Chapter 218: Heartbreak Killing
Just when Jiang Ru's mind was flustered, Zhao Xiao came in the air and waved his hand:
"Okay, it is a natural thing to blossom and bear fruit, it is not a big deal, there is no need to worry, you just disperse."
When the otters heard this, they fled as if they had been pardoned, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
On the other hand, Jiang Ru's face was red and hot, and she didn't dare to look at Zhao Xiao at all.
"A little cleverness can make you like this?" Zhao Xiao glanced at Jiang Ru: "This group of otter demons has just learned about the personnel, and it is inevitable that they will not choose what to say, why should you take it to heart?" ”
"I didn't take it to heart." Jiang Ru hurriedly calmed down, brushed her hair, and then handed the white jade fruit to Zhao Huang: "This is discovered by the otter demons, do you know it?" ”
Zhao Xiao took the white jade fruit and began to concentrate on recalling the contents of the Xuanpu jade book, and said after a while: "This is the essence of earth milk. ”
"Ground milk?" Jiang Ru was puzzled: "But shouldn't the ground milk be produced underground?" There is also a deep cave in the Chongxuan Pavilion, where the ground milk oozes from the chalcedony hanging down, and it has to be undertaken with a jade plate, with a maximum of three or four drops per day. I was fortunate enough to be given a light of earth milk by the first seat, which is of great benefit to my cultivation. ”
"Earth milk can best nourish the vitality of the furnace, replenish the true qi mana, and after taking it, the spiritual effect can be exerted freely, and there is no need to bother refining." Zhao Yan said: "In addition, the natural neutralization of the ground milk can also be used to combine medicines, and it will not be mixed with medicinal power." ”
"Of course I know that." Jiang Ru casually found a fallen tree trunk and sat down: "There are many secret scriptures in the Chongxuan Pavilion, I don't dare to say that I have searched through them all, at least I know a rough idea." I just don't understand, how can the essence of the earth milk be a fruit? I can still sense the vitality within me that has not yet dissipated. ”
Zhao Xiao said slowly: "The spiritual roots are deeply rooted, the qi is connected to the earth's veins, and the pure qi is refined and condensed by the prolongation of the grass and trees, so the earth milk bears fruit." ”
"Can it still be like this?" Jiang Ru's eyes blinked in surprise.
Zhao Xiao said: "This is the cultivation and application of the "Sumai Dan Heart Formula" passed down by Xuanpu Hall, and the inner is the spiritual root deeply rooted in the internal organs, the Xuanzhu on it, and the true qi is exhaled outside, and the sesame grass is cultivated, so as to comb the earth's veins and give birth to Qiongdan. Isn't your Jiang family Tianhu from Xuanpu Cave Heaven? It is said that there is also a bit of fate with Xuanputang, why don't you even know this? ”
"Our Jiang family's relationship with Xuanpu Dongtian has long been broken, of course I don't understand this." After Jiang Ru said this, she immediately noticed something strange: "Wait, where did you know this?" ”
Zhao Xiao was stunned, he couldn't say that his mother was a disciple of Xuanpu Hall, and he also got the Xuanpu Jade Book, right? If you study it carefully, today's Zhao Xiao may really be able to continue the inheritance of Xuanpu Hall.
"I've been refining qi and storing my spirit in the Lingtai Ruins for the past few days, and I have vaguely understood." Zhao Huang explained expressionlessly: "I found that the mountain protection array laid by the predecessors of Xuanpu Hall in this blessed land has not completely collapsed due to the demon attacking the mountain back then.
The mountain protection formation itself is like a big tree, and it also has its rise and fall. Although it withered temporarily due to external force, it can still nourish and repair itself. When I used my divine energy to fit into the formation, I could sense the sprout of vitality between heaven and earth, and many things were self-evident. ”
Jiang Ru smiled with her eyebrows, and Zhao Xiao didn't know why: "What?" Am I not right? ”
"I've been with you for a long time, and I'm familiar with your words and deeds." Jiang Ru smiled and said, "Whenever you lie, there is just no expression on your face. And you just have to talk a lot about it, and you can't wait to recite the fairy scripture from beginning to end to change the topic. ”
Zhao Xiao's face was stunned, his habit had never been noticed in the past, but today it was broken by Jiang Ru.
"Alright, I'm ready to open the altar." Zhao Xiao waved his hand: "Later, the qi in the Lingtai Ruins will be stirred, you will leave first." ”
"Yes, yes, follow the decree of Hou Yejun!" Jiang Ru quipped.
Zhao Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, he has no worldly love for men and women for Jiang Ru, but more of a friend and a friend of the same way.
"But Jiang Ru does have a love for men and women for you." Lingxiao suddenly spoke.
