Chapter 347: Land of Ruins
Yu Changsheng was unaware of the movement behind him. He had just walked a long way and looked back suspiciously as if he had sensed something.
"Ah Qing!"
Yu Changsheng sneezed, touched his nose, shook his head and muttered.
"Who is thinking of me? It's okay, we're almost there anyway."
After such a small episode, the rest of the journey was exceptionally calm. Along the way, there were no dangers, and Yu Changsheng had some extra gains.
Since the inner layer of Zizhu Mountain is rarely visited by people, some spiritual herbs and medicines have grown a lot, and the growth is very gratifying.
"Hehe, it's all good for me."
Yu Changsheng naturally accepted all of these with a smile.
It didn't take long. Just like that, half an hour later, Yu Changsheng slowly stopped.
All around, purple bamboos covered the area. In front of him was a smooth cliff that stood abruptly. On the cliff, weeds grew everywhere, but through the weeds on the surface, one could see the mysterious patterns hidden underneath.
What's interesting is that the purple bamboos around, no matter which direction they grow in, are avoiding this cliff intentionally or unintentionally.
"According to the map, this is it..."
Yu Changsheng pondered, and slowly stroked his hand on the cliff. The next moment, his expression was stunned, and he quickly put down his palm as if he had been electrocuted.
"Such a strong sword intent?"
Yu Changsheng was slightly surprised. After shaking his palm, he exhaled a long breath, moved his consciousness slightly, and forced the numbness in his mind away, and fell into deep thought.
"It has the same effect as what I felt on the Sword Thinking Cliff in the Cloud Valley. It is very similar. It seems that the owner is the same..."
Yu Changsheng frowned again and observed it carefully. At the same time, he hesitated for a moment and put his hand on the cliff again.
Because of the weeds, Yu Changsheng didn't see it clearly just now. Now he can see clearly that these lines are actually sword marks, and the sword intent is also born from this.
This sword intention reveals a simple and domineering momentum, and has an unyielding spirit. It has the mottled vicissitudes of time, but it is difficult to conceal. The intention in it seems to be able to cut through the long river of time and come across the eternal time and space.
"Taichu? The sword of opening the sky?"
Yu Changsheng's eyebrows jumped, feeling this intention, and for some reason, he naturally felt the name of this sword.
So he frowned and felt it again carefully, trying to understand something, but it was vague and nothing was gained.
"This sword was used by Meng Wuan before."
After a long time, Yu Changsheng slowly put it in his palm, his eyes opened, and a trace of regret flowed out. He suddenly remembered the sword that Meng Wuan had cut on the Sijian Cliff.
The sword was so beautiful that it still made Yu Changsheng amazed and jealous. Now here, he actually had some of the same feelings.
"What a pity, I have no chance to do it."
Yu Changsheng sighed softly and gave up the idea of continuing to comprehend. He knew nothing about swordsmanship, so it would be a miracle if he could comprehend anything.
The specialness of this cliff also made Yu Changsheng more certain that this was the location of Cao Jinxian's cave.
"Hmm..."
Yu Changsheng thought about it and was about to take out the animal skin map for comparison. Suddenly, his expression changed, he turned his head suddenly, and punched back.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Like a flash of purple thunder, it passed through the void, and only purple afterimages could be seen, which hit Yu Changsheng fiercely and landed at the same place as Yu Changsheng's fist.
"Crack, crack..."
The next moment, a huge force emerged from Yu Changsheng's fist, and a muffled groan sounded. Yu Changsheng's mouth was sweet, and he took three steps back, his face slightly condensed.
"What is that?"
The purple light dissipated, and what was pulled towards Yu Changsheng was nothing else but a graceful purple bamboo, towering up to the sky, with distinct joints, crystal clear, and countless branches growing beside it, and drops of dew dripping from the purple bamboo leaves.
What surprised Yu Changsheng was that although this thing was a purple bamboo, it gave Yu Changsheng the feeling of facing a purple bamboo sword, with a sharp sword energy all over the body, and the sword intent rippled in the void.
"Is this, the purple bamboo has become a spirit?"
Yu Changsheng was speechless, and spoke with some surprise. He could feel that the thing in front of him had intelligence.
"Human, this is not the place for you to come, get out of my territory."
Just as Yu Changsheng was surprised, the purple bamboo in front of him flashed, and slowly transformed into a little man in a purple robe and fluttering purple hair, staring at Yu Changsheng with a serious face, with a childish voice and a serious tone.
