Chapter 220: Siege and Interception
Ding Xing figured out Meng Changjun's whereabouts and guessed that this person was very likely to be near Fang Zhenyu's hometown Moon Corridor Oasis.
He instructed Makino Tieshou: "You heal your injured body first, don't pay attention to Meng Changjun's matter for the time being, I have a way to detect his whereabouts, wait for me to lock this person's current accurate location, and then discuss your itinerary." ”
When Makino Iron Hands heard this, he became anxious.
Suddenly jumped out of the cylinder, knelt down on one knee in front of Ding Xing, hugged his fists and said: "Take out the Gu worm, my injury is no longer in the way, but it is just the loss of some essence and blood, just swallow a few blood-replenishing elixirs, I can recover as before, Master Ding, this matter is caused by me, if I am allowed to watch from the wall, I will feel uneasy, and it will be more uncomfortable than killing me." ”
At the beginning, Makino Tieshou went thousands of miles deep into the sea-viewing corridor, only to find Meng Changjun's traces in a hidden ghost cave, the corridor was like a dike, floating on the sea, if you want to detect Meng Changjun's whereabouts, you must enter the corridor in person.
Therefore, Ding Xing said that there was a way to lock Meng Changjun's position, but he was mistaken by Muye Tieshou and did not allow him to participate in the action, so he was in a hurry to express his attitude to Ding Xing.
Ding Xing knew that he was stubborn, so he gave him a false look: "Who said that you should sit idly by? I will track Meng Changjun, the method is different from yours, even if I don't leave the island, I can find him in the air! When I lock his position, I will give you a chance to round him up!"
"I forgot, Lord Ding Zhuang has great powers, and he definitely won't be like me who only knows how to chase after his ass stupidly!" Makino Iron smiled innocently, but he was puzzled in his heart, and he couldn't guess Ding Xing's tracking method even if he wanted to break his scalp.
Ding Xing didn't say much, leaving him to talk to the little monk here, and turned to leave.
After leaving the meditation room, Ding Xing led Fang Zhenyu around the back mountain of Qingol Temple and sat down in the viewing pavilion at the top of the mountain.
Fang Zhenyu stayed alone outside the pavilion and did not approach.
When he went up the mountain just now, Ding Xing said that he wanted to cast a spell in the pavilion, but he didn't dare to disturb.
In addition, the ink cloud on Ding Xing's shoulder is also very strange, and there are voices spreading in the clouds from time to time, as if a ghost is hidden, although he knows that the ghost will not murder him, but subconsciously he still wants to avoid it.
He saw that Ding Xing had set up a boxy hollow gold platform in the pavilion, which looked similar to a gold pond with water storage.
Then four small pennants were sacrificed, the flagpoles were all golden, but the pictures drawn on the flag were completely different, one flag showed golden light, one flag condensed blood, one flag emitted white moonlight, and the last flag was full of black ink.
With Fang Zhenyu's naked eyes, he can only see the color of the small flag, and as for the specific form of the flag picture, it is quite vague to him, and he can't peek at the real face at all.
He looked at Ding Xing and suspended the four-pole small flag above the golden pool, one on each side, and after the arrangement was completed, he saw that the ink cloud on Ding Xing's shoulder suddenly condensed into a real thing, manifested into an ink beast similar to a human baby, and opened his mouth to spew blood arrows into the golden pool.
As soon as this blood arrow came out, the smell of blood suddenly spread, it was very pungent, Fang Zhenyu couldn't stand the impact of blood, covered his nose and retreated for more than ten zhang, and when he stabilized his pace and looked towards the pavilion again, he saw that the skin of the ink beast had turned white......
Huh?
Fang Zhenyu was good at observing, and he noticed that the ink cloud on Ding Xing's shoulder was reconverging, which meant that the ink beast had climbed onto Ding Xing's shoulder again.
The little white beast that appeared at this moment should be another spirit beast raised by Ding Xing.
He looked at the little white beast and saw a crescent moon mark flashing on the white beast's forehead, as if he had plucked the moon from the sky and set it on his forehead, which was so psychic that it was unbelievable.
His eyes were opened.
I can't help but think about it, Ding's predecessor is a Taoist immortal master, and he has an unearthly demeanor, and I don't know if he has accepted an apprentice under the seat?
Mo Qiuzi was talking to Ding Xing privately at this time, and he also happened to talk to him, "Ding Daoyou took him with him, is he going to accept him into the house?"
Ding Xing denied it: "He is the son of an old man, since I met him here, I can't take him away and ignore him, but to say that he is accepted as an apprentice, it is far from this extent!"
Even if Ding Xing rushed to the Jindan stage, he would not recruit disciples, first of all, the batch of Ding family members was already half a master and half an apprentice, and he didn't need to screen another disciple.
Secondly, Fang Zhenyu is not suitable, although Fang Zhenyu's heart is okay, but he is too old, and he only starts enlightenment and cultivation now, it is too late, if Fang Zhenyu does not have great perseverance and great opportunity in the future, it is impossible to achieve anything.
