The seniors were all leaving too hastily. Gu Chengshu, carrying a jade coffin on his back, stood at the gate of Funiu City and slowly turned around under the watchful eyes of the warriors and monks who defended the city.
The city guard Xue Fu, who received the message from the leader, came towards her hurriedly, "Fellow Taoist Gu, please come this way!"
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Xue."
Another one named Xue.
Seeing Xue Fu with white hair, Gu Chengshu breathed a vague sigh of relief.
She was also very sorry for the death of senior Xue Gong. The elders were uncomfortable, and she was also uncomfortable. But in addition to this, she also had a vague suspicion. This suspicion made her heart feel an inexplicable dull pain.
However, if the Xue family is an affiliated family of the War Temple, even if it has some relationship with her mother, it must not be such a coincidence. Is it the kind of relationship she thought it was?
Gu Chengshu didn't want that relationship. If it was that relationship, her mother...
"Just give me a quiet room!"
"OK."
Xue Fu first took a look at the jade coffin she was carrying.
The Western World was so badly affected by corpse puppets that no coffins have been seen for many years. All dead monks or mortals, regardless of their status, were cremated.
If the leader hadn't personally conveyed the message and asked him to entertain this fellow Daoist Gu with the greatest honors, he wouldn't have been able to let her enter the city just because of the jade coffin she was carrying.
"Fellow Taoist, come with me."
The castle guard's mansion is not far away, just a quiet room.
Just as Xue Fu was about to lead her there in person, a drum sound suddenly sounded from the direction of the north gate, and his expression changed, "Come here, take Taoist friend Gu to the quiet room."
After calling someone, he turned to Gu Chengshu and said, "Yuegui is attacking the city. Xue wants to take the first step. There are twelve rooms in the east wing of the city guard's house. Follow your Taoist friends to choose."
"I know, you go and do your work first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Fu left in a hurry.
Gu Chengshu noticed that the people on the city wall who were originally relaxed now all straightened their bodies and were in a state of combat readiness.
But what if they enter a state of war readiness?
Among the ten people, there was only one Qi Refining monk.
Gu Chengshu noticed that most of the monks here were older and obviously out of touch.
I don’t know if the entire outer city of the Temple of War is like this, or because it is located in the middle of the Temple of War and the cities on the front line. There is not much fighting in peacetime, so the personnel rationing is poor.
Gu Chengshu hoped it was the latter.
Carrying the coffin, she followed the waiter who led the way into the east chamber, and randomly chose a slightly larger room.
"Xianzi Gu, do you want to put this jade coffin in another room?"
"No need!"
Gu Chengshu shook his head, "I want to read a few scriptures to this senior. If you have something to do, go and do it yourself!"
After so many years, although salvation may have been useless for a long time, when encountering it, she would always read a few volumes to this senior and do her best.
"yes!"
The waiter bowed and left. Gu Chengshu searched in his memory and chose "The Supreme Sutra of Saving the Suffering", which is a Taoist scripture used by Taoist sects to save the dead and save the dead. It is commonly used in dojos to save the dead. The sutra is written in five-character rhyme, praising Taiyi for rescuing suffering gods and pulling all living beings out of the lost way and transcending the three realms. It is said that if all living beings can understand the void and transcend all phenomena, they will be liberated from life and death and avoid the suffering of reincarnation.
Although it may not be possible, if you think about it more, the seniors may know that they have found the reason for the shrinkage of the spiritual veins, and the Temple of War, and even the entire Western World, will slowly get better.
In Gu Chengshu's opinion, the latter may be more important to Senior Xue.
"At that time, save the suffering god:
Filling the realms of the ten directions, he always uses his majestic power to save all sentient beings and escape from their lost ways.
All sentient beings are unaware, just like seeing the sun and the moon blindly. I am too inexperienced, and my leadership is boundless.
Qingyun opens the door to life, and the auspicious smoke blocks the dead house. The beginning of Xuan Yuanshi is used to communicate the auspiciousness and sense of opportunity.
Save all sins and overcome all misfortunes,
The misty and super-immortal source, naturally clear and clear, all inherit the power of the Great Dao to subjugate all demonic spirits.
…
Neither confused nor desolate, neither self nor nameless, reciting sinful and blessed verses thousands of times will clear away all the dirt in my heart.
At that time, the Feitian God King and all the gods and immortals finished reciting the words, bowed their heads to the Heavenly Lord, bowed and left. "
In such a world, there is no other way to go but to work hard and to resist.
This road is littered with bones...
Gu Chengshu tried hard to calm her voice and her heart, and not to worry about what she could not reach for the time being. However, although her spiritual power had not recovered at this time, her consciousness was always there. Some of the warriors on the city wall were Even the half-spiritual corpses could not be recognized. In a short period of time, more than ten people had been carried down from the east gate.
