Chapter 125 Where is life not Jiangnan?
Looking at the wreckage all over the ground, Jiang Lili was reluctant to sit on the ground, but after the third knife, his energy was a little lost, and he couldn't lift his strength for a while, so he rested against the wall for a long time, and exhaled a breath of turbidity.
The ghost mother has reappeared into her former form, and the eight ghost babies have no sense of fatigue after the battle, but have been rummaging through the wreckage, not knowing what else to find.
The ghost mother slowly walked up to Jiang Lili and asked, "Where should we go now?" Do we go out the same way, or do we go all the way into the hinterland of this cave?"
Jiang Lili thought about it for a long time, felt that this place was a little strange, and remembered that Su Mu and Wu Zhou were walking in another passage, and maybe they were also attacked by powerful ghosts, so she said: "Go out the same way, and then enter another passage, see if you can help Su Mu and Wu Zhou." ”
The ghost mother nodded, called to the eight ghost babies, and then walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave. But after arriving at the entrance of the cave, he found that the cave had been sealed, Jiang Lili's face was slightly ugly, and he lifted the Tiger Soul Knife and slashed several times on the wall, but he never saw any sign of loosening on the rock sealing the cave, and then said hatefully: "It seems that they want to trap us here!"
The ghost mother stretched out her hand and slowly touched the rock, and saw an earthy yellow light slowly emerging from the rock. The ghost mother took a deep breath, put her other hand on the mountain rock, and her body slowly lit up with a faint ghost aura, and after a while, she heard the ghost mother snort, and her body took two steps back uncontrollably.
The yellow light on the rocks was bright, and finally slowly disappeared.
The ghost mother said in a deep voice: "This is not an ordinary stone, there is a formation on it, which connects this stone with the walls around us, and the stone you slash at with one knife has the power spread throughout the cave. If you want to break this stone, you must blow the whole cave away in one fell swoop, or it will be in vain!"
Jiang Lili frowned tightly and asked, "Do you have a way to break this formation?"
The ghost mother shook her head helplessly, and replied: "I am not proficient in these formations, not to mention the endless flow of yin qi above this formation, I don't need to think about it, I know that the one who lays down this kind of formation is at least the strength of the Ascension Realm, how can I break it?"
"Is it the same with the surrounding mountain wall? Maybe we can just break this mountain wall and dig a way out!"
The ghost mother smiled bitterly, "The person who laid out the formation must have thought of such a heavy one. Saying that, the ghost mother slashed at the wall above her head with a ghost qi, and saw that this ghost qi just touched the big stone and then disappeared invisibly.
Jiang Lili still didn't give up, "But why was I able to chop a stone into pieces with a single knife before?"
The ghost mother replied: "The previous formation should not have been activated, this stone is like the eye of the formation, and after it falls, this defensive array will be activated!" At the end, the ghost mother said: "If you are not mistaken, the other passage, that is, the passage that Wu Zhou and Su Mu entered, has already been blocked!"
Jiang Lili hated and scolded the Zhongfu Pearl of this dog's day, and then ventively slashed at the stone blocking the entrance of the cave a few times, then gasped, turned his head to look at the ghost mother and said, "It seems that we can only go to the depths of the cave now?"
The ghost mother nodded after a slight hesitation, and then hesitated: "But we don't know what danger is in the depths of this cave, and the momentum of those ghost generals seems to be forcing us into the depths of the cave。。。。。。 ”
A trace of fierceness appeared on Jiang Lili's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "But can't the two of us just wait here for death? Can't we still pray that those two unreliable people can escape from Hua Cai's hands and come to save us?"
In the end, Jiang Lili said again: "Even if the two of them really have a way, but I can't afford to lose that person!
The ghost mother pondered carefully and felt that what Jiang Lili said was indeed reasonable. It's not because she's not ashamed, but she never thought that Cheng Ru would be able to escape from prison, and then there would be a way to save her group out!
