Chapter 225 Hanging paintings to ward off evil spirits
Fire clouds were born under Long Qilin's feet, soared into the sky, and rushed out of the valley. Qingyu Sanren sat up, raised his hand and clapped his hands forward. Suddenly thunder surged, and countless thunder and lightning entwined like a green dragon, and struck at Long Qilin.
.
Qingyu Sanren suddenly vomited blood, his palms trembled, and the thunderbolt from his palm missed, blasting a gap in the hilltop in front of Long Qilin.
Qin Mu was startled. Although these beings in the realm of gods and humans were injured, their magical power was still astonishing. If they were hit, they would definitely die miserably.
Lu Wenwen, Pushan Arhat and others stood up staggeringly. They couldn't help vomiting blood, and couldn't help but feel lingering fear. They still despised the Great Bear Demon God summoned by Qin Mu, and were severely injured by the Great Bear Demon God. If
If Taoist Kuye had interrupted Qin Mu's summons once, the summoned Demon God Xiong would have been stronger. Even if they were tied together, they wouldn't be enough to kill this Demon God!
"Do you still want to catch up?" Lu Wenwen asked in a low voice.
At this time, Taoist Dry Leaf sat cross-legged, his breath was withered, and he said with a sad smile: "Old Taoist can no longer accompany you fellow Taoists to defeat demons and defend the Tao. My life was interrupted by that demon god, and this stinky skin is of no use..."
Everyone felt pity in their hearts.
The dead leaf Taoist chanted softly: "Life is like a dead leaf, and it will eventually fall into the underworld. Fellow Taoists, you must kill the leader of the demon leader. I want to see him on the road to the underworld. I will go first..."
Having said that, he passed away suddenly.
Lu Wenwen cried loudly and bowed: "Brother Taoist, go slowly! We will definitely send this devil to see you!"
Pushan Arhat sighed sadly, put his hands together in greeting, and solemnly said: "This life is just a stinky skin bag. I will give up my skin bag to see the Tathagata. Brother Tao, it's good to go."
"Good to go!" Qingyu Sanren said in tears.
Luo San said: "That dragon Qilin is moving very fast. We must catch up as soon as possible, otherwise it will be terrible if he calls out the second demon god!"
Lu Wenwen was murderous: "He doesn't have this chance! There are stronger beings than us on the road ahead, waiting for him to throw himself into the trap!"
Even so, everyone still suppressed their injuries, took the healing elixir, and rushed in the direction where Qin Mu left.
Qin Mu took out a bone altar on the back of Long Qilin and tried to summon the second demon god. However, Long Qilin was bumpy when running, and it was easy for the talisman to be unable to compare with the runes on the demon statue, and one of the runes was wrong.
Then he will fall short and have no choice but to give up.
Qin Mu checked and found that he had no injuries at all, and Hu Ling'er was not injured either. Dragon Qilin had thick skin and thick flesh, and was protected by dragon scales, so it was not injured. Only Demon King Dutian was slightly deformed from the beating.
Qin Mu used the Suzaku energy to burn his body red, and then corrected the deformed limbs. Demon King Dutian was so ashamed and angry that he remained silent. This time, he was despised by Demon God Xiong and trampled him under his feet. This was a great shame and humiliation.
Qin Mu distinguished the geography, took out the geographical map of Yankang and compared it with the surrounding mountains and rivers. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We are very close to Daxu. With Long Qilin's foot power, we estimate that we will reach Daxu in half a day."
In the border area, it is impossible to just walk through the dense water pass."
They were pursued all the way, and their route had already deviated from Mi Shui Pass and was far away from Yanbian Pass.
"The only solution now is to take the passage I left behind when I was teaching smuggling."
Qin Mu thought for a moment and realized that there was a Shenduan Mountain Range between Daxu and Yankang. There were Xuanji crossbows on the tops of the Shenduan Mountains. Anyone who crossed the border would be shot by Xuanji crossbows.
The Xuanji Crossbow operates automatically and is said to be built according to the will passed down from the gods. Anyone who passes through the Shenduan Mountains, whether walking through the mountains or flying over the mountains, will be shot.
The Heavenly Demon Sect once engaged in smuggling. There is a passage in the Shenduan Mountains that passes through the Kuji Ridge Canyon and can travel between Daxu and Yankang. The two Xuanji crossbows there have been destroyed by the Heavenly Demon Sect, but the innkeeper of Xianglong City said
, that road has been abandoned for many years.
