Chapter 49: Fire and Water Are Incompatible

(Today's broken thoughts are written in front.,This chapter of nearly 7,500 words is actually only half of this shot.,I may write more tomorrow.,But there's not enough time tonight.,The author has to do something else.,So don't write it for the time being.,Originally planned to explode more.,Today's chapter is recommended to be raised first.,It's better to read it together with tomorrow's update.。 Of course, this is just a suggestion. )

The weather is dry, beware of the candles. This is a sentence that many night watchmen chant by beating gongs and drums, arguing for some people to fall asleep in the quiet night, and also accompanying some people to sleep.

Tonight is dry, but there are no more watchmen. Because the city of Qinzhou is shrouded in fire. The night in the sky of Qinzhou was also not long, like a flock of birds flying into the sky, disappearing in an instant. When I looked up, there was only a shocking fiery red. And the hustle and bustle of Qinzhou City is getting bigger and bigger.

To destroy a city, even for a martial artist in the Extreme Realm realm, it also needs to consume a considerable amount of internal strength True Yuan, and it is necessary to master the exercises with powerful destructive power. It takes a long time for a martial artist at the peak realm of the Nine Leaves to do so. Qinzhou City is very large, there are many streets and alleys in the four areas of north, south, east and west, and there are many people in each street.

The buildings of Qinzhou City have been washed away by the flood a lot, and many of the buildings are newly built and should have long-term vitality, but at this moment, everything is slowly dying. The fire kept spreading, like a plague that killed instantly, and the smoke was everywhere, accompanied by countless people wailing and crying for help. Qinzhou City was completely in chaos.

And the Haotian Sect that has done all this does not have a master of the Extreme Artistic Realm realm, and even among the priests and red-clothed cultists under the High Priest, there are few even those in the eight-leaf realm, and even more are only in the five-leaf and six-leaf realm. Although in terms of a sect, these forces are the backbone. But an hour ago, no one believed that they could destroy a city in an instant.

They really can't. Special, just flames. Flame is the source of light, it brings light and warmth to the world, it can also dispel cold, the earliest Haotian Sect believed in the god of flame Haotian because of this. If there were no flames in this world, it would be dark and cold. But just like the mild spring rain and the pleasant autumn wind, every beautiful thing has a terrifying and violent side.

When you master the power of fire one day, you will understand that flame can not only bring warmth, but also despair. And when the spring moon falls more quickly and longer, it will become a flood that everyone fears. If the refreshing autumn wind is more violent, it will be impossible to catch anything in the howling wind.

We want to be treated gently by the world, and we fear those who have mastered the true power of God. That is, the warrior. But it was clear that Qinzhou City had been attacked by warriors again.

There is no need to rely on strong internal strength, no need to rely on the peerless exercises that destroy the world and destroy the earth, the cyan Haotian Holy Flame is burning everything, relying on the burning, and slowly spreading, gradually, the flames in each zone are getting bigger and bigger, as if they are going to gather together.

It's a city by the water. The Qinhuai River has nourished the people of Qinzhou City for countless years, and now the young and strong people are frantically fetching water, trying to extinguish the flames, and roaring one after another, the fire is like an epidemic that is difficult to suppress, and they are shocked to find that the temperature of the flames released by those red-clothed monks is extremely high, and as ordinary people without internal strength to protect their bodies, they can be burned when they get close. And when water falls on fire, it is not poured out like ordinary flames. The Qinhuai River runs through the east and west of Qinzhou City, but people at the north and south ends cannot get water. Even those who can get water don't seem to be able to do anything in the face of raging flames.

The city is coming to an end. Countless people have had this idea. Although the fire has only started for a short time, I am afraid that such a fierce fire will not stop burning for several days, but where can Qinzhou City survive this kind of fire for several days? Let it burn for a few more hours, and there will be nothing left of the city. Reduced to ruins.

Burning Qinzhou City, this is the deadly means of Haotian Sect and the Wanzang tribe to plunge the empire into chaos, in the empire is the most lively and prosperous, in the city deep in the belly of the empire, a flame of divine punishment was ignited. The purpose is simple, in addition to weakening the empire, it can also put enormous pressure on the empire that is at war with the two countries.

