Chapter 036: The Unknown Killing Machine

Yanjia Village, noon on the eighty-first day of the pregnancy ceremony.

At this moment, the sky above the central square of Yanjia Village was cloudless and sunny, only the golden thunder that occasionally flashed out of thin air crossed the sky, slashed at Mrs. Yan and Nalan Qiqing, flickered for a while, and then disappeared.

As for the other villagers sitting cross-legged on the stakes, there has been almost no thunder bombardment on their bodies since last night, and as for those who are standing, less than half of them are the men wearing the golden lotus torch helmets, and the fire of life in the helmets is burning very vigorously, many times stronger than the fire eighty days ago.

Obviously, the pregnancy ceremony is almost over.

Although almost half of the villagers and wild wolves at the scene were missing, and everyone was tired at present, everyone understood that they had finally persevered until the last day of the pregnancy, and as long as they stayed up for a few more hours, the pregnancy ceremony would be a complete success.

It's just that while everyone is inexplicably excited and looking forward to it, they will still inadvertently think of the prophecy painting on Ling Fox's wordless heavenly book, that is, there is a black-tailed leafhopper covered in ice will come here to kill.

So I can't help but feel uneasy in my heart, and there is a sense of crisis that I will die at any time.

At this moment, Nalan Qiqing, who was sitting cross-legged next to Mrs. Yan, also woke up, and after nodding and thanking Mrs. Yan, who had been supporting her, she glanced around the entire pregnancy ceremony scene, and her mood was also very complicated, it was a kind of happy and regretful entanglement, which made her become taciturn and sentimental.

Because she knew that although her emperor was saved, it was in exchange for the lives of so many villagers and wild wolves below, so she secretly swore in her heart that she must cultivate Jun Buyu into a generation of Ming Jun, so that she could repay the souls of those people in Yanjia Village who sacrificed their lives to save him, so that they could rest in peace.

In the days when Nalan Qiqing was about to wake up, in the haze, she also saw the golden phoenix above Mrs. Yan's head and the golden dragon dancing above her head, so she knew in her heart that this daughter of Mrs. Yan was very likely to become the most important woman in the future, and it was not impossible to even become the queen.

Therefore, she has already acquiesced in this future imperial daughter-in-law, and has also decided to wait until she enters the palace in the future, she will definitely treat her more kindly, so as not to let her become a victim of the harem for favor, and to protect this best woman given to him by immortality for her own imperial son.

At the same time, it is also equivalent to repaying all the villagers of Yanjia Village for this life-saving grace to the royal family.

It's just that she didn't know that there would be a bigger crisis coming, after all, she hadn't seen the painting on the wordless heavenly book, so she wasn't prepared at all.

In the entire central square of Yanjia Village, there was only one person who knew that this crisis would undoubtedly occur, and that person was naturally Ling Fox Charm, and he also knew that the specific hour would be in Haishi, that is, the last hour before the end of the pregnancy ceremony.

At that time, he will still stand up and block the fatal arrow shot by Bing Wushui for Mrs. Yan, even if he will be seriously injured, he will not regret it, because he is willing to do it for the sake of future plans.

The old village chief not far from Linghu Mei also stared at the sky with a solemn face, and glanced at the entrance of the village from time to time, obviously worried that at the most critical moment of the pregnancy ceremony, it was better not to make any other mistakes, otherwise it would fall short.

After all, Yanyu is the only lotus goddess he has been treated in his life, which is particularly commemorative for him, and he also sincerely hopes that Yanyu can turn evil into good fortune and survive this crisis, and become a generation of virtuous queens in the world in the future, so that the little-known remote village Yanjia Village can be recorded in the royal annals and become a glorious history that the descendants of Yanjia Village are worthy of eternal pride.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the successful conclusion of the pregnancy ceremony, they didn't expect that as early as ten days ago, a group of strangers had quietly sneaked into the underground of Yanjia Village by digging tunnels, and were secretly observing the scene of the pregnancy ceremony, and they were always ready to take action at any time to prevent any crisis that intended to destroy the pregnancy ceremony.

These people are naturally the ghost guards led by the ghost rose, although since coming to Yanjia Village, she has not seen any crisis, but she still smells a trace of crisis with her keen intuition, so in the last few hours of the end of the pregnancy ceremony, she continued to secretly patrol Yanjia Village, and ordered all the ghost guards to cheer up, enclose the central square of Yanjia Village in a circle, and secretly guard the scene of the pregnancy ceremony, and even the village entrance also sent ghost guards to guard, never let anyone enter the village at this moment to interfere with the pregnancy ceremony.

Ghost Rose thought that she was unaware of her actions, but in fact, she had already been discovered by others, and this person was Bing Wushui.

It was silent for eighty days, and then came to the central square of Yanjia Village again, and when it entered the entrance of Yanjia Village, it casually killed two ghost guards hiding underground to monitor the entrance of the village, after all, it is not human, and it has a keen sense of smell that far exceeds that of animals, so it smells the breath of ghost guards from afar.

It wasn't until it stealthily came to the hiding place of the two ghost guards and shot the ice arrow that the ghost guards noticed that someone was in front of them, but it was too late!

