Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 5
[Chapter 5]
Suddenly, Lin Chengyou said, “Stop.” The
steward’s wife asked, tremblingly, “What else do you want to tell the prince?” “How many
people are injured in the room?”
“Four, four, no, plus General Teng’s manservant, there are a total of It’s five.”
“Four women and one man?”
“Yes, yes.”
“All of them lost their minds?” The
steward lady had a faint hope in her heart, and stammered: “The four of them are probably awake, only the second of my family. My mother has not yet been saved, and the medicine given by the eldest son was not enough. The last one was taken by the little lady of the Teng family to feed her servant. If the eldest son still has medicine, can you give my second mother another pill? The prince’s brilliant Taoism, I just want to be able to diagnose Erniang.”
As he spoke, those strange flower branches emerged from the ground again, twice as many as before, causing a sea of flowers several feet high.
How could the lady in charge dare to stay any longer, and even rolled and crawled to escape into the house.
Lin Chengyou took off the quiver from his waist and shot an arrow toward the sky.
The golden dysprosium flew into the air and exploded in a flash, turning into a rain of countless arrows, scattered around.
If this thing has spirituality, when it sticks to an evil object, it will burst out sparks, wandering like a fire dragon, and swiftly like lightning.
Mrs. Anguo’s smile began to freeze, Lin Chengyou took out another arrow from the quiver, and said with a smile, “I’m sorry, I hurt your children and grandchildren.”
Having said that, he acted ruthlessly and shot an arrow. Shoot it out and burn most of the remaining flower vines.
Mrs. Anguo was bound by the iron chain and could not move. Seeing that Lin Chengyou was about to kill him, he suddenly made up his mind and bit the tip of his tongue.
She was so afraid of pain, she frowned as soon as she bit down, snorted constantly, and her body trembled slightly.
Lin Chengyou clicked his tongue: “This is the first time I have seen such a contrived monster.”
He shot the third arrow to the sky, and flew up to the side beam.
Mrs. Anguo lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, chanting words in her mouth, black blood overflowing from the corners of her mouth, and a little bit of the talisman paper on her mouth penetrated.
The talisman paper was firmly attached, but it was no match for the repeated erosion of blood and water.
Lin Chengyou pretended not to notice, and flew around the courtyard. After the rivets in his hand were nailed to the position one by one, he fell back to the ground and slapped the talisman on Mrs. Anguo’s forehead.
Mrs. Anguo’s soul was beaten to pieces, and a painful moan burst out from her teeth. The ground stopped moving, and the tumbling nebula returned to its original position.
Lin Chengyou tore off the blood-stained waste talisman and threw it aside: “Your Excellency, please delay your time.”
Mrs. Anguo opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes like a poisoned arrow.
Lin Chengyou walked around her for two steps: “My talisman paper is painted with the decree of the Yellow God transcending the rules, using the Jade Emperor’s mind, ordinary monsters stained with this talisman paper, even if they don’t show their original shape, they will be knocked out of the original body. , you are not only painless, but you can also attract wind and thunder in my formation.”
Mrs. Anguo sneered, still full of hostility.
“Obviously he has the ability to reach the sky, but he has repeatedly shown his ugliness, either recruiting some shrimp, soldiers and crabs to fight in the future, or using some low-level magic.” Lin Chengyou stopped and looked at the monster playfully, “What are you waiting for?”
Mrs. Anguo’s eyes flickered. , I can’t hold my anger anymore.
Lin Chengyou restrained his smile, raised his hand and gave a high five.
A large number of servants poured in from outside, all of them were well-trained. They were startled when they saw the monster, and immediately calmed down.
“Prince.”
“Have Jue Sheng and Qizhi come here?” The
guards brought the two children and approached: “Here, the two little priests are watching the Hu people play by the river.”
These are a pair of white and fat twins, wearing the same robes and mans shoes, about ten years old, as round as wooden barrels, one is called “Juesheng” and the other is called “Abandoning Wisdom” (Note 1) .
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi held a few bunches of fried prawns and kicked their legs in the air: “Let us down, we’re looking for senior brother.”
Suddenly they glanced at Mrs. Anguo and rubbed their eyes in surprise: “This, this Yes?”
“Are you full?” Lin Chengyou said with a smile.
