Chapter 69: Change at the Elbow and Armpit

Change at the Elbow and Armpit

"Junior Brother Zhang!"

With a sad cry, everyone's face looked ugly. Chi Pengpeng frowned and said, "Junior Brother Zhang is too strong. His anti-miasma talisman is not enough. He should have told us earlier. In the big battle, who can send him a talisman?"

"Alas, it's also to blame for his poor learning. The anti-miasma talisman is not enough, what does it matter? As long as you can hold the anti-miasma spell in time, nothing big will happen. I'm afraid he forgot both things in the fight."

This Junior Brother Zhang is a disciple of the Golden Wave Sect, but his relationship with Li Pingyan is not very close, and he is taken care of by his own senior brother. His senior brother, Hu, collected Junior Brother Zhang's remains, and the body was dissolved by spiritual light. There was still grief in his tone, and he said sadly, "We have practiced in the sect since childhood. Even if our cultivation is higher, we have never practiced outside. How do we know that this small negligence will also lead to death?"

"Everyone, check the anti-miasma talisman. After walking for another seven days, we can probably reach the Yiyun Ferry. There will be a market selling talismans there. We each leave enough for seven days. If there is any surplus, we can communicate with each other."

One person was lost in the team, and casualties have exceeded half so far. Everyone looked solemn. Li Pingyan took the opportunity to arrange. Chi Pengpeng's faction of cultivators no longer had factional views at this time, and they all took out talismans to check one by one, confirming that the anti-miasma talisman was intact. This is also the lesson brought by the wrongly dead Senior Brother Wu. Chi Pengpeng said, "I still have thirty extra anti-miasma talismans. If anyone doesn't have enough, come to me and ask for them."

This anti-miasma spell, as long as you learn it, you can hold it at all times. For cultivators who have cultivated the Imperishable Golden Body, even if the anti-miasma spell fails sometimes, it doesn't matter. Just divide a part of your mind to hold it again. However, this requires a certain requirement for the cultivator's spiritual sense. After all, it is not good to be distracted in the battle, so cultivators still prefer to use anti-miasma talismans. Even if they learn the anti-miasma spell, many of them buy many talismans. But talismans sometimes lose their time limit because the cultivator's operation is not careful enough. Junior Brother Zhang is like this. Probably because he was very careless in using talismans, the anti-miasma talisman was used up early. In a battle of hunting the two-headed demonic snake, the anti-miasma spell also lost its effect. He didn't notice, fell to the ground, was affected by the green jade miasma, and unknowingly, too much miasma was inhaled, turned into mosquitoes in the body, and gnawed out. Everyone wanted to find a way to save him, but where is there any way? After killing the demonic snake and coming over, it was already too late to save him. They could only wait for the green jade miasma to disperse before coming over to collect his remains.

Although cultivators are used to life and death, dying under a small negligence is still very regrettable. Junior Sister Lian frowned and said, "We are proud of our talents for a while, and we have practiced a lot in the sect. I didn't expect that we would lose so many people in this mountain just after walking out of the house."

"This place cannot be compared with the Green Jade Bright Hall. It is already a real dangerous place. Junior Sister Lian, you only see that we have died so many people. You don't know that those Ping Sect and En Sect disciples dare not step into the Foundation Establishment stage at all." Li Pingyan shook his head and urged everyone to set off. "It's better to hurry to Yiyun North View. The deeper you go, the more snakes and insects there are. Even the Foundation Establishment late-stage two-headed demonic snake has come. Everyone restrain your breath and keep away from each other. If you encounter a Golden Core stage demonic beast, our breath is mixed together, which is easy to alert the other party."

