Chapter 136 The Missing Zhao Linger [asking for monthly votes]

"Junior brother, are you crazy?!"

Xu Changqing was shocked and angry, and drew his sword against Chu Yang. He couldn't imagine that his junior brother would do such a crazy thing.

"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet!"

Chu Yang smacked his lips, and a sword energy shot out, scraping the skin of the grandfather and grandson. As a result, there was another face under the skin.

"Human skin mask! There is something wrong with these two people!"

Li Xiaoyao exclaimed, then stepped forward to open the faces of the two people, revealing the faces of two strange men, who were about twenty years old.

They stared at a crescent moon on their foreheads!

Li Xiaoyao shouted: "Brother Xu, they are Moon Worshipers!"

Xu Changqing stepped forward to investigate, turned his head in surprise and asked: "Junior brother, how did you know?"

How did you know?

Of course, I read the guide!

"Although my granddaughter looked panicked, her breath was very steady, like someone who practices martial arts. The old man was the same, walking unsteadily, but his breath was not disordered at all."

"I could tell at a glance that they were not good people!"

Chu Yang said with a firm tone.

Li Xiaoyao scratched his head and asked, "What if I guessed wrong?"

Chu Yang spread his hands, "It's wrong, what else can I do?"

Xu Changqing's face was livid.

Li Xiaoyao wiped the cold sweat from his head, "Fortunately I didn't guess wrong..."

Chu Yang said speechlessly, "Compared to whether I guessed right or not, what's more important now is that the Moon Worship Sect is very close to us, and they already know our route of action!"

Li Xiaoyao was shocked.

Xu Changqing fell into deep thought, his eyes solemn.

Chu Yang suggested: "Now that I have successfully trained my Qi and Xiaoyao can fly a sword, why not change the plan and go back to Shushan directly?"

Xu Changqing nodded, "This is the safest way. When Brother Li officially becomes a disciple, we can fight the Moon Worship Sect openly."

Li Xiaoyao was very excited. As long as he became a disciple of the Shushan Sect, it would mean that he had stepped half a foot into the threshold of a hero.

This is his biggest dream in his life!

"First, clean up the bodies of these two people. Let's wait and see if we can catch a few more fish."

Chu Yang ordered Li Xiaoyao to clean up the scene, and then the three of them began to wait and see. If their companions lost contact, the rest of the Moon Worship Sect would definitely not be able to sit still!

The sky gradually darkened.

The forest became pitch black, with only a little moonlight remaining in the mottled shade of the trees.

Noises began to be heard in the bushes.

Several black shadows suddenly jumped out, as if they were looking for something.

"The poisonous insects are reacting violently, so they should be here. Where did they go?"

"Wasn't it true that these two guys were eaten by the snake demon?"

"It's not like they don't have legs. Can't they run away if they can't win?"

"It's a bit weird..."

As soon as the voice fell, three sharp sword lights shot out from the darkness. Only the sound of puffing was heard, and blood exploded like a fountain.

Chu Yang looked at the bodies lying on the ground and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay! Now the Moon Worshipers won't get any news from us for a long time."

Li Xiaoyao made a sword flower in the moonlight, looking quite proud.

No wonder, this was his first time to take action, and it was considered that he had officially started his journey as a hero.

"Let's go, so as not to cause trouble."

Xu Changqing took the lead in flying away on his sword, and he didn't seem to like seeing this scene.

"Brother, you need to practice more..."

Chu Yang shook his head and asked Li Xiaoyao to dig out the bodies that had been buried before. Then he fired a fireball spell, and several Moon Worshipers were burned clean along with the poisonous insects on their bodies.

After the three returned to Linjiabao, Li Xiaoyao, who was overjoyed, heard a terrible piece of bad news.

Zhao Linger was missing!

Angry Li Xiaoyao immediately found Lin Tiannan and asked him about Zhao Linger's whereabouts.

Lin Tiannan did not show any guilt, but looked at Li Xiaoyao with a complicated expression.

Liu Jinyuan hesitated to speak.

Lin Yueru was at a loss, as if she was frightened.

Chu Yang saw their reactions and suddenly remembered something he had overlooked.

Zhao Linger was pregnant!

She showed her true identity as a descendant of Nuwa!

Li Xiaoyao was now questioning Lin Tiannan anxiously.

"How could Ling'er disappear for no reason?!"

"Little brother, please be patient. This matter is a bit complicated."

"What's complicated? I gave her to you to take care of, but she's gone!"

"Hey! Little brother, I'm telling you the truth. Miss Zhao is a monster! She ran away!"

