Chapter 49: Xu Tongcheng Dao (two chapters in one)
No one could clearly see how Du Ziren was slapped, but everyone could clearly see the loud slap and the blood flowing from the corner of Po Meng's mouth.
Po Meng was even more dazed by the beating. She stretched out her hand and touched her burning left cheek. She looked at Du Ziren blankly, with disbelief on her face: "You dare to hit me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burning tingling sensation hit his right face.
"Snapped!"
This time the slap was even harder, causing Po Meng to stagger and almost fall.
"If you are wrong, you should be beaten!"
Du Ziren's voice was very crisp, without any scruples or mercy.
Now Po Meng was really hurt by the beating. She raised her head and glared at Du Ziren, opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't dare to say a word.
I squinted at the ghost emperors on the side, but I saw that these ghost emperors were unmoved, as if I didn't see anything.
Seeing this, Po Meng understood instantly, and couldn't help but sneer: "Haha, I understand, I was wrong. I thought I was a free and easy person, but I only found out who was in the game when I woke up from my dream. How calculating are these great emperors!"
After co-authoring and scheming together, the two of you made the world go crazy, and it turned out that the clown was actually you.
What else could Po Meng say?
Sure enough, the future is not trustworthy, and few who want to control the peepers will end well.
"Since you realize your mistake, please ask Po Meng to go back to the underworld on your own and wait for retribution."
The Qing Emperor opened his mouth to give Po Meng some face.
Po Meng turned around and glanced at Xu Tong unwillingly. Her inconspicuous behavior obviously made Du Ziren a little annoyed, and she urged impatiently: "If you don't leave yet, why don't you ask me to send you off?"
Po Meng noticed the impatience in Du Ziren's eyes, her heart trembled, she sighed, patted the green cow, then stood up and left.
As soon as Po Meng left, several ghost emperors also entered the carriage one after another, preparing to leave.
"Please Shentu stay!"
At this time, Master Xue Gui, who was standing next to Du Ziren, suddenly raised his hand and said, "That cauldron belongs to the disciples. It is a matter of life and death. Since Shen Tu has appreciated it, please return it to Shen Tu."
As soon as these words came out, Qingdi and others stopped and looked at Shen Tu with half-smiling smiles.
Shen Tu was also stunned for a moment, and looked at Xue Gui with some surprise. With just one glance, he seemed to have seen through Xue Gui's past and present lives, and immediately let out a faint smile: "He is indeed the man of destiny, so brave!"
With that said, he took out the small cauldron from his sleeve, tossed it casually, and threw it to Du Ziren.
"Thank you Shen Tu!"
Xue Gui and Mr. Song bowed their hands again, only to hear Shen Tu snort like a joke: "I can't bear it!"
After that, he walked into the carriage.
Upon seeing this, Qingdi and the others looked sideways at Xue Gui, and immediately got into the carriage, only to hear the neighing of the divine horse, and the carriages left one after another.
Du Ziren returned the small cauldron in his hand to Xue Gui, and said slightly dissatisfied: "If you are so reckless next time, I won't care about you."
In response, Xue Gui took the small tripod with a smile: "My grandson risked his life. As a master, I can't watch him lose his life and lose money. Otherwise, the people will be scattered and the team will be difficult to lead."
"Ah!"
Du Ziren curled his lips, but he couldn't tell that Xue Gui was complaining about him in a different way.
"There is no need to return the bow. This thing is given to him as compensation from me. I, Du Ziren, never treat my subordinates badly."
Du Ziren took out a small package from his sleeve and handed it to Xue, saying earnestly: "Old man, you have a good disciple."
After that, he turned around and walked back to the carriage.
Xue Gui and Mr. Song looked at each other, got off the carriage, and bowed to Du Ziren. He saw Du Ziren's carriage slowly turning around, and then a cold scolding came from the carriage: "You guys are still here."
What are you doing here, get out!"
