32. Knock down the dust
"Poof"
In the inn, a figure fell from the third floor.
The delicate railing shattered.
In the flying sawdust, it fell into the courtyard below.
There was such a big commotion, but no one came out to check around, as early as when the two of them started, there was a traitor door of the Five Elements Gate, and the inn was quickly emptied.
Liu Zhuoran fell to the ground and staggered, only according to the usual longitudinal technique, he was able to stand firmly.
It's just that this place is the first on the list, and now the cheeks are pale.
It's as white as paper.
His body is empty, his body is ethereal Penglai True Qi, there is not one in ten, the pain in the meridians is unbearable, and his body reaction is becoming numb.
It's as if there are too many insects in the body, and they are constantly devouring the true qi along the meridian acupuncture points.
It also blocks the meridians, so that the true qi cannot be regenerated.
Plotted.
But this poison can't even be detected by Penglai spiritual objects.
"Huh"
Shen Lan, who was wearing Xiao Er's clothes, stepped lightly on the broken railing on the third floor, like a harrier eagle, flying downward, trembling in the air, there were more than a dozen true and false phantoms, chasing after him.
This demon girl doesn't need the fish intestine thorns that she is good at, she uses ten fingers of both hands.
The sharp true qi flowed in the fingertips, and there was a whistling sound between the rotations, and the slender fingers, which were originally as delicate as jade, were as black as ink when they were exercising.
The evil wind struck, and the Sword Monarch held the Ling Xuan Ancient Sword in his hand, relying on his exquisite swordsmanship, he could block the black finger in front of him.
But without the true qi, he moved as fast as lightning, and the dodge was too slow, and there was no Penglai Immortal Family's internal luck, and those true qi that could automatically hurt people could not be called.
This came and went, and in a few breaths, the sword monarch with a pale face was slapped by Shen Lan again.
He took a few steps back, no blood on his chest.
But through the light gauze single clothes, you can also see that the place where it was hit has strange bruises, the flesh and blood rotate strangely, and the wounds are gray, as if the flesh and blood have been destroyed.
It's not painful.
But like the poison of the tarsal bones, the injuries in various places are even more numb.
"Don't look at it!"
Many phantoms gathered in front of him, and Shen Lan pinched the orchid fingers with both hands.
The fingers were as black as ink, and there was a fierce poisonous aura coming from the palm wind, with a peculiar domineering aura, which made people fearful.
"This dragon finger is specially practiced by the concubine for the Sword Monarch."
Shen Lan lowered her head, her hands hung down at her sides, and whispered:
"I gave up my piano skills in exchange for such a ferocious fingering, which will not kill people, but destroy your meridian acupoints, plus the red dust Gu that is taking effect in your body.
Liu Daxia, you are the first on the list, a person outside the world, from today onwards, you will become a waste! ”
Seeing that Shen Lan was so generous and said the martial arts Gu worm, Liu Zhuoran knew that this demon girl had eaten him today.
But he also had doubts in his mind.
Holding the Ling Xuan Sword, the blade of the sword forward, lifting three points, he said:
"Why bother?
That Gu insect can't even be detected by my Penglai secret method, and it should be a rare thing in the world.
Liu has been hit by a Gu worm, and you are already in control.
You must hate me to the extreme in your heart, and kill me with a knife, and seeing your wrists are blue, it is already a sign of the spread of toxins. Why do you need to cultivate such evil martial arts?
Even at the expense of ruining yourself? ”
"Do you think I don't want to kill?"
The enchantress raised her head, her eyes full of coldness, she gritted her teeth and said:
"On the day you stabbed Xiuhe to death, I made an oath in my heart that I would kill you, a hypocrite full of benevolence and morality, but with the orders of my elders, I had to start with...
If I can't kill you, I'll let you fall from that cloud to the lowest place of time!
I've heard that people like you have the most important Taoist heart.
Today, I will break your Dao heart, so that in this life, you will atone for my Xiuhe!
Let you, a person outside the world, also taste the pain of red dust!
You, an immortal cultivator, make you fall into a mud pit and roll a few times, I'm afraid it's more uncomfortable than killing you, right? ”
The Red Dust Gu proliferated rapidly in the Sword Monarch's body, but the pillar incense was not enough, and most of the meridians in his body were filled with this Gu worm that devoured true qi.
