Chapter 142: The Ghost Carriage
In the cave, Shi Xiaole sat cross-legged, and in front of him were thirteen ordinary-looking small stones.
"Any kind of realm must be broken through in one go, otherwise it will only be more difficult to keep it for the second time. ”
Throwing away distractions, Shi Xiaole didn't even use this month's free drawing, and it took two days to adjust his state to the best.
Then, he picked up the first spar and began to slowly absorb the aura inside.
Rumble!
His internal strength had already reached its limit, and with a slight injection of spiritual energy, it immediately boiled in his body, almost automatically impacting the next level, which frightened Shi Xiaole and hurriedly suppressed it.
The so-called accumulation of thick and thin, only by absorbing all the Xuanjing stone and rushing through the level in one fell swoop, can the success rate of the breakthrough be maximized.
The second piece.
The third piece.
......
The frost of the cold night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
A three-horse carriage, running silently through the wasteland.
The carriage was more than three times larger than usual, and was pitch black throughout, even the bells that covered the eaves were black. The sound of the bell is not crisp, but it reveals a strange feeling that makes people tremble.
The most terrifying thing is that after the carriage, there are three rows of three columns and nine copper coffins.
A strong pine scent, as the carriage dispersed around, filled with an eerie and terrifying ghostly atmosphere.
"Look, what's that?"
"It seems to be ......"
Not far away, two Jianghu guests who were in a hurry to travel at night happened to see this scene.
One of them thought hard at first, and then, as if he had thought of something, his whole body trembled like an electric shock, his scalp was numb, his face was pale, and he grabbed his companion's hand and wanted to run.
"The rivers and lakes are far away, don't ask about worry, and the end of the world knows a few people's hearts. Since the two of you are destined, why do you need to go. ”
A voice that was neither good nor evil, neither male nor female, came into my ears.
Click.
A black hand stretched out in the shadows and directly choked the throats of the two quacks.
However, if there is a third person here, it will be found that the two are clearly choking each other's necks.
"It's good to have two more destined people!"
The carriage went away silently, leaving only a faint sigh.
For several days in a row, some people in the floating river basin continued to break the news that the Jianghu people had died in the wilderness.
Those who died, without exception, were frightened and their pupils constricted, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world before they died.
Some well-known masters do not believe in evil and threaten to find out the murderer. Soon after, their bodies were found in the wilderness.
And what really pushed this matter to the forefront was the tragedy of the Tianyan faction.
As a quasi-first-class force in the floating river basin, the masters of the Tianyan faction are like clouds, and the head of the sect is a ninefold master of Qi acceptance, and there are many high-level masters of Qi acceptance among the elders and Dharma protectors.
If you want to destroy the Tianyan Sect silently overnight, without leaving a single living mouth, even if several top forces join forces, they may not be able to do it.
And then, it happened.
"I saw a black carriage dragging nine bronze coffins through the air, spilling flower petals on the ground, and then everyone died. ”
Someone said tremblingly.
When others went to collect evidence, they found that the person had disappeared without a trace, and his life and death were unknown.
"Could it be, the legendary ghost carriage?"
I don't know who said such a sentence, which caused the tremor of the rivers and lakes in the floating basin.
These four words seem to be a magic spell, but everyone who hears them is terrified and their souls throb. So much so that the Jianghu guests, who have always been bold and reckless, were so frightened that they no longer dared to go out late at night.
It wasn't until two days later, when someone witnessed several top forces joining forces in the wild and killing a demon master who pretended to be riding in a ghost carriage, that all the rivers and lakes breathed a sigh of relief.
"I said, that car, that person is long gone, how can it be possible to reappear in the world. ”
"It was destroyed six hundred years ago. This group of damned demonic demons must be trying to confuse the world so that they can fish in troubled waters. ”
"Hahaha, as long as it's not that car, it's easy to say anything, there are righteous path masters coming forward, what do we care!"
In the inn, in the restaurant, in the streets and alleys, there are all the voices of people in the rivers and lakes. But most people are relaxed, and there is a sense of fear of a false alarm.
......
Huishan, the largest mountain in the floating basin.
The top of the mountain is covered with clouds and mist, and there is a stone table and four stone chairs.
Four men sat opposite each other.
If there are martial arts people here, they will definitely be surprised. Because these four people are the heads of the four top forces in the floating valley.
"I always felt a little weird about this incident. ”
One of the men said with a frown.
"What's weird, we killed all the people, can there be fake?"
The other immediately retorted, leaving the first man speechless.
"The events of that year had too great an impact on our future generations, and it is not wrong to be cautious. However, that person was killed by Emperor Wu himself, so there is no need to doubt it. ”
The only woman smiled.
"There is no need to discuss this matter on the surface, so as not to panic people, and secretly, let's continue to send people to investigate for a while. ”
In the end, the man with the most momentum clapped his head.
Honestly, the ghost carriage thing is far beyond their capabilities. Fortunately, this matter has been spread, and I believe that in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, it should attract attention.
......
In a nameless cave, a breath of breath fluctuated between strength and weakness.
"Just a little bit. ”
Shi Xiaole gritted his teeth, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
He thought that this breakthrough would go smoothly, but unexpectedly, something went wrong halfway, and he almost went mad and lost all his previous efforts.
