Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

It was at this moment that Zhou Qin felt the innate spiritual energy in his body passing away little by little.

"This is?"

Just when Zhou Qin was startled, Butler Yue had already slapped him with a palm. He looked frightened and panicked and mobilized his innate spiritual energy to resist the slap from Butler Yue.

"Pfft."

The disparity in strength and the sudden change caused him to be slapped away by the music steward. After falling to the ground, he rolled some distance and a mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth.

Just when Zhou Qin was about to get up with difficulty, the figure of Le Guanjia suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Qin and crushed Zhou Qin's head with his foot.

From the beginning to the end, Le Guanjia only used the power brought by his physical body and did not use the innate spiritual energy in his body.

After that, the music steward followed the same pattern and dealt with other officials.

Although the other officials felt it was a bit strange, they still subconsciously resisted the sudden attack from Butler Le. This was the instinct of the body.

Heavenly prison.

All the relatives of the Song Dynasty royal family above low-grade warriors in Luonan were imprisoned here.

From time to time in the cell, the royal clan members shouted angrily at Lu Sheng, calling him "the above-mentioned criminal, a treasonous minister and a traitor".

Although these clans have no rights in the court and their official positions are only empty, their bloodline is destined to be superior to those ministers and their status is also above them.

Even today, when the imperial power is declining, those ministers are still friendly towards them.

Even when Xu Guozhong was still there, he would not treat them like this, let alone put them in a prison.

Not only that, everyone was tied up with special ropes.

"Pound."

At this moment, the door to the prison was opened, and a group of soldiers walked in in a hurry.

The clan members who were scolding angrily just now closed their mouths one by one and lowered their heads.

"Prepare."

The captain of this team of soldiers came to King Zhao Chuyue and said in a deep voice.

The soldiers set up their bows and arrows one by one, aiming at Chu Yue who was tied up in the cell.

When the clan members in the cell next to him saw this scene, they immediately shouted: "Bold, what are you going to do?"

Chu Yue also shouted: "How shameless, I am a member of the royal family, Lu Sheng must have asked them to come. Even if they want to kill me, they still need His Majesty's decree."

However, the soldier captain seemed not to hear Chu Yue's words and waved his hand: "Let go."

Dozens of arrows shot towards Chu Yue quickly.

Chu Yue's expression changed greatly, and he panicked and circulated the innate spiritual energy in his body. However, the ropes tied to his body suppressed it and could not protect him. Soon he was shot into a hedgehog.

After confirming Chu Yue's death, a soldier opened the iron door of the cell and walked in, untying the rope from the body.

If you sense it carefully, you will find that wisps of innate spiritual energy have been drawn away from Chu Yue's body.

After this special rope is made and soaked in the blood of the warrior, it acts as a suppressor for the warrior, and the suppression range is limited, not for high-grade warriors.

Moreover, people who are bound by special ropes can also mobilize the innate spiritual energy in their bodies, but they cannot release it under the suppression of the ropes.

Just before Chu Yue died, the innate spiritual energy in his body was in a state of operation. After he died, the various functions of the body were still maintained for a short period of time. It would take a while before they would completely stop working.

So after the rope was untied, the innate spiritual energy in the body was released, lingering around Chu Yue's body, and was finally swallowed up by the spirit-devouring array and transmitted back to the array eye.

…

The chaotic imperial army crowded the streets of Zhuque Street. After all, Lu Xuan and Lu San did not tell Chen Jun about the ambush in the city in advance. When they arrived, Chen Jun's vanguard team had already joined the ambush. Lu Jun did it.

As for these forbidden troops, they were the broken troops gathered by the music steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they changed their direction to confront Chen's army.

Chen Jun's main force saw this scene and immediately stepped forward to respond.

"Dong dong dong..."

The drums sounded, and the sword and shield bearers from the Tengjia Army rushed up, led by Jiang Li himself. They held large shields and ring-headed knives, and followed Jiang Li, who was holding a horse in one hand, along the avenue.

Behind them, there were a larger number of Tengjia Army and Chen Army armed with spears, but they did not all rush up, but kept a few dozen steps away.

The streets are only so wide, and stacking them all up would do more harm than good. Their role is to fill the gaps if there are heavy casualties in the front.

However, Jiang Li personally led the team to fight. As a fourth-grade warrior, every time he swung his horse, he could kill several of them, break their bones, and send them flying several feet away.

The washing speed of the heavy rain could not even keep up with the speed of bleeding. As soon as the rain fell to the ground, it turned into blood, dyeing the bluestone streets red.

