Chapter 378: Enchantment (7k)
The gossip instrument plate in Lu Mingheng's hand can trace the local aura change trend for a long time in the past.
He had been worried before, the aura in the valley was very special, and whether the Bagua Ritual Plate could be traced back was a question.
After trying, he found that this was nothing, and the gossip instrument plate could be traced. After all, no matter what you say, the Void Reiki is also a type of Reiki, and it is not something else.
But, at the same time, he also ran into another problem.
It's true that it can be traced back, but this kind of thing that seems to be an ethereal aura, that kind of erosion - or rather annihilation effect - but the patella is only for people or living things or something. At this time, any object that reacts with the Void Aura will encounter an annihilation effect.
In fact, these ethereal aura floating in the air annihilated the surrounding environment all the time. There's no living thing growing here, that's why. Even the rocks and land that make up the valley have not been continuously 'melted' because they have been immersed in a large amount of Void Spiritual Qi and assimilated into similar properties over a long period of time.
Even the air in this valley is very thin.
In this case, the Bagua Instrument Plate needs to trace the past trend of spiritual energy changes, and it is bound to have a lot of contact and reaction with these virtual spiritual energy, which makes it easy for the Bagua Instrument Plate to be damaged due to the annihilation effect of the virtual spiritual energy before completing its mission.
Lu Mingheng prepared several gossip instrument plates, but if one of them was damaged, the progress that had been traced would not be inherited by the next one, which was of little significance.
He could only further input his spiritual power to protect the structure of the Bagua Instrument Plate, so that the Void Spiritual Qi would first annihilate with his spiritual power when it damaged the Bagua Instrument Plate.
This is indeed to ensure that the Bagua Instrument Disc can work normally, but his spiritual power consumption has also increased to a very large extent all of a sudden.
He could only grit his teeth and hold on.
However, in his heart, he is still very calm.
He carefully calculated his support ability, and if it didn't work, he wouldn't stupidly insist on anything. Give up one hand, go back and wait until you are more fully prepared, and then come back and you're done. There's no need to be like a stunned young man and carry it here.
But this time, the situation was better than he expected. Before his physical condition reached the bottom line he had set, the Bagua Ritual Plate had already completed the tracing of the changes in the aura over the past five years.
It stands to reason that this gossip ritual plate can be traced back to fifteen years at most, but under the current environment, five years has reached his limit.
He didn't hesitate and walked away.
After quickly leaving the valley range, the spiritual power in his body had been consumed less than two percent of what he had at his peak. Moreover, the pervasive erosion of the Void Spiritual Qi caused some damage to his body and meridians.
But he was in no hurry to rest.
He swallowed two pills, which were used to restore spiritual power and qi and blood, which could help him stabilize his state.
Then he retreated, leaving the outskirts of the valley.
He didn't go far, but came to a nearby town.
This town should be an ordinary town under the jurisdiction of Huhan County, and there is no spiritual vein, so naturally there is no trace of grooming activities.
After Lu Mingheng entered it, he looked for a house everywhere, did not disturb the master, but in an empty room, after a little arrangement, he took out the spirit stone and began to meditate.
He was going to rest here for a while, and then leave when he was almost back in shape. And the tricks he placed in the house would ensure that mortals would not be able to detect him, and even if they did, they would only be familiar with him.
After resting for a while and recovering a bit, he took out the gossip instrument plate, and his divine sense probed into it and began to read the contents of it.
To be honest, he was a little apprehensive. The Bagua Ritual is located within the Valley of the Ghost Face God, and only traces the situation of the past five years. If the anomaly is found, it is better to say, if it is not found, at best, it can only prove that Chen Man has not made a breakthrough in this valley in the past five years, and nothing else can prove it.
It is possible that the breakthrough was completed earlier, or it is possible that the breakthrough ceremony was not held in the Valley of the Ghost Face. You can't make any judgment because of this.
However, after the information burned on the Divine Sense Analysis Bagua Instrument Disk, Lu Mingheng finally got a very exciting message:
The Bagua Instrument Disc clearly recorded that four years ago, there was a very violent aura fluctuation in the valley. A large amount of aura gathers somewhere in the center of the valley and is quickly consumed.
