Chapter 44: The Way of Life
The empty wasteland is endless, and the wind and sand are flying in the sky on this desolate land, in this apocalyptic land, except for a very few creatures with strong survival ability, most of the creatures cannot survive at all, and today, in this barren land, the appearance of a man in a gray robe brings a sound to this silent space.
At that moment, the speed of movement of a kilometer was already his extreme, but the storm with a silver light behind him was even faster than him, and the distance between the two was constantly shortening, as long as there was a very short time, it was inevitable that the man would be overtaken.
Stretched out his hand to wipe the blood flowing from his forehead, compared to the injuries in other places on his body, Shen Qingjie was more concerned about the piano wrapped in the black cloth behind him at the moment, he was too careless just now, and even after collecting the "Ebony Star", he directly began to chisel and make the "goose feet" at the bottom of the piano in the blue swamp, so that he ignored the drifting law of the poisonous fog in the swamp, and the camouflage of the floating eel was really difficult to distinguish, so he had to stop and flee halfway.
The storm-like existence behind him is not a naturally formed storm, but a storm caused by a group of floating eels swimming extremely fast in the air, this creature feeds on all living forms, absorbs the metal substances in the body of the life they eat and turns it into a part of their own bones, they are the culprits of the formation of the blue swamp area, and they are also the top killers in the demon domain, and because of the strong physique brought by the metal bones that appear all over their bodies, they can completely ignore the physical damage caused by the spatial rift, and hunt down the target in a state of almost spatial flickering, and what is even more terrifying is that the floating eel is a social creature, Shen Qingjie had no way to count how many floating eels were chasing him behind him, but under a rough estimate, five million was only a guaranteed estimate.
His body was still affected by the poisonous mist in the center of the swamp just now, and he was getting more and more sluggish, and if he didn't think of a new way, he would definitely die here!
The green light flashed in his right hand, and the verdant green bamboo flute instantly swung out a cross slash light pattern in his hand, slashing towards the storm behind, the moment the cross slash was out of his hand, the five fingers of his right hand were dexterously flipped, and he held the flute horizontally, and the blue-green spirit array was centered on Shen Qingjie's flute, and then it quickly unfolded, layer upon layer, and a huge spirit array with a radius of two thousand meters was unfolded in just one second.
Without the slightest hesitation in the movements of his hand, he took out the bamboo flute from the formation, took a light breath, and the crisp and melodious flute sound poured out, although it seemed small in front of this violent "wind and sand", but in the space behind the spiritual array, it became a spiritual power circulation system, and the rhythm of the blowing surrounded the entire heaven and earth in the way of spiritual power, and the two-thousand-meter-high spiritual array was erected between Shen Qingjie and the metal storm behind him like a city wall.
It was the "sound of war" that belonged to the ancient era of the spiritual realm, when the rhythm of Shen Qingjie was playing at the moment was formed in the sky, countless illusory golden soldiers with spears in their hands rushed out from the huge spiritual array like a city wall, unlike the legendary army of the undead buried in the ground of the Demon Domain Palace, the soldiers summoned by Shen Qingjie were not entities, but soldiers composed of the surrounding aura controlled by his rhythm, and in terms of power, when the Nangong family still existed, this "sound of war" It was one of the ten forbidden techniques that they blocked, but since none of them could express the rhythm of this song, they didn't know what the actual power of the so-called "Sound of War" was!
Under the fiery flute sound of the charging horn played by the goddess of war, although these soldiers were imaginary, they were also full of high fighting spirit like living beings, and the golden torrent was fearless and collided with the metal storm that was slaughtered, and the bursting spiritual power made this wasteland, which was already only yellow sand and flying dust, even more reckless.
