Slaughtering Chickens and Dogs
Chapter 132 Slaughtering Chickens and Dogs
The top of Coffin Mountain is a dense forest. The ancient trees in the forest are probably the same age as Coffin City. They tower into the sky and have intertwined roots, covering the entire night sky. There is almost no other vegetation under the forest, but only thick fallen leaves and low flowers and plants.
But when Lou He walked on the fallen leaves, there was no sound at all. Li Wuxiang turned into a human skin and was worn by him, with a Taoist robe as a cover.
"How many people in the world know your identity? I mean Qingnangxian." Lou He asked as he walked.
"Except for Brother Zeng, everyone who knows is dead."
Lou He nodded: "That's good. I have to remind you that Guangchanzi's technique can only be practiced to the point of wearing golden clouds at most. If others don't know that you are Qingnangxian, this technique is very powerful, but if It won't be difficult for others to deal with you if they know it - just like you just dealt with me, so either you don't use it normally, or if you do, you won't be able to survive."
Li Wuxiang laughed: "I originally thought this technique was evil, but now that you say it, it sounds even more evil to us. If the clan knew about it, would they kill us as evil spirits?"
"Haha. Who doesn't have something else to do? You don't care about your heart in this kind of thing. Except for a few dead heads, just keep your heart in your stomach." Lou He laughed, but immediately put his smile back. , "It's almost here. Remember, I have to go to the formation to get some incense to replenish myself. You can do it if you want. If I don't speak, don't take action."
"good."
Lou He took another dozen steps forward and stopped.
He stood next to an ancient tree, so Li Wuxiang could see what was ahead.
It was a large open space. There was a high platform in the middle of the open space. It looked very much like a pyramid in his original world. The top was flat and there were upward stone steps on all sides. It was about three or four stories high.
On the top platform, there is a Wat board.
The wat plate looked exactly like the one held by Xu Daosheng, but it was dozens of times larger. It was suspended in the void at the top of the tower and rotated slightly, emitting a white shimmer.
Tonight, Li Wuxiang's heart was not very peaceful. He was worried about Zhao Qi and Zeng Jianqiu in Lingshan and didn't know what the current situation was. At the same time, I was a little worried about Lou He, afraid that he would suddenly smile coldly and say to me, "You have been fooled."
However, when he saw the huge Wat board at the top of the high platform, he suddenly felt as if he had taken Xiaoyao Pill, and his whole body became calm - the hidden worries in his heart were still there, but his consciousness was like a breeze, just passing over those worries. , can’t stir up any more waves.
"Look." Lou He said in a deep voice, "Did you see the people above?"
As he spoke, he jumped up to the top of the ancient tree, swaying lightly in the night wind with the branches and leaves. So Li Wuxiang saw two monks from the True Form Cult sitting cross-legged on the platform at the top, around the huge wat board, with their eyes slightly closed, their expressions calm and ecstatic.
"There are two." Li Wuxiang stretched out his eyes and looked down again, "There is also a row of houses under the stage. Is there anyone inside?"
"Yes, that is a check-in room. The ones you see on the top are practicing. I have practiced there before. Those are those who are about to reach the realm of refining gods. But there is no need to panic, whether they are practicing or not. It’s the same as not forming a pill, it’s a huge difference, just listen to me when the time comes.”
"There should still be people in the check-in room. But the practitioners in the city know that a swordsman has entered the city. There shouldn't be many people in the check-in room, only three or four at most. Let's clear out the ones in the check-in room first."
"In the value room..."
"They are also about to become gods. Only those with this level of cultivation will come to the Five Mountains Formation to prepare for the final step of the attack. Everyone in the guard room should be resting, so it is easier to deal with."
"good."
Lou He flicked on him: "I know what you did to deal with Xu Daosheng. You thought he was difficult to deal with at that time, right? You must have heard Zeng say something else, for example, that these cultivators in Coffin City are more difficult to deal with. "
"But don't panic. Let me tell you, these people are just like me before. They are used to being safe and very stupid. I can barely be considered a golden elixir. We are two swordsmen again. This is a matter of slaughtering chickens and dogs. Just remember Stay calm, don’t fight head-on, get ahead of them and hit them on the head.”
