Chapter 543: Poison Pill
In the vast land, in the depths of the vast 100,000 mountains, a mountain peak that stands upright like a barrier, and the surrounding peaks are undulating and overlapping.
Everywhere is smoky, the vibrant trees reflect the picturesque sunshine, the birds chirp crisply, and the streams wind among the hills and trees.
Look at it from afar, but see the misty clouds and smoke, hovering above the peaks, the white clouds are like belts, the mountain springs are clear, and the green mountains are picturesque.
A quiet scenery of the worldly landscape.
Under that barrier-like peak, among the vines and green vines, in a recessed mountain rock, Li Xuan was surrounded by purple qi, and the vitality in his body was running, straight through the twelve-story building, and the cycle began again and again, until the mist dissipated, he slowly opened his eyes, and in a flash, two purple rays flashed.
He let out a long sigh, recalling the fight just now, and he was still a little shocked in his heart, and secretly discussed: "If I don't have this way to escape, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the ending of burning my body with real fire." The gap between this realm and cultivation is indeed not something that can be made up by tricks. Take this Tianxuan as an example, it's really too expensive to consume true yuan!" Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh a little. I remember that I had just chosen a direction before, and then I fled away from the sky, only to feel that in the darkness, cities, villages, mountains and rivers kept flashing in front of me, and in just a few breaths, I didn't know that I was a hundred and ten thousand miles away.
The speed of this day escape is really a bit appalling. And at this time, there is not much true yuan left in his body. In desperation, I had to hold down the retreat, find this secret place, look at the nose, look at the nose, look at the heart, and then quietly settle down and recover, until now.
In fact, with Li Xuan's current cultivation, on the way to Tianxuan, he can only use one-twelfth of it, and it can't last, if he says that the Tao is successful, he can avoid the burden of sword light, and at that time, it is not difficult to use it, but at this time, he can't think about it, it's too far away!
"The higher the strength, the better, if only I had enlightenment...... But with the surname of Jian Xuanzi's heart, I am afraid that sooner or later I will not be able to get rid of the demons in my body, and the disaster of dissipating the baby will disappear...... Under this dark heavenly path, every step is really like walking on thin ice, even if it is a hundred years of painstaking efforts, it is only careless, it is the fruit of the soul flying away! When time passes, in this dazed and indefinite path, will I be like these people, between the heavenly and human lines, take a wrong step and regret for life? People, when exploring the natural heavenly way, are they really so small?" Li Xuan muttered to himself, with a faint melancholy in his heart, and with a slight wave of his hand, he lifted the surrounding prohibitions, and the color faded. He got up slowly, gently pulled out the covered vines and green vines, and suddenly, a soft light appeared in front of him, looking around, although the sea of light was in the sky, the trees were shady, and it was beautiful, but a wordless sadness was still hidden in his heart.
Being among the vines and flowers, Li Xuan shook his head, took a deep breath of cool air with a faint fragrance of grass and flowers, let him stay between his chest and abdomen for a while, and then slowly spit it out, which made him feel much more comfortable. At this moment, he listened to the crisp birdsong in his ears, looked at the red sky in the distance, and looked at the gray light veil that lingered among the mountains. I only felt that the vast mountains connected to the sky and the earth, and the pale twilight, coming from afar, to nowhere to be seen, and still not wanting to return. At this moment, in his original clear and detached state of mind, a kind of tranquil tranquility that melts into this natural landscape and achieves a sense of concentrating and relieving his mind, and the subtle feeling of "ten thousand transformations and darkness" arises spontaneously, and in the face of such a vibrant natural landscape, Li Xuan can't help but revel in it.
The so-called Tao is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are also big. There are four major universes, and man is one of the four majors. Man imitates the earth, the earth imitates the sky, the heaven imitates the Tao, and the Tao is pure and natural. The law of the Tao is also, and the law comes from nature. Whoever follows the laws of nature will succeed in everything in the world, and those who violate the laws of nature will fail. But there are always such people, once they encounter setbacks, they complain about the heavens and the earth, and they talk about the so-called fight between man and the sky. Who told you to fight with heaven? Heaven has ever punished you for kissing you, but has it ever robbed you of your love? Heaven is so neglectful? Heaven is so sinful? What does personal affairs have to do with heaven? I feel sad for these people. Such slogans may be to make an excuse for some special purpose, or to impose a reason for failure, always feeling that the sky is so far away, and even if it is imposed, it is like swearing to the moon. But they don't know that between heaven and earth, in the darkness, there are gods three feet above their heads.
