Chapter 15: Devouring
Li Jing is doing his best, where would he have thought that the masked head would have such a move, and mistakenly think it was a trick he played.
He didn't dare to be careless, in such a sinister environment, it was better to be careful, and at the moment he grabbed the hands of the masked leader, and he said loudly: "Don't come up, your leader has been controlled by me." ”
After speaking, Li Jing's lower abdomen was churning and extremely uncomfortable, and he felt as if something new had entered the blood pill in his lower abdomen.
After a while, the masked leader's breath was dissipated, the bones of his whole body seemed to fall apart, and his whole body fell to the ground, and after a while, he was already dead of anger.
Li Jing didn't know why, where did he think that with this grab, he would be able to arrest a master who was more powerful than himself to death.
The black-clothed people around him retreated step by step as if they were hiding from the plague god, muttering "monsters" and "demons" and the like.
The man in black ignored the leader who fell to the ground, and several ups and downs disappeared into the night.
Li Jing couldn't figure out that these men in black just ran away, and they didn't even want the corpse of the leader?
He breathed a sigh of relief, the pain in his chest was like a knife, so he sat cross-legged and used the power of the blood pill to heal himself.
After the power of the blood pill ran through his whole body, he spit out a mouthful of black blood, and the pain was reduced a lot, but the breath in his lower abdomen was disordered, which could not be adjusted for a while.
The good news is that the desire to torture oneself is gone, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction fills the body, and it is extremely comfortable. It's a bit like an alcoholic finally getting a good drink, and a smoker getting rid of his addiction.
Li Jing glanced at the masked leader on the ground, lifted him up, found a random pit, and put his body inside.
He said in his heart: "I don't know who killed you, it was because of me that I died, I hope you can go to Huangquan with peace of mind, find a good person to reincarnate as soon as possible, don't come to me at night! ”
After finishing speaking, Li Jing casually found some branches and stones, trying to cover the corpse, the stone smashed on the corpse and made a crisp sound, Li Jing was curious, reached into the corpse's arms, and took out the thing that made a sound, it turned out to be a snake-shaped metal mask, on the mask was a snake head with a large open mouth, fangs and sharp teeth, hideous and terrifying.
"What is the connection between Hu Yidao and the Snake Sect?" Li Jing reached into his arms again, and took out some scattered silver, some strange porcelain vases, and a letter, he opened the letter, this is a wanted notice from the headquarters of the Snake Worship Sect, and the person who counted it is Hu Yidao in their mouths.
Hu Yidao, whose identity is the left protector of Tianyimen, the bloodline of the Jialuo Tiger, stole a mysterious item from the Snake Worship Sect in November this year.
"Okay! I met my peers, and he put him on the table. What is Tianyimen?" Li Jing smiled helplessly, put the thing into the corpse's arms intact, and then covered the corpse with branches and stones.
When it was all said, he unfolded, and a few jumps disappeared into the night.
Soon after Li Jing left, a tiger-headed man turned out from somewhere in the dark night, carrying an inconspicuous burden behind him, staring at Li Jing in the distance!
Li Jing returned to the other courtyard, concentrated on meditating, combed the disordered breath in the lower abdomen, and condensed it into the blood pill, finished, he only felt unprecedented comfort, comfortable and wanted shengyin, it was an unprecedented indescribable satisfaction, unexplained comfort.
Along with this, the cultivation of the Blood Pill has been greatly improved, and it has broken through to the 5th layer realm.
It was difficult for Li Jing to be happy, all of this was beyond common sense.
Everything that happened today is like this, first his body evolved, then he met a tiger with a high IQ, and then he met a snake worshipper.
What's even more strange is that the leader of the Snake Worship Sect, who is obviously much more powerful than himself, was caught and killed by himself, and his whole body felt as if he had been sucked dry.
He knew that he had a few catties and a few taels, and now his little blood pill cultivation was not enough.
In the sea of consciousness, Li Jing told all this truthfully.
Spirit of the Incense Burner: "You have obtained Qiqi's strongest skill, Devour, the blood pill of the leader of the Snake Worship Sect was devoured by you and died."
The devouring ability is extremely powerful, every time you devour a person's blood pill, your cultivation will be greatly improved, but, with the increase in the number of devouring, your heart will have an extremely strong desire to devour, if you can't satisfy it, you will be tormented by this desire and lose your mind, I didn't expect Qi Qi to be so treacherous. ”
Li Jing: "I see, this kind of devouring is no different from the star-absorbing Dafa in martial arts novels in my previous life. It's just that how good it is now, the pain of that longing is really unbearable. ”
Spirit of the Incense Burner: "You are not yet fully dependent on this devouring ability, no matter what happens in the future, don't use this ability, I will teach you a method that will allow you to detect if the devouring is going on."
It is a difficult process to teach another set of mental methods to help you restrain your cravings, and now, I can't merge my consciousness with you, and if I merge with you, this desire to devour will also be transmitted to me, and then the world will be destroyed in the hands of Qiqi, you and me. ”
"Then you can teach me quickly, I don't want to do this. ”
There was another convergence of thoughts, and the mental method spoken by the spirit of the incense burner appeared in his consciousness.
