Before leaving, Qi Xuansu specifically searched for the dragon ball of the flying boat. As long as the dragon ball was still there, it would not be difficult for Tianji Hall to rebuild a flying boat afterwards. However, nothing was found. It may have been swallowed by the Yamata no Orochi.
While looking for someone, he could feel huge vibrations from time to time, as if a wild beast was walking on the ground. This should be the sound made by the Yamata no Orochi, which made Qi Xuansu particularly nervous. Fortunately, it did not come this way. After the search was over, Qi Xuansu immediately led a few people in the opposite direction of the tremor. They walked for more than 200 miles before the tremor gradually became less audible.
Qi Xuansu felt that this matter was a bit strange. This was a relatively stable route. There had been flying boats back and forth several times. How could he encounter the Yamata no Orochi? When planning the route, Daomen will deliberately avoid these dangerous places. Either someone has lured the Yamata no Orochi to this place, or there is something wrong with the person controlling the flying boat.
But now is not the time to verify this, the key is to find the location of the Taoist army as soon as possible.
Qi Xuansu rescued five people in total. Except for Han Yongfeng at the beginning, the other four people were Li Mingshan from the Ancestral Hall, Lu Yuting from the Huasheng Hall, Tang Yongshui from the Tianji Hall, and Tiangang???????????? ???Tang Qian Daren.
Several of them were at the level of chief executive. After all, those with low cultivation levels couldn't bear the fall from such a high place and died on the spot. Those who were able to survive were all with good cultivation levels. Since their cultivation levels were good, then their positions It won't be any lower.
These people were imbued with divine power by Qi Xuansu and already had basic mobility. Unfortunately, they did not have Wu Zhu. A halfway monk like Qi Xuansu, a Wu Zhu who had become a monk, could only forcefully imbue them with divine power. If they were replaced by Wu Zhu trained by a Taoist sect, they would actually have many treatment methods. .
However, Lu Yuting from Huashengtang was proficient in medical science and found a lot of elixirs from the wreckage of the flying boat. After all, it was wartime, so there was a complete range of healing elixirs. After sorting them, they were distributed to everyone.
Li Mingshan of the ancestral hall is proficient in Japanese, which is very useful for those who are not familiar with the place. In fact, when Qi Xuansu was studying in the palace, he was also asked to learn a foreign language. Qi Xuansu finally chose the Western Rune language. Firstly, he had learned a little bit from Arthur, which gave him some basic knowledge. Secondly, he could also understand it. Well, it is the West that can truly compete with Taoism, and this language is more useful.
As for Tang Yongshui and Qian Daren, they are of little use for the time being. However, they were born in Quanzhen Taoism and Zhengyi Tao respectively. They are naturally close to Qi Xuansu, especially Qian Daren, who was born in Tiangang Hall. If we discuss this in detail, it will always be ridiculous. The relationship between one and two.
After temporarily leaving the dangerous situation, Qi Xuansu convened a few people for a temporary meeting, mainly to discuss the issue of returning to camp.
Several people were very worried about the current situation and expressed their willingness to follow Qi Xuansu's arrangements.
It is true that Qi Xuansu also has a detailed map of Fenglinzhou with him, but the heavy fog that filled the sky earlier made him wonder where he is now. The top priority right now is to determine where you are before you can plan a route back to camp. It's easy to determine where you are, just find a populated place and you'll know by asking.
This also involves a problem. Although the physical characteristics of the Central Plains people and the Fenglinzhou people are not very different, and they are not as different as Westerners, but after all, there are many differences in details. They are not the same at a glance. Even the Taoist aura that he has cultivated over the years cannot pretend to be a commoner. The robes and cloak he wears make it clear at a glance that he is a member of the Taoist sect.
Even if they are willing to change their clothes, adult men in Fenglinzhou like to shave their heads into a Tsukiyo style, that is, semi-bald, leaving only the hair at the back. They can't cut off their buns, not to mention the physical pain of Confucianism. It is undoubtedly a shame for people in the Taoist sect to behave like their parents, and it is absolutely impossible, so it is not difficult to distinguish them.
Nowadays, the situation in Fenglinzhou is very complicated. Those who recognize the Fenglinzhou court will be friendly to the Taoist sect. Those who recognize the local lords will be very hostile to the Taoist sect and may not be willing to cooperate.
Daomen repeatedly reiterated the rules before the war. Daomen is a civilized teacher. You can fight in any way on the frontal battlefield. In private, you are not allowed to plunder property, rape other people's wives and daughters, or kill people and set fires indiscriminately. If anyone violates it, he will be punished by military law once discovered.
Now we can only hope that they fall within the sphere of influence of the Fenglinzhou court.
After walking about another three hundred miles, they had left the mountainous area and came to the relatively open plains. They still saw no human habitation, but unexpectedly encountered a group of ronin.
As soon as this group of ronin saw the Taoist costumes of several people, they drew their swords without saying a word.
The sword used by the ronin is somewhat similar to the horizontal sword, but it is longer. Moreover, the Japanese pirates do not distinguish between swords. They clearly use swords, but they insist on saying It's a sword.
The situation is already very clear, this should be the territory of the local feudal lord.
Several subordinates narrowly escaped death and were injured, so Qi Xuansu had no choice but to take action himself.
To be fair, these ronin have some abilities. According to the realm of the Taoist sect, the leader can be at the Kunlun stage, and there are a few holding fire blunderbuss. It is a pity that they met Qi Xuansu, a heavenly being, and before they could react, they were killed one by one by Qi Xuansu. Smashed the head.
