Chapter 230: Ascension
Yun Niang supported her cheek with her left hand, and lay lazily on the table, with a boring expression.
"After making trouble for so long, can you go back with me?" Xia Lin sat opposite, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and said lightly.
Yun Niang's age seems to be enough to be Xia Lin's mother, but at this moment, the aura of the two is completely reversed, as if Xia Lin is Yun Niang's elder.
"I'm staying here so well, why should I go back. Yun Niang pouted.
"Okay?" Xia Lin shook his head and said, "Do you know that since the first day you came here, your family has received a summons from Six Doors, if it weren't for the family to speak for you, I'm afraid that before I come over, you would have been cleared by the assassination sent by Six Doors." ”
Yun Niang said coldly: "I didn't ask them to speak for me, even if the Six Doors sent out an assassination arrest, it is not certain who clears whom." ”
As she spoke, her jade hand, which was held up in front of her, suddenly swelled three inches, red as blood, and flashed with a faint cold light under the reflection of the candlelight, looking extremely hideous.
"Nonsense!" Xia Lin shouted angrily: "You still want to openly confront Song Ting!"
Yun Niang pursed her lips vigorously, without saying a word, and put her nails back.
"Among our brothers and sisters, you are the youngest and have the highest qualifications, so the elders in the family have spoiled you since you were a child, and we let you as the elder brother, but what about you?"
Xia Lin's cold voice was extremely stern: "I only know how to be angry and play with my temperament! I never know how to cultivate well, after three hundred years, my cultivation is still in the Six-Tails Realm, and I haven't made the slightest progress! If you break through to the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Demon Realm now, will my father still insist on marrying you to that little bull demon? Even if you dislike it, it won't be your turn to dislike others, but people will dislike you!"
Ahh
In the backyard, Rhubarb, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up from a dream with a big sneeze, and looked around with its confused head, and when it saw that there was no movement, it yawned and fell asleep again.
Yun Niang bit her lower lip hard, without the slightest intention to refute Xia Lin.
Indeed, she is completely unqualified to dislike others.
Maverick Demon is his nickname, not his name, because his nickname is so loud that no one knows what his name is.
There is a terrifying existence in the outer region, known as the Mighty Bull Demon King, who is extremely powerful, and has a terrifying record of overpowering the three major grandmasters with his own strength, which is a huge shadow hanging over the heads of the Great Song Dynasty and many sects.
Known as the Maverick Demon, his strength can be imagined.
It was originally a demon from the outer realm, and was captured by the powerhouses of the Liuyun Sect from the outer regions two hundred years ago, and was escaped by it when he was about to teleport back to the sect.
At that time, the world was in turmoil, the rule of the Great Zhou was powerless and crumbling, and there was chaos in various places.
Since the Great Song Dynasty seized the world, the Little Maverick Demon has joined a powerful tribe that has submitted to the Great Song Dynasty, although it has gradually disappeared and is no longer as unscrupulous as it once was, but its reputation is still extremely loud in their circle.
In just two hundred years, he broke through from the innate realm to the late stage of the Earth Yuan, and now he is even more close to breaking through the realm of heavenly demons by chance, and this kind of terrifying cultivation speed is extremely rare in the entire world today.
For example, today's chaos is gradually emerging, and the family elders are far-sighted, and in order to plan for the long term, they want to marry Yun Niang to the little bull demon, and use marriage to deepen the relationship between the little cow demon and the tribe behind it.
For three hundred years, the strength has stayed in the six-tailed realm in the middle of the Diyuan Dynasty, and it is no wonder that the family will give up on continuing to cultivate her and use her as a pawn for marriage.
Looking at Yun Niang's silent appearance, Xia Lin's heart softened, and he sighed lightly: "Xiao Qi petitioned to marry that little bull demon, and my father has agreed." ”
Yun Niang suddenly raised her head and opened her mouth slightly: "Seventh sister......"
The beautiful face that has always been smiling gently passed through her mind, from childhood to adulthood, Seventh Sister has always been the person who has the best relationship with her, the closest to her, and this time for her......
If there is a choice, who doesn't want to spend time with their true love?
