Tao Ying ran around in a panic. He looked back and found that the distance between himself and the Taotie was much closer.
At this moment, his heart seemed quite miserable and desperate.
Because his breath is already quite disordered, basically there is less air coming in and more air coming out. I'm afraid if he continues like this, even if he doesn't get eaten by the glutton, I'm afraid he will run away due to the violent running.
expire.
He wanted to stop here. Anyway, he was going to die anyway, so he might as well stop and die comfortably.
Just thinking about it, he had been running for so long before and was out of breath. If he stopped now and waited comfortably to die, wouldn't his previous escape be equivalent to a wasted effort?
He felt like a fool when he thought that he had persisted for so long and then gave up now.
So, he started running desperately again.
"If I really couldn't beat this beast, why would it be like this! Why would it be like this!" Tao Ying roared with a look of grief and anger.
He turned his head again and looked at Taotie's position behind him, and it seemed to be a little closer to him.
Feeling the little power of heaven and earth's righteousness left in his body, he gritted his teeth and roared: "The sage said, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."
A sound fell.
Bright golden light emanated from Tao Ying's body, and then quickly converged on his legs.
In an instant, Tao Ying's panting appearance seemed to have been injected with a cardiotonic drug again. The tired look on his face was instantly wiped away, and the running speed of his legs became faster, almost turning into a muscle.
Like a phantom, he quickly distanced himself from Taotie.
But it's just a distance.
Without strong enough means of blocking, it was impossible for Tao Ying to get rid of this glutton.
Moreover, after ten thousand steps, Tao Ying's speed slowed down again.
But Taotie, who seemed to never get tired, maintained the same speed and began to close the distance with Tao Ying again.
"Wanli! Wanli! Not Wanbu!" Tao Ying choked with grief and anger, and the look of despair on her face became even stronger.
But he also knew that with the little bit of righteousness he had left in him, it was naturally impossible for him to really run thousands of miles.
Being able to close a distance of nearly ten thousand steps surprised him enough.
Moreover, this kind of "sage's words" is not without cost.
Feeling the rapid loss of physical strength in her body, as well as the sudden strong dizziness and nausea, as well as her sore and weak limbs, Tao Ying felt that she was really doomed this time.
His speed is getting slower and slower.
It's almost not much faster than the walking speed of men in their seventies or eighties.
"This time, he should really die."
Tao Ying sighed.
He almost gave up any expectations. After all, he was exhausted now, and with the overwhelming righteousness left in his body, it was unlikely that he could even sustain a "Ten Thousand Miles Journey", let alone another "Ten Thousand Miles Journey".
Smiling miserably.
Tao Ying really stood still this time, but he couldn't maintain his stance for a second before he collapsed on the ground, completely ignoring the extremely strong vibration on the ground. Because he had already fled.
In a few days, all the elixirs in his body had been consumed. Except for the first few days when he could get rid of the glutton, in the last few days, he could no longer get rid of it at all.
It seemed as if this glutton could sense his position. No matter where he had been hiding in the past few days, the other party would be able to catch up with him accurately.
So in the last two days, he didn't even have time to close his eyes and rest for a while.
My mental and physical abilities have truly reached their limits.
So when Tao Ying collapsed on the ground, his inner thought was that he loved someone, and he just wanted to sleep with him like this forever.
"It would be better if this beast didn't make so much noise."
Tao Ying sighed quietly and thought about the last bit of righteousness left in her body. She would definitely not be able to survive anyway, so she shouldn't waste the last bit of righteousness. So after thinking about it, she spoke again.
: "The sage said: There is nothing in heaven..."
Halfway through, Tao Ying suddenly fell silent.
Then he chuckled and changed his words again: "Huang Ziyun: There is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright!"
Tao Ying, who was lying on the ground, exhaled comfortably, then turned her head and glanced at Taotie, who was getting closer and closer to her, and smiled freely: "I have wanted to do this for a long time. Those fools in the academy
Sage, he keeps shouting every day that Huang Zi did not join the academy, and what he said cannot be regarded as quotations from sages... Bah, what the hell."
"call out--"
A sound broke through the air.
Tao Ying's face was stunned.
He could feel the last bit of Haoran's righteous energy left in his body completely leaving his body, and then dissipating in the world.
