Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty One: Jiang Zhong reached Gao Ling, laughing loudly
Why is Xuan Miao so panicked?
Because in her current state, there is no way she can defeat this sand monster.
This place of forbidden laws has formed its own rules of heaven, which are so powerful and stable that it makes people despair. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you will still have no magic power when you come here.
If she had prepared in advance, she would of course have some means of self-protection. But she was unexpectedly moved to the Forbidden Desert, and she had no preparation at all before.
Poor Mahayana master, after being injured and poisoned, in this desert of forbidden laws, only the strength of a warrior monk is left.
And this sand monster is a second-level monster. Outside, it is an ant. But in this forbidden land, the second-level monster is a high-level powerhouse.
The sand monster gurgled and screamed, revealing the white bones in the sand. It stretched out its long tongue, exuding a disgusting stench, and slowly moved towards Xuanmiao.
The sand monster is not low in intelligence, but it cannot communicate with people and is extremely bloodthirsty. The sand monster's favorite thing is to eat people and then implant human bones into its body.
The more bones are implanted, the stronger it becomes.
Xuan Miao is simply desperate.
She could only wield a powerless wooden sword to block the sand monster from approaching, while slowly retreating towards a nearby ancient tomb.
Although the strength of the sand monster is far superior to Xuan Miao, it is still a little afraid of Xuan Miao.
Because the Taoist robe pattern on Xuanmiao's chest made it very uncomfortable, and the wooden sword also gave it an unspeakable danger.
In fact, there is no danger, but the wooden sword is a Taoist weapon. Even if it has no magic power at this time, it still has a deterrent effect on ghosts.
Mysteriously, it was through this little threat that the sand monster did not pounce immediately.
Finally, she retreated to the huge ancient tomb, and a cold breath blew out from the tomb passage, which immediately made her feel a lot of relief.
She quickly retreated to the entrance of the tomb passage.
When the sand monster saw her retreating to the entrance of the tomb, he didn't dare to come over. It seemed that he had some kind of fear of the ancient tomb.
Xuan Miao breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't bear the heat. Seeing the coolness of the ancient tomb, she simply entered the tomb passage to take a breather.
Xuan Miao entered the underground palace and discovered that the underground palace had collapsed a lot, but there was a chill in the middle. No wonder it was so cool.
It's a pity that the cold jade ice in Han's heart is gone. Otherwise, picking up a few pieces of cold jade can reduce the scorching heat outside.
"Huh?" Xuanmiao suddenly saw an epitaph.
"It turns out to be the tomb of Empress Cui Yi in ancient times." Xuan Miao understood.
However, no relics or clothes of the empress were found here.
On the contrary, a female body was found under the big pillar.
Of course, this female corpse is not that of the empress, but a woman who has been dead for more than twenty years.
The female corpse's face was ashen and she had been strangled to death. There was a deep strangulation mark on the female corpse's neck.
"She was strangled to death." Xuan Miao shook her head, "I don't know who killed her, the method was quite cruel."
Xuanmiao squatted down and took a closer look at the body to see if he could find anything useful.
But as soon as her hand touched the body of the female corpse, she couldn't help but tremble.
No, this is not a female corpse!
Although she lost all her magic power in the Forbidden Land, her eyesight was still there. The touch on her hands told her that this was definitely not a female corpse.
This is simply a corpse disguised as a corpse.
It's a monster.
Unfortunately, Xuanmiao's body reacted too slowly at this time. Before she could stand up, the female corpse suddenly sat up, stretched out her claws, and immediately grabbed Xuanmiao's neck.
"Uh..." Xuanmiao only made a half-sounding groan before his neck was pinched and he was lifted into the air.
The physical strength of the human race is related to mana. Even if you are a strong body refiner, once you lose your mana, your physical strength will not be much stronger than that of a mortal.
The so-called strong ones in physical training actually rely on mana to practice. If your mana is gone, how can you still have the physical strength you had before?
Without the blessing of mana, how can the strength of the physical body be maintained? Even if it is much stronger than a mortal, it is still a body of flesh and blood.
Poor Mahayana Master Xuan Miao, one of the best in the world, was being choked by a mere zombie, and his tongue was sticking out.
In the forbidden land, the guardian shadow cannot be activated. Even if she dies, the guardian shadow will not appear.
