Chapter 7 The Punishment for Failure
Chapter 7 Punishment of Failure
Qianshan Ridge is located in the southwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The entire mountain range is as huge and winding as a giant dragon, spanning the entire north and south coastline.
Near the end of the south, Santou River converges here, forming a mysterious array eye, which can be described as a craftsmanship of Feng Shui treasure land.
In addition, Qianshanling has many crystal mines, even more than one spiritual stone mine, with abundant resources and has always been a strategic fortress for the competition among major sects.
It’s a pity that since the passing of the previous abbot of Shaogang Temple, Master Benxuan, the overall strength of Shaogang Temple has suddenly slid. In Qianshanling, the largest spiritual stone crystal mine can no longer be preserved.
The most powerful sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty is the Lingkong Hall where Xie Potian defected. The head of the Lingkong Hall, Lingkong Taoist, is in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and is a well-deserved giant slaughter in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!
If it weren't for the death of Master Benxuan of Shaogang Temple, who left a few relics, I'm afraid Shaogang Temple would not have even been able to keep the title of the second largest sect.
The third largest sect is Danyang Pavilion, but Danyang Pavilion has always maintained a neutral attitude and has good friendships with major sects. As many as 60% of all the pills circulating in the market and markets come from Danyang Pavilion, so no one will easily offend such a sect.
The last sect that ranked fourth in the first place was Fenghuan Valley, which is very similar to Danyang Pavilion. The Fenghuan Valley sect is a sect that mainly uses talismans, formations, and spiritual patterns, but its sects have always followed the heads of the Lingkong Hall.
Especially in recent years, with the decline of Shaogang Temple and the prosperity of Lingkong Hall, the status of Fenghuan Valley has also increased. It is very domineering in speaking and doing things. It often robs resources and beats the children of other sects for no reason.
...
The stars are dark and the cold wind is like a knife.
At this moment, in a small valley in the southern part of Qianshanling, two mysterious men in black were walking among them.
In such a dark night, there are dangers everywhere, and you still dare to appear here. Even if you are not an extraordinary person, you are still a person with extraordinary courage!
But what is strange is that when it is closer, the walking posture and speed of these two mysterious men in black are really slow.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why are you holding me?" Kong Yuan swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly.
"boom!"
Another earth-shaking and deafening sound came, causing the two of them to hug each other quickly.
Looking at the small ruined temple with flames soaring into the sky, the two of them were really frightened and very scared.
"Brother Kong, do you think the three of them can succeed? It's almost two hours long, right? If they don't succeed, can we really die here?" Zhang Mingzhi asked in disarray.
Especially the horrifying scene just now, if Kong Yuan hadn't pulled him, he would have been stamped to death by the toad spirit like a meat mountain.
"It should...is no problem." Kong Yuan replied absent-mindedly, but his voice became smaller and smaller.
Seeing the strength of the toad spirit just now, Kong Yuan was getting more and more panicked now. He still didn't know who could have such strength to bring him silently from home to this place where birds do not shit.
Their Kong family is one of the best big families in Lanyun Kingdom. His father Kong Shoulong has the cultivation level of the early stage of the Golden Pill. He really can't figure out which enemy can have such terrifying strength.
What a shitty Qianshanling, he has never heard of it since he was a child.
"Or why don't we go over and take a look?" Zhang Mingzhi let go of his hands that were grabbing Kong Yuan's clothes and suggested.
Kong Yuan's expression was gloomy and he was not convinced.
After a while, the two of them rustled towards the small ruined temple. Suddenly, the two new "rookies" could only hold each other together to keep warm.
As the small ruined temple was approaching, there was a sudden "boom" and then a violent shaking of the mountain.
The small dilapidated temple in front of the two was actually "exploded" and completely turned into a pile of ruins.
"you!"
An extremely angry voice came from a distance, and Kong Yuan immediately recognized that this voice was the old woman with a bad temper before.
And in the ruins of the small ruined temple, Lin Li also looked at the childish woman with a complicated face.
I saw that the five formation flags that were supposed to be trapped on Xie Potian were now broken and fell to the ground. One side had no idea where it flew, and the other was blown to pieces on the spot.
The two array flags that fell to the ground had several holes of different sizes on them, which were very eye-catching, as if they were burned down by fire. Around the hole, a trace of thunder and lightning was still generated from time to time, surrounding it, and it seemed that it was like trying to repair it by itself.
At this point, the Tongyin woman knew that she had caused a big disaster and stood there motionlessly.
The black robe on the old woman's body was broken, and half of the white mask was missing. The exposed chin and neck were very white, and it seemed that they were no more than twenty years old.
"You are waiting to be punished by the ancestor!" The old woman said this hatefully and ran towards the dense forest without looking back.
Lin Li recalled the crazy way of the evil and the sky just died together, and still felt a little scared.
