Chapter 0990 Standing Tall and Strong

Zhuozhou City was built by the river. After being destroyed by fire and earth attacks, it has become a ruin. The river water backflowed and submerged most of the area. Only a relatively safe area remained in the northeast corner, including two sections of the city wall, a tower and more than a dozen courtyards.

It was quiet, without even the sound of cats and dogs.

On a mountain eight or nine miles away, Mu Xingqiu was watching quietly. This was his second time here. The first time he approached Zhuozhou City, he noticed that a large number of complex spells were arranged outside the city. He had a lot of magic power, but he didn't remember how to use it. He couldn't avoid the many restrictions set by the talisman masters, so he returned the same way and asked Fu Lin for some talismans. Now he learned the art of offering talismans.

Less than an hour between the two visits, Zhuozhou City had undergone considerable changes inside and outside. The roads and houses were destroyed beyond recognition by earth attacks. Even the mountain under Mu Xingqiu's feet was shorter. Only the northeast corner of the city remained the same.

Mu Xingqiu didn't want to force his way in. His promise was to save people, not to kill people.

He offered a paper talisman, and three moths flapped their wings and flew towards Zhuozhou City. Although the speed was slower, it was very concealed. On the way back, Mu Xingqiu had checked all the talismans and roughly guessed the purpose of each talisman. He had a feeling that these talismans seemed to waste a lot of mana and there was room for improvement, but he could only offer the original spells of the talismans now.

The three moths were on guard against each other and bypassed the invisible restrictions created by the talismans. In a safe place, they would speed up and fly at a speed that normal insects could not have.

Mu Xingqiu stood with his back against a tree, offered another matching paper talisman, closed his eyes, and the scenes from the three moths appeared in his mind in turn, and he could also command them to change direction. The scene was not very clear, as if covered by a layer of gauze, and the influence of the night made the scenery more hazy, which made Mu Xingqiu, who had a divine eye, very uncomfortable.

He decided to improve the talismans when he had the chance, so that they could exert their full power.

Looking through the cracks in the doors and windows, hundreds of mortals were imprisoned in the intact houses in Zhuozhou City, with at least three people in each room and more than ten people at most. They obviously didn't know what kind of treatment they would face. They all looked very panicked. Some held the statues of gods to pray, some hugged each other and cried, and some sat still.

The moth didn't find the guards. All the doors were unlocked, and only a paper talisman was posted outside. However, none of the prisoners tried to escape.

Mu Xingqiu controlled the moth to turn to the city wall, but still couldn't find the whereabouts of the guards. None of the dozens of talisman masters claimed by Tong Weibin were there.

A moth rose to the top of the city wall and finally saw the figure of the talisman master. It was a man in his thirties, wearing an eight-fold crown on his head. He stood in front of a four-legged square tripod and was writing on the tripod with a red pen.

The tripod is about ten feet high, and its four legs are directly cast on the copper floor of the tower. The surface is engraved with talisman patterns, with vigorous brushwork, showing a bit of ferocity. There are stools of different heights around it to facilitate the talisman master to get on and off.

Yahei Guan used a red brush to write new talisman patterns, or opened and closed them, and the talismans he wrote were as big as a bucket, as if they were carefully carved, as if he was writing in small characters.

Mu Xingqiu didn't know much about talismans, and he didn't know the scene transmitted by the moth, so he didn't know what the talisman master was doing specifically. He just roughly guessed that he was blessing the four-legged tripod. After writing, those vermilion talismans gradually seeped into the body of the tripod, leaving no trace.

After the talisman master finished writing on one side of the tripod, he put the pen and ink on a nearby table, and successively offered three paper talismans with unknown effects. After a short rest, he picked up the red pen again, held the ink tray, and walked to the other side of the tripod to continue writing talismans.

Another older seven-crown talisman master came up and asked, "Mr. Huangfu, what's wrong?"

The eight-crown talisman master put down the red pen he had just raised and said unhappily, "What else can I do? Isn't it being written? It takes time to write the talisman. Just now, there were landslides and rocks falling from the sky. It's impossible to write at all."

"Hey, I'm not here to rush you. I just want to tell you that Tong Weibin from the old military fort hasn't sent back any information for a long time. I'm afraid there are changes ahead."

"My job is to write talismans. If there is something, you guys should block it first. What's the point of telling me?" This Huangfu talisman master was unmoved when writing the talisman. He usually has a bad temper.

The corners of the Seven Crowns' mouth twitched twice. He didn't dare to get angry in front of him. He said "It's up to you", turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed a moth. He slowly loosened his hand, watched the moth turn into ashes, and said coldly: "It's pretty fast. It's already here.

Huangfu Fushi didn't care about this matter. He picked up the pen and said: "The blood and ink are running out. It must be replenished before dawn tomorrow. Also, don't scare these people half to death. What I want is the spirit of 'standing tall and upright', not being afraid of death. Mo Yuan's mood will directly affect the effect of the talisman. "

"There will be blood and ink." The Seven Crowns replied coldly. He had already offered three talismans in succession in his hand to notify other companions and find the whereabouts of the enemy.

With a loud bang, it was obvious that someone had broken through the ban outside the city. Huangfu Fushi's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and he almost wrote a useless stroke on the tripod. An angry look appeared on his face, "Zheng Tianyuan, don't be lazy when it's your turn to work. I didn't pull you in to watch the fun. "

The seven-layer crown talisman master Zheng Tianyuan looked even more gloomy, but he did not dare to act rashly. The talisman master Huangfu was of higher status than him, and was writing a crucial talisman. Even the great talisman master of the nine-layer crown did not dare to offend this person. He could only endure it, offer the talisman and fly up to fight the intruder.

