The black fog is getting thicker and thicker. It is daytime now, but it feels like night. Qin Mu and others can still barely distinguish the direction. When they look up at the sky, they can still see the sun, but the sun is not dazzling at all, like darkness. There is a circular light-colored halo in the center, which is much dimmer than the light of the moon.
When they looked around, they could only see the green mountains turning into hazy black mountains.
There were noisy sounds from behind, and someone shouted: "The few who escaped are three men, three women, and a big lion... Don't leave, pick up my head! Come back quickly -"
Qin Mu's heart moved slightly and he looked at Shen Wanyun.
Shen Wanyun understood, and unsheathed the flying sword in the sword box behind his back. He quickly dug a long hole in the ground and lay down. It was the first time that he encountered such a strange thing as the resurrection of the dead, so he was a little panicked, but now he has calmed down. Come down.
Qin Mu waved his sleeves, rolled up the soil next to him, and buried Shen Wanyun under the soil.
Everyone walked forward, but before they had gone far, several screams came from behind.
"Someone is hiding in the ground to ambush us!"
"My head was chopped off, who saw my head?"
"Shut up you idiot! How can you talk when your head is gone?"
"I see. No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for a long time."
"Which senior brother has seen my legs? I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm so grateful."
…
Qin Mu asked Long Qilin to stop, and Shen Wanyun immediately chased after him, saying: "There should be no pursuers. Let's leave quickly."
Suddenly, a singing voice was faintly heard in the fog. This singing voice was even weirder than the singing voice that came from the river just now. It had no rhythm and was very stiff.
Qin Mu asked them to stop for a while, quietly sneaked over, and then saw the singers who were singing.
There were several "corpses" singing, casting spells, and performing soul-drawing in the dark mountains and forests. Their bodies were in tatters, and they were doing things in the darkness, which was very strange.
"What the dead do?"
Qin Mu was slightly startled, and suddenly thought of the magical power of the Nine Nether Sect, which seemed to break through the boundaries between life and death.
If we study this type of magical power to the extreme, can we break the boundary between life and death and achieve immortality?
The magical powers of the Nine Nether Sect are far from immortal. They only pull the souls of the deceased from the underworld and let their souls temporarily reside in their respective bodies.
They must constantly activate the soul-pulling yin. If they stop using the soul-pulling yin, their souls may be pulled back to the underworld, and they will truly die.
"No wonder those corpses are also using Soul Retraction."
Qin Mu thought to himself: "We must continue to use soul pulling to make them continue to move. These dead people are not weak in cultivation, so it is best to avoid them."
He did not disturb the dead people, but quietly retreated back, saying: "Let's change the direction."
Before they had gone far, they encountered another group of Jiuyoumen disciples who were practicing magic. In addition to these dead Jiuyoumen disciples, he also saw several disciples of the Corpse Immortal Sect, who were also manipulating corpses and rounding them up. The sergeants who escaped from the city were flying in the air with their feet on yellow paper.
Qin Mu frowned and changed direction: "Let's go to Lushan. Jiuyoumen's body was buried there, and he was resurrected from there and entered the county town. There must be an emptiness there!"
Everyone was extremely nervous. Now the black mist was full of people from the Jiuyoumen and the Corpse Immortal Sect. The Corpse Immortal Sect was eradicated by Yu Yuan Chuyu. It is estimated that the corpses of the disciples of this sect were also buried nearby. The Jiuyoumen also took them with them this time. Resurrection together.
Obviously, Jiuyoumen came prepared this time and caught Yu Yuan Chuyu off guard. If this situation continues, Lizhou may also be in danger.
Qin Mu thought to himself: "There must be a ruthless guy behind Jiuyou Sect. In order to win, he will do whatever it takes, even sacrificing so many disciples of Jiuyou Sect!"
When they came to Lushan, there were really no people here, and the black fog was much lighter.
Shen Wanyun, Yun Que and others gradually felt relieved. As long as they climbed over the mountain and walked out of the place shrouded in black mist, they would be safe for the time being.
Suddenly, a melodious chant came from the mountain, and everyone became nervous again and looked at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "This chanting sound is wrong. It's not soul-drawing, but another kind of magic."
Yue Qinghong and others could not hear any difference in the singing. They had not studied the soul-drawing ability of Jiuyoumen. Qin Mu had studied this magical power and heard something was wrong.
"You stay here, I'll go take a look!"
Qin Mu gave an order and quietly approached the chanting sound. When he came near the chanting sound, Qin Mu's footsteps became lighter and lighter, and he saw an altar in the mountain col ahead. On the altar, more than a dozen male and female Taoists were performing rituals.
The altar was made of skeletons, with the same length and width, each measuring three feet sixty-seven feet in length. The altar was made of a flat surface made of skulls. There were white flags inserted in the four corners of the southeast and northwest, and the white flags were mixed with blood. Runes written in cinnabar.
In the center of the altar stands an eight-armed demon statue. This statue squats with one leg bent, and the other leg is crossed at the crook of the squatting leg. The eight arms are clasped together in twos. There are four faces, each face has three. Eye.
These male and female Taoists each activate a talisman, which floats in the air. The talisman has many interfaces, and each interface has a rune.
As these Taoists chanted, the runes on the talisman interface continued to light up, and the lit runes shone just on the body of the demon statue. Every time a place was illuminated, a rune lit up on the demon statue. .
