Chapter 16: The Sword Immortal in Trouble and the Evil Female Demon
The cold moonlight shines in the sky, illuminating the ancient stone wall covered with vines. ♦♦ ♦♦
Outside the stone wall are two grooves that look like the impact of a meteor hitting a dense forest. They extend to the foot of the stone wall. One has already shown signs of age and is covered with dead grass and vines, while the other shows freshly turned soil.
Amid the cries of black crows at night, several big-eyed lemurs hold vines and look down at the dents on the stone wall and the man and woman in the dents.
The man is wearing a white robe, with the sleeve of his right arm shattered and his body in tatters. He looks quite embarrassed. He lies on the woman and is hugged by her hands.
The woman is wearing a white long dress embroidered with plum blossoms. She lies on the ground with blood on her right shoulder. Her gentle face is slightly pale. She is silent, but her hands are intertwined with her fingers, tightly clasping the man's waist, and she has not let go until this moment.
"Cough-cough..."
After an unknown amount of time, two muffled coughs from the man sounded.
Zuo Lingquan had a splitting headache. As his consciousness returned to its place, the first feeling he had was that he was soft and pressed on someone. The woman's hair was next to his ear, and a faint plum fragrance came from it.
Although he was not fully awake yet and his eyelids were heavy and difficult to open, the memories just now flooded into his mind, and Zuo Lingquan guessed where he was at the first time.
If you covet the power of the ancient gods, you will eventually become a slave of the ancient gods.
The Taiyin God opened the door again...
Zuo Lingquan opened his eyes and saw the familiar long night and dead wood and stone walls around him. He felt a little speechless about his obsession with the ancient gods.
Fortunately, this time, he was familiar with the road and did not have to face unknown dangers. This place outside the world could not trap him. As long as he was given a Taoist partner, he could go anywhere in the world...
Pop...
His thoughts gradually became clear, and Zuo Lingquan remembered more. He quickly propped up his body, but found that his waist was still tightly hugged.
Turning his head, he saw a pale face, with delicate eyebrows slightly frowned, red lips without any color, and no breath fluctuations.
"Mei Xianjun?"
Zuo Lingquan was startled, and quickly raised his hand to feel Mei Jinshui's neck pulse, and patted his fair cheek twice.
Pah, pah…
"Mei Xianjun?!"
After a while, Mei Jinshui's eyelashes moved, and then her cheeks quickly regained their color and softness. She opened her eyes and looked at Zuo Lingquan who was close at hand. Then she looked down at the flattened Tuan'er, and her first words were:
"You are very heavy, you know? No wonder you were unconscious just now, and you always felt short of breath."
Zuo Lingquan breathed a long sigh of relief, supported the ground with both hands, and said helplessly:
"You hold me, I can't get up. How is the injury? Is your shoulder okay?"
Mei Jinshui was slightly injured, but Qinglong's recovery ability was too strong. The wound on his shoulder had disappeared, leaving only a few bruises, and his hands had returned to whiteness without any marks.
Mei Jinshui loosened his clasped fingers, lifted Zuo Lingquan, saw the familiar night view in the sky, took a breath gently, and shrugged slightly:
"Oh~"
Zuo Lingquan was not injured, but he had just survived the tribulation and fought again, so his body was very weak. He sat up beside her, took out various pills, and comforted her:
"Don't worry, Mei Xianjun. You suffered a loss last time. I have prepared a large amount of supplies in Linglong Pavilion, enough to repair several houses for hundreds of years. When your injuries are almost healed, we will start practicing and fly back directly."
Mei Jinshui was lying on the ground, too lazy to get up. She raised her hand and slightly tightened the collar of her white skirt, with a meaningful look in her eyes:
"Practice? Are you going to take advantage of the situation to defile me?"
"..."
Zuo Lingquan was speechless when he saw this familiar teasing expression, but he was just protected by Mei Jinshui at the cost of her life, so he couldn't say she didn't respect herself at this time, so he shook his head and said:
"What defilement. Mei Xianjun, what do you mean by defilement? Wouldn't you lend me the magic to convert spiritual energy? We can go back by practicing normally, don't think too much. "
Mei Jinshui smiled and looked at the moonlight in the sky:
"Zuo Lingquan, have you forgotten who I am?"
