Chapter 862: Forced Expedition (3)
The howling slave howled miserably.
He struggled violently, and distorted smoke shadows kept coming out of his white bones. In the transparent light smoke, hideous and bloody faces kept twisting and emerging.
Ling Yu's face looked very ugly, extremely ugly.
Tianshu Laojun and Qingfeng Commander on the side frowned, showing that they knew what the situation was.
Ah Hu, who was standing behind Lu Ying, looked at the strange phenomenon on Xiao Nu's body and asked in a low voice, "It looks a bit scary... Brother Ying, what's going on?"
After learning the "liberation method" from the old monk Hongchen, although Lu Yi's own cultivation and strength were still "incomparably weak" compared to Linghu Wuyou and others, his insights and knowledge were far beyond those of ordinary people.
He whispered, "This senior Buddhist... this howling slave, before he died, I don't know what secret method he used. His bones have been integrated into his Buddhist kingdom and turned into a dark and dead place. The true spirits of many fallen people are imprisoned in his bones... This secret method is very vicious!"
Each of these twisted, bloody faces, and every bit of their true spirit, represented a once-living being. However, these true spirits were different from the lucky ones that Lu Yi had sent into reincarnation with the help of the scriptures. All of their spirituality and vitality had been completely stripped away by the secret method of the howling slave.
Their true spirits were all devoured, and what emerged now was only a glimpse of their true spirits remaining in the 'background of the Heavenly Dao'!
This glimpse can only prove that these people existed, it is just a purely probative concept... Other than that, it has no practical value. Even if it is an almighty being with boundless magical powers who can turn the world around and recreate yin and yang, it is impossible to pull them back to the human world and let them condense their bodies again.
Ling Yan looked at these twisted bloody faces with an extremely grim expression.
Linghu Cang on the side widened his eyes. It was unknown whether he was really being 'simple, cute and stupid' or doing it on purpose. He exclaimed loudly: "Oh my, these people, these people... these, these, these, aren't these the guards and maids around the prince? How did they become like this?"
Linghu Cang shouted loudly: "I remember them, I remember them clearly, although so many years have passed... But back then, the emperor's son suddenly came to Loulan Pass, and I, the host, treated him warmly... Hey, hey, this, this, what's going on?"
Ling Yan turned around suddenly and glared at Linghu Cang fiercely: "Shut up!"
Linghu Cang looked at Ling Yu pitifully, and then he looked at Linghu Wuyou. Linghu Wuyou did not say anything, but raised his hands and gently adjusted the three-foot jade crown on his head that was shaped like a big candle. So Linghu Cang muttered, "Hey, I'll shut up, I'll shut up... But, that Yuan Tianzun, his cultivation is amazing, his magical powers are boundless... Hey, hey..."
Linghuan's face turned pale and he was about to yell at her.
The Qingfeng commander at the side said coldly: "Linghu Zhenshou, do you still remember how they fell?"
Linghu Cang blinked rapidly and looked at Commander Qingfeng with resentment: "This, this, this, Commander, you are really embarrassing me. This humble servant, ahem, to be honest, I really don't know how it happened... In short, on the night when the disciple arrived at Loulan Pass, this humble servant was hosting a banquet to entertain the emperor's son... Who knew that the sky would collapse and the earth would crack?"
Linghu Cang spread his hands and sighed, "My cultivation was low, and I was seriously injured and on the verge of death. A life-saving treasure on my body activated automatically and sent me away. After that... I didn't know anything. When I woke up, uh, only half of my head was left, and I had been imprisoned in the lower world with Loulan."
Looking up at the sky, two hot tears fell from Linghu Cang's eyes: "Over the years, I have spent countless efforts to finally establish the Nine Lotus Alliance and forge the Nine Lotus Treasure Boat, just to use the Nine Lotus Treasure Boat to return to the upper realm!"
Commander Qing Feng smiled: "So, you don't know anything?"
Linghu Cang licked his lips and said, "I really don't know anything... Hey, be careful, this guy is going to fight to the death!"
As Linghu Cang shouted, the nine long white bone tails behind the howling slave swung violently, and the nine white bone skulls of the divine beasts and birds opened their mouths at the same time and let out sharp howls. Waves of weak Tao rhyme surged between heaven and earth, covering the eleven holy men who were performing their magical powers.
"How dare you!" Ling Huan shouted angrily, pointed his finger, and a small knife wheel, only the size of a baby's fist and shaped like a full moon, flew into the air. A flash of azure starlight flashed, and the knife wheel silently shuttled through the void and swept across the waist of the howling slave. With a "swish" sound, the nine long white bone tails were cut off at the root, and the nine heads of divine beasts and divine birds screamed at the same time, and then under the divine light emitted by the eleven holy men, they turned into a wisp of flying ash in an instant and dissipated.
