Chapter 286: Xiao Yan's End
Inside the temple, a piece of gold is splendid, and on the walls around it, are images of various giant snakes, either roaring to the sky, or intertwined, and in the center of the temple is a statue of the mother of all serpents.
Xiao Yan looked up, but what he saw was a divine and majestic figure with a face that could not be seen clearly, with a giant snake on his feet, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a thin veil.
His eyes tingled slightly, and a line of tears flowed down, making him unconsciously lower his head.
"Haha, the gods are not to be looked at, we need to worship the gods with a sincere heart."
The vicissitudes of life sounded again with a gentle voice, and under the statue stood a thin old man with a kind face.
"I've seen Lord Bishop." Lin Rui saluted the man, and Xiao Yan hurriedly followed suit when he saw this.
"You're Xiao Yan, that's good." The bishop shook his head for a while, and his face looked approving.
Regarding Xiao Yan's news, after investigation, he found that it could not be understood by common sense at all.
In the face of the pursuit of the Black Oblivion Army, he actually escaped death several times and defeated the strong with the weak, even the Dou Huang failed to catch him, and the Dou Zong sent out didn't even touch his hair, you must know that it was the elite Black Oblivion Army of the ancient clan, everyone inside was a genius outside, and the cultivation was also the top exercises and fighting skills.
It can only be said that this kid is really weirdly tight.
But it's not good for him to take the initiative to ask for help from the green man, if he needs the Pope to take action to catch a small fighting spirit, doesn't that mean that there is no one on his side?
So the bishop simply put up this big array, and directly transferred the two teams of Templars stationed in the church, plus Lin Rui, a total of three Douhuang, twenty Dou Wang, and himself, a strong man of the Dou Sect, pressed the formation, and he was the first to yin, so he didn't believe that he could let this guy run away.
Xiao Yan only regarded it as a compliment, touched the back of his head, and showed an innocent smile, "Lord Bishop has praised it falsely. β
"Hehe, whether it's a lie or not, I know." The bishop waved his hand and straightened up, "Now begin your initiation ceremony." β
His expression suddenly became solemn, and Lin Rui stepped aside at some point.
"To the snake mother, there is a believer Xiao Yan today...... Sincerity and benevolence...... Templar ,...... the Templar Sect," the bishop prayed to the statue of the Mother of Ten Thousand Serpents before standing up and turning his head to look at Xiao Yan.
"Worship the Mother of Snakes!" The bishop stood on the right side of the statue and shouted majestically at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan hesitated, but only bowed slightly.
He is a dignified traverser, heaven and earth do not kneel, and he will definitely be an invincible figure in the world, how can he kneel to an indigenous god.
At this time, he always has an inexplicable self-confidence, even in the face of this kind of strong man who can crush himself to death with one finger, he doesn't care at all.
"Xiao Yan." Lin Rui seemed to be a little anxious, and shouted softly at Xiao Yan.
But Xiao Yan's legs were still straight, and he didn't mean to kneel.
"That's it." The bishop raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to relieve the siege: "Xiao Yan just hasn't felt the greatness of my lord yet, it's understandable, it's okay." β
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he didn't want to fall out with the Ten Thousand Snakes Church like this.
"Drink holy water!" Then, a priest took out a jade plate from the rear altar and handed it to the bishop, who walked towards Xiao Yan with the jade plate, on which was a delicate jade cup with snake patterns, which seemed to be made of high-quality mutton fat jade, and there was some green liquid in it, which looked as translucent as clear water.
Xiao Yan took the jade cup, looked at the liquid inside, cautious as him, first sensed it with the power of his soul, and then leaned close to the tip of his nose to smell it, only feeling that his body was comfortable for a while.
Well, confirmed, it's not a poison, it should be some ingredient that is beneficial to the human body, some kind of tonic.
His teacher was a Dan Dao master, and he was still confident in his ability to distinguish poisons.
But it's a pity to drink it like this, if it can be refined into an elixir, it should have a better effect, Xiao Yan thought.
The bishop's expression remained unchanged when he looked at this scene, if this was really a religion, it would naturally be a great disrespect to the Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes, but he didn't really want to accept Xiao Yan, and he would naturally have Xiao Yan's good looks later.