In fact, this still can't fully explain that Chen Man made a breakthrough in the phase of the law, but at least, it is a very powerful evidence.
He thought about it, directly sent a message to the flying sword, and shot it out.
Of course, this letter flying sword was not sent directly to Yan Kingdom. Although the flying sword is very fast and the movement is very small, it is still in the process of flying, and there is a risk of being intercepted.
His flying sword was sent to the south, and there would be a Jinyi guard station there, which would continue to transfer a few hands in the territory of Yan Kingdom, and finally send it to Yan Country from other channels.
Moreover, the content in the Flying Sword is also encrypted. A very special spiritual aura was used in it, and it had to match the secret aura he left in Yandu to be able to unlock the information in the Messenger Flying Sword.
But despite such a double guarantee, it is still not possible to make the Chuanxin Flying Sword successfully arrive in Yandu.
So, he put a few more.
However, the porcelain vase that collected the aura in the valley is a real thing, and there is no way to use such means as transmitting the flying sword to get it back to Yan Kingdom, so I can only find a way to transfer things back to China through certain channels.
After these things were done, he could finally recover his condition.
When he came from Akui in the valley, the spiritual power in his body was still in his early stages at best, and because of the invasion of the void spiritual qi, there were still some qi pulse disorders.
The rest just now was just a moment of recuperation, but it was only to adjust the disordered qi veins. The aura of the trumpet before, but there is no chance to make up for it.
It's not quite appropriate to go on the road like this. It seems to be safe here, so here, it would be better to restore the consumed spiritual power to a certain level, and then continue to act.
When he arrived in town, it was almost noon. For an afternoon, nothing happened, but as the time entered midnight, his spiritual sense suddenly moved, and on the other side of the town, he sensed an aura that made him feel very disgusted.
That's the one who has fallen into the devil.
Entering the demon is a proper noun, whether it is a monk or a mortal, or even some beasts, it is possible to be invaded and infected by the demonic energy, and become a demon or a monster.
The demon is basically equal to dead. It's just an evil thought, controlling the body of the demon.
Up to now, there is still no public opinion in the entire cultivation world as to how this so-called 'demonic energy' or 'evil thoughts' came about and how it came about.
But the matter of entering the demon is really annoying for the entire cultivation world. An ordinary mortal who falls into a demon and doesn't notice it for a while can destroy a village or even a town, and after they devour a lot of flesh and blood, the speed at which their strength soars is simply incomprehensible.
Of course, this kind of demon entrant who has just appeared is still relatively easy to deal with.
Under normal circumstances, if Lu Mingheng encounters a demon entrant, he should have taken action to solve it. Even in the Wei Kingdom, it was the same.
Whether it is a demon practitioner or a demon cultivator, everyone is punished for it, and this is the consensus of the cultivation world.
Of course, Great Wei is now an enemy country. If there is a large-scale demonic chaos in the Wei State, it will be a blow to the Wei State, and as for how heavy it is, it will be the extent of the demonic chaos. But how to say it, as a swallow person, this kind of thing should be a joy to see.
But then again, where is the chaos so easy to happen?
If it's just a demon entrant, then for the huge Wei Kingdom, it can't even make a wave. In addition to just getting rid of it, it can't help the enemy.
But this is not the usual time.
Lu Mingheng actually didn't want to see the tragedy in the world. If he didn't intervene, in this ordinary mortal town, without the presence of monks, that one demon cultivator would be enough to become a catastrophe. But at the moment, he has his own priorities, and he really doesn't want to get involved in these things.
After a moment's hesitation, he decided not to care.
For a demon to destroy a town, it will take a while to develop. It's not impossible to kill and devour a few people after they are discovered, and if the people in power in the town are decisive and let the strong men bring up the swords, it is not impossible to stifle this threat.
Look at the creation of these mortals. He was going to stay for two more days and then leave. What happens here is none of my business.
However, things always change so unexpectedly.
At midnight, he sensed the first demon, and then, in the second half of the night, the demonizers appeared one after another, and by dawn, the number of demonic entrants had reached thirteen.
Even, in the house where he was, there was a demon entrant.
The male owner of this house, half an hour before dawn, was invaded by demonic energy.
In Ming Heng's perception, this man suddenly sat up from the bed, stared straight ahead for a short time with a pair of dark red eyes, and then turned to his wife who was sleeping beside him, looking like he was going to devour it alive.
