Chapter 26: Burn the Boats Qian Bacun’s face was pale, he did not…
Qian Bacun's face was pale. He turned around without hesitation, returned to the carriage, and began to use his supernatural power in front of the bronze mirror.
He Si can't hold on for long alone.
If Helan didn't have to guard in front of everyone, she, who had the second most ghost power, would be the best candidate to deliver the ghost power to the Bronze Mirror Ferry. But, it's not possible, because there are villagers and children in the team.
Qian Bacun made the decision without even having to be told. If the situation really came to a point where it was irreversible, he would sacrifice his life first and let Lady Bronze Mirror take the baby and the strange plant and run away first, while they, the old immortals, would stay here to cover the rear. At least they could leave a way out for the village. Alu and the baby have talent, strange plants and strange weapons, so they will be able to make a comeback sooner or later.
Helan didn't look at Qian Bacun either. She knew that Qian Bacun had the same idea as her, or rather, the entire guard team had the same idea. Everyone smiled on the surface, but in fact, they had made a decision in their hearts.
It's not that they don't want to run. The moment they discovered the snakes and drought monsters, their group of refugees could no longer escape.
There is still a large group of Huangli-level descendants of the strange god. According to the stone magician, the snake sons are considered to be the stronger ones among the descendants of the strange god. At that time, everyone had already given up their luck. If someone looked at the entire fleeing team at this time, they would find something wrong.
Mainly in the ancestral hall carriage in the center, many children and even young adults gathered not far from Ye Lu's carriage. This area happened to be within the deepest protection range of the bronze mirror. There were also two restrained and silent adults protecting the group of children.
The people in He Village were very careful in their movements, and the refugees outside could not detect them at all.
When the people from He Village who were in the fleeing team saw that their children were about to be taken away, they saw the expressions of the two men and suddenly seemed to understand something. The smiles on their faces paused, but soon softened. They still looked as if they were doing, and pushed their children.
"Go, follow these two uncles, your parents will be here soon, remember to be obedient." These people admonished their children with a normal look on their faces.
The children didn't understand what was going on, but as they were sensible people they knew their parents were busy, so they obediently followed the two adults to the village where the bronze mirror was.
The door of Ye Lu and his companions' carriage was also knocked.
"Lu kid, Axi kid, Agui kid, come on, go out with your seventh uncle and lie down!" A cheerful voice came from the door.
The three people in the carriage paused and looked outside the carriage together. The door curtain was lifted from the outside, revealing Uncle He Qi's smiling face.
Uncle He Qi smiled brightly and gently, and waved to the three kids when he saw them.
Ye Lu opened his eyes and looked at Uncle He Qi. He seemed to understand something.
The ghost scholar paused. He never expected that he would be called as well.
Where is the playful man? He tilted his head and stared straight at the man who was coming over. He looked at him with a confused look.
"Hurry, come, Master He is calling us." Uncle He Qi pulled Ye Lu and went to the carriage near the ancestral hall without hesitation. The carriage was very spacious. When Ye Lu and the other two arrived, there were already quite a few people in the carriage, including children and young men, all of whom had some supernatural powers.
"Lu, you must be obedient in the future." Uncle He Qi was still instructing Ye Lu and the other three, and at the same time he pushed the ghost scholar and the playboy who were outside inside. At this time, even the dumbest person could see that something was wrong.
The playful man hasn't moved yet.
The ghost scholar took the lead in grabbing He Qijiu's sleeve, and he said calmly: "What are you going to do?" This was too much like entrusting an orphan to someone else. The only thing they didn't expect was that He Cun included Dao Ye in it, and he actually included them as well. Did they join He Cun later?
The ghost scholar was in a very complicated mood. What Hecun called acceptance actually meant that he accepted everything?
Uncle He Qi paused, scratched his head, and realized that the ghost scholar understood.
"Why don't you ask us what we can do?" The ghost scholar asked back. His voice was very soft and the children in the carriage were also whispering, so their conversation could not be heard for the time being.
"What can you do?" He Qijiu shook his head. He thought the ghost scholar was concerned about the safety of the new place. Oh, even little kids are like this. He said to comfort them: "Don't worry, the Bronze Mirror Lady will protect you little kids. We are adults, and the Lady can't take care of so many people."
"When the time comes, Goddess Bronze Mirror will protect you. Asan and Si, you are not people without sense of propriety. You just need to find a new place to plant the strange plants and repair the village. Do you hear me?" The people who can protect the children must have been carefully selected by the village, and their willpower is beyond doubt.
As for what would happen to them after Lady Bronze Mirror withdrew and they were left there without protection and without a leader, Uncle He Qi didn't say anything.
It is impossible for Ye Lu not to know this.
These are his relatives.
When his blood relatives, who truly cared about him, encountered danger, their first reaction was to let him go first. For some reason, Ye Lu's mind suddenly flashed with many memories about his maternal uncle's house, including when his seventh uncle He held him cheerfully when he was a child, and his fourth uncle He had a serious face, and when he found that he seemed a little scared, his jaw was tense, and he was at a loss but forced a gentle smile.
Uncle He Si was also holding him and coaxing him.
