Chapter 246 Zuo Liuying's Plan
The thin night is like a gentle hand, gently rubbing the tortured city. People who escaped from death shouted and laughed in an abnormal manner, regardless of the high and low, whether it is male, female, old or young. They need these, and need the noise and loss of human nature to prove that everything is not illusory: they are still alive and have firmly stood firm in a world like quicksand.
They don't even want to consider tomorrow's affairs, needless to say, longer-term issues.
Zuo Liuying ended all this as soon as he walked out of the room. He expanded the spell shield that had been isolated from the room, so the entire courtyard became quiet, the noise disappeared, the crowd disappeared, and the entire Duanliu City seemed to no longer exist.
Zeng Fu, Fangfang, and Baldzi also came out. Fangfang smiled slightly at Mu Xingqiu, while Baldzi rushed over and landed on Mu Xingqiu's shoulder. Without saying a word, he lowered his head and stared at the withered heart in his hand.
Zuo Liuying did not change anything, she still looked like a seventeen or eighteen years old, as handsome as a man, nor like a hundred-year-old Shintoshi. Even his seriousness and indifference were like a trick that a boy deliberately used to cover up his shyness.
But this is indeed the head of the Pangshan Daotong Prison Secretary Department, a rare genius who has no concern for things other than practice. He neither asked the dead nor comforted the survivors. He raised his other hand and gently bounced the Patriarch Tower. A shrinking illusion appeared in the entire courtyard, including Duanliu City, a battlefield outside the city, and the towering altar he had just proposed to build.
Lanqizhang is responsible for explaining.
The altar was built on the collapsed west city wall, made of all wood, "The first one will cast spells here to welcome the giant demon king."
Lanqizhang walked forward a few steps, "The soldiers on the ground must lead the army of the demon clan to the south, just as they have done today, the people in the sky, that is, you, must lead the magician northward and give out the passage in the middle."
Lan Qizhang took a few more steps, and an unclean aura appeared in the miniature fantasy. On the ground was the round mountain of demon fire, and a one-eyed black wolf was floating on the top of the mountain.
"The first one will deal with Qi Wushang himself. As for the Mountain of Demon Fire--" Lan Qizhang quickly glanced at the Taoist priests and "Leave it to me to deal with it."
This is the decisive battle plan designed by Zuo Liuying. It was so simple that there were many loopholes. Mu Xingqiu and others looked at each other. After a while, Yang Qingyin spoke first, "Zuo Liuying, I know you never joke, and I also know you are very powerful. Please lower your eyes a little. Go over the stars, swallow smoke and feast, and then lower it... Look at us Taoist priests who inhale? Explain what you are going to do? What are we going to do?"
Zeng Fu, who was behind Zuo Liuying, laughed quietly, suddenly walked over and stopped Lan Qizhang who wanted to speak, "Let me explain, I don't even have a Taoist root, so I can raise my head to speak."
Zeng was stunned for a while. He seemed to be thinking about how to speak. It might be because he was receiving a prompt from Zuo Liuying. Suddenly she nodded, "I'd better use my words. Let's start from the beginning, a month ago, Qi Wushang sneaked into the Old Ancestor Peak. He was very smart and did not directly rob the Patriarch Tower that was heavily protected. Instead, he destroyed the Ancestor Tower first. The Mana of the Ancestor Tower is powerful, and its source is the Patriarch Tower, so after it was destroyed, the Patriarch Tower was also severely damaged. If the first one was forced to use the Patriarch Tower that night, it could kill Qi Wushang, and it might even prevent the Mountain of Demon Fire, but the Patriarch Tower would be completely damaged. The foundation of Pangshan would be gone."
The sacrifice of nearly four hundred Taoist priests only to preserve a Patriarch Tower sounds a bit cruel, and the Taoists feel sad, but they can understand. Ordinary Taoists can only live 100 or 200 years old, Zuo Liuying lived for hundreds of years, and if there is no accident in the future, the Patriarch Tower has existed for more than 100,000 years. Judging from the value alone, the latter is obviously more important.
Zeng Fu paused for a moment and added his own thoughts, "If it were me, I would protect people instead of the Patriarch Tower, so... I am very glad that I am not a Taoist priest and don't have to consider such a difficult problem."
She smiled and continued, "Although Qi Wushang used a strange method to obtain the demon pill and become a giant demon, he was not afraid of it. What really made the Daotongs avoid was the mountain of demon fire. Only by destroying it can Pang Mountain be recovered."
"Do we have to wait for the Demon Fire Mountain to come to us?" Mu Xingqiu had been puzzled by this matter for a long time.
"The core of the Demon Fire Mountain is the hearts of several demons. The first one is estimated to be about ten to twenty, and at least one of them originally belonged to a certain demon king." Zeng Fu still insisted on starting from the beginning.
"Is this thing?" Zeng Fu was more kind, and Xiao Qingtao dared to interrupt, pointing at the little thing like a date in Mu Xingqiu's hand, "It doesn't look as if it has that much power."
"It's useless now." Zeng Fu was stunned for a while, "Oh, that's it. A long time ago, the demon clan was defeated by the Taoist throne, and its body disappeared, leaving only the demon clan sent to the void. But before the demon clan perished, they buried some things in the land of the demons, including several hearts. I hope that one day when they return to the world, they can still use it. I want to say, this is a ridiculous idea... Well, it's not ridiculous. In short, these hearts were carefully hidden, some were dug out and destroyed, and some were missing until they were found by the demon clan."
"What kind of creature is the demon clan? Only the heart has such great power?" Shen Hao felt incredible.
