Chapter 145 Red Moon Relics
Chapter 145 Red Moon Relics
Xu Mansion.
Fa Yue came hurriedly.
Xu Qing knew something was wrong when he saw his expression, and sighed, "Maybe something happened to Abbot Yankong?"
Fa Yue nodded: "Xu Jieyuan has already guessed it, please follow me up the mountain quickly."
Xu Qing turned to Feng Wu and said, "Come with me."
Feng Wu is a master in the art of manifesting his spirit and his combat power is even greater than that of Fa Yue.
What's more, he left Feng Wu alone, and it was hard to predict whether Yan Kong, who was in trouble, would come to Xu's house.
Xu Qing called for a horse, and he and Feng Wu rode the Fire Cloud Horse together.
On the way, Xu Qing took off his peach wood sword and gave it to Feng Wu.
Feng Wu had played with this sword before, and Feng Wu had his aura on him. As a master of manifestation, although he had never practiced the peach wood sword, he could still drive it like any other magic weapon.
But he is not as familiar with it as Xu Qing, who can do it with ease.
"Don't worry about me. Because your spirit is strong, controlling this sword to sweep the formation will actually help me more." Xu Qing had already thought it through on the way.
If something goes wrong with Yan Kong, then to deal with him, remember not to multitask and try to defeat him by relying on complicated and clever means.
Because when dealing with a truly powerful master, the more complicated it is, the easier it is to run into problems.
For example, in Jin Yong's novels, no matter how magical the changes of the Falling Flowers Sword Palm are, and how real and fake they are, it is still not as good as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
Xu Qing had already anticipated what would happen to Yan Kong.
So when things happened, he didn't feel panicked.
At the same time, Xu Qing's heartbeat was slower than usual, and with the Fire Cloud Horse to save energy for climbing the mountain, Xu Qing kept adjusting his state of mind, making sure to reach the best state he could when climbing the mountain.
After entering Jinguang Temple, Xu Qing did not go to the abbot's meditation room, but went straight to the relic pagoda.
On the way, he saw several monks lying on the ground, their blood and energy were weak, but they were still breathing faintly.
It seems that some of his energy and blood have been sucked away, but his life is fine.
Seeing this, Xu Qing knew that things were more complicated than he had imagined.
Yan Kong's behavior should not be completely out of control, otherwise there should be a corpse on the ground.
Completely out of control, but to be expected.
This semi-demonized state might still retain human rationality and control over Xu Qing's information.
Even though his Golden Light Spell could theoretically restrain Yan Kong, the outcome was still difficult to predict in actual combat.
What hurt Xu Qing the most was that if Yan Kong became possessed by a demon, he would lose an extremely important assistant.
This cannot be compensated even if Feng Wu's soul reaches the level of visibility.
His foundation is still too weak.
Feng Wu followed closely behind Xu Qing.
Xu Qing did not use his full strength to display his skills, but instead kept adjusting his own breath and releasing his perception.
There was chaos and noise in many places in Jinguang Temple, but in the direction of the relic pagoda, there was silence.
This is enough to show that Yankong has arrived at the relic pagoda.
Things went wrong faster than he imagined.
Xu Qing couldn't blame Fa Yue for reporting the news too late, because Yan Kong's condition deteriorated so quickly that even Yan Kong himself was caught off guard.
And all this happened during Xu Qing's wedding, the busiest days.
This gave Xu Qing a deeper understanding of the evil nature in Yan Kong.
Obviously Yan Kong himself underestimated the horror of the devil.
Arriving not far from the relic pagoda, Xu Qing stopped quietly.
Feng Wu and Fa Yue quickly followed.
However, Feng Wu's breathing was visibly affected. After all, her martial arts were still far behind Xu Qing. Fa Yue, on the contrary, had made considerable progress in her martial arts recently, but she still had not found the key to training the internal organs, and her spiritual cultivation was not as good as Feng Wu's current one.
This is also the best helper Xu Qing can find at the moment.
A fierce and evil aura emerged from the pagoda, and a monster walked out of the small door at the bottom of the pagoda.
This monster is like a dog, with a strong body, almost the same as a lion, a fierce breath, golden hair, and a smell of death.
There is no doubt that this is the evil demon suppressed in the pagoda.
The original form turned out to be like this.
On the top of the pagoda, a handsome and evil red-haired man was looking down at Xu Qing and the others, with a strange quality in his unrestrained manner.
"Are you Abbot Yankong, or the reincarnation of Zen Master Hongyue?"
He did not ask the evil red-haired man whether he was the incarnation of the golden-haired monster, because the golden-haired monster was obviously afraid of the evil man, but the two were not in a master-servant relationship.
