Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains Chapter 33: Destroy the demon

After some careful analysis, Chang Lingyun's mind quickly remembered the Taoist priest Shi Mingyi mentioned to him yesterday. So he made a thunderous stride and ran to Shi Mingyi's side like lightning.

"Master Shi, do you still remember the Taoist priest you mentioned to me yesterday"

"Remember, remember, please ask the Prime Minister, why do you ask this?"

Shi Mingyi asked with a puzzled face, and Chang Lingyun turned his back to him and explained to him

"This drought is definitely not an ordinary drought. I think it must be some demon from the demon world. I think the Taoist priest you mentioned yesterday must know something."

Shi Mingyi did not doubt Chang Lingyun's judgment at all, he asked directly

"What does the Prime Minister need to know about the Taoist priest?"

Chang Lingyun turned his head, facing Shi Mingyi and simply said two words

"Name"

"Name?"

"Yes, it's the person's name. After knowing the person's name, I can use the universal mirror to locate the Taoist priest"

But Shi Mingyi is really embarrassed about this issue, because he doesn't know the name of the Taoist priest at all, and he has never seen the Taoist priest before

"This is the first time I have heard of this Taoist Xiaguan, and I have never seen it before. When he was rude and cursed me in the Ming Dynasty, Xiaguan ordered him to be expelled from Luzhou Prefecture without a trial. I've never seen a face."

After listening to Shi Mingyi's words, Chang Lingyun reprimanded sharply

"How can you be so sloppy, this is an important clue to solve this drought, you are so sloppy and irresponsible, how did you act as a prefect"

Faced with Chang Lingyun's accusation, Shi Mingyi didn't dare to refute, he lowered his head and hurriedly arched his arms to admit his mistake

"What the Prime Minister reprimands is that the subordinates know their mistakes"

Just when Chang Lingyun couldn't find this important clue, Wang Guomin gave him an idea

"Lord Prime Minister, you might as well ask the local people in Luzhou near the Taoist temple, maybe they will know"

As a result, Chang Lingyun soon came to the Taoist temple where the Taoist priest once practiced under the leadership of Shi Mingyi, and then gathered all the people living in the Taoist temple to ask the question

"Folks, can you recognize who the previous owner of this Taoist temple was? He was the one who was expelled by the prefect of Luzhou because of his slanderous words"

One of the local residents replied

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, I know this Taoist priest. When I asked him about the weather a month ago, he said that there will be a severe drought here in a month. I didn't expect it to come true"

After listening to the words of the local resident, Chang Lingyun felt more and more that the legendary Taoist priest was definitely not an ordinary person. Maybe this strange drought really had something to do with him; but what Chang Lingyun was more concerned about was the His rumor about Ming's exhausted vigor, in order to understand the doubts in happiness, he must go to meet the Taoist

"Then tell me what the Taoist priest's name is?"

"Back to the Prime Minister, his name is Wang Qiankun"

"Wang Qiankun?"

Chang Lingyun repeated the name of the Taoist priest for a while, and then said to Wang Guomin and Shi Mingyi

"I'm going to find that Taoist priest named Wang Qiankun now, you stay here for me to continue helping the victims"

After speaking, he turned his eyes to Wu Ruoyun standing beside him and continued to say

"Also take good care of her for me"

At this time, Shi Mingyi and Wang Guomin raised their arms at the same time and said

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, please rest assured, the lowly post will be done accordingly"

"Okay, I'll go"

After finishing speaking, Chang Lingyun pulled out the Lingyun sword from his waist and threw it into the sky. After the sword became bigger, he jumped to the sword; then he took the sword and flew like a bolt of lightning. to one direction, disappearing in a clear sky.

According to the positioning and navigation of the Universal Qiankun Mirror, Chang Lingyun easily found the Taoist priest named Wang Qiankun; when he landed only 500 meters away from the ground, he saw a man dressed in white, with a childlike appearance. , The handsome and handsome young man is stroking a jade-colored green violin below, and is playing a beautiful music melody, making Chang Lingyun, who has not yet landed on the ground at this time, listen to it with fascination. drunk. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Chang Lingyun, who was suspended in mid-air and had not yet descended, and said softly to him

"If you're here, then come down"

As a result, Chang Lingyun quickly landed on the ground like a meteorite with lightning speed

"You are Wang Qiankun?"

