Chapter 100 Things harm their own kind, the Tao of the Palace of Incarnation of Beasts
The five-color Xuangang flag, the treasure Lu Cheng obtained from the previous imperial tomb this time, is besides the life-extending elixir Red Blood Zhiwang , the biggest gain.
It is about three feet long and can be large or small. The flag is printed with five-color brocade cloud patterns, which are erratic.
The third-level ultimate defensive magic weapon, by injecting magic power into it, can generate Xuan Gang Cloud Qi corresponding to the nature of the magic power to protect the law and protect yourself.
If it falls into the hands of an ordinary monk, it will only be a third-level high-grade defensive weapon. Although it is rare, it is not rare.
But if it falls into the hands of a monk with the power of the Five Elements, I will use the water element to break the opponent's fire element, and I will use the earth element to break the opponent's water element. When being besieged, I can also sacrifice the Five Elements Mysterious Gang Brocade Cloud, which will last forever. Strong defense.
Ordinary magic weapons are only of the lower, middle and upper grades, and there is no such category as the best. This is because such magic weapons are mostly obtained by accident and are difficult to copy. Even if a fourth-level or even fifth-level weapon refiner can be hired, it may not be possible. You will definitely be able to refine a top-grade third-level magic weapon, which can only be encountered but not sought.
The vast sea of yellow sand in the Western Region and the end of the Gobi Desert.
Lu Cheng and Xue Yuzhen, who was wearing a gauze mask, respectively controlled the cloud-calling flag magical weapon and flew all the way to the middle of the country for more than a month before finally arriving at the border of the Western Region.
Of course those border patrols and soldiers cannot stop the monks.
"It is said that when the ancestors founded the country in the early years, the Tang Dynasty was at its peak of military strength. They conquered the south and the north, conquered the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, destroyed twenty-four of them, and established the Western Regions Protectorate. If not for the insufficient population of the Tang Dynasty, almost all of them would have been destroyed. The land of the Western Regions was included in the territory."
"Later, all beasts transformed into Gongxi and fled here, united with the people of the twelve countries of the Western Regions, and took advantage of the founder of the Tang Dynasty to control the dragon. Bintian rebelled and fought three bloody battles to defeat the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Over the next few hundred years, the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions once again became a serious threat."
After the first ancestor, the Tang Dynasty experienced another series of events. Four generations of emperors, the throne has just been passed to the present His Majesty. The Tang Dynasty has been in existence for thousands of years, but except for the first ancestor, the lifespan of all the emperors is not very long.
It is said by both the government and the public that this is caused by the restraint of dragon energy.
The emperor's dragon energy and the superior Taoism conflict with each other. It is extremely difficult and dangerous for ordinary people to resolve and suppress this conflict, not to mention that the emperors of all generations have to be distracted by government affairs, exhausted their efforts, and died.
"Not to mention the Li Tang Dynasty, even we cultivators dare not set foot in the area of the No. 1 Demon Sect in the Western Regions. If it weren't for the master, Ling'er and I would not dare to come here."
No one in private. When she was young, Xue Yuzhen would call Lu Cheng her husband, and at other times she would call her master. She abided by her duties and had a very gentle and gentle temperament.
But a person with Xue Yuzhen’s temperament didn’t have much respect in his tone when he talked about the Li Tang royal family. This is also a common thought among people in Taoism. The pursuit of seeking immortality far surpasses the rest, except for As great a man as the First Ancestor was, he could not look down upon ordinary human emperors.
The early wind blows, carrying sand particles flying in the yellow sky.
The desert sand sea stretches as far as the eye can see.
After arriving in the Western Regions, the three of them fled again for a few days and saw many sights that could not be seen in the Middle Earth. The large-scale war between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions had stopped, but there were still small-scale conflicts.
Because of the caravans from the Western Regions, bandits are rampant in the desert. They even practice some vicious and quick spells. Of course, there will also be Taoist officials from the Tang Dynasty following the slightly larger caravans. Who will kill them? Whoever chooses depends on their respective methods.
Most of the Western Region is not desert. The top monks in the Palace of Incarnation of All Beasts have the ability to transform into dragons and move clouds and spread rain.
Therefore, only the area at the junction of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions had vast deserts. Lu Cheng, Xue Yuzhen, and Yun Ling'er continued to fly deeper into the Western Regions, and found that the landscape was drier than that of the Middle Earth. But it’s not too different.
Western Region, Baicheng.
