Xu Chen frowned and did not panic, "I wonder how Mr. Jin wants to deal with me?"
Jin replied proudly: "Three days ago, someone came to my house and wanted to cooperate with me to seize the divine sword. He offered a strange poison called 'incense'. It is said that it comes from a mole on the forehead of a phoenix and can poison even gods. This poison It’s so fragrant that it blends perfectly with wine.”
"Where is that man now?"
"Isn't it fair that I kill him with the poison he offered?"
Xu Chen sighed, as if he was very sorry. This time it was Jin Shiyan's turn to be confused, "You drank that poisonous wine. You should have died from the poison, but why are you still standing?"
Xu Chen smiled, twirled his fingertips, and the glass of wine appeared in his palm, "I don't drink alcohol at all, so I used some magic tricks to hide people's eyes and ears, and I accidentally escaped a big disaster."
Jin was shocked, and then sneered: "Don't be complacent. If you lose the divine sword, you will be unable to defeat the four hands with two fists, and you still can't escape this disaster."
He waved his hand, and more than ten men in black drew their swords and rushed towards him. Xu Chen did not move, but with a tap of his fingertips, all the men in black fell to the ground. Jin Shiyan was stunned, unable to move like a wood carving and clay sculpture.
A long laugh came from the side, and another young man in white floated over, "Idiot, if your little trick can control Master Xu, won't his famous reputation in the world be ridiculed?"
As if encountering a ghost, Jin Shiyan pointed with his finger, "Didn't you die of poisoning?"
Zhen Yan sneered: "Shameless villain, you are the one who wants to return to the west!"
His sword was like a flying rainbow, piercing his throat. Xu Chen ducked and held the tip of the sword between his two fingers, "There are so many people who covet the divine sword. He was bewitched by others, and his crime will not lead to death!"
"This guy plotted against my life, so he should pay for it with his own life."
Xu Chen removed the tip of the sword and said with a smile: "Aren't you living a good life? Don't get angry with mortals."
Zhen Yan sheathed her sword and nodded repeatedly: "Sure enough, there is great mercy in Buddhism! Then tell us about us!"
With a wave of his hand, Jin Shiyan and others fell off the stage like kites. The altar slowly rose and stood on the clouds.
At this time, Cheng'er had woken up leisurely and was extremely surprised to see that she was in the clouds. When she saw the two people confronting each other coldly, she was so frightened that she did not dare to breathe.
"As for the Divine Sword, did Brother Zhen get it skillfully this time? Or did he take it plundering it?"
Zhen Yan sneered: "The Divine Sword is already in my possession, but you don't even realize that you have the reputation of being a master!"
Xu Chen remained calm and listened to him continue: "I offered a strange poison. I was sure that Jin Shiyan was greedy and wanted to swallow the divine sword for himself. I pretended to be poisoned and died with my illusory body. With his hands, the mantis stalked the cicada, and the oriole followed. ."
"I thought that his trick would definitely not be able to stop you, so I took double insurance. I offered 'Yunmist' tea in his name and put 'incense' into the tea. The amount was so small that it was difficult to detect. I use it every day Carefully examine the tea roots that girl threw away and calculate the dose, you should be almost poisoned."
Xu Chen smiled and said, "Then why don't you come forward and kill me with one sword?"
Cheng'er listened to the conversation between the two. When they talked about "Yunwu" tea, she opened her mouth in surprise. Then seeing the two of them at war with each other, she was so nervous that she almost fainted.
Zhen Yan clenched the hilt of the sword, with an uncertain expression on his face. He was not confident at all against Master Xu, who was famous in the world. After thinking for a moment, he stopped his hand and said with a smile: "You are a dying person, and I don't want to get the reputation of killing everyone. I just want to get the divine sword."
He walked towards the altar table, secretly on guard, but Xu Chen was smiling and had no intention of stopping him.
Zhen Yan's palm emits blue light, the black vines gradually wither, and the divine sword shines brightly again.
