Chapter Seventy-Four: The Heavenly Maiden Descends from Heaven
Nine Heavenly Prisons, deep in the wilderness on the other side of the Tianhe River, dry and boring, not even a single grass, after the Heavenly Court riots, Huo Shenying left the prison set up here, a place to detain those prisoners who disobeyed him.
Heavenly Hell, Training Room.
Dozens of meters deep into the ground from the ground, the chain hanging tower slowly descended, the thirteen sisters covered their faces, raised torches and walked to the dungeon, and heard those women fighting from a distance. A woman suddenly ran around the corner of the dungeon, and before she could reach the eyes of the thirteenth sister, she was shot to the ground by an iron arrow. The woman stretched out her hand and said, "Save my ......."
The thirteenth sister took off her hat and was about to bend down to check her injuries, but a sword shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and a stream of blood spurted out, killing the woman on the spot.
The thirteenth sister got up and saw a man about sixty years old standing in front of her, and said, "Ghost technician, what are you going to do?"
The man folded his hands and said: "Princess, soft-heartedness can't make a big deal, can you win the tear scales with your strength alone? Only by training these dead soldiers can you help the princess avenge the slaughter." ”
"Ghost Technician, your drill techniques are too cruel!"
"Princess, you don't know the truth that as long as people are good, there are many bad people around you, right?"
"Alright, Ghost Technician. Tonight, I will send them to the Mobei Plateau to forcibly seize the tear scales, but don't hurt anyone, she has a favor with me, no matter how I say it, I also know how to repay it. ”
"Rest assured, princess, as soon as you snatch the tear scales, I will send them a signal immediately. ”
The thirteenth sister stretched out her hand to the ghost technician: "These black clothes will be changed for them, and when they will go out, they will say that they are my Xian'e of Xuanwu Palace." ”
The ghost technician took his clothes and walked around the corner of the underground cell, and after a while, seven expressionless women dressed in black walked out: "See the princess." ”
"Get up, do you know what you're going to do?"
The seven women got up: "Got it." ”
"Okay, Ghost Technician, you will stay in Hell. Keep an eye on those prisoners, and when you have the chance, let them out!"
"Rest assured, princess, these prisoners have had enough of the torture here, as long as you give an order, when the time comes, they will definitely rush into the Vermilion Bird Palace and kill him without leaving a piece of armor. ”
"Then there's the Ghost Technician. The thirteenth sister glanced at the woman beside her, "You come with me." ”
The chains rose slowly, the pulleys made a screeching sound, and it was a long time before the hammock reached the ground. A gust of wind and snow hit, several prisoners fell in the dust, coughing non-stop, the thirteenth sister wanted to go up to check, but was stopped by the female technician behind her: "Princess, let's leave here early, otherwise as soon as the golden potassium heavenly soldiers who check the night arrive, I am afraid that it will cause trouble for the princess." ”
Another female technician said, "Yes, princess." We still have to go down to the Tianhe River to grab the tear scales, if it's too late, the people we want to intercept get out of Mobei, it will be difficult to have a chance. ”
The thirteenth sister hesitated again and again, and finally put on a hat and walked away with the seven female technicians.
On the Mobei Plateau, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and Qingbai pries out a lungfish from the desert and sucks up the water in its body. The horse feed he carried with him was almost finished, and Qingbai took off the burden on his body and was just about to sit on the ground and rest for a while. Suddenly, seven black-clothed women flew down from the sky, holding their palms, half-lying on the ground, wrapped in linen veil, holding two short daggers, surrounding Qingbai!
Qingbai hurriedly got up and summoned out the Qingbai sword: "Who are you?"
The female technician did not answer Qingbai's words directly, but rolled on the ground a few times and surrounded Qingbai. Although these female technicians do not have any advanced cultivation methods, but the shot is really weird, and the speed is also extremely fast, I don't know what kind of evil sect of the escape technique, when the green and white split the sword past, they all molded into the sand and dust to go down, which is why they chose to move in this desert north desert to snatch tears and scales, the unique desert land, for their escape to provide twice the result with half the effort.
After a few rounds, the female technicians all burrowed into the sand. Qingbai looked at the sea of sand in front of him carefully, for fear that these mysterious female technicians would use some other tricks, not to mention, the tiredness of running around for days, coupled with the death of Biqiu, Qingbai at this time was simply physically and mentally exhausted, but at this time, someone paid attention to the beads condensed by the scales of Kun and the tears of Peng.
