Chapter Twenty-Four
The Soul Slayer Soul Destroying Array was Ding Buchen's trump card added to their squad after he joined the patrol and became a squad leader. This array is arranged according to the eight trigram directions of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui. If the patrols standing in all directions were to exert their full strength, the power they would burst out would be enough to wipe out all cultivators below the early stage of the Void Yuan Realm. Although Zhuang You was young and ignorant, he didn't know the specific origin and danger of this formation, but he knew that there would never be good between Jin'er and Ding Buchen.
Seeing that his patrol brothers stood in the direction according to the setting of their formation, Ding Buchen urged Yuan Li to join the formation and stood on the Kun position in the southwest, making up for the lack of the patrol army surnamed Wang. Just as the formation base had just been built and was about to be urged, a purple Yuan Force Light Cluster dragged a bright flame-like tail and slammed into Ding Buchen's Qi Sea Dantian. In the face of the sudden sneak attack, Ding Buchen didn't even have time to shout before he died on the spot.
This sudden change not only frightened the remaining seven patrol troops, but also made Zhuang You feel inexplicably puzzled. He was full of vigilance to mobilize Yuan Force from the sea of qi and instill it into the Xuanmang Sword, and then looked nervously in the direction where the light group was coming.
"Little guy, be careful, there is an aura in the grass directly in front of you that has reached the consummation of the Xuanyuan Realm. ”
As soon as the voice of the mixed yuan dragon sounded in his heart, Zhuang You saw a black shadow quickly appear in the battle circle between him and the patrol army. In the blink of an eye, those who had not yet recovered from the shock of Ding Buchen's death had become the swords of the black shadow that was as fast as lightning. Seeing this situation, Zhuang You hurriedly followed his thoughts, preparing to control the Xuanmang Sword to defend against the enemy. But as soon as the Xuanmang Sword was suspended in the air, he withdrew his hand and took the sword back. He found that it was Zhou Qing, the guest elder of the clan, who helped him.
"Poor child, you are still alive. ”
After Zhou Qing made sure that there was no longer the breath of other people around, he unloaded his Yuan Li, relaxed his body and mind, and returned to his usual gentle appearance. Although his eyes were blind, his consciousness could already discern everything.
"Grandpa Zhou, why are you here?
Zhuang You eliminated his guard, his heart couldn't help but sour, and tears almost burst out of his eyes. He twitched his nose, raised his feet and walked to Zhou Qing's side, eagerly inquiring about the situation in the village. Without waiting for Zhou Qing to answer, a sharp fist wind rushed towards Zhuang You's face. Zhuang Youji Jing turned sideways and dodged over. He turned his face with great anger in his heart, and saw that the person who attacked him turned out to be Zhuang Yan of the patriarch's branch.
"Zhuang Yan must not be rude. ”
Zhou Qing was worried that Zhuang Yan would make another rash move, so he immediately shouted loudly, and stepped forward to block Zhuang You behind him. Zhuang You looked at Zhuang Yan's eyes with a puzzled look, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, but he also had a hint of luck in his heart.
"Xiaoyou, don't hold a grudge against Zhuang Yan. His father and mother and all the people in the village died. He escaped with me at the risk of death. ”
Zhuang You couldn't help but exclaim, and he guessed in his heart that the source of the matter was related to him. He looked at Zhuang Yan apologetically, and was about to say something, but Zhou Qing stretched out his hand to stop him. He listened attentively to the movements around him, and after making sure that there was a sound of breaking wind heading here, he decisively took Zhuang You and Zhuang Yan back to their temporary place of stay. This place is located in the cliff of Perak Dingzi, and it is a place of refuge with holes in caves. Zhou Qing and Zhuang Yan named this place Shuangdong tile.
In fact, this cave has existed since ancient times. Its original name was Yinyang Cave, and the temperature inside the cave would change with the sun. When the sun rises, the inner hole warms up. If it is night, the outer cave is not only not as cold as the outside of the cave, but the temperature is as pleasant as the inner cave during the day. When he first discovered the mystery of this place, Zhou Qing had explored, but he didn't find the internal cause.
"Grandpa Zhou, Xiaoyou is sorry for you and Brother Zhuang Yan, it was I who dragged you down. ”
Entering the cave, Zhuang You knelt in front of Zhou Qing with a plop. Zhou Qing dared to bear his kneeling, and immediately stepped forward to pull him up from the ground. Different from his tolerance, Zhuang Yan snorted coldly, and then hid in the outer cave to relieve the depression and resentment in his heart. Zhou Qing turned his head sideways and sensed it in the direction where Zhuang Yan left, and made sure that he was still in the cave, and his nervous heart relaxed. Then, he cleared his throat and told all the scenes where Zhuang You was slaughtered by the Imperial Immortal Army and the patrol army after he left. Only then did Zhuang You know what kind of disaster the mountain fire he had unintentionally set on Wollongpo.
