Chapter 747: Inheritance, unexpected disaster! (Happy New Year)
"What's going on? Why are they afraid of me?"
The little girl saw that the uncles, aunts, grandparents, who usually called her "Little Que'er", were now full of fear and terror towards her, and felt confused.
Is it because you killed the tiger?
But don’t many uncles and uncles in the village also go up the mountain to hunt?
Or was it that I was too young and shouldn't have killed the tiger?
Xiao Que'er remembered that her mother-in-law said that she was too strong and should not show it in front of other people.
She pursed her pale lips and tried to carry her mother-in-law back to rest.
But one of her arms was bleeding from being bitten by the Diaoqing tiger and was in great pain, and the two punches just now seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
But she still endured the pain, gritted her teeth, carried her mother-in-law back to the cabin and put her on the bed.
"huhuhuhu"
Xiao Que'er gasped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, rested for a while, and then found a piece of cloth to bandage the wound on his arm.
Although she had seen old people in the village die, her mother-in-law said that they were just sleeping and would never wake up again.
She hoped that her mother-in-law would wake up, so she kept calling out to her, but when she saw that she didn't respond, she brought over the unfinished food and fed it to her.
Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't eat, she remembered that when she went to visit Aunt Li who was seriously ill, her mother-in-law said she was not feeling well and wanted to drink porridge.
Then the little girl started to make a fire and cook porridge.
Although she usually helped with cooking and was very skilled, she was anxious at this moment and wanted to cook the porridge quickly, so she could only lie on the stove and blow the fire, causing her little face to turn red and gray.
After a long time, the girl saw that the porridge seemed to be cooked, but she was too impatient and directly picked up the clay pot with her hands, causing her fair and tender hands to be burned red.
But she was afraid of spilling the rice porridge, so she could only endure the heat and gently put the clay pot aside. Then, with red eyes, she blew her little hands and pinched her two little ears.
After a while, she got a towel and wet it, then carefully carried the pot to the bedside, shook her mother-in-law's body, and said in a crying voice, "Mother-in-law, drink some porridge."
But no matter how she fed her, her mother-in-law wouldn't eat and didn't respond at all.
For a moment, a huge fear came over her, leaving the girl confused and at a loss.
"Little bird."
I don’t know how long it had been, but suddenly a slightly old voice came from outside.
The girl came back to her senses in a daze, then stood up, opened the door, walked out of the dilapidated wooden house, and saw an old man and a middle-aged woman.
"Grandpa Wang, Aunt Wang."
Xiao Que'er wiped her tears and shouted with a choked voice.
The two were a little frightened at first, but when they looked at the pitiful appearance of the girl in front of them, an indescribable complex emotion surged in their hearts.
"Aunt Wang, Grandma is not awake."
The girl continued speaking, choking with sobs.
The two looked at each other, then went into the wooden house with Xiao Que'er. They looked at Granny Li who was already dead on the bed. Aunt Wang sighed and said softly, "Xiao Que'er, Granny Li is dead."
In fact, before they came here, they guessed that Granny Li was probably dead.
After all, the latter was already old, and was thrown sideways by the monster's momentum and hit on the head, so there was no chance of survival for him.
Thinking about how Granny Li's family died at the hands of monsters in her early years, and now they themselves have died at the hands of monsters, the two of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
"die"
The girl listened to this word that was both familiar and unfamiliar. She looked dazed, pursed her lips, and her eyes were red.
"Xiao Que'er, although you have defeated the monster, the village is very grateful but..."
After a while, the old man told the girl the purpose of his trip.
Many villagers had seen and heard about Xiao Que'er killing monsters before, and thought she was a monster and very dangerous, so they wanted to report her to the government and the immortal master.
Although some villagers think that Xiao Que'er is well-behaved and sensible, if he continues to stay in the village, he may be able to protect the peace of the village.
But after discussion among many villagers, they decided to drive Xiao Que out of the village to avoid bringing disaster and trouble to the village.
"Leave the village"
Although her mother-in-law had told her about the county town, she was still confused when she heard about leaving the village.