Caravans composed of mortals have been traveling between the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty. Lu Cheng and Xue Yuzhen were careful and avoided some checkpoints. If they had to go through hardships, then those caravans would not have to survive. .
But the deeper you go, the greater the influence of the Palace of Incarnation of Beasts. Lu Cheng takes Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er to escape into Baicheng.
I saw many people with beast characteristics in the city, and the status of these "orcs" was obviously higher than that of ordinary civilians.
The deeper you go into the Western Regions, the more blond and blue-eyed people you see among the civilian population.
A variety of buildings are being built inside the city, and the streets are filled with businessmen and tourists from all over the world. The streets are bustling with people and extremely lively.
The market here is different from Shengjing Changan.
A large area has been demarcated, and under the colorful tents set up high, there are many dazzling products, including all kinds of rare gems.
Of course, whether a rare treasure is a rare treasure or whether a gem is a gem depends on your own vision.
“Come and take a look. There are good slaves, both male and female. They have strong teeth and plump buttocks. If you buy one, you will be very comfortable whether you work or warm the bed!”< br>
Walking to the market, Lu Cheng saw that even people were being sold as goods.
"Ah!"
"It's so dirty!"
Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er both covered their eyes when they came here, and then pulled Lu Cheng away quickly because the slaves were not fully clothed.
They didn’t want to see it and didn’t let Lu Cheng see it.
“Hahahaha, boss, are there any Tang people here?”
Lu Cheng ignored Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er, but came to the slave boss and asked.
"No, no, all the Tang people here have been bought by the Tang people themselves. I don't have a single Tang person here."
After asking a few questions, Lu Cheng finally found out.
The national policy of the Tang Dynasty is to prohibit Tang people from being slaves outside. Once discovered, the government will negotiate with you and buy it at the average market price.
Of course, these unlucky ghosts will not end up well when they return to the Tang Dynasty. Most of them will be sent to the frontiers as slaves in armor, which is just slightly better than abroad.
Because of reasonable policies, Tang caravans traveling to the Western Regions will also buy Tang slaves when they come back. If you can't pay your ransom, then become my domestic slave. It's slightly better than going abroad, but you still have to pay a sufficient price. .
This policy protected the dignity of the vast majority of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Even if he was a beggar in Chang'an, he would not accept reward money from foreigners, because he would not starve to death if he did not accept it, but if he accepted it, he would die that night. Will be killed by other beggars.
It is very cruel, but this world is not gentle. If tears can stop swords and cavalry, who will hold the sword and ride the horse forward.
Of course, if an individual is willing to be a slave of another country in the Western Regions, then Tang officials and merchants will not force him to take him back.
Some Tang slaves volunteered to serve as slave leaders in the Western Regions because they knew some words and were conscious, so they were in a better situation than in the Tang Dynasty.
This policy only gave the Tang people one more choice, and those who chose to stay in other countries were only an absolute minority.
It is very cheap to live away from home, let alone in a land full of foreigners. Even if you live in a pigsty, you cannot become a pig.
While the three people in Lu Cheng were visiting the customs and customs that were completely different from those in Middle-earth.
To the west of the city, black smoke rose, and at the same time bursts of exclamations and screams were heard.
Lu Cheng and Xue Yuzhen looked at each other and naturally followed the crowd. Even Yun Ling'er had the power of the late stage of qi training. The three of them seemed to be slow and sick, and they seemed to just follow the crowd. , in fact, the speed is faster than that of a galloping horse, passing by like the wind, but without any contact with pedestrians on the street.
When we got closer, what we saw was a scene of blood, fire and killing.
"A member of the Mi family has an affair with the Tang Dynasty. With the approval of the deacons of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Palace, he will be sentenced to death and the clan will be exterminated!"
The killing has already begun. A bright yellow brocade document was hung on Mi On the outer wall of the family's courtyard, someone recited it.
As soon as I heard that he had liaison with the Tang Dynasty and was sentenced to annihilation, the lustful people around him all cheered and looked excited.
But in fact, most of the people flying in the air were Tang people with black hair and black eyes, but the leader was a young man with golden eyes and golden rings in his ears. On the contrary, those who were killed in the courtyard below were Most of them are blond and blue-eyed people.
The Palace of Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts is a powerful demon sect that has developed so far in Middle-earth. Not to mention that the mind and cultural foundation of the color-eyed people are not suitable for practicing Taoism. Even if they are suitable, the original monks in the Palace of Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts will consciously select disciples. As long as they are still living creatures, They will instinctively get close to those who are similar to themselves.