"Hmm?" Zuo Lingquan handed Mei Jinshui various powerful spiritual medicines, a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"I am an evil demon, not your confidante or companion in distress. Good and evil cannot coexist. If you want me to accompany you to practice and send you back, you may be thinking too much. "
Mei Jinshui sat up slowly, raised his hand and waved it lightly to dispel the blood on his sleeves, and stood up and walked towards the Taoist temple hall behind.
Zuo Lingquan followed with a sword in hand, somewhat puzzled: "Good and evil are good and evil, you should recover from your injury and go back, right? If you don't practice with me, you can't go back either."
Mei Jinshui came to the hall where Yu Tang had slept before, took out a blanket and sat on it, with a faint smile on his face:
"What am I going back for? If nothing unexpected happens, Teng Sheng has been killed by Yu Tang now, and the 'Taiyin Divine Envoy' who can open the way to immortality is in front of me. I have no worries, and I have the sword of opening the sky by my side. Why don't I poke the sky open while no one is disturbing me and go back to fight?"
"......?!"
Zuo Lingquan, who had just sat down, moved After a pause, his face changed. After a little thought, his eyes became serious:
"Mei Xianjun, don't have these crooked ideas, it will ruin our relationship. I don't want to do anything to you, let alone help you open the way to immortality."
"Hehe~"
Mei Jinshui held a strand of hair by her ear with her fingers, her smile was both good and evil, revealing the confidence that "Shui'er has a hundred ways to sleep with you":
"I have made up my mind. Without my help, you can't go back. It's best if you cooperate. We are still friends. If you don't cooperate, I don't mind using the tricks of a witch to test your Tao heart."
Zuo Lingquan sat upright and said seriously:
"I have an iron heart. No matter what method you use, I can't be persuaded by you..."
"Really?" Mei Jinshui bit her lower lip and tilted her head to look at Zuo Lingquan.
? !
Zuo Lingquan felt that Mei Jinshui was attacking his weak point. He looked away and said righteously:
"Yutang can definitely guess where I've landed. It won't take long for Tuanzi to pick me up. You can't threaten me. Also, I will record all your words and deeds now and use them as evidence in court in the future. Show it to Yingying, so Mei Xianjun better respect yourself."
Mei Jinshui lay down on the blanket, crossed her legs, and looked calmly:
"Yingying hopes that something will happen between you and me so that we can go back and live with her. Having two immortal kings as your lovely wife and concubine, you are the only one in the history. Do you really not want to consider such a fulfilling thing?"
Zuo Lingquan shook his head seriously: "The word "love" comes from the heart. It is understandable that Mei Xianjun is interested in me. If Mei Xianjun has no intention of me, but has the intention to seduce me, and regards this as a bargaining chip to achieve his goal, no matter what It’s disrespectful to me and to yourself.”
Mei Jinshui nodded slightly: "I think so too."
"That's alright. Master Mei Xian, please stop saying such childish words. I can't help you open the path to immortality just because of your beauty. Even if you think about it, you don't even bother to use seduction to achieve your goal."
Mei Jinshui turned around and lay on her side, smiling and saying:
"That's okay. Then let's talk about relationships first. When the relationship is in place, we can then talk about these things about helping each other."
?
Zuo Lingquan was stunned: "Mei Xianjun, you and I have no intention of each other, why are we talking about feelings?"
"Oh, relationships are all about talking. There are only a few people in the world who fall in love at first sight. I don't like you now. If you are thick-skinned and show off, you might fall in love..."
? ?
Zuo Lingquan spread his hands slightly: "Why? I have no interest in you, why should I pursue you shamelessly? Just because you are beautiful and have good moral practices, you are an immortal king? Yutang is also an immortal king, I have been content for a long time..."
Mei Jinshui blinked: "Then it's me who pursues you? A woman chasing a man, wearing a veil, this is too unchallenging."
Zuo Lingquan was slightly unhappy: "Mei Xianjun, don't underestimate my determination. I'm not that easy to chase. I've met so many women along the way..."
