Chapter 361: The Smoke and Dust Fall
From the village to the place where the demons were to be subdued and subdued with the mountain gods, there were about 100 miles, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, so they walked for two days and two nights.
Even if Caique was injured, this distance could be reached in half an hour, but Hu Xianxian still let Caique circle and fly slowly with them.
After arriving, Hu Xianxian realized that this place was under the lonely peak where the corpse cave was located, but the lonely peak was gone, and the collapsed place was like a huge grave in the distance.
Shangren's brocade robe and jade belt, standing proudly on a temporary wooden platform under the grave. On the left side of the wooden platform is a high wooden frame with a knife as a ladder, and on the right is a charcoal fire paving the ground.
This village, which is nearly a thousand miles in radius, sent sorcerers and warriors to come, and when they saw Shang Ren, they all knelt down and bowed.
Shang Ren raised his hand to them coldly, and when he saw Hu Xianxian, he didn't greet her directly, but looked at her with a complicated expression.
Hu Xianxian knew that he had ulterior motives for doing this, and he was not in a hurry to ask him what his intentions were. She bowed her head to him, signaling that he was going to do what he was going to do and not pay attention to himself.
Shang Ren asked the sorcerers to do it first, and then the warriors climbed the wooden ladder of the sword, which means to go up the knife mountain, and then walked through the road paved with charcoal, which means to go down to the sea of fire.
After going up to the Sword Mountain and going down to the Sea of Fire, these warriors are of course the true warriors valued by the mountain gods. The warriors were very excited, and they all looked enthusiastic.
Hu Xianxian teased Caique for a while, and looked at them a few more times, she was not interested in these tricks, so she wanted to see what Shang Ren was going to do, and wanted to know if her guess was correct.
Shang Ren walked and danced the seven-star sword, and after he finished reciting a long list of incantations, a zombie popped out of the nearby woods.
Hu Xianxian's face darkened, and he sneered at Shang Ren. Shang Ren pretended not to see her sneer, and continued to "subdue demons and subdue demons".
Zombies under the scorching sun are already difficult to hurt, and this zombie is covered with rune paper, which is even less aggressive. The so-called "subduing demons and subduing demons" is just a play, and this scene is so fake that Shangren himself is full of embarrassment.
Hu Xianxian didn't continue to laugh at him, she was a little puzzled, and more Mu Ran.
When the zombie finally fell to the ground, the warriors swarmed up, removed the knife from the knife mountain to cut it, and dragged it into the fire to burn. The zombie, which was lifeless and would no longer move, gave them the joy of victory, and every warrior's face was full of victorious pride.
Shang Ren had already walked to Hu Xianxian's side and was ashamed of her. Hu Xianxian shook his head, didn't say anything, and looked at him with doubt.
Shang Ren knew what she wanted to ask, and took the initiative to say: "There are not many people who can still keep their physical bodies with their human bodies, and my mana to become immortals with my physical body is not low." But I know very well that although my mana is high, it is because I know both Dao and Gu arts, and although my magic is strong, my Dao law is low. Although I am an earth immortal, I dare not complain about the heavens. ”
Hu Xianxian was even more puzzled when he heard him say this, and Shang Ren smiled helplessly, "Cultivator, the path of enlightenment is the right way, and no matter how powerful the technique is, it is the art and not the Tao after all." What I have learned has fallen behind, but these inferior techniques are an incentive for ordinary people to respect the Tao and revere the Tao, which is the easiest shortcut for them to accept the Tao. ”
Hu Xianxian understands one thing, he is preaching the grand way with this, although it is a last-rate skill, his heart is commendable.
Seeing that Hu Xianxian did not reprimand, he continued: "Erihun has fled, and since he can refine zombies, it is inevitable that there will be a day when zombies will run rampant. In order to be safe, it is also a precaution that more people can learn the art of restraint. ”
Hu Xianxian nodded, what he did was to let those wizards and warriors practice in advance, and there was nothing wrong with it.
