Chapter 1515 The Final Battle, You Have Achieved Your Wish [2]
what?
Si Pei was stunned, wondering what help she could offer.
“Help me pass on the tools, Old Xun taught you that.” Jiang Dalang pulled Si Pei to the vicinity of the large box, and then said to Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, “Please prepare an incense table for the memorial service, we might need it.”
"Yes, yes, we need to prepare the offerings. Let's go get them right away." The two elders hurriedly went to get them ready.
The wind howled, whipping up the thin snow on the ground. Qin Xiaomi, clad in armor and wielding a wooden sword, had eyes as sharp as the gleam of a weapon and as resolute as an ancient cauldron. With a whoosh, she moved forward, stepping with a specific gait...
After walking countless steps and defining a specific area, she began to chant, "The straight line of heaven; the horizontal axis of earth..."
"Command flags arrayed, star paths re-established... Flags, come!"
Si Pei was stunned. It was Chief Steward Si who nudged him: "Young Master, this is the command flag that Elder Xun gave you."
"Oh, oh," Si Pei hurriedly handed the command flags to Qin Xiaomi.
Puff puff puff!
Qin Xiaomi held the command flag in one hand, used her inner strength to plant the small command flags one by one in the snow. After planting 108 flags, they formed a trigram array, but it was still not enough.
"Take the command flag again."
"That's all, Sister Qin. All 108 tubes have been used up."
“Use a military flag instead; one will suffice,” Qin Xiaomi said.
"Take this, the military flag of the Great Wei Mushan Weapon Workshop!" Jiang Dalang pulled up the military flag of the Weapon Workshop in front of the Mushan gate, ran over to this side, and stuffed it into Si Pei's hand.
Good weight!
The flag was as large as a square table, with an iron-clad flagpole. Si Peiyi, a young nobleman, struggled to carry it, but managed to hold it up. He handed it to Qin Xiaomi, saying, "It's very heavy, Sister Qin. Give me the wooden sword..."
With a whoosh, Qin Xiaomi snatched the military flag with one hand, spun around, and ran with the flag raised. With a thud, the military flag was deeply embedded in the command flag formation: "Ten Thousand Stars in Order!"
With a whoosh, she flicked her wrist, the wooden sword swirling in a gust of wind, and continued chanting: "The laws of heaven command, ensnaring the universe's Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji, opening the North and South Star Ruins, breaking the bonds of life and death... The will of the masses is the furnace, the desire of the masses is the fire, refining the void to fuse the ultimate power into a new heaven..."
"Use the Human Talisman as a catalyst..." Qin Xiaomi stepped into the array of command flags, pierced her palm with the tip of her wooden sword, and smeared the blood on the sword: "Ignite the Human Talisman!"
She opened her eyes, gazed at the sky, and after wielding a sword technique, the wooden sword suddenly stabbed towards the ground.
With a thud, he plunged the wooden sword heavily into the ground: "Heavenly power enters the formation, activate!"
Whoosh—the cold wind howled, as if a powerful force was sweeping outwards from within the command flag formation.
A moment later, Qin Xiaomi released her grip on the wooden sword, stood up, and looked up at the sky again with slightly reddened eyes. She took a deep breath and shouted three times, "Xun Gang, you have achieved your wish!"
Xun Gang was the name that Old Man Xun used the longest and was the only one he personally approved of.
"Xun Gang, you have achieved your wish!" Jiang Dalang shouted, glancing at the people around him.
Without needing to say more, many people shouted, "Xun Gang, you have achieved your wish!"
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, you have achieved your wish, waaaah!" Si Pei cried out, but fearing that this was not enough, he added Xun Lao's name.
"Master Xun Gang, your wish has come true! You have reunited with your master's wife and fellow disciples!" Elder Qiong also arrived. Upon learning the situation, he knelt down and shouted repeatedly.
Upon seeing this, students such as Yu Chenghao, Xue Mingyi, Li Zhiyuan, Qi Yucong, and Yang Zeru also joined in the shouting.
The crowd that had come upon hearing the news, as well as all the members of Mushan, also shouted.
For a time, the entire Mushan area was filled with the sound of "Xun Gang, you have achieved your wish."
Looking at the gray sky, Qin Xiaomi wondered to herself: Old man, is this enough to help you fulfill your wish?
That's enough, hahaha!
