Chapter 649: Flowing Clouds
The wind and rain were shaky, and the fog was shrouded.
If you look down from a high place, the entire Cangyuan City seems to have disappeared, and the traces of existence have been completely erased from Qizhou BJ.
And as time goes on, the fog gets thicker.
Not even the lightning that swept across the sky could penetrate the fog and illuminate below.
"The clouds are from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, and the beetle snake comes out of the mist."
Wei Tao looked down at the shopkeeper of the wine shop who had suddenly fallen asleep, and had no intention of waking him up, but sat down at the table alone, picked up a bowl of chaos that had already become cold, and ate it.
In a trance, the missing memories struck again.
He sat here, as if he had stepped back in time.
He had just returned from the ambush in the middle of the night, and under the surprised gaze of President Shi of the Youth Alliance, he ate two barrels of fresh meat in one go.
Wei Tao drank the last mouthful of soup and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Although the world has changed, the vicissitudes of life, and the Youth Alliance has long since disappeared, to his surprise, the chaotic taste of this bowl of fresh meat has not changed, and it is still so delicious and salty.
The autumn wind whined, and the heavy rain kept beating on the roof, making a crackling sound.
There were also wisps of fog, quietly eroding inward from the cracks in the door frames and windows, and it didn't take long for the entire box to become hazy, like a strange dream scene.
Wei Tao turned his head slightly, and heard footsteps coming from the wooden staircase upstairs.
With a creaking noise, it was approaching the box little by little.
He still sat still, and instead of going out to check, he fell into deep memories again, enduring waves of intense swelling pain, connecting the fragments of memories that had quietly flashed one by one.
Still in this wine shop.
Still sitting opposite President Shi late at night.
They were suddenly attacked by the Red Lantern Society.
It was in the box in the corner of the upper floor, and in the dark and narrow corridor, that he experienced for the first time what it was like to be surrounded and hunted down.
There is also the woman who is inextricably linked to the Red Lantern Society, from the beginning of the strong sense of oppression to the life-and-death confrontation on the way south from Cangyuan City, and even until the end, he didn't really figure out how many personalities she split and what kind of connection she had with each other.
Footsteps are getting closer.
Soon I was already outside the door of the private room on the first floor.
Then there was a soft squeak.
The wooden door that had been closed by Wei Tao not long ago was pushed open again.
Through the half-open and half-hidden door, you can clearly see two figures wearing high hats and white robes, looking expressionlessly towards the house.
Wei Tao looked at them, his eyes fell on each other, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
These two people, who had just appeared in his memory one moment ago, came along the wooden ladder and appeared directly in front of his eyes.
The most important thing is that their body appearance is exactly the same as that of the two incense owners of the Red Lantern Society, no matter what means they use to observe and perceive, they can't find even the slightest difference.
The door of the box room opened, and the thick fog poured in with the two red lantern owners.
This was when the battle broke out.
And then it ended in an instant
Wei Tao slowly lowered his raised arm, and a puzzled expression gradually appeared between his eyebrows.
He thought he had fallen into a hallucination.
Whether it is the sound of footsteps from far and near, or the red light that pushes the door in, it is not a real thing.
However, from the analysis of the hand-to-hand process just now, and then looking at the broken corpse that fell to the ground, even he couldn't tell whether everything in front of him was true or false, real or false.
If it is not an illusion, it means that the Mist Snake has the ability to create things in the void, and can reappear in the world from his memories of characters that have long disappeared.
The change was so strange that no one had ever been able to do it in the memories he had recovered.
But even if it was an illusion, it greatly exceeded Wei Tao's expectations.
After all, with the level he had reached, even if there were still many memories that had not been retrieved, he was not so easily troubled by illusions, not to mention that he had not found any problems until now.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed and appeared by the door of the box.
Wei Tao gathered his thoughts, and without thinking about it, he hit the red line of red practice.
But just as the scarlet blood line was about to pierce the slender figure, it was taken back by him without warning.
"Did you even come out?"
Wei Tao exhaled lightly, his eyes were full of emotion and sighed, "So, are you Bai Yiyi, or Bai Youyou, or Bai Lingyu who will appear last?"