After confirming that there was no problem, Xiao Yan picked up the jade cup and drank it all.
"Thank you, Bishop." When he had finished drinking, he put the cup back on the tray and arched his hand again to the bishop.
"Very good, Xiao Yan, only one last step is left." A smile appeared on the bishop's face, and Xiao Yan didn't know why, so he also laughed.
Suddenly, there was a flower in front of him, hey, how come there are two bishops?
He immediately woke up, and with a sigh in his heart, he was about to retreat, but his steps were so weak that he almost fell to the ground.
"How, how?"
He looked at the rickety world in front of him, full of disbelief.
Apparently he had probed for not poison.
Everything around him began to become foggy, and the drowsiness in his head became more and more intense, Xiao Yan looked at Lin Rui unwillingly, and then at the bishop, and asked angrily: "Why! β
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, if you want to blame, blame you for throwing yourself into the net." A sneer appeared on the bishop's face.
"Hmph, the people of the Soul Palace, everyone will be punished." Xiao Yan's eldest brother Lin said even more indifferently, he still has a grudge against the Soul Palace, and one of his alchemist friends was harmed by the Soul Palace, and he naturally can't wait to get rid of this kind of Soul Palace's remnants.
"Damn it!" Xiao Yan bit his tongue, and a sharp pain came out of his mouth, making him barely cheer up, "You guys are in the same group as the Black Oblivion Army?" β
The bishop smiled and did not answer the question, but said faintly, "Have you checked and found that it is not poisonous?" Tsk, my "holy water" is not a poison, but a good tonic, which can make people recover from injuries and replenish the essence and blood vitality of the human body, but in this process, because of the domineering effect of the medicine, it will cause people to be drowsy, even the emperor can't resist this kind of sleepiness, of course you can't detect it. β
As soon as he finished speaking, the bishop slapped his brain, what's going on, why is he talking so much today, obviously the Yin people used to be directly beaten to death, and they never said much.
"Take him down for me." Reacting, the bishop did not delay, and ordered to Lin Rui.
Xiao Yan's heart suddenly became anxious, the sleepiness in his brain was almost irresistible, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and his eyes were already hazy, as if he was about to close in the next moment.
"No, you can't sleep, it's completely over when you sleep." Xiao Yan turned his slightly dull brain and began to think about countermeasures.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, a tonic for essence and blood vitality?
Doesn't his Blood Escape Technique just consume essence and blood vitality?
Immediately, he couldn't care about anything else, so he could only choose a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
I saw a blood light flash from his body, making the sleepiness in his head dissipate a little in an instant, and the energy in his body suddenly filled.
Effective!
Xiao Yan was overjoyed.
At this time, Lin Rui had already stepped forward to arrest him, Xiao Yan did not hesitate, and made a push palm, this palm hit his unprecedented peak level, and Lin Rui, who was too late to react, pushed him out with a palm.
Then he turned into a stream of blood and ran quickly towards the outside of the temple.
He knew that he was no match for the bishop, and that the only way to survive now was to escape.
"Take him down for me!" The bishop's face was a little unbearable, so that Xiao Yan still had the strength to resist.
Lin Rui, who was pushed away, immediately urged Dou Qi to chase after him, after all, he was the Dou Huang, and the blow just now couldn't cause him any damage.
The bishop looked at Xiao Yan's figure with a gloomy face.
Hey, no, why don't I do it myself?
He suddenly reacted, and immediately chased towards the door in a flash.
And outside, Xiao Yan had actually escaped from the encirclement of the Templars at the door, and with the help of the powerful "holy water", the Blood Escape Technique seemed to have some kind of reaction, and his current speed was actually not inferior to those Douhuang who were good at speed, even the speed of ordinary Douzong was not as good as it.
It just so happened that this bishop was the kind of ordinary Dou Zong.
"A bunch of rubbish!" The bishop shouted angrily at the Templars, and wanted to continue chasing, but he could only watch Xiao Yan get farther and farther away.
"Hahaha." Seeing the exit of the church, which was already close at a foot in the distance, Xiao Yan suddenly laughed, "Lin Rui, the Ten Thousand Snakes Church, today's humiliation, I, Xiao Yan, remember it, and ...... in the future." No way. β
Peng!
