Chapter 26: The Vicissitudes of Life

Syllable!

Ling Xiang only used a slap to stunned a few unlucky boys.

Because the person who was beaten was directly slapped by her and flew upside down three feet away, fell to the ground with a nosebleed, and even two teeth were knocked out.

"My teeth...... Wow!! ”

The person who was clamoring to beat Ling Xiang a moment ago covered his face at this moment, looked at the two blood-stained silver-white teeth that spit out of his mouth, and tore his throat on the spot and cried.

Seeing this, the other children dared to step forward and make a move, and they were so frightened that they took a few steps back, and then turned around and ran.

For fear of being left behind.

Ling Xiang naturally didn't have the heart to chase after her, if it weren't for the fact that these people were going to come up and do it without saying a word, she didn't even think about revenge for being chased and hiding in the reeds that day.

It's just that these people are to blame.

Glancing at the little boy sitting on the ground crying, she walked over with her feet up.

When the little boy saw her coming towards him, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry for a while, and he hugged his head and begged for mercy: "No...... Don't hit me, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore......"

God is pitiful, he has grown so big, and his father didn't beat him so ruthlessly!

Since he was a child, he has been the king of children in the village, he has grown tall and strong, no one dares to bully him, he is used to being domineering, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate today.

Seeing that Ling Xiang had already walked in front of him step by step, the little boy raised his head, his eyes were teary, and he didn't even dare to speak.

Just when he thought that Ling Xiang was going to continue to do something to him, and he was trembling with fright, Ling Xiang didn't stop at all, and walked directly past him, gradually moving away.

The little boy was stunned.

After half a ring, he confirmed that he was indeed safe, and then he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced.

He hurriedly got up from the ground, didn't bother to pat off the dust on his body, and ran back to his village without looking back.

……

A few days later.

Ling Xiang, who was walking alone in the wilderness, smelled a familiar fragrance.

Her eyes lit up, and she followed the taste, and soon found a cliff underneath.

When I looked up, I saw a strange plant with verdant leaves and nine purple stamens swaying in the wind on the cliff.

The refreshing fragrance kept coming, making Ling Xiang's whole body a little lighter.

It was the same orchid with purple flowers that I encountered last year.

Ling Xiang asked the ram Yongming, this kind of orchid grass folk called it Purple Moon Lotus.

At that time, the old man once said frankly, saying that if according to Ling Xiang's words, the aroma of this orchid grass is so strange, it must not be an ordinary thing.

Most of them absorbed some kind of heaven and earth creation, something similar to the earth's leyline spirit milk, and thus evolved into a rare spirit grass.

Good thing it's still there!

They were not taken away or eaten by birds or animals.

Ling Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly raised his vigilance.

With such a fragrant spirit grass, there shouldn't be no living beings fighting it, and there is probably something nearby guarding it.

She looked around carefully and, as expected, found some "clues".

Near that Purple Moon Lotus, there was a layer of tiny silver filaments that were barely visible to the naked eye.

It's like a few big nets, densely packed, protecting the purple moon lotus perfectly, with almost no dead ends and loopholes.

It was supposed to be some kind of spider left.

As long as something is close to the Purple Moon Lotus, it will definitely touch those silver threads and be discovered by the "master".

Ling Xiang brushed aside the weeds in front of him, and under the purple moon lotus, he really found some bone remains.

Amazingly, the bones contained not only the tiny bones of birds, but also several rather large leg bones, apparently left behind by some powerful beast.

And the bones are all blackened, and it is clear that they have been completely eroded by the toxin before they die.

There are only cobwebs, not poisonous spiders that cover them......

It must be quietly hiding somewhere, waiting for the prey to come to the door.

Ling Xiang immediately raised his vigilance, opened his spiritual sense, and paid attention to the grass and trees around him.

In the air, the fragrance of the purple moon lotus is still intoxicating.

Ling Xiang frowned, she didn't dare to rush forward to pick it when she didn't find the creature guarding this spirit grass.

A moment later, she chose to fly into the air, ready to go around to the other side of the cliff to find her target, but suddenly found something even more surprising -

This cliff is not naturally formed!

"This ...... How does it look like the torso of an ancient tree after it has fallen? Ling Xiang's eyes widened, and he was particularly shocked.

She flew around the cliff, checking back and forth several times, and finally confirmed her guess.

In the distant past, on the left side of the "cliff", there was a towering ancient tree that had grown for an unknown number of years. Its trunk is thick, like a dragon rising from the ground, and its dense canopy covers the sky and the sun.

After thousands of years, or thousands of years, in short, it condenses the essence of the sun and the moon, and when it is about to transform into the Tao, it ushers in the torture of the will of heaven and earth.

Thunderstorm is coming!

The massive thunderbolt shattered its canopy and branches, and extinguished its idea of transforming into a Taoist.

The entire ancient tree was broken and split by the Thunder Tribulation Qi Gen.

Eventually, the cracked old tree fell to the ground, half of it sinking into the dirt, and the other half became an abrupt ridge on the flat ground.

The longitudinal section that was split by the heavenly thunder became the cliff that Ling Xiang saw in front of him.

"Yes, it's no wonder that the Purple Moon Lotus can evolve into a spirit grass." Ling Xiang suddenly realized.

"Although the ancient wood that died by the thunder of the sky has scattered most of its essence, it has been cultivated for many years after all, as long as there is a little residue, it is enough to raise a lot of rarities."

"For endless years, there may have been a little medicine king. Now there is only this one orchid grass, most of which has reached the time of complete decay, and it is impossible to raise other spirit plants. ”

After finding out the cause of this cliff, Ling Xiang sighed with emotion, but couldn't help but be silent for a while.

Cultivation is really a difficult path to fight against heaven and earth.

Perhaps, at some point, half a lifetime of penance will turn into ashes, and everything will be empty.

No one knows if they will be able to make the leap.

Just like this ancient tree, it has been sucking the essence of the sun and the moon for thousands of years, and it seems that it is about to transform into a Tao, but it dies under the thunder tribulation, and becomes the nourishment that nourishes other living beings.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. I didn't understand this when Master said this before, but now I understand it. Ling Xiang whispered softly.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a hint of murder.

Ling Xiang looked up, and it turned out to be a goshawk with a wingspan of more than two zhang.

The other party took her as a prey and was rushing towards her from a high altitude.

Between the lightning and flint, Ling Xiang had an idea and thought about it.

Zhengchou didn't know how to test where the poisonous spider guarding the spirit grass was hiding and what his strength was, but a pathfinder took the initiative to send it.

Ling Xiang stood still, pretending not to notice the goshawk's appearance, and when the goshawk approached, he pretended to panic and stabbed towards the purple moon lotus below.
