Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 423 Old Dreams
Zhang Yanzhi slept soundly with his head pillowed in Qiongqi's warm fur, panting lightly like a kitten. Li Fan looked up at Xuyue, covering her the deep purple moonlight with his wings.

He wanted to find a village to put Sarilang down, but he flew all day and saw seven or eight tribal camps, but he didn't see a single living person.

Some were eaten up by monsters, some were slaughtered by horse bandits, and some whole villages and families froze to death and starved to death.According to Zhang Yanzhi, this is a common sight in the Northland.

The northern land of Kanguo is already poor, and there are not so many people living on the grasslands. Even if there is no fan army to attack the grass valley, and if you don't hold a group to plunder southward, you can't survive the winter.And this winter has been extraordinarily tough.

Years ago, in order to deal with the vassal armies in Hebei, Da Shanyu mobilized 72 troops from the Nine Banners, which had exhausted his reserves for the winter. The hegemony of the Xianbei Royal Court finally came to naught.

After the death of Da Shanyu, the grassland once again lost its co-lord, and no one can unite this chaotic and barbaric world.

Those demon gods and demon kings lost their restraint, and immediately started to cause chaos. They recklessly ransacked the herdsmen of various tribes, captured the herdsmen's cattle and horses to satisfy their hunger, and caused disasters on the entire ice field. The Northland 72 was the first to bear the brunt of this demon chaos. I just watched it Arrived.

At least half a dozen Khan chiefs of the 72 Departments of the Nine Banners also died, and those who survived fell into civil strife fighting for the title of slaves and sisters-in-law of the Caochang tribe, and turned into existences more brutal and terrifying than demons.After all, monsters usually kill people just to fill their stomachs or practice martial arts.And the khans probably killed just because they were drunk and wanted to have fun.

What's more terrible is that even the divine religion that ruled Beiting behind the scenes fell into a split.

Among the three major sects, the divine religion system, once the highest level makes a decision, rarely splits and internally fights.But once there is a dispute over the line at the decision-making level, the split is often more extreme.

When Da Shanyu was around, he was not only the khan of the kings, but also the former dharma king, and a strong man who realized Taoism.In the north of Yinshan Mountain, he is the strongest, the highest realm, and the most outstanding meritorious service.The congregation of the god religion naturally convinced him and tried their best to die.

But after the death of Da Shanyu, the newly elected Dharma king and the northern law enforcement venerable had serious strategic differences on the corresponding strategy for controlling the 72 departments of the Nine Banners.

After all, if the battle is defeated, the resources will be very limited. Whichever tribe you support as the new Shanyu can survive.There is no absolute strength to overwhelm others, and even the divine religion is not so easy to reach a consensus.

As a result, the Beiting God Sect has now been divided into two, and the king of the East is managing the remnants of the Xianbei tribe, migrating to the southeast of Genzhou, and serving as the Heavenly Soldiers Jiedu Envoy.However, the Hulu tribes who were unwilling to submit to the vassal army, under the protection of the law enforcement venerable, avoided the siege of monsters from all sides, migrated long distances to the west along the foothills of Yinshan Mountain, bypassed Duizhou, and went to Tianshan Mountain to join the King of Light.

Zhang Yanzhi followed the law enforcement venerable to move westward. The tribes along the way either joined or were wiped out. They plundered cattle and sheep and became slaves. In short, the living people had long since disappeared.And now that Zhang Yanzhi has been 'sacrificed' by the law enforcement venerable, naturally he can no longer go back to be her grass-headed saint.It is also impossible to go all the way across the Yinshan Mountains to find the Heavenly Soldiers to beg.If she wanted to survive, she probably had to go all the way to the south, and she could only see people in the territory of Dui country.

Yes, if you go further south, you will arrive at Dui Kingdom, one of the twelve kingdoms in the world.

Duiguo, known as the capital of Wuliang, is the metropolis of Hexi, the center of the world, and the national vassal.

In fact, in a broad sense, from Xisu Weitun to the west, the vast area called Kunlun and Tianshan, which is now occupied by the gods, was once considered to be the jurisdiction of Duizhou.

