Chapter Sixteen(1/2)
I don't know how long it went like this, but finally it woke up in the thin smell of blood and the fierceness in its nature. That was when Ji Ruochen killed the first monk. When it first woke up, it was still a little confused, until
After being nourished by the essence and blood of the withered bamboo, he finally woke up completely. So it was not until this moment that the Dinghai Shen Zhentie showed his true colors.
Shen Tie has been living with Xuan Turtle for hundreds of years, and has gained some understanding of the world. He knows that most people in this world fear gods and ghosts, bully the weak and fear the strong, so before revealing his true body, he summoned clouds and wind, causing thunder and purple lightning to fly around him.
Let’s talk about it with great authority.
Tieguang's rambling memories stopped here, but Ji Ruochen felt that it was not finished, so he asked: "The Taoist said that something big happened to you. What big thing was it? Also, how loud is that name? Let's talk about it.
…”
Suddenly a gust of fishy wind blew by, and the iron rod seemed to let out an angry roar. The blood in the word "Chen" was bright, and waves of murderous intent surged towards Ji Ruochen like a tide! Before this wave of murderous intent, Ji Ruochen only felt that he was as powerful as
For a piece of seaweed, the consciousness may be blown away by the murderous aura at any time. The first thing that sounded in the ears was the howling sound of the wind, and then it turned into the shouts, roars and roars of thousands of creatures. This loud sound was mixed together, and at first
What's more, if thousands of thunderbolts exploded in his ears, they eventually became silent, and only countless invisible vibrations washed away his consciousness!
The murderous aura of Tao Tian came and went like lightning, and disappeared completely when the first huge wave rolled over.
Long after the murderous aura faded away, the roars of those resentful souls still lingered in Ji Ruochen's ears. Ji Ruochen was horrified. If he hadn't heard the past anecdotes about the divine iron and just looked at these murderous auras, he would have thought that this magical iron didn't know how to kill.
Thousands and tens of thousands of living beings.
Shente lost his murderous intent, and his tone suddenly became cold and hard, saying: "That's it. From now on you'd better become more courageous in killing and find more blood food for me, otherwise I will be very hungry, so say
I may eat you one day."
After finishing speaking, Shen Tie converged its light, flew back behind Ji Ruochen, and fell silent again.
Ji Ruochen stood still for a moment, suddenly smiled, and continued to walk forward. He didn't take the threat of Shen Tie too seriously. In the past two years, he had wandered between life and death several times, and he had long given up on life and death.
If you take it to heart, why should you be afraid of an iron rod? The saying goes that people are not afraid of death, but how can they be afraid of death?
Let’s take action, why wait until now?
As soon as Ji Ruochen mentioned that important event and the famous name of Shen Tie, it seemed that Dinghai Shen Zhen Tie became furious. The reason for this will be flawed in the future, but we need to explore it in detail.
Thinking of this, Ji Ruochen seemed to feel the divine iron behind him vibrate slightly, and then became silent again.
This trip to the east was a bumpy one. Ji Ruochen saw that the towns and villages were gradually becoming prosperous and still had a glorious scene. However, he occasionally saw people dying of hunger on the roadside. Outside the villages and towns, groups of homeless people in ragged clothes could often be seen.
Their eyes were blank, and they had no idea where tomorrow's meal was. Sometimes a carriage would pass by, and the leading knights, each with bright clothes and armor, were fat and strong, holding whips and riding horses to disperse the vagrants gathered on the left side of the road, lest they avoid danger.
The smell of their bodies hit the gentlemen and ladies in the sedan.
Less than ten feet away from the official road, there is a vast expanse of fertile farmland as far as the eye can see. At this time, the cold winter has just passed, and the soil in the fields has just been turned over. The fragrance of the soil is mixed in the wind, making people feel indescribably refreshed. This is
Every piece of fertile land is filled with loads of grain in autumn.
Before going to the mountain to practice Taoism, Ji Ruochen had been living in the world at a young age. Of course he knew that the scenery in late winter and early spring was the best, but for the poor people in the world, these were also days of drought. The Ming Emperor of this dynasty managed the country fairly well.
The world has been peaceful for decades, known as the prosperous age, and the south of the Yangtze River has always been a land of plenty. Ji Ruochen did not expect that before the most difficult period, there would already be so many displaced and hungry people along the way. Looking back on the past three years, the weather has been smooth, and there is nothing wrong with it.
How could there be so many hungry people on the roadside during a major natural disaster?
Ji Ruochen only had some doubts in his heart. In the past few years, he had only focused on cultivating Taoism, refining elixirs, and advancing vigorously. How could he have learned anything about the principles of governing a country and a family? What's more, it was a rare leisure to stop and see the lives of the people.
Flawed.