The two of them slowly walked towards the depths of the cave, and there was nothing unusual about the first part of the road, but after walking through the place where they had fought with those powerful ghosts before, they faintly felt that there seemed to be a wave of yin qi in front of them. At first, it was low and undulating, like a fresh breeze, but the deeper I went, the more I felt that this yin qi became stronger, and it was accompanied by a low wheezing sound like a stormy wave and rolled wildly towards the surroundings!
Jiang Lili and the ghost mother stopped, and their eyes showed a hint of surprise. The ghost mother asked extremely hesitantly, "Do we want to continue walking?"
Jiang Lili was silent for a long time, "Can you tell from the ups and downs of this yin qi where this yin qi comes from? Or if this yin qi is emanating from someone in the depths of this passage, can you tell what that person's cultivation is?"
The ghost mother's face was extremely solemn, "At least it's also Shengxuan!"
Jiang Lili hesitated, and when he didn't know what to do for a while, he suddenly heard a hoarse laugh from the depths of the cave, "Where did you come from, junior? Why don't you leave halfway? Come on, Ancestor is waiting for you! Ancestor, I! I haven't tasted the flesh and blood of a living soul for more than ten years." Hey, there's a person in the yang world, happy, happy!"
Jiang Lili and the ghost mother were shocked, and after looking at each other, they suddenly felt that there was wind under their feet. The ghost mother was horrified and shouted, "Hurry up!"
But as soon as the words came out, I felt a huge wind wave behind me, and the whole passage was full of yellow light, but there were still a lot of broken stones that were peeled off the walls by the wind and waves, and you could see how powerful the wind and waves were!
And the figures of the two of them struggled powerlessly in this wind, and even the ghost mother, who was originally imaginary, could not avoid it, but was carried by the wind to the depths of the cave like a scattered fallen leaf.
His brain was drowsy by the wind, and Jiang Lili only felt a pain in his face, only to know that he had fallen to the ground. He shook his head, trying to shake the drowsiness out of his mind. After remembering the strange man who spoke in the depths of this cave, Jiang Lili woke up violently, hurriedly stood up, and saw that he was in a huge cave, and in the center of this cave, an unkempt man was locked in the air by dozens of golden chains thick with thick arms!
Two chains passed through his lute bone, one of them hooked his limbs, four of them locked the soles of his hands and feet, four of them hooked his elbows and knees, three chains hooked his cervical vertebrae, two chains hooked his ribs, and the most permeable was the thickest chain on the top of his head, which went directly through his celestial spirit cover, and the three sharp cones at the top of this chain protruded from his temples and the back of his head!
And in order to hang his body in the air so that it could not be borrowed, each chain was tightened, and it seemed that with another force, the chain would be broken. And he endured this tearing force all the time, and the pain he endured can be imagined!
At this time, this person was chewing on a powerful ghost in his mouth, and the powerful ghost who was originally more than a person tall was only the size of a jelly bean in his mouth, and he was recklessly
wailed, and finally turned into a touch of soul, and was swallowed by this person in one bite!
With a hiccup, the strange man raised his head slightly and glanced at Jiang Lili, and Jiang Lili only felt hairy in his heart.
This person's eyes are extremely small, only one-third the size compared to ordinary people, and the whites of his eyes are bloodshot, looking like a lone wolf who chooses people to devour, and his ferocious aura is more than a hundred times stronger than the ghost Jiang Lili has just seen!
The strange man turned his head and glanced at the ghost mother again, and smiled strangely, "A Yang world, a Rakshasa woman, God really treats me well! Today, I will devour you, a Rakshasa girl, inch by inch, and then enjoy the flesh and blood that I have not enjoyed for hundreds of years!"
Saying that, the strange man opened his mouth, and then felt a strong wind in this cave, and the ghost mother screamed, and her body was swept up by the wind, and slowly flew towards the strange man's mouth!
Seeing the ghost mother screaming, the eight bloody eyes on her forehead opened, and the green silk on her head was like an anchor in the surrounding rocks, and her body slowed down a lot in the wind, but it was still slowly moving towards the strange man, and the green silk couldn't help this kind of force, one after another, like firecrackers!
Jiang Lili gritted his teeth, raised the Tiger Sword, and shouted angrily: "Even you, the old king, also want to eat people? Come on, come on, show Lao Tzu your ability today!"
