Chapter 152 Death!
Chapter 152 Death!
He was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, how do we figure out what it is first?"
"First, think about whether it is a human." Jiang Jie thought for a while and said, "I don't think it is a human. According to the means you mentioned, it is very easy for something this powerful to communicate with you. It can let you understand its meaning through dreams or possession, without asking you to guess."
"Is it trying to make me think it's mysterious?"
Jiang Jie smiled: "Only the weak would pretend to be mysterious. With the means it has shown so far, it doesn't need to do that."
"So I have an idea—"
"In this world, people have only known etiquette, education, and cultivation methods for more than 3,000 years, and no one has figured out what the world is really like. Humanity is now flourishing in the Central Continent, but across the Silent Sea is the Eastern Continent, across the Chuliao Sea is the Western Continent, and to the north, across the Ice Sea is the four Arctic states. There are demons in these places, all of which have learned the Taoist methods of the Central Continent and cultivated themselves slowly, so there should be many powerful people."
"Spiritual Mountain should have existed in the world originally. But after the thirty-seven True Immortals and eight Golden Immortals were created in the Central Continent, and a great war took place, Spiritual Mountain has become completely different from before. Many things from other places should have gradually entered Spiritual Mountain. This thing on you may not be a human."
"In the Central Continent, although the six sects are hostile to our sect, they are also suppressing the demonic luck. Therefore, there will be no demons with this level of power in the Central Continent. It is possible that they are outside the Central Continent."
"So if it is a demon from outside the Central Continent, because it does not understand human nature, it may be like the thing in your body. It gives you a feeling first, and you feel that it is mysterious and unpredictable, and it is also learning from you. After learning for a few days, when it talks to you, it also asks you to talk to yourself. After it has learned this, it will possess you."
Li Wuxiang thought about what he said and said, "Brother, but - when I was in the lower world, the situation was almost exactly the same as when Zhao Kui was refining Taiyi. That thing used the word "Long Live" to make me an emperor, and then it came to me, right?"
Jiang Jie was stunned: "Oh, you don't know this yet. It's not your fault, you haven't been here for long. This is what happened-"
"The rules and destiny controlled by the six emperors of the six sects are all born with the heaven and earth, but the destiny of humanity is different. Everything we are accustomed to now, weddings and funerals, human etiquette, and human customs, were set by Donghuang Taiyi. Therefore, it can be said that Donghuang Taiyi created another kind of rules and destiny in this world with his own power."
"In Central China and outside the diocese, we call this kind of destiny 'humanity'. But in fact, it should be called the kingly way and the hegemonic way. When people talk about these two words, they think that the hegemonic way is slightly inferior to the kingly way, but in fact, the kingly way refers to the great way of the human world in Central China. And the hegemonic way is the real name of this kind of destiny - Donghuang Taiyi dominates Central China, and the kingly way of Central China dominates the world. This is Taiyi's destiny, not just limited to the human way."
"So you think that the method of refining Taiyi is not to refine Taiyi, but to cultivate tyranny. The one in the right position is not the 'emperor', but the 'lord', and the ones below are not the 'officials', but the 'ministers'. If the thing in you wants to get your hands on the East Emperor Seal, you need tyranny. In other words, the East Emperor Seal is not only for Taiyi, but anyone with this tyrannical spirit, whether a human or a demon, can get it."
“So, when something possesses the power of tyranny, it will look like Taiyi in the Holy Mountain—because Taiyi is the embodiment of tyranny.”
Li Wuxiang felt that he understood.
"So, if it's not a human, then we can find it out." Jiang Jie looked at Li Wuxiang. "There are three types of human souls: heavenly soul, earthly soul, and human soul. For example, you are a heavenly soul, and now you work for the sect, and you go to the True Form Sect and change your name to Li Wu. Then this Li Wu is a human soul. The True Form Sect is the present world. When you have done your work, that is, you die in this world, then you return to the sect and become Li Wuxiang again, that is, a heavenly soul."
"And all the things you did in the True Form Sect were recorded in a book and sent back. This book is the Earth Soul - it records all the experiences of a person's heavenly soul when they come to this world. After death, they will go to the netherworld. If that thing is not a person, then it cannot be found in the netherworld. I have Taiyi Qiyun in me, so I can also interfere with the netherworld a little. I can find out in a day or two."