At the moment when the fire broke out, Chen Ling wanted to leave.

Haotian Palm Sect and High Priest Liu Jia shot at the same time, and the powerful Haotian Holy Flame and the even more terrifying Haotian Pure Flame condensed in the hands of the two of them, and the moment they pushed out with the power of Haotian Palm, Chen Ling cast the wind and sand.

Haotian Palm's expression was full of shock, but also with a hint of appreciation. He didn't know what kind of martial arts this was that made him unable to move, and he could achieve such powerful control, this Demon Sect Sect Master was indeed not to be underestimated. But he didn't care, because Chen Ling's mind was no longer on these two people.

She wants to lead the disciples of the Demon Sect who came to Qinzhou City together this time to save people. As much as you can save, you can save as much as you can.

"Get out of the city." Chen Ling's words were said to Zhao Xinyang, who was too frightened to move in the corner. Although Zhao Xinyang felt sorry for the restaurant he had developed with great difficulty, his life was important, and a young man once told him that good things would happen if he was alive. Later, he really waited for a good thing, and he stayed in the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood. It's just that even an ordinary person like him knows that I'm afraid that Qinzhou City will be in great trouble.

Chen Ling is gone, her body is extremely fast, far from being comparable to Haotian Palm Sect and High Priest Liu Jia. After a few take-offs, it was completely gone.

"I thought she was going to fight us." Liu Jia said.

"There are people in this world who will always choose between a weak hope and a strong threat. They are all heroes, but heroes don't always live long. Haotian Palm Sect said.

Liu Jia said: "Master Zhangjiao, now the fire has spread, but there are still a few places that have not yet been affected. ”

"You say the Qi family? Although now the Qi family does not have the world's first sword to sit in the battle, but after all, it is the first martial arts giant, at this moment the Qi family must have been under martial law, in this case and a martial arts giant, Bao Qi and the Demon Sect intervene, there is no need for my sect, until Haotian's divine light is sprinkled in most corners of this city, we can return to Hongcheng. Haotian Palm Sect said.

"It seems that the purpose of this trip has been achieved." Liu Jia said.

……

The fire continued, and Chen Ling's gait was hurried. Along the way, she saw many tragic scenes, people under the smoke and flames were still alive, most of them looked desperately at the homes that had already changed shape in the fire, some cried, some were angry, and some people rushed madly into the fire but were pulled by others, they should be trying to rescue someone, but it was too late. The flames are like beasts with teeth and claws, constantly destroying and devouring.

In the midst of the fire, there was a terrible wail that kept ringing out and disappearing......

This flame broke hundreds of thousands of families in Qinzhou City overnight, and their wives were scattered.

While passing by a certain alley, Chen Ling suddenly stopped, and she saw a little boy crying in the fire holding his father's corpse. The scene seemed to instantly bring back memories for her.

She knew that every time wasted at this moment would kill more people, but as the fire slowly surrounded the little boy, she waved her hand, and the surrounding fire was expelled by a storm of sword intent. Then she stopped.

The body in the little boy's arms was burned, and his body looked a little charred, and the little boy himself was also covered in dirt. Tears can't wash away the traces left by the smoke. Crying could not cover the crackling sound of the fire destroying the house.

It was the father who protected the child, but eventually died from the burning and smoke. Chen Ling said softly:

"Get out of here, don't let his death lose its meaning, you have to work hard to live, only by living, can you not live up to the wishes of the dead."

The fire seemed to be afraid of the woman, and the little boy raised his head and looked sadly and blankly at the sudden appearance.

Chen Ling said to the little boy with a rare gentle look: "Live and become strong, even if you are lonely and helpless from now on, and there is no one to protect for a long time, you must work hard to become stronger for those people." ”

Some inexplicable words can always feel a little overwhelmed when they are said at such a time and in such a situation. But Chen Ling really doesn't have much time. She stopped for a moment, then hurried again. The figure disappeared very quickly.

