Chapter 34: Robbery and murder? Ying Jie!
Between the thousand mountains and giant peaks, silvery white clouds flew into the rapids.
The vegetation is lush and green, and from time to time you can see the gorgeous mist all over the mountain. But if a flying bird passes by, as long as it is slightly contaminated, it will often end up flying sideways and falling.
A dark black centipede that was nearly thirty feet in size was flying away at high speed, vibrating its almost invisible and material hidden wings behind its back.
Standing on the back of the dark black centipede is a young Taoist. He stands leisurely, watching the land of thousands of mountains and thousands of miles passing by in front of his eyes, admiring the rare scenery.
In a flash of black light, Tang Shi appeared next to Lu Cheng.
This is the core technique of the Gu God Sect and the orthodoxy of the Yinshan Patriarch. Although it is narrow and sharp in nature, it is also dark and profound in its twists and turns.
“Thanks to the demon pill given by my dear brother, my thousand-winged centipede can grow so fast.”
“Brother Tang, there is no need to mention this matter all the time. ”
“Hahahaha, good, good brother”
Lu Cheng came from a famous family, and Tang Shi valued him very much, so even though Tang Shi also came from a major demon sect, he still intended to establish a relationship with Lu Cheng so that he could help him in the future.
Tang Shi practiced hard and built the foundation of the tunnel. Although he was valued by Yinshan Patriarch and accepted him as a disciple, he had no status among his "brothers" and was quite marginalized.
Coupled with the style of conduct within the Gu God Sect, if any of his fellow disciples got close to him without any intention, Tang Shi would be extremely alert.
So this time he got acquainted with the three righteous monks of Chixin Temple through the Patriarch's Dharma. If there was no great benefit, Tang Shi planned to become close friends with the three of them, so as not to become a god in the future when he cultivated to a high level. Despite the calamity, he couldn't even find anyone willing to protect him.
It is not impossible for monks from both the Dao and Demon lines to be friends.
"In our Tang Dynasty, there are eight major Immortal Sects, the Four Directions Demon Sect, the Dongyang Orthodox Sect in the east, the Palace of Incarnations of Beasts in the west, and the Beichen Sword Sect in the north. In this southern land, before Master established the Taoism, Burning Wood Mountain was the largest practice. power, but also scattered cultivators gather together, because further east it is easier to It is the forest sea in the southeast, and to the west is the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It is difficult to find powerful enemies in the middle-earth area if you dig into these two places, even if you are a god."
"Over time, monks from other sects gathered here because They communicated with each other when necessary, so they built a city that never sleeps."
"I sent you there, my dear brother, and prepared a new identity for you. If you become famous there, it will be easier to get the Lin family. ”
Lin. The clan was a member of the royal family of the former dynasty. After Li Tangxing drove him into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Burning Wood Mountain Dharma Lineage developed was also quite powerful. It even existed longer than the Gu God Sect. Even if it existed in the city that never sleeps, it would not be able to control power. , and must have its own power.
The journey from Shiyuan County to Lingnan Evernight City is not a one-day journey.
Even if Tang Shi controlled a Thousand-Winged Centipede in the foundation-building realm, it would still take several days to fly.
In the past few days, the two of them traveled during the day and discussed Taoism and Dharma at night. They studied and evaluated current events and wanted to gain benefits from them. They were not lonely in their respective practices.
"Lin Lie, a member of the Lin family who has the same surname as the third generation of the Lin family in Ranmu Mountain. When he was young, he had a sword fight with his fellow tribesmen over a spiritual object. After killing someone, he fled into the mountains to avoid trouble..."
This is the identity Tang Shi prepared for Lu Cheng.
Ranmu Mountain has been entrenched here for many years, and has produced hundreds of thousands of descendants of the bloodline. This Lin Lie does exist, but this happened more than ten years ago, and the real Lin Lie is dead. Under the guidance of a Gu God Cult disciple.
That Gu God Cult disciple happened to be Tang Shi's confidant, and not many people knew about it. Even the Lin family had difficulty determining Lin Lie's identity.
Then, it is very reasonable for this person to have a unique encounter in the Shiwan Mountains, and to encounter the Sanxiu Cave and obtain his inheritance.
This kind of thing is not too common and not uncommon in this land where a large number of casual cultivators gather. A few will appear every ten or several decades.
However, these monks will not gain the close affection of Burning Wood Mountain, let alone obtain the inheritance of core skills.
Tang Shi only provided himself with a suitable identity, and the help was limited to that.
After writing down the information about Lin Lie's identity, Lu Cheng ignited magic fire in his hand to burn the information, and then began to practice with his eyes closed.
