Estranged

Chapter 143: The prelude to a conspiracy.

The black shadow rushed over immediately, but Jian Guang was faster than it.

The two sides were entangled, and the black shadow quickly ran out of the house like a shooting star chasing the moon with Jian Guang.

In other words, it was Jian Guang who forced the shadow outside the house.

Under the blade of the sword, the black shadow stretched left and right, but it could always save the day. It grew in size rapidly, transformed into a human form, completely enveloped the sword light, and by the way even Chang Ming was also tightly wrapped.

Xia Zheng and the others had also arrived, and everyone couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw this scene. Li Muxing turned his head suddenly and saw Qin Qian's legs turned into bones. What happens.

The dying Qin Qian was supported by Xia Zheng and Lin Wenyu from left to right, his face was pale, and he asked tremblingly, "Brother, why do I feel that the bottom is empty? My legs are still there, aren't they?"

Below the knees, there are only two gleaming white bones still supporting, moving with the master's trembling.

Qin Qian, who left the mountain gate, didn't even have time to see the world in the future, and he didn't have time to see the master duel he dreamed of at the Qianlin meeting. He had to bear such a blow. A pair of legs is equal to the future of a monk. But it was doomed to a dismal end.

"Eldest brother, talk to me..."

Xia Zheng couldn't bear to see it and couldn't answer, so he looked away and looked at Jiufang Changming who was fighting with the shadow in the yard.

If Daoyou Sun hadn't acted in time just now, now Qin Qian would lose his life, let alone lose his legs.

What is that monster?

Li Muxing reacted the fastest. She raised her sword to meet him, and wanted to help Chang Ming defend against the enemy, but found that as soon as she got close to the black shadow, she felt the cold air seeping in. She ignored her spiritual power and directly forced her I had to take a few steps back, but still couldn't stop the icy cold, I only felt a shiver all over my body, and my body swayed involuntarily.

"Don't come over!" She heard Jiufang Changming say.

Li Muxing was in doubt. At first glance, the black shadow looked ordinary, but it was so powerful. She thought that her cultivation base was already around the high-level monks, not only in her small sect in the deep mountains and old forests, but also walking outside. , is also enough to stand alone.

But even so, when she faced the black shadow, she was still suppressed to the point that she couldn't use half of her spiritual power.

The sword energy swayed out, and immediately shattered into pieces. Li Muxing swooped back like a violent storm. Li Muxing's defense was instantly shattered, and he almost suffered internal injuries.

The black shadow let out a disturbing hoarse growl, full of black energy, and involved Jianguang and Jiufang Changming in it. The black storm in the courtyard gradually expanded and spread, and the sword light in the center of the storm could be vaguely seen. Seems powerless, struggling to survive.

Li Muxing has experienced the horror of this, and he is even more uncertain whether this fellow Daoist Sun who met by chance can gain the upper hand in this fight.

Xuanyue, who had never seen such a battle, tightly grabbed the sleeve of senior brother Xia Zheng, her face turned pale, and she couldn't speak a word.

Among the people present, only Jiufang Changming knew what he was fighting with.

It's a succubus, but it's not a succubus.

Most of the original succubi in Hongluo Town have been wiped out by them. Even if there are still remnants, they will not suddenly become so powerful. This black shadow not only has a human form, but also has extraordinary intelligence, and knows how to fight. Circling around, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, just now when he saw that he was powerful, he wanted to give up him and take Li Muxing. If he hadn't been stopped by him, now Li Muxing would be like that kid, dying or being disabled.

It seemed that the sword light was besieged, but in fact the black shadow was held back by the sword light. Chang Ming squeezed the sword formula in his hand, and split the sword into three parts, breaking the black shadow, leaving the shadow in the air, making it impossible for the black shadow to escape.

The other party roared in a low voice, and a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the black air stared at him, with deep resentment and a thick and intractable smell.

"I know you can understand human speech." Chang Ming transmitted his voice through his spiritual consciousness. "Who instructed you to come? If you are willing to tell the truth, I will let you live."

"Who...instructed me..." The shadow repeated imitatively in a hoarse voice, and giggled. "You have a very sweet smell on your body, sweeter than all of them. I like it very much. Give me your skin, I will cherish it..."

