Chapter 118 - The Heart of the Black Crow
Edited by Molly
Someone?
There are people outside?
Lin Shu’s first reaction was that Northern Xia’s pursuers had come here.
How could they find this place?
In an instant, there was another loud noise, the whole house was shaking violently, and ash was falling off the roof.
Xiao Shao leaned over to Lin Shu to block the small stones falling from the roof, and then put on his clothes, “Let’s go out and have a look.”
The fruit suddenly changed back to Beauty’s Grace and returned to the table. The next moment, the auntie opened the door and said quickly to them, “The ground is shaking, don’t be afraid, let’s go out!”
Lin Shu replied, took the sword, and carried Beauty’s Grace into his arms.
Auntie stomped her foot and said, “At a time like this, you still want to get the plant!”
Then, they left the house and went to the yard.
Every household in the village ran out, put out the candles in the house, lit the torches, and looked at the North together —— the huge roar came from the north.
The aunt said, “There was movement in the north, which does not look like an earthquake. During the last earthquake that happened here, the house almost collapsed.”
After a while, she softened down and calmly said to them, “There are always ground movements here, sometimes big and sometimes small. You two just came here. Don’t be afraid, ah.”
Xiao Shao asked, “Does it happen often?”
“Haist.” The old lady said, “Every three or five years, there will always be one.”
Lin Shu recalled that he had learned the course on 《The Study of Wind and Nature》, and it also said that there were frequent ground movements in some places, but once every three or five years, there was indeed a lot more.
Moreover, no matter whether Peach Blossom Land had moved frequently or not, the fruit had already said that there were people out there.
Aunt also said that the booming sound was only on one side, not like a hole in the ground.
He and Xiao Shao looked at each other.
Xiao Shao slightly nodded to him, and then said to the aunt, “My wife and I have studied in the Academy. We know something about Astronomy and Geography. We are going to have a look.”
The aunt said, “How can this be done! What if something goes wrong?”
Xiao Shao said, “We are only going to look at it from a distance. In the 《Records of Unusual Events》, it was said that there was a special kind of ground movement called ‘Earth Dragon Turns Over’. It starts from one place and slowly spreads around the surrounding area. It is very powerful. If it is determined that the ground movement is ‘Earth Dragon Turns Over’, the village will be damaged. We will go and observe it. If the situation is not good, we will tell everyone to retreat south.”
——It was true, and the auntie was really coaxed by him.
Xiao Shao said, “We will be back soon.”
The old lady nodded, and ran back to the house. She took a thick cloak, and put it on Lin Shu, “Hurry back! Be careful not to freeze!”
Lin Shu drew up his clothes and nodded to the aunt.
Auntie touched his head again, her eyes full of concern.
Lin Shu’s heart was very hot. She treated them with sincerity, as if she was treating her own relatives.
Xiao Shao took his hand, “Let’s go.”
When they were out of the village, Xiao Shao said, “Wu Que, take us there.”
The fruit appeared, snorted, grabbed the hands of the two and flew north.
The mountain in the north was shaking, like a giant beast moving at night.
When it trembled, the north side of the mountain burst out with a glare of dazzling light from time to time.
Xiao Shao: “Spells.”
Lin Shu: “Yeah.”
He felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual power.
&#k2014;&#k2014;Someone was bombarding the mountain with force.
Would it be the man who came to search for them? It seems impossible. If he was chasing himself and Xiao Shao, just fly over. Why bother to bombard this mountain?
However, in any case, this was not a good thing.
Peach Blossom Land was surrounded by high mountains and isolated from the outside world. Once the barrier is broken, this pure land would appear in the eyes of the world and return to the secular world.
They flew higher and higher, getting closer and closer to the mountain, and finally stopped at the top of the mountain.
Looking down, the torches stretched and figures were moving.
They covered their bodies with bushes on the mountain and looked down.
Through the moonlight and the light of the fire, one could vaguely see that some of those people were wearing black robes and were Northern Xia sorcerers. In addition, there were about hundreds of cavalrymen.
The wizard was smashing the clearing in front of the mountain with spells, causing the entire mountain to tremble.
The fruit put his hands together, forming a dharma seal, and then slowly separated his hands, a white light spot appeared between his palms.
The spot of light was like a firefly, floating towards the bottom of the mountain.
At the same time, Fruit’s hands formed a seal once again, and a mirror-like plane appeared in front of them, showing the scene near the light spot.
It was said that the fairies generated by the aura of heaven and earth often have some special spells. It seemed that this belonged to one of them. It was very useful for tracking and monitoring.
Lin Shu was thinking about it this way when he heard Fruit say, “It helps find a beauty . Once it comes across a witch, it stops.
