Piles of bonfires were lit inside the village, and the barbarian soldiers responsible for setting up defenses and patrolling were behind the archery tower and the village wall, watching the movements in the dark night vigilantly.
In addition, the day and night patrols also bring ghost messengers with them, patrolling outside Zhuangzi.
These are all precautionary measures on the surface.
After all, there are many wild beasts and demons at night, and this village is located outside the city and cannot be protected by the city guards and magic circles. If there are no means of self-protection, even if we can use the high walls and deep courtyards to stop the attacking beasts
, and can’t resist demons and ghosts.
What's more, in the recent period, many defeated troops have fled back to Qingtang, which has greatly affected public security. It is very dangerous even during the day, let alone at night. Qin Shaoyou did something like this in Zhuangzi
Not only would the battle not arouse the suspicion of Zikander, Urvo and others, it would actually make them feel that this Dazan, in addition to being lucky and winning people's hearts, also had some real abilities.
As for day and night patrols and ghost missions, Qin Shaoyou is not afraid of being discovered.
After all, there were wizards following the Dazan leader. And they had just escaped from the battlefield and had trained some ghost soldiers for him to send. It was not surprising.
However, in addition to these obvious methods, Qin Shaoyou also asked Qiurong and Shadow Demon to participate in patrolling and guarding inside and outside Zhuangzi.
In addition to her ability to play drums to boost military morale, Qiurong also has an uncanny ability. As long as she doesn't want to be discovered, it will be difficult for people who are far more powerful than her to discover her.
As for the shadow demon, once it gets into the shadow, it is also difficult to detect.
It's perfect for them to serve as secret sentries.
In addition, the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, disguised as the god worshiped by the Qingtang people, is also exerting the ability to monitor the surroundings.
After checking the sentry posts of the barbarian soldiers, Qin Shaoyou returned to his room. He first put a stick of incense on the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch and asked him to smoke to sober up and not to desert during the night shift.
Every day in Qingtang, you must be careful and avoid making any mistakes.
"Um?"
Qin Shaoyou finished putting on the incense and was about to wash up and rest. But when he turned around, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the incense he had just put on. The smoke surged rapidly in front of the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, condensing into the word "dream".
After confirming that Qin Shaoyou had seen it, the word "dream" immediately dissipated and turned into a curl of green smoke, which was inhaled by the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch.
"It is impossible for the Patriarch Statue to say a word for no reason. He is warning me! The dream...could it be said that the Qingtang people are planning to test or interrogate us in the dream?"
Qin Shaoyou thought quickly in his heart.
On the way to Qingtang, Qin Shaoyou secretly discussed various situations that would be encountered during this trip with Qin Qiaoer, Cui Yougui and others.
Encountering an enemy in a dream was exactly a situation they had considered.
When they were investigating the Marquis of Dongchuan in Qingtang Acropolis, they discovered that there were people here in Qingtang who were good at using the method of entering dreams to communicate and discuss secrets with others in their dreams.
Since we can communicate in dreams, we cannot rule out that we can confuse people or even kill people in dreams!
So Qin Shaoyou and the others took some precautionary measures against this situation early on.
However, I still want to remind everyone so that they don't fall for it due to negligence.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou put another stick of incense on the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch and thanked him in a low voice: "Master Patriarch, please take two more puffs of cigarette and I will serve you new dishes in two days."
Immediately he opened the door and walked out, called all the people with senior status and above, and ordered: "Everyone has been working hard these days. Except for those who are responsible for the night watch, everyone else should have a good sleep tonight."
Sleep. We have returned to Qingtang, so there is no need to worry anymore."
The commanders of the barbarian soldiers responded in unison.
Qin Qiaoer, Cui Yougui, Zhu Xiucai and others, although they agreed verbally, they heard the code hidden in Qin Shaoyou's words and knew that Qin Shaoyou was reminding them that something would happen after they fell asleep, allowing them to
Everyone, please be alert.
Something happened after I fell asleep? It was probably the people from Qingtang, and I wanted to use the dream spell on them.
Although they were curious about how Qin Shaoyou knew the news, Qin Qiaoer and others did not ask questions because they all knew that in this village, there were not only surveillance witchcraft set up by the Qingtang people, but also spies sent by them.
There are many things that are not suitable to be said at this time.
Seeing that Qin Qiaoer and others understood what he meant, Qin Shaoyou turned around and returned to the house.
After washing, he did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he lay on the bed and started breathing.
Qin Shaoyou's current identity is Dazan. In this Zhuangzi, there are spies sent by the Qingtang people and surveillance witchcraft released. Therefore, skills and talents such as Xuanwu True Skill and [Swallowing the Moon] are not easy to use.
This is the time to practice.
The breathing method is quiet and integrates the practice into the breathing rhythm. Even if there are spies hidden in the dark or surveillance witchcraft, no problems will be found.
After practicing for a while, Qin Shaoyou fell asleep.
If he doesn't sleep, he is afraid that he will use the dream-entrance technique, and he will be suspicious of the person who wants to enter his dream.
Soon, Qin Shaoyou fell asleep, but no uninvited guest immediately appeared in his dream.
It was not until Yinshi that Qin Shaoyou, who was sleeping soundly, heard a voice calling him in his dream.
The voice was not calling 'Dazan', nor was it 'Qin Shaoyou', but a call whose content was difficult to distinguish, but it made Qin Shaoyou feel that it was calling him, and that it was very familiar, and that it was someone close to him calling.
The moment this voice appeared, Qin Shaoyou's state underwent a very strange change.
He was obviously still asleep and dreaming, but his consciousness suddenly became clear.
It's true awakening, not the kind of false awakening that people think they are awake in a dream.
This was a method deployed by the Taoist priests of Jade Emperor Temple, and it worked.
After judging that the people here in Qingtang might use the dream-entrance technique on them, Qin Shaoyou asked the Taoist priests of Yuhuang Temple to help think of countermeasures.
Finally, with the efforts of Su Jianqing, Zeng Cong and others, a batch of talismans were produced for everyone to carry around.
This amulet will take effect when the dream is invaded by outsiders, making the wearer instantly conscious and able to terminate the dream at any time.
With this talisman, you don't have to be afraid even if you are attacked by an enemy in your dream. Even if you can't kill the opponent and terminate the dream to escape, there is no problem at all.
And as long as the dream is not forcibly terminated, the person who invades the dream will not notice the problem.
Qin Shaoyou, who had regained consciousness at this moment, pretended to look around for the source of the shouting, and responded: "Who? Who is calling me?"
The voice didn't answer, but continued to call him.
Qin Shaoyou changed his mind and understood.
As Dazan, he responded: "Is it Chizhu?"
This Chizhu is the nickname of Dazan's wife.
Following Qin Shaoyou's response, Dazan's wife Chizhu actually appeared in the dream, holding a two or three-year-old child in her arms, looking at him eagerly: "Dazan, you are alive.
It’s great to be back.”
Qin Shaoyou knew that the first level had passed.
If he hadn't responded as Dazan just now, his secret would have been exposed.
Thank you for your concern. My mother's surgery went well.
