Volume 9, Chapter 76, War Clouds 7(1/3)
"My sister Yao Jing, seeing each other is like meeting each other. During the battle of the Book of Heaven, you and I met by fate. Although the time was short, we were still the same. We should have joined hands to continue the friendship of fighting against the enemy, but we did not want to follow each other's sect and defend one side. Although
There is only a mountain between us, but it seems as if the end of the world is out of reach. I send you the "Lingsu Paper Crane" to express your love. When my sister sees my name, she knows that I am well. I send the Wanxiang Tiangong and the Huazhang Confucian Mansion to guard the Tianshi Cave.
Although the Hell Realm wanted to separate Yin and Yang, and the two realms were attacking, fortunately the leader of the Confucian Sect, Luo Xiaoyi, stopped the ghost cloud from outside, and I sent my junior sister Zuo Feiying to seal it firmly inside. Although the Hell Realm attacked fiercely, it was unable to break through.
I wonder how my sister is doing guarding Dieyoulin? I hope everything is well. Also, I can use my magic power to write on the 'Lingsu Paper Crane'. After writing, I fold it into the shape of a crane, and the paper crane will fly back to my hand."
"Nie Lang, the letter has been received, it is difficult to say that everything is well. I have sent Youtan Jingzong and Foxin Chanyuan to guard the Dieyou Forest together. The Dieyou Forest is as its name suggests, the forest is deep and dense, and the roars of beasts are heard from time to time.
I was always on tenterhooks, always thinking that the beast was coming. So when the beast really attacked, I felt relaxed for a moment, at least I no longer had to tense up. But just for that moment, the next moment, I saw
Senior Sister Liu, who was sleeping with me, was bitten on the leg by a tiger and was pulled to the ground. She was in so much pain that she lost her usual demeanor and cried out to me for help. But I was so frightened that I forgot all my moves for a while.
I just used the torch in my hand to beat the tiger, but after knocking the tiger down, another beast with crab claws came over. I was knocked down by him with one move, and his claws were placed on my neck. Fortunately, the Buddha
King Da Deming of Xinchanyuan rescued me and threw me back into the formation. After that, I seemed to be scared out of my mind. I was just listening to others' orders like a zombie. I was in the safest place in the formation, using magic to help strengthen some defenses.
By the time I came back to my senses, the animal path had temporarily retreated.
Only then did I see Senior Sister Liu who was sleeping with me. She was also brought back to the formation, but her legs were not brought back with her. She was gone below the knees. She had already died due to excessive blood loss.
What she is most proud of is her long legs, which she always prides herself on... I hate myself for being too timid, otherwise I might be able to save her, but more importantly, I am afraid that tomorrow I will be like her and end up with a mutilated body.
.Only when I write to you can I have a moment of peace of mind. The letter has been sent back. I hope I can receive your reply tomorrow."
"Sister Yaojing, it is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. Please don't blame yourself. I am ashamed to say that on the day when Wanxiang Heavenly Palace fell, my performance was even worse. Seeing my fellow disciples die tragically in front of my eyes, I felt frightened for a moment.
, I could only flee blindly. Fortunately, Junior Sister Zuo Feiying opened the way with her own body, revived the people's hearts, and led everyone to break out. I was able to save my life. I think that although Junior Sister Zuo is young, her cultivation and courage are ten times better than mine.
Thinking about that day makes me feel regretful and ashamed. I only hope that today, I can avenge the previous shame and avenge the blood feud of my master. My sister is also a heroine. In order to protect the righteousness of the world, I will go on expeditions and come from thousands of miles to help. We will fight against the Six Paths together with courage and courage.
You are no longer inferior to Junior Sister Zuo of our faction, how can you feel sorry for yourself?
Speaking of Junior Sister Zuo, she has been guarding the Yin-Yang Seal for a day and a night without stopping. When I last saw her, she was sweating like rain, her face was like gold paper, and she was almost exhausted. I just hate that my cultivation is shallow and I can't stand for Junior Sister.
