In a forest outside Yingze City, a river like a silver snake silently merged into the rushing river.
It is already the season of autumn, and people have begun to feel a bit of coolness and wrap themselves up unconsciously.
In the woods outside the city, there is another scene - Happy Together! ! !
A vulgar person who is dressed well but shows no temperament at all, like a windfall from heaven, wants to use expensive clothes to immediately cover up his poverty and innate vulgarity.
Even if he is over fifty, his vulgarity is still evident.
By the river, a thin little foot stretched into the cooling water.
The clothes on his upper body slipped off and landed on the shore.
The old man whose clothes did not match his temperament just stared at it without any trouble, as if he was looking at an ordinary piece of porcelain.
Turning his back to the old man, he looked back worriedly. Then he picked up a handful of water, slowly adjusted to the temperature of the water, and slid it from his shoulders.
He also compared his hands to lotus flowers, and the water exposed between his fingers flowed gently through his chest.
When the body gradually adapts to the water temperature, the body like a short-tailed water snake touches the water like a withered narcissus.
Sitting cross-legged in the water with her thin legs, she tilted her delicate head and gently rubbed her dry long hair.
The bits and pieces floating on the water are the water droplets that I didn't have time to take care of because I was on my way, so I accidentally got them on my head.
The tiredness and brokenness of the body were separated from the body at this moment.
With the passing of the long river, it no longer exists, and there are no so-called shackles.
He stretched out his arms to measure the vastness of the world, climbed the mountain, and despised the insignificance of all living things.
I am not a strong person who cares about the world, I am just a sentient being who despises the weak.
I was not born as a filthy person on the top of the mountain. I am an alien from all ages. I used up my last breath just to live.
Why didn't I come at the right time?
I just feel that it is spring again, and the spring rain is as precious as oil.
This moment is a new beginning, the beginning of breaking free from the shackles, the beginning of taking control of one's own destiny, the beginning of picking up dignity, the beginning of extreme cruelty, the beginning of the survival of the strong, the beginning of hiding a knife in a smile, and the beginning of selfishness. The beginning of profit is the beginning of inhumanity, the beginning of loneliness at night...
This is also the beginning of the story...!
My calloused feet stood on the grass hanging with water drops, and a drop of water fell to the ground along the traces.
He tied up his hair that was covered with river water with both hands, folded off the branches on the side, and fixed it like a hairpin, then combed the hair in front of his forehead forward, like a little Taoist priest.
Wiping off the water droplets on his body with his old clothes, he put on the gray clothes solemnly, holding the tight belt with both hands, and stared at the endless flow of water going east.
After putting on the cloth shoes, he stood up gently, reached out and patted the non-existent dust on his clothes.
Then he stepped out gently and walked towards Zhang Ge.
The slanting light and shadow that penetrated through the treetops shone on Dong Qingqiu, making him look like a little Taoist practicing hard on the mountain. Although he does not have a purple gold crown on his head, he is wearing a purple gold suit and a purple gold gentleman's belt around his waist.
Zhang Ge had a cold face, not showing any signs of joy, but he was more convinced of his thoughts, which made people feel murderous intent even before they were revealed.
"Xiao Qiuzi, don't tell me, your dress is no different from those Taoist priests on the mountain." Zhang Ge suddenly changed his tone: "They are all so disgusting."
"Snapped"
A few sparrows resting on the treetops fluttered their wings. Dong Qingqiu covered his face and watched the water droplets dripping from his hair that was not dry, hitting the ground, and then being smashed to pieces.
A slap that contained the power of cutting off ancestral bones startled all the surrounding birds and beasts and fled in all directions.
Dong Qingqiu's head seemed to be shattered instantly and turned into a puddle of mud.
The hair that had been dressed just now was disheveled again.
"master……"
Before Dong Qingqiu could finish speaking, his whole body flew backwards and hit a big tree hard. A mouthful of blood that he had tried to swallow spurted out.
