Chapter 9: The Worm Demon
Tianlong Temple, the main hall of Yuanfu Palace (two hundred years ago):
"Today's discussion, why is Hua Xia still not here?"
The head coach had a headache when he saw Hua Xia, and he didn't know where he was hiding to make some shocking things. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing that the master was looking for Hua Xia, his master Lingxi turned his head and asked, "Hua Zhong, where is your brother?" ”
"Brother's comprehension of the Zixu Dragon Teng Formation is already at a critical juncture, and he has no time to take care of other things."
The person who speaks has a face like congealed grease and eyes like paint. She looks like a daughter in a boudoir, and her demeanor is very beautiful. If you don't hear the sound of talking, it is indeed difficult to distinguish between male and female, and live up to the name of the flower.
The head of the sect slapped the wooden chair angrily: "Isn't it more important to create a formation than Tianlong's view?" ”
"When my brother said that Zixu Longteng, he can see the past, know the future, know the past and the present, and can peek into the world!"
"Bastard! What kind of formation-breaking method he created himself, did he really think that he could go against the sky? The beard of the palm of the sect trembled slightly, "If he really has this ability, this position of the head of the sect, he will sit!" ”
Lingxi said on the side: "Why don't you go and find him quickly, and you won't listen to what the master says?" ”
"Disciple doesn't dare!"
Hua Zhong lowered his head and raised his hand, wanting to exit the main hall, when he met Hua Xia striding in.
The appearance of the comer is no different from that of Hua Zhong, and anyone can tell that they must be twin brothers. If there is only one difference, it is the expression and demeanor. Hanaka is always unhappy and angry, dripping into ice. Hua Xia has an elegant smile, like a water lily that quietly blooms after the summer rain, with crystal raindrops, containing the confidence to penetrate and conquer everything.
"Sect Master, Elders, Master. The disciple is late! Hua Xia bowed.
The ability of flowers and summers, the past and the present, Tianlongguan is obvious to all, even the head of the sect has nothing to do with him.
"It is said that you are like a god, can you guess what is the so-called discussion in the temple today?"
The envoy of Da Yan had just left, and he could make the emperor's cronies hurry to the Tianshan Mountains, and all he had done over the years was just one thing.
Hua Xia didn't understand, why these two words became a knot that the Dayan Dynasty could never untie. He slowly raised his head and said, "Blood Demon! ”

Half a quarter of an hour ago, the open space at the entrance of the village:
Yuan Xing collapsed to the ground in a burst of exclamation.
Granny Ma shook her head: "Qi is weak and weak, and it is not worthy of divine power." ”
Old Man Jiang stepped over, holding the pulse with one hand and pressing Yuan Xing's middle man with the other. "Changsheng!" Jiang Ye shouted without looking back, "Come here and take a hand!" ”
Chang Sheng squatted on the ground, and Jiang Ye helped Yuan Xing on his back.
"Let's go to the pharmacy first." Doctor Jiang instructed.
"You can't go yet!"
Granny Ma chased Chang Sheng with the animal bones, but was blocked by Jiang Ye. The lean old man grabbed the bones of the beast that fell from the sky with his left hand.
"Have you made enough trouble!!"
With a thunderous roar, a stream of air spread out from the soles of Jiang Ye's feet, pushing the dust and fallen leaves to slowly spread around. Old Man Jiang was really full of energy, and the entire clearing was quiet.
A moment of silence accentuated the faint sound. The vibration of the beast bone knock just now was transmitted from the hand to the eardrum, as if someone was whispering in the ear, which couldn't help but make Jiang Ye's scalp tingle.
Granny Ma grasped the lower end of the animal bone and felt a warm flow to the back of her hand, down her wrist and all the way to the cuff. She leaned over her nose and sniffed it, and the thick smell of blood stimulated Granny Ma's blue and white eyes to shrink violently.
Jiang Ye also found blood, he took off his hand to check his palm, and it was safe and sound. Looking at the animal bones again, the blood actually flowed out of the cracks in the bones.
