Chapter 123: The Tipping Point
Li Qingyan didn't bother to pay attention to him. This guy has lived for hundreds of years and is known in history, and there are few people who mix better than him. Now that he's a lonely ghost, the words he scolds are just farts.
What really gave him a headache was the growing strength.
There was an invisible force in the gourd, compressing his body. This is obviously the power of the spell, and it acts directly on him, and there is no way to get rid of it. It was as if all sides were squeezing towards the center, and wherever he went, it was the center.
Gradually, he began to feel heat. Seep through the cracks in his scales, into the eight veins of the Strange Meridian. Then he traveled along the meridians, starting from the inside to pull his musculos, bones and blood. There was gravity inside, and pressure outside, and in the increasingly dense fire, he felt that his body began to shrink and collapse uncontrollably in the middle.
Finally, I couldn't help but let out the first moan.
Tang Boqing listened to his voice and became even more excited. He seemed to have become a shroud at this time, and he said everything he thought in his heart.
He scolded: "I can't help you, naturally someone has no choice but to get you! What are you when you are something!? In the end, you have to be refined by Lao Tzu! Do you know how many people Lao Tzu's treasure gourd has refined!? Haha, I'm not afraid to tell you, if I find this thing in that cave, count you now - a whole hundred and three!"
"You have to feel the heat and pain first, and then feel that your muscles and bones and flesh are all squeezed together—do you know why!? You have to squeeze your stinky flesh clean first, and only one body of spiritual power remains! Then squeeze your spiritual power outbreak...... Hehe, at that time, it will be integrated with this treasure gourd, and this magic weapon will become stronger......"
What he said seems to be becoming a reality.
Li Qingyan's scale armor of the god and demon body was crushed and gurgling, and some of it was already embedded in his muscles. He wasn't very afraid of pain, but it meant a not-so-happy ending, and he began to feel a little worried.
It seems that this process will continue for a long time, and Li Qingyan wants to find some way to deal with the situation in front of him.
For example, the oddity of this treasure.
Today's Tang Boqing seems to be unable to hold back once he opens his mouth, in addition to scolding, he began to boast about his past achievements and the process of seeking immortals and Taoism. When he talked about encountering the evil sound of the bell in a cave and the two of them worked together to find these two treasures, Li Qingyan finally spoke.
"This should be the magic weapon of the predecessors in ancient times...... But it was taken by a villain like you. He gritted his teeth as he resisted the powerful force in the gourd, "If that senior knew that you had done this...... I'm going to have to settle accounts with you!"
He said this to ask Tang Boqing about the origin of this thing, and now the machine spirit who had lost his mind was really fooled, and immediately laughed wildly-
"Wha...... Do you know what Lao Tzu found when he found these two treasures? It is a manuscript of the predecessor master in your mouth! Do you know what is written in that manuscript!?hahaha......
"Your so-called senior master is a demon clan! Monkey demon! What did he say that he went to the heavens and the earth to make trouble in the heavenly palace and went west to ask for some true scripture secrets...... What demons do you kill along the way...... These two things were obtained from the demons he slewed!"
"What kind of good person are you? When he was a demon, he ate people! How many lives did he take by force!? The demon clan killed the demon clan, but he still wrote it down proudly...... What is that manuscript called "Journey to the West"......"
Li Qingyan was stunned. At this moment, his mind was lost, he couldn't resist the huge force, and he only felt a sharp pain in his body...... It seems that the whole person has been compressed in a circle.
But he hadn't come back to his senses yet - some memory fragments that existed in his mind jumped out because of the words Tang Boqing said.
When I saw the banana fan and the purple gold gourd, I had a peculiar sense of familiarity...... It seems that when and where I have seen or heard of these two things. According to his experience, once he feels this way, it should be something in his vague memory.
Therefore, he said before that he would spare the lives of two people and ask them carefully.
Now what Tang Boqing said has made his flashback memory fragments clearer and more specific - he had heard of the things in the book called "Journey to the West". And he felt he should know more than this man. In fact, at this moment, many details emerged - the monkey demon broke out of the divine stone...... Make a stick ...... Sharp-eyed ......
Like someone said to him before!
Li Qingyan clearly knew that this could not be a story in the real world. Since ancient times, the demon clan has been suppressed by monks, and if they want their wives to walk peacefully in the world without being discriminated against, they can either be a sacred beast in the mountains, or they will be the "fairy servants" around the monks. How can this kind of majestic story of a demon as the protagonist killing the Quartet, be spread to the world?
It's like when Americans used to oppress Mexicans as slaves, they would never write a romantic hero with a Mexican man as the first protagonist!
It is not uncommon for cultivators to obtain the magic weapons of their predecessors in the ancient caves. But whenever this kind of thing happens, the person who has the treasure will worship the former owner of the magic weapon as a teacher, and no matter what he thinks in his heart, he must always be courteous and courteous in his face. And Tang Boqing's current ridicule and disdain for the previous owner of this magic weapon is because he is a demon clan. He even felt that this demon clan wrote that manuscript and boasted about it, which really made him feel funny.
The question is, if there is really the "Journey to the West" that Tang Boqing said...... It means that this thing coincides with the things in his memory!
This is the first time in the past ten years that Li Qingyan has found another anchor and clue for his vague memory!
His mood was stirring at this moment, and he couldn't defend his whole body. At this time, the pressure in the gourd was even stronger, and in just a second or two, he felt that his muscles and bones were as Tang Boqing said...... are all squeezed to a point, as if ......
I'm about to be forced to come out of my original form!
As soon as he experienced this feeling, his heart suddenly lit up. Immediately, he no longer struggled to fight against the pressure, and unreservedly withdrew all the remaining and faint spiritual power from the hundreds of limbs.
Then it suddenly went dark in front of him, his limbs lost control, and his mind seemed to be lost at this moment.
I could only vaguely hear Tang Boqing's seemingly distant, faint shouting and laughter, as if he was being pushed into an endless abyss. But the next moment, all the scenes and sounds were pulled back violently......
Li Qingyan realized that what he had experienced before and even at this moment was a sense of criticality that had never been reached before.
Blood boiling.
Muscle and bone relaxation.
The spiritual power that had been imprisoned for a long time swept through every corner of his body like a stormy wind and waves.