In Shen Qingjie's image, even if they can't eliminate most of the floating eels, they can at least be injured and retreat, but the group of floating eels in front of them, the hardness of their metal exoskeletons is really much beyond Shen Qingjie's cognition, and they can carry the attacks they control head-on, wantonly biting and colliding among the soldiers, and the hard bodies supported by the spiritual power structure are actually gnawed like fresh flesh in the bite of these monsters。
"This..." Shen Qingjie's shock was beyond words, he had never seen such a terrible floating eel, the tone suddenly changed, those golden soldiers who rushed into the group of floating eels turned into mist in an instant, and with the low tone of Shen Qingjie's tune, those golden mist connected into a net, and then expanded again, from two thousand meters to continue to stretch outward, trying to block the devouring of the floating eel with a soft momentum, but these skillful skills had no effect in front of the hungry devourer, just three seconds of blocking, the golden long net of the barrier was broken, and the unstoppable group of floating eels continued to rush towards the giant spirit array in front of Shen Qingjie。
Forcibly listening, enduring the backlash of spiritual magic and the toxins in his body that were infected in the swamp and began to attack, Shen Qingjie reversed the spirit array with his left hand while retreating quickly, transforming it into his own defensive formation, although he also knew that this could not be stopped for a long time, and he didn't know if he could escape from this murderous swamp, if he just died here, maybe Shen Qingjie wouldn't care at all, but the qin behind him, that was the crop he met with the Demon Emperor, and completing this qin was also his biggest goal in this life, and he would never allow it to be buried in this swamp before it was born!
"Boom!"
A loud noise came from behind him, it was the sound of his giant spirit array being penetrated and gnawed, Shen Qingjie waved the flute in his hand with his right hand, and the transparent sound blade that flew out from the flute body penetrated the broken spirit array behind him, and through its amplification, it instantly expanded into a giant blade of thousands of meters, but this only added a little longer time for his escape, and perhaps the large consumption of spiritual power in his body would make him die faster.
However, a hundred meters in front of him, the giant vegetation that suddenly emerged from the soft ground not only blocked Shen Qingjie's way, but also completely shattered his hope of escaping, it was the mysterious catcher hidden in the underground world-Sky Spider Flower!
Hurriedly retracted his figure and turned to the right sideline, but the Sky Spider Flower that broke through the crack in the ground and appeared in front of him one after another broke through the apprentice's restriction and made him only be able to forcibly stop his body, and in the back space that was covered by the green leaves of the Sky Spider Flower, a black mist-like existence floated faintly and visibly, and it should be the most dangerous ghost in the Demon Domain!
Shen Qingjie knew that the Demon Emperor raised an army in the Demon Domain, but he never thought that he would do such a terrible thing, along the way, there was almost no life without combat power in the entire Demon Domain, and the Demon Domain that was rumored in the Three Domains was a place of protection for the weak, so it seemed to be just a false lie, everything here was the army of the Demon Domain, and even the ghosts that could not be captured and tamed...
"Poof!"
The swamp toxin in the body has begun to paralyze the nerves, the earliest place of action is in the eyes, and now it has begun to blur and darken, if it is not treated in time, I am afraid that even if he can survive, he will be paralyzed, but now, he can't even think of the possibility of his escape, and he can't talk about the follow-up situation at all!
The flute waved, and the wind blade compressed from the sound hole of the flute was not enough to destroy the dense flower branches in front of him, and in just a few dodges, his already dull body was drawn by the barbed green leaves of the sky spider flower, and after Shen Qingjie used his last strength to repel the long leaf, his consciousness fell into a coma completely, and fell vertically towards the crack in the ground below.
It's only one last step away... As long as this last step is completed, his long-cherished wish will be completed, he has been sealed in the Nangong family for so many years, isn't he living for this moment! It is rare to be rescued by the Demon Emperor and he paid him materials that he may not be able to obtain in his life, and he has been careful all his life, and he has been careless at this last moment and buried all...
With the deep sleep of consciousness, Shen Qingjie's heart was overflowing with endless remorse, and this hatred seemed to have become the only support point of his consciousness, along with his consciousness has been through from nothingness to perceiving himself again, although his eyes are still dark, and there is only a faint sense of spiritual power around him, but the cold touch on the skin of his arm is indeed real, himself, shouldn't he die? This kind of cold touch, is it the rumored place where the deceased went "Sea of Dust"? This place is really cold, but... But there is a very special fragrance...