"Xu Gongming, given your caution, you actually found me so quickly. It really surprised me." His tone was exceptionally calm, without any hint of madness.
Xu Qing's heart sank. This guy's rationality was beyond his expectations, and would make the upcoming battle more difficult.
He said calmly, "If you must make things difficult for me, now is my best chance, so it is best for me to come now."
"Well, you are indeed Xu Gongming."
"Master." Fa Yue said loudly.
The red-haired man looked at Fa Yue and smiled, "Good disciple, you are not indecisive at all this time. Your master is very pleased."
When Fa Yue heard the conversation, instead of feeling happy, she was horrified. “You are not my master.”
The red-haired man sighed, "Fayue, do you really have to ask me to tell you how old you were when you wet the bed, and how old you were when you learned to peek at beautiful female Bodhisattvas?"
Fa Yue was horrified and shaken. Could it really be his master? The thought made him even more frightened.
"Be careful." Just when Fa Yue's mind was wavering, Xu Qing reminded him with a thunderous voice.
At this moment, Fa Yue's eyes blurred, and the red-haired man came about ten feet away from Fa Yue and grabbed Fa Yue's face with both hands.
The speed of this attack was so fast and the moves were so strange that Fa Yue was completely unable to react.
boom!
A tiger roar was heard.
Five Tigers Breaking Door Sword!
Xu Qing used the feathered sword that was as thin as a cicada's wing to perform the Five Tigers Breaking Door Sword Technique. He made it seem as if it were heavy, and the sound of a tiger's roar was loud.
In an instant, Xu Qing had already slashed thirteen times.
The knife moves with ferocious force and fierceness, like a bolt of lightning, and each blow goes straight to the red-haired man's vital points.
However, when Xu Qing chopped at the opponent's clothes, the feathered sword that could cut hair with a single blow was not affected at all and was slipped away by the opponent's energy.
Even Xu Qing had to admit that he was inferior to him in the application of Hua Jin.
Red moon?
Vajra body protection magic?
Xu Qing's mind flashed through his mind.
At the same time, he passed by the red-haired man and the direction of the knife was the golden-haired monster.
The monster had no idea that Xu Qing's target was actually it.
Before it could react, it let out a wail.
It turned out that Feng Wu and Xu Qing were in sync with each other and knew that if they let the red-haired man and the golden-haired monster join forces, they would have little chance of winning today.
Instead of fighting with the red-haired man, it is better to take the initiative and deal with the golden-haired monster.
The Peach God Sword is a magical weapon made of wood struck by lightning. At this moment, under the urging of Feng Wu's spiritual power at the manifestation level, it pierced the opponent's forehead.
The golden-haired monster wailed.
The four great demons appeared at the same time and rushed towards the golden-haired monster to bite it.
It groaned in pain, but before it could resist, Xu Qing's knife had already hit its neck.
Sparks flew everywhere.
The golden-haired monster was not beheaded by Xu Qing. Instead, a long wound appeared on its neck and red mist spewed out. It ran outside in agony, leaving the red-haired man behind.
In Xu Qing's attack just now, he had used the blood energy of the Golden Light Curse, plus the bombardment of the four demon gods. The golden-haired monster had just escaped and was at its weakest. Even if it escaped at this moment, its combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced, so it was not a threat.
On the other hand, the red-haired man had already reacted and grabbed Xu Qing's back.
The four great demons appeared at the same time, on the verge of losing control, but under Xu Qing's strong control of his mind, they blocked the red-haired man's grab for him.
Among the four great demons, King Kong was the first to be shattered, and the other three demons were also destroyed like a whirlwind.
But it did help to stop the red-haired man.
"What a great method of visualizing the five great demon gods!" the red-haired man exclaimed.
The destruction of the four great demons actually solved Xu Qing's problem of risking losing control if he visualized the four great demons at the same time.
This was also a helpless move on his part.
As the four great demons were shattered, Xu Qing's soul felt slightly weakened.
Fortunately, he had already put a Seven Flower Ginseng Dew Pill in his mouth. Under the thunder sound, he digested the drug effect, but did not continue to fight with the red-haired man. Instead, he took Feng Wu's hand and whispered, "Let's go!"
In a short period of time, Xu Qing had already tested the opponent's strength, which was definitely beyond his ability to deal with now.
"Xu Gongming, are you leaving now?" the red-haired man asked with a smile.
As Fa Yue, who was watching nearby, saw several masters appearing on the straight line between the master and Xu Qing.
Fa Yue knew that this was the afterimage caused by his master's speed.
At this moment, the speed of the red-haired man even exceeded the limit of the masters at the Lianzang level.
