Chapter 88 Gone with the Wind · Chapter 3 Soul-stirring Silk

Li Qiang smiled and said: "So you know each other?" Hongqian said: "Uncle, this child was a disciple who met in Feilingzhai when he was practicing in the Western Continent. He was only seven or eight years old at that time. Later, I entrusted him to a I saw him again when he was in his twenties, but I haven’t seen him since then.” Lang Qianye said with tears in his eyes: “Uncle is younger than that time, I thought your old man was already gray-haired, I really didn't expect it." Hongqian patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Get up, Ye Zi, if you say that, I'm going to be an old man, come and see my uncle."

Lang Qianye was very surprised, because Li Qiang looked younger.If Qi Junsha is here, I'm afraid he's really going to faint, and he's really smaller than the other.He hastily saluted and said: "Junior Lang Qianye pays respects to senior." He bowed formally.Li Qiang hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile, "Don't call me senior, it sounds awkward, just call me boss. Hehe, this is for you." Li Qiang handed him a small Peiyuan Pill, and said with a smile: "Eat it while practicing, it will work very well." Lang Qianye thanked him repeatedly, and he seemed very excited.Bishi, Bitong, and Naughty Gong all looked at Lang Qianye enviously, knowing that the panacea Li Qiang gave must be unusual, but they were too embarrassed to ask for it.

Lang Qianye is a well-known master in the Western Continent. He has been taught by Hongqian, knows a little cultivation method, and is good at using a broad sword.He asked: "Uncle, why did you come to Yanzhai?" Hongqian smiled and said: "We saw the smog here from a distance, so we came over to have a look. That's why my uncle made a move." The naughty old man laughed and said, "The rain has become heavier, Brother Lang, let's go into the village and talk about it." The heavy rain was mixed with lightning and thunder, as if a gap had been torn open in the sky, the heavy rain poured down, and the surrounding scenery became blurred.Lang Qianye hurriedly said: "Oh, please! I was negligent. Boss, uncle, brother, let's go into the village." A group of people sat on black-tipped horses and ran towards the rock village.

The largest house in the rock village is a wooden building elevated on the edge of the rock wall, which is owned by the leader of the native tribe here. The wooden building is close to the rock wall, and a huge space is carved out of the rock wall, which is called the back hall.Lang Qianye led the way, came to the cave hall, and then called his subordinates to bring hot water for everyone to scrub, and brought dry clothes and pants.Li Qiang also ordered a set, because his attire was too eye-catching. Everyone takes their seats.Li Qiang has always had a question in his heart, he asked: "Qianye, why did the warriors of the Fan Kingdom besiege you?"

Lang Qianye said with a wry smile: "It's not for the people of Ladu Kingdom. This time we escorted an important person from Ladu Kingdom. Alas, I don't know what happened, the news leaked out, and the warriors of Fan Kingdom have been following him If we don't let go, they finally blocked us in Yanzhai, fortunately the native leader of Yanzhai is my friend, and finally blocked them by virtue of the terrain of Yanzhai, otherwise we would all be ruined." Nashan yelled: "No wonder! Princess Lanqiu was also chased and killed by Fan Kingdom warriors in Tanbang Continent. It seems that Fan Kingdom and Ladu Kingdom have enmity." Lang Qianye said in surprise: "You know Princess Lanqiu? Ladu Kingdom is a well-known Princess of Mercy, she has high prestige among the common people, and she is the crown prince of Ladu Kingdom." Li Qiang and the others were stunned, be good!Princess Lanqiu turned out to be the future emperor of Ladu Kingdom.Nashan opened his mouth and said after a while: "Prince Chu? Your Majesty? A woman?" He simply couldn't understand.

