Chapter 506 Undercurrents
After killing the water god of Jihua River and the land god of Gushan one after another, Li Changxiao and Wang Ruyi returned to the inn, stretched their bodies, and fell into a deep sleep.
On the second day, after preparing food and clothes and packing the long sword, the man with the sword set out on his journey again. He killed gods and monsters when he met them along the way. It was quite a leisurely journey.
I had forgotten that, in addition to the man and the sword, there was also a woman following behind him. The woman was wearing a fluttering dress and a conical hat on her head, with a veil hanging down to cover her face. She had a long sword on her waist, named Hongxiu. It was just an ordinary sword, but with it on her side, she really looked like a female hero.
Wang Ruyi, who called herself a female knight, followed Li Changxiao. She never drew her sword, but her name of "female knight" spread. She was also known as someone who punished evil and promoted good. When she encountered bandits on the road, she attacked them and killed all of them. Then, she wrote the word "Red Sleeves" on the ground with blood.
As time went by, her reputation spread far and wide. Of course, the Red Sleeves Heroine didn't know martial arts, and she wasn't a monk. She was good at governing the country and the people, and she could also order the arrest of criminals. Even when she was at the execution ground and saw the bloody scene of heads rolling down, she didn't frown. But if she really wanted to kill a chicken or a duck, she would feel that she had no idea where to start. So the Red Sleeves Heroine's reputation was mostly due to the White Clothes Man beside her.
For the sake of reputation, Wang Ruyi had begged someone a lot. After all the hard work of coming out, he could not return for the time being. The road ahead was shrouded in fog and he was confused. If he asked the man in white to point out a clear way, he himself could not tell. He always muttered "Just keep going, just keep going" to get by, and then often added "As you walk, the road will become clear." This made Wang Ruyi completely give up, knowing that this man in white with great magical powers was also a confused ghost. Sometimes when he was drunk, he could even take the wrong road. He also loved to be stubborn, saying that he had no purpose, so how could he take the wrong road?
Dayu was in chaos. Actually, Wang Ruyi's guess was correct. Li Changxiao couldn't tell the way forward either. If he were alone, he could come and go freely. However, Wang Ruyi was by his side, and the people of Dayu were by his side.
If he was asked to go to Dayu to duel with Ji Beiming, he really didn't want to do it because he couldn't beat him, and the water in Dayu was deep, and if he jumped in with his eyes closed, he would drown.
I can't move forward, and every step forward is blocked. I can't see clearly and don't understand.
Wang Ruyi was even more so, he simply took this opportunity to indulge himself in the martial arts world, become a hero admired by everyone, and fulfill his dream of traveling around the world.
Li Changxiao naturally agreed, so the name of the Red Sleeves Lady seemed to have two legs and ran very fast. And speaking of that journey, killing bandits, punishing evil and promoting good were just incidental.
Although he was confused, he was not idle. On the road to fame of the Red Sleeves Heroine, Li Changxiao paid attention to the incense gods, secretly killed several gods, and gradually discovered the presence of the Extreme Evil Sect.
Li Changxiao was very familiar with this force. Their presence could be seen almost everywhere in the Endless Forest and the Green Domain, and today was no exception.
Li Changxiao has the ability to perceive dreams. The evil intentions of the people of the Extreme Evil Sect are pure and conspicuous. Even if they are far away, they cannot escape his eyes. However, Li Changxiao gradually found that this method was no longer of much use.
The disciples of the Extremely Evil Sect who harbor pure malice are all the lowest level of existence. They are an ugly "weapon" that exudes a foul odor. The person holding the weapon must have a higher level of cultivation than Li Changxiao. It is difficult to conclude whether such a person also harbors pure malice.
Therefore, over-reliance on the power of dream perception can easily lead to a passive situation.
After discovering the Ji Evil Sect, he followed the clues and gradually found that some of the incense gods in Dayu were involved with it. Some were disciples of the Ji Evil Sect, or had unclear transactions with it. One of the incense gods involved along the route of the big rock sculpture was a disciple of the Ji Evil Sect. When Li Changxiao tracked him down, he used the dream extraction technique to get useful clues.
The mermaids once looked for the disciple of the Extremely Evil Sect, and seemed to have known that he was a member of the Extremely Evil Sect, and reached some kind of deal with him.
After finding out about this, Li Changxiao made a bold guess. Although the mermaids are strong, their control over the land is far inferior to that of humans. The news about the tomb of the Dream Dao God was most likely released by the Extreme Evil Sect.
If this is the guess, then the God of the West, the God of the Jihua River... and many other gods of mountains and rivers, are all from the Extreme Evil Sect? ... Li Changxiao suppressed this thought, not wanting to draw a conclusion so early.
