Urla province, night.
Yulanzhu returned to one of her strongholds, her face turned pale as soon as she entered the secret room, and she quickly took a pill to adjust her breath. After a long while, the trace of thunder in the body was dissolved.
"As expected of the Five Thunders Law, I can bear it with just a little contamination. Thanks to that woman's stupidity, otherwise I will really fall."
She got off the cloud bed and just changed her clothes when she saw Nalan walking in, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I met a little lunatic and got into a fight."
"Oh, the people from Mobei are here again, they have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Um?"
Yulan Zhu became a little angry when she heard this, and scolded: "If you are stupid, don't implicate me! You go and tell them that we are a family in name, but we have never violated the river water. If you dare to disturb me again, don't blame me for being ruthless! "
"yes!"
After Nalan left, Yulanzhu sat alone on the cloud bed, frowning in thought.
Of course, she would not be ignorant of Gnosticism. Some time ago, the shamanism from Mobei came to visit and briefly talked about it.
Gnostics and shamans both believe in the soul, have similar power systems, and belong to the category of witches. And they both want to mess up the world and love to mess things up.
Mobei and Monan suffer from the oppression of Phoenix Mountain and Taoist Temple, and have never dared to show their faces. They are in urgent need of strong foreign aid. If the Gnostics wanted to enter the country to collect dead souls, they would inevitably need to lead the way, so they hit it off.
But the way of shamanism outside the customs is different. Although it is an evil camp in the early stage, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, it is necessary to open an incense altar, collect followers, diligently correct the law, and become a fairy.
Only when Magnolia Pearl is full, will it get involved in this kind of shit, and even when the other party infringes on its own interests, it will get angry.
"Why… "
She stretched her waist, lying on the cloud bed originally used by monks to meditate, and said to herself: "Be a vegetarian, be a vegetarian, and be a good demon."
…
Mobei, grassland.
August is the most beautiful time for the grassland. Even if it is deserted and overgrown with strange beasts, it cannot change its magnificence and beauty.
The green pastures are soaring, as high as one person, covering the earth like a boundless green carpet, and there is a big river winding like a silver ribbon.
At this time, a small altar was set up in a place by the river, and three men in black robes sat in a triangle, with several people guarding it.
I saw the man in black chanting a mantra and urging the altar.
In an instant, there was a gust of wind, the sun was blocked by clouds, and there was a rustling of the long grass, and large pieces fell towards the altar. It seemed that there were countless invisible remnant souls gathered here from all directions.
Immediately afterwards, the men in black robes raised their heads at the same time, each showing a flashing silver pupil. Three strands of soul power flew out from the pupils and hovered over the altar.
The soul power formed a big net, constantly gathering the remnant souls. Slowly, the invisible and colorless air became translucent, and obviously sank down, pouring into a slender silver cup on the altar.
They were going on, and suddenly a bald head with red pupils appeared from the outside, but it was the mage of Mobei Shaman. He watched the three of them casting spells, and couldn't help showing a trace of jealousy and resentment.
It is said that the shamanism in Mobei and Monan is similar to that in the Northwest, and they also believe in the soul of the dead, plus the god of the sky-Longevity Heaven. However, their inheritance has been cut off a lot, and they lack intermediate and high-level spells, which are far inferior to the Gnostic "God's personal teaching".
Since the Northwest Diocese was destroyed, especially after Gu Yu was promoted to Immortal, the two shivering and honest people lived through hardships. Until some time ago, Gnostic suddenly found two companies and expressed their cooperative attitude.
The two are very bachelors, holding the idea of "I can't kill you, I have to shit and disgust you", and happily agreed to cooperate.
"call!"
After about an hour, the wind gradually died down, and the sun tore through the clouds and shone on the ground, as if nothing had happened. The three men in black robes stood up and handed the silver cup to another black robe, "High Priest, please take a look!"
"Hahaha, Xia Guo did not disappoint me, and I have gained so much in only three places."
The high priest collected the silver cup and said to the mage, "We have already collected one-tenth, where else can we go?"
"There is nothing on the grassland, but there is an ancient battlefield thousands of miles south, with a strong evil spirit, which meets your requirements. It's just..."
"But what?"
"There is a big city nearby, so it's inconvenient to use it."
"So what about the big city? Whoever dares to stop him, just kill him!"
"What if the government is alarmed?" The mage was apprehensive.
"It happened to be alarmed, it was exactly in our plan, and lead the way quickly."
The mage had no choice but to lead the crowd to the south and head for the city.
As mentioned earlier, when the Gnostics entered the country this time, all six high priests were dispatched, divided into several groups, and went to various places to collect remnant souls. The population of Xia Kingdom has been at the forefront of the world for thousands of years, with more people living and more people dying. The dead souls that are hard to find in other countries are like cutting leeks here.
These remnant souls will be sent to the altar of the Gnostics. Only hundreds or thousands of them can cultivate a qualified spirit body, and a hundred thousand spirit bodies are needed to activate an altar.
The Fire Eagle's Nest is temporarily unavailable, so there are two more, which can open the passage to the upper realm!
…
Ubat is a prefecture-level city in Mobei. It is rich in minerals and is extremely important to the national industry. Even during the time when alien beasts were raging, the government did not give up on this place and sent a large number of troops to garrison it.
Now that the strange beasts are no longer restless, and the phenomenon of actively attacking people is less and less, the army gradually withdraws, leaving only a small part here.
It was late at night, and in a certain area on the outskirts of the city, the army sentry posts were lit, and several soldiers stood upright with live ammunition and long swords on their backs.
One of them suddenly shivered while standing, and then his body trembled, and he quickly circulated his inner energy, only to recover slightly.
"Why is it cold?"
"It's still windy."
"There is a reaction in the inner qi, it doesn't feel right!"
Several of them had practiced basic techniques, and one of the eight million Sword Immortal Warrior Kings immediately noticed the strangeness. Immediately looked around, and found in the distance that there were dark clouds covering the top in the west, and the gloomy wind gathered.
"Someone did it, let's go!"
"Whew..."
The sharp whistle sounded, and the two teams quickly assembled and rushed out of the gate in an off-road vehicle. When they arrived at the place, they saw seven or eight men in black robes, chattering around a strange building, and only had two words written on top of their heads: Villain!
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"..."
"Come out and answer, or you will shoot!"
"..."
When the high priest saw these soldiers, he was not surprised but delighted, "What a powerful living soul, Xia Guo is willing to spend money to popularize it in the army, it is cheaper for me!"
The team leader observed his expression, keenly sensed the danger, and said decisively: "Fire!"
Clap clap!
bang bang bang!
For a moment, fire snakes spewed out, bullet marks crisscrossed, and the dense gunfire echoed in the open field, which was very clear.
"stop!"
After fighting for a while, the leader waved his hand to stop, stepped on the broken dirt, grass and stones, and the dust and smoke disappeared, and the man in black was still standing in front.
His heart trembled violently, and just as he was about to move, he saw the other party scratching at the void, and before he even had time to feel the pain, he fell to the ground.
More than a dozen living souls were extracted abruptly, and then the silver light surged, swallowing them like a huge mouth. When the silver light retracted into his pupils, the high priest showed a satisfied smile, and looked at the barracks in the distance.
"Team one, please call back! Team two, please call back!"
"There's a gunshot over there, and the communication is interrupted!"
"Something went wrong! Report immediately, and the others follow me!"