"You are the monster! Old bastard, I'm going to make you pay today!"

After that, Li Xiaoyao drew his sword and was ready to fight to the death with Lin Tiannan.

Chu Yang reached out and held him down.

Li Xiaoyao struggled hard and said anxiously: "Brother Chu, let me go! I don't know where they took Ling'er, and they are perfunctory here!"

Lin Yueru was furious. She went to find Zhao Ling'er before and was scared by the other party's half-human, half-snake form. Now she heard Li Xiaoyao talking nonsense again.

"That Zhao Linger is a snake demon. Not only I, but also some servants and maids saw it. If you don't believe me, go ask!"

Li Xiaoyao's eyes were bulging, as if he wanted to eat someone, "Try to say it again!"

Lin Yueru stared, her momentum was not weak at all, "Just say it..."

"Shut up!"

Chu Yang's domineering aura flashed by, and he tried his best to restrain it, but the amazing aura still scared everyone present.

Lin Tiannan's face was gloomy, and he felt that he was provoked.

Chu Yang took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "This is my fault. I didn't make it clear to you all in advance. Ling'er is a descendant of Nuwa, not a monster."

Everyone was at a loss, as if they had never heard of Nuwa's descendants.

Xu Changqing's expression changed and he explained: "I once read some ancient books in the Sutra Pavilion. It said that when the world first opened, Pangu's spirit transformed into three great gods, namely Fuxi Shennong and Nuwa."

"These three great gods are also called the Three Emperors by future generations!"

"Because there were too few creatures in the world, the three emperors began to create the Holy Spirit in different forms. Fuxi used the fruit of the divine tree in the heaven as a body, injected his own essence into it, created a god, and proclaimed himself the Emperor of Heaven."

"Shennong took the grass and trees of the earth as the body, injected his own Qi, and created the beast."

"Finally, Nuwa, the empress, mixed earth and water, shaped a human form in her own likeness, and then injected her own blood and spiritual power to create a human being."

"Later Shen Nong disappeared, and the beasts with low intelligence began to run rampant in the world. Soon after, Chi You, a ruler with extremely high wisdom, appeared."

"In order to seize the living space, the beast tribe, led by Chi You, launched a war against the human race. The human race was unable to resist, so it asked the gods for help."

"The war between the three tribes broke out, and the beast tribe was driven to the demon world by the humans and gods. In the following years, friction began to arise between the gods and humans."

"The Emperor Fuxi was dissatisfied with the disrespect of humans to heaven, so he sent disasters and ordered the gods to destroy the earth. Nuwa led the humans to resist, refining stones to mend the sky, and saved the surviving humans."

"Nu Wa sacrificed herself due to exhaustion, so Fu Xi reflected on himself and finally closed the door to heaven, completely cutting off the human and divine realms."

"Although Nuwa died, she left behind descendants to protect mankind from generation to generation."

"Nonsense! Nuwa is one of the three emperors and a great god. How can she be a snake demon?"

Lin Yueru was a little flustered and immediately retorted.

Xu Changqing said respectfully: "The great goddess Nuwa is indeed half human and half snake. This is not only recorded in ancient books, but there is also a statue of Nuwa on the Shu Mountain. The disciples worship it day and night and are very familiar with it."

"As for why Miss Zhao first became a human body and then turned into a half-human and half-snake, I don't know."

Chu Yang continued: "The descendants of Nuwa are demigods. Their bloodlines are not visible in normal times. It is because of pregnancy that the bloodline hidden in the body is activated, and this is why the phenomenon of atavism occurs."

Chu Yang and Xu Changqing are Shushan disciples, and what they say is very credible.

Even if everyone has never heard of the so-called descendants of Nuwa before, they now have to admit the fact that Zhao Ling'er is a descendant of Nuwa.

"Then...that means we made a mistake."

Lin Yueru's face turned pale. She was the one who insisted that Zhao Ling'er was a monster. If anything happened, she would have to bear the main responsibility.

"It's because Lin is ignorant and has never heard anything about Nuwa's descendants before. This is the first time that my daughter has encountered such a situation. I hope Brother Li can forgive me."

Lin Tiannan held up his hands and apologized to Li Xiaoyao, but Li Xiaoyao was distracted at the moment and couldn't hear what Lin Tiannan was saying?

All he could think about was what Chu Yang said, "Zhao Ling'er is pregnant."

The disappearance of two people was much more serious than the disappearance of one person. Li Xiaoyao fell into great fear, and his whole body was shaking like a rocker.

When Lin Yueru saw this, she also backed away with fear on her face and quietly hid behind Liu Jinyuan.

