No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 787 Mythical Creatures
Ouyang Rong found that he was wrong about one thing.

Combined with what Lu Ya and Shangqing Patriarch Hall revealed about the mysterious formation covering the southern part of the sky in Yunmeng Sword Lake, and the characteristics of blood bronze revealed by Rong Zhen not long ago.

As for the blood-bronze Yunmeng Order, his previous guess was that the Yunmeng Order could mobilize some of the killing power of the mysterious formation covering the southern part of the sky. To be more radical, it could be the sword energy of an unknown Ding sword.

Its effect is the same as that of the four Buddha statues and the Tianshu formation. Each Yunmeng Order is like a string of Buddhist beads distributed by the saints and the Wei family.

Obviously, Rong Zhen, who knew more about the inside story of Blood Bronze in advance, had the same idea as he did later. A long time ago, when he first discovered that Yunmeng Jianze had issued the Yunmeng Order, Rong Zhen prepared for defense according to this "worst-case scenario".

This included promoting the promulgation of the "Limiting the Number of Vietnamese Women Order" and using the severe punishment of the nine Yi tribes to scare off the heroes of the Tiannan martial arts world who held the order; there were also petitions to summon reinforcements from the Xuanwu Guards and the setting up of a white fog formation to "restrain blood bronze" in the Xunyang Grottoes, etc.

The defense of the Donglin Buddha is all based on this most obvious idea.

However, judging from what the Fang sisters said, the Yunmeng Orders that were sent out were not used to transmit sword energy and other killing power of the formation, but to... absorb spiritual energy?
Xue Zhongzhu, Yu Nianyuan and other Yue women did not want many heroes holding orders to gather together and attack the Donglin Buddha together.

There is no need for them to come.

It seems that the heroes holding the order only need to stay at their homes in various places in the south of the world, like the Zen Master Yizhi just now, find a safe and quiet pavilion, and silently inject spiritual energy into the Yunmeng Order at the agreed time, no matter how much they can inject.

In this way, there are undoubtedly many people who are willing to respond to Jianze, and even the limited Yuenu Order cannot restrict them.

Thinking hard.

In front of the gate of Fang Family Villa, Ouyang Rong had already let go of the bronze dagger in his hand and stopped injecting spiritual energy into it.

There was some sticky sweat on his palms, and he could vaguely feel the Yunmeng Order's huge thirst for spiritual energy at this moment.

Ouyang Rong gazed far away towards the twin peaks.

If this inference is correct, then there is a problem.

What is the purpose of this mysterious formation that covers the southern part of the sky?
It did not transmit sword energy and killing power like Songde Tianshu and the four-sided Buddha statues, but instead used the Yunmeng Order as a medium to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from all over Tiannan Jianghu and swallow it up...

First of all, it is obvious that it should be used to deal with the Donglin Buddha, and it may be Yunmeng Jianze’s finale.

Because this batch of Yunmeng Orders was issued on the eve of the completion of the Donglin Buddha, it was obvious what they were used against.

Yunmeng Jianze even distributed it openly and spread it under the nose of Sitianjian.

But how is it to be done?
Ouyang Rong frowned and thought carefully, then shook his head after a while.

No matter what is done, the mysterious Yunmeng formation is completely different from the Four-sided Buddha Statue, Songde Tianshu and other formations.

I don’t know if there is a Ding Sword similar to [Emperor Wen] in it, but there must be something else in it.

"Besides asking those of you who have spiritual energy to inject it on time, is there any other instructions for the Lady Lord Palace?"

Ouyang Rong came back to his senses and asked.

Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan looked at each other and shook their heads.

Ouyang Rong realized that the sisters probably had not yet cultivated their spiritual energy and were unable to inject spiritual energy on time... No wonder they were running around everywhere.

Ouyang Rong looked at the two girls twice more.

It seems like he is asking, aren't you afraid that Yunmeng Jianze will blame you for telling me all this?

Fang Juxiu whispered, looking at him with complicated eyes:
"You are indeed very different."

