Chapter 9 The human heart is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant
The real sun in the sky had set in the west, and Yu Liren saw that the woman at the top of the city wall was still standing in the wind, not moving. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The sunset sank, and the heavens and the earth were so dark that they couldn't see their fingers for a moment, and then the waning moon rose from the east, waving a faint light.
The moment the sky and the earth were dark, Yu Liren suddenly tensed his nerves, he felt an inexplicable threat, in his sight, he saw the figure on the city wall moving, and there was an inexplicable mournful cry in the silent space, and the cold wind came from the forest and the clouds, with a fresh smell of blood that could not be ignored.
He jumped up the city wall, looking into the wind, his brows furrowed deeper, and at the end of his sight, a large black oppressive unknown thing with a terrifying aura swept from all directions like billowing smoke, a large number of monks flew in front of this unknown thing, and the light of the spell brought brilliant colors to illuminate half of the sky.
The castle is located on the west side of the floating island, and a black unidentified object on the west side is about to cross the border and invade the city. Because it was a little closer, Yu Liren could already see the true appearance of the unknown thing, it was a black and deep smoke, as if it had life, constantly wriggling, surging towards the city.
When Yu Liren saw the white clouds around the floating island during the day, he already felt a slight strangeness, and a trace of indescribable danger was pierced in his heart, and now he immediately understood that it was the white clouds that looked pure and ethereal in the white that became a threat in front of him.
At this moment, the figure in the afterglow slowly moved, and then quickly flew towards the west of the city.
Gai Die, who was originally sitting on the tower, suddenly became solemn when she saw the smoke, and her spiritual sense opened to the extreme, and she found that some monks in the city were ready for battle, while some monks were stunned and froze in place.
Gai Die didn't have time to think about it, judging from the fierce and fierce posture of this smoke and constantly devouring the monk, it couldn't be a good thing. She took the frightening drum, the drum hammer in her hand slowly fell, and the deep drum sound resounded out repeatedly, resounding throughout the city, and the voice of Gai Die sounded in the mind of Brother Jier: "Fellow Daoists, the matter is urgent, we need to unite as one, please take the city as a base and spare no effort to defend this city." ā
To defend this city is to defend your own life. This is a sentence that Gai Die did not understand.
At the moment, most of the monks didn't notice that Gai Die could use the method of sound transmission and tantra that only high-level monks could use, but there were also a few monks who noticed this, and they had a reasonable explanation: Gai Die had already entered the primordial infant stage with one foot, and it was possible to use sound transmission to enter the secret method.
Of course, this is not the case, the difference between the realms is not so easy to cross, and the method of transmitting sound into the secret involves divine consciousness, usually only the Yuan Infant can start refining the Divine Consciousness, even if both feet enter the Yuan Infant Stage in the Jindan Period, as long as you have not really become a Yuan Infant Monk, it is useless.
However, Gai Die can use the method of transmitting sound into the secret, but it is not an extremely special and complicated thing, it is related to the cultivation method of Miaoyinfang.
What Gai Die said was the thoughts of the monks at the moment, this danger is coming, if they don't unite together, I'm afraid their lives will not be guaranteed, and some of them have used the teleportation jade slip, but none of them have been teleported out.
On one side, endless black smoke chased the monk, and the monk who was chased was engulfed in black smoke and then burst into a blur of flesh and blood, while on the other side was the only life-saving talisman - the teleportation jade was really unusable as rumored, all of which completely pushed the monk with a glimmer of hope into the abyss of despair.
Of course, most of the monks are determined people, and the monks who fall into the valley and cannot get up due to despair are still a minority, and most of the monks rise up to resist after being low and desperate.
Gai Die's words invisibly carved out a possible safe place for them, which was the city. The meaning of the word city is defensive, and the city gave the monks a helpless sense of trust at this moment, so all the monks stood on the city wall in unison, whether it was useful or not, and threw their spells towards the black smoke that was about to come not far away.
The monks who came from afar saw that the monks in the city were all standing on the city wall, and naturally joined the ranks, they had approached the black smoke, and knew that they had found a spell that could destroy the black smoke, but the black smoke was pouring endlessly, so it seemed that the spell had no effect.
Everyone is on a suspended island in the vast sea of clouds, the island is circular, the west side of the island is close to the cliff of the sea of clouds, so the black smoke in the direction of the west city is faster than the other directions to approach the city wall, and the monks on the city wall keep retreating in order to maintain a safe distance from the black smoke, except for one person.
The deity stood on the city wall, as if she had been left behind, she stood still, but the monks who rushed into the city were particularly dazzling.
Yu Liren and Yang Tao, who was carrying Fu Qian, followed behind her, the two of them failed to understand the essence of the black smoke, but they had witnessed the horror of the black smoke engulfing the monk and the monk bursting into a cloud of blood mist, so they naturally retreated as the monks retreated, and Yang Tao saw that Zheng Wan had no intention of retreating, so he left Fu Qian and wanted to step forward.
Yu Liren held her down and said: "Zheng Guan's ability to shrink the ground into inches, the speed is comparable to that black smoke, if you step forward, it is you who is in danger." ā
Yang Tao frowned, "Brother Yu, Zheng Daoyou can't die, I still have something to ask her." ā
Yu Liren's face was solemn, "She will never die so easily, let alone kill herself." ā
Yang Tao's face was melancholy.