But this Gu worm does not hurt his life, so that when Liu Zhuoran is weak, he still has the power to fight back.
He pinched the sword trick and held the Ling Xuan Sword in his hand, and when he saw Shen Lan sacrificing his body to attack again, he had the Ling Xuan Sword Technique unleashed.
You don't need to be angry, just use a sword move.
Every move and style has the meaning of ethereal dust, and the blade of the sword flows, just like the white clouds and dogs in the sky.
The clouds are rolling and the clouds are shu, and the sword style is used as a defense, blocking the dragon fingers that come with every blow.
But every blow from Shen Lan in front of him would make him take a step back.
The five elements of true qi in Shen Lan's body turned into fire, bursting incomparably, the movements were fast, and there was a faint sound of detonation between square inches, and then there was a sacrifice of six points, making the true qi in the body rumble and roar.
At this moment, the Shen family is not like a famous assassin, but like a warrior in a frenzied battle array.
She forced the sword monarch who was holding the sword to defend into the corner, and without breaking the Ling Xuan Sword Style, she attacked with a very evil dragon finger, wanting to destroy his bones.
When Jian Jun leaned his back against the wall, intending to fight to the death, Shen Lan suddenly retracted.
With a sneer, she swept back a few feet, like a butterfly, and stopped at the wellhead of the courtyard, even her fingering was restrained, as if watching the excitement.
Not good!
Enchantress, it's on purpose!
"Jianjun's swordsmanship is exquisite, and the little woman thinks she is invincible, so she invites another friend to come and have a discussion with Jianjun."
There is no true qi rotation in Jian Jun's body, which makes his perception not as sharp as before, but he has entered the ground list, and his body is also different from ordinary people under the perennial warmth, and his ears and eyes are smart.
He could hear movement behind the wall.
It clicked like some kind of delicate mechanism was actuating.
"Bang"
Hearing what Shen Lan said, Liu Zhuoran resorted to Penglai to jump out of danger, but he had been fighting with Shen Lan for a long time, and he had no true qi blessing, which made him a little tired, and his movements slowed down a little.
The wall behind him exploded, as if it had been hit by a battering ram.
In the midst of the splashes of bricks and stones, a short woman in a long black dress and a hat rushed forward, grabbed the sword monarch's waist and abdomen, and hugged him into her arms.
"Wow"
The Sword Monarch reacted extremely quickly, and the Ling Xuan Sword in his hand turned into a ray of light, piercing into the person behind him, piercing through his waist and abdomen, only to hear the parts shattering and flying, and the spring spring bursting.
But there was not a trace of blood, and it could not stop the man from sacrificing his life.
Xiuhe!
This organ is in Miao Jiang, and he was replaced by the White Gu Master for a hundred years to usurp Gu.
Although it can't be resurrected, it is a smarter and more sane usurper Gu, so that Xiuhe, a person like an organ, can also make more complex instructions.
Just like now.
She stiffly hugged Jianjun from behind, and she didn't kill, just like the lock was clasped behind Jianjun's back, from her shoulders, wrists, and chest, there were organic springs.
Gray smoke and dust gushed out from Xiuhe's body, enveloping her and Jianjun in it, like a smoke bomb enveloping the spot, but it was only trapped within three feet of the two of them, and did not spread outward.
Gray soot comes and goes faster.
In just a moment, it was blown away by the wind and melted into the wind again, without the slightest trace.
Xiuhe also let go of the sword monarch in his arms.
"Smack"
Ling Xu's sword smashed to the ground, and the blade was still mellow and sharp, reflecting the glow.
But it also reflected Liu Zhuoran's distorted and painful face.
The Sword King wanted to take the sword.
But as soon as he took a step, he went limp.
Gray smoke is poisonous.
The strange poison entered the body, and there was a strong fragrance in his mouth and nose, but it made his whole body exhausted, and under the stimulation of this poison, the red dust Gu activity in his body became more intense.
The feeling of numbness also rises seven points from the body.
It's like in the ice and snow, the whole body is frozen, the keen five senses are being lost, and the body that has been cultivated by the true qi of the immortal family for many years is also fading away.
