Chapter 136 The Golden Centipede Soul Curse and Luo Jiao’s reaction (please subscribe)
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
Xu Qing closed the door to thank the guests, waiting intently for the day of welcoming her bride, and for the dustup of the struggle between the upper echelons of the court to settle. During this period, he handed over the list of subordinate officials in the Yamen who had complaints to He Zhifu and Zheng Zhixian, and asked the two main officials to use their power to replace them.
And through Yan Shan and Xie Quan to come forward, select the members of the restored society who are willing to participate in clearing the land.
For this reason, Xie Quan even lowered his status and accepted an assignment from the yamen, intending to participate in it personally.
With this person who ranked sixth in the undergraduate provincial examination taking the lead, the appeal generated is unimaginable.
In addition, Yan Shan and two other outstanding members of the Fushe also successfully passed the provincial examination, but ranked in the middle and lower grades.
This time Jiangning Mansion can produce four candidates at once, which is also a grand event that has not happened in many years.
Four of them are from Fushe, which further affirms Xu Qing’s eight-part essay level and teaching level.
For this reason, many middle- and lower-class scholars in Southern Zhili are eagerly looking forward to Xu Qing's next lecture.
But they knew very well that all this would have to wait until Xu Jieyuan got married.
When everything is implemented smoothly.
Unexpected arrival.
…
…
Danxi Weng was invited to a hidden courtyard by Xu Qing.
"Xu Jieyuan, even your medical skills cannot solve this difficult problem. I'm afraid I can't do anything when I come here."
Recently, Dan Xiweng accepted Xu Qing's housekeeper Xu Fu as his disciple. He taught him how to make medicine and got to know him as a wizard who made medicine. He was quite satisfied and was teaching him everything he had without asking about foreign affairs.
But Xu Qing came to the door and he had to come.
Xu Qing: "Her illness is unusual. You will need to use acupuncture to stabilize the qi and blood later. I will then use the power of the soul to expel the soul curse from her body. A two-pronged approach can save her. ”
Danxi Weng nodded when he heard the words and came to the room. When he saw a young girl, he couldn't help but smile.
He thought Xu Qing was the hidden beauty in the golden house.
Xu Qing did not explain, but said softly: "Please keep this matter confidential."
"I understand." Danxi Weng thought, for outstanding young people like Xu Jieyuan, It is strange to have no confidante.
Of course it is not good for him to spread the news at this time, so as not to cause trouble to others.
Although Xu Qing's marriage has almost no possibility of trouble.
Marriage in this era, especially the status of Xu Qing and Feng Xunjian, after the engagement, they can no longer help themselves to make the decision.
The person lying on the bed was Su Lianqing. Before she passed out, she came to Xu Qing's door.
Danxi Weng saw a section of Su Lianqing's exposed arm, with a faint golden centipede mark on it.
At the same time, several golden needles blocked the intersection of qi and blood around the centipede.
However, a wisp of black energy could still be seen emerging on Su Lianqing's forehead.
“This is the Golden Centipede Soul Curse of Luo Jiao Dharma King Golden Centipede.” Danxi Weng looked surprised.
Xu Qing nodded: "You are indeed well-informed, and you can recognize it at a glance."
Su Lianqing was hit by a soul curse, and it was better than Xu Qing's last kill at Wudinghou. The spells cast by the Lotus Sect elders are much better.
It must be said that Dharma King Jin Centi reacted very quickly. After being distracted and seriously injured, he quickly realized that something was wrong with Su Lianqing.
Su Lianqing was careful enough and used the Soul Disguise Technique to lurk in Yingtian Mansion, but the other party still found clues and cast a Soul Curse on him to retaliate.
This gave Xu Qing a new understanding of possession masters.
Even if he is distracted, the power of the soul can barely reach the "manifest" level by absorbing the flesh and blood essence of his own bloodline. With the "realm" of possession, he still displays methods that currently surprise Xu Qing. .
As for the other party being able to cast a soul curse on Su Lianqing, I'm afraid that distraction also came to Yingtian Mansion.
I just don’t know where it is hidden.
He originally thought that Dharma King Jin Centi could no longer make waves after being severely wounded, so it was just right for him to remain as an opponent to reassure his superiors.
It seems that he is conceited.
This is also the smooth sailing in recent days, which has caused his confidence to expand.
Xu Qing did not feel infinite regret for this. As long as you are a human being, you will definitely make mistakes. He made a deliberate mistake before, but it seemed a bit ridiculous.
What he should reflect on is his previous arrogance.
As for now, it is a matter of making amends.
Su Lianqing is his shadow hiding in the dark. Although she is inconspicuous, no one can replace her for the time being.
