Chapter 163: The Clouds Are Turbulent

On the same day, Yunzhou City was breached. After slaughtering and looting the city, the barbarian army went directly south, and then collided with tens of thousands of imperial troops guarding the capital.

In the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the capital, Emperor Pingyu was still holding a sacrificial ceremony at this time.

In addition to the tablets of previous emperors, there are three majestic golden statues in the Ancestral Temple. These three statues represent the three founding saints of Daxia.

There are various sacrifices placed on the table in front of the three saints, including five animals and three animals. The relics of the saints and the incense burner for worshiping the gods are also among them.

In front of the altar table, Emperor Pingyu knelt on the futon, holding three gilt dragon-painted incense sticks, and kept prostrating and praying to the statues of the three saints.

The same goes for the hundreds of civil and military officials behind him, but the incense in their hands looks much more ordinary.

"The saint is above, the barbarians are marching south, and Daxia is in danger. Please come down!"

"The saint is above, the barbarians are marching south, and Daxia is in danger. Please come down!"

"..."

However, no matter how sincere they were and how respectful their expressions were, the three golden statues remained indifferent!

War raged outside the capital, with corpses strewn across the fields. A large number of soldiers fought for their lives on the city walls, and soldiers were bathed in blood.

The doors of every household in the capital were closed, and those who had the ability and conditions had hid in cellars and darkrooms; but those who were truly capable had long since fled the capital through various means and gone south.

Only the palace is still offering sacrifices to the saints, praying for a miracle to come!

At the junction of Linzhou and Mingzhou, the two armies were facing each other from a distance, but neither of them took action yet. Both sides seemed to be waiting for something.

At this time, Li Yanbing was discussing the current situation with Jiao Yong in the military camp in Linzhou.

"The capital city is about to end. If the saint doesn't take action, it's impossible to stop the wolf-like barbarian army with the rotten imperial army!"

"What happened to those three saints? There has been no news since the saints' handwriting was issued!"

"The Xiang Temple must be involved behind this, and maybe other saints are involved!"

"..."

Li Yanbing has now prepared for the worst. She has brought her parents and some members of the clan to Jiangzhou, and now she has no worries.

"May I ask, sir, what news can you reveal about the senior Monkey King?"

When Jiao Yong heard what Li Yanbing said, he couldn't help but ask Li Yanbing.

"No, Senior Monkey King doesn't care about external affairs, but this time he gave me such powerful paper soldiers and soldiers, I'm afraid he has anticipated what will happen in advance."

Li Yanbing shook his head, and then simply said to them.

"That's true. I still can't figure out how to make soldiers who are comparable to real people and generals who are comparable to real people!"

Jiao Yong is still a little shocked by Li Yanbing's new group of soldiers.

The strength of the original heavy-armored paper men was terrifying enough, but now the strength of this group of soldiers is exaggerated.

If this were not the case, they might still be worried about how they should respond to King Li's army approaching the border.

Nowadays, King Li's power has far exceeded the territory of Mingzhou. Several surrounding states and even more distant Liuzhou have now become King Li's territory under the organization of Xiangmiao.

What's even more terrifying is that these places not only have little resistance to surrendering to King Li, but instead welcome him as if King Li is the real emperor of Daxia!

"Report!"

Suddenly, a soldier hurried into the camp and shouted to them: "The Liuzhou ghost soldiers have gone north and have begun to clash with our troops guarding the border!"

"Explore again!"

"yes!"

Li Yanbing's face darkened slightly when he heard the news, and then returned to normal.

"Tian Qiang has a thousand heavy-armored paper figures in his hands, including hundreds of heavy-armored paper figures that are comparable to real people. The remaining ghost soldiers cannot defeat him!"

Jiao Yong analyzed with a slightly solemn expression that Tian Qiang is now guarding the southern part of Linzhou, and he is guarding the western part of Linzhou.

"I'm just afraid that the patriarchs from Xiang Temple will take action!"

Li Yanbing looked a little solemn. She was not worried that the ordinary army could defeat the powerful heavily armored paper man, but Tian Qiang lacked the power to restrain the powerful.

"I have already given him the invitation talisman in my hand. If things change, he should be able to hold on for a while. Then I'm afraid we will have to rush to support him immediately."

Jiao Yong was also a little anxious when it came to this issue, but right now there was only one paper general, and they had too many places to defend.

"With the Divine Invitation Talisman given by Senior Monkey King, ordinary Divine Catchers can temporarily gain power comparable to that of Ligui. In addition, a thousand heavy-armored paper figures cannot be easily solved even by a supreme master!"

Having said this, Jiao Yong felt more or less confident. At least this time, he was not helpless in the face of the Ancestral God Picture like last time.

"Always pay attention to the movement over there. If there is any situation, I will immediately ask the paper general to go to support!"

"yes!"

Li Yanbing had nothing to do about this, after all, she only had a paper general in her hands.

"Sasha~"

In the wooden house, Lin Feng was carefully carving a piece of black jade. It was not easy to turn the black jade into a talisman.

Now ordinary yellow talismans can be made by Shu Shugui, but making higher-level jade talismans is not possible.

The black jade material is hard and delicate, so you need to use a carving knife to carve out the head, gall and foot of the talisman piece by piece.

If you use too much force, the black jade will be broken directly. If you use too little force, the traces left will be too shallow and time-consuming.

So the paper man can't help him with this work, he can only carve it slowly by himself.

"Now the carving skills are becoming more and more proficient."

Looking at the large amount of debris falling under his carving knife, Lin Feng was a little emotional. He made a lot of mistakes at the beginning, but now he can easily write freely. It can be said that he has made great progress.

Of course, the most important thing is that some of the corpses he buried provided him with a lot of carving skills.

What wood carving, stone carving, jade carving and other crafts, he didn't have many opportunities to practice before, but now as time goes by, he can be regarded as truly mastering these skills.

"Hu~"

Blow away the debris and dust on the surface of the black jade talisman, and a talisman base that looks full of mystery and weirdness is completed.

Next, he needs to fill the dark gold he got into the dents of the carved talisman little by little, and then use the weird power of the Monkey King to completely fuse the black jade and dark gold to be considered final.

At that time, he will make the highest level of black jade and dark gold summoning talisman!

Gently put the carved black jade talisman base on the table. There are now almost five identical black jade talisman bases, and most of the others are waste products that failed to carve.

"The success rate is still too low, it's easier to fail than drawing talismans!"

Looking at the pile of broken or distorted black jade talisman bases in the basket at his feet, Lin Feng felt tired.

"No, I must find a way to let the paper man or the ghost help me finish it!"

Looking at these waste products, Lin Feng's laziness came back, so he took out a piece of white paper and started drawing on it.

"The paper man can't control the weight when he moves, so just don't let the paper man do it directly, but use tools..."

As he started to work, a strange-looking device gradually took shape, which looked a bit like a drilling machine.
