Strange Tale

Three days later, Lingcheng.

Yi and Tianfeng stood on the top of the city gate, and Vulcan was guarding the bottom of the city gate.Confronting them are Long Jiu, Ye Chang, Dudu Wan and a team of people.

Tianfeng stroked his beard and opened his mouth first, "It is rumored that the Jiuying old demon appeared in the underworld and stole a soul. Now it seems to be true?"

"Yes, I went to take Si Ren away." Long Jiu replied to Tian Feng, but his eyes were fixed on Yi.

Yi looked down at himself, "So, you are here to get this body back?"

"Yes, so if you are sensible, you should leave that body quickly and return Si Ren to me."

Yi smiled, "Since you have the ability to snatch the soul from the underworld, it will not be difficult for you to get a mere mortal body. If you have the ability, come to the city to get it, and I will wait for you .”

"Hmph!" Long Jiu also laughed, "It's not difficult, you will know soon. But I don't plan to enter Spirit City again."

"Don't enter Spirit City again?" Yi frowned, "Could it be that you still wait for me to send you to the door?"

Long Jiu raised his eyebrows, "I'll give you a few hours to think about it. If you don't return Si Ren's body before dark, I will flood Lingcheng, and let all your soldiers, horses and common people be buried with you!" "

The castellan's mansion, the garden gazebo.

Concubine Mi poured tea for Tianfeng and Yi, "Will he really flood Lingcheng?"

"Of course." Tianfeng picked up the teacup and smelled it, "It's not like he hasn't done it before. But it's not Lingcheng."

"Why doesn't he set fire to Lingcheng?" Huoshenzi kicked a stone with one foot and jumped up and down on the ground outside the gazebo.

Tianfeng took a sip of tea, "I've seen how powerful you are, and he's on guard against you. With you here, Jiuying won't use fire anymore."

Vulcan stopped, "Then what should we do now? Even if I use all my strength to release all the fire, I still can't burn out the water that can flood the city."

Tianfeng waved to Huoshenzi, and Vulcanzi ran to his side.He smiled and raised his hand to touch Huoshenzi's head, "You don't need to do it this time."

Vulcan leaned into Tianfeng's arms, "What should Master do?"

Tianfeng held Huoshenzi in one hand and stroked his beard with the other, with a calm but confident smile on his face, "The closest to Lingcheng are Yancheng and Buguicheng, and the terrain of those two cities is lower. I heard that Si Ren was in On the way back to Dushuo City, I had calculated that there would be floods, and I had arranged for a Qingniujing named Dazi to block the water, so I didn’t have to worry about not returning to the city. In this way, when Jiuying called the flood, I would block it, and the water would naturally come first. Flow to Yancheng."

"What about the people in Yancheng?" Vulcan asked.

"Jiuying is dominating Yancheng now, he will stop in time."

"Then what if he doesn't accept it?"

"Impossible, I have already visited this morning. I often only brought three thousand soldiers and horses, and Jiuying's large army is still stationed in Yancheng. How could he let the water flood Yancheng?"

"Oh, so that's the case. Master is amazing!"

……

Tianfeng and Huoshenzi chatted happily, but Yi sat beside him without saying a word.Concubine Mi looked at him several times, but hesitated to speak several times.

three days ago.

Long Jiu took Si Ren's soul back to Yangjian smoothly, but instead of going to Lingcheng, he returned to Yancheng first.

When he came to the stone workshop outside the Buji Hall, Long Jiu took out a small cloth bag that he always carried with him. After opening it carefully, he found a stone inside.He held the stone in one hand and touched a stone pillar on the stone square with the other.

show up.Long Jiu thought silently: You are the stone demon who went to the general's mansion to help Si Rendao revive his soul, right?

After a while, the stone demon responded: General Long has been away from Yancheng for a while, right?Why didn't you go back to the general's mansion first when you came back, but came to find me instead?

Don't you ask where Si Ren went?

He was killed by you, and then you went to the underworld to chase his soul back.

how do you know? !

This matter has spread throughout the three worlds.

……

How do you know that I was the one who went to the General's Mansion?

Long Jiuhuang shook the stone in his hand: This was stuck in our fortune-telling tortoise shell. It is easy to find you with this.Carry it with you all the time, just when you think it might be useful.

What is the general looking for from me?

There will be floods in Yancheng in three days, I want you to help me block the water.

OK, I'll do my best.

Don't you ask me why I have floods?

Do not ask.

Seeing the sky is getting dark.Tianfeng and Huoshenzi went to the tower first to set up formation.

Yi sat there without moving, drinking tea one cup after another.

Concubine Mi saw that there was no one else around, she wanted to speak and didn't know how to speak, she lowered her head and hesitated for a long time.

"It's been two or three days." Yi suddenly said, "You've been hesitating. Do you have something to tell me?"

"Ah?" Concubine Mi raised her head and was stunned for a moment, "Well... I'm a little puzzled."

"what?"

"Husband... When I heard that Long Jiu had escaped, didn't you feel anything strange at all?"

"Strange? What's so strange? You let him go."

Concubine Mi was taken aback, "You know?!"

Yi drank his tea unhurriedly, "Of course I know."

"How do you know?!"

"It's very simple. The only person in this world who can destroy God is Uncle Yan. Now the son of Vulcan is closest to you besides the master. The master has no reason to let him go, and he himself will not do that. You are the only one left. "

Concubine Mi bit her lips, "You don't blame me?"

Yi shook his head, "No blame. I've always been the one who feels sorry for you, and I won't blame you for anything you do."

Concubine Mi's eyes were red, "Your words... are enough. So what are you going to do now?"

"Defend the spirit city first."

"Are you sure?"

"No."

Concubine Mi frowned, "No? How can you be unsure with your father around?"

