Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 295 The missing Nangong Qingqiu

More than half a step.

A post station wandering between the world of heaven and the road of hell.

Living people can enter the underworld from here, and dead people can also enter the world of the sun.

creak-

The old and dilapidated door panel was pushed open, and the billowing fog and the cold wind rolled into the inn. Two figures stood at the door.

In the lobby of the inn, a dozen tables were scattered around.

A group of gloomy old monks slowly raised their heads and glanced at the door.

Is this more than half a step?

Stepping into this room that was filled with a strong and cold atmosphere, Qi Xiu calmly scanned the lobby, with purple intention flowing in his eyes, observing the sitting monks.

The energy is dry and the light is mottled.

Almost all of them are old people who are nearing their longevity.

Ok?

And...a few evil cultivators?

His eyes rested on a table in the corner, surrounded by two rickety men with pale skin, black nails, and a breath of blood and sinisterness.

"Are there also demons and evil cultivators coming and going here?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Qi Xiu asked Tian Mingtang, who was following closely and looking slightly nervous.

"There are no demons, but there are some evil cultivators." Tian Mingtang replied, forcing himself to appear calmer.

"No one cares about them?"

Raising his eyebrows, Qi Xiu slowly clasped his right hand into a magic formula in his hanging sleeves.

"Most of the people who come here are old and dying, looking for ways to extend their lives. Fighting with others, there is no guarantee that they will not be injured.

So most people have the mentality that doing more is worse than doing less. "

"Oh, that's it."

Nodding thoughtfully, Qi Xiu turned sideways and looked at the two evil cultivators.

At this moment, the two evil cultivators also felt a hint of uneasiness.

Just as he was about to turn his head to look for it, two rays of lightning suddenly flashed away.

boom!

Before even letting out a scream, the two evil cultivators were directly beaten into two charred corpses by Lei Mang.

The tyrannical aura of Yang Zhigang instantly evaporated the coldness in this inn.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xiu would kill him as soon as he arrived, and his attack would be extremely terrifying. The monks sitting in the hall immediately stood up and looked at him in surprise and fear.

Having fought all the way through the entire Dian and Sichuan provinces, Qi Xiu was now in full swing.

As soon as the murderous intention moved, the murderous aura all over his body turned into a raging aura, which made the void tremble and was extremely terrifying.

"Is the person in charge here?"

Slowly walking to the center of the lobby, Qi Xiu slowly spoke.

The sullen old monks all retreated to a corner at this moment, panicking and curiously looking at the sudden arrival of the great monk of Lei Fa in front of them.

"In the……"

Behind the counter in the corner, a trembling hand was raised. A short man wearing a short coat and a melon skin hat, less than 1.2 meters tall, with a pockmarked face walked out with a sneer on his face.

"I...I am the second shopkeeper here. Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"I'm going to Bai Coffin Mountain. Could you please show me the way?"

Lowering his eyes and glancing at the second shopkeeper who was more than half a step away, Qi Xiu's eyes moved slightly.

dead?

Alien?

Not seeing a trace of the vitality that a living thing should have from the second shopkeeper, Qi Xiu's eyes widened with purple meaning. He pushed aside the rich energy in his body and understood the root cause.

It turns out that it is a fermented pot...

It is recorded in "Yiming Baiwenlu".

In the sand sea of ​​Huangquan, there is a strange type called a fermented pot. It looks like a copper pot and has a human face. It lies day and night and comes out. If you encounter it, you can know how long it will last...

"It's rumored that the fermented pot has a method of measuring longevity. Come on, let's see how long Mr. Qi's life is."

Raising his hand to grab the little man transformed from the fermentation pot in front of him, Qi Xiu chuckled.

"Okay, okay, I'll show you, don't hurt me."

Although he was an outlier from the underworld, Fenhu's own combat power was extremely poor. Facing the murderous and abyss-like Thunder Technique monk in front of him, he nodded in panic, fearing that if he was unhappy, he would also turn himself into charcoal.

With a thought in his mind, Feng Hu turned away from his human form and transformed into a strange copper pot with a whole body of bronze and a big smiling face on the front.

Taking advantage of his miraculous talent, Fenhu's eyes suddenly flashed with a dim light on his smiling face.

The next moment!

"Uh-huh!"

A shrill howl resounded for more than half a step, and the Fenhu's eyes burst into blood as he yelled crazily:

"Lamp...Lamp! What a big lamp!"

Hearing the sound, Qi Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.

Damn it, I forgot about it.

I have human virtues to protect my body, which will blind and counterattack all methods of divination. It seems that this method of observing longevity is also included.

The fermented teapot observed my longevity, which caused a backlash of humane merits.

After screaming for a moment, the harsh screams gradually subsided until Fenhu's eyes gradually recovered.

At this moment, Fenghu looked at Qi Xiu with even more fear and fear.

Just now he summoned the power of observing longevity and looked at the great monk in front of him.

In an instant, thousands of feet of golden light burst out in front of his eyes. An ancient, simple, shining lamp stood on it. The extremely bright and dazzling light was like ten thousand needles piercing his eyes at the same time.

Originally, he just wanted to see how long he would live, but he didn't expect it to end up like this. Qi Xiu reluctantly let go of the brewing pot.

