Chapter 156 154. The Fourth Grade is Abnormal, Returning to Shanbao County (Big Chapter - Subscribe)
Blood flowed like rivers, but not on the ground, but in mid-air.

Streams of red and viscous liquid came from all directions, and penetrated into the eerie black and white long sword.

The long sword is like a greedy sponge, absorbing all the blood, and becoming more and more cold and scorching.

The woman in white holding the sword had cold eyes and was spotless, not even a speck of blood stained her slightly swaying skirt.

The war is over.

Having the fourth grade and not having the fourth grade are completely different things.

At the moment of Peng Mi's defeat, the ending was already settled.

The invasion of the Black Lotus Sect failed, and besides Peng Mi, another fifth rank of the Red Lotus also died under Gu Xuejian's sword.
The Lotus Sect already had few people, so this counterattack was a blow to them.

At this moment, the woman in white was suspended in the air, and the blood lines all over her body seemed to be "sucked to the end of the noodles", completely disappearing in the sword body.

The blood is not only from the enemy, but also from our own people.

This sword not only killed the enemy, but also killed his own people.

Because as long as it is blood, it will suck.

Although Gu Xuejian tried to change to another sword during the battle, this black and white sword refused to "return its sheath" because it was too "excited".

Swords have spirits.

This sword is full of demons.

It is a demon that does not distinguish between good and evil, friend or foe, and has no choice but to devour blood. It is a demon that even its master cannot rein in.

Gu Xue didn't even know how that Master Li forged such a terrifying weapon.

"This is a magic sword."

She made a pertinent evaluation, and let herself go up into the air as much as possible, so that this "blood-drinking area" was off the ground, so as not to accidentally injure friendly troops.

Jing Ruyi flew into the sky, looked at the woman in white who looked like a fairy and a demon at this time, and said respectfully: "My lord, the war has come to an end, we have seriously injured the sixth-rank nine people, and the sixth-rank three people have fallen. Please, Gu Dian The Lord directs."

Seeing that Gu Xue wanted to give instructions, but suddenly she looked at the sword in her hand, and felt an inexplicable awe and impulse in her heart, so she raised the black and white swords.

Jing Ruyi's breathing slowed down a beat.

The sword made a deep impression on him.

Even the moment he raised his sword, he would subconsciously feel fear.

Gu Xue asked: "This sword is better than the sword, which one is stronger?"

Jing Ruyi was silent for a while, and he felt some inexplicable bitterness in his heart. If it was any other place, he would have praised the aunt directly, but he had witnessed the casting process of the ghost knife on his waist with his own eyes. The spirit of the teacher was affected.

This knife is honored.

He can bow his head, but this knife never can.
Therefore, Jing Ruyi replied: "It is Ruyi who is not as good as the palace master, there are too many."

Seeing his appearance, Gu Xue said indifferently: "The Jing family unexpectedly has a strong bone, yes, the future is promising. If so, let's lead people back to the defense, strengthen the front line, and don't let a large number of people from the Lotus Sect invade."

"Yes, Hall Master!"

In mid-air, Jing Ruyi made a false obeisance.

As a member of the Jing family, for the first time in his life, he felt the urge to become stronger.

At least at least strong enough to catch up to the woman in front of him, and then defeat her with the ghost knife in his hand.

Jing Ruyi gripped the ghost knife tightly, turned and left.

When he landed, he turned his head to look at the sky behind him, only to see that the palace master in white was covered with blood-colored brilliance that could not be seen, and he was heading south.

Seeing at this moment, Gu Xue only felt that she was extremely powerful. She knew that this was the result of killing Peng Mi and the fifth grade of Honglian. The magic sword drinking blood would also give her strength.

She wants to go all out and go to the south to explore.

And during this journey, she began to perceive the situation in which she just broke through the realm in the great war.

She could feel a strange change in the heart or blood.

In short. Her heart is still there, but it doesn't have to be.

The so-called "heart ancestralization" is just a state description that misses the point.

Every drop of her blood has powerful power, every drop of blood is like a heart, and it has a strong yang energy.

And
She can reappear with just a drop of blood. She doesn't have this understanding, but as an existence that is extremely close to the fourth rank, she knows a lot about it.

