Ten days have passed, August is on fire, and the weather is getting cooler.
Qin Luo stood in the watchtower, which had been battered these days, looking at the line of autumn geese heading south over Dancheng, feeling a little sad.
It's not that he feels helpless because of the fate he may face next. After all, as long as his bloodline is not cut off, he is an immortal existence.
It's just that although Qin Luo has been a man for two generations, he is far from the ruthless state of mind that he has experienced in the world without being sad or happy.
Half a month ago.
He divided the descendants of the Qin family into three waves, and took some people from Dan City to escape in three different directions.
His eldest son Qin Ning and his eldest nephew Qin Yuejiang's family took Hanyu Sword and went to Jiangzhou in the southeast.
The second son and eldest daughter's family took almost all the remaining thunder talismans and left from the northwest of Lingzhou where the beast tide had the least impact.
Qin Yuan took the rest of the people and the cornucopia at home and fled south to Chuzhou.
As for Qin Luo, he took the demon elixir from the jade-faced fox and stayed in Dancheng, dragging the Taoist alliance to seek revenge.
As long as he doesn't leave, Dao Meng won't spend too much time chasing other people.
What's more, Dancheng now follows the rule of "Brothers leave younger brothers and leave, fathers leave sons and leave", leaving some soldiers and people behind, in order to dispel the other party's suspicion to the greatest extent and prevent them from noticing that someone is breaking out and leaving.
not to mention.
Qin Luo still asked everyone to break out in three directions.
Even if luck is extremely bad and the breakout in both directions fails, the Qin family can still have a descendant to continue, and Qin Luo can still be reincarnated successfully.
When the time comes, his relationship with the Taoist Alliance will be that of an overt enemy and a secret one.
A gentleman's revenge cannot be accomplished in this life, but he can still avenge it in the next life!
only.
Qin Luo sighed slightly.
It is estimated that I have met my family members in this life for the last time.
As for whether they can meet again, that is also very difficult.
Jiuzhou is so big that it’s not easy to settle down, let alone see old friends again?
"It's such a cool autumn day." He patted the guardrail of the watchtower and sighed in a low voice.
The next moment.
The sky is still clear and the clouds are clear.
But Qin Luo felt a powerful force locked on him, which seemed to be invisible, and then disappeared suddenly.
"We're finally here?" Qin Luo murmured as he looked outside the city.
Although the scene there has not changed at all.
But after Qin Luo absorbed the spiritual energy, he was promoted to the second level of foundation building. In addition, he took the soul-clearing pill a week ago.
The sensitivity is stronger.
So after the aura locked onto him, Qin Luo was sure that it was not his illusion.
It's just that the other party came later than he thought.
You must know that after the jade-faced fox was killed by him, there was no established beast tide within one or two hundred miles near Dancheng.
Such a large vacancy is very obvious and can be noticed at a glance.
But the other party didn't know whether it was due to lack of manpower or not paying enough attention to the jade-faced fox, so they didn't send anyone to Dancheng for half a month.
But this is a good thing.
The later the other party arrives, the safer the Qin family's children will be when they disperse.
Until now.
Qin Luo drew his sword and came out: "A young man who hides his head and tail, dare not show his true face to others?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a chuckle like a silver bell came from the distance.
After a while.
Qin Luo saw a woman dressed in red, floating down from the clouds, like a fairy.
This made him hold the sword in his hand a little tighter.
Flying in the air.
This method was far beyond what Qin Luo thought he could do.
Foundation Establishment can use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to hold oneself up in the air and temporarily glide. Qin Luo did this when he was dealing with the tide of beasts throwing thunder talismans, but it could only last for about thirty breaths before he needed to land.
As for the Jindan period, Qin Luo had learned about it through classics and chatting with Qiu'an in the Qingyin Sect.
At least the monks in the early stage of the Golden Elixir can't fly in the air at will. They have to use spiritual weapons, such as swords and flying boats.
But the person in front of him came directly through the air and was obviously not limited by external objects.
Among the people he knew, Bai Zheng was probably the only one who could do this.
so.
Her cultivation level must be in the middle stage of Jindan or higher.
Qin Luo sighed in his heart.
This is not an opponent that he can defeat now.
Although I had expected that the person coming would not be too weak, it directly surpassed me by at least one level. Even if I exhausted all my means, there was no possibility of victory.
but.
