Chapter 639: Thousands of miles away
The day after the tripartite oath, Jiang Chen had already arrived at the official road two hundred miles away from Panlong Palace.
The village in front of him was full of bones and ruins.
This is what happens after the demon crosses.
Dark brown earth, rendered by the color of dried blood. Not a single intact corpse could be found in the rubble, and only half of the best remained, most of them were only heads, or one or two mutilated hands and feet.
Demons feed on people.
After leaving Panlong Palace, Jiang Chen deeply realized the heaviness and cruelty of this sentence.
It wasn't the first village he had seen in ruins.
Along the way for 200 miles, such scenes are not uncommon.
So he no longer had the anger he had at the beginning, just silence.
Walking forward in silence, I met more bones, more desolation.
A village further ahead, although it did not fall to the fate of demon blood food, was not much better.
The entire hillside seemed to be swept by lightning and fire, and the houses were burned down, and dozens of villagers who rushed out fell in the black embers, one by one like charcoal, shrunken into tiny pieces, and their gender and appearance could no longer be distinguished.
Jiang Chen squatted down and touched the Tiangang aura remaining on the corpse, and countless tiny silver snakes were entwined, even after many days of dispersion and precipitation, the hairs on his arms stood up at once, and he was paralyzed for a moment.
"I'm afraid it's already the level of the demon fairy." He looked up at the horizon.
Rain.
Thunder rolls in the dark clouds.
A long rainbow suddenly swept across the gloomy sky, reflecting everyone's faces in a miserable white, and then, the sound of exploding thunder penetrated the eardrums, wrapped in the mighty sky, and roared and echoed in the world.
Jiang Chen thought solemnly, if such lightning was made by demons, how many cities in the human world could resist it?
His gaze turned to Xie Yuanji.
Xie Yuanmu shook his head: "I haven't heard of such a powerful character in the demon world. If there is, it must be a demon from the world. β
Jiang Chen said: "No matter where the demon comes from, it doesn't seem to be far from us now. β
"What are you afraid of!" A woman behind him shouted, "There is a great sage here, which demon who does not have long eyes dares to seek his own death!" β
Jiang Chen didn't need to look back, he could guess the fanatical expression on the face of that Chu Chu girl at this time.
Since she woke up, she has been following Xie Yuanyu every step of the way, and she has even been loyal to the door when she sleeps. Even if Xie Yuanmu has the power of gods and ghosts, he can't stand such a stubborn fight, so he can only let it go.
An Yunsleeve echoed: "That's it!" There is also my son-in-law and the Luminous Hero, and the monster will not deliver food to the door unless it is in the water in the brain. β
If Qu Chenyu hadn't returned to the city that never sleeps, maybe he would have been able to laugh twice. But now that she's gone, no one can stop the enthusiasm of the two little girls, and they get together to talk about what the demon will do with the Great Sage and Childe if it is sent to the door, and they can't even complain about the mud under their feet.
Jiang Chen himself did not have the confidence they said. He, Yingfu and Xie Yuanmu are all martial artists who have become holy in the flesh, and the other party is a demon immortal who controls the thunder law, the thunder law is the innate way, the head of all laws, if you really want to fight, I am afraid that the outcome will be unpredictable.
In contemplation, he suddenly woke up. At this time, Xie Yuanmu also gestured to the two women, signaling them to be quiet.
A faint breath passed from behind the rain curtain.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived?
Jiang Chen looked over vigilantly, and soon saw a cyan figure appear in the rain curtain, walking leisurely in an elegant manner.
"Qingxuan." Xie Yuanmu was the first to say the man's name.
Jiang Chen also recognized it at this time, this person had a relationship with him, and when Yingfu went to the Holy City to find the Blood Sword Saint's revenge, this guy was also watching the battle from the side.
Dressed in green clothes, he is known as a demon handsome.
What is the plan of this former marshal of the demon clan, who appeared here and now?
This guy's aura is more pure and mellow than it was back then. Before Jiang Chen's tentative divine thoughts could touch him, he was pushed away by an invisible big hand, far away.
But at that moment, Jiang Chen caught that trace of magnificent and far-reaching fluctuations, making him realize that the strength of this Tsing Yi demon handsome may have approached the level of the Blood Emperor Venerable.
"Lao Xie, it's been almost a hundred years since we last met, right?" The elegant temperament of the Tsing Yi demon handsome showed a personable smile.
