Chapter 399: Blood
The night is like water, and the stars are sparse and the moon is bright. The surging silver glow was silently reflected. It's like pure velvet.
Enveloping the whole world in it. At the foot of the mountain, a dilapidated grange. The black-robed old man stood silently in the small courtyard.
The stone table and square bench in front of him were empty, but a few plates of delicate snacks were placed, and a pot of tea was bubbling with the fragrance of birds.
His eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he waited quietly. Suddenly, a breeze blew. There was a very soft rustling sound, as if nothing had reached my ears.
The old man opened his eyes at this moment, and his expression instantly became extremely respectful. Quietly, the whole courtyard seemed to become a little different.
It's like being cut off from the outside world, and everything is silently still. Swish...... There was no warning in front of the old man's eyes, and the surroundings strangely returned to normal, as if it had just felt like a dream.
There is an extra light and shadow of the lake next to the stone table, constantly changing various shapes with the night breeze.
"The old slave has seen the master." The black-robed old man cleaned up his clothes and bowed to the ground.
"I've arrived, hasn't he even come?" An ethereal voice rang out, slowly coming from within the distorted light and shadow.
The black-robed old man was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look out of the courtyard,
"After seeing him that night, he made it clear that he would definitely come to see the Lord, perhaps because of some delay, so he would be a little late."
"Then wait a little longer, just in time for you to tell me the information you have gathered." The figure of Mohu is constantly swaying, like a candle flame changing shape in the wind.
Little by little, time passed. The clouds gradually rose, blocking out the moonlight like water and making the night more and more silent and quiet.
Although he had slowed down his speech and was speaking almost in detail, the black-robed old man finally stopped and poured out everything he knew.
In the process, he didn't know how many times he looked outside, but he never saw the figure that should have arrived a long time ago.
"So let's do it first." The distorted light and shadow gradually faded away, revealing a slender woman inside. She took a sip of the tea that had already cooled, and a surging smile appeared on her face,
"It looks like he's not coming, and he's really a little unfriendly." As she spoke, with her body as the center, a small space rippled.
The stone table in front of him, the stone bench under him, and the tea cup beside him all seem to be constantly switching back and forth between the unreal and the real.
The black-robed old man's eyes were panicked, and he lowered his head to hide the turbulent waves surging in his heart.
"I'm a little curious, what did you tell him, did he agree?"
"Or are you just messing things up, but you want to deceive me with a bit of luck." She raised her head and stared at the clouds that hung low in the night, waiting for the black-robed old man to answer.
Poof! The black-robed old man could no longer maintain a standing posture, and his knees suddenly fell to his knees. He suppressed the fear in his heart and tried to calm his trembling tone,
"If you go back to the master, the old slave is to follow your instructions, and mention to him the Spirit God Earth Immortal, the Spirit Zhen Divine Son, and the Xuan Mirage Patriarch who has obtained the flesh and blood of the Great Witch. He also told him that if he wants to get out of this crisis situation, cooperating with the Lord is the most appropriate choice......" Speaking of this, the old man in the black robe showed great doubts.
He did agree directly at that time, and repeatedly confirmed the time and place with the old slave, saying that he would never joke with his net worth and life, even if it was a knife in the sky, he would definitely come to the appointment on time and meet the Lord. In addition, the old slave also asked the shadow to guard around the mansion, if the person wanted to leave, he would naturally not be able to stop him, but he would definitely pass on the information as soon as possible. But until nightfall today, everything was still normal, and the man didn't move anything except behind closed doors. She suddenly laughed, and said in a calm and slow tone,
"So, if there is no knife in the sky, he won't come, right?"
"It was in vain that I specially prepared a meeting gift for him, and in the end it would be such a ridiculous result."
"Lord forgive your sins, old slave ......" she waved her hand, and the old man in black robe suddenly froze still, unable to say a word.
"I don't blame you, after all, you are an old servant who has been with me for a long time, so there is naturally no need to doubt your loyalty."
"And in the past two days, you have been preparing for my arrival, and you don't have more time and energy to keep an eye on him, otherwise this situation would not have happened." As she spoke, a smile came back to her face,
"However, if you take a step back and think about it, maybe he is really in trouble, or even in some trouble, so he delayed coming to meet me, instead of deliberately breaking my face and releasing my pigeons." Swish...... The pressure of the mountains dissipated sharply, and the black-robed old man regained his freedom.