"In the end, except for the unattractive ones and married women, they all became your Taoist companions. I feel like I don't like either of them, so you have no reason to refuse."
Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth, unable to refute.
Mei Jinshui sighed faintly: "You said, you agreed as soon as I pursued you, but I didn't care about you in my heart. It was so embarrassing for the two of us. It would be easier for you to pursue me. I would definitely be tempted if I agreed, and You can be tempted at any time..."
Zuo Lingquan couldn't listen anymore and said seriously:
"Mei Xianjun, your words are really a bit ridiculous, and you don't respect me at all. Although I am lustful, I do it in a proper way. I only lust after the women I like, and I will only keep a distance from the women I don't care about..."
Mei Jinshui didn't even listen. He took out a brand new picture album from his arms and opened a page:
"Suddenly I discovered that this book is quite realistic. The sanctimonious tone and demeanor are exactly the same as in the book..."
"..."
Zuo Lingquan looked at his dark history and felt that he could no longer talk about it. He stood up and said:
"I'm going out for a walk. Mei Xianjun has figured it out. Let's start practicing and prepare to turn back. If we don't think clearly, we'll just wait for Tuanzi to come. When the time comes, you'll be too angry to follow me shamelessly. I don't care how embarrassed you are. ”
When Mei Jinshui saw Zuo Lingquan running away to avoid the fight, he slowly stood up and followed behind:
"The time has come, and it is only a matter of time that the Path of Immortality is opened. Let's get it done now, and wait until the balance of the Nine Continents is restored, and then block the Path of Immortality. Then it will be another ten thousand years of peace..."
Mei Jinshui's footsteps were weak. Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a while but still didn't think about carrying it, and walked forward without looking back:
"The Tao of Immortality is not a door to the house. It can be opened or closed at any time. Jiuzhou is at peace now. Who knows what will happen when it is opened? Even if there is no accident, cutting off the Tao of Immortality will kill people. This person must be one of the Immortal Lords. Most likely it’s Yutang…”
"I opened it, so of course I'll close it, so you don't have to worry about it."
"..."
Zuo Lingquan paused and turned around: "Mei Jinshui, if you continue to act your own way, I will fall out. You are Master Yingying. She treats you like a mother. She will die for the sake of the great road. Do you have any Have you ever thought about Yingying’s feelings?”
Mei Jinshui sighed quietly: "People will eventually escape into reincarnation, and their death must be worth something. I have lived too long, and living now has no other meaning except restoring the balance of heaven and earth. If I finish it earlier, I will be able to die sooner." Reincarnation. You can’t convince me just by asking me to change my mind without taking action or adding something new to my heart.”
"What new thing are you going to add?"
"What I like is nothing more than music and poetry. If you hang me with these things, I will definitely be reluctant to die early and be reborn. Or maybe I haven't experienced the love of a husband and a concubine. If you capture my heart, people say I fall in love." If a woman is irrational, I might give up on my path and follow you..."
Okay, the topic has come back again.
Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth, but had nothing to say, so he shook his head and walked forward.
Seeing Zuo Lingquan's resolute attitude, Mei Jinshui fell into a bit of a dilemma. After thinking for a while, he took out the book and read the plot to see what kind of sexy words Mei used to seduce the Righteous Sword Immortal.
Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to say. He even took a sneak peek along the way. As a result, he found that this copied miscellaneous book actually had illustrations on it!
Unfortunately, he was discovered before he could take a closer look.
Mei Jinshui tilted the book and looked playful:
"Want to see?"
Zuo Lingquan snorted lightly and acted like a righteous swordsman:
"You are really boring. According to the content of this book, if you can deal with me, why would the good and evil have been in opposition for a thousand years."
"It's just a reference. Anyway, there's nothing wrong here, and you can't run away. Try it slowly, maybe it will work..."
"Wait."
"Huh?" Mei Jinshui looked at the book and didn't notice anything unusual. He looked up at Zuo Lingquan: "What's the matter?"
