Jing Yu was locked up in a small dark room, which was completely dark. There were no windows in this room, which was very frustrating. Jing Yu speculated that this room was originally used as a storage room.
Fortunately, the young man still had some conscience and loosened his restraints. Now Jing Yu's range of activities expanded to the entire room. There are at least two people guarding the door. If you rush out rashly, you may die. Jing Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that his package had not been confiscated. It was a storage artifact given by Gu Danqing. It was the size of a sachet and contained about four cubic meters of space.
Jing Yu currently has a large number of talismans, a fire gun, two temple magic weapons, a flute, and a token. The token might be an object to prove his identity. If he showed the token in front of that young man, would he be thrown into the dark room again or would he be treated as a guest?
Jing Yu held this token in his hand. To be honest, he didn't dare to bet on this probability. After several struggles, he still pocketed it and fell to sleep on the floor.
The young man was now in the center of the ruins, where there was a pavilion. He was sitting at a stone table, playing chess with a demon clan.
Suddenly he stopped the chess piece in his hand, looked back at the sky, and then ordered his servants to bring Jing Yu dinner. It is a great pleasure to continue playing chess with the demon clan.
At this point, Song Qian and others did not dare to stop. They decided to drive all night and strive to reach the Fox Clan ruins within six days. Ning Qu felt increasingly uneasy. She always felt that something was going to happen to Jing Yu. There were no big rivers in Dangzhou, otherwise Ning Qu could show up and swim there in two or three days.
…
Ding Mingsi.
Chen Xueyun was nibbling half a piece of dry steamed bun in the study room. There were two books spread out on the desk and a small plate of pickled mustard on the right. At this time, he was studying this newly purchased spiritual practice book with great interest. The explanation on the movement of the true energy of the meridians of the human body was just right. Many ideas came to Chen Xueyun's mind. He decided to take advantage of the next holiday to go to the weapons inspection room to find those few An old scholar shared.
In the dungeon at the bottom of the tower, Gu Danqing had been chatting with the blue-haired boy for a whole day. In the end, the blue-haired boy kept arguing and begging for mercy. In exchange for Gu Danqing's acquiescence, the boy could come out for about a quarter of a week and could only move around in the tower.
There are three chapters in the agreement: first, do not release all spiritual power; second, do not talk to other people in the tower; third, do not change your true form at will.
After Gu Danqing left, the blue-haired boy let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't want to go shopping on the street, he just wanted to go up to the tower and look at the stars. Stargazing is his best trick. Since Gu Danqing allows him to watch stars, it means that it is time for the world situation to start to change.
In a dark, narrow, confined space, the human brain cannot receive information from the outside world and will become disordered. Jing Yu's biological clock is no longer in line with the normal time of the outside world. Now he is not only learning to gather spirits, but also sleeping, and occasionally entertaining himself with the flute.
After a few days of being groggy, the door to the dark room was finally opened. The young man stood up straight with his back to the sun and his face to the room.
Jing Yu couldn't see the expression on the other person's face clearly, but he always felt that it was a mocking look: "Hey, let it go quickly, I don't have a good attitude towards people like you."
"Want to go out?" The young man ignored Jing Yu's insults and said to himself.
Jing Yu didn't believe that the man in front of him would let him go unconditionally, so he kicked the wall aside: "I don't want to! Get out!"
The young man smiled helplessly and closed the door.
When the footsteps outside the door gradually became quieter, Jing Yu slumped on the ground and muttered to himself.
Song Qian and others finally arrived at the site. Qiao Xu's horse died of overwork on the way. Now Qiao Xu is sitting on Ningqu's horse. Several people got off their horses and ignored the disguise. Ningqu took the lead and the three of them rushed in directly. Ningqu released cold air all over his body, condensing ice picks continuously, cutting off the throats of one guard after another.
Someone in the guard tower discovered their invasion and began to blow the trumpet. More people gathered at the mouth of the mountain gorge, and the two sides began to confront each other. Such a loud movement woke up Jing Yu who was sleeping. He leaned against the wall and listened to the sounds outside.
Most of the guards did not have fifth-level refining gods, and to Ningqu they were just minions who could kill with one strike. She flicked the paper umbrella casually, and gusts of cold wind blew up from the ground. With one hand facing the sky and the other forward, a cumulonimbus cloud gradually formed in the sky. Ice cubes continued to join the palm of the forward hand, forming a long sword.
Ning Qu held the ice sword as if he were in an uninhabited land, and penetrated a group of guards with a simple attack.