Although this Huang Shoushan is a place for Foundation Establishment cultivators to come and go, no one can guarantee that there will be no Golden Core stage demonic beasts. When everyone surrounded and killed the Mandarin Duck Golden Ring Snake, they were still full of ambition, feeling that Huang Shoushan was nothing more than that, not much more dangerous than the Green Jade Bright Hall. But after walking in this mountain for nearly a month, they all knew its power. Senior Brother Hu said, "I only brought one hundred anti-miasma talismans, and there are still twenty left. Everyone, please exchange with Senior Sister Chi first, and I will pack the rest. Just use the gains from killing the snake this time as compensation."

The Pinghai Sect disciples had no objection, but a Junior Brother Pan of the Golden Wave Sect said, "Senior Brother, your abacus is too loud, right? Can this anti-miasma talisman still be this price at this time?"

He said to Chi Pengpeng, "I use spiritual jade to exchange, Senior Sister Chi, one hundred spiritual jades for one talisman, I exchange for ten."

This is one thousand spiritual jades. This anti-miasma talisman is usually one spiritual jade for one. The price has risen by a hundred times. Junior Brother Pan said that Senior Brother Hu's abacus is precise, which is not nonsense. Chi Pengpeng said, "I don't need so many spiritual jades, just give me thirty."

Junior Brother Pan raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I want them all."

Li Pingyan shouted, "Pan Tanruo, are you crazy?"

He even called his name and surname, which shows that he was very angry. Pan Tanruo was not afraid, raised his head and smiled, "Senior Brother Li, I know you think I'm making trouble, but I'll tell you the truth. There are still seven days to Yiyun Ferry. That's because we didn't get lost, didn't delay time to kill demonic beasts, and walked for seven days without sleep. As long as there is a slight delay, it is not strange that seven days become more than ten days. Now we have only ten people. You, Senior Sister Meng, Junior Sister Ci, and Senior Sister Chi can all be distracted to hold the spell. I, Senior Brother Hu, Junior Sister Lian, Junior Brother Xuan, Junior Brother Yue, and Junior Sister Shi, once we fight and fly, we cannot be distracted to hold the spell. If we don't want to end up like Junior Brother Zhang, then the more talismans we have in our hands, the better."

"The deeper you go into Huang Shoushan, the thicker the green jade miasma. Even if calculated according to the ten-day journey, one anti-miasma talisman for four hours, it will take thirty. This also counts for many twists and turns. Everyone has sixty talismans on their body to be stable. I only have forty talismans on my body. I only exchange for ten more, also because the spiritual jade I carry is limited. My life is worth this price, and I am willing to exchange my life for spiritual jade. But if Senior Sister Chi only wants three spiritual jades for one talisman, why don't I exchange more? Senior Brother Hu feels that his life is cheap, so he can't get the talisman. How can a person with a cheap life compete with a person with a valuable life?"

He spoke with reason, although it was a crooked reason, it was also righteous, and it made the five low-generation cultivators who could not be distracted to hold the talisman change their faces. Chi Pengpeng frowned and looked at him a few times, saying, "But I only give you ten talismans, and I only collect thirty spiritual jades. No need to say more."

She threw a stack of talismans to Pan Tanruo. Pan Tanruo's face was very ugly, but he endured it without arguing. Senior Brother Hu offered thirty spiritual jades and exchanged for ten. The remaining ten talismans were exchanged by Meng Zhixuan. Junior Sister Lian, Junior Brother Yue, and Junior Sister Shi did not have a turn. Meng Lingyue took out thirty talismans, Li Pingyan pressed her down, took out twenty from his body, Meng Lingyue took out ten, and distributed them to the remaining three.

In this way, Ruan Ci does not need to pay anymore. Everyone is about to set off. Pan Tanruo says, "Wait, everyone, I have one more word—have you ever thought that there was no shortage of predecessors walking in Huang Shoushan before, have you ever heard of such shocking casualties? We set off with seventeen people, and in less than a month, seven people died! This is almost all the talents of the flourishing sect! Even Senior Brother Wu who died at the beginning is considered outstanding among the En Sect disciples. It is said that their En Sect disciples have long gone out to do errands and walked the old rivers and lakes, how could they be so careless and buy broken talismans? And Junior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Hu, you know him, although he is not careful, he is definitely not a rough and careless person, how could he forget to hold the talisman and spell, and be gnawed to death by the green jade miasma? Everyone wanted to find a way to save him, but where is there any way? After killing the demonic snake and coming over, it was already too late to save him. They could only wait for the green jade miasma to disperse before coming over to collect his remains."

