Chapter Twenty-Eight
Although there were some branches and leaves left the night before, the old locust tree still looked down on the courtyard, and the heavy rain of the past two days washed it very clean and transparent, and the sunlight with just the right temperature fell into the courtyard through the gaps between the leaves, and when the wind blew, the shadows of the broken gold pieces danced together.
Pei Ye walked through the dappled light and shadow to the front hall, came to the front of the hall, knocked the soles of his shoes twice on the steps in front of the door, and the white and yellow dry soil fell.
As soon as the door was pushed, there were three strangers with excellent temperament sitting in the hall, all of whom were tall and tall, like military officials in the imperial court. Its clothing, whether it is cloth or style, can not be seen in Fenghuai County, and the first impression of its appearance and temperament is the four words "heroes among people".
If we compare people to birds, the common ones in Fenghuai are sparrows, yesterday the adults from the state were like thrushes, and today these three are two cranes and herons and an eagle.
At first, it was a dignified-looking, wheat-skinned man, as if a mountain was standing there, and the whole space seemed to be pressed into and sunk into him.
The second is a much younger woman, with fair skin, a beautiful and quiet face, and she is still wearing trousers on her lower body, but the hem of her upper body is much longer, which makes her look more chic and neat.
The third man was younger than the woman, and his skin was just as fair, and although he was sitting and listening, the details revealed an unstable temperament.
Sweeping everyone at a glance, Pei Ye bowed his head and arched his hand: "Hello adults." ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Pei Li felt that as soon as he came in, the atmosphere changed from the previous solemnity to a little tense.
But Chang Zhiyuan's calm face was a little pale, and he greeted him affectionately to his side, and pointed out them one by one according to the order of seats: "I've seen a few adults first-Lord Jing Ziwang, the commander of Honzhou Zhichong, Lord Xing Yi, the black ribbon warlock of Shenjing Immortal Tai, and Lord Shang Lang, the halberd of Zuo Longwujun." Several adults, this is Pei Li's young man who relieved the county's difficulties, he is clever and calm, and he is brave. ”
Pei Ye bowed in turn, and the other party also looked at him.
The young man in front of him is extraordinarily tall, with a tall posture and clear eyebrows, although he is a little childish, but his temperament is quiet, neither humble nor arrogant, and he is called "reliable".
Xing Yi smiled and saluted, while Shang Lang leaned back and clasped his fists in return.
Jing Ziwang only stared at him expressionlessly, turned his head to Chang Zhiyuan and said: "Lord Chang, the tragedy is right in front of you, the magic weapon enshrined by the enemy is integrated with him, who knows what will happen?" Again, I must control this person in order to keep the peace of my hometown. ”
Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to look directly at this Jing Du Lieutenant. This action seemed to anger him a little, the man's eyes narrowed, and the pressure that was as thick as the substance suddenly fell, Pei Li's hair stood on end, and he almost wanted to draw his sword, but the dantian planted a small cockroach, and the pressure on his body was light, and at the same time, the calm and cold voice of the god cocktail sounded in his heart: "Want to help?" ”
But soon it seemed to sense the situation here, and said, "Oh, forget it, you can't beat this anyway." ”
“……”
Chang Zhiyuan grabbed his wrist and pulled it behind him, and the white-haired sword eyes looked at Jing Ziwang without giving in, and said calmly: "I will also tell Lord Jing again, you didn't protect anyone, but the young man in front of you saved Feng Huai from fire and water." ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Xing Yi said softly: "The two adults are at ease." This Pei Shaoxia, why don't you allow me to check one or two for you. ”
This is exactly the purpose of Pei Ye who has been waiting for this team of Shenjing envoys, nodding at the moment and coming to the side of this sorceress.
Untie the cloth strap around your arm and place the infected right arm on the table. In the past two days, the blue has climbed like a vine to the middle of the arm.
Xing Yi stretched out two fingers and slowly slid along a blood vessel from head to tail, a subtle aura beating around her fingertips.
This is the first time Pei Li has seen this kind of power that is different from true qi, it is more agile and subtle, but it is less mellow and sharp.
After feeling it, Xing Yi raised his fingers, condensed a small and sharp spiritual qi needle, and pressed it into Pei Li's blood vessels, while looking at Pei Li's expression with both eyes.
Pei Ye felt that there was a surge of energy in his forearm rushing left and right, but it was quickly swallowed up by the dark blue liquid.
"A very tame, stable force." Xing Yu wrote it down in his notebook.
"I'll take a look at your dantian again." The woman's voice was calming.
Pei Ye took a step back, and Xing Yi put his hand on it. This time, it was not stimulated by the aura needle again, but a softer power mist seeped in, slowly enveloping the light cluster. But the swimming cockroach seems to be on another level different from both and is undisturbed.
This time, Pei Ye had a more obvious feeling - the light cluster seemed to have turned into a wind tunnel, and it turned around, sucking in all the surrounding aura mist.
Xing Yi was slightly startled, raised his hand, and said with a frown: "It's basically the same." ”
"What's the same?" Pei Li asked.
"After hearing about this case, I asked Taichung overnight to transfer the materials of the Candle World Sect for 50 years, turning people into evil monsters, and then transforming them into this substance in a special way, which is what they were doing back then." Xing Yi said, "But at that time, the other party did not hold a ceremony to inject this substance into the human body. In fact, it was impossible at the time, because the energy was very irritable and extremely infectious, and once a person came into contact with it, they would either die on the spot or become that kind of monster. ”
Pei Ye couldn't help but look down at his stomach.
"But you're different this time. Although the essence of this substance has not changed, it still devours everything around it in order to strengthen itself. But it seems to be docile, or much wiser, and has learned to live with its host. ”
"What exactly is this substance?"
Xing Yi shook his head: "Its level is extremely high, whether it is aura, true qi, flesh and blood, magic weapons, or even plants, they can all be assimilated and then devoured by it. We don't know where it came from, the Immortal Terrace has only seen this kind of thing in events related to the Candle World Sect so far. At that time, there were two speculations in Taichung, one was that it was an independent energy that was completely different from any matter in the world; The other holds that on the contrary, it is the 'one' that encompasses all the material things in the world. ”
Jing Ziwang narrowed his eyes and interjected, "What an amazing statement." ”
"Yes, no matter what kind of speculation it is, it involves an extremely high level, but the Candle World Sect that has mastered it does not seem to have this qualification."
Pei Ye was silent for a moment and said, "Taiyi True Dragon Immortal Monarch." ”
Xing Yi was taken aback: "Yes, it turns out that you already know." Actually, in our experience as warlocks, it's not a good thing to know this name, so I didn't tell you. ”
"But even if you mention the name, I can't tell you more. Because Taichung has never found any trace of this 'immortal monarch'. ”
"Is there really a god in the world?" Pei Li asked.
Xing Yi was silent for a moment, and affirmed: "No." Since the beginning of the six thousand years, although there have been endless people seeking immortals in all dynasties, there has never been a true immortal. However, if the scope is expanded a little, some extremely high-level cultivators can also be regarded as 'immortals'. ”
"Then what is behind this candle world......
Xing Yi shook his head: "Fifty years ago, it was almost completely wiped out, and I didn't see a higher level of power. It is more likely that they have mastered some kind of legacy after the death of this 'Immortal Monarch'. ”
