Chapter 190 Autumn Leaves (Two Chapters in One)
Late at night, Li Banfeng was familiar with the terrain in the canyon.
The advantage of the terrain is not small. The ten-mile canyon is more than one foot wide, with nine twists and turns, and thick vines everywhere. It took Li Banfeng more than two minutes to run with all his strength from start to finish.
He is a third-level traveling cultivator, and he still has to run for such a long time. If the other party only sends ordinary cultivators here, as long as the level is not too high, it will be difficult to get out of the canyon in ten minutes.
So, is ten minutes enough for me?
But what if the Earth God comes in person?
Think about the speed of the will-o'-the-wisp, it comes as soon as you say it, it arrives in the blink of an eye, and it doesn't even take a minute to cross the ten-mile canyon.
Can every earth god turn into a will-o'-the-wisp?
Even if the autumn leaves may not turn into will-o’-the-wisps, what if there are aliens like traveling cultivators on the opposite side?
Li Banfeng walked slowly in the canyon, carefully observing every position.
When they reached a corner, Tang Dao said, "Master, this is a wonderful place to set up an ambush."
Tang Dao has fought in battles and is the only one among the magic weapons with military experience.
Li Banfeng marked this location and continued to travel through the canyon, making more than twenty marks in a row. Li Banfeng and Tang Daoyou selected the best and found three of the locations.
All twenty marks are useful, especially three of them, which are the key to the ambush.
Walking to the mouth of the canyon near Luoyiping, Li Banfeng saw the altar tables scattered on the ground and the thick fog in the distance.
"Brother Li Qi, don't go any further. If you go any further, you will reach Qiu Luoye's territory. You have made a contract with me, and you will be considered mine.
The war hasn't started yet, so you can't enter the realm of Autumn Fallen Leaves. If you step over the border and enter the mist, you will die. "The gushing water floated to Li Qi's side, and this time it came in human form.
Li Banfeng stared at the fog for a moment. It was very thick, but some figures could be vaguely seen.
Shui Yongquan looked at the altar table on the ground and said to Li Banfeng: "This is what the group of pioneers left behind. They chose it at the mouth of the canyon three times.
Once is considered a coincidence, twice is considered a coincidence, but three times is considered a coincidence? This is what happened to someone. "
Li Banfeng had no intention of listening to his analysis of the situation. He continued to familiarize himself with the terrain.
Shui Yongquan sighed in admiration: "Brother Li Qi, you really care about me, but where is brother Ma Wu? Don't say he's not coming."
"Come on, I made an agreement with him. He will only be responsible for fighting, leaving the formation of troops to me." Li Banfeng gave a perfunctory explanation.
Shui Yongquan smiled: "Arrange the troops? There's no need for this.
When the Earth Gods are fighting, do you think it’s a battle between armies? There’s not so much fuss here,
When the fight begins, everyone takes action immediately. If you delay for a moment longer, people's hearts will disperse.
When people fight with you, they all want to gain cultivation. If you want to fight, don't worry about it. Whoever has quick hands or dark hands will win! "
Li Banfeng frowned: "Isn't this just a mob?"
"What do you think? Qiu Luoye's men are all just a mob!"
This is different from what Li Banfeng thought.
He also hoped to read out a message and negotiate for a while before going to war to delay the war.
A fight started when they met, but things became difficult to handle.
Tactics need to be changed.
Shui Yongquan sighed: "You are the one who made the contract. It is your business to find Ma Wu. Young man, I only warn you, the more helpers you have on the battlefield, the more lives you will have.
Even if you have someone help you hold the door open, one more person will give you more strength. What I'm talking about is serious business. It's not that easy for you to hold the door open by yourself. "
Li Banfeng looked at the cliffs on both sides: "Shuiluomen can support it for three minutes, and Shuiluomen alone can't do it."
Shui Yongquan smacked his lips. There were some things he didn't want to say, but Li Banfeng had already signed the contract. Even if he said it, Li Banfeng couldn't regret it. After careful consideration, he decided to give Li Banfeng a warning:
"If Qiu Luoye rushes into the valley himself, the only one who can stop him is Shui Luomen."
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Will he come in person?"
"not sure."
"You can only use water to knock down the door?"
Shui Yongquan thought for a while and said: "In addition to Shui Luo Men, there are also some special techniques. Qiu Luo Ye's brain is not easy to use, but any Taoist sect that messes with people's minds can restrain him, and Huan Xiu is one of them."
He still wants Ma Wu to play.
Li Banfeng didn't think about Ma Wu. He asked Shui Yongquan: "Is moral cultivation a Taoist way of understanding the mind indiscriminately?"
Shui Yongquan nodded: "Forget it."