Liu Jinyuan, who was worried about Zhao Ling'er's safety, did not bother to chat with his cousin, and said quickly: "Uncle, now is not the time to talk about this. Quickly mobilize the manpower of Linjiabao to find Miss Zhao!"

Lin Tiannan nodded.

Xu Changqing immediately rejected Liu Jinyuan's proposal and shook his head: "No! Ordinary people simply cannot accept Zhao Ling'er's behavior at this moment. Even if it is explained clearly, they may not be able to accept it. It is better for us to find it ourselves."

"Senior brother, you are right." Chu Yang slapped Li Xiaoyao on the back of the head and said angrily: "Why are you shaking? Can she run past our sword with two legs? With this skill, everyone has found her !”

Li Xiaoyao suddenly realized and rushed out of the door.

"The matter is urgent, Senior Lin, please forgive me for being rude, I can only say goodbye."

Xu Changqing and Chu Yang clasped their fists at Lin Tiannan and followed Li Xiaoyao away.

Lin Tiannan watched them leave in silence. He had been in the world for decades and had never made such a big mistake as today.

"After some time, I will go to Shushan in person to find the Sword Master for verification. If it is true, I will take you to apologize to Miss Zhao."

Lin Tiannan felt uncomfortable looking at Lin Yueru who was blaming herself.

Lin Yueru said stubbornly: "This is my fault, I will bear the consequences myself!"

Lin Tiannan was furious, "How can you bear it? If something happens to Miss Zhao, it will cost you two lives. How can you pay for it with your life?"

"If you risk your life, risk your life!" Lin Yueru roared, then rushed out, and in the blink of an eye no one was seen.

"Cousin, wait for me!" Liu Jinyuan was so anxious that he did not forget to salute Lin Tiannan, "Don't worry, uncle, I will take good care of my cousin!"

Lin Tiannan shivered with anger and simply closed his eyes, focusing on being out of sight and out of mind.

After the two left Linjiabao, they embarked on a journey to find Zhao Ling'er.

On the other side, Chu Yang and the others were also looking for traces of Zhao Ling'er with their swords.

In order to improve efficiency, the three of them acted separately. Chu Yang circled the nearby mountains several times, seeing and hearing the domineering force without any feedback.

"It's strange. Why can't I perceive Zhao Ling'er? Is it because he is blocked by spiritual power?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out..."

Things suddenly became troublesome.

Chu Yang originally thought that he could easily find Zhao Ling'er's traces, but now she was in the "Nuwa state" of half human and half snake, and her body was exuding spiritual power all the time.

Just like electromagnetic waves can interfere with signals, seeing, hearing, and color can also be interfered with by this powerful force.

After searching for a long time with no results, Chu Yang contacted Xu Changqing through a secret method and learned that the other party also failed to find Zhao Ling'er.

Late at night.

The three of them met on a barren mountain.

Li Xiaoyao sat on the ground in despair. The boy who usually talked the most could not say a word at this moment.

Chu Yang patted his shoulder and consoled him: "Although I couldn't find Ling'er, I just made a divination for her. The divination shows that disaster will turn into good luck and misfortune will turn into good luck. Moreover, she is also a descendant of Nuwa. The blessings are profound, you don’t have to worry too much.”

Li Xiaoyao grabbed Chu Yang's hand excitedly, "Brother Chu, is this really true?! Ling'er will be fine, right!"

Chu Yang said firmly: "Of course, when have I ever lied to you!"

Xu Changqing looked at Chu Yang blankly. He had never heard that his junior brother could do divination, but then he thought about it. Chu Yang spent every day in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, so it was normal for Chu Yang to know all sorts of things.

I just don’t know if it’s accurate.

After all, things like divination are linked to personal cultivation.

After receiving Chu Yang's assurance, Li Xiaoyao finally felt a little more at ease. Exhausted both physically and mentally, he slowly lay down on the grass.

"I promised my grandma and aunt that I would protect Ling'er, but in the blink of an eye such a big thing happened."

"I didn't take good care of Ling'er at all along the way. Instead, she accommodated me everywhere and even asked me to follow you to slay the demon..."

Li Xiaoyao looked at the stars in the sky and was stunned.

Chu Yang and Xu Changqing looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh. People really have to experience some things to grow.

Xu Changqing said with relief: "You are still young. When you are young, all kinds of things will happen and you will make all kinds of mistakes. Pay the price for it, and then you can learn to grow."

Li Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and said: "The price is too high, I simply can't afford it."

And the other side.

Zhao Ling'er, who turned into half human and half snake, was first misunderstood and driven away by the villagers, and then met a kind-hearted old mountain god who explained her life experience.

