If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 246 Respective tasks

Xiaoyu was a little disappointed with the martial arts conference that she had just attended.

There were few participants, and there was no lively scene of fighting for the leadership.

There were no guests coming on stage to perform to liven up the atmosphere, and the leader was announced directly.

The leader did not display any magical powers, but only roughly explained his plan to exorcise ghosts: I am the leader, I will be at the front, using thunder magic to clear the way, and my brothers will follow me.

Well, it was very simple and rough. There was no military formation or battle array that Xiaoyu had expected. He just rushed in headfirst.

However, she really couldn't find any fault with this reckless approach, because the leader of the alliance was at the forefront.

As long as people shout “Brothers, follow me”, the specific tactics are not so important. Everyone cherishes his own life. Who would do it if they are in the front and have the highest risk without certainty?

If you shout "Brothers, charge", it will be useless even if the tactics and strategies are described in a flowery way and sound seamless and perfect.

It was almost noon when the leader finished explaining the tactics and the "immortal" on the stage and the big guys at the small table all expressed their support.

Li Xianzhi clapped his hands, and a group of servants filed out of the gate of Beppu, bringing out large pots and bowls of steamed meat, grilled meat, braised meat, fried meat and all kinds of meat dishes with solid ingredients.

All meat, not even fish.

The meat was in particularly large pieces, much of it was placed in copper basins as big as foot basins, with tendons and large bones attached, so you could just pick it up and eat it.

It was very enjoyable to eat and tasted very good. I think they invited a chef from a famous restaurant in Tianmen Town to cook it.

Xiaoyu tasted familiar flavors in several meat dishes.

"Little Phoenix"

She and the dog meat Taoist priest were eating meat with big mouthfuls, while the old monk was chanting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, Li Xianzhi came over.

He dragged a chair over and sat down beside him, then asked in a low voice, "What have you thought about? Do you want to participate in the extermination of ghosts at Guaizi Mountain in three days?"

This was not the first time he asked her this question; they had discussed it before when they met.

At that time, Xiao Yu said that he didn't know much about the martial arts conference and the Eight Ghost Kings, and he wanted to wait for the martial arts conference to officially begin and then decide whether to go to fight the ghosts based on the situation.

"Prince, don't worry. I am also from Tianmen Town. I will definitely not let the kidnapper mountain ghost do whatever he wants. In three days' time, you will definitely see me fully armed in the ghost-killing army."

Xiao Yu's voice was clear but loud, and nearly half of the people in the venue could hear it. It also attracted many cheers of "Fairy Yu is unparalleled in chivalry." Most of them were her acquaintances, "friends" she met at various banquets.

Li Xianzhi's smile widened, and his tone became gentler, saying, "The leader of Minshan wants you to be his bodyguard. What do you think?"

"Protect the leader of Minshan?" Xiaoyu looked past Li Xianzhi and looked at the "Leader of Wulin" on the stage.

The old farmer from Minshan was talking to someone next to him. When he noticed her gaze, he immediately turned his head and smiled at her.

"How to protect the leader of Minshan?"

She just plans to slack off!

Li Xianzhi explained: "When the leader of Minshan uses the Five Thunders Righteousness, it will definitely attract the attention of all the ghosts, so it is not surprising that the Ghost King gets angry and attacks.

Fairy Yuchen, Taoist Shuilong, Fairy Bikongzi, Master Fufeng and others will naturally work together to intercept the Ghost King and the Ghost Generals, but if there are any omissions, they will need someone to make up for them. "

Xiao Yu said: "The prince must have studied my swordsmanship. My realm is relatively low, only the inner strength realm, and I have not practiced the body-building exercises, so I am not suitable for direct combat.

If the ghost general or ghost king cuts me with a knife, I will turn into a ghost.

Similarly, if my Pure Yang sword energy hits the ghost general, he will definitely scream in pain.

So, my battle plan is to lurk in the dark and look for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

For example, if other immortals directly restrain the ghost general, the ghost general will have no intention and no ability to defend himself, and I will quietly approach and take advantage of him with my cold sleeves. "

If a good opportunity was right before her eyes, she would definitely be willing to kill one or two ghost kings. After all, the "Qiao Shi Sword Incident" had already shown that the Ghost King of Guaizi Mountain had deep ill intentions towards her.

But if there was no chance, she would definitely not be willing to risk her life.

Li Xianzhi nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

This is indeed the combat method that best suits her level of strength.

She said it out loud without any pause or thought, which shows that she must have thought about it seriously.

