070: River of Blood: Part II
Lu Sheng watched his three brothers fly into the river, and he didn't think about whether he wanted to save them. Before he left, in the night, he saw the three people being bitten by the demon beast that had turned out of the river......
Rolling, pulling, howling.
"Ahh
"Help! Save me!! β
Gurgling ......
Above the river, after the three of them struggled violently, they were dragged into the water and into the depths by a group of demon beasts, and then only bubbling bubbles remained on the surface of the river.
For another moment, there was no sign of it.
As if you can see that there is a slight redness in the river?
A dark crimson.
Lu Sheng didn't understand, turned his head and mustered up the courage to question Que Shiyi:
"Why did you throw my third brother and them in to feed the fish!"
Que Shiyi was disdainful:
"What, do you have an opinion on the old man's decision?"
Lu Sheng looked at him with hatred and was indignant:
"They are my brothers, who made a fortune with me, and now that you killed them, I must have an opinion!"
"They? Take you to make a fortune? Oh, you kid, how long have you been with them? β
When he asked this, Lu Sheng thought about it seriously, thought in his heart, and muttered and calculated:
"Yes...... Probably, there are more than ten days. β
"Huh!"
Que Shiyi said contemptuously:
"You kid is a malleable talent, except for the relatively thin body bones, but the old man takes a fancy to your good courage, and when you go out, it's just for money, the old man has it. Do you not know what they are thinking, do you really think that they are kind enough to bring you with you? β
"What do you mean?"
Lu Sheng was puzzled, and seeing that Lu Sheng was suspicious, Que Shiyi secretly laughed, and his face was still righteous and awe-inspiring:
"If your eldest brother Mei Chao really knows how to be a man, he won't take on this kind of work, drawing blood from ordinary people and watching them half-dead, it's very uncomfortable, right? But you see, Mei Chao laughed so happily. β
After that, Que Shiyi waved his hand and shared Que Shiyi's own divine vision with Lu Sheng.
Looking two miles away, Lu Sheng turned around and saw Mei Chao's side.
The scene over there made Lu Sheng's heart tighten: the important thing is not what Mei Chao is doing, at first glance, Lu Sheng saw those familiar people in Houjiu City.
Shouldn't they have slept by this time, and why are they here?
Also, why did they listen to Mei Chao's words, obviously waiting for the wheat fields in Jiucheng to grow more than enough seeds, and obviously this autumn will usher in a bumper harvest.
Big Brother Mei Chao ......
"Silly boy, the old man just ordered him to bring the people from Huacheng, just because the magistrate of Huacheng was corrupt, and the old man wanted to defraud the corrupt official, and afterwards the people of Huacheng were escorted back to Huacheng by the old man himself. All this was carefully arranged by the old man, there are demon beasts in the river, you have also witnessed it with your own eyes, the bloodletting here attracts demon beasts, just so that the people of Huacheng can safely cross the river on that side, but Mei Chao is for great merit, you see, what is he doing now? β
Que Shiyi added fuel to the fire, whispered and complained, and a demonic voice penetrated into Lu Sheng's heart, constantly knocking on Lu Sheng's reason.
Lu Sheng looked over there, and Mei Chao was full of smiles.
You don't know, I don't know, no one knows what will happen next, but after some 'guidance' from the layout person Que Shiyi, Lu Sheng already expected it in his heart.
But he didn't seem to be in time......
"Mei Chao! You bastard!!! β
Lu Sheng woke up in a nightmare, shouted angrily, spread his legs and rushed to Mei Chao's side.
Que Shiyi looked at the back of Lu Sheng running away wildly, knowing that his plan had succeeded, he couldn't help but laugh out loud slowly, raised his head and laughed, and the laughter became more and more rampant.
"Haha-ha ~β
'Catch up!' Catch! Be sure to catch up! β
Lu Sheng was crazy, and rushed to Mei Chao's side desperately, shouting while running wildly:
"Don't cross the river, everyone! Look at me, everybody! It's me! Lu Sheng! Don't cross the river!! β
But I don't know how far it is yet.
The picture shared by Que Shiyi's divine consciousness in Lu Sheng's eyes seemed to be close at hand, but the distance of two miles was not a gap that ordinary people could close by casually raising their legs and running.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds......
Time was going on, and Lu Sheng was out of breath.
"Everyone! Everyone, don't, cross the river...... Whew, whew, whewγ......"
Finally, I couldn't run.
However, when Lu Sheng supported his knees with his hands, bent over and gasped for breath for a short moment, and then raised his eyes to look ahead, he finally saw Mei Chao.