Zuo Lingquan stood in the dense forest, looking up at the depths of the northern continent, carefully sensing for a long time, with a serious expression :
"Something is wrong. The last time I was here, I felt the Taiyin divine power was very stable. Now...now it is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and there seems to be a living thing over there."
"Living thing?"
Mei Jinshui could not feel the breath of the Sun God, and after careful exploration, she did not find anything unusual. She frowned and said:
"Could it be that the Demon Suppression Tower I built did not lock the remains of the Heavenly Demon?"
Zuo Lingquan shook his head, and he had some guesses in his mind that he could not say directly - he clearly felt that the breath of the Taiyin God had become stronger. Based on his understanding of the seal, this situation was definitely not the damage of the Demon Suppression Tower, but the loosening of the seal of the Taiyin God.
And from his perception, this loosening seemed to be man-made.
"Mei Xianjun, tell me the truth, have you made any backup plans? After killing Teng Sheng, have you come here privately to open the way to immortality?"
Mei Jinshui blinked: "Of course I have. I can't tell you the truth, but I can't come here so quickly. There are definitely only you and me here."
Zuo Lingquan was silent for a while. He wanted to go to the place where the Demon Suppression Tower was located, but after thinking about it, he turned back and pulled Mei Jinshui's sleeve to the old Taoist temple:
"Practice and replenish your Qi Sea quickly. There may be another remnant of the Heavenly Demon that escaped. If you encounter , we will definitely die. "
Mei Jinshui was dragged away, looking back at the depths of the northern continent, a little puzzled:
"Impossible. The remains of the Taotie have been broken into pieces. Even if they didn't die and escaped, they couldn't recover in such a short time in the land of eternal night. As for the other demons, I checked, they are all dead..."
Speaking of this, Mei Jinshui suddenly remembered that before the remains of the Taotie were on the verge of death, they rushed to the seal at the risk of their lives, issued several attacks, and then turned around and looked at them with contempt and ridicule.
Based on the situation at the time, the remains of the Taotie could not open the seal. They just thought it was an insane act when they were desperate, and the contemptuous eyes afterwards were naturally regarded as "the momentum of the dead is not defeated".
There are living creatures over there...
The aura of Taiyin God Lord fluctuated...
After a brief consideration, Mei Jinshui's eyes changed slightly. Without saying much, he took out a small cave from his sleeve, brought Zuo Lingquan to the Qi training room, sprinkled a large number of white jade beads, and then sat cross-legged.
The two sat cross-legged facing each other. Although they did not speak, they looked at each other's eyes and guessed what they were thinking. In the end, Zuo Lingquan asked:
"Can the seal of the Longevity Path be opened from the 'outside world'?"
"Jiuzhou is essentially no different from the 'cave heaven', but it is self-contained and can support the operation of the laws of heaven. Cutting off the Longevity Path should cut off the connection with the outside world and become a 'Lost Cave Heaven' like the Qilin Cave in Dongzhou. Under normal circumstances, the outside world can't find the entrance at all, so they can't get in. If someone sends a message from the inside to let the outside world determine the location coordinates, practitioners who are familiar with the laws of space can theoretically rebuild the bridge."
"..."
Zuo Lingquan fell silent, and the atmosphere in the Qi training room became unusually heavy.
After all, if this speculation is true, the current situation is no longer whether or not to open the longevity path, but a huge monster of unknown origin is "opening the door and picking the lock" outside the world, spying on everything on the land of Jiuzhou.
And this news about the lives of billions of people in Jiuzhou cannot be sent out at this time, and only the two of them can respond.
Zuo Lingquan sat cross-legged in front of Mei Jinshui, raised his palms, put them together with her, and whispered:
"Don't be nervous, think about everything in a positive way, what if Xiao Qingming is not dead."
"He..."
"It is also possible that the old ancestor of the Styx River defected from the righteous way. He and Xiao Qingming are half fellow villagers, and both have the word "Ming" in their names. It is possible that he secretly ran over to open the longevity path."
"Don't talk, calm down. Now I just hope that Tuanzi will fly faster. I don't want to prepare for the fight against the demons for my whole life, and die with you before I can exert my full strength."
"You mean I want to die with you..."
