But even so, he still did not get rid of the chasing people behind him. He saw a spiritual ball flying from behind. The fluctuations in spiritual power made the thin man raise his eyes nervously, but he saw that the spiritual ball exploded instantly and opened into a Zhang Lingguang made a big net, and the next moment he lowered his hood.
The thin man pulled out the stainless steel sword with his backhand. The fiery red spiritual light burst out from the sword and hit the spiritual net violently. Unexpectedly, the spiritual net only swelled outwards a little, and then recovered. The spiritual net was not damaged at all. On the contrary, He absorbed the power of the attack from the stainless steel sword, blessed it on the spiritual net, and counterattacked the emaciated man.
The man's eyes were aligned, and he held his sword to block it, but he didn't expect another force to come in from outside the rear spiritual net and impact on his back. The two sides attacked, and the man was defeated, and he instantly choked out a mouthful of blood.
He fell to the ground and watched several people approaching with proud and playful faces.
A short gray-robed man with a deer head and mouse eyes mocked, "Want to break free from my spiritual weapon? Maybe in the next life."
The middle-aged man in the lead had a huge scar across his face. He stared at the thin man and said, "Hand over the purple ginseng!"
Purple ginseng is the most critical medicinal material for refining life-extending pills. Even if it is not used to make pills, taking it raw can extend life by three to five years.
In this Yang Shen realm where time accelerates and growth accelerates, such elixir can be called a holy product and is something that everyone wants.
"Bah, you villains, you deliberately tried to harm my brother back then, and now you are doing it again, trying to make both me and the beast suffer. You can't even think about benefiting from it."
"Tsk, tsk." The short man in gray robe was slightly stunned, "I didn't expect that this guy turned out to be smart, unlike his brother who is stupid and believes in everything and does everything, haha, but you are smart and talented. What’s the use? It’s not that I don’t have the strength, so I can only kneel on the ground and offer the purple ginseng!”
The thin man clenched his fists, and his whole body tensed up after the other party mentioned the painful past.
The scarred man took a step forward and kicked him to the ground through the spiritual net. "Don't waste my time. You still want to go see your brother in the underworld."
This sentence completely angered the thin man, but he saw a mouthful of blood suddenly protruding from him. The blood sprayed on the fine steel sword, and the power exploded, breaking through the spiritual net, and started fighting with several people with a desperate heart.
On the high branch of a huge tree not far away, two figures looked down at each other, without anyone noticing.
"Lin Ruyu is a casual cultivator in Fengyi City. The only one left in the family is his one-year-old mother. He originally had an older brother who was naive, honest, and had no spiritual roots. Three years ago, he was deceived by these people into stealing elixirs from a medicine garden. He was The owner of the medicine garden let his dog kill him."
"And this brother is Lin Rufeng."
Chapter 168
The two people standing on the high branches are Zhao Ning and Bao Wu.
A few days ago, Bao Wu reported to Zhao Ning and found information about Lin Rufeng, but it was somewhat inconsistent with the current Lin Rufeng.
Bao Wu had some doubts, but still told the truth.
Zhao Ning did not deny his statement because of this, and arrived near Fengyi City with Bao Wu. Unexpectedly, he did not expect that he would see such a scene when his spiritual consciousness searched near Fengyi City.
In the fight between several people, Lin Ruyu gradually fell into a disadvantage. He only had the strength to resist by relying on the power of his blood, but now he was gradually unable to bear it.
Bao Wu looked at Zhao Ning and said, "Goddess, do you want to help him?"
Zhao Ning nodded slightly, Bao Wu understood, and immediately rushed down. Bao Wu's sudden participation made the battle stagnant for a moment.
I heard the scarred man shout in surprise, "Where did this bastard half-demon come from?"
He didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, but even if he went down, Bao Wu just wanted to help Lin Ruyu. As soon as he said these words, Bao Wu immediately raised his eyebrows, and then his men showed no mercy and rushed towards the scarred man. In front of him, he kicked the scarred man. The scarred man never expected that he would be so fast. He flew out without warning.
When the other people saw that their boss had been thrown away, they were shocked and frightened, but they also attacked Baowu at the same time. They were not stupid, and they would not think that after Baowu taught his boss a lesson, as long as they didn't move. They will be released.
Several people worked together to attack, but Bao Wu was born into the Leopard Clan and was born with the Leopard Clan's talent for speed. These people couldn't touch Bao Wu at all, but were shocked by Bao Wu's movements so fast that they only left an afterimage. On the spot, everyone was slapped, and then several people's heads hit each other, and they all fainted instantly.
Lin Ruyu was a little scared when he saw a half-demon rushing towards him, but when he saw that this half-demon seemed to be helping him when he encountered an injustice, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his fighting spirit dissipated a little. He held up the stainless steel sword , looked up and saw that the half-demon had eliminated everyone, and wanted to say thank you to each other.
