Novoland: Eagle Flag: four

The guest room of Xiangzhan.

Ximen manipulated the silver needle with a slightly smaller hand than ordinary people, and accurately pierced Lu Guichen's wound. Xiang Kongyue's peerless secret technique completely healed the wound overnight. But stopping the bleeding didn't help Lu Guichen regain his energy, his situation looked even more horrific, his delicate and quiet face had already turned haggard.

Looking at the blood on the silver needle, Ximen also nodded quietly, opened Lu Guichen's closed eyes again, and carefully observed the pair of dilated pupils.

"It's not very serious. Vipers are divided into seven types, and he has never encountered the most venomous one. The poison on the arrowhead is a mixture of the venom of other six vipers. So it's not too difficult to solve." Simon said calmly.

"Six types?" The situation was far worse than Long Xiang expected, he stuck out his tongue with his face crooked.

"Except for the one with black background and white stripes called Viper King, I don't know how to solve it. The other six are not too difficult. As for Viper King, it is said that this kind of Viper King is often poisoned by its own venom. dead, so I guess ordinary people can't raise it."

"Poisoned to death by your own venom?"

"This kind of snake is very stupid. It often injects venom into its prey. Its venom is usually stored in a sac on the snake's head. Only there is it safe. Once it leaves the sac, it is King Viper himself will also be poisoned to death, this kind of snake was completely artificially bred by the pharmacists of the previous generation, maybe the method of breeding has not been handed down?"

Looking at Xiang Kongyue who was recording at the side, Ximen said lightly: "I will record these trivial things for you later, you don't need to record them yourself. But now you have to find a way to open his wound, Let his wound heal after bloodletting, and until we find a suitable medicine, we must bleed every half a day to heal the wound once.”

There was also a trace of bitterness on Xiang Kongyue's handsome face. He knew how amazing the mental consumption of driving the Sun's true method every half a day was. He could already imagine that when Lu Guichen came back to life, it would be him The moment when I completely collapsed.

Simen thought about it and made a list: "Now find someone to buy medicinal materials with me."

"Master, I'll protect you and go with me!" Long Xiang's character that likes to join in the fun is hopeless. He really thinks this little girl who is called an astrologer is very interesting.

Ximen looked vigilantly at the pair of eyes that were almost close to her face, the shallow scar on Long Xiang's face gave her a bad impression, she took a step back, frowned and looked at this Passionate assassin.

"Little sister, don't be afraid," Yu Ran affectionately stroked Ximen Xuebai's head, "Then let Ji Ye go with you."

Yuren, who can live as long as 120 or even 150 years old, are slower and later than ordinary humans in terms of growth and childbearing, so the 20-year-old Yuran is taller than ordinary girls In other respects, she looks like a girl about the same size as Ximen. But even so, she and Himeno seem to have a bad habit of adding "little" before the address.

Ximen reluctantly held her hand and said, "Little sister..." I don't know if I should refute in the most severe tone, or immediately report my real age. However, her small self-esteem quickly suppressed this idea, and she would rather be a "little sister", but the astrologer still did not want to be seen as a cocky old lady.

Jimo was a little helpless, but he just frowned and took Ximen's hand: "Okay, little girl, I'll go with you."

"Is there no fresh smoked cress?" Ximen's expression became serious. This is already the seventh pharmacy she and Hime Ye asked, but fresh smoked cress is out of stock in any pharmacy.

"Why is the pharmacy in Qinyang, Wanzhou short of medicines?" Ji Ye asked the owner coldly.

"I don't know, the medicine Yanshui celery has been rarely used. I used to bring a small bag back every time I purchased medicinal materials from outside, but I don't know why there are no medicinal materials shipped in last month..."

"Have your medicinal materials been inspected by the army of princes who blocked the city?" Ximen asked.

"It was inspected, but they didn't detain the medicinal materials," the shopkeeper looked carefully at Himeno's unfriendly expression.

"Understood," Ximen turned and walked out of the gate.

Walking with Ji Ye under the setting sun, Ximen said: "It seems that we can't buy smoked cress in Qinyang."