Several Qi Refining monks were struggling to survive. They tried hard to use various spells, such as vine entanglement, water spraying, or fire smoke, to mark Yue Gui who rushed up the city wall, so that the warriors could cooperate with them to kill those who rushed up the city wall. Yuegui, this is really...
Gu Chengshu knew that the main reason why they were so tired was because their cultivation level was too low. Even if they used fire spells, they would not be able to kill things that she could flatten with one palm because of their weak spiritual power and poor power.
"Quick, light the fire."
The waiter who had just entertained her led the people to carry the firewood, sprinkled it with kerosene, and lit it.
Gu Chengshu discovered that the fire in the east gate was lit, and the fires in the other three gates were also lit.
Perhaps it was because the blazing fires everywhere were so hot that those semi-spiritual Yue Gui were not as brave as they had been in dealing with mortals before. Whether it was movements or dodges, they seemed to be slower.
But the firepower of firewood is limited, so fighting like this cannot last long. What's more, there are many half-spirit-level Yuegui outside the city who are rushing here. Tonight... it is still a disaster for Funiu City.
Gu Chengshu focused his consciousness in the direction of the north gate, where the city guard Xue Fu was surrounded by a bronze corpse and two third-order moon slys, and was unable to free his hands to rescue others.
"Senior, can I help you kill the enemy?"
Gu Chengshu could no longer read the sutra, "In your opinion, those things outside should be more popular with you than the "Tai Shang Sutra" that I am reciting!"
After bowing, the Xuanji Sword was in her hand. Just as she was about to go out, a waiter rushed in, "Xianzi Gu, it's dangerous outside. Come with me through the tunnel!"
What?
Gu Chengshu was stunned.
She's a monk, right?
Although his spiritual power has not yet been restored, after several times of marrow cleansing and body training, he is still stronger than those warriors.
"The City Lord has ordered that if there is danger, I will do whatever it takes to ensure your safety first. Please come with me!"
"...You want me to be a deserter?" Gu Chengshu was angry, "Who is he looking down on?"
As he spoke, he kicked lightly with his feet. The jade coffin was three feet off the ground. With a strong movement in his palm, the jade coffin rushed out of the room and stood upright in the courtyard. "Senior, I will help you kill the enemy."
At this moment, the roars of corpse puppets rang out from all directions outside the city.
"Xianzi Gu!"
The waiter rushed in front of her regardless of everything, "Did you hear that? They are bronze corpses, at least four bronze corpses." His eyes were red, "The person commanding must be the hall master under King Luosen, we Funiu The city is over, now we can escape as much as we can!"
"The mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, twist their heads over to me."
In his consciousness, monks in white robes and white robes were waving their fans and heading towards the east gate with hundreds of corpses.
Two of the more powerful ones, probably bronze corpse puppets, were about to jump onto the city wall.
Once they come up, none of the warriors and monks guarding the wall will survive.
Gu Chengshu had no time to talk nonsense with the waiter and patted the body bag hidden in the satchel, "Don't let anyone go."
"Hoho~"
While the waiters were stunned, Shan Qing and Shui Xiu dodged several times and rushed towards the city wall.
They arrived first, and smashed the two bronze corpses that were about to jump up. They smashed one into mud with one palm, smashed the chest of the other with one punch, and beat the other's corpse away all the way.
"What are you doing standing still?"
Gu Chengshu's voice was stern, "Come up with me and kill the enemy!"
"Ah? Yes!"
The waiter quickly followed.
If Funiu City can be saved, who will become a deserter?
He followed Gu Chengshu closely. As soon as he climbed onto the city wall, he saw him holding a thin sword and striking at places where he couldn't see through the moon.
"Ahhhh..."
Yue Jui's sharp screams came out after his rapier passed by. It seemed that with every sword strike, a half-spirit level Yue Jui died.
The waiter calmed down, and sure enough, amid the screams, he saw shadows appearing one after another, as if the skin was leaking air, and when it fell to the ground, small cores as thin as sand fell down.
this?
Funiu City is stable.
The waiter held up his sword and swung it forward to the left. A half-spirit-level Yuegui screamed "Ah" and revealed his figure. However, he obviously did not stab its fatal part, but instead It aroused its ferocity. It opened its hands and the nails on its claws were like steel armor. They looked extremely cold under the blue moonlight.
"kill!"
There was another sword strike, but it was the warrior next to him who struck out fiercely.
Funiu City is still more than 600 miles away from the frontline cities. Usually there are only sporadic semi-spirit-level or first-level moon sly attacks on the city. Although there are occasional casualties, it has never been as dangerous as today.