Then there is only one last question - Jiang Jie said that at this moment no one else in the world can hear the conversation between the two, but he also can't hear the "Fubing" and "Li Ke" he mentioned. Maybe the external evil is far more powerful than he thought.
but……
Many things always involve risk. In fact, letting the external evil stay in one's body is also a risk. Now the choice is, bet on the external evil or bet on Jiang Jie.
Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment: "Brother Jiang, if the external evil has achieved the tyrannical rules, can it interfere with reincarnation?"
"That's not the case. Reincarnation was once presided over by two great emperors, one was Donghuang Taiyi, and the other was Netherworld Earth Mother. After Taiyi was suppressed, this matter was only handled by Earth Mother. You ask this -"
Li Wuxiang felt it, but there was nothing strange in his mind at the moment, so he lowered his voice a little and used short sentences, thinking that this seemed to be more cautious: "I said a few words just now and mentioned two names, but you didn't hear it, brother. Li Ke - now I mentioned this name again."
Jiang Jie looked at him and slowly frowned: "What's the name?"
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Li Wuxiang looked him in the eyes and said, "Brother Jiang, there was a disciple in Youjiuyuan. This disciple told me about Wansui yesterday and took me to the lower world to find Wansui. Can you hear me?"
Jiang Jie's expression became serious: "Yes. Go on, don't worry."
"That disciple died in the lower world, and the evil spirit used his flesh, blood, and essence..." Li Wuxiang felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had become a living person. But he gritted his teeth and said, "He used these to come to me, but when I came back, this person disappeared... No one... remembered... him... I mentioned his name a few times just now, and you... also..."
Jiang Jie took a breath slowly, frowned, as if he was thinking hard: "What is this person's name?"
"..." Li Wuxiang opened his mouth, but he seemed to have lost his voice suddenly. He could only squeeze out a little airflow, but could not make any sound. So he used his Dan power to infuse his whole body, and finally squeezed out a word with all his strength, "Li——"
"--gram!"
Click.
Crack.
Li Wuxiang heard a tiny sound, as if something thin and brittle was breaking beside him. Then he felt a slight breeze and a slight warmth.
The pressure on his body that made him almost speechless suddenly disappeared. He was not a human and did not need to breathe, but now he took a deep breath like a drowning person suddenly floating to the surface.
That thing really can't do anything to Jiang Jie! ?
He said it!
Jiang Jie heard it!
Li Wuxiang immediately went to see Jiang Jie——
He stood there with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly, so Li Wuxiang waited patiently for a while.
But then he began to smell a bad smell, like a person who had sweated a lot but had kept it all in his clothes and fermented for several days, smelling extremely sour.
Then he saw that the moon-white Taoist robe on Jiang Jie seemed to have become a little dull, as if it had been worn out in an instant, and was slightly stained with light yellow stains.
Next was Jiang Jie's face. His face began to sag, the corners of his eyes and cheeks slowly drooped, and he seemed to have turned into an old man... His black hair began to turn pale, and then the strands broke, and the purple gold crown on his head tilted to the side and fell to the ground with a thud, and then his head of white hair was scattered.
Li Wuxiang took a step back suddenly: "Senior Brother Jiang!?"
Jiang Jie looked at him, but he seemed to be looking at something behind him. He seemed to want to take a step forward, but gave up, and then slowly sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly exhaled.
The courtyard was silent, with only the breeze blowing.
After a dozen breaths, Li Wuxiang walked up to Jiang Jie, put his trembling fingers on his neck, and then took them back.
Jiang Jie is dead.
Li Wuxiang took two steps back and stood there for two breaths. He felt that he could feel his body getting cold, although he was definitely not. He was a Qing Nang Immortal and had formed a pill. Even if he was a living person, he would be immune to cold and heat. How could he feel cold?
But he didn't know how long he could continue to be a Qingnang Immortal in the Jindan realm, and he didn't know whether he could leave Dadong Peak alive!