“Since you can’t see it, forget it.

As I said before, could you please take me to Bai Coffin Mountain? "

"Not now. Only the big shopkeeper knows the route to Bai Coffin Mountain. He sent the previous batch of guests there two days ago, and it will take at least five more days before he can come back."

After a quick explanation, Fenhu moved his body a little away from Qi Xiu.

<divclass="contentadv">"Five days?"

Qi Xiu frowned slightly and pursed his lips.

"Then do you remember whether these two people were here some time ago."

With a wave of his sleeve, Qi Xiu used water vapor to condense the delicate silhouettes of Wei Wuji and Nangong.

If Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister were really seriously injured, they would come here to save their lives.

If he had really entered Bai Coffin Mountain, he wouldn't care about these five days.

Forced by Qi Xiu's power, Fenhu sat up and squinted to carefully identify the appearance of Wei Wuji and Nangong Qingqiu.

Then he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded firmly.

"Been here, about a month ago, these two came to us together for more than half a step.

At that time, the man was seriously injured and was already on his deathbed.

The woman was slightly better, but she seemed to have been possessed by some kind of secret spell. She was delirious and couldn't even speak a complete sentence. I could only rely on writing to know what she wanted to do. "

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiu's pupils suddenly shrank.

"and then?"

"Then the woman left some dirty money and asked us to send the man to Bai Coffin Mountain, and then she left in a hurry..."

Feeling the murderous intent suddenly boiling all over the body of the great Leifa monk in front of him, the sound of the fermentation pot became smaller and smaller, fearing that he would be angered.

"Then when she left, did she leave any words behind or any special actions?"

Suppressing his anger, Qi Xiu continued to ask about the fermented pot in front of him.

"Sir, I really didn't pay attention to this. There are many guests coming and going every day for more than half a step, and I only remember them coming."

Squeezing out an ugly smile, Fenghu explained in a low voice with his teeth chattering.

"When that girl left, she seemed to have been muttering the words Wuhuigu..."

Just when Qi Xiu's eyes were getting colder and he was about to search his soul to see if this strange man in the fermented pot was lying, an old monk with a haggard face and messy hair and beard suddenly spoke weakly.

"No Return Valley? Are you sure?"

Quickly arriving in front of the old monk, Qi Xiu looked at his expression with blazing eyes and a vast coercion.

"I, I'm sure... there weren't many people in the lobby that day, except for me, the rest went to Bai Coffin Mountain.

As soon as the girl entered the door, she kept talking about the Valley of No Return, as if she had a nightmare.

His eyes were confused and his face was struggling.

When I finally left, I took a look at the door.

She seemed to have been slapped in the back by someone, and there were traces of animal claws on her palm..."

"Thank you."

Throwing a pot of elixir and a stack of cloud seal talismans to the old monk, Qi Xiu's eyes moved slightly, and he walked to a chair and sat down.

Let’s look at the current clues.

The sequence of events is probably clear.

The eldest brother and second senior sister must have discovered something crucial, and they were attacked and killed by the demon king in the Taoist realm.

The eldest brother is dying, and the second senior sister is also seriously injured, and even her mind has been clouded.

No wonder the Dharma letter she gave me was in confusing handwriting and confusing sentences. It just mentioned Bai Coffin Mountain repeatedly.

Use this to remind me to save senior brother.

Wuhui Valley... is another place that is not recorded on the map of Yunnan and Sichuan.

The top priority now is to rescue the senior brother first. Perhaps he is the only one who knows where the Valley of No Return is and where the second senior sister has gone.

With a decision in his heart, Qi Xiu suddenly stood up.

Seeing the great monk Leifa standing up, all the monks in the lobby became nervous again.

"When your big shopkeeper comes back, ask him to wait for me here and not leave.

If I don't see him when I come back.

I just took more than half a step! "

Picking up the fermentation pot, Qi Xiu turned over his hand and took out a handful of pills, pouring them all into his mouth.

"I know that you are an alien, with tenacious vitality and will not die easily.

But what I feed you are top-notch torturous elixirs.

It won't kill you, but it will make your life worse than death.

So don't even think about running. "

After doing all this, Qi Xiu called back the sullen old monks in the lobby, and each of them gave them some elixirs and a few cloud seal talismans.

They were told to keep an eye on the fermentation pot, and if it moved abnormally, they would directly sacrifice the talisman to destroy it.

Afterward, he would give them enough elixirs to break through the realm.

In response to Qi Xiu's request, the old monks nodded repeatedly and promised to complete the task without any mistakes.

After arranging everything, Qi Xiu handed Tian Mingtang a sword gourd talisman and gave him a "you know" look.

"Don't worry, benefactor."

Knowing what Qi Xiu meant, Tian Mingtang nodded:

"I'll stay here and won't leave for a moment."

After arranging everything, Qi Xiu opened the door more than half a step and returned to Dianchuan.

Senior Brother's injury must be extremely serious.

With his methods, it might be difficult to cure him, and he would have to go back to his sect and ask his master for help.

In five days, it should be about the same amount of time to go back and forth to Shenxiao Sect.

Kneading the magic formula with one hand, Qi Xiu turned into a bolt of lightning and soared into the sky, speeding straight towards the Shenxiao Sect.