Suddenly, a woman rushed out of the sand under her feet, a short dagger stabbed her, Qingbai soared into the air, flew out a few meters, and flew down with the sword, and the female technician also met at a very fast speed, but Jiang was still old and spicy, after the two passed by, Qingbai's arm was only a little skin trauma, and the female technician was directly cut off by the Qingbai sword, and fell to the ground and convulsed for a long time before dying. Seeing this, the other female technicians lined up their formations, three people attacked, three people escaped, exchanging ground and underground combat formations with each other, and after a while, a hurricane blew next to Qingbai, and the hurricane flickered big and small, forming a whirlpool, involving Qingbai, and Qingbai's eyes couldn't open under the pressure of the hurricane. Six daggers squeezed and stabbed, and Qingbai swung his sword to fight back, but in the end he was still pressed against his neck. The hurricane stopped, and only then did a female technician speak: "Search!"
The two of them stepped forward and touched the white body, but they didn't find what they were looking for.
The female technician at the head said: "Hand over the tear beads, my master has commanded, but you will not die!"
"Your master, look at the girl's tone, this master of your family is my old friend? Let me tell you the truth, the tears are no longer on me. ”
The woman at the head looked at the ice coffin of Biqiu parked on the side, and motioned for the woman behind her to go over to check, and the woman walked over to take a look and said, "Senior sister, it's a female corpse." ”
The female technician at the head said, "Pry open this ice coffin for me!"
"Yes. The woman replied.
"Stop, what are you doing!" Ren Qingbai shouted loudly, and the woman didn't mean to stop at all.
"You're so anxious, aren't these tears hidden in this coffin?" asked the female technician at the head.
Qingbai glared at her and said, "Tell her to stop, and I'll hand over the tear beads." ”
"Stop!" the female leader sighed.
The woman opposite stopped prying the coffin.
"Now you can hand over your things, right?"
Qingbai stretched out his hand to his chest, his eyes turned left and right twice, and the six-style disc in his hand emitted a golden light, scattering the female technicians and opening them out, Qingbai took the opportunity to step on the horse's back, raised his whip and ran towards the distance of the sand dunes, but the ice coffin was too heavy, so the speed of running was not very fast, and the six female technicians escaped into the sand, rolled into six balls and chased after them. In the blink of an eye, Qingbai was intercepted by six people. At this moment, the six technicians didn't want to let go of Qingbai's meaning so easily, and they all glared angrily, and the short dagger shone white in front of their eyes.
The priest of the Yin and Yang clan can only open the Heavenly Eye once in his life, and the person who opens the Heavenly Eye, as he grows older, the exercises in his body will weaken day by day, which is also one of the reasons why Qingbai is in a hurry to rush back to the village this time. At this time, Qingbai on the horseback was no longer able to drive the strength of the six-style disk, the six people squeezed and waved their hands, and the six short daggers flew towards the Qingbai on the horseback, Qingbai stepped on the horse's back and turned over to the ground, but was still stabbed in the face by one of the daggers.
At this moment, a sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance of the desert, and with the sound of horses' hooves, one after another shouted louder than the sound of horses' hooves. A bow and arrow flew and plunged into the chest of a female technician, who spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the sand dune.
The technician turned his head to look in the direction where the bow and arrow were flying, and not far away a group of men with a half-bare arm were straddled on horseback, looking at them with solemn expressions.
The technicians took a closer look, and they knew that these men of unknown origin were the masters of this desert, with tall and muscular bodies, enough to shock each of them.
The female technician at the head said, "Let's go." ”
Then the five of them plunged into the sand dunes, rolled out a few feet away, and then turned into a few puffs of green smoke and rose into the sky.
A man with a bow and arrows on his back and a scimitar at his waist dismounted and walked up to the woman who had been shot, lifted the veil that was wrapped around her face, and said, "The chief of Aber, it's a woman, and she's dead. ”
Abulslang stepped down from the horse, and when he stood on the ground, he saw clearly that his burly figure was one meter nine high! Aberslang walked to Qingbai's side, put Qingbai on his shoulder, and walked to the red comprehensive BMW in a few steps, put Qingbai on the horse's back and laughed and shouted, no matter how Qingbai shouted, they didn't have the slightest intention of stopping. After a period of turbulence, Qingbai finally fainted, and when she woke up, she was already lying in a tent on a grassy beach.
