Chapter 55: Full of Loyalty
Chapter 55: Full of Loyalty
Outside the Demon Realm, horses were galloping and the knights on horseback were throwing out large flags.
One after another, large flags made a clattering sound as they were inserted into the ground. The flags were spread out with dragon patterns fluttering in the wind.
There are strange characters written around the pattern, which is a combination of talismans and seal characters.
There is such a flag every hundred steps.
After all the flags were raised, the knights turned their horses around and galloped towards the camp in the distance.
The camp was newly built near the provincial road. The three offices of Xinxiang Province, the Provincial Administration Office, the Criminal Investigation Office, the Military Command Office, and the Xinxiang Governor were all in the camp, gazing at this devilish realm from afar.
With an order, large flags were lit up, and a golden dragon was seen extending its sharp claws from the flags, struggling to climb out, hooking its claws on the red curtain and climbing upwards.
After a while, the golden dragons in all the flags crawled out completely and crawled on the red curtain.
Large flags were fluttering, with blazing golden light emitting from the flags and injected into the body of the golden dragon, maintaining the dragon shape.
"The Heavenly Dragon Locking Demon Formation can last for a hundred days. After a hundred days, under the watchful eyes of the True God, the Demon Realm will be completely wiped out and will not endanger the people outside."
Xinxiang Governor Zhao Tianbao sighed and said, "My nephew Zhao Yanlong heard that a demonic change had occurred in Qianyang Mountain, so he led 4,000 elite soldiers from Xuanying Mansion, including his offspring, and rushed into the Demonic Realm in an attempt to stop the demonic change. Silly boy, what a silly boy!"
He shook his head repeatedly, tears streaming down his face, and looked up to the sky and said, "You are worthy of being a descendant of the Zhao family. You have not disgraced our ancestors!"
The officials of the Chief Secretary, the Censorate and the District Commissioner were so moved that they shed tears.
"Xuan Ying Mansion's ideology, Bo Yuntian, is a role model for our generation and is worthy of our learning."
"Knowing that he would die, he still did not look back. What kind of spirit is this? I will record this incident in history and pass it on to future generations, so that people in the future will not forget the righteous act of the Xuanying Palace Master today!"
Someone cried, "Xuanying Mansion is full of loyal and brave people——"
……
Xinxiang Governor Zhao Tianbao also shed tears, and finally stopped crying. He urged everyone to mourn and said, "Yanlong is worthy of being a man of our Zhao family. He is brave enough to sacrifice and contribute, and has not brought disgrace to our Zhao family. I propose that after a hundred days, we hold a sacrifice here to commemorate Yanlong and the Zhao family members of Xuanying Mansion. What do you think?"
"Governor, your opinion is great!"
"In my opinion, we need to submit a letter to the cabinet to explain the sacrifices made by the Zhao family in fighting the demons, and set an example for all civil and military officials. I am a student of Lord Yan, and I will submit a letter to report this matter. I think the court will soon commend and even reward me."
Everyone had made up their mind and left with peace of mind.
The third day of demonization.
Chen Shi looked into the distance and heard thunder coming from the mountains, with flames exploding from time to time.
In the forest, there was a huge porcelain Bodhisattva with eight arms dancing. Suddenly, he held a Vajra Pestle in his hand and stabbed it heavily into the ground. Suddenly, a blazing devil fire burst out from the whole mountain, burning everything!
The devil fire was spinning with a terrifying sound. The crackling sound could be heard from far away. It was the explosion caused by the rapid expansion of the air.
That's the direction of the kiln factory.
I just don't know who is fighting against the evil Bodhisattva.
"The man who fought against the evil Bodhisattva has persisted for three days."
Li Tianqing looked worried and said to Chen Shi, "My grandfather and your grandfather are probably there. They are both very old. I wonder if they can still hold on."
Chen Shi was also extremely worried and asked, "Do you think the government will send someone to rescue us?"
Li Tianqing had never encountered such a thing before, and guessed: "Xinxiang Province will probably send people to rescue us. After all, the people within a hundred miles are all citizens of Xinxiang Province. If Xinxiang Province does not rescue us, the elders of the cabinet will definitely punish us."
The two men left the village and continued hunting. When they passed a village, they saw a caravan parked on the road. There were thirty or forty people, as well as cattle and horses, and old people and children sitting in the cars.
They were preparing to leave this devilish land, but after leaving the village, they all turned into porcelain before they had gone far.
