"Refining the form spirit? The spirit of heretic protector?"
Witnessing the strange transformation of the paper-armored man with his own eyes, how could Qi Jingzhi not understand that this ruthless Qing Yuanzi was here to kill people and steal goods? As for whether he was a human or a spirit, and whether he had harmed any Taoist disciples, in the eyes of the other party, he actually There is no difference.
When Jiao Yulang saved Yin, he should have used the Qingxuan Taiyi Sect's method. He didn't expect that this seemingly compassionate sect could have such vicious methods and such cruel people.
At the same time, Qi Jingzhi finally confirmed that there was indeed a black evil energy hidden in the black flames of the ink armor of the paper-armored man. In this way, this evil-control method of using paper armor and black flames to protect one's body is somewhat similar to his haze feather coat.
As for the person behind the black donkey spirit who could not speak out because of physical restrictions, it is probably the Nie woman mentioned by Qing Yuanzi.
"Qingxuan Taiyi Sect's refining method is indeed overbearing!"
The green-shirted girl on the side stared closely at the black-and-white paper-armored boy with hair covering his body. She already had a serious look on her face and frowned: "Although this heretic protector spirit is just a meal, it is made by you, a third-level Taoist. How can it be fair to be controlled by a third-level monk?"
"Oh? You little girl do have some eyesight!"
Qing Yuanzi was a little surprised. He immediately flicked his long sleeves and took back the three golden lions outside his body.
"The palace master's Taoism has already reached the third level, with a solid foundation and a bright future. Why should he seek from outsiders and seize other people's treasures?" The girl in green shirt immediately gave another advice as if she hadn't seen him.
Qing Yuanzi snorted angrily, glared at the girl and said, "Other families may be afraid of your Shuifu gods, but I, the Qingxuan Taiyi Sect, are not afraid! If you dare to say more, don't blame me for not giving Qinghong Gong face!"
He pointed at Qi Jingzhi in the distance: "Whether this soul is dead or alive, I'd better see the real chapter under my hands!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the paper-armored boy hanging in the air suddenly opened his eyes and let out a sharp roar. His entire lower body turned into a ball of black smoke. At the same time, both claws came out and rushed towards Qi Jingzhi, bringing with it a pungent smell. wind.
Everyone could clearly see that the tips of its claws were extremely dark, sharp, and faintly flashing with black light.
Almost at the same moment, there was a loud roaring sound, and a bright sword light suddenly appeared in this deep and narrow alley.
Qi Jingzhi held a long sword that was more than three feet long and shaped like a wild goose feather in both hands. He stepped forward resolutely and slashed fiercely. The trembling blade blocked the paper-armored boy's path forward.
On the long knife, which was completely green and had golden scales on its spine, there were strands of green energy spreading rapidly from the handle, revealing all the spirit in his chest. It was not very sharp, but it was awe-inspiring and majestic. There are strict laws and regulations.
The roaring crane washes its wings and keeps its ambition to soar to the sky; flying high and holding it high has the ability to reach the sky!
The pine and cypress trees are covered with snow and frost, towering over the sky. The wind shakes the music of the sheng and bamboo, and the rain lingers in the sky!
"It turns out that the Qi eaten by Shanxia can be used in this way!"
With a sigh of admiration in his heart, Qi Jingzhi pointed his sword, and everyone in the alley felt like they heard the roar of pines and cranes, and felt like they were facing the wind, frost, rain and snow.
The young man grew up in the mountains, watching the wind and listening to the snow for more than ten years, sharpening his knife and sitting there for no apparent length of time. His luck, luck, talent, and talent are all within these five steps, one stroke of the knife!
The paper-armored boy froze suddenly, and a shocking huge knife edge suddenly appeared on his waist. From his right hip to his left shoulder, it was transparent from front to back, and was cut in half diagonally!
It paused for a moment, tilted the upper half of its body, and passed over Qi Jingzhi's left shoulder with all its remaining strength. It flew more than ten feet away before hitting the stone roller with its head, causing a bloody injury.