In a daze, Qingbai heard the sound of men drinking and laughing maniacally outside the tent. Qingbai opened her eyes, through the small windows in the open air of the tent roof, she could clearly see the stars in the sky, it should be night, thinking that Biqiu's coffin was still in the desert, Qingbai propped up her arms and turned over, only to find that an elderly woman in the tent was boiling medicine, and the crockpot hanging high on the fire rose one smoke after another. The woman broke off a branch, threw it into the fire, and said, "Are you awake?"
Qingbai asked suspiciously, "What kind of place is this, who are you?"
The woman continued to set up the fire, and did not look at Qingbai: "This is the Mengwu Tuoba Department, we are the masters here, but for tens of thousands of years, the land has been seriously desertified, turning the grassland with abundant water and grass into today's desert, and the tribe has been divided into several tribes, and some have moved outside Kyushu, and they don't know where to go." Some of them perished because of the war. Our one may be the only one left of the Mughal tribe!"
The woman brought the boiled medicine to Qingbai: "It's no wonder that the girl doesn't know who we are." Come on, drink the medicine!"
Qingbai looked dazed, but felt that this woman had a kind face and gentle words, and she must not be a bad person, so she picked up the bowl and drank it.
The door curtain of the tent opened, and a tall man walked in, leading a leg of mutton in his hand, without saying a word, he reached out to Qingbai's eyes, Qingbai was dumbfounded for a while, and looked straight at the man for a long time, a wide face plate, the distance between the eyebrows and the forehead is much shorter than that of ordinary people, high cheekbones, low nose bridge, flat chin, shallow eye sockets, tall figure, and muscular muscles. Qingbai then remembered that it was this man named Abelslang who saved him in the desert.
The woman said, "Abul, this girl may not eat meat, you better take it out and eat it yourself!"
Aberslang tossed the leg of lamb onto a plate on the carpet, glanced at the white, and walked out of the tent.
The woman smiled lightly: "Don't be surprised, girl, my son grew up on horseback on the prairie, and he can't compare to other men in Kyushu, he is this character." ”
Qingbai also smiled and said, "I...... I won't mind, thank you for saving your life. ”
"By the way, I don't know what the girl's name is, and from which tribe?"
"Blue and white...... I ......"
"Since the girl doesn't want to say, then I won't ask any more. ”
Qingbai picked up the sword on the side and prepared to find Biqiu's ice coffin.
A horn suddenly sounded outside the tent, and Qi Muge suddenly became alert: "Qingbai girl, don't go out of the tent, it must be the scattered foreigners who have come to grab water." ”
A woman ran in in a rage: "Madam, it's not good!"
Qi Muge said slowly: "What's the big deal, say it slowly." ”
Looking at the woman's expression, she was really frightened by what was going on outside, and she stammered, "Yes...... Poison...... Gu worm ......"
Hearing the word "Gu worm", Mrs. Qi Muge's face became nervous, and the half-folded clothes in her hand also stopped: "What? Gu worm! What about Abul?"
"Abel Shan Yu has gone with a few of Nakor and all the hunters to check on the danger, and he told me to take you out of here first. ”
That Ke'er, the meaning of the Mughal bodyguard.
Mrs. Qimuge's lips were tightly closed, and her eyes showed a hint of concern, and then she said to Qingbai: "Qingbai girl, quickly pack up your things, let's get out of here first!"
Qingbai didn't know how the foreigners who grabbed the water suddenly turned into Gu worms, but he felt that this matter was not simple, so he had to help Mrs. Qi Muge clean up the things in the house in a daze.
Gu worms, a kind of winged black ants, generally only appear at night, they tend to look for the light of the lamp, invade humans, once this long-winged insect enters the seven orifices such as human ears and nostrils or any part of the body, human flesh and blood will be eaten by them, and in the end only one skeleton can be left, no matter how high the cultivation is, as long as they encounter Gu worms, most of them are dead without a place to bury.
