Rules of Heaven - C49
The young girl looked at Ding Hong, and only after he had entered the house did she bring the little boy and Xu Si to pick out two houses that were closer to Ding Hong. She and the little boy entered one room, while Xu Si entered the other. After the young girl entered the house, she asked the boy to find a place to sit and said, “Zhongjing, elder sister always felt that this place was a little strange. However, that young master just now must be an extraordinary person. If anything happens to him tonight, you should quickly go and find him.
The boy hesitated for a moment before saying, “Then, big sister, you.”
The girl shook her head and handed over the sack she carried with her to him. “This item is too important. You must safely escape the territory of the Zhou Country and arrive at Xunyang City. “Otherwise …” Her entire body shivered. “Otherwise, the other races would suffer a calamity!”
The boy was also shocked as he said, “That … that’s just a painting.”
He couldn’t help but sigh. Just as he wanted to say something, he realized that there was movement outside and was startled. He hurriedly covered the boy’s mouth and carried him to the side to hide.
“Benefactor, I don’t know how many houses there are here, but they were occupied by the few monks just now. I hope benefactor can help me find them myself.” The monk from earlier said.
“Ah, thank you master, thank you master.” It was the voice of a young man. He felt weak and soft, and it was easy to tell that he was an Elementary Scholar.
The sound of footsteps could be heard. The monk must have left just now.
“So there are still some other people. It would be safer this way.” He muttered to himself for a moment, then whispered, “Big Brother Yan, you said there was a ghost aura here, is it true?!”
A boorish voice sounded out, “Brat, I have killed many monsters along the way. Have you not seen it? How could this bit of Yin Qi escape my eyes? However, I am curious, why would there be Yin Qi in this buddhist land. ”
“Alright, alright, Yanbei belongs to Great Hero Yan. Let’s find a room to sleep in first.”
Following that, the young girl unexpectedly felt that she was walking towards her. She thought for a moment, then went to the door and opened it to tell them that there was someone inside so that it would not be awkward later on.
Who knew that just as she opened the door, the person outside was just pushing open the door. He pushed in the air and his body involuntarily pressed forward, knocking the young girl to the ground.
The two of them looked at each other. Suddenly, the girl let out a cry of “ah”.
Xu Si hurriedly came out of another room, and Yan Beihui also ran over. When he saw this scene, he was somewhat dumbfounded. The young girl looked at the person who was pressing down on her. Her face was handsome and full of scholarly aura. She could not help but blush like an apple.
That person felt that this was not proper, and seeing that someone had arrived, he hurriedly stood up and pulled the young girl back up, then stood there awkwardly without saying anything.
When Xu Si saw the scene just now, he immediately felt a sense of anger. He wished he could just go up and slap him to death. He roared at him, “You look so elegant, why did you do such a dirty thing?!” As he spoke, he raised his sleeve, preparing to punch out.
The man was scared out of his wits and quickly retreated. Unexpectedly, he stepped on the stairs and let out a strange cry before falling down. As he fell, he suddenly discovered that there was a luxuriously dressed person sitting on a tall tree, watching the show.
When Yan Bei saw him fall to the ground, he immediately pulled him up from the ground. He hurriedly stopped Xu Si and said, “Misunderstanding, this is pure misunderstanding.”
Xu Si opened his eyes wide and said: “What misunderstanding? Could it be that what I saw just now was a demonic technique used by ghosts?”
Yan Bei was originally a rough guy who had only learned a few Dao Arts. After hearing what he said, he immediately did not know what to say next. He hurriedly gave a meaningful glance to the scholar beside him.
That person understood and said hastily: “I am Bai Yi, this hero is Yan Beihui, we were just passing by to find a place to stay, I believe you all heard what I said to that master just now.” I just picked a room and was about to go in, but this girl suddenly opened the door. It’s a misunderstanding, it’s definitely a misunderstanding. ”
Yan Beihui also chimed in, “Right, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.”
Bai Yi suddenly rolled his eyes, pointed at Ding Hong who was sitting on a tree behind the house and said loudly: “That gongzi definitely saw the whole process, you can ask him!”
Upon hearing his words, everyone was stunned. They hurriedly looked behind them, only to see that there wasn’t even half a shadow remaining.
As it turned out, as soon as Ding Hong entered his room, he immediately left through the window. By the way, he came to that tree so that he could observe the situation and so on. Who knew that before he could even see the situation, he would see such a play, leaving him speechless. Then, seeing that Bai Yi was going to target him, he gently jumped away and arrived at another tall tree.
They didn’t see the shadow of anyone else and their spirits immediately dropped. Even Yan Beihui felt like beating Bai Yi up a little.
Bai Yi’s face changed drastically when he saw this. Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly spoke up: “Forget it, what happened just now was indeed because of me. It has nothing to do with this young master.”
