Chapter 17: The Poison Sutra

Suffocate!

Invisible pressure hangs over everyone's heart like a mountain, making everyone lose the space to breathe freely.

Dugu Hexuan, a disciple of Cihang Peak, and a disciple who was also entrusted by Yuan Shi Peak, finally appeared in the final battle of Yuan Ming Huiwu. Even if he won the second place, he slapped some people in the face outright, and returned a "humiliating" gift to some people and forces. Not to mention, with the humble capital of Taoism, he successively defeated the gold content of Taichong, Jia Yuyan, and Liu Yu.

Only one step away, he can "reproduce" the former glory of the ancestor Zen Xinzhen.

Yes, defeating the last opponent, Xiao Yan, should have no choice.

Xiao Yan, the proud disciple of the first seat of Taihua Peak, seems to be the undisputed first person in his generation. How many female disciples of the same sect who have just started to fall in love with it are fond of it and envy many senior brothers. At this moment, Jia Yuyan, who was in love with him, was full of happiness and relief in his eyes, and he was also proud and more imposing.

The boy who was slowly climbing the stairway seemed to be walking the last tragic stretch of the road.

Dugu Hexuan has won all the way, and in the case of the great disparity in the realm of Taoism, he benefited from the power of the bloodline, the mutual restraint of supernatural powers, and the "assistance" of others. If it weren't for the fact that other people were trying their best to reconsume Liu Yu, Chu Yi and others when they were about to lose, probably Dugu Hexuan himself didn't expect this step. And his last opponent only won Ziang of Yuan Shifeng by an extremely narrow margin, and his own consumption was self-evident.

Opportunities are always given to those who are prepared!

Xiao Yan, a graceful and humble gentleman, hugged his fists slightly, and said: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Hexuan, who has won victories one after another! It is fortunate to meet the 'Yin and Yang' sword qi in Cihang's nine styles, which is the luck of a foolish brother." ”

Dugu Hexuan, with his **, said sadly, "Alas! Are all the straw bales in the world eaten from soft rice?"

Xiao Yan's face changed slightly, but he was not impatient, which showed the tenacity of his Dao heart, he just said calmly: "Little junior brother, who eats soft rice?"

Dugu Hexuan pretended to look at the audience unintentionally, and sighed: "Someone's master, it's like leaning on a woman, but the result is not good." Someone has the legacy of his teacher and follows in the footsteps of his teacher. Haha! It's funny!" In order to win the opponent, don't expect people like Dugu Hexuan to play cards according to common sense.

Xiao Yan's face changed slightly, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he roared: "You have to pay for what you said!"

"Cut! Defeat to a manly husband, a hero, a hero, the man of the Dugu family will never be ashamed. But if you lose to a big straw bag with a pink face who only knows how to touch the little girl's buttocks, and a hypocrite who pretends to have a belly of stinky shit, it is absolutely impossible. Dugu Hexuan thought to himself, I'll be angry with you first.

"You ......" Xiao Yan pointed his hand, suddenly sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think that a scoundrel and a thug's vulgar words can provoke me? I just want to tell you a truth today, a person can't rely on luck forever!"

"What a coincidence!" Dugu Hexuan snorted coldly and said with a smile: "I also want to tell you a truth, hypocrites who eat soft rice are only suitable for living in a gentle township." ”

"Wow~" Xiao Yan couldn't hide the anger in his heart, and the fairy sword "Yanhuang" in his hand flashed a beam of flames, turning into a wall of fire in the blink of an eye. The fire burned more and more. Xiao Yan turned into a fire man.

Dugu Hexuan looked up to the sky and laughed, and without waiting for Xiao Yan to cast his next spell, the whole person rushed over like a bull. The moment the Open Heaven Demon Halberd entered the wall of fire, the Xuanqing light suddenly flourished, instantly suppressing the power of fire. Suddenly, Dugu Hexuan held the halberd in his left hand and swung his fist with his right hand, smashing it towards Xiao Yan's heart.

"Maniac!"

Everyone in the audience screamed at the same time!

Xiao Yan's Dao Xing was far superior to Dugu Hexuan, and after the sword momentum was broken, he forced a blow with Dao Xing and stabbed Dugu Hexuan's heart with a sword. In the flash of light, the two suddenly attacked each other and suddenly separated. Xiao Yan was knocked to the ground, and streams of blood gushed out of his mouth. Dugu Hexuan's left chest had an extra sword mark, but the whole person was still standing firmly.