Saying that, Jiang Lili stepped out one step ahead, and the breeze gathered behind him, and it turned into a small tornado in a short time, like a long whale absorbing water, slowly incorporating the strange wind that the strange man made into his body, and after a while, he saw an extremely long wind blade rising behind Jiang Lili, and its blade slowly fell towards the strange man very slowly!
With a loud bang, Jiang Lili saw that the cave was filled with smoke and dust, and Jiang Lili coughed a few times with great effort, and then tore away the dust in front of him, only to see that behind the dust, the strange man grinned at Jiang Lili with a mouthful of white and abnormal teeth.
Jiang Lili's pupils shrank sharply, and he only felt a pain in his chest, and then he felt his body shoot backwards, smashing on the mountain rock, unable to fall.
The ghost mother, who had not been controlled by the strange man with the wind, hurriedly stepped forward to support Jiang Lili, Jiang Lili slowly got up, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then looked down, and saw a huge scar on his chest!
"Boy, your sword technique is a little weird, come and come, tell the ancestor about the origin, maybe the ancestor will not kill you as soon as the ancestor is happy!"
Jiang Lili's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, slowly picked up the tiger knife that fell to the ground, looked up at the strange man and sneered: "Just an old immortal king and eight calves like you, you go back to your mother's womb to breastfeed, and you still want to do it in front of Lao Tzu?"
The strange man's face turned cold, "I don't know how to lift?"
Jiang Lili clenched the handle of the knife, gritted his teeth, and slashed at the strange man, and saw a trace of cloud qi gathering on the strange man's head.
The strange man looked up with interest as the clouds above his head gathered into clouds, and just as the white clouds fell, the strange man opened his mouth and saw a visible wind shoot out of his mouth, and directly cut the white cloud in half!
"You kid really have a lot of strange methods, come on, come on, take a look at it, what else do you have to do?"
Jiang Lili took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and gurgled his teeth, put on a posture, and slowly fell towards the strange man. But this knife was only halfway down, and I saw Jiang Lili snort, and then a trace of blood oozed from the seven orifices, and the whole person fell directly to the ground!
And a gleam flashed in the strange man's eyes, and he asked sharply, "What kind of sword technique are you, and what is the origin?"
Jiang Lili foamed at the mouth, only smiled, and was silent.
The strange man squinted slightly and then smiled again, "You just have to be proud now, and when I bite your bones one bite at a time, and pull out your meridians inch by inch, you will just beg for mercy!"
Then another wind rolled up from behind Jiang Lili, and the ghost mother screamed angrily, one green silk was divided into two lines, one tightly entangled Jiang Lili, and the other was deeply entangled in the rocks in the cave, but it still couldn't stop such a strong force, the hair broke one by one, and finally saw the hair flying, and Jiang Lili's figure flew towards the strange man's mouth in these hairs!
"Lord!" the ghost mother shouted, hoarse!
Just when Jiang Lili was about to burrow into the strange man's mouth, he saw a cyan bead fly and jingle to the ground. And Jiang Lili fell to the ground in response!
The strange man looked at Jiang Lili who fell in front of him, opened his mouth, but Jiang Lili didn't move at all, and shouted angrily: "Who dares to spoil the good deeds of the ancestor?!"
Seeing Wu Zhou and Su Mu slowly walking out of the mouth of another cave, I saw a trace of cunning flashing in Su Mu's eyes, "I'll just say it, this person only relies on one hand, but he is nothing in front of me!"
Su Mu slowly walked in front of the strange man, picked up the bead on the ground, shook it in front of the strange man proudly, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Are you angry?
Since being beheaded by Hua Cai, Cheng Ru has carried Ah Da back to the City Lord's Mansion and thrown it into a room that is quite good, and there has been no movement. No one snooped, no one guarded it, even the windows were open, and the doors were not locked.
Cheng Ru slowly stood up, walked around in this room, and found that the decoration of this room was really good, antique, complete tables, chairs, beds, and a lot of literati landscape calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Cheng Ru couldn't help but secretly wonder, is he a prisoner or a guest now?