There will always be a lot of passers-by in life, some of them will pass by, and some will stop with you for a moment to bring good or bad things. There are hundreds of thousands of people walking around in Qinzhou City every day, and no one knows who they will meet in the next breath. But sometimes, a sentence from an absolute stranger that we inadvertently hear can have a huge impact on our lives.

There are many such scenes in the Qinzhou fire, and the circumstances of each family in countless scenes are actually different, happy people are the same, and unfortunate people are thousands of different. Chen Ling didn't know why she suddenly stopped saying such things to a little boy, and she didn't know if the little boy would listen. But she hoped he would listen.

Only by looking directly at suffering can we truly overcome suffering, but only those who have experienced it will understand the unbeauty and cruelty of this world. Maybe years from now, we will also experience a moment when we grow up instantaneously and aspire to be better. And when that day really comes, perhaps the most hopeful thing in my heart is to go back to before that thought was born, and I would rather never change.

But life and death are always so distinctly opposed.

In a few moments, Qinzhou City will become a dead city, burning not only shelter and life, but also memories of the past and hopes for the future. Compared to the raging flames that seem to be the first morning sun never stopping, people's voices gradually fade, and the hope on their faces gradually disappears. Some people cursed the injustice of the sky and scolded the ruthlessness of heaven, but such voices gradually disappeared, perhaps because they were tired and hoarse, or because of something else......

The death of a loved one, the result of a lifetime of hard work, all came to naught in this flame.

And all this is still spreading. Only Chen Ling's figure kept flying, and in the end, she came to the Dragon King Temple, after the death of the Dragon King, no one took over here, although the Demon Sect gave up Qinzhou City, but in the process of investigating the Haotian Sect, after the Demon Sect came to Qinzhou City, it still used this place as a base.

There are not many disciples of the Demon Sect, and dozens of people have already begun to help the people of Qinzhou City put out the fire, while Bai Beiming, Tang Xian, and Qing Miaoyue have always been waiting for Chen Ling here. When they saw Chen Ling, the three of them were all relieved. Chen Ling went to deal with the leader of the Haotian Sect, and for the safety of Qing Miaoyue halfway, after pointing out the place to go, Chen Ling asked Qing Miaoyue to return to the Dragon King Temple to standby. But no one expected that in this process, Qinzhou City would suddenly encounter such a fierce fire. The three of them were at a loss, thinking that something had happened to the sect master. But finally, it didn't take long for Chen Ling to rush back.

Time was in a hurry, Chen Ling didn't want to waste any time, facing the concerned and inquiring eyes of the three people, Chen Ling didn't make any explanation, just said: "Elder Tang and Elder Bai protect the Dharma for me, Sister Qing, you go to Qi Mansion and inform Qi Tianhe that the fire in Qinzhou City was caused by the Haotian Sect, and let him dispatch the Qi family guards to cooperate with the disciples of my Xingchen Sect to deal with the Haotian Sect." ”

Powerful qi erupted from Chen Ling's body and collided in the martial arts hall, and at this moment, Chen Ling's strength made the three Demon Sect elders feel shocked. Because in the past battles, they had never seen Chen Ling burst out with all her strength at the beginning. At this moment, Chen Ling perfectly interprets the strength of the peak realm of Jiuye.

They didn't know the reason, but Qing Miaoyue didn't delay and had already set off for the Qi family. Tang Xian was puzzled: "Sect Master, ...... are you?"

Chen Ling said in a deep voice: "I want to perform the Rain Punishment Technique. ”

Just a few words made Bai Beiming gasp, Tang Xian entered the Demon Sect late, and he didn't know what the rain punishment technique was, but Bai Beiming knew what it meant.

Bai Beiming exclaimed: "Sect Master, I can't help it! ”

Chen Ling had made up her mind, and the powerful internal energy continued to emanate, and a majestic and terrifying energy emanated from Chen Ling's body and penetrated through the sky. Tang Xian, as a master of the Eight Leaves Realm, had never seen this kind of method, and this was even a more powerful magical power than Feng Dingsha.

