Chapter 115: My Own Way
There are strange spells surging in the air, neither friend nor foe, neither real nor illusory, and the most sluggish mortals can also stretch out their hands to touch a gust of wind, and the Taoist priest with the highest realm can see patches of floating dark light with his heavenly eyes, with the help of these spells, the chanting sound is like another pair of wings, spreading faster and farther.
Shi Hanyuan was deeply surprised, the other Taoist priests were all casting spells seriously, and they didn't dare to be distracted a little, only he was the master of the Dharma Protector Array, and he could temporarily leave the Dharma Circle during the safe period.
He picked out a shadowless mirror from the many magic weapons around him, rose into the air, and felt the unknown strange spell in the air more directly, and after a while, he turned to the peak of the rune mountain dozens of miles away, flew far and changed his mind, and turned around and entered the valley.
The talisman is just one of the many sources of bizarre spells, and the most powerful help seems to be among the mortals in the valley.
Most mortals are still in a state of panic, not afraid of a specific threat, but do not know what the threat is and when it will come, strange spells, the chanting of Taoist priests, and the flames flashing in the sky all indicate that the catastrophe is approaching step by step, but mortals are dark-eyed, and there is no other way than to hope for the protection of the strong.
With the exception of a very small number of people, they are fascinated by another miracle and cannot tell whether it is a blessing or a curse, a joy or a sorrow.
The shadowless mirror in Shi Hanyuan's hand reflected a large number of spell traces, crisscrossing with light and shadow, and seemed to be more powerful than the magic circle composed of nearly a hundred Taoist priests.
No mortal saw the Taoist priest flying in the air, Shi Hanyuan circled around the valley and stopped in the air, looking both confused and excited.
There were seven babies in the valley with rings of fire, and it was they who spread the sound of talismans, formations, and chanting far beyond his initial expectations.
"Zuo Liuying is right. Shi Hanyuan muttered to himself, quickly. He put away the bronze mirror, and the confusion and excitement on his face all disappeared, replaced by vigilance, "It turns out that they are the 'big fish' that Kun Chao is looking for." ”
The strong pressure of the Dao Fire Attack caused some of the baby's abilities to awaken in advance, and the homeopathy also left a clear mark on them, not just the fire ring on their foreheads. And the attitude of mortals. The strange baby was attracting more and more attention, and the crowd gathered around them, vying for a look, and some of them were already on their knees, and the baby's mother was even more surprised, holding the child in her arms, as if she had received a great fortune that did not belong to her.
Only a disciple of the Dao Sect like Zuo Liuying would start cultivating in his mother's womb, and mortal babies should have grown up normally, when the time was right. There will be Taoist priests who secretly teach the method of breathing and breathing, and they will not officially become Taoist priests until they are in their teens, and after this night, their fate will be different.
This is a more visible mark than the ring of fire on the forehead.
Shi Hanyuan exerted his great magical power in the air, and the ring of fire spread on everyone's forehead like an infectious disease, not only babies, but also adults, and these rings of fire did not have any mana. But mortals could not tell the difference, they were only stunned. The worship of babies vanished as soon as it was created, and everyone raised their hands to touch their hot foreheads while looking at the people around them.
But this is not enough, Shi Hanyuan's spell can hide from mortals and most Taoist priests, but for Kun Zhen, the difference between true and false marks is clear at a glance.
Where the hell is Kun Zhen hiding? What is he going to do with these babies next? Shi Hanyuan didn't know anything. He only understood one thing, if he didn't intervene, the future of the seven Dogen babies in the valley was in danger.
On the hillside, the Taoist priest was still casting spells in the formation, and the attack of Dao Fire was getting weaker and weaker. They don't need to serve the protection of the Yuemang Taoist to persevere, and on the peak dozens of miles away, Mu Xingqiu and the others were silent, Shi Hanyuan looked around, and couldn't find anyone who could be trusted and relied on.
