Volume 1 Shadow Chapter 13 Blessing is unequaled
Yuqing platform, suspended under the Tianzhu Peak, is supported by nine ninety-nine zhang high golden pillars, the spiritual mist is dark, and the cigarette smoke curls. According to legend, an ancient giant beast was suppressed under the nine pillars, and these nine golden pillars were refined by collecting the body of the giant beast. But the secret is only passed down from generation to generation by the first seat of the Yuqing lineage. As for outsiders, there are only all kinds of hearsay.
Yue Chen, Ouyang Xiu and the other three stood side by side on the Yuqing platform, sometimes looking at the Yuqing disciples walking back and forth, sometimes looking at an immortal boat in front of them, and sometimes glancing at the disciples of the other two veins who were going to practice together. After not seeing the sect elder appear for a long time, Ouyang Xiu began to lose his breath and said in a low voice, "This atmosphere is a little wrong!" Qin Yan and Su Yan also only frowned, but Yue Chen seemed very quiet. Maybe it's because of ignorance and fearlessness!
At the end of the day, Han Yu Imperial Sword came to the Yuqing platform and said softly, "Three junior brothers, please take the step to speak!" After speaking, he left first. Qin Yan and the three of them glanced at each other, their eyes full of doubts, and after pausing for a while, they still followed Edgeworth. Before Ouyang Xiu left, he yanked Yue Chen, Yue Chen didn't understand what he meant, but just smiled slightly.
After the three of them left, he was left alone in the Taiqing lineage, and there was no one he knew. Moreover, none of the other two lineages knew each other, and what surprised Yue Chen even more was that their group of experienced disciples were already the lowest Dao practitioners. The uneasiness in my heart began to grow.
At the end of the day, the six elders appeared on time, two elders from each of the three veins, and the two elders from the Taiqing vein, Hao Hui and Hao Mo. The two of them didn't look at Yue Chen at all, but chatted with a few elders. One of the elders, dressed in loose robes, exerted his magic power to control the immortal boat, and a wide gate opened on the immortal boat. With a wave of the elder's hand, the disciples of the Taiqing lineage entered the Xianzhou first, followed by the Shangqing disciples, and Yue Chen finally entered the Xianzhou nervously, not daring to look outside. Because at this moment, he had already felt a trace of strangeness, and he was sure that Ouyang Xiu and the others would not continue to go.
As the door of the immortal boat slowly closed, the last glimmer of hope in Yue Chen's heart also closed. However, the six elders still looked leisurely, talking and laughing indifferently. For the disciples of the Immortal Boat, it seems that it does not exist.
Yue Chen didn't know how long the Xianzhou had been flying, and gradually, he found that there were fewer and fewer people in the Xianzhou, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Is this really going to the experience? Or is it using the law of the jungle to eliminate these more than 500 people?" When he found that the number of people began to decrease, Yue Chen no longer dared to be distracted, and carefully observed every move in the Xianzhou. When the three people disappeared in the Xianzhou one after another, it was finally determined which elder was the leader who used his magic power to send each disciple out of the secret door of the Xianzhou.
The same door that looks at him is full of doubts and incomprehension. For the disciples of those two veins, it is not too lonely, after all, there are so many people in the same lineage. But Yue Chen clearly showed the seriousness of the matter. However, several elders remained the same, and no one came out to explain or comfort them. It's like they're carrying a cartload of pigs to a slaughterhouse.
Soon, Yue Chen didn't have to guess and wonder, because he was also pushed off the immortal boat by a secret force. After leaving the fairy boat, Yue Chen found that the flight altitude of this fairy boat was only two zhang high, which could almost be said to be flying close to the surface of the mountain. After falling, he picked up a talisman and flew towards the forest at his feet, choosing a large tree with lush foliage to land.
In the quiet woods, a strong smell of blood permeated and condensed, and Yue Chen, who was choking, was out of breath, and it took a while before he gradually felt used to it. This quiet forest made Yue Chen feel very familiar, as if he had experienced it there himself. After thinking about it for a while, an inverted triangle giant snake came to mind, and said softly: "No wonder it's so familiar!"