The ancestral bone in Zhang Ke's hand turned around and appeared in front of Dong Qingqiu! Without waiting for the ground, he kicked him out again.
A long ditch was carved out in the overgrown woods, and Dong Qingqiu almost fainted.
Zhang Ge, who had appeared behind him, stepped on his head, and half of his face sank deeply into the soil.
"Who are you anyway? Are you in the same group as that person just now?"
Zhang Ge, who was almost insane, Dong Qingqiu moved his eyes slightly, ignoring the murderous face, and sneered: "What, you are also afraid of death?"
Ignoring Zhang Li's twitching face, Dong Qingqiu said to himself: "I didn't expect to be discovered by you! Yes, I am in the same group as that person just now, and we are all here to kill you." Looking at Zhang Li, he became more and more angry With a murderous look on his face, Dong Qingqiu still pretended not to care: "Counting the time, it's almost here."
"So, why don't you take your stinky feet away now? Do you want me to do it myself?"
"And I can give you a chance, a chance to live. A chance to join the avenue."
Dong Qingqiu's calm appearance fully showed his inner panic, but he soon realized that he had been living in fear all year round, and would go insane as long as he was disturbed by any disturbance.
Coupled with his uncharacteristic appearance, no matter how well he hides it, no one will believe it and doubt him as long as there is a trace of doubt about a person living in life and death.
Even people who spend time with him will kill him.
So now I can only pretend to be the person Zhang Ke fears most to fight for a chance of survival for myself.
Zhang Li just laughed when he heard this: "You are a dead dog. You still want to lie to me. I won't be fooled. I will kill you right now."
"Yes, I will kill you right now! Then no one will know." Zhang Ge paced back and forth, muttering to himself.
"Oh? You can try to see if I am the person you are talking about. Or you can think about it, is there really any coincidence? Just after you escaped, you met "me" who had just lost his parents? Stupid Just think about it carefully!"
"Now, why don't you contribute the ancestral bones you stole? Come back with me to accept the punishment."
I couldn't wait for a response. I just looked sideways and almost scared myself to death.
Seeing that Zhang Li had raised the ancestral bone high, he was about to smash it down on his head.
Dong Qingqiu closed his eyes tightly, never expecting that Zhang Li would really kill him.
Could it be that he has violated the laws of heaven and changed some laws, and he is destined not to live?
Suddenly, Dong Qingqiu opened his eyes, ignoring the mud in one eye, gritting his teeth, trying to break free.
No, I finally came back, I can't just die like this.
I want to live, and I want to make those who bullied me pay the price.
No one can stop me, the path to eternal life is right in front of me.
A huge pressure burst out from the bottom of his heart. He slowly stood up with his hands and let out an unwilling roar.
"ah!"
"Zhang Ge, I want you to die!" After saying that, his hands suddenly exerted force, and a powerful force swept over him, making him even more unable to move, and his head would split at any time.
Dong Qingqiu, who was unconscious and bleeding from his mouth and nose, suddenly felt that the pressure on his head was no longer there, and his heart became as quiet as death.
Just when he was resigned to his fate, the inner lake that was already filled with despair suddenly swept away.
The last unspeakable feeling in my heart instantly filled my body, and my eyes were already bloodshot.
boom! ! !
A deep pit was smashed under Zhang Li's feet, and there was not a trace of blood mixed in the dust that was shaken.
There were no bloody corpses in the deep pit in front of him.
Just a big empty pit.
Zhang Ge looked at the moving black spots in the corners of his eyes.
Dong Qingqiu, who was struggling painfully on the ground, was no different from the maggots writhing in the toilet in Zhang Li's eyes.
"You're really capable, you can actually survive from the Jiezu Bone." Zhang Ge walked towards Dong Qingqiu, who was knocked away by the Jiezu Bone, like a dead man: "I just shrank my feet quickly, allowing you to escape by chance. Don't worry, Not this time."
Dong Qingqiu's face was filled with horror as he looked at Zhang Ge walking towards him, his body twisting and thrashing on the ground.