Compared with the Hulu in the north, the spirits in the East China Sea, and the mountain ghosts in the south, the Inhumans in the Western Regions are not only weaker and easy to fight, but also have a large population and wealth to plunder. Obstacles make it easier to conquest, so General Zhengxi of the Ancient Immortal Palace, General Anxi, is often the easiest to make military achievements.

Therefore, the warlords of the Suwei Army all liked to preside over the Western Expeditions, slaughtering cities and destroying countries, and colonizing frontiers.The Protectorate's Mansion and Garrison Office opened up in the Western Regions often have the general with the most authority and the most supportive troops. He has always been the leader of the Immortal Army. The situation of military leaders is even more common.

However, because of this, the Western Army, as the most powerful unit of the Eighth Army, was also entrusted with an important task by the Immortal Palace.First, he was transferred back from the Western Regions to fight against Xuanmen, but he suffered a devastating blow in the battle against Xuannv.In the later period, he was responsible for suppressing the rising god religion, but was wiped out by the god master for the second time.Finally, a little bit of family wealth was taken by the general to fight with the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Sima, and was exhausted in the process of suppressing the uprising of the Luo Sect Black Lotus Sect Luo Feng Army.The Suwei Xianjun faction was drained of blood in this way, and was gradually suppressed by the immortal clan in the political struggle.

It can be said that the inheritance of the ancient Western Army has been extinct, or in other words, it has been integrated into the Divine Religion Army in the form of "Hegemony Skill".In Duizhou now, there are only the four major guards in Hexi. Although it is the place where the fairy palace hoards heavy troops to guard against the gods, it pitifully accepts the leadership of the Taoist sect, and lingers under the despotic power of the gods, guarding the Western Regions. The main road to the Central Plains has become the front line for blocking and defending the divine religion.

The former Xisu Guards, the Eighth Fan Army, the Old Western Army, what other ministries of wind, fire, thunder, lightning, and plague, as well as the remnants of the Northern Expedition Army, and the remnants of various special forces of the past dynasties, anyway, as long as they lose power, they will be killed by the Immortal Palace. Add fuel and vinegar to this frontier area, as if sent to exile, blocking the main road of the divine religion going straight into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

In the last war, the Divine Sect also invaded from the border of Duizhou. They penetrated Duizhou in one go and put up a ten-jue formation, almost reaching Sanyuan Wangjing.It's a pity that the Fawang of the Divine Sect led a team to fight against Emei Cangyun, but he still didn't make it through, and was chased and fled thousands of miles. Although it seems that there are elements to lure the Xuanmen to pursue, the face of the Divine Sect is not good.

Of course, the most miserable ones are probably those Western soldiers. The Xuanmen immortals can live casually, but the miscellaneous soldiers under the ten-jue formation probably won't survive a few, and maybe they won't be able to find a single person in Duiguo. ...

When he was bathing in Xuyue's moonlight and thinking wildly, Zhang Yanzhi suddenly stood up, closed his eyes and walked towards the forest.

What are you doing, woke up from urinating?

Li Fan didn't react for a while, but after waiting for a while, he realized that she was walking farther and farther, and he felt something was wrong.

This girl seems to be sleepwalking?
It's sleepwalking, but it's not all.Zhang Yanzhi was still asleep, as if he had heard some call, and was drawn by some strange force and wind, drifting like a marionette into the forest.

Ok?Could it be that he was hit by the Yuanshen method?Is it the gods who came to rescue the saint?Or does the sergeant have any additional orders?

Li Fan didn't need to alert the other party with his consciousness, he still lay down and dozed off, only called the Bleeding Infant Puppet, sneaked into Zhang Yanzhi's Shenting to follow, but to see what the gods wanted to do.

After following for several miles, Zhang Yanzhi drifted into a random graveyard, but in her divine courtyard, there were many dreams, showing a fantasy world like a peach forest and a sea of ​​colorful flowers.