"Child, I know a little bit about you from the patriarch. This is the creation of man, and man cannot overcome the sky. You can stay with me from now on. Just now, Yan'er and I heard the sound of fighting, rushed over to take a look, and found that you were still alive. This can be regarded as providence. ”
......
"Grandpa Zhou, my father and mother were both forced to death by the Imperial Immortal Army and the Guardian Guard. Someday, I'm going to kill them without a piece of armor. ”
"Kid, you're now a wanted prisoner in the Empire. Surviving later is the most important thing. I heard that you escaped by moving the Immortal Talisman, why did you come back on your own?"
"Grandpa Zhou, I'm ......" Zhuang You was about to tell Zhou Qing about the before and after of his escape, but was stopped by the Mixed Yuan Dragon Ji Jing in time.
"Little one, don't tell anyone about your entry into the Hongmeng Cave from now on. ”
Mixed Yuan Long always felt that something made him unsteady. He felt that Zhou Qing's appearance seemed to be too coincidental, as if a pair of eyes were watching everything in the dark, and they were behind the scenes.
"Grandpa Zhou, I, I want to go back to the village to see if I can find any relics of my father's mother. Isn't there still an ancestor in the clan who is guarding the gods? He can't even ask the emperor to leave the clansman's life?"
Zhou Qing smiled speechlessly, speechless at Zhuang You's question, but he didn't know how to answer. He thinks that a child is a child, and his heart is still simple and straightforward.
"Zhuang You, you still have the face to mention the ancestor. It was because of you that he was demoted and chose to be a dead soldier of the empire. You are a broom star, and whoever gets involved with you will fall into blood mold for eight lifetimes. ”
Although what Zhuang Yan said was an objective fact, his words sounded a little bitter. Zhou Qing was worried that Zhuang You would not be able to bear it in his heart, so he started a fight with Zhuang Yan, so he put Zhuang Yan out of the cave and asked him to go out to fight a beast to roast and eat. Zhuang You didn't understand Zhou Qing's original intention, and wanted to get out of the hole for Zhuang Yan and find a hungry beast for the three of them. But before he could say anything, Zhuang Yan let out a cold snort into the cave, and then used his flying technique to descend the cliff.
"Child, I have observed you for a long time just now, and your Yuan Force cultivation should be at the beginning of this Yuan Realm, but the use of swordsmanship is a little worse. Didn't your dad teach you these things?"
Zhou Qing's inquiry made Zhuang You retract his gaze of envy for Zhuang Yan's control of Yuanli's flight. He truthfully stated the bottom limit of what he had learned, but he hid the matter of obtaining the Xuanhuang Divine Technique. These are, of course, the ideas of the Mixed Yuan Dragon. The Mixed Yuan Dragon is confident that he comes from his inner intuition.
"Today, the old man has nothing to give you, so I'll teach you the wind and thunder tricks of sword control and the rainbow transformation technique. ”
Hearing Zhou Qing say this, Zhuang You knelt on the ground very obediently and bowed to the teacher. When he raised his head again, Zhou Qing took out two pieces of jade from his storage belt and handed them over. He took the jade slip with joy in his eyes, and instilled Yuan Li into it according to what Zhou Qing said, and then two light clusters emitting colorful light drilled into his eyebrows.
This scene happened to be hit by Zhuang Yan, who returned from fighting the beast. In annoyance, he threw the two hares on the ground, turned around and ran out of the double hole. He couldn't imagine that he had been with Zhou Qing for so long, and he couldn't get his liking.
"Hmph, if you're so eccentric, don't blame me for being ungrateful. I've had enough of this kind of hiding. Zhuang You, you wait for me! I'll go and report to the ancestor and ask him to clean up you and Zhou Qing, the blind man. ”
When Zhuang Yan urged Yuan Li to travel quickly on the empty mountains, Zhuang You also completed the inheritance of the Wind Thunder Technique and the Rainbow Transformation Technique, and the two pieces of jade that had lost their energy suddenly turned into scorched powder.
"Disciple Zhuang You, thank you, master!"
When Zhuang You knelt on the ground with a happy face and bowed to Zhou Qingxing to thank him, a divine consciousness that he couldn't see scattered from the void. Naturally, this scene did not escape the capture of the Mixed Yuan Dragon Divine Sense. But he didn't intend to tell everything he found, but was full of vigilance, he was worried that Zhou Qing, who had regained his original consciousness, would be detrimental to Zhuang You.
