Chapter 189: A puff of black smoke
"It's... This..."Lei Yan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, a whole foot thick book, he flipped the last page and didn't see a single formation record. Unrelenting, he flipped through it from the beginning, and this time he didn't want to let go of any introduction, so he read it word by word.
As he flipped through the pages, Lei Yan completely forgot the time, forgot the hunger, and forgot everything. He was already completely fascinated, and this "Brief Explanation of Formation" is not about how to set up the formation, but about the principle of the formation and how the formation is calculated. These don't seem to be of any use, but Lei Yan knows that no matter what kind of formation, as long as he knows his operating principle, he can use this calculation method to deduce the effect of the formation, the weakness of the formation, how to break the formation, etc.
It was already dark outside, and Lei Yan lit the oil lamp and was about to continue studying the "Brief Solution of the Formation", when there was a knock on the door outside.
"Knock knock... Knock knock..."
A rhythmic knock on the door interrupted Lei Yan, and he stood up and opened the door, finding Fang Zhong waiting anxiously. As soon as Fang Zhong saw Lei Yan come out, he said, "Come with me!"
Fang Zhong walked in front, and said as he walked, "You kid, you don't know how to go back so late, and now it's almost a ruckus outside." ”
"Oh no!" Lei Yan said secretly in his heart, he had been studying the "Formation Strategy" just now and forgot everything at once, including Qing Ling.
"Hurry up and hand over the thunder, or I want you to be restless!" Sure enough, as Lei Yan expected, he heard Qing Ling's voice as soon as he left the courtyard of the pharmacy.
In fact, Qing Ling didn't think about coming out at all, and she was very obedient when she first woke up. But as time went on, her stomach was also hungry, and Lei Yan didn't come back, and she didn't know where to find food, so she kept waiting. Anyone who has had the experience of waiting for someone knows that when waiting for someone is like a year! After waiting for Lei Yan to come back, she began to speculate in her heart, one guessing that Lei Yan abandoned her and left, and another guessing that Lei Yan was arrested by the people here, in short, as long as she could think of it, she thought about it again. In the end, she thought that Lei Yan was arrested by the people here, so she came out to look for Lei Yan.
Lei Yan rushed over in three steps and two steps, and found that many people were surrounding Qingling, and among these people, Lei Yan found Lu Kai with a small mountain-like body at a glance.
"I said Miss Ling, this is really wronged, your man is one of us now, how can we hurt him? He is in the pharmacy now, if you don't believe it, you can go with me to find him!" Lu Kai remembered the words that Cui Ba said to him when he learned the news just now, 'You brought the person, you have to find a way to solve it!', he was depressed.
"Yes, Ray is in the pharmacy!" one of the bandits echoed Lu Kai's words.
"This woman is so unreasonable!" said the other bandit, displeased.
"That's right, if Ray wasn't our dragon tyrant, I would have done it a long time ago!" said a bandit armed with a single knife angrily.
None of these people did anything. It was Qing Ling who used poison to put down a few people, and of course Qing Ling only stunned them.
"Get out of the way! get out of the way!" Lei Yan walked inside as he pushed through the crowd.
"Ling'er, are you okay!" Lei Yan took Qing Ling's hand and looked Qing Ling up and down and asked with concern. He is very jealous of Lu Kai's heavy hand, Qing Ling's body is so weak now, if he pats him so lightly, I am afraid it will fall apart.
"I'm fine!" Originally, Qing Ling was going to scold Lei Yan after seeing him, but when he saw Lei Yan's concerned eyes, he forgot all the words prepared in his mind.
Hearing Lei Yan's voice, Lu Kai said unhappily: "I said that Lei Boy is bothering you to take care of your mother-in-law next time! ”
"I'm sorry everyone, Ling'er, she also cares about me before she makes a move, I'm here to accompany you!" Lei Yan turned around and apologized to Lu Kai and the others. Then he investigated these fainted people, and immediately felt a lot more relieved in his heart, Qingling, this girl is finally a little measured. He took a few pills from the demon weapon and stuffed them into the mouths of several fainting bandits, and in a moment they all came to their senses.
"It's all gone!" Lu Kai said.
