Estranged

Chapter 42: The sky here is about to change.

Things started half a month ago.

That night, Xu Fenglin, one of the five elders of Tianchui City, sent someone to take Chang Ming away, and Xu Jingxian also knew about it.

She originally wanted to follow, but they refused to take her, so she had to stay in the inn and wait for news.

He waited and waited and couldn't sleep, so he simply went to find Chen Ting next door, intending to bully him, but Chen Ting was also missing.

At this time, night fell, and it was pitch black outside. The legendary vultures came out of their nests. Even if there was no moon or light outside, Xu Jingxian could feel that the dense vultures almost occupied a large area of ​​the sky, and the movement of their wings flapping was clear even when she was inside the house. smell.

Years of intrigues at the Devil's Gate taught her how to snuff out unnecessary curiosity in the bud. Xu Jingxian stayed quietly in the house all night. Fall asleep to the sounds of fighting and screams everywhere.

Until the next morning, she received the shocking news that Xu Fenglin had died.

Xu Fenglin, who was born out of nowhere, entered Jiuchongyuan, defeated demons from Qixing River, and went all the way to Tianchui City, and became one of the five elders, died in Yunding Lake in Tianchui City.

It is said that he was killed by someone and fell into the lake. His body was eaten up by vultures, and his death was horrible.

In Tianchui City, countless monks die every day.

Many people are powerful outside, and their spiritual power is limited when they come here, and they may not be able to command the wind and rain as before, or they are accidentally plotted by others, there are many people.

But a genius of the East China Sea School like Xu Fenglin, if there is no accident, will leave Jiuchongyuan in the future, and nine times out of ten he will also be the future head of the East China Sea School, but ended his life in such a ridiculous way of death.

The rumor did not mention Chang Ming from the beginning to the end, because they had just arrived in Tianchui City the day before, but Xu Jingxian had an intuition that Xu Fenglin's death was definitely related to Chang Ming.

You can't see people when you are born, and you can't see corpses when you die.

Even that Chen Ting disappeared without a trace.

Xu Jingxian had no choice but to continue to explore the way of survival alone.

It costs a lot of money to eat and live here, and the money she had saved before will see the end, and the only way to get money quickly is to participate in the Yunding Tower competition.

Xu Jingxian didn't want to go this way.

Because it is too showy, and it is easy to attract attention and bring disaster to yourself.

She originally wanted Chang Ming to participate, but now that Chang Ming disappeared, she had to settle for the next best thing and come by herself.

The opponents in front are not difficult.

The monks can be superior to others in the outside world and look down on ordinary people, but rely on the spiritual power that ordinary people do not have.

Once they lose their spiritual power, their martial arts skills may not be able to win over ordinary people.

Xu Jingxian's martial arts are good, more than enough to deal with these people.

But her performance quickly attracted the attention of interested people.

This person is Guan Xiashang.

Guan Xiashang is well aware of the rules of the game in Tianchuicheng.

Here, spiritual power cannot be displayed. If a woman like her is not attached to strong strength, she will be reduced to a plaything to be ravaged by others.

So she disregarded the eyes of others, put down her monk's dignity, climbed up to one of the five elders in a short period of time, and became the new favorite of that elder Liu.

However, for such a new favorite, one is enough.

Guan Xiashang didn't want Xu Jingxian to be like her.

Relying on the charm of the other party's background in the evil sect, if he wanted to get the favor of the fifth elder, he would naturally have a better chance of winning than himself.

So after learning that the other party was also participating in the competition, Guan Xiashang made a small plan to encourage another master beside Elder Hou to participate in the match against Xu Jingxian.

This person thinks very highly of himself and is highly valued by Elder Hou, but there are rumors in the world that there is some unspeakable relationship between the two.

It is an open secret that Elder Hou has a habit of cutting off his sleeves. There is no woman around him, but the guards are all tall and handsome.

In the competition at Yundinglou, there is always a never-ending fight, Xu Jingxian is half-skilled, facing this person every step of the way, and finally kills the opponent.

At this time, according to the rules, Xu Jingxian should have continued to advance, competing for the final victory with another person who participated in the competition.

But how could Elder Hou, whose loved one was killed, endure it, and immediately went off in person, preparing to use Xu Jingxian to sacrifice for his lover.

In Tianchui City, the strong are respected, even if Elder Hou broke the rules, and the other elders did not speak out, what can others say?

Xu Jingxian hadn't recovered from the previous battle and was injured, so how could she fight against one of the five elders? Immediately, he was beaten back and forth, unable to fight back.

But Elder Hou not only wanted her to lose, but also her life.