"Mei Chao !!"
Lu Sheng opened his throat and shouted.
This time, everyone heard Lu Sheng's voice.
Including Mei Chao, he turned around, looked at Lu Sheng's side, and then moved to the perspective on the right-hand side, waiting for the people of Jiucheng, those are all familiar figures of Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng didn't know what to say......
How to save?
'Ah, yes, there is still salvation, those monsters have not yet come out to eat people. β
Lu Sheng's mind was confused, and his pupils were so panicked that his pupils were dilated, and then he immediately came back to his senses and shouted at Mei Chao, who was looking at Lu Sheng's arrival and didn't know why:
"Big brother! Let them come up! They ......"
Burst!! ββ
Da Ka !!
A crocodile demon broke through the water and jumped up, and the thunderbolt intercepted Mei Chao, who was standing by the river. The slender beast mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth was embedded in Mei Chao's waist.
Mei Chao looked at Lu Sheng, his eyes and movements didn't seem to have reacted yet, and even his movements didn't change, he was directly kicked by the crocodile demon's hind legs, and Mei Chao's whole person was instantly dragged into the river.
Mei Chao...... There wasn't even the slightest movement of struggle.
Lu Sheng suddenly panicked, and looked to the right, there was still a large group of people waiting for Jiucheng in the river. Those were almost all people Lu Sheng knew, and Lu Sheng had already expected what would happen next, those demon beasts would soon happen to the people who were smuggling here.
Theyβ
The people who were called from Houjiucheng were all in the river at this time, and some of them had already swam to the front, and they couldn't hear Lu Sheng's roar standing by the river at this time:
"Come back, everyone! Get ashore!! β
Boom! ββ
Smack!!
The river was surging, more violently than when Lu Sheng threw the barrel before. The demon beasts in the river have an inexplicable hatred in the face of the living human race, and this emotion has even exacerbated the death of those people who crossed the river from Hou Jiucheng.
Suddenly, in the middle of the black river, wails arose.
It wasn't just the river splashing high, it was not just the river that flew out of the air, but also the blood that burst out of their torn bodies and severed spines.
But the moonlight dyed them all the same color.
Gray black, vague ragged.
They were piled up in tatters in the river.
The cold night, the cold river, but because of the feast of those monsters, the surface of the river is like a boiling boil, constantly tumbling.
Lu Sheng looked at such a scene, as if he was in hell.
He knew that he couldn't do anything, he couldn't accomplish anything, and he still wanted to go outside to earn a lot of money, but now, even the original vision was torn to pieces and ravaged into blur.
No, all gone.
This black river was infected with the blood of hundreds of people, and the crumbs of the wooden barrels two miles away were still brought over with the surging of the crocodile demons in the deep water.
Under the pale moonlight, the river that Lu Sheng faintly saw was no longer clear black, as if it was red.
Deep dark red.
'No ......'
"No, no, no, no, no!!"
Lu Sheng's only belief and only hope is to let the people of Houjiucheng live a happy life and live a worry-free life. It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this, how can you die like this?
Lu Sheng's heart was filled with sadness and sorrow,
In the end, he became numb, and he should fight for it and take revenge......
"I'm going to kill you!!"
Lu Sheng lost his mind, shouted angrily with red eyes, and jumped into the river with his legs up-
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to take revenge!!"
Puffed into the black river, Lu Sheng didn't wait for the demon beast to attack him, and he first discovered that he hadn't entered the water since he was a child...... I can't swim!
Gollum ...... "Help, help!" β¦β¦β
Not far away, Que Shiyi squinted his eyes and sighed:
"Alas, the bones and temperament are good, but after all, the brain is not bright, and it is also unacceptable, unacceptable."
It's just a pity that there is a seedling missing, but it's not in the way.
Que Shiyi's abacus is far more than that, recalling the messy scene in his court sect when he came back before, it is not difficult to guess who did it after calming down.
Now on this Qiu Jin Continent, not to mention the means, there is only one who can have the courage to provoke Que Shengting to such an extent, except for the emperor of the dynasty, there is only one person left: the scholar and prime minister of the dynasty, the national teacher, and Shangguan Yuan.
"Wait, Shangguan Yuan, this debt, the old man will slowly settle it with you in the future!" β
From the time Shangguan Yuan made a move, Shangguan Yuan knew that this beam would definitely come to an end. But he is not false, if Que Shiyi dares to come, let him come, in the case of fighting alone, both sides are Daomen law cultivators, and no one is necessarily afraid of whom.
Dharma cultivation can also be regarded as one of the branches of Taoist cultivation.