Hearing that the matter was resolved, these bandits all dispersed, and only Lu Kai looked at Lei Yan with a surprised expression. He couldn't understand that the kid who looked sick yesterday was so refreshed today, "I said Lei boy, why have you changed so much today!"
"It's nothing, it's just some medicine!" Lei Yan said casually.
Qing Ling was not surprised, she had already known Lei Yan's symptoms, but she was just weak. Even she can concoct the medicine that will make Lei Yan recover, and of course Lei Yan herself can do it.
"Lu Kai, I'm in trouble!" Lei Yan's brows suddenly furrowed, and he saw puffs of black smoke looming in the sky. Without the slightest hesitation, the ability immediately spread out in all directions, reaching its limit, and he noticed that two men in black were moving rapidly towards the swamp. Judging from each other's dress and momentum, these two people are definitely here to find fault.
"Trouble?" Lu Kai was stunned, almost no one in the outside world knew the location of Long Ba, and the people inside would not fight and make trouble, so what trouble could there be.
"Look at the back!" Lei Yan pointed to the back.
Lu Kai looked over along with Lei Yan's point, puffs of black smoke loomed, and the sound of fighting also came from the wooden house in the distance, which seemed to be getting clearer and clearer.
"I'll take a look!" Lu Kai frowned, and rushed over without looking back.
"Ling'er, you go back to the house first. Lei Yan took out an elixir from the demon weapon and handed it to Qing Lingdao, "This is the antidote, if you encounter danger, eat it!" According to Lei Yan's idea, Qing Ling will take the antidote when she is in danger, and then she will have the strength to save her life, after all, she is a cultivator, and it is difficult for the power of the world to kill her.
"I'm going to take a look, too!" Qing Ling didn't follow Lei Yan's thoughts at all, took the antidote and stuffed it into his mouth. As soon as the elixir entered, those long-lost true elements gathered towards her dantian like a spring, and a transparent ball was instantly formed.
"I've actually reached the middle stage of foundation building!" Feeling the changes in his body, Qing Ling subconsciously exclaimed.
"Alas..." Lei Yan shook his head helplessly, and just as he wanted to speak, a whirlwind swirled over Lei Yan's head, and two figures were entangled in the air. The overflowing innate internal force instantly destroyed several wooden houses around them, and piles of wood flew all over the sky with dust. Lei Yan's face also began to deform under the pressure of innate internal force, and Qing Ling's hair was also instantly scattered under the whirlwind.
"Hmph!" Qing Ling, who saw her hair being blown up, snorted coldly, just such a cold snort, everything around her instantly calmed down, and the light visible to the naked eye spread out from around her, and everything she passed calmed down. Lei Yan immediately turned his head and drank Qing Ling, he didn't want anyone to know Qing Ling's strength.
Qing Ling reluctantly put away the true yuan, originally she also wanted to try what the difference was in the strength of the middle stage of foundation building.
Lei Yan saw Qing Ling put away Zhenyuan, and then he looked up at the air, and the two were fighting. One of them is none other than Cui Ba, the leader of the Dragon Tyrant. The other person was a sturdy old man dressed in black. The two people in the air didn't seem to feel that Qingling's true yuan was still fighting, and suddenly, with a sound of "Peng", the two quickly separated after palming each other.
"Rub it!"
Cui Ba fell to the ground and took a few steps back, while the old man slowly fell to the ground, obviously his skill was higher than Cui Ba. The old man had just fallen to the ground, and with a light tap under his feet, he turned over in the air and slashed at Cui Ba with a palm, and Cui Ba did not show weakness and greeted him with a palm.
"Peng!"
The two masters faced each other, and the ground was shaken.
"Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!"
One palm ended, and the two of them had a few palms in succession. In the end, the old man and Cui Ba's hands collided against each other, competing for internal strength. Lei Yan's ability could sense a faint glow wrapping around the palms of the two of them. As time passed, Cui Ba's face began to turn white, and the old man was calm, obviously Cui Ba's internal strength was slightly inferior.
"Cui Ba, the old man has always tolerated you for the sake of the bandits who are also poisonous miasma, but you don't know how to advance or retreat. Say, where the hell are you hiding that letter?" the old man shouted coldly.