However, even if you can be reborn from a drop of blood, it is best not to die.

Because, the fourth grade only increases the lifespan by 500 years, and the greater the injury at the time of death, the more time it takes to recover
Peng Mi is not dead.

However, he was injured like that, and the resurrection time is only about ten months, but after the resurrection, it will take several years, even more than ten years, for him to recover his strength, and then he needs time to find the spiritual weapon. The time spent and the risks involved are simply bad news for an existence that has just entered the fourth rank.

Seeing that Gu Xue suddenly fell to the ground.

With a thought in her mind, the sand and stones more than ten meters around seemed to be lifted by an invisible force, and flew up, and then began to move wantonly with her mind.

This is the "domain" after entering the fourth rank.

With the deepening of the level of ancestralization, the scope of the "domain" will become larger and larger.

At the level of the Nine Patriarchs in Qinghan City, it can reach more than a hundred feet.

Seeing that Gu Xue's thoughts moved again, streaks of red threads gushed out from her body, whistling through the air, covering an area of ​​more than ten feet, making blood everywhere in this area suffocated, exuding extremely positive information.

And the cold air from all around followed, sinking deep here, forming a vortex of air around her.

This kind of power is enough for her to patrol around most of the ghost domains, and it is enough for her to completely suppress a group of the weakest ghost domains.

At that time, she will only go to the core of the ghost domain, continue to spread the shadow blood in the form of mist, and wrap the ghost domain, so that the yin energy and yang energy can be continuously hedged.

In her body, yang energy is constantly growing.

But in Huangquan, Yin Qi is constantly growing.

Such a balance is repression.

But this kind of thing, no four grades will do it, after all, it's just a drop in the bucket.

Gu Xuejian was testing her strength and hurried on her way.

In the evening, she landed on an old tree.

Suddenly, there was a "buzzing" in her mind.

Immediately afterwards, there was an inexplicably familiar voice that seemed to be forgotten by her.

'Where am I? '

'Where is my beautiful dress? '

'Where's my guqin? '

'Where am I? '

'I'

'Where is this? '

'What am I doing? '

'Why am I holding a sword in my hand? '

'my head hurts'

Gu Xuejian:? ? ? ? ? ?
When she reached the fifth stage, she thought that she had found her true self, and this was her.

And the whole practice of the fifth rank is to hone this self to perfection, and then finally break through the fourth rank in the life and death fight.

But now, what is this familiar voice?
Gu Xuejian listened to the voice in silence.

She remembered a little bit.

This seems to be her from a long time ago.

She thought that when she stepped into the sixth rank, this "used her" had become "the current her", but it wasn't true?
Then, the perfect self at the fifth stage, what kind of perfection is it?
wrong!

If this she is the real her, then who is she now?

'who I am? Seeing that the joy of entering the fourth rank was overcast by Gu Xue, she was a little dazed.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Xuejian shouted directly to the voice again in her head: "Can you hear me? '

However, the voice did not give any answer, as if only Gu Xuejian could see her, but she couldn't see Gu Xuejian.

Gu Xuejian tried various means to communicate, and she even tried writing on the ground.

But the self in her mind would always unbelievably take what Gu Xuejian did as her own doing.

Gu Xuejian was stunned for a while, she temporarily gave up communicating because she had more important things to do now.

At the same time, she discovered that she could block the voice
As long as she reads it, the voice will fall into a short sleep, and everything that happened during it will be forgotten.

Seeing that the voice fell into a deep sleep, Gu Xue spit out a drop of blood with her fingers, and landed in a quiet and deserted valley, then she collected her mind and headed south quickly.

a few days later.

Yunshan Road.

Li Yuan chose to visit Shanbao County after he assigned the task of "exploring the west, collecting information about the Ice Tribe and the Immortal Graveyard".

It has been almost 12 years since he opened Wulu and created a luxury town.

With skills, resources, and suitable talents, one can break into the ninth rank in a few months, the eighth rank in one and a half years, the seventh rank in three and a half years, and the sixth rank in about seven years.

And those who enter the sixth rank will inevitably get the seeds of thought, or "ancestral scriptures".

Or strictly speaking, it is a "fragment of the ancestors".