When Xiao Yan stabbed Dugu Hexuan, he suddenly felt that he was facing a madman, a madman without a heart. It was the slightest hesitation that made him lose completely. That's why it's so, it's because Dugu Hexuan's punch is a blow with no Dao magic power at all, just a blow of the most primitive power.

"You're not afraid of death?"

"I'm not afraid of death, why am I afraid of death?" Dugu Hexuan laughed, slowly walked towards Xiao Yan, and while Xiao Yan was not paying attention, he lifted Xiao Yan and threw it in the direction of Jia Yuyan, yelling: "Give me down, you." ”

"I'm going to kill you!"

Ximen Ying let out a terrible roar, regardless of it, the Thousand Shadows Immortal rushed to the stage, wanting to kill Dugu Hexuan. Suddenly, Dugu Hexuan disappeared on the Huiwu platform.

"You want to kill me, then I'll have to kill you first!" Dugu Hexuan suddenly appeared behind Ximen Ying, and the halberd only stabbed at the back of her heart. In an instant, a sword appeared in front of the two, and Dugu Hexuan was bounced away.

Ximen Ying said angrily: "Uncle Jingcheng, Dugu Hexuan insulted my senior brother too much, he should be severely punished!"

"Wrong!" Elder Jing Cheng said flatly, "Senior Nephew Hexuan has never violated the rules of martial arts from beginning to end. On the contrary, it was Xiao Ying, who violated the second rule of martial arts proposed by Senior Brother Pu Yu. Therefore, your place will be cancelled and the reward will be collected by the person who will fill in later. ”

"You stinky boy, just now you actually used the Fu family's 'invisible charm' to sneak attack the same door. It seems that there will be another rule in the future. Elder Jingcheng glanced at Dugu Hexuan, and then announced, "Dugu Hexuan, disciple of Cihang Peak Buddhist Academy, win!"

Dugu Hexuan stood up and looked south, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Cihang Ancestor, Master, Master, I shouldn't have disgraced you! One day, I will definitely magnify the Cihang line, and never let the Cihang line continue to become a shameful 'parasite'." ”

The atmosphere in the canopy pavilion was unusually solemn.

The eight people standing in front of the elders, two each from the two peaks of Yuan Shi and Taihua, one each from the two peaks of Jin Xia, Jin Guang, and Lingbao, and the one who won the championship was a disciple of Cihang Peak who was entrusted by Yuan Shi Peak. Therefore, Dugu Hexuan has become the only one who represents the forces of one side alone.

Although Dugu Hexuan received the highest reward, the five-grade elixir, compared to the "Vermilion String Sword" and "Vermilion Bird Sword", it did not take the slightest advantage at all. Perhaps it was for this reason that when the other elders looked at Elder Zi Yi intentionally or unintentionally, their silent ridicule became thicker and more exciting. For Elder Ziyi, this great shame was "given" to him by himself, and he couldn't complain about anyone. For her, perhaps Dugu Hexuan's last sentence was the most touching.

The reward ends. In order to give the two elders Pu Yu and Zi Jing an excuse to leave, Elder Jing Cheng was full of joy and said some polite words, and then announced the successful completion of the first Yuan Ming Huiwu.

"Uh-huh, Senior Brother Yuanyu, if you have something to say in front of everyone!" Elder Taibao looked up at the top of the canopy, with a nameless and funny face, and said slowly, "Everyone understands people, don't make it seem like a lot of things can't be seen." ”

Elder Yuanyu said in a deep voice: "Senior brother is laughing, there is nothing to do!"

"Really?" Elder Taibao squinted slightly, and said in a strange voice: "How did I hear that Senior Brother Zhangzhang has already decided that if Hexuan Little Wang Bastard can enter the top four, he will return a thing that originally belonged to Cihang Peak to its original owner." Why don't you take it out and let everyone see it? This matter, after all, is borrowed from the east wind of the Yuan Ming Huiwu, and the twelve of us must have the right to know. ”

"You're the old bastard!" Dugu Hexuan raised his eyebrows and glared: "Old thing, believe it or not, I poke 10,000 transparent holes in you?"

Elder Jing Cheng slapped the table and said, "Bold! Presumptuous! How can you talk like this to the senior elders of the sect?"

"Stinky boy, be careful of Elder Ben, I'll cut you!" Elder Taibao grinned and said, "Senior Brother Jingcheng, forget it." The sect finally came up with a junior who could look pleasing to the eye, so there was no need to care. ”

Elder Ji also said, "Senior Brother Yuanyu, I accidentally heard what Senior Brother Taibao said. Or ......"

