Chapter 4: The Tempest and Rain Destroyed the Temple
Early on the next morning, Tang Yuan packed the dry food into a green bamboo box and embarked on the journey again.
It is almost late autumn, but the sun at noon is still very fierce, and the power of the autumn tiger is even more powerful than that of midsummer.
Tang Yuan had no choice but to put two pieces of dark blue cloth on top of the bamboo box to make a simple sunscreen.
It is a pity that in a land like Northern Xinjiang where there are no spiritual beings, even spiritual energy like Ziwu Tiangang is very rare. Refining it can only be said to be better than nothing, far less beneficial than the Jinjin Jade Liquid.
"I can only practice by eating." Tang Yuan sighed and took a big bite of the rice cake. "Instead of the vitality elixir in Taoism, it would be good to give me some Ganoderma lucidum and Huangjing."
As long as he completes the foundation building and enters the Qi refining realm, Tang Yuan can start refining the elixir on his own. After all, As the Lord of Demons, even if he only has a rough understanding of the alchemy and talismans, he is still a master-level attainment.
Although he has only refined human elixirs, blood elixirs, and soul elixirs in his previous life, they must be very different from the Taoist spiritual elixirs...
So the foundation building step is up to you. It is the reincarnation of the Dao Lord and the rebirth of the Demon Lord. They also need a little polishing, and no tricks can be used.
Unless... to seize the body and devour the Tao foundation that others have refined.
Dozens of witchcraft and tricks that could be performed without mana or divine thoughts flashed through Tang Yuan's mind.
"Let's go on our way honestly. The cultivation supplies in the city should be more complete, and even if they are not good, there will be a lot of delicious food."
Thinking like this, Tang Yuan I speeded up my journey and passed by a small town in the afternoon. I just replenished some food and hurried on the road again. However, I didn't expect that the next town was surprisingly far away. It was three o'clock in the morning and I still hadn't seen him.
Tang Yuan tightened his clothes. The temperature was completely different from that at noon.
After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, a ruined temple in the wilderness came into view of Tang Yuan.
He looked back and forth before stepping in with a smile.
When they arrived at the temple, there was a pile of burned firewood. Tang Yuan found some more firewood, lit the fire, put the bedding away, built a comfortable little bed, and lay down on it. .
At this time, Tang Yuan naturally didn't sleep at all. He just closed his eyes to transport the fetal breath and purify the Tao base.
After a while, there was a loud noise in my ears, and suddenly there was heavy rain.
"Okay, all the elements are in place." Tang Yuan thought in his heart.
The sound of rain mixed with the sound of horse hooves and footsteps.
A big man in riding uniform walked in first. After seeing the light of the fire and Tang Yuan next to him, he waved his hand to signal the people behind him to follow.
The rest of the people filed in, they were the same group of Jianghu people that they had seen at the inn before.
The woman walked to the fire raised by Tang Yuan and asked softly: "Can you give us a firewood? Our firewood was soaked by the heavy rain and could not be ignited for a while."< br>
Tang Yuan said lazily: "Take one for yourself."
When the woman heard this, she recognized Tang Yuan, and immediately stood there in shock. Although they didn't hurry up, they didn't stop much before they got here.
And the little brother in front of me was faster than them on horseback with just one pair of legs! ?
"Thank you...Thank you, senior."
The woman carefully pulled out a piece of firewood from the edge, and slowly and silently stepped back.
She made a silent gesture to the rude men, and raised another fire in a corner far away from Tang Yuan.
"Someone is here again, it's really lively." Tang Yuan thought to himself.
After a while, accompanied by curses and complaints, two men walked straight in.
One is a middle-aged man with a dark face and a short beard and a sinister appearance. He is about 20 years old, wearing a black robe, and his face is pale.
Both of them were filled with ghostly and turbid aura, and they were actually two accomplished demon monks.
But looking at their mixed auras, it is obvious that they are top-notch casual cultivators who have not received the true inheritance.
After the two of them entered the temple, they looked around. First they saw the group of wanderers. Seeing that they were all ordinary people, they stopped caring.
He turned to look at Tang Yuan again. It was still very suspicious that a half-year-old child appeared here alone. But after careful inspection, the two of them didn't see anything strange, and they relaxed a little.
The young man glanced at the woman, his eyes brightened, and he thought: "Today is my luck. I just took shelter from the rain, but I can still see such a superb thing."
He turned to look at the middle-aged man, and seeing that he had the same look on his face, the two of them smiled knowingly.