Li Qiang stood up and took a few steps. He was not used to the clothes on his body. He couldn't help imitating Qi Junsha, raised his hand and tore off the hem of the white robe, and then tore off the long sleeves. He said with a smile, "This is much better. Well, Qianye, do you know about the Tianlu Grassland?" The people in the hall only felt that Li Qiang was acting strangely, and couldn't figure out why he had to tear off his good clothes. Now he The appearance is very strange. Lang Qianye didn't dare to laugh at Li Qiang, he replied politely: "Boss, I know something, the news about the Fengjiu Guards is relatively well-informed, and the blessing larks in the Tianlu Grassland... there is such a thing, However, our chief guard strictly ordered no one to participate, because Bailing is involved in Mang Yuan, alas! The villages have been abandoned a lot, because people will always die inexplicably, and many people have heard rumors that something big seems to happen in the wilderness, but no one can tell what the big thing is, which makes people panic."

Hongqian was the only person among all the people who had been close to Mangyuan. Although his master led him around the periphery of Mangyuan at that time, he still failed to enter the hinterland. Even so, he knew the situation of Mangyuan better than everyone else.But now he couldn't think of what happened in Mangyuan, which made everyone panic. Even practitioners from the cultivation world kept flocking to the Western Continent, trying to understand what happened.Hongqian said: "Yezi, your chief guard is very wise, you don't want to get involved, it's very dangerous."

Lang Qianye hesitated and said: "Yes, there is another legend about the blessings of the Tianlu Grassland. It is said that it is a scam, designed to deceive ignorant people. Once deceived, there will be no bones left. Uncle, because For this reason, our chief guard strictly forbids them to go. In fact, recently, many large and small caravans and merchants are planning to stop to check the situation, and some rumors are really scary." The cave hall and the wooden building in front are connected by a short wooden bridge surrounded by wooden railings. Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can clearly see the sky outside.The rainwater flew down the rock hole, like a water curtain hanging down, and the sound of "squeaking" water kept going.

When Li Qiang walked to the railing, he was suddenly disturbed. He stared at the raindrops and fell into deep thought. A guard ran over from the wooden bridge and shouted: "Big guard! Big guard! Our sentry came back to report that the Fan Guo warriors had retreated. They seemed to be in a hurry and left in a hurry." Lang Qianye was surprised He said calmly: "What happened? Why did you retreat so quickly? This doesn't seem to be the habit of Fan Guo warriors. It's strange!" He thought for a while and said: "Explore again." Soon, the guards came again to report: "All the Fan Guo warriors are gone." Although Lang Qianye was puzzled, he was finally relieved that the Fan Guo warriors retreated.

Li Qiang said suddenly: "I have a bad premonition..." Nashan said in surprise: "Boss, what makes you uneasy? Why don't I feel it." I also feel a little weird, I feel a little uneasy in my heart, but I can't say why." Everyone felt very strange, and there was no change in the surroundings. Lang Qianye asked: "Boss, uncle, shall we go together?" Li Qiang shook his head and said: "No, let's go first, I feel that something important is about to happen." Something went wrong, and although he couldn't tell what it was, he couldn't lie to himself with this strong feeling.

