Night Raid
Chapter 445 Night Attack
At the end of the Kaihuang period, the celestial phenomena changed drastically. The gods of the Kaihuang period created the sun boat and the moon boat to dispel the darkness, allowing all things to grow and allowing the common people to survive.
However, these two types of ships are also powerful weapons in battle. The Sun Guard of the Sun Ship and the Moon Guard of the Moon Ship can mobilize the power of the magnificent ships, allowing their power to reach the level of gods and change the world with their great power.
Qin Mu had used the Sun Boat and borrowed the Moon Boat before, and he knew very well the power and extraordinary qualities of these two ships.
He borrowed the power of the Jiao King God and the group of Jiaos with the Dragon Taming Art from the Dragon Taming Sutra, and was able to open the Divine Bridge and Divine Treasures, allowing his soul to reach the Heavenly Palace, but he could only enter the South Heavenly Gate and had no chance to enter the depths of the Heavenly Palace. By borrowing the power of the Sun Boat and the Moon Boat, he could reach Yaotai directly and stand next to Yaochi!
However, the Sun Boat and the Moon Boat also have their nemesis, and the Ten Thousand Gods Natural Power of the Zhentian Palace is their nemesis.
The power that the Sun Boat lends to the Sun Guardian and the Moon Boat lends to the Moon Guardian come from the two boats themselves, not from the Sun Guardian and the Moon Guardian themselves. The two boats have tremendous and terrifying energy, and with the God-made Sun and God-made Moon as their source of power, they can dispel darkness.
The All-God Natural Power advocates the concept that all things have gods and spirits. It creates primordial spirits through the perception of nature, awakens all things in heaven and earth, and makes all things in heaven and earth come alive to fight for them.
What if there is a god who practices the natural power of all gods and can awaken the spirits of the sun boat and the moon boat and make them fight for him?
Then what awaits the Sun Guard, the Moon Guard, and the Sun Shepherd and Moon Shepherd on the boat can only be bloody massacre and death. Even the Sun Guard and the Moon Guard will not be able to escape!
"Many years ago, there must have been a terrible battle here. The Sun Boat and the Moon Boat encountered gods who practiced the Ten Thousand Gods Natural Art and were destroyed one by one. And this..."
Qin Mu looked towards the west, his eyes dim like a candle in the wind: "It must have a great relationship with the True Heaven Palace in the West."
He had always taken it for granted that the Xitu Zhentian Palace should be a holy place like the Great Leiyin Temple and the Taoist Sect. Although the Palace Master was extremely skilled in Taoism and was extremely skilled, he was also a strong man trapped in the Divine Bridge Realm. This holy place would be no different from other holy places.
But now it seems that the Zhentian Palace in the West is hiding many secrets, and even a terrifying existence!
Not only that, the name of Zhentian Palace alone is worth pondering.
The Tiansheng Sect was called the Tiansheng Sect because woodcutters were the ones who preached the scriptures and respected them as saints. The Great Leiyin Temple got its name because Mount Sumeru is so high and is located in the thunder layer, and the thunder sounds and Buddhist sounds together are so loud and deafening.
Taoism is named after the Taoist sword and the gateway to Kunlun Mountain. Xiaoyujing itself is a fragment of Yujing from the Kaihuang era. The names of the holy places more or less reveal their origins.
So what is the origin of Zhentian Palace?
Why did the gods of the Zhentian Palace destroy the Sun Boat and the Moon Boat?
The ruins of temples in the desert and the strange sand dune giants should be the work of the gods of the True Heavenly Palace. As for the strange fire covering the desert, the abandoned people of Daxu will have flame marks on their bodies when they enter the desert and will be burned to death by the strange fire. Is this also related to the True Heavenly Palace?
Why do the marks of fire appear when the abandoned people of Daxu set foot on this place? Why do only the abandoned people of Daxu get burned to death by the strange fire, while others are safe and sound when they touch the fire?
How many secrets are hidden in the West?
The flames in the desert were blazing, and it was too hot for him. Suddenly, a relic appeared in front of him. Before Long Qilin got close, he saw whistling sand gathering in the ruins. A dune giant slowly took shape, and then another dune giant took shape, with whirling sand flying under their feet.
Long Qilin was about to go around, but Qin Mu shook his head and said, "No, keep going."
Long Qilin had no choice but to run towards the murderous dune giant. Layers of array patterns were spinning in Qin Mu's eyes as he observed the ruins from afar.
Sand dune giants rushed towards them from the ruins, getting closer and closer to them. Suddenly, a sword rang out, and the Worry-Free Sword flew out, creating whirlwinds and rolling up the sand and dust across the desert!
When the giant sand dunes were still hundreds of feet in front of Long Qilin, they suddenly collapsed, and rolling sand and dust came. Long Qilin roared quickly, shaking the collapsed sand dunes apart.
Qin Mu took back the Wuyou Sword, and Long Qilin carried him into the ruins, where he saw a shrine covered with shattered fragments of a statue.
Long Qilin walked away.
"We should be able to enter the Western Land at noon tomorrow."
On a dilapidated sun boat, Qin Mu lit a bonfire and let Long Qilin and Xiong Qier rest. He could hold on, but Long Qilin needed to rest after running so far, and Xiong Qier was too young to withstand the long journey.
The boy looked to the west, his eyes passing through the desert covered with strange fires. In the firelight, a figure emerged in the distance, distorted by the fire.
Qin Mu smiled and waved his hand, and the figure was frightened and fled away in a hurry.
"Your Excellency is becoming more and more timid." Qin Mu shook his head and laughed.