Seeing the pity, heartache, fear and awe in Grandpa Wang and Aunt Wang's eyes, Xiao Que nodded in a daze.
I was an orphan. My mother-in-law adopted me and raised me. The people in the village were also very nice to me.
My brother is not here now.
My mother-in-law is gone too, and they don’t want to be in the village anymore.
Then just go by yourself.
Xiao Que'er said silently in her heart that she seemed to have grown a lot at this moment.
"Granny Li has passed away. The village will bury her."
Aunt Wang next to her continued, her voice sighing.
Granny Li has a very good reputation in the village. Her husband was a famous hunter in the village in his early years and had accumulated a lot of popularity.
The older child that was adopted before was also noticed by the immortal and taken away to practice.
Otherwise, many people in the village would think that Xiao Que'er was a monster and would report her to the government and the immortal master to take her away.
Only two people were willing to risk their lives to come and check on the girl and tell her about the incident.
"Ah."
Xiao Que nodded woodenly, knowing that some old people in the village would sleep and would not wake up, and there would be funerals.
I just didn’t expect my mother-in-law’s funeral to come so soon.
"Xiao Que'er, there is some dry food in here. You can keep it and eat it on the way. If you don't know where to go, you can go to the county town."
Looking at the bewildered Xiao Que'er, Aunt Wang sighed again and handed her a package that had been prepared long ago.
"Thank you, Aunt Wang."
The girl took the bulging package, raised her little head, and said softly, "I want to see my grandmother's funeral to the end."
"This"
Aunt Wang looked at the old man next to her.
"no problem."
The old man took a deep breath, nodded, and went out to call people to arrange a funeral for Grandma Li.
However, since many people were afraid of Xiao Que'er, only a small number of people came, and the funeral process was very simple and concise.
When these people saw the lonely girl with a look of desolate look, their eyes were filled with awe, fear and pity.
Although some people had expressed their willingness to adopt Xiao Que'er before, most people in the village disagreed, so there was nothing that could be done.
Finally, when the old woman was buried, the girl kowtowed deeply in front of her mother-in-law's grave, then carried the package and walked out of the village.
After walking a few steps, she turned to look at the remaining villagers, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you all for your care."
"Ugh."
The men sighed.
After all, apart from the fact that she won't grow up and her terrifying behavior when facing monsters, the little girl is a likable child at other times.
The girl walked out of the village with a confused look in her eyes, then lowered her head and reached out to hold the wooden sign hanging around her neck.
My mother-in-law said that this was left to her by her parents and was also the origin of her name.
Now that she has sobered up from the sad news of her mother-in-law's death, she remembered that when she was bitten by a big tiger, it was this wooden sign that killed the tiger.
At this moment, the wooden sign suddenly trembled, and a red light flew out and sank into her forehead.
"Que'er, when you see this message, it means you have grown up and realized that you are different."
"And now mother hasn't come back to pick you up, which means I'm still in danger. You have to keep going on the road ahead. No matter it's hatred or love, mother hopes you can be strong, just like your name, a sparrow turns into a divine phoenix, and sings in the sky!"
In the sea of consciousness between her eyebrows, a tall, glowing woman with an unclear face, who looked like a noble phoenix, spoke to her.
As the words fell, the woman's figure disappeared.
There seemed to be a lot of vague information, skills and techniques in her mind.
"Damn Danger"
When Xiao Queer saw this message, he was shocked all over.
Although she was adopted by her mother-in-law and acted as if she didn't care, she still felt envious when she saw other children of her age had parents.
Now that I see this message, I know that I have parents. They didn’t intend to abandon me, but they were in danger.
"So, my parents are immortals, and I am not a monster."
The little bird pursed its lips, and seemed to feel inexplicably relieved.
The reason why I am different from others is not because of myself, but because my parents are immortals!
"But where are my parents?"
She pursed her lips, looked around in confusion, and finally decided to go to the county town to inquire about her brother's situation.
Her brother was spotted by an immortal in his early years and taken away to practice immortal arts. He never came back. Now that her mother-in-law is dead, she wants to find her brother and tell him about this.
Just after Xiao Que'er left, the small mountain village gradually returned to peace.
