After Liang Xingyang heard Taoist Master Qianhe explain the purpose of the spiritual mist barrier, he didn't throw the thing back. This kind of magic weapon was indeed what he needed most at the moment. He could use it to protect dozens of children from poisonous snakes and beasts. threat, he will be able to walk further next time in search of food.
"I thanked the Taoist Priest for them!" Liang Xingyang raised his hands to the sky in thanks.
Taoist Master Qianhe looked at the children again and warned sternly: "I'm giving you the magic weapon so that you can take better care of them. I will come back to you after I finish the work in a few days. If I find that even one of them is damaged." , I will never forgive you!"
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted the crane's head. The crane flapped its wings and flew quickly to the west, quickly disappearing from the horizon.
Liang Xingyang has been practicing for two generations, and his character has been honed long ago. He doesn't care what the other party says. He cast a spell to refine the spiritual mist barrier. According to the method taught by Taoist Master Qianhe, the sacrifice was quickly successful.
The Spiritual Mist Barrier is a very famous magic weapon of the Baiyang Sect. It is made by collecting the mist in the valley in the early morning using immortal methods. The more mist collected, the more powerful it will be. After each disciple starts, he will go through the Qi training period and enter the foundation building period. , the first thing to do is to refine the sword, and the second thing is to refine the spiritual mist barrier. One for offense and one for defense. It is very useful for practicing fighting skills and going out to collect medicine.
With the injection of true energy, the spiritual mist barrier surged and spread rapidly, covering an area the size of acres on the hillside. Within the mist, the mist filled the air so thickly that it was difficult to see even one's fingers. Moreover, the mist developed colloidal properties after being refined, It can stick to block all invading foreign objects.
"It is indeed a very good magic weapon." Liang Xingyang deduced the sacrificial method of this thing based on the usage mentioned by Taoist Master Qianhe. Those manipulation techniques have the effect of astringing the mist. He thought about it and studied it further. It's definitely not possible for him to refine another ball out of thin air, but it should still be possible to collect mist and continuously inject it to increase its power and volume.
There is a difference between sheep and humans, and an even greater difference between lambs and human babies.
A lamb walks on four legs. Even if it is weak, it can walk very steadily. It is not easy to stumble and it is easy to get up if it falls. Human babies walk on two legs, even if they are seven or eight years old, walking in a dense forest full of thorns. Zhongya stumbled.
The most troublesome thing is that the little lambs can only bleat, but the human babies howl, the sound is high and sharp, the howl can be heard far on the mountain top, and the howl can be loud in the valley.
Thirty-six children were wailing to go home and find their father and mother. One cry led everyone to cry together. Later, they became more and more courageous, and howled louder and louder in competition.
Liang Xingyang's heart was as solid as a rock. Thunder could not shake him, and he did not feel irritated even when he was surrounded by cries and howls.
These children are different from those in Quzhou. The power of the Golden Lantern Sect in Quzhou has not yet been able to control the whole situation. There are a large number of prefects, county magistrates, aristocratic families and rangers in various places who do not recognize the Golden Lantern Sect. The power exists, and the Golden Lantern Sect does not dare to allow believers to directly contribute their children as sacrifices for the lamp worship ceremony.
Liangzhou has been completely tamed by the Golden Lantern Sect. Most of the people have been brainwashed, and they have been very clean and pure. In order to prove the piety of the believers, the Golden Lantern masters asked the believers to contribute their children, so that they can "break away from the separation". , get rid of the rope of work, and worship the golden lamp cleanly." It is about the children running towards the light first, without having to continue to suffer in the world, attaining enlightenment earlier than them, and in the future, they will achieve righteousness in the bright world, and they can also "drive Cihang backwards. "Returning to guide and rescue them is also a good thing for the children.