The mental exhaustion made Shen Qingjie fall into a deep sleep again, and I don't know how long it took, when he regained consciousness again, he had already awakened a lot, felt his body, and now he can be sure that his body still exists, it seems that he should not be dead, but he has never died, I don't know what it will be like after death, maybe the perception of the spirit body will be the same as before death.
Just when he was thinking wildly, the refreshing fragrance that he smelled when he was unconscious came again, if this is the environmental smell of the "sea of dust", then it may not be bad to stay here, Shen Qingjie, who was still dark in his consciousness, couldn't help but think, wait, the unfinished piano he was carrying...
Thinking of his unfinished work, Shen Qingjie's spirit was suddenly shocked, since he still has the consciousness and can smell the fragrance, it means that he may not be dead, although he doesn't know what the situation is, but he must go and find the unfinished piano back!
"Okay, don't move, your injuries are very serious, so I bandaged you, be honest with me!"
Qingwan's female voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Shen Qingjie was completely convinced that he was really not dead, but in that situation, how did he survive... His now near-paralyzed body couldn't express his thoughts at all, and he could only lie in a white hurry, and the woman next to him seemed to feel his heart after sensing the awakening of his consciousness.
"Your stuff is on the side, don't worry, now I'm going to help you sew up the last wound on your right arm, don't move!"
Hearing that nothing happened to his piano, Shen Qingjie's nervousness in his heart finally let go, where is he now, who is the woman next to him... Although he still had a lot of questions, all of this was no longer important until his body recovered, and when his spirit was suddenly relaxed, Shen Qingjie fell into a deep sleep again.
And the next time he woke up, accompanied by severe pain in his body, Shen Qingjie couldn't help but cry out in pain for a while, and his voice once again attracted the attention of the woman beside him.
"Hmm, you're awake?"
"Here... Where is it?" asked in a hoarse voice, his eyes were still in a state of blindness, Shen Qingjie couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, and the spiritual power in his body was in a state of depletion, and some of the recovered ones were used for the recovery of the body, and now Shen Qingjie couldn't really see anything clearly about the surrounding situation, but the pain in his body also told Shen Qingjie a good news, his consciousness has been completely restored, so it is only a matter of time to treat his body.
"The lowest end of the valley, you just fell from it when I came, but fortunately my sister came quickly, don't thank me yet!"
"You... Who is it?" Listening to the other party's tone, it seemed that he had come specifically to find himself, but he didn't have any acquaintances in these three domains, and the only familiar demon emperor was not like the feeling given to him by the person in front of him, and the other party was completely like a little girl who had never been in the world in various aspects.
"Ha, didn't Sister Yuxin tell you?" the other party said in a surprised tone, Shen Qingjie could completely imagine her speechless appearance now, "Ling Yin, my name is Nangong Lingyin, give me a good memory of this name!"
"Nangong... Ling Yin..."Shen Qingjie was stunned, the woman named Situ Yuxin did tell her that she would let people help her, but didn't she refuse, did she calculate that something would happen to her?
But stunned, after Ling Yin reported his name, Shen Qingjie felt estranged from her from the bottom of his heart, not to mention anything else, all because all the suffering and torture he suffered back then was caused by the Nangong family, and he also swore that he would be inseparable from the Nangong family from now on, but now the other party not only saved himself, but also preserved his unfinished crystallization, Shen Qingjie is also a moral person, so how to face Nangong Lingyin made him very entangled.
"Don't get entangled, I'm just hanging a Nangong surname, now that the people of the Nangong family are dead, your revenge should be avenged." Nangong Lingyin showed weakness with a pitiful expression, but she suddenly remembered that the toxins in the other party's body had not faded now, and she seemed to be invisible, so she said to herself speechlessly, and changed her serious expression.
"What are you talking about?, the Nangong family has been destroyed?" At first hearing such shocking news, Shen Qingjie couldn't believe his ears, and he moved emotionally, and the sharp tearing pain from his arm and abdomen instantly sobered him up.
"Hey, hey, hey, I told you not to move, it's very troublesome to bandage the wound, if you don't listen to my sister, I'll leave you here!" Seeing that the tourniquet that she had finally wrapped was soaked in red, Ling Yin wanted to knock Shen Qingjie's head angrily, but fortunately, she looked at the head that was also not lightly injured, resisted her desire, and started to continue to help him bandage.