Qiao Xu was cleaning up the guards who were still alive, punching and punching.
Jing Yu tentatively pushed open half of the door and saw the three familiar figures from behind. He called loudly, and Ningqu was the first to turn his head and look at the hut. He tapped his toes and floated outside the house. Jing Yu suddenly felt the tip of his nose sore, tears filled his eyes, and he threw himself into Ning Qu's arms.
"What's wrong? Did they hit you?" Ningqu checked Jing Yu's body distressedly and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was intact.
Ning Qu gently wiped away Jing Yu's tears: "As long as it's okay. Don't act alone next time. Remember to call us if something happens."
"I just wanted to come back and look for some clues, but I didn't expect to encounter enemies. Those beasts have already killed many people in the village. I am so weak that I can only hope that you will come soon." Jing Yu burst into tears, and he said angrily Pounding the ground.
Song Qian also followed Ningqu to find Jing Yu, and Qiao Xu was responsible for the sudden attack. Most of the guards had been killed, and Ningqu's robe was stained with blood. Jing Yu couldn't look directly at the sun for a few days because he was locked in a small dark room, so he could only walk with his head down.
Ningqu returned to the main road again, holding the ice sword tightly in his hand, and fought all the way to the pavilion. The young man was playing chess with the air there, sometimes annoyed and sometimes delighted. He looked up and saw Ningqu with an angry look on his face. He shrugged and swept away the chess pieces on the chessboard.
"Are you that dead-eyed companion? Why, do you want to kill me too?" The young man whistled, as if no one was a threat to him.
Ningqu's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. She raised the sword, only a few inches away from the young man's throat. The young man's whistle suddenly stopped. He tilted his neck and looked at the ice sword in front of him. With a snap of his fingers, the young man disappeared and seemed to have escaped.
Jing Yu and others also rushed over, and their hearts finally dropped after seeing the other party retreating. The fox clan ruins were now in a mess, with corpses scattered in the fields and rivers of blood. The survivors gathered in the middle of an open space, the women protected their children, and the elderly gathered around to analyze the current situation.
"Fellow folks! The enemy has been forced back by us! You can go home with confidence!" Jing Yu shouted.
The setting sun was like blood, reflecting on the faces of everyone in Dingmingsi. They sat in a row in silence, staring at the corpses scattered in front of them.
There was an explosion in the valley. Jing Yu raised his head alertly and found a person coming from the sky with light steps and floating in the air. The man had a strong build and well-defined muscles, and looked coldly at the villagers underground. Jing Yu always felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Ningqu was impressed, and she said: "That person was the mysterious person in the field that day."
"What? Why did he come here?" Jing Yu said in disbelief.
The bronze body and indifferent expression are indeed consistent with the mysterious man in the desert. He seemed to have glanced at Jing Yu and the others, and with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, he stepped through the space and came to the front of the four of them. The pressure of the eighth-level vertical and horizontal realm was so strong that Jing Yu spurted blood from his mouth and knelt straight on the ground, unable to move.
Song Qian relied on his willpower to bend down and support himself with the iron sword. Qiao Xu knelt on the ground like Jing Yu, but as a martial artist, she had excellent physical fitness and did not vomit blood. Only Ningqu was not affected. She waved her hand, and countless ice spikes appeared around her, while cumulonimbus clouds in the sky also floated above the mysterious man's head.
"Get up." The man uttered one word, and the ground on both sides cracked instantly, and two earth dragons more than ten feet high rushed out, glaring eagerly.
Jing Yu opened the sachet with difficulty, took out a few talisman papers from it, and threw them to Song Qian, who took them and put them on the back of his head. The iron sword sent out bursts of clear energy, and Song Qian's strength soared, reaching the peak of the sixth-level catastrophe.
Jing Yu then took out two temple instruments, a gilt bowl and a golden Zen robe. He didn't know what the gilded bowl was for, so he just wore Zen clothes around him. Golden gas enveloped his whole body, and Jing Yu felt a hint of warmth. He slowly moved his body and stood up straight.
The mysterious man was a little surprised when he saw Jing Yu's magic weapon, but he continued to release more than a hundred earth dragons. The two sides are at war with each other and are on the verge of breaking out. Jing Yu pulled Qiao Xu back and asked him to cover the evacuation of the villagers. He planned to go with Song Qian and Ning Qu.