Lu Mingheng opened his eyes and left the state of shallow cultivation.
He sighed slightly, and now, no matter how optimistic he was, he knew that something big was wrong.
Of course, this has nothing to do with your own safety. The whole town has become a demon, and there is nothing they can do about him.
But looking at it like this, there are signs of demonic chaos here.
It doesn't matter if you're a demon, it's terrible if you're a group of demonizers. Not to mention whether the number of demon entrants will continue to increase, just the thirteen that have appeared in the town right now, this is not a problem that mortals can solve. And when they slaughter the entire town in a day or two, then I'm afraid there will be thirteen demons who are equivalent to the peak of qi cultivation and even the level of building the foundation.
Of course, this is still nothing, but if there are more of them, and they spread like a plague, the situation will be very terrible.
I don't know if I should be happy or not.
But at least for now, he casually killed the male owner of this room who had fallen into the devil.
"Borrow your house for one day to save five lives of your wife, children, and parents...... Only this once, of course. ”
After killing the demon master, he didn't plan to stay here.
To put it bluntly, this happened in the demonic chaos in the Wei State, which had nothing to do with him, and he didn't plan to interfere too much.
After a day's rest, his state recovered a lot, which had a lot to do with the effect of the elixir. I thought in my heart that I should have been quite far away from the Valley of the Ghost Face, so there was no need to be so careful.
After flying, he quickly left the town and soon crossed over the sky over another town.
Here he slowed down a bit a bit. He was surprised to find that there was also a demonic chaos here. Moreover, the situation in this town is even more serious than the previous one. Here, at least two or three hundred demon entrants appeared, and the entire town could basically be regarded as destroyed, some of the remaining people, gathered in the two high-rise compounds in the town, guarded by the wall, individual martial arts young and strong, holding weapons, and the demons outside, but from time to time someone was knocked down and killed.
In the air, Lu Mingheng shook his head, this town is over. These mortals couldn't fight against so many demon entrants, not to mention that he had seen more than a dozen of them reach the Qi cultivation level, and even one of them had already entered the grassroots level.
If the demon enters the demon and kills the devouring creatures, the strength will increase extremely quickly, but at the moment, it is still so fast that Lu Mingheng feels a little surprised.
If you devour a lot of monks, it will be enough to have this speed; but the people who can swallow it are all ordinary people in the town, and it is eaten by two or three hundred demon entrants, and the town with a total of less than 10,000 people can eat it to build a base level......
Is this the chaos?
Look at it like this, it's not just a matter of one or two small towns.
And if it's a large-scale demonic chaos, then it's really necessary to collect the corresponding information.
He wandered around the two nearby towns, and found that there were traces of demonic disorder, and the degree of the present varied, some of them had been destroyed, and only the demons were partying in them, and some of them were just like the town he had stayed in, and the traces of the demons had just appeared.
But at this point, Lu Mingheng can already be sure that there is a demonic rebellion about to break out in the south of Wei Kingdom, and now it has entered the initial stage, and it seems that there is no tendency to be contained. He also saw that in a small town, there was a team that seemed to be a Xiuzhen family, and it seemed that they had received some news to deal with the problem, but in that town, there was a demon who built a foundation, so the whole team was wiped out without suspense, but it became an excellent nourishment for others, and a new foundation building demon was born.
The outbreak of the demonic chaos is a foregone conclusion, it just depends on the extent and scale of the demonic chaos.
Lu Mingheng faintly felt that this might not be too small.
He thought about it for a while and leaned towards the county seat of Huhan.
If even the county seat has fallen, then this matter may evolve into an incident that affects the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Yan.
When he arrived near Huhan County, he felt that the city was lifeless.
In this kind of county-level administrative unit, the county seat should at least have second-order or even third-order artificial or natural spiritual veins. Moreover, in general, there are protective formations in the county.
However, this protective formation in Amber County seems to have been destroyed.
After thinking for a while, Lu Mingheng flew up.
Since the protective formation is in a state of being broken, there is no way to ban flights. Then he could have reconnoitred the situation in the county from a distance, and after a general understanding of the current situation, he would be done with his departure.