"Yeah, I understand."
"Okay, let's get started." Lou He floated down from the tree crown, and as soon as he landed, he walked directly to the duty room, stepping on the fallen leaves to make a rustling sound.
He walked all the way to the check-in door, about fifty steps, and no one came to stop him. He walked to the door and stood down, reaching out and knocking, but no one responded. He knocked hard a few more times, and then someone inside spoke: "Who? Come in by yourself."
"Please ask any real person to come out and I will give orders to the mountain master."
The person who spoke inside sighed, and Li Wuxiang heard the rustling of clothes. After a while, the door opened, and a monk stuck his face out. When he saw Lou Shi, his expression was still a little confused: "Who are you?"
There are several couches in the room, separated from each other by screens. There is a small square table next to the couch, with candlelight on it. You can see a monk sleeping on a couch closer to the door, still holding a hand. A volume of books.
Lou He saluted him: "Master, please take a step to speak."
Then he turned around and walked to the wall of the guard room. The monk followed him, still looking a little confused: "What order did the mountain master ask you to pass on?"
"I'm joking, I'm just lending your skin."
"ah?"
There was a flash of sword light, a pop sound, and a fan-shaped blood stain spattered on the wall of the guard room. The monk's headless body fell straight back. Lou He immediately stepped forward to hold it up, and half of his body disappeared into the void.
Li Wuxiang was on top of him and was also pulled into Lingshan - the half of Lou He's body that had disappeared turned into countless silk-like tentacles, tightly wrapping a human figure and suddenly pulling him out of the blood mist. Pulled out.
This monk was newly deceased and seemed to have not yet figured out what happened. Lou He followed Li Wuxiang's previous method of dealing with him and slapped him hard on the ground of Lingshan. Immediately, countless resentful ghosts grabbed him and dragged him deep underground.
At this time, the monk's soul reacted and tried to struggle, but after only two or three breaths, it became weak and disappeared in the pus and blood.
Lou He's body swayed, and he appeared in the night again. His clothes fell off, and he threw himself on the body of the headless monk, becoming his appearance in the blink of an eye.
"When you issue the sword later, tilt it upwards." He folded the collar of the Taoist robe inside, "Try not to get blood on it. And the technique I just did, you can't do it even if you're wearing Jinxia. , but you can learn first - if you have a golden entanglement, go to the spiritual Don't worry about the mountain. I am Qingnangxian. I am not as good as your Golden Tangzi, so I am not afraid of it. But if a newly dead soul like this enters, my cultivation is not like that of our Sword Sect, which specializes in warding off evil spirits. Once you are pulled, it's over. If you kill someone, you'll be silenced."
Li Wuxiang attached himself to him again: "Senior Brother Lou, did you teach Lao Zeng like this before?"
"Haha, I say this because I have the same temperament as you. I was the same as me in the Sword Sect, but I am still a bit upright. You are a good disciple. Wait a minute. I will take a break. We fought too hard before. ”
He sat down against the wall and breathed out slowly. Li Wuxiang poked his eyes out of his collar and guarded him. At this time, he saw two lines of tears suddenly shed on Lou He's face, and he raised his hand to wipe them away.
Is it because you think of Luo Xi? Li Wuxiang was thinking about what to say, when Lou He spoke: "Yes, you have to remember this too. Your name is Li Wuxiang, haha, when you reach the state of being covered with golden clouds, you will really be like me. It's gone, but it's not a last resort. It's best not to do it. This is not a change of mind, nor is it taking away one's body. It is taking away a person's way of life with the cultivation of ghosts and immortals. Then this person's karma will also be on you. Sometimes you will feel that you are him. ——This is a demonic thought, it must be suppressed.”
He took a few more breaths and said, "Okay, continue."
Lou He stood up, opened the door and walked into the duty room. The monk next to the door was still asleep. Lou He walked up to him, and Li Wuxiang fired his flying sword, killing him instantly. Going deeper into the check-in room, there were two more people sleeping, who were also killed by a sword.