Although it was not able to restore a trace of clarity to the area around him, the feeling of being "consumed" was quite obvious, which was why Tao Ying's face showed extreme shock.
After this shock, his face showed a look of ecstasy: "Huang Valley Master is the truth in the world! No... wait a minute."
But then, the look of ecstasy quickly disappeared from his face.
Instead, there was horror on his face.
After Confucian monks arrive in the Earthly Immortal Realm, they can practice special exercises similar to the "Golden Rules".
This method is the manifestation of the "law" of Confucian monks: as long as the Qi is gathered and exported using this method, the awe-inspiring righteousness will resonate with the heaven and earth, and then turn into some kind of "real" deeds.
People like Tao Ying, who has a low cultivation level, must use the prefix "sage words" every time they speak, which is a bit like "activating the code word", as if to express to heaven that what I say next is the truth.
.And if his cultivation can become more advanced, for example, after becoming the Supreme, then he will not need such "activation code words". As long as what he thinks in his heart is true, it will inevitably become true.
In the Confucian school, this method that does not require "activating secret words" is called "exporting the rules" and "the golden rule" - Song Nana's "golden rule" of directly intervening in cause and effect is similar to this, but because she directly interferes with the cause and effect.
Interference and reversal of cause and effect, so the priority is higher than that of monks of the Confucian lineage.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages.
This powerful ability must come with a price.
As Tao Ying said before, "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles." The price is to directly forget the contents of ten thousand books in his mind. It is said that this exchange price is to prevent Confucian monks from deliberately
Don't pay the price for cheating: After all, if a Confucian monk is lazy, 10,000 books can take decades and hundreds of years to read, so it is better to randomly erase the contents of 10,000 books from your mind and force
You have to relearn.
It is said that these changes were made after Huang Zi went to the Academy of Various Scholars, and Tiandao made some changes. A long time ago, Confucian disciples had a very complete set of tactics of defaulting on debts, and they were always successful.
But not anymore.
Tiandao has rejected this kind of behavior of first paying debts and then paying bills. Instead, when the Confucian monks make an exchange, they must recover the price.
Tao Ying originally said "Huang Ziyun", but he made it clear that he didn't think it was a "activation code word", so he was just talking about it.
But what he never expected was that the last bit of Haoran's righteousness in his body was gone.
And he knew very well that his righteousness alone was not enough to pay the price of being saved.
The howling wind swept past.
Tao Ying only felt a chill in his body, and then he was grabbed by one hand, picked up directly, and then quickly moved away.
Taotie was stunned for a moment while he was running, and then he hurriedly stopped, silently turning his head to look at the place where the sword light flew by, then he changed his direction unsteadily, and started running again to catch up.
…
"Ah, my hand! My hand!"
"It's not over yet, I won't die." Listening to Tao Ying's wailing, Su Anran shouted with a headache, "If you keep arguing, I'll throw you away."
Tao Ying shut up for a moment.
But the look of sadness and anger on his face remained the same.
Su Anran looked at Tao Ying, who was covered in injuries, with a bit of embarrassment on her face.
Just now he showed off his flying sword to catch the moon, and successfully captured the person in one go.
But he didn't know that at the moment he caught the person, the sword energy that he had restrained on the sword to increase speed suddenly dispersed, and then Tao Ying's clothes were scraped into strips.
The strip of cloth even allowed him to experience the thrill of Lingchi. Then, no matter how far he flew, there were traces of blood spilled by Tao Ying, so Su Anran had to change his plan temporarily and descend to the ground first.
Give him emergency treatment.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that this guy would die from excessive blood loss.
But just after the treatment, Su Anran looked at Taotie who was chasing after her, so she prepared to continue taking Tao Ying on the road to escape.
But he never thought that when he just grabbed Tao Ying's arm, Tao Ying's foot slipped and he not only fell to the ground, but also because of the loss of strength, his hand was pulled and dislocated by Su Anran, and his entire arm was completely damaged.
The swelling increased. And Su Anran didn't know how to set bones, so she could only ignore Tao Ying's injury for the time being and choose to continue running away.
So now, while flying high in the sky, if he accidentally touches Tao Ying's hand, the guy will howl so loudly that Su Anran starts to feel a headache.
