Chapter 255: Mist Shroud Vine Rose
The boat landed, and Zhao Xiao and Qian Shaobai led more than 100 soldiers into the dense fog.
In order to prevent the elusive monsters from kidnapping the soldiers, everyone tied the hemp rope around their waists, lined up left and right, and slowly advanced, the rainbow pearl hung high, blooming rainbow light to force the surrounding fog a little bit, trying to illuminate the surrounding hazy fog.
"I can't sense the crane I just released." Zhao Xiao raised his hand to make a false move, but he got nothing: "This fog is really unusual, similar to the maze fog barrier that guards the entrance of the cave, which can hinder the magic sense and the peep of ghosts and gods. ”
Qian Shaobai pinched his fingers, carefully guarded his surroundings, and said: "To be able to gather such a large fog barrier, not only to take water for use, but also to set up a formation where the leyline qi machine is vented. ”
"Where the earth's veins and water vapor meet, there are many springs and wells." Zhao Xiao asked, "What kind of monster do you think it will be?" ”
Qian Shaobai replied: "Maybe it's the genus of the Aqua Scale." ”
"Not necessarily." Zhao Xiao shook his head: "I sensed that there was a trace of grass and trees in this dense fog. ”
I saw that the wooden staff in Zhao Xiao's hand was faintly emitting blue light, and a new sprout grew from the top, as if this wooden staff was still a living thing.
Qian Shaobai glanced at it, but he didn't dare to ask more, thinking that Zhao Xiao's cultivation mana was unpredictable and elusive.
Since deciding to walk with Xuanpu Tangmen, Zhao Xiao picked up the "Sumai Dan Heart Formula" again.
This Xuanputang immortal method starts with the exhalation of pure qi and the cultivation of spiritual roots, and pursues the long and continuous flow of qi, refining the true qi of Yimu, so as to cultivate sesame grass and repair the garden.
If the "Five Tibetan Chapters of Shuying" is like a thick soil accumulation, then the "Nine Heavens Purple Wendan Chapter" is like a high sky cirrus clouds, and the "Sumai Dan Heart Formula" is like a spiritual root giant tree that is deeply rooted in the ground and high into the clouds.
It stands to reason that it is not easy to integrate the three immortal law inheritances, but with Zhao Xiao's current cultivation and the Lingxiao from the side, he quickly understood the many techniques in the "Sumai Dan Heart Formula" and the Xuanpu Jade Book.
In addition to the enlightened nine-gate array that can unleash the nine-color edge, there are not too many fighting techniques in the Xuanpu Jade Book, Zhao Xiao found a living tree to turn into a staff method, and led a wisp of true qi into a talisman seal, which was printed into the living tree for refining.
Once the sigil is fully rooted in the tree and connected to its veins, it can be used to turn the living tree into a cane and preserve the vitality of the tree.
Originally, this was the secret method used by Xuanpu Hall to transplant sesame grass and protect vitality, but Zhao Huang mixed it with the method of refining the weapon, intending to refine a living tree into a magic weapon.
This tree cane is not very powerful now, but it has the wonderful use of branches and leaves to smell the wind and root veins to probe the ground, even if the fog is full of obstacles at the moment, it does not prevent the tree staff from probing the trend of water veins and the terrain direction.
According to Zhao Xiao's guidance, everyone walked through the dense fog all the way and came to the county seat of Tatehua accurately.
"It smells of blood!" As soon as he entered the city, the fog around him was a little thick, but Qian Shaobai was even more nervous.
Everyone didn't dare to go deeper, so they randomly found a nearby dwelling to settle down and rest for a while.
"There was no one, and no bodies were seen." The soldiers searched carefully and then came to report.
Zhao Xiao shook the cane gently, and the top branches and buds were more flourishing, swaying slightly for a moment, and then shrank back as if frightened.
"How?" Qian Shaobai asked.