After learning that she was a descendant of Nuwa, Zhao Ling'er could face her own strangeness, so she eagerly wanted to see Li Xiaoyao.

On the way back to Suzhou City, Anu, who sensed Zhao Ling'er's position with the help of a "thread", suddenly appeared.

Zhao Ling'er was very happy to recognize her childhood friend.

The two chatted for a long time until late at night. Zhao Ling'er mentioned that he wanted to find Li Xiaoyao.

Anu wanted to take Zhao Linger back to Nanzhao directly.

Zhao Ling'er begged.

The two immediately had a little argument.

It happened to be at this time.

Lin Yueru and Liu Jinyuan, who went out to look for Zhao Ling'er, discovered the two.

Lin Yueru felt guilty about Zhao Ling'er. When she saw this, she thought Anu was bullying Zhao Ling'er, so she drew her sword and rushed forward without saying a word.

Liu Jinyuan hurriedly shouted: "Cousin, calm down! Calm down!"

If Lin Yueru could calm down casually, she wouldn't be her. She still prefers to use the sword in her hand instead of using her brain.

Anu also has a temper. Although he usually smiles, he is equally careless when angry.

Seeing this inexplicable woman coming up and stabbing people with a sword, Anu immediately cast a spell, and there was a faint fluorescence between his hands.

After Lin Yueru forced Anu back with a sword, she just wanted to explain to Zhao Ling'er, but found that she couldn't move.

"What evil spell did you cast on me, you witch?!"

Lin Yueru was shocked and angry.

"You are the witch! Anu is the disciple of the holy aunt and the future priest of Nanzhao Kingdom!"

Anu stomped her feet angrily, preparing to cast a spell to teach this unscrupulous woman a lesson!

Zhao Ling'er was shocked by this sudden scene!

It was already late at night, and the moon was so dark and windy that it was impossible to see anyone. Zhao Ling'er only recognized Lin Yueru after hearing her voice.

"Anu, stop it, she's not a bad person!"

"What's not a bad person? Didn't you see her slashing us with a sword?"

Hearing the exchange between the two, Lin Yueru was also stunned, "You two know each other?"

Anu put his hands on his hips and said angrily: "That's not the case!"

Liu Jinyuan quickly stepped forward, apologized to Anu and Zhao Ling'er, and then said to Lin Yueru: "Cousin, I asked you to calm down, why are you disobedient!"

Lin Yueru said aggrievedly: "How did I know they knew each other? I thought she was bullying Ling'er."

Seeing that the two people's attitudes towards her were completely different from before, Zhao Ling'er asked timidly: "Brother Jin Yuan, sister Yueru, aren't you afraid of Ling'er?"

Lin Yueru blushed and was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. She could only whisper, "I'm sorry..."

"Miss Ling'er, my cousin was impulsive before. She didn't know that you were a descendant of Nuwa, and mistook you for a monster, which made you suffer. Jin Yuan is here to apologize to you on behalf of your cousin. Please forgive me."

With that said, Liu Jinyuan bowed deeply towards Zhao Linger.

Hearing the word monster, Anu immediately became unhappy and said angrily: "This is our princess of Nanzhao! Who are you calling a monster?"

Liu Jinyuan quickly apologized and said: "Yes, yes, it's all our fault for being blind. Please ask the girl to be magnanimous."

"Anu, forget it, they are not bad people," Zhao Linger held Anu who was about to continue to lose her temper, and then asked curiously: "How do you know that I am a descendant of Nuwa?"

Seeing that Zhao Linger didn't take it to heart, Liu Jinyuan smiled and repeated what Chu Yang said.

"I see." Zhao Linger sighed, "If Taoist Chu was there at that time, I might not be so panicked..."

Anu asked curiously: "The man named Taoist Chu is quite powerful. He actually knows about the Nuwa tribe. These things were told to me by the Saint Aunt. How did he know it from?"

Thinking of the seemingly omnipotent Taoist Chu, Zhao Linger felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart, "Taoist Chu is knowledgeable about ancient and modern times, and it's not surprising that he knows these things."

Anu didn't understand, but from Zhao Linger's attitude, she felt that the other party should be as smart as Uncle Baiyue.

Liu Jinyuan seemed to think of something, and exclaimed, "Young Master Li and Taoist Priest Chu left Suzhou City to look for you this morning. Did Miss Ling'er not meet them?"

Zhao Ling'er shook her head and talked about her encounter with the mountain god and Anu.

Liu Jinyuan said with regret: "With the protection of the mountain god, maybe we missed it."

