Chapter 56
Li Xunlian pricked up his ears and listened carefully, the comer's footsteps were eager, but he was in a hurry, he should be a master of Xuan Xiu.
At present, this situation is very bad, and King Cheng's henchmen may attack Li Xun at any time. Although his character is not so worried that he is a soldier, it is necessary to be cautious.
When the footsteps got closer and closer, Li Xunlian stared for a moment, and never felt the murderous aura on the body of the comer, so he relaxed a little.
Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the door, and when he raised his eyes, it turned out to be Zhao Wu coming.
He held a tray in his hand, and the food on the tray was fragrant, but it was three or five exquisite dishes, and there was even a pot of wine that exuded a mellow wine.
couldn't help but feel warm in Li Xunlian's heart, and it didn't matter whether this Zhao Wu was trying to tie himself up or not, but being so dedicated could be regarded as a hospitality.
You must know that it is not worth remembering when people are sought after when they are beautiful, but there are people who can help when they are down, and that is called true friendship.
Although Zhao Wu's behavior is not enough to be described in this way, he can have this kind of thought, which is far better than the appearance of only playing tricks.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao. Li Xunlian didn't cheat, reached out to take the tray, and said with a smile.
"Hey, thank you!" Zhao Wu waved his hand disapprovingly, and said, "To be honest, you are the innkeeper, we can't stammer, how can you slack off." ”
Hearing this, Li Xunlian was more optimistic about Zhao Wu. Although others have the heart to stammer, they don't want to admit it, in comparison, this Zhao Wu is a sincere person.
"The grace of today's wine and dinner will be rewarded a hundred times in the future. Li Xunlian promised. Although a meal is not a kindness, Li Xun doesn't even have to eat one less meal or eat a bad meal, but people's minds are here, and many times, thoughts are far more important than materials.
"Hehe, since Gongzi said so, the little one doesn't shirk, he doesn't ask for anything else, he just wants Gongzi to say a few good words in front of the saint after he goes out, and he doesn't need to be promoted to make a fortune, just be transferred out of this ghost place that doesn't see the light of day all year round. Zhao Wu grinned.
Li Xunlian nodded vigorously and agreed, not to mention Zhao Wu's character, even if he is an autistic person who stays here all the year round, he is afraid that he will not be able to stay.
What's more, transferring Zhao Wu out is just a matter of his words, presumably this kind of face, Emperor Qingxiao will definitely give it.
After finishing the business, the two chatted a few more words, and then Zhao Wu wanted to leave, and when he left, he glanced at the wooden wall that was broken by Li Xunlian, and enthusiastically said that he would send someone to repair it later.
As for repairing the wooden wall, Li Xunlian refused. Zhao Wu probably had this thought because he was afraid that the "old monster" next door would harass Li Xunlian, but he didn't know that Li Xunlian was now planted with a demon root in his body, and he had to pay attention to the old man from time to time in order to find a chance to resolve the demon root.
Li Xunlian naturally wouldn't say this kind of thing to Zhao Wu, but after the latter heard Li Xunlian's refusal, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
Li Xunlian didn't notice the strange look, after sending Zhao Wu away, he immediately entered the state of cultivation, and his current situation can be described as very difficult and dangerous, there are King Cheng's henchmen in the near area, and there are ghost devouring heart seals in the distance, this is a major matter related to life and death, although there is no specific solution, but there will be nothing wrong with working hard to improve cultivation after all.
"This person was held by Chief Wei in the past, could it be that the Xuanyin Qi could not restrain the innate demonic qi?" Li Xunlian frowned and pondered, although he knew that this possibility was very small, but it was still necessary to give it a try, the so-called rush to the doctor, he was a little bit of this kind of thought now.
People can always stimulate great potential when they are in a desperate situation, Li Xunlian is naturally no exception, there is a glimmer of hope in his heart, Li Xunlian is more attentive when he cultivates, and I don't know how long it took, a bright light flashed in his heart, and the cultivation method of Xuanyin Qi was really peeped out by Li Xunlian.
It was as if a very subtle light penetrated the rolling clouds and shone down on Li Xunlian's body, and even into his sea of qi.
At this moment, the sea of qi suddenly boiled, followed by the cold qi of the forest flowing upstream, rapidly swimming along the major meridians around the body, and it was a week in a moment.