The dull thunder of the sky rolled in from afar, as if the mouth was covered by thick clouds, and it could not make a sound.
"Dry bones and blood, unheard of! When there is a vision in the sky, there will be demons! Granny Ma raised her head to the sky, clutching her bleeding bones in a panic, "A catastrophe is coming!" Disaster is coming! ”
……………………………………
At night, the mountain behind Taolin Village:
The disciples of Tianlongguan have tracked the whereabouts of Yuan Xing all the way, and this time they should have also come to the Beizhan region. The last time I fought with the Swamp Dragon King, my true anger was full of anger, and I must have exposed my location. Yuan Xing speculated that they would be three to five days away from Taolin Village at most.
That night, Yuan Xing made a square frame with bamboo strips, pasted paper, and made a sky lantern. Burning pine resin is placed on the chassis of the sky lantern, and the lamp flies into the sky with hot air. Yuan Xing tied a bird made of rune paper to the top and around the sky lantern, and after the pine resin burned to a certain extent, he lit the primer, and the bird burst out with sparks and scattered, and suddenly drew a piece of fire in the night sky.
"What are you doing?!"
Su Wuqian suddenly appeared behind Yuan Xing, startling Yuan Xing. Is this woman a cat? Always silent, elusive.
"Don't sleep at night, sneakily set off fireworks?" Su Wuqian looked at the fireworks in the sky and approached Yuan Xing, "Wang Shaoxia is really good Yaxing." ”
"Spread your palms out." Yuan Xing folded a flying bird and placed it in Su Wuqian's palm.
The yellow rune bird was lifelike, and I don't know if she was wrong, but the bird twitched as if it really came to life. "Ahh Su Wuqian snorted lightly, and the Fu Bird flapped its wings and jumped up from her hand, slamming towards the sky lantern. A magic seal activated, and the sound of thunder resounded in the sky. Thousands of five-colored fires are scattered across the night sky. For a time, the smallpox bloomed in countless months, and the five auspicious clouds surrounded the peak. The stars scattered when they fell to the ground, and the rain whirled into the air.
Su Wuqian looked up at the sky obsessively, this was the most beautiful night sky she had ever seen in her life.
"Who the hell are you?"
A few days later, as long as the people of Tianlongguan inquired, they could naturally find out Yuan Xing's whereabouts, and their identity naturally could not be hidden. It's better to just make things clear here.
"Below is the former Tianlongguan disciple, Yuan Xing. Because he violated the door rules, he has now been expelled from the mountain gate. ”
When Su Wuqian heard this, she was dumbfounded, and stared at him with wide eyes: "You are Yuan Xing?" How can it be! The star of the stars!? ”
Looking at Su Wuqian's eyes full of suspicion, he added, "It is Yuan Xing, one of the four sons of Xuxian!" ”
didn't expect this to come out, but it actually caused Su Wuqian's burst of laughter: "Hahahahaha!" You're a bragging card better than I am! ”
"This seal is called 'Stars Like Rain', and it is the seal of the law that represents my identity. Within a few days, the people of Tianlongguan will be looking for the seal. ”
Su Wuqian laughed even harder, and her waist couldn't straighten up.
"Poof, hahaha! You just took a talisman and put it on display, do you think I can't see it? Su Wuqian took out the blue talisman from her arms, patted it and said, "It seems that no one has one." See! This is the real power of the talisman! ”
Yuan Xing smiled but did not speak, he did not interrupt Su Wuqian, but listened quietly under the dazzling night sky.
"Besides, those of them who have attained the Tao are the closest to the immortals. It should be more mysterious, fairy, lonely and cold, with arrogance and disdain in his bones, overlooking the wind and clouds. How can you be a mountain village like you...... With a sword box on his back, do you really think of yourself as a hero? ”
As if feeling that what she said was a little too much, Su Wuqian looked slightly apologetic, and suddenly fell silent in embarrassment.
