Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 246 The moon shines without shadows, the general trend

When night fell, Liu Hunkang had already rested in his room early.

Liu Guang's mansion is really big, even though half of it has been destroyed and many usable things were taken away by soldiers and horses of Liangshan, the remaining part is still enough for the Taoist officials to live in.

Suddenly the wind swayed slightly, and the moonlight outside the window flickered.

Liu Hunkang turned over and sat up. Looking intently, he saw a young man in a white robe of Songhe sitting beside the round table in the room.

This person's demeanor gave people a strong sense of comfort and openness, as if they met not in a small bedroom, but in the wilderness where the sky is high and the grass is full of galloping horses.

"The big dragon head of Liangshan?"

Liu Hunkang said softly, "It's been famous for a long time, but it's the first time I've seen it. Poor people are polite."

According to what Gou Ying and the others said a while ago, Guan Luoyang was under siege, retreated in embarrassment, and fled back to the Liangshan military camp.

But today I only saw one side, Liu Hunkang already knew that Gou Ying's propaganda in the army was too false.

"I have heard of Liu Zhenren of the Qing Dynasty on Maoshan Mountain many times."

Guan Luoyang picked up the teapot, and when the cold tea was poured out, it had already brought steaming steam, with a line of green jade like jade, poured into the blue porcelain cup after the rain.

"There is a female general in our army. She used to practice Taiqing Tianxin theory. Thanks to Liu Zhenren's advice, she was able to guard against it. She talked to me about Liu Zhenren many times, so that before I met the real person, I had already consciously treated the real person. Got a little bit of an understanding."

Liu Hunkang said with a smile: "It turns out that the little killer came to Liangshan, but she may not be very familiar with Pindao. Your Excellency risked her life and came here rashly. Are you afraid that it is too hasty?"

Guan Luoyang put down the teapot: "What the real person said is that if you listen to both, you will be enlightened, but if you believe too much, you will be dark. So in addition to chatting with her, I also sent someone to Maoshan to visit Qingzong."

He paused, looked at Liu Hunkang's expression, and said, "Oh, I should say please, after all, the old Taoist leader I invited was very arrogant and extremely decisive in his actions."

After hearing this, Liu Hunkang lowered his head slightly, his facial features hidden in the shadow of the veil, and sighed after a long time.

"If you let Lin Lingsu go to Maoshan, the court soldiers who are in charge of guarding Maoshan disciples will naturally not be able to find out. But Lin Lingsu can find that the people on Maoshan are only paper puppets and some fake bodies transformed from copper beans. .”

After shaking his head, Liu Hunkang raised his eyes and said, "Children of Maoshan, where are you now?"

Guan Luoyang smiled: "Lin Lingsu followed the vine, and although he didn't find all of them, he invited [-] to [-]% of them to Liangshan as guests. Don't worry, Liu Zhenren, they are very respected among the people of Liangshan, and they enjoyed themselves happily. They all lived happily."

Guan Luoyang's words were true. Although the Maoshan people were all in a coma with smoke when they were brought back by Lin Lingsu, Guan Luoyang did not treat them badly.

These Taoist priests are very knowledgeable, and they are just used to continue to hold literacy classes for the people in the mountains and increase the scale of teaching people literacy.

It's just that, as the Lord of Liangshan, he ran to Liu Hunkang in the middle of the night and said such words.

It's hard to say what Liu Hunkang would think after listening to it.

"Alas! It took them eight years to slowly escape the supervision of the imperial court. It is because the old man knows that the time for autopsy is approaching, and people from Maoshan should not continue to be involved in the affairs of the imperial court."

Liu Hunkang's expression suddenly relaxed, "However, the Emperor of Heaven has restrained me for many years, so it's okay to make some troubles for him before escaping from the secular world. If you have any ideas, you can speak up."

Guan Luoyang smiled, and flicked the cup of hot tea steadily towards Liu Hunkang: "I just want to ask Master Liu to help the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to dispel evil spirits and cure diseases..."

After a while, Liu Hunkang was the only one left in the room.

"Hidden and haunted, the younger generation is scary. If you are younger, at least you have to wrestle with him before talking about other things."

Liu Hunkang was holding his teacup, and he had only drank a little of the hot tea in it, when he heard someone yelling outside the door, asking him to discuss matters.

