Endless route

Chapter 334 104. Auspicious Attack

Zheng Yun Jidao discussed in a low voice in the darkness of the mountain road. The two of them had various speculations about Qili's strange dream. They may be a little far from the truth, but they have a deeper understanding of the nature of the strange dream.

There must be mechanisms left behind by the ancients in the strange dreams of ancient battlefields, and the eight auspicious pictures are the key to it.

You can then start from this clue and investigate the usage and principles in detail. Although they may not necessarily use it, whether they use it or not and whether they know it are two different things.

For now, Guixi is still the first choice for using Qili Meng, but one day in the future, they may need to deploy Qili Meng to other places on the route.

After a long wait.

The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.

But the human voice, which had been invisible until now, suddenly disappeared before the two sides were about to break up.

Master Immortal, there are only horses, where have the people gone? Jidao stood up slightly, put his head out of the grass and looked ahead.

Under the hazy moonlight, the mountain path was dimly lit, and the mountain forest was even darker. Only the end of the path could be vaguely seen, and the silhouettes of several horses stopped in place.

The horse is a real horse.

Comes with an ancient saddle.

Although it was far away and the light was insufficient, Ji Dao could still recognize it at a glance. It was an ancient military horse.

But there are only horses and no people.

Looking around, there wasn't a single person in sight, as if the horses were freed from their restraints and running up the mountain alone.

nobody?

Zheng Yun felt a chill in his heart.

This scene was actually not very scary. Compared with the strange scenes they had encountered before, a few horses could not scare them, even if they were ghost horses.

But something is wrong.

They clearly heard some voices just now, but before the two sides were about to meet, the voices suddenly disappeared. It was hard not to make people wonder if there was something weird behind this.

For example, the other party discovered me?

Or were they intercepted by evil creatures in the mountains?

Everything in Qili's strange dream is logical. The disappearance of human voices cannot be without reason. There must be some hidden dangers.

Looking around?

Ji Dao immediately made a suggestion. He had dozens of immortal arts on his side. With sufficient strength, how could he be frightened by a few horses and be trapped here without daring to move forward?

It doesn’t hurt to be proactive.

How many evil spirits can there be in this mountain? No matter what the reason is, the worst thing is that the two sides will fight each other.

Look for it, be careful. I don't know what kind of drama this strange dream is playing. This place was once Nanze's trick, but after hundreds of years, maybe there are some changes in the dream.

Zheng Yun nodded slightly. Although he was always cautious, he couldn't waste time here anymore, knowing that this might be Qili Guimeng's trick but he took the initiative to trick him.

At present, they only know that the strange dream of this ancient battlefield is related to the eight auspicious pictures of that year. They also know that this place is one of the means of the ancient city of Nanze and is completely controlled by the ancients.

But they don't know more.

For example, the original appearance of the ancient battlefield dream, its usage and details in ancient times, and how many mysteries are hidden there.

Also, after the ancient city of Nanze was abandoned, what happened to Qili Guimeng? Was it destroyed by the ancients of Nanze, and what was its relationship with the loyal martyrs of the Hunum Camp.

The Huzuma Camp used Guimeng to fight the enemy. Whether the battle was won or lost, whether Qili Guimeng was damaged during the war, and whether some kind of mutation occurred after the damage.

These issues are all crucial. They determine whether Qili Weimeng will change, and whether they can take away Qili Weimeng and return the magic skills left behind to the Supervisory Immortal Division.

They won't get the answer by waiting here. They need to take the initiative to search and see if they can get clues.

Everyone set off quickly.

Dozens of Yin soldiers stood up from the surrounding vegetation, holding various instruments and moving forward quickly, aiming directly at the horses illuminated by the moonlight at the end of the mountain road.

Zheng Yun Jidao followed Yin Bing and walked slowly forward through the mountains and forests to prevent sudden danger.

There was no sound around.

There was not even a cry of birds or animals.

Only the rustling sound of running could be heard from the feet of dozens of Yin soldiers. They stepped on weeds and scratched branches as they moved forward, inevitably making some faint sounds.

Zheng Yun became more vigilant.

Yin soldiers transform into ancient gods and ghosts, and their walking noises are inaudible. If placed in normal times or in other places, these sounds can be almost ignored, and ordinary people cannot hear them at all.

But this moment was different.

It is known that there must be magical means in the ancient battlefield, and the last time Qili Meng participated in the battle was probably the Battle of Zhonglie in Hunumu Camp, so any method is enabled.

Except for objective facts.

The strange and dreamy scene of the ancient battlefield is also a confrontation between two armies, and both sides have already used whatever means they have.

Therefore, whether it is the scene inside the dream or the reality outside the dream, Qili Guimeng is full of dangers. It is in a peak state of full firepower, and both sides are using their trump cards.