After saying that, five rays of blue light emerged from the carriage, like five big hands covering the sky, grabbing at the surrounding woods.
Xia Yan, who was originally kidnapped by Chang Wuzhen, only felt his eyes blur. The next second, Zhou Mu and others were dragged behind the carriage and sped away.
“Is this the end??”
Chang Wuzhen looked confused. He didn't understand what happened from beginning to end. He still didn't know??
But when I looked again, I saw that the mount and the dagger in my hand had not been taken away. I thought that this trip was not a loss, so I immediately rode towards Xu Tong.
.
Xu Tong was unconscious for who knows how long. When he woke up, he only felt a splitting headache.
I could vaguely hear my master's voice in my ears.
"Xu Tong, Xu Tong..."
A soft call came, causing Xu Tong to gradually open his eyelids.
He blinked, and in the blurred vision in front of him, faces were swirling around him.
He immediately shook his head again and covered his forehead with his hand for a while before he finally came to his senses.
"Master? Master?"
Seeing that the master and master were all there, I turned around and saw that the eldest princess, the old Taoist, and Gu Xibai were all here.
"I……"
Xu Tong frowned, and a series of memories poured out of his mind. Then he remembered that he had been knocked unconscious. His mind suddenly buzzed, and he exclaimed: "Where is Lilith? What happened??"
After hearing Xu Tong's question, everyone suddenly fell silent.
The eldest princess helped Xu Tong up and looked aside with a complicated look: "You can't be blamed for this, it's not something you can stop."
Xu Tong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and a very bad premonition came over him.
Looking in the direction Lilith was looking, she saw those demon warriors forming a circle.
Seeing this, Xu Tong's face suddenly turned ugly. He pushed away the eldest princess's hand and rushed forward. When he saw Lilith lying on the ground, Xu Tong's face suddenly turned pale.
"this……"
Looking at the wound on Lilith's chest, Xu Tong's eyes instantly turned red. He turned back to look at the eldest princess and others: "Who killed her??"
"Meng Po!"
The eldest princess’s answer was decisive, but then she added another thought-provoking sentence: “It must also be Po Meng!”
Xu Tong was startled and looked at the eldest princess.
He has not yet been carried away by anger. Anyone can kill Lilith, but only Po Meng cannot.
Po Meng was not interested in Lilith at all, and she knew very well that Lilith was a hot potato.
She wants to kill Lilith, what is she trying to do??
Could it be that she wasn’t the one she wanted to kill?
All kinds of troubles came to his mind, making him want to ask for answers.
But even if you understand it, what's the point?
Walking to Lilith's side, looking at Lilith's messy hair and dusty face: "Give me some time."
The demon warriors beside Lilith hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped aside.
Xu Tong stretched out his hand and used the paper control technique, and suddenly a large piece of yellow paper surrounded him, forming a circle of shielding screen.
Then he took out a few things, including sharp knives, nail clippers, needlework and other items, intending to tidy up Lilith's appearance.
"Do you need help? Girls' things are always much more sophisticated than men's."
At this time, the eldest princess stood outside and said.
Xu Tong was startled, then nodded and let the eldest princess in.
I saw the eldest princess taking out some rouge and gouache from her purse: "I'll tidy up my appearance, and you can treat the wounds."
Xu Tong nodded, took out the scissors, cut open the clothes on Lilith's chest, and looked at the hole in her chest. Through the wound, you could see an empty heart under the punctured flesh and blood.
Lilith's words flashed through my mind: "In this world, I only believe in you."
Thinking of this, Xu Tong's eyes revealed a deep sense of frustration.
He knew in his heart that even if the murderer was not Po Meng, no matter who could kill Lilith so simply, he would not be able to seek justice from the other party.
"After all, I am too weak!"
I thought that I could defeat Zhang Haisheng, and even be able to press and rub the enlightened person who was one level above me on the ground. I already had enough capital.
But it wasn't until today that he realized that compared to those truly superior figures, he, an ant, could only move forward according to their fingers.
