The atmosphere in the valley is a bit depressing.
Looking at the figures in front of him, Li Changshou felt that he was facing a bloody history of the human race.
The Archmage was sitting by the river grilling fish, while Ling'e and Youqin Xuanya were standing behind Li Changshou, and they were also frowning at the hundreds of figures standing by the river.
These figures can hardly be called living beings;
They didn't have any breath fluctuations in their bodies, their eyes were lifeless and motionless, like stone and clay sculptures.
But they are creatures;
They are still alive at this moment, most of them have more or less scars on their bodies, and half of their limbs are mutilated. Under the ancient armor, it seems that there are sleeping beasts lurking.
"Brother, they are..."
"people."
Master Xuandu stood up holding the grilled fish, smiled and gestured, and a man and a woman walked out of the hundred people.
The man was nearly ten feet tall, with dark muscles all over his body, and the iron armor on his body seemed to have merged with his flesh.
The woman is a bit petite and exquisite, with a scar hanging on her cheek, but she still gives people the impression that she is mostly gentle.
The two raised their right hands, caressed the position of their hearts, landed on one knee, and said in unison:
"My lord."
Behind them, the more than one hundred figures stood quietly, and they were indeed more like clay sculptures.
Ling'e subconsciously hid behind Li Changshou, while Youqin Xuanya stared at these figures, a little lost in thought.
"well… "
The archmage sighed, "It's a bit troublesome to communicate with them, and it took me several months to talk to each of them once.
They are all willing to go back to Honghuang to listen to your orders and cull the monsters who escaped in ancient times.
Junior brother, make good use of it. "
Li Changshou, on the other hand, remained uncharacteristically silent.
Ling'e asked softly: "Senior Archmage, where did these seniors come from?"
"Xuandu City," the Archmage laughed, "In ancient times, Xuandu City was under intense warfare, and the Emperor sent these soldiers to assist in the defense of Xuandu City.
Now that the battle situation in Xuandu City is stable, it is enough to protect it with Dao soldiers.
They were bored there, so they might as well go back to the Great Desolation to fight the Yaozu again. "
"I can handle today's demon clan," Li Changshou said, "Brother, let these seniors go back to Xuandu City to cultivate."
"Yes," the man and woman bowed their heads in response, stood up, walked back to the queue, and stood still as before.
Master Xuandu wondered:
"Why? Do you know their strength
Although there are only one hundred and eight people here, they are all the elite of the human race who have survived since ancient times.
The strongest army of the human race that knocked down the demon court and broke through the Zhoutian formation was their predecessors. "
Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, how can I give orders to them?"
"So I was worried about this, so come and sit down," Grand Master Xuandu greeted with a smile, "The two commanders, please come here too."
At that moment, a group of people were sitting by the bonfire, Ling'e volunteered to take the stick for grilling fish, and Youqin Xuanya went to the stream to catch more spirit fish.
The man and the woman sat upright, with lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes.
Li Changshou sat across from the two of them, passing the topic lightly.
"Brother, what kind of war can there be in Xuandu City?"
Master Xuandu said slowly: "It's a small matter, just some extraterrestrial demons wandering around the Chaos Sea.
When the world was created, some innate gods and demons who escaped from the Pangu god's ax also created some creatures.
Most of these creatures are murderous, and they have a strong covetous heart for the prehistoric world. Fortunately, the power of heaven has wrapped the prehistoric three thousand worlds, preventing them from invading.
But the Dao of Heaven is incomplete, so it is impossible for it to be without omissions. Therefore, Daozu took the initiative to set up Xuandu City, and took the initiative to expose the loopholes of Dao of Heaven. Xuandu City blocked the path of those creatures entering the prehistoric world.
At the end of the ancient lich war, both liches suffered losses, the power of life between heaven and earth fell to the lowest point, the operation of heaven was affected, and those extraterrestrial demons made troubles, and Xuandu City was bustling for a while... "
Ling'e admired in a low voice: "There are really extraterrestrial demons."
"Tsk," the Archmage shook his head, "Those guys are all ugly, they are not as handsome as your senior brother."
Ling'e smiled and said, "This is incomparable."