Mo Qiuzi heard that Ding Xing didn't want to accept apprentices, so he smiled and said, "Since Ding Daoyou doesn't want to accept him, how are you going to arrange him when the matter between Meng Changjun and the poisonous demon is resolved?"
Ding Xing said bluntly: "It depends on his own plans, if he has the heart to set foot in the immortal cultivation realm, I will fulfill him, if he obeys his mother's will and returns to the mortal life of the Moon Corridor Oasis, I will not interfere." ”
Mo Qiuzi pondered for a while, and suddenly asked Ding Xing: "If he has the heart to seek the Tao, how about letting him worship under my door?"
Fang Zhenyu is the son of Ding Xing's old friend, this is the love of two generations, Mo Qiuzi's acceptance of Fang Zhenyu is equivalent to establishing a long-term relationship with Ding Xing, and it is also showing Ding Xing that he will definitely repay the kindness of the soul protector in the Shengteng River in the future.
Ding Xing is indispensable.
"It's time to go!"
At this time, the little book demon had already donated blood, and Ding Xing stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the array flag.
"Sacrifice!"
The golden pool was full of light in an instant, and the ink blood and the moon blood in the pool fused into one, forming a blood vortex, whirring and turning for a moment, and disappeared into the pool.
At the same time, a fierce battle was being staged in a canyon in the Moon Corridor Oasis.
The overwhelming swarm of black beetles shrouded the canyon like a black curtain, trapping the group of monks at the bottom of the valley.
These seven or eight monks joined forces to build a blockade line to resist the siege of the swarm, in fact, their defense line was very strong, if there were only swarms, they were fully capable of breaking through.
But outside the swarm, there is still a 'villain' in blood-colored armor, which is the lifeline of this group of monks.
The size of this 'villain' is not yet the knee of ordinary people, but when it stands alone, it has a fierce bearing.
The so-called one husband is the key, and ten thousand people are not open, if this sentence is applied to the 'villain', it is quite appropriate.
Not only did it wear armor, but it also got a scarlet cloak, and shook it from time to time, making a gesture of a general going to war.
Its skin is pure-blooded, and its face is like that of a baby, but it pretends to be old-fashioned, and it looks somewhat funny.
But it's terrifying.
I saw it hold its little head high, staring directly at the monk besieged by the swarm, and suddenly identified a target, and it was a palm in the air.
Its armor seems to be specially customized, wearing a fish-scale bracer on its left arm, and not wearing anything on its right arm, but its arm is naturally covered with fish-scale armor, and if you don't distinguish it carefully, you can't see anything abnormal at all.
When it opened its palm, the fish scale armor piece shone brightly, condensing a cloud of blood on its palm, and as it struck out with the power of its palm, the blood cloud turned into a palm print, penetrating the insect array in one fell swoop, and went straight to the chest of one of the monks.
"Ahh
The monk was struck by a slap and fell on his back.
His clothes seemed to be on fire, and they were instantly rotted into dust, and his body was reduced to a pile of bloody debris at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it turned into a pool of blood.
When the 'villain' saw that he had killed a person with one palm, he felt very enjoyable, and his mouth made a sound of 'giggling' and 'giggling', which seemed to be laughing.
But it laughed heartily, but the monks in the worm circle were about to cry.
If they don't think about resisting, they will inevitably be killed on the spot by the 'villains' one by one.
Even if they are not chopped to death, in such a tense battle situation, the defense line is on the verge of shattering, and they are in danger of falling into the worm mouth at any time.
"Master Changyuan, Senior Huang, you should think of a way, we are brave and loyal, and we will sacrifice our lives to follow you to the Guanhai Corridor on an errand, we can't let all of us give up our lives here, right?"
Among these people, there are two Xuanfu monks in the lead, one of whom is the abbot of Qingol Temple, Master Changyuan, and the other is over the age of old, his hair and beard are all gray, he also has his home on Xinye Island, and is called Huang Jinggong by his local colleagues.
Earlier, Ding Xing landed on Xinye Island and had a relationship with a deacon Huang Pingzhang, who was the ancestor of Huang Pingzhang.
That Huang Jinggong's face was extremely worried, he ignored the cries for help from the monks around him, and discussed with Master Changyuan: "Master, if you are trapped here, you are waiting to die, why don't we work together to break through? The battle situation is so dangerous, I really can't take care of these juniors, don't be merciful, if you insist on protecting them, we will definitely die here!"
He actually wanted to break through for a long time, but Master Changyuan insisted on bringing these juniors in the Qi training period, and he was alone and afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the insect swarm to chase and kill, so he froze in the canyon.
Master Changyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Where is the poor monk who is indiscriminately merciful, our enemies are not only this poisonous demon, but also that Shi Gu Monk and Granny Qin, they are the big troubles, once the two of us choose to break through, these juniors will inevitably be controlled by Gu worms, become the knife in their hands, and in turn chase and kill us, when the time comes, our pressure will be even greater!"
