Prequel: The Secret of Clear Water City Chapter 11: Spirit Bamboo Worm
Time slipped away quietly, and the sun grew redder, hanging between the roof and the edge of the sky. After a while, the sunset gradually converged its light and became gentle.
At this time, the changes in Lingzhu Peak had just begun.
As the shadows of the trees swayed as if they had collapsed like an earthquake, the shadows of the trees were about to break through the ground.
In the drizzle, the mountains greedily dyed a thin layer of red under the sunset, and the branches spit out small shoots, and the mountain wind blew, and the shoots gradually turned into small green leaves, and the green leaves of the trees made a rustling sound in the breeze
The forest resolutely shook off the darkness of the night, and stood up majestically, covered in green.
The spiritual bamboos all over the mountains, as if reborn in the light of the sunset at dusk, one after another appeared one after another, looking far away, the green spiritual bamboos were like the ocean, connected into a piece. Lingzhu grows lush and exudes a pleasant coolness.
It was as if it had happened in an instant
Zhou Yusheng stood there sluggishly, unable to close his mouth in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.
On the other hand, Zhu Yin stood in front of this piece of spiritual bamboo lightly, his eyes lit up, and the vague sword intent on his body burst out again.
The long sword in his hand was horizontally in front of him, reflecting the sword body of the entire lush spiritual bamboo, and he held it in his hand towards the spiritual bamboo group, and he stood there alone, and he had the courage to meet thousands of troops.
"Senior brother, take a good look. As long as the branches of the spirit tree are not cut, these spirit bamboos will grow out again and again, when cutting the spirit bamboo, you must pay attention not to hurt the branches of the spirit tree, otherwise the spirit tree is completely useless. ”
His melodious voice came from afar, and I saw that in the shadow of the spiritual bamboo, the figure of Zhu Yin was free and shuttled among the spiritual bamboos, and the sharp sword light flashed like a crystal clear crescent moon sword light and sword shadow.
"Dharma Sword Technique!"
The speed of the sword is like breaking bamboo, hissing and breaking the wind, and like a dragon shuttling, walking in all directions, sometimes light as a swallow, pointing to the sword, sometimes suddenly like lightning, and the fallen leaves are collapsing. With that leaf not sticking to the body, he was able to maneuver in the Spirit Bamboo Peak.
"Bang!bang!bang......"
The sound of several trees cutting and falling down sounded continuously, and they slid down from the branches of the trees at a half-cut angle, and the spiritual bamboos flew and poured out like a shower.
In just an instant, hundreds of spirit bamboos were piled up under each spirit tree, and the bare spirit tree branches were pregnant with nectar that had always been crystal clear.
And Zhu Yin, who walked out of it, although he was holding a silver sword stained with emerald green, there was no trace of fallen leaves falling on his body, and he walked on this long ancient road, his expression was slightly cold.
He stretched out his long sword, his wrist flipped quickly, and the blade of the sword was facing the sky
In the final falling sound of the fallen leaves, as soon as it was closed, the sword light of the spirit bamboo, which was as thin as the wings of a cicada, flashed, and in a crisp sound of the sword falling, it was divided into two.
"Do you want to try it?"
When the sword was unsheathed, the serious look finally softened, but when the faint sword intent disappeared, his face quickly turned pale, obviously overexerting force.
He walked up to Zhou Yusheng, rubbed Zhou Yusheng's tight shoulders, and solemnly handed the scabbard in his hand to Zhou Yusheng, but when he grabbed Zhou Yusheng's body, he finally grabbed Zhou Yusheng's body tightly because he couldn't support it.
"If it were in normal times, I'm afraid I would have told you the truth of Bodhidharma's nine words a long time ago, just because you are not a disciple of the Purple Fire Concept, so I can't reveal the martial arts of the Honkan to you, how much you can comprehend depends entirely on your creation, but this is not a foul. He smiled stubbornly.
Zhou Yusheng stood in place and did not speak. Looking at Zhu Yin's expression inexplicably, the hand holding the scabbard tightened, and suddenly his expression was painful, and he felt a sudden burst of power in his body.