"Hahaha," Li Changshou laughed a few times, looked at the two commanders again, took out a set of tea sets from his sleeves, made six cups of tea, and carried them to them with Xianli.
"Senior, please."
"Thank you," the tall man whispered, under the loose long hair, the square face with Chinese characters was full of calm.
Holding the hot tea in both hands, the woman lowered her head and took a sip, her gaze changed slightly.
"tastes good."
"As long as senior likes it," Li Changshou said softly.
The archmage smiled and said, "You know, junior brother, why the two of them are the commanders
In fact, it's not because of strength, but because, only the two of them can communicate with others normally at this time, retaining the seven emotions and six desires, which is almost the same as us.
However, the two of them are also the most bitter...
You communicate with them more. "
Li Changshou nodded slowly, knowing that it was the Archmage who was persuading him to keep this power.
For a moment, he also hesitated, and fell silent again.
Ling'e once again acted as a little expert to invigorate the atmosphere, and asked in a low voice: "Master, are these seniors ancient humans?"
"Well," Master Xuandu looked a little far away, holding a teacup, looking at the clouds in the sky.
They sat on low rocks, listening to the archmage, the story of the past...
[The human race, created by the Nuwa Holy Mother, was born with an innate Tao body, born weak, good at cultivation, and close to Tao.
At that time, the human race was just one of the ten thousand races in the world. Because Nuwa became a saint, most of the races avoided the human race, allowing the human race to multiply and live. The footprints of the human race spread all over the plains and mountains of Nanfangbuzhou.
But disaster followed.
Because the soul of the human race is similar to the Tao, the demon master Kunpeng offered to Donghuang Taiyi the method of refining secret treasures with the soul of the human race. In order to completely defeat the witch race, the monster race began to massacre the human race, capture the soul of the human race, and refine the magic weapon for killing witches. .
The human race was killed to the point that none survived, and the monster race still refused to stop, wanting to drive them all to extinction...]
This period of human history began to become blurred here. It seems that later generations of human race deliberately blurred the story here.
The archmage is a witness and participant of history, knowing the whole picture.
"...Although the teacher joined hands with Nuwa Saint to save the last human race, the human race has already written their hatred in their bones."
Master Xuandu said calmly:
"The human race who survived the disaster hated the monster race to the extreme in their hearts. They were desperate to improve their cultivation, and even deviated from the right path of cultivation to transform themselves into demons.
Although the saint took action to save the fire of the human race, the human race was at its weakest stage at that time, and the monster race was afraid of leaving disasters behind, and wanted to get rid of the human race and then quickly...
That is the most difficult Yuanhui for the human race, that's why they have them. "
Li Changshou said: "One hundred thousand demon soldiers, break through the sky."
Ling'e pursed her lips, and carefully handed a grilled fish to the female commander who was closest to her.
"Senior..."
The latter shook his head slightly, smiled slightly at Ling'e, and continued to sit upright.
The archmage took the grilled fish casually and said with a smile, "Give it to me, don't waste it."
Ling'e quickly handed over the grilled fish.
Youqin Xuanya asked: "One hundred thousand demon soldiers... can you tell me in detail?"
Li Changshou sighed and explained:
"Entering the Dao of Demons is to turn obsession into the Dao realm, and obtain the Dao realm promotion in a short period of time, but it is very easy for the Dao heart to collapse and lose control.
In order to gain strength in a short period of time without letting themselves lose control, these seniors first became enchanted, cooperated with the secret method to enhance the Dao realm, and then cut off the Dao heart, calling themselves the seven emotions and six senses, and cutting off all external perceptions.
They locked their souls in their bodies, and only used a special secret method to distinguish between the enemy and ourselves. They turned into magic soldiers, respected the emperor's order, and guarded the human race. "
The archmage gasped in amazement: "As expected of my junior brother, I also know such secrets!"
"Seeing this on a sheepskin..."
Li Changshou sighed: "At first I thought it was just a rumor, but after I went to visit the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in Huoyun Cave, I learned about the senior Suiren clan, and only then did I know that the human demon soldiers really existed.
The lifespan of a mortal is too short, the prehistoric time is too long, and too much history is lost in the long years... "
"You know, junior brother, after the Demon Court was destroyed, there were only 3,623 of them left."