Bai Yi heard this and felt excited in his heart, he hurriedly said: “Thank you young lady, I wonder what your name is?”
With a “pa” sound, Yan Beihui sent him flying with a slap and dragged him away, saying loudly: “Why are you asking for his name so late at night! Hurry up and go rest! ”
The girl looked at Bai Yi who left, her heart thumping wildly. The feeling just now was something she had never experienced before.
Seeing that her expression was strange, Xu Si asked: “Miss, are you alright?”
The girl shook her head, “Uncle Xu, you should go back and rest. Tomorrow morning we still need to hurry on our way.”
Xu Si responded and returned to his own house. The girl also returned to her house and closed the door.
The place suddenly became peaceful again, just that occasionally Bai Yi and Yan Bei would return it and discuss something. Ding Hong sat on the tall tree and waited until they had all quieted down before leaving the place.
Just a moment ago, when he had passed by the Longevity Pond, he had always felt that it was a little strange, but back then, he had not had the time to examine it closely, so he had waited until now.
“If this mask also has the effect of invisibility, then it would be much more convenient for me to move about on my own.” He thought to himself.
It was dark now, and the wind was blowing hard. It was probably going to rain again at night. The wind was howling, and many leaves were floating in the air. The branches of many large trees swayed violently, as if they were the hands and feet of fiendish demons, restlessly searching for life.
Ding Hong was standing in front of the Pond of Life. His hair was blown wildly by the wind. Although it was somewhat obstructing his vision, it was not a big deal. The only lotus leaves in the Pond of Life were blown about by the wind, while the two stone statues, Guan Yin, were still standing there calmly with a smile on their faces.
Ding Hong suddenly said to himself, “How can there be nothing in this Pond of Life?”
This free pond could be said to be the hallmark of many temples. Among them, there were many fishes and turtles that were placed by the believers to show their sincerity. But in this pool, other than the statue and a few lotus leaves, what other living things could be found?
Suddenly, a shadow slowly approached him from behind. The shadow passed by his body, gradually spreading out in his field of vision.
The shadow was black, of course. It was just that the darkness was terrifying. It was like a hole that sucked in everything that entered the hole.
Not afraid?
That was impossible. Although Ding Hong had experienced many things along the way from Jiu Sang, this strange scene only allowed him to maintain an extraordinary level of calm. If he wanted to practice it to the point where he could do whatever he wanted, where all the ghosts would throw themselves at him without changing their expressions, it would probably take a few days.
Now that he knew that ghosts existed in this world, it was much better than when he didn’t know what ghosts and gods were.
He didn’t think too much about it. He took out the jade flute on his waist and stabbed it. However, after he turned around, he discovered that there was nothing behind him. Where did this ghostly shadow come from?
Ding Hong’s eyes flashed. He clenched his left hand into a fist and used the essence fire from the Ever-Flame Sword to communicate with the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. A ball of flame instantly lit up in his hand.
He said coldly, “You ghosts, you dare to bully me!”
After sensing his surroundings with his mind consciousness, he suddenly discovered that there was a formation fluctuating fifteen meters to his left. He waved his hand and threw out the flame. The moment the flame left Ding Hong’s hand, it transformed into a phoenix. It let out a soft cry and suddenly accelerated, charging out in an instant.
“Ah …” A mournful scream rang out, and a distorted shadow that could be seen with the naked eye shook a few times before transforming into black smoke that shot into the sky.
Looking at the black smoke, Ding Hong could not help but frown. “He actually ran away!”
At this time, there was a commotion in the secondary hall, after which Yan Beihui ran while tidying up the clothes on his body, he held a sword and shouted loudly, “Hey, the Great Void Sect’s last disciple Yan Beige is here, Demons, hurry up and beg for mercy!”
When he was close enough, he hastily extended his right index finger and middle finger. The rest went towards his palm and rubbed it for a while, as if opening his spiritual eye. Even so, his left hand was still tidying his clothes.
His face was filled with surprise. “Eh? Why is this ghost only left with half a breath?”
Ding Hong took a glance at him and realized that the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emitting from his body were quite unique. It was something he had never seen before. After a moment of silence, he cupped his hands and said, “Friend Dao.”
At this moment, Yan Beigui finally finished tidying up his clothes and remembered his actions. He smiled awkwardly and said, “Of course, but look at you. You’re so young and you have such a high cultivation level. What sect do you come from?”
Hearing his question, the first thing that came to Ding Hong’s mind was the two words that the old woman had mentioned to him before, unspecialized character. He smiled and said, “I’m just an unspecialized character. I don’t have a sect.”