His body trembled, which made him, who could clearly feel Zhou Yusheng's body, raise his eyes and face a pair of golden pupils. is obviously a concerned and chaotic look, but Zhou Yusheng under those golden pupils is expressionless.
"What is this!"
In Zhou Yusheng's eyes, the pupils gradually faded into gold, but in his eyes, there was another scene.
His mind repeated the slow-motion demonstration of Takein's movements, each sword, every step, was clearly recalled through the memory in his pupils.
Just after the veins of the whole body reacted in Zhou Yusheng's body, Zhou Yusheng only felt a tremor in his body, and then looked at the Xuanlong Nine Turns, which usually needed to start, and actually infused internal force to the center of the palm to withstand the intensity evolution brought by the pupils.
This is too incredible for Zhou Yusheng, just when his body gradually got used to this powerful internal force, he spurted out a mouthful of blood violently, and the internal force in his body suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and as soon as Zhu Yin's body was soft, he fell down with Zhu Yin.
"Are you alright, junior brother. ”
Zhu Yin stood up shaky, grabbed Zhou Yusheng's hand and pulled it up heavily, Zhou Yusheng's body was light, and he stood up with him.
"I'm fine, senior brother, I want to try your swordsmanship. ”
Zhou Yusheng patted the weeds on his body and looked at him with some uncertainty, even if he didn't know where the power came from just now, but he knew that that feeling was definitely unattainable.
Zhu Yin glanced at him in surprise, making sure he didn't laugh or say anything, just patted Zhou Yusheng's shoulder lightly, and chuckled: "Try it if you want to."
"This sword is so heavy!"
Zhou Yusheng, who had not yet noticed the weight of the sword just now, lost the power that the Xuanlong Nine Turns brought to him, he dragged his heavy steps forward slowly, stopping every few steps to rest, take two breaths, and wipe away the sweat on his head.
The sword was on the momentum, and he gasped, and at the same time, his body secretly ran the Xuanlong Nine Revolutions, with static braking, with qi luck, the sleepy powerlessness in the meridians suddenly became abundant, he stretched out the silver sword in the scabbard, and at the same time, the green tendons of his limbs were spread, and his hands were instantly filled with strength.
He recalled the movements of Zhu Yin when he carried the sword, his wrist rotated slightly, and the silver sword also flashed as quickly as lightning, and the sword light flashed, reflecting the Lingzhu Peaks.
Only then did he follow the ancient country road. Placed in the bare spirit tree, continue to walk towards the depths.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
Those tiger-like roars. In the place where Zhou Yusheng was no longer visible, Zhu Yin's face changed, and the next moment he was already rushing into the forest, His expression became extremely solemn, and he kept shuttling through the forest, because he knew who the roar came from.
"The rest of your life! the rest of your life!" In the mountains and forests, Zhu Yin kept calling Zhou Yusheng's name, but the voice was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no response in the weird Lingzhu Peak, and even there, more and more roars of different degrees came out one after another.
"Spirit Bamboo Worm!" Zhou Yusheng stood there, staring at a strange monster that stood up not far away.
This beast is emerald green all over, connecting the backbone is a slender and long bamboo, the forewings are leathery, narrow and long, with many horizontal veins, the veins are ordered into a fine net, the front paws are mantis's hands, and the hind feet are like frog legs, a pair of eyes that are obviously larger than the width of the body, narrow and slender, at this time staring at Zhou Yusheng for a moment.
A wing, as thin as a cicada's wing, trembled slightly.
Just a few minutes ago, when Zhou Yusheng tried to cut down the first spirit bamboo, this monster that looked like a stick insect actually fit into the spirit tree motionlessly, if it weren't for the fact that his body sensed the approaching danger, he didn't even know that there was an eye next to him staring at him.
"Senior Brother Zhuyin said, this spirit bamboo insect is made of a hundred years of spirit bamboo, although it is good at concealment, extremely fast, but the attack is single, the aggression is weak, and there is a point that this body can't support, as long as the power of the spirit bamboo is slightly weakened, he will become a spirit bamboo again. ”
At the same time that the eyes of one man and one beast were looking at each other, Zhou Yusheng didn't even know who gave him the courage, and he was already the first to take the lead, and he took a step forward quickly.