The one who can currently pose a fatal threat to Su Lianqing is naturally Luo Jiao.
It seems that we need to find a way to solve this matter.
Besides, it is time for him to have real contact with Luo Jiao.
In fact, Xu Qing also knew that once the struggle between the upper echelons of the court came to an end for the time being, he would face terrible pressure.
First of all, the pressure on Lin Tianwang at sea will become greater and greater.
This is because Xu Qing reached out to the sea trade, and the struggle with the old forces in South Zhili was destined to be irreconcilable and become increasingly fierce.
Any gain requires struggle.
He already understood the difficulty.
Therefore, Xu Qing pulled the gentry of Jiangning Prefecture onto the warship. Firstly, he could quickly stabilize the rear. Secondly, it was naturally easy for these people to cultivate an interest group headed by Xu Qing.
If Xu Qing does not choose to expand externally, the struggle within Jiangning Mansion will still exist; if it expands externally, the gentry can also have the same interests as the middle- and lower-class scholars and ordinary people, forming a close rural party.
Profit is the biggest driving force.
Of course, this also requires Xu Qing to formulate rules and order to guide this township party.
The truth is easy to understand. Only when you actually put it into practice will you know how difficult it is. But after success, the benefits are also unimaginable.
Xu Qing's thoughts flashed through her mind and she said to Danxi Weng beside her: "Thank you. I will use Taoist magic to remove the soul curse for her later. Don't be surprised when you see strange things. Don't worry about the acupuncture." Just block it to calm her blood."
Dan Xiweng nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not an inexperienced person."
Xu Qing smiled casually.
He then took a step back and signaled Danxi Weng to apply the acupuncture first.
Danxi Weng quickly took out the golden needle and began to use a method similar to the one he used to treat Feng Wu's injury last time, blocking his energy and blood to calm his mind.
At this moment, suffocating pressure hit him.
Dan Xiweng's hands almost shook, but fortunately his years of training as a doctor kept his hands steady.
He saw a Vajra King holding a Vajra Bell appear, like the protector of the great Buddhist Bodhisattva, burrowing into Su Lianqing's head.
In Su Lianqing's sea of consciousness, a golden centipede was swinging back and forth in the boundless world of the sea of consciousness, chasing Su Lianqing's figure.
She has been running for an unknown amount of time, but still cannot get rid of the golden centipede. She has even been bitten several times and is getting weaker and weaker.
She didn't know how long she could hold on.
But she held firm faith and believed that the young master would definitely rescue her.
As she grew weaker.
The thoughts of boundless battle turned into golden light, breaking through her sea of consciousness.
A mighty and strong Vajra King appeared holding a Vajra Bell.
"King of Vajra, the Five Demon Gods?" The Golden Centipede shouted in shock.
Boom!
The ringing of the Vajra Bell was loud, and at the same time, Vajra King's other five arms, holding various weapons, blasted towards the Golden Centipede with the terrifying power of fighting thoughts.
Jin Centipede was blocked by these arms and weapons and was trapped for a while.
“Bold!” Jin Centi shouted coldly.
Snap!
Five terrifying weapons came, and at the same time, a towering young figure appeared, stepping over as the five weapons surrounded the golden centipede.
The Golden Centipede was trampled to pieces.
At the same time, the golden centipede mark on Su Lianqing's arm shattered and turned into strands of golden light to escape.
A burst of thunder sounded, accompanied by a powerful masculine burst of blood.
The strands of golden light completely dissipated.
Su Lianqing woke up slowly, saw Danxi Weng, and subconsciously said: "Master, why are you getting old?"
"I am here." Xu Qing's face turned dark. .
Danxi Weng looks nothing like him.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Su Lianqing apologized quickly.
Danxi Weng laughed loudly and then went out knowing what was going on.
Xu Qing then said to Su Lianqing: "You can rest for a while and you will be fine."
"Thank you, Master, for saving me."
Xu Qing wanted to ask for it. When he spoke again, he suddenly frowned and said in a cold voice: "Be brave."
He took out the beef tendon bow he had brought, pretended to be riding a horse, opened the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out of the yard.
It penetrated directly through the window, causing a buzzing explosion.
Immediately, Xu Qing grabbed the ground with his toes, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and his whole body flew out like an arrow. The arrow he shot earlier left a pool of blood in front of him. Xu Qing kept walking, stepping on the roofs of this area and quickly chased him out, constantly traveling through the downtown area, leaving afterimages.
In the end, it was like a gust of wind chasing outside the city and arriving at the Blackwater Lake.
Xu Qing calmly looked ahead at the lake. A small boat appeared, and an embarrassed figure climbed onto the boat.