"Your issue is too complicated. I'm afraid you have to spend a hundred years understanding it and join the Ban Secret Department." Zeng Fu said with a smile.
Shen Hao shook his head quickly. He liked the discipline department very much and had no idea of changing the Taoist department.
"But you should know that the environment in which the demons live is different from ours. Tens of thousands of years ago, the whole world was filled with unclean air. For the demons, that is the freshest air. Therefore, the heart of the demons can only exert its maximum power in places where unclean air is abundant. Like this one-" Zeng Fu pointed at the little thing in Mu Xingqiu's hand, "It was exposed to what we call normal environment, especially after being exposed to the sun, it shrank into this way, losing all its strength, and it was useless again."
Mu Xingqiu raised his arm and glanced at his wrinkled heart. He found that the bald man on his shoulder made an anxious squeak, so he handed it over, "Please take it and play."
The bald man immediately snatched the heart with a strand of hair and looked at everyone, "I have no heart, I want a useless head office, right?"
No one objected, and the Taoists already understood what Zeng Fu meant.
Yang Qingyin said, "So there must be unclean energy in front of the Demon Fire Mountain to open the way, so we must lead the demon army here and let the Demon Fire Mountain leave the originally scheduled route. But will Qi Wushang be fooled? He looks quite smart."
"After defeated all three battles, Qi Wushang will definitely come. If he comes, the Demon Fire Mountain will naturally come." Zeng Fu said affirmatively, pointing to the unclean aura in the miniature illusion. "The heart of the demon clan is wrapped with thick rocks, which is enough for it to travel hundreds of miles safely in the natural air. Although its power has decreased slightly, in the eyes of the demon clan, it can still easily crush Duanliu City."
"But the Ancestor Tower has been repaired, and it can defeat the Demon Fire Mountain with one move." Yang Qingyin rushed to say excitedly.
Zeng Fu shook his head with a smile. "That's impossible. Qi Wushang knows the power of the Ancestor Tower. When he sneaked into the Ancestor Peak, the strength of the Demon Fire Mountain was not as strong as it is now. The Ancestor Tower may have a chance. With a lot of magical arts, it is even more difficult for the Ancestor Tower to destroy it. What's more, Qi Wushang is now in the demon clan and responds to it. When he comes this time, he will definitely summon a large number of magical arts."
No one asked, everyone knew that Zuo Liuying must have a solution.
"The first one will use the Ancestor Tower to fight against Qi Wushang and the Magician, and then use their unexpected method to destroy the Mountain of Demon Fire. This method is - Lanqizhang."
Except for Zuo Liuying, everyone's eyes turned to Lan Qizhang in surprise. Strictly speaking, only when they reach the Xingluo realm can they be considered a real high-level Taoist priest. The Taoist priest swallowing the smoke was still a bit short. It is hard for everyone to believe that he could destroy the Demon Fire Mountain.
Lan Qizhang's expression remained unchanged, "All I want is a chance. As long as I can get close to the Demon Fire Mountain, your mission is to disperse the attention of the Demon Soldiers and Qi Wushang."
Mu Xingqiu suddenly reacted, "You want to use the art of breaking the alchemy. But... how is this possible? You should have also been blessed with the fundamental hidden method."
Zeng Fu was the one who explained it, "The first person to remove the fundamental method of escaping for him. Of course, first of all, he was willing to do so. Without any hesitation, the inner alchemy is closely related to the human heart. I don't want it, even if it is hidden, I cannot remove the power of protection."
Lan Qizhang once refined magic weapons with several Taoist priests. He said that his main direction of research was the art of breaking alchemy, but no one had heard it carefully. All Taoist priests will be blessed by the advanced Taoist priests shortly after the successful conversion of alchemy. However, they did not know much about it. Xin Youtao asked in a low voice: "What is the art of breaking alchemy? It's so powerful?"
Mu Xingqiu knew what the art of breaking alchemy was, and he almost experienced it. He looked at Lan Qizhang and felt awe in his heart, "The art of breaking alchemy is to make his inner alchemy explode and generate extremely powerful power."
"We are so powerful that we can destroy the Demon Fire Mountain? It's a real mountain with a bunch of demons' hearts inside." Xin Youtao was even more surprised.
Zeng Fu said again, "The main attack direction of the demon army is the southwest. The unclean aura arranged in the southeast is relatively thin. The power of the demon fire mountain will weaken. When it breaks away from the unclean aura and attacks Duanliu City, its power will weaken a little. As long as Lanqizhang can destroy the shell of the demon mountain, those hearts will be exposed to the sunlight and natural air, they will soon be exhausted. If Qi Wushang is deceived and is determined to guard against the ancestor tower, Lanqizhang will have a chance."
Yang Qingyin also stared at Lan Qizhang, "In this way, Lan Qizhang will die, and she will be crushed to pieces, her body and inner elixir, and she will not be able to keep anything. Why not try Mu Xingqiu's method today and rush to the inside of the demon mountain to let those hearts explode on their own?"
"That was a lucky chance." Zeng Fu said that Zuo Liuying seemed to know everything and explained through her mouth, "A heart requires time to accumulate strength, and multiple hearts can take turns to cast spells. The interior of the demon mountain is always full of flames, and no one can break in."
The courtyard was extremely quiet for a moment.
"I voluntarily die." Lan Qizhang said, his voice calm and unhesitated. "This is the only reason why I followed the first one to leave the Old Ancestor Peak. Although I was one step late, I was still willing to follow the pace of the martyrs of the Old Ancestor Peak."
