Chapter 489 Listen to me, thank you~
Seeing Luo Yunping coming back, the old people at the entrance of the village said one after another: "Yunping, we have already thought about what you said. We have no opinion and we will listen to you."
"Yes, yes, we all listen to you."
"If you say yes, we will go with you. If you say no, we will all stay."
"It's good that everyone agrees." Luo Yunping looked around and saw that no one objected. He was slightly relieved, and said earnestly: "Our environment here has long since made it impossible to live. All uncles and uncles are getting old, so we should Let’s go to a nearby village to live in peace for the elderly.”
One of the old people said: "Okay, anyway, we will go to whichever village you go to."
"I can't leave, this is my hometown, I will never leave here, but my uncle is getting older and unable to move, so someone has to take care of him, no more young than me." Luo Yunping shook his head , interrupted everyone's persuasion, and said seriously: "This matter is settled like this. I will contact the nearby villages in the next few days to find a place for everyone to settle down. I will leave today."
"How can this work?" "Yunping, can you think about it again?"
Luo Yunping has made up his mind, so how can he be shaken by the villagers' words, soothe everyone's emotions, his eyes fell on Zhou Ji who was not far away, and he walked over and said, "Young master also saw that the water source here is dry, and the soil grows If there are no plants, survival is a big problem, so you might as well go to the nearby villages while it's still early in the sky."
"Since the name of this place is Ganquan Village, how can there be no water?" Zhou Ji looked around and said, "Could it be that some monster is causing trouble?"
Hearing the word 'monster', Luo Yunping's face changed slightly, and he said nervously: "There is no such thing as a monster! Don't talk nonsense, my lord!"
Zhou Ji smiled, and did not continue to ask further questions.
Ganquan Village is not too far away from Jiangdu. According to his original impression, Luo Yunping should have collaborated with the villagers to trick the people who came to the village to stay in the cave into the cave as food for the vine monsters.
But after just observing, Zhou Ji found that the young man in front of him seemed to be different from the person he remembered, and he was still actively persuading the villagers to move, which seemed to have no intention of harming anyone.
Zhou Ji put out the idea of "killing demons and eliminating demons" immediately, and turned to walk up the mountain.
Seeing Zhou Ji leaving the village, Luo Yunping let go of his hanging heart a little, but seeing that Zhou Ji did not go to other villages but went up the mountain along the path, he was worried that the other party would find the entrance of the cave, and even more worried that his parents in the depths of the cave would be harmed. The other party was dead, and his heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhou Ji, and agreed to stay in the village for one night.
The change in Luo Yunping's attitude aroused Zhou Ji's suspicion even more. On the surface, Zhou Ji was calm, but in fact he secretly observed the other party's every move. After night fell, he saw this person sneaking out of the village. After thinking about it, he quietly followed.
After following for not long, Luo Yunping disappeared in a shady corner of the mountain depression. Zhou Ji walked up to him and scraped away the withered grass in the corner, revealing a hole six or seven feet wide. The hole was dark and deep. After exploring for seven or eight steps, the earth and rock gradually became soft and smooth, and the place became wider.
Different from the desolation and drought in the village, there are vigorously growing green vines everywhere, Zhou Ji frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the white bones covered under the vines, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
The rattan is the skin bag, and the corpse is the viscera.
These vines have turned into monsters, but they are completely different from Si Teng. Zhou Ji even saw some human bones among the bones of these poultry and livestock.
These people may have been tricked by Luo Yunping and captured to feed the monsters; maybe they just accidentally broke into the cave and became the food of the demon vines, but anyway, the demon vines cannibalized people, which has already touched Zhou Ji's bottom line.
Going deeper along the cave, Zhou Ji paused, and heard Luo Yunping's voice from the depths of the cave, "Father, I'm here to see you."
Zhou Ji looked in sideways, and in the depths of the cave, a strand of vines entangled Luo Yunping's outstretched palm like a monster with sharp teeth smelling the breath of life.
Luo Yunping didn't resist at all, and let his sharp teeth penetrate into his flesh to devour his spiritual power, he groaned, showing pain. Giving his own spiritual power to the monster, Luo Yunping's face turned pale and his voice became a little weak.
"Sorry, Mom and Dad, there are no more livestock in the village, and all the beasts on the mountain have run away. But don't worry, I promise, I will bring you something delicious tomorrow!"
tomorrow? delicious?
Zhou Ji had a strange expression, and a ridiculous thought flashed through his mind, then he shook his head and shook off that thought.
He is not Cao Cao, he can't do something like killing Lu Boshe by mistake.