Fortunately, Zixia's divine power is strong enough, and if it is replaced by ordinary third-rate internal strength, eighty percent of the meridians have been broken.
"My cultivation is progressing too fast, and my body can't keep up. ”
It takes at least four or five years for an average Junjie to go from three levels of Qi to one level of Qi acceptance, and the body can naturally adapt to it slowly. It's like Shi Xiaole, compressed to one year and completed.
The thought flashed, and Shi Xiaole mustered all his strength, urging Zixia's internal force to burst forward.
Rumble!
An invisible barrier was broken, and Shi Xiaole's internal strength suddenly increased by a large amount, running rapidly in his body with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, and the meridians were faintly painful.
This is a sign that the body is reaching its limits.
After a long time, Shi Xiaole opened his eyes, his eyes shining.
"It seems that the initial stage of the dual qi acceptance is the current apex, and if you want to continue to break through, strengthening your physique is the top priority. ”
He clenched his fists, and the depression quickly dissipated.
At this moment, Shi Xiaole finally broke through to the dual realm of Qi acceptance, and he felt that he was full of inexhaustible strength, and he couldn't help but punch it out lightly.
Bang.
The fist wind blew the stones on the ground two feet away.
Originally, Shi Xiaole's internal strength was not inferior to the early stage master of the fivefold of Naqi, but now, he can be compared with the peak master of the fivefold of Naqi.
And if it is exerted through the Zixia Divine Skill, the strength of the internal force is by no means weaker than that of the early stage master of the sixfold Qi absorption.
Shi Xiaole was confident, and if he was allowed to fight with the barefoot old man and the like, he didn't need to use the Ten Bloody Battles at all, and only a few swords could solve the other party.
Stretching, Shi Xiaole stood up from the ground. Inadvertently lowered his head, and he suddenly realized that the green shirt on his body had become shorter.
In fact, it's not that the green shirt has become shorter, but that Shi Xiaole has grown taller.
Although this body is only sixteen years old, in its previous life, it is equivalent to a height of 1.75 meters, and it is slender and straight, which is very perfect.
Thinking of eating wild fruits these days, Shi Xiaole suddenly felt hungry in his stomach, and he couldn't wait to go to the city immediately to have a full meal, and order new clothes by the way.
Yiqi City, one of the three major cities in the floating river basin.
In a huge restaurant, a young man in a brand new green shirt and as warm as jade holds a wine glass, listening to the conversation of people nearby.
Ghost carriage?
Shi Xiaole raised his eyebrows.
As long as you are a person in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that no one does not know these four words.
Because six hundred years ago, in that era of bright stars and masters, these four words still frightened countless people and made their souls rise.
It represents, a history of total darkness, evil, and killing.
No one knows where the ghost carriage came from, let alone who is sitting in it. I only know that when it appears, it means a bloody storm and a hundred miles of corpses.
In the era when ghost carriages dominated the world, the devil's path was rampant, the righteous path withered, and there was hardly a glimmer of hope in the rivers and lakes.
Fortunately, an emperor star was born, swept away the demons with a supreme attitude, and finally led the righteous path to defeat the demon path, and after ten days and ten nights of fierce battle, the master of the ghost carriage was killed in the palm of his hand.
That person is Emperor Wu.
Shi Xiaole couldn't have imagined that during his retreat, the news of the rebirth of the ghost carriage would break out in the rivers and lakes.
"Demon Dao master pretending?"
Hearing this answer, Shi Xiaole suddenly had a very strange feeling, but what was strange, but he couldn't say it.
Shaking his head, he didn't think much more.
No matter what the truth of the matter is, it is not something he can speculate about at the moment, if something big happens, there is a tall person on top of it, what do you care.
Taking the time to use up the opportunity to draw last month and get a third-rate mid-grade Tianshan swordsmanship, Shi Xiaole got up and left and rushed to Yiqi Mountain outside the city.
Yiqi Mountain, the height is 777 zhang, the width is 200 zhang, the difference between the bottom and the top is only ten zhang, looking from afar, it is like a huge cylinder full of vegetation.
Walking up the artificial stone steps at the bottom of the mountain, you can walk to the top of the mountain, which is also the headquarters of the Yiqi valve.
"Stop!"
When the two Yiqi Gate masters who guarded the mountain gate saw the comer, they immediately shouted.
"Two, this is a post under the court, asking to see the head of Shangguan. ”
The young man in the green shirt is like ink, his face is like jade, and he stands at will, giving people a feeling of extreme chic.
"Your Excellency, unless you are the head of a big faction, a martial arts senior, or you have a hundred thousand urgent matters, if you want to see the head immediately, you must first pass the test of my sect. ”
The thin-faced man on the left glanced at Shi Xiaole and did not take the greeting post in his hand.
"Test?"
Shi Xiaole was stunned.
"If anyone wants to see the boss, they can see it, and the boss doesn't have to do anything else. ”
Another master said.
Shi Xiaole nodded: "I wonder when the head of Shangguan will be free?"
If he could, he didn't want to go through any tests, there was no need for that.
"The boss has a lot of opportunities, you put the worship post here, and come back in a month. ”
The thin-faced man said coldly.