Even until the answer to the mystery was revealed, even though he realized that he had become a pawn in the hands of those big shots, he had no idea what he had done.
This feeling simply made Xu Tong roar inwardly.
The eldest princess stood aside and saw the change in Xu Tong's expression and the flash of madness in his eyes. She immediately frowned, worried that Xu Tong would blame himself too much for Lilith's death and leave his inner demons behind.
So I could only try to explain: "This matter is not your fault in the first place. There are many conditions for the death of gods. Lilith's death can only mean that her luck is at the end and has nothing to do with you."
Hearing this, Xu Tong raised his head and looked at the eldest princess: "Do you know what's going on?"
"I don't know. If you want to know the whole story, you can ask your old man. He came with the Ghost Emperor Du Ziren. He knows best what is going on."
The eldest princess looked at Xu Tong: "I just want to tell you that the gods are very foresighted about their own fall. Perhaps Lilith has anticipated this day from the beginning. Think about it, whether she will die before she dies.
Give you something important."
When Xu Tong heard what the eldest princess said, he was stunned for a moment, and the first thing that came to his mind was the key.
But what exactly is that key? Lilith didn't tell herself.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong calmed down for a moment and thought about various possibilities.
But until he sutured Lilith's wound, Xu Tong never figured out why Lilith left this key to him.
"alright!"
At this time, the eldest princess had already put new makeup on Lilith: "I want to change her clothes, are you sure you want to stay here?"
Xu Tong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No!"
As he said that, he was about to walk out.
"head!"
When Gao Zhuo and others saw Xu Tong coming out, they immediately rushed forward. Gao Zhuo didn't know how to comfort Xu Tong.
So he could only pretend to be carefree and said: "Although our mission failed this time, it was still a worthwhile trip. We went up to the Youshan Mountain, down to the dog cave, and oh, there was also the big black dog raised by Mr. Fu.
The dogs were beaten to tears by us!"
Gu Xibai on the side rolled his eyes when he heard this: "You are so shameless. You were chased by a dog and you were jumping up and down. If we hadn't helped you, you would have turned into a piece of shit. It's really all in vain. The fat monk gave you the tips."
And the cloth bag, if I had known earlier, I might as well have left it to us."
"What kind of kit and cloth bag?"
Xu Tong raised his eyebrows and looked at the three of them doubtfully.
Gu Xibai told Xu Tong everything about the fat monk taking them to the dog cave.
When he heard the end, the big black dog was hit by a cloth bag and ran away in despair, Xu Tong suddenly thought of the big black dog that pulled him up the mountain.
Suddenly, Xu Tong's eyes widened, his pupils trembled, and he muttered silently without realizing it: "Soldiers at the foot of the mountain conquer the dangerous peaks, and the fragrance of the withered cypresses and peach blossoms disappears. The devil's heart is exchanged for the bodhi fruit, and the exquisite body opens up and takes root."
"The devil's heart is exchanged for the Bodhi fruit, and Linglong's enlightenment takes root!"
There was a buzz in Xu Tong's head, and he immediately ran back like crazy.
"Hey, head??"
Seeing that Gao Zhuo was speaking well, Xu Tong suddenly turned around and ran back, feeling somewhat confused.
"tear!"
He tore open the screen and saw that the eldest princess was changing Lilith's clothes. Seeing this, she quickly reached out to cover Lilith's chest.
When he saw it was Xu Tong, he couldn't help but frowned again: "What are you doing here??"
Xu Tong didn't have time to explain. He just rushed to Lilith's body and stared into the eyes of the eldest princess: "You just said that there are conditions for the fall of gods, right?"
The eldest princess was confused by Xu Tong's inexplicable question. However, she has never been the kind of woman who is nagging. Since Xu Tong asked, she replied: "Yes, the most important thing is the godhead, but
Her divine personality has been blocked by Youxuan Dan, so when she is killed, she is equivalent to death."