This is a wild mountain forest.
Bonfire, two monks practicing Taoism.
Gradually as time passed, there was only one monk left in front of the burning bonfire who was concentrating on practicing Qi.
A few hours later, today’s lesson of moving qi and practicing the three treasures has ended.
The young Taoist sat on a futon with a bamboo book box beside him.
“With Chiji Heart Technique as the main method and Jian Yuanlu as the supplement, these two Taoist methods will actually gradually merge into one in the later stages of training, and we will obtain a sword energy that is all about me and the sword, and is condensed and sharp. I If I lose all my magic power at this time, with my swordsmanship and my state of mind at this time, the foundation of the Earth Sword will be completed in twenty years, and even the foundation of the Heavenly Sword will be completed. "
This is not the case. It's not arrogance, but Lu Cheng's confidence in his swordsmanship skills.
"But regardless of whether there has been any external calamity in the past twenty years, Jian Yuan Lu is pure and pure, and the 'Qi Hai' magical power of my body is considered useless. Jian Yuan Lu is not It doesn’t fully fit my character and physique, and I don’t think a swordsman is invincible. After all, the sword still depends on who holds it.”
Thinking like this, I continue to refine my future path.
Many people like to make decisive decisions when the opportunity arises, but for his own development in the next ten or decades, Lu Cheng prefers to analyze the pros and cons and repeatedly weigh them, and then make a decision without regrets.
At the beginning of spring, the weather is still cold, especially in the mountains, where the night wind in the mountains and forests is whistling.
Five pedestrians who were on their way at night saw a bonfire swaying in the mountains and forests here. And the clean young Taoist priest sitting in front of the campfire.
These five people are Taoist and secular, two Taoists in gray robes, one holding a flag and the other empty-handed, and three dressed in worldly clothes, but they all have a somewhat sinister look on their faces.
Looking at the clean young Taoist in the distance who was wearing an ice silkworm Taoist robe, with a pure heart jade pendant hanging around his waist, a purple heart grass futon under his seat, and a bamboo box beside him, the five of them looked at each other.
"Brother, do you want to vote for me?"
A middle-aged man in a strong suit asked the leader of the empty-handed gray-robed Taoist.
"I am alone here for the night, without even a magic circle to protect myself. Which rich man is this? Is this a wealthy man who comes out to find a way? Kill him so that he dares to look down on us."
The five of them were not originally full-time robbery cultivators, but if they encountered a fat sheep like today, they would be sorry if they did not eat it.
They did not take action immediately, but spread out and slowly surrounded them from all directions.
Although a wealthy young man like this is dull, he is not stupid. He probably has some life-saving treasures on his body. Surrounding him from all sides can ensure that his opponent cannot escape to the greatest extent.
The first time the five people's eyes fell on him, Lu Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, opened his eyes.
Because the murderous intention is too strong, people with less experience in fighting might ignore it, but for people like Lu Cheng, such eyes will be sensed once they fall on him, and Gao Ming Those who practice calamity cultivation must have a method of experience to cover up their own murderous intentions.
"Surround me...five."
"Kill!"
"Death!"
With the sharp shouts from both sides, two sword lights stabbed at each other from the left and right. If someone was frightened, they would be stabbed through each other in the next moment.
At the same time, there was also a beast tooth magic weapon wrapped in dark yellow magic light that hit the ground.
A ghost flag was spread out in the wind in the night, and misty ghosts poured out from it and rushed towards Lu Cheng from all directions, escaping extremely fast and concealing themselves, hoping to absorb its blazing vitality and make up for their own coldness.
The ground shook faintly, and the earth and rocks rolled slightly from behind and to the left.
Clang.
A red sword light suddenly flew up from beside the Taoist who was sitting cross-legged and seemed to be unaware. As a result, the bamboo box was opened, revealing the inclined scabbard and the vermilion statue inside.
The ghosts released by Oni Banner are the first to arrive and die first.
The red sword light surrounded the Taoist body, and all the ghosts that came from all directions collapsed like boiling soup and snow.
The Taoist priest who secretly controlled the ghost banner was still laughing secretly: How could ordinary sword light destroy these ghosts in a short time?
As long as...
As long as anything, before the Taoist priest could think of it, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The ghosts are all dead and the mana counterattacks.
"How could this happen, with just one sword?"
With the sword's intention gaining momentum, the flying sword contained the sword master's murderous intention, killing ordinary Yin spirits and ghosts with no disadvantages.
Therefore, with just one strike of the sword, the ghost flag that was still swinging in the wind fell down. The Taoist priest who cast the spell to control it lost all the ghosts he had fed with his blood, his magic power was reversed, and he fainted on the spot.
