Chapter 42: Tearing the skin and revealing the fangs
Hong House.
Hong Zhiyu and Qian Lingwu sat and drank opposite each other, and the table was full of various delicacies.
After three rounds of drinking, a servant bowed his head and said a few words in Hong Zhiyu's ear, like a mosquito. Hong Zhiyu's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at Qian Lingwu coldly, and he didn't smile, "Brother Qian, I'm afraid that you didn't come to Baishi County to make a fortune, but to collude with Li Kuiwei and others to take our lives, right?" ”
Qian Lingwu was startled, the wine glass in his hand fell on the wine table, and the wine spilled, wetting his front placket for a long time, but he didn't care about tidying it up, and said in a panic: "Why did the virtuous brother say this?" Isn't it a foolish brother, where did he lose his proportion? ”
"It's just you and me here, why bother pretending!" Hong Zhiyu stared at Qian Lingwu deeply, "Without conclusive evidence, I don't dare to talk nonsense!" ”
"There must be a misunderstanding!" Qian Lingwu's face turned pale, and he didn't know if it was because he was nervous or afraid.
"Misunderstanding?" Hong Zhiyu sneered, "Because your brother is a scholar of the household department, my uncle specially told me to treat you well, my brother has really treated you well over the years, and I will share any benefits!" You, a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, actually secretly voted for Li Kui for that guy, and you will take revenge, and in turn want to harm us and others, you really deserve a thousand cuts! ”
"Foolish brother is wronged!" Qian Lingwu slipped down from the Taishi's chair and sat on the ground, "There must be a traitor who provokes it, don't be gullible!" ”
Hong Zhiyu looked disdainful, "Dare to be stubborn when you die, I have definite news here, you are Li Kuiwei's dark line!" It seems that if you don't give you a little bit of power, you won't be able to recruit! He shouted, "Someone! ”
Seven or eight strong servants rushed in, obviously waiting outside the door for a long time, waiting for Hong Zhiyu's shout, and scooped Qian Lingwu up from the ground with seven hands and eight feet.
"Hang me in the yard and serve me!"
"Wronged......"
In the courtyard, the hemp rope had already been tied to the tree, and several servants were extremely nimble, and they hung Qian Lingwu from head to foot in three or two clicks.
A strong man with a naked upper body holding a leather whip, without saying a word, stepped forward and smoked, his clothes were tattered and bloody.
"Ah......" Qian Lingwu screamed.
"To recruit or not to recruit?" Hong Zhiyu's voice is playful.
"Move!" Qian Lingwu gasped, looking frightened.
"Where's the stuff?" Hong Zhiyu smiled brightly.
Qian Lingwu's fat face turned red, and his snot was full of tears, "What the hell is it?" ”
Hong Zhiyu frowned, "You are really impatient!" Turning his head to look at the strong man, "Hit me hard!" ”
"Ah...... Spare your life, spare your life...... Ah...... "Qian Lingwu begged for mercy.
After a while, Qian Lingwu was beaten and his flesh was opened, and the blood flowed, and his appearance was extremely scary.
Hong Zhiyu waved his hand and said coldly: "Where are you hiding?" ”
Qian Lingwu panted, his face was crying, and his voice was hoarse, "I really don't know anything!" ”
Hong Zhiyu's brows became tighter and tighter, seeing that Qian Lingwu really didn't seem to be a hypocrisy, could it be someone else, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "When you went to Jiang Shoujing's place to drink longevity wine that day, did you bring a little stonemason?" ”
Qian Lingwu thought for a while, grinned and said, "Isn't it that second dog!" Jiang Qianhuyang, I found him a stonemason with outstanding craftsmanship to carve a stone monkey, and I took him with me......"
"Where did he come from?" Hong Zhiyu was in hot pursuit.
"Generations of craftsmen in Shiraishi County." Qian Lingwu was shocked.
