Chapter 197: Someone from the Sect (I)
Although Xu Mu left, the flames from the fire spell did not stop.
In less than an hour, the entire courtyard was scorched by the spreading fire.
A pungent smoke that spreads through the night.
Wake up countless mortals in their dreams in Lingyang City.
But no one dared to step out of their houses, because in the past six months, all kinds of strange events that had occurred in Lingyang City had made the people here panic.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ......
Just after this courtyard completely disappeared into the flames, countless black shadows rushed from outside Lingyang City.
It was a group of monks who had cultivated all their cultivation above the Four Heavens of Imperial Qi, and the leader was a middle-aged man in a luxurious brocade robe.
They eventually stopped right in front of the compound.
"Is it too late?" Smelling the scorching smell that still lingered in the air, a touch of shock and anger appeared on the middle-aged man's face in the brocade robe.
"Fourth Master! I didn't find the young lady. Immediately, a thin monk with squirrel's eyebrows and rat eyes walked up to the middle-aged man in brocade robe after searching a scorched earth.
"Do you need us to increase our manpower and search Lingyang City?"
Gently closing his angry eyes, the middle-aged man known as the fourth master was obviously suppressing the crazy anger in his heart.
After a long time, the fourth master opened his eyelids and said in a deep voice: "No need!"
Because he smelled a trace of decay from the scorching air, the fourth master knew very clearly that his precious daughter had died.
Thinking about this, the fierceness of the middle-aged man in the brocade robe that he could not easily suppress rose again.
This Lingyang City is the territory of the Sha family, which monk is not afraid of them.
Now, someone dares to attack the people of the Sha family here, no matter who this person is, he must die.
"Blockade Lingyang City, not a single fly is allowed to be released for me. With a hideous face, he waved his big hand, and the fourth master gave an order murderously.
......
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
The temple where the Ai brothers and sisters were housed has now been cleaned up quite neatly.
Although it is not said to be spotless, at least the countless cobwebs and dust in this temple have been almost cleaned.
It's noon now.
Different from the area where Qingmangzong is located, even at noon, there is not much heat in Huzhou.
On the contrary, the warm sunlight shines on the body, and it feels quite comfortable.
In front of the temple in direct sunlight, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, naked and slightly thin, bathed in sunlight.
His legs shook violently, and he took a not-so-standard stride.
The upper part of his body, exposed to air, was smeared with a scarlet liquid, which was applied to the surface of his skin.
The boy seemed to be suffering in great pain, and he was sweating profusely in the not very hot sun.
But he didn't let out even a trace of moaning, just stubbornly clenched his teeth, and his resolute face was full of persistence.
In front of the temple, a cute girl of seven or eight years old was sitting on the threshold.
Immediately wrinkled his petite nose and looked at the young man with a horse in front of him, with a concern that could not be concealed in his bright eyes.
After a while, the girl Ai Ting finally couldn't help it, turned over her little face, which had recovered a little blood, looked at Xu Mu, who was already sleepy at the threshold, and asked timidly in a slightly immature voice.
"Brother Xu Mu, how long does my brother have to tie the horse!"
The latter's upper body was leaning against the half-tattered temple door panel, half-squinting his eyes.
"Hmm~ It's almost there. Hearing Ai Ting's soft voice, Xu Mu smiled lightly, but his eyelids did not open a little.
The red liquid applied to Ai Yi's body was the essence blood of a Qi Dual Heavenly Demon Beast, which he had hunted casually in the mountains and forests fifty miles away the day before yesterday.
Now what Ai Yi is suffering from is the pain of forging the body of the Blood Devouring Body Forging Method, but fortunately, the quality of this essence blood is not high.
Ai Yi has a tough personality, but he can carry it.
Of course, Ai Yi's mortal body, even if it is the Imperial Qi Dual Heavenly Essence Blood, is difficult to bear.
Therefore, Xu Mu had to neutralize it with pain-relieving herbs, diluting the power of essence blood.
Rao is like this, and it still hurts to the bone marrow.
And Xu Mu, who had experienced the pain of the Blood Devouring Body Forging Method, knew the pain that Ai Yi was experiencing now.
But he didn't mean to tell Ai Yi to stop. Because this is what Ai Yi took the initiative to request.
On the night three days ago, when he returned to the temple, Ai Yi fell on his knees in front of him and begged Xu Mu to take him as an apprentice.
Xu Mu refused.
After all, he himself was just a cultivator of the Nine Heavens of Imperial Qi.
Although the strength is strong and can fight in the half-step body realm, it is only the imperial qi realm.
Teaching a disciple requires more than just a nod that can be solved.
It takes a lot of time to teach, not to mention, and it has to have enough time to precipitate the insights on the cultivation level to pass on to the disciples.
