Chapter 74: Return

"Qingyun" was still sharp, far better than Xiao Yin's teeth.

With one sword, Qingji's snake tail was cut off, and Xiao Yin took the opportunity to escape.

Qingji felt the pain and spit out rolling flames at Qi Xuansu again.

Qi Xuansu had learned his lesson and did not dare to take it head-on, so he dodged.

But the flames seemed to have spirituality, circled in the air, and flew towards Qi Xuansu again.

In a trance, Qi Xuansu seemed to see these flames turned into human faces, full of hideousness, and even murmured whispers.

Fortunately, Qi Xuansu had the "Heart of the Longevity Stone" to protect his soul, and even the divine descent of the Purple Light True Lord could not be affected. The evil fire could not do anything to him. These whispers only made Qi Xuansu feel a little noisy, far from disturbing his mind.

Qi Xuansu waved the "Qingyun" in his hand and dispersed these flames one by one with the sword energy of the "Qingyun" itself.

Soon, Qi Xuansu discovered one thing. Qingji had some snake instincts and the ability to spit strange flames, but she was no different from an ordinary country woman. She had poor adaptability and did not know how to fight with others.

So Qi Xuansu turned to cooperate with Xiao Yin, and Xiao Yin distracted Qingji's attention. He took the opportunity to go around Qingji's back and stabbed her in the back with a sword.

Qingji cried out, and countless flames gushed out from the wound and spread towards Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu never expected this to happen. He was caught off guard and had to draw his sword and retreat. Even though Qi Xuansu had the magical power of the "magic knife" and his body moved one step ahead of his mind, this kind of flame was too strange to be discussed by common sense, so Qi Xuansu was still stained with some flames. These flames seemed to have no substance and penetrated directly into his body through Qi Xuansu's "Youyi Cloud Clothes".

The result was the same as last time. These flames went straight to Qi Xuansu's heart, but still could not break through the "Heart of the Immortal Stone". Then they turned into Qi Xuansu's body qi, like a mud cow entering the sea, and no trace of them was left.

Strictly speaking, Qi Xuansu did not have 365 body gods in the true sense. His heart was located in the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", and there was no acupoint to condense the body god. Later, Qi Xuansu found that the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" could also transform into a corresponding body god according to the "Xuanyu", and when the number of Zhoutian was reached, he did not bother about it.

However, these body gods transformed from the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" were far from comparable to other body gods. Their essence was still the "Heart of the Immortal Stone". So far, Qi Xuansu had not seen any means that could hurt the "Heart of the Immortal Stone".

Qi Xuansu heard from Qi Niang that the chief priest of the Shamanism used the lives of hundreds of thousands of people to refine the "Eternal Life Stone" to counter the first heavenly tribulation of the immortals. As a result, the "Eternal Life Stone" only exhausted its divine power, and it itself was not damaged, which shows how hard it is.

For Qi Xuansu, these flames only look scary, and in fact, it can only be said that it is a close call. However, if it were someone else, with the same realm of cultivation, it would be a life-and-death struggle. Monk An Zhen, as the junior brother of Qingfangzhu and a disciple of Fenglinzhou Buddhism, had already become a celestial being and had the treasure of the big bell to protect his body, but he was still burned to death by Qingji through the big bell. Qingfangzhu was afraid of the evil fire that Qingji spit out, and he couldn't even rashly help. It can be seen how powerful Qingji is.

If you are infected with these evil fires, you will either use obsession and resentment as an opportunity to gradually become a monster and not recognize your relatives. Or your internal organs will be burned, and your own flesh and blood will turn into firewood for this flame.

It's a pity that Qingji encountered the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" that could resist the heavenly tribulation this time, so these strange flames had no place to use. In terms of melee combat, as Qi Xuansu said, Qingji was just a country woman, with strength that was better than that of a warrior, but only instinct, no skills, it was really not worth mentioning.

Because of this, Qingji could easily burn Anzhen to death, leaving Qingfangzhu helpless, but without the magical power of evil fire, she could not do anything to Qi Xuansu at this time, which was probably one thing overcoming another.

Qi Xuansu thought to himself: If these flames were like the six tribulations of the "Six Void Tribulations", they should have erupted at this time, but they had not erupted for a long time, could it be that they were resolved by the "Heart of the Immortal Stone".

Qi Xuansu simply went all out, and stabbed Qingji's back with another sword, and also stirred it.

Qingji screamed miserably again. The wound was no longer emitting fire, but she was struggling violently. Her broken tail kept hitting the ground, shaking the ground and stirring up countless dust.

After a while, Qingji's struggle became weaker and weaker. She lay limply on the ground, motionless.

Xiaoyin came over, and Qi Xuansu hurriedly stopped her: "Don't eat it carelessly. This thing is weird."

"I know." Xiaoyin said. She was not stupid. Seeing the monster's wound sizzling with fire, how could she dare to eat it rashly? What if she burned herself to death?

Qi Xuansu looked inside himself again and found no trace of those strange flames. Only then did he feel relieved.

Xiaoyin took this opportunity to dig at Qingji's chest.

Qi Xuansu used "Qingyun" to poke a hole the size of a bowl here, running through the front and back, but the inside was not a bloody scene, full of ashes and burnt flesh and blood, and there were no internal organs at all.

This disappointed Xiao Yin greatly. She had originally thought that if she could take out a demon heart, even if it was not edible, she could take it back to the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven and process it and then eat it.