It seems that from the pillars, it has been returned to the realm of rotten wood.
"The poison that the old man of ten thousand poisons personally matched, the Gu raised by Mrs. Tongtang herself, and the immortal art inherited by the five immortal views, the three will be abandoned and your foundation will be destroyed."
Shen Lan took off the hat on her head and shook her head, letting her long hair overflow.
She walked up to the grizzled Sword Monarch who was struggling to breathe, she squatted down, reached out and lifted Liu Zhuoran's chin, looking at the eyes that were fading their divine light.
She seemed to be depressed in her chest, and whispered:
"Such an arrangement, such a strange thing.
If the concubine is lucky, it is more than enough to plan a heavenly list, but if you use these strange things on you, the concubine will not regret it.
Liu Zhuoran, you wanted to kill me that day, I admit it! ”
The demon girl no longer hid what she was thinking at this moment, she said very calmly:
"You annoy me for causing a storm in Suzhou and killing innocent people. Indeed, it was I who did something wrong, and it was me who had innocent blood on my hands.
Back then, when I was brought back to the Five Elements Gate by Qu Xie and embarked on this road of killing in the rivers and lakes, I knew that there would be no good results in my life.
If you die in your hands that day, it is nothing more than bad luck, and you are not wronged.
But you shouldn't, you shouldn't...
Why did you kill Xiuhe!
I did all that, and I damn it!
But Xiuhe shouldn't!
Under your Ling Xuan sword, there are already innocent souls.
Today, I will abolish your Taoism, and it can be regarded as a report and a report! ”
She stood up and looked at the sword monarch who was paralyzed on the ground in front of her, she was the first on the list today, but there was no joy in her heart.
There is even some distraction.
And what about ruining him?
What if you kill him?
Xiuhe is dead.
There's no going back.
The evil qi in her heart dissipated, Shen Lan took a step back, and with a swing of her toes, the Ling Xuan Sword fell into her hand, and she didn't look at the world's sharp weapons, she casually put the long sword into the sword box and threw it to Xiuhe, who was standing on the side.
glanced at Liu Zhuoran who was struggling on the ground again, and chuckled.
Say:
"Jianjun is a person outside the world, and he is also righteous in his heart when he wanders the rivers and lakes, but if you don't enter the red dust, how can you know the suffering in this world?
You say you have your martial arts.
But in the eyes of the concubine, it was just a flower in the moon mirror in the water.
He has never walked in the world, but he has to seek justice for the world.
Sword Monarch is on the wrong track.
What you do seems to be fair, but in fact, you are walking in the clouds, not grounded, and the concubine is today, so she will invite the sword monarch to come to Hongchen to really walk on it with a mortal body.
You can rest assured that this strange poison from the concubine will not harm your life, and can even make your body strong and prolong your life. ”
She swept up the broken wall, looked back at Liu Zhuoran, and said:
"If you don't want to wander around the red dust in a drowsy, and you still have the idea of practicing martial arts, and you want to detoxify, go to Qilu to find the heir of the medicine king.
He is the only one in this world who can cure your poison! ”
After speaking, Shen Lan and Xiuhe jumped out of the inn.
Soon, the inn, which had been chaotic just now, also fell silent.
Liu Zhuoran was lying on the ground, he had never been so embarrassed.
He tried hard to support his body with his arms, but it was difficult to do so, and the strength in his body was soft, like cotton, and he couldn't use his strength at all.
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
After struggling like this for more than a dozen breaths, a familiar voice came into Liu Zhuoran's ears.
He looked up with difficulty, and saw Dong Lingjun, who was wearing warm jade around his waist, standing in front of him with his negative hands.
I haven't seen him for many years, and Master's gray hair seems to be a little more, and there is still an ethereal atmosphere, but there seems to be a trace of sadness on his always calm face.
"Master, I..."
Liu Zhuoran wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Dong Lingjun waving his hand.
The Penglai man stretched out his hand and helped Liu Zhuoran up, he looked at his disciple's injury, and shook his head.
"The apprentice was seriously injured, and he was hit by the strange poison and strange Gu of the rivers and lakes, so he had to return to Penglai, and ask the head of the Daojun to make a move, so as to have a glimmer of hope.