Bai Beiming sighed, as he watched Chen Ling grow up, he knew that once Chen Ling made up her mind, it would be impossible to change it. At this moment, Chen Ling had entered a certain fugue state with all her heart, and she was no longer able to hear Bai Beiming's admonition.

Tang Xian asked puzzledly: "Senior Bai, the Sect Master's Rain Punishment Technique is not the forbidden technique of my Star Sect?" Tang Xian respected Bai Bei Shenji, so although he was of the same generation, he still called him a senior, not Elder Bai.

Bai Beiming said compassionately: "This technique is not the forbidden technique of my Star Sect, but the technique of a mysterious holy place called Sword Pavilion, but about Sword Pavilion, it is also like a legend and myth, it is an unknowable existence. The art of rain punishment was left to her by the sect master's father. Xiao Tang, although you entered the sect very late, you should know the catastrophe that Qinzhou City experienced back then. ”

Tang Xian nodded and said: "I have heard a little, Lianqing and Qinzhou City are not far apart, and the three heavy rains in Qinzhou City within a year are known to the world. It is said that it was caused by rare weather and a flood disaster after the dam went out of control. ”

Bai Beiming shook his head and sighed: "Yes and no, the sect master was only nine years old back then, but he had already shown strong strength and talent in the Xingchen Sect, and at that time, the elder Liu Jia and the Dragon King wanted to rule Qinzhou City, Elder Liu once saved the life of the sect master, and at that time he learned that the sect master would know the art of rain punishment, so he coaxed the sect master together with the dragon king and told the Qinzhou Nai Sect that the development of the sect could not be missed, but the Xingchen Sect had reached the point of life and death, and it was necessary to drive away the local forces with floods. At that time, the Xingchen Sect was divided among the heroes. However, Elder Liu has a strong vein, and the black tax that Qinzhou City can bring is also a lot of income for my Xingchen Sect, so no one in the entire sect dares to object. ”

"Although the sect master is naturally smart and talented, how can a nine-year-old child withstand the coaxing of an old Jianghu who has lived for dozens of years. Therefore, the suzerain made the most regrettable thing in his life, relying on the water potential of the long river, relying on the heavy rain that he had not encountered for decades, and applying the technique of rain punishment, so that the heavy rain that should have stopped for more than ten days lasted for more than 40 days, and the dam was out of control, and the water potential of the long river plus dozens of days of heavy rain formed a flood that happened once in the ages. ”

Tang Xian was shocked and said in shock: "Back then...... Heavy rain turned out to be the suzerain...... Caused? ”

Bai Beiming nodded heavily.

Subsequently, the Dragon King and Elder Liu deceived the sect master twice, but they were finally discovered by the sect master. There are so many people displaced that it is impossible to cover up. Even if the headquarters of the Xingchen Sect was far away in Nansha at that time. ”

Tang Xian asked, "How did the sect master deal with it?" ”

Bai Beiming was silent for a moment before he said: "Old man, I have seen countless legends in my life, and there are many heroines among them, but I have never seen such a powerful figure as the sect master. ”

There was another heavy sigh, but Bai Beiming's voice was full of surprise and admiration, and he said:

"At that time, only me, Elder Qing and Elder Du of the Xingchen Sect had not participated in the secular affairs of the Xingchen Sect. First, we were disgusted by these mundane things that deviated from the doctrine, and second, the three of us were not as powerful as the other ten elders. The Star Sect back then was indeed a Demon Sect, acting strangely and only pursuing interests, which may be the fastest way to strengthen the Star Sect, but the sect master did not accept it at that time. After the sect master knew that he had been deceived, he just put this matter down, and the world thought that a little girl couldn't make much trouble and took advantage of the convenience. But the Sect Master did not forget for a moment. The Star Sect spent ten years comfortably. After the death of the previous generation of sect masters, the Xingchen Sect had no leader, and it was extremely chaotic, most of the things were discussed together, but the so-called consultation was nothing more than more people than on which side, and for a certain period of time, the forces under the command of the elders of the Xingchen Sect were growing and recruiting, and many masters were recruited. In order to have the power to decide the future of the Star Sect. ”

Tang Xian didn't expect that in just one paragraph, it would be ten years. I was in a trance for a while, what about the sect master? What has been done in the past 10 years?

