After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1278 Attacking the Gate
He had no doubt that once he found an opportunity, the demon would return to the human world. If he were the demon, he would definitely do the same.

Only by coming to the world can we continue to pursue individual self-strengthening.

Dong Rui bared his teeth: "How should I know? Didn't you forbid me to study it?"

"I believe your inference."

As soon as these words came out, Dong Rui lost his temper: "Well, the most convenient way is to occupy the immortal's skin, but this task itself is too difficult. It's like a mouse hanging a bell on a cat."

There is a local story: The cat walks silently, and the mice are always killed. So the mice unanimously decided to put a bell on the cat, and the bell would ring wherever the cat walked, and the mice would run away.

Then the question arises, who will bell the cat?

The problem faced by the demons is the same. Not to mention that there are very few immortals in the world, even if there are, how many can they take away?

Not to mention, there are adaptation issues.

"The body of a cultivator is too fragile to fully bear the power of the demon." Dong Rui had thought about this problem a long time ago and had a clear mind. "So the key to the problem is, does the demon have to be human in skin?"

As soon as these words came out, the room became quiet.

He Lingchuan thought of the landfill of Zuo Yu. No matter how the immortal tried to destroy the clues, he didn't have time to burn the landfill. There were all kinds of strange remains piled up there. He Lingchuan didn't know whether they were born that way or were transformed.

Was it transformed by Qu Yu?
why?
He Lingchuan thought of Dong Rui's demon puppet again. Is it similar to the other one?
shudder.

Both of them were speechless for a long while.

Finally, it was Dong Rui who broke the silence: "Hey, are you calling me for something?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan collected his thoughts and picked up a piece of intelligence to show him, "The affairs here are basically dealt with. I want to go to Bayuan Township."

"A new mission has come to Lingshan?" Dong Rui read out the words on the note. "Puyin Temple is in Bayuan Township, which is right behind Shizhoutou City. Is it very popular?"

"It's not Lingshan's mission. Lingshan won't pay attention to such a small place. I want to go there on my own." He Lingchuan said, "I have some new ideas."

"Pu Yin Temple? Is this a temple?" Dong Rui frowned, "Pu Yin... I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

"Puin is just a minor god, not very famous in other places." He Lingchuan stretched, "If we want to go to Bayuan Township, we have to pick a sunny day."

The Golden Plains.

Fifty miles south of Jucheng is Shizhoutou.

The city gates were closed and torches were burning everywhere, both inside and outside the city.

Outside the city, there was a huge army, and someone below shouted at the top of the city gate:

"The city lord has returned! Xu Youguang, open the door quickly!"

After shouting several times, no one responded from the other side, but the soldiers on the city gate pointed their bows and arrows downwards with unfriendly eyes.

"Who is in charge of the city gate? Are they all dead?" The people below were impatient, "Send someone who can talk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone on the city gate tower spoke:
"Xu Youguang is dead, so he can't open the door for Liu Chengshou."

The firelight illuminated the man's face, revealing a new black and red scar from the corner of his eye to the wing of his nose.

"When the Zhao army attacked, he tried to sneak open the city gate to surrender, so I chopped off his head with my own hands."

The soldiers below were startled by the words. Liu Chengshou rode out from the crowd and said, "Well done, Yang Shoubei! From now on, you will be the deputy general, leading the city defense army. Now, open the city gates."

"Before the Zhao army attacked, didn't Liu Chengshou just run away?" Yang Shoubei was unmoved. "Before he fled, he looted all the people in the city. Even the bandits felt inferior to him. Now that we have driven away the Zhao army and defended the city, Liu Chengshou wants to come back and be an official again?"

Liu Chengshou was displeased: "I went to get reinforcements myself, and asked you to stay and defend the city! It is your duty to defend Shizhoutou, how dare you make up rumors and accuse me of abandoning the people!"

Suddenly, a soldier on the city gate shouted, "Two days before the Zhao army attacked, you allowed your men to plunder. My two sisters' homes were looted and their people were beaten to a bloody pulp!"

Someone took the lead and a group of people on top of the city gate started to curse, and the sound could be heard within two miles.

"The city defender stole the city, he has no shame at all!"

"You scum, you still want to enter the city? I'm going to shoot you to the ground first!"

Other curse words are even more unbearable to hear.

I don't know who was so excited, but the arrow was on the string, and he shot out towards Liu Chengshou.

The arrow was quite accurate and hit him right in the chest.

Liu Chengshou was wearing a self-defense weapon, and a green light flashed on his body, so the arrow didn't kill him. But he was also shocked, so he turned his horse and rushed into the army, pointing at the city gate:
"Shoot them down, shoot them all down!"

The soldiers under the city also raised their arrows and shot upwards.

Arrows rained down from both sides and the battle broke out suddenly.

But the defenders took advantage of their high ground. Liu Chengshou did not expect that his own city defense troops would really dare to attack him. His men were too close to the city gate and suffered much greater casualties from arrows than the city defense troops.

Liu Chengshou's army had to retreat fifty feet.

At the same time, Yang Shoubei also signaled to the city defense troops: "Stop shooting, there are not many arrows, use them sparingly!"

After defeating the Zhao army, they were seriously short of supplies, and before they could get resupply, Liu Chengshou returned.

I never expected that the most difficult hurdle would be “our own people”.

Guard Yang sighed secretly.

“Yang Meng!” Liu Chengshou retreated fifty feet away before speaking again, “Open the city walls and surrender immediately. I will forgive you for what happened, and the conditions I just offered will still stand!”

This idiot! Yang Shoubei was so angry that he laughed. Shouldn't such conditions be discussed privately? Which general dared to agree to it in front of his soldiers?
This kind of person is actually the city guard of Shizuotou! Even if he agrees, the people cannot agree.

Yang Meng grabbed a bow and arrow and shot two arrows at Liu Chengshou.

This was his answer.

……

White clouds float in the blue sky, and the fields are filled with birdsong and flowers in early spring.

Dong Rui has been busy doing experiments recently. Occasionally he comes out to get some fresh air and go for a walk, which makes him feel relaxed and happy.

When they got here, there was finally no one on the road, so he said to He Lingchuan: "I finally remembered that Shao Jian's book had a record of a god named Pu Yin!"

He Lingchuan gave him a light mockery: "You have a really good memory."

"I rarely pay too much attention to things outside of my body." Why would he bother to remember such a trivial matter? Precious brain power should be used in the right place. Dong Rui coughed lightly, "What are you looking for Pu Yin Shen for?"

"Build connections and get information." He Lingchuan said, "Just like we found Shi Nan before."

Not all gods are arrogant. Those lower-level gods are willing to humble themselves and build some relationships with humans as long as they think you are useful and you can find resources for them.

There are too few temples on Platinum Island, and He Lingchuan needs to expand his sources of information.
