205 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 204

Chapter 204 Looking for five hundred people to reunite with old friends

Xie Lian said: …what?”

Jun Wu seemed to be worried, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: “What’s wrong, Xian Le, why do you suddenly ask about your master?Did you encounter anything in Tonglu Mountain?Something to do with him?”

Xie Lian came back to his senses and was about to give a brief explanation before asking further questions. Suddenly he heard a noise coming from the other side, and Jun Wudao said: “I saw the three mountain monsters you mentioned, they are really weird!I’ll deal with them first and talk more about them later.However, since you are asking about Xian Le, remember one thing: your master is not a simple person. If you really meet him, be careful!”

After saying that, there was silence over there, and he thanked Lian: “Emperor?”

Jun Wu didn’t respond anymore.It is difficult to deal with one of the mountain monsters, and it is even more difficult to encircle and attack three monsters. Previously, Xie Lian could not solve it even with his endless mana and the control of a giant statue of a god that defies the sky. Now Jun and I are dealing with it alone, and I am afraid it will take some energy.After briefly explaining the content of the channeling to Huacheng, the two stopped.

At this moment, they were on a wide and open street. Looking up to the sky, dark clouds covered the moon, and they could faintly see wisps of black smoke-like things floating in front of the cold moon, as if they were ink blurred in the clear water.

Those are the resentful spirits transmitted from Wuyong Temple by Bai Wuxiang.They haven’t come in yet because the aura of the emperor in the palace and the palaces and temples of immortals and gods in the imperial city complement each other, forming a majestic aura.A natural barrier will block this large number of evil things from the aura, so they can only wander high in the sky.

Almost every city has a similar aura, because there will be several extraordinary figures, great priests, and so-called outstanding people everywhere.However, it cannot be blocked forever.Huacheng said: “Just strengthen this layer.”

However, the question is how to reinforce it?Xie Lian said: “A spell?Magic weapon?Then he said, “I’m afraid not.””

This is the resentful spirit that covers the entire imperial city. Unless we also find thousands of spells and magic weapons, we may not be able to withstand it.Walking around, Xie Lian gritted his teeth and said: “Sanlang, I have a way, maybe I can strengthen this realm, but… I need people.”

Huacheng said: “How much?”

Thanks for the pity: “A lot.The more the better, at least five hundred.”

Huacheng said: “Dead or alive?”

He listened carefully, he was not joking, and said with thanks, “A living person.Ghosts are not acceptable.I need to borrow the yang energy and vigor of living people to repel those resentful spirits.”

Huacheng said: “In this case, it means that it must be voluntary.”

Thanks for the pity: “Yes.It must be voluntary and have the will to fight back and defend.If you are timid or have insufficient energy, you may be taken advantage of.”

Huacheng nodded slightly and said: “Just like the soldiers who kill at the front on the battlefield, they must be the ones who want to win the most and have faith.If you are forced to have no choice but to escape and have no morale, you will never win. You will lose your armor and lose your armor.”

Xie Lian said: “That’s the truth.Can Saburo be found?”

After thinking for a moment, Huacheng said slowly: “Brother, if you want to die, I can find it for you.It is easy to live involuntarily.But it’s not necessarily easy to do it voluntarily.”

After a pause, he continued: “There are indeed many people in the world who worship the Ghost King, but I know that firstly, they are afraid of me, and secondly, they want something from me, so they are afraid that I will obey me.I can use coercion and inducement, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to find the kind of person you need, brother.Feel sorry.”

Xie Lian listened intently and said: “You don’t need to apologize.Let’s just find a way to find it together.”

Huacheng said: “Yeah.But brother, there is good news.Fifty steps ahead, at the corner, there was a group of living people.”

Xie Lian also felt it, and ran forward to take a look. There happened to be a group of people on the opposite side who were about to turn the corner. He suddenly appeared and shouted in horror: “Ghost!”!!”

Xie Lian took a closer look, recognized the person, and said happily: “Everyone, it’s not a ghost, it’s me!”

That group of people, monks, monks, Taoists and laypeople, looked very familiar. The Taoist in colorful clothes at the head, didn’t he just have open eyes?Aren’t the bunch at the back the same group of mages who had been pestering the two of them all the way before and were knocked unconscious by the roof of the black-hearted shop opened by Qi Rong in Barren Mountain Ridge?

Behind Xie Lian, Huacheng walked up leisurely with his hands behind his back.He is not in the form of a child now. He smiles carelessly and sternly, so frightened that the others immediately step back three feet: “You still say it’s not a ghost!It’s a ghost, it’s a ghost!Still a ghost king!!!”

Huacheng suppressed his fake smile and clicked his tongue impatiently, not even bothering to comment.Xie Lian was looking for someone everywhere, and he quickly raised his hands: “Everyone, you came just in time, there is something…”

Unexpectedly, when he raised his hand, the reaction on the other side was several times more exaggerated than he expected. They all fell down on the ground, extremely alert, and all said: “Be careful of hidden weapons!”

