Chapter 16 The Trail of the Fire Crow
The further down, the fog in the array became thinner, replaced by thick darkness, with only the torches inserted between them on the wall, and there was some light. The passage became narrower at first, so narrow that only one person could pass through, and then suddenly became clear again, like a cave hidden in the abdomen of the mountain.
Gongsun He was hanging on the platform opposite, with his hair disheveled, without a trace of dignity, as if his life was about to come.
Gongsun Changhong felt his father's breath, walked forward quickly, heading straight to the platform, covering the foundation-building monks in front and behind, and quickly following, for fear of any trap.
"Father, I'm late," Gongsun Changhong was a filial son. Otherwise, Gongsun He would not have told him the secret of the immortal pill before attacking the golden elixir. He rushed to the high platform and reached out to hold Gongsun He's hanging arms, blood-stained body, the seven soul-catching nails that fell into the bones, and the breath of the cultivation level of the Qi-cultivation level was enough to show that Gongsun He had suffered inhuman torture before.
"Ding!" Gongsun He made a crisp sound when the message bronze plaque faced, and Gongsun Changhong's body stagnated.
Just in a moment.
Gongsun He's originally hanging dry arm suddenly raised, and a dagger inserted into the heart of Gongsun Changhong who was close to him.
"ah"
Two people near the foundation building were quickly grasping Gongsun Changhong and retreating quickly. However, the position where the dagger was inserted was inserted was actually vital, and blood was flowing, and it seemed that it was highly poisonous. A monk quickly sealed the vital points around Gongsun Changhong, took him aside, and fed a few bleeding-stop pills and detoxification pills.
"It's useless," a man covered in blood came out from behind Gongsun He's position. It was Chen Kun, the corpse of Gongsun He that had been hollowed out, collapsed instantly at this moment. This seemed to be a newly dug skin.
"I not only used poison to this dagger, but also added Xuanxue San. Simple bleeding can't help him."
"Dog thief!"
A foundation-building monk rushed forward and wanted to bear him down, but a female scolding came from behind him.
"stop!"
It was Liu Yanluo, who walked out of the shadow, "Gongsun Changhong plotted to rebel and killed the city lord, and was killed. The one who was arbitrary was punished with the same crime as him!"
When she said this, Liu Yanluo was actually afraid. When Gongsun He was alive, she rarely had the opportunity to face the monks. At this time, she seemed to say this with awesomeness, but in fact she was harsh and weak. She only had the position of acting as the city lord, but in fact she had no power base, and no one was loyal to her. Most of the monks in front of her were serving the city lord Gongsun He before, but later Gongsun He "dead" and secretly defected to Gongsun Changhong, who had the greatest chance of inheriting the city lord, the real number was unknown.
"this……"
The foundation-building monk was stunned for a moment, and the mistress came out to stop him. If Gongsun He was still there, the order would definitely be impossible to refuse, but Gongsun He was dead. The eldest son of the city lord, Gongsun Changhong, also died of a misfortune, and was in front of him. Now the murderer was obviously in the same group as Liu Yanluo, and she openly covered up the facts. It is logical that he should be killed without mercy.
But the problem is how to deal with it. It is easy to kill the thief in front of you and Liu Yanluo. But after that, Gongsun Changhong's breath is fading and most likely he cannot survive. Jibai City is still from the Gongsun family, and it is very likely that Liu Yanluo's son is the city lord. He has to eat this bite of food. If he kills them, he will definitely become a casual cultivator, or if he changes his boss, maybe no one will take him in, because he will definitely leave the bad reputation of "slave killing the master".
What should we do now? Several people are not loyal, but they don’t want to do anything against their will. They unconsciously look at the foundation building with the highest cultivation level. The four of them face each other, and for a moment they are all in a dilemma, hesitating about their own gains and losses.
…………
"Everyone inside gets out!"
The entire space shaking instantly with this strong voice, as if to be a warning. What followed was a powerful golden elixir aura. Jiang Feng's shadow hiding in the dark was also impacted, his body was swaying and almost disintegrated on the spot. His body was even more seriously injured. He knocked several bleeding-stop pills in succession and used the "Spiritual Ring" [Mingjing Shutdown] treatment to stabilize his body.
The powerful Jindan is not a big deal, and his cultivation is only equivalent to a foundation-building soldier.
Liu Yanluo vomited blood even more. She was a mortal and could not withstand this indiscriminate impact.
