Chapter 36: The Plague Array
Heaven and earth changed, Qiao Kun was transferred out of the Wa Palace, only to see the murderous aura around him, the sad wind was everywhere, the murderous aura was in the air, and the ghosts were crying and howling, but he didn't know where he was.
There were also bursts of poisonous gas around him, covering the sky and the sun, like substance, like a haze.
If it weren't for the fact that Nuwa Niangniang and Lingyun Fairy were good to him these days, Qiao Kun would have thought that Nuwa Niangniang was going to deliberately harm him.
Where is this? Qiao Kun couldn't help but wonder, while sensing the plague into his body and turning into the "Great Freedom Ground", he looked at the surrounding environment.
Some time ago, he was hit by the sword qi of Zhuxian, and Xili Lake Tu had a dream, in which he inexplicably became a gourd baby, and after waking up, the various abilities he mastered had been upgraded and deepened.
The two magical powers of "clairvoyance and ears to the wind" are the transformation of his children's skills and "wind sound".
Magical powers, compared to ordinary spells, it is more convenient to urge, and it is also useful.
Therefore, although there is thunder and lightning, flying sand and stones, and fog and clouds, he can also see some traces when he urges the "clairvoyance and ears of the wind".
First of all, the space is very wide, hundreds of miles in length and width, and the plague road marks are very thick, so thick that it is unimaginable.
If this plague breaks out completely, it can not only slaughter a city, but also destroy a country.
There are twenty-one plague umbrellas here, arranged according to the direction of the nine palace gossip, which is a plague array. Under the umbrella cover of the plague all around, it is dim and black, like a red sand and black fog cover will come down, and it is overwhelming.
Pestilence umbrella? Qiao Kun reacted, could it be that this is a plague formation?
After participating in the Dragon God Sacrifice in the East China Sea, Qiao Kun once met Chen Geng, the younger brother of Lu Yue, and also fell into his plot.
However, he also had some other means, although he was poisoned, he still captured Chen Geng and suppressed it in the "Easy Map Change".
Chen Geng had a lot of plague umbrellas on his body, and he didn't understand what it was doing at the time, but now it suddenly turned out that the umbrella was to arrange the plague array.
In other words, he has now run into the plague array.
Qiao Kun didn't think that the Spirit Yun Fairy was unintentional, maybe he deliberately let him come here to break the plague array.
It's just that Qiao Kun really doesn't want to be an enemy of Lu Yue. After all, a plague golden immortal can't be prevented.
Moreover, Lu Yue's cultivation is profound, and Qiao Kun's strength is only two or three out of ten now, even if the "Great Freedom of the Earth" is subtle and can absorb the plague, it may not be able to break the formation, it is still important to find a flaw and avoid the edge for the time being.
Qiao Kun did not act rashly, only urged the "clairvoyance" magic power to find the flaws in the big array, and soon he found an acquaintance, Jiang Ziya.
At this time, Jiang Ziya was sitting on the gossip platform in the large array with an apricot yellow flag, and there were obviously many poisons, poisonous gases, and poisonous miasma around him. Jiang Ziya's eyes were closed, and there were words in his mouth.
There are golden lotuses around him to protect his figure, but looking at his expression, I'm afraid he won't last long.
How could Jiang Ziya break the formation? Qiao Kun still had many concerns at this time, but seeing that Jiang Ziya was in a difficult situation, he still urged Dunguang to rush over.
There was no obstruction along the way, and Lu Yue did not make a move. Soon Qiao Kun came to Jiang Ziya's approach.
At this time, Jiang Ziya's breath was weak, and his breath was like a gossamer, holding the "apricot yellow flag" in his hand, emitting a dark yellow light curtain.
It's just that this light curtain can't completely shield the poisonous gas, and there is still a trace of poisonous gas that invades Jiang Ziya's body through the light curtain.
There is also a small stream several inches wide and more than ten zhang long flowing slowly beside Jiang Ziya, constantly dispelling all kinds of evil qi.
This stream has the breath of the Yellow River, which is a means of protection given to Jiang Ziya by the "Taiji Jinque Emperor" at that time, and has always helped Jiang Ziya a lot.
It's just that this Yellow River also has a lot of consumption, and now it is only a few inches wide, and its power has been greatly reduced.
Although there is the "Apricot Yellow Flag" and the Yellow River to help, it is not easy for Jiang Ziya to hold on for so long. Now he described it as withered, obviously running out of oil and lamp, and if it was another three or five days, it was very likely to die.