The opponent's palm was sharp, like the sound of wind and thunder, and his body leaped up like a roc spreading its wings, directly blocking all the ways Xu Jingxian wanted to turn defense into offense.

In desperation, Xu Jingxian could only retreat.

But she found that the way out was already expected by the other party.

Elder Hou used a whip.

Men seldom use whips as weapons, even outside, whips are rarely used by monks, only a few women like to use whips to soften rigidity.

But the iron whip in his hand actually danced with the power of a sword. It can be as straight as a sword or as soft as satin.

However, Xu Jingxian's own gauze was broken when she first entered Jiuchongyuan. At this time, the power was halved, and she was stretched to the left and right. She was whipped behind her by the opponent, so she couldn't help but use the gauze to block it. Elder Hou slapped her chest with his palm, Xu Jingxian only heard a muffled cracking sound, and his breastbone seemed to be broken, and he also backed up and hit the pillar behind him, spitting out a big mouthful of blood.

"I figured it out!"

She was extremely angry, but her smile became more and more coquettish and soft.

"Elder Ganqinghou spent a lot of time, and he was helping the male pet to get ahead, and he was personally getting rid of it, just to take advantage of the slave's family!"

Elder Hou snorted coldly, not talking nonsense with her at all, another whip shadow came over.

With this whip, even if she won't die, at least her face will be half ruined and her skin will be torn apart.

There was no way for Xu Jingxian to hide, so she decided not to hide.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Guan Xiashang who was snuggling beside Elder Liu, and also saw the few people who formed a temporary alliance on the Rainbow Bridge before.

They all chose to stand in the crowd and stand by.

This is also normal, who would risk their lives to save an irrelevant person?

They, together with their disciples, can see death without saving them, so how can they control the demon girl?

At that moment, Xu Jingxian's heart was like still water.

She never expected someone to fall from the sky to save herself.

She hadn't had such a dream since many years ago.

only-

Chang Ming must be scolded.

If it wasn't for him, I definitely wouldn't have come to Jiuchongyuan, let alone encounter these things in front of me.

Bastard Chang Ming, I will never let you go even if I am a ghost!

The sun is very bright.

Xu Jingxian's eyes were stabbed.

She squinted.

The whip never fell.

She felt that her eyes were stung so that she was hallucinating.

Because she actually saw Changming.

The man held a long sword and landed behind Elder Hou like a **** descending.

Sword up!

The light of the sword is like a rainbow, and it is as fast as lightning.

Elder Hou felt the coercion of the collapsing mountain behind him, but before he could turn around, the sword had already landed on him.

"Well!!"

Ever since becoming the Fifth Elder, Elder Hou has become more and more pampered and has subordinates to take the lead in everything. It has been a long time since he has not had to do anything himself, let alone face a life-and-death crisis.

If it was said that Xu Jingxian was just playing with the inevitable, the deep cut on his back at this moment also aroused his murderous desire.

With a low growl, he turned around and swung his whip, jumped out of the gazebo, and took the initiative to swipe towards the opponent.

Xu Jingxian was still in shock, and finally came to her senses.

I am not dreaming, that **** has indeed returned.

She wanted to yell, but she had no strength, so she could only lean on the pillar to breathe.

Nobody cared about her.

Everyone's attention fell on the Yunding Lake outside the Yunding Building.

Chang Ming and Elder Hou are fighting on the lake.

There are many exotic flowers and plants planted on the lake, all of which are beloved by Elder Lu, among them there are even real grasses that Xu Jingxian never forgets.

Elder Lu was so distressed that he gasped, and actually lay down on the railing of the Yunding Building, loudly telling the two to fight elsewhere.

Chang Ming and Elder Hou listened but did not hear.

The toes of the two landed on the flowers and leaves, and they used their strength to float on the water from time to time. Elder Hou's long whip didn't take any advantage in Chang Ming's hands, but was restrained everywhere and lost the wind.

Those who are highly skilled in martial arts can even see that Chang Ming is not fighting Elder Hou with all his strength.

What does this mean?

It shows that Elder Hou's defeat is set, maybe a new elder will be born in Tianchui City.

Guan Xiashang did not expect that the sick man in the second layer of Yuan would have such high martial arts.

Maybe the opponent's spiritual power is not strong outside, but in this place where the spiritual power is limited, it shows an advantage.

I knew so...

If she had known this before, why would she commit herself to this old and wretched Elder Liu if she followed them?

Elder Hou was very embarrassed.

Both his front and back were injured, his feet stepped on the ground, and he fell directly into the water, but was forced by the opponent's sword wind to jump up again and flew towards the direction of Yundinglou.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be running away.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't give it to me!"

