Chapter 45: The Remains of a Natural Disaster
"Yang Ming!"
Huang Lang still shouted wildly, and after a long time, he suddenly turned his head, his eyes were red, and he looked at Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu...... You're ....... ruthless!"
After gritting his teeth, he saw Huang Lang take out a black paper talisman from the cuff, on which were painted with golden pictures and texts, emitting bursts of spiritual light.
With a shake of his hand, the black paper talisman was immediately ignited in Huang Lang's hand, and the aura suddenly became more dazzling, and not long after it burned, the paper talisman suddenly turned into a palm-sized black flag, and was immediately thrown into the hollow hole in front of Huang Lang.
"That's Master Huang Lang's magic weapon, the 'Three Souls Flag'. A disciple exclaimed.
The soul flag did not fall into the pit, but was suspended in mid-air, and as Huang Lang pinched his hand, bursts of agility poured into the hole from the command flag.
"Soul Gathering...... Fang Yangming. ”
With the movement of Huang Lang's mantra, soon, pale yellow points of light began to converge in the pit, and these points of light gradually formed the form of a person, and after the figure was fully formed, Lin Xiu saw that it was actually Fang Yangming's soul.
In an instant, Fang Yangming's soul flew into the Ling Banner, and then quickly flew back to Huang Lang's sleeve pocket.
At this moment, Meng Yang and Qi Heng also fell from the high platform and stood on both sides of Lin Xiu.
Qi Heng helped Lin Xiu up in a panic and said, "Apprentice, you, are you okay?"
Lin Xiu curled the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Master, the disciple is fine." ”
"Oh, you see you're bleeding ......"
didn't wait for Qi Heng to finish speaking, only to hear Huang Lang say angrily: "Bleeding!?Hmph, Qi Heng, the good apprentice you taught, you dare to kill your fellow senior brother like this, he is bleeding, but my Yang Ming is dead now!"
Meng Yang immediately stepped forward and said, "The competition doesn't matter if it's life or death, Senior Brother Huang Lang, this rule was set by you personally." ”
Meng Yang's words made Huang Lang's face turn blue for a while, and then he said: "Lin Xiu has already competed for two consecutive games, and he can get two hours of rest. ”
After speaking, Meng Yang gave Qi Heng a look, and Qi Heng immediately understood, and planned to fly to Xiaoquan Peak with Lin Xiu.
But as soon as he turned his head, Qi Heng found that many white-clothed disciples of the Zhongnan Sect were surrounding Lin Xiu, and they were holding a lot of pills and magic weapons in their hands.
"Senior Brother Lin, use my 'Quick Return Dan' to ensure that you will be more energetic in half an hour. ”
"Senior Brother Lin, please take my 'Tonifying Elixir'. ”
"You guys don't work, Senior Brother Lin's injuries are not light, and I can only take care of my body by putting on this 'white jade robe'. ”
...... At this moment, in everyone's hearts, Lin Xiu is already a well-deserved senior brother among the white-clothed disciples of the Zhongnan faction, no matter what kind of people they used to be, these people are now playing with their lives to offer their courtesy.
Qi Heng didn't know what to do with a bitter face, but he heard Lin Xiu, who was still bleeding from the corner of his mouth, say: "Everyone is kind, but I am disrespectful, please give these elixir magic weapons to He Kun, and he will count them one by one for me." ”
Lin Xiu's words stunned everyone around him, and He Kun suddenly said secretly in his heart: "What a Lin Xiu, it is worthy of coming from our Chang'an Town, and he didn't forget to get oil and water at this time...... Hey, hey, hey, I'm going to send it now. ”
Immediately, everyone immediately gathered towards He Kun, and all kinds of elixir magic weapons flew into He Kun's pocket like rain in the sky, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi Heng immediately flew to Xiaoquan Peak with Lin Xiu.
For all this, the head Zhao Yuqi had his own plans, so he did not intervene. After Lin Xiu's master and apprentice flew away, Zhao Yuqi immediately got up, his feather fan waved, the ground trembled slightly, and the depression in the square immediately slowly raised, and soon, a ring mixed with mud and stone stood again, Zhao Yuqi waved his hand again, and it was actually carved a "Xuan" word on the ring.
"The disciples of the four sects should not panic, it is still early now, and the competition can continue. After Zhao Yuqi finished speaking, she smiled and slowly sat down.
Besides, on Xiaoquan Peak, Qi Heng took Lin Xiu to the Alchemy Pavilion, and then took out the best pill for Lin Xiu to take.
Although Lin Xiu's injuries were serious, they did not affect the roots, and after taking the pill, after breathing a little, the blood stains on the corners of his mouth suddenly stopped, and his complexion also recovered a lot.
Seeing Lin Xiu get better, Qi Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and then, he asked earnestly: "Apprentice, you, how did you come to cultivate this body?" Could it be Senior Brother Meng Yang, ......?"