The messenger led Liu Hangkang out of the mansion and went straight to the military field in the middle of the city.

The rammed loess formed an open and flat field. Thousands of soldiers had already gathered in the field. Many of them were not fully dressed, as if they had just got up from the tent and rushed here. Uneasy look.

When they arrived at the Dianbingtai, Chen Xizhen greeted him immediately, the first time he was so enthusiastic.

"Mr. Huayang, the people in Liangshan did not know what tricks they used to make many soldiers in the camp lose their shadows. You are the master of Maoshan, with profound Taoism, do you know how to crack it?"

Liu Hunkang turned his head to look, and sure enough, there were no shadows under the feet of the soldiers in the field. The moonlight shone on them, on their panicked faces whispering and looking around, and on their feet, the land was covered with silver sand. The moonlight shines brightly.

The whole scene has a weird sense of lack.

Chen Xizhen practiced the Taoism taught by Longhu Mountain, but he concentrated on the way of swordsmanship and luck, and also dabbled in the art of moving the five elements and wind and thunder, so he didn't have any profound insights.

Wang Laozhi only concentrates on alchemy.

Gou Ying and the others also looked at it, but they didn't have any clues and couldn't decipher it.

"If Mr. Huayang can't think of a way to crack it, he has no choice but to send these people out of the city first and find a place to station temporarily."

Chen Xizhen looked calm and composed, but there was a faint gloomy look on his face, "But no matter what, we must find out the way for the people in Liangshan to cast spells as soon as possible, otherwise, more and more people will fall under this spell."

Liu Hunkang waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, wait for me to take a closer look."

He called a few soldiers at random, and asked them if they had noticed anything unusual about him recently?When did you realize that you had no shadow tonight?

Then I asked Chen Xizhen and others, what is the difference between these soldiers and other soldiers who did not have any abnormalities?
Feng Hui said: "These people seem to be the weaker ones among the officers and soldiers, and even some of them are private soldiers who were mixed in not long ago. Recently, they often attack the Liangshan barracks."

"now it's right."

Liu Hunkang said, "When Chen Daozi bombarded Quancheng Mansion with cannon fire, all the paper figures and horses guarding the city were smashed and scattered in the city. These are the first medium for casting spells, but they are still too weak. And this When they went out for a period of time, they were all fighting with bunting paper figurines, and they were contaminated with each other's breath, this is the second layer of media."

"With these two layers of media, Zhang Wanxian can perform the "Three Forbidden Laws of Heavenly Spiritual Light". This is the untold secret in the Three Mountains and Nine Marquis Zuodao Dharma books. I also saw it from a fragment of the manual."

"People who have been affected by this spell, if they can't find their own shadows before the third rooster crows tomorrow, they will lose their souls and sleep forever on the spot."

Feng Hui wondered: "Where are there still chickens in the spring city now, is it okay if you can't hear the crowing of the cock?"

Liu Hunkang coughed lightly.

Gou Ying explained: "The so-called three watch lights and five watch rooster crow, but when the rooster crows mentioned in Taoism, it actually refers to the five watch day."

A messenger came rushing forward and hurriedly reported that many people in the barracks found themselves missing.

After Chen Xizhen sent people to count, more than ten thousand people have been affected by this spell, and he couldn't help being surprised and angry: "Zhang Wanxian actually has this kind of method, which can curse and kill tens of thousands of magic soldiers at the same time?!"

Liu Hunkang said: "It's almost a desperate move for him. Even if he succeeds, his vitality will be seriously injured. If someone breaks the law, I'm afraid he will die on the spot."

Chen Xizhen's eyes lit up, and he quickly cupped his hands: "It sounds like Mr. Hua Yang already has a solution?"

Liu Hunkang said: "Please gather all these cursed people, count the number, and then go to the barracks to find an equal number of people who have not been cursed."

Chen Xizhen complied according to law.

Liu Hunkang asked the more than 1 people who had never been cursed to take off their shirts, wrap red cloth strips around their arms and heads, and make them look like ghost boys.

The orthodox Taoism does not recognize the identity of the "ghost boy" who communicates with ghosts and gods, but Liu Hunkang now wants to break the forbidden technique of leftism, and it is precisely to use partial control.

Such behavior made Chen Xizhen and the others faintly feel that it was correct.