"I ...... I mean, Taolin Village is a demon, if you are Yuanxing, how can you be helpless? At first glance, you are just entering the industry, and you are embarrassed to say that such a boast will only be full of flaws! ”
Yuan Xing smiled bitterly, I'm not omnipotent......
"I didn't expect to be recognized, Miss Su is really higher than me." He found a comfortable position and lay straight down, his hands under his head. Blowing the breeze and enjoying the starry sky at night, so uncomfortable. "Don't tell lies in front of real people, I am indeed a second-rate charlatan, a complete charlatan"
"Actually, I'm pretty much the same as you."
"I can see that you are a senior in this area." Yuan Xing turned his head and said, "Do you know what kind of spell that talisman is?" ”
Su Wuqian asked with a thoughtful look: "What about yours?" What the hell is that star like rain. ”
"To put it bluntly, it's actually the technique of Tianlongguan asking for help."
The girl in Tsing Yi jumped up: "Asking for help? You're tipping the whistle! Are you crazy? ”
"The matter of Taolin Village is not something you and I can solve...... Feed! Where are you going? ”
"It's really coming, aren't we going to roll up and leave sooner?"
Yuan Xing got up and chased after Su Wuqian and grabbed her arm. At that moment, a child's shrill scream rang out in the village.
"Not good! Something happened in the village! ”
……………………………………
Entrance of Taolin Village:
By the time Su Wuqian arrived panting, many people had already gathered at the entrance of the village with torches. Jiang Ye was checking the body of the child who had just screamed and asking about the situation.
Yuan Xing rushed over, landed on one knee, and slid towards the child without stopping by inertia, grabbing his shoulders with both hands.
"What did you say you saw!?"
The child was frightened and said tremblingly, "Two ...... Uncle Niu...... One before the other and one after the other ......". The immature finger pointed to the dirt road in the village.
"It's still in the village!" Yuan Xing let go of the child and took a torch from Chang Sheng's hand.
Granny Ma was busy for a day, but she didn't find anything, and it turned out that it still became Uncle Niu.
"Ahem...... Now what? Chang Sheng wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth that was spewing out of his mouth due to coughing and asked.
"Don't be afraid, everybody. Before he goes far, be sure to find him. Otherwise, no one will be able to sleep tonight! If anyone finds those two Uncle Niu, don't act rashly, just shout loudly! Miss Su will get rid of the demon by herself! ”
"Hey...... Don't make your own decisions! Su Wuqian frowned and complained to Yuan Xing.
After listening to Yuan Xing's explanation, Chang Sheng took the lead and ran in the direction pointed by the child, and bumped into Village Chief Qiao with a sad face. The old man sat down on the ground with his buttocks, and Changsheng, who was sturdy on weekdays, was also hit on all fours. Village Chief Qiao slapped the loess with his hands, hammered his chest, and cried heartbreakingly: "My nephew is out of breath!" ”
Su Wuqian said in disbelief: "How is this possible! I had just cast a spell on him in the morning! ”
Yuan Xing helped Qiao Lao up and explained to Su Wuqian, "The nectar spell is useless, this is not an ordinary injury or illness. I'm afraid you've wasted a precious talisman. ”
Regarding the death of Qiao's old nephew, the biggest reaction is probably Jiang Ye. He seemed to have lost his patience, starting with the nearest person next to him, Jiang Ye roughly grabbed the collar of the villager, brought the torch close to the other party's face, and looked at them one by one.
"Doctor Jiang, what are you looking for?"
"I'm going to see who's going to be next!" Jiang Ye did not slow down the movements in his hands.
Jiang Ye has been fighting the disaster of the white fog alone for three months, and the large number of patients and repeated symptoms are enough for Old Man Jiang to grasp some useful information.
A considerable number of villagers in Taolin Village have been eroded by white worms, and the symptoms are not obvious, and as long as they have taken Cordyceps repellent, they can generally be cured after three to five days.
