Chapter 825: Magic Weapon
Ma Jichang's former army was scattered by Hui Hongying, and most of them surrendered to Hui Hongying. For those who voluntarily surrendered, follow-up officials immediately followed up, distributed the land, and made a register. Whether it is taxes or children's education, they are treated the same as the people outside Tianshi Mountain.
There are cars in front and ruts in the back, and there are so many benefits after surrendering, seeing that the good land has been divided by the predecessors, the people behind are naturally anxious. Not to mention that Hui Hongying set up an altar in the newly built village to show his magic skills, and it also gave the rebels who were still following Ma Jichang an excuse to surrender.
"We were all deceived by Ma Jichang, he is the same as us, we are all mortals, why should we fight for him?"
Such encouraging words began to circulate among the middle and upper echelons of officers, and gradually became the voice of the whole army. People don't remember who was the first to say this, as if it had always been the will of the whole people.
Overnight, Ma Jichang's army surrendered in formation, and those who were willing to stay and gain fame for their military exploits were immediately arranged to join the army to take up corresponding positions, and those who were unwilling to continue the war were given land for cultivation.
Ma Jichang didn't understand why since Wei Guanlan's father and son came to Tianshi Mountain, the Xiuzhen sect on Tianshi Mountain changed their faces. Even his daughter and grandson have long been hiding somewhere, and Zhao Feifei is nowhere to be found.
Just when Ma Jichang lamented that people's hearts were sinister and he wanted to die in frustration, a gap suddenly appeared in Hui Hongying's army. This gap is the only way to Tianshikou. And Tianshikou is the only way to Daozhou.
This gave Ma Jichang hope. Although with his current strength, it is impossible to break through Tianshikou, let alone defeat Daozhou. But he knew that there was a mountain road that could bypass Tianshikou and go west directly into the Chudi Forest.
Ma Jichang naturally didn't believe that Hui Hongying would make such a big mistake, and this road must have been deliberately left by Hui Hongying. He also knew that not far away in Tianshikou, Wei Guanlan's two thousand Praetorian Guards were waiting for work, ready to tighten their pockets and wrap themselves in it at any time.
Ma Jichang guessed that maybe the way that Hui Hongying got out of the way was to let himself drill into Wei Guanlan's pocket and give this credit to Guanlan.
However, at this time, Ma Jichang received a letter from the Chudi Forest.
Ma Jichang still had more than 1,000 personal soldiers around him at this time, and after some pre-war mobilization in a mountain col, this team of more than 1,000 people quietly went to the direction of Tianshikou.
The night in Tianshi Mountain was quiet, and occasionally there were a few roars of wild beasts. The team of more than 1,000 people was also quiet, after all, not far from them was Hui Hongying's troops.
"Hit the Tianshikou, there is a monkey fairy there." This was a promise made by the commander of the horse to all the people before the army left.
The army continued to move through the mountains and forests. In front of them, walked a tall figure, who was none other than their main stallion.
These thousand people must have been sad in their hearts, and they all have a story in their hearts about loyalty. Be faithful to your lord until death.
After the departure of the thousand people, a short figure emerged from behind a huge ancient tree, and the short figure seemed to make a "click" sound in the moonlight, and the short figure grew higher and higher until it fully recovered its burly body.
Ma Jichang looked at the distant army with a complicated expression, and disappeared into the vast night in the blink of an eye. As long as he can pass through the dense forest in front of him and pass through an inaccessible Grand Canyon, he can directly enter the Chudi Forest.
This dense forest horse has walked many times on weekdays, so although the roots are deep and leafy, the roots are connected to the rhizome and the stem, but the horse is not too long. He followed the route he had explored during the day and headed for the Grand Canyon.
As soon as you arrive at the Grand Canyon, someone will come to meet you. The mana of the immortal who responded was very strong, even if Wei Youqing came, he didn't have to worry.
The longer Ma Jichang stayed in Tianshi Mountain, the more he knew about the pattern of immortals in the human world. Although the inside story of the three clans in the Ice and Fire Realm is not known to most people, they know that there are three giants in the Immortal Realm now.
The first is Hua Shixiong from Washington, the second is the flying monkey from the Chudi Forest, and the third is Hou Wei Youqing from Jiangnan.
Outsiders don't know which of the three is stronger and which is weaker, and the three of them never seem to have fought each other. However, everyone guessed that in terms of cultivation years, it should be the highest Hua Shixiong in Washington, who has never heard his voice and not seen him.
The Flying Monkey has only recently risen to prominence, and it is said that he has some kind of strong backup. This powerful backup can crush the entire Chudi Forest, so that the once unknown descendants of the Monkey Clan suddenly increase their strength and sit on the first place in the Chudi Forest Immortal Cultivation Realm.
The strength of Hou Wei Youqing in Jiangnan was obvious to all during the first battle of Wanquan Mountain. The strongest man in the Chudi Forest died at the hands of Wei Youqing.
Ma Jichang sighed deeply, and he couldn't imagine that the child who was almost refined by Yu Zhenguan as a medicine primer back then has now become his fierce enemy, which is really a trick.
Ma Ji pondered about the past, and walked through the dense forest along the secret path that he often walked hidden in the artemisia grass more than half a man high.
But gradually, he felt that something seemed wrong, although the grass was deep and dense, this dense forest was not too big. Ma Jichang has been cultivating in Tianshi Mountain for many years, and the reason why the quicksand sect is called "quicksand" is because their feet are as fast as quicksand.
But now it was the second half of the night, and Ma Jichang still hadn't walked out of a dense forest. He stopped, scythe, and looked around, but found nothing wrong.
It was still a familiar jungle during the day, and although there were no moons and stars in the sky, it was not very dark. The direction also doesn't look wrong, everything is normal.
And there were bursts of shouting and killing sounds from the direction of Tianshikou, which showed that he was indeed heading west, and the speed was the same as that of the army heading to Tianshikou.
Ma Ji Chang thought that it was probably because the road in the dense forest was too narrow and rugged, so that his speed slowed down a little.
Seeing that the sky began to glow slightly white, the flying monkeys floating in the air of the Grand Canyon began to be a little anxious. He hesitated for a moment, flapped his wings, and flew towards the dense forest next to the Grand Canyon.
Suddenly, his movements slowed for a moment, and there seemed to be an invisible wall in the firmament blocking his path. The Flying Monkey opens the Eye of Heaven to see what this wall is.
He was surprised to find that this "wall" was not really a wall, but a high-speed wheel, and this wall was the afterimage of the wheel.
The flying monkey pinched his hands, and a red fire sword flew out of his hand, but before it could fly to the "wall", it was fanned out by the powerful aura of the high-speed rotating wheel.
"What kind of magic weapon is this?" The flying monkey was surprised that this was not the air shield that Wei Youqing was accustomed to, but a sophisticated magic weapon.