Yuan Yu glanced at Elder Jing Cheng, and Elder Jing Cheng said, "This matter does not violate the rules of martial arts. "Elder Jing Cheng has a completely consistent attitude of doing things according to the rules, only in this way can he advance and retreat freely.

Elder Yuanyu cleared his throat and said, "Senior Brother did give me an order, if Senior Brother Hexuan can enter the top four, he will return the 'Nine Absolute Swords' left by Senior Uncle Zen Xin to its original owner. ”

Dugu Hexuan took the sword box, couldn't wait to open it, and exclaimed softly: "Sure enough, it's broken." After a pause, he looked at Elder Zi Ying, and deliberately said in a sad voice: "Master, you really have the ability to be a prophet! I knew that my grandson would be suppressed and excluded, so I left this broken sword early, reminding my grandson that when I recast the divine sword, it was the time to revive Cihang Peak." ”

"Wonderful! It's wonderful!" Elder Taibao pretended to be stunned and exclaimed, "Senior Brother's hand is really beautiful. However, I still admire Uncle Zen Xin even more......"

"Hmm~" Elder Jingcheng interrupted Elder Taibao and said, "This matter is in line with the rules of the martial arts. Now that it's clear, let's disperse. ”

The other elders were silent. No one cares about this broken sword, they only care about other intriguing things that come from this broken sword. The direct effect of this remnant sword was naturally to give a resounding slap to the first Elder of Cihang Peak in front of everyone, and the sword was pointed at the Supreme Elder behind her.

Faintly, this is a small reminder!

Elder Purple Tree stood up with a snort, and Edgeworth left. If the previous shame was self-inflicted, then this greater shame was "given" by others. The timing chosen by others made her only smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. When she left, she saw her beloved disciple and beloved son standing in the audience, and suddenly woke up, could this be retribution? Could it be that her master Zen Annihilation Dazhen did not pass on the "Heavenly Divine Sword" to herself, because he had already seen the misfortune of Cihang Peak?

She was lonely and "escaped" from Huang Tingfeng. At this moment, she seemed to see the green light and yellow scroll, the teacher and sister who had been infinitely despised and suppressed by herself, were smiling at her. In charge of Cihang, she suddenly had a strong desire to go to the "Buddhist Temple" to see.

It seems that from the moment she knew that the Zen Heart True Person had left the secret of the "Nine Peerless Swords" at Yuan Shi Peak, she realized that everything that once seemed to have ended was a beginning、......!

More than 2,000 years ago, the Nine Absolute Demon Swords were vertical and horizontal, between the bloodthirsty heaven and the earth. Now, it has become two ordinary broken swords that have been ignored by the world.

Dugu Hexuan stared at the remnant sword stupidly, and recited this sentence silently, as if there was an endless meaning of words. After a long time, he slowly closed the sword box and put it into the Ruyi bag. Unconsciously, a layer of frost appeared on his face, his lips opened lightly, and he said word by word:

"Absolutely...... Own!"

"The old man told me about the sword. Now, the sword is in my hands. Dugu Hexuan muttered to himself, "Coincidence?"

At noon, the sun was blazing. Rays of sunlight shone through the window, and a trace of warmth slowly gathered, melting the chill in the room. Looking out the window, I had a lot of thoughts. For some reason, Dugu Hexuan suddenly had an indescribable feeling, and always felt that this "Yuanming Huiwu" was coming for him. It seems that he has become a weight on the scale, a touchstone, and a person who has been discovered with ulterior motives.

If so, what will happen next?

The orange elixir is crystal clear, and the ripples are like clear waves. As the last ripple vanished, so did the elixir, disappearing into a small mouth.

Under the sun, a pile of spirit stones emitted a dazzling blue light. Dugu Hexuan meditated cross-legged in front of him, worrying about peace and concentrating. Suddenly, there was a "cooing" sound in the dantian, which seemed to be blistering in the eyes of the clear spring. A moment later, the bubbling spring water flowed to the eight veins of the body. Like a stream full of gold mountains, there is no order, scattered and flowing. Wherever they passed, they reshaped the blocked meridians and forged the necrotic and stiff bones.

Time passed quietly.

In the quiet room, the sound of dust falling on the ground is like the whispers of the old man of time, and the slowly disappearing sunlight leaves a little blood-colored afterglow.

Suddenly, there was a red glow in the room.

