Chapter 20: Cannibal Pavilion
There was a soft whine in the air, and then a burst of spiritual power wrapped around Wei Lin's wrist. Before he could react, his body flew up, and he and his sword fell to the ground.
Wei Lin was horrified. He had no resistance at all under the opponent's hand, just like he faced Mo Qishan before the Qi was introduced into his body.
With time to react, Yunli wrapped the Huanshi Ling in her hand as if it were alive, but the person who came had no scruples. The spiritual power accumulated in her wrist directly shook the long silk away. The next moment, Yunli was also lifted up and slipped to Wei Lin's side.
.
Wei Lin quickly scanned the surroundings. This was on a spiritual boat. Dozens of children crowded into the boat, all of them cowering in fear, with the exception of a seven or eight-year-old little girl.
Unlike the other children who huddled together in groups, she was sitting alone in the corner, her silk skirt was in tatters, her hair was loose, her fair little face had a few shocking bloody whip marks, but her eyes were stubborn and cold.
The man in black who caught them stood with his arms folded, "Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect it to be two little guys who had already introduced Qi into their bodies."
Yunli stared at him warily. He was wrapped in a black robe, with a big hood on his head, covering his forehead, and a copper-yellow metal mask on his face. His whole body was covered tightly.
The black robe is also unrecognizable. It is woven from the most common ramie linen in the Canglan Continent. The clothes are plain. Only the right shoulder is inlaid with a copper-yellow pattern, and a small "shadow" is engraved on it.
Wei Lin held the sword tightly, his fingers trembling slightly. I am afraid that this person is a foundation-building practitioner. The gap is too big, and they have no power to resist.
Ying Yi's eyes fell on Wei Lin, and he touched his chin, "Third level of Qi training? He seems to have good qualifications."
With a flip of his wrist, he took out a shiny stone and stuffed it into Wei Lin's hand. In an instant, the red and green lights reflected each other.
"Fire and Wood Spiritual Roots!" Ying Yi shouted out loud, and the surprise came unexpectedly.
This time when he went out to select disciples, he was seriously injured in a plot. By the time he recovered from his injuries, the once-in-a-decade selection process was about to come to an end, and most of the children with spiritual roots from all over the country had been selected.
In desperation, he had to grab some of the lone disciples, but there was only one little girl with three spiritual roots, and the others were all four and five spiritual roots. Unexpectedly, he was already ready to go back to work.
Suddenly, he heard a strange singing voice coming from below. His consciousness swept away and he saw two children, a boy and a girl. Without thinking, he reached out and grabbed them, but he got an unexpected surprise.
Wei Lin retracted his hand and looked at the man in black who gave Yunli the Spirit Testing Pearl, secretly guessing that he was also here to recruit a disciple?
Except for the two of them, the children on the spirit boat were all ordinary children, including the stubborn little girl who had already reached the first level of Qi training. They looked very much like they had been selected by the Taiyi Sect and followed Lin and Su to the Taiyi Sect.
situation?
Something is wrong. It is a good thing for an immortal to choose an apprentice. Those who can be chosen are all grateful and worship them. Why do these children look so panicked? Why do the men in black robes snatch people away!
Ying Yi was in a good mood. He didn't care when he found out that Yunli was only a five-spirited person. He just asked casually: "How long did it take to introduce the Qi into the body?"
Yunli quickly recalled Zhu Ge's words, quickly raised her eyes to look at him and then lowered her head, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "Three...three months."
Ying nodded slightly and said nothing more.
It seemed that there was no danger for the time being. Wei Lin opened his fingers, relaxed, and pulled Yunli to find an empty place to sit down.
Although Yunli was full of doubts, she also knew that things were not simple. However, the situation was stronger than the others and they could not defeat them. Apart from being obedient, there was no other way for the time being.
After flying for three days with an uneasy feeling, the spirit boat slowed down, then slowly descended, stopping in front of Yilian Waterfall.