Juesheng and Qizhi hurriedly hid Zhiming shrimp behind them, and said with a smile, “Senior brother.” The
master went to travel around the world, and there was no one in sight these few days. It happened to be the Shangsi Festival. I planned to go back and watch before the child, but I was discovered by the people around my brother.
“Would you like to bring some more meat to you?”
“No, no, no need.” The two of them shook their heads like a rattle.
“Is it enough to eat a few strings of fried shrimp?” The
two of them nodded, “I’m full, I’m really full.”
Lin Chengyou threw the chain into Juesheng’s hands, and said cheerfully, “Just work when you’re full.”
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were stunned, is this just revealed?
“This monster is very good. Zhentanmu can last for half an hour at most. One of you guards Kan Palace and Gan Palace, and the other guards Gen Palace and Zhen Palace. You can’t run away if you don’t get distracted.
” Tears, I know that it is not so good, senior brother is going to set up a Wuzang formation.
Humans have five treasures, and each has its own god. If you are possessed by evil spirits, your soul will be shaken out of your body immediately.
If it is an ordinary evil, a talisman can knock it out of the host’s body, and those who can use the Wuzang Formation are often no-nonsense monsters.
This formation has extremely high requirements on the skill of the main formation. Although they are only the boys who guard the formation, but because they will absorb the foul smell of the monsters in the formation, they are not allowed to eat meat and fish for a year.
One year…
the two of them looked at Lin Chengyou’s back with tears in their eyes, the senior brother was so cruel, it wasn’t enough to punish them this time, and even their chance to steal food in the future was completely cut off.
Lin Chengyou took out an arrow and sighed: “Wronged? Or afraid? Do you think that senior brother treats you well enough?”
Juesheng and Qizhi hurriedly raised their chests: “Neither wronged nor afraid! Senior brother treats us the best. , Brother Tianzong is a genius, as long as Brother is here, there is no demon that cannot be subdued.” The
two wiped the corners of their mouths and ran towards the formation.
Only then did Lin Chengyou regain his composure, turned his head and asked the guard, “Have you found someone from Duke Anguo’s mansion?”
“Prince Anguo received the post a few days ago, but he politely declined because he was sick, and he hadn’t heard of the woman’s family coming to the banquet beforehand. I don’t know where this ‘Mrs. Anguo Gong’ came from, but I have already sent someone to inform the Anguo Gong’s residence.” That’s
true. Lin Chengyou asked again, “Is Uncle Huang outside?”
“The Duke of Chun’an is still in front of him, and the guests are eager to leave. Fortunately, His Royal Highness is in charge of the overall situation. It is the people from the Duke of Zhenguo who are here.”
“Zhenguo Gongfu?”
“General Duan Xiaojun from the Zhenguo Gongfu has been engaged with General Teng’s daughter since childhood. Tonight, the Duan family happened to be in Ziyunlou. I heard that something happened to the Teng family, so General Duan Xiaobian and Yongan Mrs. Hou has come to take care of you.”
Lin Chengyou thought for a while before realizing who General Teng’s daughter was. He casually looked at the porch on the west side, just in time to see Teng Yuyi and Eunuch Wen drag the manservant to the back room together. The so-called The last pill is estimated to have been delivered to the servant’s stomach.
No wonder the lady in charge was screaming at him.
“Move them all to other places, close Lanxia Pavilion, and don’t allow anyone to approach.”
The servants were stunned, the prince thought that those people were in the way, but this place was originally a lot of misfortunes, and it should have been arranged like this.
“Yes, the villain is going to cook.”
Juesheng and Qizhi occupy the fourth palace respectively, biting their fingertips and smearing blood on the altar wood in their hands: “Senior brother, what is the origin of this monster, and how many people have been hurt tonight?”
Lin Chengyou took out the talisman paper and put it on his fingertips . Ignite, the flame jumped, illuminating his black eyes like jewels.
“It ambushed four women and one man by the river, which coincides with the number of Ziwei. I guess the host spirit in its body is about to dissipate, and it urgently needs to absorb new souls to nourish Wuzang.”
Qizhi was a little puzzled: “Senior brother, it turns out that The host is not good anymore, it’s okay to change the host, why bother to find five new spirits?”
Lin Chengyou looked at Fu Zhi without saying a word, as if he was lost in thought.
Qizhi and Juesheng glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts, Senior Brother, do you think something is wrong?