"Did the vassals take all the smoke and water celery away?"

"Yes, to cure the poison of the arrow wound, it is not enough to use smoked water celery powder soaked in potion, we must have fresh smoked water celery bulbs. The princes dare not offend the Chamber of Commerce in Qinyang, so they did not stop entering the city But they took away the fresh smoked cress in the cargo. The smoked cress can only be stored for a month at most, so Qinyang will soon have no fresh smoked cress available. Of course, it doesn’t matter to ordinary people, but to Zhong Those who are wounded by arrows are fatal."

"How long can he last?" Ji Ye tried his best to keep his tone calm.

"Another day has passed," Simon said, pointing to the sun, "maybe two days, three nights at most..."

"I'm going out of town tonight," Ji Ye nodded, "The nearest town is one hundred and seventy miles away, and I can come back by tomorrow night."

"I'll go with you," Simon said lightly.

"Why do you want to go with me?" Ji Ye looked at her puzzled, "You know there are cavalry and bows and arrows outside, I will be in trouble if you bring someone, especially if you don't know how to fight at all."

"I'm different from you, I have no interest in taking risks," Ximen said, "It's a pity that at least half of the smoked water celery powder in the Wanzhou drugstore is fake, and the fresh smoked water celery is probably the same, can you tell the difference? ?”

Frozen for a while, Ji Ye didn't know how to answer, he couldn't even tell the difference between a rose and a peony, let alone a real smoke cress.

In the middle of the night, Himeno tied a thin steel armor on his own green scorpion, hung the weapon on the saddle, and wrapped the horse's hoof with cotton cloth and straw. Ji Ye himself put on a second layer of thin soft armor under the usual cavalry armor, and at the same time wrapped Ximen with a small soft armor.

"I'll go," Yu Ran worried and pulled Hime Ye, "Maybe I can fly past the blockade of the cavalry."

"It's just a few thousand cavalrymen, I can rush over," Ji Ye comforted Yuran while hugging Ximen to the saddle, "You haven't recovered from your injury, maybe it's not easy to open your wings, right?"

Yu Ran had nothing to say, under her armor, the wounded wings were indeed still oozing blood. If flying alone, it would not be too difficult for the warriors of the Hexue Regiment, but with the Ximen, she would definitely not be able to fly high in the sky, and would be exposed to the range of bows and arrows of the princes' army.

Being wrapped in armor for the first time, Ximen was a little uneasy. Only now did she really realize what a dangerous thing she was doing, but as Ji Ye stepped on the horse and sat behind her, Ximen's heart gradually returned to the original place.

Himino covered her face with a visor made of thin iron chains, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, it's just to prevent stray arrows."

"I'll draw their attention away," Long Xiang patted his chest, "I'll be back after taking a walk around the city."

Looking at his cheerful and confident appearance, Ximen felt that Long Xiang was not a scary person anymore.

The gate of the city was wide open, and Long Xiang raised a large banner three to four times higher than himself in an exaggerated manner, with torches tied to the top of the large banner, and charged straight at the enemy's line.

This kind of prestige makes the cavalry of the princes have no doubt that the enemy will make a big move. The Fenghu cavalry of Chunguo is indeed a powerful force that has been famous for many years in the Eastern Lu, and it is the first to move among the troops of the princes of the Three Kingdoms. Following the wild goose row of cavalry and archers shooting their positions, two rows of light cavalry protruded from left to right, approaching Longxiang in a tendency to encircle. They never thought that such a big momentum was created by Long Xiang alone. Xiang Kongyue pushed the wind wall under the city wall, and the sound of Long Xiang's hooves increased a thousand times, as if a huge army was moving. At the same time, Xiang Kongyue created countless fireballs with ease, and with the westerly wind from Ye Lai, they floated directly towards the enemy's formation. From a distance, they looked like thousands of torches.

The knights of the Chun Kingdom had experienced the might of the barbarian cavalry led by Lu Guichen, and were even more shocked by such a large-scale offensive, so the two outflanking cavalry teams started long-range bow and arrow attacks.

