Chapter 365: The road ahead is boundless
No matter how stupid these people are, they are afraid that they have guessed something at this moment, so they frown deeper one by one.
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Lord Zhao Zhuang came just in time, this female ghost has been caught, Lord Zhao Zhuang looks at this reward ......."
That Zhao Zhuang owner actually put on a smiling face at this moment, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, but I don't know where the female ghost is now?" ”
Li Xiuping directly took out the copper bowl, and then tapped his fingers on the copper bowl, and the female ghost resurfaced, but she was imprisoned by countless golden runes, unable to move, let alone break free.
Li Xiuping continued: "This female ghost is really difficult to deal with, no wonder Master Zhao Zhuang is obviously a cultivator, but he still has to find a helper from the outside to deal with it." ”
The Zhao Zhuang owner's face was a little ugly, and he said with a smile: "Fortunately, I finally caught it." ”
said that, he directly took out thirty gold and threw it to Li Xiuping.
Without Li Xiuping's move, the "Fire Spirit Zhenren" caught the thirty gold.
Li Xiuping asked with a smile: "Thirty gold can't buy a demon who has always had the peak of the Jindan period. ”
The owner of the Zhao Zhuang frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Li Xiuping asked with a smile, "Doesn't Lord Zhao want to take back this evil ghost?" To this extent, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of resources, and if you want to get it back for thirty gold, it will definitely not work. Of course, Zhao Zhuang mainly didn't want to take it back, but he didn't mind taking it with him. ”
The owner of Zhao Zhuang glanced at everyone and frowned, "I don't understand what you're talking about. ”
Li Xiuping smiled slightly, and then said: "It's not interesting to talk like this, the evil ghost that the owner of Zhao Zhuang can't deal with himself, but let so many people whose cultivation is not as good as yours deal with it, this is not reasonable, unless the owner of the Zhao village doesn't want to deal with this evil ghost in the first place." It would be even stranger if he didn't want to deal with it, but he offered rewards everywhere and let countless monks enter this Lotus Town, unless it was Lord Zhao Zhuang who had some other purpose. ”
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Li Xiuping continued: "I heard that there is a kind of ghost cultivation in the world, which specializes in captive ghost things, and then relies on ghost things to suck people's soul essence, and then uses ghost things to supplement their own cultivation. ”
"For monks, they can make money and earn fame, so they will naturally not refuse, and in this way, even if there are monks who continue to fall here, it will not arouse suspicion, others will only think that the ghosts here are too powerful, which will naturally attract more monks who want to gain fame, especially those who are scattered cultivators. And the rivers and lakes have no backing background, even if they die here, no one will care, and naturally no one will come to investigate. ”
He looked at the Zhao Zhuang Master and said with a smile: "To be able to think of this trick, I have to say that Zhao Zhuang is really shrewd, but although this method is effective, it also has a lot of risks, such as attracting disciples from the sect, it is likely to expose the identity of Zhao Zhuang Zhuang's ghost cultivator, and what can make Zhao Zhuang Zhuang so reckless, I'm afraid there is only one explanation, that is, Zhao Zhuang should break through the realm in the near future, so he will take this risk." ”
On the entire long street, there was an uproar, and everyone looked at the owner of Zhao Zhuang.
That Zhao Zhuang Master suddenly laughed at this moment, and said: "I underestimated you, not only can you subdue a ghost general with the peak strength of the Jindan Period, but also guess so much, since this is the case, then you can't be left behind, and today it will all become the help of this breakthrough." ”
With that, he raised his hand and pressed it, and blood-red runes suddenly lit up on the entire long street, and then continued to extend out, and soon spread throughout the entire Lotus Township.
Looking at the runes that kept lit up, Li Xiuping frowned slightly, he didn't expect that the other party had already arranged the entire Lotus Town into a big array, but this is not difficult to understand, after all, this person has been operating in this Lotus Town for so many years, and he must have left some behind, and this formation is just one of them.
Li Xiuping doesn't know much about the formation, and the ghost path formation has never been contacted, but he doesn't care much, in the final analysis, the other party is just a Yuan Infant stage monk, no matter how powerful the formation is, in front of a combined period sword cultivator, it can't form any threat, whether it's the ghost path or the immortal way, when the time comes, directly give him a sword to break ten thousand methods.