To share the worries, we can only unite with the Confucian disciples outside the Tianshi Cave to fight against the intrusion of thousands of ghosts and clouds. Tonight, the intrusion in the hell realm is even more sinister. The ghosts and clouds are still far away, beyond the reach of bows and arrows, and only the ghost birds are released to intrude.
, whenever someone on our side dies, his body is immediately invaded by ghost birds. He lives as a robe and dies as an enemy bandit. It is ridiculous that I, a bandit of the Six Paths, have already killed two of my former comrades before I was killed. I only hope that when I die,
My soul is gone, my bones are gone, I don’t want to worry about my robe. It’s too short to describe it all, so please take care of me, my sister.”
"Nie Lang, I have mentioned your Junior Sister Zuo many times. I think she must be an unparalleled talent. I understand how you feel. Although there are people around us who are the same age as us, we can only look up to us. In the past, I was often jealous of my celestial daughter, thinking that
She was just born with good luck, so she was able to acquire the supreme cultivation level for free with her mediocre talent. Now we know how much courage it takes for her to fight against the extremely fierce evil? I am far inferior to the goddess of heaven, and I dare not fight against it.
You sent Zuo Feiying and called me a heroine, I am just an ordinary person who was frightened by the beast.
After writing you a letter yesterday, I exhausted all my energy. I fell asleep with blood all over my body. I also dreamed about Senior Sister Liu who was sleeping with me. She had lost her legs and could only crawl over and drag out two legs on the ground.
There were blood marks on her face, and she accused me of being jealous of her long and beautiful legs, so she intentionally caused her legs to be bitten off by wild beasts, and even rushed over to take my legs away. At this moment, I was awakened by the noise, and the beast suddenly attacked me again.
Camp. It turns out that they have never gone far, just like a predator playing with its prey. If we relax a little, they will show their fangs and pounce on us. When we stabilize our position, they immediately retreat. It is such a constant intrusion.
Since yesterday, everyone in our party has been unable to eat well or sleep well. Even my short letter, which I have written to this point, has been written intermittently four times.
Today's battle was even more brutal. There were more wounded than yesterday, but fewer dead. My master told me that this was done intentionally by the beasts, who wanted to use the wounded to slow down our mobility.
Vajra King Vajra was seriously injured yesterday, but there were too many wounded and could not be treated in time. Now the wound is infected and pus is flowing, and the high fever does not go away. It turns out that when Vajra King Vajra is so sick and has a fever that he talks nonsense, he is not praying for the blessing of the Buddha, but just like ordinary people, he
He calls out to his parents, does he know that Buddha can’t protect us?
I seem to smell the fishy smell of wild beasts again. I feel that the beasts will come soon, or they have already come. Now they are staring at me in the forest, grinding their teeth and drooling, thinking about how to tear me apart.
The next few days are destined to be sleepless, but fortunately, I don’t have to have nightmares anymore..."
"My sister Yaojing, the letter has been received. You can imagine how dangerous the battle in Dieyoulin is. I heard that in the town at the foot of the mountain, the Zhengtian Alliance who resisted the hungry ghosts also suffered heavy casualties.
If someone dies in the Hell Realm or the Beast Realm, it may be difficult to leave a whole body, but if he dies in the Hungry Ghost Realm, there will really be no bones left. I heard that the Zhengtian Alliance killed 311 people yesterday, but only found 70
With the two corpses, people from all the factions participating in the alliance fell into the mouths of hungry ghosts. Some small sects even wiped out their families in one day, creating a gloomy mist. Fortunately, the Mu alliance leader fought with blood to inspire the hearts of the people and try to keep the defense line intact.
Today is the third day of the garrison. There are still two days left before the master of our sect is cured. The heroes of various sects, including Yao Jing’s sister, are guarding Qingcheng to fight against the Six Paths and protect the master of our sect.
This kind of kindness will never be forgotten. But I believe that it is all worth it! The leader of my faction has the ability to overturn the situation and turn things around. When he recovers, he will definitely be able to sweep away the six evils and clarify the world. Until then.