"Where's Mengxiu?"
"It doesn't matter. If you can find help from De Xiu and Meng Xiu, you can delay it for a while." Shui Yongquan passed through the canyon and returned to his own realm.
The record player's guess was correct. Shui Yongquan didn't put all his chips on Li Qi. He left himself a backup plan.
Wild boars were also prowling near the mouth of the canyon, looking for ambush positions.
Centipede and her daughter have already chosen their positions and are still arguing.
"Mom, can you show some respect? We are here to get down to business. Don't worry about that boy named Ma."
"Bah! Who gave you the courage to interfere with my mother's affairs?" Centipede looked into the canyon from time to time, hoping to see Ma Wu again.
Shui Yongquan snorted coldly and said, "If you two want to guard the canyon, I won't stop you."
Centipede Girl shook her body and said: "Oh, Master Shui, we don't have this ability. Once we enter the canyon, there is only one path left. If we are surrounded by others, we will have nowhere to escape."
Shui Yongquan knew that they were incompetent. These were just stragglers. Their mission was to guard the mouth of the canyon and continue to hold off the enemy after Li Qi was killed.
When we arrived at Baizu Cave, the monsters here were the main force in the battle.
They are of different levels, but they are loyal to Shui Yongquan!
An eagle flew over and said in Shui Yongquan's ear: "Qiu Luoye has defenses on both roads, and the forces on both sides are equal."
Shui Yongquan sneered: "I knew he would do this. He would rush when he saw people, and divide his troops when he couldn't see people. His wooden head can only use this wooden method.
You go to the canyon to make some noise, don't do it too much, let Qiu Luoye send more people to the canyon."
...
Li Banfeng walked out of the canyon and found the wild boar hiding in the weeds with the help of the wire earrings.
"Old pig, I have something to discuss with you."
The wild boar didn't move. He thought he was hiding well and Li Banfeng couldn't see him.
"Old pig, I saw you."
The wild boar still didn't move, and sneered in his heart: Don't listen to him cheating me, he can't see me at all.
"I have something good for you." Li Banfeng took out a Xuanchi Dan.
The old pig smelled the fragrance of the elixir and stood up from the weeds: "What do you want me to do? I won't guard the canyon with you."
"I didn't ask you to guard the canyon, I just want you to help me move some stones, the bigger the better."
The centipede woman hung half of her body from the tree: "Moving stones will get you elixirs? How many do you want to move?"
Li Banfeng smiled and said: "That depends on how much strength you have. After moving the stones, you have to move wood."
The centipede mother shook the tentacles on her head: "You want us to help you make traps, my mother and I are really good at this, but you can't do without our elixirs."
"Don't worry, we can't do without them. Who else can make traps?"
Two bears, six deer, three centipedes and a python all crawled out of the grass and trees and looked at Li Banfeng.
...
The next day, Li Banfeng stayed in the Suishenju during the day and didn't come out. At night, he continued to use elixirs to ask people at the mouth of the mountain stream to help set traps.
On the third day, Li Banfeng painted in the Suishenju.
Hu~Hu~
The wheezing sound of the record player is still there.
The pendulum is against the back of Li Banfeng's hand, painting with him.
The Tang sword is grinding back and forth on the whetstone.
The wine gourd smacked his lips and said, "I really want to drink a sip."
The old teapot smiled and said, "Come over and drink tea if you want to. I can't drink the wine. Save it and wait until tomorrow."
The earring sobbed, "Master, I'm scared."
The pendulum spat and said, "Bitch, if you're scared, don't go out. Wait for the second lady to refine you."
The earring cried out.
The judge's pen snorted and said, "What time is it?"
Three words!
The judge's pen was also concerned.
Li Banfeng looked at the calendar hanging on the wall.
Calendar, an object that has been used in Prosperity until now.
It can be called a New Year picture, or a wall calendar. A picture is hung on the wall, and there are dates and solar terms under the picture.
Li Banfeng's calendar is more than one meter high, with a beautiful woman sitting in the picture.
Hearing Li Banfeng's question, the beautiful woman quickly raised a dial: "Sir, it's half past three now."
Next, we have to rely on the dial on the calendar to tell time, because the pocket watch is not accurate enough.
...
Xiao Chuanzi entered Ma Wu's wooden house: "Master Wu, I just went to Master Qi's plot, Master Qi is not here."
Ma Wu opened his pocket watch, it was four o'clock in the morning.
Has Master Qi left?
No way!
He should have let me know if he was leaving.
Zuo Wugang said beside him: "Master Wu, I have never seen the local gods fight, but I know this is a matter of life and death. Master Qi has left, and you should leave too."
