Chapter 240 Wood Overcomes Earth
Yang Silang's mouth dropped open when he heard this.
Mo Xinlian, are you always this fierce?
What kind of thing is this?
The Taoist priest was locked in a fierce battle with Emperor Jinghe, and at the crucial moment, the fact that you were slapped so hard that you didn't suffer a qi deviation was already a testament to his profound cultivation.
Moreover, you even touched their magic pen and ran away, and then erased the door leading outside.
Thinking of how Emperor Jinghe later broke through the treasure peak and emerged, it's likely that the Taoist priest was in grave danger and died with his eyes wide open in disgrace.
Mo Xinlian could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, and immediately pouted.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm doing a good deed..."
She spoke with conviction.
"I've been following this group for a long time, and I've come to understand that they're a sect that calls itself the White Lotus Holy Sect."
"Pah, what kind of holy sect is this? It's just some kind of demonic sect."
"They said they wanted to coordinate with the rebel army from the north and south, and first break through the defensive formation of the capital."
"Once the righteous army achieves a great victory in Jiangbei Province, they can march north and strike directly at the heart of the enemy."
"How can I say that even if I'm reincarnated, I'll still be a native of the capital? Will that make them happy?"
"It's a pity I acted too late; they probably still managed to partially achieve their goal."
"At the very least, if there were any formations related to the city walls in the Jinghe Imperial Mausoleum, they must have been destroyed."
"Otherwise, there wouldn't have been an earthquake in the capital yesterday."
Upon hearing the words "Holy Sect," Yang Silang suddenly thought of Hong Tatian and Chai Qing.
It seems that the huge mess they caused was because some kind of holy nun was captured.
He later participated in the encirclement and suppression of the two, and finally participated in the killing of Hong Tatian. The whereabouts of the former deputy general Chai Qing are unknown.
Does this cat demon have such a broad perspective?
After thinking it over for a while, Yang Silang realized that she had gotten him into a trap.
"That's not right. Since you've discovered something amiss, and you're the eldest daughter of the Mo family, you must have a way to report it to the imperial court."
"Wouldn't it be more appropriate to let the imperial court handle this matter?"
"Why risk going to dangerous places yourself?"
Mo Xinlian chuckled.
"If I don't go, then there won't be any excitement to see!"
Yang Silang was speechless.
This catwoman really loves to stir up trouble; she's just too outrageous.
"Where did Emperor Jinghe fly off to when he transformed into a flying zombie?" Yang Silang asked another question.
This old fellow was warlike and aggressive during his lifetime, causing turmoil throughout the land.
Even in death, he could not find peace, and his body turned into a zombie. It is unknown whether this was related to the fact that he had absorbed the true essence of the martial saints Du and Mu during his lifetime.
I've never heard of any emperor in this dynasty turning into a zombie after death. Isn't that a huge scandal?
Mo Xinlian shook her head.
"After I came out of the tomb, I finally managed to shake off a group of tomb guards who were chasing me."
"As a result, they encountered the Martial Saint, the commander-in-chief who broke through the formation at Yintai Mountain."
"He tore apart the four Grandmaster Taoists guarding the formation with his bare hands, his eyes bloodshot."
"He saw me but didn't listen to my explanation; he attacked me without saying a word."
"It was my carelessness; the pursuers were too close, and I accidentally let him close the distance to within ten zhang, where I took a hard punch."
"However, he's not having an easy time either. He was hit by my Taoist magic and won't be able to fight anyone for six months."
Mo Xinlian said with great interest, as if she felt that she hadn't lost out and had gotten a great deal.
Yang Silang was already used to this demon immortal's unconventional thinking, and thought to himself that if it weren't for my help, you would have been even more badly injured.
Just now while I was healing.
He then discovered that a yellowish-brown true energy was coiled in Mo Xinlian's abdomen, containing a heavy, sturdy, and solid aura.
Mo Xinlian's injuries in other parts of her body were relatively minor, but this true energy had deeply penetrated her internal organs.
The two of them worked hard all night to heal their injuries through dual cultivation. As a result, the true energy seemed to be alive and retreated to reside between their spleen and stomach.
Furthermore, it will actively devour the blood and true energy of Mo Xinlian to strengthen itself, which is very troublesome.
This shows that this martial saint practiced the earth element path, and it is unknown whether he comprehended it by guarding Wanshou Mountain for many years.
Mo Xinlian said she would be back to normal in ten days to half a month, but she was actually bragging.
The overnight healing only enabled her to utilize her true energy and blood normally and restore her spirit; she is still far from returning to her peak condition.
"You're always causing trouble..." Yang Silang sighed helplessly.
Mo Xinlian pouted, displeased.
"Who says I only know how to cause trouble?"
"I also brought you some nice things..."
She reached into her storage bag, and immediately thirty-two palm-sized, dark, heavily armored wooden cavalrymen appeared on the bed.
It was covered with red runes.
The cavalry were divided into black and white.
These cavalrymen wore masks, revealing only their eyes, and each carried a gun, carried a bow on their back, and had a scimitar at their waist.
Even the armor he wore was made to be exactly the same as real armor.
Although the horses were small, they were carved very lifelike, with even the mane on them meticulously detailed.
I really don't know how so many fine hairs can be carved in such a small space.
watch carefully.
Among the black and white cavalry, there was one general, four captains, and seven soldiers on each side, which could be identified by the style of their armor.
"What is this?" Yang Silang asked curiously.
He could tell that these cavalry puppets were magical artifacts, but he didn't know what they were used for.
Mo Xinlian chuckled.
She reached out and picked up a general's doll, threw it to the ground, and her magic surged into it.
boom!
A long hiss.
The horse landed and immediately neighed loudly, rearing up on its hind legs. Even the general on it raised his horse and spear, exuding a murderous aura.
