Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Self-destruction. Two-in-one
Chen Qing looked at the thing that was rolling endlessly in the layer of clouds, frowning in confusion.
In the morning, they secretly followed Song Yuxi and found that she had brought the woman and girl who were parasitized by the worm queen back to her house in broad daylight. After Song Yuxi hired a doctor for the woman, she looked at the golden osmanthus twig in the bottle in the yard for a long time, then changed her clothes and left through the secret passage.
They followed all the way and found that it was Song Yuxi who left on a boat with his servants.
Chen Qing did not alert the enemy, but immediately returned to Zhou's residence, only to find that the girl and the woman had disappeared.
The woman was still there when Song Yuxi left, so it couldn't be her who did it, so it could only be Zhou Zhishan.
Where did Zhou Zhishan take the person? What about the Worm Mother?
And what was that thing that suddenly appeared in the sky? A dragon? A demonic dragon? How could she not know that Weinan County had been plagued by demons in her past life?
A thought vaguely flashed through his mind, but Shen Qing didn't dare to believe it.
She was in a daze at the moment, holding the silver thread tightly in her hand and asked, "Where are the mother and daughter that Song Yuxi brought back?"
Zhou Zhishan said: "I sent them home."
Chen Qing said, "I don't believe it. Did you kill them?" She increased the strength in her hands.
Zhou Zhishan's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I really didn't do that this time. Why would I kill a half-dead man and a child? Besides, they were the ones Wu Niang had rescued."
Chen Qing snorted coldly, "After Song Yuxi rescued a weak woman like me and him who was hanging on to his last breath, didn't you still want to kill us?" But you didn't succeed.
“…”
Zhou Zhishan was speechless at this moment.
Chen Qing said, "Never mind. I'm here for revenge. You've sent multiple waves of people to assassinate us, both covertly and overtly, leaving me unable to sleep peacefully for a single day. So, how about this? I'll make you feel the same way."
Seeing that Chen Qing was about to tighten the silver wire to break his neck, Zhou Zhishan immediately said, "It is not my intention to assassinate you. Someone asked me to do it!" He sold out the person behind the scenes without hesitation.
"After that night, I promised Wu Niang that I would let you go so that the situation could be settled peacefully. But not only did he refuse, he also insisted that I finish you off before the imperial court arrived."
Knowing he was a tough opponent, yet still asking him to get closer was like suppressing one problem only to have it pop up again. Besides getting himself into trouble, there was no good outcome. The other party's intention to abandon the donkey after it had served its purpose was so obvious, and Zhou Zhishan was determined not to let him succeed. So, before Li Daoxuan even asked, his words spilled out like a leaky ladle.
Li Daoxuan's eyes narrowed after hearing this. He drew his sword and placed it across his neck, demanding, "Who is that man?"
The sword was a little crooked and accidentally cut Zhou Zhishan's face. He shouted, "Don't touch my face!"
He didn't scream when his neck was bleeding, but now he reacted so violently when his face was only slightly scratched. Chen Qing seemed to have discovered something. She narrowed her eyes, pulled out a silver hairpin from her head, and gestured up and down his cheek, as if trying to determine where to start.
Zhou Zhishan immediately held his breath, as if feeling annoyed at his recent loss of composure. Realizing that he had become increasingly easily agitated recently, he frowned.
Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed with anger. He slowly leaned over and said to Zhou Zhishan, who was half a head shorter than him, "If you don't tell me, I'll chop off your head!"
"Shut up! I haven't finished asking!" Chen Qing anxiously slapped Li Daoxuan's sword away, roared at him, and turned around to ask, "I'm asking you again, where did you take that mother and daughter? Tell the truth, or I'll scratch your face and make your Fifth Mother hate you."
Zhou Zhishan said, "What I said is true! I paid a doctor to look after the mother and daughter for two months, and I sent them home."
"I have nothing now, is there any need to kill to silence me? I've already sent Wu Niang away. I was planning to give up everything and go look for her in a few days, but something unexpected happened today. The mansion had someone take care of it in advance, and I fell into your hands! There's no need for me to lie!"
Did Wu Niang really escape? Why did she escape?
The dazzling white light was extremely blinding. The dragon-like creature was still rolling around in the clouds, extremely violent. Not long after, another long and piercing roar was heard.
Because it was too far away, it was impossible to tell what kind of demon it was. All I knew was that from that distance, I could see a huge black shadow. If it were closer, I'm afraid it would crush half of Weinan County.