The enemy troops retreated step by step, and Chen Jun pressed forward step by step.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook. The roof tiles of the houses on both sides of the street were shaken and fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces.

Then the earth cracked, and water gurgled out from the cracks. Some people were swallowed by the cracks. The colleague next to him went to pull him, but his feet also suddenly cracked, and they fell together.

The sudden change shocked everyone on both sides and mistakenly thought it was an earthquake.

Jiang Li thought so too, but soon, he felt an invisible external force extracting the innate spiritual energy from his body.

Jiang Li's expression changed, he didn't know what happened.

At this moment, on the branch road next to Zhuque Avenue, Butler Le and Lu Sheng's soldiers came to kill him and shouted angrily: "Kill!"

At this moment, Le Guanjia, even if he does not use his innate spiritual energy, can only rely on the strength of his own body, which is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Whoosh"

But the moment he just emerged, he fell to the ground with a plop, an arrow stuck between his eyebrows, his mouth opened slightly, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, his eyes were wide open, and he refused to close his eyes.

The Lu Sheng soldiers behind him were all frightened by this scene, but they did not flinch and did not dare to step forward. After a brief hesitation, they continued to rush forward.

There was no need for Jiang Li and the others to be distracted. The Tengjia Army and Chen Army, who were rushing behind them, separated out in an orderly manner and attacked them.

Before that, some of the crossbowmen from Chen's army climbed up to some commanding heights on both sides of Zhuque Street. Armed with strong bows and crossbows, they killed the Forbidden Army soldiers in twos and threes from a high position, helping Jiang Li and the others share the pressure.

Now Lu Sheng's personal soldiers from Zhigan Road came to kill them. These crossbowmen instantly changed their direction and suppressed them first, shooting at them so that they kept dodging.

At this moment, the separated Tengjia Army and Chen Army came in front of them, crashed into their formation that was disrupted by the arrow rain, and stabbed them mercilessly.

Chen Mo, who put down his bow and arrow, also noticed something strange about the sudden "earthquake" in the city, but when he wondered what happened, the innate spiritual energy in his body began to leave his body involuntarily.

The Snow Dragon Jun beneath him also hissed uneasily.

Chen Mogang thought it was some special "martial arts attack" and quickly mobilized his innate spiritual energy to defend himself, but it was of no use. Instead, he felt more absorbed.

His expression changed and he looked around to see what was going on. Suddenly he found a potted plant on the window sill of a private house. The green plants on the potted plant were turning yellow and withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. got up.

"Spiritual Devouring Array"

Such words suddenly appeared in Chen Mo's mind, and he remembered the spirit-devouring array he had encountered in Xia Lin, and it seemed to be very imaginary with the scene at the moment.

But after a little recall, when I was in Xia Lin, I didn't find that the spirit-eating array has the effect of absorbing other people's innate spiritual energy?

He immediately stopped running the technique and gathered the innate spiritual energy back, but found that it was useless. The innate spiritual energy in his body was still being drained away bit by bit.

If there was a detailed progress bar, only 80% of Chen Mo's innate spiritual energy was left at this moment.

Of course, not all of the 20% consumed was absorbed by the Spirit Devouring Array. When attacking the city and dealing with Lu Sheng, plus the arrow just now, at least 15% was consumed.

But even so, in just a short period of time, 5% was taken away by the spirit-eating array, which is very terrifying.

You must know that the capacity of Chen Mo's Dantian is at least several times larger than that of a warrior of the same realm.

If it had been anyone else, wouldn't it be that much of it had been taken away?

Chen Mo quickly looked at Jiang Li and found that the red number on his forehead had dropped to 700, a drop of more than a hundred.

He quickly turned around and looked at Nalan Yiren.

2223, no change at all.

So does Xia Zhining.

"What's wrong?" Nalan Yiren asked in confusion as she saw Chen Mo staring closely at her.

"Can you run the technique and release the innate spiritual energy?" Chen Mo said.

"???"

Although Nalanyi was confused, he still gave it a try. After all, this was not an embarrassing move.

But soon, Nalanyi felt something, and his expression changed slightly: "What did you do to me?"

Xia Zhining looked over.

"Do you feel like the innate spiritual energy in your body is being drained away bit by bit?" Chen Mo said.

"What on earth did you do to me?" Seeing Chen Mo's words, Nalan Yiren even more believed that Chen Mo had done something to her, and she angrily scolded her.