"The Star Sect is indeed getting stronger. But this power is gradually showing signs of separation. The Star Sect is also becoming more and more deformed. And the contradictions within the Xingchen Sect became deeper and deeper, until one day, one of the elders said that the current Xingchen Sect could only solve the current divided situation by electing a sect master. This proposal seems to be to repair the Star Sect, but in fact, no matter which elder becomes the sect master, the rest of the elders will not really agree, which is actually a precursor to the collapse of the Star Sect Mansion. Even if everyone could see through it, everyone agreed to elect a new sect master, because the temptation of power had made them forget the mission of the Guangda sect. ”

Bai Beiming recalled that time, and was still full of emotion, the ten elders actually had a good personal relationship with Bai Beiming, because no one knew when they would be seriously injured, and Bai Beiming's martial arts were not high, let alone let them be jealous. He was so impressed by that election just two years ago that many of his old friends died on that day.

Tang Xian saw that Bai Beiming was deep in thought, and it was not easy to speak, after waiting for a long time, Bai Beiming shook his head and said, "You must be curious to know, what has the sect master done in the past ten years?" ”

Tang Xian nodded, he was indeed very curious. How did a woman stand out among the many strong and old seniors in the Star Sect and become the sect master.

"In the past ten years, the sect master has only been doing one thing, which is very boring, boring, and hard. When the sword ghost Qi Linya was in his thirties, he was in retreat because of the death of his lifelong rival Ding Xuchu, and he had been in retreat for thirteen years, I am not surprised that a person has reached the age of thirty, even if the world has many places for him to explore, but his heart has actually begun to grow old. So it's not surprising to endure loneliness for thirteen years, in order to wipe the dust off the heart of the knife. ”

"But the Sect Master was only nine years old at the time, and the world was still a stranger to her, and she was like a seedling to this world. Even so, the sect master has resolutely retreated for ten years, and in the past ten years, the top and bottom of the sect seem to have forgotten the existence of the sect master, and only Elder Qing has always responded to the sect master. In the past ten years, she has flipped through the classics of the Xingchen Sect, comprehended the realm, and cultivated alone, without anyone to teach the sect master, without anyone to guide the sect master, she has made progress every day without a teacher. She didn't talk to anyone either, and the one who accompanied the sect master was just the strange beast ink fox who entered the Star Sect with the sect master. ”

"If it weren't for Elder Qing informing the Sect Master that the Star Sect would be holding a sect master selection, I think the Sect Master might have been in retreat for a longer time. But in the end, the suzerain still appeared. When the sect master appeared, there were almost not many people in the entire Star Sect who knew the sect master, and if it weren't for the elders remembering the ink fox, I am afraid that they would still think that the sect master was the newly invited help of the elders of which party. What follows, although you have only been in the church for a short time, you know a little bit about it. At the meeting of the suzerain election, the suzerain defeated all the elders with iron-blooded means and powerful force, and over the years, Elder Qing also found out the truth about Qinzhou City, although the truth has long been known, but the sect master will let these people die clearly. ”

Two years have passed, and Bai Beiming's expression is still full of amazement.

"The sect master, who was only nineteen years old, used his supreme divine power to kill all those who had participated in and supported the flood incident in Qinzhou City that year. A woman washed half of the Star Sect in blood. The ten elders who held real power all died in that battle, and the Sect Master, in the midst of countless killings and blood, ascended to the position of the Sect Master of the Star Sect. The blood-spattered Xingchen Sect was just to get justice for the people of Qinzhou back then. ”

Ten years of forbearance, before the retreat, she was just a nine-year-old girl, enduring the pain of cultivation and endless loneliness, without anyone's guidance, every day was a person facing boring and obscure texts. After leaving the customs, one person and one sword, killed the ten strongest elders of the Demon Sect. What a genius is this?