The qi of Xuanyin is the qi of the yin, which will cause considerable backlash to the body veins, and you can know one or two by looking at the head of Wei who is clothed in a big coat all the year round, and with his cultivation, even if he is naked in the cold winter, he will not get frostbitten in the slightest, which shows that the cold brought by the Xuanyin qi is cold in the body veins, no matter how deep the cultivation is, it is difficult to get rid of it.
Stimulated by the cold air, Li Xunlian's body was crawling with goosebumps, and even trembled slightly.
Gritting his teeth hard, Li Xunlian knew that if he wanted to go further in this way, he would have to endure the pain of this cold.
Simply, although the cold qi was terrifying, it did not cause damage to its body veins, not that the strength of the Xuanyin Qi was not enough, but whenever the cold qi tried to invade and freeze the meridians, Li Xunlian would have an inexplicable power in his body, which would directly dissolve it.
"This must be the miracle of my own body. Thinking silently in his heart, he also vaguely understood why Manager Wei chose himself.
I have to say that Manager Wei does appreciate Li Xunlian, but if Li Xunlian does not have such a body, he will not easily teach the Xuanyin Qi, after all, not everyone can practice this skill, as he said, looking at the entire imperial court, he has not been able to find a qualified heir for decades.
Either the body vein is qualified but does not enter the eyes of President Wei, or the character is good, but the body and vein are far apart, in short, before Li Xunlian appeared, Manager Wei almost broke the idea of passing on the Xuanyin qi.
At the moment, a little peek out of the doorway, Li Xunlian as long as he moves with his heart when he is running the Xuan Qi, there will be wisps of cold air penetrating into it, although it is still far from reaching the point of condensing frost, but as long as he works hard, with the continuous improvement of his cultivation and the deeper and deeper comprehension of the Xuan Yin Qi, it is only a matter of time before he condenses the ice wall.
But at this time, the sea of qi boiled again, and then Li Xunlian felt a palpitating breath gushing out, if you observe the sea of qi with your divine sense, you can see that the sea of qi is filled with black mist, and a bead depicting the face of the devil is gradually growing.
Of course, that bead was not a real bead, but a demon root condensed by innate demonic qi. This method is really weird, but whoever is planted with the demon root in the body, as long as the Xuan Qi is activated, it will provide nutrients for the demon root, and the demon root grows extremely quickly, and when the bead expands to a certain extent, it will occupy the entire sea of qi, thus giving birth to pure innate demon qi.
At present, the demon root has only just begun to grow, but Li Xunlian can already feel that there is an inexplicable aura in his body scurrying around, presumably it is the innate demon qi.
The innate demonic qi and the Xuanyin qi are similar, but the two do not merge with each other or exclude each other, and they also have a tendency to erode the meridians and eat the body, but under Li Xunlian's divine body veins, they can only return in vain. But it is worth mentioning that although the innate demonic qi is weird, it really lives up to its reputation, and its promotion effect on the cultivation of Xuanqi is not weaker than that of Xuanyin Qi.
Pure Xuan Qi, Innate Demon Qi, and Xuan Yin Qi, it is in the case of these three qi being the same body, Li Xunlian insisted on completing the twelve rounds of drills, not to mention that the cultivation is a thousand miles a day, but it is also obvious that there has been great progress, he simply calculated, according to this method of cultivation, if there is no accident, he can break through again after more than a month.
Of course, if he can't find a way to absorb the pure Xuan Qi in time, the three qi will slowly turn into two qi, after all, the pure Xuan Qi he has at the moment was invaded into the body veins when he was imprisoned, and it was not taken his own initiative to take it, and it won't take long before it will gradually dissipate.
The twelve rounds of drills are far more than the number of ordinary people, and they have also reached the critical point of Li Xunlian, if they continue to be carried out, not only will they not be effective, but they will damage the body veins.
In this way, Li Xunlian has leisure again. Compared with the boring practice of Xuanqi, he still prefers to study Xuangong and the way of smelting. When I returned to the inn before, I wanted to choose a few Gu Xuan Realm Xuan Gong, but I was attracted by the inscription and didn't care about it, and second, Manager Wei also gave a "Frost Sword Qi" while teaching the Xuanyin Qi cultivation method.
This method is a kind of Xuangong of righteousness, and it is common to open the Xuanxuan to the Shenhai, which is naturally much more domineering than the simple Xuangong of the Solid Xuanjing Realm, but the premise is that you must be able to control the Xuanyin Qi, which is a disadvantage and weakness, after all, it is not easy to cultivate the Xuanyin Qi, and the skilled controller is only the only one who is in charge of Wei in the world.
