Heaven's Formula

Fang Xiandao walked into a bungalow in an orderly manner. He didn't squat down until he could no longer see himself from the perspective, covered his ankles and took a deep breath.

Who would have thought that the place was so uneven that he stepped on it?

The result is that I accidentally sprained my foot.

Fortunately, the alchemist's self-healing ability is outstanding, otherwise he might not be able to land in the ground for a few days.

"Master Fang, so you are here. I have had a hard time finding you."

Suddenly, a childish voice sounded from behind him.

Fang Xiandao's expression froze, and regardless of the pain in his ankle, he strode to leave, but a small hand had already grasped the hem of his trousers tightly.

After dragging the opponent on the ground and rubbing for several feet, he stopped helplessly and said, "Qianzhi, let go."

I saw a little girl lying on the ground, clutching his pants with one hand, and protecting her face with the other, as if she didn't want the dust to stain her face.But her hair and half of her clothes were completely in contact with the ground, and they were rubbed into a mess in just a few steps.

"Qianzhi, don't let go."

"I don't run."

"Oh." The little girl let go of her little hand and got up from the ground.

Fang Xiandao sighed, he knew that the girl in front of him was not an ordinary person.There is a special branch of the Fang family. Among their offspring, a small number of their descendants are born with the ability to sense Qi, and their physique is extremely strong.But they will also lack some emotions and perceptions, appear dull, and even forgetful, so they are called the living dead by the Fang family.

This girl named Qianzhi is a living dead.

"How did you get here?"

"The old lady was furious when she heard that you had escaped from the Gyeonggi Privy Council. She said that she would discount your dog legs, and entrusted this task to Qianzhi. The old lady also predicted your location."

"You don't really want to break my leg, do you?" Fang Xiandao said dumbfounded.The living dead will stop growing at a certain point in time, and will not change until they die. It may be from five or six years old to twenty years old.Although Qianzhi is no different from a little girl, Fang Xiandao is really not sure that she can stop her when she moves.

"Don't worry, young master. The old lady stopped the old lady, and said that places like the Privy Council's Office are fine. But you have to write to your family often to report that you are safe, otherwise they will send other people to break your dog's legs." Qian Zhi was serious. Said, "Before then, I will walk with the young master."

No matter how young or young, everyone is obviously not related by blood.

"Wait, why is there blood on your hands?" Fang Xiandao suddenly found a red "handprint" on his trousers.

"Just now I found a villain who tried to misbehave with the young master. Qianzhi has already dealt with him. Don't worry, Qianzhi didn't let anyone see it. Even if he is seen, he won't implicate the young master. Qianzhi is very good at going to jail. "

"Uh... You said just now, when I was standing on the top of the stone tower?"

Chichi nodded vigorously.

In just such a short while, has he already been affected by the whirlwind...

Divination does not mention this at all.

Fang Xiandao was silent for a while, "Forget it, this place is likely to become unsettled, and it's an extra guarantee for more people to follow."

The Fang family is good at Kanjutsu, hexagram calculation and deduction, so the close combat ability is not strong.The living dead are the means to make up for this shortcoming. Generally, the important figures of the Fang family will have an exclusive living dead to accompany them.

He didn't expect that one day he would be treated like this.

Probably because of the fact that the Fang family has few disciples and is much smaller than other aristocratic families.

"Since it's not peaceful, why do you still stay here?" Qianzhi tilted her head and asked.

"This question is too complicated, and you won't understand it if I tell you."

"Qianzhi will try to remember."

Fang Xiandao frowned and looked at her for a while, then shook his head and said, "Just imagine the evolution of things in this world as a storm. The essence of divination is to gain insight into this changing hurricane, but what if the spell fails? Then you can only I saw it with my own eyes."

"Can't you see it elsewhere?"

"That's not real enough. Just like a drama, what's the best place to enjoy it? Of course, the closer the better." Fang Xiandao looked up at the sky, and the clouds that had been standing still had moved at some point, and the morning light on the horizon brought a hint of coolness , "Look, it's windy."