Li Daoxuan had just recovered from a serious injury, and he didn't know if his muscles and bones had grown back. He could still deal with people, but as for dealing with monsters... Chen Qing touched the signal on his waist, wondering whether he should send a signal for support.
But it howled in the sky for a long time, without any intention of hurting anyone, and Shen Qing hesitated again.
Another thing is, if that thing is a dragon... Wu Niang is also a dragon, it can't be such a coincidence, right?
The more Chen Qing thought about it, the more suspicious she became. She grabbed Zhou Zhishan by the collar and asked, "Was that woman still pregnant when she left?"
"When I left, my belly was still big, but most of it had gone down." When I came, it felt like I was ten months pregnant, and when I left, it felt like I was five months pregnant.
At first he thought the woman was pregnant, but her belly was shrinking too quickly, and there was no servant carrying out the dead fetus or the bloody basin.
The guess in her heart took root with these words, and Shen Qing slowly opened her eyes. She still had one last thing to confirm.
She wants to go to heaven!
"Li A'man, I want to go to heaven!" she said.
Li Daoxuan’s mind was blank, and he couldn’t understand Shen Qing’s words for a moment.
Chen Qing shouted again: "Good Ah Man, I want to go to heaven!"
Li Daoxuan's heart trembled, and he immediately understood. He immediately grabbed Chen Qing's arm, spun around and leaped up. The Qiu Ren sword that was thrown on the ground vibrated and shot out in an instant when Li Daoxuan held it in one hand, returning it to his palm.
When the light function reached the highest point, Li Daoxuan suddenly threw out the sword and gently pushed Chen Qing, who fell down due to inertia.
Before doing all this, Li Daoxuan whispered in her ear: "All I can do is send you here. The rest depends on you."
Chen Qing felt a sharp push on the back, their hair tangled together as he said nonchalantly, "Just do it. I'll back you up."
The hair separated in an instant, the rich scent of grass and wood dissipated, and Chen Qing looked back to see him falling down as quickly as a stone.
However, he looked calm and composed, his eyes were still steady, without even the slightest panic. The corners of his lips rose slightly, as if challenging her to see how far she could go.
Chen Qing's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand, but only grabbed a handful of empty air.
Immediately afterwards, Li Daoxuan quickly adjusted his posture, stretched his body in the air like a bird, turned a corner and flew to the ground.
Seeing this, Chen Qing's heart hardened, and he quickly raised his head to grab Qiu Ren. The air was far from the ground, and once Li Daoxuan's lent strength ended, Chen Qing could fall at any time due to inertia.
She needed to go up a little bit, just a little bit, to see clearly whether it was a dragon, a flooded snake, or some other monster inside the clouds.
Under immense pressure, Chen Qing was thinking of a solution very quickly.
She only had poison weapons and hidden weapons on her, small and light, and useless to carry close to her body. Her talismans only contained blood talismans and blasting talismans, which could only blow up monsters and were useless. Her clothes and jewelry were all prepared by Li Daoxuan, simple daily necessities, also useless.
If there is anything useful, it is probably only Song Yuxi's glass heart. I can only take a gamble and bet that thing likes the glass heart.
Chen Qing immediately bit her fingertips and tapped Liu Li's heart.
Taking advantage of the moment when the glass heart was absorbing blood and causing fluctuations, Chen Qing suddenly took off the glass heart, threw it up fiercely, and called out: "Song Yuxi!"
The long black object seemed to sense something, and its pair of large lantern-like eyes stared at Liulixin, who was flashing red light. Then it raised its head and let out a long roar, then broke through the clouds and swooped down, heading straight towards Liulixin.
The thing was getting closer and closer.
Finally, Liulixin stopped its upward trajectory, stagnated in the air for a very short moment, and then fell straight down.
Chen Qing also lost his strength at this time, and fell down together with Qiu Ren.
Qiu Ren seemed extremely anxious. His spirit emerged from his body and turned into an arm-like thickness. His tail was wrapped around the hilt of his sword, and his head was moving upwards like a fish swimming in the water. He seemed to naively want to stop Chen Qing from falling by himself, but it was of no avail.
Along with it came a huge dragon.
That’s right, it’s a dragon, a black dragon.
The Xuanji Pavilion's "Monster Records" distinguishes between black dragons and black dragons in this way:
The black dragon has a slender body and twin horns on its head, their branches complex and strong, like the branches of a pine tree. Its beard is flowing and slender, and its eyes are large and bright, with a majestic and peaceful gaze, and when it opens and closes, it seems like thunder is hidden.