Without waiting for the howling slave to react, Ling Yan snorted lightly and the knife wheel flashed again.
Without a sound, the two white skulls on the left and right of the howling slave were also chopped off by a single blow, and then turned into nothing in the blazing divine light. The only remaining white skull screamed hurriedly: "I admit defeat, I admit defeat, please... spare my life, please spare my life... This life of mine was not easy to come by, please spare my life!"
Having lost two heads and nine long tails, the howling slave, who looked much more pleasing to the eye at first glance, raised his hands and slowly knelt in mid-air.
The Holy Spirit man who was severely injured by the lightning and had countless black air lingering in his body shouted angrily, strode forward, and punched the Howling Slave's head several times, causing sparks to fly. Then he shook his hands, and the divine light turned into thumb-thick chains, which "clanged" around the Howling Slave and tightly grasped every bone of his body.
The other eleven Holy Spirits also acted according to the law. Chains of light and flames quickly wrapped around the howling slave, and then the chains melted and turned into a giant shackle with a strange shape that sealed his entire body. Starlight patterns were faintly visible in the shackles, isolating him from all the Taoist rhymes and spiritual inspirations.
The Holy Spirit man with black energy in his body sat in the air with a thud, and black liquid kept gushing out from his seven orifices and the vertical eye between his eyebrows. The other eleven Holy Spirit men acted together, and a very fine ray of white light gushed out from their eyebrows, falling into the vertical eye between the eyebrows of the injured Holy Spirit man, turning into boundless flames that rushed into his body, burning madly and dispelling the vicious black energy.
Ling Yu took a deep look at the imprisoned howling slave and murmured, "If you really know nothing, that's fine... If you pretend to be crazy and stupid and want to get away with it... Hehe, you are really thinking the wrong way."
After a slight pause, Ling Yu sneered at Linghu Wuyou, and pointed at Lu Yi with a hint of undisguised malice: "Master Linghu, do you really want to take this Buddhist thief back? Buddhists... are troublesome... Just look at the howling slaves, they often harbor evil intentions!"
Lu Yu, Baoguang Gongde Buddha, Zhenyu Xuanguang Buddha, Morenli Tian Buddha, Yuanjue Monk and others all looked at Ling Yu - what's wrong with the monk? Did the monk eat your food? Did the monk drink your food? Did he tease your big yellow dog? How can the monk be a nuisance? How can the monk harbor evil intentions?
Hey, hey, although this howling slave also uses Buddhist techniques...
Tsk!
Lu Yu curled his lips.
If this howling slave is really involved in the death of the so-called Taimi Emperor, and he is deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid... he really has evil intentions!
But you can't say that the whole pot of porridge is bad just because of a bad rat shit, right?
So, the same old question - what's wrong with monks?
However, Lu Yi and the others could see that Ling Yu's words were meant to disgust Linghu Wuyou. Who had made Linghu Wuyou send such an undisguised signal to Linghu Cang just now, causing Linghu Cang to call out the identities of those bloody faces like a mourner?
The guards, maids, and all the people who accompanied the Emperor Taimi were killed.
It would have been fine if he had died, but the howling slave had used a secret method to incorporate him into his skeleton and devour his true spirit... In a small sense, this might be the price that the howling slave paid in his desperate fight with the enemy; in a big sense, it could be said that the son of Emperor Taiming had no skill in controlling his subordinates, and the old slaves close to him turned against their colleagues; to put it even more exaggeratedly, it could be said that Emperor Taiming was not majestic enough to intimidate the slaves...
In short, a very simple thing can have many interpretations!
But no matter which one it is, it is a damage to the majesty of Emperor Taimu. As the special envoy of Emperor Taimu, how could Ling Yu tolerate the provocation of the Linghu family in person? Therefore, no matter whether it is useful or not, she must disgust Linghu Wuyou.
Lu Yi glanced at Ling Huan.
Just now, there was a ray of fierce malice coming from Ling Yu - this woman might have had some thoughts about Lu Yu. Maybe when she has the chance, she will do something to Lu Yu to better save Ling Hu Wu You's face and take revenge on Ling Hu Wu You and Ling Hu Cang?
Lu Yu's face stiffened slightly.
How could this woman be so petty? Besides, it wasn't him, Lu Yu, who was provoking her on purpose, right?
Lu Yi put his hands into his sleeves and pressed the Buddhist seal with his fingers.
The Heavenly Book Master said with a smile: "Okay, you kids, stop talking nonsense here. We still have to work together and do our best to get the job done."