The zombie's claws slowly tightened, trying to crush her neck.
But Xuan Miao was a strong body-refiner after all, and her neck bones were so tough that they were not crushed at once.
Shisha's other hand reached out and grabbed at Xuan Miao's heart, wanting to take out the heart and eat it. The human heart and brain are the most nourishing.
But just as its fingers pierced Xuanmiao's heart, before it had time to take out the heart, it screamed and threw Xuanmiao violently.
At the same time, the corpse's hand, which was stained with mysterious blood, also began to melt strangely.
"Ah - the zombie let out a blood-curdling scream, and even escaped from the tomb in a flash.
There were five blood holes in Xuan Miao's heart, gurgling with dark blood.
"Ahem..."
"puff-"
Master Xuanmiao gasped for air, coughed, vomited black blood, and was covered in sweat.
Do you know why her blood can hurt the corpse?
It's also destiny.
It turned out that after she was poisoned, her blood was poisoned and became highly toxic.
That was the poison personally administered by the Medicine Master Jiang Zhongda. How powerful was it? The corpse demon tried to take out her heart, but it got her blood and was immediately poisoned.
Although it is a forbidden place, the poison is still a poison, and the poison will not become ineffective just because it comes to a forbidden place.
The zombie that Hua Ji transformed into would probably be poisoned and die, and he wouldn't even be able to become a zombie.
"Haha..." Xuanmiao was lying on the ground and suddenly couldn't help but laugh, tears of laughter came out.
She never imagined that it was the poison in her body that saved her life!
Where to follow?
What is this?
So ridiculous.
The girl looked at the ink-like blood on her chest and couldn't help but said: "The blood all over my body has turned black, but it can't poison me. This poison is really weird."
She tore off a strip of her robe, bandaged the wound on her chest, and then took a breath.
Analyzing the reasons for my failure, I think I was too inexperienced in the world. I had been cultivating in the mountains before, and I lacked insight into the unpredictable nature of people's hearts.
In the words of the Master, it is: Although I am as smart as ice and snow, I don’t know that people’s hearts are sinister.
Otherwise, she has every chance to secure her position as Lord of the Zhou Dynasty, at least she won't be unaware of it after being plotted against her.
Until now, she still doesn't know when she was poisoned.
After much deliberation, the most likely possibility is still in the palace.
The poisoner may be one of Yu Kuan's people; it may also be that the poisoner is Yu Kuan's enemy and thinks he is Yu Kuan to plot against him, but ends up blocking the thunder for Yu Kuan.
Alas, a few days ago, she was the empress of the Zhou Dynasty who was aloof and powerful, capable of mobilizing millions of troops.
But in just a few days, it had fallen to this point.
The world is dangerous.
Thinking of this, Xuanmiao couldn't help but cough again, feeling like she was about to vomit all the blood.
At this moment, what she wanted most was to drink water.
So thirsty!
Xuan Miao got up and looked for water everywhere, but where could she find a drop of water?
She knew very well that if there was no water within a day, she would die.
There is no other option but to leave here and risk death to find water.
Holding a wooden sword, the female Taoist priest left the ancient tomb and once again trekked through the scorching hot desert.
Every time she found a corpse in the desert, she couldn't help but stop and look for any water bladders.
But every time, I was disappointed.
Fortunately, her wound had not healed at this time, and was still exuding terrifying poisonous energy, which made her aura become very ominous, and no monsters would eat her for a while.
After another half a day, Xuan Miao screamed every day and the sky refused to respond, and the earth and the earth became inoperable. Due to the extreme lack of water, he finally collapsed.
It's over.
The moment Xuanmiao fell down, he knew it would be difficult for him to stand up again.
Unexpectedly, she died of heat and thirst in this forbidden desert while she was teaching Taoism so solemnly.
But this desert does not exist. This is the most prosperous and beautiful area in Guanzhong.
Is this a causal cycle?
Well, when you think about it, it’s not unfair to die here?
But she was so unwilling to do so. What happened back then had nothing to do with her.
While Xuan Miao was in a daze, he suddenly heard a "woof" sound.
Hmm? It seems like a dog barking?
The question is, where did the dog come from here?
In the midst of mysterious confusion, I heard the sound of a dog barking not far away.
"Woof woof!"
"Woof woof woof!"
