Chapter 219 The skin is the cage, the flesh is the candle, and the soul is the flame
…
"You bitch, look at me...!"
"Certainly!"
A loud shout interrupted Shan Xingfang's words. The sound was loud, but it was mixed with a tyrannical force that shook his soul.
The next moment, a black three-pronged steel fork struck from the darkness with lightning.
The lantern hanging high in the sky and embroidered with mountain patterns was wiped out.
at the same time.
An ax struck down with lightning, and the lantern embroidered with the word "wind" was extinguished.
Along with it came a red stream of light.
But Shan Xingfang was extraordinary after all. He reacted instantly, activated the lantern and swerved away, narrowly avoiding the crimson stream of light.
Even so, two of the three lanterns were lost, and the strength was greatly reduced.
'call'!
Violent flames surged out from the only red light.
After leaving behind a sea of fire, the red light suddenly flew into the distance as fast as lightning.
"You bitch, I will come back..."
The words have not yet been spoken.
A tall figure soared into the sky like an ape, spanning dozens of feet in the blink of an eye, chasing behind the red light.
A wave of the palm.
Several giant golden palms like water tanks were suddenly photographed.
The lantern blocked the initial golden palm, but was overwhelmed by the latecomers.
After all the red lights were wiped out, the ape-like figure returned.
The concubine looked wary.
"I am a disciple of the thirty-seventh generation of Maoshan, my concubine. I studied under the Qizhen 'Qingmiao Fairy' of Maoshan. I don't know which Taoist friend helped me."
Da da da…!
Following the footsteps, a young man wearing a green robe, Dorman shoes, with several magic bags and spiritual cages hanging on a golden rope around his waist, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking energetic, strode out.
On his left shoulder sat a one-foot-tall miniature girl with two wings on her back.
Behind him on the left is a black-robed protector with a helmet and armor, three steel forks held upside down, and a strong aura.
The concubine was secretly shocked.
Although the aura of the black-robed protector was not released, looking at the power of the fork that wiped out the red light just now, the power was so powerful that it was shocking to the world.
Although the pocket girl is small in stature, her aura is indeed in the late stage of foundation building.
Only the vigorous young man in the middle made her unable to see through.
Judging from the breath alone, he was only in the middle stage of foundation building, but looking at the two guardians beside him, he knew that the other party was not simple.
"Xu Zhengyang, a Sanye Sanye, met my concubine Taoist friend."
"Xu Zhengyang? Are you the 'Iron Palm Immortal' Xu Zhengyang?"
The concubine's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.
Xu Rui twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "It's okay if Iron Palm Immortal doesn't scream."
Seeing that he didn't like it, the concubine didn't yell anymore.
He quickly came over with his disciples.
"I have often heard Senior Brother Yimei and Senior Brother Four Eyes talking about fellow Taoist, saying that fellow Taoist has excellent talents and amazing strength, and ranks at the forefront among the younger generation in the current spiritual world. I used to think that the two senior brothers exaggerated, but when I met today, fellow Taoist
It really lives up to its name.”
"The two fellow Taoists gave a wonderful compliment."
After the concubine and her disciples thanked Xu Rui for his help.
"Why is Fellow Daoist Xu here?"
"I passed by by chance and felt the strong fluctuations in spiritual energy, so I came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, by chance, I helped my concubine Taoist friend."
Xu Rui is not greedy for merit.
Do things in a high profile and behave in a low profile. This is a principle he has figured out after three years in the workplace.
"You are so polite, fellow Taoist, but if you hadn't taken action in time, my master and my disciple would have hated each other today."
Although the concubine looks carefree on the outside, she is actually a very capable person on the inside.
Xu Rui smiled faintly and changed the topic.
"Who was that person just now? He actually had a back-and-forth fight with fellow Taoist?"
"Do you know about the Red Lantern Club?"
Xu Rui nodded. He knew this very well. After all, he had just killed Si Yunfei, the gold medal envoy of the Red Lantern Society, the Yin Demon Taoist.
"The enchantress just now is Shan Xingfang, the 'Red Evil' in the Red Lantern Club's gold medalist 'Red and White Two Evils'. This woman has a natural beauty, but she is also a yin and yang. She is deeply loved by the Red Lantern Master, and she is the only one in the Red Lantern Club."
Those who can teach the red light magic are extraordinary in strength."
"I see."
This was the second time he met the gold medal messenger of the Red Lantern Society.
However, in terms of strength, the 'Red Evil' Shan Xingfang was far inferior to the 'Yin Demon Taoist' Si Yunfei who was beheaded by him.
"Do fellow Taoists understand this red light magic? It's really weird that it can activate Taoism." Xu Rui said.
The concubine nodded, "I, Maoshan, have been fighting with the red lantern society for many years, and I do have a certain understanding of the red lantern magic."
After organizing his words, he continued.
"According to the records in the door, this red lantern magic uses 'skin as a cage, flesh and blood as a candle, and soul as a flame'. Every red lantern is a living human and demon life."
"The weird thing is that every human and demon who is turned into a lantern can retain their cultivation and magic. So just now, fellow Taoist Daoist saw that each of Shan Xingfang's red lanterns has different abilities. They can even
Cooperate with each other to exert greater power."
After a pause, the concubine glanced at Xu Rui.
"In addition, each red lantern can entrust the owner's spiritual consciousness, so when casting the red lantern spell, they will cast it from a distance. Even if all the red lanterns are extinguished, they can still save their lives."
Xu Rui frowned.