He immediately spoke,
"The old slave will go into the city to investigate, and even if he is tied up, he will tie people up to the master." She nodded,
"There should still be a spiritual sect disciple hidden in the city, if I appear there, it may attract the attention of Ling Donnie and even the spirit god, so I really have to bother you to go over and take a look at what the situation is."
"It's not necessary to just tie it up, after all, with the level of strength he shows, you are not necessarily his opponent, and it is very likely that you will be beaten to death." The black-robed old man took the order and left.
She was the only one left, sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, closing her eyes and falling into meditation. Despite the changes, her mood remained calm.
The more carefully you plan something, the more likely it is to fluctuate. It's all perfectly normal.
It's nothing more than planning for the worst, working for the best, and everything in the world is like that. The clouds were getting thicker, and the night wind was a little wet.
The raindrops fell quickly, connecting the whole world into one. The sound of footsteps came from far and near, penetrating the dense rain curtain and entering the small courtyard.
The black-robed old man's face was miserable, and his tone was complicated,
"He has already run away, and even a large family has disappeared without a trace, but the dark shadows that were originally lurking around have been disturbed, and no warning has been found from beginning to end."
"Oh?"
"Has even the Shadows been affected?" She slowly got up from the stone bench where she had been sitting for a long time,
"In that case, I need to see for myself what the situation is." A quarter of an hour later, the old house of the Hong family.
Distorted light and shadow flowed quietly, walking in the vast rain curtain.
"With such a pure ghost car's true intent remaining, it's no wonder that the shadows didn't approach here, and they would be unconsciously disturbed and affected their spirits." She sighed and stepped into a corridor.
Stopping in front of an antique bedroom, she looked at the closed door and fell into a long silence.
There was a soft squeak. She pushed the door open and looked around. Finally, I sat down on a neat and tidy bed.
"I see, no wonder he can carry the four true intentions in his body."
"The real reason is beyond my expectations once again, he turns out to be a Void Walker."
"And it's not an ordinary Void Walker, this kind of almost non-existent ripple fluctuation, even I have to hide it."
"So, he's gone, but he's not really leaving."
"Then I'll stay still and wait for him to come back on his bed." At the same time, the Northland Heath.
Zang poured a jar of spirits into his mouth and slowly exhaled a scorching breath.
"Da Zhou, I found the true meaning of Suzaku, and the spies there have been confirmed dead." He looked down at the Mirage warrior who was kneeling on one knee, and a hideous smile appeared on his face.
"This news came at the right time, I have just accumulated the killing intent in my heart to the point of boiling, and I need a powerful enemy to pour it out."
"It's better that he's strong enough so that I don't have to be disappointed after being full of hope." ……………………………… Joy's Lair, Dark Stone Temple.
Wei Tao's eyes closed slightly, and a look of pain flashed on his face. With its body as the center, it is clearly visible that white light is swirling and flames are rising.
There is even a faint smell of scorched lake, which escapes from the surface of the body.
"With my chaotic and phaseless body, I can already smell the surging aroma of barbecue meat."
"Nangong Vermilion Bird, Yingfu Huode, I am not the true body of Suzaku, so in terms of tolerating the blazing heat, it is indeed a big weakness, and even the horizontal practice method can only be alleviated, but cannot be completely ignored." After a long time, Wei Tao opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of burning breath.
Immediately, the white light shone brightly, and the flames soared. It raises the heat up more than one level. At this moment, the status bar quietly manifests the void.
Name: Great Sun Divine Palm Progress: One hundred and ten. Status: Broken one section. Description: Vermilion Bird is gradually born, and fire virtue is re-bright.
"Whether to consume a gold coin to improve the cultivation progress of the Great Sun Divine Palm." Wei Tao silently stared at the description of the Great Sun Divine Palm, and for a long time he didn't make up his mind to improve again.
On that moonlit and starry night, a conversation with the black-robed old man, although the other party did not reveal too much detailed information, it had already made him smell the vague danger of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.
The Earth Immortal Spirit God, the Spirit Zhen Divine Son, the Xuan Mirage Patriarch who may become a great witch, and the mysterious master of the black-robed old man, each of them is not an easy person.
And they all set their eyes on his body. Then that means. His situation now seems to be very dangerous.
It's not safe at all. Therefore, we must not take the enemy lightly and must be cautious.