Because the process of upgrading from the sixth rank to the fifth rank is to snatch the rest of the "ancestral fragments" from "those who practice the same but different types of exercises".

There are usually three "ancestral fragments", and when the three fragments are fused into one, you can enter the fifth rank.

Li Yuan was very curious.
Because he doesn't have any ancestral scriptures himself, how can those disciples break through to the sixth rank?

At this time, he was sitting safely in the black and white ghost town of the black market, facing an ancient bronze mirror.

The pale-skinned woman in Tsing Yi grabbed rouge, gouache and a paintbrush, and sketched on his face.

After a while, in the bronze mirror, Li Yuan's appearance changed into that of a passer-by who didn't know where. From any angle, he looked like a down-and-out man in the rivers and lakes.

"Thank you, Sister Yan, your craftsmanship is really good, much better than my own makeup with a rouge box." Li Yuan said with a smile.

Lady Yan in Tsing Yi said: "This time I'm going to Shanbao County, you have to be careful. When I left, I already felt something was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"The little flower girl's red dress turned green, and snakes and pigs appeared on the winding path in front of the door"

"Florist. Wonderland."

"So Mr. Xiang must be careful."

"it is good."

After Li Yuan and Mrs. Yan in Tsing Yi finished talking, they went to look for their daughter again.

The daughter has become a young girl, and it is not suitable to be hugged, so he smiled and said: "Father is going to Shanbao County, do you want anything?"

"Sugar!" Xiao Jin said happily.

Li Yuan nodded.

Xiao Jin said again: "Dad, pay attention to safety, Xiao Jin doesn't need to eat candy, but Daddy must not have any accidents."

After a brief conversation, Li Yuan hooked his fingers and came near Yu Chaojin in an instant.

As soon as he landed, the [Bronze Hang Tag] on his body started to get hot, which meant that there was too much yin in the air.

Li Yuan used the breath restraint technique and the concealment technique to let go of his perception, and his strong sense of hearing was enough for him to hear all the movements around him.

The last time I was here was almost three years ago.

He was unhurriedly lingering in a cave on a rockery, during which time a little sparrow landed on the rockery.

Li Yuan was about to tame it to serve as an eyeliner, when he suddenly paused, because he saw that in the moonlight, there was something wrong with the sparrow's shadow, and when it fell in the empty courtyard, it looked like a mouse.

Li Yuan looked at it for a long time, and it was a mouse.

What's even more weird is that there is a "0~1" floating above the sparrow's head, but a "0~2" is floating above the shadow of the mouse.

The word "2" is very vague, jumping to 1 for a while, jumping to 3 for a while, and jumping to 6 after a while, which is exaggerated and weird.

In a blink of an eye, the sparrow flapped its wings and flew away, and the shadow of the mouse gradually faded away.

Li Yuan's pupils narrowed slightly, taking advantage of a gap, he walked out of the fake cave.

In the moonlight, his shadow was quite normal, without any weirdness.

He continued to hide in the shadows, trying to see more life.

After several attempts, he got his wish and saw a servant girl hurrying through the courtyard.

The maid was doing everything as usual, holding the freshly cooked soup in her hand.

The soup was steaming, and the shadow of the servant girl gradually became clear as she walked on the ground.

Small stature, two long ears
Such a shadow was twisted and narrowed by the moonlight, clearly it was a rabbit.

The shadow of the rabbit is about to move, as if it is about to crawl out of the ground. There are sharp claws in the furry palms. When the silhouette opens its mouth, it reveals a mouthful of melon seeds.
And similarly, "10~11" floats above the girl's head, while "10~13" floats above the rabbit's head.
The "13" is flashing non-stop, but the range of beating is very large. When it is less, it is "11", and when it is more, it even reaches "50".

The servant girl walked into the depths of the courtyard with the appearance of "going to serve the master".

But then, there was a "clang in the frame" sound of the shackles being unlocked from the depths.

Then came a madman-like raving voice.

"Aww, aww, aww"

"Good wine, I think I have been fighting for many years, but I lost to you."

"My blood knife ancestor, feel ashamed, I lost, I lost."

"It still depends on the master of the fish gate."

"Sacred Fire Palace, ah ha ha ha, woo woo woo."

