Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 244 The Pig Rider
After Jin Zhen said the words "Liu Xian Han Tu", she disappeared without warning, just like Ji Lao and other defenders who had disappeared suddenly, no one knew where she had gone.

That night, Su Ji and Niu Zhu fetched a bucket of water from the well in the village to quench their thirst, and then fell down in the ruined temple to make do for the night.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Ji asked the villagers for news, but they didn't hear anything strange, only that seven miles away was the capital of Baoguo.

The two left the isolated village, intending to go to the capital with more people to inquire about news.

Niu Zhu still led the ox on foot, and walked a long way along the path outside the village.

Su Ji rode on the back of the bull, looked up at the blue sky, and was lost in thought for a long time.All I can think about is "The Cold Picture of Willow Immortals".He remembered that the first time he heard this thing was from Xi Bofeng's mouth.At this moment, he can still clearly recall Xi Bofeng's wandering eyes that day, and Jiang Ling's inexplicable silence.

Since leaving customs three years ago, Su Ji has heard the same thing from three different people in succession.

Is this just a coincidence?If Niu Zhu hadn't defeated Jin Zhen; if Niu Zhu hadn't comprehended the essence of the mountain axe; if there had been a slight deviation in the previous situation, what would happen now?

If everything that happened was carefully arranged by Chai Song, then everything that happened in front of him was inevitable, and there was no chance coincidence.Those who feel accidental are just that the people in the formation do not understand the rules of the formation.At this moment, it must be following an unbreakable law, just like the water upstream, no matter how long it takes, no matter how many meandering rivers it flows through, it will eventually flow into the sea.

Su Ji couldn't help feeling astonished, and secretly thought that Chai Song, who was able to deploy this formation, was a well-deserved master of predicting things.He began to understand why Master wanted Chai Song to take over as the leader of Chan, not Niu Zhu or himself.

While bowing his head and thinking, Su Ji heard the loud sound of gongs and drums behind him, accompanied by a burst of orderly footsteps.

The two looked back, and saw a large group of powerful people coming from a distance, surrounded by a bridal sedan chair.The sedan chair is gorgeous and magnificent.Clusters of flowers decorate the sedan chair, and colorful silks and satins are hung on the four corners, fluttering in the wind.

Four hunky-backed men walked in a uniform pace, carrying a sedan chair on the narrow and long path.

Seeing that the team was moving faster, Niu Zhu led the bull back to the side of the road, intending to let the other team pass first.

Su Ji rode on the bull, looking at the passing team.The guards beside the sedan chair had long swords hanging from their waists, purple gold crowns on their heads, and luxurious costumes. Gu Pan smiled gently and behaved gracefully.The horses they ride are all purebred horses, noble and majestic, and even the saddles are made of pure gold.

The two waited for a long time on the side of the road.

The team walked for a long time on this narrow path, there were at least dozens of people, even hundreds of people.When the long line was about to finish, Su Ji found that a man riding a pig was following him five feet away from the end of the line.

Su Ji thought he was wrong at first, but he looked at it carefully again.It turned out that the man riding was really a pig.

Pigs are very lazy animals and usually don't walk with people on their backs.The person riding a pig must not be as fat as a pig.The man riding the pig was a Taoist priest in white. Although he was not particularly thin, his face was haggard, as if he was sick.

Coincidentally, Su Ji knew the Taoist priest in white.He is "Jing Yang", the younger brother of "Jing Ming".Su Ji remembered that when he went to Haojing three years ago, in order to inquire about Qingli's news, he used the Qingling Nightmare Technique on Jingyang.

Su Ji was puzzled, why did the people in the front line ride on tall white horses, while Jing Yang, who was at the end of the line, rode a pig?It just doesn't fit.The weird team in front of him reminded Su Ji of a dragon with a pig's tail.

"Master Jingyang?" Niu Zhu exclaimed, and Qian Niu walked over.

Su Ji was even more surprised, unexpectedly, the first person to call out this title was not himself, but Niu Zhu.

Jing Yang looked this way, and when he found Niu Zhu, he had a rather surprised expression on his face.

"Second brother, do you know each other?" Su Ji asked.

Niu Zhu led the cow to the pig in Jingyang Dao, excitedly said: "Da Ben saved this Daoist once on the mountain."

Jing Yang looked at Su Ji, and said, "This fellow Taoist, have we met somewhere?"

Su Ji hurriedly said: "No, you must have misremembered. I haven't asked for advice yet."

Jingyang said: "My Dharma name is Jingyang, and I am a disciple of Xingjun in Tufu Mountain in Feiyun Cave of Jialong Mountain."

Su Ji knew that "Tufu Xingjun" was a god, who was the grandson of Tufu 250 years ago.Su Ji wondered in his heart, could it be that when he meets this person now, he is also developing in the direction planned by Chai Song?