After thousands of years of fighting with Gu insects, the Mugh Tuoba naturally found some ways to deal with them, that is, to use the lamp oil refined from animal body oil as fuel, pour it into torches, and burn those Gu insects to death. But before exploring this way, they also paid a terrible price for it, and many of the Mughal Tuoba tribe also went crazy because of the poison in their brains, and finally either committed suicide because they couldn't bear the pain, or were killed by their own hands. Even Abslang's best Anda was killed by Abel by his own hands because of Gu poison!
Anda, the Mughal language, means brother of righteousness. I remember that a thousand years ago, they took people to the Karst Wind Erosion Valley to look for spirit beast bones, but they were besieged by Gu worms, and the few people who went with them, only Abel and Batu came back alive, but on the thirteenth day after returning to the Tuoba Department, Batu still died and was killed by Abel himself.
Once the Gu worm enters the body, if it cannot be treated in time, when the Gu worm mother has planted eggs in the flesh and blood of the human body, after fifteen days, the eggs will begin to hatch, and the human body will be eroded away by the Gu worm little by little, and when the human body completely becomes a skeleton, the larvae will also give birth to wings, fly out of the cannibalized human body, and continue to look for the next host.
In order to preserve the last bloodline of the Mughal Tuoba tribe, Abel could only burn Batu, who knelt in front of him and begged for death, to death with fire. Since then, the Gu worm seems to have evaporated from the world, and it has never appeared again, I never thought that thousands of years have passed, and the Gu worm has descended on the Mengwu Tuoba tribe again! It seems that the heavens are going to destroy this tribe with only a few dozen people left!
Mrs. Qi Muge fled overnight under the escort of her maid and four Na Ke'er, in order to prevent the Gu worms from discovering them, the accompanying family members were not allowed to hold torches, but the road in front of them was not easy to walk. Not long after he walked out, a horse was swallowed by a spirit beast, and when he saw the blood light, the Gu worms also smelled the smell of blood and swarmed towards everyone.
Seeing this, Qingbai shouted, "Follow me!"
After a few days of contact, Mrs. Qi Muge felt that Qingbai didn't look like a bad person, so she naturally trusted her, and then took the female children of the family and followed Qingbai towards the desert north sand sea.
Desert, vast, vast. There are no obstacles such as mud pools and dead trees, so it is much easier to walk. The horses of the Mughal Troops were also running at an astonishing speed, and it would not be long before they were able to break through the danger and reach safety.
Although Qingbai's mana is weakening little by little because she has opened her eyes to heaven, as an outstanding onmyoji of a generation, her foreknowledge and judgment in her heart are still as accurate as before.
Sure enough, when they ran towards the Mobei Desert, the black-winged Gu worms circling behind them gradually decreased.
Mrs. Qimuge got off the horse and asked Qingbai, "Who are you?"
Qingbai looked at the surrounding environment and also dismounted: "Yin and Yang Clan Priest." ”
Lady Qi Muge was a little puzzled: "Yin Yang Clan Priest?"
"Since Madame doesn't know, don't ask, you'll slowly understand later. Qingbai tied the horse's reins to a stone, "Alright, now that it's safe, let's wait here for Abel Shan Yu and them to come back." ”
The second half of the night in the land of Mobei was unusually cold, and the women and children who escaped from the Mengwu Tuoba tribe were huddled together, they stayed awake all night, without saying a word, but their eyes were still so clear, like the moon in the sky.
Qingbai wanted to leave them and go to find Biqiu's ice coffin. But when she saw the pigtailed children looking at her fixedly, she stayed.
As the sky began to lighten, several red horses ran from the end of the desert, and then raised a puff of dust.
One of Naker shouted, "They're back, Abul Shan Yu is back!"
But he suddenly stopped shouting excitedly......
When everyone looked towards the galloping horse team, they saw that there were only a few people left, which was a chilling number compared to the number of people who set off when they went to check on the Gu plague last night.
The horses were moving from far and near, and the blood on Ablslang's face became clear.
Gu insects that hadn't appeared for thousands of years, when they reappeared, they were much lighter and smaller than before, and their flight speed and attack power had also increased a lot!
That's right, they absorb human consciousness and some scattered spiritual power!
But in this case, unless someone voluntarily surrendered their spiritual sense, these black-winged Gu worms would not be able to absorb the spiritual power of the cultivators on their own.
