Chapter 16: The Dust Settles
Half a day later, the sun scorched the earth, and a group of pedestrians dressed as Taoist priests appeared on the road leading to Ping'an County.
On the side of the road, a small teahouse was opening its doors to welcome guests, and bowls of tea were placed on the wooden table, which made the young disciples of Jinhua Mountain who had walked all the way couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Master, why don't we take a rest first?" a young disciple asked cautiously as he looked at the purple-robed Taoist priest.
With this question, all the young disciples immediately stopped and cast their hopeful glances at the purple-robed Taoist priest. In this hot weather, it is the greatest enjoyment to be able to drink a bowl of tea.
The purple-robed Taoist priest's face sank slightly, and he was about to reprimand, after all, it was the right thing to hurry back to the mountain, but after seeing the tired expressions of each disciple, his heart moved slightly, and then he waved his hand a little helplessly: "Okay, rest for a stick of incense, and then set off." β
"Yes. Immediately, the children cheered and ran to the teahouse, while the two more intimate disciples carefully supported the purple-robed Taoist priest to sit down carefully on a wooden bench in the teahouse. Just like everyone else, he knocked on the table and urged the store loudly: "Boss, boss, hurry up and serve tea, your tea money is indispensable." β
"Yes, yes. The owner of the teahouse was silent, usually wiping his sweat while preparing tea, but because of his nervousness, he almost knocked over the tea bowl several times.
The group of disciples suddenly couldn't stand it anymore, pouted and said, "Boss, are you guilty of swine fever or what's wrong, it's so troublesome to serve tea." β
"Come now, come right away. The owner of the teahouse said in a loud voice, but became more scrambling.
A few children who couldn't wait were about to step forward to get the tea directly, and the teahouse owner's hand shook, and immediately a tea bowl fell from the table, and it was about to be shattered.
But in the end, there was no sound of breaking, and a hand suddenly reached out, grabbed the tea bowl from mid-air, and placed it firmly in a wooden plate. After that, he moved the tea bowls on the table one by one to the wooden plate, lowered his eyebrows and said to the teahouse owner: "Uncle, you are old, I will do this job." β
As he spoke, the young man who appeared turned around and walked towards the table where the Taoist priests were sitting with the tea bowl on the wooden plate.
Seeing this scene, the few children who were anxious to get their own tea just now sat down again and waited for the service of this young junior. Xiao Er lowered his head and approached quickly, and the young disciple had already turned his attention away, looked at his companion, and then began to talk in a low voice.
"What kind of magic weapon did you say yesterday's Uncle Shi used to defeat that thousand-year-old demon. β
"It should be the demon slaying sword in our mountain, using Xiling's sharp gold to refine, you can gather golden vitality, and the power of slaying demons and demons is full. β
"Alas, I don't know when I will be able to take such a treasure like Master. β
"Dream, there are not many treasures like that in the entire Jinhua Mountain, and you still want to be able to get them. β
"Don't look down on people, maybe one day, I'll get it. β
The young shopkeeper approached the wooden table and began to bring down the tea bowls on the wooden plate one by one, and distributed them to the young disciples who were doing it. Then while parting, he naturally moved towards the purple-robed Taoist priest sitting at the corner of the table.
At this moment, the two most intimate young disciples who were guarding the purple-robed Taoist priest relaxed their vigilance, and they picked up the tea on the table and were about to drink it. And the shopkeeper took a step further, picked up the last bowl of tea and sent it to the purple-robed Taoist priest.
The shopkeeper in the corner of the teahouse, looking at this scene, his face oozed a lot of sweat. His face turned pale, and his hand couldn't help but grab the counter, making a slight "click" sound.
The purple-robed Taoist priest seemed to notice something, and looked towards the shopkeeper with a bit of inspection, and then at this time, the tea bowl in the shopkeeper's second-hand hand was suddenly raised.
With a "poof", the tea inside splashed, the wooden plate shattered, and a sharp short dagger appeared, stabbing the purple-robed Taoist priest.
Between breaths, all of Sun Li's muscles tensed together, and all his strength exploded together, holding the dagger and stabbing fiercely at the purple-robed Taoist priest.