When the soul of the fourth person was taken care of, Lou He seemed a little unable to do what he wanted, causing him to wake up in the Lingshan Mountain. It was Li Wuxiang who sent out another flying sword, and the two of them worked together to drag him to the resentful ghost.
When he returned to the earth, Lou He could no longer maintain his appearance. His face seemed to be melting, his eyes and mouth kept falling down, and the clean robe he had put on seemed to become extremely heavy, weighing him down and unable to straighten his back. , just by looking at it, I don’t think it’s a good thing.
Li Wuxiang fell off from him and transformed into his own appearance: "Senior Brother Lou, I almost know what these people look like. Let me do it next."
Lou He sighed: "Okay, then I will attach myself to you and cover your face. But you have to be quick when you go up later. The phaseless transformation of Qingnangxian is not about appearance, but about spirit. I If you become them, they won't feel anything wrong, but if you become them, your breath will be different. I feel very uncomfortable now. You go up and sit with them for a while."
"Also, when you are up there, you will be very slow to draw your sword. Take care of one first, and the other will adapt accordingly."
Li Wuxiang nodded, walked out of the check-in room, and stepped onto the stone steps of the high platform.
When I took the first few steps, I didn't feel anything unusual. But as he walked further up, he felt pressure. Just like the spell Xu Daosheng used on him before, he felt that his skin became extremely heavy. Every time he took a step, he felt that he was slowly shrinking, as if his whole body was about to sink. The stone steps went up.
He gritted his teeth and raised his spirits, and when he reached the last dozen steps, he was almost ready to move up bit by bit. When he could see the two people sitting at the top, Li Wuxiang couldn't bear it anymore, so he slowly sat down and released the flying sword.
The Qi-refining swordsman is better said to be a flying sword than a hidden weapon. Because he used the tentacles as sword lines, he could fly more smoothly. However, now that the flying sword is out of the body, it actually needs to swing its tentacles to accumulate power before it can be launched. The speed is more than a star and a half slower. At such a speed, a sneak attack on one monk might be successful, but if another one was to react, he would be in big trouble.
Lou He said in a low voice: "Don't panic, leave the other one to me. In the worst case, I will take him directly to Lingshan. Remember, after taking care of them, you can see a door on the opposite side of the road you are taking now. Again Go all the way down, and there will be a guard inside the Wuyue Formation. Then you can adapt accordingly."
Li Wuxiang couldn't help but smile in his heart. Lou He's style of doing things is quite similar to his own, but there are differences. In less than a quarter of an hour, he said "act according to circumstances" twice.
"You said you wanted to put some incense on it, how?"
"You have to be a member of the True Form Cult. To put it bluntly, you are asking the true spirit to accept the offerings. The true spirit eats meat and can leave a few drops of soup and water for you."
"and you?"
"I steal. A little, but not more."
Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment, then turned and glanced at the wat board again.
The temptation is too great... The whole Coffin Mountain, so many people, and more than a hundred years of accumulation, how much incense and will power should there be. Now I am stuck on the edge of "Refining Qi and Transforming into God" in the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter. Originally, according to the external evil theory, one could use the True Shape Diagram of the Five Mountains to break through the realm, but now the True Shape Diagram of the Five Mountains is on it.
But if I can steal a little more here, I might be able to directly break through the "Refining God into Void" and touch the edge of the golden elixir!
This is a detour that takes decades less than others!
"Senior Brother Lou, you said you want to steal, but not too much. What will happen if you steal too much?"
"I know what you are thinking, no. If you steal too much, Wu Meng will know-"
"Aren't we just here to lure Wu Meng out?"
"I'm talking about you. Didn't you survive the tribulation when you came to refine your qi?"
"We made it across. A spirit helped me carry it across."
"Then what are you thinking? Your Qi Refining Tribulation is the Three Thunder Tribulations. When you reach the Golden Core, you will have to go through the Forty-nine Golden Core Tribulations. If you pass the Tribulation here, you will kill yourself before Wu Meng can take action. !”
"Ranshan Fantasyland——"
"Same!"
