Chapter 11: A Few Pieces of Paper
Chapter 11 A Few Sheets of Paper
Li Zhichen stepped forward with his sword, and the castration was hurried. Du Cheng flicked the index finger of his right hand slightly, the long knife was suddenly pulled out, and he held it with his left hand, and when Li Zhichen stabbed with a sword, Du Cheng slashed with his backhand, and the sound of "Ding" was just blocked.
Li Zhichen's long sword reversed and rolled upside down. Du Cheng's face was still flat, holding the knife with his backhand, and he blocked it lightly every time.
Li Zhichen's swordsmanship moves became more and more ruthless, but Du Cheng's backhand knife was one step better. With a sound of "dang", Du Cheng's backhand knife smashed Li Zhichen's jade sword, and stabbed it again, Li Zhichen abandoned the sword and retreated, suddenly exhausted, and fell to his knees on the ground.
Du Cheng didn't rush to attack, and said with a slight smile: "The Yuan Force in your body is less than a moment, and your strength is exhausted, do you still want to have a chance to survive?"
Li Zhichen's face was pale, and the sweat droplets of soybeans were dripping, if he was in his heyday, it would be very difficult to separate life and death from Du Cheng, and now that his yuan power was exhausted, he was not an opponent.
Du Cheng slowly approached and said, "The last chance, enter my sect and drive for me for a thousand years." After a thousand years, it will help you achieve immortal paths and return you to freedom. At that time, the life span will be ten thousand years, and all the people will submit. ”
Li Zhichen sneered, looked up, and said, "If you want me to obey you, I'm afraid you have the heart to unify all the sects in the Central Plains." It's just that you think that a Northwest Gilded Palace can subdue all the sects?"
Du repented and said: "I only know that if you obey, I will get a powerful and wise general, and if you resist, I will get a demon emperor." ”
Li Zhichen fell silent, stood up suddenly, turned his back to the sun that had just risen from the mountain, and said: "Let me obey you, and I would rather die if I poison the world and harm all living beings." After saying that, the long sword rested on his neck and turned upside down to kill himself.
Du Cheng's face changed, if Li Zhichen was allowed to commit suicide on his own, I am afraid that he would choose to destroy his body and soul together. With a flash of his body, he grabbed it with his left hand, and before Li Zhichen could swing his long sword, he had already grabbed the jade sword, and blood splattered from his left hand. At this time, Li Zhichen suddenly made a move, his right hand formed a fist, and he hit Du Cheng in the chest. A dull "woo".
Li Zhichen tilted his body suddenly, and Xue Qingyun, who was rolling up the ground, went down the hall and jumped directly into the inner hall. Avoided the hundreds of warriors outside armed with killing arrows.
Du Cheng's face was blue and black, and it was not easy for Li Zhichen to be hit in the chest with all his might. He suddenly laughed in a deep voice: "What a Li Zhichen, you actually let me fall for the trick! Someone will enter the inner hall, and Li Zhichen will be searched out!" After speaking, his body fell into the inner hall.
The inner hall of the gilded hall is extremely vast, with four corridors, but I don't know where it leads. After Li Zhichen desperately struck a blow, the yuan power in his body was basically exhausted, and only his will was left to direct his body's actions. In the midst of the chaos, he entered a walkway, and he didn't know the direction.
Walking briskly on the aisle, the heart said: In this gilded palace, it is inevitable to be found, so you can only hide first, and only after recovering your Yuan Force can you fight with it.
The path is winding, and the walls are dimly lit. Walking and walking, but it has come to an end, and there is no road ahead. Li Zhichen sighed: "Fate is not good, no matter how you choose a road, it is a dead end." He hurriedly wanted to walk on his back, but when he took two steps back, he heard someone approaching in front of him.
Li Zhichen smiled bitterly twice and said, "That's it, let's die here together." "At this time, his Yuan Force is exhausted, exhausted, and even the warriors outside can easily kill him.
Leaning on the stone wall behind him, he suddenly felt empty, and the whole person leaned back. Li Zhichen was startled and hurriedly shook his body, but found that he had fallen into another place.
Li Zhichen looked over, and the place where he fell turned into a rock wall. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "It seems that I have fallen into the secret passage of the Gilded Palace!"
Looking ahead, a dark path ahead, with flowers and plants planted on all sides.
Li Zhichen carried Xue Qingyun on his back and probed her snort, which was faintly audible. walked to the front again, and after walking for a short distance, he saw a patina iron door, Li Zhichen concentrated his breath and pushed open the iron door.
