The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

The Taoist is Cthulhu Chapter 520: The rain is coming

Li Fan traveled through the tunnels for several days, chasing him to the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province, but failed to trace the source of the Yuanfeng Iron Flow because he found that the rat nest seemed to be just a transit station. The underground world opened up by these rats was far beyond his imagination. , and even created an underground world under the entire Central Plains Gyeonggi!

In fact, the direct amount of work done by the mice is not large, because the current Miyuan was originally the New King's Palace, and the Immortal Palace has existed in the world for a long time. It has gone through wars, been rebuilt repeatedly, and was razed to the ground several times by civil wars, similar to the previous few days. The commotion of burning sand rolls and razing half of the city is not worth mentioning at all.

Therefore, the real old capital has long been submerged underground. The ruined royal city, destroyed palaces, and the ancestral tombs of local nobles were all built under the sand beneath the Three Walls. There are always some buildings among them that still have spiritual power and can generate a space similar to an underground palace. So what the rats did was to dig holes under the entire royal palace and connect all these tombs and old palaces.

But in this way, the direction of the Yuanfeng Iron Current was in chaos. All the forks in the road had causes and effects, and there were probably some small and large branch lines in the underground palaces everywhere that interfered by chance. Therefore, Li Fan could only drill left and right in the mouse hole. Try your luck. After hiding in the tunnel for an unknown amount of time, Leng Buding appeared in front of a stone door. A maid peered through the door and stared at him, which shocked him so much that his mood dropped a bit.

After taking a closer look, I found that this was not a real person, but an entrance design designed by a maid to open the door, probably to scare 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 around the eyes. The inner layer of the stone was empty, and seemed to contain some meat residue, about It had been eaten by worms and rats, and there was a curse on the maid's back, which was so bloody that it looked like it had been pulled out by hand.

Li Fan did some research and deduced that this was a kind of witchcraft. He beat a living person to death, peeled off his skin, pounded it into mud, poured it into a stone clay doll through the holes in his eyes, and then put the person into a clay doll. The soul was sealed outside by the leather sheath so that it could never be reincarnated. It was placed at the entrance of the tomb to guard the tomb of its owner. If a tomb robber broke in, he would be killed by the curse of the wronged soul on the spot.

Why is Li Fan so familiar? To be honest, it is a bit similar to the ancient Jian Tong method of the Sword Sect. The Tong Zi sword also has a similar child light technique. It is probably an evil method circulated in the ancient Immortal Palace period.

After so many years, the Dharma has dissipated and the Tao has disappeared. I wonder if the hatred of this servant girl has dissipated...

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

ah--!

The moment the coffin was opened, the spiritual energy inside the coffin was activated, and the owner of the Immortal Zombie in the tomb jumped out!

This corpse is still in decay. It is wearing three male robes, all of which are made of pure silk. They are as bright as ever. The nine holes in the eyes, ears, nose, and body are still stuffed with burial jade to replenish energy and protect the body. Although the life is exhausted and the soul has dispersed, both eyes and ears are still alive. The palm was inserted in front of the face but it had the potential to break the sound. I'm afraid he was also a master of the Personalized God Realm back then!

Li Fan was well prepared. He ducked out of the way, grabbed the immortal zombie by the collar and shook it, then shattered the talisman and jade hidden in the immortal zombie's body, as well as the body protection magic weapon, the skin and flesh of the tibia, and the immortal zombie was lost in an instant. The ability to move was thrown out of the tomb with a rag belt, and fell into a mouse hole with a bang. The sebum began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then Li Fan put the stone maid under his arm into the coffin, picked up the coffin board and covered it with her. He recited several rounds of mantras to save her. When he finished the task and turned to leave, Li Fan suddenly heard There was a crisp sound behind him.

When he turned around to look, he saw that the ever-burning lamp in the tomb had been blown to the ground by the dark wind in the hall. Li Fan lifted the lamp up and glanced at the silk robes and funerary objects scattered on the ground outside. Suddenly, his mind moved. I walked around the tomb, doing calculations, feeling a little puzzled and suspicious.