But let’s talk about the other side.
The God of the West sailed down the river and went straight to Qingrao City. He visited the temple of the water god and successfully asked for the wine gourd.
After observing from beginning to end, he found that they were all ordinary objects, without the slightest trace of fairy charm. He frowned slightly. He had guessed in his heart when he came here that the gourd should be an ordinary object, but the eyes of the water god were covered with dust, unable to see through the illusion, and blinded by the illusion.
Now that he had it in his hand, he looked around and found that it was indeed an ordinary thing, nothing special. He pinched the bottle cap with two fingers, gently broke it open, and the gourd opened, and a scent of wine filled his nose.
The smell of the wine was very strange, a mixture of various common liquors. Lord Xishen closed the lid and began to think about the person who threw the gourd. He thought that he must be a wine lover, so he should always have something to drink around his waist.
Most of them drink ordinary wine, and 80% of them travel around the world all year round, shuttling through the streets of the market. They have some cultivation skills, but they are keen on walking in the secular world...
Just as he was thinking, Xi Shenjun suddenly paused and looked towards a certain place in the city, with a surprised look, someone was looking for him. He entered the city and turned into an abandoned temple.
Although the temple is abandoned, there are four intact statues of gods, namely the gods of east, west, south, north and west. The temple of these four gods should be prosperous and filled with incense, but it ended up being abandoned.
This was intentionally done by the Four Gods as a place for communication. It is usually set up in large and prosperous cities. However, it is rarely used in ten or twenty years.
After entering the ruined temple, I saw a man in black robes. He had been standing in the temple, waiting for a long time. Seeing the arrival of the God of the West, the man in black robes took off his hood, revealing a woman's face. She was extremely beautiful, with crystal-clear and smooth skin, subcutaneous scales faintly visible, and natural blue eyes. With such obvious features, it goes without saying who the person is. It is the powerful mermaid, Ji Xue.
It was a coincidence that the two met here. Ji Beiming sent Ji Xue to stop Li Changxiao from killing him. After Ji Xue left Dayu City, he rushed to Qingrao City.
He planned to call Ji Lu, Ji Huo and Ji Nan to join him, but when he arrived at Qingrao City, he felt something was wrong and had a vague feeling that something might have happened. He wanted to go to a nearby temple to ask something.
She knew that there was an abandoned temple in Qingrao City, where four gods were worshipped at the same time, and the four gods often "cast their eyes" here. Ji Xue wanted to call the East God, because Qingrao City was under the jurisdiction of the East God, and the East God was closest to the temple, so she could meet him after waiting for four to five days. However, as soon as she entered the temple, before she had waited for a quarter of an hour, the West God came first.
After a brief moment of surprise, the two quickly figured out the reason during the conversation. Ji Xue's pupils trembled: "It's him!"
The two talked again.
Gradually, the blurred image was gradually improved. Li Changxiao's figure appeared clearly in the vision of both parties. Ji Xue also learned from the Western God that the stripped empress should have reached the Western God's territory according to the time calculation. From this, it can be inferred that the man in white is probably nearby.
The two of them thought carefully. Whether it was the Yu Jiao people or the Yu Xi Shen Jun, this person must not be kept alive, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
The only way was to attack with all their strength at the same time and strangle him with the force of thunder. Ji Xue nodded in agreement. With Ji Beiming's order, she would kill the man in white without hesitation.
Until the dead.
In front of the family's righteousness, personal losses are nothing. And Xi Shenjun has similar ideas. When necessary, he will not hold back.
As a result, a fierce murderous force was slowly brewing and fermenting against the two people who were still wandering among the mountains and rivers.
……
Li Changxiao had no idea about this. He had just cleared out a bandit hideout in the mountains and carved the words "Hongxiu" on the mountain wall. Then Wang Ruyi was in high spirits. He stepped on someone's corpse and made a gesture of putting away his sword.
Her long hair fluttering in the wind, one hand lightly pressing on her hat and the other hand drawing her sword, really showed the demeanor of a female hero. Her face flushed, as if all the bandits on the ground were killed by her alone. She flicked her sleeves and left in a chic manner.
But halfway through, she encountered a bandit who was not yet dead. He suddenly attacked her with a knife, which frightened her half to death. Li Changxiao kicked out a flying stone with his toes and killed the bandit. He couldn't help laughing out loud, mocking the woman's embarrassment. The latter was angry, but helpless.
Li Changxiao looked up. The sky was dark and gloomy. Dark clouds gathered and covered the moon.
This kind of weather seems to have lasted for several days.
(I can’t bear it anymore, so I’ll update once today. I only wrote the last few chapters before going to bed, so I’m a bit rushed, ヾ(??ヮ??)?”)
