Chapter 51: The Survivors
Coming out of the Demon Sealing Land, Chen Meng looked at the demonic qi dispersed in the sky and let out a long sigh of relief.
The crisis of the Heavenly Demon is finally over. But I still have a lot to deal with.
Several people trekked back to the base area in Xishan and found the bodies of the disciples of the Hundred Refining Hall and Song Qing. The disciples of the Hundred Refining Hall died of demons, and Song Qing obviously committed suicide by wiping his neck.
Jiang Wenwan took out the Wanli Transmission Note from Song Qing's ring that he hadn't had time to use, and reported his safety to the outside as soon as possible.
Under Chen Meng's hint, Jiang Wenwan decided to blame the Heavenly Demon for everyone's deaths. Anyway, the extraterritorial Heavenly Demon is famous for its own murder, and it is not bad for these two lives.
As a result, Su Baishan, who was anxiously waiting for news outside the secret country, received such a message:
Chen Meng exterminated the Heavenly Demons. Song Qing fell into the devil and killed himself. The disciples of the Hundred Refining Hall jumped off the cliff into the demon. The disciples of the City Lord's Mansion were all killed in battle. The rest survived.
As for the remnants of Huayu Village, Chen Meng told the three of them that the news was completely blocked outside. If you know that there are ancient relics in this Yinshi Secret Realm, and they are all alchemists, the ghost knows what those people outside can do.
When Su Baishan got the news, he immediately notified the four major commercial houses and the City Lord's Mansion. The shopkeeper of the Bailian Hall rolled on the deck of the City Lord's Mansion and cried bitterly again, and the shopkeepers of the remaining three trading houses were all beside him.
After all, Su Baishan didn't feel good in his heart, and one of his own disciples died. But fortunately, there are still people alive, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
However, the reaction of the City Lord's Mansion was a little surprising, Li Yiyang's reaction to the untimely death of the four disciples was not great, as if it didn't matter, but when he heard that the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon was killed by Chen Meng, his face showed joy.
But after all, the news that Chen Meng killed the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon did not make much of a splash. Since Chen Meng became famous in Canglan City, everyone has been accustomed to seeing all kinds of impossibilities created by Chen Meng.
In addition, the news of the extraterritorial heavenly demons could not be known to many scattered cultivators. Several people discussed it for a while, and the news was spread as follows:
An ancient killing array appeared in the Yinshi Secret Territory, and all the disciples were trapped in it. The disciples of the City Lord's Mansion died in battle, the disciples of the Hundred Refining Hall died in battle, and the disciples of Yunyue Tower, Song Qing, died in battle.
In this way, it not only explained the body of the disciples, but also hid the matter of the extraterritorial heavenly demons well. As for the dead disciples, Yunyue Tower and Bailian Hall have their own families that give rewards to their disciples, only the City Lord's Mansion has nothing to say, as if the dead are just four dispensable tools.
Besides, in the secret realm, the four people who survived, Chen Meng asked Lu Pingsheng and Liu Yunyun to guard the pavilion, and he took Jiang Wenwan out to find someone.
"Where are we going?" Jiang Wenwan asked.
"Just follow along." Chen Meng didn't have time to explain these things. Wan Liao is dead, and he has to hurry up to confirm Jia Yaoxin's situation, not to mention that there must be a mess to clean up in Huayu Village.
The two hurried and hurried to Wan Liao's secret cave in Xishan, and Chen Meng saw a giant ape blocking the door of the entire cave from a distance.
"Yoko-chan?" Chen Meng was a little unsure, but still shouted from afar.
When Xiao Yangzi saw Chen Meng coming, he looked up to the sky happily and shouted, his body suddenly became smaller, and he turned into the little monkey chasing Chen Meng and begging for fruit to eat, and looked at Jiang Wenwan behind Chen Meng, looking a little puzzled.
Chen Meng casually took out an enlightenment fruit and handed it to Jiang Wenwan. "What are you giving me this thing for?" Jiang Wenwan asked.
"Feed him. Tell him you have no ill will. Chen Meng didn't care about Jiang Wenwan and Xiao Yangzi, because Jia Yaoxin ran out of the cave quickly.
