When night fell, Liu Hunkang had already rested in his room early.

Liu Guang's mansion was really big. Even though half of it was destroyed and many usable things were taken away by Liangshan's soldiers and horses, the remaining part was still enough to provide housing for all the Taoist officials.

Suddenly the wind blew slightly and the moonlight outside the window flickered.

Liu Hunkang turned over and sat up, and when he looked closely, he saw a young man wearing a white Songhe robe sitting at a round table in the room. Although he was wearing a Taoist robe, he didn't look like a Taoist priest at all.

This man's demeanor gave people a strong sense of peace and openness, as if they were not meeting each other in a small bedroom, but in a wild wilderness with high sky and vast grass and thousands of galloping horses.

"The big dragon head of Liangshan?"

Liu Hunkang said softly, "I've been famous for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen him. I'm so polite."

According to what Gou Ying and others said a while ago, Guan Luoyang was under siege, retreated in embarrassment, and fled back to the Liangshan military camp.

However, I only watched one side today, and Liu Hunkang already knew that the claims Gou Ying and others promoted in the military were too many and untrue.

"I have heard of Master Liu of the Qing Sect on Maoshan Mountain many times."

Guan Luoyang picked up the teapot, and when he poured out the cold tea, it had already brought steaming steam, a line of green jade, into the porcelain cup that was azure after the rain.

"There is a female general in our army. In the past, I was able to be on guard against the hidden dangers of practicing Taiqing Tianxin Theory. Thanks to Zhenren Liu, I was able to be on guard. She talked to me about Zhenren Liu many times, which made me consciously aware of Zhenren before I met him.

I have some understanding.”

Liu Hunkang smiled and said: "It turns out that the little killer has arrived in Liangshan, but she may not be very familiar with Pindao. Your Excellency, you are taking risks and coming here rashly. Aren't you afraid that it is too hasty?"

Guan Luoyang put down the teapot: "What the real person said is that listening at the same time will lead to enlightenment, but believing in partial belief will lead to darkness. So in addition to chatting with her, I also sent someone to visit the Qingzong on Maoshan Mountain."

He paused, looked at Liu Hunkang's expression, and said, "Oh, I should say please. After all, the old Taoist priest I invited has a very arrogant temperament and is extremely decisive in doing things."

After hearing this, Liu Hunkang lowered his head slightly, his facial features hidden in the shadow of the gauze curtain, and sighed after a long time.

"If you ask Lin Lingsu to go to Maoshan, the imperial soldiers who are responsible for guarding the disciples in Maoshan will naturally not be able to find out. But Lin Lingsu can find out that the people on Maoshan only have paper puppets and some fake bodies made of copper beans.

.”

After shaking his head, Liu Hunkang raised his eyes and said, "Children of Maoshan, where are they now?"

Guan Luoyang smiled: "Lin Lingsu followed the clues and found them all. Although he did not find them all, he invited 50% to 60% of them to be guests in Liangshan. Mr. Liu can rest assured that they are very respected among the people of Liangshan. They are happy and happy.

They all live happily.”

Guan Luoyang's words were true. Although everyone in Maoshan was in a smoking coma when they were brought back by Lin Lingsu, Guan Luoyang did not treat them badly.

These Taoist priests are very knowledgeable and can be used to continue to hold literacy classes for the people in the mountains and increase the scale of teaching people to read.

It's just that as the lord of Liangshan, he ran to Liu Hunkang in the middle of the night and said such words.

It's hard to say what Liu Hunkang will think after hearing this.

"Alas! It took them eight years to slowly escape from the supervision of the imperial court. This is because I knew that the corpse was about to be exterminated, and the people of Maoshan should not continue to be involved in the imperial court's affairs."

Liu Hunkang's expression suddenly became relaxed, "However, Emperor Tianming has restrained me for many years. It's not a bad idea to cause some chaos for him before escaping from the world. If you have any ideas, you can just tell me."

