Ziwei Xingyao

Chapter 152 Ming Zhao
The leader was a familiar face of Li Wei, a centurion under Captain Wang's command. After seeing Li Wei, he hurried over and said that Captain Wang had something important to ask him, but he didn't know what it was.

Fortunately, the affairs here are almost handled. In addition to bringing a few corpses of ghouls as evidence, Li Wei asked Xiao Lingguang to set a fire and burn the rest of the corpses, regardless of whether they were humans, monsters or ghouls. , all burned to the ground.

As soon as he returned to Niujia Village, Li Wei found something different outside. The number of soldiers in charge of defense here was at least [-]% higher. Wei immediately sent more people.

Sure enough, when he saw Captain Wang, the other party said it was a very unfortunate news: "My lord, the ghost king of Daqingshan plundered, and the villagers were powerless to resist. In three days, seven villages were robbed. Preliminary estimates , more than 2000 people died.”

Li Wei was also shocked at the moment: "2000 people? Doesn't that mean that most of the villages are empty?"

In Changqing, where all kinds of conditions are very harsh and monsters attack from time to time, the population of each village is very small, and there is no distinction between men and women, and there are very few people who can live to the age of 50.

Taking Zhangjia Village as an example, excluding the large number of refugees recruited by Li Wei after his succession, there were originally only about a hundred households there, and the total population was about 600.

Just like this, it can already be regarded as a big village on the island, because other ordinary small villages only have forty or fifty households with three to four hundred people.

There are also small ones, but the number is very small. Because of the small number of men, there are naturally few males who can be the main combat force. It is easy to cause rapid decline due to the attack of monsters or other reasons. Usually there will be no What kind of fool would dare to build a village with hundreds of people.

But now Xiaowei Wang said that more than 2000 people were killed or injured in the seven villages, which means that the people in these seven villages are almost dead. This is a massacre!

"Yes, that's exactly it." Captain Wang nodded with heavy eyes.

Although General Yingyan received the order at the beginning only to exterminate the ghost king of Daqingshan, and did not say that he should protect the villagers by the way, but if the entire Changqingdao villagers are killed by the other party during this process, then they will be considered as the last one. Completed the task and killed the ghost king, that doesn't make much sense, but it will make General Yingyan lose face in the court.

Zhan Hu next to him was silent, but from his clenched fists, Li Wei could also see that he also hated this kind of behavior.

"And according to the survivors, the ghost king also took all the corpses with him when he left. I'm afraid it was used as food for the monsters who followed him."

This topic is even more serious. The Cathay Empire has always paid attention to the burial of the dead, and cremation again, but this time the dead may not be able to enjoy these two treatments.

Since the day when monsters appeared, until now, they have been keen on cannibalism to satisfy their hunger, because according to the monsters who have been captured, human flesh is the most delicate, and it contains blood and spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to monsters.

The same goes for ghosts.

Although they can make a living by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth like Qiu Yan did at the beginning, it doesn't matter if they eat meat occasionally, and it will be more beneficial to them.

Li Wei couldn't help being silent for a while, more than 2000 lives were lost, and they were the lives of innocent civilians. Captain Wang's few words were full of bloody breath between the lines.

Coupled with the casualties in recent battles, as well as the three thousand troops led by Ye Qing who died in an ambush last time, the number of people who died directly or indirectly due to the Daqingshan Ghost King began to increase.

And even though Xiaowei Wang believed that the ghost king took away the corpse as food, Li Wei had to suspect that it might be used for other purposes.

Today Bulaotong has shown a way to wake up ghouls, and no one is really sure whether the ghost king who has been in contact with Boldboy the longest has learned some other spells together?

Captain Wang suddenly asked, "My lord, where are Feng Ming and Qing Fengzi?"

No wonder he always felt that something was missing at the moment. What was going on with One Buddha and One Buddha, who disappeared whenever he encountered an important problem?So he was a little angry, so he simply didn't even call him Master this time.

Li Wei couldn't help sighing softly: "They have some reasons, because they were ambushed by Bulaotong and the Mandrill King, but fortunately, after our desperate struggle, we finally killed these two evil kings." The only good news today.

Xiaowei Wang immediately lifted his spirits: "Bu Laotong, a scheming monster, was killed?"

"It must have been done by you, my lord, right?" Although it was a question, Zhan Hu's tone was full of affirmation.

"It's all up to the subordinates to die, and the soldiers to die." Li Wei didn't say much, because he was still thinking about what to do to avoid the eighth village being slaughtered.

