Master of the World [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 236 1 The Spring River Flows Eastward 18

Seeing the mountains in front of my eyes, it took a lot of time to actually walk there.

It was dark and surrounded by layers of officers and soldiers. Wu Que was surprised: "Why are there so many officers and soldiers?"

Although it is normal for the guards to be heavily guarded because of the arrival of the emperor, tens of thousands of soldiers have not been dispatched in previous years.

"Probably because there was an incident of selling illegal salt some time ago."

Hearing this, Wu Que looked at Nan Hengyi: "Why do you know everything?"

Nan Heng smiled mysteriously: "Private salt is huge profits, but it is impossible for anyone who does business to not use his brains, the difference is only whether he dares to do it or not."

Wu Que didn't know much about business, and only focused on the current situation: "Is the private salt connected to so many officers and soldiers?"

Nan Hengyi: "Not long ago, Yao Haifeng, the owner of the Feiyu Tower, was killed on his way home. I received a report that there was no body left. It was rumored that it was the hands of the imperial court. Now Feiyu Tower is falling apart, and there are a group of people who are loyal to Yao Haifeng. His whereabouts are still unknown.”

Wu Que whispered: "You mean that some of them will assassinate Yao Haifeng for revenge?"

Nan Heng raised his eyebrows: "I didn't say that."

He pouted in the direction of the officers and soldiers: "It's just that they think it will be like this."

Lin Xun and the others arrived late, and after he reported the name of the Taoist temple, they were let go.

Nan Hengyi and Wu Que were still wearing masks. Wu Que didn't wear the exaggerated red wig. Fortunately, he was tall, so he couldn't tell his real age when he wore a mask. Others guessed that he was fourteen or fifteen years old at most. juvenile.

As soon as he arrived, he stood on tiptoe, trying to search for a certain figure across the black heads.

"Don't do useless work," Lin Xun said, "Your senior brother is not among them."

Wu Que: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Of course, because I'm also looking for him."

Wu Que let out an 'oh' at first, and after a while suddenly realized something was wrong: "You have met my senior brother... No, what did you ask my senior brother for?"

Lin Xun looked down at him, which made Wu Que terrified.

After a long while, Lin Xunfang looked away and said vaguely, "Of course it's for reunion."

"Whose circle is it?" Wu Que felt inexplicably cold.

Lin Xun: "What do you think?"

"..."

Although Wu Que tried his best to keep calm, Lin Xun seemed to see a shivering little sparrow through his stern face. When he looked up, he happened to meet the eyes of Qian Jiangyue, who had already noticed what was going on here. How long has the situation been, with a dazzling light in his eyes: "Interesting?"

Lin Xun: "Not bad."

After finishing speaking, he was attracted by other scenery, all kinds of Taoist robes were messed up in the wind, many of them were quite famous Taoist temples, when he observed, he could feel a gaze staring at his back burning hotly, he didn't need to guess to know it was Ye Bai, Lin Xun faintly noticed that the indifferent and cold Ye Bai seemed to be a little concerned about the matter of Luodengguan.

Tian Fan has been raising his head since he got here, staring at the mountain without blinking. After an unknown period of time, his throat moved, and he uttered a few words whimpering, like a wild horse about to rush out.

After bumping into several people in a row, Nan Heng pulled him back in time.

He was very strong, and the runes on his sleeves flickered faintly for a moment, which shocked Nan Hengyi to take a step back on the spot. The few people who were hit by the bump and were about to scold him saw this scene, and turned around angrily. I thought I was unlucky and stood elsewhere.

There will always be a few outstanding geeks in every lighting event. They thought that Tian Fan was one of them, and they didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes in the competition, so they didn't pursue it any further.

At the critical moment, four yellow talisman papers flew out from behind and stopped in four directions around Tian Fan. No matter how rampant he was, he couldn't take another step no matter what.

Tian Fan was like a rabid beast in the beginning, but after struggling to no avail, he suddenly calmed down, squatted down like a puppy, studied these talismans, looked at them for a long time, carefully stretched out a finger, just touched it, Black smoke came out of the talisman paper, and he quickly withdrew his hand and exhaled towards the burnt place.

