Xianlu

Chapter 413
The fragments of the map of mountains and seas hang above the city, and it continuously hangs down the yellow aura, protecting the whole city tightly.

Xu Dao thought to himself: "The fragments are so conspicuous. I was discovered by this person as soon as I entered the city. Could it be that the fragments have been refined by the people in the city?"

His mood sank slightly, but soon he lifted his spirits again.

The Taoist priest holding the bow is not a Taoist priest of the Taoist palace. Although he has the remaining energy of the yellow sky, he does not have the talisman of the yellow sky, so he should not be able to actively use the remaining energy of the yellow sky.

Otherwise, even if it is just a piece of the map of mountains and seas at the level of immortal treasures, the other party will not be besieged by a group of foundation-building Taoist priests.

Xu Daohuai had other thoughts, his face softened, and he began to talk with the other party in detail.

Seeing that Xu Dao's hostility had decreased, the bow-wielding Taoist breathed a sigh of relief. The man quickly descended from mid-air, rushed to Xu Dao, and bowed again.

Xu Dao was also distracted at this time, and began to observe other scenes in the city.

Although the city in front of me was crowded and chaotic, it was not dilapidated. On the edge of the city wall, there were temporary shanty towns one after another, with heads hidden inside, and almost everyone had a look of hunger and cold on their faces.

There are also those lying on the ground in a mess, only the eyeballs are still rolling, to prove that they are not dead.

The situation of mortals in this city is not very good, but compared to the precarious situation outside, it is already very rare.

Xu Dao sighed lightly, and asked the archer priest, "It seems that most of the nearby mortals have been taken into the city. How many people are there in the city now?"

After seeing Xu Dao exchanged pleasantries with him, the archer priest asked the first question about ordinary people.On the square face of this person, his eyes stared at Xu Daohaosheng for a few times, and then his throat wriggled a few times, and said:

"Fellow Daoists have extraordinary eyesight. After the great change in the world, within a few days, there were monsters attacking and killing mortals everywhere. The methods were horrifying. The three of my brothers first dealt with them, but later their abilities were limited, so they could only gather the common people and retreat to the city. For self-protection! Right now, there are still more than 30 people in this city, and most of them are young and strong..."

Xu Dao frowned slightly when he heard the words in the other party's mouth, and suddenly remembered the Taoist priest who was beheaded by Yin Jianjian. He paused, and then said:

"So, where are your two brothers now?"

The Taoist archer straightened his expression immediately, cupped his hands and said:
"A certain person is about to talk about this with a fellow daoist."

He turned sideways, invited Xu Dao to the city, then gritted his teeth and said:

"To be honest, fellow Taoists, because there are two cities, the three brothers of a certain guard separately. The elder brother is strong, so he went to another city alone to protect the people there. Watch out for each other."

"However, the demons who landed on the island are getting more and more powerful. I have been locked up for half a month. First, I lost contact with my elder brother. A few days ago, I realized that my elder brother's life card has been destroyed. He should have died."

The Taoist archer stared at Xu Dao with piercing eyes:

"After the elder brother died, the group of half-human, half-fish monsters led an army to attack the city. Now that fellow daoists can come, it can solve our shortage of manpower."

But immediately, his eyes dimmed, and he said:

"Even if we can't save the mortals in the entire city, you and I, together, should be able to barely protect tens of thousands of people."

Xu Dao listened carefully, and understood in his heart: "It turns out that the Taoist priest who was sacrificed by Yin Jianjian that day was their eldest brother, and he was the highest among the three brothers, and he was also a monk of immortality, but he was killed by Yin Jianjian for some reason. Capture alive."

He guessed wildly: "When the flag was sacrificed that day, the body of the boss of the Luo family was also there. Could it be that the place where the body was located was exposed and was captured alive by Yin Jianjian?"

The temperament shown by the Archer Daoist is as straightforward as his appearance, and he continued to say:

"Second brother is still comprehending the treasure in the middle of the city, fellow daoist, follow me there, we will discuss countermeasures together!"

Hearing this, Xu Dao couldn't help but look at the other party in surprise. This person actually said the word "treasure" directly, and he was not afraid of making him covet him.

If Xu Dao's guess is correct, the treasure in the opponent's mouth is probably the fragments of the map of mountains and seas on the top of the city.Xu Dao didn't hold back, and continued to insinuate what treasure it was.

But the Taoist archer still had no intention of hiding anything, and immediately stretched out his hand, pointed to the top of the city, and said, "This is it! Fellow Taoists, don't look at it as broken, and it's only the size of a palm, but the reason why the whole city can Persisting for so long depends entirely on this thing.”

After receiving such a straightforward answer from the other party, the vigilance in Xu Dao's heart was still there, but the anger of being attacked by the other party in his heart disappeared a lot.