However, the strange thing is that every few days, there will be a villager who has recovered, and his condition has taken a turn for the worse, no matter how Jiang Ye treats him, he has always been unable to recover. Every time that person dies, the next healthy villager will fall ill and die. It's like reincarnation, one after the other......
Law. That's right, this is a pattern of onset. In order to confirm this law, Jiang Ye once used a special method to forcibly save the life of a critically ill person for a month. And during this month, there really wasn't a second person who got sick. It wasn't until the person's death that another patient appeared.
After listening to Jiang Ye's story, Yuan Xing was even more puzzled.
"There was one exception, and he wasn't in that rule at all."
"Uncle Niu!" Yuan Xing didn't wait for Jiang Ye to finish speaking, and blurted out.
"That's right, Niu Ben's condition has never been cured, and no matter what the prescription, his disease has progressed in the opposite way of others. When others are critically ill, he turns the corner. In the month when no one died, Niu Ben became unusually weak. At that time, I didn't delve into the connection, and I didn't expect that he was not Niu Ben himself! ”
Su Wuqian clapped her hands with her hands: "This makes sense, if a person dies, the demon lives, and everything is the monster!" As long as the monsters are removed, the trouble of Taolin Village can be solved. ”
"Ahem...... In this way, finding the monster is the most important thing at the moment! What are you doing in a daze? The torch in Chang Sheng's hand swayed, and he was also anxious.
Yuan Xing cast a meaningful look at Jiang Ye, walked over and patted Chang Sheng's shoulder, and took the opportunity to take a closer look at Chang Sheng's eyes: "It's not busy looking for Uncle Niu's traces, there are still others to do in this matter." Can Brother Chang go to the pharmacy and get the Taiyi Sword Box for me? ”
"Sword box? Right! Good! ”
Wang Yuanxing is finally going to use his real skills? Chang Sheng was very excited, full of promises, turned around and ran.
……………………………………
Taolin Village, Jiangye Pharmacy:
Chang Sheng always felt that he couldn't breathe in his chest, and he was uncomfortable. He pushed the door into the room, first sat down on the stool and slowed down, and then when he was about to get up, his legs were already weak. Chang Sheng held on to the table and moved to the side of the Taiyi sword box little by little.
The moment he reached out and touched it, the pure yang righteousness was like a piece of red-hot iron, and it was hot and shivering. "Ahhh His eyes became more red against the white spots as he cried out in pain. Chang Sheng only felt furious, grabbed the bench and smashed it into the Taiyi sword box again and again.
"Brother Chang!"
Su Wuqian, Yuan Xing, and Jiang Ye then rushed to the pharmacy. I saw Chang Sheng's face that became hideous at some point.
Yuan Xing waved his hand and hit Chang Sheng's left neck vein, and the weak Chang Sheng couldn't bear this light blow, and his exhausted body fell to the ground.
After Dr. Jiang took the pulse, he sighed and said, "The white worm invades the chest and brain. The disease has reached a madness, and the disease is progressing at an unbelievable rate! In less than an hour, all the internal organs will be eroded, but I'm afraid he won't be able to survive tonight! ”
"How could a person who was fine just now be like this......" Su Wuqian covered her mouth and said.
Without waiting for Yuan Xing and the others to discuss again, the shouts in the village broke the tranquility of the village in the past.
"They've found out!"
"Doctor Jiang, Miss Su, Brother Chang will be handed over to you!"
……………………………………
Taolin Village, dirt road in the village:
Yuan Xing carried the Taiyi sword box on his back and followed the guidance of the villagers to the dirt road where Uncle Niu was found.
There were indeed two identical figures standing side by side in front of them.
"Everybody, stand back!" Yuan Xing pulled out the Eight Desolations and approached Uncle Niu step by step.
But the two in front of him, which one is the monster? He doesn't know Granny Ma's method of identifying bones and demons. Yuan Xing guessed that the insect demon would react differently to the firelight, so he had to throw the torch in his hand over as a test.
