234|Looking for immortality
The white-bearded old man who was casting the spell felt that the cinnabar in his hand suddenly became extremely hot.
A sense of foreboding arose spontaneously in his heart, and before he could open his eyes, two little Taoist priests shouted in panic: "The golden net has been broken!" ”
"What?" The white-bearded old man suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, and sure enough, he saw that two huge holes appeared in the Jingang net that he had worked so hard to refine, and it suddenly turned from a supreme magic weapon that could net the heavens and the earth into a waste net.
"This, this—" In surprise, his hand shook, and the hot cinnabar fell one after another.
The rune array that was about to be completed was instantly shattered due to the scattered cinnabar.
The ground beneath his feet shook in vain, and the hazm-filled rift erupted with fiery molten lava.
Ren Keqing, who was on the incense, turned around when he heard the voice, and his gentle face showed a little questioning.
"Lord Taibao, I'm afraid that the enemy will be killed halfway." The white-bearded old man shook his sleeves and sighed, "It is said that this net that gathers the strongest qi in the world cannot be broken by monsters. ”
"If it weren't for the monster—" Ren Keqing pondered for a moment, and then his expression froze, but his eyes burst out with a different color. He got up suddenly, not even knowing that he had knocked over the teacup in the prince's hand.
The prince frequently looked at the poured teacup, and then frowned and said strangely: "Taibao, what's the matter?" Have you guessed who is holding us back? ”
"It shouldn't—it shouldn't—" Ren Keqing muttered to himself with a slightly confused expression, "Ji Liguo shouldn't be here—they should be in Luoyang—"
However, after all, these words were just self-comforting, and when the servants who stayed on the periphery rioted because of the demons who fled from the city, Ren Keqing deeply understood that he was a bad move after all, and asked Ji Liguo's gang to design it.
"Taibao?" Seeing that Ren Keqing's expression was unusual, the prince's gentle and affectionate face in the past showed a bit of hideousness and horror, he was a little at a loss for a while, and hurriedly leaned against the backrest and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Prince, don't stay here for long!" Ren Keqing suddenly grabbed the prince's arm, raised his foot and rushed outward, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to say, "Immediately send a letter to Jiao Niang and Wang Decai and his party, ordering them to take the soldiers to retreat quickly!" ”
"Yes!" The servants did not dare to delay, and hurriedly passed the message everywhere.
The prince was a little staggered by the pull, so he had to grab Ren Keqing's wrist with his backhand and said angrily: "Why do you want to retreat? I haven't found the art of immortality yet? Orchid will be back in a moment, and it's not too late for her to come back and talk about it! ”
"The puppet team plays the striker!" Ren Keqing turned a deaf ear to the prince's objections, and continued to order, "The half-demons and soldiers will take a back seat, and the snakes will stay with me and the prince!" The Jingang net has not been completely destroyed, and most of the monsters can be captured! While the Lord of the Three Paths has not yet escaped, let's quickly leave the Land of the Three Paths! ”
After speaking, he used his arm to force it, and he actually used brute force to urge the prince to get on the sedan chair.
The prince was quite unconvinced and blocked the side of the sedan door, and kept saying: "I won't go, I won't go, I want to live forever, I want to live him for thousands of years!" ”
"Prince!" Ren Keqing was so anxious that he couldn't wait to grow his wings like a bird, so that he could fly back to the mortal world immediately. But this is not vain, he can only force himself to calm down, "Wen Yu, who had previously provided us with a three-way terrain map, has other intentions, on the one hand, he helped us enter these three-way land, and on the other hand, he came to break our spells. He seems to be a little hostile to the orchid, and now that the orchid is gone and does not return, I am afraid that he has already fallen into his way. It's really not good to stay for a long time today! If we lose our lives here, where will we have eternal life? Moreover, although His Majesty refuses to abdicate the throne, he is already old, and he can not stand for three or five years. Why don't we go back and sit down in the dragon chair first. When the country is stable and there are many talents, why don't we have the strength to fight back here? ”
The prince asked Ren Keqing to say that he was a little shaken, and he was about to agree, but he was afraid that after he gave up this time, he would never have a chance to live forever.
"Prince! Don't lose a big deal because of a small thing! Ren Keqing replied again, "Do you know that sharpening knives is not a mistake for woodcutters?" Preparedness is the best way to avoid trouble. At the moment, we have even broken the back move, and if we don't leave, if we fall into the hands of that group of man-eating monsters, I'm afraid that you won't dare to think about immortality anymore, but just want to die quickly! ”
"Are those youkai really so scary?" The prince was frightened, and his will was not firm. He looked inquiringly at the white-bearded old man and asked, "Master, will we really be caught and eaten by the monsters?" ”
"Naturally." The white-bearded old man sighed slightly, "Tonight should have been an auspicious day for the old man to make great merits, but the result fell short, and it turned out that Wen Yu ruined half of the old Dao's hard work!" After I wait for my whole body to retreat, Lao Dao must ask that Wen Yu for an explanation! ”
Without waiting for Ren Keqing's instructions, he quickly stuffed a few treasures on the altar back into his sleeves, followed by the corners of his robe, and ran faster than the little Taoist.