"Yanluo," Chen Kun, who was also injured, quickly helped Liu Yanluo, sealed her meridians, poured the elixir in the storage bag directly to the ground, stuffed a few pills for himself, stabilized his injuries, and was eager to find available products. Liu Yanluo is not a monk, and the elixir with strong medicinal properties is actually a poison for her body.
A sound of building collapse and the space shaking again. With another stronger pressure, the entire "roof" instantly seemed to be blown away by a hurricane, and the sun shone in, making it clear. Not only the formation, but also the building itself, were destroyed by force. Jiang Feng's shadow quickly hid in the remaining corridor. In broad daylight, he did not have this confidence. He could allow the shadow to avoid the detection of the powerful Jindan for no reason, and could only pray that the other party's focus would not be here.
"It's so easy," Gongsun Mu said, treating monks who are not as good as their own cultivation and have a status that is not as simple and rough as they are.
"You," Gongsun Sheng didn't say much. Since things were already like this, then let's continue. It's natural to solve the problem simply and clearly. "You can obey the orders and hand over the fire crow quickly."
What kind of Fire Crow? Except for Liu Yanluo and Chen Kun, everyone was confused. The two Jindans are well-known monks in Jibai City. Naturally, there are many people who know them in the field, but there are indeed no ones who can talk about their cultivation or status. Originally, there were Gongsun He and Gongsun Changhong, but unfortunately they both died.
"Don't make a sound," Chen Kun was holding Liu Yanluo and whispered in her ear, "Pretend not to know, we will find another opportunity to get something and escape." He was planning to fish in troubled waters. There were many people in the field with higher cultivation than him. It was not his turn to stand up, but Liu Yanluo's identity was a little sensitive. Thinking of this, he gently twisted Yanluo's head towards him and turned his back to everyone.
"Well," Liu Yanluo responded weakly. Chen Kun's actions just now really moved her, as if she had returned to the days when she first met Chen Kun when she was a girl. She couldn't control her tears for a moment, "Brother Kun, everything is listened to you."
"Um?"
Gongsun Mu was very angry at the lack of attention. The silence of the audience made him feel embarrassed, but he couldn't blame others for this matter. He came up and violently turned over the table without saying hello. Besides, he was not familiar with him. What if he went up and answered and was accidentally killed? The key is that no one knew the answer to the question he asked.
Gongsun Mu waved his hand, and the two Qi-training monks' heads burst on the spot and their bodies died. The scene suddenly became a little confused. Everyone wanted to escape, but they were frightened by the power of the two golden elixirs and did not dare to move. A brave old man hesitated for a moment and stepped forward and said:
"Mr. Gongsun, we don't know what the fire crow you asked about."
"I don't know? Then why is there a special signal here?" He reached out to pick up the fire crow feathers from Gongsun Sheng, wrapped them up with a trace of spiritual power, and let the feathers float in the air. Everyone present discovered that the black and red feathers were shining with a strong red light at this time, as if they were inspired by something. "It must be some of you who hid the fire crow."
"This..." The old man regretted that he had made a breakthrough. This master was not easy to serve and was immediately in a dilemma. "Sir, is there any way to help you find it? It seems that there is only one feather, and I can't help you find it separately."
The ball was thrown back, and the problem was still there.
Gongsun Mu was a little angry. His violent temper was also a child who had good cultivation qualifications and was spoiled by his elders. He practiced smoothly and had resources at will. He had a certain degree of temper, so he had few ideas for solving problems and was not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. Otherwise, Mrs. Hong would not be treated by Gongsun Sheng instead of him, but he himself did not think so. He felt that the foundation building of the elderly was playing tricks on him.
Just as he was about to take action, Gongsun Sheng behind him grabbed him, "Let's do this, everyone present can't leave. Pass this feather down and check it out one by one. If someone hides the fire crow, there will definitely be the breath of the fire crow on him, so he will not be able to escape." He thought to himself, I said violence will not work, you don't believe it, and in the end I have to clean up the mess. If you kill someone accidentally kill the hidden one, where can we go to find Qianhuan Xuan Fire Crow to work with us?
The feathers of the fire crow were passed down one by one, starting from the elderly foundation-building monks and being passed to the nearest people. The feathers of the fire crow remained the same light until they reached Chen Kun's hands. Gongsun Sheng noticed that the man was actually holding a woman, and his figure looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
Who is it?
