Chapter 406 Thunder Drums to Defeat Demons
Last time, we talked about how Li Yi and the other two teamed up to finally solve the locust plague that ravaged Miaojiang. Although it cost a lot of money, it was also a great disaster. However, one wave of troubles has not yet subsided, and another wave has come. They were rescued by the Dongyi Guards and brought to Bozhou, and the demon army came to besiege the city. Next, let's see how Li Yi will deal with it.
Li Yilai found Yu Jiu on the city wall. He was standing on the parapet practicing martial arts while holding two 150-jin stone pillars. It was obvious that he had already adapted to the weight.
"Come down!"
Yu Jiu jumped to the top of the wall, put down the stone pillar and saluted, "Master, are you awake?"
Li Yi saw the strong bow that Yu Jiu was carrying and asked, "Is the bow adjusted?"
“It’s adjusted!”
"Then why didn't you practice?"
"Didn't the master say that I couldn't touch the bow until I was used to the three hundred jin stone pier?"
"Well, very good. But you can try to draw this bow now."
Yu Jiu took a deep breath and used all his strength, but he couldn't pull it open no matter how hard he tried.
Li Yi said, "I've said before that only a 500-jin bow can break the demon armor, and only Wei Jia in the Dongyi Guard can shoot a 500-jin bow. I have a lot of things to do, and I have to hurry to recover my combat power, so you should learn archery from Wei Jia first."
Yu Jiu nodded and said, "I understand. So how do you plan to deal with the three big monsters outside?"
"Wei Jia brought fifteen people with him, and two regular guards died in the first battle. I have ordered Wei Gui not to participate in the battle, so there are only twelve people left.
I plan to assign you to the Dongyi Guard, and let Guard A and Guard B each lead six people to hold back the two big monsters. I will kill one with all my strength first, and then deal with them one by one."
"When do you plan to take action, sir?"
"It depends on when Lan Ze can heal their injuries. What we lack most now is time. Xiang Tongtian will be here soon, so you have to practice as soon as possible. If you can't use a 500-jin bow, Wei Yi's team won't be able to threaten the big monster. You should know what this means."
Yu Jiu clenched his fists and said, "It's clear. If we can't use this bow, our team may not be able to come back."
"Don't be too pessimistic. Sometimes, if you don't push yourself, you really don't know how much potential you have. I was pushed by the way of heaven."
"I understand. Sir, please go and do your work. I will go to Wei Jia to ask for advice on the method of cultivation." After saying this, Yu Jiu flew away on his sword.
Li Yi leaned against the city wall and looked at the mountains and forests outside the city. Wei Yi quickly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Everything your Majesty wants me to prepare is ready."
"Go and have a look."
Li Yi followed Wei Yi to the city. According to Li Yi's request, all the drums in the city were brought over. There were hundreds of them, big and small. Li Yi picked out twelve big drums, twenty medium drums, and fifty small drums.
Wei Yi and the militiamen of Bozhou City didn't know what Li Yi was doing with these drums, and the people gathered around to watch. Li Yi took out the Panlong Brush and changed it to a suitable size. He used the righteousness and spiritual energy as ink to write and draw on these 82 drums. He wrote thunder beast seals and drew Kuilong patterns.
The people looked at the pattern on the drum and discussed it. Wei Yi asked, "Your Majesty, what is this painting?"
"Don't you recognize this? It's the Kuilong pattern!" Then Li Yi continued to draw the pattern and write the seal while explaining to him with a smile.
The Kuilong pattern originated from the ancient thunder beast Kui Niu, which is said to be shaped like a cow, without horns and one foot, with a sound like thunder, and is often accompanied by wind and rain when traveling, and has the light of the sun and moon. According to legend, when the Yellow Emperor fought with Chi You, he used the skin of the Kui Niu to make a drum and his leg bones to make a drumstick. The sound of the drum could be heard for hundreds of miles, enough to intimidate the enemy and conquer the world.
Wei Yi asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, are you making the Thunder Beast Drum?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "The one made by Huangdi with the hide of Kui cow is the magic weapon Thunder Beast Drum. It was taken away by Queen Tai'an as a musical instrument. I saw it when I was looking for musical instruments in Houtu Cave."