Before the words fell, the black shadow gradually faded and dissipated under everyone's gaze.

As early as when he saw the black shadow, Jiufang Changming had already built an enchantment in the yard, and cast a deep sleep spell along the way, so that other residents would not be able to enter, nor would they hear any movement inside, and would just continue to sleep peacefully, maybe Have a little nightmare.

The others still had lingering fears, and Lin Wenyu, who was hiding behind the pillar, couldn't help poking his head out.

"What is that thing..."

"Get out of the way!" Chang Ming shouted sharply.

Lin Wenyu didn't know why, and subconsciously rolled over to the side.

The next moment, a gust of wind blew in his nostrils, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow condensed into a shape, standing right where he had just stood.

If it's half a second later...

The consequences could be disastrous.

When the black shadow was formed, the sword light was like a rainbow, and it was almost at the same time that it slashed at the head!

In the blink of an eye, there was a flash, and the black shadow couldn't expect someone to move so fast. The other party seemed to have counted every corner here, just waiting for him to appear, and immediately killed him!

Amidst the screams, the sword energy passed by, and the black shadow turned into dust, dissipating invisible.

Jiufang Changming retracted his sword and sheathed it, breaking the silence.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, first look at your junior brother's injuries."

Xia Zheng came to his senses, and rushed to his junior brother Qin Qian, who was motionless, he was slightly startled, stretched out his hand to check his breath, found that he was still breathing, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm afraid he passed out from the pain. I just gave him medicine to stop bleeding and promote Qi."

His life should be fine, but I'm afraid that after waking up, the little junior brother still can't accept the reality that he lost his legs overnight.

"Thank you Daoist Sun, if it weren't for you, none of us would be spared now." Li Muxing thanked solemnly.

Jiufang Changming's current identity is Sun Wuxia, he has to behave like Sun Wuxia, waved his hands and said modestly: "It's also a coincidence, I have seen this kind of monster in Hongluo Town."

Li Muxing wondered, "A monster? Isn't it a ghost?"

The black shadow was already in the shape of a human, with a strong ghostly aura, what is it if it is not a ghost?

Chang Ming said: "Dream Demon is good at hiding and transforming. When he meets ghosts, he turns into ghosts, and when he meets people, he turns into people. He is unpredictable and unpredictable. This time, he should have killed people and seen blood. He used the souls of the dead for his own use. Come."

Ordinary ghosts, possessing souls, are really common, but after this black shadow Qin Qian, instead of rushing to ingest his soul, he directly devoured and devoured his body. Only monsters can be so hungry and crazy.

Why does the succubus pretend to be a ghost? Even the remaining succubi in Hongluo Town who escaped seemed unable to wreak havoc in Shangzhou, unless someone was behind the scenes.

And who that person will be seems to be ready to come out.

But Li Muxing and the others knew nothing about it, and Chang Ming's identity had not been revealed. This succubus didn't come specifically to target them, but more likely appeared in Shangzhou by chance and chose this place to attack.

Jiufang Changming has yet to fully understand the other party's intentions, and the most urgent task right now is to appease these people.

"Sun Daoyou, please see if my little brother can recover?" Xia Zheng lost his mind for a while, and could only ask the doctor in a hurry. It turned out to be a lifesaver at a critical moment. At this time, he spoke not only politely, but also with some prayers and expectations, hoping that the other party can live to the death of human flesh and bones, and turn decay into magic.

It's a pity that Jiufang Changming shook his head: "The body is lacking, and I can't do anything about it. Now that he is physically and mentally injured, I'm afraid he won't be able to go to the Qianlin Association. It's best to go back as soon as possible. Maybe your seniors have some secret method to make him recover, and things will change later. "

Xia Zheng came out this time and shouldered the duty of winning honor for the teacher. Now if he turns back halfway, all previous efforts will be for naught, but Qin Qian will definitely not be able to move forward with his current state.

He was in a dilemma, but his ignorant junior sister Yuyue stepped forward this time: "Brother, you go to Qianlinhui, I will take the younger brother back first, anyway, this time I am just here to join in the fun, I will take him first Go back and heal."

Xia Zheng was worried when Yaoyue went back alone, he looked at Lin Wenyu: "Why don't you **** them back with the second junior brother?"