After a while, I heard the roar of all beasts, the sound of "bluffing, roaring", and the sound of "hissing and squeaking" continued. By feeling, it's like ten thousand beasts coming out together to attack their prey. The whole forest trembled. Yue Chen had the courage to push aside the leaves and looked down, only to see two tigers, one black and one white, standing under a broken tree, surrounded by fourth- and fifth-order demon beasts. Xin Dao: "These two tigers can't be the sixth- or seventh-order demon beasts that only exist in legends, right?"
Yue Chen twisted his face, rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at it again, a fourth-order demon beast snow bee dog relied on its agility and jumped into the belly of the black tiger, and when he was about to bite with his sharp teeth, he was burst by the brain slapped by the black tiger's front paws. Of the seven demon beasts behind the white tiger, Yue Chen only recognized the three fifth-order demon beasts of the Bronze Flame Beast, the Extreme Fire Spider, and the Green Armor Golden Beaver, and the rest had never been seen in the book. These seven demon beasts attacked the white tiger at the same time, and when they saw that they were about to attack, the white tiger raised its tail slightly and easily killed the seven fifth-order demon beasts.
Yue Chen almost shouted out, and said softly: "Could it be that these two tigers are already legendary desolate demons, or are they Hong demons?" In Yue Chen's understanding, he could only recognize fifth-order demon beasts.
Why? Because in the limited records of the human race, there are only extremely detailed descriptions of demon beasts of the fifth order and below. Even as specific to the extent to which the bloodline evolution of the demon beast has changed at each stage, it has been clearly recorded. However, the records of the sixth-order, seventh-order, desolate demons, and flood demons are all lies and strange theories, similar to the dragon gods in the mythology of the human race. Can Yue Chenna take these things as true? Every time he looks at it, he always feels very enjoyable, but he never takes it to heart. Right now, when he saw a higher-level demon beast that could easily kill a fifth-order demon beast, he couldn't help but believe it.
Faced with such a situation, Yue Chen did not hesitate to make a choice - to use the bluestone seal and flee for his life. However, when he injected spiritual power into the bluestone seal, the bluestone seal did not have any reaction, and after repeated attempts, it was still fruitless. Xin said: "How could Hao Xian Zhenren lie and deceive people?" Yue Chen's heart was full of panic and uneasiness, he couldn't believe that any kind elder would do this.
After calming down a little, he said, "Senior Brother Ouyang is very alert and has a different nature. He had already noticed that something was wrong yesterday, but he didn't expect it to be fulfilled today. What exactly will the sect's arrangement be for? If it is only for the purpose of eliminating this group of disciples, it seems that it has gone too far. Because if you want to eliminate a group of disciples to go down the mountain, it is usually in line with human feelings that you can directly let them go down the mountain and disassociate themselves from the sect. Moreover, Chengming Sect has always done this. The current approach is to leave these of us to fend for ourselves, or at least let me fend for myself, and the rest of us are fine. ”
After thinking about this, he asked rhetorically: "Can I, Yue Chen, need to be eliminated with such a lot of effort? Or do I have that much weight? Or do the elders think that this is the greatest contribution that Yue Chen can make to the sect? This is the style of doing things that are decent and upright?"
The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the tops of the towering trees dozens of feet high only faintly rose. The monsters in the forest are fighting and killing, and the monsters that keep coming from all directions of the forest seem to be dead. Along Yue Chen's big tree, two rivers of blood had formed, constantly washing the earth. Yue Chen raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes were stunned, but his heart was like a mirror, because he knew that if these two tigers were really seventh-order or even higher-order demon beasts, no matter how strong the smell of blood was, they would not be able to resist the breath of the living creatures they perceived. As long as the tiger demon can get out a little, Yue Chen will die immediately.