Instead of being used as a gift, given to an unknown demon who was full of fishy clothes as a wife and concubine.
There was already some moisture in my eyes.
Although she had never seen that little bull demon, Yun Niang heard other people's descriptions in the past and thought that the little cow demon was a tall and strong monster with a fishy body.
She sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, let's go back tomorrow!
Xia Lin shook his head slightly: "No." ”
Yun Niang hurriedly said: "Why? Didn't you just come to let me go back this time?"
Xia Lin took the last sip of tea and said, "First, the family has exchanged marriage letters with the other party, and it is determined that Xiao Qi will marry, and it is impossible to change his mind. ”
Hearing this, Yun Niang opened her mouth to speak, but Xia Lin stretched out her hand to stop her, and continued: "Second, I didn't come specifically for you this time, since you have already come out, my father told me that I will let you take a break outside for a while, and then go back, but you can't kill in vain like some time ago!
Yun Niang gritted her teeth and said: "The people I killed were all people who saw me alone and had bad intentions towards me, could it be that I cultivated all my body, and I still had to be bullied? If you don't go back tomorrow, I'll go back alone!"
"No, I can't. ”
Xia Lin took out a scroll from his arms and threw it in front of Yun Niang, Yun Niang picked up the scroll suspiciously, unfolded it, and suddenly looked at it, her face suddenly looked up, and she looked up and said, "The family wants to catch up with that Red Flame Palace Master?"
"That's right, and it's a rare opportunity. Xia Lin nodded and said, "As long as you take down that disciple who is only in the innate realm, you can exchange it for a promise from the Red Flame Palace Lord, and anyone has to be moved." So my family asked me to investigate this matter this time, and asked you to assist me by the way. ”
Yun Niang hesitated: "I have also heard about this matter, but since that defected disciple can successfully get out of Yunzhou, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to find his traces, right?"
"You'll have to try to find out. Xia Lin shook his head.
He suddenly frowned and looked out of the door, Yun Niang's face also showed a sneer, and said, "Another guy with lust." ”
"This man...... Forget it, clean up. Xia Lin hesitated for a moment and changed his words.
Then the whole person turned into a wisp of white smoke and floated out of the window.
In the courtyard outside the room, Qiu Cheng was walking towards Yun Niang's room with a book in his hand, and Yun Niang's whisper in his ear at night flashed in his mind:
"Although Yun Niang is a country woman, she is usually the most admired by Gongzi, a scholar who is well-mannered and educated, and she also yearns for those sages and sages...... When the third watch is in the middle of the night, Yun Niang is waiting for you in the room. ”
Although the night breeze was cold, Qiu Cheng's heart was hot, and he thought in his heart: Although teaching a vulgar village woman is insulting to my identity as a talented person, the heart of learning is rare after all......
"Squeak......
was still thinking nonsense in his mind, and his hand had unconsciously pushed open the door of Yun Niang's room that was not latched.
Looking at Yun Niang, who was sitting lazily at the table, smiling like a flower under the candlelight, and her style was better than that of the day, Qiu Cheng couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
So much so that he completely ignored Yun Niang's abnormal nails, which were three inches long and red as blood.
The wind came from nowhere and closed the door, and a faint smell of blood carried away with the night wind.
............
"Why does Rhubarb seem to be a little low today?"
Huang Zhen touched Rhubarb's head, looked at its bloodshot eyes and said in surprise.
Rhubarb shook his head helplessly, smoked by the commotion of a few foxes all night, can it have good spirits?
Last night, it first inexplicably snezed and disturbed its good dreams, and then it was awakened by a faint smell of blood, and when it was curious and carefully probed, it immediately regretted it.
The fox with a full nose is angry.
If it hadn't been forgiven by Huang Qi, it was strictly forbidden to make unauthorized moves all the way, and it would have gone to hammer those foxes to death and chew them up.
What it hates most is the smell of the fox.
Thinking of this, Rhubarb was a little complaining, if it wasn't for the marriage with a dead fox, how could it come to Yunzhou, and as a result, it fell to the point of pulling a carriage for others today.
was thinking about his thoughts, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Huang Zhen walking to the edge of the courtyard, bending down and breaking off a red wildflower, and then walked to it and stuck it on its head......
