Qi Xuansu was hit in the chest by the "Xuanyu" thrown by Qiniang. The energy contained in the "Xuanyu" did not knock Qi Xuansu away. Instead, the "Xuanyu" itself sank directly into Qi Xuansu's chest and disappeared like a mud cow entering the sea.
.
Qi Xuansu's eyesight went dark and he fell backwards.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuelu was right next to Qi Xuansu and directly reached out to catch Qi Xuansu, letting him fall into his arms.
Qi Xuansu's last thought before losing consciousness was so soft.
Then Qi Xuansu had a dream.
In his sleep, Qi Xuansu once again came to the old place, and it was still a familiar scene. As the saying goes, it is familiar again, and he no longer panicked, but felt familiar and friendly.
It's still that tall, tall, dark mountain.
Qi Xuansu said nothing and climbed directly along the rugged trail to the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain was still the same, a huge open space with a big fire in the middle.
The last time I came, there were nine tall figures behind the fire, but this time it became eight tall figures.
These eight tall figures are still shrouded in a layer of shadow that is so thick that they cannot be removed. Only a vague outline can be seen, and only two points of blood-red light shine at the position of the eyes.
The nine figures last time put great pressure on Qi Xuansu, with both goodwill and hostility. This time, Qi Xuansu clearly felt that the pressure had become less, and there was more goodwill and less hostility.
What follows is still the same process.
The fire became brighter and brighter, making the surroundings appear darker and darker. Eight figures stood between the fire and darkness, with uncertain light and darkness, and began to murmur.
After another moment, the whispering voice gradually became louder, as if it had traveled through the long and distant river of time and arrived in the present world.
At this moment, the eight figures gradually disappeared and retreated into the darkness, leaving only one figure walking forward into the firelight.
Qi Xuansu immediately saw the true appearance of this figure. She was still a woman who was more than ten feet tall. Her black hair was as black as ink, hanging down to her waist. Her skin was fair, and her face was painted with strange paint. Behind her was a strange totem, earthy yellow in color.
, human body, snake tail, with nine arms.
This figure opened his arms and took Qi Xuansu into his arms, like a loving mother holding a child.
The originally dazzling fire suddenly disappeared, the fire went out, and darkness fell between heaven and earth.
The ground beneath Qi Xuansu's feet suddenly shattered, and a hole appeared. Qi Xuansu fell uncontrollably and was drowned by the blood that followed, leaving only a bright red patch as far as the eye could see.
I don't know how long it took, Qi Xuansu woke up and turned around. He no longer saw the black mountains and the giant-like women, nor could he see the blood in his eyes. What he could see was a hanging lamp, emitting a warm orange light.
, he looked around again and found that he was lying on a bed, with no tables, chairs or other objects around him.
Qi Xuansu closed his eyes again, and could vaguely hear the sound of rain coming from outside the house. The raindrops fell on the rows of tiles, making a rustling sound, and he began to look inward.
It can be said that I am both excited and disappointed.
What was exciting was that, as expected, he received the third additional inheritance, the witchcraft inheritance. What was disappointing was that he did not become a heavenly being.
This piece of "mysterious jade" left by Zhenjun Siming, let's call it the "mysterious jade of gods", which is different from the previous "mysterious jade of life" and "mysterious jade of death".
It has to be said that this piece of "God's Mysterious Jade" is worthy of being a large-scale "Xuan Jade". It not only pushed Qi Xuansu's alchemist inheritance, martial arts inheritance and the newly obtained witchcraft inheritance to the Guizhen Ninth Floor, but also Qi Xuansu himself.
His Sanren cultivation has also been pushed to the Jiuzhonglou stage of returning to his true form.
This certainly does not mean that Qi Xuansu alone can withstand four people from the Nine Layers of the Realm Stage. After all, Qi Xuansu cannot use four completely different magical powers at the same time, nor can he use four weapons at the same time. It is difficult for two fists to defeat a four-handed person.
The truth is not outdated. But if it is just one-on-one, Qi Xuansu is far beyond the level of people in the same situation. Even if he faces ordinary heavenly beings, he has the power to fight.
In addition, Qi Xuansu's alchemist inheritance and martial arts inheritance are still incomplete. The alchemist failed to condense his thoughts, and the martial artist failed to condense his body and spirit. If the inheritance is also divided into high and low, then only the martial artist who condenses his body and spirit can be regarded as a high-quality martial artist.
The martial arts before this can only be regarded as low-grade martial arts, and the same applies to the alchemists.
