Volume 3: Lotus Regret (14)
forty
"Cherish your child...... Cherish the ...... Can you hear me...... Cherish your child......"
"Master......" Xiao Lianxi heard Ruoxuan's call and gradually woke up. The jade pendant held tightly in his hand was glowing slightly.
On the eighth day, the eighth day of struggling with inhuman abuse and torture, Xiao Lianxi finally waited for news from Ruoxuan.
Xiaolian wanted to get up, but she caused severe pain all over her body and couldn't move. The damp mist in the cave stained the clothes, and the skin and flesh on the body were boiled day and night, and the wounds everywhere had white pus, exuding bursts of rotting smell.
Gathering her mind, she looked into the cave, and saw Nian Qing sitting under the pillar of light with her eyes closed and meditating, so she endured the severe pain, and tried to mobilize the spiritual power without a trace, but found that the spiritual power in her body was still motionless, and the bundle of immortal ropes on her legs was still imprisoning the spiritual power around her.
Without spiritual power to instill the jade pendant, it is naturally impossible to use the jade pendant to transmit and respond.
"Xi'er, I know you'll be able to hear what I'm saying. Now, your master and I are doing everything we have, searching and rescuing everywhere within the Three Realms, don't worry, I will definitely be able to find you. ”
"The host...... Xi'er is waiting for you......" Xiaolian sat up strongly, put her jade pendant in her hand to her chest, and cried with joy. Although he couldn't respond, Ruoxuan's transmission gave Xiaolian a lot of comfort to her tired and haggard heart.
Suddenly, Nian Qing, who was sitting under the pillar of light with his eyes closed and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, rolled wildly with his head in his hands, stood up again, and slammed his head against the rock wall and roared fiercely. Whenever the cold poison attacks, Nian Qing is stinging this extremely painful appearance.
"Ahhhh Damn cold poison! Damn Lotus Fall! How dare you leave such a vicious thing inside me! Nianqing's eyes were red and wide-eyed, and he turned his head to stare at Xiao Lianxi in the corner of the cave. At the moment, only the blood of this lowly mongrel left by Lianluo can alleviate the bone-eating torture of cold poison.
"Cause and effect, good and evil are rewarded. Beast! If you kill my father, you will deserve your reward! Xiaolian knew that she would inevitably be tortured, and looked at Nianqing, who was walking step by step, but there was no trace of fear in her eyes.
"Hehe, cause and effect, good and evil are rewarded?! If there is a cause and effect, I will read it clearly! The great disciple of the Sanqing Sect! It wouldn't have ended up like this! You shouldn't have been, you shouldn't have fallen into my hands with Nianqing! The cold poison that your father left me before he died will be borne by you, lowly lotus demon, with me! I'll see how he will repay me! ”
Nianqing drank resentfully, pounced on Xiaolianxi, grabbed her blood-stained soft wattle, and bit it down hard, her face as hideous as a ghost.
"Ah~~!" The creepy sound of flesh and bone tearing sounded, Xiaolian screamed bitterly, and her three thin fingers like green onions were bitten off by Nian Qing's teeth!
"Lianluo, you hurt me to live rather than die, this pain, I will let you, the only seedling, enjoy it with me!" The corners of Nianqing's mouth slid scarlet, sucking the little blood left, and the monstrous resentment in his heart was terrifying, so he vented all the torture on Xiao Lianxi, and did his best to be vicious.
......
forty-one
Li Ruoxuan sat in the pavilion of the Shengqing Palace, holding a jade pendant as black as ink tightly in his hand.
This pure black jade, and the white jade pendant in Xiaolianxi's hand, one yin and one yang are a pair. No matter how far apart the holders are, they can also communicate with each other in the wilderness, which is far from being comparable to the method of transmitting sound for thousands of miles.
The call that Xiaolian could hear just now was that Ruoxuan relied on this thing to transmit sound through the air.
He knew that the white jade pendant must still be in the hands of Lianxi, and was imprisoned in the same place by Nianqing, otherwise he would definitely be able to learn the whereabouts of Xiao Lianxi through the mutual induction between the black and white jade pendants, so he tried to contact Xiaolianxi through this transmission, but did not get a response.
"Come to think of it, maybe Xi'er was restrained by Nianqing's spiritual power by some means, and she couldn't use the white jade pendant." Ruoxuan looked at Xing Tian, who was fidgeting on the side, and shook his head, declaring that he had found nothing again.
Xingtian returned to the Southern Heaven Realm, and after urgently sending manpower to join the search, he turned back to the Shengqing Temple, waited for news with Shengqing, and discussed countermeasures.
