Chapter 604 The World in the Palm of Your Hand

Cleaning the battlefield, on the one hand, for the discarded weapons and equipment.

Needless to say, throwing away one's helmet and armor, when ordinary soldiers are fleeing, they cannot escape at all if they are wearing armor.

Even the vine armor will affect the action to a certain extent.

Of course it's going to be lost.

Will it endanger the enemy? People are about to die and we are still thinking about this?

As for weapons, most of them are long weapons used on the battlefield. Once defeated, they will basically be thrown away. The same goes for shields. These weapons are either big or heavy and are not conducive to escape.

Only short swords and knives have little effect.

However, ordinary soldiers do not know how to wear swords and knives at all, and the only ones who can carry them are generals.

Swords and weapons were of little use on the battlefield.

The three Liu Bei brothers do have swords in case of emergencies, and they have never unsheathed them until now.

Liu Bei's special weapon, the double-pronged sword, has never been unsheathed.

The long-handled hammer seized from Deng Mao and Cheng Zhiyuan is now used.

For charging on the battlefield, it is better to use long weapons.

However, if there is a duel before the formation, Liu Bei will use his double-pronged sword.

But he has two younger brothers who are more powerful than him, so he doesn't have much chance.

In addition to recovering equipment, there is another important reason for cleaning the battlefield, which is to clean up the corpses.

The accumulation of corpses on the battlefield can easily form ghouls.

What is a ghoul? It is a monster born from the pile of dead people, similar to a wild dog.

But more dangerous than wild dogs.

Generally speaking, wild dogs will only devour corpses. If people don't mess with them, they won't mess with people either - unless there are no corpses to eat and they are starving.

But ghouls are different. They are full of aggression and can easily hurt people.

The Yellow Turban thieves don't care, the court should.

Qingzhou City is an important place, and corpses cannot appear outside the city.

A large number of corpses were piled up and set on fire.

For now, this is the best way, and there is no extra energy to dig holes and bury them.

Moreover, in places like mass graves, if too many corpses are buried at once, it is easy for ghouls to appear, but the probability of them appearing is not as high as on an unattended battlefield.

"Gu Gu Gu——"

"Gu Gu Gu——"

The cries of dead birds kept coming from the sky, and even flames and people walking and carrying could not disperse them.

Night sky.

A large number of dead birds were circling, unwilling to leave, and coming down from time to time to peck at the corpses.

The dead bird naturally feeds on corpses, whether it is flesh, blood, hair, or even bones.

They have no interest in strangers and will fly away when someone tries to drive them away.

Otherwise, with its power that can break bones, it would be another huge threat to ordinary people.

Because there are certain dangers in clearing the battlefield.

In addition to some soldiers, there are usually military commanders on duty.

At the moment, Xia Yanzhen, Tiamat, and Zhang Fei are in charge.

Originally, it was not their turn to do the job of sweeping the battlefield, but Xia Yan really wanted to come and take a look, so she left it to him.

During this period, compliments such as "Taoist Master Gao Yi" were naturally indispensable.

However, Xia Yanzhen has not received any substantive benefits for the time being, except for insignificant compliments from his several great victories.

On the contrary, Liu Bei, as the main recipient of military exploits, was reported to Zou Jing, and he is expected to have an official position in the future.

Daochang Xia is from outside the country, and now is the chaotic world caused by the Taiping Demon Dao.

It's not easy to write a letter explaining his contribution.

Fortunately, Daochang Xia doesn't care much about this.

Liu Bei told Zou Jing on behalf of Xia Yanzhen that Xia Yanzhen only came to pacify the Yellow Turban bandits and eliminate the Taiping Road.

Ask for nothing else.

Liu Bei also added some of his own understanding, such as orthodox disputes and so on.

Xia Yanzhen doesn't need those things. He just needs to influence the imperial army to defeat the Yellow Turban Army and promote the historical process.

With his current status, he can obviously do it.

Not to mention Liu Bei, after the day's battle, Xia Yanzhen now tells Zou Jing to fight wherever he wants, and Zou Jing will fight wherever he wants.