The young man replied in a loud voice

"Exactly"

After finishing speaking, he put Yuqin aside and said to Chang Lingyun lightly

"I know you're coming for me"

After listening to Wang Qiankun's words, Chang Lingyun felt more and more that this person was very unusual, he was definitely not a Taoist priest in the human world

"Since you know that I'm coming to find you, it can be seen that you are not from the human world. Could it be that your Excellency is from the fairy world, and I am the same person"

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Wang Qiankun said nothing, picked up the jade pipa that had been thrown aside, and played a powerful sound wave to attack Chang Lingyun; Chang Lingyun saw that the situation was not good, Hurrying to dodge the thunderous steps, the sound wave hit the boulder behind Chang Lingyun, and the boulder instantly turned into a mass of powder; Chang Lingyun looked at the boulder that turned into powder behind him, and soon realized that this person must be thinking Putting him to death, I suspect that he is the demon who brought down the drought and brought misery to the people of Shanxi

"You demon, why did you suddenly attack? Was the drought in Shanxi Province yours?"

Wang Qiankun not only did not respond at this time, but instead launched more sound waves to attack Chang Lingyun; Chang Lingyun quickly avoided Wang Qiankun's attack. After avoiding more than 20 sound waves, Chang Lingyun couldn't bear it. He drew out the Lingyun sword and roared

"You demon, don't answer if you ask me, but attack me instead. What do you mean by doing this? If you do this again, I will fight back"

Wang Qiankun finally spoke at this time

"If you want to fight back, you can fight back, but you must try your best to fight, otherwise you will not be able to beat me"

"You're so sure that I can't beat you? You can't beat you, but you can only compete with one another"

Therefore, Chang Lingyun angrily drew out the sword, threw the scabbard aside, and rose into the air, holding Lingyun's sword tightly with both hands, and slashing at the sound waves that came galloping, After a while, it soon turned into a fiery red meteor, attacking like lightning towards Wang Qiankun, who was using the jade piano to launch a sonic attack. disappear. After a while, Chang Lingyun heard a voice coming from the air behind him

"Chang Lingyun, I'm here"

Chang Lingyun turned his head and looked at Wang Qiankun, who was hanging in the air behind him, holding Yuqin in his arms; before he could react, he saw a blue lightning strike behind him; but fortunately, Chang Lingyun was very sensitive to dodge past.

"This man is so powerful"

Chang Lingyun said secretly in his heart, but he didn't expect the other party to even know what he was thinking

"Chang Shaoxia, I won the prize"

After listening to Wang Qiankun's words, Chang Lingyun asked with a puzzled expression

"Who has complimented you?"

Wang Qiankun caressed the jade piano and slowly landed on the ground like fallen leaves and said

"Didn't you just praise Pindao in your heart?"

Wang Qiankun's answer made Chang Lingyun even more incredible

"How do you know what's on my mind?"

"Hahaha, how can you possibly hide from me your superficial behavior"

After hearing this sentence, Chang Lingyun felt more and more that Wang Qiankun was definitely not an ordinary Taoist

"Who are you, why are you so powerful? If you are a righteous man in the fairy world, why do you want to bring disaster to the human world?"

