Not climbing the Qingyun Ladder

Chapter 7

Hua Xiangrong quickly calculated the current situation.

Three against two, excluding herself who has no fighting ability, it is actually two against two, which is fair.All she had to do was protect herself, and then see if she could make up for it when necessary.

Thinking of this, Hua Xiangrong slowly retreated behind Pei Jin and Su Budu.

In this current situation, Chen Shen is the key.He was the one who kept shouting and killing, and he was probably the one who set up the whole situation. Shui Shengyan probably just helped him.

Obviously Pei and Su also knew this, so they attacked Chen Shen in unison.

Pei Jin only used one talisman this time, and after it flew out, it turned into hundreds of talismans in the air, overwhelming Chen Shen.Each charm has obscure lines that make people feel dizzy just by looking at them.

This move is one of old man Dan Qiuzi's unique skills, called kaleidoscope.People who are trapped by the ever-changing world want to escape, unless they find the main talisman hidden in it and then break it with one blow.

However, since this move is called Protean, it is very difficult to find the main talisman. Often before it is found, the trapped person has been burned to ashes by the talisman fire composed of hundreds of talismans.

It seems that Pei Jin's talisman cultivation is higher than he thought. Have you found the way yet?I don’t know if it’s “Thousand Changes” or “Ten Thousand Changes”, or is it the most special one among the Talismans?
Su Budu did not use King Qin's white jade flute this time, but a harp.The sound waves carried murderous intent and turned into substantial sound lines. The sound lines connected into a network and enveloped Chen Shen.

Um?Is this a dragnet?interesting.Hua Xiangrong looked at the sound network with great interest. This was Tianyin Valley's unique skill.Is it possible that Su Budu is from Tianyin Valley?
Tianyin Valley is one of the four sects known to Feng Yuqing a hundred years ago, and brings together the most famous music cultivators in the world.Is Su Budu the disciple of one of those people?
"There are all kinds of things, and there are also dragnets. Okay, I didn't expect that a caravan in Cangzhou would have disciples of Dan Qiuzi and disciples of Tianyin Valley. It's really interesting." Yu Shengyan said with a smile.

"It's a pity that you guessed wrong. I'm not from Tianyin Valley." Su Budu's sound network has tightly bound Chen Shen, making him unable to move.And those hundreds of talisman papers turned into talisman fire, which was about to burn Chen Shen to ashes.

"Shui Shengyan, you still don't help." Chen Shen shouted.

"It's really troublesome."

Shui Shengyan clicked his tongue, stretched out his hand to make a secret, and said softly, "Go."

A ghost holding two swords appeared out of thin air, swung the two swords down, and immediately blocked Fu Huo's attack.At the same time, a thin sword appeared in her hand and stabbed Su Budu.

Shui Shengyan, as a ghost cultivator, usually has several ghost servants around him. This pair of sword ghosts is one of them. It is said to be the soul of a sword cultivator.

Su Budu distractedly used the sound of the piano to counter the attack of the rapier. Chen Shen's sound net loosened, and he immediately broke away.Although he was out of trouble, Chen Shen didn't look uncomfortable at all. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to his knees on the ground, very embarrassed.

"You are seeking death." He was extremely angry at this moment. After struggling to stand up, several thin threads appeared on his hands.He manipulated the thin thread to entangle Su Budu, but was separated by Pei Jin's talisman paper.

"No matter who you are today or how advanced your cultivation is, you will all die." Chen Shen said with a sinister smile.

At the beginning, he was the owner of Duofu Inn with a kind face and timid appearance, and then he became a taciturn monk from Wandumen. Now his eyes are full of anger, his eyes are red, and he looks like he is possessed by a demon.

"Brother Su, something seems wrong with him." Pei Jin said while continuing to use spells to resist Chen Shen's offensive.

"Chen Shen, are you crazy? The sacrifice has not been completed. If you forcefully activate this technique now, it will only make you lose your mind and become possessed. Stop it!" Su Budu hadn't spoken yet, Shui Shengyan was anxious. shouted.

"Sacrifice? Kung Fu?" Su Budu repeated these two words, and for the first time, real murderous intent appeared on his body.

It's indeed a witchcraft.Moreover, it is a forbidden technique that has been extinct for a long time.To practice this technique, one needs to marry a bride every month, four in total, as the most important part of the sacrifice.In addition, human lives must be sacrificed at the same time. There is no upper limit to this number, the more the better.

This skill is called White Bone Sensen. After you practice it, your skill will greatly improve and your cultivation will double.Because this method is too cruel and vicious, the cultivation method has long been hidden by advanced monks and has not been seen in the light of day for hundreds of years.Unexpectedly, it reappeared in Yiling County.

No, if Chen Shen has already activated the White Bone Forest, that means——

Everything seems to be going as usual in Yiling County. People are chatting in groups on the street. People are living as usual in wine shops, shacks and high-rise buildings.Even though their faces were expressionless.

Suddenly, everyone grabbed their own necks at the same moment.They looked unconscious, without any change in their expressions, and had no idea of ​​their impending death.

Is he really crazy?Just for the so-called power, you want to massacre the entire city of Yiling Army?
Not caring to think about this, Hua Xiangrong shouted: "Kill him quickly, he is so white and bones, if you don't kill him..."

Su Budu's music stopped, and he said to Shui Shengyan, "Get out of the way."