"The big demon is in the city." Zhao Xiao's face was slightly gloomy: "I'm afraid that the people in the city have been killed." ”
"But why are we approaching all the way, and we don't see the monster stop us?" Qian Shaobai was puzzled.
"Because of me." Zhao Xiao said bluntly: "It sensed my breath and didn't dare to do it." ”
Qian Shaobai lowered his voice and said, "Can you deal with this monster?" ”
"You don't know until you see it." Zhao Xiao did not boast.
Qian Shaobai thought for a moment, asked the soldiers to reorganize a little, and the group walked towards the depths of the county.
After a while, the fog gradually thinned, and the originally cloudy sky seemed to be torn open, and the naked eye could see that the golden sun was shining on the earth.
However, what you see in front of you is not a bustling market, small bridges and flowing water, but large patches of curved rattan trees all over the streets and alleys, overwhelming the walls and penetrating the roof tiles, with strange shapes and arbitrary extensions. Green moss grows almost every inch of the corner, making most of the county verdant green.
But in such a verdant and turquoise landscape, the strong and unusual smell of blood is suffocating, and even the most stupid people have a thought - this grass and trees will eat people!
Qian Shaobai had seen a lot of big scenes, but he was still shocked by the scene of the emerald green ground and the vines and trees in front of him, he sacrificed the rainbow orb, trying to find the monster, but he sensed that the surrounding demon aura was pervasive, and the quiet atmosphere was unsettling.
And Zhao Huang saw the vine in front of him, but suddenly recalled the demon vine he encountered in the mountains of Chengyang County in the past, for some reason, obviously the two mana skills are very different, but Zhao Huang still had a strange feeling.
"Be careful!"
At this time, there was a burst of white mist in the distance, everyone was on guard, Qian Shaobai did not hesitate, the rainbow light of the treasure bead was released, and the scorching flame swept over, blowing away the white mist.
saw the fire fluttering in mid-air, and everyone saw clearly what kind of fog was there, and it was clearly a large cloud of white floc.
Bai Fu burned into the air, and there was nothing unusual in the follow-up, everyone looked at each other, and Qian Shaobai also felt that he was making a fuss.
Everyone continued to walk forward and came to the place where the vines and trees met, and saw that each of them was full of two or three people hugging each other, and the vines were intertwined and climbed, stretching towards the sky, like a giant tree, but the branches and leaves were sparse, and the lush canopy was not visible.
"Is this the original body of the monster?" Qian Shaobai concentrated, and the orb bloomed with round after round of rainbow light, but he didn't see any abnormal changes in the vine giant tree.
Zhao Xiao stepped forward slowly, he had been activating the Ying Xuan Illumination Technique just now, and the light and color in front of him were mixed, and there was smoke floating in the air, but this vine giant tree did not see the slightest strange aura, and even its vitality was far weaker than it looked on the outside.
"Strange, this should be the original body of the monster." Zhao Xiao raised his staff and tapped the vine tree on the giant tree, and there was a crisp hollow sound.
"Empty?" Qian Shaobai was taken aback, and the orb shot out a ray of rainbow light, easily piercing the vine giant tree.
Receiving this blow, the heavy vine tree seemed to be unable to support its own weight, and let out a series of breaking sounds, and then collapsed with a bang.
The giant tree did not fall straight down, but collapsed like an avalanche of mud, and countless sawdust fell, raising a cloud of smoke and dust, and a cloud of white floc in it.
Zhao Xiao noticed a hint of abnormality, secretly breathed out turbid breath, and then rejected the external breath and turned to the inner breath.
He was about to speak, when the soldiers behind him accidentally inhaled sawdust and white floc, and immediately coughed, and in a blink of an eye, the surrounding soldiers seemed to be seriously ill, leaning over and coughing.
"That's not right!" Zhao Huang slammed the tree cane, and the blue light rippled like a wave, as if the jade bowl was upside down to protect everyone, and at the same time, he secretly clasped his teeth, making a sound of jade bell to dispel the charm, so as not to bewitch the mind with demons.
