Chapter 149: Metaphor
"Demon, look for death." The two disciples of the night vigil let out an angry roar, and then they each took out a black giant from their bodies and slashed at the snake demon.
Only listened to the dinging sound twice, and the specially made vigil giant slashed at the demon snake, but it only burst out two starlight, and it could not cut through the black scales on the demon snake's body.
The snake demon was in pain, shook his head, and instantly pounced on a night vigil disciple.
Another vigil disciple struggled to come back to the rescue, but was suddenly flicked by the snake demon and flew out.
"Demon, you dare to hurt people, you are looking for death."
At this moment, in mid-air, there was an angry shout, and then a coffin fell from the sky and blasted towards the snake demon.
The black python shook its tail and stiffened the coffin that fell from the sky, and for a while, only a loud sound was heard, and the coffin was only half a step back, and its entire body was also shaken back half a foot by the force of the shock.
At this time, I saw two men standing on top of the coffin, one of whom was a monk who built the foundation.
Seeing that it was a foundation monk who was playing with the coffin to attack him, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he began to prepare to retreat.
Elder Zhuji also discovered its abnormality, and said angrily: "I hurt someone, and I still want to escape, is it too underestimated to underestimate me." ”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly said and got up.
The coffin moved, flew up, and landed in the direction behind the black python, preventing it from escaping.
"Hiss!" Seeing that his retreat was blocked, the black python stared at the foundation monk in front of him with a pair of snake eyes, and let out a fierce sound.
Elder Zhuji didn't know when he also took out a black giant stick, stared at the movements of the black python, and said, "You take them away first, don't let the snake demon hurt the innocent." ”
He said this to the night vigil disciple beside him, and when the night vigil disciple heard his words, he replied: "Got it, elder, the disciple will go and take them away." ”
After the night vigil disciple finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Lin Jingzhen.
"Hiss!"
The black python suddenly raised its head and made a diving attack, and Elder Zhuji was already preparing to respond to the enemy, cautiously watching the snake demon's movements.
"Bang!" The black python suddenly flapped its tail, turned around, and fled to the right.
"Where to run." Elder Zhuji shouted, and the tail flick had already fallen, and he swung it to block, and with a loud bang, the whole person sank down half an arm's depth.
"What a power!" At the same time as this thought flashed, Elder Zhuji had already controlled his natal corpse slave, opened the coffin, bricked out, and then pounced towards the black phosphorus snake.
"Bang bang bang! In the blink of an eye, Elder Zhuji's corpse slave was already fighting with the Black Phosphorus Snake.
Elder Zhuji's corpse slave was a bronze corpse, but the body of the black phosphorus snake was also a scoundrel, and all of a sudden, he was fighting with the bronze corpse.
However, Elder Zhuji soon joined the battlefield, and under the crushing of the strength of the two Zhuji monks, the Black Phosphorus Snake quickly ran out of strength and was killed on the spot.
After killing the Black Phosphorus Snake, the Zhuji Elder took out a snake gall from the snake's body and threw it at Zhao Ling'er's feet.
"Eat it to get rid of the snake venom from you." After the Elder Zhuji finished speaking, he beckoned his corpse slave into the coffin, and then he walked to the snake demon's body, opened the Gift Ring, put the snake demon into the Gift Ring, and then drove the coffin and left.
The Zhuji Elder came and went as fast as he could, and in the blink of an eye, there were a few night watchmen and Lin Jingzhen and the others left.
Lin Jingyi picked up the snake gall bladder and fed it to Zhao Ling'er's mouth.
Zhao Ling'er was not ambiguous, and swallowed the snake gall when she opened her mouth, and the snake gall was bitter and fishy, making her handsome little face suddenly become a bitter gourd face.
"Xiao Ling, is this your natal corpse slave?" A night watchman stared at Lin Jingzhen very curiously, he was very puzzled in his heart, how did this thin and powerless young man save Zhao Ling'er from the hands of the snake demon, and besides, they had just fought together with their own corpse slaves, and they couldn't get the slightest bargain from the snake demon.
"Yes, he is my corpse slave, and I personally fed him corpse stones." Zhao Ling'er was afraid that others would doubt Lin Jingyi's identity, so she hurriedly said that she had personally fed him and eaten the corpse stone.
After hearing this, the night vigil disciple smiled embarrassedly, he naturally doubted whether Lin Jingzhen would be impersonated by a corpse, at this time, I heard Zhao Ling'er say that he personally fed the corpse stone, it would definitely not be fake, after all, if he fed the corpse stone, how could he not become a corpse.
"Then let's go, you can hurry home." After the night watch disciple finished speaking, he left with his corpse slave with the support of another night watch disciple.
In the blink of an eye, the three people and three corpses also disappeared into the night.
"Big brother, can you carry me back? It's inconvenient for me. ”
Lin Jingzhen didn't speak, and immediately lowered his body and picked her up.
Zhao Ling'er felt the tough back in front of her, and then she thought of her dead father, and sorrow came from it, "If you are a living person, Ling'er can at least have one to rely on, but you are not, and you can only rely on Ling'er herself in the future." ”
Zhao Ling'er said as she spoke, and tears flowed down again.