Li Qiang greeted: "Hongqian, Mr. Naughty, let's go first. Qianye, you should be careful on the road. The current situation is very strange. Everyone should hurry up." After speaking, he walked outside quickly.Lang Qianye hurriedly followed, although he didn't understand why, Li Qiang's words were beyond doubt.A group of people came to the gate of the wooden building, and guards led the black-tipped cavalry. Li Qiang flew up without saying a word. Hongqian and others didn't know why, so they followed Li Qiang on the black-tipped cavalry. Before Lang Qianye said goodbye, Li Qiang has already urged the black sharp horse to rush into the heavy rain. Running wildly all the way, Li Qiang didn't say a word, just kept his head motivating the black-tipped cavalry, Hongqian and others didn't dare to ask, but followed closely behind.The naughty man wanted to lead the way several times, but found that Li Qiang did not go wrong. He was really surprised. Li Qiang firmly locked on a point in his thoughts, what he had to do was to shorten the distance to this point, concentrate his mind completely on it, and exclude all other disturbances.Hongqian, Paben, and Nashan were better off, but Naughty Gong, Bitong, and Bishi were in dire straits. The long-time galloping made the three of them feel overwhelmed. Hongqian shouted: "Uncle Master, let's take a break!" Li Qiang turned his head to look, and saw that the three of you were drenched and shivering in the wind and rain. Where can I take shelter from the rain?" The three of you, Naughty and Cold, were suffering from hunger and cold, and couldn't take it any longer. He wiped the rainwater from his face and said loudly, "Boss, take another step, and the Zhigai Mountain Pass is ahead." Li Qiang was actually very anxious in his heart, this was the first time he felt so uneasy, he was eager to understand what happened in front of him, so he said: "Okay! Let's speed up!" The seven people vigorously urged the black pointed cavalry, and ran away all the way. The sky gradually darkened, and the huge mountain shadow of Zhigai Pass came into view.The naughty man almost couldn't sit still on the black tipped horse, his whole body was sore and weak. When he saw the Zhigai mountain pass, he shouted loudly: "We are just ahead, there is a small town where we can rest." Bi Tong also said: " I can't believe that we have run such a long distance in such a short period of time, and the black pointed rider is exhausted." The dark roof was faintly visible in front of him, but there was no light.The stubborn man rushed into the town first, followed by the other six.The naughty man said loudly: "I know an inn, everyone follow me!" His voice and the hoofbeats of Hei Jianqi echoed on the street, and Li Qiang asked strangely: "Why is there no one in this small town?" Na Shandong looked around and said, "Boss, I really didn't see it, damn it, it's lifeless, I can't hear anything." The naughty man stopped at the door of an inn and shouted: "Dude! We have guests!" There was silence all around, except for the sound of the rain and the impatient roar of the black-tipped cavalry, the feeling here was the same as in the wilderness .Nashan yelled: "Yeah! Is anyone there?" Li Qiang said, "No! Hongqian go in and have a look!" Hongqian didn't knock on the door, and flew directly from the black-tipped ride, and floated into the inn. Bishi was the youngest and the least powerful. He kept trembling all over and whispered, "It's so cold, why is there no one?" He looked around and saw that Li Qiang and the others were sitting firmly on the black-tipped horse. , his expression remained unchanged, as if he had already melted into this darkness.He looked at the stubborn man again, and saw that he, like himself, kept looking around, with an extremely nervous expression. The heavy rain suddenly stopped without warning, and a gust of cold wind blew by. Nashan cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, it's so cloudy!" "Crunch—" The door of the inn was opened, Hongqian came out from inside, and said: "Uncle, everyone inside is still asleep, it looks like they have been lost by something, come in first." Li Qiang jumped off the black tip Riding, said: "Let's go in, don't worry about what is haunting, the naughty guys are too tired, let them have a rest first." Before he finished speaking, the little siren suddenly flew up from his waist and stood on his shoulder On the ground, the little head shook and glanced around, whispering "cuckoo". Paben wondered: "The little siren seems to have found something." Li Qiang said: "Leave it alone, Paben, you help the stubborn man down, and Nashan, you lead the black-tipped horse into the yard." He turned around and supported Bi Brothers Tong and Bishi helped them down.The three Naughty Gongs were numb all over, and they stood for a long time after getting off the ground before they regained their strength.Li Qiang said: "Your physique is too poor. I will give you a panacea at night to restore your health." The three of you could not help but be overjoyed. They immediately felt that their hard