Chapter 48 The Path of a Wizard
The mummy who claimed to be the great wizard Wu Mo of Kunwu country, what he did was easy to guess - it was nothing more than borrowing a body to be reborn.
But he did it too crudely, with little disguise, how could he deceive Jiang Shan? If it weren't for Zhi and Shi, the brother and sister, Jiang Shan would have smashed the skeleton at the entrance of the cellar with one punch and turned around and left.
They will not be led to the cemetery at all.
The wizard who called himself Wu Mo must have been a powerful figure; if he had not been a dried corpse with a breath left, his power must have been greatly weakened, which is why he was killed by Jiang Shan.
It was a false alarm.
But there are also extra benefits.
Jiang Shan was not busy counting the harvest, but asked Zhong Yu indirectly: "How did the Kunwu Kingdom perish? I mean, how did the Cheng Tang army break through the capital of the Kunwu Kingdom?"
Zhong Yu said: "I didn't see it myself. I only heard from Yuan Xin that it was Wu Guang, a general under Xue Guolai Zhu, the right-hand man of Cheng Tang, who broke the formation of Kunwu State Capital with his overwhelming strength and killed the Lord of Kunwu State and the Great Wizard and others."
"Xue Guolai Zhu? Wu Guang?" Jiang Shan said.
Zhong Yu said: "Xue State was the first state to turn to Cheng Tang. Its ruler Lai Zhu awakened the blood of the red snake and had long cultivated great supernatural powers, making him one of the strongest men in the world. He had three great generals, all of whom were good at fighting, and Wu Guang was one of them."
Jiang Shan chewed on the information in his words and asked again: "It is said that Xue State and Kunwu State are both vassal states. Xue State's ruler Lai Zhu only sent one general, so he should not be able to destroy Kunwu State."
Zhong Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I used to think so too."
"But Fang countries have strong and weak ones. Kunwu country is not strong, and is much weaker than Xue country."
"The most famous warrior in Kunwu is the great wizard Wu Mo. He is a soul wizard with strange and vicious magic. He used wizard methods to make the capital of Kunwu like an iron barrel that cannot be poured in. But who could have thought that he would be defeated so miserably by Wu Guang!"
"So he is dead?" Jiang Shan asked.
Although Zhong Yu's face was childish, his sigh showed a lot of vicissitudes: "Yes, he must have died at the hands of Wu Guang, otherwise how could the Kunwu Kingdom be destroyed?"
Jiang Shan couldn't help but secretly thought: "He didn't die at the hands of Wu Guang, but I beat him to pieces!"
Afterwards, Jiang Shan asked Zhong Yu some more questions about wizards, and only then did he realize that wizards, as another way to become stronger in this world, also had a long history.
"A wizard is someone who communicates with heaven and earth, controls all things, and drives away ghosts and gods."
"It is said that the path of wizards originated from the Ten Wizards of Lingshan. Legend has it that in ancient times, a goddess used her body to repair the sky. When her body disintegrated, a section of her intestines fell off. The Ten Wizards of Lingshan were conceived from the goddess' intestines."
"They are born with the power to communicate with the creation of heaven and earth and control the natural spirits and gods."
When Jiang Shan heard this, a bright light suddenly flashed in his heart.
The Ten Witches of Lingshan, on his side, existed in a book called Shanhaijing. As for the goddess who sacrificed herself to repair the sky, who else could it be but Nuwa? !
This reminded Jiang Shan of the legend of "Nuwa's Intestines".
It is said that the ten gods born from Nuwa's intestines are the Ten Witches of Lingshan? After traveling through time and space in the past, he obtained the Nine Cauldrons Mysterious Art, knew the name of King Yu, saw the ferocious beast, and knew about Zhang'e Mountain. Jiang Shan went back and looked up the knowledge about this in his own world.
Although the knowledge of the two worlds may not necessarily be interconnected.
As Zhong Yu spoke, Jiang Shan gradually gained a clearer understanding of the wizard path that originated from the Ten Wizards of Lingshan.
