Chapter 229: Strange Changes in the Front
Su Chen was bored, but he didn't expect that just a few glances behind the Taoist temple, he found that there were a large number of bloody stones hidden behind the statue of Daozun.
Meng Qishan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ran over, and sure enough, there were many bloody stones scattered behind the statue of Daozun.
"These blood stones seem to be just long, and there is no red liquid inside the stones. ”
Meng Qishan picked up a piece and looked at it, and found that there were still some differences from the blood stone that Su Chen gave him before, the inside of the blood stone in Su Chen's hand seemed to be wrapped in blood, and the blood stone behind the statue of Daozun was just an empty stone, only a little red on the surface.
"Brother Meng, I'm sure these stones are the Blood Stones of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but for some reason, they appear here, and the Blood Stones seem to have been hollowed out?"
"Xiaochen, why are you so sure?" Meng Qishan turned his head with an inquiring look in his eyes.
"Brother Meng didn't know that this kind of bright red stone was rare, and it was impossible for it to appear at the bottom of Zhenling Mountain for no reason. And I heard that every year, many merchants from the north come to the Southern Tang Dynasty and name them to buy the Blood Stone, which is why although the Blood River is a forbidden place in the Southern Tang Dynasty, there are still so many people who secretly go down to the river to search for the Blood Stone. ”
"Xiaochen, do you know who those people who came to Nantang to buy the Blood Stones?" Meng Qishan seemed to have discovered something, and his voice was a little hurried.
"I don't know. Su Chen shook his head, he hadn't gone to the Blood Rock River to fish for the Blood Stone, so naturally he hadn't dealt with these people, "It's just ......" Su Chen raised his head again, and stopped talking.
"It's just what? Xiaochen, tell me quickly, this matter is very important. Meng Qishan became more and more anxious, looking up at the outside from time to time.
Seeing Meng Qishan like this, Su Chen didn't dare to slack off, and tried hard to recall the information he knew about the Blood Stone.
"I heard that every time a merchant comes to Nantang to buy the Blood Stone, there will be several people, and they are all wearing the same costume for many years, and they have never changed, it should be a certain organization or sect that wants to buy the Blood Stone. Su Chen frowned, thought hard, and after a few breaths, he suddenly said loudly: "By the way, the few people we saw in the Qing Shopkeeper Tea Shop today should be them." ”
"You mean those four people from the Bishan faction?" Meng Qishan's face was cloudy.
"Bishan Sect?", Su Chen was a little dazed, then he looked happy and nodded, "Yes, it's them." ”
After a while, he continued to analyze: "Ninety percent of the Blood Stones that appear in the Southern Tang Dynasty every year have been acquired by the disciples of the Bishan Sect, I think those people must have been controlled by the blood cloud that attacked us just now, and they fell here, and at the same time, the Blood Stones were also left here. ”
What Xiaochen said is not unreasonable. Meng Qishan agreed with Su Chen's opinion, but suddenly, he spoke again, "But we have been searching here for so long, but we have not found half a corpse, let alone a living person." ”
What Meng Qishan said was very reasonable, Su Chen was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to refute it, he turned his head over and looked at the statue of Daozun again.
But at this moment, the statue of Daozun underwent an unexpected change for him, and he saw that the two stone eyes of the statue came to life at this moment, and his upper and lower jaws moved.
"Brother Meng!"
Su Chen shouted, Meng Qishan hurriedly rushed over, and the eyes of the Daozun statue shot out two fierce and incomparable pillars of light, as soon as the pillar of light touched the wall, the entire Taoist temple collapsed to the ground with a bang.
Fortunately, thanks to Su Chen's reminder, Meng Qishan was able to react in time and jumped out of the Taoist temple with Su Chen, narrowly avoiding the beam.
"Isn't this red beam of light floating on the boardwalk?"
"It seems that we were pulled to the bottom of Zhenling Mountain by cyan beams before. ”
Meng Qishan and Su Chen spoke at the same time, both of them saw the shock from each other's gazes, and the blue and red beams of light that left the Daozun statue were already entangled, and no one could ask anyone.
After a while, the two beams of light separated, each retreating a few feet, constantly surging in the air, and in just a few breaths, the red beam of light condensed into a blood shadow several feet high.
The blood shadow vaguely looked like a human race, but there was a third eye in the center of his eyebrows, glowing with a blood-colored red light, which looked extremely hideous.
On the other hand, the cyan beam of light that fell on the side of Su Chen and Meng Qishan also condensed into a cyan phantom, but the body was only the size of an ordinary person, and his face was extremely young and ordinary.
Meng Qishan and Su Chen looked at the cyan phantom in a daze, as if they had been immobilized, motionless.
"Qing Shang, it seems that it has only been thousands of years since the incarnation of the stone statue suppressed Nanling, and those people in the Daomen have long forgotten about you, this kid from the Daomen doesn't even know you, and the line of thinking about you going to the forbidden Dao has long been cut off. ”
Su Chen never expected that the blood shadow would be able to spit out words, and what he saw today, Su Chen could definitely be sure that it was the "strange power and chaos" that the Confucian sages avoided talking about. He clenched his fists, his expression was a little dazed, and a voice kept coming from his head, "Could it be that after reading the study of saints for more than ten years, he was actually lying to him?"
The phantom who was called Qingshang didn't pay attention to the blood shadow, but glanced at Meng Qishan and Su Chen, and his eyes showed all the thoughts in his eyes.
Su Chen didn't know how to describe that glance, he felt that at that moment, whether it was his body or soul, he was seen through by the cyan phantom at a glance, and there was no secret at all.
"I didn't expect that the three eyes who used to dominate the South Ridge would end up in such a field, and they relied on the method of turning blood to escape. ”
Qing Shang was-for-tat, sneering at each other, his tone was not weak at all, although his voice was not loud, but not a word shocked Su Chen's heart, and it clearly echoed in his mind.
