The further he walked towards the west mountain, the more frightened Du Heng became. Before, he could use his spiritual sense to observe the battle situation beside the barrier, but when his spiritual sense was wrapped in spiritual energy, it was like watching TV. Although he had the feeling of being there, it was not as direct as what he saw with his own eyes.
The water of the Stone River at the foot of the West Mountain had been dyed black and red by blood. Some monsters had discovered that there was no barrier near the Pei Bamboo Forest and were heading towards it. The sound of the Pei Bamboos exploding could be heard, and before they reached Jing Nan's house, they could hear continuous exploding sounds.
Jing Nan was groggy, and Du Heng had to bend down to let him lie on his back. He had to look back at Xiao Xiao while running, and he was anxious when he couldn't see the golden light behind him.
In a moment of urgency, Du Heng suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Xiaoxiao! Shout every few steps to let me know you are following me!"
Xiaoxiao started chirping after hearing that. Du Heng felt relieved when he heard those tender chirps. The most important person to him was by his side, so he had to remain extremely alert.
Soon Du Heng entered the Pei Bamboo Forest. Usually, the explosion sound came from inside the bamboo forest, but today, the explosion sound came from outside the bamboo forest. The bamboo fragrance was mixed with the strong smell of blood. Listening to the wailing of the monsters, Du Heng felt that his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.
He regretted that he should have brought a lamp with him. The spiritual energy in the bamboo forest was mixed with the miasma from the monsters, which could corrode the spiritual energy. He felt a dull pain when he released his spiritual consciousness.
He had never walked the road ahead, and the sound of the wind and the roar of the beasts seemed to be echoing in his ears. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao's voice encouraged him, and Du Heng followed Xiao Wonton's footsteps without daring to look back.
Pei Bamboo Forest is quite large. Du Heng found that what he saw was just a small part of it after he went deeper. The paths in the forest are interconnected. If you take the wrong path, you may end up in the mouth of a monster. At the critical moment, the only person Du Heng can trust is Xiao Wonton. Xiao Wonton had followed Xuan Yu to the back mountain several times before, and Du Heng thought it should know the way up the mountain.
Wonton was indeed dedicated and responsible. In the past, when he saw a monster, he would rush up to fight it to the death. Today, Wonton kept running ten feet in front of Du Heng. When he saw Du Heng falling behind, he stopped and waited for Du Heng.
Not sure if it was because Du Heng was exhausted or Jing Nan was getting heavier, Du Heng felt like he was being pressed down by a mountain instead of a person. Du Heng felt his back was hot and heavy, and when he turned around, he saw a golden flame mark on Jing Nan's forehead.
Jing Nan's hand was on Du Heng's shoulder, and the fingers exposed from the robe were originally long and beautiful. However, as the golden mark deepened, Jing Nan's fingernails began to lengthen, and a closer look revealed that fine hairs had grown on the smooth skin.
There was blood at the corners of Jing Nan's mouth, and Du Heng's shoulders were already stained red with blood, but because of his nervousness, Du Heng was unaware of it!
Du Heng panicked. He didn't dare to leave Jing Nan in the dangerous bamboo forest. He could only climb up the mountain desperately: "Jing Nan, Jing Nan, hold on! Jing Nan! Nan Nan!"
When Jing Nan heard the word "Nan Nan", his body shook. He said something intermittently, but his voice was too low and Du Heng only heard the two words "don't go".
Du Heng was extremely anxious, and then Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly stopped. Du Heng thought Xiaoxiao had an accident, and when he looked back, he saw Xiaoxiao wheezing with her mouth open.
Seeing Du Heng looking at him, Xiaoxiao coughed aggrievedly. He stretched his neck and coughed out a beetle as big as a finger.
Du Heng: ...It was so embarrassing. I ran and shouted.
Du Heng thought of another idea: "Xiaoxiao, run ahead of me and follow Xiao Wonton, so that I can see you."