Although he was quite frightened by Chunguo's viper thorn, Long Xiang fully demonstrated his creativity. Before he left the city, he spent half a gold baht to buy a family's thick wooden door panel, and directly installed the handle as a giant shield. He even hid behind the door panel, even if a thousand vipers stabbed him. not afraid. Unlike Ji Ye, Long Xiang didn't care at all that the tortoise-like tactics would hurt his face, and he was even very proud of his cleverness.

Yu Ran put a long feather arrow on the bow, Xiang Kongyue flicked his finger, and the phosphorus fire on the arrow was already ignited. Yu Ran immediately shot the feather arrow into the sky, and as Xiang Kongyue recited the complex incantation, the feather arrow exploded in the air, revealing a full moon-like brilliance.

It was the trumpet arrow. In fact, when Long Xiang rushed towards the enemy with great fanfare, Ji Ye had been quietly biting behind him. And once the gap in the enemy's formation was discovered by Xiang Kongyue on the city wall, he immediately directed Yu Ran to shoot the arrow indicating the direction.

Long Xiang, who was charging, planted the big flag with torches in the ground without hesitation, turned the door panel to cover the direction of the horse, and ran towards the Qinyang city wall like lightning. While Ji Ye stood out alone in the darkness, Su Tiegong shot six consecutive arrows, shooting a gap in the patrolling cavalry. When the Chun State army was in panic, Ji Ye walked through the gap. His green tail is extremely vigorous, and he left behind the enemy's snake-like formation in a blink of an eye

Chunguo Qingqi was about to chase after him, but Long Xiang had already gathered his own soldiers. Amidst the deafening roar, he turned around and rushed back. With so much audacity to use suspicion, if Long Xiang considers himself number two, no one would dare to admit number one throughout the ages.

The general led by Chunguo keenly realized that this round of charge really brought together the opponent's elite barbarian cavalry, and he suddenly realized that the cavalry that broke through his formation just now was just a bait to confuse him.

"Jie Tie Chain Array!" The general shouted, "Don't worry about the suspicious soldiers rushing into the formation, let your horses destroy the enemy's main force in front of you! If you win this battle, everyone will reward you!"

At the moment when the morale of the whole army of Chun State was high and the horses came galloping, Long Xiang waved his hand in disinterest and said: "Take the horses back to sleep."

Then the hundreds of cavalry who were originally majestic and majestic really turned their horses around and went back to the city to sleep.

"Is it fun?" Ji Ye asked Ximen with a smile.

The starry night is clear and the land is open, Hime Ye let go of Qing Zai and let it run by itself. The training of the war horse is extremely strict, even if it is not driven, it will not be lazy. Ji Ye didn't spur it because it was running at full gallop just now, and it might have damaged its horsepower.

Ximen's emerald green eyes stared at the sky. In order to maintain her balance, she clasped Himeno's arm wrapped in heavy armor with both hands. She was not tall at first, but now she looked more like a child beside the tall Qing Zai and Ji Ye.

Jimo watched her raptly, and without disturbing her, he led his horse in the direction of Wanfeng City.

"Did you see it? That's Po Jun," Ximen said, pointing to the sky, "If I'm not mistaken, it's your life star."

The Big Dipper in the sky was shining brightly, and the flowing starlight pierced the other stars around. Ji Ye silently looked up at it.

"Big Dipper?" Hime Ye's smile was a little secretive, "Is the star respected by all warriors in Kyushu my life star?"

"I know your identity," Ximen said without expression, "turning over your hand, the fingertips there tell me your identity, the star between the eagle's beak is in the shape of the Pojun, only the leader of the Sky Drive Are you worthy of owning this finger cot?"

"It seems that you know more than I thought."

"Hasn't the sky drive perished yet? You people who know courage, but don't know the destiny of the stars."

"Do you know the fate of the stars?" Ji Ye didn't care about her straightforwardness, he was not a broad-minded person, and he was even irritable and irritable sometimes. But for a girl with emerald green eyes like Ximen, Himeno felt it was foolish to be angry.