But for a while, he had no idea, because even if he built Ziwei temples in all the villages and sent a hundred soldiers to each village, it was absolutely impossible to really withstand the attack of the demon king. The dispersion of troops made the defense of Niujia Village greatly weakened.

If the opponent were to take advantage of the situation and break through here, it would mean that the entire Changqing Island would be completely lost.

Because the population of the county behind is only a few thousand, and there are only a few hundred old and weak soldiers left to fight, and some disabled people from previous battles also have no resistance against the demon king.

Lieutenant Wang immediately slapped the table and stood up: "This is really a great thing, I will report to the general immediately, and I will ask for credit for you, and when the general leads an army to come to make peace, we will completely wipe out the evil spirits on the island! "

Sure enough, the General was right, Master Li and his subordinates are truly trustworthy, as for the Jinling Temple and the Blue Wind Sect, they are just empty names, they know how to make money!

At this time, Li Wei's eyes suddenly brightened: "You mean reconciliation? Yes, although we can't divide the troops, we can make the villages reconcile. No, wait, how long is it until the autumn harvest?"

Levi suddenly thought of this important issue. Even if he could use part of the military rations as compensation, the villagers might not be willing to give up their farmland, so his plan would be completely empty talk.

Captain Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly figured out what Li Wei meant, but he could only shake his head helplessly: "My lord, there is still about half a month left. Even if you give the order, I'm afraid they won't know how to do it now." Choose to leave.”

"And there are dozens of villages on the island, adding up to more than [-] people. Niujia Village and the county cannot accommodate so many people."

"What's more, we don't have much food. If the military food is given to them, General Ying Yan will blame it..."

He knew that Daoist Ziwei must have been a little confused for a while because he cared too much about those villagers. Otherwise, with the ingenuity shown by the other party before, he would never have missed these problems.

Even if they are threatened by monsters, their lives are always threatened, but for farmers, the food in the field is also their life. Unless the monsters kill them, none of the villagers will choose to leave at this critical moment.

Moreover, what is stored here in Niujia Village is all military rations, which are for the soldiers. If they are distributed to those villagers casually, even if he is a confidant of General Yingyan, Daoist Ziwei is deeply trusted, but he also has to worry about it. It has a lot to do with it.

Li Wei gritted his teeth, and finally decided to insist on this idea: "But at least we can give them a choice. And our food is enough to last for more than a month. When the autumn harvest comes, we don't have to worry too much. What's more, "

Li Wei's voice changed: "Although it is called the ghost king, it is actually just a ghost. Its biggest assistant, the old boy, has also been beheaded. Don't you have the confidence to solve it within a month?"

"Think about it, how many demon kings we have killed, is this one missing?"

Hearing what Li Wei said, both of them immediately felt a little emotional, especially Wang Xiaowei, because he knew Li Wei earlier than Zhan Hu, so he knew the other party's series of brilliant achievements.

The Mad Ape King, Fire Spirit Monkey King, Bulao Tong, and Mandrill King, except for the wolf demon Ling Xuzi who quickly slipped away because of a bad opportunity that day, and then disappeared without a trace, they have already killed four demon kings, even There is also a demon who is no less powerful than the demon king.

And he also heard that before that, when the other party was still in Zhangjiacun, he had beheaded a demon king. In this way, at least six demon kings had been killed, and the strength and potential of the other party were beyond doubt. There is definitely great hope for dealing with the ghost king!

Zhan Hu stood up first. He slapped his chest fiercely and made a series of dull loud noises: "Zhan Hu is willing to obey your command and kill the Ghost King of Daqingshan!"

Lieutenant Wang couldn't help but sigh. He knew the other party's details very well, so he was not surprised at all that the other party made such a choice, but this made him in a dilemma.

Sighing deeply again, Captain Wang also cupped his hands: "Wang Ba is also willing to obey the orders of the adults and release the military rations, but I can't guarantee how many villagers are willing to abandon their fields to come here. If the general blames me later, I hope your lord will say a few good words for me."

Li Wei immediately understood what he meant, and he couldn't help but shook his head again and again: "Lieutenant Wang is too small for me, how can I let you bear this matter?"

His request was a little too much, and if he asked the other party to bear all the responsibilities for him, then he would be too much.

Lieutenant Wang smiled and didn't say anything more: "Then I'll send people to the villages to deliver messages right away, and besides, it's fine for the adults to call me Wang Ba."

