Chapter Seventy-Eight: Gambling
Qizi Lake is a naturally formed lake, the surface of the lake ripples all year round, quiet and elegant, because there are no big fish in the lake, even if the wind is strong here, it can't blow waves, so Qizi Lake has always been very calm, like a quiet and elegant little girl.
And there is a legend about Qizi Lake. It is said that once upon a time, this lake was inhabited by a vicious youkai who often stirred up the surface of the lake, flooded the nearby villages, and caused misery to the people, but could not get out of the barrier arranged by the monsters.
And in one of the villages, there was a girl named Qizi, who was a quiet and elegant girl. She is different from the others, she believes that the reason why youkai do evil is because people don't understand it and misinterpret it, and youkai deliberately do evil in order to prove their existence.
In order to confirm that what he said was right, Qizi went to meet the demon beast alone.
Three days later, Qi's body was found in the lake.
But since then, no yokai have been seen, and the lake has regained its tranquility. The villagers believed that Qizi had influenced the demon beasts with her pure soul, so since then, the lake has been named Qizi Lake.
However, legends are just legends after all.
The town where Lin Luotian and Qin Qingxue are located is called Xinlong, and not far from Xinlong Town is Fanglong Town, and the two towns are built around Qizi Lake. Lin Luotian and Qin Qingxue followed the mayor to the town next door early in the morning, and as soon as they entered the town, the two of them were surprised, this is a dead town, the streets are chaotic, the ground is full of paper money and messy goods, there is no trace of the breath of a living person, even birds rarely fly from the sky.
According to the mayor, the two towns of Xinlong and Fanglong have been in recession before, but ten years ago, I don't know if they were nourished by the aura of mountains and rivers, and the two towns gradually developed and lasted until three years ago. Three years ago, there was an incident in Fanglong Town, because everyone was a neighbor, this incident spread quickly, and the residents of the entire town knew about it.
There is a family surnamed Li, who is also a well-known figure in Fanglong Town, and his wife Tang has brought a green hat to Li because of suspicion. And under the investigation of the mayor of the town, it was found that there was another hidden secret, ** was not the wife, but the husband, and the wife was framed by the husband. But the mayor of the town accepted the benefits of the Li family, sentenced the Tang family, and dipped it in a pig cage. The whole town knew about his wife's cheating, and they all spoke ill of Tang's and collectively visited Tang's execution. In this way, Tang died unjustly, and no one washed away her grievances and gave her justice.
But a year after Tang's death, the people of Fanglong Town discovered a strange thing, anyone who went to Qizi Lake either died violently there, or went home unconscious and died slowly.
At first, some people said that it was the plague, but then at night there was a cold wind blowing on the streets, and there were women's voices, and finally some people said that it was a ghost, and then some people guessed that it was a ghost asking for his life, and the so-called ghost was Tang. More and more people died, and the mayor of the town invited a mage, but even invited a dozen of them, and even a few of them had real skills, but they all died inexplicably. Now the people in the town panicked, and most of them wanted to move out. But by the time they had the idea, it was a year later, and at this point, they couldn't come up with it. The entire town was trapped in the mist of illusion, and although that level of illusion was weak at the time, it was more than enough to trap mortals. The fog trapped the town for three months, and when three months later, the fog disappeared and there was not a single living person left in the town!
And a few months ago, the fog shrouded Xinlong, and the panic lurked here, if it wasn't for Lin Luotian and Qin Qingxue just in time, maybe Xinlong would have become a dead town at this moment.
After listening to the mayor's account, the two knew that this was her revenge, and she said that she had killed him, his whole family, and everyone, and everyone had to die...... It is also true that she completed her revenge, but did not vent her hatred...... However, the only question is how she changed from a female ghost to a demon beast.
"The person you're talking about is so familiar. Just as the three of them were walking down the deadly street, a voice suddenly sounded.
In front of the street, a woman in red appeared, the red clothes were as fierce as fire, she walked over, looking forward to her life, which made Lin Luotiandi's heart tremble violently.
"Ah, I think about it. The woman in red bit her fingers, looking very mischievous, and suddenly she clapped her palms, stomped her feet, and exclaimed happily, "Ah, isn't that what you have been talking about? Hey, what's my name?"
"Oh, remember, my name is ......" The woman in red suddenly appeared behind Lin Luotian, leaning forward with her delicate body, her red lips pressed against Lin Luotian's ears, and she exhaled like an orchid: "My name is Duan Hongxue." ”
Lin Luo jumped forward with a shocked expression, and at the same time, Qin Qingxue's blood really gushed out, heading towards the woman in red, and at the same time, the ice and snow carried the intention of the heart, roaring out.
"One law...... The woman in red stretched out her fingers like green onions, and her red lips opened lightly, "Broken!" The crystal like snow fingers pointed at the ice and snow, and the ice and snow suddenly rolled back, and at the same time, a huge repulsive force burst out from the fingertips of the woman in red, forming a circle of black waves, dispersing the blood truth that came from the sky.
"Little sister, it's not right to sneak attack!" The woman in red retreated like a fly, the red clothes on her body turned into a dripping blood, and she also changed her appearance at the moment, although it was not a country and a city, but it could be regarded as a sinking fish and a goose.
