Chapter Thirty-Eight: Killing in the Night
?
In the middle of the moon, a bright moon hung high, a few sparse moon-accompanied stars floated on the sky, and the clear moonlight as mercury-white sprinkled down, illuminating the ground clearly, faintly flooding with a piece of hoarfrost.
More than 130 miles east of Jiuxi Village, a cliff rose a spiritual light, combined with the elite of the moon that fell from the nine heavens, and turned into a mist like smoke. The clouds and mist are shrouded, a long banner that exudes a clear light stands in it, the silver-white banner continues to dance with the mountain wind, the water vapor ripples, the moonlight flows, reflects each other, spontaneously changes, reflects the snow silver light in the faint moon palace grand scene, the cinnamon is fragrant, and there is a god looming.
Sitting in front of the cliff, Li Haocheng, who was collecting the Yuehua elite meditation refining tools, had a faint silver light in his eyes, and a faint trace of spiritual light came out of his forehead, and an illusory full moon appeared behind Li Haocheng, colluding with the long banner suspended in front of him.
For three days, Li Haocheng had been on this cliff for three days, and since Li Haocheng helped the black-robed wizard upgrade the guardian formation of Jiuxi Village three days ago, he was preparing to leave.
But just when he walked to the gate of the wall, the Water Moon Pure Spirit Banner that had just been stabilized with the help of the belief of the Moon God Su Shu had changed again.
Whether it is a black-robed wizard or Li Hao, who is not a layman, the two of them used witchcraft and divination respectively, and found that Jiuxi Village was destroyed, so Li Haocheng found a cold place near Jiuxi Village to practice.
In the past three days, he refined the moonlight here every night, exhaled purple gas here at sunrise, and went to the waterfall at the foot of the mountain at noon to collect the qi of the decay water, and in the evening, the black robe would come here to chat with Li Haocheng for a few words, and at the same time sent the spiritual materials that Li Haocheng needed to refine the magic weapon.
Looking at the water and moon spirit patterns that gradually spread on the spirit banner in front of him, covering the Dark Moon Dao Rule, Li Haocheng's eyes flashed a little joy, but as a spiritual light that could not be seen by ordinary people rose from the direction of Jiuxi Village, his brows gradually furrowed, and he muttered secretly: "Why is this time?"
Li Haocheng's eyes were empty, the moon ring was round and absent in his pupils, and his ten fingers were also pinched like butterflies wearing flowers, and the dark sky fell, only to feel a cold and piercing breath coming from the southwest.
"Did the killing machine start from the southwest?" Li Haocheng put away the spirit flag, jumped up with his body, and jumped down from the cliff, like a weightless piece of paper, with the sudden mountain wind, floating straight to the southwest.
In the southwest of the cliff, there is also a cold place, where there used to be a small cottage, but because of an accident, all the people in the village died, and no one dealt with it, and a large number of mutilated bones were gradually buried underneath.
Relying on the offerings of the corpses, the surrounding trees are particularly luxuriant, barren grass and shrubs are everywhere, many grass ants and insects are entrenched here, and from time to time there is a biting cold wind formed by the upward rush of the earth's yin qi, so that this area is rarely in and out of the living.
Li Haocheng stood on a piece of blue rock, looking at the gloomy environment around him, holding his breath slightly, carefully sensing the movements around him, intending to find traces of the enemy.
"Little Taoist. The old man walked out slowly from behind an ancient tree on Li Haocheng's left, and said lightly: "Are you looking for an old man?"
Li Haocheng turned his head, and the old man who walked out from behind the tree was dressed in black, his appearance looked like he was about sixty years old, his appearance was not outstanding, and his face was full of criss-crossing wrinkles, which looked very ugly, and a pair of bright black eyes combined with his image and temperament, which made people feel very cold.
As soon as his eyes were condensed, his eyes opened, and when he looked around, he saw that the old man was covered in all the major acupoints, like an oven, and the red flames of the Dao rose out of it, and Li Haocheng, who was full of vigor and blood, couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Li Haocheng frowned, this old man's situation is a little strange, according to the fiery degree of the light flame, it is already close to the qi and blood of the martial arts innate level? But this old man's qi and blood are condensed and do not move, and there are strange breaths suspended above the qi and blood, blocked in this old body.
