Chapter Seventy-Three, Goodbye to the Dead
readx;? Zhang Lu held the "spring breeze in the electric light and shadow" obtained from the void world, with a total length of three feet and eight inches, a blade length of two feet and seven inches, a blade width of one inch and eight minutes, and a ridge thickness of three points, similar to the common swords in the Tianyuan world, but the material is unknown, so the weight is doubled, nearly ten catties. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After stepping into the realm of selflessness, he tried to slash out the sword qi in the process, up to twice the length of the blade, that is, more than five feet.
And this time he stabbed the throat of the dragon, the legendary "reverse scale" part, Zhang Lu tried his best, thinking that he could force the sword qi to more than one zhang - Tang Liyu's skill has almost doubled, not to mention Lao Tzu? Who would have thought that the green qi would be closed as soon as it rose, and it would only be six feet to death......
That's not scientific!
But even if it can really stimulate more than one zhang of sword qi, even the blade of the sword is three or four zhang, for a dragon as thick as a building, it is only a hair. Even if the demon dragon's anger was really hidden under the throat, it was impossible to cling to the outer wall, and it must have a certain depth, not to mention that as soon as the dragon shrank its neck in time, Zhang Lu's sword basically failed, and only cut off a thin layer of clay.
But as a temptation, this was enough, and Zhang Lu immediately shouted, "The key is in the throat!" But then the dragon shook its head violently, and Zhang Lu was forced to retreat sideways—fortunately, in terms of agility in flight, he was more than a step above his companions, and was able to avoid it easily.
Li Yanchao slashed the dragon's jaw with two knives, cracking several boulders, and then Tang Liyu also rushed over, and under the cover of Li Yanchao, he punched the dragon in the throat. The giant dragon was huge, so it was slow, and its head had just fallen to chase Zhang Lu, and its throat was inevitably exposed.
I saw Zhang Lu's figure trembling slightly in the air, and then disappeared—it was just an afterimage—and in the blink of an eye, he appeared directly in the hole under the dragon's throat. It was a very fatal position, the dragon's kiss couldn't be attacked, and the front paws were too short - relative to the body, of course - to reach out, so they had to fight to shrink their necks. Zhang Lu found that the surrounding soil and rocks were surging towards him, as if he was going to completely squeeze and crush himself.
But—you have no choice but to compete with me, and you want to compare speed with me? He put his left foot on a boulder slightly, turned his body vertically, opened the way with his long sword, and then chiseled inward about a foot deeper, only to see a faint black gas lingering between the cracks of the earth. This black gas is both thick and smart, rolling like a cloud, and faintly exuding a sour and rotten atmosphere.
The black qi is ethereal, and the sword must be constantly chopped, and the sword qi is stimulated, and it is estimated that it can only be slightly injured. But Zhang Lu had already understood at this time that the sword technique he had obtained from the Tianyuan World had not increased much in this Qingxuan World, but the strength was that most of the spells obtained from the Pocket Earth World could already be used. The gas is very likely to burn, and it can also be cooled and frozen, as long as you play a little water, fire and other spells, even if you are not good at it, it is enough to hit this demon dragon fiercely.
It's just, what's the hurry, and I'll study it first, what kind of monster are you? Zhang Lu's eyes widened, and the crooked "Lingtai Mirage" was immediately cast - now that his true qi is free, he doesn't have to reach out and press the other party's head to send his soul into it.
It was dark in front of me, as if I had fallen into a bottomless abyss. Zhang Lu knew that he had succeeded, but he was not afraid, he tried his best to concentrate his mind, and gradually distinguished the surrounding situation purely with his senses. It turned out that he was in a long and narrow tunnel, and the vitality around him was surging, flowing in the direction behind him—this was probably the so-called "leyline".
The dragon came out of the leyline, which was expected, but in fact, what Zhang Lu wanted to see more was-
"Are you sick?"
A familiar voice came from not far away, Zhang Lu Dingqing took a look, and saw that the man was wearing a giant helmet of Niujiao, leather armor on his upper body, pants and boots on his lower body, and a bright red cloak on the outside. It's a pity that the figure is a little hammery, the flesh is more than the muscles, and the big round face is not like the boxing champion Rao at all, but there are three points like the demon Buu......
Zhang Lu smiled and asked, "Why did you change your dress?"
Lingtai Jun pursed his lips and sat down on the spot: "I'm just a reflection of your inner expectations, originally you wanted to be a hooligan, then I was like a hooligan, and now you want to be a boxing king, then I will naturally be like a boxing king......"
"Not at all. ”
"Because you can't be a boxing champion either. ”
Zhang Lu sighed softly: "It's been a long time...... I just want to come in and see if you're still there......"