Master Xuandu said: "I brought them to Xuandu City, after so many years, those with limited lifespan have all passed away.
The rest of these...
Junior brother, take them to kill demons.
Letting them escape on the battlefield with dignity is the best thing you and I can do for them. "
Li Changshou: "Brother, there is no way to help them recover their perception?"
The Archmage frowned and said, "That would be too cruel to them."
"If you don't ask them, how can you know what they think?"
Li Changshou pondered a few times, his eyes sparkled, and he already had an idea at this moment.
"They are the heroes of the ancient human race, and they should not fight in the current generation.
Brother, let me take them to Anshui City for a period of a hundred years, to see if I can help them regain their emotions and desires.
If they want to be free, they don't have to be sad on the battlefield. The decency and respect that the ancestors of the human race should have is indispensable.
They have protected the human race to this day, but they can't reach today, and they still have to stand in front of the human race...
I don't think it makes sense. "
The archmage showed surprise on his face, and said strangely: "You have figured out a way now?"
"A little thought..."
When Li Changshou said two words, the archmage was startled for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed, praising Li Changshou for his cleverness.
Ling'e blinked...
Ai
Why do I feel that I don't know my senior brother well enough
…
When the pair of teachers and brothers discussed this matter, the two commanders of the magic soldiers kept silent;
But when they looked at Li Changshou, they gradually became more grateful.
Seeing that Li Changshou had no intention of using these more than a hundred ancient human races to fight, the archmage did not persuade him much.
Speaking of which, the archmage was also a little depressed.
He personally went to Xuandu City to 'invite' these one hundred and eight ancient human demon soldiers back, not only failed to become Li Changshou's "anti-monster soldiers", but also found more work for Li Changshou …
As a senior brother, the archmage was always a little embarrassed in his heart.
Therefore, the Archmage took the initiative to inquire about the demon clan's rebellion against the heavens. If the heavenly court is under too much pressure, he, an old man, should take appropriate action and directly intervene...
Li Changshou truthfully reported the current "record", and the Archmage laughed out loud.
On the contrary, Ling'e and Youqin Xuanya had strange expressions when they heard the various methods of Heavenly Court.
Ling'e naturally felt a little disgusted, after all, the method of the toilet temple was too dirty in every sense...
Youqin Xuanya said: "What does the matter of marriage have to do with fighting skills? The monsters deserve to die, and we should defeat them with dignity.
Wouldn't it be too unscrupulous to act like this? "
Li Changshou and the archmage looked at each other, and they both laughed.
The archmage said: "Unscrupulous is sometimes not derogatory."
"Junior Sister Qin," Li Changshou said solemnly, "In the Heavenly Court, ninety percent of today's soldiers and generals are from the human race, but today the earth is dominated by the human race, and the Heavenly Court can also be regarded as the Heavenly Court that protects the human race.
I don't care about the life and death of these blatant demons, let alone their marriage.
Effectively reducing the enemy's strength, dissolving the opponent's morale, and increasing the enemy's internal conflicts is to protect one's own heavenly soldiers and generals.
Naturally, I don't hate those spirits who are friendly to the human race, and there are also people who are full of evil among the human race, but these monster races who are against the sky, are they really persecuted by the heavenly court
It has only been a few years since the Heavenly Court started, and these anti-heavenly demon clans just feel threatened and are afraid in their hearts.
Kuangfu Tianting is because the way of heaven is fair, and the way of heaven acts in accordance with the way of heaven. The stronger the court of heaven, the sooner the balance between evil and good in heaven and earth will be achieved. "
Youqin Xuanya was lost in thought.
Ling'e muttered softly: "Brother, Senior Sister Youqin is not blaming you, don't be angry..."
Li Changshou said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't know about the temper of Junior Qin Sister? Heavenly Court needs talents like Junior Qin Sister."
The corner of Ling'e's mouth twitched slightly, she was called Xuan Ya just now!
"En," Youqin Xuanya bowed her head in response, but she did not let go of her insistence on this matter.
The archmage watched quietly, thinking of something again, and kept smiling.
If Junior Sister Yunxiao also joins the discussion, I don't know what will happen...
Li Changshou was concerned about the 'superior' behind the Yaozu, and while the archmage was here, he asked directly:
"Brother, I always feel that someone is pointing Lu Ya behind his back."