That day, the simple little hill at the back of the mountain suddenly moved.
But the old woman who was wrapped in a straw mat, already dead, with wrinkled skin and covered with corpse spots, suddenly cracked.
A hazy and slender figure flew out from it, looked at the situation in front of him, pondered for a long time and said: "How long have I slept?"
The sound was very pleasant.
Just from her voice, you can tell that she is a beautiful woman in her prime.
Sea of Stars.
Before they knew it, more than half a year had passed since Lu Changsheng, Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang and others came to Black Reef Island to search for the whereabouts of Kunpeng eggs.
Under the search of many Jindan cultivators, Yuanying Zhenjun, and transformed demon kings, the area around Black Reef Island was almost turned upside down.
Seeing that there was no trace of Kunpeng eggs, the Yuanying Zhenjun from various forces were shocked and surprised.
After all, based on many calculations, searches, and elimination of various possibilities, it is highly likely that the Kunpeng eggs were teleported to this area. How could they not be there?
Immediately, Yuanying Zhenjun and Guadao Grandmaster joined forces to make divinations.
"Hmm? What's going on? This force of heaven's secret is not the resistance of heaven's secret before Kunpeng Egg!"
"Where does this resistance come from?"
"External force, or natural resistance?"
These Yuanying Zhenjun and fortune tellers obtained several medium tokens in the secret realm of Kunpeng's nest. They knew that the secret of Kunpeng's egg was chaotic and obscure, and the resistance was huge and difficult to calculate.
But after calculating just now, I found that the natural resistance of Kunpeng eggs is slightly different from before.
Although this resistance from heaven is like smoke and fog, impossible to capture and difficult to calculate, we can still obtain some information from the side.
The situation of Kunpeng eggs has changed!
1. Kunpeng eggs also have other means to isolate themselves from the secrets of heaven and hide themselves so that they cannot be discovered.
2. Someone obtained Kunpeng eggs silently.
But either way, it is very unreasonable.
If the Kunpeng egg had such means, it would never have dragged on until now. It should have used it as soon as possible after activating the teleportation array to avoid being captured by them and its whereabouts.
As for someone who obtained Kunpeng eggs silently.
But apart from Yuanying Zhenjun, who else can do this?
These Nascent Soul cultivators have been supervising each other.
When a Jindan cultivator encounters the Kunpeng egg, it is already a question whether he can leave it alone, let alone take the Kunpeng egg away silently and isolate it from the secrets of heaven!
It’s not that they can’t accept the Kunpeng eggs being obtained by a certain force.
After all, with so many people competing for a Kunpeng egg, there can only be one winner in the end.
But there are so many people and so many forces, and they have spent so much time and effort on the Kunpeng eggs, so how could they be willing to give up easily?
Even if the Kunpeng egg is finally born and is obtained by a Nascent Soul cultivator or a top-level Nascent Soul force, the latter will need to pay a sufficient price to take the Kunpeng egg away, right?
Being taken away silently like this without getting any benefit at all is really frustrating and I am unwilling to accept it!
In an instant, many Yuanying Zhenjun took action to block the area around Black Reef Island, wanting to investigate the situation.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng, the person involved, was completely unaware.
Or according to the situation of the hexagram, he searched honestly in the deep sea like most cultivators, and harvested some spiritual materials from heaven and earth by the way.
It’s true that there are no top-level rare spiritual materials in this deep sea, but there are quite a few common second- and third-level spiritual materials.
On this day, Lu Changsheng's heart moved slightly, and a blue and white jade talisman appeared in his hand. It was the communication talisman from the Goddess Palace.
"Huh? Is it over?"
Lu Changsheng knew that this was Shen Baishuang gathering everyone together. He narrowed his eyes slightly and guessed that the search for Kunpeng eggs must be over.
After putting away the jade talisman, he flew in the direction where the energy was pulling him.
Soon after coming out of the sea, Lu Changsheng felt the mighty aura of the Nascent Soul, which was overwhelming, like mountains, like an abyss, like a prison.
However, the power of these Nascent Souls was not directed at him.