"I know." Zhao Xiao let his footsteps go, and his figure shuttled between strange flowers and plants: "But I hope she can explore such flashy thoughts." The only thing that is truly worthy of admiration is the quiet road. ”
Lingxiao said, "You don't have to force everyone to be able to penetrate it. ”
"Of course I didn't force it, but I just made a little bit of it." Zhao Xiao said: "I kind of understand why the immortal family has a little bit of the world's wishes. Educating others and enlightening people is a wonderful joy. This is not a worldly kindness, but as a person who receives extradition and sails, opening the avenue to the world, which in itself is an act of intimacy with the avenue. ”
"Being a good teacher is also a disease." Ling Xiao reminded: "The avenue is everywhere and everywhere, and it doesn't matter whether it is open to the world or not, enlightenment and cultivation, not everyone can cultivate immortals and enlighten the Tao." Those who are willing to sink are eternal, and there is no need to think about them. ”
Zhao Xiao sighed: "Where did I get this ability? The people in front of you have not yet been enlightened, let alone the beings in the world? ”
……
"Everything?"
Jiang Ru watched the otter demons lined up in an orderly manner, carrying their hands on their backs relentlessly, like ants moving, taking all kinds of sundries away from the Lingtai Ruins, and she counted them one by one.
"It's all here." Da Hei scratched his belly: "Master, why did you let Shizun be alone inside?" ”
"Later, when he opens the altar and practices the Fa, the qi of heaven and earth will be mobilized. In addition to himself, outsiders were around the mandala, and if they were not careful, they would be swept into pieces by the violent qi machine. Jiang Ru glanced at the otter demon, thinking that these little guys are all fat, and they are not too ugly when they are used to it.
"I see." Da Hei nodded.
"In the future, in front of outsiders, don't call me my sister indiscriminately." Jiang Ru glared at Da Hei at the end, although he was secretly happy to be called so, but this kind of thing should not be too explicit.
"I remember, Master!" Big Black grinned, then ran away.
Jiang Ru was about to kick him, but Lu Wangji came to hold the qin and said, "Everyone has come out, and I am responsible for guarding the gate." ”
Compared with Jiang Ru, who deals with various mundane affairs, Lu Wangji is much more leisurely on weekdays. But Jiang Ru did not complain, she knew very well that Lu Wangji's mana was strong, and when it came to the dangerous occasion of fighting and killing, only Lu Wangji could join forces with Zhao Huang to resist the enemy, and cooperate seamlessly, which she was far from being able to do.
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Ru nodded and said, "I found that Zhao Huang has a different familiarity with the situation in Lingtai Ruins, and he doesn't need you and me to take care of it." ”
Lu Wangji said: "In addition to arranging the mandala these days, Zhao Xiao has been practicing the magic tricks if he has time, and he has a bit of sympathy with the Lingtai Market. ”
"Zhao Huang has a lot of adventures, and I ask Taoist friends not to spread the word about this matter." Jiang Ru said.
"I understand." Lu Wangji turned around and said, "There is another matter, you should beware of Chu Mengchun when you leave. ”
Jiang Ru asked, "What?" Do you see that he has bad intentions? ”
"I don't know." Lu Wangji said: "When he came to visit yesterday, I sensed that he was blessed by an external force, and the weather around him was very different from before. Such a drastic change is so bizarre that I have to be on guard at the moment. ”
Jiang Ru hurriedly asked, "Have you told Zhao Huang about this?" ”
"I've already said it." "But he doesn't seem to care. ”
"Don't care too much?" Jiang Ru's eyes rolled, and then smiled: "Since this is the case, there is no need for us to meddle in things." ”
……
Chu Mengchun stood in the torrent, letting his robe get soaked, and a waterfall in front of him hung up like a curtain of water, flowing endlessly.
Seeing Chu Mengchun's palms appear, he pushed outward, the waterfall was suddenly divided, and on the wet rock wall, a secluded doorway suddenly appeared, and he stepped in with a gloomy face, passed through the long secret passage, and finally glimpsed a glimmer of light.
Beyond the secret passage, there is a Lingtai Ruins full of strange flowers and plants. Chu Mengchun looked at a hilltop platform in the distance, and he could vaguely see the Dao Fu Seal Guanghua circling and flying, it should be Zhao Huang practicing the Dharma on the altar.
"Zhao Xiao, today is your death!" Chu Mengchun roared in his heart, he felt that the hundred pulses of qi were rushing, and his ears were full of the sound of qi and blood drumming.
Chu Mengchun took out a jade seal of a button, silently used his mana for a moment, and then reluctantly covered the ground.
The jade seal was delicate and small, enough to be held in the palm of the hand to play with, but the moment it touched the ground, a surge spread out in all directions, and the qi of heaven and earth, which was originally gathering towards the high altar, suddenly stagnated.
At this time, in the sky, nine majestic palace gates suddenly appeared, standing above the clouds, lined up into a ring. The brilliance loomed in the palace gate, and gradually condensed into a nine-colored edge, which was just aimed at the altar of the high platform.
Chu Mengchun tried his best to urge the formation, feeling as if he was buried deep in the cracks, bearing enough squeezing to shatter his bones, even if the flesh blessed by the mana of the gods, his muscles and bones were still trembling at this moment, blood was oozing from the corners of his eyes, and the meridians at his eyebrows and forehead were bursting out, and they were about to burst.