Even with the protection of the Yellow River, Jiang Ziya was still poisoned. After all, the opponent is Lu Yue, and it is normal for Jin Xian, who plays with pestilence, to have any strange means.
Jiang Ziya is just a fake immortal, only a half-immortal body, not a true immortal body. Resistance is lower against pestilence.
Qiao Kun quickly made a decision, let's save people first, see what kind of poison Uncle Jiang has in, and then reason.
The light curtain of the apricot yellow flag and the stream with the breath of the Yellow River seemed to sense Qiao Kun's breath, and did not stop it, Qiao Kun had already held Jiang Ziya and conveyed the mana of the "Shennong Materia Medica", and asked: "Marshal, how are you?" ”
At this time, Jiang Ziya was not in a coma, but he was just weak, and after receiving the mana of the "Shennong Materia Medica", he opened his eyes and saw that it was Qiao Kun, and he was relieved, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Where does this look like it's okay? Qiao Kun couldn't help but be speechless, "I'll take you out of here." ”
Jiang Ziya shook his head and replied in a hoarse voice: "No." I should have been here for a hundred days, and I should not leave early. ”
I can't save my life, and what do you say? Qiao Kun didn't understand Jiang Ziya's approach.
Although he didn't understand, he was willing to respect Jiang Ziya's choice. He could choose to use brute force to take Jiang Ziya away, but he still didn't do so. It's just that the mana of the "Shennong's Materia Medica" is urged to comb Jiang Ziya's teeth and suppress the toxicity.
At the same time, he opened the mixed yuan umbrella, absorbed the nearby plague and poisonous miasma, and took out some clean food and water from the "Qiankun Talisman in his sleeve" and handed it to Jiang Ziya, "In this case, marshal, you eat something first." It's up to me to invoke a spell to remove these poisons. ”
After all, Jiang Ziya is a fake immortal, and if he doesn't eat or drink for a long time, he will also hurt the origin and put his life in danger.
This time, Jiang Ziya did not refuse, took over the diet, and ate and drank a small amount. It's just that he ate very restrainedly, and only ate a little less and then stopped.
And Qiao Kun urged the "Shennong Materia Medica" around Jiang Ziya to dissolve the poisonous gas.
Everything went well, Qiao Kun couldn't help but wonder, these were just ordinary poisons, did Lu Yue at the Golden Immortal level only have this kind of strength? If not, what is his idea?
Jiang Ziya suddenly spoke, "This is the Plague Formation. ”
"Plague Formation?" Qiao Kun said in his heart, if it is this array, "Does the marshal know the mystery of this array?" ”
"A few months ago, before our army arrived at the Cloud Pass, Lu Yue came to help the enemy army and fought with our army for some time." Jiang Ziya has taken in some water and has recovered a lot, but he is still a little tired after talking too much in one breath, "Later, he arranged this evil formation in front of the Cloud Piercing Pass." Teacher Randen said that I had a hundred days of misfortune, so he asked me to break the formation. ”
Lamplighter? Qiao Kun pondered, the misfortune of a hundred days was about to break the formation, and the action of the Burning Lamp Daoist was too child's play, did he still want to snatch Jiang Ziya's luck? "Didn't the teacher give the marshal any talismans?"
Jiang Ziya shook his head, "No." ”
Strange, is it wrong to blame the lantern Daoist this time? "How long has the marshal been in the formation?"
"It's ninety-seven days."
Wa Palace is not stained with calamity, and there are prohibitions and restrictions, in Wa Palace, Qiao Kun can't urge the Qimen technique to calculate, and he really doesn't know that more than three months have passed.
"How's the summer flower?" Qiao Kun blurted out.
Three months is not a long time, and a year of normal cultivation will pass quickly. It's just that now that the gods are in the war, the changes are rapid, and the golden immortals may be cannon fodder, and three months is not short.
What's more, the curse of "Amazing Immortal" in Xia Hua's body, in three months, there may be some changes.
Thinking of this, Qiao Kun felt stunned, he promised Xia Hua that he would not be separated from her for a long time, and in the blink of an eye, another hundred days had passed.
"Lou Yunqu is fine." Jiang Ziya spoke, but it was not Xia Hua's name.
Lou Yunqu is another identity of Xia Hua. Qiao Kun knew that Xia Hua was fine. At the moment, he urged the mana to absorb the plague poison in Jiang Ziya's body with the ability of "Great Freedom" to be virtuous and inclusive.
