Chapter 72 Imperfect God's Decree and 【Datang Beast Cage】
When the night attack army came back victorious, Li Yuan personally greeted everyone.
"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."
"You guys played well...very well."
He bowed his hands to every general who participated in the battle and waved to the participating teams.
Wu Ma noticed that Li Yuan's eyes swept over almost every soldier participating in the battle. His eyes were very instigating. Every soldier touched by his eyes seemed to have heard Duke Tang's words of comfort and comfort to him.
Encouraging words will lift your spirits. In this way, maybe everyone will have trouble falling asleep tonight.
This battle of the Fire Battalion's night attack on the Turks, which is destined to go down in history, was just included in the battle plan when the Turks were dancing happily around the campfire, and it was over when the moon came into the sky.
On May 21st, the 13th year of Daye's reign, the Jinyang Army won its first victory. Li Yuan wanted to invite the generals to have a banquet and drink heavily, but the Turks were still outside the city. This battle might be just the beginning.
…
Wu Ma and Yu Wen Jianxue waited for Liu Wenjing at the gate of the city. The old man who was over fifty years old was covered in blood and opened his mouth and said:
"I almost lost sight of you two."
After communicating with each other, we found out that the side on the frontal battlefield initially had some advantages, but its association rate was obviously one level higher than Liu Wenjing's.
Liu Wenjing was almost unable to break through Jiuhe Sui's awareness defense. Jiuhe Sui's phantom dagger was accurate with every stab.
On the Jinyang Army's side, three generals were stabbed to death by the gangsters, and Wang Kangda also died. Liu Wenjing almost fell victim to the attack, but Li Shimin saved him.
After Wu Ma heard the news, he suddenly thought that to a certain extent, history had not changed because of his arrival.
It still took the same path, but drew an S-shaped trajectory on the ground.
Wang Wei, Gao Junya died, and Wang Kangda also died. In the end, they did not escape their fate.
"Where's the hoopoe? Who knows where the hoopoe has gone."
After Liu Wenjing inquired for a long time, she learned that Hoopoo had been taken to the hospital for treatment. According to the doctor, "The injury was very serious. It is probably difficult for him to survive tonight."
"The hoopoe has done great work, so you should take good care of it... Yes, go all out." Liu Wenjing said this.
Not long after, the shadow above the dancing horse illuminated a line of small words:
【sixty two】.
The meaning is very clear, there is a prisoner who could not be rescued.
When Pei Ji left the Turkic camp with the prisoners, the dancing horses were clearly counted, and there were sixty-three people in total.
Liu Wenjing quickly went to Pei Ji to verify the situation.
Didn't find it, probably went to see the hoopoe.
Pei Ji's lieutenant replied, saying that when he came out of the Turkic camp, one of the prisoners was seriously injured. After returning to the city, Pei Ji invited a doctor to treat him, but he could not be saved.
The phantom of Divine Will reminded the three people in Datang Tower that they almost realized the perfect Divine Will. The phantom also gave a brief reminder of the meaning and rewards of Perfect Divine Will.
The three people looked at it and felt that it was a pity that they had missed an opportunity to seriously damage the Turkic Awakening Tower.
"Pei Ji... must have done it on purpose. I will settle the score with him tomorrow!" Liu Wenjing said.
It is indeed too late today, and it would not be good to have conflicts just after winning the battle.
Liu Wenjing calmed down a little and quickly thought clearly: Those prisoners had all been tortured and were already injured, and they were jostled all the way on the horses. It was a good result that only one of them died.
The failure of the perfect divine decree should be attributed more to the harsh conditions.
Think about it again - Pei Ji must be in a bad mood since the hoopoe is about to die. If he goes there now, the two of them can fight directly.
Thinking of this, Liu Wenjing felt that she had made a profit, both inside and outside.
After all, the stability and unity of Datang Tower are the most important.
Regarding the perfect divine decree, Yuwen Jianxue raised a doubt: when he left the city for the first time, everyone came back safely according to the divine decree, so why was it not counted as a perfect divine decree.
Liu Wenjing was unclear about this issue. Wu Ma didn't say anything. She could only put the responsibility on Qingxia.
"Well, it must be Qingxia's fault." Liu Wenjing said.
…
The three of them said goodbye to Li Yuan and headed back to the Tang Pagoda together.
Wu Ma discussed martial arts with Liu Wenjing on the road again.
After a few days of observation, Wu Ma noticed that many people who knew Kung Fu in this era had a skill similar to the internal strength in martial arts novels.
This allows them to hurt people from a distance, and they can also attach internal force to the weapon to increase its power. People like Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, Yuwen Jianxue, and Sunong Linghua all have this ability.
This is completely different from the fighting skills that Wu Ma developed through various perverted ways in the last days.
"You said this..."
Liu Wenjing casually slapped her palm on the big tree not far away, and heard the rustling of branches and leaves in the distance.
"This is called inner strength."
"Wu Langjun has been in the mountains for too long, so he may not know clearly."
"It's an internal skill. It existed in the past, but it couldn't be this powerful. It used to be that I could control the internal energy two or three feet out of the body at most... That was after the meteorite fell in the first year of Daye.
We martial arts practitioners have discovered that practicing inner strength is like a divine help. Those who have the guidance of a master and can endure hardships can develop good inner strength after five or eight years of practice. Martial arts has flourished since then.
stand up……"
"I see that Mr. Dancer also has the ability to hurt people from a distance, but his inner strength is somewhat different from mine."
"If it's not convenient to talk about... just don't talk about it."
"This kind of inner strength, Wu Langjun, do you want to learn it...I will teach you...you don't need to be a disciple."