Although this raving lunatic had a sharp and weird voice, calling himself "Iron Killer" at one moment, and "Old Blood Saber Patriarch" at another moment, Li Yuan still clearly sensed that the other party was Yu Chaojin.

Why is Yu Chaojin crazy?

Still pretending to be crazy?
after a little while
The feeding girl came out.

But the door deep in the courtyard is not locked, and if you want to go in, you only need to push it lightly.

In other words, Li Yuan could easily meet Yu Chaojin.

"If I see Yu Chaojin, then I will know everything that happened here.

This can save a lot of trouble.

So, I should."

Li Yuan pulled the "Thousand Miles Line" and returned directly to Yunshan Road.

The place where he appeared was still the hut in the snowstorm.

The underground of the hut was extremely lively, and the laughter of Yingying and Yanyan's women could be heard from time to time, and Tang Nian's voice was also heard.

Li Yuan shook his head, and quickly went to the black market, Huangquan.

The reason why he returned was because he thought of one thing: the Lotus Sect and Xingke had human skin handcuffs, and Yu Chaojin, as the master of the Xuedao Sect, also had control value.

What would happen if the other party shackled the human skin handcuffs to Yu Chaojin's hands?
Li Yuan never came up, so he returned.

After a while, he appeared in Huangquan.

"Father, are you back so soon?" Xiaojin just opened the easel, and just started to draw a new painting, "Where's the sugar?"

Li Yuandao: "Father didn't buy candy for you for the time being, for safety's sake, next time."

"Oh..." Xiao Jin continued to paint obediently.

Li Yuan went directly to Lady Yan and asked about his guess.

Lady Yan in Tsing Yi sat in an old house, and said: "Just as my husband guessed, a person who is handcuffed in human skin, if he is handcuffed in human skin again, he will go crazy."

Li Yuan pondered and said: "Yu Chaojin went crazy, but he didn't die, that means the other party set a trap around Yu Chaojin, waiting for me to come.

After all, if I return, I will definitely ask Yu Chaojin about things, and I will be hooked by then.

Although the other party doesn't know who I am, how can I allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the tiger?

The Lotus Sect and Xingke left this small trap to find me, and then either subdue me or kill me directly. "

He thought for a while, then asked again: "Sister Yan, I just saw some unusual sights.

The shadow of the sparrow is that of the mouse.

The servant girl's shadow is that of a rabbit.

Apart from these, both the sparrow and the servant girl seem to have only their own power. What's going on? "

Lady Yan in Tsing Yi said: "Looks are born from the heart, everything is a beast.

This is a killing method related to the strange beast garden that I discovered after staying in Fujiang Road Ghost Street for many years.

The curse of the Garden of Wonders is very special, it can slowly turn your desire into a beast, the more you struggle, the more terrifying the beast will be.

If you do nothing, the beast will grow.

When it grows to a certain point, the beast will eat you.

This curse is so terrible that there is almost no solution.

Because the beast that grows out of your own desire is bound to be stronger than you.

The sparrows and maids that Xianggong saw should all be infected with this curse. "

"Sparrows can be infected"

"Ah."

"If the mouse shadow behind the sparrow eats the sparrow, can the mouse shadow exist independently?"

"No, it's just a curse.

Unless there is another way.

For example, the worry-free flower in the flower shop. "

"Worry-free flower?"

Lady Yan said, "If Xianggong doesn't go out, get on the couch earlier, and we'll talk slowly after we get on the couch."

"it is good."

Li Yuanying's blood gushed out and burned Yin Zhuang. Then he forcibly burned a bucket of water in Huangquan, took a bath and changed clothes, and went to bed.

Because Lady Yan is a ghost, she doesn't need to take a bath at all.

After the two had a sweet and warm couple's daily life, Li Yuan held Lady Yan tightly in his arms, and they cuddled each other under the mattress.

Yan Niangzi continued: "The worry-free flower can absorb people's memory and seal it up.

The sealed nature also has desires.

At that time, when the sealed desire meets the curse of the strange beast garden, he can forcibly create a powerful beast far superior to himself.

The weaker the desire, the weaker the beast, but not weaker than himself.

The stronger the desire, the stronger the beast. As for how strong it will be... I don't know. "

Hearing this, Li Yuan showed a look of reminiscence, he said: "Sister Yan, do you still remember when I ran back from the mountains?