Hong Zhiyu frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "Beforehand, it was inconspicuous and inconspicuous. Afterwards, he appeared in the Qian Mansion again and again, could it be that he was Li Kuiwei's dark line? Looking at Qian Lingwu, he shouted, "Did you steal Sanjiangwei's fish scale atlas?" ”
Qian Lingwu's eyes widened, with a look of shock and grievance, "Wronged, ......"
Hong Zhiyu turned around angrily and ordered everyone, "Go, go to Fugui Street!" ”
"Brother Hong, Brother Hong......" Qian Lingwu shouted at the top of his voice, Hong Zhiyu strode and didn't look back.
……
Hong'en Temple Pagoda.
The long knot pointed at Du Qing Demon's sword, and all kinds of runes surged out from the big sleeve, as vast as a sea of smoke, seemingly endless, surrounding Du Qing Demon, Du Qing Devil struggled to resist, but he couldn't break through the encirclement for a while.
The long knot pinched the trick with his left hand, flicked his right wrist, and hit the last three copper coins in the crack of the stone, and with a "boom", the rosette shook violently.
"Bang ......"
The cyan skeleton suddenly swelled, more than a person tall, and spewed out a cloud of green flames, turning into a dragon, smashing the runes to pieces, burning the jade, and annihilating the frogs.
At this moment, the rosette treasure was flourishing, and Du Qing Devil dodged and wanted to step forward, but was blocked by the long knot, Du Qing Devil pinched the law and made a ruthless move to force the long knot to retreat. hurriedly grabbed the rosette closer, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the long knot not not advancing but retreating, and there was still a smile on his face. Look at the lotus seat again, it has been spun apart, a circle is as fast as a circle, and the treasure light is solemn. Knowing that something was wrong, he dodged and retreated, but he was a step slower.
"Boom ......", the entire stupa is covered with a layer of dark brilliance, and it spun rapidly, and dust, masonry and stone plummeted down.
"Bang ......"
The long knot that had disappeared in the tower suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the meteor smashed on the stone ground, directly smashing through the floor, piercing three layers in a row, and smashing into the dungeon, vomiting a large mouthful of blood.
Du Qingmo stopped, his face was solemn, his hands pinched, and the cyan skeleton more than one person tall spewed out a ball of green flames again, the surrounding temperature plummeted, the fireworks twisted, turning into a spear that was more than two feet long, piercing the tower window, there was only a layer of Xuanguang, which did not look difficult to break. However, the spear returned with a single touch, and it shot backwards without any loss of power.
Du Qingmo's eyes froze, and he hurriedly urged the skeleton to deal with it, but fortunately, he had prepared for it and resolved it without danger. used many means in a row, but not only did he not have the slightest chance of this tower, but he was hit one after another, and his face became more and more ugly. Before he could try again, a slightly helpless voice interrupted him.
"Don't waste any more energy, it's useless!" Before the words fell, the long knot flew out of the hole in the floor, opposing Du Qing Devil on both sides of the pagoda.
"Do you know what this name is?" Du Qing Mo was suspicious in his heart, this guy of unknown origin was very strange, to say that he didn't know anything, when the formation was just launched, he would never have escaped in advance; But to say that he knows it all, it's not like it, after all, he also suffered a big loss.
Changjie snorted and said with some self-deprecation: "Don't you know! Sighed, "It's just that I didn't expect that old thing to become so ruthless, and he casually used all the five-layer Xuanta talismans!" Secretly clenched his fists, needless to say, the old man's move was specifically aimed at him, for fear that he would not die, and dug a grave for him in advance. Now that I think about it, the so-called "clues" left by that old thing are all traps!
"Xuanta Fu?" Du Qingmo's heart sank, the Xuanta Fu was one of the top ten runes of the ancients. The power of the ancient runes is all over the sky, but it is also extremely complicated, not to mention that most of the runes have been lost now, and even if there is, not ordinary people can draw them! How could such a powerful rune appear here?