The south of the Yangtze River is rich, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. There are many famous mountains with dynamic energy, and there are naturally many monastic schools. After experiencing the pursuit of dead bamboo, Ji Ruochen has already realized that the situation in the world is completely different. When he went down the mountain a few times, those scattered people
The small sect is afraid of the power that the Tao De Sect has accumulated over thousands of years, and they dare not fight with the Tao De Sect with all their strength. They are even more afraid of forging an incomprehensible enmity. They claim that the whole world is encircling the Tao De Sect, but the organization is actually a mess. Except for some fringe disciples, the Tao De Sect is a scattered sect.
The sect was not damaged at all. Some disciples of the sect who were walking outside the mountain sometimes took action out of anger, but caused heavy casualties to those small sects.
But this time, not only are the various sects well-organized, but also many figures in the sect who have closed their doors and cultivated themselves have come out one after another, such as Jia Sidao of the Chonglou Sect, and Kuzhu. Especially Kuzhu Taoism is profound, even if he is placed in the
The leader of the Tao De Sect should be ranked within the top seventy, but he is from a little-known sect. At least Ji Ruochen can't tell the origin of his Taoism. People like this have begun to go out to encircle the Tao De Sect. The situation is still
Isn't it obvious?
"Obviously, you are a fish and meat, and others are a knife."
After a certain battle, perhaps because he was satisfied with his blood meal, Tieguang finally spoke and made a judgment on the current situation.
In the past few days, just showing his identity as a disciple of the Taoism Sect was like poking a hornet's nest, enough to provoke all the monks within a hundred miles. Fortunately, the evil cultivators never cooperated with the righteous way, so they were more or less left to Ji Ruochen.
Some respite.
Ji Ruochen never fought head-on with groups of monks, he just put down his words, but he was an enemy of Daode Sect, and his hatred would never end! Every time he escaped from the siege, Ji Ruochen secretly made a note of the sects that participated in the siege. Once he encountered a group of monks on the road,
When the disciples of these sects are alone, they will be attacked secretly or attacked by force, and they must be killed without leaving any room.
Ji Ruochen's movement skills are unpredictable. After the sea-fixing needle in his palm regained its spiritual power, its power increased greatly. The power of one blow was so shocking that it shattered rocks and shattered mountains! The monks who were attacked by him were not very good at Taoism, and they were caught off guard. How could they block it?
one strike?
Every two or three days, there are always monks who fall into Ji Ruochen's hands. Although the Divine Iron senses a large group of monks nearby and clamors to get blood food, Ji Ruochen completely goes his own way and remains unmoved. Although the Divine Iron does not
Satisfied, but there is always blood food in the mouth every other day, which barely meets its bottom line and does not fully show its ferocious nature.
In fact, Shentie also helped Ji Ruochen a lot. Those sects that had lost members wanted to take revenge, so they ambushed a large group of people nearby several times, and then sent one or two disciples as bait, trying to lure Ji Ruochen out. Maybe they wanted to eat blood.
The Dinghai Shenzhen Iron Iron can sense the presence of a large group of monks from more than a hundred miles away, so it urges Ji Ruochen to go get food. Ji Ruochen was reminded, of course he retreated far away, leaving the monks to lie in wait for several days, and waited until he was anxious and angry.
He learned the news that Ji Ruochen killed someone hundreds of miles away.
After more than ten days like this, the entire Jiangnan monastic world was in chaos. As the news of the death of Jia Sidao and Ku Zhu spread, everyone in the monastic sects became even more awe-inspiring and secretly fearful in their hearts, so they strictly restricted their disciples not to
Walking alone in the rivers and lakes, those with low moral standards are not even allowed to step out of the mountain gate. The group of cultivators with high moral standards stepped up their actions, patrolling around to detect Ji Ruochen's whereabouts, and setting up ambushes everywhere, waiting for Ji Ruochen to come up and die.
It was a sunny and windy day, and there was a clear air in an unnamed valley at the southern foot of Wudang Mountain. Six or seven monks were standing or sitting, scattered throughout the valley. They set up an ambush here, and only the eyes within a hundred miles could detect them.
If Ji Ruochen's whereabouts are known, he can rush over and capture him in one fell swoop.
Everyone is a practitioner of Qi refining, but after waiting in this valley for five or six days, they are a little restless and hope to have information about Ji Ruochen's whereabouts.
Everyone's fortune seems to be good these days.
When I was anxious, suddenly there was a sound of rustling footsteps in the distance. When the group of cultivators heard the sound and left, they saw only one person stepping into the valley and slowly walking toward the crowd.
The afternoon sun was blazing. Looking into the sunlight, the group of cultivators could only see the silhouette of the person coming, and they couldn't even see their face clearly. But it was impossible not to recognize the black iron rod.
"Ji Ruochen?!" An old man's pupils shrank sharply, and he revealed the identity of the visitor in one gulp.