Of course, the opening of such a formation will definitely cause a lot of casualties, not to mention the monks who came to hunt ghosts around them, there are still hundreds of people in the entire Lotus Township, and I am afraid that they will all be affected at that time.
Li Xiuping smiled and asked, "Isn't Lord Zhao Zhuang curious, how did he guess all this?" ”
The owner of Zhao Zhuang said coldly: "I really want to hear it." ”
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "It's actually very simple, when we first met Lord Zhao, we saw at a glance that Lord Zhao's realm cultivation was good, but the breath was different from that of people who cultivated immortals, plus Lord Zhao Zhuang obviously had Yuan Infant Stage cultivation, but he had to find someone from the outside to deal with a ghost thing, a radius of thousands of miles, not to mention the strong man in the God Transformation Period, the strong man in the Yuan Infant Stage could count it with both hands, so the ghost things that Lord Zhao Zhuang couldn't deal with by himself, naturally no one could deal with it, so Master Zhao Zhuang did this for the purpose of naturally having only one, That is to say, as I said before, the nearby monks were brought in turn, killed one by one, and helped Lord Zhao Zhuang break through the realm in turn. ”
He looked at the Zhao Zhuang Master and said with a smile: "Since we can see the details of Zhao Zhuang at a glance, Zhao Zhuang thinks that these methods of yours can threaten us?" ”
That Zhao Zhuang master was stunned for a moment, obviously Li Xiuping said very reasonably, since these people can see through everything about him at a glance, it means that among these people, at least one of them has a realm cultivation far above him, that is, above the god transformation stage.
In the face of a strong man in the Transformation Stage or even the Distraction Period, any resistance he may have is indeed in vain.
The Zhao Zhuang owner sneered: "Even if this seat gives up resistance, can you let me go?" ”
Li Xiuping shook his head directly and said, "That's naturally impossible." ”
The owner of Zhao Zhuang didn't seem to expect Li Xiuping to answer so firmly, he didn't even bother to delay, and then smiled sadly and said: "Since this is the case, it is dead anyway, so this seat will be buried with you." ”
After speaking, he quickly sealed his hands and said coldly: "Ten Thousand Ghost Array, open it for me!" ”
The words fell, and those blood-red runes flowed directly like blood and water.
On the ground, clumps of black gas continued to appear, and they were skulls with black gas.
After these skulls appeared, they continued to float in the sky above Lotus Township, and for a while the sky was dark and lifeless, and all kinds of terrible wails continued to come out, making people's scalps tingle.
Li Xiuping looked at those skulls and said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, it has something to do with the demon clan." ”
He continued: "Senior. ”
The Qing Ming monk nodded, the sword intent around his body surged, and then the immortal sword Qing Ming on his back came out of the sheath on his own, and a sword qi suddenly soared into the sky. Where the sword qi passed, those skeletons dodged in a panic, and they didn't dare to approach at all.
After the fairy sword Qingming rushed up to the sea of clouds, the sword qi exploded instantly, and then turned into a long sword in the sky, gargling and falling, and the sword rain directly enveloped the entire Lotus Township.
Under the dense attack of those sword rains, those skeletons could not be avoided, and they were all nailed to the ground in an instant, and then directly dispersed by the sword qi.
"Immortal Sword Qingming! You are one of the Eight Sages, the Immortal Monk! ”
The Zhao Zhuang Lord's face changed drastically and he exclaimed.
The Qingming monk said indifferently: "The eyesight is not bad. ”
The owner of Zhao Zhuang looked at Li Xiuping again, and then asked, "Then you should be Li Xiuping." ”
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "It seems that you know a lot." What do you think? Still want to resist? ”
Determining the identity of Li Xiuping and others, the owner of Zhao Zhuang seemed to suddenly wilt, and he directly gave up resisting, and his whole body fell directly to the ground.
Qingming layman, one of the eight sages, a strong man in the merger period.
