Song Qian was trapped in a tower by a circle of iron chains. His eyes were red and he kept muttering: "I want revenge, I want revenge." He tried his best to break free from the iron chains.
Several Shushan disciples stood around him, chanting incantations and releasing formations. A lot of pure energy came out of the iron ropes to suppress the demonic nature in Song Qian's body. As the fresh air spurted out, the scarlet in Song Qian's eyes gradually faded, and he began to become confused and desperate.
The formation reached its last step, and a long sword made of pure air appeared in the center. It made an uneasy buzzing sound, and was pushed into Song Qian's heart by several disciples. Song Qian spit out a large mouthful of blood, and then felt a tightness in his chest. It hurt, his meridians were locked, and his cultivation level declined until all the true energy in his body was lost.
The stone door of the tower was closed, and Song Qian was trapped inside, motionless, staring blankly at the empty room.
Jing Yu and others decided to go to Shu Mountain to look for Song Qian. They were riding a carriage on the official road. Jing Yu's body was still in a weak state. He was lying in the carriage, while Qiao Xu and Chen Xueyun were sitting on the saddle outside the carriage, each driving a horse.
The road where the wheels passed brought up rolling yellow sand.
Late at night, Song Qian opened his eyes in a daze and found that the stone door had been opened, and a petite figure stood there. His pupils narrowed and he tried desperately to crawl over, but his body was entangled in the iron rope and he was unable to move. Song Qian wasn't sure who the figure in front of him was, but he wanted to think of her as the person in his memory.
"Senior Brother Song, you must be very hungry. I brought some food from the kitchen. You should eat quickly." The soft voice reached Song Qian's ears, and Song Qian's heart calmed down.
It turned out to be the junior sister. This junior sister was worshiped by Song Qian before he came down from the mountain. Shushan originally did not accept many female disciples, but the head acquiesced because of the young junior sister's talent and intelligence.
"Thank you, I'm not hungry." Song Qian crawled back to where he was after learning that the person who came was just a junior sister he had met a few times, "You should leave quickly, it will be over if Master finds out."
The little junior sister pushed the bowl towards the shadow again: "Senior brother, do you feel uncomfortable with the iron chain and don't want to eat? Then I will help you untie it, just for a while, and I will put it on again after you finish eating."
Song Qian instinctively wanted to refuse, but Jing Yu with abdominal bleeding and everyone looking tired came to mind, and he made up his mind: "Then untie it, I happen to be a little hungry."
The junior sister used magic to loosen the iron rope and wanted to pick up the bowl and feed Song Qian herself, but she rolled her eyes and fainted.
Song Qian knocked the little junior sister unconscious, laid her flat on the ground, wolfed down the food, and left quietly in the night.
Beside the campfire, Jing Yu lay flat in the open space and looked up at the stars. The stars gathered together to form a big river across the night sky, like a dream. He found that the starry sky here was very clear.
He kept trying to practice and gather energy on the road. After a series of explorations, he found an extraordinary path. For the first time in so long, Jing Yu's meridians felt swollen and painful, but he liked this feeling very much because he was about to touch the door to the Qi Refining Realm.
The remaining evil spirits in the body were absorbed bit by bit and turned into personal use. However, as Jing Yu's practice deepened, he gradually discovered that his meridians were not true energy, but spiritual energy, which was something only found in the demon clan's meridians. Judging from the previous memory fragments, I may have practiced cultivation before, but I was definitely not a demon.
"Brother Jing, what are you thinking about?" Chen Xueyun sat next to Jing Yu with a bag of water.
Jing Yu sat up cross-legged: "I want to ask you a question, is the Confucian Haoran righteousness a type of true qi?"
"Strictly speaking, Zhenqi is a broad term. In fact, it contains many contents, such as the Qingqi of Taoism and the Zen of Buddhism. This is the result of the integration of the three religions. Before that, the cultivation system was very It's so complicated that even a scholar like me would have a hard time understanding it." Chen Xueyun said with a serious expression.
Jing Yu didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the two sleeping women, then at the melancholy Chen Xueyun, and sighed, "It's great to have you with me."
"Brother Jing said this just to show off. I also want to thank you for your willingness to send me to the capital." Chen Xueyun said.
The temperature dropped sharply in December, and several people had no money to buy clothes. Jing Yu could not lie down in the carriage, so he made room for Chen Xueyun to come in and stay. As a martial artist, Qiao Xu was naturally not afraid of the cold, so he was arranged to sit in the carriage. position. She was about to have a seizure when she saw Jing Yu's still pale cheeks, sighed, and sat outside.
Chen Xueyun asked: "Shu Mountain seems to be built in the air, how should we go up?"
"There must be a teleportation circle." Jing Yu said casually.
The majestic mountain peak stood in mid-air, with rubble suspended in a circle around it. Jing Yu stared at the distant mountain peak in stunned silence, wondering how much mana it would take to support a mountain weighing 10,000 tons. Not only him, but the other three people also kept the same expression, but they all stayed on the ground under the mountainside, and maybe the teleportation circle was among them.
So the four of them headed deep into the mountains.
When the news about Song Qian's escape reached the leader, the leader of Shushan was in a rare angry mood. His voice was cold: "All disciples, go and search at the bottom of the mountain. His cultivation is sealed and he can't run far!"
The junior sister woke up and found herself lying in the house, with two senior brothers sitting next to her who had participated in sealing Song Qian. They watched the junior sister eagerly, hoping to get clues about Song Qian from her.
"I originally planned to deliver food to Senior Brother Song, but he knocked him unconscious. My memory of last night is blurry." The younger junior sister covered her head with a painful expression.