Therefore, Wei Tao immediately did not hesitate to consume his energy, find out the hidden eyeliner in Cangyuan City, and then arrange for Hong Sheng's family and Huang Jiaoyun to leave south.
He himself was non-stop in the void, and then started a new round of ascension. It's just that Wei Tao didn't expect that after the Great Sun Divine Palm reached the peak level of 100%, his physical body seemed to be a little overwhelmed.
Especially after rising up to break the limit again, his tolerance for blazing heat has reached its limit.
If you don't care about it, maybe the whole person will become a burning torch. When you find a problem, you need to solve it.
No matter what it is, it is an absolute truth that cannot be broken. Wei Tao fell into deep thought, looking for a way to solve the problem.
Little by little, time passed. I don't know how long it has been. Suddenly, a flash of spiritual light dispelled the darkness in front of him.
"Why do you want to get caught up in the idea of increasing fire resistance?"
"Beigong Xuanwu, for the non-deuce water, just corresponds to the southern Vermilion Bird and the glowing fire virtue."
"So turning around, in the end, we still have to use the old business to solve the problem, as the so-called sea and rivers, balance hedging, I should be in the middle, how can I let foreign objects lead the nose to drive myself?" The turtle and snake were born with a thought, and the sky and the earth were wide in an instant.
Quietly, the status bar reappeared. Wei Tao's mind moved slightly, and he focused on the Xuanwu True Solution.
Name: Turtle and snake crossing. Progress: 1,600. Status: 150 paragraphs broken. Description: Xuanwu gradually grows, and the turtle and snake are bright.
"Whether to consume a status bar gold coin to improve the progress of the turtle and snake trading practice." Wei Tao did not hesitate and directly chose yes.
Silently, a gold coin disappeared. The mysterious aura began to infuse the body, and the dual changes of body and spirit descended.
Rumble!! Suddenly darkness surged, and cold death came. The colossal phantom of the turtle and snake intersected, slowly floating behind Wei Tao.
A pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened, as if two stars lit up in the dark deep sky. And as the change began, he sensed the coolness that he had not seen for a long time.
It's like drinking a cold drink that has just been taken out of the refrigerator on a hot summer day. For the next period of time.
One by one, the gold coins disappeared. The turtle and snake intersection began to climb upwards. Wei Tao threw in thirty gold coins in one go, breaking through it to one hundred and sixty stages.
The burning sensation has been reduced by half, and the rest is already within the tolerable range.
"Kan is water, separation is fire, water and fire are compatible, yin and yang hedge." Wei Tao exhaled softly and stopped.
He wanted to move on and solve the problem once and for all. He is even ready to go one step further, with the help of the compatibility of water and fire, yin and yang hedging brought by the true intent of the Vermilion Bird's Xuanwu, to take the Vajra Dharma Body of the Chaotic Phaseless Realm one step further, and touch the wonderful scenery of the higher level of physical body cultivation.
However, the recurrence of severe headaches forced him to stop and temporarily dismiss the idea of continuing to improve.
After several successive exercises and upgrades, the True Spirit Divine Soul was finally stretched to the limit again. The True Spirit Soul must be strengthened and improved again in order to meet the next challenges.
Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. After thinking in silence for a moment, he decided not to do anything, and he vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal.
It is to retreat and practice penance behind closed doors. Raise the strength to a level that cannot be advanced at this stage. In this way, he can turn the possible danger into an opportunity, and make all the enemies who provoke him kneel in front of him.
I eat all that I can eat. If you can't eat it, you have to tear it all up and break it up. With this in mind, Wei Tao took his gaze away from the status bar and looked at the surging white light that lit up within the scorched black trace.
Do it when you think of it, without any hesitation. Swish! A wisp of spider silk slowly poked out. The mystical silk carried the distraction, and quietly sank into the depths of the newly formed cobweb.
Brilliant light suddenly flashed. A distraction sank into the passage at this point. After a void crossing, Wei Tao was already comfortable with this and was familiar with it.
Let the dark space envelope, follow the faint sense, until you plunge into the depths of the light at the end of the darkness.
Peng!! The head bulges into a big bag. It seems that there is a gap. Blood ran down his forehead.
I can't even open my eyes. At the same time, there were a series of heavy blows, which kept falling on the body from all directions.
Before Wei Tao could adapt to the sudden switch of light and dark, he found that this body had been subjected to such tyrannical treatment.
He held his breath, feeling the swelling and pain he had not felt for a long time, and immediately held his head in his hands and curled up his body to minimize the exposed area of the vital area.