"Master Marquis, the general also feels that the innate spiritual energy in his body is being drained away bit by bit." Sun Meng, who was bending his bow and setting an arrow to mobilize his innate spiritual energy as a shooter, suddenly noticed something and said quickly.

"not good."

At this time, Chen Mo finally understood what was going on with the weirdness he had felt since he entered the city.

Facing the confused looks of Xia Zhining, Nalan Yiren, Sun Meng and others, Chen Mo did not explain too much. Just when he was about to order the withdrawal of troops, he suddenly thought that if the troops were withdrawn at this time, the good situation would be reversed.

Moreover, he realized that low-level warriors and ordinary people who could not absorb the innate spiritual energy were not affected at all.

After all, there is no innate spiritual energy in the body, so it cannot be drained away.

He looked at Sun Meng, then moved to a soldier, and said: "You, quickly notify General Yue and General Wu, and ask them if they are also being extracted from the innate spiritual energy. If so, tell them to quickly Evacuate, remember, just let them evacuate alone, don't disturb the army. "

At this time, Nalan Yiren also realized that the reason might not be with Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn't need to say anything, she jumped directly from the horse, turned around and jumped onto a roof, and then within a few jumps, she was dozens of feet away from Chen Mo.

"Zhining, you stay and take command first. Be careful not to rush in. Be careful." After Chen Mo said to Xia Zhining, he then said to Sun Meng, asking him to withdraw from the city as well.

Then Chen Mo jumped up from the horse, landed on the ground, tapped the ground with his toes, and jumped up again. As he was spinning in the air, he performed the Cloud Walk, stepping lightly on the raindrops with his soles, and several He stepped forward and landed on Jiang Li's horse.

Jiang Li felt something and just turned around, Chen Mo picked him up.

Chen Mo tapped his foot lightly, and at the same time he jumped into the air, the Tang sword hanging on his waist was instantly pulled out, and he quickly swung it in front of him.

"Da Ri Yi Qi Zhan!"

A terrifying invisible sword light fell on the enemy army, and hundreds of people were cut in half, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The street was directly cleared out.

Chen Mo did not stay for too long, and retreated with Jiang Li.

After leaving Zhuque Street, Chen Mo put Jiang Li down.

At this time, Chen Mo found that the speed of the innate spiritual energy being extracted from his body began to slow down.

Chen Mo asked Jiang Li and found that he was the same.

"Duke Anguo, what happened?" Jiang Li asked.

"Let's talk about it after we go out." Chen Mo did not stay for long and said.

...

South Gate.

The fifth Fusheng and Liu Ji, who were behind the palace outside the city, saw Chen Mo, Jiang Li and Sun Meng running out of the city, and hurried forward to greet them.

The fifth Fusheng said, "Duke Anguo, something happened in the city. Why did the ground start to shake?"

"Yes, Duke Anguo, is there any accident?" Liu Ji asked.

Before Chen Mo could speak, Jiang Li behind him said in surprise, "Duke Anguo, that feeling is gone."

Jiang Li found that the innate spiritual energy in his body was no longer out of his body uncontrollably.

Chen Mo also discovered this and said, "I suspect Lu Sheng activated the Soul Devouring Formation. What happened in the city is almost the same as the Soul Devouring Formation I encountered in Xia Lin. The only difference is that it can absorb the innate spiritual energy in me and General Jiang."

"What, Soul Devouring Formation?!"

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, the fifth Fusheng, Liu Ji, and Jiang Li were all shocked. Then the fifth Fusheng frowned. As a loyal minister of Emperor Taizu, his ancestor had participated in the arrangement of Emperor Taizu's Soul Devouring Formation, so he naturally knew the horror of the Soul Devouring Formation.

He wondered, "The dragon vein energy under Luonan has long been drained by Emperor Taizu. Even if it is restarted, it can only extract the innate spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Lu Sheng wants to break through by forming a formation..."

As he said this, Diwu Fusheng thought of Chen Mo's words, "It can actually absorb the innate spiritual energy in me and General Jiang's body." He immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Lu Sheng must have obtained the formation diagram of the Soul Devouring Formation and changed the way the Soul Devouring Formation operates. He wants to use the innate spiritual energy in the warrior's body to make up for the lack of dragon vein energy."

"Not good, Lu Sheng wants to take that step." Liu Ji's face changed.

Chen Mo also realized that the situation was not good. If Lu Sheng broke through to the first grade, then everything would be over.

At the beginning, Emperor Taizu broke through to the first grade warrior to turn the tide.

"By the way, where is Miss Nalan?"