Ma Wu walked to the door and saw Yan Zi, Xian Xian and Qiao Cui were all ready.
"Little Lang Ge, when are we leaving?"
Ma Wu frowned.
Has Master Qi really left?
…
At 4:30 in the morning, Tang Dao came to Li Banfeng, bowed and saluted, saying: "Ya Zhang bids farewell to Fengque, and the iron cavalry circles Longcheng!
My Lord, it's time to go to war!"
Li Banfeng looked at Tang Dao and felt that he looked like a general today.
"Can you cut one more sword?"
"Three swords are still three swords, but every sword will take the enemy's head!"
"Okay."
Li Banfeng first took all the magic weapons and went out to arrange the key positions.
At 4:45, he returned to Suishenju again and unfolded all 303 paintings.
Three were paintings, and 300 were prints.
Until 4:50, Li Banfeng broke his fingertips and began to smear blood on the paper.
After smearing blood, Li Banfeng came close to the record player.
He filled the fuel tank first, and then stared at the record player for a while.
There was a dust on the record tray, and Li Banfeng wiped it off carefully.
"Wait for me to come back."
Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat, took all the paper girls with him, and walked out of the residence.
Hu~
The wheezing sound of the record player was still there.
…
At 4:55, the paper girls were in their positions.
Without doing anything, the printed paper girls could last for 15 minutes.
At 4:58, the fog dissipated slightly, and Li Banfeng, who was hiding in the vines, vaguely saw the silhouette of the enemy.
In the past two days, Shui Yongquan has been constantly making a noise near the canyon. In order to ensure safety, Qiu Luoye deployed 60% of his troops near Baiman Valley.
He has an overall advantage in strength, so there is no reason to stick to it. When the war started today, he came to the entrance of the valley in person.
Li Banfeng hid in the vines and observed quietly.
According to his understanding, the name Qiu Luoye is very suitable for creatures like butterflies.
Or it could be a group of erratic ghost fire.
But Qiu Luoye, the local god, did not appear in the form of a will-o'-the-wisp. He showed himself.
On all fours, more than five meters tall, with a big head, a long nose, round ears, and no neck.
This is an elephant.
Why is the elephant called Luoye?
Woo~Buzz!
At five o'clock, the horn sounded again, and the local god started the war!
Qiu Luoye was ready to lead his men into the canyon to fight Shui Yongquan.
His tactics were very simple. If Shui Yongquan was in the canyon, the two sides would fight directly. If the troops were not enough, he would transfer troops from the vicinity of the cave.
If Shui Yongquan attacked from the cave, he would lead his troops to support the cave.
Qiu Luoye was about to order a charge, but in the valley, the vines trembled in the mist, as if thousands of troops were coming.
Shui Yongquan's troops were more than Qiu Luoye had predicted.
Qiu Luoye ordered: "The whole army waits for my order, and we will fight after they leave the canyon."
At five o'clock and one o'clock, the enemy did not come out.
Dead branches and broken leaves were flying in the valley, and the enemy seemed to be gathering troops at the entrance of the valley.
Qiu Luoye shouted: "Prepare to attack!"
At 5:02, the valley was dusty. Qiu Luoye had not issued an order to attack. He was not sure how many enemy troops there were in the valley.
A scorpion came closer and said in a low voice: "They seem to have more people than us. Let's allocate more people."
A fox shook his head beside him: "Don't act rashly. Let's see what happens."
At 5:03, the valley suddenly became silent.
The fox said to Qiu Luoye: "Master, there is a mystery here. The enemy must have an ambush."
Why is there no movement suddenly?
Qiu Luoye couldn't understand it either.
In fact, the reason is very simple. The paper beauty made by Li Banfeng can only last for three minutes when doing physical work.
Shaking vines, throwing leaves, and raising sand are all very physically demanding.
This is the tactic taught by his wife. You don't need to spread too much bait, but the momentum must be great, so that the enemy wants to fight, but doesn't dare to fight!
It's not right to attack, and it's not right not to attack. Qiu Luoye was hesitating, and a pheasant took off: "I'll go in and check it out first."
According to the tactics taught by his wife, if you encounter a flying thing, you must shoot it down immediately, this is to blind the enemy's eyes.
But Li Banfeng didn't have this strength. This pheasant had a third-level cultivation and flew very high. Li Banfeng couldn't reach her, so he could only squat in the vines and wait and see.
The pheasant wandered around and flew back: "Master, there are no enemy troops in the valley."
The fox asked: "Is there no enemy?"
The pheasant answered cautiously: "I said I didn't see it. There are vines all over the Baiman Valley. I can't see clearly. Maybe it's hidden."
