Witnessing the death of Master Xuanqi after resigning from office, and the succession of Master Tianyin as the third generation head of Tianxuan Sect, after that, Xiaozhu, Gui Haiming, Bi Fei and Lu Ling set out again to find the "Four Life Weapons"
journey. Among them, the Yan Luo Claw is held by the "Nine Glory" Xuan Yi, the Water Xuan Scale is held by the "Soul Evil" Emperor Slave, the Thunder Eye is held by the "Void Shadow", and the Feng Ling Jiao is held by
Gui Haiming, who had been the "burning sacrifice" of Venerable Yinglong, was buried in Duanyun Mountain and in Xiao Xingzhi's tomb.
The first stop for everyone was Duanyun Mountain. Although they did not want to disturb the sleep of their old friend or open the coffin to retrieve the things, under this situation, it was a helpless move. Considering that Yan Ruoshi was about to give birth, it was
When they needed to rest in peace, after everyone discussed it, they decided not to explain it to Yan Ruoshi for the time being, and secretly took out the Fengling Jiao from the tomb.
"Master Xiao, I'm really sorry," Xiaozhu clasped his hands and thought silently in front of the tombstone, "I probably won't be able to come back and say thank you, but I will definitely ask Brother Xiaoshe to return Fengling Jiao to you.
"
Not only her, but everyone bowed in front of Xiao Xingzhi's grave, but their moods were different: Gui Haiming was silent, Bi Fei sighed with melancholy, and Lu Ling had regrets on his face. However, the situation was urgent, and they had nothing more to say.
At the sad moment, Gui Haiming transformed into the original form of the singing snake. He stretched out his silver wings, picked up the three friends, and rushed into the bright sky.
We are in the vast void, with the wind blowing on our face and clouds blowing around our body. Ming Snake's jade-like eyes are moving slightly, apparently asking for the direction of the next stop. Xiaozhu pondered for a moment, but has not yet answered, and Lu Ling over there
But he said without hesitation: "Of course I will go to the desert of the Western Region to find the Desolate Dust Blade. Why should I hesitate? Didn't Master Xuanqi say that that thing is the first choice of Venerable Yinglong."
"Junior Sister Lu, sometimes the first choice may not be the best choice," Bi Fei reminded softly, "It is true that the Wild Dust Blade is the most effective magic weapon that consumes energy and swallows souls. Let's go straight to the Western Region. Nine out of ten
I can fight against a Venerable. But the Kui Gu Flute is currently in the towns along the Weishui River. If Venerable Yinglong comes to kill people and seize the flute, I'm afraid more people will suffer."
When his shortcomings were pointed out, Lu Ling not only did not feel displeased at all, but instead smiled happily, looking at Bi Fei with bright eyes, and said happily: "Senior brother is still thinking carefully, so let's do this."
Her bright eyes showed pure and naked admiration. Seeing her expression, Bifei was startled for a moment, then turned away in embarrassment.
The snake spread its wings and traveled thousands of miles in a day. When the group arrived at Tongli City, which is located in the upper reaches of the Weishui River, it was almost dusk. The snake landed in a deserted suburban field. He folded his wings and bowed his head slightly, put down Xiaozhu and the others, and then
The snake's body was filled with silver light, but in the blink of an eye, it transformed into that handsome and upright figure:
"The aura of the Emperor's slave is in the city." Gui Haiming said in a deep voice.
Leaving the Wasteland Blade in the desert of the Western Region and searching for the Kui Gu Flute via the Wei River, this bet turned out to be the right one.
Tongli City is backed by the Qinling Mountains and the Wei River passes through the city. Because it is deep in the interior of China, the city was not affected by the Yinglong Disaster. It is for this reason that many refugees from the southeast coast fled all the way.
Gradually they gathered and settled here, making the city's population more and more numerous.
The streets in the city are bustling, with teahouses and restaurants lined up in rows. Although it is evening, people are coming and going, and it is still very lively. The bustling market at the front is even more crowded, with gongs and drums noisy, and there are waves of cheers:
"Okay! One more!"
Passing through the crowd of onlookers on the inner and outer three floors, you can see a simple stage built with benches and wooden boards. On the stage is a juggling troupe, and the jugglers are performing hard——
With a tiger roar, a big, colorful tiger with yellow fur and black stripes, and the word "king" on its head, walked slowly and leisurely to the stage. Seeing this scene, the audience in the front row exclaimed, "Oh, my mom!"