A bunch of swordsmen were waiting outside, waiting for Jiang Jie to tell them something that he couldn't tell them, but now, Jiang Jie was dead!
External evil!
Fuck your ancestors!
Li Wuxiang walked lightly behind the screen wall of the courtyard and leaned sideways to listen to the sounds coming from the front hall.
The people in front were still talking, but they started talking about how to deal with the possible surprise attack from the Six Sects of Mystery in the near future. Most of the talk was done by Cui Jianzhu, and Mei Zhangjian didn't hear anyone speak.
After coming into this world, he rarely felt this way in his heart - guilt!
He could imagine what Mei Zhangjian was doing now - standing in the hall, refusing to sit down, waiting for him and Jiang Jie to come to a conclusion, and then returning to her seat to let these people in the sect know that she had not misjudged him, and she was not wrong this time!
I have really hurt her badly this time. She said before that if she made a mistake again this time, she would not be worthy of staying in Youjiuyuan, being the palm sword, or having such cultivation... You evil outsider, fuck your ancestors!
Li Wuxiang walked back to Jiang Jie and looked at him for a while.
But he could sense the aura of death. He couldn't explain it, but he knew that the corpse in front of him was no longer alive, without a single breath of life... A Yang God, a land sword immortal, was gone just like that! ?
Li Wuxiang released the flying sword, which hung on the stone slab for a moment before slashing down -
"It wasn't me."
After thinking for a while, he left a few more words - "Li Wuxiangliu".
He wanted to carve a few more words, but knew it was completely meaningless.
So he walked to the wall and jumped quickly. There was a cliff outside the wall, and there was no one there. Li Wuxiang pressed himself very thin, and like a piece of paper, he flipped over the wall and slid into the lush forest on the cliff.
What methods did the evil spirit use to kill a land-based swordsman so silently in You Jiu Yuan! ?
He didn't dare to make any big movements, and just leaped down following the momentum of the trees being blown by the wind to avoid attracting attention.
If the external evil had asked him to come to You Jiu Yuan just to trigger the Dong Huang Seal, expose You Jiu Yuan's location, and attract the Six Sects of Xuan Sect to attack... then it could have killed Jiang Jie directly, so why didn't it just kill all the swordsmen! ?
He passed through the mist on the hillside of Dadong Peak and saw a path winding through the forest. It must have been a long time since anyone had walked on it, and the path was covered with weeds. But he didn't dare to walk that way, and continued to jump down through the forest.
Jiang Jie said that only the Netherworld Mother is in charge of reincarnation now... Is this foreign evil the Netherworld Mother?!
When it first appeared, the feeling it gave me was pale, huge, and empty... It was indeed very similar to the huge thing outside the Nether Nine Abyss...
But, still, why! ?
Li Wuxiang finally jumped to the foot of the mountain. He raised his head and looked upwards - there was no movement at the top of Dadong Peak. It should still feel that he and Jiang Jie were talking behind them.
Li Wuxiang landed on the ground and began to walk on the grass slope. Not too fast, not too slow - after walking a dozen steps up a gentle slope, he saw three people walking towards him. He wanted to dodge immediately, but one of the three people in the distance called out: "Junior Brother Li!"
Li Wuxiang stopped and took a closer look at the three people - Lu Renjia, Cheng Shengfei, and Guo Jianming.
Lu Renjia walked over quickly, smiling, and said in a loud voice: "You are so courageous! We heard about you and Mei Zhangjian in the coffin city! It's great!"
She walked to Li Wuxiang and stopped, and the two people behind her also stopped. Cheng Shengfei didn't say anything, but his eyes stayed on his face, his eyes sparkling. Guo Jianming bowed to him and said, "Hero... No, Senior Brother! Alas, I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I really, really, hehe, I never dreamed that I would really become a swordsman!"
Li Wuxiang forced himself to smile: "Senior Sister Lu, you brought them back to Youjiuyuan as well? I remember you said there were trials and the like, didn't you?"
Lu Renjia smiled: "That's normal times. But now——"
Her smile faded and she looked in the direction of Dadong Peak. "What happened in the sect? We sensed the master's sword intent and came back immediately. I brought them back with me. The sect is in trouble, and all the disciples outside will come back, so there is no need to worry about any trials."