Chen Kun decisively crushed the fire-type spirit stone that had been prepared in his hand. With the help of this spiritual power, the fire crow's feathers ignited without wind and were instantly destroyed. He turned around and jumped quickly. There was a shallow ditch, which could just block his and Liu Yanluo's figures. They were not here, but they took advantage of the gap between the people passing on their feathers and slowly approached without any trace, and finally achieved their goal.
"asshole!"
Gongsun Sheng knew that this man was the one who hid the fire crow. He grabbed a handful of fire crows in his hand, a colorful bamboo umbrella, and went straight to the place where Chen Kun jumped off. The umbrella was called Dinghai Seven Treasures Umbrella. It could instantly control the target. He dared not kill him. The fire crow's feathers were destroyed. If the other party died again, the clues of the fire crow were cut off. The man still brought the woman when he ran away. As long as it fell into his hands, he had a hundred ways to make him speak.
Bang!
The Dinghai Seven Treasures Umbrella flew rapidly in the air and then quickly covered it down. Just as it was about to make a contribution, it quickly closed and returned without success.
Gongsun Sheng had already flown over. When he went to see again, it was originally a vertically downward dry well. The other party had already escaped from this. He also used an attack spell to damage the well wall and temporarily sealed the entrance.
Humph! Ha!
Gongsun Mu, who was standing beside him, inspiring his spiritual power and shouted at the wellhead, "It's not that easy to run away." His humming true words skill is specifically designed to hurt people's internal organs, but it is not fatal. It is rarely used, but it comes in handy at this time. "You wastes are just here to dig the wellhead and dig three feet into the ground, and I want to catch you."
"Junior brother, I think this guy will probably escape with the underground river," Gongsun Sheng said, "But most rivers lead to Qingxi Lake. It's better for me to surround me there. You can quickly clear the field here and chase him along the river, but you must leave a living."
"Don't worry, he hit my humming truth and brought a burden to me. He will definitely not be able to run fast."
Chen Kun did not run fast. The dry well was about five feet deep. It was usually not a problem for him to go up and down by himself, but with Liu Yanluo and fleeing in a hurry, he could only accelerate his fall and let Liu Yanluo fall on him. He was already injured and injured. Gongsun Mu's humming of the truth made Liu Yanluo faint directly. He also vomited three mouthfuls of blood, knowing that his internal organs were injured, but he did not dare to stop.
Chen Kun did want to escape through the underground river, but he still had something to do. The one that went straight down the dry well was not the underground river, but the secret room sealed by the spiritual sacrifice array.
Two fire crows the size of a cow were trapped here, trapping it all the way and dragging it here. It took him a lot of effort. Although his cultivation was low, he accidentally obtained a nameless beast technique, which recorded many skills in using monsters to refine evil things, which led to what happened today.
The mechanism is done and the result is in heaven. It seems that I have to give up today, he sighed.
In front of the Fire Crow was a whole flesh-and-blooded corpse, which was the body of Gongsun He. The body of a monk who had perfect foundation building was a great supplement to the monster. Even so, the monster gave birth to a purple-stained brown dome, which was barely held by both hands, and the Fire Crow's eyes were already blurred and basically exhausted its soul.
This is an egg of a monster that may awaken the Dharma image. According to the records of the Unknown Beast Art, Chen Kun made this judgment. Unfortunately, there are already magic circles and spiritual objects today, but the time does not wait for anyone. Moreover, you are injured. He looked at Liu Yanluo who was unconscious in his arms, and felt a little sad.
Everything is ready, God will do whatever it takes.
Fortunately, there is still a way. He practiced the Tao all the way. Although his cultivation progress was difficult, his advantage lies in his tough personality. He would never give up until the end.
With a sword, he cut off the neck of the almost fainted fire crow, put away the remaining spirit stones in the array eyes, took out a piece of black sackcloth, wrapped the fire crow egg and tied it behind him, hugged his beloved Liu Yanluo, and went straight to the darkness.
After a long time.
A group of monks with varying cultivation levels rushed here, took a look at the dead fire crows on the ground, and hurriedly chased them along the direction where Chen Kun ran away.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, a figure flashed behind them. It was Jiang Feng. The black shadow that was originally detected quickly melted into his body. After a brief trembling, Jiang Feng looked at the fire crow on the ground.
His body was inexplicably restless, and even a vague tendency to escape from control.