Yue Chen slowly covered the leaves, took out a wooden stick from the Ruyi bag, grasped the wooden handle tightly with his right hand, and began to close his eyes and recuperate, listening to the killing sound in the forest with his heart. As long as he remembered that he was a child from a peasant family and had experienced the test of thirty-six lives and deaths, he didn't want to think too much. Because I lived to be sixteen years old, I have suffered hardships that others may not be able to endure in a lifetime. If you are so miserable, why do you want to increase your distress! After returning from the ghost gate dozens of times, will you still covet the heavens' favor again?
After figuring out all the causes, the whole body suddenly felt relaxed, Yue Chen, who was wide in heart and not fat in body, looked at the sky, and his heart was wandering. At this time, I really encountered a situation where the heavens were not spiritual, and the earth should not be right. The roaring of monsters and monsters whistling in my ears gradually became a lullaby. Yue Chen fought hard and didn't let himself fall asleep.
In a trance, it was the end of the year and the beginning of the month. A black curtain slowly fell from the sky, obscuring the light on the earth.
"Bang!" A roar of the mountain collapsing came, and Yue Chen felt that the big tree was squeezed into the ground by an invisible force for a few feet, and the sound of countless bones crushing sounded. The forest, which had been roaring with all beasts just now, was quiet again. For Yue Chen, at this moment, he is still alive, which is a blessing in misfortune. I have been insisting in my heart, as long as I am a little confused, or if there is any noise, I will quickly cheer up. As for whether the sky is falling or the ground is sinking, it is none of your business, just hang it high.
In the quiet of the night, there was an occasional heavy breathing sound in the forest, like a mournful roar, like a wail. And Yue Chen is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and only hopes that the sky will brighten up soon. One night but nothing happened.
The next day, as the east turned white, Yue Chen found that the forest was still quiet, and this quietness had been maintained since the loud noise of last night. And he had the courage to turn away the leaves and look downward. Seeing that the black tiger was lying flat in a pool of blood, it seemed to have been dead for a long time, and the white tiger also seemed to be lying on its stomach with difficulty, and the sound of heavy breathing was made by it. He exclaimed: "How many demon beasts have died before these two demon beasts are exhausted to death?" Yesterday morning, these two powerful demon beasts didn't seem to show any signs of serious injury!"
He pondered: "What should I do? To go down or not to go down? If I go down, as long as the tiger still has a trace of breath, it is enough to wipe myself out; if I continue to wait, the demon beast will really die one day? Isn't the position I am in now the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain described in the book? If so, with this little bit of my own deeds, can I still leave alive? Since I can't leave alive, what else do I have to worry about, is it just for the sake of dispensable luck? Since Cheng Mingzong arranged it like this, of course he expected that no one would be able to go back alive, and he didn't want anyone to go back alive, so they would come to pick up people?"
Thinking of this, the kind face of Hao Xian Zhenren also made Yue Chen feel that he was possessed by the devil, revealing the most hideous side. Instantly, I felt that under the 'skin' and 'face' of every hypocritical person in the Chengming Sect, there was a real demon face hidden. The heart said: "Whether it is dead or alive, go out and talk about it." With a horizontal heart, he picked up the Seven Evil Dark Wood, raised the talisman and flew towards the corpse mountain of the demon beast, and landed steadily in front of the white tiger.
The mouth of the White Tiger Giant Demon contains a demon pill the size of a little finger, with clear lines, bright dragon eyes, and gorgeous Danguang. At this point, Yue Chen recognized that this was the demon pill that only the top Hong demon in the legend had. Because the most obvious sign is what the Terran monks call the Demon Pill Dragon's Eye. The so-called demon pill dragon eye means that there will be a bright spot like a human eye on the demon pill, but the human eye is usually black and translucent, but the dragon eye on the demon pill is gilded and shiny. The demon pill of the seventh order and below does not have a dragon's eye, and the demon pill of the desolate demon may not have a dragon's eye, and even if it does, it will be dim.