Xiaoxiao nodded, and he jumped and ran behind Xiaowonton like a golden lantern. Du Heng couldn't help but think of the first time he saw Xiaoxiao, it was also in the dark, and Xiaoxiao jumped like a lantern. Du Heng's whole world was lit up!
He wanted to slap himself. Was he out of his mind? Why did he let Xiaoxiao shout behind him? Could he run faster than Xiaoxiao?
Du Heng had never felt so exhausted before. The spiritual energy in his Dantian was vibrating again. Originally, when the spiritual energy was vibrating, he should stop and practice the exercises, which would further squeeze his spiritual energy until it formed a pill. But he didn't have the conditions to do so now. He felt like there was a hole in his body, and the spiritual energy was continuously sucked away by Jing Nan on his back.
Jing Nan transformed into a huge vortex of spiritual energy, and even the spiritual energy of Peizhu Forest was sucked away by Jing Nan. However, the spiritual energy released by Jing Nan was even more overbearing. The spiritual energy released by the gentle Jing Nan washed Du Heng's body ten times and a hundred times more. Du Heng felt that his body was infected by Jing Nan's spiritual energy.
The pure earth and wood spirit in his body was mixed with a large amount of fire spirit and water spirit. These spirits mixed with his liquid spirit and rolled into his dantian. With every step, Du Heng felt that his dantian was about to be torn apart and was in great pain.
Jing Nan was hot and heavy, he was unconscious and just clung to Du Heng. Du Heng listened to Jing Nan whispering "Don't go" in a low voice, and the pain in his heart overshadowed the pain in his body.
He responded to Jing Nan: "No, I won't leave. Don't worry."
The road to Beishan is not easy to walk on, it is narrow and steep, and there are gaps between some steps, which are a full zhang apart, and you need to jump up to jump over. Du Heng didn't know how many times he took a deep breath, the pain in his dantian had become numb, the sound of Peizhu's explosion was getting closer and closer, and Du Heng felt that his vision was blurred.
The battle next to the barrier was still going on, and the roars of the monsters and the angry curses of Lao Dao Zhonghua could be heard faintly. How could two people resist these millions of monsters? Du Heng could only pray that the two had high cultivation levels and could hold out for a while longer.
Gradually, the vegetation along the mountain path became less and less. Under the silver moonlight, Du Heng saw a ball of light appearing on the top of the mountain! He had already climbed to the top of the mountain without knowing when. He turned around and saw a layer of leaden clouds covering the sky above the village. The spiritual light of the barrier under the leaden clouds flashed from time to time.
They were very close to the top of the mountain, but the bamboo forest that could protect them had already ended. The last clump of bamboo stood tall and graceful beside the mountain path at their feet. It bent all the bamboos diligently, and then, in Du Heng's horrified eyes, it suddenly swung the bamboos towards the approaching army of monsters.
The first few monsters that caught up were beaten by Pei Zhu and rolled down the mountain with their skins and flesh torn apart, but more monsters climbed up.
Du Heng's pupils shrank. They were chasing Jing Nan!
In the eyes of the monsters, Jing Nan is now like a fruit with sweet juice flowing, luring the monsters to come madly. If Jing Nan is caught by the monsters, his life will be over!
Thinking of this, Du Heng felt a surge of strength from nowhere. It's not that he didn't have spiritual energy, he just felt that the spiritual energy was not to his liking and his body was picky. Now he couldn't care about anything else. He didn't care whether the spiritual energy in his dantian was pure or not. He used the spiritual energy to gather directly on his feet.
His speed suddenly increased, and in an instant he surpassed Xiaoxiao in front of him. The moment he surpassed Xiaoxiao, Du Heng stretched out his foot and hooked Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao felt a force carrying him to fly towards Du Heng's back.
Du Heng said to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, hold on tight! Xiao Wonton, let's go!" Xiaoxiao suddenly grabbed Jingnan's hair: "Chiu Chiu!"
Jing Nan, who was in a coma, vomited a mouthful of blood: ...
Human potential is unlimited. If Du Heng saw a monster normally, his legs would be so weak that he couldn't move. But now, with Jing Nan and Xiao Xiao on his back, Du Heng could even compete with the monster in speed!
