Volume 3 Chapter 36 The Circle, the Sound of the Piano, and the Woman
(Today's third watch, third watch)
It is far easier to disperse the demon beasts than to kill them. Although there are two pieces of "dragon scales" in his body, the aquatic life does not dare to run to the group of beasts at will to show off, in case any demon beast is not afraid of the coercion emanating from the "dragon scales", it is not fun to pounce on it and bite itself.
Equally frightened, there was also the monk in the cyan flying boat, from the sudden sneak attack of the aquatic life, to the escape of the old monster of Chixue, and then to the escape of the demon beasts, it was less than a quarter of an hour.
And this piercing whistling sound made his blood boil and it was extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, this howl came from the mouth of the Red Snow Old Monster's opponent, and the flying boat did not speed up and escape.
Seeing that the cyan flying boat turned around and flew from a distance, Shui Sheng unhurriedly took out two middle-grade spirit stones from the storage bag, held them in his hands, and cast a spell to absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stones.
The flying boat stopped not far in front of the aquatic life, and a middle-aged monk in a red robe with a fierce face jumped out of the boat first, and behind the monk, followed by a white-robed man dressed as a Confucian student, in his early thirties, with an ordinary appearance.
The two of them came together with the disciples of the Yuding Sect on the Huoyun Flying Boat, and naturally recognized Shui Sheng as a disciple of the Qi Training Period of the Jade Ding Sect who had been following Shen Gongnan's side, and saw that the Shui Sheng miraculously fell from the sky, killing the Chixue old monster and fleeing, and only frightened away a group of demon beasts with a roar, and couldn't help but be in awe.
The monk folded his hands, bowed down, pronounced a Buddha name, and said: "Little monk Long Tan thanks his predecessors for saving his life." ”
On that day, when Shui Sheng accompanied Shen Gongnan to watch the battle, he once used the flute to drive back the mountain beasts, and Long Tan also paid special attention to Shui Sheng, but he couldn't see through the depth of Shui Sheng's mana, thinking that Shui Sheng was Shen Gongnan's proud protégé. Now, it seems, is not the case at all. Naturally, he regarded the aquatic life as the hidden back hand of the Yuding Gate. Thought that Shui Sheng was a hidden infant monk.
"The younger Xu Ziheng has seen the seniors. Thank you seniors for saving your life. The white-robed Confucian student followed behind the monk and respectfully bowed to the water student.
Since the two of them mistakenly thought that Shui Sheng was a Yuan Infant Stage Cultivator, Shui Sheng didn't bother to explain anything, waved his hand, and said, "Two Daoist friends don't need to be polite, let me ask you, how many Frozen Valley Monks are in this area, and where is my Jade Ding Sect disciple now?"
After some conversation, Shui Sheng learned. The twenty-eight Jindan period monks who entered the palace from the word "cow" were divided into three teams after entering, one team of disciples of the Yuding Sect, one team of disciples of the Prajna Temple, and the remaining twelve monks of small and medium-sized sects and scattered cultivators formed a team on their own.
At the beginning, everyone put their minds on killing demons and taking pills, and the disciples of Pranya Temple were in southern Xinjiang and were good at hunting demon beasts, so they were at the forefront. Twelve scattered cultivators walked in the middle, the disciples of the Yuding Sect walked on the Zuihou side, and the distance between the three groups of monks was twenty or thirty miles.
There was no obstacle along the way, and the small number of middle-level demon beasts were slaughtered by everyone. As time passed, the three teams of monks, who saw that there was no threat, became more and more separated, and the distance became larger and wider. Unexpectedly, the Red Snow Old Monster gathered hundreds of mid-level demon beasts in a canyon. Seeing the arrival of the disciples of the Prajna Temple, he drove the demon beast to suddenly kill.
One was caught off guard. Second, the old monster Chixue had profound mana, and three of the eight disciples of the Prajna Temple were killed on the spot, and Long Tan and the other four fellow disciples fled for their lives.
Fortunately, the twelve monks who walked in the middle saw that the demon beasts were not in groups along the way, and the danger was not great, so they divided themselves into two groups, so as to get more demon pills and elixirs, and they were so frightened that they scattered and fled, so they were not caught in a net, and more than a dozen Jindan monks fled in all directions, and they were all monks in the middle and late stages of Jindan, and it was not so easy for the Chixue old monsters to chase and kill one by one.
In the panic, Xu Ziheng and Long Tan went in the wrong direction, and did not flee to the exit of the palace, but fled in the direction of the underground palace, and were later chased and killed by the old monster Chixue all the way.
If it weren't for Xu Ziheng having this ancestral "Qingyun Boat" flying magic weapon, the two of them would also be in danger of losing their lives. Although the speed of this flying magic weapon is fast, it consumes quite mana to urge, but fortunately, Monk Long Tan, as the head disciple of the Praruo Temple, has deep mana, and with many spirit stones needed to seal the underground palace, the two of them fled all the way here, until they met the aquatic life.
As for the life and death of the disciples of the Jade Ding Sect, the two of them were not clear, whether there was only the Chixue Old Monster, a Yuanying cultivator, in the area here, and the two of them were also unclear.
It seems that if you want to know the life and death of the disciples of the Jade Ding Sect, Shui Sheng has to continue to move forward.
Although the old monster of Chixue has lost one foot, with the supernatural powers of the Yuanying monk, it seems that it is also possible, if he understands that he is only one person, he will definitely come back to seek revenge, and if there is another Yuanying monk of the Frozen Valley in this area, the old monster of Chixue will definitely notify the other party to help him seek revenge together.