Lin Chengyou buried the talisman on the arrowhead, pointed at the iron horse under the eaves of the courtyard without saying a word, then pulled the bowstring and fired four arrows one after another, all of which hit all four directions.
Juesheng slapped his forehead and said, “I know, Master said that the monsters also have a love for beauty. This lady is so beautiful, the monsters must be reluctant to bear this skin. Brother, I guess right.”
Lin Chengyou He took the fifth arrow, but still didn’t answer, the golden arrow left the string and shot straight at Mrs. Anguo’s eyebrows.
Mrs. An Guogong watched the arrow approaching, her expression gradually changed from sarcasm to charming, before she could shoot the arrow before her eyes, she actually pulled the iron chain to the ground: “You have given birth to a good appearance, but you have no heart. Man, with such a face, do you really have the heart to do it?”
Unexpectedly, Juesheng was pulled to the ground by this force, and immediately wanted to take back the chain, but his strength was no match, and he was forced dragged out.
Juesheng and Qizhi were shocked: “Senior brother! Isn’t the monster trapped by the soul lock? Why do you say that if you break the formation, you will break the formation?”
Mrs. Anguo volleyed up, and her body circled and climbed like a gust of wind, and the iron chains were clinking. , wrapping around her from bottom to top.
“With this noodle-like worm, An Neng can trap me?”
She squeezed the iron chain made of insects on her body, and with a little force, the chain made a squeaking sound, and then shook the towel, The soft snow-white lingering seemed to have turned into a silver snake, going like a meteor, and suddenly wrapped around the Absolute Saint.
“Your senior brother should find more little dolls like you. The white and fat one just happened to give me a tooth sacrifice.”
This monster moved faster than the wind, and Jue Sheng was caught in the air by surprise. , but it was of no use. Seeing Mrs. Anguo’s blood-red lips open at him, he waved his fat arms and shouted like a pig: “Senior brother!” The
sky above the yard suddenly dazzled with golden light, and Mrs. Anguo pierced her eyes. The strength in his hand decreased slightly, and Jue Sheng took advantage of the situation to cut off the towel with the small sword in his arms, and fell straight to the ground.
He rolled on the spot, crying and crawling back to his original position.
It was too late to arrest people, Mrs. Anguo looked up and saw that the four arrows shot by Lin Chengyou were connected to each other to form a golden net, which covered her head like a curtain.
She groaned inwardly, the headwind swept up, but the net didn’t know what method was hidden, and the closer it got, the hotter it became.
In an instant, the black hair on the top of her head was scorched in a small tuft.
She secretly said that it was not good. The skin of the lady she was attached to was delicate and tender, and she should not be destroyed in the slightest.
This kid is even worse than she thought, so she must have made this arrangement in advance after knowing this.
Mrs. An Guogong felt resentment in her heart, her shoulders were short and she was about to fall back to the ground, when she suddenly felt the hot wind blowing from the back of her neck, and Lin Chengyou attacked her on the back.
There was a magic weapon on it, followed by chasing soldiers. Mrs. Anguo couldn’t dodge in time, her fingernails suddenly swelled several inches, and she quickly cut her palm.
Blood beads overflowed from her fingers, and instantly dyed the soul lock red.
She chanted the incantation, raised her hand and threw the chain at Lin Chengyou.
This soul lock has no spiritual roots. It takes thousands of years to cultivate into a low-level animal spirit. Although it can lock the souls of most evil spirits, it will also be bewitched when it encounters monsters with high mana. Lin Chengyou knows this very well. What kind of virtue, so he never dared to loosen the chain.
“Iron Chain” was forced to eat the blood of the demon, and it was like falling into a fog. He couldn’t tell who the young man behind him was.
Lin Chengyou squinted his eyes, grabbed the Soul Locker, and scolded, “Beast, see who I am!”
It was the gate of life that was pinched, and the Soul Locker was instantly beaten back to its original shape, conscious of being faceless. It turned into a little golden snake and slid into Lin Chengyou’s front.
Mrs. An Guogong smiled again and again, took this opportunity to swerve to the left, brushed Lin Chengyou’s side, and flew straight down the corridor.
Who would have thought that Lin Chengyou could do two things with one heart, the wind of the palm suddenly came, and he slapped her on the shoulder: “I want to go now? I haven’t had enough fun.”
Mrs. Anguo was shocked, there was a golden net on her head, With no insects to draw on, she had nowhere to escape, so she had to take this palm.