There was a 獲 behind him, and it was about to rush behind Du Heng. At this time, Xiao Wonton suddenly turned around and pounced on the 獲 fiercely.
Du Heng only saw Wonton quickly turn around and turn into a stream of light and rush past him. He was shocked: "Wonton!"
He looked back and saw Wonton and the 犼 rolling into a ball and heading down the mountain. Du Heng paused for a moment, and then he heard Xuan Yu's voice: "Go to the Saint Temple, don't stop!"
Thanks to Xiao Wonton's desperate leap, Du Heng bought enough time to climb the mountain. When Du Heng felt he was about to die from running, he finally saw the gate of the Sage Temple.
There were two dark blue stone pillars in front of the Saint Temple, with giant dragons carved on them. When Du Heng stepped into the territory behind the stone pillars, a golden barrier rose from the stone pillars.
Du Heng only felt a strong spiritual energy spreading out, and the monsters that had not yet climbed to the top of the mountain were all swept away by this spiritual energy. They rolled down from the top of the mountain like a ball, and Du Heng was trembling all over. He could no longer carry Jing Nan on his back.
Du Heng protected Jing Nan's head and carefully placed him on the ground. Jing Nan regained consciousness a little: "Go... inside... help me up..."
Du Heng was worried about Xiao Wonton, but he also knew that he had to listen to Jing Nan at this time. He turned his head and looked at the path, only to see another monster crawling up the path. Thinking of Xiao Wonton, Du Heng's eyes were red. But looking at Jing Nan and Xiao Xiao, Du Heng gritted his teeth and helped Jing Nan up: "Can you stand up?"
Jing Nan's breathing was as heavy as an ox, and half of his body was resting on Du Heng: "The last time I gave birth to my tail, it was in the Saint Temple. I didn't expect... it would be here this time."
After passing the stone pillar, you can see a majestic black gate. The gate is three meters high. Du Heng feels like an ant standing in front of the gate. The door is closed, but when Jing Nan and the others walked towards the gate step by step, the door opened.
There was a deep creaking sound, and the spiritual light from the door fell between Du Heng and Jing Nan. When the door was fully opened, Jing Nan looked back in the direction of the stone pillar and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Wonton will be fine. Let's go in and wait for him first."
Jing Nan felt extremely painful every time he took a step. When he crossed the threshold, Jing Nan couldn't hold it back and spurted out a mouthful of blood. This mouthful of blood scared Du Heng so much that his soul flew away: "Jing Nan!!"
Jing Nan covered his mouth and coughed, bright red blood dripping down through his fingers. When his coughing stopped, he pointed to the threshold and said, "Go inside, to the innermost part."
Opposite the threshold is a huge octagonal square. Sixty-four tablets stand on the edge, with stars engraved on them, which look like star maps. The most amazing thing is the ground of the square, which is like a mirror reflecting the sky. The stars in the sky seem to have fallen to the ground, and you can see rotating nebulae on the ground.
If Du Heng saw this scene at any other time, he would be so shocked that he would be speechless, and then he would be amazed like a countryman entering the city. But now he was not in the mood to appreciate such a spectacle, he just wanted to take Jing Nan across the square to the majestic and solemn Saint Temple behind.
Just as Du Heng was pulling Jing Nan to cross the square, Jing Nan shook his head: "Don't go... inside... go outside..."
Du Heng quickly understood what Jing Nan meant. He meant not to go through the square. There might be some formation in the square that he couldn't handle. He looked around and saw a tall corridor next to the square. Xiao Xiao was already standing in the corridor on the left waiting for Du Heng. Du Heng half hugged and half embraced Jing Nan: "Jing Nan, can you still hold on?"
Jing Nan nodded tiredly, with dark circles under his eyes: "No problem... let's go..."
191
The corridor was not as clean as the square. There were many fish scales on it, but they were many times bigger than fish scales. Each scale looked bigger than a wash basin. It was hard to find any intact ones. They were all broken and tattered, like low-quality plastic products. They made a crackling sound when you walked on them, and you could crush them to pieces with one step.
