Chapter 110
Chapter 110
The night sky was still covered with dark clouds, and the crescent moon was completely covered by the clouds, unable to let out any light, and the stars that were shining just now were also beginning to crumble, as if they were about to go out soon.Tianxing Yinque is indeed one of the most powerful formations in Longhushan, but there are limits to how strong it is, as long as the three short incense sticks are burned out, the formation will immediately dissipate.
But now, the three sticks of incense have been burned to the end.
There was a thin layer of sweat on Zeng Jingxuan's forehead. The talismans in his hand had already been completely used up. Just now, he shot a heart-piercing arrow with the compass needle, but it did not hurt the vitality of the enemy who was descending. The lungs began to ache sharply again.If it was in his prime, he might still be able to fight, but now, whether he can survive has become a problem.However, his footsteps did not retreat, instead he flipped his palms and took out two chicken throats from his pockets. The pointed chicken bones were turned upside down, not to be inserted into the ground or the window sill, but aimed at the seven gates on his body Big hole.
This is an unorthodox method he learned elsewhere. Stimulating the Qiguan with Zhiyang's chicken throat can stimulate the Yang Qi in the body in a short period of time, thereby increasing his spellcasting power, which is called "Fenyang".It's just that although this method is powerful, the side effects are also not small. Even if he is physically healthy, using this burning sun method will hurt his muscles and bones, and his vitality will be greatly damaged, let alone his current appearance.However, when the matter came to an end, it was still related to Xiao Qi's life, so there was no need to hesitate.
As soon as his hands tightened, he wanted to insert the throat of the chicken into the Shangyang acupoint, but at this moment, there was an explosion sound from downstairs. When the explosion sounded, the evil spirit in the room suddenly trembled, and it showed a slump in an instant. Zeng Jingxuan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that it was Xiao Qi and the others who killed the main fighters, and even eliminated the evil spirits. The evil array and the chain array are nothing to be afraid of.
The chicken bone in his hand had pierced his skin, and he threw the blood-stained bone downward without hesitation. The seven chicken throats were directly facing the small seven gates placed by the copper coins before. The evil spirit in the garden suddenly became chaotic, Zeng Jingxuan bit the tip of his tongue, and sprayed out a mouthful of real saliva, only to hear another crisp explosion, the sound of sky breaking.
The array is broken!Zeng Jingxuan's high-hanging heart fell back to the original place with a thud, and he immediately walked to the door without pausing. He still wanted to find Xiao Qi and Wei Yang to see how the two children were doing.In the corridor, shards of broken glass fell all over the floor, all the light bulbs had burst, and most of the outer glass cover was cracked. The whole corridor was pitch black. In the stairwell on the eighth floor, three figures were seen.
Zhang Xiuqi knelt down on the ground and had lost consciousness a long time ago, while Wei Yang was lying not far from him. Beside the two of them, there was a strange man who had never seen him before. His eyes were rolling white and his limbs were twitching. It seems that the situation is not good. Is this the descendant who cast the spell?Zeng Jingxuan ignored the man, rushed forward in three steps at a time, grabbed Zhang Xiuqi's wrist first, the other's arm was extremely cold, even the pulse was barely detectable, what was more terrible was the scattered pulse, just a When they joined hands, Zeng Jingxuan's face changed color.
The two souls and seven souls in Zhang Xiuqi's body have lost more than half, not to mention waking up now, he is about to fly out of his wits!Zeng Jingxuan felt his eyes go dark, and immediately bit his tongue. Taking advantage of the pain to recover, he quickly reached out and grabbed Wei Yang's wrist. He took out two silver needles and inserted them on the back of the opponent's neck, one on the left and the other on the right. Invigorate people's body functions and restore people's mind.
After two injections, Wei Yang's shoulder twitched, and he woke up immediately. After all, he was in a coma, and his eyes hadn't been completely in focus, but his body had already moved, and he moved to the side: "Brother Qi, you the soul of..."
"Ah Yang, what the hell is going on!" Zeng Jingxuan didn't have time to wait for Wei Yang to recover, and grabbed his shoulder directly.
