Chapter 239 [Five Poisons](1/2)
"boom!"
"Wow!"
A cry of pain was heard in the house, and Cheng Yu, who was standing on the courtyard wall, saw Zhang Baogu running out with his forehead covered, and bright red blood dripping down his fingers to the ground.
"thump!"
Liu Dalang caught up from behind, tore off the obstructive green scarf on his head, jumped up and knocked Zhang Baogu down, rode on him and beat him, and asked him who he was and why he was hiding in a cupboard in his house.
Zhang Baogu, who was suppressed below, was shielding himself and trying to avoid it, but he also kept saying that he would find something first before talking.
Madam Liu chased her out and was busy trying to persuade her, while the thin woman brought back by Liu Dalang hid behind the door, trembling and crying.
The four people made a fuss, but no one noticed that the fragrance in the courtyard was even worse than before.
After a few breaths, the two men felt more and more weak and weak as they fought, as if all the strength in their bodies had been sucked out of thin air.
"ah!"
Liu Dalang suddenly shouted loudly, stopped holding his head and cried out in pain. Zhang Baogu, who was pressed underneath, also felt dizzy for a while.
Behind them, two women, one tall and one thin, also rubbed their foreheads and shook, and finally fell to the ground one after another.
Zhang Baogu seemed to be the strongest among the four people present. When the other three were unable to help themselves, he was still able to push Liu Dalang out of his body.
After Liu Dalang was knocked to the ground, he hit the ground head first and passed out.
Only then did Zhang Baogu finally free himself, and struggled to crawl towards Mrs. Liu. In his ears, he vaguely heard screams from the surrounding neighbors.
He reluctantly crawled to Mrs. Liu. He already had a splitting headache that could no longer be sustained. His ears were roaring, his eyes seemed to be hallucinating, and the surrounding air began to twist like a stream of heat.
This heat flow generated rapidly from bottom to top, and covered a huge area. It seemed to have encompassed the entire town, and finally closed and closed over the town, forming a huge transparent bubble.
After the invisible blisters closed up and took shape, a few breaths later, Zhang Baogu was almost unconscious, and the exploding headache suddenly became much lighter, and at the same time, the original strong fragrance became weaker and weaker until it completely disappeared.
Zhang Baogu rubbed his forehead vigorously as if he had died, and looked up. There was only a cloudless blue sky and a scorching sun above his head. There were no hot water blisters. He thought it was due to his headache and dizziness.
At the same time, the cries of pain from the neighbors gradually subsided. Zhang Baogu grabbed the soft boneless hands of Mrs. Liu beside him and rubbed them repeatedly. After the other party said that he was okay, he repeatedly confirmed that he
Think of that dice.
So he lowered his head and groped back and forth on the ground, completely ignoring the sparrow on the wall, holding a kit in its talons, spreading its wings and flying towards the outside of the town.
…
"Master, listen! The town is starting to howl, it's done!"
"Hush! Silence! Wait until the Five Poisons make it clear. We are still doing it now, so don't make any nonsense."
"Yes, our master is wise and arranged for the Five Poisons to come here early in the morning, so that he can take down that guy without anyone noticing. Otherwise, with just the few of us, we really don't know how to find someone in this town.
How long will it take to find it?"
"Hmph, if we hadn't met Katsura Saburo halfway, we wouldn't have known that he was actually still in this town. If we went to that guy's house rashly, not only would we miss the point, but we might also miss the opportunity for him to escape...
I'll stick to the old rules later, look for that guy first, and wait until I get what I want, and then you can go play in the town, huh! Even if I invite the Five Poisons to come out, I can't let you go away with nothing, right?
.”
"Yes! You guys have thanked me for the gift!"
Before Cheng Yu flew out of the town, he heard the discussion between shopkeeper Song and his subordinates in front of him.
But what surprised him was that Ge Sange, whom he had rescued before, actually fell into the opponent's clutches again.
It must be that Brother Ge San was injured and couldn't walk fast, and he happened to be overtaken by Shopkeeper Song and the others in the same direction. It was unlucky, but fortunately Cheng Yu listened carefully and found that Ge San Ge's breathing was rapid, but it was not bad.
If it's strong, your life should be fine.
Just now on the wall of Lady Liu's courtyard, when Liu Dalang entered the room, Cheng Yu also smelled a strange fragrance almost at the same time.
Having had similar experiences before, he was very sensitive to this sudden fragrance. Moreover, this strange fragrance was seven parts unfamiliar and three parts familiar.
He was thinking on the wall of the courtyard, but something unexpected happened in the courtyard below him. Zhang Baogu ran out injured from the back room, and started fighting with Liu Dalang in the courtyard.
The two of them were slapping each other, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger. It was so strong that Cheng Yu could finally perceive with his spiritual consciousness that this strange fragrance was driven and controlled by a spiritual power outside the town.
Seeing that the four people in the courtyard were dying, but he felt nothing at all, he expected that someone was casting a spell that only targeted mortals.
Hearing the wailing sounds from almost the entire town, Cheng Yu knew that he could not wait any longer, so he hurriedly recited the mantra silently and set up the barrier again.
First, cover the entire town directly, and then use your soul power to control all the fragrance in the barrier to the top of the barrier to ensure the safety of everyone in the town below.