The torches fell between the two, and the two Uncle Niu were ready to avoid it early. They are like puppets being pulled together, their movements are the same, left and right, and they are as coordinated as if they were looking in a mirror. After being frightened, Uncle Niu suddenly pounced on Yuan Xing together.
Yuan Xing didn't expect this to be the case, the two Uncle Niu couldn't tell the difference, and they were both attacking themselves. Before figuring out the true body, Yuan Xing didn't dare to make a heavy hand. He dodged left and right, and the three of them became entangled.
It's not a way to go on like this, so why not put it to death and live again. Yuan Xing inserted the Eight Desolations into the soil and let the two of them attack him, he wanted to see what this monster was capable of.
Uncle Niu pressed Yuan Xing's arm and grabbed his neck. The brutal force made the fingers sink into the flesh. On the hands of one of them, white worms kept crawling up Yuan Xing's body, trying to invade the wound.
Yuan Xing raised his foot and kicked away another Uncle Niu, snatching his sword and stabbing the person next to him in the abdomen. Instead of bright red blood, patches of white aphids flowed from the wound.
That's it!
Yuan Xing raised his sword and slashed at the insect demon, and the Eight Desolation Sword passed through his body without resistance, and the entire Uncle Niu instantly turned into a sea of insects and scattered in the air, and then reunited his human form in the air.
Yuan Xing threw the Eight Desolations into the night sky, but the insect demons gathered and were invisible, and the sword was useless.
Dense white worms descended from the head, attached to the surface of Yuanxing's skin, wrapped it inside, and turned into a white worm man.
"Eight Desolations!"
Yuan Xing and the Eight Desolation Swords shifted their shapes and transposed, and they escaped from the encirclement of demon insects.
The spell of the Eight Desolations of the Void relies on the strength of the Eight Desolations Sword itself, and does not require Yuan Xing to consume its own spiritual power, so even if Yuan Xing loses all his mana at the moment, he can activate the Eight Desolations of the Void and change his shape.

Taolin Village, Zhang Orion's house:
Empty, empty knocking sounded, Zhang Orion opened the door and saw that it was Old Man Jiang standing outside the door.
"Doctor Jiang, how could you ...... at this time?"
"There's something big going on in the village, you know?"
"Yes, I heard that the monster has appeared again!" Zhang Orion looked back at his wife and children, "I also want to contribute to the village, but there are old and young people in the family, and I have to stay to protect them!" ”
"It's easy to make a difference, and it won't take you too much time. A bow, an arrow is enough. Jiang Ye took out a red arrow from behind him, "This arrow is called the Red Blood Arrow, which can help you shoot demons." ”
……………………………………
Taolin Village, dirt road in the village:
Zhang Orion hurried to the dirt road with a hunting bow, and Yuan Xing was confronting the insect demon at this time.
According to Jiang Ye's instructions, Zhang Orion bent his arms and bows, stuck the red blood arrow on the string, and aimed it at the insect demon to wait for the opportunity.
When the insect demon transformed into a human form again and gathered to look like Uncle Niu, the red blood arrow galloped out.
The dirt road in the village was dim, and a red lightning whistled past, hitting the insect demon directly, and suddenly burst out with a burst of fire! The shocked Yuan Xing took a few steps back and avoided the boiling heat wave by falling to the ground. The white worms that had not had time to scatter were engulfed in the fire and turned to ashes in an instant.
Yuan Xing turned around to find the direction where the red light came from, but there was no one at all. He can't care so much, and it is even more important to check the real Uncle Niu now.
Niu Ben's physical condition was very bad, his heartbeat was so weak that it was imperceptible, and the heaving of his chest almost stopped. Yuan Xing pressed Niu Ben's abdomen with his hands, and the vicious disease in his body had even caused the internal organs to be displaced and his function to be lost. To put it mildly, Yuan Xing wondered why Uncle Niu was still alive at the moment?
