Chapter 174: On the banks of the Canglan River
In the moonless night sky, the stars are getting brighter and brighter. The gentle wind blew the old tune sung by the maiden.
The two slender figures on the altar of the god of flowers are clasped step by step. Every gesture seems to come from the ethereal song.
You don't have to move mechanisms, runes, props, or even spiritual power. Just by singing and dancing, you can trigger an ancient array. In Su Jinge's opinion, this is not much different from the Arabian Nights. Well, just because science can't explain it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Things that do not conform to the laws of the immortal cultivation realm also do not mean that they will not work. In line with this principle, Su Jinge sang every syllable of the sacrificial song with awe. With 12 points of caution, every movement of the festival dance is done almost perfectly.
The sky is vast, and the galaxy is vast. There is no night breeze between heaven and earth, and it seems that this ethereal ancient tune is left. There were only two people singing, their voices were not very loud, and they were almost scattered by the wind. But the tune still floated strangely and tenaciously into the sky.
Gradually, Su Jinge sensed that there was a force surging around his body. It seems to spring out of its own cavity, and it seems to come from somewhere between heaven and earth. This force gathered more and more, and became stronger and stronger, and soon formed an invisible wind vortex. When Su Jinge and Ying Tao Zhenren finished dancing and pinched the middle fingers of both hands to drop blood on the altar, the power suddenly retracted and disappeared on the altar along with the four drops of blood.
The wind turned violently, and the surrounding aura began to become chaotic, as if a new order was rapidly being formed.
Su Jinge's voice was almost drowned out in this loud noise, "But it's done?" ”
Ying Tao Zhenren looked around and said, "It looks no different from what is recorded in the ancestors' notes." It should have been. - Take care all the way. ”
Su Jinge nodded, said "cherished", and threw out the gourd and flew towards the Hundred Flowers Valley. When passing by the sea of flowers in front of the ancient building, he didn't make any pauses, just lowered the gourd, rolled up the little green donkey and Wu Niang with spiritual power, and quickly flew out of the valley.
After leaving the valley, Su Jinge did not leave in a hurry, but stopped in the air and quietly watched the changes in the Valley of Hundred Flowers.
The wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the aura rioted. Wu Niang and the little green donkey were also frightened, and it was rare to stand quietly on the gourd.
Finally, the wind stopped and the clouds dispersed, and countless fragrant flowers flew out of the Valley of Hundred Flowers and poured into the sky. The stars dimmed their light. It was pitch black in the sky. After two breaths. The sky lit up with a star, and then one after another. The sky is still full of stars, and the night breeze is warm and soft. As if nothing had happened. But the Valley of Hundred Flowers, which was originally in front of him, disappeared without a trace. There is only a vast wasteland left, and those fragrant flowers that have fallen back to the earth. Fluttering down.
"Lord. Master. Wu Niang was dumbfounded. At this moment, Fang finally found his voice, "What happened?" ”
"It seems that the mountain protection array of Baihuamen has indeed been successfully opened."
"Can this be a mountain protection array?!" The little green donkey shouted out one step ahead of Wu Niang, "I'm also a knowledgeable donkey." I've never seen a sect's mountain protection array like this! ”
"The world is so big, there are many things you and I haven't seen before." Seeing that the big array was successfully opened, Su Jinge didn't stop any longer, turned his head and flew quickly in the direction of the Canglan River.
The Canglan River flows as in the past, bounded by Jingzhou, from rapid to slow, from turbidity to clearing. The difference is that the atmosphere on the riverside is no longer as prosperous and lively as in the past, and it is depressed and deserted everywhere. Even the pedestrians on the road were silent.
In a small tea shed built on the right side of the river in Canglan, there is a group of demon cultivators staying.
If it is not disguised, the difference between demon cultivation and Taoist cultivation is still very large. Not only is the aura on the body different, but the appearance and outfit are also very different. Even mortals who have not cultivated can tell at a glance. Because of such a difference, the woman sitting under the tea shed at this moment became particularly eye-catching. This woman is tall and has phoenix eyes, a simple bunch of green silk, and her whole body exudes a sassy atmosphere. Except for the looming demonic energy, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a normal Taoist cultivator. However, no matter how low the cultivation level is, Ren also knows that this person is definitely not a Taoist cultivator. Her face is even recognized by a child who has just been drawn into her body. This is the first Saint Venerable in the history of the Banished Yuan, and now the common enemy of countless monks in the Zhongyuan Continent - Su Qingxue.