But as soon as he raised his head, these slight movements made him dizzy, and he fell straight back to the ground.
His consciousness gradually blurred, his eyelids were heavy, and he struggled to open and close his eyes. He saw the half-demon bowing his hands respectfully not far away. He tilted his head slightly, and with his last glance after unconsciousness, he saw a fairy walking slowly. Come over.
"God...god."
He murmured the last word and then completely lost consciousness. Even though he practiced by himself, at this moment, he only had subconscious perceptions.
"Goddess, this person has put a lot of effort into it, and I'm afraid he only has his last breath left."
Bao Wu glanced at Lin Ruyu's situation, and then caught a glimpse of a leaf that was accidentally exposed in his arms due to the fight.
The leaves are blue and purple like disks, which is the purple ginseng that those people want to get from Lin Ruyu.
"Goddess, if you don't feed him the purple ginseng, you can at least breathe a sigh of relief and bring his life back."
"No need." Zhao Ning refused, holding a pill with her fingertips, "Feed this to him."
It was just an ordinary blood-replenishing pill, but at least it was enough to save Lin Ruyu's life. Bao Wu obeyed the order and took the pill, opened Lin Ruyu's mouth, and stuffed the pill inside.
Time passed very quickly, and the Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish in the sky began to slowly switch. At this moment, Lin Ruyu finally woke up from the coma.
The moment I woke up, my consciousness hadn't fully returned yet. My first reaction was to sit up suddenly and fumble around in my arms, but found nothing.
"Where is my purple ginseng? Where did the purple ginseng go?" There was a moment of panic.
He subconsciously looked around, and then he noticed that there were two other people standing next to him. No, they were a half-demon and a female cultivator whose cultivation level was indistinguishable.
And his purple ginseng was spread out in the female cultivator's hand.
"That's mine!" Lin Ruyu shouted subconsciously.
Zhao Ning paused slightly and looked sideways at him.
At this moment, Lin Ruyu saw Zhao Ning's appearance, and instantly remembered everything that happened before he fell into coma. He was rescued by them.
Lin Ruyu was very kind. When she realized it, she immediately stood up and knelt on the ground to kowtow to them. "Thank you both for saving me. It's because I was slow-minded and I almost collided with this fairy recklessly just now."
Bao Wu smiled and looked at Lin Ruyu's humble appearance, "Why do you human beings like to kowtow so much? Stop kowtowing. My master doesn't like others to kowtow at every turn."
Lin Ruyu stood up and hesitated for a while, but still did not stand up directly. He looked at Zhao Ning carefully. He thought that Zhao Ning didn't have the slightest concern about Zhao Ning taking the purple ginseng, but... he still stared at the purple ginseng. Ginseng, "Fairy, I can exchange this purple ginseng with others. I urgently need this purple ginseng."
Zhao Ning's eyes fell on him, Lin Ruyu paused, and then added, "My mother is already old. Time has suddenly sped up in the past few months and she is getting older faster. I'm afraid she may die. I think... I think …”
He was a little choked unconsciously when he spoke, but they all understood the meaning, which was nothing more than wanting to keep their mother by their side for a while longer.
"You can't use this." Zhao Ning said calmly.
Under Lin Ruyu's hesitant gaze, she explained, "This purple ginseng is stained with invisible and colorless poison. If you take it, you will die immediately."
Lin Ruyu was stunned for a moment, kneeling on the ground, her mind buzzing, "One... it must have been the monster. The monster was somewhat intelligent. I wasted half of my life to kill it, but... I didn’t expect it to have a back-up move, so vicious. Damn monster!”
As a half-demon, Bao Wu listened indifferently to Lin Ruyu's curses. For the half-demon, the monsters were not of the same race, and being scolded had nothing to do with him.
Lin Ruyu's entire mood dropped, "But without purple ginseng, my mother... my mother..."
"Where is your mother?" Zhao Ning asked.
Before Lin Ruyu could react, she murmured twice while choking, "At home, at..."
Bao Wu lifted up his collar and said, "My master wants you to lead the way. Purple ginseng can't increase your mother's life span, but that doesn't mean our master can't."
Lin Ruyu was startled, and looked at Zhao Ning with even more gratitude.
He wiped the tears from his eyes and trotted forward in a few steps, "I'll take you there, this way, this way."
At the end of the Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish transformation in the sky, Lin Ruyu opened the door of her home and said, "Mother, mother, I'm back."
Lin Ruyu was full of excitement, but when she didn't get a response from inside, she was startled and rushed into the side room. As soon as the oil lamp was lit, she was shocked to see that her elderly mother was already lying on the ground. The breath is dying.