The water column flying down hit the rocks below violently, and the water splashed everywhere. If you got closer, the water splashed on your body, causing pain.
The man in black robe threw a shiny jade token. The jade token flew into the air and immediately released a huge black transparent bubble, wrapping the spirit boat. As if being pulled, the spirit boat moved steadily towards the waterfall.
Fly away.
The large water splash fell straight down and hit the bubble, making a popping sound. Yunli reached out curiously and touched the bubble. What kind of bubble was this? It didn't burst?
Entering the waterfall, it was dark inside, with only the jade plaque on the top of the spirit boat emitting a faint light. With this light, Yunli discovered that there was dense black air floating around, and a dragon was pulled in along with the spirit boat.
As soon as the little bug came into contact with the black air, it was corroded instantly after a slight sizzling sound.
It's so corrosive, what on earth is this?
Yunli frowned tightly, seeing that the black air was about to hit the bubbles, she couldn't help but raise her heart, but unexpectedly, the thin bubbles only dented for a moment, and then the black air bounced away, but the bubbles were not damaged at all.
Suddenly, a small light spot appeared in front of us. As the spirit boat flew closer, the light spot became larger and brighter, and finally it became clear.
The spirit boat landed, and the huge ancient tree that only eight people could hold hands in a circle slowly closed its open mouth. The exit was actually in the tree?!
The frightened children along the way temporarily forgot their fear and were shocked by the incredible sight in front of them. The entrance was in the waterfall and the exit was in the tree. What kind of sect is this? It is so secretive.
Yunli turned around and looked up, and was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth again. This turned out to be a village, with a gurgling river nearby and dotted with dots of green plants. It was fresh and elegant; across the small wooden bridge, there were small wooden houses in twos and threes, or
Built on a high platform, or shaded by greenery, or standing on a waterside...
In the open space in front of the house on the left, a group of children helped an old man in black with white hair and beard to dry herbs. Seeing the good performance, the old man stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. It seemed that he had found a good seedling; on the high platform on the right, a
The middle-aged man was teaching the young girls how to practice martial arts, with a serious and serious expression. Occasionally, one or two naughty children would follow suit and make decent gestures. The man was not annoyed when he saw it, and the corners of his lips were raised slightly, coldly.
His hard complexion also softened a bit.
Yunli followed the leading man in black towards the largest open space in the middle. She couldn't help but wonder if they had arrived at a peaceful, peaceful and simple paradise.
When going up the steps, the door of the wooden house on the far left opened, and a woman in a light pink gauze walked out, dressed like the first lady in Huayue Tower to receive guests. Behind her was a middle-aged woman with her head lowered.
The man in black and the enchanting woman's eyes lit up and she gracefully walked over, waving a fan and said, "Hey, our shadow is back."
Yingyi stopped, turned around and saluted respectfully: "I have met Aunt Yingmei."
For some reason, the woman suddenly became angry, and the light in her eyes went out. She waved her fan and said impatiently: "Why have you been here for so long?"
Ying Yi clasped his fists respectfully again and said: "My subordinate is incompetent and had an accident. Fortunately, God has blessed me, Can Ye, and found a disciple with the dual spiritual roots of fire and wood."
As he spoke, he motioned Wei Lin to come forward, "You have already reached the third level of Qi training," and then pointed at Yunli and the little girl, "These two girls have also introduced Qi into their bodies. These are the three spiritual roots of metal, wood, and earth.
This is the Five Spiritual Roots."
When she heard that Yunli had five spiritual roots, the woman couldn't help but look at her one more time, and then snorted coldly: "You're lucky, go and hand in the mission."
Ying Yi bowed, his figure flashed and disappeared.
Ying Mei's face suddenly darkened, and she said angrily to the woman with her head lowered beside her: "Why are you still standing there in a daze?"
The woman who had always had no sense of presence still lowered her head. Her body trembled slightly when she heard this, and she responded: "Yes."
A little boy stood diagonally in front of Yunli, tilting his head and looking at the enchanting woman curiously, not understanding how her mood changed.
