Chapter 23: "Hidden Spirit" Stepping Forest
Beneath the surface of the Zhanghe River, the river flows with sediment and rubs past the faces of Ah Qing and Xian'er.
Xian'er's pink hair fluttered in the water, and the aura eyes under Dai's eyebrows stared closely at the man who looked like a water ghost, Ah Qing's face was expressionless, and he sent away the arm holding Xian'er's slender waist, ready to go, and his body was rippling with golden-red spiritual power.
Bu Lin never expected that he would meet the spirit clan who even the leader of the organization was thrilled in this small Ye City, you know, seizing the heaven and earth qi luck on the spirit clan and turning it into his own use, not only can repair all the wounds of the body, including dark diseases, but also can increase the body's affinity for the aura of heaven and earth.
Bu Lin grinned and said: "I originally planned to slip away first, after all, there are still injuries on your body, and someone will take care of you behind you if you are so fearless." But when I met you, the spirit, I had to take a risk. ”
The gray-eyed yin owl man named Bu Lin showed sharp teeth and a calm expression, he raised his chin, looked at Ah Qing and the two with contempt, and said, "I have to clean you up as soon as possible, so as not to have an accident." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ah Qing and the two clearly sensed the river at this time, surging wildly, the sediment at the bottom of the river rolling, and a large amount of river water swept from the upstream.
......
The people on the bank of the Zhanghe River who were watching the "marriage of the river uncle" exclaimed, because the originally bare and cracked riverbed in front of them was instantly flooded by the rising river water in a visible state.
"The river is rising, the river is rising!" cried out the people, their joy overflowing.
Simonbao was silent, looking at the rising river and pondering.
Miao Zhuting Lao smiled gloomily, and the "bride" jumped into the river, she thought that she was calculated by the county order, and the woman was weird. And in front of him, it is obvious that Gongzi has put away the "water toad", such as opening the gate and releasing it.
"My lord, please go back, the Zhanghe River has risen. Elder Ting said triumphantly.
......
The gray-eyed man exuded a strange gray spiritual power around him, and a sneer appeared on his pale face: "Don't you want me to put away the water toad?" ”
An object moved rapidly in the river and swept past Ah Qing's side. I saw a dark green toad with its eyes closed squatting on the person's right shoulder. It was the toad that Ah Qing and Xian'er found that night that they were absorbing the river water.
Bu Lin stroked the pimple toad on his shoulder, and smiled grimly: "Are you ready?"
As soon as the words fell, the gray-eyed man was left with only an afterimage.
Ah Qing pulled the fairy on his side behind him, and the golden-red spiritual power all over his body burst out, and he punched at the fist wrapped in the gray spiritual power that came quickly.
Bu Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted: "Look for death!"
The two fists collided, and the river near the fist was instantly emptied, and there was a loud explosion. There was a splash on the surface of the river, and the people on the shore were dumbfounded, not knowing what was happening.
A strong force made Ah Qing's arm instantly unconscious, and the joints were in severe pain, and the gray spiritual power eroded towards Ah Qing along the arm. The fire attribute spiritual power, which was originally restricted underwater, was extremely thin at this time, and Ah Qing's figure took dozens of steps back, still under the push and support of the fairy behind him, Ah Qing's face turned pale.
Ah Qing's right arm was already weakly hanging down, and the gray spiritual power wrapped around his arm like a maggot on the tarsal bone, no matter how the spiritual power was instilled into the torso, it seemed to be eroded and swallowed.
The gray-eyed man came with another punch, and Ah Qing raised his left arm and placed it horizontally in front of him, wrapped in golden spiritual power, blooming with a dazzling light. A fist and an arm collided, and Ah Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, which was immediately washed away in the river.
Ah Qing and the two of them retreated again, and they had been beaten to the bottom of the river by this person, and the two of them landed on their feet and fell deep into the mud at the bottom of the river.
Xian'er gritted her teeth and tried her best to remove this powerful force.
Ah Qing raised his left hand and wiped his cheeks, his eyes were red, and his right arm was still lowered, but the gray spiritual power attached to his right arm disappeared.
Bu Lin didn't say a word, he was condescending, his hands quickly sealed, and he saw the toad on his right shoulder open its mouth, and Bu Lin said coldly: "Devour!"