Lin Xiu shook his head bitterly, "Master, the disciple is not filial, and he has not been able to tell you, but the matter is too complicated, if I say it, I am afraid that it will cause you trouble." ”
"Bastard words. Qi Heng said a little angrily, "You have achieved success, Master will wake up laughing when you have to dream, no matter how complicated it is, even if there is trouble, Master, a person who has nothing to worry about, will you still be afraid?"
Lin Xiu took a deep breath, and after thinking for a long time, he told Master everything one by one.
After listening, Qi Heng's face was shocked, and after a long time, he said with tears in his eyes: "Boss, he, he actually killed Senior Brother Xu Chunqiu......"
People say that Zhong Nan sent Lu Xuzhen to have seven sons, all of whom are extraordinary, but in fact, among the seven people, Qi Heng and Xu Chunqiu are relatively weak in talent and strength, recalling the past, the seven people started on the same day, at that time, they were all little dolls who were taken up the mountain by Master Lu Xuzhen, and everyone was quite close, who was bad for bullying, senior brother Zhao Yuqi always took the lead in giving anger to the junior brothers, and the picture of the past came back to the eyes, but it made Qi Heng even more heartbroken.
Qi Heng didn't ask about the "Ten Layers of Dreams", nor did he want to know the mystery of the brush on Lin Xiu's body, the old man's heart just couldn't forget what the master said to him when he was dying......
"Xiuzhen...... It's difficult, even if you can cultivate the Great Thousand Realms, you can't cultivate people's hearts...... Qi Heng, if you want to cultivate the realm, take the book "Zhong Nan Imperial Sword Technique" that the master gave you and look through it, there are some paintings in it, which are the essence of the Four Elephants Sword Technique, and your other senior brothers can't practice it, but you can probably practice it, if you ...... Ahem, if you want to cultivate your mind, then guard Master's six Ding Furnaces and concentrate on alchemy in the future...... Actually, Master is wrong, I, I shouldn't have brought you to the mountain, I shouldn't have ......"
Qi Heng followed his master's instructions and guarded the six Ding furnaces from then on, but the book that recorded the Four Elephants Sword Technique was thrown aside by him until Lin Xiu came to Xiaoquan Peak.
Today, when he saw Lin Xiu perform the Four Elephant Sword Technique, Qi Heng's surprise was different from others, he just didn't know where his apprentice came from, but now that he knew everything, Qi Heng's heart was difficult to calm down.
Lin Xiu asked, "Master, why does the head of the sect want to get the tenth-layer dream realm so much? He is already about to set foot in the Yuan Infant Cultivation, can he do whatever it takes for this?"
Qi Heng said bitterly: "I know what Senior Brother he is for, but these things ...... Alas. Qi Heng suddenly looked at his precious apprentice and said, "Lin Xiu, you, you are really stupid, why do you want to expose your cultivation in front of everyone, isn't this asking for trouble for yourself." ”
Lin Xiu said: "Master, don't hide it, the disciple has the heart to leave the Zhongnan faction, and the only thing that can't be left is Master, your old man." ”
Qi Heng nodded and said: "Master knows, with an apprentice like you, Master's life will be worth it, in short, how can you not hand over the ten-layer dream realm to the master, there are four sects of masters right now, with your current cultivation, you must go to the Hanshan Heavenly Vein, when the time comes, you will find a chance to leave, and never come back." ”
Lin Xiu couldn't tell his master about the hatred he had for Zhao Yuqi in his heart, and after listening to it, he just knelt down and kowtowed to his master three times.
"Oh, you kid...... Tsk, okay, okay, watch out. ”
Qi Heng said, and planned to go to Xueyue Peak to find a few medicinal materials to make a better recovery pill for Lin Xiu. With the fake pill cultivation in his body now, refining a small amount of pill in half an hour was not a problem at all.
After the master went out, Lin Xiu continued to sit cross-legged and pranayama. Suddenly, he found that the brush in his chest was shaking rapidly, and at the same time, an extremely vague voice came from his head: "Zhao Yuqi is here, flee quickly." ”
Lin Xiu frowned, knowing that this was the senior in the brush who was consuming the Yuan Shen warning him. He didn't expect Zhao Yuqi to come so quickly, and for a while, he didn't know where to hide.
At this time, Lin Er in Lin Xiu's arms jumped down from his robe, as if even it felt a crisis.
After Lin Er screamed a few times at Lin Xiu, he immediately jumped out of the window, Lin Xiu didn't care much, and also performed the light feather technique to follow.
Under the leadership of Lin Er, Lin Xiu came to the dense forest of Xiaoquan Peak, and soon after, Lin Er stopped on the edge of a cliff, then looked at the bottom of the cliff for a while, and shouted at Lin Xiu for a while.
Lin Xiu suddenly remembered that when he first went up the mountain, he had found a crack under this cliff, and he didn't know how to do it at that time, so he couldn't go in to inspect it.
"Does Lin Er want me to hide in it?"
Without thinking too much, Lin Xiu picked up Lin Er, and then jumped off the cliff and entered the crack.
