Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Thought
Half a month later, Ling Ning was able to get out of bed and walk, but his body was still wrapped in thick gauze, and he still had to continue to take medicine before his internal injuries healed. Under the guidance of the palace master, he used the Transformation God Determination every day to baptize the body repeatedly, although it has not fully recovered, but the strength of the body seems to have reached a higher level.
In contrast, Zi Chen's injuries were much more serious, he was in a coma for ten days in a row, and even the demon pill in his body cracked! Fortunately, Mrs. Shangyuan and Yuyin Daoren forcibly suppressed the news, and tried their best to treat him before he woke up, but he still couldn't get out of bed, and he was even so delirious that he didn't even want to speak.
On this day, Mrs. Yuan and Yuyin Daoren came to Ling Ning's room, and Qian Mei'er was wiping his face for him, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she hurriedly bowed and greeted her.
"Master, grandma, why are you here together?"
The two of them looked serious, and Mrs. Shangyuan said directly: "Xiao Ning, you have caused a big disaster this time!" Although we tried our best to hide it, the news of Zi Chen's serious injury still leaked, and it is estimated that someone from outside the territory will be sent to investigate in the near future, so for your safety, you better go out and take refuge. β
Before Ling Ning could speak, Qian Mei'er hurriedly said, "His injuries haven't healed yet, where can he go?" β
Mrs. Shangyuan said: "That's better than staying here, I don't know who the demon king will send...... If it's those Dharma protectors...... If you don't want him dead, let him out. β
Yuyin Daoist also said: "It just so happens that there is an abnormality on the side of the Nine Shadows Evil Sect, and the disciples sent out a few days ago have lost contact for no reason, Xiao Ning, you go and investigate." You don't have to rush to go secretly this time, and you can investigate slowly and recuperate by the way......"
"You don't want him to go alone, do you? I'm going to go with me anyway! β
Seeing that Qian Mei'er's expression was so resolute, Mrs. Shangyuan was also very troubled, "Mei'er, you'd better stay here to deal with the Demon King's people, no matter what, you are also Zichen's fiancΓ©e......"
"Nope! Grandmother! I have to go! β
"You kid......"
Yuyin Daoren patted Mrs. Shangyuan's shoulder, "Madam, since they ...... If they are in love with you, why stop them, let them go together. β
"That's it, grandma! I beg you! You know what I mean! β
Looking at Qian Mei'er's pleading eyes, Mrs. Shangyuan still said helplessly: "Okay, you can go with him." β
She turned her head to Ling Ning and said earnestly: "Ling Ning, although you won Zi Chen this time, it doesn't mean anything, whether you want to or not, she is Zi Chen's fiancΓ©e...... The status of the demon king is equivalent to the head of the five major sects of the Immortal Dust Continent, and you have to deal with not one person but an entire demon clan. I'll admit you're talented, but it's not enough! The most indispensable thing in the immortal cultivation world is genius. If one day I feel that Mei'er is in danger, I will take her away at all costs, Mei'er, you can mess around at will, but what about later? Think about it. β
Mrs. Shangyuan turned around and left, and Yuyin Daoren sighed: "You will set off in three days." Since ancient times, one word is the most difficult to understand, you ...... You guys do it for yourselves. β
Yuyin Daoren also left after speaking, and when she came outside the house, she saw Mrs. Shangyuan looking at Yuanfeng silently, she couldn't help but say, "Madam, does Mei'er really have to marry Zichen?" β
Lady Shangyuan nodded, "The bloodline of the 'Sky Fox Clan' is withering day by day, and if it continues like this, it will be swallowed up by other races sooner or later, and the protection of the Demon King is indispensable...... Besides, the marriage has been set a long time ago, and it is a matter of the face of the demon king, and there is no way to regret it no matter what......"
"Is there really no way around it?"
"Unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"Hey, unless the demon king himself agrees to cancel this family business...... But how is this possible, with Mei'er's posture, which man wouldn't be tempted? Zi Chen has been thinking about her for a long time, how could she let the demon king cancel ......"
β¦β¦
Three days later, Ling Ning and Qian Mei'er were ready to set off, and Yuyin Dao saw them off.
"You guys go to Jiuyou this time, be careful and investigate secretly, the situation over there is dark and unclear, if there is anything abnormal, send a letter to me."
"Do as your boss commands."
"By the way, this is a note from Luo Yan to you, his injuries are almost healed, I originally wanted to send it to you...... But he's already in retreat, and this time he's quite serious. β
Ling Ning took the note and opened it, only to see that it read: "You won again this time, I will definitely catch up and come back next time!" Say hello to Mei'er on my behalf and wish you a smooth journey! β
Ling Ning smiled slightly and handed the note to Qian Mei'er, he arched his hand towards Yuyin Daoren: "Thank you, master, then we will set off!" β
"Be careful on the road."
