Daozu is Cthulhu

Li Fan walked through the tunnel for several days, chasing to the outskirts of Gyeonggi, but failed to track down the source of Yuanfeng Tieliu, because he found that the mouse nest seemed to be just a transfer station, and the underground world opened up by these mice was far beyond his imagination. , and even in the entire underground of Gyeonggi, Central Plains, an underground world has been created!
In fact, the direct project volume of the mice is not large, because the current Sanyuan was originally the new Wangjing, and the fairy palace has existed in the world for a long time. It has been rebuilt repeatedly after wars, and was razed to the ground by civil wars several times, similar to that a few days ago. The turmoil of burning sand rolls like that and leveling half of the city is not worth mentioning at all.

Therefore, the real old capital has already been submerged underground. The abandoned royal city, destroyed palaces, and the ancestral tombs of the local elites have all been built under the sandy soil at the bottom of Sanyuan.Some of these buildings still have spiritual power, which can generate a space similar to an underground palace, so what the mice did was to dig holes, dig holes under the entire Wangji, and connect all these tombs and old palaces.

But in this way, the whereabouts of Yuanfeng Tieliu will be messed up, all kinds of fork roads have cause and effect, and there may be some small and small branch lines in the four underground palaces, so Li Fan can only drill left and right in the mouse hole, Take a chance.After hiding in the tunnel like this for an unknown amount of time, a stone door suddenly appeared in front of him, and a maid was staring at him from the door, which made him feel a little bit shocked.

After a closer look, it turns out that this is not a real person, but an entrance designed by a maid to open the door, probably to scare the tomb robbers.

Li Fan took a closer look and found that the maidservant was made of stone, covered with a layer of dried skin, and there were two blood holes in the eyes, and the inner layer of the stone carving was empty, as if it contained some meat scraps, probably already The worms and rats were eaten up, and the back of the servant girl was covered with curses, so bloody that it seemed to be pulled out with her hands.

Li Fan did some research and deduced that this is a kind of witchcraft technique. It is about beating the living people to death, skinning them, pounding them into mud, pouring them into stone clay puppets through the holes in the eyes, and then crushing the human beings. The leather case sealed the soul on the outside, and could not be reincarnated forever, so it was placed at the entrance of the tomb for the owner to guard the mausoleum. If grave robbers broke in, they would be cursed and killed on the spot.

Why is Li Fan so familiar?To be honest, it is a bit similar to Jianzong's sword boy ancient method, and the boy sword also has a similar pupil light technique, probably an evil method circulated in the ancient fairy palace period.

After so many years, the Fa has dissipated and the Dao has dissipated, so I don't know if this maidservant's hatred has dissipated...

Li Fan looked at the pair of blood-hole-like eyes of the stone maidservant, sighed, pulled out the stone sculpture, tucked it under his arm, and went straight into the main tomb.He raised his hand and smashed the jade gate with a slap, and with a grabbing hand, he lifted the coffin board of the owner of the tomb.

"what--!!"

The moment the coffin was opened, the aura inside the coffin was activated, and the owner of the immortal zombie in the tomb jumped out!

This corpse has not rotted so far. It is wearing Sangong's robes, all of which are made of silk. It is as bright as ever. The palm is inserted face to face, but there is a tendency to break the sound, I am afraid that he was also a master of the state of individuation in the past!

Li Fan had been prepared for a long time, dodged, grabbed it casually, and shook the collar of the immortal zombie, and shattered the talisman Yin jade, body protection magic weapon, tibia, skin and flesh hidden in the immortal zombie's body, and the immortal zombie lost it instantly The ability to move was thrown out of the grave like a rag belt, and fell into the rat hole with a snap, and the sebum began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then Li Fan put the stone-carved maid under his arm into the coffin, picked up the coffin board and covered her, and recited a few rounds of incantations to save her. When he finished the line and turned to leave, Li Fan suddenly heard There was a crisp sound behind him.

When he turned his head to look, it was the ever-burning lamp in the tomb that was blown to the ground by the draft. Li Fan lifted the lamp up, glanced at the silk robes and funerary objects scattered on the ground outside, and suddenly had a thought.Turning around the tomb, while calculating, I felt a little puzzled and suspicious.

Immediately, I walked around the mouse hole a few more times, walked through a few more tombs and underground palaces, and drew a road map on the ground from memory, which I could see clearly at once.

These rats did not come to rob tombs, the rat holes were not random, and it was not a coincidence that they got into the tomb palace, but the ancestors also happened to place the tomb palace on the nodes of the earth veins, and the purpose of these mice was also to get through these Node, connecting the Qi veins of the Sanyuan underground formation.

Someone is using these rats to set up an array.A large formation covering the entire Wang Jing!

Is it for the Taifu?

Li Fan looked at the sketch he had drawn, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he could see the leopard in his pipe. It was obvious that Sanyuan was such a big place, and he couldn't figure out who arranged this formation, what effect it had, let alone where the rats built their nests. How long has Yuan Feng Liu Tie been transported secretly, and how many soldiers have been accumulated.How prepared is the underground rat army?

If this formation is another super-large-scale ten-jue formation, how many people in the capital can survive...