Just when the three were chatting happily, a voice suddenly interrupted.

"I have no objection to you chatting, can I move? I have been standing here for a long time." Lin Yueru said with resentment.

Zhao Ling'er screamed and quickly asked Anu to remove the spell.

Anu glared at Lin Yueru fiercely and reluctantly removed the spell.

Knowing that Li Xiaoyao was not in Suzhou City, Zhao Ling'er no longer had the idea of ​​entering the city, and immediately prepared to leave with Anu.

Lin Yueru and Liu Jinyuan followed closely.

Anu looked at Lin Yueru warily, "What do you want to do?"

Lin Yueru snorted, "I want to send Ling'er to Li Xiaoyao safely, otherwise I won't go back!"

Zhao Ling'er whispered, "Sister Yueru, there's no need to do this."

Lin Yueru lowered her head and said nothing, but she didn't mean to leave.

Liu Jinyuan sighed, "Miss Ling'er, just let us follow you. My cousin feels very guilty about this matter and had a big fight with her uncle. If she doesn't let her do something, she won't feel at ease."

The considerate Zhao Ling'er understood Lin Yueru's difficulties, so she smiled and said, "In this case, then I'll trouble you two."

Lin Yueru's face was happy.

Anu whispered, "Princess, if we don't go to Suzhou City, where will we go next?"

Zhao Ling'er was also worried. Now she was looking for Li Xiaoyao, and Li Xiaoyao was also looking for her.

As the top scholar, Liu Jinyuan had a quick mind and immediately came up with an idea, "Let's follow the route you set before. Maybe we can meet Master Chu and his team halfway."

Lin Yueru was quick and took out a map from her bag and placed it in front of everyone.

Zhao Linger looked at it for a while and put her hand on a small village.

Baihe Village!

...

The next day.

Chu Yang and others, who had been looking for Zhao Linger all night but couldn't find her, never dreamed that Zhao Linger would actually go in the direction of Suzhou City.

And they were looking in the opposite direction, so they got nothing.

Although they didn't find Zhao Linger, the three of them met someone they didn't expect.

In the mountains and fields, a group of pedestrians with uniform steps suddenly appeared. The leader was sturdy and had a full beard. He looked like an old man in his sixties.

The old man walked like a dragon and a tiger. Before he approached Chu Yang, he felt a murderous aura on the battlefield.

Chu Yang murmured, "Such a strong murderous aura, it should be a general who has retired from the army, right?"

The two sides passed by each other.

The young people gathered around the old man silently touched the weapons on their waists, as if they were on guard against Chu Yang and his friends.

Seeing this group of people so alert, Chu Yang became interested in their identities.

At this moment, the old man suddenly stopped and whispered to the young man next to him: "Tang Yu, go over and ask for directions."

The young man bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Okay, foster father!"

The whispered communication between the two did not escape Chu Yang's ears, and his expression changed.

Tang Yu?

Foster father?

Chu Yang probably knew the identity of this group of people.

The old man in the lead should be the founding father of Nanzhao State - Shi Gonghu, the adoptive father of Shi Jieren, the leader of the Moon Worship Sect.

It was he who cultivated this great demon who almost destroyed the world.

From a certain perspective, it can also be said that he cultivated the first scientist in the world of immortal heroes...

In addition to Shi Gonghu, there was also a group of subordinates of the Nanman general who followed him to the Central Plains.

The young man was his other adopted son Tang Yu. With the previous experience of Shi Jieren, Shi Gonghu was very strict in teaching Tang Yu.

Tang Yu was even more pedantic than Liu Jinyuan, who was a scholar.

Seeing Tang Yu walking towards him, Chu Yang had a new idea in his mind.

Now that Zhao Linger's whereabouts were unknown, one more person meant more strength. Thinking of this, Chu Yang took the initiative to ask for their help.

"Are you going to Xianling Island to look for someone?"

Tang Yu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

Shi Gonghu, who was walking at the front of the team, also heard the voice and turned around to stare at Chu Yang.

As a result, the whole team turned around, and a murderous aura arose spontaneously.

Xu Changqing noticed something was wrong, and thought of the Moon Worshipers they had met before, so he mistakenly thought that this group of people were also Moon Worshipers.

A flash of cold light, the long sword was unsheathed!

Xu Changqing said coldly: "You guys are really haunting!"

Shi Gonghu's subordinates all drew their weapons, all standard scimitars, very similar to the weapons of the Moon Worshipers.

Now even Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but draw his sword to confront them.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Chu Yang looked at Xu Changqing with a question mark on his face: "Do you have a grudge?"

Please give me a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month! ! ! !