Of course she can't see it. The paper-like girl made by Li Banfeng has now become shredded paper. Li Banfeng is a fourth-level house cultivator and was ignored by her.
Qiu Luoye became more and more anxious, not knowing whether he should attack the valley by force. Fox suggested that he continue to wait and see, and Shanji reminded him: "Master, if there is no enemy, we should rush over directly. The brothers don't want to wait!"
This group of monsters is not an army. Just like Shui Yongquan said, Qiu Luoye's men are a mob.
They followed the local gods to fight, all for the sake of earning cultivation. They gathered together and finished the battle as soon as possible. No one wanted to waste time here. If they continued to waste time, people's hearts would be scattered.
In a moment of anxiety, Qiu Luoye called a horse-headed man: "You take your subordinates to explore the way first."
The horse-headed man didn't want to go, and he didn't know what was going on in the valley.
Qiu Luoye nodded: "I'll give you the first merit!"
The horse-headed man agreed, and the first merit would give him twice the cultivation.
Twenty horse-headed men rushed into the valley.
Are these horse-headed men highly cultivated?
Not high.
All on the second level.
But they run very fast, not inferior to the second-level brigade cultivators.
In less than a minute, they ran more than three miles. According to the tactics of the wife, this kind of people can be ignored and must not be chased and beaten.
But Li Banfeng can't ignore it. According to the agreement between him and Shui Yongquan, as long as one person rushes out of the canyon, Li Banfeng will lose.
A group of horse-headed people didn't see the enemy along the way. The leader of the horse-headed people snorted coldly: "It's all bluffing!"
He stretched his neck and prepared to make three long calls to inform Qiu Luoye.
Li Banfeng controlled the pendulum and cut the vines on the cliff. Huge rocks roared down.
This is the mechanism that wild boars, centipedes and others helped Li Banfeng set up.
Three horse-headed people were pressed under the boulders. The leader of the horse-headed people neighed three times, two long and one short, meaning that there was an ambush in the valley.
The leader continued to run forward with his men, and walked more than a mile away. When they ran to a corner of the valley, the rocks stopped falling.
It's not that Li Banfeng didn't prepare enough rocks, but that the pendulum couldn't catch up with the group of horse-headed people.
"It's just a small fight!" The horse-headed man was about to neigh again, but suddenly he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
Where did the alcohol come from?
The horse-headed man realized that something was wrong and shouted, "Go quickly..."
As soon as he said these two words, Tang Dao suddenly appeared and chopped off the head of the horse-headed leader.
This was the first ambush point chosen by Li Banfeng, and Tang Dao had been waiting here.
The horse-headed leader was dead, and the rest of the horse-headed men didn't know where to run.
Should he continue to explore the way or run back?
While hesitating, Li Banfeng struck a match, ignited the alcohol mist, and quickly ran to the upwind area.
The flames rose, and the alcohol mist seemed to have life and stuck to the horse-headed men.
The horse-headed men caught fire one after another. Without their leader, they fell into panic. Some ran back and were greeted by the pendulum with rocks.
Some walked forward and were trapped in the flames of the alcohol mist.
A pound of wine is too limited. More than half of it was used up in a blink of an eye. The wine gourd was closed and the remaining half was saved.
When the flames disappeared, there were still three horse-headed men alive. One horse-headed man rushed to the end of the valley, and two horse-headed men avoided the falling rocks and turned back.
No matter who turned back.
The one who rushed forward could not be left alive.
Li Banfeng ran all the way and caught up with the horse-headed man. He came behind the horse-headed man in one step, swung his sickle, and chiseled through the horse-headed man's head.
The first round, survived!
Li Banfeng opened his pocket watch and saw that it was five o'clock and eight minutes!
It survived for eight minutes!
I will bluff him again later and take him three minutes.
Although there is not much wine left in the wine gourd, Li Banfeng has set up many traps and can hold on for another three minutes.
Rely on the water gate for another three minutes.
The enemy army also needs time to walk. Seeing that the autumn leaves are so big, let him walk slowly and delay for another three minutes. Isn't that enough time?
Woo~
An elephant cry!
Li Banfeng was stunned.
Qiu Luoye didn't give Li Banfeng a chance to bluff, he rushed in himself.
Is he so reckless?
Isn't he afraid of my ambush?
Qiu Luoye really is not afraid.
After listening to the description of the horse-headed man, he was even less afraid.
"Throw stones! Set fire! Water springs! Who do you think I am? Can't you show some real skills!"
Hearing the footsteps, Li Banfeng still hasn't seen Qiu Luoye's figure.
But he knows why this local god is called Qiu Luoye.
Every step the elephant takes, the dead leaves on the vines fall like raindrops.
PS: The bloody battle begins.