The toad's mouth swirled, swallowing the river water, and sending a powerful suction force towards Ah Qing and the others.
Ah Qing and Xian'er stepped heavily, trying their best to resist this traction, and what was even more strange was that the spiritual power on Ah Qing's body was gradually disappearing, and the golden pale red spiritual power emitted from his body was disappearing. This "devouring" is devouring spiritual power!
Xian'er has already put away her spiritual power, and for the "hidden spirit", this is the first time Xian'er and Ah Qing have met. The vice dean once said to Xian'er that if he met a hidden spirit, unless his cultivation was higher than this person, the spirit clan must immediately put away his spiritual power. Because all the spiritual power of the spirit clan will be turned into the nutrients of the hidden spirit of the dark attribute and used by him, this kind of organization that relies on absorbing the spiritual power of others for his own use, the vice president hated it when he mentioned it, and the hatred was obvious.
When Ah Qing hugged Xian'er's waist, he transmitted the sound to ask Xian'er to put away her spiritual power, so as not to cause unimaginable consequences.
Feeling the light attribute spiritual power and a little fire attribute spiritual power that the water toad devoured and fed back, Bu Lin's face distorted. The light attribute spiritual power is the most difficult spiritual power to absorb and transform the dark attribute spiritual power, and the rejection between the attributes is extremely strong, and now Bulin's feeling is similar to eating food that is difficult to swallow, and he is nauseated.
Bu Lin's gray eyes stared at the fairy behind Ah Qing, unable to hide his greed.
"If you don't make a move, I'll kill this kid. Bu Lin said sinisterly.
"Don't!" Ah Qing shook his head and said to the fairy beside him. "He's deliberately provoking you. ”
Deliberately let Xian'er use spiritual power to achieve his goals. No matter how Ah Qing mobilized his spiritual power at this time, he was being sucked away by this strange traction.
No one noticed that Ah Qing was originally bright, but at this time, his eyes were red, and the gray under his eyes was faintly visible.
Xian'er bit her red lip with her teeth, her fists clenched tightly, and her knuckles turned white.
Ah Qing reached into the neckline with his left hand, lowered his head and took off the red rope mutton fat and white jade that had been worn on his chest, which was the only object left by Ah Qing's father and mother. Ah Qing hung the Kunshan jade on Xian'er's neck with one hand and hung it on Xian'er's red chest.
The Kunshan jade of the river is worn on the chest of the fairy, and the intricately engraved jade body emits a faint light.
Xian'er didn't move, letting Ah Qing take down the Kunshan jade and put it on herself, her peach-colored pupils faded away, leaving only the brown color of ordinary people, and her pink hair gradually turned black.
Ah Qing said softly, "Be careful. ”
Xian'er nodded, held the remnant of Aqing's body temperature Kunshan jade, and put it into the neckline, a touch of spring, a piece of beautiful jade.
This is the vice president of the Ordinary Academy, that is, Ah Qing's grandmother, who told him personally before leaving, that Kunshan jade is the only object in the world that can hide the breath of the spirit race. Under the influence of Kunshan jade, some special appearances of the spirit clan will be transformed into the same as ordinary people, and the special spiritual power of the spirit clan will also be covered, even if it is a saint-level spiritual cultivator, it will not be able to see through the camouflage of the spirit clan under the Kunshan jade, and as for the restraint effect of the "hidden spirit" on the spirit clan, it will no longer exist.
Ah Qing clearly remembered that when her grandmother was saying these words, her rickety body kept wandering on the top floor of the library pavilion, and Ah Qing sat upright on the side. But Ah Qing inadvertently saw the sparkle in the corner of her grandmother's eyes.
That sunrise in the library pavilion, Xian'er jumped to find herself, looking at Xian'er's innocent and cute smile, Ah Qing held the Kunshan jade on his chest for a long time and was speechless.
Bu Lin looked at the strange transformation of this spirit girl, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know what was going on.
Bu Lin looked at Ah Qing and thought of the spiritual power that came from the toad, the light attribute and the fire attribute, the two spiritual powers? It is impossible! Only the "hidden spirit" will have the spiritual power before the transformation of the dark attribute.
There is no golden hair color typical of the Gaoyang Clan's spiritual cultivation, and this young man is not from the Gaoyang royal family. But why is it light attribute spiritual power?The change of the spirit girl is also after the boy took out that strange object... Bu Lin took a breath, there were too many secrets in this young man.