Time flies. A moment later, with a crisp sound, the man dropped the stick in his hand.
"Count your kid's good luck today, if there is a next time, let me see you take care of Yin Yin's affairs, and I will kill you directly!" A not-so-old man's voice rang out, with a strong sense of threat.
The next moment, the young man was about to turn away. Wei Tao struggled to stand up at this time. He caressed his chest with one hand and put the other behind his back.
And blood trickled down his fingertips and fell to the ground.
"Yinyin, who is it?" Wei Tao spoke slowly, raised his head and looked around, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
Whether it was the bloodstained short-sleeved trousers or the various garbage piled up on the ground, they all told him a fact.
That is the world where Xi's mother left its mark, and there have been all kinds of things that only exist after industrial development.
Although it was not as good as the various technologies before the crossing, it also brought him considerable surprise, and even his spirit was in a trance for a moment.
"Xu Yao, you kid still dare to pretend to be stupid."
"It seems that the fight was still too light, so that you think I dare not take your life."
"I'll tell you the truth, in this chaotic world, it's normal for one or two people to die, even if you rot in this garbage dump, only wild dogs will come and help you collect the body." With a gloomy smile on his face, the young man slowly stepped forward and raised his hand to slap it off.
Syllable! Katsa! Two voices rang out at the same time. There was also a stream of blood that flew in an instant.
"You, you......" The young man covered his neck, his eyes suddenly red. Even his body instantly became trembling and chilling.
Katsa! Another flash of white light. He slumped. Sitting on the garbage heap, his lips twitching and he couldn't speak.
"I was almost beaten to death as soon as I came."
"The more I think about it for a while, the more angry I become, and the more I take a step back, the more I feel that I will lose."
"If I don't kill you directly, my mind will not be smooth, and my thoughts will not be clear, I can only say that you have a way to die, and I can't blame it." Wei Tao wiped the blood on his face, threw away the glass shards in his hand, looked up at the sky that was rapidly darkening, and there was a faint trace of blood-red, and an inexplicable complicated expression flashed between his eyebrows.
After a moment, he pressed the statue of the Joyful Mother in his pocket and slowly closed his eyes.
"Unlike Su Mo of Lingyin Mountain, his true spirit mark is quite stable, but he completely gave up resistance after communicating with him, and even took the initiative to lead my distraction to come through the statue of the Goddess Ximu."
"It's really hard to understand what kind of death-seeking spirit this is."
"Could it be that only the desperate and helpless will pin their hopes on Ximu, praying frantically for its coming, even if they do everything for it?"
"His only wish is for me, the so-called Descending Divine Envoy, to protect Yin Yin?"
"But I just killed someone, and I may be about to row and run away, in this case, what is Yin Yin?" Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air full of blood, Wei Tao looked down at the corpse on the ground that had not moved, and then looked at a few wild dogs probing his brain not far away, and suddenly found that what this guy said seemed to be true.
The death of one or two people really doesn't seem like a big deal? Dragging the body deep into the garbage, Wei Tao slowly stepped back.
Wipe as many footprints and other traces as possible, and watch the wild dogs gather around and eat the carcasses.
Soon after, he found a small river to wash his body, changed into clothes he had found from the dump, and began to move closer to the place where there was light.
The night breeze blows and blows away the heat that has accumulated throughout the day, making the summer night much cooler and more refreshing.
Wei Tao stood in the dark on the corner of a city, silently staring at the signboards on the side of the road and the crowds coming and going, and suddenly had an inexplicable feeling as if he was in a different world.
Two coolly dressed young women walked under the streetlights, each carrying a bag of food, presumably from a store.
A ragged child stopped them, not knowing if they were going to ask for something, but they were quickly scolded and driven away, and even chased after them and scolded them.
The next moment, suddenly a scream rang out. Someone rushed out of the side alley, grabbed a bag and ran away while one of the young women was not looking.
They stomped their feet and cursed, but they didn't dare to catch up, and could only watch each other disappear into the depths of the dark alley.
Wei Tao rubbed the statue of the Joyful Mother in his pocket and slowly withdrew his gaze. He looked up again at the night sky where the clouds converged, and still found a surging blood-colored glow.
It's like blood is spilled on it, giving people a strange and weird feeling. More than twenty minutes later, he searched for memory fragments and came to a low dwelling.
This should be Xu Yao's residence.