At this time, a team of people reported to Du Cheng that there was no news of Li Zhichen. Du Cheng's face was gloomy, and he suddenly trembled violently, his face changed drastically, his body was longitudinal, and he rushed to one place.
Quickly running to a path in the inner sanctum, he came to the end, and Du Cheng looked at the end, his face cloudy. When I reached out and touched it, I touched a hard stone wall. Du Cheng said to himself: "The hall master is here to ask me to take care of this door, he has other uses for that thing, and he can't let the things inside leak." It's just that this stone wall ...... If you let Li Zhichen break in......"
Du Chenghu's palms were full of yuan force, and he slapped towards the stone wall, and there was a loud "bang", and there were three earthquakes, but the stone gate did not move at all.
It turns out that this stone door is cleverly designed, and it is impregnable, and the mechanism to enter is extremely strange. The lord of the gilded palace thought that he was safe, but he only verbally ordered him to repent, but did not tell him the important place.
At that moment, Li Zhichen pushed open the bronze door and entered, but it was a dark house. Li Zhichen stretched out his hand to reach out, but he touched a candle, and as soon as his hand froze, he lit the candle, and a little light illuminated the stone house.
The stone house has only a few furnishings, a wooden table, a chair, a wooden cabinet, and a wooden box. On the wooden table, there were a few candles, some paper, pen, ink, inkstone, and a box of rouge.
Li Zhichen didn't look closely, relieved Xue Qingyun, and meditated on the ground. The candle sparkled and burned out after a while. "Extinguished" in the candle tears.
Li Zhichen slowly woke up, and the Yuan Force in his body recovered a little, so he went to investigate Xue Qingyun's body. When Yuan Li slowly entered, Xue Qingyun sighed, woke up, confused in his eyes, and said, "En...... Benefactor, what's wrong?"
Li Zhichen slowly put away the Yuan Force in his hand, and said softly: "It's okay, you can sleep, it will be fine in a few days." Xue Qingyun was so weak that he took a breath when he said a word, and said, "Engong...... Am I going to die? Okay...... I'm so tired!" Li Zhichen didn't want to elaborate, and said, "No, you'll be fine." ”
Xue Qingyun sighed and said, "Engong, I'...... I know you're a nice guy...... I'm dying...... You...... Let's go......"
Li Zhichen's heart suddenly shook and said, "Don't say such things." ”
Xue Qingyun said: "Okay...... I listen to you...... I'm so scared...... I'm so scared......"
Li Zhichen looked at Xue Qingyun, only to see that her voice was getting lower and lower, and he was afraid that he would not be able to last a few days. He clenched her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!
Xue Qingyun said: "Engong...... I...... Can I call you brother?"
Li Zhichen said: "Yes! Yes, you are my sister!"
Xue Qingyun was in a coma and said, "Brother...... I ......" before I could finish speaking, I passed out again.
Li Zhichen was startled, and hurriedly investigated, only to calm down a little. Standing up again, he glanced around and saw that the few things on the table were normal. I opened the box again, and there were only three or four sheets of paper in it. Li Zhichen opened them one by one, saw half of them, his face suddenly sank, and when he saw the last one, Li Zhichen's left hand slapped the ground wall, and the ground wall also cracked one after another.
When he finished reading it, Li Zhichen sweated on his forehead and said, "Damn, it's ...... This gilded palace is such a big conspiracy! You have to hurry up and tell the master. After receiving a few pieces of paper into his clothes, Li Zhichen slowly calmed down, picked up Xue Qingyun, and carried it again.
Li Zhichen searched around, and said to himself: "This kind of thing can be stored here, and it is absolutely safe, but I don't know if there is an exit......
Suddenly, his eyes froze and he looked at the wooden cabinet next to him. I walked over, opened the wooden cabinet, and suddenly there was a light in front of me, and in front of me was an endless desert.
Li Zhichen was stunned for a moment, and said, "This should be the place where the Gilded Palace is the main place to practice!" and then thought about it: The Gilded Palace is located in the northwest of the mainland, and to the west of it is a desert, which is what the mainland calls the desert of the west, and above it, there is an endless sea, which is the end of the north on the continent. This side is supposed to be westerly, so it is a desert, almost devoid of vegetation, except for some drought-tolerant cacti.
Li Zhichen searched the house again, but found nothing more, so he walked out.
The desert is hot during the day and bitterly cold at night, and only some endurance plants and animals survive.
