Among the Nine Gates, Sanniang was the oldest. Before Yunxi and Yunyao entered the Nine Gates, Sanniang was already there, and at that time Yao Guang was still the assistant of the previous head of the Nine Gates.
Sanniang had been in the Nine Gates for nearly a hundred years, and had never seen the eight tribes move together, nor had she ever seen Emperor Shitian issue an imperial decree. She remembered that the previous head of the Nine Gates had said that it would be a good thing for the world to be peaceful if Emperor Shitian did not move.
So when Indra made this move, Sanniang felt heavy in her heart.
Master Yao Guang couldn't help but exclaimed again: "In my lifetime, I can actually see the Tianzi Guards go on a mission. This is really an eye-opener!"
Lian picked up the golden bead leisurely, and light immediately shot out from the bead, pointing straight to the west.
"Youyou, what does this mean?" Yao Guang asked Lian Youyou puzzledly.
Lian Youyou frowned and scratched her head in annoyance: "Tsk, they told them not to dig but they kept digging. Now they have dug a hole and caused trouble. Ah~~~"
It was the first time that everyone saw Lian Youyou so irritable. This great deity had been invincible since she came to the Nine Gates. Nothing could stump her. Catching ghosts was like picking vegetables, beating monsters was like picking melons, and she usually ate melon seeds and boasted. Her relaxed appearance made them extremely envious.
But this time, the great god looked like he had a headache. What kind of terrible task gave the great god such a headache
"Sister Youyou, what are you digging?" Yun Yao asked curiously.
Lian Youyou turned to look at Lin Tingjun, who was leaning against the door with a puzzled look in his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"Dig it out~~~" Lian Youyou said gritting her teeth a little madly.
Lin Tingjun continued to be confused. What had been dug out
Hei Yan stood on He Shiqi's shoulder, and the two looked at Lin Tingjun and Lian Youyou in confusion. Others looked at the conversation between Lian Youyou and Lin Tingjun in confusion.
Lian Youyou held her forehead with her hand: "The beastmen buried on the earth have been dug out."
"What?!" This time, Lin Tingjun stood up straight in shock, no longer looking so leisurely, "Which group?"
"Ah... the group in the west." Lian Youyou sighed heavily, and looked at everyone solemnly in Lin Tingjun's stagnant expression, "The eight groups of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Secret Instrument have all been activated, which means that we should all go out!"
Everyone was shocked.
Lian Youyou looked at everyone seriously: "Everyone, get ready, we have a tough battle to fight!"
Everyone immediately shouted in unison: "Yes!" There was a hint of excitement in Lang Lang's voice about following Lian Youyou into the battle.
Lian Youyou looked at the excitement in their eyes and sighed inwardly, thinking that they might not be excited enough when they got there.
Half a moment later, everyone gathered in the secret realm. Sanniang also took off her usual gorgeous dress and put on a black tight-fitting suit. Her long hair was combed into a bun behind her head, looking clean and neat.
Yunxi was stunned for a moment when he saw her outfit. He didn't know Sanniang could be so heroic.
“Pah, pah, pah.” Lian Youyou walked in front of Yunxi, snapped her fingers, and looked at him seriously: “We are going to fight, not for you to fall in love.”
Everyone looked at Lian Youyou, because since she came to Jiumen, she had never been so serious as today.
"Great God, you said we are going to fight a war. Who are we fighting against?" Fat Buddha asked Lian Youyou. There were not many wars in the history of Jiumen, and most of them were against zombies or monsters.
"Could it be that zombies have broken out somewhere again?" Coffin Master's face showed a solemn look. He couldn't help but touch the chopstick box in his hand, and some heavy memories came to his mind.
Lian Youyou looked at everyone seriously: "It's not zombies. Our enemy this time is a gluttonous beast that is more powerful than zombies."
“Taotie beast?!” Everyone was shocked and their eyes widened. “Isn’t that a mythical beast?!”
Lian Youyou frowned: "The divine beast is to make you fear it. Why should you fear it? It is to make you stay away from it. The untamed Taotie beast is a locust. You will know when you see it. We will set off immediately. Remember, their leather armor is very hard and ordinary swords and guns cannot hurt them."
Ever since everyone heard that they were going to fight the Taotie, their faces became tense and they no longer showed any excitement.
Lian Youyou turned around and looked at Yao Guang: "Master Yao Guang, go inform the emperor and ask him to dispatch troops to Liangzhou, set up checkpoints, bring the best artillery of the Qian Dynasty, and requisition sulfur powder, the more the better!"
Yao Guang was completely confused, his face tense: "It's so serious!"
Lian Youyou nodded: "It's very serious. Ordinary swords and guns are useless against Taotie, but sulfur powder entering the air is toxic to Taotie. Also, evacuate all villagers around Liangzhou and block Liangzhou! If the Taotie pass Liangzhou and spread everywhere, it will be difficult to control them!"
Yao Guang continued to be in a daze. Anyway, none of them had ever seen a real Taotie, so whatever Lian Youyou said was true...
After being in Jiumen for so long and going through so much, everyone knows very well that there are many legends in the world, and in fact, many times they are beautiful, white lies given to the people by the government.
There are countless examples like this in the Jiumen archives.
"They also... take walks?" Mr. Yao Guang's fat face was dull, "How many... are there..."
Lian Youyou looked at Yao Guang, then at the others who were also asking questions: "This thing... can replicate itself..."
Everyone was stunned again.
Lian Youyou raised her right hand and made an eating gesture: "Taotie is greedy. After eating, it will split into two, two into four... So... I think we should not waste time here." Lian Youyou looked apologetic to everyone, "If I can't stop it by then... I may... have to destroy your world..."
Everyone's eyes widened even more. The biggest threat in front of them was clearly Lian Youyou!
Lian Youyou turned to Xiao Lujie and said earnestly: "Xiao Lujie, you stay at Jiumen to look after the house. Jiumen must be guarded, otherwise the demons in the underground city will stir up trouble again. If Fu Mingrui comes, tell him that we are going to Liangzhou."
Little Lettuce nodded seriously, also with a look of being ready for a great enemy. This was his first time looking after the house alone, which made him extremely nervous and it was also a huge challenge for him.
"By the way, Xiao Guang." Lian Youyou looked at Yao Guang again, this time with a hint of mischief in her eyes, "Suggest to the emperor to let the prince take command himself! If the prince leads the troops to quell the rebellion, it will be of great benefit to his ascension to the throne in the end." After Lian Youyou finished speaking, she winked at Yao Guang, regaining some of her usual nonchalance.
Why did Yao Guang have a vague feeling that Lian Youyou was trying to "murder" the prince? She made it sound so serious and so terrible, but she actually let the prince go to the front line in person
"We can go now." Lin Tingjun picked up his sword and walked towards the stone bridge, twisting his body, "Ah... I haven't fought for a long time."
"Let's go!" Lian Youyou shouted solemnly, and all the members of the Nine Gates were dispatched! (To be continued)
