In the southwest of Jingling County, at the junction of Zhangshui and Jushui, two tributaries of the Yangtze River, a large triangular fertile plain was carved out. The two rivers gurgled through, irrigating the fertile fields on both sides, and finally merged into the river.
The climate here is mild, the soil is fertile, and the products are abundant. It is the wilderness where Pegasus Ranch is located. The pasture is particularly rich. It is surrounded by mountains and forms a fertile field. There are only two east and west gorges for entry and exit. The terrain is dangerous, forming a natural A barrier to protect the pasture, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
However, this is only for ordinary people. For an unparalleled master like Jiang Chen, the Pegasus Ranch is still heavily guarded and cannot stop his intrusion. What's more, he deliberately suppressed his aura.
Without alerting anyone, Jiang Chen entered the Pegasus Ranch and ran directly to the back mountain without stopping to find Lu Miaozi, "the most skilled craftsman in the world."
The back mountain is extraordinary, poetic and elegant. It is truly one of the best places in the world. Even Jiang Chen felt he admired it very much.
After walking through a bamboo forest and a waterfall, after walking a long gravel path, I came to the small woods behind. I saw a two-story building facing the cliff below, with the words "Comfortable Home" written on it. A big character. As soon as Jiang Chenfang arrived at the door of this "comfort house", he felt the internal energy stirring on the second floor of the small building. It seemed that someone had taken action, but there was only one person who felt the breath. Jiang Chen couldn't help but wonder: "Is this old man Lu Miaozi still practicing kung fu?" ? It’s really good, but it shouldn’t be! Logically speaking, this guy should be dead soon, how can he have the energy to practice? "
Out of curiosity, Jiang Chen did not go through the main entrance, but rose up from the ground, flew straight up, and flew straight into the second floor hall from the second floor window. He saw an old man sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed directly on the right side of the second floor hall. That old man E Guan. Bo Dai has a very special face, simple and original. The eagle's eyes are deep and dark, and the long black eyebrows on his eyes extend to the piebald temples, and the other ends are connected at the bridge of the ears. Melancholy wrinkles appear at the corners of his mouth and under his eyes, making him look unwilling. Worried about worldly affairs, tired and sad look. The bridge of his nose is as straight and powerful as his waist, coupled with the tightly pressed lips that naturally reveal arrogance, and the slender and clean face, he looks like a prince and aristocrat who once enjoyed all the wealth and glory in the world, but is now despairing.
He was completely clothed, and the most important thing was that his old, simple and ancient face was stained with a layer of black air, and there were drops of black blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, dots of blood on the loose white robe he was wearing. .
Jiang Chen was such a person, he could tell as soon as he saw that the demonic energy in Lu Miaozi's body was breaking out. The old man was using his energy to fight against it. Looking at the black blood oozing out from the corner of his mouth, he really didn't have long to live.
Lu Miaozi opened her eyes slightly when she heard the noise, and saw a young man in white clothes in his twenties or thirties standing in front of him in the hall. Although his appearance was ordinary, his aura was sometimes ethereal and sometimes ethereal, as if he were an ordinary person or an immortal descended into the world.
"I'm Xia Jiangchen. It's rude to come here without permission."
Jiang Chen smiled and said: "However, although it is presumptuous, it is a coincidence, so let me come down and help Master Lu." After that, before Lu Miaozi could react, he jumped behind Lu Miaozi, stretched out his hands, After pressing it, the true essence of creation was immediately poured into Lu Miaozi's body.
As soon as Jiang Chen activated the true essence of creation to enter Lu Miaozi's body, he found that the old man was really going to run out of gas. The meridians in his body were riddled with holes, and the wounds were still full of demonic aura. As for the Dantian, there was a big ball. The demonic energy was raging. Fortunately, Lu Miaozi also practiced Taoist mystical skills and was the best at maintaining health. However, this demonic energy absorbed the true energy and essence in Lu Miaozi's body to strengthen itself and robbed a lot of Lu Miaozi's internal strength.
"Master Lu, I want to heal your injuries. You must put away your inner strength. Remember not to resist."
Lu Miaozi forced herself to speak: "Sir, just do what you want. I believe you have no ill intentions towards me. Otherwise, you can take the opportunity to give me a slap. There is no need to be so complicated."
"ha!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately responded with a chuckle, and immediately activated the true essence of creation to enter Lu Miaozi's dantian. The power of destruction absorbed the demonic energy in Lu Miaozi's dantian. The power of creation nourished the meridians in Lu Miaozi's body and healed his internal injuries. .
