Chapter 19: The Aftermath (Part II)
"It seems that the news of Daoyou is still quite psionic. ”
Cheng Ming glanced at the man in black deeply, he had specifically inquired about the affairs of the widow's mansion before, and he had never heard of this news, based on this, he believed that this person's identity should not be simple.
The man in black smiled, didn't say much about it, and said, "Big brother, I don't know if you agree to my proposal?"
"Disagree. Cheng Ming directly refused.
"Why" The man in black was a little puzzled, he said so, the advantages of their cooperation obviously outweighed the disadvantages, why did Cheng Ming still disagree
Cheng Ming said: "It's very simple, so far, don't say your name, I don't even know what you look like, how can you let me rest assured to be with you"
The man in black scratched his head: "There's a reason why I'm dressed like this, or let's make a demon oath."
Cheng Ming thought about it and felt that the enemy was powerful, and the situation inside the relict mansion was not very clear, so it was not impossible to get together. But on second thought, he changed his mind again.
"I'm sorry for this fellow Daoist, as the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, I don't want to be worried about my own back when I encounter treasures. Of course, if there is a need in the future, I will also help as much as I can. ”
Seeing Cheng Ming say this, although the man in black regretted it in his heart, he was not easy to force, but he still reminded Cheng Ming that he had just found the location of the You family's horse, and then he offered to leave.
After separating from the man in black, Cheng Ming was worried about being discovered by those family members, so he became cautious in his actions, and his speed was much slower than before, but he moved dozens of miles. Except for some demon beasts, he didn't even see other scattered cultivators.
Slowly. He discovered a phenomenon, the further south. Whether it is the quality of the spiritual material or the elixir, the better, when he advanced fifty miles, he actually found a five-hundred-year-old Ming Heart Ginseng.
This ginseng has the effect of calming the mind, not only increasing the speed of cultivating the divine mind, but also can be used to treat madness. Like the five-hundred-year-old Mingxin ginseng, it can be used to refine the elixir used in the Jindan period. For the current Cheng Ming, it is completely priceless.
However, although things are good, Cheng Ming does not dare to act rashly. Because next to this Ming Heart Ginseng, there is a scorching sun black-eyed mink, the strength of this demon beast has reached the fourth order, and the speed is very fast, even if the foundation building monk encounters it, he will have a headache, which can he solve
Cheng Ming shook his head very regretfully, and could only retreat. He thought for a moment, there must be fourth-order or higher-strength demon beasts to the south, and it seemed that he had to change directions.
I thought that my previous location was northeast. He was going to look west, hoping to find some useful clues in addition to the spiritual materials.
After making up his mind, Cheng Ming fled to the west, not knowing if someone had already taken the lead or what. Along the way, he didn't even find a single elixir.
But when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong, because there was no trace of excavation on the ground. It's not necessarily that someone dug up the elixir and was kind enough to cover it up, even so. It is also impossible to leave no traces.
After nearly thirty miles, a lake appeared in front of Cheng Ming's eyes. I saw that the surface of the lake was all over the place, calm without a single wave, and it looked like a flawless sapphire. That quiet, that blue, so dazzling, so beautiful, so unbelievably beautiful, so beautiful as fake.
Looking at it, Cheng Ming suddenly shuddered, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had unconsciously walked hundreds of meters, and he was about to walk a few steps to the lake.
At this time, he didn't think that there was something wrong with this lake, and the lake in front of him was a huge monster at all, with its mouth wide open, waiting for him to take the bait.
So he hurriedly retreated to the back. At this time, he saw a dragonfly flying towards the lake not far away, and as soon as it flew into the range of the lake, it shot a water arrow from under the lake, and the dragonfly fell to the surface of the lake in response, and immediately sank without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Ming broke out in a cold sweat, because it reminded him of the plot described in the famous novel, "Eight hundred miles of quicksand, three thousand weak water depths, goose feathers can't float, and the reeds are set to sink to the bottom."
Even a dragonfly fell to the surface of the lake and disappeared in an instant, so what would happen if a person fell into the lake, coupled with the unknown creatures under the water, Cheng Ming shuddered when he thought about it.
Faced with such a danger, Cheng Ming had no idea of exploring, and hurriedly bypassed the lake and then headed west.
The further west he went, the more desolate the place became, and after more than ten miles, he suddenly noticed that the temperature had begun to drop, and after a few miles, the sky had begun to snow.
"When things go wrong, there must be demons"
Cheng Ming's spirits perked up, and he found that there was no danger in his thoughts, so he was ready to move forward.
But at this time, he suddenly felt a divine thought sweep over him. Immediately, within his mind, more than a dozen monks galloped towards his position from the northeast. In an instant, it appeared in his sight.