This is not a fierce man who can break the formation alone.

But in the true sense, with one enemy against ten thousand, one person can kill 70,000 to 80,000 Yellow Turban thieves and defeat them.

In the end, only one Qu Shuai (Guan Hai) escaped.

Not to break the formation, but to break the army!

Such a terrifying peerless general was willing to kill the Yellow Turban Army under his command, so Zou Jing would naturally support him.

After the Yellow Turban Army's several great victories, the imperial court attached great importance to it. Various government orders were issued, releasing military power, and calling on all powerful families to unite to deal with the Yellow Turban Army.

I don’t know how many people will rise because of this, so why isn’t I, Zou Jing, among them?

If I win over the three brothers Liu Bei (a disciple of Lu Zhi) (a super strong general) and Daochang Xia (a peerless general), won't I, Zou Jing, soar to the sky?

In Zou Jing's eyes, Xia Yanzhen is now equivalent to Zhuge Liang who Liu Bei just visited the thatched cottage three times to invite him out of the mountain.

Whether there is a position or not is a side issue.

Zou Jing's attitude towards Xia Yanzhen made Liu Bei feel a little threatened - of course he also wanted to take Taoist Xia for his own use.

Everyone wants talent.

However, Liu Bei had a vague feeling that this Priest Xia Shi was not someone who had lived under others for a long time.

The future will either drift away and return to the leisurely Kunlun, or...

So, let’s just be gentlemen for now.

Back to business, back to the battlefield.

Xia Yanzhen and the other three walked casually, with the muddy ground under their feet made not of water but of blood.

The smell of blood is strong.

"Daozhang Xia, do you Taoists know how to use lightning?" Zhang Fei asked, "I heard that Zhang Jiao's demon can make wind, rain, lightning and thunder."

"I can't." Xia Yanzhen said.

"What about the Taiping Demon Daoist Association?"

"Maybe." Xia Yanzhen said, "The Tao I cultivate is different from the Taiping Tao. I don't know what the great sage master cultivated. Since there are rumors, it is probably true."

Zhang Fei asked curiously: "Daozhang Xia, what kind of Tao do you practice?"

"Prove the Tao with force." Xia Yanzhen said.

Zhang Fei showed a stunned expression, no wonder he couldn't beat him at all.

He didn't think the way of "proving the Tao with force" was strange. After the day's battle, he asked Daoist Xia to borrow the terrifying weapon formed by Taoism - Qingyun.

This weapon, which looks like a spear but not a spear, looks like a halberd but not a halberd, and has the feel of a three-pointed two-edged sword, is quite heavy.

Zhang Fei can pick him up and wave him.

But if you want to use it as a portable weapon like Daochang Xia, it will be beyond your capabilities.

This is not force. What is force?

The way to strength!

Zhang Fei understands.

"Ah! The ghoul, the ghoul appears!"

Suddenly, a shout came from the front.

A ghoul appears.

Xia Yanzhen and the others dared to go that way without saying a word.

The wights are devouring corpses.

The surrounding soldiers held torches and did not dare to approach. After seeing Xia Yanzhen and the others arriving, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this the ghoul?" Zhang Fei knew about the existence of the ghoul, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.

The corpse in front of me looks no different from ordinary people at first glance.

It was formed by a corpse standing up, and now it was feasting on the corpses that were piled up and ready to be set on fire.

But the way it eats is not with its mouth.

The wight lay on the pile of corpses.

A large erect mouth opened on the chest, sharp teeth sprouted from the mouth, and with a casual roll of the tongue, the body was swept away and swallowed whole.

Eating is silent and extremely fast.

In just a few seconds, most of the piled up corpses were gone.

The corpse also swelled. Only his body swelled, while his limbs and head remained at their original size.

The swollen body was like a ball, growing a lot of fat.

Corpse oil even leaked out, and a stench filled the place.

The soldiers around him suddenly vomited, vomiting their entire stomachs.

They knelt on the ground, as if they were vomiting out their souls, without even the strength to move.