I immediately followed the Mouse Cave a few more times, walked through a few more tombs and underground palaces, and drew a route map on the ground based on my memory, which I could see clearly at once.

These mice are not here to rob tombs, and the mouse holes are not dug randomly. It is not a coincidence that they have penetrated into the tombs and underground palaces. It is just that the ancestors happened to place the tombs and underground palaces at the nodes of the earth veins, and the purpose of these mice is to open up these The node connects the Qi veins of Sanyuan's underground formation.

Someone is using these rats to set up a formation. A large formation encompassing the entire Wang Jing!

Are you here for the Tutor?

Li Fan looked at the sketch he had drawn, his brows furrowed, and he could see clearly that Sanyuan was such a big place, and he couldn't figure out who set up this formation, what effect it had, let alone where the mice were building their nests. How long has it been secretly transporting Yuanfeng Liutie, and how many weapons and equipment have been accumulated. How far has the army of rats underground been prepared?

If this formation turns out to be another extremely large-scale Ten Jue Formation, how many people in Gyeonggi Province can survive...

Even if it wasn't a big killing move like the Ten Jue Formation, just having so many rats scurrying out without warning would definitely be a disaster for all living beings.

With Gongqing's usual behavior, they will not care about the life and death of the common people. What's more, they are all aloof and living on Feikong Fairy Island. As long as they are not unlucky enough to be caught up in the formation, there is something that can be solved early. If they fly, the landslides and cracks on the ground won't hurt them at all?

As for the Taifu, haha, with Taifu's forbearance, it is nothing to cause a rat plague and kill some ordinary people. Maybe he has arrived long ago, but he is just keeping the same in response to the ever-changing changes, taking a long-term view, and fishing for big fish... …

Li Fan also has a headache now. Should he continue to search, find the culprit and defuse the bomb, or should he go out immediately to report to the officials and organize the people to evacuate?

If the rat nest underground in Beimang Mountain is wiped out immediately, what should be done with the remaining forces in other places? If those who secretly arranged the conspiracy noticed that things were exposed, would they launch their plans in advance? After all, in a place as big as Sanyuan, how could it be possible to arrange for so many people to flee? What if the rat array underground is actually not a big deal?

This time it is really uncertain...

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

What he was betting on was that whether it was the Taifu or the anti-Taifu forces, the life and death of the common people was not worth mentioning.

As long as the master is still squatting at home and does not give him a chance, other people on the chessboard will not take the initiative to reveal their trump cards!

So as long as Li Fan doesn't take the initiative to reveal this card, he will still have time!

So Li Fan immediately escaped back to the ground. He first found Sanyuan's map, looked through it, and made a plan. Then, in the name of Sikong Caopu, he found the contractors and said,

Cao Cao discovered that the water transport in Gyeonggi was in disrepair and had been blocked for a long time, and that the river channels were quite different from those in Xinjing. He decided to recruit the people of Gyeonggi to clean up the blocked rivers and rebuild the canals. In this way, when rebuilding the royal city, it would be easier to transport stone and wood. It is convenient and can continue to be used as a commercial port in the future. Isn’t it beautiful?

The contractors were all stunned, and then they all said, Cao Peng is awesome, but who will pay for it?

Li Fan said, you can rest assured about this. I sold the Yuhou Mansion to raise start-up funds. I will start this project first. Then the management rights of the canal will be auctioned off, so I won't worry about not being able to raise money.

The contractors were all 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, just think that I want to get promoted and make a fortune, just for a false reputation, let's start work quickly, life and death are at stake, don't talk nonsense.

In fact, the court has been delaying the rebuilding of the canal for a long time, but no one has been willing to take the lead in such a thankless task. It is more profitable to develop real estate, and it is rare for a country bumpkin to be crazy and willing to build infrastructure at his own expense, so Afraid that this idiot would regret it when he reacted, he pushed it up and down, and it was really rare to get it working. He mobilized tens of thousands of people in Gyeonggi Province to go out of the city to clean up the long-blocked river channel.