"Hmph! This seat is now out, and you, lacking the power of worship and faith, how can you stop me with your remnant soul now? Besides, the one under this broken view is about to wake up, even if you are in your prime, you can only suppress this place by yourself, what can you do to stop it now?"
The blood shadow spoke again, and at the same time, two blood-colored horses suddenly attacked Su Chen and Meng Qishan on the side, Qing Shang kept staring at the blood shadow, and at the moment he made a move, he also threw out two green mangs and turned into cyan small swords to shatter the blood-colored horses in time.
"Who are you learning from?" Qing Shang suddenly turned his head and asked Meng Qishan.
Meng Qishan didn't expect Qing Shang to suddenly ask himself, his expression was a little nervous, just when Qing Shang looked at him for the first time, Meng Qishan found that the invisible prohibition on his body had been lifted, but after the restoration of his cultivation to the supernatural power, he didn't dare to make the slightest move, whether it was Qing Shang or the blood shadow, it seemed to be a boundless mountain, and he couldn't breathe.
"I ...... I am a disciple of Taihemen......" Meng Qishan stammered, quickly lowered his head, and only dared to look at Qing Shang with his spare eyes.
"Taihemen?" Qingshang muttered, lost in thought. After a while, Qing Shang suddenly laughed insolently after asking, "I see." After laughing, Qing Shang suddenly turned his head and glanced at Su Chen again, with a strange look in his eyes.
Qing Shang seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and the phantoms became uncertain, and at this moment, the blood shadow seized this opportunity, and his body several feet tall held a huge blood axe and slashed towards Qing Shang.
Qing Shang condensed a gossip in front of him at the moment when the blood axe arrived, and the gossip was all composed of cyan flying swords, which kept spinning in the air, and the two collided, producing a huge impact.
Meng Qishan knew this for a long time, and at the previous moment, he propped up a light mask, pulled up Su Chen, and turned into a streamer and instantly retreated dozens of feet.
"Huh?"
Meng Qishan, who had escaped from the scope of the war, had his pupils shrunk, staring at the clouds above, seriously revealing a dignified color, only to see hundreds of figures appear in the blood-colored clouds, some of which he knew, and had seen them in the tea shop before, including four people who were suspected to be disciples of the Bishan Sect.
And more are those that Meng Qishan and Su Chen don't know, but they have a guess in their hearts, these people are all business travelers who have fallen here for countless years.
It's just that this dense figure still has a trace of a living person, with red eyes, empty eyes, and a bloodless face, just like a walking corpse.
"This is a blood slave!" Meng Qishan was shocked, he didn't expect that the blood shadow was actually a blood demon, there had been no blood demon on the continent for hundreds of years, a few blood slaves were not terrible, Meng Qishan could easily kill them, but if there were hundreds of blood demons, with his current cultivation in the third realm of the imperial realm, there was only one way to escape, not to mention that there was a Su Chen beside him who had never even stepped into the first layer of the spiritual realm.
Meng Qishan quietly retreated, but the hundreds of blood slaves seemed to have expected it, and instantly surrounded Meng Qishan and Su Chen, not giving them the slightest possibility of escaping.
"Xiaochen, do you know what else my Taihemen will do besides seeking Dao and cultivating immortals?" Seeing that he couldn't escape, Meng Qishan's expression calmed down instead, and said solemnly to Su Chen.
"No...... I don't know ......" Su Chen's expression was frightened, and he felt more and more that the idea in his mind was correct, and the sage books of more than ten years seemed to have deceived him.
"Then you will be optimistic today, my disciple of Taihemen, the monks of this heaven and earth, in addition to seeking the Tao and cultivating immortals......"
"There's a must-know!"
"That's the Demon Slayer!"
Meng Qishan's last few words, the tone was unquestionable, as soon as his words fell, Su Chen saw that Meng Qishan's body also rose with a pale cyan light, and then an ink-colored flying sword flew out of his body, trembling lightly in the air.
The moment the flying sword appeared, Meng Qishan's power reached its peak, he held the flying sword in his hand, turned into a cyan streamer, constantly shuttling in the blood-colored clouds, every time he came to a blood slave, before he could react, he was pierced by the flying sword, and then fell to the ground, turning into a pool of blood.
However, the number of hundreds of blood slaves was too much, and every moment there were blood slaves shot down by Meng Qishan, and more blood slaves rushed over, opening their teeth and claws, as if they wanted to tear Meng Qishan to pieces.
Su Chen, who was hiding on the side, was not attacked by the blood slaves for the time being, but when he saw so many blood slaves rushing towards Meng Qishan, he was extremely anxious in his heart.
Su Chen looked up at the blood cloud above, and suddenly frowned, not all the blood slaves rushed out, there were still four blood slaves in the blood cloud stopped in mid-air, Su Chen had an impression of these four people, they were the few people from the Bishan faction who had met in the Qing shopkeeper tea shop before.
Su Chen previously thought that these people had also become three-purpose blood slaves, but now that they looked closely, they were very different, Su Chen found that these people were standing together in four directions, their eyes were closed, and there was a transparent light mask around them to protect several people, making it impossible for the blood cloud to move forward in the slightest.
"Could it be that these people haven't become blood slaves yet?" Su Chen muttered in a low voice, "If that's the case, seeing them like this, they won't last long, and they need to be rescued as soon as possible." ”。
Su Chen thought of it, he was bold, and approached the four people step by step, but the blood cloud in the air automatically dispersed for some reason, and he didn't dare to approach, Su Chen was so anxious that he didn't notice this.
Suddenly, when Su Chen was approaching, the four people who had closed their eyes opened their eyes one after another......
