Chapter 216 Demonic Realm
The north wind is howling.
On Wuze Lake, a large ship is heading north.
Wuze has a vast water area, connecting three prefectures and directly connected to the prefecture.
Now the large ship is heading north to Ningzhou, which is somewhat unusual.
Although the fish king was captured and the spirit fish gradually dispersed, they only gradually dispersed and did not disappear immediately.
Based on the principle that mosquito legs are also meat, the ships of the major forces did not leave. Instead, they forced their fishermen to seize the last bit of time and catch the spirit fish with all their strength before they disappear.
The last carnival.
But this large ship did not participate and chose to leave in a different way.
After all, it is a "royal" ship. As the head of the Daxing court, it must maintain its status. Although it did not eat meat this time, the soup must be distributed to its subordinates, otherwise how can it convince the public?
Anyway, no matter how to fish, the big head will pay tribute in the end, so why waste time and lower your status.
Compared with petty profits, they have more important things to do.
"Spiritual objects, spiritual objects..."
In the magnificent and luxurious cabin, Yu Wenjie's face was as gloomy as water.
Shen Hongyu remained silent, and her beautiful eyes were also filled with sorrow.
As one of the twelve immortal envoys in Daxing, their mission is to travel the world and collect all kinds of spiritual objects for the court.
This is a top priority, especially at this critical moment.
Ancestor, the infant is about to condense, and the demonic nature is getting stronger. It is urgent to use spiritual objects to eliminate the demonic nature and suppress the demonic chaos and evil in the body, otherwise... there may be something unbearable to say!
"No matter what, you and I must find a spiritual object!"
Yuwen Jie said in a deep voice: "As long as we pass this level and the ancestor successfully condenses the infant, we can rely on the foundation of Daxing Mountain to kill the demon fetus and become an immortal through corpse transformation, so that Daxing Mountain can also produce a world-suppressing immortal!"
"Corpse-transformed immortal?"
Shen Hongyu murmured, with a bit of yearning in her eyes, and then smiled bitterly: "How can it be that simple."
"Even if there are a lot of difficulties, we must give it a try!"
Yuwen Jie's face was cold and his words were firm: "Only the world-suppressing immortals are qualified to form an alliance. The nine sects' corpse transformation and the whole sect's ascension are the only chance of survival in this world. No matter what, we must give it a try!"
"The whole sect's ascension?"
"I hope so."
Shen Hongyu shook her head and said no more.
At this moment...
"Bang!!!"
With a loud noise, the hull shook.
"Huh!?"
"What's going on?"
Yuwen Jie frowned and turned his eyes outside.
Shen Hongyu also frowned: "Maybe it hit a reef?"
"Hit a reef?"
"How is that possible!"
Yu Wenjie frowned, feeling uneasy, and walked out immediately.
Although they were foundation-building cultivators, they were restricted by the demonic energy, so their way of traveling was always simple, just ordinary carriages and boats. They would not use any magic tools or escape lights unless it was a critical moment.
After all, whether it was a magic tool or an escape light, using it would consume mana.
When mana is consumed, it must be restored, and the Yuanling of heaven and earth must be absorbed, as well as the demonic energy that cultivators cannot avoid.
In such a world, if you don't want to become a demon, you must be frugal and try your best to save mana and reduce consumption, thereby reducing the absorption of Yuanling and the pollution of demonic energy.
They were no exception. Even if they were immortal envoys and the faces of Daxingshan, they would only travel in ordinary carriages and boats. They didn't dare to fly long distances and consume a lot of true essence and mana.
"Sir!"
A personal guard came and reported: "The bottom of the boat collided, it seems to have hit something, and someone has been ordered to go into the water to check."
Yu Wenjie did not say a word, and flew directly to the outside of the boat.
However, just after leaving the boat...
"Huh!"
A cold wind blew, bringing with it a smell of rust.
A smell like rust.
Yu Wenjie's pupils shrank, and his body froze in mid-air.
Ahead, the water was hazy and the dark fog was surging.