Li Wei felt the other party's kindness, but of course he couldn't just call him by his first name. Ordinary villagers may not pay attention to this, but the other party is a school lieutenant who has followed the prince Yingyan for many years, and it is likely that he started from Weijing, the imperial capital. Followed, more or less still need to pay attention to etiquette.

He immediately cupped his hands and saluted, "Then there will be Brother Lao. If some villages really don't want to come, then I will show some blueprints for them to build the Ziwei Temple. It can be regarded as a token of my heart."

General Ying Yan had previously promised that Li Wei would be free to build temples in all villages on Changqing Island. However, each drawing required a certain amount of his faith. Recently, he was under pressure from demons such as the Immortal Boy. , he did not personally go to each village to implement this matter, but now it can be carried out smoothly.

Of course, he will definitely have a choice. If it is a village that is extremely weak and unable to protect itself, he will not easily give the other party blueprints. Otherwise, if he gives it today, the other party will be wiped out by monsters tomorrow. Then wouldn't all his investment be in vain?

It's best to let them come to Niujia Village to take refuge for a while, and it won't be too late to build Ziwei Temple after the ghost king is completely eradicated.

"Your Excellency, Gao Yi." Wang Xiaowei immediately cupped his fists, even for them, such things as architectural drawings are really rare.

Then he changed his voice: "Also, if it's convenient, Sir, you can go to the county to build a temple first. The population there is more than that of Niujia Village. It must be of great help to the promotion of your family."

Like others, he also believes that the reason why Li Wei built the temple without any offerings is to maximize the promotion. After all, it is the first time that Tianting and Beiji Ziwei have appeared in the ears of everyone. If there is no attractive It is not so easy to compete with other sects for faith.

Li Wei was a little moved. In fact, he hadn't thought about it, but he finally gave up the idea temporarily.

Because now his high priest is condemned by God, only she knows how to spread faith and develop believers, but limited by the monks of Jinling Temple, he can't bring her out at all, for fear of revealing some flaws, which will lead to a relationship with Jinling. Temple of Total War.

Even her little apprentices were the same. Even if the monks in Jinling Temple didn't remember their faces, their various powers and even their behavior were in the same line as Ying Tianzhu, and they were easy to see through.

But now, the situation is slightly different, because he has two more subordinates, You Bixing and Shenshuiyuan Yeqing.

Needless to say, You Bixing, Li Wei knew that he must be a smart person when he saw him for the first time, and he did live up to Li Wei's expectations in the next few battles. A natural helper.

And Ye Qing was originally the county magistrate there, although he led 3000 people to death when he took office, and he himself was killed by demons not long after, but he is not a complete waste, he has great influence on all aspects of the county. There is still a considerable degree of understanding of the situation. If the two cooperate with each other, it must be able to achieve a certain effect.

Thinking of this, he nodded immediately: "Okay, I will arrange it now, but the ghost king is so powerful now, I can't go there in person, I can only send my subordinates to go, I hope the people in the county will accept Beiji Ziwei Belief."

Lieutenant Wang burst into laughter immediately: "My lord, there is no need to worry. The hundreds of soldiers stationed by the county magistrate are my brothers. As long as I say hello, they will cooperate well."

Li Wei suddenly burst out laughing. Indeed, if this is the case, even if he doesn't go there in person, the effect there will not be bad. In the final analysis, it is because of the raging monsters.

Ordinary civilians can't rely on the likes of Buddhism and Taoism. Their biggest reliance is the army of the empire. Once Captain Wang speaks, they will naturally follow him.

However, he still reminded: "Then I'll trouble Brother Wang. However, my sect's faith emphasizes voluntariness, piety, and does not accept offerings. I hope Brother Wang will inform you and don't let the brothers below misunderstand what I mean. We never need forced beliefs."

If coercive means are used, even if some civilians are forced to have no choice, so they pretend to believe in Arctic Ziwei on the surface, but in fact they can't provide any power of faith, and they may feel resentful because of being coerced. Such believers , Li Wei didn't want half of them.

Seeing Li Wei's serious words, Captain Wang's face straightened immediately: "Yes, I understand, I will definitely make it clear to my brothers."

If this is really what the other party wants, then he will naturally do what the other party wants. What he wants is to give the other party face and make the relationship between them further, but he does not want to backfire.

After returning to his residence, Levi took off the kit from his waist and began to take stock of the immortal boy's inheritance. This was his material gain from this battle.