When the black smoke was about to cross the line of the city wall, a bright light suddenly appeared on the edge of the city wall, and this light formed an inverted bowl-shaped defensive cover, covering the top of the city, and the black smoke hit this defensive cover, and could not invade this defensive cover.
Countless monks breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at this inexplicable defensive cover, only to see that there were several particularly conspicuous lines of light on this light curtain-like defensive cover, as if they were gliding irregularly, and occasionally the same symbol-like painting appeared.
The deity stood on the city wall, expressionless, looking up.
After a moment, she withdrew her gaze and focused on the black smoke an arm's away, the shield was on her and the smoke of the black smoke, and she could reach the smoke if she could reach through it if her hand could pass through it.
The deity stretched out his hand and was looked at by the monkless. The name of Zheng Guan, the magic queen, has long been resounding in the world of cultivating immortals, and the monks present know Zheng Guan nine times out of ten.
When they saw her raise their hand, a bad thought inevitably appeared in the minds of the monks, that is, they were afraid that this magic queen would destroy this defensive shield, but most of the monks did not dare to approach this magic queen.
Fortunately, the magic queen only pressed her hand weakly against the defensive shield, I don't know if she meant it or if she couldn't penetrate it.
At this time, the black smoke had already surrounded the entire city, and the defensive shield emitted a soft light, so that the monks who were besieged would not be in the dark.
And beyond this layer of soft light, there is an impenetrable billowing smoke, which makes people's scalp tingle.
And in the west of the city, not all the monks did not dare to step forward and approach Zheng Guan. Among them, there was a monk with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he flew to the city wall with an excited smile on his face, "Zheng Daoyou......"
If Zheng Guan's third consciousness is here, he will definitely recognize this person, and he will also respond to him, this person is not the clear appearance of one of the four holy monks of the White Horse Temple, but at this time, a black hair grew on the top of his head, coiled into the back of his head.
But at this moment, it was the deity who occupied the body, and the reaction she gave was a trick to shrink the ground into inches, and in an instant, she was outside the zhang, avoiding Qingxiang and stretching out the hand that wanted to pat her shoulder.
While Qingxiang hesitated, the deity had already made a slow movement, slowly moving outside the defensive shield, centered on the contact points of her hand, and the defensive shield formed a slightly brighter circle of light around it within half a zhang.
Seeing this scene, the monk raised his heart to his throat, God knows if anything will happen to the defensive shield under this hand, but no one dares to act rashly.
The hand of the deity seemed to touch a film, and the soft golden light lit up at the contact point, and with a gentle push, the hand did not encounter too much obstacle, and passed through the defensive cover, and the moment the fingertips touched the black smoke, there was a force that rushed into the craziness from every pore of every inch of skin, and the ordinary body could not bear such a power at all, even if it was a water body protected by runes, it was the same as the following scene: the flesh and blood were blurred!
The deity did not stop stretching out his hand, and a palm stretched out, all of which burst.
The monks below were all shocked, and the demon queen Zheng Wan was crazy and wanted to self-destruct.
Yang Tao wanted to step forward, but was held down by Yu Liren again, and heard him say in a deep voice: "Look! ā
Yang Tao had no choice but to stay where she was.
In the blink of an eye, the deity had stretched out an arm, and the end of that arm had become nothing.
In the eyes of the cultivators, her hand was only above the elbow.
And in the eyes of the deity, that cloud of black smoke was some gray, a gray with a hint of familiar energy. At the moment of the tentacle, she seemed to have a sense, and wanted to use this familiarity as a breakthrough to interpret this energy, so she kept reaching out to feel it, but she didn't find the real result, the only thing she found was that this black smoke seemed to be somewhat similar to the enchanting magic barrier in the Bitter Sea and Stone Land, but it was different.
The deity retracted his hand, and below his elbow was nothing, and his illusory body even unconsciously simulated flowing blood, broken blood vessels, and Morimori's white bones. But the black smoke did not spread from her arm to her body, the moment she stretched out her hand, the defensive shield blocking the black smoke was not destroyed by her, her hand was penetrated, the defensive shield still existed, and it played its role between the flesh and bones in her arm, preventing the black smoke from spreading into her body and bursting her.
"Zheng Daoyou, what are you?" Qingxiang frowned, seeing the bloody severed limb, he felt that his stomach began to churn again, and the reason why it was because he had seen others burst into a cloud of blood mist before.
The deity didn't react, she looked up at the defensive shield, motionless, like a pine on a cliff, and nothing outside could affect it. Qingxiang approached her slightly, and she automatically withdrew some distance, not close, not far, just leaving an insurmountable distance.
When the inexplicable black smoke was blocked by the inexplicable defensive cover, all the monks breathed a sigh of relief, but then endless troubles followed.
The questions that came to me at a critical moment came madly in the moments when the mind relaxed a little, and these questions all summoned the fear of death.
The city, where thousands of monks gathered, where you could see people and feel the aura of monks without raising your eyes, fell into a near-dead silence in an instant.