Instead, the Nascent Soul cultivator standing in the sky did not restrain or conceal the spiritual pressure and aura emanating from his body, but revealed it directly.
Fortunately, among the cultivators who came to Black Reef Island, there were at least Jindan cultivators. Otherwise, if it was Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivators, facing such terrifying spiritual pressure, their magic power and energy would probably be unstable, or even their bodies would explode and they would die.
"Tsk, this atmosphere, isn't it right?"
Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart, and instantly noticed that the air was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
But it’s normal to think about it.
So many Yuanying Zhenjuns have spent their time and energy, and put in huge manpower, to calculate and search for the Kunpeng egg in the Xingxiu Sea. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, but in the end they didn't get anything, and they might even be intercepted by others. It would be strange if they were in a good mood.
He didn't pay much attention to it, and looked calmly at a group of brilliant red light not far away in the sky, which flew away.
"Meet the Second Palace Master."
But, above the gorgeous red clouds, there stood a beautiful woman in a red dress.
Her exquisite and gorgeous dress was like the sunset glow in the sky, the tail feathers of a phoenix, corresponding to the red glow, reflecting her graceful figure with unparalleled beauty.
However, at this moment, the Second Palace Master's face did not look very good. He was as cold as frost, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura that could shock people.
After all, she had put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of time and energy searching for Kunpeng eggs. Now that the situation of the Kunpeng eggs has changed, how could she be in a good mood?
But after all, she was a superior, so she nodded slightly and said "hmm", and asked Lu Changsheng: "Elder Xuanmu, have you gained anything in these days?"
"Replying to the Second Palace Master, I have been collecting some spiritual materials these days, and have not sensed the whereabouts of the Kunpeng eggs."
Lu Changsheng bowed and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Although it is difficult for a Jindan cultivator to lie under the observation of Yuanying Zhenjun.
But not to mention that Lu Changsheng possesses the soul of the Nascent Soul, just the basic knowledge of the fortune teller in observing people and faces would make him flawless under the observation of the Nascent Soul True Lord.
If the risk was not too great and there was no absolute certainty, Lu Changsheng would have even wanted to try Shen Jianjia's mantra bead to see if it could identify the truthfulness of his words.
"Ah."
Shen Baishuang didn't ask too many questions and gestured for him to rest aside.
After all, taking away Kunpeng eggs silently is too unbelievable.
Although Taoist Xuanmu's performance was extraordinary and far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators, it was far from reaching such an incredible level.
Lu Changsheng bowed and came to sit cross-legged behind the red cloud.
During this process, Jindan cultivators from the Goddess Palace and various forces came back from the deep sea one after another, and the scene was extremely grand.
"This is almost half of the high-level cultivators gathered in Xingxiu Sea, right?"
Lu Changsheng came here halfway and had never seen this scene before. He took the opportunity to observe the situation of the major forces.
Not long after, he saw a middle-aged man with a full forehead, ruddy face, weathered eyes, and wearing a brown robe.
Lord Shi Hai!
Lu Changsheng recognized this person at a glance as one of the Nascent Soul cultivators he was following.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy and attracting their attention, Lu Changsheng did not stay on him and continued to look at other figures.
But after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the other person who threatened his son Lu Quanzhen, the old demon Wugu.
"Didn't this person come?"
Lu Changsheng didn't care too much.
Even if he saw Master Shi Hai now, he would not fight with him.
Moreover, he had known about this True Lord Shi Hai before. He had extraordinary strength and methods. He was a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator. His combat power was estimated to be better than that of True Lord Tian Can and even True Lord Ming Sha.
He looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, quietly waiting for any movement.
"What's missing?"
"Lingxuzi, Fuhai Zhenjun, Wugu Old Demon, Black Dragon King and others are not here, so they left early."
Several Yuanying Zhenjun checked the situation and found out which Yuanying monks who had been to Black Reef Island were absent.
After all, there was no trace of the Kunpeng egg, and there was an additional resistance from the heavens, so the first thing they suspected was the Nascent Soul cultivator.
Even the transformed demon king was placed behind the Nascent Soul cultivators by them.