Fang Shengnan couldn't help it, she looked up with red eyes and said:
"Go find the young lady, go quickly, it turns out that we have been worrying too much. Master Ouyang, you are right, you are indeed different from us. You are not only the governor of Jiangzhou, but also the owner of the brilliant Dielian Flower, and you possess the mythical Ding Sword... You are worthy of being the man the young lady likes. She did not entrust her to the wrong person. This morning, she was so persistent that my sister and I couldn't stand it anymore... We misunderstood you."

She suddenly clenched her fist and touched Ouyang Rong's shoulder, as if to encourage him.

Ouyang Rong pursed his lips, turned around and walked away, getting on the carriage.

When the carriage was about to start, Fang Juxiu suddenly asked:
"Can we go over and take a look?"

Ouyang Rong glanced at the Yunmeng Order in their hands and said, "Shuangfeng Peak may be in danger. In addition to finding the embroiderer, I also have some grudges to deal with."

"It's okay, just do your thing and don't worry about us. My sister and I will never disturb you. We will just follow you from a distance and take a look."

Fang Shengnan waved her hands hastily, and found that Ouyang Rong gave her a slightly strange look. She explained shyly:
"I just want to see the scenery of Jianghu with my own eyes. Master Ouyang, we don't have your ability and need to grow up. However, if we can see you successfully find the young lady after overcoming all difficulties, it will be a comfort. It's like something you long for but can't do, and it's good for others to go there for you and satisfy your curiosity..."

Fang Shengnan looked at the young man in Confucian robes in front of her, her expression was a little excited, and she subconsciously danced a little:

"Master Ouyang, mother's lessons may be correct, but what you did today also made me realize that my aspirations were not wrong. There really are people who can wear green clothes and hold swords, go all the way north, and speak out when they feel injustice. It's not just a story in the book, but it's happening right in front of us. The elders may not be right."

Ouyang Rong looked at the two sisters and pursed his lips.

Fang Shengnan looked away somewhat embarrassedly, not daring to look at Ouyang Rong's clear eyes as he listened attentively:
"Mr. Ouyang may not understand this feeling. Yes, Mr. Ouyang never craned his neck to watch from below, but went on stage himself."

"Ready your horse."

"What?" Fang Shengnan was stunned.

"Prepare your horses and follow. Be careful."

After leaving a warning, Ouyang Rong lowered the curtain and the carriage started immediately, taking the nearest official road and rushing towards Xunyang Grottoes.

Fang Shengnan and Fang Juxiu looked at each other, somewhat excited, and went to take the horses to follow.

Ouyang Rong ignored the Fang sisters and returned to the carriage. He placed the cup of cold bitter tea on the small table. This cup of tea was brought out from the pavilion. Everyone was puzzled but did not dare to ask more questions.

Yan Liulang had put the violin case back in advance, and now Ouyang Rong opened it directly and searched for an authentic scroll.

At the same time, a string of eighteen-bead Buddhist beads was also found, which was given by Rong Zhen to his aunt Zhen Shuyuan.

"Xiao Rongzi, are we going to fight?"

A little black spirit poked its head out from Ouyang Rong's sleeve, its little face full of curiosity.

Ouyang Rong glanced at her sideways.

Miaosi jumped onto Ouyang Rong's shoulders, put her hands behind her back, and walked around his neck:
"He just cut off that stupid bald donkey's finger. He looks pretty handsome. He is worthy of being my follower."

Just as Ouyang Rong was about to stuff her into his sleeve, Miaosi's little face suddenly revealed a solemn expression:

"Xiao Rongzi, that cave, is it possible that the imperial court and the Yue women are going to fight? If you run over there, be careful. Both of them seem to have a grudge against you. Don't let them chase you and beat you up, or you'll end up in trouble."

She changed the subject and said seriously:
"No, as my follower, you can't be bullied by outsiders. Wait a minute, I'll give you something."