The dark fog, like a tide, quickly filled the space and filled the field of vision.
In a blink of an eye, the water ahead was shrouded in endless dark fog.
No, not only in front, looking around, the dark fog was surging in all directions.
The dark fog was surging, almost solid, even the lake water turned dark, and it spread quickly like blood.
Yu Wenjie's body froze, and he was stuck in mid-air, looking at the surging dark fog, his eyes were full of panic, fear, and rapidly growing despair.
"Demon!?"
"How is it possible, how is it possible!"
"Hongyu, run!"
A scream, the last moral, then turned into a cold light, regardless of the consumption of mana straight into the sky.
"My Lord!"
"This..."
On the boat behind, everyone was at a loss when they saw this.
"Demon Realm?"
"Damn it!!!"
And Shen Hongyu, who had heard the sound and rushed out, also changed his expression when he saw this, and then jumped up and turned into a flaming red light, like Yu Wenjie, and went straight to the sky.
A moment later...
"Damn it, damn it!!!"
One blue and one red, two colors of light, followed back.
It turned out to be two people, who went and came back.
The two escape lights fell back on the boat, showing the figures of Yu Wenjie and Shen Hongyu, with a look of shock and anger on their faces, and they were furious.
"How could this happen, how could this happen!"
"This is not the first time that a spirit fish has appeared. No trace of the devil was seen in the previous times. Why this time... Damn it!"
Yu Wenjie was so angry that he could not control himself. He slapped the edge of the boat with one hand, smashing the three-meter guardrail.
Shen Hongyu also saw despair, but as a foundation-building monk after all, she quickly made up her mind: "What's the point of talking about this? The demon realm has been established, the sky is sealed, and the land is sealed. The only way to survive is to find a place to hold on. Maybe it's possible to survive the demon." "Jie."
Shen Hongyu gritted her teeth and shouted to everyone: "Give me the order and go back the way you came. Quick!"
"yes!"
Soon, the big boat took action and retreated to the center of the lake in panic.
It was also the same time that the big ship took action...
In the dark mist, a silhouette slowly swayed out.
Looking closely, the outline gradually became clearer, and it turned out to be a lone boat.
On the lonely boat, I saw a person sitting alone on the bow.
"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"
The man seemed to be a Brahma monk. His head was smooth and clean, his worries were gone, but his face was missing.
A snow-white monk's robe was stained with bright red blood, spots and large areas.
But he didn't care. He sat alone on the bow of the boat and kept knocking on something, making a clear and long wooden fish sound.
There are also verses and poems, and Sanskrit chants are sung...
"The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror."
"Brush it diligently at all times to avoid dust."
"Hahaha……"
"Amitabha, good, good!"
"Woooooooo..."
"No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror."
"There is nothing there, so where is the dust?"
"There is nothing there, so where is the dust?"
"..."
During the chanting of Sanskrit music, there were sounds of mourning again, and as the wooden fish struck, a dark mist surged in and invaded.
…
At the same time, in the middle of Wuze Lake.
"Sir, if you go into the water in this weather, it will kill you!"
"Master, please show mercy and have mercy on us. My family of seven, young and old, all depend on my fishing. We really can't catch this fish for you."
"Miss Li, Miss Li, please show mercy and give us a way to survive!"
"Don't fight, don't fight, let's go into the water, why don't we go into the water?"
"Dad..."
Hundreds of awning boats were driven here, and thousands of fishermen gathered in the center of Wuze Lake to catch spiritual fish driven by various forces.
The snow is falling in the south, showing the extreme cold. The water in Wuze is biting and cold, and countless fishermen find it difficult to come out after entering the water.
Even so, each family still refused to relax and still wanted to enjoy the last spiritual fish feast.
On the big ship, Li Suhong looked indifferent and ignored the noises everywhere.
Taoist Zhu Yang was nearby, glanced at her, and then smiled again, singing drunkenly.
suddenly……
"What is this!"
"What are you doing here with a dead fish?"
"Why is this net full of dead fish?"
"This fish..."