Compared with Yuanying Zhenjun, although the transformed demon king is powerful in combat, he is somewhat lacking in means.
For example, the art of divination, except for a very small number of demon kings with extraordinary talents or relevant blood talents, almost no demon kings understand it.
"Except Lingxuzi, the others don't understand the art of heavenly secrets. Although Fuhai Sect has fortune tellers, it is difficult for them to form such resistance to heavenly secrets!"
Several Yuanying Zhenjun communicated with each other through telepathy, trying to analyze into who had the Kunpeng egg.
"There was also a fourth-level whale king that we had never seen before. This whale appeared on Black Reef Island for unknown reasons. It is very likely that it has mastered the innate magical power of space. If there is a cave in its body, it may be able to isolate the secrets of heaven."
At this time, a Yuanying Zhenjun thought of the information reported before, that an unprecedented fourth-order whale king appeared on Black Reef Island, and expressed his doubts.
Although the probability is very small, they are unwilling to miss any possibility.
"As for whales, monsters have some blood relationship with Kunpeng, so they may be able to sense Kunpeng eggs more easily, so this possibility cannot be ruled out."
"But the problem is that this fourth-level whale king came out of nowhere and has now disappeared. There is no place to find him!"
Although other Yuanying Zhenjun thought this was possible, they also felt that finding this whale king was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, this whale king is really as they guessed, with innate magical powers in the field of space and the ability to isolate the secrets of heaven, making it extremely difficult for them to find him.
The Yuanying Zhenjuns in the field all knew that they had not obtained it, so after a brief exchange of ideas, one of them threw out a gem, which shone with brilliant light and circled around all the Jindan cultivators in the field.
I want to see if any of these people have been contaminated by Kunpeng eggs or Kunpeng nest-like aura.
"These Nascent Souls are really persistent about Kunpeng eggs and are unwilling to give up."
"Before, the spirit whale searched for Kunpeng eggs, and its whereabouts and energy were probably noticed by these Yuanying cultivators. If my Xuanmu Taoist vest suddenly disappeared, I'm afraid it would be noticed first, and then these Yuanying True Lords and Gua Dao masters of Xingxiu Sea would calculate the situation."
“Although I have the Tianyuan Baohuang Lotus and the family tree suppresses the secrets of heaven, so I can’t figure it out, but based on the few clues I found when I came to Xingxiu Sea, once I find Damengze and Dameng Fairy City, it will be a catastrophe.”
Lu Changsheng suddenly realized where the bad omen he had seen when he was fortune-telling came from.
Not long after, Baozhu also flew to Shen Baishuang's side. She did not stop it and allowed Lu Changsheng and others to be tested by Baozhu.
Lu Changsheng looked calm and expressionless.
He had anticipated this and cleared all the energy in his body, so the orb did not move.
But at this moment, in the distance, in a palace of bones that seemed to be between reality and the void, a gaze fell on Lu Changsheng from above the Danchi.
"Ok?"
Lu Changsheng instantly felt a chill falling on him.
But the next moment, Shen Baishuang looked towards the bone palace in the distance, which was filled with gloomy oppression and strange beauty, and shouted coldly: "What are you looking at!"
"Shen Baishuang, you still dare to provoke me, is it because you didn't learn your lesson from before?"
A clear, pleasant, cold and moving voice was heard from a palace that seemed to be built of bones.
Looking closely, through the steps, the gate, and the deep palace of the Palace of Bones, you can see a graceful figure lying on the throne.
But her whole body was flowing with dark blood light, as if she was surrounded by ghostly shadows, and her face could not be seen clearly. Only a graceful outline wearing a crown and garlands could be seen.
"Si Yinhuan, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
When Shen Baishuang heard this, a red sunset glow covered her body, and a golden ancient sword appeared in her hand, accompanied by a clear sound of a phoenix.
Although her strength is not as good as that of the Six Paths Demon Concubine, she does not submit to anyone except her sister Shen Jianjia.
Besides, it’s better to lose the battle than the fight. If she had lost to the opponent before, and now she is only a little bit more powerful than Bai Ruo when they meet, she would not deserve to be called Shen Baishuang.
