Outside Xingyue Cave, the fight between Wei Huayang and the Great Protector continued, and it was difficult to distract him.
Therefore, he failed to notice that Ji Ping'an, who should have lost his fighting ability, calmly opened his eyes.
There was neither joy nor sorrow on his face.
Just like from the beginning, when he walked out of the cave and saw the great protector walking through the bamboo forest, he was only surprised, but not frightened.
Because of this scene, he had already foreseen it in "Astrology".
During the "deduction" that exhausted the current cultivation level before leaving Qixia Town, the stars conveyed several key scenes.
The first picture is the appearance of the Iron Buddha, the cold and dark iron cavalry coming from the mouth of the canyon - he arranged the dark network and puppets to deal with it, killed the chief cavalryman of the Buddha, and killed Ding Huan.
The second picture shows the corner of Wei Huayang's skirt lifted up - so he cooperated peacefully and was kidnapped and brought here, and he indeed received "huge benefits".
The third picture was of a burly strong man walking out of the bamboo forest, but it was also blurry at the time.
Ji Ping'an once thought about how to deal with the enemies in the "Third Painting". He once guessed that they corresponded to Jian Zheng's "tips", but when it came to his own life and death, he could not rely entirely on this.
He also thought about whether to use his deepest hidden cards, such as the thing hidden in the sky of Yuhang Star...
But everything in the world has a price. With his current cultivation level, if he wants to forcefully activate the power that he cannot bear, he will inevitably suffer a huge backlash.
It wasn't until he saw the "fourth" painting in the starlight that he realized:
It turns out that the reason why Jian Zheng was relieved to leave Yuhang and go through this experience was probably because the star official who was in the realm of "observing the sky"... and could even enter the Shenzang at any time had already judged that this There is no danger of disaster.
Just like this moment, when he completely grasped the inspiration, the "star fragment" hidden in the brocade bag suddenly shone brightly.
With a thought in Ji Ping'an's mind, he grabbed the fragment in his palm, and that strong, mysterious, and ancient power immediately established a certain connection with him.
That was the power he gave him when he glimpsed Tao Zun in the past when he divined the fragments last time.
It's just that it has never really started. Ji Ping'an has thought about countless methods and possibilities.
It was only at this moment that he finally realized that there was a slight deviation in his outline of the starry sky in this world.
If "Starry Sky Fragment" is a magic weapon, then the key in his hand is always missing the last detail.
It wasn't until those two strings of symbols were absorbed and the structure of the star map was adjusted that the "keys" finally matched.
He finally truly mastered this "magic weapon" and the huge and familiar power contained in it.
"The wind is coming."
Ji Ping'an whispered these two words, and the wind really blew in the vast bamboo forest.
…
far away.
The remaining members of the Four Holy Cults sat scattered in a forest, saying nothing to each other, waiting for the return of the Great Protector.
Suddenly, Xue Ji, who had her eyes closed, opened her eyes and saw a strand of hair brushing her eyes. She raised her head, looked at the clouds in the sky that were suddenly blown away by the strong wind, and said:
"got windy."
The old man holding the bone staff tightened his wide collar.
The ugly dwarf looked at the white flags blowing in the wind in surprise.
Everyone woke up from their meditation and were surprised to see the trees swaying and the grass and trees like waves.
"what happened?"
In a certain small town.
Several warriors had just finished a hard battle and worked together to chop the last iron corpse into pieces. They dropped their weapons with a clang and fell to the courtyard where corpses were strewn, gasping for air.
Suddenly, I was surprised to see the antique wind chimes swaying under the eaves, and the scarlet petals of the flowers in the courtyard were flying in the wind, gathering in the air like dragons, and soaring in a certain direction.
…
"Ding ding ding..."
In the open space next to the bamboo forest, the Great Protector was tall and burly, like a little giant, moving around and waving the giant blade in his hand.
The ancient "flying sword" was knocked out again and again.
As Wei Huayang's strength declined, the speed of the flying sword became slower and slower, and its strength was no longer strong.
The Great Protector was able to do it with ease and said with a smile:
"Interesting. It seems that there is an unexpected surprise this time. Perhaps, this protector should not kill you directly, but tie you back and plant poisonous insects. What do you think?"
There was teasing and shrewdness in his eyes, and he could vaguely sense that this couple was not a simple couple.