Qin Qingxue snorted, smashing her attack with one blow, this female ghost was not seen overnight, and the aura at this moment was actually comparable to the peak of the early stage of foundation building, only a trace of it was the middle stage of foundation building, and at that time, Qin Qingxue did not have the slightest certainty.
Lin Luotian gave the mayor a color, and the mayor understood and hid far away.
"It's not right for you to be like someone else. Lin Luotian worked hard to adjust his breathing so that his blood qi and true yuan were at their peak, he knew that although he couldn't stop the power of other people's fingers, he could also use blood fingers and immortal transformation techniques to interfere with her.
The woman in red tilted her head, thought about it carefully, and then asked very seriously, "Then who do you want me to become...... Otherwise, I will become her, and you will argue which of us is true and who is false...... Well, this one is fun. After the woman in red finished speaking, she blew a breath, the black wind was howling, the sand and dust were flying, and when the black wind dispersed, the two Qin Qingxue stood around the forest.
Lin Luotian was stunned at first, but she didn't expect her to really do this, smiled coldly, and said to Qin Qingxue on the right: "Although you haven't completely transformed into a heavenly demon, you have also comprehended a trace of heaven and earth**, although your breath is no different from Qingxue, but you can't pretend to her?"
"Why?" Qin Qingxue on the right looked surprised and turned into a woman in red.
"Because your eyes are different from hers. ”
The woman in red stared at Lin Luotian with a burning gaze, suddenly burst into a smile, covered her mouth and smiled: "I can hear your heartbeat clearly, you didn't think like that just now." ”
Lin Luotian remembered the last scene he saw in the dream of seven emotions and six desires, Duan Hongxue was dressed in red and died in his arms, and his eyes became cold: "You don't deserve to be her." ”
The eyes of the woman in red also became gloomy, and the momentum of her whole body continued to rise, and the red mist outside her body rolled.
"You died unjustly, we sympathize with you, you killed them with revenge, we can understand, you killed all the people in the town, yes, they didn't have pity on you, you should hate them, but you shouldn't slaughter the whole town. What's more, the residents of Xinlong Town have no hatred for you at all, and you still want to kill them, don't you think it's too much, why should we sympathize with you again?"
The woman in red sneered again and again, and mocked, "What do you know? Don't you want to know how a female ghost of mine became a demon beast...... Since you don't know, why do you say that about me? ”
"I don't want to know now, the demon beast and you coexist independently, the demon beast devours the flesh and blood of life, and you devour the soul...... Actually, none of that matters. I know that you have walked on the path of the Heavenly Demon, it is impossible for you to come back, once you become a Heavenly Demon, the entire cultivation realm will definitely suffer. ”
Tang Yingying, the woman in red, looked indifferent: "What is the matter with you that the entire cultivation realm has suffered? You are just a martial artist, and by the time the cultivation realm is destroyed, you will already be dead." ”
"I'm a warrior. Lin Luotian said lightly, "But I know cause and effect, you were released by me, and I will kill you." ”
"Hahaha. Tang Yingying stroked her stomach and laughed, "Do you know cause and effect? You are a martial artist who actually talks about cause and effect, it's so funny, I have been at the bottom of Qizi Lake for three years, and I have never heard such a funny joke...... Uh, my stomach hurts with laughter. ”
"Is it funny?"
"Of course it's funny, the martial artist has a lifespan of only two hundred, and he is also worthy of talking about cause and effect?
Lin Luotian was silent, once she became a heavenly demon, at least she was at the level above the god transformation level, and the god was the realm of Gu Wu, which was impossible to reach.
"Okay, how about we make a bet?" Tang Yingying's body changed for a while, and from the bloody clothes, another self and the other her, her breath was only five layers of qi refining. One law, ten thousand laws, every thought can form a doppelganger, this is heaven and earth**.
"Bet on what?"
Tang Yingying smiled, smiling like a flower: "If I defeat you, you have to go with me." If you can overcome this doppelganger of mine, I will do whatever you want me to do. ”
Lin Luotian closed his eyes and thought about it, he can now cast the Cold Moon Technique, the Burning Sun Technique, and barely be able to use the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong, but these few have no effect on the half-step Heavenly Demon. The only ones that can be used are the Blood Finger and the Immortal Transformation Technique...... Of course, he also has a killer weapon, when his blood qi and true yuan drop to a certain level, he can use the tidal flow to live and die, fuse blood qi and true yuan, turn into blood essence, and perform an innate blow.
"Okay, I'll bet with you!" Lin Luotian opened his eyes, his eyes were calm, without a trace of panic and fear.
"That's good...... I'm going to do it. "The two Tang Yingying attacked Qin Qingxue and Lin Luotian respectively.
Tang Yingying walked towards Lin Luotian step by step, she is now a half-step heavenly demon, and she has comprehended a trace of heaven and earth**, even if she doesn't have to do it deliberately, walking also contains spells, and raising her hand and waving her sleeves is a magical power.
Tang Yingying's steps stepped on Lin Luotian's heartbeat, making Lin Luotian's heart unconsciously follow the pace, if it was someone else, I am afraid that his heart would have been broken at this moment. But Lin Luotian comprehended the tidal current, regulating the blood through breathing, thereby mobilizing the heartbeat, so the technique of disturbing Lin Luotian's heartbeat was useless to him at all!