There was contempt in her heart, Lin Chengyou was young and from a rich and noble background, how could there be any Taoist cultivation, he only knew how to play some tricks with brilliant magic tools.
Lin Chengyou’s plan was only due to her previous carelessness. She pretended to rest in the formation for a while, and her skill had recovered by 50 to 60%, even if she was slapped by him, she would be fine.
“What can I do with the little trick of carving insects?” She waved her towel, and her body was like water. As soon as Lin Chengyou finished using those useless talismans, she would pull him to her. How could she expect that the palm of the wind had the power of pure Yang, Chopping waves and waves were aggressive and penetrated into the heart of her body at once.
Her eyes were wide open, her body was chaotic like a surging heat wave, her internal strength seemed to have been siphoned off in half, and her internal organs were about to shift.
She forcibly wanted to keep her Primordial Spirit, but it was too late, and her whole body was jolted, and more than half of her Primordial Spirit was beaten out.
“Even though it’s a small trick, it’s enough to deal with you.” Lin Chengyou sneered.
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi looked up at the monster, and saw a black shadow cast out of the woman’s body, full of white hair, and a short stature.
“So, so it really looks like this.”
“It’s so old, even older than the master.” The
shadow turned into anger and raised his arms to cover his face. Juesheng and Qizhi were stunned, only to realize that the body of the monster was actually small. right paw.
Earlier, I heard that the guards picked up a broken claw in the forest. It must be this monster. It can be seen that there were experts present at the time, otherwise how could the monster suffer such a big loss.
Juesheng and Qizhi couldn’t ignore the surprise, and hurriedly urged Zhentanmu, the main body had been beaten out, and it was a good time to regain the flesh.
The monster was eager to escape back into the host’s body, enduring the pain of ripped flesh, forcing a circle of black mist from its body.
The mist was like smoke, and it protected the monster’s body in the blink of an eye. Not only that, but it also quickly spread to Lin Chengyou who was behind.
“It’s suffocating!” Jue Sheng and Qizhi teachers and students shouted in unison, “Senior brother be careful!”
The suffocating energy released by this old demon who has cultivated for more than a hundred years will greatly damage his vitality.
The monster took this opportunity to take back Mrs. Anguo’s body, but at this moment, Lin Chengyou ignited a paper talisman at his fingertips and sealed the Fengchi hole of Mrs. Anguo first.
The host Linggen was sealed, and he could no longer find a way to escape. Missing such a beautiful body, the monster was so angry that he was half dead. He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and said sternly: “Arrogant child, I will kill you now!”
Lin Chengyou laughed loudly . Said: “It’s just you?” After turning a somersault, he dragged Mrs. Anguo and swept it out of the courtyard.
Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom were greatly encouraged, and the senior brother was really good at taking back the body of the host, and the next thing was much easier.
The guard at the door just happened to bring a group of palace servants carrying cages. Lin Chengyou threw the lost Mrs. Anguo: “This monster is extremely difficult to deal with. Quickly move the injured to one place.”
The monster glared angrily at a pair of slender dark green eyes, it was already mad with hatred, although one claw was missing, the other claw could be stretched freely, its beak made a strange whistling sound, and before Lin Chengyou could turn around, it was vicious. Grab his back.
“Senior brother, be careful!”
Lin Chengyou’s quiver had completely used up all the Jin Yings. When he sensed the wind and hunting behind him, he did not dodge.
Guessing that the monster was approaching, he leaned back towards the sky, spread out his arms and rode the night wind, and slid back into the courtyard leisurely.
The black mist on the monster’s body all dissipated, revealing its true colors.
It is not low on the Tao, and has already cultivated a human form. At first glance, it looks no different from an ordinary old woman, except that its neck and arms are covered with brown bark, and the corners of its mouth and forehead are covered with wrinkles, as if it has been eroded by centuries of wind and frost.
When it pounced on Lin Chengyou, the sparse silver hair floated up and down in the evening wind, and accidentally fell a few strands by the ears, making the cheeks sunken even more.
Juesheng and Jizhi said: “Thanks we still guessed that it is a flower demon such as peony or peony, but it turns out to be a tree demon. It must be because he can’t cultivate a good appearance, so he has to borrow the skin of a beauty.”
