I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"what happened?"

"Look quickly..."

The other two guys were taken aback and hurried forward to check.

As a result, as soon as his body moved, he also felt a pain in his chest, and then he vomited blood and died.

The two women turned pale with fright, screamed and ran to the door...

As a result, there seemed to be an invisible door blocking their way at the door.

"what's the situation?"

The nearby guards rushed over when they heard the movement.

As a result, a strange scene appeared...they couldn't get close to the hut, no matter how they ran in which direction, no matter how long they ran, the distance from the hut remained unchanged.

It was as if the hut was moving with their footsteps.

"Damn it?"

"Could it be that there are demons at work? Quick, report to the boss..."

At this time, Gu Ming had already returned to the mirage, gave instructions to Master Ban and others, and then returned to the woods.

"My lord, what's the situation over there?"

The tidal banshee immediately stepped forward and asked.

"As these villagers said..."

Gu Ming briefly described what he saw before.

"What? These beasts actually did such an outrageous thing?"

As women, the Banshee couldn't help but feel a sense of common hatred when she heard such things.

"Sir, what shall we do now?"

Gai Nie stepped forward and asked.

"Wait!"

"Wait?"

"That's right, I've already told the ship that Master Ban and the others will send the Qin soldiers on board."

Upon hearing this, Chao Banshee couldn't help being surprised: "What are you calling Qin Bing for? A few of us can't deal with those guards?"

"It's like this..." Gu Ming explained: "The hull of the mirage is a bit severely damaged, a lot of water has entered the bilge, and a lot of food and other supplies have been soaked.

Therefore, we now not only need a lot of materials to repair the hull, but also need to replenish food, recruit craftsmen and the like.

In this way, there will inevitably be conflicts with those guys..."

"Oh, I see!"

The banshee nodded.

After a while, Master Ban manipulated the machine bird to send people over one by one.

When the people arrived, they marched towards the previous quarry under the leadership of Gu Ming and others.

According to Gu Ming's plan, first seize a stronghold and set up camp, and then attack separately.

In short, at least tens of miles of absolute control must be achieved, so that it is convenient to collect food, wood and other materials, and recruit some craftsmen to help repair the mirage.

This is also one of the reasons why Gu Ming let the hundreds of Qin soldiers on board disembark.

In addition, the amount of work to repair the mirage this time is quite large, and it may be delayed for two or three months. Instead of letting these Qin soldiers consume food on board, it is better to let them disembark to help find food.

the other side.

All the guards in the quarry were still wondering about the inability to enter the small stone house. Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Look over there..."

Everyone raised their eyes one after another, and their faces changed in shock.

There is a large area of ​​darkness, maybe there are thousands of people?

In fact, there were only more than [-] people, but the Qin soldiers were all in armor and their movements were uniform, so they looked majestic and imposing in the eyes of these guards.

Mentally, he was a little weaker.

"This...these...who are they?"

A group of guards panicked.

"Could it be... the heavenly soldiers and generals?"

"Brothers, hold on, I'll report to the boss..."

Someone found an excuse and fled.

"I'll go as well……"

There were less than 20 guards on the scene. Such a battle had already scared them out of their wits. How dare they stay?

One runs faster than the other.

The villagers in the quarry didn't dare to run... Where could they go?

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you..."

After all, Duan Murong came from a doctor's family and was kind-hearted. Seeing the villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed in fright, she couldn't help speeding up her steps and saying a few words of comfort.

Gu Ming also stepped forward and said: "Listen everyone, from now on you are no longer slaves to be enslaved by others, our people will temporarily set up camp here to protect everyone..."

After some reassurance, the villagers finally began to understand that they had met a savior.

Next, Gu Ming ordered the leader, General Wu, to lead the crowd to set up camp first.

There is some grain in the quarry, but it is impossible to satisfy the rations of more than [-] people. Therefore, Gu Ming ordered General Wu to send more than [-] people to accompany Jing Tianming, Xiang Shaoyu, Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, Hong Lian, Zhang Wei, etc. Liang and others went hunting in the mountains.

Anyway, there are many beasts in this mountain, which can completely solve the food and drink of these hundreds of soldiers.

Afterwards, Gu Ming asked the villagers in detail, and gained a better understanding of the island's situation.

It turned out that all of this was caused by the Yamata no Orochi.

Yamata no Orochi is an ancient monster that makes the residents of the island turn their faces. It is born with eight heads and eight tails. It is extremely huge and coiled together like a mountain.

According to legend, Yamata no Orochi almost devoured all the creatures on the island, including humans.

Fortunately, an immortal descended from the sky to subdue it and seal it under the cliff on the west coast of the island.