On a awning boat, the fisherman struggled to pull up the big net. He looked at the motionless dead fish covered in red spots in the fishing net, with a look of surprise on his face.
Then, I felt itching on the back of my neck and instinctively reached out to scratch it.
As a result, when the fingertips touched, it turned out to be a delicate, familiar yet unfamiliar touch, with a slight pain.
When he looked down, he saw a thin scale stained with blood in his hand.
"This is……"
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"this……"
A moment later, screams of surprise started one after another.
"Um!?"
On the big ship, all the forces also realized that something was wrong.
Taoist Zhu Yang was surprised. He turned around and saw a surging fog in the distance, hinting at the potential of a dark sky.
"this……"
"not good!"
"It's a demon!"
"How?"
Shocked to see the change, everyone was shocked.
Taoist Zhu Yang's eyes narrowed, and then without thinking, he directly set up the escape light and shot it into the distant sky.
Li Suhong also stood up in shock, looking at the surging dark mist in the distance, dazed and at a loss.
After a while, a ray of light returned and fell into the big ship.
Zhu Yang's figure reappeared, his face was livid, he was frightened and angry.
"How could this happen!"
"Damn!!"
"Master, this..."
"Immortal Master..."
"Don't say anything!"
Zhu Yang shouted sharply and interrupted everyone: "Set the boat immediately and go to the dock!"
"yes……"
"ah!"
"Monster, monster!"
"Help, help!"
"Go quickly, go quickly!"
While a few people were talking, there was chaos below.
Several fishermen had fish scales on their bodies with red spots. They fell off with blood at the slightest touch of their palms. It was shocking and horrifying.
Several people were frightened and turned to the surroundings for help, but the people around them did not dare to pay attention. Even the warriors from all forces were shocked and moved away one after another.
Fear spread like a plague. The small black-topped boats bumped into each other like headless flies. Several large iron-clad ships also moved away. Regardless of the screams and cries of the fishermen, they knocked over and crushed the small black-topped boats. Panic Fleeing in panic.
…
That night, the moon disappeared and the stars disappeared, and it was dark.
A small boat with a black awning hurriedly sailed out of Wuze Lake and arrived at the fish market pier.
At this time, the pier was no longer guarded. Hundreds of awning boats were parked in a haphazard manner. The officials who were watching the gambling did not know where they had gone. The ground was covered with all kinds of debris, as well as shocking blood stains and corpses. Silent narration Following the previous chaotic storm.
But Ah Qing couldn't care about this. She hurriedly tore off her raincoat, carried a thin figure out of the cabin, jumped into the water with a pop, swam with all her strength to the shore and headed towards the fish market. Run.
"Hold on, hold on, sister will take you to see Doctor Mo, he must have a way to cure this strange disease, hold on!"
Ah Qing, who was anxious and desperate, didn't care about the current situation and ran to the fish market with his brother on his back.
The fish market was even more messy, with blood everywhere, and traces of scrambles, fights, and killings.
Many shops were destroyed, and the people who were familiar in the past disappeared. The doors of the shops were smashed open, and the ground was scattered with broken silver, rice, clothes and other household items.
Only, there were no living people, not a single living person.
There was only darkness, dead silence, and the shadowy outlines of buildings.
Is this a fish market, or a ghost market?
"Ho, ho, ho!"
In the darkness, in the dead silence, the panting sound became particularly clear.
Ah Qing, who ran over, looked at the messy and empty fish market, and his heart kept sinking.
The fish market has become like this?
Where is Doctor Mo? Is he still here?
What happened? How could it turn out like this?
The girl was confused.
But the faint breathing behind her made her firm.
"Let's go to the medicine store first. Doctor Mo, Doctor Mo must still be there."
Although she was deceiving herself, she had no other choice at this point. Ah Qing gritted her teeth and ran to the medicine store with her brother on her back.
The medicine store was not far away and they arrived soon, but the familiar door had been smashed open. There was no light inside and no one was there.
"This..."