Lin Shu: “......”
So, this method is only effective for female beauties?
Lin Shu started to doubt the real use of this method.
Half a moment later, the spot of light stopped.
Two pretty witches appeared on the mirror.
One of the lucky things was that they were chatting.
Once they start chatting, they would inevitably reveal what these people were up to.
One of them said, “Can the spell really blow away the mountain?”
“But it’s hard to say.” Another said, “There is no progress at the moment. The wizard has invited people who are good at arrays to come here, and they are probably coming soon.”
“If it is really the cave of the ancient great demon, with our abilities, I’m afraid we can’t open it. Only the great wizard can do it.”
“This is what you don’t understand.” The wizard said, “Most of the caves of ancient demons and immortals will not be completely closed.”
“Why do you say that?”
“The demon gods of olden times studied all their lives and often collected countless treasures. They wrote down countless secret scripts and techniques and placed them in the cave, waiting for those who are destined to inherit them. The techniques and treasures obtained by the great wizard in the demon stream also belong to this category. ”
“But even if spells are used to smash it, it can’t be opened, it can be seen that the cave mansion does not want you and me to enter.”
“It’s just a test. When the Great Demon’s cave was discovered, which one did not kill countless people to get the treasure? If this is really the cave of Qing Ming Demon Lord, even if thousands of people die, it’s worth it if one of them can get the inheritance. ”
Lin Shu was stunned.
Qing Ming Demon Lord?
Isn’t that his cheap master?
Xiao Shao obviously heard the name and said, “Your second master?”
Lin Shu: “Yes.”
After a while, he added, “if it’s not the stress.”
After hearing the news that his enemy, Immortal Lord Yuehua, had been killed, Qing Ming Demon Lord did not clap his hands and cheer. On the contrary, he was very angry. For a moment, he was not able to control himself and killed the apprentice who had come to report. He had no descendants, so he could only acquiesce that the person who got the secret script of 《Extinction》 would automatically become his apprentice.
If this was the place where Qing Ming Demon Lord’s cave was located, it was really a coincidence. The exotic plants on the mountain, the warm spring climate of the Peach Blossom Land, and the frequent earth movements can also explain it——the cave of the ancient great demon always has to have some peculiarities.
“If it’s his cave mansion,” Lin Shu thought for a while, and said, “These people can’t break it.”
Qing Ming Demon Lord was very interesting. His writing of 《Extinction》 was not like writing a secret script, but an autobiography. Part of the autobiography was about how he arranged his cave “Qing Ming Cave”. The strongest part of Qing Ming Cave is its defense, which made people laugh and cry. In the book of 《Extinction》, the Demon Lord wrote: “All the people in the world know that Yuehua is noble and pure. I only know that this person is not human. Before the closure of Qing Ming Cave, I set up nine defensive arrays, nine maze arrays, nine trapped arrays, nine killing arrays, and then nine layers of barriers. Since then, Qing Ming Cave has been the safest place in the world. Regardless of thousands of years, if Yuehua, that dog thief, ever finds this place and wants to take advantage of my retreat, he will have no bones left. How pleasant!”
After completing this preparation, Qing Ming Demon Lord began to introduce the layout of the Nine Ways of Defending Array, Nine Ways of Maze Array, Nine Ways of Trapping Array, and Nine Ways of Killing Array.
Regarding the part of the arrays, it was said that Yuehua was a person. Although his cultivation was not as good as the first monarch of the world, he was still worth mentioning in this world. He was afraid that the simple mountain protection array may not be able to stop him, so he must be ruthless.
This monarch delved into the classic books of arrays, and made the four, Nine, thirty-six arrays, which would surely shut out the dog thief. If the dog thief wants to play a black hand against this monarch, break through the array all the way, and die in the array, it is also his own fault and he cannot blame others.
These thirty-six way arrays were unique in the world, you could not describe its subtlety. If you can’t bear this method that was lost in the world, then I will teach you. This array had nothing to do with the magical power of this Lord’s 《Extinction》. If you want to learn, you can learn. If you don’t like to learn it, you can give it to others or you can sell it.
The Demon Lord had put in brackets here, [but I have left a lot of treasures. I think you would not be reduced to the point where you want to sell secret scripts to survive.]
Lin Shu said this to Xiao Shao from beginning to end.
Xiao Shao smiled softly, “The Demon Lord is indeed a man of temperament.”
In the mirror, the two witches continued to discuss.
“If you can open this cave, even if you are unable to get those two people back, the great wizard will definitely reward you.”
“It’s been a few days now, and those two people have already left the border. We can only try our best to open the cave and offer the treasure to the Great Wizard, so that we can make amends.”