As Luo Yunping became weaker and weaker, the demon vine became more and more greedy. Instead of retracting the vine as before, it became more and more tightly entangled, and gradually extended along the arm towards the shoulder.
"Father! Mother! Stop! Don't you know me? I'm Yunping?" Luo Yunping tried to free his arm, but gradually lost the ability to resist due to the poison attached to the vine.
"Father! Mother!" Luo Yunping shouted repeatedly, but he couldn't stop the demon vine from devouring his spiritual power.
Just when he was almost desperate, a light blue sword light flashed in front of him, directly cutting off the vines wrapped around his hands.
'Wow~! '
As if feeling the pain, the demon vines in the cave began to riot. The originally green vines spread out rows of sharp teeth, and surrounded the two of them like monsters.
Luo Yunping looked around in a panic, only then did he notice Zhou Ji who appeared behind him.
"Don't kill my parents!"
Seeing the terrifying lightning flashing in Zhou Ji's hand, the coercion almost brought by thunder made him tremble, but he subconsciously stood up and stood in front of Zhou Ji.
"This monster is your parents?"
Zhou Ji was a little lost after finishing speaking, why is this a bit awkward?
"They're not monsters!" Luo Yunping explained anxiously, but before he finished speaking, a vine full of sharp teeth wrapped around his neck. Zhou Ji sighed softly, cut off the vine with a wave of his hand, and held him with a false palm. to the front.
In front of the demon vines with their fangs and claws, any explanation seems so pale.
"Are you still unwilling to recognize the reality?" Zhou Ji pointed to the sword, and sealed the Qingshen Lei, his face sank like water: "The moment you are controlled by Yuheng, your parents are gone."
Huanghuang Shenwei! The purple-glowing Shangqing divine thunder exploded, shaking the cave and even the entire mountain. Luo Yunping stared at the demon vines that were dying out in the sky thunder. If Zhou Ji hadn't restrained it in time, he would have Such a weak demon body was probably beaten back to its original shape by the aftermath of the Shangqing Shenlei before rushing forward.
Since the cave itself extends in all directions, the demon vines infiltrate their roots deep underground in order to absorb the water veins. The Shangqing Shenlei, which is enough to kill Li Pan'an into slag, cannot exert its maximum power underground, and it continues to spread along the vines along with the arc. , although the demon vine was severely injured with one blow, it failed to kill it completely.
Since the demon vine has eaten people, how could Zhou Ji allow it to survive?
Take a step forward, the scattered electric arcs gather in front of you, and the four light beams of earth, wind, water, and fire light up, turning into five spirits and returning to the clan. According to the changes in the earth veins and water vapor, you can perceive where the remaining roots of the demon vine are.
Luo Yunping realized that Zhou Ji was going to kill them all, but it was too late. With the sudden collapse below the cave, a huge pit that was almost an abyss appeared in front of him. Only then did Luo Yunping realize that the cave was pulled out by the demon vine at some time. A pothole the size of a mountain.
In the pothole, the fleeing roots were entangled with each other, turning into a humanoid monster, with endless madness in the green eyes, and the two who looked up at the ground raised their heads and roared.
"What is this?" Luo Yunping looked at the giant vine monster in horror. Although he knew it was transformed by his parents, he still couldn't help but take a half step back.
"This is how Yuheng demonized."
Zhou Ji looked solemn, the four elements that constitute the origin of the world continuously absorb the power of heaven and earth to supply the thunder pillar, and the thunder fell like a sword, wrapped in a destructive aura, directly piercing the giant monster that raised its head and roared.
A piece of shimmering broken jade fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Zhou Ji raised his hand to take it into his palm, and sure enough, it was the fragment of Yuheng.
Back to the village, some villagers have already been awakened by the earthquake just now, talking a lot about what happened.
Luo Yunping persuaded everyone to return, and then returned to his own courtyard, looked at Zhou Ji who was sitting in the courtyard, and said with a complicated expression: "Mr. Zhou must have come to Ganquan Village for this piece of Yuheng?"
"Not all of them." Zhou Ji put the Yuheng on the table, and said casually: "The collection of Yuheng is just a random thing, and the main purpose is to resolve an obsession that I don't know the reason for."
"Obsession?" Luo Yunping shook his head to express his incomprehension, Zhou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
You can't tell the other party that he is a traveler walking in the heavens. He was supposed to go to another world, but he was intercepted into this world by an unknown obsession, even though he knew this world before coming. He had an established impression, but because the impression deviated too much from the reality, it could only be used as a reference, so he came to Qingquan Village to find out whether the obsession was related to Luo Yunping's obsession with his parents.
