The sound of drums was noisy and loud, echoing over the wilderness and getting closer.
The welcoming team consisted of more than a hundred men. Everyone was smiling and wearing colorful clothes. Some were playing gongs and drums, and some were holding torches.
The firelight was shadowy, and with the faint light, Li Ang and Pei Jing could vaguely see a groom official riding a horse in the middle of the wedding team, wearing a red shirt, a white underskirt, and black boots.
Jiang Gongfu.
Li Ang and Pei Jing looked at each other, their hearts sinking.
Jianggong uniform is a dark red public uniform, usually worn by lower-ranking officials.
The law of Yu stipulates that when ordinary people get married, they can wear a dress that is higher than their real grade, that is, "shesheng", to show the government's attitude of encouraging marriage.
Due to the custom of "taking photos", Jianggong suit is the most common groom's dress among the people.
It's just that the one worn by the groom's official body seems to be a little unscrupulous - it has a pattern of a luan holding a long ribbon.
"Welcome team?"
Only then did He Fanshuang, who had poor eyesight, see clearly. He moved his fingers to make a talisman pop up from the talisman plate on his right wrist, and held it in his palm.
The one who comes is not good.
Although the Yu people have a custom of welcoming brides at night, there is no village in front of this place, no shop in the back, and it is still along the railway line, so it is impossible for ordinary people to pass by.
The passengers in the carriage also heard the noisy drum music and crowded into the aisle in panic, talking and asking questions.
"Everyone, please be patient!"
Pei Jing immediately turned around and said loudly: "I am Pei Jing, a student of the academy for three years, and my father is the minister of the state of Yu, Zuo Pushe. These two are my classmates in the academy. Now this carriage is in a little trouble. .
We also ask everyone to return to their respective compartments, lock their compartment doors, pull down the window curtains, and ring the Haotian Bell.
No matter what noise you hear, no matter what sound you hear outside the window or door, do not open the door or close the curtains!
We will protect you. "
Passengers who can sit in the 19th luxury car at night are often rich or noble, and naturally know some rumors about the mutation, and can recognize that the decorations of the three people do belong to the academy.
And Shangshu Zuopushe, plus the surname Pei, is also convincing enough.
The panic in the aisle suddenly stopped, and the passengers hesitantly returned to their compartments and followed Pei Jing's instructions.
"Shiro?"
The guards of the Pei family walked through the aisle and came forward, holding Pei Jing's younger brother who still didn't know what was going on.
"You take Shichiro and enter the cubicle as well."
Pei Jing spoke quickly to the guards: "Deploy the warning talismans. Even if you hear my voice later, don't open the door."
After that, he looked at an old man in brocade clothes behind the guards and said solemnly to him: "Wan Lao, please stay and help me."
"Um."
The old man known as Wan Lao nodded slowly. He seemed to be an entourage sent by the Pei Jing family to protect him. There was no spiritual energy fluctuation in his body, just like a rich man - except for the thick layer of calluses on his ten fingers and the back of his hands. Old scars.
Li Ang was surprised but not that surprised. Half a year had passed since the academic exchange, and Pei Jing had followed in the footsteps of Li Ang and He Fanshuang, reaching the high level of Listening to the Rain Realm.
This level still requires a guard, which can only be a monk in the Xunyun realm - it is impossible in the Zhuxiao realm. Pei Jing is not sure about inheriting the entire family business.
Pei Jing seemed to have misunderstood Li Ang's subtle expression, and explained: "Qilang is my half-brother. He has been staying at my grandparents' house in Luoyang all year round. He recently showed his talent for cultivation, so he asked me to take him back to Chang'an."
He Fanshuang narrowed his eyes and said, "Heavenly Enlightenment?"
"Um."
Pei Jing nodded.
Those who are young and have not carried out any systematic cultivation, but are able to influence the aura of heaven and earth with their talents, are Tianjue.
If ordinary people practice cultivation, they need to tap into the potential of the sea of qi just like digging a reservoir.
So the Qi sea of the Heavenly Awakened One has been developed innately to a large extent. In the early stages of practice, the speed is much faster than ordinary people.
In ancient times, Heavenly Awakeners emerged one after another, reaching their peak during the Jin Dynasty. However, as the "pure-blood" families gradually disappeared, the frequency of Heavenly Awakeners' appearance became less and less, and there have been no examples for a long, long time.
It is really rare for the Pei family to have such a person.
Li Ang glanced at the closed door and said nothing more. Now is not the time to talk about this.
"Four?"
A middle-aged man wearing a simple robe approached, holding a waistband in his hand, "I am Sun Xinzhi, the magistrate of the Duji District of the Zhenfu Division, and one of the conductors accompanying this train."
Conductor?
Li Ang glanced at the waistband in the middle-aged man's hand. There was nothing wrong with the patterns on it. It was a certificate from the Zhenfu Department.
Pei Jing frowned and asked, "Why didn't you say anything just now?"
Sun Xinzhi explained: "I didn't know the status of the incident just now, and I am worried that there is another reason for the mutation..."
The sound of drums and the wedding procession were getting closer and closer, interrupting Sun Xinzhi's words.
The distance between the two sides was only about two hundred steps.
You can clearly see the appearance of the groom in the middle of the wedding team.
He was handsome, with a smile on his face, and his face looked as if too much makeup had been applied, giving it a greasy texture.
"We can't let them get any closer."
Li Ang said immediately. The visitor was evil, and they couldn't move this carriage, which weighed more than 20 tons. They also had to consider the passengers inside and whether there were other enemies peeking in secretly.
You must find a way to stop the opponent.
Li Ang stepped out of the carriage and raised his right arm toward the sky.
call out--
On the wrist of his right hand, the ingenious crossbow that had not appeared for a long time was revealed again.
The machine rebounded heavily and shot a crossbow arrow wrapped in talismans over the welcoming team.
Boom!
The talisman started on its own in mid-air, forming a round fireball. In addition to being huge, it also set off turbulent air currents.
The wedding team was blown by the air current, and their clothes rustled violently, but no one stopped, and everyone headed towards the carriage in unison.
call out--
Another talisman arrow exploded above the wedding team, but there was still no response.
As if they didn't notice the huge light, loud noise, or the threat of death, these people walked on by themselves, constantly shortening the distance between them.
"Let me do it."
He Fanshuang held an earthen talisman between his two fingers and threw it into the wind.
The railway used materials similar to those of the palace walls, which could resist the effects of spells to a certain extent. Therefore, He Fanshuang's target was not the railway track, but the muddy ground next to the railway track.
When the soil talisman falls on the ground, the surrounding soil immediately melts into mud.
Li Ang understood instantly, released his telekinesis, and drove the mud to cover the surface of the railway, accumulating it into an upward slope to form a road.
Bypassing the carriage they were in, connecting directly to the rear rails.
However, the wedding team stepped over the sloping slope, ignored the newly paved road, and walked straight towards the carriage.