"Brother Chen Meng! Brother Chen Meng, are you okay? ”
"I'm fine." Chen Meng shook his head, "How did you survive the Heavenly Demon Qi?" Many of our disciples have been sacrificed. ”
"Huh? Are you saying that day turned purple? Jia Yaoxin blinked.
"Yes."
"Xiao Yangzi has absorbed all the purple demonic energy."
"What?" Chen Meng couldn't believe his ears, "Xiao Yangzi can absorb demonic energy?" ”
He lifted Xiao Yangzi, who was blinking at Jiang Wenwan and eating peaches defenselessly, Xiao Yangzi was startled and babbled in protest.
"Can you absorb demonic energy?"
Xiao Yangzi nodded.
"What kind of breed are you?" Chen Meng couldn't help but be a little curious.
When Xiao Yangzi heard Chen Meng ask this question, he suddenly came to his senses, broke free from Chen Meng, jumped to the ground, and began to compare paintings. One moment it is like a line of soldiers, and the other time it is like a spear in hand to kill the enemy; After meditating and cultivating respectfully, he suddenly danced as if he was celebrating something.
"I don't understand." Chen Meng shook his head.
Xiao Yangzi punched Chen Meng's calf with both fists in protest.
"Forget it. Sooner or later I'll have to figure it out. Chen Meng thought about it, and estimated that this kid was also some kind of ancient xenomorph.
At this moment, Jiang Wenwan saw Jia Yaoxin, and Jia Yaoxin also saw Jiang Wenwan. Jia Yaoxin is dressed plainly, revealing the quiet elegance of the mountains; Jiang Wenwan is dressed luxuriously, and she has a little more drunken spirit. Both of them were shocked by each other's unique temperament for a while, and after a while, Jiang Wenwan spoke: "What are you?" Is the gold house hidden? ”
"Can you please stop talking nonsense." Chen Meng was a little speechless, "Let me introduce, this is Jia Yaoxin, a small villager in Huayu Village, and this is Jiang Wenwan, a disciple of Yunyue Tower." ”
"My sister is so beautiful." Jia Yaoxin looked at Jiang Wenwan with some envy.
"My sister has a good temperament." Jiang Wenwan took Jia Yaoxin's hand.
Chen Meng sighed. I can't understand women in my life. That's it. beckoned, and Xiao Yangzi jumped onto Chen Meng's shoulder.
"Let's go back to Huayu Village."
Xiao Yangzi sat on Chen Meng's shoulder, full of pride, and raised his hand straight into the distance.
The two walked along the secret road in the mountains for a day and a night, and came to Huayu Village. Fortunately, Huayu Village is in the southeast, and the surging demonic qi in the northwest has not affected Huayu Village much, and the villagers of Huayu Village are still the same as before, living and working in peace and contentment.
Seeing Chen Meng coming back, a villager beckoned: "Chen Gongzi, when the patriarch left, he left a letter for you in the ancestral hall." ”
"Thank you." Chen Mengluo arched his hand, walked to the ancestral hall, and saw a letter on the incense table in the ancestral hall. A few words were written on the envelope: "Chen Meng's little friends respectfully".
Opening the envelope, Chen Meng knew everything about it, including the mural depicting Chen Meng piercing his dantian, and Chen Meng finally wiped off the dust and saw the whole picture.
Wan Liao is dying for himself. Chen Meng sighed. But I still don't believe in the prophecy of this mural. If it weren't for this tattered mural, Wan Liao would not be willing to die.
That's it. It is a fact that Wan Liao is dead, and the next thing he has to do is to fulfill Wan Liao's last wish.
Wan Liao made it very clear in his letter to Chen Meng that he hoped that one day, his people would be able to walk out of the narrow four mountain boundaries, go to the outside world, and live a normal life.
But it is also unrealistic for Chen Meng to take so many people out at one time. After thinking about it, he called the five protectors who had formed a battle with him at the beginning, and told them the news of Wan Liao's death.
Chen Meng asked them to elect a new patriarch as soon as possible, and then they would no longer care about the affairs of Huayu Village for the time being, let them develop on their own, and when the time was ripe, they would take them away.