I couldn't help but take a few steps back. As everyone looked at me with fear and curiosity, a little girl about fourteen or fifteen years old walked onto the stage lightly.
She was dressed in short clothes, neat and easy to move around. She wore a light green short shirt and white silk trousers, and her whole figure was like a tender green onion. She was still in her prime years, and there was still a trace of childishness on her face that had not faded away, but that was it.
A young girl walked up to the tiger without fear and said bluntly: "Open your mouth."
The tiger really opened its big mouth, and the little girl put her arm into the tiger's mouth without hesitation, causing the audience to exclaim. The next moment, the tiger's big mouth closed, and the girl's mouth was directly inserted into the tiger's mouth.
The arm was swallowed into the mouth, and the audience immediately panicked. Some shouted "Killing people!"
I'm afraid, Dahuang is teasing you."
After saying that, the girl patted the tiger on the forehead with her left hand. The big guy opened his mouth lazily, rolled his tongue, and spit out the girl's arm. There was no miserable scene of blood flowing into the river, but the girl's arm was intact.
Even though he was still attached to his body, the tiger seemed reluctant to part with it and licked the opponent's palm with his tongue.
"Hehe, don't make trouble." The girl replied with a smile, then raised her left index finger and gave the tiger a "hair chestnut" on the forehead. The tiger roared "Ouch", and the roar was not at all domineering, but more like a complaint.
Seeing this man and a tiger, the audience was stunned, and it took a long time to recover. At this time, the girl picked up the torch, lit a hollow iron ring, and guided the tiger through the blazing flames. And the tiger was
She was really well-behaved. The girl let her go east and then west, and she was smart and obedient. She jumped back and forth several times in a short time. This time, thunderous applause sounded, and the audience simply had no control.
They all became famous and marveled at this young girl who tamed the beast.
"Thank you, folks," the girl stood in the middle of the stage, bowed to everyone and thanked everyone, then patted the tiger on the back and said with a smile, "Dahuang, you can also thank everyone."
As if he understood what she said, the tiger raised his neck and let out a majestic and domineering roar that filled the sky, as if he was really greeting the audience. This made the onlookers particularly excited, and for a while, cheers came and went.
While everyone was thundering with applause, a little monkey wearing a flower hat, holding a small copper basin in both hands and dangling its legs, walked towards the audience like a human. Look at its funny movements.
Everyone also understood and took out the copper plates and threw them into the copper basin. The sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding" could not be heard.
The juggling on the stage was still going on, and as soon as the girl came off, a tall and strong man came up. He was eight feet tall, with a strong back and a strong waist. His muscles were exposed in his half-open clothes, and he faced everyone.
The station was like a hill. He took out a spear, propped its tail end on the ground, and pointed the tip of the spear at his own throat.
"Drink!" the strong man roared, throwing away his hands, and at the same time thrust his neck forward, so that the tip of the spear was pressed against his throat.
The audience gasped, fearing that the sharp blade would pierce the strong man's neck. But the strong man was not afraid, and instead lowered his body lower and lower. The spear was gradually bent under the force.
It formed an arc, then pressed harder and harder, and finally broke into two pieces with a "snap" sound. And the strong man straightened up as if nothing had happened, and flashed his neck to everyone, not to mention poking a wound.
, not even a layer of oily skin was broken.
"Real invulnerability!", "Okay! One more!" - the audience burst into excited shouts and applause.
Immediately afterwards, the strong man performed two more items, one was throwing throwing knives while blindfolded, and the other was breaking large rocks on the chest, both of which made the audience applaud. After he left the stage, a pale young man came up, wearing a
Wearing a dark cloak, which covered his figure. He walked to the center of the stage without saying a word, stretched out his hands hidden under the cloak, and threw three shiny iron balls into the air without interruption.
Then he threw it up again, the speed was so fast that the iron ball was connected with a dazzling brilliance.
Although his movements were skillful, compared to the girl with the tiger and the invulnerable man, this performance was not dangerous and seemed much duller. The audience's cheers suddenly weakened, and even clapping and applause were omitted.
Just when everyone was losing interest, the young man suddenly untied the cloak behind his back, stretched his hands into the air, and threw three shining daggers up.