However, this still couldn't make the soldiers stop choking, Zhao Xiao stepped forward to take the pulse of one of them, and found that the qi and blood in his body were running disorderly, the veins were disordered, and a strange force invaded the internal organs.
"Gu poison?" In a hurry, he failed to find out the truth, Zhao Xiao took out the spell to suppress the Gu insect poison, burned it with a snap of his fingers, and turned it into a little light and bulleted into the soldier's mouth.
However, the momentum of the force in the soldier's body was so strong that he didn't have time to stop it, only let out a few low screams, and the skin on the surface rose and fell strangely, and sharp vine branches broke out of his body!
Zhao Xiao's figure flashed and stepped back, watching the soldiers break their vine branches one by one and turn into a strange appearance of half human and half tree, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"Demon mutation?!" Qian Shaobai also reacted at this time: "When were they attacked by demons?" ”
"It's white flocculent among the vines." Zhao Xiao said.
"They accidentally inhaled a little, how could the demon change be so fast?" Qian Shaobai gritted his teeth and was annoyed, he watched more than a hundred soldiers change one after another, like bloody people covered with rattan.
"The white floc in the wood is similar to the medicine lead." Zhao Huang secretly breathed and looked at the viscera and said: "The fog around Tatehua County may be the cause of the demon change, once it touches the white flocculent, it will immediately cause the demon change...... You and I have achieved success in cultivation, full of true qi, self-resisting external evils, but not invaded by the demon transformation qi. ”
Qian Shaobai was shocked when he heard this: "The people in the city were ...... originally."
"If you haven't fled, I'm afraid all the demons have changed."
As soon as the words fell, I saw a shadow in the distance, thousands of ordinary people, like walking corpses, slowly gathered together, whether they were men, women, old or young, all of them were in a tragic state of broken vine branches, their skin was shriveled, and their flesh and blood were withered, which made people unbearable to look at directly.
"It's a trap." Zhao Xiao immediately understood the current situation: "The flesh and blood vitality of ordinary people is not enough for such a big demon to fill their stomachs, and it has not made a move for a long time, just waiting for us to go deep inside." ”
"Where's the monster?" Qian Shaobai drove the Hongying Jewel, only to feel that the surroundings were so rich that they could not be dissolved, and they couldn't find the mastermind behind the demon transformation into a walking corpse.
Zhao Huang is also difficult to get a full glimpse of Fang Yuan with his Ying Xuan Illumination Technique, he understands that this monster is not shallow in its intelligence, and it is not blindly invisible, but a big drum demonic atmosphere, so as to hide in the forest with sinister intentions.
Seeing those demon transformation walking corpses slowly approaching, Zhao Xiao said to Qian Shaobai: "I'm here to find the demon body, and you protect the Dharma for me." ”
After saying that, he secretly buckled the true yuan lock, sacrificed the Daming Treasure Mirror, and the mirror emitted a circle of aura, which slowly unfolded outward.
The Daming Treasure Mirror has the ability to illuminate the Liuhe and understand the yin and yang, and all the hidden forms and hidden techniques are difficult to see in front of these immortal magic weapons. However, when it was really activated, Zhao Huang realized that the magic weapon of the immortal family was not something that anyone could use at will.
The mirror shines through, and at the same time, there are countless lights and shadows, which are reflected in Zhao Xiao's mind in great detail, and his mind is not firm enough, I am afraid that he will be filled with his mind and shocked by the mirror light.
Fortunately, with Zhao Xiao's cultivation now, he slowly launched the Daming Treasure Mirror, which can roughly take in the view of this Tatehua County, but it is not something that can be done in an instant.
At the same time, those walking corpses with broken vines seemed to have received a silent order, let out a low roar, and rushed towards Zhao Xiao and Qian Shaobai.
Qian Shaobai didn't dare to be careless, the rainbow reflection jewel emitted a rainbow light like a needle, easily sweeping down the nearest dozen or so walking corpses, but the hundreds of people who followed followed were frantically surging like a tide.