In the hands of the Chixue old monster, Shui Sheng may still have a chance to escape, and another Yuanying monk, under the cooperation of the two, if he is discovered, I am afraid that his life will be lost.
Shui Sheng secretly regretted that he shouldn't have scared the Chixue old monster away, and he should have taken advantage of his unpreparedness to sacrifice spirit beasts and spirit runes to hit the Chixue old monster hard, so that he would be safe now.
Long Tan and Xu Ziheng are only monks in the late stage of Jindan, in front of Yuanying Monk, they can't help at all, maybe they will pull their hind legs, thinking of this, Shui Sheng frowned slightly, and said to the two: "The prohibition in the underground palace has not been damaged, and there are no demon beasts in and out of the 'Seven Absolute Demon Tower', and the demon beasts here have all been driven in by the monks of the Frozen Valley from outside the Cracked Sky Mountain." Therefore, the safest place in the Rift Sky Mountain right now is the dungeon and the 'Seven Absolute Demon Tower'. ”
"What do the seniors mean to ask the juniors to hide in the underground palace?" Xu Ziheng said uncertainly.
"Yes, go forward for two or three hundred miles, it is the dungeon, if you two want to live, now find a way to enter the dungeon by yourself, the dungeon is strong, the old monster of Chixue is only afraid that he will not be able to enter, even if he can enter, he will have to suppress his mana to the Jindan realm, and at that time, you two don't have to be afraid of him at all." Of course, for the sake of safety, you can do something in the dungeon, and maybe I will return to the dungeon to find you. Now, I'm going to go to the front to find a disciple of the Jade Ding Sect, and I'm missing. ”
After that, he sacrificed the Lingyun Shuttle and flew up.
Seeing Shui Sheng driving the shuttle away, Long Tan and Xu Ziheng looked at each other.
After careful deliberation, it seems that only the path pointed out by the aquatic life has a glimmer of life. At a distance of two or three hundred miles, although there are many middle-level demon beasts around, with the strength of the two of them, there is no problem at all in escaping their lives.
Shui Sheng determined the direction of leaving the palace, and while taking out a high-grade spirit stone to restore his mana, he let go of his divine sense and probed around, and when it came to such a dangerous moment, he naturally would not spare the spirit stone.
It took more than an hour, walked out of more than four hundred miles, and the aquatic still found nothing, not only was there no trace of the old monster of Chixue, but even the body of a loose cultivator was not found, along the way, except for the demon beast, it was the demon beast, it seems that these Jindan monks who were killed by the old monster of Chixue had already been wrapped in the belly of the beast.
After another half an hour, I vaguely heard a burst of intermittent piano sound in front of me, and I listened to the sound as if it was dozens of miles away.
Shui Sheng's heart moved, slowed down, and followed the direction of the piano sound.
After walking more than ten miles, the divine sense finally locked on the location of the qinyin. A group of middle-level demon beasts, as many as three or four hundred, surrounded a mountain col surrounded by mountains on three sides and had a dangerous terrain. Among them, there were more than twenty fifth-level demon beasts.
It seems that this sound must have been made by the monk of the Frozen Valley, and the person who was surrounded in the col was very likely to be a monk of the Jade Ding Sect.
The aquatic life groaned for a moment, put away the spirit cloud shuttle, and fell on the ground, his body jumped vertically and vertically like an ape, and ran forward, although it was much slower to move forward in this way than to control the shuttle, but it was also much safer, even if someone swept it from a distance with his divine sense, he would think that the aquatic was an ape-like beast, even if the person who played the piano was a primordial infant monk, at such a distance, I am afraid that he would not be able to detect the true mana of the aquatic life, and he would not pay attention to it.
Twenty miles away, Shui Sheng spent a full meal, looked left and right, found a secret place, looked carefully, reached out and took out a "hidden talisman" and slapped it on his body, and then with a mana urge, a dazzling white light burst out of his body, hiding out of thin air.
Seven or eight miles away, on a small stone mountain more than 200 zhang high, a young woman dressed in white like snow, sitting on a flat bluestone, on the jade table in front of her, there is a five-stringed piano carved from mutton fat white jade, the woman's long hair shawl, the back is wonderful, with the ten fingers beating on the strings, the sound of the piano slowly flows around, between the changes, unpredictable.
Every sound of the piano makes people's blood boil, and it is difficult to control themselves, if it weren't for the fact that the mana in the aquatic body is not inferior to that of the late Jindan monks, I am afraid that under the stimulation of the sound of the qin, they would have already pounced with the beasts to the col not far away.
The roar of the beast followed the sound of the piano one after another, and in the col surrounded by the beasts, in a thick white mist, golden pillars of light flashed from time to time, transforming into sharp swords in the air, hitting the rushing demon beasts.
The large array is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the only flat valley direction, the ground is full of corpses of demon beasts, and the thick smell of blood is far away for miles away, these demon beasts who died outside the large array turned out to be some demon beasts above the third level, there were hundreds of them.
It seems that according to the terrain, someone has set up a powerful defensive array in the mountain col, blocking the attacks of many demon beasts.
Shui Sheng stood quietly in that secret place for a full quarter of an hour, his divine sense turned into a filament, and swept past the woman in white several times, but he couldn't see through the depth of her mana.
The flute sound played by the string shadow flute can disperse, tempt, and kill middle and low-level demon beasts, but it can't make the demon beasts attack their opponents one after another like the sound played by the woman in white.