Three daggers and three iron balls flew in the air one after another. The young man could accurately grasp the handle of the dagger every time without getting a bloody cut by the blade. But this was not what surprised the audience the most.
What shocked them was the young man's hands - four hands!
That's right, four hands. Two of them are no different from ordinary people, but the other two are on the back. From the shoulder blades behind his back, two arms stretch out. The upper arms, lower arms, wrists, palms and five fingers are all available, and they are all complete.
His normal two are exactly the same.
"Weird, monster!" panicked voices came from the crowd, and words like "deformity" and "freak" popped up from time to time. The woman with the child hurriedly covered the child's eyes with her hands, as if
I'm afraid that if they take one more look, they will be like the young man on the stage who has grown four hands.
"Get down! Who wants to see a freak!" With the woman's angry voice, a gray-black object was thrown fiercely at the young man. It was a tattered straw sandal, and it hit his left shoulder. Suddenly
, his hands trembled, and he could no longer catch the dagger and iron ball thrown high. Seeing the sharp blade falling sharply, it was about to hit his head. The young man hurriedly stepped back, staggered and fell.
on the stage.
Hearing several "clang" sounds, the dagger almost grazed his cheek and pierced into the wooden board beside him. The young man was in shock, and before he had time to get up, he heard a burst of laughter from the audience:
"Haha, look at how stupid he is, he fell on his back."
"Hey, you made a miscalculation. It's obviously 'six feet in the air'."
As the onlookers said, the young man was lying on his back with his legs and hands raised upwards, just like a tortoise with its shell on the ground. His movements were absurd and funny. Amid the laughter of the crowd, he hurriedly moved
He got up, bowed to everyone, and then walked down the stage in a panic. But halfway through, he seemed to remember something, and turned back and picked up the black cloak, tied it around his shoulders to cover his back.
hands, and then hurriedly got off the stage.
This performance ended in a hurry amidst everyone's laughter. Although many people were afraid and disgusted with this deformed monster, many people found it curious and interesting, especially the falling scene.
Ridiculously stupid, amidst their lingering laughter, the next person to appear was a wizened old man. He was hunched over and his face was skinny. He held a pot of ordinary camellias in his right hand and held a handful of tea leaves in his left hand.
He is wearing a beige bone flute.
The old man walked to the center of the stage, put down the pot of camellia, put his hands on the bone flute, and played a low and whimpering tone.
In an instant, the camellia seemed to move at the sound, and suddenly trembled. As the flute continued, the originally blooming flowers gradually withered. First, the red petals lost their color and curled up withered edges, and then the whole flower curled up and turned brown.
The yellow and withered petals slowly fell off. The flowers were no longer in bloom. As the flute played, the green leaves also withered and fell. When the song ended, not a single bit of green was left in a pot of good flowers, only
The pole is bare.
This turn of events made the audience marvel in admiration, and there was another burst of thunderous applause. This seemed to be the finale of the vaudeville troupe, and the little monkey swayed forward with the copper basin again, asking for money from the guests.
Come to the money market. The people who are feasting their eyes are not stingy. Copper coins are thrown in, and they make a tinkling sound like falling rain.
The stage was bustling with activity and business was booming. The old man and the vaudeville actors, except for the pale four-handed freak, were all smiling. At this moment, the four people watching from a distance
, but showed a solemn expression.
"The Flute of Kui Bone has the ability to consume energy and swallow spirits, so it is easy to make flowers wither." Bi Fei explained the old man's trick in one sentence, "But this magic is not something that ordinary people can control. The Flute of Kui Bone is also devouring flowers."
The old man is angry, and looking at his withered face, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long."
Lu Ling suddenly realized: "No wonder the old man is as thin as a mummy. It turns out that his cleverness was mistaken for him. This is easy to handle. They are open for business. Let's just pay a price and buy the flute."
After hearing her method, Xiaozhu couldn't help but chuckle: "Sister Lu, this method of yours is quite domineering, but having said that, can the two of us scrape together ten copper coins?"
"Uh..." Lu Lingdeng concluded immediately: She traveled around the world and was ordered to slay demons. She was not out to do business. How could she have so much money with her? B Fei was already an abandoned disciple of Chiyun, so he must be penniless.
