Exorcism

Jiehe River is not a big river, and its surface is no more than a mile wide. A stone bridge spans both banks, connecting Duanliu City to the west and a military camp to the east.

Huang Duwei was in his forties, not tall but very muscular. Under the fat he still had the muscles he had developed in his youth. He pointed to the military camp on the other side and said, "That's the Dongjie Kingdom's garrison. There are probably thousands of them." If we can get their help, we will be a new force, but this matter is difficult to handle. We had a dispute with Dongjie Kingdom thousands of years ago, so we built a city for defense. We swore an oath at the beginning that we would never let it go. Dong Jieguo came over with soldiers, alas."

Huang Duwei thought that General Mu from the capital was very familiar with this period of history, so he did not introduce it in detail, and pointed to the city wall to the west, "Duanliu City is mainly to defend Dongjie Kingdom on the other side of the river. Because it is across the river, the land The city wall is not... particularly well repaired. It has been in disrepair for a long time and may not be able to stop the demon clan's attack. "

Mu Xingqiu had long noticed that the small wall in the city was old and vulnerable. It was not a good choice for Zuo Liuying to stop at this place and not be able to move forward.

But he didn't say anything. Xin Youtao's claim that General Mu was "very good at marching formations" was a complete lie. Mu Xingqiu didn't understand these things at all.

In Huang Duwei's view, General Mu was a bit unpredictable. A soldier ran up and whispered a few words to the captain. Huang Duwei nodded, "General Mu, find a talisman master."

"So fast?"

"This talisman master... drank too much in a tavern in the city and didn't go out."

Mu Xingqiu suddenly lost most of his confidence. An alcoholic might not be an excellent talisman master. "I want to see him now."

"Yes." Huang Duwei agreed happily, but it took several winks before the soldier reluctantly accepted the order and left.

After a while, Captain Huang was introducing the specific conditions of each section of the city wall. Four soldiers shouted all the way and carried a man up.

The soldiers put the man down gently, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Two adults. We have brought up the Talisman Master."

"Wine, bring the wine quickly. Are you afraid that I won't give you the money? I am a talisman master. I can just draw a talisman and... uh... buy the whole store. Wine, I want wine..."

Captain Huang's expression was not very good. He looked at the Fu Lu Master writhing on the ground and acting drunk. He angrily reprimanded the soldiers: "Idiot, can't you wake him up first?"

"We poured a bucket of water on him and he didn't wake up." The soldier said, looking very unconvinced. Neither Captain nor "General Mu" seemed to be big shots in their eyes.

Mu Xingqiu walked to the Talisman Master,

He endured the smell of alcohol and lowered his head to check, and suddenly remembered where he had seen this person before, "You are Liu Ding. The talisman master of Xiaoerbao."

"Hey, does the general know him? His name is indeed Liu Ding. He was transferred from the border to Duanliu City two years ago. Since we are familiar with each other, it will be easier to talk to him. Haha." Huang Duwei said while kicking the Fu Lu Master with his legs, hoping that he would Wake up quickly.

Liu Ding unhappily pushed away the leather boots that frequently harassed him, rested his elbows on the ground, raised his head and looked at everyone blankly, his face was pale, his eyes were red, and the round crown symbolizing the identity of the Talisman Master was missing. "Old Huang, do you want to treat me to a drink? Why did you choose such a crappy place? You...who are you? You look familiar."

"Liu Ding, have you forgotten? This is General Mu from the capital. Your Excellency still remembers you."

"General Mu?" Liu Ding thought hard and jumped up suddenly, "You are not Pang Shan..."

"I am. But I am the general of the Zifu Army now." Mu Xingqiu's level of lying was far worse than that of Xin Youtao and Chen Shiwei. He felt uneasy and hurriedly changed the subject, "The demon soldiers are about to attack the city. I need your help." help."

Liu Ding stood swaying on the spot. He said inexplicably: "Demon soldiers? Where do the demon soldiers come from in Duanliu City? There are demons only in Xiaoerbao."

Mu Xingqiu grabbed Liu Ding's shoulders and shook him twice, "This is not an ordinary monster, this is a war, understand? The monster tribe has invaded Xijie Kingdom, and they will soon divide their troops to interrupt Liucheng."

Liu Ding woke up completely, "War? Demon soldiers, Xijie Kingdom, Pangshan Taoist priests...etc." Liu Ding ran to the wall and vomited into the river. After a while, he turned around, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said seriously :"I'm ready."

Liu Ding was originally a promising talisman master, but an assessment by the Longbin Society ruined him. He thought he performed well, but in the end he was rated as Grade C, which was equivalent to standing still and making no achievements in several years. After making a little progress, he became discouraged. He also heard people say that the assessment was unfair and that there were many shady stories. He felt even more depressed. He drank his sorrow every day and was really not suitable for serving in the frontier. After several twists and turns, he was sent to the safe city of Duanliu.

He never imagined that he would be attacked by demon soldiers in a place like this.

He spent some time complaining to Mu Xingqiu about his past experiences, and then started talking about the business, "Duanliu City has nothing. The soldiers, horses, and equipment are all empty. They concealed the information from top to bottom just to share the little silver."

At this time, several people had already climbed down the city wall and were on their way to the arsenal. Captain Huang's face was red and he explained: "I don't have any military pay. Duanliu City was like this many years ago. I only took over as Captain three years ago. , I can’t change it even if I want to.”

"Does the city guard don't care?" Mu Xingqiu asked, thinking about that guy who kept telling lies, he thought it was unlikely.