Of course, the nobles will not come to serve, only the people at the bottom will come to work. Although they have wages and food, they are still complaining, complaining that the new Cao Cao, in order to curry favor with the higher-ups and flatter the court, engages in such wasteful activities that waste people and money. Even though there are river transport and airships available, they still have to travel dozens of miles to build some ancient river channel.

Li Fan didn't have the same experience as them. After all, the scope of the Mouse Formation was a bit large. It would be safer to run outside the city to avoid disasters. It would take at least three to five months for the canal to be repaired. Besides, if something big happened, there would be no need to repair the river.

After all, according to Li Fan's calculations, seeing the undercurrents in Sanyuan and the military situation of the invasion of the divine religion in the west is urgent, something will really happen if the Taifu squats at home. Sooner or later, he will have to be forced out to overcome the disaster. That is, the winner will be decided within this month.

Yes, Li Fan has been telling fortunes, drilling holes, and building canals these days. The court really has no time to care about him. Urgent military information from the Western Regions has been sent one after another, and the people in Sanyuan have also realized that this is a god. This is the prelude to another large-scale invasion of the Central Plains. The army is being urgently mobilized for the western expedition. Even Li Fan's proposal to clean up the canal was to ease the transportation of military supplies so that it could pass smoothly.

Now, although Li Fan found reasons to arrange for many people to leave the city, seeing that the disaster was about to begin, this was not enough. He decided to find a way to find a way to find the real authority in Gyeonggi Province, Zhong Hui, who serves as the Sili Colonel.

Yes, Zhong Hui has now resigned from the post of Zhongshu Lang and officially served as the Sili Xiaowei. It seems that he is afraid that he will make too great a contribution to pacifying Zhenzhou. In preparation for the Western Expedition this time, Taifu simply changed his team and promoted him again. A Taiwei surnamed Deng was appointed as the shepherd of Duizhou. He was responsible for controlling the imperial army and arranging food and wages. This is done with caution. There are many cronies under his command, and everyone is on guard.

Although Zhong Hui handed over military power, he also performed extraordinary feats. Wasn't it said that the Duke of Xinling County was accused of colluding with the Demon Cult to assassinate Sikong? But now it's reversed. It turns out that there was another person who assassinated Sikong, and it was actually Chao Che. Riding General! This careerist who was hiding in Sanyuan colluded with the Demon Cult, assassinated the three princes of the imperial court, and tried to overthrow the Taifu! What a heinous crime!

But you don’t have to worry, the generals of the Wei, the Central Guards, the Tingwei and the Sili Xiaowei are all working together to capture it, and the criminal has been brought to justice! The whole family has been wiped out! The legal network is wide open and no leaks are missed. No criminal can escape the iron fist!

So Li Fan went to Caishikou to visit Captain Sili, and happened to catch up with him to watch the beheading.

Wow, there are more than 400 people in the family, all kneeling. There is a high platform on the execution ground. Two great spiritual officials are standing on the platform, and three guillotines with dragon heads, tiger heads, and dog heads are waiting on the platform. These are the three first-grade guillotine swords that can be used to kill princes, ministers, and common people! When displayed, it is really bloody, murderous, and majestic!

On the stand on one side, Zhong Hui, who was wearing the official robe of a Sili school lieutenant and was ordered to supervise executions, looked up at the sky and calculated that noon had arrived, so he threw the flag and said, Guillot!

All the school captains' soldiers in the stands roared in unison, Guillotine!

I honor your order!

The two innate generals, Lord Yi Qi, and the Great Spiritual Officer Dutian Jiu punished each other clasped their fists together, opened their divine eyes, and their divine light bloomed, shooting directly at the tiger's guillotine!

Guillotine!

A tiger roar resounded throughout the capital! The tiger's head is struck with a guillotine! Blood light flashed, heads rolled around, red blood shot into the sky, vermilion covered the ground, and the whole family died! How spectacular!

