Chapter 73: Bat Boy vs Brother Xiao Bodhisattva
In the dense forest, no one knows, it is dim and dark.
The sun in the west is like being covered by an unknowable barrier, and the sunlight is strangely distorted in the sky above the forest, and then it seems to be refracted as if it is being refracted, unable to penetrate and dispel the darkness in the dense forest. Only the hazy firelight, out of nowhere, seems to be radiating in this strange place, so that this strange place will not reach out and lose sight of the five fingers.
The chirping of cicadas and birds seemed to be completely shielded from the outside, and the dense forest was dead silent. There are seven more corpses, in a circle in the shape of petals, these corpses are all young girls, six of them, the neck can be seen by the needle and thread, staggered mottling, the other, from the corner of the mouth sewn, the upper and lower jaws that were originally torn apart, were forcibly sewn together, at a glance, hideous, terrifying, extremely strange, like a legendary ghost.
The bodies of these girls are all with their hearts facing inwards and their heads facing outwards. Around them, there are no insects, and on their heads, there are no birds, like a sandwich between the underworld and the yang, and there is no living thing to be seen, and there is no dead soul to be seen...... If there really is a so-called underworld in this world.
Only a beautiful-looking, but gloomy-looking woman walked around the corpses.
There are words in her mouth, and the sound she makes seems to be able to penetrate the void, sometimes sonorous, sometimes feminine. Around her, the space seemed to flicker with tiny black cracks, with black tongues of fire, which burst out from inside from time to time and shrank back.
Suddenly, the beautiful woman slashed at her wrist, so red that mysterious blood flowed down her wrist, as if she had come to life, and swam to the body of one of the young girls. The corpse whose blood had dried up was triggered by a mysterious energy in its body, and with a snort, the girl's corpse burned like this.
The red and mysterious blood, like the head of a fiery serpent, crawled with the fiery thread to the next girl, followed by the next. It crawled over the corpses of each girl, igniting the remnants of the sacred blood in their bodies, and after crawling around, all the girls were like wax people, burning fiercely, forming a circle of fire.
The flames rose high, like a dancing queen of fire, dancing in a circle to dance the ancient blessing dance. The beautiful woman...... The Illusory Moon priest of Zoroastrianism, outside the ring of fire, bowed down reverently, and recited the teachings of Zoroastrianism with the most humble gesture. The ring of fire scurried back and forth, whirring, bang, something exploded, but nothing changed around it.
The priestess's body was lowered: "Welcome to the Lady." ”
The flames that burned on the bodies of the maidens swished and converged towards their center. The form of an old woman, with these fires as her body, appeared strangely. The bodies of the girls have been burned to ashes at this time, and no matter how much the body of a person is burned, it is difficult to burn so completely, even if there are no bones left, but this incredible scene, at this moment, is indeed true, just like this.
The old woman in the form of fire, hazy and inrecognizable, just asked slowly in that strange accent that did not belong anywhere, "What's wrong?" ”
The Phantom Moon Priest bowed at her feet, whispering something to her. The old woman was suddenly moved: "That person who broke the sky, is he so powerful?" It's only been a few days since the last time you reported to me about the Heavenly Human Physique? ”
The Phantom Moon Priest said: "I don't know, how did he find out our people one by one, and where did he learn about Tianhong's identity in the Great Zhou Dynasty, maybe he was in the capital and had a huge intelligence network that we didn't know, or maybe he was really the one who broke the Mandate of Heaven, with terrible means that we didn't know, or he was proficient in some kind of prophecy......"
The Zoroastrian said, "Are you scared? ”
The Phantom Moon Priest gritted his teeth and said, "The subordinates are not afraid, but they are ashamed that they failed to complete the assigned task. Now, the alternate virgin of the goddess of goodness has been killed to the point that only Koharu is alone, although the eldest princess of Luanmei has a celestial physique, but she has not yet joined Zoroastrianism, and several alternate virgins who were originally arranged to approach her have been killed, and Koharu is fascinated by others, and it is not credible. In the eldest princess's mansion, although there are also people we have installed, they are only the lowest believers and cannot take on the heavy responsibility. And even if we succeed in absorbing the eldest princess of Luanmei......"
