"It's getting dark soon? What do you mean?"
In the market square of Yelu City, Zhong Cheng couldn't help but be confused when he heard what Li Kuan said without any reason.
Li Chuan said: "Zhong Baihu, do you know the four craftsmen of the Northern Qi Dynasty who are among the great protectors of the Demon Sect?"
"This... I know a little bit about it. They are the four great guardians of the Demon Sect in the Northern Qi Dynasty. They are divided into four craftsmen: wood, stone, gold and silver. Each of them has corresponding weird treasures and famous inheritance. .
These demons have been active many years ago and have committed many evil deeds against the imperial court. They have always been important figures on the sea arrest list, but the specific details of each are always confusing because their whereabouts Secret, barely showing his true identity. "
After he answered this, he suddenly raised his head, his face slightly condensed.
"Why do you suddenly mention them, sir? Could it be that...these people from the Demon Cult are here?"
"Yes, they are already here, in this city."
"How do you know?" Zhong Cheng was startled, but then he remembered that the cunning methods were strange and unusual, and it was not surprising that the high-level officials had some special treasures in their hands.
Sure enough, Li Fan knew: "The department has special means and can predict the future to a certain extent, so it knows that they will appear and want to thwart our plan."
"Then, what should we do?"
Zhong Cheng was greatly shocked. It took him a while to digest the meaning behind Li Chuan's words, and he woke up like a dream.
This is indeed a serious problem. It is already difficult to deal with the evil spirits alone, but if some people from the evil sect come out, it will definitely make it worse.
If one thing goes wrong, Yelu City will really be doomed!
"Don't make any noise for now, let's think of a way together to see if we can find them."
"This...can't the imperial court's method of predicting the future directly reveal their whereabouts?"
"The so-called predicting the future is essentially just the use of strange power, an illusion created by strange magic. The results are often vague and distorted.
In addition, the rules of inheritance of the title of the Great Protector of the Demon Sect have led to frequent changes in the candidates. Some of the Great Protectors even only served for two or three years before dying. For the Demon Sect, they are nothing more than cheap consumables.
Except for a few powerful and powerful people who are well known to the court, other people with a large turnover of personnel are often not known until they commit crimes.
Therefore, apart from knowing the other party's name, I really don't know anything else at the moment. "
"Then... I have an immature idea, but I don't know if it will be useful."
Zhong Cheng pondered for a moment and suggested tentatively.
"You can speak freely," Li Ao encouraged.
"Let's assume that the four demon sect demons also don't know the exact time of the cloth demon's rebirth, and they must also be paying attention to us."
"It seems to be true. According to the prophecy, they only started causing trouble in the rear after the cloth demon was reborn, and had no intention of doing anything in advance."
"Then we can definitely try to scare the snake away. For example, we can find some big flags and write the four characters wood, stone, gold, and silver on them to make it more mysterious.
Because the power of treachery is unpredictable, they cannot be sure whether it is a means that can really cause harm to them, so they must find a way to come out to check. If you ambush them in secret, it is very likely that you will catch them all.
But in this way, it will be possible to advance the decisive battle. If the opponent is too strong, nothing can be changed..."
What he didn't say was that if Li Ao was not strong enough and fell into the hands of those four people, it might even cause the situation to collapse in advance, or even make matters worse.
Because no matter what the resourcefulness means, it ultimately depends on strength.
If in the predicted future, the four great protectors of the demon sect took advantage of the situation and took advantage of it, it would be possible to reverse the situation.
If the opponent uses his strength to defeat him openly, there will be no way to save him.
Before the strange incident broke out, it would have been a fool's errand to think that just four people could overwhelm the imperial army.
Even going back to a month ago, the tide of strange resurgence has not yet arrived. The abilities and methods of the aliens have obviously not reached that inhuman state. It is difficult to defeat many with one person.
But after the recovery night, things seemed to gradually change.
The abilities of some evil spirits are increasing at an incredible speed, and with that, the aliens are also increasing.
As if overnight, the entire Daqian Dynasty entered a truly strange era.
Nowadays, no one has a wide understanding of this kind of thing, but as the so-called duck prophet of spring river water warms, the aliens in the Demon Suppressing Division are more or less mentally prepared for this kind of thing.
Zhong Cheng was not very familiar with Li Fan's skills and temperament, and was unable to make accurate judgments at all, so he was cautious when making suggestions.
If this was replaced by another person with a deep city, he would probably just hide his stupidity and say nothing.
If he wanted to speak less, make fewer mistakes, and protect himself wisely, there was nothing Li Chu could do.
It can be seen that the subjective initiative of subordinates is still related to the charisma of Shangguan. If Li Ao hadn't impressed him with his vigorous and resolute actions last night, he would not have taken the initiative to offer suggestions.
"I think it will work. No matter what the abilities and methods of those four people are, I should be able to fight."
Li Fan also knew the difficulties of these people below, nodded and gave a positive response.
Soon after, Zhong Cheng sent people to find white flags on all sides according to his previous suggestion, and wrote the four characters of wood, stone, gold and silver on them, pretending to set up an altar, and performed a great dance.
One of the people on the day shift under him happened to be a former quack magician. He returned to his old profession and did a decent job.
The man didn't know why Zhong Baihu asked him to do this. He also found a big black dog in a decent manner. After killing it, he dipped it in blood and sprinkled it on the flag, making it mysterious and terrifying.
In the corner, the four great guardians of the Demon Sect saw this and were really shocked and angry.
"What are they doing? Is this a way to win?"
Among the weird and strange arts, there is definitely no shortage of means of cursing through the air. The fact that the other party actually knows their names quickly breaks through the psychological defense line.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for the other party to write the four characters "wood, stone, gold and silver" for no reason.
The sickly noble young master was the "goldsmith" one of the four craftsmen. He stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive. This may be a trick to lure us out."
"It's already this time, are you still talking nonsense? Don't let that demon jump again, otherwise you will regret it!"
The girl "Silver Smith" had already been waiting impatiently. When she saw this, she felt that it would be more straightforward to just jump out and kill him cleanly, so she immediately came out of her hiding place.
Seeing this, the other three had no choice but to follow.
Because there were defenders blocking the entrance, unfamiliar faces could not enter. The old man "Carpenter" muttered something and suddenly pointed to a long wooden stick on the side of the road.
The wooden stick immediately turned into a spear, floated out of the air, and stabbed into the heart of the human heart.