Yuwen Jianxue, who was walking behind, wanted to tell his master that a row of Turkic soldiers could be brought down by a slap of the dancing horse. At that distance, the dancing horse tree would have fallen if it were replaced by a dancing horse.
…
On the way, Yuwen Jianxue mentioned Qingxia's defection, and Liu Wenjing said it was not surprising at all.
"I already knew it. Mr. Wulang asked me to keep it a secret."
"Oh... I said that we are all from the Tang Tower, we are a team, no one can be left behind... We are not singing with Mr. Dancer."
"How smart your master is."
In the end, Yuwen Jianxue finally realized how Qingxia felt before the night attack.
…
When you arrive at the Awakening Tower, the first thing you have to deal with is Qingxia's green lantern statue.
The dancing horse walked to the green lantern statue, and the statue prompted: [The traitor has betrayed, the wood sculpture can be destroyed, the captain will do it]
But be careful, [destroy the sculpture and deduct the star, and the star will be exhausted and everyone will die]
In other words, destroying the statue will deduct Qingxia's Divine Will Star.
If all deductions are completed, the god will kill Qingxia.
Can Qingxia die?
Can.
But you can never be killed by a dancing horse. This is the case before the curse is lifted.
Qingxia probably figured this out and left without any scruples, Wu Ma thought.
"Can someone else destroy the statue?"
【No】. The statue responded firmly.
Regarding the curse, Wu Ma doesn’t want to tell anyone for the time being.
Therefore, Wu Ma discussed with Liu Wenjing and Yuwen Jianxue: Although Qingxia's crime was extremely heinous, after all, we were working together and had some sympathy, so there was no need to do things too harshly.
Moreover, there is no harm in keeping the statue of Qingxia for now. In the future, we can make a decision as needed.
The three people reached an agreement on this.
Next, it’s time to enjoy the news and take stock of the gains.
In this fire night attack, Wu Ma obtained a total of five divine stars. Among them, four were from rescue and one was from night attack.
Yuwen Jianxue harvested four. Among them, he rescued two, attacked one at night, and killed a Turkic whip wielder.
Liu Wenjing harvested three. Among them, one was rescued and two were attacked at night.
Qingxia, who didn't do anything and was just trying to make a fool of herself all the way, finally made a counterattack and got a star - for the rescue.
Regarding this point, Yuwen Jianxue couldn't figure it out. It could only be attributed to Qingxia not killing the prisoner.
The star of Qingxia first appeared above the Qingdeng statue, and then floated to the top of the Tang array in the center of the hall, where it joined the other stars.
"Look - this proves that we were right to keep the green lantern statue." Wu Ma said.
Counting the six stars obtained by the first temporary divine decree, a total of eighteen stars floated above the Datang Formation.
[Divine Decree Star Eighteen, the tower rises to two floors]
Just like that, the Awakening Tower rumbled and grew to two stories high. Yuwen Jianxue felt as if there was an earthquake.
"Oh, this guy is really a blessing to our family."
Liu Wenjing said and took the lead in climbing to the second floor.
The three people took a look around. Except for the statue of the natal monster, the structure of the second-story tower is similar to that of the first-floor tower. The space is slightly smaller. There are lights hanging on the four walls, the words "Datang Pagoda" hanging above the middle, and there is also a figure in the center of the floor.
Datang Formation.
The three of them walked into the formation.
Then an image was shot out from the array - a birdcage-like object was seen floating in the air, with some faint figures of birds and beasts swaying inside, but it was unclear what they were.
[Datang Beast Cage, obtained with three stars, can be crowdfunded].
It's just such a small line of text, and there's no explanation of its function.
"I know this," Liu Wenjing's face was almost pressed against the phantom of the birdcage, "The Awakening Tower has been upgraded. There will always be something new... It will naturally be good for us."
"Beast cage, beast cage, the so-called beast cage must contain wild beasts. This is the Awakening Tower, and the beast cages are probably not ordinary things..."
"Yes, unicorns, white tigers...dragons are all possible."
"Yes! Of course I want it, take out the animal cage now."
Liu Wenjing grabbed the phantom of the animal cage with both hands, wishing she could get it immediately.
According to the instructions of God's decree, it will cost three God's decree stars to redeem the beast cage, which can be crowdfunded.
"Don't worry," Wu Ma said, "Let's think clearly first whether we want to redeem the awakening technique."
The three of them returned to the tower hall on the first floor and looked at the awakening techniques that could be exchanged this time.
After some calculations, in addition to meeting personal needs, there is still something left for everyone.
Immediately, they returned to the two-story tower together, each person took out a star, and crowdfunded the [Beast Cage]——
A shadow of the [Beast Cage] emitting green and yellow light slowly floated from the center of the second-floor Tang formation and gradually solidified.
After about a while of tea, a bronze animal cage about as tall as a man appeared in front of the three of them.
"master,"
Yuwen Jianxue looked at the empty cage,
"Where have the unicorns, white tigers, and dragons you mentioned gone?"
"What's the hurry?" Liu Wenjing walked around the cage, "Nothing is so easy in the world."
"Yes, whatever you say is fine."
While they were making a noise, two groups of lights and shadows lit up in the animal cage, and it soon became clear.
I can see it clearly this time——
On the left is a snow-white rabbit. Floating on it is: [The Jade Rabbit in the Wind, disappearing without a trace, caught in one star]
On the right is a porcupine with thorns all over its body: [Porcupine with arrows on its back, flashing and moving, winning with two stars]
At the end, another line floated out: [Choose one of the two]...