work was not in vain, and hurriedly thanked them. Li Qiang walked into the inn, followed closely by Hongqian.The scene in the room was astonishing. Four men who looked like clerks were lying at the foot of the wall, another person was lying behind the counter, and several businessmen were scattered on the ground.Li Qiang walked up to a clerk, put his hand under his nose to try it out, and said suspiciously: "It's strange, it seems that he is not breathing." Hongqian said: "There is still a heartbeat, I don't know why it is like this." As soon as the stubborn man entered the room, he immediately wanted to lie down, and his bones seemed to be splitting.Bi Shi was so tired that he just wanted to sleep, so he climbed onto the counter and lay down, stretched his waist vigorously, Li Qiang suddenly shouted: "Don't sleep! Get up!" Everyone was startled by his shout, Bi Shi turned over and fell off the counter , has been unknown. Bi Tong turned pale in shock and shouted: "What's going on? Brother! Don't sleep! Get up!" Li Qiang strode over to Bi Shi's side, lifted him up, and found that he had the same symptom as all the lying people: breathing stopped , only a slow heartbeat.Bi Tong was about to go crazy, hugged Bi Shi, and shouted: "Brother...you..." His body went limp, and he also collapsed on the ground. Immediately afterwards, the stubborn man also fell to the ground.Nashan shook his bald head vigorously, and said in a strange voice: "Huh? I'm dizzy." He grabbed Paben and shouted: "No! Let's get lucky." Paben also felt bad, hearing the words Sit down immediately, and the two of them worked hard at the same time, only then did they resist the inexplicable drowsiness. Li Qiang knew something was wrong, so he immediately sat down cross-legged, and said, "Hongqian, protect me!" He sank his mind into Yuanying, and his consciousness immediately came out of his body.Hongqian flew out the twin swords of shattered gold in the sky, wrapping everyone in it. Although he didn't feel sleepy, he felt a little scared in his heart, and he didn't know what was causing the trouble. This was the third time Li Qiang's consciousness came out of his body. When he saw Hongqian's swords coming out together, he felt a little relieved, and began to carefully observe the surrounding situation.He found that the room was covered with slender black threads, which were faintly visible and floating. If he hadn't come out of his body and used his divine sense to look at it, he would have been impossible to find it.He noticed that as long as the black silk flew close to Hongqian's flying sword, it would be wiped out immediately. He looked carefully at the people lying on the ground, they were all covered with black silk, and there were more and more of them. Under the protection of Hongqian's sword light, there are only a few traces left. After looking at more than a dozen rooms in a row, I found this weird filament.After all, Li Qiang didn't know much about it, so he didn't know that this was the most famous and vicious soul-absorbing thread. Although it was difficult for cultivators to have an effect on it, ordinary people couldn't resist it.Li Qiang's consciousness quickly flew over the small town, and found such situations everywhere.Li Qiang didn't dare to stay outside for a long time, his consciousness suddenly retracted into his body, and he opened his eyes. Hongqian asked: "Uncle Master, what is causing the trouble?" Li Qiang said: "Do you know that there is a very fine black silk thread, which is invisible to the eyes, but I can only see it with my spiritual sense. It seems that people only need to touch it. Well, it won’t work, it’s really strange.” Hongqian thought about it nervously, and after a while, he said, “I don’t know what it is either. This won’t work, we’re just trapped here.” Li Qiang already knew that the flying sword could remove the black silk, so he immediately flew out the star-absorbing sword.Now his technique of controlling the flying sword is quite precise, the silver sword light rolled over the bodies of the three stubborn men, and at the same time the sword light suddenly grew bigger, and the room was filled with silver light.Hongqian asked puzzledly: "Uncle Master, what is this for?" Li Qiang didn't answer, and swept the room with the flying sword three times in a row. As soon as the light is stirred, it will disperse, and this room should have been emptied." While talking, the stubborn man turned over and snored loudly, Bishi and Bitong also breathed heavily.Hongqian said in surprise: "Hehe, they woke up, but they were too tired and fell asleep again." Nashan and Paben stood up, and Nashan asked, "Boss, have you found out who is responsible?" Suddenly, the little siren screamed, and with a flash of blue light, it flew into the yard.Li Qiang dodged to follow, came to the yard, saw the little sea monster emitting crystal blue light, under the light of the blue light, countless faint souls floated into the air, and the wind was bleak for a while.Li Qiang hurriedly beckoned the little sea monster, he couldn't help being furious, and