Looking at the lower half of its body, it actually stayed where it was, being held up in the air by the black smoke. There was thick and dirty blood constantly pouring out from its waist and abdomen. It fell into the black smoke below and disappeared. Instead, the black The smoke is like fuel added to a raging fire, becoming more and more violent.
If the black smoke had intelligence, once it tasted flesh and blood, it would sweep upwards without hesitation.
There wasn't much flesh and blood on this half of the paper-armored boy's body, and it was devoured in the blink of an eye, leaving only a rolling black cloud in the sky.
Through the soul mask, Qi Jingzhi felt extremely strong greed and evil thoughts from this black cloud.
He turned his head slightly and saw that a surging black flame with evil intentions had risen behind him, which suddenly ignited from between the claws of the paper-armored boy.
Amidst the screams, which were too shrill and lifeless, Qi Jingzhi immediately let go of the handle of the knife with his left hand, stretched out his hand like a claw, and thrust straight into the black clouds in front of him.
The black cloud immediately stagnated, then violently shrank inward, disappearing within the palm of his hand in a short time.
This strange scene is quite similar to when Qing Yuanzi was refining the paper-armored man.
Qi Jingzhi retracted his left hand and pressed it on the silver belt around his waist as if unintentionally. He raised his eyes to look at Qing Yuanzi standing at the entrance of the alley.
At this time, the face of the master of Tuanxiang Hall was uncertain, and he looked at Qi Jingzhi with a bit of surprise.
At this moment, everyone's feet were shaking again. When they turned around to look, they saw that the short fat man had stood up at some point. He ignored the blazing black flames beside him and was trying to remove the stain on the back of the stone turtle with both hands. Bloody stone roll.
The girl in green shirt walked over, raised her hand and pressed the short fat man's shoulders, and shouted: "Stop messing around!"
The short fat man didn't answer, and immediately threw up his arms, trying to break away from the girl's hand, but he still couldn't succeed.
Seeing this, Qing Yuanzi sneered and said, "Messenger Daishan, you are not interested anymore. If the commotion gets too big and all the experts in Jiao Mansion are summoned, everyone's face will look bad!"
"Today I am only looking for trouble with this soul. No matter what connection Dai Shan and Peng Ze have in private, I can ignore it! If anyone insists on blocking it again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As he spoke, he walked forward towards Qi Jingzhi, who was standing with a knife in hand.
While suppressing the short fat man, the girl in green shirt turned to look at Qing Yuanzi, her eyebrows furrowed, and her tone was cold: "You said before that you didn't want to deceive others with your realm, but now that heretic protector spirit has been killed with one sword, you You should keep your word and just retreat!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Yuanzi flicked his robe sleeves, raised his head and opened his mouth, pretending to smile. Suddenly his expression changed, and his seemingly clumsy and burly body twisted to the side, and his whole body was pressed against the wall on one side of the alley.
Almost at the next moment, a bloody stream of light with a long tail penetrated diagonally from the top of the alley, rushing past where Qing Yuanzi was standing. If he hadn't been able to dodge, he would have been hit directly on the back of the head by this stream of light.
It was not until this moment that an extremely violent wind followed, causing the wind to roar like a howl and smoke to rise in the narrow alley.
This bloody stream of light was so fast that even if Qi Jingzhi and the girl in green shirt were prepared in advance, they could barely avoid it.
The turbulent and scattered air flow flew everywhere and hit Qi Jingzhi's face, causing him to feel a faint pain.
Under the gazes of the three people who were either angry, surprised or awe-inspiring, the bloody stream of light penetrated directly into the raging black flames, making the sound of gold and iron.
In just an instant, the blood-colored stream of light shot through like a powerful force, but the direction was slightly deflected, and it actually hit the short fat man's right butt from the side.
Immediately I heard a click, which was shocking.
The group of violent black flames swayed and suddenly extinguished, leaving only a handful of black ashes on the spot.
Without the obstruction of the black flames, everyone in the alley could really see clearly that the shocking bloody stream of light turned out to be a feathered arrow with a red shaft and a red tail!