Chapter 141 Hidden Killing

"Fuck, isn't that a merchant ship?" Pan Houzi jumped onto the wall and looked over.

When Tian Shi yelled, five people crowded up and occupied the top of the tower.

"The merchant ships are always walking close to the coast, how could they come from that direction." Boss Wu narrowed his eyes and said, "And the shape of the ships doesn't look like Qiguo's merchant ships, they don't run so fast."

"Boss, that boat seems to be heading towards Jinxia City!"

"It can't be a sea bandit." Someone muttered.

Tian Shi felt inexplicably nervous.

He had been a soldier for a long time, but he had never fought a real enemy, and he joined the army just for the reward.

Boss Wu spat on his palm, "If it's really pirates, then there will be fun. Everyone, this is a good opportunity to earn merit!"

"No, boss, you will die if you get stabbed."

"Damn it, if you turn around and close the city gate, will they still be able to attack the city? At most, there will be a scene outside the city." He said disapprovingly, "As long as we can notify the brothers in the city in time You guys, I can’t get away with this credit!” Boss Wu slapped Tian Shi fiercely, “Well done, Shi Shi, if it wasn’t for your fuss, I’m sure they’d be able to land directly. Reward for meritorious deeds, you might be able to directly become a corporal leader!"

Hearing what the other party said, Tian Shi immediately felt relieved.

"Monkey, go for a run and bring the news to the government office, let them close the city gate first!"

"Decree!" Pan Houzi patted his buttocks and was about to run down the tower.

"Don't tell the gatekeeper, report directly to the government, understand!" Boss Wu warned again, "If you let those people tell you, at least half of the credit will be taken from you!"

"I know."

"So what do we do?" the others asked.

"What's the rush, of course we need to continue to monitor. This ship can't come to land. After they land and confirm that they are pirates, it won't be too late for us to retreat back to the city."

"Do you want to notify the residents outside the city?"

"Only the four of us? Can you notify me?" Boss Wu gave the questioner a sideways look, "That's a matter for the government, so let's not worry about it."

"Speaking of which, there are quite a few pirate ships..." Tian Shi couldn't help frowning as he looked at the gray shadow on the sea sky.He roughly counted and found that the number of ships in his field of vision had increased from the initial two or three to more than ten.

A thousand taels of silver is always needed on a ship, right?They are so rich, why are they still robbing Jinxia City?Isn't it good to loot merchant ships along the way?

"Heh, you don't understand. The reason why Kou is Kou is because there is a mix of snakes and rats inside, and there are all kinds of goods." Boss Wu disdainfully said, "Looking at the huge momentum, if the wind is not right, why don't you immediately go to the police station?" Scatter? If you don’t believe me, you’ll have a look later, I promise they won’t dare to approach the city wall.”

"Boss is very knowledgeable!"

"Let's not talk about the city wall, I guess they won't come close to this sentry tower."

Tian Shi suddenly remembered what the strange man said——

"However, since the hexagram board points here, it means that you are on the cusp of the storm. Why don't you listen to me and find a place to avoid it first, so as not to be involved?"

Will this beachhead...will become the cusp of the storm?

No, how is it possible.He shook his head, what Boss Wu said was not unreasonable, even if the other party came with hundreds or thousands of people, they would not be able to cross the east wall of Jinxia City.

But let's say he was playing tricks, if he hadn't made such a noise, how could he have discovered the strangeness in the sea so quickly?

Just then, a gust of wind blew up at sea.

The sea breeze with a salty smell passed over the long beach, and the dust rolled up made everyone close their eyes.

The sky suddenly darkened a lot.

"Hey, Boss..." Suddenly someone murmured, "Are you sure that is really a pirate ship..."

Tian Shi half covered his eyes and looked at the sea again.

Then he felt as if all the blood in his body was congealed.

Amidst the gray shadows, a completely different sea ship appeared—it was several times larger than those pointed ships beside it, and the sails above its head were densely covered with clouds, and it looked like a moving ship from a distance. island.

Everyone was stunned.

Some of them often live by the sea, and they have seen many large two-masted ships, but none of the ships in the past can compare with this one.

