The Great Sorcerer

When I woke up, the morning wind was clear with dew.The distant mountains outside the window meander and stretch, which is different from the gentle curve of Wu Gorge which is steep and precipitous.They have left the waterway and entered the range of Qingqiu.Canaan knelt by the bed and opened the window, looking at the slowly moving scenery outside, suddenly remembered that Qingqiu seemed to be the hometown of the Nine-Tailed Fox.Legend has it that there are often fox demons with nine tails in Qingqiu Mountain. Their voices are like babies, and they like to eat human flesh. Therefore, the nearby residents no longer go out after the sun goes down.

Canaan felt that this kind of rumor undoubtedly had elements of vilifying demons in it.Although he doesn't know what Ah Shuang usually eats, he can be sure that the other party does not eat human flesh.Otherwise, it would be impossible to hide in the dense forest near the Wuxian tribe for so many years without being discovered by other wizards.

In this way, Ah Shuang can be regarded as returning to his hometown, right?

Canaan suddenly longed to see Ah Shuang very much.He really wanted Ah Shuang to take him to the place where he grew up and see what Ah Shuang's home looked like.It's even more fun if you have siblings.Canaan imagined a family of nine-tailed foxes sleeping in a cave, and suddenly felt like laughing.

He almost forgot that he had come to fight.

After breakfast, their convoy stopped outside the military camp stretching all over the mountains and fields outside Qingqiu City.The 40 main force led by Yang Shaozhang, the lord of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, is stationed here.Standing on the hill and looking down, as far as the eye can see, there are white tents everywhere, large and small, huge but orderly.Teams of patrolling sentinels interspersed among them, and the army in mail armor shouted slogans for drills on the school grounds, and the weapons and firearms were silently displayed, which looked spectacular and solemn.

During the long journey, many unaccustomed apprentices squatted on the side of the road and vomited non-stop.Luming is one of them.He vomited and came back, his face pale and pale. Canaan said a few words of concern, and Hai Huan came over silently, put a black pill in Lu Ming's hand, said "keep it under the tongue" and left again up.Lu Ming did as he did, and he felt much more comfortable. His eyes lingered on Hai Huan, who was talking to Captain Chang Tian, ​​with a soft and happy expression on his face.

Canaan still feels uncomfortable watching their interaction.But when he thought of Ah Shuang, he felt relieved again.

Canaan stood next to Salo, looked at the tall soldiers timidly, and sighed, "How long do you think we're going to stay here?"

Salo stretched his waist idlely and said, "Who knows."

"They don't want us to go to the battlefield to kill people, do they?"

"I can't tell. Although we are apprentices, we will be mainly arranged in the rear to protect the supplies and food. But if there is a shortage of manpower in a tough battle, even ordinary people will be arrested to serve as strong men, let alone us who originally Wizards trained to fight."

Canaan listened and shivered, "I don't want to kill people... I don't want to be killed... What do you think?"

Salo spread his hands, "Be a deserter."

"Hey!"

They were led to a tent, which was empty, with only ten bunks, which were specially prepared for the team of "Little Ten Witches".The rest of the apprentices were led into a nearby tent.Everyone chose a bed to settle their packages, but at this moment they heard Nagata say, "Everyone stop what you are doing, I have something to tell everyone."

Nagata, the divination apprentice, is the oldest among all ten apprentices. He looks mature and stable, with a pair of deep eyes that seem to be able to see everything in the future.He was appointed as the captain of these ten people, and he directly obeyed the orders of the leader of the Wuxian tribe, Elder Zhuye (do you still remember that tengu...it is this person's servant).

The other nine people stopped what they were doing and looked at the captain.Nagata said, "Although we do not belong to General Han's army, since we are going to jointly defend against the enemy this time, we must abide by the rules of the barracks." After speaking, he read out all the disciplines according to a piece of paper.It includes the work and rest time stipulated in the army, as well as prohibited behaviors, including not leaving the camp without authorization, not fighting privately, not stealing civilian property, and so on.And as wizards, on this basis, they still have to strictly abide by the clan rules of the Wuxian clan, especially the ten prohibitions. Even if they have left the Wuxian clan, they still cannot be violated.