Fortunately, Cheng Yu had been busy since he learned the barrier spell from the black dragon, especially on the way to Beijing by boat.
Not only is he proficient in using the blinding techniques in the barrier, but he also relies on the memory of the demon-subduing barrier in Qian's ancestral hall in Qingchuan to figure out a set of his own techniques. He only needs to inject his own soul power into the barrier, and then control it.
With thoughts, the evil spirits inside and outside the barrier can be controlled, driven, or screened and filtered.
When he controlled the strange fragrance that spread into the town, he felt a familiar feeling again, but not much, just a hint.
After the town was stabilized, Cheng Yu hurriedly flew towards the place outside the town where the spiritual energy fluctuations were strongest.
He had a hunch that he would meet some old acquaintances again this time.
Unexpectedly, before flying out of the town, I heard the discussion of shopkeeper Song and his party.
Ah!
An acquaintance is an acquaintance, but he is not old.
As soon as we continued flying to the outside of the town, we saw two groups of people sitting on a piece of grass less than a mile away from the edge of the town.
The group near the edge of the forest was none other than Shopkeeper Song and several of his men, as well as Ge Sange, who was lying on the ground breathing heavily.
Cheng Yu glanced at them and turned to look at the open space on the other side. There were five people wearing yellow gowns with disheveled hair, all sitting cross-legged.
Judging from the body shape, these five people are all thin and dry, with long white hair hanging loosely covering their faces, and only their mouths and gray beards can be barely seen.
From a distance, they look like five skinny grass men in yellow clothes, each with a large thatched bird's nest on their head.
The five poisons that Shopkeeper Song and the others mentioned before should undoubtedly be these five strange old men.
Among the five people, four were seated according to the east, west, south and north positions, and the last one was sitting cross-legged in the middle. They all made rostrums with their palms facing the sky, and at the same time silently recited words. Cheng Yu could not hear what they were saying.
.
The five people were sitting in the weeds, seemingly forming a magic circle. The mouths of the four people on the periphery kept moving, and a stream of spiritual power poured out of their mouths, converging on the mouth of the center.
The sitting posture of the man in the middle was slightly different from the others. He raised his neck to the sky, absorbed the spiritual power of the other four people into his mouth, and spit out a thicker stream at the same time, heading straight towards the town.
It seems that the person in the middle is the formation eye.
But based on Cheng Yu's spiritual perception, it looked more like they were kissing each other in the air, and even kissing each other...
Forehead……
Cheng Yu shook his head, forcibly cut off the strange associations in his mind and continued flying forward. As the distance gradually got closer, the fragrance became stronger.
Not knowing the origin of these five poisons, Cheng Yu planned to rescue Brother Ge San first.
Just as he turned around and flew toward Shopkeeper Song and the others, he caught a glimpse of the Five Poisons Array on the other side. The person in the center of the array suddenly stretched out his hands and shouted: "Take it!"
Then all five people stopped chanting silently and took back their spiritual power. Then the man with the eyes put his hands on his knees and stood up with a hunched body. He lifted his hair and revealed a pair of turbid old eyes, looking towards the quiet town.
The other four people did not stand up, but slowly raised their heads to look at the person in the formation.
"snort!"
The man in front of the array could not see his expression. He only heard a secret snort, raised his right foot and stepped lightly. A small stream of dust rolled up from under his feet, splitting the clumps of weeds, and "swished" all the way towards Shopkeeper Song.
As he left, Cheng Yu couldn't help but think of Tu Xingsun.
The dust rushed all the way to Shopkeeper Song's feet, and then rose up to wrap it up, scaring several of his men into hiding.
"Whoosh!"
The cloud of dust floated back to the Five Poisons in the blink of an eye. The man in front of the formation opened his mouth and said the word "disperse", and Shopkeeper Song appeared from it. He was confused and didn't know what happened.
"Mr. Song, does that man in the town really have no backer?"
Shopkeeper Song saw the question from the leader of the Five Poisons. After coming back to his senses, he shook his head first, then turned to look at Brother Ge San lying on the ground in the distance, and scratched his head again.
After Wudu asked, he was not sure whether Ge San's words were reliable at this time.
"Senior brother! Could it be...that it's them?"
One of the Five Poisons suddenly whispered to the people in the formation, and the other Poisons finally couldn't sit still and all got up on guard.
"Hmph! Mr. Song, thank you Song family for taking care of my brother over the years. However, my brother has also helped your family many times, so why don't you and I just put it aside and say goodbye!"
After the person in the formation finished speaking, he would take the other four people to leave immediately without waiting for Shopkeeper Song's response. However, he heard Shopkeeper Song sniffing and saying:
"smell good!"
"thump!"
Shopkeeper Song fell to the ground before he finished speaking, his whole body twitching and unconscious, but there was an inexplicable smile on his lips.
On the other side, several of his men were in the same situation. Only Ge Sange was left half lying on the ground, looking around at a loss.
Cheng Yu landed on the branch, summoned his soul and looked over. The three soul fires on Shopkeeper Song and several other subordinates had been extinguished, and several dead souls were drifting towards the capital.
Just now, he cast spells while flying and quietly moved the barrier covering the town here, but narrowed the range to one of the ten, just above the heads of Wudu and Shopkeeper Song and his group. After protecting Ge Sange,
To be continued...