The whole corridor was filled with this stuff, and I guess the powder piled up in the corridor was formed by the shattering of these things. In some places, there were so many fragments that Xiaoxiao formed a passage when he walked past them.
Jing Nan's panting became heavier, and Du Heng had to stop several times to let him rest. Fortunately, he brought a refrigerator with him, which contained water and food. Jing Nan drank some water, and he leaned on Du Heng as if exhausted.
It should be the middle of the night now. Usually at this time, Du Heng would have gone to bed. But today, not only did he not sleep, he was also running for his life with his family. Little Wonton hadn't come back yet. Du Heng thought it was in danger. Thinking of Little Wonton, Du Heng's eyes started to ache. But he couldn't cry. There were Lao Dao and Chong Hua fighting for their lives with the monsters down the mountain. What right did he have to cry?
Du Heng took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off Jing Nan's lips and neck. His long, smooth hair became messy. Du Heng also carefully combed it. Jing Nan squinted his eyes and felt Du Heng's movements: "Xiao Heng..."
Du Heng responded: "Yes, I'm here."
Jing Nan forced an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry for getting you involved in...such a bad thing." As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Nan frowned, tilted his head, and a mouthful of blood flowed down the corner of his lips again.
Du Heng kept telling himself that he had no right to cry, but when he saw Jing Nan's blood, his tears suddenly fell. Afraid that Jing Nan and Xiao Xiao would feel sad when they saw it, he quickly lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeves: "It's nothing, it's not you who should say sorry, it's those monsters."
Jing Nan's smile became brighter: "Well... blame those monsters, it's all their fault... Originally, our family could have lived happily..."
Du Heng wiped the blood from the corner of Jing Nan's lips: "We can live happily in the future. We are a big family. We have you, Xiaoyu, Fenggui and Xiaoxiao. And Xiaowonton and Xiaoe. I will make a lot of delicious dishes for you. You can plant a lot of spiritual plants, and Fenggui doesn't have to run outside so often..."
Jing Nan imagined that scene, and his expression became lighter: "That's great..."
Jing Nan squinted for a while and then regained some energy. His hands had turned into fox paws. He stretched out his paws to Du Heng and said, "Help me up. Let's continue walking inside."
Du Heng was sore all over now, and his spiritual energy was shaking violently. He used all his strength to help Jing Nan up. Jing Nan apologized again: "I'm sorry... I'm heavy, right?"
Du Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you talking about? It's all my fault that I don't have the strength. If I were like Xiaoyu, we would have been in the temple a long time ago, and you wouldn't have to suffer so much."
Jing Nan sighed: "This is the weight that time has given me. I can't control it anymore. Don't go into the temple, go directly to the back of the temple. There is a small courtyard behind it with a room. Let's go there."
The place Jing Nan mentioned was behind the Saint Temple. After walking through three connected buildings, Du Heng found a small door on the wall behind the temple. When Du Heng walked near the small door, it opened automatically.
Xiaoxiao jumped into the small door first, and Du Heng helped Jingnan in. As soon as he entered the door, Du Heng was stunned.
In his imagination, the small room behind the temple should be like a wing room. He never dreamed that a thatched house with lights on would appear before his eyes!
This scene seemed to have been seen somewhere before. Du Heng thought about it carefully and soon he remembered. On New Year's Eve, Feng Gui's puppet performed a show for everyone, and one of the scenes was this thatched house. In the thatched house, there was a chicken and a fox dog waiting for their master to come back, and then the master brought back a little snake...
Du Heng suddenly came back to his senses, so... the chicken is Feng Gui, the little fox is Jing Nan, the little snake is Xuan Yu! And that man is Qing Heng. So after the saint died, his three beads would be obtained by his three pets!
Jing Nan's body fell forward: "I... am back..."
Du Heng used all his strength to support Jing Nan. Jing Nan's voice was full of satisfaction and expectation, and a smile appeared on his face.