, I will definitely ask the head master to go to Youtan Jingzong in person to propose marriage to your master. You are a lay disciple, so your master will not make things difficult for me, right?
Alas, I was rude. It was really inappropriate for me to talk about marriage when everyone was fighting. Last night, Luo Xiaoyi, the altar master, couldn't stand the ghosts and disasters. He only released ghost birds outside the range of the bow and arrow. At dawn, the ghosts and disasters were everywhere.
When the cloud retreated, he led a group of Confucian elites to pursue them in stealth, and finally shot an arrow through the sky, severely injuring Ten Thousand Ghosts and Xiangyun. However, only seven of the twenty-three Confucian elites who went with him came back. Tonight, outside the Tianshi Cave
As expected, the offensive was weakened by the wounds of Wangui Xiangyun, but in the Tianshi Cave, the offensive from the ghost world was even more violent. Junior Sister Zuo, who had been suppressing the sealing formation for two nights, finally couldn't hold on anymore and fainted and vomited blood on the spot.
, Uncle Chu Wufei, who was originally guarding the formation, took over for her, but Master Chu also consumed too much real energy in the process of guarding the formation. He only lasted for the first half of the night, and then he passed out from exhaustion. In the second half of the night, she was replaced.
Uncle Yin Wuqian lost his eyes during the fall of Kunlun. He should have been able to retire peacefully, but among the "Wu" generation, he was the only one who still had some strength left, so he destroyed his Qihai and forcibly upgraded his cultivation.
Because there was only one person and no one else to protect the formation, the seal was extended for half the night. When daylight fell, he had turned into an old man with white hair, sitting on the eye of the formation...
I have never felt that a night can be so long, but fortunately, if you wait a little longer, the day will come."
"I can't wait any longer, Nie Lang, take me away, please!
I don't want to die, I don't want to die here!
Dieyoulin could no longer defend itself. Not long ago, two giant beasts suddenly descended from the sky. One had the body of a tiger and horns, was covered in spikes, and had wings on its back. The other was shaped like a giant snake, but had eagle claws and bat wings.
King Kongoming was still in a coma when the giant snake spat out corrosive venom on his body. Right before my eyes, his whole body was melted into sticky juice! No! I don’t dare to think about it. I just can’t bear to think about that scene.
He was about to vomit out all the bile.
Then, the winged tiger shot out sharp thorns all over its body. My arm was hit by two thorns and was nailed to the wall. However, I managed to escape with my life. Several fellow disciples and sisters next to me were riddled with bullets.
, turned into unrecognizable human-shaped sieves, and now I can’t tell who they are...
It's been three days, and the beasts still have such fighting power. How many killing moves do they still have that they haven't used yet?
The two giant beasts wreaked havoc, destroying most of the fortifications, and then flew away under the cover of other beasts. When the giant snake flew away, I clearly noticed that it looked back at me, and the ocher-yellow snake looked back at me.
The vertical pupils, that cold and wet gaze, drove me crazy. I heard that snakes have excellent memories, so they must be thinking about me!
Nie Lang, I can't hold on any longer. This time the sect master took us down the mountain to train us, but it turns out that I can't be trained. I don't want to die here. I will leave secretly tonight. I am not worthy of you, I
I have no face to force you to betray our school like me and become a deserter with me, but I will wait for you in the place where you and I have decided to stay forever... I don’t know whether I should expect you to come or hope you don’t come? Forgive me.
Once again, I am cowardly and leave this problem to you. No matter what your decision is, I will not complain."
"Yao Jing, don't leave the position lightly! Those two monsters are Qiongqi and Feiyi among the four beast gods. They are second only to the Tao Master in combat power in the animal realm. Because of their ferocity and untamable nature, they were left alone in the past.
Guarding at the rear, but now appearing on the front line, it can be seen that the beast is at the end of its crossbow, and wants to make a desperate move. If I stay in the formation and stick to it, the victory or defeat is still a matter of life or death. If I leave alone, I may be in danger. Please think of it.