Wu Que was so overwhelmed that she forgot to close her mouth. First, she glanced at Qian Jiangyue, who was standing there calmly, and said to Lin Xun, "You are stronger than you."

Lin Xun heard it, "I have no eyesight."

"I've heard from my master that this method is called annihilation. It can completely block the escape routes from four directions, east, west, south, east, and north. It can trap people to death without killing people."

While he was eloquently explaining, tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly knelt down at the same time, and the sound brought by the iron armor shook people's hearts. Lin Xun saw a bright yellow figure appearing in the front, surrounded by a group of people coming down the mountain road.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The man who was called the Son of Heaven was a man in his 40s, exuding an aura of majesty all over his body, but there was a rare affinity between his eyebrows and eyes.

Judging from his appearance, he already has the potential of a perfect politician.

Lin Xun noticed that some people on the field knelt down, but most of them just bowed respectfully.

Seeing him in a daze, Wu Que elbowed him, "Although the emperor has decreed that Taoist temples who come to the lantern lighting ceremony will be exempted from courtesy, but you should try to save face."

Lin Xun turned slightly to one side, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ye Bai behind him... unexpectedly standing as straight as little Bai Yang.

"In today's world, the weather is smooth and the people are happy. Originally, I and my people should usher in a peaceful and prosperous world." The emperor's voice was very strong, and it was easy to resonate with people's hearts: "But in such a peaceful world, Every year, many innocent people still die at the hands of night ghosts, many of them are still very young, they could have become the pillars of the country, but now they have turned into a handful of loess."

This remark coupled with the tragic sunset mountain is quite contagious, at least igniting a flame in the hearts of many young people, making them eager to participate in the hunting of night ghosts.

Compared with these agitated Taoist priests, Lin Xun was calm like a calm ocean, but only he knew what was hidden in this extreme calm.

Looking around, everyone around is full of fighting spirit. Through the eyes of some elderly Taoist priests, one can clearly perceive the deep hatred for the night ghost hidden inside.

That is the conclusion instilled by our ancestors for generations - people who are not of our race must have different hearts.

For the first time, he realized that no matter who the future world lord is, it is a change of mind that is a hundred times more difficult than conquest by force.

The emperor eloquently delivered a long series of speeches, and at the end his voice was suddenly very loud: "May all the lords eradicate the setting sun mountain monster as soon as possible, and return to this land peacefully!"

When the voice fell, the horn sounded, high-pitched and sharp, and the setting sun seemed to be shaken to ripples, announcing the official start of the lighting ceremony.

The original sea of ​​people seemed to be divided into countless streams in an instant, rushing to different places.

"Sunset Mountain has 230 and six entrances," Nan Heng said, "There are 72 shortcuts, all of which are extremely dangerous."

It takes at least one stick of incense to really enter the mountain. Since it is named lighting, the time for the game to start is naturally after dark, at sunset, and then go deep into the forest, which happens to be dark.

"Take a shortcut," Lin Xun said decisively, "Hit from a high place to a low place."

Nan Heng nodded: "It's high above the open space, easy to deploy, and most importantly, you can see the situation below."

Squinting her phoenix eyes, she looked at the hundreds of figures rushing towards the top of the mountain: "However, we are probably not the only ones who have such thoughts."

The Sunset Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, and what they saw was just the tip of the iceberg. Lin Xun asked, "Where is the fastest way to the top of the mountain?"

Nan Hengyi took out a map and pointed to the route marked with a red pen: "This road is the most dangerous. The threat from night ghosts is one aspect. Its terrain is also quite terrifying. The top part is almost vertical. terrain."

Lin Xun looked at the map and pondered, but Wu Que focused on the map and said in surprise: "You are even prepared for this."

Nan Hengyi: "I am your senior brother."

The implication is that the extra years are not in vain.

"What do you think about choosing this path?" Lin Xun asked Qian Jiangyue.

"I do not mind."

Seeing that he didn't make a clear statement, Lin Xun asked again: "Then which way do you think is the right way to go?"

"casual."

The slender finger pointed to the one with a gentle slope in the middle: "How about this one?"

"Too long."

Lin Xun pointed to another one.

"It's a shady slope, and there's a lot of mud on the ground."

Lin Xun said in a deep voice, "Just take the one you chose at first."

Qian Jiangyue nodded.