This spirit bamboo insect is not weak, but it is obvious that the spirituality is not high, after Zhou Yusheng made an offensive posture, his arms drove forward, and his hind feet were bent to the limit, his body suddenly rushed straight out, and the leaves gently wiped the ground and fluttered out, and his body was like an arrow from the arrow to Zhou Yusheng.
This spirit bamboo insect obviously aroused an instinct as a spirit beast under Zhou Yusheng's several actions that were close to provocation, and its emotions would slowly develop from intimidation to attack, and they would face each other evilly.
"Bang!"
Just as Zhou Yusheng's fist was about to hit the body of the spirit bamboo insect, the green figure suddenly flashed, turning into a bubble and strangely dodging Zhou Yusheng's fist in place.
Just under the twisting of the body, avoiding Zhou Yusheng's fist, it spat out a ball of green blue light, densely scattered like a needle and thread, and at the moment when Zhou Yusheng didn't have time to turn his head, it was already stabbed at Zhou Yusheng's back.
He let out a sullen breath from his mouth, and as he endured the pain of eating flesh like an ant, he arched his arms and bowed his elbows in the direction of the shadow.
He believed that although he hadn't caught the body of the Spirit Bamboo Worm yet, he firmly believed that as long as the fist landed on the body, it would definitely not be able to withstand it.
In the air, following the inertia of the backward elbow strike, his body took advantage of the momentum to rotate in the air, and the other hand, which was like thunder, suddenly fell heavily from mid-air, his face was hideous, and at the same time, the hands that had infused the strength of his whole body were about to strike a fatal blow, and the green muscles were spread, and a pair of turquoise palms were like a tiger when he was angry, and the swollen fists were terrifying and terrifying.
"Roar, roar, roar!" A deafening roar buzzed in Han Li's ears, but fortunately there was no internal force, he only felt that his ears were in a trance like pins and needles for a few seconds, but the fist that should have landed on the ground stopped in mid-air.
Seeing this, Zhou Yusheng's heart sank, and the single hand that grabbed the hilt of the sword couldn't help but break out in a fine cold sweat, looking at the mana that could be urged after all, after all, he had too little experience in fighting people, and he was attacking completely by the limit of his body until now, he felt that even his breath was a lot heavier.
The pair of bodies that lost their weight and waved their arms heavily, and when the arms that were about to be cut off half, the golden purple light of the pupils reappeared, and they instantly broke free from the shackles on their backs.
But after looking behind him, there was still a shadow of a spiritual bamboo insect, and the bamboo forest that was still noisy was eerily quiet again.
"That's right, swordsmanship. The body of the spirit bamboo insect is too fast, and I may not be able to catch him with my current fist, Mr. Zhao once said that he would rather lose eight hundred to himself than to injure one thousand. It's a weird feeling, but it seems that as long as I seize the opportunity, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out. ”
He secretly calculated in his heart, just at that moment, the impending danger made the faint sword intent soar like boiling water.
"Dharma swordsmanship?"
"Senior Aunt Luoxue, for the rest of his life, he has entered the lair of the Spirit Bamboo Worm. ”
He gasped and exhaled, and ran out of the Lingzhu Forest all the way out of the Lingzhu Forest, his eyes were straight, and he muttered to himself again and again, shocked and frightened, and his legs did not obey the call, as if they were sifting chaff
In front of him, Luo Xue squatted there, but she was still beating the wooden fish again and again, and kept reciting scriptures in her mouth.
She frowned slightly, Qiong's nose twitched imperceptibly, her brows furrowed tightly, but she still looked indifferent.
"How will he go where. ”
Stunned by that indifferent look, he looked at Luo Xue, his mouth was also a little hesitant, and said, "Yu Sheng said that he wanted to try that set of swordsmanship, and I didn't think much about it at that time." But...... Converted to the current day, this is indeed the hundredth year, and those spirit bamboo insects should also come out to forage. ”
"What nonsense!" said a hint of anger on her face.