The Chisong Flying Sword circled around the body, and then suddenly the man and the sword merged. The red sword light enveloped Lu Cheng's body and flew upside down. In an instant, he landed on a big tree behind him, and then slashed out again.
Two flying swords and bone and tooth instruments followed closely.
Standing on the tree trunk, the magic formula in Lu Cheng's hand changed. The magic power on the Chisong Flying Sword suddenly poured into the front edge of the sword. This change caused the flying sword to spin at high speed and slash towards the front. The bone and teeth magic weapon. Clang.
The two rays of light, yellow and red, collided head-on.
One is a second-level mid-grade, and the other is a first-grade high-grade, but the Chisong Flying Sword is rotating at a high speed at this time. Before the two magic weapons actually hit each other, the blade of this flying sword has already struck first. On the lower side of the bone and tooth instrument.
The two rays of light, yellow and red, bounced off each other.
Qi-training monks have not yet gathered their spiritual consciousness, and the control of the magic weapon is just to wrap the magic weapon with their own magic power and drive it.
As a result, the monk who controlled the bone and tooth magic weapon was spared the pain of having the sword strike straight into his soul. The disadvantage was that he could not control his magic weapon this time, and he did not even understand what he had just said. Why did the speller itself lose?
"Although that flying sword is full of spirituality, its sword light quality should only be that of a first-level flying sword?"
But the next scene made it even more difficult for the monk to believe it.
I saw the red flying sword being bounced away, like an incomparable coincidence, clang, clang, one after another, it bounced and struck at the spines and ends of the two flying swords behind. These positions All are places beyond the reach of the sword.
Just like a long sword can cut off a wooden stick, but if the wooden stick hits the spine of the long sword directly, it can also break the long sword. This does not mean that the wooden stick is of higher quality than the long sword.
However, although the truth is clear, the four people who besieged him could not have imagined that one day they would have a sword fight with an opponent who could use a sword like this.
Avoid the real and attack the weak, using the strong to attack the weak. After successive attacks dispersed the magic power attached to the two flying swords, the red flying swords were like bloodthirsty sharks, surrounding the two flying swords and biting them.
When it flew back to the sword owner again, the two flying swords that fell to the ground were already covered with sword marks.
Bang, bang.
When the two invulnerable earth armor corpses turned from the bonfire futon to the big tree, and then broke out of the ground.
The Chisong Flying Sword had already reversed its course and turned around, wrapping around Lu Cheng's figure, and finally pointed straight at a relatively hidden forest not far away.
There, there was a young Taoist in gray robes. With sweat on his face, he quickly took out the defensive talisman seal and held it to activate.
"How could it be? How could this happen?"
"Photograph!"
Lu Cheng pointed towards the gray-robed Taoist.
A weak thread of mana was extracted from the gray-robed Taoist. This was because the mana had not yet been activated and the defensive talisman had not been activated.
Lu Cheng flew to the ground, and the sword light swept beside him, piercing the chest of the young Taoist in gray robe, breaking out a fountain of blood.
"...Seize the Sky!"
The young Taoist in gray robe slowly turned sideways and looked at Lu Cheng, said these two words in disbelief, and then couldn't control his body. He was knocked backwards and died.
The two armored corpses not far away lost control of their owners and stood stunned on the spot.
When the three remaining Tribulation Cultivators saw this, the monk who controlled the Beast Tooth Magical Artifact knelt down on the spot and rushed to Lucheng to kowtow desperately.
The two monks who controlled the flying sword didn't want the flying sword anymore, turned around and ran away, or even scattered and escaped. Finally, showing some professionalism.
"Taoist Master, have mercy on me, Taoist Master, please forgive me"
Before the word "life" was spoken, flying swords circled the throat.
Lu Cheng beckoned and withdrew the flying sword and sighed softly: "I can spare you, but the sword cannot."
"Hahahaha, Huoyun Mansion is worthy of being the ancient sword immortal. , My dear brother, you are the first person I have seen in my life who can use the flying sword to this extent.”
At this time, Tang Shi, who suddenly disappeared before, just walked out of the mountain forest.
He was holding a human head in his hand, and the giant centipede behind him had half a corpse in its mouth and was eating and swallowing.
It was the two people who had just escaped, and it was because Lu Cheng knew that this would happen that he did not pursue them.
"Brother Tang, what's going on?"
Tang Shi was guarding the whole road, but tonight, he suddenly disappeared, and then five thieves appeared.