But this time, it was purely the other party's fault, and it was not Su Anran's fault, so Su Anran didn't look good on the other party.
"Tell me, as a Confucian disciple, why are you so afraid of pain?" Su Anran said angrily, "When I saw you just now, weren't you even afraid of death?"
"That's different." Su Anran was holding Tao Ying's collar with one hand. He was still a little scared. What if something happened, for example, the collar was torn and he fell down and died? So he
Don't dare to move at all.
"The pain of death is momentary, but this pain is continuous and is completely different."
Su Anran was speechless and didn't know what to say to this person: "Just be patient for now, someone will help you treat him soon."
Tao Ying didn't dare to say anything, didn't dare to ask anything, and nodded aggrievedly.
My family knows their own affairs.
He knew very well why he was so unlucky, so he didn't dare to refute it at all. He could only silently pray that nothing would happen again at this time...
"Tear-"
Tao Ying:…….
Su Anran:…….
"Save-life-ah-ah-ah-"
Tao Ying, who was free to fall to the ground, struggled wildly and screamed, but as soon as she moved, her dislocated left hand was pulled again, and she screamed in pain again.
Su Anran had never seen such an unlucky person. She muttered and wondered if bad luck was contagious, and then pressed the sword light to rescue quickly. Because Su Anran was not sure, this Confucian disciple seemed to be possessed by a degenerate god.
If it falls to death, will the Taotie gain wisdom?
If so, then his rescue is meaningless.
If not... Su Anran thought about it and still saved him, although he didn't know why he wanted to save this person so much.
With a flash of sword light, Su Anran came to Tao Ying's side, reached out and grabbed Tao Ying's right hand.
"Click——"
"ah--"
There was only a very clear sound of bones and joints, and both Su Anran and Tao Ying knew that the unlucky guy's right hand was also dislocated.
Tao Ying was very aggrieved.
He now knows what the result of "There is a bright future in another village".
Thinking that she was going to be eaten by Taotie, Su Anran came to save her.
Thinking that he was saved, the sword energy made him experience a Lingchi pleasure.
Thinking he was going to bleed to death, Su Anran healed him.
Thinking he was saved again, his foot slipped and his left hand was dislocated.
Thinking he could finally escape, his clothes tore.
Thinking that he was going to fall to death this time, Su Anran saved him in time again, but the result was that his right hand was also dislocated.
Tao Ying didn't dare to think or say anything now. He forced his mind to empty out quickly. He was afraid that if he continued to think wildly, it would be hard to tell whether he was healthy or not.
If he could be given another chance now, he would definitely not say the words "there is a bright future in another village", but would choose the "sage's words" and "heaven's inexhaustible road". Maybe he would not need to suffer
This is torture.
After all, there is a big difference between the life-saving method of paying in installments and the life-saving method of settling the balance in one lump sum.
…
Su Anran looked at the unlucky guy who was being held in her hand and felt extremely sympathetic.
He really had never seen such an unlucky person.
So much so that Su Anran had doubts. If she grabbed his neck, would this guy break his neck?
Therefore, he could only hold the opponent's right hand.
Anyway, it’s already dislocated, right?
No matter how miserable it is, it can't be more miserable than this.
Then soon, Su Anran saw Kong Ling, who had already led Qingyu to the pre-arranged place. As soon as he put Tao Ying on the ground, the guy's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground with an ouch.
Su Anran, Qing Yu, and Kong Ling looked at the man lying on the ground unable to get up speechlessly, and looked at each other.
Tao Ying twisted the ankle of her right leg.
"Is this the man who imagined Taotie?"
"Yeah." Facing Qingyu's question, Su Anran nodded.
"I have never seen anyone so unlucky."
"I haven't seen it either." Su Anran shook her head, "I suspect that the secret realm will become like this now. It must be affected by this guy's bad luck."
"you……"
Tao Ying wanted to say you fart, but when she opened her mouth, she choked on her own saliva and could only make a violent coughing sound.
"Look, I can't stand the sky anymore." Su Anran shook her head with regret, "How could such a good person be so unlucky?"
Tao Ying didn't dare to say anything or think anything.
I am provoking someone.
It is indeed not without reason that the academy sages did not allow Huang Zi to become a saint!
