Chapter 229: The Practice of the Mind Science
The makeshift shack couldn't stop the cold wind at all. The young man, known as Tietou in his hometown, jumped to the ground and yelled, "It's not winter yet, are people going to freeze to death in this damn place?"
Tietou held an unknown fire, but it couldn't warm his body at all. He put on all the clothes he could wear, but it seemed to be covered with layers of cold iron sheets. He strode outside the house and pointed. Looking at the faint morning light on the horizon, he cursed loudly and insulted all the eighteen generations of Sun's ancestors.
The neighbors who had not been asleep all woke up. Although they were all fleeing people and did not know each other's ins and outs, Tietou's posture was enough to shut everyone up. It was not until he was tired of scolding that a weak voice came from far away. came from everywhere, "I heard from people in the city that this is an evil wind sent by demon soldiers, specifically to make us suspicious."
"Doubt? What do you doubt? Stand up and talk to me." Tietou became even more angry. He usually felt hot after scolding, but this time it had no effect. He was still cold, and his whole body felt like he was immersed in ice water.
No one said anything, and no one stood up.
But Tietou did have doubts, and turned to look at the city wall that was not too far away, "The people in the city are all liars!" He suddenly understood the source of the chill, "They have thick walls to block the wind, but they let us It’s freezing outside, these guys want to wait for us to die and steal our stuff, right?”
Tietou was empty-handed and ran away when the monster soldiers came to kill him. He fled here alone. However, the other refugees brought some property with them. Because they didn't have much, they cherished it even more. Tietou's casual guess got a lot of approval.
"Let's go into the city. It's warm there. They are all people who have fled. Why should the rich live in the city and the poor have to live outside the city?" Tietou took the lead and walked towards the city gate, followed sparsely by some young people. Soon more people followed, and finally they formed a torrent of teams. Many of them didn't even know what they were doing. They vaguely heard that they were going to the city to pick up things, and no one wanted to miss it.
The team was huge, and Tietou was at the front. He didn't know what he was going to do. He just raised his arms and shouted "Enter the city" from time to time, and the people behind him would repeat it, becoming more and more excited.
The city gate was not closed, which made the angry crowd slightly disappointed, but it did not slow down their pace. When passing through the city gate. Someone suddenly said: "Do you think the wind in the city is not so cold?"
This sentence seemed to pop out of the iron head, and he immediately felt that his body felt a lot warmer, "Damn it, the people in the city are doing evil. They bribed those magicians to let the cold wind blow only outside the city. It will freeze us to death."
The residents of the city were awakened by the influx of refugees and took to the streets. Soon they were mixed with people from outside the city, and no one could tell who lived in the city and who lived outside the city.
In fact,
Most of the local residents of Duanliu City had already fled to Dongjie Country and never came back. The people in the city just arrived one step ahead of the people outside the city.
It was already daybreak and the wind hadn't stopped, but it was indeed not as cold as the night. People's bodies were cold. But their hearts felt hot, and they couldn't find any more differences between the city and the outside. They began to spread and believe other rumors.
No one can explain the whole process. The instigator, Tietou, soon became a member of the excited crowd. The entire riot was unorganized, making it even more chaotic. Thousands of people wandered the streets, looking for opportunities to vent.
None of the Xuanfu Army soldiers who usually patrolled the streets disappeared, and many people smelled a conspiracy from this small incident. "Where are the soldiers? Who are they protecting? Are they trying to escape and leave us with the demon soldiers?"
A series of questions went unanswered, but they magically changed the direction of their anger. The speculation soon turned into facts, "The Immortal and the Xuanfu Army have escaped." "There is no one to protect Duanliu City!" "Go to Dongjie Country. The bridge has been closed!" "We are thrown here to stop the demon soldiers with our flesh and blood!"
The crowd surged like an ocean current, making a big circle in the city, and gradually gathered at the gate of the military camp in the east city.
The soldiers of the Xuanfu Army were all there, with complete armor and neatly arranged, blocking the entrance of the military camp, prohibiting anyone from intruding. The soldiers and civilians were dozens of steps apart, glaring at each other, and the air in the middle was like a wine skin filled with pressure. A little more force and it could break.
"Let General Mu come out!" Tietou once again acted as a vanguard. He absorbed too many rumors and came up with a weird and shocking scam on his own. "He is using the lives of the people in the city to wash away the curse on himself, and you are still doing it for him." He sacrificed his life?"
"He is cursed alone, but he cannot implicate everyone." Someone echoed, the crowd was in a state of confusion, and any statement would receive a large number of responses, as if it was their own original idea.
"What's the difference between an immortal and a demon soldier? They know magic, but they don't care about the lives of ordinary people!" After each statement is shouted out, it will always inspire a more extreme statement.
The crowd was restless and slowly moved forward. Some people scolded, some persuaded, and some shouted the name of the soldier on the opposite side, begging him to return to his relatives.
The soldiers of the Xuanfu Army were also shaken. Most of them had fled here from various cities. Within a few days of joining the Duanliu City defenders, many of their relatives and friends were among the people approaching step by step.
