On the distant mountain peak, Xu Huaigu and the others had a panoramic view of the battle scene between Yang Yun and Bingfeng. They all also saw that since the ice phoenix condensed all the rain in the sky into ice, the situation has taken a turn for the worse. Yang Yun has been retreating steadily and has lost all the disadvantages.
The three of them were certainly worried, especially Xu Huaigu. After chatting with the old swordsman for a few words that day, he had a very good impression of him. How could he bear to have him killed like this?
Moreover, this is the first battle between the demon race and the human race after the Qingling formation was broken. One of the two sides is Bing Feng, one of the Six Phoenixes of the Demon Realm, and the other is Yang Yun, the famous great swordsman under the Yang family, the highest swordsman in the world. The significance of this battle is not unimportant.
If Yang Yun loses, it may be difficult to repair the impact on the morale of the human race. But even though Xu Huaigu was anxious, he had no suitable way to help.
Although his cultivation level in the Eighth Realm is not low, he is still like a mantis in front of such a battle.
He had no doubt that as long as the ice phoenix used a little bit of its concentration to deal with him, he would be miserable.
Zhang Xiaohe frowned, while Li Zi lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Seeing that Yang Yun was about to lose, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart and sighed.
Li Zi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Maybe we can help him." Xu Huaigu said hurriedly: "How can we help?" Li Zi's tone was a little uncertain, and she said hesitantly: "This method just came to my mind suddenly. It's hard to say whether it will be useful or not. Besides, this requires your help." Xu Huaigu urged: "Just say so. If there is anything I can do to help, I will never refuse!" Hearing Xu Huaigu's determination , Li Zi did not show any pretense, and said quickly: "Okay! Then I will tell you."
"Actually, Bingfeng fought with Yang Yun, and Yang Yun was not without the ability to fight back. The key reason why he is now at a disadvantage is still the sudden rain. If the rain can stop, then Bingfeng will have no ice for her to use. It will be greatly restricted, so that Yang Yun can win back a victory!" Xu Huaigu frowned and said: "Everyone understands this, but... how to make the rain stop?" Li Zi did not speak directly. She made it clear, but smiled knowingly at him.
Xu Huaigu was shocked and asked: "Is it possible that you have a way?" Li Zi replied calmly: "The art of talisman gathers the natural essence of heaven and earth and controls the natural power of heaven and earth. Since there is a talisman that can turn rain into ice, naturally There are also talismans that stop the rain. However, making this talisman is a bit troublesome. Strictly speaking, this is not a single talisman, but a whole set of talismans, which can also be said to be a talisman array."
"I have read in ancient books that this rain-stopping talisman formation needs to be composed of a mother talisman and many sub-talisans. The sub-talisman is scattered around the area where the rain is to be stopped, and the mother talisman should be arranged in the center of the sub-talisman. , and then activate the mother talisman to drive the sub-talisman to take effect, which can stop the rain in a short time. However, this kind of talisman array is rarely used, and I don’t carry it with me, so I have to draw it temporarily. And in addition In addition, there is a more difficult problem..." Xu Huaigu asked: "Is it something that needs my help? Just tell me!" Seeing that Xu Huaigu was extremely anxious, Li Zi also spoke faster and said: "The first is Zifu. It must be placed high in the clouds. I can't go to such a high place, so I have to ask you to carry me up with your sword. Secondly, I just observed that if I want to stop the rain in this area, the location of the mother talisman must be It happens to be directly above the two of them fighting, I'm afraid it's extremely dangerous." Xu Huaigu pondered for a moment, and immediately said: "It doesn't matter, you draw the talisman as soon as possible, I will take you to arrange the sub-talisman, the position of the mother talisman is a bit If it's dangerous, just let me wield the sword and arrange it in the sky above them." Li Zi frowned quickly and said: "That's not possible. You don't know how to arrange the mother talisman. How do you know how to arrange the mother talisman? I must go with you. ." Xu Huaigu hesitated. He was not afraid of danger when he went by himself. He just wanted to involve Li Zi, but he hesitated.
Li Zi, who was reading a book, raised his eyebrows and said hurriedly: "What are you afraid of? I, Li Zi, have not encountered life-and-death dangers in these years, and now I am afraid. Who are you a hero? Everyone walked out of Qingling, what's the matter? Let's overcome the difficulties together. Do you look down on me by taking all the dangerous things away by yourself?" Xu Huaigu was speechless by Li Zi. Seeing that she was determined, he had no choice but to agree.
Zhang Xiaohe's level was too low to be of much help, so Li Zi asked him to go north quickly and spread the news that the Qingling formation was broken.
Zhang Xiaohe immediately stood up and said goodbye to the two of them. Xu Huaigu summoned his natal flying sword and was always ready to rise into the air.
However, before starting to arrange the rain-stopping talisman formation, Li Zi had to draw the required talisman first.
She took out the wooden talisman knife behind her back, threw a yellow paper talisman from her cuff, and threw it in the air. She waved the talisman knife at the talisman paper a few times, and a few golden threads were drawn on the talisman paper. appeared above.
The talisman knife flew in her hand, and the golden thread pattern on the talisman paper gradually became clear. Xu Huaigu looked at it very carefully and secretly admired Li Zi's skill in drawing talismans.
He also knew something about Taoist talismans. I just heard that the production process of talismans is extremely cumbersome. Not only the talisman paper has strict requirements, but also the mind of the person who draws the talisman and even the pen used to draw the talisman are the key factors to the success or failure of the talisman drawing and the quality of the talisman.
Nowadays, Li Zi does not use a pen, but uses this wooden talisman knife to draw talismans. Xu Huaigu has never seen this before, and it is also strange.