Lu Miaozi followed Jiang Chen's arrangement to channel his energy back to his original state, put away his inner strength, and allowed Jiang Chen to do whatever he wanted. When the true energy of creation entered his body, he immediately noticed it, thinking that he had been injured for more than thirty years and suffered from demons every day. The pain of raging qi is so familiar to the demonic qi. The power of destruction is more demonic than any magic in the world, so Lu Miaozi was inevitably shocked: Could this person be a member of the demon sect and come here to harm me
But then I thought, this shouldn't be the case. After all, if Jiang Chen really came to harm him, he could be killed with just one palm, so why bother
In this room, he was still thinking wildly, when he suddenly felt a stream of pure essence entering his body, containing infinite vitality, repairing his meridians and healing his injuries. This made him stop all kinds of thoughts, relax and believe Jiang Chen was really helping him heal.
Jiang Chen used the power of destruction to absorb the demonic energy in Lu Miaozi's body, and then used the power of creation to repair the damage in his body. After a while, he made great progress, and after a while, he was almost healed.
After Jiang Chen finished his work and stood up, Lu Miaozi turned around with all his strength, and found that the demonic energy in his Dantian had disappeared, the meridians in his body were unobstructed, and all the hidden injuries disappeared. His whole body felt refreshed and overjoyed, and he quickly turned to Jiang. Chen Changji saluted: "Thank you sir for saving my life."
Jiang Chen said: "Master Lu doesn't need to be polite, and he's not afraid to tell you. I have a purpose in saving and treating Master Lu. It's not without purpose."
Lu Miaozi laughed and said: "Sage Confucius said that kindness must be repaid, let alone ordinary people! Besides, no matter what, you saved my life, but there is a destiny, and as long as I can do it, I will definitely obey it!" "
Jiang Chen said: "It's not a big deal. I just want to take a look at the evil emperor's relic from the Demon Sect. I hope Master Lu can help me to go to Yang Gong's treasury to retrieve this treasure."
Lu Miaozi couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "Why do you know that the evil emperor's relics are hidden in Yang Gong's treasury? You must know that I have never told anyone about this!"
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I know a lot of things. For example, the Evil Emperor's relics were entrusted to Master Lu from Yutian for safekeeping. Another example is that Duke Yang's treasury is in Chang'an, and the mechanism is controlled on the Prancing Horse Bridge. The entrance is in the well in the back garden of Dugu Valve, or maybe the treasure house of Mr. Yang is divided into two parts, the real one and the fake one, with so many traps that even the luminous pearl that illuminates the secret passage is infected with poison?"
Lu Miaozi smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, since you know everything, why did you come to me? Why do you still need to spend your true energy to save me, an old immortal with loess buried to the top of my head? Just go and take out the evil emperor's relics on your own."
Jiang Chen shook his head and said: "This matter is inappropriate. Firstly, opening Yang Gong's treasury will cause a lot of noise, which will definitely alarm many people. I believe that Master Lu must have a shortcut; secondly, I have to deal with Master Lu, the 'number one in the world' I respect the craftsman very much, and since I can save him, I must save him."
Lu Miaozi laughed and said: "It seems that my reputation as 'the most skilled craftsman in the world' is of some use! Anyway, I will accompany you to Chang'an and take out the evil emperor's relics."
Jiang Chen asked suspiciously: "Master Lu, aren't you worried that I will get the Evil Emperor's relic and cause trouble to the world?"
Lu Miaozi said: "Sir, martial arts is so powerful that if you want to bring trouble to the world, there is no need for the evil emperor's relic. Moreover, this thing itself is a disaster. If it can be kept by a master like Mr., it can suppress the disaster. For the people of the world, it will be a disaster." Maybe it’s a good thing.”
Jiang Chen said: "In this case, without further delay, you and I will set off immediately." At that moment, he took Lu Miaozi to ride in the wind and rushed towards Chang'an. By the evening of the third day, they arrived at Chang'an City Outside, he found a secluded and uninhabited place to land, and entered Chang'an City before the city gate closed.
As soon as it got dark, Jiang Chen was led by Lu Miaozi to the back garden of Dugu Clan. There was a path here that led directly to the depths of Yang Gong's treasure house.
He opened the treasure house from the main entrance, but the noise made was too great, so he followed Lu Miaozi's instructions and sneaked into the ancient well in the back garden of Dugu Valve. Sure enough, after descending the ancient well more than ten feet, he found a door on the wall of the well. Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to push open the door.
The well water surged and was about to pour back, but was blocked by Jiang Chen's true energy. The two Shi Shiran entered the door and closed the stone door. The well water was still blocked, and there was no movement at all.
Seeing this, Lu Miaozi couldn't help but praise: "Sir's martial arts is so high, it's really incredible."
"Miao likes it."
Jiang Chen said humbly: "It's just a little trick, it can't be considered clever."
Lu Miaozi waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I'm here to accompany you to search for the Evil Emperor's relics, not to listen to your self-effacement. Let's leave quickly." After that, he led the way and walked towards the depths of the treasure house.