Chu Mengchun, who was relegated to the Lingtai Ruins, knew very early on that there were remnants of the mountain protection array here, but it was a pity that the Chongxuan Pavilion did not send too many people to repair the formation. Although Chu Mengchun planned to rectify it and spent some time studying, he found that the mountain protection array was entangled with the entire Lingtai Ruins blessed land, and he was far from being able to repair it on his own.
After a few months, Chu Mengchun's patience was exhausted, and there was no one to supervise, so he chose to leave Lingtai Market and become a master in the nearby market town, amassing wealth.
Fortunately, Chu Mengchun occasionally obtained an ancient mirror one day, and was able to communicate with an ancient deity, who not only taught advanced techniques, but also instructed himself on how to tempt the foolish people in the countryside so that they would willingly give up their gold and silver wealth, and even the neighboring big families had to send their children to slap him.
Although this kind of life is much more difficult than that of a county guard, it is barely acceptable. In addition, there is no shortage of Zhicao Mushi in the Lingtai Ruins that help cultivation, although Chu Mengchun was demoted to this point and had to hand over the spiritual plants to the Chongxuan Pavilion every month, he also had a way to get a piece of the pie.
It can be said that today's Chu Mengchun is not comparable to the past, and the mountain protection array is still operating, as long as he can unleash some of its power, he has self-confidence, even if he is a master of the world who has become a fetal immortal, he is not his opponent!
Getting rid of distracting thoughts, Chu Mengchun pushed his true qi mana to the limit, and the nine palace gates in the sky were like a woman giving birth, giving birth to a nine-colored edge with difficulty, causing the entire Lingtai Ruins to shake the mountains and sway.
"Death!"
Chu Mengchun shouted violently, his expression was crazy, and the nine-colored edges flew out in unison, shooting towards the high platform altar together.
The nine blades strike together, its sound is like a column falling from the sky, and its power is enough to destroy the peaks and mountains!
A loud sound like a bell shook from afar, and the altar of the high platform was directly erased by the great power, and the nine-colored glow in the distance flickered and flickered, as if telling the unwillingness of defeat.
"Hahahaha-Zhao Xiao! How does it feel? Back then, Xuanpu Hall took advantage of this to enlighten the Nine Gate Formation, and killed countless mountain attacking demons and evil spirits to the point of blood, how can you resist such divine power when you are alone?! ”
Chu Mengchun saw that the altar of the high platform collapsed, and he looked up to the sky and laughed, and he was very ecstatic.
"The Nine Gates of Enlightenment refer to the nine orifices of the human body to sweep away the filth and rejuvenate themselves."
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in the surrounding heaven and earth: "Full of vitality, qi through a hundred veins, refining a Dan heart, natural nine orifices are bright, how can it be explained by the power of killing?" ”
"You-Zhao Xiao?!" Chu Mengchun immediately heard that it was Zhao Xiao's voice, he was shocked and looked around, but he didn't see Zhao Xiao's figure, he was furious, and immediately raised his mana, and the jade seal of the claw button was raised high, and a strange dragon species with no horns on his head and a long tail appeared in a double position!
"Dragon?" Zhao Xiao still didn't see anyone, and his voice came with the wind: "Legend has it that there was a dragon hidden in the depths of the Lung Mountain, and the Chongxuan Pavilion moved here and built a dojo, which disturbed this dragon, and a vicious fight broke out between the two sides. ”
"Don't hide your head and tail, get out of here!" Chu Mengchun swept his fingers together, and the dragon that was guarding the arch opened his mouth, spitting waves and spitting water everywhere.
"Why be anxious?" Zhao Xiao's tone was leisurely and calm: "It was not the famous national teacher who killed the dragon back then, but the Chu Jieyu of the Yi'an Chu clan. In the early years, they were known as the four masters of Chongxuan with Wang Zongran and Zheng Yulou, all of whom were the choice of the moment and the talents of the world.
After the dragon was killed, the flesh and blood were weathered and the water did not exist, and the spiritual materials such as scales, muscles and bones were made into various magic weapons. If I'm not mistaken, this jade seal in your hand is a wisp of the remnant soul of the dragon, and it can exert the magic of spewing waves and devouring fire in front of the dragon.
Chongxuan Pavilion is not famous for refining magic weapons, Chu Jieyu's predecessors can use the remnant soul as a magic weapon, I want to ask for advice carefully. It's a pity that Chu Jieyu's predecessors fell in the War of the Five Kingdoms, and now Chu Fenggui, the head of the Chu family and the courtier, seems to be his younger brother, right? ”
"Are you finished?!" Chu Mengchun was very angry and angry, what annoyed him the most was that others moved out of the Chu elders, and he made many accusations and criticisms of himself, as if he was not as good as his predecessors, he must be incompetent, as if his past efforts and diligence were all in vain.
"I don't understand, even if you hate me, hate me, and even do not hesitate to destroy your immortal Dao cultivation foundation, you still have to try to kill me." Zhao Xiao's figure suddenly appeared from mid-air and slowly fell: "But after you kill me, how will you stand on your own?" ”