Zhang Yanzhi was still trapped in a dream, so naturally he couldn't resist the illusion, and the blood baby didn't try to disturb her, just hid and watched with big eyes like bright yellow lanterns.

Zhang Yanzhi found a winery deep in the peach forest,
Zhang Yanzhi walked through the mass graves and walked into a solitary tomb that towered like a hill.

There are two rows of eight peach trees surrounding the plantation in the village. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the blue sky and white clouds are like a paradise.

There are eight dragon ropes in the tomb, surrounded by iron chains, and the barbs are full of disembowelled corpses, like hell on earth.

Zhang Yanzhi walked through the peach grove, and saw the six tanks of honey wine in front of the village, covered with petals, surrounded by bees and butterflies, and the sweet smell was intoxicating.

In the depths of the tomb, there were six bronze blood pots, in which were pickled bluish-white human heads, and flies and insects were all over the corpse water, and the bloody and rotten smell rushed to the face.

In the inner hall of the winery lived a handsome and personable owner of the winery, and beside him sat a beautiful fairy in fairy clothes and xiapei, who were drinking and chatting happily together.

The owner of the tomb is a huge monster like a corpse, with its hands and feet chained by iron chains. Judging from the seal spells around it, the tomb that was suppressed originally probably fell into disrepair for a long time. The top of the tomb collapsed and was empty. The moon is shining, and now his body has grown to four feet and five feet. He is sitting in the tomb with his legs crossed. He has a blue face with long teeth and a bloody mouth. As for the skeleton, he picked off the head casually and put it in his palm to practice.

The fairy smiled, and Linglong relaxed her arms, and offered a cup of fairy wine.

The giant corpse stretched out its flesh-stained claws and grabbed Zhang Yanzhi's head.

However, Zhang Yanzhi did not go to pick up Xianniang, but walked away with his hands behind his back.

The Jusha Corpse groped for nothing, and was puzzled for a moment, watching Zhang Yanzhi walk around the leg bones and walk behind him.

"Are you calling me again?" Zhang Yanzhi walked to the winery house and looked up at the picture scroll on the wall.

Behind Jusha's body are the buried objects in the tomb, and there are also the remains that it has eaten over the years. There are many magic weapons scattered, and a scroll can be seen just unfolded.

I saw a red-clothed swordsman in the painting. The swordsman held a jug of wine in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. He turned his head and looked at the wild geese in the sky, but he couldn't see his true face.

Zhang Yanzhi stretched out his hand and touched the painting, "Who the hell are you..."

The Jusha Corpse stared at the girl beside him, salivating and bleeding, and half of the monks in his arms were no longer fragrant. He wanted to eat something fresh, so he turned over and sat up and grabbed the girl's head.

The moment the owner of the villa stretched out his hand to touch Zhang Yanzhi, a blood-red baby came out from behind the girl and swallowed his hand in one gulp.

The giant evil corpse suddenly became alert, and turned to stare at its own claws.

No, its hands were gone, as if something had torn them apart.

Suddenly Shashi realized something, turned his head, and saw a tiger with two wings on his back, lying on his body, breaking his knee, biting open his thigh bone, sucking the marrow in the big bone.

Is it a dream?

The owner of the village shook his head, then lowered his head, and saw the blood-colored baby take out his heart, liver and lungs and stuff them into his mouth.

Ha, haha, it's a dream, it's a dream...

The Jusha Corpse opened its eyes, only to see the bloody mouth, biting head-on.

Zhang Yanzhi rubbed his eyes, sat up and found that it was dawn.

Li Fan squatted by the campfire to roast sparrows, and handed her a bunch.

"Sarilang, you don't sleep well, are you dreaming?"

"Thank you..." Zhang Yanzhi took the sparrow skewers and frowned, "It seems like I had a good dream, but I can't remember the details..."

Li Fan chewed his bones one by one, and asked vaguely, "By the way, aren't you a holy woman of the Holy Religion? I heard that a holy woman can realize Taoism after awakening. When will you awaken?"