This crack was very huge, and it was even more spacious, originally it should have been pitch black all around, but Lin Xiu saw that blue liquid again on the stone walls and ground around him.
The slime glowed eerily, illuminating the cave a little eeriely.
After walking for nearly 100 meters, Lin Xiu was suddenly surprised to find that a water curtain appeared in front of him.
If it was ordinary flowing water, Lin Xiu would not be surprised at all, but the water curtain in front of him did not move at all, there was no water flow, and it stood straight on the road ahead.
Lin Er did not hesitate and flew directly into the water curtain, Lin Xiu stopped slightly, and then continued to follow.
When passing through the water curtain, Lin Xiu didn't feel the slightest water stain, but it was more like passing through a thick layer of air, and after passing through, Lin Xiu frowned even more.
In the huge grotto in front of him, there were corpses of wild beasts scattered everywhere, these beasts were very huge, all with sharp claws and fangs, and their appearance was very fierce. Judging from the color of the bones, they should have been dead for a long time, what made Lin Xiu wonder was that there were so many terrifying beasts, how could they all die here?
"Could it be that there is a more fierce existence in this cave?"
Thinking of this, Lin Xiu couldn't help but be more careful, but suddenly he realized that Lin Er had disappeared.
Lin Xiu was worried that the little guy had an accident, so he looked around, but between the back and forth, Lin Xiu suddenly stepped on something slippery under his feet, and then the soles of his feet were empty, and the whole person began to fall downward.
With the Light Feather Technique, Lin Xiu was originally able to pause his body in an instant, but he soon discovered that there was a huge suction force in the pit where he fell, and even if he used the Light Feather Technique with all his might, his body still fell down quickly.
I don't know how long it took, but fortunately, Lin Xiu didn't relax his light feather technique, and finally his feet finally stepped on the ground steadily.
He immediately noticed that the rocks around him were covered with the same slippery liquid, which also glowed blue, but was darker.
"Chirp, chirp......"
Lin Er's voice came from the front, and Lin Xiu immediately walked there, but as soon as he took two steps, he was shocked to find that his speed was actually several times faster than usual, and if he tried again, it was still the same.
Lin Xiu couldn't help but look at the blue liquid on the soles of his feet, and said secretly, "Could it be that this mucus has the effect of increasing movement speed?"
Lin Xiu didn't have time to think about it, he just took out two vials from his sleeve pocket, filled them with blue liquid, and continued to look for Lin Er.
Finally, in front of a huge rock, Lin Xiu saw Lin Er lying there, sitting motionless.
Lin Xiu picked him up, only to find that Lin Er was still staring at the giant rock intently, and there seemed to be tears flashing in his eyes.
Lin Xiu was extremely puzzled, so he carefully observed the huge rock.
The more he looked at Lin Xiu, the more frightened he became, and he gradually realized that the ten-zhang thing in front of him was not a rock at all, but a very huge ...... that was closing Eye!
Lin Xiu immediately took a step back, and when he looked around, he could see an even larger outline of the head.
The large, unknown head was already hidden in dirt and rocks, and even the skin was petrified. Lin Xiu imagined that a giant beast the same size as Xiaoquan Peak appeared in his mind.
Lin Er's expression was very sad, looking at the huge head in front of him, there were even tears in his eyes.
"Could it be that there is any connection between Lin Er and this giant beast?" As he spoke, Lin Xiu was shocked, and suddenly remembered something.
What Lin Xiu thought of was the legend of Zhong Nanshan, 10,000 years ago, Zhong Nan had no mountain, a generation of Xuanzu Lu Yixian and the legendary "natural disaster beast" fought for 100 days, and finally, Lu Yixian led the heavens to suppress it, and this is the Zhongnan Five Peaks.
Thinking that what he saw in front of him might be the remains of the Heavenly Calamity Beast, Lin Xiu couldn't help but gasp.
"If the petrified head in front of you is the Heavenly Calamity Beast, then Lin Er is ......."
Just then, a strange voice came.
"Uh......h Ah......h
The sound was distant, faint, and came from a black hole next to the petrified skull.
At this moment, Lin Er jumped onto Lin Xiu's shoulders again, and there was no sadness on his face anymore. Lin Xiu smiled and touched its head, then slowly followed the voice.
In the process, Lin Xiu found that the less blue liquid under his feet, the more normal his speed became, which further confirmed his previous guess.
There was no longer any blue liquid in the stone cave, it was pitch black, and after walking for a whole hour, Lin Xiu felt that he had left the range of Xiaoquan Peak, and then he felt that the voice was a little clearer.
He said strangely in his heart: "This voice seems to be a man and a woman...... Hmph, this place should already be at the foot of the mountain, it can't be a pair of brothers and sisters on the mountain, but why does the sound spread so far away?"
But as soon as he got closer, Lin Xiu felt that things were not so simple, because a huge spiritual pressure that he had never experienced before was gradually emerging as he approached. (I wish you all a happy new year, all the best, and all your wishes come true.) )
