Volume 2 Time Remnant Chapter 468 Demon Pattern
The night is getting darker.
The straw laid in the dilapidated tents was evidently not enough to withstand the chill that rose with the darkness of the skyβalthough it was now six, the temperature difference between day and night was enormous, and the days were hot and the nights were extremely cold.
In the small camp, it is obviously impossible to squeeze out more than ten people in Chu Qingxiao's line.
Of course, everyone had no intention of sleeping, and everyone was meditating and concentrating, making final preparations for going to Longjiang City tomorrow.
Chu Qingxiao opened his eyes from his contemplation, now that he has the Ten Realms of cultivation, cultivation can not bring him much benefit, he wants to go further, there are only two possibilities, one is to activate the martial soul, refine it into one, and achieve the unity of body and soul.
But the problem is that his martial soul has long been integrated with the Heaven Survey Book, and it is difficult for him to activate the Sky Survey Book, let alone how to transform it into combat power, so this path naturally does not work.
Then the other remaining method is to go to Longjiang City, complete the transformation of the remaining few people, turn them into extraterritorial evil gods of the Ten Realms, and then unite their forces to achieve the effect of breaking through the realm with force, but this is obviously not something that can be done now.
The only thing Chu Qingxiao can do now is to wait, wait for the sun to rise tomorrow, and wait for the moment to go to Longjiang City.
At that time, he could see Zhao Nianshuang again and settle the grievances of more than ten years.
Thinking of this, he inevitably felt less sleepy, and naturally he had no intention of falling asleep.
He stood up, glanced at the people sitting cross-legged in the room, threw down the curtain of the tent, and walked out.
The night is quiet.
There are a large number of armor soldiers guarding in front of each camp - most of the soldiers stationed here at this moment are forcibly recruited by the imperial court by means of inferiority, and everyone understands what kind of terrible fate they will encounter after staying here and being sent to Longjiang City, so desertion is a common thing.
This also caused the entire army of Longjiang City to spend more energy on preventing a large number of deserters from the army, even more than it spent on dealing with the Northern Wei army.
This is ridiculous, of course, but it is also a real thing......
Chu Qingxiao, a soldier who had just enlisted today, was the most likely potential person to become a deserter, so when he walked out of the tent, he was immediately stopped by several officers and soldiers on patrol.
"Hey! Do! Give me back! The leader walked quickly to Chu Qingxiao with an arrogant attitude, and while saying this, he pushed Chu Qingxiao with his hand.
With Chu Qingxiao's current cultivation, even if he didn't deliberately stimulate any spiritual power to resist, the surging power in his body was by no means something that an ordinary person could shake, he stood still and looked up at the officer.
And such a reaction fell in the eyes of the officer, making Chu Qingxiao undoubtedly a thorn in the eye who wanted to confront his superiors.
"Look for death, right?" The officer asked angrily, and at the same time, his eyes were red, and the purple qi around his body was surging, and if he didn't agree with him, he was about to move the knife against Chu Qingxiao.
Chu Qingxiao knew that as the true body of the ancient god was obtained by Zhao Nianshuang one after another, the infection of the origin of this world was also intensifying, and every living creature in the world could not escape the fate of being affected by it, he looked at the purple qi around the other party, and also looked at the purple qi that was permeating the people behind him, and couldn't help but sigh at that time.
His mood is actually very complicated.
When he first learned the truth from Mr. Luo's mouth twelve years ago, Chu Qingxiao was very angry.
He felt that whether he was good, or everyone in Wuling City, they were actually abandoned chess pieces, Mr. Luo and the big people behind him, as well as those ancestral gods, all understood the fate that Wuling City would suffer, but everyone watched coldly, still by the tragedy.
This made Chu Qingxiao feel that everything that happened in Wuling City twelve years ago became ridiculous.
Whether it's him, Song Guicheng or others, their hard work, their bloody fight, and their recklessness are just dramas that have been arranged a long time ago, so Chu Qingxiao even wanted to give up for a while, unwilling to participate in the fate arranged for him by Mr. Luo.
But at this moment, looking at the soldier with purple qi around him, he suddenly realized what kind of weight Mr. Luo's sentence you have no choice.