When I see you, I can't help but think of your teacher, who is also a character who does not hesitate to sacrifice his life in pursuit of the truth, and Senior Sister Yun, who continues to walk along this path, I don't know how she is doing now, and whether she has returned to the lost place where drastic changes are taking place. β
Then, without waiting for her to respond, he continued, "Forget it, it's been a long time since I didn't know how long it has passed, and I'm just a little curious about it, but it doesn't make much sense to figure it out." β
Swish!!!
Before the words fell, the scarlet blood line suddenly skyrocketed.
Piercing through the mist clouds that filled the box, the young woman in white dress was submerged in an instant.
After a few moments, everything returned to calm.
But there were light footsteps quietly.
Soon crossed the hallway to the door of the box.
Wei Tao put down the flask he had just picked up, and an emotion that could be called anticipation suddenly rose in his heart.
After the first two experiences of outsiders, he faintly had some guesses, that is, what he once remembered in his heart would appear in the clouds and fog outside the door.
Therefore, after Bai Youyou, he deliberately tested it according to the memory he had just retrieved, just to see if his inference was true.
What's more, after killing the people with the Red Temper Red Line, he could clearly perceive the injection of bloodline essence, and it was more suitable for himself than those mutated beasts and even the Northern Wilderness warriors.
As the sound of light footsteps got closer and closer, a figure somewhat similar to Bai Youyou came into view.
Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and a gentle smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Senior Gong, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed?"
The palace stopped, looking through the half-open door.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly replied with a faint smile, "Wei Daozi, I once begged you to kill all the disciples of the Dingxuan Sect, since you have promised me, why did you break your promise and not fulfill your promise?" β
The voice fell, and Miyaen turned his head to look at his side.
His eyes fell on the young woman who appeared silently, and the smile on his face became more and more intense, "Wei Daozi, my personal disciple has always been alive and well, so even if you want to lie in front of me, I am afraid that you will not be able to fool you." β
"Senior Sister Yun is still alive, how do you know that she is still alive and well?"
Wei Tao's brows furrowed, and a hint of cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Rumble!!!
Suddenly, the scarlet blood line skyrocketed, and the box was filled in an instant.
But this is not the end, but the beginning of a more violent attack.
In less than a breath, the entire liquor shop was covered in a shroud of scarlet.
Except for the shopkeeper, who was still asleep, everything was razed to the ground and turned into a ruined ruin.
The palace and Yunhong that had just appeared were also gone, leaving only a few fragments of dresses flying in the wind, which quickly disappeared into the depths of the mist.
"I originally wanted to live peacefully with you, but I didn't expect you to take my forbearance as your own powerful force, and tried to invade my consciousness again and again, I have to say that you have a way to die, and you deserve to be killed by me soon after reappearing in the world."
Wei Tao took a big stride and came to the long stone road shrouded in mist.
The earth shook slightly, and there was a growing rustling sound that was gathering towards the liquor stores from all directions.
Under the shroud of mist and clouds, the entire Cangyuan City seemed to come to life.
But there are two outliers who are out of step with the whole city.
There was growing malice in the mist, trying to exclude them.
Wei Tao stood still, like a silent reef, protecting the shopkeeper behind him, bearing the malicious impact like a big wave.
Since returning to the Lost Land, all other cultivation techniques have been cut off, and only the most basic red line of red practice has been preserved.
Wei Tao had no choice but to follow this only remaining road and keep moving forward to find the end of the red line.
From the Red Practice Hundred Lines to the Red Practice Thousand Lines, and then to the Red Practice Ten Thousand Lines, until the Brahma Dajiao was broken, the Northern Wilderness Imperial Family, which carried the spiritual intent of Brahma, was devoured and absorbed, and this basic cultivation method had reached the height of 100,000 lines.
But even so, in the face of the beetle snake hidden in the depths of the clouds and mist, and the dragon could not see the head and tail, he still felt a certain amount of pressure.
At this moment, the shopkeeper of the wine shop woke up slowly.
With a confused expression on his face, he struggled to his feet from the depths of the ruins, followed the sound and looked into the distance, his gaze falling on the meandering crowd, his face suddenly turning as pale as frost and snow.
These people were all residents of the outer city.
But now they're all half-snakes.
There were no legs below the waist, replaced by snake tails that seemed to melt into the mist.
The palpitating rustling sound is the sound of the snake's tail scales rubbing against the long road of the stone slab.
"They, how did they become like this!?"
The shopkeeper of the wine store was drenched in cold sweat, and he tried not to let himself pass out.
