Chapter 3: Yunmeng Immortals
Ling Huayin looked at the demon that rushed towards her in annoyance, and had no choice but to use the last killer move, and yelled into the air: "Eluo, I can think about the matter of demon bondage again, help me drive them away first." But now that the mana is only thirty percent, she can only ask for help, and Ling Huayin can't care about it.
I saw a purple light suddenly emit from Ling Huayin's chest, and as soon as those demons touched that light, they turned into ashes. Ji Rumeng thought that Ling Huayin was carrying some powerful magic weapon, so she angrily threw Ling Huayin against a tree next to her, and Ling Huayin lost consciousness in an instant. When she woke up, Ling Huayin found herself in a hole, her hands and feet were tied to the trunk of a tree with rattan by Ji Rumeng, and Ji Rumeng was sitting on the stump on the side of the tree and dangling her legs leisurely, still humming a song in her mouth.
"Sister wake up, is there anything uncomfortable?" Ji Ru dreamed that Ling Huayin was staring at her, and immediately jumped off the stump, jumped in front of Ling Huayin, tilted her head and asked with a smile, as if she was entertaining guests.
Ling Huayin pursed her lips, looking humiliated.
Ji Rumeng looked at Ling Huayin with a smile, looking innocent, and said, "Sister, don't look at me like this, it's like a dream to hurt my sister." Originally, my sister was my honored guest, Rumeng shouldn't have tied my sister like this, but my sister is a member of a famous fairy family, if I am not careful, I will be caught again, then I will die. Moreover, the Venerable Lord has always told me to be careful, saying that the bone penetrating nails of your Emperor Mountain are very powerful, and I can't be careless for a while!"
Ling Huayin's mind moved, and she asked, "Will your big demon still recognize the lord? Who is the lord of your family? Didn't he let you arrest me?"
Ji Rumeng put her finger to her mouth and said mysteriously: "I can't tell you." After that, he looked at her back and forth in front of Ling Huayin, his bright and innocent eyes turned around, and said: "It seems that the rumors are true, there is a disciple in Dongling Mountain who is born with the blessing of divine blood, and can bring the divine tree back to life, presumably that person is you, right?"
Ling Huayin stared at her without speaking, and Ji Rumeng continued to herself: "That divine tree has been the same for thousands of years, and it finally grew a divine fruit, but the ignorant scholars of Dongling Mountain didn't know that it was your credit, and they thought that it was rewarded to them by heaven!
"It doesn't seem to have much to do with you. Ling Huayin said coldly. These past events are the thorns buried deep in Ling Huayin's heart, and she has never mentioned it to anyone, if it weren't for the fact that she was taken advantage of by the demon this time, how could she remember the past again.
"Hehe, of course it has nothing to do with me, I just want to know more about my sister! After all, after my sister dies, I still have to borrow my sister's body to use it! If my sister hates those Taoist priests, I can help my sister take revenge!" Ji Rumeng blinked, and her lively and cute appearance was a girl who was not deeply involved in the world.
"Don't bother. But I advise you not to mess with my body, otherwise aren't you afraid that the divine blood will make you go up in smoke?" Ling Huayin said lightly.
Ji Rumeng smiled lowly, as if she didn't care about Ling Huayin's warning, and pouted "Hmm", "Thank you sister for thinking about me, but my sister's heart is very useful, I still have ......to accept it" As she spoke, she stretched out a vine from her arm and pointed it directly at Ling Huayin's heart......
Ling Huayin only heard a loud "Zheng" sound in her ears, I don't know who was playing the piano nearby, and the vines on her body broke with the sound of "click", Ling Huayin immediately grabbed the sword beside her, cut her fingers with a sharp blade, pulled a sword flower, and quickly recited a string of spells in her mouth, and the splattered blood beads condensed into spiritual power around Ji Rumeng to enchant a circle, quickly shrinking, and finally turned into three rotating gold chains, trapping Ji Rumeng firmly in place. As the tone of the piano outside the cave gradually increased, Ji Rumeng's face showed a painful look, and the sound of the piano seemed to carry a strange spiritual power, attached to Ling Huayin's enchantment, the more Ji Rumeng struggled to escape, the tighter his body was bound, and then the sound of the piano suddenly accelerated, and Ji Rumeng's eardrums were almost shattered by spiritual power.