There is even a ridiculous guess that maybe he got it right this time and caught a "reborn person" with great background.
He smiled and said:
"If this protector is right, you are not from this world. Could it be that you are also some powerful people who have died in ancient times? There is no need to deny that I have seen people like you a lot... Yes, it is this kind of look, contemptuous and proud, yes Others always have a scrutinizing and overlooking attitude...
Oh, but you have to know that people today may not be as good as the ancients. I don’t care what big shot you were in the past, how noble your status was, and how big your background was, but now you are still being suppressed and beaten by me? "
He waved the giant blade and stared greedily at the neck of the girl in red:
"Give up, you finally came back from the dead, why risk your life? Or are you just protecting your little lover? What's the point of laughing at that pretty boy? Why don't you go with me? As the saying goes, the sky is your quilt and the earth is your bed. , I guarantee you will be satisfied..."
"Suffer death!" Wei Huayang's face darkened, her eyes blazing with fire. As the first generation headmaster of the Taoist sect, the pride in her heart did not allow her to suffer such humiliation.
Make a secret with both hands and control the power of the flying sword to slash with great force.
However, this time, he failed to succeed. Instead, he was swept away by the scarlet giant blade, spinning and piercing into the cliff with a "chi" sound, and it was submerged by two inches.
Wei Huayang trembled all over as if he had been hit hard and fell from the cliff. He looked at the great protector who was striding forward step by step with "dong" and "dong" steps, making a gesture to capture him.
Quietly holding Qi Hai, a golden vortex gradually condensed in the depths of his pupils. He looked in the direction of "Li Yang" and then froze.
"What did you say?"
The Great Protector paused in his steps. At this moment, the hairs on his back stood on end. He clearly heard a weak, yet calm and indifferent voice coming from behind him:
"The wind was so strong that I couldn't hear clearly."
The Great Protector's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around, but was shocked to find that his movements became extremely difficult, as if he was restricted by this cage of heaven and earth.
"Woo-"
The sound of the wind seemed to be broken. The wind blowing from all directions carried the spiritual elements of heaven and earth for dozens of miles around, and the clouds in the sky also blew and piled up.
The sky is blocked, the light is dimmed, the setting sun is extinguished, and the darkness is like a surge.
Under the Great Protector's feet, thick layers of leaves suddenly lifted up and rolled backwards. His body also felt a strong force pulling backwards.
The wind was strong and the sand and rocks were flying.
The stones rolling down from the cliff were like bullets, hitting him on the cheek, and clusters of sparks burst out from the weapon.
"drink!"
Warning signs rose in the Great Protector's heart. He didn't have time to think about it. He shouted angrily, and the sea of qi roared. A gray light came out of the pores of his skin, and a round and illusory "well" opened around his body.
The mouth of the well continues to expand, and the entire wall of the well roars and rotates. This is the unique domain of the "well-sitting" monks. Within the mouth of the well, they are invincible in close combat.
With this strength, the Great Protector finally turned around and saw clearly behind him Ji Ping'an, who was wearing a green shirt and standing with his hands behind his back.
His face was slightly pale, and he stood calmly in the "eye of the wind", as if welcoming the worship of this world.
Like a legendary god.
He held the shimmering blue star fragments in his palms behind his back. The wind and rain from all directions carried the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, pouring into the fragments, and then poured into his exhausted sea of energy.
In the Qi Sea, one golden star appeared, then two, three... In the blink of an eye, five stars condensed, representing the restoration of the Five Realms.
Then, the air sea suddenly collapsed and slowly squeezed out the sixth starlight.
Officially promoted to the Sixth Level.
"What kind of secret technique is this?" The Great Protector said in awe, and subconsciously waved the giant blade to interrupt.
But Ji Ping'an just glanced at him, and blood burst out from the Great Protector's mouth and nose, and his eyesight turned black. He felt a mountain peak on his shoulders, his knees softened, and he knelt down with a "pop", and his knees hit the ground an inch.
He was horrified, and the illusory well around him was spinning wildly, trying to resist.
Ji Pingan's eyes were full of pity and he said softly:
"Heaven and earth cannot be violated."
The power of heaven and earth!
The Great Protector understood it, but couldn't believe it at all. He didn't believe that a Pojiu monk had the ability to control the general trend of the world. That was an ability that could only be discerned by the Observing Heaven Realm and truly mastered by the Divine Treasure Realm.