The two men moved these to the side of the road to avoid them from being bumped into.
If the devil is destroyed in the future, maybe they can recover.
There were still some people on the road, scattered here and there, they must have been hiding in the village before, protected by their godmothers, and did not go out, so they were not porcelainized. It was just that they had been hungry for three consecutive days and could only drink water, so they had no choice but to come out and look for some food.
Common game such as rabbits, wild boars and pheasants have turned into porcelain, and Xinxiang rats are one of the few foods they can find.
The Xinxiang rat is a strange animal that has been porcelainized for a long time. These strange animals have also been affected by porcelainization, and their movements are slow, making them easier to catch.
However, these people are also slow, and it is still unknown whether they can catch the Xinxiang rats.
"If you are not sure you can survive, find a safe place to lie down. Wait until the demon is killed, then you may be able to survive." Chen Shi said to those people.
He is very kind.
After all, these people were the villagers whom he usually oppressed. If they all died out, and he passed the imperial examination and became an official, who could he oppress?
Seeing this, Li Tianqing followed suit and advised those people to find a safe place to lie down and wait for death.
The two came back from hunting, and this time the harvest was much better than yesterday. They caught more than a dozen Xinxiang mice that couldn't run away. With just these mice, the villagers of Huangpo Village could eat for more than ten days.
The two men walked back, dragging the rat's tail. Li Tianqing looked at the black pot running happily in front of him, and suddenly his heart moved. He whispered, "Xiao Shi, all the beasts outside have been porcelainized, turned into porcelain, even the Xinxiang rat can't run anymore, why is the black pot not affected at all?"
Chen Shi's heart moved slightly. He looked at the dog in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Do you also suspect that there is something wrong with it?"
Li Tianqing nodded: "Exotic beasts are affected, so it's impossible for an ordinary black dog not to be affected."
"My grandfather and I also suspect there's something wrong with it!"
Chen Shi whispered, "It's just that we can't find any evidence of it."
The dog in front suddenly became a little listless, walking very slowly, almost like those Xinxiang mice that couldn't run.
"It heard us and disguised itself like this!"
Li Tianqing said in horror, "There must be something wrong with it!"
Hei Guo turned around, wagging his big tail and purring, and came to Li Tianqing with a shameless face, rubbing his head against his leg affectionately.
The two teenagers laughed out loud.
At this moment, Chen Shi suddenly had an idea: "I haven't seen grandpa for several days."
He felt a little uneasy because his grandfather was old and if something unexpected happened...
At this moment, his grandfather's voice came from behind him, calling out, "Xiao Shi."
"Grandpa!" Chen Shi was surprised and happy, and turned back quickly.
Just as he turned his head, it seemed as if a pair of invisible hands suddenly grabbed his neck.
Evil, broken first dish!
It specially breaks the heads of people who look back.
Chen Shi was confused, and had not expected that there was an evil being following them.
This kind of evil follows certain rules.
As long as you follow the rules, nothing will happen even if you just walk past it or even slap it twice.
But if you break the rules, you will die miserably!
Chen Shi knew that something was wrong, and immediately stimulated his qi and blood. He had cultivated a holy body, and the qi and blood in his body were extremely vigorous. Even a master in the Golden Core Realm was not as vigorous as him!
His energy and blood concentrated in his neck, and suddenly his neck became as thick as his head.
The neck was still expanding, and soon it was several times thicker than the head!
The evil hand grabbed his neck and was about to break it, but the next moment Chen Shi's neck became too thick to hold.
Li Tianqing and Hei Guo also noticed that something was wrong with him. They saw Chen Shi's neck swell up like air, and then something seemed to pinch his neck, pulling him up from the ground and into the air more than ten feet high!
"Do not look back!"
Chen Shi still shouted, "There is an evil following us, if we turn back we will die!"
Li Tianqing was horrified and immediately activated the divine fetus in the shrine. The six yin jade wheels came out and headed towards Chen Shi's back.
However, the evil spirit was invisible and intangible, as if it did not exist. When the jade wheel passed through it, it was no different from cutting through the air.
The jade wheel flew up and down around Chen Shi, but still couldn't touch the evil creature at all.
Li Tianqing became more and more anxious, and Chen Shi also realized that Zhe Shoucai was exerting force. This evil beast was incredibly strong and actually strangled his neck and tried to stretch it upwards!
Just like stretching noodles, he tried to stretch his neck!
"You want to kill me...dream on! I don't have a neck!"