These seven people died, some were not careful enough like Senior Brother Wu, some were hunted and killed by monsters when they were alone like Junior Brother Xiao, and some like Jin Fengchun died in the siege. The methods of death were different. Everyone didn't feel suspicious, but after being said by him, they also felt something was wrong. Pan Tanruo pointed to Ruan Ci and said, "I have been watching coldly for a long time, and I only feel that it has something to do with this Junior Sister Ci. Her origin is unknown. She says she is a flourishing sect disciple, but which sect does she come from? I'm afraid that accidents have occurred repeatedly in this trip, and it is also related to her! Regardless of whether someone is dealing with her in secret, I think the only remaining way now is for us to walk separately! Otherwise, I'm afraid accidents will happen again, but this time it may not be on any of us."

This is not the first time everyone has quarreled because of dead people, but it is the first time someone has pointed the finger at Ruan Ci so clearly. Everyone looked over for a while. Ruan Ci thought for a while and said, "It makes sense. It's best for us all to walk separately and meet at Yiyun Ferry."

She was so easy to talk to, which made her suspicion reduced. Junior Sister Lian said, "Senior Brother Pan, what are you talking about? We walk together and don't leave each other, just to deal with the demonic beasts blocking the road. If we really walk separately, Junior Sister Ci and Senior Sister Chi can reach Yiyun Ferry, but what about us?"

She said, "If you want to walk separately, you walk separately. I want to be with everyone."

Pan Tanruo sneered, "If I walk separately alone, I'm afraid I will die in this mountain. You follow me for a few hours, but it's just a waste of an anti-miasma talisman, but you can get dozens of them. What is more cost-effective than this?"

Senior Brother Hu couldn't help but say, "You have had this idea in your heart, otherwise how could you think of us like this?"

The atmosphere reached this point and was greatly ruined. Li Pingyan shouted, "No one should say anything anymore. Whoever says another word, I will kill whoever. Now turn around and set off!"

Everyone stopped talking, each sacrificed their movement technique, and flew in the forest one after another, keeping a distance of hundreds of feet from each other, thus isolating their breath, but still within each other's sensing. If there is a danger, they can support in time. In the current tense atmosphere, it can also make everyone feel at ease, otherwise it is really hard to say whether they will fight if they don't agree.

In Huang Shoushan, it is still giant trees connected, blocking the sky and the sun. No matter how good the scenery is, I have been tired of it for a month. What's more, walking to this place, the green jade miasma is already threads, as if it is substantial, emitting a layer of green light on the ground, and it is like this day and night. Once you step on the ground, the gnawing of the talisman power is very fast. If it is not necessary, everyone is unwilling to go down to the ground. Around sunrise every day, they have to go to higher branches to hide, and even start looking for a hiding place one or two hours in advance. After all, sunrise is also the time for demonic birds to hunt. If you meet demonic birds in the forest, there will be another big battle, which is very unfavorable for cultivators.

Because of this, although the relationship between everyone has been tense to this point, they still gathered together before sunrise, not daring to move at will, lest they be treated as small insects by demonic birds and pecked at will. Meng Lingyue set up an array, and everyone sat cross-legged to rest. Only Pan Tanruo took out the anti-miasma talisman from time to time to check, muttering words, not knowing what he was saying, and looking at others from time to time, his expression was cold and brought a trace of inexplicable fanaticism, which made people feel a bit wary.