I saw that these people were all sitting on a huge flying boat, and the speed of the flying boat was very fast, although it was not as fast as the speed at which he could use his full strength to perform the escape technique, but it was not much different.
This flying boat is a magic weapon, which can be driven by spirit stones, the more advanced it is, the faster it will be, and the less energy it will lose.
As soon as he saw the other party's momentum, Cheng Ming knew that these people must be the children of the family that the man in black said, he secretly scolded "bad luck", and then turned around and fled.
When those family monks saw Cheng Ming fleeing, three of them flew out of the flying boat, and they stepped on the flying sword, and their speed was two points faster than Cheng Ming.
Cheng Ming saw the light flashing on their bodies, and knew that the three of them should have used the Wind Talisman, just as he was about to use it. Finding that the other party was all a cultivator of the eighth level of Qi cultivation, he rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of an idea, and fled to the southwest with the escape technique.
Since Cheng Ming didn't use the talisman, seeing the three monks chasing closer and closer, at this time, one of them spoke: "Senior Brother Feng, do you see if this person is the guy who made trouble in the teleportation array before?"
The person who asked looked at it fixedly: "I haven't seen the whole picture of that person with my own eyes, it looks like something like him, but whether he looks like it or not, this time the family ancestor's order is to kill all the scattered cultivators, so it doesn't matter at all." ”
The other two nodded, and when they were a mile away from Cheng Ming, one of them suddenly offered a small black flag, chanted in his mouth, shook it with one hand, and five or six silk threads shot out of the black flag, and immediately chased Cheng Ming's back.
When Cheng Ming smelled a fishy smell, he knew that these silk threads were highly poisonous and not easy to get along with. In this case, he didn't dare to sacrifice the flying sword, and directly threw out more than a dozen ordinary fire talismans, forming a wall of fire behind him.
After all, there are more than a dozen talismans, although the quality is ordinary, but the combined power is also not to be underestimated, just listen to the sizzling sound, those silk threads quickly dissolve, evaporate into gas and dissipate in the air.
But then, Cheng Ming was dizzy and stumbled, which suddenly surprised him, he was unknowingly poisoned, and hurriedly took an antidote pill.
A sarcastic smile appeared on the face of the monk who sacrificed the small flag: "It's really a pipe dream that you want to easily break my spell just because you, a low-level wild cultivator."
"Okay, let's do it quickly, there are still more than a dozen scattered cultivators in the relics to be solved. ”
As he spoke, he nodded to the other person, and then the three of them prepared to use their own means to solve Cheng Ming.
However, Cheng Ming suddenly did not retreat but advanced, at this time he had thirty more talismans in his hand, and used them on the three monks one by one, seeing that the thunder was like a storm, falling on the heads of the three monks.
The monk holding the small flag didn't react at all, and was struck by dozens of lightning bolts, and he couldn't survive.
The remaining two reacted relatively quickly, and the moment Cheng Ming used the talisman, they used the mortal talisman and spell one after another, and they were spared.
It's just that how could Cheng Ming have such a good opportunity to deflate, the two of them just began to rejoice, the flying sword arrived in front of them, and a few hurried flying rainbows flashed, and they saw the heads of the two with shocked expressions separated from their bodies one by one.
With a wave of Cheng Ming's sword, the flying sword fell into his storage bag with the storage bag of the three people and the small black flag. Then, he cast a wind charm on himself and fled.
The offensive launched by Cheng Ming just now was not only fierce but also completed in one go, but the time of two or three breaths was over. Seeing such a result, except for a young man wearing a white brocade robe and a small purple and gold crown on his head, everyone else on the flying boat showed expressions of disbelief.
Although the young man's face was expressionless, his face was much gloomer than before, and he said in a deep voice: "Chase"
Then, the flying boat began to exert its strength, and the speed was much faster than before, and it was already able to catch up with the current speed of Shang Chengming. Obviously, this speed was not enough to satisfy the boy, and he repeatedly urged the flying boat to go faster.
At this time, a monk in his thirties reminded: "Jingyi, we are a low-grade flying boat, now this speed is already the limit, no matter how fast it is, it will cause irreparable damage." ”
You Jingyi said with a deep expression: "Fifth brother, I know this, but we have to chase this person if we don't chase him, otherwise the ancestor will blame him, and you must know what the consequences are." But don't worry, if something goes wrong with the flying boat, I'll take care of it."
The monk was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he did it anyway. Immediately, the speed of the flying boat was two percent faster, and with a wave of qi around him, he chased in the direction of Cheng Ming's escape.
A moment later, a huge lake appeared in the field of vision of the cultivators, and Cheng Ming's figure was on the opposite side of the lake at this moment, as long as the flying boat crossed the lake, it would not be long before it could catch up with Cheng Ming. To be continued