"Fuhua Xuanta, the wall is like a mirror, the trapped beasts are fighting with each other, let him be cruel Shura Demon, don't think of my Seven Xuanta!" Changjie said in a deep voice, "This is a five-layer Xuanta talisman, it is difficult for monks below the god transformation period to get out, and if you can't pass a stick of incense, this tower will shrink more and more, and there will be no place for you and me to stand, so we can only die obediently!" ”
As he spoke, the stupa rumbled, and the gravel and wood fell sharply, like a downpour. Du Qingmo and the two did not dodge, and all the debris automatically turned into powder when they were three feet away from the two, as if there was an invisible barrier around the two of them.
Du Qingmo rubbed his cheeks, his posture was calm, he didn't seem to be in a hurry, and said, "Presumably you already have a way to crack it!" ”
"The plan for today is that you and I join forces, so that we can have a glimmer of life!"
Du Qingmo's eyes were half-narrowed, his eyes playful, "I don't know how to join forces?" ”
Changjie smiled bitterly: "I know you can't trust me, but now we are in the same boat, the boat capsizes, and no one can escape!" ”
Du Qingmo said angrily: "It's long-winded, it's really troublesome, let it go if you have a fart!" ”
"I know that there is more than one Green Skeleton in your hand, Old Demon, and they all have feelings between each other, shattering the void and stepping on the void, you can travel thousands of miles in an instant, far from being comparable to ordinary teleportation formations! Presumably, there is one of the saints outside the tower. Changjie stared at Du Qingmo, who sneered and said nothing, and Changjie's words changed, "However, this five-story Xuan Pagoda is extraordinary, and it can isolate all escape spells. Come to think of it, right now, even the old demon and your green skeleton have lost their sense of each other, and they can't escape from this tower! ”
"Who the hell are you?" Du Qingmo stared at the long knot, as if he wanted to see through it, "Even if it is with the tiger, the old man must know the roots and feet of this tiger cub!" ”
"Flying Dragon Academy, Xuanzhu Seven Elders, ranked sixth, long knot real person!"
"Xuanzhu Seven Elders?" Du Qingmo sneered, "What nonsense! More than 20 years ago, the Seven Elders of Xuanzhu were killed by the Tongxian Society! Where did you come from? After a pause, "What's more, your talisman is not something that Xiao Chenzi's old thing can teach!" His eyes shone brightly, "What is your relationship with the person who set up the formation?" ”
Changjie smiled and said: "Old Demon, you are suspicious, more than twenty years ago, instead of dying at the hands of the Tongxian Society, our Seven Elders let me get acquainted with the Blood Demon Son, and it was like a familiar thing at first sight. As for my talismans, I don't hide it, it was taught by the people who set up the array. Later, because of the blood devil, the two of us turned against each other. More than 10 years ago, he killed me once. Shaking his head, "I really didn't expect that he was afraid that I would not die, so he secretly set this trap." I saw the clue at the last minute, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless for the slightest illusory possibility! ”
If you have a long knot, how much is true and how much is false, how much is you and how much is someone else, it is reasonable, and it really seems to be true.
Du Qingmo's face changed a few times, some were shocked, some were suspicious, and some were not convinced, "What is the origin of the people who set up the formation?" He didn't believe that there was such a cultivator, he would be an unknown person, and maybe he could find some clues from this person!
Long knot said: "This person's identity is mysterious, he has always been obscure, even I don't know very well, but I can give you three words - 'Immortal Fu Sect'." Seeing that Du Qingmo still had doubts, "Time is running out now, if you don't make a decision as soon as possible, the two of us can only die here!" ”
Du Qing's face hesitated, looking around, the pagoda turned faster and faster, shrinking smaller and smaller, and it was no longer enough for the original Trinity, and finally sighed secretly and said, "How to join forces?" ”
"I'm trying my best to break through a gap, you urge the green skull to cast a spell to escape the two of us from this tower!"
"Haha......" Du Qingmo laughed, and then his face turned cold, and his tone became cold, "Your Excellency's business is too fine, according to what you said, the old man, I will not only lose my cultivation, but also have to pay for this green skull!" ”
The long knot did not rush to justify, and as soon as his right hand was spread, a small golden snake with a thumb length appeared in his palm, which kept swimming in his palm, moving fast and not chaotic, as if following some mysterious trajectory, stirring the surrounding space to twist and tremble.