"Do you take this opportunity to kill Cui Ba and take down Long Ba, or help Cui Ba kill the old man and gain Cui Ba's trust. When Lei Yan was hesitating, he suddenly heard the old man's words, and subconsciously looked at the old man, only to see that the old man was staring at Cui Ba, with extreme confidence in his eyes.
I don't know if Cui Ba needs to concentrate on the internal force competition, or if he is deliberately silent, the old man's face changed, and he suddenly urged the internal force of the whole body. A strong internal force rushed towards Cui Ba like a flood. Cui Ba couldn't help but take a step back, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
The hard one can't come to the soft one, the old man rushed and closed the internal force, slowed down the internal force, and said with a smile: "Cui Ba, the old man can forgive you for your recklessness, and at the same time, the old man can also promise you that as long as you can hand over the letter, there will only be one dragon Ba in the poisonous miasma forest in the future, how about it?"
Cui Ba's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he had to admit that what the old man said was very tempting. But to be able to make this old man make a decision to quit the poisonous miasma forest that he has guarded all his life, obviously this letter can make Cui Ba even more tempting, his face changed, and two words popped out of his mouth, "Don't think!"
Cui Ba's attitude completely angered the old man, and sneered, "Very good, since you don't say it, it's useless to keep you!" The internal force suddenly gathered in his arms, and with a loud shout, Cui Ba's whole person flew backwards.
At the same time that Cui Ba flew out, Lei Yan's eyes suddenly froze, ending the hesitation of 'which one to kill', his right foot stomped to the ground, and with the help of the anti-shock force of the ground, the whole person flew up, and the internal force gathered in the air on his right hand, and slapped the back of the old man's heart with a palm.
The old man had just sent out the internal force, and was about to take it back, when his face suddenly changed. He suddenly felt that someone was sneaking up on him in the rear, and it was still a sneak attack when his old power was out and his new force was not born, and he was extremely aggrieved in his heart, seeing that the attack was coming, he could only meet the opponent's attack in a hurry.
"Peng!"
When his palms touched, the old man took a step back sharply, and his face turned white with a 'brush'. The old man, who trembled slightly, spoke, "You are... Before he finished speaking, the whole person shook violently like a lightning strike, and then fell down with a bang.
Lei Yan's palm contains internal force transmission, which can penetrate the opponent's internal force, specializing in muscles, meridians, and bones. How could he resist the transmission of internal force in the state of an old man, if it was in his heyday, it would be another matter.
At the moment of the old man's death, Cui Ba sat down cross-legged, and the heavy internal injuries made him have to treat first. At the same time, Lu Kai and Leng Lao Er galloped from not far away, Lu Kai was covered in blood, and Leng Er's scimitar was also stained with a trace of blood, obviously the person who was with the old man had been killed by them.
"Lei boy, is Cui Ba okay!" Lu Kai asked as soon as he came over,
"I suffered some internal injuries!" Lei Yan could feel the sincere concern in the eyes of Lu Kai and Leng Er, obviously this Cui Ba was not low in their minds, and he couldn't help but have a new understanding of Cui Ba. At the same time, he was also glad about his decision to help Cui Ba, if Cui Ba really died, I am afraid he would not be able to capture Long Ba.
"Take this to Cui Ba, it will help him recover as soon as possible!" Lei Yan took out several pills from the demon weapon, one of these pills was an antidote, and he was at this time to remove the chronic poison he had under last time.
Although the pill can treat internal injuries, it does not have an instantaneous effect. Cui Ba, who took the pill, closed his eyes again, and slowly repaired the injured meridians with internal force. With the exertion of the medicinal power, those injured meridians quickly recovered, and even he felt that his internal strength had faintly improved. Suddenly, Cui Ba opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on Lei Yan not far away.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Lei Yan was a little overwhelmed when Cui Ba saw it. Cui Ba's eyes were a little weird, containing a lot of emotions, and even a feeling of kindness. He was a little strange, his approach was at most to gain Cui Ba's trust.
Leng Lao Er seemed to have discovered the abnormality between Cui Ba and Lei Yan, shook his head, and muttered in his heart, "Cui Ba thinks of his son again!"