"The first thing to do is, of course, to find out the truth about the murder of Emperor Taiming."
"Secondly, it is about the cause and effect of the defection of Morenzhitian."
"The second thing is, of course, the internal investigation of the Patrol God Guards themselves."
"The second thing is to find a way to raise Loulan Pass back to the Supreme Primordial Heaven..."
While Tianshu Laojun was speaking, Qingfeng Commander's eyes flickered, constantly scanning everyone present. Linghuan raised his chin slightly, sneered silently, and no one knew what he was laughing at. Linghu Wuyou still looked like a graceful and noble young man, exchanging glances with Linghu Cang from time to time.
Linghu Cang is indeed a typical playboy...but he is still a little bit away from being a complete and utter waste.
He understood Linghu Wuyou's eyes and responded with his gaze from time to time.
Lu Yi noticed their little movements, and suddenly felt extremely curious and annoyed - you two old men were winking at each other, are you really so telepathic that you can really understand the meaning in each other's eyes?
After the Lord of Heavenly Books finished his instructions, Linghu Wuyou waved his sleeves, and wisps of chaotic energy surged in from the void. Linghu Wuyou grabbed the gray chaotic energy with both hands, and in the five elements of light swirling in his palms, Lu Yi felt the extremely familiar fluctuations of the innate five elements of Taoism.
However, compared with the innate five elements of Taoism in the five masters, the Taoism in Linghu Wuyou's palm is ten thousand times more vast, ten thousand times more complex, and ten thousand times more profound... It is so powerful and mysterious that Lu Yi cannot understand it at all for a while.
The chaotic energy differentiated into the five elements in Linghu Wuyou's palm and condensed into five balls of substantial innate five elements material.
Linghu Wuyou's fingertips were surrounded by starlight, which turned into extremely complex and subtle Taoist symbols, which continued to merge into the five groups of innate five elements materials with a graceful "ding ding" sound. The materials melted rapidly, and then merged with each other bit by bit according to a certain proportion...
As the Dao patterns flow, the fusion ratio of the five innate five-element materials is constantly being fine-tuned. Every time the integrated materials change, a new Dao rhyme will grow. This newly grown Dao rhyme seems to be vaguely in line with the many great ways of heaven and earth mastered by Lu Yi, but there is also a huge difference!
The difference is like the difference between the two people, but one is as ugly as the second senior brother's sister, and the other is a combination of four beauties, possessing the advantages of the four beauties and then being optimized a hundred times to create a peerless beauty!
After three breaths, the five pieces of material melted into a ball the size of a water tank. It was a strange material that was clear and transparent, with a faint hint of the aura of the blue sky.
Linghu Wuyou pointed his finger, and the mass of material was evenly divided into five pieces. Then, with a flash of light, it turned directly into five fist-sized, hair-thin golden rings!
Before Lu Yi and the others could figure out the use of the golden rings, Linghu Wuyou chanted a spell, and five golden rings turned into five streams of light that flew rapidly over, and with a few clangs, they hit the heads of Lu Yi and the four mistresses.
"Okay, try it out. Think about what you like and it will become what you like."
Linghu Wuyou clapped his hands gently and said, "In short, these five gadgets can control your life and death. From now on, your life and death will depend on my thoughts... However, they are also your amulets. When other people with sufficient status see these five treasures, they will know that you are my Linghu Wuyou's people, and you are my Linghu family's people."
Lu Yu and the four mistresses were all stunned.
This is the golden hoop?
The classic shape of the 'Golden Hoop' flashed through Lu Yu's mind, and the thin golden ring on his head flashed with light, turning into the classic shape of the golden hoop on his eldest brother's head that was so vivid in his memory!
Afterwards, the shape of the golden hoop was completely stable. No matter how Lu Yi tried to change it to make it more exquisite, it did not react at all and did not change at all!
The four mistresses were still in shock and sadness, and the golden ring on Lu Yi's head had changed.
In Linghu Wuyou's opinion, there is no doubt that Lu Yu immediately recognized the reality, acknowledged his identity, and wholeheartedly joined his team!
Nodding with satisfaction, Linghu Wuyou smiled and nodded at Lu Yi: "He is a smart and clever man who knows when to advance and when to retreat! You four, have you been big shots for too long that you don't even understand the etiquette of respect and inferiority?"
The four mistresses have not yet figured out what Linghu Wuyou meant by this.
The golden rings on their heads flickered, and unspeakable pain suddenly surged from their souls. Then every part, every inch, every strand of their bodies... twitched and spasmed, and then tore apart and shattered, and then constantly reassembled, and then constantly shattered... Even countless cells were constantly torn apart by the raging fire, ice, thunder and hurricanes, and then constantly reborn...