Xu Qing suddenly stopped.
Point backhand.
He seemed to have expected that the red-haired man would catch up with him.
The red-haired man stretched out his hand and grabbed it, which was faster than one could imagine, so it was naturally difficult for him to change his moves.
Just in time to meet Xu Qing's backhand finger.
"Innate Finger!" The red-haired man's eyes were filled with horror, and a thought flashed through his mind.
It goes without saying how terrifying the Xiantian finger force is.
A hole immediately appeared on the red-haired man's palm.
This finger seemed to be able to pierce through a solid wall.
The red-haired man's other hand was used to block the flying peach wood sword.
Because of this delay, his innate finger strength took effect and his internal organs felt like they were burning.
He was well aware of the horror of this finger, so he stopped and struck the ground with his palm.
There was a smell of burning fire on the ground.
At this moment, Feng Wu had already pulled Xu Qing and threw out a pitch-black bullet, which emitted billowing black smoke and blocked the red-haired man's sight.
Feng Wu burst out his energy and blood to the extreme, performed the Bagua Step, and pulled Xu Qing, who was temporarily in an extremely weak period, away from Jinguang Temple.
She pulled Xu Qing up and climbed onto the Fire Cloud Horse.
"Go home." Xu Qing sighed.
As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of blood, but his complexion improved greatly.
Huoyun Horse heard the master's order and quickly went down the mountain.
Inside the Jinguang Temple, a strange sound came from the red-haired man, and then he kept wandering around the temple. Soon, several monks fell to the ground.
He sucked the monk's blood and energy, then turned into a red shadow and chased down the mountain.
"Don't worry, you'll be safe when you get home." Xu Qing had already thought of a plan to deal with the situation.
If his innate finger cannot defeat the opponent, then he can only lure the opponent back to Wutong Courtyard for a decisive battle.
This was also the best opportunity. If he could not consciously lead the other party back to Wutong Courtyard, then he would live in fear for the rest of his life and would not be able to leave Wutong Courtyard, which would be a heavy blow to his career.
This is why he insisted on going up the mountain.
Taking the initiative is the best defense.
Moreover, the injuries caused by Xiantian fingers cannot be recovered in a short period of time even if the opponent uses evil methods.
On the other hand, after seeing the Innate Finger, the red-haired man's fear of Xu Qing must have reached an unprecedented level.
Golden Light Mantra, Xiantian Finger...
All these things are in Xu Qing's body. If Xu Qing is allowed to grow, the other party will also be unable to sleep or eat.
If the other party does not chase him down the mountain, Xu Qing can only continue to endure in Wutong Courtyard until his strength makes great progress.
Because he kept the old phoenix tree as a trump card, even though Xu Qing had just used the Innate Finger, he was unable to fully unleash the energy and blood of the Golden Light Curse, nor did he expose Xuantian's visualization method.
After all, if he did that, he would no longer be able to fight in a short period of time.
After all, the Xiantian Finger is already his most powerful killing move outside the Wutong Courtyard.
If you can't defeat the opponent with the innate finger, even if you have just used all your trump cards, it will not change the result.
The Fire Cloud Horse was galloping at full speed.
Xu Qing seized the opportunity and used thunder sound to digest the medicinal power of the Seven Flower Ginseng Dew Pill.
After arriving at the Xu Mansion, Xu Qing's condition had recovered to a large extent.
Xu Qing and Feng Wu quickly returned to the Wutong Courtyard and took the peach wood sword from Feng Wu.
"Will he come after us again?" Feng Wu looked worried.
After Xu Qing arrived at Wutong Courtyard, he looked extremely calm and said, "I was just worried that he wouldn't come."
As he spoke, his voice was still thunderous, and it was obvious that he was racing against time to regulate his breathing.
Feng Wu said no more, thinking, no matter how scary that man was, the couple were together today anyway.
She felt at peace.
Xu Qing closed his eyes and rested. After a while, he felt a terrible breath rushing into the yard.
A red-haired man quietly appeared on the wall of Wutong Courtyard.
“Xu Gongming, if you get rid of the golden light curse on your body, I will no longer make things difficult for you. I can even help you do three things within my ability.” The red-haired man’s voice echoed in the Wutong courtyard, full of sincerity.
Xu Qing sneered. Without the innate qi of the Golden Light Curse, he could not use the innate finger.
Even if the red-haired man was sincere, Xu Qing would not be fooled.
"Master Yankong, the sea of suffering is boundless, it is time to turn back." Xu Qing said in a thundering voice.
The red-haired man didn't expect Xu Qing to recover so quickly. It can be said that Xu Qing's recovery speed from this injury is no worse than his Qi and Blood Transfer Technique.