Zhuyin was stunned, this was also the first time he saw Luo Xue angry, he thought to himself that he was really good-looking people, no matter how angry he was, he was good-looking.
The beating of the wooden fish in her hand stopped, and she looked away in the distance, and a deafening cry suddenly sounded in the hazy fog as far as her eyes could see.
I saw that in the misty valley, a pair of hands could cover the wings of heaven and earth, puffing and fanning.
The fog that was obscured by the body gradually revealed the huge bird shadows in the valley as the air currents tossed.
The acid beneath the valley swirled around the mountainside, and suddenly flapped its wings and flew over the top of the highest mountain, its brown wings almost brushing the white clouds fluttering on the top of the mountain.
I saw that in the high sky of the night, a huge shadow hovered high in the sky, overlooking the earth, fluttering its wings.
"Sour He, you go and see Lingzhu Peak. The kid you said seems to be trapped there, and with your sense of smell, you should be able to catch the area where the spirit bamboo insects gather soon. ”
"Today's children are really uncomfortable. The shadow of the bird in the night sky flapped its wings a few times in anger to express its dissatisfaction.
Luo Xue slowly closed her eyes, smiled bitterly, and said, "Go quickly! It's not easy to explain with the view. ”
There was another rush of rapids, a suffocating sensation from the sky downward, and its jet-black and shiny feathers swept across the clouds like broken cotton wool.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!" The hands that felt the faint sword intent tried to grope for Zhu Yin's sword momentum at that time, and he looked anxious as he brushed the sword body, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell from time to time on his face.
Rumble!
The roar exploded, and an invisible shock wave suddenly spread towards the surroundings, and a strong wind swept away wantonly, and Zhou Yusheng was directly affected by the sword intent of the explosion, and the hands inserted in the ground were all mountains and rocks that cracked the ground and retreated backwards.
His body kept falling backwards, unable to stand on his heels, and although he looked embarrassed, his eyes were rational and clear.
"Dharma swordsmanship, I see. ”
The sword in his hand was gently lifted, and he turned to meet the sword light rustling of leaves on the sword body, and the sword arc that reflected the dazzling sword light could no longer catch his gaze, and disappeared out of thin air in the night sky vaguely.
"Left foot, right foot, right foot, right foot, right foot!"
His body moved mechanically, and every step that fell out of thin air was enough to be fake, and it landed on every regular line that he should have stepped on.
"Roar, roar!" In the silent night sky, the roar that made people can't help but chill down their spines came out strangely again.
The melody of a running sound tearing through the night sky makes the sound of the night sky like a filament harsh, which makes people feel manic.
At this time, a roar that was close at hand suddenly came, Zhou Yusheng's pupils contracted slightly, and his body turned around suddenly, but at this time, the speed of the body that could not keep up with the reaction was stiffened in mid-air like a lightning strike, and suddenly a palm knife tore the body and slipped down, and the back bone that was suddenly dented by a punch staggered the tip of the knife that was about to fall.
But Zhou Yusheng also fought back instinctively, the falling body suddenly stood up with the strength of his back, and the falling sword light attached to the slender body like a shadow, and the sharp sword light grinded his teeth and slashed downward.
A fierce chill tore through the hideous body under the night sky like lightning.
Kick, land, turn.
The blade had just hit the ground, and the sharp blade had cut through the solid shell outside, and in the air, it cracked in the face of the sword.
And that equally amazing muffled sound wiped the sword light and cut it in half, and the moment his body was about to fall to the ground, the silver sword that jumped down also glanced at the electric flint below, and his body quickly rolled in the opposite direction of the body that was torn apart from the spirit bamboo insect, and then, with the help of this opportunity, he also knelt up from the ground.
The detached skull rolled backwards and turned into a dead object with a separate head and body.
Just when Zhou Yusheng was glad to be alive, suddenly the pair of slender insect eyes that had lost their vitality gradually revealed their green pupils, and the slender eye arc grinned out a gap, and the cold flashed, and the closed lips, two green with a touch of light black green silver needles, at this moment, suddenly projected out.