Even if it wasn't a big killing move like the Ten Jue Formation, just so many mice rushing out suddenly, it would definitely be a disaster.

With Gongqing's usual pissing behavior, they don't care about the life and death of ordinary people, not to mention that they are all high above them now, living on Feikong Xiandao, as long as they are not unlucky, they just got involved in the big formation, and something has already disappeared , the landslides and cracks on the ground can't hurt them at all?

As for the Tai Tuo, hehe, with Tai Tuo's stinging forbearance, what's the point of causing a rat disaster and killing some grassroots people, maybe he will arrive long ago, but he is just using the same to respond to all changes, setting a long-term perspective, and catching big fish... …

Li Fan also has a bit of a headache now. Should he continue to search, find the culprit, and dismantle the bomb, or go out and report to the authorities immediately, and organize the masses to evacuate?

If the rat nests underground in Beiman Mountain were wiped out immediately, how would the remaining forces in other places be dealt with?If those who planned the conspiracy noticed that things had been revealed, would they activate their plans in advance?After all, in such a big place as Sanyuan, how could it be possible to arrange for so many people to escape? What if the rat colony underground is actually not a big deal?
This time, good or bad luck is really uncertain...

Li Fan gritted his teeth, and finally decided to take a gamble.

What he gambled on was that whether it was for the Tai Tuo or the forces against the Tai Tuo, the life and death of the grass people were not worth mentioning.

As long as the Taifu is still at home and does not give a chance, the other people on the chessboard will not take the initiative to take the cards away!
So as long as Li Fan doesn't take the initiative to flip this card, he still has time!

So Li Fan immediately went back to the ground, first found Sanyuan's map, looked through it for a while, made a plan, and then found the contractors in the name of Sikong Cao, and said,
I, Cao Cao, found that the Gyeonggi Water Transport has been in disrepair for a long time and has been blocked for a long time, and there is a deviation between the river and the new capital. I decided to expropriate the people of Gyeonggi, clean up the blocked river, and rebuild the canal. It is convenient, and it can continue to be used as a commercial port in the future. Wouldn't it be great?
The contractors were all taken aback for a moment, and then they all said, Cao Cao is awesome, but who will pay for it?

Li Fan said, you can rest assured that I sold the Yuhou Mansion to raise start-up funds, start this project first, and then auction off the operating rights of the canal in the future, so I don’t worry about not being able to raise money.

The contractors were stunned again, and they all said, "Yu Hou is awesome, but what are you trying to do?"
Li Fan said, of course it is to serve the court, forget it, you just think that I want to get promoted and make a fortune, just to make a name for myself, let's start work, life and death are at stake, don't talk nonsense.

In fact, the imperial court has been delaying the rebuilding of the canal for a long time, but no one has been willing to take the lead in doing such a thankless task. Developing real estate will make more money, right? Fearing that this idiot would react and regret it, he pushed up and down, and it was really rare to get it working. Tens of thousands of people in Gyeonggi were recruited and mobilized to go out of the city to clean up the long-clogged river channel.

Of course, the powerful will not come to serve, only the people at the bottom come to work. Although they have wages and food, they still complain, complaining that the new Cao Cao, in order to curry favor with the top, flatter the court, and engage in such a waste of people and money. The thing is, obviously there are river transport and airships available, but they have to drive dozens of miles to build some ancient river channel.

Li Fan is not as knowledgeable as they are. After all, the area of ​​the rat array is a bit large, and it is safe to run outside the city to avoid disasters. The canal will take at least three to five months to repair, and if something major happens, there is naturally no need to build a river.

After all, according to Li Fan's calculations, seeing the undercurrents in Sanyuan are raging, and the military situation of the Western Divine Cult's invasion is urgent, the Taifu will really have an accident if he squats at home, and he will have to be forced out sooner or later.

Yes, Li Fan has been doing fortune-telling, drilling holes, and building canals for the past few days. It is the prelude to another wave of large-scale invasion of the Central Plains.The army is being urgently mobilized to march westward.Even Li Fan proposed to clean up the canal, there are reasons to ease the transportation of military food, so that it can pass smoothly.

Now, although Li Fan found a reason to arrange many people to leave the city, but seeing the doom was about to happen, this was not enough. He decided to discuss a solution with Zhong Hui, who is the real power in Gyeonggi, who is the captain of Sili.

Yes, Zhong Hui has already resigned from Zhongshulang's position and officially became the captain of Sili. It seems that he is afraid that he will make too much contribution to pacifying Zhenzhou. This time, the Taifu simply changed his team and promoted him to prepare for the Western Expedition. A Taiwei surnamed Deng was the shepherd of Duizhou, responsible for controlling the imperial army and arranging food and payment, which also restricted the generals who conquered the west and the frontier soldiers of Duiguo.This is to be careful in doing things, there are many cronies under his command, and everyone is on guard.

Although Zhong Hui handed over his military power, he made outstanding achievements. Didn't it be said that Lord Xinling County was accused of colluding with the Demon Sect to assassinate Sikong? Riding a general!This ambitious man in Sanyuan colluded with the Demon Sect, assassinated the three princes of the imperial court, and tried to overthrow the Tai Tuo!What a heinous crime!