After reading these, Nagata looked at the crowd, then turned around suddenly, closed the curtain of the tent, and said to Yiheng, who is proficient in enchantment, "Please set up a simple enchantment at the gate, and then Only the ten of us can hear what happened."

Yiheng didn't ask any further questions. According to Nagata's words, he walked to the front of the camp tent and placed a red spirit stone on each side. Then he drew a few symbols in the air, and while he was chanting, he saw a layer of stones. A light blue flame flashed over the entire tent.From now on, no sound in the camp could penetrate the curtain.

Nagata looked solemn, and everyone knew that what he was going to say was probably not a trivial matter.

"This time Emperor Xuanyuan asked our Wuxian clan to come to aid General Yang Shaozhang. Apart from dealing with the Yuren's sun-shooting technique, there is another secret mission."

as predicted……

Originally, no matter how difficult and dangerous the war was, the imperial court would not ask these underage apprentices to come to the battlefield.The ten of them must be brought this time, and it must not be just as simple as supplementing backup.

Chang Tian paused, and asked, "How much do you know about Li Gu?"

This name is no stranger to many apprentices.Even Canaan has heard of it.As mentioned earlier, during the period of the fifteenth generation of Wuxie, a crazy wizard appeared in the Wuxian tribe who tried to fuse the nine major witchcrafts to reproduce the heaven-shaking power created by the first generation of Wuxian. Meditation, so that I lost myself, released all the evils that had been dormant in the depths of my consciousness and accumulated in the samsara, and finally turned into a monster, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and the blood of the entire Wuxian tribe flowed into rivers.In the end, he was defeated by the joint efforts of the great witches, but he suffered heavy casualties.Since then, the Wuxian tribe has formulated ten prohibitions, the first of which is not to arbitrarily combine witchcraft from different witch schools.

That lunatic's name was Li Gu.

Lu Ming urged, "Don't be a fool, how could someone not know about Li Gu?"

Nagata then continued, "Then how many of you know that Li Gu is probably still alive?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone shouted out almost at the same time.

"what?"

"how could it be possible?"

"Are you crazy? It's been at least 4000 years, right?"

"Even if people with strong witch power live much longer than ordinary people, it is impossible to live so long!"

"That's right... just kidding!"

Nagata didn't change his face, and he was very confident in what he said, "Yes, normal people should have turned their bones into stone long ago, but Ligu is not very human. More than 4000 years ago, he lost his mind and was killed by great witches." They worked together to kill them, and finally fell from the Wu Gorge into Wuxi. The body has not been salvaged. But more than a month ago, Mr. Wu Xian received a letter from Yu Minguo, and the letter only contained eight short words. Character."

Changtian paused for a moment, then parted his lips lightly, "Witch Clan betrayed me, I will be repaid if I leave my orphan!"

These eight words were not spoken loudly, and the tone was not intense, but everyone trembled when they heard it, and even the hairs stood on end.

The name Ligu has always been a taboo. When people talk about his tragic legend, they just call him a lunatic.But how did this name become a living thing at this time?

Xiang Lu from the Wujian department suddenly laughed dryly, "Cheat...you're a lie..."

Han Chang also said, "Yeah, it must be a prank!"

Nagata shook his head lightly, "Do you know who the instigator of this war is?"

"Aren't those idiots who killed the herdsmen?"

"No, they are just the last straw." Nagata took out a fortune teller from his sleeve, "After receiving that letter, Master Wu Xian also said that it was probably a prank, but Wu Xian Mr. Luo used that letter to perform a divination, and he got this 'big ominous'. So the Presbyterian Council sent spies to the Yumin Kingdom to inquire about the news, and soon learned that the right sage received a mysterious wizard recently. He brought the mermaid's prophecy book, which recorded the time, place and characteristics of the last spiritual consciousness. It is said that the wizard is omnipotent. The most amazing thing is that the person claimed to have lived for four thousand years and could live forever. Not old. He can even accurately describe the customs and features of Xuanyuan Kingdom 4000 years ago, as well as the world-famous bloody battle between the ten witches and the mad wizard of the Wuxian tribe. At that time, Lord Wuluo used the newly collected information to re-divinate , he had already predicted this war, and then he re-collected all the information about Ligu overnight, retreated for three days and three nights, and finally deduced a shocking conclusion: Ligu did not die back then, but was killed by someone He was rescued, and he almost exhausted his witchcraft, so he re-condensed himself and regained his consciousness. For various unknown reasons, he did incorporate part of herbalism, witchcraft, and transfiguration. And he himself specializes in summoning Although these four kinds of witchcraft are not fully integrated, they are still enough for him to practice a forbidden technique called living body reincarnation."