A familiar laugh echoed in her mind, and the sky, after a long period of darkness, began to clear.
In that bright, clear sky, a handsome young man, dressed in a wide-sleeved robe, carrying a three-year-old child and supporting a similarly young pregnant woman, looked in her direction… The gazes of this family, like scattered starlight, startled her. Tsk, the old man was quite a handsome man in his youth, not at all like the skinny old monkey he is now.
"Sister Qin, Sister Qin, so you really know how! Sister Qin, teach me!" Si Pei's swollen eyes shone brightly with golden light, looking like she was about to kneel down and kowtow to Qin Xiaomi to become her disciple.
"..." Qin Xiaomi was brought back to her senses by his noise, and turned her gaze from the empty sky to Si Pei, her face full of disgust.
Si Pei, having been trained, immediately said, "If I'm paid, I absolutely won't let Sister Qin teach me for nothing."
Everyone in the capital city knows Sister Qin's rules!
Qin Xiaomi: "Heh, fine, then cut off one of your arms now as payment."
what!
Si Pei was stunned.
Chief Steward Si was alarmed: "Master Qin, how could you take this opportunity to harm my young master?"
You must really be insane.
"Since your young master is so superstitious, he should pay a bloody price for it." Qin Xiaomi's face suddenly turned cold as she stared at Si Pei and questioned, "Elder Xun and Elder Qiong have always taught you not to be superstitious or supernatural, but you just can't learn it, can you? Then what qualifications do you have to be their grand-disciple? You might as well go into the mountains and become a savage, cultivating your so-called immortality!"
Yu Chenghao was stunned. "No way! You were just setting up a shamanistic ritual, spouting all sorts of supernatural nonsense, and now you're calling Si Pei a supernatural being? You're being unreasonable!"
Yu Chenghao was angry on Si Pei's behalf.
Si Pei cried again, but not for his shattered dream of seeking immortality. Instead, he asked, "If it's fake, then Sister Qin, is your command flag formation even useful? Has our master's long-cherished wish been fulfilled?"
Qin Xiaomi's expression softened slightly as she told him, "I did this according to his last wish because Elder Xun believed in this. As for whether it will work? Yes, because Xun Gang has already gotten what he wanted."
"Shut up! If you keep talking, you'll turn this perfectly good child into an idiot!" Lord Yan roared inwardly, glancing at the Prince of Ye: "Aren't you going to do anything about this as an elder?"
The King of Ye's eyes were red and filled with tears as he cried out, "Xun Gang, you have achieved your wish!"
Lord Yan wished he could kill himself on the spot... Three hundred thousand infected enemy troops are fiercely attacking the city, yet you are engaging in superstition within the city. If future generations knew about this, I, who worked with you, would be ridiculed!
"No need to record this, there's no need to document such things!" Lord Yan scolded Si Feng and Wen Xiangnan, cursing inwardly, "You two want all the credit!"
The two men stopped.
The King of Ye said, "This is a gesture by the younger generation to respectfully send off a meritorious elder. It is a great act of kindness in the world and should be recorded to be passed down to future generations."
Upon hearing this, the two immediately began taking notes.
Lord Yan shut up.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The sounds of siege continued unabated, and after this barrage...
Whoosh—!
Boom!
It was as if some huge object had collapsed, and the entire western city was shaken.
"The earth dragon has turned over! Quick, lie down!" Many people instinctively lay down.
"Go and investigate immediately, is there something wrong with the city wall?!" Jiang Dalang and Lord Yan roared.
Immediately, soldiers spurred their horses and galloped to the sentry post at the foot of the city wall steps, calling out to inquire.
Upon hearing this, the Wei soldiers guarding the sentry post shouted to the sentry post in the middle of the steps leading up to the city wall—the Wei soldiers guarding the middle of the steps shouted back to the city wall—and the Wei soldiers guarding the city wall shouted back to the sentry post behind them.
Half an hour later, a reply was received: "The enemy's heavy fire and stones have collapsed the repaired city wall, with a section of the wall up to six meters long collapsing!"
Because it was a secondary collapse, the collapsed area was larger.
but……
"The foundation of the city wall is still there, so it does not affect the overall city wall. The two vice commissioners of Pingjiang have instructed that the people inside the city need not worry. With gunpowder, a powerful long-range weapon, the enemy cannot cross the moat or reach the city wall. Let the people inside the city continue to live their lives!"