He angrily reprimanded his subordinates, and shouted for help to several other elders.

"Help me kill him, and I will give all my treasures to you!"

In Elder Hou's magic weapon collection, there are several very good treasures, and everyone was very moved after hearing this.

If Elder Hou died, this person took the magic weapon as his own and might not be willing to give it to them.

But if Elder Hou dies with this person, then everything will be theirs.

The other three looked at each other, and the elders who were about to stand by and watch, finally made a move together.

Apart from the dead Xu Fenglin, there are still four elders in Chuicheng today.

All four of them are martial arts masters.

One Elder Hou might not be able to defeat Chang Ming, but the combination of the other three is more than enough.

Chang Ming was in the middle of the lake, and he was about to face pressure from three parties.

Two long swords.

a long gun.

From when the three of them shot to when they came to Chang Ming's eyes, it took only a blink of an eye.

Both the sword and the spear are like arrows flying off the string, unstoppable.

Three people, divided into three directions.

The meteor chases the moon, and the clouds and the wind.

The three rays of light are like shooting stars in the sky, sliding towards the same place in an instant.

No matter how you look at it, Chang Ming seems unable to avoid this blow.

There is a lake below, unless you run from above.

But the three surrounded him, and the weapons formed three air curtains, which did not allow him to have any chance to escape.

Xu Jingxian knew that Changming would control objects and transform them into gods, and it was so superb that it was unpredictable.

She thought that in such a situation, the other party would definitely use a stand-in puppet to confuse everyone, and instead break out of the encirclement by surprise, and then kill the carbine.

But Chang Ming didn't.

When the three lights were within walking distance of him, he was still motionless, as if he had been frightened stupid.

The emperor was not in a hurry and the **** was in a hurry, Xu Jingxian was so anxious that his forehead was sweating.

Chang Ming didn't move.

The three weapons could not move forward by half a point.

Just a short distance away will always be a short distance away.

Elder Liu and the others changed their colors slightly, and at the same time they tried to pierce half a point forward.

A strong force also bounced back, and the three couldn't help but fly back dozens of steps, almost falling into the water.

The black long sword came out of the opponent's hand, and quickly flew towards Elder Liu!

It was the last sight he saw in his life.

Elder Liu didn't know how he died until his death.

But others saw it.

Especially the other two elders, who could see clearly that he was killed by a black long sword.

The sword casted extremely fast, so fast that it was impossible to tell the speed with the naked eye, and I felt that it had appeared in front of Elder Liu in the next moment.

A cut was made in Elder Liu's neck, and he fell back into the water.

The body sank, but the blood floated up, and soon dyed the lake around him red.

Everyone was stunned.

The other two elders were also shocked.

No one thought that Elder Liu, who was so famous and powerful in Tianchui City for several years, would die like this.

Maybe it's because he has been addicted to drinking and **** for many years, and many things are handled by his own subordinates. Others can't figure out his details, so they won't do it easily, but Chang Ming took a big advantage.

But the scene in front of them really shocked many people.

Xu Jingxian noticed that Guan Xiashang left quietly.

Seeing Elder Liu dead and the backing collapsed, the woman immediately wanted to slip away.

Xu Jingxian sneered, and rushed forward to block the other party's way.

As soon as Sha Ling came out, Guan Xiashang raised her hand subconsciously, but her sword had already been taken away by Elder Liu, and she received the white blade with her bare hands, and blood gushed out from her coquettish hum.

She staggered back and fell to the ground, but no one caught her.

Beauty in Tianchui City is just something that is readily available.

When you have power, you also have power and the beauty you want.

Guan Xiashang is Elder Liu's favorite plaything.

But, it's just a plaything.

The scene is so chaotic.

The elders went out of five and three out of five, and everyone's eagerness to move was completely unleashed.

"Kill all the elders, let's make up our own minds! Fuck the bastards!"

I don't know who yelled first, and everyone followed closely behind, all killing the remaining two elders.

Who here is born to be inferior to others, they are all monks with some ability and reputation outside, otherwise, who would dare to come to Jiuchongyuan?

It's just that Tianchui City restricts spiritual power, and most people's skills are not as good as others, so they can only swallow their anger and let the five elders drive and exploit them, and they have been dissatisfied for a long time.

Now that Chang Ming appeared, the elder who was killed on the spot was like a fuse, completely igniting the tyrannical depression hidden in everyone's heart.

Lu was shocked.

No matter how good his martial arts are, he still can't resist so many people encircling him.

"Ning Han, you should think of a way!"

Elder Lu shouted at his companions.

