Chapter Seventy-Nine: Existence is a Threat
A leaf is blind, and Mount Tai is not seen.
Xue Zicheng doesn't know how to set up a spirit wall, but he has such a magic weapon on his body.
The branches and leaves are just ordinary, and a plum blossom pierces the sky diagonally, looking bright and dripping, as if it has just been plucked from the branch.
Its name is Blindeye, and as long as it is slightly stimulated with aura, it can form a circle within a small area around it. In this circle, everything that happens will be downplayed, so that no matter how high the aura is, it is impossible for anyone to detect what is happening inside.
"Originally, I prepared this to guard against the monks of Zhao State, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now." Xue Zicheng sighed slightly, "The general wants to know the origin of that summer flower?" Actually, you can guess it. ”
"That person is coming for Xie Xiaoman?" Huan Wen's face was gloomy.
"Yes," Xue Zicheng was pale and a little haggard. He lost too much blood last night, and although he tried his best to raise himself and ate a lot of pills he prepared, it was still impossible for him to recover overnight, "The general should be able to remember that I once said that this Xie Xiaoman will not live for too long." ”
Huan Wen had heard Xue Zicheng say this before taking a concubine, but for Xi Chao, it was the freshest remark.
After all, he has had many favors from Xie Xiaoman, from his son Xi Changshuo to his wife Liu, if it weren't for Xie Xiaoman's actions, many things would have become another picture now.
"What the hell is going on? Xie Niangzi's age ......" Xi Chao was slightly panicked, and this panic was finally suppressed behind the words.
"It's not about age." Xue Zicheng shook his head, "Xie Xiaoman's body." There is a soft taste. ”
"What's that?"
"It's not a thing, it's a god. The great god of Kunlun. Xue Zicheng said seriously.
"I still don't understand." Huan Wen frowned.
Xue Zicheng nodded: "In this world, there are not many people who know about this matter. As for me. It's just that I happened to have experienced some things, so I just know a little. ”
After all, he was injured yesterday, Xue Zicheng couldn't help coughing when he said this.
The sound of coughing, accompanied by the bleak autumn breeze outside the tent, sounded a bit desolate.
"Legend has it that Rouran is a thousand years old. Although he is called a great god by the people of the Kunlun lineage, in fact. He is not a god, but a man. An ordinary practitioner at first. ”
Xi Chao frowned deeply: "Are you kidding?" Even the head of the sect is only 200 years old. I've heard that ascension is just one step away? In this world, how can there be thousands of years old? Even if there is cultivation to rely on, such a thing as a heavenly tribulation will already be unbearable! ”
"Lord Xi is a person who understands. Merely. Rouran's bloodline is indeed different from ordinary people. There is also a reason why he was able to stay alive and not die because of the catastrophe. Xue Zicheng smiled palely, "Every once in a while, he would disperse his spiritual power into seventy-seven parts, and his body would only retain one of them. Lord Xi should have heard that although the Heavenly Tribulation is a Tribulation, it is only for cultivators who have reached a certain level of cultivation. Ordinary people don't have it. ”
"I know," Xi Chao nodded. "The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. I heard that the last time the head of the courtyard was subjected to a catastrophe, a green mountain outside Changsha City was cut to the ground. ”
"It's not a flat bottom, it's a ditch." Huan Wen said, "The moat outside Changsha City today is built based on the ditch back then. ”
The three of them fell into a slight silence in the emotion of the forces of nature.
"And then? Then why hasn't Rouran, who has lived for thousands of years, been hacked to death, or has she soared to become an immortal? Huan Wen asked in a deep voice.
Xue Zi admitted: "It is precisely because every once in a while, he will scatter his cultivation. Although the catastrophe gradually formed, no one could be found at the last moment, so the thunderclouds had to quietly disperse. ”
"He ...... this method," Xi Chao's voice was hoarse.
"It's a deception." Xue Zicheng smiled desolately.
"In the Central Plains, there are monks who do this?" Huan Wen asked sensitively.
Xue Zicheng shook his head: "Rouran's bloodline is different from ordinary people, this kind of thing, in this world, only he can do it." Dispersing cultivation for this kind of thing is already laborious enough in itself. And the most terrible thing is when you take it back. He scattered his cultivation, and when he took it back, he couldn't completely separate the other party's cultivation from other things. Therefore, it is not so much that he is taking back his cultivation, but that he is eating people. ”
"It's just that cannibalism is not a simple thing. People's memories, moods, feelings...... Seven emotions and six desires, everything will be devoured by Rouran and enter Rouran's own body. If you don't have the most powerful state of mind, Rou Ran is likely to be swallowed by these thoughts. Especially, when he 'eats' the first 'prey'. ”
"Divided into seventy-seven parts, the cultivation is all equal, even the one that Rouran left in his body is the same. In other words, after eating the other party, there is no difference between the strength of the opponent's mind and Rouran's own mind, and there is no absolute chance of winning such a life-and-death battle. ”
"Of course, this kind of odds will become bigger and easier after devouring more and more cultivation. But for ordinary people, such a mental war is not much different from experiencing a catastrophe. ”
Xue Zicheng explained, he looked at the light emitted by the "blinding eyes", faintly in a daze, as if he remembered something.