"Your Majesty has met Empress Tai'an?"
"Don't be envious, I was almost eaten by the queen!"
Hearing this, Wei Yi sighed.
Li Yi smiled and said, "But, Queen Tai'an is really beautiful, the kind of beauty that cannot be found with even a single flaw!"
Seeing that Li Yi was getting more and more nagging, Wei Yi quickly interrupted and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you draw this thunder beast seal and this Kuilong pattern?"
Li Yi collected his thoughts and said seriously: "Find someone to put the middle drum on the car, tie the small drum to the body with a rope, and then go to war with the monsters, beat the drums to cheer, and intimidate the monster army."
"Is this okay?"
"Can it work?" Li Yi laughed, reached out and picked up the drumstick, and first hit the middle drum that had not yet been painted with the Kuilong pattern and the thunder beast seal, and a dongdong sound came. Then he hit the painted middle drum again, boom boom boom boom!
This shocked everyone present. Li Yi said solemnly, "I used Confucian and Taoist magic and spiritual energy to paint the thunder beast seal and Kuilong pattern on the drum. How could it be useless! The demon race is formed by the cultivation of hundreds of beasts. The fear of thunder is engraved in their bones!
Find some strong men and I will teach them a drum song. Then we can fight the monster army. The sound of the eighty-two drums, big and small, will not only shock the monster army, but also boost our morale. What do you think we are fighting for? We are fighting for morale! When morale is high, we will dare to fight and what will we be afraid of from the monsters! "
Li Yi continued to draw patterns and write seals, while Wei Yi went to gather people who could play drums...
Switching the camera to Lan Ze, she got out of bed immediately after eating the porridge and regained some strength, and found Wei Jia accompanied by the Yang brothers and sisters. At this time, Wei Jia was teaching Yu Jiu how to expand the Qi channel, increase strength, and draw the strong bow.
"Miss Lan Ze, you haven't recovered yet, why are you here?"
"Your Lord asked me to heal the wounded Dongyi Guards. The war is imminent, and I'm afraid it won't work with injuries on my body."
Yu Jiu said, "Captain Wei, I can practice by myself. Please let Sister Lan Ze heal you and the other injured Dongyi Wei. Time is running out. The demon king Xiang Tongtian is on his way. He is a second-grade demon. We can't delay!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Jia immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "Miss Lan Ze, please follow me!"
Lan Ze treated the three people first. They all suffered internal injuries. Damage to the internal organs was the most difficult to treat. Fortunately, Lan Ze had his own method. According to the different damaged organs, he first fed different herbs to the silkworms, then controlled the silkworms to spit out silk threads, and then inserted the silk into the internal organs to act directly on the wound.
Weijia was dumbfounded by this set of operations. If it were now, he would have to like, follow and repost her post, all three in one click!
After showing it to the three people, it was already evening. Lan Ze also looked exhausted, but she said to Wei Jia: "It's time to show it to the captain next."
"I'll talk about it tomorrow. Miss Lan Ze just woke up and is still very weak. She's busy healing us and has consumed a lot of energy. You should take a rest."
Lan Ze pointed outside the house and said, "Do you hear the drums outside? Your Lord hasn't rested yet, so how can I slack off? So you better hurry up. I'll rest after I finish showing you, because I still have to heal the people in the city tomorrow."
Wei Jia had nothing to say but to obey. He reached out and took off his outer robe, revealing the shocking wound on his back. The flesh from his left rib to his waist and abdomen had been torn apart by a sharp weapon and forcibly stitched together with a needle. The technique was very rough, and it was obvious at first glance that it was done by an amateur.
Lan Ze took a deep breath and asked, "How many days have you been injured?"
Wei Jia replied: "Two days!"
Lan Ze said: "No, the wound has festered and needs to be treated again. It will be very painful. Can you bear it?"
Wei Jia smiled and said, "I didn't even cry out in pain when I was scratched by the tiger monster, so the pain from you treating the wound is nothing."