Xian'er's body was rippling with green, and her aura eyes were flashing with eagerness.
Without waiting for Bu Lin to speak, the red-clothed figure swept over, and slapped Bu Lin's head with a palm wrapped in the turbulent river.
Bu Lin sneered, "Finally do it?"
The gray spiritual power around Bu Lin's body instantly wrapped towards Xian'er, eating away at Xian'er's spiritual power, Xian'er didn't care about it, one palm was still slapped at Bu Lin, Bu Lin palmed it up, and the original mocking color in his gray eyes froze for a moment, and then it became shocked.
Bu Lin's figure retreated, and the toad on his shoulder also closed his mouth. Ah Qing was weak and weak, staggering and barely falling down, and the spiritual power on Ah Qing's body was devoured, but Ah Qing, who lowered his head, appeared gray and white in the depths of his eyes.
The retreating Bu Lin was unbelievable, and the spiritual power of the spirit girl who was encroaching on it was no different from the spiritual cultivation of the human race, and it was completely different from the inheritance of the organization. The spiritual power of the spirit clan contains the spirituality endowed by the luck of heaven and earth, and this spirituality is the best nourishment for the spiritual power of the dark attribute.
Bu Lin thought of the piece of jade that the strange boy had given to the girl. Could it be?!
Kunshan jade!
Bulin's pupils shrank, his body stopped, his palms overlapped in front of him, and his palms faced the chasing fairy, and he drank: "Liubo Chong!"
The water column erupted in an instant, heading straight for the red-clothed fairy. Xian'er's expression was cold, she tapped her toes in the water, jumped on the water column, and held a branch more than three feet long in her hand between the fluttering sleeves of her clothes, and the branches were dotted with crimson and light red peach blossoms, and a thorn pierced the forest.
Seeing this, Bu Lin sneered at the corner of his mouth, grasped the peach branch that was stabbing at him, ignored the piercing pain coming from his palm, and pulled it hard, leading Xian'er's body to himself, and the fingers of his other hand were bent, as if to buckle Xian'er's neck.
Xian'er let the traction be pulled, her wrist turned and her body turned back flexibly, dodging the hand that pinched her neck, and kicked her legs to Bulin's chest.
The fairy with the seven exquisite hearts reacted purely subconsciously, and when she succeeded, the red embroidered shoes kicked hard, and the spiritual power of the whole body was injected.
With a kick, Bu Lin sent away the painful peach branches, and his body was kicked directly to both sides of the river, smashing into the river wall, lifting the soil and rolling in the river, filling the turbidity.
Xian'er returned to Ah Qing's side and helped Ah Qing to go ashore first, Ah Qing had little spiritual power left at this time, and he couldn't stay underwater for too long. Ah Qing's left arm was on Xian'er's shoulder, and her right arm hung down weakly, and Xian'er dragged Ah Qing towards the river quickly.
......
The people on the banks of the Zhanghe River were terrified, noisy, and panicked. There was such an earthquake just now, and everyone on the riverbank flickered. Moreover, the water of the Zhanghe River has been rising!
Xi Mengbao was surrounded by more than a dozen officers and soldiers, his forehead was sweating, and his right hand was beaten into a fist on the palm of his left hand, hovering left and right.
"My lord, this Zhanghe River is strange, let's go back first. An officer and soldier said.
Xi Mengbao, who was in official uniform, said resolutely: "Don't worry about me, you go and evacuate the crowd first." ”
More than a dozen people were divided into two parts, one of them still surrounded the county order for protection, and the other went to evacuate the crowd.
Zhu Tinglao, who wore gold and silver next to the sedan chair and was full of jewels, was also wandering left and right, and in the past three years, she would only leave after receiving instructions from the prince at the bottom of the river. And now that so long has passed, there is no news of Childe, and the splash, the rumbling sound and the earthquake have just passed......
The old woman had a gloomy face, and came to the front of the county order and the group, and said in a duck voice: "Xi Mengbao, what have you done!"
Xi Mengbao stopped the movement of the hammer and said in a cold voice: "Take her down for me!"
The guards and officers around him immediately pulled out the official knife at their waists and captured Ting Lao.