However, Lin Wenyu showed hesitation: "Elder brother, I don't feel worried about you being alone here. It's good to have a junior sister accompany the younger brother back. I'll go with you."

This is obviously because he does not want to miss the opportunity, and wants to go to the Qianlin Club to have a look.

Xia Zheng was a little disappointed, but he couldn't blame Lin Wenyu. In addition to his teacher's expectations, he insisted on going to the Qianlin Association for his own selfish motives.

Everyone has selfishness, no one can be an exception.

Li Muxing had no intention of meddling with the affairs of their fellow disciples, her attention was all on the strange black shadow just now. The more I think about it, the weirder it becomes.

"Shangzhou is not far from Zhengrong Mountain Villa, and there are still monsters just haunting it. It can be said to be audacious. Is there any reason for this?"

"I don't know, but to avoid long nights and dreams, let's set off for Zhengrong Mountain Villa tomorrow." Chang Ming had many guesses, but he couldn't say anything, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.

Li Muxing also felt that this monster came strangely, and it might be related to Qianlinhui, but she still hasn't figured out what the connection is.

After this accident, everyone was in panic, not to mention rest, except for Changming, everyone else was sleepless in the second half of the night, waiting for dawn, finally surviving until dawn appeared in the east, Xia Zheng's four people also had In other words, Xuanyue took his junior brother Qin Qian back to the master's gate first, Xia Zheng sent a letter to the master's gate, and asked the master's gate to send someone to wait for them at the foot of the mountain, and Lin Wenyu followed Xia Zheng and the others to continue to Qianlinhui.

A group of people no longer had the interest to visit mountains and rivers, and all of them hurried on their way. After eating and washing, they set off for Zhengrong Mountain Villa in the suburbs.

That place is not far from Shangzhou, and it can be reached in half a day, but there is a prohibition formation around it, and there are outer disciples stationed there to prevent people from intruding indiscriminately. The four of Jiufang Changming went outside the Taolin and saw the disciples from Zhengrong Villa coming up. Then I offered a famous post.

The disciple held three name cards and looked them up and down, his eyes were piercing and uncomfortable.

Xia Zheng couldn't help frowning: "Dare to ask you, but what's wrong with the famous post?"

The other party said: "There is nothing wrong with the name cards, but you four have only three name cards."

Xia Zheng: "Qianlin Club has always followed the rules. Attendees are allowed to bring relatives and friends. This is my younger brother. I can prove his identity."

The man was still meticulous, caught Xia Zheng and Lin Wenyu asked a lot of questions, Lin Wenyu was young and energetic, and almost couldn't help having a fit, Xia Zheng suppressed them all, even Jiufang Changming felt that the other party was too strict head.

"Fellow Daoist, I still have a name card on me, which belongs to my uncle. It's just that the old man took a step ahead of his family. If not, I will give this name card to Fellow Daoist Lin, okay?" Jiufang Changming said. He said, while handing over a kit. "This is a hundred-year-old sealwort, an excellent material for alchemy and medicine, please accept it."

Don't think that monks are extraordinary and untouchable, after all, they are just more powerful people.

The disciple hesitated for a moment, and after listening to Xia Zheng say a few good words, he accepted the bribe: "Fellow daoists, don't think I'm picking on you, it's just that a big incident happened half a day ago, everyone up and down is like facing a big enemy, I have to keep up my spirits as I am ordered by my master."

Jiufang Changming: "What's the big deal, so serious?"

With this bag of sealwort, the other party's tone softened a lot, but what he said was enough to make a person like Chang Ming, who can't express his emotions and anger, twitch his brows and his heart beating like a drum.

"It's the Jiang Dynasty lord of the Wanjian Immortal Sect, who was possessed by a monster, and wanted to kill in public. Fortunately, his teacher, Master Luomei, was present and stopped him, avoiding a disaster, but many people were killed and injured. I heard from several senior real people that this incident may be related to a traitor in the early years of Wanjian Xianzong, and what's more, this person may have mixed into Zhengrong Villa, waiting for an opportunity to make a bigger incident, so the owner of the villa ordered me to wait Here, strictly check the entry and exit of suspicious persons!"