At this moment, the arrowhead had penetrated deeply into the short fat man's right hip, and even the red-painted arrow shaft had not penetrated most of it. The arrow feathers made of blood-colored feathers remained outside, trembling endlessly.
Qing Yuanzi's beard and hair were spread out like an angry lion, with nine-colored rays of light rising all over his body, and three golden lions reappeared.
He turned around and raised his head, looking at where the arrow came from in the distance, and shouted angrily: "Who is it?"
Qi Jingzhi was not far from the short fat man. At a glance, he saw four small words written in gold paint on the shaft of the feathered arrow: "Xin San's Arrow."
Until this moment, the short fat man seemed to finally feel something strange. He looked down with a confused look on his face, and then he discovered the arrow stuck in his butt.
It was stunned for a long time before finally remembering to reach out and pull out the arrow. Looking at its appearance, apart from a slightly angry look on its face, there was no trace of pain at all.
However, that feather
The arrow had penetrated too deep into the flesh, and the poor fat man wasted a long time trying to pull it out. Instead, he broke the arrow shaft with a snap and held half of it in his hand, lost in thought.
After killing the paper-armored boy with one blow, the unknown archer made no move, and seemed to have no hostility towards the other three birthday banquet guests.
Qing Yuanzi watched carefully for a while, then turned around angrily, only to see that except for the Daishan envoy who was either really stupid or not, the other two people in the alley had disappeared.
Before he could get angry and look for it, he saw the short fat man reluctantly glanced at the stone turtle in the pit. Then he covered his butt with one hand and held the arrow shaft with the other. He sank into the soil at his feet and disappeared.
The stone turtle immediately poked its head out of the turtle shell, its mouth slightly opened, and the fresh soil piled outside the pit was automatically backfilled, and in the blink of an eye it was buried again together with most of the stone roll on its back.
At the same time, on a street not far away, Qi Jingzhi held the Yinsha candlestick in his left hand, and grabbed the wrist of the girl in green shirt with his right hand. He was carefully wading through the water with the faint blood light of the Yinsha blood flame. OK.
Under their feet, there was a stream of yellow and red flowing slowly along the street. The water level was so shallow that even the soles of their shoes could not pass through it. The stream did not even look solid at all. Qi Jingzhi lifted the soles of his shoes and took a look. , not even a little wet.
He could clearly feel that he was walking in this shallow stream, much deeper into the netherworld than the last time he was in Yushan.
At first, Qi Jingzhi thought he had stepped into the underworld, until he saw from a distance that the City God's Temple he had passed by also closed its doors to the stream. Then he overturned this conjecture and concluded that the stream under his feet should be the old path of the ancient nest. Manifestation between reality and reality.
Sometimes when it encounters an intersection, the stream will try to branch off into a tributary or even change its entire route. However, without exception, it will be blocked by glowing blue stone warriors or strange beasts, and it can only follow the fixed route honestly. Pass through the city.
"Where will Brother Qi take me?"
The girl in green shirt walking alongside him asked softly, with a leisurely smile in her tone.
Qi Jingzhi turned around and saw that the girl had removed the cover of her appearance at some point. She was wearing a gorgeous aqua dress, with a charming face that seemed to be happy but angry at the same time. She was so beautiful that she forgot all the vulgarity.
Qi Jingzhi smiled dumbly, and the spiritual mask on his face immediately fell off, fluttering down to his waist and blending into his Qiuqi belt.
The red gold knife hanging at his waist turned back into a bead on its own and flew into his arms.
Qi Jingzhi looked at the girl with an apology on his face: "I'm really sorry for putting Miss Mu in danger because of me! That Qing Yuanzi is violent, cruel and capricious, and he may not sell Pengze Water Mansion. face."
When Mu Yingxian heard this, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, and she said jokingly: "I saw Brother Qi's sword reaching the sky, and I said that you are a strong person who would rather break than bend, and you will definitely fight to the death with the master of Tuanxiang Hall! Who would have thought of Brother Qi?" When he was not prepared, he turned around and pulled me away and ran away!"