Since then, that cliff has become a forbidden place, and any person or beast will disappear inexplicably once it approaches.

About five years ago, a mysterious man appeared, who claimed to be the reincarnation of the sage who sealed Yamata no Orochi back then, saying that the seal that sealed Yamata no Orochi was about to escape because of its age.

Such a statement caused panic among the people.

Of course, some people didn't believe it, thinking that the mysterious man was trying to deceive the public with his lies, and wanted to execute him.

But they never expected that the mysterious man's strength is quite terrifying, not only can fly in the sky, but can even call wind and rain.

Now, people believe what he said even more, and there are many fanatical followers around him.

That's it, the mysterious man gained a firm foothold with strength and lies, and more and more followers around him, until finally he revealed his hideous face and became the king who ruled the entire island.

The people on the island will either become its subordinates or become slaves.

In addition to being enslaved, the common people had to select three pairs of boys and girls every month, which were said to be used as sacrifices to strengthen the power of the seal.

"Where is this king you speak of?"

After listening to the villagers' narration, Gu Ming asked with a serious face.

"I heard it's in the middle of the island, under the Fusang sacred tree..."

The giant hibiscus tree on the island has always been regarded as a sacred tree, because people generally call it the sacred tree of hibiscus.

"Oh, I see."

Gu Ming turned and left.

On that day, the opponent was silent and there was no sign of counterattack.

After all, hundreds of Qin soldiers seem to have fallen from the sky, and the other party must be afraid.

At night, a huge bonfire was set up in the open space outside the village, and all kinds of game, large and small, were roasted beside the bonfire.

This time the hunting was very fruitful, and Gu Ming distributed a lot to the villagers, and the rest was enough for them to feed for several days.

"Young master, here you are!"

The trendy banshee took a roasted and delicious hare and handed it to Gu Ming.

After that, he sat next to Gu Ming and asked, "Young master, since the other party doesn't come to attack, should we take the initiative to attack?"

"Well, I have inquired about it, there is a market nearby, let's take that market first, and then attack separately with the market as the center.

After completely controlling this area, they began to prepare wood, and then asked some local people to help repair the mirage. "

"If that's the case, that king will surely fight back? After all, if he doesn't show up again, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future."

"Whether he shows up or not, we have to deal with him. Otherwise, once we leave, the people in this area... may have no way to survive."

"That's right...but what's the background of that guy?"

"I don't know, I won't know until we meet."

The next morning.

The other party remained silent.

Gu Ming called General Wu and confessed: "General Wu, the team will set off in a while and go to the market thirty miles away.

In this battle, our principle is to use war to support war, to seize the food and supplies that the opponent loots, except for the food and drink of the soldiers, and transport the excess back to the ship for storage.

When we have enough reserves, we will distribute the rest to the common people..."

Soldiers are very fast.

After breakfast, the team rushed to the market at the fastest speed.

As a result, it took almost no effort to wipe out all the guards stationed in the market and occupied the opponent's stronghold.

Then attack in batches according to the plan, and use the market as the center to wipe out the opponent's station.

In this way, the opponent finally couldn't hold back and began to fight back...

In the end, it was an egg hitting a stone.

Afterwards, Gu Ming decided to go to the other party's lair to find out who the other party is.

After night fell, Gu Ming sat cross-legged in the hut and imposed double restraints, and then his spirit went out of his body...

He didn't fly to the center of the island immediately, but walked around the island first.

The island is surrounded by mountains on the west and south sides, and the sea on the east and north sides. The central part is relatively flat, but there are also rivers, mountains and hills.

The overall shape is long, according to Gu Ming's estimation, it is about two hundred miles long and seventy to eighty miles wide.

When he flew over the sea on the west side, he clearly felt a soaring demonic aura... Obviously, it was the sealed Yamata no Orochi.

However, Gu Ming did not investigate in detail now, and flew to the middle of the island after going around the island.

Soon, he understood why the hibiscus tree was regarded as a sacred tree by the residents of the island.

Because this tree is really too big... At least three to four hundred meters high, the canopy covers several miles, and the trunk is tens of meters thick.

A slightly larger branch can also be equivalent to a large tree hundreds of years old.

This is the first time Gu Ming has seen such a big tree.

Not far from the hibiscus tree, there is a large house covering an area of ​​tens of acres, which must be the so-called palace.

"Ok?"

When Gu Ming flew over the courtyard, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows... because he sensed a familiar aura in the courtyard.

"The Orochi?"

Gu Ming suddenly remembered the demonic aura when he took off and sealed the Yamata no Orochi.

The aura of the two is exactly the same, but the aura of the guy in the house is much weaker.

what's the problem?
