Chapter 20: The Three Blasts of the Great Wind Horn
Dusk, May snowflakes fall.
A lone horseman emerged from the distant mountains outside the Cold Star City, and from a great distance away, one could already hear the labored breathing of his warhorse, as well as its terrified whinnying.
The guards near the city gate couldn't help but look into the distance, the horseshoes were in disarray, and the neighing of the war horses was even more piercing to the ear, making these guards slightly uneasy.
The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, but it seemed that there was no one on the horse's back, just an empty warhorse.
"This is the war horse of the mountain patrol team! Quick, stop him!" A soldier who recognized the horse shouted hastily.
Plop!
As soon as the words fell, a black shadow heavily fell from the horse's back, and the warhorse seemed to be frightened, roaring, under the guards' astonished eyes, it rushed all the way into Hansheng City, causing a commotion!
The guards were shocked and the war horses, born for battle, normally well-trained, would not be easily frightened even in a large-scale war, but today, this horse was like seeing a ghost! It didn't even care about its own master, clearly it had been frightened to the extreme!
Whoosh!
A group of guards rushed up to surround the warrior who had fallen from his horse, and it was clear from his armor that he was a mountain patrol cavalryman!
His left arm was like being bitten by a beast, and the wound was extremely hideous!
It's strange that the wound is so severe, yet there isn't much blood. Has this warrior's blood already been lost along the way?
"Quickly call a doctor!" The squad leader guarding the gate shouted loudly, and he picked up the injured soldier and rushed into the city!
"Hold on! Brother, you must hold on!"
"It's too late..." The thin soldier choked and said: "Quickly, blow the big wind horn!"
Typhoon warning! ?
Everyone was stunned!
The Great Wind Horn is the horn of battle! Once the Great Wind Horn sounds, the entire city must be on high alert immediately! All able-bodied men must take up arms and go to the battlefield to fight!
"What's going on? Are you kidding me?! We're actually going to blow the conch shell?!"
"Could this brother have fainted?" The soldiers guarding the city dared not believe their ears and asked in doubt.
"Shut up, all of you!" The city gate official glared at the warrior's gruesome wound and shouted.
The cavalrymen are well-trained lone warriors with strong combat skills and unyielding determination! They would never make light of a serious matter like the Big Wind Chime.
"Brother! Brother! Need to blow a few whistles!? What level of situation is this?!"
That warrior with a torn-off arm, extremely weak, stretched out his intact arm and made a gesture...
No one asked another word, everyone's heart fell to the bottom of the valley, shattered!
The snow arrived before sunset!
……
Su Jia's new home, Su Qi year one counter-attacked, called Su Ning and Su Dong to his side.
After thinking for a long time, Su Qi Nian finally asked: "What are you two brothers doing? Why is this courtyard filled with spiritual energy? And it's a very chaotic spiritual energy."
Su Ning was young and lost his composure as soon as he was asked by his father, turning his head to look at Su Dong.
Only Su Dong's face was equally perplexed, and he curiously asked: "Father, you are a teacher, not a warrior. You can sense the spiritual energy in the yard, but why do you also feel that the spiritual energy in the yard is very chaotic?"
Su Ning was taken aback and asked foolishly: "Yes, Father doesn't practice martial arts, how does he understand spiritual power so clearly?"
Su Qiannian did not expect Su Dong to think so quickly, and was caught off guard by his son, unable to come up with a response for the time being, and stood there in a daze.
"This..." Su Qiyan hesitated for a long time before saying: "I am the father, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, of course I know what kind of spiritual power this yard has, it's very normal!"
"Su Dong, don't change the subject, I'm asking you, what's going on with the spiritual energy in this courtyard?"
Su Dong smiled slightly, since his father didn't tell the truth, he naturally wouldn't either.
"It's unclear, I don't know how it happened either, but suddenly there was spiritual energy in the courtyard."
Su Qiannian was somewhat annoyed, and he heavily patted the armrest of his chair: "Nonsense! The last time I came here to take a look, it was precisely because I wanted to see what kind of situation this place was in. That night, there wasn't even a hint of spiritual energy in this courtyard, but now there's an overwhelming amount! If you say you didn't do anything fishy, I absolutely won't believe it."
Su Ning didn't understand, "Father, isn't it great that our family has spiritual power? Others would be envious! They have to spend a lot of money to invite an astrologer to draw stars, but our family hasn't spent a single cent and we already have spiritual power that's even stronger than drawing stars. This is a good thing!"
Hmph!
Su Qiyan narrowed her eyes and coldly snorted, "If we have spiritual energy, what kind of family would we be? People like us who have spiritual energy will only be remembered by more people. At that time, not only can't we keep this courtyard, but our whole family might even lose their lives!"
"Don't think I don't know, why the Hua family rushed to our house last time? Wasn't it because of this accursed spiritual power?! Are you going to let the same thing happen again before you stop?"
Su Qiannian is telling the truth, a common man is innocent, but if he has jade in his bosom, he will be guilty.
Su Dong stood up with a smile and walked into the courtyard, reaching out to grab the lamp post of the Longming lamp and pulling it down.
The mechanism was activated, and the flow of spiritual energy leading to the backyard was blocked. The spiritual energy in the yard immediately began to dissipate.