There was only one leader left, whose neck was pinched by Qi Xuansu, and the long wild sword in his hand fell to the ground, unable to move.
Qi Xuansu originally wanted to use "Chaos God", but people who have been hit by "Chaos God" are confused and can only carry out some simple instructions, and may not be able to ask what they want to know, so he waved Lu Yuting over.
Lu Yuting was an alchemist, and she survived thanks to a protective treasure she had. Physical injuries have little impact on the alchemist.
Qi Xuansu ordered: "He is a person who deserves to die, so don't worry, just use the soul search method."
If this were the Central Plains, the method of searching for souls would be a taboo method and should not be used casually. However, if you put it in Fenglinzhou, you don’t need to be so particular about it. The key point is that these rogues are not even common people. In addition, they dare to take the initiative to draw their swords and attack Taoist priests. Not unfair at all.
Lu Yuting did not hesitate, directly stretched out her hand to press on the man's heavenly spirit, and began to use magic power.
After a moment, Lu Yuting retracted her palm and reported to Qi Xuansu: "Deputy Hall Master, we are now in Izumo County, Izumo Country."
"The place where the Yamata no Orochi hangs out is indeed the Izumo Kingdom." Qi Xuansu was not very surprised. He took out a map and unfolded it. The map clearly marked the cities and battle houses of each clan, as well as the areas controlled by the Fenglinzhou court. Different colors distinguish.
The other people gathered around the map, and Li Mingshan looked bitter: "There is no Prime Minister's power in the entire ten counties of Izumo Country. Instead, we are very close to Matsue Castle in Shimane County, only separated by a river."
What Qi Xuansu is best at is doing his homework in advance, knowing his enemies and friends, and he can survive a hundred battles. After entering the training realm and being reborn, his memory is far better than that of ordinary people. Take a rough look.
He said slowly: "The feudal lords of the Matsue clan are the Horio clan, the Kyogoku clan, and the Echizen Matsudaira clan, and the feudal hall is Matsue Castle. In the eighth year of the Taiping Period of the Great Gen, after the Battle of Hoolinsu Sekihara, 120,000 people from the Toe Kingdom Hamamatsu The stone lord Horio Yoshiharuo moved to the two countries of Izumo and Oki. The stone is 240,000 stones high. It was originally called Izumo Tomita Domain. Matsue Castle and the castle town were built in the 15th year of the Taiping Period. In the 19th year of the Taiping Period, Matsue Castle was built. Because the feudal lord Tadharu was ruled by the Kyogoku clan because he had no sons to succeed him. Twenty-two years later, Kyogoku Tadaka, the lord of the Obama Domain, moved the title to Matsue and increased the title to 240,000 koku. Although some people within the Taoist clan clamored that it would take three months We can defeat Fenglinzhou, but it’s difficult for just a few of us to shake the Songjiang clan, so it’s better to avoid it.”
Qian Daren pointed at the map and said: "The closest prime minister's power is located in Hita County, Bungo Kingdom, which is Hita Castle."
Han Yongfeng said happily: "This Fenglinzhou is not as big as our Xizhou, and it is divided into so many countries. The status of a country is almost equivalent to a state in our Central Plains, right? The territory is not big, but the reputation is not small, and the tone is bigger. No wonder There is also an emperor in the land of dimensions.”
Qi Xuansu stared at the map: "We start from Izumo County, pass through Shenmen County, then go to Iishi County, pass through Jiuzhu County, arrive at Hita County, and go to Hita Castle. Note that there is a battle house named Mori in Jiuzhu County. "
The formation house is not a city, but can be understood as a barracks, stronghold or checkpoint.
Lu Yuting suggested: "We try to avoid cities and villages and take the wilderness mountain roads. This should save a lot of trouble."
Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "That's it. If you encounter a small group of enemies, leave no one behind and destroy the corpses. If you are a commoner, as long as they have not attacked us, use some magic means to erase the memory and save a life. We are not Japanese pirates. You can't be like the Japanese pirates and do nothing."
Qi Xuansu is half an expert in concealing his whereabouts. Moreover, with his higher status, he thinks about things from a different perspective than before. He has to consider the impact. Daomen has repeatedly reiterated civilization, explaining that Daomen is not just plundering and leaving like the Jinzhang in the past, but is going to continue to rule Fenglinzhou. , not wanting to further intensify the conflict. It's one thing to kill lords and warriors, but it's another thing to kill ordinary people. Of course, if ordinary people help the tyrants to commit crimes, they should not let them go and must do their best to eradicate evil.
If the strength of both sides is roughly equal, the war will definitely not be fought like this. However, when the gap between the two sides is huge, Daomen can really talk about the word "civilization".
Without Qi Xuansu's orders, Lu Yuting took the initiative to come to Ronin's body, took out a porcelain bottle, opened the cork, and sprinkled some unknown liquid on the body.
I could only hear the hissing sound from the corpse, a faint smoke rising, and then yellow water flowed out. The smoke became thicker, and more and more yellow water flowed out, giving off a sour and burnt odor, even the clothes were the same, and finally only There was only a piece of "yellow soup" left.
Not all Taoist methods are upright. After all, they can create three major evil objects. Just looking at the appearance of Master Wan, you can tell that Huashengtang has done a lot of research on methods such as raising corpses. Lu Yuting is from Huashengtang, so it is not surprising to have such a thing.
Han Yongfeng and others buried the yellow water with soil, and also buried the remaining weapons. These dead objects have no peculiar smell and are difficult to detect.
Bungo Kingdom is located to the south of Izumo Kingdom, so the group headed south instead.