Captain Huang's face turned pale. The prince and General Mu were his superiors, and he was most likely the culprit.

The arsenal is close to the city wall, and the iron gate is covered with dust. It seems that no one has gone in to take care of it for a while. The guard soldier was so busy that he was sweating profusely before he used the key to unlock the door.

There was darkness in the arsenal, and moisture rushed towards his face. Piles of weapons and armor were placed randomly, rusty, and even stuck into a big pile, inseparable. Liu Ding took advantage of the situation and kicked him, and a sword broke in response. "These are the things. The talismans on them have not been updated for hundreds of years. Since I came here, I have never blessed any piece of armor."

Captain Huang blushed. He was not an official seriously. He knew that the Xuanfu Army in Duanliu City was in decline and he was unable to change it, so he simply turned a blind eye and had no idea that the arsenal had become like this.

"Fortunately, you have been a Taoist priest. You should be able to resist the demon soldiers..."

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "My magic power has been taken away by Pang Shan. I still have to rely on the Xuan Fu Army to resist the demon soldiers."

Liu Ding was stunned for a while with his mouth open. "Then it's simple. Those who can run should go to Dongjie Kingdom, and those who can't should wait here to die, Captain Huang. How do you choose?"

Captain Huang's face turned green again, "I...of course I will defend the city to repay the king's kindness."

Liu Ding curled his lips, "Where is General Mu?"

The strength of Duanliu City was worse than Mu Xingqiu's most pessimistic prediction. "I'm here to defend the city," he said, "There is no other choice."

"Okay, then let's have a fight to the death!" We haven't seen each other for a few years. The slightly shy Talisman Master has changed beyond recognition, but he has not lost some things. "Prepare pen and paper, I will start writing the Talisman right now. Cut off the flow There are also some talisman armors in the city that are still usable. Lao Huang, you collect them all and I will re-bless them."

Captain Huang responded and looked towards Mu Xingqiu. Get the hint and run out immediately.

"There are four more Talisman Masters. It will be faster if you all work together."

"There's no need to look for it. I'm the only real Talisman Master in Duanliu City. Those four people are all filling up. I can draw a talisman to deceive the villagers and women, but I can't do anything else. Alas, the Longbin Society has also declined. . Not to mention Duanliu City, even the talisman masters in some big cities may not be able to write real talismans."

Liu Ding was cynical, but he was quite capable. Soon, soldiers brought desks and special pens and paper for talismans, and other soldiers brought dozens of pieces of armor. Liu Ding commented that the material was poor, but he kept on writing talismans on the paper, and blessing the armor, without any mess in the composition.

Mu Xingqiu finally saw a little hope. Order the soldiers of the Xuanfu Army to fully cooperate with Liu Ding and return to the city with Huang Duwei to guard the mansion.

Duanliu City is not big, but there are many residents. People are coming and going on the streets. Although there are rumors that demon soldiers have invaded Xijie Kingdom, it has not caused panic. Everyone does not believe this kind of thing. Life continues, only The vendors along the street shouted in a joking tone: "The monsters are coming to kill you. Come and buy them. You won't have a chance in two days."

In such an atmosphere, even Huang Duwei was not so determined, "The Purple Fu Army in the capital is a real army, one against ten. There is also the Xuanfu Army on the border. They have rich experience. They may have already The demon army has been wiped out. Besides, Duanliu City is a small place, and even the demon soldiers may not look down upon it."

"The demon soldiers will come, it's just a matter of time." Mu Xingqiu still remembered what Qi Wushang said before the demon pill was taken away, "What crime is there to retake the homeland?" This is Qi Wushang's philosophy, as long as there is Maybe, he won't let any piece of land go.

Captain Huang still prayed that the demon soldiers would not come. He already regretted revealing too much inside information to Mu Xingqiu. This young general did not look like an official figure and he was afraid that he would cause trouble.

The city guard Chen Zhiwei had been notified early and personally stood at the gate to greet General Mu. He was a smart man and knew that flattering General Mu was more effective than directly pleasing the prince.

The city guard's mansion is located in the middle of the small town. The street in front of the gate is the widest and cleanest. Water is sprinkled every hour to ensure that there is no dust. Ordinary people have to take a detour for fear of soiling the ground with their shoes.

Chen Zhiwei clasped his hands and prepared to say a set of compliments with a smile. Mu Xingqiu was not far from the gate, www. anｓsh.cm was just thinking about how to deal with this toady, when his heart suddenly moved and he turned around and looked up into the air.

A big bird flew from outside the city. The pedestrians on the ground had not noticed it yet. Mu Xingqiu raised his head, and the others also looked up, but they didn't understand what they were looking at.

The big bird circled in the sky and suddenly descended rapidly. It was it that brought the first panic to Duanliu City.

This is a flying demon with two human arms sprouting from the base of its wings. One hand holds a short spear and the other holds a small shield. It hovers in mid-air, allowing humans to see its appearance clearly, and then says in a strange and sharp voice: "Surrender! Surrender! Those who don't surrender, die!"

The flying demon threw the javelin to the ground, and in front of the gate of the central city guard house, a demonic fire was instantly burned, which lasted for a long time. The flying demon ended with a threatening scream and rose to the sky.

Captain Huang fell into the arms of the soldier behind him with an ouch. Chen Zhiwei, who was at the door without any followers, fell on his back and shouted with his tall belly: "Oh my God! Oh my God!"

Until this moment, they really believed that the demon soldiers had invaded Xijie Kingdom.