The little black spirit quickly slipped back into his sleeve, and after a while, he carried out three bamboo tubes and threw them into Ouyang Rong's hand.

Ouyang Rong looked puzzled at first, but he immediately reacted, grabbed three tubes of spiritual ink, examined them carefully, and looked surprised.

He was given three tubes of precious spiritual ink at once.

Ouyang Rong frowned and looked at Miao Si.

The little black spirit looked around but didn't meet his eyes.

"Okay, protect yourself well. I will just stand by and watch for now. I will attack you when you are beaten to a pulp and run away. Before that, don't bother me."

Miao Si put her hands behind her back and was about to run away.

The next moment, Ouyang Rong grabbed her and held her in front of his face.

The young man in scholar's robes finally figured out something, and looked at the panicked little black spirit with a stern face:
"So you were just slacking off before, right? Just helping out in emergencies and keeping a meal ticket?"

"No! This fairy lady relies on feeling. If I don't have feeling, I can't squeeze it out."

Ouyang Rong nodded: "But it is your mission to produce spiritual ink. You can't produce it just because you feel something, just like an Oiran can't receive a customer just because she feels something."

"Hey, that makes sense. Wait, are you saying that I am a prostitute?"

Miao Si touched his chin, suddenly realized what was going on, and became angry.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly "bumped". Unlike the left and right bumps it had been shaking before, this time the "bumps" were up and down, like jumping.

"Mingfu! The ground is shaking, like there's an earth dragon!"

Yan Liulang's urgent voice came from outside.

Ouyang Rong threw the little black spirit that was about to bite his finger back into his sleeve, and suddenly opened the curtain, only to see that he and Liu Lang's convoy were not far from the Twin Peaks.

At this moment, the entire ground and the forest began to tremble, and the birds in the forest flew into the sky in fright. This scene was like a dragon turning over. Ouyang Rong suddenly looked up at the sky, remembering something.

It was just past two o'clock.

Ouyang Rong suddenly turned his head and looked somewhere. Yan Liulang, the Fang sisters and others outside also noticed the abnormality and looked in the direction of Ouyang Rong's sight.

I saw a column of water splashing into the sky from the surface of the Shuangfengjian River which was shrouded in white mist not far away.

The water column came from nowhere, like a huge rock falling from the sky, hitting the river in the middle of the north and south banks of Shuangfengjian.

For a time, the earth shook.

……

The insect girl took off from an unknown dark place.

With one thing.

It seemed like something it had brought with it.

That place is deep in Yunmengze, but Chongniang has forgotten where it is exactly.

It's like something has erased my memory.

However, what the three claws were carrying made it feel vaguely uneasy.

The insect lady tightened her grip on something wet in her claws.

It didn't know how long it had been flying, it was just following some strange guidance.

The insect girl crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, flew over Yunmengze, flew over Longcheng County, and flew over Xunyang City.

Finally, we arrived at the Twin Peaks.

……

Xunyang Grottoes, inside the main grotto.

Nanny Song, Yi Qianqiu and others who stayed behind discovered that since Ouyang Rong "defected" and fled far away, Princess Zhenxian Rong seemed like a different person.

However, no one dared to mess with her.

After returning the white jade Buddhist beads, the old musician returned to the bamboo forest with his zither, apparently preparing to leave.

In the words of the old musician, Rong Zhen has already broken his appearance and is no longer attached to it. He can control the core of the Donglin Buddha formation alone.

Yi Qianqiu, Nanny Song and the others fell silent and deployed their defenses according to the plan.

The old musician's piano playing not long ago had no effect, which made everyone frown.

At least at that time, there were no traces of the Tiannan Jianghu rebels around the Xunyang Grottoes.

At this moment, Wei Wu did not dare to bring bad luck upon himself, so he turned around to arrange personnel and receive news from within the city.

However, the cave was ordered to be closed by Rong Zhen, so some news could not be transmitted for the time being.

Wei Wu also brought people to participate in the defense of the Buddha. After all, the Donglin Buddha was the political achievement of the Prince of Wei's Mansion.