The Zoroastrian Venerable said: "Maybe it will only make her find by the person who broke the sky, so that this once-in-a-lifetime jade with the physique of a celestial man has been killed before it can be used by us?" ”
The Phantom Moon Priest said, "Exactly! Moreover, the alternate virgin with the blood of the Holy Phoenix in her body has been killed to the point that only Koharu is left, and even if she succeeds in letting the eldest princess of Luanmei enter our sect, there are not enough candidates to carry out the ceremony of the Red Feather Fire Dance. ”
The Zoroastrian Venerable said: "If this is the case, then use the Holy Feather directly." ”
The Phantom Moon Priest said: "Use the Holy Feather directly, if it succeeds, it will be easy to do, if it fails, even if the eldest princess of Luanmei can survive, I am afraid that she will become a waste." Besides, she is the sister of the Great Zhou Tianzi......"
The Zoroastrian Venerable said: "Since Tianhong's identity has been exposed, no matter what, it is impossible for Da Zhou to let go of my sect, and the remnants of my sect in Haojing will be dug up sooner or later." The capital must withdraw, and even Beiluo may only give up temporarily. In this case, what can you do if you rob the eldest princess of Da Zhou? No matter how strong the Great Zhou is, they can't search all over Mobei after all, not to mention that they don't know that they are in trouble. In addition, I estimate that since the eldest princess is a celestial physique, she should be able to withstand the power of the Holy Feather. Although a holy feather was used for this, it was rare for a hundred years to be seen in the heavenly physique, so it should not be missed. ”
The Phantom Moon Priest said: "Since you use the Holy Feather, you don't need Koharu anymore, although Koharu is my daughter, but if she commits a big crime, she doesn't need to keep ......"
The Zoroastrian Venerable said: "The Holy Phoenix blood in Xiaochun's body comes from you, you can kill her at any time, there is no need to rush at this time." Since you said that she had true feelings for the young man named Ning Jiang, and the young man had already been named on the gold list and entered the Hanlin Academy, then let Xiaochun approach him. Now that Tianhong is dead, Xiao Chun may be able to become an important chess piece in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future. Besides, even if she is discovered, there is only a limit to what she can reveal about the secrets of my sect, so in that case, let her go. ”
The Phantom Moon Priest said, "I'm only afraid that the bat boy will come back to bad things." ”
The Zoroastrian said slowly, "In that case...... It's up to the old body to meet him first! ”
***
The team of the officials has arrived in the outer city.
At this time, it was already dusk, the capital was huge, and if you wanted to travel through the main streets of the inner and outer cities in a few hours, it was originally impossible, and today was just the first day of the official praise.
Ning Jiang suddenly got off the white horse and raised his head, his gaze, as if penetrating the void, saw something that others could not see.
Yes, there is something that is covering the capital. If he's not mistaken, it should be some kind of soul-searching spell.
However, the people who can perform such a large-scale soul searching spell are definitely not ordinary people, or in the whole world, there are only a handful of people who can do this.
He sneered slightly in his heart, the entire Central Plains is mainly based on martial arts, and there are not too many people who can use spells, Xiling Miao Wu, after calling himself Chiyou, there are indeed some people who can use this kind of soul searching secret technique, but it is absolutely impossible to cover Jinghua.
At such times, it is not so difficult to guess who the person who is coming.
"Champion Gong!" A small official next to him saw him suddenly dismount and said, "Are you tired?" Today's boast is almost over, do you want to take a break? ”
Ning Jiang said: "Okay...... It's hard work! ”
They stopped in the shade, and the little official graciously brought the rocking chair and let the champion sit and rest first.
Ning Jiang shook the rocking chair, closed his eyes and took a nap, the fire soul in his body had already flown out of his body unconsciously. On the way, he changed his appearance, and the mysterious energy that rolled up in the void rose upside down.
In front of him, the clouds surged, as if an old woman had appeared.
Ning Jiang said coldly: "Zoroastrian Venerable...... Brother Xiao Bodhisattva? ”
"You're the Batboy?" The Zoroastrian goddess looked at the soul body in front of her, the soul body of a normal person, even if it was basking in the setting sun, it would soon be gone, but what stood in front of her was like the invisible and substantial, golden crow radiated by the sun, which was extraordinarily dazzling.
Of course, she also knew that although the soul body of the Bat Boy was so dazzling in her eyes, the ordinary people below couldn't see him at all, even if it was a grandmaster-level martial artist, at most, they could only sense something in the sky, so they were on guard, and they couldn't see it with their own eyes.