However, since Li Xunlian had already stepped into the threshold of Xuanyin Qi, there was no reason not to cultivate the Frost Sword Qi, although he could not show its power when he used it now, but compared to the Solid Xuanjing Realm Xuangong that he had to give up when he cultivated to the Lingxi Realm, it still had a lot of prospects.
Calm down, Li Xunlian once again plunged into the state of cultivation, the frost sword qi is the foundation of all the wonderful methods of Master Wei, and it is not easy to comprehend it thoroughly.
Fortunately, Li Xunlian is talented, and after about two years of success, he is finally getting better. I saw that he used the sword to refer to it, and when he used the Xuan Qi volley a little in the air, an ice-blue qi sword broke through the wind and was directly nailed to the iron fence where the wooden wall was broken.
It's just that the ice-blue qi sword is still mixed with mottled black spots, which are the innate demonic qi that Li Xunlian can't control as long as he touches the Xuan Qi.
With a ding, there was a crisp sound from the iron bar, and even a violent vibration fed back into Li Xunlian's Divine Mansion. Suddenly, he felt that the whole room was spinning, and his body collapsed directly on the bed as if he had suffered a thunderbolt!
After a long time, he slowly recovered, Li Xunlian's face turned pale, and he secretly thought to himself: "No wonder the old man's previous palm directly shook him to the ground, his Divine Sea Realm can't resist this kind of anti-shock power, I'm only in the middle of Guxuan, and I haven't suffered internal injuries, so it's a great luck." ”
Fortunately, Li Xunlian's heart was curious again, and he finally understood why all the people imprisoned here were Shenhai powers, but the prison structure was so simple, it turned out that this iron fence actually had such an unpredictable effect.
Just as he was curious, there was a gurgling sound in his stomach, it turned out that Li Xunlian was immersed in cultivation, and he had already passed several hours without realizing it.
The food was already cold, but this did not affect Li Xunlian's appetite. The lights in the prison corridor were dim, and while Li Xunlian was feasting, at the corner at the end of the corridor, a pair of eyes flashing with a sinister light stared closely......
Li Xunlian was also hungry, and he devoured the food like a whirlwind.
Just as he raised his hand to drink the wine, the old man's voice came from next door: "Boy, don't drink it all, leave some for the old man!"
Glancing at the old man, Li Xun sneered twice and said, "If you don't harm me, don't talk about a pot of wine, why not give you this meal." But now, all you have to look at is what you can see. ”
After that, he raised his head in the pot, and a pot of wine fell into his stomach.
The old man screamed angrily when he saw this, he has been locked up here for more than 70 years, and all he eats every day is leftovers and rotten vegetable soup, not to mention the wine, he hasn't even drunk a drop of clear water.
"Little bastard, angry old man!"
The old man over there was arrogant and scolding, but Li Xunlian ignored it at all, and fell asleep after eating and drinking.
In fact, he originally wanted to cultivate the frost sword qi, but because of the excess of alcohol, he was dizzy when he got into a pot, and it was better not to cultivate in this state, so as not to go crazy by mistake, and when the time came, he didn't have to wait for a year, and he didn't need to become a king's henchman, so he ended himself first.
At first, Li Xunlian was just a little sleepy, but after lying down, he only felt that his brain began to have labor pains, and the labor pain lasted for about a pillar of incense, and then it turned into severe pain, which was so painful that his eyes were broken, but a pair of eyelids were extremely heavy, in this case, it should be difficult to sleep, but the intense sleepiness was unstoppable.
Gradually, his consciousness began to blur, and if there was someone close to Li Xunlian by his side at this moment, he would definitely break out in a cold sweat.
I saw that Li Xunlian's body couldn't help trembling, and wisps of black and blue aura emanated outward from the pores of his body, such a strange person with a clear eye could see at a glance that this situation was like a sign that the sea of qi was abolished and the Xuan Qi returned to heaven and earth!
The old man next door was struggling to reach out his hand through the crack in the iron bar, intending to pick up the empty flask, which seemed to him to be excellent even if he smelled it.