At that time, I felt that the memory was passing quickly. That's why.

This worry-free flower is the embodiment of this aspect of the flower shop. "

"Well, sooner or later the flower shop will be swallowed up." Yan Niangzi spoke mighty and domineering words in a flat voice.

Li Yuan put his arms around the ice-like lady.

He himself is like a raging fire, so just right, quite comfortable.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he said, "Isn't this the lotus sect's plan? Absorb memories in large quantities, create wild beasts in large quantities, and fight for them."

Lady Yan shook her head: "I don't know much about personnel, but there are still many problems to be solved."

The couple chattered
After a while, Li Yuan yawned and fell asleep slowly, while Yan Niangzi pretended to be asleep.

The next day.

noon.

Yan Niangzi carefully put on the makeup for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan came to Shanbao County again.

Although Yu Chaojin felt that Yu Chaojin was a bit miserable, he really couldn't help it.

And the other party obviously set a trap around Yu Chaojin, hoping that the target would come to Yu Chaojin's side, so there were no guards around the house.

After careful investigation, Li Yuan left the house easily, and then wandered on the street.

Because the sun is in the sky at this time, everyone's shadows are cast under their feet, so no one can see anyone else.

Li Yuan was worried that when he went out, other people's shadows would be abnormal, but he was the only one, so he chose this time specially.

He headed north all the way to Wulu.

Not long after leaving that room, his [copper tag] no longer had a fever, as if there was a feeling of "the crisis is over".

And I think this crisis is related to "the trap around Yu Chaojin".

If he was greedy for merit and took a step in by accident just now, he might be in the middle of a bloody battle now, and he would have to throw all kinds of hole cards crazily.

Along the way, the atmosphere on this street was as lively as that in Shanbao County before, but the topics of the chats had changed.

Before, we talked about Huangquan, Xuedaomen and the bad harvest at most, but now it has become a "shadow".

Li Yuan walked and listened all the way, and at the same time observed the clothes of the people around him, so that when he came next time, he would ask his mother-in-law to help draw the clothes in a more down-to-earth way.

Within a radius of several miles, all kinds of small words, even the slightest, could be heard clearly in his ears.

"My wife, don't be stubborn, go and accept the washing ceremony of the Lotus Sect. As long as you accept it, all taxes can be exempted, and you can still receive relief food every month."

"Confused! Confused! Look at you, your shadow has turned into a sheep!"

"I can't see it, are you wrong?"

"Did I read it wrong, you ask everyone to comment.

The Lotus Sect is harmful, why don't you believe it! "

"Believe me, in fact, I have been seen by others. Some people say that my shadow is a sheep, but some people can't see it. Those who can't see it are the same as me, and there is something wrong with my shadow.

But isn't there no way?

Besides, what happened to the shadow turned into a sheep?The gods of the lotus sect said that this is just washing to wash away the sins in our hearts, and nothing will happen. "

Li Yuan walked by and heard an old couple arguing.

He felt at ease.

It seems that this county is still a county, not everyone has been recruited, but they need to accept the ceremony of washing to be recruited.

As for this "washing ceremony", it is likely that the Lotus Sect is doing experiments.

However, with the Lotus Sect's style of doing things, they can expose themselves, and this experiment may not have come to an end.

Li Yuan headed north all the way, walking at the speed of a normal person, and arrived near the north gate after half a day.

After leaving the north gate, you can go to the Wulu by the Yinxi River after walking for half a day in the northeast direction.

However, the control of Beimen seems to be extremely strict, and Li Yuan does not intend to be tough.

He is very familiar with the geographical environment of Shanbao County, so he naturally knows that there is a second way to get out of the city.

So, he turned around ahead of time and headed towards Xiaomofang.

The mountain depression in the northeast of Xiaomofang can lead to the outside. The terrain there is complex and difficult to guard against. Even if someone guards it, it doesn't make much sense. This is the way he used to kill General Qingxiang before.

P.S. Peach Blossom Crisp caught a cold and asked for leave to stay at home. I thought I could write more words, but my nose kept running, and I used a few hundred pumps of tissue paper. For the time being, there are only so many words. Please forgive me and thank you!