It's not that he can't be overwhelmed.
I just feel that if Taoist Lu Ya has such a vision, the Yaozu will not be in the current state. "
"It's a small matter, let me figure it out."
The archmage pinched his fingers to calculate, and soon he let out a sigh.
Li Changshou hurriedly asked, "Red Hydrangea?"
"It wasn't the Holy Mother who made the move, the other party actually has the ability to erase the secrets of heaven!"
The archmage narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand to ask for the Taiji Tutu to be held in his palm, and closed his eyes to concentrate.
This time it took a full moment, the Taoist rhyme of the Taiji Diagram kept flowing...
Finally, the archmage whispered a name:
"White Pond."
Li Changshou was slightly taken aback, and then his face showed surprise: "No wonder, it turned out to be this ancient demon commander.
The Yaoshuai who survived the Lich War is by no means easy to deal with!
Brother, this Bai Ze absolutely cannot stay.
Can Senior Brother Lao take action and get rid of Bai Ze early, if he helps Lu Ya again, Heavenly Court will really be in some trouble. "
"Good," the Archmage said, "Bai Ze took the initiative to enter the robbery this time, which I never thought of.
I'm going to find him bad luck!
However, Bai Ze is also considered a congenital auspicious beast, with the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, so it takes some effort and time to be a brother. "
Li Changshou thought for a while, and said: "Perhaps, we can use his supernatural powers of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, reverse the yin and yang, and lure him into the urn."
"Oh? Interesting, let me explain in detail."
At the moment, this senior brother was sitting by the bonfire by the river, and began to study... a hundred ways to persecute the auspicious beasts.
One hundred kinds of words are exaggerated, and Li Changshou only provided the archmage with seven or eight ideas, and based on the archmage's understanding of Bai Ze, he found several possible weaknesses of Bai Ze.
For example, this kind of auspicious beast who is good at calculation and whose natal supernatural power is to save his life has always been smooth sailing, so he may over-believe what he thinks in his heart.
After discussing with Li Changshou from noon until sunset, the archmage couldn't wait to meet Bai Ze, brought two grilled fish to eat on the way, and disappeared without a trace.
Before the great mage left, he left Li Changshou two jade talismans, which recorded the method of refining magic weapons.
—In order for Li Changshou to find a way to restore the seven emotions and six senses of the magic soldier.
In front of Ling'e and Xuanya, Li Changshou took out a Paper Daoist, and the Paper Daoist drove the clouds, leading the one hundred and eight puppet-like magic soldiers away.
They didn't say a word during the whole process, and they only recognized Li Changshou's instructions at this moment.
What kind of terrifying force is this
Cultivation starts from longevity, absolute orders and prohibitions, no idea what fear and retreat are, good at combined attack battle formation, the most reasonable use of their own immortal power, and each has several spiritual treasures...
The great mage handed them over to Li Changshou to command them, in fact, he wanted them to die with the masters of the monster clan in Beizhou, and give these demon soldiers a home.
This idea itself is not wrong, but Li Changshou prefers to let them make their own choices...
Now that the human race is in a peaceful and prosperous age, and the heavens are enough to suppress the monster race, why should these human race spirits be heroic and heroic
[Presumably, they also want to see how magnificent the prosperity they have earned with all their efforts...]
Regarding the placement of these demon soldiers, Li Changshou thought over and over again, and decided to take them to Anshui City and let them live in the secular world for a period of time.
He planned to try again when the situation of the Yaozu on the border of Beizhou became more stable.
I don't know if the Empress Houtu's power of empathy can help them return to normal...
However, before Li Changshou and all the demon soldiers arrived at Anshui City, Ling'e hurriedly flew to the alchemy room, holding a jade talisman wrapped in more than ten layers of immortal power in her small hand.
"Brother!
Someone at the mountain gate sent this jade talisman, the disciple of the mountain gate said! "
Li Changshou turned his mind back and asked, "What did you say?"
"It was left behind by a Taoist who claimed to be Zebai, and I want to give the name to you, brother!"
Li Changshou was also taken aback.
Zebai... Bai Ze
If it's really him, this ancient monster commander really can't stay!