Then she must not have been perfunctory with him before: she intended to contribute to the ghost-hunting operation.

"You can still adopt this tactic. In fact, the leader of Minshan and I hope you will do so."

Li Xianzhi explained: "Even though the leader's movements will be restricted to a certain extent when he releases the Five Thunders Righteousness Method, making him an easy target, it does not mean that he can only take the beating and cannot fight back.

The leader of Minshan has the skills to protect the way, as well as the power to protect himself.

Please protect him, not to directly intercept the ghost generals and ghost kings who are coming to attack.

Instead, follow your own way. When he stops the ghost general or ghost king, you look for an opportunity to give the ghost a fatal blow. "

He glanced at Chijuro beside him and said directly: "Just like the day you and Master Chijuro teamed up to kill the tiger demon."

Xiaoyu looked suddenly enlightened.

When the old farmer from Minshan performed the Five Thunders Method, his condition was definitely stronger than that of Chijiuluo who had a knife stuck in his body that night.

She was able to protect Chijiuluo and kill the tiger demon. She could also use the same method to protect the old farmer in Minshan, or at least attract enemy firepower and share the pressure for him.

That night, with a knife between his body, Chijiuluo had no way to escape and could only cooperate with Xiaoyu to restrain the tiger monster.

If the Ghost King turned his hateful gaze upon her, the old farmer in Minshan would have many choices.

You can cooperate with her to directly restrain the Ghost King and create opportunities for her, or you can just run away when you see that the situation is not good.

"No problem." Xiaoyu agreed without hesitation.

Whether it was a perfect opportunity for a fatal blow was not decided by Li Xianzhi and the old farmer from Minshan, but by her.

She felt that it was not a good opportunity. Even if the old farmer from Minshan and the Ghost King grabbed each other's necks at the same time and refused to let go, she would just hide on the side and watch the fun without taking any action.

She could even be lurking and looking for an opportunity to fight from beginning to end.

Seeing Li Xianzhi's happy smile, Xiao Yu said again: "Sir, we can't go to Guaizi Mountain empty-handed, right?

As for the situation of the Eight Ghost Kings of Guaizi Mountain, have you found out anything about it?"

Li Xianzhi nodded and said, "We will definitely prepare weapons, medicines and talismans to deal with ghosts. You don't have to worry about the situation in the Eight Kings Palace in Guaizi Mountain. The City God and the ghost messengers in the underworld will take care of everything.

After lunch, I will register the sorcerers and warriors who will participate in the ghost-hunting operation, then organize them into teams and assign them corresponding tasks.

Two days is enough to prepare everything, and then we will set out to Guaizi Mountain at noon on the third day."

"Even the ghost messengers from the underworld are involved in this ghost-slaying operation? Why don't they just send a large army to the border?" Xiao Yu asked.

Li Xianzhi frowned and said, "The situation in the underworld is a bit complicated, even I don't quite understand it.
I am only repeating Guan Chenghuang's original words. If a ghost king from other places enters the territory of Western Shu and injures or kills people, the underworld will directly send an official document to ask Fengdu City to take action.

The Eight Ghost Kings of Guaizi Mountain and their 100,000 ghost soldiers are not from Western Shu, but they are ghosts of Western Shu.

The 'blessed land' of Guaizi Mountain belongs to the Xisha area.

In other words, in the underworld of Western Shu, they are completely "local ghosts". To be honest, I strongly disagree.

They are clearly foreign ghosts.

Even if he died in Shu's territory, he does not belong to Western Shu, and he should not occupy our Western Shu's Guaizi Mountain."

The dog meat Taoist priest chuckled and said, "Who cares whether your emperor in the world of the living agrees with the matter of the underworld?"

Chi Jiu Luo sighed, "Guaizi Mountain has become the 'blessed land of the underworld' for the eight ghost kings. The land of the living world in Western Shu belongs to your Li family, and the underworld is not under the jurisdiction of the kings of the living world.

Wherever you die and are buried, that place will easily become a 'blessed land' for ghosts. Well, not all burial places are blessed lands. Some places are poor in land and not suitable for burying people. This is the origin of Feng Shui treasure land.

Only a place with good feng shui can become a blessed land.

'Fudi' is like a ghost's personal fiefdom, which is the rule of the underworld.

There are City God Temples and Land God Temples in the world of the living, and there are corresponding City God's blessed lands and Land God's blessed lands in the underworld.

Most of the time, the City God and the Land God live in the blessed land in the underworld.