This time I heard it for real, it was indeed a dog barking!
Xuan Miao's spirit perked up, and he struggled to raise his head to take a look. He couldn't help but widen his autumn eyes.
On the desert as the sun sets, a sleek and energetic black dog gallops.
This black dog looks like a dragon and a tiger, running towards the sunset with its back facing the setting sun, raising a line of flying sand.
He is obviously an ordinary dog, but he manages to look like a mythical beast.
What shocked her even more was that there was a little girl sitting on the back of the black dog. The little girl was dressed in pink and jade, and her laughter was as clear as a fairy bell. She was laughing and eating fruit at the same time.
"This, isn't this Jiang Yao's daughter Jiang Lingyun?" Xuan Miao recognized it immediately.
Xuan Miao felt relieved and immediately showed a look of surprise that he had escaped from death.
She was not surprised at all that Jiang Lingyun appeared here.
When she showed Jiang Yao a map at Dayao Market, she discovered that Jiang Lingyun was very interested in the map and looked eager to try it.
What is mysterious and strange is how Jiang Lingyun and her "horse" can still be so energetic and comfortable.
Judging from the way this man and the dog behaved, it didn't look like they were in a forbidden desert. Rather, it looked like they were traveling in the mountains and rivers.
"It's me! Here!"
Xuanmiao suddenly gained strength and quickly struggled to stand up, waving to Jiang Lingyun and Xiao Hei.
"who?!"
A person and a dog all looked over.
"Woof woof woof!" The dog guard barked indiscriminately at the stranger in ragged clothes.
The cry was loud and arrogant, with full warning and demonstration.
Jiang Lingyun patted Xiao Hei's head and looked at the female Taoist priest up and down with her big jewel-like eyes, full of vigilance.
"Who are you?"
"I am your father's senior sister! I am your Aunt Xuan, just call me Aunt!" Xuanmiao was holding a wooden sword, looking weak and ready to fall down at any moment.
However, she still showed a gentle and beautiful smile, teased her hair and said with a smile:
"You are Lingyun. I have heard your father talk about you and seen your images, so I know you."
"Your father, Jiang Yao, and I had a close friendship back then, haha. Well, you didn't exist at that time."
"Woof..." When Xiao Hei heard this, he immediately swallowed half of the "woof woof", drooped his ears, and began to wag his tail, and his arrogant momentum immediately softened.
"Aunt Xuan?" Jiang Lingyun couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "You really know me."
"However, I have never heard my father talk about having a mysterious aunt."
Jiang Lingyun is a brat and is not someone who is easily fooled.
"Pfft-" Xuanmiao couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of black blood, her face suddenly became even paler, and big beads of sweat rolled down her face.
She couldn't care so much anymore, she could only cover her chest, pointed to the water bag on Xiao Hei's body and said:
"Good niece, can you give Aunt Xuan a drink of water first? Aunt Xuan is almost dying of thirst."
The female Taoist priest's voice was a little sad.
Although Jiang Lingyun didn't quite believe her, seeing that she was so miserable and that she was so rarely beautiful, she didn't look like a bad person, so she decided to give her some water.
The little girl searched around on Xiao Hei's body, finally found the smallest water bag and threw it over.
"Give."
Xuanmiao took the water, pulled open the stopper, and without even looking at it, she just raised her neck and drank.
It was as if someone was trying to rob her.
"Ahem!"
Because she drank too quickly, she still choked.
After drinking this small bag of water, Xuan Miao is like a wilt that receives rain after a long drought. It has absorbed the full amount of rainwater and suddenly feels much more alive.
There is also more vitality.
"Lingyun, you saved Aunt Xuan's life today. When we go out, Aunt Xuan will definitely give you delicious food, something you have never eaten before."
After drinking the water, Xuan Miao felt much better and immediately started to make promises with a smile.
Jiang Lingyun's eyes lit up when she heard the good food she had never eaten before, "Really? Are you really my father's senior sister?"
Xuan Miao smiled sweetly and said, "Silly boy, of course it's true. Can my aunt still lie to you? Your mother's name is Yu Yan, and she is also an acquaintance of my aunt."
"You are a medicine elf, conceived with your father's blood. I even know such a confidential matter, how can you be an outsider?"
"Your father had a Karma Immortal in his previous life, right? He also got the Shen Nong Fortune Cauldron, right? Look, I know all these secrets, how could he be an outsider?"
