Chapter 33: The Demon Beast Siege of the City
Jiang Li sat stunned all night, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
The Baolian lamp is damaged, because of the mixed yuan beads, it seems that there is a possibility of slowly repairing it. But the thing is a good thing, but I am afraid that it is a hot potato, and it is a pity to use it, and it is a pity to abandon it, so I would not have stolen it if I knew it.
Moreover, Jiang Li's brain is very confused now, not to mention the Baolian Lantern, as well as the previous Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, all of which are passed down from ancient myths and legends. Now that he is in a long time ago, it is not Huaxia, so where do these things come from? When something that once existed in a legend appeared in front of him, it brought him not only shock but also fear.
According to the previous understanding, the Baolian lantern was passed on to the Three Virgins by Emperor Wa for the dispute between heaven and man to start the tribulation of changing the rules of heaven and earth. If the legend is true, then what about the former owner of the Baolian lantern, and how did it break to the point where it is now, as a spiritual creature generated in the chaos of heaven and earth?
He was a little skeptical about which world he was in, the history of China is traceable, and the last time the Baolian lantern appeared was after the Shang and Zhou dynasties. If the timeline was changed and revised by the legend to be more closely related to life, then where does he stand in the torrent of history in the confusion of time?
If this is really the case, then how did the legendary ancient immortals and saints disappear? What happened to the era of ten thousand races that Su Xi said? And how did he get to the era of science and technology where the ten thousand laws disappeared in the later generations and the gods were not visible? He felt that he was witnessing this process, and he became a pawn in the torrent of this era, either voluntarily or forcedly, not only him, but everyone.
Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.
Jiang Li felt that he had a terrible headache, and he also felt that he was really thinking too much. In any case, it wasn't something he should worry about. Maybe it's because of the Baolian lamp, the role of this thing is too high. Now in his hands, if there is really a great turmoil in the world, then he will definitely bear the brunt. He regretted it again, he had nothing to do but steal back a hidden danger because of anger.
So when he was eating in the morning, Jiang Li looked at everyone solemnly: "I have a dream. ”
"What?" asked Su Xi.
"World peace. Jiang Li swore an oath.
"......" Su Xi looked like you are sick, right?"
"......" Han Lu's gaze was still the same.
"......" Jiang Yue, who came early in the morning, was a little confused.
"......" Song Yuanjin has nothing to do with himself.
"What are you crazy about?" Su Xi slapped down.
"What crazy, I'm serious, I have a dream. Jiang Li looked at everyone: "If people live without dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish." ”
As long as the world is peaceful, as long as people live and work in peace and contentment, then the Baolian lamp is just a tool for lighting. It's a good decision.
In the past, he thought that the dream of world peace was pure nonsense, but now he thinks that maybe it is really a good dream.
Jiang Li was very satisfied, but everyone else was a little confused. But before they could react, someone shouted outside the door again.
"Jiang Li, you come out for me. "It sounds like it's a forsythia sound.
"Hmm, what's the matter?" Jiang Li poked his head out of the window and saw Xuanhua and Forsythia.
"You are despicable and shameless, hand over the lotus lantern. Forsythia gritted her teeth.
This time it was really lost, and it must have been stolen by this person.
"Hey, I, Jiang Li, swear to heaven and earth, if I steal the lotus lantern purchased by Fairy Xuanhua, I will be haunted by demons and will fall into reincarnation forever. Jiang Li was too lazy to talk nonsense, and swore directly: "I said little girl, you won't let me swear every day, I don't care, you are annoying." ”
......
The way Jiang Li swore when he came up made both of them hold their breath. The surrounding audience looked at Xuanhua and the others thoughtfully, pointing and pointing.
"Alright, let's continue eating. Jiang Li didn't bother to pay attention to those people, he hadn't finished breakfast yet.
"Brother. Jiang Yue nervously pulled Jiang Li.
She remembered correctly, didn't her brother say that he was going to steal it back yesterday?
Jiang Li shook his head and said, "See, the best way to deal with this kind of person who frames others in the future is to swear to prove his innocence, which is more useful than any nonsense." ”
Jiang Li passed on his experience to everyone like others.
"Senior sister, what should I do?" Forsythia asked anxiously.
He swore that he must not have stolen it, presumably it was yesterday that made people suspicious. Xuanhua lowered her head slightly, couldn't see clearly, and squeezed her palms hard.
"I'm sorry, senior sister. Forsythia said coquettishly.
"It's okay, let's go back. Xuanhua smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes.
"Senior sister is the best. Forsythia reached out and grabbed Xuanhua's arm.
Xuanhua secretly hated, but thought quickly in her heart. If there is no one to steal in front of her, there are only a handful in this Shangqiu City, even if it is Jin Dan who makes a move.
glanced at the forsythia beside him, and his heart was itching, this troubled woman.
"Knock, knock......"
The rapid sound of the bell rang and spread throughout Shangqiu, and everyone stopped what they were doing and walked out of the house.
"All the monks in the city, please pay attention, the monster forest riots, please go to the city gate quickly. ”
"Didn't you say that there is still half a month?" Jiang Li wondered.
"It's ahead of schedule, in the past six months, there have been many internal riots. Su Xi was still calmly drinking tea.
"Okay. Jiang Li said embarrassedly: "Lulu, where did you say we went at that time?"
"South Gate. Han Lu stood up and said.
"Right against the Demon Beast Forest?" Jiang Li thought for a while and said, "Sure enough, there is no human right to loose cultivation. ”
"Brother, let's go first. Jiang Yue also stood up, and didn't forget to stuff a bun into her mouth.