It's just that...
As a teacher, he doesn't want you to re-enter Penglai. ”
Dong Lingjun looked at the disciple in front of him, and he said:
"Zhuo Ran, your natural aura is a good material for cultivating immortals, but unfortunately now the aura has faded and turned into rotten wood, and your Dao heart has been chaotic for the sake of the teacher, I am afraid that it will be contaminated with red dust and poison.
You immortal road, don't repair it. ”
"No, Master, it's not."
When Liu Zhuoran heard this, he was like being struck by lightning.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, reached out and grabbed Master's wrist, he could no longer maintain his state of mind at this moment, and prayed in a wailing voice.
"My Dao heart is still firm, Master, and I haven't messed up a bit.
If the immortal road is hopeless, I hope that Master will take me back to Penglai and die alone in that mountain.
Master, I know that I have failed once, and I will disappoint you, but please Master, don't drive me away! ”
"To say that your Dao heart is in turmoil, that is really chaotic."
A trace of sadness flashed in Dong Lingjun's eyes.
But it's fleeting.
He reached out and took off the Penglai jade pendant from Liu Zhuoran's waist, and gently sensed that this strange jade pendant was already full of lightness.
This is the mellow true qi that the Sword Monarch has recovered by walking in the rivers and lakes in the past few years, using the Ling Xuan Sword to punish those who have obtained the Penglai secret method but used it as an evil way.
This is also an important task for Liu Zhuoran to enter the rivers and lakes with a sword.
In every era, there are Penglai people who travel the world like this, subduing demons and eliminating demons, and Dong Lingjun did the same thing when he was young.
It's just that at that time, he didn't understand the meaning of this Penglai mission.
Now, he understands.
"In vain."
Dong Lingjun closed his eyes, stretched out his hand, and put it on Liu Zhuoran's forehead, and he said coldly:
"You don't have to plead, people live for a lifetime, the most important thing is to have their own ideas, whether it is the path of cultivating immortals or the life of a mortal, there must be no regrets.
Your fate is like this, this time you left this path of cultivating immortals, leaving Penglai, it is not a bad thing.
The Ling Xuan Sword that was taken away by the demon girl, you don't have to worry, someone will take it back.
It's just that, Liu Zhuoran, you and I have run out of fate.
You and Penglai are also fateful, and since then, you are no longer a disciple of Penglai!
Let's live well. ”
After speaking, Dong Lingjun got up, Liu Zhuoran felt sad in his heart, like the world turned upside down, he grabbed his master's hand and begged bitterly.
But Dong Lingjun just flicked his sleeves and knocked Jian Jun's hand into the dust.
This Penglai immortal took a step forward, like Ling Xuan resisting the wind, floating up, but in the blink of an eye, disappeared outside the inn.
"Master! I'm not in trouble! ”
In the midst of grief, the Sword Monarch shouted loudly:
"Still clear-minded, Master! Don't leave me! Don't drive me away! ”
The shout was heard far and wide.
Not long after, an innkeeper cautiously walked into the backyard, but only saw Liu Daxia paralyzed on the ground, as if he was lost in his mind, and kept saying something like "his heart is not messed up".
The shopkeeper hurriedly sent someone to send Liu Daxia to a nearby medical center.
It was noisy and noisy, and it took a long time to quiet down.
Outside the inn, thirty zhang away, Dong Lingjun watched this scene calmly, he rubbed the Penglai jade pendant in his hand, and there was also some reluctance and hesitation in his eyes.
Eventually, the outsider sighed and turned away.
"Breaking the master-apprentice relationship, but it also allows you to avoid the pain of leaving your soul and losing your life.
Zhuo Ran, when I took you back to Penglai, it was the master who made a mistake.
Don't blame Master.
Immortal Road, Immortal Road... Hehe, damage the world to benefit yourself, mess with the world, create impermanence, what kind of immortal is I cultivating in this life!
Senior Brother Moving Mountains, is it also because of this that you rebelled and died at the end of the world?
I want to learn from you, but I... But his heart was in turmoil, and he was unable to fight again.
That's it.
In the end, the fate of the dust has also gone, and in this life, I received the great grace of Penglai, and I returned it with my life. ”