No matter how reluctant the prince was, he had to obediently get into the sedan chair.
Ren Keqing rode a horse and followed closely on the edge of the sedan chair, and the group was fierce when they didn't come back, and they fled in disgrace.
When Jiao Niang, who was far away in Xishan, got the message, she was holding the treasure and magic weapon coaxed from the little Taoist priests and throwing it into the spiritual vein.
The tightly wrapped mysterious man was standing beside her at this moment, and when he saw the paper crane in her hand, he said in a dumb voice: "Don't stop!" The spiritual veins have dried up, and if they are not stabilized before dawn, the entire land of the Three Paths will be destroyed. At that time, don't talk about immortality, I'm afraid that there won't even be time left to snap your fingers. ”
Jiao Niang was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat again, she shook her shoulders, and then according to this person's instructions, she threw down all the rare treasures in her arms one by one.
Treasures are like molten slurry, like ice and snow on fire, and they will melt without a trace. Each time a treasure melts, the fading golden red of the spiritual veins will be as vivid as the light returning for a moment.
There was a faint terrible scream over the cave, and the little Taoist priests gathered around and whispered uneasily.
They were terrified by the proximity of death, but they could not think of a way to escape.
When the cave shook again, they looked at the girl and the mysterious man with regretful eyes.
The dense gaze full of fear, remorse and resentment made the lady look like pins and needles, and she looked down unbearably at the utensils in her hand, and the silver glittering outer wall crookedly reflected her slightly wolf-like face.
She looked at it blankly, then looked at it again as if she had found something.
On the silver outer wall, a distorted, ugly, wrinkled old face was staring at her with wide eyes.
Her heart suddenly froze, and even her breathing stopped.
"The bitter fruit of what you eat today is the cause of the evil you have sown in the past." The mysterious man on the side raised his hand on Jiao Niang's scattered bun, and the vicissitudes of life implied compassion in his voice, "Don't repeat the mistakes of the past." Do what you have to do! Liberation should be so. ”
Jiao Niang's whole body trembled, and she immediately threw everything into the molten slurry without thinking about it.
"Hahahaha-" she stood up frantically and smiled weirdly at the mysterious man, "Master-Master-do you see Nu Nu Mei?" ”
Her eyes were full of fear, as if the other party only needed to say a word to kill her. She folded her hands and knelt feebly in front of the mysterious man, as if begging for mercy.
The mysterious man sighed, and she lifted her low-hanging cloak, revealing her gorgeous face.
"Master—Master Deadwood—" Jiao Niang humbly hugged Deadwood's thighs and begged in a crying voice, "Give me the elixir of immortality?" Mermaid meat can no longer save my face, give me the elixir of life! The kind that the prince and the orchid are seeking, you know, and you will know! Master, you have promised me! If I can help you, you will give me the elixir of life! You promised—you promised me—"
Her increasingly poignant voice was as terrifying as a terrible ghost who had died unjustly, and the little Taoist priests in the distance were all frightened by her.
"I know the method of immortality, and it is now far away in front of me." Deadwood pointed to the spiritual veins at their feet with his green and jade-white hand, "As Orchid said, this is the spiritual vein that can help you get rid of mortal wombs and live forever." But you must know that this spiritual vein is the lifeblood of the land of the three paths, dissolving flesh and destroying bones, don't say you, even if I go down, I will also die. ”
"Then why Tsing Yi can!" Jiao Niang suddenly remembered Tsing Yi, so she asked with resentment in her eyes, "Why can she be the only one?" ”
"It's naturally because—" Deadwood laughed, "She's Taiyin—"
Tsing Yi opened his eyes from the chaos, and what caught his eye was Kurosaburo's handsome face that was slightly worried.
He seemed to have been waiting by her side for a long time, and even his eyebrows and sideburns were faintly frosty. But he just smiled, and the frost was as white as ice and snow melted.
His black pupils, which were as dark as the abyss, had completely turned into dark golden pupils, and at a glance, they were even more dazzling than the sun and the moon.
Curious, she leaned over his face to get a closer look at his eyes.
The clear sound of chains suddenly sounded with her movements, and she was in a state of confusion, and she woke up from the fog that she had just woken up.
Hei Saburo took the initiative to approach her, and said with a slight smile: "You are awake, I also said that I just needed to hurt you excessively-"
Tsing Yi stretched out his hand and pressed on Hei Saburo's scattered chest, and his cold face as cold as snow faintly revealed a little resistance.
Hei Saburo didn't expect this, and he couldn't react for a while.
Just now they spent the first time in the cave room sweetly, why did Tsing Yi refuse to wake him up as soon as he woke up?
