Qu Wuming was so frightened by the sight of Yazhen that he was on guard, fearing that the little thing would suddenly take a bite from him.
Unexpectedly, Yaizhen just looked at Qu Wuming, seemed to grin, and wagged his tail at him, then jumped lightly and landed next to Lin Wanqing.
At this time, Lin Wanqing had fallen into a coma. Fortunately, the wounds on her body had been temporarily sealed by internal forces, and there was no longer the risk of death from excessive blood loss. However, her embroidered eyebrows were still tightly knitted together, and one hand was still
The clothes tightly clutched on the chest have not been let go.
The bird walked up to Lin Wanqing, gently raised a paw and pushed aside Lin Wanqing's hand covering her chest, sniffed close to her body, and suddenly bared its teeth and roared at the position of Lin Wanqing's heart.
Lin Wanqing's body suddenly trembled, her brows furrowed even more tightly, and a very painful look appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Yaizhen took another step forward, bared his teeth and roared viciously at Lin Wanqing's chest.
Qu Wuming also came closer at this time, squatting down and observing Lin Wanqing's condition carefully. He saw a lump the size of a caterpillar suddenly bulged in Lin Wanqing's collar, as if there was an insect crawling up quickly under the skin.
.
The worm followed Lin Wanqing's slender neck, passed her cheek, and then crawled out from the corner of her eye - it turned out to be a worm covered in pitch black and covered with mucus.
As soon as the worm crawled out, Yaizi flew up with one claw to grab it and pinned it to the ground. Then he stepped down with two claws like crazy, and did not stop until the worm was trampled into a puddle of mud.
.
"Hmm..." After a moment, Lin Wanqing hummed and woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Qu Wuming's concerned eyes and Yazhen, who had already stepped into a deep pit on the ground beside her.
Hearing that Lin Wan woke up, Yaizhen suddenly stopped and raised his head to look at Lin Wanqing, his eyes seemed to be trying to please.
When Lin Wanqing's eyes fell on it, the pair of dragon horns on Yazui's head retracted with a swish. The scales on the dragon's head and the dragon's tail behind him clattered softly, and instantly transformed into the same shape as the body.
of slender villi.
After Yaizhen finished all this, he got into Lin Wanqing's arms in a few steps, raised his head and cupped Lin Wanqing's cheek, and stuck out his tongue to lick it from time to time, making Lin Wanqing giggle.
"Brother Qu, what's going on? Why do I feel so close to her? It seems that I know everything she is thinking?" Lin Wanqing stroked her eyes lovingly, sat up and asked.
"I don't know exactly what happened. It's probably because the sword engraved with the sword formula has undergone some kind of mutation in two thousand years, so it came into being." Qu Wuming speculated, "Then your blood
It completely came back to life, so it has become your spiritual pet now, and of course, it may also be a sword spirit."
"Spiritual pet? Sword spirit?" Lin Wanqing said in surprise.
"Yes, pet..." Qu Wuming looked at the worm, feeling that it looked like a dog at the moment. But then he thought of the reputation that the worm must avenge and the way it behaved when it killed the worm, and he suddenly changed the name of "pet dog" to "pet dog".
The word stuck in my heart.
"This feeling is so strange... Is this the feeling only a monk can have?" Lin Wanqing lowered her head and stroked Yaizhen's head. Yaizhen closed her eyes and enjoyed being motionless in comfort.
Lin Wanqing murmured: "It turns out that Brother Qu is a Taoist. If it hadn't been for what happened tonight, I'm afraid Wanqing would never know about it, right?"
Qu Wuming did not answer, but slowly stood up and turned around.
"Brother Qu, what's wrong?" Lin Wanqing originally thought that Qu Wuming didn't want to answer, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But when she saw a long sword appear in Qu Wuming's hand with a whoosh, and Yazhen also turned her head to look.
In the distance, Busy held Yaizhen in his arms and stood up despite the pain all over his body.
"Unexpectedly, something that has not changed in my hands for several years has actually turned into a spiritual beast in your hands." A powerful old voice came from afar, and it seemed that the first word was still there.
A hundred feet away, when he said the last word, he had already arrived at a place less than five feet away from Qu Wuming and the two of them.
Qu Wuming and Lin Wanqing looked at the old man who suddenly appeared opposite them. They saw that he was in dark golden robes, of medium height, slightly fat, and his hairline had almost moved to the top of his head. He barely tied his hair into a bun at the back of his head.
There were wrinkles on his chubby face, and there were three fist-sized fireballs circling and flying next to him.
Qu Wuming asked in a deep voice: "The Lord of Dongsheng City?"
The old man was the city lord of Dongsheng City, Bai Qiulai. Seeing that Qu Wuming had revealed his identity, he said with a smile: "It's me. I just heard that person say, your name is Qu Wuming? I've met Taoist Friend Qu! Haha...
…”
"Is this all your plan?" Qu Wuming asked without answering his question.
"That's right." Bai Qiulai nodded and sighed, "It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of others."
As he spoke, Bai Qiulai looked back at Dongsheng City, which was already in ruins, and said sadly: "I have spent more than forty years building the small deserted city into a prosperous place where people can live and work in peace and contentment.
Pearl of the Frontier. I thought that after tonight, I could use the hands of the Iron Sword Sect to severely injure the Yunzhong Mansion that was sucking blood on Dongsheng City, or even uproot it! Unfortunately, I didn’t expect the Iron Sword Sect to be so unusable, let alone...
An earthquake...ah!"
