Chapter 994: Mortal Death
Huangfu Yanghao looks just over thirty, his real age is sixty-seven years old, he began to learn to write symbols at the age of ten, and most of his life has been dealing with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the written charms are as vast as a sea of smoke, enough to equip an army of tens of thousands of people, and he really likes to write symbols, and enjoys the happiness of being consistent after lifting the pen.
The boss doesn't appreciate it? He doesn't care at all, anyway, the quality of writing talismans has nothing to do with the number of hats on his head, when Xin Youtao pushed him directly from the five-fold crown to the eight-fold crown, others came to congratulate him, he said: "The chief talisman has been replaced? Who is Xin Youtao? How many talismans can you write?"
He didn't care, "It's usually enough, does the blacksmith have to be able to dance the sword and make the sword? Some people sacrifice talismans, some people write talismans, I just write talismans, and other things are not in my charge." β
When the imperial capital was burned for the first time more than ten years ago, he was still silently writing talismans in a remote town, and after winning the eightfold crown, he took his whole family into Beijing, but encountered the difficulty of burning the city again.
At that time, he stayed in the talisman tower, and was checking the rune ink materials one by one, and when several colleagues told him to escape together, he found that there was already a sea of fire outside, and it was about to burn to the talisman tower where he was.
His home burned down and his family was spared, but he silently counted the materials he had brought with him during the flight.
"Standing up to the heavens and the earth!" Huangfu Yanghao shouted at everyone, "I have written it, it is perfect, and I can sacrifice the talisman at any time!"
"Another example of people who can't control their mana. Zhao Chuye said calmly, and notified the talisman master in the city with a spell, and soon ten people flew up to the city tower, "please" the excited talisman writer, and controlled the four-legged square tripod, which has now been reborn and has become an extremely powerful weapon.
"I can help you get your memories back, Demon Soul. As long as you're willing to join forces with me. β
"Why do you call me Demon Soul, who is Demon Soul?" Mu Xingqiu had forgotten too many things.
"Explanations are superfluous, and when you get your memory back, you will naturally understand everything. β
Mu Xingqiu thought for a while, "I want to take away the people who were captured by the Fu Master, this is my promise." β
"They are of little use anymore, take them with you, and soon you won't care if they live or die. β
Mu Xingqiu glanced up at Shou Que, her anger was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that she would attack desperately at any time.
"As long as you can control her, I can stop the spell. Zhao said. The grievances between Nianxinke and Dao Tong have nothing to do with him.
"Good. Mu Xingqiu agreed.
Zhao Chuye took back the bronze mirror, copper seal and candle, and kept the iron ruler and golden bell in his hand.
Shou Que's expression gradually eased, fell behind Mu Xingqiu, and whispered, "This person is too powerful to deal with." β
"He is willing to release the people, there is no need to fight. β
Shou Que let out a long breath and patted his chest, "Great, but I really don't like to see him." β
"Please. Zhao Chuye flew to the city tower first.
Mu Xingqiu followed. Shou Que waited for a while before flying up with the others, Fu Lin and the others didn't understand the cause and effect of the fighting method at all, and the handshake between the two sides was even more inexplicable. They now knew that their thighs were not easy to hold, so they followed closely by Shou Que, a woman who was eccentric but easy to talk to. The most important thing is that she can catch up with Eun Gong.
The seven Fu Master stood on the side of the city tower, and when they saw Zhao Chuye, they all saluted him, but pretended not to see the others. Two other bearded talisman masters were scrutinizing the quadruple tripod.
After a long time, a talisman master stepped forward and announced, "Perfection talisman." β
The talisman masters looked delighted.