The Kuji Ridge Canyon is the only way for him to enter the Great Ruins.
"The pursuers probably don't know about this passage."
Qin Mu cheered up and suddenly laughed and said: "It's so difficult to go home to celebrate the New Year. It's almost like being killed by thousands of troops!"
He followed the people in the village to learn their martial arts and inherited their optimism. Although he encountered numerous ambushes along the way, he still maintained an optimistic attitude. Infected by his emotions, Long Qilin and Hu Ling'er also
Relaxed a lot.
The sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding area became increasingly desolate. After walking for a long time, I couldn't see a single village.
"Walking into the ruins at night is definitely a way to seek death. You must wait until daytime."
They were getting closer and closer to the Great Ruins, and they could already see the black shadow of the towering Shenduan Mountains, blocking the front like a high wall across the sky and the earth.
Not to mention that this Shenduan Mountain Range, which stretches for countless thousands of miles, is filled with Xuanji Crossbows. Even without Xuanji Crossbows, it would be extremely difficult to fly over it.
Qin Mu was thinking about finding a place to stay when he suddenly saw lights coming from below. It was a village. As night fell, oil lamps were lit in the village.
"Sir, be careful of fraud." Hu Ling'er said nervously.
Demon King Dutian sneered: "You can't see a village for thousands of miles, but one just pops up here. It's natural that it's a scam."
Qin Mu said: "Fat Long, keep walking and don't pay attention."
Long Qilin stepped on the fire cloud and continued walking towards the Shenduan Mountains. After walking for dozens of miles, he saw bright lights coming from below. There was a border village with dim lights and more than a dozen houses.
The layout of the house and the position of the light emitted by the oil lamp are almost exactly the same as the small village just now!
"Keep walking." Qin Mu's pupils narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice.
Long Qilin continued to move forward, and after walking dozens of miles, he saw the village again. The houses, lights, and all the layout were exactly the same as the previous two villages, without any changes!
Long Qilin also sensed that something was not good, so he ran as fast as he could, running forward for hundreds of miles. He encountered more than a dozen such villages on the road, and everything was exactly the same!
The Shenduan Mountain Range in front of them seemed to still be so far away. After running for hundreds of miles, they should have arrived at the foot of the mountain long ago, but the distance between them and this mountain range never seemed to change!
"This person's ability is extraordinary. He has collapsed space."
Demon King Dutian was completely devastated, shook his head and said, "You bastard, you can't escape."
"Let's enter the village!" Qin Mu said fiercely.
Long Qilin and Hu Ling'er were startled. Qin Mu became angry and lowered his voice: "I will kill anyone who dares to stop me from going home for the New Year! Enter the village!"
Long Qilin landed, shrunk in size, and returned to normal. Qin Mu jumped off Long Qilin's back, while Hu Ling'er coiled around his neck, like a scarf made of fox fur. Dutian Demon King followed behind him,
Four faces looked around, looking here and there warily.
Qin Mu walked towards the entrance of the village and saw that the village was very ordinary. There was a flagpole at the entrance of the village, and there was a horse-mounting post under the flagpole. The village was very quiet, but a dog was barking at them, grinning fiercely.
The fox on Qin Mu's neck quietly opened its eyes, startling the dog. The firewood door opened, and an old man walked out from behind the firewood door holding an oil lamp. The dog quickly came behind the old man, becoming bolder again.
Continue to bark at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu looked gentle and said politely: "I am passing by Guibao Land. The sky is dark and there is no place to stay around. I am sorry to see you meet the elder. Can the elder be accommodating and give me a place to rest?"
"Master Tianmo, you're welcome."
The old man's eyes were long and narrow, his white eyebrows were drooped, and he said: "The village is very small, and most of the guest rooms are still empty. If the leader doesn't mind it, he can find a room to stay and rest."
The fox fur on Qin Mu's neck exploded, and he was trembling.
Dutian Demon King and Long Qilin were also awestruck. The white-browed old man did not hide it at all and directly called Qin Mu the Demon Leader. He obviously had no intention of hiding it and did not bother to hide it.
And they kept spinning in circles, probably because of the old man's actions!
Qin Mu thanked him and said, "Elder, how many people are there in this village?"
The white-browed old man said: "Currently there is only one person and one dog, but I have hung up lights in every room. The villagers will come over soon. There will be a carnival by then, and it will probably be very noisy. The Demon Leader doesn't want it.