In this case, the walking sound of the ancient gods and ghosts, no matter how weak it is, is likely to be heard by others.

Whether it is the evil monsters in the mountains or the Ming military camp, there must be a way to detect the enemy's situation, and then your actions are likely to be exposed to both sides and discovered by both sides at the same time.

Have to be careful.

If both sides are regarded as enemies, then their journey of exploration may not be too smooth. They could find the answer quickly, but they have to fight with both sides.

Master Immortal, there is still no one.

The Ji Dao was walking faster and we had already reached the top of a hill among the mountains and forests, where we could overlook the panoramic view of the mountain road ahead.

Zheng Yun followed up to observe.

There were more than twenty war horses, moving slowly along this upward mountain road, leisurely and contented under the moonlight, looking here and there, nibbling the grass and leaves on the roadside.

Looking at this posture, some people would believe that they are just a flock of sheep. They don't look like fine BMWs from the military camp at all.

And look around the horses.

No one could be seen.

It seemed that these horses had been left free, or that their owners had died in battle long ago, and they had been abandoned for several days.

No, Immortal, these horses are probably monster horses with some background. They can definitely hear our footsteps, but when they sense someone approaching, they don't react at all.

This could be a trap.

Someone used horses to lure us into looking.

Ji Dao suddenly noticed something strange. Until they reached this point, these horses were still eating grass and trees leisurely, as if they didn't notice anyone approaching them at all.

How can this be.

If they didn't even have this ability, each of them would be like a deaf person, and these horses wouldn't be able to appear here.

Back off.

Zheng Yun directly ordered the recall of Yin soldiers.

But at this moment, a dark yellow fire suddenly lit up in the forest in front, and then a wisp of wind suddenly sounded, and a knife with a cold light suddenly stabbed towards the Yin soldiers.

One of our own!

Ji Dao shouted loudly.

He could see the long sword clearly and knew at a glance that it was a military sword of the Ming Dynasty. The owner of the sword must be from the Ming Dynasty military camp, and he would definitely be able to understand his well-spoken Chinese.

The cause and effect are also simple and clear.

These people must be the scouts from the Ming Dynasty military camp. When they went into the mountain to investigate the situation, they suddenly found someone hiding in the mountain halfway, so they dismounted and sneaked into the forest and approached slowly.

And these sneaky people hiding in the mountains and forests are the immortal master and himself who have just entered the ancient battlefield.

So this is a misunderstanding.

As long as you speak Chinese at this moment and let the other person know that you are a human being, the misunderstanding will disappear.

Ji Dao thought it was pretty good.

But there was no response from the other party.

Even if Ji Dao called out several times, the long knife would not stop at all and cut straight towards the head of a Yin soldier.

The Yin soldiers remained motionless.

Before Zheng Yun ordered him to fight back, he would not react in any way, not even block, because the Yin soldiers were essentially outside the dream and had no idea what was going on in the dream.

hide.

Zheng Yun raised his hand and ordered.

Wow.

The Yin soldiers quickly stepped back, followed Zheng Yun's instructions, and ran away without looking back while holding the magical equipment.

Who are you?

Can't you understand what we are saying?

Ji Dao took the initiative to step out of the shade of the tree and appeared under the moonlight, revealing himself in a Tiangong Taoist robe.

It is understandable not to listen to others. If the enemy in the mountains can also speak Chinese, this team of detectives will mistakenly think that they are the enemy. Naturally, they will not stop because of a mere word from one of their own.

But this outfit is different.

This is a serious Tiangong Taoist robe. The workmanship is exquisite and the materials used are extraordinary. It cannot be imitated by ordinary people.

Moreover, this robe hides many details. As long as there is someone with sharp eyes and knowledge on the opposite side who knows the rules of the Supervisory Immortal Division, he will be able to tell at a glance that his identity is extraordinary.

As long as he shows up.

The other party will naturally stop.

But what happened was unexpected. After Ji Dao appeared, the other party not only did not stop, but actually intensified his attack, shooting hidden arrows from the darkness of the mountain forest directly towards Ji Dao.

欻欻.

More than a dozen arrows were shot out at the same time.

Almost all escape routes on Ji Dao were blocked.

Even Zheng Yun, who was behind a tree next to Jidao, was within the coverage of these dozen arrows.

Who are you?

Jidao didn't hide at all, he raised his sleeves and flicked them in the air, spraying out white mist and blocking all the hidden arrows.

This move is full of fairy spirit.

The master's style is fully displayed.

But just when Nidao thought for the third time that the other party should stop, the most unexpected thing suddenly happened.

A ray of golden light suddenly appeared.