Wen. As for Xiaozhu and Gui Haiming, they can go to heaven and earth, ride on the wind and travel thousands of miles, and their martial arts skills are even more difficult to rival. What do they want money for?
Seeing that she was speechless, Bi Fei slowly came to the rescue: "Junior Sister Lu's method makes some sense, but the reason why we are looking for the Flute of Kui Bone this time is not to possess this magic weapon, but to use it as bait to lure out Master Yinglong.
.From this point of view, it does not matter whose hand the bone flute is in. The original intention is to prevent Venerable Yinglong from seizing the flute and seize the life weapon held by the Venerable."
"Yes, Senior Brother Bi is right. It's because I was short-sighted and just judged the matter as it happened." Lu Ling praised. She was straightforward and would never evade sophistry when she did something wrong or said the wrong thing. She openly admitted her mistakes.
Xiaozhu turned to look at Gui Haiming and asked softly: "Brother Xiaoshe, you said before that you felt the demonic aura of the emperor's slave, and the 'soul evil' is in the city. And this juggling troupe has caused such a big fuss, he should see it
That's right, why not just seize the Flute of Kui Gu instead of standing still?"
Gui Haiming's eyes dimmed and he said coldly: "Among the four Yinglong masters in the past, Emperor Slave 'Hunsha' was an anomaly. He acted cunningly and was extremely playful. Whenever he saw others being happy, he would try to find ways to interfere with them.
He often changes his appearance and plays tricks on every occasion, until he destroys the other person's family and destroys them, and he enjoys it."
These words made everyone startled, and they couldn't help but recall the scene in Tianshui Town that day. The "Soul Evil" Emperor Slave pretended to be Master Huiwen, tricked Mu Zi into handing over the corpse of Ju Chen, and then lured Ju Chen to swallow human blood.
Human flesh, completely turning him into a demon. Facing the remorseful and self-reproaching Mu Zizhen, Emperor Nu laughed wildly, praised his extraordinary acting skills, and then set up a life and death situation, forcefully forcing Mu Zizhen to kill him in the dust. He
This is evident from the insidiousness and viciousness.
"Bah," Lu Ling said angrily, "This Soul Evil Emperor slave is simply despicable and shameless, and he is totally unkind!"
"That's right. The more conflicted and struggling others are, the happier the Emperor's slave will be. Now that he is hiding in the juggling troupe, he must have found some fun, so he put off killing people and seizing flutes and started acting again."
Gui Haiming's answer surprised Xiaozhu: "Brother Xiaoshe, are you saying that Emperor Nu has now become a member of the juggling team and is thinking of ways to cause mischief? Then can you check out his demon?
Angry, can you tell who he has become?"
Gui Haiming shook his head and said: "Everyone on the stage has been infected by the emperor's slave's demonic energy. Even I can't judge."
So, the little girl who tamed the tiger, the invulnerable man, the freak with deformed hands, and the shriveled old man playing the flute were all suspects. And they couldn't rush forward and catch these people.
Pressing for questioning. Firstly, this would be a warning. If the Emperor's slave takes advantage of the chaos and escapes, he will lose the clue. Secondly, these other three people are ordinary mortals. They want to subdue the Emperor's slave, but they must protect mortals and cannot make any mistakes.
.
Thinking of this, Bi Fei said in a deep voice: "In this case, we will also use our tricks and act when the occasion arises. I will join the troupe and look for clues. The emperor's slave has never seen me, and he doesn't know that we have already followed the clues of Kui Gu's Flute.
I have locked him, so I shouldn’t have taken any precautions. Once I find out who the emperor slave is pretending to be, I will lead him out. By then, Junior Sister Lu, Miss Yue, and Brother Guihai will besiege him again and they will be able to subdue him."
"I will go too, and the Emperor's slave has never seen me," Lu Ling said decisively, "Besides, although this plan is good, if there is any danger, I won't worry if Senior Brother Bi is the only one."
"Don't worry", speaking of this, even Bi Fei could not find any excuse to stop Lu Ling's proposal. Gui Haiming and Dinu were both Venerable Yinglong, so naturally they were old acquaintances, Xiaozhu
They also met Emperor Nu during the battle at Tianxuan Gate, so it was inconvenient for them to go there. The two had to hide their whereabouts, follow carefully, and secretly protect their friends.