Yan Beihui replied with an “Oh”. He had also looked at Ding Hong and discovered that there was not a single strand of spiritual power in his body. However, he was able to use a Dao technique that was incredibly strange. No other sect had this kind of cultivation method. Although there were very few rumors about his sect, the elders of his sect said that their sect was as experienced as the Heavenly Palace and Penglai. Thus, they couldn’t help but to be a little proud of themselves in the outside world. Only now that he saw Ding Hong did he realize that a mere rogue cultivator had such a high level of cultivation, instantly bringing down his pride.
Thinking of this, Yan Beigui hurriedly bowed. This made Ding Hong feel strange.
Yan Beigui said, “That courtesy just now was in response to Fellow Daoist’s thanks. As for why I don’t know.” After thinking for a moment, he said, “In view of the situation just now, there must be something strange in this temple. I have to hurry and see them. So, I’ll take my leave.”
Ding Hong nodded and watched him leave. Not long after Yanbei’s departure, Ding Hong was preparing to take a stroll around to see what kind of place this was when he heard a faint “plop” sound.
He was stunned for a moment and looked towards the source of the sound. However, he could not find the source of the sound.
“Plop!” It was that sound again.
Ding Hong frowned. That sound was clearly some kind of liquid or other type of sound, which would only be produced if it dropped into the water. However, he was unable to find it no matter how hard he tried. After searching for a long time, he still couldn’t find anything, so he prepared to leave.
The moment he moved, the light reflected off of his body due to the change in angle, instantly pointing him in the right direction, just like a light in the dark night.
Ding Hong hastily turned around to look at the source of the light. The source of the light was actually on the face of the stone statue!
That line of sparkling teardrops!
“Guanyin’s tears!” Ding Hong cried out involuntarily.
The surrounding wind instantly grew stronger, and the trees crazily swayed. Falling leaves rose and fell, and soon, they all flew into the sky, blocking more than half of the view.
Ding Hong regained his senses, his eyes gleaming. There were only a few people in this world that did not know the mercy and mercy of Guan Yin. However, even Ding Hong did not dare to guess why she was crying.
“Hmm? There are spirit energy fluctuations? ” Ding Hong turned around and looked at the direction of the secondary hall. After pondering for a moment, he looked at the stone inscription once more and hastily ran towards the secondary hall.
“Tsk, a mere grievance and death, how dare you cause trouble in front of me, Yan Beihui!”
Before he even reached, he heard Yan Beihui’s loud shout. When he reached the wall he thought that it was better for him to be in ambush than to rush into the wall. As a result, his body became light and he arrived on top of a large tree, observing his surroundings from afar.
At this moment, Yan Beihui held a five feet long bronze sword with strange runes engraved on it. It was battling a monster that was surrounded by black gas. Every time he slashed out with his sword, a faint flame would flash in the air, demonstrating its power. However, when the sword struck down, the ghost only let out a strange cry before continuing its attack.
Seeing that this ghost was so troublesome to deal with, Yan Beihui coldly snorted and shouted, “Great Void, Spirit Sword!” He cut his left arm with his sword, releasing a foot long pillar of blood. He quickly waved the sword in his right hand and smeared the blood on it.
The wind was strong, and a lot of blood scattered in all directions like a kite with its string cut.
Once the blood stuck to the sword, it turned into a line that was dragged along. It quickly flowed along the runes on the sword. After a while, the entire bronze sword began to glow with a strange light, just like the sun at noon.
Yan Beihui let out a “Heh” sound, and shouted at the monster, “I’ll let you have a taste of the might of my Great Void Sect’s secret techniques!” With that, he jumped up and used all his strength to slash down at the ghost.
This ghost’s head didn’t seem to be bright. Although the light from the sword made it hurt, it still didn’t dodge. Instead, it rushed forward in an attempt to block it. Yan Beihui knew what he was thinking and immediately snorted coldly. The strength in his hand increased as he swung his sword!
“Huff!”
It was as if the sun had pierced through the sea of clouds and the fog had evaporated. The ghost was instantly chopped into two halves. After the two halves of his body fell from the sky, the left half of his body suddenly stopped and flew into the air. The other half actually burrowed into the ground.
Seeing that the monster was about to escape in two pieces, Yan Beihui stomped his feet in anger. He then looked at the half of the sword that had drilled into the ground, before fiercely stabbing the sword into the ground.
“Great Void, Earth Escape!”
With a “sou” sound, Yan Beigui and his sword sank into the ground. Looking at the direction of the ground, he seemed to be chasing after the ghosts that had drilled into it.
Ding Hong was now standing on a tall tree and had clearly seen the previous scene. Seeing the other ghost flying into the sky, he did not hesitate and activated the Yin Yang sword formation. He raised his right index finger and pointed at it.
“Ling!”
A phoenix’s cry sounded out. It was exceptionally clear in the rustling of the wind in the dark night. A life-sized phoenix flew out from the void, rapidly flying towards the ghost that Ding Hong had pointed to.