Ling Huayin quickly took out the white demon bottle on her body, wanting to take this opportunity to ambush Ji Rumeng, and at this time, Ji Rumeng suddenly shouted: "Lord save me!"
Ling Huayin was distracted for a while, and saw that the enchantment around Ji Rumeng was instantly torn open, and a cloud of black smoke passed, and Ji Rumeng turned into a cloud of green smoke and disappeared.
When Ling Huayin chased out according to the sound of the piano, she saw that the woods were lush with greenery, silent as usual, and under the sparse sunlight, a man in white stood proudly holding a piano, with a leisurely and elegant posture, his long black and neat hair was tied with a white headband, and the hem of his clothes embroidered with ink-colored moire patterns fluttered in the wind, which was extremely holy, like a fairy in a painting descending to the mortal world. Hearing Ling Huayin's footsteps, this person turned around, and it turned out to be a young man with warm eyebrows and eyes like water. Seeing the stranger, the young man tilted his head slightly with a little curiosity, as if he was looking at Ling Huayin, and smiled before speaking, which was already better than thousands of graces.
Ling Huayin looked at the piano in his hand, hesitated slightly, and then raised her head and asked softly, "What is the song you just played?"
The immortal was slightly puzzled for a moment, and then replied calmly: "Demon suppression song, the girl also knows this song?"
Ling Huayin shook her head, "I don't know, but I have a faint sense of familiarity." Thank you for your rescue, I am a member of the Xianze Palace of the Emperor Mountain, and I strayed into the hands of the Locust Tree Demon when I was chasing the Demon today. I don't know what your name is, but I will repay you in the future. With Ji Rumeng's experience, Ling Huayin is much more cautious.
The young man smiled and said, "Why do you need to thank you for your efforts." My name is Situ Yan, I am a scattered immortal, and I now live in Yunmengtai in the Great Wilderness Mountain. Just now I passed by here, and saw that the demonic energy here is very heavy, quite strange, and I wanted to explore the source of the demonic energy, but accidentally let the demon escape. ”
Ling Huayin said lightly: "That locust tree demon has practiced for thousands of years, and besides, she already has many advantages in the woods, and she seems to have a helper behind her, so we will inevitably suffer." ”
"Since the Demon Emperor hid thousands of years ago, demons have rarely appeared in the human world, but just now I noticed that the demonic energy seemed to emanate from that demon's body, and I don't know if she was carrying any demon things. I have been returning from traveling for the past few days, and I have heard on the way that the nearby villages are not very peaceful, and many nightmare demons come out to forage for food during the day, and the residents are either sleepy during the day, or they are not mentally exhausted and have no intention of working, I am afraid that it has a lot to do with the appearance of this locust tree demon. ”
Ling Huayin couldn't help but be surprised: "I can't leave the Great Wilderness Mountain for some reason, I don't know that there is such a thing outside?
Situ Yan nodded and proposed, "Of course you can, but it's inconvenient to talk here, the Yunmengtai where I live is nearby, is the girl willing to move and talk in detail?"
"Well, that's fine. Ling Huayin nodded in agreement.
Situ Yan led Ling Huayin to a place full of mountain flowers, and his eyes suddenly opened up, as if he had unfolded a picture scroll, only to see the stream murmuring and the mist surrounding, like a fairyland on earth. Ling Huayin has lived in the Great Wilderness Mountain for a hundred years, but rarely walks out of Rizhao Peak, and she doesn't know that there is such a beautiful place at the foot of this mountain.
"This is really a good place for self-cultivation, which is really comparable to the Qinghui platform that the master once talked to me. Ling Huayin enjoyed the scenery all the way and couldn't help but sigh.
Situ Yan suddenly turned around and said with a little surprise: "Lingshi has also been to Qinghuitai?"
"The master once lived in Qinghuitai for a while. Ling Huayin replied.
Situ Yan smiled, "Could it be that Master Ling is the former head of Xianze Palace, Hengwei Zhenren?"
"Immortals know my master?"
Situ Yan smiled and said: "Qinghui Tai was originally my place of cultivation, and Hengwei Zhenren settled there when he was traveling. I once heard that Hengwei received a female disciple under the throne, who was talented and intelligent, and her swordsmanship was all refined, and her surname Linghua was a single name. Later, Hengwei Immortal died, and this disciple became the sword elder of Xianze Palace. Today, I finally got to see it. ”
Ling Huayin curled her fingers around the tip of her hair, half reminiscing and half sighing: "I didn't expect the master to mention me to others before, but it's a pity that I can no longer repay the master......"