Jiang Chen followed Lu Miaozi. There were a lot of treasures in Mr. Yang's treasury. He didn't want to damage the treasures in the treasury because he touched the mechanism.
The two walked in tandem, turning left and right, and walked for a long time. Finally, Lu Miaozi led Jiang Chen through a long corridor and came to a hall with a round stone table in the center and eight stone chairs. Round stone chamber.
Jiang Chen took a closer look and saw a map of the treasure house with detailed pictures and text on the table, which also showed the relationship between the treasure house and Chang'an City on the ground.
There are also four ordinary wooden doors in this perfectly round basement, which lead to the four treasure rooms respectively. There are also flints, firelights and paper coals under the table for lighting the eight lamps evenly distributed on the surrounding walls. Wall lights.
Lu Miaozi said: "This Evil Emperor's relic is under this table. Do you want to take it out now?"
Jiang Chen said: "That's natural. I can't wait any longer. The evil emperor's relics still contain the residual essence of the evil emperors of all generations. I want to seek the demon sect's strategy. This is the best way. Otherwise, I have to fight. If you rob the Demon Sect one by one, more people will die."
"Well."
Hearing this, Lu Miaozi couldn't help but be stunned: "If I had known this, I would rather have you hit the devil's door, so that you can take revenge for me."
Jiang Chen said: "If I fail this time, your goal will be achieved."
"Then I'd better wish you failure in advance."
Lu Miaozi smiled and said: "Did you know that this hall is surrounded by four stone chambers that are a hundred paces wide. Except for three chambers that hide weapons, one of them contains all treasures, mainly gold. Are you really not tempted? This is the wealth of the enemy country! Among the three stone chambers where weapons are hidden, there is even a magical weapon that can cut gold and jade! Are you not tempted?"
"These are all foreign objects."
Jiang Chen said: "What I want is to be strong myself, to break through the emptiness, to break through all the shackles and obstacles, how can I abandon the fundamental and pursue the inferior?"
Lu Miaozi said: "I finally know why you can practice such magical skills at such a young age. It doesn't matter, I won't test you anymore. Watch me open the mechanism and take out the evil emperor's relic. You need to find a way to suppress this evil thing." Breathe, otherwise Evil King Shi Zhixuan finds out and ruins your big event. I can't be blamed!" After saying that, he grabbed the edge of the table with both hands and pulled it up. The table rose two inches with his hands and made a soft sound. Then, he pinched it again He turned the tabletop to the left, and there was a sound of axles grinding under the round table, and it turned to the left.
As the round table rotated to the left, the floor beneath the table sank, revealing a narrow space inside, with a small copper jar with a lid leaking out.
"This jar contains the evil emperor's relics. I sealed it with mercury to prevent the evil energy from leaking and becoming known. You can take it out yourself!"
Lu Miaozi reminded: "Remember to be careful. This evil emperor's relic contains the true energy and miscellaneous energy that the evil emperors of all generations put in before they died. The evil thoughts and distracting thoughts before death are even more profound, even through this copper jar and Mercury can also feel the evil thoughts emanating from the Evil Emperor's relics."
"Don't worry! I'm sensible! Don't worry!"
With the treasure in front of him, Jiang Chen didn't hesitate and took the copper pot containing the evil emperor's relics in his hand. In an instant, he felt a horrific scene filled with blood appear in his mind, and it was as if he could hear thousands of wronged souls in his ears. Screaming for life, countless demons were wreaking havoc. Fortunately, Jiang Chen had already practiced the third level of heavenly skills. The cycle of life and death allowed him to refine all the demonic thoughts.
Endless creation and unprovoked destruction, the two intertwined, and the power generated was immeasurable. In an instant, the copper pot was consumed, the mercury turned into flying smoke, and only a tree exuding a dark demonic energy was left. The relic Huangjing Stone floated unsteadily, and thousands of wisps of demonic energy emerged from the relic Huangjing Stone, as if it had substance, and like thousands of devil's claws, dancing around as if alive, it actually penetrated the true essence in Jiang Chen's hand, and moved toward Jiang Chen. Chen's arms and head and neck were grabbed, looking extremely vicious and cruel.
These are the remnants left over from the evil emperors of the past. However, the demonic energy surged like black flames. In the end, dozens of twisted faces emerged, some with sinister smiles. , some were crying in pain, some were laughing madly, some were heartbroken, some were bloodthirsty, some were as gloomy as ghosts, and some were grinding their teeth, like ghosts in the dark world, trying to kill Jiang Chen.
"I've been waiting for you!"
When Jiang Chen saw this, instead of showing any fear on his face, he laughed loudly. With a flip of his hand, destruction and creation, two extreme forces, like the vastness of heaven and earth, enveloped the remnants of more than a dozen evil emperors. He wanted to Refining it, extracting the remaining memories, and using this to seek out the ten volumes of Heavenly Demon Strategy...