The two testers retreated, Zhao Chuye approached Fang Ding, knocked lightly twice, nodded, expressed satisfaction, and then introduced: "Zhuozhou is an ancient city, this place Ding is even older, it was originally cast by the Wandi Mountain Torrent Furnace Branch, after several generations of dynasties, it has a history of more than 30,000 years now, and mortals have forgotten its use. β
Fu Lin stood up from Shou Que's side, he was a descendant of Empress Fu, no matter what others thought of him, he was still very proud of this identity, "We haven't forgotten, the local Ding is a magic weapon to suppress the Jiang Trouble, and the dynasty has changed, and it has never moved." After a pause, Fu Lin couldn't help but add: "The place tripod was made by the Taoist priest of Wandi Mountain, but the talisman on it was written by mortals with an iron pen. β
Zhao Chuye was noncommittal, and continued: "This tripod contains a variety of heavenly and earthly treasures, which is an excellent material for writing talismans, but ordinary ink does not leave traces on it, and new talismans must be written in blood ink. β
A talisman master respectfully interjected, "The Blood Ink Method has been lost for a long time, and it was Sect Master Zhao who re-passed it on to the Longbin Society. β
Mu Xingqiu and Shou Que have lost their memories, and they can't hear any special meaning in these words, but Fu Lin is deeply angry, "The method of blood and ink is not lost, but it was forbidden to learn and use it by the Longbin Association in the early years, it uses the blood of living people, and the written talisman must be used for a limited time, and when the talisman is sacrificed, the blood donor is either dead or injured......"
The nine soldiers were all startled when they heard the words "either dead or wounded", and looked at Mu Xingqiu together.
"I promise to save the living, not the dead. Mu Xingqiu said.
"Don't worry, listen to me. "Zhao Chuye is confident, and I believe that this will not be a problem later.
Fu Lin stepped out and stepped forward: "Sect Master Zhao is from the Xingshan Precept Section, where did he learn the Blood and Ink Method, and how did he learn about the history of the local Ding?"
Zhao Chuye turned his gaze to Fu Lin for the first time, glanced at it, and then turned back to Ding, "Four days ago in the morning, the Daotong Tower was unstable, I woke up from my thoughts, my mood moved slightly, and I had an ominous premonition, so I looked at the whole city and found that Zuo Liuying sent an illusion law body to notify a mortal and let her leave the imperial capital as soon as possible and go as far as possible, so I knew that everything was coming to an end." β
"I looked at the Daotong Pagoda again, not letting go of a single brick or stone, and after repeating it three times, I knew that a great calamity was coming. The ancestor spread the spell all over the world, in fact, it is a kind of foreshadowing, just like scattering oil everywhere before setting fire, the spell has been prepared, and then you can cast the calamity of the five elements, fire attack, earth attack, gold attack, water attack, wood attack can kill all mortals, and finally the attack of fire can get rid of most of the cultivators. β
Mu Xingqiu and the ignorant were fearless, the Fu Masters already knew about it, and they didn't react in particular, but the ten warriors were all dumbfounded, and Fu Lin said blankly: "Ancestor...... Why did he do this? What crime did a mortal commit? Did he not even let go of a Taoist priest?"
"The patriarch has the idea of the patriarch, I can't figure it out, and I have no intention of guessing. I only know that everyone has to protect themselves, Zuo Liuying reacts the fastest, and I have to make a plan. β
Zhao Chuye gently stroked Dingzu, "I spent an hour searching through the Taoist classics, and found that the calamity of the five elements is not unstoppable, and it only needs to dispel the spells that have been laid out in advance." But that's easier said than done, if I had the Arcana in my handβ" he sighed softly as he remembered the Pull Out Cave, "and it will soon be able to dispel spells within a thousand miles, without the Arcanta." It was more troublesome, so I continued to look for other solutions. β
Fu Lin understood, "You want to use the Heaven and Earth Talisman to dispel the ancestor's spell?" but...... Isn't the Dao Sect Grandmaster's spell as good as the Talisman Technique?"