"I went to the Western Region to find your father this time, and I was going to help him. Alas, it was a pity that I encountered the Void Sky Rat in the sky, and all my aunt's friends were eaten by the rats. Uh-huh..."
"In the end, my aunt was the only one left to escape, but ended up in this forbidden desert, where she almost died of thirst."
Jiang Lingyun nodded, "I see, well, Aunt Xuan is really pitiful."
After all, Xuan Miao didn't show any flaws, Jiang Lingyun almost believed that she was really her father's senior sister.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know so much.
However, Jiang Lingyun had long heard from her father that people's hearts are sinister and must be guarded against. Although she almost believed that the other party was an acquaintance of her father, she did not dare to completely believe it.
Well, always keep an eye out.
Although Xiao Hei drooped his ears and waggled his tail, he remained alert.
When it was still an ordinary dog, it had been tricked by foxes in the mountains more than once. Those foxes were very cunning, but easy to believe.
After being deceived several times, Xiao Hei swore that he would never again easily trust anyone other than his master and his little master.
Xuanmiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the little girl almost believed him.
She looked at the dry food bag on Xiao Hei's back, secretly swallowed a sip of saliva, flipped her hair, and said a little shyly:
"Good niece, Aunt Xuan is a little hungry, can you have something to eat?"
In a forbidden land with rules like the sky, monks will be just like ordinary people, they will be thirsty when they are thirsty, and hungry when they are hungry. If you don't eat or drink, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you will still starve to death.
Mystical cultivation is indeed not suppressed by the outside world, and can fully display the magical powers of real people without backlash.
But the forbidden land is different.
Since the dawn of time, there have been places of forbidden laws in the immortal world. And there are more than one places of forbidden laws, and the reasons for their occurrence are also different.
But no matter what the reason is, the place of forbidden law is the rule of heaven that restricts the magic power of all monks.
Unless your cultivation is as strong as the sky, strong enough to compete with the way of heaven.
Otherwise, it would no longer be a place of forbidden law.
This forbidden law desert was caused by too much poisoning, but it has long formed unique laws of heaven. The power of the forbidden law rules is no different from other forbidden law places.
Xuan Miao, let alone being injured or poisoned, even if she was fine, she would still be like a mortal when she came here, starving without eating.
"This..." Jiang Lingyun was a little embarrassed when she heard that Aunt Xuan wanted to eat.
"Aunt Xuan." Jiang Lingyun stared at her big black jewel-like eyes, "It's not like this junior is trying to refute your face. I don't have much dry food to eat."
She touched Xiao Hei's dog ears and said, "Aunt Xuan, this little bit of dry food is more than enough for me and Xiao Hei."
What?
Xuan Miao's expression suddenly became awkward when she heard this.
Give it to the dog, but not me?
Just like that, you still have the nerve to call yourself a junior and call me Xuan Gu?
Xuan Miao's stomach growled and was filled with sour water, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
It turns out that the feeling of hunger is so painful.
"Good niece." Xuanmiao smiled bitterly, "You brought a lot of dry food, more than a hundred kilograms, right? Can Aunt Xuan have some?"
"When we go out, Aunt Xuan will definitely give you a hundred times a thousand times more delicious food."
Jiang Lingyun sighed and shook her little head, "That's Aunt Xuan. I would definitely not give it to anyone else. Otherwise, Xiao Hei won't be able to run away without food."
Xiao Hei wagged his tail and licked Jiang Lingyun's hand, clearly meaning: "The princess is right, the dry food you want to eat is actually mine!"
However, Jiang Lingyun, Father Xiao, is a soft-hearted and kind-hearted person after all, and he cannot bear to have Aunt Xuan starve to death.
She glanced at it and selected a bag of dry food. After opening it, she fumbled around inside for a while, then took out a sweet potato and handed it to Xuanmiao hesitantly.
"Aunt Xuan, here it is."
That’s it? A spiritual potato?
Xuanmiao really wanted to say that she was stingy, but seeing the distressed look on this little girl's face and her hand ready to be withdrawn at any time, how could she dare to be picky?
He took a handful of Lingshu and said with a smile as he ate it: "Lingyun is so good. He is very much like your father. They are both good, righteous and enthusiastic people."