After all his efforts, he almost pulled his arms off, and the old man finally grabbed the porcelain pot in his hand, as if he was a little excited, and seemed to be afraid that the residual wine would disappear if he delayed for a while, the old man quickly put the porcelain pot to the end of his nose and sniffed it vigorously.
Smelling and smelling, the old man's face appeared a little strange, and then luck shattered the porcelain pot, picked up one of the pieces and licked it, and then his two sparse eyebrows were tightly twisted.
"In this wine, it actually contains vein-intercepting poison rain!"
The old man let out a low sigh, turned his head to look at Li Xunlian, and through the gap in the iron fence, he saw that Li Xunlian's body was already surrounded by black and blue breath, and the breath was like a thick fog, wrapping around the ring, and it did not disperse for a long time.
"Damn, in this case, shouldn't Lao Tzu's efforts be in vain?" cursed viciously, and the old man began to frown and ponder.
This person is one of the top ten demons of the Phantom Demon Sect, and he is similar to the innkeeper in terms of identity, and he is naturally well-informed.
The Pulse Interception Poison Lin is a poison abundant in the Southwest Esoteric Sect, its smell is similar to the smell of wine, it is harmless to ordinary people, and it can even be used to reconcile the concentration of wine, but if Xuan Xiu drinks it, there will be a vicious state of evaporation of the sea of qi in a short period of time, and it is not impossible to take too much, or even directly destroy the sea of qi!
Obviously, Li Xunlian was poisoned, but the porcelain pot is only one palm high, and minus the amount of wine, the vein-intercepting poison contained in it is not too much, but this is enough to make him lose his Xuan Qi within half a time, and he has no combat ability.
However, there is a coincidence that has to be mentioned, that is, the old man has planted a demon root in Li Xunlian's body, and the reason why the demon root is called a "root" is because once the demon root is planted in Xuan Xiu's body, then this thing will become the root of Xuan Qi independently, regardless of restraint or not, as long as it is related to Xuan Qi, the innate demon qi will be automatically derived.
It is precisely because of this that in Li Xunlian's sea of qi now, the Xuan Qi is still reserved, although the vein interception poison lin can destroy the sea of qi in a short period of time, but it must first destroy the demon root before it can launch further damage to the sea of qi.
This is also the reason why the old man cursed after seeing this, he finally seized the opportunity of Li Xunlian's carelessness and planted the demon root into Li Xunlian's sea of qi.
He also counted on this to threaten Li Xunlian to sell his life for himself, whether he could see the light of day again, but it was all pressed on this phantom demon heart devouring seal!
However, even if he is anxious, he is helpless, even if he is a great power of the Divine Sea, he can only be helpless against this strange iron fence, otherwise he can rush into Li Xunlian's room now and force out the vein-intercepting poison Lin with Xuan Qi.
"Damn, at the moment, I can only count on this sub-body vein to be strong enough to resist the interception of the vein poison!" The old man grabbed the iron column and watched Li Xunlian's situation for a moment, it was Li Xunlian who was poisoned, but it was more uncomfortable than Zhong Zhong's body.
Over there, Li Xunlian's consciousness had already begun to blur, and his mouth couldn't stop babbling, which made the old man more and more anxious, eager to turn into a mouse, so that he could make a hole to save his Phantom Heart Devouring Seal.
The old man's reaction, Li Xunlian naturally couldn't see it, he only felt that his mind was muddy now, and his chest and abdomen were even hotter and unbearable, as if there was an inexplicable aura to burst his body, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
This situation lasted for about two quarters of an hour, but under the torment, Li Xunlian felt that the past ten years had passed. It wasn't until the sea of qi shook violently that the painful feeling slowly dissipated.
Instead, there were streams of golden light-like breath that flowed quickly in the body's veins, and wherever they passed, the meridians were smooth, as if they were blocked, and no breath penetrated outward.
With the help of this golden light, Li Xunlian's consciousness slowly began to become clear, his first reaction was that he was poisoned, and his second reaction was to explore the sea of qi within his divine sense.
In the chaotic sea of qi, a dark black bead floated quietly, this was the magic root, but the magic root at this moment was significantly smaller than before, and the black light emitted was also very dim, and it seemed that it would be broken later.
After a long while, Li Xunlian finally returned to normal, he turned over and sat up, and immediately looked at the wine jug in the tray.
However, the wine jug was missing from the eye, and when I looked at it again, I saw the old man holding a broken porcelain piece in his hand, and after carefully looking at himself a few times, he exhaled deeply, as if he had finally put his mind at ease.