Li Jing realized that he might have misunderstood the spirit of the incense burner.
All he had to do now was to cultivate diligently and overcome this desire with his own will, so that he could avoid falling into the abyss from which he would never recover.
After a few days of cultivation, he mastered the mental method passed down by the spirit of the incense burner, and the desire to devour did not come out to torture Li Jing after being satisfied last time.
A few days later, Li Lao Er and the Li brothers returned home one after another.
After Li Lao Er checked Li Jing's body, he said with satisfaction: "Jing'er, I didn't expect your cultivation to improve by leaps and bounds, and it didn't waste a piece of my hard work, Uncle and Grandpa are very happy." ”
Li Jing didn't tell them about the changes inside his body, he digressed the topic and asked, "Uncle, how are you doing this time?" ”
Li Lao Er said solemnly: "Our family is very welcome to move to the land of the Great Zhou, but there is a condition that our family will guard the frost land for the Great Zhou Town for 10 years. ”
Li resolutely was shocked: "What? Guarding the frosty land for 10 years? This condition is too harsh, right..."
Li Jing was puzzled and asked, "What is the place of the Frost Land?"
Li Lao Er explained: "The Frost Land is a perennial frozen territory in the north of the Great Zhou, close to the polar regions, sparsely populated, and extremely cold.
What's even more terrifying is that the Frost Land borders the Abyss Sea, and every other year, strange giant beasts will come out of the Abyss Sea and attack the people of the Great Zhou. Guarding the frosty land is a thankless task, and if there is a slight mistake, the head will fall to the ground, and the town will be well guarded, and it will not show any merit.
Originally, the frosty land was guarded by the famous general Gu Liang Yueqing of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but this year, the Snake Worship Sect preached in the southern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it gradually became a climate.
Gu Liang Yueqing's nemesis, Prime Minister Zhuo Yi of the Great Zhou, died, and Gu Liang Yueqing had the opportunity to transfer back to the south while the Snake Sect was in turmoil. ”
Li Jing said: "This is too child's play, such an important place, let a family who has just surrendered to Cheng guard? Aren't you afraid that we will rebel against the water again? Moreover, our Li family has no military talents." Also, what is snake worship? I've been hearing about it lately. ”
"This is nothing strange, the Li family was originally a military marquis, your grandfather was a famous general of the Wei State back then, and his reputation was even greater than that of Gu Liang Yueqing, your third uncle decisively... is a rare young general. Our Li family has been loyal and good for generations, and our reputation is far away.
If it weren't for the emperor's persecution, how could he have defected to another country? Defecting to the Great Zhou is our only way out, and only an inclusive country like the Great Zhou would take us in.
As for the Snake Worship Sect, it is a sect that has emerged this year, and its development targets are mainly low-blooded people, encouraging them to overthrow the ruling monopoly of high-blooded people. ”
Li Chongran said: "Uncle, the two clans of Ji Chang are willing to accept this condition. ”
Li Chongyang said: "The stakes are very high, I have informed the heads of the two clans of Ji Chang to lead the masters of the family to come to the mouth quickly to discuss the plan, the end of the year is approaching, I must go to the capital, and rescue the eldest brother before the emperor makes a move." ”
Li Yiran was worried: "It's just that the emperor clearly stipulates that our Li clan is not allowed to enter Beijing without the emperor's will.
We are thin, there are not many people available, the capital is full of masters, and it is really difficult to rescue my father if we want to rescue him.
To do this, you must first enter Beijing secretly, but the Li Mansion is strictly monitored, and it is still very difficult to leave quietly. ”
Li Chongran said angrily: "Father sacrificed a lot for our Li family, and if we don't rescue him, the Li family will never leave the Wei State." If you want to go to the capital, it is difficult to say that it is difficult, and it is easy to say that it is simple. ”
"How do you say this?"
"Find a night and burn down all our shops and some of Wang's shops. Rumors were released to the outside world, saying that it was done by the Jiang family in Yizhou, and the Jiang family and us had a conflict recently, coupled with past grievances, this reason is tenable.
Moreover, the Jiang family and the Wang family also have a deep feud, the Wang family is naturally happy to fight between our two families, and then, we organized people to go to Yizhou to ask for an explanation, and then sent a caravan to the capital to purchase the necessities used to rebuild the shop, the people who went to Yizhou are just a pretense, we and the masters of the Ji Chang clan mixed into the caravan, can enter the capital. ”
Li resolutely objected: "This... Isn't this a self-extinct way? These shops have supported our three families, and 18 years of hard work have been burned down?"
Li Lao Er nodded and agreed: "We fled from the Wei State, these shops can't be taken away at all, they can't be left to the Wang family, so they simply burn it down, where would the Wang family think that we would smash our own rice bowls, we must not doubt that it is a very moment, and these pots and pots that can't be taken away are still smashed." ”