But my legs felt nothing and were trembling in place.
He crawled forward with his hands tightly trying to get away from that madman.
Zhang Li kicked Dong Qingqiu over and looked at the young man in front of him who had been following him for a long time with his lifeless eyes.
The next moment, Jie Zugu was raised high and hit Dong Qingqiu's knee hard.
Dong Qingqiu was immediately pained to death. There was a bloody puddle on his left leg, and his knee was smashed to pieces.
Zhang Li stepped forward to kill Dong Qingqiu to avoid any trouble.
But he felt that he had lied to himself for so long, so he couldn't let him die too easily.
So he used the bones of his ancestors to awaken Dong Qingqiu, just to make him watch him die in fear.
This is considered unprecedented.
The withered hand strangled his neck, eye level with him.
"Xiao Qiuzi! Don't take the right path in your next life."
His fingers slowly exerted force, his neck kept making snapping noises, and he muttered something vaguely. Blood flowed out in large amounts from his half-open mouth, and dripped down Zhang Li's palm to the ground.
"Zhang Ge, you will die worse than me, hahaha." Dong Qingqiu choked on a mouthful of blood and coughed violently.
"Then wait for me on Huangquan Road."
With a quick twist of his wrist, Dong Qingqiu lowered his head, leaving almost only a weak flat breath.
At this time, a rumbling sound came from thousands of miles away and rushed here quickly.
Appeared suddenly with thick white fog?
Zhang Li's small eyes doubled in size, and he kept looking around in a disorderly manner.
He looked panicked and shouted: "Here he comes! The devil is here! Come here! I'm not afraid of you. You are all hypocrites."
Zhang Ge felt dizzy, the world was spinning, and his ears were ringing.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly jumped like a flea, and the thick earth began to crack rapidly like turtle patterns, and continued to extend forward.
The ground began to shake violently.
The big trees were as silent as cicadas, and they dropped their leaves one after another and were wrapped in the cold air. When they fell to the ground, they were already pieces of ice.
Zhang Ke held Dong Qingqiu in one hand and Jie Zugu in the other hand, which he was wary of.
The ground beneath his feet shook up and down, and Zhang Ke felt top-heavy and about to fall to the ground.
Zhang Li grabbed Dong Qingqiu, lifted him up high, and threw him to the ground. He fell on top of him to prevent himself from being bumped.
Dong Qingqiu, who had already died, was thrown hard by Zhang Ke. The force generated by his body hitting the ground restored the broken bones just right, allowing his heart that had stopped to breathe again.
Zhang Ge, who was holding the Jiezu bone and trying to escape, felt something dragging his feet, and most of his body fell backwards.
"Zhang Ge, I told you that you will die worse than me. Is it miserable to die in hope?"
Dong Qingqiu is really like a wild dog now, biting Zhang Ge's leg, holding on tightly with both hands and refusing to let go.
Zhang Li exerted force with his right foot, and the powerful impact bounced off Dong Qingqiu who refused to let go like a dog-skin plaster.
Kicked into the air.
Zhang Ge raised his arms high, then lowered them.
Dong Qingqiu was like a stray dog. A small bloody hole was torn open in his stomach, and his whole body was pulled backwards by inertia.
I was about to ask for mercy...
He suddenly froze and looked ahead in panic, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Dong Qingqiu felt inexplicably frightened and wanted to run for his life.
But he was already half-dead, so why not just hold Zhang Ge on his back? What a loss?
Then, he watched helplessly as the white mist invaded towards him.
Real death comes quietly.
A chill quickly invaded from all around.
Dong Qingqiu struggled desperately, so Zhang Ge, who was already unsteady on his feet, could only use one hand to rush towards a big tree.
Dong Qingqiu couldn't believe that Zhang Li actually wanted to tear out his intestines.
Unable to move.
With his feet frozen in place, Zhang Ge looked like a funny donkey, with one hand frozen to the ground and the other pulled on a piece of intestine. .