Then, the scent of blood filled the room, and the red light filled the room.

The corners of Dugu Hexuan's mouth oozed bright red blood, the old one became cold and coagulated, and the new one dissolved and blended. In a trance, a blood clot in the shape of a "heart" was formed, which was held by an invisible force and suspended in the air.

At this moment, the Open Heaven Demon Halberd quietly hung in the air, silently moving towards the piece of clotted blood, and the tip of the Demon Halberd "pierced" into the "heart" shaped blood clot. Suddenly, a force that opened the sky broke into Dugu Hexuan's sea of divine consciousness, and the streams of the whole body suddenly turned into a torrent, surging, surging towards Baihui, forming a "tornado", wanting to break through the sky.

Under the absorption of the mysterious power, a large pile of blue spirit stones slowly floated, wrapped around the magic halberd. The Open Heaven Demon Halberd has become a large "melting pot" that refines and accommodates the spiritual power of the spirit stone, wisps of pure blue light, rising and extinguishing, extinguishing and rebirthing, like a ring without a reason, forever. One after another, the pure spiritual power rushed out of the tip of the halberd, like the mysterious spiritual qi between heaven and earth, and was swallowed by the mysterious "tornado".

The "tornado" is in a hurry, but it is difficult to break free from the shackles of the eye of the clear spring in the dantian. Under the effect of this mysterious binding force, the powerful and mysterious xenomorph spiritual power in the tornado, like the Tianhe River bursting its embankment, poured into Baihui, and rushed straight to the dantian. Suddenly, Dugu Hexuan's heart seemed to have an ethereal "mountain", blocking the spiritual power that rushed straight down.

This situation is exactly the same as the obstacle breaking when the foundation is broken. The ecstasy in my heart diluted the pain caused by the torn and reshaped body. As long as you break through this barrier, open up the Jade Mansion at the dantian, build the foundation successfully, and fill the Jade Mansion with true yuan spiritual power. For monks, even if they have entered the realm of the mysteries of immortal cultivation, they have become a real immortal cultivator.

However, that ethereal "mountain" is like a bottomless black hole, greedily devouring inexhaustible spiritual power. Dugu Hexuan gradually entered a kind of blurred illusion, lost control of himself, and let everything happen freely.

After a long, long time, Dugu Hexuan felt a fire appear in his heart, a fire hidden in the "heart of the mountain". The spiritual power that poured into the Baihui was divided into four parts, 30% entered the spiritual aperture and was contained by the root, 30% entered the "mountain heart" at the mouth of the heart, and became the salary of the flame, 30% wandered through the Du vein, passed through the perineum, and merged into the eye of the clear spring, and the remaining 10% was divided into two and absorbed by the "waves" and "snowballs".

At this moment, all the spirit stones had become ordinary stones, and the slowly weakening tornado was still struggling, sensing and absorbing the meager spiritual energy and mysterious energy in the air. The heart-shaped blood clotted blood all disappeared into the magic halberd, and the aura emanating from the magic halberd became stronger and stronger.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and Daigo is empowered.

The roots are slightly thicker. The flames are a little stronger. Waves snowball, one yang and one yin, slightly stronger. The eye of the clear spring, coming without a trace, going without a trace, still disappearing into nothingness.

"Pure Spirit Realm...... Kuju!"

Dugu Hexuan looked at himself inwardly and was extremely helpless. I know that if it weren't for this flame that was born out of nowhere, I would definitely be able to "open up the Jade Mansion, break the barrier and build the foundation", directly break through the number of the True Yuan Realm, and soar into the sky. However, what was supposed to be a bright future is still like a nightmare. In today's world, in the case of continuously obtaining the fourth-grade and fifth-grade elixirs, as well as having sufficient third-grade elixirs, there is no breakthrough and achievement, I am afraid that there is only such a miracle.

"Am I really worse than a pig?"

When I thought of Lingbao Peak's personal disciples and inner disciples, due to the chance, the four grade spirit pills, all of them already had solid stamina, accumulated steadily, and their overall strength even surpassed that of the two veins of Immortal Crane and Golden Light. Dugu Hexuan inevitably laughs at himself and sighs from the heart. It's just that when everything becomes an established fact, there is no other way but to face it.

Dugu Hexuan stood up, raised his head to look at the moon, a round of the moon in the sky, and the galaxy was dim. Bow your head and think deeply, and all thoughts are fluttering like catkins. After tidying up, he walked to the side of the bed and lay down slowly. The Open Heaven Demon Halberd returned to its original state and quietly guarded the head of the bed.