It wasn't until this moment that Wei Yang realized that there was someone beside him, and the blood stagnant in his chest couldn't be suppressed immediately, and he spit it out, but he didn't care about the mottled blood, and directly grabbed Zeng Jingxuan's arm: "Mr. Zeng, Qi Brother, his soul was taken by that person, use this bone array..."
A blood-stained joint appeared in his palm, Zeng Jingxuan's pupils shrank suddenly, another bone formation?However, his reaction was not slow, and he immediately understood the meaning of Wei Yang's words: "The soul is locked? Quickly help him upstairs, there is still incense in the ward!"
Said that Zeng Jingxuan had already supported Zhang Xiuqi's shoulders, and on the other side, Wei Yang also stood up with force, and at the same time supported the limp body. The two seriously ill patients had no strength at the moment, but they still supported him together. Zhang Xiuqi, staggered and sent him back to the ward.
Carefully laying the little celestial master flat on the bed, Wei Yang slumped down on the seat beside him. He didn't recover at all. He relied on the two silver needles on the back of his neck to stimulate his energy. Let alone moving people, he actually acted on his own. They were all very reluctant, just now they were all supported by that breath, and now they couldn't even lift their fingers.Zeng Jingxuan just took a breath, took out three sticks of incense sticks from the tool bag, struck them with a match, and placed them in front of Zhang Xiuqi.The name of this thing is "Inducing Soul Fragrance", and the direction in which the green smoke drifts represents the direction of the soul, which can attract the soul.However, this thing also has limitations, it can only cast spells nearby, and those lost souls cannot be hindered in any way.
As soon as the incense was lit, the green smoke that escaped from it immediately drifted towards the bone array in Wei Yang's hand, and the smoke swayed back and forth between the bone array and Zhang Xiuqi's mouth and nose, as if trying to transfer the soul back into his mouth.However, no matter how hard the smoke tried, Zhang Xiuqi's eyes were still closed, his breath was barely audible, and there was no sign of returning to his soul.
Zeng Jingxuan gritted her teeth, and said in a deep voice: "The bone array is not like death jade, and I'm afraid that the soul-hooking incense won't work. Witch bone is not the same as ordinary Taoism. How did the subduing master just lose his soul?"
The stranger lying on the ground just now, Zeng Jingxuan didn't even bother to look at him, he knew that he was a typical symptom of losing his soul, and the breaking of the evil array might also be related to this. Since Zhang Xiuqi has lost his soul, he can do this. Everything, only Wei Yang.
Wei Yang's eyes were fixed on the fluttering green smoke all the time, his eyes almost burst into flames, but when he heard Zeng Jingxuan say that the incense was useless, he immediately stood up and said incoherently: "I don't know, Is his soul really in this bone formation? I don’t know how to get him back...Mr. Zeng, I met that person, and he passed out. If I touch Brother Qi with the bone formation, will he put him in a coma? The other souls are also lost..."
This is the reason why he didn't dare to touch the little celestial master just now, he was afraid that he would not be able to control the bone array, and that that evil thing would suck up the last bit of brother Qi's soul.Zeng Jingxuan was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "I don't know, but the things of the Wu family can definitely be manipulated, but it may cost a lot, and may even cause some kind of damage to the body, just like when you just fell into a coma. The situation, that is, the backlash caused by excessive consumption of essence and blood."
One cannot escape the real "God's Punishment" in one's way of Taoism. It is not so easy to escape the backlash brought about by changing one's life against the sky. At most, some methods can be used to pass on and eliminate it, but the backlash itself will not disappear out of thin air, so think about it Witchcraft will not really be flawless, but the way of backlash may be different.The two silver needles stuck in the back of Wei Yang's head are the most direct evidence.
However, upon hearing such an answer, Wei Yang relaxed a little, pinched the bone array in his palm, stretched out his hand without hesitation, held Zhang Xiuqi's palm, and gently replied: "As long as you can save the Brother Qi..."
There was some kind of determination in his eyes, and he held it so hard, jaw to jaw, palm to palm, as if even the bone array was pressed between the bones of the two of them.He lowered his head, gently kissed the back of Zhang Xiuqi's hand with his blood-stained lips, and closed his eyes.