Wu Que whispered to Nan Heng: "This Yebai's personality is bad enough."

Nan Heng glanced at Lin Xun without any trace: "That depends on who you compare with."

Wu Que froze for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Indeed."

Compared with Lin Xun, Ye Bai's character is as good as heaven.

There were no other people in sight on the road they took up the mountain. After so many lighting festivals, it was the first time that this road was chosen.

The afterglow of the setting sun dims a little bit, and the gradually darkening sky is the most unsettling, but Lin Xun is an exception, only the dark night can make him feel like a fish in water.

Tian Fan walked in the front with his head depressed, laughing fiercely from time to time, which was very scary.

Relying on her flexibility, Wu Que climbed up the tree at intervals to observe the situation behind her and prevent someone from sneaking up on her.

"It's strange, after walking for so long, why haven't I met a night ghost."

"It's really abnormal," Nan Heng frowned. "According to the information, there should be a lot of night ghost activities on this road."

How did the two of them know that the one walking beside him was the King of Ten Thousand Ghosts, and the other was half of Kasyapa's lineage.

The Jiaye lineage is the most ferocious among the eight lines, and the night ghost is more sensitive than animals in terms of perception. Lin Xun and Qian Jiangyue's unintentional release of hostility is enough to make them retreat.

A dim light lit up in the sky.

"It's the lamp of Tianming Temple."

Under the light of the fire, half of the bloody handprints at the bottom can be seen impressively.One of the fingers has an obvious protrusion, which is the imprint left by wearing some kind of jewelry for a long time.

"Only the top [-] disciples of Tianming Temple are eligible to wear rings." It is enough to prove that this bloody handprint does not belong to the night ghost. Nan Heng shook his head: "It seems that Tianming Temple also paid a big price."

The disciples who participated in the battle were all selected by heaven, and any casualty would be a huge loss.

When they completed two-thirds of the journey, there were already many lights floating in the sky, one of which was directly illuminated, and there was only a domineering word "falling" on the lights.

Wu Que said happily: "It must be the elder brother, only he has this strength."

When going up, even Tian Fan stopped on his own initiative, facing the nearly ninety-degree vertical slope in a daze.

Nan Heng turned to look at Lin Xun: "How to get up?"

He believes that the other party has the courage to choose this path, so he must be sure.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xun just glanced at it and said, "It's beyond human power."

Nan Heng shuddered... So it means that now he has to go back the same way?

"The most powerful thing in the "Hundreds of Demons" is the formation. I think you have already experienced it." Lin Xun opened his mouth, but he said it to Wu Que.

Wu Que didn't speak, it was the default.

Lin Xun smiled, and escaped into the forest. When he reappeared, he threw down a bunch of snakes, rats, insects and ants. Everyone took a few steps back, not because they were afraid, but because these things were eating each other. It looks a little disgusting.

"Look out." Lin Xun glanced at the witch sparrow, and took off a leaf. With the sound of a small sound, the animals under his feet stopped fighting. The snake body wrapped around the mouse, and he turned his head to the moon, like a pilgrim. .The poison slowly moved to seven places, which coincided with the seven stars in the sky. At the same time, Lin Xun cast a curse on blood, and with his movements of drawing talismans in the void, a steady stream of black air radiated out, and finally formed a toad in midair. contour.

Wu Que opened her eyes wide: "This is..."

"Soul Attraction Formation," Lin Xun said in a low voice with the demeanor of a master, "Flesh and poison are used as guides, using it can help us attract night ghosts hiding in the dark."

Wu Que reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth: "I think it's not the night ghosts that will be attracted first, but the Taoist priests."

No matter how you look at this monstrous black air, it looks like a demon heretic. Anyone with a bit of observation will think that there are a lot of night ghosts passing by here.

As if responding to his thoughts, a lot of flames can be seen in the distance, and it is not difficult to see that many Taoist priests are coming. At the same time, there are dense ghosts gathering on the other side, and groups of night ghosts are attracted by the formation come.

Nan Heng yelled secretly, if the two sides collided, a large-scale battle would be inevitable.

He looked at Lin Xun, but Lin Xun looked at Qian Jiangyue, "Is there any good way?"

Qian Jiangyue said indifferently: "Go back the same way."