"Haha, if you weren't afraid, why did you flee in such a panic before?"
The Six Paths Demon Concubine chuckled softly; her voice was ethereal and charming, alluring and soul-stirring, yet full of sarcasm.
"Wow!!!"
The golden patterns on the ancient sword in Shen Baishuang's hand intertwined and blossomed, and the golden phoenix coiled out, breaking through the endless turbulence of the void and killing towards the bone palace.
"boom!"
Above the White Bone Palace, a gigantic ghost hand that covered the sky and the sun suddenly appeared, merging with the turbulent void from all directions, and then spreading with terrifying pressure, striking towards the Golden Phoenix.
The two sides simply fought each other, causing the void to shake, and cracks in the void appeared in all directions, rolling up terrifying dark turbulence.
"Your Highness Demon Concubine, Second Palace Master Shen, if you have any grudges, we can settle them later. Now we have something else to do, can you both take a step back?"
Several Nascent Soul cultivators in the field saw the two people fighting after a disagreement, and they took action to dissolve the aftermath of the magic power and spoke out to persuade them.
If it were any other Nascent Soul cultivator, they would all suspect that he was deliberately causing trouble.
But neither the Six Paths Demon Concubine nor Shen Baishuang has a good temper or a good character.
Especially Shen Baishuang
"This Second Palace Master is really a hot-tempered person."
Although Lu Changsheng had heard of the character of the Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang, he was still a little confused when he saw her attack the Six Paths Demon Concubine directly after just a few words.
After all, according to rumors, the Six Paths Demon Concubine is obviously one level stronger than Shen Baishuang.
In this situation, isn't it asking for trouble to provoke the other party for no reason?
"Haha, okay, I'll see how tough she is later."
The ethereal and charming voice of the Six Paths Demon Concubine continued to be heard from the White Bone Palace, but Shen Baishuang snorted coldly and did not continue to take action.
Upon seeing this, the Nascent Soul cultivator in the field continued to check on the conditions of other cultivators through his orbs.
"Elder Xuanmu, have you seen this bitch?"
At this time, Shen Baishuang looked at Lu Changsheng and asked.
"."
Lu Changsheng's face twitched. He felt that if the Six Paths Demon Concubine was really going to come and cause trouble, Shen Baishuang could escape, but he and the others would be in trouble.
But he bowed slightly and said, "Replying to the Second Palace Master, I have never seen this Six Paths Demon Concubine."
"In that case, why is she looking at you?"
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Shen Baishuang naturally noticed that the Six Paths Demon Concubine was not looking at her, but at Lu Changsheng.
"I don't know that either."
Lu Changsheng paused, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said.
This was not a lie, he really didn't know why the Six Paths Demon Concubine was looking at him.
Shen Baishuang frowned slightly, then said with a half-smile: "Could it be that she has a crush on you? Yes, you cultivators who practice health-preserving techniques would be great as furnace cauldrons."
"If that's the case, Elder Xuanmu, you should be more careful in the future."
After Shen Baishuang finished speaking, she looked at the Six Paths Demon Concubine with some provocation.
After all, her words just now were not transmitted through the Nascent Soul's spiritual consciousness. If the Six Paths Demon Concubine wanted to listen, she could hear clearly what she said.
"."
Lu Changsheng was speechless.
If you two women have a fight, don’t involve me.
Previously, Lu Changsheng's divination predictions were uncertain, and he predicted that there would be a minor disaster later, or even a moderate disaster.
He also thought that the bad omen came from the chain reaction of Kunpeng eggs.
Now it might be a bad omen caused by Shen Baishuang angering the Six Paths Demon Concubine.
"Second Palace Master, please stop joking with me."
Lu Changsheng could only smile bitterly and bow, then look at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and no longer look at the Second Palace Master, for fear that the other party would use him to tease the Six Paths Demon Concubine again.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why is this Six Paths Demon Concubine paying attention to him?
Could it be about the Penglai Fairy City and the Sand Sea Crocodile God?
But this Demon Concubine of Six Paths has been staying on Black Reef Island all this time, so her affairs should not have been reported to her yet, right?
