Chapter 70: Insect Killing Murong Xiao (two chapters with more than 8,000 words, I tried my best!)
Li Weiyi placed the sarcophagus and the Nine Emperor Banner on the ground. To be on the safe side, he took the Yellow Dragon Sword and walked step by step to the bottom of the spring.
The air in front was too thick, like a dense cloud, from which waterfalls of smoke were constantly emanating.
The stone platform inside cannot be seen with the naked eye.
“Chichi!”
A strange sound was heard.
From within the dense cloud of Dharma energy, there was a sound of wings fluttering, like that of a cicada or a moth, loud and piercing.
Li Weiyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he kicked his feet and floated back two meters away.
“Wow!”
The cloud of magic energy was dispersed by the wings, and a huge moth-like insect slowly crawled out of it. It was three feet long and radiated colorful glass light. Its six claws seemed to be forged from metal, and the claw hooks were extremely sharp.
There was a dangerous and fierce aura in its eyes. It crawled forward, its wings spread and trembled.
The outside is a colorful wing, and the inside is a thin membranous wing like an insect.
Senior Shijian said, "Not good! They hatched early. It should be because the Tianfa Diquan has become bigger. Use the insect spell quickly to subdue them."
"Which insect script to use?"
Li Weiyi sensed the danger and asked as he retreated.
Senior Shijian said, "Back then, I carved seven insect characters on seven insect eggs. Even if they have hatched, the insect characters will remain on them. But why can't I see the insect characters now?"
Senior Lingwei obviously had a deeper understanding of the world's strange insects. He said, "It's because their level is beyond our expectations. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Phoenix-winged Moth King, not the prince level, but the emperor level. The insect text you carved that year was hidden in its body."
"What? Emperor level?"
Master Guan's shocked voice rang out.
Senior Lingwei said: "Looking at its current size, it has grown to three feet, and is obviously no longer a larva. I estimate that its combat power will not be weaker than that of a martial artist in the Immortal Realm."
Hearing this, Li Weiyi felt dizzy and his calves began to cramp.
Is it here to collect worms or to feed them? Senior Shijian was extremely rational and quickly analyzed: "No! There is no food in the Tomb of King Cang, it is impossible for it to grow from a larva to the Immortal Realm. Moreover, if it really has the strength of the Immortal Realm, its wisdom must be extremely high, and it would have broken through the tomb and escaped long ago. The only thing is that it is bluffing!"
Li Weiyi could clearly feel the terrifying aura of the approaching Phoenix-winged Moth King. How could he bet that it was bluffing? Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said, "Perhaps, there is another good way!"
He immediately performed the Fusang Sacred Tree Meditation Method, and at the same time mobilized the spiritual light and flame in the spiritual world of Yin Tang, and activated the Taoist Tai Chi Fish.
The two bronze fish rotated in a circle, and the power of space burst out.
“Wow!”
A circle of tiny space ripples spread out, and the approaching Phoenix-winged Moth King was immediately pulled into the bloody mud on the Buddha's relics, unable to break free.
After a moment.
The voice of the spiritual elder came from the Buddha's relic: "It was indeed bluffing. It has returned to its true size. It is only one inch long and is a larva."
“Whoa!”
Out of the cloud of Dharma energy below the Tianfa Diquan flew six one-inch-long Phoenix-winged Moth Kings. They were only the size of moths, with colorful bodies that looked extremely gorgeous.
They flew at an extremely fast speed, like arrows, and attacked Li Weiyi together.
Without thinking twice, Li Weiyi immediately entered the microscopic world where the Buddha's relics were located and decided to subdue the first one first.
After experiencing intense weightlessness, Li Weiyi fell onto the bloody mud ground with only a few feet of space. Looking at the Phoenix-winged Moth King resting on the blue and white urn, he found that the insect's body had indeed become only about an inch in length.
Li Weiyi was relaxed and said with a smile: "It's just a larva, but it already has strong intelligence. I was almost scared by you."
“Wow!”
The first insect pattern condensed and flew out from between the eyebrows.
Recently, Li Weiyi has not given up practicing his telekinesis. The spiritual flame in the spiritual world of his forehead has grown twice as strong and is now the size of a bean.
The Phoenix-winged Moth King rushed up like an arrow shot from a bow, directly piercing through the insect pattern and shooting towards Li Weiyi's brow.