Lan Ze shook his head and said, "I will first use a knife to pry open these threads and open the wound. I will use the medicinal silkworms to eat your festering flesh and blood, and then use the silk threads they spit out to sew up the wound. I'd better find someone to seal your blood vessels or knock you out, otherwise you really can't bear it."
"It's okay! Miss Lan Ze, I can bear it, go ahead!" Wei Jia said and bit a branch.
Lan Ze sighed, took the knife from Yang Shuo, and cut off all the threads with one knife, revealing the wound that had not yet fully healed. With just this one move, Wei Jia's eyes were bloodshot and sweat was pouring down his forehead.
However, when Lan Ze placed four medicinal silkworms on the wound and let them drill into Wei Jia's body to eat the rotten flesh, Wei Jia bit off the branch and cried out! Li Yi suddenly appeared, stretched out his hand and touched Wei Jia's forehead, sealed his five senses with illusion, and then gave Lan Ze a look to continue, and the latter immediately continued to treat the wound.
Li Yi said to Yang Shuo: "Don't just grimacing, wipe your sweat!"
Yang Shuo reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Li Yi scolded: "I asked you to wipe your own sweat! You are so stupid! Wipe your sister's sweat, wipe Wei Jia's sweat!"
Yang Shuo said, "Oh," and reached out to wipe Lan Ze's sweat. Yang Di grabbed the scarf and said, "You wipe the guard, and I'll wipe my sister. Hurry up!"
Half an hour later, four medicinal silkworms emerged from Weijia's wound and began to spin silk. Lan Ze healed Weijia's wound while spinning the silk thread, and finally sewed the wound shut with the thread.
Another half an hour passed, and at the moment the silk thread was cut, Lan Ze's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she fainted. Fortunately, Li Yi hugged her in time.
"Wei Gui!"
Wei Gui immediately appeared at the door and saluted, "Your Majesty, are you calling me?"
"Look after Weijia! I'll take Lan Ze to rest!"
"Yes!"
With a swish, Li Yi disappeared, which stunned the Yang siblings. The two children immediately ran to Lan Ze's room. When they arrived, they found that Li Yi had already put Lan Ze on the bed and covered him with a quilt, so they went into the room to guard and look after Lan Ze.
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "You two brothers will sleep in my room tonight. Lan Ze is exhausted. I will stay with her tonight and use Buddhism to help her recover some of her mental strength."
Yang Shuo said seriously: "Then let's accompany the young master to guard Sister together!"
"I don't need you to accompany me. You two have worked hard all day. Go and rest!"
Yang Di replied: "Sir, we are not tired!"
"I'm not tired! You two are still young and growing, so stop talking nonsense and get going!"
“We’re really not tired!”
"Fuck, how come you two little brats are still so ignorant!"
Lan Ze suddenly reached out and pulled Li Yi's sleeve, saying, "Why are you being so mean to them? They care about me, too."
Li Yi immediately changed his tone and said gently, "Sorry for waking you up! Go to sleep and I will read the sutra to you. It will help you recover your mental strength."
"You just want to recite the sutra, I'm embarrassed to expose you!"
Li Yi said seriously: "Of course it's chanting! It can not only help you recover your spirit, but also help me recover the Dharma, killing two birds with one stone."
Lan Ze exhaled a breath of foul air and said to the Yang brothers and sisters: "You two should be obedient and go to his room to sleep. Let him take care of me."
Yang Shuo muttered quietly, "We have been sleeping with Sister these days. We are afraid we won't be able to sleep if we sleep alone."
Li Yi grabbed it casually, condensed his Qi and turned it into a cane, and said fiercely to the two children: "If you don't leave, believe it or not, I will beat you two!"
The Yang siblings were so frightened by Li Yi that they ran out of the room. Li Yi closed the door and shouted, "You two go to my room and sleep. If you dare to run around, I will break your legs!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of birds chirping in the house! Wei Bing appeared behind the two children, saluted and said, "I obey your orders!" Then he "escorted" the two children to Li Yi's room and forced them to sleep, or in other words, they fainted.