Song Qian's only whereabouts ended here, but the junior sister violated the sect rules and should go to the cliff to reflect for half a month. The leader was eager to catch Song Qian, so there was no punishment.
Song Qian knew that he would be discovered sooner or later if he stayed in the mountains and forests, so he rushed on his way at night. As long as he ran out of the mountain, his life would be safe, and he could go to Baoqi County to find Jing Yu and his party. I really didn't expect that the leader seemed to be impartial and patient with his disciples, but in fact he wanted to imprison this Shushan senior brother indiscriminately.
Could it be that... that year, the master went down the mountain to search for her and secretly silenced his sister? Song Qian was thinking as he ran, and a terrible idea sprouted in his heart. If this was really the case, what was the motive for doing this?
When Jing Yu and others were crawling in the mountains, they accidentally discovered that many Shushan disciples were also patrolling in the mountains, as if they were looking for someone. Jingyu didn't think much about it, thinking it was a monster locked up in Shushan that was escaping, so he turned around and continued walking along the road.
An hour later, several people came to a flat open space, which was the end point of the lower half of the mountain. The section was smooth, like the operation of a precision instrument. There was indeed a magic circle in the center of the flat ground, emitting a light blue halo. The four people walked in, and the blue light flashed and they were teleported to the sea of clouds.
The Shushan sect is majestic. The gate alone is ten feet high. There are sculptures of sword-wielding generals on both sides, and the ground is covered with smooth marble. After passing through the gate, there is a square, about an area of one hectare. Directly opposite the gate is the main hall, backed by a cliff, with white walls and red tiles.
Jing Yu also wanted to visit other buildings, but was stopped by someone, who must be a disciple of Shushan.
"Stop, what are these non-Shushan people doing here?" The disciple pulled out his sword and blocked the way.
Chen Xueyun stood in front of the opponent and gave a fist-cup salute: "Excuse me, this senior brother, where is our senior brother Song now? We are his companions. He has not come out since he returned to Shushan."
"Hmph." The disciple sneered, "Come here! Catch the accomplice!"
In the blink of an eye, a circle of Shushan disciples gathered around the four of them, each holding a long sword and looking serious.
"Accomplice? We are looking for Song Qian, your senior brother. How come he is an accomplice?" Jing Yu couldn't help but ask.
The guard disciple sneered: "He is not our senior brother, he is the scum of Shushan! He deceives his master and destroys his ancestors! The master just locked him up for a few days, and he wanted to escape. This kind of behavior is extremely ridiculous!"
Now it was the four people's turn to wonder. They looked at each other. Why did Song Qian, who was usually carefree and carefree, become like this when he returned to Shushan?
"Senior brother, there must be a misunderstanding. I still believe in Brother Song's character. We can sit down and talk." Chen Xueyun saw that the situation was not right and wanted to communicate peacefully.
Suddenly a Shushan disciple in the team ran to the guard disciple and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, there is a demon among these four!"
"Okay! Let me tell you why Song Qian was absent-minded. It turned out that he was seduced by a demon!" Senior Brother Zhang raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically.
Jing Yu stood in front of Ning Qu and said, "Don't bully others too much! First you slandered Song Qian, then labeled us as accomplices, and now you're targeting demons. I'm sorry you are still an upright person from Shushan. It's simply unreasonable!"
"It turns out it's the little beauty over there. No wonder Song Qian is so obsessed with running away. Little brother, if you hand her over, let me, my senior brother, have to play for a few days. I can consider the lives of the three of you. "Senior Brother Zhang walked slowly to Jing Yu's side, stretched out his fingers to lift Ningqu's chin.
"How dare you touch her!" Jing Yu slapped her, but Senior Brother Zhang dodged it, "Isn't Shushan a pure-hearted person? How come you are such a bastard!"
"Little brother, don't be too angry. If you really want to talk about conditions, you are not qualified." Senior Brother Zhang whispered to Jing Yu, "It's okay if you don't hand over this beauty. Isn't there a smarter one next to that scholar? Although I’d love to taste the succubus, but the girl next door feels good too.”
Chen Xueyun and Jing Yu were furious. However, they were not at a high level and were surrounded by a large number of Shushan disciples, so they could only endure it. Qiao Xu got goosebumps when she caught a glimpse of Senior Brother Zhang's squinting eyes. She glared back at him. Senior Brother Zhang's current appearance reminded her of Chao Zhixin before.
"I have no patience anymore. Just kill them and cripple the two women." Senior Brother Zhang suddenly looked grim.
Jing Yu had already kneaded the talisman and held the spiritual fire gun tightly. Ning Qu behind him also planned to use spells. It didn't matter even if it caused another flood.
The Shushan disciples rushed forward. Jing Yu thrust the talisman paper into Chen Xueyun's hand and asked him to escape first, while he pulled the trigger and shot at the Shushan disciples. For high-level sword cultivators, the power of spiritual fire guns is similar to that of ordinary iron pills, and it can only cause superficial injuries to cultivators with this kind of true energy protection.
Qiao Xu blasted out her fists, knocking away a group of disciples whose realm was equal to hers. Jing Yu took the opportunity to throw out several fireball talismans and two thunder and lightning talismans, and then fled away with Qiao Xu and Ningqu.
Jing Yu's talisman paper was almost used up, and the four of them managed to run to the foot of the mountain without any danger. They quickly drove the carriage, followed by groups of Shushan disciples who stepped on flying swords. However, they only chased them to the foot of the mountain before turning around and going back. .
Baoqi County is too close to Shushan, so the top priority can only be to go deeper into Qingzhou, as far as possible from Shushan. (To be continued)