On the second day, a stone tablet was erected on the mountain behind Huayu Village, which was engraved with six big characters: "The tomb of the patriarch Wan Liao." ”
There are no bones. It's a well-dressed mound.
Chen Meng sat next to the mound for a whole night, and poured the soaked green silk and green green on the ground in front of the mound one by one.
On the second day, Chen Meng left Huayu Village and found Jiang Wenwan and Jia Yaoxin. Jiang Wenwan had already told Jia Yaoxin about the death of the old man Wan Liao, Jia Yaoxin had been crying all night, and she was still crying, Jiang Wenwan was busy comforting her.
The little monkey jumped off Chen Meng's shoulder and jumped in front of Jia Yaoxin, dancing with his hands, as if he wanted to say something.
Jia Yaoxin hugged the little monkey into her arms and cried even louder.
Chen Meng sighed softly and left alone, sitting on the top of Xishan Mountain, holding the Qinglan Sword, overlooking the lake in front of him.
The path of cultivating immortals is like this, dividing and merging, gathering less and leaving more. When I first picked up the rags for the pawn shop, some of my friends lost their lives at a young age for various reasons every year. Chen Meng thought that he could see the matter of life and death, but he didn't expect that when the person who was really very important to him left him, his heart was still uncontrollably full of loss.
The ancients said that they did not know life, but they did not know death. Not knowing death is an empty word, but if you say that you know death, no one will believe it. But people will one day know that they will die, and one day they will turn into a wisp of green smoke and dissipate in this heaven and earth.
The path of immortality sought by immortal cultivators is ethereal. The longevity of the monk in the foundation building period is only six or seven hundred years, the golden pill is only a thousand years, and the yuan baby is only two thousand years. How many people have sought the true way of immortality throughout the ages?
The more Chen Meng thought about it, the more confused he became, and he simply didn't want to. Holding the sword, he looked at the lake in the distance in a daze.
Seeing that the day when a few people would leave the secret realm was getting closer and closer, Chen Meng began to worry about what identity to take Jia Yaoxin out. If it is said that Jia Yaoxin is related to the extraterritorial heavenly demons, then Jia Yaoxin is estimated to be dragged away by a few old monsters for a while. But other than that, there seems to be no good way to explain why Jia Yaoxin suddenly appeared in everyone's ranks.
Because of this, Chen Meng was so worried that he couldn't eat. Jiang Wenwan saw Chen Meng's worries, this kid was not in the mood to do anything else these days, every day in addition to eating and sleeping, he climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at the lake in the distance and sighed.
"What's wrong with you?" On this day, Jiang Wenwan secretly followed Chen Meng to the top of the mountain, and looked at Chen Meng who was still frowning, and couldn't help asking.
"Why did you get up?" Chen Meng was taken aback.
"You have a sad face every day, I can't come up and ask what's going on."
"Nothing." Chen Meng shook his head, "It's just that I can't think of any good way to take Jia Yaoxin out." You said that if someone asks why there is suddenly one more person, how can I explain it? ”
"That's it?"
"That's right. Do you have a way? ”
Jiang Wenwan thought for a moment, "My suggestion is that when the time comes, let's carry her out, just say that it is Song Qing's corpse that is carried, and when the time comes, everything will be easy to do when we get on the flying boat of Yunyue Tower." ”
"This is a solution, but wouldn't it be a little strange that we only took Song Qing's corpse out, and the remaining five people who died were not taken out."
"That's no way, now the only way to make a name for it is this, and you are close to Yunyuelou, and I am a disciple of Yunyuelou, so it is reasonable to take Song Qing out."
"Let's talk about it. Let me think again. When I really got on the flying boat of your Yunyue Tower, Su Baishan asked me, what should I do? ”
"When the time comes, I'll explain to my shopkeeper that you can just take her away. You'd better think about how to deal with the City Lord's Mansion, if my guess is right, Li Yiyang is waiting for you outside now. ”
"Oh. And that city lord's mansion. Chen Meng had a headache, how could he forget him.