Xu Mu doesn't have this idle time.
He just wanted to end this trip to Huzhou as soon as possible, return to the sect, and fulfill the promise he made with his senior brother.
And within a year, rush into the top 50 of the Dragon Gate list to see the so-called Forbidden Land.
All in all, he's busy!
But Ai Yi still refuses to give up, since he suffered the experience of Lingyang City's sister being almost killed, he desperately wants to have the strength to protect his sister.
Then change the status quo and make your sister have a better life.
No one wants to be a beggar for the rest of their lives, right?
Xu Mu was helpless, for the sake of his sister Ai Ting, who was so pitiful, he taught him the Blood Devouring Body Forging Method.
Don't refine qi, only forge the body.
After cultivating the method of forging the body to a certain realm, the physical body is comparable to that of a demon beast, even without the assistance of spiritual power, it can still fight and kill the monks of the Qi Realm.
For Ai Yi, even if he only cultivates the Blood Devouring Forging Method, he can still have the power of self-protection in this Huzhou.
The most important thing is that the Blood Devouring Body Forging Method is simple to teach...... Xu Mu can save a lot of time.
It's not because Ai Yi doesn't have the talent to practice.
Xu Mu has checked Ai Yi's qualifications, and he has a spiritual root, and the quality is not low, and the water attribute spiritual root is of the highest grade.
In another time, maybe Xu Mu will accept this disciple, and he can be regarded as a genius with high-grade talent, and his heart is still so resolute.
It's a pity that Ai Yi's apprenticeship is not the right time.
"Poof!" On the other side, Xu Mu was lazily talking to Ai Ting.
Ai Yi, who was walking on a horse and suffering the pain of forging his body, seemed to have reached his limit.
The trembling body could no longer hold on, and his feet went limp, and he fell directly to the ground.
In his thin chest, he was violently bullied, panting, and sweat poured like a spring, soaking the ground where he fell.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Ai Ting, who was paying close attention to her brother, hurriedly trotted over and checked her brother's condition with concern.
"Yes, I lasted half a column of incense more than yesterday. When he came out of the temple door and saw Ai Yi fall down with his own eyes, Xu Mu opened his half-squinted eyes and sat up lazily from the half-lying ground.
Then he clapped his palms and walked in three or two steps to Ai Yi, who was lying horizontally.
"Can you get up?"
With a kind smile on his face, Xu Mu lowered his head with interest and looked into Ai Yi's eyes.
"En!" nodded stubbornly, Ai Yi refused his sister's support and turned over.
Standing on all fours, he trembled and got up from the ground soaked with his own sweat.
"The essence of these essence blood has been almost absorbed by you. Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Mu was quite satisfied with Ai Yi's performance.
With his arm stretched, a pot of water was taken out of the storage bag, and then he used his spiritual power to guide Ai Yi's blood stains with clean water.
"Take a break, have lunch, and continue in the afternoon. ”
Throwing down such a sentence lightly, Xu Mu had already walked into the temple slowly.
Ai Yi grinned, did not refuse, moved his heavy steps, and followed with his sister.
The so-called lunch is just the meat of a roasted Imperial Qi Double Heaven Giant Rat Demon Beast.
But the flesh and blood of demon beasts can be described as a great supplement for mortals.
It is much more nourishing than those so-called medicinal diets.
Especially for Ai Yi and Ai Ting, children who often can't eat enough, they can recuperate their bodies.
Even Ai Ting, who is the weakest, has been treated with a pill and conditioned in the past few days, and her small face, which was originally yellow and thin, has become a little fuller. It's even cuter.
Without Xu Mu opening his mouth, Ai Yi and Ai Ting had already salivated and pounced on the giant rat meat on the pile of flames in the center of the temple.
The meat of the demon beast can be described as a delicacy in the world, much better than the dishes in those restaurants.
Ai Yi and Ai Ting have tasted the sweetness in the past few days, and they can't help but smell the fragrance.
The temple was filled with the smell of meat, and Xu Mu did not step forward to share the meat with their brothers and sisters, but sat cross-legged on the side, muttering to himself: "Raise your mouths, and when I leave, see what you eat." ”
With that, Xu Mu shook his head, closed his eyes and entered the cultivation.
There was still a residual medicinal power of the Anti-Blood Elixir in his body that had not been fully absorbed, and whenever he had time, he would mobilize the spiritual power in his body to refine those medicinal powers.
It's slow, but it's better than nothing.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Xu Mu, who had just closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes again.
A pair of peaceful eyes flashed with a rare fierceness.
With his forehead tilted, his eyes were as bright as a sword, and he looked straight at the door of the temple.