All the suffering imaginable in the world is now being performed on the four mistresses.
The four mistresses have such high levels of cultivation that they are definitely at the top level in this spatial dimension... They were originally insects, and the vitality and body strength of the cultivators of the same level, insects, are definitely much stronger than those of human cultivators!
Even so, the four mistresses were knocked unconscious by the indescribable pain, which was a thousand times more miserable than purgatory.
They even fainted without even uttering a single scream.
Linghu Wuyou smiled and nodded, pointed his finger, the golden ring flickered, and the four mistresses were forcibly awakened from their coma. Their bodies twitched violently, blood mixed with sweat continued to leak out from every pore of their bodies, and suddenly the air was filled with a strange, strong, fishy fragrance with a strong instinctive attraction of life!
Every drop of blood of the four mistresses has a strong attraction to life forms and life forms that are lower than them. Every drop of their blood is a panacea for life forms that are inferior to them, and has infinite benefits.
Even Lu Yi swallowed subconsciously when he smelled the scent of their blood.
"Remember, if you obey orders carefully and attentively, you can live a comfortable and wonderful life... If you don't obey, or if there is any mistake in the task assigned to you... you will... In the Supreme Primordial Heaven, there are various formulas for divine pills that use insects as medicine. You are very good materials."
Linghu Wuyou smiled very gently and said the most cruel and ruthless words.
He looked at Lu Yi again: "Have you seen the power of this little thing? Your life and death depends on my thought. So, control your subordinates... If they make any mistakes, I will ignore them and only cause trouble for you!"
"Now, follow my orders."
"You four have the aura of Loulan Pass. You are the 'indigenous creatures' cultivated by Loulan Pass and have been entrenched here for many years... You will cooperate with Laojun and Commander Qingfeng to search and investigate Loulan Pass and investigate what happened that year... The key is to search for the bones and treasures of the Taiyan Emperor's son."
"And you."
Linghu Wuyou pointed at Lu Yi.
"Loulan Pass is an important town on the frontier. It is not easy to raise Him back to the Supreme Primordial Heaven. It requires huge resources. This additional expense is not included in our budget."
"So, I plan to use local materials and gather all the materials needed to restore Loulan Pass to its original position right here in the lower world."
Linghu Wuyou took out a four-sided long-necked two-ear bottle shaped like a wine pot and threw it to Lu Yi: "Go, go to the various heavens in this lower world, extract their world origins, and strip away all usable resources for Loulan Pass to use when it returns to the Supreme Primordial Heaven."
Lu Yi took the light and invisible treasure vase, which was about a foot high, and said in shock: "Extract..."
Linghu Wuyou smiled slightly: "This is a lucrative job. When you have drawn enough resources, this 'Na Yuan Bottle' will naturally remind you... However, if you want to draw more, that's fine too."
"I don't need to tell you how many wonderful uses the origin of the world has, right?"
Linghu Wuyou was giving orders when a girl from the Linghu family, who was wearing a starlight robe and had a delicate and clever oval face, a pair of slender fox eyes, slightly high cheekbones, and two thin lips that looked particularly mean, coughed lightly, came up, gently pulled Linghu Wuyou's sleeve, and called out delicately, "Uncle Wuyou..."
Linghu Wuyou pursed his lips and sighed softly: "Forget it, Qing (a ring-shaped jade pendant with a gap) girl, you can follow me and be a supervisor!"
Linghu Jui chuckled and bowed to Linghu Wuyou in a hurry. Then he quickly moved to Lu Yi's side, raised his head and shouted coldly, " What are you still standing there for? Why don't you get going? If you delay important matters, be careful or I'll make that guy's head into a wooden fish and knock on you 100,000 times a day."
Without waiting for Lu Yi to respond, Linghu Lu pointed at him again and said coldly, "Baldy, what's your name? Tell me your name now. How long are you going to keep it a secret?"
Without waiting for Lu Yi to answer, Linghu Jue's thin lips were already moving rapidly, and she began to mutter again: "Looking at the number of subordinates you have, you seem to be a powerful local boss? That's good... I am reluctantly willing to be your supervisor. This is the blessing you have accumulated in your past hundred lives... You must serve me well."
"I can tell you that you can't be careless about your daily food and drink expenses."
Linghu Jun put forward countless conditions, and Lu Yi could only hear stars and his head was buzzing in confusion... Behind Linghu Wuyou, several young men from the Linghu family who were of the same age as Linghu Jun suddenly walked out, laughing and whispering to Linghu Wuyou.