"Tsing Yi ......" Hei Saburo thought about it, and said that he had gone too far before and made Tsing Yi angry, so he quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Fang Cai-it's mine, no, I shouldn't have pestered you like that-"
"I'm hungry and thirsty—" Tsing Yi said coldly, "and if you get any closer, I'll be eager to eat you." However, I can't get what I want, so don't tease me! ”
As she spoke, she felt a twitch in her belly, and her hunger poured out like a tide.
A large amount of fluid suddenly gushed out from under her tongue, and her body was cold, and the feeling of emptiness lingered.
The prison demon rope flew up as if it had sense, and then looked at it solemnly as Hei Saburo looked at it, and leaned into the ground with a trembling sound.
Tsing Yi wrapped her arms around herself, and the rich aura poured into her body along the chains.
For a time, the mountains were empty, and the wind was raging.
Hei Saburo's eyes flashed, but he guessed the reason, and immediately changed back to the prototype of the human-faced snake body without thinking about it.
He wrapped his tail around Tsing Yi, then leaned over and opened his mouth, spitting out a fiery red fire essence from his abdomen.
The fire essence was the size of a fist, and its whole body was shiny, and it wandered around Tsing Yi several times. Immediately, as if it was attracted by something, it rushed straight towards Tsing Yi's abdomen.
Hei Saburo let out a low roar, his figure flashed, but he leaned over and opened his mouth, and swallowed the fire essence back into his stomach again.
At the end, the corners of his mouth curled, but he showed an expression of ecstasy.
The celestial phenomena suddenly changed, and the sun and moon appeared in the sky at the same time.
The molten lava in the center of the earth boiled endlessly, and even the spiritual veins everywhere also surged rapidly.
The water of the Santu River suddenly rose, and the ghosts and ghosts were frightened by the light of the sun and the moon, and they all sank to the bottom of the river in a hurry.
Busy killing the enemy, the brute bull slashed the puppet's body with a sword, and she looked up at the pair of sun and moon in the sky, and a smile of relief immediately appeared on her blood-spattered face.
‘
Wen Yu, who was aware of the vision, hurried with his clansmen.
I saw that everywhere they looked, there was scorched earth. In the scorching fire, countless chains entwined dry bones, intertwined sideways between heaven and earth.
Through the dense chains, they saw that the big monster with a snake face and a snake body was hiding Tsing Yi in his snake tail with a sense of protection.
The face of Tsing Yi, whose hair was flying, was as white as frost, and his half-closed eyes revealed an incomparably cold light.
She covered her waist and abdomen with one hand, and stretched out towards Wen Yu with the other. His lips pursed slightly, as if calling him.
The big monster looked back as if he was conscious, and when everyone looked at that face, they immediately recognized Kurosaburo.
Wen Yu looked at Hei Saburo and Tsing Yi, who were blocked by chains, with a condensed face, and did not move for a while.
Fang Zhou, who was standing behind him, reminded with a stern expression: "Ah Lang, the bloodline in the little lady's body is really too domineering, if you let it continue to erupt, I'm afraid the little lady will not be able to stand it." ”
"It's a shame." The clansmen who followed behind were unanimous and regretful, "It's rare to find a clansman as talented as the little lady, if you can lead our clan with Ah Lang, in the future, we don't have to live in the land of projectiles, but we can also crisscross the five lakes and seas, and live as we like!" ”
"Ah Lang, the little lady and you are both half mortal blood." Ignoring the words of the clansmen, Fang Zhou continued to say to Wen Yu, "It is the blood of the Ji Li Kingdom in your body that is even more unstable. Great power often comes with great danger. Today's little lady, as a woman of Ji Li Kingdom, has a spell that only a man of Ji Li Country can have. There is a way that is abnormal, that is, it is demonic, and you must not be blinded by momentary power. ”
"Of course I know that." Wen Yu said in a low voice expressionlessly, "However, she wants to spend her life with the demon, if she has no power to protect herself, her future life is afraid to be worried." ”
Kurosaburo not far away was light-eyed, but he listened to all their words one by one.
He leaned his head and gently rubbed the flying green silk of Tsing Yi with his chin in the air, and the back was solemn, and the long tail flicked, but it was as fast as thunder and lightning that broke all the chains around him.
Tsing Yi let out a cry of pain from his throat, and then his eyes changed, but a circle of blood appeared.
Seeing this, Wen Yu couldn't hesitate any longer, so he had to sigh and say, "That's it, this kind of Cheng dù is enough." As I said before, prepare for the blood sacrifice! ”
"Yes!" Everyone dispersed in response, but they surrounded Hei Saburo and Tsing Yi in the middle in a neat and orderly manner.
Their bloody heads were solemnly placed on the ground, and with the viscous blood, they drew ancient and intricate patterns on their arms and throats.
The sound of chains burst into rhythmic clash like taiko drums and bells. They provoke wild sacrificial dances like sturdy and agile beasts.
Under the light of the sun and the moon, Wen Yu walked among the blood and dry bones like a god descending from the sky.
Tsing Yi looked at his slightly fluctuating amber eyes ruthlessly and unconsciously, and only then said softly: "Brother, save me-"
