Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 79 Coming and not being indecent

"Take a look, take a look, the woodcarving show from Jiangnan~~"

"The black-faced Zhang Fei, the red-faced Guan Yunchang, and the infatuated Western Chu Overlord Xiang Yu!"

bang~
The gong was ringing on the side of the street, and a donkey cart carrying a small stage was parked on the side of the street. Its loud yelling attracted passers-by and the people in the city to surround it, and watched the wooden figures on the stage look decent in their hands. Accompanied by the lines of the people below, I also felt novelty, and when the performance was exciting, cheers erupted from time to time.

Bustling voices. On the second floor of the tea shop on the street, there is a lot of noise. The literati and elegant guests talk about the war in the north. There are also rich people and businessmen who have time to sit here drinking tea and chatting. Looking at the small stage below, whispering to each other.

In the noisy crowd, at the table next to the guardrail in the corner, Qing Xu glanced down, smiled and toasted to Xu Qingfeng who was opposite.

"When Senior Brother Xu came, I was very surprised. With your temperament, you probably wouldn't leave the Canglan River."

"Then you will be surprised twice."

Xu Qingfeng took a sip of tea, put it on the table, and said with a smile, "It's only been a month or so, but I've gone down the mountain twice. The first time was to drive people away, but this time, it's to take people away, and it's still the same one."

Taoist priest Qingxu knew who the other party was talking about. Before his nephew Feihe came back to talk about the underground monsters, and there was also a festival between Chen Yuan and Canglan Jianmen. At this time, how could it be to chat about old times?
"...Pindao was lucky enough to meet the person Junior Brother Xu mentioned."

"Oh? What does Junior Brother Qingxu think of him?"

Qing Xu closed his eyes, and replied simply: "There is no distinction between good and evil in law, and there is difference between good and evil in people."

"How can I not know this." Xu Qingfeng was also quite distressed about the matter in the door. When he came here, he saw corpses scattered all over the field, and he was indignant. He also heard the news of the destruction of thirty thousand cavalrymen. People in the mansion would never do such a thing. Evil cultivators live in a simple place, let alone attract attention. The news came from inquiries.

He admired this young man named Chen Yuan more and more, he did not hesitate to destroy his own path, but he also wanted to show his anger for the people.

But the disciple of the North Courtyard died at his hands, and the brother in charge told him to take him back. The feeling of being caught in the middle was extremely tangled.

Outside, the gong sounded, and the applause came from here, even the group of people watching the play from a distance on the second floor also applauded.

"Now that you know, Senior Brother Xu might as well just turn a blind eye and go back. Once the matter of the evil spirits is over, I will personally come to your sect to make peace on behalf of the Celestial Master. Let's talk about the underground monsters. This matter is also of great importance. After the matter was reported, the Celestial Master felt that it was strange that Priest Yue Jie went south with the army, and whether it might have something to do with this matter."

Xu Qingfeng nodded.

"As the guarantor of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, I can do business with the brother in charge, but there is one thing, I still need to meet Chen Yuan. Do you know where he is?"

The noisy commotion was still coming, Qing Xu looked at the sword head of Canglan South Court opposite him with some disbelief, but in the end, he opened his mouth.

"I don't know, he may still be in Hezhou, or he may have gone to another place, but if he wants to kill Hu, he must go to the north."

The sun rises up among the clouds, then tilts down and hangs in the west, burning red clouds. On the road to the north, a fast horse is galloping. In the direction of the extension, in the Jin army camp, Chen Yuan, as the two people said, is in a remote corner , Carved and split the wood sent by the soldiers, and carved a simple wooden figure of the same size as a human in his hands, and then lit a joss stick and inserted it into the ground.

In the distance, there were still soldiers shouting and yelling, and some soldiers who could speak the Yue language forced to question the captives, while the companions who could write took a pen and ink to write down the names they heard one by one, and wrote them on the paper.

The Yuejie people are mainly tribes, and most of the soldiers in the army have acquaintances with their clansmen. It is not an exaggeration for one person to know and know 23 ten taboos.

There are also stubborn people who refuse to speak. Chen Yuan released a dozen or so black insects to fly away, slowly nibbling on the toes or fingers, watching the flesh disappear little by little. speak out.

More than a dozen Yuejiehu people, probably named two or three hundred people, wrote three sheets of paper and handed them to Gongsun Li. He took these and came behind Chen Yuan with some doubts, wanting to ask, which showed that the other party was busy. , and it was not easy to disturb, so I asked in a low voice to the two priests of the Celestial Master's Mansion who had been looking at Chen Yuan.

"At first I didn't know what he was going to do..." Taoist Ming Guang glanced at the densely packed yuejihu names on the paper, and then looked at the crude portrait carved by Chen Yuan, and he probably knew it in his heart.

"...This should be a kind of victory technique."

King Qing was confused by what he heard, and he had never heard of the art of subjugation. He just looked at the rough people and the serious tone of the Taoist priest, and felt a chill for no reason.

"This Taoist priest, I will lend you some yellow talismans."

