Chapter 779: Artemisia's Awakening
Yang Qingyin's enthusiasm was also stimulated, Zuo Liuying, Dragon Demon and Lan Qizhang would not be sent to death for no reason, and Shen Jiyi, who used the technique of shattering pills to eliminate the demons, was even more unworthy, and the only one who could link the strange behavior of the three of them was Mu Xingqiu.
No wonder the Taoist is suspicious.
Not only Meng Xu, but also several scattered cultivators had their dream memories hooked, but the Daoist did not reveal more information to them, whether all the Taoist priests were also hiding in the Demon Extraction Cave? Why couldn't they directly inspect the Demon Extraction Cave? No one knew.
Yang Qingyin and the others only confirmed one thing, and the stop state was indeed imprisoned in the Demon Extraction Cave.
There are very few things that Zuo Liuying wants to do that are unsuccessful, if there is anyone in this world who can rescue Mu Xingqiu, who else but him?
Yang Qingyin felt that she was about to go crazy, so she immediately boarded the flying dragon ship and went to the place where the Broken Pill Technique glowed, leaving a big pit there, with no grass and trees, birds and beasts extinct, she and hundreds of demon clansmen searched carefully and carefully, but found nothing. Then they expanded the search area, a radius of ten, thirty, fifty, and a hundred miles...... I tried all the spells and hexels I could use, but I still didn't find anything.
Yang Qingyin returned to the sea and searched the area around Demon Suppression Island thoroughly, but it was all in vain.
Five days later, the search was still ongoing, Yang Qingyin was tired, she hadn't condensed into Neidan, and she couldn't stand the fatigue of day and night.
Meng Xu became the spokesperson of the Dao system, every two or three days, she would have a dream, get the guidance of a mysterious voice, and after waking up, she would lead the demon invasion cultivators to a new location, and use more effective new spells to find clues, so after several times, she could no longer dream of Zhaoshan.
Daotong apparently felt that the problem had been solved.
Xiao Artemisia did not participate in the search, except for eating and sleeping, she sat opposite Zuo Liuying most of the time, and sometimes when she was tired, she leaned on the flea. When others talk to her, she doesn't reply, only occasionally looks up and smiles.
For a whole month, all the enthusiasm was extinguished one after another: Meng Xu no longer received the dream of Taoism, Mu Xingqiu was nowhere to be seen, and Zuo Liuying's body was slowly drying up.
The Taoist priest has long been out of the mortal womb of the body, and even if the Tudan becomes a loose cultivator again, the physical body will not decay, but will slowly wither, and the flesh and blood will disappear. Only skin and skeleton remain.
Artemisia's condition became more and more worrisome, and she fell into a state of obsession, even though that handsome face had become a skinny skeleton, she still looked at it with relish.
This morning, Yang Qingyin got up from the sickbed and walked out of the tent to find that it was snowing outside, another winter had arrived, and the scattered cultivators had returned to the Demon Suppression Island, and the Flying Dragon Boat was no longer looking around. No one knew what to do next, waiting blankly, like a group of refugees who had suddenly encountered a catastrophe and had no way out.
The bald man immediately flew over and looked at Yang Qingyin with concern. He also used to look for the traces of Mu Xingqiu day and night, but now he cares more about the old lady, "You shouldn't get up and have a good rest." There's nothing out there for you to worry about. ”
Yang Qingyin tried to squeeze out a smile, "I don't have anything to rest about, bald." Go to the boat and invite Lao Bang, Sandalwood Burner and Ouyang Lance, I have something to say. ”
The bald man was not very relieved, and stared at Yang Qingyin for a while before reluctantly leaving.
Twenty demons invaded and scattered cultivators gathered, they used to be Taoist priests, and even if they turned to casual cultivators, they were a unique group of people.
"I'm sorry. Yang Qingyin said sincerely, "I told myself again and again to cheer up, but I always gave up halfway, I hope everyone will give me another chance, follow me, and fight with me." ”
The monks did not speak.
Yang Qingyin looked at the Gan brothers, "I hope that I will be the leader of everyone, because ...... I'm ready. ”
At the same time, the two brothers made a Taoist salute to Yang Qingyin, and the other scattered cultivators followed suit. Yang Qingyin didn't even have a Neidan, but she had a wider influence among humans and demon clans, and this alone was enough to become a leader, not to mention that she also inherited part of Mu Xingqiu's prestige.
Yang Qingyin also thinks so, the position of leader is not only a power, but also her duty, instead of falling ill for Mu Xingqiu and guarding an isolated island, it is better to do something more meaningful.
Lao Bang, Sandalwood Burner and Ouyang Lance are here.
"Early tomorrow morning, the Wyvern will depart. Yang Qingyin said.
"Where are you going?" asked Lao Bu blankly, feeling that the Spirit King was a little different, but he couldn't say clearly.
"Tomorrow I will tell you to store as many supplies as possible, it may be far away. ”
"Yes. ”
"Sue me, how has the shape of the outside shì been going this month?"
Ouyang Li opened his mouth and replied: "The Demon Daoist either died or fled, and the country that sacrificed himself was reined in a lot, took a defensive position, and did not start a war with the Holy Fu Dynasty again, and the two sides were in a stalemate. The land of the demons is not very stable, it is said that there is an army of Bingkui, I don't know who commands it, the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons is retreating to the southeast, and there is still no news from the Rice King Jintuan. My master, Hong Futian, has gathered a lot of loose cultivators, and he is at war with the betrayed vassal states. That's pretty much it. ”
Yang Qingyin asked a few questions and asked the bald man to send them away, the demon clan and the scattered cultivators on the ship had been worshipping Yang Qingyin as the spirit king for a long time, and there was no need for her to affirm it again.