"What are you looking at!"
Ying Mei shouted fiercely, and the next moment, some warm liquid flew onto Yunli's face.
"Ouch——"
Heart-wrenching screams rang in her ears. Yunli twitched her eyelashes and subconsciously looked up. The little boy's face was twisted and ferocious, his face covered with snot and tears. He grabbed his right wrist with his left hand and the index finger of his right hand.
The root was broken, and Yunli's eyes were stained with shocking red.
Although this was not the first time she had seen this bloody scene, she was still a little uncomfortable. She tried her best to suppress her trembling fingers and lowered her eyes to avoid the bloody scene. However, she accidentally saw the amputated finger on the ground and Yunli's pupils.
I shrank, felt dizzy, and my stomach suddenly turned upside down.
A familiar cool touch came from her hand, pulling her out of dizziness. Her eyes moved up along the white and slender knuckles. At some point, Wei Lin's thin figure blocked in front of her, and the fear in her heart was soothed.
.
She is not alone.
Ying Mei looked at the group of frightened children in front of her with an expressionless expression. If you can't stand such a small battle, why should you be a killer? Go home and feed yourself. It seems that there are no good ideas here.
She shook her head and was about to turn around, but she was attracted by two people. The boy with delicate eyebrows moved two steps calmly, covering the little girl behind him tightly; the other girl, eight or nine years old, had a frosty face.
, his eyes were dull, like wooden piles.
"It's interesting." She chuckled, her voice was clear and soft, and in an instant the clouds cleared and the rain fell, the spring flowers bloomed, and the whole person seemed to be in the peach blossom sky in March.
The children subconsciously looked up at her, and when they met her eyes, their eyes instantly became confused and they just stared at her blankly.
The girl's indifference was broken, her empty eyes were filled with mist, and drops of clear liquid crossed her cheeks. Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were empty, and despair slowly turned into resentment, and overwhelming hatred burst out.
Wei Lin's eyes also became blurred. There was some emotion gathering in his heart. He wanted to find out, but his mind was blank and he couldn't start.
Yunli, who kept her head down, felt that the surrounding atmosphere was a bit strange, and her senior brother's hand became a bit stiff, so she subconsciously shook his hand hard.
The strength in his hand restored Wei Lin's clarity. He hooked Yunli's finger with his little finger and told her that he was fine. At the same time, he looked at Yingmei warily and moved his right foot forward half a step. Illusion!
Yunli secretly grabbed the Huanshi Ling on her wrist. Although she actually didn't understand what happened. She had lowered her head just now and heard the enchanting woman smile and say something interesting, but Wei Lin had already shown
She naturally had to follow the fighting stance.
With all these shadows in sight, she walked up to the girl who had regained her composure, looked into her eyes, and said word by word: "When you become stronger, you will be able to trample those who once despised you,
Those who hurt you will be trampled under your feet one by one!"
Wen Xueruo was stunned, almost murmuring in her sleep: "Powerful..."
Yes, if you were strong enough, how could your mother die miserably? If you were strong enough, how could your aunt and your aunt dare to use you as a medicine guide? If you were strong enough...
Her eyes gradually became firm, "Wen Xuelian, Xu Ruoya, one day, when I am strong, I will have to pay with your blood!"
Yingmei nodded with satisfaction. Only hatred, betrayal, and killing can be found in Canye Pavilion. Only those with hatred can survive here, and those ridiculous kindness, kindness, and protection will eventually be swallowed by darkness.
She turned her head and looked at Wei Lin with a half-smile, looking at his index finger pressing on the hilt of the Qingmu sword, and looking at him calmly covering the girl behind him. There was a trace of nostalgia in her eyes. She once had such a person.
The boy stood in front of her when danger came, but it was a pity...
Green-white fingers lifted Wei Lin's chin, his eyes were like water, his voice was soft, like a mother's gentle soothing, but the words he said made people shudder, "I really want to... destroy you."