"Of course."

"Then what do you do when you know the fate of the stars? Wait for the fate of the stars?" Ji Ye sneered, "If you calculated that you would die tomorrow, wouldn't you prepare a pile of firewood and sit on it and wait? Cremated immediately after death?"

Ximen raised his head and looked at Ji Ye without saying a word.

Jimo felt apologetic, touched her head and said, "I'm just talking casually, I don't want to shake your faith."

"It doesn't matter, if that's really my belief, you can't shake it," Ximen said in a low voice, "It's a pity that I really can't calculate my own life and death. This is the biggest helplessness of an astrologer."

"Only for others?" Ji Ye felt incredible, and laughed twice.

"I am not my own master, I am just a door of fate.

When the gods sing about life in the starry sky, I am like dust falling on the earth.

I sing my own song and go to the east, and you by the water look west.

If the stars had given me a moment of free existence, I would have picked that white lotus for you. "

Ximen softly sang an ancient song written in the language of the Yiyu tribe.

"The founder of the Huangji Jingtian Sect, his name is Gu Fengchen, he is one of the most respected masters of the astrologers. He once fell in love with a woman," Ximen said, "so he calculated himself and The star fate between women, but he found that his own destiny and the woman's will never intertwine. So he thought his calculation was inaccurate, so he learned one of the most famous calculations in the history of astrology, Hun Tian Ding Huang But no matter how he calculates, his own fate will always be different from that woman. Finally, after three years of calculation, he died of heart failure. His blood wrote this poem called "Dust Song."

"Really?" Ji Ye raised his eyebrows, "Are you telling a tragic story, or a ridiculous story?"

"Forget it all. After sixty years, the astrologers have certified the principle that we cannot calculate ourselves," Ximen said lightly, "that is to say, we will never be able to calculate our own destiny."

"Shut up now," Ji Ye's voice suddenly became extremely indifferent, "We seem to be lost."

Almost at the same time, Ximen also found a problem: "Yes, this is not an ordinary road at all, we are not in the direction of Wanfeng City."

There was long grass all around, and they were far away from the road while letting the horse run, and what was even more incredible was that the green horse stopped by itself, but Ji Ye and Ximen didn't notice it. They sat on horseback, standing in a barren grass, there were no mountains or trees around them, only long grass half a person's height almost buried in the horse's chest.

The silence was as dead, and the uninterrupted wind swept quietly. The two of them realized this extremely weird scene at the same time. The surrounding scenery should not belong to the suburbs of Qinyang City, Wanzhou at all. They have been stuck in a completely strange place.

"It's still the starry sky in Wanzhou..." Ximen's voice trembled slightly, "But this is definitely not in Wanzhou."

"Looks like we haven't got rid of the enemy," Ji Ye quietly fumbled for the tiger-tooth gun beside the saddle, while lifting up the huge oval copper shield to cover Ximen.

"Illusion, mind illusion," Simon said, "only a very high-level mystic can perform mind illusion. We and the horses are deceived by our own feelings."

"Cover your ears." Ji Ye whispered.

Ximen covered his ears as he said.

"Drink!" A thunderous voice came out of Ji Ye's mouth, which came from the spiritual cultivation of a warrior. When Ji Ye drove the roaring tactics, it seemed that there were thousands of lions and tigers roaring together. The voice representing the growler's will rolls over the grass, and the enemies hidden behind the illusion will be challenged by this powerful will. Sure enough, in that short moment, Ji Ye saw a hazy figure on the right side in front of the horse. That was a short gap in the illusion.

Jimo sneered and got off the horse, Ximen held his hand in fear. Although she read a lot, her understanding of secret arts was far inferior to that of Xiang Kongyue. She felt that there were dangers hidden everywhere, and leaving Ji Ye's side made her even more flustered.

Himino smiled and took her off the horse and put her beside him: "Don't be afraid, look, I'm by your side!"