The silver needle penetrated deep into Zhou Yusheng's back, and suddenly there was a stinging pain that became stronger and stronger, and the light black air mass seemed to come to life, spreading rapidly along the direction of the silver needle inserting into the muscle.
It's just that when he made the last counterattack and was at the end of his rope, after the last piercing roar from that mouth, there was really no sign of life, and his body turned into a disgusting green pulp and melted.
The world was turning upside down in front of his eyes, and the feeling of increasing discomfort made the tide rush in, and he felt that his eyes were dark and he fell.
At the same time, in the mountains and forests, more and more insects crawled towards the source of the sharp sound, moving forward one after another.
"This kid won't kill the Spirit Bamboo Worm, right? If I heard the distress signal correctly, it should have come from the south. If there is no one in the south, then it is impossible for these low-level spirit beasts with territorial consciousness to leave their own territory and go to someone else's territory."
In this overwhelming night sky, there seemed to be an inaudible murmur, and the wings spread out, pressing the heaven and earth above Lingzhu Peak and flying towards the south.
The grass and trees under the Lingzhu Peak are bent down, and the mountains and forests on both sides seem to be divided, divided into two.
The swift sound of the wind blew through the bare branches, and long shadows stretched out to the south. The emerald green and vast forest sea are faintly exposed, and the misty night sky is connected together, chaotic and faint.
"Takein, we'll have to go over and have a look. If the acid and the shot are made, the spirit bamboo of this Lingzhu Peak will be without grass for more than ten years."
I saw a faint sight on the side of the hillside, like an arrow shooting straight at the surface of the big insect.
She pinched the magic trick in her hand, quickly formed a lotus-like seal in front of her face, upward, and turned up the jade finger to the sky to make a lead, I don't know when she had sacrificed a silver sword, the whole body was snow-white, the sword was stained with a trace of frost, but the sword body had a pure white white phoenix, as if doing a trapped dragon fight in the ice, and really, the dense snowflakes were like sharp swords, cutting through the sky and falling from the sky.
A snow-white long sword, spiritually raised, as if alive trembling buzzing, a few transparent thunderbolts flashed in the sky, thunder flashed in her eyes, and the snow-white long sword pierced the sky with a "boom" and landed in front of Luo Xue.
She stood on it, stretched out her hand to pull up Zhuyin, her arm extended to the front, and the snow-white long sword carried her into the air, flying towards the Spirit Bamboo Peak.
Where did Takeyin really fly the sword, and at the same time, he was frightened and frightened, and at the same time, he galloped towards the Lingzhu Peak, which was even blurred, and even the scene was blurred, and he showed a surprised and envious expression.
Zhou Yusheng lay there, oblivious to what was about to happen around him.
I only felt that my body was burning like a fire, and the pain was unbearable, and the feeling went deep into my bone marrow.
Suddenly, there was a terrifying roar from behind, and I saw the swarm of Lingzhu insects crawling out of the mountain forest, with their bloody mouths open, as if they were searching for some prey, and they were crawling out of the mountain forest greedily and viciously, boldly as hungry as looking at a prey that had been determined.
They circled around a few times, sniffing at the green pulp that flowed on the ground, and their expressions suddenly became angry, and they looked at Zhou Yusheng, and at the same time let out the same roar as the last sound just now.
It didn't speak, just stared sternly with its eyes, which looked like they were about to shoot sparks!
The lonely eyes were silent, when was it discovered by the bright, hiding in the dark corner of Zhou Yusheng.
"Roar!" Suddenly, an angry roar came. Coming from above, the birdsong was like a warning, and when those spirit bamboo insects faced the birdsong, they fled in all directions without resistance.
I saw the head poking out of the night, and the six eyes looked at Zhou Yusheng at the same time, and turned over with their noses against Zhou Yusheng's body, and the bird falcon nodded on Zhou Yusheng's body, and the blue body immediately emitted a smell similar to burning.
"This kid is poisoned!"
Above, the snow-white long sword carrying Luo Xue stopped there, and she watched Zhou Yusheng's body react, and her face sank slightly.
"Sour with take him back. ”