"In other words," Huan Wen's voice was still quiet, "Xie Xiaoman's body also contains one of the seventy-seven cultivations. The reason why she was dying before you was ......"
That is to say, her body has exuded a soft aura. Since I can detect it, Rouran can also detect it. Xue Zicheng coughed twice, "So I asserted at the time that she was about to die." It's about to be 'eaten' by Rouran. ”
"But she didn't die, she lived well."
"Indeed, so I thought it was strange, but after seeing the summer flowers, I guessed a little." Xue Zicheng smiled, looking pale and weak, "It's just that this kind of idea is a little unbelievable, and even I don't dare to believe it." ”
After saying this, the three of them fell silent for a while.
In this world, there are many kinds of silence, and there are many different reasons.
Xue Zicheng's silence stemmed from incomprehension. Xi Chao's silence stemmed from shock. And the reason for Huan Wen's silence is much more complicated.
Huan Wen stared at the "barrier" not far in front of him, and his heart was like a pool of spring water that had been blown away, making waves.
Outside, the sound of soldiers packing their bags had become louder and louder, and the neighing of horses and human voices were intertwined, and at this time, through the linen tent, there was a sense of alienation that seemed to be a world away.
The wind was strong on the riverside, and the bleak autumn wind sometimes lifted a corner of the tent curtain, revealing the reddish earth outside, and blowing in a little dampness.
There were also guards standing next to them, and generals waiting not far away.
They knew that General Huan was deliberating, so no one dared to come forward and disturb them.
"That summer flower ......" finally broke Xi Chao.
He didn't finish the sentence, but the other two people understood what he meant.
"There are four methods under the Rouran seat, spring, summer, autumn and winter." Xue Zicheng nodded, "That's the girl, it's the summer, the summer of the summer flower." ”
Xi Chao felt that his voice was very tight: "Seventy-seven pieces, four Dharma protectors." Could it be that all these things of searching for fragments of cultivation are all done by the four of them? ”
Xue Zicheng shook his head: "Not really." Rouran is known as a great god, and there are thousands of believers, how can this kind of thing be done by the Dharma protector himself? This is the reason why this thing in front of me is quite weird. ”
Xi Chao's face was slightly pale, he remembered Xie Xiaoman's kindness to his family, and remembered her current situation, he was silent for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were still bright.
He glanced at Xue Zicheng and was faintly angry: "Zicheng, since you know the identity of the Xia Hua girl, why do you want the general to risk his life!" What if something really happens? ”
Xi Chao's words were harsh, and Huan Wen had no choice but to come out to help Xue Zicheng relieve the siege: "Guest, I am going by myself, and it has nothing to do with Zicheng, besides, isn't it okay." ”
Xi Chao glanced at Huan Wen and did not speak, but his eyes revealed a fierce light of "not taking an example".
Huan Wen shrunk his neck and laughed twice.
"Zicheng, you too, why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier? Since Xie Xiaoman and Xia Hua are dangerous people, they shouldn't let the two of them stay in the army! General, please give them the order to leave! Xi Chao had a serious expression, stepped forward, and slammed Huan Wen to the ground.
Huan Wen calmed down.
"Guest, I remember that you also said yesterday that Xie Xiaoman is your wife's life-saving benefactor, and he is kind to Pegatron, and he will repay him in the future." Huan Wen looked at the mountain and river map hanging on the side, and his voice was quiet, "Is this how you repay it?" ”
"Xie Xiaoman's favor to me is a favor to me." Xi Chao stood up and replied resolutely, "But now, the consequences she has brought may not be good for the entire army." I, Xi Chao, am my husband at home and a strategist in the army, and what I have to do is, of course, think about the whole army! General, this unit is your descendant, do you want to let so many brothers who have been with you for many years of birth and death receive a threat to their lives for the sake of a woman? ”
Xi Chao took two steps forward again, his eyes as tough as a knife: "Please give the order of the general to expel the women in the army!" ”
"Hey! What are you doing? There are a lot of people waiting for you out there. ”
At this time, Xie Xiaoman suddenly showed his head from outside the door curtain.
She was smiling and relaxed, but her pale complexion and dark eyes made her look a little tired. (To be continued......)
