Ask Sword

The sound of drums was loud and loud, echoing over the wilderness, and getting closer.

The welcoming team is composed of more than a hundred men, everyone is smiling, wearing colorful costumes, some are beating gongs and drums, and some are holding torches.

The flames were dim, and with the faint light, Li Ang and Pei Jing could vaguely see a bridegroom riding a horse in the middle of the welcoming team, wearing a red shirt, a white inner skirt, and black boots.

Jiang Gongfu.

Li Ang and Pei Jing looked at each other, their hearts sank.

The crimson official uniform is a dark red official uniform, usually worn by lower-ranking officials.

Yu law stipulates that when ordinary people get married, they can wear dresses of higher grade than their own, that is, "shesheng", to show the government's attitude of encouraging marriage.

Due to the custom of "shesheng", the crimson official dress is the most common groom's dress among the people.

It's just that the one on the bridegroom's official body seems a little too particular - there is a pattern of Luan's title and long ribbon on it.

"Welcome team?"

He Fanshuang, whose eyesight is not so good, could see clearly now, and moved his fingers to make a talisman pop out from the talisman plate on his right wrist, and held it in his palm.

The visitor is not good.

Although the folks in Yu State have a custom of welcoming relatives at night, there are no villages in front of this place, no shops in the back, and it is still along the railway line, so it is impossible for ordinary people to pass by.

The passengers in the carriage also heard the loud drumming, and rushed into the aisle in panic, discussing and asking questions.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient!"

Pei Jing immediately turned around, and said in a loud voice: "Next is Pei Jing, a student who has worked in the academy for three years, and my father is Yu Guoshangshu Zuopushe. These two are my classmates in the academy. Now this carriage has encountered a little trouble .

Please also return to your respective compartments, lock the compartment doors, pull down the windows and curtains, and ring the Haotian Bell.

No matter what noise you hear, no matter what noise you hear outside the window or door, don't open the door or draw the curtains!

We will protect you all. "

Passengers who can sit in the nineteenth luxury car at night are often either rich or expensive, so they naturally know some rumors about the mutation, and can tell that the decoration of the three people really belongs to the academy.

And Shang Shu Zuo Pushe, plus the surname Pei, is also convincing enough.

The panicked voices in the aisle stopped suddenly, and the passengers hesitated to return to their respective compartments, following Pei Jing's instructions.

"Shiro?"

The guards of the Pei family, holding Pei Jing's younger brother who didn't know what happened, walked through the aisle and came forward.

"You take Qilang and enter the compartment as well."

Pei Jing spoke quickly and said to the guards: "Set up the warning talismans, and even if you hear my voice later, don't open the door."

After finishing speaking, he looked at an old man in brocade clothes behind the guards, and said solemnly to him, "Lao Wan, stay and help me."

"Um."

The old man known as Wan Lao nodded slowly. He seemed to be the entourage sent by Pei Jing's family to protect him. There was no aura around him, just like a rich man—except for the thick layer of calluses on his ten fingers and the backs of his hands. Old scars.

Li Ang was surprised but not that surprised. In the past half a year since the academic exchange, Pei Jing also followed in the footsteps of Li Ang and He Fanshuang, reaching the high level of listening to the rain.

This level still needs guards, so they can only be monks in the Cloud Patrol Realm—impossible in the Candle Sky Realm. Pei Jing was not sure about inheriting the entire family business.

Seeming to have misunderstood Li Ang's subtle expression, Pei Jing explained: "Qilang is my brother of the same father and mother. He has been kept in Luoyang's grandparents' house all year round. Recently, he has shown his talent in cultivation, so he asked me to bring him back to Chang'an."

He Fanshuang narrowed his eyes and said, "Heavenly Enlightened One?"

"Um."

Pei Jing nodded.

Those who are young and have not carried out any systematic cultivation, but are able to influence the spiritual energy of the world with their deep talents, are called Tianjue.

If ordinary people practice, they need to tap the potential of Qi Sea like digging a reservoir,

Then the sea of ​​qi of the heavenly enlightened person is largely developed innately. In the initial stage of practice, the speed is much faster than that of ordinary people.

In the ancient times, the sky-enlightened beings emerged in endlessly, and reached their peak during the Jin Dynasty. However, as the "pure blood" family gradually disappeared, the frequency of the sky-enlightened beings appeared less and less, and there have been no instances for a long, long time.

It is really rare for the Pei family to produce such one.

Li Ang glanced at the closed door and said nothing more, now is not the time to talk about it.

"Four?"

A middle-aged man in a plain gown approached, holding a waist badge in his hand, "This is the magistrate of Zhenfu Siduji, Sun Xinzhi, one of the conductors accompanying this train."

conductor?

Li Ang glanced at the waist card in the middle-aged man's hand. The patterns and textures on it are correct, and it is the certificate of the Zhenfu Department.

Pei Jing frowned and asked, "Why didn't you say that just now?"

Sun Xinzhi explained: "I just didn't know the situation of the incident, and I was worried that there was another reason for the change."

The sound of drum music and the welcoming procession were getting closer and closer, interrupting Sun Xinzhi's words,

The distance between the two sides was only two hundred steps left.

You can clearly see the appearance of the bridegroom official in the middle of the welcoming team.

Handsome, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his face seemed to have been smeared with too much makeup, showing a greasy texture.

"Don't let them get any closer."

Li Ang said immediately. The visitor was not kind, and they couldn't move the carriage, which weighed more than 20 tons by itself, and had to consider the passengers inside and whether there were other enemies secretly watching.

We must find a way to stop the opponent.

Li Ang got out of the carriage and raised his right arm towards the sky.

call out--

On the wrist of the right hand, the ingenious crossbow that had not been played for a long time reappeared in the sky.

The machine expanded again and again, and shot a crossbow arrow wrapped in talismans towards the sky above the welcoming team.

Boom!

The talisman activated itself in mid-air, forming a round fireball. Apart from the great momentum, it also set off a turbulent air current.

The welcoming team was blown by the air current, and the clothes made loud noises, but no one stopped, and everyone marched towards the carriage in unison.

call out--

Another talisman arrow burst above the welcoming team, but there was still no response.

These people seemed to be unaware of the huge light and loud noise, or the threat of death, walking on their own, constantly shortening the distance between the two sides.

"Let me do it."

He Fanshuang clamped an earthen talisman with two fingers, and threw it into the wind.

The railroad was made of materials similar to the walls of the imperial palace, which could resist spell effects to a certain extent, so He Fanshuang's target was not the railroad tracks, but the mud beside the railroad tracks.

When the soil talisman fell on the ground, the surrounding soil immediately melted into mud,

Li Ang understood instantly, released his thoughts, and drove the mud to cover the surface of the railway, and piled up to form an upward slope, forming a road.

Bypass the carriage they are in and connect directly to the rear rail.

However, the welcoming team walked over the sloping dirt slope, ignoring the newly paved road, and walked straight towards the carriage.