"I'm not Zuo Liuying. He said to himself. He is not Zuo Liuying, he can't see the future so far, he has just become a senior Taoist priest for a long time, he is not used to and is not good at arranging grand chess games, and he will not use others as chess pieces, he is not unwilling, but he can't, "I am a chess piece." ”
Shi Hanyuan is not dissatisfied with his role, he just sighs about how unbearable this role is, and there are things in this world that are more difficult to face than death. The saddest thing for him is that no matter how hard he tries, he may not be able to escape Kun Chao's palm in the end, in that case, he will never have a chance to clear his name.
The sighs and sorrows did not affect the decision of the Taoist priest of the moon, and Shi Hanyuan cast a spell for the second time, revealing his true identity to the mortals in the valley.
The mortals who were panicked in the darkness raised their heads one after another and saw a murderous Taoist priest, holding a sword in one hand and a bell in the other, and his whole body radiated a flame-like light.
"Mortals, useless mortals!" the Taoist priest said loudly in a majestic and terrifying voice, "It was you who restrained the hands and feet of the Taoist priest, why didn't you die?"
A few people recognized him as the leader of the Taoist priests, and not long ago he was the protector of all the humans in the valley, but suddenly he became a fierce and vicious look. The crowd looked at him in amazement, not screaming, not fleeing, like a meek flock of sheep.
Shi Hanyuan swung his sword and rattled the bell, and clusters of fireballs shot out from the sword, growing in the wind, mercilessly pounced on the humans on the ground.
The screams finally rang out, and the camp was thrown into chaos, people ran and trampled, and the long-suppressed fear was finally completely released, even the ninth-layer telepsy illusion could not be suppressed.
The fireball fell to the ground and took root, igniting a raging fire, and it didn't take long for it to become a sea of fire, and the wild laughter of the Taoist priest of the moon mang lasted for a long time, making the fire even more ferocious.
The Taoist priest who was setting up a formation on the hillside to cast spells was finally alarmed, and he woke up from his half-thought state one after another, and was stunned to find that Shi Hanyuan, who was responsible for protecting the formation, had disappeared, and the valley that should have been protected was filled with red flames.
"Shi Daoyou...... It's enchanted again!" a Taoist priest said the only possible conclusion.
Shi Hanyuan once killed countless Taoist priests and monks in Yelin Town, and finally gained the trust of a group of Taoist priests, and lost control of himself.
The flames spread out into the hillside, feeding on the dirt without diminishing in momentum.
The attack of Dao Fire became weaker and weaker, except for the seven chanters, other Taoist priests flew into the air with magic weapons, cast spells to extinguish fires, and helped the humans besieged by the flames to escape, but what they got was not gratitude, but the horror that only came when facing demons, and the rescued people arrived in safety. Immediately ran away with a crawling belt, shouting "spare your life", and the stubborn person even scolded.
Shi Hanyuan's crime was to be borne by a group of Taoist priests who sincerely protected mortals, and the last bit of faith that maintained all the Taoist priests was broken, but they still insisted on extinguishing the fire and saving people until there were no more sparks in the valley.
The onslaught of Dao Fire is over. The time was much shorter than expected, and everyone escaped, but they were not happy at all, leaving thousands of charred corpses in the valley, and they had to be counted on Shi Hanyuan's head anyway.
"The Dao system no longer exists!" said Pang Mountain Daoist Shen Jixian loudly, and he had to be angry, "What we have worked so hard to maintain is only a yin spirit, and now that even this yin soul has dissipated, Zhao Chuye may be right." The building will fall, and it will depend on who can run faster and hide better. Goodbye, everyone, go your own way, don't call yourself a Taoist priest from now on, we are no different from ordinary casual cultivators. ”
"Those babies that Shi Hanyuan said...... "Some people still remember this."