Guan Luoyang smiled and flicked the cup of hot tea steadily towards Liu Hunchang: "I just want to ask Master Liu to help the soldiers of the imperial court to eliminate evil and cure diseases..."

After a while, Liu Hunkang was the only one left in the room.

"He is so elusive that he will be feared later in life. If he were younger, he would at least have to arm-wrestle with him before talking about anything else."

Liu Hunkang held the tea cup and had only drank half of the hot tea in it when he heard someone shouting outside the door, asking him to discuss matters.

The messenger led Liu Hunkang out of the palace and went straight to the military field in the center of the city.

The compacted loess formed an open and flat field. Thousands of soldiers had gathered in the field. Many of them were not wearing neat clothes and armor. It was as if they had just gotten up from the tent and rushed here in a hurry. Every one of them had a little something on their face.

An uneasy look.

When they arrived at the ordering platform, Chen Xizhen was immediately greeted, looking so enthusiastic for the first time.

"Mr. Huayang, the people of Liangshan did not know what tricks they used to make many soldiers in the camp lose their shadow. You are the master of Maoshan and have profound Taoism. Do you know how to crack it?"

Liu Hunkang turned around to look, and sure enough, there were no shadows under the feet of the soldiers in the field. The moonlight shone on them, on their frightened faces whispering and looking around, and then on their feet. The land was covered with silvery sand.

The moonlight shines brightly.

The whole scene has a strange sense of lack.

Chen Xizhen practices the Longhu Mountain Zhenfa Dao method, but he concentrates on swordsmanship and luck methods, and also dabbles in the Five Elements Movement and Wind and Thunder techniques, but he doesn't have any profound insights in other matters.

Wang Laozhi only focused on alchemy.

Gou Ying and others also came to see it, but they had no clue and could not decipher it.

"If Mr. Huayang can't think of a way to crack it, he will have to send these people out of the city first and find a place to temporarily station."

Chen Xizhen looked calm and composed, but there was a hint of gloominess in his face, "But no matter what, we must find out how the people in Liangshan cast spells and cast spells as soon as possible, otherwise, more and more people will fall under this kind of spell."

Liu Hunkang waved his hand and said: "Don't be anxious, wait for me to take a closer look."

He randomly called a few soldiers and asked them if they had noticed anything unusual about themselves recently? When did they realize that they had no shadow tonight?

Then he asked Chen Xizhen and others, what is the difference between these soldiers and other soldiers who have no abnormalities?

Feng Hui said: "These people seem to be the weaker ones among the officers and soldiers, and some of them are even private soldiers who were mixed in not long ago. Recently, they often go to attack the Liangshan military camp."

"now it's right."

Liu Hunkang said, "When Chen Daozi bombarded Quancheng Mansion with artillery fire, all the paper figures and horses defending the city were blown to pieces and scattered in the city. These are the first layer of medium for casting spells, but they are still too weak. And this

When they went on an expedition for a while, they were all fighting with the colorful paper figures, and they were infected with each other's aura. This is the second layer of media."

"With these two layers of media, Zhang Wanxian can perform the "Three Forbidden Methods of Heavenly Spiritual Light", which is an undisclosed secret in the Dharma Book of Zuodao of the Three Mountains and Nine Lords. I also saw it from a fragment of the manual."

"If a person who has been affected by this kind of spell cannot find his or her own shadow before the rooster crows for the third time tomorrow, his soul will be lost and he will sleep on the spot."

Feng Hui asked curiously: "There are still chickens in Quan City now. Doesn't it matter if you can't hear the chicken crow?"

Liu Hunkang coughed lightly.

Gou Ying explained: "It is said that the lights are on at the third watch and the rooster crows at the fifth watch. Whenever the rooster crows mentioned in Taoism, it actually refers to the fifth watch."

An orderly soldier rushed over, urgently reporting that many people in the military camp had found themselves missing.