The man didn't answer, but still walked toward the group of practitioners. His steps didn't show any speed, but his speed was getting faster and faster. The old man's long eyebrows trembled. At this moment, facing Ji Ruochen directly, he still couldn't feel the slightest breath of true energy on him. No wonder Jiang Nan
The monastic community has deployed so much manpower and material resources that Ji Ruochen's whereabouts have not been captured for many days.
However, the iron rod seemed to have spiritual energy, and the murderous aura it emitted seemed to have substance, just like the steel needles piercing the old man's body.
The old man has been active for half his life, and he is no simple person. He makes a decisive decision, and his clear whistle is as loud as the phoenix, and it goes straight to Jiuxiao!
The cultivators had been preparing for a long time, but at this moment they received the order, and all kinds of magic weapons and Taoist techniques were rushing towards Ji Ruochen like a storm. What struck him was a flying sword and two red lotus karma flames, and another brocade handkerchief fell from the sky.
, two immortal ropes came up from the left and right. The old man's eyes were red, his chest bulged a foot high, his face was red, then he opened his mouth, and a ball of five-color true fire wrapped in a golden elixir rushed out, straight towards
Ji Ruochen frowned.
This old man actually sprayed out his inner elixir as soon as he came on stage, wanting to fight Ji Ruochen to the death!
Ji Ruochen's five long clear fingers holding the Dinghai Divine Needle Iron suddenly tightened, and the black energy was immediately sucked clean by the Divine Iron. His steps did not change, but his speed increased again and again. After taking three consecutive steps, his figure was already fast.
It has to be a little blurry.
Faced with numerous magic weapons and Taoist techniques, Ji Ruochen did not dodge. He raised the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron over his head, suddenly shouted loudly, and hit the old man's inner elixir with a stick!
Suddenly a long and profound bell sounded in the mountains...
In just an instant, a line of black air meandered through the valley and stopped at the other end of the valley, slowly emerging Ji Ruochen's figure.
He picked up the magical iron and walked eastward silently, never looking behind him again.
The setting sun was like blood, reflecting a bright red color on the grass and trees in the valley. Where Ji Ruochen had just stood, the grass had already been dyed red with blood, but under the thick red blood-like sunlight, this piece of green grass gradually blended into the blood of the entire valley.
"Happy! Happy!..." The valley has long been silent, only the deep voice of Dinghaishenzhen still echoes endlessly.
It wasn't until the moon came to the top of the forest that any monks found this valley. They saw corpses lying everywhere in the valley, and the blood was everywhere. From then on, people on the Jiangnan Road became panic-stricken again.
Since the chanting wind returned to Qingcheng, the fresh air in Qingxu Palace has become stronger day by day. The mountains are covered with old trees and branches, the dry mountains are gushing with springs, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are swirling, and auspicious beasts are coming to visit. Seeing that a fairy mountain on earth has already
It looks like three points.
Everyone in the Qingxu Palace has made great progress in their cultivation. Even those dull-talented pyrotechnics and handymen have also made progress in their cultivation. It is quite similar to the idea that one person can achieve enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Yinfeng spent the whole day either resting against the Feilai Stone or looking at the vast sea of clouds. His whereabouts were never far away from the Feilai Stone. On the top of the Feilai Stone, Gu Qing was held up by a ball of green air and sat floating in the air, his eyes like
He is not closed, he is practicing the Supreme Way of Heaven. Looking from a distance, the green air is just like a lotus, and the place where Gu Qing is sitting is the heart of the lotus.
Under the cold wind of the cold moon, Yinfeng was leaning on the cliff and looking into the distance. In his eyes, all the living beings were busy like ants, unable to rest even at night. His heart suddenly moved slightly, so he turned back to look at the top of the flying stone.
Seeing Gu Qing slowly open his eyes.
Yinfeng frowned slightly and said: "Qing'er, this golden elixir should last for thirty-six days. Now there are still three days left. Why are you out of seclusion?"
Gu Qing didn't seem to hear Yinfeng's words, and only looked to the distant east. After a moment, he said: "I suddenly felt a little frightened. Something evil must have appeared, so I came out to take a look."
Yinfeng looked to the east and said calmly: "It's just a piece of ancient iron, it can't stir up much trouble. If you leave the seclusion early, the Taoist elixir is not perfect yet, and you need to nourish it for another seventy-two days."
Gu Qing seemed to be thoughtful, and then said: "Awakening a Dinghai Shenzhen Iron is certainly not a big deal. But his trip is to retrieve the source of spiritual energy, which is not a trivial matter. The heaven and earth have their own places, and there are twenty people in the world now.
The Four Spirit Acupoints have been damaged in three places by the Tao De Sect. If this one is added, the fate of heaven and earth will collapse, and the world will inevitably be in chaos and China will be in ruins."
Yinfeng frowned and said: "So what if all life is ruined? It will be a big deal if you cultivate the Zifu Immortal Body as soon as possible, become immortals with me, and end the cause and effect of hundreds of reincarnations. After you and I return to the immortal world together, we will spend millions of years together."