Lin Chengyou held the knife to block the frame. , I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, the sky was different, and the sky above my head became deeper and deeper. If it was true that the four women and one man had lost their minds, his judgment was unreasonable and wrong.
But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong. Yu Guang caught sight of Juesheng and Qizhi being distracted, and he said coldly, “You guys don’t stand up well, waiting for the monsters to be full?”
Juesheng and Qizhi didn’t dare to look any further. When the master taught them this formation, he asked them to put the “three precepts” in the first place, that is, “don’t hear, don’t ask, and don’t be afraid”.
In the words of the master, the two of them are Sanqing Daotong with their own golden seals. As long as they guard the Wuzang Formation, no monster with the ability can break through the cage.
Besides, the senior brother had already set up the Panluo Golden Net over the courtyard. This thing is the best way to restrain evil spirits. Unless the monster has been cultivated into a demon, it is impossible to call rescue soldiers in the net.
The monster was halfway up and turned around abruptly, instead of confronting Lin Chengyou head-on, and instead grabbed towards Qizhi, who was closest to it.
Qizhi felt a stinky smell coming towards his face, and he was unavoidably panicked, but when he thought of a senior brother swooping outside, he calmed down again.
Sure enough, before the monster was approaching, Lin Chengyou had already chased after him. When he dealt with Xie Ning, he had always been free from the ropes and ink, and he slashed the neck of the monster when he shot.
The monster tilted his head to dodge, and put a claw on his shoulder: “Lin Chengyou, you are so cold-blooded, how do you look like a Taoist?”
“Joke. The Tao is in my heart, the devil is in front of my eyes, and I will be merciful to you such demons. It is ruthless to the people of the world.”
“It’s obviously a huge ‘scourge’, so why say these high-sounding words. You and I are different from men and women, I don’t need your skin, and for the sake of your beauty, I’m down today. I want to pretend to be a young man, so I will say hello to you before I start, so that you can understand your death.”
Lin Chengyou laughed loudly: “As expected of the old locust tree demon at the foot of Liquan Mountain, he has been cultivated for many years to cultivate thick skin. Right. I have many saddles, but I have never seen a treasure saddle made of thousand-year-old tree bark. Since your skin is so thick, peel it off and use it as a saddle for me to play with?
” Even if it is, he has seen through its details so quickly.
Lin Chengyou brought the blade to him while talking and laughing, Bai Liang’s blade light was as cold as his eyes.
The monster did not dare to underestimate these moves, the giant claws shrank back, and fell into the Ligong position in the formation.
The Li Palace is one of the four Yin Palaces. Unlike the Yang Fourth Palace, which is guarded by two little Taoist priests, it is a cage dedicated to depleting the magic power of monsters.
The monster just stood there for a while before feeling dazzled and dazzled, knowing that if he was trapped in it for a long time, his whole body cultivation base would be disintegrated.
It calculated that it was almost time, sat down cross-legged, raised his arm and cut off a finger in the night, and the blood sprayed on the ground, like a red plum blossoming with ten thousand petals.
It endured the severe pain and inserted the severed finger into the courtyard.
Lin Chengyou swept to the top of its head in the air, but before he could make a move, a dark circle of light suddenly appeared around the monster, as if an invisible ice blade had hit his chest in the air, and immediately shook him far away.
Lin Chengyou’s heart trembled, only to feel the blood surging in his chest, he turned a somersault, but still couldn’t let go of the strange force, he hurriedly stabbed the ground with a knife and barely stabilized his body.
It seemed that a large amount of ice slag had been injected into the blood, and every pore was extremely cold.
Juesheng and Qizhi couldn’t help but open their eyes: “Senior brother!” The
guards over there escorted a group of wounded people out of the inner room, because they knew that the monster was in the courtyard, so they didn’t dare to look at it.
Teng Yuyi was busy taking care of her cousin’s cage and fell behind the group.
Suddenly hearing the child’s shouting, she turned her head in surprise, and through the staggered figures, she realized that Lin Chengyou was kneeling on one knee and coughing, as if injured.
The author has something to say: “Abandoning sages and abandoning wisdom”: from “The Tao Te Ching”, which means abandoning wisdom and ingenuity and returning to simplicity and innocence.
The version that was sent out yesterday for the first time missed a short paragraph at the end, so a small number of readers saw the incomplete version. If you feel that a piece of plot is missing, you can go back to the previous chapter and read it.