"It's about the Xuan Sect. The Xuan Sect may have discovered You Jiuyuan." Lu Renjia's face was stern, and Li Wuxiang sighed, "Senior Sister Lu, you can't go to Dadong Peak now. The returning disciples have to go to Jiuzhu Peak first. I don't know why. I have to go to Coffin City again for urgent matters. Now Dadong Peak is talking about Senior Sister Mei in Coffin City. I have to go to the ferry to get some things back."
Lu Renjia was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "My guess is that Senior Sister Mei will not have an easy time this time. Well, you go first, I won't hold you back."
Li Wuxiang nodded to her, and then glanced at Cheng Shengfei and Guo Jianming. He wanted to say something to them, but he just sighed in his heart. He took a step to the side, turned around and smiled: "Hey, Senior Sister Lu, wait a minute, Senior Sister Mei brought me in, but I forgot to ask her how to get out."
Lu Renjia frowned, stared at him for a while, then laughed again: "Ha, this is the first time in thousands of years that a Jindan swordsman doesn't know how to get out of Youjiuyuan. It's very simple, just do this, after you get outside, walk directly into the mist, and when you can no longer see what's inside Youjiuyuan, circulate your Qi and blood - Youjiuyuan is not the mortal world, you will be pushed out in an instant, and you will go back to where you came from."
"Okay." Li Wuxiang nodded to her, "Senior Sister Lu, the Sword Sect is really a good place. Although I have only been a swordsman for a few days, I really want to be a swordsman for the rest of my life."
Lu Renjia reached out and patted his shoulder: "There's a lot of time left, go ahead."
Li Wuxiang stopped talking and walked forward immediately. When he reached the top and saw the ruins of the old capital of the Ye Dynasty, he met nine swordsmen, who must have returned to the clan from various places. Li Wuxiang did not speak to them, but two of them recognized him and greeted him with a smile.
He felt that this would be the last time he would feel such kindness for a long time.
Afterwards, he stepped into the thick fog surrounding You Jiuyuan, circulated his Dan power, and barely stimulated some Qi and blood. His vision became blurry for a moment, and he found himself standing in a pit.
Li Wuxiang jumped out of the pit - it was noon, the bright sun was hanging high above his head, and there was a fragrance of flowers and plants all around.
He immediately chose a direction at random and ran as fast as he could!
Don't go back to Jinshui, don't look for Xue Baoping.
The Sword Sect's people would definitely find her and would go to her to ask about their own affairs, but the Swordsmen were different from others and would never embarrass her, at least her life would not be in danger. If I took her away, she would be in danger.
Where should he go now? He didn't know. It was best not to know, and the people of the Sword Sect wouldn't know. Jiang Jie said that if he escaped, he could catch him back as soon as he thought about it. Now that Jiang Jie was gone, the one with the highest cultivation in the Sword Sect was Mei Qiulu, but after something like this happened, they would not trust Mei Qiulu again in the short term, so only Cui Jianzhu was left.
Mei Qiulu is a 100-mile sword fairy. She said that this means that her Yin Spirit is limited to 100 miles when traveling, and Cui Jianzhu will not be better than her. So she must leave at least 100 miles before they react.
How much time do I have left? It should be enough... Jiang Jie is the leader of a sect and has the cultivation of Yang Shen. No one will doubt whether he will fall into danger, and no one will rush him. Maybe they will have to wait for another hour or two before they get impatient.
After that, he must not go to Lingshan again. Even the Yin spirit can go to Lingshan when traveling. After this incident, the Sword Sect must immediately rescue Zeng Jianqiu and Pan Muyun. They will know that there is an external evil in their bodies and that Zhao Qi... Since the coffin mountain, he has been with Mei Zhangjian and has not looked for Zhao Qi. He doesn't know what will happen to Zhao Qi. Will he be killed by the swordsmen? This won't work...
Li Wuxiang exerted his strength again, and his whole body was like an arrow shot from a bow, flying forward along the grass, stirring up a rolling wave of air!
After going a hundred miles away, he had to warn Zhao Qi!