Lin Jingzhen still didn't respond to her, and at this time he didn't know whether to comfort him, saying that he was a living person, but he thought about it, he would have to leave here in the future, and everything would depend on her in the future.
Lin carried her back to the courtyard, and then returned to the coffin.
And Chen Xu Niang next door heard the movement and rushed over, and after she found out about Zhao Ling'er's injury, she stayed to take care of him.
Time passed little by little, until the third day, two coffins suddenly flew into space, and several people stood on each coffin.
The two coffins landed and landed outside Zhao Ling'er's courtyard.
Then seven people walked down from the two coffins, and they pushed open the door of the courtyard and walked in.
Lin was stunned to find them from afar, and he didn't know what they were doing with the crowd.
The few people who came in just glanced at Lin Jingjing in the coffin in the corner, and without saying anything, they shifted their eyes and walked towards Zhao Ling'er's bedroom.
"Elder Chen, why are you here?" It was the voice of Chen Xu Niang.
"Come and see Xiao Ling, and ask him some words by the way."
"Okay, Xiao Ling just ate, then you guys go in first and ask, he will have to rest later."
"Okay, then you go and get busy with yours first." That Elder Chen seemed to be an old acquaintance with Chen Xu Niang, and the two spoke very politely.
Then, Chen Xu Niang walked out of the yard and left with a basket.
"Xiao Ling'er."
"Chen, Elder Chen?"
"Let's call Uncle Chen."
"Oh good." Zhao Ling'er paused, and then said, "Elder Chen, if you want to ask me, just ask, I just heard you talking to Chen Xu Niang." ”
"Okay." Elder Chen didn't bother to correct her words, "Did you see Elder Yi kill that snake demon that night, right?" ”
"Elder Yi?" Zhao Ling'er didn't know who Elder Yi was.
At this time, a man beside Elder Chen said, "It was the Outer Gate Elder who rescued us from the snake demon's mouth that night, and he also fed you the snake gall bladder. ”
Zhao Ling'er suddenly realized, "It turns out that he is Elder Yi." ”
"Continue to reply to Uncle Chen's words, whether Elder Yi killed that snake demon."
"Yes." Zhao Linger replied.
"Did he dig up the snake gall for you himself?"
"Hmm."
"Have you seen each other again since that day apart?"
"Nope." Zhao Linger replied.
"Then do you know that Elder Yi is dead?"
"Dead?" Zhao Ling'er was stunned, "He, how did he die?" ”
"We don't know, the cause of his death is now being investigated, and we haven't found the body of the snake in his ring." Elder Chen paused and continued to ask, "Did you really see him put that snake demon into the Gift Ring?" ”
"Okay, I guess so."
"Don't say like, we just have the right answer."
"I don't know very well, but I saw that after Elder Yi dug up the snake gall, and then the snake body was gone, I guess, it should be Elder Yi put it away." Zhao Linger said.
"Then I see." Elder Chen nodded, and suddenly asked again, "Who rescued you from under Shekou at that time?" ”
"Isn't it Elder Yi? These senior brothers all saw that the snake demon was killed by Elder Yi. Zhao Ling'er pointed to a few people next to him and said.
"I mean, who was the first person to save you from under the Shekou?"
"My natal corpse slave." Zhao Linger replied.
"Your corpse slave? You are only a Qi Cultivation Layer, what skills can your corpse slave have to save you from a Black Phosphorus Snake who is a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer? Elder Chen couldn't believe what Zhao Ling'er said.
"I'm on the second level of Qi training now." Zhao Ling'er corrected Elder Chen's slip of the tongue, "These senior brothers were all present at the time, and they could testify." ”
Elder Chen turned his head to look at the senior brothers she was referring to, and those disciples nodded and said, "Elder Chen, what Senior Sister said is right, it was indeed her corpse slave who saved her, and we also saw it at that time. ”
"Oh, I'm curious about her corpse slave, is it the one we just saw lying in the coffin outside?"
"Yes, Elder."
"Well, I'll meet him later." Elder Chen paused, and then said, "Let me see if Ling'er's toxin has been removed." ”
"Okay." Zhao Ling'er said and let Elder Chen put his hand on his vein.
"The toxins have really been removed." Elder Chen nodded, then let go of his hand, "Have a good rest." ”
After Elder Chen finished speaking, he walked out of Zhao Ling'er's bedroom with someone and walked in the direction of Lin Jing.
Lin Jingzhen naturally listened to their conversation just now, and when he saw that Elder Chen walked towards him, he restrained the breath on his body.
Elder Chen walked to the side of the coffin, looked at the thin young corpse slave in front of him, and couldn't help but be curious, "This small body can save Zhao Ling'er under the Shekou, he definitely shouldn't be a qi practitioner before his death, I'm afraid he is also a foundation building monk." ”
Elder Chen was only a foundation building monk, so naturally he couldn't tell that Lin Jingzhen was actually a living person dressed up, after all, when he was on Moxuan Peak, his technique of stealing the sky and changing the sun could hide from that Yuanying monk, not to mention this foundation building monk.