"It must be because the little yellow flower on the top of the head was picked off by the eldest brother yesterday, so I am so unhappy, and now I have a more beautiful flower for you, happy, right?"
Huang Zhen touched Rhubarb's head and said.
Rhubarb: "......"
On the other side, Huang Qi was saying goodbye to Xia Lin.
"What is this?" Huang Qi said in surprise while holding a jade flute that Xia Linsai had given him.
Xia Lin said with a smile: "Brother Huang and I hit it off at first sight, a small gift, and I ask Brother Huang not to refuse." ”
The jade flute is emerald green all over, and is made into the shape of a green bamboo, with a total of seven sections, and a few simple cloud patterns appear around the jade flute, exuding a slight energy fluctuation.
This jade bamboo jade flute is a formation weapon, although it is very low-level, but it is still a rare treasure for ordinary mortals, Xia Lin can give this jade flute to Huang Qi, who is a mere mortal in his eyes, which means that he really regards him as a friend.
Giving gifts to friends is the custom among the literati of the Great Song Dynasty, Huang Qi did not shirk, he accepted the jade flute and pondered for a while, then took out the ivory folding fan from his waist, and said: "When you go out, you don't have anything to do outside, and you just want to smile at it." ”
After thinking about it, he only had this folding fan on his body to give away.
Although there are many treasures in the empty jade, they are too precious to suit his current identity, and the original soothing incense is quite suitable, but they are all stored in the sachet, and it is not suitable for a man at this moment.
Although the ivory folding fan was originally a mundane thing, it was entered by Huang Qi who had just recalled a divine thought imprint from his heart, and now it was not inferior to the jade flute in terms of value.
In addition, he is also making an attempt, that is, to see if the divine thoughts attached to the dead things will also grow.
Xia Lin didn't see the wonder of the ivory folding fan, in his eyes it was an ordinary mortal object, but he still held it in his hand very preciously, and saluted: "Brother Huang, there will be a period later." ”
Huang Qi returned the salute: "There will be a period later." ”
After the two said goodbye, Huang Qi turned around and left to get into the carriage, Yun Niang walked to Xia Lin, who stopped to watch, looked at the back of the carriage that was getting farther away, and said softly: "This son is a true gentleman, who is educated by etiquette, and even the mounts that travel are like the sages, with that temperamental scalper." ”
If she knew at this moment that she was almost swallowed alive by the temperamental scalper in her eyes last night, she didn't know how she would react.
Xia Lin sighed lightly, put away the folding fan, and was about to walk back to the inn, but when he entered the door, he inadvertently bumped into a person.
"I'm sorry. Xia Lin hurriedly apologized.
It was the man who was staying with Shu Lingran who collided with him, because he collided with Xia Lin, who was dressed luxuriously, and he apologized again and again at this moment.
"Oh, that's not right. Looking at the figure of the man who was fading away, Yun Niang suddenly said loudly.
Xia Lin was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Take your cultivation as the third brother. Yun Niang frowned and said, "How can such a big person not sense his existence and collide with him?"
Hearing this, Xia Lin realized that he didn't feel the slightest breath of the man when he just entered the door.
There's something wrong with that man!
Xia Lin and Yun Niang glanced at each other, and knew that both sides had thought of one place.
"Let's take a look!" Xia Lin quickly made a decision, and said, "Let's find out where he really came from." ”
He was still cautious and did not get carried away all at once.
Yun Niang nodded, she knew what the third brother meant, the demon fox clan has always been like this, without full certainty, they will never act easily.
In the distance, the newborn morning still had a dark red, as if shrouded in a thick layer of blood.
............
"Wait. ”
Shu Lingran suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to stop his junior brother Zhou Xuan.
At this moment, the sun is slanting to the west, it is past noon, and the sunlight passes through the dense branches and leaves, leaving dappled light and shadow on the ground.
"What's the matter, Senior Sister?" Zhou Xuan immediately cheered up and watched his surroundings vigilantly.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only countless trees and fallen leaves on the ground as far as the eye could see, and there was nothing unusual at all.
Shu Lingran's face was extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't you think that this forest is a little too quiet?"