"Huh! Hurry me too! Eight days! I don't know how much my precious disciple has suffered! Another attempt failed, and Xing Tian was disappointed and angry, and smashed the table in front of him with a punch.
Through the divination of the "Tai Chi Zhantian Array", Ruoxuan knew Nianqing's past well and guided the ins and outs of the whole incident, so he was sure that Nianqing still needed to use Xiaolianxi, and he would definitely not kill Xiaolianxi easily. It's just that the pain of skin and flesh must be unavoidable, Xiaolian regrets that her foundation is weak and her cultivation is still shallow, so I'm afraid that she won't be able to bear it.
Ruoxuan couldn't help but be a little anxious, frowning and thinking about countermeasures.
"It's not a way to wait so much, I'll give it a try!" Xingtian didn't just make up his mind, but without discussing it, he took off into the air and flew away quickly.
Ruoxuan knew that no one could dissuade Xingtian from having a temper, so he could only use his divine power and follow closely behind him.
In an instant, the two have arrived in the human world, stopping in the clouds.
Ruo Xuan looked around at the place he went, and instantly recognized that this was the very center of the human realm and the land of Shenzhou.
The sky is round, and the land of Shenzhou is the main area where mortals are born and nurtured in the human world. The three immortal islands are in its east, west and south, listed in the boundless ocean, respectively named Yingzhou, Abbot, Penglai, to the north is the Stygian Sea, which is the forbidden place of the gods in the heavenly realm "The Platform of the Emperors".
Only those who have deep Taoism and square roots can see their true appearance set foot on the three immortal islands. Nian Qing Dao heart went astray, and he definitely couldn't hide in the three immortal islands. As for the Styx Sea, as a forbidden place for the gods of the Heavenly Realm, its edge has been heavily guarded since ancient times, and there are many levels. After Nianqing's defection to the sect was released, all the heavenly realms joined the search and arrest, and naturally they would not release Nianqing into the Stygian Sea.
The heavenly realm does not tolerate it, and the underworld of the underworld is quite hostile and unconcealed to the gods, so it is naturally impossible to accept Nian Qing. Thinking about it this way, the place where Nian Qing imprisoned Xiaolian must be on the land of Shenzhou.
It's just that Shenzhou is vast and vast, and it is as easy to search every inch of land without missing any omission, just like finding a needle in a haystack, otherwise the Heavenly Realm will not find anything for eight full days when it sends a large number of people to search and arrest.
Ruoxuan couldn't figure out Xingtian's intention for coming here for a while, so he stopped and looked at Xingtian, waiting for his next move.
Xingtian was not puzzled, only to see him sitting cross-legged in the air, closing his eyes and pranayama to operate his divine power.
After about a quarter of an hour's effort, Xing Tian suddenly opened his eyes, and his divine power surged, pushing his invisible divine consciousness away, and quickly spread away in all directions like a tidal wave.
When Ruoxuan saw this, he knew it in his heart. This is the very center of the land of Shenzhou, where Xingtian releases his divine consciousness to cover it, trying to visit every inch of the land of Shenzhou as quickly as possible.
Just as Ruo Xuan thought, all the places where Xingtian's divine consciousness passed were covered by it, the mountains, streams, wild forests, and fields on the land of Shenzhou, but all the scenes under the cover of his divine consciousness flashed from his state of mind one by one, and no corner was missed.
Although these methods are fast, they are extremely consuming and cause a great burden on the divine consciousness. Divine consciousness is the root of the wisdom of the beings of the Three Realms, and once it is damaged, it will be difficult to break the path and stagnate in cultivation, and at worst it will be demented and confused.
"Brother Xingtian, this move is too risky, stop here, and I'll think about it in the long run." Ruoxuan couldn't bear it and spoke out to dissuade him.
"It's okay, for my brother, I am the god of war in the southern sky, and this kind of wear and tear is not enough to worry about. Besides, my apprentice of the god of war was robbed in front of him, he has already lost face, if he can't be rescued, I am afraid that he will be ridiculed in this heaven in the name of the god of war. Xingtian had no intention of stopping, and still tried his best to release his divine sense.
"That Ziran searched with his brother." After that, Ruoxuan was also ready to release his divine sense like Xingtian, but was stopped by Xingtian waving his hand.
"No, if you find the hiding place of the rat, I am worried that the rat will be cornered, and I will die with my son in a hurry. When the time comes, you have to go to the rescue and deal with it. The brother can search alone, and Zi Ran doesn't have to spend his divine power on this matter. After finishing speaking, he said no more, and immersed himself in the search.
Half a day has passed, and the Shenzhou region covered by divine consciousness is only just over half, but Xingtian is already blue muscles and his eyes are red, which is the external manifestation of his divine power.