"Awakening? I can't do it. If I can awaken, they will feed me to you." Zhang Yanzhi turned the sparrow around, looking lonely.

"Don't be discouraged, how bold are people, how productive is the land, work hard, work hard, maybe you will wake up with a slap, and you can seek revenge from that sergeant?" Li Fan provoked beside him.

Zhang Yanzhi has no appetite and seems to be playing sparrows, "You don't understand. Although there are many candidate saintesses, each generation is only the first one who has cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm and passed the test to obtain the inheritance of the saintess in the main altar. Only people can be called the true saints of the god religion.

Once the true saint is born, the gods will not waste resources to train other candidates, and usually kill other candidate saints on a large scale, especially those of us who have obtained key memory fragments in the golden core state, so as to help the true saint quickly wake up.

I was also the first northern saint who awakened to the Golden Core realm back then!No matter what, he is considered the No. [-] seed!Can't think of even killing me!Alas, it seems that the true saint of this generation has already been born, so I must die, sooner or later..."

Li Fan stared at Zhang Yanzhi, swallowed, "How powerful is the awakened saint?"

Zhang Yanzhi handed the sparrow in his hand to Li Fan, "It must be very powerful. I heard that Xuantian Sword Ghost, the number one master of the Demon Sect, sneaked into the main altar of the God Cult to steal, and was found out, and became angry and murdered. It was defeated by the saint who was only in the realm of becoming a god at that time."

Li Fan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Hey, hey, hey! Even if you are a saint, please don't brag about yourself so outrageously! I have read books like the Secret Records of the Master of the Sword Sect, okay? Xuantian Sword Zu at least enlightened at that time, right? Will he not be able to compete with the realm of transforming gods??"

Zhang Yanzhi spread his hands, "I'm not awakened, how do I know, it's what my foster father said.

It is said that the cultivation method of the saint is not quite the same as the cultivation method of the three major sects today. In the realm of transforming gods, her power is already endless. She can preside over the main altar formation by herself, which is unbelievable. !

Later, the sword demon also realized that he couldn't fight alone, so he fled back and recruited a large group of masters of the demon sect, besieging her together, and finally fought in the Ten Absolute Formation for a hundred years before exhausting the spirit of the saint and defeating her.

So with such magical skills, practicing other skills is just a detour for the candidate saint, so we just have to try to recall the practice methods of the previous life. "

Li Fan was a little creepy for a while, and couldn't help but asked softly, "Yan Zhi, you...have you ever heard of the exercises practiced by real saints? ?”

"I don't know, our candidate saintesses use the secret primordial spirit method to reshape the primordial spirit of the saintess. The more memories there are, the more perfect the soul is, and the higher the realm will naturally be. But what memory can be awakened depends on luck. I have never dreamed of any cultivation methods.

snort!Every time I only dream of a faceless man, I don't know who it is.For nothing, I was the first northern saint who awakened to the Golden Core!Keep dreaming about that guy!To let others cultivate to the true saint first!ah ah!But this guy killed him!snort! "

Zhang Yanzhi was sulking with his mouth puffed up, grabbed the sand and threw it into the campfire, as if he wanted to throw it on the head of the man in red in the picture scroll.

Alright, forget about this pair of enemies for now, it's a big deal, maybe the saint is also practicing True Yang Kung Fu...

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, ate up the sparrow in one gulp, calmed down and thought about it,
"No matter what the skill is, in short, the saint must collect all the memories to awaken, right? Then as long as you hide the candidate saints of the Golden Core realm, the real saint will not be able to awaken, right? As long as she is awakened before she awakens If the real saint is killed, you have to start all over again, right?"

Zhang Yanzhi glanced at Li Fan sideways, "That's the reason. The Demon Gate and Demon Palace have been doing this all the time, but I heard that the Central Plains is in chaos now, and evil catastrophes are everywhere. Is it something about the girl's awakening?"

Depend on!I care!But it's true, the Yuntai Peak Allied Forces went west as agreed, and now something like this has happened in Emei, maybe it's going to be a mess!

Well, he can only go there himself...