Before the words were finished, Ji Ye had already left Ximen for more than ten feet. No one could have expected that Ji Ye was speaking calmly, but in an instant, the "armor-piercing arrow" in the fourteen positions of the fierce gun exploded. He merged with the tiger's teeth, and rushed out with the roaring wind of the tiger. At the moment when ordinary people had no time to blink, a ray of reddish flashed in the grass.

Then Ji Ye appeared next to Ximen again, quietly holding her hand. If it wasn't for the lingering roar, Ji Ye would never have left at all.

"I'll stay here," Ji Ye said coldly, "you don't have to be afraid."

"Samurai Sky Drive?" A voice in the grass said with a smile.

"When did you catch up with us?"

"From the time you first stepped into battle, the power of Chenyue gave me eyes that can pierce the darkness."

The corners of Ji Ye's eyes twitched slightly: "An occultist from the Chenyue Sect?"

A gigantic samurai who is bigger and stronger than Himeno stepped out of the grass. It is hard to imagine that his huge body could hide quietly in the grass. .

The illusion technique quietly planted a subtle spiritual root into the opponent's consciousness. Everything Ji Ye and the others saw was the result of being deceived by their feelings.

"Do you want to continue to lie to me?" Ji Ye laughed loudly.

When the warrior walked out of the grass, he turned around and threw the tiger tooth. There was an empty space behind him. The tiger tooth penetrated the air with a black-gold light, but Simon clearly heard the sound of hitting something.

"There are many people who can understand that they are in the illusion, but those who can not be deceived by the eyes are really scary," said the voice just now.

"Be careful," Ji Ye held Ximen by his side, "I didn't hit his body."

Jime Ye and Ximen found that the surrounding environment distorted and changed in an instant. Without the weird wasteland, they stood on the wide horse road between the major cities in Wanzhou again. Kneeling on the side of the road was the huge samurai who just walked out of the grass, but his position moved from in front of Himeno to behind him in an instant. And the samurai's chest was pierced with Himeno's tiger-tooth spear.

The samurai is dead, and before he can throw the dagger in his hand, Himeno has already discovered his true location through the illusion. But the esoteric Taoist is still there. After discovering that Himeno will not be deceived by the illusion, he knows that he can't waste his energy maintaining the illusion. So he revoked the spell, and emerged in the cold moonlight.

A skinny head was placed on a tray in the warrior's hand. The dead warrior was supported by the tiger-tooth spear and had not yet fallen, and was still holding his master's head. Although he had heard of this secret technique, Ximen shrank behind Ji Ye in fright.

Jimo retracted the tiger tooth gun with his hand. The leather rope wrapped around the gun had been tied to his wrist, so he was not worried that he would not be able to retract the spear after throwing it.

"I have seen a Chenyue believer who has experienced withering before, but he still has a neck," Ji Ye sneered, "You are so withered that you don't even have a neck left. It seems that you are more successful than him."

The withering technique taught by Chenyue aims to completely destroy the body, but most high-level mystics have some bodies left during the withering process because their will is not strong enough. From half the body to a head, even only the brain above the nose including the eyes remains.

"You seem to have the guts to challenge Chenyue's power?"

"It's destruction!" Without giving the other party any more chances to speak, Ji Ye rushed forward, his almost perfect pace and rhythm of movement made his spear have the same effect as his great-grandfather Ji Yang's Dragon Slaying more than a hundred years ago. The momentum was still the first shot that stabbed the secret path warrior just now - "Armor Piercing Arrow". But the speed and strength at this time were not comparable to that of the shot just now, and the storm that Ji Ye stirred up made Ximen's face painful.

The head's eyes widened suddenly, and Ji Yepei Mo Nengyu's penetrating spear was blocked in the middle by an invisible force. Ji Ye roared in a low voice to stimulate the power, and the head occultist didn't dare to close his eyes. The spiritual power he conveyed by gazing with his eyes depends entirely on his inner strength. Material and spiritual forces competed in mid-air, Himeno's forehead was covered with sweat, and the eyes of the head began to emit faint fluorescence. Huya's spear point was only three inches away from the secret Taoist's brow, but even with Ji Ye's strength, he couldn't move it any longer.