A stick of incense was before, Xie Potian took advantage of the soft-heartedness of the childish woman and even exploded the first-level top-level magic weapon "Cicada Pearl", which caused the damage to the "Five Elements Colorful Clouds".
The huge explosion not only broke the small ruined temple, but even Lin Li and others were shocked and dizzy. When they stood up, there was no trace of evil and poaching the sky.
Before Lin Li could comfort the girl with a childish voice, his eyes suddenly turned black, and his head could not stop dizzying. When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the monk's house in the Servant House.
The wound on Lin Li's palm has recovered as before. If it weren't for the remaining blood, he wouldn't be sure if it was Nan Ke's dream just now.
The mission failed, and the punishment of the "master behind the scenes" will definitely not be absent. Lin Li is now cold, afraid that he will become the next target of punishment.
After waiting for a full ten years, it was difficult to lure the energy into the body and become an immortal cultivator. If Lin Li rushed to the underworld now, he would not be willing to do anything.
Time passed by, and the punishment of the "master behind the scenes" has not arrived for a long time, but Lin Li's double eyelids have become "fighted". The battle at the small ruined temple just now made him sleepy and tired.
I don’t know how long it took, but in a daze, a fury wail suddenly came from Lin Li’s mind.
"Daughter, my daughter!"
This is a girl's boudoir. Although she is dressed simply, she is also covered with warm pink. On the stool, there is a young and beautiful woman sitting.
But Lin Li was sure that this was not a beautiful "spring dream".
The young and beautiful woman was staring at this moment with fearful eyes, and her tears were like pearls with broken threads, falling all over her face.
The one who broke in from outside the door was an old man in luxury. The old man looked only forty or fifty years old, with black hair. He was in his prime, but at this moment he was helpless at his daughter and cursed with pain.
"Who is it? Who are you? Come on me if you have anything, don't hurt my daughter!" The old man jumped up in anger, and a woman was following him, lying on the ground and crying in silence.
"ah--"
The beautiful woman sitting on the stool suddenly screamed in horror, watching her face grow constantly, and then aging rapidly!
Twenty, thirty, forty - seventy, eighty, ninety!
It took only a few breaths from the age of nineteen to the age of gray hair.
Then...
The fragrance fades away.
"Ye Mei, the country of Shuiyun, was kind-hearted and ruthless in the target during the second mission, causing the task to fail. I have already given a punishment. You must take it as a warning!"
The grand and empty voice resounded in my mind again, making Lin Li sweat all over and sat up suddenly.
I'm afraid the cruelest way to punish a young girl in this way is probably the most cruel way?
Lin Li has only now fully understood what "ans living beings" means. I am afraid that if they are the ones, in the eyes of the demon ancestor, they are not even considered "anti-ant"!
Lin Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was about to lie down and enter the quilt when he suddenly found that there seemed to be a pair of eyes in the darkness, looking straight at him.
Lin Li's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He narrowed his eyes. Because he had already refined his energy, his vision and spiritual consciousness were very keen.
There was really someone standing at the door in the quiet monk's house!
"Is it the Demon Ancestor? He feels that there is a reason for my failure in the mission tonight? Are you going to kill me?" Lin Li was secretly shocked.
"who?!"
After a while, Lin Li couldn't help but shout in a low voice.
"Hehe..." A deliberately thickened sound rang out, and the smile was very strange.
He moved and walked slowly towards Lin Li step by step, and Lin Li's heart also beat violently, as if it was "thump, thump" and "thump".
"Jican, why are you so nervous?" A familiar voice sounded, and the man walked to Lin Li to stand still.
Lin Li blew the cold sweat on his face, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little complaining: "Uncle Miaoming, it's you! You scared me to death. It's so late, why are you here?"
Miaoming automatically ignored all Lin Li’s questions, but instead sneered and asked back, "I should ask you this, Master Ji Zen? It’s so late, where have you been? When I came just now, you were not here. For just a short while, I have been guarding outside the door, why are you back?"
As soon as Miaoming said, Lin Li's heart that had just let go immediately became thrust, "Can Miaoming discover my abnormality? Or does he already know that I have broken through the mortal realm and lured qi into my body?"
"Uncle Miaoming, where do you start with this...?" Lin Li's cold sweat instantly filled his whole body.
Once his abnormalities are learned by the elders and abbots of Shaogang Temple, they may be questioned. If it is a little more serious, they may even regard him as a friend of Jingyue, the remnant of the Demon Sect.
Lin Li couldn't help but be nervous. Once he became a member of the remnants of the Demon Sect, he would probably have no other way except to die.
Miaoming paced back and forth for a few moments before he suddenly looked up and asked, "Jican, I asked a lot. You were the only one who went to the evening class this afternoon. Where did you go in the afternoon?"
"Also, have you... touched something else?"