After all, he is a "great son of freedom" and is not afraid of ordinary poisons.
After a while, there were new changes in the poison in Jiang Ziya's body, as if it was mixed with many different things, and it was a little more slippery. With this little more slippery, the nature of the poison as a whole has changed drastically.
Now that Qiao Kun has some insight into the method of creation, he can naturally sense that it was Lu Yue who modified it on the basis of the original poison. The fragments of the poison were reassembled, several more groups were added, and a few more arms were added to the original result.
The structure of the poison is the same as the original, but the properties are more varied, more viscous, and more difficult to absorb.
Although the toxicity has not become more intense, it has become more difficult.
It's amazing, it can make such a big change just by changing the nature of it. Qiao Kun secretly exclaimed, at this moment, he couldn't help but have respect for Lu Yue, but he was afraid that Lu Yue also had extraordinary attainments in the creation method.
However, Qiao Kun is also somewhat familiar with the nature and structure of these poisons.
If there were several other changes in this poison, wouldn't it be the plague released by Lu Yue in Xiqi? Thinking so, sure enough, the poison evolved in that direction.
This kind of plague, Qiao Kun has analyzed before, he is naturally familiar with it, and he can naturally keep up with the changes in it, and he will not fall behind. Then there is the poison of the plague bell, which changes in nature.
After a while, poisons of different natures came over, and through this process of constantly refining poisons and sensing poisons, Qiao Kun realized the profundity of this poison, and realized that what he had mastered was only scratching the surface.
If these methods are used in the medical path, I am afraid that the cultivation of the medical path will also rise sharply. Qiao Kun couldn't help but think, it turns out that medicine and poison are integrated, and the poison path is also a great avenue.
Although he had this kind of understanding before, his attainments in the medical path were still shallow, and his comprehension in the poisonous path was even worse, so it was still difficult to see clearly. At this moment, his method of creation was slightly successful, and there was even this opportunity, and he was shown a variety of poisons, and finally the realm of poison and medicine was leaping forward.
Gradually, the poisons became more and more complex, and there were already hundreds, thousands, and thousands of poisons, and the speed of change was getting faster and faster.
Even if Qiao Kun's attainment of the plague improves, it is not as fast as the evolution speed of Lu Yue's plague poison, and in the successive changes in the poison path, the sensing and comprehension of the poison is so inadequate.
If Qiao Kun is in good condition, he will definitely use the "Yi Tu Tong Change", "Illusion Realm", and the "Cave God Heavenly Emperor Yuan Transformation Sutra" The 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Gods in the Heavenly Palace will help, even if he is slightly inferior, he will not fall behind.
But now many of his methods have been banned by "heart-piercing locks", and many methods cannot be used. Only use the method of creation to narrow the gap between him and Lu Yue.
During this time, the battlefield where Qiao Kun and Lu Yue fought was Jiang Ziya's body.
However, Qiao Kun was more restrained, so he did not cause damage to Jiang Ziya's body.
After a period of time, Qiao Kun had already figured out the nature of the change of the poison, and without hesitation, he urged the "Great Freedom Place" to absorb the poison and poisonous gas in Jiang Ziya's body.
Although Jiang Ziya has not fully recovered, he has eased up, although he is still weak, but he is no longer the original candle in the wind. ,
After he breathed a sigh of relief, he sat on the gossip platform and urged the apricot yellow flag.
At this time, Qiao Kun suddenly had a burst of heart season, his whole body was like a pinprick pain, he fell to the ground, his body stiffened, his limbs twitched, and the poison around him continued to enter his body like a whirlwind.
"Senior nephew, are you okay?" Jiang Ziya next to him hurriedly asked.
"Don't come here, don't touch me!" Qiao Kun hurriedly stopped. Hearing that Jiang Ziya made a mistake in his busy work, calling him a nephew was a little heartwarming, but now he can't let Jiang Ziya touch him.
As soon as he finished speaking, large blisters began to appear on his body, glowing with a colorful luster, like a colorful mushroom. If Jiang Ziya touched him just now, he would have been poisoned.
Jiang Ziya was in a hurry, but he couldn't do anything.
At this time, a figure descended from the sky, dressed in a Taoist robe with a green face and fangs, it was Lu Yue. Lu Yue looked at Qiao Kun and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of physique you are, you are so different, and it is thanks to you that you have such a physique, so that I can test a variety of poisons." ”
Jiang Ziya, who was next to him, had been resting, but at this time he was busy urging the apricot yellow flag to protect both of them. A yellow curtain of light rose, but it isolated the two from Lu Yue and the poison.