The white tiger was angry, the heavy breathing sound could no longer be made, and for the person in front of him, he just tried his best to open his eyes, his tail moved slightly, and he closed his eyes for a long time.
Yue Chen's heart moved, and instead of taking the most rare dragon's eye demon pill in the world, he stepped on the bones and walked towards the tail of the white tiger. Soon I saw that in the heart of the broken tree, there were two tiger cubs born less than a month old, also white and black. He said softly, "I can't leave alive, so how can I save you?" and thought about it, "Since I chose to live one more moment, why don't I let the tiger cub do the same." I can't be as cold-blooded and ruthless as any of the thieves of the Chengming Sect. So he picked up the two dying cubs and returned to the tiger's head.
After pondering for a while, he said softly: "It is a matter of course for parents to give things to their children. At this point, man and beast should go the same way! Even if I keep this dragon's eye demon pill for myself, what's the use? Big deal, after I save the little tiger, when it grows up, kill me! Of course, they must be able to wait until they grow up, and I am still alive. ”
Thinking of doing it, Yue Chen took the dragon's eye demon pill from the mouths of the two tigers, and gently stuffed the demon pill into the young tiger's mouth according to the corresponding color. He said: "According to the records in the book, some of the demon pills of fifth-order demon beasts are the size of small eggs. Unexpectedly, this demon pill of the Hong Demon was so small. It seems that what is condensed is the essence!" Yue Chen put the tiger cub into the heart of the tree and covered it with the tail of the white tiger. When I looked back at the forest, there were stacks of broken bones and flesh everywhere, and the corpses of demon beasts were strewn everywhere. But I also understand that these are the rare treasures that the world's monks are most eager to obtain, high-level spiritual materials.
As the saying goes: Blessings do not come twice, and disasters do not go alone! If I have such a calamity, I will not be able to hide from it. If it comes, it will be safe, and it will be in charge!"
After paying attention, Yue Chen began to collect the spiritual materials on the body of the demon beast, and at this time, the only person he was grateful to in his heart was Ouyang Xiu, who was extremely immodest in the eyes of his peers. At least, Ouyang Xiu asked him to bring two more wishful bags. However, this packing is two months. When he was tired or sleepy, he rested against a broken tree and covered his body with the tail of a black tiger, and when he was thirsty, he drank the blood of the beast, and when he was hungry, he roasted the flesh of the animal. In my heart, I still look forward to the conscience of the people of Chengmingzong to find out and take me back. But by the third month, the spiritual materials on the mountain of demon beasts had been collected, and no one came to pick him up. And the pair of tiger cubs became half-dead.
For Yue Chen, there is only one way to go, groping for a way out. Because in the past three months, he has never seen a demon beast appear again, but he doesn't quite believe that the demon beast is really dead. Therefore, he never stepped out of this corpse field. Yue Chen clearly recorded the date he came here, today, it was three months and three days. Xin Dao: "The new disciples of the Chengming Sect worship the mountain gate, which is also the day of March 3 of the year. It seems that I really have a relationship with this number!"
Before leaving, he looked at the two Hong Demons, one white and one black, and thought: "In the past three months, I have never known why the demon beast is fighting, and I don't know how such a powerful demon beast was killed?
When he shouted "Earth Dragon Ant", Yue Chen's face twitched violently, in fact, he had already noticed and speculated, but it was only the subconscious denial that made him misunderstand and misjudge. Yue Chen slowly got up, glanced around, and said: "What the earth dragon ant is most afraid of is blood, and the favorite is also blood, this miraculous flood relic, maybe not dead, it should be after the sneak attack on the tiger succeeded, and then left." It hasn't appeared for three months, and it must be the kind of blood that it fears the most among these demon beasts. After a while, he sighed: "What should come will come after all, and it is in vain to think about it, so it is better to let it go." ”
After one last glance at the two tigers, he turned away gloomily, not knowing where to go, but walking towards the depths of the forest by feeling.