"Hey! Wait! I'm going with you too! β
A figure appeared in front of several people, and it was the woman wearing the blindfold.
Seeing her coming, Yuyin Daoist said helplessly: "It seems that she hasn't been officially introduced to you yet, she is the ...... of the Immortal Dust Continent."
"Hey, hey, I'd better introduce this kind of thing myself." She stretched out her hand and smiled heartily, "My name is Phantom Hime, and I'm the captain of this outing, please advise!" β
Qian Mei'er was dissatisfied: "You woman is really strange, when did we say we were going to take you?" You'd better stay here with Zichen. β
Phantom Ji smiled and said, "Why is the little girl so jealous?" It is customary for a three-person team to act together in the Immortal Dust Continent, and you two fledgling newcomers will obediently obey my orders. β
Qian Mei'er didn't obey her, narrowed her eyes and said, "You mean it's stronger than all of us?" β
Phantom Ji took a moment to say, "I don't mind showing you both hands. β
"Enough!" Yuyin Daoist interrupted the conversation between the two women, "Xiao Ning, you better take her there, she is an idle guy and will only make trouble in the sect...... You're going to have a good journey! Good! Combine! Make! Don't do anything stupid, alright, I'm leaving, you guys are on your way. β
Yuyin Daoist was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and left, leaving only Qian and Ling looking at each other.
Phantom Ji looked at Ling Ning with interest, as if she was very interested in him.
The three of them rode towards the Nine Shadows Evil Sect, the Nine Shadows were in the easternmost part of the Fanchen Continent, and Shui Yuetian was on the westernmost side, and they needed to pass through the Zhongsheng Empire, which was the territory of the Shangqing Sect, and Qian and Ling already had a suspicion with the Shangqing Sect, so this time they must be careful to hide their whereabouts so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Ling Ning was injured, so the three of them were not in a hurry, and they enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the recovery of all things in spring all the way, which was very pleasant.
On the way, the two of them are also familiar with Phantom Ji, don't look at her sexy looks like a big grinning character, but in fact, she is meticulous and experienced, and in her spare time, she told the two of them all kinds of interesting stories about the Xianchen Continent, and the two of them were full of interest. Although Qian Mei'er is also from the Immortal Dust Continent, she has been cultivating in the mountains for a long time, and compared to Phantom Ji, who grew up in a big sect since childhood, her knowledge is not as good as her.
In this way, he walked unhurriedly for a month, and finally left the Xiyue Empire and entered the border of the small country of Zhao.
Zhao is located in the gap between the three empires of Xiyue, Nanxiang and Zhongsheng, originally this area was divided into three or four small countries, and fought endlessly for many years, until a famous general came out a hundred years ago to unify this small country into one country - Zhao.
It was not easy for Zhao to survive in the gap between the three empires, and he was often bullied by the big powers and could not resist. Hearing that the life of the royal family in China was rotten, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the heavy construction and forced labor, which led to the suffering of the people and was finally forced to revolt, the Zhao Wang's division and the rebel army could not hold each other and had been in civil strife.
In the early stage of the war, the rebels had the upper hand and were like a bamboo, but the royal family of Zhao asked for help from the three empires, and the Zhongsheng Empire, the Xiyue Empire, and the Nanxiang Empire all thought that this was a good opportunity to unify the Zhao State, and sent troops to fight one after another.
The war lasted for five years, and the Zhao State was shattered, the people were displaced, the population plummeted, and the people were struggling to make a living. The war between the three empires was deadlocked, and the immortal sects behind each of them did not dare to send troops on a large scale, so they all decided to withdraw from the Zhao State and no longer participate in it.
After that, the imperial family recruited many monks as "mercenaries" to gain the upper hand in the rebellion, but the rebel army launched a "guerrilla war" and the Zhao king's division could not be wiped out, and he suffered heavy losses.
In the seventh year of the war, I heard that a young figure had appeared in the rebel army to lead the rebel army to repeatedly defeat the king's division, and the Zhao's division and the rebel army entered a stalemate.
β¦β¦
Ling Ning and the others lit a bonfire at the foot of the mountain on the border of Zhao to prepare for rest, while Qian and Ling were listening to Phantom Ji tell rumors about the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill.