Ah Qing slowed down involuntarily and came to the door of the store carefully. In addition to the familiar smell of medicine, there was also a strange smell in the air.
A strange fishy smell.
It was like fishy smell and rotten meat, which made people sick.
Ah Qing frowned, held her breath, and carefully walked into the medicine store with her brother on her back.
"Mo, Doctor Mo?"
"Are you there?"
"I, I am Ah Qing!"
After shouting a few times, no one responded, and Ah Qing's heart sank even more.
Even so, she was unwilling to leave. She went to the front desk and fumbled for a while based on her memory, and successfully found a fire starter.
"Huhu!"
She opened it and blew it, and the fire lit up, barely illuminating the room.
The medicine shop was in a mess, and it was obviously looted.
Ah Qing held the fire starter in one hand and supported her brother on her back with the other hand, and walked carefully to the back hall of the medicine shop.
Even if there was little hope, she was unwilling to give up.
When she arrived at the back hall, the smell of medicine was stronger, and the stench was more obvious.
Ah Qing shone forward, and her pupils shrank immediately.
In front of her, there was a scarlet red and blood all over the ground, as if she had experienced a very tragic battle.
But there was no corpse, only a group of unknown things, huddled in the corner.
Ah Qing took the fire starter and shone forward with shock, only to see a familiar set of clothes, now stained with blood, and a lot of sticky yellow juice, emitting a disgusting stench.
"Doctor Mo!"
Looking at the familiar clothes, Ah Qing screamed and was about to go forward to check.
As a result, as soon as he moved...
"Pah!"
There was a strange sound, as if something was pulling out.
In the corner, a person huddled in a ball slowly turned his head, revealing an extremely horrifying face.
His head was disheveled, with dark hair, and underneath was withered, shriveled, and sickly skin, tightly wrapped around his face. There was no trace of flesh and blood, just a skeleton with skin attached.
The skeleton's eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the muddy yellow pupils inside showed a turbid and rippling texture, as if pus would overflow at any time. The lower half of the face was covered with bright red blood stains, highlighting the extremely terrifying bloody mouth with interlocking teeth.
It turned around and half-crouched in the corner, with a pair of extremely long arms extending from the sleeves of its long gown. There was a huge wound on its chest, and a large amount of flesh and blood pulled out, wriggling and moving around the edge of the wound, like a living earthworm, trying to fill it in and recover from the injury.
However, it was useless, completely useless. The sharp sword energy was everywhere, crushing the blood and flesh granulations that were spurting out. A large amount of blood and pus flowed out, forming a small puddle at its feet.
"Mo, Doctor Mo!"
Ah Qing shrank back, looking at the familiar yet strange "person" in front of her, her body trembled, and she could not help but retreat.
"Is it Ah Qing?"
"Haha... cough cough cough!"
The man laughed when he saw this, and stood up with a hunched back, but he still fell to the ground with great effort, and could only crawl towards Ah Qing with all his limbs.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm just sick, take some medicine, take some medicine..."
As he said, he struggled to crawl towards Ah Qing.
Ah Qing also woke up, and I don't know where the strength came from, propped up her body and turned around to escape.
However...
"Where are you going?"
A burst of power came from behind, knocking her to the ground.
"Brother!"
The force was not great, and the fall was not severe, but Ah Qing was panicked. He used his hands and feet to crawl to his brother, but found that he had already fainted.
"Brother!"
Looking at his brother who was unknown whether he was dead or alive, Ah Qing screamed, and turned to Doctor Mo without knowing where he got the strength.
"Medicine, my medicine, give it to me, give it to me...!"
Like a demon crawling out of a mass grave, he screamed and babbled, crawling towards Ah Qing and the others.
Ah Qing gritted his teeth, his body trembled, but he still pulled out the short knife at his waist, ready to make a final desperate struggle.
"Huh!"
A black shadow flew over, and a fishy wind came. Ah Qing pushed the short knife forward with trembling hands.
At the same time, in the void, the yin energy gathered violently, and a shadow took shape, riding a horse and holding a knife to chop at the evil ghost.
