Chapter 46: Cross-examination
Xiao Lingjiang shook his head and explained: "This thing does a lot of evil, I see that it has a strong aura, and it carries a lot of lives on its body, so it must have harmed many travelers to help its own cultivation. Such evil things can be said to be not a pity to die. β
"It's justβ" she paused slightly, looking at the Gobi Desert at her feet, "You can see it too, but it's a few miles away, and the water and grass are abundant next to it, but there is no grass growing here." I thought, I'm afraid that when I was cultivating this thing, I would have nothing to do with the vitality and aura around me. β
"Since this thing has robbed other things of their vitality in vain, it should now be told that it has dispersed its spiritual breath before it dies and returned it to other things."
As she spoke, she motioned for Pei You to take two steps back, then closed her eyes and sealed her hands with her hands.
The mantra was different from the ordinary Taoist mantras, as if it was an ancient and long chant, slowly spreading in the cool night.
In the night, a wind rises from afar, blowing the blades of grass in early spring.
As the leaves swayed, small grass seeds tumbled off them, drifting in the direction of the wind and all the way to the wasteland around the lake.
Countless tiny grass seeds, like dust in the sun, floated in the air like this, and then slowly scattered on the wasteland as Xiao Lingjiang sang.
Xiao Lingjiang stopped chanting, pinched the trick with his right hand, and sketched a complicated rune, and with a slight push, the rune was imprinted on the monster on the ground.
Immediately after, she summoned the Ice Spirit Blue Lotus, and her palm was slightly raised, and the Blue Lotus stretched its petals and slowly rose into the air.
She clasped her hands together, her ten fingers flying over the seal, and then she was a little farther away at Qinglian.
The blue lotus light in the air shone slightly, and the stretched petals swayed slightly in the wind, and the monster on the ground slowly floated.
Xiao Lingjiang's feet moved slightly, and began to take mysterious steps, as her posture changed, the green lotus hanging in the air also stretched its petals and swirled slightly, and countless light blue points of light floated from the monster between the sleeves.
Unconsciously, the thin dots of light gradually converged into a flowing band of light, surrounding her.
Xiao Lingjiang's eyes shrank slightly, his feet swirled sharply, and then he turned around and brushed his sleeves, and the flowing points of light circled around her and rose until the sky.
She stopped, recited the seal again, and with a command, a light suddenly flashed in the sky. Immediately afterward, there was a rumbling spring thunder.
When the people in the camp looked up, they saw countless raindrops falling from the sky. The cool raindrops hit the face, making people involuntarily squint.
The spring rain came very quickly, and the raindrops of the brush fell, and soon soaked the ground. The wasteland, which has not grown an inch of grass for nearly a hundred years, seems to have been washed away and sunk and dead, revealing a rare spiritual breath.
The grass seeds that fell on the wasteland were soaked by this rain, as if they were being spawned with endless upward force.
"Bang-"
This silent thunder is a new life sprouting out of the shell.
After doing all this, Xiao Lingjiang stretched out his hand to retrieve Qinglian, and the monster that had taken the opportunity to take the lives of countless living beings fell back to the ground, no longer alive.
Xiao Lingjiang brushed her skirt, looked back at Pei You, who had been guarding her, and smiled lightly: "Go back." β
"Okay." Pei You answered lightly, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Seeing Xiao Lingjiang and the others return safely, Gongji knew that his plan had failed again.
He couldn't help but secretly hate in his heart, Xiao Ling Jiang Ke could be killed, but it was not good for them to do it openly. Therefore, when he set out on his journey, he ordered someone to inquire about this place early.
It is said that there is a lake here known as the "ghost lake", and there is a strange person living in the lake, especially who loves to eat people's brains. The travelers and herdsmen are all deeply affected.
This monster is unknown to the world, only that it has come and gone, and those who are targeted by it often lose their lives in their sleep. It even has the ability to generate wind and resist water.
Such a tricky thing is naturally suitable for dealing with Xiao Lingjiang.
Therefore, he secretly changed his route slightly, and deviated slightly from the Nacuo Lake, and walked around the ghost lake.
In order to make this monster target Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You, he even found a spice that is particularly sensitive and preferred by the legend, and took the opportunity to make butter tea for Xiao Lingjiang and the others, and added it as a seasoning.
In the land of Xifan, this spice can be eaten, and there is nothing wrong with adding it to butter tea, Xiao Lingjiang naturally does not notice anything unusual. It's just that its smell is secret and long-lasting, and it is wet when eaten, but it is difficult for those who smell it to perceive its taste.
He still looked for the Tuozhi technique, and then he covered up the aura on his body.
The monster really did as he wished, and found Xiao Lingjiang and the others. It's just that in the end, everything fell to a halt.
Even the men he sent did not secretly find an opportunity to get rid of them, but gave their lives in vain.
Xiao Lingjiang looked at the fake smile on Gongji's face, gently hooked his lips, and pointed to the few corpses dragged by the order: "I just got rid of the monster, but I didn't expect that there were a few people hiding nearby, wanting to secretly attack me and the son." Unexpectedly, in the end, he was involved by the formation and lost his life. I don't know how many people you know? β
Gongji's temples jumped suddenly, what she said was good, but unfortunately she was affected by the formation. He was far away, but he also knew that these people must have been eliminated by her.
However, these are difficult to argue with her in detail.
Gongji shook his head in surprise: "I don't know about this...... Could it be that the remnants of the Divine Palace are still alive, and they want to secretly hurt the princess for revenge? β
Anyway, these people under him have not appeared in front of people, even Xiao Lingjiang knows it, and she can't say that these people are sent by him.
"Oh?" Xiao Lingjiang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "That Divine Palace has been removed, even if there are remnants of sins, it is not a great character." β
"The Divine Palace is far away in Shazhou, and many of its forces are also rooted in the Great Zhou. It was just an assassination in Liangzhou, and the palace originally thought that when he arrived in the land of Xifan, there would be a great minister and Master Tuozhi to protect him, and he should be worry-free from now on. β
"I didn't expect it......," she sighed and said, "I didn't expect that when I arrived in the land of Xifan, there were still people who wanted to secretly attack the palace." β
After that, she turned her eyes and fell on several corpses on the ground: "It's just that these people have red faces, high nose bones, and wide nostrils, which are clearly the appearance of living in a cold land for a long time." β
There is still a clear difference between the appearance of the Western Tibetan people and the Great Zhou people, the Western Tibetan people are located in the high cold, due to the lack of oxygen and cold, the nasal bones of the Western Tibetan people are higher, and the nostrils are wider. In addition, in the highland area, the light is stronger, and their skin tone is mostly sauce-red.
"Great Minister...... she raised her eyes and looked straight at Gongji, and her voice suddenly sharpened, "Look, is this the sudden appearance of foreigners in the Divine Palace in the Central Plains, or is it that you Xifan are not very welcoming to the main palace that comes to make peace with relatives?" β