What exactly do you need to activate the bone array?Wei Yang actually doesn't know, but he knows that every time he encounters danger, the bone formation will take effect. Is it absorbing his own emotional fluctuations, or the strong desire to put all his eggs in one basket?But it doesn't matter, even if it wants his own life, he will not hesitate to give it!
A bit of bright red blood seeped out from the edge of his lips, from the tip of his tongue and from the tip of his heart. That hot blood flowed down Wei Yang's jaw, dripping into the palms of the two tightly clenched. His tiger's mouth was slowly heating up, as if Scorched by the hot blood, a faint red light appeared in the clasped palms. Wei Yang didn't open his eyes, so he didn't see the strange color, but in his palm, the The cold and feeble palm was getting warmer and hotter, bringing out the warmth of a living person. There was a pounding heartbeat, and it was unknown whether it came from the opponent's palm or his throbbing chest.
"Brother Qi, take them back... Take your soul, all, back..."
Along with the murmur, a small sound echoed in the quiet room. The two silver needles stuck in his neck fell to the ground, as if they could no longer lock his soul and energy, Zeng Jingxuan's lips slightly He moved, but didn't speak, just clenched his fists and looked at the two young people who were tightly pressed together in front of him.
The sound of heartbeat and breathing appeared, and even that pale face turned a little rosy. Zhang Xiuqi's fingertips twitched slightly, hooking the back of Wei Yang's hand reflexively, and even his fingertips sank into Wei Yang's hand. in the skin.Zeng Jingxuan took two quick steps, came to the hospital bed, put his wrist on Zhang Xiuqi's wrist, and with just a light touch, his eyes widened.
The souls are back, not two souls and seven souls, but... three souls!
At that moment, Zeng Jingxuan almost cried out, clenched his teeth, he took his pulse again carefully, and even stretched out his hand to measure Zhang Xiuqi's carotid artery, but everything was the same as the first time, his soul came back , The three souls gathered together! For 20 years, no matter what the situation, Zeng Jingxuan has never lost his composure. He may be injured or faint, but that kind of gentle demeanor has never been discarded. However, today, his eyes are red, and even his fingers are trembling slightly , he could hardly grasp the opponent's wrist, he never expected that the Heavenly Soul would come back so suddenly.
However, after trembling for a while, he suddenly woke up, looked down, and saw that the red light in the palms of the two had disappeared, replaced by Wei Yang's pale face. Passed out, lost consciousness.
"Wei Yang!" Zeng Jingxuan still doesn't understand, this is a sign of losing strength again, no matter what the bone array needs, Wei Yang will satisfy it, but he just lost strength once!
Without any hesitation, Zeng Jingxuan immediately stretched out his hand to pull the two of them apart, letting them escape the control of the bone array. He used a lot of strength, and the bone array slipped from the palms of the two without any accident, but the bone array fell to the ground. The hands of the two never separated, even if Wei Yang lost consciousness, even if Zhang Xiuqi hadn't woken up yet.Seeing the two little fellows who were also unconscious, Zeng Jingxuan slightly closed his eyes, picked up the bone array that fell on the ground, and sat silently on the sofa beside him.

The sky was very dark, and the forest at night was terribly cold. Standing in the dense forest, Zhang Xiuqi was stunned for a moment, then tightened his body in a daze. At this moment, a big warm hand held his hand, and a voice came Lai: "Xiao Qi, lifting the ban is a little dangerous, but the children of Longhushan have to go through this, don't be afraid, I'm still here..."
It was his father's voice. Feeling the warmth of his palm, Zhang Xiuqi's confusion immediately dissipated. He stood up straight like a little adult, straightened his back, and tried his best to answer: "Father, I'm not afraid. Try Can you really see the way of the underworld during the practice?"
Holding his hand tightened a bit: "Restriction does lead to the way of the underworld. After three years of rebirth, we can see our mother..."
Following this question and answer, Zhang Xiuqi suddenly remembered that this was in front of the forbidden area of Heming Mountain.According to legend, Zhang Daoling, the founder of Tianshidao and the ancestor of their Zhang family, built a dojo in Heming Mountain. All descendants of Tianshidao Zhang surnamed must come to the forbidden area for a trial when they are 9 years old. Only by practicing, can one be qualified to practice the true way of a heavenly master and become a descendant of the Longhushan lineage.He was only 8 years old that year, but his father still insisted on bringing him here to make a breakthrough, hoping to let him start practicing Taoism as soon as possible.
that year?Zhang Xiuqi frowned suddenly, why "that year"?