The man and horse had grown to the size of real people and horses, and the general thrust his spear forward.
A humming, trembling sound.
Lightning crackled across the gun.
Yang Silang had exceptional eyesight and hearing. Judging from the sound and speed of that stab alone, in a direct confrontation, this general could probably take on a steel-dirty martial arts master.
Moreover, his spear crackles with lightning, making him perhaps even more powerful than a typical Grand Martial Master.
When he raised his spear and leaped onto his horse, a large flag was unfurled on his back, bearing the character "General" in bold script.
Yang Silang seemed to be deep in thought. He channeled his wood-attribute true energy into his eyes and looked at the flags behind these palm-sized figures.
Sure enough, the words "General", "Guard", "Minister", and "Soldier" were written on it in order.
This is a type of military chess in this world, a pastime for people, somewhat similar to the way chess was played in the previous world.
It turns out this magical artifact is actually a set of chess pieces. I really don't know who is so extravagant as to create a set of magical chess pieces.
"Isn't it fun?" Mo Xinlian pointed at the chess pieces and said, "Just like the concentric rings, you get half and I get half."
"This is a rare weapon made from lightning-struck wood and rune arrays. When you activate it with your magic, it can actually go into battle with you."
"A few precious materials have also been added here. As long as the puppet is not too badly damaged, it can be slowly restored by bathing in a place with abundant lightning."
"Moreover, this lightning-struck wood is naturally extremely yang, which can protect the trace of your soul and magic power inside the magic treasure. It is not afraid of the impact of the killing intent and blood energy of the military formation, unlike ordinary magic treasures, where the soul and magic power inside will collapse directly when impacted by the killing intent of the military formation."
"I learned this lesson the hard way last time, which is why I fell down in front of the two armies."
"Hmm, I'll choose white and you'll play black in this game, so I can always move one step ahead of you..."
Mo Xinlian laughed as she spoke, clearly very happy.
Yang Silang was speechless.
Look at what Hu Jiaoniang gave you.
The Black Dragon Bow, the Yin-Yang Rebirth Tea, the Wood-type Divine Will Seed, and the Thunder Soul-Tempering Body Refining Method—each item was designed to enhance one's strength.
Let's see what the silly cat gave us.
A set of chess pieces for playing...
But it's really fun being with her. She laughs so happily that I feel infected by her joy, and my spirits become much more lively.
Perhaps only in front of her can I not pretend to be careful and laugh freely.
Yang Silang smiled, put away the black chess piece, and picked it up to play with.
Suddenly his expression changed, for he saw that the words "Imperial Appreciation" were engraved on the back of the horse and centaur chess pieces.
"Mo Xinlian..." Yang Silang's expression was grim. "Where did you get this chess piece from?"
Mo Xinlian stuck out her tongue.
"You found out?"
"Many things were buried next to Emperor Jinghe. I spotted this chess set at a glance and thought it would be nice for us to each have half, so I just grabbed it."
Yang Silang had a headache.
"What other valuable items were buried with him?"
"Why didn't you take it all?" This was said in anger.
Mo Xinlian folded her hands and counted.
"There are lots of good things there."
"There are three or four Taoist scriptures, and there are probably two martial arts manuals."
"In addition, there are four or five bottles of Great Elixir, three or four magical treasures, and two or three Martial Saint Divine Weapons."
"Unfortunately, these things have been tainted by his corpse aura for over a hundred years, and they're all covered in green mold and smell terrible... Only this set of lightning-struck wooden chess pieces is placed far away, which can ward off evil spirits, so that's why I chose to acquire it."
Yang Silang was speechless. He found the smell disgusting. This reason was so compelling that no one could refute it.
"Don't worry, my lord, I know that it's not appropriate to make a move if it's marked with the words 'Imperial Appreciation'."
"I'll refine them now..."
Mo Xinlian manipulated runes in the air with her delicate hand, channeling her magic power, and thirty-two chess pieces flew into the air, enveloping her within them.
Her magical power is not at its peak now; it has only recovered to most of its former level.
But in the eyes of powerful beings, these chess pieces are really just toys; the strongest shogi is only equivalent to the Steel-Dirty Realm.
The words "Imperial Appreciation" on the back of the doll have been washed away.
Right where it was, the white piece had an additional "墨" character behind it, while the black piece had an additional "杨" character behind it.
When Mo Xinlian puts her mind to something, she thinks things through very thoroughly.
She simply continued to channel her magic.
These puppet soldiers' armor styles are still the same as they were a hundred years ago. She adjusted the armor and flags, and even made minor adjustments to the horse armor.
Thus, when the thirty-two chess pieces are placed back on the bed and the two armies face off, even Emperor Jinghe might not recognize them as his prized chess pieces.
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
The two had been busy all night. After putting away the chess pieces, they lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
early morning.
She Nu stood guard at the door.
Fu Hongying came over, full of questions.
She Nu whispered, "Your master's wife has arrived. Please come later."
Fu Hongying was full of questions. How did she end up with another master's wife? When she asked again, She Nu kept quiet and shook her head.
The two slept until noon before getting up.
Mo Xinlian opened her clothes wide and glared fiercely at Yang Silang.
Yang Silang loosened his grip and readily agreed.
After having She Nu bring in the meal, the two went into seclusion again to heal their injuries using the Twin Rings of Unity.
until night.
The woman's other injuries showed signs of improvement, but the clump of earth-elemental true energy residing in her spleen and stomach was particularly troublesome.
Mo Xinlian thought for a long time before asking Yang Silang.
"My lord, do you know that the five elements are mutually generating and mutually restraining?"
Yang Silang reacted quickly.
"You mean to use wood to counter earth?"