It's obviously not his style to give in like this.
In the air, Ning Hongyi frowned slightly and said in a cold voice: "Is that the little fox you killed? I can feel the aura of its demonic elixir in you."
She shook her head again and said: "I didn't expect it was just a small foundation building. I thought you guys had been sitting around for many years and wanted to make some big move this time, but in the end you ended up sending cannon fodder out to die."
Ning Hongyi felt a little regretful.
As a third-generation disciple, she currently only holds the position of deacon, so she is relatively poor in the Taoist Alliance. If she can catch a big fish, it will be of great help to her promotion to deputy hall leader in the future.
This was the reason why she accepted this task and traveled thousands of miles to Lingzhou.
But now she found out that the one who came to cause trouble was just a small foundation building, and she knew that her trip was in vain.
After all, the level of foundation building is too low. In the Dao Alliance, older people cannot even join the outer disciples, so it is impossible to know any useful information.
So she vented her resentment on Qin Luo, directly used her spiritual energy to condense a palm, and suppressed Qin Luo without mercy.
"break!"
Qin Luo shouted loudly, stood up and faced the palm directly.
The sword energy was flowing horizontally and vertically, gathering in the palm of Ning Hongyi's palm, breaking it open directly!
but.
He was also shaken by the palm and fell backwards, hitting the city wall and shaking off the dust.
The opponent just slapped the palm casually, obviously not using all his strength.
Qin Luo's breath was already a little disordered at this time, but the opponent suppressed him with another palm, obviously not giving him any chance.
He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Outrageous!
The opponent simply doesn't play according to the routine.
There is no way he would immediately kill anyone as soon as he comes up. Shouldn't the normal process involve coercion and inducement to ask him to reveal some information?
But he didn't have time to think too much, so he could only grit his teeth, face the second palm, and stab him with another sword.
"boom!"
Qin Luo was knocked upside down again, but he still used his sword to support himself and managed to stand up.
Only now did he realize that foundation building was the beginning of the path of cultivation, but in front of real immortal cultivators, the gap between them was even greater than the gap between himself and mortals.
You must know that the other party is just strolling in the courtyard, condensing spiritual energy and striking out two palms, and you try your best to resist, and even get seriously injured by the backlash.
Qin Luo raised his head, looked at Ning Hongyi, who was aloft and looked like an immortal, and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
"Fellow Taoist, can you let me know this clearly?" he said in a muffled voice.
When Ning Hongyi heard his words, there was a strange look in her eyes, as if she had heard something that shocked her.
She was silent for a moment and said: "Do you think there is any need for me and the ants to talk?"
After saying that, she struck Qin Luo with another palm strike.
"Damn it, I've run into crazy batches." Qin Luo cursed secretly.
He reluctantly raised his sword and continued to block. He flew dozens of meters backwards from the city wall and hit a house before stopping. He fell limply to the ground, unable to summon any more spiritual energy.
Ning Hongyi didn't even look back and left directly.
The sound of howling tigers and wolves could be heard faintly in the distance.
The world in Qin Luo's eyes was filled with dark red blood, but he still stared at Ning Hongyi's back and used up his last bit of strength to shout: "I already remember your face. When I come to slaughter all the Taoist allies in the future,
Today’s humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold!”
Although the other party didn't look back, he kept staring until her back disappeared into the clouds.
Then, he saw the figures of tigers and leopards emerging from the city wall, but his whole body was in pain from broken bones and he could hardly move.
"Haha." Qin Luo laughed to himself, "Although I am about to die, I still don't want to die in the mouths of you beasts."
He directly forcibly mobilized the Dantian and circulated the spiritual energy inside.
And like this, Qin Luo tried his best to cut off all his meridians, and forced out a trace of spiritual energy, gathering it in his right hand.
Qin Luo looked at those tigers, leopards and jackals with greedy expressions in their eyes and open mouths of fishy smells. Qin Luo looked indifferently.
"go!"
He activated the thunder talisman and blasted it towards the watchtower not far away.
When the thunder talisman attracted thunder and hit the watchtower, the entire tower exploded with a bang, and the green tongue of flames magnified in his eyes. Before completely engulfing him, Qin Luo felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In the past half month, he has been making black gunpowder and putting it into the tower, and then mixed it with a lot of poisonous powder that will cause death if inhaled according to the "Hundred Things Illustration".