Therefore, the children in Quzhou were robbed or abducted by the Golden Lantern Warriors and could be sent home to reunite with their parents. However, this was not possible for those in Liangzhou. They were personally given to the Golden Lantern Cult by their parents. Although they didn't know that they would turn into sheep and be eaten, in their impression, they were to accept sacrifices and their souls would return to the light. If they were sent back, they would be regarded as "abandoning the light and turning to darkness", which is a crime comparable to apostasy. There is a high probability that his parents will send him to the altar and be burned to death to prove his innocence.
But these words are incomprehensible to these children.
Liang Xingyang looked up at the sky. The weather today was quite good. The sky was blue and white, with a few white clouds floating in it.
Caigen did not cry. He crawled on the ground and carried two colorful caterpillars on a tree stick to Liang Xingyang: "Brother, bake them and eat them! Bake them and eat them! I want to eat them!"
"This thing can't be eaten." Liang Xingyang took the stick and threw it far away. "Don't grab the bugs in it casually, be careful of the poison. Are you hungry? I'll kill some birds for you!"
He flew into the woods, caught two pheasants, washed and skinned them with stream water, and roasted them over the fire when he came back.
Children who are full of energy will cry endlessly, and the more they cry, the harder they cry. However, if no one pays attention to them and other things attract their attention, the crying can be stopped quickly. Liang Xingyang knows this well. When he was a child, Cai Gen also often cries.
These "little lambs" have been eating grass since they were sacrificed to the Golden Lantern Sect by their parents. They only had fruits to eat after following Liang Xingyang. Now that they smell the aroma of roasted chicken, their stomachs are growling with greed, and they all stop one after another. They stopped crying and gathered around the fire.
After Liang Xingyang roasted the meat, he first tore one chicken wing and gave it to Cai Gen, and then tore the rest into pieces and distributed them to the other children.
Two chickens were not enough for the thirty-six children. Only eleven got the meat and ate it voraciously. Liang Xingyang told them: "From now on, if you are obedient, you will have meat to eat. If you can only cry, you will be hungry." .”
After hearing this, some of the children who had not eaten the chicken were so aggrieved that they flattened their mouths and started to cry. Others picked up the chicken bones that others had thrown to the ground after chewing and bit them. Liang Xingyang just pretended not to see them.
In the evening, Liang Xingyang brought back a mountain wolf and roasted the meat. This time, no children cried or made any noise. They all lined up obediently to get the meat. One wolf didn't finish it, so every child ate it. Very full.
He took these children over mountains and ridges and continued to walk west. Most of the time, the wind took them off the ground at night, and they rarely walked on their feet.
One day when he came to a river, he caught a tree anaconda snake and roasted it for the children to eat. Seeing that the anaconda was very brave, he wanted to find some herbs to make pills for the children to eat. Increases strength, strengthens muscles and bones, and also encourages courage.
He asked a few of his most useful children to watch the fire, and then he went into the forest to look for the herbs he had just seen. Suddenly, a thief eagle flew from the sky. The eagle's wings were more than two feet wide, and its feathers were dark brown. It was neat and tidy, with sharp barbs on its mouth, and sharp and shining eyes. The most peculiar thing was that it had an extra strange claw on its chest. A total of three claws seemed to be made of gold.
The eagle saw that Liang Xingyang was not easy to mess with. It stood motionless on the cliff in the distance, its sharp eyes flashing with cold light, staring closely at this side. It waited patiently for Liang Xingyang to enter the forest before it finally spread its wings, like a bird. Zhi Li Xian swooped down from mid-air, reached the river bank, opened his claws, grabbed the two children and flew into the air.
"What a big bird!" The herbs Liang Xingyang wanted to pick were not far from the river bank. He had seen them before when he was catching anacondas, so he did not open the spiritual mist barrier. He saw a goshawk flying in the forest and pounced on it. By the river, I was surprised, so I hurriedly raised my feet to catch the wind, and climbed over the towering tree canopy. The eagle had already grabbed a child with its claws and started flying again. The two boys were dug into their vests by the eagle's claws, and they were so painful. Cry loudly.