Xu Chen warned from the side: "Think carefully, the divine sword cannot be controlled by mortals, and the backlash is no small matter!"
"It's sensational, and it's a way of putting money on your face!"
As Zhen Yan said that, he reached out and picked up the divine sword. The rays of light were bright, and several thunderbolts suddenly appeared. The electricity made him tremble all over, his skin was crispy, and he fell to the ground.
Xu Chen sighed deeply and stepped forward to cast three layers of Buddha's light on him. Zhen Yan woke up, but this time she didn't utter any arrogant words. She looked miserable and walked away.
Cheng'er cried with joy when she saw that Xu Chen was safe and sound. Master Xu pulled her down from the clouds, into the woods at the back of the mountain. He suddenly put his hand on his chest and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
Cheng'er was in a hurry and tears fell, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Chen calmed his breath, "The tea is really poisonous, and there is no cure for 'burning incense'. I took advantage of Zhen Yan's pride and used the divine sword to backfire and force him back. When he reacts, he will definitely come back!"
"so what should I do now?"
Xu Chen took out the divine sword, "My death is a small matter, and the divine sword must not fall into the hands of others. You wrapped it in something, left with the divine sword, and handed it to Tianjian Temple. Now I can only rely on you." "
Cheng'er cried in a low voice, "It's all my fault for accidentally poisoning you. I can't leave you alone!"
Xu Chen was so anxious that he coughed up a few more mouthfuls of blood, "There is no cure for the poison of 'burning incense'. If God wants to kill me, I can't blame others!"
Cheng'er suddenly wiped away her tears and said in an extremely firm voice, "Heaven wants to kill you, but Cheng'er won't agree!" Her eyes were bright, as if she was a different person.
"Who are you?" Xu Chen asked in confusion.
"None of this matters anymore. You just need to remember that I am Cheng'er, the lover you love and care for, the woman who is willing to live for you, die for you, and love you for all eternity."
She took the divine sword with ease, and there was no backlash.
"'Incense' is a soul-destroying poison, and there is indeed no cure. I will take you to the underworld, protect your body from decay with the light of the divine sword, and immerse your soul in the River Styx. After seven or forty years It will take nine days to 'light the incense' to eliminate the poison."
Xu Chen's thoughts began to blur, Cheng'er cut his fingertips with the sword blade, blood stained the sword edge, and the light surged, like silk thread, wrapping Xu Chen layer by layer, forming a bright cocoon.
Then she touched the ground with her finger, and suddenly the sky changed color, dark clouds rolled in, and a black vortex appeared on the ground, with rapids surging inside, and it was bottomless. Cheng'er didn't hesitate and jumped into it with Liang Cocoon.
The River Styx in the underworld is calm, the light is dim, and the gloomy atmosphere spreads everywhere. Suddenly, a ray of golden light rushed from a distance, like starlight piercing the sky. Then the air flow surged, setting off a hurricane, and the waves of the Styx were turbulent, threatening to overflow its banks.
Ma Mian received the quick report and brought the ghost soldiers to prepare for the attack. When the golden light arrived, the old horse raised his palm and sent out a soft force to stop him from moving forward.
"It turns out to be the dragon soul of the upper three realms. No wonder the golden light is dazzling and the momentum is like a rainbow. It's just that it seems against the rules for you to rush in like this!"
Cheng'er's whole body shimmered with golden light, as powerful as a god. Xu Chen's soul was dying in her arms, "I have something important to do. I have no choice but to do it. General, please get out of the way."
"You are the little princess of the dragon tribe. You love mortals. You use the body of a fisherman to resurrect your soul and become the person you love. This is against the laws of nature. I can just turn a blind eye. Why should you? Hit the door?"
Cheng'er responded coldly: "My little dragon is used to doing whatever he wants. Haven't he violated many of the laws of heaven? I don't care about one more. The one I love has been poisoned by the 'incense' poison, and I will use the water of the Styx to save him." Purify the soul.”
"Mortal souls will be destroyed when they enter the River Styx. I'm afraid this method won't work, right?"