He carried his old mother to the couch. The Lin family was very poor, and the bedding was old and full of patches. He looked pleadingly at Zhao Ning, who happened to walk in. Zhao Ning stood by the bed and found that the old man's longevity was almost gone. When it is exhausted, it has probably revealed the appearance of the Yang Shen realm. If Zhao Ning carefully observes it at this moment, he can see that the state of the old man's soul has become dim and is about to dissipate.
Probably after three thousand years of torture, there are always some souls who have died and come back to life, lived and died again in the constant repetition. Deep in their consciousness, they have really had enough.
This is the case for the elderly.
"Fairy, Fairy, can my mother be saved?" Lin Ruyu's eyes were wet. This lean man shed tears several times for his mother in just a few hours.
Zhao Ning didn't speak, but her actions answered.
Auras of light bloomed on her fingertips, and the auras drew ancient and mysterious lines out of thin air, and then integrated into the old man's body.
After a while, the old man's fingertips moved. Lin Ruyu was so surprised and moved that he kept calling his mother, and repeatedly told his mother, "Mom, the immortal has blessed you to stay with your son longer."
But only Zhao Ning knew that what had just been penetrated into the old man's body was not a blessing or a secret method to extend life, but an ancient cloud pattern - "binding".
The binding of the soul.
Binding the soul in place is the only way to keep the old man, otherwise the old man's soul will be scattered in the next moment.
Such an approach might be too cruel in ordinary times, but now, Zhao Ning wants to give it a try. Maybe when the Jianmu Tongtian Ladder opens in a few days, there will be a solution, and he will no longer suffer such pain. Just wait for a while.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were a little hollow, and he held Lin Ruyu in his palm, "Ruyu, Ruyu, is that you?"
"It's me, mother, just wake up."
Lin Ruyu almost shed tears, but still held it back.
The old man was blind and couldn't see clearly what was going on around her, but her perception was sharp and she could clearly feel that there were other people around her.
Her first reaction was, "Ruyu, is your brother back? Your brother is not dead, right?"
Before Lin Ruyu could speak, she forced herself up and shouted in the direction of Baowu, "Rufeng, you're back, mother, mother misses you so much."
At this moment, Lin Ruyu's tears finally burst down, and he couldn't even bear to expose his mother directly. He glanced at Bao Wu, with a little pleading in his eyes.
Bao Wu had long been a little intolerant of such true feelings. He stretched out his hand, and the old man grabbed Bao Wu's hand. However, the old man was probably too old and his consciousness was chaotic to recognize. He only felt that someone was approaching, and it must be the child he cherished. When she came back, she held Bao Wu's palm with both hands, rested her forehead on her fist, and murmured, "Just come back, good child, just go back to your mother."
Such a scene makes people feel miserable.
Zhao Ning exited the house silently. She stood under the eaves, folding her arms and looking at the Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish above her head. She watched the Yin fish in charge of the night of the Yangshen Realm turning around and around. She didn't know what she was thinking.
I don't know how long it took, Bao Wu and Lin Ruyu walked out of the room, and Lin Ruyu closed the door in a low voice.
He bowed his back slightly, folded his hands and saluted Bao Wu, "Thank you Brother Bao for helping me comfort my mother."
Bao Wu shook his head, paused and said, "It's okay for me to pretend to be your brother for a while, but when your mother wakes up and realizes that I am not your brother, I'm afraid she will be even more sad."
Lin Ruyu sighed, "No, my mother has a bad memory. She often forgets many things as soon as she wakes up. Sometimes even I forget."
Bao Wu had heard that mortals might suffer from this disease when they were old, so he could only sigh helplessly.
At this time, Zhao Ning asked, "Was your brother killed by those people too?"
She looked at Lin Ruyu, who nodded angrily, "They are all those bastards. They are just a small cultivating family, but they behave like bandits. My brother used to work as a temporary worker in their family. But I didn’t want to be deceived by them into a medicine garden with an owner. They said that the medicine garden belonged to their family and asked my brother to pick some back. My brother had no cultivation and his brain couldn’t turn around. He saw the forged orders in their hands. They think they are the owners of the medicine garden."
"Who would have thought that the owner of the medicine garden had a bad temper and was at an advanced level in Qi training. When he saw someone stealing the elixir, he directly killed my brother."
Lin Ruyu clenched his fists hard when he thought about this past, but he couldn't do anything else.
Lin Ruyu's description of his brother was almost consistent with what Baowu heard about Lin Rufeng.
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Zhao Ning, and then at Bao Wu, with a cautious look in his eyes, as if he wanted to ask something, and in the end he held back for a long time, "Why do my benefactors ask my brother?"
Such a rhetorical question sounds a bit strange, as if there is hidden expectation. Zhao Ning noticed something and glanced at Baowu. Baowu understood, and immediately turned over his hand and took out a scroll. The scroll unfolded, and Lin Rufeng appeared on it. , Bao Wu asked, "Is this your brother?"