He walked to the group of Jianghu guests and said with a smile: "Can you two of us also warm up by the fire? The heavy rain just now soaked us."
The woman said softly: "When we travel around the world, we naturally have to take care of each other. Wang Wu will make some room for them."
The big man in riding clothes leaned towards the woman, and several people enveloped her faintly. In the middle, when moving, there was the sound of the scabbard scraping.
Looking at the vigilant looks of these people, both of them felt funny. How could a few ordinary people block the monk's methods no matter how well prepared they were?
“But this mortal woman is even more attractive when you look closer!” A trace of evil desire flashed in the eyes of the young demon cultivator, “Why don’t we make her body into a Mummy, enjoy it a few more times.”
Seeing the two men's eyes scanning her body more and more unscrupulously, the woman felt uncomfortable all over and could not help but move back.
But the big man in furs shouted directly: "You two, it's better not to glance around, so as not to cause trouble."
The woman just wanted to grab him, But it was already half a step too slow.
The two looked at each other and laughed strangely: "I want to see what kind of trouble it can cause!"
The young man actually summoned gusts of evil wind with his pinch. , there is an old evil ghost with a droopy tongue looming in the wind.
"Immortal...immortal master!"
The woman exclaimed, and at the same time her heart sank to the bottom of the sea. The worst consequences appeared. These two people were not warriors in the world, but immortal masters with rare traces.
She held on and said: "My fool was ignorant and bumped into the two immortal masters. The little girl apologized to them for him." After saying that, she bowed deeply.
When the two men saw the woman's bent waist, their eyes became even more wanton, and they smiled wildly: "What are you saying, little lady, if you sincerely apologize, what if we let that fool go free just once?" ?”
As he spoke, he touched the woman with his hand.
Feeling that the hand was about to fall, the woman couldn't bear it anymore, got up and hid.
The two men's expressions darkened, and they said sinisterly: "I think your apology is not very sincere!"
The long-tongued ghost rushed over in the dark wind.
"Fight with this thief!" The big fur man broke free from his companions and was the first to pull out the knife.
Seeing this, the woman was determined to die and showed a dagger.
The other people also swish their swords a few times,
It is said that people are afraid of ghosts three points, and ghosts are afraid of people seventy points.
These people are all martial arts practitioners and have plenty of energy. The long-tongued ghost was also frightened and stagnated slightly.
But the ghost was controlled by someone after all, and it just waved its tongue and attacked someone again in an instant.
The man's kung fu was also extraordinary, and he even raised his sword with both hands to block the blow.
When the other people saw this, they became even more brave. The tigers and tigers wielding their swords were so powerful that they beat the long-tongued ghost back steadily.
One of them smiled and said: "This demon's method is nothing more than this. Look, I took the heads off their necks."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his body softening. He collapsed on the ground, and the long-tongued ghost rolled his tongue and pulled him back into the dark wind.
The miserable wailing sound was accompanied by the sound of chewing, and it seemed that there was no way to survive.
At this time, the other people also felt that they could not do anything.
"This person in the devil's path is really despicable." Tang Yuan lay there and commented, "To deal with a group of mortals, they are still drugging the wind. I don't even bother to be associated with them!"
"So that you will understand. , there is rosemary powder in the wind, the harder you exert, the faster you will die."
"Of course, when the little lady struggles for a while, the effect of the medicine will not be triggered," the young man added. .
The woman's eyes were filled with despair. Suddenly she glanced at Tang Yuan who was still lying there. She bit her lip and shouted: "Senior, please help me this time. The little woman replied I will give you a big gift at home."
When the two people heard this, they looked at Tang Yuan defensively. There are many old monsters in the practice who prefer to dress like boys.
"If they know each other..." The two frowned in thought.
"Why do you call me so familiar? When did I become your senior?"
The woman felt despair in her heart. It seemed that this person didn't want to wade into this troubled water. It's also common sense. If someone doesn't know you, why should they take risks to save you?
When the fur man heard this, his eyes were as angry as fire and he said: "I offended you before, so I will use my life to exchange for you to save my young lady's life!"
After that! , actually stabbed the sword directly into his body.
Tang Yuan just felt confused, "Who are you? Why did you exchange one life for another? You must be a fool!"
He couldn't understand the simple values of these knights and knights, why did he do it now? How about saving this woman’s life?
At this time, a burst of black mist emerged, covering the entire ruined temple. The dilapidated statue on the shrine suddenly moved, and a loud voice sounded, "How dare Xiao Xiao dare to sit on the throne of this god?" Let’s fight!”