Junior Sister Lian sat beside him, and after being looked at many times, she said angrily, "What are you looking at! What high opinion do you have again?"

Pan Tanruo chuckled and said, "Why not? I was just thinking, from our departure to now, we have walked for twenty-one days, and exactly seven people have died. Although the time is different, some in the morning, some in the evening, but it is always within these three days that one person dies. One died today, you say, who will die three days later?"

Junior Sister Lian wanted to refute his fallacy loudly, but after counting, Pan Tanruo's words were exactly the same. Although some of these seven people died in the middle of the night and some in the daytime, there is no mistake that one person dies every three days.

She was terrified in her heart, and for a while she didn't dare to sit with Pan Tanruo. She wanted to move away, but Pan Tanruo grabbed her sleeve, leaned over, and looked at Junior Sister Lian. Junior Sister Lian saw that in his pupils, there was a small insect swaying in each, probing out and crawling toward her eyes, so scared that she screamed, her protective spiritual energy vibrated, and she threw Pan Tanruo away.

"Junior Sister Lian?"

Everyone turned their heads to look. Meng Lingyue frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Junior Sister Lian woke up like a dream, turned her head to look at Pan Tanruo, he was still muttering, looking down and not knowing what he was counting. The scene just now seemed to be just her illusion. Her lips moved, and she said, "I... I... I had a nightmare! I dreamed that there were insects in Senior Brother Pan's eyes trying to crawl into my eyes!"

Her figure moved, and she flew behind Meng Lingyue, but as soon as she flew into mid-air, she was locked by several Qi machines, so she had to land on the branches and shout, "Senior Brother Pan also told me that since we set off, one person has died every three days, and seven have died so far. One died today, so no one will die in these few days—I'm afraid we have been targeted by Demon Sect disciples and become their blood sacrifice!"

Pan Tanruo raised his head and looked at her inexplicably, saying, "What are you talking about, Junior Sister Lian? It's true that seven of us have died, but two died on the first day, one died on the fourth day, and two died on the tenth day... How can one die every three days? If it were really like this, wouldn't everyone have noticed something wrong long ago?"

Junior Sister Lian then remembered that the facts were indeed the case, and she didn't know how she believed it so deeply in her dream. She was wronged in her heart and wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know what to say. She was afraid and anxious. Her heart moved, she took out a jade jue from the Qiankun bag, squeezed it in her hand and shouted, "There must be a ghost among you! I won't play with you anymore! I want to return to the sect!"

Saying that, she injected magic power, wanting to stimulate the jade jue. Meng Lingyue and Li Pingyan's faces changed greatly. Meng Lingyue shouted, "Junior Sister, be careful!"

Junior Sister Lian injected magic power into the jade jue, but felt empty, and the restriction had no response. She couldn't help but be stunned, opened her hand and looked, only to see black Qi washing in the jade jue, but it seemed to be the reaction of alien spiritual energy being injected. Her heart jumped, she sank her mind into the inner landscape, and after a while, she returned to her senses, showed a miserable smile to Meng Lingyue, opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but it was too late. Her eyes were gradually infected by black Qi. In just a moment, her pretty face turned ferocious, black Qi appeared on her face, and the Jade Pool above her head also appeared. This is that her mind is completely confused and she can no longer hold the Purification Spell.

In the Jade Pool, the spiritual liquid rolled like boiling, and the seven layers of Dao foundation above her head, five virtual and two real, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth introduced, after being polluted by black Qi, burned down along the seventh layer. The spiritual energy around her body shrank and swelled, as if brewing some amazing changes, but she heard the crisp bracelet sound disturbing, and the original regular contraction frequency changed. Junior Sister Lian turned her head and looked at Chi Pengpeng, struggling to say, "Profound—Heaven—Disciple—"

Chi Pengpeng's face was as heavy as water, her hands hit, and the bracelet sound locked the Qi machine of heaven and earth, and it seemed to have the ability to frighten the soul. Junior Sister Lian's eyes looked at her golden bracelet and couldn't turn away. The black Qi dissipated in threads. Meng Lingyue shouted, "Hold the Purification Heart Spell! This is the Demon Sect's means! Pinghai disciples, follow me to recite the Dao Scripture!"