"Is this a rune?" Du Qingmo was very surprised.
The so-called "rune spirit" is the spirit bred in the rune. Of course, not all runes can give birth to runes, and only runes above the fourth order can have this opportunity. It's just possible, and it depends on the right time and place.
Once the talisman has a talisman, it is a life and spirituality, and the power will naturally rise, far beyond the comparison of other talismans of the same level. Moreover, over time, there is a possibility that its rank will jump further. It is precisely because of this that this kind of talisman has no market and is extremely precious.
And the rune spirit in Changjie's hand is at least the peak of the fourth-order high-grade, and its power is comparable to that of the fifth-order spirit rune, which is a means that can deal with the cultivators of the Transformation Stage, and its preciousness can be seen. It's no wonder that a well-informed old devil like Du Qingmo is so shocked.
Changjie glanced at the rune spirit in his hand, and his face was sincere: "Old devil, I want to use him to break the formation, this is my sincerity!" ”
The stupa had almost completely collapsed, and Du Qing Mo stopped talking nonsense, nodded, his hands quickly sealed, and the green skull opened its mouth, facing him, and glanced sideways at Changjie, who dodged and fell to him, and slapped the rune spirit with his palm. The golden snake swelled suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant python more than ten feet long, and blatantly crashed into the Xuan Tower.
"......Boom" The two colors of light collide with the two colors of light, the stone tower is shattered, and the boundless stones and broken wood fall straight down.
With a dozen snaps of his fingers, the python's body shrank by half, and its brilliance dimmed a lot. Du Qingmo watched coldly, and his sleeve robe swayed slightly in the wind.
Changjie said to himself: "It's a pity that this powerful rune spirit just recognized me as the master, and ended up like this." ”
Du Qing Moyin's right hand secretly pinched in his sleeve robe froze, and the rune spirit recognized the master, which meant that he and the rune spirit had a heart-to-heart connection, even if he had already cast the spirit rune, he could continue to control the spirit rune through divine thoughts. In other words, if he left him alone and escaped, he would have a countermeasure and withdraw the talisman at the last minute. In this way, it is a lose-lose situation. Obviously, the phrase "long knot" is not arbitrary, but it is said to him.
The two of them look very relaxed on the surface, but in fact, they both have their own ghosts, and they are secretly thinking about how to each other.
The Xuan Pagoda turned faster and faster, shrinking smaller and smaller, and seeing that there was no place to stand, Du Qingmo secretly clenched his right fist, "When can I go?" ”
"It's coming!" Before the words fell, the giant python turned into a slender gold thread, and the long knot was sealed with both hands, and the gold thread turned into a golden talisman and was printed on the Xuan Pagoda.
"Dang!"
The sound of a hammer struggling to strike a brass bell.
"Let's go!" Long Knot shouted in a deep voice.
As soon as Du Qingmo closed his palms, the green skull spit out a blue light, wrapping the two of them in his mouth, and the blue light flashed and disappeared.
"Boom ......"
The Xuan Pagoda suddenly condensed into a point of light and dissipated into the air, and the entire mountain trembled violently. Gao Jingchu and Hua Liandie, who had already hit the outside of the temple, were stunned at the same time, looking in the direction of the pagoda, before they could figure out what was going on, the Qing Ming skeleton flew out of Gao Jingchu's storage bag, and the blue light erupted, and the two figures retreated with a touch, Du Qingmo and Changjie took six or seven steps back at the same time, spurting blood from their mouths, and glaring at each other viciously. Obviously, the two had just fought a fierce battle.
Long Knot suddenly turned his head to look to the west, and at the same time, the Blue Skull also turned to the west. The long knot flashed away, and Du Qing Mo made a move, took the green skull down, and chased after him.
Du Qingmo threw down a sentence from afar: "You go first!" ”
However, before the words reached this side, Gao Jingchu had already run dozens of feet away, and Hua Liandie snorted coldly and chased in the direction where the two of them disappeared.