"The old man is gone, and the living should cherish the present, and the girl must not be sad. Situ Yan comforted gently.
Ling Huayin nodded, "Yes, those who are alive can only cherish the present." Then he went on walking.
"Miss Linghua, let's go this way, it's almost there. Situ Yan gently reminded Ling Huayin to pay attention to her feet, and walked slowly in front to lead the way.
Ling Huayin lowered her head and stepped on the lotus leaf floating platform on the water, followed Situ Yan to the pavilion in the middle of the water, and saw that the surroundings were shrouded in a mist and light smoke, like an island in the water, isolating the outside world.
"I only have coarse tea here, so I have to snub the girl. Situ Yan apologized slightly.
Only then did Ling Huayin notice that the tea set had been set up on the stone table, and the tea was still steaming, and she didn't know when Situ Yan prepared it, as if she had known that a guest was coming. Ling Huayin was a little wary, did not drink the tea poured by Situ Yan, and asked, "Does the immortal live here alone?"
Situ Yan smiled slightly, not minding Ling Huayin's sudden alienation, and replied, "I'm the only one here...... But there is still a ......" said and grabbed it in the air, only to see a pink ball being grabbed by Situ Yan in his hand, Situ Yan laughed happily, "I don't know what this thing is?"
I saw that the pink furball suddenly fluttered twice, and two paws and two legs stretched out from the fluff, revealing two black round eyes, staring at Ling Huayin motionlessly. Ling Huayin was stunned for a moment, and her eyes met the furball without blinking. Situ Yan found it quite interesting, and said with a smile: "This little thing has been here for a long time, eating and drinking for nothing, one day I told it, you can't always eat and drink my don't work, it seems to understand people's words, and then it often helps me make tea and clean the room...... No, this pot of tea is what it just saw me prepare!"
Seeing that Ling Huayin looked surprised and didn't speak, Situ Yan thought she was frightened, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Linghua, did it scare you?"
Ling Huayin reacted at this time, looked at Mao Tuan intently and sighed: "No, no, it's just that I've never seen such a ...... Creature. ”
Situ Yan smiled and let go of the hair ball, and the hair ball jumped into Ling Huayin's arms, Ling Huayin was a little overwhelmed with joy, and tentatively rubbed its bulging body, and the hair ball lay down comfortably, looking very enjoyable.
"This ......" Ling Huayin couldn't help but move her lips, her eyes full of surprise and pity.
"It seems that this little thing is very pleasing to Miss Linghua!" Situ Yan took a sip of tea and looked at Linghuayin with interest, his eyebrows and eyes crooked and his smile was relaxed.
Ling Huayin suddenly sat up straight, put away her expression and said seriously: "Cough, let's get down to business, what's going on outside now?"
Seeing that Ling Huayin became serious, Situ Yan also took away his smile, put down the tea in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said with a slight frown: "I have also been investigating in the past few days, and I heard that the Immortal Family Sect is chasing and killing a thousand-year-old demon who has escaped recently, which should be the locust tree demon that attacked the girl today. As for the nightmare demons during the day, I am afraid it is related to the sudden increase in demonic energy recently, so that those nightmare demons have shelter, and Xianze Palace has also sent many disciples down the mountain to eliminate demons, but in the end, the manpower is meager. ”
"Xianze Palace is already sparsely populated, and the demons come and go without a trace, if it weren't for the hunting process, even I would be difficult to detect, not to mention some disciples of Xianze Palace who are not deeply involved in the world. I'm a little worried that the nightmare will run wilder. Ling Huayin was faintly worried.
"As far as I know, the Demon has always liked the new and hated the old, and it won't stay on one person for too long, and the Immortal Family has enough time to find a way to deal with it. I think the most urgent thing right now is to find the Locust Dryad, who may be the one who started it. Situ Yan proposed.
Ling Huayin thought slightly, and Fang proposed: "I have an old person who can be called a friend, she may be able to help a little, but my mana is limited now, and it is inconvenient to go out, can the immortal help me bring a token to Xianze Palace and hand it over to the Tianji Elder of this sect?" ”
"Now that Miss Linghua has an idea, I will not refuse. And I was originally investigating this matter, so if there is a helper, it will be good. ”
Ling Huayin hurriedly took out a blue brooch from her body and said, "Then thank you." ”