It’s just that the Taoism of the Palace of Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts emphasizes abandoning the holy wisdom and abandoning all acquired regulations. It is already very suitable for the Western Region and can accept some people with lustful eyes to become sect monks.
If it is a sect like the Tianhe Sword Sect, even if the sect is established in the Western Region, they will bring the population themselves, or the elders of the sect will go to the Central Plains to recruit disciples after they have successfully cultivated, and they will choose from thousands of people. There is no one with lustful eyes.
The avenue is like mercury pouring down the ground, but the monks have their own positions.
The Mi family, a wealthy family in Baicheng, was burning with blood and screaming today.
The monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Sect threw various beast-controlling instruments, and a pack of wolves, giant bears, and giant eagles escaped from them, feeding on the entire Mi family below.
Beast-controlling monks often perform blood sacrifices, which not only saves money on feeding monsters, but also cultivates spirituality and increases ferocity. Therefore, this kind of genocide is considered a good job here. In this era, people of the same clan like to gather together and work together to resist danger, but once they encounter such a catastrophic disaster, they can't even run away.
"Master, our family was wronged. We did not have an affair with the Tang Dynasty people. Please tell me, master, we didn't!"
The flying eagle fell, He immediately knocked the old man down and ate his flesh and blood.
A pack of wolves tore apart their food, and a giant bear broke open the house, struggled desperately against several men holding iron spears, and swung its claws left and right to kill them.
"It's all your fault, you bitch. If it weren't for you, how could the master think that we were having an affair with a Tang Dynasty?"
"Yes, it's all your fault!"
"You killed us!"
The master of the Mi family and several blond concubines did not run away or prepare to resist at this moment, but picked up hairpins, scissors and other sharp weapons,< br>
Like crazy, he pounced on a young woman with black hair and black eyes and stabbed her to death.
"Pei'er, Pei'er, run!"
"Mother, mother!"
A child of four or five years old stood next to the Tang Dynasty woman She cried and cried, watching helplessly as her mother fell into a pool of blood, and the blood spread.
He was too scared and instinctively unwilling to leave his mother, so he just stood there and cried.
After a moment, the blond women stood up covered in blood and surrounded the little boy again. They wanted to kill the "bastard" and "scourge" in their eyes before they died. It's considered revenge for oneself.
When things are good, everything is good, but once things are in trouble, every little difference will bring incomparable hatred and resentment.
The sword light flashed suddenly.
In an instant, those women were killed by a sword energy that penetrated their bodies. On the contrary, I did not suffer the slightest sin.
“After all, things will harm their own kind, how can a child be wronged.”
With this sigh, a young Taoist priest with a silver iron mask flew down, and at this time, Xue Yuzhen had already pulled his daughter away.
"Mom, why are you dragging me away? Grandmaster Huang Longzi is the great elder of the Beast Incarnation Sect. Let alone saving an innocent child, even if you kill those deacons, what does it mean?"
Yun Ling'er looked excited and excited, but what she said made Xue Yuzhen frown slightly.
“Remember the word affection, the more you use it, the weaker it becomes, whether it is the affection between the master and his uncle, or the affection between you and the master. After all, you are not his daughter, the master’s love for You should cherish your affection, why are you so proud of it?"
On the other side, the burning Mi family house was half empty.
"Oh, there is actually a master!"
The seductive young man with golden rings in his ears leaned forward with an excited expression.
But at this moment, a huge wolf dog suddenly jumped out of the void, and when it opened its mouth, white demonic flames rolled down.
At the same time, Lu Cheng, who knew well that "attack before retreating, hurt the opponent", swung his sword and attacked, pointing directly at the young man named the leader.
“Ahhhhh!”
"Ah!"
Screaming in agony, the fourth-level monsters attacked a group of monks in the foundation-building realm. Even though these monks were top disciples of the sect, and each of them had good magic weapons, they were still forced into a state of embarrassment. .
They all dispersed and cast their magic spells to turn away the cold demonic fire.
As for the lustful young man, facing Lu Cheng's sword attack, his eyebrows suddenly beat. After a few times, a thin line of blood appeared faintly.
When I looked again, there was no young man with a jade-like face and a high-spirited spirit in the sky. He only had an eagle head and body, with black wings on his back. He was wearing a black armor and silk canopy, holding a silver painting. Halberd, a ferocious demon with resentful souls entangled around him.