Then he walked over slowly.Shui Shengyan didn't stop him, but stood there blankly.

Su Budu took out the white jade flute of King Qin.

Different from the last time, this time, his expression was extremely solemn.

The sound of flute flows out.Completely different from the murderous intent in him, Yuxiao's voice sounded unusually soft and desolate, making the listener almost cry.

This is a real killer song, called Drunken Life, Dreams of Death.

The madness in Chen Shen's eyes gradually faded away, and after a while, tears slowly fell from his eyes.He knelt down on the ground, covering his face with his hands and motionless, as if he was dead.

At this time, the sound of the flute suddenly became urgent.Su Budu changed the song.This time, Xiao Yin was mixed with sonorous sounds, carrying murderous intent.

Chen Shen suddenly opened his eyes, but it was too late.The inner force in the sound of the flute had already shattered his heart. He lowered his head and inserted a dagger into his throat.He tried to make a sound, but could only open his mouth.Then, he fell to the ground.

Hua Xiangrong pulled the dagger out of his throat expressionlessly, wiped it with a rag, and put it back.The hostility between the girl's brows actually frightened the other three people.

In Yiling City, those who strangled their necks like zombies released their grip at the same time.Their faces gradually gained expression, and then clear fear emerged.Some old people and children have suffocated to death.

Su Budu put away King Qin's white jade flute, and his expression returned to its usual softness: "Miss Xiangrong is really impressive."

"Didn't Young Master Su say that? I am a good person." Hua Xiangrong replied with a smile.

"This is true. You, me, and Brother Pei, we are all good people." Su Budu waved his folding fan again.

"As for Mrs. Lu? Do you have anything else to say?"

Shui Shengyan no longer cared about what Su Budu called her, but said with a shocked face: "How is it possible? How could it be a bone-white creature? Chen Shen clearly told me..."

"I told you clearly that it's just an ordinary skill that requires killing four women as sacrifices before you can practice it. Am I right?" Pei Jin asked with a sneer.

"Why don't you think about it, if this is the case, why do you use puppetry to control everyone in Yiling County?" Pei Jin said again before Shui Shengyan could answer.

"He said he was afraid that someone in Yiling would leak the news and be chased by monks. As soon as you entered the city, he originally wanted to use puppetry, but he found out that there were powerful monks in your caravan, so he failed." Shui Shengyan murmured.

Although she is not a good person and has killed many people, she still finds it difficult to accept this kind of evil magic that sacrifices the lives of people in a city.Shui Shengyan's face was pale now, and he felt a chill in his heart when he thought of the scene of corpses scattered everywhere.

She felt like she couldn't stand anymore.

"I have another question." Hua Xiangrong said.

"You ask." Shui Shengyan's tone revealed weakness.

"On the day we came, he was actually going to succeed. The fourth bride had already been married. Why did he suddenly want me to exchange?"

This was a question that had always puzzled her.The Underworld song mentioned in The Bones is the one that Hua Xiangrong heard that day, "After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, it is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the road heads west to the end. Don't stop, don't stop, we will follow you on the road to Underworld."

Marry a bride every month, and the day falls on the eighth day of the lunar month.And the day when Master Sun got married, that is, the day when the ghost courtesan got married, happened to be the eighth day of the lunar month.It shows that Chen Shenchen had deliberate intentions, and the first bride was also killed by himself.

He was about to kill four people, why did he suddenly change his mind?

"You are born unable to practice, right?" Shui Shengyan asked her.

"Yes." Hua Xiangrong nodded calmly.

"Although you can't practice, your physique is the perfect sacrifice for these evil arts that need to be sacrificed. Chen Shen is a thoughtful and vicious person, but he still can't resist the temptation brought to him by your physique. "Shui Shengyan said.

So that's it.It seems that this physique is of some use and has inadvertently saved many people's lives.Hua Xiangrong thought to herself.

"Thank you." She said to Shui Shengyan.

"You look happy?"

"It is a great thing to be able to allow an innocent woman to escape death and to save the lives of the people of Yiling. And I am a good person, so of course I should be happy." Hua Xiangrong said with a smile.

Being unable to practice is a big deal for people from a monk family.Su and Pei, who had already guessed Hua Xiangrong's parentage, saw the woman in front of them with clear eyes and bright smiles, and for the first time they showed respect for this seemingly frail person.

"Senior Shui Shengyan, now that Chen Shen is dead, do you want to collect his body?" Pei Jin asked.

Shui Shengyan looked at the corpse in front of him and shook his head: "I helped him for the sake of the Wan Puppet Sect. Since he is crazy about practicing forbidden arts, he must be blamed for his death. You can just dispose of his body on your own."

Then she moved and was no longer visible.

"Just let her go like this?" Pei Jin said reluctantly.

"She knows we can't kill her, so she has no fear." Su Budu looked at the place where Shui Shengyan disappeared and said with lowered eyes.

"Even if she doesn't know all of Chen Shen's conspiracy, she regards the lives of the four women as nothing and deserve to die."

Pei Jin clenched his fists, seemingly angry at his powerlessness.

"The difference between monks and mortals is nothing more than clouds and mud." Su Budu said plainly.

He said this without any emotion, making people wonder what he was feeling.

　I was busy until eleven o'clock today, so that's all I'll write.