In fact, he still found it difficult to kill Xu Qing, because the part of Yankong in his body still occupied a lot of his self, and the appearance of the Xiantian Finger further touched upon his inner weakness.
"I am Lingshan, there is no need to look back." The red-haired man smiled casually.
But the smile stopped abruptly.
Because the peach wood sword appeared.
"Brilliant Heavenly Power!"
What the red-haired man didn't expect was that the appearance of the peach wood sword actually triggered the thunder power inside it, giving rise to an unstoppable sword evil.
"How is this possible!" the red-haired man was horrified.
The terrifying Thunder Sword Evil does not follow any reason.
The tremendous sense of oppression brought by the sword and the seemingly endless terrifying spiritual power made the red-haired man in a trance, thinking that the void in front of him was collapsing.
At the same time, a powerful Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva appeared. He stepped on a golden dragon and a white elephant, but it was still of no avail.
The sword power of this sword was so powerful that it could break the sky and cause mountains to collapse and seas to tsunami.
Rumble!
The sword aura of the Peach God Sword produced an incomparably thick lightning that filled the entire Wutong Courtyard.
Accompanied by the extremely loud thunder and the terrifying force of the explosion, the visible form of the Great and Powerful Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva was directly destroyed.
The red-haired man spurted blood and his body was pierced by the peach wood sword.
At this moment, a golden-haired monster appeared and took the red-haired man away.
At the same time, the red-haired man flicked his finger, and a relic glowing red hit the trunk of the old phoenix tree and was embedded in it.
Xu Qing originally wanted to continue chasing and killing, but he didn't expect that the soul of the old Wutong tree was shaken, and even he was affected by the backlash.
Xu Qing quickly severed his spiritual connection with the old Wutong tree and could no longer control that terrifying spiritual power. At the same time.
He has a terrible headache.
The Purple Star shone brightly, and Xuantian's visualization method began to repair the injuries of his soul.
Half a minute later, Xu Qing's headache stopped. As for his soul, it would take some time to recover.
He came under the old phoenix tree.
The relic was scarlet, like an eye embedded in the trunk of the old phoenix tree, calming the soul of the old phoenix tree.
"Are you okay?" Feng Wu came over.
"It's okay, but it's a pity that he still got away." Xu Qing knew that the sword just now must have caused an almost fatal blow to the red-haired man, what a pity.
If it weren’t for this red moon relic.
Xu Qing's palm glowed with golden light as he grabbed the red moon relic in the tree trunk.
Under the power of the Golden Light Spell, the Red Moon Relic actually began to emit a terrifying golden energy, wrapping the scarlet color of the relic and making it no longer so terrifying.
At the same time, the suppressed soul of the old Wutong tree was also freed from its restraints.
"There are indeed a lot of residual power of the Golden Light Mantra in this relic." Xu Qing could even feel that in addition to the terrible evil spirit, the relic also contained pure essence of heaven and earth.
That is the purest vital energy between heaven and earth.
However, the essence inside must have been refined a lot by the red-haired man. Even so, the remaining essence of heaven and earth still makes practitioners of his level excited.
“No wonder Yan Kong couldn’t help but refine the Red Moon Relics. If all of them could be refined, the benefits would be unimaginable.”
However, the evil spirit within the relics is equally frightening.
"Once I can cultivate the thunder magic with the Golden Light Spell, I won't have to worry about the evil energy inside. I can even crush the evil energy and absorb the essence of heaven and earth inside." Xu Qing thought to himself.
It can be seen that he almost forced the red-haired man into a desperate situation just now, forcing him to throw out the Red Moon Relic and suppress the soul of the old Wutong tree to stop Xu Qing's killing.
Xu Qing said: "He suffered a truly fatal blow this time. He won't bother me again in the short term. What a pity, what a pity..."
Xu Qing knew that the other party was like the reincarnation of the Red Moon.
It was amazing that he could use the old phoenix tree to force the opponent into a desperate situation.
But the red moon is still the red moon.
I hope this attack can give Yan Kong more time.
Xu Qing clearly noticed that Yan Kong's ego was still preserved and he was fighting against the red-haired man. This was also the reason why the red-haired man did not immediately realize how terrifying the old Wutong tree was.
It was also because the red-haired man was unable to use his full strength in Jinguang Temple before.
Xu Qing had previously roared out the words "the sea of suffering is boundless" in a thunderous voice, and through the red-haired man's reaction, he also confirmed the existence of that part of Yan Kong's self.
"Old monk, for your own sake and for the sake of your descendants, you must work hard to become stronger." Xu Qing could only give Yan Kong sincere encouragement.