If you can’t explain it, then there’s no need to explain it. Zhou Ji changed the subject and said, “Just now in the cave, I heard you keep calling that monster’s father and mother. I don’t know why?”
"Father and mother are actually my adoptive parents. They were just ordinary people. In fact, I caused them to become like that." Luo Yunping showed grief, his eyes darkened, "I was originally a banlangen on the mountain, Perhaps it is because of the fragments of the jade balance buried under the roots, so it can be transformed into shape."
Banlangen.
Although it was a bit inappropriate, Zhou Ji still couldn't help giving him a strange look.
Luo Yunping fell into memories and didn't notice the change in Zhou Ji's expression, "I was a baby when I first transformed into a human form. My parents picked me up when they went to the mountain to collect medicine and raised me. Later, the two of them accidentally contracted a serious illness. The medicine stone Difficult to cure, I thought of the fragment of Yuheng under the roots, so I took it out, I thought I could use its spiritual power to heal my parents, but I didn't expect it to hurt them instead."
Zhou Ji sighed: "Yuheng has the effect of attracting spirits and absorbing spirits. The spiritual power contained in it is too complicated. If ordinary people use it, it will easily erode consciousness and become demonized out of control."
"That's right." Luo Yunping showed annoyance and pain, and said bitterly: "At first they ate some raw meat, and later they caught pigs and sheep in the village to eat while no one was paying attention. Seeing them become more and more terrifying, staring at them When they were living creatures, their eyes glowed green. In order to prevent them from hurting others, I had no choice but to bring them into the cave. As a result, they were still alone, but gradually they fused together, becoming bigger and bigger, and the flesh and blood were still covered. The vines growing deep here are entangled, probably there is no other food in the hole, so they just, just started to eat each other."
In Luo Yunping’s heart, he already knew that his parents were gone, but he still refused to believe it. Otherwise, he would not have persuaded the villagers to move to other nearby villages.
Now that the vine monster has been exterminated, it is a relief for him, or for his parents.
"Anyway, thank you for saving my life from the vine monster." Luo Yunping turned to look at the quiet village in the middle of the night, opened his mouth to spit out an inner alchemy, and floated towards Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji looked at the demon pill that Luo Yunping spat out, and leaned back tactically, showing the face of the old man in the subway.
"What do I want your demon pill for?" Zhou Ji sent the inner alchemy back to Luo Yunping with a flick of his sleeves, picked up the jade balance fragments on the table and shook them, "I'll take the jade balance fragments."
Luo Yunping looked down at the inner alchemy in his hand, curled his palms, and exerted force slowly. The scattered spiritual power was like stars, floating in every corner of Ganquan Village with the evening wind.
Everything started because of him, so it will end because of him.
Zhou Ji sighed when he saw Luo Yunping's actions, then turned and left.
Early the next morning, the villagers who got up early were surprised to find that the spring in the village that was about to dry up flowed out again, and a little bit of new green sprouted on the barren land.
The demon core is destroyed, Luo Yunping is no different from ordinary people now.
Without the monster demonized by Yuheng, Ganquan Village quietly revived under the redemption of Luo Yunping's exhausted cultivation.
Zhou Ji took Yuheng away from Ganquan Village, thousands of miles away in Zixian Villa, Ouyang Shaogong finally got a clue to another piece of Yuheng.
After the first month of August, Baili Tusu learned that Ouyang Shaogong and Xunfang were taken away by Lei Yan, the master of the Qingyu altar, to Zixian Villa, and immediately transferred to Bishan to rescue Shaogong.
On the way, I met Yin Qianshang, who claimed to be Shaogong's friend. At first, I had some doubts about the other party's identity, but the misunderstanding was resolved after Aunt Tong's introduction.
How could Fang Lansheng be missing from the excitement of going to save Shaogong? Even though Fang Ruqin repeatedly objected, Fang Lansheng still insisted on going. Fang Ruqin knew that no matter how much he tried to stop him, this kid would still follow him secretly, so he had no choice but to agree.
Watching the backs of Tu Su Qingxue and Lan Sheng leaving, Fang Ruqin couldn't help but flash what Zhou Ji had said.
Maybe. Really need to learn some spells or something?
In this way, Lan Sheng followed him secretly, and she could catch him back. Shao Gong was in danger, so she wouldn't be unable to help.
Looking listlessly at the ledger delivered from the shop, Fang Ruqin's eyes fell on the "Maoshan Daofa" confiscated from Fang Lansheng before, and subconsciously took it