What Chang Lingyun never expected was that Wang Qiankun was willing to automatically admit his true identity

"Chang Shaoxia really has good eyesight, he guessed at a glance that I am from the fairyland, but if you want to know who I am, unless you can beat me"

"Okay, then I'll fight you until you confess"

After he finished speaking, he used his best phantom swordsmanship, trying to confuse the opponent's vision with this attack in order to win by surprise. It is a pity that Wang Qiankun was one of the top players in chess. He used the jade piano in his hand to play sound waves and shattered the countless phantoms created by Chang Lingyun one by one. After the phantoms were broken, Chang Lingyun himself was quickly revealed. At that time, Wang Qiankun hurriedly released a trapped immortal rope from his sleeve to bind Chang Lingyun's body, while Chang Lingyun struggled hard to get rid of the trapped immortal rope, but who knew that the more he struggled, the stronger the binding became. bigger;

"You don't have to struggle anymore. The more you struggle, the tighter the rope will bind you, and in the end you will be strangled to death by it; with your current practice, you simply have no ability to compete with the demon world. I really don't understand why your master chose you to be the savior of the world"

After speaking, he said contemptuously

"I advise you to admit defeat, otherwise I will let this sleepy immortal rope strangle you alive"

And Chang Lingyun's desire and will to break free is still so firm, with his personality that would rather die than give in, he will not succumb to Wang Qiankun's lewd power

"I will surrender unless I die. My master has never taught me to surrender since the day I can remember"

"Oh, yes? Then let me teach you"

After he finished speaking, Wang Qiankun chanted a spell to make the power of the trapped immortal rope tighten. At this time, Chang Lingyun had been trapped by the immortal rope and could not breathe. His lips were white and his eyes were black. , as if he was about to suffocate; and Wang Qiankun never meant to let him go, he continued to chant the spell, as if he really intended to let the sleepy immortal rope strangle Chang Lingyun to death. However, just when Chang Lingyun was trapped in the immortal rope and was about to die, a miracle occurred. Suddenly, a mysterious white gas appeared on Chang Lingyun's body and surrounded Chang Lingyun's body in a circle; and Wang Qiankun actually knew for a long time that this was a mass of immortal energy possessed by the gods in the heavens; When all the white fairy energy was concentrated on Chang Lingyun, Chang Lingyun opened his eyes and let out a loud roar. With the sound of a loud noise when the surroundings of his body vibrated, the trapped fairy rope on his body was almost broken by him; After seeing this scene, Wang Qiankun was suddenly scared into a cold sweat, he said excitedly and nervously

"This...is this the potential power in Chang Lingyun?"

Before he had time to finish his words, Chang Lingyun was suddenly hit with a thunderbolt palm in his chest; after the palm was hit, Wang Qiankun was quickly pushed aside by Chang Lingyun's palm; it seems, Chang Lingyun's palm didn't hurt any hair at all; after seeing this situation, Chang Lingyun sighed

"How come my palm didn't have any effect on him, it's amazing"

The immortal energy on Chang Lingyun's body disappeared without a trace at this time; when he was about to launch a second round of attacks on Wang Qiankun, Wang Qiankun suddenly shouted to Chang Lingyun

"Stop fighting, I decided to throw in the towel, you've won"

After listening to Wang Qiankun's words, Chang Lingyun was startled and stared at Wang Qiankun with a look of surprise. He didn't believe that Wang Qiankun would actually make such a decision

"What did you say?"

"I said I gave up, you can now know my true identity"

"But you didn't fight me with all your strength"

"Winning or losing is not so important to me anymore. I have seen the latent power in you and proved to me that you are strong, and it is meaningless to fight again"

After speaking, Wang Qiankun stroked Yuqin and turned around on the spot, revealing his original shape; when Chang Lingyun saw Wang Qiankun showing his true original shape, he was instantly stunned, because Wang Qiankun The original form that appears is none other than his teacher Wuji Zhenren

"Master, how could it be you?"

When Chang Lingyun saw Master, he immediately knelt down and salutes

"Disciple Meets Master"

Reverend Wuji smiled and helped Chang Lingyun, who was kneeling on the ground, and said

"Good disciples, please get up quickly"

After standing up, Chang Lingyun asked the question he was about to ask with his inner doubts

"Master, why are you here?"

The real person Wuji patiently explained to Chang Lingyun

"We are here to find you as a teacher"

"Master, what are you looking for?"