Dong Qingqiu is like a woman in a brothel, with her waist hunched over and her hands on the ground as she is being plundered by the guests. Her hands and one leg are firmly supporting the ground, struggling to support her butt that does not want to fall to the ground. She is like a romantic woman. The red rope on the slender waist wants to maintain the last bit of respect.
The entire forest seemed to be surrounded by sea fog on the sea, and it was swallowed up quickly with the roar of the storm, instantly wrapping the two of them in it, making them unable to move.
Blocking out the sky and blocking out the sun, Tengu eating the sun makes people panic.
"Ordinary people who disturb the immortals will be punished!"
Out of the frighteningly white fog, a figure more than three feet tall, wearing golden armor and holding a golden mace, lay on his shoulder with a roaring tabby cat, as if it could tear the two of them to pieces in the next moment.
There is a tiger-shaped breast mirror inlaid on the golden armor on the chest, and wisps of golden smoke emit from the golden eyes, which is extremely majestic, as if a god has descended to earth.
Every time the golden-armored god takes a step forward, the earth trembles, and the tabby cat on his shoulder makes a horrifying cry.
"A bold mortal dares to disturb an immortal. His crime is unforgivable."
Zhang Li turned around in panic and looked at the golden-armored god behind him. Hearing this, he knelt down in panic. Even though his knees were frozen as soon as they touched the ground, he hurriedly explained: "The villain deserves to die. I know my mistake. I hope the immortal can forgive me." . Don’t take me back.” After saying that, he started crying while holding his nose.
It was obvious that the place Zhang Li mentioned was extremely terrifying to me.
Dong Qingqiu stretched his neck as much as possible to look at the golden-armored god in front of him, he was very familiar with it.
This kind of gold-armored mace holder is the gatekeeper of the Great Immortal Sect on the mountain. Many of them don't know how to think. They just look similar to humans. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are like a piece of iron and stone.
The golden armor holders on each mountain are different. For example: the golden armor mace holder in Longhu Mountain is infused with thunder magic, and has huge killing power. Evil spirits within a hundred miles radius dare not approach, and it can even kill Taoist immortals of four levels and below; while the golden armor mace holder in Wudang Mountain It is called the Great General of Water and Fire. Legend has it that it was left behind by Emperor Zhenwu when he ascended. It is actually refined from yin and yang. It can be used to rest and move, nourishing the mountain gate with excellent feng shui. It can also be used both offensively and defensively. Due to the extreme difficulty, there are less than two in total in Wudang Mountain; as for the golden armor holder in front of him, he seems to be a product of Houmu Mountain. With the earth as its foundation, it is indestructible, not afraid of water and fire, and has great strength. But without intelligence, he can only charge with brute force.
Dong Qingqiu's heart flashed, and he decided to take a gamble and let the blood flow out.
"Zhang Ge, why don't you return the bones of your ancestors in front of the True Lord? I miss my old love so much that I can save you from death and not be held accountable."
Zhang Ke glanced at Dong Qingqiu with a disheveled face, and then at the golden armor wielder who was approaching step by step.
Undecided.
At this time, Dong Qingqiu became furious: "Do you want to die? Don't blame me for being unkind. I tell you, what I have cultivated is the road to relieve suffering. It's up to you whether you live or not!"
Looking at Dong Qingqiu, whose face was covered with blood and who was hunched over and screaming desperately.
Zhang Li, who was already unconscious, became even more confused.
"Zhang Ge, you are already dead. Why don't you believe me?"
Seeing the hesitant Zhang Li and his increasingly weak aura, Dong Qingqiu glared at Zhang Li unwillingly, the anger in his eyes seemed to want to devour Zhang Li in the next moment.
"Okay, okay, I will return the bones of my ancestor right now. I hope the immortal will not forget the past grudges and save my life in front of the ancestor." There were tears in his eyes, and his withered body was crumbling.