Xiao Yan fell to the ground, and a moment before he fell unconscious, he saw a woman in a green dress.
"Useless stuff." Green Man glanced at the bishop, but he was also afraid for a while.
Just now, she actually became a little interested in this Xiao Yan, she didn't want to make a move, she wanted to stay and observe it first to see where he could go, if it wasn't for the fact that a contract phantom emitting golden light appeared in her mind at the critical moment, and woke her up in time, maybe she would really let this Xiao Yan run away.
This kid is really weird.
As everyone knows, this is the influence of Xiao Yan's huge luck, he can always survive in death, if it weren't for Xiao Yan's current destiny has been taken away by Xun'er, and his luck has been consumed a lot, I'm afraid that a few people will not even be able to wake up, and they will directly become the kind of little villain who has no IQ.
"Yes, it is the subordinates who are not doing their jobs well, and I hope that the Pope will forgive them."
The old boy of the bishop immediately admitted his guilt with a bitter face, there was no way, he didn't know why he suddenly became so sluggish today, and he almost missed even a grappling spirit.
"That's it, although you are not effective, but after all, you have made meritorious contributions to the mission, and your merits and demerits are offset, so I will not remember your sins this time." Lu Man glanced at Xiao Yan, who fell to the ground, and knew that this guy was different from ordinary people, and even he was almost affected, so he didn't hold on to the bishop anymore.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The bishop was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
"This guy is too weird, let's abolish his dantian tendons first, and break the tendons and tendons of his hands and feet." Lu Man kicked Xiao Yan's head and said.
"Yes." Immediately, two Templars walked up and prepared to make a move on Xiao Yan.
"Wait, let's break all limbs, or I'm afraid there will be an accident." Midoriman spoke again.
This is what Qing Liang personally ordered, she doesn't want to make any more moths, anyway, the Jade Emperor also said that she can be punished how she should be executed, as long as she leaves a breath and sends it to the Xiao family.
"Yes." The Templars, though puzzled, continued to follow the Green Barbarian's words.
"Let the old man come too." The bishop looked at Xiao Yan gloomily, his future was almost ruined by this person, so he had to concoct it well.
"Ahh β¦β¦ Yes! β
In short, next, the screams in the church of the Ten Thousand Snakes Church in Tianyang City were endless, Xiao Yan woke up and dizzy in confusion, fainted and woke up, and the whole person was almost tortured to the point of mental breakdown.
As for his limbs, they had become noodle-shaped, and in order to vent his anger, the bishop directly overfulfilled the task, broke the bones of his limbs, and helped Xiao Yan deal with the fifth limb by the way.
In the end, after making a move, I was afraid that Xiao Yan would accidentally swallow my breath, so I deliberately checked it, but I didn't expect this kid's life to be harder than he imagined, and his fighting spirit and limbs were wasted, and he actually left half a life.
β¦β¦
The cold wind was biting, and the slightest chill invaded.
When Xiao Yan woke up again, he was already lying at the gate of Xiao's house.
Because it was the middle of the night, no one had noticed him for a while.
He wailed at the gate of the Xiao family for a long time, and was only discovered by the Xiao family's porter when the sky was slightly bright.
"Zhuo, who is so immoral, actually throwing the dead in front of my Xiao family, do you want to live." The porter looked around, snorted angrily, and lifted Xiao Yan's leg to prepare to drag Xiao Yan away.
"Cough, wait, wait, I'm Xiao Yan!"
Xiao Yan hurriedly spoke, his voice was extremely hoarse, like a rusty piece of iron scraping the skin of the wall.
"Corpse! No, not dead yet. The door looked at the almost inhumanoid figure in his hand, and suddenly reacted, "Wait, who did you just say?" β
"I, I'm Xiao Yan! Ahem. Xiao Yan said a word and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You are the third young master Xiao Yan!" The porter was shocked, knelt on the ground and said sharply: "Third Young Master, what's wrong with you!" β
The sound was so loud that it directly penetrated a street, and some of the people on the street who had just woken up couldn't help but go out or open their windows to check, and then they saw the miserable piece of Xiao Yan, and immediately whispered.
"Ahem, quick, get me in." Xiao Yan's pale face turned red, and he wished he would die on the spot, so as not to face the pain of onlookers.