He shouted violently, veins sprouted on his forehead, pushing the illusory well to the extreme, blood droplets emerged from the pores on his body, his eyes protruded, and he tried his best to stand up.
But the next second, the illusory "well" was overwhelmed and shattered. The eight extraordinary meridians suffered backlash and broke every inch.
His little giant-like body collapsed little by little, with broken bones and tendons, and was severely pressed to the ground by invisible hands.
Every bone was shattering, and the cultivation he had accumulated over decades of hard work was gone and he was reduced to a useless person.
"No!"
The Great Protector wailed and tried his best to raise his head under the weight of heaven and earth, but he only saw a pair of boots and the young Taoist who slowly squatted down in front of him.
Ji Ping'an stared at his desperate eyes, thought for a while, and said:
"It is true that people today are not inferior to the ancients, but it is a pity that you are not among them."
"Hoo...ho ho..." The Great Protector spat out blood and wanted to say something, but a finger from deep inside Ji Ping'an gently pierced the center of his eyebrows, and his eyes under the mask were completely extinguished.
Then, Ji Ping'an silently counted the time, stood up, looked at the dense gray clouds in the sky, and spoke softly:
"Disperse."
The clouds dispersed all over the sky, and the sunset slanted down.
The "star fragments" in his hand were also extinguished and became ordinary, and all this only lasted three breaths.
The wind stopped and everything became quiet, leaving only the large figure lying on the ground, dying tragically.
Ji Ping'an shook his head and did not deal with him immediately. Instead, he took out a healing elixir from his bag, walked quickly to Wei Huayang, and fed the medicine without any doubt, with a worried look on his face:
"How about it?"
Wei Huayang closed his eyes and calmed down to activate the power of the medicine. Feeling the meridians being gradually moistened, he opened his eyes, shook his head and said:
"It's nothing serious."
Then, she looked at him in surprise and asked:
"What happened just now? I felt the power of heaven and earth."
Ji Ping'an shook his head, took out the star fragment and said:
"Things are more complicated..."
Immediately, he spent his days investigating the reborn, encountering some enemies, and obtaining fragments.
And how the astrology saw the Taoist Lord in the long time ago and gained a mysterious power is briefly explained.
Wei Huayang was stunned for a long time before he frowned:
"So, you are saying that Dao Zun appeared earlier than historical records?"
Ji Pingan nodded:
"Yes. However, I can't judge whether the picture I saw is true or false. However, judging from the last period of my senior brother's whereabouts before his death, the ancient saint did hide some secrets that we are not aware of."
Back then, Master Xingzhi followed some clues and arrived at Qixia Town. He found the golden bamboo slips in the underground palace. He followed this clue and arrived at Xingyue Cave, the residence of the Qi Refiner thousands of years ago... and then left again. …
Combined with the legend provided by Wei Huayang, Dao Zun once appeared in the north.
All of these prove the hidden existence of ancient times.
Wei Huayang looked curious and also showed great interest in this matter:
"So, just now you used the power existing in this fragment to communicate between heaven and earth? And you briefly gained the ability to nearly observe the sky?"
Ji Pingan nodded and said:
"Indeed. But it is not true sky-gazing. It is very limited and lasts very short time. Moreover, I can feel that the power has almost been exhausted, but I am not sure that this power can only After using it once, it will still recover slowly over time, and you can use it a second time in the future.”
Wei Huayang fiddled with the fragment for a while, then shook his head and handed it back with an extremely serious expression:
"I don't understand either. But you must not mention this matter to outsiders, let it rot in your stomach. Not to mention the secret of Taoist Master, I am afraid it is inextricably linked to our resurrection. This borrowing alone The power of heaven and earth is enough to make people have evil thoughts."
Ji Ping'an smiled and said:
"But you are not an outsider."
Wei Huayang was accidentally poked, and the corners of his mouth raised:
"You just have to say it nicely..."
Ji Ping'an smiled and said, "But I am also willing to work hard."
Wei Huayang's face turned red and he stretched out his hand to push him:
"Go dig the body and get out of here."
Ji Ping'an also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he immediately returned to the body of the Great Protector and groped for a while, but only found some coins, talismans, elixirs and other items.
"No fragments? He is indeed not a reborn person."