The entire mountain forest suddenly became bright, and all the darkness was dispelled. Then the golden light spread rapidly, emitting a texture like water waves, and occupied the entire mountain forest in an instant.

Nothing is hidden in the mountains.

Everything is covered by this golden light.

The light patterns were intertwined with light and dark layers, as if the sun was shining into a golden lake, and they were at the bottom of the lake at the moment.

Damn it, the span is so big?

Ji Dao was so shocked that his eyes widened. Just a moment ago, it was an ordinary long sword and hidden arrow, but the next moment it turned into such a powerful and mysterious method, without any warning.

What's this?

Zheng Yun's eyes showed confusion. The source of the golden light was too dazzling to see clearly, while the light patterns in the mountains and forests were mottled.

The scene is indeed not small. I am afraid that the area within a radius of one or two miles is within the light, but what is the use of this golden light? So far, Zheng Yun has not noticed any discomfort.

Master Immortal, this is a golden jade sea stone used on the opposite side. This kind of stone has no offensive power, but the light is extremely dazzling and can be seen clearly from dozens of miles away.

Ji Dao pointed to the top of his head.

Zheng Yun looked up, and saw a golden light rising into the sky, scattering all over the sky, making the clouds shine golden.

This is brighter than modern flares and has the same effect. The most important thing is that it does not float high in the sky and can clearly illuminate the surrounding mountains and forests for a mile or two.

If nothing else, the people on the other side are calling people. They are conveying the enemy's information to the Ming army camp. Jidao was puzzled as to what was going on with these people on the other side.

Horses are deaf.

Are everyone deaf too?

No matter what I said, they didn't respond at all. I didn't even move my hands, and the other party started calling people?

What will happen next? Send troops from the military camp? Zheng Yun continued to ask, the unfolding of this matter was too weird.

I don't know, maybe. Master Xian, we are not afraid. This is just a dream. If the military camp is controlled by demons, we can also take action to protect ourselves.

There is a hidden message in Ji Dao's words.

The ultimate goal of Qili's dream is to kill people. The same goes for the ancient battlefield's dream. It is a fixed dream used by the ancients of Nanze to deal with the enemy. It may not be flexible.

Just like all the gods and ghosts encountered before, it is difficult to communicate with people and will attack once they appear. The same may be true of the Ming army camp in the dream.

No matter who enters the dream, they will be attacked by the Ming army camp, which is an indiscriminate attack.

Are you sure you can keep it?

Zheng Yun had some different ideas.

If Ji Dao's judgment is correct, then what awaits them next is likely to be an all-out attack from the Mountain Auspicious Picture, one of the eight auspicious pictures of Qili Guimeng.

I just said that the author of the auspicious picture is an amazing genius. He may have used a huge scam to deceive the people of the city and performed all kinds of unimaginable magic tricks in dreams.

The ancients were able to develop infinite magic in reality. If they were given a strange dream to perform at will, what answer would they be able to produce? How powerful will the auspiciousness in this mountain be?

Just rely on yourself.

Can you really withstand the auspiciousness in the mountains?

But Zheng Yun's question is not a rhetorical question. He is sincerely asking Ji Dao, because the essence of the matter is that Ji Dao's imagination versus the auspicious author's imagination.

Among the dozens of Yin soldiers and immortal arts around him, some are historical objects, and some are imagined by Ji Dao based on words. Their power depends on Ji Dao's imagination.

And the same is probably true for Shanzhong Xiangrui.

Hundreds of years ago, the people of Nanze were immigrants who wandered across the sea through the fairy gate. They must have seen many sea monsters on the way and thought they had entered a fairyland.

That was the case in that era. There was only one moon in the sky before going to bed, and two suns appeared in the sky after waking up. The stars were changing, the world was in chaos, what was it if it wasn't a fairyland?

in this case.

It was almost easy for those in power in ancient times to deceive the people of the city with legends of gods and ghosts. As long as there was official endorsement from the Nanze Prefecture, they would just believe whatever they made up?

The imperial court said that he could become an immortal.

Who in the world dares not to ascend?

Then the auspiciousness in the mountains is boundless. It is completely divorced from reality and relies directly on myths and legends. Heavenly soldiers and generals are everywhere in the sky, gods and Buddhas, all of which can be transformed for you.

in this case.

Can Ji Dao win the author of the auspicious picture?

No matter how rich Ji Dao's imagination is, he is also a descendant of Tiangong who once published Compendium of Mountains and Seas. In his thinking, he has the ancient concept of studying things to gain knowledge, and has the rudiment of scientific thinking.

But the author of the auspicious picture is different. After discovering the principle of Qili Dreams, he reversely used Qili Dreams to actively break away from reality and rely exclusively on myths and legends.

He doesn't make sense at all.

How could Ji Dao win over him?