The first insect word is useless to it! Li Weiyi blocked it with his sword.
“Bang!”
There was a clanging sound like iron blocks colliding.
The force unleashed by its collision was even more terrifying than the long arrow shot by Murong Xiao. It shocked Li Weiyi so much that he retreated repeatedly and almost lost his grip on the Yellow Dragon Sword.
The sound of wings was heard.
It burst out at high speed, turned a corner, and hit Li Weiyi's heart.
Li Weiyi didn't dare to confront it head-on, and immediately dodged sideways. At the same time, the second insect pattern on his forehead was drawn and flew over.
As soon as the spiritual insect pattern flew out, it resonated with the insect pattern in the body of the Phoenix-winged Moth King.
Words flashed inside its body and its flying speed slowed down, as if it was suffering from some kind of suppression.
“Wow!”
The next moment, he was hit by the insect pattern and fell to the ground.
Li Weiyi looked at the place under his armpit that was scratched by its wings. The blood was very deep, almost touching the bone. He was not angry, but smiled while enduring the pain: "Its tiny body actually contains such terrible power. It's just a larva."
After a moment, I felt a little scared again.
Fortunately, the second insect text matched, otherwise it would be really dangerous today.
"Quickly use your blood to draw the second insect pattern. The text is the same. Only in this way can you truly subdue it, and it will only obey you from now on." The spiritual elder reminded.
With Li Weiyi's current mental strength, he can only stay on the Buddha's relics for a short time and will soon be pulled back to the original world space.
Time was precious, so he took out the Chongwen Needle, one of the six treasures he had bought long ago, and took action immediately.
Finally, he managed to carve the blood insect pattern on the belly of the Phoenix-winged Moth King just before the feeling of weightlessness appeared. Then, he immediately picked up the spirit tablet and the urn, and after experiencing the feeling of weightlessness, they returned to the underground space where the tomb of King Cang was located.
Li Weiyi knew very well that with his current level of cultivation, he could not be a match for the six Phoenix-winged Moth Kings.
There is only one way, that is to collect them all into the blood mud space in the microcosm first, and then subdue them one by one.
The reason why we took Senior Lingwei and Master Guan away was because we were worried that they would be attacked by the Phoenix-winged Moth King.
At this moment, six phoenix-winged moth kings were ramming the sarcophagus frantically, making loud noises like punching and kicking. Fortunately, the sarcophagus was made of a special material, otherwise Senior Coffin's body would have been torn to pieces.
“Whoa!”
Sensing the reappearance of Li Weiyi's presence, six Phoenix-winged Moth Kings surrounded and attacked.
Li Weiyi remained unafraid and stood there straight. Only when the six Phoenix-winged Moth Kings came within three feet did he make some finger gestures and activate the Taoist Tai Chi Fish with the spiritual light and flames.
“Wow!”
After a circle of space ripples, the six Phoenix-winged Moth Kings were caught in one net and all collected into the Buddha's relics.
After activating the Taoist Tai Chi Fish three times in a row, Li Weiyi's forehead turned black and his spiritual flame almost went out due to being unable to sustain the consumption.
After stabilizing his body, he walked towards the Heavenly Law and Earthly Spring step by step and entered the abbot's Taoist area. After making sure there was no danger, he sat cross-legged, absorbing the light particles gushing out of the spring above his head and breathing in the magic energy.
Practice telekinesis and magical powers at the same time.
Half a day later.
The center of his brow lit up again.
There was a pop sound above his head, and a faint, straight beam of light shot up from his forehead.
The beam of light was as thick as a finger and extended nine feet high.
Everything went smoothly. Li Weiyi opened the seventh spring and officially stepped into the peak of Yongquan.
Three residual souls in the distance were closely watching the various changes in his body. They were shocked by the Nine-foot Light of the Heavenly Spirit, but they were no longer as startled as before as if they had never seen the world before. They had become a little numb.
Master Guan said, "Old Coffin, your original plan was for Yongquan to last for two years? I think it will only take one year for him to enter the Five Seas."
"The faster you go, the better. But from now on, you have to take each step seriously. Fengfu and Zutian are not so easy to open. Some pure immortal bodies also stop at the Seven Springs. Talent is a bit illusory. People with amazing talents need to work harder and motivate themselves. If they slack off a little, they will fall far behind. Sometimes, a clumsy person who has a difficult start will become stronger and stronger as time goes by."