"Well, go ahead, be careful. Jiang Li looked at Song Yuanjin and said, "Please take care of my sister." ”
"You look down on me? I'm amazing. Jiang Yue was unhappy, and greeted the others: "Sister-in-law, nephew, let's go." ”
Watching the little girl pull Song Yuanjin out like a gust of wind, Jiang Li was helpless, but he felt like a man's back. When he turned around, he saw Su Xi's eyes looking at him with compassion. Puzzled, he said, "What's the matter, you Linglong Pavilion should also have a fixed area, so let's go first." ”
"Master, take care. Han Lu nodded, and then chased Jiang away.
"Who told me to call me that?" Su Xi roared, but his face was slightly red.
And Jiang Li had already taken Han Lu to the south gate, the corners of his mouth were curled, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
All the monks in the city moved, and one after another people came to the south gate, and judging from their clothes, they were basically loose cultivators. Jiang Li was dressed in a purple robe, and Han Lu was dressed in red, and the two stood out in the crowd. And because of the previous conflict with Xuanhua, more or less everyone present knew him.
Jiang Li didn't care, he sat on the city wall, looking at the dense and lush forest in the distance, and there was a faint irritable aura fluctuation, coming from the mountains and forests.
Originally, he thought that the battle would start soon, but it wasn't until the sun was in the sky and he yawned that Jiang Li heard a beast roar.
The sound of the beast's hooves trampling was mixed with all kinds of beast roars.
Looking up, the demon beasts that were connected rushed out of the demon beast forest, with all kinds of varieties, just a group of miscellaneous soldiers, and the highest level was only the appearance of the fourth or fifth order. What made Jiang Li speechless the most was that he actually saw a group of rabbits in front of this group of miscellaneous teams.
In fact, the demon beast siege still has more benefits than disadvantages for monks, especially for casual cultivators. Because the demon beasts killed, whether they are fur, blood or beast meat, can be exchanged for a lot of spirit stones. Moreover, participating in the siege of demon beasts also has some benefits given by the city lord's mansion, such as healing pills, talismans, etc. These are the most scarce for casual cultivation, even if they don't use them, they can be resold for some spirit stones in the later stage. Even if you don't sell it, it's good to keep it for a rainy day, it's all life-saving things.
Jiang Li had no intention of going down, with the level of these demon beasts, he could sweep through the area with one shot, without any challenge.
The sunlight was dazzling, the sound of beast roars and the collision of various weapons was in my ears, and the smell of blood in the air was getting heavier and heavier. Jiang Li felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and poured several sips of wine in a row before he pressed down slightly.
It had been years since he was not too used to this kind of mass killing. Even if there are many demon beasts that die in their hands, there are still people.
Jiang Li had never killed a chicken in his previous life, and now his hands were stained with blood.
However, to achieve no fluctuations, in fact, there is still a lot of heat.
I watched a person be bitten off his arm by a demon beast, turned his head and was stabbed in the stomach with a knife, and then his head was bitten off by other demon beasts. The light of all kinds of spells lit up, and the man died, and so did the beast.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest, the weak eat the strong.
It's too intuitive.
"Lulu, are you okay. Jiang Li asked worriedly.
"Nothing. ”
Han Lu, dressed in red and holding a spear in his hand, jumped down from the city wall, each shot piercing the opponent's forehead. The gun flashed with an arc of electricity, slightly blocking the opponent's movement.
With Han Lu's joining, the monks of the human race have reduced a lot of burdens, and people saw a red-clothed female cultivator, among the demon beasts, rushing left and right, and the spear in her hand took away a life with every shot. The blood splashed on his face and he didn't frown, as if there was no one around, only focused on harvesting the lives of his subordinates.
Looking at Han Lu like this, Jiang Li was relieved and a little worried at the same time, and wondered if he was in the wrong direction of education, how could he teach such an adventurous apprentice.
At the same time, Han Lu's performance also attracted the attention of everyone in the City Lord's Mansion.
The situation of the four city gates in the water curtain mirror is displayed in front of everyone.
"This girl is good, this kind of strength is rare in casual cultivation, and my casual cultivation alliance can be regarded as a successor. A bearded man laughed and said to a person next to him: "Old ghost, how about it, it's not weaker than you sect disciples." ”
"It's good, it's a pity to be a casual cultivator. The man known as the old ghost nodded and said to a young man standing beside him, "When you're done, ask her if she's interested in coming to our Xingyue Gate." ”
"Old ghost. The bearded man said: "This is a disciple of my Scattered Cultivation Alliance, look at this girl's moves, this expression, it's a pity to go to your sect." ”
"What do you mean?" said the old ghost angrily.
"What do I mean?" said the cheeky man disdainfully, "Do you know what a fight is? Look at your sect disciples, one by one, fighting is like dancing, bells and whistles, good young people, they don't even have the most basic momentum, their moves are stiff, especially those female cultivators, like a canary. If you go to the sect, you will be wasted if you can't keep it. ”
"You know what? You're a rough man. The old ghost disagreed: "A little girl, want to make you like this?"
"What's wrong with me? Old ghost, I haven't fought for many years, why do you want to practice?" the big man rolled up his sleeves and was about to start.
"Two, two. The Shangqiu City Lord, who was sitting at the top, wiped his cold sweat and said, "After the siege is over, you two might as well talk to someone, and you should also listen to what they mean." ”
"Hmph, this girl seems to belong to my Scattered Cultivation Alliance. The cheeky man said firmly.
"Only by going to the sect can we have better resources, better access to cultivation techniques, and a broader world. The old ghost was disdainful.
"Wait, you see. It was a middle-aged monk who spoke, pointing to the water curtain mirror.