said, "Hongqian, you protect them here, I'll go and see, which bastard is collecting souls." Li Qiang raised his hands and put on the Lanyun battle armor and the sun-displaying ring, and flew into the air without making a sound.The dim night couldn't stop his gaze at all, and he saw countless souls floating out of the town, and he searched in the direction of the souls. There is a forest outside the small town, those souls slowly gather together and float down the forest.Li Qiang followed into the forest, and quickly walked around the intertwined trees. He heard faint grunts, as if someone was chanting some spells.There is no breath of life in the forest, only the monotonous "squeak" sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, and the sound of water dripping from the tree "da da", which is so quiet that it makes people feel uneasy.Li Qiang knew in his heart that the souls of all life in the town were entangled by those strange black threads, and then were sucked here again. A gleam of miserable green light emerged from the depths of the dense forest, and Li Qiang was shocked, knowing that his opponent was about to arrive.He lowered his figure from the waist of the tree, about half a meter close to the ground, and leaned over in the air. Suddenly, Li Qiang's mind was moved, and his figure jumped down quickly, and two arrows with green light flew past his head.Before the opponent could send out the second arrow, Li Qiang sprayed out the star-absorbing sword, and the starlight flashed violently, and in an instant, he saw the two ambushers.Li Qiang knew that his whereabouts had been exposed, so he changed to force his way in, and the star-absorbing sword light swept across like a halo, the two ambushers couldn't resist at all, and immediately shattered into several pieces, spilling a piece of blood, and the thick hugging people around them Big trees were also cut down. "Crackling...boom...crack!" The big tree broke and collapsed, and Li Qiang rushed out screaming. At the same time, there was a loud roar from the other side of the forest.There was a huge open space in the forest, and there were strange flags flying all around. Li Qiang was a little startled when he saw it at first sight. He knew the strength of the Banner Formation, but he couldn't tell the mystery of this formation for a while.He raised his hand and pointed, and the star-absorbing sword turned into a silver dragon, and slammed into it fiercely. He wanted to test the name of this banner formation. On the other side of the banner formation, thunderbolts were heard again and again, illuminating the open space brightly. It is unknown who is also attacking the banner formation. A blood-colored thick fog poured out of the banner formation, and the star-absorbing sword suddenly exploded.Li Qiang shot out a skyfire purple flower, and the star-absorbing sword suddenly shrank, spinning around Li Qiang rapidly.That sky fire is really powerful, as soon as the thick blood mist touches it, the sound is like a glass of cold water being poured on the charcoal fire, and the blood mist dissipates immediately with the sound of "puchi".Li Qiang found that Tianhuo was really easy to use, and four or five purple flowers of Tianhuo flew out at the flick of his fingers. He surrounded himself with Tianhuo, swayed his body and broke into the flag gate forcefully. As soon as he entered the battle, he felt his eyes dim, and countless sharp needles flew towards him. Li Qiang yelled strangely: "What the hell? Break!" , following his shout, a bright rainbow flew out from his palm.The star-absorbing sword, the sky fire purple flower, and the eighteen demon-killing hands are played at the same time, especially the eighteen demon-killing hands, which are the nemesis of this kind of vicious banner formation. The explosion was earth-shattering.The Banner Array couldn't cope with such a violent impact at all, and it suddenly became scattered, and the flags flying in the air were in chaos.Before the master of the formation restarted the layout, the skyfire also began to exert its power. The black striped flag closest to Li Qiang was touched by the skyfire, and it was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.As long as one flag is broken in the flag formation, the power of the entire formation will be weakened immediately. Before Li Qiang could attack again, there was a loud bang, and a huge chill spread out.Li Qiang felt that the flag gate formation had been completely broken.I saw an altar more than three meters high on the open space. The altar was triangular in shape, with a black pillar on each corner. On the circular table in the center of the altar, there was a black staff inserted into it. At the top of the head is a ferocious skull with red lights shining in its eyes. Three guys in black robes were floating beside the skull, reciting spells with their eyes closed.Li Qiang clearly saw that the soul floating in the air was swallowed by the skull on the weird staff, and the skull seemed to be still smiling horribly. Surprised, Li Qiang couldn't help being furious.