Li Xiuping, although he only cultivated in the foundation building period, but in the past few years, the entire cultivation world has almost all been rumors related to him, what is the killing of the god transformation period, the battle of the distraction period, it is commonplace, and even the demon fire spirit real person died under his sword, and the stargazing tower, one of the seven holy places that is deeply involved with the demon race, has suffered heavy losses because of him, and it is even rumored that even the demon venerable of the demon clan has personally taken action, but he still failed to kill him, but only hit him hard.
Now it seems that the injuries on this young man's body should have been caused by that Demon Venerable.
The existence that thought that the Demon Venerable with the strength of the Immortal Realm would not be able to kill him, but now that he was bumped into by himself, no matter how much he resisted, it was just in vain after all.
Li Xiuping looked at the other party and gave up directly, and couldn't help frowning: "Don't fight?" I'd like to see what you do. ”
The owner of Zhao Zhuang said, "As long as Li Gongzi and the layman can spare my life, I can tell you some things about the demon clan." ”
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "The secret method you practice is indeed related to the demon race, but if you want to say that you know any secrets of the demon race, I definitely don't believe it, if I guess correctly, I'm afraid you don't even have the qualifications to contact the demon race, right?" ”
The owner of Zhao Zhuang was stunned.
Li Xiuping continued: "Look, you can't even grasp the chance to live, and you don't even have the qualifications to contact the demons, but you want to practice the secret methods of the demons, it's really ...... I don't even know what to say, how can a good person practice the secret method of the demon race? ”
Lord Zhao Zhuang suddenly roared: "What do you heavenly pride know, if a person does not have a spiritual root, he cannot embark on the road of cultivating immortals, so he can only live a dull life, and then wait for death to keep approaching, why?" Why is it that some people are born with spiritual roots and are destined to be extraordinary, while some people can only live as humble as ants? ”
Li Xiuping was stunned.
After a while, Li Xiuping sighed and said, "Actually, I don't have a spiritual root, but maybe I'm lucky." ”
That Zhao Zhuang owner was stunned.
Don't have a spiritual root?
If a person doesn't have a spiritual root, how can he practice except for the Demon Dao? But this Li Gongzi is obviously not walking the devil's way.
Could it be that you can set foot on the immortal path without a spiritual root?
He shook his head and said, "I don't believe it." ”
Li Xiuping continued: "This is the case, so it can only show that your luck is indeed not very good, and you have come into contact with the Demon Dao, and although I don't have a spiritual root, I have not been in contact with the Demon Dao, so in order to achieve immortal life, I can only take the Immortal Dao." ”
After saying this, he turned away and said no more.
The Qing Ming monk naturally knew his thoughts, and without hesitation, the immortal sword Qing Ming hovering in mid-air fell straight down, killing the Zhao Zhuang master directly.
After the Zhao Zhuang master was killed, Li Xiuping said to those people: "Everyone go back, there must still be a lot of hidden dangers here, and there will be you and the sect where you are in the future." ”
After speaking, he walked directly towards the Zhao Mansion, in the Zhao Mansion, there must be a lot of things that need to be dealt with, such as the secret method of cultivation, and these things must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise there will be the next Zhao Zhuang Master.
Along the way, Li Xiuping didn't speak, his mood seemed to be a little low, and what he thought was the last roar of the Zhao Zhuang master.
For a moment, Li Xiuping was actually a little soft-hearted, because he could understand the feelings of the Zhao Zhuang master, because he didn't have a spiritual root himself.
As he said, he may be lucky that although he does not have a spiritual root, he has a master, an old man who allows him to practice without a spiritual root.
If it weren't for Mr. Ouye, if he had also been exposed to the secret method of the Demon Dao before, he didn't know if he would become the same person as this Zhao Zhuang Master.
But Li Xiuping finally made a murderous intention, not only because the immortals and demons are not separated, but also because even if he tried to empathize, he found that even if he chose to practice the Demon Dao, he would never be able to do the same thing as this Zhao Zhuang master, because he would never use so many innocent lives to achieve himself.
People are born different, and this difference determines their behavior, and different behaviors also determine different destinies......
Feeling Li Xiuping's emotions, the Qingying monk frowned and said, "You won't really go to your heart, right?" ”
Li Xiuping shook his head and said, "That's not true, it's just a little emotional." ”
The Qing Ming monk nodded, but he was not worried.