"I will enter the River Styx with him to prevent him from sinking."
This time Lao Ma was shocked: "Even if you are a dragon soul, entering the River Styx will be like thousands of arrows piercing your heart. The pain will be extremely painful, even worse than hell. On the 77th and 49th day, your soul will be like a layer of fading away." My skin is riddled with sores and my vitality is severely damaged. Is it worth fighting for such a mortal life?"
Cheng'er remained calm, "This is my business and I am willing to do it. I just ask General Ma for convenience."
Lao Ma was moved by this, nodded and said: "I, Lao Ma, are also people who value love and justice. The little princess's actions moved the world and made people cry. I admire them so much!" He waved his hand and asked people to get out of the way, "I will let you I’m sending you the fruit of the Underworld Flower to help you maintain your vitality.”
Ten days later, Lao Ma was admiring flowers in the backyard. The fragrance was overflowing, making people feel relaxed and happy. At this time, the housekeeper came quickly and reported to him: "After the dragon soul entered the River Styx, it suffered in pain, and the golden light gradually faded away. After eating the Nether Fruit you gave me just now, my mood has recovered a lot."
"That's very good. Keep giving it to her."
"But sir, she barged in rashly and was very rude. Why are you helping her?"
Lao Ma laughed: "Are you still worried about Lao Ma losing money? If you reciprocate good deeds and good results, you will be rewarded."
He suddenly turned to sigh: "It's been a long time since I met such a crazy man and a woman. Love is as strong as gold. I really want to fall in love vigorously and have three men and two women in front of me again..."
In the Styx River, the waves were still calm. Cheng'er's clothes had been eroded by the river water, and her whole body was burning like fire. The river water seeped into her muscles and bones, and the pain was like a thousand arrows piercing her heart. She gritted her teeth and endured it.
The man in her arms gradually became conscious, and the warmth radiating from his body gave her the slightest comfort. She pressed her cheek against his lips and felt his breath. This was her only comfort now...
She gritted her teeth and endured the pain. As long as she could be with him, she would never leave him even if she suffered a lifetime of suffering.
As time passed by, Lao Ma calculated with his fingers that the forty-nine days were up and the dragon soul was about to leave seclusion. He bathed and burned incense, put on a long snow-white dress, and came to the River Styx alone. The light was dim and the fog was swampy, and two people could be seen faintly in the river, naked and embracing each other, with their heads touching each other.
"Little princess, the calamity is over. How long will it take if we don't leave the seclusion now?"
Before he finished speaking, there was an explosion, water splashed, a giant water column rose into the sky, and then rolled up like a lotus. The two people were in the center of the flower.
Lao Ma waved his hand, and two black lights flew out from his sleeves and turned into clothes. When Cheng'er landed, she was wearing a black robe covering her body and looked very thin.
"The clothes of the underworld are either black or white. Please forgive me, little princess!"
Cheng'er stepped forward to greet him, but the golden light on her body had dissipated and she was very weak. "Thank you, General, for your careful consideration. I also need a branch of the Night Flower to help him awaken his soul."
Lao Ma looked at Xu Chen again. He was moving freely, but his face was expressionless, as if he was in a daze.
"For him, it's like a lifetime ago. The princess's deep friendship may have been forgotten, and your suffering may have been in vain!" He said, and presented a blue ghost flower to his fingertips.
Cheng'er looked at Xu Chen with a sad expression, "As long as he lives well, I don't ask for anything else!"
She took the Minghua and saluted Lao Ma again, "Thank you general for your help. I have nothing to offer in return. Here is a cup of ambergris to give to the general as a token of my appreciation."
Old Ma's eyes shone brightly, he took the dragon's saliva, and praised: "This is a treasure from the Six Realms, extremely rare, and I really deserve it! If the princess has any mission in the future, Old Ma will die without mercy!"
The two of them said goodbye and looked at Cheng'er's back, holding the ambergris in his hand with great pride, "Who said my old horse would lose money? I made a lot of money this time..."