Combined with all kinds of signs, after a while, Li Xunlian analyzed the matter roughly.
"Intercept the pulse poison rain?" walked up to the old man and took the broken porcelain piece, and after dipping his finger into the tip of his tongue, Li Xunlian frowned and asked.
The old man nodded with a smile and said, "The old man only knows that your kid's body is supernatural, but he didn't expect it to be so supernatural, wonderful, wonderful!"
Almost instantly, he was able to adapt to the innate demonic qi, and he was able to independently resist the vein-intercepting poison lin, which was related to Li Xunlian's body vein, and the old man had already had a lot of knowledge, and it was precisely because of this that he put his mind at ease.
Although the Demon Root has been severely weakened, as long as it is not completely destroyed, it will not fundamentally affect the Demon Devouring Heart Seal, it is nothing more than prolonging the attack time and reducing the pain during the attack.
Looking at the old man's expression, Li Xunlian felt bored for a while, and his mind returned to this matter, he pondered for a moment, and said to himself: "It doesn't make sense, the pulse interception poison is not a particularly cherished poison, with my knowledge, I should have a sense of it." ”
This is not his boasting, ten years of hard study is by no means a waste of time, according to common sense, the wine contains pulse-intercepting poison, he should indeed have some sense.
After another short period of contemplation, Li Xunlian suddenly woke up, and his eyes swept towards the food residue, "Could it be that there is also poison in this meal, and it is still the colorless and tasteless 'tasteless 'tasteless dispersion' that can make people lose their sense of taste?"
"I was so hungry that I didn't mean anything at all, but now that I think about it, the meal was really tasteless, and I don't remember whether it was fragrant or sweet except to fill my stomach. ”
Thinking of this, Li Xunlian was already able to confirm his inference. In order to make profits, some black businessmen will take a small amount of pulse-intercepting poison and mix it into the wine, so as to greatly increase the concentration of the wine. Therefore, if it was just that the wine contained pulse-intercepting poison rain, Li Xunlian was not sure that this matter was deliberately done by someone with a heart.
However, it is no accident that the food is mixed with deodorant powder!
In this way, two conclusions can be drawn.
First, someone took advantage of Zhao Wu's inattention and threw poison into the meal, intending to temporarily destroy Li Xunlian's qi sea with poison, and then waited for an opportunity to make a move.
Second, the person who released the poison was Zhao Wu!
Continuing to advance with these two assertions, Li Xunlian quickly determined one thing, that is, the person who wanted to attack him was not completely sure to deal with him, and it was even very likely that he was not his opponent at all, otherwise there was no need to use a poison of the type of pulse interception poison lin.
It is not difficult to explain why the person who poisoned the poison did not put lethal poison directly into the drink. The person who poisoned must be King Cheng's henchman, King Cheng is far away in the south, Li Xunlian happened in just one day from the decision to go to prison, it can be said that the incident happened suddenly, and King Cheng's henchmen were completely unprepared. And this place is far away from the city-state, and Li Xunlian is not an ordinary person, so it is impossible to harm him with drugs such as arsenic, but under the strict prohibition of the imperial court, it takes a lot of trouble to buy poisons that can poison Xuan Xiu.
Li Xunlian is locked up here is a great variable for both sides, it is very likely that the inn and the imperial court will catch the demon clan and release Li Xunlian the next day, and it is likely that he will not be able to establish an inch of skill for several months, so whether it is a king or an inn, you need to hurry up and start. It was precisely because of the time that the murderer failed to directly poison Li Xunlian with the deadly poison.
And it has to be said that the murderer can get the pulse interception poison in such a short period of time is his ability, in fact, if Li Xunlian has no god vein, this murderer can indeed succeed.
It's just that human calculations are not as good as heaven after all, Li Xunlian not only has the protection of the divine body, but also was planted into the demon root by the old man by chance.
"It seems that my previous thinking was wrong, the general in charge of the entrance to the Xuanxuan Prison is not King Cheng's henchman, this person is Tianhe Xiuwei, he wants to kill me, you don't have to go to such great lengths, is it ...... Is it really Zhao Wu......"
Frowning and pondering for a moment, Li Xunlian had an idea and pretended to fall on the bed.
According to common sense, this poison can be fully effective in half an hour, so as long as you wait here, you will naturally find out who the murderer is later.
