Chapter 406: All Fell Silently
The plaque outside the Patriarch's Hall is very high from the ground. Even though Xu Chenggao was accomplished in physical training and agile, it still took a lot of effort to stick the black talisman paper under the three words "The Patriarch's Hall".
However, after the black talisman paper was pasted, it did not appear as Xu Chenggao, Zhou Wei and others imagined, such as falling flowers, red lights, brilliant colors, and ethereal sounds. Ordinary, mediocre, no outstanding performance.
If Patriarch Shi hadn't arrived at the Patriarch's Hall just now and showed extraordinary power, Xu Chenggao and others would have suspected that it was a talisman paper scribbled by a child and had no effect at all. Zhou Wei usually made it himself. Talisman seals have more soul power fluctuations than it, and they seem to belong to the immortal family.
"Haha, this is probably what the Taoist scriptures say about divine objects concealing themselves, right?" Zhou Wei finally found an explanation from the Taoist books.
Xu Chenggao only had this life-saving straw to grasp, so naturally he did not dare to doubt: "What Master Zhou said is true. When I put the talisman on it just now, I felt a throbbing in my heart. I am afraid that this is the god given by Patriarch Shi." The manifestation of the effectiveness of the substance.”
In fact, Xu Chenggao was too focused on how the black talisman paper would behave at the time, and did not pay attention to his own feelings at all. Speaking of it at this time, he just added confidence and gave himself psychological comfort. Anyway, strong emotions such as excitement, worry, and expectation will cause heart palpitations. It's nonsense.
But when Xu Chenggao said this, Ruan Shi, Zhou Wei, Wan Xue, Xu Hongda and others were all thoughtful. Among them, Wan Xue frowned and said: "I didn't pay attention to it at first, but I just listened to what Your Majesty said. , I thought about it carefully, and at the moment when the black talisman was pasted under the plaque, there was indeed a strange, creepy throbbing in my heart, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, making it difficult to take it seriously. "
The rest of the people nodded in agreement with Wan Xue's words, which made Xu Chenggao filled with surprises, his confidence greatly increased, and he happily said: "Since the immortal talisman given by Patriarch Shi has worked, as long as the monks of Dongyuan Sect enter Luojing City at dawn, they will definitely Even if there is a dead end, the people and soldiers who were bewitched and induced by them will surely wake up and the world will be peaceful from now on."
"Even if the common people and soldiers continue to rebel, without the monks to guard them, we can use some magic to make them flee in panic." Zhou Wei saw that Xu Chenggao was overjoyed and oversimplified things, so he quickly added, don't If you are careless, you will die before victory comes.
Anyway, the Dongyuan Sect relied on dozens of monks in the out-of-body stage to crush them all the way. Their soldiers and followers were all a mob. When the time came, they would use some frightening and frightening techniques to make those in front flee in all directions. The rest naturally fell apart.
Only then did Xu Chenggao feel that he was too carried away and lost his vigilance. He quickly calmed down his emotions and turned to talk about the power of the immortal talisman: "I wonder how the words written on the immortal talisman of Patriarch Shi will come true? Will it be the Dongyuan Sect? The monks went crazy and killed each other as soon as they entered the city?"
After all, he was born in the Xu family and knew a little bit about Taoism, so he felt that the immortal talisman given by Patriarch Shi was an illusion or magic charm.
Xu Hongda also has a strong curiosity about this issue: "Pindao once saw the saying about life and death in Taoist books. The immortal talisman given by Patriarch Shi may be similar to this. When the time comes, there will be ghosts, soldiers and ghosts coming out of the ground. , a monk from Sona Dongyuan Sect.”
"Pindao thinks that magic weapons and gods will descend from the sky, with brilliant rays of light and thousands of auspicious auras, making people worship him." Wan Xue said full of fantasy, and Ruan agreed with Wan Xue's statement.
Zhou Wei thought for a long time in an mature manner: "This talisman turned black, symbolizing death. It may have turned into countless death spells and flew out to kill the Dongyuan Sect monks."
"When the Patriarch came just now, there was purple lightning everywhere. I thought that as long as the Dongyuan Sect monks entered the city, divine thunder would descend from the sky and kill them!" Wei Jing interjected.
There were different opinions, and it was difficult to tell who was superior. Xu Chenggao clapped his hands together and said, "It's almost dawn. Why don't we all go to the back tower to see with our own eyes how the monks of the Dongyuan Sect will die."
This statement was in line with everyone's wishes. The ancestor's magical methods can only be seen once in a thousand years, so the six people went to the eighteen-story tower behind the Guizhen Temple. It is the tallest building in Luojing City. From a high position, the entire Luojing City can be seen at a glance.
…………
The sky was dimming, and the gate facing the divine capital city had been opened. On both sides of the city gate, two rows of people kneeling in darkness, who looked like they were pampered, were all the civil servants and ministers of the Da'an Dynasty, as well as most of the military generals.
They all knelt on their knees, stretched out their necks, and looked outside the city, as if they were looking forward to it.
"Li Shangshu, didn't you say yesterday that you would die for your country?" A minister with pale hair looked at the black-haired old man next to him and said with a sarcastic smile.
The old man replied without changing his expression: "The sword at home is too blunt, and Li is afraid that the wound will be ugly and unsightly. But Xu Shangshu, aren't you prepared to swallow gold and die for the country?"