There was not much enthusiasm in Xie Yuanji's voice: "The affairs of the demon clan have nothing to do with me. β
"Yes, you and my clan have already settled their grievances a hundred years ago." The smile of the demon handsome did not diminish, "But there is one more thing that you must do." β
"If that thing could have been done, it would have been done a hundred years ago."
"Just because you couldn't do it a hundred years ago doesn't mean you can't do it now." Demon Shuai raised a finger leisurely, "I found a friend who was known as the number one in the world three hundred years ago, and did three things for him, and he promised to do me a favor." β
Xie Yuanmu suddenly opened his eyes: "Blood Sword Saint? β
The demon marshal smiled and bowed: "While the knights' attention is focused on the battle for the throne, this may be our only chance." β
Few people in the world know what kind of waves these two words in the ruins of a village will set off in the world.
Before leaving, Jiang Chen asked Qing Xuan if he knew that there was a demon immortal who was proficient in thunder law was wandering around, and Qing Xuan replied with three words: "It's not me." β
Chu Chu cried and wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Great Sage of Yuankong, but this time, he was firmly rejected by Xie Yuanji.
For the next three days, she was sullen and could hardly see a smile.
Fortunately, she has to take the waterway next, even if she stuffs herself in the room and does not eat or drink, it will not affect the trip.
The big ship went north, and the green hills on both sides of the river were opposite each other.
Jiang Chen sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the river and the stone cliff in front of him.
An Yunsleeve stood behind him, watching his figure and the cliff walls erected at both ends like knives, reflecting the steep shape in his eyes.
The river gradually widens. The terrain on the shore tends to be gentle. There are also more fishing boats.
An Yunsleeve looked at the large and small houses sitting in the distance, and the smoke rising one after another, and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and said to the man in front of him: "Childe, let's go down for a walk?" β
Jiang Chen said: "The meal is almost here. β
An Yunsleeve let out an "oh" in disappointment, and his mood was obviously low.
After a while, she couldn't help but say, "Childe, will we come here again in the future?" β
"You like it here?"
"Yes! The view by the river is so good, it must be very comfortable to live! An Yunsleeve stretched out his hand and pointed to the village on the shore, "Just like them, build a yard, dig a pond, plant willow trees and pear trees, and when spring comes, the rain will gently fall on the pear blossom courtyard, and the wind will slowly blow through the catkins pond, it must be beautiful!" β
"However, in the summer and autumn, when the river rises, the torrent will flood your pear blossom courtyard and catkins pond."
"That'...... That's okay, we can wait until the flood is over and come back......"
As An Yunsleeve spoke, he suddenly noticed that Jiang Chen's breath was a little colder.
Not because of her, but because of a temple on the bank of the river ahead.
Futu Temple.
When An Yunsleeve saw the Futu Temple, he also stopped talking with interest. She knew that every time Jiang Chen saw or heard those two words, he would not be in a good mood.
Jiang Chen's mood was particularly bad at this time.
Because it is just elsewhere, a floating temple suddenly appeared in such a beautiful scenery along the coast, like mouse feces in a pot of porridge, which is particularly dazzling and disgusting.
And it seems that the temple has a lot of believers, and the incense is prosperous.
Jiang Chen unconsciously pinched the railing on the bow of the boat, and the strength was well grasped, leaving not even a shallow fingerprint.
He had been able to control his emotions well, and although he was not at ease, he would not have to raze a temple to the ground when he saw it, as he had at the beginning.
He snorted softly and looked away, wanting to be out of sight.
However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stopβ
At the moment when he looked away, a wonderful sensation suddenly appeared in his heart, as if a pair of dark eyes were opened above the sky, intertwined with his eyes, looking at each other in pairs.
He stared at it for a moment, then he had a guess, and asked loudly at the empty river, "King Fudo Ming, are you looking at me?" β
Heaven and earth are silent.
Jiang Chen sneered: "The dignified King of Ming is not moving, but he will only hide in the dark like a mouse and peep, isn't he afraid of making people laugh?" β
Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed in his eyes, which came extremely fast, and shot in front of him almost at the same time as he noticed it.
Jiang Chen tilted his head slightly, and the golden light dragged the clear and gorgeous tail flame and brushed his neck.
But he heard a rumbling behind him, probably because the canopy had been pierced, causing an exclamation.
A lot of people shouted, "It's flooded!" It's flooded! β
An Yunsleeve also clearly noticed that the deck under his feet was out of balance, and gradually fell to the side.
Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to what was behind him.