He was forced to take this path, but at the same time, he also had to go down this road.
Thinking like this, he stretched out his hand towards the soldiers, wanting to suck the purple qi from their bodies - these purple qi is, in the final analysis, the power of the evil god outside the territory, and now Chu Qingxiao, who is himself an evil god outside the territory, has a natural affinity for these breaths, and can naturally absorb them.
It's just that his actions, in the eyes of the other party, are more like they want to deal with him.
Under the influence of purple qi, the extremely violent man was naturally furious when he saw this, he was about to slash at Chu Qingxiao's face with a knife, but at this juncture, there was a loud shout from behind him: "Someone has fled the camp!" Catch him! β
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them was attracted by the roar, and they all looked sideways, only to see a thin figure fleeing between the tents, but he obviously had no cultivation in his body, and after several runs, he quickly showed fatigue, surrounded by dozens of armor soldiers, and forced into a corner.
And the man standing in front of Chu Qingxiao was obviously the leader of the group of defenders who were in charge of guarding them, he glared at Chu Qingxiao angrily at this time, and said viciously: "Be honest with me!" β
With that, he turned around and walked angrily towards the thin figure that was surrounded.
Chu Qingxiao didn't care about the other party's verbal threats, but looked up at the place, only to see a thin young man squatting in the corner with frightened eyes, his body swaying, like an elk forced into the edge of a cliff by a predator.
His figure was thin, his face was pale, and he was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, so he should have been forcibly conscripted.
"Boss! General Zhou can say that if there is another soldier escape in our camp in the past half month, we will all be slaughtered! This guy wants to kill us, I think it's better to make an example of him, kill him, and let those guys who still have a fluke heart see what will happen to us! At this time, one of the armorers spoke loudly, and his words were full of indignation.
The officer who heard this frowned at first, but the next moment his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the blade of the knife at his waist was unsheathed, revealing a snow-white light, and he paced towards the young man, and the iron shoes were on the ground, making a loud clanging sound, like the death knell that Yama sounded for the young man.
The young man's face became more and more ugly, he trembled, and pleaded with tears: "Don't kill me, please don't kill me!" β
"My mother is sick and still waiting for me to come home, I beg you to let it go!"
"Let you go? Then we will die! Do you think it's possible? The leader of the armor asked in a cold voice at that time, and this was undoubtedly the death sentence of the young man, and the young man's face was like ashes for a while.
Chu Qingxiao saw this scene in his eyes, frowned, and almost didn't think about it, he was about to make a move.
"Shoot now, your identity may be exposed, and the plan to go to Longjiang City tomorrow will also be flawed, and if you can't bear it, you will have a big plan, Qingxiao, you must know the overall situation." And at this moment, in the Shenyuan Sword behind him, a deep voice suddenly sounded.
It was Mr. Lowe's voice.
Chu Qingxiao frowned.
And as if he knew what kind of doubts Chu Qingxiao would have at this moment, Mr. Luo said again before Chu Qingxiao asked: "This is Qin Huan's base camp, if you make a move now, the strength you show will definitely go beyond the scope of an ordinary soldier, and how can such combat power be brought here by the conscription?" β
"If someone with a heart checks it out, no matter how bad it is, even if he is just a little suspicious of you, and postpone the time for you to go to Longjiang City, it is very likely that he will miss the matter of Zhao Nianshuang handing over the two ancient gods and true gods to the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty tomorrow on Longjiang City, because saving one person, and plunging the whole world into a crisis, this is more than worth the loss."
"I know it's a tough choice, but I'm telling you that to do big things, sometimes some necessary sacrifices are inevitable."
Mr. Luo was following the temptation, but Chu Qingxiao, who heard this, suddenly interrupted him and asked, "Just like you did in Wuling City?" β
"For the sake of your so-called righteousness, let everyone in Wuling City die, right?"
Chu Qingxiao's question made Mr. Luo obviously silent for a while, but soon, he still gave his answer: "Yes." β
"But unfortunately I'm not the same kind of person as my husband." Chu Qingxiao said.
As soon as these words came out, he ignored Mr. Luo's obviously anxious yelling, and walked forward.