People make money and birds die for food. No matter how loyal his subordinates were in the past, in the face of the temptation of huge interests, only Ning Han, who is also an elder, can be relied on.

But Ning Han turned around and ran away without saying a word, and the rest of Elder Lu fell into the sea of ​​people full of hatred.

Facing the red eyes, he knew that he would not be able to escape today.

Guan Xiashang was lying on the ground, Xu Jingxian didn't care about her life any more, her eyes fell on the lake.

Many rare plants and trees planted by Elder Lu were completely destroyed by a fight, but the plant that was suspected to be a true grass shone brightly above the water.

Many people didn't know that the treasure was right in front of them, and most of them focused their attention on the elders, and some had already heard the news and rushed to the mansion of the five elders, hoping to find some treasures from it.

Xu Jingxian looked around, feeling overjoyed, couldn't bear it any longer, got up and flew towards the center of the lake.

In the sun, real grass looks very low-key.

But when I looked closely, I found that there were strands of golden threads on its grass leaves, just like heavenly embroidery.

These golden threads seem to form a graceful pattern, which looks like stars in the sky, layer by layer, and the swirl pattern makes people involuntarily addicted.

Xu Jingxian's arm was grabbed by someone before she came back to her senses.

She found that her body had sunk into the water, and without realizing it, she almost drowned.

The moment she regained consciousness, water poured in from her mouth, nose, eyes and ears, and she was dragged out of the water, coughing endlessly.

"That thing..."

"It is indeed raising real grass." Chang Ming said. "This thing is good at confusing the mind and mind. Those who want to grow real grass must have a strong will, and you almost got the way just now."

Then Xu Jingxian did something.

Without saying a word, she stuffed the whole plant of Yangzhen grass into her mouth, then puffed up her cheeks and chewed desperately, trying to swallow it down a few times.

Chang Ming:? !

Even though he had seen so many worlds, he was also shocked by Xu Jingxian's behavior, which was hard to describe in words.

"This thing is to be refined into a pill, so you just..."

Swallowed? !

Xu Jingxian: "Will you die if you eat it like this?"

Chang Ming: "...I haven't heard of it yet."

In the main records, there are almost no people who can really get real grass.

Such a plant, born in the Nine Layers Abyss, was not planted by Elder Lu, but was formed by the spiritual energy of Wanshen Mountain.

It's just that everyone is ignorant, Elder Lu loves to grow plants, and only regards them as rare flowers and plants. After all, spiritual power cannot be used here, and many people have never thought that it is a treasure that can greatly improve the cultivation base.

Xu Jingxian took it for granted: "The night is long and the dream is full of dreams. No one can take it away. For this real plant, my old lady almost lost her life. And you!"

She was about to scold Chang Ming for abandoning her and disappearing, when she remembered how the other party used his sword to kill Elder Liu just now, she suddenly smiled, leaned forward and kissed Chang Ming.

Chang Ming subconsciously wanted to avoid it. There was resistance in the water, and his reaction was a bit slow, and his cheeks were barely brushed by the red lips.

"Ming Lang came to rescue him, he must have a deep affection for the slave family, and it is difficult to let go, why don't we use the sky as a matchmaker, use the water as a bed, and do the good things directly!"

She was talking nonsense, and her hands really started to pull the collar.

Chang Ming smiled, showing no signs of embarrassment.

"Don't you realize how hot you are right now?"

Why didn't Xu Jingxian find out?

After she swallowed the real herb, her throat and viscera were instantly cold and then hot, like when she was burning with desire, no matter how hard she tried to endure, her mouth was dry and her face turned red.

Xu Jingxian wanted to cry but had no tears.

"what happened!"

"Stupid."

Chang Ming let her calm down in the water, jumped onto the shore, and looked into the distance.

Huoshaoyun is depicting the last ray of the setting sun with a strong gesture.

Those vultures are about to come out.

It should be almost the same over the sea of ​​clouds.

Just thinking about this, the ground began to shake.

This shaking quickly intensified, and gradually evolved to the ground cracking.

Some were caught off guard and fell into the crack.

The Tianchui City, which was originally surrounded by flames, became more and more panic-stricken.

The sky here is about to change.

The author has something to say:

Small theater unrelated to the main text:

Yunhai: Why is your face a little red?

Chang Ming: (stretches out his hand to wipe it off) Oh, Xu Jingxian rubbed it just now.

Yunhai: What?

Chang Ming: (not taking it seriously) She kissed me.

Yun Hai turned around to wipe off the lip balm, leaned forward, and took a deep sip at the spot just now.

Yunhai: Huh? Accidentally slipped and touched you?

Changming: …