He couldn't help but start to suspect that maybe there is no coincidence or fate in this world, everything is man-made, at least before leaving the Twelve Spirit Platforms of Interpretation and Teaching, everything is not a pure coincidence.

At this moment, a cow and a pig are walking side by side on the path.

The pigs grunt and chirp, and the cows moo and moo, as if they are chatting back and forth.

Su Ji was also chatting with Jingyang, and asked, "Master Jingyang, are you the defender of the Twelve Spirit Terrace Formation?"

"Defender?" Jing Yang was slightly taken aback, then said immediately, "Well, it's me, I'm the defender"

Su Ji and Niu Zhu looked at each other, and felt that Jing Yang's expression was a little weird, as if he knew little about the defense.

Jingyang said: "To be honest, I don't know why Chai Shouzuo chose me as the defender. Chai Shouzuo helped to find two treasures, the Immortal Binding Rope and the Demon Binding Rope. I really couldn't refuse, so I had to reluctantly agree. Now I have an important matter, I have no time to be distracted for the time being, so it is convenient for you."

After finishing speaking, Jingming took out a copper plate and muttered something in his mouth.The "Hai Pig" totem on the copper plate dimmed.

Niu Zhu was startled suddenly, and said in astonishment: "Master Jingyang, you let us go so easily?"

Su Ji was quite surprised, and couldn't figure out why Chai Song chose such a person to defend the formation. Could it be that he chose a pig rider just to make up the twelve zodiac signs?
Jingyang sighed: "Chai Shouzuo asked me to challenge you, but I know in my heart that if you can break through the sword formation of Senior Sister Jinzhen, you will be unable to do anything with my ability. Why ask for trouble? Besides, now I have urgent matters, and I really don't have time to deal with you."

As he said that, Jing Yang patted the pig's head, drove the pig away, and tried hard to catch up with the team in front.

Niu Zhu followed up with Niu Niu and asked, "Daoist Jingyang, what can you do? Maybe we can help you."

Su Ji clicked his tongue, secretly scolding him for meddling in his own business.

Jing Yang rode on a pig and said, "You are the master's disciples, if you want to help, I will not refuse. I came to Baoguo this time to investigate the cause of my senior brother Wu Lian's death."

"Wu Lian?" Su Ji asked, "Are you talking about the disciple of Taoist Tubie?"

"I know that you have seen a Wu Lian in the Qilin Yun test. That Wu Lian was pretended by a man named Yang Ni. The real Wu Lian died three years ago, in Baowang City."

Su Ji asked: "Why did Wu Lian's demon-binding rope fall into Yang Ni's hands? Could it be that Wu Lian was killed by Yang Ni?"

Jing Yang said: "I also suspected that Yang Nixing would seize the treasure. However, later I thought about it, Wu Lian's death should be the work of a monster. Wu Lian was carrying the demon-binding rope before his death. The demon-binding rope is from Jialong Mountain. The secret treasure of the Taoist sect is a treasure that people in Taoism can't ask for. If the murderer was a human, he would definitely not leave this treasure behind, so I suspect that Yang Ni is just stealing the treasure, and the real murderer is a monster that can't touch the demon rope .”

Su Ji asked: "The monsters you are talking about, but those people you are chasing?"

Jing Yang looked at the sedan chair team in front, and said: "I have followed them for a while, and the one sitting in that sedan chair is the adoptive daughter of the emperor of Baoguo. I suspect that she is a demon. She used the green nightmare technique to confuse her. people around me."

Niu Zhu asked puzzledly: "Why do you suspect that she is a demon?"

Jing Yang touched the pig's head, and said: "I am riding an evil spirit beast. If it weren't for it, I'm afraid I've already been hit by that monster's green nightmare technique. I will never get hit by the same trick a second time." .”

Niu Zhu suddenly realized, no wonder he wanted to tame a pig as a mount.

Su Ji asked: "You just said the second time, could it be that you have fought against that monster before?"

Jing Yang nodded and said: "Three years ago, Master's fairy rope was stolen in Wangxian Tower. I went to Haojing to track down Ye Linglong's whereabouts, and found myself being followed by a young man wearing a meteor crane cloak. I walked into an alley I passed out in a groggy state, but fortunately, I was rescued by Taoist Huangmei and Grand Master Jifu passing by. They said that when they found me, I was sleeping on the ground and had a nightmare in my body. After waking up, I can't remember the face of that young man, and I found that the purse was gone."

Su Ji's eyes flowed, the young man Jing Yang mentioned was clearly himself, and the adopted daughter of the monarch he mentioned should be a demon who also knew how to use the Green Nightmare Technique.

Seeing Su Ji thoughtful, Jing Yang couldn't help asking: "Looking at you, do you have a clue?"

Su Ji shook his head, "I just think this matter is really weird, and we helped with this."