At a certain moment, Yi Qianqiu turned around and looked in the direction of the platform.

A conspicuous figure in purple, with loose black hair, was sitting alone on a high platform, looking cold and lonely.

A golden halo surrounded her.

The girl in palace dress with long black hair didn't know what she was thinking. She lowered her head slightly and looked at the jade hairpin in her hand.

No one dared to approach and ask.

At this time, at 2:45 pm, an early warning from a soldier outside the main cave sounded.

"There's something in the sky!"

Rong Zhen stood up, with rich golden light surrounding his body. His cold eyes focused as he looked up at the sky.

Yi Qianqiu, Nanny Song, Wei Wu and others all looked up warily.

The female officials and soldiers inside and outside the main cave all braced themselves to meet the enemy.

I saw a black shadow flying in the clouds above.

It looks like a three-legged strange bird.

There was no one on the bird's back, not even a tall, blond-haired Hu Ji figure. However, it seemed to be holding something in its hand, much smaller than its body, like a tiger.

Everyone couldn't see clearly and looked confused.

At this moment, high in the sky, facing the pairs of doubtful eyes looking at her, the insect girl's pupils were erect and extremely cold.

It lowered its head slightly, and its cold brown pupils reflected a strange "white sturgeon" that it was holding on three legs.

It is the white sturgeon named "Dabai" by Li Shu. Today it looks a little different.

At the moment, "Dabai"'s whole body was shining with bronze luster, he was a little stiff, bleeding from all seven orifices, and his belly was bulging, as if he had eaten too much.

The bronze white sturgeon was caught by the insect girl's three legs, and its tail was slightly swinging in the strong wind. It was dying, as if it would die in the next second.

Thousands of miles above the clouds, the insect girl flew over the giant Buddha indifferently, loosened her claws, and gently tossed "Dabai" to the side of the road like a naughty little girl throwing an abandoned toy to the side of the road... The insect girl flew over the twin peaks and never looked back.

In the main cave, Rong Zhen, Nanny Song and other sharp-eyed people saw that this strange bird that came alone seemed to have dropped a tiny object.

It was very small, like a slightly larger stone, falling into the river in front of the Donglin Buddha in a parabolic arc.

"Plop" sound.

The sound of something falling into the water was so slight that it did not create many waves. In fact, the thick river fog directly covered it up. Even the female officials and soldiers closest to it could not see clearly what the object was.

It looks like... a fish? Or a piece of iron?

The crowd at the foot of the Buddha was in a silent atmosphere, with all their eyes fixed on the quiet place where the Buddha fell into the water.

This... is Yunmeng Jianze’s surprise attack today?

Throwing fish at people?

The girl in palace dress frowned indifferently and tightly grasped the white jade Buddhist beads.

Wei Wu and the others looked puzzled and exchanged glances.

Nanny Song looked at it for a while and sneered, "Oh, playing tricks."

Yi Qianqiu's face remained calm. He winked at his subordinates and asked a female official who was nearby to walk to the river with several soldiers.

They boarded the boat, sailed into the quiet river fog, and went to that part of the river to check the situation... The boat anchored, checked the water surface, time passed, and everything was normal.

Wei Wu, Yi Qianqiu and others exchanged glances and were about to breathe a sigh of relief.

The next moment.

The water surged thousands of feet high, the boats were overturned, the female officials were thrown backwards, the soldiers were bleeding, and they screamed and wailed.

Everyone was stunned to see a creature hundreds of feet long emerging from the misty river. At first glance, it looked like a fish, and its entire body was snow-white.

The "fish" is huge, only slightly shorter than the Donglin Buddha, and it is agile and ferocious. It is actually a living creature!

After seeing its shape and appearance clearly, the pupils of the people on the shore were shocked, as if they saw something terrible coming:
It was actually a white dragon that only existed in myths and legends!

"Wow!"

A roar, like the roar of a dragon.

It hit the Buddha with its body.