After a long time, Li Xuancai said to himself with some relief: "Indulge in the mountains and rivers and reach nature, mix the red dust and realize the Tao, contentment is a joy in life, and nothing can be natural." This may be the kind of inaction that a Taoist should have!" After saying that, he smiled, crossed the gravel and grass, and moved down the mountain, not far away, he suddenly stopped, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes, "Huh! Demon Qi ......"
Li Xuan was about to go down the mountain, and his keen spiritual sense suddenly felt a few subtle wisps of demonic energy, and under curiosity, he looked for the direction of the demonic qi and searched all the way.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and the red sky was slowly hanging westward, and the golden light shone on the ancient peak and cold forest in front of him, empty. From time to time, there are a few birdsongs, and the scenery is extremely quiet.
Because of the early escape from the sky, the speed was too fast, only to feel the object flying in front of me, and when I could press the light, I no longer knew where I was. Li Xuan looked for the demonic aura that seemed to be absent and walked forward slowly, because there were many streams and streams in this mountain, forest, water, and stream, Li Xuan relied on the law of shrinking the land to cross the past. After a short time, when I walked to a place, I saw that the mountain in front of me was steep and very treacherous, and there was a small valley in the middle, which was filled with mist, and the faint demonic aura emanated from this valley.
In order to be on the safe side, Li Xuan looked for a small mountain peak to hide his figure, and only then did he look around, only to see that the valley was full of rocks and hideous, surrounded by dark dense forests, and in the middle of a flat land the size of a pitch was not grassy, and the faint mist was miserable and misty;
There is a big hole at the end of the valley near the stone wall, the surrounding rocks are dark brown, the hole is deep black and the bottom is not visible, and from time to time there is a cry of "ho woo woo", like joy and sorrow, sometimes high and sometimes low.
Staring at the black entrance of the cave, Li Xuan secretly asked: "Is there any monster in this cave?" was surprised to himself, when he saw a sudden strong wind in the valley, saying that it was too late, it was fast, where the wind started, the trees on both sides of the valley suddenly made a noise, and a gust of wind blew up sand and gravel particles and rolled around in the center of the valley. In the middle of the woods, there were two huge red lights, which were flashing and shining. In an instant, I could hear the sound of brushing, and a big snake burst out, Li Xuan's heart was slightly frightened, and he looked at it fixedly, only to see that the snake's head was bigger than a bucket, with golden scales and red eyes, a body length of more than ten zhang, a waist like a bucket, a single horn on the head, bloody steel teeth, and red eyes like electricity. As soon as he reached the clearing in the valley, he coiled up a huge body, with the head of the snake held high, and the red letter was spitting out, and he hissed at the dense forest beside him, looking at the posture, as if he was provoking something.
"Looking at this posture, I'm afraid that it is already condensed Neidan, and it is only about to be transformed. Looking at the strange appearance of the giant snake, Li Xuan wondered if he was going to put on a good show, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but have a lot of fun. At that moment, he hurriedly placed a ban around him, and at the same time twisted his body, transformed the five elements, turned into a leaf, and fluttered on a small tree that was about to be staged, so leisurely waiting for the good show that was about to be staged in the valley.
It is said that as soon as Li Xuan hid his body here, he saw a black mist suddenly rise in a dense forest opposite the giant snake, rising in a curling manner, and it did not disperse in the strong mountain wind, and there were also two green lights swaying from side to side, and Li Xuan's eyes could not see what was hidden there.
As the black mist rose, the stench drifted away with the wind, but wherever the black mist went, the trees were dead and the grass withered, and even some small rocks were shattered in a crackling sound.