Fa cultivation is different from sword cultivation and sword cultivation, most of the Fa cultivation relies on the gathering of one's own spiritual power as the main means of attack, and this attack method can still reflect a significant gap in the exercises they have learned.
Therefore, for Fa cultivation, it is better to learn a higher-level exercise than to practice a low-level exercise to become proficient.
"Ahh β¦β¦ Hmmm, huh. β
On the wasteland continent, near the Meteoric Immortal Gate Mountain Sect, Shangguan Yuan lurked and waited, waiting for the trace of that person, but there was no trace for a few days, guarding and guarding, and unconsciously sneezed.
Under normal circumstances, Shangguan Yuan would not even have a cold, let alone a sneeze.
It must be Que Lao'er's house back.
'Hmmm......'
Shangguan Yuan thought so, but now is not the time to go back, in other words, Zhang Gongzi has been here a long time ago? Why haven't you squatted for two days and still haven't squatted anyone?
Shangguan Yuan wanted to ask the Meteoric Immortal Gate about some things, but he couldn't go directly to the Meteoric Immortal Gate to ask, nor could he ask those disciples of the Falling Immortal Sect.
The big sects on this wasteland continent are different from the sects on the Qiu Jin continent, just from the surface layout, the sects on the Qiu Jin continent, even if they are first-class Que Shengting, only occupy a relatively large area.
It's bigger, that's it.
Compared with the sects on the wasteland continent, there are many large and small sects on the wasteland continent, and the faΓ§ade of Que Shengting is placed here, not even as good as some chicken-headed wild households.
After squatting for two days without waiting for anyone, Shangguan Yuan couldn't wait for the rabbit all the time, he planned to go to other places to hide his aura, so as not to cause those unnecessary troubles.
Go and see if there is any trace of Zhang Gongzi in other places.
β¦β¦
At this moment, it is still the middle of the night.
In the black river, Lu Sheng struggled and tried to pounce, but he didn't get help, and no one came to save him.
Mei Chao and his party all died in this black river, and now, Lu Sheng also got this result.
Panic, suffocation......
It's not despair that occupies my heart, it's my heart...... My unwillingness!
I'm unwilling!!
"Ahh
He screamed, but he only opened his eyes suddenly, and he didn't make a sound after opening his mouth.
I consciously found that the blurred vision in my eyes gradually became clearer, and my throat seemed to be covered with a thick layer of dust, hoarse and dry.
General weakness, quadriplegia.
Waking up in a secret room? Here it is...... Where?
I remember my name was Lu Sheng, but ...... It doesn't seem right. It doesn't seem like it's me, it's me? No, no, I'm not called Lu Sheng......
I should call Li Changyuan......
Looks like I'm having a nightmare. β
A long-lasting nightmare.
I don't know what time it is, Li Changyuan vaguely remembers that he used to compete with those disciples of the Star Dao Sect in the martial arts arena. On the way to learn, I want to break through the bottleneck and break through the realm, and then ...... Only......
'You're awake. β
In my mind, a familiar voice comes to mind.
It's Rosa.
Li Changyuan asked:
'What time is it and how long have I been asleep?' β
Rosa replied:
Twenty years have passed since you last slumbered. β
Long......
What happened to the Illusory Sky Sword Sect now? Li Changyuan wanted to get up and get out of bed to take a look, he didn't know what had changed in the outside world, and he didn't know how he ......
Hiss......
The body couldn't move, and Li Changyuan still needed to slow down.
After waking up, he lay on the bed for almost an hour, and Li Changyuan's body gradually regained consciousness, but he could still clearly feel that he had no cultivation now. I can't feel the existence of the sea of qi at all, and when I want to expand my divine sense, I can't even sense the spiritual power in my body.
'I'm ......'
Rosa explains:
"Now that you have lost all your cultivation, it is already very good to wake up, and now you are no different from ordinary people." β
Got up and got out of bed with difficulty, dressed in white pajamas, Li Changyuan sat up, sat on the edge of the bed for a long time, for a long time, he felt that he was short of strength, a little dizzy, very hungry and thirsty.
The throat is hoarse and he can't make a sound.
Dada......
Hearing that there was a sound of footsteps coming outside, Li Changyuan was curious about who it was. After a moment of waiting, the door was opened, and in came an old woman, whose face was full of wrinkles, and the wrinkles on her cheeks and the corners of her mouth were quite noticeable because she had lived in sorrow.