It seems that there is a villain, standing in the void where heaven and earth are misplaced, like a small sun, emitting his light, this is the bat boy that Brother Xiao Bodhisattva sees at this moment.
The bat boy also looked at her in the void, as the daughter of Zoroastrianism, in his previous life, he almost never had any explanation with her, the only thing he knew, at least two or three hundred years ago, the whole woman has existed in this world, and it may even be longer, the barbarians and Miao invaded Huaxia in a big way, and there was her impetus behind it, but in the process of the Yuan Demon Emperor sweeping the world, she seemed to disappear out of thin air, and even the entire Zoroastrianism disappeared.
In his eyes, this Zoroastrian woman is old, but he knows that this kind of "appearance" has no meaning at all, if he is still a "golden spirit", the other party may be able to see through him at a glance, but he has cultivated to the fire soul, and the soul already has extraordinary fluidity. And at this moment, Brother Xiao Bodhisattva obviously appeared here with the help of some medium, what he saw was just what she wanted him to see, as for her true body, it was likely to be thousands of miles away.
"Batboy is really a good means!" The old woman's voice, with a wry smile and a hint of hoarseness, was like a blade scraping through hard rock. Like an ethereal form wrapped in a cloud of fire, flying around the boy who emitted a dazzling light, "In such a short period of time, we have uprooted the forces hidden in the capital. ”
The voice of the bat boy is indifferent, cold like a glacier that will not melt for thousands of years, obviously the whole body is like a fire source of light, but the voice is so indifferent, the yin and yang breaths swirl strangely around him: "You are the first to provoke me!" ”
"It's indeed our fault for offending Childe," the old woman's appearance suddenly changed, and her voice became enchanting, giving people a feeling of rejuvenation, "Dare to ask Childe, where did it come from?" ”
"Where did it come from?"
"Everyone understands people, why should Childe pretend again?" Brother Xiao Bodhisattva said slowly, "In July of the year before last, there was a crack in the sky, and a foreign object came from outside the sky, and the person who flew from the sky must be the son." Although I don't know where Childe is sacred, but flying from the sky, there must be a plan to come, why don't Childe say what he means, maybe you and I still have room for cooperation. ”
The bat boy quickly thought in his heart, in July of the previous year, when he was "reborn", Zoroastrianism was able to find that someone "flew through the sky", which is indeed very remarkable. In fact, he also knows that his rebirth must have changed something, just like although he has no evidence, he has already believed that in this life, the Yuan Demon Emperor will be born earlier than his previous life, bringing greater disasters, it seems to be rootless, but it is like a toy that has been broken, no matter how it is put together, there will always be cracks, and his rebirth may have brought unknowable worries to this world.
The reason why Brother Xiao Bodhisattva was able to discover the "Heaven Breaker" is probably because of the hidden dangers brought about by his broken void and rebirth...... Or maybe there must be more mysteries hidden in this universe that even he doesn't know about.
Although Brother Xiao Bodhisattva was not able to grasp his secrets, since he was able to say such things, it was surprising that for this universe, Zoroastrianism also held some secrets that he did not know.
"Cooperation?" He said lightly, "What can you give me?" ”
"The world!" Brother Xiao Bodhisattva's tone became softer, and he was no longer the old woman with a strange smile, but like a woman who was diligent and flattering, "I have been planning for many years in Zoroastrianism, if the son is willing, we can naturally use extraordinary means to help the son win the world and rule these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains......"
"Dominating the world?" Batboy said mockingly, "You gave me the toys I had at my fingertips, and then said they were working with me?" Or else? From now on, all of you will obey my commands, on the condition that you ...... I keep you alive? ”
Brother Xiao Bodhisattva said coldly: "Your Excellency is really a big breath!" ”
"It's not that I'm so angry, it's that you are too insincere, seizing the world and ruling over these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers? Do I need your help with something as simple as this? Batboy sneered, "Why don't you raise the conditions higher?" Not only the world, but the whole world, you all pack it up and give it to me? ”
Brother Xiao Bodhisattva's tone was even colder: "How can we do this kind of thing?" ”
"Can't do it?" The voice of the bat boy seemed to come from the deepest part of purgatory, "Since you can't do it, you dare to provoke me?" Don't you realize that the moment you messed with me...... You're already emboldened? (To be continued.) )