While he dodged the golden light, he caught the source of the golden light, which was the Futu Temple on the shore. When he jumped, it was like a ray of lightning sweeping across the river and shooting into the curling incense.
A moment later, when An Yunsleeve led Chu Chu out of the cabin and walked together, he only heard a bigger exclamation from the shore, the temple was blazing, and the figures in the flames fled crying and shouting.
An Yunsleeve sighed.
She held Chu Chu's palm, but instead of running to the shore, she landed on another big boat not far away.
The ship was full of warriors in armor and with swords, and they were disturbed by the cries for help from the side and the sky-high fire on the shore.
"Who are you?"
Although the other party was only two young women, this group of battle-hardened veterans did not dare to relax their vigilance. In today's world, there are many legends of witches with smiles on their faces and killing your whole family the next moment. Besides, the girl's graceful figure with her clothes like clouds just now shows that her cultivation is not below anyone on her side.
An Yun stood on the bow of the boat, ignoring the shiny blades in the hands of this group of people, and after helping Chu Chu stand firm on the railing, he turned his head and said lightly: "Our ship is broken, and we are tired of borrowing light." β
Some of the warriors looked at the two women, while others looked at their leader, a large man with a full beard.
They all knew that their boss had always been known for his hard-hearted heart, whether it was a delicate woman or an elderly man, he could unceremoniously drive them off the ship. However, the beauty of the woman in front of them is the only thing they have ever seen in their lives, and the boss will not make an exception for this?
The beard groaned for three breaths, and then made a decision: "Two girls, please." β
The samurai breathed a sigh of relief, and some even let out cheers. This girl is so beautiful that she melts the boss's hard heart!
However, they misunderstood the original meaning of the beard. As the leader of the entire team, it is basically impossible for the bearded man to affect his judgment because of the other party's beauty, and there is only one key reason for him to make a decision: within a few breaths of eye contact, he can't see through this woman's reality at all!
Instead of risking the provocation of the other party, it is better to sell her face first, as long as she doesn't wander around on the boat, the two of us can be safe for the time being.
An Yunsleeve nodded and smiled, "Thank you." β
Although the bearded man didn't figure out where she came from, he also roughly guessed her character. She had planned to simply drive the group off the boat if they didn't get on the road. You must know that when she first came out of the Futu Sect, she burned and looted all the way, and if she hadn't met the nemesis of her life, her Bodhisattva would not have changed her habits.
And Chu Chu, who looked delicate next to him, was also a decisive character at the beginning, and he didn't have a lot of lives on his hands when he was in Panlong Palace. Bearded didn't choose to directly confront them, apparently very wisely.
The samurai put away their swords, and the atmosphere eased considerably.
The eyes of many young people glanced in the direction of An Yunsleeve from time to time, and the bearded man hurriedly scolded them.
"What do you see? Don't die! β
"Rude things, get out of here!"
"Look at it again and gouge out your dog's eye!"
The young man only pretends to be the boss and is evil, but he doesn't know that what he says is from his heart.
An Yunsleeve didn't care about this kind of vision, she just felt uneasy, the chaos on the shore hadn't disappeared yet, and the confusion hadn't come for a long time, had they all encountered any trouble? The King of Fudo Ming sank the ship thousands of miles away, if Jiang Chen faced his Buddha statue golden body, could he take advantage? After all, he was the man who was known as the closest to the Buddha in the Futu Sect......
At this time, a charming girl's voice sounded from the cabin: "Is there a guest outside?" Gong Shaoxia Gu Shaoxia, let's go and have a look! β
With the sound of footsteps, a slender figure walked out, and two sword-bearing young men followed behind her, one left and one right.
"Which distinguished guest is coming to the door...... The girl followed everyone's gaze, and just after distinguishing An Yun's appearance, her voice stopped abruptly.
She was shocked by An Yunsleeve's appearance.
As the daughter of the Shangguan family, she has always been extremely confident in her appearance, "charming bones" is the teacher's comment to her, every smile is full of amorous, countless men in the clan bow down under her skirt, just like the two teenagers behind her, they stammered in front of her, and their eyes were burning when they looked at her.
But now when she saw An Yunsleeve, she suddenly felt that she was just a vulgar fan, which made it difficult for the second half of her throat to speak.
After all, Miss Shangguan has experienced a big scene, and after only three breaths, she regained her demeanor, her eyebrows stretched, and she smiled lightly: "What a beautiful sister!" β
She said left and right in an affectionate tone, "Gong Shaoxia Gu Shaoxia, have you ever seen such a peugeot woman before?" β