Lingtaijun shrugged: "Of course I'm here." Although theoretically speaking, cultivating the Immortal Dao can merge the surface consciousness and the deep consciousness into one, but the theory is always just a theory. Do you know what you're doing right now?"
Zhang Lu didn't answer, just looked at the other party without blinking.
"Your present behavior is called 'asking the heart.'" How big the universe is, how deep the human heart is, and it is also endless, even if you really become a god and become a super three-dimensional creature, you will always have the heart to ask, so I am in the ......"
As he spoke, he didn't know where to take out a cigarette and put it to his mouth: "But I'm also strange, you have so many good friends outside now, why do you want to come in and find me?"
Zhang Lu smiled: "Because I am still an arrogant person by nature...... I'd like to explore the puzzles that have arisen during the recent crossing......"
Lingtaijun lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and pursed his lips: "Don't ask me about this." Originally, you were not in a good state, your mind was not clear, and many details of your life were ignored, so you came to me to ask. But in this way, I am not so much your deep consciousness as your deep emotions, emotions to ask, puzzles not to answer - you have already figured it out yourself, and I can't give you more advice. ”
Zhang Lu nodded, this was also expected. With the ascension of the realm, his thinking is more open and clear, he will not let go of any detail in his life, nor will he instinctively hide the information that is unfavorable to him, although his heart is bottomless, there are always corners that shallow consciousness cannot take care of, but this really has nothing to do with the situation of the outside world - the situation of the outside world, he does think very thoroughly.
It's just—"What's in this dragon's heart?"
"Just walk forward by yourself, just stare at yourself. ”
So Zhang Lu left Lingtai Jun for the time being and strode forward against the tide of vitality. This road is tortuous, and I don't know where it leads, and there will be branches from time to time, but as long as you sense the direction of the vitality, it is still easy to find the source. Because his consciousness was moving, he took a thousand steps, and it didn't take long for him to discover the target he was looking for.
It was a myriad of pitch-black remnants, tangled and coiled with each other, churning like waves. Beneath the remnant souls, in the depths of the leylines, more dragon corpses are piled up on top of each other......
God, how angry is this! Only now have four giant dragons emerged from the ground, and this Qingxuan world is really blessed......
Zhang Lu carefully observed those dragon corpses and found that they were of different sizes, but compared to the demon dragons seen in the Heavenly Pillar of the Void Brahma World, even the largest ones were several times smaller. Roughly estimated, the largest dragon can be seen on the surface about two miles long, and the smallest is only three or four hundred meters.
Estimated from the surface alone, there must be at least one or two hundred, and I don't know how deep the burial is, and how many are below. Even when Wen Yishan talked about the war between immortals and dragons, Zhang Lu failed to find the information from his remnant soul that there were dragon corpses buried underground in the Qingxuan world, which shows that these demon dragons should have died in ancient times, and maybe even before the Qingxuan letter history period. However, after such a long time, the dragon corpse was not completely decayed, although there were many potholes on the skin, I don't know whether it was wounded or decayed, but no white bones were exposed.
Think about the dragon tail that I touched between the mountain walls of Fury's world, and there are no signs of decay - is it that dragons don't rot?
Or are they not dead, but are temporarily suppressed here......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a slight chill in my heart. But if you think about it again, if you are not dead, you will naturally not have anger—that is, a remnant soul. Or is it that the anger is all emanating from under the corpse pile, and the demon dragons at the top are mostly in a suppressed state of suspended animation?
I really can't understand what kind of creature the dragon is, try to touch its skin, it is as hard as iron, and try to probe the mind into its mind, but it can't go deeper. Zhang Lu knew that there was no point in studying any more, and the time to enter the illusion was not short, so it was better to quickly withdraw and go out.
The speed of time flow in the illusion is very different from that of the outside world, but it does not mean that it is completely stagnant, I am afraid that if I stay for too long, the earth and stone outside will be closed, and I will completely bury my **. Of course, if ** encounters danger, the crooked "Lingtai Mirage" will end naturally, and the consciousness can be smoothly separated, but I am afraid that life and death will be lost, and it will be too late to go out at that time......
If an outsider could monitor Zhang Lu**'s movements, when he could see him holding a sword to open the way, straight into the hole in the dragon's throat, and then when he saw the black aura, he seemed to be slightly stunned, and there was a pause of less than a breath. After that, Zhang Lu's eyes widened, his lips closed, as if he was chanting something, and then a red light burst out from his palm, instantly winding around the hilt and body of the sword, and then shooting straight towards the qi with the surging sword qi.