No matter from that point of view, these qi and blood do not seem to be condensed by practicing martial arts techniques, but more like casting some kind of secret technique to forcibly coagulate qi and blood in the major acupoints, forming a situation similar to the innate martial arts, so as to prolong life and improve the resistance to low-level spells.
While Li Haocheng was observing the old man, the old man with a gloomy breath was also observing Li Haocheng, and after looking at it twice, the old man sneered: "Looking at your breath, it seems to have something to do with the newly manifested Moon God of Jiuxi Village." Are you here to stop me? Little Taoist, why do you come to seek death at such a young age, if you retreat now, I can still let you live. ”
Although he came to find fault, the other party seemed to be more arrogant than himself.
Li Haocheng raised his eyebrows and sneered: "You are so confident that you can kill the poor Dao?"
"Little Taoist, the old man knows that your immortal monks are strong, but the old man I am not a vegetarian, in the early years, I was looking for immortals to visit the Tao, they said that my heart was not right, it was difficult to enter the right path, although I failed to worship the immortal gate in the end, but I was also fortunate to get an ancient Gu Dao inheritance. Speaking of this, the old man's face was hideous, his tone was resentful, and he said with a cruel smile: "Remember, the person who killed you is my Wu Qianmu!"
After saying that, Ebony Chiki took out a black cloth bag painted with messy patterns from his arms.
Li Haocheng listened to Wu Qianmu's words, and probably guessed that he was purely because he couldn't worship the immortal gate, and could only practice the left path of the side door, and he was resentful, and then he had malicious intentions towards all the people in the immortal path, so he naturally didn't want to talk to him more.
With a flip of the palm, a half-foot-long, painted with red runes, and the spirit grass rune paper was tied, shaped like a dragon and snake, and something similar to a knot was sacrificed, and an illusory giant python manifested in the wind in mid-air, opening its mouth and pounced on Wu Qianmu.
This paper-tied python is the same as the original donkey, it is made by Li Haocheng according to the secret technique of the earth star combined with the method of sacrificial refining of the magic weapon of this realm, which is very powerful, but it is also suitable for temptation.
Seeing this, Wu Qianmu didn't care, his thin fingers unhurriedly untied the string at the mouth of the cloth bag, the mouth of the bag was loosened, and with the action of Wu Qianmu gently patting the cloth bag, the black and pressing dark clouds poured out of it.
Li Haocheng looked intently, and saw that the black pressed one, like a dark cloud rolling, all of them were sharp teeth like hooks, the tail needles were cold, the whole body was pitch black, there were wavy golden stripes, and two pairs of transparent black gold thin wings were buzzing, very fierce black bees.
"Go!" Wu Qianmu pointed at the giant python, and the black bees in the sky moved, and before the giant python fell, it was torn to pieces by the black bees, and turned into grass clippings and spilled down from the air.
Li Haocheng's illusory giant python was not substantial, and he didn't get the imaginary blood food, and the black bee like a dark cloud pounced towards Li Haocheng after circling twice in mid-air, without waiting for Wu Qianmu's command.
Li Haocheng's five fingers are opened, the white light is like a line, the clouds rise, the blue lotus blooms, the golden lamp appears, the light flame swayes, and the little sparks hang down, and the beads hang down, supporting Li Haocheng's body.
The brilliance was uncertain, the waves were bursting, and it seemed to be crumbling, but Li Haocheng didn't care, but carefully observed these black bees that were constantly impacting the golden light barrier, and exclaimed: "No wonder you are so arrogant, you can sacrifice this clicated bee Gu with a mortal body, you can be called a Gu Dao Samadhi, and ordinary monks are really not your opponents." It's a pity that this clamshell Gu can't be cultivated by the Gu Dao True Law, although it is extremely poisonous and can bite gold pieces, but there are also many natural enemies, and I happen to know a few of these natural enemies, Wu Qianmu, you really shouldn't use the clamella Gu to deal with me. ”
After Li Haocheng finished speaking, his sleeve robe waved, the smoke steamed, and a rich fragrance of laurel flowers overflowed, and the black bees that were originally surrounding him like a wolf and a tiger constantly impacting the golden light barrier were shrouded in this laurel fragrance, and they stopped attacking one after another, and flew in the air in a panic, as if there was something terrible around Li Haocheng, and they didn't dare to approach Li Haocheng.
Ebony Qianmu's body shook, and he lost his voice: "This... How is this possible?"