The path of a wizard also relies on blood awakening.
But the practice of wizards is different from the practice of Jiuding Xuan Gong.
There are many different branches of wizards, such as the soul wizard of the great wizard Wu Mo of Kunwu Kingdom; there are also insect wizards, spirit wizards, divination wizards, war wizards and so on.
Under these branches, many small branches have evolved.
For example, under the spirit wizard, there are beast wizards, bird wizards, etc., which are mostly different derivatives based on the environment in which the wizard lives.
Jiang Shan was pondering the wizard's methods, while Zhong Yu extended the topic of the wizard to the situation he was facing.
"I'm sure Cheng Tang will send someone to hunt me down. Even if I hide in the secret realm of Huangyu Village, I won't be able to escape. The reason is the wizard."
"A fortune teller can predict the secrets of the world. A fortune teller with strong cultivation knows almost all the secrets of the world."
The word "wizard" gives people a sense of weirdness and mystery at first glance. Jiang Shan and Wu Mo only had a brief confrontation, but he already had a deep understanding of it.
He originally thought that since Huangyu Village was so safe, Zhongyu had to take the risk to go to Nanchao. Now it seems that there are many reasons.
At the same time, I felt more alert.
That is to say, the sorcerer can predict the secrets of heaven, and the powerful ones know all the secrets; then, he is probably sending Zhongyu to Nanchao on the way, and the dangers on the road are more than he imagined! Seeing that it was getting dark, Jiang Shan went into the woods and hunted a wild animal to roast.
While eating, he said, "Let's rest here tonight and continue our journey tomorrow. Since we have concerns about the witchcraft, we can't stay in one place for too long."
Zhong Yu nodded: "Yes. The outside world is not like Huangyu Village. Huangyu Village is a secret place after all, and naturally has some mysteries that conceal the secrets of heaven."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Jiang Shan said: "I checked carefully, the direction of Cheng Tang's army's movement is southeast. Maybe they have crossed the Dan River and went to Gu State. We are just following them."
Hearing this, Zhong Yu frowned and said, "Probably not yet."
He said: "Guguo is loyal to the Xia emperor and is an enemy of Cheng Tang, just like Kunwu. Cheng Tang's army is heading southeast, which is not unexpected. He will definitely attack Guguo. But the Danshui River is not easy to cross."
He said: "According to the records in the classics, the Danshui contains a strange rule that prohibits any existence from flying over the Danshui. They can only swim across it."
“Or build a large ferry to carry people across the river.”
"And only boats made from bamboo from a bamboo mountain in Gu State, south of the Dan River, can carry people."
"Cheng Tang's army is certainly powerful, and Wu Guang is certainly strong, but facing the Dan River, he will definitely be helpless."
"What's more, Gu State is famous for its navy. If the navy guards the Dan River, the army of Cheng Tang can only sigh in despair."
At this point, Zhong Yu raised his head and said to Jiang Shan: "I guess Cheng Tang's army is currently blocked by the Dan River."
Jiang Shan couldn't help but ask, "According to what you said, even if we ignore the threat and obstruction of the Cheng Tang army, how can we cross the Dan River?"
Zhong Yu smiled and said, "I have a way."
Jiang Shan's heart moved when he heard this. Thinking of Zhong Yu's identity and the treasures he took out from time to time, he guessed that Zhong Yu might have made some preparations.
"That's the best."
After changing the topic and chatting for a while, Zhongyu fell into a deep sleep.
After Zhongyu fell asleep, Jiang Shan took out the spoils from Wu Mo and examined them carefully.
It was unknown what material the torn black robe was made of. Although it was torn into pieces, Jiang Shan could not tear off even a single piece despite trying his best - the torn appearance must have been caused by Wu Guang.
Thanks to this, the black robe was torn into pieces, otherwise Jiang Shan might not be able to kill Wu Mo's mummy and even break its defense.
Then came the bag with colorful silk threads. Jiang Shan recognized it immediately as a Qiankun bag, which was very similar to the Qiankun bag that Zhongyu had given him.