"Master underestimated Long Jiu."

Thinking about it, Concubine Mi leaned closer to Yi and leaned on his shoulder cautiously, "How about... why don't you return your body to him?"

Yi turned to look at her, "Then I will go back to Guanghan Palace with you?"

Concubine Mi grabbed Yi's arm and nodded, "Isn't that good? Stay away from worldly disputes, I thought you always wanted that kind of life."

Yi smiled and patted her hand, "You think things too simply."

It was very dark.

Yi, who had changed into a battle armor, appeared on the tower.Long Jiu, who was still in commoner clothes, was already waiting.

"Have you figured it out?!" Long Jiu shouted to Yi.

"Think it over, if you have the ability, you can go to the city and snatch Si Ren's body back!"

"Okay, just don't regret it for a while in the city of Shuiman Ling!"

"Water Man Spirit City? Do you think you are the White Lady?!"

"Hmph, Lady Bai can't take away Xu Xian, but I can definitely take away Si Ren!"

"Hmph, arrogant!"

"Arrogance? Better than hypocrisy!"

"When have I been hypocritical?!"

"It's hypocritical now!"

……

While Yi and Long Jiu were talking, Tianfeng and Dudu Wan began to perform tricks.

Inside and outside Lingcheng, there was a strong wind, flying sand and rocks, and then the torrential rain poured down.But after a while, the rain stopped soon.Then it was windy and rainy again.Then stop again...

After repeating this more than a dozen times, Long Jiu saw that this was not the way to go, so he stopped arguing with Yi and joined Dudu Wan to summon a few flying dragons, entrenched in the air and spit water towards Lingcheng.

Huoshenzi looked at the sky in surprise, "Master, Jiuying can control the dragon?!"

Tianfeng squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, "I thought he was going to divert water to attack the city, but I didn't expect this trick. It's not a dragon, it's an illusion formed by the water flow. Jiuying just attracted the water from the nearby river."

"Then what should we do now? If all these 'dragons' flow in, Spirit City will be flooded!"

"Don't worry, let's see how the master can break his illusion."

After Tianfeng chanted, there were several long howls in the air, and a pair of fire phoenixes flew from the sky and rushed towards the water dragon.

The water dragon couldn't dodge and was scattered by the phoenix.The phoenix flew over, the water flow regrouped, and the water dragon became smaller.Phoenix bumped into the water dragon several times, and the water dragon became smaller and smaller, and the flames on Phoenix's body were gradually extinguished.

Dragon Nine kept attracting more water, and the number of water dragons in the sky increased from a few to a dozen.When the flame on the phoenix is ​​about to go out, it will suddenly burn again, reborn from the ashes, and burn a bigger flame.

For a moment, dragons and phoenixes danced in the sky above Lingcheng, and water and fire blended together.

Tianfeng seems to be able to handle two with one against two.

"This old thief is really capable." Long Jiu scolded and turned around to look, "Lead troops to attack the city immediately! Open the city gate!"

Spirit City is also known as Immortal City, and many of the people in the city are reincarnated ancient immortals or gods who lived in exile.There are also some alchemists who have practiced for many years.Ordinary monsters will not enter the spirit city unless they are forced to do so.Long Jiu would try to take a detour when passing by here before.

Now that Spirit City is in trouble, those who help defend the city are naturally not ordinary people.Long Jiu had already made arrangements: no guns, only a small number of troops and no harm to the souls.

They often send out a group of infantry to ram the city gate with rams in the most primitive way.But in the city, some gods summoned ghosts to block the road, and the door couldn't be opened no matter how hard it hit.On the top of the city tower, the defenders of Lingcheng were shooting, and those who hit the door fell down one after another, and they often immediately sent people to replenish them, and at the same time released a batch of living souls attached to the paper.

The living souls crawled in through the cracks in the door, and after some were collected, most of them scattered around and quickly defeated the defense inside the door.The gate of the city was opened, and Long Jiu ordered to fight without injury.The gun team on the tower continued to shoot, and no one was injured or injured.Vulcan couldn't hold back his breath, he raised his hand and let out the Samadhi True Fire.

"Stop!" Tianfeng shouted, it was too late.

The entire team of uninjured troops instantly turned into a "army of fire".The Samadhi True Fire can't be extinguished by pouring water, and if there is no injury, the dead will not be afraid of fire.So the uninjured army with raging flames rushed directly to the wide open city gate without any cover or hindrance.

Yi asked people to bring a bow and arrow and shoot several arrows in a row. Although Wushang who was shot fell to the ground in response, the speed of firing arrows was limited after all, and there were too many Wushangs. In the end, Yi shot four arrows with five fingers at a time, but still failed. Block the Innocent Legion from entering the city.

Tianfeng is still fighting with Dududiwan, and the storm still comes and goes.The fire phoenix burned again and again, and the water dragons gathered more and more.Long Jiu appeared in the shape of a monster and punched the ground, and the water in all the wells in Lingcheng gushed out at the same time.Lingcheng fell into dire straits, and Xiancheng instantly turned into a city of hell.

Seeing that the time has come, Long Jiufei got on the tower.

Yi drew his bow and arrow and pointed it between his eyebrows, "Are you crazy?! You actually sent troops to destroy the city for a mortal who should have nothing to do with you!"

Long Jiu's hair and eyes turned back to black, and his tone was calm and indifferent, "I said that I must save Si Ren. Besides, I might not do this in other cities. But Lingcheng is different. There are so many gods in the city. People, they can protect themselves and save others. But if you don't leave Si Ren's body, I can't guarantee whether you can control the water and fire in the city."

Bang ─ ─ Yi threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the ground, "Give me one night, and you will get your wish before dawn."