"Let you experience the environment of the city that never sleeps in advance. In this city that never sleeps in Lingnan, beauties, gambling houses, spells, magic weapons, magic pills, meeting goddesses at night, everything you can imagine and unexpected will happen here. But in Murder in this city that never sleeps is not considered murder as long as it is not caught on the spot by the law enforcement team. Of course, it is the same if someone kills you. ”
"So, things like tonight are only common in the city that never sleeps. If you can't even pass this level, there's no need to go anymore. With me here, I can at least protect you."
"..."
Listening to Brother Tang's words, Lu Cheng was silent for a while, feeling the city that never sleeps, which was completely different from the safe environment in his previous life, and seemed to have some enlightenment.
A few days later, in front of Lingnan Evernight City, a young Taoist wearing shabby gray clothes appeared in front of Lingnan City, holding a broken long flag, carrying a bamboo box on his back.
Of course this person is Lu Cheng.
Due to the position of the Gu God Sect, Tang Shi did not want to get too involved in this matter, so he sent Lu Cheng to a nearby place to say goodbye.
Lu Cheng fully accepted Tang Shi's advice and put away all his auxiliary robes, Qingxin jade pendant and even the Qiankun bag.
Holding the damaged long flag that was taken from the thief in the past few days, carrying a bamboo box on his back, and wearing a gray robe, two words could be seen from head to toe: poverty!
Fortunately, the Red Pine Sword is a first-level flying sword. If a Qi Practitioner carries it with him, it will only look more shabby, so it is okay to wear it.
Seeing the huge city standing on the mountain peak, Lu Cheng looked at the flow of people and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little lucky.
Now he is not poor among these people. Lu Cheng saw an old man with gray hair in linen and mango shoes walking into the city with an obviously damaged Qiankun bag slung across his body.
In other words, he has nothing but the limited items he can put down on his body.
“The entry fee is a low-grade spirit stone.” Lu Cheng handed over the spirit stone and entered the city smoothly.
On the city wall, there are several teams of guard monks wearing the same uniforms. They serve as patrol law enforcement teams, and their spiritual temperament can make people feel at ease.
Tang Shi's reminder makes sense, but basic order must be maintained in the city that never sleeps. Otherwise, the city will lose the cornerstone on which it was built.
At this time, a voice from behind reached Lu Cheng's ears.
"You already know me, just let me in this time. Can I still run away? When I earn spiritual stones from my work, I will definitely pay the city entry tax."
But it was the old monk that Lu Cheng noticed just now who was arguing with the guard.
"Uncle Qin, you are over 80 years old, and you haven't completed the late stage of Qi training. You still want to go to the city to find immortality? It's not your turn to seize the body. Stop dreaming and go back to your hometown to do it. Isn’t it good for a wealthy landowner to have several wives and concubines to enjoy two years of immortality?”
"I have a firm heart..."
"There is a difference between a firm heart and daydreaming."
Lu Cheng could not hear the next words because he had already entered a building at this time. The vast and bright city is paved with emerald roads, with white jade steps, and pavilions and pavilions that are not stained by dust.
A monk flying with a sword in mid-air, and there was a faint sound of hawking in the buildings on both sides, giving people a sense of prosperity and prosperity.
Walking casually, looking around, walking a little further, Lu Cheng could even see a beautiful female nun covered in gauze in the pavilions on both sides. At this time, she was lying on her back leaning on her arm as a pillow. Looking outside the building from the ebony railing.
The female cultivator had peach-like eyes and jade-like skin. She didn't dislike Lu Cheng's shabby appearance. Instead, she covered her mouth and chuckled while waving the show handkerchief in her hand.
I think it was because of the appearance of this poor little Taoist priest that this body was indeed quite outstanding in appearance and figure.
Immortal cultivators usually do not want to have too much entanglement with mortal men and women, because the practice itself has the effect of purifying the body, removing impurities, changing tendons and washing the marrow. The physique of a cultivator with a little bit of cultivation is much cleaner than that of ordinary mortals. few.
Therefore, in folklore, the love between immortals and mortals is almost impossible. Even if mortals are born with ice muscles, jade bones, and excellent skin, they are still dirty in the eyes of monks, let alone immortals, unless It is that kind of extremely special innate Tao body, but one may not appear for thousands of years.
Of course, the gap in the realm of Qi training and foundation building is not too obvious, so there are still many monks who married many wives and gave birth to many children after their paths were interrupted.
In the higher realms, people will basically only admire monks of similar realms. Even if Jindan Zhenren is willing to take a low-level monk as his concubine, he will usually give him the skills and time to cultivate to a certain level. When marrying again, many times you even invest resources and give advice, but the other party's cultivation level is not improved, which is a waste of time.
Lu Cheng wandered around the city, getting used to feeling the city that never sleeps, which was built by the casual cultivators.