He retracted his gaze, subconsciously looked down, his gaze fell on his trembling legs, and subconsciously muttered to himself, "Why haven't I grown a snake tail and kept my legs?" β
"You envy their slender snake tails?"
Wei Tao said, "As long as you leave my protection range, you will immediately be like them, and you will be alienated by the true meaning of the beetle snake filled with clouds and mist, and turn into a half-human, half-snake monster." β
The shopkeeper of the wine store shuddered, and hurriedly shook his head, "The villain didn't mean that, but when he saw the familiar neighbors suddenly become like this, he was a little unacceptable in his heart for a while." β
While the two were talking, the crowd that had been alienated by the snake's true meaning had come closer.
Then he touched the scarlet blood line that was quietly revealed.
It's like countless flying insects falling into a spider's web, gradually losing all their breath of life in the constant struggle, until they turn into ashes and scatter in all directions.
Little by little, time passed.
More and more ash piled up on the ground, completely covering the long stone path, as if it were a carpet woven with gray hair.
At the same time, there is also a strong smell of decay and decay, which lingers in Cangyuan City like substance.
Melt into the deeper and deeper mist, bringing with you a dark death that seems to belong to this world.
I don't know how long it took, but the rustling sound disappeared completely.
The entire Cangyuan City was empty and silent, and there was no longer a living person.
There are only ashes all over the ground, showing what has happened before.
Wei Tao brushed away the little ashes on his body, and his eyebrows did not show a relaxed expression, but were more serious and dignified than before.
Countless red blood lines were collected into the body, bringing countless breaths of life.
In addition, there is also an extremely pure beetle snake true meaning, which is also injected into the body along with the bloodline.
Rumble!!!
It was as if a muffled thunder rolled across the ground.
It's like a high-explosive bomb exploding.
Everything happens inside Wei Tao's body.
He narrowed his eyes sharply, and trembled violently on his knees.
The beetle snake really entered the body, and the impact was beyond his imagination.
It is completely different from the previous experience and perception when practicing Wuji Sanshou, if the original practice was compared to watching some kind of movie, then now it is going up to the hand-to-hand combat by himself, and the gap between theory and practice is simply incomprehensible.
This kind of impact made Wei Tao like a lightning strike, from the body to the soul, as if everything came to a halt in an instant, to follow and adapt to the shock and change of this moment.
Swish!
The Unreal status bar appears in front of you.
A gold coin vanished.
The mysterious aura is infused into the body, and on this basis, the changes are further deepened.
Rumble!!!
Centered on the collapsed liquor store, most of Cangyuan City was instantly covered in scarlet blood.
It was like detonating a giant bomb, and the shock wave spread in all directions, destroying the courtyards of countless houses in an instant.
When the shockwave gradually dissipated, a half-kneeling figure slowly straightened up.
Wei Tao raised his hand to wipe away the dried blood on his lips, and the cold snake scales on the surface of his arm flashed.
"Empiricism kills people, and the artistic conception of the infinite loose beetle snake, and the real mist beetle snake, are not at all the same level."
"I thought that I could easily deal with the evil spirits of the Holy Spirits who had returned to the world by attributing the Dharma to absorb the true intentions of different Holy Spirits, but it was not until tonight that I found the gap between ideals and reality in a head-to-head confrontation.
However, you didn't seize the opportunity just now, and you showed up to make a move at the moment when my true intention fell into chaos, and I can only say that overly cautious predatory habits are not a good thing, and sometimes they will delay the best fighters. β
Swish......
He sighed secretly, catching a long, slender shadow looming in his eyes.
It shuttles through the depths of the fog, and it shuttles through the void.
It seems to be wandering between reality and illusion, and it is difficult to capture the traces left behind no matter what.
"You're sending me a message, and your consciousness seems to be wondering why I'm not like everyone else, corrupted by the power you inadvertently emanated, and become a half-human, half-snake monster."
"Interestingly, your consciousness fluctuations are not only chaotic, but also make me feel a little naΓ―ve, and I have to make people suspect that you are now back in the world, maybe you are just a young snake that has just broken out of its shell."
Wei Tao took a deep breath of mist and slowly closed his eyes at this time.
Even though the clouds and mist were getting thicker and thicker, the beetle snake kept flashing in them, and they didn't look at it again.
For him, and for the beetle, the real battle has just begun.