Ji Ping'an groped his chest and found no "fragmentation".
Wei Huayang walked over while holding on to the wall, not surprised:
"From what this person said before, he is a current person. Sitting half a foot in the well means that he has been promoted not long ago. It is likely that the martial artist who was previously stuck in breaking the nine great perfections successfully stepped into the world with the help of this round of recovery of heaven and earth spiritual elements. Enter the well. So I still focus on martial arts, and I am not proficient in magic."
Ji Pingan nodded and said:
"It's not surprising that there will be more and more people sitting in wells. I'm curious. His words revealed that he seems to have gathered many reborn people in his hands. I'm afraid they have all been poisoned..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, got up and walked towards the bamboo forest. After a while, he came back holding a golden Gu worm.
This was thrown into the bamboo forest by the Great Protector before the war started. This insect was too stupid to run away at all.
When caught at this time, the whole insect shrank up one by one, closed its eyes, tilted its head, and pretended to be dead.
Just stick out your tongue.
"So stupid." Wei Huayang frowned, feeling a little disgusted:
"Kill him."
Ji Ping'an shook his head and said:
"Keep it, it might be useful in the future."
The Golden Gu Insect itself is a special kind of monster that can influence and drive other Gu Insects to a certain extent.
Of course, this kind of driving is limited, and what it can fully drive is only its "production" sub-gu.
"If my guess is correct, the 'source of the poisonous insects' carried on the remains of the demon corpse should be the offspring of this golden poison, or the brothers of the same mother. In other words, to master this golden poison, you should We can control the batch of 'Iron Corpses' born in Sanhuang County within a certain range."
Ji Pingan said:
"Unfortunately, this thing has a distance limit, and I don't know much about corpse poison. It's impossible to bring it to collect the iron corpse bit by bit. Moreover, the iron corpse must devour living people to survive. It is a demonic and evil thing, and it is not allowed by nature.
However, it is a golden Gu after all, and its level is not low. Even if it cannot control unrelated Gu insects, it can still suppress it to a certain extent. "
Wei Huayang's eyes lit up:
"You mean, if we meet the other Four Saints in the future, we might be able to use this thing to suppress them?"
Ji Pingan nodded, took out a talisman, sealed it, and then threw it into the Taoist Scripture.
Unfortunately, he saw that this golden Gu was promoted not long ago.
In other words, the other strong men following the Great Protector will not be controlled by him, and at most they will have a certain suppressive effect.
The opponent's strength and number are unknown, and the power in the star fragments has dispersed. Ji Ping'an cannot gamble and can only leave first.
The two of them cleaned up the battlefield, erased the words written by Zhi Zhi on the door of "Xingyue Cave" and the symbols in the coffin of the tomb, then quickly released the paper cranes and left in a hurry.
This time, the paper crane made no mistakes and led the two of them straight up a mountain.
Just when they reached the top of the mountain, the last ray of sunset fell.
The two of them stood on the mountain peak hand in hand, and were surprised to see a large river stretching forward in front of them, with a ship sailing on it, and ahead of them, a prosperous Jiangnan city.
It turned out that before they knew it, they were only one step away from entering Yuhang.
…
Outside the bamboo forest.
The people of the Four Saints who stayed behind waited anxiously for a while, until the clouds dispersed, and there was no movement ahead for a long time.
The group of talents finally couldn't suppress their curiosity and anxiety. After discussing with each other, they got up and rushed towards the previous location of the eye of the storm.
Not long after, when Xue Ji and others walked through the bamboo forest and arrived outside the deserted Xingyue Cave, and saw the body of the Great Protector lying on the ground in a large font, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
"The Great Protector is dead!"
The old man named Corpse Witch walked closer and opened the body of the Great Protector, which was almost crushed to pulp. His face was trembling and his voice was horrified.
The dwarf sat down on the ground.
It’s over!
Xue Ji was stunned, complex emotions flashing across her white face.
She stepped into the Xingyue Cave, looked at the huge and towering Taoist statue, frowned, bent over and raised her round buttocks, wiped a little dried water stains from the ground with her fingertips, frowned, and her expression changed. Dumb, looking blank.
into great confusion.
…
Yuhang City.
A ship did not sail into the dock, but headed straight for an extremely tall building in the night at the edge of the city.
Ji Ping'an stood at the bow of the boat and narrowed his eyes.
…