However, Cheng Ru didn't dare to go out of this room, just sat in front of the desk, flipping through the books on the desk. The text on these books is not the script of the underworld, but the general script of the Yang world. At this time, Cheng Ru was reading a miscellaneous book of the famous "Travels of the Southern Dynasties", which seemed to be written by a traveling literati, and it should have been some years. The above record is what the author saw and heard during his travels in the Southern Dynasties, recorded the feng shui and human affairs of each of the twelve countries of the Southern Dynasties, and also described the famous landscapes and landforms in detail, and listed hundreds of ethnic groups in the Southern Dynasties and their respective customs.
Flipping through it, it didn't take long to see that the paragraph describing the people of Chen Guo living and working in peace and contentment was marked out with an ink line, and there was a sentence written next to it that Cheng Ru couldn't understand.
After reading it hastily, Cheng Ru put down the book, looked left and right, and suddenly saw a book that had long been dusted on the shelf, and his heart moved, he got up and took the book in his hand, blew off the dust on it, and wiped it carefully, and saw that the cover was written Jiangnan Spring Water.
When I opened it, I saw that the first chapter was written in Yangzhou, and under these two words, there was an ink painting that could not be seen clearly, and the painting was roughly the pavilions and pavilions of Yangzhou.
Cheng Ru looked up at the pavilion in front of him through the window, his face changed slightly, and then he sat down in front of the desk near the window and flipped through it carefully.
The above is written about the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other cities with Jiangnan style when spring comes, the Lion Garden in Suzhou, the West Lake in Hangzhou, the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, etc., all have detailed records, not only that, but also a lot of poems are published in this book, such as the sentence that describes the West Lake is very famous, "The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red." There are also famous poems that describe Yangzhou, such as "Ten years of Yangzhou dream, win the Qinglou fortunate fame."
And "The world is divided into three moonlit nights, and the two points of scoundrels are Yangzhou." "Wait.
From day to night, Cheng Ru still sat in front of the book table and flipped through the book, with a smile on the corner of his mouth from time to time, and a thought from time to time. In the end, I only felt unbearable pain in my eyes, and when I raised my head, I realized that it was already dark.
Fortunately, there was an oil lamp in this room that seemed to have been idle for a long time, and Cheng Ru lit it and reopened the book, but he was stunned after just looking at it.
The blank spaces on the book were only slightly dim, but now under the light of this oil lamp, those blank spaces slowly revealed the handwriting, not the words of the underworld, but the Jingzhou Tongwen that looked slightly lame, like the handwriting of a five or six-year-old child, and deliberately used a beautiful small block font, but it looked like a toddler, and it looked nondescript.
Cheng Ru then remembered that ghosts can see things in the dark, and Hua Cai, who is the son of ghosts, should be no exception, but why is there an oil lamp on the desk?
The handwriting on this is a mark, which is nothing more than the private words of some little women, for example, under the ink painting at the beginning of the Yangzhou volume, it is written, "It's so beautiful, I must go to Yangzhou to see it in the future." "Roll in the West Lake again" shade the lotus leaves infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun. Underneath this sentence is written: "Can lotus leaves really cover the sky? Lotus flowers grow in water? What does it look like? Like Puluo grass?"
So much for.
It seemed extremely inauthentic to look at the woman's private words at random, and Cheng Ru was aware of this, so he just glanced at it quickly, and then told himself not to remember what was written on it, or muttered that he didn't look at the note on it, in fact, it was just this book.
As I was flipping through the pages, I suddenly saw such a poem written in the blank space of a page.
"When I first met the moonlit night of the Spring River, I heard that the jade people of the jade bridge were worried. Two scoundrels Jiangnan Yue, only sigh where to dream of Yangzhou?"
。。。。。。
In the middle of a speech, a face suddenly poked out of the light, Cheng Ru was startled, and quickly closed the book, only to realize that it was a man who jumped out of the window.
Cheng Ru breathed a sigh of relief and complained slightly: "Won't you knock on the door?"