At the same time, one of his hands stretched out, and billowing purple qi poured out from his palm, turning into thin purple lines and rushing towards the armor soldiers surrounding the young man.
Just in the blink of an eye, the bodies of those armorers were entangled by those purple gases, and their bodies stiffened in place, and at the same time, a purple light flashed in Chu Qingxiao's eyes, and at this moment, those armorers stood in place as if they had lost their souls.
Such a change came very suddenly, the young man who was surrounded did not expect this, he was stunned in place, looking at the armor who had just been about to fight him, suddenly froze in place, and the expression on his face was extremely stunned for a while, and at the same time he was extremely dazed, and he did not understand what was going on.
"What's your name?" And at this moment, a voice suddenly came, and the young man raised his head, only to see a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old walking towards him.
He couldn't help but be stunned again, but the young man who was not stupid quickly reacted, it seemed that he was able to survive because of the action of the person in front of him, although his heart was terrified, but he still mustered up the courage to respond at that time: "Xue Yang...... My name, my name is Xue Yang. β
"Well, I remember." Chu Qingxiao nodded, which was considered an agreement, and then looked at the other party and asked, "Where is your home?" β
Xue Yang hurriedly said: "I am a person from Zhihu City in Liuzhou, we have suffered from drought there, many people have starved to death, some of them have the ability to move their families, my mother is sick, Daddy was dragged to join the army, there is no news......"
"I can only take care of my mother while inquiring about Daddy's news, but there is a shortage of food, life is getting more and more difficult day by day, and my mother's condition is getting worse, I was anxious, so I went to the city, and happened to meet a group of people, they said that they have a way to make a living, let me follow them, can give me four white flour steamed buns a day, I follow them......"
probably realized that Chu Qingxiao would be his only life-saving straw, and the young man named Xue Yang didn't care about anything else at that time, and immediately told everything he had experienced along the way, but before he finished speaking, Chu Qingxiao's voice sounded again.
"Let's go home."
Chu Qingxiao's voice was calm, and he said so.
Xue Yang, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Chu Qingxiao in disbelief.
Since he realized that he had been deceived, he had been trying his best to escape, but such an operation ended in failure every time, and then in exchange for a severe beating, escaping from this demon cave and returning to his mother was something Xue Yang had always dreamed of, but when this moment really came, Xue Yang couldn't help but feel that all this was like a dream, and there was such a sense of unreality.
"Not leaving?" Chu Qingxiao's voice sounded again, and Xue Yang was excited, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
He showed ecstasy, bowed to Chu Qingxiao at that time, and said in his mouth: "Thank you, thank you, Xue Yang, Xue Yang, I hope that Engong will know my name, if he has the opportunity, I am willing to erect a monument for the statue of Engong, and worship it day and night!" β
"My name is Chu Qingxiao." Chu Qingxiao didn't hide it, he said this, and said, "Let's go." β
Xue Yang no longer hesitated, got up at this time, and glanced at Chu Qingxiao deeply, as if he wanted to engrave the other party's appearance into his mind, and then turned around and left quickly.
And as he left, a stream of purple qi gushed out from Xue Yang's body, pouring into Chu Qingxiao's body.
But the matter did not end because of Xue Yang's departure, more figures poured out of the surrounding tents, they surrounded Chu Qingxiao, knelt down towards Chu Qingxiao one after another, and said in a sad voice: "Please be gracious, let me go!" β
Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a scene, but he quickly figured out the reason, most of the soldiers in these barracks were forcibly recruited, if there was a chance to live, no one wanted to send them to death, when Xue Yang escaped before, they all hid in the camp tent and secretly observed, but after witnessing Xue Yang escape with the help of Chu Qingxiao, they could no longer contain the desire to live in their hearts, and came to Chu Qingxiao at this time, begging for Chu Qingxiao's help.
Chu Qingxiao looked at the faces around him that were full of longing, and fell silent for a while.
"That's the price." Mr. Luo's voice came from the Shenyuan Sword behind Chu Qingxiao at this moment.
"Kindness is a good thing, but if you let them all go, and tens of thousands of people in the barracks disappear overnight, do you think Qin Huan and Zhao Nianshuang will not be suspicious?"