"I said, why don't you use spiritual magic to heal, how long will it take to recover? ”
"Because your sister doesn't know how to do spiritual arts!" The force of the bandage on Ling Yin's hand was slightly forced, Shen Qingjie could bear it, and he didn't say a word, which made Ling Yin also feel interesting, but it was still important to heal, so he didn't embarrass him, and helped him deal with the wound again.
"The affairs of the Nangong family... Can you tell me what the situation is?" After Nangong Lingyin's movements were completed, it seemed that Shen Qingjie had been boiling for a long time, and now he could finally ask.
"Eh, didn't the Demon Emperor mention this to you?" Nangong Lingyin's tone was full of curiosity, after all, you were also rescued from the seal of the main peak of the Nangong family, why don't you know anything.
"Nope..."
"That's it, it's nothing to tell you, sixteen years ago, the main peak of the Nangong family suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, all the foundations of the Nangong family, including the hundreds of millions of living beings, were wiped out overnight in that disaster, I was just born at that time, although I was rescued by the Demon Emperor, I don't know what happened to the Nangong family that night. ”
Nangong Lingyin gave full play to her favorite storyteller's specialty, and mixed the catastrophe of the world sixteen years ago with some anecdotes and legends, and told Shen Qingjie that the terrible power at the beginning could directly wipe out one of the twelve families in the spiritual realm, and the other forces said that it was false not to panic, and they did not stop the adjustment of the old site of the Nangong family, but until now, there has been no progress, but there is also a rumor in the spiritual realm that the Situ family who raised Nangong Lingyin has actually mastered the original secret, but for some reason it has not been made public, although it is conjecturedThe "reason" is bizarre and absurd, but since the only survivor of the Nangong family has been living in the Situ family, there are still many people who believe in this kind of statement.
"That means that you are the last of the Nangong family... A member?" Shen Qingjie's injuries were not good, his weak hoarse voice was combined with shock, and his words sounded very funny to Ling Yin.
"Yes, you see that I am so miserable, do you still want to take revenge on me?" The expression and movements could not be seen, but pretending to be a weak and pitiful voice, Ling Yin was still good at it, no man could resist her soft whispering request, even if this man was blind and could not perceive, it would not affect Ling Yin's infection of his mood.
"I..."Suddenly got this shocking news, Shen Qingjie didn't know what his mood was now, he hated the Nangong family for most of his life, it can be said that in addition to wanting to complete a work that he was most satisfied with, another important thing in his life was the hatred of revenge for the Nangong family, but now... The emotion that occupied half of his heart suddenly collapsed and collapsed, and this huge gap in emptiness made Shen Qingjie, who had always called himself a "madman", fall into a stunned confusion.
For Shen Qingjie, it is impossible, although the other party is also a member of the Nangong family, but the Nangong family who made a feud with him is the group of people from a long, long time ago, and the years of difference between this girl named Ling Yin can be counted in tens of thousands, no matter what the other party says, it is innocent, and now that he has broken the seal, the Nangong family has also been wiped out, and his hatred has been over-replied, this emotion that he didn't want to mention in the first place, maybe he can really let go now.
"It seems to be okay, then don't trouble my sister in the future!"
"You can read minds, and you can feel the psychological changes. The facial expression was slightly speechless with a smile, although the body was still in pain, but Shen Qingjie felt the joy in his heart for a long time, and he didn't have hatred for the girl next to him, on the contrary, he also had a good feeling, "You saved me, how could I trouble you." ”
"Well, that's good, by the way, can you tell me about that piano? Why don't you wind it? It's pretty and beautiful, does it have a name? By the way, I picked it up for you..."
Once the relationship became easy-going, Ling Yin's words box opened directly, and a series of words also made Shen Qingjie, who had always been cold, smile dumbly.
"Can I answer them one by one?"
"Well, what are you carrying a cloth with two pieces of wood that heavy?"
There is a new question, whether this little guy's mind should jump so fast...