Chen Shi didn't care and used all his strength to mobilize his blood and concentrate it on his neck.
Zheshoucai stretched for a while but couldn't stretch out Chen Shi's neck, so he threw him to the ground and turned into a gust of cold wind and whistled away.
In the gloomy wind, it seemed like something was cursing, saying incomprehensible dirty words.
Chen Shi gasped for breath and touched his neck, still feeling frightened.
Li Tianqing was both shocked and horrified. He broke Chen Shi's neck but failed!
"I heard grandpa calling my name!" Li Tianqing said suddenly.
Chen Shi hurriedly said, "Don't look back, it must be that evil spirit that has returned! If you look back, your head will be broken! This evil spirit can detect your thoughts and create the voices of people close to you in your mind! Let's go!"
The two men and the dog were dragging a dozen Xinxiang rats as they walked forward. They soon turned a hillside and disappeared from Li Jindou's sight.
Li Jindou coughed up blood, supported himself on the ground with his arms, and struggled to crawl forward. His voice was hoarse, and he called Li Tianqing several times.
"You bastard..."
Li Jindou's arms were so weak that he tumbled and rolled into the gutter, lying on his back, gasping for breath, unable to move.
The battle was defeated.
He thought weakly.
After three days of hard fighting, Grandma Sha, Xiao Wangsun, Jin Hongying, and he were still defeated!
The four of them besieged the evil Bodhisattva and killed two kiln workers. Then the evil Bodhisattva noticed their purpose and opened his mouth, sending the last kiln worker into his hollow stomach.
The kiln worker crawled around in its belly, repairing the cracks in its body.
Although they broke the body of the evil Bodhisattva many times, they were still unable to capture it because of the kiln worker.
The evil Bodhisattva has eight arms and holds eight weapons, namely, two beads of the sun and the moon, a gold brick, a soul-shaking bell, a demon-subduing pestle, a banana fan, a bow and arrows. Although they are made of porcelain, they are refined into weapons and are covered with talismans and secret spells, making them extremely powerful.
Fortunately, Granny Sha was holding the sheep-horn sky-spirit lantern, which restrained the Soul-shaking Bell and the Demon-subduing Pestle and suppressed the evil spirit, so they were able to hold out for so long.
However, three of the four of them were injured, and Li Jindou's calves were both broken. As a result, on the third day of the battle, the old injuries of the three of them relapsed and the battle formation collapsed.
The four were severely injured by the evil Bodhisattva and almost died of exhaustion.
Granny Sha and Xiao Wangsun were the last ones to leave, while Li Jindou and Jin Hongying went ahead. As a result, when Li Jindou escaped to this place, he saw his virtuous grandson and Chen Shi in front of him. He could not help but be overjoyed and called out his virtuous grandson's name, which resulted in the two of them running even faster.
"The evil Bodhisattva is too fierce. Even if he is not injured, I am far from being his opponent."
Li Jindou coughed up blood and lay in the ditch. His eyes gradually dimmed and he whispered, "Mr. Qianyang, where are you and why don't you take action? If you don't take action, everyone in the Demon Realm will die..."
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and four exotic horses pulling a carriage were speeding towards this side.
The carriage stopped, Xiao Wangsun lifted the pearl curtain, glanced sideways into the ditch, and said calmly: "Are you still breathing? If you are, come up."
A glimmer of spirit returned to Li Jindou's eyes. He supported himself on the ground with his two scarred arms and struggled to climb up. When he couldn't climb any further, he pulled the grass and pulled himself up with all his strength.
After a while, he finally crawled to the road and then climbed into the car with great difficulty.
The chariot moved forward.
Li Jindou looked at Xiao Wangsun, and saw that his clothes, which were tattered in the previous battle, were gone. Instead, he was wearing a new set of clothes, which was very decent. He must have changed them before coming to pick him up.
"You're not hurt?" Li Jindou asked, quite dissatisfied.
Xiao Wangsun's face was calm, and he still had an extraordinary demeanor. He said, "I'm injured."
Li Jindou was even more dissatisfied: "Why aren't you as embarrassed as me? Your injuries are definitely not as serious as mine!"
Xiao Wangsun was as graceful as usual. He took out a white handkerchief and covered his mouth with it. He coughed softly and said, "I have been taught all kinds of etiquette since I was young. Even if I was injured, I would not show it. Even if I died, I would be dignified, not like you. Don't talk, and recover. I will take you to see Master Chen."