Seeing such a big scene for the first time, Li Fan couldn't help but feel his scalp numb. When he asked, this was not the first batch. The direct descendants of the former Cavalry General Dong Clan had long been killed, and now they were slaying Dong Clan's vassals. Fang's son-in-law's family must have been implicated in the killing of the Nine Clan.

In addition to these personal documents, there are also the confidants of the generals of chariots and cavalry, and the personal soldiers of the school captains under their jurisdiction. The whole family also fights together. In short, don't look at the Taifu who shrinks like a tortoise. Once he gets into trouble, They came very simply, not playing any role in exile at all, just killing them all in batches. In total, they must have killed four to five thousand people.

Alas, even though the family has a long history and has many children, even if they are chopped down, not a single one will be left alive.

Li Fan didn't bother others on his errands. He waited until these ministers had finished beating him before coming up. Zhong Hui naturally knew that Li Fan was watching a show nearby, so she walked out on the blood mud accumulated on the jade steps and greeted Li Fan with a smile.

Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yu, is here. What do you want to give Hui Hui?

Oh, I heard that Sili uncovered the case of a traitor in the Demon Sect and made great achievements. He was awarded the title of Marquis of Dongwu Ting. I came here to congratulate him.

Hahaha, Marquis Yu is so polite, come on, ride with me.

Li Fan's matter is actually very simple. He just said that in order to meet the construction deadline, a little more corvee was levied this time. Many wives and wives were separated and complained, which affected the production efficiency. Anyway, they are in the capital. Can their whole family be requisitioned and sent to live outside the city at the construction site? You can't return to the city until you finish building the river, so the project can go faster.

Zhong Hui also gave him face, and laughed and said: Yuhou is too smart, I understand what you mean, I will drive all these poor people out of the city and free up the land for your construction. Come, drink.

Li Fan wanted to say that he didn't mean it this way, but when he thought about it, it was almost the same meaning. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I would like to thank Si Li for his help, and I will give it to you.

In this way, the two of them laughed and drank again. Zhong Hui was also thirsty after killing too many people, so she drank a few more glasses, and then 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 advanced furiously, sent troops from the sandbank, rushed thousands of miles, broke into the Black Mountain Pass, captured Quanzhou, cut off the supply lines of Yumen outside the pass, and the two major military towns in Quanzhou, and the news outside the pass was cut off. There are rumors 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 ambushed and suffered a disastrous defeat. In short, the divine religion moves too fast, and it is definitely impossible for the guards guarding the legions in various places to come back and assemble. Supplies were cut off again, and only one road was broken through one by one. The west of the Qilian Mountains was basically no longer owned by the Immortal Palace.

Now Wuliang Jinghua of Dui State has gone to the three prefectures of Sha, Yu, and Quan when the war started, and now there are also two prefectures of Pingliang. All departments of the Western Army are gathering urgently, but the police in Pingzhou are already everywhere. For a while, the Great Wall of Xiguan is on fire everywhere. It seemed that they were being attacked by the divine army everywhere, and it was unknown how many troops crossed the long yellow sand to come over. Therefore, the main force of Pingzhou had to assemble in the county and defend the weak water line of the Heihe River, not daring to cross the river for rescue. , regarded as the first line of defense.

The soldiers and horses of the various ministries of the Dui Kingdom gathered in Liangzhou City behind. The Duke of Xinling County also received the imperial edict. The imperial court conquered the position of General of the West and quickly went to Liangzhou to serve as the nominal commander-in-chief of the Western Army. His clan status overcame these local vassal troops who did not obey the imperial court's orders, and served as a second wave of barrier against the divine troops.

As for the main force on Sanyuan's side, the Suwei army that pacified Zhenzhou was quickly marched westward under the leadership of Duizhou Mu under the arrangement of the Taifu. The army's food and fodder were all gathered in Xisuwei, and General Anxi's troops were also mobilized to prepare for the attack. The two states of Dui and Kun fought a decisive battle with the divine sect.
