Chapter 53: Sacrifice
"Lord." When Lu Bu returned to the camp, Zhang Liao had already begun to arrange people to prepare to worship the Dragon King of Huai River. When he saw Lu Bu coming back safely, he felt relieved and did not ask whether he was safe. He had followed Lu Bu for many years, even if there was something wrong, Lu Bu would probably not say it.
Lu Bu nodded. This victory was directly given to the five hundred years of Taoist practice, which was more than the one who killed Wei Hu. The first killing of Wei Hu was combined with the power of Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others to kill Wei Hu directly from the general Wei Hu, and the contribution was not to Lu Bu alone.
However, this time, Mu Yun and the tortoise shell gods were the ones who were alone. Unconsciously, Lu Bu's strength had been improved to an extremely high level.
"After the sacrifice, if there is nothing to do, order the soldiers to cross the river. This battle needs to be decided quickly!" Lu Bu nodded and looked at the soldiers who were placing the offerings by the river.
Although he defeated Mu Yun, the strongest thing about Mu Yun was obviously not close combat. Lu Bu didn’t know how Mu Yun would choose for Jie Sect?
If he chose to retire, although Lu Bu would be disappointed, the result would be pretty good. What he feared most was that he decided to convert to Buddhism!
If he had to set up some formation, Lu Bu would be completely helpless.
So before Mu Yun makes a decision, end the war first, so Mu Yun has no reason to continue taking action.
But here in Huai River, I hope the Dragon King of Huai River will not cause trouble again. Lu Bu really doesn’t want to make a grudge with the dragon clan now.
"The last general understands." Zhang Liao nodded. Resolving the battle in Guangling as soon as possible was the most important thing for Lu Bu's side at the moment. As the main general of this battle, he was more urgent to win than Lu Bu.
The development of many things in the world often goes against people's wishes, just like now, the more Lü Bu is unwilling to have a conflict with the Dragon King of Huai River, the easier it is to come to him.
The soldiers had just set up an altar by the river, and placed three animals to worship the Dragon King. However, they saw that the river water, which was originally calm, suddenly became turbulent. Without any warning, a wave was rolled up to make food on the altar on the river bank. Two other soldiers were almost swept into the river. Fortunately, Lu Bu rescued the person in front of him.
"Master, this..." Looking at this scene, Zhang Liao suddenly fell down.
"Go to the river." Lu Bu came to the river and looked at the overturned offering, his face sinking like water.
"Here~" Although the soldiers were afraid, Lu Bu brought them a lot of courage directly by the riverside, and now he put the offerings back on the ground. This time, Zhang Liao led the generals in the army to preside over the presidency, but before everyone could finish the sacrifice, another hurricane was swept up by the riverside, and the offerings were flew away directly. If Lu Bu had not stabilized everyone with his magic power, Zhang Liao and the others would have been swept away.
"Go for sacrifice!" Lu Bu ignored the uneasy expressions of the crowd, strode to the altar, personally took the offerings sent by the soldiers and placed them on the altar, and took three animals and six animals to serve them.
"Today, I, the former general of the Han Dynasty and the governor of Xuzhou, wanted to quell the rebellion and use the Huai River. I hope the Dragon King can open up a path and allow my soldiers to cross the river!" Lu Bu saluted a half-hearted salute to the altar. Compared with ordinary sacrifices, Lu Bu's actions were quite disrespectful.
Sure enough, as Lu Bu finished speaking, stormy waves suddenly rolled up above the river surface, and the boundless river water turned into huge waves and shot towards Lu Bu.
Seeing this, the generals looked pale. After such a huge wave, they didn't even have a chance to escape.
"Protect the lord!" Several generals rushed to Lu Bu instinctively.
"Stop!" Lu Bu looked up and looked at the huge waves that were covered with the sky. His quiet face gradually became gloomy. A pearl emitting a blue halo quietly suspended in front of Lu Bu.
The huge wave, with Lu Bu's shout, seemed to have encountered some invisible barrier, shattered into countless water splashes in the air, turning into pouring rain and falling.
"Where is the Dragon King of Huai River? Can you show up and see him?" Lu Bu looked at the river surface that was gradually calming down, circulating his magic power, sinking his energy into the dantian. When he opened his mouth, it seemed as if only his voice was left in the world.
The river level was quiet and there was no response to Lu Bu's words.
"Lord, why not let me take a detour?" a general whispered.
Go around? Where to go? To attack Guangling, the Huai River cannot be avoided, which is different from the Si River.
Since the Dragon King of Huai River does not allow it, he can only build a bridge when encountering water.
At the same time, under the water, a majestic man looked at Lu Bu's expression on the river surface, ignored it, turned his head and looked at the bald little shaman beside him and said, "I have blocked the way Lu Bu, little monk, please bring me what I promised to bring."
"No hurry." The little shaky monk was naturally Hui'an. He shook his head and said, "With the little monk's understanding of Lu Bu, he may not give up so much."
"That's also the matter later. If you take your benefits, I will stop Lu Bu from crossing the river and bring the peaches first." The man was Ao Shang, the Dragon King of Huai River. This time, he was invited by Hui'an to block Lu Bu from crossing the river.
However, unlike Di Lie at the beginning, Ao Han was quite strong in the face of Buddhism, and at least he would not be stunned by the other party's words. He agreed to take action only for Pan Tao. He would not buy Hui'an's argument.
"Dragon King, this is what my family venerable wants!" Hui'an frowned.
"Venice?" Ao Shang said disdainfully, "If you are happy that the Buddha has arrived, I will give him some face. You are just a boy in front of the Buddha. What qualifications are there to support me? Do you think I am trying to make things difficult for the princes of this human race, and are you afraid of your Lingshan? How can Lingshan have the momentum of today? Others don't know me, but don't want to play that trick."
"You..." Hui'an wanted to get angry, but looking at Ao Han's appearance, it was obvious that if he did not take out the agreed peach, the other party would obviously not take action again. After hesitating for a moment, he performed a Buddhist ritual: "The little monk has no intention. The Lord gave me the peach to the Dragon King."
As he said that, he took out a peach from somewhere, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally gave the peach to Ao Han.
"This is what you should give to me. Di Lie Jiaolong has achieved enlightenment, is ignorant and has been plotted by you. Today, this peach can be considered a matter of justice for him." Ao Shang took the peach and his eyes flashed with excitement. With this peach, he was enough to achieve enlightenment and become a true immortal.
"Don't say anything more about Dragon King, then Lu Bu seems to be going to do it." Hui'an urged.
"Don't worry, this move requires a famous master. Come and call Di Lie." Ao Han waved his hand and said to his subordinates.
"What does the Dragon King mean to call Di Lie?" Hui'an frowned.
"Since they know each other, Di Lie has been trying to breathe a sigh of relief. Since that's the case, I'll give him a chance." Ao Shang smiled.
Hui'an secretly despised him when she heard this. She said that she had just used justice as an excuse. She had just felt a little admiration just now, but now it seems that she is in vain.