"The time for the old man's corpse to be dissected is approaching, this should be my last shot, so let's use this as a weapon."

Liu Hunkang said, "You have to guard me, no matter what you see, don't rush to help, and don't let people disturb me."

Chen Xizhen nodded repeatedly, and immediately invited many generals to arrange internal and external defenses. At this time, he did not relax his vigilance around the city, and still let many generals guard carefully, and sent a large number of warlocks to take care of the gunpowder.

As for the Dianbingtai, he, Wang Laozhi, Gou Ying, Wang Tianba, Fenghui, Haransheng and others personally guarded it.

Liu Hunkang looked up at the sky, and it was already the third watch.He took off his hair crown, took off his boots, shaved his hair barefoot, and with a jade ruler in his hand, he walked to the center of the platform.

When the jade ruler was tapped lightly, the center of the platform sank immediately, and countless water mist gathered in the air, forming droplets, which fell into the pit, and soon gathered into a small pool.

The more than 2 soldiers in front of the counting platform recited in unison the short incantation that Liu Hunkang taught them just now, it was less than ten syllables, and they repeated it over and over again, upside down and upside down. Repeatedly.

The dry voice gradually converged into a grand humming. When Liu Hunkang waited for the sound wave to reach a certain limit, the jade ruler drew a circle in the air and pointed into the pool.

The hazy water surface suddenly seemed to be blown away by the strong wind, and became smooth like a mirror, revealing a clear figure.

It was Zhang Wanxian who was standing on a high platform somewhere, holding a wooden staff and doing the exercises.

The gazes of the two Taoists meet across the water, and the jade ruler and the wooden staff draw mysterious trajectories respectively, creating a strange sense of synergy.

The sky was full of wind and clouds, and the empty and lonely artistic conception descended from the changing moonlight clouds to the military field. The soldiers felt that the people around them were suddenly far away from them.

The sound of those incantations became more blurred, resounding in every corner of the surrounding area, and everyone's eyelids began to be unable to support them, and gradually became groggy.

Suddenly a wave exploded in the pool.

Liu Hunkang's face became serious, full of mana, and he shouted: "It's hard for him to defeat me in a fight, and someone must come to disturb the altar."

As soon as the words fell, a cyan streamer slowly rose in the sky and night.

That cyan brilliance, dragging a slender tail flame, pierced the night sky, pierced through the wind and clouds, and quickly approached the spring city.

"Good time!"

Chen Xizhen looked up to the sky and screamed, "You are finally coming to fight me for real!!"

Amid the long howls, he pinched the sword finger with his left hand and lifted it upwards, and the female sword of the two swords behind his back flew out of its sheath.

The mighty blade of the sword screamed loudly, resounding passionately around the entire field of soldiers.

I saw that this precious sword was like black jade, and also like crystal. It was exquisitely carved, and the hilt was round, except for the four-foot-nine-inch blade, which had sharp edges and corners.

If an ordinary person dared to look at this sword at this time, he would probably feel completely ecstasy, his limbs and bones, sword energy leaking from thousands of pores, and his body and mind would be broken!
Shattered in the boundless sword intent, it became a drop in the ocean of this flying sword sword intent!
Longhushan's three-five male and female evil-slashing swords, one is a magic sword and the other is a flying sword.

Legend has it that Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of heaven, obtained the true biography of the Supreme Master, and used the technique of flying swords to subdue the ghosts of the six heavens and the eight demon kings. The murderous aura was too heavy and the danger was exposed. Quit in the ghost well.

Then Zhang Daoling set down the 24 clear regulations of Dao Kingdom with the majestic sword method. This sword has become the symbol of authority of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain and has been passed down from generation to generation.

Back then, Chen Xizhen took advantage of the power of the Mandate of Heaven to surround Longhu Mountain with soldiers. Not only did he seize the Celestial Master's magic sword, but he also forcibly opened the Jieguijing Well, took out the flying swords, made a pair, and wore them with him.

For many years, he had to appreciate these two swords every day, so that he felt satisfied.

Jinxi's flying sword was unsheathed, piercing the sky, piercing through the sky full of moonlight, forming a trail of black crystals, illusory and hazy, pure and beautiful.

Under the sky, the unscrupulous and bursting blue air stream star collided with the black crystal trajectory obliquely shooting into the sky from the ground.