Looking at the spreading black fog, Li Xuan was also secretly frightened. Such a poisonous thing, although he is not afraid, if ordinary people encounter it, it is absolutely unavoidable, and he has some plans in mind at the moment, but at this time, the show has not yet been staged, and he does not want to show up.
Just when Li Xuan sighed for the poisonous mist, he saw that in the black mist, there was a sudden sizzling sound, during which the two green lights suddenly paused, and in an instant, a black light flashed, and something suddenly burst out, landing on the opposite side of the giant snake, and screaming towards the giant snake with teeth and claws.
It was only at this time that Li Xuan was able to see the true face of this highly poisonous thing. But on the opposite side of the giant snake, a giant centipede with wings on its back, more than two feet long at the head and tail, two feet wide, its head like a wheel, its eyes the size of a sea bowl, the green glow, the whole body of red and dazzling, illuminating the valley red, the hideous huge head pincers, the winding centipede body like flying, it is terrifying to see.
It is said that as soon as the flying snake reached the opposite side of the giant snake, it stood up with a half-thick body, dozens of pairs of iron claws kept swinging, and the green light of the two eyes flowed, making a sound like grinding teeth. The two huge steel tongs kept opening and closing, "clicking" and clicking, as if demonstrating to the giant snake. As soon as the giant snake saw the centipede coming, it also tightened the hill-like snake formation, the red light shone in the giant eyes, and the two huge fangs more than three feet long flashed with a faint green edge, and it was not to be outdone.
Looking at the two fierce creatures in the valley, Li Xuan couldn't help but look forward to it, but after waiting for half a salary, the snake and the centipede were still staring at each other with such big eyes, confronting each other, and they couldn't see that either side wanted to attack.
Li Xuanzheng wondered to himself, and suddenly heard a burst of "woo-woo" from the dark deep cave, which was rapid and high-pitched, and seemed to have some impatience in it. As soon as this cry started, I saw that the snake and the centipede shook at the same time, and they roared at each other, and the red shadow flashed, and the centipede sprang up, spreading its wings, and a pair of steel tongs flashed coldly, and pounced on the giant snake.
As soon as the giant snake saw that the centipede was fierce, it did not slack off, and when it opened its mouth, a miserable black mist erupted, mixed with a few points of crystal, castrated like electricity, and came towards the flying centipede cover.
Seeing the giant snake spitting poisonous mist from its mouth, the flying snake seemed to be a little afraid, only to see its wings vibrate, and its huge body shook, which could avoid the oncoming black fog, and was still as fast as lightning and rushed towards the seven inches of the giant snake.
When the snake saw that the centipede avoided its black mist, it knew that it had met a strong enemy, and it was not lazy, so it suddenly stretched out its huge body and fought with the centipede. For a time, in the empty valley, the sand and stones were flying, the poisonous juice was splashing, the two sides only fought in the wind, the miserable fog was miserable, and countless big trees with thick hugs were broken by the snake's tail and claws, and the sound of biting and violent collisions echoed endlessly, and the battle was extremely fierce. After fighting like this for a while, the two were on equal footing, but they both seemed to have a fierce surname. Tossing back and forth, I saw that the centipede suddenly stopped its body, struggled to get its body entangled, and bit the seven inches of the giant snake violently. Under the severe pain, the snake also fell over, and the snake body more than ten zhang long wrapped the centipede tightly from head to tail, and then twisted the snake's head, and also bit the steel tail of the centipede, and refused to relax twice, and no one could help anyone. The body of the centipede was strangled by the giant snake and the mist was steaming in a pair of green eyes, and the giant snake was also bitten by the centipede, and the remaining half of its long tail was swept around the mountain rocks, beating the mountain stones like hailstones, scattering and flying in all directions, which was a spectacle.
The two sides held each other for a moment like this, and suddenly there was a shocking sound, and the snake and the centipede seemed to have a tacit understanding, and at the same time let go of each other's bodies, and each retreated a distance, observing each other vigilantly.
"Hehe! It's interesting, it's such a good show, I'm afraid it's rare in a hundred years!" On a small mountain peak on the right side of the valley, a branch and leaf sticked out of the small tree outside the cliff, and a tender green leaf shook slightly.