But this one is closer, and the situation is a little wrong.
There are a lot of demons in the county, but there are also many monks alive, and there is even a foundation building. But on both sides, there was no fighting, and even they were mixed together.
"It's kind of weird......"
He decided to take a closer look.
In a county town, for the time being, he has not felt the existence of demon cultivators or monks who have reached the enlightenment period or above, so with his strength, even if he is not in the state of Marriott, he should not encounter any danger that cannot be solved.
Getting closer to the bottom, Lu Mingheng finally figured out the situation in the city of Huhan County-on the square in the center of the city, more than three hundred monks, including the foundation building period, stood there blankly. At their feet, there were many human entrails, large expanses of blood, covering the entire square.
And the large number of demon entrants around them did not attack these monks, but just watched silently.
After a short while, a demon enterer stepped forward and disemboweled, disemboweling a human monk, pulling out all the internal organs and laying them on the ground.
As a result, the demonic power that enveloped the entire square became even stronger.
After a short while, another demon enterer went up and did the same thing, and made the demon's power even stronger.
At the same time, the strength of all the demon entrants present has risen slightly.
"It's ...... Living sacrifice?" the word popped into his head.
Right now, if so many monks were all sacrificed alive, the strength of the hundreds of demons present would increase to a very high level.
was cold, and the disgusting scene at the moment made him, who was no longer a fledgling, feel a sense of discomfort from psychology to physiology.
The demonic chaos that had begun to break out in the Wei State had been raised several levels in his heart.
"Tragedy in the world......" Lu Mingheng sighed in his heart.
This kind of thing is actually a good thing for Yan Guo. The larger the scale of the outbreak of the demonic rebellion, the more it will involve the energy of the Wei State.
However, as a monk, such a human tragedy, when you see it with your own eyes, you still feel a little unbearable.
Before, I thought about saving the people in that town, but now it seems that the fart is useless. If you can save it for a while, how can you save a lifetime? I'm afraid that if it weren't for the old and young, they would all have died by now, and they were devoured by the demons.
sighed, Lu Mingheng had already collected enough information. In the future, he should let his Jinyi Wei scouts pay attention to the situation here in Zhai Zhou and closely track the development of the demon chaos.
Just as he was thinking about the future work arrangement, an early warning suddenly appeared in his heart.
Fu Ling's heart was so good that he summoned the Xinghui Town Jade Plate and blocked it on his back.
In an instant, he felt a heavy blow coming.
The body suddenly flew upside down, but fortunately, there was a Zhenyu plate in the way, and it didn't kill him.
In mid-air, he adjusted his posture, turned around, and saw the attacker as well.
It was a man in a gray robe, wearing a grimace mask, and his body was full of demonic energy.
This outfit and image, if Lu Mingheng didn't know that Chen Man was coming, it would be too vain to do his duty as a brocade guard.
Almost eighty percent of the 'ghost-faced gods' Chen Man, who has advanced to the Fa Phase, who is not afraid to see this guy?
Of course, this is absolutely impossible for Chen Man's ontology to come.
Chen Man's most famous ability is that he can divide many clones. No one knows how many of his clones he can have, and these clones, everywhere, do things for Chen Man. And his essence, hidden in the valley – and perhaps a doppelganger in the valley – controls everything.
What attacked him just now should be a Qiming clone of Chen Man, otherwise Lu Mingheng would never be able to resist it.
The doppelganger at the Qiming level is also the weakest among Chen Man's clones.
However, what Lu Mingheng noticed the most was that this Chen Manfen had a strong demonic aura on his body.
Chen Man...... You're actually under control?"
"That's right, but you don't have a chance to tell anyone. Chen Man said as he continued to attack.
Although at the level of strength, this person's clone only had the appearance of the early stage of Qiming, Lu Mingheng still dealt with it very hard.
His condition, which had only taken less than a day to recover, was simply not enough to sustain him in a battle that was too intense.
What's more, although the strength level of Chen Man's clone is not high, this is after all the clone of a master of the law, and his rich combat experience and far-sighted fighting style make Lu Mingheng miserable.
In a very short period of time, he fell into the disadvantage.
This Chen Man's clone seems to be a metallic. The sharp white blade, with a disgusting demonic aura, was casually called out by others, and slashed towards Lu Mingheng one after another.