Pangong Tso was far away from the dilapidated sun boat, his face was gloomy. His broken arm had been reattached and his injuries were basically healed, but he still had not found an opportunity to sneak attack Qin Mu.
It's not that he hadn't thought about a direct sneak attack, and he had also thought about a head-on confrontation with Qin Mu, but when he thought about the slim chances of winning, he had to give up the idea.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the sand around him moving silently. He was moved and hurriedly looked in the light of the fire.
The desert at night was not completely dark, the firelight illuminated the desert, but you couldn't see too far. Pangong Tso saw a strange figure walking in the firelight, like a puppet, with twisted joints, walking in a strange posture.
The quicksand in the desert flowed along with the footsteps of the puppet. The strange thing was that the flowing sand did not make any sound.
Pangong Tso's heart skipped a beat. He saw another puppet-like figure, then the third, the fourth...
As the puppets came closer, he realized that these strange figures were actually wooden statues of gods. The eyes of the statues were real eyes, not made of wood. They were approaching the sun boat silently.
Pangong Tso's heart was pounding. One of the wooden statues suddenly turned towards him, smiled strangely, and put a wooden finger to its mouth as a gesture of silence.
Pangong Tso blinked and did not move, watching the statues come under the sun boat.
The quicksand surged, carrying the wooden statues and lifting them up, and the sand dunes became higher and higher.
Pangong Tso's heart couldn't help but get nervous, and he clenched his fists in excitement. The solar boat was blocked by huge dune giants. These dune giants raised their huge fists high, ready to hammer down Qin Mu on the solar boat!
"Qin boy is going to be finished!" Pangong Tso was almost shouting with excitement.
At this moment, a silver sword light with a sharp whistling sound instantly pierced through the head of a wooden statue. The statue's head exploded with a snap, followed by a second crisp sound, and then the third, and the fourth, and the sounds formed a line.
After a few snapping sounds, the raised arms of the sand dune giants froze in the air, and then the quicksand slowly collapsed and slid down, burying most of the sun boat.
"Want to fight with me?" A chuckle came from the boat.
Pangongcuo no longer hesitated, turned around and left: "It is almost impossible to plot against this kid! But why would he, an abandoned person, go to the Western Land? Isn't he looking for death? I do recognize the owner of these wooden statues. I have met her once, but it is not easy to see her. Haha, Qin's child, if I want to kill you, why do I have to do it myself?"
He smiled: "Besides, even if I can't borrow that person's power, I have several old acquaintances in the West. It won't be too easy to kill you! You little brat has repeatedly defied me. After you die, I will use your corpse to spell out a big word '服'!"
At noon the next day, Long Qilin finally walked out of the desert, and the flame patterns on Qin Mu's body gradually faded and disappeared.
They came to a small border town in the west. Men and women with turbans were walking on the street. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and gold and silver jewelry. Women of higher status would wear silver crowns carved into the images of phoenixes, vermilion birds, etc., and their clothes were also bright red or black, which was very eye-catching and beautiful.
There are a lot of beautiful girls here, but the men look a bit plain.
As soon as she arrived in this small town, Xiong Qier started clamoring for sour fish soup, chili bones, rice noodles, and worm tea. She had been away from her hometown for more than half a year, and finally she could eat the delicacies of her hometown. She couldn't help cheering and wanted to try every kind.
The Western Land used gold and silver to pay the bill, and Qin Mu had some on him, so she ate and drank to her heart's content.
Qin Mu also ate some. The food in the Western Land was spicy and sour, which was unique. However, he was a little afraid to try the insect tea in the Western Land. Insect tea was made from the feces of insects eating tea leaves. Although it had a strange fragrance, he was still a little scared.
"Pharmacist Grandpa likes to drink tea, so bring some over for him to try." Qin Mu thought.
He looked around. The architecture in the west was very different from that in Yankang, and the customs and habits were different. The most peculiar thing was the houses here. The houses were circular buildings made of wood. Many of the houses had plaques with statues of gods hanging on them.
After some inquiry, Qin Mu came to know that these statues were used to prevent people from summoning spirits with magic.
Because the magic in the West is also based on the principle that all things have spirits and gods. If a person with supernatural powers casts a spell and the house suddenly stands up and runs away, wouldn't the whole family be left starving?
As long as there is a statue of god in the house, it will not be called away by the supernatural being.
Qin Mu blinked his eyes. A large group of houses stood up and started fighting each other. This scene was really unique.
But can the statue really guarantee that the house will not be taken away by someone with supernatural powers?
An old man told him, "There are also many temples on the mountains to suppress the mountain spirits. There are also altars in every river to prevent them from being taken away by those with supernatural powers. But these mountains and rivers all have owners."
Qin Mu looked around and marveled at the rolling mountains. He originally thought that the mountains in the West had been razed to the ground by the masters with magical powers, but the West was still beautiful with clear waters and pleasant scenery.
"Why do all the mountains and rivers here belong to someone?"
Qin Mu asked: "Who are their owners?"
"Of course it's the female master of the True Heaven Palace, as well as some local supernatural powers, other sects and so on."
The old man said: "Not only the mountains and rivers have owners, but even the flowers, plants and trees have owners. They cannot be moved easily. Otherwise, you won't be able to pay for them even if you sell them!"
As he was speaking, the ground shook slightly. The people around him panicked and hurriedly dodged. Qin Mu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tree-man transformed from a towering tree walking towards him. A woman stood on the tree, holding a scroll. She suddenly unfolded it and said loudly, "Today, a fugitive from Daxu has fled to the West. The True Heaven Palace has issued an order to arrest this beast! Come on, hang up the portrait!"