Li Wuxiang nodded. Neither can external evil. Now he is inclined to believe that the external evil is Taiyi, but if he is asked to help... Asking him for help on the territory of Zhenxiang Cult, Li Wuxiang himself is wondering whether there will be a lot of trouble, or even calling this place The Five Sacred Spirits knew that he was still hiding somewhere in Lingshan Mountain.
So……
"Okay, I'll go up and get the one closest to me, and you deal with the other one."
He took another breath and climbed the last five steps.
One monk was sitting cross-legged next to the steps, with his back to him, and the other was in the opposite position. Li Wuxiang stopped three steps away from him and slowly sat down - this distance was the farthest he felt his flying sword could send.
As soon as he sat down on the stage, Li Wuxiang felt that the pressure on his body became even greater. Jin Tangzi seemed to be squeaking inside his body, and the skin under the Taoist robe had begun to deform slightly.
But his heart became calmer and he smelled a good smell.
It's not the taste, it should be the sixth sense after the five senses, the feeling of incense, fire and aspiration.
Maybe it’s because the incense here is too strong, or maybe because his body is more sensitive as a ghost and immortal, that feeling even begins to materialize - a person sees a hungry and cold traveler in the ice and snow, dying, so he moves He felt compassion and rescued him. The traveler has not yet regained consciousness in the warm quilt, but he can already feel satisfied, and he is slightly throbbing in his heart for what he has done.
It was this kind of throbbing, as if it had become something concrete, spreading all over his body and being so rich that it couldn't be dissolved. Li Wuxiang couldn't help but incorporate it into his consciousness.
It was also at this time that he could feel other things contained in those throbs, like impurities in them - some vague memories and feelings that only belonged to those locked in the coffin mountain.
These things should be demonic thoughts. But bathed in the faint light emitted by the huge wat board, these things could not stir up the slightest wave in his heart.
Lou He seems to have started stealing these incense. Li Wuxiang could feel that the skin wrapped around his body gradually became stronger, and at the same time, it propped up his body, making him feel that the pressure was slightly relieved.
So he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two monks beside him and opposite him, waiting for Lou He to regain enough strength.
But just at that glance, he found that the monk three steps away had opened his eyes at some point - he also glanced at himself, frowned slightly, and said: "Junior brother He, stop being greedy. When you came up just now, I heard that you were losing energy, and you took a rest halfway, and now you are here to continue practicing..."
He shook his head: "In short, you will be able to refine yourself within these five years, so why rush it? Be careful that the gain outweighs the loss."
The monk on the opposite side also opened his eyes: "What you, Senior Brother Song, said makes sense. How many people in the sect have failed because they were unable to suppress the evil thoughts in their hearts. When the energy is weak, it is most taboo to force it. Junior Brother He, when the time comes, Let's sleep in the room for a while. I really can't sleep. You, Senior Brother Feng, and Junior Brother Zhao are both looking after you in the formation down there. It's not peaceful these days. I heard that there is a swordsman still in the city, so you should go and look after him. Just in case."
"Randomly" happened - two monks who woke up and were about to become gods, and there was not only one person underneath, but three in total!
How to respond to "response"?
Li Wuxiang felt Lou He tighten on him, and the tentacles moved, transmitting the voice into his body: "It can't be done. You nodded to them, walked slowly, be more reluctant, and let's think of other ways. Bring Wu Meng out."
Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment: "If I don't leave, will they kick me out?"
"No, others are too lazy to take care of this kind of thing. It's all benevolence and justice to advise you, lest you go crazy and disturb others' practice. Have you forgotten the forty-nine golden elixir tribulations?"
"What does the forty-nine golden elixir tribulations mean, the forty-nine tribulations of thunder?"
"yes."
"Then if you help me block the disaster, can you stop it?"
Lou He fell silent and said nothing for a long time. After a while, he said: "Well, you were right before, people will change. Your question reminded me that if I was in this situation more than ten years ago, without you having to say it, maybe I would He said, I will protect you from this thunderstorm and ask you to fish them out. Looking back now, I have changed, and I am no longer like a swordsman - "
“I was just joking.” Li Wuxiang closed his eyes and ignored the two True Form Sect monks on the stage. “But today, I will achieve the Golden Elixir.”