The Black Dragon is a short, slightly shorter creature covered in dark black scales with a cold, eerie sheen. Its horns are short, sharp, and dagger-like. Its whiskers are short, stiff, and its eyes, narrow and upturned, are a deep green. Its gaze is cold and sinister, like a will-o'-the-wisp on a cold night. It is so pure and kind that its elixir can transform it into a spirit.
Chen Qing guessed that this spirit was Liuli Xin.
A dark mass pressed down in front of it, and its dark green eyes were cold. It rolled up the glass heart, which was as small as a fingernail to it, with its tongue and swallowed it into its stomach.
Chen Qing thought: It’s over, it’s stained with disgusting saliva, I can’t keep it.
Her second thought was: She must keep it a secret, keep it a secret for the life of her. She must not let him know that Liulixin was gone before they got married, otherwise everything she had done would be in vain.
Xuan Jiao, or rather the irrational Song Yuxi, swallowed Liu Li Xin whole and then leaned over towards Chen Qing with a ferocious look, seemingly intending to swallow her whole.
Just as the two were approaching, the black dragon suddenly stopped, as if it had regained its senses. Its dark green pupils opened and closed, flashing with pain. Then it suddenly turned around and flew back into the clouds where thunder and lightning were rolling.
If you look closely, you can find that it seems to be rubbing against the thunderclouds intentionally or unintentionally, actively attracting lightning to strike its own flesh. At this moment, there seems to be a layer of blood rain falling above the clouds, which is the blood flowing from its body.
Song Yuxi was committing self-harm, or perhaps committing suicide.
Chen Qing finally figured out the whole story, which was unexpected but also reasonable.
Where is the insect mother?
The black dragon has a strong body, without any bulges or abnormalities on its body.
You should know that no matter who the hunger worm parasitizes, the victim's stomach will bulge rapidly within just half an hour, and the flesh and blood of his limbs will be continuously transported to the stomach until the person is sucked dry, leaving only the stomach unusually large. At this time, the mature hunger worm will break out of the abdomen, wait until the blood and energy in the body are exhausted, and then look for the next target to parasitize, and repeat this cycle over and over again.
This is how starving worms can live so long. As long as they keep eating, they won't die.
Chen Qing was a little worried, afraid that something might go wrong halfway.
If Song Yuxi fails to handle it properly and is reincarnated by the Insect Mother and escapes, it would be difficult to find her again, as the Insect Mother is "immortal".
At that time, there was a famine in Weinan County. Not only was the ferry dangerous, but it would be even more dangerous if my senior brother came to exorcise the monster. When my mother returned home, she couldn't take the water route. How long would it take before I could see her again?
If I had known this earlier, I would have done it myself. Anyway, the woman was seriously injured and would not live long. She suffered so much in her life, and she probably wouldn't want to suffer in the world again after death. As long as I promise to take care of her daughter, she will definitely agree to sacrifice herself.
Chen Qing pursed her lips and thought rather paranoidly.
The strong feeling of weightlessness woke her up. She spread out her hands and let herself fall, trying to get rid of her inner restlessness.
Seeing the dragon getting smaller and smaller in his perspective, Shen Qing silently said in his heart:
"three."
"two."
"one."
As soon as she landed, she fell into a pair of strong arms.
A rich, refreshing aroma of plants and trees washes over me, instantly enveloping me. At first, it's as refreshing as morning dew, quietly condensing between leaves, exuding a natural purity that seems to dispel any foul air.
Chen Qing felt as if a feather had scratched her heart, and she wished she could merge his bones and blood with her own.
She suddenly smiled, and naturally put her arms around his neck and said, "Good A'man." Good dog.
Li Daoxuan lowered his eyes and stared at her. In her eyes, there was the familiar obsession and love. The palm of Li Daoxuan's hand holding her thin shoulder instantly broke out in sweat.
His thick eyelashes fluttered and he quickly let go.
Chen Qing reluctantly moved closer to his ear, almost touching his thin, tender and red earlobe. But after getting close, the fragrance of plants and trees disappeared completely. Chen Qing's eyes suddenly became clear, and she lost all interest. She stood up and took a few steps back.
Li Daoxuan felt as if a piece was missing in his heart. A cool breeze blew past, and the piece of heart fell into her hands, but he didn't know it.
Chen Qing said, "Song Yuxi is trying to commit suicide by attracting lightning." As soon as she finished speaking, the scent of plants and trees on his body came again, and she frowned quietly.
Upon hearing this, Li Daoxuan straightened his expression and looked up at the sky.