“…”

Xie Lian thought for a while before he remembered what the so-called “hidden weapon” was. He was speechless for a moment and said: “You don’t have to be afraid, I don’t have a hidden weapon on me.”Bingqing Yujie Pills are not that easy to make. Just the knife skills require careful carving and it takes a long time. He added: “And you forced us to do that last time, and we didn’t do anything to you, and there is no need now.”

Hearing this, everyone thought about it, and quickly got up from the ground. They dusted off the dust and straightened their clothes, but still kept their distance, and did not put down the Zen staff, sword and other magic weapons.Tianyan opened his eyes and said: “I said, Taoist Priest, I haven’t seen you for many days, and the ghost energy in you has become more serious. I think it would be better for you to turn around as soon as possible.By the way, why is it so heavy?I’m not bluffing you, I can’t even see your face clearly.”

“…” Xie Lian almost blushed when he heard this. He didn’t dare to look at Huacheng and interrupted, “Let’s talk about this later.Everyone, I watched the sky at night and saw some bad things. Did you see it?”

The Heavenly Eye opened and said: “Of course I saw it!Watching the sky at night is something we must do every day.I also wondered what kind of demons and ghosts were causing trouble. Could it be the Lord of Huacheng again?”

Xie Lian said: “Of course not, otherwise I wouldn’t have reminded you.We are also here for those things, and we are trying to think of ways to strengthen the aura of the Imperial City.”

Tianyan opened his eyes and asked suspiciously: “You?Think of a way?”

“Will the Ghost King be so kind?”

Huacheng smiled and said: “It’s not because of good intentions, but if I want to do something in the Imperial City, this aura can’t stop me at all.”

The expressions of the mages were unpredictable.Xie Lian knew that the vigilance was not so easy to eliminate, and he did not force it. He said: “I have dealt with those things in the sky. They are very difficult. If they break through the protective field of the imperial city and come in, there will be chaos. So now we are looking for people to help set up a defense. Five hundred people are needed.”

Tianyan was speechless: “Five hundred people?!What kind of formation is this? You need so many people!I’ve never heard of it?”

Xie Lian was embarrassed to say that five hundred people was the minimum requirement. In fact, if he were to let it go, he would probably need eight hundred people.All the mages also talked about it: “I haven’t heard of it either, has anyone seen it recorded in any book?”Are those things so powerful?””I’ve only heard of goblins eating five hundred people in one bite, but I’ve never heard of setting up an array that requires so many people.””Is it dangerous?””

After careful consideration, Xie Lian said truthfully: “I can’t say for sure.Maybe, maybe not.Only 70% to 80% sure.Because I have never tried this formation.”

It is also impossible to find previous records, because Xie Lian did not learn this formation from a book or from someone, but for more than 800 years, he kept thinking while walking, thinking about what to do if one day the human-to-human epidemic was to break out again. Can he just sit back and wait for death?I came up with it this way.At that time, he didn’t seriously think that he would face this big crisis again in the future, but he didn’t expect that it would come in handy.

A group of people over there discussed for a long time, and finally, Tianyan turned around and said cautiously: “We can’t gather that many people.And…”

Moreover, they do not trust Xie Lian and Hua Cheng.

This is also helpless. After all, they have no idea what the human facial epidemic is and how powerful it is, and there must have been many people in Huacheng who had grudges with them in the past and played with them like bugs.Xie Lian originally thought that these people were all mages and should have their own sects and disciples. Maybe Zaza Lala could gather three to four hundred people together, and he would have to figure out how to do the rest, but it seemed that his hope was in vain.

Huacheng said: “Brother, there is no need to talk nonsense to them.Let’s go.”

Xie Lian nodded, not discouraged, and left with him.However, Tianyankai and others did not leave, but followed them furtively, thinking they were well hidden.Xie Lian was very speechless, but thinking that these mages were probably following them because they were afraid that they would cause trouble to the Imperial City, they were kind-hearted and thought it was funny, so they ignored it.At this time, Huacheng suggested: “Why don’t you go to a place where the poor gather, where there are many desperadoes and daring people, you might gain something.”

So, the two of them turned towards the darkness of the imperial city.I walked to a temple that had been demolished and took a look. People were sleeping in a mess all over the temple, all the way outside the temple.This seems to be a group of homeless people, or beggars.It was freezing cold, and almost everyone was dressed in rags. There were men, women, and children, and they didn’t shy away from it.Some occupied a broken straw mat, some held straws to keep warm, and some simply slept on the ground.Those who were awake were either moaning in pain from the sores on their bodies or picking at lice from their bodies. There was also a man dragging a lame leg around the temple, seemingly delivering bowls of water to the patients. Before entering, the smell of sweat and weirdness wafted out, which was suffocating.

The most prosperous area and the most filthy and dilapidated slums are actually so close to each other, almost only one street apart. The comparison between the two is embarrassing, but Xie Lian certainly has no time to sigh at this moment.He stepped forward and said, “Can you help me?”

Before anyone answered, someone started yelling: “Help your mother!I still want someone to help me!Let no one sleep, get away!”

Xie Lian was not angry and said: “This is a very important matter. If you are willing to lend a helping hand, you will definitely…definitely benefit the common people!”