For the first time in his life, Xuan Miao felt that something like spiritual potato could be so delicious.
It's really delicious.
When Jiang Lingyun heard her say that she was very much like her father, she immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Xuan, no matter what, I won't let you starve to death or thirst."
"Uh, Aunt Xuan, the blood you vomited is black. This poison is very powerful."
In this forbidden land, even though the medicine elf's innate magical powers were gone, she still knew that Xuan Miao had been poisoned very badly.
Fortunately, Xuan Gu was poisoned, otherwise she would have been eaten by the monster long ago.
"Yes, Poison in the void almost died." Xuan Miao said.
The two of them and the dog talked while walking. It was just that Jiang Lingyun rode a "horse" comfortably, while Xuan Miao trudged hard.
After walking less than a hundred miles, Aunt Xuan finally couldn't help but pointed at Xiao Hei and said, "Good niece, can you let me ride a horse too? Auntie really can't walk anymore."
"Woof woof..." Xiao Hei's ears perked up, his breath suddenly became sharp, and he barked at Xuan Miao.
You let me carry you?
Do you know my status and status in Ming Dynasty?
Jiang Lingyun was happy. She patted Xiao Hei's dog head and said, "Aunt Xuan, it's not that I don't want to give you face. It's just that Xiao Hei is different."
"It's not an ordinary monster. It's my father's earliest servant. It's the fifth-rank royal dog guard. It will soon be promoted to the fourth rank."
"It is no exaggeration to say that it is actually an important minister of the Ming Dynasty. It is willing to carry me, not because I am the princess, but because of friendship."
"If you let it carry you, it will be very inconvenient and disrespectful to the minister..."
When Xuan Miao heard this, her almond-shaped eyes couldn't help but widen.
What did you say?
Just this dog, was it the earliest Cong of the Yuan Dynasty and an important minister of the Ming Dynasty?
Is the minister still decent?
Do you dare to tell the ministers of the Ming Dynasty? Do you dare to say this to the ministers of the Ming Dynasty? See if they admit that a dog is on the same level as them and still treat them as ministers?
Do you know what a minister is?
But Xuanmiao also knew that this was just an excuse for the little girl to refuse.
"I see, it's because my aunt was being abrupt." Xuan Miao said with a strong smile, and cupped her hands to Xiao Hei, "Guard Guard, I'm really offended by what you just said."
Xiao Hei nodded slightly, his expression solemn and majestic.
Since the little master said that he was the earliest Yuan Cong and an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, then he must have a minimum attitude.
Therefore, Master Xuanmiao could only continue on the road with great pain.
Their direction is always the same: Oasis!
The little princess is looking for treasures and preparing Jiang Yao's sixtieth birthday gift.
Xuanmiao wanted to go there to recuperate and recuperate. Only by going to the oasis would she survive.
Then...hum!
She wants this little girl to know the importance of respecting her seniors. As for this unreasonably arrogant dog, it will take a few whips to relieve her anger!
Seeing Jiang Lingyun and Xiao Hei moving forward in a relaxed and happy way, while he was following behind in misery, stumbling along, Master Xuanmiao became more and more aware of the harshness of the world.
However, seeing Xiao Hei's arrogant, domineering and inaccessible aura, she also felt a sense of security.
At least with this unreasonably arrogant dog around, the journey will be much safer.
Well, then I will give you two less whips and a lighter one.
When Jiang Lingyun and Xuan Miao met, Jiang Yao, who was thousands of miles away, was coming to a huge mausoleum complex.
This mausoleum complex stands tall on the plains. Even in the desert, it looks majestic and has not been completely obscured by the sea of sand.
Jiang Yao sensed that the temperature here was seven to eight hundred degrees, and the sand seemed to be burning.
But he could bear it completely and no longer felt any pain. He just had no magic power or spiritual consciousness.
"How did you get here?"
Jiang Yao was suddenly in a daze.
He was very familiar with this huge mausoleum.
He walked forward and found a stone tablet exposed in the sand. Sure enough, he saw two ancient characters: "Gaoling."
Whose tomb is Gaoling?
It is the mausoleum of Li Luoshu, Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty!
"Hahaha!" Jiang Yao couldn't help but laugh facing the flaming sand dunes.
"Junior brother, I am in front of the tomb of your previous life. I am very embarrassed..."