Hearing this, Xu Tong couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the doubts in his heart suddenly cleared up.
No wonder Lilith named herself to be her guide. It turned out that he was the key to saving her from the very beginning.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong said to the eldest princess: "Help me protect the law!"
"Um??"
The eldest princess was startled, nodded, stretched out her hand and summoned the infinite black water, completely surrounding it.
At this time, Xu Tong took out the Black Water Dragon Tooth Dagger.
This dagger once pierced his own body, and its sharpness was no less than that of the Pure Yang Sword.
Xu Tong was seen holding the dagger behind his back, re-opening the sutured wound on Lilith's chest, and then taking off his shirt.
There is a special mark imprinted on his heart, which is the curse planted by Lilith. This curse contains part of the power of Lilith's godhead.
Along with Xu Tong's thoughts, the curse was gradually activated.
"Bang bang bang..."
The heart sensed the master's power and began to beat faster.
"Boy, don't do anything stupid!!"
Mortas was also alarmed. As the demon king parasitic on Xu Tong, he could sense Xu Tong's thoughts and immediately spoke to stop Xu Tong from doing this.
"If you do this, you will die!"
The eldest princess saw the mark on Xu Tong's heart and understood Xu Tong's thoughts, and immediately reminded him.
"Oh yes!"
Xu Tong patted his forehead and smiled at the eldest princess: "I almost forgot about this thing."
I saw Xu Tong take out something like a pearl from the props book and put it in his hand.
[Yellow Spring Fruit] (from Chapter 32 of this volume)
Holding this thing, the living will not fall into hell, and the dead will not scatter their spirits.
Passive skill 1: Death delay
When the holder suffers fatal damage, the passive effect is triggered. After triggering, the holder can maintain his health for 3 hours.
This object was a gift given by King Linghuo to test Xu Tong when he invited him to Taocheng.
This thing happens to come in handy at this moment.
Seeing this, the eldest princess still disagreed: "This thing can only keep you alive for three hours, what about after three hours? Have you thought clearly?"
"Then let's take a gamble and see if I can survive."
Xu Tong put away the underworld fruit and held the dagger behind his back. Looking at the eldest princess' nervous expression, he raised his eyebrows playfully: "Trust me!"
He slowly raised the dagger, but before it fell, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"In this case, why not come with me!"
As the eldest princess spoke, she twisted her fingers, snatched the dagger from Xu Tong's hand, and struck Xu Tong's heart with the knife.
"Ah! It hurts so much!!"
“What is the head doing??”
Gao Zhuo and three others stood outside and waited, but the eldest princess used black water to seal the surrounding area. No matter how anxious they were, they didn't know what was going on inside.
"etc!!"
At this time, Gu Xibai suddenly stretched out his hand to signal Gao Zhuo to calm down.
Then prick up your ears and listen carefully.
“What did you hear??”
Gao Zhuo and Chang Wenzhen saw this and came over.
Gu Xibai signaled the two of them to be quiet: "It seems like... a heartbeat!"
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Just listen to the sound of a strong and powerful heartbeat coming from behind the black water in front of you.
Xu Tong held the heart in his hands, his eyes gradually became intense, and he saw wisps of strange and inexplicable aura wrapped around the heart, causing every beat of the heart to exude pure dark power.
"You saved me last time, and I'll give it back to you this time. Unfortunately, it won't be easy to eat your cooking again."
Xu Tong took a deep breath and put the heart in his hand into Lilith's body again.
At the moment when the heart and Lilith's body merged again, the heart gradually stretched out its slender blood vessels and merged with Lilith's body again.
Suddenly, a strange power surged out of her heart, Lilith's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heartbeat was beating faster and faster, as if it contained some strange rhythm.
Even the eldest princess felt that her heart rate was affected and began to accelerate.
"Bang bang bang..."
Realizing that the strange heartbeat was getting faster and faster, the eldest princess frowned and had to step back until she completely exited the water curtain.