Phantom Ji said: "The Heaven Devouring Demon Skill has disappeared in the Immortal Dust Continent for thousands of years, and every time this kind of Demon Skill appears in the records, it will be attacked by a group of cultivators from all over the continent, so the cultivators are very low-key. The most serious one in the record was when an evil cultivator devoured all the 1,300 people of the entire sect, and then used the souls of these people to perform a blood sacrifice in an attempt to summon the ancient demon gods, but fortunately, at the last moment, the patriarch-level figures of the five major sects took action together to resolve the catastrophe. β
Qian Mei'er said: "It seems that the inheritor of the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill is not so terrifying, and it all ends in failure, in this case, are there still so many people rushing to practice this exercise?" β
Phantom Ji said: "The world loves to take shortcuts, and after hundreds of years of hard cultivation, but they were surpassed by others, who would go to hard cultivation?" Although the elders in the sect said disdain when they mentioned this exercise, if they really handed it in front of them, they would be tempted by everyone. β
Ling Ning said, "I wonder where this exercise ended up after it last appeared?" β
Phantom Ji said: "It is said that it fell into the hands of the Nine Shadows Evil Sect, of course, no one remembers it after so long. β
Ling Ning said, "Actually, we have encountered cultivators of Demon Skill in the Mortal Dust Continent......
Phantom Ji was surprised: "This magic skill has always appeared in the Immortal Dust Continent, but I didn't expect it to fall into the Mortal Dust Continent?" β
Under her questioning, Ling Ning and Qian Mei'er told them about their encounter with the inheritor of the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill, and after hearing this, Phantom Ji pondered: "It seems that the Demon Skill has reappeared, this matter is not trivial, although the Mortal Dust Continent has the protection of the Xuanyuan Sword Array, nothing can happen, but it must be divested as soon as possible." β
Qian Mei'er said: "Recently, many disciples have disappeared in the range of Jiuyou for no reason, I don't know if there is a connection......
At this time, suddenly there was the sound of chasing and fighting in the mountains, and several people stopped talking when they heard it, and several masters of art boldly discussed it and looked in the direction of the sound.
In the moonlight, a bloodied man galloped on his horse, he had been wounded by an arrow in one arm, and there were many wounds on his body, his body was crumbling on horseback, apparently at the end of his crossbow, and behind him seven or eight soldiers in armor were holding torches aloft and shouting loudly and riding after him.
The officer at the head of the horse struck the man in the ass with a bow and arrow, and the horse neighed in pain and threw the man off the horse, and then ran into the woods and disappeared.
The man, who had been exhausted, fell heavily and almost fainted, and after several attempts, he was unable to stand up on his legs, and had to let the pursuers behind him surround him.
The officer led by the leader took the torch close to the man's face, and after identifying it, he laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's you, Qin Fei!" You thief still want to run! I see where else you can run today! β
"Hey, hey, general, you've made a great contribution this time!"
"That's right, the rebels shouldn't be able to hold up for a few days if they catch this kid!"
"Congratulations General!"
"All of you brothers are heroes! Come on, set up this kid for me, I'm going to cut off his head with my own hands! β
"Yes!"
The two soldiers turned off their horses and set up Qin Fei, and the general also dismounted and slowly pulled out the saber at his waist and raised it high, although the rebel general named Qin Fei wanted to resist but his whole body was already weak, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death as if he was resigned to his fate.
The general smirked and swung his saber!
"Ding!"
"Cang Langlang!"
The saber fell to the ground, and it was not Qin Fei's neck that was broken, but the saber!
The general's mouth burst and blood flowed, and he looked down at a pebble on the ground, and it was this small pebble that had just broken his saber in two!
Everyone present was startled and went around on alert.
The general yelled, "Who the fuck is secretly attacking!" Have the ability to stand up for Lao Tzu! β
At this time, a person slowly walked out of the woods, this person was wearing a gray cloth monk's robe, a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, he put his hands together and the top of his head was bright, he was actually a monk!
"Amitabha! Since this donor has no power to fight back, why don't you let him live? 'Jizo Bodhisattva, if you encounter a person who kills a living person, it is said that the fate is short-lived. I hope you put down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, and don't damage your own blessings! β
When the monk approached the crowd, they saw his face clearly, and saw that his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like stars, and the corners of his mouth were slightly smiling, and he was actually a handsome monk who was as gentle as jade.
The general looked at him and frowned, "What is he talking about?" β
The soldier on the side said: "General, he seems to be cursing us for a short life!" β
The general scolded in a low voice, "Stinky monk, dead bald donkey", and then said, "Monk, what are you?" Where did it come from? β
The handsome monk saluted and said: "The little monk 'one thought' came from the 'Garan Temple'. β
The general thought for a moment and said, "Garan Temple? Haven't heard of it. This person is a prisoner of the imperial court, don't meddle in your affairs! Hurry up and get away! β
"Amitabha! The little monk is not nosy, but for the sake of your benefactors. After death, they will fall into the infernal hell and be tormented, but those who do not kill will be blessed with boundless blessings. The Buddha said: People are compassionate in the world and do not kill, and never kill to obtain the five blessings. What five? First, life expectancy increases; Both, the body is hidden; The three are not harmed by blades, tigers and wolves, and poisonous insects; The ...... of the four Today, I see a hundred-year-old person, all of whom are caused by fate and not killing in the ......'"