The originally flustered crowd was quiet for a few moments at this time, and they all noticed the movement here.
Xi Mengbao walked in front of Ting Lao, who was pressed on the shoulder, although the face of the Confucian Prime Minister was not good, but his voice was extremely loud, and he said loudly: "Lao Fu Temple Zhu Ting Lao, go to Zhanghe and ask Hebo, what is going on? Also, by the way, tell him that the water of Zhanghe River is already abundant at the moment. ”
After saying that, Xi Mengbao waved his hand, and the two officers and soldiers dragged the frightened and terrified Miao Zhu Ting Lao towards the Zhanghe River.
"Xi Mengbao! If you dare to do this, Hebo will not let you go! The entire Yecheng will be submerged by the Zhanghe River!" The old woman's face was distorted, her teeth and claws were shaking, and her voice was hoarse.
"Drop it down!" Xi Mengbao waved his hand, and the two sturdy officers and soldiers dragged Miao Zhu and threw it down the Zhanghe River.
At this time, the water of the Zhanghe River is still rising with the naked eye, and it is currently the highest water level in the past three years.
The crowd was very quiet, Xi Mengbao turned around, looked at the crowd and did not speak, his eyes were resolute.
I don't know who clapped his hands first, and then the crowd erupted in warm applause, and the applause became more and more enthusiastic.
Right now.
On the bank of the Zhanghe River, two figures walked out of the river, and the girl in red supported the gray-clothed linen boy.
Seeing this, Xi Mengbao hurriedly went over to support Ah Qing together, Ah Qing's face was like gold paper, and his right arm was even weaker, panting for breath.
The people on the shore didn't know what was happening, but some people recognized that the girl in red was the bride on the bamboo mat! Although the hair color was different, the face was exactly the same, and the crowd was noisy again.
Xi Mengbao, who was supporting Ah Qing, motioned to the officers and soldiers of his entourage to evacuate the crowd, and asked in a low voice, "Two little immortals, has the flood of the Zhanghe River been solved?"
Xian'er glared, and said with anger that couldn't be hidden in her voice: "Didn't you see that Ah Qing was seriously injured?
Xi Mengbao looked guilty, and hurriedly said sorry, sorry.
Ah Qing said weakly: "Xian'er, don't make trouble!"
Xian'er, who was holding A-Qing, snorted coldly and said, "The "Hebo" you mentioned is still underwater, so he should be injured. ”
Simon Bao was so shocked that he didn't dare to speak.
The grass must be cut to the roots, otherwise the spring breeze blows and grows again. Will the people of Yecheng be retaliated against by this monster?
Xian'er guessed what he was thinking when she saw the expression of this county order, and snorted coldly.
Ah Qing said weakly: "Don't worry, we will get rid of this trouble as soon as possible." ”
"Oh?"
A voice came from the Zhanghe River, sharp and piercing.
The people on the riverbank were stunned, looking at each other, and they all heard the voice.
Ah Qing, Xian'er and Xi Mengbao looked back at the Zhanghe River.
I saw the river in the middle of the Zhanghe River surging up, floating a bare, skinny man with a mantle, his hair was scattered, his eyes were weirdly gray, and his mean and gloomy face sneered again and again.
Bu Lin carried the collar of Ting Laohou, who had just been thrown into the Zhanghe River, in one hand, and held a cyan long sword in the other, the hilt of the sword was strange, and the cold light was cold. He threw Ting Lao, who was scolding Xi Mengbao, to the shore, and came alone on the surface of the lake, his pace was slow, his eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth showed sharp teeth, looking at Ah Qing and the two, and said:
"You want to get rid of me?"
"Do you know the Bujia?"
"Let you die under the sword of my Bu family today, which can be regarded as a blessing for your cultivation in your previous life. ”
The man who stepped on the river, wrapped in gray floating silk threads like a water ghost, spoke slowly and clearly.
There was silence, and all the people on the shore trembled, and this ghostly scene was unheard of.
Bu Lin walked towards Ah Qing and the three of them step by step, raised the sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed, and the killing intent spread.
"Bulin, put down the sword in your hand. You don't deserve it!"
As soon as the voice came, Bu Lin stopped, raised his head to look at the yellow sky, and laughed happily.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and Bu Lin was expressionless.
"Step Xingchen!" he said softly, hatred monstrous.
