Chapter 73: Debt
Maybe his body was not bad, or he resonated with the wandering evil qi below, and soon he regained his strength, reaching out before the opening was completely closed, and used all the cultivation accumulated over the years on it, barely tearing the opening a little bigger.
The sun shone on the bottom of the water, and he stayed in the dark for a long time, and the light almost stabbed his eye.
The gongs and drums above were noisy, the suona sound was bursting, and it was very lively, and the red ribbon floated down from the bridge, covering a ray of skylight, and it also allowed him to close his eyes and relax.
He paused, and then he tore the crack with all his might, and it seemed that the bigger the crack, the more the movement became, and there was a frightened scream overhead, and the granite bridge suddenly collapsed, and countless figures mixed with stones fell in his direction.
The opening was finally big enough to accommodate him, and the seals that were still intact around him were gathering back little by little, and he couldn't care so much, gritting his teeth and digging out, being smashed under the stones and people.
The evil qi under it also overflowed along the crack, and the tentacles rushed out like tentacles and wrapped around the necks of those people, pulling them back fiercely, and he watched as the three souls and seven spirits of those people were pulled out by the stream of evil qi and dragged into the crack.
He realized that he had done something wrong, and reached out to close the opening, but he was using these evil qi to cultivate, but he did it a disservice.
Fortunately, this layer of sealing is quite powerful, and after he withdrew his hand, he kept closing, and the souls of those people were caught in that gap, becoming a patch to repair the rift.
In the process of falling, someone was injured by stones, and blood flowed out of the wound, mixed with the water, and scared away the fish, and the aquatic plants that grew very well swayed in a blood mist, which was extremely strange.
There was a person whose robe was washed away by the water, swaying and falling to him, the red clothes were blistered and faded, mixed with the surrounding blood, he reached out and scooped it up, and embroidered the auspicious pattern of the dragon and phoenix with gold thread, with the red clothes, which should have been a symbol of festivity.
He was stunned, he didn't expect things to turn out like this, and wanted to tear the gap open again to pull those souls out, but the seal seemed to be closed, repelling his demonic energy, he couldn't resist it, but he was also injured by the rebound.
This situation made him afraid to go ashore, and since the incident has passed, the surface of the water has not stopped, and people continue to go into the water to salvage the previous people, mixed with heart-rending cries, and he hid in the depths of the aquatic weeds and did not dare to let them see it.
Until the bridge above it was repaired, one night a woman dressed in red went to the river in despair, knelt there and wept for a while, and then plunged into the river.
The woman's eyes widened in horror when she saw him, but she didn't have time to react The water around her poured into her nostrils and mouth, and he lay between the water and grass and watched her lose her life little by little, and a wisp of soul detached from her body.
Soon the river was lively again, and a few people came down to take the woman's body away, and the woman's soul was unmoved, but stared at the seal with extremely gentle eyes.
"My Peng Lang is here, I'm not going anywhere."
That was the only thing the woman said to him.
The spirits gathered here, and the resentment was extremely heavy, and it was because of him that he soon attracted the curse of heaven.
A thunderbolt slashed directly through the water, and he hit him the back, glanced at the panicked woman, and gritted his teeth and got out of the water.
The souls below all came from him, and he couldn't bear to let them be killed by thunder.
A few wisps of golden qi flowed out of his sleeves, and in an instant, they entered the mouth of the man who was caught in the seal, and his faint soul that was almost disappearing slowly condensed into a human form.
"Peng Lang!" The woman on the side rushed over with tears in her eyes, "Peng Lang, are you feeling better?" ”
The man who was caught by the seal had already been soaked by the evil qi underneath and was inhuman, and when he saw someone coming, his eyes were blood-red, and he opened his mouth to bite, but the aquatic eye quickly pulled the woman away, and the man threw himself into the air and roared to break free from the crack.
The woman didn't expect to be treated like that, she was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, her eyes filled with annoyance, and she slapped her palm on the shoulder.
Shui Sheng's eyebrows twisted, and he took a few steps back in silence and stood still, followed by the woman's sharp questioning voice.
"What's going on? How could Peng Lang want to hurt me, what have you done! ”
Shui Sheng moved his lips: "The evil qi underneath is too heavy, he has been eroded very much, and the previous weight is no longer enough to make him sober." ”
The woman shook her head in disbelief, took a few steps back and squatted down to hug herself, her voice dyed with crying: "How can this be......"
He turned his head to look at Peng Lang on the seal, he had already been cut off when the big seal was closed, and now he is only a person who only keeps his upper body intact, but he is also stuck to the seal and can't move, if he hadn't been secretly extracting life from people in the world to nourish him, this person would have been swallowed up by the evil qi below like other souls.
"No......" The woman looked up at Peng Lang with affectionate eyes, with a bit of determination in her voice, "He can't go, he has to accompany me." ”
As he spoke, he pounced viciously on Shen Mu, pinching his collar with both hands.
"Those are not angry enough! You go find it for me again, this time it's going to be more!" ”
Shui Sheng did not struggle, his eyes looked at her calmly, the woman in front of him was always smiling when she was good, sitting on the stone next to Peng Lang and babbling the story of the two of them, occasionally going to tease the fish swimming past, watching them stupidly burrow into the cracks in the stones, laughing like a child who has not grown up.
Of course, these will only exist when Peng Lang is sober.
"More and more, and people will die." He informed her directly of the consequences.
The anger of mortals is directly related to Yang Shou, if he is gone, he will die, he doesn't dare to take too much to make trouble, every time he takes out some from different people, a little bit of accumulation is enough to support Peng Lang.
He pulled the woman's hand on his collar little by little: "Even if you can't attract the curse, you will be noticed, and sooner or later the monster hunter will be lured." ”
"I don't care!" The woman grabbed him by the collar and shook it twice, "You owe me this!" ”
Shui Sheng paused slightly, and pulled her hand off with heavy force, the woman couldn't stand the foot and staggered back a few steps, and continued to yell at him after steady: "If he is gone, do you see if I will go up and stir up this world!" ”