Be careful!"
"Yao Jing, I haven't seen your reply to my previous letter, but everything is fine? But because I am willing to leave with my sister, you feel guilty towards me? Why don't I want to join hands with my sister in the world? In fact, because the sect's blood feud has not been avenged, justice is
It is difficult to have both ends of personal relationships. Now the sun is setting, the fourth night is approaching, and thousands of ghosts and clouds will come again at night. In the next few hours, I may not have time to exchange letters with my sister. Please tell me that you are safe as soon as possible to ease my heart.
!”
"Yao Jing, it's the fourth night now. As expected, Wan Gui Pai Yun has arrived again during the night, and this time, it's pressing on the top of the mountain. After three consecutive nights of fierce fighting, Wan Gui Pai Yun's ghost birds have been exhausted and they can no longer hide.
Consuming our combat power in the distance, tonight, thousands of ghosts and calamity clouds shrouded the sky above Tianshi Cave, and a real head-on confrontation began. Under the calamity clouds, our Yuan Gong was suppressed, and if any personnel were killed in battle, their souls would be
Inhaled into the cloud of disaster, irritated and enslaved, tonight is more dangerous than the night before. Fortunately, the Wanxiang Tiangong formation has never been inferior to others. The Qingcheng Mountain Thousand Years Dojo is exactly the same as the Buwo Taoist formation, and the Hell Dao dares to get close.
Fighting is also what we want. Whether the devil is one foot higher or the Tao is one foot higher is still undecided.
Compared to the situation outside Tianshi Cave, the situation inside the cave is even more worrying. With four nights of non-stop impact, the formation under Tianshi Cave has already cracked. I don’t know when, all the ghosts will break out of the formation. Junior Sister Zuo is still unconscious.
, the remaining four uncles took turns guarding the formation, but like a lamp burning oil, the rate of recovery of true energy was far less than the rate of consumption, and it would bottom out sooner or later. Unless... someone bought time for them to adjust their breath. And that person,
That's me.
I am writing this letter now, not because I still have time, but because this is the last one. I have thought of the way to have both the sect and you, and my whole body is worthy of the Wanxiang Celestial Palace.
Professor, I will follow the example of Master Yin Wuqian tonight, use up all my cultivation, suppress the seal, even if it can only last for a moment and a half, I can give you a chance to breathe. After that, you can go to your appointment with my sister without any worries.
Hand in hand, we will never be separated. When the time comes, please don’t dislike me, sister, because I am an ordinary person who has lost all my cultivation."
"Nie Lang, you are true to your word, but I have broken my promise. I want to kill the ferocious beast before I leave. It swallowed my master, right in front of my eyes!"
I wanted to leave secretly, but the master discovered me. I always couldn't hide it from her, just like before when I tried to escape from morning classes and play, but she always caught me. But this time, she didn't catch me back.
He looked at me faintly, as if he was disappointed and reluctant to give up.
But in the end she didn't say much, she just stuffed some money and stuff into me and told me the safest way to get away. She also pulled out her jade hairpin and gave it to me, saying that although it was not valuable, it could be used as a dowry.
, I can’t let you think that my natal family has no one and is abandoned by you.
It turns out that she had already seen what happened between us, but at this moment, the damn beast came again!
Fat Yi was coiled on a tree next to him, and he suddenly swallowed Master in one gulp. I wanted to save Master, but Fat Yi's snake scale sword was hard to hurt, so my attack had no effect, and was quickly dispersed by other beasts that rushed towards me.
, just watched it wreak havoc and walked away.
It's all my fault. If I hadn't wanted to leave, the master wouldn't have been distracted and wouldn't have died.
Nie Lang, I can finally understand how you feel. It turns out that when a loved one dies in front of you, and when the regrets are piled up to the extreme, you will no longer be afraid. I am now calmer than ever before, and my hands that have been shaking for four days are finally no longer
I am trembling, and I have also thought of a way to avenge my master. The beast will come again soon, please wait for me for a moment, I will go find you, for sure."