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but laugh: "When a hunter encounters a ferocious beast in the mountains, he will never fight for his life unless he has to. As a human being, I can draw a bow, poison, trap traps, and attract friends. Ban Keye, why bother fighting with beasts and idiots head-to-head, claws and claws clashing?"
"Miss Mu has already warned me. That Qing Yuanzi is a master of the third level. Although he doesn't know how advanced the third level of Taoism is, he is sure to take advantage of me easily. How can I dare to show off? , of course it’s important to save your life!”
The smile on Mu Yingxian's face grew brighter, she nodded, and asked curiously: "What if we are in a desperate situation and there is no way to retreat or escape?"
Qi Jingzhi's smile did not change, and he answered matter-of-factly without thinking: "Of course it's a matter of running away on a mountain of swords, fisting on a sea of blood, having nails to use nails, teeth to use teeth, fighting to the death for a way out!"
He paused, and suddenly said with emotion: "Speaking of it, it was really dangerous just now! Not to mention the evil-looking Master Tuan Xiang, even the archer outside the alley is much better than me. "
"If my guess is correct, that person is Xin Changji, the evil-warming captain of the Chaozhou Demon-Suppressing Academy. I originally thought his last name was Xin Xin, but I didn't expect that it also has a cursive prefix, which is really rare."
But Mu Yingxian shook her head: "The Xin family is the Xin family, after the surname Si. Since he has become the captain of warding off evil spirits and can shoot such an extraordinary and powerful arrow, in addition to the bows and arrows used are all extraordinary, this Xin San At least he is a character in the third realm."
"It turns out it's not just the manifestation of the mind?"
Qi Jingzhi nodded and couldn't help but sigh: "This time I entered the Jiao Mansion wearing a red gold sword, not only to meet my deceased friend at the birthday banquet, but also to spread the news that the sword changed hands, lest I That friend’s family was implicated for nothing.”
"However, the common man is not guilty, and he is guilty of carrying the treasure. I changed my name and disguised myself, just because I didn't want to cause trouble. I thought that after the birthday party, I would return to my original appearance. Naturally, no one would recognize me anymore. Once I left the city, I would be in the sky and the sea would be vast, leaving no trace. Xun, I didn’t expect that someone would dare to do something in Chaozhou City!”
Hearing this, Mu Yingxian took a deep look at Qi Jingzhi, and her tone was inexplicably strange: "Brother Qi, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, I really wouldn't be able to believe the indomitable and heroic sword intention and the Nine Songs and Eighteen A crooked and delicate heart can actually appear in the same person."
"But then again, Brother Qi's decision is a wise one. Although the master of the Tuanxiang Hall is of poor character, his level of cultivation is really extraordinary. The so-called Tuanxiang is a different species of lion, because it can kill elephants. With this name, it can be seen that among the Taoists of Qingxuan Taiyi Sect, Qing Yuanzi is recognized as being extremely good at fighting."
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words: "Since it's a fight, naturally he has to do everything possible, and his character is extremely advantageous. Well, a lion... Qing Yuanzi happens to have a lion With his appearance and temperament, he is very cruel and cunning, so he is truly worthy of being the master of the Tuanxiang Hall."
Hearing what he said, Mu Yingxian shook her head instead: "His appearance is not a coincidence, or it is very consistent with the Qingxuan Taiyi Sect's Kuanxiang Hall's technique. He laid a solid foundation step by step and finally succeeded in the third realm. By changing his appearance and giving birth to a divine form, this person may simply be a natural alien, reviving the corresponding bloodline after birth. But..."
Mu Yingxian praised Qing Yuanzi for a long time, then suddenly changed the topic: "The character of the master of the Tuanxiang Palace is actually lacking in the most important point. There is a saying in the world, a lion fights an elephant and a rabbit with all its strength, that's easy to say. No matter whether the opponent he faces is strong or weak, he will do his best if he doesn't take action, but if he does, he will do his best. This kind of character is praised as the heart of sincerity, and this kind of mental strength is praised as the power of not being bullied!"