Be quiet?
After being reminded by Shu Lingran, Zhou Xuan discovered something abnormal.
I don't know when, the sound of birds and beasts that originally sounded in the ears of the two of them from time to time was now gone, not only that, but even the rustle of branches and leaves disappeared when the breeze blew.
It's understandable that birds and beasts occasionally don't chirp, but it's really weird that there is no sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves.
"Dangerous!"
The two glanced at each other, and immediately bit the tip of their tongues without hesitation, spurting out a mouthful of essence blood, and the two blood mist quickly fused together in front of them, condensing into a blood sword, turning into a blood-colored streamer and rushing into the sky.
Click......
A crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and then quickly spread out in all directions, forming a huge crack like a spider's web, and then shattered, revealing the real environment in front of them, a dense forest that had been covered with white mist for some time.
At the same time, a woman's muffled snort sounded from the depths of the white mist, and the white mist quickly dissipated.
The two who broke through the illusion quickly flew in the opposite direction of the woman's voice.
It didn't take long for two figures, one white and one red, to appear in the place where they had been staying, it was Xia Lin and Yun Niang.
But at this moment, Yun Niang is looking like a girl, wearing a fiery red gown, and her soft face is extremely ugly.
Although illusion is not her main practice, it has allowed the two innate people to escape, and even suffered minor injuries because the illusion was broken, so it is no wonder that she showed such a face.
"Although I didn't succeed in torturing their identities and origins, they finally cracked the secret method used by my illusion, which is the unique secret method of the Qingyun Sect. Yun Niang said quickly.
Xia Lin nodded and said: "Now that the Qingyun Sect has been changed to the Red Flame Palace, if the disciples of the Red Flame Palace go out to travel, they will never be so sneaky, it seems that even if they are not the group of defecting disciples, they have a lot to do with it, we will chase!"
The two of them used a secret technique, and after capturing Shu Lingran's breath, they turned into two streamers and quickly flew in the direction they were leaving.
............
The moon hangs high, and the moonlight shines on the earth.
Huang Qi sat on a bluestone, his eyes slightly closed, his heart facing the sky, and an invisible wave emanated from his body, blowing ripples from the waterhole around him, shattering the full moon reflected in the waterhole.
This is the depths of the dense forest, some distance from Huang Zhen and them, after dinner, Huang Qi directly hypnotized the three of them, let Rhubarb take care of them, and came here to improve their martial arts.
After half a ring, he reluctantly opened his eyes and gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air that had been stuffed in his chest for a long time.
Just now, he tried to use the Qingyuan Jue by himself to refine the essence in his body into internal breath without the help of chips.
As a result, the pitiful speed of transformation was too fast for him to look at.
The efficiency was too low, and Huang Qi estimated that it would take at least a whole day and a night before he could convert all those essence elements into true qi and break through the first level of the Qingyuan Jue.
He could finally understand the reason why those demon god aliens gave up their cultivation.
This is still when the essence is sufficient, it is so difficult to break through the most basic first layer, how can you play so many exercises in the back?
"Chips. Huang Qi looked at the chip box in his sight, and said silently in his heart: "Improve Qingyuan Jue." The three words Qingyuanjue on the chip suddenly became blurred.
A huge suction force suddenly appeared from the dantian, absorbing and converging the internal breath of the whole body into it, forming a high-speed rotating cyclone, and the dantian in the lower abdomen was cool.
At the same time, countless subtle heat currents appeared from all over Huang Qi's body, and flowed all the way towards the dantian, a large number of heat currents continued to converge and merge, and finally formed several larger and scorching heat flows, which rushed into the spinning cyclone.
Those heat flows were the essence elements stored by Huang Qi in various parts of his body, and with the inflow of a large number of essence elements, the cyclone at the dantian turned faster and faster, and became bigger and bigger.
Rushing......
Suddenly, the wind rose out of thin air in the dense forest, and the wind became stronger and stronger, blowing countless branches and leaves.
In the round pool, Huang Qi was raising his head and opening his mouth, and the terrifying suction was coming out of his mouth, and a gorgeous unknown bird kept flapping its wings, still unable to break free from the terrifying suction, desperately and with many fallen leaves, involved in the bottomless black hole.