Lu Mingheng could only rely on the Xinghui Town Jade Plate to resist.
"It's a very special defensive weapon, the material is a bit special, when you die, I'll study it carefully. Chen Man's tone was still so indifferent.
Lu Mingheng's heart was a little desperate, but his overall mood was quite calm.
His reason told him that in his current state, there was little hope of running away alive. But he didn't intend to sit back and die, and the fight would continue.
His shield is a fine product specially created for him by the family when he left the family and came to the Wei Kingdom. Although it bears the name of the public like Zhenyu Pan, in fact, the defensive effect of this thing should be considered relatively top-notch among third-order magic weapons.
If it weren't for this, he might not be able to hold up a few moves, and he would die on the spot under Chen Man's sharp swordsmanship.
Although he was temporarily defense-free, his spiritual power was seriously depleted under heavy pressure. What was already incomplete is now even worse.
"You can't just be beaten passively......
With such a thought in his heart, he tried to fight back at the risk of being injured instead.
Lu Mingheng is a Fire Wood Twin Spiritual Root Cultivator, and in terms of spiritual roots, it is very suitable for the 'Ember Fire Immeasurable Technique' that the ancestors of the family practiced back then, and his attainments in this exercise are indeed quite good.
The most outstanding thing about Ember Infinite is in its destructive power.
It's not like I don't have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Maybe the public doesn't know, but it wasn't a matter of a day or two for Lu Mingheng to collect intelligence on Chen Man, and he probably had some understanding of his doppelganger.
These clones, there is no problem with the strength and strength, it is equivalent to the corresponding clone level. But no matter what level of doppelganger it is, the ontology is very fragile in the same level. Moreover, his doppelganger, due to the incomplete soul and the use of magic weapons, is also very unsmooth, so the equipment level will also be very poor.
With the consciousness of the master of the Law Phase Period, the offensive suppressiveness that his clone can show at the level of the Qiming Period is very terrifying. Lu Mingheng is considered to be more capable of fighting in the same level, and there is also a very high-quality top-notch third-order defensive magic weapon like the Xinghui Town Jade Plate, but he was still beaten to the point that he could barely retract.
But as long as he can fight back, hit one or two times, and with the immeasurable attack power of Ember Fire, he really has a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Taking advantage of the arrival of a series of attacks from Chen Man's clone, Lu Mingheng all relied on the Zhenyu Plate to block it, and then, he pushed this defensive magic weapon outward, and the starlight suddenly shone brightly, and the shield instantly became many times larger than before.
Lu Mingheng wanted this way, trying to temporarily block Chen Man's attack angle first.
Subsequently, he squeezed the only remaining spiritual power in his body with all his strength and transformed it into the fire wood attribute.
'Extinguish the ashes'!
This is almost the most powerful attack move that Lu Mingheng has mastered at the moment. He didn't have the scarlet eyes of Lu Qing, the ancestor of the family, so he couldn't directly ignite the 'Ember Fire Extinguishing' as far as his eyes could see, he could only condense it into a fireball and guide it towards Chen Man's clone.
When the three fireballs first appeared, the Zhenyu Plate that he had pushed out earlier was knocked away.
Without his full support, of course, it is impossible to resist for too long by relying on the magic weapon itself.
But the time gained is enough.
Lu Mingheng's eyes were fixed on the three big fireballs that flew out.
With the power of 'Ember Fire Extinguishment', as long as the middle shot, Chen Man's clone is very likely to be unable to bear it.
"Hey, dare to fight back, that's good. "Chen Man's business has come over, but it is still dull.
There's nothing to be bland, it's just a Qiming clone, even if it's really dead, can it still make him feel distressed?
What's more, you don't have to die.
Several rays of white demonic sword qi slashed out with his hand, slashing towards those large fireballs head-on.
The roaring explosion, as well as the fireworks in his eyes, covered Lu Mingheng's field of vision.
The three fireballs failed to hit directly, but when the fireballs were slashed by the sword qi, they were clearly not far from the ghost-faced god.
Can the aftermath kill this doppelganger?
As the fireworks dissipated, revealing some scorched black marks inside, but not to the extent of being finished, Lu Mingheng's slightly expectant eyes also dimmed.
