Chapter 319: The Good Virtues of the People of Zhongzhou
"Master Lin Du has crushed the core of the demonic tide! The demonic tide is about to retreat!!"
The earth-shaking cries coming from outside the city were the great joy after the great sorrow, the hope after the despair, as if they were trying to howl out the despair and powerlessness in their hearts for the past seven days.
After seven days of hopeless battle, they could finally shout that they were finally winning.
This is not the dawn, it is the daybreak! The door to life is wide open!
There were only a few "little cats" left in the city. They were forced into a dead end by a group of righteous monks, and their huge bodies looked pitiful.
Shengyan heard a faint shout, "The outsiders are winning, we can't fall behind."
She raised her hands, and the two swords swung out a sword energy that was much brighter than the dark blades. She killed two evil demons one by one with the sword. Then she turned swiftly, and the two swords turned a circle between her hands, with the sharp tips pointing downwards and inserted into the leather holster at her waist.
"We have returned victoriously. Let's go home for dinner. Sheng Tang and the others are going back to the city."
Shengyan walked towards the makeshift stove they had built at a leisurely pace.
Lin Du felt that she was fine. She really hadn't reached the point where she had to get an injection.
Du Shao firmly inserted the golden needle into her head, "No, you have to get the needle, bear with it."
Lin Du was speechless and sighed. Lin Du became a scarecrow at the mercy of others.
By the time Du Shao's master arrived, Lin Du had become a sparse little hedgehog that had lost its quills.
The golden thorns are the kind that can even glow. Spiritual energy is continuously input into them to relieve the pain of over-consumption.
Lin Du looked innocently at Su Mu, the elder of Jesejong, and said, "Master Su, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Su Mu felt that this scene seemed familiar, except that last time someone fainted and it was she who gave the acupuncture.
She watched Du Shao insert the needle without interrupting, "Go one more inch."
Lin Du shuddered, and before he could open his mouth, he let out a hissing sound.
"Your spiritual power is completely consumed. I heard from people outside that you pulled down the secret realm of Heaven?" Su Mu took Lin Du's pulse, took out a gold needle that was thicker than the one Du Shao used, inserted it into the acupuncture point, and injected spiritual power into it to soothe Lin Du's empty meridians.
"It's okay, it's okay. People like me who practice Taoism just need a little help from heaven." Lin Du was a little humble.
"This is the first time I've seen someone forcibly pull the rules of heaven without being backlashed. How did you do it?" Su Mu didn't stop.
Lin Du didn't dare to move. "It's just this first and then that. A formation master is nothing."
It was extremely perfunctory, but Su Mu took the opportunity when she diverted her attention to stab her in the heart with a needle.
Lin Du spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Your heart is much more vigorous than the last time I saw you. It seems that the Living Judge is still very powerful."
Sumu said as he poured his healing spiritual energy into it, "This time, your body is much stronger than last time."
Lin Du frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and asked, "Excuse me, Master, how long will this acupuncture take?"
"What? Do you still want to go out and kill demons?" Su Mu looked up at Lin Du's face and sighed softly, "Don't worry, the reinforcements have arrived. They were afraid that Huangshi City would be breached, so they reinforced the defense formations in the cities behind to prevent the approach of the demons. I didn't expect you to defend the city gates and not let go of a single demon."
Lin Du nodded when he heard this, "The main reason is... there is a Heavenly Dao Secret Realm outside, and we are here now."
The good virtues of the people of Zhongzhou have finally arrived.
Sumu: ...
"He's still a child. What's more important, life or opportunity? Why make a fuss?" Su Mu is only at the fourth stage now. He should be on par with her in terms of cultivation, but in Zhongzhou, children under the age of a hundred are called children.
As she spoke, her needle was extremely accurate, "I'm telling you, you're just too hard on yourself."
The Supreme Sect has many geniuses, but the mortality rate is also extremely high. When it is prosperous, it is truly prosperous, and when it is declining, they die one after another, as if there is some strange curse.
I originally thought that this generation of disciples would also be subject to the curse... After all, before Lin Du's wave of disciples, two of the new generation of disciples in the Supreme Sect had died young. In the past few years, many rumors had been heard, one was that the spiritual bones were gone, another was that the dragon energy was gone, and another was that Lin Du was about to die.
But at the most critical moment, they all came out again.
Jesejong rescued countless monks outside the city gate, but there was no monk from the Supreme Sect among them. However, after asking the seriously injured people, four or five out of ten were rescued by people from the Supreme Sect.
Until the mother tree was destroyed, the first five monks to jump out were shouting the name of Junior Uncle. This made Su Mu certain that the disciples of the Supreme Sect were still there.
It's really strange. In prosperous times, things hide, while in troubled times, things emerge. It seems that fate is fragile and swaying like duckweed, but at the critical moment, it can always make a surprising move to save the situation.
While she was busy, she had seen the astonishing scene of Lindu pulling down the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm in the heavy snow, and also saw the group of evil demons that were brought together by the spiritual power wave, huddled together, ready to eat human flesh and blood.
And the sword genius who was said to have lost his soul had already leapt forward and drawn his sword before the monk even got up.
With one sword, thunder from the sky descended. Twenty-seven thunders from the sky descended in the falling snow, transforming into raging sword energy, which killed nearly a hundred evil demons in an instant.
Like the end of winter and the prelude to spring.
It turns out that the cold winter is not that hard to endure. It means that after a long period of painful trials, there will finally be a satisfactory harvest in the end; it means that spring is coming and there is hope for the future.
Su Mu finished the acupuncture, stood up, and took one last look at Lin Du, "Okay, that's enough."
Someone happened to knock on the door at this time. "I am from the Tongtian Sect and we have prepared a pot of delicious soup. It can dispel evil spirits, replenish the soul, clear the source of the body, and also replenish physical strength. Do you need it, fellow Taoist?"
Su Mu responded, "Thank you for your help."
She opened the door. "Give her a big bowl. She's been killing demons for seven days, and then there was a big fight at the end. It's time to replenish her energy."
Shengyan raised his head and looked at the person on the couch.
His hair was whiter than snow, and he was wearing a thin shirt with a slightly loose collar. He was usually uninhibited and unruly, but now he looked even more frail. Although he was not as white as jade but as good as colored glass, and although he was still pierced with needles like a hedgehog, he could still lazily raise his eyelids and wave at her, "Hey, how's the city?"
"That's great. There were evil demons that transformed into human bodies and hid in the city. They had settled there long before the demon tide came and sealed off the city. I guess it was a backup plan left by the evil demons, hoping to cooperate with us from inside and outside. We killed them all."
Shengyan stuffed a bowl of soup into Lin Du's hand, blending the thin snow into the smell of fireworks.
"Drink, the time outside the city is almost over."
Lin Du smiled and thanked him, "I pulled down a secret realm of heaven outside the city."
Shengyan lowered his eyes and looked at this monk who was younger than himself but had an extremely strong mind. "What do you mean?"
"It's a gift from heaven, we have to accept it all."
Lin Du blinked his eyes, took a sip of the soup, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction. He felt as if spiritual power was exploding on the tip of his tongue, mellow and long. "Ah... this is cooking."
It looks like a cat that has successfully stolen some fish, but it is actually a wolf with a black heart.
Shengyan accepted her invitation, thinking that Lin Du's suggestion of accepting everything was interesting.