Elder Chen glanced at him a few times, but did not see his abnormality, and left with someone in the coffin.
After seeing them leave, Lin was relieved, but it suddenly reminded him of how that Elder Yi died at that time? And didn't he put away the snake demon's body, how could it disappear out of thin air, is there another metaphor in this?
He didn't know what was wrong with this, and he wasn't very curious, but it made him suddenly think that the snake demon that appeared that night was accidental or purposeful, and as for Elder Yi's death, whether it was related to the snake demon, he didn't know.
At this time, Chen Xu Niang had already returned, still carrying a basket in her hand, but the basket seemed to be a little worn out and heavy.
"Ling'er, what did Uncle Chen ask you?" Chen Xu asked.
"I just asked something about that night." Zhao Linger said.
"Did he mention anything else?"
"I mentioned it, he said that Elder Yi is dead."
"Elder Yi? Is that the elder who saved you that night? ”
"Hmm." Zhao Ling'er was puzzled: "Don't you know,?" ”
Chen Xu Niang said: "Xu Niang has been taking care of you for the past few days, and I naturally don't know what happened outside." ”
"It's me who misunderstood." Zhao Linger said.
"Don't talk about anything to misunderstand, you lie down well, don't move, in a few days, you will be able to get out of bed and walk."
"Thank you,." Zhao Linger said.
"still have a little thing to deal with, I'll come and see you in the evening."
"Okay,."
"Remember to eat the pastries on the bow of the boat while they are hot." After Chen Xu Niang finished speaking, she turned around and left.
", but I've just eaten enough."
"Oh, that's going to be eaten at night, come over at night and I'll help you warm it up." After Chen Xu Niang finished speaking, she turned around and left.
"Why do you think Chen is a little inexplicable?" Zhao Ling'er looked at the back of Chen Xu Niang in the distance, and always felt a little strange.
"No matter, why do I feel dizzy this time." Zhao Ling'er muttered, then closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin was shocked to see Chen Xu Niang coming and leaving, feeling a little strange, and just about to follow her, he suddenly saw three sneaky breaths sneaking towards this side.
"Who is the owner of these three breaths? Why sneak here? Do you want to come for Miss Zhao Linger? Let's take a look first. ”
The three breaths crept out of the courtyard, and then looked for an opportunity and jumped in.
They were all dressed in black, their faces covered, and they couldn't see their expressions clearly, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.
They jumped into the courtyard, and then separated two of them and rushed towards Lin Jingyi, and the other ran towards Zhao Ling'er in the bedroom in the courtyard.
Lin was stunned, what are these three people going to do, who ordered them? How do you feel that they walk so stiffly? Could it be......
He made a good move, first used the escape method to escape to the bedroom, stopped the person who rushed to Zhao Ling'er, rescued Zhao Ling'er, and then used the escape method to escape back into the coffin, and cleaned up the two black-clothed people who rushed to him together.
This back and forth rescue and cleaning up the three people together only happened in an instant, this moment, but it was only two breaths.
After cleaning up the three people, he also found that these three people turned out to be the corpses of people who were manipulated as he thought.
Moreover, these three people looked like they had been dead for a long time, with a fresh face, and Lin Jingzhen didn't know if they were disciples of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, or if they were corpses sold from outside.
There are many sects that can control corpses, but whether it is the people of the Heavenly Corpse Sect who manipulate them to check their own reality or kill Zhao Ling'er is unknown, but he feels that no matter who it is, it may not be according to good intentions.
Therefore, after stopping the actions of the three people, he threw them all into the receiving ring, cutting off their contact with the corpse controller, and after learning that the corpse under his control had lost contact with him, that person would definitely be worried, and even jealous.
But Lin Jingzhen definitely wouldn't let him happen, so after stopping the three of them from acting, Lin Jingzhen used another escape technique, escaped a few miles away, and then threw the three corpses out of his stop, so that the corpse controller had a new grasp of the connection with the corpse.
If the corpse controller is an outsider, they will mistakenly think that the corpse under their control has lost its way, but it will not be ruled out that they have been mischievoked.
If the corpse controller was a member of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, they naturally wouldn't think that the corpse they controlled would be lost, but they would be afraid of the person who played a prank on them.
As for who is the prankster? For the time being, they haven't suspected Lin Jingzhen's corpse, but over time, they will definitely have some suspicions.
But Lin Jingzhen just wanted to pretend to be foggy like this and confuse their sight, after all, they didn't know that his corpse actually had the magic power of retreat.
As long as they suspect that someone is protecting Zhao Ling'er, they will not pull Zhao Ling'er down for the time being, and they will also be afraid to protect Zhao Ling'er's person, after all, the person who sent the three corpses out quietly and without a trace will definitely not be much lower.
But if they thought that Zhao Ling'er really knew something and insisted on killing Zhao Ling'er to kill them, then the kind of pretense of mystery before would definitely not be able to stop them, so when the storm was about to come, they could only take shelter under the eaves......
