Chapter 176 Meeting Yinghuan Again and Giving Her Bamboo
A little girl with pigtails was staring at the pond in a daze on the porch, feeling depressed: this time Brother Lu went out without her, she didn't want to talk to him anymore!
The little girl was throwing fish food into the pond while getting angry. She kept mumbling about how she could tease the "Brother Lu" she mentioned to vent her anger.
Just as she was calculating and playing with the fish in the pond out of boredom, she heard a commotion coming from the front yard.
She immediately threw all the fish food in her hand into the pond and ran to the front yard excitedly. Her short legs were running happily, but...
But as soon as she arrived at the front yard, she was stunned by the scene - it was simply a hell.
Monsters were everywhere, constantly slaughtering everyone they encountered, regardless of gender, age or status, and none of them could escape. And those people were like those livestock, with their heads bitten off or cut in half by those terrifying monsters.
At this time, a head covered with blood rolled to the feet of the girl. On the bloody head, a pair of eyes seemed frightened and unwilling. There were tears in the corners of the eyes and the bloody mouth was wide open, as if there was a shout that was not uttered yet.
The little girl was stunned by the head with bloodshot eyes. Her eyes were wide open with fear. She knew she should run and escape, but her feet felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't move an inch no matter what.
Just as she was stunned, a woman picked her up and ran to the inner courtyard. As she ran, she patted the girl's back and kept muttering:
"Be good, Guining. Don't be afraid. I am here and I will protect you."
Although the woman said this, she did not run towards the small door in the backyard, but ran along the corridor all the way to the ancestral hall.
As soon as they arrived at the ancestral hall, the woman threw the baby girl aside without even pulling the mat, and knelt on the ground with a "dong". She kowtowed three times towards the altar in the ancestral hall. When she looked up, her forehead was purple. She put her hands together and cried to the altar:
"The ancestors of the Lu family, the guardian spirits, I, the sinner Wen, sincerely ask for your help. Today, the Lu family is in trouble, and the disaster is caused by my husband, Cheng Lang, who is despicable, bewildered, ungrateful, and led the thief into the house. Since I was a child, my parents have taught me not to be unjust or unkind. Moreover, the mistress of the Lu family is my elder sister, and now she is away with the only son of the Lu family. I am afraid that I cannot ask for help. However, this is truly a matter of life and death. I feel deeply guilty and want to step in and ask the spirit of the Lu family to move to avoid falling into the hands of the thief Cheng. Please allow me, the ancestors!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he repeatedly touched the ground with his forehead, making a thumping sound, and kept repeating: "Please ask the spirit of the Lu family to move, please ask the ancestors to grant your approval..."
The woman's forehead was already covered in blood, but she kept on kowtowing. The little girl next to her saw this and was so scared that she started crying. She didn't know why her mother was doing this, so she rushed forward to stop her from hurting herself, but the woman ignored her and kept on kowtowing. The thudding sound seemed to hit the girl's heart, causing her chest pain. She cried and asked her mother to stop, but it was of no use.
At this moment, a black mist appeared above the spiritual platform and floated in front of the woman before dissipating. It turned out to be a pair of deer antler blades!
Upon seeing this, the woman immediately tore off her dress, kowtowed to the double blades of deer antlers again, and carefully wrapped them up. Then, regardless of the blood on her face, she led the girl and ran quickly to the back of the spirit platform.
It turned out that there was a candlestick behind the altar, which was actually a mechanism. The woman twisted it hard, and a slide appeared on the wall, but it was only the size of a dog hole.
The woman handed the package to the girl, wishing her to hold it tightly, and then gently sent her into the mechanism.
"Mother... Ning'er won't leave... Mother..."
The girl seemed to know what the woman was going to do. She pulled her sleeve and refused to let go. At this moment, she heard a roar behind her. The monsters had actually found the ancestral hall.
The woman quickly pushed the girl and shouted into the tunnel, "Go back! Live!" Then she fell silent.
The world was spinning, and the girl felt her stomach churning. But when she thought of her mother being like those people in the front yard, she became extremely scared and kept crying:
"Mother...Mother..."
……
"Mother...Mother..."
Maidong on the couch had already developed a fever and kept talking nonsense, which made Long Sheng feel mixed emotions.
She was in this state because of him, and she was in love with Qi Ge'er. How could he bring himself to kill her when Old Zhang said he would kill her with a knife? If he really killed her now, how would he explain to Qi Ge'er?
Just when he was overwhelmed with emotions, he suddenly felt a burst of demonic energy coming from outside the house, and along with the demonic energy, there was also a woman's cry:
"Ophiopogon japonicus!"
He immediately became alert, picked up his sword and rushed out, just in time to see Lingxiang and Xiaobai.
When Long Sheng saw Xiaobai behind Lingxiang, he felt that he was full of demonic energy and immediately stabbed him with a sword.