But occupying blessed land is not the privilege of ghosts and gods in the underworld.

Everything that living beings have is bestowed by heaven and earth, and no one can deprive living beings of their right to survive between heaven and earth.

This is true for people in the world of the living, and it is also true for ghosts in the underworld."

Xiao Yu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Fengdu Wuchang said that there were rules in the underworld and they could not capture the Ghost King of Guaizi Mountain at will.

"It's fine that people in the world of the living can't control the blessed land of the underworld. But the Eight Ghost Kings of Guaizi Mountain clearly want to harm millions of lives in Tianmen Town. Isn't this a great crime?" Li Xianzhi said.

"It's a serious crime, so the underworld sent several waves of ghost officials to encircle and suppress Guaizi Mountain." Chijuro said.

"Ghost messengers are useless, we need to send a great god." Li Xianzhi said.

Chijuro was silent and Xiaoyu curled her lips.

The dog meat Taoist took a bite of the delicious meat, his mouth dripping with oil, and said vaguely: "My lord, when things get out of hand, there will naturally be a great god.

For example, if one day our Tianmen Town is really slaughtered by ghosts, the underworld gods will be furious. "

"Master, what are you talking about! Tianmen Town has been massacred, what do we need the gods to do?" Li Xianzhi said unhappily.

Taoist Dog Meat muttered, "It's not the first day that Guaizi Mountain has been haunted. In the past few months, villagers have been kidnapped by the Flathead General.

For example, Zhang Xiaoqiao and Chen Laoshi from Qinghe Village.

Don’t you know about this?

Well, if you didn't know before, it must be that the people below thought the matter was not serious and there was no need to alarm you, the "great god".

When a villager's soul was abducted, it was a devastating event for his family.

The village land god is a trivial matter worthy of vigilance, but the official of Tianmen Town has nothing to do with me and I know nothing about it.

This is true in the officialdom of the human world, and it is probably also true in the underworld.

You think it is a big deal that the Eight Ghost Kings are occupying Guaizi Mountain at this time.

The Eight Ghost Kings' intention to invade Tianmen Town is a fatal event that could threaten the sky's collapse.

But to the 'great god' of the underworld, it's probably just like the first time you heard that Guaizi Mountain is haunted."

Li Xianzhi blushed and felt very uncomfortable, but he was speechless and unable to refute.

Xiaoyu is not the only one who has been assigned a special task.

Li Xianzhi visited each of the "big guys" sitting at a small table in the front row of the audience and chatted with them one by one.

Even the dog meat Taoist priest and Chijuro have arrangements.

The dog-meat Taoist priest will represent the Shu Kingdom court and build an altar at the foot of Guaizi Mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, trying his best to ensure that the ghost country's evil soldiers cannot form a tide.

That is to prevent the ghost soldiers from "borrowing the passage" to the human world.

Humans have their own way, ghosts have their own way, and humans and ghosts have different paths.

If too many ghost soldiers act together and walk the ghost path in the human world together, there is a saying that goes, there are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on it, it becomes a road.

Originally, the "Shudong Ghost Suppression Army" belonged to the "invaders" of the Ghost Kingdom - invading the Ghost Kingdom of the Underworld from the World of the Living.

If you can't win, just take a step back and retreat to the world of the living.

At noon, when the sun was at its strongest, the ghosts retreated back to the world of the living and dared not chase them out.

However, once the trend of "the Yin soldiers (in the world of the living) borrowing the road" is formed, the boundary between the human world and the underworld will become extremely blurred. This is a home advantage for the Yin soldiers, but extremely disadvantageous to the "ghost-suppressing army."

If the "ghost soldiers borrowing the road" spreads over a hundred miles, from Lianghe Beach all the way to Tianmen Town, they will not be able to sweep across the Eight Kings Palace, but will instead have their own hometown stolen.

The dog meat Taoist has a heavy task, but he is not alone. Li Xianzhi says that Guan Chenghuang will lead a group of ghosts and gods to accompany them in the expedition to the ghost country of Guaizi Mountain.

The nearby land gods and mountain gods will do their best to direct the negative energy overflowing from Guaizi Mountain.

If the Yin energy does not spread among the Yang, it will be difficult for the Yin soldiers to form tides.

Chijiula also tried his best. His body was broken at this time, so he planned to leave his body as a "yin spirit" and follow the ghost-hunting team in a soul state, chanting Buddhist scriptures and blessing everyone with the power of Buddha's light to protect them from the invasion of evil spirits.