He used to be a figure with a head and a face, and he was pointed at by so many people when he saw his ugliness, how could he stand it.
"Okay, young master Xiao Yan, don't worry." The porter mentioned Xiao Yan's identity again, and then picked up Xiao Yan and ran towards the courtyard, touching Xiao Yan's wound on the way, causing his facial features to twitch.
"It turns out that it's Xiao Yan." In the neighborhood, one person recognized Xiao Yan's identity.
"Who is Xiao Yan, and is he also from the Xiao family?" Someone asked.
"Of course, haven't you heard, that is the former third young master of the Xiao family, the third young master of the Xiao family, the third master of the Xiao family, it is said that he was also a genius in the past, and he finally got the divine pill to recover his talent, but he didn't expect it to be abolished again."
"Hehe, what's the pity, you don't know yet, this Xiao Yan is a person from the Soul Palace, do you know the Soul Palace?" A well-informed man who often travels abroad for business scoffs.
With the wanted of the ancient clan, the reputation of the soul hall has grown all over the mainland, but it is all notoriety, it can be called notorious, there is no way, just the one that catches the soul everywhere makes many people unbearable, coupled with the propaganda of the ancient clan, the soul hall has become synonymous with the underworld forces.
"Tsk, I see, I really deserve it!"
"Yes, you deserve it! My second sister's neighbor's child is missing, I think it was the soul hall that did it, and Xiao Yan can't get rid of it. β
"Why don't you die?"
β¦β¦
Xiao Yan's return caused some movement in the Xiao family, but it was not as big as imagined.
The original patriarch Xiao Zhan's lineage has declined, although Xiao Yu led the Xiao family to glory, but the resources in Xiao Yu's hands are not endless, of course she chooses to cultivate her own close clansmen first, such as her grandfather and brother and a few cousins and cousins, and then other clansmen with better talents.
It just so happened that in addition to Xiao Yan, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's talents are actually very average, not as good as Xiao Mei.
Now although the Xiao family only has Xiao Yu as a pillar, there are also a few more fighting spirits, such as Xiao Yu's grandfather was forcibly promoted to the fighting spirit by her with resources, but Xiao Zhan still has only one big fighting master in Xiao Zhan's vein, which is not a climate.
Originally, they regarded Xiao Yan as a hope to turn over, hoping that Xiao Yan would come back and regain the banner of their lineage, but they didn't expect Xiao Yan to come back, but he became a real waste.
When Xiao Zhan saw Xiao Yan's miserable appearance, he immediately vomited blood and fainted on the ground, and when he woke up again, a middle-aged man had already become full of gray hair and his face was withered.
And Xiao Yan, except for Xiao Yu at the beginning, after giving people condolences, only Xiao Zhan and Xiao Ding and Xiao Li occasionally came to visit, and the other clansmen seemed to have completely forgotten that there was such a person.
Today, however, is different.
In a dimly lit room,
"Brother Xiao Yan." A voice as crisp as a yellow oriole sounded, and Xiao Yan, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but turn his head, and saw a beautiful and moving woman walking over with a medicine bowl.
It turned out to be Xiao Mei, and Xiao Yan's eyes showed two more points of brilliance.
"Mei'er, me." He wanted to move, but apart from the fact that his head could still turn, there was no place in his body to obey the call, which made his expression darken again.
yes, he's already a wreck.
"Brother Xiao Yan, don't move, let me come over." Xiao Meiqiao sat on the edge of the bed with the medicine bowl and looked at her fiancΓ©.
That's right, Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei have a marriage contract, which was set by Xiao Zhan before Xiao Yan was ready to travel after recovering his talent.
"Brother Xiao Yan, it's time to drink medicine."
Xiao Mei gently scooped up a spoonful of decoction, blew lightly, and then handed it to Xiao Yan's mouth.
"Mei'er." Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly flowed with tears of emotion.
I didn't expect that I would look like this, Xiao Mei still never gave up, this friendship made a few rays of sunshine shine into his disgraced heart.
"Brother Xiao Yan, drink quickly." Xiao Mei handed it forward again, "Drink it quickly." β
"Drink, I'll drink." Xiao Yan opened his mouth, his eyes full of tenderness.
If you have a wife, what more can the husband ask for?