He originally wanted to decide to thank him profusely, and he would naturally thank him, but if he went there just for the sake of “thank you profusely” from the beginning, it could be said that his thoughts were impure.The beggars in the temple cursed even more fiercely: “It’s none of my business to benefit the common people!Someone asked: “Is there any reward?””

Xie Lian looked back, and Huacheng’s eyes flashed with displeasure, as if he wanted to be a little cruel, so he quickly grabbed him and whispered: “Goodbye first.What you said, Saburo, is that coercion and inducement will not work.Let me tell you the truth, there are seventy or eighty people here, and you can always find a few that can be used.”

The strange light in Huacheng’s eyes disappeared.At this time, a faint voice said: “Hey, hey, hey!Everyone, listen to me!Listen to me!Stop making noise!Let him tell you what it is first!”

Xie Lian turned around after hearing the words, and saw that the person who spoke was the lame beggar. He was also in ragged clothes, unkempt, and thin. He couldn’t see clearly what he looked like, but his voice seemed to be quite young.He waved to everyone in the temple, but strangely he only waved one hand, so his posture was a bit awkward.The beggars seemed to listen to him, and their curses became weaker.Xie Lian said: “Thank you very much!”It’s not nonsense. He fired a palm flame with his backhand, which shot up so high that the beggars screamed and screamed. Those who didn’t wake up woke up and said, “What kind of magic is this?!”

Xie Lian said seriously: “It’s not magic, it’s fairy magic. It just proves that what I said is true.To be honest, this is the case. Now a large number of demons and monsters have surrounded the imperial city and are about to attack.Now five hundred people are needed to voluntarily join the magic circle to protect the imperial city.Who wants to come?I won’t hide it, I may encounter danger, but I will never force it, only voluntarily!”

“…”

There was silence in the ruined temple.All the beggars looked at each other, but no one stood up and said that I volunteered.After a while, someone said: “Guarding the imperial city?Forget it.”

Xie Lian turned around and looked, and the man fell down and said to himself: “The imperial city doesn’t protect me, hey, I still protect the imperial city?How you feel about love is none of my business!”

His tone was indifferent and angry.It’s not that Xie Lian can’t understand, but this is difficult to handle.Obviously, this temple is crowded with poor people who are in similar situations to this man and have similar ideas to him.He didn’t say there was any reward, and his life in the imperial city wasn’t necessarily that good. Why should he help at this time?It’s freezing in the temple in the middle of winter, so who wants to go out?

Xie Lian tried to make a final effort and said: “If those things invade the imperial city, a terrible plague will break out, and everyone will be affected in the end.”

An old beggar lying on the ground said: “What plague can be more terrifying than this old sore on my body?”

“If there really is a plague, it’s probably best to leave.It’s not like I have to stay here, it’s not a good place, it’s different wherever I go.”

“Then let those honorable lords and ladies in the Imperial City go.Someone will always go, why do we have to go?”

“This…” Xie Lian couldn’t explain.Those respectable men and young ladies would also think this way: If I don’t get it, someone else will.Moreover, because they have family business and foundation in the imperial city, they have more things they are reluctant to part with when facing danger, so this idea will be stronger.It’s not that it’s wrong or bad to think this way, but if everyone thinks this way, things won’t work.

After waiting for a while, no one came out, so Xie Lian said decisively: “Okay.Excuse me.”

He turned around and exited the ruined temple, Huacheng said: “Brother, don’t worry, there are also people on my side taking action.You can always find enough when the news spreads.”

Thanks for nodding.He was not worried that he would not be able to find five hundred people in the end, but he was worried that there was not enough time and catching people to make up the number would be counterproductive. Looking at the sky, the wisps of black clouds were still blocking the sky and making it difficult to fathom.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: “Wait!Wait wait wait!——I’m going!”

Hearing this, Xie Lian was startled and turned back sharply.I saw the lame beggar dragging one leg and jumping out of the temple door, saying: “Does the person you are looking for just need to live? Or what?Is it okay if my limbs are broken?”

It turned out that this man’s movements seemed awkward because he was not only lame in one leg, but also had a broken arm, which was hanging limply.

Seeing that someone finally came forward, Xie Lian’s heart warmed up and he immediately said: “No problem at all!”

The man was quite cheerful and said: “That’s good!Take me with you!”

All the beggars in the temple were shocked: “What are you doing???Didn’t you listen to what he said? It might be dangerous!”

“yes!Moreover, no money was given, and no remuneration was mentioned after talking for a long time!”

“Don’t wade into this muddy water, Lao Feng, come back soon!”

“…”

Since just now, Xie Lian has always felt that this person is very familiar.But because the appearance was so different from the person in his memory, and the voice was slightly gravelly, he just didn’t recognize it.But when he heard someone else blurt out the word “wind”, he finally suddenly woke up.

Xie Lian stared at him closely and said in disbelief: “… Master Feng Master???”

The beggar laughed, stretched out his hand to brush away the black hair from his face, and said, “You recognized me, Your Highness!”

Under the dirty black hair, a pair of extremely bright eyes were as bright as before.