The talisman keeps rotating, lighting up the runes on the statue one by one.
At this moment, most of the runes on the demon statue have been lit up.
"Tune ghosts and send talisman words!"
Qin Mu's heart was slightly shaken: "The Taoism of the Hongshan Sect! They are the disciples of the Hongshan Sect who have been exterminated!"
These dozen male and female Taoists are all supernatural beings. Judging from the situation, they have been using secret techniques to control ghosts and gods for some time. It is obvious that the Hongshan Sect was planning to fight back after being exterminated, and joined forces with the Nine Nether Sect and the Corpse Immortal Sect!
Qin Mu then combined the time of Jiuyoumen's attack to coincide with the time when the scholars from Taiyuan University had just sailed between Lizhou and Luxian. This shows that someone clearly understood the movement of the scholars from Taiyuan University, and even the arrival of the scholars from Taiyuan University. Time to get here.
The scholars from the Taiyuan Academy came out for training this time and selected elites from various realms. In the future, these scholars will become officials of the Yankang Kingdom and replace the current batch of officials who come from various sects and families.
Most of today's officials belong to the old era, while the academicians belong to the new era.
If Qin Mu and his group of scholars were wiped out in one fell swoop, then the Yankang Imperial Division would lose a group of backbones in the new era.
"This time the scholars came out to practice. It was the emperor's order. Apart from Gu Linuan, only a few high-ranking first-class officials knew about it in advance."
Qin Mu's eyes flashed. Some of these first-rank officials must have betrayed him.
He really wanted to continue watching how these Hongshan Sect disciples cast spells to summon the demon god, but when the demon god was summoned by the Hongshan Sect disciples, they would probably die.
Qin Mu quietly retreated and told Shen Wanyun and others what he saw, saying: "The thirteen magical power users are all very capable. They summoned the devil, and no one can escape. We must We must get rid of them before they summon the devil and destroy the altar! Who dares to go with me to kill them?"
"Kill the supernatural being?"
Yun Que and Yue Qinghong were both surprised: "And there are thirteen magical powers?"
Qin Mu glanced at them: "Don't you dare?"
Yun Que said nonchalantly: "Some of them don't dare. They have magical powers, and there are thirteen of them."
Qin Mu said in a deep voice: "If we don't kill them, until they summon the demon god, not only will we die, but the entire Lizhou will also die!"
Shen Wanyun pondered and asked, "Is the Hongshan Sect a magic sect?"
Si Yunxiang tightened the sword box on her back and said: "I heard from my elders that the Hongshan Sect is a sect that specializes in soul-based spells and is not good at swordsmanship and combat skills. When the Imperial Master destroyed the Hongshan Sect, they He led a group of magical practitioners who only practiced swordsmanship to invade Hongshan and destroy this sect! After the Hongshan sect was destroyed, their scattered disciples may not necessarily be authentic in their spells, and their attainments in combat skills and swordsmanship may not be the same. It can't be too deep."
Qin Mu said: "The imperial master uses swordsmanship to kill them. We don't use swordsmanship, we use combat skills. With swordsmanship, we can't match their magic. But in close combat, those who practice magic will have no time to use their magical powers, and they will be killed by us! Wan Yun , Yun Que, Qing Hong, I have seen your combat skills, they are not weak, do you have the courage?"
Shen Wanyun said in a deep voice: "If you dare, I dare!"
Qin Mu looked at Si Yunxiang, who lowered his head and said timidly: "Yunxiang, a doctor of etherics, follows suit."
Qin Mu looked at Yue Qinghong again, and Yue Qinghong's eyes flashed with light, and he could not suppress his excitement: "I have never encountered such a thing, how can I not participate? Wolf slave, you are also ready!"
Qin Mu's eyes fell on Monk Yun Que. Yun Que hesitated and gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't go to hell, who will? I'll do it with you!"
Qin Mu said: "I will be the first to rush out later, kill on the altar, and open the way for you. You follow me, fight at close range, and fight quickly. You must not delay the time! The altar is three feet long and sixty-seven feet wide, so In a small space, you should think about the tricks you want to use and go through them in your mind several times!"
Yue Qinghong's hands trembled with excitement, and she laughed and said: "It seems like it's not bad to follow you. The first battle is so exciting, I can't wait any longer!"
Qin Mumao walked forward with his waist bent, and Shen Wanyun and others followed him. When they arrived at the mountain col, they saw that the runes on the demon statue on the altar were already lit up, and the thirteen men and women The Taoist was still activating the talisman, walking around the altar, and chanting incessantly, which seemed to be an ancient sacrificial language.
Qin Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he suppressed the urge to rush out immediately to interrupt the sacrifice, and whispered: "Observe the terrain. Once you have done so, we will take action. Ling'er, take Long Qilin to the other side and make a noise to attract them." Attention."
Hu Ling'er quickly led Long Qilin around the altar quietly and walked to the right.
After a while, Yue Qinghong whispered: "It's time to observe!"
Qin Mu waved his hand, and Fox Ling'er immediately jumped out of the grass, while Long Qilin roared behind and chased her, as if hunting for prey.
The thirteen Taoists on the altar were shocked. When they saw the fox and the dragon Qilin, one Taoist smiled and said: "It turns out that it is a big lion hunting..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a flash of sword light. Qin Mu had already stepped onto the altar, holding a pair of swords and lifting people's heads in his hands!