But you don't have to worry, after General Wei, Zhonghujun, Tingwei and Sili Xiaowei jointly arrested him, the perpetrator has been brought to justice!The whole family is extinct!The French Open is wide open, and no criminals can escape the punishment of the iron fist!
So Li Fan went to Caishikou to visit Lieutenant Sili, and happened to catch up with the decapitation.

Wow, a family of more than 400 people is full of kneeling, a high platform is set up on the execution ground, two great spirit officials are standing under the platform, and there are three guillotines serving the dragon head, tiger head and dog head on the stage.These are the three first-grade guillotine lords who beheaded princes at the top, officials at the middle, and ministers at the bottom!It's really bloody, murderous, and majestic!

On one side of the stand, Zhong Hui, who was wearing the official robe of the Sili school lieutenant and ordered to supervise the beheading, looked up at the sky, and after calculating that it was noon, he threw the command flag and said, "Guild!"

All the school lieutenants and soldiers in the stands roared in unison, "Guild!"

"On order!"

The two innate generals, one qi god, and the heavenly chastening great spirit officer clasped their fists together, opened their divine eyes together, and the divine light bloomed, shooting directly at the tiger's head!
"Guillotine!"

A roar of a tiger resounded throughout Gyeonggi!The tiger's head is cut down with a knife!The blood flashes, the head rolls around, the red blood soars to the sky, the vermilion is all over the ground, and the whole family dies!How spectacular!
Seeing such a big scene for the first time, Li Fan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. When he asked, this is not the first batch. Fang's son-in-law's family must be implicated in Zhu Jiuzu and the like.

In addition to these relatives, there are also the confidantes of the general of the chariot and the cavalry general, the captain's personal soldiers under his jurisdiction, and so on. It's very straightforward, it doesn't play any exile at all, just kill them directly, batch by batch, and add up to 5000 people.

Alas, although the family has a long history and many births, but even if they are cut off, none will be left alive.

Li Fan didn't bother other people's office work, and came up after these ministers were done. Naturally, Zhong Hui knew that Li Fan was watching a play nearby, so she walked out stepping on the blood mud accumulated on the jade steps, and greeted Li Fan with a happy face.

"Your Majesty Yuhou is here, what orders does Yu Hui have?"

"Oh, I heard that Sili had cracked the case of the traitor inside the Demon Cult, made great contributions, and was granted the title of Marquis of Dongwu Ting. I'm here to congratulate you."

"Hahaha, Yuhou is too polite, come and ride with me."

Li Fan's matter is actually very simple. He said that this time, in order to meet the construction period, a little more corvees were collected, and many wives and wives complained that it affected production efficiency. Anyway, they are in the capital. Can the whole family be conscripted to live in a construction site outside the city? You can't go back to the city until the river course is finished, so the project can be done faster.

Zhong Hui also gave face, laughed and said Yu Hou is too smart, I understand what you mean, I will drive all these poor ghosts out of the city and make room for your construction.Come and drink.

Li Fan wanted to say that he didn't mean it that way, but it almost meant the same thing when he thought about it, so he thanked Si Li for his help, and I will give you a piece of land from this book.

In this way, the two laughed and toasted again. Zhong Hui was also thirsty after killing too many people. After drinking a few more glasses, he chatted with Li Fan about the military situation in the court.

It turns out that according to the latest information from the Immortal Palace, it has been confirmed that the pioneers of the Divine Cult rushed forward from the sandbar, rushed thousands of miles, broke into the Black Mountain Pass, broke through Quanzhou, cut off Yumen outside the pass, and the supply lines of the two major military towns in Quanzhou. The news outside the pass was cut off. It is rumored that the Western Army in the two towns outside the pass has surrendered, there are rumors that they are still defending, and there are rumors that they were in an ambush and suffered a disastrous defeat. In short, the Divine Cult moved too fast, and it is definitely impossible for the guards guarding the legions to come back and gather. Cut off the supply, only one road was broken one by one, and the west of Qilian Mountain was basically no longer owned by the fairy palace.

Today, Wuliang Jinghua in Duiguo went to Sha, Yu, and Quan prefectures when the war started, and now there are two prefectures in Pingliang. The various departments of the Western Army are assembling urgently, but Pingzhou has already called the police everywhere. It seems that they are being attacked by the army of gods everywhere, and they don't know how many people have crossed the long yellow sand to kill them, so the main force of Pingzhou had to gather in the county town first, stick to the front line of the Heihe River, and dare not cross the river to rescue , can be regarded as the first wave of defense.

The soldiers and horses of the various ministries of the Dui Kingdom gathered in Liangzhou City at the back, and the Duke of Xinling County also received the imperial edict. His clan status subdued these local vassal troops who did not listen to the imperial court's dispatch, and served as a second wave of barriers against the advance of the gods.

As for the main force on Sanyuan's side, under the arrangement of the Taifu, the Suwei army led by Duizhou Mu quickly marched westward. The food and fodder of the army gathered in Xisuwei. Dui and Kun prefectures fought a decisive battle with Shenjiao.