Today is not the first day of junior high school, nor is it the fifteenth day!
The waiters didn't even know where so many half-spirit-level Yuegui came from.
What's more, there are Yu Baiyi and Hall Master Yu's zombie army. How did they get to them?
The monks and warriors on the city wall originally thought it was over when they saw Yu Baiyi. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Yu Baiyi and his corpse puppet army were attacked by two powerful corpse puppets before they arrived. Dao Zhi, killed so hard that he had no power to fight back?
It's...that's great.
Xue Fu, who thought he was going to be finished, was determined, and the firepower surged from his palm, like a fire palm, hitting the third-order Yuegui who was trying to escape, "Ahhh..."
"Fellow Daoist Gu, capture Yu Baiyi alive."
Something's wrong today.
Xue Fu suspected that it might be related to this fellow Daoist Gu, or it might be related to the leader who left in a hurry.
But no matter which one it was, as the city guard, he had to ask.
Ask Yu Baiyi how he got here, and ask if he has any other accomplices around Niutoushan.
"Shui Xiu! Catch them alive."
Gu Chengshu slashed a first-order moon sly into crystal sand when he realized something was wrong and wanted to escape. He threw it out without hesitation, blocking a claw attack for the seriously injured warrior lying on the ground.
Without spiritual power, these semi-spiritual and first-level Yuegui can only be killed by her like vegetables and melons, without the slightest ability to fight back.
After a while, the battle on the city wall ended completely. The uninjured warriors were cleaning up the crystal sand left by Yuegui. These things were useless to the monks, but they were rare treasures for them.
Crystal sand can improve the quality of weapons. The more you put in, the more powerful it will be.
It can also be made into a marrow cleansing liquid by an alchemist. Warriors under twenty years old can use it to strengthen their muscles and bones.
The warriors of Funiu City had only seen so much crystal sand more than sixty years ago. That year, Funiu City had ten rooms and four empty houses, and it was only the experts from the Temple of War who came to help to save the city.
But those experts only visit the four directions on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Usually, I heard that they practice in seclusion.
today……
Several warriors secretly looked at Gu Xianzi who helped them turn the tide of the battle.
"Thank you so much, fellow Taoist, for just now."
Yu Baiyi ran away, in the hands of such a powerful Silver Corpse. Xue Fu's expression almost matched his hair, "Fellow Taoist came with the head of my family, I dare to ask, what happened to Niutoushan?" Something?"
He returned to Funiu City from the front line to take care of himself, but today, is he taking care of himself?
There was an earthquake first at Niutoushan, and then the spiritual energy surged.
"Where is my head going? Fellow Taoist...where are you coming from?"
The order given to him by the leader is that if there is danger, he must ensure her safety at all costs.
Xue Fu had too many questions in his mind.
"It's not convenient for me to talk about Niutoushan."
Gu Chengshu said bluntly.
She can't say that the former head of your family has been found.
Not to mention, today I used Niutoushan to trick the devil.
Even if this matter was to be spread, it should not be spread by her.
"As for where Master Yu is going, you don't even know, and it's even less possible for me to know."
Gu Chengshu rubbed his forehead.
Tai Sui is being hunted.
It would be a lie to say that I am not worried at all.
But what would happen if I told Xue Fu about this?
He is worse than her.
If you really know about it and spread it out... the lower-level monks will only panic, which will not be beneficial to the overall situation, and may also be taken advantage of by the sneaky cultivators hiding in the dark.
"As for me……"
Gu Chengshu paused and said, "Before I answer my friend, can I ask you two questions?"
"You ask!"
Xue Fu felt that her status was not low, otherwise, the leader would not have said such things.
"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Xue is already the third Fellow Daoist named Xue that I know from the Temple of War. Dare I ask Fellow Daoist Xue, is the Xue family an affiliated family of the Temple of War?"
Xue Fu: "..."
His face was a little sad, "The Xue family is a family affiliated with the Temple of War. It was once... very powerful. The previous head was even a member of our Xue family. However, the head disappeared and the soul fire was extinguished. The Xue family has been looking for it for a long time. Not found, now...
For more than a hundred years, the Xue family has disappeared. The real Xue family...you can count them with ten fingers. "
He is also a Xue family member, but he is dying.
Xue Fu pressed down the water that was about to rise in his eyes, "Fellow Taoist, isn't he a monk from our Western World?"
The monks in the Western World should know that their Xue family is almost empty.
"It must be a coincidence that you met our person named Xue."
Xue Fu turned to Gu Chengshu, "I don't know what the names of the two in front are, maybe I know them too."