Linghu Wuyou was not as polite to these young people as he was to Linghu Lun.
He frowned and said in a cold voice, "You are all so anxious and red-faced. Are you all cold sparrows who have never seen or eaten anything? Who are you trying to show off your poor appearance to?"
After casually slapping a young man in the face, Linghu Wuyou smiled at the Heavenly Book Master and said, "Please forgive me, Master. This is the first time for the children of our clan to come to the lower world. They are very ignorant. I will definitely teach them a lesson when I return."
"Well, let's get down to business, shall we?"
The Lord of Heavenly Books smiled and nodded, and Commander Qingfeng also nodded slightly with a stern face.
A few days later.
The huge alligator snapping turtle smashed a stream of chaotic air with its head, and its limbs moved gently like fish fins, soaring forward smoothly and steadily in the chaos.
Lu Yi stood on the huge head of the alligator snapping turtle, with Ah Hu and a dozen other tiger lords standing behind him.
The three girls, Qingyou, forced smiles as they accompanied Linghu Jun on the shell of the alligator snapping turtle.
On the carapace of the alligator turtle, which is hundreds of miles wide, several beautiful peaks photographed from the ancient city of Loulan stand tall, a stream of clear water flows between the peaks, and the mountains are full of light green exotic plum blossoms.
There were a few thin clouds floating above, and under the influence of magic, heavy snow fell from the clouds. The cold air made the plum blossoms smell cold. There was a foot deep of snow under the trees, which was a really beautiful scene.
On the hillside of a beautiful peak, overlooking the clear water, there is an ancient and elegant pavilion built with pine wood. Linghu Jun sits in the pavilion, holding a fine porcelain teacup, looking at the surrounding scenery with a smile, and constantly making strange noises of "ah...oh...uh...eh...hee...hhh".
This guy is writing poetry. But the ink in his belly is really limited. Lu Yi listened to her "ah oh uh" for several days, but she couldn't even utter a complete sentence. Lu Yi was puzzled. An extraordinary being from the upper world, a dignified "celestial being", would just eat and wait for death on weekdays?
Haven't they ever been to school?
Can't even compose a limerick?
The three girls of Qingyou were in the pavilion, facing a small red clay charcoal stove, on which a small sand pot was stewing. The stove was burning with lavender Nine Heavens Spiritual Flame, and in the pot was a lake of innate water essence. On the small tea table next to it, there was a small box of tea leaves taken out by Linghu Lu. The water essence in the pot was boiling, and wisps of steam were rising. The fragrance of tea was filled within a radius of 100 miles.
The Nine Heavens Spiritual Flame and the Innate Water Essence are both top-notch materials that can be collected in this spatial dimension, but compared to the tea leaves taken out by Linghu Lun, they are just ordinary.
Linghu Jun only threw a piece of tea from the box of tea into the teapot, and the whole lake of water became fragrant.
Without mentioning its other various effects, just take the tea itself as an example. A piece of it is as heavy as a mountain range 100,000 miles long in the Yin-Yang Heaven... The rhyme of the Tao and the essence of heaven and earth contained in it are simply incredible to the extreme.
"Ah!" Linghu Luan suddenly sighed, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea in one gulp. Then he shook his head in melancholy, "I have spent too much energy these days, and my thoughts are running out. I really can't think of any beautiful sentences... But, of course, you mortals in the lower world are completely incapable of such an elegant thing as reciting poems."
Linghu Lun glanced at Lu Yi, Qing You and the other two girls with great arrogance.
The three Qingyou girls smiled awkwardly.
Lu Yi didn't even look back.
Haha, who gave this lady such confidence? Is reciting poetry... difficult?
What kind of education did this young lady receive in the Supreme Primordial Heaven? What do the celestial beings in the upper world do on a daily basis? Why do they think that reciting poetry is such a difficult thing?
However, Lu Yi didn't know what to say because he didn't know Linghu Jun's temper.
After all, Linghu Wuyou and others came from the upper realm. They came too quickly and too hastily. Until now, Lu Yi and others are still in a daze and have not fully recovered from the shock of the sudden arrival of these celestial beings.
What are they here for?
What will they do?
What impact will they have on their own destiny?
Everything is unknown...
Suddenly, a faint glow , and a small, clear heaven slowly emerged from the vast chaos tide. This heaven was not the Yin-Yang Heaven. Judging from the size of that heaven and the Dao rhyme it exuded, it should be just an ordinary, world-level higher than the Jisheng Heaven and Yuanling Heaven that Lu Yi had experienced before, but also a limited small world.
The Na Yuan bottle suddenly burst out from Lu Yi's sleeve, with a faint light flickering on the bottle.