They all had arrows in their eyebrows, and they died on the spot, and soon turned into a pool of ice and blood, seeped into the sand, and disappeared forever.

After doing all this, Bing Wushui continued to stealth, swaggering towards the village, and soon, it smelled the breath of many ghost guards again, and after walking around the central square, it had already found out the hiding place of all the ghost guards.

Naturally, it didn't allow anyone to sabotage its plans, so it turned those ghostly guards into ice and blood one by one.

If it weren't for the fact that Ghost Rose happened to go to the entrance of the village to inspect at that time and witnessed the process of the two guards turning into a pool of blood out of thin air, she understood that there was an unknown killer in the village that she could not fight against, and quickly escaped from Yanjia Village for a while, otherwise it would have been the same fate.

It's just that she was unwilling to go back to the imperial city like this, so she decided to lurk near Yanjia Village, wait until the pregnancy ceremony is over, and then find a way to infiltrate the village to find out the news.

Because she wasn't sure who this extremely murderous and stealthy killer was here to assassinate! As long as it is not the Lotus Born Heavenly Son, then it will not affect her plan, and she can still proceed according to the original plan.

Once Liansheng Tianzi died at the hands of this killer, then she could only go back to the imperial city first, and then think of other ways.

When Bing Wushui went on a killing spree and killed those lurking ghost guards one by one, he didn't notice that there was always a phantom woman behind him, and it seemed that if it dared to kill the person the phantom woman cared about, the other party would not hesitate to stop it.

This phantom woman is naturally the owner of the Lotus Immortal Tomb, before she was injured by the flames spewed out by the golden dragon at the moment of the forty-fifth day of the Heavenly Pregnancy Ceremony, at the moment of the attack on the little wolf, she cultivated for almost forty days, and just recovered from her injuries, so she hurriedly rushed to protect the inheritance apprentice Yanyu that she believed in her heart.

If in her lifetime, there were almost no people who could hurt her, but now she is just a phantom remnant. And the remnant soul is the most taboo about the heavenly fire, it just so happens that the golden dragon is the son of the lotus, and the spewed fire is naturally not an ordinary flame, but a heavenly fire, so she was seriously injured and rested for so long before she recovered.

The time that her remnant soul can remain in the world is limited, so she must find the best inheritor before her soul is completely gone, and pass on her life's skills and martial arts to this inheritor, otherwise she will not be blind to death.

Fortunately, she finally found the most suitable apprentice Yanyu to inherit everything about her, and after she was born, she would always be by her side, cultivating her from an early age, and when Yanyu grew up sixteen years later, and completely inherited her inheritance, she also reached the day when her soul was gone.

So in the last ten years before her soul was gone, her only wish was to protect Yanyu and never allow anyone to try to harm Yanyu, which is why she has been following Bing Wushui.

Since she is just a remnant soul, her skills are not as good as before her death, and every time she uses her skills, it will greatly shorten the time for her soul to be scattered, so she doesn't want to shoot casually unless she has to, although it is not difficult for her to kill Bing Wushui, but it will cost her not much skill, so for the sake of the future, she still chooses forbearance.

At this moment, it is getting closer and closer to the success of the Heavenly Pregnancy Ceremony, so she follows closely behind Bing Wushui, ensuring that she can save Yanyu's life at a critical moment, but if Bing Wushui assassinated the Son of Lotus Heaven, she would not need to kill Bing Wushui.

However, her idea was frustrated, because behind her was a man in white wearing a yin and yang gossip mask, who was born to Hexagram Lian.

Hexagram Liansheng followed this phantom woman last time, and after listening to her cruel self-talk, he had a premonition that she wanted to kill Jun Buyu, so after going back, he spent dozens of days re-calculating a hexagram for Jun Buyu, and was surprised to find that the result of this calculation was no longer a birth hexagram, but an ambiguous hexagram, that is to say, it is entirely possible that Jun Buyu would die at any time, which means that someone is really trying to change his life against the sky.

This is not the result he wanted, so he made a decisive move, and used his skills to deal with a phantom woman who was just a remnant soul, which was simply handy, but he never liked to kill, so he just sealed the phantom woman in a budding lotus, and added a seal, as long as no one lifted the seal, she would be trapped in the lotus all the time.

As for Bing Wushui's intentions, Hexagram Liansheng was not worried, because he had already seen through the heavens, and knew that Bing Wushui's assassination of the Heavenly Maiden Yanyu was in danger, and when the time came, Ling Fox Mei blocked an arrow for her, so there was no possibility of going against the sky, let alone changing the result of the safe birth of the Lotus Son of Heaven and the Heavenly Maiden, so he naturally opened his eyes and closed his eyes.

Of course, those villagers who are concentrating on dealing with the pregnancy will not know that in the last few hours of the pregnancy ceremony, many things have happened in Yanjia Village, and many strangers have died, but the only prayer is that the big monster covered in ice will not appear until the last hour.

However, at the moment when the time came, the scene that all the villagers did not want to see came as scheduled, because a big monster covered in ice suddenly appeared in the sky above Mrs. Smoke and Nalan Qiqing out of thin air, and the ice arrow raised high on its tail happened to be aimed at Mrs. Yan's eyebrows......