............
Rumble!!
With a loud bang, a large tree in the arms of two people slowly fell, and the roots at the bottom of the big tree had completely disappeared, leaving a large charred black pit.
Before the explosion, the two figures scurried out of the trees and fled without looking back.
"Did you run?"
A cold voice sounded from behind them, but it was cold, but it also hid an indescribable softness.
Before the words fell, two figures, one red and one white, appeared over the woods, and flew towards the two fleeing at a very fast speed.
The two fleeing figures ignored them and rushed forward with all their hearts.
A fiery red glow shot from behind, shooting into the open space in front of the two of them.
Rumble!!
Shu Lingran and Zhou Xuan quickly shot to both sides reflexively, avoiding the explosion.
A large crater more than three meters deep appeared in the same place.
Shu Lingran's face was pale, and she needed to use all her strength to achieve the level of damage caused by someone else's casual blow.
"Senior Brother Zhou, you go first!
Looking at the two figures approaching at high speed, Shu Lingran gritted his teeth and spoke.
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "No!
As he spoke, another red ray shot towards the two of them, and the blood-colored red light exploded from mid-air, turning into a huge blood web composed of dense blood-red threads, heading towards the two of them under the hood.
Shu Lingran quickly took out a small paper sword from her bosom, the paper sword was made of yellow rune paper, with blood-colored lines painted on it, her face showed a trace of pain, and she injected true qi and shot towards the blood net.
The moment the paper sword left his hand, it began to burn inch by inch, and then it grew into a fire sword more than two meters long, and slashed into the center of the blood network in mid-air.
The web of blood and the sword of fire were annihilated together.
"Take care of this thing!!" Before Zhou Xuan could see what Shu Lingran was stuffing in his hand, he was pushed away by his palm and flew towards the other side of the dense forest.
Although Xia Lin and Yun Niang had not yet flown close to them, the content of their conversation was completely heard in their ears, and when they saw Zhou Xuan far away, Xia Lin did not hesitate to chase in the direction of Zhou Xuan.
He is not worried about Yun Niang's safety, although Shu Lingran has a lot of means, but most of them are some secret methods of escaping, and his innate strength cannot pose a threat to Yun Niang at all, if they didn't make a heavy hand in order to catch the live mouth, Shu Lingran and Zhou Xuan would not have had time to use these secret treasures at all, and they would have died under their hands a long time ago.
Seeing that Xia Lin, who was the strongest, was attracted by Zhou Xuan, Shu Lingran's eyes showed a hint of joy, but that joy was quickly fleeting.
Because her hole cards have been almost used, it is still unknown whether she can escape from Yun Niang's hands.
............
Boom......
A slight popping sound came from Huang Qi's body, and he closed his eyes and gently exhaled a breath of turbidity.
A pale cyan gas spat out of his mouth, blown away by the night breeze and carried into the distance.
Wherever the night wind passed, all the trees began to glow with a layer of yellow pus, the bark fell off on its own, the branches and leaves gradually withered, and in just a few breaths, it turned into a completely dry black trunk, hideous and terrifying.
Huang Qi opened his eyes, raised his right hand and stood it in front of him, and a layer of pale cyan air was wrapping around it.
He slapped the waterhole.
The water was silent, and there was no reaction.
"......" Huang Qi showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
He forgot that the true qi of the acquired realm could not be released yet, and only the innate realm could the true qi leave the body and hurt people in the air.
But since he can't leave his body, he won't continue to try, and he has spent a lot of time here, so he should go back early.
He got up from the bluestone and was just about to leave, when he suddenly heard a strange sound, raised his eyebrows and walked in the direction from which the sound came.
didn't go far, Shu Lingran's embarrassed figure appeared in his sight.
After seeing Huang Qi, Shu Lingran's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly rushed towards him.
Seeing her like this, Huang Qi frowned slightly, and was about to ask, Shu Lingran grabbed his neck, and the other hand was glowing with a faint green glow, against his back, and shouted to Yun Niang who arrived later:
"Don't come here, I'll kill him if I come again!"