After the two walked through the air and ran to the center of the county, he looked at the archer priest with a much more friendly look.

Because the bow-wielding Taoist did not lie to him, a mound was temporarily built in the center of the county town. The surrounding soil was still fresh. The mound was three acres in size. On it was a yellow-bearded Taoist sitting cross-legged, circling around One big and one small, with two wrist-cleaning sharp knives, they look mysterious.

The spiritual light on the top of the Taoist priest is ten feet high. It can be seen that the cultivation level is the same as that of the bow-wielding Taoist priest.

The opponent's true energy is coming out through the body, and under the blessing of the simple formation on the mound, it slowly rises to the uppermost sky of the city, circling around the fragments of the mountain and sea map.

And outside the mound, there were mortals kneeling on the ground, with black heads, kowtowing to the Taoist priest on the mound and praying, muttering and praying non-stop.

Xu Dao followed the bow-wielding Taoist priest to the mound. He didn't step into it immediately, but wandered around.

After confirming that the formation on the mound was crude and simple, and that there were no traps, he cupped his hands and stepped in.

As soon as Xu Dao stepped onto the mound, the yellow-bearded Taoist priest sitting cross-legged in the center opened his mouth and said, "Poverty Dao Luo Huang, this fellow Taoist came to welcome me."

The yellow-bearded Taoist was not in a hurry, he slowly gathered his own qi back into his body, then flicked his sleeves, and put the two wrist-removing sharp knives floating beside him into his sleeves, the flying knives were agile like two thin snakes.

Seeing this, Xu Dao thought to himself: "This person is actually a sword repairman, and he is a sword fairy. There are two of them. It's different, it's rare to see all immortal swords and martial arts alive."

He slightly arched his hands and greeted him with a salute:
"Poverty Dao Xu Dao, I met Luo Huang Daoyou."

The bow-wielding Taoist next to him is named Luo Qing, and he lives up to his name. Although his beard and hair are not blue, there are dark blue runes tattooed on his arms, from the wrist down to the elbow. There are also.

Daoist Luo Qing was not idle either, and immediately spread his consciousness, and in the blink of an eye, he told his second brother Luo Huang about Xu Dao's identity and their conversation.

After Taoist Luo Huang finished listening, a sharp aura surged from his body, like a saber aura, and the man didn't even stand up, the saber aura directly lifted his body, and then flew to Xu Dao.

The man said with a moving face:

"It turned out to be from the Daoist Palace, my two brothers have neglected fellow Daoists!" He looked at Xu Dao secretly with joy on his face.

And Xu Dao looked at the other party, and suddenly found that the place where the Taoist robe was hanging from the other party's body was empty and had no legs. This Luo Huang Daoist is a disabled person with missing legs. No wonder the other party did not stand up and sat cross-legged all the time with.

Daoist Luo Huang stroked his yellow beard, and continued to say joyfully:

"With fellow daoists joining, although there are many monsters outside, the three of us can still protect ourselves!"

After exchanging pleasantries with the other party for a while, Xu Dao looked up at the fragments of the map of mountains and seas hanging on the top of the city, and asked:
"Dare to ask the two fellow Taoists, what exactly is this thing and what is its use? Have the two enlightened you?"

Daoist Luo Huang of the yellow beard was ashamed when he heard the words, and said in his mouth:
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Pindao has tried to use the true energy to polish it day and night, seven days and seven nights, but the true energy just hasn't been able to melt into it."

He pointed to the yellow air above Xu Dao's head:
"On the contrary, the three of you and me, as well as the strange yellow aura above the heads of the people in the city, can easily blend into it, which is quite miraculous. With this aura, Pindao has also studied something."

Daoist Luo Huang didn't seem to hide it, and directly explained the connection and function between the fragments of the mountain and sea map and the yellow air on top of everyone.

According to what the other party said, after the great changes in the world of Wu Kingdom, the yellow air rose to the sky for hundreds of miles, blocking people's vision.

The three brothers of the Luo family had been in midair for a long time, until they were about to land in the West Sea, only then did they realize that the boundary of their location had changed into an island, and fell into the vast sea, drifting with the current.

Afterwards, the Taoists from the sea and the Yuren Island forces landed on the island. They captured and interrogated some people, only to learn that they were no longer in Wu Kingdom, and the name of the sea in front of them was "Xihai". Xihai!
The fragments of the mountain and sea map on the city are also a mass of yellow matter formed by the condensation and interweaving of yellow air when the island was formed.

Originally, the three brothers couldn't touch this thing at all, but after the Taoists from Xikai invaded, the mortals on the island were killed and injured everywhere, and the yellow air wrapped in fragments gradually faded away.