"What is this?" However, Xiao Yin did not gain nothing. She took out a human skull from the hole. It was burnt black, and there were still strands of residual fire that had not been extinguished. It did not look like it was edible.

Qi Xuansu came back to his senses and said bluntly: "Show it to me."

Xiao Yin reluctantly handed the skull to Qi Xuansu.

Before leaving, Mr. Yin specifically told Xiao Yin to listen to Qi Xuansu, otherwise he would send her back to the ghost country cave heaven, so Xiao Yin did not dare to be arrogant with Qi Xuansu for the time being. Ghosts had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Qi Xuansu held the skull in his hand and could still feel some residual warmth. Then he found that there were two words on the top of the skull, which seemed to be carved with fingernails.

Qi Xuansu wiped off the ashes attached to the skull. Fortunately, Fenglinzhou also used the Central Plains characters. These two words were not difficult to recognize. They were the words "An Zhen".

Xiao Yin stood on tiptoe and put his head closer: "It seems to be a person's name."

Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "It should be. Maybe the owner of this skull was called An Zhen before his death, and maybe he was the lover of the snake demon."

Xiao Yin looked at Qi Xuansu eagerly.

Qi Xuansu said seriously: "This skull is strange, and it seems to contain strange flames. It's better to give it to me for safekeeping."

Xiao Yin immediately protested loudly: "This is mine! Mine!"

Qi Xuansu ignored Xiao Yin's protest: "This kind of flame is very strange, it burns people's hearts and confuses people's minds. You don't have the 'Heart of the Immortal Stone', so you can't control it."

Xiao Yin pouted so high that she could almost hang a bottle of oil on it.

Qi Xuansu put the skull into the Xumi object: "It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, so leave as soon as possible."

Xiao Yin followed Qi Xuansu unhappily.

After leaving Anong County, the two came to the territory of Yishi County.

This is the place where the Rangdao Sect is most rampant. Since the Taoist sect occupied Duoqi County, this place has also become the front line to resist the Taoist sect's attack. ..

Be careful when you get here. Not to mention those Taoist wanderers who want to "punish from heaven" at any time, you also have to face the crane boats and artillery bombardment of the Taoist sect. It's really a continuous artillery fire. Even if Qi Xuansu is a celestial being, it would be uncomfortable to be hit by a cannon.

After all, he doesn't have means like "Qingyun". Now is the age of fire, and firearms are popular. Qingyun, the exiled immortal, is the nemesis of firearms, because such means are extremely idealistic and are one of the few magical powers left by people who cultivate their minds. It is difficult for dead objects like firearms to break through Qingyun. Qingji's strange flame is the nemesis of Qingyun. Or it can be said that the flame used by Qingji is similar to Qingyun, and both can ignore the real object.

However, because the mission has been completed, Qi Xuansu no longer needs to conceal his identity and whereabouts. He is not afraid of being detected by the Divine Palace. He runs freely, and his speed is several times faster than when he went there. He soon crossed most of Yizhi County and came to the border between the two counties.

The battle here was not as fierce as Qi Xuansu had imagined. After all, the Dao Sect did not initiate the attack, but mainly used artillery and crane boats to harass. The Rangdao Ronin and Ise Jingu naturally did not dare to initiate the attack, so this place fell into a different kind of calm.

Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin were like two stowaways, crossing the border with the rumbling artillery fire above their heads.

Soon, a patrolling spiritual officer found the two men, pointed his musket at Qi Xuansu, and shouted, "Who are you?"

Qi Xuansu had already removed his disguise, raised the "Zhongji Sutra" and the sutra and responded, "I am Qi Xuansu."

Several spiritual officers did not immediately lift their guard, still pointing at Qi Xuansu with their long guns. Only one spiritual officer came forward and took the sutra and the sutra. There was a golden seal on it, which was not made of ink, but a fake "Qiongqi Blood". Moreover, the seal itself had a mysterious secret, and the seal would change according to a certain pattern, and it could not be forged in any way.

After the spiritual officer confirmed that the sutra and the sutra were consistent with himself, he immediately saluted Qi Xuansu and said, "The spiritual officer of Tianquansi of Tiangang Hall is ordered to patrol, and I meet Deputy Hall Master Qi."

The other spiritual officers also pointed the muzzles of their long guns to the sky and saluted Qi Xuansu.

The spiritual officer looked at Xiao Yin again, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Qi Xuansu signaled that they didn't need to be polite, and took the initiative to explain: "She is a creature of Huasheng Hall, not a Taoist priest."

The spiritual officer suddenly realized.

For people of the Taoist sect, it is not difficult to understand that creatures have intelligence and human appearance. Things that Taoist priests are unwilling to do, let the spiritual officer do it. Things that the spiritual officer is unwilling to do, let the creature do it.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Has the Taoist sect occupied Duoqi County?"

The spiritual officer straightened his chest and replied: "Reporting to Deputy Hall Master Qi, my Taoist army officially occupied the entire Duoqi County on February 15th."

Qi Xuansu nodded and asked again: "I want to return to the camp, is there a flying boat?"

The spiritual officer said: "Reporting to Deputy Hall Master Qi, the nearest flying boat is located in Xiaojing Lake outside Yoshida City. Deputy Hall Master, do you need a guide?"

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said: "I can go there by myself, you continue to patrol."

"Yes." The spiritual officer responded loudly.