In the evening, Uncle He San walked slowly to his room, looked at him in a daze, took out a piece of brown sugar from his arms and handed it to him.
Do you really want to see them die?
As soon as this possibility came up, Ye Lu rejected it without hesitation.
The ghost scholar paused, and suddenly he realized something. He looked at Ye Lu who was standing beside him. The young man in Taoist robe had a blank expression on his face. However, people who were familiar with him could see through his determination at a glance.
The ghost scholar was silent. What? He said nothing.
"Seventh Uncle, what if I say that I can stop these snake monsters?" Ye Lu's perception is different from that of ordinary people. He also did not hear the stone mage outside's introduction of the blind snakes. In his opinion, these are just snake monsters with some origins. He looked straight at Uncle He Seventh.
Uncle He Qi was shocked, and his first reaction was that it was not possible. "Wait, Lu Wazi, your talent—"
"No, no, my talent is fine, but I will fall asleep for a long time after using this move." Ye Lu said calmly. This is his talent. He has been hesitating because this world is too unsafe. He has not let go. Now, he can use this move for the people of He Village, just for those memories.
Ye Lu had some guesses about those memories. Why did the ghost scholar and the playful man not have them, but he had them?
Uncle He Qi didn't have time to speak.
The outer layer of the bronze mirror barrier was on the verge of breaking and was crumbling. The originally light blue barrier was almost colorless. It was extremely tense.
"Rip—" a sound like silk being torn echoed in everyone's ears.
Helan, the leader, was the first to notice something was wrong. She immediately clasped her hands to the ground, and layers of stones gathered around her. She shouted loudly: "Quick, let Bronze Mirror Lady take the children away!"
Seeing that the annoying barrier was finally broken, revealing the fresh blood food inside, they could even take the blood food to meet their mother goddess. When the snakes thought of such a scene, their smiles became more hideous and terrifying.
The wind disaster sank and the drought continued.
The pitch-black whirlwind condensed into a sharp blade again, majestic and powerful. The people below looked up at the sky, and the whole sky was covered with dark clouds. The next second, the broad and boundless blade was successfully condensed, raised up, and slashed towards the people below.
Qian Bacun's face was pale, but his hands were swift and firm, and he pressed the blood toward the bronze mirror.
The stone walls blocking the crowd were like pieces of dry and cracked soil, fragmented, covered with dust and vulnerable to any attack.
The guards stood at the front.
At the critical moment.
"... Ding-ling-ling..." A low bell rang, very low, but everyone present could hear it.
The next second, a similarly pale light with a hint of blood rushed towards the dark whirlwind from the central carriage like a sharp blade.
The light seems slow, but it is actually very fast.
Looking at the crowd, I only felt a faint chill in the entire group. What else? Nothing.
However, the pale light seemed to have encountered its prey. It ignored the powerful force of the wind whirl and rushed straight towards it, starting to devour and blend with it. As soon as the two came into contact, an unpleasant dissolving sound was emitted.
In the blink of an eye, half of the entire pitch-black whirlwind was swallowed up, and it seemed to have consciousness and wanted to escape, running around left and right.
"Jie!" The snake monster finally realized that the pitch-black whirlwind in his hand was out of his control. However, when he wanted to increase his strength to swallow up the pitch-black whirlwind, the pale light had already swallowed up all of the pitch-black whirlwind at a speed visible to the naked eye. He burped, and flew back to the camp of the refugee team.
Everyone couldn't help but follow this powerful light until they saw a slender figure in a green Taoist robe holding a pale lamp.
Slender, tall, and dignified, it looks like a clump of green bamboo on a cliff, with dark roots and cold snow.
The pale light rushed into the bone lamp like a young bird returning to its nest, and Ye Lu held the bone lamp and felt it carefully. The strange power that was originally empty in the bone lamp was filled up in an instant.
"Lu Wazi!" Helan recognized the person at the first moment and was shocked. What surprised her was that Lu Wazi's cultivation had reached the Huangli level recently, but he had not even reached the Baiyou level not long ago. Even at such a long distance, she could clearly sense the surging strange power emanating from his body.
Helan managed to stand up straight from the ground. Her hands were bent beyond recognition, with dust and blood mixed together on her fingertips. Her entire body was weakened to a certain extent.
Ye Lu looked at Helan who had a worried look on his face, and suddenly realized that the people of He Village were really prepared to fight to the death. The entire village stayed behind to cover the rear, just to send the child away. Rather than being protectors, they were more like sacrifices.
Everyone was very calm along the way. Although no one knew why Lu Wazi suddenly became so strong, their trust in their fellow tribesmen made everyone quietly move aside.
"Aunt Lan!" When Ye Lu came near Helan, he nodded at Helan and greeted her calmly.
"..." Helan looked at Ye Lu, whose aura was completely different from before, and had many questions to ask. She wanted to ask her nephew why his cultivation suddenly became Huang Li level, and whether it would overdraw his talent. However, when she thought that everyone in their village was about to die, she couldn't bring herself to blame the child.
After all, these elders are useless.
The countless words I wanted to say turned into silent sighs. Forget it.