"I have a specialization in the art industry, mortal, I can kill a target thousands of miles away with a spell, and I can destroy a city as big as the imperial capital in a very short time, but without the help of magic weapons, I can't spread the spell all over a hundred miles or even a thousand miles. And the key to resolving the catastrophe of the five elements is to disperse the foreshadowing spell in the widest possible range, and stand up to the sky and the earth to symbolize the corpse of a thousand miles. The real effective range is about five hundred miles, and it is powerless to shake a slightly stronger cultivator, but it can kill fragile creatures and dispel the ubiquitous foreshadowing spells by the way. β
"You will sacrifice all mortals within five hundred miles. Save the life of a cultivator?" Fu Lin couldn't tell what he was feeling, but he wasn't particularly surprised, Dao Tong was no longer the protector of mankind.
"Sacrifice? no, no, I don't sacrifice anyone. β
"Do you have a way to save the lives of mortals?" Fu Lin's eyes lit up. If this is the case, he is willing to kowtow to Zhao Chuye and admit that he is wrong to blame the Taoist priest.
It turns out. He just didn't understand the Taoist.
"The five attacks of fire, earth, gold, water and wood have little impact on cultivators, as long as they don't get too confused, most people can escape, and the final attack of Dao Fire is a catastrophe that cultivators can't escape, so I have to wait for the five attacks to pass before sacrificing the Heaven and Earth Talisman, and then all mortals within a radius of five hundred miles will be dead, so naturally there will be no so-called sacrifice. β
"Do you have to wait? A day earlier might save a lot of people. Fu Lin asked desperately.
"You have to wait, the Heaven and Earth Talisman is just this way, if you use it too early, the foreshadowing spells in other places will reoccupy this area. β
The person Zhao Chuye really cares about is not Fu Lin, Mu Feidian, who has always been possessed by a demon soul, "So, if you want to save the living, you can take them away now, and in three days they will all be dead, but that has nothing to do with me or you." β
Fu Lin only had one last glimmer of hope left.
Mu Xingqiu thought for a while, not weighing the pros and cons, but pursuing his true emotions, "What you did was right." β
The hopes of Fu Lin and the nine soldiers were dashed, no one squeaked, let alone pleaded, saving people requires not only will, but also ability, no matter how kind people who can't swim, they can't save the drowning person, Engong and Zhao Chuye obviously don't have this ability.
"But I still want to take the people away and fulfill my promise. Mu Xingqiu said.
"Take it all. Zhao Chuye really doesn't need these mortals, "When you come back, let's talk about things that will make you awaken in advance." β
He still firmly believed that the demon spirit resided in this person's body.
Soon after, dozens of logs flew out of Zhuozhou City, and they were filled with mortals who were weakened after donating blood, who did not know that the date of death was set, and they were all happy to hear that they could go home.
Fu Lin and the others also sat on the log, dejected, and did not dare to talk to other people.
Several Fu Masters drove the logs, and Mu Xingqiu and Shou Que followed, "Maybe their relatives have all died in the earth attack." Shou Que said, not surprised at all by Mu Xingqiu's indifference.
The Imperial Capital was destroyed by fire, and the makeshift camp could not avoid last night's earth attack, and the Talisman Masters released paper talismans to search around, only to find a new camp in a nearby valley, where most of the survivors from inside and outside the Imperial Capital gathered.
To everyone's surprise, there was no gloom in the valley, but there was jubilation, but this jubilation had nothing to do with the young men and women who were sent back.
"General Mu, General Mu, we are saved!" the cries from the valley came from afar.
"Who is General Mu, more powerful than a Taoist priest?" asked Shou Que curiously.
Fu Lin looked up from afar, "Could it be that General Mu from Broken Flow City?" His name is Mu Xingqiu, wasn't he killed by the Dao Patriarch last year?"
Shou Que laughed, but Mu Xingqiu himself was inexplicable, looking into the valley with his heavenly eyes, among a group of people, on a high platform, he really saw "himself" - a person who looked exactly like him before.
Shou Que has also seen it, and he can't laugh anymore,