At the moment when the hole in the dragon's throat was about to heal, Zhang Lu suddenly jumped out. Almost at the same time, there seemed to be a red light in the pharynx of the dragon, and then the dragon's head was high, the dragon's body was straight, and there were several "booms", that is, with the throat as the center, bursting one by one. A Taoist priest was originally quite far away from the dragon, but because of his lack of adaptability, he was hit in the chest by a boulder that burst out, and the blood in his mouth spurted wildly, and he fell upside down with a fight......
Qi Yuanzi saw it from a distance, and couldn't help but cry out in his heart: The number of victims has risen to three......
However, those guys who claimed to be the disciples of the real people of the Lost Mountain, although they didn't seem to fly fast, they were quite good at flashing and moving, and they actually safely avoided the earth and rocks flying all over the sky, and gathered around them one after another. Qi Yuanzi hurriedly thanked him: "Thanks to the help of a few more Taoist friends, I was able to defeat this monster." ”
The brothers of the same sect also flew over, but they were stopped by Qi Yuanzi: "Quickly guard the entrance of the cave where the monster jumped out, and use all the things in this mountain town to avoid a resurgence." He was far away, and he couldn't see clearly, and even if he had been following Zhang Lu, he probably couldn't quickly tell: Did those guys really destroy the dragon? Or did they just beat the anger back into the ground?
In fact, even Zhang Lu himself couldn't guarantee the ticket, he withdrew in time, and he failed to see the real fate of the demon dragon's anger. I believe that the "thermonuclear storm" that Fang Cai learned from Zhang Jian and improved by himself can at least deal a heavy blow to the anger, but it is really hard to say whether it can be completely annihilated.
Seeing that Qi Yuanzi was assigning a task, but he was still suspended in the air, it was obvious that he wanted to get rid of irrelevant people and talk to the four of them alone. So Zhang Lu arched his hand: "Conquering demons and eliminating monsters is within my share, why do I need to say thanks?
Qi Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "A few people who claim to be disciples outside the real people of the Lost Mountain, I don't know if they have any credentials?"
Li Yanchao took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it over, but looking at Qi Yuanzi's expression, he clearly didn't recognize it-"The elders come from time to time, so they should be able to recognize it." This time, a few people helped us and others, fighting side by side to destroy this demon, if the elders moved to ask, please report the truth. ”
Zhang Luxin said what he said about "telling the truth", obviously he wanted us to commit perjury. When a few of us were fighting with the dragon, you kept shrinking far behind, and only then did you fight and retreat, which is also called "fighting side by side"? No wonder we first retreated from the crowd, and then wanted to confirm our identity, and finally pretended to talk nonsense, because we were afraid of the enemy and retreated, so that we would be punished by the elders?
He was about to give his companions a look, but he smiled when he heard the wind: "If there is no assistance from the Dao Masters, how can only the four of us fight this giant dragon?
yes, this guy is quite sensitive. Companions are reluctant to encounter big things, and they still know how to be flexible when they encounter small problems.
Qi Yuanzi was overjoyed when he heard this: "I should ask for credit for several Taoist friends in front of the elders." ”
Zhang Luxin said that it was nothing to count him as a credit, but this Qi Yuanzi saw that the situation was just a small person, and it was a bit of a waste to sell him for nothing-so he immediately spoke: "Please also ask the Taoist to help me and other three things." ”
Qi Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this guy also shrank for a long time when he fought the dragon, and finally went on, who would think that he was the most difficult to talk to, and even talked about the conditions - okay, I'll listen to it first, is it acceptable: "What are the three things?"
"I also ask the Taoist elder to speak well for us in front of the elders, so that we can smoothly enter the sect. In addition, we are quite eager to pay homage to the fact that the real people of Xiaoshan are about to cross the catastrophe, and I heard that the traitor wants to summon the demon dragon with the wind, and if the portal is not cleared, we are also willing to contribute to the sect. ”
Qi Yuanzi said that the first one is simple, I will definitely help you say good things - as long as your identity is not forged, this jade pendant is not a fake, as for the second one, once you are included in the sect, you can participate in the ceremony of the ascension of the real person of Xiaoshan, it is impossible to get close, and it is not a problem to look at it from a distance. The third one is more difficult, and I don't know what kind of grudge you have against the wind...... The elders have been sent to clean up the portal and turn into gods to catch the primordial baby, isn't that still hand-to-hand? Why bother a few hands?
Then the conversation changed, and he suddenly asked: "Poor Dao sees that a few Taoist friends are good at martial arts, and they seem to be martial arts cultivators and sword immortals, how could they be accepted as disciples outside the party in the past years?" (To be continued.) )