"Just like in Wuling City, if we also save you, the ancestral god will also be suspicious, and our plan will not go smoothly."
"It's a good choice to make if you live or if you live for all, but only if you need some awareness and determination."
"I know you've always been haunted by everything in Wuling City, but just like the choices you're facing, I hope you understand......"
Mr. Luo's voice was calm, with a bit of a kind and seductive taste, just like when he explained the truth in the book to Chu Qingxiao when he was in the Peach Blossom Study.
And Chu Qingxiao, who heard this, also fell silent, as if thinking about the right and wrong of Mr. Luo's words.
"But that's sir's, not mine." After a few breaths, Chu Qingxiao's voice sounded again.
"Huh?" Mr. Luo was stunned, in his heart, Chu Qingxiao has always been ten smart people, and he has said everything about this, with Chu Qingxiao's brain, he should be able to understand the pros and cons.
But before Mr. Luo could ask again, one of Chu Qingxiao's hands suddenly stretched out and spread his five fingers towards the sky.
At that moment, billowing purple qi poured out of his palm, turning into thin purple lines and rushing around the barracks, and at that moment, all the postures of the guards in the entire Chuang Long Town were entangled in purple qi and lost consciousness.
Then Chu Qingxiao looked at the people kneeling around him and said, "Go!" Go home! β
Those soldiers were stunned when they heard this, but the next moment they came back to their senses, they all showed ecstasy, and after a period of thanksgiving to Chu Qingxiao, they got up and fled quickly in the direction outside the barracks.
And with their departure, like Xue Yang, the purple qi in everyone's body also gushed out at this time and entered Chu Qingxiao's body.
Chu Qingxiao...... You are crazy!? In the Shenyuan Sword, Mr. Luo's roar came.
His voice was no longer as calm as it had been, but rather hysterical.
"With so many people fleeing, you must not be able to hide it, are you going to let our decades-long plan go anon? Do you want the whole world to be buried for your ridiculous pity? β
"Mr. is always full of righteousness, saying that he wants to save the world and save the common people, but has Mr. ever thought about it, whether it is for the people in Wuling City, for the people who have fled in front of him, if they die, what difference does it make whether the world is destroyed or saved?"
"You think you're right because you think you're saving the world, but for those who die under your calculations, their world is no different from destruction with the people they care about and when they die."
"In a way, what is the difference between you and the ancestral gods? It's nothing more than one for the so-called righteousness, and the other for the so-called self-interest, but whether it is you or them, they all regard us mortals as bargaining chips that can be used to measure the price. β
"But sir, since you have chosen me as the final executor of this plan, then from now on, the rules must be up to me."
Chu Qingxiao's voice was calm and said lightly.
At this moment, the identities of the two seem to have reversed......
Mr. Luo became the chess piece that could only be coerced, but Chu Qingxiao became the chess player.
Mr. Lowe fell silent.
After a long time, he sighed and asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" Break into Longjiang City tomorrow? β
Chu Qingxiao shook his head, at that time, the purple qi around him became more and more turbulent, under this turbulent purple qi, the space around him began to distort, and ghosts appeared in the distorted space.
His eyes glowed with purple as he spoke.
"Want to taste the ancestral gods?"
"That is the most delicious flesh in the world, if you wish, then engrave my magic pattern, and I will summon you to this world!"
His voice carried supreme majesty, from this world through the distorted space behind him, to the outer lands.
So the countless monsters in the outer land opened their eyes, they felt the breath of this world, and they also felt the broken space fragments, so a series of magic patterns appeared in the center of their eyebrows.
Their surging bodies, under the oppression of Chu Qingxiao's huge power, turned into human shapes, and came to Chu Qingxiao's side through the spatial rift torn by Chu Qingxiao......
And Mr. Luo, who was located in the Shenyuan Sword, looked at those extraterritorial things that were angered by Chu Qingxiao, and the expression on his face was stunned.
He didn't understand how Chu Qingxiao suddenly had the ability to tear through space......
That's the power that can only be possessed by the power of the ancestral god level or the ancient god level.