As soon as Xiaobai opened the curtain, he sensed a fierce murderous aura. He quickly held Lingxiang behind him, gathered spiritual energy in his palm, and took the sword that Long Sheng was stabbing at him.
Seeing that the sword could not be pulled out, Long Sheng was certain that Xiaobai was an evil demon, so he quickly bit his index finger and slashed at the sword.
The sword suddenly glowed red and was extremely hot. Seeing this, Xiaobai stretched out his hand and pushed Long Sheng three feet away.
Long Sheng leaned on the sword, rubbing the blade against the ground, sparks flew, and a deep scratch was left on the ground. As soon as he stood still, he turned around and slashed with the sword in his hand. Immediately, a red sword energy wrapped in spiritual power flew towards Xiao Bai.
If there was no Lingxiang behind him, Xiaobai would be able to use the teleportation technique to dodge, but now Lingxiang was behind him, if he dodged, wouldn't he hurt her?
Just as Xiaobai was about to transform into a fox, Lingxiang pulled him away, twisted her fingers to perform the Calm and Peaceful Technique, put up a shield and blocked the sword energy.
Seeing this, Long Sheng gathered his spirit into the sword and raised his hand to insert the sword into the ground.
The posture of this magic is obviously very powerful. This is happening inside the hospital. If he uses this trick, I'm afraid the whole building will be destroyed!
At this moment, Ling Xiang shouted: "Wait a minute, senior! Listen to me!"
Upon hearing this, Long Sheng snorted coldly: "Although you are a little girl, you are in league with the devil. What can I say!" As he said this, he was about to drop his sword.
In a flash, Xiaobai appeared in front of Long Sheng and grasped the sword firmly with just two fingers.
As soon as he touched the sword, Xiao Bai's hand began to emit black gas and hiss. The spiritual energy on the sword was burning his hand, but he didn't seem to care at all. He just leaned forward and said to Long Sheng face to face: "You also said that she is a little girl. What's the harm in listening to her? At such an old age, are you still afraid of a little girl?"
Hearing this, Long Sheng became angry. Maidong was still suffering in the house, and he didn't know how to deal with it. Now there was another monster coming. How could he have the heart to listen to her?
Long Sheng raised his hand and slapped Xiao Bai, but was caught steadily. At this time, Ling Xiang came close to him and saw what happened to Xiao Bai's hand. She quickly asked him to let go, then took out something from her bosom and said to Long Sheng:
"I just saw some familiar swordsmanship from the senior, so I think you recognize this thing."
Hearing this, Long Sheng turned his head and looked. When he saw what Ling Xiang was holding, his eyes widened in shock! What she held was actually...
“Panlong Jade!” Long Sheng exclaimed and looked at Lingxiang: “Where did you get this!?” Lingxiang didn’t answer him, but only helped Xiaobai’s hand up, checking his injuries while saying without raising her head: “I am also very curious, why did you use the “Channel Dragon Sword Technique”? As far as I know, it is the sword technique of the Nanhuai Exorcist Dragon Family.”
Long Sheng was even more surprised when he heard this: "You actually know the "Dragon Entangling Sword Technique"? Who are you?"
Seeing that Xiaobai's hand was fine, Lingxiang smiled and turned to Long Sheng and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it was you who handed the sword manual to Senior Brother Fuyin back then."
"You actually call Master Fuyin your senior brother. You are..." Long Sheng was full of suspicion, but he sheathed the sword in his hand. "I have never heard of someone like you in the Yuanqing Sect."
"Of course. Those old monsters kept my story secret. Most people, except those from the sect, don't know me. But since you are a cultivator, you must know about Youran Residence in Guyang City." Lingxiang said as she put away the Panlong Jade.
"I am the shopkeeper of Youranju, the ninth elder of Yuanqing Sect, and my Taoist name is Fucang."
Long Sheng was shocked. He had always heard that the owner of Youran Ju had amazing medicinal skills. He also heard Mai Dong talk about the young elder of Yuanqing Sect before. He didn't expect that they were the same person.
That must be Qi Ge'er's master. In this case, it is no wonder that she knows the "Dragon Sword Art".
Just as he was thinking about it, Old Zhang rushed out of the house and shouted at Long Sheng: "Hero! This girl doesn't look good!"
Lingxiang frowned when she heard this. She had heard from the soldiers defending the city that someone was scratched by a tiger. However, tigers are mountain gods and rarely leave the forest. Besides, she didn't see any big beasts along the way.
When Lingxiang thought of the monster's dismembered body she saw on the road earlier, she felt something was wrong and ran towards the house where Old Zhang came out.
"Ophiopogon japonicus!"
As soon as Lingxiang entered the room, she saw Maidong lying on the couch with his clothes cut open, revealing four claw marks on his back that left his skin and flesh torn. There was a black area around the claw marks, like snake scales.