Li Pingyan also said, "Whoever cannot recite the Dao Scripture has been possessed by the Heavenly Demon!"

Pan, Hu, Yue, and Shi four people sat cross-legged in a hurry, and under the leadership of Li Pingyan and Meng Lingyue, recited the sect's Dao Scripture loudly. Meng Zhixuan pointed to Ruan Ci and said, "Why don't you recite? You are a Demon Sect disciple!"

Ruan Ci hugged her chest and swept him, saying indifferently, "Didn't you recite either?"

Her figure flickered, and she had already stuck behind Meng Zhixuan. Meng Zhixuan's lips showed a strange smile, and his figure shattered like foam. The next moment he appeared at the edge of the array. Meng Lingyue pointed at the array disk, and the array door rotated rapidly. Meng Zhixuan could not pass through immediately, but Ruan Ci had already attacked again. The two figures kept shuttling in the small array, chasing and fighting across the people reciting scriptures cross-legged. The black Qi in Junior Sister Lian's inner landscape, on the contrary, seemed to lose its host and was gradually dispelled by Chi Pengpeng.

"Only one Demon Sect disciple! Still unable to be distracted!" Chi Pengpeng said coldly, "Foundation Establishment early stage, dare to come and make trouble? Look at my means!"

She pinched the formula with both hands and said 'fast'! The golden bracelets left her hands one after another, stringing into a bell drum in the air. Chi Pengpeng held the bell drum and shook it repeatedly. In the crisp bell sound, both Junior Sister Lian and Meng Zhixuan had trance Qi machines appearing above their heads. Many cause and effect lines above their heads spread outward. At this moment, the two thickest lines had very similar breath and color, floating from above their heads to the distance. Even above the heads of Senior Brother Hu, Pan Tanruo and others, there were faint Qi machines spreading, but the color was not so heavy. Only Meng Lingyue, Li Pingyan, Chi Pengpeng, and Ruan Ci were not stained at all.

"Junior Sister Ci!"

Once this Qi machine appeared, it broke away from everyone. The black Qi in Junior Sister Lian's inner landscape suddenly dissipated, and Meng Zhixuan's face also had the look of waking up from a big dream. The Qi machine retreated toward the distance in the forest. Chi Pengpeng shouted, but where did Ruan Ci wait for her to speak? As soon as this cause and effect Qi machine appeared, it was locked by her, and she smiled, "Where are you going?"

Her body turned into a light, but she chased directly along this Qi machine. Chi Pengpeng shook the bell drum frequently, driving away the Qi machine on everyone, and then said, "If you can't hold the spell at all times, wear the Purification Heart Talisman, so as not to be taken advantage of by Demon Sect disciples again—follow me!"

Everyone then knew the power of the Demon Sect and hurriedly followed Chi Pengpeng to fly up to chase Ruan Ci. While flying, they took out the Purification Heart Talisman to wear. In the panic, some people didn't bring the Purification Heart Talisman out. These cultivators usually have competitions in the sect, but they think their spiritual sense is superior and can hold multiple big spells at the same time, and the Purification Heart Spell is not difficult, so many don't bring the Purification Heart Talisman. Only then did they know that in this life-and-death contest, their own spell holding is not so dense, and the enemy is almost pervasive. They didn't know when they planted seeds in their hearts, and when to harvest, all in the other party's thought.

Chi Pengpeng scattered hundreds of Purification Heart Talismans at will. This talisman is very cheap at ordinary times, but at this time it became the sweet dew of long drought. Everyone was grateful and weeping. Chi Pengpeng didn't care, sneered, "Saving you is nothing more than looking at your senior brothers and sisters, this is the favor I sold to them."