The corpse in the sarcophagus had high hopes for Li Weiyi, treating him like a blood relative, hoping that he could continue to make great progress, but he was also worried about gains and losses. As the guide for the Taoist Taiji Fish Master in his early years of cultivation, he was under tremendous pressure.
…
Five days later.
The two stone doors of King Cang's Tomb, which were dozens of feet high, slowly opened. Li Weiyi walked out, carefully looked around, and sensed the surroundings. He did not find Li Ling or any martial artists from the Cangli tribe, so he felt a little relieved.
When he arrived at the square in front of the mausoleum, he turned around and bowed deeply three times to King Cang's tomb.
No matter what, we have obtained a great opportunity here. The Phoenix-winged Moth King is nurtured and hatched by the power of heaven and earth, so we should be grateful.
He did not move the coffins from other worlds piled up in the square in front of the mausoleum, nor could he move them. Each one was arranged with an array pattern.
Walk out of the ancestral realm.
It was May outside, hot and masculine.
In the primitive dense forest, cicadas are chirping, birds are singing, crows are flying, and rabbits are running. It is unlike the dead and gloomy situation in the ancestral realm.
After finally seeing the light of day again, breaking through the Seven Springs and subduing seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings, all his injuries were healed. Li Weiyi was full of energy and in a good mood, running quickly on the mountain path.
We came across a pool of water under a waterfall.
“Plop!”
He jumped in and cleansed himself of the rich grime that had accumulated over a month.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The water in the pond is icy cold, but I feel a sense of comfort in my heart.
After landing, I put on the last clean robe in the camel bell and strode out of the mountain. Along the way, everything seemed full of life, and I wanted to kiss every blade of grass and every tree, and I sighed in my heart at the beauty of the world.
It was not until two days later when he walked out of the dense forest of the Mengshan Mountains and saw a black human figure flying in the air. His good mood instantly disappeared.
It’s Murong Xiao!
She carries a huge bow and quiver of magic weapons on her back.
"It's been so long, but you're still haunting me. Are you sure that I'll leave the Mengshan Mountains sooner or later?"
Li Weiyi retreated back into the forest and hid.
After thinking for a moment, he pinched his fingers and the space between his eyebrows lit up. Strands of light particles flew out and poured into the Taoist Tai Chi fish hanging around his neck.
“Wow!”
Seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings were summoned, emitting seven fist-sized balls of colorful light. They flew around Li Weiyi as if they were dancing.
Li Weiyi communicated with them through telekinesis, ordering them to deal with Murong Xiao in mid-air.
The seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings were not so obedient. They had strong bloodlines and could fight against the insects to a certain extent. Of course, the most important thing was that Li Weiyi's telekinesis was too weak.
Helpless, Li Weiyi had to take out the 300-year-old precious medicine Nine-Leaf Cattail, pluck seven crystal clear and fragrant leaves, and feed them to them.
After each eating a cattail leaf, the seven phoenix-winged moth kings became extremely happy, and made chirping sounds from their mouths.
Li Weiyi quickly put away the remaining cattails and said with telekinesis: "If you don't work hard, don't even think about eating it. This nine-leaf cattail is worth thirty thousand silver coins. You are not eating food here, you are eating gold, silver, and my blood. Go quickly!"
"No, she's leaving."
Li Weiyi, with seven phoenix-winged moth kings, rushed out of the dense forest and chased after him.
Murong Xiaofei was in the air 200 meters above the ground, feeling a strong sense of resentment in his heart: "It's been so long, and you still let me search the nearby area every day. Do you really think I'm a member of the Changlin Gang? That kid accidentally entered the ancestral territory of the Jiuli tribe, and he is most likely dead in there. Let's go back to Yaoguan first!"
"Murong Xiao!"
…
A familiar voice calling faintly came from the ground.
Murong Xiao turned her head and looked at the ground behind her. Who else could it be but Li Weiyi standing by the Sui River and waving at her? She was surprised at first, and then filled with joy.
How crazy!
Murong Xiao knew that she could not kill Li Weiyi, so she immediately flapped her wings and prepared to fly to Yaoguan to report the news.
Yaoguan City has gathered many masters who are eager to take Li Weiyi's life, including her allies, Changlin Gang's deputy leader Tang Yan, and Qiquan Hall's fourth Xue Zheng.