For a while, the demon wind was everywhere, the strange vines were dancing wildly, and the walking corpses were running wildly, which was not at all like the scene of the world, and countless demon transformation and walking corpses surrounded Zhao Qian and the others from all directions.
Qian Shaobai has also been in battle for a long time, but this is the first time he has seen a scene like this, he pinched the trick, and the rainbow light rose like a wall, blocking the demon transformation walking corpse.
Those demonic walking corpses seem to be strong, but once they hit the rainbow light barrier, they are immediately burned by the flames, and their limbs are waved wildly, which is not in order.
Qian Shaobai could see that although these people who were drilled and broken by the vine wood still had a trace of vitality, they were no different from puppet puppets, and their minds were completely lost, and they were driven by monsters at will.
Thousands of walking corpses gathered and flocked in, completely regardless of gains and losses, and in the blink of an eye, they squeezed the outside of the rainbow barrier to the brim. The walking corpses trampled on each other, getting higher and higher, trying to crush the rainbow barrier with their numbers.
Seeing that the rainbow light barrier was rippling endlessly, and it seemed unsustainable, Qian Shaobai tapped between his eyebrows, drawing out a wisp of natal true qi, and then raised his hand and pointed his finger and chanted:
"Three rays of light are coming, suppressing the evil spirits! The calamity is gone, and the eight poles are peaceful! ”
The three lights in the sky responded to the sound, and a fierce sun fell from the sky, illuminating the four fields white, and the dazzling gaze made ordinary people unable to look directly.
The power of the sun does not stop at once, but is like a heavenly immortal waving a large pen like a rafter, splashing ink on the earth at will.
Wherever Yang Yan passed, the demon corpses were instantly burned to charcoal, and the rich demonic qi around them was also melted away, greatly curbing the siege of the walking corpses.
The fundamental method of Shangjingzong "Three Lights True Purpose" pursues the internal refining of the three lights to achieve enlightenment and the external transportation of the three lights as the law. The true qi of the cloth of the three lights can save the world from diseases; The mana of the three lights can serve ghosts and gods; Xuan Sanguang's virtue can be absolutely demonic; The wisdom of the three rays of light can break through the darkness and darkness.
The method of the three lights seems simple, but it is to combine the three lights of the body with the three lights of the sky, and when fighting against the enemy, you can call the three lights to come, the sun burns the demon, the moon swings the soul, and the stars are lucky.
Now Qian Shaobai can barely call Yang Yan, but after casting it, he still feels that the true qi in his body is stagnant, and he urgently needs to breathe.
Fortunately, the demon transformation corpse was swept by the sun flame, and hundreds were burned in an instant, and the offensive was immediately slowed down, giving him a chance to breathe temporarily.
"Found it."
At this time, Zhao Xiao also spoke, and the Daming Treasure Mirror hung high in the air, and a beam of light emitted from the mirror, shining towards a shrine that was entangled with vines and trees.
I saw Zhao Xiao's sword finger wave, countless frost arrows poured out in the mirror, the north wind howled, the blizzard was like a tide, and in a blink of an eye, the shrine turned into a piece of silver, and ordinary plants and trees were frozen to extinction.
But then the earth trembled, the ground around the frozen shrine suddenly bulged, and the vines and trees in the city quickly became alive, like snakes and insects, surging vitality gathered in the direction of the shrine.
Suddenly, a statue of a god shattered the ice, and the city shook and broke through the ground!
Looking around, the statue of the god is full of wood and is four or five feet high. Most of the paint on the surface is peeling off, and you can still see the face of a kind old woman, sitting cross-legged with low eyebrows and eyes, and a dragon under her opens its teeth and claws to break free, but is firmly suppressed by the old woman.
"It's ...... Mrs. Zhenlong? Qian Shaobai was shocked to see the appearance of the statue of the gods, and couldn't help but exclaim.