However, Qi Xuansu also gradually realized that something was wrong. The Sanren who were supplemented by "Xuanyu" did not seem to be completely equivalent to the banished immortals. At least Zhang Yuelu did not have the supernatural power of "flesh and blood", and he had never seen Zhang Yuelu's Yin God appear.
Qiao, the completed Sanren are indeed similar to the banished immortals, but they are different.
Regarding this point, he could have a good discussion with Zhang Yuelu.
Qi Xuansu quit looking inside and opened his eyes again.
At this moment, Qi Xuansu heard Zhang Yuelu's voice ringing in his ears: "You're awake."
Qi Xuansu looked around and saw that because of the hanging curtains, Zhang Yuelu was sitting on the side of the bed. His figure was just blocked by the rolled up curtains, so Qi Xuansu was not able to see him immediately.
Qi Xuansu simply sat up: "How long have I slept?"
"Three days and two nights." Zhang Yuelu stood up and walked around to the bed.
Today, Zhang Yuelu did not wear a formal crane cloak, but changed into a moon-white dress with lake-colored edges. Her black hair was held up by a jade hairpin. She was elegant and elegant. She did not look like the deputy head of the Tiangang Hall, but more like a well-educated and well-educated young lady.
Qi Xuansu admired it silently for a moment, then looked away and asked again: "Where is this?"
Zhang Yuelu said: "This is the branch of Huasheng Hall of Jinling Mansion."
Qi Xuansu blinked at her and said, "Did you send me here?" Zhang Yuelu said softly, "Hmm" and opened the window. Outside, he could see a pond covered in rain and mist, with the sound of frogs chirping.
Qi Xuansu noticed that Zhang Yuelu was not in a good mood, so he couldn't help but be a little more careful and asked softly: "How is the situation in Jinling Mansion?"
Zhang Yuelu held his hands on the window sill: "It's very bad. Although he defeated Zhenjun Siming, many people still died because of it. In Jinling Mansion today, it cannot be said that every family wears filial piety, but almost every ten families do so.
To put it bluntly, this does not include those whose entire families had no survivors. Preliminary estimates put the number of dead at over 10,000."
Qi Xuansu was silent.
In troubled times, it is common for thousands of people to die, ten thousand people to die, one hundred thousand people to die, and one million people to die. Deaths due to epidemics, famines, and military disasters. At that time,
From the princes and nobles to the common people, it cannot be said that they are accustomed to it, but they have become numb. For the princes and nobles, it is just a number. For the common people, they are precarious. They don’t know whether they can save their lives, and they have no energy left.
Sympathy for others?
But it is different now. The world is now considered to be peaceful. It has been peaceful for a long time. We have seen no weapons, not to mention ordinary people. Not even Zhang Yuelu, who was born in Tiangang Hall, or Qi Xuansu, who has many lives on his hands, have not seen them.
No wonder Zhang Yuelu was in a heavy mood.
According to Zhang Yuelu's detailed description, Qi Xuansu finally knew the general situation.
Lord Siming permeated the entire Jinling Mansion with Yin Qi, absorbing souls and flesh and blood. After Daomen defeated True Lord Siming, the incarnation of Lord Siming was shattered, and many souls that had not yet had time to be "digested" returned to the world and returned to the world again.
Returned to the body and came back to life.
In this way, although these people will have symptoms of despair, their lives have been saved and they can slowly recuperate. There are tens of thousands of these people, and most of them are counted among the "injured" ranks.
However, those who were contaminated by the "gifts" were irreversible and were directly swallowed by the Lord Siming, and it was difficult for the gods to save them. Although the Jiangnan Taoist Government had tried its best to purify the "gifts", there were still many things that could not be taken into consideration in the rush.
The shanty towns were the hardest-hit areas, with more than 9,000 people dead. Yamen at all levels and Jiangnan Provincial Government have begun to clean up the mess, collect the corpses, continue to purify the remaining "gifts", and catch the fish that slipped through the net of the Zhiming Cult.
More than a thousand people died in the chaos caused by Lord Siming. For example, the house collapsed and the whole family was buried underneath, or it was a direct man-made disaster. This part is mainly the responsibility of the government and county governments.
Pensions and pensions should be paid, and people should be arrested and arrested.
The governor, the governor, the real person in charge of Jiangnan Dao Mansion and the deputy palace masters have returned to Jinling Mansion one after another. They are in charge of the overall situation. There is no need for Zhang Yuelu, the deputy master of Tiangang Hall, to worry about it, so she stayed here at Huasheng Hall.
Guard Qi Xuansu.
After Qi Xuansu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "In prosperity, the people suffer. In death, the people suffer."