After a while, Cui Ba tore off the wine gourd from his waist, poured a few sips, and then threw the wine gourd to Lei Yan.
Seemingly infected by Cui Ba's emotions, Lei Yan also raised his head boldly and poured it, and poured a few sips of wine. Lei Yan couldn't stand it a little, the wine flow was like a stream of fire swallowing down his throat, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be ignited by this stream of fire, galloping. The burning feeling made his brain flash violently, everything has five element attributes, could it be that the sentence that everything can be medicine is to strengthen the five element attributes of all things. As soon as he thought of this, he was interrupted by Lu Kai on the side, Lu Kai saw Lei Yan's state, his heart trembled, his big hand covered Lei Yan's mouth, and said with a sad face, "Lei boy, the whole dragon is just a little bit, if you dare to spit it out, Lao Tzu and you are not finished!"
Lei Yan glared at Lu Kai, the inspiration that had just appeared was interrupted by him, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he was relieved to see Lu Kai's painful appearance, I am afraid that this Lu Kai is a person who is addicted to alcohol. moved Lu Kai's hand away and scolded: "You also underestimate me too much, what can this wine do to me?" said and poured a few more sips of wine, and deliberately snorted in front of Lu Kai, "Good wine!
"Hahaha!" Cui Ba saw Lei Yan's appearance and said with a smile, "Okay, Lei, from today onwards you will be the seventh child of Long Ba!"
"In addition to Cui Ba, Lu Kai, and Leng Lao Er, there are three other people?" Lei Yan didn't expect that this Dragon Ba had six main characters, shook his somewhat drunk head, knelt down on one knee and said, "Lei Qi, see Cui Ba!"
"Get up!" Cui Ba nodded with some satisfaction, saw Lei Yan's face full of wine and took a few steps forward, grabbed Lei Yan's hand and pulled him up. Lei Yan had just stood up, Cui Ba turned to Leng Er and asked, "Second brother, how is the situation over there?"
A trace of sadness flashed in Leng Er's eyes, "How many brothers have died!"
Lu Kai's eyes on the side also revealed a trace of sadness, "Cui Ba, what Feng Dan brought was actually the late stage of congenital!"
"Late congenital stage?" Cui Ba's heart was shocked, Feng Dan was only a small organization in the Poison Miasma Forest, but with the strength of their members, their lives were even better than those of Long Ba. It's just that it has always been a mystery how their members have improved their strength, and after thinking for a while, he ordered, "Second brother, the leader of the cheetah died here, I'm afraid it won't be too calm these days!" ”
"Cui Ba, what's going on with this cheetah?" asked Lei Yan respectfully.
Cui Ba looked at Lei Yan, his eyes were full of kindness, and he pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "He is the leader of the cheetah, Feng Dan! The cheetah is an organization smaller than Long Ba in the poisonous miasma forest, and they also make a living by robbing." However, the members of this cheetah are strong overall, so they are more comfortable than the dragon tyrants. ”
From Cui Ba's tone, Lei Yan seemed to feel a little unwilling, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Cui Ba, I think Feng Dan's death is an opportunity! We may be able to take this opportunity to eradicate the cheetah." ”
Cui Ba's eyes lit up, but as they dimmed again, he didn't speak again. Lu Kai, who was standing on the side, seemed to be very satisfied with the word 'we' in Lei Yan's mouth, and hugged Lei Yan affectionately and explained, "Old Seven, you don't know very well when you first came. It's not the first time we've dealt with cheetahs, and almost all of them are martial artists at the pinnacle of the day after tomorrow. And Feng Shan also has a brother, both of them are strong people in the late congenital stage, and it is difficult to eradicate the cheetah!"
"It turned out that I was worried about the problem of strength!" Lei Yan finally understood why Cui Ba was unwilling in his heart, presumably it was this problem of strength that made Cui Ba keep resisting the urge to do it. If it's just a matter of strength, it's very simple for Lei Yan, he smiled and said, "Cui Ba, I have a way to quickly improve Long Ba's strength, but this method has a drawback." ”
"Say!" Cui Ba's eyes flashed with excitement, and his spirit became focused.