Su Qi Nian and Su Ning were both stunned! They had no idea that Su Dong had long been prepared for this move, secretly setting up a mechanism to seal off the spiritual energy!
The reason for using the extremely risky Four Gate Double Python Formation and opening the Double Canals to divert the flow is precisely in order to exert control over the Feng Shui formation!
Even if Su Dong is not at home, others who understand the trick can easily control the spiritual power in this yard!
Building a Feng Shui formation is not the most difficult thing, the most difficult thing is to control it!
Su Dong actually did it!
"What... what kind of power is this! Have you sold your heart to the devil!?!" Su Qi Nian jumped up from his chair, clearly very angry.
Su Dong was taken aback, he had originally wanted to show off his four-door formation method, but unexpectedly it was misunderstood by his somewhat old-fashioned father.
People from another world are superstitious. Su Qi Nian is already furious, his whole body trembling as if he really believes that Su Dong has made a deal with the devil.
"Father, calm down. It's not that I didn't want to tell you, it's just that this matter is really important. You know why I fell into a deep sleep and was bedridden for so long, don't you?"
Su Dong's long-term coma was Su Qi Nian's Achilles' heel, he felt that he owed it to his son, so as soon as Su Dong mentioned this matter, Su Qi Nian immediately changed color and looked very painful.
"I don't know why it's like this, I've taken you to see the best doctors, but they're all helpless. Alas, Father owes you an apology." Su Qi Nian said painfully.
Su Dong said: "I'm not blaming you, it's just that I have a secret. If I tell you, you mustn't reveal it to anyone outside, or else I'll die without a place to be buried."
Su Qiannian and Su Ning immediately became very serious upon hearing this.
"As a matter of fact, I have a master." Su Dong said seriously: "It was he who taught me these extraordinary skills, and it was also him who cured my illness and gave me a new life."
"At that time, I often heard voices talking to me at night, telling a kind of magical astrology, which was very different from the ordinary astrologer..."
Su Dongpo chatted endlessly, he had a master in his past life, but that was a previous lifetime's affair.
As for Su Dong saying that his Qimen formation method was a mysterious and strange star-pulling technique, Su Qiannian and Su Ning didn't feel surprised at all. After all, the Qimen formation method could also gather spiritual energy, and it was much more powerful than the star-pulling technique.
Su Dong finished telling his own story, and Su Qi Nian and Su Ning were completely fascinated. Because in the story, Su Dong told some strange stories about himself and Old Master traveling the world.
Traveling the world, secrets of the heavens, what a wonderful story, listening can make people infatuated!
Su Dong lay in bed for fourteen years, if no one told him, he wouldn't even be able to make it up.
So Su Qi Nian and Su Ning completely believed Su Dong's story. After listening, Su Qi Nian let out a long sigh and said painfully: "Father is really to blame! He actually forced you to reveal such an important matter, what if your master blames you for it?"
"Sudong hastily comforted him saying: 'Master said, tell the family members it's nothing serious, what's most important is not to tell outsiders, otherwise it will trigger a huge storm!'"
Su Qi Nian and Su Ning hastily nodded, indicating they would never leak it out.
At this moment, a mournful horn sounded in the sky above Froststar City, as if a magical beast was roaring!
This sound lasted for a whole minute!
"It's the Great Wind Horn!?" Su Qi Nian suddenly exclaimed: "When the great wind rises, the three thousand jin horn sounds! Are we going to war?!"
Three people walked into the yard at the same time, only to see heavy snowfall, extremely dark skies, and it was about to enter night.
In this scene, the mournful sound of the horn is blown, and it can't help but make people feel a chill to the bone.
Su Dong asked in confusion: "What is Da Feng Hao?"
Su Qi Nian explained: "The Great Wind Order is the highest level of defense order in Hansheng City. One sound of the Great Wind Order means that the enemy is nearby and has the power to break through Hansheng City! Two sounds mean that the enemy is like a vast ocean, enough to trample Hansheng City!"
"What if it's three calls?" Su Dong thought for a moment and asked.
"Three sounds?" Su Qi Nian shook his head and said: "It's impossible to have three sounds, unless it's the end of the world, or..."
"In any case, there won't be a third big storm anyway." Su Qi Nian said with a wave of his hand.
The words had barely fallen when a second horn sounded in the sky!
Just then, a confused noise came from outside Su's house, and it was clear that the pedestrians on the street were completely in an uproar, with people tumbling over each other!
"Are there many enemies? Do they have the strength to trample down the Froststar City?" Su Dong thought in his heart.
Su Ning quickly retrieved his dagger from the room and inserted it into his back, tensely telling Su Dong: "Brother, two blasts of the Great Wind Horn means an extremely powerful enemy has arrived! We need to assemble at the Martial Hall immediately, after all we are also warriors!"
Su Dong didn't understand these rules, and only when Su Ning mentioned it did he go into the house to find his own spiritual sword, Duan Hong, planning to go with Su Ning to gather at the Martial Arts Academy. Su Qi Nian's face looked very difficult, anxiously looking at his two sons who were going to war.
"Father, let's go!" Suning said in a low voice.
The two brothers took big strides forward and had only walked a few steps when they heard the piercing rumble in the sky again!
The third blast of the great horn, which was thought to be impossible to sound, has been sounded!
That mournful sound, like a ghost wailing or a wolf howling, pierced through the mountains and fields!