On the surface, he could see that Li Xiuping's mood was depressed, as if he had been affected, but inside, as a sword cultivator, he saw that Li Xiuping's sword heart was transparent at the moment, and he was far superior to him.
In life, emotions are inevitable, but as long as the original mind is not affected, it will be able to override all emotions, and it will not be affected by any emotions, and it will not affect the cultivation.
At such an age, he can do this step, and he can directly return to the meaning of his own ontological existence at the moment of emotional occurrence, even if he is a Qingming layman, he has to admire, so the young man in front of him can have today's achievements, not only luck and fate, but also something that ordinary people can't reach.
When everyone returned to the Zhao Mansion, the entire Zhao Mansion was still brightly lit, and all the servants were still busy with their own affairs, and they seemed to be completely unaware of what happened tonight.
Li Xiuping didn't explain anything to these people, after all, even if he didn't alarm anyone, he could easily handle the affairs in the mansion, so after dealing with all the things in the Zhao Mansion, Li Xiuping and others left Lotus Township directly overnight and continued to go south.
Forced to make a move before, but now the night breeze of cold winter is blowing one after another, Li Xiuping is really unbearable at the moment, so much so that he can only take off the wine jug on his waist and pour a sip of wine.
Although the wine fairy had instructed that this wine should be drunk every day, but not more than three times a day, not less than twice, but Li Xiuping was very clear about the situation of this wine after all, and naturally knew the reason why he needed to drink wine every day, so if he drank it at this moment, as long as he could guide the consumption of the effect of the wine, there would be no problem.
After taking a sip of wine, Li Xiuping felt a little better, and he couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart.
Since he left Qingyang Town, although he has been on the verge of life and death several times, he has never been so embarrassed.
The attack of a Demon Venerable with the strength of the Immortal Realm, it was really not a joke, if it weren't for the fact that the wine fairy senior happened to appear, he would have died in the Lingxiao Sect a long time ago, but even if he picked up a life, now it is actually almost the same as death, that is, he barely has a breath left, just relying on this wine to continuously provide nutrients to the willow tree, and then the willow tree will support his vitality from disappearing all at once, and the soul that supports him will not be destroyed.
Li Xiuping knows very well that this situation will not last long at all, maybe three years, maybe five years, or even shorter.
And now the only one who can save him is one of the two immortals, the flower fairy, that is, the Mo Xiangyan mentioned by his master, Mr. Ou Ye, in the inheritance of the Night Walking Division.
Mr. Ou Ye did not say that Mo Xiangyan was the flower fairy, but the wine fairy mentioned the flower fairy, and also said that the only one who could save him was the flower fairy, and the flower fairy was the person he was looking for in the south, and the person he was looking for was Mo Xiangyan, so Mo Xiangyan was naturally the flower fairy.
According to the information left by Mr. Ou Ye, Mo Xiangyan is in a place called Nanying Country in the south, and Nanying Country is located on the coast of the South China Sea, tens of thousands of miles away, the key is that the south is also at war with the demons now, and the situation is not much better than that of the East China Sea.
If the situation in the south is the same as that in Emperor Wu City, and the defense can only be determined according to the influence of the rules of heaven and earth, then now that the entire Nanying Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the demons, it is almost impossible to find Mo Xiangyan in the Nanying Kingdom.
Besides, it was an immortal, and if she didn't show up, it would be almost impossible for others to find her.
And the key now is, can I make it to the south alive, and can I support myself to find the flower fairy senior?
If you can control the sword or control the spirit boat, you can save a lot of time, and you can have more time to find the whereabouts of the flower fairy senior, but now you can only walk, you can never leave the ground, even if you don't stop along the way, it will take a year or two to get to the south, not to mention his current body, it is impossible to keep hurrying for a moment, and I am afraid that before he is halfway through, he will have to be exhausted first.
The Qingming monk looked at Li Xiuping and took a sip of wine in advance, knowing what the wine fairy had ordered before, he couldn't help but ask, "Is your body okay?" ”
Li Xiuping nodded, and then said, "Let's find a place to rest first." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a team on horseback chased after him......
Some people died, but not completely......