The spiritual fire gun is definitely useless. Jing Yu has no intention of taking it out. The specific function of the gilded bowl is unknown. It may also be a defensive weapon. Without thinking much, he threw out a few fireball charms and took the lead in attacking.
The mysterious man chuckled, waved his fingers, and all the earth dragons pounced on the three of them. He curled his fingers and flicked his fingers, and the ice spikes flew up continuously, piercing the body of the earth dragons. The mysterious man summoned curtains of quicksand, which swarmed towards the three of them like a flood. Jing Yu kept throwing out fireball talismans and thunder and lightning talismans in an attempt to cause harm to the man.
Song Qian released his pure energy to block the erosion of the quicksand, rose up with his sword, his green clothes danced, and a layer of green sword energy enveloped the blade. He held the hilt of the sword and slashed horizontally with one move. The light of the sword was like a shadow, and he chopped off several earth dragons one after another. Then Song Qian continued to condense the pure energy, gathered it on the sword body, and attached a larger sword shadow to the outside of the iron sword.
With his right hand, he made a sword finger and swung it diagonally downward. The giant sword fell down and opened a path directly in the quicksand. Song Qian stepped into the void and came to the mysterious man, a cold light suddenly appeared. Jing Yu couldn't see clearly the figures of the two people, and could only hear the sound of hammering and the sound of metal breaking.
Song Qian took half a step back, covered his chest, and spit out a mouthful of blood. At some point, only half of the iron sword in his hand was left. Seeing this situation, Ningqu threw an ice sword to him and used it as a makeshift. Song Qian used the split sword technique, twisting the sword blade, and in an instant more than ten ice swords appeared in front of him.
He looked at the mysterious man provocatively, used Qing Kung Fu, and disappeared, leaving only the ice sword flying forward.
Ningqu also used all her strength to cover for Song Qian. She spread her arms and several ice dragons appeared behind her. She imitated the mysterious man and summoned the ice dragon to attack. The ice dragon and the earth dragon bit each other, and the resulting spiritual energy fluctuations directly blew Jing Yu away. The Zen clothes on his body did not have much effect.
Under the protection of Qiao Xu, the villagers ran to the gorge and prepared to go out. The mysterious man caught a glimpse of this scene, and with a wave of his hand, the boulder on the gorge fell down, blocking the way. Qiao Xu was not strong enough to move, so he could only protect everyone behind him.
Song Qian has not appeared for a long time. Ningqu's spiritual power is not sufficient. Her foundation is weak and she cannot support it for long. Jing Yu's talisman bottomed out again, and he had no choice but to knock on the gilded bowl, hoping that the magic weapon would be activated.
When he was unable to do anything, Song Qian took action. He stood upright, holding an ice sword in his hand, and rushed towards the mysterious man Tianling Gai from top to bottom. The surroundings were majestic and the sword was awe-inspiring. This was the sword he used to gather his sword power, and it was his new move after getting rid of his inner demons. Song Qian actually didn't learn Shushan swordsmanship very much, and mostly used martial arts moves. Now he regrets a little. If he had known better, he would have mastered Shushan swordsmanship, so that he could easily defeat monsters when he encountered them.
The mysterious man didn't seem to notice the movement above his head and was only focused on fighting against Ningqu.
Song Qian felt that he was going to succeed, and Jing Yu thought so too... The truth was often not as expected. The mysterious man didn't pay attention to Song Qian at all, so he didn't care. He held it with his bare hands. Song Qian's sword intention collapsed, and Bing The sword shattered and Song Qian flew backwards more than ten feet away.
Ningqu was exhausted. She gasped for air and used the ice pick attack with difficulty.
Just when Jing Yu thought he might die again, the paralyzed man came to the rescue in time. He threw out two scimitars, like a bright moon, from which Jing Yu heard the sound of pipa and harp. The scimitar easily passed through the sand curtain and flew to the mysterious man's chest, leaving a clear line of blood.
"Finally... caught up." Ruan Se caught Song Qian.
Jing Yu looked at the other party gratefully. Ruan Se, who was usually stern and unsmiling, still valued friendship. Even if it was only for a few days, he would still take it to heart.
The mysterious man raised his eyebrows, looked down at the blood line, wiped away the blood with his index finger, and tasted it in his mouth.
Ningqu also retreated to a peach tree, collapsed on the ground, and recovered his spiritual power. Ruan Se burst out with an aura that was close to the seventh-level consciousness, and two scimitars were suspended by his ears. Jing Yu looked at his back and thought of Qiao Wutong who was far away in the capital. He was a real seventh-level martial artist. He might be able to fight with this mysterious eighth-level demon man.