Then she walked to Xiao Hao on the other end, and the twenty scattered cultivators waited in place, all feeling that Yang Qingyin was doing a thankless job.
Artemisia looked very tired, lying on the flea in a straw hat, her eyes still staring at Zuo Liuying's face, even though this face no longer had its old appearance.
"Taoist priests don't rot, they dry up quite quickly, it's only been a month. Artemisia said without raising her head.
Yang Qingyin knelt beside Xiao Hao and brushed the snowflakes off her head and shoulders, "Zuo Liuying is dead." ”
"Hmm. ”
"Hope is a powerful spell that can inspire strength and destroy morale. ”
Artemisia smiled on her face, "That's what I should say." ”
Yang Qingyin also smiled, "It's time to go, I'm still waiting for you to tell me my destination." From now on, I am Mu Xingqiu, leading everyone to action, you are Zuo Liuying, and you want to show us the way. ”
Xiao Hao sat up, "Actually, my eyes are as confused as everyone else, and I can't see the future at all. ”
"Zuo Liuying can't either, otherwise he wouldn't have changed from a Taoist priest to a ...... step by step It's like this today, but he can always point out the maze, even his death, you know Zuo Liuying better than us, so it's up to you to explain his intentions. ”
Xiao Hao was silent for a while, "Zuo Liuying left me something. ”
"What is it?"
Xiao Hao pointed to the skeleton opposite, "His flesh and blood did not disappear, but turned into the aura of heaven and earth, this is the gift he gave me, I accepted it, but I haven't fully absorbed it." ”
Xiao Hao stood up, walked behind the skeleton, pressed his hands on top of his head, and said with an unprecedentedly stern expression, "Zuo Liuying is not dead. ”
The demon invasion cultivators came over and looked at Xiao Artemisia sympathetically, the little girl who used to be clever and eccentric and never grew up forever was now so haggard, and even had a bit of vicissitudes.
Yang Qingyin and Flea also stood up, and she heard some deep meaning from Xiao Artemisia's words.
"He left his body to me, and his soul entered the state of stagnation. Xiao Hao said loudly, not caring at all that her words were heard by others, "Zuo Liuying's soul will eventually return to the world, and my task is to protect this body." ”
Artemisia took off her straw hat and put it on top of Zuo Liuying's head, just under the gaze of everyone, the skeleton retracted upwards into the straw hat, leaving no trace, Xiao Artemisia put the straw hat back on her head, unlike Zuo Liuying, she raised the brim of her hat high, revealing her whole face and a bright smile on her face.
"The avenue is dead, and there is a road everywhere. Zuo Liuying has actually chosen a path for us. Artemisia's voice was very confident, the future was still confused, but she had an intuition that since she was walking in the fog, she couldn't just rely on her eyes.
Everyone looked at Artemisia in amazement, her change was so obvious, the haggard and vicissitudes were gone, but she did not recover her former wit and eccentricity, she was like a fire, suddenly from wisps of green smoke to fire.
"There is no way to make us stronger than the Dao Tong and the Demon Race in a short period of time, if we want to face the Demon Clan, we must find another way, Zuo Liuying leads by example-" Xiao Hao pointed to the flea, "It is better to cultivate yourself than to cultivate the spirit beast." Of course, alien beasts can too. ”
Xiao Artemisia took out the little turtle, and Yu Yu seemed to know that this moment was very special, and he raised his head high, which was not very big, and he had a bit of a kingly spirit.
Everyone looked at each other, the Qilin and Xuanwu did show their strong strength, but the change from self-cultivation to beast cultivation was really beyond their ability to bear.
The bald man had already flown back, and at this time he said loudly: "Zuo Liuying can cultivate Qilin, what do you have to hesitate?"
The left-stream Ying Cultivator is more like a desperate choice, if this is the direction he pointed out, it is indeed strange and dangerous.
"I think it's feasible, some spirit beasts and alien beasts are born with divine power, and if they are cultivated properly, they will be an extremely powerful force. Yang Qingyin was the first to express his position, but he also had doubts, "The key is where to find so many spirit beasts and strange beasts? ”
"This is where we are going, to go through the world that has not yet been occupied by the demon forces, looking for strong enough spirit beasts and strange beasts. "First of all, let's find the other two Xuanwu, the World Destroying and the Flying, and the Little Youyou will help." ”
Yu Xiao turned his head and glanced at Artemisia blankly, as if he didn't remember that he had made a similar promise.
The Gan brothers glanced at each other, and the elder brother Gan Zhiquan said loudly: "I agree." ”
The scattered cultivators agreed in unison, and even Meng Xu was no exception.
"The fire is not extinguished. Yang Qingyin felt that these four words could better represent his mood, "Even if it burns in the beast's body." ”
"The fire is not extinguished. Everyone echoed in unison, hope was rekindled, and everyone had a feeling that this time the hope had nothing to do with the Dao system.
Xiao Hao stuck Zuo Liuying's bamboo cane into the reef, rose into the air and flew to the warship not far away, never looking back.
Yang Qingyin's last outlying island, just like Xiao Hao believed that Zuo Liuying was not dead, she also had a belief and didn't mention it to anyone.
She believes: Mu Xingqiu is not far away.