"The poison of the devilish miasma!" Lingxiang was shocked and rushed forward to investigate.
When Long Sheng entered the room, he heard Lingxiang's exclamation. When he thought that she was the shopkeeper of Youran Ju, he thought that Maidong could be saved this time.
I saw her taking out the silver needles, twisting her fingers and making hand gestures while applying the needles. After a while, she had inserted Ophiopogon japonicus all over his back.
"How did she become like this?" Lingxiang asked after taking a deep breath after some lifting, inserting and twisting.
Long Sheng told the whole story from beginning to end, and Lingxiang frowned when she heard it.
It’s indeed Huanhuan!
She had been feeling uneasy before, always thinking that Maidong would be in danger on this trip, but she didn't expect it to be true!
"Can you cure this evil miasma poison?" Seeing Lingxiang remained silent, Long Sheng asked hurriedly.
Ling Xiang sighed: "Although I know how to drive away the miasma, with my cultivation level, I can't drive away the miasma for her..."
Long Sheng was shocked. If this was the case, Mai Dong would be dead! ?
Lingxiang was also helpless. She had just set up an acupuncture array on Maidong's back and injected spiritual power into her body. This would slow down the erosion of the evil miasma, but this was not a long-term solution!
But where can I find someone who is both well versed in medicine and has a high level of cultivation?
Just when Lingxiang was extremely anxious, she suddenly remembered Chi Yanzi. He was at the third level of the Golden Core Realm and had followed her mother for many years. He had learned a lot from her mother and was the perfect match for her!
She had previously given Taoist Chi Yanzi two letter talismans, and now they came in handy!
Thinking of this, Lingxiang hurried to the yard, took out a yellow talisman from her arms, and activated it with a flick of her finger.
When Long Sheng chased out, he saw the yellow talisman in Lingxiang's hand glowing. Although he had some cultivation, he was only a martial artist, not a Taoist. Seeing Lingxiang like this, he hurriedly asked Xiaobai who had been waiting outside, "What is she doing?"
Xiaobai smiled softly, he was very familiar with this little trick. When he was in the cave before, although the spiritual incense was concealed, he still noticed it.
"Waiting for someone."
When Xiaobai entered the room just now, he saw Maidong with his back bare, so he quickly retreated. But even with that one glance, he knew that Maidong's situation was not optimistic. However, he believed that Lingxiang must have a way to solve it. In his opinion, Lingxiang was extremely powerful, and even if there was no way, she would think of a way to create one.
Just when Long Sheng was puzzled, Lingxiang came to him, handed him a purse and said, "I still have many things to ask you, but I have so many things to do right now that I have no time to take care of them. This purse contains Liuxiang Pills. After half an incense stick, give Maidong one pill every hour."
As soon as he finished speaking, he said to Xiao Bai without saying anything else: "Senior Brother Chi Yanzi seems to have encountered some troubles. Fortunately, he is not far from here. Let's go there quickly. Now if we want to save Mai Dong, we can only rely on him."
Xiao Bai heard this and complained in his heart: This old guy, what kind of trouble has he gotten into again...
……
If there was any trouble that Taoist Chi Yanzi had gotten himself into, it was nothing else but a direct encounter with Yinghua. He could tell at a glance that Yinghua was a demon, and now he was fighting with her.
However, he had no suitable weapon, and the Golden Money Sword had not been repaired yet. He had no choice but to fight her with magic with his bare hands.
But Chi Yanzi is good at the Wubenxiang Jue, which is essentially an illusion. Illusions have no effect on Yinghuan at all. Now he can only barely hold on with the Five Elements magic.
Seeing Chi Yanzi like this, Yinghua twisted her waist and smiled charmingly at him: "Old man, you and I are not offending each other, and I have nothing to do with you, but you insist on finding trouble with me. It's really true that if you don't take the road to heaven, you will find hell without a door."
Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzi spat and said while twisting his fingers, "It would be fine if you demons were practicing properly, but you want to do things that are against the will of heaven and earth. Since I am a cultivator of Xuan, how can I just sit back and watch?!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and slapped the ground. Immediately, many branches and vines grew out of the ground, wrapping around and rushing towards Yinghuan.
But Yinghuan was not in a hurry. Facing the many branches and vines, she easily dodged them with a few quick moves. As she dodged, she smiled and said, "Good old fellow, I thought you only knew illusion, but it turns out you have some skills." After saying that, she disappeared in a flash.
Taoist Chi Yanzi was shocked when he saw this and looked around hurriedly. At this moment, Yinghuan suddenly appeared behind him and raised her claws to grab him.
Just as the claws shrouded in black mist were about to fall, a yellow talisman flew over and hit Huanhuan right on the chest.
Yinghua quickly stepped back and stretched out her hand to put out the fire on her chest. At this moment, a voice rang out:
"Brother! Take the sword!"