"It has turned into a spirit? So cute!"
Yu Changsheng couldn't help but exclaimed, looking at the little man in front of him, ignoring his warning, his eyes lit up.
The little man in front of him was only one-third of Yu Changsheng's height, wearing a purple robe that fell to the ground. On his fair little face, he had a pair of cherry lips that were pink and tender. The pupils in his little eyes were very strange, purple, and his little ears were not like human ears, but pointed and erect, like an elf.
The long purple hair was scattered casually, with an indescribable noble color. The small body was shaking, and the delicate little face looked very cute, but at this moment, he was tightly tense, pouting, looking at Yu Changsheng with a bad face, his eyes were slightly cold, and he was holding a long purple bamboo in his arms, sparkling like crystal.
In short, to describe it in one word, it looked like a five or six-year-old child, very delicate and cute!
"Who are you talking about cute? I'm very fierce!"
Hearing Yu Changsheng's "teasing" like this, the little porcelain doll immediately gritted his teeth and looked at Yu Changsheng angrily, his eyes becoming more and more evil.
So he snorted coldly with his nose, his face turned cold, he waved his little hand, and the purple bamboo in his hand fell down, tearing the void in an instant, causing the surrounding purple bamboo to shake, and a purple rainbow, carrying an astonishing sword energy, cut through the void He slashed at Yu Changsheng.
"Sword Qi? You are not a simple guy!"
Yu Changsheng was even more surprised. He retracted his contemptuous thoughts and breathed out gently. His magic power was released crazily. Dense shadows of golden-winged eagle beasts appeared in front of him, blocking Yu Changsheng in front of him to offset the sword energy. .
"Bang bang bang..."
The sword energy dissipated, and the beast shadows laid out by Yu Changsheng also shattered.
With this blow, it could be seen that the purple kid just did it casually, but it made Yu Changsheng's expression slightly solemn.
"What a powerful attack. Zizhu has become a spirit and has this kind of sword energy. It's really strange."
Yu Changsheng clicked his tongue in amazement, feeling the aura of the purple child carefully, and understood in his heart.
"The late Golden Core... This guy has been here for who knows how long. He grew up in this place and was affected by this cliff. Instead, he mutated and transformed into a spirit. He also has this swordsmanship..."
"Hmph. Now you know I'm not someone to be trifled with."
Seeing that his attack failed, the purple kid snorted coldly and looked at Yu Changsheng arrogantly, holding Zizhu in his arms with a hint of pride and vigilance in his expression.
"This blow is just a warning, human. If you don't leave my territory, I will attack with all my strength."
The purple child bared his teeth and claws, and gestured at Yu Changsheng, warning like this. The pressure that was comparable to the late stage of Jindan fell towards Yu Changsheng intentionally or unintentionally.
Yu Changsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he clasped his fists and smiled humbly: "I didn't know that this place was your territory, so I bothered you so rashly. I'm really sorry. Changsheng will apologize to you here."
Seeing Yu Changsheng's gentle attitude, the purple child was stunned, pouting, and his aura slightly reduced.
Yu Changsheng rolled his eyes, but changed the subject, and smiled softly:
"But today, I really have something to do here, so I need to disturb you for a while. I hope fellow Taoist people will understand."
"you!"
Hearing this, Zi Zi's little face suddenly tensed up again. He pointed at Yu Changsheng with his little finger, and an angry look appeared on his face. Because of his anger, a blush appeared on both sides of his cheeks, which was really pretty.
"Okay, you guy, whatever you do has nothing to do with me anymore, but this is my home. Are you polite if you come to my home rashly?"
After saying that, the purple child patted the purple bamboo in his arms with his little hand, and kept moving his fingers. The purple bamboo was like a sword, cutting through the void in an instant, drawing out a series of sword flowers, and stabbing at Yu Changsheng.
The speed was astonishing, and it carried a fierce sword intent that was unstoppable and moving. Wherever it passed, just the residual power caused the surrounding purple bamboo forest to break, and ravines appeared on the ground.
In an instant, purple light flashed, and purple bamboo leaves fell one after another. Only the purple bamboo sword, following the command of the purple child, flickered and turned into thousands, blocking it from all directions and shooting towards Yu Changsheng.
"Red Purgatory Dragon!"
Yu Changsheng did not dare to be careless. Feeling the power within it, the Red Purgatory Dragon appeared beside him and roared upwards. The evil fire spread out, burned blazingly, and turned into a sea of fire, blocking Yu Changsheng's surroundings.