Not only the eldest princess, this strange heartbeat sound became louder and louder, and gradually even the black water could not stop it. Gao Zhuo and others outside also began to realize that their own heartbeats were also affected.
"Something's wrong, get out of here!"
Gu Xibai's face changed slightly, and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster. It was also a great burden for them, and he immediately stepped back.
"Huh??"
The old man on the carriage in the distance raised his head and his eyes became confused. He took out six copper coins and threw them on the ground. He couldn't help but widen his eyes when he looked at the hexagram in front of him.
"It's weird, why is it this hexagram again???"
The old Taoist was particularly familiar with the hexagram in front of him, because this was the second time he had divined such a hexagram. The first time was when he met Xu Tong, and the hexagram divined for him was to live toward death.
I thought that this hexagram was already a very rare hexagram, but I didn't expect to encounter this hexagram again today.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The heartbeat beat one after another, as strong as the drum of Kui Niu.
At this time, Xu Tong's ears suddenly twitched, and he heard the sound of something breaking. He called out the props book, glanced at it, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, and reached out to grab the props book.
A stone appeared in his hand. The stone was as clear as jade. It was Xu Tong's opportunity for enlightenment in heaven.
At this moment, under the beating of Lilith's heart, the stone in Xu Tong's hand gradually developed cracks. Listen carefully, and you can hear the same heartbeat sound coming from the stone.
"The devil's heart is exchanged for the bodhi fruit, and Linglong's enlightenment takes root."
Xu Tong looked at the stone in his hand and recited the strange prophecy silently. The meaning of this sentence was immediately understood in his mind, and he saw him placing his heart on his chest.
Then he sat cross-legged next to Lilith, closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his heart.
Every time Lilith's heart beats, Xu Tong can feel the subtle vibration in his chest.
It's like something is cracking from the stone.
Suddenly there was a "click!", and a small hole opened in the stone, followed by the second and third, and more and more holes appeared in the stone.
The strange thing is that these round holes seem to be alive at this moment, and they begin to open slightly. After breathing in the surrounding breath, wisps of crystal light pour out from the stone, reconnecting Xu Tong's disconnected heart veins.
.
Suddenly a strange feeling surged into Xu Tong's body, as if his whole body was wrapped in a warm force.
"boom!"
A strange aura surged out from Xu Tong's body, breaking out of the blockade of the eldest princess's black water, and then rushed straight into the sky. Three brilliant Dao fruits appeared behind Xu Tong, each Dao fruit shimmering with gleaming light.
.
"Enlightenment!!"
On the carriage shaft, the old Taoist's eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide in surprise at the bright light in front of him.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
"This kid!!"
Master Xue Gui and Master Song also poked their heads out of the carriage. Seeing this, Mr. Song was already grinning from ear to ear. His eyes were not only filled with pride, but also pride. After all, for a disciple in the enlightened realm, if this is allowed,
In ancient times, this alone was enough to make him famous.
"Huh!!"
At the top of the secluded mountain, the white-haired old man had already retreated, but after taking two steps back, he suddenly noticed something and looked eastward, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Enlightenment!!"
It wasn't just him who was surprised, the ghost emperors who had left at this moment also felt something.
He counted with his fingers, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Although they were surprised in their hearts, their expressions inevitably turned weird. They all looked away. They didn't expect such a result.
Du Ziren lifted the car curtain with his fingers, looked back, and frowned for a moment.
"Would you like to..."
A sneaky shadow appeared next to Du Ziren, and he saw that the shadow was holding a long bow, and the dark arrows were already on the bowstring.
"That's it, it's too late."
Du Ziren waved his hand, and upon seeing this, the shadow retreated into Du Ziren's shadow and disappeared.
Looking at the strange light flashing in the east, Du Ziren suddenly laughed, looked in the direction of Youshan again, and said meaningfully: "Sure enough, if you stand high, you can see far..."