"I am looking for you for my teacher and want to give you this jade qin. This jade qin is a treasure handed down by the founder of the mountain. It is powerful and infinite. It can sweep away all immortality in the world and dissolve all the ills in the world. You will need it later"

After he finished speaking, he handed the jade qin to Chang Lingyun. Since it was a treasure sent by the master, Chang Lingyun could only accept it calmly, because he knew that the master gave him such a treasure must have a purpose; After Chang Lingyun took the jade qin with both hands, the real Wuji continued to say

"Any dynasty has its end date. The Ming Dynasty has not ruled the human world for a long time. No matter how much you help, it can't change the fate of its demise; you should conform to nature and accept the reality"

After listening to the words of Master Wuji, Chang Lingyun shook his head and strongly objected

"No, this is absolutely impossible. The Ming Dynasty is now rich and the people are strong, and its politics are clear.

"What you see is only the appearance, and what the teacher sees is the real thing, because the teacher has already foreseen the sign of the Ming Dynasty's destruction in the future. You know why Shanxi is so strange all of a sudden Is it a drought? It’s because of the appearance of a monster called a scorpion, do you know what a scorpion is?”

Chang Lingyun quickly shook his head, arched his arms and replied

"Returning to the master, the disciple does not know"

So, the real Wuji patiently explained to him

"The dry bay is a mythical beast in ancient times. It can cause severe droughts. Whenever it appears, it means that the fate of this dynasty has come to an end; when the Yuan Dynasty fell, Chen Youliang I've seen this beast before"

After speaking, Wuji Zhenren continued to say

"Lingyun, you still shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the world. Bo Duojin and Ziyan have resurrected Xingtian who was sealed by Xuanyuan Huangdi for more than 5,000 years. At that time, the whole world will be plunged into darkness. The world's restoration of light is just in your mind. You have a very powerful potential power, and this power can completely compete with evil forces. It's a pity that you are superficial and cannot stimulate your potential power. You can only rely on you. In the future, I will stimulate this power by myself.”

What Chang Lingyun is most concerned about is still the legend between the scorpion and the fate of the dynasty

"Master, Disciple is determined to assist the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly. Even if the Ming Dynasty really comes to an end, Disciple will definitely bring it back to life. As long as Disciple exists in the human world one day, Disciple will never stop. I will watch the Ming Dynasty perish before my eyes"

"Then if one day, the entire four worlds are about to be annexed by the demon world, would you continue to assist Daming, or would you be willing to save God?"

Chang Lingyun replied firmly

"Of course that is to save God"

But he still hasn't forgotten his duty and determination to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty

"But I also want to assist Daming, because Tu'er's ancestor is Chang Yuchun, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, so I cannot abandon this duty"

After speaking, he arched his arms and said respectfully to his master Wuji Zhenren

"Master take care, the disciple is going to subdue the drought demon now"

After he finished speaking, he drove the Lingyun Sword to the sky, searched for the route of positioning and navigation with the Universal Universe Mirror, and flew towards the lair where the dry squirrel was hiding, while the Wuji Zhenren stood there and shook his head helplessly.

After flying in the sky for a while, Chang Lingyun finally found the nest of the squid. When he landed at the mouth of the scorpion's lair, he took the Lingyun sword back into his own hand, then clenched the sword, and used the golden light on the sword to search for the scorpion hidden in the cave. When Chang Lingyun walked towards the inside of the cave for a while, he suddenly heard a shrill sound similar to a pig coming from not far in front of him, Chang Lingyun said secretly in his heart: "This should be the sound of a dry squid. , it looks like it's inside." When he continued to walk a few steps forward, he suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something strange, and he used the golden light on the sword to look down, it turned out to be a large pile of mutilated human and animal skeletons.

"This must be something that was spit out after being eaten by this beast"

After he finished speaking, he continued to walk in the direction from which the voice came. After walking more than fifty steps, he finally found the ancient mythical beast called the scorpion. I saw that it was turning its back to itself, eating with great concentration

"It turns out that you are the beast that hurts people"

Hearing someone talking behind him, the shark immediately turned around and faced Chang Lingyun like a conditioned reflex. He saw that the monster had two tentacles on its head, and had human-like limbs and a body. Three times the size of a human, but with a red tail behind him, blood-red fish scales all over his body, eyes as big as bowls, a mouth as wide as a crocodile, and teeth that look like sharp teeth. The sword is as long and sharp as a sword. Although it looks so terrifying, Chang Lingyun doesn't feel any fear in his heart

"Did you bring down the disaster in Shanxi Province?"