Chen Qing looked behind him and saw Zhou Zhishan, his hands and feet tied, lying on the ground with a ferocious look on his face, struggling like a salted fish trying to turn over.
The violent and violent man is so ugly. I'm afraid only Wu Niang likes him.
Chen Qing was startled for a moment, then reacted instantly and said, "Li A'man, come and help me throw him down!"
Li Daoxuan turned around and saw that she was pointing to the water's edge. He refused and said, "No, it's useful to keep this person."
Chen Qing said, "Then hide him! Don't let her see Zhou Zhishan, I'm afraid she'll be upset and go crazy!"
Li Daoxuan suddenly realized what was going on. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Zhishan's collar, and dragged him to the shore.
Zhou Zhishan collapsed on the ground and screamed: "My face! Turn it over for me! My face——"
"Bear with it." After these two brief words, Zhou Zhishan was thrown into a black-sailed boat. He was hit so hard that he felt dizzy and his limbs became weak.
Li Daoxuan pasted several talismans on the boat to ensure that not a trace of his breath could be leaked. Then he turned back and observed the situation in the air with bated breath.
As the falling blood rain grew heavier and denser, the black dragon's long roar changed from deafening to a mournful hum.
The last strike of lightning almost split the black dragon in half at the waist and abdomen. The black dragon instantly lost its life and fell straight from the sky.
Chen Qing watched Song Yuxi foolishly committing suicide. He was clearly sneering and disdainful of her, but for some reason, watching her fall almost miserably, the hollow hole in Chen Qing's heart was further cracked.
She walked forward subconsciously.
Li Daoxuan grabbed her and said, "Don't go over there, be careful not to get crushed into a pulp." He stared at the body of the black dragon, judging the direction it would fall and the location it would land on. The muscles in his calves were tense all the time. Once the black dragon was about to fall towards them, he would immediately pull Chen Qing away.
Another wave of fragrance came, but at this moment Chen Qing felt that Li Daoxuan's fragrance was no longer there. She broke free from his hand and walked straight forward.
She had many doubts in her mind, and she wanted to ask Song Yuxi.
Li Daoxuan: "Youan, come back." He said coldly.
Shen Qing was like a mad cat, with all its fur standing up, and she scratched his face with one claw, "Go away! Get out! Don't order me around!"
She glared at him fiercely and walked forward stubbornly.
His burning heart seemed to be poured with cold water. Li Daoxuan's face turned extremely dark. He stood there with his lips pursed, as if he didn't want to care about her anymore.
The black dragon fell faster and faster, but its seemingly petite body seemed to have not changed at all. No matter how fast it fell, it looked so thin.
He stared intently for a while. Oh, it turned out that it had been shrinking its body, perhaps because it was afraid that such a big body would fall down and hurt innocent people. Even in its death, it was still thinking about others.
Shrinking my body would only double the pain. I could have indulged myself for a while, and it would have been less painful.
Chen Qing was becoming increasingly confused. Why was this happening? Was it just for the so-called "common people" who had nothing to do with him?
“Pah—”
The small black dragon fell and crashed into the Wei River. Its head and tail were connected by a thin layer of skin and flesh, and blood spread out in large patches.
Chen Qing tilted his head, then stood up and jumped into the river.
The freezing cold river water washed over her delicate skin. It seemed as if needles were hidden in the river. Every time she swam, thousands of needles would pierce her skin, penetrate her flesh, and madly nail her fragile yet hard bones.
It was as if she was back to the year when she was twelve years old and she and her senior brother encountered a water monster on the boat. She volunteered to protect the people on the boat, but the angry water monster saw through her intimacy with her senior brother and asked her to jump into the water by name, otherwise it would kill a group of people on the boat.
The mere water demon Chen Qing could be defended with just a barrier, but the person protected within the barrier listened to the water demon's threat and pushed her down.
Her barrier can prevent monsters, trap monsters, and eliminate monsters, but she cannot defeat monsters or humans.
She doesn't understand.
The icy cold river water was biting, and as dense water monsters gnawed at her arms, Chen Qing used her last bit of strength to tear off the suppressing talisman in the center of the formation.
The barrier was broken, and the people on the boat became the objects of the water monster's carnival. There were constant screams and curses, some of which were curses against her relatives. But soon, the person who cursed her mother was bitten in the throat by the water monster. Chen Qing smiled so brightly for the first time.
Humans are the most ungrateful creatures, and only the closest ones are worth cherishing.
Wu Niang is so stupid.