Du Heng could not help but stare in amazement. The significance of the Saint Temple to Jing Nan and the others was definitely not as simple as commemorating the Saint Qing Heng. This was their former home! For some reason, Du Heng's eyes were filled with tears. Seeing the dilapidated thatched cottage, Du Heng also felt like he was home.
There was only a bed and a square table in the thatched hut. The hut looked dilapidated, but the interior must have been repaired countless times. Although the bed was simple in style, even with a heavy person like Jing Nan lying on it, the bed did not shake at all.
Du Heng put the bedding and sheets he brought from home on the bed. He let Jing Nan lie on the bed and covered him with a quilt.
The oil lamp on the table was gleaming with a dim light. Xiaoxiao sat on the long bench next to the table. He was exhausted. A beetle had flown into his throat before, and his throat still hurt.
And he was hungry. He had only eaten two bowls of cold noodles during the day because he was worried about the monsters attacking the village. He had walked so far without having dinner. Now that he was safe, Xiaoxiao's stomach began to growl. His monster pill began to stir, and the heat wave swept over Xiaoxiao's body again. He wanted to eat a popsicle.
Du Heng heard Xiaoxiao's stomach growling. After wiping Jingnan's face and hands, he also wiped Xiaoxiao's face: "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
Xiaoxiao thought for a while: “Chirp, chirp…” He wanted to eat something cool and sweet.
Du Heng said, "Eating popsicles late at night is not good for your stomach. How about I serve you some Tremella soup? And some refreshing mung bean cake, okay?"
Xiaoxiao nodded, and soon a large bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup appeared in front of him, with a plate of green bean cakes in the shape of a flower in front of it. Xiaoxiao dove into the bowl and began to drink the soup. Du Heng had no appetite at all. He thought of Lao Dao and Chonghua who were fighting at the foot of the mountain, of Xiao Wonton whose life and death were uncertain, and of Xuan Yu and Feng Gui who were nowhere to be found.
The cool Tremella soup reflected Du Heng's blurry face. Suddenly, two tears fell into the soup bowl. Du Heng wiped his tears. He really couldn't eat. He wanted to go to the temple to take a look. What if Xiao Wonton came back? What if Chonghua and the others also went up the mountain?
Thinking of this, Du Heng put the soup bowl on the table. He touched Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm going to go to the entrance of the Saint Temple. Can you help me take good care of Jingnan?"
Xiaoxiao also put down the soup bowl, and sucked a white fungus hanging next to his mouth into his mouth: "Chirp."
Just when Du Heng was about to go out, Jing Nan on the bed screamed in pain: "Ah!!!" Jing Nan's scream was so miserable that the sound did not seem like something a human could make.
Du Heng looked back and saw Jing Nan half-kneeling on the bed, his head against the pillow, his long hair like flowing clouds cascading down from the bed like a waterfall. His hair was still growing, but Jing Nan's appearance had changed.
The clothes on his body disappeared, and white hair grew on his smooth back. Du Heng watched Jing Nan transform from a human to a half-human, half-fox.
Jing Nan was in extreme pain, he held the bed sheet with both hands, and heard the bed sheet tearing. Jing Nan's blood dripped onto the bed sheet, and the white bed sheet looked like a red flower blooming.
Jing Nan sobbed and shook his head in pain: "I can't get out, I can't get out!" His face still maintained a human face, but a pair of white fox ears emerged from the top of his head.
The blanket covering Jing Nan was thrown to the ground by the wildly dancing tails. Du Heng saw something in the middle of Jing Nan's six tails, hitting his skin wildly on his spine. That should be the seventh tail that made Jing Nan so miserable, right?
Jing Nan's eyes were filled with tears. He gritted his teeth and shouted heartbreakingly. His voice was hoarse as if crying blood: "Qing Heng - why don't you take me away! I'm in so much pain!!"
Du Heng's tears rolled down. Jing Nan clearly called Qing Heng instead of him, Du Heng, but Du Heng's heart felt like it was cut by a knife. He could not help but rush to the bed and hugged Jing Nan's head.