One moth was destroyed. Mu Xingqiu was observing the situation through the other two moths when he heard a bang. He couldn't see clearly with the moth, so he turned out from behind the tree and looked towards the city with his third eye, only to see the guard. Que and ten of the Holy Talisman Army have flown to the edge of the city, and it looks like they are going to force their way through.

Mu Xingqiu's location was far away from the official road, and Shou Que and others did not see him at all.

Shou Que flew too fast. After breaking through the restriction, he flew some distance before stopping. He was startled first and immediately landed on the ruins on the ground. He turned over and jumped behind the ten people. "You go ask Mu... If Feidian is in the city, please speak politely and tell them that we are not here to cause trouble. "

Fu Lin was surprised again. He thought that the guarded girl was so powerful, but he didn't expect that she was less courageous than him, acted carelessly, and didn't know how to avoid the restrictions.

The weapons and armor of the nine soldiers had been discarded, and only Fu Lin's armor was still there, so he pulled out the Fulu sword from his waist to embolden himself.

Zheng Tianyuan, the seventh-level crown talisman master, flew out of Zhuozhou City and saw such a small group of people. Only the leader held a weapon in his hand, and the others didn't even have armor. As for the guard, he didn't see it at all.

Zheng Tianyuan landed on the half-remaining roof of a house, more than a hundred steps away. He put his hands behind his back and gave a short sneer, "The emperor's grandson is here, and Zhuozhou City is not far away to welcome him. Please forgive me. The world is in such chaos, Fu family We don’t have many grandsons left, so you shouldn’t run out.”

"Zheng Tianyuan, I won't talk nonsense to you. Where are the laborers you captured from nearby villages and towns? Release them." Fu Lin saw no traces of the battle, so he guessed that his benefactor might not have arrived yet, or he might be hiding in the dark. appeared, so his name will not be mentioned for the time being.

Shou Que stayed behind without making a sound, holding his breath to resist the fragrance of the soul.

"You really impress me, Fu Lin, let me guess... you feel that you have escaped the fire attack and the earth attack one after another, and you have survived the catastrophe. It seems that you are protected by the gods, and you can inherit the imperial lineage from now on, right?"

"Humanity is facing an unprecedented crisis. The imperial line is not important, nor is Long Binhui. The people are the most important. You can be loyal to anyone. I hope you will not harm the people." Fu Lin said very sincerely, but he expected There is absolutely no good intention when it comes to the talisman masters recruiting young men and women.

Zheng Tianyuan looked at Fu Lin up and down, "Is there any difference between the blood of the royal family and that of ordinary people?"

"What?"

"We are writing the Talisman of Indomitable Heaven and Earth, and we need a little blood."

"What!" A chill rose from the soles of Fu Lin's feet to the top of his head and lingered for a long time. He was silent for a while before saying, "Is Huangfu Yanghao here?"

"Of course, only he can write the talisman of indomitability." Zheng Tianyuan said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Mr. Huangfu is the best talisman writer in the world. He has been frustrated for many years in Longbinhui. It was only at the insistence of his predecessor, Chief Xin, that he was awarded the eighth level crown. I didn't expect... Alas, he would fall into your hands. ”

"You think highly of us. Huangfu Yanghao voluntarily joined and wrote talismans, but no one forced him. Instead, he always forced us to collect fresh ink everywhere. You came at the right time. The blood of the royal family may not be anything special, but it is worth it. Just give it a try. The fact that you can go all the way here and pass Tong Weibin’s level shows that you have some abilities and are quite courageous—just the person we need most.”

Fu Lin shook his head. He was not worried about his own safety. "I don't believe Mr. Huangfu would do such a thing voluntarily. You must have forced him."

"Idiot, Huangfu Yanghao only has the word 'writing talismans' in his heart. He has written almost all talismans in his life, with the exception of the indomitable talisman. Now that he finally has the opportunity, how can he miss it?"

"Once the talisman of standing tall on the sky and the earth is completed, and the corpse is lying thousands of miles away, don't you want to live too?"

Zheng Tianyuan showed a disdainful smile, "We have our own way. As for you, raise your sword and let me see if the descendants of Prince Fu still have any spirit of 'standing upright'?"

Fu Lin did have some courage in his heart, not much, but enough to make him raise his sword with both hands, ready to fight the opponent's talisman.

Zheng Tianyuan waved his hand and offered up the first paper talisman. When he saw that Fu Lin had passed Tong Weibin's level, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy. What he offered was a three-section divine weapon talisman. The spell was simple, just a flying knife, but it had great power. Extremely, he wanted to arouse Fu Lin's stronger fighting spirit before collecting blood, so he slowed down a little.

Fu Lin gritted his teeth and took it hard. The veteran behind him suddenly put his hand on his back, and a strange force entered his meridians. Before he could understand what was going on, he could not help but swing his sword and hit the flying knife. , not only blocked the attack, but also bounced it back at a faster speed.

Zheng Tianyuan was so shocked that he had no time to counterattack with the sacrifice talisman, so he had to turn over and jump off the roof, looking quite embarrassed.

The flying knife was out of control and hit the city wall, breaking down a large piece of masonry.

Zheng Tianyuan was furious and was about to kill him when a cold voice came from the air, "Better blood is behind, what do you care about with him?"

Zheng Tianyuan replied in a very respectful voice: "Thank you, Grandmaster, for your guidance."

Fu Lin's heart trembled, and he finally understood why these Fu Lu masters were so confident: there was a Taoist master behind them.