Disgusted. We are all coolies, people who work hard and don’t know any etiquette. If there is any offense, please forgive me, Master Tianmo."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Qin Mu bid farewell to the white-browed old man, went to the center of the village, chose the largest courtyard, and said, "Elder, please come back, we will stay here."
The white-browed old man smiled and said: "Sleep well, Lord Demon."
"Thank you for your kind words."
Qin Mu pushed the door open and walked in. The smile on his face immediately disappeared, and he said quickly: "Stop talking, go into the main room, go to bed, and don't open your eyes!"
Long Qilin and Hu Ling'er were puzzled, and Demon King Dutian said: "This old guy has bad intentions..."
Qin Mu casually made a move, and Dutian Demon King couldn't move. Qin Mu opened the door of the hall, threw Dutian Demon King to the ground, and closed his twelve eyelids.
Long Qilin squeezed in, cracking the door open and causing the two wooden doors to fall to the ground.
Just as Long Qilin was about to speak, Qin Mu made a silent gesture, signaling him to close his eyes. Fox Ling'er slipped off Qin Mu's neck, climbed onto Long Qilin's back and closed his eyes.
Qin Mu opened the gluttonous bag, took out a scroll, closed his eyes and hung the painting with nails on the wall facing the door of the hall.
"Grandpa Lame said that this painting of the village chief painted by Grandpa Deaf in his early years can ward off evil spirits. Let's see if Grandpa Lame is lying to me."
He lay down, facing the door, his eyes wide and motionless.
There was silence all around.
After a while, there were chaotic footsteps outside, and a somewhat familiar voice was heard, which seemed to be Lu Wenwen, saying: "Senior Qingshan lit a lamp in the dark night and called us here. Could it be that he has found the leader of the Demonic Cult?"
Another woman said: "It's shameful to say that we chased him all the way and failed to kill him. Instead, Taoist Ku Ye suffered from his poisonous hands and was killed by the demon he summoned." The voice sounded like Qingyu Sanren.
The white-browed old man's voice came and said: "The Demonic Cult Leader has already fallen asleep in the village."
"Senior Qingshan is still a good trick! I will kill him now!"
"There's no rush, let's wait for other comrades to come and take their lives to celebrate this great victory!"
…
After a while, the footsteps of more than a dozen people were heard. When everyone heard that the Demon Cult Master was in the village, they couldn't help laughing and everyone put down a stone in their hearts.
There was the sound of drinking again outside, and the lights were brightly lit. It was obvious that these strong men were celebrating.
"Although the Demon Leader is not very capable, he has a lot of tricks. He is really difficult to deal with. I am ashamed to say that several of us were injured and were almost beaten to death by the demon he summoned."
"Today we deal with this beast, and we have brought justice to the world. Come, let's drink this cup together!"
"Senior Brother Feng Qiwu has arrived? Come here quickly to celebrate the Demon Slaying Conference!"
…
The lights outside were bright, illuminating the windows of Qin Mu's house with mottled shadows and shaking shadows. The weather was very cold, and Qin Mu saw Hu Ling'er shivering and put his hand on her belly.
Hu Ling'er turned around, and Qin Mu quickly stretched out two fingers to cover her eyelids.
Outside, masters besieging Qin Mu came from all over the place one after another. Their laughter became louder and louder, and they celebrated with each other. After a long time, the white-browed old man laughed and said: "Everyone, it's getting late. It's time.
Send the Demon Cult Master on his way."
Fox Ling'er shivered, hearing the door to the courtyard being opened and making a creaking sound, but she didn't dare to open her eyes.
Lu Wentang walked into the courtyard first and said with a smile: "The Demonic Cult Leader actually fell asleep, soundly asleep..."
Suddenly, his head slipped silently from his neck, and his body fell to the ground. A great master in the realm of gods and humans died in this way.
"There is a master in the yard! Brother Lu has a vicious hand!"
There was a noise outside the courtyard, and a loud roar was heard. One by one, strong men broke the walls of the courtyard and rushed in. The whole body was covered with flames, and behind them stood the phantom of the god, with overwhelming momentum!
As soon as they landed, their heads suddenly slipped silently from their necks, and they died inexplicably no matter how hard they tried.
It's as if there is an invisible god in this courtyard wielding an invisible sword, cutting off the heads of anyone who dares to break into the courtyard!