The snake and the centipede continued to confront each other, red and green lights surging on both sides, both of them seemed to be afraid of each other, but for some reason they didn't dare to let go. After another half of the meal, I could only hear the cry of "ho-woo-woo" in the dark deep cavern, and it became a little hurried, mixed with billowing white mist and rushed out of the hole. The rapid cry echoed through the valley, and this time even the discontent could be heard.
Almost at the same time, the serpent and the centipede let out a tragic hiss at the same time, and the serpent stretched its huge body straight, and its eyes were red and shot out, and the centipede also arched itself, and the huge green eyes flashed with some sadness.
The next moment, I saw the body of the giant snake shook, the huge mouth was wide open, and there was a fireball as big as the mouth of a bowl, and a crystal clear fireball erupted, and there was billowing smoke on all sides, directly hitting the centipede on the opposite side. Under the light of light, it added a bit of tragic and bright red to the valley in the twilight.
The giant snake here spits out the inner dan, the red light is excited, and the centipede over there also violently bows its body all the way, and in the giant mouth with interlaced canine teeth, a thick black mist suddenly emerges, and a black bright bead the size of a fist also appears in it, accompanied by the tumbling black mist, towards the bright red snake pill in the air.
In just an instant, I heard a loud sound of "boom ......" that shook the earth and the earth, in the valley, red, black, back and forth, thick ink and heavy color, smoke and dust rolling, fierce and incomparable air waves swept away in waves in a radial shape, where they passed, the mountains and rocks cracked, the trees withered, that called a tragic phenomenon, it is really impossible to describe in words. And after the loud noise, the giant snake and the centipede were also bounced up at the same time, but they did not retreat, and still urged their inner dan to hold on to each other with all their might, as if they were not dying.
At the moment when the two sides could not hold each other, in the deep cave under the cliff wall, there was suddenly a white viscous mist gushing out, gathering at the mouth of the cave, condensing but not dispersing, looking at it from a distance, as if it was congealed [***], reflecting the afterglow of the sunset, it was very beautiful.
At the moment when a white mist gushed out of the mouth of the cave, the snake and centipede in the death match let out another terrible hiss, and the red and green eyes showed a look of horror, and they were desperate to urge their inner dan, as if they could be liberated as long as they defeated the other party.
With the full urging of both sides, the red and black two red beads in the air slowly approached, and their respective mist also violently repelled and rolled up, and in the turbulent air, there was a crackling sound from time to time; 。
This snake and centipede fought a battle, and in the end, they unexpectedly fused each other's inner pills that they had cultivated together, which is really a rare thing in the world. As we all know, the snake belongs to yin, the snake belongs to yang, yin and yang have the same surname, and the two sides of the battle are forcibly squeezed with their own pure demonic power, and they actually merged the two into one in that almost unobtainable space, which is also a wonderful coincidence in reason!
At the moment when the two Inner Dans fused, there were suddenly bursts of sharp chirps from the deep cave not far away, which seemed to be extremely excited, and the white mist condensed at the entrance of the cave also began to surge, slowly surging towards the dark red beads hovering in the air in the center of the valley. At this time, the giant snake and the centipede relaxed one after another, lying on the ground weakly, looking at the dazzling beads that were still in the air, and there seemed to be a trace of relief and reluctance in the dim giant eyes.
As the milky white mist approached, the giant snake and the centipede moved their bodies backwards in unison, but they did not dare to go far, and the giant eyes were full of fear.
Just as the giant snake and the centipede moved their bodies, they saw that the milky white mist suddenly rolled, and then slammed inward, revealing a gray thing, and Li Xuan in the distance was able to take a closer look at the mysterious messenger behind the scenes.
Looking at the creature that appeared in the white mist, Li Xuan recognized it at a glance, it turned out to be a gray scorpion more than three meters long. A pair of large pincers of a meter length were raised above his head, and his gray body was inconspicuous, except for a slender scorpion tail that was actually yellow and shining with dazzling golden light, and it was raised high, like a big flag, always showing off its unique side to people.