Xu Qing's eyesight was so good that he saw the blood stains on his body. At the same time, he also saw a middle-aged man wearing a raincoat standing on the boat.
He could see that this coir raincoat was woven entirely from the finest coirnet silk, and it could shield his soul perception, which showed that it was a rare robe.
What made Xu Qing feel even more horrified was that the other party seemed to be integrated into the lake, regardless of each other.
He knows that this is the most powerful "enemy" he has encountered since he became successful in martial arts and Taoism.
Xu Qing did not turn around and leave, because the opponent's Qi was locked on him. If he left at this time, he would expose a flaw that others could take advantage of.
Xu Qing is not afraid. He has already cultivated the Innate Finger. No matter what, he can create an opportunity to retreat to the city. When the time comes, he can escape to Fang Yuan. No matter who is the most powerful figure in the world, he will not be able to kill him.
He did not come to Yingtian Mansion for nothing!
The existence of Mr. Fang Ge is also the reason why Xu Qing stayed in Yingtian Mansion during this period.
There are too many things wrong with him, and you need to be more cautious during this period to prevent being attacked and assassinated.
Moreover, Mr. Fang Ge will definitely be able to sense the power of blood and soul inspired by the martial arts and Taoist confrontation.
What's more, in this short period of time, Xu Qing had already determined the identity of the other party. Considering the information he had received, he concluded that the other party was definitely not here in person.
Therefore, although the realm shown by the other party is terrifying, the real strength may not be much stronger than Xu Qing's current strength.
Xu Qing kept his mind calm and secretly controlled the mahogany sword. At the same time, he transferred his energy and blood, ready to send out his innate fingers at any time.
On the lake, the man wearing a raincoat in the boat did not have any oars or other equipment in his hands. The boat under his feet seemed to be driven by an invisible force and slowly sailed towards Xu Qing. Singing:
"There are cypresses on the green mausoleum, and stones in the Leilei stream. Life in the world is like a traveler from afar..."
This is one of the nineteen ancient poems. The charm of life being short and impermanent floats on the lake. Even the birds passing by are affected by the emotion and make sad calls...
Xu Qing was especially affected. .
Because life is short and things are unpredictable, this is the biggest worry in his heart.
King Kong Bell!
Xu Qing shook the diamond bell without hesitation, peeling off his sad emotions, and looked at the visitor with bright eyes, "As the leader of Luo Jiao, do you only know these trivial skills?"
In his voice, the thunder of tigers and leopards erupted, rippling the lake surface.
The terrifying soul power burst out, setting off waves in front of the boat, stopping the boat's forward momentum.
"Leader, he knows the sound of tigers, leopards and thunder, and has the concept of the five demon gods." On the boat, the figure who had just boarded the boat from the water said with a solemn expression.
There was an arrow wound on his arm, which was caused by Xu Qing earlier.
After this painstaking sacrifice, Jiangning Mansion has been severely damaged, and it has finally recovered a little strength. This time it was injured by Xu Qing, and it is basically useless.
However, the longer a master of possession lives, the more distracted he becomes, and the more powerful he becomes, to the point where his true body cannot even be found.
Taoist masters at this level are almost difficult to kill.
On the other hand, normally, the more distractions you have, the easier it is for you to lose control of your emotions and fall into madness. If you cannot crack the ghost and fairy level, you may not be able to live to the end of your life.
Of course, there are also some magical and secret techniques that can reduce the side effects of possession and distraction, but the scarcity of such magical powers is no less than that of the Zhoutian Star God Contemplation level.
The man in coir raincoat on the boat looked at Xu Qing on the shore, stopped singing, smiled slowly, and said slowly: "Since Xu Jieyuan has cultivated the concept of the five demon gods, he should be one of my generation. What's more, Jiangning The Xu family has the blood of our predecessors.”
"What?" Xu Qing was shocked.
The man in coir raincoat smiled: "It seems that Xu Jieyuan doesn't know about this yet. You might as well come on the boat and I will tell you."
His tone was soft and not aggressive at all.
"Okay." Xu Qing responded, raised his feet, and walked towards the lake without any support.
Boom!
I saw the water waves on the lake explode, and Xu Qing was like a swimming dragon, heading towards the boat on the lake.
Bagua Youlongbu!
The combination of law and martial arts!
This is the first time that Xu Qing has used the unique skill of combining magic and martial arts, "Bagua Wandering Dragon Palm", to others.
Under the explosion of energy and blood, the Bagua Dragon Step made Xu Qing step on the lake for a short time.
To the people on the boat, it was like seeing the magical power of a Taoist spider treading water.
