er's face twitched, obviously complaining about Ruan Hunxiong's talkativeness.
"Of course there is a reason for this."
Master Budu turned around and looked down at the entire Jiangdu City.
"All of this starts with a man from the underworld named 'An Rudao'..."