He was telling the truth, the Gu monk's method of expelling Gu was extremely vicious, and it was used superbly, Granny Qin was originally a monk of Xinye Island, and she had a Xuanfetal stage cultivation, but she accidentally fell into the Gu worm, and as a result, she became the helper of the Gu caster.
If these juniors around him also fall into the hands of Gu Practitioners, they will definitely follow in the footsteps of Granny Qin.
In addition, this trip to the sea viewing promenade was initiated by Master Changyuan, who invited the monk of Xinye Island to accompany him and go to track down the whereabouts of the Gu caster, but Master Changyuan seriously underestimated the opponent, which led to today's overturn, and he really felt a little guilty in his heart.
Therefore, it is reasonable to be reasonable, and the master of Changyuan is unwilling to give up a few juniors.
Huang Jinggong listened to his explanation, and couldn't help sighing, he couldn't escape, he couldn't escape, he couldn't escape, what should he do!
He regretted the operation quite a bit.
Half a month ago, Master Changyuan came to the door, told him about the insect plague, and warned him that if he did not explore the origin of the insect plague, the entire Heart Leaf Oasis would also suffer, and he was afraid that the comfort nest would be destroyed by the insect demon, so he followed Master Changyuan to the sea viewing corridor.
In this operation, all the five Xuanfei cultivators from Heart Leaf Island were dispatched, and there were also more than twenty juniors in the Qi cultivation period, and they all agreed that even if the Gu caster and the poisonous demon were ruthless to the sky, they would inevitably be captured and killed.
But they didn't expect that as soon as they entered the sea-viewing corridor, they were locked by poisonous clouds and poisonous insects that covered the sky, which directly caused half of them to be killed and injured, and the two Xuanfetus companions were killed on the spot.
When breaking through, Granny Qin was unfortunately recruited and became an accomplice of the Gu casters, and began to launch a protracted pursuit of them.
They fled back to the desert from the sea-viewing corridor, and then fled from the desert into the Moon Corridor Oasis, until they fled into this canyon to survive.
How long they can hold on, they don't know how long they can hold on.
Master Changyuan looked at his companions beside him, turned over his hand and took out a wine jug, this is the 'Zhanqing Spring Water' given to him by Ding Xing when he was in the Mohe Ice Mountain, this spring water is specially designed to restrain the poison of poisonous demons, but the quantity is too scarce to be of great use.
Today's poisonous demon is no longer what it used to be, it devours corpses and bones in the sea viewing corridor, and successfully raises its cultivation to the third level, and its demon power is as deep as that of the monks in the early stage of the Xuan Fetus.
A pot of spring water from the long-wishing monk can't help the poisonous demon at all, and even the detoxification is difficult, and it can only be used to suppress the spread of toxins for a short time.
Stay here and wait for death, breaking out is looking for death, but under the choice, the chance of surviving the breakthrough is higher.
Who knew that he was about to arrange a breakout plan for a few people.
But he saw that the poisonous demon suddenly screamed, as if he had suffered some fatal blow, and fell to the ground, and a flag shadow instantly formed above his head, but this shadow gathered and scattered, and the blink of an eye had disappeared without a trace.
However, this strange attack still caused the poisonous demon to lose its combat effectiveness for a short time, and it suddenly fainted, and the insect swarm entrenched in the sky above the canyon immediately dispersed, scattering in all directions.
The blockade barrier was lifted.
The long-wishing monk and Huang Jinggong looked at each other, they were a little inexplicable, and they were on the spot for a while, and they didn't hesitate for too long, no matter what the hell the poisonous demon was doing, the way out had been opened anyway.
They immediately jumped up and motioned to the juniors: "Follow us and fight out of the valley!"
At that moment, he took up the flying magic weapon and rushed out of the canyon in a swarm.
This canyon is on the eastern edge of the Moon Corridor Oasis, out of the valley is the desert, and if you walk a hundred and ten miles to the east, you can rush to their hometown Heart Leaf Oasis.
But whether they will survive is still unknown.
Because even if the poisonous demon and the insect swarm didn't pursue them, the Gu caster and Granny Qin would not let them return to Xinye Island alive and bring the rescuers back to take revenge.
I saw that on the cliff on the side of the canyon, the Gu caster looked at the back of the Changyuan monk and Huang Jinggong who had fled, suddenly waved his hand, and coldly ordered the old woman on his side: "Bite them, I will arrive later!"
After these words fell, the old woman followed the long-wishing monk away.
The Gu caster jumped off the cliff in one step, landed beside the trembling poisonous demon, bent down to pick up the poisonous demon, stroked his forehead, and muttered to himself, "What's wrong with you? I've checked the surrounding environment, and there are no ambushers, who is sneaking up on you?"
The poisonous demon didn't respond, its eyes were full of confusion, and it didn't seem to know too much about why it had been hit just now, but the danger was approaching, and it had no doubt about it.