Seeing Zhang Li handing the bones of his ancestors to him, his originally despairing mood suddenly revived.
Zhang Li, however, froze on the spot and looked at himself.
Dong Qingqiu, who thought he had been exposed, realized that his hands were blocked by ice and could not catch the ancestor bones that were in front of him.
I hate it! The great opportunity is clearly right in front of us.
But he just couldn't catch it.
Dong Qingqiu's eyes flashed with fierceness, he gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and exerted force with his right hand.
Zhang Ge looked at the hand skin left on the ice, his throat rolling.
Looking at Zhang Ge who was still indifferent, Dong Qingqiu endured the pain and stretched out his palm with clearly visible bones.
Only then did Zhang Li come back to his senses.
Just when Dong Qingqiu caught Jiezu's bones, Zhang Ge suddenly looked back.
Seeing the golden-armored god who had already raised his golden mace, he waved the golden mace and hit him.
Zhang Li subconsciously retracted his hand to resist.
When Dong Qingqiu saw this, his eyes almost bulged out in shock. He looked at the huge golden mace falling in panic, and his liver and gallbladder were split with fear.
I kept complaining in my heart: It was just a little bit close, just a little bit close! There is no hope.
The ancestral bone in Zhang Ke's hand incredibly withstood the giant mace of the golden-armored mace wielder.
The ice underfoot was also shattered.
Although he blocked the blow, blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Zhang Ge was like a dog that was cornered by people. After begging for mercy in vain, he could only bite as hard as he could.
Take the initiative to attack the golden armored god.
Dong Qingqiu also used too much force, causing blood to accumulate in his lungs. He lost too much blood and suffered from severe pain in his palms, which went straight to his heart and passed out.
Finally, in the blurry vision, I seemed to see a huge sword suddenly appearing in the other hand of the golden armor wielder, cutting off Zhang Li's arm.
Looking at his arms rolling in the air, Dong Qingqiu suddenly wanted to say something at the end of his life.
It’s not a loss either.
"There's no hope."
He roared with all his strength, but Dong Qingqiu no longer had the strength to close his mouth, unwilling to die.
Zhang Ge howled like a ghost and covered his broken arm, crying and struggling on the ground.
The golden-armored mace holder raised the golden mace in his hand again and hit it with a bang.
In an instant, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and smoke filled the woods and lingered for a long time.
An indescribable sound, a loud and small wailing constantly surrounded his ears.
Dong Qingqiu, who was originally dead, found that he could still hear the outside world.
So I tried to open my eyes and look for the sound.
He saw dust flying around him, the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling one after another, and a huge figure holding a soul flag walking towards him.
A guide to the underworld? Sure enough I died.
Doesn’t it mean that people feel relaxed after death? Why am I so unwilling.
My life should not be like this.
I am like dust on the ground. No matter who passes by, I will be picked up and go to another strange place.
I am hiding here and there like a mouse, but I am not willing to be ordinary.
When I walk out of the dark nest again, there are ants under my feet. If I don't pay attention, I will be trampled to death.
Why do those guys who are called evil cultivators all have a straight face? Shouldn't such chicness mean a constant smile? Why are you feared by the pretentious Taoist Immortal? If possible, I choose not to smile and just stand alive.
The dust in front of me was undulating more and more intensely, making people want to sneeze.
"Ah sneeze!!!"
Dong Qingqiu was stunned, and so was the huge figure covered in dust.
The figure in the dust slowly turned around and walked towards him without any warning.
Dong Qingqiu, who was still feeling deep sadness and couldn't help himself, was choked with sobs, and looked at the thing stuck in his stomach with a confused expression.
He was overjoyed in his heart and couldn't hide the joy on his face: "Hey! Cut off the ancestor's bones. Hey! I'm not dead yet."
I was so happy that I didn't forget to see where the damn Zhang Li had gone?
The blurry figure became clearer and clearer, Dong Qingqiu hurriedly lay on the ground and continued to pretend to be dead, while hiding the ancestor's bones behind him to quietly heal his injuries.