At this time, although Qiao Kun was colorful and scary to look at, he was actually still conscious, and when he heard Lu Yue's words at this time, he knew that in fact, when he urged the cultivation of the "Great Freedom Dizi" just now, Lu Yue had been watching, and even adding fuel to the fire, experimenting with new poisons.
He didn't expect that he couldn't hold on to such an eclectic "big and comfortable place", so he asked, "Did you deliberately let me over?" Deliberately let me absorb these poisons from Marshal Jiang? ”
Lu Yue didn't seem to care about the light curtain in front of him, and patiently explained to Qiao Kun, "It may not be you, I just want to compete with the sect people." There are too few people in the world who communicate with me about poison, but I don't want you to be tricked. ”
"Your physique is special, I like it very much, and it is rare to use it to test toxicity."
Qiao Kun already understood that in the past 90 days, Lu Yue has continued to infect Jiang Ziya with plague, hoping that someone can rescue Jiang Ziya, and then use means to compete with that person in the air.
Not only that, but Lu Yue also used him as a guinea pig for testing drugs? Qiao Kun can still tolerate the poison on his body, and at this time weakly explained: "The kid actually uses other means to dissolve the plague, but in fact, he can't use medical poison, so he can't meet the expectations of the immortals." ”
Lu Yue smiled: "I know. What I liked was that the wind was not to blame. ”
Is there any blame for the wind? Qiao Kun didn't say anything at the moment. Does Lu Yue know that Feng Wuyi and Qiao Kun are one?
Lu Yue continued: "Feng Wuyi has a special physique, which can accommodate my plague poison, and he also practices Emperor Yan's "Shennong's Materia Medica", he has some talent, if he can be my disciple, learn my poison way, and heal the poison together, the future is limitless." ”
Are you so optimistic about the wind and blameless? Qiao Kun couldn't help but be surprised, but he heard Jiang Ziya say: "Feng Wuyi is from Queen Xi, and he has the inheritance of Emperor Yan and masters the Great Dao, how can he learn from your harmful way?" ”
"Grape? Sure enough, you philistines can't understand it. Lu Yue didn't care about Jiang Ziya's words, "My 'Plague Array' evolved ten thousand poisonous changes, and it was originally prepared for Feng Wuyi. But you have a special physique, and it's not bad to fight with it. ”
Well? Lu Yue set up the plague array for the sake of the wind? Could it be that Lu Yue couldn't see Feng Wujiao, so he wanted to use this method to attract Feng Wujiao?
Qiao Kun couldn't help but smile bitterly, the "Plague Array" prepared for Feng Wuyi finally enjoyed it by himself, and the cause and effect in this world were indeed mysterious.
He thought of the changes of this ten thousand poisons, which are indeed from shallow to deep, more like teaching, and the beauty of them is not inferior to the way of creation, so he said: "This poison changes in all directions, and it is profound and subtle, and it seems that there is a faint wonder of creation. ”
"You're a discerning person." Lu Yue couldn't help but admire, "Your physique is really special, and the poisonous path is too withered." It's just a pity that my disciple's talent is limited, and he can't cultivate my Dao art in the end, so he died in Xiqi. ”
Lu Yue also took a few disciples to Xiqi, but he died in Xiqi, and Qiao Kun also participated in the incarnation of Feng Wuyi at that time. "Listening to what the immortal chief said, he should be interested in the Great Dao, so why bother wading into this troubled water?"
Lu Yue smiled: "I know you want to delay the time to refine the poison, but this poison is specially refined for you, and you can't get rid of it." ”
Specifically for me? Qiao Kun smiled: "In such a short period of time, have you delved into the poison against me?" ”
"That's nature." Lu Yue was very proud, "Your skill is eclectic, just like a lake can hold water, but water can also change the lake." Nature is able to cope. ”
Qiao Kun understood that this is the effect and reaction. Even heaven and earth will be changed by the influence of monks, let alone him?
After absorbing the plague that Lu Yue had prepared a long time ago, the "Great Freedom Place" also had corresponding changes, which was really normal.
"So it was the Immortal Elder who concocted a special poison for me, right?" Qiao Kun couldn't help but admire, he figured out the law in just a few days, and then concocted it into a poison to restrain the "Great Freedom Ground", Lu Yue was really powerful.