"So, what Fellow Taoist means is that the 'Red Evil' Shan Xingfang is still alive at this moment."
The concubine nodded.
"Eight years ago in Yunyang Mountain, I happened to meet this demon girl practicing demon magic, so I started to attack her. At that time, she could only practice two red light magic bodies, and I killed them all. At the beginning, I also thought
She died, but I didn’t expect that just three years later, there was news that she had done evil again.”
"Only after I returned to the sect and read the classics did I understand the strangeness of the red lantern magic."
Xu Rui nodded, feeling enlightened.
The Red Lantern Masters were able to survive the sieges of Maoshan, Longhu Mountain, and Nanhua Temple, mostly because of the mystery of the Red Lantern Technique.
Turn around and walk to a lantern that was wiped out by a copper corpse.
The flame of the lamp has been extinguished, the red candle has broken, and the lantern made of human skin has been torn apart.
But the smell of corpses was very strong.
Just as my concubine said, it was indeed trained with human bodies and demon corpses.
Activate the golden finger to refining.
Got two marrow cleansing points.
His eyes lit up.
"Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment while I take care of these lanterns to avoid causing any trouble."
The concubine nodded.
Xu Rui quickly stepped forward and refined the remaining two broken lanterns.
The lantern that can emit flames and use earth magic gives him four marrow cleansing points each.
That adds up to ten points.
"Including what I accumulated before, there are fifty-six marrow cleansing points."
My heart is excited.
Now his qualification is 82%.
It only takes eighteen points to break through.
If added, even after the qualification is broken through, the ten marrow cleansing points will be compressed into one.
He also has four marrow cleansing points left for emergencies, and is very close to his goal of seven marrow cleansing points, which is the minimum.
And after improving his cultivation, he obviously found that his efficiency in collecting marrow cleansing points was much higher than before.
It is not too difficult to achieve the goal.
But at times like this, you need to be more cautious.
Too many people have lost their lives because of their arrogance at critical moments, and he doesn't want to be the next one.
Looking at Xu Rui who turned around, the concubine looked at her with some suspicion.
The other party's method of refining the lantern was beyond her expectation. If the other party was not a close friend of several of her senior brothers, she would definitely suspect that the other party was an evil cultivator.
When Xu Rui packed up and was about to say goodbye, the sound of clothes flying in the distance was heard.
My heart moved and I turned around to look.
But when I saw Uncle Jiu running over with a magic sword on his back, he looked anxious.
Seeing him, Xu Rui realized that the emotional concubine had already called for foreign aid.
"Senior brother."
The concubine shouted excitedly, and the apprentice ignored her and ran towards Lin Fengying.
Seeing that she was fine, Uncle Jiu also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the concubine was extremely moved by his act of coming to save her, and regardless of the presence of outsiders, she excitedly rushed forward.
Seeing Xu Rui's figure, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but feel ashamed. He couldn't hold her in his arms or not, it was embarrassing.
It wasn't until the concubine calmed down a little and let go of his neck that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle."
Wu Yi quickly stepped forward to greet him.
After nodding with a smile, his eyes turned to Xu Rui.
"Brother Dao, we meet again." Xu Rui said with a smile.
"Why are fellow Taoists here?"
"I was passing by by chance and happened to encounter a demon from the Red Lantern Club fighting with my concubine Taoist friend, so I stepped forward to help her, but unfortunately she was allowed to escape in the end."
The concubine held Uncle Jiu's left arm and said in a coquettish tone.
"Brother, if fellow Taoist Xu hadn't happened to be passing by tonight, you wouldn't have seen him."
The concubine who had just been so hot and furious and fought so hard instantly turned into a fragile woman who couldn't even unscrew the bottle cap in front of Uncle Jiu.
That coquettish tone made Xu Rui's body goosebumps, and she said helplessly in her heart: "The brain circuitry of a woman in love seems to be abnormal."
In front of everyone, Uncle Jiu was a little embarrassed and wanted to take his arm out, but Auntie's hug was too tight and he didn't twitch a few times, so he let her go.
After arranging his expression, he cupped his fists and saluted.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help."
"Brother Dao, you're welcome. You and I are close friends. My wife is in trouble. How can I not help?" Xu Rui said with a smile.
"Ahem...!"
Uncle Jiu coughed twice to cover up.
He quickly changed the topic.
"Who is this…?"
The powerful aura on the bronze corpse was like a large lantern, and he couldn't help but pay attention to it.
"My newly conquered slave is called 'Bronze Corpse'."
Uncle Jiu's heart moved.
He knew Xu Rui's purpose of leaving Yizhuang, and it was closer to the zombie forest.
"It was only cleaned up by Senior Brother Shi three years ago. How could there be such a powerful zombie? Could it be that it didn't come from the zombie forest?"
He didn't ask much about the other party's secrets.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, my uncle will be arriving in three days. Why don't you follow me back to Yizhuang first?"
Xu Rui nodded.
The zombies in Tengteng Town can't run away, so it doesn't matter if you go later.
After a group of people returned to the dojo, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, with a thin face and three strands of long beard on his chin, and a hawk-like gaze, hurried to the heart of the Zombie Forest Mountain.
Looking at the three caves in a mess.
Angry roars shook the entire mountain.
"Damn it, don't let me know who you are? Otherwise I, Shi Jian, will tear you into pieces and vent the hatred in my heart."
Rumble!
Accompanied by thunder and lightning, the sound of splashing earth and rocks was heard, which lasted for a long time.