The pain that was originally heartbreaking disappeared, and only a wave of joy rushed into my heart.
The golden armor wielder looked around, and when he saw no change, he turned around and disappeared into the dusty white mist.
Dong Qingqiu couldn't bear it anymore, and the smile on his face bloomed freely.
Quietly feel the changes in your body.
His body, which was originally in tatters, is quickly returning to its original state.
Dong Qingqiu, who was addicted to death and rebirth, felt more and more happy when he heard Zhang Ge's hoarse voice of panic.
I feel that the recovery from the injury is more effective with twice the result with half the effort, a two-pronged approach.
"Ouch! What did I say? You will die worse than me. Hey! It worked. Not only did I predict the future, but I also followed my words. Zhang Li, rest assured and go on your way! You don't have to wait for me."
Dong Qingqiu, who was already able to move his body, crossed his legs and gloated over the only time he heard Zhang Li's pleasant voice.
"You still want to take me with you after you die, is this not..."
When Dong Qingqiu thought of this, he seemed to have thought of something terrifying. His face that could not hide his smile just now suddenly became extremely stiff.
"Keep someone under your sword! No, keep someone under your mace."
"Oh! Let's fight."
There was another earth-shaking shock, and the golden armor wielder looked at the empty pit with golden light in his eyes, and slowly looked to the side, where the young man was dragging his broken leg and slapping Zhang Li.
"Remember Zhang Ge, the person who saved you is named Dong Qingqiu." After saying that, he disappeared from the spot and kicked the broad back of the golden armor wielder.
And Zhang Li was stunned on the spot, unable to recover from the figure just now for a long time.
That is a kind of condescension by the strong and contempt for all living beings.
From that side of his face, Zhang Ke still refused to believe that it was the aura emanating from Dong Qingqiu, a kind of helplessness as if facing death.
Zhang Ge was angry, and a jealous heart suddenly bloomed. I don't have it, and you can't have it either.
Zhang Ge, who was lying on the ground in despair, laughed and tried to stand up from the ground. In the end, he just tried his best to stand up straight with his rickety body.
When a kick was about to hit his back, he subconsciously looked to one side.
It was also in this gap that the golden armor wielder turned sideways to block a blow with his arm, then suddenly turned around and used the other hand to grab Dong Qingqiu, who wanted to use his strength to distance himself.
He lifted his leg with two fingers and looked at Dong Qingqiu, who was like an ant in front of him, shaking.
He threw it away hard, but the golden-armored god was extremely angry. He saw Dong Qingqiu standing on one foot and slowly opened his eyes.
"Dong Qingqiu! I don't care who you are? You can never escape my grasp."
Without waiting for a response, he hit the ground.
"Zhang Ge!"
Dong Qingqiu roared angrily, stepped on a pit with his feet, and shot towards Zhang Ke.
The golden mace in the hand of the golden-armored god also flew towards Dong Qingqiu at high speed.
The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.
A powerful and majestic force appeared between the two people, and the huge shock wave generated sent the two people flying dozens of meters away.
The golden mace returned to the hands of the golden-armored god, and he knelt down respectfully and bowed to a certain place: "Welcome Chengtian to follow the example of the empress Tuhuangdi who reincarnated the fairy with wonderful methods to save suffering and bring virtue to all sentient beings."
Dong Qingqiu, who was still surprised, looked tense until the golden-armored god finished reciting the name and stood there stunned, unable to believe it.
Zhang Ge, who could no longer care whether he was dead or alive, turned around and wanted to hide in the dense forest.
Almost as soon as this idea came to his mind, he could hardly move his whole body, leaving only a pair of fearful little eyes that kept looking around.
It wasn't until a few breaths that a water curtain appeared not far from everyone.
A sound that is as crisp and sweet as the melting of ice water in early spring or the collision of flowing springs in the mountains. It's like the earth's thickness is reassuring.
"The martyrs of Houmu Mountain please rise."
