Chapter 21: Strange
When Xu Chen woke up again, he could hardly feel the anxiety and pain of the burning fire, although he was still dizzy, but the situation was much better, he tried to exercise, and found that he had been able to use his divine sense to attract vitality, and he suddenly let out a long breath and felt a lot easier.
"Little junior brother woke up, how do you feel?"
Zhao Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor meditating, woke up instantly and quickly stood up and asked.
Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes and said, "I feel much better, and now I can use my divine sense." ”
Zhao Xuan was overjoyed and said, "Great, you lie down and rest for a while, and I'll arrange some meals." ”
After Zhao Xuan left the room, Xu Chen slowly ran the exercises to see the sea of knowledge, and sure enough, he could clearly see the blue jade beads, and he could also feel that there were still wisps of cold qi in the center of his eyebrows entering the sea of knowledge, but they were absorbed by the jade beads, and then turned into almost invisible white qi and released it.
"It seems that this is another function of Yuzhu!"
Xu Chen was surprised and full of joy.
However, at this time, even if he was able to exercise and use his divine sense, as long as his divine consciousness moved, he still felt a burning pain in his soul, but this pain was already bearable, far less than the extreme feeling of burning fire at the beginning.
The little fox was still lying on his forehead, but he was already asleep, and he was even snoring slightly.
"This time it's really thanks to this little guy!"
Xu Chen stretched out his hand and gently touched the soft fur of the little fox, and muttered softly.
And the little fox seemed to feel that the stroke was also very comfortable, the calf gently kicked a few times, and the little tail also gently swung a few times, sweeping Xu Chen's eyes and nostrils.
"Ah sneeze~"
Xu Chen couldn't help but sneeze, the little fox was awakened suddenly, stood up with a pair of small eyes, Xu Chen simply sat up, gently put the little fox into his arms, and then cross-legged and began to vomit luck.
This battle was extremely dangerous, and the three of them could be said to have tried their best, and almost all the magic weapons and spells were used up, but the ending was also unexpected, and they actually killed a True Yuan Realm monk.
Theoretically speaking, a True Yuan Realm cultivator with a second-grade magic weapon was far more difficult to deal with than a second-order top-level demon beast.
After all, the intelligence of demon beasts is limited, and if the three of them join forces and sincerely want to escape, it is basically not a big problem.
However, he was unlucky and met Xu Chen, a freak.
At the beginning, in the rift of the Black Wind Ridge, even the third-order demon wolf was completely annihilated by the blue jade bead, and if the monk of the True Spirit Realm was attacked by all the energy of the jade bead, he might die in an instant.
But since the jade bead was integrated into Xu Chen's sea of consciousness, it seemed that its power was much less, but after the power of the blue light was stimulated by Xu Chen's divine sense, the impact on the divine soul was not something that a True Yuan Realm monk could resist.
Xu Chen attacked twice, although his soul also suffered heavy damage, but obviously the black-robed Daoist was hurt even more.
In addition, Senior Brother Jiu is also a master who has been practicing walking the rivers and lakes all year round, and he will not let go of any flaws and opportunities, so the black-robed Taoist overturned in the gutter and could only suffer humiliation and death.
It was a disastrous victory, but it also showed the Ninth Senior Brother's extraordinary experience in dealing with the enemy.
In particular, the three-grade phantom talisman formed an unparalleled psychological pressure on the black-robed Daoist, coupled with a spirit talisman in the hand of the Xiyun County Lord, as well as Xu Chen's mysterious divine soul attack, in the end, the black-robed Daoist could only die of hatred in a panic.
Thinking back on this life-and-death struggle, Xu Chen felt that his cultivation was indeed outrageous, and his experience against the enemy was almost zero.
In the face of the black-robed monk, he barely had the slightest power to fight back, if it weren't for Yuzhu's might, he would be a complete burden.
Soon, Zhao Xuan led the two maids of the inn to come in with the food, and when she saw that Xu Chen had already sat up, she was even more pleased: "Senior brother seems to be really much better, so I can rest assured, I will go and call Senior Brother Nine over to eat together, and then discuss the arrangement." ”
Zhao Xuan asked people to put the food away, turned around and went to the next room, and soon, Senior Brother Jiu followed in with vague steps, and saw Xu Chen's face full of surprise and said: "It's good that Little Senior Brother is awake, it seems that we will be able to set off tomorrow!" ”
Zhao Xuan came in from behind, closed the door and whispered, "Senior brother, you and junior brother are just getting better, do you want to rest for two more days before leaving?" ”
Senior Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No, this matter is not small, if King Pingxi knows that the Xiyun County Lord is not dead, he will definitely not give up, and the origin of the black-robed Daoist is not simple, you must not stay here for too long, even if you want to cultivate, you must find a safe place." ”
Zhao Xuan nodded and said, "Then let's just go back to the mountain gate, otherwise the road will not be safe." ”
Senior Brother Jiu shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "This place is too far away from the mountain gate, even the sword will take at least two days, not to mention that at the moment, my junior brother and I are almost completely lost, and we can't fly at all, the other party can dispatch a master of the True Yuan Realm, I dare not guarantee that there will be no other helper, even if there is another guy in the late stage of the Kaiyuan Realm, we will definitely die, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place, we must rush to the Beijing Division as soon as possible, as long as we get to the Beijing Division, we have seen the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Even if the other party has a strong man from the Danyuan Realm, he won't dare to kill us easily. ”
Before Zhao Xuan could speak, Xu Chen also nodded and said: "What Senior Brother Jiu said is reasonable, not to mention that the master arranged for us to go to celebrate the emperor's birthday, if we return to the mountain gate and miss the birthday, it will also affect the reputation of our Taiyuan Gate, and now I feel a lot better, at most, I will slowly recuperate on the road, and I should be able to recover soon." ”
Seeing that both the brothers said this, Zhao Xuan stopped talking and beckoned the two to start eating.