Chen Xizhen sent people to count and found that more than ten thousand people had been hit by this spell. He couldn't help but be surprised and angry: "Zhang Wanxian actually has such a method, which can kill tens of thousands of magic soldiers at the same time?!"

Liu Hunkang said: "This is almost a desperate move for him. Even if he succeeds, his vitality will be severely damaged. If someone breaks the law, he may die on the spot."

Chen Xizhen's eyes lit up and he quickly handed over his hand: "It sounds like Mr. Huayang has a way to crack it?"

Liu Hunkang said: "Please gather all those who have been cursed, count their numbers, and then go to the military camp to find an equal number of people who have not been cursed."

Chen Xizhen complied with the law.

Liu Hunkang also asked the more than 10,000 people who had not been cursed to take off their shirts and wrap red strips of cloth around their arms and heads to dress like jitong.

Authentic Taoism does not recognize the identity of "jitong" who can communicate between people and ghosts and gods. However, Liu Hunkang now wants to break the forbidden techniques of left Taoism, and he must use partiality to control deviation.

This kind of behavior made Chen Xizhen and others feel that it was right.

"The time for the old corpse to be exterminated is approaching. This should be my last move. Let's use this little weapon platform as a platform."

Liu Hunkang said, "You have to protect me. No matter what you see, you can't rush in to help me, and you can't let anyone disturb me."

Chen Xizhen nodded repeatedly and immediately invited many generals to arrange internal and external defenses. At this time, he did not relax his vigilance around the city. He still asked many generals to guard the city carefully and sent a large number of warlocks to take care of the gunpowder and baggage.

As for the dianbing platform, he, Wang Laozhi, Gou Ying, Wang Tianba, Feng Hui, Haransheng and others personally guarded it.

Liu Hunkang looked up at the sky and saw that it was already the third watch. He took off his hair crown, took off his boots, went barefoot with his hair disheveled, and walked to the center of the military command platform with a jade ruler in his hand.

I saw a slight tap of the jade ruler, and the center of the Dianbing platform immediately sunk. Countless water mist in the air gathered and formed droplets, which fell into the pit and quickly gathered into a small pool.

The more than 20,000 soldiers in front of the commanding platform all chanted in unison the short spell that Liu Hunkang had just taught them, which was less than ten syllables. They chanted it over and over again, over and over again, and again and again.

Repeatedly.

The dull sounds gradually converged into a huge hum. When Liu Hunkang waited for the wave of sound to reach a certain limit, he drew a circle in the air with his jade ruler and pointed toward the pool.

The hazy water surface suddenly seemed to be blown away by the strong wind, becoming as smooth as a mirror, revealing a clear figure.

It was Zhang Wanxian who was standing on a high platform somewhere, carrying a wooden stick and doing the magic.

The eyes of the two Taoists met across the water, and the jade ruler and wooden staff each traced mysterious trajectories, creating a strange sense of synergy.

The sky was full of wind and clouds, and the empty and lonely mood descended from the changing moonlight clouds onto the battlefield. The soldiers felt that the people around them were suddenly far away from them.

The sounds of those spells became more vague, resounding in every corner of the surrounding area. Everyone's eyelids began to fail to hold up, and they gradually became drowsy.

Suddenly a wave of waves exploded in the pool.

Liu Hunkang's face became solemn, full of magic power, and he shouted: "He can't defeat me in a battle, someone must come to disturb the altar."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a blue stream of light slowly rising in the night sky.

That cyan brilliance, dragging a slender tail flame, cut through the night sky, penetrated the wind and clouds, and quickly approached Quancheng.

“Well done!”

Chen Xizhen looked up to the sky and screamed, "You are finally coming to fight me for real!!"

Amidst the roar, he pinched the sword in his left hand and raised it, and the female sword of the two swords behind him unsheathed and flew out.

The powerful sword roared loudly, resounding passionately around the entire military field.