"Bang bang bang", the muffled sound was like a drum, and it sounded continuously, and he was about to stab the purple-robed Taoist priest to death here, but Sun Li's face suddenly changed solemnly.
I saw a light mask quickly emerge from the purple-robed Taoist priest's side, mercilessly blocking all his attacks.
Magic Weaponγ»Nine Candles Ruyi Cover!
Sun Li gritted his teeth, stabbed again, and stabbed twenty more blows between breaths, but it was useless at all, just a few ripples on the light mask.
At this time, the young disciples who had reacted had already drawn their swords and surrounded them, and the purple-robed Taoist priest also regained his composure, and quickly reached out to grab the dust on the table.
Sun Li's eyes flickered slightly, then he gritted his teeth fiercely, turned around quickly, and fled towards the outside of the teahouse.
"Master, Master, what should I do?" asked the disciples who came over with red eyes.
And the purple-robed Taoist snorted lightly, looked at Sun Li's fleeing back and said coldly: "What else can I do? That thousand-year-old tree demon has been cleaned up by me, are you still afraid of a few little demons under her?" Since you are here, then stay and chase after me!"
"Yes!" The disciples who understood that they had come over took the order, and quickly rushed out of the teahouse and chased in the direction of Sun Li's escape outside.
Then the purple-robed Taoist priest stood up with the support of two intimate disciples, followed behind, and chased after him.
It's just that just as he was about to chase out of the teahouse, the purple-robed Taoist priest turned his head suddenly, looked at the teahouse owner who was shrunk into a ball in the corner, and asked coldly: "You colluded with that demon to murder the poor Dao?"
"No, no, I was forced, Dao Ye spared his life. The owner of the teahouse was so excited that he knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
The purple-robed Taoist priest shook his head with a little disgust, and then walked out, without saying anything, just casually drawing his finger behind him. In an instant, a jumping character appeared in mid-air, and then crashed into the teahouse with a roar.
With a "boom", an explosion sounded, and a ball of flames enveloped the entire teahouse.
"Hmph, it's not a pity to help the abuse, and it's not a pity to die. The purple-robed Taoist priest commented lightly, and then with the support of the two intimate disciples, he continued to chase after Sun Li.
"Huhu", Sun Li, who was running in front, gasped for breath, and his body had become scarred.
But Sun Li didn't stop at all, he just ran forward vigorously, and more than a dozen zhang behind him, there were four or five young disciples hanging tightly, constantly throwing runes to attack.
"Demon, suffer death!" Saying this, one of the disciples took out a burst of pale red talisman paper and threw it.
The rune paper spontaneously combusted without fire, quickly turning into ashes, and then a large, viscous flame emerged from the ashes and slammed into it.
Sun Li's face tightened, and the next moment he jumped forward, and the flames flew over his scalp.
With a "boom", the flames burst out, turning into a splash of 100,000 sparks, and a few sparks fell on Sun Li's bare skin, and suddenly turned black.
Fire Burst Charm!
Sun Li frowned slightly, but his footpace did not decrease at all, and he continued to run wildly.
"Hmph, you'll run!" another disciple shouted, and then a gust of yellowish rune paper was thrown, turning into a bolt of lightning and slashing at it.
The lightning was unimaginably fast, almost instantly, it crossed the limit of space, arrived in front of Sun Li, and then hit.
Lightning Charm!
Sun Li snorted, his body flew out directly, and he fell heavily to the ground. But it was only a slight pause, and the next moment, as if he had not been struck by lightning, he quickly got up and continued to run forward.
The children who chased after were stunned, and said in disbelief: "How is this possible, after being attacked by all the lightning charms, there is nothing going on?"
Sun Li, who was running in front, heard this, but he smiled bitterly, saying that it was impossible to do nothing, at least his internal organs were displaced by the thunder. Although most of the power of the thunder and lightning was absorbed by his own body, there was still a small part that could not withstand it and was discharged to the surface of the skin, paralyzing his whole body slightly.
Sun Li understood that this should be his special body, which has a certain limit to resist thunder and lightning, and beyond that, it will not work. Therefore, it is okay to deal with this lightning talisman yourself, but you have to be careful when facing a more advanced thunder talisman.
Thinking of this, Sun Li's speed increased again.