"Hiss, hiss..."
The evil fire rose, and the phantoms of the purple bamboo swords shattered. More of them passed through the sea of evil fire and continued to rush toward Yu Changsheng. The sword light filled the sky, and murderous intent was hidden.
"Color Star Deer!"
Yu Changsheng whispered, stepped back, waved his hand again, and the Caixing Deer was summoned from the interior scene. With a gentle step, thorns and vines rose up from the ground and turned into cages, forming a second layer of protection. The purple bamboo sword light and shadow that filled the sky were blocked one by one.
Yu Changsheng, on the other hand, took advantage of this gap, his eyes flashing, and after several consecutive shadow flashes, he broke through the obstacles and suddenly appeared in front of the purple child, with flames rising in his hands and golden light dazzling.
"Rising Sun Dawn Fist!"
A phantom of the sun merged into the fist, the fist was shining brightly, Yu Changsheng's beard and hair were spread out, and he looked like a god and demon. The punch carried great power and went straight towards the purple child's face.
The purple child quickly retreated, his steps leaping in the void. While pulling away, he slashed the purple bamboo in his hand, and thousands of sword lights pierced again, like raindrops, towards Yu Changsheng.
Yu Changsheng's physical body qi and blood shook, and a golden light emitted from it, turning into a cloak and armor. He directly ignored the sword light and relied on his strong physical body to pass through without changing his expression.
Seeing this, a trace of panic appeared on Zi Zi's little face. With a push of his hand, the purple bamboo in his hand turned into a shocking rainbow, which cut through the void like purple thunder, causing the void to tremble and stab Yu Changsheng again.
Yu Changsheng's eyebrows darkened slightly, his energy and blood surged, and the physical power exploded with all his strength. The Chaoyang Dawn Fist struck down on the Zizhu. In one click, Yu Changsheng's body shook, but the Zizhu was directly hit by this huge force. It collapsed, and Yu Changsheng's fist continued to rush towards the purple child with an unstoppable force.
"don't want!"
The purple kid exclaimed in panic, his body shook and flickered, and his face turned slightly pale.
Yu Changsheng's body suddenly paused. Just when his fist was about to land on the face of the purple kid, he suddenly stopped and put his fist down calmly. He replaced it with his palm and gently touched the purple kid's head. He rubbed it and said with a smile:
"Why would such a cute little guy be willing to hit you?"
The purple child was stunned, and looked at Yu Changsheng with a serious expression. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and his eyes changed for a while, so that he did not resist Yu Changsheng's big hand, and allowed him to knead his head. .
Yu Changsheng smiled and gently touched the purple child's head. His eyes were filled with surprise and confusion. His consciousness converged and he felt the changes around him. His expression remained unchanged, but in his heart...
All around, I don’t know when, all the purple bamboos put away their purple light at this moment, and silently, they all bent and pointed in the direction of Yu Changsheng. The purple bamboos were like swords, revealing an indescribable cold light, and the purple bamboos The leaves were all crouched, and each one seemed to have spirituality.
A silent murderous intention, seemingly invisible, locked onto Yu Changsheng.
Yu Changsheng quietly swallowed his saliva and looked at the purple child with a chuckle, showing no threat and trying his best to show kindness.
Just now, when his fist was about to fall, he suddenly felt a violent life-and-death crisis erupting behind him, like a sharp edge on his back, so he withdrew his offensive at the critical moment.
Behind him, the upright and curved purple bamboos remained there for a while after Yu Changsheng withdrew his attack, and then slowly returned to their original state.
Yu Changsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face became more and more friendly. After thinking about it, he couldn't help pinching the purple child's cheek. He chuckled, took out a few pills from his arms, and handed them to After hearing the purple child, he endured the distress in his heart, waved his hand in a pretentious manner, and said passionately:
"These can be regarded as the first meeting gift that my brother has given you, and also as an apology for disturbing you this time. Please accept it."
The elixirs he took out were all third-grade elixirs. If Yang Tianyi hadn't given him so much wealth, he wouldn't have been able to be so generous.
And sure enough, after seeing the elixir in Yu Changsheng's hand, the originally frowning child Zi's eyes showed a trace of confusion at first, and then relaxed. He didn't even notice the hand holding his little face, and hesitated for a moment. He said coquettishly:
"Then...well, I'll forgive you this time."
After saying that, he took the elixir from Yu Changsheng's hand with lightning speed and swallowed it in his stomach, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