"Hey, why hasn't you come back? Isn't it lost?"

When I woke up, it was the next evening. The afterglow of the setting sun stays in the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, and suddenly it is a mirage of fog. Dugu Hexuan muttered to himself, walked slowly on the mountain road, and tried to find Lao Hei. All the familiar mountain roads seem to be the whereabouts of Lao Hei. But after thinking about it for a while, Dugu Hexuan quickly chose one, and his steps sped up a lot.

Looking at the cracks in the mountain that were cracked by the strong force, Dugu Hexuan was a little at a loss. His eyes swept over, and finally stopped, and a chill gradually appeared. A few days ago, the fifth-order demon beast Great Green Snake suddenly appeared, and although it was easily killed by Lao Hei, it did not attract the inspection of the sect elders. As night fell, the jungle looked eerie.

After standing for a long time, Dugu Hexuan walked into the jungle and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

It was about late at night that he came out of the depths of the jungle like a ghost. There are words in his mouth, and he seems to be angry. As he walked back, his sensitive nose smelled the familiar smell of blood, and the farther he went, the stronger the smell of blood permeated the air. Dugu Hexuan clenched the Heaven Opening Demon Halberd in his hand, did not hesitate, and walked forward with a calm and powerful step.

It was a hillside where several forks in the road converged, and nine corpses lay faintly in the darkness. Dugu Hexuan walked to the nearest corpse, and probed the major artery in his neck in the dark, although the person was dead, he still had body temperature. It was immediately concluded that the men had been dead for less than half an hour. After a little consideration, Dugu Hexuan took out the jade, injected spiritual power, and used the jade light to check each corpse one by one. When the ninth body was inspected, there were nine more wishful bags in his hand.

These nine people were all stabbed to death by the weapons in their own hands, like a collective "funeral". The people who killed them seemed to be so much higher than them that they didn't even have a chance to draw their swords. The people who killed them only came to kill them, so the nine wishful bags and a high-grade magic weapon were all kept.

Dugu Hexuan smiled faintly and said in a low voice: "It's getting more and more interesting! It's time to come, just let it come!" Shaoqing returned to his room and quietly waited for the elders' questioning.

Since breaking through to the Ninth Fold, Dugu Hexuan's use of spirit stones has skyrocketed. Now, judging from the completion of a complete cultivation, one spirit stone is only enough for cultivation four times a day. The amount of use of the Open Heaven Demon Halberd has decreased sharply, but it still needs about a thousand spirit stones every day. At the same time, if you want to reforge the "Nine Absolute Demon Sword", you need to go through seven difficulties, and the first difficulty is to forge the spirit. The first level of soul casting is beyond the reach of human beings, and can only be carried out with unique refining vessels. The vessel itself is extremely valuable. In addition, the higher the level of magic weapons, the more spiritual power needs to be cast.

Therefore, Dugu Hexuan's demand for spirit stones has reached a new level.

This matter, if it had been a few days ago, Dugu Hexuan would only smile slightly, noncommittal. But as soon as the meeting was over, nine corpses appeared near the Yellow Courtyard in a very timely manner. Dugu Hexuan's speculation and inference are becoming reality step by step. Therefore, it is not difficult to judge that the source of his spirit stone is probably about to be exposed under the noses of others.

"Perhaps, this is the last time God will help me!

Dugu Hexuan thought about it as he began to sort out the nine wishful bags. A brand-new high-level Ruyi bag, eight brand-new mid-level Ruyi bags, is enough to show the unusual identity of those nine people. It seems that these wishful bags are newly given by others and have not yet had time to use them. Only the high-grade Ruyi bag contained hundreds of spirit stones of excellent quality, as well as a book without a cover.

"Poison Sutra!" Dugu Hexuan suddenly roared angrily, and the whole person stood up in shock, his face turned pale in an instant, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. After a long time, he slowly sat down, looking at the scroll in his hand with demented eyes, his eyebrows were full of murder and anger.

"Why did the Zhu family's "Poison Sutra" appear on that stranger? Could it be that it was the Zhu family who came to kill me?" Dugu Hexuan slapped the table heavily, looked up to the sky and roared, and said loudly: "What happened in Longyuan Valley?"

"Poor boy, I can tell you!"

There was a casual voice outside the door. Dugu Hexuan's eyes showed a fierce light, and the whole person completely lost his mind and rushed out directly.