But when she entered the house and saw the person on the bed wake up, the soaked white cloth on her hand snapped to the ground, and the old woman was suddenly stunned and burst into tears:
"Sir...... You, are you awake? You're awake, you're finally awake! β
Li Changyuan felt that his memory was a little confused, he didn't know if it was a dream, the extra twenty years of memories out of thin air were occupying his brain, and when he saw the white-haired old woman in front of him, Li Changyuan stared at her and pondered for a while before he reluctantly confirmed:
"Are you...... Fang Qian? β
"Yes, it's me, I'm Fang Qian, master, you finally woke up, the little girl has been waiting for you for a long time......"
The old woman's eyes were full of tears, and she stepped forward and knelt down in front of Li Changyuan, crying so much that she couldn't stop.
Li Changyuan raised his eyes and looked around, looking at the environment in this room, the surroundings were quite clean, and he stepped on the cool wooden floor with his bare feet, and felt that there was no dust. Looking at the tabletops, hangers, wall cabinets, etc. in the room, they are also spotless.
Everything in the room was also neatly furnished.
The old woman who knelt on the ground in front of her heels is now also dressed in clean clothes, but the years have passed, and her former figure has become a shadow in her memory, and she will never see Fang Qian again.
In a blink of an eye, twenty years of time, people who are not on my path, are all mottled with years......
Old, old, Li Changyuan sighed in his heart, and unconsciously thought about himself, raised his hand and touched his face...... No wrinkles?
In the past 20 years, I have not aged, I should thank Fang Qian for taking good care of her, she has worked hard all these years.
"Get up."
Fang Qian wiped away her old tears, got up, put on Li Changyuan's shoes, stepped forward to catch Li Changyuan's arm, supported Li Changyuan's weak body, and slowly walked out of the room.
This room is so familiar.
When Li Changyuan walked out of the room and walked into the main hall of the sect from the corridor, he realized that the room where he had slept for twenty years was the place where his cheap father retreated.
If you can't wake up by yourself......
Maybe the next corpse on the bed is himself.
"Sect Master?"
Only then did he walk out of the main hall of the sect, and there was a doubtful temptation from the side. Li Changyuan turned his head sideways and saw that it was Liangping who was approving documents on the main seat.
During the years that Li Changyuan was asleep, thanks to the help of Leng Zikuan from the Star Dao Sect, when Leng Zikuan took his disciples to leave the Illusory Sky Sword Sect twenty years ago, he also left the token that Leng Zikuan had with him.
β¦β¦
At that time, Liangping was very puzzled:
"Might, why is that?"
"Take it."
"But my sect master didn't win this game."
Leng Zikuan smiled obscurely:
"Hehe, you see, the disciples of my sect were all shocked by Li Changyuan and flew out of the field, this game, it doesn't count me as losing?"
Ryohei talks about things:
"But my sect master also lost consciousness before this, so it stands to reason ......"
"What about the future?"
Leng Zikuan talked about his future plans:
"If there are other sects that come to fight your Illusory Sky Sword Sect in the future, what should you do?"
"I ......"
"A big sect, there is no elder Taishang, no strong guest qing, no sect master, no leader, you are under a lot of pressure, this brand, just as my heart, from the beginning, even if there is no bet, my identity will stay here."
Leng Zikuan talked to himself and left his identity waist card in the Illusory Sky Sword Sect.
It is precisely because of the cold and self-wide waist card that someone from Que Shengting came to the door to test it before, and after seeing the brand of [Star Dao Sect], they also understood the consequences, and consciously retreated.
Hitherto......
I still can't believe that a person with a broken mirror, a person without cultivation, and a person with no signs of life can wake up twenty years later?
Liangping saw Li Changyuan again at this time, and the indescribable excitement made his nasal cavity sour and his eyes red:
"Sect Master!"
Li Changyuan's pale face was no match for Liangping's wrinkles that had been added to the Heavenly Sword Sect's hard work day and night.
Looking at Liangping's excited appearance, Li Changyuan smiled bitterly, his throat was dry, Li Changyuan just nodded slightly, Liangping put down the busyness in his hand, hurriedly got up, and accompanied Li Changyuan with Fang Qian.
The three of them walked to the guest seat under the stage of the main hall and carefully helped Li Changyuan to take a seat.
Seeing that Li Changyuan's body was thin, like a layman, he must be short of water and food, Liangping did not tell Fang Qian, but ran out of the hall by himself and ran to the canteen to get food back.
On the way out of the main hall to the cafeteria, he rushed all the way, and even sprinted directly into the air in an open place.
An inner door elder saw Ryohei so reckless, and asked curiously:
"Great Elder, what's going on?"