She glanced at Li Pingyan and Meng Lingyue and sighed, "It's a pity."

Everyone then knew that Chi Pengpeng and Ruan Ci were not really at odds, but deliberately showed weakness to the enemy. I'm afraid the four had a tacit understanding in private. Everyone couldn't help but blush, especially the Pinghai Sect disciples, who had many criticisms of Meng Lingyue, but today they got Chi Pengpeng's help because of her, and everyone felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Meng Lingyue was still as if nothing had happened, and said to Chi Pengpeng, "Senior Sister Chi is polite. You flourishing sect disciples are truly well-deserved. Our little bit of cultivation is at most not dragging you down. Even at this moment, following you is because if we are left alone, I'm afraid we will become the resources of the Demon Sect. What is the favor of our late disciples worth Senior Sister Chi's attention?"

She is mostly humble, and everyone doesn't take it too seriously, but after hearing Meng Lingyue say this, everyone also feels that flourishing sect disciples are truly powerful, not to mention Ruan Ci's movement technique, which is many times faster than when they were walking with them, even the mysterious power of Chi Pengpeng's bell drum is unheard of before. Everyone couldn't help but admire and admire, and the dissatisfaction with flourishing sect disciples had already vanished, and some cultivators were already dejected and lost confidence in their future path.

Chi Pengpeng had no pride on her face and shook her head, "What well-deserved, it's just luck."

She was about to say more, when her expression moved, and she said, "That person's Qi machine is broken, I just don't know if Junior Sister Ci can catch up with his body during this time."

The Demon Sect disciple's Qi machine appeared because of the power of the bell drum. At this time, it broke, and Chi Pengpeng naturally felt it. However, Ruan Ci did not cover up the Qi machine, and she turned to track Ruan Ci, which was the same. Her feet did not stop, leading everyone to a cliff. The cliff was very wide. Looking at it from a close distance, it was a large plane, and looking at it from a distance, it was like an eagle hook, and the whole face bent toward the lower diagonal. Ruan Ci was standing outside the large stone, standing in the air, looking at the morning sun, her clothes were blown by the strong wind, looking exceptionally clear and dusty.

The terrain of this cliff is very high, and the spiritual flowers are rolling in the strong wind, which is very uncomfortable for cultivators, and Ruan Ci can stand in the air so freely. Everyone is secretly admiring, but also knows that I am afraid that the Demon Sect disciple has been lost. Chi Pengpeng swept forward and was about to speak, when her expression suddenly changed. Ruan Ci and her looked at each other and called back in unison.

"Don't come over!"

"Retreat quickly!"

But these words were said too late. Everyone only felt that their bodies sank, and in the chaotic spiritual energy, the whole cliff suddenly squirmed, and the large stone like an eagle hook lifted upward, turning into a bird's beak, biting into the air, and an infinite suction force was emitted from the mouth, swallowing all ten people into the mouth, and turning into a vertical cliff again.

Updated, sorry for the long wait, everyone! I will send out red packets for this chapter!

Actually, I have been telling friends that I admire the great god Wang Yu very much when I write this paragraph. His fighting method is really well written, the sense of picture is very strong, and the tension is full. This is the first time I have written fighting and fighting scenes. I only knew that it really needs practice when I wrote it.

I abandoned "Rebirth to Get Ahead" when I saw 80%. I felt that the routine was repeating itself to that part, so it was not fun, but the first 80% was still very wonderful. The author himself also said that he prefers to write about small people getting into side doors rather than tycoon literature, but the problem with this article is that when it reaches 80%, the protagonist has no reason not to be a tycoon, but he is still engaged in evil ways, and it is all the same mode, so it is a bit tasteless. However, the writing is still very good, everyone can see it!

I don't know what to eat for lunch, I can't report, I only saw a winter melon on the cutting board... I'm going to the hospital now~