The children who chased after him scolded angrily, and after scolding, they were full of reluctance to take out a piece of rune paper with a silver glow from their arms.
"Stay!" an older disciple shouted with a solemn gaze, and then threw it at Sun Li, who had already run out of more than twenty zhang, and the next moment he heard a "bang", the silver rune paper shattered like porcelain, and a white light rushed out.
Sun Li, who was running, only felt a chill all over his body, and then the monstrous sword intent suddenly exploded, and when he looked back, he saw a sword light running through the entire heaven and earth.
Suddenly, the heavens and the earth were stunned, the world was cold, and the scorching heat turned into a harsh winter, chilling the whole world.
The sword qi spans 30,000 miles, and one sword light chills nineteen continents!
At this moment, Sun Li felt an extremely fierce and cold sword qi shooting towards him, unable to dodge, let alone resist.
Earth Silver Talisman: Cold Sword Kill!
The rune paper, which is obviously a notch higher, sends out an attack that is absolutely beyond imagination.
Sun Li gritted his teeth and desperately flashed to the side, but in the end, he still watched as the sword qi swept past his side ribs.
With a "poof", blood splattered, directly staining the clothes, and at the same time, a layer of hoarfrost quickly spread to the whole body.
Sun Li was in pain, his face turned pale, and his body shook and fell to the ground.
"Okay, he can't do it, catch him quickly and kill him!" Immediately, the young disciples rushed towards Sun Li.
But Sun Li mustered up his last strength, stood up with difficulty, and then covered his wounds and continued to flee step by step towards the distance.
"Hmph, I'll see how far you can run!" several young disciples sneered, and then followed unhurriedly, chasing after Sun Li like teasing.
But Sun Li seemed to be completely invisible, kept running, and then stumbled into a narrow valley.
Several children glanced at each other, and then chased after them without hesitation.
After that, the other disciples also followed, and finally all of them chased Sun Li into the valley together.
And after half a ring, Sun Li, who ran into the valley, seemed to accept his fate, and finally gave up and ran away, looking at the group, his face was calm.
"Huh?" Several disciples felt a little uncomfortable, and they were about to kill Sun Li a few zhang away with their swords, but at this time, a cough sounded, and the purple-robed Taoist priest also chased after him.
"Master, that demon has no way to escape, kill him!" the disciples petitioned.
"Wait a minute. The purple-robed Taoist priest shook his head slightly, looked at Sun Li with a little curiosity, and asked, "I'm very strange, how dare you attack me, who gave you such courage." Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Huh. Sun Li smiled slightly, looking at the purple-robed Taoist priest without speaking.
The purple-robed Taoist priest's face darkened slightly, and he said sharply: "Demon, the poor Dao asked you, and you don't want to recruit from the truth, otherwise I will let you taste the pain of peeling and cramping." β
"Huh. Sun Li smiled even brighter, glanced at all the disciples and purple-robed Taoist priests seriously, and then spoke: "Actually, I'm more curious, who gave all of you the courage to dare to chase all the way, haven't you heard the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing?"
"Huh?" The purple-robed Taoist priest's face changed slightly, but after half a sound, he laughed, "Boy, I'm not afraid of deception, unless a thousand stones fall from the sky today and smash me to death here, no one will be able to save you." As he spoke, the purple-robed Taoist priest had already approached step by step with a whisk.
But Sun Li sighed at this time, and then looked at the purple-robed Taoist priest who approached with an expressionless face and said, "Actually, I really let you say it." β
"Hmm, what?" the purple-robed Taoist priest frowned slightly, and then the next moment he seemed to think of something, and suddenly raised his head to look up, and then saw that the sky was dark.
"Boom," the valley roared, and then thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of stones slammed down.
At this moment, heaven and earth are mallets, and mountains and rivers become drums.
At this moment, the sun and the moon are on the shelf, and Kyushu is paving.
With a hammer strike, the sound shook all over the world and resounded in all directions!
The double frame trembled lightly, shaking the common people and terrifying everything!
The mountain, at this very moment, collapsed......
With just one breath, hundreds of thousands of catties of stones and dirt fell from the top of the valley frantically, and then buried the purple-robed Taoist priest and all the young disciples alive below.
With a final "bang", the dust settled.