The more everyone heard it, the more frightened they became. Canaan almost felt that this was a fairy tale.how can that be possible? People from more than 4000 years ago? !

Nagata was not finished yet, "The so-called living body reincarnation is to pay a certain price to obtain immortality. The price is that his body will be destroyed soon, but his soul will never leave his body. In the end He may even start to rot and stink, but he will not die anyway. In order to get rid of this sad situation, whenever an organ or part of the body has a problem, just find a healthy organ and replace it. If you go in, you can continue to live like a normal person."

It is often heard that there is a price to be paid for practicing forbidden arts, but this is the first time Canaan has heard of such a disgusting and perverted price.

"As long as he has this kind of forbidden technique and he can continue to find suitable organs, let alone 4000 years, even 1 years of life will not be a problem."

There was a sudden silence in the entire camp.The atmosphere suddenly froze.

It's unbelievable, but the probability of errors in the divination and deduction of the Great Wu Wuluo is extremely small.

"The mission of the ten of us this time is to determine whether the wizard from Yumin Kingdom is Ligu." Nagata finally expressed the purpose of his speech.

But as soon as the words came out, Huanqing said leisurely from the side, "Let us ten little brats deal with Ligu? The patriarch wants us to die. What's more, he is in the mansion of the right sage in the Yumin Kingdom. Here, how do we check?"

"Because we are young, we have never walked in the wilderness, and no one knows who we are, so it is easier to infiltrate the Yumin Kingdom. And they often like to send the captured prisoners to Tongtian City, their capital. , as slaves and sold to those nobles. We can pretend to be ordinary soldiers, or pretend to be slaves, or go to the city as refugees, collect information from various parties, and then pass it on to me for divination. The most important thing is I want to see the wizard himself." As Nagata said, he took out a sealed iron box from his luggage. The fragment of the stone cat's eye is a forbidden evil object taken from the Demon Suppressing Tower. If the fragment reacts when approaching the wizard, it means that the person is indeed Ligu. So as long as we can bring this spirit stone to see Ligu If you are alone, you can know its authenticity."

Mo Ye asked at this time, "There is only one fragment, who of us can get close to him? And how do we retreat after the mission is successful?"

"Yes, there is only one fragment, so one of us will carry this fragment, and the rest of us will do our best to help him meet the wizard." Nagata said, his eyes gradually swept across the faces of the nine people.

Xiang Lu, who is from the Wujian Department, has a brave and aggressive personality, so he immediately raised his hand, "I'll go!"

Unexpectedly, Nagata shook his head, "You are too eye-catching, and it is easy to attract the attention of others. We need someone who is not easy to notice and is often ignored."

"Hey! What do you mean!"

Indeed, Xiang Lu was tall and handsome, so he was not suitable for undercover work.

As a result, Lu Ming raised his hand, "I'll go, I'll go!"

But Hai Huan said loudly almost immediately, "No!"

His reaction was so big that everyone was a little surprised.You must know that he has always kept his mouth shut, even if Lu Ming has an unusual relationship with him, given his personality, he would not have such a big reaction, at most he would help Lu Ming to push the matter away afterwards.

When he called out, Canaan realized that since the mention of Ligu, Hai Huan's complexion had become unnaturally pale.It was almost a look between horror and hatred. Although he was trying to control his expression, for Canaan who had been secretly watching him for many years, this little self-control couldn't hide his emotions at all.

There was an awkward silence, which was finally broken by Nagata, "Lu Ming is indeed not suitable. Although you are not as eye-catching as Xiang Lu, you are not low-key enough."

"Speaking of people who don't attract attention..." Huan Qing said, and suddenly looked at Canaan meaningfully, "What do you think of this kid?"