After Li Zhichen walked for an hour, the Yuan Force in his body recovered a little, and he thought: "The desert is vast and boundless, and it is difficult for Du Cheng to chase after him for a while. And there are several major forces in the Western Desert, among which the Gilded Palace is located in the northwest, and the western force is not small, but in the depths of the Western Desert, there is a hidden force, no one can detect the situation, only know that the force has a strong man, the strength is terrifying, and the marksmanship is superb. It is known as the Four Halls of Demon Venerable. And the end of the Western Desert is separated from the continent, called the Xihao Continent, and the Xihao Continent has a Fort of Forgotten Worries, and its strength is also extraordinary. ”
Li Zhichen walked slowly, and thought again: Xue Qingyun's life is on the front line, if he doesn't have the kind of heavenly and earthly treasures that are seen once in a thousand years and are refined into pills, they can't be cured. And the Cloud Dao Sect itself is not a Lian Dan sect, there may be this kind of medicinal material, but it is difficult to become a Dan. For now, I may have to go to Donglin Hezhou to find it.
Hezhou in the east is located overseas, and it is also a continent, with many sects, the strongest of which is Penglai Island. And Penglai Island's Dan practice is first-class. Its island owner, Dongli Tianji, is extremely deep, and Li Zhichen has intersected with him.
At the moment, I made up my mind to go to Penglai Island in Hezhou, Donglin, and ask Dongli Tianji for medicine to save people. He walked all the way, and on the way, Xue Qingyun woke up several times, and he fainted again after saying a few words in a daze, and there was not much life left. Li Zhichen's pace is even faster, but Hezhou is located in the easternmost place, and the distance is not close.
After walking for another two days, Xue Qingyun woke up and said, "Brother, don't worry about me...... I...... I'm going to die...... Brother, brother...... You threw me away, I just wish I didn't have another life...... I don't want those painful things anymore...... I...... Brother, I'd rather be gone......"
Li Zhichen hugged Xue Qingyun and said softly: "I recognize you as my sister-in-law, you are my sister-in-law! Don't worry, it's almost there, you'll be able to recover when you get there!"
Xue Qingyun's voice said intermittently: "Brother...... Don't. I...... I know you must be a haughty man...... How can you beg for help...... Brother, you have such a great ability, such a great ability...... Don't go for me...... Go beg someone, I'm ...... Anyway, I ...... I don't have any purpose in living anymore...... Brother, you let me die...... I ......" Before he could finish speaking, he passed out again.
Even with Li Zhichen's character, he couldn't help but soften his heart, and said to Xue Qingyun: "I said! You are my sister! I will definitely save you!"
Li Zhichen saw that there was still more than half of the journey, and he took out the jade sword and walked with the sword.
Swimming through the clouds and mist, after a few days, he finally arrived in the east, Li Zhichen held Xue Qingyun in one hand, warmed her body, and walked with the sword in the other. After a few more hours, I saw fairy mountains standing among the clouds.
Li Zhichen was overjoyed, holding Xue Qingyun's hand Yuan Li slowly withdrew, hugging Xue Qingyun and running towards an island.
The island is not very large, but it is quite spectacular with clouds and mist. At sunrise, the remnant sun's blood is sprinkled, which is more vivid.
When they came to Penglai Island, some of the disciples on the island rushed out, each holding a sword and forming a formation. One of the disciples walked out and said, "Your Excellency, what's the matter?"
Li Zhichen said: "Li Zhichen, a disciple of the Cloud Dao Sect, came to meet the island master and reported it." ”
The disciple bowed slightly, and said, "The master left the island a few months ago and should have not returned from the Heavenly Painting Banquet, so please wait." ”
Li Zhichen's face changed, and he said: "This ......" thought: This Penglai Island owner Dongli Tianji has not yet returned, how can he ask for the elixir? Looking at this situation, these disciples have no power to make decisions. Is it going to be a waste of energy? I can't say that I can only explore Penglai Island at night. Then he said: "Then I will go back first." ”
The disciple said, "Yes." "I didn't invite Li Zhichen to enter the island, but he was still on guard.
Li Zhichen smiled faintly and wanted to walk back. Suddenly, a voice from the island came out slowly: "Yun Dao Sect Li Zhichen, let him in!"
As soon as the disciples outside the island heard this person speak, they all changed their color, and they all looked respectful. The leading disciple said, "Honorable guest, please come in." ”
Li Zhichen was slightly stunned, how could this person be so highly cultivated? Looking at these disciples again, they all looked at their respectful expressions, who is this person?