Jing Nan's tears soaked Du Heng's clothes. Du Heng spoke incoherently: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm with you, I'm here! Nan Nan, Nan Nan, come on."
Jing Nan cried out: "It hurts so much, I can't hold on any longer. Take me away, take me away!"
Du Heng could only hug Jing Nan tightly. He imitated Xuan Yu and injected spiritual energy into Jing Nan's body. As long as there was a trace of spiritual energy in his dantian, he would transfer it all to Jing Nan.
Jing Nan's body had turned into a fox, and fox fur was growing on his face bit by bit. He leaned in Du Heng's arms, and his pair of gilded eyes looked at Du Heng quietly with tears in their eyes.
Du Heng was in extreme pain, and he couldn't stop crying. Drops of tears fell on Jing Nan's face. Jing Nan gasped for air, and blood foam spurted out of his mouth. After a long time, the mist in Jing Nan's eyes faded a little, and he said weakly: "Don't cry."
He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Du Heng's face, but seeing that his hand had become a fox's paw, Jing Nan retracted his hand: "Don't cry, our good days have just begun. You still have to make a lot of delicious food for me, salted duck lotus leaf chicken, old goose soup stewed pigeon... They are all delicious. I have never eaten them before. You have to make it up to me this time."
Du Heng cried and nodded. He hugged Jing Nan's head and said, "How can I help you? Nan Nan, tell me, how can I help you?"
Du Heng heard Jing Nan sigh, with a hint of joy in his voice: "You are by my side, and that is the greatest help."
A gentle aura emanated from Jing Nan's body. Jing Nan hugged Du Heng's waist and he let out a terrible cry from his throat: "Ah——"
As Jing Nan howled, a curl of silver-white hair appeared on his spine. This was the seventh tail that had tortured Jing Nan for several months. Just thinking about the pain of this tail being pulled out from Jing Nan's spine made Du Heng's hair stand on end. After the tail was pulled out of Jing Nan's body, it quickly unfolded and then grew to the same length as the other tails in one go.
It's done! Jing Nan's seventh tail has grown!
Jing Nan was sweating all over. He collapsed on the bed as if exhausted. The hair on his face and body was falling off quickly. The hair was pouring out from the bed. Some of the hair flowed out of the house through the open doors and windows. Du Heng was drowned in the pure white hair of the nine-tailed beast. It was really a sea of hair!
It's grown out!!
Seeing the new tail, Du Heng smiled like a fool: "Jingnan, Jingnan, look! It's grown!" While shouting, Du Heng's tears welled up again. It was too difficult. It was too difficult for Jingnan to grow a tail.
Jing Nan gently rested his head on Du Heng's legs with a smile on his face. He had never been so quiet before. The seven tails behind him swayed softly, gorgeous and dazzling. The new tail wrapped around Du Heng's arm and shook it as if showing off.
Du Heng looked at the long white tail with tears in his eyes. He reached out and touched the tail. The new tail was soft and comfortable, and it turned mischievously in Du Heng's palm.
Jing Nan said lightly: "I promised to show you the seventh tail, and I did it. The duck that promised me cannot forget..."
Du Heng burst into laughter: "I won't forget!" Hearing this, Jing Nan fell into a deep sleep. He was too tired, and now that his tail had grown out, he wanted to sleep for three days and three nights!
192
Du Heng settled Jing Nan and squeezed out of the sea of fur. It was a success. All he had to do was let Jing Nan sleep peacefully and not let anyone disturb him.
However, the crisis was not resolved, and the situation in the village was still unknown. Du Heng always had to go to the temple to take a look, just in case he was needed.
Du Heng didn't know how Xuan Yu and his friends managed to keep the house they lived in when they were little. Not only did they keep the house, they also kept the big tree behind the house and the small path that branched out in front of the door.