At this moment, Su Qingxue was looking intently at the tea bowl in her hand, and the red-haired demon cultivator sitting opposite her showed a nonchalant look at the tea on the table. The former master of the exiled abyss was watching with great interest the battle between the two demons on the Canglan River.
Among the two Taoist cultivators, one was an older man who had cultivated in the later stage of foundation building, and the other was a young woman who could build a foundation. And the one who fought with them was a demon cultivator who had cultivated to a demon infant who was close to it. This demon cultivator could easily end the battle, but he suppressed his strength, playing with the two Dao cultivators on the opposite side like a cat playing with a mouse.
The red-haired demon lord looked at it for a while before retracting his gaze, and raised his neck to drain the tea in his hand, "Kang Zhen really listened to your words and went to practice controlling power." ”
Su Qingxue's eyes were still fixed on the tea bowl, and she never raised her head, only replied lightly: "Not only Kang, but Brother Chiyan, you also have to learn to control your own strength." ”
Chi Yan said nonchalantly: "I'm not arrogant, I take your words as an oracle." The stronger the power, the better, so why bother to control it. ”
Su Qingxue raised her eyes, looked at Chi Yan and said, "Brother Chi Yan still thinks I'm playing tricks. ”
Chi Yan smiled: "Isn't it? ”
Su Qingxue shook her head, but she didn't mean to explain, "Brother Chiyan might as well give it a try, and when you can control the power as you want, you will know if I am playing tricks on you." ”
Chi Yan laughed a few times undeniably, turned to the river and shouted, "Kang Zhen, it's almost done." Let's go as soon as Bian Rui arrives. ”
"It's just a group of remnants with low cultivation, and Bian Rui hasn't come back yet." Kang Zhen responded with him, raised his hand lightly, and swung out a black qi to hit the two Dao cultivators.
Kang Zhen thought that his blow could kill these two people in one fell swoop. But he didn't want the older male cultivator to seem to have waited for a long time, and jumped into the air and blocked the blow with his body. At the same time, with a relieved face, he shot a golden light towards the young female cultivator. Under the golden light. The nun disappeared from the river in the blink of an eye.
He was stunned for a moment, then flew sharply to the southeast for several miles, and grabbed his palms in the air. The nun who had just disappeared suddenly appeared in his hand. Kang Zhen returned to the tea shed, threw the woman to the ground, and asked coldly: "This kind of talisman is not something that ordinary casual cultivation can afford, who are you?" ”
The woman didn't hear it, and stood up with her hands and feet together to look at the river, and when she saw the old male cultivator already lifeless in the river, her face was stunned at first, and then boundless grief and anger rushed out of her cavity with a heart-rending "Daddy".
Kang Zhen frowned. Stretching out his foot, he kicked down the nun who was about to run to the river. To prevent her from running around again. Kang Zhen simply stepped on her firmly with one foot, "Talk back!" ”
The woman didn't seem to hear it, but just blindly screamed at the corpse of the elderly male cultivator in the river.
"It's noisy." Chi Yan said impatiently: "Don't ask anymore, you can think of it as a member of the Seven Great Sects with your toes." - That's amazing. I was able to get here. It's a pity that it didn't work. Even if they let them all pass. Baihuamen also no longer exists. ”
Hearing this, he was about to exert his strength to end the nun's life with the noisy sound she made. I only heard Su Qingxue's cold voice sounding behind her: "That's it, let her go." ”
For this decision. I can't understand it. But he also obediently raised his foot, "Get out." ”
The nun did not immediately get up and run to the middle of the river, but she fell silent. Watching the body of the older male cultivator slowly drift away with the river, he suddenly got up as if he remembered something, and rushed towards Su Qingxue, who was ten steps away from him.
Ten paces away, she only took two steps before she was trampled under her feet again.
"Look for death!" Kang Zhen squeezed out two words from between his teeth, and looked at the female cultivator at his feet with a look of disgust. When he was about to regain his strength to trample her to death, several extremely lethal spiritual power vortices suddenly erupted around her, and at the same time, a huge spiritual energy came from the east and rushed in front of him like a whirlwind. Knocked him to the ground in an instant.
Kang Zhen quickly judged that the Dao cultivation that suddenly appeared was in the early stage of Jindan. With his cultivation, it was difficult to detect and prevent it in advance, but why didn't Su Qingxue and Chi Yan stop it? Kang Zhen looked at Su Qingxue and Chi Yan with questions.