The general hadn't spoken yet, but the general next to him couldn't bear it anymore: "What a mess, the stinky monk is crooked, damn it, hurry up and get out of the way!" Otherwise, don't blame the knife in Lao Tzu's hand for being ruthless! β
"This general 'speaketh without mercy, slander and slander, and deceitful, and deplucks out his tongue when he dies.' If the general does not say that he will fall into the hell of pulling out his tongue one day, will it not be too late? 'The Buddha said: People do not slander people in the world, do not curse people with evil mouths, do not speak falsely, and get the five good ......
How could the general be a rough man, how could he understand his tirade, and after getting the eyes of the general next to him was confirmed, he strode forward and picked up his arm, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one or so and opened the bow, "Papa!" After a full fan, the monk had more than a dozen big mouths before he stopped and gasped!
"Stinky monk, dead bald donkey! Look at your! Damn, the stinky monk is so hard-skinned, tired to death......"
Yinian Monk's cheeks were red, but he still kept smiling.
"The donor's words are wrong, and the Buddha said, ......"
Seeing that he was still "chattering", the general waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him surrounded him with a smile.
"Hehe, the little monk has fine skin and tender meat, it just so happens that we haven't settled on dinner yet, so it's better to pull him back and stew him!"
"Hahaha, not bad, this thin skin and tender meat is the same as a little girl, hehe......"
"Oh, are you missing a? Could it be that you are interested in him? Hahaha! β
All the soldiers are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, seeing that this monk does not dare to resist, they are even more unscrupulous, some of them shout and scold and intimidate him with foul language, some touch him with a lewd smile on their faces, and some pat his bald head vigorously as if they were picking watermelons......
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be careful what you say and do...... The Buddha said......"
"Say you're a motherfucker! Hack to death this nosy stinky monk for Lao Tzu! Take it back as dry food! β
"Hahaha! Yes, sir! β
β¦β¦
The general gave an order, and all the soldiers drew their blades and slashed at Yi Nian with a smile!
Seeing that the monk was so weak, the general also began to wonder if there was someone else who had just broken the saber with a pebble, and just as he was looking around, the monk shook violently all over his body, and the green tendons on his head burst out, and at the moment when the blade was about to slash at him, the golden light burst out!
In the strong light, a blue-faced and fanged demon god came out from behind Yinian Monk with a furious anger, and his body was four or five meters high, and his big hand like a giant tripod slapped "Bang!" "The ground fell! Blood splattered in an instant! The soldier in front of him was actually slapped into a puddle of flesh and mud, and he died on the spot before he could even scream!
Everyone was stunned, but this was just the beginning! The enraged demon god conjured up eight Optimus Prime-like arms, opened his bow left and right, and launched a crushing slaughter in the golden light! In a wail of pain, the huge clutches kept slapping, smashing the fleeing soldiers and their horses to pieces! It was like purgatory on earth!
Finally, the thought of blood all over his body came to the general, who was so frightened that he couldn't even say a complete sentence. Yi Nian showed a cruel smile that was completely different from before, ignored the other party's pleading, and slapped it with one palm!
The world seemed to be quiet, only Qin Fei's eyes widened and he looked at the "minced meat" in front of him incredulously, and then he, a man who was used to seeing blood on the battlefield, vomited uncontrollably!
The demon god behind Yi Nian disappeared, and the blood dripped to the ground along his face and the corners of his clothes, and he slowly walked in front of Qin Fei: "Amitabha, they forced the little monk, and the little monk didn't want to kill people...... Why don't they listen to me! Why! Ah, I saved you, why are you looking at me like this? Are you afraid of me? I saved you, why don't you thank me? I see, you look down on me like them...... In that case......
Qin Fei looked at the gradually hideous expression on his face, and he could only rub back desperately, who was already paralyzed on the ground: "No...... No, no! No! No! Thank you for saving me! Thank you! Don't kill me......"
"I don't want to kill either...... The master said I can't do this anymore, but I can't help it! I can't let anyone see me killing! Do you know? I can't let anyone else see it! So...... So can you die? You can rest assured that I will be soon, and you promise that you will not feel pain...... Hey...... Hey hey ......"
A thought raised his palm high and was about to fall!
"Demon monk, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Yi Nian stopped the falling palm and turned his head to look, only to see three people standing not far away, it was Phantom Ji who spoke, Qian and Ling looked at him with disgust, obviously not believing that a monk could have such cruel methods.
"I ...... I said I don't want to kill! Why are you pushing me...... No way...... I can only kill you all! β