"It tastes bad, and it's stuck in the throat and makes me feel uncomfortable." Xu Shangshu didn't show any embarrassment.
The two of them were still going on when they heard the ministers near the city gate shout: "Come, come, be quiet, the divine envoys and divine soldiers of the Dongyuan Sect are coming." So they immediately lowered their bodies, and their upper bodies were lying on the ground. on the ground.
First, a small group of cavalry appeared at the city gate, but they only turned around, looked inside the city gate, and then went back.
After a while, the army arrived, and the black crowd was endless. The most conspicuous among them were the dozens of magic soldiers wearing golden armor, and the general guardians wearing bright silver armor who guarded them.
"Shao Divine Envoy, you see, the gate of Shendu City has been opened. On the road behind the door are the officials of the Puppet Dynasty kneeling to welcome the arrival of the god. Moreover, the people they sent to contact said that the people who returned to the True Sect have already run away. , scattered, without any resistance." A surrendered general rode up to the leader of the golden armored soldiers, then dismounted and reported back.
The approaching golden-armored divine soldier was tall and dignified in appearance, but golden flames often flashed in his eyes. He raised his eyes slightly, pointed at Luojing City arrogantly and said: "The god is a true god, and wherever he goes, he will be a paradise on earth." , the Kingdom of God on the earth, how can those left-dao monks compete with them? If they run faster this time, otherwise they will have to sacrifice their blood to the gods. Humph, when they enter Luojing City, they will go to Guizheng Temple and smash their ancestor statues. , welcome the statue of the god inside, and see if they can brag that their ancestor is a true immortal who has ascended in the daytime!"
"Smash the statue of the founder of the Guizhen Sect! Enter the statue of the Yingshen! Smash the statue of the founder of the Guizhen Sect! Enter the statue of the Yingshen!" Dozens of divine soldiers and hundreds of guardians behind the envoy Shao shouted in unison, with a powerful momentum.
The military general also shouted a few words, and then asked: "Envoy Shao, what troops will you arrange to enter the city later?"
"All the divine soldiers and protectors should enter the city first. Later you will select 20,000 elite soldiers to guard everywhere after entering the city." Divine Envoy Shao spoke without hesitation.
"All the magic soldiers and protectors have entered the city? What if we encounter an ambush?" The general asked in shock. Thinking about it, leaving some magic soldiers and protectors outside was both a deterrent and a response.
"What are you afraid of? If the Guizhen Sect is really capable, how can we get here? They are just heretics who know how to do some sparse magic. The so-called ancestors are simply not high in cultivation. They will die at the end of their lifespan. What kind of ascension is that? Become an immortal! Just deceive the world! Huh, I have already investigated and found no trace of formations in Luojing City. With so many magic soldiers and guardians here, why are you afraid of an ambush?" Shao Shenshi said with disdain. With one move, he took the lead and headed towards the city gate.
Dozens of divine soldiers and hundreds of guardians followed him. The general had no choice but to bring thousands of personal soldiers to escort him, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to select elite soldiers to enter the city.
Feeling the vibration of the horse's hoofbeats, the ministers and generals buried their upper bodies lower, pressed their foreheads against the street, and shouted: "Welcome the Lord Dongyuan to the city! The Lord Dongyuan will be blessed by the people and live forever."
Shao Shen rushed into the city gate on horseback, ignoring the ministers kneeling on both sides, and quickly went in the direction of Gui Zhen Guan. The divine soldiers and guardians behind him also followed in a few breaths, and then It was the guardsmen who jogged into the city.
Feeling that the divine soldiers and protectors were passing by, the ministers and military generals quietly raised their heads and looked at each other, praising each other: "The divine weapons of the Dongyuan Sect are indeed very powerful. No one can compare with the Guizhen Sect!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw the leading golden-armored divine soldier rolling down from his horse without any warning, and they were suddenly shocked.
After Divine Envoy Shao entered Luojing City, he galloped for a few breaths, only to feel that his breathing had stopped and his heart stopped beating. He sank into darkness before he could even activate his divine power, lost consciousness, and rolled off his horse.
The divine soldiers and guardians behind him saw this abnormal situation and reined in their horses to stop. However, the horse stopped, and the people on the horses rolled to the ground. After rolling several times, they lay still on the ground.
The soldiers at the back and the ministers and generals next to them were all stunned and had difficulty reacting. They could only see the face of the silver-armored protector rolling not far away, showing a gloomy cyan paleness only seen in the dead.
At this time, one of the magic soldiers suddenly jumped up, and countless golden lotuses appeared around him, protecting him and flying out of the city. However, in the eyes of the soldiers and ministers, they saw that the magic soldier gradually closed his eyes. , his face turned pale, and then he fell directly from mid-air to the street. Countless golden light spots emitted from his body, which dissipated in the air together with the golden lotus. Compared with the position where he jumped just now, he was only less than ten feet closer to the city gate. .
Weird, terrifying, unbelievable, unbelievable, and heart-breaking. There was silence and silence near the city gate. All these emotions were brewing in the silence.
The unknown is the biggest fear. Those magic soldiers and protectors just died in front of them, silently and strangely. But they didn't even know how they died, and they didn't find out. It seemed like they were supposed to die here, so Everything they did was just to die here, which made them not afraid or panicked.