Chi Yan didn't mean to explain at all, and Su Qingxue's attention was no longer here. She looked at the suddenly extra Jindan female cultivator in front of her, and said with a slight smile: "Sixth sister is not going to say hello." ”
Although Su Jinge's eyes kept looking at Su Qingxue, as if he had all kinds of emotions, he didn't mean to answer. Chi Yan sat with his shoulders crossed and just watched idly, and Kang Zhen also stood quietly aside. None of the other demon cultivators spoke out. All around, there was only the sound of flowing water and the river breeze.
A moment later, it was the young Tsukiji nun who reacted first. She seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw, and desperately clenched the corner of Su Jinge's skirt and cried: "Little Liu, Little Liu!" No, no, Uncle Mingxin. Please save my father, save my father. ”
Su Jinge was shocked by her sudden outburst of emotion, "Your father? ”
"My father is in the middle of the river, please save him, save him."
Su Jinge looked towards the Canglan River, but saw that there was no trace of Consul Zhang on the river. Chi Yan kindly explained: "It's already dead, so you don't have to work hard." Let's reply to your sister's words first. ”
"Uncle Mingxin, please save my father for the sake of the same family, please save him." The young Zhuji nun let go of her hand, took two steps back, and kowtowed desperately to Su Jinge. She seemed to use all the strength of her body on the kowtow, and her forehead touched the gravel on the ground, and there was a muffled "bang" sound. Within two or three strokes, blood was already visible on his forehead.
"Zhang Meiren, you get up for me!"
Zhang Meiren didn't hear it, and just blindly kowtowed and begged. Su Jinge was furious, stepped forward and pulled her up suddenly, "Calm down!" ”
Zhang Meiren stagnated and stopped speaking. She clenched her hands, the tears in her eyes drooped widely, and her biting lips oozed blood.
"Friends?" Su Qingxue's unique cold voice sounded. She didn't add a prefix, but Su Jinge also knew that she was asking herself.
"On the contrary, instead of friends, there are old grudges."
"Then why did you put yourself on the hook to save her?"
"I don't want to save her, not at all. It's just that I can't turn a blind eye. ”
Su Qingxue was not surprised by this answer, "If you are in a different position today, she may not necessarily save you." ”
"Whether she will save me or not, that's her business. Whether I can save her today or not, that's my business. ”
Su Qingxue raised her hand to refill a bowl of tea for herself, "You are not saving people, you are sending people to death." - With your ability, you can still quietly break into the encirclement I have laid down. You have come from the east, and there is only one possibility,—— you were in the Gate of Hundred Flowers. The people I sent are overdue, and you are walking in such a posture, then. ”
Hearing her say this, Su Jinge generously admitted: "That's right, I killed it." ”
"What did you say?" Kang Zhen on the side couldn't hold his breath anymore and took a step closer to Su Jinge.
Regarding Su Qingxue's judgment, Chi Yan has never doubted. He wasn't nervous about the life and death of those demon generals, but said, "This little girl can't do it alone, there must be other Dao cultivators coming in." I'll find out for myself. ”
"You don't have to go. My sixth sister is not an idle person. Su Qingxue stood up, walked in front of Su Jinge, stared at her eyes and said slowly, "Do I have anything to do with you?" ”
"Never."
"Then why are you going against me?"
Su Jinge said, "You are the Demon Realm Saint Venerable, and I am a Dao cultivator. ”
Su Qingxue seemed to have heard some surprising joke, and laughed out loud, "What did you say?" ”
In Su Jinge's impression, the expression on Su Qingxue's face has always been light. I've never seen such an emotional expression on her face. This made Su Jinge pause for a moment before he replied seriously: "You have a different position from me. ”
The amusement on Su Qingxue's face became a little stronger, "I have never been unsettled with you, so why do you have a different position?" Don't you also think that Taoist cultivation is right, and demons and demons are wrong? Without waiting for Su Jinge to speak, Su Qingxue said again: "Demons, Dao, and demons, in the end, all you have to go to is one place." It's just that the methods are different, but they just want to distinguish between good and evil. For demon cultivators, wouldn't the Taoist cultivators who enslave or even kill their clan be even more unbearable than the demons and humans, and even more intolerable to the world. ”
"Natural selection, the killing of animals by man, and the predation of animals on species weaker than it, are all natural laws. There is nothing wrong with people, there is nothing wrong with demons, and there is nothing wrong with demons. Everyone has their own position. Su Jinge paused, and then said, "Fourth sister, you are a human race. ”
"So what? Whether it's a human or a demon, it's no different if I'm still me. Su Qingxue took a few steps closer to Su Jinge, "I only live for myself, not those ridiculous rules." Is that wrong? ”
"In my eyes, what difference does the fourth sister make between right and wrong? I'd like to know — why are you talking to me about this? (To be continued.) )