Shen Jixian snorted coldly, turned around and flew away, most Taoist priests made the same choice as him. It's just that the direction of progress is different, and there are still a dozen Taoist priests left. Fly out of the valley to chase the fleeing mortals, hoping to find those babies who are different.
The person who cast the talisman was forgotten, and the Taoist priests had not been optimistic about this plan beforehand, and they did not feel that the defeat of the Dao Fire Attack had the credit of the talisman after the fact. Mortals were even more miserable, they didn't know that the catastrophe was over, but they were even more panicked than before the Dao Fire arrived. At that time, they had support and hope, but now they only have two legs, which they use to run around aimlessly.
A very small number of mortals, thirty-three to be exact, did not flee with the masses. They stood at the entrance to the valley and looked around.
"Where is General Mu? Does he know what's going on here?" asked a soldier of the Huang Fu Army.
"Will the Taoist priest ...... Will General Mu be ......" Luo Laohan's family of three held the statue tightly in their hands and prayed for General Mu's safety.
One of the followers pointed into the distance, the night shrouded the mountains, he couldn't see the peaks, only knew the general direction, "General Mu has gone to arrange the talisman, the fire circle in the sky must be his spell, he can defeat the Taoist priest named Zhao Chuye, naturally he is not afraid of this group of Taoist priests now." ”
"Shall we wait here, or shall we go to him?" asked one of the refugees, wistfully as the fire in the valley was extinguished, but the burnt smell was still strong and unsettling.
"General Mu won't come back, without the help of spells, we can't climb that mountain. Yao Qi'er, a follower, remembered what General Mu had said, and she didn't know why at the time, but now she thinks back on it with a deep meaning, "Let's go our own way." ”
"Your own way, what way?" the others looked at Yao Qi'er blankly, with a hint of horror in their expressions.
"Remember, we used to try to be the leader of the formation in the formation, and many of us succeeded. ”
"That's to save the missing girl. ”
"Everyone is still working so hard to save her, so what about saving themselves and the world?" Yao Qi'er's eyes lit up, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement, "Mortals themselves can inherit the way of the weak, follow me, go our own way." ”
Yao Qi'er strode into the ruined world in the night, this was not an escape, but a battle. The others were stunned for a moment, and then followed one after another, they still didn't fully trust the mortal who had come forward, but compared to the others, they were not so dazed.
On the mountain peak dozens of miles away, Mu Xingqiu and Zhao Chuye both collapsed to the ground, one writing the talisman and the other being written, both of which consumed a lot of physical strength and blood. Fu Lin is also sweating profusely, he is responsible for protecting the Dharma, and even sacrificing dozens of paper talismans, he is too tired, only the shou who is floating in the air is not tired.
"I want your suction technique, which you promised to give me. Zhao Chuye gritted his teeth and said, he was willing to help for this reason.
Mu Xingqiu pointed to his head, "It's here, whatever you want." ”
Zhao Chuye gasped, Mu Xingqiu was a person who had lost his memory, but he had performed the technique of suction many times, and he must have relevant memories in his mind. Grandmaster Xingshan smiled, the magic absorption technique had a bright future, even if it couldn't fight against Kun Chao, it was enough to use it to protect himself.
Suddenly, the wind rose on the flat ground, and the long-suffering mountain peak sank again, and Zhao Chuye flew up involuntarily and was carried away by the strong wind.
"You're cheating!" Zhao Chuye's angry cry came from afar.
Mu Xingqiu and Fu Lin both looked at Shou Que.
"Not me. Shou Que said, looking up and looking for the source of the spell.
Two things fell from the sky, a small tower and a small leather bag, which were the ancestor tower and Qiankun bag that originally belonged to Zhao Chuye.
"This is not the real Patriarch Tower, just a doppelganger. Shi Hanyuan's voice came from the air, "If you want to find Kun Chao, this may be a clue." ”
"Everyone else is hiding from Kun Zhuan, why are we looking for him?"
Mu Xingqiu's heart moved, and he vaguely saw the direction of memory.