Luo Huangdao says:
"I'll be able to melt the yellow qi on my head into it, and then I can barely touch the treasure. The monsters in the West Sea don't have yellow qi on their heads, so it's hard to get close."

"After I ventilate with that treasure, I will be able to freely enter and exit the barrier formed by other yellow qi, and I can also vaguely detect the surge of yellow aura in the entire city..."

Listening silently, Xu Dao breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced.

As he expected, because the three Taoist priests in Luojiaguan did not have Huangtian Talismans, even if they could occupy this fragment of the mountain and sea map, they would not be able to refine it.

Xu Dao's heart skipped a beat, and he almost wanted to say to the two of them, "This thing is destined for me."

But he held back anyway, pretending not to know and sighing with pity:

"These treasures must be the treasures of my country of Wu. Although they are only fragments, they cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. Now that the army of thieves has arrived at sea, and tigers and leopards are waiting for them, what do you two fellow Taoists plan to do?"

Luo Huang and Luo Qing, two Taoist priests, looked at each other, but they didn't answer immediately, but said that they had been trapped in the city for half a month, and I would like to ask Xu Dao to introduce the situation outside the city.

Xu Daoloe pondered for a while, but he was too embarrassed to fool the other party, so as not to destroy the current peaceful relationship between the two sides, so he explained the situation outside the city in detail, and pointed out the conflict between Xihai Sanxiu and Yuren Island, bluntly speaking about the situation outside the city. Taoist priests are not all gangs.

After listening, Luo Huang and Luo Qing either closed their eyes and meditated, or opened their eyes wide with excitement.

Luo Qing danced her tattooed arms and shouted:
"Okay! This news, Fellow Daoist, is very important. I said why the two groups of people outside the city started fighting. It really is!"

But Luo Huang stroked his beard, frowned and said:

"There are twenty Taoist priests on one side, and sixteen or seventeen on the other side, but there are things like Taoist soldiers... No matter which side wins, the three of us will be hard to contend with."

With a look of compassion on his face, he said: "The people in this city are in trouble."

Hearing this, the excitement in Luo Qing's eyes suddenly dimmed. He took off the strong bow on his back, aimed at the howling sound outside the city, pulled the bowstring to the maximum, and then slowly let it go, repeatedly consuming his own strength.

The muscles on his body twisted because of this, like a snake, he was gnashing his teeth, and his neck was reddened by it, almost like a crown of anger.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Xu Dao calmly pointed to the fragments of the map of mountains and seas, and suggested:
"There is still some time right now, why don't I wait for the three of us to join forces and try to refine it? Maybe the three of us can work together to refine this treasure."

As soon as Xu Dao finished speaking, a voice rang out from the scene: "No need!"

Daoist Luo Huang grabbed his own yellow beard, his eyelids twitched, he raised his head, looked at Xu Dao with a wry smile, and said, "Don't bother fellow Taoist, the three brothers and I have already tried it, it didn't work. "

The other party shook his head, and took the initiative to talk about his elder brother, explaining that his elder brother's cultivation was also in the Sha Ning state, and implicitly expressed that his elder brother's morals were higher than Xu Dao's, and he took care of Xu Dao's face in his words.

But Xu Dao still figured out the taste from it: "The second child of Luojiaguan doesn't want me to interfere too much! Could it be that he knows something else, for fear that the treasure will be taken away by me?"

Being rejected by the other party, Xu Dao continued to propose a few times, but the other party changed the topic again.Seeing that the other party was unwilling, he suppressed his temper and said:
"Forget it. So, how are the two fellow Taoists going to deal with it?"

Luo Huang and Luo Qing fell silent, and after a few breaths, a voice sounded from the scene:
"drop."

The sturdy Taoist priest Luo Qing spit out a word, then clenched his white teeth, showing shame and indignation on his face, and stopped speaking.And his second brother, Luo Huangdaoshi, looked gloomy, and slowly gave the reason:

"Instead of resisting in the corner, it is better to wait until the battle situation outside first breaks down and choose one of them to surrender. Although the situation of mortals in the West Sea is worrying, but with me waiting, I can save some after all, which is better than completely losing ground and people. Besides... our safety can be guaranteed to a certain extent."

This made sense, Xu Dao couldn't help but nodded.Even he himself actually had this in mind.

It is basically impossible to occupy the entire island and save all the mortals on the island, so the only option is to weaken Shark Island as much as possible and improve one's own confidence, so as to protect more people.

Now that the three of them have gathered together and joined hands, not only their respective confidence is stronger, but also Xu Dao's status as guest minister, the other two and Yuren Island can also turn around better, which is really a good choice.

It's just... Xu Dao looked at the compassionate Taoist Luo Huang, but he didn't believe him.
