Lin Guang shot as he retreated, pondering over the characteristics of the white-clothed ghosts.
At the same time, Ha Tu had already escaped to the outer wall. Seeing the blood-soaked ground, dozens of soldiers ran out madly, abandoning their helmets and armor.
Baihu Qian heard his cry for help and immediately broke through the wall with his men, determined to raze the place to the ground.
This naturally attracted a large number of white-clothed ghosts, which then led to a massacre.
The white-clothed ghost rushed into the crowd like a harvester.
Countless heads flew as blood spurted out. This group of barbaric soldiers had no way to retaliate in front of the white-clothed ghosts.
"Three Character Classic! Think of the Three Character Classic! You can hit them! "Ha Tu rushed to the main entrance and shouted.
Among the crowd, there was someone familiar with the Three Character Classic. With a swing of his sword, he really hit the ghosts.
Then, he looked blankly at the creased white-clothed ghosts and was instantly beheaded.
"Use your strength! Use your strength! You only have one chance. Where are the ballistas? Use the heavy crossbows! "Ha Tu commanded.
Baihu Qian watched as his subordinates died. He pulled Ha Tu and exclaimed, "What the hell is this!"
"Ghost! Just treat it as a ghost! Use the heavy crossbows to shoot it! Remember to use the Three Character Classic to consecrate it. Just think of it in your heart. The Three Character Classic will bestow power to the weapon and can harm the ghost! "Ha Tu shouted.
Everyone was panicking and anxious. Hearing this, their mentality exploded.
Use the Three Character Classic to consecrate it? Would that work?
But it was still worth a try.
"Tustle!"
Two thick crossbow bolts flew out and hit the same white-clothed ghost.
The crossbow bolts were sent flying as if they had hit an iron wall, leaving two marks on the white clothed ghosts.
It was good that Ha Tu thought of this, but he realized that even if he hit the ghosts, what was the use of having creased them?
This could neither repel nor kill the target. It looked like it could cause damage, but it was actually useless.
Whether it was a sword, a spear, or a heavy crossbow, there was no difference in power.
Perhaps, even if he used a stone to smash it, the result would be the same.
"How can this be … Right, Lin Guang said that the higher the understanding, the greater the power," Ha Tu muttered.
"It's useless!" Baihu Qian's legs trembled as he tried to leave. When he found out that it was a ghost, he wanted to run. But when he saw that Ha Tu's so-called 'Three Character Classic Opening Crossbow' didn't kill a single ghost, he lost even more of his will to fight.
If this ghost couldn't be killed, then what was the point of fighting it?
"These Qiu Ba are useless, we need scholars! Where is your document? "Hattu pulled Baihu Qian and roared.
"Elementary Scholar! Scholar Cai, get your ass over here! "Baihu Qian saw the scholar lying in the grass and immediately pulled him out.
Ha Tu roared, "How's your learning of the Three Character Classic?"
"He could recite it backwards at the age of ten," the secretary said.
"Shoot it! Hit it hard! "Hattu stuffed the crossbow into the clerk's hand, letting him think about the full text of the Three Character Classic and its various meanings.
The secretary swallowed his saliva and fired his crossbow.
Even though it was his first time using a crossbow, the ghosts were only a few meters away, and they were standing close to each other. With a casual shot, he hit one right in the middle.
"Clump!" The white-clothed figure calmly advanced, leaving a mark on its body that was even more powerful than Lin Guang's spear strike.
"It is indeed powerful … My ass! What's the use of this! What's the use of this! "Hattu was about to go crazy, he stomped his feet and shouted.
Even though the secretary only had the title of Elementary Scholar, the Three Character Classic was a Meng script, and there was not much difference between Elementary Scholar and Zhuangyuan in their understanding of it.
Judging from the mark, it was more powerful than Lin Guang's, but that was it.
It was nothing more than a bigger wrinkle, it couldn't change the situation at all.
The soldiers didn't want to stay and die. Seeing that the white-clothed figure had gone crazy, killing people in a single move, they all ran out of the village.
However, the white-clothed figure unexpectedly followed them out, chasing after them and killing them.
"What!"
Hattu grabbed his hair. He thought that the reason the scholar was able to escape was because the ghosts couldn't leave Liu Village.
But he didn't expect that it was just a coincidence that the ghosts didn't come out before.
"This, this …" Hattu suddenly realized that this was no longer a problem of how to get the anomalies for the Great Khan, but a problem of how to clean up the mess. If these ghosts chased them to Yangzhou city, what would happen?
"I know, we need more people! We need more people! "Hattu said:" Let all the scholars pick up their weapons, only then can we kill them! "
"Go to hell!" Baihu Qian didn't want to accompany him, he directly got on a horse and fled.
At this time, no official could help him.
His subordinates were almost all dead. It hadn't been long, and only a dozen people were left.
Meanwhile, more and more white-clothed figures came out of the manor and spread out in all directions. Their range of influence seemed to have increased.
They had already begun to harm the tenant farmers around Liu Village!
Baihu Qian rode away, but most people still couldn't outrun the white-clothed figures.
Especially the nearby tenant farmers, they had worked all day and went to bed early at night.