First, there are some finger-sized stones that emit a faint green light.

Without touching it at all, Levi felt a faint tingling and burning sensation on his skin. That was his body warning him not to get close to these things, because they were evil spirit stones!

At first, Li Wei discovered this kind of thing on the monks who were chasing Ying Tianshu, then Qiu Yan, the ghost king of Da Qingshan gave Qiu Yan the ghost guards, and then the Black Fish King and the Immortal Boy.

Except that those monks probably didn't understand the purpose of the evil spirit stone at the beginning, every time the evil spirit stone appeared, it failed to bring any good results.

Although this kind of stone contains extremely rich energy, it is also necessary to pay a great price for using them, because the old boy uses the demon pills as the main material and uses them as auxiliary materials to create new scorpions, Lian Qiu Yan Yan was almost killed by the evil spirit stone pit.

In addition, there are some materials for alchemy. Leaving aside some human hearts and brains that Li Wei can't use at all, and some filthy things such as heavenly sunflowers, there are many medicinal materials in them.

Although Li Wei was not familiar with this, the system introduction was clear. At least they were mid- to high-level herbs, which were very rare. He planned to keep them for now and then hand them over to Ying Tianshu when he returned.

In addition to swordsmanship and lightning techniques, she also knows how to make alchemy. The pill recipe for the detoxification pill that she got after beheading King Huiphos last time was handed over to her, but there was no suitable pill furnace in the village at that time. There is no material for alchemy, so she has never started work.

But now Li Wei feels that these are not problems anymore. With the current relationship between him and Qing Fengzi, let alone buy a pill furnace, the other party may give it to him directly after hearing about it.

Their Blue Wind Sect also knows how to make alchemy, and they gave Li Wei that special Blue Wind Pill before, and it also played some role when Dijiexing and Qiuyan dealt with the Shandrill King.

In the end, it was a silver sword with excellent workmanship, more like an ornament than a weapon, but after seeing all its attributes clearly, Li Wei knew that this was just an illusion.

It is not a decoration, but a powerful practical weapon, but the old boy will definitely not be able to exert any effect on it, so it has tampered with it.

Ming Zhao (purple-magic weapon) (has been defiled):
Attack power 15-30 (attack power is halved due to being defiled).

Attached passive skill - Sharp: When the attack hits the enemy, if the target's defense is lower than 10, its defense will be ignored, if the target's defense is higher than 10, then 10 points of defense will be ignored (the effect will be halved due to contamination).

Attached passive skill - light body: increase attack and movement speed by 10%, agility +3 (temporarily invalid due to contamination).

With active skill-Ming Zhao: Consume 200 mana points and try to see through the enemy's real body. If it is a demon or ghost, it is very likely to be seen through the real body, and there is a small chance of knowing the opponent's good direction or a certain direction. a weakness.

If you see through its real body, in the next 100 seconds, if all your physical attacks take effect on it, an additional 20 points of damage will be added (temporarily invalid due to contamination).

Requirements for use: strength 20, agility 20, intelligence 20, level 10.

Race restrictions: Demons and demons cannot use this sword.

Note: This magic weapon is a magic weapon of the righteous way, but it has been polluted by the evil spirits of demons, and most of its effects have been invalidated or weakened. If you want to restore its former glory, you can only kill demons and eliminate demons.

(The bright moon is shining, reflecting my heart, but for your sake, I swear to kill evil spirits)

Although it is very demanding to use, its various effects are undoubtedly worthy of its requirements, especially the last skill, which makes Li Wei a little eager.

If you meet some demon king in the future, you will throw a Mingzhao skill as soon as you meet, so as to gain a certain weakness of the opponent, and if you are targeting them, then as long as the difference in strength between the two is not too big, the battle will definitely be much smoother .

It's a pity that it has been defiled now, and most of its skills are ineffective or weakened. What's even more pity is that among all the people, only Li Wei himself has the qualifications to use it. . .

The young and handsome face reflected on the long sword was silent for a while, but in the end he could only sigh slightly helplessly.

I'm afraid I won't be able to continue doing this for a long time, because it doesn't say how many demons need to be killed to get rid of the filth, which means that the number is definitely not too low.

Really, I wanted to continue to hide my strength, but unfortunately this long sword is too tempting. . .

Well then, let me personally pick up this Mingzhao to kill demons and demons, get rid of filth, and live up to the prestige of the Lord of the Stars and Beibei Ziwei!