The scimitar kept turning, making a pleasant chirp. Ruan Se's arms shook, and the scimitar made a musical sound. This is a technique from the Western Regions - using music to complement martial arts.
Ruan Se plucked the scimitar, just like plucking the strings of a piano, changing from rapid to slow, and then to a pause. At the moment of pause, he and the mysterious man took action at the same time. Ruan Se held a scimitar in his hand and looked like a swimming dragon, diving into the quicksand. The beating of drums can be heard in the distance, which is also a kind of music. The scimitar attacks in rhythm with the drums.
The mysterious man put his palms together, the sky and the earth changed color, a tornado rose from the ground, and the violent wind pressure rolled up the surrounding houses and sand. Ruan Se, who was swimming in the quicksand, hesitated and was almost sucked into the tornado. He stepped on the scimitar and left quickly.
A look of anger appeared on the mysterious man's face, and he summoned five tornadoes, turning the entire ruins into ruins.
"Damn it, doesn't he only use sand?" Jing Yu was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he couldn't speak clearly.
Ruan Se flashed to Jing Yu's side: "I...can't...this person...is not strong enough."
Seeing that the mysterious man was about to take action, a blue-haired boy stood gracefully, a shadow. He sat cross-legged in the air with a sad look on his face. With a tap of two fingers, a string of stars appeared in the sky, and then he pulled it, and the stars sprinkled lightly on the ground, forming a halo.
In the blink of an eye, half of the mysterious man's body disintegrated, and his flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The blue-haired boy yawned: "Well, it's not a good time to kill people today, so get out of here."
The mysterious man did not expect that the other party would find such help, so he escaped into the sand and retreated again.
From the beginning to the end, the blue-haired boy did not look back at Jing Yu and others. The shadows disappeared, and only a voice hovered in the air: "It's a good time to save people today."
After half a month's rest, everyone in the Dingming Division returned home. After that day, the Fox clan had nowhere to go, so Ruan Se had no choice but to take a step back. He moved his women and children to Ganshui County and joined the Shang family.
Chen Xueyun called Song Qian to the weapons supervisor. He seemed to have figured out how to break the seal, but it just required experiments. Jing Yu found the head of the Shang family and explained to him the situation in Dangzhou, but Shang Yushan just sighed. However, the whereabouts of the fox girl have been found out, and she seems to be in a certain music studio in the capital.
Jing Yu accompanied the head of the Shang family to search for the fox girl, and came to a music studio with the word "Sound of Nature" written on the plaque. As soon as you enter, you can hear the lingering sound of mountains and flowing water. A large number of tea drinkers gathered in front of a graceful lady and listened to the lady's playing.
When Shang Yushan saw the face of the piano girl, tears filled his eyes. Jing Yu held him and waited until the performance was over. When I came to the backyard of the music studio, I saw the piano girl, who was dressing up in front of the bronze mirror.
"Is that you? Deng Ru?" Shang Yushan called softly.
When Qin Nu heard the familiar voice and the familiar but unused real name for a long time, she suddenly fell into a trance. She turned around and saw that it was still the talented man from the Shang family, the Shang Yushan who was obsessed with love under the peach blossom tree.
The fox girl looked away and turned her head to the side: "Why are you here?"
"Why did you leave without saying goodbye? Why didn't you even leave me any news? I thought you were buried in a sea of blood." The head of the Shang family said excitedly.
"I am a sinner. I have no face to face my relatives, let alone my lover. Those forces are an emerging force in the north. They have deals with the demon country, but they do not obey the demon country's orders. I joined them a long time ago, They long for all races to live together, but..." At this point, Deng Ru lowered his head, "These people are not for the so-called peace at all. They want to eradicate dissidents, annex the world, and long for power and strength. Anyone who resists them will All races will be massacred by them. But I was deceived and still immersed in my dreams, so I led them the way. They promised to lead the northern fox tribe to regain their strength and become prosperous."
"So when you saw your companions being plundered and slaughtered, and your home shattered, you didn't dare to face the crowd and felt guilty, but you didn't want to get blood on your hands. When the news came out that you had faked your death, you fled to the capital to settle down." Jing Yu left the door. Walk out slowly.
Deng Ru nodded.
Jing Yu tied Deng Ru's hands with a rope: "I am Sicheng of Dingming Division, and I am here to apprehend the demon criminals! Follow me back to Dingming Division and obey your orders!" (To be continued)