Standing in front of the door, Du Heng always felt a little dazed. He felt that he had been here before and had seen it before. For example, if you walk eastward along the horizontal path at the door, you can see a fruit forest, and after the orchard, there is a stream. If you walk westward, you will reach the deep mountains.
The path to the south leads to the outside world. Du Heng was now walking along the path towards the Sage Temple. The moonlight was gently shining on the ground, and he could even hear the sound of insects and footsteps.
Footsteps? Du Heng looked back and saw Xiaoxiao following him.
Du Heng picked up Xiao Xiao helplessly: "Aren't you tired? Why don't you go to sleep for a while?" Xiao Xiao stretched out her little wings and hugged Du Heng's neck: "Chirp."
He didn't want to sleep, he wanted to be with Du Heng. Even though his feet were sore and his eyes were tired, he wanted to follow Du Heng. He promised his elders at home that he would protect him well, and he had to keep his promise.
Du Heng had no choice but to hold Xiaoxiao in his arms and walk along the corridor to the entrance of the Saint Temple. It was a long road, and because there were many broken scale-like things in the corridor, they could not walk fast.
The moon was bright tonight, and there were not many stars in the sky. The starry sky spinning on the ground in the square was so bright that it was hard to look away. Du Heng had no intention of appreciating it, and soon he stood behind the two pillars of the Saint Temple.
Xiao Wonton didn't come back, but there were quite a few monsters on the hillside trying their best to climb up. Under the moonlight, there was still a flash of light in the direction of the village, but now the shouting and cursing of Lao Dao and Chonghua could no longer be heard. Du Heng didn't know what was going on with them now.
When the monster in the front was about to touch the pillar, a dazzling spiritual light flashed from the barrier on the pillar. The spiritual light swept down the hillside from above, and the monsters that touched the spiritual light instantly had their flesh and blood flying everywhere. Some of the monsters that were lucky enough not to die rolled down the hillside.
Du Heng looked at the narrow mountain path, the winding path leading to the village at the foot of the mountain. Xiao Wonton did not appear, and Du Heng's heart sank a little bit. He thought that he might have lost Xiao Wonton.
Under the moonlight, a cloud of black smoke rose into the sky from the leaden clouds covering the village. Du Heng's consciousness could not see it clearly. He saw that the clouds in the direction of his home were tinged with red, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his house was on fire?
He had packed up the house before leaving, so why did it catch fire? Could it be that a monster broke through the barrier and knocked over the oven?
Feng Gui said that once the spiritual fire in his oven was overturned, the area within a radius of ten miles would be scorched earth. Du Heng felt as if his heart was broken. His home was gone. His and Xuan Yu's home was on fire!
Xiaoxiao looked up at Du Heng with concern. Du Heng had tears in his eyes. Hearing Xiaoxiao's concerned greeting, Du Heng came back to his senses. He comforted himself, "It's okay, Xuanyu is not at home."
After saying this, he began to worry about Lao Dao and Chong Hua again. The barrier was broken, are the two generals guarding the barrier okay?
At this time, there was a faint sound of dog barking on the mountain road. Du Heng recognized it immediately. It was Xiao Wonton's cry! Xiao Wonton was still alive!
Du Heng's gloomy heart suddenly brightened up. He didn't know how to describe the feeling. He clenched his fist happily: "Great!"
Du Heng jumped up excitedly: "Xiaoxiao! Wonton is still alive! He is still alive!"
Xiaoxiao's reaction was not as intense as Du Heng's. He nodded: "Chirp."
Du Heng's consciousness extended down along the path. He searched hard and finally, halfway up the mountain, he saw Xiao Wonton, covered in blood, limping up the mountain.
Wonton's right front paw seemed to be broken, and Du Heng saw it climbing up with its other three legs. Wonton had a hard time climbing up, as the broken front paw could not exert force, and Wonton hummed twice every time he walked.
Du Heng was overjoyed, and he wanted to rush out of the barrier right now to greet Xiao Wonton. But when he wanted to leave the barrier, Xiao Xiao used her wings to hit his face, as if to remind Du Heng not to put himself in danger.