In the end, Shang Ren saw that she was not completely relieved, and said a little hesitantly: "No matter what...... How do I spell...... I will not be an enemy of the Lord of Qingqiu...... Even if I have a heart, my daughter will not be biased against me......"
Hu Xianxian didn't say anything, but Shang Ren had to show his attitude that the matter of the palace's father and daughter could never be repeated in Qingqiu Country again.
Hu Xianxian smiled with relief after all, he was right, Shang Weiran was not Gong Qian'er, she would definitely not hurt Lie Yufeng.
Hu Xianxian smiled and rode on the colorful magpie and flew around the big grave pile again and again. She only stayed in that dark corpse cave for half the night, but that half of the night had changed the fate of countless people.
As she came to a rest, she saw many warriors planting flowers on the mound, transplanting a wild flower from the forest. Looking at these five big and three rough men quietly planting flowers with sadness on their faces, she felt a strange sourness in her heart.
Seeing her looking curiously, Shangren said that this flower was Qiu Hui. Hui quality orchid heart, Hui orchid is the same kind of flowers, Hui Hua is large and fragrant, orchid is small and fragrant. The Central Plains advocates Lan as a hermit in the valley, and Manshan advocates Hui with a fragrant soul.
The zombies buried in the lime mountains have no souls, but they are relatives and friends of the barbarians, sending mourning with flowers and praying for the rest of the souls of the deceased.
On the way back, Hu Xianxian bowed to Shang Ren and said goodbye without a word. She did not go to Sangin Cave Mansion again, nor did she immediately travel far, she did not recover from her injuries, and went to the barbarian village to recuperate.
The people in the village respected her very much, and she could do whatever she wanted, but she didn't bother them much except to ask them to decoct medicine and send tea.
Many times she was sitting on the slab of the stilted building, and they didn't dare to think that she was sitting in a daze, they thought that she was doing a special kind of cultivation. It's a pity that she is in a dejected daze.
The weather in the mountainous region is hot and humid, and it is still hot in October. The stilted building where Hu Xianxian lived was on the edge of the village, very close to the mountains and forests. The floor slabs are made of simply cut cedar planks, which are rough and strong.
She sat on a small slab on the edge of the building, and would not enter the house without taking medicine. She sat still, and Caique sat with her.
The lung injury didn't improve much, but it was still better in the end, and it didn't cough as soon as he spoke. She didn't cough so much, but she still didn't want to speak.
She didn't want to speak, she didn't know what to say, she didn't know if she would become dumb from the injury.
She'd been injured many times, worse than this one, but none as hard to heal as this one.
Hu Xianxian recalled the previous battles, from suppressing the bandit nest in Gaojia Village, fighting with Kuai Diancong, to making a black mine to save people, exterminating insects, driving away the monks, fighting for the golden crown of ink, fighting for power in Qingqiu Kingdom, etc., and even running to the earth to break the underground shrine, she seemed to win in the end. But why is it that after every victory, there is no joy of being a winner?
Even if the hidden danger of the corpse cave was removed this time, and E Rihun and Gong Qian'er fled in the wilderness, she still didn't feel joy at all.
Does the joy of victory need someone to share in order to be happy?
In the middle of the night, she was still sitting there, looking intently at the stilted buildings in the stockade.
The distant mountains are dyed like ink, these stilted buildings are like rough freehand, and the scene in the village unfolds a simple and quiet picture in front of her eyes.
Hu Xianxian looked at the starry sky with a smile, and asked in his heart: "Haofeng, am I a ruthless and bad girl?" If you were there, would you sit here with me after the victory and watch the peaceful night in this stockade? ”
The stars twinkle as if they were blinking, is he blinking? Did he want to say, bad girl, keep staring like this, aren't your eyes tired?
Hu Xianxian blinked and kept staring, his eyes were really a little sour.