These little tricks are definitely useless against the monks at the golden elixir stage, so Qin Luo has been holding back.
Wait until this wave of beasts invades before using it.
As for the rest of the people in Dan City, Qin Luo arranged for them to guard the Qin Mansion in advance, asking them to enter the house immediately after hearing the explosion to avoid the poisonous powder, and wait for two or three hours before going out.
After using poisonous powder to clean up a large wave of beasts, the people in Dan City estimated that their chances of survival, although still slim, were a bit higher.
Qin Luo's thoughts became more and more scattered. He thought of his brother who had been nagging him for decades, of the young ladies he met in Zuijunlou when he was in a rage, of the intrigues during the ups and downs of his official career, and of the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber.
, I think of the day I became a father for the first time, and the farewell half a month ago...
"Is this what death feels like?"
No voice could answer his question.
But he has no regrets about his death.
At least he used his death to protect those more important things.
If his family can be safe, then his life will not be in vain.
…
[The first death of the player has been detected and the player has been included in the virtual space Peach Blossom Land.
Verifying player identity...
The verification is correct and the verification is passed.
Preparing for players to be reincarnated in the next life.】
As if being awakened from an eternal sleep, Qin Luo slowly opened his eyes with a trace of reluctance.
very noisy!
Disturbing people’s purity!
Qin Luo, who was awakened by the system, felt as angry as if the coffin board had been lifted off.
But after a while, he regained consciousness and his resentment dissipated, but he still felt confused as to what year it was.
"System, check how long it is before leaving the server." Qin Luo rubbed his brows and took a deep breath.
[There are still 99,896 years until the game officially starts...]
Looking at the text displayed on this line, Qin Luo was slightly stunned.
Have I been dead for so long?
The battle against the beast tide in Dancheng actually happened almost seventy years ago.
However, the system is preparing to arrange reincarnation for itself, which means that the Qin family's incense continues.
The family members who escaped from Dancheng before must have been continuing the family lineage.
After deducing this news, Qin Luo's originally heavy mood became a little lighter.
After all, his family has continued, and his sacrifice was not in vain.
A more important point.
He can also be reincarnated into the descendants of his family and live a new life in the next life.
[Whether players check the first life evaluation title and corresponding rewards]
When Qin Luo heard the system prompt, he temporarily stopped thinking, nodded and said, "Check."
[Based on the player’s performance in this life, we will give you the most appropriate title.]
[Your title is: Guardian of the Night.
Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, even if you face an enemy a hundred times stronger than yourself, you will still stand up without hesitation, shoulder your own responsibilities, and protect your family, the city and the people behind you.]
[Reward: Unlock the affinity attribute column, and increase the affinity by 10 points in the next life.
When reincarnated, you can retain one more attribute value or special skill.】
Qin Luo looked at the system's evaluation of his previous life, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He was very happy to receive such high praise from the system.
What's more, there are good rewards, so he would be even more happy.
Although he risked his own life and chose to protect him in his previous life, he knew that he could be reincarnated, so he was fearless.
But he chose to fight back to Dancheng alone and then stay in Dancheng instead of running away directly to spread his branches elsewhere and continue his descendants.
Perhaps the latter is more like the optimal solution in the game, which can maximize his interests.
But Qin Luo has been here for decades, and has been with those family members for decades, and his experiences are all real. He can't just treat everything as a game.
Therefore, this is what prompted him to choose to take up the responsibility and use his life in this life to exchange for the longer-term continuation of the Qin family.
After Qin Luo sighed for a moment, he thought of the back in red that day again. He took a breath and took a long time to spit it out.
"Even if the Qin family is in peace now, I will never forget the hatred that almost wiped out the family that day." He said word by word in this virtual space, "If your Taoist alliance offends me, I'm afraid you won't be able to get rid of it for the rest of your life. Until
You will be completely destroyed."
No one heard his oath, because Qin Luo swore it to himself.
In the virtual space of the system, Qin Luo spent another five or six years sleeping and waking up.
Until this day.
Qin Luo used data in the virtual space to randomly create a peach tree full of flowers and placed it in the space to make it more consistent with his name of "Peach Blossom Land".
As soon as he placed it properly, a system prompt sounded in his ears.
[The system is ready to awaken the consciousness of the player's reincarnated body.
Players can start to choose the attributes or skills that will be retained by the reincarnation.】 This chapter has been completed!