All beasts transform into demons, and this is the way to transform all beasts into demon palaces!
锵.
At this time, a monk rushed over, but was driven back by Lu Cheng with a sword and fell to the ground seriously injured.
With the sword intent gaining momentum, the eagle-headed young man was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, counterattacking Lu Cheng with a single blow.
Lu Cheng had no intention of killing, he just wanted these people to suffer a little and not dare to pursue him, so the changes in his sword moves were a little slow. But he didn't expect that a random disciple in the Palace of Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts could stop his sword intention from attacking his heart.
His brows furrowed slightly, the sword in his hand trembled slightly, and his figure suddenly transformed into something ethereal, escaping into the five elements. The pure Jun sword light turned from virtual reality to a golden sword circle surrounding him.
The young man with the head of an eagle shook his wings behind him, rushed up and then looked down. His dark golden eagle eyes expanded rapidly and then contracted. The dark wings behind him waved again, and he held a bright silver halberd in his hand. Like lightning, it struck Lu Cheng's invisible hiding place.
“Such a magical power really has merit!”
Dang.
The Five Elements Escape Technique was broken. Lu Cheng turned around slightly and pointed his long sword diagonally. The tip of the sword collided with the edge of the halberd, making a crisp metallic sound.
He was flapping his sword with his halberd, but the expression of the young man with the head of an eagle changed drastically. Of course, no one could see this.
Because, he only felt that the big halberd in his hand hit an empty place, and there was no shock at all like the force of the full-strength attack. Instead, he felt that the opponent's flying sword was like a black hole, blowing him away. All the power and mana were swallowed up in an instant.
On the other hand, Lu Cheng's body and sword light merged. During the exchange, he borrowed the strength from the opponent's halberd. His body rushed forward like a phantom, and the sword light turned into countless sword shadows. He shuttled through the attack net of the painted halberd, and then suddenly thrust out a sword to attack the eagle-headed man, directly hitting his vitals.
Seeing this, the eagle-headed man jumped forward suddenly, his wings sticking close to his body, forming a thick black barrier.
The sword wings struck each other, although they took away some damage, but in the end, blood was still spilled in the sky.
"It's over, I'm going to die here!?"
The demon's body was damaged and his magic power was dispersed. The demon-like appearance of the hawk-headed man quickly receded, revealing the human head. Class body.
However, the expected fatal sword did not come.
When the lustful man calmed down and looked intently, he saw a Taoist suddenly appeared in front of the little boy below. With a flash of sword and rainbow, he threw his head towards the little boy's huge body. The wolf chopped it to pieces.
Picking up the boy who was half Tang Dynasty, the Taoist sword escaped.
Only the shocked foundation-building monks in the Palace of Incarnation of All Beasts were left.
If this little boy didn’t have black hair and black eyes with obvious features, Lu Cheng would not have rescued him at all. After leaving Baicheng, Lu Cheng used the techniques he learned from a killer to correct the little boy’s condition. He removed his facial bones and sent him to a herdsman's home in the suburbs. He left some money and left.
Baicheng is not far from Guizang Mountain where Master Huang Longzi lives in seclusion, but the closer it gets, the more Lu Cheng becomes hesitant.
The customs and customs of the Western Regions he saw along the way, as well as the Taoism of the Palace of Incarnation of Beasts he had seen before, all made him hesitate.
"Teacher Akamiko should have seen more profoundly than me, but the incarnation of all beasts, the transformation of humans into monsters..."
Just as Lu Cheng was flying away with Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er, thinking and hesitating, dark clouds suddenly rolled in from the southwest sky.
Looking a little closer, you can see eight giant dragons with black scales flying high in the sky, pulling a streamlined body with a purple-gold body, exquisitely carved and extremely luxurious. The huge chariot came flying.
As soon as the two sides got closer, the letter in Lu Cheng's arms that was obtained from the teacher Chi Shenzi of Huoyun Mansion suddenly spread out in a circle of red light and flew high into the air, being photographed by the being in the huge chariot. Get it in hand.
"I wonder how there is an old friend's sword energy. It turns out that the disciple of that old guy, Red God Son, is here. Why are you still staying outside? Come up quickly."
Yes. Let people go up quickly, but Lu Cheng, Xue Yuzhen, and Yun Ling'er all felt a huge suction force covering their bodies, and their bodies flew up involuntarily.
"Okay, you don't have to choose now."
Finally, this thought flashed through Lu Cheng's mind.