Only a long chant like a whistle spread.

The extremely rich cyan vitality was split and peeled off piece by piece, making a hissing sound, and was wiped out out of thin air under the sword intent of the flying sword of the Heavenly Master.

But the Heavenly Master Flying Sword also trembled wildly after being smashed, and the flexible sword danced in all directions, like a huge black crystal lotus blooming, blocking Guan Luoyang.

Every petal, every edge, is the edge of the sword that can easily cut through the body of the diamond and destroy the spirit of ghosts.

Guan Luoyang leaned down, stretched the five fingers of his right hand, and the devouring vortex formed by distorting gravity suddenly emerged, swallowing up all the messy sword energy, even though many deep visible bones were cut between the five fingers, but no blood flowed scars.

In an instant, of all the chaotic sword energy in front of him, only the original sword body remained.

Guan Luoyang's gesture changed, and he flicked his five fingers randomly, striking the spine of the sword heavily. The sword energy that had just penetrated into the wound in his palm was forced out by him, wrapped in blue lightning, and blasted back into the sword body.

When the flying sword was trembling, Guan Luoyang grabbed the hilt with his left hand, using the sword as a knife, flew down into the city, and slashed towards the military platform with his sword.

Chen Xizhen drew his magic sword out of its sheath with his right hand, and greeted him with a sword.

This dharma sword is like an ordinary iron weapon. The body of the sword is silver and inscriptions are engraved with astrology.

When the dharma sword and the flying sword were about to collide, the flying sword of the celestial master in Guan Luoyang's left hand suddenly dissipated.

How could the flying sword refined by Zu Tianshi be so easily captured by others.

This flying sword has been smelted from tangible to intangible, from the elite of metals and minerals to the pure vitality of Taoism that does not increase and disappear. When gathered, it becomes form, and when dispersed, it becomes qi There is no hindrance to entering and exiting gold and stone, and there is no trace of traversing water and fire.

No matter how exquisite Guan Luoyang's left hand was when catching it, the wind, thunder and gravity changed, but it couldn't restrain the flying sword from escaping.

The flying sword suddenly disappeared, and Chen Xizhen's magic sword lost its hindrance within a short distance, and drove straight in.

Guan Luoyang turned around like lightning, and avoided Chen Xizhen's magic sword by an inch.

Instead, around Chen Xizhen, five afterimages were left behind, shaped like plum blossom marks.

The five-step plum blossom, Zhou Tian Daochang, smashed the stele hand!

Five berserk vitality, above Chen Xizhen's head, combined into an unavoidable giant hand and pressed down. He picked up the tip of the sword, and the magic sword stabbed straight upwards, with a sound like cracking silk.

The vitality was torn apart, the five figures dispersed, and Chen Xizhen's feet sank half a foot.

Guan Luoyang had already rushed to the Dianbingtai.

Gou Ying, the real man who binds evil, has practiced the six gods to bind the spirit rope. With a thought, he can emerge out of thin air, and pull the target's wrist, ankle, neck, and waist from six directions.

He had the experience of fighting Guan Luoyang before, and he was ready to go. With a flash of his mind, six golden chains were bound to six parts of Guan Luoyang's body.

The other end of the chains is completely hidden in the air, but there is a huge pulling force, even if it is a 500-year-old dragon monster, if it is entangled by these chains, it will be powerless on the spot and at its mercy.

However, there was almost no obstacle between Guan Luoyang's movements, he pulled back the six chains and continued to rush towards the training platform.

The spells of other Taoist officials collided with Guan Luoyang, who was bursting with all his strength, like a mayfly shaking a tree. They only added a little more color to his body, and were immediately dispersed by the thick and boundless vitality and lightning.

Fenghui slashed at his shoulder, but he couldn't cut it in. Haransheng, who was just injured, lifted the one-legged bronze figure and smashed it on the back of Fenghui's sword, making Guan Luoyang's footsteps a little stagnant.

The weapons of several other generals were smashed at once.

Wang Laozhi walked between Fenghui and Haransheng, stretched out his hands, and pushed towards Guan Luoyang kindly.

Guan Luoyang kept his hands free, just to be on guard against him, and raised his palms to fight him.

Boom! ! ! !