Even if it is a pirate, it is impossible to be so rich, right?

Gradually, Tian Shi saw something different.

The ship's side is extremely high, like a building, and the distribution of layers is particularly obvious.On the side of the ship's side, there were densely packed small holes—although he didn't know why the ship was made like this, but one thing was certain, such a steep ship's side was definitely not suitable for loading and transporting people.

Boss Wu gasped even more.

"Oh my God... Bodhisattva bless..." He muttered something in a low voice, then raised his voice suddenly, "Feng Huo, light the Beacon Fire! Don't just stand there, let me move!"

"Boss, are you serious?"

Beacon together, the meaning of this matter is completely different.

That means that the surrounding beacon towers will also be lit one after another, until the nearest army stationed responds.

"Don't worry about the consequences, let's light the beacon fire first!" Boss Wu roared, "If these people have malicious intentions, the guards of Jinxia City will definitely not be able to handle it!"

……

Twelve miles outside Jinxia City, Lugang Beacon Tower.

Wen Xingyuan put on the metal mask, adjusted his fifth-rank alchemist robe, and walked slowly towards the tower.

"Stop! Who?"

As he approached the entrance, the guards on guard at the top of the tower noticed his movements.

"The Privy Council is investigating evil spirits, and I have something to ask you all." Wen Xingyuan replied coldly.

"Ah... so it's Lord Alchemist, please forgive me for being rude." Soon the wooden door was opened, and the garrison chief took the lead to lead him in, "I wonder if you can—"

Wen Xingyuan took out the jade token and displayed it in front of everyone.

The other party no longer had any doubts, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It turns out that you are an adult, I don't know what you want to ask?"

"Did you...did you notice anything unusual just now?"

"Strange?" The corporal looked at his subordinates suspiciously, "Return to my lord, everything is normal here at the humble position."

"Well, very good." Wen Xingyuan stretched his hands into his sleeves, "Take me to the top of the tower to have a look."

Although this request is a bit strange, there is nothing unreasonable about it - a small sentry tower is a forbidden area for the common people, but for the fifth-rank alchemists of the Privy Council, there is nothing that cannot be seen.

"Then please come with me." The corporal turned around and led the way.

He took out the talisman and medicine guide that he had prepared earlier from the cuff pocket.

"Kunshu is the ugly one, the top corner." Wen Xingyuan recited silently.

In an instant, four or five ground thorns sprang out from the ground at the bottom of the tower, and the guards staying below had no time to react, and were pierced through by these sharp "stalagmites".

There were screams all of a sudden!

"This is... my lord..." The corporal turned around and was momentarily stunned by the bloody scene.

And what answered him was a short dagger.

Chapter 142

The corporal covered his severed neck, and fell on his back with an expression of disbelief.

Hot blood splashed Wen Xingyuan's neckline.

"Pfft!"

The cover on the top of the tower was closed.

Wen Xingyuan took three steps and made two steps, quickly climbed to the top floor, and swung his fist hard, smashing the cover directly.

After climbing to the top of the tower, there was no one on it.

His heart sank suddenly, there must be no one left alive at this time.

Following the tower and looking down for a week, Wen Xingyuan found the last person at the bottom of the tower - in a panic, this person chose to jump off the beacon tower, but broke his calf when he landed.He got as close to the tower as he could, wishing he could become one with the stone, but all his attempts were in vain.

Wen Xingyuan cast a spell directly on the top of the tower, which ended in his life.

The screams in the tower gradually subsided.

Although some people were not hit critically, there were several holes in their bodies, and the bleeding alone could kill them.

Wen Xingyuan let out a sigh of relief.

His own alchemy... is obviously not as good as before.

When he was in his twenties, he used kunjutsu superbly, killed enemy soldiers and killed traitors.In a scene like this, when dealing with four or five unprepared lower-level guards, he could kill them with one blow before, leaving them without even a chance to scream.

But now, he could no longer precisely control the position of each ground thorn. After using it twice in a row, his body felt a little tired.

Alchemy is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.