After finishing the sixth one, which was enough for the time being, Chen Yuan packed up the tools and asked the Mingguang Taoist over there for six pieces of talisman paper. After using cinnabar to outline the two names according to the names of Yue Jiehu on the roster, they placed them in the talisman. The word 'Chi' under the corner of the paper.

Then it was burned in front of the wooden man.

In an instant, King Qing rubbed his eyes vigorously, and saw that the appearance and outline of the wooden figure gradually became clear, and the faces of the two wooden figures also became different and lifelike.

"This this……"

Rao thought something mysterious would happen, but Gongsun Li couldn't help but marvel at the changes in the wooden figure. "Sir, are you going to use these two wooden figures to deal with the Yue Jie army?"

"Today they killed people and made animals, and humiliated me and other Han people..." Chen Yuan squinted her eyes, "How can revenge be overnight, come and go without being indecent, I will also give them a big gift."

Watching Chen Yuan go to the bullock cart, lie down in the cart to rest.King Qing, Gongsunli, looked at the two wooden figures in disbelief. At this moment, a fast horse galloped in from the shaft gate. After asking where King Qing was, he went straight to this side, and when he saw King Qing, he jumped off the horse's back. , half kneeling and clasping fists.

"His Majesty, this is a letter sent by His Majesty."

Since Yuejie's [-] cavalry detoured to Hezhou, this side has not dared to act rashly. At this time, a letter came, and Gongsun Li hurriedly took the letter paper and unfolded it in his hand.

His eyes quickly scanned the vertical content on the top, his face showed joy, and he asked the fast horse to hand over the letter to the other two imperial brothers.Immediately, he punched the palm of his hand and looked at the two Taoist priests excitedly.

"Excellent news, the two priests know that the [-] Yue cavalrymen mentioned in the letter overwhelmed the Rui River within a day and blocked the river course. No wonder the Yue soldiers have not moved in the past few days."

Mingguang frowned slightly.

"Does your Highness feel that it is too exaggerated to annihilate [-] cavalry in one day? Even [-] sheep can escape, let alone war horses."

Another Taoist named Yu Chen echoed, "Unless someone casts a spell."

The three of them looked at each other for some reason, then turned their heads tacitly, and looked at the resting figure in the car.

Gongsunli felt for a moment that those two wooden figures might not really be able to accomplish anything.

……

The setting sun in the west cast the last touch of orange, and the night swept in like a tide.

Howling wolves resounded in the distant mountains.

In the blazing Yuejie military camp, on the quiet sentry tower of the gate, the Yuejie soldiers yawned and chatted with their companions beside them.

Call ~
A gust of wind blew over, and the torches inserted in the watchtower flickered on and off. Amidst the babbling voice, they suddenly stopped between the two of them. Wisps of mist drifted in the wind.

'squeak'

There was an imperceptible sound in the darkness, one man bent his bow and set an arrow, the other lit the fire, and shot it into the field with a 'swoosh'.

The firelight streaked across the darkness, and within the falling range, a black shadow stood upright.

"people?"

The two looked at each other, and when they were about to shoot an arrow, they seemed to be dazzled. The black shadow that was originally separated by more than ten feet suddenly came to a distance of seven or eight feet, and the two saw that it was actually a wooden man. There is a face engraved on it, which looks familiar.

The man who lit the fire looked carefully for a moment, and then looked at his companion beside him.

"Tuji, it's very similar to you."

The companion next to him pushed him away, and this time he shot an arrow, nailing the wooden man's forehead and knocking him down.

"Your arrow skills have improved again!" The Yuejiehu man who was speaking saw the wooden man's head shot by an arrow, and praised him, but there was no answer for a long time.

He turned his head, and saw that his companion who was still talking had a blood hole in his forehead, and he fell straight backward.

"Tuji!"

The old man shook his companion at a loss, sniffed and found that the other party was dead.He hurriedly got up and looked outside the sentry tower. In the gray night, the wooden man who had been shot by the arrow was still there, but there was another black shadow behind him, looking this way.

He blinked his eyes lightly, and when he looked again, the black figure had arrived beside the fallen wooden figure, which was also a wooden figure, vaguely similar in appearance to him.

The Yuehu man panicked and wanted to draw his bow, but thinking of his companion's fate, he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly got off the sentry tower. As soon as he landed, the wooden man had quietly reached the gate, just like him. On his face, the sculpted eyes stared straight at him.

More than a dozen soldiers guarding the gate were roasting the bonfire. When they saw the archers upstairs come down in a panic, some people noticed the wooden figure about two feet away, but with a blink of an eye, it stood on the ground. Standing in front of him, only a gate away, the wooden face was gloomy, and the wooden texture on it could be clearly seen.

"what is it?!"

"When did you come!"

The soldiers gathered around the fire to keep warm drew their knives out one after another, while the Yuejie archers who came down shouted: "Don't cut it..."

Before the words were finished, a soldier had already slashed through the gap in the shaft gate with a knife, and the edge of the knife fell on the wooden man's shoulder and neck. Enlarged, blood oozes out.

For a moment, there was a little confusion on the Yuanmen side.

　At three o'clock tomorrow, I will end this episode.