The four hands are connected, the sound coming out is not particularly loud, there is only a layer of spherical hot wind swaying away, but the surrounding wind will wait for a few generals, the pain is like needles all over the body, the skin is dry to white, and dandruff , chapped lips bleeding.

In an instant, several people were all scattered.

Guan Luoyang was also beaten and retreated.

Wang Laozhi swayed, his breath was trapped in his chest, and his voice became a little hoarse: "What a heavy hand, more vicious than last time, it seems that he really wants to kill the person who breaks the curse!"

Holding the dharma sword in his hand, Chen Xizhen slashed to Guan Luoyang's side again. The flying sword could freely change between visible and intangible, circling around.

Just as Guan Luoyang fought with Wang Laozhi, he was overwhelmed, and there was a bloodstain on the side of his neck.

His right hand pointed like a knife, facing the flying sword, and his left hand held the magic sword hard with one hand. The back of his hand was pierced by the sword point, and the damaged palm strength, accompanied by blood, still hit Chen Xizhen's arm.

Chen Xizhen only felt the muscles in his forearm twitch and his bones were crispy, but when he saw the other party bleeding, the excitement in his heart overwhelmed the pain, and he pressed the handle of the magic sword with his other hand and pushed forward with all his might.

"Guan Luoyang, Liangshan has already been forced to the point where you are out of skills. If you are broken again today, the situation is over!"

"Just you?"

Guan Luoyang said indifferently, unable to hide his anger, he threw off the magic sword, changed his fists and palms, and fought with the sword with his bare hands, fighting at close range, shooting chaotically, suppressing the sword moves repeatedly.

However, Chen Xizhen's two swords work seamlessly, whenever the dharma sword has deficiencies, the flying sword can make up for it.

The two fought like flying sand and rocks, fighting from the ground to the mid-air, getting closer and closer to the Dianbingtai.

Wang Laozhi made another slap from the air. The colorless fire dragon was so arrogance that Guan Luoyang had no choice but to respond with a slap back, and moved away from the military platform again.

On the spotting platform, when Liu Hunkang's spells reached a critical point, he threw a jade ruler into the pool, and a scream came from the pool.

There were more than [-] ghouls around the Dianbingtai, and suddenly their whole body trembled, and a shadow floated above their heads.

"Shadowless people, quickly take the shadow and swallow it!"

Liu Hunkang seemed to have aged a lot, and after yelling this, he fell down and sat on the stage.

Those soldiers who had lost their shadows didn't have time to think about it, and they stretched out their hands to grab it, and they really seemed to be able to catch the shadows, like cotton wool.

They pulled out the swaying black shadows from the heads of the shamans, stuffed them into their mouths, swallowed them, and lowered their heads to look at them. Under their feet, thick black shadows spread out, forming their own shadow.

Guan Luoyang let out a mournful growl, he no longer loves to fight, he swung his palms and hit the ground, there was a loud explosion in the military field, the ground was torn apart, smoke and dust rose suddenly, he took this opportunity and left the spring city.

"You don't have to be complacent, Liang Shan, you won't admit defeat so easily!"

Chen Xizhen didn't go after him, but just stared at the blood left on his sword for a long time before smiling.

The shadow in his heart was swept away, the two swords were sheathed, Liu Hunkang and others were placed, and many soldiers were ordered to return to the camp.

"The Poliang bandit is just around the corner."

Chen Xi sighed with genuine satisfaction, and said to his confidant general, "Guan Luoyang is indeed respectable, but these grassroots still don't understand. Since the revival of the magic way, the folks no longer have any foundation to fight against the court."

Liangshan is indeed strong enough, but Liangshan does not have the soldiers, horses, food and grass that can really support them. If this kind of war of attrition is fought against the background, they will undoubtedly lose.

Even if the foundation created by the Emperor of Heaven in the future collapses, it will only be the result of the upper class fighting for power and profit, and the successors making mistakes.

Grass people, grass people, in the next ten generations and hundreds of generations, they will only be grass in the end.

"tomorrow!"

Chen Xizhen clenched it into a fist and said, "Tomorrow is the time for the general attack."

………………

Between the mountains and fields, Guan Luoyang walked and stopped. Looking at the moonlight in the mountains and forests, my heart felt more relaxed.

"it is good."

He smiled happily, snapped his fingers, and said, "Second round, complete."