However, before he could react, a hand grabbed his little hand and led him to the depths of the dense forest.By the way, Zhang Xiuqi remembered again, the ashram is in the mountain depression ahead, and it is said that it is a haunted road to the underworld.Tianshidao is actually not as ordinary people imagine, it is a pure way of heaven and immortality. At the beginning of Patriarch's establishment, Tianshidao was also called "Five Dou Rice Dao", which is a standard "ghost way".Just because people are born as yang, no one can have the power to transcend life and death and command ghosts. However, Zhang Daoling, the patriarch of their family, has broken through life and death, entered the ghost way with a yang body, and naturally can interact with yin and yang. Terrifying Taoism.
This is the untold secret of the celestial master's way, and it is also the only way for every celestial master in Longhu Mountain. Zhang Xiuqi is not very afraid. He shouldn't be afraid... But for some reason, his heart beats so fast, Staggeringly following behind his father, his eyes swayed between the tall figure beside him and the dense forest.No, something is wrong!
Following this thought, his footsteps suddenly stopped and he stood where he was, but unexpectedly, there was still a pair of father and son in front of him. The father walked steadily, and the son walked lightly. They walked forward side by side, as if nothing Don't pay attention to this eerie jungle.Zhang Xiuqi froze in place, he knew that it was his father and himself, so who was the one who stayed here?
Zhang Xiuqi lowered his head, in his field of vision, there was only a piece of grass that was green to black, and he couldn't see his body at all, like a shadowless ghost... He also remembered why he was so scared, Because he knows the outcome of this trial, he's been through this...
The indescribable pain hit, Zhang Xiuqi's eyes went dark, he found that he had stepped on a different road, it was a real ghost road, if he made a wrong step, he would fall into the bottomless abyss , never to return to the world of yang, he saw his little self, he saw him stepping cautiously, step by step into that barren canyon, with the wind blowing his arms, it should have been terrifying Yes, but there was no fear on his face, only a trace of unconcealable longing.He remembered that he had personally seen the scene of ghosts wandering around, and saw the towering gate tower in front of the bottomless river of Wangchuan.
He never forgot his father's words, three years is a special day, it is the day of returning souls of the dead.It was three years after his mother passed away, so his father brought him here and let him go on the ghost road. They might be able to see their mother's dead soul, and they might be able to reunite with her in Huangquan.However... Zhang Xiuqi closed his eyes, and the familiar severe pain tore his body apart. In this supposedly safe dojo, he fell down and fell into the depths of the abyss. Someone called his name behind him, However, the feeling of falling is endless, almost suffocating.Until someone held him tightly, calling him, telling him to leave the rioting ghosts, and lead him back to the world of mortals.
The voice echoed in his ears, even overwhelming the pain in his body. He finally opened his eyes, and blood gushed out from his chest. The father's back, that figure is still so tall, so resolute, like a mountain that will never collapse, firmly guarding in front of him.
Someone broke their ban and disturbed Huangquan Road. At the age of 8, he didn't know what happened, only pain and fear.But now, he understands that they are in an ambush. Someone uses the forbidden area as the center to absorb ghost power and arrange a big formation to reverse the destiny. That person wants to kill him and his father.
And that person, too, almost succeeded.
In the severe pain, Zhang Xiuqi also thought of what happened afterwards, he remembered his father holding him for a long distance, he remembered the talisman that he drew with his life, he remembered the scene when the soul arresting formation began to draw soul power.He shouldn't have survived, but at the moment of dying, he saw a slender figure standing in front of him. It was a woman in white with long black hair, and her whole body exuded the fluorescence that can only be seen on moonlit nights.She helped him stop the fatal blow.
A soul flew out of the chest, but it did not dissipate, but followed the mother's figure and fell into a joint.