Speaking of this, the beautiful young girl paused for a moment and looked at Qi Jingzhi with admiration in her eyes: "The sword that Brother Qi made just now was quite sincere and not deceiving!"
While they were talking, the two of them had already followed the illusory current of the ancient Chao old road and walked far away, and saw the east gate of Chaozhou City in the distance.
On the top of the city gate, there stood a stone warrior nearly ten feet tall and glowing with blue light.
The soldier lowered his head and looked quietly at the gurgling stream flowing out of the city through the city gate hole.
When Mu Yingxian saw the soldiers at the head of the city, his steps slowed down significantly, and Qi Jingzhi also stopped.
She just chuckled and said warmly: "Brother Qi's previous caution was not entirely useless. From now on, as long as you don't run into Qing Yuanzi face to face, you will naturally have no taboos. By the way, that Xin San may also remember it. It's hard to distinguish between good and evil with the intention of your sword, so Brother Qi should also be careful. As for me..."
Mu Yingxian blinked at Qi Jingzhi, then straightened her pretty face and said in a deep voice, "Brother Qi, don't be too confidant. How could you possibly know that I am not a female devil who is bringing trouble to the world?"
Qi Jing was stunned, and then the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.
He looked at the girl in front of him, and suddenly there was a feeling of reluctance in his heart. He couldn't help but ask: "May I ask this female devil, where is the devil's cave where you are? What if Qi is making great progress on the road of practice? , I suddenly had a sudden impulse and wanted to eliminate a great harm to the people of the world, so where should I go to find my master?"
Hearing this, Mu Yingxian couldn't help but smile knowingly.
She suddenly broke free from Qi Jingzhi's hand and walked out of the range enveloped by the Yinsha blood flames. .z.br>
However, what surprised Qi Jingzhi was that Mu Yingxian did not break away from the gap between yin and yang, and still stood within the current of the ancient nest path.
I saw her lifting
He raised his bright wrist and moved into the stream at his feet. A crimson carp that was as big as a person jumped out from it. It flicked its long tail and brought up thousands of splashes of water.
The red carp swam several times in the air, and finally slowly stopped beside the girl.
There was a green rabbit lying on the top of the red carp, and there was a wine bag hanging on the green rabbit.
Qi Jingzhi ignored the green-haired rabbit whining at him. His eyes had long been attracted by the paper lantern held in Chili's mouth.
He remembered clearly that when he first met Mu Yingxian, the other person was holding this paper lantern in his hand.
At this time, the paper lantern was just like that night, exuding a yellow halo, with clear lotus and red lotus painted on it. Several red carps were swimming and playing under the lotus leaves, but the biggest one seemed to be missing.
Mu Yingxian took the paper lantern from Chi Li's mouth, sat sideways on the fish's back, turned to Qi Jingzhi and smiled brightly: "If you are destined to do so someday, Brother Qi can go to Chi Liyuan on the top of Pianyu Mountain to find me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the red carp flicked its tail, leaped up and swam into the sky with the slender girl on its back.
"As for Pianyu Mountain, when Brother Qi enters the fourth realm, you may find someone to ask for information. If you feel that the mountain is high and the road is far away, and the journey is difficult and dangerous, there is no harm in coming back until the fifth realm."
Mu Yingxian said, reaching out to take off the wine bag from Taowu, opened it and took a sip, then saluted Qi Jingzhi from a distance: "As the saying goes, wine filled with jade, wine with golden pulp! When brother Qi comes, , Yingxian will treat each other with pure jade wine and golden syrup!"
Qi Jingzhi cupped his fists and returned the salute. He raised his head and silently watched the man and the carp flying higher and higher, gradually disappearing into the clouds, and finally disappeared from sight.
"The fourth realm?"
After a long time, the young man suddenly smiled, immediately extinguished the Yinsha candlestick, and strode towards the city gate in front.