“Whoa!”
The dense flapping sound of wings surrounded her, her eyes were blurred, and she only saw colorful spots of light everywhere.
"puff!"
“Puff!”
…
Seven phoenix-winged moths flew past her and around her. Soon, the 21st-ranked Yongquan Realm master of the Seven Springs Hall turned into a dead body and fell from mid-air.
Li Weiyi rushed to the place where the dead body fell, and saw Murong Xiao, who was covered with wounds, and couldn't help but sigh: "How cruel!"
Seven phoenix-winged moth kings flew towards him, chirping and asking for nine-leaf cattail.
Li Weiyi threw the remaining cattails to them and immediately squatted down to touch the corpse.
He took off his purse and it was heavy.
After opening it, it was full of white Yongquan coins, at least fifty or sixty in number, equivalent to five or six hundred thousand copper coins.
For the top 100 warriors, it’s not too much.
The most valuable thing on Murong Xiao's body was the three-meter-long magical bow. Li Weiyi picked it up and pulled it hard, but the bow was too long and out of proportion.
The tall and deformed martial artist is just the right fit.
After sinking Murong Xiao's body into the river, Li Weiyi threw the magic bow into the evil camel bell, preparing to sell it for money.
Standing under the scorching sun, he looked south along the Sui River. The entire horizon was covered with fairy light, especially a beam of light rising from the ground, which was extremely bright and seemed to be able to reach beyond the sky.
Li Weiyi looked around and found that he had passed by this place before, which was located between Yaoguan City and Zangxian Town.
In other words, the area covered by the fairy light is where the Immortal Burial Town is located.
"What on earth happened in Immortal Burial Town? It's been a month, why hasn't it been settled yet?"
Li Weiyi was very curious, but he didn't dare to get involved in the big commotion over there, so he planned to go to Yaoguan City, which was controlled by the Shouli tribe. After eating dry food for a month, he wanted to have a bowl of hot soup noodles and then find a comfortable big bed to sleep.
We will set off for Jiuli Hidden Gate tomorrow.
After the seven phoenix-winged moths had eaten all the cattails, they surrounded him again and flew around in front of his face, almost blinding his eyes!
"No more, no more. I have fed all the medicinal herbs I bought to you!" Li Weiyi hurriedly urged the Taoist Tai Chi Fish to collect them into the Buddha's relics, and only then did he calm down.
The spiritual elders had told him that the Phoenix-winged Moth King was a rare vegetarian insect that only ate various precious medicinal herbs.
To feed them to adulthood, huge amounts of precious medicine are needed.
"Oh! What a sin! It feels like I have raised seven little ancestors. I should go to Yaoguan to buy some medicinal herbs. After all, this is an emperor-level insect. Don't let it starve to death in its infancy!"
Li Weiyi disguised himself, put dirt on his face, and let his hair down, looking extremely shabby and embarrassed.
Although it has been a month, the rumors must have passed, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
Along the way, he could see huge ships on the Sui River heading towards the direction of the Burial Immortal Town, and powerful magicians riding strange beasts passing by him. There were also some more powerful figures who flew across the sky on giant birds a hundred meters long, carrying magnificent palaces.
Today, Yaoguan City is extremely bustling, with sect disciples everywhere and groups of magic and martial arts masters.
Martial artists and mind masters came from all over Lizhou, and even from the other six states in the southern border, upon hearing the news.
Li Weiyi had just entered the city when he smelled a familiar fragrance.
Li Ling jumped out of the crowd, patted him lightly on the shoulder, then flashed in front of him, smiled with bright eyes and white teeth, "You are so brave to come to Yaoguan. Don't you know that many people want to kill you in exchange for rewards?"
Li Weiyi was stunned for a while: "Why are you..."
"With such a crude disguise, you may fool others but not me. Don't be afraid. Now that we have arrived at Yaoguan, we are in the territory of the Jiuli tribe. I will protect you. Come with me!" said Li Ling.
Li Weiyi was finally certain that Li Ling had a way to accurately locate his location, so he asked, "Where are you going?"
"Meet my dad!"
Li Ling thought for a moment and continued, "There are also my mother, my brother, my fourth uncle... Oh, and my sixteen-year-old cousin. This time it's real."
Li Weiyi stopped and stared at her with strange eyes.