"drink!"

Zhang Fei shouted loudly, "Monster, Grandpa Zhang will die for you!"

Along with his roar, the eight-foot-long snake spear moved like thunder and instantly penetrated the corpse, leaving a terrifying penetrating wound on its body that almost occupied one-third of its chest.

The upright mouth was also smashed, and the sharp teeth turned into pieces and fell off.

After landing, it turned into black energy and dissipated.

Once the move was successful, Zhang Fei didn't stop and stabbed with his spear, directly beating the corpse to pieces.

After being broken to a certain extent, the corpse completely turned into black smoke and dissipated invisible.

Zhang Fei shook the snake spear eight feet long, shaking off the dirt on it, then looked at the spearhead with some distress, and then looked at Xia Yanzhen resentfully.

The gap on the spearhead is still there, and it is difficult to repair it.

"gone."

Xia Yanzhen ignored Zhang Fei's gaze, waved his hand, turned around and left.

"Leaving now?"

"Well, my Taoist boy Xiaohong is guarding it with you. If you are tired, just leave it to him." Xia Yanzhen said.

He came just to see what a wight was.

Now that I have seen it and I know it well, I won’t keep it anymore.

The ghoul is stronger than the wild dog, but it is also limited. To ordinary people, it is definitely a terrifying monster.

Against soldiers with names and surnames in the Three Kingdoms who are not very useful - except for Zhang Fei, they are not a threat.

As strong as Zhang Fei, killing ghosts is as easy as picking out objects from a bag.

Just leave the job of guarding against the wights to Tiamat. With its strength, with one breath of the dragon's breath, the wights will be theirs.

"can you?"

Zhang Fei looked away from the back of Xia Yanzhen who left gracefully and looked at Tiamat.

Tiamat said nothing. With a wave of her hand, a stream of psionic energy flew out and dispersed. The corpses scattered around suddenly turned into ashes.

"That's right, you are a Taoist boy and can also teach the Dharma, so I'll leave it to you."

Zhang Fei yawned and left.

Since Daochang Xia's Taoist boy is also good, he won't stay still.

Inside Qingzhou City.

Xia Yanzhen did not sleep, but stood in the temporary weapons warehouse in the Qingzhou military camp.

Next to him was Zou Jing: "Director Xia, these are the evil tricks of Taiping Dao monsters."

In front of me are several wooden boxes with bamboo tubes inside.

It was the thing used to throw Xia Yanzhen during the day and emit poisonous gas.

"It's interesting." Xia Yanzhen squatted down and took out a bamboo tube. This thing was a prop.

【Poison chimney】

[Made in Taipingdao, it will explode on its own after being hit by an external force, releasing poisonous smoke that can be fatal. 】

[Please use it upwind, otherwise you may poison yourself. 】

"Give these to me. Evil things from Taiping Dao should not be born." Xia Yanzhen said after putting them down.

"Uh... ok."

Zou Jing hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

He has the absolute right to dispose of these trophies, and the Qingzhou prefect will not fight for them.

Although these gadgets are very useful and can be used as battlefield weapons, compared with Xia Daochang, they are nothing but bullshit.

Not to mention only three or four boxes, even if there were thirty or forty boxes, Zou Jing would not even frown.

If Daochang Xia wants it, give it to him, no matter what!

Xia Yanzhen reached out and put these poisonous chimneys into the imprinted space.

"Taoist Master, what kind of Taoist method is this!" Zou Jing almost jumped up.

"The universe is in the palm of your hand." Xia Yanzhen said after thinking about it.

"Can it store everything?"

"Of course not, it's just to store some gadgets."

"Is the food and grass okay?" Zou Jing asked cautiously.

"Can."

"Taoist Priest!"

Zou Jing took a step back, lifted up the hem of his clothes, bowed his head and said, "Jing has been wandering for the rest of his life... No, Taoist Master! Please use this method to collect food and grass, and help Jing to destroy the Yellow Turban Bandits!"

In excitement, he almost said Lu Bu's famous saying.

"OK."