“It’s a pity that after the great wizard got angry, he still went back to closed door cultivation. Otherwise, with the great wizard’s ability, he would have already opened the cave.”
“The great wizard rarely retreats for such a long time, and there is bound to be a big advance.”
“Naturally.”
So, in order to pursue themselves and Xiao Shao, these people went all the way south to this place. Then they found something strange and found Qing Ming Cave by mistake?
Looking at their current progress, they were still blocked by the first of the Nine Defensive Arrays. It is no different from the fantasy of breaking through the four, Nine, thirty-six arrays.
Xiao Shao said, “Let’s go back for the time being. When I resume my cultivation, we will come back here to explore again.”
Lin Shu nodded.
The two of them have no cultivation base now, even with the help of the fruit of the Yuan Ying cultivation base, it will not help, there is no way to get close to the entrance.
There were still four days left for the sequelae of “Nirvana and Life”. Within four days, those people will not be able to break the array.
Lin Shu had a deep feeling that Qing Ming Demon Lord was not an ordinary demon lord. Many of the theories in the secret script 《Extinction》 were extremely advanced and far higher than the level of Immortal Dao or Demon Dao.
They went back the same way, took out the talisman, and laid a protective barrier around the village to ensure that even if those people search here, they will not be able to find the existence of the village for a while, and then another layer of soundproof barrier was placed to reduce the villagers’ fears.
After returning to the village and pacifying the villagers, they went back to their houses.
On the small table, an oil lamp was lit. Lin Shu took out the 《Extinction》, and Xiao Shao and him sat side by side. They read the autobiographical part together.
Fruit did not squeeze in, and sat with his cheeks on the opposite side, dangling with his legs, bored.
Xiao Shao gave him a small mirror and a pile of rouge powder.
Fruit was overjoyed and began to learn make-up.
Lin Shu: “....”
I’m afraid that ten years later, there will be another Ling Feng Xiao. I don’t know if there will be any innocent boy like myself who will be harmed by him.
He continued to look down at the book and read.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Qing Ming Demon Lord was contradictory and inconsistent.
This man’s meridians were abolished by Immortal Lord Yuehua. He gnashed his teeth with hatred and ran back to Qing Ming Cave for seclusion and wrote the secret script. He laid down 36 arrays to engage Immortal Lord Yuehua.
As a result, it didn’t work out. On the day of going out of his seclusion, the apprentice sent good news. Immortal Lord Yuehua was killed. He was so angry that he shot the apprentice to death, and then went to avenge Yuehua.
After revenge, he went back to Qing Ming Cave and continued to write the book— this time he knew that he had no apprentice, and he was too lazy to go out and accept one. In this way, Lin Shu became a cheap apprentice.
If you want to enter Qing Ming Cave, it is also simple.
Either break through the thirty-six array, nine barriers, and directly break in—- Qing Ming Demon Lord said. If someone could do it, then he was not as skilled as that person and willing to bow down.
Or knock on the door three times with the ‘Extinction Needle’, and then set the secret signal to the Demon Lord.
As for what the secret code is, the Demon Lord said, you will know by then.
Lin Shu said, “Yueha” would not be the word and then the second couplet would be against that “dog thief”.
Xiao Shao turned to the last page.
On the last page, Qing Ming heard that Yuehua died fraudulently, so he immediately abandoned the book to seek revenge. He stopped writing the book, and stopped here abruptly.
“He...” Xiao Shao said, “He went and did not come back again?”
Lin Shu: “Could it be that he was killed by Immortal Lord Yuehua?”
Xiao Shao firmly said, “No”
Lin Shu: “??”
Xiao Shao: “If Yuehua wanted to kill him, he would have killed him as early as after he abolished his meridians.”
Lin Shu thought it made sense.
“Besides...” Xiao Shao turned forward and said, “After Qing Ming’s meridians were abolished, he set his Qi with Yuehua and chose not to restore his meridians. Instead, he had to use his body of completely abolished meridians to abolish Yuehua’s meridians, indicating that he only wanted to abolish Yuehua’s meridians but not to kill him.
Lin Shu thought about it and thought it was the same.
Yuehua abolished Qing Ming’s meridians, but his meridians can be restored, but Qing Ming was unwilling to restore them.
What can not be recovered is called waste?
Lin Shu was puzzled, “Why didn’t the Demon Lord go back?”
Xiao Shao looked at the pages of the book and said nothing.
Lin Shu turned his head to look at him and saw Xiao Shao’s lips in the faint candlelight lighting up a very faint smile.
Turning his head again, he saw fruit. He didn’t know when he put down the little mirror in his hand. Looking at this side, he turned his black beautiful eyes and suddenly said, “The heart of the black crow, only the black crow knows, bah.”