At such a young age, such cultivation is rare in the world.
Every time Xu Qing takes a step on the lake, his momentum increases by one point.
Faced with Xu Qing’s shocking blows that continued to gather momentum.
The man in the coir raincoat stretched out his palm, like white jade, as if it were boneless, without being careless, bursting out powerful energy and blood at the Zang training level, as well as terrifying soul power.
hiss!
His palms seemed to have a layer of snake-shaped energy formed by the power of blood and soul. The fingertips trembled and pointed in any direction covered by Xu Qing's palm.
When Xu Qing was about half a foot away from him, the palm of the man in the raincoat came first, and his fingertips were like a poisonous snake spitting messages, aiming for Xu Qing's throat.
His move was both strange and dangerous, and he didn't care that Xu Qing's palm that gathered momentum would hit his vitals.
This is a strategy of perish together.
But it is also the most terrifying place for masters of possession.
Because this is just the distraction of the other party's possession. Whether it is the physical body or the soul, even if it is destroyed, it is not unbearable.
And Xu Qing is his own body. Once he is seriously injured, it will be tragic.
This is like doing business. They take the gross profit and your principal to fight losses.
Seeing this, Xu Qing didn't care at all and allowed the serpentine energy to bite his throat like a poisonous snake spitting a message. But when Snake Xin was about to kill Xu Qing, Xu Qing's palm suddenly stopped his momentum and moved sideways.
The man in coir raincoat's snake-shaped cone force immediately failed.
But he was not surprised. It was strange that Xu Qing did not dodge.
But, in an instant, the expression of the man in coir raincoat changed slightly.
Because Xu Qing's figure was sideways, his target was the distracted body of Dharma King Golden Centipede next to the man in coir raincoat.
Bang bang bang!
This palm, with its rapid changes and smooth power, is like a waterfall rushing down, out of control.
Dharma King Golden Centipede was distracted and his whole body shook violently.
Xu Qing's palm was not a magic weapon, but the transformed dark energy destroyed his already injured body in an instant.
He was spitting blood and his expression was declining.
The distraction just escaped from the body.
Three demon gods suddenly appeared.
Vajra King, Shura King, Yaksha King.
The three demon gods at the visible level directly tore the already damaged distraction of Dharma King Golden Centipede into pieces.
“Hey.”
The man in the coir raincoat did not expect that Xu Qing’s target was actually the distraction of Dharma King Jin Centi. When he realized it, he was already a step too late.
This was because he didn't want to kill Xu Qing, leaving Xu Qing with a chance to be distracted by killing Dharma King Golden Centipede.
The man in the coir raincoat made an angry sound and waved his sleeves.
The coir raincoat emits a strange light, like an arrow bursting out. In an instant, it shoots through the three demon gods, and the demon gods' manifest illusions immediately disintegrate.
At this time, Xu Qing kept retreating, causing heavy waves, and returned to the shore.
The man in coir raincoat looked calm, ignoring the distracted body of King Centipede and letting it fall into the lake. The boat under his feet shot towards Xu Qing like an arrow from the string.
He knew in his heart that the time gap left for him was very short. If he could not surrender Xu Qing in a short time and take the initiative in this operation, Fang Lao'er would probably come over.
Unfortunately, if he came here in his true form, Xu Qing would have been captured by him.
But his true form did not dare to come to Yingtian Mansion or even to the surrounding areas dozens of miles away, lest he be noticed by Mr. Fang and lock his soul for thousands of miles, unable to escape.
Xu Qing laughed loudly, "Master, there is no need to send him far."
He retreated faster and faster.
The man in coir raincoat couldn't help but be anxious. Once Xu Qing was allowed to enter the city and blend in with the crowd, and with the presence of old man Fang in the city, there would be no chance of catching him.
“Wait a minute!”
The ground beneath the coir raincoat man’s feet seemed to shrink, and he left the boat, suddenly closing the distance to Xu Qing.
Shrink to an inch!
At this time, a sword light came towards me.
"Peach Blossom Divine Sword." The man in coir raincoat naturally recognized that this was the sacred weapon of the Lotus Sect.
Xu Qing calls it the Peach Wood Sword, while the Luo Sect and the Lotus Sect call it the Peach Blossom Sword.
"Fix." The man in coir raincoat's tongue burst out with spring thunder, and his words followed the law, freezing the light of the peach wood sword.
And in an instant, the person was within a short distance of Xu Qing.
He grabbed Xu Qing's chest.
Xu Qing did not dodge, but stopped abruptly and pointed out a finger that had been charging for a long time.
“Innate Finger!”
A shocking thought flashed through the heart of the man in the raincoat.