Thinking about it, this talisman knife must have a good origin. After all, Li Zi is Sun Xiang's close disciple. It is reasonable to have some good things that ordinary people don't have.
But in just a few breaths, a talisman was created. However, this set of talisman formations was cumbersome and time was tight. Without a moment's rest, Li Zi took out another piece of talisman paper and started drawing.
While Xu Huaigu was waiting, he also looked towards the place where Yang Yun and Bingfeng were fighting, only to see that Yang Yun was even more defeated and was forced into danger by Bingfeng.
Xu Huaigu was anxious, and so was Li Zi. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Drawing talismans was too damaging to her mind, so the talisman masters had to draw talismans in advance for use. Drawing talisman temporarily was laborious, not to mention drawing a set of talisman formations. ?
Fortunately, Li Zi studied this topic deeply, otherwise he would have exhausted his strength long ago. But Li Zi is still insisting.
She clenched her teeth, and the talisman's speed in her hand slowed down a lot. It seemed that every inch of movement required a lot of effort, but the golden thread on the talisman paper was still slowly lengthening, forming a golden thread pattern.
One after another, the sub-talisman was finally drawn, and the last key mother talisman was reached. Li Zi gasped for air, her face flushed, and she was almost reaching her limit.
Xu Huaigu stretched out his hand anxiously to help her, but was rejected by Li Zi with a wave of his hand. She mustered up the last of her energy, picked up the talisman knife, and began to draw the mother talisman.
The mother talisman is the foundation of the talisman array, and it also has to coordinate the functions of the sub-talisms, so it is much more complicated than the sub-talisms.
But this talisman has reached the final step, how can we give up so easily? Yang Yun was still fighting Bingfeng over there and was about to lose, and the opportunity to reverse the situation was the two of them. How could they not fight hard?
Gold lines were drawn on the talisman paper one by one. The talisman knife in Li Zi's hand was trembling. Her mouth was trembling, but she still held the knife tightly.
Xu Huaigu watched from the side, feeling distressed in vain, as if his days were like years, but he couldn't help.
Finally, the golden thread pattern on the last mother talisman gradually took shape. Just when the last stroke was written, Li Zi exhaled a big breath, his face turned pale, and the talisman knife in his hand
She fell to the ground with a "snap" and fell to the ground as if she was exhausted. Fortunately, Xu Huaigu held her in time.
Seeing Li Zi's eyelids trembling slightly, Xu Huaigu felt distressed and said, "You should have a good rest and leave the rest to me."
"No." Li Zi weakly grabbed Xu Huaigu's hand, his tone full of stubbornness,
"Take me with you. You have never set up a talisman array. How can you do it alone?" Xu Huaigu frowned and had to compromise: "Okay, then you must hold on to me." Li Zi closed his eyes and took a few breaths. , said softly: "Yes." Xu Huaigu carried Li Zi on his back, let Li Zi's hands wrap around his neck, and then stepped onto the flying sword.
Xu Huaigu swung his sword and struggled to carve a way through the dense icy pillars in the sky. The flying sword under his feet rose into the air, getting further and further away from the ground, and soon entered the clouds.
Li Zi put his head on Xu Huaigu's back, opened his eyes, looked around, and whispered: "Go southwest for a mile and a half and throw out the first talisman." Xu Huaigu did as he was told and threw out the first talisman. Throw out.
The yellow paper talisman was hanging in mid-air, and no matter how the strong wind blew, it remained still.
"Go northwest for five miles and throw out the second talisman."
"Five miles further west."
"No, not here. Go half a mile south. Yes, this is the right place."
"Eight miles east."
"Three miles southeast."
"Okay, the last one, seven miles south." Soon, all the sub-talismans were arranged, leaving only the most dangerous and last mother talisman, which needed to be placed over the center of the battlefield.
Perhaps the battle between Bingfeng and Yang Yun was too fierce, so neither side paid much attention to what was happening around them. So far, the talismans arranged by Xu Huaigu and Li Zi on the edge have gone smoothly.
It's just that the location of this last mother talisman is really dangerous. If Bingfeng notices it, the two of them may die.
Xu Huaigu stood on the flying sword, looked at the place of battle, and hesitated. Li Zi's mind was so exhausted that he felt like he was cooking wontons in his mind and couldn't turn around. At this time, he only weakly advised: "Let's go, let's take me in. After the mother talisman is arranged, , you have to rely on me to push it." Xu Huaigu looked straight at Yang Yun.
He was almost forced into a desperate situation, his two flying swords were full of scars, and his speed was much slower than before. On the other hand, Bingfeng still had endless ice for her to use.
Which one is better or worse is self-evident. Xu Huaigu murmured to himself: "Do you think it makes sense for us to do this? What if Yang Yun is still not Bingfeng's opponent if the rain stops? Even we will be implicated." Li Zi said with a helpless smile: " But if we do nothing, will our conscience be able to live with it? Asking ourselves to have a clear conscience, this is somehow... at least it has a meaning." Xu Huaigu pondered for a moment, nodded, and the flying sword continued to fly towards the center of the battle without hesitation. .
Broken ice cubes whizzed past his ears, and Xu Huaigu just waved his sword to ward them off. The closer they got to the center of the battle, the flying sword began to move more and more unstable.
Li Zi hugged his arms tighter and pressed her face tightly against his neck. The two of them could feel each other's body temperature.
Xu Huaigu had no other thoughts. He twisted the last mother talisman in his hand and flew forward with his sword. For a moment, he seemed to deeply feel the immersive feeling, like the sudden feeling of a key being inserted into a keyhole.
After all, everything is not a fantasy dream, but has become a reality. Xu Huaigu held his head high and looked into the distance.
Since he is in the world, he cannot be alone after all. This is also his war.