Bai Qiulai sighed heavily, shook his head and didn't want to say any more. He turned back to look at Yaizhen in Lin Wanqing's arms and said, "I put that sword formula here. Please give it back to me, girl."
Hearing this, Yaizhen jumped from Lin Wanqing's arms to the ground. After a deep roar, a pair of majestic dragon horns and scales sprouted from the top of his head again. A fluffy tail shook twice and turned into a dragon.
With his tail, his body instantly transformed into the size of a lion, grinning at Bai Qiulai and roaring in a low voice.
Bai Qiulai smiled slightly, and with a flash of light in his hand, there was already a black scabbard about a foot long.
I heard Bai Qiulai holding the scabbard of the sword, his lips moving slightly, and he muttered a few words. The Yaizhen suddenly crawled to the ground with a painful look on his face. The light flowing around his body became smaller and smaller, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a dagger again.
, and flew into the scabbard with a whoosh.
At this moment, Lin Wanqing felt a wave of boredom in her heart, as if something had been forcefully pulled away, her eyes darkened and she fainted immediately.
Qu Wuming hurriedly used the power of his spiritual consciousness to support Lin Wanqing and gently placed it on the ground. After his spiritual consciousness invaded Lin Wanqing's body and took a quick look, his eyes towards Bai Qiulai became even colder.
"Return the sword to her, otherwise she will die." Qu Wuming said coldly.
"I originally put this sword manual here." Bai Qiulai smiled slightly when he heard this and said indifferently, "Before, I suffered from not being able to get the real sword manual, so I had no choice but to have the treasure. Now that the sword manual has become a spirit, I will
You can also practice the real "Sword Art of Sympathy between Heaven and Man"."
"I'll say it again: Return the sword to her, otherwise she will die." If Qu Wuming's gaze could kill, Bai Qiulai would have died several times.
"I don't have long to live. If you practice the Divine Sword Art of Sympathy between Heaven and Man, you will have a chance to improve again." Bai Qiulai put the dagger into the storage ring, looked at Qu Wuming with a mocking look on his face and said, "You guys just now
I heard all the conversations. How dare a monk whose magic power is sealed to be so fierce with me? If I hadn't been in a good mood at the moment and wanted to talk to someone, you would have died long ago."
"When you don't want to talk anymore, it's time to take action, right?" Qu Wuming sneered.
"Yes. I have obtained this sword art for more than ten years. I have always wanted to understand its secrets, but it has always been difficult to see the way." Bai Qiulai raised a hand to his chest, and the three fist-sized ones
The fireball flew over, spinning endlessly above his palm, "Actually, originally I just wanted to use it as bait to lure the Iron Sword Sect to clean up Yunzhong Mansion. Unexpectedly, the accidental collision solved the problem that had been bothering me for a long time.
.”
With that said, Bai Qiu looked at Lin Wanqing who was lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "So, to thank you, I can make your death less painful in a while."
Qu Wuming suddenly changed the topic and said slowly: "I always thought you were a good city lord who loved his people as his own son, but I didn't expect that you would not be vague at all when you care about human life."
"Haha, thank you! If you know that you only have a few decades left to live, but you don't want to waste your time, you must have something to rely on and something to do, right?" Bai Qiulai said, "Originally, I wanted to stay in Dongsheng City
What is left behind, but what is the result? You must have seen that even if Dongsheng City is not destroyed by the earthquake, it will become the possession of Yunzhong Mansion, and gradually become smoky, and the people will not live in peace! I want to destroy my achievements
, then I will try my best to destroy them!"
"Yunzhong Mansion was destroyed, but for this goal, how many lives and livelihoods did you destroy?" Qu Wuming asked in return.
"What does it have to do with me?!" Bai Qiulai suddenly became excited, raised an arm and pointed at Dongsheng City and said, "I have devoted more than forty years to that city, more than forty years.
! But every year I just get some insignificant awards when reporting on my work. Who cares about what I really want?! If I hadn’t stopped at cultivation and my life was about to end, why would I want to do such a good job?
Time is wasted on eating, drinking, and eating in a city, on trivial matters?!"
After Bai Qiulai finished speaking excitedly, he took a few heavy breaths. Suddenly he smiled and his tone became more relaxed: "Hey, luckily, it's all over. From now on, I should live for myself."
Qu Wuming shook his head and said, "I really don't know how to evaluate you."
"Do I need your evaluation?" Bai Qiulai turned his head and looked at Qu Wuming, and said with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth, "Anyone who knows that I have sword skills will die. Hehe, I am not surprised by the evaluation of a dead man.
"
Hearing this, Qu Wuming smiled and shook his head and said, "You have been holding back your inner thoughts for too long and have nowhere to vent them, so you tell me so much, right?"
Bai Qiulai nodded and said, "You can put it that way."
Qu Wuming curled his lips and asked, "But why do you think I am willing to listen to you say so much? Is it because you are good-looking?"
Bai Qiulai: "??"
"You set up a formation around here and monitored every move here. You must have heard Lu Linyuan say that you planted the Sky Poison Sealing Demon Gu on me. I'm afraid I won't be able to use magic power for the rest of my life?" Qu Wuming sighed.
said.
"Yes, I heard it." Bai Qiulai nodded, looking at Qu Wuming with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"But you don't know that the Poison-Sealing Demon Gu was just like the Tongxin Gu that day. The female insect was in Lu Linyuan's body, right?" A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Qu Wuming's mouth, which made Bai Qiulai suddenly feel an inexplicable fear...