Du Heng walked back and forth behind the pillar anxiously and nervously, his consciousness glued to the little wonton. Every time the wonton climbed up a step, Du Heng encouraged it in its ear.
Hearing Du Heng's voice, Wonton groaned even louder. Its furry tail was clotted into a bloody stick by the blood, and the weight made it impossible for the tail to curl behind it. Wonton was covered in dirt and looked very embarrassed. But Du Heng thought it was the best dog in the world. Without Wonton, Du Heng would not have been able to bring Jing Nan to the Saint Temple.
The bamboos on the roadside were also damaged. If the bamboos hit the monsters too many times, the powerful force would cause them to explode. Almost all the bamboos on the roadside exploded. With a sweep of the divine sense, one could see that the originally round green branches of the bamboos were blown into strips. The bamboo branches were covered with the flesh and blood of the monsters, and the green bamboos became bloodstained.
However, even in this state, the Peizhus were still gathering strength to whip the monsters passing by. However, the force of their blows was far less than that of the intact bamboos. Du Heng saw several monsters on the mountain road successfully evading the Peizhu's attacks, and they followed the path that Xiao Wonton had taken.
When Wonton reached the top of the unobstructed mountain, Du Heng's heart was in his throat. He stared closely at the bloody yellow spots on the mountain path. Behind Wonton, a tall mole was climbing up the stairs quickly.
The mole was a monster that was good at climbing, and it had four horns on its forehead. Du Heng saw the mole running upwards with its head lowered. He had lived in the village since he was a child, and he knew that this action meant an attack.
The target of the mole is wonton, which has become an obstacle in the eyes of the nimble mole. It wants to pierce the belly of wonton with its sharp horns, and it wants to hang this hateful dog on its horns and rush to the temple of the saints in one go!
Just as the earthworm was about to pierce the wonton, a green spiritual light slid down from above. The sharp sword light slashed horizontally, and the earthworm's two horns flew up. It turned back in fear to see what attacked it. But its body could not be controlled and fell down - its spine and lower ribs were split by the long sword, and blood mixed with internal organs splashed out.
Behind Tu Luo, Du Heng still held the sword in his hand. He rushed down several steps before he could steady himself. Tu Luo's blood splashed on Du Heng's face, and the warm and fishy smell hit him. Du Heng's face turned pale and he almost vomited!
Little Wonton whimpered and crawled to Du Heng's feet. Du Heng suddenly came to his senses. He had just saved Wonton! He looked up in the direction of the Saint Temple. He rushed at least two or three miles, right? How did he do it in such a short time?
His consciousness probed towards the position of Dantian, and the spiritual energy in Dantian was surging violently. The moment Jingnan grew a tail just now, he felt that his spiritual energy quickly returned. Was it this spiritual energy that supported him to save Wonton?
Du Heng came back to his senses and looked at Tu Luo who was lying beside him with his eyes open. He saw his own reflection in Tu Luo's eyes.
Du Heng looked at the long sword in his hand. The long sword was stained with blood, not only from Tu Luo but also from his own. Because he used too much force, the base of his right hand cracked. The pain brought Du Heng back to consciousness. Du Heng looked down and saw several more monsters coming up the path.

Du Heng didn't know what was happening to him. He felt like the world had slowed down. His heartbeat became stronger and stronger, and the circulation of his spiritual energy could not be stopped.
When Du Heng rushed to the Saint Temple, he could no longer suppress the spiritual energy in his body. His Dantian felt a stinging pain with an astonishing heat. His consciousness turned to Dantian and saw that the spiritual energy in Dantian was frantically gathering towards the center of Dantian. His body was unconsciously compressing the spiritual energy. He didn't know whether Jing Nan's spiritual energy just now stimulated him or what happened, but his spiritual energy changed color.
The more spiritual energy gathered, the brighter the color became. A faint golden light shone through the place where the spiritual energy converged in the center. Seeing the golden light, Du Heng's mind moved.
He thought that he was about to form a pill.
The sky above the Saint Temple is filled with calamity clouds.