"Realm, unearned cultivation will make Lingtai unable to correctly perceive the realm, and it will be even more difficult to improve cultivation in the future. Maybe hover in this realm of hypocrisy all your life. Lei Yan smiled.
"Wandering in the realm of hypocrisy?" The three of them, including Cui Ba, were stunned, they were just a group of bandits, and although they couldn't explain the word realm in words, they were still a little ignorant. But what it means to wander in the realm of hypocrisy, none of them can understand.
Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Lei Yan continued to explain, "To put it simply, this realm is just an illusion, an illusion of self-deception. For example, if he has reached the Innate Realm through this unearned way, then he still has to die when he encounters a Congenital Realm martial artist......"
Before Lei Yan's words were finished, Lu Kai grinned and said, "Self-deception, how do I feel that you are playing with us!"
"Lu Kai!" Cui Ba seemed to understand what Lei Yan meant, and immediately stopped Lu Kai and motioned for Lei Yan to continue.
"Although you still have to die when you encounter the innate realm, you can kill the martial artists below the innate realm. Lei Yan smiled, although this method would make it impossible for many martial artists to continue to improve their cultivation, but it could increase their overall strength several times.
Cui Ba lowered his head and thought for a moment and asked, "How much time do you need?"
"One day, all of them have reached the innate realm!" Lei Yan said with a smile, he had absolute confidence, the multicolored dust milk he got from the cave when he left the Ghost Poison Gate was enough to make a few dragon tyrants improve their strength.
"All of them have reached the innate realm?" Cui Ba was a little suspicious of his ears, although these are pseudo-congenital, but they are stronger than the strength of the peak of the day after tomorrow, how can Cui Ba not be tempted by such strength, he was stunned for a moment and ordered, "Second brother, order down, all the people will gather in the martial arts training ground!"
"Yes!" Leng Lao Er said excitedly, he also understood what Lei Yan meant, if Lei Yan could really do it, Long Ba would be able to dominate the Poison Miasma Forest, and even set foot in the 'Eight Directions Road' (the official road leading to the Quartet outside the Poison Miasma Forest).
After a while, about hundreds of bandits gathered in the martial arts training ground, and everyone was talking about it. Cui Ba and the others came to the center of the martial arts training venue, and there were three people standing in the center at this time. Cui Ba pointed to the three of them and introduced them to Lei Yan, these people were, "Qian Duoduo, Wang Wu and Zhao Liu!" After a brief introduction, Cui Ba whispered a few words to Lu Kai and Leng Er, and after finishing speaking, Lu Kai and Leng Lao Er trotted away.
After a while, Lu Kai came to the martial arts training ground with a copper tripod more than a zhang high, and with a "bang", he put down the copper tripod, and the ground shook. Then Lu Kai lit three long incense sticks and inserted them in the copper tripod. And Leng Lao Er also carried a table, and there were several lamps on the table.
Everything was ready, Cui Ba said loudly, "Today we are going to welcome a new brother!" As soon as Cui Ba's words fell, there was a lot of discussion below.
"The ceremony begins!" Cui Ba shouted, and the martial arts training ground instantly fell silent.
"Welcome to the ...... of the new brothers"
As Cui Ba's voice fell, he took the lead in stabbing his fingers with a sharp blade, dripping blood into the bowl on the table. Immediately after Lu Kai, one by one the bandits stepped forward to cut their flesh and drip blood, and several bowls were instantly filled with blood, and wisps of blood slipped down the bowls and dripped to the ground.
This is the sincerity of the dragon leaders to welcome their brothers, and they believe that blood can represent their sincerity.
Lei Yan also seemed to be infected by this bloody scene, stepped forward, picked up a sharp blade and pierced his fingers to drip blood into the bowl. All the people were dripping with blood, Cui Ba picked up the bowl and divided the blood into seven parts, poured it with wine, and drank it all with a bowl of blood wine. Lu Kai and the others drank the blood wine one after another, Lei Yan looked at the bright red wine, it was the first time he made this kind of move, some excited, some hesitant, and finally drank the wine in one go.
"The ceremony is complete!" Cui Ba was in a good mood.
"Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" hundreds of bandits cheered together.