Tang Xian was suddenly speechless, his performance at the martial arts conference was eye-catching, and he was the most powerful Yan Master in the world today, and the eternal mystery of the soul lock technique was also understood by him, he thought he was good enough, but he didn't want to, compared to the woman behind him, the difference was so huge.

Bai Beiming also saw Tang Xian's thoughts, and said: "The sect master is a strange woman who has not been met for a thousand years, if you love the sect master, you need to become good enough." ”

Tang Xian nodded and asked worriedly, "Senior Bai, you seem to be very worried about the rain punishment technique?" ”

Bai Beiming nodded and said: "The reason why the rain punishment technique of the year was successful was because the sea interception dam was out of control, and the heavy water that had not been encountered in a hundred years met with the same rare heavy rain, and finally the sect master used the rain punishment technique to enhance the rain momentum, although the means reached the sky, but the consumption of the sect master was very large, although the sect master was only the first to enter the martial arts at the age of nine, but there were also Xingchen Sect elders who continuously provided him with internal strength to be implemented. ”

Bai Beiming's expression was extremely worried, and this powerful qi fluctuation at this moment was a testament to what he was most worried about. He said: "The realm of the sect master is far stronger now than it was back then, but do you know that if there is no water potential of the long river, if the weather is already sunny, to perform the rain punishment technique under such circumstances is tantamount to a fool's dream, tantamount to fighting with the sky!" ”

Tang Xian's face was pale, no matter how strong the manpower was, how could he be strong enough to cross the turbulent river? And how can you steal the day? How can you call the wind and rain? At this moment, the internal strength exuded by Chen Ling may have been enough to destroy a martial artist of the same realm, but there was still no sign of rain in the dark sky.

He was scared, and so was Bai Beiming. In the eyes of these two people, Chen Ling's actions at this moment are to use manpower to change the time, how can this be possible? How can man overcome heaven?

But suddenly, a bolt of lightning swept through the sky, turning the night as bright as day, even if only for a moment.

No one knew what a lightning bolt in the clear sky meant, but at this moment, everyone in the entire Qinzhou City raised their heads at the moment when the day flickered.

Rain. This city that was almost wiped out by heavy rain At this moment, after the lightning appeared, everyone began to look forward to the rain, and Qinzhou City, which was originally silent when it rained, had never looked forward to the rain so much now.

Those who had fallen silent began to roar again, and those who wept stopped their tears and began to bow down to the sky. They are like dying people who thirst for nectar in a long drought.

The fire, which covered most of Qinzhou City, could only be extinguished by a majestic rain. Countless people began to bow down one after another, they are the most fragile and the most numerous ordinary people in this era full of warriors, they are not as strong as changing their lives against the sky, what they can do in life is to conform to the time, most of them are kind and weak, with a little desire for survival, with a little fragile hope.

Now all hope is pointed to the dark and deep sky, praying for rain.

In the Dragon King Temple, Chen Ling entered a state of self-forgetfulness, this feeling of all her internal energy constantly pouring out made her feel abnormal pain, unconsciously, she bit her lip, her forehead was also oozing with sweat, her consciousness seemed to be connected to the distant and dark sky.

Tang Xian and Bai Beiming looked at Chen Ling incredulously, thinking about how powerful this woman was? What kind of pain did they endure?

No one knew that the sky was still dry, like the dry eyes of those people on the ground full of flames.

But slowly, someone began to look shocked. The little boy who was surrounded by fire and hugged his dead father suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and he raised his head slightly and looked at the sky incredulously.

At this time, a drop of rain fell on his forehead, and then on the tip of his nose, as if some kind of coolness had invaded in the heat.

It's raining.

When the fire in Qinzhou City spread more violently and wantonly, it rained in Qinzhou City.

More and more people began to erupt in some kind of cheer, and those who had lost their homes because of the heavy rain suddenly felt that the rain was so lovely. Those who fell to their knees and gave up hope suddenly raised their heads.

The liquid falling from the distant dark sky was like hope in the night.

And in the Dragon King Temple, Chen Ling's body was covered with purple lines.