The scorpion didn't say a word. It spread the sharp claws on its right limb and attacked in the direction where Chang Lingyun was standing, but was easily dodged by a flip by Chang Lingyun. When Chang Lingyun landed on the ground, he said

"So this beast can't speak"

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, the dry squirrel spit out a golden gas from his mouth and attacked in the direction where he was standing. In desperation, Chang Lingyun used his inner jump to reach a height of five meters from the ground. When the golden gas touched the ground in the cave, the ground quickly turned into a piece of sand. When he landed on a boulder in the cave, he couldn't help saying

"It was so dangerous just now, if it weren't for the quick escape, I would have been turned into a ball of sand by this beast"

When Chang Lingyun finished saying this, another golden gas hit the boulder he was standing on. The boulder soon turned into a ball of fine sand, and Chang Lingyun used the levitation technique to fly to the In mid-air, he took out his Universal Universe Mirror from his arms, and chanted a spell in mid-air to spray a mixture of black dog blood and boy urine from the mirror. The squirrel let out a shrill scream as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid; at this moment, Chang Lingyun pulled out the Lingyun sword from his waist, then chopped off the squid's head like lightning, and the squid's body was shaking. After a while, he fell down quickly.

At this time, an unexpected and wonderful scene soon appeared in the entire Luzhou area of ​​Shanxi; the many acres of farmland that had been dried up before suddenly regained their former vitality, and all the farmland grew a There were large green seedlings, and a few clear rivers suddenly appeared on the riverbeds that had been dredged by Chang Lingyun before. At this time, Chang Lingyun, who had killed the dry squirrel, landed on the Lingyun sword and landed in the middle of the line formed by the prefects of Luzhou and Shanxi, along with the central officials and Wu Ruoyun's people in Luzhou. When he took the Lingyun sword back to the scabbard, he said to the people of Luzhou

"Folks in Luzhou, the drought you encountered was not an ordinary drought. It was because of a monster that was working here in your Luzhou, and the disaster caused you to suffer so much. Now, the monster has been killed by me, Folks in Luzhou, you will never encounter drought again in the future"

As soon as Chang Lingyun's words fell, there was a burst of cheers and cheers from all around him. The people of Luzhou were overjoyed and praised Chang Lingyun as a good official who served the country and the people. At this moment, Wu Ruoyun walked up to Chang Lingyun with a smile and said

"Brother Lingyun, I'm fortunate to you, you see that you are already sweating profusely from exhaustion, let me wipe the sweat for you"

Chang Lingyun looked at Wu Ruoyun's eyes with affection and said to her

"Thank you, Xiao Qi"

After speaking, Wu Ruoyun gently wiped the sweat on his face

At this time, Wang Guomin, the prefect of Shanxi Province, said to him

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, you have done so many good things for the people of Shanxi Province, I really don't know how to thank you"

Luzhou prefect Shi Mingyi also said at this time

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, on behalf of all the people of Luzhou, I would like to express my gratitude to you"

Chang Lingyun arched his arms and replied

"Wang Zhifu, Shi Zhifu, your words are serious. It is my duty as an official to do things for the people of Shanxi Province. This is what I should do"

Just after Chang Lingyun said this, a little girl with a bowl of water in her hand walked over from the ranks of the people in Luzhou. She said to Chang Lingyun while holding the water

"Uncle Prime Minister, this is what my father and mother asked me to bring to you. We don't have anything good for you. We can only thank you for this bowl of water"

Chang Lingyun gently patted the **** the shoulder, then took the bowl of water and said to the girl

"Thank you little girl"

After he finished speaking, he picked up the bowl of water and drank all the water in the bowl