"Brother Xingtian, stop it! If you search so reluctantly, your Divine Consciousness will be overwhelmed, and your Divine Consciousness will be irreversibly damaged! ”
"Shut up! I don't know what you're talking about? The old man's own affairs are very clear in his heart! Hearing Ruoxuan's dissuasion again, Xing Tian suddenly shouted angrily. Since the two have known each other for thousands of years, whether it is the friendship between the two or the difference in status, Xingtian has never been like this. This was the first time Xingtian was angry with Ruoxuan.
Ruoxuan was not angry at Xingtian's disobedience, but he was more and more worried in his heart. This is a very risky move, as if you put your hand into a mud hole crawling with poisonous snakes and insects, and if you are not careful, you will be poisoned by snake bites and die.
In the future, the progress of the search is becoming more and more slow, firstly, the distance covered by the divine consciousness is gradually increasing, and the burden caused by it is becoming heavier, and secondly, the divine power has gradually bottomed out as the divine consciousness continues to spread.
But Xingtian still insisted silently, and did not allow Ruoxuan to interfere in any way, just gasping heavily, and using his divine power to spread his divine consciousness to a wider area again and again.
For two days, Xingtianpan sat on the clouds and never stopped. The eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all gurgling and dripping blood, but the eyes were still trying to stretch out, and the appearance was very hideous.
"There it is!" Xingtian smiled suddenly, and suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if a thunder exploded from his brain, and a burst of dizziness hit him instantly, Xingtian couldn't support his body, and fell straight down from the clouds to the ground under his feet.
Ruoxuan hurriedly descended and caught Xingtian.
"For my brother, I've found it! It's ...... Just ......" Xingtian had a tired smile on his face, stretched out his fingers, and passed out before he could finish speaking.
"Good work, Brother Xingtian."
Ruoxuan covered his palm on the Xingtian Heavenly Spirit, and the divine power operated, and all the divine consciousness released by Xingtian was withdrawn from it, and he turned a "Taiyuan Qionglu" with his backhand and fed it to Xingtian.
After a short time, Xingtian woke up slowly.
"Heaven lives up to the painstaking people! Found for brother! Brother Ziran, come with me! "After Xingtian woke up, he woke up from the nightmare, and the first thing he did was not to recuperate, but to grab Ruoxuan and look at the southern fire and go quickly.
The coastal area at the southern end of the land of Shenzhou is called the land of the Southern Barbarians by mortals, where it is hot and humid all the year round, full of grass and trees, and many snakes, insects and poisons.
Xingtian and Ruoxuan slowly descended from the clouds, stopping a hundred meters away from a cave and observing vigilantly.
The two of them sensed slightly, and the entrance of the cave was cut off by an invisible barrier.
"Exactly here! Just now, my brother suddenly felt that his divine consciousness exploded, and he was attacked by the divine power attached to this enchantment! Fortunately, with the protection of the secret method given by Emperor Yan, he escaped a catastrophe. When Xing Tian saw this cave, he was overjoyed, and he didn't realize that his consciousness was still stinging violently.
"Nian Qing Rats! The god of war is here, quickly hand over the contact, and surrender! Xingtian shouted at the cave in the air, and the flames swept through, and the dragon-patterned battle axe was in his hand again.
A quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no movement in the cave.
"Rats with their heads and tails shrunk! Death! Xingtian was already in a hurry, but now that the apprentice was close at hand, he was even more impatient, and he picked up the giant axe and cut it off on the head, and the hundred-meter flame training struck out, and exploded above the cave, and suddenly the earth and rocks splashed and the fireworks soared into the sky.
Ruoxuan swept out a gust of wind from his sleeves, blowing away the smoke and dust, and looked around, but the two of them were greatly surprised.
I saw that the entire mountain where the cave was located was wiped out under the divine power of Xingtian, but there was nothing in the spherical barrier suspended in the air in front of me.
"How so?!" Xing Tian looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. He exhausted his divine power and did not hesitate to risk the damage of his divine consciousness to search for two days, but he saw such a result.
Xing Tian immediately picked up the giant axe and threw out one flame after another towards the ground under his feet, in order to vent his monstrous anger, and suddenly felt a wave of weakness attack, and he passed out again.
Ruo Xuan hurriedly used it, humped it to his side with divine power, glanced at the invisible enchantment that was still tightly suspended in the air, smashed it with a wave of his sleeve, turned around and looked at the heavenly realm and flew back.
"Nian Qing, it's not in vain to be the big disciple of the Sanqing Sect, and you put it on your side again."