Next, Feng Wu took out a jade box with a Taoist talisman of tranquility and nature on it.
"This is a demon-sealing talisman made by the temple master. It should work."
Xu Qing nodded, put the Red Moon Relic into the jade box, and then asked Feng Wu to suppress the jade box with a demon-sealing talisman.
"It's a good thing I had your help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to scare away the red-haired monster so easily this time." Xu Qing sighed.
The biggest advantage of having helpers around you is that it increases your tolerance for mistakes, allowing you to make bolder attempts and respond better to the enemy.
If you fight alone, the margin for error is too low.
Moreover, Feng Wu's demon-sealing talisman also saved Xu Qing from the worry of how to store the Red Moon Relic.
The master of Chaotian Temple is one of the top spiritual masters in the world. His cultivation is even higher than that of the leader of Luo Sect and is catching up with Elder Fang.
The effect of the demon-sealing talisman he made is self-evident.
As for why the Chaotian Temple Master was so kind to Feng Wu, Xu Qing also knew the reason, because he was Feng Wu's mother's great uncle...
This guy Lao Feng is really a top-notch gigolo!
How could I pry away my mother-in-law, a lady from a top aristocratic family?
Xu Qing secretly complained.
However, living off gigolos is a standard feature of those who achieve great things.
For example, if Xiu'er had not married Guo Shengtong, she would not have enjoyed the glory that she enjoyed later.
And Wei Zifu brought the highest dowry in history, the twin pillars of the empire.
The old father-in-law is really amazing. Not only does he live off his wife's family, he also relies on his son-in-law to get promoted!
It’s just that!
Xu Qing secretly criticized his father-in-law, and then, with his wife's protection, he began to heal his wounds. Not long after, Xu Qing opened his eyes.
It’s not that his injuries have fully recovered, but that Fa Yue chased him down the mountain.
Xu Qing and his wife met Fa Yue and were both sad.
"Oh, Master Yankong is alone..." Xu Qing felt really sad.
However, Fayue was safe and sound, and mentioned that the monks who fell in the temple were all weak and had no fatal injuries. This was enough to show that the red-haired man was not completely possessed by the devil and became completely inhuman.
Fa Yue smiled bitterly and said, "I used to be eager to take over the Jinguang Temple as soon as possible, but I didn't expect it to be done in this way."
Xu Qing: "Life is unpredictable, and life is like the changing of times. Master Fayue, don't be sentimental. The responsibility of Jinguang Temple will be in your hands. I will fully support you."
Fa Yue: "It's just that I'm worried about that red-haired man. He's always a hidden danger. And I don't know if my master can be saved."
He sighed repeatedly as he said this.
Xu Qing: "I don't think anything will happen in the short term. I will go out to sea after I recover from my injuries. If everything goes well, there may be a turnaround for Master's matter."
"Thank you very much, Xu Jieyuan." Fa Yue bowed deeply.
Xu Qing nodded. "I will go out to sea later. Master Fayue, please help me keep an eye on the affairs of Tianji Academy and Fushe. It will take at least half a year for Yan Weizhong and Mr. Xie to come back."
Xu Qing had connections with the Ministry of Personnel, so as long as they passed the imperial examination, it would not be difficult for them to skip the usual procedures of observing politics and preparing for the imperial examination.
After all, during the reform period, many things could be handled specially, depending on whether you had any connections.
Therefore, reform is also an opportunity for many officials to receive extraordinary promotions.
For this reason, it is not surprising that people falsify their political achievements.
Xu Qing couldn't care less and could only take advantage of the situation.
He hoped that this time he went out to sea, he would be able to successfully retrieve the Xuantian treasure house, thus making his foundation more solid.
After Xu Qing and Fa Yue discussed for a while, they saw the guests off and returned to the house.
Feng Wu said, "You should take care of your wounds for the next few days. I will help you with the academy affairs. I have already read the general proposal, and nothing will go wrong. In addition, what are your plans for the orphans adopted by Yihetang?"
Xu Qing: "I plan to establish the Youth Iron Blood Society first, and then select the outstanding ones to join the Fushe Society and pursue a career in government. As for the others who are not good at literature and morality, I will make other arrangements."
Feng Wu nodded: "I will take care of these orphans for you on weekdays."
The Empress of our dynasty's Taizu adopted many orphans for Emperor Taizu, and later many of these orphans became Taizu's helpers.
When Xu Qing does big things, Feng Wu has to take care of the details behind the scenes.
Insight into world affairs is knowledge, and human feelings are learned.
A cultivator is one who practices Taoism.
To walk is to be in the midst of worldly affairs.