A white-clothed figure suddenly drilled out of the wall and beheaded them, they didn't know why.
"The hunting range has increased, they are growing …"
"Don't let them go!" Lin Guang also stumbled out of Liu Village.
He moved like a snake, avoiding all the white-clothed figures, and at the same time attracting their attention.
He didn't have the slightest intention of running away, but instead led the ghosts back.
"The Three Character Classic is useless! Change to another book! "Lin Guang shouted and threw out a sachet.
Previously, Lin Guang had been studying how the Three Character Classic could stall the white-clothed figures, but he found it impossible.
First of all, regardless of whether he was an expert in the Three Character Classic or a repeater, he couldn't do anything to the ghosts.
The wrinkles on it seemed to be a 'demonstration animation', and the ghosts would continue to chase after him. It couldn't be used to stop them.
Therefore, he tested the correct way to use the Three Character Classic alone, and the result was that the Three Character Classic was useless!
At first, Lin Guang had the same thought as Hattu, that this was a way to deal with ghosts, but after careful testing, he found that it was wrong.
What was the point of making a few wrinkles?
Therefore, he changed to the 'Analects of Confucius', and the result was that it was also effective!
"Damn it!"
"I was misled! Other books would work too! "
Lin Guang took this opportunity to have more 'ammunition' to use and escape.
Perhaps this was how Scholar Liu He managed to escape. However, in the end, he only remembered one line of the Three Character Classic. As for the rest of the scriptures, he had completely forgotten them.
Fear, despair, the death of his beloved, and a series of blows. Coupled with the fact that he had completely forgotten the principles and even the books he had read since he was a child, how could the scholar not go crazy and become an idiot?
"What's this?" Hattu asked after receiving the sachet.
"Our men will arrive soon, and I will lure them back. Don't go too far! "Lin Guang said and rushed back into Liujia Village.
"Brave warrior!" Hattu couldn't help but exclaim.
Compared to Baihu Qian, Lin Guang didn't run away even though he had several opportunities. He was determined to deal with the ghosts here.
He alone attracted more than fifty white-clothed figures and brought them back to Liujia Village.
"Other books would work too?" Hattu shot a crossbow and thought about the Lamaism scriptures that he had memorized. He believed in Buddhism, and it was funny that most Mongolians believed in Buddhism.
"Xiu!" The crossbow arrow directly pierced through the white-clothed figures.
"This Buddhism is useless … … Scholar, you do it!"
Hattu pulled back the secretary, who also wanted to run, and ordered him to shoot.
"Where are the books that you have read? They will come in handy this time! Shoot it! Use the principles that Confucius taught you! "Hattu said.
The secretary swallowed his saliva and shot an arrow. This arrow hit the white-clothed figures and left a bigger mark than the Three Character Classic.
"Eh?" The secretary straightened his back.
"It really works! That something can hit ghosts! "
The reason why he said 'that something' was because he had forgotten which book he had 'consumed' just now.
However, even an idiot could see that even an army of a million wouldn't be as powerful as his arrow!
"I see! I see! The Arrow of the Middle! "The secretary's fearful expression disappeared as he straightened his back and his eyes shone.
Another arrow was shot, and this time, it left a bigger mark on the white-clothed figures.
"Continue! Continue! "Hattu waved his fist at the side.
"Even ghosts are afraid of the Sage's principles. I cultivate my righteousness, and even ghosts and deities will avoid me!" The secretary roared.
He shot another arrow from Mencius, and another huge crease appeared on the white-clothed figures.
"… … Is that so? But why don't they die! "Hattu stopped laughing.
The secretary's attacks didn't stop the ghosts at all. More and more white-clothed figures surrounded them.
What was the use of hitting them?
Hattu's face was filled with despair. He deeply realized how terrifying the thing that the Khan was looking for was.
This thing could really bring about the end of the world, and it wouldn't be so gentle every time.
"Run!" Hattu didn't want to be entangled with these ghosts anymore. He turned around and wanted to leave.
However, he suddenly saw white-clothed figures emerging from the ground behind him!
"They can even surround us?" Hattu's face was filled with despair. He couldn't run away anymore. He raised his knife and wanted to stab his own head.
The number of white-clothed figures kept increasing. It seemed that the more people they killed, the more companions they could create.
Hattu didn't want to become one of them!
Swoosh!
Just as he was about to commit suicide, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared on his palm and knocked away the knife in his right hand.
He was holding a sachet in his left hand. There was a blue and white mark on it that resembled an eye. There was also a number at the bottom: 72.
This beautiful figure suddenly stepped on the sachet.
"A God?" Hattu was stunned. He then realized that this was the backup that Lin Guang mentioned. He didn't expect it to appear like this.
The beautiful woman was wearing strange clothes. The moment she appeared, she sent the two flying. Hattu and the secretary rolled for nearly ten meters and escaped danger.
Hattu hurriedly got up and saw that after the woman saved them, she didn't have time to dodge or counterattack. She was surrounded by white-clothed figures.
The place where she appeared was too bad!
The woman only had time to make a jumping action. Her body seemed to jump up into the sky as she stepped on air.
However, at the same time, her head was separated from her body.
Splat! Blood splattered three feet from her headless body.