Himino lost the opportunity. The key for a samurai to fight against a mystic is to use the fastest attack to disintegrate the opponent's body and spirit under the weapon before the opponent gathers his spirit. However, such a powerful Chenyue believer could complete the singing and spiritual cohesion at the moment of turning his mind, which Ji Ye never imagined.

"The leader of the Heavenly Exorcist...?" The occultist's pale head also showed a painful look, and it was obviously not easy for him to resist Ji Ye's power.

"Sure enough, as we imagined, the leader of the sky drive...has a successor again," the mystic priest's eyes glowed brightly, and he suddenly began to sing with the spirit of a singer singing to the mountains and deep valleys, overlapping The song of the secret spell contained unimaginable pressure. Although the other party did not move, Ji Ye had already realized that this head was going to use his life's strength to ruin the future of Tianqi on this road.

"Stop!" A calm female voice sounded from behind the mystic's head.

A dead branch in Ximen Yejing's hand pointed at a point under the head, and the head suddenly widened its eyes.

Once his strength relaxed, Ji Ye's tiger teeth protruded another inch, and the mysterious Taoist's amazingly powerful chant stopped at that point.

"There is your spine that is not completely withered. When you are fully powered, there is no protection there. I just need to tap there lightly. Do you think you can resist the pain and continue to hit the spirit?"

"I... have another way..." The mystic who was fighting Himeno still had the strength to talk to Ximen.

"Before you use that method, would you like to think about a question with me?"

"What's the problem?"

"Why did it start?" Simon asked softly, "Why did it end?"

Following a sentence that outsiders could not guess at all, a look of extreme horror appeared on the face of the head, as if something had completely disturbed his spirit. The powerful thoughts were completely shattered under the impact of one sentence, and Ji Ye's spear suddenly lost all resistance.

Himino stands back holding a gun. He didn't attack because he saw Simon shaking his head gravely behind his head.

"Why did it start? Why... ended?" The head itself rolled from the silver plate to the ground, repeating this sentence repeatedly. The long-used muscles on his face were spasming, and the throbbing corners of his eyes showed some kind of pain.

"Quick!" Simon pulled Lajye.

Hime Ye took her onto Qingzhao without hesitation. The war horse was no longer under the control of the mystic priest's spirit, and left like lightning. And the mystic Taoist seemed to be possessed, just chanting blankly: "Why did it start? Why did it end?"

"What did you tell him?" Himeno asked curiously.

"A flaw in the belief of Chenyue Sect," Ximen said thoughtfully, "it was a principle derived by my ancestor Gu Fengchen from the principle of astrology calculation, but this principle conflicts with the belief of Chenyue Sect. This The mystic priest must have some understanding of the principle of this conflict, his spirit is completely maintained by Chenyue's beliefs, so once his beliefs are shaken, his spiritual power will collapse for a short time."

"What principle?"

"The purpose of the highest god, the will of the highest god."

Jimo smiled wryly: "In order not to be like him, maybe I should not understand this principle."

"The difference between us," Simon said, "is that you warriors aspire to dominate the world, while we only want to try our best to understand the true ruler of the world."

"Why don't you let me kill him?"

"Because I don't want to die under his Taiyin burning method," Ximen smiled wryly, "If he is forced to burn himself, the history of Huangji Jingtian Sect and Tianqi will stop at this point. "

Being freed by Himeno and the others, it took a long time for the head to breathe.

"Huang Ji Jing Tian..." Head opened his eyes with difficulty, "The fate of the sky drive and the calculator of the stars have finally gathered. Is the day to break the balance finally coming?"

"I can't wait any longer!" Driven by the head, the dead warrior of the secret way stood up again drenched in blood.

Holding the silver plate containing the head, he shot through the grass like lightning and rushed to the secret destination.

"Quick!" The corpse control technique of the head crazily extracted the remaining power from the dead warrior's body. The only purpose was to return to the secret palace before the body collapsed. He really had no time to wait.