He stared at the book in Cheng Ruyi's hand for a moment, and then carefully looked at Cheng Ruyi's face, and only waved his hand absently when Cheng Ru was annoyed and angry, "Isn't it just reading the Spring Palace book, what's this? Don't think I don't know, I've seen a lot of young people secretly hiding under trees to read this kind of book in Ah Shan! But don't be afraid, everyone is a man, what's there to be afraid of?"
Cheng Ru snorted coldly, "You think I'm someone like you, I've never had this kind of habit!"
He only thought that there was a hint of strangeness hidden behind Cheng Ru's words, so he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Don't blame me for not saving you, I just don't have a way to save you." Think about it, that Huacai is so strong, how dare I say more? I am a mud bodhisattva who has crossed the river, and I can't take care of you, right?"
Cheng Ru was stunned, and then he knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking? Where can I blame you? I was the one who forcibly dragged you to steal the scaly fish? I can't blame you, I can't blame you!"
The boy asked cautiously, "Really?"
"Nature is true. ”
"Heartfelt words?"
"Don't talk a word. ”
After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Really?"
Cheng Ru suddenly opened his teeth and claws and grabbed the man, "Fart! Lao Tzu almost fell to the ground, and you are still there to watch jokes! Lao Tzu is going to take revenge today!"
"I knew that you were small-minded, and you came to test it!
"Where did you hear the name Cheng Hua from? You even dare to call me by my nickname? Lao Tzu can't kill you today!"
"Loosen up! Ahem, let go! Otherwise, I won't give you any food I bring!"
Cheng Ru was stunned, and hurriedly held the concubine in his arms, and smiled, "Good brother, I'm playing with you!"
Extremely annoyed, she jumped onto the desk, smoothed her hair, and pouted her ass in anger.
Cheng Ru hurriedly said good things to Nanzi, and after saying it until his mouth was dry, he saw Nanzi slowly turn his head.
After pretending to lose his temper a few more times, he reluctantly dragged out a large bag of snacks from behind the window and threw it on the desk, "No, for you." I'm still quite righteous, isn't it?"
Cheng Ru looked at the grapes, melon seeds, and almonds in this bag and was stunned for a long time, thinking to himself that this was not what he had eaten for him before? Why did he hide so much? Then he remembered that it was the nature of the squirrel to hide food, and even if he became a spirit, he couldn't change it, so he laughed it off.
Looking at Cheng Ru devouring it, he said again: "I sneaked out while Hua Cai was not paying attention, I have been delayed for so long now, I have to go back soon, otherwise it will not be good to be discovered by Hua Cai!"
Cheng Ru said twice, "You go, don't worry about me!"
As soon as he jumped out of the window, he turned around and said, "By the way, Hua Cai has been in a daze all day today, and I don't know why I let you go before." I'm afraid that I think it's too cheap to behead you, and I'm thinking about how to torture you to death!
Cheng Ru was dumbfounded, and finally scolded with a smile: "You get out, crow's mouth!"
He snorted and plunged headlong into the darkness, never moving again.
Cheng Ru put aside the bag of melons and fruits that he had brought over, and after cleaning up the desk, he opened the book again, turned the page, and read these lines of poetry carefully.
Cheng Ru hesitated, and finally cut his wrist ruthlessly, dipped his blood in the blank space with a wolf pen, and then covered his wrist with bared teeth, and tore his clothes to bandage his wrist in great distress, and then said that he had lost a lot, and slowly walked to the bed and fell down.
After a while, a faint snoring sounded.
After a while, a shadow slowly walked into the room, glanced at Cheng Ru, and then stood in front of the desk and looked at the page.
I saw that this page read, "It is difficult to sleep in Yangzhou dream, and it is difficult to travel in the moonlight." If the peach blossoms are blooming in your heart, where is your life not Jiangnan?"
The man standing at the desk moved slightly, then looked embarrassed, clenched his fists, and after a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he returned to calm. Turning his head to look at the sleeping Cheng Ru is eyes, he slowly left.
Just because I saw a poem with such a small line written under it.
"It's not that I blow it, your words are much worse than mine, maybe it's because of talent. But I can teach you, and after teaching you, I will be your master, and you can't kill me!"