The three of them ate and drank, and at the same time communicated with each other, Xu Chen realized that he had been in a coma for a day and a night, and he also knew that this place was not far from the valley of the battle, and in a small city called Wuyang, it was still very dangerous.
The ninth senior brother looked at Xu Chen's nervous face, and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying and comforted: "Little junior brother doesn't need to be too nervous, even if the eight kings have to send someone here, it will take at least a few days, not to mention that they have died a master of the True Yuan Realm, I am afraid that they will also throw a mouse taboo, after all, the True Yuan Realm is not a cabbage, even if one of the Yuqing Palace dies, it will hurt for a few years, although our Taiyuan Gate is far inferior to the Yuqing Palace, but it is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated, once this matter spreads, I am afraid that the Great Elder will also go to the Jingshi to ask for guilt, Bawang Mo said that he was just a mortal prince, even if he was the emperor, he still had to kneel and admit it. ”
Zhao Xuan, who had been cautious, suddenly showed a trace of confidence and pride, and said, "Senior Brother Ninth is right, and junior brother shouldn't worry too much." ”
Xu Chen nodded and said: "Since the senior brothers and sisters have said so, I am relieved, but this matter is a little strange, how did the Xiyun County Lord provoke the Eight Kings, and the black-clothed Daoist yesterday didn't seem to put the Eight Kings in his eyes at all, this Xiyun County Lord should have some unknown secrets, maybe it is not as simple as ordinary mortal things." ”
Senior Brother Nine and Zhao Xuan glanced at each other at the same time, and seemed to have suddenly thought of this layer, so after pondering for a while, Senior Brother Nine said: "Senior Brother's idea is very likely, originally I didn't plan to get involved in this matter, but since the person has been killed, and this beam has also been settled, it seems that the reason must be figured out, so hurry up and call the Lord of Xiyun County to ask carefully." ”
"Good!"
The three of them quickly cleaned up the table full of food, and after arranging for the maid to clean up, Zhao Xuan went out to find the county lord of Xiyun.
Soon, the Xiyun County Lord followed in, still looking like a woman dressed as a man, but he looked very uneasy, especially looking at Xu Chen and Senior Brother Jiu's eyes, obviously frightened.
"Zhao Qian meets the two immortal masters!" After entering the door, the lord of Xiyun County bowed his hand.
Senior Brother Jiu waved his hand slightly and said: "The county lord doesn't need to be polite, you have seen what happened yesterday, and we have been involved in it, but the so-called unjust debtors and owners, they are all coming for you, we Taiyuan Gate can't bear this disaster for you in vain, and you should know the reason for coming here." ”
The Xiyun County Lord's face was pale and trembled slightly, and he was silent for a long time before he choked up: "Zhao Qian doesn't dare to hide the three immortal masters, but this matter is very involved, and it has something to do with the Purple Yang Sect of the Ming Immortal Gate. ”
"Purple Sun Sect?"
Xu Chen and the three of them were stunned at the same time, and the ninth senior brother Huo Ran stood up, his face became extremely solemn and said: "In this case, you can't hide it, tell everything you know, and we can deal with it." ”
Zhao Qian nodded and said: "This matter starts from three years ago, my father was originally the Marquis of Xilu, and he fought with the Ming Kingdom all the year round because of guarding the border passes, but he also had some contacts in private......
"You don't need to say all this mess, you just need to tell what is involved with the Purple Sun Sect." Senior Brother Nine interrupted Lord Xiyun's words.
Zhao Qian's body trembled slightly, and she said softly:
"Three years ago, my father heard that there were ancient immortal relics at the junction of Xilu County and the Ming Kingdom, so he teamed up with the Zhendong Marquis on the border of the Ming Kingdom to secretly arrange for people to excavate, and later they really succeeded in digging out an ancient tomb.
However, the ancient tomb is very dangerous, hundreds of soldiers did not come out, and then had to secretly invite some immortal masters to go in to investigate, but they all went back, so my father and Zhendong Hou were nervous and scared, and there was a conflict in private, my father reported the matter to the king of Pingxi, and the king of Pingxi led the troops to directly intercept and kill the Mingguo Zhendonghou, and then drove thousands of soldiers into the ancient tomb again, and finally the ancient tomb was forcibly opened, and sure enough, the remains of immortals and several immortal treasures were found inside, What's even more bizarre is that the soldiers and monks who went in front of them to hunt for treasures have all turned into dried corpses.
My father thought that this matter was too important, and asked to report it to the court to deal with it secretly, but the king of Pingxi did not agree, and even wanted to kill my father, so my father had to flee, but in the end he was killed by the king of Pingxi, and before his death, my father arranged for someone to escort me back to the Song Kingdom, so that I must report the matter to the emperor.
King Pingxi was afraid of leaking the news, and he had been secretly arranging people to find and kill me, and I didn't dare to return to Beijing, so I could only hide everywhere, and finally hid in Nanyang City on the edge of southern Xinjiang.
This time the emperor's 100th birthday, I thought about going back to Beijing to try to see if I could find a chance to see the emperor to explain this matter, just three immortal masters set off with the caravan, and the city lord of Nanyang asked me to accompany me, but fortunately there was a response on the road, but I never thought that the king of Pingxi would track my whereabouts, so there was yesterday's incident. ”