"Everyone, listen to me." Captain Huang hid behind the soldiers. His voice could not travel far and could not suppress the shouts outside. "Don't be fooled. This is an evil wind created by the demon soldiers. General Mu is not in the camp. He and the immortals are looking for the source of the evil wind."
Tietou stood at the front and was one of the few people who heard Captain Huang's words. He loudly retorted: "What evil wind, what perverse wind, if General Mu hadn't been cursed, there would be these ghost things?"
His voice was loud, and what he said could be heard by everyone, so he attracted a series of responses, "We can't let everyone be unlucky because of him." "He can't even solve the curse, how can he protect Duanliu City?"
Captain Huang was extremely angry and poked his head out from behind the soldiers, "Don't be ungrateful, without General Mu..."
A considerable number of refugee workers had only arrived in the past few days. They had only heard of General Mu but not seen him, and they couldn't listen to Captain Huang's words at all, and their shouting became louder and louder.
The situation was about to get out of control. A man squeezed past Tietou and actually surpassed him to walk in front. Tietou was very angry. Just as he was about to punch this ignorant guy, the man in the cloak turned around, faced the angry crowd, stared at Tietou, and took off his hood, "I am General Mu."
His voice was not loud. But everyone heard it and immediately quieted down.
Mu Xingqiu did not fly in the sky, but walked among the crowd. This was a rare practice experience for him. He kept touching people's hearts with the mind illusion technique, but did not exert any influence. He simply observed how emotions brewed, developed, merged, formed, and finally released into a powerful force.
He was like the Taoist Linzi who had been studying the Qilin in the pile of old papers. Finally seeing the real Qilin with his own eyes could verify whether what he had learned before was correct. As long as the three Qilins came out for a walk, the Taoist Linzi's eyes would not leave for a moment.
It was also like a warrior who had been studying the secrets of swordsmanship for many years in the deep mountains and old forests. He knew every move clearly, but he had never held a real sword and never knew how powerful he was. He could only be considered a real swordsman after he walked out of the mountains and forests. He got a sharp weapon and frequently fought with fierce opponents.
Mu Xingqiu practiced mind illusion for many years. He practiced boxing and spells every day, but he never had a suitable opponent. In the days in Duanliu City, he gradually got the hang of it. In his eyes, the riot in the city this time was like a demon-killing drill in the Five Elements Department. He didn't make any moves, but he was improving his illusion skills little by little. The most important thing was that he could feel this improvement.
"Are you really General Mu?" Tietou asked in surprise. The young man in front of him was quite different from the general he imagined.
"I am General Mu." Mu Xingqiu repeated, secretly running the Crane Flying Method of the Nine Changes of the Beast, and gradually adding other methods. He didn't need to recite spells silently or perform boxing. He just used his mind method to speak normally, and he could gently grasp the emotions of the crowd that had been twisted into one. The next thing to do was to guide them.
"I am the surviving Taoist priest Pangshan. I am a member of the Xuanfu Army who defeated the demon soldiers twice. I am the general who protected the last city of Xijie Kingdom. I am the one who stopped the demon soldiers and gave you a chance to escape. The demon soldiers regarded me as a great enemy and cursed me, but I didn't care. I can extinguish the demon fire, stop the dragon rain, and also stop this evil wind."
The crowd became quieter. Shame, regret, awe and other emotions that had existed but were at a low point suddenly prevailed. Anger and suspicion were just a layer of floating sand, blown by the evil wind and blown away by another gust of wind.
Mu Xingqiu raised his right hand and showed his electric whip. He wanted to choose the best time to consolidate his victory. One day, illusion will make it easier for him to guide the emotions of the crowd. Now he needs the help of some miracles.
The colorful whip body instantly became longer, carrying lightning and slowly hitting the crowd.
The crowd was terrified and hurriedly dodged, making way for a thin passage.
The long whip hit the ground almost right next to some people's bodies. Tietou was one of them. He stared at the lightning in a daze and almost forgot that he was still alive.
The long whip flew up again, rolling up something. The thing was lying underground and had been wandering around with the crowd. At this time, it was caught in the air and twisted its body desperately, making a shrill cry.
"Earth Escape Walker, w.as.c. It was he who created the evil wind and made you suspicious."
Everyone looked up. The Earth Escape Walker looked like a hairless pig, but his limbs were like those of a human, not hooves. He couldn't get rid of the long whip, and lowered his head to threaten the whip holder, "The Cursed One, you offended the Earth Escape Tribe, we..."
Mu Xingqiu said nothing, and urged his magic power. The Earth Escape Walker was cut into two pieces by the long whip. Blood splashed like a rainstorm. The crowd on the ground screamed in panic. A figure flew over and took away all the flesh and blood that fell from the sky.
Shen Hao flew far away, turned around and nodded to Mu Xingqiu. Several Pangshan Taoist priests had been tracking the source of the evil wind. After confirming it, they hinted to Mu Xingqiu, allowing him to kill it easily.
"The wind has stopped!" Tietou said loudly.
Mu Xingqiu stood with his head held high. He had already grasped the hearts of the people in the city and was confident about how to deal with the curse in the next few days. The most urgent need for Duanliu City was reinforcements, a large number of reinforcements.
The crowd was silent for a while, and suddenly cheered.