After that, everything became chaotic.The figures of the parents dissipated and turned into other grotesque things.Zhang Xiuqi began to struggle, the pain has not dissipated, but hatred and anger have replaced everything!Why did it become like this?Who is going to kill them!He wants to find the person who set up the formation, and he wants to kill that person with his own hands to avenge his parents!
In addition to being angry, there was a small voice whispering why he was left behind, he shouldn't have survived, he shouldn't have survived alone...
The pain swept down, Zhang Xiuqi made a whooping sound in his throat, and trembled violently.
&&&
The sunlight outside the window shone in through the curtains, eliminating the darkness and haze in the room. Zeng Jingxuan rubbed his eyes wearily. Someone had already dealt with the two descending magicians downstairs, and one of them was killed by the formation. The other had his soul completely scattered and became a vegetable, and he probably wouldn't live for long.It was a big victory, but he didn't feel any joy in his heart, he just felt exhausted.
The night passed, and the two people who were sleeping still failed to wake up.Zhang Xiuqi's physical condition has returned to stability, even if his soul has been out of the body for too long, he should be conscious, but he just lay so quietly, even the Requiem Charm or the Pure Heart Charm couldn't make him open his eyes.On the other side, Wei Yang was also in a coma, having consumed too much vitality, and it was impossible to recover in just a few hours.It seems that this witch bone is more domineering than imagined, no wonder the bone formation is always a legend, no one knows its usage.
However, it's not a problem for the two of them to lie down like this. He tried everything he could to bring them back to consciousness that night. Could it be that they can only wait like this?
Wiping his face and suppressing the pain in his chest, he was about to get up and get some incense sticks back when Zhang Xiuqi suddenly started shaking, the shaking was so violent that even the thin hospital bed started to rattle, Zeng Jingxuan immediately He rushed up and grabbed his arm: "Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you, Xiao Qi?"
Before his words fell to the ground, Wei Yang, who was lying on the side, suddenly twitched, and held the hands that were still stuck together. His fingers were soft and weak, and he couldn't even hold the other's palm firmly. He failed to open his eyes, but under the comfort of this palm, Zhang Xiuqi's endless trembling slowly stopped, Zeng Jingxuan opened his eyes wide, and held his arm even tighter: "Little Qi, Wake up quickly! Your heavenly soul is back! Wake up quickly!"
This call tore through the fog of consciousness. Zhang Xiuqi's closed eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. There was still a trace of bewilderment in his eyes, but soon, the bewilderment disappeared, and his eyes were locked on Zeng Jingxuan. , as if looking at the other party's appearance in disbelief, after a long time, he said in a low voice: "Uncle?"
It's like he doesn't recognize him.Zeng Jingxuan didn't care, this was a sign of the return of the Heavenly Soul. Although Xiao Qi had been alive for 20 years, his consciousness was not so clear, and the memories he could leave behind would not be complete. He still needed some time to restore everything. Integrate in place.There was a soothing smile on the corner of her lips, Zeng Jingxuan nodded: "It's me, Xiao Qi, it's me."
For a moment, unspeakable grief and pain flashed in Zhang Xiuqi's eyes, he struggled to sit up, wanted to ask some questions, wanted to tell the other party something, but something caught him, it was an arm, someone Holding his palm tightly, looking along that arm, Zhang Xiuqi was stunned, only to see a young man lying there, eyes drooping, breath scattered, just sleeping beside him.
Who is this?
He couldn't make up such a figure in his mixed memory, but he looked so familiar, Zhang Xiuqi unconsciously let go of that hand, and stepped back slightly, but he couldn't escape, the young man unexpectedly He grabbed his wrist again, like a weak vine, loosely wrapped around him, but unremittingly.
His hands trembled, and just for a moment, he closed his eyes, and a flood of memories flooded up, chaotic, complicated, and crashing memories, his head seemed to be about to explode, Zhang Xiuqi bent his body, counting countless Qing's image collided and shattered in his mind, as if it wanted to tear his body apart.
The arm that embraced him never let go, and the hot temperature came from the tiger's mouth, as if comforting his soul. The moment before he was crushed, Zhang Xiuqi clenched that hand. What did he think of? , remembered something very important.
Before fainting again, he remembered a name: "Wei Yang."
